I doubt if he will survive the primaries of any party.

He is not contesting for a primary of an old existing party.

Well done youths like you are the hope of tomorrpriactive youth who have realized that ranting on the internet does nothing

Thanks my brother. The funny question I usually come across was "who is he". Then I mention Sahara reporters and some will say yes they know it. I'll like; that's the owner of Sahara reporters. You see, Nigeria want to have a new person entirely. More than ten persons promised me today that they will get a pvc just because of this. I will continue to preach it every day and I will do my best to ensure we take our country back.

Good evening good people of nairaland. Not for once in my live have I ever voted for a candidate because I have never believed in our electoral system since I turned 18.
But right now, I clicked into the take it back movement and I have started spreading the news. In the market today I campaigned for not less than a hundred people and the smile across the faces of Nigeria when they learned that a new face is coming to the political scene was so beautiful. Some were of the opinion that they will not allow him to win, some said they won't relinquish power even if he wins. But majority agreed with me that they will get their pvc and vote for him since he is entirely different from those we already knew. Take it back is a movement all of us must make to rescue Nigeria. They said we are inconsequential, it's time to make them know we are consequential. I implore everyone who believes in this dream to campaign from village to village, town to town, City to city, ward to ward, local government to local government until we take over the country. We can't wait any longer. This is the time to take over our country from these blood sucking politicians.

The world never gave Emmanuel Macron a chance. People thought Donald Trump will never become the Republican presidential flag bearer talk more of becoming the POTUS. A revolution has started in Nigeria, slow and steady it's gaining ground and it will sweep across the country. I personally don't do politics. But for once in my life, I'm going to vote, I'm going to campaign, and I will do all I can to ensure we sweep both PDP and APC out of Nigeria. Youth are the leaders of today and it's time we take our country back. Shitu has said we are inconsequential, that they have the money to shut us up, but how inconsequential are we? We will let him and the rest of the old men know come February 2019. It's a political revolution. For once in my over 30 years in life, I'm standing for a politician. I stand with Sowore. #enoughisenough #takeitback it's our country.

....when I say BBC and co I mean BBC Hausa service with 40 m listeners no mushroom station

But the real voters don't listen to BBC hausa or Igbo theses days. They listen to Adaba fm, Brila fm, positive fm, confluence radio etal

Alikote:
really BBC,France,german and ap depend on Sahara reporter pls don't say this in public oooih

The real voters don't listen to BBC, and they are neither French or Germans. They listen to their various local fm stations. Especially translated into their language. You should know this about the real voters. Thank you

Alikote:
But the true voters don't even read Sahara reporter...they don't have android phone....or data just radio they deliver 10 m vote ever 4 years ..

Oh! those radios actually depend on Sahara reporters and the rest for news these days.

Hahaha. You know I like Astrology, you should be used to it by now It's been a hobby of mine since I was 10, Butchy, it's hard to resist

The way you write. How you string those words together. Each word, each phrase and each sentence, they look so beautiful. You not only appear to be so comfortable with grammar, you also know how to put the words together to form a picture.

lol, even when the *on queue* is there. so, which other way is more polite?

Some people can be over sensitive spiritually in this part of the world.

I went to a bank one day and there was this long queue, some people were sitting down since they could no longer stand, I politely asked one yoruba woman if she was the last person on the queue. O boy! You need to see how she was binding and casting that day. Fear grip my spine.

One funny Nigeria English is...

There is fuel scarcity. This only make sense in Nigeria.

hyzich:
what's wrong with *who is the last person on the queue*?

please i want to know because i say that alot.

Sometimes, the response you get is what makes it hilarious.


I will never be the last person in Jesus name.

mhisbliss:
ok noted, now you can go back to being an unknown attention seeker

Hello, will the attention you give add a kobo to my dry wallet? Absolutely no. I just corrected you. I'm too busy to start looking for attention on Nairaland. You can see that it took me days to even noticed you mentioned my post. I still urge you to tune down your tone when responding to comment. Condescending others doesn't make you bigger than you are. It's so childish.

mhisbliss:
yap i don't have a reason to be polite here, kindly fvck off please

You should learn to be polite always. It saves alot. You don't need to be rude to be on top of the world.

mhisbliss:
Its still fused metal with a difference, its obvious, but dumb people can't see it, you see why I'm not having this conversation with you?

Sorry, but you are rude.

@GuidoVanRossum

Your response is brilliant!



There are Akoko-Edos that can literally blend
into the rest of Yorubaland and you will
NOT know they are Edoid unless they tell
you like my friend Femi Ajakaiye...


It was NOT until my 5th year in the university
that I got to know that my course mate
wasn't Yoruba but Edo. So Yoruba people...and
non-Yoruba
will have to GET used to that FACT and not
be surprised... Just embrace the situation
with love and understanding.


Even in Akure, the quarters of the AKURE Edos
still exists. Some of them that I've met in life
actually bear FULL Yoruba names. But the
family history indicates that they have some
Edo ancestry as well.


People have a right to choose any name
they want as long as those names have
meanings in their lives.


I read a copy of The NEWS magazine in
1999, on the origin of the people of Akoko
area of Ondo State. They come from
multiple origins and speak different dialects
but the then LGA Chairman of Akoko said
they ALL speak the mainstream Yoruba
so that they can understand one another.


That magazine article also indicated that
even nearby villages speak different languages
/dialects because some came from Edo axis,
Kogi axis, and other parts of Yorubaland.

All the best!


PS. Are all Akoko-Edos all of Bini-Edo
origin or ... to put it differently are there
communities that have Igala, Yoruba migrant
indigenes in Akoko-Edo, like Lampese
or something?

Thanks for understanding my point.

As for the bold, majority are of Benin origin. We have the ebira (etunos), yorubas (ayanra) and little mix of other ethnicities such as Igala.

Decades back in the University a friend of mine by
the name Femi Ajakaiye told me that he is from
Edo State and NOT Yoruba. I was a bit surprised
because he had a yoruba name. This is not strange
because along the Ondo/Edo border areas... intermariage
has taken place with Yoruba/Edo peoples. Akoko Edos
have their own dialect but speak Yoruba as well.


Onoshe Nwabuiku who is married to a guy from Abia State
currently writes a column "AIRTIME PLUS" for Sunday Punch is
She's an indigene of Lampese in Edo State.

You shouldn't be surprise next time you meet an akoko-edo person who have a Yoruba name. It's very common. I have a Yoruba name as well but I use my Jewish name more. For different reasons, people from my area have Yoruba names (some even have Yoruba surname). For me as an example, my dad stayed most of his life in Yoruba land and his first wife was even a Yoruba woman. Hence, all of us have Yoruba names.
But we are as not really Yorubas.

Those of you that are asking for his salary details, what do you want to do with it? While will he even do that? A lot of persons get jobs through nairaland without trying to motivate other job seekers like this dude and all you do is to discourage him and make him regret taking such step.

Make una change o.

Op, it depends on the usage.
When it's used as a adjectival phrase. 20-year-old is correct. But when it's a verb construct. It becomes '20 years old'.
E.g.
The 20-year-old football star has just been signed by Arsenal football club for a club record fee.

The football star who has just been signed by arsenal football club is 20 years old.


Note: in the first scenario, it's used as an adjective of 'football star'. While in the second scenario, it's used as a verb construct to the verb 'is'.

I think chief Aremu Obasanjo can be used to favour Nigeria again despite his errors in the past.
Hopefully, he will support Donald Duke presidency.

This is very wrong coming from the IG. The fulanis were killing with impunity lately and they were made to look so invisible. Now the CSOs of their states can't even raise a team to protect their people.

Messi is overrated for real. Messi is good no doubt. One of the best soccer players ever. But he is no god of football as some barca fans want us to believe. Messi was lucky to have top players with him in f.c Barcelona.

True talk. As long as the murderers are not fulani herdsmen
