omololu2020: God will never forgive me if I choose Atiku(PDP) ahead of APC(buhari).
A party that wa in power for good 16 years yet they could not point at any achievement, I prefer APC continuing than voting PDP.
But I don't understand the people that want PDP back in power a party that couldn't fix our roads,fix power supply,made boko haram powerful, couldn't stop the Fulani herdsmen from killing people etc yet they want them back in power.
They simply want the atikulation of fraud to continue.
The APC and PDP government are both failures, in a sane society the APC government will lose the next year presidential election, they won't even have to 1 million vote.
APC and PDP politicians deserved to be killed.
Sure! Concur but na APC I go choose ooo. Sai Buhari!
SarkinYarki: My friend Azura was 100 percent initiated and paid for by the Jonathan govt in 2014 and was completed on Jonathan's schedule of 2018 ... Are you aware the Jonathan govt initiated and built 3 times more power plant than all other previous govts combined while Buhari has built Zero since 1983 when he first entered power till date!!!!
Bhahahaha! Completed and uncompleted na same thing? Bhahahaha! lie lie.
It is because you want Buhari to continue on power and thereafter hand over to SW that is why you blindly support a man who has impoverished this nation and shed innocent blood of middle beltans and easterners.
But know ye, that this table you people are standing and allowing Nigerians die out of poverty and insecurity just for your own selfish interests will come back to haunt you.
Restructuring is very possible. GEJ took bold steps in convening a national conference and obtaining contributions from every tribe delegate and professionals.
It was a PDP government who initiated it.
It will be a PDP government who will implement it.
Wait until campaigns start in November.
Afenifere leaders have already stated they'll support whoever is agitating for restructuring in case you're still living in denial that no South westerners will support Atiku.
Anu
After 16 years of rule, they did nothing about restructuring. Why?
Do not be deceived, Atiku will do nothing about restructuring neither will Buhari do it but we believe his successor will do it hence the need to wait for another 4 years. Think.
resurgent4oodua: You have spoken well leo but how long will Nigeria last with the present structure? From my perspective, I don't think Nigeria can last another 20 years with this present structure. Something will give and that is very soon.
#istandwithbuharitill2023
But not under Atikulootingnology party. Sai Buhari!
Mrblaster: Sorry which school did you attend please because I'm very confused here. Otedola and Alakija from Lagos are now from ijebu and besides those you listed above, only adenuga have his money in dollars(billions) others are in millions and they don't even live in ijebu. Please don't quite me again abeg. I can stand your mediocrity.
We are talking about Ijebu here not Lagos or Ogun state. Understand debate and stop deviating.
Well, Oba Otudeko is worth $750m as at 2017. Ogunlesi, hmmm!
Bane2020: Let's first start with how the Ijebus bent over to the predominantly Hausa infantry in just a matter of weeks.. Bring it on mate, I'm ready for some historical lessons
How many days did it take Benin and Sokoto/Kano kingdoms bend over?
Hausa infantry trained by the British is different from Hausa infantry trained by Hausa. Do you understand?
prolog2: It seems you yoruba are really daft. Oba Nogbaisi Ovonramwen is a hero. While he was fighting a war against the british your yoruba chiefs were bowing down to the brits without giving a fight. The title "Oba", Oba Nogbaisi was the only person who had that title when the brits arrived. It is the Edo title for the King of Benin Kingdom. Your cowardly chiefs all copied it late in the colonial era. Also, the sultan of sokoto and the emir of kano suffered the same fate as the Oba of Benin. Because they also had the balls to fight against the brits, unlike the so called yoruba chiefs.
OBAGADAFFI: The British-Ijebu war of 1892 (The battle of Imagbon)
In 1891, the Ijebu tribe, dwelling between 50 and 60 miles north-east of Lagos on the Magbon river, set a blockade on the trade route from the interior into Lagos, which was a crown colony, and charged customs dues which served as their income. The Awujale, the traditional ruler of Ijebu, closed down the Ejirin market, cutting off Lagos from a source of up-country trade.
The British government persuaded the Awujale several times to open the blockaded route but the Ijebu ruler remained adamant. However, in May 1891, a British acting governor, Captain C.M Denton C.M.G, together with some Hausa troops (mostly slaves who fled the North to South and were recruited by the British army) went to Ijebu kingdom to make an agreement with the Awujale on opening the blockaded route and allowing the free passage of goods into Lagos. The Awujale refused but after much persuasion and pressure, the Awujale agreed in January 1892 on the terms of receiving £500 annually as compensation for the loss of custom revenue.
However, the agreement didn’t last long. A white missionary was denied access to pass through the kingdom and was sent back. The British government were provoked by the action of the Ijebus and authorized the use of force on the kingdom. Britain gathered troops from Gold Coast (Ghana), Sierra Leone, Ibadan, and Lagos (the Hausa troops nearly 150).
Battle of imagbon
Colonel F.C. Scott C.B was the commander of the troops of 450 men piled up by Britain. On the 12th of May, 1892, the captain and his men, including some carriers, sailed up the Lagos Lagoon and landed at Ekpe. When they got to Leckie, another carriers about 186 in numbers were recruited. On the Ijebu side, 8000 men with old rifles would be fighting the British. The British underestimated the fighting prowess of the Ijebus thus giving them some hard times in penetrating into the interiors of Ijebu kingdom. The first day, the British army razed down four villages with some of their men sustaining fatal injuries. The next day, they proceeded to Atumba and gunned down the Ijebus with machine guns. Britain lost 12 men which include a Briton and 12 Africans. Every Ijebu villages they came across was burnt to the ground. The Ijebus were really losing the battle but determined to prevent the British army from crossing the Yemoyi river. The goddess of the Yemoyi river was said to have taken human sacrifice in order to prevent the intruders (British) from crossing. The river was dug deeper by the Ijebus to make it impenetrable by all means for the British army. However, the British army managed to cross the sacred Yemoyi river and unleashed havoc on the Ijebus. They proceeded to the village of Imagbon.
The Ijebus had lost over 900 men while Britain lost only 56 men and have more than 30 wounded. The Ijebus were still determined to fight on but shortly afterwards, the Awujale surrendered and admitted losing the war.
The British union flag was later raised above Ijebu Ode. Captain Scot warned his men against pillaging which some didn’t heed to especially the Ibadan irregulars who were later deprived of their arms. The toll gates in Oru built by the Ijebus were destroyed and some of their shrines were also torched.
This bloody war is also known in history as the 1892 Ijebu Expedition.
The British troops were awarded The East & West Africa Medal with Clasp dated ‘1892’. Today, one of these medals can be found in Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. Ijebu kingdom was later annexed to the colony of southern Nigeria.
Mrblaster: Who imposed the newly elected governor of osun if not tinubu and Aregbe and why did they rig the election at all cost. The answer is simply to continue ruling osun by proxy.
Richdad50: The South West is sitting on a gun powder that might explodes in months to come. When a group of people or region is driven by an agenda coming from one man or family, there is bound to be dissent with time. I have read and studied extensively on Kings, Rules, and Leadership for years and i have come to discover that when leaders, Kings or people in position stop listening, they start the beginning of their end. Tinubu may well be one of the finest politicians to ever come from the west but he may end as the last of them all. Never will the people give one man a stretch of power from the shores of Lagos to the thick forest of Ondo. See! Nigeria Leaders are dysfunctional, unpatriotic, and belligerent to nation building. It will be foolhardy to think that our rescue lies in the hands of these 'tested and failed men'. I have long lost hope and dream on a better nation through the present norm unless something drastic happens. However, i believe in you and i to keep oiling our courage and faith for the future. That one day we will wake to a better future for our children. NB: Please these thoughts are not for the 'like' hunters, irrational, and junk hearted folks who have further sold their illogical minds for a few unseen and intangible approval
