Boda mi, e nle oo, o to ijo meta.

Ase si gbogbo adura yen, mo fi owo e boju.

Those religions dey kill Africa as much as IMF.

Obatala liked shayo (Palm Wine), it contributed to his loss of his position to Oduduwa and his eventual defeat and exile.

In his orginal oriki a line says 'Oba akorin mutin'

It was bad that he was taunted with palm wine on his way to Mokuro during his exile. While Obameri (Oduduwa's general) was enforcing the exile by marching Baba out, Obameri and his troops poured palm wine on the floor marking a line behind Obatala when he stepped out of Igbo Itapa axis towards Moore.

Upon being appeased to return, water was/gets poured on the spot palm wine was poured for him to walk over back into Ife.

The part struck out are mere BS.

Ife history was subjected to the indirect battle between the Christians and Muslims who felt the need to validate their choice of religion by bringing their ancestors into it.

The emboldened:

Every Ooni goes to Oke Ora to crowned. Oke Ora had a settlement, one of the 13 hamlets of Ife from whence Oduduwa came. Every festival procession in Ife is basically a re-enactment of an actual historical occurrence. Hence, every Ooni's journey to Oke Ora to be crowned is just a mere re-enactment of how Oduduwa left his hamlet to usurp power from Obatala.

The rituals/dances/chants done in a circular motion around sacrificial and other materials on the hill by the Ooni elect and Oduduwa devotees are/were the procedures Oduduwa did before his band and him entered Ife in grandstyle and pomp with the crown so as to claim King.

Before this period, Oduduwa (Ooni) with Obameri and his other supporters and Obatala (Oloja Iranje) with Orisa Ijugbe (Obalejugbe), Oluorogbo (Obalase), OrisaIkire, OrisaOko etc would have met and supposed to act a wrestle where Obatala will lose the Ade Are which is then taken back to Oke Ora. With Oramfe, Orunmila (Araba) and even Oluorogbo (Obalase) acting as peace committee between both parties.

The wearing of the Ade at the hill and the grand entrance from Oke Ora by the Ooni depicts Oduduwa laying claim to and consolidating his Kingship status.

It has nothing to do with flood, Noah, Jews, Arafat, Mecca, Muhammed, Jesus.

Ife existed thousands of years before Abraham.

[b]Blaine Harden is a total idiot. His assertion demonstrates his lack of knowledge and understanding of Yoruba history. In fact the secession that the Igbos embarked upon only in the 1960s was attempted by the Yorubas in the 18th century. Following the annexation of the buffer Nupe Kingdom by Uthman dan Fodio, Oyo-Ile, the administrative headquarters of Yorubaland, at that time, was overran but not annexed thanks to the joint efforts of indigenous soldiers from other parts of Yoruba land (the Ibadans, Ijebus, Egbas, Ondos, Ijeshas, Ekitis, etc.) who collaborated with the Oyo soldiers to push back the Fulani invaders. An aftermath of this is that whilst the Oyo hegemony was dealt a mortal blow, zonal armies (Ijebus, Egbas, Ibadans Owos, etc) became strengthened. Conscious of the weakening of the Oyo hegemony, the other Yoruba city-states broke free of Oyo dominance, and subsequently became embroiled in a series of internecine wars which ultimately fuelled the trans-Atlantic slave trade that witnessed millions of Yorubas forcibly ferried across to the Americas (especially Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Venezuela, etc.) where elements of Yoruba culture and traditions (arts, music and dance) as well as religions (Sango, Ifa, Obatala, etc) still persist. Conscious of the fact that it is peaceful resolution and not violent conflict that resolves disputes, the Yoruba people have learnt their lessons. They may deploy 'shakara' (empty threats) but never, as a people, resort to violence.

What I explained here, I learned in primary school and I am thoroughly ashamed of the fact that Nigerian history is no longer mandatory in our schools. Compulsory civic studies (in the 1970s) didn't stop my generation from becoming world class surgeons, accountants, financial analysts, scientists and professors in various disciplines. And I feel really sorry for this generation and future generations of Nigerians for being denied knowledge and understanding of their culture. Sociologists and anthropologists in the house would agree with me that formal education is an avenue for socialisation and enculturation. The Nigerian society is currently failing to enculture its own. Any wonder an ill-educated American would publish rubbish about our motherland and certificated but uneducated, uncultured and un-liberated Nigerians would rush to defend rather than lambaste the imperialist and Orientalist. Most importantly rather than join forces to 'fight' the idiot, the matter has become a source of tribal mudslinging. Any wonder, foreigners are entering our country to plunder our resources whilst we're busy engaging in inter-tribal verbal war. [/b]

The issue of net can only be use for a very small farm. When u talk of covering a land mass of a hectare (about 15 plots) with net no be joke. That will eat up your profit fot the next 2 planting seasons.
For birds control, we tried out a repellent last season that work well. Will be introducing it to farmers soonest.
Keep your fingers cross.

WONDER SHALL NEVER END!
Ironsi and Kaduna Nzeogwu/Ifeajuna cause problems in Nigeria.
The only casualty from igbo side was Col. Arthur Unegbe, and it happened as a result of his closeness to Brig. Maimalari (one of the victims of that unfortunate coup) -- he was shot and killed to avoid him raising the alarm after Maimalari's was killed.
If Zik is not around(according to he was informed about the coup),what of Michael Opkara? Dr Orizu Nwafor?
The British have look for a loyalist who will keep Nigeria under their nose.Their errors send us back to slavery.Today they will ever thrust Hause(people we refer as illiterate).
Ironsi need only two bullets to correct the error then,1 for Michael Opkara and the other for Orizu Nwafor.
Everybody would rest without suspecting!
