chino24: This is happening now!! Below is the normal and usual life of an average yoroobaman. Like Obj like Shoyinka like Akala like Tinubu like the criminal fashola. grin grin



[b]
A 45-year-old man, Alabi Bakare, has been docked before an Ikeja Magistrate Court, Lagos, for allegedly having carnal knowledge of a five-year-old girl.

Bakare, who was accused of assaulting the child (name withheld), a commercial motorcycle operator, is married with two wives.

The defendant, who is a neighbour of the victim’s parents, is facing a one-count charge of having unlawful sexual intercourse with the minor.

The Police prosecutor, Mr Barth Nwaokoye, told the court that Bakare had allegedly had sex with two other girls, who are minors and whose names were simply given as Jumoke, aged four and Azeezat aged, eight, before he was recently arrested.

Nwaokoye, said that the man committed the offence on August 3, 2012, at Oluwakemi Street, Alapere, Ketu.
The prosecutor alleged that Bakare, has been sexually assaulting little children over time before he was finally caught.

The prosecutor added that it was one Mr Kehinde Ogundare of the same address, who caught him having sexual intercourse with the little child and reported the case.

Nwaokoye said that Bakare as an Okada rider and as a neighbour to the victim, was the one that usually takes them to school every day, adding that the defendant had access to the children as a result of the familiarity he had with them as their driver and as a neighbour.

The offence is punishable under section 137 of the Lagos State Criminal Laws Vol. 44 No. 11 of 2011.

Thank you my brother for your thoughtful and objective analysis. You see, the Yoruba are historically naturally not inclined to fighting any other ethnic/tribal group. It is not in their character to gang-up and fight other tribes.
But the truth is, the Yoruba are very formidable when it comes to war! War is not just about brawn and noise making. You need the right approach, brain, strategy etc.

There is no such thing as south, its going to be from nigeria to N,S,E,W and others in there, we are not going to share the same country with ibos or ijaws if nigeria divides, we have nothing in common.
manbuchai: Why do we keep running around thesame issue every time,it is now clear that the northerners are our problem.We southerners have now realized that we can not make progress if we continue to share thesame country with the mallams up north.They contribute nothing to Nigerias economy,.we do not share thesame culture,tradition,belief and social life.We must devise a means to detach from those folks up north.

veraponpo:

If u are a Yoruba, then something is wrong with u just like Omolewa or whatever the name is, what mistake did Awo make. Do u see the Ibos as human beings or bunch of thieves and deceptive people. If they have a shop next to u, all they think of is how to send u away and occupy that shop. Awo did the right thing. The war was just to achieve Ojukwu's aim. If he truly wanted Biafra and not his own selfish target, let us view the following together:
1. Why did he run away,
2. Why did he beg and return to his vomit, same Nigeria he had vowed to seceed from,
3. Why did he contest twice to become the president of Nigeria; etc.
The young ibos talking now are unwise, they need to seek knowledge, knowing the cause of Nigerian problem. Ibos by carrying out the first coup and killing Northern and Western leaders sparing their own Ibo leaders. That was the beginning of the end.



I beg to differ. let us objectively examine the evnts of 66-70.
(1) Massive corruption and looting by the Balewa government

(2) Nzeogwu, heavily influenced by a lot of revolutions going on at that time (especially the successful cuban revolution) coupled with the American civil rights movements became disillusioned with the state of affairs in Nigeria.

(3) He started the revolution, but it back-fired with many Ibo leaders not being killed unlike those of other tribes(i.e Balewa, Okotie-Eboh, Akintola, Bello etc).

(4) The north planned their revenge and got it. But it didn't end there. It snowballed into ethnic cleansing and genocide. Mind you, not one single Ibo was killed in the south-west.

(5) Based on the killings,the Ibos re-considered their membership of the union and decided to walk- which is by any standard logical.

(6) Awo, instead of either joining the secession or re-negotiating the terms of our union, decided to join Yakubu's bandwagon. ( By the way Yakubu's people are being slaughtered the way he connived in slaughtering Ibos in '66).
Even though Ojukwu was a spoilt brat who didn't listen to advice and was a tad bit selfish in his hasty decision to secede, I still think Awo should have done better. He would have saved us maitatsine, Jos crisis, zango-kataf, Boko-Haram and millions of lives that have been lost to the war that has been going on since 1966 (In case you didn't know, we are still at war).

very true my brother.
Onlytruth: The truth cannot be complete if a lie is deliberately sandwiched in between.
The quote below is PURE LIE.



The 3rd Marine co was handed over and COMMANDED (for show of unity by the rest of Nigeria against Biafra) by the Yoruba sons, just to command. Nothing more.
The overwhelming majority of its FOOT SOLDIERS were Middle belt, core North (even Chadians! ) and some minorities from Edo/Delta states.
One can argue that the commanders may have done a good job, though I personally think that Biafras lack of international support (which would have delievered the strategic weapons) led to Biafra's defeat. Biafrans fought almost bare handed against a well equipped Nigerian invading force.
If the Biafrans had a viable Navy (the type I would like), nobody would have left the west for Eastern flanks during the war. The march by the Biafran expeditionary force would have been unnecessary because the troops would simply be amphibiously landed in Lagos and from there chase Northern troops to the Northern borders with Chad and Niger republics.

It is time Yoruba elite stop lying to themselves. They should face the North and leave us out of their problems because we are facing our own problems.
I thank them in advance!

This was what your forefathers did in the 60s that wasted the lives of over 3milion ibos. You have started again. The last time I checked Yorubas are still the set of richest people in Nigeria. We control the wealth of this nation by holding the big companies and entities, we are the main professionals the country has from Accounting, to Law, to medicine, to pharmacy, to Enginering, etc . Apart from Dangote and his cousing Dantata both from the North and few Ibo people you think about the rich you remember the Yorubas so what is your problem or mention the ibos in the class of the follwoing:
1. Mike Adenuga;
2. Shubomi Balogun;
3. Obaotudeko;
4. Harry Akande;
5. Dende Fanades;
6. Deji Adeleke;
7. Femi Otedola;
8. Jimoh Ibrahim;
9. The Ogulesis;
10. Chief Michael Ade-Ojo, etc Cant even finish them. So what is your problem, and if we check now, u work in a company owned by Yoruba man or woman or u stay on our land. foolish set of people born to be a stranger.


You are pathetic, which economy control do you have maybe you mean control of poverty? The picture below shows the best you guys can do.

The list of Igbo rich people are uncountable, we don't believe in few rich people and rest 99% living in poverty just like is being seen today in yorubaland.

Ibeto
Emeka Offor
Pokobros
Innocent Chukwuma (first Indeginous vehicle manufacturer)
Ukachukwu
Cosmos Maduka – Coscharis Group
Ifeanyi Ubah – Capital oil and gas
Chisco Group
Genesis Group
Dan Dollars Group- owner of mega 5 star Rockview Hotel Abuja


These are self made Igbo millionaires and not some Yoruba criminals

In my town Uga in Anambra state, you will see individuals single handedly building Churches, town hall, rural roads, scholarship and over all development of the place. But in your own case you will never ever hear that the so called rich people in yorooba land developing their people and place. With all the crook money otedola made he has not been able to sink a bore hole in his community, what manner of wealth is that? You guys are worst than pathetic. if your state capitals are this backward and looks stone-age, how will your rural areas look like? Tufiakwa

Listen to ur self and ask me why biafra should not attack lagos, if awo counted yoruba out of the war, how come ur base was used as take off point by all the jet shelling biafra? how come ur naval base was used to penetrate biafra tru the sea? and u expect ojukwu to fold hand and watch lagos kill all biafrans without making attempt to destroy the attacking base? Ojukwu's biggest mistake was to trust a yoruba man banjo with such responsibility and he disaapointed as usual. Had ojukwu succeded in capturing lagos, Gowon would av fled or die in the process and dat would automatically end the war. We learnt our lesson.

In the process of the Biafrans heading to Lagos which was most likely to take over power they would have over run yoruba towns and no one was gonna sit by and watch that happen.

Whatever they say about Jaganba of Africa is sentiment and anger. The only state functioning in Nigeria today is Lagos, because of the legacy laid by Asiwaju there is no one in Nigeria that can match Tinubu’s achievement all of you that criticise him are mediocrities .Ondo state for example has potential to compete with Lagos in term of infrastructure and economy development. Mimiko has not use the so much wealth and potentials to attract any investor to the state. No single foreign direct investment and public private partnership, all we can see is inducing individual and group with cash to speak on his behalf over 400 million spent on declaration day economic wise this money can create job for 10,000 people not to talk of more than 500billion subvention excluding loan and internal generated revenue.

No single industries function in the state. The state that has the second largest deposit of bitumen in the world Iroko is not expose to attract investor to tap huge resource available in the state .

Ondo state has the largest level of unemployment in Nigeria. Akeredolu is on rescue mission. Mimiko is doing all these within is exposure and capacity not capable of delivery 21st century dividend of democracy. AKETI has travelled far and wide and has all it takes to transform the state within a short period of timeif given opportunity.

U sound as if u don't have d basic knowledge that d yorubas are puppets in d hands of abokis. Awo was a zombi to them so they used him. Igbo fought as a result of marginalization
onomeasike: the ibos wont just put the blame and loss they suffered during the biafra war in the right quarters.clearly,many of them have not learnt any lesson.Would you do as Ojukwu (who was reportedly killed by AIDS) did in and expect to win a war?It is only a foolishman that will do the same thing in the same but expect a different result.The average igboman,even okonkwo character of the things fall apart fame,is more of brawn than brain.War is first fought in the brain,the strategy and humility to disarm ur enemy without his knowing and element of surprise is beyond the ability of average igbomen.If I am igbo,i will rather have the more matured ,beautiful and submissive igbowomen lead a war.These crop of igbos on nairaland are typical empty vessels of the igbos.

@^^ That's the absolute truth. Fani-Kayode is trying to be smart and not being clever. There are many living witnesses to the invading soldiers. Adekunle was not in charge of Midwest sector as such. I wonder why he'll spoil his original line of thought about the "subterfuge" of the north against the West only to subvert the "truth" with a bare faced lie about the make up of soldiers in the Midwest sector. Was there really a "war" in Ore or the Western flank as such? Banjo only tried to "negotiate" because Biafra(Ojukwu's) instruction then was that the West is not an enemy nor to be perceived as a conquered territory hence they stopped at Ore instead of driving straight to Lagos. Believe me there was never a serious resistance on the way to Lagos as such because Nigeria was taken unawares on that day(NIGHT). Never mind Propagandists/revisionists who know nothing about the actual events. Why would Banjo be negotiating for a safe passage if not to demonstrate the good faith of the Biafrans that they came in peace and respect not as conquistadors/occupiers. I'll rather people focus their attention on preparing for internal strength/cohesion in our backyard than dwelling on finger pointing over spilt milk. History rewards the researcher and those who know how to interpret events correctly. Sincerely, Awo is not the problem as such. He was a mere victim of the circumstance. There were others who aided the decisions of the said period. "Elites" everywhere can be very deceitful and damaging to their own people and the Nigerian variant are absolutely despicable indeed. Fani-Kayode is only trying to be relevant and ever present in our consciousness by his almost frequent/intermittent "outbursts" just like the "delinquent" Dokubo of the South South. Nigeria is a theatre where everybody is basically an "actor/ess" trying too hard to make a mark on our "dumb" false consciousness because there is nothing actually happening in Nigeria other than "Thiefry" and Lies [/b]and [b]violence. Everybody is trying to rip-off the other even on "factual" historical matters too. We are definitely in a sorry state as a people. The sad thing is most so called Nigerians are not discerning enough to analyse/see through things without sentiments because we are self absorbed in our ethnocentric(tribe) consciousness 24/7 to the detriment of "good" education or knowledge of things as they are around us. The West as at that period did not possess enough indigenous(Yoruba) soldiers as to be able to push the Biafrans back across the Niger. The West under Gowon was like an occupied territory by Nigerian(northern) troops. The reality must have dawned on Awo and he is certainly not a dumb politician like Fani-Kayode is implying by saying that he was sold a dummy(President) by the North. It is military regime we are talking about with absolute power and an Awo or any "bloody" civilian is nothing but an accessory for their mission/goal of " keeping Nigeria One is a task that must be Done". Awo or any other civilian then do not have any leverage whatsoever. Trust me on that grin. Igbos should not focus on him too much.

ayikondu:

We should all get our facts right and stop jumping to conclusion becos of what Fani-kayode said. Awo wrote a letter to the Then head of state (Aguyi Irosi which is an Igbo man) pleading for his release but he rufused, Ojukwu had the opportunity to release Awo too in calabar prison but chose to look the other side. It was now Gowon who freed him and personally drove him to Ikenne in his private car and I guess convinced him on the way why Nigeria should remain as one and even made him the prime minister with the promise dat the military will return power to the civilians. Would you av refused if u were AWO??

Dnt mind them jare awon awon werey...

agent22: I don't really understand this Nation!!they claim they hate igbos n they can't be prsident bt really luv to live with them..

Another false premise. I for one, wouldn't care less if all ibos were to leave my region.

But unfortunately, I know they won't except on the point of death. Even then, it will still take some doing.

Ibos just can't stay in their well-developed and thriving region. They hate us so much (much more than the aboki who slaughtered

hundreds of thousands of them before the civil war) yet the ibos can't stay away from our region or the north.

Oh btw, i don't hate igbos, rather i just don't want much to do with them.

You know how you kind of tolerate insult from adult(Hausa) sometimes, but spank the kid(ibo) for disrespecting an even bigger adult. All your people are known for is noise,Yoruba is the real deal.
aryzgreat: iyoroba cowards and their IGBOPHOBIA! why not attack aboki dat taunt the conquest of your land before ur face? the aboki was responding to asari dokuba and decide to remind u of kwara conquest, all u could do is to rear ur ugly looking baboon face at igbos. Awo (frog) sold his concience to d devil bc of power promise and supported one nigeria, but 40 yrs after we are still being hunted by the same 1960 plague. Guess awo must be turning in his grave now seeing wot odua children are passing thru. Murderfucccccccccccking iyoroba cowards!

Everything below is more in the east, also some of you ibos who don't go back to your villages for lack of money can use Yoruba names to hide so that your people won't be able to find you, after all you are obsessed with everything yoruba especially those who can speak the almighty Yoruba language.
chino24: This is happening now!! Below is the normal and usual life of an average yoroobaman. Like Obj like Shoyinka like Akala like Tinubu like the criminal fashola. grin grin

A 45-year-old man, Alabi Bakare, has been docked before an Ikeja Magistrate Court, Lagos, for allegedly having carnal knowledge of a five-year-old girl.

Bakare, who was accused of assaulting the child (name withheld), a commercial motorcycle operator, is married with two wives.

The defendant, who is a neighbour of the victim’s parents, is facing a one-count charge of having unlawful sexual intercourse with the minor.

The Police prosecutor, Mr Barth Nwaokoye, told the court that Bakare had allegedly had sex with two other girls, who are minors and whose names were simply given as Jumoke, aged four and Azeezat aged, eight, before he was recently arrested.

Nwaokoye, said that the man committed the offence on August 3, 2012, at Oluwakemi Street, Alapere, Ketu.
The prosecutor alleged that Bakare, has been sexually assaulting little children over time before he was finally caught.

The prosecutor added that it was one Mr Kehinde Ogundare of the same address, who caught him having sexual intercourse with the little child and reported the case.

Nwaokoye said that Bakare as an Okada rider and as a neighbour to the victim, was the one that usually takes them to school every day, adding that the defendant had access to the children as a result of the familiarity he had with them as their driver and as a neighbour.

The offence is punishable under section 137 of the Lagos State Criminal Laws Vol. 44 No. 11 of 2011.
