You should also vote out your LG Chairmen and Governors and put Hausa/ Fulani who are ''altruistic, pragmatic, and competent individuals in government'' grin. If this guy knows the mind of a typical hausa/fulani man when it comes to politics, he will not vomit the trash. What stops the SW from voting out their incapable leader and voting in another SW?
They made their best choice.. common this 2014, why are u dragging us back to The 80's. I pray By 2030, That Shit called Tribe would be scraped Up. It's has Caused us lots of Damage already.

if naija politics is deviod of tribalism n ethnicity or religion and if theres decency at all especially at da HOR,then tambowal wud've been history b4 now(not as though his porting arsse is free),the members of the house,the majority, which includes northerners in da pdp and other minority parties wudda've impeached him..but whats da case now,those northerners have kinda put party affilliations aside and as usual and expected hoisted da goddamm flag of ethnicity and tribe cos they know the value and importance of da position of da speakership..dogs in yoruba land who made that devil's mistake '11 oughtta've known better..as far as those northerners are concerned within and among themselves,u guys are stuppid..history and posterity will hardly forgive u cos u loud sounding barrels betrayed urselves, southern nigeria(ns) and every other oppressed and suppressed nigerian..
U should've known better than burying ur head in da sands like da brainless and 'idealess' ostrich thinking ur arsse is free in da midst of impending and present danger..

Nonsense!

When Patricia Etteh was the Speaker, what was the benefit to the SW?

When Dimeji Bankole was the Speaker, did that make SW better of?

Oh wait! When OBJ was the President, did that make Lagos-Ibadan road any better?


Yoruba have realized that having one of your own there, does not guarantee you positive impact.

The advocacy now is to vote altruistic, pragmatic, and competent individuals in government, regardless of religion and ethnicity.
pls since when Fulani has been there what has change in their lives

What problem do you people have with Yoruba self, writing this meaningless, nonsense and endless article all in the name of getting us to vote for Jonathan. Sorry to inform you, it won't work..... What kindof people do you think we are self? Do you bother to examine our culture and history @all? My advise for you is this, try and understand the ideology of the yorubas then you will understand what made us thick.
We are sophisticated to understand cheap blackmail and whitemail if there anything like that, we know how to play self politically, we see people for who they are, or you think we don't know that Tinubu is a thief? But his also a safer option compared to Obasanjo and believe me, we know Buhari is no saint either but he's still mines better than Jonathan. My advice for you is vote for who you want and we will vote for who we desire.
What's is our ideology
Playing second fiddle?
Upon how we Yoruba are vast in education
All our politicians prefer to fight for d governor, senator,house of reps seats
Pls when last did any Yoruba legislator actually contributed meanifully to matter raise on d floor or move a motion that will benefit Yoruba(even if they move it,it won't pass 2nd reading)
All they do is sit,let others contribute when itz tym for those for the motion say HI those again say NAY itz den u will see them moving there mouth
Who will take such pple serious.. Thank God 1to 3 is nw contributing
Yet sum Yorubas will be shouting gej is clueless
An adage says ”osi nibe onibawon na shey pin"(u refuse to be involved yet u questioning the outcome)
Just because of trying to show Hw diplomatic and hw learned we are then refused to be part of d govt at the top
As much as competency is needed in top positions
Nothing can justify that we Yoruba can't produce better leaders up their
Northerners won't sell their birth right....but yoruba give them a Ghana must go and d case is settled
Yet a call to wake up from our slumber and gainfully contribute to our nation growth is our TERM BIGOTRY

YORUBA'S DECISION FOR TAMBUWAL IS IN THE INTEREST OF NIGERIA.
PDP CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT IMPOSE SPEAKER OR SENATE PRESIDENT.
HE MAY BE A SENATOR/REPS UNDER PDP'S FLAG, BUT WHO BECOMES THE OCCUPIER OF EITHER POSITION SHOULD BE LEFT FOR THEM TO DECIDE.
YORUBA ARE POLITICALLY ENLIGHTENED TO UNDERSTAND THAT BEYOND SENTIMENT, WE CHERISH IMPACT AND PERFORMANCE.
WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN SAYING OUR SON IS THE PRESIDENT WHEN LAGOS-IBADAN EXPRESSWAY IS IN UTTER DISREPAIR.
WE DO NOT PRIDE ON OUR SON IS THE SPEAKER WHEN ROADS IN HIS CONSTITUENCY ARE LOOKING MORE LIKE GRAVES THAN GULLY.
WHETHER FROM NORTH, SOUTH OR EAST, YORUBA WILL SUPPORT WHOEVER IS NOT IMPOSED ON PEOPLE.

Some yoruba people don kolo! I didn't see anywhere the write-up canvassed for a jonathan re-election. Dude I think u're allowing ur hatred for jonathan to get the better of u. Actually u sound like an idi0t. The message in that post is that the time has come for the yoruba nation to rise up to the occasion and rally round to get a southwesterner voted in as speaker of the house of reps following tambuwal's defection
Its time for the yoruba to take back what righfully belongs to them. I don't know who told them that mulikat akande will not deliver better leadership than tambuwal. Smh for some yoruba people. They've been utterly brainwashed to swallow every ish from tinubu

Just re-read that long epistle again and tell me where u saw 'vote for jonathan'... This thing is becoming sickening!

Mubi,the biggest commercial town in Adamawa state, was thrown into chaos the day
Boko Haram descended on them and the people found themselves running for their lives.
The terrorists shot sporadically, killing a lot of people while those who could escape
jumped into any available car to run to safety.
Christians,Muslims, Igbos, Yorubas, Tivs, Hausas and any tribe or religion,
jumped onto any vehicle that was headed outside the town.
Soldiers scampered onto trucks with civilians, begging to be saved,
hundreds of people who could not get a vehicle ran into the hills.
In their frantic effort to stay alive, no one paid attention to anybody's religion
or ethnicity before asking them for help or helping them to stay alive.
It was a community of people, united by their desire to
escape the common enemy that hunted them all without discrimination.
Ethnicity and religion vanished, all they were left with was their humanity. Those climbing the hills stayed
together, helping one another stay on their feet
as they all tried to survive.

The most interesting part of the narrative is that
the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Badeh is from the same town of Mubi.
It has been reported that few hours before the attack, helicopters flew in and evacuated his family
members from the town. The chief of Defence staff by the way,
is the most senior military officer in Nigeria and he controls the army, navy and air force. Before that sad day,
someone from Mubi would have boasted that
the Chief of Defence Staff is from their home town.
But on the day that it mattered the most, he
evacuated only his family members and abandoned everyone else to their fate.
It means he had information of the Impending attack and
as the most senior military commander,
he did not fly into the town to lead his men to battle to defend his community.
He quietly saved only his family and left even
the soldiers without an inspiring commander to
motivate them to engage the terrorists and defend his community.

One lesson all Nigerians must learn from this
story is that as a people, all we have is our neighbours. When you need some help at home,
you knock on the door of your neighbour. The president, governor, senator or minister is not
there to help you. Why then should you continue
to fight your neighbour because of a man or
woman who cares only about his own family?
Our elites may deceive us about sharing the same religion or ethnicity with us,
but time and again, they have proven that they do not care.
We have been fools, killing one another on the
basis of religion and ethnicity while they stay
united across all the divides and plunder our wealth.

The time has come for us to rise, educate one another and unite to fight our biggest common enemy.
The politicians are our enemies and not the poor struggling men and women in our neighbourhoods.
What now will the people of Mubi boast about as
the gain of having their son as the chief of Defence Staff? If you go to Otueke where Jonathan comes from, there are many people
who live in excruciating poverty!
There is still a lot of poverty and suffering in the home towns of all our governors, ministers,
parliamentarians and former presidents, while they and their families live in scandalous affluence.
The minister of petroleum spent over 10 billion Naira on a private jet. That money can end the poverty of several communities in her state.
Stella Oduah bought two cars with 120 million Naira while there are people in her home town
who can't afford 500 Naira to feed their family in a day.
The time to throw away the sentiments is now!
Support only a man or woman who has a just
heart and will serve everyone and every community regardless of if they come from there
or not. The moment anyone begins to talk to
you about religion or ethnicity, reject him.

summarily!
We need leaders who will unite us because our shared humanity is greater than any differences between us.
And if someone does something wrong or fails in governance, do not support them simply because they're your own
