I know some Igbo youths are already fooling around but I know majority of Igbo youths are wise and won't fall for Soyinka's intellectual ethnic political mind games he is playing with Biafra.The tragedy of Biafra made Soyinka famous when he was detained during the war and he still want to continue to benefit from that tragedy.

'the tragedy lf biafra made Soyinka famous' what a stupid and ridiculous thing to say, some of you Ibos are cursed, you're so bitter, delusional, envious and filled with hate and that's why you'll never ever smell the Aso Rock until the British contraption disintegrate. What a callous thing to say.

aariwa:
Odi people and Tiv people should endeavor to wipe you and your generation out anytime any of you set foot their for the massacre of innocent civilians your fellow Yoruba man committed there as president

Yorubas don't like or see Obj as Yorubas, he literally murdered Yoruba youths which he tagged as OPC terrorists. Our choice was Olu Falae, never forget that.

tsdarkside:
it doesnt matter....
even without school all nigerians know about biafra war....
we have a oral teachin tradition anyways....

yorubas know about bini....
northerners know about mali and songhai....

what do you mean by Yorubas know about bini?

vickydevoka:
Their daughters are more beautiful

they are not more beautiful, there are beauties everywhere, you're ibo and idk why you people love to deny your identity. We are not interested abeg

Antai123:
Saka come and play for Nigeria, stop playing for England, u aren't from there.

he is Yoruba not Nigerian

Onogiede:
I will follow you constructively, you saying this out of political hate but know that who done pass you done pass you, I Edo full blood who will ever stand for truth will tell everyone that Nigeria have only one candidate that's Peter Obi take this to everywhere

go and vote for Peter Obi in biafra and leave Yorubas alone, February will soon come and your eyes will clear, your tribalism and hatred for Yorubas will not stop BAT... Just go with the Ibos to have biafra, and leave Yorubas alone. And wdym by who don pass you don pass you?

Onogiede:
shut up there and focus on ur life, is Osime a Yoruba that's help out in Lagos an other path of country? Bendel has produced greatest stars,.okocha, ighalo, ayegbeni, victor epegba, victor Osimen, Efe Ambrose, Sunday Olisah, great Oliha, osaseh, Oruma, so!! Many,..this is when Nigeria are know to be great footballers till them start using tribalism list in selecting players Nigeria became super chicken becoz every region in has area of concentration.

Bendel is not a tribe, speak for your tribe and stop accusing others of tribalism, we are not thesame, Nigeria is nothing but a forced artificial british contraption. #ProudlyYoruba

Glink2018:
Joining issue with some thugs on social media is always a...no ...no....for me...because they will always come with their deluded and awkward mentality to attack your person....

Bro. i don't need to argue with you by February or March 2023 after the election result is out you will know....coming here with your baseless arguments is a turn-off for me....it is obvious that you don't have logical substance upstairs to argue with me....except your bittered heart towards the entire Yoruba race .. Those who behind Tinubu in Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti are not Association of Islamic people they are a confederation of different religion in the Yoruba race...

Fayemi, Akeredolu, Makimde, , sanwoolu, are governors not from Muslim backgrounds yet they gave their weight behind Tinubu...

So think and think well

pls stop arguing with these Osu miscreants, what does Yoruba Christian or Yoruba Muslim means in Yorubaland? Time will tell!

Emmynator:
We are having a discussion and I am sharing my opinion.
Yes, I am a one Nigerianist.
On the very very slim chance that they leave the British contraption, lmao, I wonder what the ado is about, if it's success is dependent on a near impossible condition.

what are you even saying? What tribe are you from? Why are you so concerned about how a tribe wants to introduce their language in their curriculum?

If Lugard didn't come to this part of the world, my people won't be in thesame country with your people.

Emmynator:
Is language the major barrier to this or just the general education standard, equipments and all? If you teach in yoruba using the same facilities in place, the result will be the same.
Secondly, there's no adequate support for invention in Nigeria, you complain about brain drain, Nigerians are elsewhere all over the world making strides, the difference is facilities and resources not language.


Wait until a minority tribe in yoruba region replace "English" in your writings with "Yoruba" and it will be a no brainer
The truth remains that Nigeria is too diverse, you can't even achieve this state wide thoughtless of region wide or nation wide.



Lol, you are dumping a lot on the laps of language
I understand the need of heritage and all, but to blame Africa's lack of development on adoption of English language is laughable


At least, you end up admitting that it can't work Nationwide, for obvious reasons.

why are you so concerned if Yorubas want to adopt their own language into STEM? And are you a one Nigerianist? He clearly said it will work better when we leave this barbaric British contraption called Nigeria

Denoh68:
ROTTEN BRAIN YORUBA, TELL US WHO DEVELOPED LAGOS. IDIOT.

who developed Lagos?

DadaHammed:
I am Muslim Yoruba and I will vote Peter Obi because that is the right thing to do. I have a working brain.
I will deliver my polling unit in Omi adio to LP. Insha Allah!

lol you this clown, I hope you know claiming Yoruba on a faceless forum will not change the reality next year

GloriousGbola:
How is the Yoruba language developed from roman characters or Latin characters when we never met the Romans?

Or maybe Samuel ajayi crowther went back in time when he translated the Bible into Yoruba?

The roman empire collapsed, knowledge was lost and the world went into a dark age

So I have to wonder where your the English got their knowledge from roman texts etal comes from

This is more of same pseudo intellectual pan africanist story you were touting last week

Maybe next you will tell us isaac Newton, charles Babbage, Micheal farady and Co also cribbed ancient roman texts

what problem do you have with comprehension? There's nothing Pan-african about what he said, the British didn't have any writing system so your A-Z came from latin when the Romans colonized and civilized them, we use the latin characters, just like most people around the world do.

A001:
The highlighted is wrong. I wish one of your listeners knew that.

The Yoruba language, just like the English language and many other languages in Europe and around the world, uses the Roman alphabets (also Latin alphabets).

Here's a history of the Roman alphabets: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Latin-alphabet

The English alphabets were developed from Old Latin, the language of the Roman Empire that had colonized Britain in the past.

When the British were wise and strong enough to break free from the Roman colonial rule, they translated many of the scientific papers and concepts to English language.

You can't invent things using the current model (Western education) in Nigerian schools, where STEM is taught in English.

If the Yoruba region would develop in the future, Yorubas would still need to domesticate science and teach it in the mother tongue, just like many advanced countries of the world today had done in the past.

It's a no-brainer really.

It's because most are still enslaved that's why people would even contest these points. Most Yorubas see English as the primary language and Yoruba as secondary.

But a good son of the soil shouldn't rate a foreign language, no matter its level of acceptance and popularity, above his own language.

The English don't do it; the French don't do it; the Chinese don't do it; the Arabs don't do it; and many peoples in advanced societies don't downgrade their indigenous culture for a foreign one.

But it's always the Africans: They despise their roots and cultures and celebrate foreign ones.

Right now, the Christians and the Muslims are making a noise in the churches and the mosques celebrating the culture of Israelites and Arabs respectively, but demonize their own culture.

It's no wonder the continent contributes next to nothing in world's development.

The way forward to develop science in Yorubaland is to incorporate the teaching of STEM in Yoruba, along with teaching it in English (not only Yoruba).

What any reasonable Yoruba should be advocating is restructuring (regional government) or breakup to form Yoruba nation if restructuring isn't given a chance.

Anyone sincere person who knows the history of how Nigeria was set up by GB understands the fact that Nigeria can't work under the current faulty setup.

The various tribes, who don't love one another and have little in common, were forced together into an unholy union by the Britons.

Restructuring or Yorexit

When I see there are Yorubas like you that think like me, I feel hopeful about the future of Yoruba race, the only way is #Yorubaexit

ArcSEMPECJ:
Lols your insults are welcomed , I know Yoruba Muslims hate the truth so much ...

If Lagos State was founded in 1867, and created as a state in 1960 and made the capital of a whole Country for 32 years....why is it still so dilapidated and deserted ??

Do you know when Dubai was founded? Go and check your Google and know how TINUBU you support has swallowed all the monies in Lagos State....

Any day another party takes over from Lagos State, the truth will come out like a volcano ....lols

My State was created out of Enugu State in 1991 , check the difference and hide your face in shame....

Why are you not comparing Anambra State to Ekiti State, Ogun, Ondo, etc ?


For the insult.....you are Untrained , your parents must have passed through a lot having you as a child.....lols

I'm not a supporter of Tinubu but I must let you understand they are comparing Lagos to Anambra because Tinubu was the gov of Lagos, not because they can't compare other Yorubas states to Anambra. Ogun is far more developed than all your states, take that from someone that has been to all your states except Imo. Your islamophobia against Yoruba Muslims will never be overlooked, when the time comes we will remind you bigots.

BloomingDale:
The men participating in this foolishness are mostly the Igbo men. While they are busy procreating with South African big ass and giving birth to "beautiful" and dull children with big twerking asses, the Yoruba men are busy marrying their ladies and harvesting their women's brains making the Yoruba nation smarter and more intelligent

Igbo nation will be filled with "beautiful" and dull twerking big ass Southie children, while the Yoruba nation will be filled with smart, intelligent and "not so beautiful" children taking their nation to greater height.

wtf do you mean Yoruba men are marrying their ladies and harvesting their women's brains... Majority of yoruba men marry yoruba women, only few liberal christians in Lagos marry Ibos, and Yoruba women are the smartest and most successful black women. This is not the first time I'm seeing you make anti-yoruba comments on this forum.

tensazangetsu20:
I used to assume Nigeria was the worst country in the world till I joined an NGO a few years back and got the opportunity to travel across Africa and men these guys are doing way worst than us. My village in Abia is even more conducive to live in than a lot of these countries. Economic activity is zero, poverty is like 100 percent. You can smell and see poverty everywhere immediately you land. Me I dont rate any african country except south africa and I wont even migrate there sef.

Pls mention the poor countries you've been to.

Lionnation:
hope as a Yoruba man you said this when ipob was aggitating, if you didn't the thunder that will fire you is doing press up but if you said this then may God bless you

I love to meet people that think like me, I want the disintegration of this barbaric British contraption not fraudulent election that will change nothing.

Idiko1:
USSR had more than 1000 ethnic groups, yet it disintegrated into manageable nation states. The talk of 250 ethnic in Nigeria as a need to keep the shithole called Nigeria as configured is a regrettable idiocy.

they keep using that nonsense to blackmail us, we know how diverse Yugoslavia was and the country still broke up, the British contraption is a clash of civilizations, we Yorubas have nothing in common with fulanis, we must end this contraption before we can start talking of rebuilding Africa.

tctrills:
Anambra and Imo have bigger GDPs than any SW state outside Lagos.
Now, how am I a tribalist? This thread is about returning Peter Obi to Anambra state. You guys are extreme tribalist. You are angry that a non Yoruba aspires to be president.
What have we ever done to you. We are mostly peaceful and hardworking businessmen but tribalist like you are not comfortable with our presence.
The Igbo's have never offended the Yoruba so keep hating yourself.

again stop projecting your problems on me, when did I tell you I'm against Peter Obi?? What makes you think all Yorubas are in support of Tinubu or all Yorubas must be in support of your Obi? Why would you generalize a whole ethnic group because of some people that don't agree with you politically? Have you not been on Twitter to see how a lot of Yorubas are supporting Obi? "You are mostly peaceful and hardworking" and still you people have problems with your hosts all around the world.
The question should be directed to you, how am I a tribalist?

You claim that Anambra and imo that couldn't even have IGR up to Ondo has a bigger GDP than Ogun and I corrected you and asked for the proof but you keep saying the same nonsense and projecting your hate on me. I'm still waiting for the 2022 NBS stats on the GDP of each states.

shortgun:
Thank you for your post.
1. Most of you have been conditioned by this evil old men to think the way you do.
There's nothing wrong with the formation of Nigeria, the Federal system of Government that Nigeria adopted is equally practiced in many other countries.

2. Disintegration into ethnic groups will only tear the region apart with countless wars and conflicts. There are over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria....how many countries will you make out of that number?

3. I expected you to push for a regional system of Government.
Nigeria's best years was when it practiced a regional government.
The evil old men all benefited from regional government, they all know that going back to that system will fix most if not all of Nigeria's problem but they won't cos they are beneficiaries of the current state of the nation.

They will never let go until they are forced to.
I need men who are willing to demand for this change

pls it's very myopic to think there's nothing wrong with the formation of Nigeria, we have nothing in common, Nigeria is the typical example of Clash of Civilizations, we can't go back to regional system of gov because it will still end up breaking as some regions can't fund themselves, it's better we go our separate ways, Nigeria does not have 250 ethnic groups, that's just the usual propaganda promoted by One Nigerianists

I will die for Yoruba cause or to protect Yorubaland but I don't owe this British contraption anything. There's nothing like Nigerian nationalism, we are not thesame, the Yorubas that fought for Nigeria in the past paid for it heavily and nothing has changed. We must disintegrate the country and go our seperate ways.

tctrills:
Actually it does for 2022. The SW is clearly no where impressive. And no one who has traveled can have your ideas and tribalism.

you're the tribalistic biased person here, not impressive but still better than SE in all spheres of life, send me the GDP of each states, don't bother to send me anything that is not from NBS abuja.

pocohantas:
50 inch TVs, air conditioners and chesterfield sofas - the way they view them ehn! I know say Naija girls fit mumu for POP o, but their own is something else! If no be say I no wan cast the group, I for drop name, make all these Naija guys wey wan marry East African women go find wife for there.

I know some of them can be very rural and crude, especially those Kenyan, Ugandan, Tanzanian babes lol.. that's the reason why they like these dusty low budget 9ja boys. Abeg which state are you from.

tctrills:
You have shown your ignorance. You obviously have not traveled. The GDP of Anambra and Imo is bigger than any state in SW except for Lagos so what are you talking about.

you don't even know me and you keep projecting the 'you have not traveled'... The NBS has not done any stats on GDP of each states since 2017 but you must be very deluded to compare both states to Ogun. Ogun has more IGR than the whole of iboland.

tctrills:
I couldn't read all you wrote but let me react to the first 3 paragraphs I read.

You are the one who gives the impression that you are from an uncivilized place and you have never traveled.

If you have, you would know that Anambra and Imo have bigger GDPs than any SW state outside Lagos. Despite Oyo's greater population and the large numbers of multi national companies in Ogun, Anambra and Imo have superior economies. And this is despite lossing everything in a war. That's why I said you should travel.
You think everyone is backwards but when you travel, you would have a change of mind.

I have travel extensively and I can't boast of anywhere in Nigeria because I know the meaning of true development.
I have been to every major Yoruba town outside Lagos. And I can tell you that none of them is impressive in any way. If you have traveled, you would agree with me

that is it, I've been across the country and being to several sane countries to know that the country as a whole is poor and not developed, but this doesn't change the fact that some places/regions in the country are more better and saner than other regions. Only a biases low IQ degenerate will compare the SW to SE, the only state I've not been to is Imo, the SE still remains the poorest in the south, wdym by you have been to major Yoruba 'towns' and none is impressive? You better not tell me you're from states like Enugwu or Abia. SW has a larger IGR, GDP and HDI than your region even though you enjoy more FAAC per capita than them. You're not impressed but Ogun state literally har more IGR than the whole of SE. Your region is very small(almost the same landmass with Oyo) and still less urbanized than SW.... Your flagship state Anambra has the same IGR with Ondo but you are less impressed loool, your people are literally jumping on midnight buses to live in my region. Oyo is better than all your states in all spheres of life, Imo does not have anything even with all the 13% derivative the state is getting, what's in imo state except from hotels and restaurants? You must be a clown to compare anambla and imo to Ogun. Instead of being concerned about SW where your people flee to everyday, focus on your region, I don't understand the obsession you people have with Yorubas, you rarely see Omoluabis going to your region except from Corpers and some few illiterate tailors that goes there weekly.

pocohantas:
You know the problem with Nigerians is that we don’t travel and we don’t even bridge the ignorance by reading. Months back an acquaintance went on and on about this Rwanda hype and even after explaining to him and sending links to publications - he was still arguing!

A former colleague in tech migrated to Rwanda, he ran away in less than a year. Told us that Rwanda is a dead-zone with hungry citizens. They dare not complain or talk about their struggles as it would go against the government and can land someone in jail.

I happened upon a housing group for East Africans. There are a few Nigerians there and I tell you, the things we see as lower middle class, they see it as LUXURY!!! I say no wonder Naija men dey use them catch cruise, their eyes never open. A one eyed man is king in the land of the blind.

Lol why am I laughing so hard, pls explain your 2nd paragraph about east africans very well.

SugarGirl44:
Me to go ariara??
Olohun maje!!
Even the name stinks.
The owners of the place sef are trooping in to SW daily, I’ll be foolish to go there.

Amen o, may our true independence come quick.

trooping in to SW daily and turning our region to their shithole region, calling themselves developers while their region is barren... Our independence from this contraption will save the whole of Africa.

SugarGirl44:
See ehn, everybody would be a racist given the right circumstance.
People can’t work so hard and live decently in their country, then some anyhow people who have ruined their own country would just come from nowhere to ruin it.

Africans who can’t use their brain to obey simple instructions of not throwing trash from their cars!
How can anybody respect those people.

If you make your country great and habitable, and only travel to other countries for genuine reasons like vacation and expatriate jobs, nobody would treat you badly.

Have you entered naija markets?
The shop owners can’t even sweep the front of their shops!!!
They sell in the midst of filth, if those people travel freely and are not cautioned, they would take that filthiness to those countries.

So I can’t blame anybody being harsh to Africans, if you can’t stand their rules, simply go back to your country.

I agree with you, we have a lot to do in this part of the world... If you see how dirty iboland is, you'll weep, have you ever been to ariara market? Sharing the same country with those people is depressing, hopefully the British contraption will disintegrate so that Yorubas can be free to build a well functioning country.

SugarGirl44:
And so?
Doesn’t Africa insult itself every single second?
Respect is earned, not given.
Take a look at your continent and their leaders, even the led, do they command any respect?

Answer that question without sentiments pls.

Well it's very very true, the continent is a literal shith0le, the issue is his fanbase, those guys (MAGAts) are notoriously racist, their hatred for immigrants and black people makes it hard to support Trump.

SugarGirl44:
You sound so bitter and toxic, I’m sure you’re from the bitterleaf republic of the east, only you guys have so much bile in you.
And I’m certain you’re an obidiott too, you guys are just so easy to spot, angry children oshi.

How dare an urchin like you call Trump an illiterate?
Like...what did you smoke?

You just love to gag people once their view doesn’t align with yours but you want to enjoy the freedom to type your silly opinion.

trump insulted Africa, he's a white supremacist

broadman20:
If you carry IPOB matter for head like this,

What will the Yorubas do to Fulanis for all these killings and kidnapping in Yoruba land?

They don't even talk to them like the talk about IPOB matter wey dey very far from them.

No be COWARD be that?

there are more fulani foot soldiers kidnapping, raping and murdering your people in your landlocked region.
