₦airaland Forum

The order has been given by the Apex Igbo leader in Lagos, Hon Idimogu, instructing SE Govs to shape up for APC.

This is part reason no SE Gov showed up in Edo to support Obaseki.


When Lagos speaks, SE obeys!

Brooklynsouth:
everyone here knows who the real bigot is or do you want me to create a thread about this and see for yourself ...you are the biggest tribalist after coolitempa on nairaland

If you open any nonsense you will get another ban. You unrepentant tribalist. You need Jesus!

etrange:
Lmao... I don't agree with some assumptions but then, there's no point pointing that out since it's not actually a matter of facts.

Fela's own though

Im glad you see the humour in it.

AmuDimpka:
are egun Yoruba ?

Go and develop Yoruba land... can't you see how dirty ibadan is...very antiquated city with begged colony ...go to challenge and weep

Can't you see oshogbo, Ado , Abeokuta , Sango etc...these are backward cities

No Yoruba city has ever won any international recognition

Don't call Lagos a Yoruba city because. It's created by all Nigerians

Go and develop Yoruba city ...Igbo have Onitsha,PH,Enugu And building Awka ....they have Owerri as a tourist city and Nnewi as am engineering hub while Aba for fabrication while Onitsha is for the trades

Tell me what Yoruba cities are known for ? Absolutely nothing ! Stop claiming Lagos because you can't get it... Go and build your cities in Yoruba land period

Lagos is ourland. We have developed it.

Who asked Nigerians to leave their homes undeveloped and come to develop Lagos?

Guestlander:
No ibo man is qualified to ask what a Yoruba person is doing anywhere in Yorubaland.

I endorse this message!
True talk!

Awolowo -
In my farsightedness I am able to recognize a new and vibrant Nigeria with social programs to improve the humanity and society of our people.
I believe Tinubu is the best candidate. He continued where Johnson and Jakande left off, and then midwifed a new trajectory of socio-economic programs that continues to fire Lagos twenty years counting. Nigeria needs what Lagos did, Tinubu can repeat it.


Bello
It is very important to recognize that the destiny of Northern Nigeria was restrained. We must seek to advance our cause in acceleration and refrain from playing catch-up. We do not have in North the various drivers of modern economy that the South has therefore to balance the unity of the country we must appoint Northerners as managers of the different national parastatals. This is the only way we can have fairness and equity. In this regard Buhari has been very underatanding and effective. I support Buhari should be a life president for Nigeria.


Enahoro
The politics of Nigeria is stupendously corrupt. We need to review why a Southerner is under the supervision of the less educated Northerner in the areas of government where astuteness of education is an indispensable tool in policy making and progressive administration. Not only is North retarded, the South is double retarded by submitting willingly to the subordination without protest. This calls for separate and independent regional administration. I hereby support the candidature of Aare Gani Adams.


Zik
The destiny of the Igbo is to steer Africa into greatness. Nigeria is the way it is today because it denies Igbo the freedom to unleash his gifts and make us the envy of the world. We have a rot, worse than was the case in the 60s. It is only the Igboman God has created to save and rescue Nigeria. I am supporting Atiku. Igbos will form alliance with him and rule Nigeria.


Balewa
It is daunting to make Nigeria what it is not. We are forcing the horse to drink from the stream, it will get sick and die, and we will all be stranded in middle of an uncompleted journey. There should be order to everything, life is simple and we ougjt to live it in its simplicity, with fortitude and faith. I support VP Osinbajo to be president.



Fela
Nigeria na babanla nonsense! All these old thieves should go quench.
We need an African system to replace this democracy. Bring people to the shrine and make them swear oath and see how quick all the katakata thievery go end. You think covid dey kill people, wait when politician swear to Sango not to thief money....but he took people money go buy private jet. Sango will ambush him in the sky and strike him dead. I support Sowore, we need revolution. Put Kanu as his VP so he can carry hin people to their promised land. Ahh Nigeria, babanla nonsense!


Ikemba
When we went to Aburi, the very issues we see now we had anticipated and sought to address. Nigeria defaulted on Aburi, and it continues to default even now. The consequences are even dire if nothing is done now to revisit and properly implement the recommendations and contract we agreed. You want to know why Biafra has not gone away, ask Nigeria if it has fulfilled its promises to the Biafrans. This country is illegitimate. My people do not know how to live under an illegitimate system. We are warriors by nature, this countey is full of cowards! My choice for president of Nigeria is Asari Dokubo. Nigeria needs fire for fire.


Akintola
We will not move an inch until we recognize first that political power in Nigeria is immense and should not be conferred on one person. Nigeria should have multiple presidents to address peculiar issues that burden the diverse societies. If we have four regions then have four Prime Ministers, one for each region and have a president in center. I support Tinubu for Yoruba PrimeMinister and Osinbajo for Preaident.

Brooklynsouth:
words of reconciliation metaphysical that's slave mentality , whenever a Yoruba man is handicapped in situation he begins to play liberism card guy there is nothing you can do we all know this ,the word knows this and Igbos do so youruba guy you have no option than to be civil .... Nigeria is the only saving grace for a peaceful Yoruba land

Ilakes, what did I just tell you? You see what this bigot said? He/she trying to ruin the brotherhood between Yoruba and other Nigerians. A hardcore bigot, i tell you!

llakes4real:


Are these guys not the people rejecting you? What kind of power do you think Yoruba people have, anyway?

You are responding to someone from "the disoriented class". This brooklynsouth is a man from Anambra who thinks he was meant to be a girl from brooklyn. A confirmed bigot here in nairaland. He/she just returned from a ban for bigotry.

Those of us here that love ecerybody regardless of background or ethnic should watch for people like brooklynsouth.....an unrepentant bigot.

Even some boko haram graduated today because they repent. People like brooklynsouth do not repent. A hardcore bigot.

Why are you mad MetalPhysical?
I thought we were having a health conversation.Take your med before going to bed.Kpele,Ndo, Sorry,Geçmiş olsun.

The only people i have healthy conversation is true Igbo.

Are you a true Igbo? No you are not! You are from Anambra.

I talk to Abriba and Arochuckwu, Ohafia and Afikpo sector. True Nwanna!

Graduate repentant ipobs as well.

Ojiofor:
Are Igbos kids going to different school from others?
Anywway MetalPhysical, Igbo and people of Lagos state and indeed Yoruba nation at large are one and the same .
Make him the Next governor of Lagos state after Sanwo Olu.

What state are you from?
Are you not from Anambra? Fake Ibo people.

When Yoruba and true Igbo people are talking you fake Anambra Ibo keep quiet.

Ojiofor:
I assume he appointed APC IGBO Leader Lagos state.

He appointed APEX Igbo leader in Lagos.

What else is Ibo in Lagos if not APC?

Abi you want Lagos to jack up their children school fees?

SaintBeehot:
Since our Igbo brothers said Tinubu control the entire Southwest, what this implies indirectly is; Tinubu just appointed the Igbo leader in Lagos.

Hon. Idimogu, the Apex Igbo leader in Lagos accepts godfatherism. So who is a little 2x2 shop renter to say he will not accept Tinubu as godfather.

Any Anambra in Lagos that refuses to accept Idimogu as his leader can head back to Onitsha now now.

I just return from spending time with my gehfren in Imo, the roads are clear going East.

Dedetwo:
Arrant nonsense!!! How can a Yoruba governor of Lagos State appoint who will represent Ndigbo? Ndigbo have to select their leader and present him/her to the leader of Lagos State.

He did not appoint Biafran leader. He appointed Igbo leader. I no know why de thing dey pepper you.

Governor Sanwo-Olu has appointed Hon Jude Idimogu as the Apex Igbo Leader in Lagos.

Congrats to Hon. Idimogu on his recognition!

Bodexman:
The inauguration of Godwin Obaseki & Philip Shaibu PDP's Governorship campaign is currently on in Benin, and some PDP governors and other political leaders from all regions were represented except eastern region.

The list of the governors present is as follows:
Gov Wike from Rivers
Gov Okowa from Delta
Gov Makinde from Oyo
Gov Tambuwa from Sokoto
Gov Bala Mohammed from Bauchi
Gov Diri from Bayelsa.

And other political leaders across the nation.

I believe this is their time to take hold of the structures of the party.

Ibo politics at home in SE is approved by few stakeholders in Lagos.

What Lagos decrees happens in SE.

Few days ago Igbos in Lagos decreed that APC is their party, its where their future is.

This decree has been sent to SE. They are now sitting on the fence weighing their options.

Minsk24:
Hello everyone...
While thinking about possible scenarios that might play out in Nigeria if we keep going in this direction, i thought about the possibility of the South uniting together to rebel against the north...
My Question is this: Can The North-Led FG successfully Quell a United South Rebellion? Do they Have enough Influence to control the Security Agencies In the South?

In these days it is not about force and boots.

A force of just 100 persons with the right tools can shut down North completely.

They will need intelligence, surveillance and counter-intelligence.

There is nothing powerful in North. They shroud their region in mystery and unknown....people are scared of unknowns....so it appears as if North is one mighty power. Its an empty shell.


Dont you see what bandits have done in NW....including Kaduna and all its military equipments?

Ten years now....bandits....a few thousand rogues....have overpowered NW.

In ME boko has completely subordinated all the Nigerian military might and forced FG to accept defeat. Now they graduate repentant bokos and treat them with honor.


Southerners have become slaves to books....we spent so much energy dismissing culture and rituals and denigrate native instincts. We all suffer collectively.

Alexgman1:
Am in a relationship with the only child & daughter of a traditionalist(herbalist). We are no more attracted to each other & she knows it. We are both fed up of the 3years old relationship. How do i break-up with her without hurting her or incurring the wrath of her dad?

Ask her father to give you a charm you can use to dissolve the relationship. Tell him you are tired of the pussy and want to move on.

WaistPain:

I swear e no go ever better for that man wey join this mumu contiri together

Na only music and jollof remain sef....this graduation party for turn to celebrity outing.

Are you aware they also get money rewards after the graduation?

Yes, they get a reward. This is response to the exmilitant treatments in South. Northerners want to send these people abroad for training. Na covid halted the plan.

In Zamfara gov has given two cows to each bandit that surrenders weapon. Lol...

Kaai! Nigeria!!!

flyingpig:
Long may he reign.

I would like to also see the courtroom of Ooni of Ife as well as his counterpart in Sokoto

So we can do petty argument on whose courtroom is arguably the most expensive

A palace should be distinct from a auditorium....or a ball room.

When a distinction cannot be made it is tasteless and loses purpose as a house of customs and traditions....however much opulence is wasted decorating it.

SmartProf:
Modernization is necessary to keep the palace in fine shape while revealing the glory of the African people. It makes the African culture enviable with great taste, and doesn't put us in global perspective as animals in the forest. You'll be ashamed walking into an ancient delapidated palace just because we wana preserve our cultural heritage. I know there are sections of the palace that still have artefacts and historical materials preserved. Most kings this days are very well educated and exposed, so u can't keep them in some building that looks like a mechanic workshop in the name of being custodians of culture and tradition.

Why modernize a palace but keep customs ancient? There is conflict!

Either modernize both or keep both ancient.

llakes4real:
He is also as guilty as those he keeps accusing of religious extremism.

They have destroyed their regions with religious bickerings and intolerance. They want to expand their problems into Yorubaland.

I am yet to find a Yoruba muslim that will pick up machette and kill his father because he refuse to accept Allah.....as the Northerners do.

Nor is there a Yoruba christian that will decapitate his mother because she refuse to accept Jesus as her Lord.....the way Easterners boast of eliminating diversity.

This genetic behavior in Yoruba stems from ancestral belief in spirituality and divinities.

We are the only race of people in the entire world with this trait. It is a pride! We do not conform to religious creeds for our rightesousness. Any religious practice that enters Yorubaland we accept it and slowly domicile it within our ancestral spirituality.

We are proud to remain pure and unique in the world!

We are even proud to practice a unique Yoruba Islam that is most close to the teachings in the Quran. Everywhere in the Quran righteousness is ordained for mankind. Our Omoluabi has no match anywhere in human societies.

We adopted Christianity and injected our spirit of righteousness into it. Yoruba Christianity does not suffer from the evils and injustices that afflicts Christianity everywhere else.

I am proud to be a Yoruba! We bond as Yoruba first!


Yoruba haters can follow this dotted line....

Osaze007:
Some of the yorubas are even saying only a Muslim can be ruling Kwara but the same Muslims want to rule in majority Christain states such as Lagos Ogun ondo Ekiti kogi yorubas loooool

Another expose of your agenda in Yorubaland.

We are happy as we are, and unconcerned with religious majority/minority problems that other regions of Nigeria struggle with.

Thank you for sharing that information with me.

You welcome sir!

Osaze007:
You have succeeded in diverting my topic to Christain agenda since you can’t counter my point anyways I’m no longer arguing

Your mind speaks out for itself and your intent is written all over your submissions.....doesnt need an interpreter.

LadyExcellency:
You are completely uninformed. Uncivilised and clannish.

Nigeria floated Euro bond and the European Countries invested. Have you ever had any European Country floating a bond targeting Nigeria or Africa? No, never.

Anambra is financially stable more than Lagos State hence commands the huge bonds it holds in Lagos State. It's not about numbers in currency rather stability which Anambra has over Lagos.

As a stakeholder, Anambra deserve to sit in the board of Lagos State Management.

Nigeria is resourcefully rich thats why China and Europe invest in it.

If we default on our promise to pay or we become insolvent our debtors can take over our oil, gold, and many other resources.


If Lagos defaults, it has vast resources - ports, best real estate in West Africa, best markets in West Africa, very rich and vast marine life stretching the entire coast of the state - they will take it over.



If Anambra defaults, what is there for debtors like Lagos to take over?

Gully erosion lands? Second Niger bridge? A dead Onitsha port?

I mean, tell me, what incentives do you have to compel investors to sink their money in your bonds.....what is your collateral

SaintBeehot:
Metaphysical
Edo no be Lagos o.

Lailai! Edo can never be Lagos.

We dont run politics like "a disoriented class".

llakes4real,

It was Senior Saraki, Olusola, speaking in that article.

His son, Bukola repeated the same in last election and accused O to Gee movement of attempting to ally Kwara to SW. He said it should be opposed, Kwara remain Northerner. He then accused the current governor who was a candidate then of an agenda to depose and wipe away the Emirate.

In the background, Northern Emirs are actively backing survival of Emirate in Ilorin. When we have a Northerner in Presidency....they use him as a proxy to reinforce fulani in Ilorin. This is the case with recent nomination of Gambari as Chief of Staff to Buhari.

Gambari accepted a position below his rank but politically expedient to bring central force into play and stall and destroy forces opposed to the Emirate.

Governor Abdulrazaq has done wonderfully well in Governing the State, I doubt he will get a second coming....even though he has earned it and should get a landfall victory.

The fear is that once Buhari leaves a succeeding Yoruba in center will boost Abdulrazaq to try things openly that are currently kept hidden under cover.

I am an adept of Kwara politics. There are things there not worth bringing here to public. The Emir of Ilorin knows and Gwandu knows that something is brewing underground in the inner circle of the Emirate. They cant lay their fingers on it but it keeps them restless nonetheless.


Kwara Emirate did not come from Sokoto by the way, its from Gwandu. Thats another topic for another day.

llakes4real:
MetaPhysical

A legislation in the state's house of assembly should stop the back and forth. A willing governor sends a bill to the house of assembly and assist it to be passed, he then signs it into law. Overturning this would be an herculean task for any subsequent government.

Osaze007

The problem is not religious! There are lots of liberal muslims and muslims who don't like status quo in Ilorin, but lack political will from the successive governors in Kwara state. Getting a Christian governor in Kwara is close to impossible for now, and even if one manages to get there, would he want to risk rocking the boat? The military men were in a better position to change things. This their governor would even be more scared of doing the right thing, because he knows a Bukola Saraki is on his tail.

One thing am certain of is that the breakup of Nigeria would fix things. Fulani people would then be dished their own poison. They have amassed so many enemies, to the extent that in some west African countries, they are either killed on sight or arrested.

Very solid point!

What you suggested is a workaround the useless back and forth executive orders to grade and suspend grading.

If the House of Assembly passes it becomes law and is sustainable....but the Emirate will use backdoor to sneak in allies that will use a followup law to thrash it.

APC is not going to remain in power in perpetuity, if an opposition that is supported by the Emir comes in they will reverse the law.

So what we avoided in the executive will now repeat in the legislative.

You have a solid point...but do away with the Emirate and this problem is solved permanently!


Read this to get idea of certain stakeholders that have sold Ilorin to the North even in modern days. They work against their fellow Yorubas because they are allied with North. These type of people work behind the scene to thwart any movement for regionalism or restructuring.... I call them Northern spies and agents in our midst in Yorubaland.....

Lawal to Saraki: Don't Use OPC for Cheap Politics
>From Kayode Abdulwahab in Ilorin

Governor Muhammed Lawal of Kwara State yesterday said there was no
threat to the state's security from the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC),
warning Second Republic Senate Leader, Dr. Olusola Saraki to stop
raising false alarm meant to score cheap popularity.

He also warned Saraki not to create unnecessary problems between the
North and Yoruba in the state.

Lawal was speaking with a three-man delegation of the Arewa
Consultative Forum (ACF) on a visit to the State. Members of the
delegation are Major General Abdullahi Shelleng, former military
governor of old Benue State, Chief Gabriel Aduku and Air Commodore
Bernard Banfa, former Managing Director of Nigeria Airways.

He said as chief security officer of the state, "I declare with the
entire weight of my office and the entire weight of the people of
Kwara State behind me, that there is no OPC threat in Ilorin and
there is none in Kwara State."

Saraki had last weekend in Katsina vowed that the current threat by
the OPC to invade Ilorin, the state capital would be repelled,
saying no part of the state will be annexed to the Southwest.

The former Senate leader who was in Katsina at the head of an Arewa
Consultative Forum delegation said Kwara State has never been part of
Western Nigeria and nobody had the power to take it to the West.

He specifically referred to moves to install a Yoruba Oba for Ilorin,
vowing that there is no way for anybody, even the OPC to use force to
install an Oba in Ilorin because the town has never been ruled by an
Oba.

But Lawal described Saraki's statement as an attempt to cause inter
ethnic disaffection by "knocking two major ethnic groups' heads
against each other in the name of politics."

The governor said he was sure the Turaki of Ilorin would not
"condescend to score cheap political point especially at his home
base, he will not condescend to team up with mischief makers and
enemies of God, he will not condescend to the level of knocking two
major ethnic groups' heads against each other in the name of
politics, he will not condescend to the level of throwing peace,
harmony and dialogue into the winds in the pursuit of any
ambition."

Lawal however, said that although Kwara would remain a northern state,
it would work for the peace and tranquillity of the North along with
other parts of Nigeria.

Lawal said as the only authority to ascertain any threat to peace in
the state in view of his position as governor, he was certain there
was no threat whatsoever from the OPC in the State.

He said since Saraki also has his own ethnic group, he would not want
to knock his head against where his root is, pointing out that
insinuation of OPC threat would only create unnecessary tension in a
state where there is none.

Leader of the delegation, Major General Shelleng (rtd) had earlier
told the governor that his team was in Kwara to meet with interest
groups and government on the need to support the ACF and its
activities.

An OPC leader, Mr. Ganiyu Adams had at the weekend promised to lead
his organisation to install a Yoruba Oba in Ilorin. While addressing
a large crowd of OPC supporters in Ilorin, Adams, who was accompanied
by OPC coordinators in Ogbomosho, Oyo, Akure, Osogbo and Ekiti said
his group's faith in the success of their mission was unshaken,
adding that they were doing it "not for us alone, but for future
generation of our race."

According to him, "for a long time, the Fulani had, with the active
connivance of some few individuals, dominated Ilorin and subjugated
our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. They have cried without
nobody to their rescue. They have exhausted judicial and administrative
means to wrestpower from these Fulani feudal lords but to no avail but
now, we the Oodua Peoples Congress are ready to go the extra mile to
assist our people."

Adams stated that all stakeholders in the Yoruba Obaship issue have
been sensitised and prepared for the installation, which he said
would be done in grandeur.

It would be recalled that about a fortnight ago, the 19 northern
governors after a meeting, advised the OPC to hands off Ilorin. The
advice was however, dismissed by Adams at the weekend. Saraki, whose
position tallied with that of the Norhern governors and the Ilorin
Descendant Progressive Union (IDPU) made his declaration as a leader
of the ACF delegation touring north west zone of the country in Katsina
during a courtesy visit to the state governor, who was represented by
his deputy, Alhaji Ahmed Tukur Jikamshi.

According to Saraki, Kwara State has never been part of Western
Nigeria and nobody has the power to take the state to the west
because from time immemorial, Kwara and Ilorin its capital, belong
to the north and not Western Region as some people wanted to be
claiming.

He expressed surprise that some group called OPC wanted to install
an Oba in Ilorin wondering "how is it possible for an organsation
such as OPC to try to annex Kwara and Ilorin to the west. Such move
will never be possible in this country," he said.

The APP leader contended that Kwara and Ilorin are one and will
continue to be part of the north and it is going to be so for ever.
He said those agitating that Ilorin should have an Oba instead of
Emir were day dreaming and should stop such dream in their own
interest.

He then declared, "not one inch of Kwara and Ilorin will ever go to
the west and those campaigning for such move should stop it."

It would be recalled that Lawal and Saraki, the man believed to be
his political godfather, had been engaged in a running battle over
control of their party, the All Peoples Party (APP), in the state;
a crisis that at some point degenerated into violent confrontations
between the supporters of the two politicians.

However, a reconciliation between the two men was announced some days
back after Prince Abubakar Audu, the Kogi State governor intervened.
Lawal had risen from the meeting promising never again "to allow the
devil to use him against his political godfather."

The Lokoja peace meeting was also followed by another meeting in
Ilorin where elders of the town were said to have tried to force a
truce between the two men.

Osaze007:
Nope the David Banigboye Remoce the emir before removing Kwara south ?

I just sent you an article
Stop diverting my topic
I said only a Christian can remove those communities under Ilorin not remove a Fulani emir from Ilorin
It has nothing to do with Mohammed Lawal

Stop using religion to divide people.

The article in the original post is what Im arguing on, its not a diversion. Your submissions are senseless. I dont support senseless religious agenda.

If you are looking for christianity to support your goal you are in the wrong community.....

If Yoruba in Kwara have awakened and began to pushbback on jihadi Islam....what makes you think Christianity will succeed with them?

They are not leaving Islam but they abandoning Islamic practice of the North.

They do not care if a Muslim or Christian is governor....which is the true Yoruba belief, their position is doing away with the Emirate.

The issue of separating Moro Jebba from Ilorin Emirate is a long battle, as far back as 1913, 1936.....under Christian rulers!

It has been a back and forth struggle. I posted article that supported the fact.

Christians have removed them, and a Christian have put them back.

A Muslim have removed them, and a Muslim put them back.

You have no point whatsoever, and your purpose is not to resolve their problem.....but you are exploiting their problem to force Christianity on them and further divide the people on religious line.

Shame on you!

Osaze007:
So your proving my point when you say the Muslim governor will reverse liberation a Christain governor will do
Looool
Anyways M Lawal seems to be the only Muslim governor who challenged the system but let’s not forget he was former governor of Ogun a predominantly Christain state

You are not interested in true solution for the people. Your interest is foisting christianity.

A true seeker of solution does not speak the way you just did.

You have not made any point worth reinforcing.

Osaze007:
In fact to further buttress my point
MORO LGA which gave Semi autonomy was formed under pres olusegun Obasanjo aanother Yoruba Christain . You can see here David free kwara south
Elect 3 yoruba Christain governors back to back (24) years and kwara will be back into yoruba people’s hand

https://punchng.com/how-kwara-govt-ilorin-emirate-oppress-our-people-jimoh-moro-concerned-elders-movement-president/?amp=1

If your point is that Christianity is the rescue, you are misreading Kwara politics.

In fact Lawal, a muslim, did far more damage to Emirate than did David, a christian. Both were ex-military.

The upgrading , downgrading, upgrading, downgrading has been going on a long time. Its not a solution since a sitting governor can simply reverse what his predecessor did. See attachments.


Since 1999 there has not been a single christian governor. Kwara will be lucky to get christian governor succeed christian governor once....but will not happen twice. When it does happen....whatever anti Emirate policy they install will be dismantled when another muslim comes in.

Use facts on ground, not emotions, to understand Kwara politics.

See how the LGs have been tossed back and forth between successive govts.

What they need is an elimination of Emirate itself. That was Lawal's mission.
