Jirate:or those running up and down shouting owomida! ![]() |
alpontif:Yes I am happy that Biafra was defeated under the weight of Great Britain & USSR, I am indeed happy. This is history and I am not here to rewrite it. ![]() We lost but more Nigerian soldiers died on the battle field than Biafran solders armed with bolt action rifles, lol ![]() I hope you are also happy that female Dahomey warriors sacked yorubas from their villages such that they crowded themselves as refugees in Abeokuta. ![]() I hope you are also happy that fulani annexed Ilorin and installed an emir till tomorrow. ![]() I don't have anything to ask a tribe whose soldiers were overrun by women, lol ![]() No amount of chest beating or revisionism will change the fact that yoruba warriors were overrun by dahomey women and that Ilorin has been annexed by fulani. ![]() |
God be praised! May the others be found too. |
Mr president, God will help you to succeed. We understand that it is not easy to rule this country. |
Sunnymatey:Amen |
free2ryhme:Honestly. |
louqas:There was no need to die like a man when there was a chance to escape. You need a brain urgently if you cannot comprehend simple grammar. |
OLADD:Just imagine. The same shameless set of people are now asking NLC to obbey court orders. |
Government, therefore, calls upon and advises all workers to respect the laws of the land and to desist from participating in an illegal strike action. @ bold part, why is this government so hypocritical ![]() This shamless government is asking Labour to respect court orders but has consistently disobeyed court orders on more than one occasion after bail was granted to Nnamdi Kanu? Do as I say but don't do as I do. Shameless government! BTW, I support removal of fuel subsidy. |
skywalker001:bros the thing don too much oo and you know there's so much frustration in town because of the situation of things. Both sides have to be very careful. |
MetaHuman:Banjo was a traitor who conspired to prevent the advancing Biafran army from enteriing Lagos. he gave away several kilometers of captured land to Nigeria without a fight. i read somewhere where Biafran soldiers were deceived at Ore. ![]() Which battle did adekunle fight abeg? He was hovering around the outskirts of Biafra shooting women & children while Etuk who was the real man led the men into battle. ![]() For your info, Biafrans killed about 2/3 of the 3rd marine commando before operation OAU could even commence. ![]() Adekunle even radio lagos and called for reenforcement before he would be wiped out. It was starvation that eventually won the war for Nigeria, just imagine, lol. ![]() BTW, see the link to where female warriors sacked yoruba ancestors from their lands and they crowded themselves as refugees fleeing from women. ![]() Chai. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Fdtg4e5_WoIC&pg=PA169&lpg=PA169&dq=dahomey+female+warriors+battle+oyo&source=bl&ots=NuZLEuM1jF&sig=zL5w7f0gABZ1yzceX7J5YP9WvE0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiI7PTItuPMAhVEBsAKHQMJD-QQ6AEIUTAL#v=onepage&q=dahomey%20female%20warriors%20battle%20oyo&f=false |
skywalker001:Who is trying to overpower you on your soil? It is these agberos doing owoda everywhere that are causing this problem. Well meaning Yorubas should do something about owoda. |
MetaHuman:Lmao, it was Great Britan & USSR that defeated Biafra and not Nigeria. Only an eediot would lose the war with such backing so nothing special. Despite this Nigeria military suffered heavier casualties than Biafran soldiers whose standard riffle was the bolt action riffle. There is no emir anywhere on eastan soil but today Yorubas are being named saheed, basiratu, sekinatu, hafeez, chai. ![]() To make matters worse, your ancestors were conquered by female dahomey warriors, what could be more humiliating than that. ![]() |
Pangea:Adolf Hitler killed himself because there was no where to run to after he had finished fighting against the whole world unless he wanted to escape to planet Saturn. He would have escaped if there was any chance to but since there was none, he died bravely. That is what Generals do. Ojukwu on the other hand had a chance to escape and took it, that is what a wise General is expected to do. If he had allowed himself to be captuered and prostrated like diya before junior officers begging than he would have taken the award for cowardice but he escaped and rightly so. Besides, Ojukwu was a colonel in the Nigerian Army when the war broke out and not a general. Diya was a General. DIYA REMAINS THE RECORD HOLDER FOR COWARDICE AS FAR AS ARMY GENERALS ARE CONCERNED. |
skywalker001:We already have more than enough traders in the east. The competition is so tough that is why you see our people moving out towards the west and north to meet lesser competition. The east is too small for us. ![]() |
MetaHuman:The same fulani are also destroying farmlands in SW and have already taken Ilorin from Yoruba where an Emor has been installed till tomorrow. ![]() |
I don't believe this story. How can they claim that Igbos wnet to demand owoda from their part of the market when we all know the masters of owoda. They also claimed that Igbos prevented Yorubas from displaying their goods on environmental day whereas Igbo traders were left to sell. All these are lies to blame the Igbo for the crises and make us look bad. Dig down into the matter and I bet the problem is owomida. ![]() |
egwekwe:Stop being ashamed of your tribe and don't deny your family tree now Yoruba man from osun. |
seunlayi:Rubbish. A General is not expected to break down in tears under any circumstances before a juniour officer begging for his life. It is not done. |
louqas:Ojukwu did not kill his people, Nigerians did by starvation. A sensible General will run away if he can or die like a man if no way of escape. Go figure. |
raumdeuter:That is not the issue, diya ought to have respected his office as a GENERAL. He was very cowardly by prostrating before a junior officer and begging, crying like a baby. Ojukwu was right in escaping because there was chance to do so. Only a foolsih Geberal allows himself to be captured or killed whn he can still escape. |
raumdeuter:Oladipo diya prostrating like a Geko lizard before a juniour officer, crying like a baby and pleading for his life. |
raumdeuter:Ojukwu did what any sensible General should do that is escape if you can but if you cannot then die bravely. It is a foolish General that would allow himself to be captured when he can escape. If Ojukwu had been captured and he prostrated like a geko lizard begging then we can call him a coward but he escaped. Besides, Ojukwu was not a General in the Nigerian Army, he was Conel who was brave enough to stand up for his people. Oladipo Diya holds the award for cowardice, you can take that to the bank. |
We still remember how General Oladipo Diya prostrated before a much lower officer like a pregnant frog, weeping and pleading for his life, a General for that matter. How could a General be so afraid to die like a baby? Compare with General Aguiyi Ironsi aka IRONSIDE who was brave in the face of death and did not beg or cry for his life. He died bravely like a true army General. The story is there. Oladipo Diya takes the award as the most cowardly General of the 21st century and is a big disgrace to the Nigerian army and soldiers all over the world. Whenever you are asked to define cowardice in any exam just select "Oladipo Diya" as the answer and you get your A1 straight. |
Blame Yoruba agberos for this problem, always going about looking for trouble. Igbos are always peaceful people and don't look for trouble. Yorubas should call their agberos to order. |
Writing for Naij.com from Magodo, Lagos, [size=16pt]Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye[/size] says the Yoruba youths are no longer making their valuable contributions to the political and cultural life in Nigeria. What can the Yoruba people do to restore lost influence? Lateef Raji, a public policy analyst, in an article titled “Dwindling Oil Revenue: What Next for Nigeria?” posited that today, despite the pitiful state of unemployment in Nigeria, ironically, the nation is still rated as the third destination of investors and one of the fastest-growing economy in the world. Raji noted that Nigeria is a golden land of numerous opportunities for those who are resourceful, ingenious, creative, innovative, inventive, groundbreaking, enterprising, hardworking, focused, visionary and, most significantly, disciplined. Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today. I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth. The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities. The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos. More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas. Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners. The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. (Owoda) I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops. Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths. Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity. I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease. Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively. In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013. The Yorubas are also missing in the sports sector. The Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles, Super Eagles, Flamingoes, Falconets, Super Falcons, D’Tigers, other national teams are dominated by the Igbos and Hausas. The team that won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria in 2013 was tagged Biafran national team by some columnists and social commentators, including myself. Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. The result of the 2015 presidential election is a point of reference. The Hausas voted massively for General Buhari of the APC, while the Igbos extraordinarily voted for Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP. Sadly, the Yorubas had no bearing during the election. Jonathan’s inner circle members are currently blaming the Yorubas for their son’s expected defeat. Victorious Buhari’s teammates are reportedly saying that the Yorubas contributed little or nothing to the success of their kinsman. In conclusion, I want to impel my generation in the Western part of Nigeria to wake up and begin to act. The nation of Nigeria that I am seeing today is hemorrhaging. I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.

idupaul:Exactly. Let this be the end to fuel subsidy. Enough of this nonsense already. |
