[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=607950.msg7769192#msg7769192 date=1298241987]I think mr.yoruba man is getting pissed. Too bad none of kings in Igbo land were sacked by another tribal group. [/quote]hope you are not suggesting he is yoruba because you are wrong

read his previous posts

Wadeoye:
I dont understand what these Igbo people think they are. Igbo more than Yoruba in Lagos? How?

Where are they in Lagos? - Ayobo, Ipaja, Dopemu, Agege, Ikorodu, Ogba, Mushin, Ojuelegba, Epe, Badagary, Isheri, Ikotun, Egbeda,

The population of Igbo here is not more than 20% of the population of Lagos.

If there population is anything above 20%, why have we not seen so many Igbo cancellors, chairmen, honorables, etc in Lagos?

Let all of them vote for GEJ, that will not give GEJ more than 15% of the vote in SW.

thank for the bolded

i have even forgotten those area of lagos,.,. sad but true the population of igbos in lagos has been overestimated by the eze indigbo of lagos

well all said and done, i know even the so called 15% of igbos will follow the populace because most of them are evn abagbro and OPC member now in lagos. some even danfo driver will others are in yaba mixing into the community and some even know haw to speak yoruba than ileke-idi herself

You even said Agagu is Ijaw-Yoruba? is okitipupa ijaw land? maybe you drop down on ya head when you were small boy, theres nothin like Ijaw-Yoruba. you are a Crazy person. You are not from Ondo state liar liar!

The Yoruba in ondo riverine area are Ikale, Ilaje, igbokoda, Irele, Zion, Okitipupa Agbabu etc
You must be a fake Ijaw cos even real Ijaw cannot claim Ilaje land or claim Ijaw-Yoruba. Ijaw no be Yoruba! stop saying nonsense shiit on internet. this small boy is crazy. Try and go to Ode-Irele and visit market and say Irele is Ijaw town and you will know wetin go happen to your small head.

yeye small boy liar wey no no anything.

Ijaw people know dem place in Ondo riverside that is why no Ijaw person can come here to boast nonsens ebcos of these thugs, they stil remember 2003, they no wan suffer again.[/quote]i have said it that he is not from ondo because if he has been there, he will not be saying lies on the internet

i have been there and ijaw in the riverine and costal area are very insignificant moverover it is a small piece of land to the south east of ondo. even the itsekiri are now coming from the east to displace them

this man even said aguga was ijaw can you imagine he is clearly clueless or just lying

[quote author=tpiah! link=topic=607950.msg7768629#msg7768629 date=1298234709]in yorubaland, if your father is yoruba, you are yoruba.

these ijaw mixtures might be matrilineally yoruba-i'm not sure.

in any case, mixture is nothing new in the southwest.[/quote]not only that, it is also the case in the north and east

ezeuche is ibibio and igbo

in the north fulani mixed with hausa, kanuri even igala are a lot so i see no big deal

ondo indigenes are not ijaw,.,. that is the reality whether ileja etc they are not ijaw. they are yoruba and trace themselve to ife, they are in OPC, Yoruba council of elders, afenifere etc

what else do they want for prove

to my ijaw brothers, you are from balysea, rivers state that is all do not push you luck because we northerners will get involve as it is distablizing the country

I am in no way agreeing that the man is not yoruba,but, at the same time, I am in no way agree that he is. In reality, as well as politically, being from a majority state would leave some minority to change and adopt, maybe not completely, the culture and ways of the majority in order to receive full benefits or integration.[/quote]ok i understand but do not let ijaws bull you to make you people landlocked

you are saying
1.) there are yoruba youruba proper

2.) there are ijaw-yoruba mixture

but i am saying yes and this ijaw-yoruba mixture speak and act like yoruba, since you have been to ondo you know that; you will not know the difference unless he tells you his name.

but thanks for you time

rethink:
@Alhaji Harem

Because you have been to Ondo state makes you an authority? Hit your head on table you are typing on, tell me are you show you have any brain at all?

rethink, you really need to rethink here. who is showing authority

he made false claims and i told him he can not lie to me because i have been to almost every part of nigeria and fortunately you me i have been to ondo as well .

you see, i can not be lied to in terms of southern nigeria,.,.,.,. i know a lot you people do not know

look instead of lying to yourselves, speak the truth when it is needed

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=607950.msg7768510#msg7768510 date=1298233578]Its true. The same also happens in Rivers with the kalabari-ijaws and the Igbos. Asari Dokubo is a good example. According to the african tradition of whatever your father is, you are, Asari Dokubo is an Igbo man with mixed kalabari blood. His birth name is Melford Uzodinma Dokubo Goodhead(Isioma) Jr. Goodhead is translated to english. When you go to Kalabari territory you will see many of those with the name "Goodhead".

http://www.alhajimujahiddokubo-asari.com/family.htm[/quote]no it is not true, he is called yoruba because he is a Yoruba man

he is not called yoruba because he is from ondo but because he is a yoruba man. do not let and iddeeiot tell you lies

they are twisting history and territories here and you are falling for there trap.

go reseach about him before you call him yoruba because he is from ondo state

[quote author=Βουκέφαλος link=topic=607950.msg7768469#msg7768469 date=1298233212]he is called a yoruba because is town is within the ondo states borders, what i am telling you is the people of the riverine area in ondo states trade and do many things together and speak similar languages.
Like i said an ondo indigene will call him ILAJE.

and my point is Irele people arent unfamilar with ijaws so it want an invasion they are the same people but different states[/quote]no no no you were aguring that the riverine or costal area of ondo is an ijaw speaking area and i said NO

The riverine area of ondo do not speak ijaw language,.,. Fact because i have been to ondo before so stop telling me crap

yes there are areas in ondo that are ijaw people but even most of them speak yoruba now,.,. i have seen a lot of them from ondo called utomi that speak yoruba even better than the native and they do not even consider themselves as ijaws

yes they are called ilaja or whatever you call them but they are part and parcel of the yoruba ethnic group

ijaw call them ileja, yorubas call them yoruba, igbos call them nigabati, and we call them Yoruba

ok, i hope you are no longer confused

Obiagu1:
To the Ijaws, everyman that is riverine or has riverine culture is Ijaw whether he speaks Ijon or not. 

you dey mind them, i pray yorubas, edo and igbos strat killing them.

excanny:
In the case of the SW, I doubt if GJ will lose. Worst thing will be getting close to 50% of the votes there.

Someone gave me a modest percentage of the demographies in Lagos.
Yoruba- 40% 70%
Igbo- 20% 12%
Hausa-15% 8%
SS-15% 7%
Others-10% 3%

Of these you already have 35%(Igbos+SS) who have openly declared their support for Jonathan.

Let's say we put into consideration some SE/SS who might decide to vote differently as X. Remember some Yorubas also do not have a soft spot for Tinubu's party/Buhari. Let's put this group as Y.

X cancels Y, and the 35-40% sure votes for GJ stands.

Believe me, if GJ doesn't cause an upset in the SW, he wont get less than 50% of the votes there.

that is the true estimate, just because you do not see the yorubas in the city does not mean they are not there

go to epe and other rural areas in lagos they are there

we and igbos are more in the city than rural areas in lagos, the yorubas are in every corner of lagos to be honest

but if we want to decieve ourselves then your estimate is right

BY DAYO JOHNSON
AKURE—POLICE in Ondo State have secured the release of Oba Samuel Oyegbemi, abducted by some militant youths in riverine Ijaw community, Iju-Osun, Ondo State.
Last week the militants invaded the town and abducted Oba Oyegbemi, set his palace ablaze, other buildings and allegedly killed five persons.
Speaking with newsmen, Ondo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, PRO, Mr. Aremu Adeniran, said the monarch, was hale and hearty.
Adeniran said a combined team of the anti-riot and regular police officers, deplored in the area, secured the release of the monarch on Saturday.
He said the monarch was in high spirit and was not rough-handled by the Ijaw youths who abducted him after setting his palace and other houses ablaze, during their rampage.
He said nobody had been arrested by the police over the unfortunate development, but confirmed that the command had begun investigation into the matter.
Reports had it that some Militants youths from Ijaw invaded Iju-Osun town in the Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State and burnt the place.
Adeniran, however said only two lives were lost while the palace of the monarch and two other houses were torched.
According to him that the ijaw youths were probably on a revenge mission following the discovery of the body of an ex militants in Iju-Osun, on Thursday.
He said, “Security has been beefed up to avert further loss of life Ikale. Our men are there.
We are making efforts to release the monarch. The man is good. No report of any clash was recorded before the discovery of the corpse of the late monarch in the town”
It was learnt that the invasion of the town by the ex-militants, followed the mysterious death of a middle aged Ijaw man, simply identified as Samuel in the town.
The deceased reportedly hailed from Arogbo Ijaw in Ese odo local government.
A High Chief in the town told reporters on Friday that the militants shot sporadically and later set several houses including the palace of the Olughogho of Iju –Osun, ablaze.
He said residents of neighboring towns like Ajagba, Akotogbo and other villages in the area had also fled their towns in anticipation of possible invasion by aggrieved militants in the Ijaw communities .

A PEOPLES Democratic Party, PDP, Chieftain in Sokoto State, Muktar Mapia, weekend, advocated death penalty for public office holders found guilty of embezzling public funds.
Mapia said in Sokoto that such law would bring to an end cases of corrupt practice among public office holders. He said that the nation would have achieved a lot since independence if proper measures were put in place to check the activities of corrupt public office holders.
He said: “Just take a look at China. Any public officer found wanting is publicly executed. We have suffered too much in the hand of corrupt public office holders and it is time to put behind us corruption for the sake of generation yet unborn.”
He said that the future generation would not “forgive us if we fail to lay a sound economic foundation for them”. He also called on the judiciary to complement the effort of the Federal Government in the fight against corrupt practice.
“For us as a nation to achieve our desire of building a strong and viable country, we must fight corruption in all ramifications“, he said.

Alj harem must be having a good laugh at this. I mean he doesn't need to post messages to divide the southerners. Southerners are still largely primitive in thinking, you don't need to divide them , they will naturally do.

This is very embarrassing to my race. This is what happens when people adopt foreign religions especially christianity. the yoruba pastors have finished whatever courage remained in Yorubas. something must be done and quickly to arrest this situation. Bomb in ikeja, 1000 died due to panic, rumour of fight in abatoir in lagos, everybody ran away from abbatoir(except my homeboys agbero who are largely muslims anyway)everyday, its the same thing.

In the mean time, I hope there would be enough tension to make Jonathan lose this election in the SW. The ijaw boys should keep it coming, cowards deserve to die anyway,

so you would perfer a fisherman to be the president to bring bad luck to nigeria and his clueless vice sambo

you really need to do something about your brain that is touching each time

you people are only voting for jonathan based on his ethnicity

secondly even the fisherman jonathan started playing ethnic politics by saying his name was an igbo name which makes him igbo,.,. he even met ojukwu to name him igbo how sad

secondly, ijaw militancy should have ended all this days if not that we have a pure crystal mumu as our president

thridly, why did he rename libarty stadium to awolowo stadium bring ethnic leaders to play

he has side lined then north

yet you people want nigeria to be better, you want everone to be able to live everywhere in relative peace but still our own president is playing ethnic politics

ohaneze now thinks of nwodo as pdp leader when they have thrown zoning out of the window.

the so-called igbos are voting for cpc because cpc provided igbo deputy govenor as a candidate and yet you want igbos to live in peace in a lagos.

our so-called fisherman has to sent solders to niger/delta but he is sending solders to jos,.,. you see he has misplaced his brain in the creeks

our president has not address the issue of a bomb that almost killed chime but he is thinking of winning an election what out even a word on the issue.

he appointed special adviser to dispora affires when we have ambasedors to each country and have miniter of foreign affires

this election would be a funny and interesting one

by Olawale Olaleye

Barring any last minute changes, Mr. Afolabi Tajudeen Adeola, former Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, former chairman of the National Pension Commission (Pencom), and former member on the (Tony) Blair Commission on Africa, may have been named the running mate of the fledgling candidacy of the anti-corruption czar, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

Ribadu is the presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). If this happens, it would follow on the heels of the Chief MKO

Abiola-Alhaji Babagana Kingibe Muslim-Muslim ticket, which was widely accepted by Nigerians across regional and ethnic lines in the annulled 1993 presidential election.

Analysts believe it may work again because both Ribadu and Adeola are not known to be religious champions, practising their faith privately and quietly. They are equally known to work across religious and tribal lines.

Party sources confirmed that discussions and consultations are still on-going on the choice of Adeola, and it is expected that matters relating to the pairing of duo will be concluded later today in the evening to beat the INEC deadline tomorrow (February 21) for the substitution of presidential candidates and their running mates.

When contacted last night, Adeola confirmed that he had been approached by the leadership of the ACN but that they were yet to conclude discussions.

The former banker, who likened the decision to a marriage between two people, also admitted that issues relating to the development must be concluded today.

“By the grace of God, everything will be resolved by this time tomorrow (today, Sunday).”

Adeola added that all related issues have to be carefully looked into before a final decision is taken. He said the offer is not what he is taking lightly.

Also confirming the story, one of the ACN governors said the choice of Adeola as Ribadu’s running mate is one of the intelligent decisions the party has taken at this time of the year.

He described Adeola as a detailed person who would naturally pair with a Ribadu, an administrative hand.

The governor said there is the need for a running mate, who would take up all the detailed assignments that the presidential job demands, especially in the quest for a better Nigeria.

He said the Ribadu-Adeola ticket would go down in history as one of the best ever produced in the country by any political party, adding, “We are in this to win and not to consider what some class of people would think about a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“Even the political class is waiting to break away from the old order. They don’t just know how to go about it.”

The governor, who sounded excited about the development said Adeola is a respectable young man who has paid his dues in the development, of the country.

As co-founder and ex-managing director of GTBank, he said Adeola walked away when the ovation was loudest. He posited that Adeola had also handled many sensitive and vital assignments in the country and beyond.

“He has what it takes to rebuild this country. This country needs rebuilding and not rebranding like the PDP is doing. Nigeria needs root and branch reformation.

“So, we can’t have people who are part of the problem as part of the solution. It would not work. That is the difference between the PDP candidate who is though a nice guy, but is clueless,” he said.
