WesternOligarch:
Lol....this confused social political climber.

Guy, even if you want to counter a position, provide a brainy write-up or keep quiet. Your response is a disservice.

TheSupleemLeada:


You're arguing based off false assertions and it's quite irritating. The election you speak of in Oyo and Ondo state were largely a tie between both parties plus considering all the suffering from your beloveth party APC do you expect total support in 2015 from the state when herdsmen have almost crippled agricultural activities in the state? South west governors from all parties came out to form Amotekun last year and your APC party men like malami were foaming in the mouth like idiots pushing against the governors from protecting their region......PDP and APC are both failures but it has never been this bad. Or should herdsmen take over our land before we get Yoruba presidency No Yoruba man's life is worth the ambitions of tinubu....other regions can be sacrificing the lives of their people for some presidency but not in Yorubaland. I have no issues with tinubu but he went to the north instead of picking from a range of better leaders in the north he went on to partner with a sick dog called buhari and we're all seeing the consequences for that.

I don't play party politics, it's tribal politics as long as it's a Yoruba that has his regions interest.

if you fail to see why Tinubu had to partner Buhari, you are a sophisticated mumu man.

Ovamboland:


How many northern states were able to rightly divide local issues by voting different parties at state and federal level? Who is supposed to be sophisticated in politics? Even if you have issues with Ajimobi because he talks too much not that he failed to perform, why on earth will you want to replace Osinbajo with Obi in Aso Rock? What exactly will Obi do for Oyo or larger SW that Osinbajo will not or has not given?
That's shallow thinking and emotional voting that even illiterate northern voters are starting to overcome by the ability to switch between local issues and strategic group interest.

Every region positions to take central power, how really does making Obi VP or Atiku president in 2019 help SW move closer or take power in 2023? Maybe you can explain.

This is the power that ibo have now started killing themselves including Ibo professors over. That's what sophisticated Yoruba want to throw away because Ajimobi now late, spoke in a lousy manner.

You might say herdsmen, will getting farther away from power make solutions come faster? Will giving it to Ibo make SW a priority to protect SW? Make it make sense.

Guy, you are too much.

OlogoJ:
@MrMaestro: You see the Yorubas that are kissing ibo azzes, especially on social media, are doing so for optics; to appear 'woke', sophisticated, and detribalized. Not realizing that ibos no send them; ibos will only like you if they feel they can intimidate and dominate you. These yorubas know quite well that 'saint Obi' is no different than any other Nigerian politician, but they're blinded by a want for validation. Tinubu has helped more Ibos than Obi has cared to help yorubas, but none of that matters because there's an agenda to demarket him in order to elevate ibos like Obi. The same Obi that is a renowned bigot and ibo supremacist. It is what it is.

Who does not know Yorubas especially christians are naive about Nigerian politics? Their Islamophobia has blinded them to Igbo shenanigans.

This will not work. They have to start from Basic schools.

Ayiri that can barely communicate in good English

What has english got to do with this matter? Is speaking english a pre-requisite to being a warri chief?

emmanok24:


Are you Itsekiri?

Do you know the Prince himself is married to a Benin Woman? That’s even by the way!

Now, the claim of this 1970s edict disqualifying a Prince because of his maternal connection is totally malicious and hold no ground in all sphere! It’s a totally irrelevant edict that was borne out of stupidity!

If you were a Prince and this claim was made when you’re fully qualified for the Stool. What would be your reaction?

And back to Ayiri, a rogue and illiterate who was made an Ologbosere out of the need to reward him for his support of the late Olu you think suddenly can lord over the process of choosing a king?!

Bros, Ogiame Atuwase III is BIOLOGICALLY qualified for the office he holds.

Hold you peace and pray for our King!

Cheers!

I am interested in learning something here. Could you respond to this assertion by the person you quoted.

"Your mother have to be ishekiri or Benin to be king the king's mother is Yoruba" Is this correct? Is the new Olu's mother Yoruba?

Why is Buckeyemedia1 crying all over this thread?
Dem swear for you?

I can't even imagine this!
Officials writing external bodies without proper approval from Head of organization. I hope they were well paid by their sponsors.

Lagos should include a law prohibiting illegal gathering on the bridge.
Protesters on such bridge should be treated as saboteurs dealt with appropriately

muykem:
Hatred has taken better part of you. Compare igbo stake in Nigeria under Obasanjo a Yoruba man and their stake under fulani man? I am not surprised though because I have heard a story of people going to herbalist not for their greatness but that no member of their family should be greater than them.

This comment, very funny.

DeLaRue:
People also forget that if the younger generation of Messrs Buni succeed, the political career of many of the northern old guard will come to screeching end.

Governors, like the guy in Kano, & other conservative political heavyweights will do everything in their power to protect their personal interest.

That means stopping Mr Rufai's clique from gaining control of the government post 2023.

Mr Ganduje will be well aware that he could end up in jail if those people come into power. So, I see him doing whatever it takes to frustrate them. I see him parking his political bus in Mr Tinubu's or someone else's garage.

Jail or not. If you were an APC stalwart, between Tinubu and those people, who would you trust post-PMB days?

Many airlines ply Lagos already. Not the case for Uyo.

AldrichAmes:


You’re a bigger fool than the Fulani cow you quoted if you think I’m IPOB. At your old age, you can’t use your brain to think logically apart from what your stomach would eat.

I have a reason for ignoring the Fulani cow you quoted because this is a Yoruba affair. But trust an old fool like you to keep being a slave to Fulanis. The Fulani cow can get brave all he wants on the internet but he won’t try it offline with me unless he wants his head disconnected from his body.

P.S: only people with brains who can post coherent logical replies are invited to the thread.

Why do you think people support only things that bring food to them? The problem with some of you and your undoing is your arrogance. I won't say more than that. Goodluck with conducting Yoruba affair on public forum.

Officialgarri:
Why are Igbos crying more than the concerned? Can't you mind your business and strategize how to win a presidential election too?

Their uprising has been crushed. Their next agenda will be to please the north by any means necessary including sabotaging any Yoruba that tries to contest election.

They are so predictable.

T9ksy:




There's no gainsaying that Egbere Jonathan's govt was anti-yoruba however this present govt. which comprises of yorubas as No. 2 and No. 4 position is busy killing us in our homes and farms. Meanwhile, none of our so-called leaders have suddenly gone deaf, dumb and blind.

Look at it this way.

The killings are not only in the SW, in fact SW is the least affected going by statistics - not emotions. The person PMB we are all accusing of deliberately allowing the killings has much more killings at his backyard - NW.

We can accuse the government of incompetence but not ethnic.

Ikwerelastborn:
what are yoruba people actually protesting for.? Let's be factual without emotions
For igbos they protest for marginalisation but same can't be said of the yorubas because they're not marginalised, even they mocked igbos after buhari won and said they put their eggs all in one basket to show they're part of the govt, so why exactly are they protesting and for what?

I am Yoruba, I don't understand too. May be somebody will come and tell us later. It is not marginalization because PMB has compensated us the most since the British left.

I perused through the article while blazing my weed

I must say the article is devoid of intellect

Just hyping and praising the mere house boy in aso rock

This guy cracks me up despite his mumu support for the useless PDP. Guy, don't worry. We are legalizing weed.

Tinubuadvocate:
Please it's only southeast that provoking you.

What is this rubbish?

Grayoso:


He is right though. In the Nigerian context, being tolerant, accommodating and equitably open to hosting divergent group of people can be a big disadvantage and nuisance as has being the case for Yorubas and the SW.

Yes, if you are not an independent country with some form of control of things like the army, immigration, police etc. Your best bet is to be conservative. Especially when you have compatriots that are fiercely conservative like the Igbos and Fulani. How our people cannot see the danger in tolerance here beats me. We can easily be overrun by Federal power in the hands of an ethnic champion from one of the conservative groups. Although diversity has its own advantages like economic progress, but those advantages can be eroded in a twinkle of an eye.

I believe its the free education program of Awolowo that eroded local intelligence from our people. It was actually ok at that time because we had a semi-autonomous region.

thebosstrevor1:
If they praise you for your ethnic diversity know that one day, they are coming to take what is yours.

Diversity is a killer and a stealer. What diversity does is to take the opportunity meant for natives and give it to non indigenes, then you and non natives start fighting for resources and opportunities in your own land leading to ethnic tensions.

Those that praise the south west for diversity will never allow it in their land, go to their universities and ministries, only natives works there.

They preach diversity when they want to take what is meant for you and then preach you are not from here when you go to their own land to seek opportunity.

Wow wow wow

humberjade:


Yeah I guess your likes are contented with the mediocre governor that was shoved down the State's throat...keep enjoying the clueless one

The governor was elected by the majority of Ogun voters. You can move to a better run state like Rivers if you don't like Ogun anymore.

humberjade:


It is very rare to have a Nigerian politician who possesses all qualities expected of one in a sane society.

I would rather have a project guru like Wike, than have one with manners but does close to nothing. After all, nah mad man fit handle mad man...People wey normal for naija no plenty.

They should please give me Wike and take Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State. That one, it took him 2 years to enter gear 1, even when he did, he reduced the sizes of all the roads he's been constructing...like what da hell In this age when the State's population is fast increasing

That's what Yorubas call " gba ma pami"...."just manage this and let me live in peace"

God forbid bad thing. Instead of Wike in my state, na you go move to Rivers.

PMB and our next VP

Billyonaire666:


I do not have a career. My job is chatting on nairaland and keeping the place busy.

LOL

Monogamy:
Long overdue

Nice one

Development of Ogun state is very paramount.. As governor Abiodun is initiating and completing old projects, so he has been busy inviting investors to the state..

The business part of Abiodun is working

Very correct.

God bless our governor.

Adakintroy:



Twitter gives a running, swimming's aerodynamics phucks about numbers. If you think twitter don't care about loosing their largest African market then you my friend has no business Gene. You don't know about how the business mind works. It's all about numbers. That number drop I pint, investors will ask questions.

You just don't value yourself or take yourself Seriouse that's why they attempt to steam role you. You have more than 40million subscribers and you joking with it. You a clown my friend. a red nosed, green orange red hair, multi colored dress wearing clown.

You have never taken your country Seriouse and you don't have strong men to represent you.

White man is big on core human values. One if which is patriotism. Even if your country is shiit. You don't go about shouting it from the roof like you asssholes always do. That's how you will go abroad and call your country shiit in front of foreigners.

As advance as they are you saw a cops kneel in front to of a black man till he died that's their version of tribalism( herdsmen kiling based on perceived supremacy) . And with all their tech and iron Man movies they still record the most deaths in the covid series. What did you say about those? Nothing. You a slave so master will always be right.

They will still scream to your face how great their nation is and you will still believe. Because again you a slave in between thoughts.

Nice.

Action po bi ogogo

NewDawn2O21:
just went through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6601993/2nd-niger-bridge-opens-traffic and found out that the categories of igbos on this forum is full of hate.
Honestly I think those self acclaimed igbos on this forum don't even reside in the South East.
I recently passed by Onitsha and came across the Second Niger bridge and was so impressed by the speed of work that has been carried out, the bridge is almost near completion and even though I'm not a fan of Buhari but I must commend him on this one and this guy below has said it all

Now what baffles me the most is the way these guys were still ranting on that thread and some even said it's a project on paper which shows how ignorant and deluded these folks are and this is the same set of people that will still complain of marginalization and being the most hated tribe.
With this I can see that there is nothing Buhari/FG can do to please these guys. No need forcing them to be together just give them their 5 states and let them secede and go their way so the country can have peace.
The support they had for the UGM shows you how most of them are deluded, ignorant and bitter.

Appointments is what the Igbo people want, not projects. Afterall, they can ship their a-sses to Lagos and Kano if their land becomes unliveable

OP, so your own freedom of movement includes cows?

They should just vote Tinubu. They won't have to study at all.

Daz all

sulaak:


Tafawa was part Fulani.

The three Fulani presidents were elected, confirming my point of Fulani domination of the Northern Nigeria political landscape. Can you name me one ethnic Hausa president, Emir, Sultan or Governor?

I just do not agree it is their fault. Consider Buhari, he contested elections four times before he was able to win. Why do we want to blame such person for dominating?

Take for example. Why is it that Christian's in the North don't make serious effort like this to run for election? Abi they can not lobby and cajole Christian's in the south?

The problem is people don't want to do the work of networking, and sacrificing their immediate enjoyment for long term agenda. This is the kind of argument women make when they want a position to be given to them.

Other people that want to dominate will have to do the dirty work too. Have a course, stay the course even when losing.

People should put in the work and do politics. Not envy Fulani success.
