dokyOloye:Bt it ws on record ur ancestors surrendered to his father n he treated dem wit dignity before handing ur defeated generals to Gowon. I know ur col achuzie, d Hannibal cannot say d same trash as u just dd abt obasanjo. Yes, u ppl ar very brave mor dan d yorubas u claimed bt a pocket of unorganized Fulani herdsmen hv bn terrorizing ur community n u ppl scampered for safety in neighboring villages n Lagos n d entire sw for safety. Nw compared to d yorubas faced from an organized caliphate army for hundred yrs. They dd nt rest until d advance of d caliphate force ws halted wit d birth of Ibadan n d subservience of Ilorin to d olubadan before d British set it free. D emir even gave hs daughter to d den olubadan as a sign of goodwill to forestall further attack from Ibadan. And y shd I leave d comfort of my region wen God hs blessed d yorubas wit everything; gd weather, topography, economy, ppl, tourist attraction. I don't expect better from u, esp nw dat we kno dat som of u may be d product of cucumber. Omo igi. Get a life. D yorubas ar d standard by which u measure ur achievement in all spheres of life. Go n hug a transformer. Para e! |
steppin:No doubt u ar Igbo. U ppl ar filled with disdain n intolerance for other ppl's faiths n customs. Instead of a holistic approach to issues u decided to denigrate other ppl faith because of d action of one man who u don't even understand y dey act d way dey do. Wen ws d last tym u came out to protest d killing of innocent n young Palestinians, or d families murdered by d imperial powers of d west n Russia or d recent genocide against d shite in Kaduna? Though two wrongs don't make a right. Bt wen will u ppl learn to treat issues without senseless madness? If u truly respect ur own religion, u definitely will respect dat of others. It s stupid comments like urs dat always elicit violence from mad Muslims like ursef. Get a life. |
dre11:This was d same kind of trick a lady pulled on d men of navy when she broke d convoy of a very snr officer. Her act while contradicting Intl traffic regulations d men of d navy were sanctioned based on sentiment cos d father of d lady worked at d Natl Assembly. Sometimes ladies will accuse innocent men of rape or an attempt of it n some ppl lives hv bn destroyed as a result of ds act. Bt ds one dd nt work. Shame to d devil. |
IVORY2009:ordinary w2 u said? do u know hw many yrs it takes to become a WO in d armed forces? |
Godprotectigbos:D earlier u remember d land u left behind n stop deceiving ursef abt d status of Lagos d better for u n ur ppl. We d indigenous lagosians v a saying dat "owo eko, eko l'ongbe" Meaning: all u achieve in Lagos remains in Lagos. Tym will tell, if its d Commonwealth for d "idejos" n d "karo o jire" ppl. Keep making it great. We enjoy ur patronage. As for d lagoon u mentioned, it sucks only d bloods of d initiated. Aki fi omo ore b'ore! Come n build more jare. Eko akete ilu ogbon. Welcome to Lagos. |
basilo102:U may continue to seek solace in dat assertion of urs. Bt in some climes good names n moral standing s important. I doubt if anyone will name dere child Lawrence Anini or Billy the kid. Some names were etched deep in our memory cos of d goodness dat s associated wit dem. |
ShootToKill:D ovulating amazons of Dahomey u said. Wel thank ur ancestors dey were fortunate enorf nt to witness d damages dere menstrual spillage cld cause. And talking of d emirate, its already at ur backyard. The whole kingdoms in hausaland has Hausa-speaking kings with Fulani blood. A big chunk of ur leaders today ar tied to d emirate for survival. Ever asked y ur beloved Rochas s building biggest mosques in d heart of igboland? Even d men of igbo blood in d military who had risen to d top always demonstrated dere allegiance to dat same emirate by being hausa-speaking. Check which of one of dem s nt at least fluent in Hausa or Yoruba? Stop deceiving ursef which empty chest beating d solution lies in a united southern front n agenda. D death of any single southerner irrespective of zone shd b a concern to d other southern groups. Till den we ar all chasing a mirage. |
They v started again. Eniti ko ni iru eni, ko le mo iyi eni.
Dey envy wot dey don't v.
Ppl, simply ignore dem! |
Wot happened in ondo shd b a concern for d yorubas. if u observed d trend of d argument u will c wu ar d ppl dat wanted Tinubu humbled. We don't share same affinities n it will be hard for ds ppl to understand hw we feel abt d administration of our land. So sweat nt trying to convince anyone wu s nt one of us. One thing I do kno for sure s dat Tinubu ws trained in d street. He sure does kno hw to fend for himself. Only tym will tel wu d real winner is. I rest my case. |
What's with the ibo n dere support for all things morally bankrupt ds days. The Ibos I read abt n read dere literatures ar a tribe of dignified group of people. I remember my favourite teachers Mrs Ochuba, Ms Ugbade, Mrs Mgbemina, Mr Osondu, Mr Ohwi n my principal chief II Udeze. My Friends Anyanwu, Osuji, Okechukwu, Chioma Obi n others. Dey were all proud n dignified people. Ds ppl taught me to b upright in life. Who ar ds ppl dat ar always at d fore front of everything dat s ignoble claiming to b ibos? Is everything truly alright? |
NwaEzefuNaMba:The seat ought to be declared vacant in a clime where things work. Senators who just decamped to a ruling party most definitely lack ideology and ar only motivated by personal gains and aggrandisement. We the people in most cases need not take such crops of politicians seriously. Atiku falls into such category on the highest highest degree. But back to the decamping, lets nt forget PDP set dat terrible antecedent. Remember d cases of Obanikoro n Dosunmu wen dey decamped from AD to PDP from Lagos State, d den govt of Lagos n d AD seek for those seats to be declared vacant. But simply because d PDP men den lacked moral dey illegally usurped d seats for dere party. So today d same evil men are kicking against d same evil dey introduced into our system. While i dont like politicians who ar dumping dere parties just to join d ruling train, bt we must teach ds self centered politicians we ar nt fools. |
EternalTruths:One thing d irredentist agitators always forget is to put dere destiny in dere own hands. Earlier it ws UN coming to dere rescue, nw hinging it on America will b more disappointing dan d last tym. We shd nt forget Trump belongs to d Republican, a conservative force formed by descendants of d former slave owners. These ppl owned d defense industries n dey thrive on war n bloodshed. Clinton's loss in dat election ws based on gender n d realities she represents. Ds ppl need war n dey v succeeded in installing a tough-talking man who will giv it to dem. If Trump don't sell, Nigerian govt will still source its weapons elsewhere. And besides ds external forces ar more comfortable dealing wit d kind of govt we v in Nigeria than for a straight-thinking southerner to b in charge. The solutn lies with us. And until we v a united southern front we ar just deceiving ourselves. D British cum Fulani oligarchy hv us where dey wanted d southern hordes to b- at each others throats. We ar in d south ar d most stupid ppl. Foolish Yoruba n Igbo youths keep up d fight. While d north s reaping d benefits. U ar all where dey wanted u to be! |
The beginning of yet another encroachment. Ds man s planning sth |
zendy:Is it not criminal to kill security personnel and hinder free movement of other law abiding citizens? Or is it proper hauling stones at armed soldiers or attempting to disarm them of their rifles? So the amnesty international deemed it normal for the Israeli troop to respond with "commensurate" when provoked by armless Palestinians but a Nigerian soldier should lose his rifle to overzealous youths? If the soldiers should be brought to book for ensuring stability in that region then the mobilisers should also be tried for inciting innocent people to their death! |
ganisucks:Ur comment exposed ur ignorance of wot actually transpired. The us used an unorthodox means to torture information out of muslim prisoners which i believed would have attracted a huge cry if employed on Nigerians. The info revealed a dead end figure named Al-Kuwaiti. He was a ghost n a cold lead until the pakistani intelligence supplied them with a compehensive list of phone numbers of suspected alqaeda members n sympathisers. Dat list helped d CIA to localise dere search dat vital link to Osama. So u see d importance of local cooperation n intelligence? Maybe u dont know d special forces of d navy n army used d same tactics in borno area to eliminate some arrow heads of boko haram n some of dere affiliates. They dd nt make noise abt it cos of d sensitiv nature of d operation which is ongoing. Even if dey start striking militants in sting operations like dat in d niger delta area i'm sure ppl like u will still criticise dem. D US went public abt d operation to avoid diplomatic rows abt d sovereignty of d concerned nations before bloggers who already had inkling of d operation beat dem to it. Learn to appreciate d gallant men n women of d Nigerian military who put dere lives at stake each time ur 'people' create instability in any guise. Remember dey hv families too. Who cares for dere loved ones after dere demise in those operations? In d niger delta, d ppl ar d militants, d militants ar d ppl. When new faces ar seen around in ur community u shd kno sth is fishy. D army no matter hw powerful will need a lot of local intelligence for a successful campaign, unless it is planning an indescriminate bombardmt which will create heavy collateral damage in its wake. Which if u dont kno dat option would hv been easiest for our armed forces. Bombard n start counting bodies later. But they chose to b humane by going for d main culprits only even at a some loss to lives of its personnel, so d communities shd do better to supply needed intel. |
Babysho:If u must become 'successful' writing you need to develop more confidence n believe in yourself. Learn and build on d style n experience of d masters bt never compare ur works with their's cos evry writer has his or her own unique style. Ur deviation from d norms is what will stand u out from d crowd. And u see one truth u are missing about those great works from d masters is a collaborative efforts of many masters. Some other experts like proofreaders, editors have had their inputs to polish the works to d shining masterpiece u now admire. As a newbie start ur book by writing without editing. By doing this u allow ur creativity to flow without censorship. When u are done writing the entire book, then start editing and ur rewrite. You can even outsource this to fresh eyes on microjob sites likw fiverr, odesk, upwork for peanuts. Their is an army of creative experts who will bring out d glow in ur work on those sites. I think this will help. Just my own opinion though. |
Whenever I read abt d stupid acts of fayose who ought to be governing his state bt has chosen public display of madness over governance I pity d lot of d gd ppl of ekiti state. Most of d ppl who praising hm are non yorubas from a section of nigeria. I believed dey resorted to this to mock d yorubas race, an enlightened people for producing such a character to an important office. We are known for being courteous n respective n strict observance of social decorums. In yorubaland ur thoughts ought to be articulated in public with a an elevated oratory eloquence laced with befiting proverbs n carefully selected words. A yoruba person is a good public speaker n likes to court positive public attention. We were taught to cherish n protect our family name. What is unknown to many is that there is problem in ekiti beyond fayose's control. He is just trying to hide his inability to solve dem with d magic wand he promised d ekiti electorates by creating distraction n diversion from his failures to lure d public to things that are of no consequence to him nor relevance to d realities of d ekiti ppl. Hw a highly educated ppl got trapped into ds vagaries still remain a mystery to all well meaning nigerian. He has not offer any opposition to d ruling govt bt has just succeeded in making a caricuture of himself n d office he represents. A responsible governor would have presented his case before the national assembly in a well articulated manner than d useless dramatization n show of shame he is pulling off. Powers n functions are clearly defined in a federal structure n opposition should be robust n constructive nt a mockery of democracy. This madness should stop! |
Leopantro:You are quite right jare. Look at how stupid the idiot has made of himself just trying to play the tribal card. So let's ask the fool what he has to say now that slot has apologised. The mod should have slammed a permanent ban on d fool. |
madridguy:I never liked FFK aside his oratorial prowess. But I saw reasons in what he had said. He was right on point. Always look at issues raised objectively before reacting. And that is the problem with most yoruba n igbo youths. They respond based on sentiments rather than conception. You actually acted like the omo ale (a bastard) here. Ask yourself where was the DSS when northerners slaughtered defenceless yorubas on their own soil in mile 12? Abi spilling d blood of ur tribesmen in cold blood doesnt move u to anger? Where were they when the fulani herdsman invaded n destroyed agatu, nasarawa, some places in the southeast n others? Isnt dat a national threat? Abi u are suffering from mental dementia to remember ni? My mother is fulani bt im yoruba, words cannot describe how terribly bad i feel when i hear such destruction by a group of people and d govt have done nothing to put such in check. Let d ibo n yoruba folks continue to be at each other throat when d enemy is already at d backyard. FFK is right on point this time, only a mad person will ignore him ds time. Meanwhile the director of DSS should resign for his role in this. He is too partial to continue the job. All lives count n matter.every public officers and security agents must be seen discharging their duties without prejudice. No one has the right to take the life of another bt evry nigerian life is sacred n most be protected under the law. |
jaydee8:Though I appreciate merit and all it represents. The truth is Nigerian politician are fraud. It is fine if the guy is given a good offers n he is seen being courted in professional circles instead of with these wolves who call themselves politicians trying to score cheap points. In the first place werent they the people that destroyed the educational system in Nigeria n made it so difficult to have more Ayodele? Ayodele may be a genius but the creativity of many students were stiffled under a very unconducive environment in most schools these days. In some schools like polytechnics esp, scripts of lower level students are given to some higher level students to mark. The level of intelligence of these students are nt even d consideratn for giving dem scripts to mark bt rather dere closeness to such lecturers. Tell me what you expect of such system. The politicians shd bring all their children to public schools. It should even be a criteria to get elected. |
Lets blame d pastor less cos sometimes as a man of God it might nt be a good move to hand over his church members to d authorities. Clergies hear worst confessions evrydy n i dont tink dey ar obliged by law to report such confessions to d authority. I tink maybe d law gives dem some kind of confidentiality privileges as it exists bt doctor-patient, husband-wife, lawyer-client relationshp. I dont like his attempt to cover up d mess either n hs approach ws nt so cool. The heavy burden of guilt n blame lies on d auntie who chose to approach a clergy for a criminal issue instead of d authorities. I doubt if she will do d same if it were her own daughter. The efforts of d school, d foundatn n d local govt who hv tried to raise d awareness of d girls in dat precinct is quite commendable. So many poor girls from d hinterland suffer similar fate in d cities n dey hv bn licking dere wounds in silence. Some hv bn raped by d hosts demselves or dere children n husbands. She ws lucky to be enrolled in a school if she were a full time house girls as is common with girls from her part of Nigeria d matter wld hv gone unnoticed cos she wld be too scared to complain. I think dere ws a poster who said hs neighbors do it too. U are as guilty ur neighbors with ur silence of compromise. You can save d poor victims from further harrassmt by calling od appropriate authorities before dey are finally destroyed morally. It takes a lot of strong will to correct wrong-doings around us cos some ppl dont want to be labelled. Pls save d girl child from further harrassmt by raising ur voice against rapes n domestic violence. We need to influence d lagos state govt n d federal govt to amend the rape laws like d corruption codes to fit with modern day realities. Tomorrow it may be ur daughter, sister or wife! So do something today to discourage d act. Just making sense friends |
Mushin is indeed a terrible place. It is one of d oldest settlement in lagos n very dangerous as well. I remember growing up dere as an undergraduate, I used to shuttle btn d place n ajegunle. During d death of Abiola I saw some of dere bad side. There ws a serious hostlity btn d hausa n d yoruba communities. Initially dey started by attacking anything hausa dat ws in sight leaving trail of heavy bloodshed. They later started mobilising all available boys one late night saying mushin must be protected against d rampaging hausa ppl dat dey hv never lost a fight. And truly dey led a very blood attack on d hausa communities in idi-araba, cappa n others d following morning. They came in drove brandishing dangerous weapons as dey marched on those arewa communities like gladiators. Trust d hausa ppl dey tried to defend demselves with dere bow n arrows bt it could nt wade off d boys who will never retreat easily. If nt for d quick intervention of heavily armed soldiers anything hausa ws almost wiped out in mushin during d period. I doubt if what happened in mile 12 could ever be tolerated in mushin cos dey hv an army of blood-thirsty young men evrywher. As if dat ws nt enough immediately normalcy returned another bloody encounter occurred btn d opc boys n d akala boys. Even Gani Adams ws still in mushin den. Hs factn led a very bloody campaign against d boys n dey too retaliated in kinds before opc eventually subdued with dere might after weeks of bloodletting. Evry day from mushin, to olosa, idi-oro, n all over alasalatu n akala areas u will be greeted with burning corpses of ppl who were killed during dere midnight battles. I quickly ran back to ilorin cos d fight soon extended to ajegunle n island n d whole of lagos ws burning. The place is indeed notorious, almost evryone from olorunsogo, dan megoro, ilupeju, fadeyi, idioro, moshalashi is a boxer. Beware before u try a mushin boy as a yoruba weakling else u might live to regret it. |
What is unknown to many is dat a terror group achieves its objectives by sending tremor of apprehensn down d spines of d masses. Even at d arrest of Barnawi dont be surprised d group can still bring up a video with some idiot talking trash claiming to be barnawi. He could be a look-alike or nt bt dere propaganda machinery always work wonder on d psyche of d Nigerian masses. The US, UK n Israeli govts who hav had fair dirty doses n dealings with dangerous groups use different advanced technology to scan n identify images, voice, audios etc to confirm authenticity. We may lack those bt d govt of d day hv done its best. U can see d americans dd dere best to hide where Osama ws buries n d identities of d strike team bt yet d bad guys hv started figuring out d members of d navy seal team dat carried out d operation. To show u dey are also penetrative n d extent to which dey can go to achieve dere aim. It is dere tactic to replace a dead leader immediately or sometimes put up an imposter so as nt to weaken d morale of dere foot soldiers who in most cases may never be opportuned to see d 'leader' in dere lifetime. I tink ds strategy is working well on d masses n dere own gullible followers. The average naija masses made shekau go viral giving hm a larger image dan he has or had. Even d leadershp of boko haram knows dere is no paradise for dem. Establishmt of a caliphate shouldnt be with d use of force. Afteral a caliph should be a representativ of d prophet. The first calip Abu Bakr ws by electn, n likewise d subsequent three of d pious caliphs. This shd hv revealed d hoax d group ws cos dere already existed a caliphate in d north n all d northern emirs look up to him. In fact it is a known fact dat dey are all of d same blood, so he is like a father to dem. They all bear emir(amir, religious leader) n he is d only sultan or king. So boko haram is a coup detat to replace d old order with dere fire-brand ideology n hate for some people. The insensitivity of d previous govt n nigerian indifference n hypocrisy stoke d ember of dere flames n helped dem grow into a deadly force. I am a muslim bt why will a northern nigeria with its penal code n some full blown sharia lately(which were unnecessary cos of penal codes) need another caliphate? Why will a muslim go to mosques or churches, public squares, market to blow up other believers? Ill-treatmt of people of other faiths, women n children are forbidden even in war. The fiqh-islamic jurispendence n hadiths are dere for consultatn. The media shd giv dem zero publicity bt campaigns of d army shd b captured more, so dey will realise dere s no place for dem. |
The group is dying, all d chest-beating is a tactic to scare d ppl. D earlier success ws due to d sympathy n solidarity dey enjoyed from some 'confused' ummah who witnessed d massacre of dere leader by some xtian police officers some yrs ago. If d Nigerian state had responded swiftly wit d trial n prosecutn of those idiots back den we would all hv bn spared from ds madness. Bt wot followed ws more genocides in d nw by unscrupulous hate-feeled security elements. D killing of innocent ppl in dat region continued, (even 'gburugus'(cripples) were nt spared) ws televised by aljazeera. Our home govt did nothing. The human rights groups n d xtian-controlled media were silent. Afteral dey were muslims. Killing dem elicit no response from d elites. That ws why d group found it easy to enlist d local ppl to counter d perceived age-long hatred of dere religion n ideology. And d sympathetic external forces who watched d video too came in n Nigeria became a theatre of war. What we forgot is we all helped to create d monster with our compromised silence n religious polarity in responding to national issues. This govt has been so dogged in its fight against d boko haram insurgency like no other. Dont expect d group to throw in d towel just like dat. It is now more of an ego fight dan one based on morality or ideology. President Buhari might be perceived a strict muslim but he has a solid military history of destroying ds kind of insurgencies in dat region. Only a muslim could deal with d BH boys like he is doing because of d hypocritical nature of Nigeria. May God bless d president n d armed forces. |
hungryboy:The intent of suing the police should be more than the money cos if really u have someone you truly love you will understand no amount of millions can compensate for their loss. The once happy home will suddenly become an empty void of space. And d money becomes useless when ur loved ones are nt dere. It isnt abt d money bt d police should be sued so that heads will roll over this avoidable disaster. Worst in d police stations are dere women who appeared trained to be callous n mean to anyone dat approaches dere counters. These policewomen usually dont give a hoot wen a fellow woman is maltreated in dere presence for flimsy reasons. All they think of is d proceeds dat will accrue to dem from such ill-treatments. I thought women are supposed to be kinder by dere makeup. Dear nairalanders lets make a big noise abt ds one until someone somewhere listens to it. If we cant put an end to dere inhuman treatment of citizens den we must make dem always afraid dat someone will ask questions abt dere actions n uncivilised conducts. Please feel free to fire petitions in all directions, even up to the senate. Visit stopthebribes.net with or without d s to make ur complaint. The woman must nt die in vain. |
Ecoterrorist:You have really displayed ur neck-deep ignorance. An unknown cleric u said. Hmmm. The sheik is known to be apolitical and has never spared even most of the ansar-ud deen(his org) members who are mostly powerful muslim men and women in d southwest, n I believed dat ws wot earned hm d invitatn to dat occasion. To compare hm wit partisan clergies like d CAN president who acted as conduit for syphoning of Nigeria money, nor Bishop Oyedepo's role in d last presidential election means ur opinions are heavily laced wit prejudice. The sheik is known to always say d truth as dey are without seeking for any patronage from d powers dat be. The last time a man with a rising profile tried to rubbish hm we all know hw it ended. Fayose is like d proverbial dog, who ws destined to get lost in d forest, it will definitely nt hear d whistle of d hunter when it blows. I dont know ur tribe, bt in Yorubaland n Hausaland d elders are revered. To do otherwise is like inviting disaster to ur life. It may sound strange to u maybe elders are nt respected where u came from. It is nt even in d station of d young ones to rebuke d elders to dere face. So has it always been with us n so shall it always be. Let's see our ds drama titled 'Fayose' ends afteral. |
These people are indeed an irresponsible lot. And as stupid as it seemed u see d youth of d state throwing fists, bn maimed n loosing dere lives over ds charlatans. Wike is just one thief replacing another. Its like a magician during his performance he distracts hs audience to another thing to play hs tricks on dem. Let him pretend as if Amaechi is nt existing n concentrate on working on giving d ppl wot dey missed in d previous regime. Enough of ds noise-making. If he is to probe d govt he shd do dat within d ambit of d law without prejudice. |
Many of u will nt understand why a man in hs statn broke down in tears in public. He ws once a very powerful person who hd retinue of staff at hs beckon n he thought he had built an impregnable fortress around hs loot. If found guilty, he knew he might be stripped of dat General title (a 2-star General collects hs full salary n benfits as pension till death), ask Gen Diya, he will tell u wot ignoble disengagemt from d service meant. All hs entitlemts will also be forfeited. The yrs of 'meritorious' service going down d drain just like dat? If anyone hs a General of hs stature in dere family dey will understand why d man wept in public. The rich also cry dey say. The evidence ws d sucker punch |
Lets nt deceive ourselves Sade is more English than Nigerian. They are able to attain such height cos dey lived overseas. Hw many times hv u seen any of dem identified wit d naija issues or try to lobby dere home govt to sanctn our corrupt official cos dey dont care. During d Obama campaign for president, hs caucasian affiliation ws more prominent dan hs African root. And somebody tells me an African black is more respected dan a US black. Dont know hw true dat is. Learnt d police are quick to arrest an akata dan dey wld an african. Anyway kudos to naija artist dat hs made us proud n put Nigeria on d world map. Naija has totally displaced south africa n others from music scene. Watch mtv base n c for ursef. We ddnt get dere because of ppl like Sade bt with ppl like Asa, Dbanji, Tuface, P square, Tiwa Savage and others. Wether grammy or no grammy dey ar our heroes. |
There are so many things ppl dont know abt Tinubu. When he came into d political arena as d governor of lagos state he made sure indigenous lagosians get jobs dat were once occupied by our immediate neighbors from ogun state esp. He created jobs for our graduates. He engaged d touts who were once a serious menace in d streets of lagos(ask d ibo traders wot dey used to suffer in d hands of ds touts before he moved dem to trade fair area) n he created opportunities for all. He ws so endeared to d ppl dat dey named hm jeun soke(chop up) for hs generousity. No one meets hm with dere problems without getting a solution. A prince from d Akinsemoyin ruling house said his dad told him dat as a young chap Tinubu had always bn saying dey will rule ds lagos one day. And true to his words Akanbi omo Alhaja did it. People are ignorant of d fact dat as soon as he got to d top he drew his friends n goons along. As is d case in island n in d street n ghetto d older, mighty n strong ones send d younger ones on errands. And when dey become sth along dere line of endeavors later in life dey beckon on dere loyal boys to come eat with dem. It may be as king of tout, drug kingpins, or as professionals, bt in his own case a strong politician. He carry his friends n boys along. His friend became d king of lagos over host of other powerful other princes which earned hm d oracle of lagos. Another of his friend also became d eletu-edibo(d prime minister of lagos island). How he managed to settle d age-long feuds in d family for Gbadesere-Eletu to become d eletu-edibo remains a mystery to all. He and ppl like Prince Adeniji-Adele invited Obanikoro to come home from d US to become d mayor of lagos n ws able to defeat a popular Jide Damazio. Fashola worked with him earlier in those days before dere foray into politics. He made hm a governor. Oba Ademola Elegushi is one of his friends, he is also a king today. And so many others too many to count. Even those he stepped on dere toes like Baba Olusi during d eleko kingship tussle were later pacified n are happy. His lieutenants later became governors in dere domain. For d first time lagos became d power base in yorubaland as against ibadan. All courtesy of Asiwaju. Give it to Asiwaju cos he is many man in one. Happy birthday jare jagaban. Ko sho oshi joor! |
?(meaning he was running away instead of facing d enemy)
