Jazzlite:
Nonsense thread.

sowore is showing us that he's ready to serve the country with humility. Our politicians are just funny.

CSTR1003:
When you start producing Your Own weapons and stop asking for aids, then we can talk.

BTW, you said Syria abi? They did not commit the so -called crimes on their own citizens like Nigeria does.

US is not clean, it interferes in the affairs of countries just to cover the crimes it is commiting behind the scenes.
US is also responsible for the war in syria that has resulted in the death of thousands of syrians.

Stupid US has no moral ground to talk about human rights when it is commiting the biggest crime in the world today.
No evil is greater than destablising a sovereign country by trying to impeach an elected president and sponsoring different terror groups.
No evil is greater than attacking the army of a country who are trying to flush out sponsored terrorists from their country.
These are deeds of US in syria and other middle east countries today.
The evil being commited in Nigeria today is nothing when compared to the ones satanic US and its evil allies are commiting all over the world.
US doesn't really care about you, all she is after is her interests.

Tohzara:
Stop speaking the truth, lest you invite the wrath of the most marginalized tribe in Nigeria.

no mind dem jare.

Cooly100:
Lying legend, Yorubas are most favoured in OBJ government...The few Igbos there became well known because they did well...eg Soludo, Iweala and Akuinyili...

See OBJ top appointments:


"....Funsho Kupolokun was the Group Managing Director of NNPC; Rasheed Gbadamasi was the chairman of Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency(PPPRA);Dr. Oluwole Oluleye was the secretary of PPPRA: Adebayo Sarumi was the Managing Director of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA);Joseph Sanusi was the Governor of the Central Bank (CBN),where the proceeds of crude and petroleum products were been lodged; Kayode Naiyelu was the Accountant General of the Federation; Joseph Ajiboye was the Auditor General of the Federation. For those who may want raise eyebrows over this monopolization of the Nigerian economy by the Yoruba, Tafa Balogun was the Inspector General of Police. He would ensure that the people were rounded up and slammed into jail, while Bayo Ojo as the Minister of Justice..." Umar Farouk

only God can forgive you people with the way you reason sometimes. If you really believe that OBJ didn't favour SE then Perhaps you are naturally greedy as some people are saying today.
Some of the posts OBJ gave ibos are: MINISTER OF FINANCE= Ngozi.
CBN gov= charles soludo.
The above means OBJ made you the head of his economic team.
Other posts are EDUCATION, NAFDAC HEAD, INFORMATION, DEP INSP. GENERAL OF POLICE etc. These posts were held by Ezekwesili, Dora, Frank Nweke, Mike Okiro respectively.
He also appointed Paul Dike as the chief of air staff.
Don't forget that SE also held the post of senate president throughout his regime.
How dare you now talking about marginalization? What post have you not held before? If anyone should be talking about marginalization, it shouldn't be you igbos but the minority ethnic tribes like ijaws, edos, itshekiris, urhobos etc.

DonVikings:
Dont mind them. Check this thread and you would almost vomit at their hypocrisy. https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan

I can NEVER feel sorry for them.

their hatred towards us in that thread is just too much.

Igbos that dominated every sector and called the shots in jonathan's presidency are talking about marginalization.
Even obj favoured ibo than other tribes in his regime.

imhotep:
Meanwhile in Ajah, Lagos

cc lzaa onyeoga

this is expected in lagos as the state is sorounded by water.
Ariara market's case is completely different. Go put your house in order and stop making meaningless comparisons.

Throwback:
I can never forget the Ogbete market story that revealed it was more of Igbete than Ogbete.


I believe there was some news recently that the market has now been resurfaced.

they only did something about the shit market after media revealed its poor condition to the world.
What is vexing me is that they like taking glory for every development in other regions but can't replicate same in their region.

They also have ogbete market in their region,Enugu.
The only market in the world you'll see shit in front of shops/ stalls.
Dirtiness is just natural to them.
People dirtier than pigs but like calling Nigeria shithole.
Without Nigeria, only God knows the kind of backward and dirty lifestyle OSU people would be living.

Even without stats, everyone knows that SW/ yorubaland is the most peaceful region in Nigeria.
Before you disagree with this stat, ask yourself which region is the most industrialised in Nigeria?
Which region also has the highest number of nonindigenes? the answer that will come to your mind will surely be SW.
We all know that security is one of the criteria that enhance industrialisation and population growth.
SE that has the least percentage of nonindegenes and where people are running away from everyday can never be the most peaceful.
This is why the stat that shows SE as the most peaceful is fake.

Uyiii:
so this phrase is true, that a particular tribe are known to be ass lickers and slaves to the Fulanis.
I've always doubted and been against the ideology not until I saw this photo.

To the pioneers of this very phrase, I'm deeply sorry for being indecisive with your assertions, I promise it'll never repeat itself again.

yorubas are trained to greet elders with respect, while some people are trained to wake their parents and elders of their tribe with sliding kick.
Abimbola act shows she's a real Omoluabi and not ajeokutamamomi.

prolog2:
Lagos is not and has never been a part of yorubaland.
Lagos is Edo territory.

says nonindegene.

You are fond of calling it no man's or Edo land, but we keep calling its shots everyday.
The law we passed recently is that without having a credit pass in yoruba language, you can't gain admision into any tertiary institution in lagos.
If you like go get credit pass in Edo, igbo, french, Hausa, English or other languages.
Without the yoruba language, no admission for you in any lagos state controlled tertiary institution.

What proof or message do you need again that lagos is odua land.
You laying claim to it, aren't you people even ashamed that you have nothing on ground to support your claim as per the owner of lagos? What we keep seeing everyday is yorubanisation and not Edo..sation of lagos.

nextstep:
I'm proud of Lagos but this tribalism/regionalism must stop. Nigerians have made Lagos what it is. Is Lagos only collecting IGR from Yoruba people? Or tax? How many billions of money (cowries, gold, pounds, and now Naira) from Nigerians all over has poured into Lagos? It's a former capital city, a financial, manufacturing, and entertainment hub - and has only become so due to the efforts of all Nigerians. Federal revenue mostly from Palm and Crude oil (obtained elsewhere) has helped it grow.

As for indigine: do we discount all the Benin people and their descendants who've lived and settled Lagos since 1400s? Are they too not indigene? In it's past life as part of Benin Empire (late 1400s till 1861), it benefitted from the largess of that Empire. Its first Oba - Captain Ashipa (some also say his son Ado) in the Benin Empire - to whom all Obas of Lagos trace their lineage, was given Lagos to govern. How does the Oba of Benin give somebody Lagos if Lagos is not part of his Empire?

So please, although Lagos is located in South West Nigeria, it is a serious discredit to call it Yoruba Land: it's a uniquely multi-cultural place with a complex history where many Nigerians can be said to be indigenes. This is not Ife or Oyo - undisputedly Yoruba cities, but a once forlorn beach that has seen waves of immigration and control over the millennia: settled in part by Aworis* - and to a lesser extent Ekiti - (running from war in the Yoruba hinterlands), and settled in parts by the Edos (empire expansion/trade). More recently (over two centuries) it has seen Portuguese, British, Brazilian, Igbo settlers.

In conclusion, I submit for consideration:
1. its two names: Eko (Edo language) and Lagos (Portuguese language) are decidedly not of Yoruba origin (does it even have an originally Yoruba name?)
2. its Obas owe allegiance ultimately to Benin (and not to Oyo, nor to Ife)
3. it has never been part of the Oyo empire, unlike the rest of Yorubaland.


* Authoritative sources (e.g. the current Oba of Lagos) have stated that the Awori people, though found in Ile-Ife, are actually Binis who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom to Ife.

lies all over your post.

As a yoruba man, i've never debated the ownership of lagos with you nonindegenes before because i know there is nothing that can stop lagos from being yoruba land.
Aworis, ijebus and eguns are aborigines of lagos, and these three are yoruba subgroups.
Edos or whatever you call yourselves have no inheritance in lagos as you are not among the three aborigines of lagos.
And concerning the statement you are crediting to OBA Akiolu, He never said lagos belongs to Benin, useless and coveteous people who are jealous of yoruba sucess in lagos did.
The monarch had debunked the statement many times, he granted an interview around december last year and told journalists that I NEVER SAID LAGOS DOES NOT BELONG TO YORUBA. Meaning he believes that lagos is yoruba land.
friend, no sane yoruba would like to enter into a debate with you concerning lagos ownership cos we know the land is our heritage.
Lagos is yoruba land and yoruba land is lagos.


LAGOS IS ANCESTRAL LAND OF EGUNS, IJEBUS AND AWORIS.
these three groups are yorubas.

Foolish kid freeze can't manage domestic affairs, but likes soiling the names of pastors who are managing mega churches according to divine mandate.
The anointing of all pastors you've ever insulted will keep punishing you untill you perish or encounter christ.
Oloriburuku that called bishop oyedepo bald head, it shall never be well with you and everything about you.

Itesiwaju ile yoruba lojewalogun.

See development in yoruba land.

Yoruba land is the fastest

developing and the most peaceful in Nigeria and Africa.


this is the lord's doing, it's

pleasant in our eyes.


All nonindegenes living and working in lagos should rejoice with the yorubas if you want these kinds of developments in your region.

abokibuhari:
That cant control more than a state in his region??

Obanikoro go soon collect Lagos state from him

National leader means he's influential all over the country. Obanikoro is now APC member..

abokibuhari:
Where is the Tinubu today ??

He's a bloody common national leader

of a rulling party.

abokibuhari:
What is this HISTORY (TINUBU) saying ??

Tinubu is more relevant today than all igbo politicians.

natedat:
osinbajo is involve in 419. osinbajo is yahoo yahoo

osinbajo is a great man with a lot of achievements.

BankeSmalls:
Osinbanjo, Leah Sheribu was supposed to attend church with her parents today?

Osinbajo didn't kidnap the girls.

It wouldl be appropriate for you

to direct the question to the
security agents.

Let's just hope this is not another mistake from Fg.


I don't want to read tommorow


that Bokoharam killed a number

of people on these roads.


Boko haram is still capable of attacking any position in Borno.

pedrilo:
he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day

you don't run away from every fight my brother.
Especially the fight you know you have the chance of winning.

resurgentxtian4:
First of all, I thank you for being civil with your reply. But on the substance of your message, I beg to differ. The Muslims in Nigeria keep pushing Christians to the wall and their ambition for Nigeria is so blatant. I am a Yoruba boy so you can’t accuse me of hate or intolerance. We can all see what is happening in this country and some of us want better for our families. If Britain is chasing Nigerians away, is Canada or American also doing the same? Each country reserves the right to set an immigration policy which speaks to the peculiar societal needs of that nation. Some of us are not just ready to stake our future on a baseless loyalty to a nation that keeping failing at every turn. We would take our chances outside where the retrogresssive forces of Islam won’t mow us down. The rest of you can keep groping in the dark in Nigeria.

if your house is on fire, would you run away or find any means to put off the fire? Don't mind answering me because i already know the answer due to your posts.
you'll surely run away and expect your neighbour s to do the job for you. And if no one is willing to help you'll surely allow the fire to burn everything to ashes.
People like you concede to defeat without fighting,

You mean we should run away from our ancestral land and never return...
you've surely forgoten the yoruba adage that says ILE LABO ISINMI OKO.
There is no place like home and this country is our home.

The other day someone advised young Nigerians to stop going to UK universities because the govt of UK no longer give job to Nigeria students after graduation. They'ld rather employ uneducated or less qualified europeans instead of learned Nigerians.
Are you now telling us to keep running to a place we are not needed/ respected? If all syrians had fled because of ISIS, the terror group would have destroyed their country completely, but because they took their stand, help came.
PUTIN, iran, and china are HELPING THEM because they didn't do what you are advising us to do.
They didn't abandon their country even when ISIS was controlling 80% of syria territory, with determination, the syrian govt has reclaimed most of its teritory from the terror group and now at the verge of defeating ISIS completely.
What we can learn from them is that nobody will fight your battle for you. And you cannot win any battle by running away.
NB: my post does not mean i believe anyone is trying to islamize this country. The islamisation agenda is nothing but a conspiracy theory the politicians are using to deceive people like the OP.

To hell with iweala's presidency!


If you were born in this country and you are calling it zoo, that means your father, mother, uncle and other family members are Animals.

GMbuharii:
lolss...aalozie called you aturu gambia lolsss...what is the meaning of aturu gambia?

Adefemiaderoju1:
Don't mind them jare they are the one come to SW turned into armed robbers, kidnappers, etc shithole people.

They are the ones commiting crimes in our region.

Bloody OSU animals.

Adefemiaderoju1:
Don't mind them jare they are the one come to SW turned into armed robbers, kidnappers, etc shithole people.

you can say this again.


They are the ones commiting crimes in our region.

Bloody OSU animals.

stanluiz:
SE is known for commerce,industrialization,education hardwork, entrepreneur and business. Everybody is busy that is why there is least crime rate.

But SW is known for ritual,skull mining ,agbero, lazy and jobless youths shouting owoda at every bus stop looking for who to harass and explore.

SW is most dangerous and unsafe region after in the south deal with it this pained afonja Muslim.

then why is it difficult for you to



live and work in your region if it's


truely paradise on earth?

I guess you are afraid of your


peaceful brothers at home.

People who can invade any church

and kill worshipers.
Peaceful people who don't mind killing themselves in the house of God.

Me no want that kind of peace abeg.


I like the kind of peace the yorubas are enjoying in their region.

AAlozie:
Bia aturu gambia, don't allow me let the rain of insults fall on u this sunday
