This shows how sophisticated and rich the Yoruba Ethnic group has been
This video provides evidence of how long the western region of Yorubaland has existed.
Recently, in the Alimosho area of Lagos State, several cowrie shells and a buried bottle were discovered.
The bottle had the year 1873 engraved on its body, a clear sign that people were already settled, trading, and leaving things behind in this part of Lagos more than 150 years ago.
@ObioraOfordile@TheYorubaTimes People that are asking for more weapons to kill and kidnapping more people and billions of naira to recruit more bandits to come and open office in oyo... U are a devilish person if u think life of 10 people is more than safety of 1,000,000 others people living in the state ..
@ObioraOfordile@TheYorubaTimes Chairman u no too get sense ... U think they are fools once it has been brought in no reversing it... If they do 100 more will be kidnappped and the Muslims will rise against the reversal then the country is doomed to be like Iran.
I also stopped visiting a friend of mine because he had a snake. The last time I visited him, I asked him where his snake was because it wasn't in its cage and he told me he didn't know but it's somewhere around the house. 😭 I left immediately.
When I listen to this lagbaja song 200 million mumu. I can't help but feel he is actually right then again... Wat can ordinary citizens do to change anything when they have rulers with no listening ears? Will Someone sleeping on empty stomach have the strength to fight?
Dan Bello is a classroom teacher in China. He is perfectly suited for the Revolution of the Mind he embarked upon. I attached myself to his Crusade, because he is a constant reminder of the reasons why we fight, & I will tell you why.
Your present-day Nigeria is Imperial China in many ways. You see, “China growth was deliberate; they knew that Western education was the ONLY pathway to success.”
China wasn’t always the success story you see today. It was a closed system, closed to the outside world, until at least 1842.
An earth-shattering event happened. China came to a turning point. They needed sweet revenge. And how best were they going to achieve that? WESTERN EDUCATION!
You see, Western Education saved China.
Following the defeats at the Opium Wars, a few Revolutions & the ‘Century of Humiliation’ that followed, China came to crossroads.
In the aftermath of the Opium Wars, Emperor Puyi (the last emperor to rule all of Imperial China) abdicated his throne. China suffered at the hands of the foreign powers that invaded the Empire a century before. The Empire paid huge taels of silver as (indemnities running into billions of dollars in today’s money) to the foreign powers that invaded it.
To add salt to injury, foreign diplomats lived right outside the Imperial Palace, exempt from taxes. On their knees defeated, the Chinese began to seek for solutions to their woes. Ruler or no ruler, China remained a semi-colonial, semi-feudal state. I SHOULD CONTINUE?
The students at Peking University organized themselves into groups. Many wrote journals to raise awareness to the Asylum China had become. They called the journal the “Nouvelle Jeunesse” in French, or New Youth. They even broke the barricade of the military police, & marched on the Tiananmen Square.
Chinese Emancipation from Western imperialism & oppression was led largely by the youths. Back then in 1872, China sent their first batch of students to the United States & Great Britain (to gain western education). And several decades later, they returned; & “China: Odyssey to Greatness” ignited.
Like China, Nigeria will be no different. The journey already began, but many are not paying attention. Dan Bello is one of Africa’s Change Makers of Nigerian descent. He renovated a classroom in Northern Nigeria with less than N5 million. From his estimation, there are up to 50,000 dilapidated classrooms in the North.
But Northern Nigeria is not alone, you have classrooms in terrible shape in Southern Nigeria as well. What Dan is doing for his region cannot be overemphasized. I think Nigeria can actually win, if young Nigerians come together.
The old politicians have failed, should we fail the next generation as well? While we continue to bicker among ourselves, the politicians get away with everything. What bigotry has divided, education can unite. So I hope to see more lovers of education like Dan (take up the challenge). #FixAClassroom is the hashtag.
See it as your own little way of giving back, CSR is you like. We should saturate Twitter with such videos & photos, & shame the governors. That is if they have any shame left in them. When we do that, perhaps they will start to act.
In the end, Nigeria will win. Be a Dan Bello in your little corner, be a Change Maker.
A Tunisian iman in France gave a sermon calling the French flag ‘satanic’.
Within 8 hours, the police showed up at his house and put him on the first plane to Tunisia.
He had lived in France for 40 years!
Do you agree with France’s decision to deport him?
Dan Bello spent 4.1 million Naira for this project.
Yahaya bello stole over 81 billion Naira.
81 billion naira will do this project for 19,756 class rooms.
This is the level of rot and corruption in our society.
Diana refused to stand in front of the pyramids to take a picture: "The picture will be boring and I will look ridiculous." The photographer said: "Madam, the pyramids are one of the 7 wonders of the world and you are the 8th. Can we take the picture?" She laughed: "How can I refuse your request?"
@Atine30@Dprince_charmin I don't do dark skins so 1 and 2 cancel, the last one in black looks like one that will finish my money.... So the 3 & 4 I will become a Muslim and marry them both... ☺️
