A KEKE RIDER

You rejected a loving guy because you said he's poor.; he is a Keke Rider. This guy is hardworking, but meanwhile, you're jobless. Your only job is that you're beautiful.😒

The guy's Keke is sold for 1.5 million, and he makes more than 20k every week, and you only make money when men send you money. 

He has an apartment of his own, and you're staying in someone else's house. 

He uses a cheap Android phone but pays his own bills, but you use an expensive iPhone and need people to send you data.

He sends money to home from time to time, but you ask your father and brothers for money when men don't give you.😑

The truth is that the guy isn't poor. You are the poor one.

He has a promising future, but your future rests behind your back and on your chest.

The next time you see a hustler, respect him. A Hustler is better than a pretender.

I come in peace shaa 

Guys should I ride on??

MODAKÈKÈ IFE

History of MODAKEKE Ilé Ife Osun.

Modakeke is a town near Ilé Ifẹ̀ in Osun State, South-West Nigeria, with nearly 500,000 inhabitants who are predominantly farmers and warriors. The town is about 45 kilometres from Osogbo, capital of Osun State and 90 kilometres from Ibadan in Oyo a state. Modakeke came into existence in 1945 after the fall of the Oyo Empire, below is a brief history of Modakeke town.

The whole of Yorubaland was thrown into chaos and confusion after the Oyo Empire fell to the Fulanis in 1835. The inhabitants of Oyo ran for safety and therefore were dispersed across Yorubaland, some founding new settlements and others, joining existing settlements like Ile-Ife. A group of Oyo refugees settled in Ile-Ife to begin a new life which unknowing to them will later birth the town called Modakeke.

On getting to Ile-Ife, they have already lost all their possessions and then took up menial jobs in the town. They also got recruited in the Ife army and it was through their bravery that Ife had its territory extended to Alakowe, its present boundary with Ilesa. They started growing and producing different types of food crops on farmlands given to them by their Ife people.

The then reigning Ooni of Ife, Oba Akinmoyero, received the Oyo refugees well and later gave them an expanse of land to live. The name Modakeke was adopted after consultation with the oracle which directed them to go to Ebu-Alako near Oke-Owu where they met a swarm of Ako (Stork) birds. The name was derived from the cries of the storks (Mo-da-ke-ke-ke-ke). This is also the origin of the appellation Akoraye (the stork has a place) and since the founding of Modakeke, eighteen traditional heads known as ‘Ogunsua’ had ruled the town.

valuable lesson

This water bottle at the provision shop is worth 100 Naira. 

The same bottle at a hotel is 200 Naira,  at the airport its 300 Naira and at some hotel  is 1,000 Naira Only 

Same bottle, same brand; the only thing that changes is the place.

Each place gives a different value to the same item.

When you feel worthless, change places, don't stay there.

Have the courage to change your circle of influence and go to a place that sees your value.

Surround yourself with people who appreciate your worth.

BADAGRY HISTORY

HISTORY OF BADAGRY

Badagry, a coastal community in Lagos State, prides itself as cradle of civi­lization in Nigeria. Believed to have been founded in 1425 A.D, the town derived its name from the fusion of the name of its founder, a famous farm­er known as Agbedeh and the word “Greme”, which means farm in Ogu (Egun) language. Originally, the name of the town which is situated between the city of Lagos, and the bor­der of Republic of Benin at Seme was said to have evolved from the dual corruption of Agbedegreme (which means Agbedeh’s farm in “Ogu” lan­guage) to Agbedagari and from Agbedagari to Badagry by Yoruba settlers and European slave traders respectively.

Badagry is a monarchy headed by the Wheno Aholuship, a king­ship head by the Akran of Badagry and his seven white cap high chiefs. The white cap chiefs administer the eight quarters which Badagry is di­vided into. These divisions are Aho­vikoh, Boekoh, Jegba, Posukoh, Awhanjigo, Asago, Whalako and Ganho. These quarters and the fam­ilies that ruled them played promi­nent roles in the slave trade business with the Europeans and Brazilians.

Around 1600, the ancient city of Badagry was reputed as a thriving community for trade in salt. But this legitimate trade soon gave way to the obnoxious slave trade and for its first four hundred years of exis­tence, slave trade dominated all oth­er commercial interests in Badagry. The town became host to European slave traders led by George Fre­emingo, a Portuguese slave mer­chant who came to Badagry around 1660s. By 1740 Badagry had be­come a thriving town for slave trade. It grew to an important com­mercial centre flourishing on the export of slaves through the creeks and lagoon.

Effort to stop the obnoxious trade received a major boost when the treaty for the abolition of slave trade was signed in March 1852 be­tween England and Badagry chiefs. Some cannons of war were donat­ed to the chiefs to be placed at the coastal area to fight other European countries that were still coming to get slaves. However, the trade con­tinued illegally and the export of slaves steadily increased. The Bra­zilians became the major slave mer­chants during this period. Howev­er, in 1888 the last ship left Badagry to Brazil and this marked the end of the trade in Badagry, Brazil and around the world.

From the 1840s, following the suppression of slave trade Badagry declined significantly and would later become a major site of Chris­tian missionary work. Christiani­ty was first preached in Nigeria in Badagry in 1842 by Rev Thomas Birch Freeman, who equally cele­brated the first Christmas in Nigeria the following year. The site where Christianity was first preached then is now known as the Agiya Tree Monument. The 160 ft tall Agiya tree was felled by a heavy wind­storm in 1959. To underscore the significance of this site, the Agiya Tree Monument was set up on the same parcel of land where the tree stood.

The first educational system in Nige­ria as a British colony started in Badagry where the first primary school was estab­lished by the Wesleyan Mission (Meth­odist Church) in 1843 and named Nurs­ery of Infant Church which later became St. Thomas’ Anglican Nursery and Pri­mary School, founded by Rev. Golmer of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in 1845 and operated inside the first storey building in Badagry.

A number of other historical facilities including educational institutions later sprang up in Badagry until 1955 when the missionaries left the town uncere­moniously due to a misunderstanding between them and the natives. In 1863, Badagry was annexed by the United Kingdom and incorporated into the La­gos Colony. In 1901 it became a part of Nigeria.
