Breath taking my as.s.. That is one of the most wasteful investment I have seen in Nigeria.. $70 million for an interchange in the midst of poverty. They should have invested in building good roads, schools and provision of security.

I work at Illupeju industrial estate and I use that route almost everyday except for holidays like this one.. under that bridge/interchange is a big slum.. My phone was almost snatched one morning after I finished a night shift and was going home.. They wasted alot of money in the midst of poverty

The pictures you see here are not even close.. I have never seen a place so dirty like that place..

Thank God your phone was not snatched. Please use the same phone to take the pictures of what you described above for the benefit of other nairalanders, so we may fully understand what you are talking about.

Rapmoney:
I already know.

Reason why he was saying all those craps.

Nonsense, he didn't start being vocal yesterday. Some ipobs even call him "Yorubakwe"
They don't like anyone who is not hateful and closed minded.

Cool.

FAKE NEWS FROM AFONJA THIRD WORLD MEDIA...

AND WHO IS BUHARI BY 2023?





2023 presidency will destroy Nigeria.


The way Yoruba are going about it have cost so many to lose their life already.


They even supported Buhari thinking he would die.


This is 2019, from Abiola to unfair and many more blackmail will be rolled out by Yoruba media to claim right of Presidency 2023.

The only Yoruba who thought Buhari would die was Fayose, a staunch PDP and ipob sympathizer.

Sade is dead? What a dumb headline.

BaaleOko:
Noise.

Why attack Oyo when poverty and low IGR has already done justice there already.

Why attack Osun when there's absolutely nothing there besides a turban wearing wanna be Emir who has sold the pride of his people over a plate of tuwo.

Why attack Ondo when the value of the goats there are worth more than the humans that dwell there, I mean what's Ondo even known for.

Why attack Ekiti when the only sensible person from there is Fayose.

Fulani have taken care of Kwara, no need wasting time over a conquered territory.

Ogun is already the headquarters of skull miners and ritual research experts, that state is projected to suffer massive depopulation soon due to the skull mining menace ravaging the state.

Lagos is already No man's Land, Emeka has already bought up his fair share of Lagos... Musa has beaten shege out of the noisy yorubas that dared to encroach on his rights... and other Nigerians have silently conquered Lagos, only the Igbos are more audacious about their fair of conquest... so yeah Nothing really left to conquer.

As for the rest of your gibberish, nobody cares... The point has already been made, kill yourself if you can't handle the reality.

Symbolism is not your forte, that much is evident.

BaaleOko:
Igbophobic idiot, you are a worthless reprobate whose hypocrisy can be preened through the thickest smokescreen. Why did you conveniently skip the part in my post where the Yoruba staffs having realized I was in charge and knew I was Igbo, started using derogatory terms like "Aje okuta ma momi" to demean me in Yoruba? You're a standard bas.tard, a fraud, and a very unprincipled vile character... you can mask your facetiousness even behind the cloak of whatever fake moral ground you take with your pseudo-intellectual shenanigans, but any sane person will smell your filth. If I'm a jaundiced individual, then that's fine (and trust, any more idiots who violate the company policies under my watch will be written up and fired), but you HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to tag me something you are also guilty of based on your anti-Igbo antecedents on here, so yeah iron sharpeneth iron as the good book says, now you can go fucck yourself.

You have a sour attitude, no wonder they referred to you as "ajokuta ma momi"
From what you wrote, I can see you have a huge ego and a thin skin, not very good for anyone in a leadership position. May I also add that you are very petty as well for having someone fired because they gossiped about you. Where are your balls?

KingAzubuike:
How can you kill a policeman who protect the citizens all because of a pregnant woman who has nothing to offer to the society. Now that the policeman is dead, crime and violence will befall all of you living in that area.

If this is meant to be funny, it isn't. Not amused.

Wiseandtrue:
Did you read where the OP mentioned that :

Abi na to make mouth you know

No victor, no vanquished. It was a war.

Osagyefo98:
Next.

Yeah, another day another wailing session.

Osagyefo98:
Can you fight?

or have u heard u guys fought before?

You are asking a dumb question. You don't even know me from anywhere and you are asking me if I can fight. Whether I say yes or no, you have absolutely no means of finding out.
Internet chitchat doesn't qualify as a fight.

Osagyefo98:
Can you fight?

Especially if you rant all day about things that happened before you were born. I believe a few slaps could reset you to factory default.

50 years on! The pain is real. Why then are the Ipobs looking for another war? So they can cry for another 100 years?

Lol

Simplyleo:
Hateful afonja will soon start their jelousy, but we igbos no send dem. We are everywhere doing what we are known for and that is why we are the richest globally.

Igbo amaka.

Alright o.

But kidnapping in Malaysia? Seriously?

Ikenna0b:
I repeat demons with schizophrenia. This one actually believe what he wrote was listened to. Like legit looking at my past comments before this one pitiful attempt to be an English teacher to my comment he replied, none can say I'm not justified to identify Afonjas as clans of schizophrenics. Their delusion is exactly as that of someone mentally ill.

Nri kingdom and several African tribes expanded their kingdom without resulting to violence. Even the Europeans you refer to, excluding the Germanic tribes, utilized Violence as last resort. Only primitive groups utilized violence as ability to "civilization and expansion". Even the Germanic tribes of that era were labeled and still being reported as the Barbarians of Europe. People with intellect utilized their intellect to expand their reach. No matter how much people demean the Fulanis they are perfect example of what I speak of. They expanded their territory usually sneakily yes and resulted to war in last minute hence, your illorin was colonized by them without a war and several areas they colonized is the same way. Another Igbo group, excluding the Nri, that displayed that same intellect is the Arochukwu. The Arochukwu land originally belonged to the Ibibio. The Igbos over took the land without not one single war or violence. The same for Opobo, albeit the land belongs to the Ijaws, but the Igbos could have easily taken over that land considering Igbo descendant have been ruling them for centuries now and the Igbo descendant became their leader, not out war but again intellectual tactics. Another tribe I would say displayed that intellectual ability to expand self without being primitive is Bini. Noone can deny the Bini made impacts to several non Bini tribes and controlled a portion of non Bini lands more so than any other tribe in Niggeria excluding Fulani. Albeit, unlike fulani, the Bini have lost control on all non-bini groups and lands but, in my opinion they were the southern equivalency to Fulanis back in the day. They expanded their territory majority without violence. When did utilize violence, it was always as a last result. Only primitive or rather to quote the Europeans you speak of "barbarians" uses violence, wars, etc initially on land grabbing.

You people marginalized your fucking self during GEJ administration. After-all, we all remember correctly it was your God, Tinubu, that stopped the position he was hanging to you Afonjas. Wasn't it Tinubu that stopped?

What intellectual diplay did you do? All Afonjas did was show us the level of pitifulness you lots are. The same Buhari that your leaders repeatedly quoted as a terrible person and leader is exactly who you lots went licking your vomit to push to the public as Messiah simply because of his popularity in the North and you lots decieving yourselves you can easily manipulate him. There's absolutely nothing Afonjas did that is intellectual, all you did was bring in your wild wild west tactics of assassination, ballot stuffing and snatching, voters threats and hiding behind the North population to bring in an idiot currently fucking up your shithole worst.

What that points out is you demons are extremely selfish...you care not what you destroy, how many people hurt/die as long as you demons control something. I mean let's look at it, you demons didn't see fulani herdsmen as something to wail about or try to stop despite the multiple killings they did in MB. Una didn't see it as a problem until they became a menace in your land.

Only primitive groups utilized violence as ability to "civilization and expansion"


This is coming from an educated man who is trying to teach someone about history! Are you talking about planet earth or some other places in the galaxy? There is no single empire in the world that expanded without violence. If you know one please let us know right now.
The Fulani did not use violence to form the Sokoto caliphate? Really? I hope this is not the Aba version of history.

BaaleOko:
Dude, It depends on the context. I have been in meetings where some of our Spanish speaking managers will start talking to each other in their native language. This is utterly unacceptable and they have been told to speak English.

If they are by themselves and talking .. no problem. If they can better communicate and figure out a problem in their native language, AMONGST THEMSELVES, than that's fair, but tolerance and freewill which I agree is a fundamental tenet of the American ideology, is MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE to specific code of conducts for a particular company/sector for the sake of other people, patients, workers... and of course in view of the diversity, English is mostly recommended to be spoken WHILE ON SHIFT. You can speak your language when off-shift (it's fuccking common sense dude).
So when you speak of Indians speaking their Hindi in whatever IT firms you know about, maybe you should do more research if that's standard protocol for that particular IT firm, cause I doubt a very diverse environment or sector like that won't find a problem with Hindi been spoken every damn time especially in a multinational setting... Thank God I have lots of IT friends, surely I know where I can get my facts.

For example in California where I stay and work , Spanish is a recommended second language especially for people in the health field, and that's because lots of the patients you see in different hospitals are mostly Spanish or Spanish-speaking, so it's imperative you take a year or two of Spanish class to communicate with your patients or staffs, BUT the underlining principle is that English MUST be the primary language to be spoken while on shift, nobody stops you from speaking your local language from time to time, but OVERDOING it is a steep in what is within professional dictum considered as generally unacceptable.

You are not the only people proud of your language, nobody gives a FU. CK honestly, an Edo man is proud of his language, an Igbo man is proud of his language, an Hausa, Urhobo, Ijaw, Kalabari, Itshekiri etc are proud of their respective languages, so yours ain't special. It's when you use that same language to cast aspersions on other people based on their ethnic identities (which your people based on a broad spectrum of experience) are most guilty of, insulting other people using derogatory and uncomplimentary epithets like I personally experienced yorubas do at my place of work, is definitely overreacting.

It's no secret the the Yoruba man's insecurity antennas begin to get the wrong wave signals when an Igbo is around, it's like an inherent disease or phobia...when a Yoruba guy manages to bed one Igbo girl, he will celebrate it like it's a bloody achievement and tell whoever cares to listen, an Igbo man will bed 10 Yoruba girls and not a damn soul will know... I've also experienced this several times (two of my close friends are Yorubas, females) based in Texas, and they don't hide their disappointment in their men even on social media, the consensus is that you guys are effeminate, talkative, and very BETA, all masking their fragility in the "Yoruba demon" tag... real nyggas know what's good, fucck with an Igbo dude and he will never kiss and tell... but a Yoruba? That's like selling yourself short.

What a comedian. So you have the data on how many Yoruba and Ibos are sleeping with each other and their behavior afterwards! Hehehehe
Generalizations taken to a ridiculous level.

gidgiddy:
The above is not what I'm talking about. There is this narrative that Zik opposed a secession clause in the constitution and that's why it was never entered the constitution

My simple question to people who share notion this is simple. How is it possible that one man, Zik, managed to stop something everybody else wanted, from becoming law?

Zik had only one vote. How did one vote become more important than the vote of the majority? That is not possible

Zik may have been against secession clause, be he is not the reason it never became law

It was at the constitutional conference in London before independence. The three regions had to decide whether to accept or reject it. The Leaders of the north obviously was against it leaving the two other regions from the south to decide whether to include it or reject it. The eastern delegation led by Zik then aligned with the northern delegation to reject it.
I didn't make this up, read about it in the history books. Don't listen to uncle Chidi, he never read any book in his life.

Ikenna0b:
I thought so just pure bullshit. Seriously, thought we are still in the era where Afonja's can write any bullshit and people automatically believes it. Good bye. Next time you want to write propaganda, remember we're in the internet era. Now swerve

Even one single Yoruba life is too much for your dumb war. Now scram

Ikenna0b:
Dum Dum Igbo history have been a fascination of mine for years now thus, I'm highly knowledgeable of igbo history especially Biafran history. List the so called other Yorubas beside Banjo that fought for Biafrans and provide evidence to back it up.. I'm all ears.

Educate me on the so called Afonjas that were Biafran soliders

This is not the first time this will be discussed on Nairaland. My mission here is not to educate you, just to shoot down your lies.

Ikenna0b:
The Bold alone shows me the level of idicrocracy I'm about to deal with. please direct to me the part of your Niggeria's constitution at that time that states a regional government must be ruled by sometime of that region. Until you can provide evidence of such, I have no time reading stupidity in defense of una creating tribalism in that shithole's government.

If Yorubas were being tribal Zik wouldn't have won a single Yoruba vote.

Ikenna0b:
Don't attempt to twist history. Only one Afonja fought for Biafrans and ironically, that was among the biggest ever as just like typical Afonja, he was a conniveing snake who literally betrayed the men he was supposed to be leading and had faith in him...As one can see anyone that ever trusted you demons always come out with their hands burned and a knife in their back.
More example of history distortion from you lots. We live in the internet era Incase you demons forgot. This is not the era of Lagos-Ibadan propaganda machine. The British left the Northern in charge when they left..Zik had no contribution to that.

Some of you just regurgitate what you were told. Not only Banjo fought on the Biafran side, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Osagyefo98:
The tribalism we seeing today was laid down by awolowo.

We treat him as a brother but nothing knowing he bears vile and grudges hoping to backstab any moment.

There are things you can't take away from a man and as for awolowo u can't take tribalism away from him.


Was it not for the role he played for the northern masters that he was awarded GCFR( yet on recorded, he didn't rule Nigeria) needless he died in the hands of those he worked for......What a life.


He bite the finger that fed him,sheltered him even released him , he think he is in their good book to fight igbos but at the end what happened he died regretting his actions.

Old wives tale. People who have never read a single book on what went on during the period will also come to Nairaland to regurgitate what their illiterate uncle told them.

Ikenna0b:
See ultimate cognitive distortion. What illogical nonsense is this in your pathetic attempt to justify Awolowo's tribalism? A Yoruba did not run as Northern or Eastern premier thus, how the Bleep did you come into the conclusion they wouldn't have allowed it if such never occurred. Considering, Niggeria did not practice tribal politics as it does now, chances are such would have occurred if it happened. The second Awolowo displayed the tribal politics, he influenced everyone else to have the mentality of if you're not my tribe, you can't rule my region. Your people are solely responsible of the hellhole that became your Niggeria politics

What you saw is politics. That is how parliamentary system works. Yorubas did not cry blue murder when Zik formed a coalition with the NPC in a coalition that essentially rendered him useless even when the same Awo offered him the position of the prime minister.

bonnylight003:
Osibanjo TINUBU and they entire Southwest is not only talking others from fulanis ... they're also postrating for them..

Failure to do that..... Everything in West goes south..

Only in your imagination sir.

Ok, who voted for Zik, ibos? Even in your useless biafra war, there were Yorubas fighting on your side and making the ultimate sacrifice, yet Yorubas are the cowards and the backstabbers.
From Herbert Macaulay to Victor Banjo we have seen Yoruba being absolutely above ethnicity and petty considerations.
What have we seen from ibos?
When the time came for Zik to become the prime minister of Nigeria why did he refuse and became a ceremonial president instead? Was it more important to him to be premier of the western region than the prime minister of Nigeria?

YorubaHero12:
Don’t go too far bro. I am based in the USA and working for one of the multinationals company here. We have something like Facebook within the company where you can see the information of all workers. Yorubas dominate the Nigerian nationals by almost 70% or more.

Anytime I see an Igbo in the company, they always bring up the word that we Yorubas are somehow cunning to be able to muster that much strength in the company (like maybe we are purposely supporting our own at the expense of the other) and that’s how it is across companies here.

We as Yorubas always want to carry everyone along I’m the company by setting up periodic meetings just to network among Nigerians across the 30 company office in the USA. The Igbos tried forming caucus and trying to do like they are being maltreated just because of some sort of envy (although not all but most of them have the same mindset).

If they can have this mindset in diaspora and they cannot hide it in a corporate America settings, what about Nigeria where they are living among us in the SW.

The only thing that baffles me about them is that they all share the same form of hatred, at least the Yorubas will have dissenting mindset to situation and even shield a stranger at the expense of their fellow Yoruba sometimes.

Their Igbo hate for Yoruba is real and it transcends generation.

Unbelievable.

SamNaijaboy:
I married an Igbo and had Igbo in-laws in the US so I know exactly how they think. It’s good when you have them as friends and you jointly help each other (which when I think about it, it’s always me helping them) but when they have some hook into you, you are screwed.

We all know how women can mess you up in the US. Marry an Igbo here and you are done for as a Yoruba.
They will use that as an extortion tool and try to control your life. Resist that control and you are done for.

I learnt the hard way that if an Igbo has a potential way of controlling you like marriage in the west where their daughter has the laws on her side, you are screwed.
Or you make an Igbo 55% partner in a business endeavor. OYO is your case

This is the fundamental difference between us and the other two major groups. We are liberals, the other two are ultra conservatives. We would rather share and accommodate different people and beliefs.
The other two are rigid and have a kind of "my way or the highway" attitude.
Something will eventually give, I have no doubt about that.

AntiBalaka:
Yes, we are definitely pulling out of this sh!thole within the nearest future.

But, you my oyoruba Frienemy, is going no where.

You know this because you know your Lords and masters in the north will never allow you to go.

I am a Yoruba, you should know know by now that we are equal partners in this Nigerian project. We don't take orders from anyone. If unfortunately Nigeria ceases to exit we will continue to reach for greater heights. As for you landlocked people with only a few kilometers of territory I will continue to pray for you. But our borders to east is going to be tight.
