Let the rich also have some bites.

Btw, Jane market, I heard they are amongst the puller in the financial market currently

What's the purpose of party members registration online? What will inec use it to do? Does that mean that if I register for APC and change my mind later months, can't I change to something else like pep? What's the implications? I want to learn.

This should help

The problem with the ADC digital registration is nobody to fund it.

Atiku funding the process will already make others to know early that the ticket has been reserved for him

Peter Obi and Amaechi would be like, what if I lose the primary after funding.

lawani:
Ok. The stunted nationalism of different Yoruba states was just short sightedness because what did Ibadan do wrong for wanting to unite the Yoruba? What misuse of power? They left all the traditional structures intact and never removed them anywhere and only posted ajeles for the purpose of tax collection and cooperation

Oyo empire misruled. That's on record. Considering the distance between Oyo and Ilorin, why did Oyo empire take war there and eventually lose?

This current Alaafin, have you seen crown on him? There is no crown, the ancestral crown have been stolen during the war in Oyo in retaliation by the Fulanis. They looted reasonable ancestry things.

Till Today , which of the other 5 SW states did Oyo state have cordial relationship with?

Let me add in particular. I am only relating history, no enmity between the people of South West or the Yoruba's, but when it comes to history, we should be able to tell ourselves the blunt truth about the past in other to do better in future

lawani:
Yes I agree people existed there before the refugees came because the dialect is quite removed from Oyo but the Egba in the main say they are from Oyo. The Owu there are from Owu and etc

They are still relating with their town and villages outside Abeokuta town . Infact, I can say almost every Abeokuta indigenes have villages. One way or the other.

But the relationship with Oyo people, No.

Ekiti people, their royal kings, if you talk anything about Olubadan or Alaafin, they always talk down on them. Misuse of power

lawani:
Egba was a province of Oyo. It would be a mixture of Oyo and the aborigines of the land. Egba became independent around the same time Dahomey and Ilorin became independent. They then had to be protecting their territory by themselves which is mainly from Dahomey and probably Ibadan. They formed a well organized republic and later went into an alliance with Britain in 1893 for trade and cooperation. They had confrontations with Britain after which their friendship treaty was converted into a protection treaty in 1914 and they started paying tax to Britain

Like I said, those 5 kingdoms including the Egbas are warriors. The people they met there might have been minorities who fled early. When they see them coming, probably they thought they are about to be attacked hence hiding under the rock.

The town existed in small communities before the arrivals of those 5 kingdoms.

I actually like the relationship between all of them whether in culture, language, food, politics or whatever, you can't really separate egba and Owu or Gbagura

If you do something intentional just to satisfy your ego, just don't apologize later

lawani:
Egba was not a British protectorate until September 1914.

They were not among those fighting at Igbajo

https://guardian.ng/opinion/egba-as-nigerias-premier-nation/

You see Abeokuta in general, there are 5 kingdoms with 5 kings ruling over their territory.

Alake
Osile
Okeona
Gbagura
Olowu

They are warriors that settled in Abeokuta town as they fled because of war. No superiority amongst them.

They have their roots in some outskirts of Abeokuta, some parts of Old Oyo.

The people living in the town before the arrival of those 5 kingdoms , Abeokuta wasn't known or on record. The story before is not available per say. I haven't seen any

When those visitors came, they saw some people , when they asked them where were they, they said under the rock( Olumo rock, Abeokuta

Probably those 5 kingdoms came after the 1914, don't know much about that regarding date

Even with the proximity of Ogun and Oyo, they hardly shared same ideology regarding politics and religion because of those wars. The Oyo empire took advantage of so many small communities with unnecessary wars

aswani:
Obi is not getting the ADC ticket, mot even VP.

All dis una useless Peter Obi Blog post and YouTube vlog, ńa waste of time dem bi.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Nutin for Peter Obi or Obidients, make una do.

Bro even if Peter Obi gets the ticket, who will fund his campaign? The donation by the supporters is a token in scheme of winning presidential election in Nigeria?

I no dey give shishi no dey bring votes, forget about sweet talk

Ibadanfarmroad:
why didn’t you talk about insecurity?

You can as well ask the opposition as this is about them

gidgiddy:
A testament to the complete failure of APC government to arrest insecurity

You are blaming Apc for self inflicted pain? For how long would you continue deluding yourself about this?

Okay. They should tell us what they are going to do differently?

Return the fuel subsidy?

Continue naira dollar subsidization?

Bring hunger back as one of the opposition leader over the weekend said the farmers will suffer because of price of foods coming down ?

Nigeria fx, High credit score with the international foreign institutions, are they going to reverse the progress?

May be their supporters can help their principals in answering what their party are going to do differently without being emotional, they might win people to their camp

Iran/USA/Israel war is a foreign news, why are some people have dedicated the politics section with foreign news

I actually don't get it, have all the problems in Nigeria solved hence we have run out of discussion?

The way some people carry this foreign matter for head as if they are directly affected/concerned

May be mods should start banning anyone who deliberately post Iran war to politics section.

That's against rule 1

1. Please post all threads in the right section

All of them are hypocrites. Trump claiming to be Nigeria christian savior, in which verse of his own bible did he learn about killing people anyhow?

Who are his enemies, how many people have been killed? Are the family of the Iran leaders also part of the threats.

You see anything related to religion, I just can't make sense out of it as they are liars deceiving themselves

No, which kind of bitter politics is this.

Abeg make una dey slow down with una politics jare.

Which kind thread be this now

Na insult his supporters will give you

Reasonable number of them are uncultured

gidgiddy:
Its very unfortunate that as bandits slaughter hundreds of people every week, the political establishment of Nigeria are only interested in 2027

How about the killings that have been happening in South East

Stop this mischievousness

Start taking the advice of buying mosquito net seriously.

See the damages those mosquitoes have done to your reasoning faculty

Oyo and Osun have been acting wayward lately no disrespecting

lawani:
People are still clamouring for more states. I want our Ijesa state. It was an independent state for various spells of time before colonisation. People want the independence they had before colonisation and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong if a state of twenty million is existing side by side one with just 200k people. There is no way Nigeria would not have been divided into states because the owners of the lands want it like that.

Egba was the last to join Nigeria in 1914 but now they don't even have a state.

Your last paragraph, where did you get that from?

davillian:
others were splitted into countries and not states

Which of the old regions do you think can still maintain their minority or the minority willing to join them?

Win win for the Nigerians

Richtaiwo:
Obi To Gets ADC Ticket 

There is a delicious irony unfolding in Nigerian politics right now that nobody saw coming.

You see this op heh, na God go save him from the spirit of fakeness.

During FCT election, if you see how many misleading stories this guy shun out heh

You see this particular blog, it's full of anything fake, propaganda

I am still wondering why some people just like to be repeating same boring tactics and expect different results

Are you guys not learning a thing

These opposition should please get a meaningful life and stop bugging us with their boring epistle

Why are you guys always after something to scatter.

A visionary president. I hail his Excellency

CodeTemplar:
Was it God that helped them under PDP?

Please don't be asking me dumbo question. You should by know those to be asking such question

Last warning

erad:
With the level of insecurity in Nigeria, you claim to see surveillance helicopters in Nigeria and the next thing that came to your head is possible uprising regarding iran/Israel war... How una dey think abeg?

Is our internal crisis not enough to warrant surveillance helicopters? Why should any sane person even think it has to do with iran/Israel wahala? You just push stupid narratives when it's absolutely unnecessary.

Hahaha, how many times have they been dreaming of regime change in Nigeria?

That's how petty some of them are. To them, Nigeria can never get better except the person they supported get to power. Imagine mentality

Very mischievous people

May God help Kwara people to settle their palava.

Na same them claimed Ilorin is closer to heaven, how come bandits are ravaging the state

Walezy2020:
na lie may na for dream he dey see chopper

Bro, just imagine the deliberate mischievousness. To gain or achieve what?

Those people heh, let me just reserved my comments

Predictor3:
Which currencies exchange do you do? IN Like two years, what about in like four years ago before this government got there?
