Osun State Elections: One Dead, One Dying In Pre-election Violence(live Report) by elfaez(m): 4:18pm On Aug 07, 2014
A clash between supporters of the incumbent governor and APC candidate, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, and those loyal to the candidate of the PDP, Iyiola Omisore, in Ejigbo LGA, has resulted in the death of one person- a pregnant woman. Another victim has been reported to have been wounded, and possibly fatally, with a slash to the neck with a (cutlass?).

More casualties are possible with the unrest still ongoing. More updates to follow...

Now, the fracas began when the supporters of Iyiola Omisore, who were dancing around town peacefully, were given a surprise attack by supporters of the APC. The scuffle quickly yielded its first casualty. A pregnant woman among the PDP supporters was attacked, and she died immediately. This fired up the PDP supporters, who resorted to area to area attacks in response. Both sides armed with 'juju' rings and charm wips called 'onde', many victims are struck and left to die. The security personels simply watch on.

As it is now. Calm has been restored. In fact, if you passed through Ejigbo now, you would wonder if anything happened at all. The reported death toll still stands at one, with the condition of the other seriously wounded person unknown.

Please,does this in anyway or manner,potray the sophistication,which our SW brothers 'arrogantly arrogate' to themselves?.


I had thought sophistication has every look,texture,and colour of 'gross enlightenment',on every sphere of humanity,scholarly dispositions,attitudinal dexterity,quality of character,quintessential socio-political behaviourism,and every touch and attribute of positivity.


I am being forced to demand the meaning of "Sophistication",from our SW neighbours,failure to provide it,and of course,matching it,with the realities of socio-political,and to an extent,religious barbarism,as being witnessed there,which is at its "crescendo",will be tantamount to gross mental ineptitude of the people of the Sw,and hence,would kindly suggest that they,drop that word henceforth,from their mouth,and ethnic glossry,or face serious legal litigation,from Nigerians.

I aslo wish to ask Nairalanders,if such word,"Sophistication",has its semblance,in Yorubaland,in the light and manner they go about issues,esp.political issues(almost the same way as north),unlike their light bearer neighbours across the niger!.

Can you please affirm your presence in the town, and what area you're in?
It is worrying to see people attempt to discredit anything opposing them.

Can people see APC for who they are?! They are everything but progressive and democratic. Thought experiment, imagine APC as the party in charge of Abuja. What will happen to opposition?

God forbid APC in Lagos or Abuja.


PDP lagos 2015. GEJ till 2019! Whether Tinubu ole, Akande and Aregbesola like it or not!!!

Search your conscience,am i what you said? NO!.

I raised salient point,that required a well-thought-out answer,but all you could do,is to open your moribund buccal cavity,and spew trash.

I don't like engaging noobs,talk more of throwing verbal acids.

Do yourself and your ilks a good,CONCRETELY disaprove my point,and prove to me how sophisticated you people are,in the light of the unpalatable and unsophisticated socio-political foregoings,in the SW.

I do not quite understand your idea(s) of sophistication as proposed in your arguments. But from what I can deduce, you have a seriously 'tribalised' view of the Yorubas - your brothers to the southwest. Making blanket attacks on a tribe as compound as the Yorubas isn't advisable for any analyst of social and mental states. But know this, the yoruba people are a people more humane than any other in the ex-colony of the British known as Nigeria. Sure there are those who are nothing short of senseless and barbaric, but they are so few any case of cruelty makes front pages. The yoruba people are actually very much hospitable, amiable sensible and sensitive, and very much sophisticated. But they seem to take little pride in being all over the place, so those who do are widely popular, unlike tribes where everyone is the same attention seeker.
