Fineman87:
Am not indigenous to Lagos but the oil in my land is indigenous to Nigeria abi. The petro dollar too is not indigenous to the land that generates it. And the structures it is used to build now becomes indigenous to yoliba land abi. Zone.b

Did you put the oil inside the soil? Did you bring it out with your own money? And who told you there's no oil in my land as well?
Who told you for certain that it was the money generated from oil that built anything in my land?

Persecution complex! Everyone is out to get them, from Pretoria to Bangkok.

Fineman87:
Oil pipelines belong to all Nigerians but Lagos, a beneficiary of the pipelines, belong to yolibats.

When Lagos belongs to Nigerians, then the pipelines can belong to Nigerians. Nonsense.

Lagos does not belong to all Nigerians any more than Otueke or Enugu or Portharcout or sambisa forest.
I am not indigenous to your village though, same way you are not indigenous to Lagos.

Fineman87:
Sorry for your life. I wont engage a narrow minded yoruba.

Yes. Militants protect the pipelines. So what? Are they yoliba pipelines? The pipelinez that runs from militants village, whom do you expect to protect it? Nonsense.

And buhari is fighting corruption abi. Dont even provoke me.

You have no idea what awaits awaits yoliba in Nigerias political space. I pity you.

What the hell is eating you up? The pipelines belongs to all Nigerians.
Why do we have the police and the military?

poseidon12:
So, the bottom line is that Lagos is owned by the Bini. It is interesting to hear this from the likes of Erelu Dosunmu. And some loud mouths were claiming that the Aworis came here before the Binis.

The bottom line is that Lagos is Yorubaland but highly coveted by some people, especially ibos.

Fineman87:
So Buhari has created a "more balanced and just" country. And your life has improved ehn.

If so, why do yolibats want to return to pdp. You people ehn. I spit...

Who are the are the Yorubas returning to the PDP? Buhari's record is a thousand times better than that of Jonathan who made militants the custodians of our waterways and pipelines. Better than Jonathan who elevated cronyism and bare faced corruption to an art.
PDP is a party of thieves.

Fineman87:
So now that your region removed Jonathen, yorubas are everywhere ehn. I see how yorubas now control Nigeria. By being sidelined in the govt they midwifed.

This stupid reasoning is the bane of the yorubaman. Reality will dawn upon you when apc holds their convention. Only then will you understand what the yorubas have been reduced to. Wait and see.

The idea is not for Yoruba to control Nigeria, that is not how we think. Rather, the idea is for anyone who will lead Nigeria to create a more balanced and just country.

Obasanjo brought in Okonjo Iweala, Charles Soludo, Obi Ezekwezili and a host of other ibos.
He also brought in northerners and Yoruba alike, he did not saturate his government with only Yoruba.
Forget about hypothetical scenarios and let us wait and see like you said.

Frankbaro:
Igbo's take note! No more threat from any Yoruba person. Not even from lagoon Oba or Tinubu, Everyone have equal right, even in Alausa

We will surrender Lagos to you or whomever is interested but you will have to fight for it. Mano a mano.

Before the developers. Before everywhere and everything got developed and re-developed.

BankeSmalls:
It will be "we the Yorubas are tired of Nigeria"

I doubt it, more like "give us the presidency or we declare biafra" that is your favourite tool for blackmail.

BankeSmalls:
Yorubas that has been slam dunked out of APC when Tinubu was given the freeze out?

We need to create a new Yoruba party called Egbe omoluabi party

Last slogan was "It is Biafra or death"
What is the next going to be?

jomonic:
Sorry to be direct. The politics of the region highlighted is driven by short sightedness, vendetta, selfishness and immediate benefits syndrome.

This reminds me of the PDP under Jonathan. Reminds me of how Yorubas were purged from the aviation ministry and replaced with ibos. Reminds me how Yorubas were hard to find in Jonathan''s administration. Sorry to be direct though.

2011 (North in red) and 2015. Compare the two maps and tell us what is going to change.

In my opinion, 2019 will look a lot like 2015 but with the green in the middle belt turning blue. PDP is screwed.

Afam4eva:
Atiku is not the best man for the job but he's the best man at the moment to remove the embarrassment that currently occupies the seat.

Let no one fool you, Atiku is neither a messiah or anything different from the crop of politicians that we've been having but one thing i can assure you is that he beats Buhari in every possible indices of leadership qualities.

In a fair contest between Atiku and Buhari, Atiku will lose. The only thing that can dislodge Buhari is a more credible, and nationally accepted candidate than Buhari and Atiku is not that candidate.

I will vote for my pet chihuahua before I consider any candidate from the PDP. The party of Jonathan and mama peace, of Dasuki and Alison Madueke!

The whole write up is all jumbled together without a clear direction and full of suppositions and conjectures.

PDP represents failure and missed opportunities, I don't know how they will convince Nigerians to trust them again in light of what we now know about how they ran the country.

imhotep:
You are neither from Israel nor from Palestine.
Why are you so pained?

Africans probably use less than 10% of their brain power. What the hell is our concern with Jerusalem? What strategic importance is Jerusalem to us?

The Libyan and other Arab racists, though Muslims will have no problem selling the MURIC leader into slavery.

Jaideyone:
I love this question. when we tell the emotional cry babies PDP is dead in the southwest they start hyperventilating and ranting. now that SW PDP has been weakened further by the charade called an election PMB is set to win the next election.

why?
political conscious Yorubas like myself will chose the lesser evil. a corrupt atiku in PDP the party of thieves shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the treasury.

we just need PDP to do one more thing for us. give the VP ticket to the SE. then PMB get 70% of southwest votes

This is what the next election will boil down to.

Jaideyone:
you appeared very intelligent in your first paragraph until you goofed in the second when you said Yorubas never got it right politically. we chose to play opposition for 16yrs and we gt it right in 2015. that's takes courage. the south east has only been out of the equation for two years and they ate already wailing like life starts and ends with 2015 election.

if things don't favour us in 2019 or beyond we'll gladly go back and have a regional party that gave us meaningful development as against a ruling party that had 16yrs and failed the country

Thank you for your insight. Yorubas got it right by backing Buhari and by kicking out the PDP.
Come 2019, I hope the PDP will be disappointed again.

Mynd44:
Looool
Afam the tribalist speaks.

Abeg, I am just coming from an owambe. Lemme go live in the euphoria of the jollof

Lol, rare opinion from Mynd 44.

Shukuakukobambi:
Really Afam? so what do we call where they are now?

Political wilderness.

Little by little, one step at a time.

rhemmiedream:
Seems my truth just ruptured an aneurysm.

Mr Pig, I Before Others. There's no peace for the wicked.
Pigdiots aka flesh eating Dracula, you can foam from the mouth from now till eternity, it will never erase the truth.

By the way, Oshogbo is way ahead of all your five cursed,barren and red mudded land locked Hamlets.

Don't bring Ghana here. Abi lemme kuku educate your akpu filled skull once and for all. The Ghanaians were deported in the early 80s in the 2nd republic during the regime of Shagari and his slave boy Ekwueme. Maybe shagari sounds like an Oyo name and Ekwueme was an Egba man.
Thank me later for the bit of history.

We ll be here to lay bare your hypocrisy for the world to see. You hate Buhari and Muslims but you despicable subhumans are happy to lick the balls of another fura sipping Fulani man from Adamawa.
Straightforwardness is a virtue alien to you parallelogram headed criminals.

The only good Igbo is the dead one

Sometimes you just have to shake your head at how ignorant they are. Shagari and Ekweme sent the Ghanaians away but somehow Yorubas are now to be blamed.
Sometimes you wonder if you are chatting with a vulcanizer who have never read a newspaper in his life.

adeolakemi:
Yorubas were disappointed buhari didn't die intact in our heart we were wishing death to bubu so we can boast how politically sophisticated we Yoruba's are .....give it to the Igbo's they made their position know but we Yoruba's were pretending to care while every night we wish what Igbo's hoped will come to past

Lmao.......Identity crisis, I guess.

konoplyanka:
Atiku has lost already with Ibo's trying to hijack his campaign. Where were these Ibo's since 2015? Where is olisa metu? They went into hiding like their coward heroes. Only ffk and fayose have been keeping PDP alive.

2019 is near and they think they can hijack PDP. They are in for a rude shock.

You are completely right. It has been FFK and Fayose and a few others that has been leading the party since Jonathan lost.
Suddenly like a bad parasite, the biafrans have suddenly found a new host in Atiku.

liberalsinnerx:
Shey na by force to support Buhari? Shameless things!

Your support for Atiku should make him worry because you folks are not known for betting on the winning horse.

liberalsinnerx:
Typical afonja response...an afonja will stick a sharp knife in your back, blood coming out, and he turnaround to your face while you are bleeding profusely and tell you with a straight face...this evil you are doing against me will make people turn against you; but in reality, it's him afonja that his perpetrating evil against you. These people ehn, they are finished as a people and irredeemable. I dust my hands!

This is overused and stale. Let Atiku run his campaign before you ruin everything for him like you did to Jonathan.

liberalsinnerx:
The Biggest Reason Why Most Yorubaa Are Against Atiku is just one thing...Atiku has vowed to pick an Igbo VP, and possibly to succeed him in 2023. Atiku is prepared to write the wrongs in this country especially against Igbos. This didn't sit well with most Yorubas who see it as a closure to the assumption to office by their son Osinbajo ;whom they have hoped would come in through back for in the event of demise of Mr. president; miraculously he recovered. If you have observed Yoruba media have been attacking and lying on Atiku, as seen with recent propaganda that IBB told him to stop his campaign, a bold face lie IBB denied today.

Atiku will do himself a lot of good by disassociating himself from the same type of politics that saw to the downfall of Jonathan.
Here you are sitting in your bedroom and telling the world what the majority of Yorubas are thinking.
Your support for Atiku may turn out to be a kiss of death for his campaign.

legitnow:
Afonja always dramatic.

E never start now. Power play with drama is there way.

Bad losers!

Your "undramatic" support for GEJ is the reason he is now chilling in Otueke.
Bad losers? I hope you know the people who are still mourning Jonathan''s loss.

As part of her duties as the commissioner for happiness, she must be compelled to go from local government to local government singing this song by Bobby McFerrin:




Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy

Oh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number, when you worry, call me, I make you happy, don't worry, be happy)
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy now
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy

Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned note for note
Like good little children, don't worry, be happy
Now listen to what I said, in your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
But don't worry, be happy, be happy now

don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy

don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy

don't worry, don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, don't do it, be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) put a smile in your face
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't bring everybody down like this

don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) it will soon pass, whatever it is
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) I'm not worried, I'm happy


That will be cool.
