The statement in bold letters is the reason you are being played.

"Igbos are not interested in politics"? Are you serious at all. Why do you have Governors, House of representatives members in state and at National level, Local Govt Chairmen, Senators and others. Why is Obi contesting for presidency? Why were you pressure groups demanding all party to present Igbo man as presidential candidate before the emergence of the flag bearers. If you will forget everything I have schooled you here, please don't ever forget this: every one is involved in politics, actively or passively, one way or another. The political skills, maturity and sagacity is the difference between everyone.

Is there any region in Nigeria where there is no slum, including your South East? Is there no slum in USA, UK and Canada and others? Is there any part of the world where there is no slum?

Mr Igbo, up your political game and stop being ignorant. You need to mature into fine and sagacious politician to get the best out of Nigeria. Imagine the knowledge, attributes and skills that you have combined with advanced and refined political prowess. I can bet you will not be here lamenting about the Southwest.
in your hurry to respond, you didn't read. Mr yoruba read, it is in fine print, So that you don't respond ignorantly to something I already answered ( see bold). Since you didn't respond on what your political sagaciousness has benefited the south west for all the years you have played it, and you are still as backward as the south east that doesn't know how to play it, can we now agree that you are the problem of Nigeria? If not for anything your being the problem comes from your lack of awareness in your abilities and the benefits it accrues to you.

there is no hatred. I only stated a fact. I am OBIDATTI. If obi wasn't contesting buy osinbanjo was, I will be osinbanjo as long as he leave APC. I am for competence. Osinbanjo might not have held positions to judge him fairly, but he has ideas that can move a nation forward. Well from all candidates available, like I said before I am OBIDATTI. My one vote , even if it is wasted will go there.

I don't have issues with who anyone chooses to vote for. We only went on attack when they won't let us be and always attacked our choices. I am sure you are one of those who did same.

I laff in 3D at you guys. So, @ emee701, because my mum is lagosian now makes me fake abi? But in 2015 when I voted buhari and carried him on my head, then I wasn't fake. Who's more fake between me and your mentor Tinubu who hails from Osun and without any link here? The way you guys think amazes me always.

My dad despite being edo was born in lagos, he schooled in lagos. He has all his houses here. His mum is also lagosian from the Kosoko family. While his great grand father was of Oshodin family who were the the early settlers of Eko from Edo state. What's known as Oshodi today was originally called Oshodin which is an edo word. Or can you tell me the yoruba meaning of oshodi? grin. Edo were early settlers of Lagos. Look at the way Obas in Lagos are dressedand and compare this with the Edo Obas. Oba Akiolu sef attested to this. I'm full bloodied lagosian.

Let's put history aside. Whoever we support is our business and so, we should all be respected for our choices. You guys all saw a Sokoto youth sponsoring Peter Obi's billboard as posted here recently. He even said he's produce more.

Watch here


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byS5mlQQ_jA

Are you also calling this guy fake fulani, despite his clear and audible accent? Did you not hear a popular imam in kano openly saying nobody should vote Tinubu yesterday? Guys, if you see the truth but choose to shy away from it, it's the worst of sins and atrocities any human could commit.

In Oyo state today, you cannot mention Tinubu except you're ready to get igbati to gbona lala. Are those guys also fake yoruba? Those states in which apc lost to the pdp in the south west in 2019, were they also fake yoruba? I don't want to talk of a cosmopolitan lagos where the margin of votes was so slim between apc and pdp in same year. This shows clearly that Tinubu isn't popular in Yorubaland. If you're popular .you'd not be intimidating people and be sponsoring violence in order to have your way.

That said. Among all the politicians, you and I know Peter Obi is the only one with a clear agenda and integrity. My maternal family is very close to Tinubu. According to mama, he used to come to our place in the 80s to visit baba jakande and be pleading for relevance. We know his real age and history from osun state. How can an 80 year old lie on oath that he's just 70? Is that integrity? His wife hajia died in 2018 at age 74.

This same man sold buhari to us in 2015. Is your life better today than it was before 2015? Do you have a car, a generator, a job, a business? If yes and you're still supporting an apc candudate despite paying heavily on fuel. Your conscience is dead.

Come 2023, we shall know who's fake yorubas cos of all the fellow yorubas polled, only 2 out of 10 said they'd vote tinubu. The rest said its Obi and this cuts across Christianity and Islam. There's an alhpaa in my neighbourhood who never misses the prayers 5 times daily . He's supporting Obi, even using Obi's picture as his DP. God almighty is my witness. So, I'd urge you think logically instead of being sentimental. Sentiments pull down a nation but integrity upholds it

Could Osinbajo have stopped Buhari from doing anything?

What policy does a Nigerian Vp enact?
NwaIdeato:
The SW due to their greed for power have unwittingly sold the North a perfect ace card to use and politically dominate Nigeria for a very long time...by agreeing to the Muslim/Muslim ticket, the South West have now given the North the impetus to dare Nigeria and even float a North/North ticket in the nearest future...after all if we are seeing a time in Nigeria's political history when a Muslim/Muslim ticket is allowed...who's to say the North will not attempt a North/North ticket soon? And who will stop them if they do?

Honestly yorubas are the biggest problems we have in Nigeria, now the indigenous Northern Christians have seen through the dishonesty and duplicity of the yorubas, the South South are now disengaging themselves from yaribas...the few poor Yaribaa Christians are helpless and silent...the entire South and Middle Belt are now cutting off the SW...we're seeing a political dynamic where the only friends of the SW will be the core Northern Muslims against the rest of Nigeria

Lol.

Save “you & us” the stress of what we will never know whether true or false about your dad; as well as what will never be verifiable by us about him. It’s pointless.

Its non-verifiableness makes it irrelevant, and adds 0 weight to your position. It probably detracts from your position because it’s most likely another Edo lie.

It’s irrelevant in any case. So don’t even sweat it.

the early settlers of Eko from Edo state
If what you mean is that the name “Eko” was given to this island (inside Lagos state) by the Ẹdos (i.e. Binis); I’m sorry to break it to you that such statement is yet another popular but miserably false Ẹdo assertion.

Two pieces of information rightly knocks off this Bini fiction, and these pieces of information are:

(a) A Portuguese description of the area in the 1470s.

This Portuguese description of the area appears 100 odd years before the Edos (and other foreigners) first immigrated to this land of the Yoruba autochthones.

This Portuguese description is Lago de Koráme; also spelt Lago de Curamo.

This description first came from Ruy de Sequiera who explored the island area around the year 1472.

This piece of land (Eko island) is of course surrounded by water. He described this waterbody in relation to the island it surrounds.

Of course this island has long had a name prior to his arrival and exploration. The locals till date still call it Eko-Aromirẹ, i.e. Aromirẹ’s Eko.

Per Lagos traditions, Aromirẹ is the Awori prince who pioneered its use as oko (farm). This oko (farm) thus became an ereko (a farmstead dependency) of the adjacent Ido island capital.

His “Lago de Koráme” is his Portuguese description of the waterbody surrounding this island. This in English (partly) translates to “Lake of Koráme”.

Koráme (also spelt: Curamo) thus corresponds to the local name of the island. He didn’t rename the island.

A well known name of the island till date among the indigenous people is: “EkoAromi-rẹ”—also sometimes punned as: “EkoAromi-sa”.

His “Koráme”/“Curamo” messy spelling (of the island’s local name) corresponds to no else than EkoAromi-rẹ which is the islands local name.

His “Lago de Koráme” is “Lake of EkoAromi” which, for short, is “Lake of Eko” — his description of the water around the island.

He recorded this in 1472, and that is 100 odd years before the Edos/Binis immigrated to live on the island among the Yoruba autochthones.

In summation; there exists a textual evidence which
demonstrates that the island has had its name “Eko” centuries before the Edo/Binis first immigrated here.

(b) Lagos traditions has maintained for centuries that this island has had its name Eko long before it got transformed from a mere farmstead dependency of Ìdó into having actual settlements of its own.

This centuries-old tradition was captured into writing in the 1920s by A. Burns, a former Acting Governor of Nigeria. He collected & documented this tradition as follows:

Formerly [prior to its name as “Lagos”] it was known as Eko, which name it had received before any settlements were made on the island.” ~Alan C. Burns, “History of Nigeria,” (1929), p. 44.

In summation; the island has had its name “Eko” long, long before the mid-1500s when the Edos (Binis) and the other immigrants first contemplated immigrating to this island of the Yoruba autochthones.
————
Yes the Binis immigrated here later and encountered this word “Eko” as the pre-existing name of this island.

This name thus entered the Bini lexicon since then as an alternative Bini word for “camp” — signifying their camp which they built on a corner of this island when they arrived in the mid-1500s.

What's known as Oshodi today was originally called Oshodin which is an edo word.
FALSE!

First of all, it is NOT called “Oshodin” (“Oṣodin”) in the Edo (aka. Bini) language. Instead, the Edos/Binis call it “Osodin”.

Secondly, pick up the dictionary of the Bini language, you will find the additional details which reads: “Of Yoruba origin”.

In other words, the Bini lexicon tells you clearly that it is a word which originated from Yoruba language and which found its way into the Edo/Bini world/lexicon.

It is for this reason that the Edo/Bini language fails to make etymological sense of this word.

In other words, while the Bini kingdom may continue to bestow the word as a chieftain title, the language of the Edos continues to fail to give us an etymological derivation/meaning of the word itself.

Or can you tell me the yoruba meaning of oshodi? grin.
As we have been informed by the Bini dictionary, this word does not belong originally in the Bini language.

The original Yoruba word as is well known is “Oshodi” (i.e. Oṣòdì). It entered the Benin lexicon as: Ósòdìn

In other words, its etymological meaning can only be found in the Yoruba language, as broken down below:

Oṣòdì = Oṣ’òdì = O ṣe òdì = Oṣ’òdì = Oṣòdì

The most relevant of these etymological components is the word: “òdì”.

This word translates literally into English as: “the inferior contrast in a pair”.

Oṣòdì = Oṣ’òdì = O ṣe òdì.

The Yoruba article “o” here is the noun-maker which in English literally is: “that which”.

The Yoruba word “ṣe” translates literally as: “do”, “act”.

The literal translation of the Yoruba word “Oṣòdì“ is:

That which acts as the inferior contrast in a pair”.
————
As a historical compliment to the foregoing linguistic background, this specific word is mostly remembered to have emerged in Lagos in relation to a certain Nupe man whose actual name is Landuji.

Landuji from Nupeland lived in the Eko palace since a little boy. He grew up to later serve as King Kosoko’s loyal war captain and right-hand man.

Being always in his master’s company as his loyal war captain, right-hand man, and representative; Landuji for all practical intents & purposes appeared as a duo with his master, the king.

He earned and lived the title: Oṣòdì [lit: one who acts as òdì (the lesser complement of a duo) to the king].

Hence the “name” which he is most remembered by today, viz. Chief Oṣodi Tapa. Tapa being the Yoruba name for “Nupe”.

Instead of the title “Oṣòdì”, some Yoruba kingdoms use it as “Òdì-Ọba” [lit. The king’s òdì — i.e. the king’s (lesser) contrast]. While others use other descriptions for the same role or title.

Edo were early settlers of Lagos. Look at the way Obas in Lagos are dressedand and compare this with the Edo Obas. Oba Akiolu sef attested to this.
Yes the Edos/Binis and many other immigrants came to trade/settle on the island in the mid-1500s.

They were welcomed by the autochthonous Yorubas landowners who have been there for centuries prior.
——
The Eko ọbas do NOT DRESS like Edo ọbas in any way, shape, or form. Please point me to one similarity (just one) between the two kings’ dressings.

Thanks.
——
There is no where in the whole wide world, where the present Eko king (Ọba Akiolu) said his dressing or any of his predecessors’ is similar to Ẹdo kings’ dressing.

The most he has mentioned is that there is a strong connection between the Eko monarchy and the Bini monarchy. Specifically, the Eko king called Ado can trace his descent to a certain Bini king — but via his mother. His father being a Yorùbá noble from Isheri.

I'm full bloodied lagosian.
Full blooded? How so? I thought your dad is Ẹdo just now.

Oh by Lagosian you mean you’re a non-indigene of Lagos who live in Lagos (perhaps from birth or from a latter time)?

Cheers.

I have to agree. The yoruba Christians in politics have been a disappointment. Just look at fayemi, akeredolu etc all rooting for a Muslim after 8 years of Muslim rule.
Ok how about the clergy? What is adeboye saying? Nothing! Not giving the church direction Because it's not an osinbajo or some other yoruba on the ticket .

Dont let them manipulate you emotionally. The only reason they are supporting obi is because he is igbo and they want a taste of presidency. All ipobians shouting biafra or death are now supporting obi. Yoruba agenda should be for all yorubas because nigeria can never be one. We have no business with the choice of tinubu's vp. Our concern should be tinubu who is our own man

Smart guy the support of Obi is purely ethnic anyone with emitonal intelligence can sense that.Forget all the useless talk of he is this or that. How come people who want Biafra and called Nigeria a zoo support him?? What has change? I repeat the support for Obi is ethnic based and there is nothing wrong with that but stop blackmailing people.

Some yorubas are saying it boldly that their support for Tinubu is because he is Yoruba have you seen any Ibo say this Probably not just to make it look like they are supporting him based on competency.

So despite all the curses and insults you guys want the presidency badly? I thought you guys said you dont want it. Those who planned the coup this is same strategy they use but they are always half smart thinking they are smart.

Eddygourdo:
good , since you sound reasonable to engage, I will engage you.

As a yoruba man, can you tell me what your issues are with an igbo man. Why do you have trepidation at an igbo man. The yoruba and igbo have lived together for years without a tribal or religious crisis all the years. Igbo villages are inhabited by yoruba and yoruba villages are inhabited by igbos. Now I ask again what are your issues with an igbo man.

The civil war was mainly between the igbo and the North, the yoruba fought in it by association , even though they were instrumental in the defeat of igbos, the enemy of the igbo was the north. Post war, it can be understood why the north feels anger against the igbo, what will be the reason of the yoruba.

Now let's come to Nigeria and why yoruba are the issue. The NORTH is the problem of Nigeria. The poor north, the arid north, the backward north, the murderous north, the religious hypocritical north, and they have for years banked on the unwarranted beef the yoruba have with the igbos to Foster disunity amongst us furthering their grip on power.

A yoruba muslim isn't regarded as a Muslim in the north, a yoruba Christian is called an infidel, the entire South comprising of igbo , yoruba and other tribes have long had to go and kneel down to the north to get any form of power or say in government. How do we stay in a country where the south with all the education, wealth, knowledge and experience have to beg the backward north for power. How can the people with eyes be subservient to people who are blind.

The south has failed to become great because of the yoruba. This is why they are the source of Nigeria problems. The south of Nigeria who should be calling the shots cannot do that because the yoruba time and time again betray the entire south for personal gains in the name of politics.

2023 election Has proven again how the yoruba will do anything even risking the unity of the nation for personal gains. That is not politics, it cannot be politics when there isn't fairness or unity.

The solution to Nigeria is a United south against the Real enemy of Nigeria (north). But the north know the yoruba will continue to betray their brothers and use them as willful pun for their evil schemes.

So when I say yoruba are this problem, it is not because I hate the yoruba. I live with them, I work with them, but they have continually betrayed everyone , stopping the southern part of Nigeria from taking their place as the power brokers of the nation. We have everything in the south even to be an independent nation. Tell me one reason to go to abuja and kneel down in Katsina and Kano.

Always pointing fingers Igbo the tribe that do no wrong. Who voted Atiku in PDP even when their son is on the ballot? Orji Kalu was supporting Lawal for president is he from Oyo? How many Igbo stood to fight for Obi in PDP You all have the same mentality with your leaders. It is either you guys way or no way and that was what Orji did in APC and Igbo in PDP. And it boils down to bitterness and hatred.It will never take you guys anywhere

The way Igbos are navigating the politics of 2023, they will be the losers. They are fighting too hard to make this election a christian/moslem thing. This will not favour Peter Obi.
