From past records idia is the mum to Prince esigie whom administered Benin city area, but by the death of oba ozobua, idia helped her son to subdue arhuan of udo area, which made him ascend the throne as the next oba. The line of bini kings believed to have fallen off sky came to be known as ogiso - igodomigodo.



The Yoruba, there came a time when different empires and kingdoms rose, before the etymology of Yoruba came in place,



The Oyo empire is rich, with Ile ife seen as the spiritual epicenter, while Oyo is administrative,



Ife-bini connection, the bini-eko connection,even the moremi connection, the oranmiya-obatala-oduduwa controversial connection etc

I used to dismiss such African myths of origin - which you'll find in many tribes, but I've come to realize they are true depictions of actual events. You'd have to believe in the bible and the story of the sons of God who descended on the earth, mingled and ruled over the men.

Am also beginning to understand the fascination with masks after seeing the photos of Ooni during coronation. They are all correlated. I always wondered why they had such long exergerated foreheads. That's abit of the African spiritual/occultic past.

still d average Nigerian more brilliant than an average African , so who are u mocking

They are not Berber
Have you ever heard of the Green Sahara?
The Fulani are Pastoral Nomadic. I believe the Fulani had an extensive territory thousands of years ago where they could herd their livestock. Nowadays, they are reduced to the Sahel due to dessertification/expansion of the Sahara. If you go to the Sahara, particularly near the Hoggar Mountains, you would find a UNESCO world heritage site callled Tassili n'Ajjer. The earliest pieces of the 15,000 or so rock paintings are thought to be around 12,000 years old. Some people say these paintings show some proto-Fulani traditions.

One thing I like about West Africa is the history and linguistic/ethnic diversity. In one town, it's not impossible for each neighborhood to be speaking a different language from another. Deep history and multiculturalism is a part of the narrative.

The art is nice!

uzzyfire:
nairobi can Neva be compared to Lagos ,

Lagos a city that never sleeps . literally

Not my words

Tell that to the Fulanis. I've met many from Guinea who claim to be cushites from Ethiopia.

Nowenuse:


Many Kenyans probably thought that Nigerians were people of low self-esteem who they could easily ride on with their lies.......these ones have definitely learnt their lessons, next time when they meet with Nigerians, they will always be sure to count their words before uttering them in order to avoid embarrassing themselves.

They think we are called the GIANTS OF AFRICA for nothing.

Thanks to you, forgivness, freshest4live, adamskutty, shervydman, arinzeejikonye and all others.
Nigeria will surely get better and gradually continue to take it's place as the Giant of Africa. We will fully recover from the decades wasted by military rule.

Sleeping giant.

TayserMahiri:


Nice, what are the white stuffs then if not confetti? Don't tell me its money...

it is money......man.

TayserMahiri:


Have you met an Oromo before?

Yep. I was visiting Tana River years ago. They are mostly dark. Like other nilotes, but for the Somali looks. They share the county with pokomos. The women walk around with knives - I think its because of the tribal wars

obaaderemi:
Hahaha.I think this wraps up that little business of tall buildings.Hope our mutual friend,the shape shifter wouldn't come up with another parameter.Well done Sir,for a job well done.

Absolutely, this wraps up the battle for the na who get am pass business. He has already thrown in his Towel and I hope it remains that way while it last.

TayserMahiri:


LMAO, Nigeria is like any country in Africa. Nothing special except the big mouths and false sense of self importance.

looolll OK oooo, that's wat u think

Nowenuse:


Yes, Bura (not baburr) are the largest tribe in Southern Borno.
Some Buras have explained to me that Babur are the Buras of Adamawa state. But both names are mostly used interchangeably. They are practically the same people.

I think Buras are found in Hawul and Biu LGAs (entirely) while they share Bayo, Askira and Kwaya kusar LGAs with other tribes.
Gwoza LGA is dominated by very small minority tribes that may be up to 1 dozen in number.

Do u think Buras are dominantly muslims or christians?

Babur, Bura, Pabir are all dsame people jst like Kanuri, Manga, central Kanuri and maybe kanembu. I know a few Babur and they r Muslims.

Nowenuse:


Interesting.

I never knew that PH had more high rises than Abuja.

Based on what is available, Port Harcourt has more but if you know more you can list them.

Are they related to d Somalis?





Here in Nigeria, d shuwa Arabs also move with a knife both male and female. Don't joke with them, they kill faster than ebola

And they also look like d Somalis.

What is the population of people in Nairobi
I am coming up with something!!!

Muafrika2:

Now I see why these discussions have been shallow Are you even 20?

I'm not 20 either

Isahalbash:

They are related.

Here too. The easiest way to get stabbed is pick a fight on the street (or even during a street football match in the estates ) with a Somali or Oromo. They are mostly very angry people. They are like Arabs in temperament

forgiveness:


Bhuuuhahaha!

lastly
Cresent Apartments 24flrs Mombasa site preps already

fanficgirl:

I'm not 20 either

Don't worry about that. Girls mature earlier than boys

Its evident

Now mister Adams wanna expose these insecure Kenyan brats.

The population of Nairobi, Kenya's largest city is 2.7million, right??

but only few places in Nairobi is worth calling a city with residents not up to 500,000

2017 population index from world population review index.

http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/kenya-population/cities/


Mombasa has a population of less than a million, 700k.

we can now conclude that majority of Kenyans either live in slums (the urban dwellers) while the rest live in jungles, like the masia masia jumping kangaroo people.

the population of some cities is not up to 70,000

The abuja national stadium has a capacity of 60k.


By dawn I will sum up all the population of the slums in Nairobi(Kenya's best city). Then we will get to see the population of those who actually live in the city center.

There are about 6 slums alone in Nairobi, Nairobi not Kenya oooo. And there all fall in the top 20 slums in Africa with kiberia proudly occupying number 1 position with 1.2million slum dwellers.
Some sites even said 2.5million

2.7 - 1.2million= 1.5million left.

Mathare is 500k (still in Nairobi oo)

1.5million - 500k = 1Million left.

oh my God, I have many calculations to do by dawn to get the exact number of Nairobi residents who ain't slum dwellers.

bye for now!

Tell that to the Fulanis. I've met many from Guinea who claim to be cushites from Ethiopia.

Lol that doesn't even make sense.
Most Fulani admit they came from the Fouta djalon in Guinea or somewhere around the Senegambia region. Their language is similar to languages in the region. They likely migrated there from a region further North.

TayserMahiri:

Haha, you've guessed it

The money is from party guests and it usually goes to the newly wed so it's not what you think.

Lol they claim Cushitic when many Cushitics like Somali will probably call them derogatory terms like Bantu or jareer. Fulanis I've met are proud West African.

I don't want to encounter them then, I dont want to be knifed. Do they consider themselves kenyans or ethiopians?

They have killed many Hausa boys here. If u love ur life, don't attain their party because d probability of life/death is 50/50... Secondly, don't date any of their ladies dat have booked like: Chelsea& Arsenal match tickect, unless if u r ready to book ur flight to heaven or hell



When dey killed a Southern, they tamed Dem " Hausas."
