Shymm3x:Oga Shymex, Please read my post again! I never said "it cant" function properly! I said "It is not" functioning properly as it should Both dont connote the same thing, l am sure you are aware because l know you are a very brilliant person. ...and again, l gave a "broad and general definition" of a country because l took your question at "face value". It has nothing to do with Awolowo (his words l think were "geographical expression".... that is not what l said. Now, to the main substance of your post: Again, l answer your questions directly: *Yorubas attained their greatest during the ear of "Regional Govt" when Awolowo as Premier of the Western region, developed the West and we were the envy of other regions because we excelled over and above others in all areas (my Ibo brothers will tell you that we excelled in material resources because we stole their money they left behind when they try to secede or that we excelled academically because we stopped them from getting good education or we got our resources because they developed Lagos due to its being a Federal capital! ).The second part of your question: Yorubas were able to achieve this feat because we were able to develop at our own pace.....without being bogged down by those who dont want to "develop" or had other things on their mind or as their priority. Now, take note: We did all these even as a part of the nation Nigeria... not because we secede or revolted against the Federal govt! I will agree this much, "True Fiscal federalism" is the solution to Nigeria's problem .... not breaking into parts through secession, as the Ibos would want it. Let me draw your attention to the fact that as it is today, it will be "an act of excessive greed" for the Ibos to chose to secede..... taking the South-South with them. They could ask for "Regionalism" where like in the early 60's, each region will develop at its own pace. If crude Oil is not the main-stay of Nigeria's economy, with Nigeria investing a lot of resources to get it to the point it is TODAY, then maybe this agitation for secession would be worth considering. If the Ibos are not greedy and truly feel secession is what they want, ask them if they are ready to do it with their "five core Ibo states" ...without drawing the South_South Minorities into it. In that way, Nigeria's "dependent resources" wont be affected ... and the South -South people wont be dragged into a Biafra most of them dont want to be a part of. This is REALITY! But l tell you, if you remove those "oil rich' states from their agitation, you will find out that their agitation will simply die "a natural death"! ![]() How on earth can five states say they want to take what belongs to the whole country and arrogate it to themselves.... all in the name of self determination? I dont even want to go into the merits and demerits of this secession. Lastpage! |
vanbonattel:You are still missing the point here! We Yorubas dont believe in "aggression as a means to an end". This is where we are different from the Ibos. We believe more in "Use of Brain power" to resolve issues, after-all, after the "fight-fight", you will still have to come and "discuss" to solve the problem. And we have the RESULTS TO PROVE IT, in the last 55 years of Nigeria's independence! Look at it this way: When Animals disagree over territory, its a "fight to death and the stronger has to kill the weaker one, to stay alive". But as evolved "higher animals", man has learnt to set-up institutions to "deliberate and find solutions" to the same type of territorial issues... instead do behaving like wild animals. The ability to resolve issues without recourse to "base, animalistic mentality" is a sign of "sophisticated, cranial development"....(look at America made up of over 50 states (like 50 countries), yet it is able to resolve its electoral disputes (even outright rigging as in Al Gore, unlike some African countries like East Africa, Ivory Coast, Liberia which will destroy each other over the same thing) You will agree with me that this is a symptom of "being evolved and sophistication". NB: you have insulted me a few times but l have taken the pains to respond to you in a "civil manner" to still buttress my point that we are "genetically different ....and miles-apart"! That is why l am Yoruba.... and you are Ibo. ![]() Lastpage! |
Shymm3x: Shymm3x: Sir, let's take Kanu, the timing of the agitation, and the mentality/emotions of the average Igbo out of the equation. Let's look at Nigeria with a clear mind - do you actually believe Nigeria is a country and it can function properly like a country? You answer would be the premise for my next post.Bros Shymex, Nigeria is a country ... by geographical definition. It is recognised as a country, by the United Nations and it is soveriegn. can it ("Is it" ...........is quite the correct way to put it) functioning "properly" like a country? The answer to that is "No". It has challenges, huge ones for that matter! from corruption to mal-administration, e.t.c. NB: I have deliberately avoided mentioning that Nnamdi kanu and the many cogent questions l raised earlier... so that we can get a handle on this discussion because like l said, "timing is of essence", in any struggle. NEXT..? Lastpage! |
vanbonattel:Truth hurts...sooo bad and it is difficult to swallow! ![]() Just for example, look at how Yorubas were able to "manage" their loss during the "MKO Abiola annulled election" (by a Northerner in person of Ibrahim Babangida), ......to the point of "immediately" producing a two-time Yoruba President, and now a Vice President and most likely the next President... ....and you will get what l mean when l say they are "sophisticated". That is not boasting, it is just pointing out the obvious. Now, imagine if MKO Abiola and what happened to him were to be of the Ibo race, l am sure, just as you are, that the outcome will be totally different, basically they will come out of it completely ruined, if they even come out at all. That is the difference between the two races. Lastpage! |
Setaje:These are a very cogent questions .....for "discerning minds"! *Why did IPOB not raise this kind of "hell", when they have a better chance of achieving results, (under Jonathan)? *Why did Nnamdi kanu not "air" his Radio Biafra treasonous statements, so loudly, under GEJ, when he would probably recieve a "warm reception"? *Why did the Ibos not show this kind of 'anger' at their Chairmen and Governors, who "collect and loot" their share of the National cake? Yet they waste their energy on Fashola, Governor of Lagos! *WHY NOW? When a Northerner is the President... and a Westerner is the Vice President? A lot of people are asking these same questions! [b]A "school of thought" examines these issues critically and came to the conclusion that" "Ibo agitations are primarily driven by hatred (of the Yorubas), rabid Anger (at the Hausas), "sense of".. and a "plot for" vengeance (towards the Yorubas), Hypocrisy (towards and within their own tribesmen), mischief (at the whole polity, to cause mayhem) and a sense of weakness/failure (for under-achieving, within the Nigerian political spectrum). Thus, such agitations are not only bound to fail as they are based on "non-altruistic and emotional premise", such agitations are viewed with suspicion, by everyone else and therefore not taken seriously. This is a honest assessment, from someone on "the other side" of the divide but then, l wont expect any Ibo person to agree with it because that would be an admission of failure...something which "Ego and Self-pride cum self-delusion", will not permit, .....qualities which the Ibo persona has in very high dosage[/b]. ![]() My Take. Lastpage |
tolastikha:Both, all, everything and nothing! ![]() Just look at how they agitate for "Biafra", then fight for appointments with Buhari, then claim Lagos belongs to them, then say they want to buy the South West, then run-away from their homeland, then want to form "attachee" with South-South due to their crude oil, then come over to contest for election, even in the South West, then claim to be Israelites even though Natenyahu has said Israel has nothing to do with them!.... blah-blah-blah!!! What serious manner of secessionists do that? Even women do better than that now? ....... u nor say our sisters nor know wetin dem want sometimes! ![]() Lastpage! |
Adiwana: Everything is not Federal Govt! As a matter of fact, what the STATE (State Govt and Local Govt) takes from the National Cake, is bigger than what accrues to the Federal Govt, per state! We are focusing too much attention on the Federal govt while neglecting the "Big Criminals"... who are the State Government and Local govt Chairmen who just collect and steal their allocations! Imagine if all "Street Roads" which are the responsibility of Local govt, are tarred and well laid with Gutters? Imagine if the State Government compliments this with Major Roads in the state, well tarred and supported with proper drainage? You think if this is done, anyone will remember we even have or need a federal govt? The point l am making is that until we Nigerians remove this "federal Govt" tribalism and bigotry from our mindset and start stoning these Governors and especially the LGA chairmen, until, then, we will just continue to suffer and go round in circles.

Onyeocha: the solution, and that is the bitter pill Igbos have to swallow, is for, at least, there to be political unity with the north. if the yorubas can do it, then why cant the igbos? get over bitterness and division and threats. there should be diversity in opinions and choices in the south east. do not place your eggs in one political party or in the basket of ethnicism and religionism and regionalism. even europe that was divided into small nation states has united to form a powerful european union...That is an "error of assumption"! Because Yorubas "can do it" ... ....does not mean Ibos can do it as well. In all honesty and truthfulness, .... [size=14pt]Yorubas "can do it' because they are very intelligent, sublime, sophisticated and highly evolved Race.[/size] Now tell me, if those "Gra-Gra, Chest-beating, Hate-filled, Treacherous" Ibos .....have ANY of those qualities? Your guess is as good as mine. Nor be today, Abeg. ![]() Lastpage! |
Opinedecandid:Even these Biafra children are not comfortable saying they are BIAFRANS! ![]() [size=18pt]"Biafra" is DEAD and BURIED, both locally and INTERNATIONALLY! ![]() It only exist in the "Akpu-infested minds" of some Nyamirin clowns.[/size] Britain does not have time for useless rabble-rousers! ![]() Nnamdi kanu is paying the price for his "inherited" "Gra-Gra" and "Chest-beating". He will rot in jail for a long time to come. Other IPOB nuisance will be dealt with accordingly. That Anambara Police Commissioner (Okechukwu) is obviously an IPOB sympathiser, he will be replaced by another who can handle these pesky ants properly. Somebody from MAiduguri will be his replacement. ![]() Lastpage! |
mekaboy:Exactly! Keeping quiet at such INJUSTICE and ABUSE, is no longer an option. Sign Petitions (gather signatures, in video..) to the National Assembly and the Presidency. I tell you, that Old man called Buhari hates this type of Nonsense ...and would do something about it. Buying a Laptop (from the School) should be optional ...and should never be a condition for registration. Honestly, the way students are abused from all angles nowadays, MUST STOP! Just imagine, coming from "elders" who studied on Scholarship with FREE FOOD to boot? Na God go punish that Vice Chancellor... Please mention their names publicly and shame them Lastpage! |

Jascon4:Just dont criticize a statement or call if "False". Show evidence/proof that your position is "TRUE/RIGHT". Only mischievous people just condemn someone's statement without offering a better alternative! Prove it, that my statement are false! I was "fellowshiped" with them for most of my growing-up years. Thank you. Lastpage! |
bugzbunny:God is not the problem .... neither is it religion! God id God and will always be God, irrespective of how anyone feels about Him. God does not need we humans, it is we that need God. Jesus said "as you help that person next to you, you are helping me, (Jesus)! So, there is God in each one of us. The problem with we Nigerians is that we are very "Religious" .... but we lack the spirit of God. In other words, "We practice the RITUALS of RELIGION"..... (Going to Church/Mosque regularly, building big house of worship, dancing and singing and even catching some "fake spirit" at times! ![]() But where we fail is that "We do not practice Religion itself"... Being Truthful, Honest, caring about others, Diligent with others, Steadfast with our duties/work, Love God in our hearts (as opposed to our mouth), "Fair" in our dealings, Speaking the truth always, condemning evil always, e.t.c. So, in the sight of God, we Nigerians are worse than the Atheist!... because the Atheist at least, is truthful about their intentions.... ...... While we pretend to love God but our hearts are very far from him, in reality. Until we change direction, all the G.O's, the cathedrals, the "Camps", the Jets, the Tithes and offerings, ...CANNOT SAVE US. Lastpage! |
ifyalways:But it is in this same country that we APPLAUD those who loot Billions of Naira from our National treasury, applaud those who deprive a 4yr old boy, ....the right to have just one good meal a day? Why do we applaud them? Simply because they are "from my tribe" ...or "my party" ... or "my religion"! "The most dangerous specimens, come in very very minute sizes". The BIGGEST CHARITY anyone can do, is to PREVENT CATASTROPHES (like looting of public funds)..... which is what leads to the need for such charities. We may think it has no effect on us...... but each time we support anything evil, we are indirectly responsible for the sufferings of those innocent children. God is up above, watching us below. ![]() Lastpage! |

olatunji21:Dont mind the Eediot called Dele Momodu!! Who asked him to write us an Epistle? "Frail" my black bottom! The arze-licker has collected a few crumbs and he is now trying to justify his PAY! Dele Momodu has ALWAYS been a disgraceful "praise-singer" since day one. Dezziani should have bought a DRUM for this shameless fool, to complete the drama properly.

EgunMogaji:Sorry Sir! I have two of these (one is actually valued at 35Milla right now and l have been holding it for about 15years now when l bought it way cheap back then ) .. in Eti-Osa LGA.I am still looking forward to the day lt will be ver, very convenient with shuttling between the Area and the extreme Mainland (Ikeja) where l have business. But will l waste the land in building such lengthy setbacks and "security zones".... when l have better and more economic alternatives? Hell-No! Like l said, what we do most times is "conditioned" by our "condition" we are here to learn, irrespective of who we are in real life. You will be surprised whose user i.d l discovered here on Nairaland, by accident Lastpage! |
twinskenny:I spent years doing this for a living Bro. ![]() I used to run a licensed security outfit, in the Diaspora...and l am also "personally" licensed to carry out such duties, not to mention my academic pedigree. But l am not saying this directly at you,....... just sharing knowledge, which is the essence of this thread. No need to "feel" one-kin, we are all one. Cheers. Lastpage! |
Zinicc:Print your bank statements showing such payments or @Aaadonbelieveit ![]() Pants on fire! ![]() Lastpage! |
angiography:Actually, No Yoruba will advocate to leave Nigeria .... The few Eediots like Fayose and that drunken and drug-laden Fani-Kayode spewing such rubbish is doing so because of the Ibo-punnany he is chewing right now .. and the Nnyamirins are applauding his "naked-dance of shame in the Market Square", for their own selfish reasons. Yorubas worked hard, paid the prize with life and blood, to keep Nigeria united, we wont jeopardize what we achieved so far, for some Greedy, self-centred, treacherous tribalist. These Yiibos want to see Yorubas commit the same "foolish error" they committed in 1967..... Yiibos can not be trusted in any way! Just declare Oduduwa Republic today and you will see these "Nnyamirin traitors" support the Northerners to fight against the Yorubas, instead of also walking away. For them, its all about REVENGE AND VENGEANCE! [size=14pt] Yorubas are too intelligent to fall for this type of crap... or into this type of TRAP! [/size]. ![]() Lastpage! |
kadis007:U dey crase o! ![]() This "Biafra" is like "women".... most of the time, she does not know what is good for her, she does not know what she wants and the few times she does, she does not know how to go about getting it. That is why l think its a FRAUD ..... BAIFRAUD! ![]() They are so proud to say l live and work in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, PH....... but hardly wuld you hear them say l live in Umahia or Useluku or some other Eastern states! ![]() Until they all relocate to the erosion-ridden enclave in the BEast, no one is going to take them serious. You cannot be fighting to death for positions in the Nigerian Govt and at the same time be shouting Biafra! That is like trying to eat your cake and having it, .... it's a combination of GREED AND STEWPIDITY! Lastpage! |
Zinicc:The bolded speaks volume! Even you know in the deepest part of your heart that the clown is NOT YORUBA! ![]() He is one of those flat-headed imposters who are not even proud to root for where they came from! ![]() You can pay your tithe to the Devil if you want, nobody cares... ...as long as you pay your TAXES to the Federal Govt of Nigeria, headed by Buhari because if you dont, you will be caught and sent to JAIL. Lastpage! |
Kyase:I thought these "chest-beating, aggressive cowards" were boasting all over the place that Nnamdi Kanu cannot be arrested? They said "he knows what he was doing"? They said "Nigerian Govt had fallen for his tricks"? That was many weeks ago....... You dont mean the Eediot is still languishing in DSS Gulag? Cheesux Christ! When will these people learn? Who will go call now, to help them? Okay, let us call America! graun-graun, ..hello...Helllo, it is me Biafra, calling ... Obama has refused to pick the call! What about Israel's Netanyahu? That one said they are impostors, they are not related to us in any way! Hmmm.... who we go call again now? Issokay o, dearis god! Lastpage! |
TonyeBarcanista:Relax, ...."in the fullness of time", he will have his day in court. You just dont wake-up one day and head to court because you are angry. You gather evidence, plan your strategy, block possible "escape routes", e.t.c Otherwise, these criminals have amassed enough loot to hire the best SANs/Lawyers, bribe "corrupt" Judges who will do everything to frustrate the case and have it thrown out on one technicality! Barcanista, you suppose know all these small-small things now........ or are you just trying to justify your "Pay"? Lastpage! |
Obanikoro: “The exit of my aide @MrFixNigeria from my party means that this account is no longer managed by him – it is a task he performed well.In other words, when you see a stewpid Severeussnake, Chukwudi44 or Barcanista spewing rubbish on behalf of Obanikoro, he could be any of @MrFixNigeria or the current one @tessloconcepts! and probably many anonymous ones we may not even know ... ...... PAID OTIMKPUs we gerrit Obanikoro...... but if you think you can escape, you better think twice TonyeBarcanista:[size=14pt]EKiti-Gate ofcourse![/size] Can we all say "Hi" to @tessloconcepts! ![]() Lastpage! |
comradee1248:\ As in "Cunny-man die, Cunny-man bury am" abi? Lastpage! NB: I noticed that all women on this thread, are siding with the Aproko woman while men are siding with the "Slap-Manager" man? So, it is now a war between men and women,... not "logical reasoning" anymore? |
eleko1:That is how some women use their mouth to destroy their friends home! Imagine! Husband she nor get.... her friend that has husband, she has now destroyed their home? I hope any woman wey get sense they "see-through" this yaawa? As for the Title of the thread, it is very misleading: 1.) the man was not jailed. Remand and Jail are two different things. @Op is likely an illiterate self-servicer. 2.) He was remanded in prison "PENDING" the perfection of his bail conditions. All he need do is get his Lawyer to stand for him and perfect the Bail-bonds.... and out he goes till the next hearing. If l were that man, l will have charged that lady with "Stealing" from my house because l will arrange that money or Gold chain is missing. In fact, l will accuse her of asking me to sleep with her. "Do me, l do you, God nor vex". If she agrees that she came into my house when l slapped her, then she has to explain how she was not responsible for what went missing. Attack is always the best form of defence. Lastpage! |
chukwudi44:Are you becoming senile? Tinubu is not a Senator now? You better take your medicine.... half-dose is dangerous Lastpage! |
emonkey:Fool, Focus on the information he provided and stop attacking his person. He only mentioned that so you will not go off in a tangent about the credibility of his information. I guess you will always find something to yap about. ![]() Lastpage! |
wisino1:Dont be so daft! if the Police invite you for questioning.... and you refuse to attend, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL FOLLOW, IF NOT TO ARREST YOU? I guess some of you think because he was former NSA.... or was GEJ's right hand man used to attempt to scuttle the last election, he is above the law! Well, guess you are wrong. Those who have nothing to hide, always respond to Police invitation. That Weapons import scam needs to be properly probed. Dansuki should cooperate. Lastpage! |
