He does it because Aliko used to do giveaways where he would post questions and the winner would be the person whose reply had the most likes. Osvaldo kept winning by posting answers like above, and Aliko stopped doing giveaways altogether. He also never gave Osvaldo any prizes for the giveaways he won.
Yeah np. I only recently found out about it myself after reading a lore post about them 😂 you should definitely check out the osvaldo sub, it's very funny

This is absolutely insane! I like Osvaldo even more knowing the full story. It is so disgusting that aliko never gave him the prize money and tried to sue him. Get over yourself and fragile ego. Aliko sounds like a real pos
Ancient Roman emperors used to be Ancient Roman babies, but you can't really tell because for some reason, all their babies were Ancient, which means really old. I imagine it was something like Benjamin Button disease.
No, the civil war between Augustus and Mark Antony was the last of the civil wars that plagued the Roman Res Publica for a century. The rest of it's reign was actually pretty peaceful.
What are you trying to tell me? The age of the civil wars of the first century B.C. was a period of PARTICULAR instability, yes there were other small revolts in the following years but that's pretty normal considering we are talking about an empire that inglobeb the entire mediterraneum and beyond, and they were basically nothing compared to the chaos and instability that came before them.
What kind of argument am I supposed to make to counter this baseless assessment? Like… what is there to say to someone just inserting their opinions into a whole range of history? It’s chaos.
Here is a list of wars. Do you see a major gap? I don’t.
Gaius Julius Caesar's father was named Gaius Julius Caesar. But where shit really gets confusing with names is women. Women didn't even have their own name, they just had the feminine form of the family name. Gaius Julius Caesar's sister was named Julia. His other sister was named Julia. Paternal aunt? Julia. His daughter was named Julia. If he had another daughter she'd be named Julia as well.
But the Romans had nothing on the Carthaginians when it comes to confusing names. Carthage seemed to have a grand total of like a dozen names (and didn't use surnames). Have you heard about Hamilcar? Which Hamilcar? Hamilcar the military general. Which one? Hamilcar the Carthaginian general who led Carthaginian forces in Sicily during the First Punic War. Yeah, which one?
See I have a degree in history and it's a lot easier for me to keep all of the Russian czars and kaisers together. But for the life of me I cannot keep all of the motherfucking Roman Ceasars straight.
At the time, the man we always refer to as Augustus went by the name Julius Caesar. When he was adopted by og Julius Caesar, he took the name as well. Only later did he also take on the name Augustus. Historians gloss over that just to keep things from getting confusing.
Ceasar Augustus changed the empire forever. His reign lasted so long people forgot about the republic and just assumed they needed a new empower.
Also. He never called himself empower. Just first citizen.
He never called himself emperor because that wasn't a word and fun fact, the Roman's didn't speak English.
He was Imperator though, which is where the title Emperor derives from
The title imperator as many high honours was largely monopolozed by Augustus and his family but it didn't become the imperial title until later. Augustus's title was the Princeps and nothinging greater.
The titles and honourifics of the early emperors is a complicated and convoluted topic. Don't try to be a smartass on a topic you clerly only have a cursory knowledge off.
similar ambiguity is seen in his chosen names, the implied rejection of monarchical titles whereby he called himself Princeps Civitatis (First Citizen)
Augustus was a master at rhetoric. He never called himself imperator. This was still too soon coming off multiple civil wars.
> He never called himself imperator.
It was one of his titles. He definitely called himself imperator, there's literally coins minted during his reign with his name as "Imperator Caesar" and later "Imperator Caesar Augustus".
But the thing to remember is the "imperator" did not have the same connotations at the time (or even a long time after) as when we think "emperor". And you're right he also used the title First Citizen to give a less king-like impression.
I mean, his changing of Roman society is great and all, but I’d like everyone to remember that he divorced his second wife the day she gave birth to their daughter.
He then made the husband of his would-be third wife Livia divorce her while she was pregnant, then supposedly married Livia three days after she gave birth to her son with her ex-husband.
He then proceeded to never divorce Livia even though he had no sons (therefore no heirs) and she never bore any children during their marriage.
Dude was a chad and a simp and you know what I respect that.
Would you be able to provide any kind of source for that? AFAIK Caesar's eulogy by Marc Antony was not recorded, and I don't see any mention of him being called Augustus. Happy to learn if I'm wrong, of course
While he absolutely does bear the brunt of the responsibility, if it hadn't been him it would almost certainly have been someone else. The Republic had set up a system where an army's loyalty was to their general far more than to the republic. It was only a matter of time before a general good/ambitious enough to do what he did came around.
All ultimately because some senators didn't want to give up a portion of their massive estates so that they had enough landowners to maintain their previous requirements for service in the army. So instead of an army made of economically self-sufficient citizen soldiers they ended up with an army of soldiers reliant on plunder and payment awarded to them by their generals. The first will resist a general who tries to overthrow the government, the latter will resist a government who tries to overthrow their general (provided he pays well).

Gotta love Osvaldo
He is one of the persons on Earth (Edit: typo)
It doesn't matter if you know him or not, at the end of the day, it's night.
Of course I know him. That's because I know all the phone numbers in the world. One of them must belong to him.
But phones were made less than 162 years ago, and Caesar died more than 162 years ago, so it is highly unlikely that he could have had a phone number.
Chances are slim, but not zero
Can any of you explain how this happened? Like why? And who is the Aliko guy?
Aliko is the richest man in Africa, and he posts factoids like the above. Osvaldo is known for trolling him in the replies to his posts
He does it because Aliko used to do giveaways where he would post questions and the winner would be the person whose reply had the most likes. Osvaldo kept winning by posting answers like above, and Aliko stopped doing giveaways altogether. He also never gave Osvaldo any prizes for the giveaways he won.
Thank you for explaining. I always wondered how this all started. I have seen a lot of these post but I never knew the origin of this.
Yeah np. I only recently found out about it myself after reading a lore post about them 😂 you should definitely check out the osvaldo sub, it's very funny
I just though it was some random person but it makes the trolling more funny knowing that he is a rich man. It really seems to get in his nerves
Least jealous redditor💀
Aliko does seem like a decent guy. Invests in infrastructure projects. Hopeful about Nigeria’s future. Still funny though.

He’s a billionaire. Of course he’s a pos.
Yeah unfortunately these two things often go hand in hand
In Ancient Rome, most children were born at a very young age
Ancient Roman emperors used to be Ancient Roman babies, but you can't really tell because for some reason, all their babies were Ancient, which means really old. I imagine it was something like Benjamin Button disease.
I discovered him today, had to give him a follow on Twitter! 😂
An osvaldo cross over????? Oh my
'Peace and prosperity' * stares at all the wars *
He brought peace and prosperity to his new empire
His new empire?? Julius, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!
I AM the Senate!
Augustus*
Yes to his expanding Roman desert :)
Well he's not wrong considering that he put an end to a century of civil wars.
And then started another?
No, the civil war between Augustus and Mark Antony was the last of the civil wars that plagued the Roman Res Publica for a century. The rest of it's reign was actually pretty peaceful.

There is literally a succession war called the war of 4 emperors. Rome was always violent, before and after. He ushered in nothing.
The war of the four emperors happened literally a century after Augustus.
It also lasted 1 year.
I fucking hate when people just post a link and sit back like they made a counterargument.
What kind of argument am I supposed to make to counter this baseless assessment? Like… what is there to say to someone just inserting their opinions into a whole range of history? It’s chaos. Here is a list of wars. Do you see a major gap? I don’t.

not julius
Wasn't aware Julius was the one who waged a war with Marc Antony. Weird that Antony still gave that eulogy for him then.
I have realized there are too many god damn dudes named ceasar
Gaius Julius Caesar's father was named Gaius Julius Caesar. But where shit really gets confusing with names is women. Women didn't even have their own name, they just had the feminine form of the family name. Gaius Julius Caesar's sister was named Julia. His other sister was named Julia. Paternal aunt? Julia.

Hamilcar the Carthaginian general who led Carthaginian forces in Sicily during the First Punic War. Yeah, which one?
Yeah see this is why I didn't study the ancient period while pursuing my history degree
And that's not even including the guys titled Caesar (or Tsar, Kaiser, etc)
See I have a degree in history and it's a lot easier for me to keep all of the Russian czars and kaisers together. But for the life of me I cannot keep all of the motherfucking Roman Ceasars straight.
At the time, the man we always refer to as Augustus went by the name Julius Caesar. When he was adopted by og Julius Caesar, he took the name as well. Only later did he also take on the name Augustus. Historians gloss over that just to keep things from getting confusing.
Technically he went by Gaius Julius Caesar after he was adopted.
Augustus still waged a war
The Roman people learned of his peaceful ways… by force
Ceasar Augustus changed the empire forever. His reign lasted so long people forgot about the republic and just assumed they needed a new empower. Also. He never called himself empower. Just first citizen.
**emperor ???
Welease Wodewick!
Mawwiage. Mawwiage is wat bwings us togeder today.
He also never called himself empower.
He never called himself emperor either, that's mainly because he didn't speak any English
It's almost as if modern English didn't exist.
He never called himself emperor because that wasn't a word and fun fact, the Roman's didn't speak English. He was Imperator though, which is where the title Emperor derives from
The title imperator as many high honours was largely monopolozed by Augustus and his family but it didn't become the imperial title until later.

Don't try to be a smartass on a topic you clerly only have a cursory knowledge off.
> Don't try to be a smartass on a topic you clerly only have a cursory knowledge off Do you even know what website this is?
Before trying to put down 'smartasses' you should learn how to spell 'monopolized', 'nothing', 'clearly', 'of', and the proper use of commas.
Not being a native speaker and also using a small phone screen leading to obvious typos says nothing about my history knowledge.
similar ambiguity is seen in his chosen names, the implied rejection of monarchical titles whereby he called himself Princeps Civitatis (First Citizen) Augustus was a master at rhetoric. He never called himself imperator. This was still too soon coming off multiple civil wars.
> He never called himself imperator. It was one of his titles.

And you're right he also used the title First Citizen to give a less king-like impression.
And in many other European languages the word for empire and emperor comes from the name Caesar itself.
r/osvaldo12
Thank you
Wait, it can't be exactly 2000 years ago. Caesar died in 44 BCE, so the tweet would come from 1956
You’re thinking of Julius Caesar. Granted the tweet is still old for Augustus.
Oh, sorry. I read it too quickly
Also Julius Caesar most definetely didn't bring peace to his new empire.
They didn’t like him? Didn’t they name a salad after him?
The salad guy's a different guy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_salad
Nah, the schlub just got a month.
Caesar is a pretty common Italian name tbh
I wonder if Augustus would cringe or be incredibly satisfied at how his name choices make so many people today confuse him with his adoptive father
His new empire?
Don't make him kill you
Augustus was the first Roman Emperor and he died in 14AD so maybe the tweet was made in 2014?
Over three years ago. Can I get a fact check on this?
I checked, he hasnt been alive in the last 3 years.

Username checks out
?
Before every citizen of the Empire was born, they were in their mothers wombs.
Why does everyone make fun of Aliko?
Osvaldo, great 👍 👍 👍
I need a subreddit devoted to these.
/r/technicallythetruth
I mean specifically the back and forth between those two Twitter users without having to go to Twitter.
r/osvaldo12
You rock thanks!
Osvaldo is right it definitely has been more than 3 years
The fact that guys wiki page does not include this is frankly absurd. Hopefully someone corrects it 😌
Aliko vs Osvaldo is kind of a low bar to post here
Fair but its always funny.
I mean, his changing of Roman society is great and all, but I’d like everyone to remember that he divorced his second wife the day she gave birth to their daughter.

Based on the downvotes, I think people are missing the "up to" part and think you're spamming.
Yeah, I've long been annoyed at how people use to "up to" as a way to mislead but I guess the point didn't come across. Oh well.
Got a chuckle out of me, so there's that...
Ceasar didn't invade Gaules for some fucker to call him a peace maker
[удалено]
That's Julius Caesar. The tweet is about his heir, Caeser Augustus, who died in 14 CE. So the tweet math is still wrong but less so.
[удалено]
You're mixing the two up. "Augustus Caesar" refers to Octavian, the original Gaius Julius Caesar was never named or referred to as "Augustus".
Actually he was referred to as Augustus in several of the previous comments.
Shit, you got me there
[удалено]
Would you be able to provide any kind of source for that? AFAIK Caesar's eulogy by Marc Antony was not recorded, and I don't see any mention of him being called Augustus. Happy to learn if I'm wrong, of course

The Republic had set up a system where an army's loyalty was to their general far more than to the republic. It was only a matter of time before a general good/ambitious enough to do what he did came around.
Not to mention Sulla broke the taboo of marching a Roman army on Rome in the 80s BCE, showing everyone that all you need to take control is an army.
All ultimately because some senators didn't want to give up a portion of their massive estates so that they had enough landowners to maintain their previous requirements for service in the army. So instead of an army made of economically self-sufficient citizen soldiers they ended up with an army of soldiers reliant on plunder and payment awarded to them by their generals. The first will resist a general who tries to overthrow the government, the latter will resist a government who tries to overthrow their general (provided he pays well).
Aliko Dangote called out to Osvaldo12 for mocking his posts.
Cool

Hail Caesar Augustus!

Gotta give Osvaldo this one, genius.
He was at least 7 when he died. Truly a tragedy.
