SirShymexx:
I will post a few academic references in the morning. I'm knackered right now lol.
I need some sleep.

Night. Searching4Love will soon come and tuck you in

tonytony208:
You mean the same way some people opened radio station to preach hate and separation?............... Pls don't derail this thread. Thank you.

Or the same way nomads kill Nigerians like bushrats........

Aareonakakanfo:
But in terms of infrastructure even though i might be wrong, fayose hasn't done half of what fayemi did. All fayose does is insult buhari and eat amala in canteens.I guess that was what you meant by being closer to the people

That Fayose is a tout. I dislike him and it's rare for me to dislike anyone. Ignore my NL ijongbonism, I really dislike Fayose in real life. He even looks like an agbero.

How such an slowpoke can have sexy sons is beyond me

aljharem:
Sister, you are not even as yoruba as me. Just because my written yoruba is not that good does not mean I am not yoruba.

You are even in the USA not Nigeria so what gives

If I reply everyone with as much complex as you, I'd go crazy too. So please....... go and create a northern thread.

Aareonakakanfo:
Beautiful! Another reason might be because Ekiti is very small.A friend of mine who lives in Akure once told me Ekiti is the most beautiful state in Nigeria and has the best road networks but I have only been there once and I was ignorant then so I never cared

Every time I go to naija, I don't want to leave Ekiti. Yes it's not as busy as Lagos, but the scenery is beautiful and the people are awesome

My sister, american-born didn't want to leave. She asked my mom to send her back

You just feel a sense of peace. It's relatively peaceful there.

tonytony208:
During fayemi's reign, the government was too far from the people and the people did not like that.

In fact, fayemi was a governor in abroad; he was running ekiti state from another state. He was rarely found in government house or his residence.

Fayose came with an alternative: a government the people can see. And the people rushed him like hot cake. Can you blame them?

I like Fayemi for all the great things he was starting to do in my city.
i.e He was rebuilding a bridge between my city to Ado.......this has been an issue since the creation of Ekiti state.

But I guess that transparency is important.

aljharem:
I love the idea of this thread so some of us yorubas can air our views and see reason

Right now the South West is not united and I don't think it will be anytime soon.

We have a self imposed leader that has NEGLECTED AFERNIFERE AND OTHER YORUBA STAKEHOLDERS. PLEASE someone should tell me how the yoruba nation can move forward. A HOUSE DIVIDED ON ITSELF.

Whether we choose to accept it or not, Yoruba nation has a VERY BIG PROBLEM which must be handled with a swift response.

Look at the ministerial list. I mean the only Yoruba leader we have there is Fashola (who is now an enemy to this parasite of a leader) the rest are just figure heads.

We have a "yoruba leader" that does not care about the yoruba nation but only cares about his own personal ego and empowerment.

Yoruba roun o.

Ngga, you're not Yoruba.

Who knows, this might be nduchucks sef. You came out of hiding to post here abi.

One day you're igbo, the next you're Yoruba, then Ijaw.

It's "Afenifere" and "Yoruba ronu"....fake boi.

Aareonakakanfo:
Holy Cow! Can you please show us some pictures? because i don't think anyone here has ever showed us what the roads in ekiti look like

In 2005 when I went to my village in Ekiti, we had no road, come 2014, we actually have a good road network within the city. I don't know which government made it happen, but the Ekiti Parapo organization all over the US/UK work together to discuss issues within Ekiti. I know about this because my parents are active members.

If you go to Ekiti, especially Ijero and Ikun, you'll see huge houses. A lot of Ekiti families I know are building houses and businesses in Ekiti state.

I was shocked at the 2014 Ekiti, it's quite different from my 2005 visit.

100freekiss:
@IlekeHD your hatred for my igbo people will surely kill you. And you will definitely burn in hell.

Let me see any of your anti-igbo comments again on NL, then I will track you down and deal with you personally. I.m.b.e.c.i.l.e

lalasticala, please do something about this derailer.

Some people will do anything to divert attention from great news

IyaIode:
Ah pounded yam things.

My sister yes o.

Amala is for Ibadan people, iyan is for Ekiti people

*EURweb associate Kiki Ayers caught up with in-demand actor Dayo Okeniyi to discuss in depth his acting journey, his blockbuster films “Hunger Games” and “Terminator Genisys.”
From Nigeria to Indiana and Los Angeles, 27-year-old Okeniyi always knew he wanted to be an actor. Okeniyi always participated in theater and films and within a year of living in LA he landed his first major movie, playing the role of Thresh in “Hunger Games.”
If that’s not impressive enough, the young actor only did one read for the audition, which was taped. The tape was passed around to different producers on the movie before landing in the hands of “Hunger Games” director, Gary Ross.

Aareonakakanfo:
But that's US,we're talking about Nigeria here.E ma fi puff puff we donut

lmaooo If we can have a democratic government, we can implement other "good" ideas.

In contrast to Okeniyi’s position that Hollywood has pushed the boundaries, Oyelowo’s view has seen Hollywood push in the opposite direction. “The success of Empire is indicative of a lie that has been told for years, that nobody would watch a black family on a mainstream network show. It’s the same preconceptions we battled with The Butler, when they told us the movie wouldn’t travel. That film ended up making nearly $200 million worldwide. These are lies upheld by people who want to perpetuate a certain mythology because it serves their own agenda, which is them wanting to see themselves in movies,” he asserted.

He's also the first James bond (audio)

IyaIode:
Meanwhile IlekeHD and missy89 when next you come home, you might want to check one of these places out

i'm more of an ekiti girl lol. Find me the ones in Ondo and Ekiti

I'll try them sha

Aareonakakanfo:
Lol who will create it?

Where do we start from?

These things are bound to happen in any poverty-ridden environment

Greed is also another thing.dem wan use 100 bucks chop 5 million awon ole omo



I'm sorry there's nothing we can do about it

Actually it's possible. Right now, I'm partnering with my city government/ neighborhood associations to figure out the communication barrier between the two and how the gap can be fixed with technological innovation (Citizen Engagement Innovation). It's possible to reduce and/or eradicate this problem with proper communication.

This is why regionalism is important in Nigeria. WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR THIS.

Aareonakakanfo:
IyaIode was talking about Yoruba movies.That one better sef,at least you can still monitor them.Go to Yaba and see what 16 year olds are doing inside Sportsbet. Some of them can role double-6 dice 3 times back to back.Sports betting is the new thing messing up our youths i tell you

And what can we do about this? Can't each community have a neighborhood association?
