Konmight:
Our stewpeed forefathers put us in this mess.

Instead of Awolowo and Azikwe to work together and formed a government, they blew the opportunity and gave power on a platter of gold to the North.

Azikwe made his own mistake....

1. He wanted to become Premier of Western Region by all means. That was where the whole problem started.

2. When he lost, he rushed to east to become Premier of Eastern Region instead of Ita Eyo.

3. He knew his Nephew Ifeajuna was planning coup yet he did not inform Balewa rather he stayed abroad for over six months under the guise of medical treatment.

Awolowo also made his own mistake...

1. He shouldn't have worked with Gowon no matter how good the offer was. He should have known that if North could do what they did to Igbos because they lost power, there's a tendency that they would do worse to Yorubas.

2. I wouldn't have have worked for Gowon, if I can't help my friend to fight his enemy then I should not work against him. If you can't help me, don't add to my problems. Awo took the offer before Igbos attacked Ore. Of course we did well to send the Igbos back. Yet my point is we should have protected our territory without with taking any side whatsoever. When the going was GOOD, they were Allies and made us Opposition(Enemy). So when the going became SOUR, we should have folded our arms, protect our territory and watch the season movie as the Igbos and Hausas killed themselves.

3. He should have allowed Akintola to continue ruling instead of causing confusion in West.


So, what has happened has happened no thanks to Stewpeed Azikwe who prefered to work with Hausas so he could influence them as he liked because Hausas are less educated AND Awolowo who was stewpeed enough to work for the Hausas against his fellow Southern Brothers.

Two of them sowed seed of discord between the Yorubas and Igbos and now it has become irreedemable.

There's no solution on sight now because there's lack of trust.

Igbos tell the hate story from generation to generation. Yorubas got to know how much Igbos hate them and have also developed hatredness for Igbos(I got to know how much Igbos hate Yorubas and vice versa when I joined nairaland). They call Yorubas various names while Yorubas also call them names.

Our common enemy, who killed our people at the slightest provocation in North, should have been Hausas BUT we hate ourselves more than the Hausas who caused the civil war(yeah, they did when they reneged on the Aburi Accord).

What is the solution?

I think the only solution for now is to stop calling ouserlves names, tolerate ourselves for now and endure till we go our separate ways. I'm one of people who believe The Forced Marriage Called Nigeria Shall Not Lasts Forever.

God Bless Us All.

Cheers.

Zionope: Ok let me tell u something Omisore said on channels TV, he said and I quote "Aregbesola has not complete any road project in Osun" "all the bags of rices in Osun today are from APC".

PaulJohn1: @ Bash92, you mean there is no difference between:


And

?

The later is the lie peddled by the PDP.
Bro, please don't let your passionate support for a candidate result to interpreting simple sentences wrongly. You're learned.

Neyoor: According to reports, Tolu Adeosun, a member of
All Progressives Congress (APC) in ward 9 Ilesa
East, Osun state, was yesterday shot death in
front of his house around Osun Ankanra. T
his happened as the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Sen. Iyiola
Omisore, moved his campaign train to Ilesa.
Residents say before his arrival, his gang of
miscreants, called “IBK Boys” were seen
brandishing cutlasses and shooting sporadically.
It was one of the bullets that allegedly hit
Adeosun in the abdomen leading him to bleed to
death.

Late Adeosun only held a naming ceremony for
his new born baby just just the day before his
untimely death.
Residents of Ilesa, the hometown of the
incumbent Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola,
say the miscreants have promised more violence
for the governor’s supporters.

danot1030: I assume u are suggesting that the violence at Ilesha is a response to the governors directives. If that's the case in my own opinion that makes him the peoples choice except the election is rigged by pdp.

danot1030: y are u burning? U are not even from Osun state neither are u at Ilesha .

ispeed: #‎OgbeniAregbesolaLeekansi‬ Campaign Train has visited many towns with no one deadHowever, Iyiola Omisore must be ready to kill thousands of Osun to actualize his ambition.

tayooluwole: This OP is completely crazy. Go and get a life. It was Omisore's breed miscreant that were shooting sporadicaly and indiscriminately. This led to the death of an innocent man standing in front of his house. We people in ilesa are not too bewildered, because we know omisore already as a murderer. Omisore is a stupid neausance questing for power at all cost. Omisore will fail in this coming election like mad

hooged: get a life dude , this news is outright wrong , I was in ilesha throughout yesterday

Mynd44: Get a better source

PaulJohn1: Any link to a reliable media outlet or better still video where Aregbe said this?! These fellas are just too confused to come up with a reasonable lie. Lying as if their audiences are basic school pupils.

@ topic. That's an unreasonable attempt from Aregbe's supporters if true. But Why Omisore sef no request for more guards from his pals at the ministry of defence and police in Abuja, going to Aregbe's main stronghold to campaign like you're in your hood is insane.

#Team ona baba ona anyway..

padeolu: The story is true, Fayose actually said that. Prolly he only came on to debunk it inorder to ease the tension that statement caused within S/W PDP (especially in Osun State). Fayose and Omisore aint best of friends.

.
From a reliable source

smartz53: . When I no be Bastard. That's me sha. I no fit talk abt other people sha.

smartz53: . My Brother the 10km for all Local government ain't true cos the road for Obokum Local government is not constructed yet. So why can u say all Local Governments in Osun.

benzion72: So for 8 years Oyin could not get the stadium project commenced and completed. I don't leave in Osogbo but the other day I missed my road because I was expecting all untarred and unpassable road. There is road from capital hotel to housing almost all road inside dada estate is tarred with drainage. I was in Ipetu another LGA there is a road that pass in front of Govt girls college. The other time there was hold up at ikire more 3 access road that was well tarred with drainage . In Gbogan there road that started from Oke church to my aunty farm to Igbo Ijebu.

You did not fault is murder suspicion nether is sponsoring of genocide against Modakeke

benabbey: They awarded six stadium contract which were never commenced and all the money for mobilization and completion have being paid and shared.
In four year Aregbesola have employed and trained more than 100,000 youths in community service, he constructed 10 kilometer road in all the 30 local governments, also another 3 kilometer road in all the local governments. He has expanded all major roads in our town. He constructed 100s of ultra modern, well equipped primary and secondary schools. He give one meal per day with one egg in all our primary school thereby increasing the production consumption of children and indirectly engaging poultry farmers. All his road are with concrete drainage

dguyindcorner: You did a very good job for your masters.
Did they mention the fact that your candidate was an ex convict and a criminal?

fijiano202: i thought debates was always between governorship aspirant not their handbags

Bash92: For forty minutes this morning, Osun State
governorship Election took the front burner on
Channels' Television Sunrise Programme. It was a
debate between the PDP and the APC. The PDP was
represented by Chief Lere Oyewunmi (DG Omisore
Campaign) and Mr. Diran Odeyemi (Director Media &
Strategy) whilst the APC was represented by Mr.
Ajibola Bashiru ( Osun State Commisioner for Special
Duties) and Mr. Bola Ilori ( Special Adviser on
Environment)
It was all fire works. Each side tried to break the
backbone of the other. The APC folks appeared to be
more under pressure as its representatives, especially
Bola Ilori, fidgeted and I nterjected the PDP
representatives, almost to the point of disrupting the
Programme. The APC representatives could not define
who the 'State Boys' were and their roles in the polity.
Instead, they posited that the PDP had the control of
the DSS, Police and Army. The question is: Are
the'State Boys' the alternative to these government
security Agencies?
The moderators wanted to know what the Agenda of
Omisore was. And, Chief Lere Oyewunmi did justice to
it. He enumerated five programmes in the areas of
education, healthcare, employment, agriculture and
infrastructure. The same question was not put to the
APC.
To a large extent, the PDP was able to puncture the
educational reforms of the Aregbesola's administration;
from the school feeding system ( which they proved
started from the PDP era), to the merger of schools and
same school uniform policy. They added a clincher
promising that all schools merged will be de-merged
and returned to their former names with their old
school uniforms and beliefs.
The APC wanted to put Diran Odeyemi on the spot by
saying roads in almost every locality and LG area have
been touched. Mr. Odeyemi said this was not correct
even though there are some on going road projects
here and there. Unfortunately, the Commissioner could
not name a single road that has been tarred in Obokun
Local Government where Odeyemi comes from when
asked to do so. Mr. Odeyemi added that no
replacement has also been built for the Schools
demolished in his Local Government.
He was put to test further on his knowledge of his LG.
Bola Ilori asked him to name the Schools in his Local
Governement that were affected. Mr. Odeyemi named
three and said not a single block has been laid for their
replacement yet and that the students are cramped in
classes like sardines.
Irked by the effrontery of Bola Ilori to ask him which
Local Government he came from, Diran Odeyemi
reminded him that he was a Prince in Ibokun and asked
Ilori: Where are you from in Osun State. Ilori paused for
a while, obviously dazed, and then muttered I am from
Ondo. What an audacity? How politically expedient is it
for Aregbesola to send a non Osun indigene to such a
debate? What happens to all the Osun indigenes in his
cabinet?
On the issue of violence, Mr. Odeyemi said the Osun
State Governor has a record and pedigree in election
violence. He reminded the APC representatives about
the 183 "thugs" that the Governor sent to Anambra for
their governorship election but were arrested before
they could wreak havoc and are facing charges in
Court. He also recalled that the Governor recently
asked his members to go to the polling stations with
matchets and juju. Bola Ilori refuted this and said the
governor asked his supporters to go with "whatever
they believed in, including Quoran, Bible and
traditional implements to the polling stations".
An attempt to pose a stage-managed question from
Twitter on agriculture suggesting that over four
thousand farmers were benefitting from the school
feeding Programme of the APC back-fired big time. It
met its Waterloo in the response from Lere Oyewunmi
who reeled out his cognate experience and pedigree in
the field of agriculture and submitted that it was sheer
Aregbesola's propaganda on the newspapers and social
media networks that farmers were benefitting and
affirmed further that in his Irewole LG, he was bold to
say not a single farmer has benefitted from any such
agricultural scheme.
It was an interesting debate though a bit rowdy. It
could have been more interesting and informative if
the representatives of the APC have been as cool and
relaxed like the PDP counterparts who were definitely
more relaxed and composed often smiling and
marshaling their points much better than the APC
guys.
The APC's objective was to paint a picture that the
election was going to be rigged. Their representatives
mentioned some nebulous groups like Omo Ilu
Organisation going round in search of voters card. This
appeared a wild goose chase and extraneous to the
question of the achievements of Aregbesola and what
the people would benefit from his reelection. The APC
representatives appeared confused and poorly
coordinated to give a killer-punch or a juggernaut to
the PDP's face in this debate.

Donetyno: hope our presido gets to read dis....
