Shikena:


Yes if charged to court.

LMAO

Shikena:


Provide proof to you as who exactly?

If you accuse people of doing something they never did, it's up to you to proof so now.
I will take this your reply as "you have no proof".

plaetton:
Trump's tarrifs is like burning your house down because you want to cook some steaks.

Lol.

Trump the tarrif man.

Adexxi:


Bro that how they normally d, once they someone loaded with fact of history more than them,byou will start hearing you are being paid

What if I told them that Alaafin is not even entitled to wear a crown and has no authority make anybody king, we are historians

I find it disrespectful. I hope no one accuses me of being paid sha. They can check my postal history on nairaland if they want. I haven't even commented on here for a while and only chipped in my 2cents to this discussion. I guess freedom of speech is no longer allowed.

Shikena:


Some people are actually paid to keep driving the disunity. We all know there is no consensus on this issue as witnessed under the past kings, why all the back and forth.

Both sides were cautioned by people on this thread and no one was singled out. Read through again if you missed that.

Can you provide that proof that people were actually paid?
When I say singled out, adexx was quoted as one of those paid which is wrong.

Shikena:
He did by inference, there is a reason why they are writing epistles here against each other.

All he did was push back against the first misinformation posted on the page 1. Many posters have also pushed back against that narrative, but you kind of singled Addex out. Someone even accused him of being paid. Haba.

Adexxi:

I also love the truth. Empire goes and another one comes but Oyo people don't want t know that. I was reading one historian book some years back and they they mention about 5 empires that first rule this world. I was so surprised to see Ife empire and Egypt Empire among those empire.

Yes you are right, if not for the white who came earlier, we should have had Ijebu empire after the fall of Oyo empire, because the Ijebus were so powerful then and they were never under Oyo empire. Infact the current Oyo town now is the fourth Oyo, they were ransacked from the previous three but most people don't know this

Yes places outside Nigeria then then one will know who Ooni is really is. There is a village I think in US called ile- Ife . Infact after the the coronation of this present Ooni, when he visited Canada, I watched it on my TV here and he was regarded as African foremost traditional ruler, infact he spoke at the Canadian parliamentary, that's a sign of how respected he is

That would be Oyotunji.

Shikena:
The same applies to Ife. They are all distinct kingdoms and this supremacy fantasy is a mirage. It does not exist. Ife never ever had any authority over Oyo, Ijebu, Iwo etc. Let each king face his domain and stop with long dead fantasies and delusions.

He never said ife had any supremacy over other kingdoms though. The Ijebu had never lost any battle since they were known aside the fight they had with the british . They would surely not bow to anyone. The people that are even most independent are the Egbas, they would never bow to no one too aside their own kings.

lagonovo:
You paid posters need to stop this disrespect. Stop driving unnecessary agenda. Each king is very aware of their domain. Yorubas have totally independent kingdoms with different kings throughout history.

Stop fanning embers of stupid controversies. When you win American football or baseball championship in America, you are called world champions. That is their own thing, feel free to do yours. This endless controversy did not lead anywhere when it was very hot between Oba Adeyemi III and Oba Sijuwade. Stop with this stupidity.

Each of the kingdoms interpret their history in different ways and you can't force yourself on the other.

Live and let live.

That is a disrespectful statement. Tbe person you are accusing of being paid has been ed here since 2017. Why do you think anyone was paid? Where you also paid to post here?
You need to know that not everyone is comfortable with people revising history.

Deepspirituals:
Kings in this Generation is not Chosen by Tradition but by Politi and Personal Interest .

Know this and save yourself of Controversies .

Governors , President are Traditional King Makers today no more Oyo Mesi again

This actual Alaafin was chosen by Professor Wande Abimbola (Former VC of OAU in the 1980s) who also happens to be an Ifa priest.

The oyo mesi was brushed aside after the governor realized that they had been bought with money.

ednut1:

MAGA

Basilico I hail ooo. I know you are already cooking some delicious conspiracy theory to drop on the thread tomorrow.

Oh boy

ugoonuoha:

Rant time!!!
Just got off a call with a government agency and I'm so mad.

UK is very sh#t atm. Not sure it's worth it at this point in time vs 10yrs ago for example. Why?

Home office - massive delays. Simple Visa is taking 3 months plus after paying thousands of pounds.

Housing - almost impossible to get even though you have your cash (not to mention rate is exorbitantly high). You will go for viewing and agent/landlord will start making you fill application form like say na job interview.

Driving Licence - Impossible to book test date. Everything is months in advance, before you start using those apps to bring within 2 to 3 months. Why so stressful?

Health care - to get GP appointment na war. Someone will be filling unwell and GP receptionist will say can you come in two months time? Not to talk of more serious issues like surgeries etc. That wait is years!

In summary,
Taxes high, rent stupidly high, energy bills crazy, Govt services not available. I swear this country is frustrating!!!! This is not a first world experience at all. Others should steer clear.

hustla:


Canada, Australia, New Zealand
PR route

To the gentleman that mentioned Canada. For a minutes I thought OP was actually describing Canada. First world experiences are similar. The listed reasons should not be the reasons why you decide to jump ship.

Canadian experiences below:
- You won't wait months to see a GP (family doctor in Canada). You may wait a few days or weeks sometimes to get an appointment to see your GP. If you walk-in without appointment, one can see a GP after waiting a couple of hours and on specific days of the week, but they won't refer if a specialist is required if he/she is not your GP.

If you were able to get an appointment to see your own GP and you get a referral, it could take another average of 2 months to see a specialist doctor. In addition, getting an elective surgery done could be years away. Some people with money just fly to the USA.

Finally, getting a GP to accept you as a patient can also take months or years (depending on province). So if one has no GP, the patient will have to rely on emergency room doctors to get referrals to a specialist. To see an Emergency room doctor can take 6 hours or more if the patients case is not life threatening. Triage nurses would triage accordingly.

- Calling a government agency in Canada. Good lord - I hope you have atleast 2 hours of your day to spare before they pick up.

- CIC Canada are very notorious for visa issuance, PR and any sort of visa applications. Be ready to wait months, years, and they do not care if you are a student resuming at a specific time. They would take their time. Visit visa can take 6 months to process and student visa can equally be of similar timelines.

- booking a driver's test could be maybe one month to 6 weeks as well. Patience is key.

- Housing. Despite the high rent, It's not uncommon for landlord to conduct credit checks, ask for 3 references including work reference from husband and wife, full month deposit, payslips, employment letters e.t.c before even inviting you for a viewing and there could be 50 other viewing the same apartment or house. Luckily, there are people with cold and damp basements that have less stringent requirements. Don't even try to get on gov subsidized housing except you are ready to wait 2 years and up.

- Taxes. Same same. Very high

shantti:
I think taxes are higher in uk

It would depend on what province in Canada is being compared to the UK.

Below is the take home after tax of $100,000 Canadian salary across different Canadian province.

I have also compared equivalent anount in the UK and Australia.

Lonepair1:
Vancouver!!!!!! .. the most liveable city in Canada!!

That would be Calgary.

Backpedal:

You really think Africans in large numbers in Africa can build anything?

Lmao .

Ordinary power issue, Nigeria can't fix. There is no comparison at all.

Lexusgs430:



Not all òyìnbó's get money ........ Many of them live below the poverty line ..........

On point. Just like every Nigerian can't afford quick dental health care in Nigeria. If OP had ever visited a non-private dental clinic/hospital in Nigeria, he would realise that a large majority of Nigerians can't afford private care.

Eastlink:
Mark it down. Eguavoen as coach will be the final nail in the coffin for the Super Eagles.

Same Eguavoen that messed up against Italy in the 1994 World Cup second round. I am not expecting much from him. Maybe he would shock us too my bring home a trophy.

I how Roberto Baggio's equalizer goal slipped past his legs and how he finally gave Italy the wining goal penalty.

rollandben:
Wilder really tried in that fight. I taught as such, fury size is another battle itself but you tried Man

Fury is a giant at 6.9 and 277 lbs. He uses that weight well and lands his jabs well.

I would like to see him go against smaller fighters like Ruiz, 6.2 and Usyk, 6.3. It would not be easy to lean on smaller guys

I also want to see him take AJ first as that almost happened if not for Wilder pulling the trilogy and AJ being mandated to fight Usyk after that.

Going to be tough to have all these happen as the winner of Wilder vs Fury has been mandated to take a shot at Dillain Whyte

THEGALADIMA:
Habaaa bro, how you go talk sey Wilder dey cherry pick fights cmon.
He fought Luiz Ortiz for God's sake men.
Even the first two fights with Fury, you can clearly see that the nigga can box.

I think Ortiz and Fury were really his only tough opponents. The others were just bums and mostly unknown journeymen boxers.

Peters1212:
Joshua shouldn't near Fury ooooo..

I think they should fight. Would be the biggest money they will both make in their careers from a fight. Hopefully, AJ can get his belts back to even make the purse bigger.

AJ won't open up to get several punches like wilder opened up after the first round.

SarkinYarki:


Even Fury its wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight out there ...Wilder will beat AJ without a problem

What do you expect him to say before. You have to hype your defeated opponent to feel good or elevate yourself and giving credit to your opponent is also good sportsmanship.

Megatrix:

Both fighters made millions of dollars, we are talking of billions of naira just to fight for 36 minutes with padded hand gloves with time given them to rest after every three minutes. I would love to be a victim of this kind of inhumanity

If you survive the first round

Numerouno94:
Fury was never ur mate. Most people hyping Wilder don't follow boxing, they re jux bunch of bandwagon.

So true.

Bewiseedet:
That was an epic fight and ofcourse you know huge money was involve.

It wasn't that huge. How these guys don't command huge money is strange. Ruiz made $7,000,000 from his first fight with AJ and made $10,000,000 from the 2nd fight. The $10,000,000 is what Fury and Wilder made in their last fight combined.

pajosh:
All you guys calling out AJ for losing should jus think for once .. it is logic .. he has been avoiding to fight fury for years now ..we all know he will loose if he does . That's why he lost to the usyk so that by rematch which he jus triggered, fury fight will be outta d picture or at least delayed.. I think he is trying to improve while waiting on age to tell on fury then he'll strike... because honestly even wilder will KO AJ now.... even in football it not every time that players falls means they are hurt..strategy is very crucial in all sports...my opinion though

He is not avoiding Fury though. He was meant to fight Fury before Wilder triggered the trilogy. I his promoter and AJ got mad as they said Fury's side wasn't sincere during negotiation about a trilogy with wilder. He was madated to fight Usyk when the deal with Fury did not go ahead.

suffering:
Wilder took a lot of punishment in that fight. The battle went back and forth and any man could clinch the victory especially since both decided to throw only power shots after a while.

Real punishment just like his last fight that he almost got killed. Such a careless boxer. He fights like an amateur throwing wild windmill punches and not protecting himself. Despite being always warned by the referee to protect themselves.

His doctor had to come into the ring in one of the rounds. The doctor here aslo talking to him the end of one of the round. Probably telling him to give up. Bloodied ear and mouth.

He should count himself lucky and enjoy his purse money of $5,000,000 from this trilogy.

This clown making up excuses again. If Fury was leaning on you, why did you not use uppercuts. His side shouted uppercuts several times but he wasn't listening. His last coach said he doesn't listen to anyone and has become untrainable.

Putting the cart before the horse.

Don't.
You can still have your BSc or diploma. You never know when it might become useful.
