After this, some lazy Igbos will take credit for Yoruba mans hardwork.

My favorite month of the year......

Shymm3x:
Please, let's leave Tinubu out of this. I knew he had no chance going against those folks, due to how the country is structure. However, I gave him the benefit of the doubt cos the party structure was under him during the elections. My only critique is the fact that some blinkered folks were trying to assert that he has surpassed Awolowo (hysterical cos in terms of political sagacity, Awolowo still towers above him despite the fact that the latter had his own weak points politically) and the fact that he turned Lagos into a family empire. Regardless, he did his thing and he's brighter than the current crop of folks masquerading as Yoruba leaders.

GEJ was an utter failure and he was just stupid to allow Igbos hijack his government. He had the chance to reduce the Northern hegemony and he won the election with four regions behind him. SE, SS, SE, and NC. He should've consolidated on that but he was just to dumb - hence he reduced his government to just two regions - SE/SS. Let's leave that weasel and utter failure in human skin out of the discourse as well.

So, how are we even going to get true-federalism/regional-government when the North, the same region that the status quo favours, has hijacked every portfolio required to push for that?

1. Reduce Hausa/Fulani hegemony (even boko haram couldn't do it)

2. Division

3. Unity of Yoruba leaders do they can speak in one voice for federalism/regionalism

4. Exposing Northerner's greed with any form of Yoruba media and hyping Yoruba interest.


You can't reason with Northerners, nor can you win against them in this structure, you can only go against them like FFK/Falae ( not the best leaders, but the best tactic); Attack.

chuna1985:
Across the whole of nigeria where we all live, Yoruba people are NEVER seen anywhere.

Mention one place in SE, SS or the entire north where the Yoruba people live


Come to Yoruba land as we speak, there are over 25 localities fully occupied n dominated by the igbos. Occupied to the extent that igbo language is spoken there. Move to north too, same case, Igbos live in more than 50 sabo ngeris n igbo language isnspoken there.

The s wasters never travel, except for their slaves in the Americas. They live their whole lives in s waste.

First you mention that Yorubas don't travel.......False.

Where do Yorubas travel?.......Anywhere but the east. If Igbos themselves are running from igboland, why should Yoruba travel there?

List all these dominated localities ...... Igbos can lie.

chuna1985:
I have never seen a place in Hausa land or igbo land where s wasters reside.

No one goes to the east, even Igbos are getting out of the east.

When you travel o the North, you'll see them. Ignorance is not bliss.

WIZGUY69:
what's happening in Yoruba land today

Onijongbon, se o rant wa leni lol

Shymm3x?? Snail ke?? Oluwa mi o...

Is snail no longer Igbin?? which of my words up there connotes snail?

Iya agba, abeg educate mi o

Meanwhile my funny yoruba is due to the fact that i was born, bred and buttered in the villages and creeks of the Niger Delta. thank God for OAU and my father who insisted on me speaking yoruba amd writing letters in yoruba, i for don loss

Your father is a great man. He brought our son back to us

I was messing with you/shym3x. I was hoping to see Aareonakakanfo referee a WWIII between you two joking......

Shymm3x:
Aareonakakanfo, Laudate, quimicababes, mayoroflagos, superstar1, 9jacrip, oduatstates, ileke/ilekehd, Aareonakakanfo, ritchiee, and everyone else who wants to contribute.

I want to us discuss the dynamics of Nigerian politics under the current government and what Yorubas stand to gain. I'll use excerpts from quimicababes' post as the preamble.



Now let's analyse the most important portfolios under Buhari's government.

- President: Northerner (Buhari)
- Senate President: Northerner.
- Speaker of the House: Northerner.
- Judiciary: Northerner.
- Chief of Army Staff: Northerner (this is the most important portfolio in the Nigerian armed forces cos of the structure and whoever heads the army controls the armed forces cos the Nigerian army is the only section within the Nigerian military that's potent. The Chief of Defence is just a mere appendage).
- Head of Customs: Northerner.
- Head of the Ports: Northerner.
- Petroleum Minister: Buhari should head this one - another Northerner.

The remaining important portfolios for decision making which are yet to be given out are:

- Finance
- Aviation
- Attorney General.

I think Northerners would take at least two out of the three. Mostly likely: Attorney General and Aviation.

So what's the implication of this hegemony on the Yorubas and how can we win the fight for regional-government/true-federalism when Northerners control all the important portfolio required to implement it?

P.S: please, post with a clear mind.

With a profile like this, I'm still trying to understand what Tinubu is up to. I'm finding it hard not to think that he has mistakenly sold Nigeria to the North.

Honestly, there's no hope but the division of this country.

All efforts to establish federalism/regionalism during GEJ ( a diverse administration ) was futile. I have no hope or expectation for this admin.

I hope i didn't murder the language too much sha?

You sound like an akata speaking Yoruba for the first time.

Did you just called shym3x a snail? Ifa must hear this

NRIPRIEST:
As usual,Ileke speaking from her a.ss.
Isn't bearing children outside wedlock a common occurrence amongst your people. It's even frowned upon in Igbo land as it's not part of our culture but it's very common in Yoruba land. Even married Yoruba men still make babies outside wedlock....smh.

No, it's not. Babymamarism is dominated by Igbo girls

Okeikpu:
Typical Eweduman wt inferiority com.... Awusa slaves

Nigerian slave. We don hear. Go protest.

wiseoneking:
Biafra dominated team and Brafran man coaching nigerians. Up biafra, leading always.

Bought by Nigeria. They're Nigerian team.

chuna1985:
Lmfao. Ur a very stupidd fellow. So that ileke is a gal n stays abroad means Yoruba people travel

We igbos have lived among u wella, we know u like d back of our hands. Den glue una for Yoruba land with super glue

Once again, I'll ask you to do your research.

No matter where you travel in this world, you'll find a Yoruba person, group, association, cultural centers etc. Yoruba day is celebrated around the world.

Untraveled Igbo tout. Just don't display your ignorance offline.

chuna1985:
A Yoruba man can never compete with an igbo man wen it comes to travelling.

U know nothing about Nigeria. Fulani herdsmen travel to SE because the other major tribe called Yoruba r sissies n always glue to s waste.

Keep telling yourself that. The same unproven repetitive statistics.

Yorubas travel more.

Ewo bi awon agbaya se n ja.

EternalTruths:
True very true


No wonder you guys lost ilorin to Fulani people

See what I mean? How about igweocha?
This time around, some of your lands will be allocated to Ijaws.

coolzeal:
It seems like you're the one preaching the hate besides, I've no problems with the Yoruba's at all. I just want them to understand that Nigeria is doomed and they should rally up and fight for their right. NO UNITY IN NIGERIA.

Give it 3weeks, your noisemaking won't yield any result. You lots don't strategize. You think it's by making noise alone? You wonder why boko haram does not have its arewa or sharia republic?

Franklyly:
Ure so daft, aren't u ? well, we are not as daft as u, we Are strategic, wen d tym to move back comes we shall do dat, not by force though, any Biafran that choose to stay back in the zoo is on his own.

Biafran that chooses to stay will be deported.

chuna1985:
Loooooooooooooool,

See Yoruba man who has never visited a state outside s waste telling am igbo man that he's "untravelled"

I really can't stop laughing

Id suggest you don't show your ignorance offline. No one travels to the east but Fulani herdsmen and involuntary corpers.

You sound quite untraveled.

Igbo girls and babymama pride

Igbos won't like this because she's Yoruba

Igbos are not united. Stop the farce online lol

chuna1985:
Common lies. Yoruba people don't go out from their region, Yoruba migrants outside nigeria are very minimal, except for Yoruba settlers in south America during n after slavery

For every Yoruba man that travels out of nigeria, 3 or 4 igbos travel as well.

Igbos have unions down to "vilage" levels. Nsukks, Ngwo, Awgu, ogidi, etc have their separate unions abroad, I'm talking apart from the main general igbo union.

D igbos are well known for travelling to all places on earth. They are renowned for that.

A simple research will do you a bit of good.

I can tell that you're very untraveled.

Why she no pose with biafran flag?

Igbos won't like this? This is the thief Igbos want released. LWKMD

Before nko? Igbos are not united.

bugzbunny:
Keep crying for wetin no concern u
Jobless cretin

So when are you gonna cry?

chuna1985:
Biafra is a true home land for the igbos, it has nothing to do with returning home. If u visit any country on this planet, u will see a union of igbos there. We are known to be constant travellers that move around to gain more grounds n do business.

Now you're making stories about not wanting to go back to Biafra? Are there no opportunities there for you not to go back?

Visit any country, you'll see a union of Yorubas, yet Yorubas would rather stay in their region in Nigeria.

Go to Europe, Central America , North America, South America, Asia....... Yorubas dey there.
