Happy new year the great Metaphysical.

Happy New Year my brother.
May God give you health and joy in this new year, make Asiwaju govt be a source of blessing to all of us, IJN, Amen

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, on Monday said his party, in 2024, will adjust to a new role as Nigeria’s main opposition party.

. Obi don turn comedian

Tell Obi to follow in Dino and Atiku footstep and go and cook in Dubai.

killsmith:

The institution was created by humans like you. Your ancestors abolished previous institutions to create their own institutions. Why restrain yourself from creating new institutions and practicing your own ideas, to practice the ideas of your ancestors? Don't you have right to practice your own ideas? Or Are you slaves?

Prior to Obaship, which system did our ancestors practise? Please teach me.

Sirianese:


Oniru wey be say na government oba sef dey make mouth...democracy oba

Is he not descended from Oniru family? He is occupying seat of his ancestors.

Chicagograduate:
If you stand ænd greet a Yoruba elder without kneeling or bow down your head he will see you as not having a good upbringing.
What has bending down to greet has to do with moral?
In a developed country,a young man will shake hands with and old man and nothing will happen.

We do not have one language across humanity. There is no one universal culture across the world either. Prostration or kneel or bow is Yoruba culture. Handshake is western culture, each to its own.

Nobody criticizes Chinese for bowing to elders and seniors, or Tibetans prostrating to their priests.

Our prostration and kneel in Yorubaland is a honor to a creed popularly known as Omoluabi. We will never depart from it, however much you european-centric voices wail.

Chicagograduate:
Those obas are appointed by the governor.They are political obas.

There is no traditional stool in Nigeria that sits without endorsement and approval of a state governor. It has been so since 1861 after the Treaty of Lagos was signed.

It is a legacy of the colonial government, our unitary system of governance has entrenched it and forbids dissent.

killsmith:

You cannot answer that question without looking like a fool.
If I prostrate for you and still Bleep your wife behind you, do I respect you? Answer the question Mr ronu.

Oba is an institution, the person at the throne is human.

I don't know about Iboland, but in Yorubaland we prostrate to the sacred institution, not the personality.

You can dishonor the person, but you must not dishonor the throne.

Ordinarily, in a social gathering Olamide should not be in personal with an Oba.

But igbalode don spoil matter....and now some Oba are mingling and dining with entertainers, sharing pussy with comedians and jokers.

Goodvibes007:

Last time an IPOB made a threat in the SW, he ended up in Kirikiri.

Stop it! That's too heavy.

I thought Iwuanyanwu begged Sanwo and Akiolu to release the Eze. Is he still eating watery beans? . Chei!

When PDP fail in Nigeria, they travel and win in Dubai.

Elose11:
Your brothers in the east are showing us their villages, developed by private individuals, you are here showing us state capitals and Lagos developed by the states and federal govt. Show us your villages jor

Instead of ing heads in East to create industrial revolution, build sea port so you can gain freedom from Yoruba domination, you are busy individually erecting mansions and courtyard to show off. You go wail tire over demolition in Lagos.

In few days Ohanaeze will show up with traditional leaders to beg POWA for mercy and allow these irritants to continue trade in their illegal structures attached to the nuilding

Happy New Year family

By Sunday Akanni

I've been writing about certain tricks players use in getting women to bed. Today, let's examine The Marriage Trick

These players are aware that many ladies are desperate to get married and that they would do anything for it to come to . So, they positioned themselves to make the lady believe they have a long-term purpose and plan for their relationship, and that it will end with marriage. Some of them don't even mind introducing her to their family and friends (and vice versa) just to make her rest assured that they are serious. Then, they employ all manner of tactics to make the lady sleep with them, and he breaks her heart by breaking the relationship afterward.

My Counsel: In this part of the world, society has configured the minds of ladies to feel worried and inadequate if they are not in a serious relationship that will lead to marriage after they a certain stage.

But I want you to know that it is a sin to idolize marriage. When, in your quest for marriage, you go against God's Will, it means you are practicing idolatry, which God hates vehemently. Always that marriage was made for humans; not humans for marriage. In other words, you aren't meant to be inadequate simply because you are not married.

Now, I know it is not enough to just say these things without speaking along the lines of positioning yourself to attract and marry God-fearing men who will wed you without defiling the bed. Thankfully, there are still lots of God-fearing men out there who themselves are honoring God with their bodies. These are men who are submitted to the LORD and are serving God in spirit and in truth. These are the type of men you should associate with. Unlike the "bad boys" out there, a born-again Christian won't regard you as a mere tool for bodily pleasure, but will even contribute to your growth in important areas. Like I've said earlier, a sure way to enjoy your marriage is by marrying a genuine born-again Christian, where the foundation of your home is built on Christ. Such a man, who himself is Christ's bride, will know how to please God by treating you as the queen you are meant to be.

It is not enough to say 'I want a God-fearing man'. You must be a God-fearing woman yourself. A born-again Christian will want to marry a child of God like himself, and won't go for a lady that lives carelessly anyhow and do things contrary to God's Will. Hence, to attract a God-fearing born-again Christian man, you must be a genuine child of God too. It is true that God won't give any of His true sons to just any kind of lady that will ruin his sonship. Hence, after committing your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you must also be committed to living a life devoid of sin and iniquity, focusing on serving God in spirit and in truth. I can assure you that, God knows how He will connect you with a responsible God-fearing man who will ensure you have a joyful marriage

You reading this right now may be worried that you are getting older and still single (and seeing many of your mates are already married). But, never compromise your purity stance. God is about to do something great in your life if you will continue holding to His Word. Perhaps you keep coming across guys who dumped you because you won't allow them to mess with your body, and you are almost fed up. Well, actually, you are facing those things because the devil already sensed your greatness, and he is doing all he can to hinder you from being the great woman God has destined you to be.

Finally, to get a God-fearing guy easily, then you should constantly be around where they can easily notice you. Imagine a lady saying she wants a God-fearing man, but is always clubbing and partying. Get closer to God, be busy with God's works, attend church services, dress responsibly, etc.

OP, get sense!
There is no plot or scheme a man will not pull just to enter between a woman's thighs, including promises bigger than marriage.

Ralph Tresvant sang and said "I'll give you the sun, the moon and the stars that sorround us", as if he owned them. Immediately,....women started taking off their pants and offering them to him.

Get sense my brother. You hear me?

I dont know who the Angels in heaven are, but what if they were Ibos?

Im not sure Reno will even smell heaven.

The picture of igbo women was of the 1800s

The one of Yoruba women was of 1920s


Yorubas are known liars and propagandists



This is the picture of igbo women in the 1920s. Wearing akwaete clothes

The women in that picture are not Ibo at all. The wrappers, clothing style, adornments and cultural symbol on those women is authentically of the following roots -

Ikale
Edo
Ekiti
Ondo
Akoko


Stop claiming other people culture and fraudulently calling them Ibo

eepeepook:
Name: Mark Surname: John.

Name: Tony Middle name: Excel Surname: Livingston.

Name: Jennifer Surname: Confidence.

Seriously, where are they from? I we give names from our dialects. Some people have English names but only as first names or preferred ones. Their ‘native names’ dominate all of their official documents. In the given examples, those English names and surnames are their official ones.

Descended from back when visiting portuguese, dutch and british patronized pleasure house on the Oil River coast.

Validated:
Who approved the building plan?
How much was paid to LASG for the approval?
Why is Tinubu's Bourdillon house, which clearly contravened the original Ikoyi masterplan not yet marked for demolition?

People are building without first obtaining approval. The state government had been asleep, failed to enforce laws. Now that they are awake violators are catching hell.

Im proud of the govt.

Iga Obanikoro is in Idu Oluwo (also called Idoluwo). Obanikoro has never resided in Idumota. There is no way he could.

Obanikoro is Akarigbere, but Idumota belonged to Idejo. The Idejo have all become Kings today after their upgrade.

Onikoyi, Elegushi, Onitolo, Onisemo, Onitana...all had their Igas in Idumota.

Between Idumota and Idoluwo there is a separation, called Idushagbe. Idushagbe is the only IDU without an Iga. All other IDUs have an Iga in the domain.

The reason for that is because Awo Opa is kept at Ishagbe. The Ishagbe settlement became known as Idushagbe.

Each IDU is linked by an OJU to the next one. Hence we have Oju Olobun linking Idumota to Iduganran, Oju Olokun linking Iduntafa to Idumagbo, Oju Irowo linked Iduntafa to Iduganran. These are just examples.

The geo-spatial references in Lagos Island are many. I will list just a few here. For those who care to know, they mean a lot.

Enu (as in Enu Owa)
Ita (as in Ita Koseh)
Oke (as in Oke Popo)
Isale (as in Isale Eko)
Oju (as in Oju Olobun)
Idu (as in Iduntafa)

Enu is confluence, or a 4-way stop in a road
Ita is outskirt, or threshold
Oke is upper
Isale is lower
Oju is epicenter
Idu is settlement

The "founding of Lagos" in HRM's statement is a reference to the "Erinjogun Ola" dynasty. This is the dynasty in Iga Iduganran. The succeeding Obas are scions of Eweka in Benin.

The most authentic narration on their ancestry and history was obtained from King Kosoko in his negotiations with British Consul, John Beecroft.

Beecroft was trying to win Kosoko over to the British side and offered him friendship, followed by request for his allegiance to Queen Victoria. The King replied by saying he did not desire friendship with the British, and "my allegiance is to Oba in Benin, he coronates authority to the throne". Benin Court dispatched Chiefs to perform ceremonies and rituals of coronation at Enu Owa in Lagos. Here Kosoko was saying Oba of Lagos was a subject of Oba of Benin. Consequently, King Kosoko was the last Oba to get staff of office from Benin. He lost his war against British and departed on exile to Epe. Ever since, no King of Lagos has received staff of office from Benin. When Dosunmu ceeded Lagos to Beecroft, Benin lost its authority over Lagos for ever. The Oba signed allegiance to Queen Victoria, and received Staff of Office from British officials. Conincidentally, this was the tradition of State Governor's power to give Staff of Office to traditional rulers till today. It's origin is Lagos, 1861.

There is nothing wrong in saying Benin was the origin of Lagos Monarchy. Political correctness and invisible turf wars over influence and dominance has spilled over and threatened cultural and traditional brotherhood that subsisted our common ancestry. This war of competition has resulted in undesirable outcomes and vastly impacted the Binin people and their land. Beginning in 1962 Benin, under heavy influence of the political class had agitated to be separated from Western Nigeria. The separation was completed in 1963, and till today Benin has remained behind in development and social upliftment, stuck in its provincial age. Other provinces it left behind in Western Nigeria have evolved and attained record progress. In this, there is lessons learnt. However, the political separation also empowered some people, including previous Oba of Benin to seek a cultural and ancestral separation as well. To that end, a controversy erupted which was pushed to create a new identity for Benin, independent of its source in Ife, and also to swap dominance and elevate Benin above Ife.

The controversy of origin of the Royals in Iduganran is a parallel and a continuum from the Benin denials of its root in Ife. Ife is father of all of us, from Ghana to Benin and, along with many dispersed nationalities around modern world today.

Oba of Benin was deliberate in making that "founder" statement. He did not believe in the choice of words, hence he struggled to amend it with a clarification and said "maybe part of". By making this claim he has thrown a challenge at historians. Now authorities and academicians will begin to dig for roots that were never before now researched. So in a way, HRM is a social troubleshooter. This is necessary once a while to explore and reveal bonds of commonality amongst the people of Yoruba Commonwealth. It should not be viewed negatively.

I will help give clarifications on some of areas that are either confusing or unknown to commentators and participants on this thread.

In stating that "Benin founded Lagos", I am sure HRM Omo N'Oba means well.

Please, I will beg my Yoruba brothers to adhere to the edicts of Omoluabi.
1. You do not attack your own
2. You do not disrespect or dishonor Ori Ade, it is sacred.
3. HRM is not our mate here in nairaland, he is above all the nonsense we are writing.

Above all, when we insult Omo n' Oba, it rubs off on his brothers - Alaafin, Awujale, Alake, Orangun and so on. Please, let us desist now. I beg my Yoruba brothers. Love Oba of Benin with same quality and ion of love you will show other Obas. He is not an Obi, he is not Eze, he is not Emir or Etsu. He is an Oba.
What does this mean to us? He is Yoruba. He is our Father, our Priest-King, our Warrior-King, our Sacred King. No more harsh and unkind words to HRM.

Bigkoko:
Did the drug mule mentioned any Haskins & Sells?

Truly, a lot of Nigerians deserve the suffering for been poor, stupid and really wicked to bring retrogression on themselves! How do they dare defend this criminal because he bears same Yoruba or religious affiliations!

For information purpose, no records of personal employment are destroyed so long that company exists. For companies that merged, bought over, such records get ed to the new company. That's all talked about during negotiations.

Hope y'all now know the crook Asiwaju is now blaming a clerk, an unnamed clerk for giving him a different CSU certificate.

Asiwaju Will not rest until he drags down the reputation of a 156 year old institution with his criminality!

If you ask Atiku where he was born he will say Ganye, Nigeria. He will never say Cameroon.

If you ask Buhari where he was born he will say Nigeria, he will never say British Nigeria.

Those who have a settled sense about mainstream ideas know what to do when addressing such things. People that worked and retired at Deloitte Haskins and Sells will tell you they worked for Deloitte. Simple!

The ing company we call pwc today was formerly known as Peat Marwick, Cassleton Elliot. Most people will say Peat Marwick...or just simply pwc, regardless when they worked there. It is mainstream idea. Get with the program.

Deloitte, Haskins and Sells was renamed Deloitte Touche in 1989.

If Tinubu worked for the company prior to 1989, at which time records were still kept in paper files and ledgers, the name of the company he worked for was Deloitte, Haskins and Sells.

Has Hundeyin enquired from Deloitte, Haskins and Sells about Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

joelbooks:
Chicago University replied Atiku subpoena and confirm President Tinubu Graduated from the school.
What next?

Next thing is to subpoena his attendance records.

How many times did he attend classes, and was he late to any lecture? If he was late, Atiku wants to get the number of times such tardiness occured, or times that he was absent from lecture.

Awon were!

Atiku had been defeated by every presidential candidate since 1992. Some of new in House of Representatives were born that year. Atiku no get shame?

00FFT00:
Yoruba tribalism is mostly born out of a misconceived sense of inadequacy. One may be tempted to go so far as to use the term inferiority complex.

I honestly do not see where anyone could reasonably suggest that the Yoruba are inadequate, but there is this seeming lack of self-confidence in the average Yoruba that lends itself to this assumption.

Their grandparents and parents have influenced salacious tales of Igbo domination and greed to this day. , which is why the average uneducated Yoruba still claims that the Igbo went to war because they want to confiscate all the oil deposits for themselves.

This is the false narrative some of them have brainwashed their children with to compensate for their failure to remain competitive, and the result of these evil, malicious, moonlight stories is now with us.

How else would you justify selling your ancestral inheritance to a complete stranger, albeit one who lost everything in a war but bounced back so quickly?.

My Yoruba brothers and sisters, Omo-Ibo are not your problem. They are definitely not your obstacle to whatever you want to achieve for yourselves.

They attend and contribute to your various Yoruba-owned churches. Not only that, they attend your schools, shop in your markets, live in your communities, and yes, they pay your taxes.

What exactly is the difficulty with the people you most intermarry within Nigeria that the mention of Igbo stirs the bile in you?

Politics? We must all understand that politics in Nigeria has no tribe. Politics is the tribe of politicians. They are always united in their exploitation of the rest of us and we the people are the products they trade. Period.

Y'all really need to stop this nonsense and quickly.

Sardauna, Ahmadu Bello voiced same concern shared by Yoruba. Bello instructed his people to deal with Ibo fckup. Akintola issued same concern. Both of them are on record for warning their people about Ibo. Adaka Boro did same with his people in Delta and sought a separation from Ibo. Are you saying they are all wrong ..and Ibo is the only one right?

By the way, everyone of them was murdered by Ibo and you are yet to pay a price for these killings.

Ttipsy:
how many Yoruba pple have contested and were publicly rejected??
Or did anyone stop them from contesting?

Betty Anyanwu, First Lady of Ondonis from Imo State. She tried to contest in her homestate and was rejected. Told blankly to go back and represent Ondo people in NASS.

Bianca Ojukwu wanted to contest for Senator Anambra, was rejected, told to return to her fatherland Enugu and contest.

If your own indigenes are rejected in their region, what chance does Yoruba have contesting in your animal kingdom?

Ttipsy:
and UK prime Minister is India??

Nigeria can never work hence tribalism grows take it or leave it

Apply Nigerian models to Nigerian situations. This is not UK.

The Nigerian model is that every region put its own indigenes in political offices.
