My own is that Ifeanyi Ubah didn't write this. I sabi am well well.
MODIFIED: I'm listening to Ifeanyi Ubah right now on Channels and just like I stated above, Oga didn't make the above statement.

In as much as the PIA is concerned, I won't say nothing but apportion blame to our so called "REPRESENTATIVES" in the National Assembly who chose avarice and party loyalty over the common good of the people of the Niger Delta Region.

SHAME TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS GRAVE INJUSTICE!

The main reason behind their excitement is that they'd no longer be expecting HND.
Like, the discrimination between university and polytechnic graduates is just crazy.

I just stopped laughing.

Something I'm used to happened today. A guy that I had politely refused last year came to me this morning. He immediately told me he has a job now. Told me the full name of the company and everything else. Then he started asking me aggressively about where I have reached in life and all that.

I chatted normally with him, I told him I was happy for him. Later, he asked if he could call me at a certain time. When I told him he could, he started saying that it was not so before, that before, my anthem was that he cannot reach me for various excuses.

I laughed, because, I now understood the whole issue. He believed it was because of money that I didn't allow him access to me anyhow. I just told him that he shouldn't worry because my phone was bad. He continued to reply in a sour tone. The funny thing is that I have no business with his money, because I am sure that none will land in my palm...so why would i be tripping because he got a job?

Another guy I rejected politely acted normal at the time. But after years he came back, asking me with full spite about my marital status and my job. Lol. He told me how he has a company now. I knew that was true because I had seen evidence of it growing and info about it in public over the years. He insisted that we should be dating now. But it couldn't happen because i knew he was just bitter, and thought that i should fall now because he has made it.

Guys, its not all about the money. Some women don't use your money to survive. Some have parents and don't really care to be bound in chains because of indomie and egg, credit, or sharwama. There are more serious issues. E.g the relationship should be going somewhere. Sometimes its tribal or religious, maybe she knows her parents wont accept you. Why would a woman smell what she won't eat, just because of your feelings?

Guys, take a chill pill.

Lovely piece!

Iya Osun Or yeye of Osogbo (Head of Osun priestesses of Osogbo)�‍♂️

.
Iya Osun in spiritual white dress and with red band taking the spiritual food for the Osun River Deity from the head of Arugba Osun (virgin and holy young girl that carries Osun Bowl) as other iya osun and a man assisting during the annual Osun Osogbo Festival in honor of Osun River Goddess/Deity at Osogbo in Osun State, Nigeria. The spiritual food would be thrown into the Osun River and after that devotees can take the water for various spiritual purposes.

River Osun takes its source from Igede-Ekiti through Ilesha and the grove in Osogbo. The Osun goddess established her kingdom there. Olaguna(1952:16) writes that many centuries ago when Oba larooye of iple omu, olutimeyin, a great hunter and their subjects migrated from ipole omu because of water scarcity they then settle at the Osun groove where the goddess has established her kingdom. One day, as they were preparing the ground for the planting season, a tree fell across the river crushing many of Osun tools of trade.

Worshippers fetch water from the sacred Osun river during the Osun Osogbo festival, or the river goddess festival, in Osogbo, capital of southwest Nigeria's Osun State.

Every August in Osogbo, the festival presents an opportunity for the indigenes of Osogbo, their friends and well-wishers as well as fun-loving tourists to converge in town for the yearly celebration. The festival has gained a global recognition to such an extent that the Osun Grove was enlisted as a world heritage site in 2005. (Xinhua/Zhang Weiyi)
It is recorded that the goddess was at her:

Larooye olutimeyin, you have destroyed all
gbogbo ikoko aro mi my dying pots
le ti fo tan she cried
The spirits within the grove pacified the goddess saying
“oso-igbo pele o, spirit of the forest we plead,
Oso-igbo rora o, spirit of the forest be patient
Larooye and olutimehin were shocked because they don’t know how the goddess got to know their names. She sensed this, and later advised them to move to the upper part of the river called OHUNTOTO to domicile. There oba larooye established another palace as well as a thriving market. One day, olutimehin saw some spirit dancing round a lamp with sixteen receptacles, which he seized through incantation. When the goddess learnt of this, she made olutimehin and larooye promise to celebrates the lightening of the lamp annually, particularly when the grand finale of the osun festival is nine days away.

She gave them a calabash containing antiquities with a warning that the contents must never be exposed to the naked eyes. She also decree that the calabash must be taken to the grove during the festival by a virgin with filials to the reiginig kink, and who must be chosen by the ifa. On the festival day, the Ataoja (king ) sits
on the dedicated stone of authority housed on the osun temple/shrine where he commune with the ancestors. Osun promised that if her instruction is carried out, she could pour a curative substance into the river as soon as she accepts the sacrifices from the Ataoja. Traditions which is becoming increasingly known in scholarly circles reveals that osogho had been founded as early as Oduduwa period. Osogbo, the goddess of Osun river was the queen original founder of Osogbo.
According to Bier (1966:69) there are some heroic roles of historical importance, rendered by Osun goddess especially during the Fulani war of 1842. She was credited with many important achievements, which helped to established the state. She possessed magical powers which inspired her and frightened her enemies. Tradition acclaims her the goddess of fertility, protection and blessing. She possess the ability to give children (through birth) to the barren women and power to heal the sick and the afflicted by means of her medicinal water from the river. Osun according to the Yoruba cosmology, they believe that she is omnipresent and omnipotent. Her power is represented in another Yoruba proverb which reminds us that no one is an enemy to water and therefore, every one has need of and should respect and revere Osun as well as her follower. The relationship between the osun Osoggo festival which has been celebrated for about six hundred centuries.

The Osun Osogbo festival has the early history of the Osogbo people which is founded on mythical powers. The relationship between the people of Osogbo land, the Osun goddess and the festival is that annually the people of Osogbo comes together in the second week of august in worshiping and praising the osun goddess who have been protecting their land. The Osun Osogbo festival which is celebrated in august has manage to survive the rigors of the 21st century and people hail it as one of the most solid festival that celebrates and showcases the traditional African culture.

Interesting!

Can you give me a detailed story pertaining this Osun Osogbo festival? I am currently in Ede South, Osun State for the first time, and someone yesterday was talking about the festival and exactly what was done to the British people who tried to stop it. How true is that? Abeg give me gist.

timilehin007:
french league is not challenging enough for a player of is caliber. England would have been the true test, German league is another consideration or Serie A

What true test? You've already seen what he has done to the big European teams, so do you still need a prophet to tell you what he would do to Wolves and Newcastle

BiggyB242:
lol, River state they try for their people now.

Well, Wike is trying though, but em never try for employment and granting of scholarships. Although he did one for medicine students in Pamo University (Fmr. Gov. Peter Odili's university).

BiggyB242:
I'm telling you, look at River state doing their indigenes well, from scholarship down to job opportunity; they hardly relocate. Delta state nothing to write home about.

Which scholarship be that abeg? Na nursery school own?

AuroraB:
And now

Aren't you toxic?

"...who spoke on condition of anonymity."
Whenever you see the above statement, just take the information supplied with a pinch of salt.

Your qualification does little or nothing in governance. Even if you cannot communicate clearly, just give the people of your state what is due to them and see them worship you.
These ones above, especially "PROFESSOR" Ayade is best know for speaking big grammar up and down with little to show for over 6 years in office and counting. Ikpeazu's case is left for the gods.

FutureIsFemale:
Jesus!

Another reason power should be handed over to women.

The sex of a person isn't a criterion to have COMMON SENSE. If you have no salient point to make, just look away!

GeneralPula:
If one mistakenly hit and kill, is it a murder crime or what?

It would be regarded as manslaughter because it was done devoid of the intention to do so. But you kill someone with ur "koro-koro" eye, na murder be that.

PlayMaker14:
[/b]

These Muslim people are really something else... Now that your nominees are dying one after the other, which is a very sad event, can you guys now allow the Christian nominees get the nod?

The most annoying of it all is that we operate a system where we readily sacrifice competence for religion and ethnicity.

That's the bitter truth. Some persons be like "it had to be based on the senior level". Who say make Ronaldo no win something for junior level? I don't even know if he has any.

It is obvious President Buhari was only focused on defeating Fmr Pres. Jona without having plans for Nigeria. You've got 2 years left and you are still battling with what you claimed you'll end just by snapping your fingers.

My own is that the said Lauretta Onochie sef no get integrity. In saner climes, when there are too many fingers pointing at you, all you need do is to give way! To be INEC COMMISSIONER na do or die?

oyeb15:
Wike has failed too. The insecurity in Rivers is more than Borno State.

So there's something worse than Boko Haram and banditry in Rivers State?
At times, it is more honourable to read some posts and quit commenting than to state the above fallacy. It is so unfortunate that someone above shares this same view with you. So you mean Rivers experiences more tragedy on a daily basis compared to Borno State?

Wike was errand boy to Rotimi Amaechi? How? The same Amaechi that said after God, it was Nyesom Wike that brought him to power when he defeated Celestine Omehia at the Supreme Court?

And the said guys are medical science students as well? If abstinence is that diffcult, wetin happen to condom? Wetin you come dey study health related course when you no fit start with ur health?

Righteousness2:
Racism and all these Black or white talk is not the problem of the world. Afterall we as Blacks insult, Stab and kill ourselves.

Sin is the Problem, Virus and Sickness of the world and JESUS is the cure. Until we know and understand this as the Inhabitants of the world, no matter what is done, these things will continue until thy Kingdom comes.

Do you know the meaning of black? We are not blacks, we are Africans. We display inferiority whenever we use that word.

So many persons are being particular about what this guy said to Jim but fail to see the real picture. Jim is a public figure and in "some" saner climes, he would have tendered a public apology because he did not only make a cheap jibe about the female folks, it was highly derogatory. Na person mama you open mouth call slut ba? Dem never gather beat you before. Go ask the NEPA guy wey try to assault my papa, na congregational beating em collect. Nonsense and ingredient!

iLegendd:
There are four things you shouldn't joke with when it comes to humans and they are

1. Height
2. Size (weight/shape)
3. Complexion
4. Health issues

I beg to disagree with specific reference to height. How come when you say "this guy is tall", it is never perceived to be malicious? But just mistakenly say "this babe/guy is short", boom! You're automatically on the offensive!
Make me understand.

Are you sure this is not connected to the recent PIB? They wanna make it seem like oil currently contributes a little to Nigeria's economy, when it is a no brainier that it is the mainstay of Nigeria's economy. Telecommunication my foot! All this one na for the Niger Deltans to chill since they've be agitating over the 3% stated in the bill.

Nwatachoba1:
Well well well

Look who we have here

English teacher

You just made me laugh!

Generalnomercy:
Useless mad man from the ogogoro drinking region.

I blame Nnamdi kanu for allowing this JIHADIST terrorist called asari, an extraordinary illiterate to be part of the Biafra struggle.

People from that area are always sellouts.

Who be extraordinary illiterate? Asari is a graduate of law oooo. You didn't know that, right?

Reno knows he will be arrested if he ever steps his foot in Nigeria. He's just avoiding the biblical King Herod who sought for a child to kill. And Britain kwa no get head ooo, you let small Kenya extradite abi kinap ur citizen send back to 9ja? Na wa ooo! This reminds me of a story.
My then lecturer told me a story of how in his presence, his wife was arrested in UAE at a pharmacy. The pharmacist alerted the police bcus his wife ate food b4 taking her prescribed medication. She never knew it was their fasting period and so the police was invited.
Moving forward, they asked for their passports and they brandished their American passports instead of their Naija passport abi scratch card. Na so dem release them unconditionally with the speed of light.
What would have happened if they brought out their Naija passport?

OKPANAMboy:
You and who talk that one, oga?

No body should take this boy serious.
I'm from Delta State, and we have different tribes.
We're the Igbo tribe and we're Biafrans.

No one should come and confuse you here.

And who are you to speak on behalf of all Deltans?

Kooldon:
The female gender has more than 85% success rate in this, cos they will be feeding off men

Change this ur mentality fast! There are hardworking ladies out there okay? Just try not to generalise the statement that ladies feed off men. Worse still, is the fact that this is coming from you, a lady.
Maybe you're a guy sha.

ddippset:
Weldone for what exactly?.

Everything amounts to ZERO if Rivers people cannot see and access the correct amount of appropriation and cost of each fly over.

Hunger is killing rivers people
No single employment since 2015
Pensioners are dying
Rivers state with 40 billion revenue cannot pay 30k minimum wage.

Oyigbo to Afam road is one of the worst roads in Nigeria. Less than 1 billion can make that road manageable for an area that produces much of the oil revenue of rivers state but mr governor would rather spend 8 billion for a flyover in Ikwere and Obio Akpor.

And you are looking for "Weldone"


Weldone keee you dia

In as much as you're making sense, joust know that you still won't do anything but complain if Wike decides to toll the path of one Mr Ikpeazu.
