When those suffersticated urchins say Igbos only sell gala in trafics, I just laugh heartily at their willful ignorance. The same Igbo's you see hawking gala in your town, check them out in two or 3 years time and they'd have rented shops and in 5 years, they'd buy up lands in your place, while sending funds to their villages to develop them. This is why there's Eze ndi Igbo in almost all parts of the world. It's for cohesion and mutual development. Hell! these guys practically built Igbo land and environs from scratch with just 20 pounds after the war.
Every time there's a hugely successful rally for Obi/Datti, expect suffersticated urchins to go overdrive in churning out lies against the same they said have no structures. It pains them so much to see the same youths they had been deceiving now doing the right thing.
Not just PDP but also APC. Osibanjo would have provided a healthy alternative but the greed and wickedness of one man ensured that it would never be. Now APC is busy trying to whitewash and repackage someone with several baggage - a very daunting task.
Kwara was already taken back before the British arrived
Till today Ilorin is a Yoruba Town More than 90% of the indigenes are Yoruba
My Mother was born and raised in Ilorin my Cousin's are still there
All Civilians Governors of Kwara have been Yoruba
Ilorin was founded by Afonja's Great Grandfather and the Yorubas there are of Oyo Ethnic Stock
The ruler of Ilorin when the British arrived was a Yoruba man Called balogun alanamu .
The last Emir Momoh had been defeated by the Yoruba Chiefs and had burnt himself alive inside his Palace
Ilorin has Fulani Presence only because the British reimposed the defeated Emir on Ilorin around 1900
Before that balogun Yoruba (Inakoju alanamu) was the actual ruler of Ilorin.
The Emir had been deposed by the Ilorin Yoruba Chiefs before the British arrived.
balogun alanamu fought the British and was exiled to Jebba after the British defeated him.
It was the British that reinstaled an Emir in Ilorin after the defeat of balogun Yoruba Inakoju alanamu due to Political Pressure from Northern Emirs .
The Emir of Ilorin had been defeated and deposed by the Ilorin Yoruba Chiefs before the British arrived.
The British left at Independence after an agreement was made to have a referendum Kwara State.
The Post independence Government of Balewa and Azikiwe frustrated that referendum by not carrying out the Kwara referendum which should have happened at the same time as the Midwest referendum in order to cripple Awolowo and his Party Politically after Awolowo had been jailed in 1962
Balewa and Azikiwe also didn't Carry out the other referendums agreed with the British before independence meant for the Eastern and Northern Minority Ethnic groups.
Ilorin still has an Emir because of Colonial and Tribal Politics
There are at least 30 Towns with Crowned Obas that Completely encircle Ilorin
This is the time for the ordinary masses who have been subjected to unfathomable hardship by their politicians. The masses are the ones championing this historic paradigm shift to responsibility, equity and accountability through Peter Obi. Do not be left out. Let it be recorded for you by posterity that you joined in the movement to rescue Nigeria. Obi/Datti is a goal!
EngrKemp: The mother tongue is ibani ijaw and not Igbo. Nobody speaks Igbo proudly..
U speak English and that does not make u an English man .. Ibb speaks Hausa..if they ask u ,u will call him Hausa .. But ibb is Nupe... Igbo spoken is not the heritage..it's a language of trade and nothing more.
All the Opobo and Bonny people v told u point blank they r ibani and not Igbo.
Stop land grabbing..
There is no where in history where Igbo people of hinterlands has a business with the seas
The way and manner you people lie shamelessly on an anonymous forum such as this is nauseating. These thrash you said in your last statement has been proven here on this forum severally to be outright falsehood and dumped in the dustbin. If you say Opobo and Bonny aren't Igbos, how about their Ndoki brothers that speak exact same language with them and practice the same culture?
Niger delta is bigger in land mass and population than all Igbo land. Rivers State and bayelsa states combined is bigger than all Igbo states.
Dot
You keep on going off tangent. Are you sure you're not the same " General Ditari breaking news !" guy that stubbornly refused to admit himself in a psychiatric ward? Can you tell me exactly what the sizes of Niger Delta and Igbo land have to do with the topic of this thread?
EngrKemp: No.. Igbo is a political coinage not ijaw...
Can u understand ebonyi speak there tongue except u r from there.
Ijaw is a whole lot of people spanning from cross river to Lagos,to Benin ,and other African countries living along Coastal areas..
Stop saying what u don't know... Land grabbers
You're very ignorant and proud of it. What is in your 'Ebonyi tongue' that can't be understood by every average Igbo man? And your statement about Ijaw spanning from Africa to Asia, what's the important to this discourse? Ignorant S.O.B.
These pictures will trigger another wave of useless lies and attacks on the man of the moment from the suffersticated urchins. They just can bear the pain they're experiencing at the moment and wish they can brainwash every Nigerian like they themselves were brainwashed... Suffersticated urchins? Very irredeemable dumbos.
Don't be surprised that that man has a lot of supporters encouraging him to be the life president of the country. Just like some dumbos in Nigeria are supporting their ancestors to become the president. I spit on the head of urchins!
Kewtt: We are not talking to brain damaged monkeys
Then who are you talking to? You already said that all Obi's supporters are brain damaged. Are you then talking to Tinubu supporters so that Obi doesn't sway them to his camp?
Allegations upon counter allegations, yet no single verifiable document to support all the allegations. Not even one single document. If Peter Obi is actually complicit of these allegations and this OP or whomsoever is covering it up, then why should we consider the testimony of a conspirator as the truth? According to someone, when you fight corruption, corruption fights back in ten folds. But Nigerians are not deterred in the least, we are definitely rescuing this nation. Vote wisely.
Arda1000: I don’t know about Bonny but as for Opobo even those with Ijaw names are paternal Igbo meaning they are Igbo with Ijaw names…. Opobo is 100percent Igbo. Ask most Opobo people where they are from they might say Ijaw but if u ask him where his grandfather that gave birth to father is from he will tell u his grandfather is Igbo. There’s a hell lot of confusion there, most will tell am Igbo but by naturalization am Ijaw lol
It's not much of a confusion. The term 'Ijaw' these days, is a political construct, just like 'Niger Delta'. When you find yourself living close to the river and you have oil, then you're definitely 'Ijaw'. It doesn't really matter if you speak Izon or you practice their culture. Look at GEJ from Ogbia. He is now a full fledged Ijaw man. Not minding the fact that Izon and Ogbia language are not mutually intelligible. They don't even marry themselves and have absolutely nothing in common.
GreatBoss: Even the Bishop will tell you he is Ijaw if you ask him.
Yes, because 'Ijaw' is political coinage. Anybody can claim Ijaw these days if you live close to the river. However, when you bear an Igbo name, practice Igbo culture and also speak Igbo, then you're surely Igbo.
GeneralOjukwu: See.... now that we are having a more serious debate will state some hard facts.
I love Nigeria with all my heart. I am more patriotic than the average citizen, modestly speaking.
I supported Buhari over GEJ because the latter had lost the plot and Nigeria was on the verge of collapse. I was earning in Naira just at the end of GEJs rule. Buhari came in and at the start of his rule, my earnings became foreign currency. My earnings quickly tripled and even quintupled because of Buhari's failure in economics. Not saying this to boast but thats exactly what happened. But I am still objective enough to know that Buhari is a TOTAL FAILURE despite adding to my pocket.
Because I had engagements with some political bigwigs in the North in 2019, I kept asking them why Northerners were supporting Buhari in 2019. It was obvious the man had failed and was out of ideas. I was bluntly told that the North don't trust Atiku and they will still prefer to vote Buhari again. Despite being naturally APC inclined, despite supporting APC in 2015, I was objective enough to know Atiku would have improved Nigeria in 2019 because it was a new person... New ideas. The GEJ excuse and Saraki Senate President excuse that Buhari had been touting had worn thin.
Finally if you ask my thoughts on 2023. Nigerians claimed to vote for Mr Integrity- Buhari under whose regime corruption has flourished and he pardoned 2 convict Governors. Now Mr Integrity didnt work out. Let's try " the battle of the crooks" Tinubu and Atiku have bad reputations for fiscal accumulation a.k.a embezzlements alias thievery. But they have the requisite agbero nature to deal with Nigerians who also love to behave like ruffians. Either man will win and though Nigeria wouldn't become USA overnight but either man will definitely be better than Buhari.
Northerners wouldn't vote for Obi...that's the fact. He wouldn't win a single state there. So how can he be President?
Just look at someone's reason for supporting a candidate after admitting that the one he supported before was a huge mistake... Seun, what do you say about that IQ evaluation I told you about?
GeneralOjukwu: I love those tears. They taste salty and hot. Cry more.
Tears for what? No be you again? Tomorrow now, you'd change monicker and start begging all over the forum after electing a bad leader. That one na your stock in trade.
muykem: Peter Obi graduation date on his BSC certificate is Saturday 15th December 1984 and NYSC on public holiday May 1st.
Wow! Guy, you're such a genius! How did you unravel such a mighty mystery that has befuddled millions across the world for ages? I recommend that you be appointed head of all intelligent agencies in the world.
Typical of Reno. Just type meaningless rubbish laced with a little Yoruba word or two, and watch the 'sophisticated' half-baked urchins go ga ga... The same urchins that are witness to this Buhari's ( and Tinubu's ) failure.
Dvdpity: Stop being plain stupid, you are more intelligent than being used by politicians who doesn't want you to enjoy life like others in EU or USA. Don't be a part of this plague that is destroying Nigerians and Nigeria. Look beyond your selfish interest. Enough of druggie vegetables, terrorist, corrupt bastards and God fathers, as leaders in this country. Am a Yoruba man and I will never support another calamities in the form of APC or PDP candidates on Nigerians. Never. Suffering and killings, hunger doesn't know tribe or religions.
Dvdpity: You are so ignorant. Go to unn and verify. Stop sounding so stupid like your paymasters. University of Nigeria Nsukka is not far. Go and verify.
Oga, kindly go through my post again and rephrase your comment.
What does Tinubu have to campaign with apart from his 'deep pocket'? Is he going to tell us that Buhari hasn't done well or that he has? How is he going to explain the Muslim/Muslim stuff? What about his age and state of health? How about his alleged past? So after Obasanjo( SW); Yaradua (N); GEJ ( SS ) and Buhari ( N ) with Osibanjo ( SW ), Nigerians should still vote in Tinubu from SW? Tinubu should simply step down.
