For as long as it is legal for religionists to issue threats of hell fire and eternal damnation to law abiding unbelievers, then the fight against terrorism is yet to start. When it becomes illegal for religionists to be haranguing unbelievers, then the fight against terrorism would have gained a footing. Religion should be confined to private spaces and it should also be unincorporated and then we will have a better world.
I agree with you about government investments of excess money into various companies, BUT remember that population is fast growing in Ekiti and Nigeria, an to beat inflation and increase in cost of construction that Cargo Airport was needed right away. The Naira multibillionaire and legal luminary, Aare Afe Babalola ALSO donated millions of his own personal money into the Ekiti International Cargo Airport construction. I will list the current companies Ekiti State has investments in which includes a Dairy Farm done in partnership with Promasidor.
Milk Day Celebration: Ikun Dairy Farm Hosts Milk Day In Ekiti State
BUT just as I stated in my post that you quoted, Ekitis (even Ijesa folks of Osun State for instance) have a huge Diaspora who are wealthy and business savvy and they can NOW start visiting their homeland to take part in massive investments from around the world.Prince Julius Adelusi of Juli Pharmacy is just one of those multimillionaires of Ekiti descent who's based in Lagos State. There are more folks based in Ibadan, PH, the United States, the United Kingdom, etc. I have studied business trends and demographic distributions for years now. It's a well-known FACT that ethnic groups who have a huge Diaspora population tend to be successful.
RIGHT BELOW are some of the companies Ekiti State has Investments in:
The Ekiti State government has established, revitalized, or holds equity in several companies to drive economic development, particularly in agriculture, infrastructure, and utilities. Key companies and initiatives include:
Fountain Holdings Limited: The state's primary investment holding company, which manages a portfolio of investments and is being repositioned to generate revenue.
Ilu Eye Agro-Trading & Aggregation Company Ltd: Established by the state government to buy back produce, stabilize food prices, and support agriculture.
Ikun Dairy Farm: A joint venture company between the Ekiti State government and Promasidor Nigeria Limited, which was revitalized to produce milk and livestock.
Ikun Dairy Farm, located in Ikun-Ekiti in Mobs LGA, Ekiti State, Nigeria, is a revitalized $5 million agricultural joint venture between Promasidor Nigeria Limited (76% stake) and the Ekiti State Government (24% stake). After being idle for roughly 40 years, the farm now features over 700 high-yielding Jersey cattle and produces fresh milk for local consumption and processing.
Key Aspects of Ikun Dairy Farm: Production & Capacity: The farm focuses on high-yield Jersey cattle, with plans to produce 10,000 liters of milk daily. As of late 2025, it was already producing over 6,000 kg of fresh milk daily.

Ile Iyi Electric Power Company Ltd:Incorporated by the state government to manage electricity provision.
Ekiti State Public Works Corporation: Established to handle direct labor road construction and maintenance.
Gossy Warm Springs Limited: A partnership between the state government and investors, which the government supports for water production.
Ekiti State Development and Investment Promotion Agency (EKDIPA): An agency established to drive investment initiatives, including attracting firms for rice milling and cassava processing.
Ounje Ekiti: A state-sponsored food retail strategy.
Ekiti State Water and Sewerage Company (EKSWSC): A state-owned entity managing water sanitation.
Craneburg EKSG Motorways PLC: A partnership with Craneburg Construction.

That is very impressive. Are you from Ekiti state? I guess the efforts of the state government is why the state was able to generate a lot of VAT. I am happy that the state is not going along with the idea that government should not be in business. If they have gotten the hang on the dairy business they should expand it with an IPO.
AlphaTaikun: Congratulations to the folks of Ekiti State and Nigeria on the FIRST EVER commercial flight into Ekiti State on December 10, 2025. I partly followed the event via livestream and YouTube as the United Nigeria aircraft arrived the well-designed Ekiti International Cargo Airport terminal building.
Kudos to Ogun State as well on the inauguration of the new Gate International Cargo Airport Iperu-Remo. The U.S.-educated Engineer, Abayomi Ogundeyin, has his Pro Force Defence Industries Ltd located in Iperu-Remo hence that airport would further aid industrialization since Ogun State already has the largest number of industries in Nigeria ahead of Lagos State.
Those who are making jest of Ekiti State (on NL and elsewhere) calling this an unviable airport project are indeed clueless about a lot of opportunities in that State, which I'm aware has a huge Diaspora population living around the major population centers of the world with disposable income as business moguls and multimillionaires, professionals in various fields of human endeavor.
Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort was voted for 2 years in a row as the BEST resort in Nigeria ahead of resorts in Lagos State so that says a lot about the tourism potentials of Ekiti State. More indigenes of Ekiti State and others would fly in more via Lagos, Abuja, or PH for investment purposes in agribusiness and more instead of enduring several hours of road trips.
It's a FACT that people in several countries of the world who have huge Diaspora populations like the Ekitis (who are a subgroup of the larger Yoruba folks) tend to achieve more and this airport and the new education and innovation hubs centered around Age Babalola University and other Universities coming up would trigger the formation of more partnerships between the academia and industries in that state. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it.
I did a SWOT analysis on some States in Nigeria from the 1990s and updated these stats over the years and the human and material resources in Ekiti State would definitely grow exponentially especially if value addition from agribusiness products and a strong tech-based hub are firmly rooted in the state for eventual local consumption and export. A rail link from Osogbo to Ado-Ekiti is ALSO important tomlink up directly with Lagos Ports.
I believe the government should have invested any excess money into various companies. Ekiti does not have the population and industry to support a busy airport. The Dangote refinery IPO is coming up and we will see what they will do for their people
dederocs: You sound half baked, well, am speaking from the point of currency valuability, every Nigerian resident win our currency appreciates...it makes no sense to import a product you have advantage on, it makes more sense to process here, benefit from the employments, local contracts and boosting of local productivity for export, to boost our balance of trade advantage. This is the crux, not talking politics am talking economics and numbers. In a free market economy the big can buy out the small.
You don't sound half baked but are actually half baked. Nigerians are not there to help Dangote pay his debts. He should be able to compete given that he got dollars at half rate and the refineries he is competing with are paying multiple times his wages. If he can't compete that will be because of his debts, he should sell the debts, sell the controlling stake in the refinery so that Nigerians will enjoy lower pms prices. I don't expect you to understand though
The service Dangote can do for Nigeria is sell off the controlling stake of the refinery so that the new board can lower pms price. Some middle income countries sell pms at around 400 naira. Nigeria a low income country can sell lower if not that Dangote is controlling the company with high interest debt
What did Jesus teach? He never taught Christianity which was invented by Paul the Apostle. Jesus focussed on and related only with Jews. Of course there are some of his teachings that a reasonable person can agree with but no reasonable person can agree with the core teachings of Christianity invented by Paul. People only agree because they were indoctrinated
One way forward is taxing idle assets. If you abandon a house in a well run country then it may be seized from you to pay property tax. I doubt there is any significant abandoned real estate in Lagos
If there are far more gods than humans, what's the point of being a god?
The Christian God is one Supreme higher being that created every other beings which many includes spirit rulers as well as humans and all other living and non-living things.
The spirit rulers under God's control is what many call gods. But in reality, the gods of men are rebellious spirits that believe that they know a lot about God and godship so they deserve to be worshipper like God Himself.
Because power and knowledge makes one arrogant and rebellious, they thought they could overthrow God with their ringleader, Lucifer
Every human being is owned and controlled by a God and Gods are at different levels of maturity depending on their total number of incarnations. The most matured ones are primary protectors when they are incarnated as male and they can be members of an elite God grid when incarnated as female
Lukuluku69: Face your Ijo Orunmila business and leave the matter of who and who should lead who.
You are not a Muslim.
Or is Whataboutism part of the creed at your gathering?
I asked you a question and you have not attempt to answer rather what are read are going round in circles.
When Uthman the son of Fodio embarked on his Jihad, did his fellow Jihadists left the Cattle heads on the bush, came to Hausa Land, upsets everything of the Hausa Habe Kingdoms and ran back to the same Bush with their cattle all the while leaving the conquered Hausas all to themselves (who I think are so docile that they can't beat the h*ll out of these numbered mauraders (you said they are not much)?
They didn't fight back then when they could have protected their heritage but now that they are so deep in the faith that Uthman and his Puritans foisted on them will now suddenly want to fight back?
While you are chewing on that, is it also part of your Ijo Orunmila creed to be so concerned about Islam and Muslims?
I have explained to you that the leadership of Islam is a security issue. Everyone should be concerned about it. You don't need to be a Muslim to be concerned about it because when it starts, it will reach everywhere.
What happened about the Fulani jihad is that the Fulani had nothing else to fall back on apart from Islam so they took it seriously and became prominent clerics. If you had a sedentary culture with spirituality you can not leave it entirely. In Saudi Arabia they still have what they do that Mohammed will not approve of. How much more the Habe Kings? Uthman Dan Fodio used preaching to turn the heads of his followers to believe the Habe rulers were idolators that should be removed and the majority believed since they had been under indoctrination as a society for centuries
Patiks: Isn't it strange that you guys claim EACH LAND has a it's own separate god?
More strange and pathetic is the ideal of the traditional worshipper claiming there's a god of fertility, another god for prosperity, another for safety, etc.
If your brains and minds understand the concept of a god, then you will understand that there can ONLY be ONE GOD. One of a kind, in a class of His Own without a duplicate or contender. That's the concept of a God!
There are far more Gods than humans but they have leadership
Some one travelling on foot, perhaps on donkeys or horses from let say Timbuktu will get to Iwo before Kanuri cities 🤔.
Orunmila man no use this same thinking cross road o.
I am not a Fulani man but I do know that they are spread all over West Africa. As most of you been taught that Uthman Dan Fodio came from Futa Jalon. So, why he was doing his Jihad and takin over Hausa Habe Kingdoms, was he doing it with his herds of cattle or he left them in the Bush? Lol
Keep up with your hatred for them, actually some of them deserves it but don't come on the a Public Forum to embarrass yourself with this ethnic tinted Revisionist Agenda.
Islam has been in the present day Northern Nigeria before it got to the Yorubas, it was only the Fulani Puritan Jihadists that made it a State Religion in Uthman Dan Fodio. The South West Nigeria was spared because they never had such a Zealots amongst the locals that embraced the faith.
If your Sango studied the Quran, it means he was relatively new and good for him though
So if I say Fulani should not be the only people to lead islam in Nigeria that is hatred for Fulani and not a call for equity in your opinion? If I say Yoruba Muslims also can lead Nigerian Muslims it amounts to hatred for Fulani?. Then what about your own hate for your own people or maybe inferiority complex? It is excusable? I don't hate Fulani and never will. I want Islam and Christianity to be banned from the public but before they are banned I will be against restricting the leadership of Islam in Nigeria to only Fulani.
Uthman Dan Fodio was a town Fulani and town Fulanis had not always existed. Fulani did not have a sedentary culture of their own. They learnt Islam and sedentary lifestyle from cultures that own cities. Originally when Hausa royalty and masses were accepting Islam, where would the Fulani be?
You seem not to understand that something like Islam can not exist in Kanem Borno or Hausa land for up to ten years without being known in Yoruba land simply because they traded with each other and lived among each other. Something can not even exist in North Africa for that long without being known in Nigeria but among people who have cities, long distance traders and etc
Lukuluku69: Where did you read that I said Islam came from the Fulanis?
Ijo Orunmila devotee, common sense should dictate to you and the basic of geography that the itinerary scholars and dervish who travelled from the early Empires that adopted islam as well as traders would have passed through the North Enroute the South West.
I know your fixation with the Fula people, that I can understand but this Revisionist tendencies of yours won't pass.
In the Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa, people likely to have come into contact with Islam are traders, travelers, and scholars along historic trans-Saharan trade routes 🌊. Specifically:
- Hausa people (Niger, Nigeria, Chad) - Fulani people (West Africa, esp. Guinea, Mali, Cameroon) - Tuareg people (Mali, Niger, Algeria) - Kanuri people (Niger, Chad, Nigeria)
These groups often interacted with Muslim traders and scholars from North Africa and the Middle East.
Islam spread in the Sahel through trade and cultural exchange 🌊. The trans-Saharan trade routes played a big role, with Muslim traders sharing Islamic teachings. Empires like the Ghana Empire (9th-13th century), Mali Empire (13th-16th century), and Songhai Empire (15th-16th century) adopted Islam, influencing many groups.
Key factors in Islam's spread: - Trade networks - Scholarly centers like Timbuktu - Rulers adopting Islam
The Hausa, Fulani, Tuareg, and Kanuri peoples were among those influenced.
If Sango studied Quran as you have been brainwashed at your various Ijo Orunmila covens, and if indeed Sango Olukoso studied the Quran, does that not tell you that Sango Olukoso is relatively of younger Creed and Movement?
For Context, this is the year 1447-1448 of the Hijr Calendar, does that mean your Sango much later for him to have studied the Quran? And if I may ask, he was his Teacher or that he spoke Arabic or learn it?
You are just going around in circles. Fact is the Yoruba had Islam before the Fulani who were not a settled people until recently. How will nomads accept Islam when they are in the bush with their cattle? There was no time that there were Muslim traders in Hausa or Kanuri cities that they would not have been in Yoruba cities which were bigger. It is like saying Lagos got something from the North later than Ibadan just because Ibadan is North of Lagos.
Sango lived maybe five hundred years ago. If I believe my own oriki as a Yoruba then I believe Sango's oriki that says he studied the Quran
If pms is selling in some middle income countries at around 400 then it can sell in a low income country in Nigeria for less but it can't happen when a 650,000 barrel per day refinery is owned by one man who is using huge debts at high interests to own it. I have always said Dangote should sell majority of the refinery to investors and like Elon Musk be a highly paid CEO.
If you say oil imports should be banned, then you want the cement sector to happen to the oil sector. We are not here to help Dangote pay debts. The most the government ought to do is to tariff importers not ban imports
Lukuluku69: Sir, Sultan simply means the Sovereign and Emir is derived from the Arabic word Amir, which simply means Leader. Also clipped from the Title of the Four Rightly Guided Khalifa "Amir Al-Muimeen (Leader of the Faithfuls.
Dithering to the Sultan when it comes to Political Islam is actually Islamic in the context of the Nigerian Space. Remember, I told you that Islam says that even when you are just TWO in a Space, appoint a Leader. In the Nigerian Space, the Sultan is the only Sovereign that fits to be properly addressed as such. That doesn't mean the Yorubas are under him or tale authority from him. His proclamations, as regards the commencement of Ramadan, are only for unity and synergy. Nothing more, as a matter of fact, if he erred in that, he will answer for it before God!.
Now coming back to the supposition that Nigeria can break, and what becomes of the Yoruba Muslims in terms of Leadership, well I can tell you that, what you will have is a void and that can be filled by the Scholars but not a single individual as in the case of the Sultan.
Recently, the Oba at Iwo was of the opinion that he can assume the title of Sultan of Yoruba Land (or something in that line) what now happens when he passes and a Christian becomes the Oba at Iwo? Would he still be a Muslim Leader?
And let me quickly correct a notion, sir. Islam has been in the North way before it got down south because those who spread it actually passed thru the Sahel en route to South West Nigeria. Uthman Fodio jihad only made it a State Religion, something no Cleric/Dervish ever attempted in the South West.
I understand people's angst against some Fula elements in Nigeria. I feel their hagemony in the Nigera Space is nauseating to say the least that happens because the British lump us all together. They fused at least 4-5 Nations into one and I can tell you that what we accuse the Fulanis of, the other major tribes in Nigeria would do same if they have the power to do so.
This is Islam, my prayers, my fast, my Zakats etc is for God and not for any Sultan or Alfa. His Leadership is just symbolic.
And many thanks on the good wish Sir!
Nothing can be in Hausa or Kanuri land for twenty years without being known in Yoruba land because they traded together. Therefore islam has been known in Yoruba land for more than five centuries. The oriki of Sango mentioned him as having studied the Quran. The Fulani learnt Islam from settled people ie from Hausa, Yoruba and Kanuri. A few centuries ago, the Fulani were not settled people and until today not all nomadic Fulani are Muslims. Yes islam came from the North but not from the Fulani. The Yoruba ancestors should be commended for holding out against Islam from becoming majority for so long despite having huge cities where people are susceptible to brainwashing
Misterone: Kingdoms are not created based on language but on rulership, and ancestry. The Igbo land never had any kingdoms except Agbor and Onitsha which as from Bini. Now, tell us what Is the basis of you map? Is it of rulership, ancestry or just language?
Agbor and Onitsha were tiny villages when Arochukwu was a city state
GeneralOuki: Did you not understand what he said? You're literally proving his point here. You're just looking at geopolitical zone instead of the actual ethnicity of the people in those zones.
There is no zone where up to ten percent of the population are non indigenes. Sometimes not up to five percent and there is no reason to believe any Northern city at all have more Igbos than Yoruba
franchasofficia: You are still repeating the same mistake and repeating the same song your people always sing.
If Lagos have a population of 40million people, and Yorubas are 20million of that Lagos population, Igbos are around 12million or more of that Lagos population.
If Oyo State is 12million population, Igbos have at least 500k or more of that 12million Oyo population.
If Ondo have 4million population, Igbos make up at least 300k of that Ondo population.
If Ogun is 6million population, Igbos are at least 900k of that Ogun state population.
If Abuja is 18million population, Igbos make up at least 3million of that Abuja population.
Now use your tongue and count your teeth.
Yorubas rarely travel outside Southwest to live permanently, they always brag about this as a great achievement, the only places they travel to in large numbers to live permanently outside Southwest are:
Abroad (outside Nigeria, mostly UK, US, Canada, and some other EU, etc countries unlike Igbos that are in virtually all nations of earth in their large numbers)
Abuja Portharcourt/Warri Kano
But in all the 36 states of Nigeria, after the indigenes of that state, and maybe the second indigenous tribe in that state, Igbos are usually the next most populated tribe in all the 36 states of Nigeria, now what does that tell you?
And when you guys deny this fact, in few hours or days or weeks or months from the day you deny this, same you and your people will come out to taunt or mock Igbos that they don't stay in their region, that they are mostly in other regions and still shouting Biafra, so make una continue to de Bobo unaselves, u guys know the truth that Igbo erika
Another point worthy of note, which also prove that Igbos are more than Yorubas if you take into account, Igbo communities and Igbos politically schemed out of present day Southeast even though the scheming started from British colonial masters who never liked the Igbos for being confrontational to their authority and not having a unified traditional leader they could use to control and rule over Igbos, is the fact that this same Igbos according to global history lost over 3million people during the civil war and have constantly lost youths via Biafra agitation struggles since the end of the civil war, unlike the Yorubas who have never had any major crises that cost them human casualties to the tone of millions.
The truth is there for all that desires it to see that Igbos are more than Yorubas. After Hausas, Igbos are the next most populated tribe in Nigeria, followed by Yorubas, take this to bank
Lagos is not more than 21 to 23 million people not 40 million people. NIN registration is around 12 million. Other southerners there outnumber Igbo while Igbos and Hausa will drag population. Yoruba still are the majority going by the hold they have over the state. In Osun where I stay, non Yoruba are between five to ten percent of the population. In my secondary school in Osun they were not more than five percent and they are from all over the country. These are facts. I worked in Lekki Lagos for one year and I was employing people. I believe the average state is like Osun by having less than ten percent of the population as not coming from the same zone. The total number of Southerners in the North can't be more than ten million. It is easy to disprove this. Just ask someone who went to school in the North to tell you the ethnic makeup of their class but mind that many Hausa children are out of school.
Igbos are not the second in population in all states. Not in my village at least. Hausa have ten times their number and small Igede from Benue have up to five times in my village of ERE Ijesa in Osun state
Once Nigeria breaks up, the dick measuring will stop. It is because of Nigeria that Igbos will be posturing as being equal to Yoruba. An Igbo country will contain less than 30 million people including people claiming not to be Igbo and non indigenes living there while a Yoruba country will contain up to 70 million. If no Nigeria will there be a basis for comparison? So it is Nigeria degrading the Yoruba.
You are just talking of Igbos living in other places, what about millions of Hausa, Yoruba etc living in Igbo land?. A place like Anambra has more Yoruba than Osun has Igbo.
Then the CIA fact book put the number of starvation deaths during the civil war at around 500k and not millions. People just inflate figures for effect because what even was Nigeria's population back then?
What you have are just claims. There is no proof that Igbos outnumber Yoruba or Hausa in any non Igbo city in Nigeria. If Yoruba can outnumber Igbos in every city in Europe and North America where they were counted, how much more northern Nigeria? During the last Jos riots there were more Yoruba Christians killed than Igbos despite that half of the Yoruba are Muslims. Go to Northern schools where everybody converge, do real research and counting and publish it. What you will find is that Yoruba are more
franchasofficia: The actual population of Igbos is more than the actual population of Yorubas if you take into consideration the Igbo communities and people outside Southeast that you guys used post civil war politics of treachery cum divide-and-rule to tag SouthSouth, etc.
The mistake you Yorubas make is believing that Igbo people's vote is only determined by the number of votes counted in Southeast.
Igbo people's vote cut across major cities in Nigeria, from:
1.) Lagos - after Yorubas, Igbos are the next highest voting bloc
2.) Rivers - Igbos contribute to the major voting bloc in this state
3.) Delta state - Igbos contribute a good percentage of the voting population in Delta state.
4.) Ogun and Ondo states - Igbos have a very good voting population here that comes second after the Yoruba indigenous population.
5.) Plateau - Igbos contribute to a good number of voter population here and could be considered the third or fourth voting bloc in terms of tribe.
6.) Kano state - very small voting population but they still represent
7.) Kaduna state - Igbos have a more than small voting population in this state.
8.) Sokoto - Igbos also have a small voting population in this state
9.) Abuja - Igbos are the second or third largest voting population in Abuja
10.) Edo state - Igbos have a relatively small voting population in this state
Let me stop here.
Now tell me which other Nigerian tribe have a full voting population spread all over Nigeria if not the Igbos?
For your information, if a free and fair election is conducted, Bola Tinubu can never win Peter Obi in any Nigerian election, not possible.
Peter Obi won 2023 Presidential election and that was why Tinubu, his inner caucus and APC leaders have been so focused on clipping Peter Obi's wings despite claiming that he came third while leaving Atiku they claimed came second.
Even some of the people that was in the camp of Tinubu that knew what transpired in 2023 have been singing and telling us what happened but you bystanders making noise about supporting Tinubu online out of shalaye don't know the deep truth.
If it's sure for Tinubu and APC as incumbent President and ruling party, let them make electronic transmission of polling unit election result compulsory so we can test the true popularity and acceptability of Tinubu and other contestants in 2027, but they know that Peter Obi floored them under a party without structure and without a single government official or sitting Governor/Senator/Rep/HoA/LGA Chairman/Commissioner/Minister/etc.
Though I know that most of you guys from the Southwest know the truth but your born disdain for Igbos will never allow you guys confess the truth, so continue
But how can Igbo be more than Yoruba? NIN of SW is like three times of SE Internet users of SW is like three times of SE Registered voters of SW is like three times of SE. There are more Yoruba in NC than there are Igbo in the SS This belief does more harm than good to Igbos and it is a widespread belief among the Igbos. Oyo and Ogun have as much population as the entire SE. Where then is the Igbo population going to come from?. This is not about who will win election but about the particular claim that Igbo are more than Yoruba in Nigeria. The reality is that the Yoruba are more than double the population of Igbos in the country. The SW is almost three times the population of the SE. If you know anyone that schooled in the North, ask them to take a census of their classmates and compare the number of Yoruba to the number of Igbo
Igbophobia: So Niger Delta as an independent nation would fight among themselves? So Igbo would fight against Ikwerre in your opinion? Yet Yoruba who are known to always be at each other's jugular would form their own country I In peace?
Why do you people love lying to yourselves? Igbo have lived for thousands of years in our domain without even a unified government and have lived largely in peace with minorities in the Niger Delta. So it's now because you're applying the same divide and rule that has enabled you and Fulani to loot the country dry that you remembered Igbo cannot live in peace with them anymore.
You try sha, but try harder.
Nobody can stop Igbo unification if the Igbo themselves want it. If Nigeria breaks up today, then every ethnic group will align as they wish. State borders will obviously not be final determinant. What happens in the East does not concern the Yoruba and it will not be determined by the Yoruba who have their own issues. If people are speaking the same language then they will ultimately align. Austria and Germany will still align and etc etc. Then there is hardly any group in Nigeria that is not fragmented into different states in a way that does not benefit them
Rashduct4luv: Do you agree that people do kill each other without any religious intonation just like the Russia vs Ukraine war and US (plus UK, Poland and Australia) vs Iraq war? Just these two wars resulted in more than two million deaths! People that are meant to die will die and People that are meant to live will live. Is this the "status quo" you want?
Anyone can die anytime! Death is part of everyone's destiny!
Yes people do kill each other for reasons other than religion but that should not make you support them killing each other over religion. Religion is just another reason or excuse for people to kill each other which did not exist two thousand years ago. We don't need new manmade reasons to kill each other.
There is this narrative that the SW is filled with non indigenes. I grew up in Ilesa Nigeria in Osun state and I can say categorically that the narrative is far from the truth. My primary and secondary school classes had no non Yoruba but there were a few non Yoruba in the secondary school as a whole. I still belong to the WhatsApp groups and non Yoruba in the high school group are not up to five percent from all over the country. In my higher institution at OAU around or less than ten percent of my class was non Yoruba from the SE, NC and SS. In the school as a whole, there are people from all over the country.
There is no state in Nigeria apart from the most cosmopolitan ones where the population of people who are not from the same zone will be up to ten percent. I premise this conclusion on my observation in Osun state. If the whole North is 120 million in population then the number of Southerners there will probably be less than ten million people out of which the number of the Yoruba will be the highest because the Yoruba also have the highest population in the North after the Hausa as indigenes.
No, the SW is not filled with non indigenes and people from the SW are enough in other places to account for the non Yoruba living in the SW.
Delat521: It is a simple statistics bro. even a neophyte political analyst with know that the coming of duo of Atiku would have seen them win the APC then. That's why immediately Obi left, Tinubu so confident that he believes they are already won.
Yes, the dynamic had greatly changed now and I don't see even their chance of win with there combo as bright like 2023, but definitely both will give APC run for their money.
Simple statistics indeed. So people will rig for Atiku in the SE the way they rigged for Obi because Atiku is their father? Igbos will kill two Yoruba in Lagos to make Atiku win? Yoruba Christians will campaign for Atiku? Keep deceiving yourself!
Hedonisco: Nobody "hates" your SW. Everybody outside Yorubas 'hate' your Tinubu. Why is this so hard to understand? You think people love Peter Obi because he is an Igbo man? Try to bring out Hope Uzodimma, Orji Uzor Kalu and other similar blighted Igbo characters and see how they would be thoroughly rejected even by their own people... Yet Yorubas proudly embrace(d) the crook you call bat and yet arrogantly expect other ethnic groups/zones to do same!
This attempt to elevate Tinubu to a deity that is a human representation of Yorubas would bite you people very badly in the future.
You can't prop up a loathesome and intolerable character like Tinubu as an ethnic messiah and not expect very dire consequences. Time would tell.
Why will they hate Tinubu?. Is he the most horrible of Nigerian leaders? They hate him because he is ugly? Because he stole money? Because he failed as a governor?. Tinubu is the most successful governor in Nigeria since the beginning of the fourth republic. Just join hands together with people seeking to get the country dissolved so that we all go and solve our issues separately
Was he supposed to support the ING?. Nothing wrong in supporting Abacha to truncate the ING if he actually did that. He was only wrong to declare himself President. He however is no longer here to defend himself
Hedonisco: Who would the South/South and South East have voted for if not Atiku/Obi? Would it have been Tinubu? Who would Plateau State and the likes have voted for?
You people are something else. Your ugly Tinubu was not an option and is still not an option to anybody outside the South West. Stop concocting ridiculous permutations to force-sell a terribly unsellable product.
All zones don't uniformly hate the SW and love Atiku as you would have us believe. Tell me why they would do that. An ethnic voting is not sure for Atiku or anyone else. You are totally wrong that victory would have been certain for an Atiku Obi ticket. Even the SE would not have been sure for that ticket. Leave emotions and face reality.
donself9: Maybe El rufai is a conman But the bigger conman his Tinubu, el rufai is not holding any state down taking the resources and imposing on any state.
El rufai did not promise people of kaduna one thing nd did another Unlike Tinubu that promise if light no stable in 4yrs dont vote for me, buh want to force his way back
Why are Liein, where did El rufai say he know govt plan to end banditry ... Why is Apc fanatic full of deciet ...what we all watched you still come lie
If you must know ... El rufai is not guilty until proven guilty except say na bourdillion court dem wan use
Na me dis one dey play wayo ... Let Ribadu come out and say All the military strategy naa on phone dem dey discuss am ..olodo
Do you guyz even tbink, or have shame ... How can the NSA be so vulnerable if Rufai can tap his phone why cant Boko haram do it ... Is that not full glare incompetence
If El Rufai gets to court and insists he tapped the phone, what are you going to say next? Nobody knows yet if he is going to plead guilty or not!. If he could say what he said on TV, you can't be sure what he is going to say under oath!. Maybe he wants to go to jail, who knows? He may have chosen to go to jail for reasons known to him.
SpecialAdviser: Sometimes I look at people from here and wonder why the cowardice in demanding a country of their own. I mean they have the population. They have sea access. Even though they are retrogressing in education but at least they have a sizeable educated population. They have the resources both natural and non natural.
Still they are afraid to be on their own. Always begging unity. Unity with people that kill them. SHAME BIG SHAME
More prominent Yoruba than others are actually asking for separation. They wrote the UN at one point and are still on it. It is therefore not true that they are not trying. Boko Haram which is a Kanuri group are doing it violently instead of forming a political party but Yoruba are not using that approach. They can only use such an approach if pushed to the wall.
