JJC na real werey
I will not be surprised that this boy is still a teenager because even my last born at home is more sensible and reasonable that this clown
So because kids father is the founder of banana island that makes him a responsible dad?
Everyone knows that kids father is an irresponsible person and I'm glad the man is proud of who he is
Kid is a bastard,his dad never married his mum still date
Kid don't even know all his siblings scattered all over the country and we all know he does not have that father to father relationship with his dad
So keep quite,you sound pained are you also a born troway

@ emboldened

Davido's grand pa founded Banana island before federal government took it away from him and paid him compensation after court cases

Kid's father was merely one of the developers federal government hired to work on banana island.

How about you be realistically correct?


Was Adaka Boro not murdered like a rebel by the Nigerian forces. Till this day has he been honored by Nigeria?

I am not discussing this topic with you sir as this thread has nothing to do with it.

Thanks

ruggedtimi:
wetin awolowo do self for Yoruba tribe?

The number of schools he built per year is staggering not to mention the free education that went with it.

The number of infrastructures he constructed with very little resources was quite Astonishing. He touched almost every village in the old western region with something.

And he ensured Yoruba land had the first Television station in Africa, the first Olympic size stadium etc.

Plus the little fact of being instrumental to completing Lagos ibadan express way which is the busiest of all routes in south west Nigeria today.

Limitless72:
By "Some local Ijaw rebels" you mean ADAKA BORO and his cohorts, who thought fighting against Biafra was fighting for the Niger Delta region and course.

It's surprising Nigeria saw them as rebels rather than allies..

They were rebels to Biafra and allies to Nigeria

I was only trying to be politically correct.

Shout out To iamgrey5

Boy! What a guy

You made me smile this year

powerkey:
Mere chest beating.

Yoruba ethnicity don't have the muzzle to declare a rebulic.

Its only noise making.

In his reaction to the assertion, Shettima said, “It is just a mere threat as far as I am concerned, and I don’t wish it to be true.”

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Then what of the division at Benin and the Ijo army ? Where they stationed at Ibadan?

Was there any division in Benin or Ijaw ?

Or you don't actually know how the civil war happened.

What happened was mission led by Adekunle from Lagos to take back ijaw through the ocean with the help of some local ijaw rebels who were not thrilled about being in Biafra, same thing happened in Benin.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Abiola won because IBB backed him and this gave most of the south , MB and even parts of the north to vote for him.

It was this endoresment from IBB and a section of the SMC that made people troop out and vote for Abiola.

The Igbo did not vote for Abiola for reasons best known to them and I know they played a huge part in the annulment and were heavily invested in the Abacha govt and Also rock court that they can not be counted in any way or form part of the call to return to democratic rule and I also know they went as far as rallying support for Abacha's transition to civil rule. That's their kind of dirty selfish politics.

Abiola won the Yoruba votes by 3 to 1 which no Yoruba have ever managed in the history apart from Awo himself and 90% of Yorubas both home and abroad fought for him, of course there were those that preferred their stomach but majority of Yorubas fought hard for his mandate

Those are well documented history.

That was the reason the Northerners themselves ensured Yorubas contested for the election in 1999.

AND yes they eventually chose the Yoruba man they felt will protect their interest which was Obasanjo over Falae just like the igbos did. It is still part of democracy and people are allowed to decide who they want to govern them.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
FYI, I am not Igbo.

Secondly , if you go through my posts on this thread you will see where I stated that this is not a unique problem to Yorubas but to the south which makes us rudderless since no one is ready to stick his neck out when betrayal is certain.

I actually never alleged that you were igbo.

I was only stating facts

I only said those that live in glass house don't throw stones.

We can all be clever by half when we want to.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
As field commander , Obasanjo controlled several battalions and divisions

Was Adekunle's Marine Brigade operating out of Lagos or Benin?

Obasanjo was controlling the ibadan division with majority of Yoruba soilders sir

The middle belt military men controlled by Northerners were attacking from Enugu end of the war not from the West.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Let me also add here that Yoruba elders where mocking Abiola when Abacha jailed him saying he betrayed Awolowo by supporting Shagari's campaign .
They did same for Obasanjo , Diya and one ilorun General that was sentenced to death by Abacha. They said they did not support Abiola and were feeding off Abacha and so can not call for their release.

When Obasanjo came out of prison and became the candidate for the PDP, same Yoruba elders said they won't support him and threw their weight on Olu False. Why should Obasanjo give them any attention when his release from prison and ascension to the presidency was not by their doing but purely by the north?

Abiola won Elections in Yoruba land with a margin no one have managed to match except baba Awolowo.himself.

I remembered Nadeco and those that led it

I remembered what led to Opc

I clearly remembered those that led a million match in support of Abacha.

You can't twist history.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
But Awo's undoing came from one of his followers .

Was Akintola not in the same camp with Awo before he was enticed by the NPC to weaken Awo's political grip in the western region and federal Parliament ?

Have you also forgotten how Yoruba elders goaded Abiola to continue the struggle and remain in prison but were going to Aso Rock to collect scraps from Abacha? Even those in NADECO were feeding fat from Abiola and his friends abroad and only paying lip service to the real agenda. For this reason, as long as Abiola was in detention , they were in business for themselves.

Obasanjo knows these people very well.

They are like praise singers in an owambe who will shower praises on you and as you begin to spray them they will be insulting you within. Too much money and you be maga, too small and you are a miser..

That is Yoruba politicians and elders for you.

oh you forgot how igbos have often worked against their brothers that have led to them not producing a president after 60 years of Nigeria existence.

You forgot the role certain igbos played that denied Peter obi the vice presidential slot in the last election.

You forgot how certain igbos played a significant role that led to Orji uzor to prison.

Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
No one is denying the roles played by Yoruba generals and commanders in the civil war but you must understand the men they commanded were not all yorruba but majorly from the middle belt and north.

A battle tested General like Obasanjo would have been able to discern which nationality were more gallant of cowardly .

You obviously don't know what led to the civil war.

Or have you forgotten that every soldier had to return to their region.

I got involved in a lot productive things

***I just want to say thank you Jehovah*** in Phyno's voice

I still can't believe a disease that was barely known this time last year has claimed the life of more than 2 million people.

kettykin:
Bakassi peninsula that was given out without gun shot over an icj ruling which no one obeys was not part of Nigeria.

Third world countries like Nigeria are forced to obey icj rulings sir.

LegendHero:
Ebora Owu.

Although I don’t seems to align with your political school of thought but anyone saying you’re not Yoruba deserves to be taken to Aro and locked up forever.

With regards to the philosophy you mentioned, it’s an insult to even compare you to Awolowo because what Awo did for the Yorubas several decades ago, you haven’t done one-tenth of it so it’s better you continue to claim that nationalistic ideology like you always do.

@ emboldened

No one has managed to do it for decades. I don't think anyone can match Awolowo's legacy in Yoruba land.

kettykin:
so to lead your tribe out of Nigeria is a suicidal attempt but to dash out bakassi peninsular to Cameroon is not a suicidal mission, i still wonder what some fellows see in belonging to Nigeria that others are yet to see

He clearly said he couldn't have fought to keep Nigeria today in one decade and fight to break Nigeria just two decades later.

He said the ghost of the soldiers that died fighting together with him to keep Nigeria as one country will haunt him.

Baba Obasanjo is a Yoruba man, even though just like Jonathan he did very little for his own people while in power, prefering to pamper the Fulanis instead.

The truth is that every Nigeria politician with national political ambition will always have the interest of the Hausa Fulani at the back of their minds.

Countries invaded by USA under the Obama administration:

1. Afghanistan ��


2. Iraq ��


3. Pakistan ��


4. Somalia ��


5. Syria ��


6. Yemen ��


7. Libya ��

You mean the Us invaded Iraq and Afghanistan again after Bush started a war in those countries before Obama even became president?

Us invaded Somalia that is already in a civil war for over a decade before Obama became president

Pakistan? You are obviously making things up because you obviously don't understand special relationship Pakistan enjoys with the American military

Yemen? You mean the same Yemen Houti rebels have been fighting for decades to get independence from the Suni led government.

Then Libya and Syria? You obviously think Obama was the one that carried out the air strikes in Libya right?

Johnnyessence:
funny Democrat supporter. I just dey laugh kikiii.

Mention the Six wars Obama started

And tell me how he disturbed Libya and Syria.

basilico:
Pence can reject disputed votes.How many swing states have sent two sets of electors.

so Pence is now equivalent of a Judge who will act as the defendant and jury on his own case

Pence can only allow for a challenge by the legislators and brief debate on the states Donald Trump lost by a lot. Thereafter, the two houses of legislation will vote and will require a majority in both houses to over ride such votes.


Notwithstanding, this will fail as Mitch himself suggested he would vote against the president and you know who's in charge of house of representatives, don't you

guru90:
Yeah...

I want my building to be high....

ok.

No problem, but many people will use that soak away sand to sand fill to reduce cost.

Teaser4:
your mean "soapy"

I meant slope

Not straight

guru90:
I will used the soak away soil to fill my compound... Work in progress now....

Ok your Land is sloapy?

guru90:
My own building.....
4 bedroom (each self con)
1 big parlour
Kitchen
Dinning

I spent closed to 10m.
But wetin chopped my money wella is filling each room with clay soil....... to make the height of the room higher.

But if your own land location is level, u can't spend much, highest 8m is ok.

@ emboldened

Why didn't you dig soakawy and use the soil to sand fill to reduce that cost?

Depending on the dimensions of the building

As a first time builder, I will suggest you go for small room sizes and get an architect to draw something nice for you, even if it's those road side architects.

It should cost you somewhere around N7m for dry land, assuming you use simple materials like Laterite gravel instead of granite

It will cost you 10m upwards in swampy areas because you definitely have to use the strongest materials, strong German floor and iron rod from the beginning of the project.

Good luck bruv.

Marine54:
Believe the nation news paper at own peril ! Tinubu will do any thing to bring down a particular region in order to promote his Presidential ambition...

So without any attempt to independently verify, you will tag it fake news

Didn't you see the specific reference made in the report.

GentleRay:
Who told you elections can't be rig in the US. States rig election on behalf of their favourite candidate. State election processes are coordinated by governors who belong to one party or the other. You still believe in that myths that rigging elections in the US is impossible. I laugh! Losing candidate in the past only admit to the result for national interest, but in the case of Trump is different.

So both Georgia and Arizona controlled by Republicans rigged against Trump a republican president.

ElijahIme1992:
Every candidate has d right to go to court if they feel dat they have been cheated, so why are ppl acting as if he is doing a bad tin wen it is his right?

Is congress the court?

He has failed to prove anything in court and lost nearly 60 cases.
