Sorry to jump in. I heard same thing too. I have a friend who works and lives in Osogbo. She confirmed this.

Shymm3x:



The real merchants are the ones who do legit business and maximise their profits the right way.

However, when you start scamming folks - that's not business.

Ritchiee:
That sums it up,bruv.It is going to be one helluva task when there are no more Nigerians to scam...

DollyParton1:


Thats a type of business. The Biafran type.

Shymm3x:
I think we might have to create a medium outside this place to discuss certain issues.

I know the older heads were planning one before, but I had to opt out of that in a sly way cos I'm never comfortable around older Yoruba folks. And if I can't disagree with folks, I won't be able to get my points across. Also, cos I do observe posters a lot - I just never really liked some of the folks mentioned. I'm not a fan of two-faced folks. Then you have some chameleons/snakes in the mix as well. I definitely can't relate to folks who try to post to me on one hand, and in a snakey way report my handles and other Yoruba posters' handles all the time - while trying to support those who instigate shiit. I don't like snakes/jakes/fakes/frauds.

At least I've known Ilekehd for three years now and from personal observations, I know what she can/can't do. Ditto 9jacrip, Superstar1, and a few other folks. And I know Aareonakakanfo is legit and passionate about Yoruba. Since we all share the same passion - we might as well start building something.

What do you guys think?

Ibebe:


Came back for this post.

Sounds good to me. As long as personal data are kept off record.

I also don't want us to TALK about developing Yorubaland, we need to be active about it. Seun's forum is not the place for that since he's not using his forum as a supportive tool for SW development and the mods keeps trying to hush up this thread.

Shymm3x:


Obviously. Privacy should always be paramount and personal data isn't for public consumption. Let's just keep pushing this thread for now to enlighten folks and use it as a medium to discuss issues and celebrate people - without the other toxic intrusions synonymous with this forum these days. Anyway, when it's time to build the medium, I'll volunteer to do it, depending on what my workload/schedule is like.

Don't worry, with the passion I see on this thread - we all want the best for Yorubas. Though our approaches might be different cos of how diverse our backgrounds are. But the must important thing is the drive/desire and passion to achieve a common goal. Personally, I just want to contribute anyway I can and I don't want anything back in return.

laudate:

Similar suburbs have been springing up on the outskirts of Lagos too, but unlike London those suburbs are sprawling, unplanned communities with poor levels of infrastructure and zero amenities.

In the past decade, areas like Ajangbadi, Igando and Okokomaiko along the Mile 2-Badagry expressway have sprung up; Ikorodu and Ijede is another sprawling area outside Lagos that is currently receiving govt attention, as housing estates of all sorts are being built there;

Omole, Ojodu-Berger, Isheri, etc., are also new areas that have expanded rapidly along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and have become densely populated mini-cities on their own, unfortunately the level of infrastructure has not kept pace with the population explosion on that axis.

Along the Lekki-Epe expressway, areas like Sangotedo, Awoyaya, Abijo, Lakowe, Bashorun, Ibeju-Lekki, Akodo have all sprung-up along that axis. Again, the population in those communities has quadrupled astronomically, but sadly infrastructure again cannot keep pace with the rise in population along that axis. The remodelled Lekki-Epe expressway is still inadequate to cope with the traffic in that region due to bad planning. 15 years ago, that whole stretch after Ajah to Epe was nothing but dots of villages, idyllic beaches, tons of palmtrees and not much else. I used to go for picnics with my friends then at Epe, as a youngster. Today, it is a totally different story. Those village lands have all been bought up, and have witnessed a heavy influx of people, businesses and all sorts. They have turned into another arm of the city, on its own.

Ambode recently promised to install electricity in about 67 communities in the Lekki-Epe area. Let's hope he fulfils his promises.

I totally understand your frustration, ambition and passion.

When you get there, we'll cross the bridge. For now, we can make more people aware of the call for Yoruba interest.

Entertainment guru, Dayo Adeneye, has officially been pronounced the commissioner for information and strategy in Ogun state on Thursday October 29, 2015.

This comes as a worthy solace after Adeneye lost out at the APC primaries in his bid to become a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly representing Odogbolu Constituency.

He has subsequently been appointed as a member of the 2015 Inauguration Committee of Ogun State before becoming a commissioner.

At his inauguration, ID Ogungbe and Kenny Saint Best, among many others, showed up to support him.

Congratulating Adeneye on his new appointment, KSB said:

“Another honourable feather is added to your feather as you become a commissioner in Ogun State. It’s a new page in your life, explore it, enjoy it. Congratulations my brother….”

D1 alongside Kenny Ogungbe brought revolution to the the Nigerian music industry with their programme turned label, Primetime Music .

Ibebe

The Queen Tiye of Yorubaland, can we get the full profiles of our ministers (the Yoruba ones), please?

Ibebe:


I think Aareonakakanfo would do a better research than I would on that topic, he would be able to better explain their advantages and limitations.

Shymm3x:

Okay.

Aareonakakanfo:
I'm really loving these new guys.If only they can be consistent

Shymm3x I love that Idea.If say you be woman, I for don kiss you

But for that kind of thing,we need massive enlightenment of Yoruba folks

Despite the fact that we've opened this thread for over 2 weeks,we still have Yorubas who haven't commented on this thread.They simply don't care.There are hundreds of those pucc.ie.s in romance

I'm telling you there are few pro-Yoruba folks out there.We need to be in the majority.Some only appear pro-Yoruba because of Romani-bashing.That's the only time they show up

The first thing we need to do is accelerate their otondo minds into an Alaafin state of mind

If we can do that,we're good to go.

Ibebe:


How do we branch off to other sections? I'm not touching that romance section, there are so many children on that board.

Loool I've never been there but I know there are hundreds of Yoruba pucc.ies there

Aareonakakanfo:

Ibebe:


Ewo lo tu n je Yoruba puccies? What happened to "ladies", "women" etc?

Aareonakakanfo:
I've been following Joshua for a while now, the boy is good.Quality chin

He recently got a cosign from Wladmir Klitschko

Aareonakakanfo:

And who told the pucc.i.es I'm reffering to are women?
You too dey beh

Shymm3x:


Safe for that, brother.

We'll just keep pushing this one. I honestly don't think they don't care (though there are a lot of delusional and illiterate ones in this section and we don't need misfits like them to mess up the thread), a lot of folks either don't have anything to add/contribute, or some folks are just trying to survive. It's hard on these streets and most folks just want to read good news that will impact their lives directly and keep it moving. At the end of the day, folks who always form a movement are always in the minority and the crowd gets bigger when they start impacting people's lives.

That brings me back to the interview I posted about how AG was formed. Apparently, nobody was interested at first and Awolowo almost gave up, till someone told him to give it another try. And the rest is history. You can check the history of the Black Panther Party, NOI, and even MLK's civil rights movement - same story. We don't even need too many folks on this thread, to be honest. We're doing fine and folks can just read as guests. The fact that I can stay away from other threads and hide on this one, is enough for me. I can just go from CIF and come here - easy peasy - without getting into unnecessary drama all over NL. And we can always post whatever news on here without the need to create new threads.

Ibebe:


Oh lawwwwddddddd


*faints*

Aareonakakanfo:



The emboldened is just too true

You made mention of the profiles of Yoruba ministers

You mean their biographies?

Shymm3x:


Yes.

No fear.We'll reveal their info very soon.The research team are already digging it out
