This woman is not a true prophet, or she doesn't know about being unequally yoked with an unbeliever.
What is a prophet of God doing in the house of Ooni? Where traditional rites takes place on a daily. Will she keep excusing herself in matters that requires her to perform some rites as wife of Ooni. All the best to them regardless

NB: Oduduwa did not fall from any sky. It's all fallacy. Oduduwa came from the eastern part of the then yoruba community

Fashola work remains

JAGABAN started the concept, FASHOLA actualized the concept and we expect AMBO to further consolidate, though it's been a teething period for him but I think he will still gather his momentum i.e AMBO

chrisbaba1:
[size=13pt]I am a staunch supporter of APC and an Ogun son, Kemi Adeosun is totally unfit for that position, anyone who follows Ogun holistically will know she is merely a political selection nominated by the state governor, nothing else. And it saddens me because the position she holds will make or break this tenure. The people living in Ogun state can attest to the economic woes of the state, it is non contestable, non of her "economic plans" worked, so if she couldn't help the state, how will she help the country? Productivity is what we need backed up by a productive antecedent, not british english.[/size] who would u hv preferred?

HYPOCRISY is when YORUBA people claim some part of Kwara, Kogi, Lagos as Yoruba land when Igbos claim the Igbo speaking areas of some part of Delta, Rivers and Edo as part of Igbo land, YORUBA'S will start shouting land grabbing, oil thief, is this not hypocrisy at highest level, if Igbo go with only 5 Igbo state and leave the rest of the Igbo land, then Yoruba should leave Lagos, Kwara, Kogi and parts of Ondo ilaje axis alone.

In January 15, 1966 coup, soldiers from every region of the federation (Nzeogwu - Mid-West; Ifeajuna -East; Ademoyega - West; Kpera -North) had staged a coup in which soldiers and politicians from every region of the federation (Akintola: West, Balewa: North, Unegbe: East, Okotie-Eboh: Mid-West) were killed. Their ultimate aim was to install and make Chief Obafemi Awolowo the ruler of the country and quell the 'Operation Wetie' that was ravaging SW region where Lagos, the seat of power, was situated.

Unegbu was the GOC of one of the major army barracks. He was Igbo, and he was also the guy who almost frustrated the first coup of 1966 by refusing to release weapons. For his refusal, the Nzeogwu group killed him.

Recall that soon after Nigeria got independence the Western region was in turmoil, codenamed “wild wild west” characterised by election rigging, thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and other forms of corruption and acts of lawlessness, that occasioned the January 1966 coup, took place as pioneering acts in Nigeria.

Remember, prior to the first coup, by 1963, the plot between Akintola, Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello was perfected and Chief Obafemi Awolowo was arrested for coup plotting/ treason. His trial commenced in earnest and he was alongside some accomplices convicted for treason and jailed for 10 years. This again was the first alleged coup plotting and conviction in Nigerian history. Intent on totally decimating Chief Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola together with vice premier Remi Fani Kayode went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed.  By this time Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe had realised the folly of entering a coalition with Tafawa Balewa’s government   and teamed up with incarcerated Chief Awolowo’s Action group to form the all progressive grand alliance (UPGA).  

When Northern soldiers staged a revenge coup in July 1966, soldiers from one region of the federation and their people (North: Danjuma, Murtala, Martin Adamu etc) singled out soldiers and civillians from one region (East) in the federation as their targets. 


Here are the members of Yoruba tribe that participated in the January 15, 1966 coup:
(See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

*Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is:

*Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18).

*Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’

*There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

Akintola was the Yoruba tool, that Balewa and co were using to subjugate the Yorubas back then. So it should not come as a surprise to you that he was a target. You must really be demented for not seeing that connection. Bola Tinubu is the modern Akintola, but you guys are so myopic to see that.

OfoIgbo:
When Balewa and Sadauna of Sokoto were destroying the Yorubas, Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna came to your aid only for your people to turn against Ndigbo.

If Fulanis come against Ndigbo, we will not go seeking Yoruba help as we have grown to know that Yorubas will never be there for us.

The SOUTHERN RESISTANCE you wrote of, was needed on 28th march 2015, but yet again, Yorubas teamed up with Fulanis.
At the moment, the SS and SE should stick together. Yorubas should fend for themselves, as much as I sympathise with Yorubas in this issue

Vice President Osinbajo was present when Kukah made that statement today at the platform. It has to be legit, Kachikwu was nominated but he'll serve just as Minister Of State Petroleum along with NNPC GMD, so not really a substantive minister.
A state can have two nominees I think, Rivers had Nyesom Wike and Ama Pepple, Jigawa had Ruquayattu Rufai and Nurudeen Mohammed, Delta had NOI and Orubebe.
It is however weird though that both Utomi and Kachikwu come from the same part of Delta.

The South South and South East remains Nigeria's hotbed having produced many successful private sector technocrats in the past like Dr Ngozi Nkonjo Iweala, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, Pat Utomi, Charles Soludo, etc. It is now set to produce the few technocrats in Buhari govt leaving the south west - the only zone that survives on government money - to produce politicians as ministers. South west names likely on buhari list includes Mr fayemi(ekiti state), Mr babtunde fashola(lagos state), prince oyinlola(osun state), and a host of other old and recycled politicians who have no known achievement outside politics.

Though buhari promised to appoint technocrats but this is not possible to find in the south west where the demands from politicians is overbearing on him.

As buhari's ministers await saraki's approval next Tuesday, Nigerians keep their fingers crossed waiting to know the taste of old and new wine mixed and served in old bottle.

Message to All Yoruba People on the
Ownership of Lagos.
By... Edwin Uko Philip
ON THE OWNERSHIP OF LAGOS! Lagos is a
Portuguese name meaning lagoon, the
name became needful when the invaders
saw that the place was similar to the Lagos
in their country, with reference to it
topography.(confirm from the map of
Portugal) Lagos originally called EKO a word
meaning 'war camp' in the Edo language,
showing that the territory was owned and
administered by the Oba of Benin. The
battle for the soul of Lagos began towards
the end of the 19th century and was fully
actualised in the 1900s,
when England abandoned the slave trade
following the industrial revolution. The
overthronment of Oba Akitoye by king
Kosoko and the returned of Akitoye
through the help of Britain and his
subsequent dead, his successor chief
Dosumu lack of strong will to effect the stop
of the slave after it was outlawed, paved
way for the full take over the territory by
the British, as a port town, it serves
England's interest. Typical of all port cities
be it Liver pool or Miami it is bound to be
cosmopolitan, with people everywhere
converging for business.
Of all the people that have ever governed
Lagos non originally is from the place,
Jakande-Kwara, Tinubu-Osun, Fashola-Ekiti,
Ambode-Ondo, Oba of Lagos-Ogun. The
dominance of the Yoruba people in the city
is a matter of proximity and no other, the
word 'EKO' been the original name of the
place has no meaning in the yoruba
language and the nearest in sound to the
word is 'OKO' meaning 'cassava farm' now
if the place was a swamp how then do you
plant cassava there?
Which suggest a missing link, who owns the
place should give the name. The current
native and immigrant war, currently on
going in the city state and targeting at non
Yoruba is a misplaced priority and the
archives should be visited and should be
traced down to the reign of Oba ORHOGBUA
the foremost ruler of the ancient Benin
kingdom,
otherwise the debate will be on ending and
the fight will amount to seating history on it
head.
