Is the bridge a necessity
Or just another white elephant project

TheKingIsHere:
Since the traditional rulers are just figure heads, why are the decendants of Afonja looking for ways to recover the throne from the fulanis?

Are you this dull

It's all about pride/bragging rights!

TheKingIsHere:
I don't have time to argue with you.

All I can say is AFONJA 2.0 is loading in iwo.

Stop taking panadol for another man's headache.

This is a no issue. Traditional rulers are figureheads.

The emir of Ilorin is not as powerful as Saraki or the governor. And already been Yorubanised.

TheKingIsHere:
It seems that you don't know how the fulanis operate.

Very soon, the oba /emir of iwo will marry a Fulani claiming to strengthen the bond between them and their northern masters.

From there, his own son will marry another Fulani, thereby suppressing the Yoruba gene and boosting that of the Fulani till the Yoruba gene is totally cleansed and that of the Fulani become dominant.

This will take several years but it will eventually happen but as usual, yorubas will not listen.

Who told you his son automatically becomes the next Oba

Nice!

Segmat1:
Ask me,how Fulani will not take advantage of this foolish people,this is how it was happened in Ilorin and up till today the mistake has not yet been corrected.

As for the king himself,when a small boy attain a position where he doesn't expect himself to be,how do you expect him to behave.Yoruba adages says'Omo ai je obe ri to japo saya.

This is different from Ilorin. How?
The Oba is not vacating his throne for a Fulani man from wherever to come and be emir. He is still a Yoruba man albeit a looonatic.

His successor will not follow his footsteps.

TheKingIsHere:
So you don't mind loosing all your towns(no matter how inconsequential) to the caliphate?

What are you saying

Has the Oba become a Fulani man just because he attempted to use the emir title?

Does the Oba have any political power in his domain?

When he exits the throne, will his successor follow his footsteps?

Can't you guys be less emotional and more realistic for once

Land Rover is the parent company,Range Rover is the sister company,more or else another product from Land rover autojosh am I right?

Thanks for the explanation. Actually, there are some vehicles with LAND ROVER branded on them. But we still call all of them Range Rover...

What of Land Rover?

01Alpha:
The Oba will just end up dividing the yurobas along religious line... This is the last thing that would happen both in the east and north.. imagine Obi Onisha saying he should be address as Emir of Onisha or Emir Sunusi of Kano saying he should be address as Oba of kano. Mhen this is inferiority complex in high voltage.


After becoming an Emir, what would happen to the Oba tittle!!! Walahi this is a game plan for a bigger picture. I feel for the stakeholders of yuroba land.

Look, Iwo is an inconsequential town.

If Yorubaland could move on after the Ilorin debacle, Iwo is nothing.

dafeyankee:
Confused Town.
Confused Oba.
Confused People.

Just imagine this idiot trying to force the whole Iwo town to be Muslims.

Exactly!
Whereas the stool is a traditional stool.

Pojomojo:
Girl! I am clapping!!!!! You better let them know what is the truth. I know you were not talking to me but I have been thinking the same things for years now. How can you be a doctor in Nigeria then come to the US and bag groceries because you have to go back to school to become a doctor here? There's just so much that Africans have going for themselves but they just don't see it or know it. I guess if you could get rid of the corrupt governing officials and bring back all of the well studied from abroad Nigeria could be the real life Wakanda....IJS
American is not a country it is a SYSTEM. You live to work in American.

Our people will NEVER learn.

They just believe being abroad equals being successful and better than those back here.

Too bad!

Attention seeking stunt.

That's why it's on FrontPage.

Nairaland has made so many nonentities popular.

Tracypacy posting=66754197:
SAYS WHO?!

Go to YouTube and search for 'Message for Nigerians coming to the USA' by DJ City.

And many other evidence abound.

Cooly100:
Shivering like vulture already...

What do you mean the governors couldn't develop the state? Which state in your SW is more developed then the ones in SE except Lagos?

Why is Igbo president your greatest problem? If you can bear Fulani president, Yoruba president and and an Ijaw president, why can't you bear an Igbo president? How did Obasanjo develop Sw states when they gave Yorubas the president?

Shattap!

Ogun and Oyo are more developed than anywhere in state in the south east.

...

igbodefender:
So Igbos should just fold their hands and let their slot be filled by another region that has already done their own turn.

No! When the Presidency returns to the South in 2023, it's going to be Igbo Presidency.

Be a man. Face a Yoruba man at the primaries/polls.
Or forever remain a slavish coward.
Nobody will dash you the presidency!

Tracypacy:
This is a time in Nigeria when people who earn 600k in this country are so eager to migrate. It's really hard to be hopeful. Every random professional now on their way to Canada and then US is organizing free tuition up to Ph.D level for our University first class students. Our young doctors are flying out in numbers and even the ones in medical schools are being locked out because of N100k.

I once held the theory that if you earn 250k, you don't need abroad. Just save for summer vacation. But I have seen prospects for the banking industry, abandon everything to go to US. I am alarmed. Come & see the calibre of Nigerians arriving here. I can even understand folks moving to Toronto or Vancouver small sef. But someone making more than 500k/month in Lagos/Abuja will move to Saskatoon or some no-name village in d Canadian prairies! Saskatoon is roughly like Omu Aran in Kwara-State, Nigeria!


Last year, I tried to discourage someone whose monthly salary was dangerously close to N1 million from moving. When he made his case, I kukuma encouraged & helped him move. A few months after he arrived here, his entire section of the company was laid off - just like that! Whenever I contemplate moving back home, my family & village people will say: "ha, the enemies have finally had us where they want us! Imagine Prof saying he is coming back to Nigeria!" Then everybody will run to Pastors to counter the efforts of the enemy over me. Those whose parents have sponsored abroad for studies and not been encouraged to come back home and use their skills here. We may be in the process of losing a whole generation of Nigeria’s Best and brightest.


I encourage emigration. For their children's sake. Until we/our govt are ready to address basics like Public School Education Reforms. People can buy generators/provide their own boreholes/Security/Build their roads...but Education? How many can afford overpriced Private-schools. The real danger now is that a whole generation of skilled workers are leaving and govt is not reforming Education to fill the gaps...so double jeopardy. Why each region must prioritize Education/Human Capital Development

I will NEVER leave my job for abroad except I have a far better offer waiting for me over there.

Any Nigerian earning in 6 digits who leaves for abroad to start all over again has lost it. A life of regret awaits him/her.

OAUTemitayo:
Ori yin ti Ku sa.

Russia made a threat and true to it, America avoided Russian positions within Syrian military sites.

Arindin!

Trump NEVER said he will attack Russian positions.

How many times will I reiterate this fact

So ma graduate bayi sha

OAUTemitayo:
Bro, sense fall on you with due respect.
If you don't understand what a "reported speech" is, maybe we need to verify your academic credentials.
Nkan se yin ni?

Olodo ni e!

Trump NEVER said he will strike Russian targets in Syria.

He NEVER did!

Russia said they would attack U.S. launch sites should the U.S. carry out a missile attack.

They NEVER did!

So what is your rationale for daring Trump in the first instance

I think you need to leave Nairaland and face your studies even more for your own good.

Angelawhite:
Afonjas will fold their hands and watch their people slaughtered by their Fulani masters. Eye service is in their DNA

Highly imbecilic comment.

OAUTemitayo:
Oversabi graduate where and when did I say Trump would do that?

Russia said *if*

So why were you now expecting Trump to strike Russian personnel in Syria

How many logic courses have you taken so far?

OAUTemitayo:
Go back to school.
Russia said they will attract the sites if Russian military personnel are attacked.
And America didn't launch a single missile at Tartus area or Hmmein Airbase region because they know the repercussion.
Done with you brainwashed dudes.

Where and when did Trump ever say he was targeting Russian personnel for chrissake

Oversabi undergrad!

OAUTemitayo:
Simple comprehension is what you lack.
13 missiles were shot down in a single district of Damascus alone.
Do you know the number of missiles shot down in other part of Syria and even those diverted?

You people overestimate this West sef and we see how they have been able to defeat terrorists in Libya and Afghanistan

Russia said they will attack the sites from which the US launch the missiles.

Why haven't they done that?

Why are some people blaming America foolishly?

Was it America that instigated the Arab spring?

Was it America that started killing innocent Syria protesters who wanted a change of government?
