In response to Gbawe, you hit the nail on its head regarding Tinubu's focus. Yorubaland has a best practice in Awolowo in terms of politics and social doctrines. It is futile to expect a fitting replacement for Awolowo. His successes and accomplishments were lived out of a high strung personal belief in origination...in other words, he was a transformer fueled by a passiin to improve society by questioning traditional ways of doing things and replacing that with practices that are many years ahead of the contemporary.

Tinubu is a pragmatist. He lives by lessons learnt and uses the pain and barriers to his advantage to renew and restrategise on the fly with new obstacles he encounters. He is not a visionary......although his outputs have done excellenty well against the test of time.

We can comfortably call Awo the political father of Yorubaland but undoubtedly Tinubu qualifies to be labelled the political vanguard of Yorubaland.


To Shymmex's point, redistribution of wealth is vital to sustenance and survival of society. DAWN was set up to achieve this goal, amongst other areas mapped for intra regional cooperation and distributed development.The pain is no one really knows where DAWN is in terms of projects and forecasts for the region.


Great contributions everyone! wink
PoliticsRe: Fulani Herdsmen And Military Grade Riffles: Who Issues The Licenses? by MayorofLagos(m): 9:24am On Oct 28, 2015
OP,
I think what you meant to ask is who is licensed to import for civilian use the assault grade rifles?

Fulani are carrying unlicensed guns.

First, there is connection between bokoharam and fulani. Fulani is the carrier or mule for weapons and.drugs and.also couriers between terrorists in Mali (majority of whom are members of AQIM) and those in Maiduguri (composed.of Al Shabab and fighters from Darfur).

Open this link and read the connection between fulani and bokoharam. You will understand wherwbtheyvget weapons. Remember we used to get reports of bokoharam invading police badraks and army cantonments and rob their armory? Most of the armory in fulani posession come from military stock, they have been retrofitted. Fulani carry them loadedand ready for fire.

This country is at war.

Well, the good news is Ibo leadership has stepped in and support Afenifere's stance on the title and the imperatives of the holders ofthat title.
PoliticsEze Ndigbo Title Threaten To Cause Trouble In Oyo by MayorofLagos(op): 8:17am On Oct 28, 2015
Eze Ndigbo Title Threaten To Cause Trouble In OYO.


Three persons are at loggerhead over the prestigious title of Eze Ndigbo in the south western state of Oyo.

Vanguard reports that the three warring parties are Dr. Alex Anozie, Chief James Nduka Oramadike and Chief Alloy Obi.

Dr. Anozie was reportedly elected as the Eze Ndigbo on the authority of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo in 2000.   Chief Obi and his group however began to parade themselves as Onyendu Ndigbo, a title which Anozie challenged in court citing that it was not in conformity with the Ohaneze Ndigbo and therefore null and void.

In 2009, Chief Obi and his group allegedly claimed Anozie had been removed which brought about crisis. A court order however went in favour of Anozie. The court in February 18, 2014 recognised him as the rightful owner of the title.

The court also stated that there could only be a single Onyendu Ndigbo for Oyo and that since Anozie was elected in September 30, 2000, there could be no other one.

The court finally granted an injunction restraining Obi from parading himself as Onyendu of Ibadan and Oyo, an issue Obi later appealed in a court.

Anozie however said that anyone doing anything contrary to the court ruling was an enemy of the country.

“Anybody I am referring to could be radio, television, government and even me. I learnt that the other side has appealed the judgment of the State High Court, they should wait for the outcome of the appeal. It should also be noted that when you appeal a judgment of a lower court, it doesn’t mean the judgment no longer subsists. It subsists until the appellate court says otherwise. The truth is bitter but it is good to tell the truth. Both of us in the crisis presented our evidences before the court and the court having weighed the evidences and pronounced me as the holder of the title.”

Anozie’s camp is also struggling to settle issues with the national body if the Igbo group. The camp alluded to the recent visit of one Ogochukwu Onyema who claimed to be the vice president of Ohaneze Worldwide. Onyema reportedly made some statements that seemed to be against the ruling of the court.

They said: “If it is true that they are the ones who sent one Ogochukwu Onyema to Ibadan on 15th of August, 2015, to come and say all what he had said, then they need to take caution . We are responsible peace-loving citizens of Nigeria who so much believe in the rule of law, and that is why we tolerated so many provocations since many years now, and we have continued to allow the judiciary to help us sort things out peacefully. Oyo state is peaceful and we want it to remain peaceful”.

“We are aware of the antics of the very person who has been the brain behind all these problems since all these years; he would want to drag everybody that matters into this controversy, including the South-East Traditional Rulers and Ohaneze national body, whom we expected to play a justified fatherly role in this issue.”

Any Igbo family with an elder older than 80 or 90 years of age will always describe Igbo cities of Onicha, Owere, Igweocha and Enu'gwu!

There is no dispute over the ownership of Port Harcourt as it is an Ikwerre city. Are Ikwerres a part of Igbo nation? I don't think so. However there has been an encroachment into hinterland backed by the abandoned property saga by groups previously restricted to water fronts.
Thank you Abagworo.
On the question of whether or not Ikwerre is Igbo, in their antiquity was there ever anytime they spoke a language other than Igbo or had a culture and belief system.completely unique and different from Igbo?
PoliticsRe: Frederick Lugard, 'Iguocha', And Historical References by MayorofLagos(m): 2:15am On Oct 28, 2015
Looking at the entry post to the thread, this was in the year 1912. Some years before that is the land purchase of Ibo territory by UAC and their subsequent amlgamation into the Oil Protectorate to form Southern Protectorate.

Was there any record of Iguocha, Igweocha, Ugweocha, Ugwuocha...or any other Ocha in the territories of the Oil Protectorate preceeding their amalgamation with Ibo territories?


This single piece of history, if found will lay to rest ownership of Port Harcourt.

Out of the change IPOB has gone internatiinal and widespread, and its only been five months. Can you inagine if there had not been a change, IPOB would not be this popular.

So you must decide if the outcome of the change with fastforward grassroot gains for IPOB is a better reward than if Jonathan had returned to power and your Biafra remained a local phenomenon.

How many Igbo Chiefs were abducted and insulted by Ijaw? grin
It was a huge insult that Ohanaeze asked all Ibo aspirants to stand down so Jonathan can contest. Ohanaeze even declared that any Ibo that voted against Jonathan was a bastard. Yet Jonathan, in picking VP went to North to pick Sambo, even after Ibos had sacrificed political ambition for his sake.

Thats a huge insult and slap in the face. So stop all these gra gra and attend to discussions that promote good image of Ibo, not opposite.

Brothers and Sisters,
Game over! We must declare an internet assault and incessant attack on the culture and tradjtions of Fulani. We must broadcast to the world the weaknesses and indignities of Fulani. Any thing we can find on Fulani must be projected in its most negative and debasing aspect. Anything positive must be suppressed, all negatives about them must be amplified.

We will steadily and tenaciously shave away and deface all gracefullness about them in Nigeria and anywhere in West Africa.

PoliticsTo Yoruba Elders by MayorofLagos(op): 11:37am On Oct 27, 2015
I give my greetings and respect, my salutations and adoration to all our elders in Yorubaland and in humbleness I approach to add voice to the voices that have already spoken in defense of the land and of your virtues. May you all live long for us, Ase!

In as much that Rabiu Kwankwaso's utterances would be condemned, the inaction and silence of his Yoruba audience and hosts must not go unpunished. The Yoruba dignitaries in sitting at this event and in whose presense this audacity by the prodigal fool was uttered while they sat like zombie and soaked it in are conduits, ennablers and endorsers of the verbal assault on your virtues.

In comparison, we saw a gathering of youths at the Deji's palace react and decisively corrected an insult on the revered throne of a Monarch of Yorubaland.

It should be seen as lack of reverence for our elders and fathers when a gathering of Yorubas, including those designated to represent Oyo State Governor would listen to a rain of insult hurled at the land, our elders and our institutions generally by a representative and voice of Fulani who if I may add spoke in defense that the rape of our women, daughters, the invasion of our farmlands, the mutilation of our brothers, sons, fathers, and most of all a leading statesman of our land was a justified outcome because the criminals were not educated to recognize such atrocities as inhumane.

May I add that one of their own, Col. Sambo Dasuki has just been charged and will be prosecuted for posession of firearms without license. So, who arms and protects Fulani herdsmen with unlicensed AK47s and why is that not seen as a crime worthy of prosecution?

Our sons and daughters, third generation university educated buffoons sat like goats waiting for their march to the slaughterhouse and gave audience to be instructed on the importance and value of education to the civility of man by a irritant, a first generation university graduant whose father and father before him were roaming cow herders. If we take out Federal character from the equation a man of Kwankwaso's background is not materially matured and ready yet to administer a local govt in Yorubaland, much more a State!

I call for a public humiliation of these Yorubas that made it possible for my land to be shited on by a fvking Fulani.

A message to Mr Fani Kayode. I read your response, may God continue to inspire and give you the voice to speak to truth. I disagree on one point in your response. In the last sentence you differentiated and sounded apologetic to the civil Fulani.

No my brother....if the civil Fulani does not differentiate and distance himself from the filth and atrocities of his herding brothers, why is it our call to plead on his behalf? Damn all Fulanis! We hold the grace to Fulani survival in Nigeria, On a weekly basis, counting all the weekend festivities in Yorubaland, no less than 10,000 cows are purchased. We can impose an economic embargo, in tandem with a territorial restriction and ruin their livestock and income. This is serious matter!
Therefore Fulani owe us accountability and cleansing. Let the good Fulani distance his acts and his voice and defense of the criminal Fulani and prove to us that they are redeemable. Until then....fvck all Fulani!

I am upset!

Mayor of Lagos self endorsed this message!

I appreciate FFKs response but I still wonder who the dummies were that sat and listened to Kwankwaso insulted their elders, or maybe I should say their Fathers, on their soil...and then declared that they would not dare do in Fulaniland without consequences what Fulani has done in Yorubaland and dodged punishment.

Im a passionate advocate for Yorubaland....there is limit. When we see wrong lets be truthful and call it what it is. These dignitaries were dumb....educated fools. Where were their brains?

Could not a single one of them snatch the microphone and sacked Kwankwaso from the podium? In the least, could they not have staged walk out on him as a protest and dissaproval to his insult?


Im on the borderline of agreeing with Ibos that Yorubas are cowards. One more bullshyyte from a fvkng Fulani on the doggone Yorubaland taken with timidity and I will promise never again to oppose when Ibo call Yoruba coward.
PoliticsEnd Of Eze Title In West by MayorofLagos(op): 8:36am On Oct 26, 2015
The Afenifere Renewal Group, ARG, has expressed support for the stand of the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, against the continued existence of the Eze Ndigbo title by South-easterners residing in the town, the capital of Ondo State, Nigeria.

The Yoruba organisation on Thursday described the Eze Ndigbo title as unsubstantial adding that the stand of the Akure monarch would help to put the South-west and its culture on a pedestal.

The ARG said this act by the Deji of Akure would go down in the history of Yoruba nation and amongst other nationalities as noble and needful.

According to the organisation, “contrary to what many particularly the mischief makers have been saying, this move has the potential to strengthen inter-ethnic relationship as it eliminates the friction points amongst nationalities, be it in Yorubaland or elsewhere.

“There is no gainsaying that the structure of Eze Ndigbo outside Igboland is deployed towards an expansionist end, with possible occupational intent.

“It is our conviction that the Igbo community in Yorubaland does not need to have a king, since by Yoruba custom, two kings cannot coexist in a domain.

“Yorubaland, from time immemorial, welcomes and encourages trade associations and development unions and their activities are supported by Yoruba people who are ever tolerant of settlers amongst them.

“We therefore want to reiterate our proposition to the heads of executive governments in Yorubaland and other traditional rulers that the title of Eze Ndigbo, or any other monarchical title that is alien to Yoruba customs, be scrapped in all Southwest states.”

Thats not okay for them to do, but doesnt mean we blacklist them either. Jonathan government was a gold mine, the free flow of money killed conscience and character but we become great by presenting opportunity for cleansing.

Four years ago Ondo was the only Yoruba State that rejected ACN. We did not ostracize our brothers and sisters in Ondo because they stood away from rest.

OPC was slave to money and gave backing to Ibo....so now that the money source has dried, we need them to slave for patriotism and move Yoruba forward.
