Let me have your attention:

The gèlè vs I.chaf00l conversation you see every moment on the TL is being sponsored.

It's deeper than you think and the real battle ground is not on X.

These guys have gone on Wikipedia and her sister Websites to vandalise these pages replacing gèlè with I.chaf00l.

We have roundly defeated them on Wikipedia (I won't go into much details) that's why they come here every market day to shout I.chaf00l bla bla.

They are doing this to ragebait you into giving the topic more social media visibility and search engine validation and indexing as they want their actions here to commemorate their efforts on the vandalised pages.

The more you mention I.chaf00l in its correct form beside gele, the more they appear on search engines when gèlè is being searched for.

Don't give them that clout!

1a. Any post that mentions I.chaf00l. Don't engage it, send me, @NoNonsensezone, @og_beeping101 or @nezzylina the link.

1b. Mute the poster.

2. Any Yorùbá you see mentioning I.chaf00l or commenting on a post that does so, send them a courtesy DM to explain the danger of what they doing.

3. Always mispell I.chaf00l - this is very important.

4. Their ring leader is that girl approaching menopause coming here to beg for husband daily. Her puuussy is on the TL. When she makes a video and you feel too itchy to reply her, you know what to do.

Starve them of attention and watch them go into oblivion.

We own this street and we alone can decide what trends or not. This is not a battle of gèlè alone. They will come for agbada, fìlà and everything that belongs to us but we must be ready.

Yours in Strategic Consciousness,
Bayo Bilisi Ọmọ Jẹjẹ

For the culture 👍

@Princemoye1 Many people now see church as business centre, so the fear as church and mosque been God house is gone.

[Bayo Bilisi (Back Up) @Bayo_Bilisi]

Did he mention Pa Awolowo?

Let's forge ahead...

Did he mention Aguinyi Ironsi?

Why am I worried about those 2 names?

Nigeria was headed by regional leaders

Eastern region - Okpara
Northern Region - Ahmadu Bello
Western Region - Obafemi Awolowo

The man who destroyed the regional government he's praising in that post was his kinsman - Aguinyi Ironsi...

He skipped Awolowo because he was the most successful of the three...

He also skipped his brother because he didn't want to mention the evil he committed...

Oniya = Bigot!

PETE EDOCHIE: THE LONGEST ACTING CAREER? MY PERSPECTIVE

Pa Pete Edochie is a name too large for my modest vocabulary to contain; an entity so towering that my finest sentence will still fall short of his true worth; an institution so monumental that he has earned, by sheer weight of years and craft, the right to stand before anyone and declare, "I am indeed whom I claim to be."

And YES, I agree with him, in terms of aura and gravitas, there are very few living Nigerian actor that can match his intimidating presence. Pa Pete is naturally endowed with a stature that can conveniently bully almost anyone placed in his frame, and without trying, simply by being there. He is that blessed.

And in interpretation of roles, no true lover of this craft can deny Pa Pete his flowers. The prestige, the splendor, the sheer command with which he breathes life into elder statesmen on screen, wedded to an impeccable grasp of the English tongue and an elegant, unshaken pride in his Igbo heritage - I have not seen his equal among the living. That much must be acknowledged.

I also handsomely understand and appreciate his reasons for engaging in self-adulation. In the past decade, every tom, dick and harry goes on TV to claim their seniority over the much revered thespian, even where and when it is absolutely unnecessary.

First it was KOK, who shrank the entire history of Nigerian theatre into the frame of Living in Bondage and crowned himself above Pa Pete. Then came Mr. Yemi Solade, dragging Pa Pete's name into conversations even when he was nowhere near the object of discourse. Entirely needless.

So, lest his colleagues begin to confuse his silence for admission of surbodinateship, he felt the justifiable urge to set the records straight. And in setting straight those records, he established that the Nigerian theatre's history stretches long before the era of home video, for there would be no Nollywood at all if the stage and the traveling theatre had not first laid its foundation.

And it is precisely in this record-setting that I must, with respect, say the elder has erred.

Shall I Begin?

Pa Pete tells us he first appeared on stage in 1965, a boy of fifteen, and on this basis alone lays claim to seniority over every actor yet drawing breath. I say, with the deepest respect an elder is owed, that he is mistaken - and I believe honestly so.

First of all, as a 15 year old boy, he clearly didn't acquire a degree in theater arts at that young age and it doesn't appear as though he learnt through apprenticeship.

Whatever Pa Pete recalls as his "first stage appearance" was, in all likelihood, no more than a child's play - the kind many young boys performed acting the devil in a church drama, not the disciplined craft of a trained thespian.

A boy summoned to stand among extras does not thereby become a professional, except he can produce the certificate or name the theatre group under whose tutelage he trained.

Conversely, Pa Lere Paimo - Baba Eda Onile Ola, joined the Oyin Adejobi theatre group in 1960, learning the very rudiments of this profession, and by 1961 had already risen to become one of the most significant figures in the Duro Ladipo Theatre group, touring stages across the nation and beyond our borders.

And then comes Alhaji Kareem Adepoju, Baba Wande, whose professional career began in 1962. Then Oga Bello, in 1964. And the list continues - names whose professional record predates Pa Pete's, even if we generously accept his inaccurate account of 1965 as fact.

But yes - we must still concede him this: he carries a stature none can deny, and he remains, without contest, one of my personal all-time greats. And among actors of Igbo extraction, there is indeed none whose professional record predates his.

But the Yoruba must not be added to that reckoning - for we are the pioneers of this craft. And no matter how early a child arrives at the farm, he will meet the stump already standing there.

Good Evening Severally...
