OAM4J:

hehehe, ok, when my Intel officers return with their findings.

Eko Ile: I hope we are not misplacing our history and historical understanding. Aare-Ona kakanfo is a warrior, he's the generalissimo and many of the names listed are are yet to show their warrior attributes on NL. If you are not a fearless fighter and strong advocate by any means necessary on behalf of the Yoruba people, this position is not for you.

We have cultural and political leaders and many of the folks on the list sounds more like cultural and political people, they loath guns, skirmishes and hard core battles. Generals like Are fight wars, they are not politicians and diplomats.


If we can not follow our own historical path, we should leave this matter alone and let's not ridicule this wonderful Yoruba title.

kofoshi:

Yorubas only, pls!

Gbawe:

I generally always stay away from these sort of nonsense but I must step in here to prevent my name being dragged into this. Guys, I know some claim this is all a bit of fun, but let me kindly beg all Nairalanders to keep me out of this nonsense. It stands against what I believe in and what I think Nairaland should be.

I come here, as a Nigerian, to share and receive info. That is what most chat rooms were conceived to facilitate i.e the exchange of info. When we begin to elect so-called leaders , especially for ethnic groups, we inadvertently heighten division, suspicion and rancour. Add to that the fact we are eroding the essence of equal participation and, somewhat, freedom of speech with how we make a voices more authoritative and more important than others. Look at how the eze crap has gone to Onlytruths head. He now actually believes himself a leader because of some silly sectional and , no doubt, ethnocentric title on a Nigerian website !!!! The deluded chap actually sees himself a champion of Igbo cause against others in the 'warfare' zone of Nairaland !!! Someone should pour a bucket of cold water on him and tell him to get back to his job - if he has one.

If all of you do not know it, and even if you think this a joke, you are reacting to instinct of feudalism by wishing to have an ethnic overlord speak for you and herd you in a direction. What does any secure Nigerian need that for ? Can we all not just come here and talk? Is that not enough? Best poster is just about OK but I say no to an ethnic overlord. I would urge sensible Yoruba folks to stay away from this nonsense. Undoubtedly some will say it is tongue-in-cheek but we all know "many a true word are said in jest". Anyone comfortable with being a Nigerian , even in these days of ethnic unrest, and happy to use internet chat forums as intended will not be happy to come here and exalt any ethnic leader.

If you guys carry on with this nonsense, whoever emerges the whatever of Yorubaland does not speak for me or have any authority ahead of any other Yoruba person here. We are equal and should seek to keep it that way. We don't need any "tough Voltron" because we are not in battle with anyone. I would never have thought I would see a thread like this because I feel the Yorubas are a people who are very secure in themselves.

SMH. Bros, calm down let me see what I can do to help correct this grave injustice.
