Lols at Factory Worker. O o serious.

Abegi, let me concentrate on the football match jarey. Our MD organized a tournament, MD's Cup. The first in the history of NA-PHD.

Have a blessed day Bro.

O da, factory worker.

Please concentrate o and don't be thinking of filing application at other factory o.

Sorry, but that is not true. The Muslims opposed the establishment of Bowen University in Iwo initially.

superstar1:


Madam, it is my home town.

Baptist's teaching training centre has been on that site for decades before it was converted to Bowen university. It was not a newly acquired land.

I know the role the King played in getting all to contribute towards the development of the school, through the various town associations.

LWKMD @ Bottomless pit!

That pit has put a lot of Niggers out there in deep $hit!

The stupefying power of that pit is undoubtedly inestimable.

I think people still vibed to it and I don't think it wouldn't have been bigger in any other year than it is now anyways.

DollyParton1:


Though born and raised in Egbaland, it is safe to say I am from Iwo. And I am baptist. I know of the Baptist Teacher training college.
I can categorically tell you that the establishment of Bowen University met some opposition at its initial stage. And yea the King played an important role. He is the reason why there is Bowen University in Iwo because he supported from the beginning. Nigerian Baptist Convention was beginning to look for alternative location for the Uni

[size=15pt]Yoruba oral history is scientific after all! – Yale University[/size]


The progenitor of the Yoruba race, the warrior king, the mystic creator, the man turned god. Oduduwa. This is what custodians of Yoruba history will tell you. From Oduduwa descended every Yoruba living today. Deep probing will reveal that there was an indigenous population in place before Oduduwa arrived, it will also reveal that within a generation or two afterwards Oduduwa had produced heirs from almost every community, and these princes ruled and had their own heirs. And on and on until every present day Yoruba town has a genetic claim to the great Yoruba deity.

Joseph Chang, a statistician at Yale University published a paper in 1999 that came up with this model.


Yes, me too! I don’t understand it at all either…

But what Chang is saying is, within a specific community (for example Yoruba ), “all individuals who have any descendants among the present-day individuals are actually ancestors of all present-day individuals.” Meaning the fact that Oduduwa has just ONE descendant (Alaafin of Oyo, Onisabe of Sabe etc) among modern day Yoruba’s proves that ALL Yoruba are his descendants. That’s what that diagram is saying!

Using a European example Steven Olson a journalist said in his 2002 article “In other words, all Europeans alive today have among their ancestors the same man or woman who lived around 1400. ” Doesn’t that completely tie in with our oral history that says Oduduwa of the 10th or 11th Century is the common ancestor of up to 50 million people (maybe more) of Yoruba descent today? Amazing!

My Aborisha brothers and sisters won’t be too impressed by all these exclamations..It’s like saying the science of Ifa and the oral tradition was in question before Chang came up with his mathematic oracle…. But , it’s good to see orthodox science confirming what our traditionalists always knew.

For those of us who have no stomach for quadratic equations and Almighty Formulas , the beautiful and mystical Yoruba creation story “Oduduwa -The Story” is available in enchanting verse spoken to very spiritual sounds here.

For the children and the young at heart, this lovely illustrated Kindle book ” Oduduwa” provides the oral history and the creation story.

As usual, we wait till the whiteman or whiteman's institution tells us whatever we have is right before we take it to be right.

Didn't the Ibadan school of history bring the relevance of oral tradition to the fore as a solid source for history writing?

I'm unshaken and uninterested in this post really.

Eeyah! Inu 9jacrip o dun si ele yi oo.

But can you educate us more on this?

This is the first time I'm seeing this

Yes. But this era is crazy - only tunes for strippers and calling women out for their BS are winning.

And the ironic thing about it is that: women are the ones supporting these tunes cos women make tunes become hit songs.

Shyte, the first time I heard Chris Brown's "Loyal" it was a chic that brought me in. Ditto a lot of other tunes calling women out.

Wale made a tune that should've been top-10 tunes this year called "Matrimony" (definitely my top-5 bangers this year) and the tune never really got that many hits. That just exemplifies this era.

zimoni:


Omo Yeye Miiiii. You are right, oro lo so.

Let me tell you a secret, no tell anyone oooo. Having been to various Londons(walahi, I've lost count), I was afraid of settling down. I have seen many, I have seen Oloshos who are Ushers(according to Olamide lols).

I was confused and praying to God to provide that decent woman, lo and behold God answered my prayer. My Sisi wey I wan marry is an untouched(trust me na, I don confirm am). She's even from our town. I wasn't looking for an untouched oooo, I was only looking for a decent woman with a decent factory. I have visited various factories, I can't marry a dilapidated factory laye. Hopefully next year, I should settle down. I don dey old ooo lols.

Oyinlola owed secondary and primary school teachers salaries. He fired certain teachers, saying the subject they are teaching is irrelevant (e.g Yoruba language) , came up with stupid policies. I don't know about the universities in Osun state though, but the primary and secondary schools were not well taken care of.
Don't even talk about the health sector. That guy finished Osun state.
Oyinlola is to Osun state, as Gbenga Daniel is to Ogun state.

Shymm3x:


But that's our reality in today's world - sad but the truth.

If the white man doesn't cosign us, how will folks think we're doing the right thing?

There are over 100 million folks worldwide practising Yoruba religions, but how many Yorubas care about the Yoruba religions?

You just have to let those who value what we have, who aren't black, keep spreading the message.

I'm not saying your woman might have played on you o, but trust me, these females can't be trusted.

Ever heard of Hymenorrhaphy and vaginal rejuvenation? Advanced, gynaecological ones dey, local ones sef dey.

You go fucck toto finish, see blood, thinking you have deflowered her, meanwhile, she don reconstruct and renovate the toto for you.

Nope. Its ok. I am contented with the money, fame and connection that comes with being one of his numerous wives.

As for the young blood, one word:- Gigolos (emphasis on the s)

I didn't know you were coming from this angle, it flew past my head for a minute.

Hip-hop to me in this era is utter BS. You either make stripper music/booty clapping song or you make the Future type of 'rap' music. Funny how pill popping and codeine sipping can create a sub-genre under Hip-Hop .

These chicks promote misogynist songs and when males begin to treat them as such, they begin to brandish feminism.

I don't even bother about the artists of this era asides Wale, Kendrick and J. cole.

Thank God for Tical's 'Meth Lab' and Redman's new work. I mostly listen to works from way back, the 90s.

Just yesterday, I DL'd Eric Sermon's 'Erick Sermon's Perception'. Straight hip-hop.

I feel like I'm going off the thread's theme.

Hmmmmn 9jacrip/Shymm3x true talk!

But what can we do about the issue of waiting for reds to cosign us?

We Yorubas especially

What steps do we need to take?

I once suggested the idea of making Yoruba history compulsory in South-west schools
