I hope it sinks in.

God bless Yorubaland and those with us, Awolowo's image can never be tranished

I don't think these people realise that After likes of Oduduwa, Oramiyan, sango and co we are talking of Awolowo. Maybe it should be spelt out to them

when you read craps Igbo people write on Awolowo, you wonder whether these people are crazy or some sort

The title Mr Ayo put is the best

The name Awolowo represents one of the brightest spots in the history of theYoruba people. This latest attack on him is an attack on Yoruba history and its people and it has raised this pertinent question for Yoruba people, ‘What do they really want from us?’


But these people are too du,mb to realise.

Prof Corruption: I dey follow your tori! But why can't we arrest this Tinubu and prosecute him? What's PDP waiting for? What you call evidence is hear say that can not stand any scrutiny. We can argue back and forth from now till tomorrow on that but Tinubu remains an upright fellow except of course he's convicted.
PDP is not a good alternative. They have been in power in SW before and you know the end result. Even if we must dump ACN for whatever reason at all, I still prefer the likes of Jimi Agbaje etc. PDP is a cancer, once it touches your body, you are doomed.

If the likes of Jimi Agbaje show interest, we should consider them.

LOL at tori, no be Lagos we dey. I know what I am taking about

You talk of Jimi Agbaje, well I don't mind so long as he does the right thing and does not end up working for tinubu at the end of the day.

EXCELLENCE Abia: if he owns a factory What is the problem, or the People that give him there salary are charmed, come and have a view in ABIA STATE then you WILL understand

LOL my brother Abia na next level. This is Lagos aka the face of the Nation called Nigeria so am more interested in things being done right. It is good to own a factory but here are the questions needed to be answered

1. HOW DID HE GET CAPITAL TO OWN ONE

2. WHY IS HE COLLECTING LAGOS STATE TAX ?

LMAO !!!!!!!!

pazienza: igbogiri= igbo what
owa= we have another owa in ezeagu lga of enugu and in ika of delta
iru= face/front

igbogiri= igbo what
owa= we have another owa in ezeagu lga of enugu and in ika of delta
iru= face/front

alhaji,what do they mean in kanuri/yoruba?

Igbogiri - bush/forest everywhere
Owa - Skin
Iru - locust bean / Or tail

inyele - Back of the house/ backyard ..... in reference to a forest

Prof Corruption: Even if PDP is presenting Bode George as candidate? ACN is not that bad. People just hate the sight of Tinubu. They don't have any evidence of wrongdoing against him.

Not bode George but like of Dosumu and co. Do not make Lagos an ACN business center if not we yorubas would regret it.

Just cus tinubu is not convicted does not mean he is not MORE CORRUPT THAN BODE GEORGE. Bode was just unfortunate that he was setup.

Billyoirne has given you good evidence, do not listen to Eko ile and co they are just paid agents. I do talk my own

If you ACN the next Lagos state Gov, I can sure you we go regret am because it would be business as usual for Tinubu and co. Not that Tinubu would not do all in his power but money and spiritual to make sure ACN wins Lagos cos all his loot would go down the drain.

To keep ACN on their toes and PDP IN THE SW (Note ACN/PDP in the SW including edo and delta is different from PDP in other regions lets not mistake the two) on their toes, we need, I repeat we need to make sure PDP wins next Lagos elections if we Omo oduas want to keep enjoying good governance.

Forget all the bigots making fun, try to view things from an outsiders point of view and HAVE FORESIGHT OF THE IMPENDING DANGER. Already Lagos roads are very bad and Fashola did not do much like his first term (not that he did not try), but he is relaxed.

YES WE NEED IT

But make sure it is Ilaje lg.

234GT: We people of the south west have to save ourselves from the ACN. Why ask medical workers to work 24 hours when he should have employed more people and reduce unemployment? Answer: Employing more people means more wage bill and less money available to steal. Even bankers dont work 24 hours.

Better vote for PDP next election after Fashola if you want to keep ur leaders on their toes.

Next election ACN is sure not having my vote

extension: I took time to read your post ,pls give us tree or four points to support your write-up about tinubu being lagos problem.

Ok I would help the OP out. BTW I support the OP

1. Tinubu is monopolising Lagos state by privating our lands and companies. The lands in Lekki owned by awon Elegushi is not owned by Tinubu thanks to him he has successfully destoryed the family relation. The real OBA is on excel

2. Hitech and co are companies owned by tinubu so as to

a. collect tax from lagosians
b. over inflate the prices of project so as to collect more money

3. The chairmens and co have to give Emperor Tinubu part of their salaies so has to be in good terms with Tinubu. These are the money they can keep and use the money from the FG given to them of road and more important things

I can keep going on but those are the major issues for now.

IFEDILIEZE: meanin?

It means we are from ONE GOD/ALLAH and to him we shall return. He is the one that gives and he is the one that takes away Allah Akbar.

belltwelve: Igbo communities actually exist in 4 LGA's in Edo state, and is not limited to Igbanke.

"Not many Igbos know that there are several Igbo communities located in present day Edo State, in South South Nigeria.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajiun

adeara: Eyo is a popular Lagosian masquarae, no doubt about that. But, why is it always wearing a hat? And, why white hat and not other colors

Nope their are different colours to the hat depending on the family/clan they are representing
the colours I know are purple, red, black the popular white, green and blue. These colours are to show the part of eko you are from.

Just cos my igbo is not perfect does not disqualify anyone

zaa afa gi ngbe a kporo gi, A man that regards himself as Igbo o bu onye alaigbo

Yujin: You are Igbo if you have Igbo blood (whether father or mother) and you are absolutely loyal to the well-being of the Igbo nation. Anything short of this disqualifies you.

taaaaa !!!! I am Igbo cuz I feel and act Igbo at times. People call me Igbo so ..... who the hell are you to disqualify me ?

Shollypopz: lmao @ d number of hidden posts!!

Igbo ppl love us too much mehn, can't stop laughing!

very correct and we love them too

looplat: Hairy Igbo cannibals meeting with dirty boko haram suicide bomber and beggars.

Marriage made in heaven.

Boko haram bombs, cannibals eat the scattered bodies.

you make no sense, is that the bone of contention for this thread ?

good development I hope the Ohaneze too would meet with the Afenifere

@ Obiagu, haba if you chase the Yorubas out, of what use is it to you as an Igboman ?

In this world, people don't think of seperation or, killing others or chasing others from their ancestral land rather they dialogue. Unless you just hate the yorubas for no just reason

nagoma my friend, na iya tabbatar da cewa

inurmind: I agree with u icon aus.
Besides, igbos were just trying to be funny becos there really is alot of funny stuff yorubas are known for. And that is not an insult. Infact they were indirectly praising u guys by mentioning stuff about great respect and tolerance.

As matured human beings u should have ignored them and pushed on, even accepting some of the things they said. That way u would be the wise ones and they the fools.
But u clearly showed immaturity and weakness by letting it get to u and failing to go on.

gbammmmmmm you are very correct

revomind: From the top of my head, the ideal Yoruba;

Recognises the principle of fairness and the complex concept of the 'omoluabi.
Has immense respect for elders.
Loves to have a good time and celebrate.
Has a supreme regard for culture and tradition.
Believes in the power of a name.
Loves to acquire knowledge.
Believes in the sanctity of facts.
Believes male or female, a child is a child (women are allowed to head families).
Loves a woman with a good backside.
Is a calculating mind.
Believes the culture or the person comes before religion.
Has numerous names.
Detests oppression.

If there is any doubt, as a kid growing up, you immediately know you are Yoruba with each one of your four grandparents having a different oriki and its accompanying poem for you.

Pepper in the food may guide you too.

end of discussion.

omodapson: No mind them jare. They are just haters... I just dey wonder why an alien will be defining my identity? I am an awori from Badagry and very proud to be Yoruba.

Thank you jare eyan mi, I dislike it when people talk of issues they know nothing about.
