Thank Obasanjo who deliberately cede Ishekiri oil to Ondo state

selemempe:
the dolt spoke yoruba to you! That means he is more likely going to be yoruba than Igbo...but guess what, you ignored all the signs that he is yoruba and started calling him Igbo....why? Oh because it's impossible to find a yoruba who doesn't like north? Is that why you believe he is igbo even though he speaks yoruba

selemempe:
this is just shameful...why do you yorubas feel this urgent need to always come to the defence of the north? Is it because of Islam? Do you think there are not million Christians in the north too?

Why can't you guys leave the north to defend themselves? Why must you think the guy is Igbo simply because he attacked the north? Is ffk or fayose or Reno omokiri Igbo too?

Bruh this is damn shameful on your part... unless of course you are a northerner

nisai:
Have I ever advised you against taking such stance against the Igbos? No bro because it's retaliatory against their campaign of calumny against us.

We should not castigate the whole of the middlebelt minorities because of the action or commentaries of one person from there. As long as we all are defending our tribe we should also remind one another when crossing the line bro. This is liberalism. This is what differentiates us from them, omoluabi ethos.

Pls

, what's the point of this quote now? To prove to me u are a Yoruba warrior? Or what
I'm saying what's best for my tribe, I'm sure you can use this energy to make your opinion known too rather than attacking me

Yorubas are doing intellectually well, but you people are not better than anyone else apart from Hausa fulanis when it comes to the love of knowledge and education.

Hausa fulanis are just the ones dragging everyone backward in this country and limiting other people's potentials.

Today, you cannot find a Middlebelt or Northern Christian Youth that is a full blown illiterate! Our Youth literacy is something like 99% right now! 30 years ago, it was not so, we were still dragging in the mudwater of Illiteracy with Hausa fulanis.

So, talking about intellect is bullshit to me.
The only thing you people have that I will agree with is the diaspora population! These ones can come in with their exposure and capital and invest massively in the region to bring development. That is the only thing I know my people don't have in significant number, however, we have now started traveling out!

See, I am part of a middlebelt movement and if not for this useless coronavirus lockdown, we want to begin massive exportation of some of our unique farm products to Western countries.
We want to establish better packaging industries for our products, better markets for our products cos we have naturally more potentials than any other part of West Africa.

Imagine only Plateau & Taraba state have a subtropical climate in West & central Africa! We can grow Tea, Apples, strawberries, Lavender, grapes and many other exotic meditarranean and subtropical products and end the importation of these things into West Africa. This is just a tip of what my group want to start doing this year.

So, Ogbeni, my people are not illiterate and anti-progressive like the Hausa fulanis. We can match Yorubas or any Southern group in development abilities. Our only problem is that we are not materialistic and this promotes slowness. This is not a very bad attribute as it has helped us with reduced crime rates, however we must work on it.

Idiataqueen:
Stupid country with stupid youths,see them arguing about their poverty stricken regions,as one region is France and the other region is sudan,as if these regions are not both in this country rule by demons in form of human,I will keep on saying it,in the next 20years Nigeria will still be the same, because of this rubbish they are doing now,fighting themselves instead to be fighting for developments,stupid youths.

nisai:
Baba this is not necessary. Yorubas are not known for this, pls.

kikero:
And if we don't have lawyers that are willing to defend the bad guys in court, we might as well dispense of the whole legal system, and return to the good old days of trial by ordeal, and mass lynchings, of anyone suspected to be guilty...without arguing whether they are innocent.

That a lawyer agrees to defend a bad person is not a commentary on the lawyer's morals...infact it even shows that the lawyer believes in the rule of law, and believes in a critical part of the rule of law, the right to legal representation.(It also shows that Awo was clearly paying attention in class in law school).

If you read the case, it wasn't just the Oba being defended, there were co-accused, and while some were found guilty in addition to the Oba, one was found innocent, due to lack of evidence. Would you have wanted an innocent man to die without the services of a lawyer.

Infact, you have allowed your hatred of Awo (who by the way, I don't admire as much as I used to because I think he was a Socialist, and he led the way to our bad economic future via his sharing money polices while Premier of the Western Region)..to cloud your understanding of a principle of law. If Lawyers refuse to defend the evil people...a time will come when they would refuse to defend innocent people because 'they look bad, or they have been accused of being evil'. Then things will get worse.

I conclude by this comment made by the father of a lawyer who was defending a known serial killer in court to his son

"To keep our society free and democratic, someone has to do your job, and do it well'

Your choice. A society of laws, or a society of anarchy.

What’s the work of a lawyer?

SciLab:
To be frank, not every lawyer would take that case. There are some lawyers with moral conscience. I know Rev Frs and Rev Srs who are lawyers, they won't touch that case with a long pole.

Awo was a man with dead moral conscience, a very sleazy and dangerous lawyer and politician. We must say it as it is.

your way of writing, starting every word in capital letter is frightening

Hoephase:
Awolowo did what every other lawyer would have done.

My only concern is that even after these years and the level of education of the SW ritual killings is still common in skull mining Republic.

I would be glad if someone with a good understanding of the psycholog of an average SW explain to us why ritual killing is pervasive in SW. I am just curious and want to learn.

Kemz77:
Yoruba offering solution to ease their pain because they are feeling this more than other regions. No, will must support Buhari lockdown!

CoronaVirusPro:
Thanks!..

So that was what warranted the 10 million words article.

Sigh.

LegendHero:
I don’t want to start going round in circles anymore. Why are the Mexicans that much in USA and doing cheap labor? Why can’t USA rather go to Mexico to acquire farm lands to get the cheap labor instead? Can you see where you are wrong?

What do you even mean by the middle-belt? Are Kogi and Kwara Yorubas also included in your imaginary middle-belt? Last I heard Kwara is more educated and better than Plateau state in terms of socio-economic index. Correct me with real data if I’m wrong.

Lastly, how exactly are you Jos-Benue-Niger, etc better than the core North? Kaduna and Kano beats any city in the aforementioned states. Core-North especially Kano and Kaduna have more business men with greater economy than those middle belt states.

Besides education which I can say the middle-belt has, what else is there to show over that side. Are you not all living together like killers over there? One is a Muslim fanatics, the other part are Christian fanatics.

You’ve not shown much proof that you are 100miles ahead of those core-northerner you always tend to disparage. Even if you’re above them, it’s with a slight statistics.

MetaPhysical:
Ol boy which one is your tribe in middle belt?

Lol I give up on you dude, go do bend-down select and collect it in your ass from your abusive father, no be my precious time you go waste.

Nowenuse:
Seriously, I wonder why you guys take so much time and efforts to explain your cowardice of Ilorin, when u could have chanelled that effort into something that could have made more meaning.

No matter how u guys try to wish Ilorin away by speaking English, it will never ever go away.
Ilorin remains under the jurisdiction and subserviency of the Sokoto caliphate as long as there is an Emir there who is an extension of the Sokoto caliphate, full stop!


Many Northern minorities have broken out of these satanic Emirates and guess what, they did it with violence! That's some balls you guys are yet to develop.

Southern Kaduna people started revolting against Fulani Emirates in their midst from the 1987 Kafanchan riots down to the 1992 Zangon Kataf crisis where they made sure no Hausa fulani person survived from that town!
By the time they displayed their madness again in 2000 Sharia crisis, the Hausa fulani governor then had no option but to create their chiefdoms for them by force.

Is that not the same thing Sayawa people did in Tafawa Balewa? Go and tell any Fulani man that ties a bedsheet on his head to enter that town and go and do Emir again, he will slap you! Cos when Sayawa people descended on them in 2011, even the Emir district head then was chased away with his bedsheet on his head running for his life

Mubi Emir always sent subemirs to rule Michika town (Adamawa) and when the last one died and a new one was coming in, Michika boys dared him to come into the town if they will not behead him, the idiiot had to reverse back to Mubi with his bedsheet on his head and that is how till date no Fulani idiiot can enter Michika town to claim he wants to rule.
The indigenes coronated their own king even though the state govt has refused to recognize them. That is what is called BALLS.

That is why I laught at those who call my people weak because of fulani herdsmen hit and run tactics. The day all our tribes will unite and say enough is enough, that day will mark the beginning of the end of Nigeria .... And this I can promise everyone will happen in less than 4 years from now.

LegendHero:
Ilorin is strictly a religious affair, why can't you guys just understand this?

How are the Fulanis controlling Kwara/Ilorin in the present dispensation. What is the power of the Fulanis on the Kwara/Ilorin architecture in general? Do they constitute the highest number of elected officials, political power, economic power, religious power, educational intellectuals, and etc. What exactly do you mean by controlling?

myobjective:
You have crossed the line here. No plateau group can be compared to any Yoruba. You guys are an insignificant minority that doesn't count in the grand scheme of things.

Your Jos is not even better than Akure... Guy travelled more to have a better understanding of the country you live in.
