When Nigeria divide, everybody go stay for him papa house. For now, na foolishness to talk say make people no move from one place to another for the same country.

You go dey alright las last.

If that's the case.. we'll take half of those budgets because that is the right thing to do.

Who will bear the burden of millions of Igbos trooping into our region when Yorubas have not been fully catered for?

The South East governors keep looting while their people go about insulting leaders of other ethnic groups hosting them.

They carried their rubbish to Ghana one time like that and were insulting Ghanians, calling them lazy and all sort of unprintable names till the Ghanian government stepped in, locked all their shops and slammed heavy fine on each and every one of them. Then they started begging.

It's even the 'lazy' they love to call others that I don't like.. like are you mad? Na your papa dey feed me or I come your house come beg for food?

They are lucky other Nigerians are just peace loving if not their businesses would have folded up long long time ago.. you no go sha force me to patronize your business, carry am go sell for your tribesmen in biafra.

Ehh.. See levels o.
Truly, a man diligent in his work shall stand before kings and not before mean men.

More wins agba baller.

Ekiti signed 150 billion budget whereas Abia and Enugu both signed above 500 billion budgets.. yet still Igbos won't stay in their region, it's to be flocking into South West en masse they know, putting execess pressure on infrastructure and social amenities in Yorubaland.

Yoruba ronu.. our people better wisen up before we'll regret our stupidity we mistake for civility.

Look at this busy body.. when we advised you lots to think home and go home, y'all called us bigots.

Yorubas no send anybody papa again.. If you like don't go and invest in your region and develop it.. Na you and your children go suffer am later.

DAWN and other Yoruba developmental initiatives on the move.. hateful migrants can keep hating and keep poke nosing while we keep growing and keep building our region steadily to taste.

DaddyJapan:
The author of that article is a Yoruba man. Deal with it!

Prove that you an intelligent fellow by advancing arguments that contain a modicum of sense.

I have visited many places in Nigeria.. still more to cover tho., but let me tell.you the plain truth.. South West is still doing far better than most regions despite being in opposition in the First republic with no hold on power to influence development. Even at that, South West was rapidly progressing than most developed countries abroad today till Aguiyi Ironsi took over as Military Head of State and abolished Regionalism.. Then South West problem started and things began to go down, from bad to worse, all the revenues and profit from South West went directly to the centre to be shared among other regions.

If atal you are intelligent.. you'll know it's a case of robbing peter to pay paul at the detriment of the South West region. Most of the monies taken to the centre from Yorubaland can't be accounted for.. politicians and public servants are having a field day siphoning all our money but here you are castigating people who are literally helpless in the situation.

I can go on and on but I'll stop here.. Just travel and see if you won't wonder if you are in the same Nigeria.
Most of these ignorant writers base their judgement on Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja alone, neglecting the other 30+ States of the Federation.

DaddyJapan:
Why is that you find it difficult to address the article without going off on a tangent?

Did the writer tell lies?

Oga na story you wan tell... go to North and see things first hand.
What do you know about begging?.. where are the beggars in South West that you're making noise.

Let Igbos be deceiving you that they are all billionaires whereas to eat food na problem for majority among them.

That one sef dey.. in a relationship but no love.

I said it here just yesterday..

The Fulanis are setting themselves up for serious massacre with the level of attrocities their herders are committing all over the place..

All those ones living in the forests, claiming they can graze anywhere are all sara.. keep killing people thinking you are untouchable.

opamoses1:
Of course

Igbos won't remove the big log of wood in their eyes.. It's Yoruba matter they carry on their heads day and night.

Moses Oludele Idowu or whatever he calls himself (tho. we know the culprits behind the fake name) needs to visit Abia State and experience the zoo lifestyle their oppressors like Ikpeazu subject them to, both young and aged.
It's one wrap of either garri or Akpu with egusi soup and tiny peace of meat to buy their silence.. attimes they switch to 1 litre of Kerosene per head. How low can a society get? tell me.

Nuzo1:
When Abacha wife died, him wife collect.

When Yaradua died, him wife collect.

When Suntai Dambaba of Taraba died, him wife collect.

When Ajimobi died, him wife collected massively.

Now, Aketi is dead, massive preparations for his wife to collect megally.

For sure, these women took advantage of the system to go against certain laws. But it’s very clear that In Nigeria, you better die alongside your husband otherwise all his sins will be blamed on you.

Same people who were praising and encouraging the wife to hold forth for the husband and calling his deputy a traitor and betrayer are the ones calling the woman a bad woman now. So soon?

The Constitution of Nigeria is very clear.. when the Governor is away either on duty or sick leave and in unable to discharge his duties, the Deputy becomes the Acting Governor and takes over responsibilities of the Office of the Governor until the former returns and is fit to resume duty.

No law empowered Mrs. Akeredolu to hold forth for her husband or whatever trash it is you typed.. what they did then was abuse of public Office and should never be encouraged by any right thinking person.

aremubabs:
OK, I am not going to take sides.




But if she indeed said she does not believe in prayers, then I don't see how that is a problem.




Maybe she is just a practical woman. If she doesn't believe in prayers, then there is something she must believe in.





However, what I have observed about that woman is that she appears to be in charge while Akeredolu seemed reserved. I don't know whether Akeredolu enjoyed such a marriage.

All stories coming out of Ondo have pointed to the fact that Mrs. Betty was the husband and Governor while the late Akeredolu played wife role in their marriage..

It was the power she enjoyed as Governor of Ondo indirectly that made her wheel the man back to Nigeria to pose for the camera.. just so the State Assembly won't take power away from her.

I agree with you that she has right to not believe in prayers.. but atleast she should have allowed the poor man resign on time and go for medical treatment abroad, maybe he'd still be alive and recovering now.

Akeredolu was just like every other naive Yoruba men out there who pick Igbo wives thinking it's love at first sight.. It's when they get into marriage proper that their papa eyes dey clear.

I want the new governor to probe the Finances of Ondo State right from the time the late governor tenure started because this is not the second or third time Ondo indigenes have come out to accuse Madam Betty of pocketing the State resources and packing Ondo government properties to Imo State where she hails from, including School buses.. It is totally unacceptable for her to pack Ondo State wealth to go build Mecca in Imo State.

Your common sense didn't tell you that all Alakijas can't come from same family?

You hear Folorunsho Alakija and you're still doubting her Yoruba heritage.. you're a sorry case.

wiseoneking:
check well, the new governor may still have Igbo wife/S since they swear some people with marrying Igbo women.

Watch out for Aketes children in ten to fifteen years time as governors with probably Igbo wives from their mothers side. They are already half Yoruba- Igbo like Gbadevor of Lagos and osun state governor etc. Even tinubus son will soon become governor of Lagos with his wife whose maternal lineage is from Anambra. You cant escape that. Your children too may end in the same way as you will end up with grand children of Igbo decent. Is turn by turn. More is still loading.

We know it's you people's plan to be polluting Yoruba blood through inter-tribal marriage with the hope of taking over our ancestral lands through proxy using half-breeds like the one who doesn't think in Yoruba, but guess what.. your plans have failed.

Late Akeredolu married his Igbo wife years ago when Nigeria was still "united", not now when Igbos are no longer hiding their deep rooted hatred for Yorubas. One of your Igbo sisters wanted to poison her Yoruba husband over election just the other day.
Our people don wise up my guy.

There is no problem atal.. he has been sworn in and has full power as the Executive Governor of Ondo State.. It's now for him to pick a Deputy from his party APC obviously and send the person's name to the State assembly for confirmation after which the Chief Judge will swear-in the person. Lobatan.

Emeka Ike fell from grace to grass all because of a woman.. sora fun obinrin, dem think say na joke.

The government should consider State police and community policing systems to secure lives and properties.. It'll be very hard for killers to be moving around settlements with several security outfits on ground.. Federal Police can't do everything.
Perilous times are upon us and we must act now.

Soldier of fortune spotted.. give him one appointment now and watch him sing Asiwaju's praises with all his might. Attention seeker ranu.

top10villa:
seun will not ban you, cos thats what flows in your blood, tribalism.

It's self preservation.. don't confuse the two.
I am a realist.

Mjshexy:
So fast, did he know the governor was going to die that he had this all planned out few hours after the unfortunate demise of the governor

It's called housekeeping.. the new governor is very smart.
No room for lapses.

Ondo State jobs for Ondo people please.. Imolites should go back to Imo State.

Enough of the father Christmas with our jobs and employment opportunities in Yorubaland.

It's a shameful thing actually.. Igbos left their home region to other parts of the country in search of money, yet they don't appreciate Nigeria that gave them that free hand to move around..

It's always Igbos that take money home during Christmas celebration.. other tribes don't get to make money from Igboland due to the hostility and bigotry in most places in alaigbo, yet they insult other Nigerians at will.

I have said it here and will keep saying it that Igbos are the biggest beneficiary of "One Nigeria" and that was why Azikiwe fought Awolowo just to have secession clause removed from our constitution, still made the proclamation that "Nigeria's unity is non-negotiable".
If any Igbo tells you he/she wants biafra and you believe, then you be correct ozuor.. you no get sense.

This 'gbaju e' man should rest na.. must he pass comment?

Leukemia is blood cancer right?.. chances of survival is very slim especially for the aged.

I feel the late Akeredolu should have handed over power to his Deputy a long time ago and go follow his treatment fully abroad.. now the selfish folks that surrounded him will move on with their lives while the gentleman is gone for good. Such a pity.

It's risky.. get treated first before anything.

Most of these drinks are now being mixed and bottled in Aba.. from soft drinks to beer to wines to anything.

There is no day you'll turn on the TV and won't see like 5 cases of End-Stage Kidney Failure patients, mostly young Nigerians seeking help to go for Kidney transplant.
The kind of wickedness growing in this part of the world is unprecedented.

@Justiceleague1

Do I need to school you?.. Kwara is the State which is a Yoruba State because Yorubas are the majority there, then Ilorin is the Capital city filled with different ethnic groups including Fulanis, Tapas and migrants like Igbos.

Notwithstanding, Yorubas are still in control of Ilorin... the Emir of Ilorin is pure Yoruba man (muslim), so I really don't know where the lies you folks spread on here originated from.

Life is vanity.. It takes a sound mind to understand that short sentence.

Wishing you best of luck Mr. Governor..

Please work for Ondo people, don't behave like other politicians that steal and loot anything and everything they lay hands on as if they will take a kobo with them when they die.
