I now believe this site has has been commissioned as an active participant in the programmed miseducation and dumbing down of Nigerians. If that is not so, why is the owner who is assumed to be an intellectual pretending he isn't seeing the obvious tribulations this highly informative and cerebral thread is passing through? Has it become a crime for normal folks to discuss intelligently in an atmosphere devoid of rancour here? Is this site meant to promote only animalistic, pedestrian and moronic thoughts, discussions and ideas? Can't any space be found for intelligent discussions? I've read more gutter words, clichés and sentences on this site than I heard in my entire long stay in diobu and rainbow town ghetto of PH yet those excuses for human beings aren't banned. In fact i still came across some today so what crimes have my people committed here that warrants these bans? This thread is the main reason why some of us still keep up appearances here. Why the hate? 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Aareonakakanfo: 1. Ketu holding a view that Oduduwa was female must have stemmed from the Ifa verses that portray(ed) Odudwa and Obatala as females at certain points in order to explain certain situations. Verses such as these should not be taken literally - the Orikis of both deities tell us a lot we need to know about them, even their sex. 2. No deity was androgynous. There are deities in ese Ifa who were actual humans and there are deities in ese Ifa who were mythical figures. Most people forget Ifa contains mythology and historical facts/pointers. It is like believing the Osun in Odu Ose Tura was the Osun who married Sango. 3. Mounted means 'eegun' in Yoruba. It does not necessarily mean by male or female spirit. Eegun/mounting is basically a trance or possession were Orisa speaks through someone or more than one person. Or do we say males get 'mounted' by male spirits too? 4. Gender in Yoruba system is not fluid. This is observable in the roles played by women in Orisa system and during festivals. Do I need to mention Oro, Egungun and other numerous festivals were women play only 'assist' roles. Gender and gender roles are boldly spelt out rigidly. 5. Yemoja is a female deity. The chiefpriest(s) braid their hair which flows down their backs. Does this mean they have assumed a gender 'role' due to the circumstance of being a female deity's priest? I think not. 6. Yes, both were/are and roles for both sides are spelt out and adhered to. No one slips into the role of the other. 7. I've never heard of a female Alaafin in Oyo's history not to mention Orompoto being a female who assumed the male gender. I'll attach a snap shot from Samuel Johnson's work and maybe our Ogas will further research the names mentioned in the chapter to see if anything comes up about Orompoto's gender.

InterloperX5: Yes, new money is needed but why does it have to be govt money? Create enabling laws within a particular area that promote industry and lower the barriers to entry for new businesses or participants, invite investors to participate in that area and offer them like 10-years tax holiday, so they can recoup their money! Wasn't that what happened in the telecoms sector? Did govt give a kobo to MTN, Econet/Airtel, Etisalat and later Glo, to set up GSM? No! IBB merely deregulated the sector and passed appropriate laws to allow new entrants into the game, then capped it with a 10-year tax holiday. MTN thought it would take 5 years for them to break even, when they first entered the Nigerian market. But they broke even the 1st year, and started making profits in the 2nd year. By the 3rd year, MTN Nigeria was contributing a sizeable chunk of profits to MTN Group Operations in Africa. They should do the same for rail, water transport, refineries etc! 1 Like |

laudate: I reckon what nterloper might be trying to convey if I get his write up well, is that most of the routes this train lines might be running thru in this case would have to be purchased by government compulsory order and hopefully be monetized or converted as public or state contribution amongst other options to this projects. For me am not a big fan 100% private ownership especially on project that affect the masses directly, without any government presence on this board to kind of represent the masses and keep this guys on their toes, small equity as it maybe still matters that a government representative sits on those boards. You mentioned the likes of the Telcom out in Nigeria, but me think by giving them unfettered access to design. Implementation and pricing of this industry does have a negative multiplier effect. But if I were government and see that MTN was able to break even within a year of operation in the interest of the people/tax we will have to renegotiate honestly. Government would have insisted that a clause be inserted that whichever comes first either 5 years tax break or once they declare profit within the 5 years ......... Tax holiday is finished abeg, we need those taxes coming in soonest to tidy up our books and infrastructures. No need sitting bye and watching em cart away all them profit in the name of tax break to incentify them whilst the country looses much needed funds from taxes. Some of those contract should really be pro people come what may. No nations leaves her country's resources to be plunged and looks on like naija, resources here are the consumer who constantly and continously patronise their services. |

superstar1: War against free speech and sane conversation does comes with a prize like bans and deleted posts........... Funny enough contributors here are suppose to be from an homogenous group as in mainly Yoruba and they have more bans flying back an forth compared if with were one of those e tribal wars on full throttle. I guess that is what u get for being too enlightened in that part of the country hahaha Imagine if it this thread had a lot of not so smart people, bans and deletion of post would be so alien in here. We need more illiterates here it will cure the literates one time lol |
