Commendable effort, but Sapara, Ola Rotimi, Femi OteDollar & Okebukola are not from this state. You may add Efunsetan Aniwura, historical Icon & Iyalode of Ibadan |

Obviously the next president that is yoruba can not be from ogun state... It is obvious to see that.. that is what they are trying to tell you. it boil down to who the state give contract, It means ogun state give his people state contract that why they are doing well. and ondo state dont do that. And who they give the political appointment in the federal cabinet and state. The issue is the state most have a program to enrich its citizen.. And this is clearly what state like ondo state, osun for example are not doing. |

Expect haters to bombard this thread with some dead references and Wikipedia to display their hating skills Being serious now, Ogun state is not in the class of any state in Nigeria. That state has produced the best of the bests in politics(Awo,Obj, MKO...) and the most vibrant activists Entertainment Industry they dominates, took African Music to the world(Fela, Asa, Koko master......) They've got the highest concentration of learning institutions and religion centers in the country. Professors and brains in education they have them in thousands(Africas First winner of Nobel prize - Soyinka). Not sure of have the highest Professors between them and Ekiti. How can I forget this: the most visited site in Africa is owned by omo Ogun (Seun Osewa) The state with highest amount of Billionaires in Nigeria in US$(Just Three in Nigeria and Two are from Ogun). Ogun oni baje o. hope I am correct sha. Whatever... 5 Likes |

there is no state in Nigeria, i repeat, there is no state in Nigeria that has produced 3 presidents fore this country. olusegun obasanjo is arguably the longest serving president, Ernest Shonekan and MKO ABIOLA. moreso, the greatest philospher to have ever come out of Nigeria, obafemi awolowo was also an ogun indigene. combine every states in IGBOLAND, lets see if they have ever produced a genuine president.....

dolphinife: there is no state in Nigeria, i repeat, there is no state in Nigeria that has produced 3 presidents fore this country. olusegun obasanjo is arguably the longest serving president, Ernest Shonekan and MKO ABIOLA. IF Producing a president in a country like Nigeria is a big deal then Nigeria has some real issues. mind you igbos produced the first ever Governor General of Nigeria and the first President of Nigeria and C in C (Nnamdi Azikiwe the only Nigerian whose name was mentioned in the constitution), the first military head of states the first chief of Armys Satff (JTU ironsi), the first Senate president and first senate president to assume to position of president of Nigeria (Nwafor Orizu) which igbos don't go about counting as a big deal, Igbos produced the first President of an independent country which lived for 30 months and was recognized by Some countries. igbos actual regard producing first this and that in a failing country as a big loss A situation where you go about fantasizing of some bogus under achievements, boasting about some phantom Billionaires who made their money from Government patronage and can not sustain that wealth when there is a change of Government or boasting about an uproven advantage in having more medical doctors than other zones even when statistics prove other wise and coming to Nairaland to force people to swallow your figures without any convincing evidence is really appalling. nothing 6 Likes |
