Report him to keystone.

Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe were never nominated together for the nobel laureatte, Infact Chinua was never nominated not even for once.

There are no brown roofs in the south east... i repeat no brown roofs......

Gtb is not yoruba owned, I repeat it is not yoruba owned....who uses bellview these dsys, alakija we all know her story, bi Courtney... lol that one na national company abi lagos only branch, which one...so many flaws here man

Fola Adeola founded GTB in conjunction with the late Tayo Aderinokun....those names sound french, don't they?

Biafra agitation is not yet a problem, the promoters are just making noise here and there, no concrete steps have been taken, so far just ''mere online noise''. when it becomes a problem we will begin to look for solutions.

PPAngel:
And why is that an insult?

Outside Lagos, the SW states can't survive without federal allocations.

Mention one state in SE that can survive without federal allocations, thank God south west has one.

davien:
Standing in this context means to survive....and remember a day to god is like a thousand years...so the surviving generations are still there..

That's how a christian distorts plain english and reality..

You are not serious...lol

Tact is far better than brute force, but will Buhari apply tact? From his demeanor so far, i doubt it.

Why dem go make ibo man head of NIMASA? dem get sea for IBO land?

I don find trouble today........make i run.

Yes ke....we have learnt your english, its time for you to learn our Yoruba by fire by force.....colonisers are now being colonised....o se baba

Aude:
What is wrong with your legs and mouth? Why can't you go and buy your own food? I don't understand why a lot of Africans think because they are in a higher position they should use those below them as their servants. Get off your behind and go and buy your own food. Also if you don't have money what is so difficult in telling them you cannot keep on spending money on them.

In my office i buy my food myself ever since our office assistant started thinking i get paid millions of naira. People dont know how tough things are they have this crazy idea that you are worth 100 times your real worth....when na manage u dey manage urself and family.

elvision1:
i just quoted you to say you've gotten enuff quotes already that exposes your narrow mindedness.

Lol. You just made me laugh.

Getting Biafra is actually easier than all these online noise making.
1. Pack your loads and depart to Biafra from every nook and crany of Nigeria(Zoo as you like to call it)
2. Ask every non Biafran to leave Biafra within 7 days

Voilla....there you have it....Biafra becomes yours forever.....Action is louder than words.

If this people are really Osun workers
1. How did they get transport fare from Osun to Ota
2. Wouldn't that transport fare be enough to feed for at least a week?
3. If they are so poor, how come they all look so well dressed and well fed?

This is pure propaganda, i am not in support of Aregbesola,but if a man of God must help Osun workers, let him help the real workers and not this unneccessary pubicity stunt.

Federalism will not solve the problem.

The correct term is Ogou or Egou not Egun.
The Ogous are a different ethnic group and whilst they trace their ancestry to Ife like most so called Omo Odua It is not clear they are "Yoruba" in the now widely understood meaning.

The Aworis are not the most populous indigenous group in Lagos State.Rather that is the Ijebus who are in Ikorodu and Epe.
The Aworis are quite close to Ijaw in some ways .Whether or not they are "Yoruba" is for them to say. They seem to have taken that position but we must remember that about 150 years ago no one called themselves Yoruba . The first census conducted in Lagos by the British did not mention Yorubas rather it mentioned Ekiti,Oyo,Ijebu etc and that is very instructive.
I suspect this is similarly the case in other parts of Nigeria where disparate groups have been forced to unite with those with whom they have the greatest affinity so as to survive Nigeria

The Awori are a different group entirely. It is important to realise that before Nigeria was created there was no one calling themselves Yoruba though this was generaally understood to mean Oyo people they did not call themselves so

I intentionally used Egun, because thats the name many people know us and call us by, we are the Ogus, but your assertion that Ijebus are the most populous is contestable, The Aworis are the main indigenes of Ijanikin, Ojo, Amuwo Odofin, lagos Island, Isheri, Agege, ikeja, Ibeju Lekki, Iba, Ajah and they constitute quite a major proportion of Badagry indigenes also.

The Aworis constitute a huge proportion of Lagos Indigeneship, from Badagry to Lagos Island, isheri, Ikeja, Ajah to Ibeju Lekki, they are the original settlers of those towns, the Eguns and Aworis are the major indigenes of Lagos, because of their numerical disadvantage successive administrations have often neglected them both in appointments and elective offices, this is very unfair, i implore Ambode to redress this great anomaly.

This is one reason i will never support regionalism in Nigeria, i prefer true federalism based on states, Regionalism will simply turn we Eguns and Aworis to slaves in our land, because we don't have a huge population does not mean we should be treated like conquered slaves in our own land.

A Lagos-based Igbo think tank, the Igbo Conscience, has urged all Igbo and Yoruba living in the state to settle their differences and move on.

God bless you mightily, there is nothing to benefit from violence, Nigeria is what it is today simply because the igbos and Yorubas the 2 greatest races in Africa have refused to co-operate. The moment Yoruba and Igbo co-operate then nothing and i mean nothing can stop us. However the north and the south south minorities will never pray for such, the fear of domination is the beginning of wisdom.

Koolking:
I assumed you are deeply tribalistic. This is not good for the current national rebirth. Madam pls treat softly.

The Yorubas own Lagos, this can never be disputed. But do you know almost all available space in Lagos has been sold to foreigners as highest bidders due to greed of some of these landlords? Imagine if these foreigners handover eviction notices to their former Landlords (Yorubas). Your guess is as good as mine.

It is these lies of yours that keeps putting your brothers in trouble, which land in Lagos has been sold to foreigners? What percentage of lands in Lag is held by foreigners? Who ever believed that the famous Ladipo market is even still been held by Yorubas. When Yorubas start ejecting your people from their houses you shout blue murder, but if they manage to rent their apartments to you, you will start running around the whole country lying that you have bought all the land in Lagos.

With the renewed fight against corruption and stability of the economy, foreign reserves that was depleting fast like water in a basket, suddenly grew by about N3BN in a month, i am totally satisfied.
Buhari has not done anything, yet things are improving, i am totally satisfied, may this nation never be cursed with another GEJ again!!!

I dont really think Nigeria mind the clamour for Biafra, so you can continue.

When did our banks start lending 200 million to poor teachers?

Castroii:
Seems like RCCG don run out of parish names, cos I know of another "Jesus house parish in ph. Soon, there wud be a situation where about 4 diff parishes wud bear the same name.

I know of another Jesus house somewhere in Ojo.

AnambraDota:
Who many votes did Buhari got from SW.

Just say the truth

Its not the number of votes, its the packaging, just a year ago would you have ever imagined that Buhari would ever emerge as the president of Nigeria one day?
But enter the SW and its media, Buhari, yes that same Buhari the ethnic bigot and the religious jingoist was repackaged as CHANGE and just like magic he won the election.

Its not by numbers my dear, it is by sophistication.

This is exactly what you people told GEJ and he believed it until six weeks to the elections when it dawned on him that he was going to lose the electon without SW votes and he started running from pillar to post seekung south west votes but it was too late, just too late.

Ayo Opadokun has always supported GEJ now, especially after the confab scam. Why do some idiots like to revise history so senselessly like this?

Where is Egun

ckmayoca:
You made a point but it's cos of nearness to sea... the port! Just like money is more in new York. If there is a seaport in south east or south south, it will obviously be same or southsouth/south east florish the more.

There are 4 sea ports in the south south, Onne, warri, Port Harcourt and calabar.

N500k per year is not too much to pay as tax, you want to make money from a state without contributing to its development?
