This is stupid. No single person represents the Yoruba race.
It is a very diverse rase.
Awo was a politician who happened to be Yoruba.
No body can represent Awo for the Yoruba race.
Why would Yoruba need an Awo?

This thread is just silly and dumb.

Who represents your father for your family today?
Who represents you for your formal school?

You talk too much. Do you have to say the last sentence.

You are equally guilty of the same ignorance. The hausa that was written was not insulting, neither was the Igbo written by the others.

Which one is 'playing they are victimizing card' story all about?

Cut the crap joor.

Allow folks who understand both languages to complain before you that dont understand any

I agree with you she talks too much, baselessly for most of the time
She has an opinion on everything

I bet you, she is never going to get married
If she mistakenly gets married, the marriage is never going to last

of course, except if she changes this her ugly attitude.

Never seen someone like her in my life. And I am 5 yrs old!

Unfortunately WE DO NOT HAVE ZONING of the presidency! Yes, some people may [b]feel [/b]it is necessary for our division but there is currently NO ZONING in place when it comes to selection of the president. What the constitution prescribes is federal character be applied by the president when selecting his officials, not when the president is being elected.


All this talk of zoning is only as it applies within political parties, which I am sure people who know can understand is not same as ZONING at the federal level.

Will you stop running your stupi.d mouth!
Stop exhibiting your arrant stupidity to the world with your baseless posts.
Have you read the constitution? PDP member?
You have no idea what you are talking about and you talk as though you are an expert in Nigeria politics

Very annoying girl!
Gosh, Do you have parents at all.

NO Zoning ! NO ZONING, like your father wrote the constitution!
Idio.t

igbobuigbo:

Yes, but they work for themselves while Ola, Ade, fstranger, Tinubu, Adisa serve them as gate men and apprentices, while still maintaining their 100% hold on the motor parks as touts.

True, because unlike the myopic Emekas, the Olas believe in diversifying their source of income. Again, superior thinking from the Yorubas. Y'all need to learn from Ola, Ade, fstranger, Tinubu, and Adisa.

The vast majority of those doing that dirty job still go by names like Emeka, Obi, Nwobodo, Igbobuigbo, Igbo boy etc

igbobuigbo:

Better a spare parts dealer than a jobless motor park tout Bode, in Ojota, no?

If you say so. Most of the touts drive commercial buses and they keep you in business.
Anyway, whatever you do, you still have to "serve" the interests of the 'Yoruba' man, educated or not.

Now run to 'Alaba' and go get 'Bode' some spare parts for his danfo.

I guess in a couple of years time, NYPD will be no more?
Agree?

Or do we need to pump more money into NY before we see a reduction in crime?

igbobuigbo:

Why not show how I am wrong. What do you know apart from cursing, hatred, bigotry and ignorance?

I do know about the intricacies of Nigeria politics more than you will ever know.
Now run to Idumagbo and get me some spare parts from your brother Nwokocha.

igbobuigbo:

Nigeria is doomed without zoning. The present zoning arrangement has one major flaw: it is 2-zonal (north versus south) instead of 6-zonal (SE, NE, NW, SS, SW and NC). If the later was the case, nobody will have seen Jonathan as usurping the north's term.

Again wrong you are. the present system is actually 6-zonal, not 2-zonal. check your facts!
I agree with you, Zoning is necessary in our politics.

^^^

What about security. In my opinion strong economic strength though very important, will achieve very little in an atmosphere of great insecurity.
We need both to achieve progress!

igbobuigbo:

The north imposed because they are able to muster what looked like a national appeal while Awo hid under his tribal cocoon and zik stayed in between  a tribal cocoon and desire to reach out like the North (read wanting to play both ways). See how ANPP, the truly northern party is fairing? The North knows the game and you cannot blame them for ruling this long. Despite the hatred Yoruba may show for Obj, when he was in power those who gained most from him, unduly I must add, were his kinsmen. That is why most of those under the EFCC searchlight for corruption/irregularities that took place then are from the SW. An igbo president may likely surround himself with igbos too, but we do not know yet since they have not ruled. The north knows how to throw crumbs at Yoruba and Igbo (making themselves appear more national) while having time to master their politics.

The above highlighted is not only false, it is a deliberate attempt to smear the characters of the great Yoruba people.
First of all, OBJ never represented the SW. He was and still is one of the few 'untribalized' Nigerians in politics.  
OBJ being a smart guy tried consciously not to appear biased towards any ethnic group. He did not surround himself with his kinsmen. It is on record that the people closest to him were northerners. More than that, he really does not care what your ethnic group is as long as you get along with him. Like all past presidents, he created a lot of millionaires, most of whom are from the north. He also created quite a few millionaires of Igbo extraction, definitely more than paltry from his own ethnic group .
It is unfair to make allegations without providing supporting evidence. There are more Ibos  being investigated by EFCC than there are Yorubas. I don't have the numbers, but from news reports, it does seem so.

The reason the north controls out polity is that we are still under Military rule, indirectly. Either we want to admit it or not. The Military still decides who becomes the president of this country because the 'king makers' are all former military officers. And  since the Military, as an institution, is controlled and dominated by the north, they continue to have the final say in what happens in our political life.

There is nothing like SW agenda.
Good governance is something everyone wants.
It is just unfortunate that anything articulated by a well meaning Yoruba man is termed SW agenda.

Anything with the name Awo is termed ethnocentric.
Reality is different from perception.
We have always wanted to spread our tentacles from time immemorial. Awo wanted a one Nigeria. Hoping to build up Yoruba in an attempt to show the rest of the country what he is capable of doing if given the chance.
The Cicero of Esa Oke, before his untimely death, also championed 'one Nigeria.' Unfortunately, past misunderstandings have made the rest of the country to view the Yoruba people and its leaders with suspicion. The early the rest of the country recognize the sincerity of our gesture towards them, the faster it will be to build/ move towards a more perfect union.

Until the rest of the country respect us for what we are, Nigeria may never know progress. Because at every stage, we have shown our superiority over the rest of the country, intellectually, politically, diplomatically, academically, and in other areas of life. We have set the pace and led humbly, asking for nothing in return; we only want to share our progress with the rest of the country.

So to those claming SW agenda. Nothing can be farther from the truth. There is nothing like a SW agenda. However, charity has to start from somewhere, and for Yoruba leaders like Awo, Bola Ige and Tinubu, it should start from the south western part of Nigeria.

Another day, another Emeagwali!
When will Ibos learn to he honest and upright in their dealings!

Thank God I am not Ibo.

This Atiku is rude
How dare him!
How can he talk to Obasanjo, the strong man of Nigeria politics, like that.

He should be focused on the prize.
There is no point paying attention to what OBJ says or does.

Sorry, i was busy banging this other chic!
How was your turkey day?

Anything left for moi?

The real individuals are prolly Ibos, using non-Ibo names to disguise

Ibo people AGAIN
How come these guys love money so much
hmmm, may God deliver us from them.

Kobojunkie:

As much as I am against these PDP goons, I feel I need to ask what the frell are you yapping about here! So what if he switched parties isn’t that the same some of you who are partial to Jonathan Goodluck have advised that he consider? Have other politicians not left the same ACN in the recent past? What do you mean when you claim that the interest of the Nigerian masses is best protected by ACN, than PDP? On what is this claim based?
He was primary operative of the PDP rigging machinery? Do you have proof of this claim[s]? Cause Last I checked, the man was not even to rig his way into winning the 2007 election. [/s] By the way, if Obasanjo is a bloody fool, what does that make the current president who sits and dines with the same group from back in 2003 and on you claim are riggers?

Does that even make any sense to you?
From your comfy home in OH, you know that Atiku did not partake in rigging?

Na wa for una ooooo. You are a brave intrenet warrior, because the other internet warriors I know don't even check, they just make things up.

Becomrich}:

The problem you people have is in Nigeria,the press because of what they would get from a president, treat governor and president like kings. They dont do the same, they are suppose to ask the hard question.

She did very well. It means Jonathan should prepare before an interview. He looked unprepared.  And he was jumping the gun. And Jonathan sometime never allowed her to finish was she was saying before answering question. Over here , they consider that very very rude thing to do. That may be another thing that piss the lady off.

And I think Jonathan also look at her as young. She is 34 years. She just look like a 22 years. she is 34 years.


And another thing I notice is Jonathan is taken things too serious, He needs to smile and not take it serious and try to joke around with them. He look too serious.
He need to lose up abit, he look too serious in both interview. He should try to remember ali baba joke. he knows what he want to say, is just been to serious that makes it look too serious. watch obama interview, he jokes around.



The way the lady talk is the way they talk over here. Even she called him President Jonathan. They even call Obama president Obama, they just say Obama.

And they do not call people Mr Goodluck, they call people over here, Jonathan. They go by the first name. and not the surname. They dont call it surname. They call it lastname. So if I see Jonathan Goodluck. I would say Jonathan and not Mr Goodluck.

There is a different between Nigeria and this place. My friend son call me big head because her mother call me big head, he is 9 years Old. But in Nigeria, Hmmm , you know what I would do, I dont say over the internet.

What? Are you a pedo-phile?

One tale or the other has been swirling around the affair between Saidi Balogun and Funke Adesiyan since both of them started stepping out as a couple. Though both of them have not openly said they are lovers, it is an open secret that they are in a serious relationship.



However, not too long ago, it was in the news that Balogun and Adesiyan had broken up. According to sources, Adesiyan complained that Balogun turned her a punching bag.



Life and Beat confronted Balogun with the allegation and he denied ever beating his friend.



“I don’t beat women,” Balogun said. “That story is not true. I don’t even want to talk about it. Both of us have decided not to say anything about it any longer. But if you don’t believe me, I will text her number to you and you will call her and confirm.”



When Life and Beat called Adesiyan, she confirmed Balogun’s story, saying that she was quoted out of context.



“Saidi doesn’t beat me. I didn’t mean it the way it sounded. He is not a woman beater. I don’t have any problems with him. We are still together,” Adesiyan said.

Yeah, Yoruba language is way better than Hausa language.
Learn Yoruba and forget about your Hausawa!

Ivynwa:

You misunderstood me dear, I am a very natural person and do not support pretense and artificiality. I don't mean that he pretends and speaks some fone, good English students will understand what I am talking about. You don't relax your mouth carelessly and allow the words come out as you like. You have to speak and make it sound good, it's the same thing as a lady leaving her body without carrying it well like a lady and throwing the legs and hands out wherever. The image she will give out is that of an unpolished person.
He can still be Jonathan standing/sitting confidently and speaking confidently.

Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada
Hence, he is not worthy to be our presido because he does not speak like the Queen
inferiority complex dey worry you.
Its a pity
I wish you werent a Nigerian, but it is what it is.

Hey you there,

Back off from Tpia, she is our in-house aunty gbeborun
It is her job to meddle in affairs that are of no concern to her

So she is well within her 'rights,' as guaranteed by the laws that created NL, to attack innocent posters like yourself.
She is however old enough to be your grandma. So backoff before I cut off your tongue

As always, Odikwa is very very risky oooooooo.
