I just hope that these kinds of thread are re-visited after the 2015 elections. It would make a good laughing thread. 2 Likes |

Obiagelli:You're still depending on nairaland to make your political inference instead of personally going there and feel the pulse of the masses. Is it not the same kwara where PDP defeated APC in an election recently? You must be a hard-headed illiterate. |

PapaBrowne: If you really live among us here as you claimed...then you would have come to realize that we don't put much emphasis on religion but our language bind us together more than religion. The religion card is dead on arrival as GEJ is candidate for PDP. 1 Like |

Orlando Owoh: I know that very well. I am not talking about difference in Religion amongst Yoruba. In the eyes of even other Nigerians, nobody sees differences btw Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Christians. But everybody sees a huge difference between a Northern Christian and a Northern Muslim. Fashola would have a better showing in Ibo land than Fayemi who is the only Yoruba Christian Governor. What I am talking about is not Fashola or Yoruba Muslims. I am talking about a Hausa/ Fulani Muslim atop the ticket. Even you guys that are speaking are not going to be motivated to vote when the time comes. The only reason you would come out is to see GEJ doesnt win. You surely wouldn't be motivated if Senator Yerima is Paired atop with Fashola below, would you? By the way, Yerima is a big time APC member. I am here for intelligent discussions and analysis not sentimental and biased dispositions. Lets make the lead up to 2015 more interesting such that we would discuss more about issues and less about persons. |

PapaBrowne: Guess what...all your apprehensions..concerns...fears and other sensibilities are known already....just wait and watch as events unfold. We are the one in the supposed dilemma....we also know that in the absence of tangible achievements to market that religion is a mischief that PDP is banking on.....we know that very well. |

PapaBrowne: Fashola on the ticket is enough to galvanize the Yorubas even if he is paired with Saddam hussein Yorubas can identify with their man on the ticket. A man we know, A man we trust to protect our interest at the center APC comes to yorubaland, Fashola does most of the speaking in our language in a language we understand without an interpreter Its all celebration when we roll out our drums eat our Amala and Ofemmannnu, with our tribal marks and shitt in nylon bag Even core born again Yorubas would vote him over a Jonathan Peter Obi 2 xtian tickets. We are Yorubas we identify with our people first. Currently the voice of Fashola in Yorubaland is golden. Thats all we need to hear 2 parties contesting 1 has the dear son of Yorubas one doesnt have any Yoruba in their ticket not even a single respectable Yoruba on their train except ex convict Bode george, unknown Olubolade and Kashamu, useless alao-akala. To ruin everything the party is called PDP? Open and close case. |

ilugunboy: You are getting the whole point wrong. I am from Edo state and there, we have Muslims and Christians live side by side with zero differences. Adams Oshiomole's parents(Father is late) are very strong Muslims. Infact not only do we lay zero emphasis on religion, we lay no emphasis on tribe as well. Binis voted overwhemingly for Oshiomole(Etsako) against a Bini candidate. The Oba even supported Oshiomole against a Bini man. So I totally understand what you mean when you say Yorubas dont pay attention to religion amongst themselves. But to the religion coming from Northern Nigeria, hmmmmm.....a lot of attention is paid. Even Yoruba muslims sef dey fear that kind Northern Islam. So my point is that a Northern Muslim atop the ticket paired with Fashola will make Fashola instantly redundant. 3 Likes |

In 1993, MKO was paired with Baba gana Kingibe on a Moslem-Moslem ticket. The opposition flooded the SW with rumours that MKO sunk a shipload of bibles Guess what? MKO still got over 70% votes in all SW states Once he spoke in Yoruba to us, we immediately identified with him and voted en masse for our son 1 Like |

Isnt it CAN- pdp religious propaganda machine led by orisa jefor, that is instigating the whole imbroglio. Aregbeshola, the governor of osun state is a moslem but his children are christians. Alot of osun indigenes both christians and moslems are devotees of the osun-osogbo goddess. Alot of secondary school students in osun both christians and moslems can recite some corpus in the Ifa divination. Yorubas are cosmopolitan in their religious outlook, using religious diffrences as a campaign strategy in yorubaland can never work |

atlwireles: If religion is not important in the SW, why the noise in Osun State? The noise is because, the Gov was thought to be overstepping his bounds and they made him realise, this is Yorubaland. He had to go to church and address CAN and that was the end. |

atlwireles: If religion is not important in the SW, why the noise in Osun State? You ppl that dont know Yorubas keep making a mistake about religion in Yorubaland Most of us have associated with all 3 religions at some point in time. My father was a baptist xtian, his auntie was a Moslem and in their compound they have Egungun they worshipped and ppl bring sacrifice to. I was raised Baptist, I am currently pentecostal I have celebrated Ileya with family and friends, And i have attended the Osun osogbo festival at least 3 times earlier in life. Check most Yorubas when they have any problem they go from Pastor to Alfas to traditional worshippers. We are Polytheist Most Yoruba xtians have family members who worship Ogun. all xtians and Moslems, In Ijebu attend Ojude Oba, In Lagos they carry Eyo etc Adeboye, Oyedepo Kumuyi, Olukoya I am certain all have all 3 religions in their extended family |

solomon111: You're still depending on nairaland to make your political inference instead of personally going there and feel the pulse of the masses.PDP defeated APC after the defection? Do you know the reason why the security details of Senator Saraki was withdrawn? He was instrumental in GEJ victory in the state, not because GEJ was so popular. It wont happen again in 2015. I bet you those elected Chairmen and councillors on the platform of PDP are now APC members by virtue of the defection. I suggest you should come down to Kwara yourself and conduct a survey on the performance of GEJ so far and the perception of the masses about him. |

atlwireles: If religion is not important in the SW, why the noise in Osun State?Leave this thread, you don't know what is being discussed. Religion is strong force in the SW but it doesn't block the sense of reasoning of the Yoruba. It is not uncommon for you to see in a Yoruba family where the father is traditionalist, the mother is moslem, the first child is RCCG, the second child is MFM and the third child is C&S. |

dayokanu: In 1993, MKO was paired with Baba gana Kingibe on a Moslem-Moslem ticket. The article below is fresh from today. I saw it here on Nairaland. Many Church leaders in the South West would read it and it would be raised as Prayer points in Churches across Yoruba Land. While you are thinking about the Yoruba race many Yorubas are thinking about the Christian race. Bus loads of Ibos troop to Redemption camp and Deeper life and TB Joshua and MFM not minding that the leaders are Yoruba. Bus loads of Yoruba troop to Christ Embassy, TREM and Chosen. They don't care about tribe. Their faith comes first. The article below would see them voting against any Muslim Muslim ticket. We have to face realities. Religion and Ethnicity plays a huge role in politics even in America. We all know that what is called the Bible belt will almost always vote Republican while inner city blacks will almost always vote democrats. Its no different in Nigeria. Strategists would do themselves a disservice if they ignore these facts.
