You don't understand anything in Yoruba world seriously. These people are not united by Language but by History. Egba people don't speak mainstream Yoruba does that mean they are not Yoruba? Their Language is hard to understand because it has just little similarity to mainstream Yoruba. But they can speak Yoruba easily. Look I don't want to argue with you about a people I know first hand and have as members of my family with you. You don't sound like someone that do biz on West African coast. You are too busy with NL to be that!! there are people of common historical origin and creationist myth with your mainstream Yoruba people. Yoruba is mainstream. If you want to know the people, search by sub-tribe and try to know someone from each sub tribe. Yoruba is just a simple collective name.


Your analogy for the first quote is wrong. Oyo ruled many other parts of Yoruba land that broke away. Does that mean they are not in Yoruba land? It goes both ways and if it can go both ways, then it's false!!! So you analogy makes your argument false!!!

Badagry was part of Yoruba Egbado region administered by the old Oyo kingdom.

Pick up your history and geography book and read.

9jaganja:
Egun people I know in Badagary speak a Language anyone who understand Yoruba can understand. Even when they converse amongst themselves, I can understand it a little and be able to pick the main points. I'm sure if I understand core Yoruba I will understand it. My uncle's Wife is from Badagry and when she speaks her Language I can pick a little from it. And she speaks real Yoruba that I understand too. That is from a primary source Beaf. I won't take your wiki pastes!!

9jaganja:
He didn't he has just one part of the post which was where he said Egun people are not Yoruba. The other parts are for know all and the pro divide Lagos folks.

9jaganja:
Beaf said Egun people are not Yoruba. How did you arrive at that? I can totally understand their Language even though I speak and understand just little Yoruba which I can communicate with. I don't speak Egun but I understand their dialect because I understand little Yoruba. I don't speak Ekiti or Ijebu dialects but I understand these dialects because I understand little Yoruba. You are totally wrong on that notion. Yoruba people are diverse even in dialect. I think you said that because you want to prove a point on why Lagos should be divided (what a retarded notion by the way). Lagos was meant for 1million people and 6mil at most. But mass migration to Lagos wasn't expected. How about dividing your compound?

Where did beaf say he wanted lagos to divide

State creation has not solved any problems in Nigeria - it has simply enriched a few while the so called 'development' is still far away from the grass roots.

There is absolutely no need for creation of a new state, the current administrative structure of the state can meet the developmental needs of the state.

Besides, the creation of another state will do nothing to stem the loss of green space.

With regards to Beaf's statement about merging, this will not do any good. The other states around Lagos are not financially viable either (except maybe Ondo) so merging will simply compound the problem, not improve it.

It is unrealistic to expect states to stop collecting resources from the center - the aspiration is to reduce this dependence to a minimum.

desgiezd:
Thank you. If this sort of treatment has been meted out to any of the states Beaf is advocating that Lagos should merge with, that state would have become bankrupt.

desgiezd:
Obviously, you are not familiar with issues concerning Lagos. Though Lagos collects money from the centre, it does not completely rely on the centre to survive. Secondly, what state would you rather Lagos merge with? Lagos generates more money than all the states surrounding it and that makes that suggestion of yours untenable.

The organiser of the World’s largest cake project, Victor Oluwafemi, says he has tagged the project, ‘one meal one nation’, in line with the philosophy behind the project.

“The project is a [size=14pt]private endeavour[/size] which myself and my team thought of. We wanted to do something significant for the 50th anniversary project. We wanted something that would give every Nigerian an opportunity to partake in the celebrations. We knew that the average Nigerian would not have the opportunity to eat the cake that will be presented in the villa,” Mr. Oluwafemi said to NEXT in Abuja.

oyb: johnathan 'marie antoinete ' goodluck - " the poor are hungry and there are no jobs - no problem  - let them eat cake "

oyb: shey our govt no go bothch this attempt at wasting money the same way they have botched everything else?

see as we are dragging with sin city


get your share of the national cake!!1

apparently the cake is going to be distributed to every state

tpiah:
why wont lagos be underfunded and overcrowded when the whole of nigeria lives there?

let other states develop their areas more instead of making lagos the lone star state.

Mr Yerima, according to NAPTIP, was fully aware that the Egyptian law prevents union with minors as well as marriage between persons with more than 25 years age difference . Hence, he moved the venue of the marriage ceremony to Nigeria, where the enforcement of child rights regulation is seemingly lax. The father of the minor, Saleh Mohammed Eladly, who was paid a $100,000 dowry given to him by the Nigerian senator, was also accused of disguising his status to procure a visa into Nigeria for the marriage. “The senator not only held our law with disdain, but encouraged foreigners to break same,” the NAPTIP report says.

Bodiesel:
This thread has been very interesting for active participants and silent observers (as myself) alike. However it has served its purpose and deserves to be laid to rest. It would be better to continue discussions about our sovereignty and differences as a nation in some other thread(s) dedicated to that purpose. Could the op and all those who 'fought' a good fight for what they believe(d) take a bow and a moderator (aisha2?) kindly close the curtain on this? Long live FRN.

tpiah:

tpiah:

0hsisi:

udezue:
ROFLMAO!!!! Beaf u go wound Tilapia oooo. I've seen Ogbete main market women argue their points better than that character. She is only attacking Ileke-idi coz she sees that though Ileke might disagree with us she is still intelligent enought to reason and listen to the other side. Its called dialogue. Something Nigerians like her are not familiar with. I pity her too.
