Stay there and believe all these reports you are getting

Even the governor knew within him

You are still a baby believing every report from govt
I know you know more than the governor and everyone in Akure from your Achi or Usochi. So if terrorists wanted to bomb Akure, it's empty road. We actually know the difference between our right and our left, we don't need haters to tell us. We're not that emotional like you guys that we'll be putting ourselves under some pains of revenge against innocents.

Tho I know say nah them unfortunate people from their unfortunate region. Their sadness don reach Season 10.
You guessed right, one was even boasting that until his side produces president... For me, I strongly support president coming from their side but it's not awarded on a platter of gold. We need unity in the South to survive what is coming. However, we're not unity 'beggers,' each region should be able to stand on its own. rejoicing over or praying for calamity in one region is nauseating and pathetic.

PoliticsRe: Explosives Were Been Transferred To Storage Facility When Fire Ignited Akeredolu by lx3as(m):
GamalNasser:
The question is what kind of explosive where they transporting ? Because the blast signature seems to suggest it was a single large explosion from a single large explosive device and definitely not rods of dynamite set off by fire !!!!

Those of us that know how explosives work can tell you that rods of dynamites that catch fire will not go in one giant bang but would rather go off in single smaller explosion and many will not even explode since their primary charge caps will not be mounted or armed or even be in the transport truck ..this was one huge blast from a single well rigged huge explosive that used single primary charge activation
...but we're all 'beating drum of war,' we should prepare for more of this. The bomb is for boko haram; this is not the first time explosives are being transferred from Lagos to North East through that route, very bad Idea. However, we still don't know whether these explosive materials were non-military stuff.

PoliticsRe: In Benin, The Governor Kneels To Greet The King, But Not So In Other Kingdoms.. by lx3as(m):
I don't even get time for these ineffectual Bini revisionists. It's an insult to be comparing one of the most populous, most popular, most successful and greatest culture and religion people of Africa with an offshoot like Bini, a minority of minorities. Ibadan was a greater power than Bini in all ramifications, not to even mention Ìfẹ or Oyo.

Right now I'm watching documentary on Yoruba religions and cultures in the Americas and Carribbean. The white commentator just said, "Yoruba religion is the greatest import from Africa."
PoliticsRe: Well Played China by lx3as(m): 6:26pm On Mar 25, 2020
I wish the whole world would hold China responsible for this pandemic. When the world economy collapse, China plans to take over. Most of the infections the world is struggling with were created by humans in the labs and contracted to animals to spread, particularly for economic gains. I believe China has the vaccine/drugs already, which they will later sell to the world; they are selling excess nose masks, gloves, sanitizer, ventilators, respirators, etc.

Many American groups have plans to sue China for starting this viral infection. Many viral infections originated from China, for examples: Black death disease ( that wiped out about half of the world population then, particularly Europeans), SARS, Corona, etc.
CultureRe: Alawe Reports Alaafin To Seyi Makinde, Calls Him An Interlopper by lx3as(m):
Haywhysat:
Ekiti used to be under oyo empire before the Ekiti parapo war, read more.
Ekiti was never under Oyo Empire. It was Ibadan that wanted to lord it over Ekiti/Ìjèṣà through Ajeles. This led to Kiriji/Ekiti parapọ̀ war for 16 years until British intervention.

The Pelupelu disagreement has been in existence for decades (a political formation of the British rather than traditional). The Alawe, Oluyin and few other first class Obas were cheated at the beginning and have been protesting this ever since, that any first class Oba should be able to become chairman of their council that has more than 100 Obas. The Pelupelu now has about 22 Obas and it was already gazetted before Fayemi's tenure. Some members like Deji of Akure had also left.

CultureRe: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by lx3as(m):

The Yoruba created an "ife" genesis story, now the Igbo are copying that and creating an "nri" genesis story.
Both ife and nri were small little villages in precolonial times.
The Obi of Onitcha is himself more powerful than the nri whatever.

You guys whom are trying to rewrite African history are doing nothing but damaging the future of the black race, all this for your current ethnic ambitions.
History will remember you guys as the kappos who destroyed the black race for peanuts.
When you read Bini revisionists distorted palm wine shop's stories, there is nothing for one to do than to laugh. One thing these liers fail to know is that intelligence is not hidden. There is difference between Old Igodomigodo and present Bini. The Igodomigodo started as groups of people from Eastern Ondo state, offshoot of Nupe, Noks, and immigrants from the North Eastern Africa. They moved southward to occupy land being left by the Oru people, who had moved toward the Sea. There were more influx of people from West and North West of their newly settled land. They were being ruled by people referred to as 'Sky gods,' the ogisos. The kingdom was never organized until the last Ogisos.

Due to movement of people from Older and larger kingdom of Ìfẹ, Ọwọ, etc, a relationship developed between Ìfẹ and Igodomigodo. I don't need to go into how Oranmiyan gave birth to the present Bini royalty. A lot of people followed him to Bini and decided to settled and helped shape the Kingdom. During Oba periods, Bini became great, more organized and Yorubas' gods, deities, culture were brought in: Umọlẹ from Ekiti, Ayelala from Ìlájé, Olokun from Yorubas (Ijebus, Ikales, Ìlájes) that already settled Ode Itsekiri and Iwerre before Ginuwa arrived and was welcome as their Oba being great grandchild to Oranmiyan. It is foolhardy for someone to be saying Olokun originated from Bini.

There is no doubt there are lots of relationship and intermixing between Yorubas and Binis, notwithstanding there are also lots of egos; one of these was unhappiness of Oba of Bini not being among first two Obas in the Western region. His claim was that he was the first child of Oranmiyan who later gave birth to Alaafin and recent rulers in Ìfẹ.

It is also very funny and stupid when some revisionists claim Bini owns Ekiti, Ondo and Lagos. First, the Eastern and South Eastern Yorubas (who were not being called Yorubas initially and some even refused until British imposition, although they always see themselves as one people from the Source), viewed Bini as one of them (bounded by the royal family and earlier migrated families to Bini Kingdom). Secondly, Bini is not on the shore of the Atlantic but Itsekiris and Ìlájes took Prince Ado to Lagos. During the great period of the empire, Bini also did what Ibadan later did by trying to bring the Eastern Yorubas under their trading influence in alliance with some Yoruba kingdoms that saw Oba of Bini as one of their own. Can we now say because Ibadan, that imposed "Ajeles" on many other Yoruba territories and kingdoms now make everyone in these places Ibadan people and their lands, Ibadanland?

At present, Yorubas are, at least, in 8 states with hundreds of LGAs and some would still be showing their ignorance by saying Yorubas are from 7 Bini LGA, in which Yorubas even made up large part of their inhabitants. 'Bini no dey give birth ni?

To me Edo or Bini is dispensable/inessential to Yorubas except those that want to associate with the Yorubas, for instance the 'Olumolẹs, etc. I have never witnessed visible discriminations between Yorubas and Edos as these revisionists always posit. Edos feel at home in the west just as Yorubas feel at home in Edo and old mid-west. Nobody is trying to force Edo into Yoruba. Itsekiris that are closer are not even forced not to talk about several kingdoms and lands that claim Ìfẹ Source in Delta, Edo, West Africa, etc. are not being forced into Yoruba. Igodomigodo people are not Yorubas, although some would still say, few elements among them were from ancient Akoko area. Yorubas are one of the largest groups in Africa with one of the richest culture, Bini is not a rival at all; this irrelevant ego made it so easy for Biafra soldiers being led by Banjo to conquer mid-west in few days. You Igodomigodo revisionists should look toward Afemai, Ebiras, Nupes, Idomas, etc for rivals not Yorubas who are not emotional or care about you, what you think or do.

Also asked yourself, why have they refused to put on a proper security uniform instead they are dressed in a loapard skin with slippers? I can tell u authoritatively that they are afraid of the federal government and the north,... They are dressed in loapard skin and have refused to used a proper security name, and other regions have refused to join them because if for example south south region want to join them and create a regional security with proper attire/ organization, and federal government with the north stood up to challenge & threatened both south south and Yorubas, u will observe that while south south is trying to defend themselves, the Yoruba will immediately run away and abandoned the entire program, begging the federal government for forgiveness and blaming everything on the south south, they will later join the federal government to fight the south south. ........ Yoruba tribe are cowards and traitors and nobody wants to follow them to their graves.

A Security force that wear slippers as boot, agbada and kaki, chieftaincy cap as helmet, juju as gun, chief priest as commander.....

THE TRUTH ABOUT NIGERIA AND THE
CONFUSION WE ARE IN TODAY
Who are the real traitors who brought us
where we are today ?
Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern
Alliance.
Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was
Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the
officers from the region killed this same
Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria,
SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north,
all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2
were killed.
Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of
government on the country so that everything
can belong to a region who snatched it!
We must know our history so that when we
want to make corrections, we will not end up
concealing the truth. This has nothing to do
with tribalism but everything to do with the
truth.....at times when lies litter the streets.
There is a tendency to think those are truths
and facts.
*What follows are documented facts that can
be cross-checked for authenticity!"*
Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall
set you free.
*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who
drafted the constitution that took away powers
from regions and handed it to the central
government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi
was the head of state then. Today, he is
shouting restructuring that he helped to
destroy. We won’t forget.”*.
WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU
ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN
NIGERIA TODAY:
The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the
Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other
Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for
their seeming claim of being in third class
citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual
attempts to play the victim card, they recount
the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the
present in a half-baked and highly selective
manner which cleverly avoids the mention of
the roles played by their elite who by all
natural laws of judgement were actually
responsible for the woes that befell not only
the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.
The story told in the post above is one of
such selective and distorted accounts of
history which the average Igbo man is fond of
narrating.
However, the national archives have the
complete and unedited history of Nigeria
regarding the political events beginning way
back from even before 1914. I will therefore
proceed to furnish my readers with the
complete story for all to read and be endowed
with enough facts so as to judge and act from
an informed position.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the
Northern and Southern Protectorates, it
started getting clear that the country was
bound to fail as the amalgamation in question
was done with colonial fiat without the
consent and consensus of the different tribes
which were over 300. This prompted the
political leaders to start asking for de-
amalgamation so as to forestall the future
danger which the forced amalgamation
portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf
of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described
the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914
which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead
to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed
country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas
and Western minorities, described Nigeria as
a mere geographical expression not qualified
to be called a country let alone a nation.
Awolowo added that if the amalgamation
could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be
structured as a strictly federal state so as to
enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this
freedom from being dominated by any one
single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos,
denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello,
terming them ethnic champions. He accused
them of nursing a sectional agenda against
the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further
that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in
1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a
secession clause should be incorporated into
the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give
legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit
the forced union if it feels marginalized in
future. According to Enahoro, such provision
in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's
future leaders the fear of the consequences of
misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on
behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the
parliament and labelled him an agent of
disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date,
Awolowo too made a case for secession
clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and
instigated the colonial authorities to threaten
him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable
felony if they didn't stop proposing secession
clause for the future constitution. While
Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged
him on because they felt the future Nigeria
was theirs to dominate and lord it over every
other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had
in a public speech described Nigeria as a
British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a
British intention which Nigerians themselves
don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and
demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated
with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and
Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause,
Nigeria perhaps would not have been this
misgoverned.
For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the
numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe
fought against the secession clause proposal
for the future Nigeria constitution.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo
members of the parliament in which Azikiwe
fought against Awolowo's secession clause
proposal in the link above, but not a single
one of them rose against Azikiwe or
condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything
like secession in Nigeria because they so
much believed, though falsely, that they were
the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian
tribe to produce a university graduate is the
Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination
agenda hence their initial resistance to the
idea of secession; here are some quotes:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have
destined us to rule the whole of Africa".....
Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).
"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo
domination of Nigeria is just a question of
time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949).
Anascopeterson: As at 1900, the whole of the
present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial
District and some southern parts of Taraba
State called Munchi District back then; were
all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever
doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas
for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that
situation the South had a higher population
than the North hence always had an upper
hand in any democratic bargain.
But as at the early fifties when the regions
were being created, common sense dictated
clearly that these areas should fall in the
future Eastern Region. But against common
sense, the colonial masters decided to
gerrymander them into the Northern Region.
While they did that, Azikiwe who was
supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as
the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan
struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western
Region and also playing the spoiler role
against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara
and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the
Western Region from the North which was
already too large by landmass.
Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his
burning house and was far away in Ibadan
struggling against Awolowo for his own
(Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely
nothing wrong with that. Rather they
applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist
whose house was burning yet busy chasing
rats in a far away land.
Anascopeterson: When opinions became
unanimous that Lord Luggard and his
government must be forced out of Nigeria and
indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the
Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is
how:
In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-
colonization symposium in Lagos for which
Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to
deliver the keynote address. But when the D-
day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found
as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for
fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord
Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly
replaced Azikiwe with another person who did
the job improptu but perfectly well as he
lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and
the British Government. However, the British
soldiers invaded the symposium venue,
arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed
them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the
next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and
granted a radio interview in which he accused
Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering
from youthful exhuberance.
On regaining his freedom few weeks later and
being told of Azikiwe's radio interview,
Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of
Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.
Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe:
Sinner of Saint". After launching the book,
Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and
moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.
Anascopeterson: The first military coup in
Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo
army officers. That was the coup that
truncated democracy just six years post
Independence and led to a succession of
coups which put the country on the reverse
gear for 33 years.
Through that first coup, those Igbo army
officers who accused the politicians and
government of the day of monumental
corruption, killed the political leaders of the
Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions
but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape
by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In
addition to the killing of political figures, they
also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking
military officers from every region except their
Eastern Region.
In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi,
who was supposed to have been killed
alongside other military officers, ended up
becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria.
Rather than immediately arrest and punish the
coup plotters, he kept them in detention where
they were treated as heroes. This was actually
what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra
War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a
month and 8 days after the first coup
porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu
coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac
Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of
present Bayelsa State, declared the secession
of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to
free his Ijaw people from the monumental
marginalization they had been suffering under
Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel
Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand
him over to the military high command under
him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against
Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might
and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac
Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him
naked, and had him driven to Lagos and
handed to Ironsi who immediately charged
him to court and within two months secured
against him a conviction of treasonable felony
for which he was sentenced to death by
hanging fixed for December that year by the
Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he
declared secession of The Niger Delta
Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo
coupists who shed innocent blood of other
tribes and even sprayed bullets into the
bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello
and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to
court or arraigned before any military tribunal.
Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for
December to come for him to join his
ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup
happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and
Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took
over and released Isaac Adaka Boro
unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army
with his previous rank.
Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared
secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and
without consulting or apologising to Isaac
Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the
very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's
earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which
he fought against him and killed his soldiers.
Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu,
Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for
him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian
side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of
his own secession declaration 15 months
earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with
the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through
the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off
thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading
to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today,
Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the
war. But from the facts as above, who really
betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the
judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's
declaration of Biafra was as follows:
After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed
Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration,
Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate
the Anti-secession Decree which made the
mere mention of secession from Nigeria
punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu
openly supported and endorsed the decree
despite disapproval of it by the general public.
So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra
secession, he was reminded of the Anti-
secession Decree made by him and his
brother Ironsi.
Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi
Accord to create the impression that the rest
of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements.
This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.
First and foremost Aburi Accord was
organized by soldiers and unelected civil
servants who should not participate in political
exercises like making laws due to the civil
service anonymity principle. Secondly, those
civil servants and military men in attendance
were not elected by their federal
constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the
philosophy of democracy the only universally
acceptable way of making laws is through
duly elected representatives of the people. But
in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives
duly elected in the 1965 elections were all
sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process.
Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the
people? Rather, the civilian populace makes
laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord
therefore had no seal of the people's
sovereignty hence it was an illegality which
shouldn't have been allowed to stand.
Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal
constituencies democratically elected
representatives whom they sponsored to
London, paid their flight tickets and hotel
accommodation for the Independence
constitutional conference. Those
representatives all resolved and agreed on
federalism marked by regional autonomy and
resource control in the Independence
Constitution which they brought back home
and everyone accepted it.
In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that
on no account shall the military take over
power. It was also clearly stated in it that
ammendments to it could be done by only
democratically elected representatives.
That constitution was the first ever agreement
between all Nigerians. On the day of his
inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi
stood before the whole world and with his
own mouth swore to protect and defend that
sovereign Independence constitution
regardless of the circumstances that may later
arise. But just six years after he manufactured
an excuse to clinch power against the clear
provisions of that constitution we all agreed
to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions
with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up
dismantling the federalism and resource
control therein, and ultimately subverted that
constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to
draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility
and the dishonoring of sacred agreement.
That was how Igbos breached the first
agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually
consented to, thus laying the foundation for
violation of future agreements.
So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the
same way Igbos treated the Independence
constitution agreement.
Anascopeterson: Obasanjo removed history
from the school curriculum hence the reason
why many of what we know of the
eventualities in Biafra war were altered to
suite their narratives.

Does the Yoruba culture permit what the Igbo culture permits? No. So which culture go prevail?
Nigerian constitution; which mainly tailored after British and American constitution. A DNA test at the worst scenario and the father takes his child if he is capable. Nigerian Constitution supercedes customary laws. One customary law does not supercede another in Nigeria as Chioma people are claiming.

Please on a more sincere note let us all try and respect tradition.

That child in Igbo tradition rightfully belongs to chioma's father.

How can Davido be claiming a child he hasn't done. Anything on the mothers head. It is fully reserved for chioma's father to either allow the child to go over to David or not.

If he decides tomorrow that this child will be part of his land inheritance and will take his share as his son. He is right.

I am yet to come to terms how this child belongs to david.

The twitter user was right.

Finally, judges that are versed in people's tradition will try such case and on merit of it.
You talk as if Yorubas have no tradition where the man owns the child whether he marries the woman or not.

What you opined can only happen if they are both Igbo couple.

This is a clash of traditions and anyone inheriting Yoruba child is signing up his death penalty; David already said that!

PoliticsRe: Bayelsa Election: Falana Says Supreme Court Is Wrong, Lacks Jurisdiction by lx3as(m):
The court is very very wrong; if Audu's deputy in Kogi state then, Mr Faleke has no influence or benefits on the votes given to him and his principal. He was replaced with Bello and new deputy, He went to court and lost; why did the same court sack elected governor because of deputy's name change which there is no evidence he even forged his certificates.

This is simply an emotional judgement by the court with no legal backup.

The old Eastern Region is made up of Abia, Imo, Enugu Ebonyi, Anambra, Edo, Delta Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom States.

Edo and Delta in old Eastern Region...? There is nothing one will not read on Nairaland.

That we have Oba of Ogbaland in Rivers and Ìfẹ in Igalaland and Igala language almost 70% intelligible with Yoruba do not make these people Yorubas.

Just as Igala language is Yoruboid and the people are not Yorubas, Ikwere language is igboid and they are not Igbos; same thing applies to Ika and others in Delta and Rivers who claim Bini origin but using igboid language.

Can you please explain the law better because in Kogi state then, the same court failed to recognise Audu's deputy, Faleke. Faleke was allowed to be removed by APC and replaced with Bello and new deputy. In that the deputy governor was not recognised at all but party.

Supreme court has simply destroyed our democracy. minorities now carried the day with what we've seen in some states. majority votes no longer count.

When thier nearest neigbour edos have similar words with them there is no tribe ethnically and linguistically closer to the edos than yorubas in nigeria

Elephant in edo is called erin
Ugbo( Bush)
And so on
A man without eye, understanding or wisdom knows that it's not possible for people in more than 150 LGAs and in about 9 states, also in about 6 other countries to come out from people with less than 7 LGAs, no matter how strong you people have refused to give birth or engaged in family planning. Igodomigodo rather came out from Eastern Ondo state, one of the Yoruba's state with 18 LGAs.

Continue wailing on every thread bro, Bini is nothing to Yoruba except her ruling house. Everything from your Oba, Aiyelala, Ogun, Umole and other culture, religion, traditions and many names of persons and things are Yorubas!

Some of you are very very unpatriotic and just funny. That you hate Buhari coupled with his poor performance in some aspects doesn't give support for this ban. India has had some bad leaders recently but they were not banned; most terrorism on US soil were carried out by citizens of Saudi Arabia but they were not banned. Some of you celebrating Trump need to visit other countries and see how they value their own. Iran and Iraq people have issues with their leadership but rallied together to protest against what they see as foreign aggression.
Do you think most people that travel to US are Buhari's people? He will leave that position less than 4 year but the nation will continue until we're ready to put an end to it. For now this is our country and we should not accept this racism and insult just like that; we're not just other country, God has made us African most populous nation.
