This is a backdoor approach to sneak into politics. There can never be anything positive about June 12, from Yoruba standpoint or Nigerian standpoint.

The fallout brought Abacha into power. Is there any Nigerian that will say Abacha was a positive value to this nation?

The Babangidas are afraid of Yoruba political dynasty gaining power in 2023.

This would not be Obasanjo, it would not be an ex-military with code of military fraternity. A pure Yoruba political brand backed by Afenifere!

dalongjnr:
Thanks Reno! U just saved a family from going back to the street. The money will go a long way in reducing the suffering of the victim's family.

Stop it!

Reno is a past Presidential aide, a front liaison for PDP. During Atiku's campaign Reno was front, back, left and center...in Dubai, at Chatham House, in New York.

1.2m in naira, not dollar...
Haba!!

I can raise 15million naira for these people just by sending email to few Obas in Lagos alone.

Reno is in California. 1.2million Naira....das all he can raise

OP, do you mean 1.2billion naira?

Reno is useless fa.
He is using this tragedy to raise his profile. 1.2million naira

Chineke God! This thing pain my body fa. 1.2 million.....ooohhhhh..

OgboAto:
Hmmn, egbon mi, while I agree with you at the surface level that the Ooni should be able to wear any past Ooni’s style of costume; you’ll have to permit me to disagree that he should not. Why? Styling his outfits in patterns of past Oonis who had no links to Oduduwa and in this case Obalufon, whose ancestry was anti-Oduduwa/anti-Oranmiyan has certain implications locally - that is here in Ife.

Im vast in Yoruba history but an Ife indigene with deep culture and history will have deeper knowledge of the protocols than I can ever be.

I concur to your knowledge-share and like it.

Agreed my dear, but the v.p is a Pastor he is not expected to be there.

Pastorship comes after Yorubaness.

seunmsg:
Okay. Is the current Ooni from the Obatala lineage?

I doont know but these guys in culture will know....

Olu

Obalufon

NGpatriot:
And today in Ibadan....

Yeeepaa!!!

Yoruba don score goal!

viyon02:
no my dear he is very right, you can't dine and wine with the devil and eat also eat with God

Look guy, Yorubas dont underatand what you are talking about.

For us every deity in our comsos is worthy of worship....and their father, Baba God Himself is worthy of adulation and praise. We do not have a no-go area between the realms of divine power, they are all available to us.


In fact, the meaning of Obatala is "the Father of Realms"
Oba - Father, Atala - Realms.

seunmsg:
This Ooni dressing is still the imitation of Ooni Obalufon Ogbogbodirin. Is Ooni Ogunwusi from the Obatala lineage of Ife? What’s the obsession with that particular Ooni?

Congratulations to Baba Ijebu, the new Odole of the source.

Ooni can wear any insignia of previous Ooni image. What he cannot do is adopt the totem of a different ancestral line.


Alaafin can wear insignia of an Alaafin and of Ooni. He and Omon'Oba both.

No wonder Nigeria can't see and plan far ahead.


Atiku is trespassing telling people to defy govt. What kind of opposition party is this man leading?

N5000 is an okay amount for the id. We pay more than that just to get our own money out of bank machines.

Aahhhh...

Look at the people gathered here. This is not a conferement ceremony...this is 2023 war room meeting.


First and foremost, Congrats to Baba Ijebu jare!

Doesnt matter who produces the president, it wont help the common man on the street. All the presidents Nigeria has produced since 1960, where is Nigeria today? I have nothing against my fellow Igbo becoming president but I know that it wont help us same it didn't help all those who had it in the past.

The Igbo nation should be striving for it's own separate country or at the barest minimum, it's own autonomous Region where they control and manage their affairs

This is what is important, not the useless office of president that had helped nobody

It does matter. Would we be talking about ruga if Buhari was not Preaident? During Jonathan the clueless outsourced maritime security to private ex-militants to patrol coastal waters against external aggression. Can you imagine...

It matters a lot who is in power, we are in a "ethnocracy", not democracy!

LZAA:
So you just want igbo domination
It's settled

I can tell an Igbo in twitter just by words and phrases, dont need to see name or picture.

"Domination"
"Supreme"
"Storm"
"Fearless"

IF SW PRESENT A CANDIDATE, SE WILL GO FOR VP AND LET THE NORTH PRESENT THE CANDIDATE IN PDP.


THIS IS WAT IS MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN.


IN 1999, BOTH PARTIES PRESENTED A SW CANDIDATE. (OBANSANJO V OLU FALAE)


IN 2019, BOTH PARTIES PRESENTED A NORTHERN CANDIDATE. (BUHARI V ATIKU)


IF IT IS ZONING, THEN BOTH APC AND PDP SHOULD PRESENT A SE CANDIDATE OF THEIR CHOICE in 2023.


IF NIGERIA IS FOR ALL OF US AND THE SE IS STILL WANTED IN NIGERIA.

Selection used to suffice just on Gentleman's word and handshake. You Igbos defaulted in 2014.

The Gentleman's handshake in 2011 was to allow the statutory successor to YarAdua...Goodluck Jonathan, complete the term of that Administration. In 2015 after expiration of his mandate he will step aside for North to complete 8yrs and then rotate it back to South.

Before the PDP primary Atiku was a strong contender. Igbos told PDP that Jonathan must go for second term. Obasanjo came out and warned that the agreement was for North to present candidate in 2015. Makarfi, Babagana, Lamido....all were very upset by the shift. Also, many Governors were angered by the division in the Governors forum of PDP and Jonathan's support for one faction over the other. All this coincided with preparation for party primaries in 2014 and election in 2015. The Governors formed what is called nPDP. They defected to APC. At the primaries Igbos backed Jonathan against Northern contenders making him the PDP flag bearer and thus, substantially, violating the Gentlemen's agreement of 2011.

This angered Atiku and he defected to join APC shortly before its Primary. He lost that primary to Buhari. This event repeated itself in 2018. He hoped to get APC flag but was told Buhari is returning for second term. This pushed him again to return to PDP. APC does not base its politics on Gentleman's handshake...its all about two things only...

1. Political value of the contestants in Primary.

2. The number forecasts for political victory.


So, to your point, APC is all about competition. You have to prove the two points above to get the flag. Not only must a President win his election he must also win elections for tickets at Federal, State and Local govts.

In PDP, do they still have selection based on Gentleman's handshake? I doubt it! Igbo ruined that structure in 2015 already.

immhotep:
More reasons for you to support Biafra

Cc lzaa gmbuharii obidark afamed

The class of Igbos eligible for Presidency have voiced their preference. They choosed ONE NIGERIA over Biafra. Those clamoring for Biafra are ineligible for the Presidency anyway....and their voice is not the Igbo mainstream.

Once your mainstream want Biafra Metaphysical will become an Nwafor and paint my car in Biafran colors.

MrHyde:
While I agree with some part of your narrative, I don't agree with the others, especially the part of desecrating the culture of others, can you share such experience?

Each ethnic group has its list of grievances on that aspect.

Here are few of Yorubas. Everything in Yorubaland is about orderliness and authority. This is how we maintain expectations in behaviorals and manneisms. In every Yoruba domain and institution there will always be a heirarchy and a mandate. Those who fail to comply are viewed as anti-culture....disorderly and disharmonious.

1. Market and Iyaloja issue.
There is a authority, an heirarchy and a mandate.

Igbos in Yorubaland rebel against it. They will setup a parallel authority to circumvent the Iyaloja Council.


2. Sacred days with curfew, whether in observation of deity worship or the mourning of a passing monarch.
There is a authority and a mandate.

Igbos dont respect it and repeatedly violate the order....some even calling it archaic, not recognising that Sunday is set aside for exactly same reason and they do not fail to observe it in their life....with good spirit.

3. Yoruba Oba is the sole authority in his domain, no competition.
These dynasties are older than the German dynastic thrones....the oldest and root of all present monarchies in Europe. Yoruba dynasties have authority that surpasses the authority of the Nigerian President or its constitution.

Igbos dont respect Yoruba monarchies and its institutions. They appoint Ezes who hold themselves as absolute power and even will challenge an Oba's authority. Example - Isolo, Akure, Lagos.

Its a long list...

but i thought its the court that asked for someone of his calibre as surety

Court did not ask for Abaribe. Court did not even address him, they addressed the fugitive Kanu. So why did Abaribe step forward to bail a felon?

Wailing over what

She hailed Lasgidi (Lagos) with her new purchase.

Have you ever heard a Yoruba hailed Abia over an automobile purchase? Has Hausa ever hailed Anambra when he purchased automobile?

Una like to show off your uncivilized culture in public. What is there to wail on, that she is uncivilized or that she bought a G63?

By the way....all models of Mercedes that carry the 63 are AMG trims, so no need to say G63 AMG. Just say G63 and that will be enough for Mercedes enthusiasts to decipher. Tell the proud owner of this Benz what I said.

BuhariAdvocate:
Balarabe musa and juinad Muhammed said it not me.

Even Obj said it.

If PDP thought it could win a National election with Igbo as its flag bearer it would long ago have put an Igbo man forward. APC does not believe so either, judging by the hatred for it in Igboland. These two parties hold influence to address Igbo aspiration.

Over the years, and even as recent as this week evident in Abaribe's speech infront of his brothers in US, Igbo continues to tell the rest of the country that the development of Nigeria is its credit. The Igbo ambition and rush for recognition is an anti-culture that turn others off and without exception every other ethnic group, major or minor, remote or next door are irritated by Igbo's disruption and disrespect. There is fear that what Igbo represent locally in every community it is in will be multiplied and magnified many fold when the reins of national power is given to them.

Igbo wants Presidency, but Igbo is not ready to act and behave Presidential. There is a hurdle Igbo must first cross before it should ask for Presidency. Before you ask others to do what you want first do what they have asked of you for decades and you ignore, with pride.

Other ethnic groups have asked you continously for decades that regardless of what Nigerian Constitution says about citizenship each land is a sacred ground with its dos and donts and you should not desecrate their culture, their land and their people. When are you going to do what they've asked of you? This is at the root of why many of your neighbours and those who are not your neighbors reject you as a choice to this point.

A story shared by a Nigerian lady on popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter, has got people talking.

The woman claimed to have travelled to another state just to visit a man only to find a boy who is not even a teenager.

The lady identified by her Twitter handle as @Nobodyvexx recounted how she travelled all the way from Calabar, Cross River state to Enugu state just to visit a man she has been chatting up.

@Nobodyvexx expressed that she got to the place only to find out that she had been chatting with a 12-year-old boy.
