Yórúbà Maniac When all seems lost, HOPE remains Man’s eternal optimism. Antisocial/ Anti-e-idiot. Yoruba traditions are our Heritage.

PANAMA PAPERS, PANDORA PAPERS: FIVE YEARS LATER, PROBES BEGIN
Five years after the Pandora Papers exposed alleged undeclared offshore interests linked to Nigerian public officials, the Code of Conduct Bureau says investigations involving seven individuals have commenced.
Those assigned to case officers include former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, former Senate Presidents Bukola Saraki and David Mark, former Aviation Minister Stella Oduah, and three other individuals.
The investigations follow years of questions about the status of cases arising from PREMIUM TIMES’ reporting on the Panama Papers and Pandora Papers.

This is how we respond to people who covet good things but will rather replace the real owners instead of acknowledging them.
The Lagos Gele Day is happening this Sunday November 8, 2026.
All Yorùbá conservatives should be sharing this video. This is a victory to be celebrated 👏

By this logic, did the Yoruba also import their vigesimal (base-20) counting system from the Vikings because they used a similar system in Scandinavia? Similarities do not automatically establish historical transmission.
If the Yoruba developed a sophisticated base-20 counting system, why is it suddenly inconceivable that they could have developed a complex divination system involving 16 principal figures and 256 combinations?
The same intellectual arrogance was displayed by Europeans who saw the Ife bronze and terracotta sculptures and struggled to believe that an African civilisation could have produced such extraordinary works.
Not every sophisticated African achievement needs an Arab, European or foreign origin story to make it believable.
If your religious convictions lead you to believe that Arab civilisation is inherently superior, that's your personal business. But don't project that inferiority complex onto Yoruba history.
Yoruba did not invent Ifa. They imported it.
Before you let your emotions take over, calm yourself down. The original name of this system was ʿIlm al-Raml, The Science of Sand. It was developed by Black populations in Aswan and the Nile Valley long before it ever reached West Africa.
The whole framework is pure binary mathematics. It uses a base of 16 figures that multiply out into 256 probabilities. This is what Yoruba people call the 256 Odu.
If you want to know, go and read the historical manuscripts of North African scholars especially that of Shaykh Abdallah al-Zanati.
He documented this binary science centuries ago. Every single one of the 16 primary Odu in Ifa has a direct Arabic mathematical equivalent in Zanati’s records.
The figure the Arabs called Tariq is what the Yoruba call Ogbe. The figure they called Jama'a is what the Yoruba call Oyeku. The mathematical coding is identical. You cannot debate this.
When ancient people migrated from the Nubian corridors and Arab Trans-Saharan trade routes opened up, Islamic scholars and merchants brought this architectural blueprint with them into West Africa.
The Yoruba are genius custodians. They assimilated it brilliantly. They mapped this imported Arab-transmitted science onto their own indigenous cosmology, attributed it to Orunmila, and named it Ifa.
But being a great preserver is not the same as being the originator.
This is why you find the very same system everywhere along those migration routes. The Fon call it Fa. The Ewe call it Afa. In Madagascar it is Sikidy. The medieval Europeans even copied it and translated the Arabic name into Geomancy.
If we have been quiet about this, it does not mean we do not know. History does not care about modern sentiments.
By historical origin and transmission, Ifa is Esin Arabu. The blueprint came from Aswan and arrived through Arab corridors.
Facts don’t lie.
Allah knows best.

'Since I more or less dragged Fashola into politics, we agreed that he will drive the vision of governance while I handle the Political nuances.' - From the Horse's mouth, President Tinubu.
Will vote him a million times over as Governor or President. 😊

Yes, contacts make it plausible. Igala expanded into northern Igboland (Nsukka area) in the 17th-18th centuries, bringing cultural and religious influence alongside Benin (Edo) ties to Yoruba. The Attah has publicly described Ifa as a shared system across groups, with Igalas holding the same 16 signs and affirming its Yoruba form and links. Variants like Afa arose locally through exchange, while the full literary corpus remains tied to Yoruba tradition.

Federal Government of Nigeria under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR @officialABAT was gifting some unions brand new CNG buses to help civil servants and even televised and annouced it BUT so many people looked away
Nigeria Labour Congress NLC @NLCHeadquarters got 90 CNG buses.
Trade Union Congress TUC @TUCNigeria got 90 CNG buses
NLC and TUC got 180 CNG buses between them and 3 months funds to maintain them
Only a few are on the road o
Civil servants are still crying of high cost of transportation but their labour leaders are in possession of CNG buses..
Nigerians as CITIZENS are the MAJOR problems of Nigeria as a NATION.

Yoruba courses exist outside Africa mainly in the US (Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, UNC, UT Austin, Wisconsin and more), UK (SOAS short courses), and Brazil (UFF, UFRJ).
Igbo and Hausa also appear at US universities (Penn, Arizona, Indiana for Igbo; Kansas, MSU, Boston for Hausa) plus some UK/Europe options. Yoruba has the widest reach thanks to its large diaspora.

No. Aswan’s indigenous people are Nubians, a distinct African ethnic group speaking Nilo-Saharan languages, not Arabs. Saʿidi Arabs later settled the area after the 7th-century conquests.
Islam originated in Arabia (Mecca/Medina) with Muhammad, not Aswan. It reached Egypt via Arab conquests around 641 CE; Nubia stayed mostly Christian for centuries before gradual conversion through trade and migration.
ʿIlm al-Raml (Islamic geomancy) developed in the medieval Islamic world, often linked to North Africa or legendary figures like Idris. Structural parallels exist with Ifá’s binary 16/256 system, and diffusion along trade routes is debated among scholars. But Ifá’s full cosmology and oral corpus remain distinctly Yoruba; the specific Aswan-to-Yoruba transmission claim lacks solid historical support.

⚠️ WARNING! ‼️ If you’re travelling to the South-East of Nigeria, be extremely careful about what you eat. The level of poor hygiene in some places is alarming. Just look at what they’re feeding people. 👇🏽👇🏽iboland🤷♂️

The biafran soldiers also attacked other groups who were not involved in the war.
Egga market in idah was attacked by your people because our people refused to join your dead ideology.
This victim mentality must stop. You also did terrible things during the war.
I don’t think any tribe in Nigeria gets this but there’s a certain level of trauma that the war had on the igbos
We need to be honest with ourselves
I had an aunty that anytime she heard loud noises, she remembers airstrikes and shelling
Or is it my dad that saw an airstrike in a market that killed the a woman carrying a child on her back.
He tried to run and rescue the child but the bombings was too much
Till today he wonders if that child made it
My dad was 8 years old at the time
I just think that we should tell these stories more

When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough.
When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.
Those experiences have stayed with me.
I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford.
This is one reason education remains a major priority of our Renewed Hope administration.
Through NELFUND, we have provided over ₦372 billion in student loans for institutional fees and upkeep, helping young Nigerians remain in school and pursue their education.
Our technical and vocational education programme has attracted over 2.8 million applications. We have rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, while students in federal and selected state technical colleges now benefit from free school fees, boarding, textbooks and uniforms.
We have reached a new agreement with ASUU, providing for a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration and measures to improve stability in our universities.
A four-year course must take four years. Our young people deserve to complete their education on time and get on with their lives. Promise made, Promise Kept
In medical education, we are investing ₦110 billion in rehabilitating 24 medical schools. Annual nursing enrolment has increased from 28,000 to 115,000, while medical and dental enrolment has risen from 5,000 to 12,000.
Nigeria needs more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and we must build the capacity to train them here at home.
Over one million children who were previously out of school have been returned to learning. We are investing in teacher development, expanding educational opportunities for girls, and implementing a new national curriculum that restores Nigerian History to our classrooms.
Our children must know where we have come from, understand the country they belong to, and be prepared to take responsibility for its future.
I commend the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, the Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad @Suwaiba_Said, and the entire education team @NigEducation for their dedication to this important work.
I am particularly pleased that the team has developed an interactive A–Z of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), bringing together the reforms, programmes, achievements and opportunities across our education system.
I invite every Nigerian to visit edu4pbat.ng and explore the A–Z of NESRI.
If you are a parent, find out what opportunities are available for your children. If you are a student, explore the programmes you can benefit from. If you are a teacher, see what support is available.
And if something is not working as it should in your community, I want to hear about it. Your feedback will help us identify problems and address them.
Our journey from reform to opportunities and shared prosperity must begin with education.
The circumstances of a child’s birth should never determine the limits of their ambition. Our responsibility is to give every Nigerian child a fair chance to fulfil their potential.
We have more work to do, and I am determined to see it through.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President

Odumeje, that foolish man asked the other day if Ogun State people do business because we don’t brag about consumption commodity imports from China.
$145million expansion of an existing business.
This is Ogun State, we produce here! Don’t ever disrespect us. We are not mates!
Sir Kessington Adebutu's (Baba Ijebu) son, Adebisi Adebutu, has secured $81.9 million in financing to nearly triple porcelain tile production in Nigeria.
Afreximbank has approved the senior term loan for Veenocks Limited, founded by Adebisi Abidemi Adebutu, to support a $145 million expansion of its manufacturing plant in Sagamu, Ogun State.
The investment will increase annual production capacity from 3.3 million to 9.9 million square meters, while creating 300 additional direct jobs on top of the more than 200 employees already working at the facility
The expansion also aims to reduce Nigeria's dependence on imported building materials, increase the use of locally sourced raw materials and position Veenocks as a major supplier to African markets.
Adebisi Adebutu, who heads R28 Holdings, is seeking to build a globally competitive Nigerian manufacturer capable of meeting European quality standards.

Harcourt Whyte (born Abonnema, Kalabari) composed hundreds of Igbo hymns at Uzuakoli and is widely called the father of Igbo church music. Osadebe was Igbo from Atani and released a tribute to Rex Lawson (Kalabari, Igbo mother). Garrick Sokari Braide, Kalabari, led the early 1910s Christ Army revival that boosted indigenous Christianity and conversions across the Delta into Igbo areas.
