This is probably a clip from a porn movie intro.

Try that shit abroad in real life, and watch your sorry ass sued and jailed for sexual harassment!!

On a serious note though, wetin gay people use do Nigerians that now warrants arresting them for just being who they are?

Were you meant to say 4th mainland Bridge?

Exactly sir.

The 4th shall be the greatest.

Facilitate the building of the FOURTH MAINLAND bridge ASAP to divert some of the heavy traffic from The Western Flank of Lagos
Mainalnd <====> Island into the Eastern Flank Ikorodu <====>Lekki.

This will complete the ring of Lagos traffic flow and shift some of the activities that makes The western flang more congested to the eastern flank resulting in more evening out.

gregyboy:



Are trying to defend the west with no prove ...
I can account on westerners who pratice underage marriage just like the north mostly the yoruba muslims Pasay

And for the baby what choice do you give it i bet even surgery wont work on him look at his eyes all bloody its not just skin defection alone ...probably give it a chance to survive it wont ...
Probably donate the baby for an experiment so it help other people ...dont forget the wisest decision is the hardest to make

forget religion for one second and face the facts.

There are very young people who get married in the ss.. i have personaly seen 16 year old Ijaw and cross river girls in family homes... What do you have to say about that?
Or haven't you seen threads of very young couples from the east as well on this same NL?

You are just jumping into conclusion Even look at the name of the person who reported this event, does that look like a name from west to you?

gregyboy:
Hmm...its hard but i advice

Just kill the baby and let him come back again than letting him pass this horror while growing up

I believe the mother is from the west or north the way they pratice child abusive marriages is alarming....

On the other hand if its genetic two things are involved is either she comitted incest sex with a fellow relatvie or coincidentally meet someone who also is a carrier of this deficiency for this to occur...
But for my northern and western brothers i believe it could be the former

HOW DO YOU KNOW where they are from?

From my observation, this is somewhere in the SS. And who told you the West practice underage marriage?

And are you seriously advocating that the baby be killed?

I was scared, I won't lie.

And how do you know the ethnic make up of slaves from the Bight of Benin before the 1800s or that Yoruba groups were not there?
There are significant recorded Yoruba presence in places like Haiti, Louisiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and other places well before the 1800s.

Even if your assertion were true, it is on record as well, that Igbo slaves also kept on arriving into the Americas (although not the USAA) as late as the Yoruba kept arriving. Compare and contrast the cultural legacies of the late arrivals on both sides.

Besides, Congo influences in the new world are very visible in the places were they concentrated. Palo Mayombe, Conga music, Zombies, Capoeira are all said to be Kongo legacies.

Igboid:



It's a historical fact that the bulk of Yoruba slaves arrived the Americas much later than the Igbos, Kongo, Akans and other Africa groups.

This is a historical fact.

By the way, Mod, isn't this OP violating NL rule, with all those expletives he channeled on my person?

Please, do the needful, or I would be forced to respond to him in kind.

Not true.
Slavery started in the bight of Benin before the Bight of Biafra sef.
You might say the bulk were lade "late" as in like 1700s to late 1800s, but that does not mean there were no early Yoruba slaves. Look at Haiti for example that had an early slave revolution and hence had the input of newcomer slaves cut short early due to independent status, yet there is still Yoruba influence there.

Also, the reason you gave earlier is NOT the reason Yoruba culture survives in the Americas. Why did Fon and Yoruba culture survive in the USA , when they were there under the same conditions as those you claim their cultures were totally removed from them?
That other thread you posted its link here is just a wild generalization.

worwor girl.

The girl no try sha..

Why is the king dressed like a Northern King?

If you ask me......

Na who I go ask o.... Auchi is the only glaring Northern Nigeria proxy in Southern Nigeria.
Look at the names of the respondents sef. Most are purely Northern.

This thing looks more like an hybrid between a graduation / convocation academic gown and the cassock of a church priest than an agbada imo.

It looks sleek and trim, but doesn't have the flamboyant vibe of a proper agbada.
Which is the entire point of wearing an agbada in the first place.

Jerrypolo:


Ta!!!


I refuse to go back and forth with you.

Loool, bury that ostrich head deeeper into the sand.!

Let us pretend and bury the facts jare!

It is a lie! Those corpers weren’t kidnapped, the news sources are fake!

Nobody knows tomorrow

Jerrypolo:



I rebuke you!!!.

Your might be from the South West but trust me, you know nothing about the South South or the Niger Delta.

Where have you heard of militants raping Corp members in Delta or Rivers states?.

Down here we have respect for education and the educated. We treat corp members with the respect they deserve.

I usually don't give into these types of appetite but I am forced to say, I do hear people talk about a** licking Yoruba Muslims. I think you are one.

Living in denial. Google news is your friend- you have a brain, working eyes and an active internet connection, USE IT.

And your reply is a typical example of the Myopic Tribal level reasoning I am still talking about.
Nigeria is bleeped up because of lilly brained tribal champions like YOU.

The way we make importance of trival issues in this new age of social media rubbish is worrisome.

A random corp member from the north makes a post on Facebook and, some other people with the exact same mentality are blowing an ant hill into Olumo rock just to score cheap tribal points. It is quite sad.

What of all the countless negative things Southerners say about the North and Northerners? And all the uncouth name they call Hausas and other tribes in the North?

I am a southerner too, but noobody holy pass.
Lets stop the sentimental reasoning!

Guyman02:
At least no Youth Corper has been murdered in the south by a mob supporters of a serving president from the North

Stop that!

What of corp members serving in parts of the Niger Delta that have gotten kidnapped, raped or killed by militants, cultists or just ranpaging youth?
Honestly, outside of war-zones in the North- security for corpers in places like Sokoto or Kebbi is far greater than security in Rivers or Delta.

If you REALLY know Nogeria, you will have to agree with me.

cyrilamx:
Yet Bini art because of it worth became the symbol of festac in Nigeria. Why didn't organisers see the so called Ife art?

Pls try to be smart when posting.

FESTAC was a black African festival of arts and culture that took place only 2 times. The first and maiden event took place in Dakar, Senegal in 1966.

Nigeria hosted it just once (1977) and of course, it had to have a theme image- similar to mascots of sports events today- and the benin ivory mask was chosen as that years’ mascot.

FESTAC ended and is no more celebrated, but any Nigerian art of reputable standard could have been chosen to be the official face of FESTAC if Nigeria had gotten more chances to host the event, or even back then in ‘77.

If The Nigerian Olympic team of 2020 decides to wear Agbada with green Gele to the parade of Nations repping Naija for that year’s event, does that mean Yoruba clothing is superior to the traditional clothing of all other groups within the country?

Stop living a life of delusion.

flyover30:
we are discussing.even if ur facts are more accurate more than mine,it shouldn't give room for insult.come on.

Okay but did I insult you?

flyover30:
read history, the binis are superior. am telling u.can't dig facts right now,in d office on Sunday.imagine.

And where do you think I am?

I am serving you example hot hot of Yoruba influence on Edo and what can you give me?

Referring me elsewhere to go and research. Research what exactly?

flyover30:
read history, the binis are superior. am telling u.can't dig facts right now,in d office on Sunday.imagine.

You keep typing rubbish.

Superior in what na?

I asked the other guy or was it you to give three examples and I am yet to see anything.

Ife art predates Edo art.

Let’s start from that.

flyover30:
if u say so,no problem. but I do know DAT Bini culture and tradition is far superior to DAT of the yoruba

lool elaborate more abeg.
Those so called bini gods are from Yorubaland. Ogun was an Ekiti warrior who founded Ire. Sango/Isango was an Oyo man. Esu, Ifa, Orunmila, Olokun etcc all Yoruba.

You people even call sacrifice Ebo.
There are so many Yoruba words in edo language as well. Do not think the Binis have some kind of monopoly of influence.

Iyan (pounded yam), Ogban (30), Aga (Chair), Gedu (Timber), Ewu (Blouse/clothing top), Iyi (Honor), Agan (Barren), Bata (Shoe), Ishana (Matchstick), Oko (Canoe), Ologbo (Cat), Elubo (Flour), Ago (Camp), Abe (Blade/Razor), Agbo (Ram), Adugbo (which ypu people call “Edogbo”)-Neighborhood, Pataki/Kpataki (Important). Etc etc. Too numerous to enumerate here.

There are also towns in Edo with their origin in IFE. Go and do your research well and come back.

Lets us look at Nigeria right now... give 3 examples of how so called bini culture is superior to yoruba culture like you say.

Waiting....

flyover30:
what about the gods they serve.any difference?

You mean the Yoruba gods being worshiped by Edos?

So her work na “Lagos big girl” ?

Blackfyre:



You are dodging my question.

There was no royalty before King Ado, not even a palace. The birth of the royalty of Lagos Island was from King Ado and since he conquered the place and name it Eko, makes all who succeed him his descendants. I also know that deceased Lagos Kings were sent to Benin to be buried and paid royalty to Benin but that stopped after sometime.

Now since its the royal families that owns the land and are the authority over the land, doesn't that mean Benin are by the conquest and Ado, owners of Lagos?

Wrong.

There were ruling families before Ado. Today, they are the white cap chiefs (Idejo)- and remain the real power brokers of Lagos island.

Research them and you’ll see.

flyover30:
make una rest.I do know DAT Bini and Yoruba have a strong connection. but I believe Bini is senior. eti_osa local govt is s Benin name.eko is Benin name.ajayi name is both Yoruba and Edo.they serve the same gods Ogun oronmila sango etc.olakpa is police,ologbo is cat, child is Omo.so relax.but obakhatokpere iseeeeeee

So Ajayi is now both Yoruba and Edo name abi Yoruba mame that entered Edo history and existence together with a lot of others.

Who told you that the Eti-osa in Lagos has anything to do with the Edo name Etinosa?
The Yoruba pronunciatipn of Èkó isn’t even the same as the Ędo pronunciation which has a different tone all together and starts with a Ę rather than an E

Don’t worry Lagos schools will soon begin Yoruba language classes so that people can know the meanings of some of these words they see everyday around Lagos.

lol

Another thread of self delusion

Yoruba is FOREVER intertwined with the very existence of Lagos. From Sangotedo to Mowe-Ibafo, from Ajido and Badagry to Epe and Ode Omi

I don't even understand.

What are they talking about exactly?
