If Yoruba people could called osibanjo omo ale, or Obj fôolish man, I am not surprised

My brother. Today he is igbo, tomorrow he is Sierra Leonean , maybe next Togolese

BlueRayDick:
What u should be saying is different ethnic groups In Nigeria have their own specific areas outside their regions they prefer traveling to.

Go to places like Yauri, Zuru in Kebbi and u will practically see Osun state and Oyo State indigenes speaking Yoruba freely on the street. The same in some parts of southern Kaduna. Go to Abidjan in Ivory coast and u will see Yorubas from Ejigbo In Osun State conversing in Yoruba in large numbers like it's the official language.

There are Hausa speaking who flood Lagos and even have communities in places like Agege, Okokomaiko, Shibiri, etc. There's even Kano street In ebute mẹta Lagos mainland.

Igbo's like to travel to the north to trade and also to other parts of south to trade. They also travel abroad to Asian countries like China, India, Malaysia etc.

No be must say Yorubas must flood the east before u believe they travel oustide their region. U can.oy speak of what u know about, stop generalising and making it look like Ur own point of view is the S.I unit of judging a whole tribe

Lol, bro calm down.
I am speaking for myself already and what i said is my view. It doesn't mean it is yours.
You also say yours the way you view it and the viewers will compare, sieve, pick and learn from it. That is how discussions go.
Why i agree with your points, i will add that most yorubas even prefer traveling out to abroad because we have the believe that other nigerians are coming to Lagos for greener pasture, so literarily, it doesn't make much sense going the the other way.
It is like a British coming down to hustle here why most of us are going there to hustle. So the best is for the British to go to US or Canada if they want a greener pasture. Atleast, that is the mentality
Many yorubas believe rather going to other regions, it is better we go abroad reason why we full places like pecham in UK, Atlanta Georgia in US and co

Lagos that is full with agberos and touts

You have a tout like mc oloumo who controls some part of a territory and Treasury and you ask yourself if this is the city they boast of?

A state that one particular person is holding in his palms? Is that one a state?

If tilumbu can conquer Lagos and hold it in his palms, why can't the igbos conquer this Lagos too?
Abi obi never conquer tilumbu for him backyard?

If obi has conquered tilumbu.. that means igbos too can conquer Lagos which they have already conquered

At the bolded.......why do you want to conquer them? i guess that is what they are trying to resist.
Conquering is symbolic to turning them into slaves which if true, then many will preferred to be conquered and slaved for their own than outsider. Basic human nature
Tbh, the city called Lagos is at a turning point of power tussle between the indigenes and settlers.
It has always been for major cities in the world. That is the major problem of many cities even from ancient times... from Damascus in syria to Jerusalem (jews and arabs), to Timbuktu in Mali(arabs/fulanis/indigenes), Luanda, Lagos etc It is the reason Peace will always be an illusion in the world...Power tussle on who to control the city.
I don't know how the yoruba elites will handle this situation but if care is not taken, Fighting is inevitable. When will that be? i don't know. Maybe 5 years from now, may 50, may 100 but the possibility of Fighting on who to take control of the city is inevitable.
But let us all be rest assured, this is a moving train and it will never stop.
Ojo to ro pa ara Ede, o si n bo wa kan ara Oyo..........The man in Oyo should not laugh and mock the Ede man that is battling with the heavy rain and flooding that falls in Ede and washing away people and properties because sooner or later, the rain will get to him too.
Today is Lagos, tomorrow will be Ph and then Warri and then Calabar, Benin, Uyo and the list continues. Like i said before, this train doesn't stop

BlueRayDick:
The bold is totally untrue! My uncle ( my father's younger brother) has been living in Port Harcourt, Rivers state since I can remember. He married an indigene in 1998 and myself and the rest of our family were there live in Port Harcourt in 1998. I watched most of the France 1998 world cup in port Harcourt.

Need I tell u that my family is a typical Yoruba family that has both Christians and Muslims in the family line. My grandma is a core Muslim but never objected to him marrying a south southerner who is a christain and even didn't have issues with my uncle when he converted to Christianity. My grandma loved her daughter-in-law like her own daughter despite not speaking same language.

Make Una stop these myopic narrative una dey drop ; it does nothing but wants to make those of us who are reasonable to want to join in the tribal rofo rofo fight una dey mong around.

FYI: My uncle still live In Rivers State till date and he owns properties there just like Igbo's, Hausas, Ibibios, Efiks etc own properties In Lagos.

Itsrm is even a Yoruba man and he lives in Rivers state as well.

When i say many yorubas don't travel to other southern nigerian cities, it doesn't mean we don't. We do but our number is minute and not in a sizeable amount to be really recognised.
I am yoruba too. I have worked most of my life in PH/calabar/warri area and i schooled in Oron. So the best part of my life has been outside south-west so what i said may not be totally true but large percentage of it is.
I have families too who built houses in PH and co.

Realmrsean:
I don't even rate Lagos a single bit

My preferred cities in Nigeria is Abuja and akwaibom and my own Owerri here

I don't even know what people see in that Lagos sef

If i am to rate in terms of cleanliness, organization, infrastructure in relation to landmass (i have to use in relation to landmass because the average yoruba will come for my head. What this means is that your development measured according to your land size. You can't regularly use lagos island to boast for the entire lagos when it is not more than 25/30% max of Lagos while others are shanties)
Soin relation to your land size,i will rate this towns/cities/state accordingly -
Uyo
Calabar
Abuja
Asaba
Lagos/Onitsha/Owerri/Ph/Benin/- are allin this basket.

2 of my Ogas who are oyinbos on 2 different occasions have asked me if actually Calabar is part of Nigeria.
I mean different oyinbos at different times and places because they have landed in Lagos, they saw how roudy and shanty it is, they have landed in Ph and saw how our city is and then they landed in Calabar and from the airport, the organisation, cleanliness etc. They were marveled and wondered if they are still actually in Africa.

Unfortunately, Calabar is deteriorating gradually now. Was there early last year and not really happy the way it is been handled.

obainojazz:
I had to check your profile to be sure you not another moniker.


I’ve been to all South East states except Ebonyi and I can say if you not from Lagos… one shouldn’t even talk about underdevelopment in south east

You need to see heavy development in Enugu and Owerri as I was shocked when I first when there.

That is totally true but the average Yoruba man won't agree with you since he believes Lagos is the eldorado of Nigeria. The London of Africa to him.
And come to think of it, aside the Lagos sef which is still an eye sore anyway, other south-west towns/cities are virtually nothing to write home about. I guess that is why most of them always cling to the so called Lagos.
If you go to our hinterlands - Oyo, ibadan, abeokuta, oshogbo, ogbomosho etc Damnnnnnnnnn
1. The literacy rate is very low
2. Basic social amenities/infrastructures are very poor- roads, access to good water (mostly wells in this modern day for God sake), etc. It is sickening and scary.
If the Yorubas continue on this trend and not address it,in few years time they will be left behind and that is if we are not left behind already.

I Love my people and i want the best for them but with what am seeing, it is really scary. The leaders and stupid Obas are not trying at all.

I don't celebrate rubbish and nonsense.
The so called Lagos they all even want to die on top,i don't really see anything special in it. Abi no be the Lagos we dey again?

DissTroy:
Damn straight! We've been quiet for too long. Imagine depending on me for pocket money as a distant relative yet asking one of our mutual relative who lodges in your part of the estate but feeds and clothes himself to vacate the premises? Then I'd have to in turn stop the allowance and turn off the light.

Good luck surviving on your own.

Like Wizkid said, call me daddy.

The problem i have with my Yoruba brothers is that they hardly travel to other parts of Southern Nigeria.
To them, Lagos is the all and all of Nigeria. They believe Nigeria starts and ends in Lagos.
Aside Lagos, the next place the typical yoruba man thinks of relocating to is abroad. To him, no other place is better than Lagos so why should he go the other way round when those people are coming to his side.
For some of us who are not homeboys (i usually use it as a name for the typical yorubas who never travelled out of South-west), we have travelled and seen other places and are marveled about what is going on over there.
I schooled in Oron, so i know how developed Uyo and environment is. Have been to Calabar and environment, been to many south-south states and south-east and i can categorically tell you, the south-wet is the most backward out of the 3 souths.
My brothers don't like hearing this. Some will call me omo-ale (a bastard) which is typical of them. I guess the truth hurts.
I do not say this to bring them down or denigrate them rather for us to sit-up and improve. There is no point living in self-denial.
Reason why i do tell them that Lagos/Tinubu/and other Lagos governors have all failed. They are serial failures.

You can't be generating this huge amount of money and your city still looks like a shit-hole.
If AKpabio can turn Akwa-ibom around in 8 years with the money he got which is not up to what Lagos is generating, tarred roads, built stadium, Standard hospital, now ibom-air yet lagos can float Lagos-air and many more and they think their governors are working, then something is wrong somewhere.
Tbh, i only have pity for them.

DIY
Step 1: create a folder for all ur 🔞 videos and make sure u know the path
Step 2: move all the video to the folder
Step 3: inside the folder, u need to perform a rename on all the video files u move inside diz folder..
Every video files comes with an extension of .mp4, .mkv, .avi, etc. so u need to add another extension after all this extension that will override this video formats
Make e no be like sey I dey tok grammar..
For instance, let's assume u have a video file named xxseunosewar.mp4, just perform a rename on the file and make it look like diz, xxseunosewar.mp4.seun, with that ur device won't recognize weda the file na video file again, and anytime wey u feel like watching ur level, u go there, remove the .seun after the .mp4 to unmask ur level...
Matter no pas like dat

Una dey craze for this nairaland.
So na true say na only bad bad things black man Sabi do and invent

Brainmytool:
It does not pay to watch porn but i will advise you to put all of them in a folder and rename that folder. But put a dot in front of the folder's name. And it will be hidden. Example below:

the folders name is pornny. Then put a dot in the name like this

.pornny

at it automatically hides itself.
STOP WATCHING PORN!

Omo.
Ori e foka sibe.
I tried it and it worked. That means I can start hiding my girlfriends sent nude pictures and videos there.

zomby:
Personally, I feel that it is an insult for anyone to attempt to compare Tinubu and peter Obi, it simply doesn’t make sense.

Let us forget Peter Obi for a moment…Now, look around you and point out a single leader from the yeast that has outperformed Tinubu in any capacity.

And I will ask again - between guardiola, Mourinho and juggen klop, who is the best coach?
Klop with little budget and unknown players won German league many times, got to champions league final twice or 3 compared to other two coaches with moneybags.
Comparing tinubu to other governors is a diservice to these governors because they never had the opportunities and money tinubu had.
If you are to compare the money tinubu saw to what he should have done with that money, then he is a total failure.
Believe me, success doesn't hide. If you work very well has a governor, invested in critical sectors and it is very very very visible, believe me you don't need thugs or bribing or rigging to win. Your works will speak for you and it will market you.
This is a natural human thing.
If you work well and beyond expectations, people will rally round you naturally and vote for you without using force.
Believe me

TheNiceGuy:
When did Lagos became the 5th largest?
Was it around 1999/2000?

Think before you post, no offense.

He met Lagos IGR at 600m but left it 5b when he left.
What he left behind as antecedents was what was built on by successive Governors which made Lagos the 5th largest economy today.


You OBIdient have a lot to learn

He left 5bn igr per month but left 100b plus debt.
Lagos is a failure compared to his mates infrastructurally.
Abi no be the same Lagos I know again? Wey many people still they carry baffs to go and buy tap water every morning, many shanty face me I slap you houses, open and dirty gutters, unplanned housings etc
I am Yoruba like you. Grew up in Shogunle and I know what I am seeing.
Lagos is a failure compared to his mates.
PSG will be failure compared to his mates like Real Madrid and Barcelona but is a champion in his farmer's league compared to Nice and Monaco

BigIyanga:
Let him tell his dad to get on the ballot and contest against Obi ….. make we confam

TheNiceGuy:
When you want to employ any worker, what do you ask, isn't it their experience? What they've done before?

Let's compare and contrast Obi's experience and antecedents with Ashiwaju's, who is ahead?

I don't know why you people like comparing apples to oranges.

Tinubu managed the 5th biggest economy in Africa and you are comparing that with Anambra.
With money tinubu saw in Lagos and what he did, he is a failure.

Let me ask you - if man city with the huge club budget didn't win premier league but among the top 4 for champions league qualification and Mourinho takes Aston villa to top 4 too, who do you think actually performed better?
Lagos can't be compared to any state in Nigeria. Lagos is in the league of Johannesburg, Tunis in Tunisia, Algeirs in Algeria etc but among it's peers, Lagos is a total failure

Massiveglory:
Anyone is free to say what they like but it does change the fact that tinubu will not be President.

When the chips are down, his likes of this will begin to scream oduduwa nation because his fraud will be taken down. This illegality will not stand
Tinubu will not be president of Nigeria.

We will rescue our nation from this fraud for the good of all.

The way una dey talk this thing with confidence sef say ''Tinubu will not rule Nigeria'' looks somehow.

I don't want the man too but i don't see how he will not rule. He has been declared winner.

Also, i believe Tinubu back-up plan is the use of Oduduwa republic incase the northerners betrays him because right now, the useless oduduwa rep. people have all gone silent and mum.
Useless people.

stanluiz:
All you people know is how to win election. Development is far from you people.

That's why you keep electing incompetent people into leadership position.

Tribe and religion na wetim full una head.

In a saner climes. Atiku and Tinubu will not even run for president. But this is Nigeria where everything goes.

And where did i even support Tinubu or Atiku? bros hope everything is ok?
I am not a fan of those thieves abeg. Carry your frustration go forward.

Who in his/her right senses will vote those two.

Dtruthspeaker:
The first problem is that you people do not real eyes and see that God is angry that you people want a king for yourself.

And He said it when you have a king He would walk out on you all and will not answer whenever you cry because of the injustice and oppression of your kings.

Thus, if any pastor had made a prophecy on this, it shows and proves he is prophet of someone else and not of God.

Lol.

I guess there is always an excuse for everything in Christianity

LordAdam16:
Wetin dey touch me na say I know dem.

The people wen dey drop lamba like that are not boys but men. Successful men with wives and children for house. Get better job or business, plus cars and landed properties.

They don't run their businesses and manage their careers this stup*dly. But wen e reach politics, dem go just mumu finish. Very perplexing.

And their rubbish dey affect everybody. You don vote Obi for 042, make Muslim-Muslim ticket win. Tomorrow when Northern Christians wen dem mislead start dey collect, na only Ndo go comot your mouth. That one na even for d one wen dey follow news.

Elections have consequences. This insecurity under APC reach SS. E get parts wen dey pay to go farm. That ewu dey call 6 million votes.

-Lord

I understand you and feel your pains bro.
I am not happy too with the outcome of the election too because they are setting down a bad foundation for the future of Nigeria.
What they are actually letting people know now is that the Christian voting block is actually inconsequential to become a president.
If they can do it and succeed now, then they can do it in future and a reference would be made to this election.
Going further, they won't be afraid of pegging a Muslim north/with a Yoruba Muslim VP and vice versal and they will tell you it will fly.

Kobojunkie:
It is times such as this that I wish it were possible to stretch my hand out to slap sense into the stewpid tin can wey some people dey carry say na head dem get.

LordAdam16:
It's as if idiocy is wired in your genes.

Who were the PDP VP candidates in 2019 and 2023? Are they not Igbo men.

Ekweremadu that is languishing in a UK cell was DSP for 3 consecutive Senate terms. Anyim was SP and SGF. Jonathan and Obasanjo did not marginalize Igbos.

Be patient, allow us to retake power and manage VP slot. Una dey form strong head. Na Amadioha go punish una.

You rejected Vice President-Elect for Presidential Candidate.

Tinubu that is President-Elect today, did he not beg for VP in 2015, before handing it to Osibanjo? Just to get to the center. I don't want to be diplomatic: You guys are F**LS! That's the obvious truth.

North will not share votes in 2027, 2031, and 2035. We'll see how you'd use 6 million votes to win Presidency. Anuofia!

Daft, greedy id*ts. You dey drag food wen never don. Oya chop 6 million votes for the next 16 years.

-Lord

Adam,you don vex oooo

pocohantas:
No one believes the aim of everyone is to get rich, but everyone knows Nigerians are first economic immigrants. I don’t know why they love to dance around this, then go ahead to start converting their earnings to Naira to feel better.

All this talk of lawlessness and corruption is your own postulation and it is definitely not in contest here.

Everyone knows Nigeria is lawless. My point remains, there is no milk and honey flowing in these countries and anyone going there should know that. Go there and enjoy light to charge your phone and be contented. Get ready to keep your certificate aside and hustle like you are in Yaba market. Don’t think you will be wiring back money home. Simple!!

Gboom:
You are still a small boy. The time will come that you will labour in prayer is still coming. It is better you start now before it's too late.
I had an experience, when I went for my NYSC, the first few days was full of nightmares, the day I joined Deeper Life, the nightmare automatically stopped. My own was even better compared to one guy that always shout during his sleep and people will gather around to sympathize with him until he started going to church before he regains his sanity.

Lol

Tbh, I am not really convinced with the points you people are giving as Christains.

Oscarhakx:
So you want bible to literally write rig for you?? Ok here's its what it means, since you have refuse to evolve.
to take some of what you want, without asking permission – used especially when offering food to someone

My brother. You sef they see am as they are struggling to defend their points

Oscarhakx:
and when you say heaven helps those who help themselves. Do u mean it was heaven that helped buhari & tinubu? And we are here blaming inec

No matter how Christains try to turn things logically, it always come to hunt them and they always look like fools at last

morinto:
The church I attended previously was heavily polluted by marine spirit which I was aware. So doing a night prayer a particular preacher was praying against priscipalities and power operating in the church and I was the one shouting the highest amen when the prayer was going on. Omo as I reach House and sleep then I just appear at the front door of my church seeing one of my church members which is also a big woman in the church attacking to kill me In my dream. This woman started pressing me and I can see my heart beat detorating as somebody that is given up his ghost and I shouted Jesus then my heart beat started beating very fast again and then she started repressing me and my heart beat started reducing the second time as a dying person and I reshouted Jesus and my heart started beating fast then when she wanted to try it the third time I over power her and was able to break the pressing bond and wake up around 11:55 PM. That thing happen within 5 minutes as I slept in my bed as if she dey wait for me to sleep. When next she saw me physically shame want to kill her but as for now we just dey mind our business but sometimes she enter my dream boasting that she would make me useless for life and told me that even though I know she is a marine agent I can't prove it to people around.

Mtcheeeeeeeeeeww

I even thought you have a reasonable and good explanation.

I don’t like religious people. I don’t know why.
Their thinking faculty is very very annoying

Fut9ure:
Tinubu will never be our president

South west got no reason to claim anymore that they are the most educated...this election open their yansh well.

The four major contestants were from the three major tribe
So it means we the South South are the one to choose the most suitable for Nigeria without biased
And we did. We choose obi but due to tribalism the South west refused and supported a man who is sick mentally and physically...national anthem was going on he wasn't Aware

If you can't handover your daughter or sister for Marriage to a sick old man with dementia not physically and mentally fit. Some one not aware of his environment but still you want to support same man to head 220 million Nigeria at this point of our critical situation then may you and your family know no peace


If you are emotionally attached to your tribe, religion and political leaning to the point that the truth and justice becomes secondary consideration then your education is useless, your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments. You are liability to man kind

Everyone should retweet and save this so that our future kids will know that at some point in the history of Nigeria we were caught in between the Devil( tinubu, atiku) and redemption( obi)
But the South west spoilt dragged us back because of tribalism

This Yorubas are the most educated, i don't even believe it.
Many Yorubas are illitrates, believe me.
Go into the hinterlands of Yoruba - Oyo, osun, ekiti, ondo and see people who are very far from civilization. I mean alot of educated illitrates.
I have travelled within nigeria and i can categorically tell you that it is very very very hard for you to see someone from SE or SS that can't express themselves in atleast pidgin english compared toSW. Many people in south west can't speak english or pidgin to non-Yorubas and their population is much. I am Yoruba and this is a bitter truth.

I have been to places like Oron, eket, Ikot-ekpene, Ozoro, remote areas in benin etc and old peopleand illitrates speaks atleast pidgin to me unlike my people.
