Zuckembego:
All Yorùbás call it Ewe Akintola.
It was Akintola that brought the plant to Nigeria and spread it via helicopter according to the history. Where ever the plant grows, the manure is very much better and it is good for farming.
Igbo call it Awolowo because they thought it was Awolowo that brought it down to Nigeria.

That is not true. There is an history behind it but I don't want to talk about it because it does not portray my tribe positively and I don't betray my tribe no matter what (I am not a bastard that uses left hand to describe his father's house).
Thanks.

Why didn't Tinubu appoint a Yoruba from Kwara or Kogi since you're asking who the north is?
Tinubu appointed 7 northerners in 1 week!
What else is political calculation if not regard for the north? Why didn't Tinubu pick Father Kukah a Hausa Christian? You guys just love to deceive yourselves with alternate reality.
What is the difference between the tax bills signed and the existing tax systems? Has VAT changed? The proposal to scrap TETFUND and NASENI for NELFUND, how far with it? Why postpone the implementation?

Mention the names of the 7 appointments Oga.
Let me help you with at least two so you can tell me the five.
He picked a Yoruba man from Kwara (You can tag him as a Northerner, you are right).
He picked another Yoruba from Kogi (You can also call that a northern slot, you are right).
Show me ur own list of the seven appointments.
Tell me again:
Why is the North crying that Jagaban did not favor them in appointment and projects?
Tell me again:
What is ur own definition of North? Northerners of Yoruba extractions like Ojulari from Kwara and the likes?

Shame no dey gree catch una?

Kukutente23:
Lol
I guess you missed this news
https://punchng.com/full-list-tinubu-appoints-ibbs-son-others-as-heads-of-govt-agencies/
And the appointment on fp was occupied by an Easterner before the Yoruba person just appointed. So how does it affect the north when it's even a new and relatively unknown agency

Choosing one Northerner out of about 7 appointments on a role. You call that being afraid of the North?
funny you.
Let me ask you just one question.
Do you think Jagaban's appointment has favoured the North?
Yes or No.

Ttalk:
It is called so in Ogun state and in Lagos state

Okay.

Peterobiisathie:
Tinubu no dey send their papa
Carry goooooooooooo

The North has seen a fearless Southerner for the very first time wey no too rate them. The thing shock them.
E dey pain.

Saclicall:
Exactly the name we are expecting to hear. What an ethnic champion.

But some people said he is afraid of the North.
E dey give the North koba koba back to back. E no rate them at all.
He is not Jonathan. He is a man will balls of steel.

I think it's dishonest of you to dismiss the struggle faced by everyday people with lines like everybody complains. This is a stark reality. Even you no matter how much you may try to paint it are feeling it in your pocket. Take electricity for example. You claim you now enjoy light than ever before. That means you're in band A where you pay 206per kwh. Before this govt, you pay average of 45per kwh. This means at least 400% increase in your light bill. If you used to buy 10k credit to last you a month, presently, you'll be buying at least 40k. Let's not even go near fuel. At 198 per litre, you'll fill a 80L tank for less than 20k. Today at over 800 per litre, it will cost you over 80k to fill same tank. That's just two items out of a whole lot. So how do you claim to save more now and you think it makes sense to anyone? Even if you're earning far more now than before, the fact is in real terms, you're not saving more because your spending has increased by 400% on average except if you're just suffering and smiling.
How can you say Tinubu does not regard the north? Who did he choose Muslim Muslim ticket to entice? Why has he been appointing more northerners then usual lately? Why did he modify the tax reform bill and who was he considering in allowing the modification? If you say there's nothing like North, why are you calling Tinubu a southern president and who are you telling that the south must complete 8 years?
This govt is opaque and not accountable. It is obvious on do many ways. To claim that it is only opposition that says so is to show that you're simply uninformed.

Sorry to bother you again.
Immediately I sent my reply to you, I went on front page against and saw another breaking news that Jagaban as Appointed another Yoruba man again as DG and some Northerners have started crying. Tinubu no dey disappoint. Go and read it on front page to confirm. This is FACT.

Tell me again. HOW IS JAGABAN AFRAID OF NORTH?

TALK O...SHOW PROOF AS I DEY GIVE U PROOF BACK TO BACK TO BACK

How many northerners has he appointed of late? Mention them.
Again. Who are the North? Is it Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi u are calling Northerners?
Jagaban is not and can never be afraid of the North. If u think he does then u don't know his trajectory.
Muslim Muslim ticket to entice the North? You don't understand politics. It was a political calculation.
He is a Muslim which is Minority in the South, it will be a wrong calculation to pick minority from the North. He didn't even pick an Hausa/Fulani man. He picked a Kanuri man instead.
Modified the tax reform? Are u intentionally distorting fact and history?
The North do not want the tax bill at all. The Senate made the amends and the funniest thing you don't know is that wen you are making a proposal, you raise it so high so that wen a reduction wants to be made which will be made, it will aggregate at ur expected point. You don't know politics.
Buhari stepped down RUGA because the South were against it. Jonathan stepped down the implementation of CONFAB because the North were against it. The North roared against the Tax bill but Jagaban never reason them, he passed the bill them began to cry.
Them shout say him no put Northerners for strategic positions he put a Northerner of Yoruba extraction in NNPP and told them he is a Northerner. Yesterday he put a Northerner of Yoruba extraction in another appointment the North shout again say Kogi and Kwara are not North. He put Wike as Minister of a Northern city which has never happened before the North shout them keep quiet.
Tell me.
WHAT IS UR OWN DEFINITION OF AFRAID OF THE NORTH. NA UNTIL HE KILL ALL OF THEM OR COMOT ALL OF THEM FOR POLITICS?

AGAIN!
DEFINE NORTH. WHO ARE THE NORTH?

Who did the opinion poll?
How u take detect say na 98+%?

But we know that, 'It is only a bastard that uses left hand to describe his father's house.'

You know very little.. you would have known that the successor didn't come by votes but by internal workings of the electoral body (remember the glitch).. largely facilitated by the C-in-C.

So, why is Atiku and OBI trying to work as a team since they will still be defeated because the president is in cohort with INEC? Why trying ADC when they know they will lose?
Why raise ur hope in the first place?

You can't sit in a corner of your room and decide for people how they should feel about things. I think it is better you hear from Christians before you decide that. Just a few months back, there was serious agitation for Sharia in SW yet you claim Muslim Muslim is not a threat to Christians. Ok o

You seem unable to differentiate between governance and economy. Standard of living which you answered in 4 is what points towards economy. Governance incurs such things as transparency, accountability, respect for rule of law and democratic norms and freedoms and liberty. This govt is more opaque than ever before with humongous sums smuggled in the budget without any clear plan on what the funds are meant for. The highway of fraud used to settle the President's cronies is still there. What about Removing a state gov? Same thing he once condemned! And worst of all, trust in the judiciary is at its lowest in our national life. What about renovating a building for 39bn in a country where kids are dying due to malnutrition? I can go on and on

As for security, it's instructive you had to go to Jonathan's time to make a comparison because you know for a fact that there's no improvement if you want to compare with the last govt. People are still getting killed and kidnapped including APC bigwigs and even soldiers and security agents. Even Kings and other traditional rulers are not spared. I don't think more needs to be said here

I'm happy you said economy is relative. Now looking at the indices, from the cost of living that spiraled by over 100%, can you honestly say people are having it better now than they ever have? Even you who claimed you have better savings now than four years ago will accept that the cost of living to your pockets has been damning in the past two years if you want to be honest. Even a friend of the President had to sell his rolls royce and start using lowly Honda. Who are you to now claim you're better off? Are you better than the President's friend?

The deep divisions in the country came with APC and I'm happy you used Jonathan as your reference point. From 1999-2015, PDP managed Nigeria's diversity far better than the APC who first had a Buhari who was unrelentingly pro-North and now Tinubu who is afraid to displease the North and still looking to satisfy his SW base. The bottom-line is that the country has not been more divided now than since the Civil war. Just look at this platform to see for yourself how badly our diversity has been managed. It is all on APC and Tinubu has not fared better than Buhari in that regards

Have u urself spoken to all Christians?
You said security has not improved in the last 2 years? Is banditry like it was before? Can u mention the names of the bandits kingpins like we had them during Buhari?
Tinubu is afraid of the North? How? Tinubu is the only southern president who do not regard the North at all. He concentrates more on the the south and North Central than the core North.
Who are even the North? Will a sokoto man decide for a Kwara man or will a Kano man decide how a Taraba man will vote? There is nothing like North.
Luke I said earlier, TINUBU's tenure has been the best for me than during Jonathan and Buhari. Success is relative so I won't blame those who are complaining. People will always complain even the Israelites being led by God to the promise land still complained against God and even demanded to go back to Egypt the land of slavery which shows how insatiable humans are.
Transparency and Accountability is also relative. Government and their supporters will tell u they are transparent. Opposition and antagonists will tell u they are not. Who will them judge transparency? Even the public who ought to be honest judges have pitched their tent to either support or oppose government so their opinions are also biased.
Nigeria has always been divided even before independence. Didn't southwest protest and complained during Jonathan era? Even the South South during Yar'Adua era. Ethnicity is and has always been here with us and it grows worse by the day even the next government will face the same thing.

Why has the master strategist failed to use the trillions Lagos annual budget for employing civil servants who are well paid to provide basic services and utilities? Well paid compared to politicians in public office. Basic services and utilities like free education for all children and water supply.

How come Lagos is a waterless glorified ghetto after 26 years of this master strategist's master plan

But your dream land is Lagos.
Abi ur state get those indices wey u spelt out?

He should call out the governor from his party and use him as a point of contact to other to show that charity begins at home.
Abi, he can't call his governor to order? Is he no longer the LEADER of his party? Is there no party supremacy in Obi's party?

That is how Bolaji Abdullah was making an error yesterday saying Kachukwu was suspended in 2022 until Okinbaloye corrected him that Kachukwu was the ADC presidential candidate in 2023 and came fifth. He tried to argue until e read the signal that he don Bleep up, e just melo.
You come take over party wey u no know the structure thinking it a one man (chairman Nwosu) show. Una never see anything.
What makes it interesting is that the National Chairman declared that he has resigned and automatically a deputy national chairman can lay claims to being an Interim.
That's a party's structure.

You are right there. It seems I am the one missing all the Yoruba things up ooo...Shey I don dey forget my dialect ni bayi?
I call ask my mum to know what it's being called later on in the day. But you are right, it's the local stove that is called Adogan.

Kukutente23:
How do you know the factors are no longer there?
Has the Muslim Muslim configuration of the APC changed?
Has governance improved under APC?
Do people now enjoy better standard of living under APC than before?
Has security improved?
Is the nation less divided than before?
These are the factors I believe helped Obi to get votes in 2023 and I believe they are even worse than in 2023 which means more votes for Obi

No, those factors are no longer there.
1. The Muslim Muslim ticket is no longer a threat to Christians anymore. Some will still vote Obi but no longer on the fear that the Muslim Muslim ticket will discriminate Christians like it was once feared.
2. Governance has improved under Tinubu. All the economic indices have pointed to positives. The Macro economy is reaping the rewards of the reforms. Before 2027 election, the results would have trickled to the Micro economy.
3. There is more security as we don't hear of bombs again like during the era of Jonathan. The current insecurity is common among men all around the world but the government is working on them. Security is not a one time thing, it is successive and continuous.
4. The definition of standard of living defers from individuals. My life is better than four years ago. I have better savings now than four years ago. I enjoy constant electricity than four years ago. It's not the same for everyone that's why I said it is relative. Every America no favor everyone wey go there, some still come back empty handed.
5. The nation has always been divided and till we come to a consensus that everyone should go their separate ways, tribalism and ethnicity will continue to divide us. Jonathan did all his best to please the North but they still showed him pepper because he is not a Northerner and they believe he wanted to take the northern turn. Ethnicity will continue to forever be an issue.

Thanks.

So he should lie about the realities to make tinibu feel good?

He should call out the governor of his party na. Abi no be governors US talk abi na president? Or Alex Otti no be governor for this country abi na APC get all the governors. It means the governor of his party whom he supported to win has also FAILED.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

Including the Governor of his political party right? Alex Otti?
If the Governor of his party is among them he has no point because it shows it is not an APC thing since it's Governors that were mentioned and not President.

those that don't call it that what do they call it?

Note that there are Yorubas in Benin Republic too so this business of states came AFTER

not before the language

Some people in Ondo state call it "Adogan".

You think the West Bank is at peace under Israeli control? It seems you’ve been living under a rock. Just search 'West Bank' on Google and see the atrocities Israel has committed and still continues to commit there. As I said, this war was never about Hamas; it’s about stealing Palestinian land.

Have u heard wars or bombardment in those areas? Don't people fight over issues like the herdsmen and farmers here in Nigeria? Does that excalate to a full blown war?
Show me evidence of full blown war in West Bank or Golan height like its evident in Gaza.
Simplito.

This statistics is not correct.

Obi cant convince obidients to accept him running as a vice. The moment he does that, the movement will break or better still look for another candidate for 2031, that's when those that are obidients because of tribe wld drop the movement and grind something else to do. Most southern will prefer to vote for Tinubu so he can complete his tenure if obi deputise Atiku, even some northern wld prefer Tinubu completes his tenure in 2031 so south will not contest with them in 2031.


Either obi contest as vice to Atiku or contest in a separate party, it's a win win for Tinubu.

This is just what it is, not me supporting Tinubu government.

I am supporting Tinubu government.
My analysis is on point but may not be 100% but no one can deny the fact that Atiku/Obi ticket will give Jagaban a run for his money that for Atiku and OBI to run on different platforms, it will be much easier for Jagaban.
Simplito

Yes we all used to call it Agbari Ojuku in the West. That’s its name. I even called it same yesterday and I am from Lagos.

In Ondo state where I come from it is called "Adogan" not "Agbari Ojukwu" but "Agbari Ojukwu" is not alien to me.

The plant "AKINTOLA" is also well known in Kwara State and some parts of Lagos, e.g. Ikorodu to be precise.

It is often used to stop fresh open wounds from continuous bleeding. It also has other medicinal uses...

My point exactly. The leaf is everywhere but do all Yorubas call is by that name? Ewe AKINTOLA?
