MIL? - now she's taken, unless she wants to place away games at yours. lipsrsealed

We're somewhat the same but I prefer chics that're book-smart and also somewhat street-smart. With that, relations won't be that difficult. Also, personally, I like keeping it real with and telling them my background, so as not to let them get carried by believing the dapper guy they see is 100% me. I'm a compilation of so many things. Product of my environment. And regardless of whatever status I get to in life or my achievement(s), I know certain influences will never go away - hence they have to be able to live with the aspect if it pops up. So whenever they catch me messing with zoot and getting spiritual, all they can do advice/help me to stop. grin

Yes, I like ya outlook on marriage - I share the same outlook as well. But it's difficult to find a decent chic that'll just have kids for you without you putting a ring on it. That's the price you have to pay for the ultimate prize. Unless you want a chicken-head that's looking for an eighteen years meal ticket.

Where candy at? The doozy tupacshakur wanna say wagwan. lipsrsealed

That's my Nigger!

I just logged on to the tripe and I had to shut her up before she and the other chic take it too far and make me mad.

Even if you're trying to joke, you can't be doing that on that thread. A scammer is being exposed and all those chasing him are also scammers. Just leave the scam thing alone and let them do their thing. But don't drag me into what has nothing to do with me.

I'm bless, brothers. Back to regular programming.

[size=16pt]A Brief History of Ogbomosoland[/size]

Ogbomoso in 1891 was a walled city, the gates of which were closely watched by day and securely closed by night. There was little or no communication between it and Oyo and Ilorin which were only thirty miles to the north and south. The town, pictureque and well watered was isolated from the rest of the Yoruba towns. Political relations were maintained with the Ibadans, for the country depended on its security on the warriors of Ogbomoso and Ikirun... The strength of Ogbomoso lay in the wall and moat surrounding the town, and the warriors made full use of it by sitting close and tight.. - Rev. S. G. Pinnock was pioneer Baptist Missionary who recorded his travel in The Romance of Missions in Nigeria
A BRIEF HISTORY OF OGBOMOSO

Ogunlola was of Ibariba descent. He came to the area now known as Ogbomoso in pursuit of his hunting profession. He stayed under ajagbon tree (still by the side of the palace) and used the branches for hanging gears. The whole place was at this time (around the middle of the seventeenth century), a dense jungle. He Ogunlola was an expert archer and brave hunter. Later he and his wife, Esuu, built their hut by the side of the ajagbon tree.
Ogunlola noticed smoke oozing from some nearby locations. He took courage and approached these places and discovered other hunters. The first one named Aale at a site now called Oke-Elerin quarters, the second called Onsile at the site now known as Ijeru quarters, the third Orisatolu at Isapa quarters and the fourth Akande quarters. The descendants of the first three of these hunters are still today the Bales of Oke-elerin, Ijeru and Isapa quarters respectively. There is no more Bale Akandie.
Lorungbekun was a very fierce man. Esuu feared what might be her fate whenever she offended her husband; particularly when there was no one near their hut to act as check on him. She therefore designed a mound near the hut and by consensus they decided that whenever Ogunlola wanted to beat up Esuu, if she could escape and embrace the mound, whatever the nature of the offence, he must spare her.
This mound is named Lorungbekun (Olorun-gbo-Ekun) and is still within the Abata enclosure in the palace. The term of the agreement is
Egbe Alongo (Alongo Society)

Ogunlola, after the discovery of these hunters, took the initiative to invite them to form the Alongo Society. The Primary objectives of the society were:
Defence against Sunmoni (slave prowler) raids
Group hunting of wild animals, and
Mutual assistance.
At the take off of the society. Ogunlola was, made the chairman. After each day’s hunting, they retired to Ogunlola’s hut where they were treated to beans and other meals and were served with sekete wine brewed by Ogunlola’s wife from fermented guinea corn. They also engaged in discussing current affairs and planning.
Later, other settlers came and built their thus and huts formed the nucleus of a small village. Ogunlola‘s hut became the place for setting disputes and other matters. He, Ogulola had the final say. The groups of huts being on the north-south highway from Oyo-ile became popular as aroje (a place to stop for refreshment and other ‘knick-knack’ by travellers.
ORISAPOPO

Esuu, the wife of Ogunlola introduced the worship of Orisapopon to Ogbomoso. This object of worship is the same as Orisala and is worshipped in different towns under different names. The worshippers are distinguished by white beads worn round their necks and wearing only white dresses. Drinking of palmwine is forbidden to them. The mane orisapopo was probably derived from the fact that Ogunlola’s hut was on the north-south route therefore the Orisala being worshipped in the hut was name “Orisapopo” (idol by the highway). The importance and influence of ‘Orisapopo’ among the citizens of Ogbomoso is immense. It can be described as the patron “Orisa” of Ogbomoso.
HOW OGUNLOLA’S SETTLLEMENT BECAME OGBOMOSO AND OGUNLOLA BECAME SOUN

During the time the Ibaribas under the leadership of Elemoso attacked Oyo-Ile near Ilorin, Ogunlola was already in detention there, awaiting trial for an alleged offence. Elemooso caused a devastating havoc among Oyo’s so much that they feared him in battle. Elemoso consequently laid total siege on Oyo causing famine and untold hardship among the people. Ogunlola therefore, told the Alaafin that if he could be released, he would kill Elemoso. This was granted and Ogunlola was shown where
Ogunlola after studying Elemaso’s tactics took proper aim and shot him down from his hiding place Ogunlola quickly beheaded him and brought the severed head to the Alaafin. Elemeso’s army was therefore routed.
Alaafin was so impressed by Ogunlola’s prowess that he, the Alaafin, requested him to stay in the capital Oyo-Ile instead of returning to his settlement. Ogunlola politely declined saying “Ejeki a ma se ohun” meaning let me stay yonder” His majesty, the Alaafin, granted Ogunlola’s wish to return to his settlement.
Later, travellers passing to and fro, used to refer to the settlement as of him who beheaded Elemaso meaning “ido eni ti o gb’Elemoso”. This was later contracted to Ogbomoso and finally to Ogbomoso.
Eventually the authority of Ogunlola became greater and more respected. He was consequently made the head of the settlement under the title of Sohun to reflect his request from the Alaafin, ‘let me stay yonder’. His compound by the Ajagbon tree then became the Soun’s palace and a rallying point for all Ogbomoso citizens.
Ogbomoso, because of her strategic location, quickly grew from a village status to a medium size town. Her people were also renown warriors. During the Fulani wars of the 19th century many towns and villages, about 147, were deserted while their people took refuge in Ogbomoso. The influx of people further enhanced the size and strength of the town.

[size=15pt]Oyo, Labour Leaders Agree on Staggering Salary Payment[/size]


Oyo State Government and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), including the Joint Negotiating Council (JNC) have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to allow staggering payment of salaries and allowances to workers in the state.

In the MoU which was signed by the Head of Service, Soji Eniade, who led government delegation, the NLC chairman, Comrade Waheed Olojede and chairman JNC, Comrade E.O. Ogundiran and made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Tuesday, it was said that staggering payment was adopted in line with the statutory responsibilities of government taking into consideration, other segments of the society.

In view of the limited resources, the state government had proposed a percentage reduction in all expenditures, including salary and salary related but this was rejected by the labour leaders who suggested staggering salary payment pending improvement in government revenue.

The parties also agreed that government would concede 90 per cent of the monthly recurrent revenue receipt from the federation account and Value Added Tax (VAT) for the payment of salaries while 10 per cent balance available from the allocation would be utilized to augment other over- head cost, including running cost.

According to the MoU, the mode of payment would be subjected to review as soon as the resources of the state government improve.

It added that all due deductions would be released at every batch of payment of workers’ salaries while whatever arrears that might be accruing would be attended to when the finances of the state could accommodate such.
