Why Wazobia is a lie, not Nigeria! not Majority? By Uwagboe Ogieva 22 April 2011 http://ihuanedo.ning.com/group/wazobiaisalienotnigeria/forum/topics/why-wazobia-is-a-lie-not Why really are WAZOBIANS called majority in Nigeria and outside Nigeria? 1. Is it because of the media scam, political stereotype of other great ethnic nations in publications , Nollywood films, hip hop music explosion and numbers of graduates from Universities across SW of Nigeria ? 2. Language and cultural imposition (cultural imperialism by the W-3) ? 3. False population statistics in early 50s and 60s by the Wazobia elites and pseudo politicians (Awo, Zik, Balewas, etc) ? 4.

"We will fight these vermins called homosexuals or gays the same way we are fighting malaria-causing mosquitoes, if not more aggressively," he said.

This is why, when Samuel Eto'o scored against Spurs on Feb 8th and celebrated his goal with a hilarious 'Old Man Injured' celebration, many reporters were licking their lips at the chance to ask the Special One about it after the game. The Portuguese was however quite ready for their questions and, it appears, for Eto'o's antics as well. Call him the Ready One.

by Chux Ohai Several years after he designed and built a customised speed car, musician-turned lecturer, Sir Victor Uwaifo, is still awaiting investors, Chux Ohai writes Multi-talented highlife musician, Sir Victor Uwaifo, is a successful man in all ramifications. But the celebrated singer seems to be agitated by a little problem.

29th December 2013 “Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God.” One man who is out to open many old “secrets” in the Catholic church is Pope Francis. Some of the beliefs that are held in the church but contrary to the loving nature of God are now being set aside by the Pope who was recently named  The Man of The Year  by  TIME Magazine .

Haiti – Its capital is blighted with earthquake rubble. Its countryside is shorn of trees, chopped down for fuel. And yet, Haiti’s land may hold the key to relieving centuries of poverty, disaster and disease: There is gold hidden in its hills — and silver and copper, too. A flurry of exploratory drilling in the past year has found precious metals worth potentially $20 billion deep below the tropical ridges in the country’s northeastern mountains. Now, a mining company is drilling around the clock to determine how to get those metals out.

February 24, 2014 Foreign Minister Børge Brende, who “deeply regrets” a new law in Uganda that can send homosexuals to prison for life, announced Monday that Norway was withholding aid to Uganda’s government in protest. Now, with Uganda’s president claiming the country doesn’t need aid from those criticizing its anti-gay law, Norway may redistribute all aid to Uganda, with none of it going to the government itself.

My Heart and best thoughts go out to and for the Women of the African Continent for in spite the progressive and non-progressive struggles, failures and successes of the African Men, the African Woman has maintained their support for the African Man; while taking care of African Children in harsh conditions, while maintaining small farms and businesses to  feed their children and contribute to the financial needs of their Families and Community.

By Joe Africanist folks are wont to throw in everything they’ve got in thoughts and views, including the kitchen sink. The result is a potpourri of related and unrelated ideas like mixing up white, mulatto and albino babies in the maternity ward. The thread by which the fabric of most proponent arguments are woven is the fantasy that Africa should not have been invaded by foreigners or having been, should somehow revert back to the way it was when Cleopatra was still a randy pharaoh in Egypt. And that is the Achilles’ of most proposition on African cosa nostra.

Rockefeller, 1972 (1978.412.323) Queen Mothers were not established in the kingdom of Benin until the end of the Fifteenth century when a great conflict between two sons over the ascension to the throne threatened to destroy the empire. Oba (king) Ozula died and left the throne open to his two sons, Arhuaran, who controlled the city of Udo , and Esigie, who controlled Benin City . It is said that the mother Idia used her magical powers to help Esigie win a war against his brother and also the neighboring Igala people, who wished to take advantage of the Benin kingdom’s state of weakness and attack them. From then on, the mothers of the kings were honored and given powers and prestige in the government of the kingdom. From the story, several of the traditions that surround...

A white guy, disguised as a a black guy, managed to rip off four banks and a CVS in Ohio before he was caught. No, we’re not kidding. Maybe Conrad Zdzierak was inspired by “Soul Man (1986),” or even Robert Downey Jr.’s performance in “Tropic Thunder” (2008), but the 30-year-old, former Florida resident didn’t rely on tanning pills or surgical procedures, respectively, to darken his skin. Instead he played out his John Dillinger Chaz Williams dreams while wearing a Hollywood style mask (called The Player) that was good enough to fool bank tellers and police into thinking their suspect was an African-American.

 GEN ABACHA, HATED THE TYPE  OF ISLAM OF SANUSI * The regime identified the masterminds, so mandated its hit squad to eliminate the nine, including Sanusi. Fresh facts have emerged as to why the government of late Sani Abacha did not kill Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), governor, Lamido Sanusi, in 1995, after he and eight other jihadists mobilized crazed extremists to behead Gideon Akaluka in jail.

You don't float off and have trouble functioning in this world, you begin to thrill in this Earth Life. Spiritual enlightenment is unique for each person, but there are some classic signs.

Issues and challenges resolve quickly, and you soon develop an inner knowing that all is well, no matter what is going on around you.

By Uwagboe Ogieva (First published on web - 30th May 2011) INTRODUCTION According to internet Dictionary, there are more than 25 Edoid group of dialects present today in southern Nigeria. Edoid is taken from word Edo. Edo is what the Ancient Benin people spoke and called themselves as stated by Ben-Amos, Paula on Encyclopedia of World Cultures, 1996. quote: "Edo" is the name that the people of the Ancient Benin Kingdom give to themselves, their language, and their capital city and kingdom. Renowned for their art of brass and ivory and for their complex political organization, the Edo Kingdom of Benin is one of the best known of the pre-colonial kingdoms on the Guinea Coast of West Africa. From at least the fifteenth century, the Benin Empire held varying degrees of authority over neighbouring peoples, including the western Igbo, north-eastern Yoruba, and various related Edo-speaking groups. In 1897 British-colonial forces conquered the kingdom and made it par...

BY NAIWU OSAHON It is not by accident that Africa and the rest of the developing world became so massively indebted to the West exactly at the same time.  The control mechanisms are the IMF and the World Bank, and the purpose is to cause as much social dislocation as possible, leading to hunger, diseases and deaths.  The group of seven (G7 or as it is called in recent times, G8) came into being (as G5 in 1976 in Paris) on the eve of the anniversary of one hundred years of the Berlin (1884 – 85) conference on African partition and colonization.  The purpose of the group was to find solutions to the economic difficulties of the West at the time when some economies in the developing world were just beginning to bask in their newfound oil wealth.

 In western society, there are a plethora of pseudo holidays that are associated with automatic spending. For instance, Saint Valentine’s Day spending ranges from simple items like Valentine Cards, a box of candy to expensive jewelry and luxurious cars. Significantly, there is never a question asked. Regardless, if you are spouse or significant other. Everyone responds automatically as if its a rite of passage. Perhaps, it would be financially responsible to determine what we are celebrating and most importantly why?

Date: June 21, 2013 Author: ThePassionateWife When it comes to sexual intercourse, many women would be delighted – in more ways than one – if their men viewed thrusting as something more than just a race to the finish line. Thrusting is a wonderful time for loving couples to touch, kiss and even dialogue – whether whispering sweet nothings or engaging in dirty talk. Thrusting can also encourage intimacy and a sense of connection. Couples who believe the sole reason for thrusting is to achieve orgasm often end up suffering from mechanical sex that is devoid of any emotional depth and lasting enjoyment.

The image of Osun State’s pupils and their religious-sartorial protest, published in various newspapers last week, is an indication that the proscription of religious activities in public schools in Nigeria is overdue. For schoolchildren who, ideally, should be racking their heads to solve mathematical equations – like their mates in other parts of the world – to be used by politicians to fight a proxy war shows that these kids are not getting the right kind of learning. Talk of the “miseducation” of the Nigerian child. The school is a place where children should learn mutual tolerance. If pupils cannot learn – early enough – to accommodate their mates of other faiths, at what stage of their lives will they do so?

Publicado el  17/08/2013 TEDx is about "simplified, authentic storytelling" in this talk Sanusi Lamido Sanusi talks about what it would take for this generation of Millenials to revive the Nigerian economy.

Florida's second sensational, race-tinged murder trial in less than a year is underway. Michael Dunn, a white, 47-year-old software developer,  shot and killed Jordan Davis , a 17-year-old African American, as the teen sat in an SUV with three friends. Charged with first-degree murder, Dunn is pleading self-defense under Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law. He contends that he argued with the teens (over what a witness says he called their " thug music ") and fired on them after he claims he saw Davis brandish a shotgun. Police found no gun at the scene, and  witnesses say  Davis never had one.

When I talk about the founding of Lagos, I do not mean the discovery of the geographical space or the topography known as Lagos. I am talking about the establishment of an ancient port by the Edos in a joint venture with the Portuguese in South Western Nigeria. The said port became the matrix cornerstone of the metropolis, known today as Lagos, Nigeria.

According to research, There are three ways women can rapé men.  First one:  Adult women can and do commit statutory rapé against underage boys. When this phenomenon first came to light with a female high school teacher and an underage male  student, it was shocking and I think many people assumed such a thing was freakishly rare. Subsequently, a number of such cases have been publicized suggesting this kind of occurrence is not nearly as freakishly uncommon as many believed. As with men and underage girls, the complicity of the victim does not alter the criminality of the act. The second way:  women can rapé men is through unwilling (anál or orál) penetration of men with fingers or objects. (I don’t know if unwilling orál pénetration is always treated as rapé in law.) Third way;  a woman can rapé a man through coércing them to pénetrate the woman with an eréct pénis. Though it is not easy to ‘will’ an erection, it’s not always impossible, either. Men, like w...
