This's why every Yoruba man wants to die between Igbo gal leg. ;Djavascript:void(0);

Things in Nigeria are always upside down. This young man should be busy applying to schools both
home and abroad to do masters and doctorate and stop moving about begging. If he's that good many schools will take
him and pay him to study with them. Many scholarship boards will give him priority if he applies. But this is Nigeria; he's busy going
from one event to the other indirectly begging for money for being a good student. The only thing he needs is scholarship to complete his studies not checks and cars.

When u say ayobo is btter that korodu /mowe, it depends on your defntion of "better".
Frstly, a plot of land in main mowe/ibafo lesser than 2Million is a scam.
Anywhere. From man mowe to Lag is maxmum of 25mins drve to berger
The axis. Can boast of 2 mega amusement parks one of international standard(Hi-impact) and National standdard(emmanuella park)
Amosun didn't win vanguard best governor. By using lantern as street ligHt, u need to see newer road creatons n mowe
Headquaters of Major churches are on the axis
The only vsble challenge iselectrcity, which is a national challenge
So what exactly is. Ur parameter for ayobo begn better? The noise from agberos or yellow bus lawlessness? I'm curous.

Please do you know what the rent around Obafemi quarters in Mowe is. I have a 4 flat house I abandoned since 2012 because I was told that the rent there is not worth the cost of such building. I have the building at DPC level. Thanks.

Judas Rotimi Amechi was the leader of that gang of governors that were shouting "we need our money now".

Who introduced tribalism into the politics of the south? The Yoruba or The Igbo? – Femi Fani Kayode.

’Igbo domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time’- Charles Onyeama, a prominent igbo lawyer and member of the Central Legislative Council, 1945. (Pg. 204 ‘Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria’ by Godfrey Mwakikagile). ‘It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages …’ – Dr Azikiwe, President of the Pan-Igbo Federal Union. (The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949).
The first statement from Charles Onyeama, which was made in 1945, was the first overtly tribal and divisive comment that was made and recorded in the politics of southern Nigeria in our history. That is where and when tribalism in the south actually started.
After that comment and as a direct reaction to it, the yoruba established the ”Egbe Omo Oduduwa” to further and protect yoruba interests and after that came the formation of the Action Group in 1948.


The second statement from Zik, which was made in 1949 (and which clearly shows that the great Zik of Africa had forgotten that the NCNC was not an igbo party at the beginning and that it had in fact been established by an upper class and very well educated yoruba man by the name of Sir Herbert Macauly, one of the famous ”Black Victorians” from the Lagos Colony, and who, at his death bed, was gracious enough to hand over the leadership of the party to him even though he was igbo) confirmed that tribalism was here to stay in the south and that ever since that time the igbo had an agenda to dominate others. This sentiment and this unfortunate igbocentric attitude is what cost Zik the Premiership of the Western Region in 1953 when the NCNC narrowly lost to the Action Group.
It is clear from this that if you want to know who started tribalism in southern politics and the politics of the southern protectorate of Nigeria it was not the yoruba or the southern minorities but the igbo. The excesses of the Igbo State Union and their treatment of the southern minorities and the yoruba from 1943 till 1967 was completely unacceptable. The rest of the south were prepared to accept the igbo as equals with open arms but they were not prepared to be politically dominated or conquered by them.
Worst still the first coup in the history of Nigeria, which was the Jan 15th 1966 coup d’etat led by Major Ifejuana and Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, was essentially an igbo coup and an igbo grab for power. I say this because 95 per cent of those that took part in it were igbo and 99 per cent of the political and military leaders that were brutally murdered during it’s execution were non-igbo. It was this coup and it’s sheer brutality that led to the even more brutal northern officers counter-coup of July 1966 (in which 300 igbo officers were killed in one night including the igbo Head of State, Gen. Aguiyi-Ironsi, and his yoruba host, the Military Governor of the Western Region, Gen. Adekunle Fajuyi who sought to protect him), the pogrom of igbos in the north (in which over 100,000 igbo civilians were killed in a few weeks) and the Nigerian civil war (in which 2 million Nigerians and Biafrans died). These are the facts of our history. Live and learn.
If you want to know who introduced tribalism into southern politics, it was the igbo. If you want to know who carried out the first coup in our country it was the igbo. Having done the painstaking research over a number of years these are my findings and this is my conclusion.

How did a Kenyan get hold of a statement made by Igboman in 1945 and no Nigerian knew about it? FFK had to quote a Kenyan, but had no other reference in Nigeria? Do you know that Nigeria was run by the white man until 1960? Do you know that Nigeria was a regional system with full autonomy of the regions? No Igboman made such statement, or at best it was a statement from a beer parlour which people always make.

FKK is a tribalist with rabbid obsession with anything Igbo. They said he has always hired Igbo cooks and never misses Calaber/Igbo food. This is information from someone that slept under his roof for 5 yrs.

That of Zik is nothing to respond to. It is even a credit for him. This is the kind of statement that comes in a speech to motivate your people to strive harder. That is why every culture has a religion and believes that the world originated from them. The purpose is to uplift their spirit.

Can we have those of Tinubu and Fashola and maybe OBJ please?

The Yorubas are going to come up with one achievement of their own because of this news. That's fair, but we will not accept it if it's source is Punch or Sahara Reports or any Nigerian blog! We don't want another fake prof. solving 200 years old mathematics problem.

abbey621:
Being accepted is one thing, paying for it is another. Hope they'll also award her scholarships and other grants because those schools are robbing students. If I could advise her, I would just let her know that networking is the key. She'll be mixing with future presidents, lawmakers and CEO's, DO NOT BE SHY!!!!

Don't worry. Her scholarship is in excess of $50.000 every year for at least three years.

ChetaNwaeze:
Ndigbo why are we the only one supporting Saraki? Even his people in Kwara state have opposed him, but we Igbos are the only one still supporting him shamelessly.

You're not Igbo. If you are Igbo you will understand that we don't do things in halves. If we have your back,...we have your back.

Aisha don use rice and dollar block his mouth. He's still choking on it as we read.

ChetaNwaeze:
TY Danjuma is a Junkun, Buhari is a Fulani. What made Buhari to go after Sambo Dasuki, a fellow Fulani who is also a sokoto Prince, should make you know that Buhari fears no friend nor foe.
Mallam no dey support corruption . Na we Igbos still get that ''leave am na our son'' mentality

If you're really Igbo, may your ancestors and the spirit of all Igbos who laid down their lives to defend and protect us between 1966 and 1970 chase you till the end of your life and may you know no peace until you change.

If you are no Igbo, I have no problem with you, and I can understand you.

I think this's the right time to push the dullard back to Duara, his cup is over full.

spanishkid:
I live in Canada but I know my roots cos my Pops is Nigerian. Allow us bother about ourselves. We dont want to form a union with you. Is that too difficult? 45% of present day Southern Nigeria trace their origin from Edo. Continue living in denial. You claim you're being marginalised but yet want to lump others into an unholy union. I really don't have time arguing with you.

Stop attaching yourself to other tribes. I don't think Ijaws, efik, Igbos in the present day Niger Delter wants to form a country with you. Niger Delta is a creation of OBJ, is not a nationality. Edo is even made up of many tribes....answer your fathers name.

lielbree:
My uncle fought in the Nigerian army! He told me.
I personally know some people who were taken as kids that survived.
I am from Bakana, who told you we relocated?? Abeg the 1960s is not that far off o.
Are you not aware that the our people were classified as traitors for supporting Nigeria??

You said you're from Kalabari, so why don't you fight for the independence of your tribe instead of joining yourself with the Urhobo, Ibibio, Ijaw etc in the name of Niger Delta created by OBJ. You said Igbos should fight alone but you append yourself to other tribes that may not like you. You know Kalabari is too insignificant to be taken serious that's why you want to hide under Niger Delter. This is exactly the stupidity of earlier leaders that sold their people to the Hausas because of federal appointment. For your information, Biafra is made up of provinces under the former eastern region with headquarters in Calabar. Before independence these nationalities came together and agreed to be in one region before the military came and destroyed it. Niger Delta is made of many nationalities including Igbos, so stop deceiving yourself about not wanting to have anything to do with Biafra. Hausa man doesn't differentiate between you and Igbos, their seeming hatred for Igbos is because they're the only ethnic nationality strong enough to withstand their desire to take over the entire region.

People are committing suicide left and right because of the hardship brought
by the dullard.

I told you guys Fashola is the most overrated Nigerian ever.

The dullard has to look for SS/SE experts to man the critical sectors of the economy. The Tinubus and their hausa masters are not equal to the task.

Why can't we have Yorubas dominating in the line up as they do on social media?

This is real solid achievement, something to celebrate.

I am surprised 95% of posts here condemn this killing. Two years ago when the debate was going on, 99% of you supported it. Didn't you guys realise it will come to this? Many of you criticised Jonathan on everything he did except this retrogressive law: you praised him and ignorantly pontificated how it's un-african. For your information, every 100 people you see, one is homosexual. That means we have about 1.7m of then in Nigeria.

Anybody who has sat with and had discussion with a gay person on the subject will tell you that being gay is not a choice. About ten person of gays kill themselves every year because they even refuse to accept their condition. I would advice you guys to look for documentaries on the subject to educate yourselves or better still look for a gay to talk to and above all stop quoting the bible or quran when this issue comes up because it shows how stupid you are.

RIP to the dead.

Where I studied, first class is given only to exceptional brains who finish their program within the normal time, not those that took extra 10 years.

Very disappointed. It's such a long time a lion dined on a religious fanatic? I hope we're not gonna wait too long.

OJUcrook:
Nnamdi Kanu is the greates man in Igboland


Nnamdi Kanu is greater than Chinua Achebe

That means he is the greatest Nigerian ever. Nigeria has nobody dead or alive greater than Chinue Achebe!

Adaure4ever:
The ooni should have done a deep research about this woman, how can the number 1 yoruba monarch be marrying a lady with a questionable history of Divorces, Flirting, Sleeping around, Gold digging.
The last husband she married, they are not even officially divorced and she has ran out of the marriage. Hahahaha.

The Onni of a guy is also a fraudster. Don't you know that his land fraud case is with EFCC.

This is Allah's kick in Booohari's teeth.

This one is drew for Yoruba and Igbo; so no tribal war on this one today.

I thought they said he went there to increase the price of oil?? How come the whole 1st eleven of APC are doing hajj?? This country is finished.

Lagos state doesn't deserve any FGN allocation because FGN has built the state as federal capital territory since 1919. FGN built Ikoyi, VI, Ikeja, Obalande, 95% of roads, 95% bridges, two airports, three seaports, headquarters of every ministry, headquarters of every govt agency, many housing estate, many army barracks, many police institutes etc. This fact is reflected on the IGR of the state. What Lagos people should do is to keep Tinubu and his gang away from stealing the tax collected from the people, and the state will be fine.

Welldone Wike. Kick their APC asses out of River state.

Off he goes again, while Lai Mohamed is going over his propaganda papers.

This is beyond belief. Where is your outrage; people??
The dullard has never stayed in the country for one week without visiting one Islamic country....he even went to Sudan and Somalia.

SylarsMcQuins:
Interestingly cool, more tomato sauce to prepare food for APC Zombies and E-Rats...

Aisha is surely going home with a truck load of the tomatoes for the e-rats.
