Bruv what is unity begging? The Yorubas are good with or without the Presidency. You say the only thing SW can boast of is Lagos without understanding the seismic and ideological paradigm shift occuring under a new generation that will be transforming the whole region with results felt even in the most remote of villages in the next decade or two.

The likes of OBJ encouraged a mediocre patronage system to keep the people impoverished and docile so they can continue to lord it over the populace with cans of rice at election time. That has changed so much. The SW is now a melting pot of ideas, ambition and anything-is-possible optimism.

I won't lie. I am active in politics and hope to be in office in 2023. What I see moving around is that, whichever way things play out, the SW will be a pacesetting region in the next 20 years as the situational Mecca of innovation, opportunity and cutting-edge development. This is because the crudeness of the OBJ years have left and will never return.

As society becomes more about merit, then cream will rise to the top to produce societal models that rewards talent and ability contrasting with the "bigman and im pikin" model the likes of OBJ ruined Nigeria with.

lol...i feel u bro. Cos u are just like me..an idealist. But the reality is always different from fantasies.

It wasnt in obj era that this crude political compaign of sharing garri was taken..it wasnt a long time ago either. It was this year in osun.

U may not realise it but obj is nigeria's best president yet (minus yaradua). Nigeria gdp fell from $540billion in 2015 to $380billion this year. Many banks have gone under this year. Many ppl have lost their jobs in the past four yrs. We have not really made progress.

Nigeria's best progress yet was recorded in obj and yaradua era wen nigeria was 2nd fastest growing economy in the world. I voted buhari in 2015 so i am in the best position to say these things. Check my 2015 posts.

The progess made so far in lagos belongs to fashola and not to tinubu at all. And fashola is not the only gov of 2007 to 2015 set who performed. Names like sullivan chime, kwakwaso and akpabio ttansformed their states within same period.

I wish igbo and yoruba well. But for equity..igbo needs to produce the president in 2023. They have paid enough dues

Oshigun:
Look, Igbos are a great set of people in many aspects of life. Yet never politics because you people cannot get over the civil war loss and have a mentality of settling the score with others, mainly Yorubas you claim betrayed you, to the extent you can never be objective.

Are Igbos succesful? Of course. Yet why do you need to prove that to Yorubas and others daily if not because you still hanker for moral victory today over a war you lost many decades ago?


Obansanjo is a terrible Yoruba man and he was a disastrous President but would you lot actually thrive more under an Osinbajo rather than a Tambuwal?

You are so ideologically opposed to the Yorubas, because of indoctrination you gain from birth against us, you don't even see or notice what matters.

Which State is more supportive of Igbos and tolerant of everyone if not Lagos , under the Tinubu you hate so much, where you do so well and are even becoming more absorbed into local politics than anywhere else in Nigeria?

Continue supporting North because you hate Yorubas but the reality shows that everyone thrives under the egalitarian, peaceful, tolerant and progressive Yorubas.

I personally want the presidency to come to the SW because I feel Yorubas need to atone for how, out of so many capable hands, a misruler represented and damned us in the form of OBJ. I know if a proper Omoluabi like Osinbajo or Fashola is numero uno then Yorubas can pay their dues to Nigeria and set the right and balanced example for others to follow.

If we dont get that then I am still cool with the reality of living in the safest, most opportuned and most progressive region in Nigeria. There is nothing showcasing the best of Nigeria the SW and Yorubas dont lead at. We do not lag behind anyone and set the pace in many aspect of positive, daily Nigerian living. Yorubas won't lose out whichever way.

lol no unity begging bro...u guys made buhari's presidency ur own...u have now had ur chance 4 times to better nogeria. U have failed 4 times.
1st was from 1976-79 2nd was from 1993-94. 3rd was from 1999 to 2007 and 4th is now.

Now is the time to try igbos for the 1st time. Sw is one of the most insecure regions. The only region in the south that always record post election violence.

The only thing sw can boast of is lagos. That in itself is like the north boasting of abuja. It was only in 1990 that lagos stopped being ftc. The advantages it has today is ONLY becos it was ftc.

Building bridges is igbos greatest act. Its why they are able to live in almost all parts of the world. In fact a popular nigerian adage nw says that a country without an igbo man must be filled with cannibals.

In 2023 we will build bridges with the north. Even if it means fielding el rufai

nonsobaba:
Ekweremadu and Umahi will stand and watch PDP field another northerner in 2023? Papa chukwudi, frustration is now driving you senile.

didnt they standby and watch pdp produce atiku?

Besides they will rather be actual vps than failed presidential candidates

emmabest2000:
Charly man

u could learn a lot if u just take 3 mins out of ur life and read the interview

allanphash7:
Our southern neighbours will come for baba now

the type of agbero statements coming from ur leaders is disgraceful.

Have u ever heard political or traditional leaders of igbo or niger delta making toutish and divisive statements?

Oshigun:
And lessons will be learnt from that so a repeat is not seen in future. This is why the whole Nigeria considers the SW politically sophisticated. We learn from political mistakes and get better. We don't regress. If the current Osun Governor dulls then he should be replaced. It is all about progress for the people.

lol..all atiku needs from sw is 40% votes and we knw sw pdp can deliver it

Oshigun:
Ignoramus. You're too ignorant of SW political culture. What do you expect the PDP factuon of Odumakin to put out there if not what we read now? Note though that Odumakin is not even fit to lick Jagaban's shoes and is a wannabe who will forever remain a loser and failure because PDP is dead in the SW.

dead pdp almost won osun

Waiting for u to tell me dat it was a family affair...lol. u wont recorgnise the truth if it struck u on the face

dannybrasky:
Not on the Senate floor and not when budget presentation is on going sir/ma. All these men are elder states men! They don't need common sense to be told what,where,when and how the protest/booing should be done.

wat the hell are u talking about. If a president should receive cheers from his party members...then he should also receive boos from opposition.

Meanwhile boos has happened in ur 'saner climes'

Wetin em talk here way em nor fit talk for P.H. ? Na guerrillas dey live for P.H??

Stop complicating issue oga! He was basically explaining how things are done in saner climes! And not this our ogogoro drinking country.

booing a bad president is part of democracy. He would knw this if gej was president

deomelllo:
This is a teaching moment for Nigeria and Nigerians in general. We copied democracy from America, but we practice democracy upside down.


Republicans and Democrats in America don't tolerate such disrespect and assault on the presidency, especially @ Congress.

The lawmaker was made to apologize to the president and to the general public.


The NASS leadership should have forced the lawmakers involved to apologize to the president or they themselves apologize on behalf of their members and their own failure to control their own NASS.

the reason idiats like u still get mouth to dey support terrorist buhari is because of internet anonimity. Come talk wetin u just talk now for ph

lol...aboki are th3 biggest drug peddlers in nigeria not really igbos

Dpharisee:
APC is desperate to claim that Atiku is not popular in the North. The reality is that you can shout 'Sai Buhari' in a PDP rally and go scot free but if you dare shout 'Sai Atiku' at an APC rally, you will be lucky to escape with your life.
This shows you who amongst the 2 major parties candidates and supporters is more humane and civilized

buhari supporters are terrorists. I know because i used to be one

The girl in the video is cilicmarin. I can recorgnise her cone head anywhere

34webers:
I thought igbos own lagos
How comes the owners of lagos are not allowed to place pictures of their beloved party in the same lagos?

yoruba type of politics is the genesis of nigeria problem

DONADAMS:
religious bigot...is south Korea a Christian country? you're no different from boko haram..I'm very sure you'd do worse if given a gun

even tho most south koreans have no religion...the ones who do are majorly christians.

No i wont do worse than boko haram if i am given a gun. Even tho i am born catholic i no longer cares about religion. Its of little importance in today's tech world. Wat i will do if i was the leader of nigeria however is to make a law that govt should be ireligious and that govt officials should never been seen publicly identifying with a religion. Govt will stop sponsoring pilgrimages. Prayers will stop being held at govt events. Politicians will barred from campaigning in religious places and clerics will be barred from making any form of political statements.

Wat i care about really is for africa to start copying Europe verbatim. They have made it. Every country (including south africa) were they live is developed.

Why must we hold on to nonsenses? Why must Africa minor in the major and major in the minor

if u are not directly employed by this govt and yet u still support them ...u have classic bipolar

Godnifemi:
Den the pentecostal churches that swindle people, kill, do ritual and bury members in der compound or pulpit should be used as a yardstick for other pentecostal. And if your brother does something bad, then your family is bad shey?

penticostalism should be banned too. Only catholicism or anglicanism should be alowed in this country. Islam is retrogressive. Cele is dirty.
If africa wants to really develope...it should look more towards the west. Europe has shown us the way...why have we followed 10 diff ways except the actual way that leads to development. The most developed muslim country is UAE. Can uae compare to a christian country like south korea?

Africa should either gradually abandon religion or gradually convert to catholicism...that is the only way we will start real development

dauddy97:
I am actually dating a cele girl over a year now. I haven't found anything fetish from her. Beautiful, easy going and trust worthy. she nearly killed herself when I wanted to live her alone. Well, I believe nothing is wrong with this Cele girl I am dating. Funniest part is that, she agrees to convert to Muslim if she eventually get married to me.

cele and islam should be banned in nigeria

Afamed:
Shut up stop supporting impunity. Your Obi and PDP goofed by showing sympathy for the looters in a National Tv debate. Everyone is aware now that PDP is an avenue for looters

chai...even one like u couldnt get for this nonsense post

Vote buying scheme

401kk:
This is not true. 70 percent? Lol

lol...leave them na. Niger delta get labour quota for oil company o. The mumu for talk say na only niger delta and yoruba dey oil company.

If there are chest beaters in this country...they surely come from sw

allthingsgood:
Fact is igbo's consistently follow losers since return to democracy. And they are also d biggest cry babies. After supporting a loser, u will be d first to cry that the winner didn't give u juicy appointment. 2019 is just going to be a repetition of 2015. I don't hate Igbo's but d truth is Igbos will never smell asorock at this rate!

shame on apc. U guys took our politics to a dangerous path of bigotry.

So it was ok 4 u to support buhari but not ok for me to support atiku. So supporting atiku means hate?

Yoruba ppl will make their defeat in the hands of igbos to be much sweater. The hate we got from yoruba since 2014 will be repaid one day.

midolian:
This is why an Igbo presidency will only bury the country.

An average Igbo man sees governance as mere business. When he mounts the throne and sees the peculiarities of governance, he gets confused and starts to gamble

guy u keep burying urself with stupid comments. Close down this thread abeg....u just campaigned for obi without knowing

Afamed:
Confused iPod who can't understand simply sentence

lol...oduntayo the ceo is yoruba....wat makes u think the guy himself is igbo? Does yoruba ppl employ igbo? Since wen.

Plus i knw u are unhappy. Kpele

MufasaRebirth:
I’m happy the guy is Yoruba pls don’t ask me why

yorubas think only igbos support atiku...lol.

CilicMarin:
Buhari will be having Rally in Kano that same day...No time for Bullshit..

Vote your ipob party, while we vote APC..

lol...na all of us go suffer this nonsense las las...i live abroad and i know that u ngenukwenu never travel b4. If u travel...u will realise wat u and ur fellows are doing to nigeria

sureheaven:
I think pdp and ipobs can now see obi is a fool, his supporters should be ashamed of him.

He keeps ranting china china china, is the mumu man contesting the vice president of china.

A butterfly that thinks itself to be bird can never act like bird.
Osinbajo is never an equal of obi.

lol...obi was gov for 8 years and a billionaire all by himself...osinbajo was mere commissioner and nw vp by licking tinubu in places that Remi wont lick him

CilicMarin:
And Keyamo Reacts also..

from 1999 till date...bornu and lagos have been APC. Did it turn to china yet?

fk001:
Nigeria Unity is non negotiable, not anytime soon.


Your leaders had already sold your freedom to the North, and you as a common man cannot do anything about it.

words like these coming from a northerner will never be forgotten. One day u will push the south to lead the break up of this country from abuja.

If a southerner like me bcoms president...u know i would instigate violence codedly that would eventually divide the country.

We wont forget ur internet utterances and we would do something about it in due time
