Politics / Re: The First Project By Julius Berger In Nigeria 1965 Was In Lagos (Throwback Pic) by middlebelter(m): 10:02am On May 09, 2020 |
mrvitalis: What an argument. In elementary geography there is what is called the pull and push factor for population? The pull factors such as economic attractiveness, peace, infrastructure are not as much in the other Yoruba lands as Lagos, nevertheless you go to nearby Ogun state which is not Federal project as alleged by you and tell me if there are no considerable Igbo population as you claim. Now, imagine if they stop selling land to your people because of such comment as yours, you will be the first to run outside shout marginalisation. Let us put behind us all these unprofitable sentiments and move forward. 6 Likes 1 Share |

maestroferddi: When Macau lay died at the age of 81, nobody had any complaints of bei g dominated. It was objective leadership based on vision, but after his death, the same could not be said of Zik's leadership and that was the genesis of tribalism. Do you understand? It was his failure to address this conflict of interest that metamorphosis into the Western Nigeria election. Zik iwas a great man by all standards I wish to reiterate, but he certainly had his failure as a man just like also had hsi Awolowo. We must however put issues straight and lay blame where it should be. His leadership of NCNC was never contested but his style was. If we fail to learn from this issue, I repeat, the Fulanis will continue to dominate all of us until God puts an end to it. The Fulanis understands this history and conflicts more than any tribes in Nigeria and has been using it to their own advantage. The new style now is Yoruba and Igbo struggling to be leading partner of Fulanis. If as the successor of Macaulay, he had listened to the wishes of some of his members for fear representation, his leadership of Nigeria would have been established till date. I didn't say NCNC is a Yoruba party, don't twist my words to satisfy your bad intentions. Check the history of Herbert Macaulay very well, he was born to Nigerian parents in Sierra Leone and purely a Yorubaman. Now those are not the issue, wrong allegation is injurious. 1 Like |

maestroferddi: Again, you can respond to issues with displaying immaturity. I will appreciate superior arguments than insult. For the record, Zik was never stopped from succeeding Macaulay as NCNC. As you are aware many Yoruba remain with Zik till death and do you know why? Difference in opinion. The fact that Zik will be Premier in the East does not take away from him the leadership of NCNC.They are two different offices. Good luck and this will be my last response on this matter. 1 Like |

dignity33: I can't heal you from your self inflicted ignorance. It is not in my power, you can choose to believe whatever you want. The answer to your question is simple, who told you not to see GMB as national leader instead of a Fulani man you regard him. Let me tell you one fact, it better to be guided by truth and objectivity. If Zik by his leadership posture in NCNC decided to be a true Nigerian, there would have been no need for political crisis. If you don't understand, take a look at the way politics is being played in Nigeria today. If Okpara was not chosen by Zik, what you mean to say is that Zik will be Premier in the West and Okpara in the East because they are most senior in NCNC? What a wisdom? The people in the west are expected to be watching Igbos taking over all key appointments and be relegated? You see, when we learn to be sensitive to the feelings of others, our political crisis will be minimal. Do you realise why the PH people decided not to support Biafra because of similar insensitivity to their existence? No doubt the Yoruba has their own imperfections but as an person, I think they are more tolerant that Fulani or Igbos. If we want Nigeria to work for all of us, then we must be ready to make it work. We must be insensitive to any tribe including the Igbos that suffered during the civil war. 3 Likes |

leokid866: That is the reason we must continue to tell them the truth each time anyone come up with this type of lie. You said Yoruba are betrayal and I asked who betrayed first if there was any betrayal at all by Yoruba? Zik succeeded Herbert Maculay suddenly think he must emerge the Premier of Western Region and appoint another Igbo man as Premier of Eastern Region. Will Igbos accept such treatment? To have Herbert Maculay as Premier of Eastern Region and then appoint Awolowo as Premier of Western Region? Will Igbos that will not even agree to sell lands to Yoruba in the 21st century ever accept such political denigration? Much as I love my Igbo friends we must not shy from telling them the truth and let them know all these Internet war have to stop before it snowball into another unfortunate incident. Zik should know that the Yorubas are larger in landmass and population yet the allowed you to lead them as a Nationalist under a movement started by their late son, now you using the same platform against them to subjugate them politically.

This man even though is from middle belt has never hidden his hatred for Yorubas, whatever his reasons are he should please allow Nigerians to live in peace with his half baked history. NCNC was the Nationalist Movement under Herbert Maculay a Yoruba man and Zik was his deputy. Suddenly. Maculay died and Zik emerged as the leader of NCNC the main anti colonialism movement. The Yorubas of course gave Zike 100% support as they still remain the most accommodating tribes in Nigeria to Igbos and other Nigerian till date. History is there for you to verify. Now before the elections there were political manoeuvring and some Yorubas feel that they should be compensated for the death of their son in the leadership ranking that, Zik as national leader should be Premier of Eastern region and appoint a Yoruba man to lead Western Region. This won't take away from him his national leadership of NCNC. Unfortunately, he didn't listen and that gave rise to suspicion of been dominated. Remember, Zik wanted to be Premier in West and appoint another Igbo man as Premier in the East and before this election, there has been signals of domineering tendencies in various institutions including University of Ibadan and some Yorubas concluded that if they did not correct this error early their children will not forgive them and that is what lead them to realign after massively voting for NCNC a Nationalist Movement that was evolving to a political party then. To call Yorubas tribalists is the height of mischief. If you have a leader that is insensitive to the various components of his constituency can you call that a leader, if you protect the interest of your own tribe at the expense of other tribes that are larger than your tribe in population and landmass can you be regarded as a leader. Indeed, it was Zik that started tribalism and when he pushed it to a point that it backed fire, he started calling Yorubas name. Why did Paul Unogo and his other Middle Belt leaders not choose to remain under the Fulanis without a voice in political leadership, why are my Middle Belt people still trying to maintain a distinct Geo-political Identity? That is what Awolowo and Co saw and choose to take up their own destiny. Did it favour the SW? The answer is obvious. Yes, there were reactionary groups in Yorubaland that choose to die with Zik, the likes of Adeniran Ogunsanya, etc Unogo Paul won't see such people but choose to dance in the market at Old age because of hatred. Check out his consistent opposition to Yoruba leaders and you will know, the type of elder he is. For the youths that may not know much of our history, recent developments in our history will show you that the Yorubas will never ask too much but will always insist on what is due to them. When through political manipulation, Abiola died as president elect, some tribes expected them to declare war, but Yorubas simply negotiated to have their son replaced with another Yoruba as president. They never wanted Obasanjo but when the other tribes insisted through the military, the Yorubas for the sake of peace allowed it. Now if Zik had listened to his political constituency then, what Paul Unogo is talking about would not have happened. There are many other political manipulations by Zik that proved he wasn't an infallible leader, we remember what happened during the coup and how he escaped being killed through informants of Igbo origin in the military while the other political leaders in SW and North were killed in a coup lead by Igbos. Did he know about the coup? Finally, the Yorubas choice of Awolowo as the Premier of Western Region was it beneficial to the Yoruba race or not? I will leave reader to answer this question as take away and ignore this man. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

That Muric guy can't be a true Yoruba man. Check it out an average Yoruba Muslim is not as critical as this guy. It time the Ife people investigate his lineage. How on earth will he bring religious bigotry to such a sensitive matter of this nature? Is he trying to allege that the dead are victims of religious attack. Why is he always looking for a way to score cheap religious point without thinking? Is he really capable of critical thinking that should be a quality of a Prof. I am seriously doubting his Yoruba ancestry, perhaps it is time for Ife people to investigate his lineage, an average Yoruba Muslims does not subscribe to line line of reasoning. He is either not a thorough breed Yoruba or he is on the payroll of the Fulanis to distabilize the SW using religion a traitor like one other man that relocated to Ilorin many years ago. |

Don't you know that the law of marginal utility will set in with time and demand will reduce. Now sometime, I don't ask for sex from my wife in two weeks, but at the beginning of our marriage it was war. Do you know that despite not asking her every week, whenever I want sex it is still story and I keep wondering what exactly you people want? Now you are complaining and some girls out there are wishing they have what you have. If you are careless and the guy go to taste food outside, you have yourself to blame. Listen at age below 40men'sexual appetite are high that time women sexual drive is low. However, after age 40 when men sexual drive is diminishing, that is when women sexual drive start to increase, that explains why you see some women in their forties pursuing boys of twenties.

Foreign Affairs / Re: China Plans To Put 300 Million Chinese People In Africa by middlebelter(m): 10:51am On Apr 25, 2020 |
I am very worried about this development and more worried in particular about lack of unified policy through Africa Union (AU) on Chinese migration to Africa. I considered it a great threat not only to Nigeria but to the most vulnerable countries in Africa that have fallen victim of China's Greek loan. We are approaching another horrendous Colonialism in Africa and our leaders are blinded by greed and absolute lack of foresight to see the danger inherent in China 's policy on investment. My take, if China must invest in Africa, migration of Chinese to Africa must be strictly restricted to expatriate with limited years of stay. If they are not comfortable with such policy from Africa, let them take their investment somewhere else. I there say, China has no alternative if we stand united as a continent on this matter. Our land and mineral resources are their targets, if we make the second mistake, it will be more costly than the first, then we will realise that Western Colonialism is a joke when compared with the brutal Chinese type. Africa Union, ECOEAS, SABC etc over to you. Assembly best of brains in Africa and developed a format on best of ways to respond to Chinese threats. 3 Likes |

Listen and understand the following : You are the architect of your own fortune or misfortune, sound decision is what you need to succeed and good relationships with God. Now as a medical student please face your study and excel, it may be difficult but you have to forget about the lady completely (at least for now). Don't allow her to play on your emotions because that can affect your performance and God forbids if you fail, she will mock you. I doubt if she deserves your love. Ask yourself, and be very objective, what is/ are attracting me to this girl? Is it her beauty, you can get a more beautiful girl, it is her brain, you can get a more brilliant girl and perhaps is it her love for you? When you finish your MBBS successfully, you can take your time to look for the sound attributes you desire and go for it But to get stocked with a woman that does not love you is attempting to shake water out of a mighty Iroko tree. Don't try it you will only hurt yourself. Marry the one who love you more than you love her and your love for that person will grow as you see her exhibits love for you. Finally, I doubt if this girl is telling you the truth about her mother. It maybe she's targeting another man and probably has even used your money to travel to the other man's place. You can test this by asking her to allow you greet her mother. 3 Likes |

I have been married for about 12years and I will responding from the point of my experience. Three months after child birth through Cs is too early for you to allow a misunderstanding because of sex. Apart from the biological adjustments her body will be going through because of her condition, remember it also has some emotional impacts on her. This is a woman you love and you love her not only because of sex? So, if she's not submitting to your sexual request for now, allow her to be, breastfeeding and the healing process of the CS may be taking its toll on her. Even after several years of marriage my wife will just simply tell me she's not in the mood and sometime when the process is on she will just decide she not doing again. On the average any man will be upset with such treatment but that is where maturity come to play and that is why people regards married men as responsible men. It takes a real man to manage a woman and not misbehaving. I will therefore implore you to give her a break for sometime, then call her express your pain and ask her to tell you what exactly was happening then. Tell her you know that on a good day she won't behave that way but you need to understand her better so that you will know how best to relate with her. Remember you people are still in the learning stage even after 10 years, you are still learning to understand each other. Love her, she is taking care of your baby. 7 Likes |

In my own opinion and based on the story you gave, that your husband's friend has no right to visit your house when his friend is nit around, why did he not call his friend before coming and what right has he to send you in errand? I am a man with well over 10years in marriage, if it were a professional body you will give me the rank of a fellow after 10 years isn't it? Listen it is either the man have no self respect, or he has no respect for your husband. I won't take it kindly with a friend that come visiting when an not around only to insist my wife go buy him recharge card. By getting angry, it shows he has a sinister motive. What if you accept to go and he latter plants strange objects in your house while you are away with the immature manner he has displayed, he is capable of wrecking havoc. On the part on your husband, I think there are other details you choose nit to disclose. If he has self respect, he should have given you the benefits of fear hearing and doubt. So, for the sake of peace, apologise but be very watchful and avoid the man as much as possible. If possible insist your husband should provide surveillance cameras in your house and watch his every steps whenever he comes visiting. |

Is it too much and you calling them names. Imagine if the table is turned around, will you be happy if Christian dominates without giving Muslims there fear share? The Lagos and Ogun States you are referring to are still being dominated by Muslims. Bola Tinubu is a Muslim Muslim and has been deciding the Governors of Lagos, after two Muslims, because he's a democrat, he gave Christian chance. I doubt if you are really a Yorubaman, indeed I have every reason to suspect that you just happen to speak/write the language. Your disposition is more like a chronic Fulanis Muslim that want to dominate everything. An average Yoruba man does not share your sentiments. Continue. 1 Like |
