Nle o omo oodua. .. Awon aalale ile Yoruba a gbewa o, edumare a siju anu WO wa o. Seeing some names on this Yoruba thread really surprise me....

Firefire , modath, coolitempa etc ...


Amin, mogbe ito amin mi... smiley

Don't be surprised, I am an out, loud & proud defender of the Yoruba tribe (according to my work friend) & who wouldn't be proud to be of a tribe whose culture is not only rich, it spans beyond the enclave of West Africa..

We are not perfect beings but we don't court drama, we are cool people, sociable,fun & above all respectful & dignified...

No one is going to blow our trumpets, we gat to loud it ourselves!!!

Lagos and Ogun States are Giants.

We also have big guys Oyo and Ondo States(they can take care of themselves to certain extent).

Then we have Small Guys, the Osun and Ekiti States. These two states give me concern. We have solid minerals in these two states that we can invest into and earn cool money for the states.

As for the cocoa farming, the solution is rebirth. We need to uproot the old trees and plant new ones. The new hybrid plant yields about 2.5tonnes of cocoa beans in just 3years(actually it's 2.5years).

We need to make the two states work, things are not working in the two states and it saddens my heart that my Dear State(Osun State) is fast becoming an Almajiri State. Too bad for us in Osun State.

Things shall be better. We have low sulphur content gold deposit in huge quantity in my state, it's just that we haven't gotten a serious investor.

We shall get there, God help us.

Nice one.

This is ilesa,Osun state

Rev. Williams Howard Clark in 1854, once said ”for its cleanliness, regularity in breath and width, and the straightness of its streets, the ancient city far surpasses any native town I have seen in black Africa”. Ilesa is a well-planned ancient city that has link routes that no town of its size can lay claim to in Yoruba land."

I am really worried about the state of education in the sw,tho i knw its a national thing.It hurts seeing kids playing ps2 wen dey are supposed to be in school.
I have a cousin who is in pry 5,yet it wud take her 1hr to read one page,she cant solve pry 4 maths,yet she comes first in her class.
Without education a nation would fail!.

Do you think it's an after-school effect or lack of qualified educators?

[size=18pt]Africa’s leading women in tech 2015[/size]

Funke Opeke
Funke was born and raised in Nigeria where she obtained a degree in Electronics & electrical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife in 1981 before she proceeded to New York for a Master’s degree at Columbia University.

According to Girls in ICT, following graduation from Columbia, Funke pursued a career in ICT in the United States and successfully ended that phase of her career as an Executive Director with the Wholesale division of Verizon Communications in New York when she decided to return to Nigeria in 2005.

Funke joined MTN Nigeria as Chief Technical Officer, and also served as adviser to Transcorp and Chief Operating Officer of NITEL for a brief period before launching Main Street Technologies in 2007. The company went on to raise $240 Million to build the pioneer private submarine cable system in West Africa – Main One Cable. The 7,000km cable runs from Portugal down to Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria and is delivering wholesale broadband capacity across several countries in West Africa today.

This Is What Women In STEM Look Like Around the World


But female scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians worldwide are breaking barriers and making incredible contributions to their fields despite the odds. Here are just a few women doing so all over the world:

Every year, the Elsevier Foundation recognizes notable women from STEM fields in developing countries. The 2015 awards were given to five women — three of whom were Nigerian physicists: Mojisola Usikalu, Rabia Salihu Sa'id and Mojisola Oluwyemisi Adeniyi.

[size=14pt]6 Emerging Female Entrepreneurs To Watch In Africa[/size]

Imoteda Aladekomo, Heels In The Kitchen

No one expected West African food to emerge as the world’s healthiest when Lancet Global Health’s reviewed of dietary habits from around the globe earlier this summer. Unfortunately, you won’t find much African food on the world stage as other cuisines such as Italian, Chinese and Indian are the go-to choices for international palettes. Cordon Bleu trained chef Imoteda Aladekomo has plans to change that by globalizing African food, starting with her native Nigerian dishes. She wants to use television as a platform to show the richness and diversity in the dishes and make it more accessible to non-Africans. With a show already filmed and plans underway to expand to merchandising, Chef Tomi may become the next biggest cooking star.

Kasope Ladipo-Ajai, Omo Alata Foods

Omo Alata, the Yoruba name for spice seller is a budding food processing company that wants to simplify the way Nigerians cook their food. As a busy wife and computer science graduate Kasope Ladipo-Ajai no longer had the 2-3 hours it took to make a standard stew or soup after facing hours of traffic plus a full workday. Spending time abroad she saw how quick service and prepackaged meals made life easier for busy families, especially working moms. While busy urbanites are having trouble accessing and cooking fresh meals, millions of pounds of produce go to waste during long transit times to urban centers. Kasope and her husband Olatayo founded Omo Alata Foods to provide ready to cook pepper and stew products and tap into the rapidly growing middle class consumer and desire for high quality packaged foods.

The straightness of the streets in Ilesa has no lies about it... From Roundabout North to Ilaje, South to Ayeso & East to Brewery/Omi Asoro is almost a perfect line.... Same if you go to Ijamo,Ibala Rd Etc are almost a perfect straight lines !!! Waoh, surreal.... shocked
