We hardly look in the paper dictionary these days and many other stuff like that; electronic ones are the order of the day. Should the same should apply to Holy Bible? It depends on what you use that phone for and your personal conviction. For me, It's not really good pulling Bible verses out of same phone with which one indulges in both "immorals and illegals".

A client is stuck with these options.

2013 Mazda CX-5
2006 Lexus RX 330
2012 Toyota Corolla

Which is the best option for him and why?

Please help.

They are different types of vehicles. The best choice here is the 2013 Cx-5. Better if you get one in good condition with the help of a trusted technician.

Nigeria made highest money under Okonjo but was still borrowing to pay salaries!

He couldn't even convince Kaduna State to vote Tinubu and APC in 2023.

it is only to Foster unity, understanding, peaceful coexistence and communication channels where we have sizeable foreigners residents in other regions, states, countries and lands.

You don't seem to understand the difference between Oba of Kano, Sarkin Sasa (when these places have Emir of Kano and Baale of Sasa) and Oba Yoruba in Kano or Sarkin Hausawa in Sasa.

So you agree that you lied when you lumped Jonathan with Azikiwe/Balewa in your initial post

Where is the lie. Read the title of the thread again Mr.

anonimi:


Did Jonathan remove the governors and the HoAs like Zik/Balewa and Obasanjo plus Tinubu have done?

Are you a habitual liar

Were the the legislature and executive having protracted fight in those States you mentioned? Only Ekiti situation was almost the same with Rivers, although no one was bombing government infrastructure, still Obj suspended everyone. Awolowo wasn't lucky as he was tried and sent to jail.
In 2018 senate already reamended the law and gave the President power to suspend governor if there is or going to be serious problem in any state. Common sense should tell you that Fubara was on the path to impeachment and the President's declaration just saved him. I know you online judges only long for crisis, which will surely affect good people of Rivers.

In short, State of Emergencies are Yoruba things

Azikiwe signed first state of emergency in the Western Region in 1962; GEJ in Bornu and Yobe later Adamawa.

Yeah, I simply emphasized how the Jews were Africans, in relative to the ancient Black Egyptians since the Jews were Egyptian looking in nature. There was even some old articles where the Europeans were referring to the Yoruba as the Jews residing in Africa during the early colonization. So whether Yorubas are Jews or not, the Europeans always knew the Jews were Blacks to begin with before they were dispersed into Europe📌📌

Speaking of the Eurasian ixture, the Eurasian ixture of the East Africans (Ethiopian for example) is the second oldest after the Yoruba while that of the North Africans is the least oldest 📌📌

That was why I came up with the two theories. Either the Yoruba parted early from the Jews in the old BC timeline or the Yoruba could also be ancient people doing their things like I theorised. I mean the Yoruba have got ancient African gene, including the ghost DNA.

Although many would always opposed to this based on their myopic view. However, I want to state here that the Yoruba people of today were not of one origin; of recent were people from Baruba, Nupe, etc origins.

The most ancient among the Yorubas were the Urahurẹs (Ara urẹ/wẹwẹ) as we called them in Ekiti; some said they were pygmies, others said they were Koisans. These groups ancestors made those marks you find on the rocks in Iṣarun, around present Ondo and Ekiti States. Also those Archeological discoveries in Iwo Ẹlẹru. They populated this region before the coming of Ulesuns.

The Ulesuns as we referred to them were not just one group but the most popular ones gave Yorubas most of their religion and traditions. The Ogun, Obatala, Orunmila, Láàlu, Agboniregun, etc. They shared almost same origin with Crete, Greeks and some of the Phoenicians, etc. They migrated earlier to settle in W/Africa particularly Ife, Ado Ekiti, Ikole and most parts of present Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, Kogi and Edo. They actually came with story of first Ife establishment in the Mediterranean. Other Kemet groups like kwararafa, kenem, Igala started ing them, the Igala in particular and some of these groups also moved to Edo and the Niger Delta (Obagodo of Igodomigodo, the Oru peoplem etc

The last major people that made up Yoruba and which formed most of the ruling class now were Semitic and the first group among them came from Mesopotamia, there were others from northeastern part of Africa, etc. (you can research the initial crises of some of Ọmọ Ọwá Ọbas in Ekiti vs Oore of Ọtun). Majority of these groups didn't originally intermarried with the other groups they met on ground, they married from themselves until it wasn't possible again. The organised the region monarchically, expand and rule over Ulesun villages. They reshape some of the traditions pertaining to naming, circumcision, etc... Some great ones among them retook Ulesun greatmen's names.

Many groups came from present northern Sudan and Oromo region of Ethiopia. Some Phoenicians who had become Christians also came later through the Sea and ed up, reasons we have Morèmi and Èlà, ọjọ Ẹtì, Ọjọ Abameta and Aiku mixed up.
There was fusion of the religion of the first Semitic group with that of Ulesuns. The language of the the Ulesuns that was a mixture with Kemet, because of so many groups from kemet, also prevalent.

It's due to the above we have multiple oral tradition of our origin. We are one people now, very proud one! Most don't wants to really associate with anything Semitic because of the two new religions and their rivalry. It now depends on which history one believes or imposes on others... because some don't want to research anything but hold to just one of these origins, nothing more, nothing less...

Since you don't want Toyota or Lexus, I will advise you go for Mazda CX-9 (2013-2015)

Reason to have regional system of government. If the North had been spending this huge amount from what they generated there would have been an end to all these insecurities over there.

Obi didn't condemn the highway... He only said that there are more pressing needs.

Like electricity and more pressing road infrastructure.. Yet Tinubu ers have been vomiting since...

Yet when Atiku condemned the same highway and accused Tinubu of being corrupt a few weeks ago they were quiet all through.

Why is that?

It's shameful and foolhardy for a southerner to Atiku to condemn Lagos - Calabar coastal road. The Northerners have been spending trillions to build roads in their place without complaints from the south. They even awarded rail projects to Niger with so much money.

The trillions of money that should have gone into developmental projects are being spent to fight their terrorism and banditry.
We have serious problem in the south if coastal states that provided this money shouldn't have a coastal road. Obi and his ilks should go and sit down; must they negative comments/judgement on everything?

Still doesnt change the fact that the okus were not indigenous in sl and the gambia.

The worst I've read on Nairaland. Fulanis are indigenes of Nigeria but Oku/Aku are not indigenes of Sierra Leone and the Gambia? You meant Krio/Creole are not also indigenes of Sierra Leone? Please, tell us their country.

You are always hunting for front page so that your fellow Obirodent can give u likes

If you are doing all these for likes, then u must be really not sane. Your mates are on twitter using Labour Party and eluppee to cash out money but u r looking for likes on nairaland

Taylor98 aka Lagosfirstson aka SpartaOfLagos aka Arobaga aka AlhajiCSO

You will surely get the likes u r looking for. But after that, what else

How much for dollar on kucoin abeg

He's on the payroll of Seun and the mods. He is not only insulting the president at every thread but he also breaks rule 2 and 8 at will with no mod cautioning him.

We should be more concerned that the north, for decades now, is wasting all money meant for national development on their insecurities.

Arobaga:
I still don’t know what’s so difficult in having this man arrested





Still baffles me why Tinubu is scared of the north

You always look for every opportunity to insult Tinubu. He's been doing that through Gej and Buhari's tenure, he's also your good friend just as he is to your Obi Saint but it's Tinubu that's your headache.






This man here has done more harm to Nigeria than Igboho Sowore and Nnamdi Kanu ever did





Slaves and masters contradiction




But when I call Tinubu maggot his ers will be shouting DSS up and down like fools they are

Mentioning some South Western states and 2 others in one other region isn't enough. You should have listed the and D operation in all the 37 command.
You guys will wail tire since you didn't do this under past presidents and Heads of state.

Slytiger:

Alot of them are not even aware that Olumide is an Edo man. They see the Olumide name and can't wrap their head around why an Edo man was called Olumide. They are too daft to even know that Akoko Edo is in Edo State.

I was on an Obidient twitter space where one very vocal Edo Obidient lady even said Akpata is a Yoruba name and does not trust Olumide as a result of his names. I had to google and realised that Yoruba is Apata and not Akpata.

Ambrose Folorunso Ali remains one of the best governors Edo ever produced; he never had any Edo name.

Upon receipt of the information, a team of RRS operatives swung into action and arrested one ABUBAKAR ALIYU a.k.a SMALLIE who was on a mission to spy on the actual location of the Expatriates. After the arrest of Abubakar Aliyu a.k.a SMALLIE, the leader of the kidnapping gang identified as one Sumo Karami sent two (2) vigilante , one Saliu Ibrahim and Umaru Saliu, to secure the bail of the arrested gang member from Police custody. The two (2) vigilante were arrested and they led the RRS operatives to Oro-Ago town where one Mohammed Bashiru, the leader of Miyetti Allah vigilante in Oro-Ago, Kwara State, was arrested. During interrogation, Mohammed Bashiru revealed that he is a relative of Sumo Karami who is a leader of a dreaded kidnapping gang and that Abubakar Aliyu a.k.a SMALLIE is one his gang who have been terrorizing and kidnapping innocent citizens with AK47 rifles and other dangerous weapons. Initial investigation revealed that Sumo Karami and his gang were responsible for the kidnapping of the Pupils and their Teachers in Emure-Ekiti on 29th January, 2024.

Meanwhile, the phone used to demand for ransom for the release of the Pupils and the Teachers was recovered from the suspects and effort intensified led to the arrest of two (2) among the gang , namely: Yahaya Jubril and Usman Garba in Owo forest, Ondo State.
