The capital of the country is not in Yorubaland, so the protesters should not take their protest to Yorubaland. The Scots didn't take their agitation to Wales when they were demanding for a referendum on whether they remain part of the UK or not. Taking the protest to Yorubaland will be Ìkojá àyè (going beyond boundary), taking into cognisance the political environment at present.


Biafra is achievable without confrontations!

*in Lady Stark's voice*

She has birthable hips.

Are you sure these ones actually fought in the (un)civil war, because they don't look that old to me. They may have witnessed the war as kids but I don't buy the story that they actually fought in it.


Anyway, the government should bury this thing once and for all by organising a referendum on the Biafra question.

This Momodu of a thing

I don't even know which clique or camp he belong to....whether na CHANGE or TRANSFORMATION or NEUTRAL

He's just flexing with everybody whether devil incarnate or angel...he no send

It appears he's a political flirt. Wherever the next contract/news/story may come from, no shaking. Clientelism of the highest order.

What is wrong with these judges?

I don't feel like knowing any news from that state.

Because I haven't seen or heard any good news since the emergence of Mr. Fayose as the Governor


That man isn't suppose to be a Governor in the first place.

Mcheeeew

Besides cutting ponmo and buying Tomato, I read that the state has also started demanding that the people pay taxes - about the major (if not only) positive development since Fayose got into power for the second time. The tax evaders are now being made to pay tax, and they are grumbling. If all goes well, and I hope it does, the state should be able to generate, at least, N1bn per month henceforth.

End time Senators.
Baba must not sign this into law.

He collected money for publicity and media political campaigns from the office of the National Security Adviser!?
Na wetin man pikin no go see for this country. Was the NSA the finance manager of the Goodluck/Sambo campaign? Hehehe... This saga keeps getting more and more interesting.

Dokpesi, oju ole re. Ole!!!

Truth be told, the promise I remember was N5k to the poorest and vulnerable Nigerians... Lai Mohammed may be right on this one.

Those with opposing views should provide evidence pointing to the contrary.

Same here o. I've even had to argue with some that throughout the campaign period, I didn't hear anything concerning paying 5k to unemployed graduates monthly. The only 5k-promise they made was to poor people as part of their SWP - a leaf which they borrowed from the previous government in Ekiti State.

Nigerian journos... Chail!

THEN WHY DO IGBOS HAVE THE HIGHEST ILLITERACY RATE IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA EVERY ONE KNOWS IGBOS ARE GOOD IN TRADING WHILE THE YORUBAS ARE THE BEST IN EDUCATION. THE IGBOS CANT STAND US WHEN IT COMES TO.SCHOOLING

Wake up!

The other day El-Rufai decided to put an end to street-begging, and they spoke out against it. Couldn't believe my ears when I heard Shehu Sani's take on the matter.

Everywhere on the streets is littered with Almajiri boys, singing "Allah ya kiare" in request for alms. Many of them cannot recite 1 to 10. In a country where you need to be educated in order to aspire to political positions, these kids are effectively (being) disenfranchised. And almost no one bats an eyelid. It's normal. Now when "normal" comes with an abnormal fury, everyone will resort to denial. Comedians everywhere!

Dude, how does this man wear pants? I mean his balls must be. Fuc*ing large

The truth is dat we all know Islam is the reason why the north remains under developed, a cancer that has continued to place Nigeria on some very undignified list (illiteracy index, cholera, poverty, vvf, etc).

until the Muslim elite folks at all levels show the same hatred for anti Islam to boko haram, they will continue with this bs.

Thank you. And they'll be saying the underdevelopment in the region is a result of the governing principles of the colonial authorities, 55 years after the end of colonial rule o!

Imagine someone preaching about women's rights, while his wife and daughter go about their daily businesses veiled up in burqa. The earlier they face the truth and tackle their demons, the better. Hypocrisy won't take anyone anywhere.

I only accept d fault because we Muslims did not campaign against dis group in d beginning rather we keep mute. Not until now that they have gone beyond what one even imagine

Only? They were nurtured in your mosques.

To those lamenting about Nigerian primary schools, when you leave primary schools under the jurisdiction of the poorest and most ill-managed tier of government in the country with little or no assistance or coordination from anywhere, what do you expect?

Until we get our acts together and put our house in order, the lamentations won't cease!

Yesterday's man.

Onegai:
Please where exactly are you from that 17-25 is in the same age group? In my village, age group is 3+ years according to how my ancestors defined it. In the city I grew up in (Lagos), 17 and 25 is cause for alarm (one is about to enter uni, the other is about to get a job). So how are they mates? Or where you come from, 11 and 19 is a normal dating couple bah? Same number of years, so I guess that's also right.

chai...

17-25 still fall within the same age bracket. Relationships between people between that age bracket are VERY common in our society. So don't tell me your ancestor's story.

Was it not in this same environment that a 16-year-old girl told me she was dating a 25-year-old guy and I was like, what the ****!!! But then one looks around and sees that it's not novel.

An eleven year old kid is still in where, primary school or J1? While at 17, she should be an undergraduate.

Did you even read what she said. At 17, she was old enough to work, old enough to be in a relationship, old enough to have sex in a car, in an hotel, old enough to do doggy, old enough to give BJ, old enough to stay out till 12am... But she wasn't old enough to know she was being raped?

And over a year after the whole fiasco ended, she was still stalking her alleged rapist? Does that follow for your side?

9jatatafo:
No never seen the emails. Does the emails give account of what happened behind closed doors? Where i see the lovers' emails?

Yeah. Oya feed ya eyes, and come give feedback:

9jatatafo:
There is always two sides to a story and sugabelly have told hers. The wife of Mustapha Audu is not in good position to give the other side of the story. I am waiting to read Mustapha's version. Not supporting anyone though but all I am interested in is the truth and a balance picture

Oh! Please don't tell me you haven't seen the email exchanges between the "rapist" and the ever-willing, love-blinded "victim"?

If the comments I've seen on NL on this Mustapha-Sugarbelly non-drama is anything to go by, as a people, we can hold our own!

You don't just sell bobo and expect everyone to buy. If we do, then we can't call the thing inside our respective skulls "brains".

And for the overnight, viju-milk women right's activitists, sannu! Same goes for those who'll support anything coming from a woman, just because she is a woman - the lightweight feminists fall in this category (Betty Friedan will be turning in her grave).

Madam Oby really fall my hand for this matter. Well, why am I surprised? Since Baba became president, all the BBOG struggles have been confined to 140 words on twitter.

This consensual sexual relationship was between two spoiled brats aged 17 and 25, and if the emails are anything to go by, it took place in the very year she turned 18. Unless we want to make hypocrites of ourselves, this kind of relationship is very common in our society. They belong to the same age bracket. This is different from, say, 17 to 45.

In fact, while I agree that the guy has his faults, he has my prayers now. All these overnight noisemakers will not turn this story to align with their position, we won't allow them.

End time Olosho (I finally have a chance to you the "slang". )

750k in the room?! And she didn't think thrice before handing the money over!? Chai!

And how many days did it take her to make the money?

I've been saying it: this industry must be taxed. By neglecting it, the government is denying itself of revenue running into billions of naira annually.

The stories have finally started adding up. She made it sound as if it was abuse from A to Z in her initial disjointed outbursts.

She claimed it was rape and sexual assault and all that and that she contemplated changing her place of work but didn't want to spook her parents.

Now we know the mom was aware, she kept on working where she worked and kept going out with him because the going was rosy, and that two years after the whole fiasco, she was still professing her love for him.

Does that sound like something that happens between a rapist and the victim?

Thanks for this scintillating piece, TonyeBarcanista. Hard to believe I'm eulogising you for a write-up.

macof:
I've not listened to the Akure dialect but you need to know that "Ekiti" is really not a single dialect
Remember Ekiti is a traditional confederacy

Scholes0 is right about Akure being Ekiti. It's the same with Iju & Itaogbolu.

Helives:
I am yet to see what Fayose has commissioned! Good one Ambode..

Bros, be patient! Fayose has been governor for only 13 months. Very soon, projects like market stalls, payment of pension arrears, etc will be commissioned by the Irunmole himself. Patience.

If they catch you, by the time you wake up, you'll be surrounded by 72 virgins.

Time to ban long hijab and burqa in Abuja, at least until the threat is no more.

Wole Olanipekun don reach here again!

I always like knowing why Nigerians are atheists.....they're rare gems.

Quote/mention me when you want to tak about it [be it on this thread or the religion section].

I believe Nigerians become atheists for the very same reason(s) why other nationals become atheists. They simply grew up! Lol.

IlekeHD:
How's that population plenty?
And here I was, hoping that we multiply that number by three soon.
They're not knacking enough.

Huh? What will the new ones eat?
