I'm doing pretty well typing from my phone, non?

Please excuse the typo and grammatical errors.

tpia@:
Jesus Christ, you are certainly in a permanent psychotic mode.

Go vomit on someone else, kindly take your animal character elsewhere.

On top another person website you wan die, shows you have no life.

Yet you are on that same site exposing your chronic state of lunacy in which the wind blows you in all direction and display all your deranged wares for all to see on whichever thread has the misfortune of receiving you.

I am yet to see a thread in which you have made a coherent response to the topic at hand. I hold my breath.

DeLaRue: London is not centrally placed.
Neither is Washington.

Infact, they are both in near-extreme locations in relation to the rest of their respective countries.
So, what is the problem?

No doubt you will tell me oh those are different. In what way?

By that reasoning then, you should be advocating for Lagos as the capital.

DeLaRue: Sorry, I did not cover the second part of your response.

You refer to the size of Ibadan as a reason for it to be a capital. But that is exactly one of the reasons why it should not be the capital. It will be more difficult to develop into a befitting capital than a small Akure where there is plenty of scope even in the centre of town.

Language - I laugh o! Ibadan speak 'standard' Yoruba ke. Standard may be to you. But I tell you, majority of the people in my town will have to listen carefully, extremely carefully, to understand the type of Yoruba spoken by people from Oyo State. Why do you expect us to cope with your version of Yoruba, but you cant countenance coping with ours?

Just to let you know, the type of 'flat' Yoruba spoken in Lagos is the version more widely spoken here. Not the Ibadan/Oyo type.

Yoruba is a diverse language. Thinking that yours is standard and everyone must follow you is part of the problem.

I have Ondos, Akure in my family and as friends and to be honest, this is the first I've ever come to the knowledge of Ondo/ Akure wanting to distinguish itself/Themselves from other Yorubas. I'm afraid you are a lone ranger on that path.

Well, the Ibadan dialect or dare I say Osun dialect is the standard Yoruba dialect if the Yoruba films and theatre are also anything to go by. I know that I understand that dialect better than any other dialect aside mainstream Lagos and Ijebu dialects.

As per Ibadan being to large to develop, I beg to differ. Awolowo proved that it can be done and has the unitary system not cut the life of our regional prowess short, I doubt you will be singing that tune today. Akure is a beautiful city, visited for my secondary school admission back then. Stayed in a lovely hotel and enjoyed every bit of it. In as much as I didn't get to see much of the city then? It left a very good print on my psyche. However, my vote still goes to Ibadan for its history, size and strategic location.

If that idea seem to incomprehensible to you, you can start a campaign against joining the new Yoruba nation. I must warn you though, that alone you shall stand.

Ibrahim mr fish: So,Kogi is now part of south ?I will really like to see what on earth,can make us joined the oduwa republic.U have to kill all able body men in Kogi for that to happen.Kogi,kwara and Benue are all north,accept that or put your region in hundred year war.We will never give up,what belong to us.

But there are Yorubas in those states. Are you happy for them to be with you?

shymexx: Interesting thread.



I honestly don't know or think Ijebu's marry Igbo's in droves. I can use my family tree and I don't think there's anyone married to an Igbo. But I can see a few Ghanaian women with Ijebu babies. I might be the first, who knows? However, Ijebu's do have unconditional love for Egba's and Awori's - and the bond is very strong.

Anyway, I can say Ijebu's do get along with Igbo's, perfectly. Ijebu's are merchants and apparently they were the first to spend money in Nigeria. And getting money is Ijebu-esque. And I heard Igbo's do their little thing when it comes to money/business the informal way. So it's only right for the big brother and the original money-maker (Ijebu), to get along with his prodigy (Igbo). I know my pops has a lot of Igbo friends - and I'm also surrounded by a lot of Igboid people. Same with my brother and my uncles.

Ni kukuru(in short), you are substantiating his observation.

Hmmm...all these Ijebu waterside people gan sef.

tpia@:
Desola

Abeg sharap, you like to run mouth as if someone made you a spokesman for anywhere.


Rubbish, its your type who will run cap in hand to the igbos you say you're abusing, in your usual pretentious manner.

Oh, now I get it, you got some ibo dingadingaling earlier today!

So happy for you snookums. Old hags need some love too even if it's from ibos. That you are almost at menopause doesn't mean it should gather cobwebs if Yoruba men are not checking it out ojare.

Sis, I can't hate your game jo! After all Yoruba men dey pot ibo girls too. 2 ge 4!

Jaye ori e, ko sarugbo n'ghana jo!

tpia@:
I am not from ondo dear.

And neither am i going to engage in the vulgar back and forth you're known for, i have no time for internet cowards, find your level, i am not it.

If an igbo man dumped you thus you want to deny any comity with igbo people on account of your crappy nature, too bad, doesnt mean a thing.

Is this an avenue to settle scores abi what? Moreover, what has okoro madu got to do with this now? Are you ovulating or pmsing or better still suffering from the effects of menopause? Because I no just understand this cattiness tonight o.

If you are not careful, I will b1tch slap and defang you tonight.

Who died and made you statistician for ijebu a supposed inter marriages?

Oponu ayirada

DeLaRue: Sorry everyone, I started the thread and appeared to disappear. I didn't mean to be rude. I ran out of juice on my laptop and was hoping it would be back but up till now, nothing. I had someone over to fix my gen, but when I got home it still didn't work. As a final act of desperation, I thought to try a DIY on it, and presto, it worked!

And no surprise, I see I have been attacked by the usual suspects. We shall see when the time comes!

Just to clarify again, I rarely get involved in the usual e wars (though I've taken the bait occasionally), - check my records.

All I am saying is that there is no reason why Akure cannot be the capital, in every sense. Lagos and Ibadan cannot keep taking and taking while Ondo and Ekiti remain behind.

Bringing the capital to Akure will ensure that Akure, and hopefully Ekiti get accelerated development - surely this wiull be to the benefit of everyone, including our great Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo people.

Of what good is Lagos and Ibadan, if everything around them remain more or less as they were in the 70's?

Why didn't you make a case for Akure being the capital city with grounds for your demands; from the onset? Rather, you came out baring your biceps showing your tiny muscle and asking for anyone to come and see if they measure up.

Your approach was very wrong indeed.

I am a Lagosian, but I make for Ibadan to stay as the capital because of not rich heritage and accomplishments. Now, this is not saying that Akure hasn't achieved similar feat but it does not boast of similar size and diversity as Ibadan. More so, Ibadan's dialect is standard and easier to understand.

CyberG: Kare joo, ignore him, ayaba! We know your punches are strong enough to knock 7 out at once but reserve that strength for when we will need it on the other side! Don't let people derail the conversation/thread.

Sure thang!

boay: Contribute to the topic instead of frustrating the effectiveness of the post. Please try to understand, no offence ma'am

Is this your other moniker?

Epic fail. My mission here is to rile nitwits. If you fall into that category, please be a good spot and suck it up!

The more you respond with your mundane comments the more you frustrate the flow so put a sock in it; Shake Baka and vamoose!

CyberG: Nonetheless, be civil or all your posts will be hidden if you keep being aggressive. If you are Yoruba, behave, if not be civil and show some respect to your commentators (as they have also tolerated something you said which they disagree with) because if you were the only one here, you would not be talking to yourself alone!

His aim is to rile me enough to say something untoward so as to have me removed. I know his game.

[quote author=boay][/quote]Contribute at/ to what exactly?

CyberG: Knock it off man! Stop pursuing our sister, just talk to her properly and I am sure you can both disagree and still hug each other. If you are a Yoruba, you interest is her interest : TO BOTH PROTECT YOU COLLECTIVE INTERESTS! So you see there's no need for unnecessary harsh words!

Desola, take it easy too abeg.

That one? He is lightweight. He has Oam4j to thank for my decorum. He must think I'm ibo.

Me! I no look uche face o. Maa ti won fun loju Pali.

0monnakoda: Thanks for your comments. Any person who is truly "Yoruba" knows that Kwara State is the homeland of "Yoruba" which to me means Oyo and "Old Oyo". Just like the word Gay has changed its meaning "Yoruba" has now come to mean something entirely different from what it meant 200 years ago

Itan abalaye from the stables of Nairaland's armchair historian.

Muhehehe...

Pukkah: What a laughable, baseless and unsubstantiated claim.

Honestly, this thread has become a joke.

It is true!

Tilapia? Sorry, Tpia confirmed it. She is an authority as she has carried out an empirical research all over Yorubaland most especially Ogun state, even though she hails from Ondo.

tpia@:
Abeg get a grip and stop embarassing yourself.

So because YOU ostensibly say you dont like igbos, that means other ijebus stay away from igbos?

Oshi radarada nworry e.

And yes, which ijebu are you?

Muhehe...

Oro na dun, o fe ke!

Is your picnic finally complete? Found those missing sandwiches yet!

0monnakoda: That is nearly witty

As long as you know it!

0monnakoda: We were having a debate until some attention seeking ...let us be polite and say person came here with their insecurities.
Can we stick to the issues

I know! When they told me it was you, I wasn't surprised.

So glad Jarus is here.

funshint: Generally 4rm my observation; ilorin pple are a confused bunch because:
1. Most of them claim to be northerns mainly 4 political reasons
2. They exhibit LSE(LowSelfEsteem) because they've been so subjugated by d Hausa/Fulani oligarchs to d extent that they feel that their yoruba identity is inferior to that of Northerners or why do most of them hv to dress and behave like Hausas? Thesame thing in Kogi state except u're told d dep.gov(Sunday Awoniyi) is yoruba, u wouldn't know 'cos he's alwys dressing like a northerner.
3. To those claiming that Kwara state is part of North u most really be deluded. Go and chk d map, u'll simply agree wit me. The rivers niger and benue clearly outlines d division no contest.
4. How can Benue pple also claim 2 be part of North as being championed by David Mark? Someone or some pple must definitely be high I swear!

Thank you ojare, Eyan iyi!

[quote author=jahrule][/quote]No thanks.

I don't want boko to haram mi.

Jarus: chei, yarinya dan iska

Enemy within

jahrule: If Ibadan is the administrative head of Yoruba, Ekiti / Ondo as Academic/ research Headquarters, Ife Osun is spiritual home and Lagos been Economic Headquarters. I think Kwara can be the Military Headquaters since they are more like that or what do you think about this.

And when Aboki says rankadede to them, they turn back and stab their Yoruba brother. Otio o.

Say rankadede or Salam alaikum to kwarans and they forget Yoruba sharp sharp.

Jarus: omo Yoruba ni mo joor. Emi Iyeru okin omo olofa mojo, omo abisujooko, omo laare buure

Olofa mojo ko, olojojo ni.

Aboki feeling funky.

hercules07: Offa people see themselves more as Yorubas than Northerners, you might have not lost anything by not being a South Westerner, but, if this nation should collapse and everybody goes his way, my brother, it will be better you go with those who speak your language o.

Lie!

As an Eko chick, I will go with Egun before going with Aboki kwarans. Although I do not share a language with Eguns, I am accustomed to their way of life. Kwarans should better go with those they share customs and practises not forgetting religion.

Ni kukuru, let Aboki take the assimilated Yorubas.

Kachifo!
