Politics / Re: Will the Opposition Come Close to Winning Lagos? by ImperialYoruba: 4:28pm On Aug 06, 2023
Efewestern:


LP outperform PDP actually. Agbaje had the goodwill of his people, GVB didn't. If Abaje had contested this year under LP and with the new electoral laws in place, it would have been a total massacre.

GVB made it too easy to demarket and discredit him. Some things said during the campaign season were unnecessary. LP had the Obi wave to ride on, Agbaje didn't enjoy any of these luxury.


So will there be Obi wave to ride on in a Lagos of 2027 or thereafter? The Ibo rise in Lagos has crested, without any political victory to point to. Everything from here on is fenced, and ibo is outside that fence.

PDP recorded best results as opposition and never displaced APC. LP performance was not anywhere close to PDP achievement over the years. So how did you arrive at a proposition of LP toppling APC in future when the data clearly does not justify it?

Kambari of Niger state

Kyambari.

Before Fulani, three major ethnics existed in what is now North Nigeria - Hausa, Gambari (Kyambari) and Kanuri.

Kyambari (also spelt as Kyamberi) is an ancient ethnic group, previously powerful but decimated by getting caught in the crosshairs of multiple wars. They were a people on banks of River Niger across current day Kebbi and Niger states.

Yoruba, Baruba and Hausa call them Gambari. In old Oyo they had a titular post. They still do in Ilorin till today. They also do in Ningi and I believe in either Sokoto or Gwandu.

Politics / Re: Would Niger And Her People Have Disrespected Nigeria If Obi Was President? by ImperialYoruba: 7:05am On Aug 06, 2023
Penguin2:
About 2 days ago, we saw a video of the people of Niger Republic protesting with a banner of Tinubu with some unpleasant pictures of his printed on the banner. But it didn’t stop at the pictures, the changed his first name from “Bola” to “Ebola”, and labeled him “the illegitimate son of Joe Biden.”

We may argue that the coup plotters sponsored the protesters and printed the banner for them and wrote what the banner contained on it, but they did that because they have such perception of Tinubu.

With multiple international reports of Election Observers from ECOWAS to US to EU, condemning the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria as a sham, these countries came to know that it’s not who won the election in Nigeria that was declared and that the person that was declared is standing on a very shaky ground.

Add that to the fact that most of these people are on social media and have consumed loads and loads of information, pleasant and unpleasant, about the man who is piloting the affairs of Nigeria.

All these have added up to inform why the coup plotters in Niger would call the bluff of Nigeria (something that has never happened in our history), with unverified report claiming the coup plotters called Tinubu illegitimate. It is also the reason Nigeriens would protest with provocative pictures and inscription against the president of Nigeria.

These things got me thinking….

Would Nigeriens and the coupists have reacted the same way if Peter Obi was President?

Would the citizens have found funny pictures of Obi to put in their banner?

Would they have called him illegitimate since there wouldn’t have been such narrative around his presidency?

Or is this a case of other/smaller countries who used to hold us in awe, disrespecting us because we first disrespected ourself?

If Obi was President he would not have been chairman of ECOWAS.

As next door neighbour he dared not oppose the coup in public. If he did Niger would have invaded with help of their Northern cousins and booted Obi out.

Politics / Re: Yorubas And Igbos Should Never Have Been Put Together In One Country by ImperialYoruba: 5:57am On Aug 06, 2023
gidgiddy:
Igbos and Yorubas are amongst the largest ethnic groups in Africa, but both have never seen eye to eye politically. Despite both ethnic groups having achieved a lot, both of them dont think much of each other. While both ethnic groups have largely tolerated each other, both are eternal political enemies. The beneficiary of all this has been the North

This political fight between Yorubas between Igbos and Yorubas is happening because they are in one country. Before the British came to lump both tribes in one country, they hardly knew each other.

Had Yorubas and Igbos been in separate countries, they would not be political enemies today as there would be nothing to fight about

The British colonial project called Nigeria has proved to be a colossal disaster and anyone who thinks it will last forever is dreaming. Someday, everyone will finally agree that Nigeria cannot work, and opt for peaceful dissolution

When Yorubas and Igbos finally get their seperate countries, they will be great friends since there will be no Nigeria to fight over any more

Please, when you list large groups on the continent, don't include Ibo. Yoruba yes, but how is Ibo ever a large group in Africa?

Not true. The word Oshodi in nupe could mean a different thing, same way Ife( love) in yoruba also means different things in different tribes. Ife in ibo is different from ife in yoruba.

I used to see Jide too on ibo buses but jide in ibo is different from jide in yoruba. You see. Even in same yoruba, the word Ife has different meanings and pronunciation. Oshodin and oshodi are same pronunciation. The only difference is the "N" . Edos were the first occupants in Lagos and we're not disputing that. not Nupe. All the Lagos Obas used to be taken back to edo for burial until about 150 years ago. Their regalia till date is similar to that of bini chiefs. Most of the names given to compounds on Lagos Island had edo meaning. Oshodin or orshodi and iga aren't yoruba words but that of Edo. That oshodi is also a nupe word doesn't make it relevant in the lagos formation, neither does it mean same thing.

It's also never mentioned in history that nupe were among the early settlers in Lagos. If you had mentioned kwara, kogi and some parts of middle belt regions as places where Nuoe had settled in the early days, I'd have said you're right.

I am actually disputing this claim of Edo being first in Lagos. This is untrue.

What you all refer to as Edo in history is a revision, and only a highlight of political turf definitions in independent Nigeria.

From 1960 backwards history speaks of Bini Kingdom. There was never anything known as Edo Kingdom.

So before going into contention on who was first settler in Lagos, first resolve yourself on which of the two will be your point of reference....an ancient Bini or a modern Edo.

Return here when you are ready, and cc me. grin

GOD, PLEASE SAVE YOUR CHILDREN IN AFRICA FROM THEIR LOST CONDITION.

THEY ARE GLORIFYING THE NAMES OF THEIR ENSLAVERS AND KILLERS.

THEY ARE TOTALLY LOST.

KAI.




Nobody denies these are foreign names. Yoruba names are not just names, they are links to a ancestry. They are like a rope from past to the future. As new children are born into that past they grab the rope. When they bear their own children they tie them to this rope. It continues as a ritual and a tradition.
So when someone who was detached from this rope arrives they need to find their own point of attachment in it. For many of these returnees they could not. There are records of very few who were able to reunite into their ancestry but those are negligible. Also, many have assimilated back by dumping their foreign names and adopting a general Yoruba name. Those who continue to bear these names have no reason not to, because a sense of achievement or recognition is attached to them. If it ever comes a time when it is a burden to have these names, trust me they will dump them. Its just human nature. That time and moment has not happened for them, so there is no dis-incentive to drop it.

Great! Updated. Thank you for sharing.
Amen! And you too sir. Updated. Thank you for sharing!

This is quite a compilation. I don't know if Cardoso is already listed.

As at 1855, Yoruba resettlers with English family names followed missionary settlements. These were mostly in Abeokuta. There were yet to be missionary work in Lagos in this period. Thus names like Williams, Bank-Anthony, Coker, Cole, Rhodes Vivour, Crowther, Randle....were settlers first in Abeokuta. They had a second resettlement, from Abeokuta to Lagos.

What brought them to Lagos were English influence and followed after 1865 when Lagos became colony and missionary churches and schools were taking off. These Anglo-Yorubas were the pioneers of christianity and English teaching in Lagos, and formed the elite of new Lagos.

Prior to this period and before Lagos was ceded, Latino-Yorubas were the main resettlers from slavery. Names like Carrena, DaRocha, Cardoso, Salvadore, and so on.

The two - Latino and Anglo - were settled into different camps and creeds. The Latino group is the Kiriyo (Krio, Creole) and the Anglo group is Aguda.

The Kiriyo inhabited Ajele (Campos/Kakawa) The Aguda inhabited Olowogbowo. Tinubu square is the dividing line between the two clans.

This explains why churches in the Ajele area are mostly Catholic, and in Olowogbowo you typically find Methodist.

In addition, you will never find names like Crowther, Macauley, Williams, Cole, in the ancestry line of families in the Ajele area. Just as Soares and Salvadore are non existent in Olowogbowo ancestry line.

To conclude, Epetedo did not exist before 1861. Olowogbowo also did not exist before 1865. We know the inhabitants of Olowogbowo were resettlers from Abeokuta. How about the families in Epetedo, where did they come from?

There are 21 family compounds in Epetedo. Prior to the bombardment of Lagos their original abode was Ereko. I don't want to elaborate much on this because we are on public forum and revealing their origin in Ereko might also submit a part of Lagos history that we Lagos indigenes need to keep locked up and accessible only to very few originals. Ereko existed as an ancient community. The only other community older in Lagos Island is Isale Eko proper.

When I say Isale Eko proper...if it is not prefixed by "IDU", it is Isale Eko modern. grin grin

. [s] Firstly, I have continued to see and watch with great amazement and puzzle about how this Niger coup has been turned into a tribal fight.

There is something called analysis, I know tribalists are completely clueless about that practice, I will tell you. Adamu Garba, Shehu Sani, even I AM NOT AN IGBO, but it doesn't take an IGBO to have common sense especially when you see a good opportunity for Africa and the Black man to finally really be free so that their can be progress.

It is quite surprising that people like Reno Omokri, a very staunch tribalist, who's become a completely dedicated full time IGBO hater has become the adopted anti-Igbo mouth piece here.

Only a st*pid and ignorant madman will support the invasion of a sovereign country cause of a popular undoing in their own country. A foolish decision that will finally divide Africa as we know and specifically turn Nigeria into the enemy of all. Borkina Faso, Mali, Guinea, Algeria are openly in support of the military junta, many other African countries and the vast majority of Africans especially the young people are fully in support.
IT IS QUITE SUPRISING AND EVEN DISHEARTENING THAT THE IGBOS HAVE BEEN TURNED TO THE MAJOR ENEMIES OF THESE STRUGGLE.

My grandfather and a vast host of others, from Southern Kaduna, fourth in the Nigerian Civil War, he became a Military Police after being short in the shoulder. What I am saying is this, a second civil war in Nigeria WILL NOT be one against the igbos, they will not be alone in a second go. THIS IS A VERY LOUD PROMISE!!!. [/s]

Politics / Re: Accolades For Kwankwaso As He Turned Down Tinubu's Olives Branch by ImperialYoruba: 4:44pm On Aug 03, 2023
Itrybe:
By Abdulmalik Suleiman

The National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has been receiving accolades and praises for turning down the offer to join the Government of National Unity being proposed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The decision came after citing several reasons that many members of Kwankwassiyya movement and the NNPP consider incompatible with the founding philosophy of the movement and the party.

Both leaders a few months ago had reportedly met in France to concretize arrangements that would ensure the participation of the opposition parties in the Tinubu-led government.

But the major waged between both leaders is that Sen. Kwankwaso is a pro-masses, a selfless leader whose major concern is the general welfare of the people especially in areas of education, empowerment, social reorientation, security, and good government.

The clear differences in their individual ideologies greatly affected the France deal and talks reached after a series of meetings in France which have since evaporated into thin air.

Members of the Kwankwassiyya movement including NNPP have continued to accuse the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government of implementing and carrying out anti-people's programmes and policies which is considered inimical to the philosophy of the NNPP.

They cited the haste removal of fuel subsidies without proper plans on how to cushion the effects by the government as one such which has continued to inflict pains on Nigerians.

Specifically, Sen. Kwankwaso's group flay the poor management of the decision by the government saying it would be bad for their leader to participate in such government or to be part of the current government.

It is also believed that the decision of Sen. Kwankwaso to stay out of the government will remove the belief that Kwankwaso worked for APC in the last round of the general election, an allegation which was untrue and concocted by APC propaganda machine to smear and weaken NNPP base and to hoodwink the electorates in the northern parts of the country.

Another sour point in the relations between the two parties is the decision of the current government to appoint people tagged with engaging in corruption and corrupt practices into government.

Sen. Kwankwaso can't be seen with characters like Ganduje who was caught stuffing dollars in his pocket and is now being appointed National chairman of the ruling party.

In the main time, Sen. Kwankwaso intends to build a virile constructive opposition coalition movement via NNPP and with other like-minds across the country.

These notwithstanding, the personal relationship with President Bola Tinubu who is a long-time political friend with Sen. Kwankwaso would remain cordial and will remain the same despite turning down the olive branch by the President.

Kwankwaso is returning to PDP to run in 2027.

The Senate is currently headed by another EFCC regular, Senator Akpabio still under prosecution for stealing billions

Nigeria is under siege, corruption is winning...

There is no human anywhere, anytime, who has direct access and control on the finance of govt at local, state and federal level, and will not be corrupted to dip hand in it. Nobody!

If you are in control of 1million and you pocket 100,000, remember to distribute 500,000 towards education, healthcare, transportation, welfare. Use 200,000 to care for orphans, nursing mothers, elderly, handicap. Save rest 200,000 for rainy day.

Our politicians are pocketing 500,000. They spend 300,000 on their family. Use 100,000 on side chicks. Na only 100,000 they spend on road construction. Then they lie and say 1million spent on road.

You are correct. By default, state control their own appointments, but a direct request can be made for specific individuals. This is why certain states end with two or more ministers.How many of these ministrrs does Tinubu really know at personal or political level? Very few, but he must now work with them. If he had his choice to pick who he trusts and believes in to deliver the job many of them will not make it. In fact some states will not get a minister.

Many of the people on the ministrrial list are below what Tinubu will accept, butbhis hands are tied. If he intends to run and win these states in 2027, he must honor their choices, even the bad ones.

We need to begin scrutinizing states more and hold them to accountability in the affairs of the nation.

Ministerial candidates are results of local politics and lobbying. APC stakeholders at state level select candidates, the Presidency has no hand in it. Usually states have 3 or more candidates and are ranked. The nominees are forwarded to DSS for security clearance. If a nominee does not pass the test, next candidate in line from that state is submitted to go through same process, until a suitable candidate is found. This is why selection and anniuncements take time. It is rigorous.

The people you flawed up there are responsibilities of state partymen. Blame the state, not federal.

I'm living the after effects of the just concluded election.

Who says the youth can't have a voice when they speak with one voice

Your inference do not apply to Tinubu. He is known to recognize and promote youths long before this election.

As Governor Tinubu's administration was filled with young professionals. If you dont believe go in his past and check. Tinubu has been believing in youths before youths believed in themselves.

Politics / Re: Tinubu Restore Electricity or use Bombers To Bring Down Any Dam Built By Niger by ImperialYoruba: 12:38am On Aug 03, 2023
AlexBells:
Tinubu has drawn the first blood, Cutting Niger Electricity to me is a NO, there was an agreement to that effect and not that Niger could not build their own electricity, the agreement was that they don’t build electric dam over the Niger, divert or alter its flow in exchange for a supply of electricity from Nigeria, if anything goes wrong with the flow of the River Niger, millions will die in Nigeria especially in the North that depends on this River for Irrigation farming, fishing and transportation.

Tinubu should approach this Niger issue with caution, Niger have many ace over us in this situation, it is a war building up, I don’t know who is advising him, this is war already, there would be retaliation, Tinubu should restore these people’s electricity and get back to dialogue, I don’t know why we like going back on agreement, this was same thing that happened after Aburi accord.


Use this energy to campaign against Ekpa so your people can stop fleeing to other regions as 'fugees. grin cheesy cheesy grin
