Stop typing what you don't
know here!

You're neither Yoruba nor from the
North of Nigeria so why are you posting misleading info here?

I'm aware of a prominent Sunni Yoruba imam in Kano who lead the Muslims and indigenes of Kano in prayers. The Punch had a full page interview with him in 2015 (or after 2015) and he stated he is Yoruba.

There are thousands of Yorubas who have been living for decades in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Minna, Bauchi, etc, as big-time traders and other professions, and you would not immediately know because they
tend to live among and blend with the indigenes especially among the Yoruba Muslim Ummah. Same with
Ebiras and Auchi indigenes in Kano. Aisha Yesufu is from Auchi in Edo State but was born and raised in
Kano and you would think she is
Hausa initially. I'm NOT a Muslim
but it is good to be knowledgeable about these facts.

Centuries gone by, advanced history books that I've read indicate how Yoruba traders from Oyo Empire traded with Hausaland via the Nupe country, they also traded with Timbuktu in Mali, the Asanti Empire, and of course the Bini Empire which is closer.

Islam also was first brought into
Yorubaland by people from Mali over 500 years ago and the first mosque in Yorubaland was built
in Iwoland where Oba AbdulRasheed hails from. I read that Iwo Kingdom usually turbans their kings during coronation. In Lagos State, even in Epe (which has two monarchs one for Ijebu Epe, and the other for Eko Epe), the Eko Epe Oba is turbanned Islamically during coronation.

His ancestors fled to Epe (an Ijebu town) with Oba Kosoko after the British Naval ship bombardment of Eko Island (or Lagos Island) in 1861 after a fierce resistance.


Yorubas refered to Islam as
"Esin Imale" meaning "The
religion of Mali."

There were many indigenous
Yoruba Muslims long before the
Fulani-led jihads. This is why in the early 1800s, it was Yoruba Muslims that led a well-documented slave revolt in Bahia in Brazil because they and other Muslims from other
West African ethnicities were prevented from praying.


Read up on:
Male (Islamic) Slave Revolt in
Bahia, Brazil online via Google.
Male (derived from Imale) is the
Yoruba word still used in Brazil
for Islam.

Go to hell with your entitlement mentality. If you want so much of your demonic and blood sucking religion, why don't you genuinely support and champion the course of peaceful disintegration of that country so that you can have all you've wanted? You want your hijab and God forsaken Islamic cultures and values and you still want to reaping the resources from the people you love to hate and despise. It is as simple as ABC... , let's go our separate ways so that you can practice your religion and nobody will "impose" anything on you.
I pity how u always resort to empty allegations with no point in ur discussions.
There are Muslims in the nooks and crannies of this Nation. In this contemporary world where globalisation bring all people together no group of people can live in isolation that is why the people who imposed Christianity on u are making laws that accommodate what u hate in their Nations.
You are so lazy by claiming of having any resources that come from nature forgetting that u can't survive a week without the hardworking of Northern food. We in the North will never make such contentious statement of pushing for dividing the Nation because of diversity. We have Muslim brothers who are majority in the SW and have Christian neighbours all over here as such succumbing to weakness and asking for easiest way to live is not a choice for our big heart.
The whole world knows who are true killers; who are responsible for WW1, WW2 and current uprises and the sponsors in the world.
If u are dogmatic and extremely illiterate in ur religion then wake up to reality.

Emotional distress and hatred doesn't solve global challenges!

Buhari wouldn't have told the world he has a candidate if they didn't make him vomit his intention

Channels already know the candidate, elrufai could just have said Amaechi "or any person" is free to contest and stop there

Channels weren't the ones that forced him to reveal that if Amaechi wins ticket Buhari has power to nominate his vice

That means Amaechi is so close to the president chest that the president picks VP for him as a son

Atiku picked obi as VP by himself, ACN as a group picked VP for Buhari

PoliticsRe: To Balance Nigerian Geopolitics, South Must Rule For 30 Years Non-stop by ArewaNorth: 1:06pm On Mar 10, 2022
NigerianAngelo:
The South must rule for 30 years (2023 - 2053) just to balance Nigeria's Geopolitics.
HISTORY OF NIGERIA'S LEADERSHIP DISTRIBUTION BASED ON ETHNO-RELIGIOUS AND REGIONAL BACKGROUND
Below is the data that calculated the years Nigerians are ruled under religious, ethnic and geographical location considerations. 60 years since independence, Nigeria was ruled by:
11years Obasanjo- Yoruba
9 years Yakubu Gowon-Angas
8 years IBB-Nupe
6 years GEJ-Ijawa
6yrs Nnamdi Azikwe-Igbo
5 years Abacha-Kanuri
7 years Buhari (+2yrs military regime)- Fulani
3 years Shagari-Fulani
2yrs Yaradua-Tuareg
6 months Agunyi-Ironsi-Igbo
2years Murtala, Shonekan & Abdussalam-Fulani, Yoruba & Hausa.
If calculated along religious line, it can be seen that Nigeria was ruled under Christians Presidents for atleast 32years while Muslims Presidents ruled for 28 years.
When calculated along geographical location, it can be seen that South ruled for almost 24yrs while North rule for almost 36yrs.
Yoruba ruled for approximately 12years, Fulani ruled for less than 11yrs, Angas ruled for 9yrs, Igbos ruled for 6yrs, Ijaw had 6yrs, Kanuri had 5yrs, Nupe had 8yrs, Tuareg had 2yrs while Hausa had 1year only.
North-Western presided Nigeria for about 17yrs, South-West presided for about 12yrs, North-Central enjoyed approximately 18yrs, South-South presided for 6yrs, South-East had 6yrs while North-East is the only zone still struggling to get to the apex position.

humberjade:
By now, people should know how incompetent Malami is...it is his job to vet these things and advice the President accordingly. But he is too shallow to detect a crucial part of the bill that would eventually come bsck to bite him in the butt. Quota System failure cheesy
Though I may not like Malami but did u ever have a better AGF than Malami?
I don't know ur age and ur knowledge of the past administrations but ur criticism to most PMB officials is likely to be personal because most of them have done far better than their predecessors.
We had the worst justice dispensation system and gang raping of judiciary under PDP particularly OBJ where Ministers, opposition party members, politicians were assassinated for simple raisons. We had the same set of people who allowed President to remove Govenernors illegally without following any legal process, we witnessed the removal of about 3 Senate Presidents and 3 Speakers under just one tenure, we witnessed the invasion of NASS in uncountable numbers, we saw dirty things that I don't know what u would say if it were now and at that time people were afraid to utter a word.
Malami might have refused to advised PMB on that matter because he wanted the law to favour him but it is clear that he technically used a legal backing to have asked for the amendment of the section not ignorantly or by violating any law.
I wonder how someone will hate a person who is oblivion to your existence!

Religion in this case doesn't matter, this is the issue of trust and friendship in diversity. The relationship between North and West predated many centuries especially in areas of religion, culture, marriages and economy. This metamorphosed into politics, and socioeconomic aspects of our daily affairs.

They wish to reside in the SW making money that sustains their backward villages yet all they have is disdain, dislike and disrespect for Yorubas.

"Crisis Actors", Fake Body Bags: False Claims About Ukraine War Go Viral

Since the time Ukraine war began, internet has been flooded with a lot of misinformation, with users saying everything is a hoax.

Any war-like situation leads to flow of false or misleading information, especially on social media. The same is happening in Ukraine, where Russian forces launched an invasion nearly two weeks ago.

Some of these "bizarre" theories claim that the Ukraine war is a hoax, and exaggerated by the West.

Despite the images showing thousands of people leaving Ukraine, some of the internet users have refused to believe that the crisis is real.

They present outlandish claims that actors are being used to act out scenes from an attack to prove that the war is a hoax. One such claim is in the form of a video circulating on Facebook and other platforms, which shows a young man and a young woman having fake blood applied to his face. Many people are calling them “crisis actors”.

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.
*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*
*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.
The average Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.
However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish you with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe.

"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa.

Royal Wedding: Oluwo Of Iwo Set To Marry Kano Princess
The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi


The 27-year-old is a niece of Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.

The wedding, which is scheduled to hold on March 19, 2022, will take place at the residence of the Madakin Kano, in Kano.

Firdaus, a granddaughter of the deceased Emir Ado Bayero, will hold a grand reception strictly for ladies at Gidan Rumfa inside the Kano Emir’s palace shortly after the wedding.

Oluwo is remarrying barely three years of divorce from his first marriage with a Jamaican woman.

He became the Oluwo of Iwo in November 2015, at the age of 48.

A letter had trended on social media about a month ago where the Oluwo was allegedly soliciting financial support for the wedding from the governor of Osun State.

However, the palace, on 11th February, quickly released a statement to refute the claim, saying the letter was fake and not from the Oluwo.

Butterfly thinking itself to be a bird.
This is the honest truth. Shettima campaigned for PDP in 2019 and now talking rubbish about APC matters. He can't make the same statement against Atiku. They just register association in out names and be spreading threats, division, falsehood and all sort of nonsense.

These groups made a very valid points. We can't be ungrateful enough to reject Tinubu or any other SW candidate!

Anxiety as Joseph Egbunike, DIG investigating Abba Kyari slumps, diesPublished on March 9, 2022 By Ochogwu Sunday

A Deputy Inspector General of Police, Joseph Egbunike, who was in-charge of the Force Criminal Investigations Department, is dead.

According to reports, Egbunike died on Tuesday, after he slumped in his office, in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The DIG, who hails from Onitsha, Anambra State, was until his death, heading the Special Investigation Panel constituted by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to investigate the activities of the suspended head of the Police Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari, over money laundering allegations.

While details of the incident is still sketchy, it was gathered that Egbunike had met his doctor for a medical check-up after feeling unwell.

Few minutes after he was given drugs, the senior officer who was said to have driven to office in company of family members, in his usual bubbling self, slumped and died.

The happiest people who celebrate this judgement are his kinsmen. Honestly, those people don't at all know what they're looking for. I have never seen extremely primitive set of people like them in my life.
It is uncivilized manner for someone to just hate Umahi for joining APC.
No party will give ticket to people who hate and insults everybody with no conscience.

PoliticsRe: Day After Buhari Puts Him In Charge, Osinbajo Summons NNPC Executives by ArewaNorth: 7:34am On Mar 08, 2022
Mazulu:
Less than 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari declared that his Vice is now in charge of the country as he departed for a two-week medical vacation to London, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has summoned the NNPC Group Managing Director to the Presidential Villa as the fuel scarcity in the country lingers.

Aso Rock Correspondents and other Villa sources confirmed to Quest Times that Mr Mele Kyari, the GMD of the NNPC and some other executives of the company were seen this afternoon coming into the Villa and leaving soon after.

It was disclosed that in what was a short meeting, the Vice President asked for an update on how the NNPC intended to quickly resolve the lingering fuel scarcity. “The NNPC boss gave an impressive report and plan to the VP was and was seen leaving the Villa walking briskly as if he has been given a firm order,” said a reliable source.

Sources added that a sense of urgency to resolve the fuel scarcity was stressed by the Vice President at the meeting, a queue the NNPC executives also took. “Judging from the look of things the scarcity would be over very soon, ” said another source close close to the NNPC executives.

The fuel scarcity started weeks ago when it was discovered that an adulterated fuel was supplied to the country and its withdrawal created a huge supply gap which has caused the lingering fuel scarcity.

Buhari has constantly been meeting with NNPC boards on this fuel issue. This isn't something new. This fuel issue is beyond media noise. Govt had no intention of subsidising fuel this year and didn't include it in budget. They deliberately brought bad fuel just to manage the time they can be able to fund the subsidy they never budgeted for that is why nobody will be punished for this matter except if somebody will be used as a sacrifice on this lingering issue.

Abeg I wan know, is Nigeria also investing in other countries? huh
Nigeria has become the biggest economy on the African continent over the last 30 years.
Many countries are rushing to invest in the Nigeria because of her enormous potential in Agriculture, Telecommunications, minerals, oil and gas.
Dangote group now owns and operates over 18 subsidiaries, operating in ten African countries. Dangote cement was able to sustain 54,000 jobs in four African countries.
Rich Nigerians especially those who looted from our treasury have more investments in France, US, UK, UAE and other countries than the investments of Dangote and BUA in Nigeria combined!
