You are a liar, a big one for that matter .

Easterners like Okpara and co i posted his video above came into the picture when westerners were resisting the creation of the Midwest..

If you are sure of yourself, bring evidence and names of Yorubas that pushed for the creation of Midwest..



Yoruba man pushed for the creation of midwest ?

lol

.

Stop the lies..
Awolowo kicked against it.
Samuel Ladoke Akintola also opposed the creation of Midwest region, even went to court and later supported it for obvious reason, he didn’t have options left again because forces were against him, and and also to cripple Awo’s political ambition when they started having issues..


In the late 1950s and early 1960s, minority ethnic groups in the Benin and Delta areas demanded a separate region from the Western Region, which was dominated politically by the Yoruba majority. Akintola as Premier of the Western Region (1960–1962) opposed the proposed region which would later become the Mid-West Region, officially created in 1963.

WHY AKINTOLA OPPOSED IT
➡️The Western Region would lose significant land and population.
➡️The Midwest area contained important resources and revenue sources.
➡️A smaller Western Region could become destabilised, weakened politically and in national influence.
➡️He also reportedly saw it as an attempt by his political rival, Obafemi Awolowo, to weaken the Western Region's territorial integrity and power base.

The Western Regional Government (under Akintola’s leadership at the time) questioned the legality of the federal action — particularly whether the federal parliament had the constitutional power to organise the referendum that would carve out the new region.
The case went up to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which was Nigeria’s highest court of appeal before 1963. The court ruled that the Federal Government acted within its constitutional powers. That cleared the way for the 1963 referendum, after which the Mid-West Region was officially created.

HIS LATER SUPPORT

Interestingly, following his split with Awolowo, Akintola aligned with the Northern People's Congress (NPC) and Tafawa Balewa who had a vested interest in weakening the opposition-led Western Region by supporting the creation of the new region.
Ultimately, despite local opposition, the Mid-Western Region was created through a referendum in 1963.

Chief Akintola first became Premier of the Western Region of Nigeria in 1959. He took over the position following the transition of Chief Obafemi Awolowo to the federal parliament. Akíntọ́lá held this office during the First Republic, with his tenure lasting from 1959 to 1962, and again from 1963 until he was k!llēd in January 1966.



Don’t forget to provide your evidence , don’t bore me with jargons..

.
As I saw this post on fp, I came to troll this same fsboperator character for lying that Yoruba championed the independence of the Midwest. We'd had this argument before, you see, only for me to get here and see he's up to his old lies again. Even being FTC.

SMH.

.
Dear zoghys, don't see this and look away.

Condemn this, and call your amazingly good Muslims to condemn this too. And if this blows up to become a sensational 50 Muslim SANs issue, don't just look and go.

Peace.

Its not hard at all.....you and ur people can just vex and refuse to use the bridge, u can just swim across the river anytime you need to cross.

.
That bridge was built when Tinubu was a nobody in iragbiji. Long before he was adopted by the crime family. It's not hiss property.

That's if he truly is even from iragbiji

StonedLex:
I thought people said this type of act is only peculiar to Nigerians. 😂😂

Not the same as scooping groundnut oil.

What's the age of those women? obviously in their mid or early 20's.

Age has nothing to do with that. If you want to preach about marrying old layers, talk am with your full chest.

NOETHNICITY:
So if it is Muslims that are getting killed where then is the Christian genocide coming from. You guys are concocting a nonexistent genocide

.
If you could comprehend, you'd understand that I was simply telling you Muslims are free to kill each other, not kill christians too and expect silence.

NOETHNICITY:
Just glad that these are the type of individuals that have now become the face of Christianity.
Speaking about a fictitious none-existent Christian genocide. Meanwhile, Muslims in the North a being killed daily by terrorists without anyone to speak for them.

.
In the voice of Buhari... "Muslims killing each other should not concern christians. Is it their heads getting cut? The hands getting cut are Muslim hands!"

nairalanda1:
Well

1. Gays supporting Palestine is in line with the great western liberal tradtion of supporting people who are being oppressed...despite the fact that the same Westerners disagree with the culture and customs of the same people...so long as they are oppressed, they will defend their right to exist.

A principle underlying this is summarized below via aid of AI

.
Except when those oppressed happen to be christians or white men.

India national with the aid of nigerians

During slavery, black slaves were used to flog other slaves mercilessly.

That template is what the Indians and Chinese are replicating right here.

Yet na tribalism be una focus

Jakarta:
This is what I was telling that HacheNoire of a guy that was wailing about the US debt. He was wailing about the US, that is using $18.50 out of every $100 she earns to service debt, but if his own country earns #100, she needs to spend #124 just to service debts.

Na for Tinubu to borrow from loan sharks like fair money, and Okcash na him remain. Nigeria never had it this bad, the Tinubu government is a rudderless one, no single direction at all.

.
And worse is that he borrows for further enrichment of self and cronies.

More than a billion dollars borrowed for the so called coastal road no get head again.

Yet simpletons who have absolutely no share in the bootie will borrow data and defend because of tribalism.

kpankpangolo:
Handing his trash over. Leave it to coloured folks to make use of white people's leftovers.

As in both literally and figuratively.

Okrika and other used items come to mind

zoghys I just noticed that you and your selectively liberal fellows have seen and ignored this thread.

Where are those your amazingly good Muslims to lend their voice against the barbaric death penalty for blasphemy? Oh wait, they're actually supporting it, with suspicious silence from the likes of you.

nairalanda1:
And it's all down to the subsidy going....

I believe tinubu has lost the South east, largely because the South East's main industry, so to speak, is imports, and the sale of imported goods. Because the naira has been devalued, the amount of naira needed to buy forex has risen, which has made importing more expensive. Add the fuel subsidy removal making transport from the ports to the end point worse, and you have a lot of people suffering. Plus east relies heavily on food sent from the North...the grains, as well as imports, all now more costly thanks to dollars not being subsidised. As a result SE people are suffering massively .People would vote for Atiku and Obi.

Tinubu has also lost the North. Fuel should be reaching the N1500 mark by now, meaning that transport and so forth have gone up massively for many poor Northerners. Northern traders are having to deal with increased transport and other costs, ditto middle men. And the North is Nigeria's poorest region, so...there we are. Then the North has a raging insecurity problem, (it also affects the middle belt too, and the South). All that adds up to people voting for Atiku and Obi at the end of the day.

South West too is not safe, insecurity is a big problem, throw in high transport costs thanks to subsidy removal, and high costs of imports, and there you have it.

South South is going to be split between NDC and ADC.

The main thing is subsidy. In a way, with benefit of hindsight, tinubu and buhari should have supported susbdiy removal in 2012, by now the hard times from the removal would have dissipated, and assuming no changes in the leadership, there would have been enough in the reserves to pay for some limited subsides without borrowing. Instead, the best government can offer is a limited subsidy which would be paid for by borrowing.

In a way, tinubu is paying for supporting subsidy retention in 2012. He should have listened to the economists, not to the populists. But power hunger got him there (gej too should have been strong enough to remove subsidy, really tho).Had he listened to the economists, subsidy removal in 2012, would have meant that there would be no draining of the forex reserves to pay for subsidy on naira and on fuel.

Also, in 2015, APC had 15 million votes, in 2019, 19 million, 2023, 8 million. APC has been losing votes, not gaining.The signs are clear from that.

Subsidy is the issue in this election, and a good deed is going to get rewarded with removal. Funny enough, I doubt tht whoever takes over would bring back subsidy, but I do know that in 94 days time, Nigerians would vote out APC.

(I am ready to eat my words...but this is how it is going to be IMHO.)

.
The results for the next presidential election has already been written.

In fact, what Tinubu is looking for is a loyal and obedient successor within his circle, who would ensure the continuation of the Tinubu dynasty. That family is to Nigeria now, what the pazzis were to Florence.

MC oluomos son was right. Nigeria belongs to them now. Only violence can undo that.

I don't want Tinubu to win but make we no dey whine ourselves. Tinubu doesn't need your votes anymore.

MrEar:
Look at his supporters behind him laughing and clapping.

He indirectly mocked them, and they happilly clapped.

Trump will say and do the most stupidest things, and his supporters will still cheer and clap for him.

Typical behavior of people with very low IQ.

.
That behavior astounds me. Tinubu supporters have same behavior too.

At 64 he should have known that undergoing such operations carry more risks.

….U endanger yourself by being reckless and stvpid , but think those that couldnt save you in time should be sued??
But you don’t think tinubu should be sued for all the security related deaths in this country??

You dey reply that moniker that thinks with its feet.

In as much as I hate APC and everything it stands for, violence will not solve the problem.

Only by coming together on election day and voting out APC will we solve it.

Violence is the only way to remove anyone who believes power must be grabbed, snatched, and ran away with

Have all the modular refineries in Port Harcourt been destroyed for fuel to be selling so high there, much higher than other places in the country? not adding up

.
Modular refineries my foot.

Oil gets drilled from south south and piped to north and south west. The only one that temporarily stays in south south are the ones to be exported.

South south people are reduced to pipeline maiguard.

Congratulations Shalom. You did it!

Just imagine this woman didn’t build that game and went right to sleep after her husband told her not to.

Look what the 8 hours of sleep she sacrificed is worth now.

Make I go lock in abeg. 😭

“My husband said I can’t do that job”, “My husband said I must be home by 5pm”, “Daddy Bayo said I shouldn’t go there” can’t relate to this kind of win.

Sit down there o, let him lock you down and be giving you pennies when you’re actually worth billions. You hear?

zoghys:
My initial reply was either deleted while also been banned for saying how ****Ed you're upstairs. In your little and no significant mind, you will actually think you are fighting the cause. FOI, am a Christian but I won't let some knuckleheads denigrate other religion while I siddon look. I have seen good muslims and exceptionally bad Christians and if I may say terrorists irrespective of their religion should not be spared but you won't label a religion a terrorist religion because of some crazy few.

.
.
Stupidity has no religion, so don't come at me with an "FOI" I didn't request for.

Go and call those exceptionally good muslims to condemn the action of this small boy first. Then we can talk.

And you weren't banned for what you think. You were banned for being s----d.

Yeye dey smell

zoghys:
You have shown what i think you are. How many reform has been carried out by the Christians. I have seen and interacted with moderate Muslims who condemns and disassociate themselves from such dastardly act and will even give their lives to save Christians, likewise also we have Christians who don't deserve to be called followers or children of God because they are animal in human form. Extremism in Islam affect Muslim and Christian alike and should be condemn by every right thinking human being because no one can fight for God. The Houthis of recent attacked Mecca the birthplace of Islam, and that goes to show extremism either in Islam or Christianity goes beyond religion but misplaced priority and blind loyalty with a weak mindset. Those Christians who condemn every Muslim because of the action of few are no better than those few who perpetrate evil in the name of Allah.

.
1. I don't care whatever you may think of me, so don't overrate yourself. let's get that clear.

2. Limiting the effects of Islamic terrorism to only Muslims and christians, and subsequently limiting the voice of those who condemn these Islamic actions to only Christians, shows how shallow thinking you might be.

How dare you compare condemnations to actual killings and genocide?

How dare you lump people who kill and exterminate entire communities, and those who condemn such actions, as same ?

Only a person with agenda would dare utter that killers and those who condemn killers are the same. Are you even listening to yourself or just vomiting liberal gunk?

Let's all clap for, and molly cuddle terrorists then. SMH

zoghys:
If your CS didn't tell you ludicrous was misspelt Ludacris then you need help. And shame on people like you who condemn other religion while you protect yours.

.
If you do not realize that the misspelling mockery was an opening jab, then you're the one who needs help.

And yes, I will condemn any religion who's standard practice includes killing people of other faiths as much as possible.

These "moderate non extremist" Muslims would resist any suggestion of reforms for islam.

My condemnation is nothing compared to the lives that they took, take, and continue taking, with unintentional support from naive people such as yourself, who just want to appear good, liberal, and politically correct.

You say shame, but has it ever occured to you that some of these people killed would have made serious marks on the planet? Has it ever occured to you that the person destined to invent the cure for cancer may have been wiped out by some smelling religious airhead? And that he did it for his God?

How many known Muslims on nairaland have you seen on this thread condemning this small boy's actions?
