Billyonaire: So you agree with me today. Shows there is hope in my quest to enlighten Nairalanders.

Cultured: What point were you trying to make ?

utumunta: Tinubu is a 15th century politician dat feast on d poverty n ignorance of d populace. An opposition leader dat pays judges n has d appeal court president in hs pocket? (wat do u tnk akeredolu is doin in ondo? Tinubu knws he z nt goin 2 win buh salami's boy must be lukd afta) He is worse dan d PDP dat he wants 2 succeed cos ACN is a one man show.

Gbawe: @OP
I am well aware of your mischief but I will indulge you because, as El Rufai stated recently and as is commonly accepted, "a lies may begin to sound like th truth if repeated a million times".

The "hatred" of Tinubu is not from the SW or even the North. It is sectional and not general. That is the bottom line.


Even the most upright men in the SW , like Wole Soyinka, will never tell you they "hate" Tinubu. They may dislike Tinubu and his methods but even the most intellectual folks in the region, perhaps grudgingly, appreciate how Tinubu ensured Alao-Akala is replaced with Ajimobi. Ditto with Fayemi replacing Oni and Aregbesola replacing Oyinlola and Amosun deposing Gbenga Daniel. This is what we have always asked for because the SW is a region that wants the best in charge. We know mistakes will be made but progress will come when men of others, who have delivered consistently throughout their working lives, get the chance to lead. Simple concept
By the power i claim for myself, I therefore anoint Gbawe as president Association of Yoruba NLers...or Aare gbogbo Yoruba NLers. If you second say Yeeeeee!

The brightest in Yoruba land understand that there is no better template for development than ensuring the best and most talented leaders gain control of influential office. Tinubu is ensuring that this happens , as we can all see, while OBJ and others did the opposite in the past to leave the SW a region where uncompromising criminals, because they were in power, cowered, ostracised and excluded talented and brilliant Yoruba folks.

How is Soyinka to hate Tinubu when an ACN Governor (Aregbesola) picked Soyinka to head an education summit convened to brainstorm the way forward for Osun education? Where the Soyinkas of the world were excluded in the past, they are all now being carried along in the project the SW has embarked on centred around using the brightest and most talented to move the region forward. This has been absent for a long time and this is one of the main reason it is those outside the region who hate Tinubu passionately. They perceive him to be the conductor of this symphony of united purpose they are afraid may actually come to fruition because, unlike in the past under the PDP, the best are in charge now.

There will always be PDP Yorubas who will hate Tinubu for taking away their cake but, by and large, the most vociferous haters of Tinubu on Nairaland are those from outside the SW. Your attempt to then project their warped hatred, driven by ethnic bias and intolerance, as conclusive evidence that "people" hate Tinubu is pathetic. "People" hate Tinubu indeed. It is you and yours who hate the man and are obsessed with him. You should look inside you to see why you "hate" others blindly if you are at all interested in introspection that may make you a better person. The politicians who are currently in office and failing you directly deserve your hatred and attention far more than Tinubu.

ojubi: The replies from 80% of guys on this topic is absolutely disgusting and uncall for.
Have u ever treuly loved someone and feel that the whole of your life depends on them and without them u do not have a future?
Have u ever made plans for the future and those plans are customised with only one woman?
Have u ever looked in the world of women, and all u could see is only one woman?
Have u ever cried because of love?
If u ever answer any of this questions on the affirmative you will see a rejection of your marriage proposal as one of those issues we all as humans figth to get.
I dont know about you guys but many of us applied for admission and wrote jamb like 2 or 3 times before we were admited into d uni. We never gave up, did we?
Real men dont run away from responsibilities, or adversities, or problems, naither do we give up.
Here is what i will do:
I will seek to understand the reason for her refusal, if the problems lies with me i will work on my self ASAP and try again.
I will go to God in prayers believing in faith that if this is the woman he has bless me with, he will turn her face to me.
I ll figth untill i get what is mine cause nothing good comes easy.

I do not blame a lot of u boys for yo dumb comments here because u re not yet ready for marriage, hence u do not know the challenges involved in taking that impotant step of your life. So u think any woman goes.
And for the records not all girls are despirate for marriage. Some want u to wait untill they accomplish certain things bearing their fathers name. So wise up guys and stop disrespecting women.

thegoodjoehunt: He is in love with her but she isn't in love with him. That is why he is proposing and she is saying no. The lady in question isn't the winner of Miss Perfect. Yet he wants to marry her. A lady out there is on her knees praying to love him without him being perfect. He should go out there and find her. Leave this lady to find her Mr Perfect.

When she finds that all that glitters is not gold. She will know that she should have accepted that ring and worked on his faults before marriage.

DICKtator: SEE MODERN DAY SLAVERY. WE DO NOT ONLY WANT THEIR NAMES AS REVEALED, WE WANT THEIR FACES AND HEADS!!!

micklplus: To tinubu, don't talk too much. Put your strategies in place if you have any.
To mimiko, keep working, if at all you've done anything that is worthy of praise oo. Don't engage in verbal missiles. You don't have to be scared of losing nah

To Akeredolu, you be SAN nah? Forget rhetorics! Show us what you've got!

To Ondo people, its your state mehn! You know what you want.

To INEC, just do your job !

To all of una, make shut up and get the job done ASAP!

Eze Promoe: It's Swahilli

Ngodigha: You are wrong, no one has come here to derail it, but if I say yorubas have tribal marks, does not mean I want to derail the thread, Bingo, do you understand.

Believe in making a life to make a day and not the other way round.
Would celebrate even if you buy an handkerchief.
All senoirs are either aunties or brothers.
Believe English language is good but will rather expres himself Yoruba.
Lick your fingers after meal without an apology

Eze Promoe: Mana nwanne, kam jiri oghere gwa gi na i bu uchu churu echu. Ndi mmoo jiri aja kpochie gi onu na imi. IDENGERI!

shola shogo: Dr. Olusegun Mimiko has performed well in the past three and a half years and i believe he still has more to offer ondo state. one good term deserves another. for a governor like Mimiko who has done reasonably well in his state, despite that his opponents have decided to close their eyes to the good projects he has embarked upon in the state. but he'll definitely win in the coming election.

IYA NGBALI: helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Eze Promoe: What of Aba?

chucky234: Graduate what? This is becoming an insult to our teeming graduates,every small contractor who can neither read nor write wants to employ graduates as drivers.

mekuslogan: Awolowo did what people do to enemies in a war. People kill their enemies with guns or with starvation. I understand that. What I do not understand is why it is a problem to say exactly what Awo did to the Igbos: he tried to exterminate the Igbo by hunger seeing that the guns were failing to do so.

Why are Yoruba angry about the truth said of their leader?
Is it not the same thing that we have been debating here on NL since eon that Awo was a monster to the Igbos during the war? What is different in what Achebe wrote?

Do you Yorubas want Igbos to have been starved by Awolowo and to keep quite about it? Igbo were starved by Awo's policy, fine by me, seen all is fair in war, but to ask me not to talk about it is a little bit insulting, no?
