What is the origin of the last 3 governors of Lagos? Continue to delude yourself.Any Yoruba person can become governor in Lagos. If your Greatgrandfather was born in Lagos and your name is Amadi it is IMPOSSICAN'T as in NEVER!!

This happens because the yorubas in Lagos are united. If the other tribes in Lagos state unite and say they want to produce any political position in the state, they will and nothing anybody can do. Afterall the igbos themselves elected house of reps member there in Lagos.

Are u aware that yorubas and Igbos contest senatorship in FCT? But since the Gbagyi indigenes in FCT are united, they still manage to elect their own.

Maybe our unity and love for ourselves brought us this far... don't hate us hate your ancestors, so my dear stop wailing and tell your people to develop your place... cos the Oba might just kick u guys out by throwing your sorry asses into the lagoon...

Pls remove Kwara from that your list. Kwara is not part of the SouthWest, it belongs to the middlebelt and full of many tribes whose allegiance and existence is tied to Sokoto caliphate.

You ve a right to oppose Lagos on special status case but for u to mention other Yorubas claiming a stake in Lagos is none of ur bizz. You forgot we are a large tribe with solid tradition nd history ,so Lagos is ours, and forever remain with her sister cities(tradition and history) as London is part or England and Cardiff belongs to wales ,Belfast to Ireland even though they all belongs to UK.

Oga, Nigerian constitution does not recognise tribal boundaries as a part of government functioning. As long as the constitution and government administration is concerned, there is nothing like yoruba land.
Someone from Ekiti or Oyo is equally a settler in Lagos just as someone from Bauchi, Anambra, Katsina or Kwara is.
Your failure to comprehend this is a representation of your stark ignorance and myopic mindset.

I see girls with that thing as a hoe.

Well, don't u think u may be wrong? Some people just wear it for fashion

Nose rings are becoming quite common especially among entertainers and the funniest thing is that even guys are now joinning the trend.
Can u yourself rock a nose ring? If you can't, can you date/marry someone who does?

SalomonKane:
And this is usually the simplistic and over bloated excuse feminist like you give.

Tell me, is it by force for a woman to give birth? Or carry a baby? Haven't you heard of woman who use artificial wombs to birth their babies?

So how is it our fault feminist like you love to revel in pain so you can use it as a twisted and selfish aim to blackmail weak men?

Your emotional response have shamed you and your feminist wiles, woman. Now go to the kitchen and prepare food.

Whether u chauvinists like it or not, gender equality must come to stay in Africa, it's just a matter of time.

lezznjr:
Sharap there, sweetheart!

When Europeans conquered the world, their women weren't even voting. Matter of fact women in Nigeria began voting before their Greek and Swizz counterparts.

What moral lessons are we to learn form them other than lesbianism, fücking bone-thin women, and confusion?

But today, these Swiss and Greek counterparts have a more equal and progressive society than Nigeria. It's not a matter of who laughs first but who laughs last and who laughs better.
And talking about confusion, who is more confused between them and us?
Talking about lesbianism, what about other sexual practices like giving heads, blowjobs, anals, threeesomes e.t.c, did u learn these things from your fore-fathers?
Hypocrisy of u African men is the reason why our continuent remain backwards, u guys should get a life.
Gender equality must come and stay in Nigeria for good.

Oh my, am crying already

Young03:
please that my nsukka woman should go and seat down


it can't happen in Enugu state


proudly #NSK#

People like you are the reason why Africa will never progress.
All these Nigerian men against gender equality should be ashamed of themselves, that is why we remain backwards as a nation. We have to learn from the civilized nations if we ever want to be developed like them.

SalomonKane:
Funny some women will scream their lungs out and say they're being denied their right.

If you put this set of brainwashed women together with a man to do what the man do(es), the amount of lamentation you'll hear will topple the ones found in the book of lamentation.

If truly this bill or any bill will come to fruition that advocates 'equal rights' for women, it should be stated explicitly that if and should any woman complain about being subjected to the same harsh treatment as a man, she will be given 12 strokes of the koboko.

This is usually the excuse that you chauvinistic men always use an excuse against women's right.
What does a man go through that is more than the pains of labour? Anybody can go through anything gener irrespective.

tcheww i feel like peel u alive whatt da f*vccks

Why is my comment paining u na, are u a nupe man?

sumborri:
Apparently the wife was politically manipulated. Buhari ought to have divorced her for such tyranny. If a wife to a president has lost faith in him and hiss government, who else should keep faith. That's the worst treason that cn occur to any man and should not be taken lightly. Am sure she has seen the folly in her behaviour and would now understand why michelle obama or any other first lady in world history has done what she did publicly. Its a huge shame. Taking his wife's advice would spell weakness and he won't do it no matter how much the advise makes brain. Its male ego and perfectly justified

Taking his wife's advice would spell weakness? Male ego my foot. This is why Africa is backward. Why can't u African men use your useless male ego to develop the continent?

This man juju strong sha. No doubt sha, he is a Nupe man.

Is it today we started hearing all this?
(arrangy)

See you guys, you people are just a bunch of ignorant lots and you people think all other Nigerians are cheap like you people who can sell your loved ones for money.
Most of you have never lived or interracted with northern christians, if not you would know that these people are not capable of the kind of things you are accusing them of.
Northern christians are the most unmaterialistic people in Nigeria. There is no amount of money you can give to most of them in order to buy their conscience like you people are accusing them of.

These northern christians are the victims here and instead of you foolish southernerns to show them sympathy, u are claiming that they are a scam. This is why christians in Nigeria can never be united and we shall continue to be dominated by muslims. You southernerns make me sick. Fooools.

Moreoffaith:
My brother I just tire for this matter walai..even for Lagos here science student no dey reach 200 for class, come see north wey be say na 13,14 drm dey marry how dem take reach that number for inside class for ss3? Total number of student wey dey write GCE no dey pass 350 abi I lie? God is watching this country.

Why must you talk like an ignorant person? These people are christians and not muslims. Northern christians go to school very well almost as equal as the south. Go to northern christian areas like Kaduna, Plateau, Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe and u will see that it is very difficult to find their christian indigenes who are of school age that arr not in school.
Dont sit down and conclude things about the north from your village in Anambra state.
Chibok is a christian dominated LGA in Borno state.

Why should she?

LOVE YOUR COMMENT BY THE WAY.........YOU HIT THE NAIL IN THE RITE PLACES!

Thanks for the compliments.

Onijagidijagan:
Not at all they same thing..as a yoruba person I can understand them all.

Yes u can. If Bini people are speaking, an Esan person can pick up many words but he may not understand everything, likewise an Afemai can pick up Esan words.
Even among the Afemais they all dont understand each other, Owan people do not understand Etsako completely, but they can pick some words if they listen well, even within the Etsako people they dont speak the same thing, Auchi people will not understand many things from what Agenebode and Okpella speak. Even Agenebode and Okpella in the same Etsako east LGA have very strong differences and do not understand each other and they may even speak English with each other. I schooled in Edo state, the problem is that Edo people never had a central unifying dialect or lingua franca like the Yoruba speakers had Oyo dialect as the unifying dialect. This is the weakness of Edo, but there are so much similarities in their words even down to the Urhobos, Isokos, Itsekiris, Ikas and Ndokwas of Delta state, they have similar words as Edo descendants.

Please,I am not Benin nether am I Yoruba. There are somethings that gets me worried about this supremacy battle.
1. Why is Benin population not anything close to the Yoruba race if indeed they were long in existence before the Yoruba race
2. If the Yoruba race is claiming superiority, why was Benin kingdom and history better documented than the Yoruba kingdoms.

I am here to learn please. I don't mean any insult.

Now to answer your second question.
I think the Benin kingdom was better documented by the Europeans than Oyo kingdom because Benin kingdom was closer to the coastal areas than Oyo kingdom which was further in the hinterlands.
There is a kingdom called KWARARAFA in Taraba state and this kingdom was one of the greastest in West Africa and arguably among the greatest in Nigeria, but this kingdom did not receive much recognition by the Europeans due to it's location which was deep down in the rough topography of the middlebelt region, to know the greatness of the Kwararafa kingdom, most tribes from Benue, Kogi, Taraba, Nasarawa, Niger, Adamawa, Platean and Cross river states claim to originate from this kingdom, of which i am one.
Do u know that many Edo traditions actually came from the white men? Not just Edo alone, many Niger deltans including ur own Efik people incorporated white cultural attires into your own cultural attires, e.g the Bowlers hat of Ijaws and Deltans, the white robes of Benin chiefs from European Reverend fathers e.t.c.
So the Europeans had a greater contact with the coastal people than those of the hinter lands hence Edo getting better recognition than Oyo.

KingOvoramwen1:
major population?,WE BELIEVE IN FAMILY PLANNING NOT INDISCRIMINATE F*CKING OF UNDERAGE GIRLS ,the EDOS are after A STABLE PROGRESSIVE tribe". but ensuring material progress and preserving their culture in THIER CITY EDO STATE...


ARE YOU ENLIGHTENED NOW??

U seem to be angered and u are commenting unnecesarily. That is not an intelligent way to answer this question. You started this thread well by enlightening us only for you to start this.

I am here to learn please. I don't mean any insult.

Now to answer your question.
Edo may not be as populated as Yoruba because the Oyo empire conquered more people and territory than the Benin empire did and the Oyo people forced their language down on all their subjects and this is how the Oyo dialect of yoruba united all the other yoruba subgroups in Nigeria.

Benin on the other hand used to believe that their language and cultures were sacred and superior and should never be spoken by their subjects and this was the greatest mistake the bini kingdom made, they never enforced their language on their subjects.
Almost the whole of Edo state are descendants of Bini Kingdom, majority of Delta state ethnic groups also look up to Benin as their origin, many parts of Ondo and Rivers also look up to Edo as their origin, even Lagos too. Even the Onitsha people of Anambra state claim to have come from Benin and all these groups continued to pay their homage to Benin kingdom, many up to today.
Imagine if all these Benin descendants had retained their original language or a form of Edo which served as a lingua franca just as Oyo serve as a lingua franca among all yorubas, they would have been identified and classified as one ethnic group by the colonial masters and would have been probably over 20 million people in 5 different states now.

Onijagidijagan:
you such a liar, my girlfriend is afemai when benin people are talking she doesn't understand...tell d lie to someone that hasn't bn to edo before.

When Ekiti people or Ikale people are talking Oshogbo or Ibadan people cannot understand.

Am speechless

Ok

KillerBeauty:
Most men are scared of independent women and yet they keep screaming that they want an independent woman. Some men can't even woe a woman who have a car

You have said the truth sis.
I am not in anyway encouraging women to think inferiorly or depend on a man for survival but these so called African men as u say cannot withstand or cope with an independent minded woman.

Splendid, am happy for her. May God deliver the hausa-fulani masses and their backward ways of reasoning.

Gosh, his sons are damn hot and handsome.

Clinton9000:

If u support Aisha it means u r a disaster waiting to happen. Hw can any sane woman be an opposition to her husband on international TV.

Woman was created for a man and nothing more to be his help mate, all these gender equality nonsense will never stand

No, u are the disaster that has happened. So u support Buhari who disgraced himself and all Nigerians internationally? Even a neanderthal or homo erectus from the stone age will not make a comment like Buhari did, which age do u yourself belong to? Better go back to the pre- stone age where your likes belong.

Buhari is the worst thing to ever happen to the black race.
