At least she's got kids

She has got the brain

What?!?!?!

Whoever had sex with her should be arrested for beastiality!

Lol, God forgive me but she looks like a cross breed between a chimp and a pitbull.

Isn’t this the same ugly fat pig who said Yorubas are rascals in a viral video on Twitter?

These people are clowns and they need to be tamed and put where they belong.

They owe everything they’re to Yorubas. Yet every time they lose out in the power play in Nigeria - they have an uncanny of starting unnecessary rancour with Yorubas. They’ll be the ones to provoke it and still claim victim when they get put in their place.

These people will never change.

Best documentary I have seen in the last decade or so.

I agree wholeheartedly. It’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a while and as a Yoruba son, I got a tad emotional at the end. A must-see for all Yoruba people - to understand how powerful we’re and how great the culture/traditions our ancestors created is.

I almost got teary eyed when the old Trinidadian woman was crying whilst singing the Yoruba song that has been passed from generation to generation from their ancestors. Interestingly, I was raised in RCCG church (I seldom go to church these days) and we used to sing that particular song during praise/worship back in the day. So, that basically shows that a lot of songs they use in Nigeria churches were actually songs ancient Yorubas sang to Orishas or at events - that were co-opted into Christianity.

There was also a regional Trinidad Yoruba song they were singing at the beginning about - “Ibadan ni ile and Oyo ni ile” (the lyrics look like that) to re-affirm Ibadan and Oyo as home - that was passed from generation to generation by their ancestors. And they didn’t even know ‘Ibadan’ is a city in Nigeria and ‘Oyo’ was an empire - until recently.

The Brazilians and Cubans singing in clear Yoruba at the end gave me chills.

But in Nigeria, Yorubas have to stay stuck with uncivilised forest dwellers (my bad, they have upgraded from forest to gully erosion now) whilst retrogressing perpetually as a group.

With the hanger in your words I can feel the pain in U. Please envy might kill U.

Sorry, I don’t envy poverty, primitivism and chaos.

But I’d gladly flog you with a switch to reconfigure your brain cells tho.

Bashet:
We will start by demolishing the market for its main college purpose. Now you keep wailing

Bro, if you have time, please watch ‘BIGGER THAN AFRICA’ on Netflix and you will weep for Yoruba people and their current condition in Nigeria.

misano:
We are not willing to stand alone when we have SE with us. U take power every 4 years yet the Igbos keep dominating U all in Lagos.

Shut the f…uck up, you don’t dominate shiiit anywhere in Yorubaland. You’re a nuisance and a destitute economic migrant group that engage in crime, illegal activities and a business model that only thrive in chaos whilst stifling development.

Left to me and the Yorubas I converse with - you add zero value to Yorubaland and you’re part of the reason why Yoruba people have become as backward as they’re in the 21st century. If we had our way, we’ll give you your Biafra right now.

Only useless and poorly educated lazy Yorubas who can’t think critically want a union with chaotic and hateful people.

misano:
Sorry the RICHESTamogst the 3.

I don’t give a fu…ck about waving dicks - that’s basically just to educate you that Igbos have zilch a Yoruba person who knows his onions can envy.

So, stop throwing idiotic words around, you brainless illiterate.

Bashet:
Don't mind the Ipob head. It's the audacity for me.

Na Tinubu cause all these yet these ungrateful bitter louts hate him.

He’s getting his blowback now. How can someone be that naïve despite the history of these people in Nigeria, when it comes to Yoruba?

The allure/lust for power sometimes override decision making and common sense. However, there’s absolutely no excuse. An Igbo would rather destroy something than let Yorubas have it.

misano:
ENVY IS KILLING YOU PEOPLE.

Even Sanwolu go call u mad man if U try to push Igboz out. Mugu.

The rich doesn’t envy the poor and disenfranchised. Igbos collectively are the poorest group amongst the big-3 ethnic groups in Nigeria.

You might find some lazy and scrounging Yoruba people that ‘envy’ Igbo criminals (there are dregs in every group) but definitely not my type of Yoruba. We don’t envy destitute.

Igbos are a destitute ethnic group in need of rehabilitation, hence they economic refugees all over Nigeria. However, the rehabilitation has to happen in Igboland because they’re a nuisance everywhere they go.

Anyway, you’re lucky someone like me isn’t in charge. Take your trash to Igboland.

misano:
Thank U. So go get a shop trade with them, then they will create provision for U.

I am not even Igbo, Yoruba people always want to eat from everywhere based on "Yoruba Land" trash

Shut up, you fucking illiterate.

Jakande gave them the land for free and all Nigerians deserve equal rights there. And it’s on Yorubaland - not Igboland. Take that clannish trash to your region.

I blame Tinubu and Yoruba elites to turning a blind eye to this nonsense.

That place needs to be knocked down and used for something useful.

These people are too clannish. They also hate one another. Only 10% for Abia and Ebonyi but Anambra, Enugu and Imo can enjoy 30% each. Zero for non-Igbos and fake Igbos in Delta and Rivers.

Get that trash off Yoruba land. The trash is a dumping ground for foreign goods and part of what’s killing local industries in Yoruba land. It’s worthless - let them take their trash to Igboland.

misano:
40% for the SE and 60% for others. Can't U read?

I think you’re the one who can’t read and you most likely failed maths in school.

The constitution in the OP clearly stated that Anambra, Imo and Enugu will produce 30% EACH (emphasis on EACH): 30 + 30 + 30 = 90%.

While Abia AND Ebonyi (emphasis on AND) will produce the remaining 10%.

When you add 90 + 10 = 100.

That’s 100% - what 60% are you looking for?

Morphinne:
It’s actually a very brilliant idea. A coastal city like Lagos harnessing wind or water for energy generation should be much more sustainable than rallying on Solar but all in all, let’s give kudos to both Mr President, Mohammadu Buhari and of course, the progressive, right-thinking visionary Leaders that God has been blessing Lagos and the entire south western States with, this is a really commendable thing and I’m glad Lagos and Nigeria indeed dodged a bullet by not believing that Anambra ogoro man

You don’t need one source - you can harness from different sources.

All advanced countries have at least 3-4 sources of energy which they harnessed to generate energy.

The US has at least 8. UK uses 7. Russia uses 5. China uses 6. Etc.

Slynation:
just wow...!! Absolutely wow!!

I reiterate: Igbos collectively are the poorest group amongst the big 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria. Yet you guys talk like you’re the richest. Isn’t that some type of mental illness?

I’m shocked he didn’t dispute Anambra and Enugu where he got over 95% of the votes, lol.

Even Kim Jong-un would be proud of that achievement.

Erm, this isn’t the time for Yorubas to get too complacent. Especially when dealing with hateful and desperate people whose existence is dependent on destroying/dominating Yorubas.

For the umpteenth time (this is for those who have ears): they’re not working alone. They have powerful international backing and the pattern is obvious.

Stay vigilant and be on your P’s and Q’s.

Lol, how much do these Igbos have?

These peasants act like they’re Arabs.

I’ve never seen a more delusional group filled with deceit like Igbos.

Igbos are collectively the poorest group amongst the big 3 in Nigeria - yet they act like the richest. It definitely has to be some form of mental illness.

jimyjames:
What is the meaning of think in Yoruba? This election has really exposed Yoruba's for who they are bigot fools

This is how to think in Yoruba?

You probably missed the flogging - they won’t miss you and your ilk next time.

You need it, so you can act right.

This guy is funny, lol.

He went from looking like an olokun worshipper to an undertaker.

He’s definitely not in charge - his mum and a bunch of Igbo people are the ones pulling the strings.

A 40-yr old dummy.

He’s very right. Having read a lot of documents about the June 12 annulment - there is a parallel between the two. MKO was also accused of being a drug baron since it was the height of the Iran Contra era with the CIA using Nigeria port as part of the transit areas (I’ll stop here).

Obi has no case in court and in a sane world - his petition should be thrown out of court. However, the same thing happened with June 12 and the election was annulled. So, you never know.

The elephant in the room and the unseen hand in this, is the US and its minions in Canada and the EU (the UK is trying to get ahead of the curve by trying to dissociate itself from the conspiracy). And these were the same actors in the June 12 case. The only difference is that they substituted Fulani elites with Igbo elites led by the puppet Okonjo-Iweala. They started with the ENdSARS colour revolution and social engineering.

Anyway, let me stop here. I feel for the Igbo masses because if this election is annulled, especially with what’s brewing currently - it won’t be pretty at all. This generation of Yoruba is different from the June 12 generation. Take that how you want to take it.

PrinceofSarcasm:
The Benin empire...
My people where the greatest empire ever met by the whites but like everything the Yoruba twist and change history and truth.

Lagos belongs to the Benin empire. The Yoruba / awari / egun people were slaves to the Benin empire.

The Benin empire used Lagos as a port to dock ships and.trade with foreigners.

The ports were mostly a hotbed for slave labour and trade hence the tribe today known as the Yoruba who were ourselves where plenty there

The Benin people own Lagos state . The Yoruba are a very evil and bad tribe, they thrive in lies propaganda and testing truth

Don't be surprised in future they will tell you how Lord lugard was a Yoruba man, or how Moses in the bible or the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was a Yoruba man.

Fear those people

Benin was more of kingdom than an empire. And Benin never had ships - Benin’s sojourn to Lagos in search of an Ilaje ruler was with Itsekiri navy and boats.

Oyo empire was the largest empire in Nigeria.

Amunethseranu:
I cry 4 u for what u did. Mark today & I'm not Igbo .
Igbos are silent but those who cry for u are other souths.

You and Igbos will be flogged again. But harder next time.

BastadThiefnubu:
Wait till May 29

Is that when Obi will resume back at his job as a market trader?

BastadThiefnubu:
The drug lord will never rule Nigeria.
He should celebrate his temporal stolen victory.

He’s already the supreme ruler of every inch of land in Nigeria and the emperor.

I’m sorry, that’s the reality while Obi is back to his calling as a market trader. Opportunists like Obi seldom win.

[size=18pt]Itsekiri Account[/size]

Well it started around the reign of Olu ijijen after the death of first Olu Ginuwa one of his son Ijijen went to Ode itsekiri where he was welcomed in during his walking into the capital he saw faces frowning and he asked what the problem is the people said they can’t be paying taxes to two masters and they can’t have two kings Olu ijijen said “take me to this man whom they call master” when he got to Olagues house he said “I am Olu ijijen ruler of Iwere I have come to let you know the people of this region are now under my rule and so all taxes being paid to you as of this moment has stopped”

Olague didn’t say anything or reply his word he went inside his house in his quarters in ode itsekiri when the Olu was going back Olague warriors shot an arrow against the king which scratched his shoulders Olu ijijen was prepared for something like that he took his few men and took down the Olague warriors but unfortunately Olague escaped the capital and ran away the itsekiri’s were happy and said Olague has been a tyrant forcing them to pay taxes the itsekiri’s being happy gave the Olu the title Ogbowuru

But Olu ijijen injuries from the fight never healed he died years later without an heir because of his condition from the fight his brother Olu Irame took over as Olu of Warri during one of his coronation anniversary he heard of the Olague’s having a kingdom that is expanding and giving troubles to the itsekiri’s in benin river, Olu Irame Wanted Revenge and also that the oba of Benin is tired of them.

the Mahins and Benin kingdom had a disagreement about power balance, that made the mahins to attack the benin kingdom communities close to the river banks. but they also attacked itsekiri communities also close to the river banks. those communities was under the kingdom of warri at the time (if they knew that some of the communities they attacked were itsekiri’s or they didn’t its not known)

the oba of Benin planned a land invasion, the Olu of Warri being angry at the attack on his river communities also his hatred for Olague he sent message to the oba, Olu Irame told the messengers to tell his cousin the oba of benin that he should prepare for war against the mahins that he will gather his forces both their strength will crush Olague…..

the war would have been won by the mahins because the oba could not have been successful as the mahins have naval forces something the benins doesn’t have their navy plans to use the large army out of benin kingdom to attack benin from the back through the river that would force the oba to retreat and would put the oba in the middle of the war getting attacks from front and back but the mahins navy was destroyed by the Warri Fleets “warri kingdom navy’s that was said to be the most powerful with 30,000 men and 70,000 war canoes at the time after Bonny kingdom navy” (Jean-François Landolphe)

The Warriors of Warri took control of the sea and invaded through the shores that gave opportunity to the oba after he heard his cousin is attacking from the river this put the mahin warriors in the middle of the battlefield most of them scattered and their citizens were displaced and ran away

When the Olu pushed more into the battlefield and saw the oba of Benin bathing with the blood of the citizens and warriors of mahins he didn’t like what he saw, so he stretched his left hands to the sky and uses his right hand to point to the boats at the sea shores the warriors of Warri fighting stops immediately seeing the beads of their king pointing to the sky and the sea shores meaning to leave the battlefield immediately the warri kingdom forces pulled away from the war and went back to the itsekiri communities that was attacked and there after left to warri kingdom capital (ode itsekiri)

The Oba of Benin having learned his cousin left like that was angry he lost a lot of man power the Olu of Warri later sent Some loot he got from the war to the Oba of Benin as so he doesn’t misunderstands his retreat from the war.

Olague had already escaped to what is now known as Lagos, the Olu wasn’t interested in chasing him further but he sent the oba of Benin 3000 fleets which paddled the oba to what is known today as Eko they were welcomed by the Aworis who were already aware of their coming the Aworis told them in other to catch Olague they need to station themselves in two entry points of area

The Aworis gave The oba a place where he stationed himself at Eko the itsekiri’s military were given a place where they camped at Epe and also where they found ijebu speaking people the Aworis joined in the search for Olague then came back to tell the itsekiri warriors that Olague was already dead they sent word to warri about what they were told but the Olu of Warri told them even if Olague is dead he wants his head so the soldiers remained in Epe.

The oba of Benin went back without the itsekiri escorts in a rush after he heard there was a coup attempt back in benin to dethrone him but he was attacked by the mahins/ilaje where he was drowned and killed his son Ehengbuda was crowned new Oba who wanted to take revenge against the mahins/ilaje but failed in doing so and also died.

Ilaje (Mahin/Ugbo) Account

Benin & Itsekiri joined forces to checkmate Mahin under Alagwe (Olague) and they barely had their way with the assistance of the Portuguese mercenaries.

One of these clashes led to Benin's foray into Lagos in the 1600s. The wars also claimed the lives of rulers across the kingdoms. It was during the reign of Olu Irame that the Itsekiris were said to be free from Mahin/Alagwe torment while the death of Oba Ehengbuda at the hands of the Mahins brought an end to the hostilities between Benin and Mahin.

𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐀𝐇𝐈𝐍 (𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐉𝐄) 𝐯𝐬. 𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐄𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈/𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒

The Mahins and their leader called Alagwe in Ilaje (Olague in Itsekiri and Oague in Benin) were core part of the pre Olu and Itsekiri people. They were the aborigines and Alagwe reigned supreme in father to son succession over the old Itsekiri area.

Now when the first Olu, Prince Ginuwa emerged from Benin and sojourned through many places which include today part of Ijaw land he arrived Ijala where he breathed his last. Ginuwa had no issues with the aborigines of the area including Alagwe who was so wealthy, affluent and very powerful, residing in a well decorated quarter in Ode Itsekiri. But when Ginuwa died his sons who were later settled at Ode Itsekiri after leaving Ijala became unruly and started demanding obeisance from their hosts. The successor of Ginuwa, Ijijen was taxing and demanding tributes from the aborigines which Alagwe and his group took exception to.

It won't be long before war broke out and from some accounts the first fighting claimed the life of Ijijen and when Irame took over the reign he sought help from Benin, Ijaws and later Portuguese. Now, Alagwe was more of mystical figure; endowed with traditional power and war prowess that made him invisible in battles. He was described as juju in some European journals which include 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏; 𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝑪𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒔, 𝑨𝒓𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒃𝒚 𝑯𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒚 𝑳𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑹𝒐𝒕𝒉.

However the game changed with the superior firepower of Olu Irame, and Alagwe was forced to retreat with his group, first to settle a place call Aba-Alagwe and later Ukparamo (meaning a hidding place in ancient Yoruboid language). It was during the reign of one the Alagwes at Ukparamo that a strategic land was discovered and relocated to. The place is known as Mahin today. The land is named after a particular wood/tree called Umaghen/Omeghen in Ilaje dialect found in abundance in the area.

The people prospered, flourished and expanded at Mahin. It was said Mahin practically had all the making of an empire under one of their kings named Alagwe Goro. The Mahin ruler was the overlord of the coastal way from Lagos to the boundary with Warri while the hostilities with the Olu and Benin on one hand rages intermittently.

The Olu and Benin ruler were said to be greatly disturbed and tormented by Alagwes. They felt threatened by his kingdom expansion and had to strategise and device a means to checkmate him. The Oba and Olu were also said to have maintained ties with some Ilaje chiefs of the time. Worthy to note some kings of Benin were born/raised in Ilaje in time past and some Ilaje were recorded to have rendered many spiritual, healing and war assistance to Benin. So there were account of espionage within Ilaje which revealed Alagwe cult's war secrets, oro rite to Benin and Itsekiri ahead of a big clash that proved decisive.

The clash was so fierce that it claimed so many lives on all sides but the coalition and their firepower was too much for the Mahin to repel and in the end Alagwe was said to have disappeared into the river around Emina while the Benins and Itsekiri looted Mahin's treasures.

Among what they looted was the finest of salts of the time and artifacts of spiritual and cultural significance.

The Mahin had a thriving salt, fish, mat and clothing industry. They were so organised, civilised, rich and commercialised as recorded even by pro Benin historians. See 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝑺𝒊𝒓, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒃𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑶𝒃𝒂 𝑬𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒖𝒘𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑳𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 1603, 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔 𝑱𝒐𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒂 𝑼𝒍𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌.

The Benin took the salt home and savour it and had a special song dedicated to its discovery in Mahin. Oba Orhogbua set foot in Lagos for the first time in the aftermath of the war, arriving with a largely depleted armies. Much was not recorded of the Olu of Warri afterward as it thus appeared they vacated the epicentre of the war and returned back to his capital Ode Itsekiri and had no real interest in spreading of influence up to Lagos like Oba Orhogbua who was taken to Lagos in fleets belonging to itsekiri’s in chase of Alagwe.

Meanwhile, the Mahin quickly picked themselves up from the war and regrouped for a revenge battle. For fear of the Mahins siege Oba Orhogbua had a prolonged stay in Lagos and elected for a longer and tedious inland route back to Benin passing through the Akure country side. Some said he was still attacked and barely escaped with his life.

He died shortly after his return to Benin and was succeeded by his son, Ehengbuda who led another war against the Mahins, but this was final, and a real total massacre of Benin armies. Ehengbuda was killed by Alagwe's people at Eluju Ibila alongside his armies with some captured and sold as slaves. The Mahin-Ilaje have a song that they use to recount that feat till today.

Regardless of the past hostilities Mahin/Ilajes and Itsekiris are of the same stock. One people!

Ritchiee:
You mean that Yorubas are jealous of your poverty and flight from your villages?

You sound stupid even when somebody is trying to mitigate the tension,you still continue your clannishness.
Nobody envies your petty trading but just do your petty trading with clout and brain.Dont overstep your bounds.Respect your hosts accordingly.
Yorubas should be talking about envy not Igbos because Igbos are still upcoming.

Igbos are their own albertross...
1.
Igbos started sharing power with the Hausas from independence.They controlled the civil service.Yoruba were marginalised because they said they were in opposition.
Yoruba did not cry but looked up to God.
Yorubas still came out tops.Till date,Yorubas are the most prosperous Nigerians in Nigeria and abroad.

2.
Igbos,because they were not satisfied with being second in command to the Hausas even with all their power in the civil service,due to covetiousness,carried out the first coup and took the baton of power from Hausa killing Hausas,Yorubas,South southerners,Midwesterners but leaving their Igbo brethren. shocked

3.
In order to have absolute control and power,Igbos introduced unitary system of govt so that everyone will be bringing what they sweated for in their land to them so that they can share the bounties indisciminately and without fairness."Baboon dey work,monkey dey chop" .

4.
Igbos,with greediness and their reknowned covetiousness,left Igboland to seek to be Premier of the Yorubas in Ibadan which was the most developed place in Nigeria then.
Eyeing other people's properties has always been in Igbos'blood.Na wah o shocked

5.
There were series of Igbo betrayals of the Hausas whom they killed,betrayed Yoruba to join Hausas to form govt and also killing them(Yorubas),betraying South South and killing their leaders etc.

6.
After the civil war,Igbos still betrayed their Southern brothers by joining the Hausa/Fulani again to form NPN govt.Yorubas were marginalised but they looked up to God for succour.

7.
Igbos still later betrayed their Southern brothers to form PDP with Hausa/Fulani,marginalising the Yorubas but Yorubas still looked up to God,the Comforter.

8.
Even when Nigerians voted for Abiola en mass,a large majority of Igbos voted for Tofa whom they hardly knew just to show hatred and betrayal to Yorubas.

9.
After Abiola whose victory was annulled,Nigerians decided to compesate the Yorubas.Yorubas brought Falae,their choice but Ekwueme and some Northerners went to bring Obasanjo from prison knowing well that Obasanjo had always gone against the interest of Yorubas from inception.Our Igbo brothers were happy.They voted massively for Obasanjo to spite the Yorubas who expectedly did not vote for him.

10.
It was only in 2015 that Yorubas (since 1960 plus that Igbos have been in govt with the Hausa/Fulani) finally went federal in alliance with some Northerners.

The truth is:
Igbos are cry babies.Always complaining and lazy to stand alone without govt like the hardworking Yorubas.
Igbos are serial betrayers.
Igbos have always acted greedy and covetiously.
Igbos are liars because nobody has the power to marginalise them because they have been in power with Hausas (and even Obasanjo) since independence.I
s it that they have been marginalising themselves
Igbos have always fought to control Yorubaland,first Ibadan as would-be-premier and then Lagos,which Okpara,Azikiwe and co labelled "no man's land".
The questions are:
Why did Igbos marginalise themselves when they were in govt for decades?
Why are they so greedy and covetious?
Why are they so fixated on Yorubaland?
Why cant they live with the noble,accommodating Yorubas amicably and without acrimony?
Why,why,why?

I like this in its entirety and it’s historically accurate.

2015 was the first time Yoruba went into federal alliance - apart from Akintola’s short stint (OBJ doesn’t count because he’s innately anti-Yoruba and only Yoruba by name). Sadly, Akintola was killed by Igbos.

Make sure you post this on Twitter and spread it because every time I check the Nigerian timeline there - it’s awash with Igbos crying, gnashing their teeth and rambling about ‘Yoruba tribalism’ while playing the victim card.

Great post and keep fighting the good fight. Posterity shall reward you.

festacman:
Defending your ancestral land l by constitutional means is one thing. Fanning embers of negative tribal sentiments is another and that's what brought about Rwanda Genocide.

Well, that’s your translation of what he said (which you’re entitled entitled to). However, since there was no call to arms in his statement - I don’t see any correlation between what he said and Rwandan Genocide. I guess you’re not well educated on what triggered the genocide. But it’s not shocking because people like making exaggerated comparisons based on emotions.

He affirmed that he was Yoruba before he became Nigerian which shows humanity and a man living in his truth - rather than an utopia to please usurpers and beasts of no nation. Evidently, based on that statement - it’s his responsibility to protect his Yoruba identity and every inch of Yoruba land from existential threats. And that’s what he alluded to in his statement.

Nigeria is a country of different nations and the earlier you guys accept that reality and respect the territory integrity of these nations within Nigeria - the better for you.

This vacuous scamming riffraff again.

He needs to be stripped naked and flogged thoroughly. Scum of the earth.

festacman:
A big low from Bayo Onanuga who should know better. Obviously, he needs to come down his high horse, delete his dark tweets and apologize for his avoidable hypocrisy.

It is important to note that this is not the first time most Igbos are voting against APC in Lagos. They had on two occasions in support of Jimmy Agbaje and on both occasions, tribal sentiment heightened but not at 2023 level.

The fact is this year, many young Igbos under Obedients who are politically naive took what happened during presidential elections as victory for non-Yoruba non-indigenes. It was interpreted as 'Lagos is no man's land' and in the process awakened the latent dangerous tribal sentiment among Yorubas. It was a very wrong move because you can't call somebody 's ancestral land, a no man's land.

However, it is disappointing how influential people around President elect showed worrying tribal colours. It created impression that Tinubu's presidency might be about settling tribal scores. If it goes that way, agitations for Biafra will increase in momentum.

Igbos have never equated Tinubu's activities under AD, ACN and now APC as Yoruba moves. It is therefore to equate Peter Obi's Labour Party moves as Igbo moves rather than a partisan move it is.

If you agree with the excerpt in bold (which is in your own words), why do you think he needs to apologise for defending his ancestral land against covetous and ungrateful usurpers?

The man can visit wherever he wants and believe hatred is bad. But he also has a right to be assertive and defend himself and his people against existential threat - which is a threat to survival. Both aren’t mutually exclusive.

He’s not the aggressor and he only responded to threats against his survival and survival of Yoruba people as a whole. Land and the survival of humanity are intertwined hence most wars are fought over lands.

Perhaps, Igbos are the ones who need to check themselves because when everyone says the same thing about you everywhere you go - it’s time you looked at the man in the mirror. The first pogroms in Nigeria happened in Jos in the 1940s, shortly after those people had contacts with Igbos. And since then, it has been the same story everywhere in the world where you find Igbos in sizeable numbers. Everyone can’t be wrong about Igbos.

The guy is weird. He’s so dumb, ignorant, boring and infantile yet very arrogant.

At least, with Obi I get a bit of comic relief whenever I hear his Igbotic trader-speak because he reminds me of those two midgets in Nollywood movies with his cadence despite how dumb he’s. Chinedu on the other hand is very repulsive and boring - not likeable at all.

He digs himself into a bigger hole every time he speaks. Lagos definitely dodged a massive bullet.
