Yorubbas,liarss and pretends are like bread and butter,that is why you mostly see them in media. And even the masters of nigeria the foolanis mostly give them appointment in the media like adesina and the legend of liars lai mohammed.
So it's natural to see more yorubbas as pastors than all the tribes in the zoo combined together.
In between I am a yoruba muslim girl from no man's land lagos.

Yorubas are your gods. You must worship them and supplicate to them on a daily basis. You worry about them so much you are no longer sure of your own identity.

That boy should be on camera 24/7. We need to hear what he has to say and "he doesn't talk on camera" will not suffice.
We haven't heard from another baby who was reportedly born with some Arabic inscription on his body.
Na wah for all these strange babies.

Crocky23:
Lai Mohammed and APC did exactly the same thing. They called even president Jon unprintable names, that's how bad it was.

Can you please cite one example of where Lai Mohammed called President Jonathan unprintable names? I seriously like to know.

Crocky23:
How come the same thing didn't make Lai Mohammed look a fool?

I can't remember how many times I've read FFK using foul language to describe some people he doesn't like.
What are we supposed to derive from that? Calling someone some nasty names does not make your argument superior to his.
If he wants to be like Kemi Olunloyo then at least we will know what we are dealing with.

Amakavula:
I know Nigeria will not miss me. About 200+ millions, you are much already so one extra liability wouldn't matter. I have had my hopeful moments, and thought once , that there was a chance for this country.

But I just can't take this anymore. Can't take the excuse of lazing around while my mate build the next iteration of the digital age.

I just can stand around as the next wave of progress hit the world and those with the critical mass of facilities can afford to take part and improve their lots.

Everwhere great and decent opportunities excludes the country, companies are leaving power is still a struggle and almost every single youth have now abandoned music -- then was football -- as a source to wealth. Now "we'' all blog !

I'm tired of laughing about the situation and desperately need to improve my lot and pursue my creative ethos. I hate the feeling of hopelessness. I don't want a job, I want opportunities; to learn, improve skill and also work.

I once called a client -- on directions from another -- for a pitch for a design project, he just blocked my number and only after the referral made things clear that I heard from him.
Reason; he doesn't do business with "Nigeria" . On freelance site too, similar story.

The digital revolution is creating Jobs and expanding quickly. what's our government's response to it ? They talk about getting skills, skills! in the digital age , which depends largely on power. Most at times comes 30mins in a month !

Nigerian IP is blocked to all most legit businesses home and abroad. And all we hear are looting and corruption which we have some worth taken as a comic relief, to the detriment of our future.

I have never stolen or defrauded anyone before but not suffer for what I never committed.
And the only consolation is what this pastor " Of the really famous church " says about the prospect of the new year. Ignoring how wrong they have always been.

please don't mention God or prayers, you should keep them. They would serve you better. I respect your God but not interested in the probability of serendipity; what you call miracles.

I have thought it over , Yes I don't want to be Nigerian again. I am tired oooh. As least being stateless brings a better chance of asylum abroad. please help.

Nations are built by people who put aside personal considerations and are willing to work for the benefit of the greater majority.
Rather than wait for others to do the heavy lifting why don't you consider what you can do on your part to make the country better.
The country you want to adopt was certainly not built by aliens from outer space.

FFK and his juvenile outbursts. If you want to be a politician and a leader act like one. Being a guttermouth will only obscure your message and make you look like a fool.

Billyonaire:
I disagree with Femi Okunnu on this; He is telling us the history of this land that I sit from 1861.

I am a researcher and there is compelling historical evidence pre-1800 that shows that the Portuguese were here long before the British showed up and battled the Portuguese as world power that they were and bullied the Portuguese out of this land.

Mr. Lekki, Mr. Fulo, Mr. Badagry and so many other guys from Portugal I prefer not to mention used this place as a slavehub in the 1500s and 1600s long before the Britons showed up. So, let us tell the history of Lagos, a Portuguese word, in truth. No one is interested in displacing the Yorubas, neither are the Yorubas trying to displace any other people. It is impossible, because even looking at it, Yoruba is not major language spoken in today's Lagos. It is English and Yorubas are not the majority of the tribes in Lagos, it is a cosmo-politan town.

Mr. Lekki, I have been to the village he ruled and use as Slave harbour and he gave instruction to be buried standing after the British stopped his slave merchant business and he refused to go back to Portugal, but his son did come after some years to exhume and cut off his head and take to Portugal.

Like I said, I research these things as I try to be very close to Indegenous people in order to find out the mystery behind attempts by successful leaderships of the world to destroy indigenous people, be it Aborigenes, Tibetans, Biafrans, Oduduwas etc

We must accept the fact that after the Bini people who camp here defeated the Ile Ife fishermen who also come to fish at the oceans and took over and named this place Eko, the Portugese slave merchant when they arrived called it Lagos. It was a free open place. But since the Yorubas dorminated the periphery of the place, it was only the possibility that when Nigiritia or Southern Soudan became Nigeria after amalgation of the diverse protectorates to eliminate the final strong-hold of the portugese, politics was in the hands of the people and the Yorubas were educated enough to migrate from their neighbouring villages to the seat of power from their nearby locale and concentrate in Lagos. If that is how Femi Okunnu come to his conclusion that Yorubas own Lagos, then he is right, but the word should be, that Yorubas were the highest the highest in population at a certain state in the early days of Lagos and so may have had dorminant interest.

Lagos belongs to anyone who can afford a piece of her, but it is owned by the person that created the land and that person happens to live in every LandLord in this growing town.

Lagos is not a Yoruba State, it belongs to all. No emotion will stop this truth.

I will continue to tell the true story about this town using the true facts available, which I personally investigate as my curiosity drifts from one thing to the other in my continuous probe to becoming the greatest version of myself, God.

How do you assert your authority over a piece of land? Is it it by writing long convoluted essays in the media or you exercise real power and control over it?
If Yorubas control Lagos today then it is a Yoruba state until the power over the land shifts to someone else.
When the British came to take over Lagos they didn't start by writing articles, they forced the king to sign a treaty. The same rules apply to anyone who is interested in taking over Lagos today.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.

VulgarVulvas:
Fashola, Rauf, Ajimobi, Amosun juju never expire.

All other governors since after the 2nd Republic up till 1999, did not belong to the awolowo occultic club.

Wait some years until their indemnity mature for coven.

Nonsense.

graciousolo:
It is very insensitive to leave the 'Yorubaland' there... I know.

I will modify that now.

Whether you include Yorubaland or not you have drawn your conclusion based on a faulty data. Let us know the number of all elected governors in Yorubaland and how many of them lost a lawyer child then we can begin to debate if there's anything to it.

graciousolo:
Awolowo lost a lawyer son.

Akintola lost a
lawyer son.

Jakande lost a lawyer daughter, and

Bola Ige too.

Now, Tinubu lost a lawyer son.

They are all
first child. Coincidence ? Or the price of leadership in Yoruba land?Just my thoughts.....���

Research no go kill me.
#copied

What about all the other governors who did not lose anyone? And there are many of them since the western region was broken into different states.

DJ Oshoko......His scratchings will go like; Dum..dum..dum....Ponmo....ponmo....ponmo.
Everybody say yeah.....wave away your troubles like you don't care......

Firefire:
I believe this message should be for you and our brothers & sisters in SW. They should not allow one individual to give them 1k in order to sell their future.

Do you remember, Jeun so ke' (AD), ko tun jeun sa'po. Meaning vote AD on the ballot and get your share of the bribe...

Perhaps if you and your family had listened to your own conscience and not what Tinubu told you or gave you perhaps you could have gotten the president you wanted and not bother us with your lamentations.

dominusgai:
I wanted to keep quiet, but after reading through the whole posts, I saw that the stupidity of all your post is like zworld, extraordinary everyday.

You see from your post I see u don't understand the meaning of democracy. Democracy is not doing what you think is right for the people, but doing what they want. If what they want is not right for them, then it is the duty of the leader to present the needed change in an enticing manner to the people.

Do you know how many people blasts Donald trump and openly insult him? There was even a picture of a woman riding a bicycle alongside him to tell him Bleep u. you don't see him attempting to shut the media down.

Now back to GEJ, he was the definition of democracy. No matter how good his policies are, you don't implement them if you can't make the people want them.

Now as for Buhari, he came in, guns blazing, not minding who is affected by his policies. made people suffer unnecessarily.

The moment as a government your policies make more people suffer than benefit, you have failed.

And for ur information, it is still d militants that are guarding the pipelines, and he is paying them. he tried to fight them but advice himself to stop after they blew up some terminals several times.

And he is also paying subsidies on fuel.
Don't worry, oil is now over $50 per barrel. When they are kicked out in 2019, we will see if they saved or squandered the treasury too.

You are a slowpoke if you can't point to where I argued that democracy is doing only what the leader wants or even support any kind of censorship on the media.
Jonathan was the definition of democracy? Of course he was.

Firefire:
FYI Buhary till he kaput in Aso rock.

Sai Barber!

Buhari till you learn to vote your conscience. A few bags of rice at election times does not indicate a free for all and a deluge of feebies after election. Control your long-throat and think.

Firefire:
Hmmm, you are changing the goal post.

Nigeria is a difficult country to lead...? Hope you are not just aware of this fact?

Same country that was difficult to lead under Jonathan, but ACN turned APC never gave him support or advice more importantly on national security but rather falsified lies and propaganda to discredit his government.

Same weapon of media propaganda APC used to gain popularity and eventually power are now being castigated?

It is very clear, APC will NEVER succeed in their enterprise again the power that brought them to power. 'Ida ahun, la fi un pa ahun' (use the sword of the wicked to kill the wicked)


Btw: Radio Continental (BAT radio station) already changed their name and now involve only in Music, ahead of the planned clampdown...

Jonathan was a failure and I don't think I need to explain why. He came to power with so much hope that he would do better than his predecessors, no sooner was his administration hijacked by all sorts of criminals and he was frozen in fear of dealing with them.

I'm not shifting any goal post, in the next election present me with a candidate I'm convinced is better than Buhari and I will vote for him. That is the way it works.

If Buhari should lose the confidence of Nigerians, just like Jonathan he should be shown the way out. No sentimentality, our collective wellbeing is more important.

Firefire:
Me voted Buhary...

Only the morons among my tribesmen (including all my uncles that was misled) voted the goat. They are now suffering for their action. No remedy.

You are one funny guy.
Nigeria is a difficult country to lead. If you take that as an excuse and do nothing then that is bad for everyone, that is exactly what Jonathan did after depleting our treasury.

Firefire:
You people who allowed one selfish individual (BAT) to brainwashed you into voting the tyrants called Mohomodu Buhary will never go unpunished, unless to repent and apologize to the sane minds who advised against it.

You just confirmed that Tinubu convinced you and your family to vote for Buhari! What happened to your own freewill?
If you act like a child today there's a big chance you will act like a child tomorrow. God will not punish other people for your own actions.
Yes, if Jonathan is the only alternative he will always lose to Buhari.

Firefire:
Connecting what? BAT mislead my family into voting this tyrant labeled 'Born-Again' democrat.

Una suffering never start. Awon Zone-B cum janjaw...d

Listen to yourself! An adult educated young man being misled into voting for someone. What is the point of going to school? What is the difference between you and the old folks in the village who never saw the four corners of a classroom?
I might even convince you to vote for my pet chihuahua to represent you in the house of Assembly.

Firefire:
Watin, dis one they talk. Wetin concern me with Kanu?

Ki lo kan lemomu pelu Itan 'aja?

We are used to empty threats from folks like you. If you can't make the connection too bad.

Firefire:
Ask the dullard in Aso-rock if he has the liver to change the contractors.

"Nigeria will burn" if you touch Nnamdi Kanu is still very fresh in our memory.
We don't need any more empty threats.

ikennaf1:
And we hate you right back Buhari.

That right, this was apparent even before he was elected.

Firefire:
[s][/s]

Not to mention contracting the security of our pipelines to a bunch of former kidnappers and criminals.

GoldNiagara:
Do you know that the success of Yoruba today was with out handouts of 20 pounds like you guys got and remember, we also fought this war.

Despite your 20 pounds we are still more successful in all thing.

We also demand our own 20 pounds.

Lol, one would think they fought the war all by themselves and it didn't cost the rest of Nigeria a dime.

Paperwhite:
And some people were well aware of the tyrannt called Buhari yet went all out to vote him into power as a "born again democrat"? A Buhari who and his party used all manners of "hate speeches"unimaginable to blackmail the previous administration now intolerant of same.E no go better for all of una.Wicked people.

I will vote for Buhari ten times over a very incompetent Jonathan who was so weak he couldn't bring any of the looters in his government to justice.
His wife allegedly built a billion naira hotel, what business was she involved in? What is the source of the money?

.

Government should not bother about censorship, eventually the wheat will be separated from the chaff.

SouthEastFacts:
We are proud of him.

Even if they own only shops, at least they told us those investments in the North only worth about 44 trillion Naira, that is over 100 billion dollars in today's exchange rate.

We were equally told #20.8 billion USD was repatriated and that Igbos in diaspora are over 40% of all Nigerians in diaspora. That is over 8 billion USD.

#Thanks

Who conducted the census of Nigerians in diaspora and concluded Igbo are over 40%? The problem I have with some Igbo commentators on the internet is how they casually make up bogus statistics.
Who are you trying to impress with these numbers?

Dangote alone is building a refinery worth $11 billion dollars and some people here are ranting about their mum and pop shops calling them "massive investment"
Wonders shall never end.

NgcoboP:
Sad. But his son is one of the thousands perishing daily due to the system of government held in place by Tinubu:s ilks..

You are being extremely dishonest to hold onlyTinubu responsible for everything that is wrong with Nigeria. Apart from the system being designed to be so opaque and extremely corrupt, even politicians with good intentions will eventually realize that they are swimming against the tide.
There are many things holding Nigeria down but unfortunately the people who have the power to change them are the people who benefit from it the most.

I agree with the OP but there's one little problem, we need food to feed all these people leaving their homes to move to Lagos. Perhaps these folks will allow Lagos government to turn their lands to farms, ranches and plantations.
It is for the benefit of everyone.
