Woke Soyinka started the deadliest cult "Aye fraternity" aka . But you wouldn't know what these organisations back then stood for; fighting for students' rights and justice

MinorityOpinion:
See ipob consoling themselves, trying to change the story "when Cult was full of intellectuals" Cult is Cult? I can bet you many individual in Cult now have higher IQ than Azikwe

I understand your stupidity and I strongly believe you're under 24 or so

Woke Soyinka started the deadliest cult "Aye fraternity" aka . But foetus like you wouldn't know what these organisations back then stood for; fighting for students' rights and justice

MinorityOpinion:
Very impressive, we need more igbos like Innoson who can see success in unity rather than hatred

And your many anti-Igbo threads here ain't viperous hate?
Fake identity man, minority opinion indeed
If you like assume an Igbo name, your pattern still betrays you

GMBuhari:
i seem to remember some people saying fg hates ibo business, and no matter how many times you try to convimce them, they never listen

small fracas, they started boycotting gtb

You've got a big problem
Isn't obvious to you that GTB is messed up?
A bank I tried withdrawing N7k sometime from the ATM, the money never came and after standing on queue complaining twice, I gave up cos I'm busy and my time was more precious. Till date, I've abandoned that account.
This is same with this current access; repeated issues on so why would one wanna bank with these horrible banks?

Noerection:
Majority of Ebhoes especially ipobeast miscreants want this Man jailed

Isn't he a criminal enough to be jailed?
You'll tomorrow taunt ABA and it's state but it's all cos when Ngige his counterpart was building roads he used Abia's monies for opulence
I even heard he was the one who said Lagos was no man's land.
And today the Igbos are saying he should be prosecuted but same you will say NO

Bad Belle people.

Okonjo, noting do you.

Your so called darling is why the claim by the Egyptian might work. What held him back from nominating this woman ahead of Mr. Agah until after several pressures?

JAMO84:
You are wasting your time explaining things to chronic wailers.

Why is it that supporters of every NGA administration are so daft?
BH guys, bandits, Herdsmen, kidnappers, criminals, etc are still having a field day with all these stuffs here
The Nigerien president without all those arms (just AK-47) took the war to BH that Shekau had to let out a baby cry
What are we not doing right?

Officialgarri:
Let me quickly mention that these equipments were bought solely by this administration.
We did not have any of these before 2015. Although the funds to purchase those ammunitions were allocated as at then, it was usually transferred to private accounts, squandered, and used to fund election campaigns and rigging.

Anyone who has been keen on the war against terrorism will not argue. Many of you will sit here on Nairaland as though this place has monopoly of news.
I have reliable links that share updates on the war with video updates and i bet no idiot will dare to say the war isn't progressing.
But trust news source, they'd pick only the ones that will interest useless wailers and share for you to consume because they know most of y'all never carry out fact findings.
How many times has your favorite Sahara reporters shown us victories from the NA? And you guys can't use your head that something is wrong.
WE MOVE
GOD BLESS THE NA

Facts and archives will.keep shaming most of you here. The news was on BBC
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-18300358
but most of you who propagated hate were so occupied with the figure there and hardly the substance

MetaPhysical:
Go and ask them now, abi Remilekun na Ibo name?

Una wan put Warri inside Biafra too?

Guy, what are you saying?
Their are assimilations across tribes
Itshekiri isn't Yoruba
What part of old Yoruba Kingdom doesn't the Itshekiri belong to?

MetaPhysical:
Remi is Ishekiri, a Yoruba.

Read and comprehend. This thread is not about non-Yoruba.

It is about Yorubawomen.

I beg when did Itshekiri turn Yoruba?

TripleOh7:
Your first paragraph is well taken.

You should it with the second paragraph which you and I know it's a blatant lie though.

Can you state facts here why it's a lie?
Since 1999, Igbos have not voted their own whom presented themselves.
I bet you Osibanjo has a high chance of winning a presidential election in the East than Okorocha though not against Obi.
You couldn't believe Hausas n Yorubas are aides in the SE without a news about it, how would you believe this?

KingAzubuike:
Arrested through finger print on fire extinguisher lol..

When naija upgrade to this kind level

My guy, na wetin.weak me for that rubbish ooooo
Fingerprint bawooo

Benevento:
Akeredolu should play safe.

despite Tinubu's open appointments in Lagos,what happened afterward?

I'm glad they've been relegated to Lagos gutters affair.

Please when did the Igbos join Lagos major matters?
Aside business and market politics, they're one of the most political unconcerned tribes in Nigeria; politics isn't even in their culture

TripleOh7:
Waiting for when the eastern governors will actually employ someone else outside their ethnic group to positions such as this.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2020/06/01/akeredolu-roasted-for-making-owerri-lady-an-sa/amp/

Also go and Google up Dr. Festus Adedayo, he was media SA to Chimaroke Nnamani Governor of Enugu state in 2013.

Bros, Igbos usually don't care about who is in power (they're apolitical beings) until you start showing aggression towards them.
If Buhari proves to be better today, Igbos won't blink an eye if he remains there for 30yrs

MetaPhysical:
You are narrow in your exchange with the focus of this thread. If your experience locks you in and the association of Yorubawoman as FirstLady in Yorubaland is too complex for you not to see it as anything but a condemnation of inter-tribal marriage, perharps you need to wait for a more fitting thread in which your stereotypes can find field for expression.

I already told you to wait for such thread.

Lol
If you claim non-Yoruba first ladies have failed does it mean "Remi" Tinubu & hubby failed Lagos?

Built2last:
Anytime I discuss with people and say that an Oduduwa Republic will have more advantages to succeed as an independent nation, they ask me for reasons. On my wall and inbox people asked me the same question when I made that post yesterday about Igbos being those who feel most confident of succeeding as an independent country.

Here are the advantages the Southwest has:

1. The Southwest has direct and wide access to the sea through Lagos, Ogun and Ondo.

2. Even though there are small non-Yoruba ethnic groups like Egun, Ilaje, etc in the Southwest, the Southwest is homogenous. Yoruba is the key ethnic group. Even the non-Yorubas speak it and use Yoruba names. So there will be less conflict on language.

3. The Southwest already has a functional seaport.

4. It already has a functional international airport.

5. The Southwest already has all the multinationals in Nigeria within its domain.

6. It already has all the embassies/high commissions within its domain.

7. It already has the biggest commercial city (Lagos).

8. The Southwest is not opposed to education, modernity, technology, etc. So it will have no problem joining the progressive world.

9. The Southwest is success-driven and competitive. So it will always find ways to make its land better.

10. The Southwest is very religious-tolerant. Even though Christianity and Islam are virtually of equal population among the people, the Southwest does not practise religious extremism.

11. The Southwest has wide, fertile land for agricultural production, industrial estates, game reserves, recreational parks, etc.

However, in all my discussions with friends from the Southwest, I have not seen any zeal from them on the issue of having an independent Southwest country. It is not seen as the focus of the Southwest.

What I have heard and seen as a dream in the Southwest is to have a kinsman from a political party endorsed by the Southwest political elite like the APC (like Osinbajo, Tinubu, Fashola, Fayemi, etc) as President of Nigeria as quickly as possible. Then there is a second group that wants restructuring of Nigeria as the solution.

Each ethnic group has what drives it at every point in time. The Igbos don't have some of the advantages the Southwest has. But the Igbos strongly believe that their lives will be better, safer and happier when they have their own independent country. The Igbos believe that given the way Nigeria has been going, staying in Nigeria will deny them the opportunities to reach the height they dream about. It is like what happens in companies. One employee will dream about becoming a director or CEO of the company, while another will dream of exiting to start his own company, believing that he will surpass his present company in due course. Whether it works out for each of them like that is another kettle of fish.

Then there is a second Igbo group that believes that Igbos' best interest lies in a restructured Nigeria.

Before independence, Igbos were the strongest apostles of the one-Nigeria mantra. No prominent Igbo person wanted a separate country outside Nigeria. Even Ojukwu was an unapologetic apostle of One Nigeria.

While the North and West were always talking about exiting Nigeria or adding clauses in support of exit, the East wanted a united Nigeria with no clauses. Why? The Igbos believed that with the exit of the British, the new nation would present opportunities for the survival of the fittest. They believed that in such a contest in the public service and commerce, they would excel. However, the ethnic-based massacres of 1966 and the silence or tacit support of the massacre by most Nigerians shocked the Igbos and made them want to get out of Nigeria, because they felt that it was obvious that they were not wanted in Nigeria anymore. They also no longer felt safe in Nigeria.

That attempt to leave Nigeria was resisted, leading to the ugly War. Having lost the War, the Igbos returned to Nigeria with the desire to help in building a new country. However, Nigeria has increasingly remained a land where things are not done on merit, a land of crushed dreams, a land that gladly destroys itself and its citizens, a land of ethnic pettiness and weird reasoning. It has been frustrating the Igbos, and they feel trapped in a hole where they cannot exercise their God-given talents in full. So, ruling Nigeria is not their ultimate dream, as it is obvious that it will not give them the expected opportunities for self-actualization.

It is like when an employee of a company has a burning idea and he is being enticed to stay on with higher salaries and positions. That idea will continue to burn in his mind until he goes out to bring that idea to fruition.

The Igbos don't want to fight a war. They believe that living together as citizens of Nigeria is creating perennial friction among the peoples, leading to deaths, backwardness, poverty, anger and quarrels. And that is not their idea of having a country.

Very funny
Go and run the statistics of Singapore 50yrs ago in comparison with that of Nigeria
As at now Nigeria has all resources available to it but where are we?
Not being proud but in Nigeria today the Igbos are less privileged but statistics has proven they're not the poorest. Check the indices and see what they're doing for themselves in a suppressed environs.

lightangel65i:
See its a man no so no one cares they think its a lie, not even considering the possibility its true. If it was a girl lie or not they would start calling all men rapists.

And they expect us to show sympathy for rape victims.
Well even if that rape and murder case happens to hundred girls i wont give a Bleep. If rape happens to women i wont care, most boys loose their virginity to older women at ages less than 17. That is rape by law cause age of consent is 18.
So Bleep all the ladies Bleep the useless uwas case i don't give a Bleep if all ladies are raped to death

So a girl was murdered n you say you don't care?
Guy, you're a cannibal
Truth is that the way each gender was wired, ladies face rape more

MinorityOpinion:
Make this one go sit down jare, why is everyone spreading hatred like this now

Hate for not supporting Oduduwa republic?
Hmmmmmm, like Kanu has followers now

One thing I know is that this man will unify this country if he is allowed free hand to lead.
Give him a Five-year opportunity void of election activities & he will deliver
He can even concentrate his ministers all from his village but let him just deliver
If Nigerians can give this guy a good chance
Yes, he has some flaws but he is not bad

jimyjames:
Those of you born in Lagos are not different from Yoruba's

Nwanne, amuru m n'ulo ogwu IYI-ENU, Ogidi, Anambra Steeti.
Nwanne a bu m nwa otu, her akwukwo n'otu
Nwanne, guys sukwara "phonetics" n'ogene
Nwanne m nwoke, I be pure breed Igbo however, we Igbos cannot claim saints and not know where we also erred
My father went to that war and gave me firsthand info.
Guy, even Ojukwu himself have never uttered a word against the starvation and support by the British cos before & in between the war the British wanted oil which he didn't grant them, Nzeogwu was against him, YES NZEOGWU STARTED CONTACTING FEDERAL FORCES (Nzeogwu was a good friend of OBJ & was in contact with him during the war, surprising OBJ was commanding the battalion that bombarded Onitsha?) TOGETHER WITH IFEAJUANA, BANJO & CO?
Ojukwu knew what we were all up against. Why don't we fight Zik as much as we paint Awo.
Where was Zik when all these fights started? Zik refused secession & insisted Igbos should not fight back not secede. He was busy advocating for one Nigeria while Balewa & same Awo wanted out.
My guy, if faced with same situation as Nigeria then I might have done same. Nigeria was already broke and needed peace & then oil.
How would they get it?
My dear, let's continue our fight for equity & justice and prolly leave this unified abode some day but leave Awo out of this
Daalu

jimyjames:
Still it doesn't change the fact that afonjas are our enemies .

Weeee you kip kwayet?
Is your head paining you abi na your brain?
Truly the OP has a point but I insist the social media banters should be curbed.
Personally, I have nothing against the Yorubas and even the shit some of my brother's say about Baba Awo suggesting starvation, I see nothing wrong with it as it was a war & Nigeria was also loosing heavily and needed a way to stop the war and used the closest resource to them; starvation; We all could have done same.
For me, I LOVE THE YORUBAS wellaaaaaaaaaaa
Was deeply in love with one but the papa no want Igbo shaaaaa, so I moved & the girl never married till date.

GoddessSheridan:
They have used Lagos-Ibadan media to wash your brain.

Go and check CIA.
They British made the real census during col. period

This isn't about the press
The Yoruba history is one I know too well
See, the Yoruba as a tribe is a huge conglomerate of different tribes that assimilated into one majorly due to security (constant wars back then).
The Yoruba as a tribe consists of the Aworis, Ijebus, Okuns, Egbas, eguns etc
They're done

I'm � Igbo but whoever wrote this is not high but mad
How can the Igbos be more populous than the Yorubas?
Is the writer aware that Yorubas are found in Benin Republic and some other countries?

MetaPhysical:
Yinmu!

Na me you dey threaten with digups. Let me catch your hotspot IP address, by design or by omission. Alakori!

Lol!
See you ooo! My IP?
Oya naaaa, make I feel your tools.
Hope you ain't showing G-boys bad ways?

Top1gun:
You n your father are bigger bigots.
Every Igbos should be slapped with razor sharp matchet for daring to tag any human being a bigot. Every1 know all of you are nurtured from the womb with irredeemable bigotry n chronic hate.

Lol
Do you think I'm here to run on the mud with you?
My father was a noble man who never lived in the North but speaks Hausa fluently, housing many of them in his house freely and even his company have side rents to the Hausa peasants free.
He learnt Hausa from them. He went to that war and told me first hand stories and explained why I had to love and never hate.
Anyway, you just gave the hate n bigotry you have within and here's my love

MetaPhysical:
I just posted a thread today appreciating Nigeria and our various unique ethnic groups. Go and read it, you will be proud of me.

Hope you know I know you here in a long time?
I'm not new here and I've interacted with you here severally
Can I dig you up here?
Dare me and I will on Saturday, busy with work

Brought Psquare to limelight my foot. That guy had no management skill. Apart from Psquare, who else did he bring to limelight? Cynthia Morgan was already known before she joined Jude. He couldn't manage his brothers not to talk of outsider.

Is there any serious artiste under his label presently, NO

Listen to CM, she had no issues with Jude but her own manager. The only complaint about Jude Cynthia had was Jude not listening to her feelings as a woman (she said this verbatim, such an entitlement) but behaving entirely as a business man
From recent happenings, Peter foul nyash dey open small small
Just a rumour on CM he's bad-mouthing his brothers already.
Did you say CM was blown before Joining Jude?
You're obviously a child and never born then

udeagbalaC:
any contract that says that you will have to first pay the money spent in your career then fast forward to that, you begin dividing the revenue on a 50 by 50 basis is a dictatorial contract and that is where everything got bad with Cynthia Morgan but everything is now in the past both Jude okoye and Cynthia Morgan should let bygone be bygone. Cynthia Morgan has to move again and begin giving us good music that is what is expected of her at this moment. the blame game should end we need Cynthia Morgan back.
ex-manager joy and Jude okoye should leave her alone as she is on the move to revive her career.

My guy, let's assume you got a loan from the bank to fund videos (including payments for location, video vixens, costumes, logistics, feeding), audios, promotions at local stations & international platforms, abroad flights, taxes, bribes (you know how it is to run business in Nigeria), etc. How much interest do you think will compound on this?
Guy, lots of young guys are asking for this opportunity as a platform to grow

femi4:
just shut it! You called a contract 50-50 yet you turn down gigs, you recovered all you put into the biz first even if it ll take you 4yrs before she can start earning

Guy what are you saying?
Do you know what marketing and sales are all about?
Bros, they were building CM as a brand that can even go as a designers.
N1M? I bet you tomorrow someone will prize her for N400k show.
Will even Naira Marley accept N1M for a show?
I feel Cynthia made a big mistake from what she said, "I was hungry and they were turning down gigs"
If you were hungry, tone down your lifestyle & take a non-interest loan from your record label and wait for this same guy who brought PSQUARE to limelight to assist you too
She was just an overzealous newbie
