Truckpusher: What isn't crazy about a fellow that knew that he has an infectious disease but decided to board a commercial airline?lol, Its wrong coming from the President, its a sign of anxiety. |
crusader01: President Goodluck Jonathan on MondayWhy is he using the word "crazy". |
Lenzz: Lol. Like Dave pointed out, your moniker is a contradition to your comment above. PiperAlpha was an offshore platform in Aberdeen Scotland where d worst oil rig disaster in history occurred, I think sometime in d fall of '89. I recall researching on it during oil pollution nd control class in my futo days. |
drchingy: U still here talking trash.Best comment so far, most guys shouting Russia here cant stay in Russia for one year, practicing their so call "Free speech". Will SNOWDEN be alive today if he is a Russian dissenter. |
Is Chino now claiming to be a Security personnel? i wonder why he is busy calling people "bloody civilians" |
They are Militants, according to LAI MOHAMMED the same guy were deployed in EKITI. |
@OP DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD "JEW" Do you know the history of the JEWs. |
This is the reason for the declaration of war in the South West. If our security forces showed the same level of preparedness and seriousness in the States ravaged by terrorism Nigerians would have felt extremely secured. Fellow Nigerians, as you read this, the battle for which political party controls the State of Osun, in South West Nigeria, should be reaching a crescendo. The PDP and APC are locked in a duel of monumental proportions. Anything, and everything, possible and available has been thrown into what has become a war more than a mere election. Sadly, this is how we now do it in our neck of the woods. The Party responsible for letting us degenerate into such moral abyss is none less than the rampaging PDP which sees as its goal the vision of Nigeria as a one Party State. Rewards from electoral victories are often stupendously heavy. Now, under the PDP, it has become even more so. While it may be easier to win elections in other parts of our nation, Yorubaland has always been a battleground for political gladiators. This is because the average Yoruba electorate is perceptive, knowledgeable, conscientious and equally critical and demanding. I will come back shortly to the reason why this zone has become all too important to our new breed politicians. This fight didn’t start yesterday. It began decades ago, or even centuries. You only need to read the history of the Yoruba race to see how tough it is for any individual to Lord it over them. The people are highly territorial and would normally fight to protect their provinces. They also believe in development and emancipation. Hence, there have been too many wars fought, including Kiriji, Ekiti Parapo, Ibadan/Egba, and many heroes and heroines have emerged as various Yoruba communities struggled for self-determination. They include several Aare Ona Kakanfos’ from Oyo, Ogedengbe of Ijesaland, Ogunmola and Efunsetan Aniwura of Ibadanland, Sodeke and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti of Egbaland, and many others. The Yoruba respect men and women of valour and accord them the highest esteem. They received education quite early and understood the meaning of human rights, fairness and justice. This consciousness has made them somewhat difficult to govern because they believe that they have a right to be governed properly whereas a lot of politicians do not care about governance but are concerned only about their selfish interests and self preservation. Not even the Yoruba kings are allowed to trample on their subjects. In the famous Oyo Kingdom, a semblance of democracy as we know it today has been practised since time immemorial. The Oyo Mesi in Council in their role as Kingmakers not only appointed the Alaafin, who was a truly paramount and maximum ruler, they also held the King in check in their primary role akin to Senators in dual Parliamentary system. The Ogboni, headed by the Oluwo, further acted as a check on the excesses of the Oyo Mesi almost as a lower house of Parliament does in modern times based on their composition and functions. In most, if not all, of Yoruba kingdoms, Kingship is rotated amongst the ruling houses. And there are always conditions to be met. Even if the collapse of education plus the incursion of stomach infrastructure are beginning to affect the Yoruba adversely, they still possess a substantial degree of self-respect and self-worth. That is why the phrase Talika Alagidi refers to a stubborn poor fellow. He’s ready to duel with the rich man if he feels insulted. The Yoruba sometimes suffer from mood-swings. They can hail you today and disgrace you tomorrow if they feel you’re playing God and feeling too cool with yourself. They have subtle ways of rejecting and resisting oppression. Pele o Baba Olowo is a satirical way of telling the big man to take things easy. Oba Mewa, Igba Mewa suggests that power is transient and it is turn by turn. In recent memory, the Yoruba have been involved in leadership tussles. The most significant being the tussle between Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Chief Ladoke Akintola. Such a tussle has been lately re-enacted between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and former President Olusegun Obasanjo but it never reached the epic proportions of the 1960s because the calibre and depth of the gladiators and juggernauts of those times is not matched by that of the present day protagonists. Indeed, whereas the Awolowo/Akintola duel was to the death, by a quirk of fate, Tinubu and Obasanjo have suddenly found themselves on the same side of the political divide, sharing the same aspiration of taking the Yoruba back to their vaunted position of leadership in the development, morality and ethos of the Nigerian polity...... http://ynaija.com/site/dele-momodu-why-todays-election-is-a-battle-for-the-soul-of-yorubaland/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=dele-momodu-why-todays-election-is-a-battle-for-the-soul-of-yorubaland |
elobyobi: Yorubas are poor managers , simple. Mtn nigeria is managed by an igbo person and u can see the difference.LOL, you dont even know the owners of MTN. |
Russia is already experiencing rising inflation. |
Most People supporting Russians can't live in Russia for one year, cos they will be in Putin jailbreak by now. Snowden should be lucky he is an American, and can get fait Judgement. If Snowden is a Russian, he will be dead as am typing. Russians don't pity snitches, they hunt and kill them any where in the world. |
austinebode: . It' not about "reasoning low" but knowing christ. As a christian I don't have any issues wt what the idol woshipper (the said culture) does, provided it' does affetct movement. It' only in Africa we don't think about other. May God help us.Do the Indians and chinese think about your God? Learning to tolorate other people religion/culture, is a Christian virtue. |
fake news from chikeroonline posted on NL for chike to comment. ![]() |
Lol, see attacks on the op for airing his opinion, but when it come form other tribes/region they will be shouting Alimajeri rusty roofs. |
ITbomb: This is the most ridiculous junk coming out of America. They all imagine Nigeria as some small part of Africa that Boko Haram and Niger Delta live side by side.Coming from Nigeria who never admitted their girls were kidnaped, you think the whole world thinks like sentimental Nigerians? |
Try see a doctor. |
Waiting for the usual people to attack the messengers. |
prophetone: prophetone: In the past months a lot of negative news has come out of the great federation that is Arewa. The incessant bombings and general insecurity that's has pervaded the Nation and Northern Nigeria in particular has left us searching and praying for a solution in view of the lacuna in leadership that has left us to search within for a way out.If you think this is a good news.... you must be high on ALOMO BITTERS. This is not a blessing or any good thing. Even Politicians/ bussines men from the developed counties would not display such waste without been criticized. The good new we want from the North are. Good home. Better security Affordable and quality education better healthcare. |
thewarrior72: Where are the yeruba internet warlords, have they gone into hiding as usual?, but will be quick to dabbled into matters of others with their venomous-like vitriol....The tread is not worth debating. |
chifreke: it is not strange....two weeks ago i beat my 6yrs old daughter for misbehaving...after few minutes i sent her to get water for me....i noticed cough in the water...i asked her...she bluntly told me she spit into my waterlol, after the bolded you still have the got to pray for her? Beating am emotionally challenged child, create hate for her parent. |
iyatrustee: Big brother even in the holy land?SERIOUSLY. |
obayaya: The Army is Supplying boko Haram with arms to kill soldiers?lol, how do you know a sympathiser. |
chinziaski: I think our parents are giving birth to more stupid children than we had those days. If you were born from 1965 upwards, please shut up! You don't know anything about fighting your neighbour, you sing typing rubbish! If we start fighting wars now, who will be your target? Igbo against yoruba? Yoruba against hausa? Hausa against igbo, fulani against nupe? Ijaw against itsekiri? Kids of nowadays are so stu.pid and they just don't know what war is all about. My dad had to carry us, running from one local government to the other. Running in the bush, killing different kinds of wild animals. You think you fought cult fights, secondary school ode fights, street fights, etc and you think you can fight war? Talk to a soldier in maiduguri anyhow and see if he won't release bullets in your body, stu.pid kids. You have your smelling fathers that cheated you, input hate in your minds. Few men putting hates in your hearts and you come here forming loyalist to your tribe. I swear, th.under should just strike some these kids here, Id.iots. Do you know how many family members were lost? War begets more hatred because in war, there is no victory, only varying degree of defeats! All of you should just get out and sleep. Ode! Warrior ko! Hulk hogan ni! |
EasternLeopard: Thank youAbuja has being bombed several times yet people are still going there to share our money and politician are still smiling. You probably have another definition of war. |
chulla12: I am convinced that CIA/MI6 agents are planting seeds of discord in this forum.When last did seceding or national dissolution happen peacefully. The US fought their civil war and still lived together. |
shymexx: Bruv, that's a real right war. And I'm sure more than 100,000 people have been killed since it started.What we are facing is Islamist insurgency e.g Maitatsine and BOKO-HARAM. Remember the Niger-delta was once a boiling pot. The situation can only become a real war "IF" everybody decides to take-up arms against each other just like RUWANDA. |
leo1234: What did we achieve from the previous civil war?NO mind them, dem still dey get MTN, GLO AND ETISALAT signals. Make i see who go fit make call if war start. Some countries have been fighting for decades and war has not corrected their injustice e.e Somalia and Sudan. |
shymexx: It's either most of you are feigning ignorance, or Nigerians are just generally selfish, and insensitive to other people's plight.Bros, whats going on now is not actually the real war. I remember Ikeja Cantonment bomb blast and how 1000 people died in a day, if that event(Ikeja Cantonment bomb blast) continue for just one month, imaging what will happen. Nigeria is not in real war situation yet, surprisingly people are still doing business and going to parties in the BOILING NORTH. When war start everything stops for survival. |
