pazienza:
Alaba is of Austrian origin, not Nigerian.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Alaba

Maybe when Yorubas achieve Arewa-Oduanistan, Alaba could be said to be of Arewa-Oduanista origin, seeing as he has Yoruba father and Filipino mother.

DikeOha882:
Which tide is changing? Is there a footballer of nigerian origin who has achieved half what Mikel has? Igbos still holds the mantle till tomorrow

donphilopus:
Like I earlier said, shut up! You ain't normal at all. Is it possible for a Northerner to be made the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs? If NO, why do you think Northerners would be happy if a Southerner is made the FCT Minister?

Aareonakakanfo:

On a more serious note, which of this current crop of Yoruba leaders do you think has what it takes to replicate Awo's achievements.

Aareonakakanfo:
I'm really dissapointed though.I was expecting to see a lot of people comment.I know they will come later to give excuses


We have those who are also showing up after the match .

Shymm3x:
Apart from the idea of overhead bridges and flyovers - how about tunnels?

laudate:
Gbam! Gbam!! You talk am well! Even those living along the Lekki-Ajah expressway experience the same problem. If you live in Sangotedo or Awoyaya or Badore, and you are not on the road by 5a.m, you cannot get to Victoria Island by 8a.m. Am not kidding.

The traffic at Ajah roundabout would short-circuit your system if you are not careful. The design for that expressway, failed to factor in overhead bridges or flyovers, that would have enhanced movement on that road. So each of the roundabouts on that road, have become 'circles of commotion', and 'traffic generators' for commuters.

Musiwa419:
You see, thats one of the reasons why i dont applaud some of the policy/projects of ACN/APC in Lagos state. I have nothing against the Eko Atlantic Project but i feel the timing is wrong. Do we need such a gargantuan project now? Insted of building skyscrappers in the middle of the sea why dont we construct a 4th Mainland Bridge which would link Lagos Island to Ikorodu thereby reducing the traffic congestion in greater Lagos considerably. I am of the opinion that the funds pumped into the Eko Atlantic Project thus far should have been used for the construction of a 4th Mainland Bridge

Aareonakakanfo:
Lol i sent it to them twice and still they didn't unban me.I don't even think they read the mails

Aareonakakanfo:
@forgiveness Lol i don't want to risk replying you in Yoruba again.I've failed thrice with my account getting banned. But anyways hopefully if this account doesn't get banned today again, i will mention you for the Yoruba hour

@Orlandoowoh the same thing.I responded to you in Yoruba and got banned but i agree with you though on those names you mentioned.The reason why we didn't profile them is because we decided to cut it down a little bit and talk more about development.If you have their biographies, you can post them here

This is why I love the new PDP. United in diversity. That's what you call a movement.

kannymoore:
how many goals and assists did Simon have compared to Rabiu Ibrahim in Trencin?

totit:
Baga iropo .., first picture

Below ogun state real estate

Aareonakakanfo:
Hahaha back to English



All of you who ran away,clap for yourselves Ilekehd especially

kannymoore:
i know.

I highlighted Trencin cos he singlehandedly won the league for that team.
He came down to Ghent in the winter and won the league for them too.

I deliberately didn't put Ghent cos he's been used far less frequently as he ought to this season cos of fitNess issues and people who are conversant with his present predicament might want to pick holes in my argument.

kannymoore:
And the bullshit league Emenike plays in nko?

David Villa, kaka, Therry Henry et al have all graced the MLS @ some point in their careers too.

Had any of them beaten Obafemi's goal scoring record in the MLS?

Abeg, Martin deserves that invite more than an Emenike and 80% of Naija strikers right now!

Asides Moses Simon (for trencin) and maybe Ighalo, there's no other there's no other Nigerian player that has carried his team to success the way Martin does for Seattle Sounders.
He has radically evolved from being a speedy goalpoacher to a "playing-making striker".
His dribbling ability, close ball control and passing has tremendously improved by far!

I commend Oliseh for this brave decision.

aljharem:
Na I think he has retrace back his steps. We are all one people

Datazone:
What proof do you have that they are Yorubas? Do not just come online to distort history just because they speak a language similar to Yoruba doesn't make us a Yoruba. Yes! We have ties with the Yoruba likewise the Binis so keep calm bro... Compare the Itsekiri dressing, Yoruba dressing and Edo (Bini) dressing, you will see our dressing is similar to that of the Binis.

aljharem:
Don't mind the bBOY. I just recently called him out to correct some notions. He even went further to say Ilaje is not yoruba as well or better still "Ilajes don't claim yoruba" That got me mad ! He exhibited a typical igboman trait on Nairaland and I had to stop him.

I also want me and him to meet in Warri so he can show me the Ilajes he met that are claiming they are not yorubas.

Goodboiyy:
belzabull , fr3do, cheruv, forgiveness, ..
Hope you now know who is Dying so hard to have our Land and Resources... I won't Keep quiet why My Elder(Ayomike) is been insulted by your Igbo People, We have made our Intention known, I dare any itsekiri to say otherwise, We don't want Biafra, Tell your people that.. The names above are not in any way Related to Itsekiri, I don't know why they Still shy away from the truth. after reading this I now know what they want.

This is an insult me and my People

Cc: Datazone, Setaje, scholes0 , wirinet.. See me see wahala oo.. See the way Igbo they claim itsekiri.. they even have to mind to insult Ayomike

OBAFEMIawolowo:
There's no zoo in Lagos.

Loins live in pride ( even the normadic lion moves around prides)

What am I trying to say?

This story is a lie unless someone in neighbourhood is keeping a lion pet.

Goodboiyy:
yea the person you mention his trying to build a Strong relationship b/w itsekiri and Yoruba.. She was in the last Odua meeting in Ibadan or so

forgiveness:
@Goodboiyy

I have always respected that but what do you say about the article below. No be me write am oooo.

Yoruba Assembly tells Jonathan 0
BY OUR REPORTER ON MARCH 20, 2015 POLITICS
From OLUSEYE OJO, Ibadan

Yoruba leaders led by former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Alani Akinrinade (retd), yesterday, told President Godoluck Jonathan that Yoruba people would not accept an Interim National Government (ING), Government of National Unity (GNU) or any other form of unelected government.

They demanded that this year’s general elections must hold as re-scheduled on March 28 and April 11, insisting also that the exercise must be free, fair, credible, and transparent.

Yoruba leaders made the call at the Yoruba Assembly entitled: “Yoruba People: Our Aspirations and Minimum Demands from the Central Government of Nigeria”, which was convened by Akinrinade at Ibadan.

A communique issued at the end of the conference reads in part: “Yoruba people hereby state categorically that the general elections scheduled to commence on Saturday, March 28, 2015 must not be postponed or jeopardised. Yoruba people will not countenance any form of unelected government, be it Government of National Unity, Interim National Government or howsoever described.”

The leaders warned that the over 50 million population of Yoruba people would not hesitate to take their destiny in their own hands in the event of any attempt to compromise their democratic existence.

The summit was attended by leaders of Yoruba nation, current and past governors of Yoruba States, traditional rulers and their representatives, officials of various civic and professional agencies of Yoruba extraction at home and in the diaspora.

They include vice presidential candidate of the All Pprogressives Congress (APC), Prof Yemi Osinbajo; governors Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State and Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State; former governors of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and Otunba Niyi Adebayo; a prominent Itsekiri leader in Delta State, Chief Rita Lori-Ogbebor; former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; and former military governor of Mid-Western State, Gen Samuel Ogbemudia (retd).

The Yoruba Assembly also frowned on the protest staged by thousands of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) members and the Coalition of Concerned Nigerians loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday in Lagos against the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega..

I was in Church(i am a bad boy but i go to church atimes. Na God go forgive me ) few sundays ago. The pastor told us to pray for the unity of Nigeria, that Nigeria should not break up. If you see the eye wey i take look the pastor ontop pulpit. My prayer was the opposite. I asked God to break Nigeria up as soon as possible.
