THE YORUBA RACE WILL BOUNCE BACK INTO THE PDP 4 SURE

Mumucious poster

Forget mainstream, this is the precursor to self rule and regional governance.

Yoruba is showing the way forward. Others need to learn from it.

^^^^^ Self rule? I laugh in olodowa oduduwa

You mean self-infliction?

This is almost correct:



But "haters" should be swapped out for heeboes. Then again, the two terms are synonymous.

As I have often repeated, Hausa controls title and position, but Yoruba is truly the political house of the Nation.

We control and define whether this country splits or hold together.

Until we give the okay . . . . .nothing happens in the polity. Igbo is too tied up with spare parts and pills to care or even understand that ndigbo ascension to power does not happen until Yoruba has given the green light for it.

You couldnt resist taking a cheap shot could ya? Thought you were different

No sir, I'm only human. I'll respond in the same manner. Tit for tit, an eye for an eye is one of my guiding principles.

Anyway, no offense intended to you specifically, I don't think we've ever had any negative interactions on this forum.

Dont mean to preach but eye for an eye is a soul sapping, never ending exercise. Rather be the bigger man and knock the particular jackass out. lol. Abeg you are one smart guy dont let ''us vs them'' stain your soul. cheers dude

Tribalism is such a great issue in Nigeria. The reason zik, Awo, Tafawa and the lot of them are so praised is because they acted in favour of their indegenous ethnic group and never directly acted in the interest of the whole. They can not be faulted as we operated a regional system back then but now that we have a national system where the president is elected by all nigerians we should do away with tribalism because opposition's should not be about about yoruba vs hausa vs igbo

Good Yarn. You seem to belong to the small minority (considering how Nigeria voted) who have a very clear understanding or what really matters in the quest to secure development . I laugh at those calling the PDP a National Party just because it conveniently assist their desire to malign the ACN as a "tribal" Party.

Aside being a congregation of thieves from all corners of Nigeria, as attested to by even the USA , what is "national" about the leadership style of the PDP? This is a Party where power is used deleteriously to aid nepotism, cronyism , "padi padi", "business as usual" et al. This is the same Party that made a former Hairdresser the Speaker of the House of Rep (Etteh) and thus the fourth most powerful Nigerian when more eminently qualified Nigerians abound!!!!

We have just had a minister confirmed who cannot even speak English properly !!!Are we to talk about the misrule of the PDP for the past 12 years? While America and discerning observers , home and abroad, continuously shout that the PDP is a congregation of self-serving Vultures , from all corners of Nigeria, the "original sufferheads" themselves (brainwashed Nigerians) are busy proclaiming the Devilish gang a "National Party". We have a long way to go with how we cannot even minimally see through the childishly rudimentary divide-and-conquer ruse our leaders use to distract us while they continue their looting.

Just look at pictures taken of our senators or our Ministers after cabinet meetings. Individuals who are Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Gwari, Idoma et al are all laughing wildly together. They are laughing all the way to the bank . They are laughing at the collective ignorance of the man in the street who prefers to fight his fellow poor man he perceives an enemy , merely because he is from another region, rather than confront our thieving and indolent leaders. Most of all, they are laughing at how their crude divide-and-conquer tactics is working well. A Party that sees through the ruse is then labelled a "tribal Party" . The joke is on all the "original sufferheads" who are working with bastardized thinking to the extent that they proclaim what is wrong to be right and vice versa.

Then you are not conversant with NL. Bear started as a cool fresh Air but not long after he won the politics poster whatever he transformed into an ethnic champion. Even attempts by Jarus to restrain him and keep him as the face of the forum yielded little dividend. Many times I cringe when I see otherwise brilliant contributors succumb to the primordial sentiments and make themselves no longer brilliant. I have tried calling many of them back but it seems futile. Just enjoy your NL experience and leave them to their promordial e-battles.
