Why do Ogun State indigene often stand out politically especially in the federal level? Olusegun Obasanjo was appointed as the Head of States during the military regime. He is from Ogun State. In 1999, he was again voted in as the Nigeria President beating Chief Olu falae from Ondo State who was then preferred by the yoruba race. Despite the preference he still emerged victorious over Olu Falae. Another case was that of Dimeji Bankole, also from Ogun state, he overthrowned the then first female speaker Olubunmi Eteh who was from Osun state. Olubunmi Eteh did not spending up to 6 month before bowing for another Ogun State indigene Dimeji bankole. ALso recently, another Ogun state Iindigene Prof Yomi Osibanjo despite his stature was chosen and preferred as the running mate of Buhari of which he emerged victorious. And he became Nigeria's Vice President. Other Notable Ogun state Indigene Include, Prof Wole Soyinka, the first nobel price winner in Africa. Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the first governor general of western Nigeria. Chief Dipo diya, the former vice president and then second in command to Late Sanni Abacha and so on. Some people believes that this could be so because Ogun State Indigene were the first to embrass and accept christianity in southwest which could have made God to be pleased with their ancestors, hence passing blessing to their offspring( just a thought)
Does that mean Femi Gbajabiamala would have been more fortunate to emerge as the speaker of house of rep over Dogara if he were to be from Ogun state?

I did thought of that long time ago...but I always ask myself where has all the good furtune land us

please op.
don't divide us, we are one & will forever be one.
one thing with SWesterns states is that, they can't do without each other. in the case of Ogun, when it comes to politics/political activities, no other SW states can stand them. in ekiti for example we have so many scholars (are babalola, Femi etc).

you get my point

how cld u call an observation a divisive post?

I do think about this topic too, and I suggest they should change their slogan to "centre of nigeria's civilization". Check our music industry from way back, up to this present moment- fela,obey,ayinla omowura, haruna ishola, da grin, these guys in their right were originators of their genre. Moving to education, I think abeokuta grammar school and baptist boys high school will both go down as the best secondary schools in this country, check the number of elites those schools have produced, they shaped a lot of things in this country. Politics? They made Nigerian politics very interesting.

since wen must one's kinsman being in a political position be a positive development for his town?

ain't that corruption?

must he start constructing every roads, erecting edifices and moving the headquarters there?

mind u, I am from abeokuta, Ogun state.

Omo ogun ise'ya.....

8 outta 10 always seek a minimum of first degree
D remaining 2 stands out in their respective vocation

i am proud i originated from ogun state.

Point of corrections,vp Osinbajo is not from ogun state,he's from ejigbo osun state.

I'm also from Ogun, but I think we should be more concerned about the growing spate of ritual killings currently ravaging the State & being perpetrated mostly by the indigenes.

All what you outlined above are nothing to write home about.
