I was at game at the palms yesterday, stroller for 43k! I jump and pass. Buying will be my last option, but if anybody is looking t get rid of one, I de here o!

I was about to fire you call to ask where you keep your own??




Someone led by the spirit, please throw yours our way... Thanks in anticipation, God bless you & all yours.

Sugbon kini? So oro to wa ninu okan e.

Will our Lawmakers face what they were sent to do in NASS & stop Abobakuing & fighting over orangey, apply & watermelony committees ??

We need champions to push forward the desires of our region.but once they get in there, the fight becomes how to secure the next Assembly's ticket....

I'm hopeful though, just thinking of the pitfalls..

Ibebe:
Ogun state is becoming fucking rich.

1. Lots of investors

2. Becoming 2nd ICT hub in Nigeria

3. Large amount of gold and other natural resources.


Mehn .....

Pleasant news......Nice...

Yorubaland is caked up to the Nth degree but .......

tupacshakur:
Until mining is withdrawn from the exclusive list of the constitution to the concurrent or residual list, then the gold mines beneath the soils of Ilesha would be as worthless as Freeglobe's last menstrual pad.

Senators and Reps members of Osun extraction should pass a bill in both houses as regards this mining issue.

Bwaaaahahahhaha

I'm not supposed to laugh but couldn't help myself..

MayorofLagos:
Gossiping is part reason why some come to work daily. If you ban it at work place they would find the job hostile. Lol

.... Do you know how many faces I'm looking at in my head?

Ibebe:
By investing in regional groups like DAWN + SWIT that are currently encouraging agriculture in the SW.


As per mining, may Obatala give Fayemi the wisdom to make mining state regulated. After that, we can begin to talk about the specifics.
Do we even have quarries in Nigeria?

As per freeglobe, it's a he. I've already reported the thread. Let them talk nna nna for 1 hr, e go tire them.

Me i don't pay 95% of my mentions any mind...

Ipako o gbo shuti, ori elegan lobaje...



@iyalode,
We are talking of reality not Idealism

Do you know how many votes Fayemi lost by insisting Teachers take competency tests in subjects they were sipposed to be experts in

Abeg nor let me laugh....

This is NIGERIA not UTOPIA...


@General House..


I don tire for this talk... let's die it , no one is ready to shift position in this highly contentious discuss...

raumdeuter:
Which is why I ask. Because we can stay here and rail all day but with that mammoth wage bill aka welfarism we are not going anywhere soon

Who would bell the cat.

Btw I was in Ife oau between 1997 and 2004

That's nice, Greatest gbagba..

Just posed the bolded to you too..

But we are hoping our political investment will yield maximum profit in greater diversification of the economy & the SW will be in the fore front...

Ibebe:
Farming and living within ones means.

You can't be making Toyota and thinking to buy Lamborghini. You gotta work for it.

Make our cocoa and palm oil business lucrative again.

How do we make it happen? I'm 150% for that...

Mining is another option, but how do we translate it from idea to reality ??

Your sister freeglobe just created a thread & invited her acolytes to battle... I can't stop laughing...

Cc; gbawe & Aareonakakanfo

raumdeuter:
What is the realistic solution to the huge recurring expenditure every state is burdened with monthly which is mainly salaries

Bros unless we are intent on lying to ourselves, Nothing FOR NOW!!.

If people are laid off, with no other kind of industry to absorb them, & also bearing in mind that our financial institutions are not programmed to support SMEs,.......


WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES??

FreeGlobe:
This is my problem with you tribalistic yorubas. Why must everything be about igbos? Is this not supposed to be a yoruba thread or you want us to invade and tear this thread apart? Now that you removed the shoeless one and put the dull one, how market? Have yorubas been able to occupy the "strategic seats" we occupied during the time of the shoeless one. It's envy and covetousness that will kill foolish yorubas like you. Let me see you again in praising buhari on nairaland. You have been noted and this your post has been entered into the archives.

Like i told you in the past, & will continue to .... "No one gets anywhere FAST by stopping to throw stones at every rabid canine that snarls or glares at one..

Take yourself off & go back to the places where you chest beat about an eldorado that won't happen...

Your major problem is inability to think deep & comprehend posts that sail beyond your meagre sound judgement & reasoning....

You see posters online & begin to act all crazy & mentioning them to engage in E war with you, something must be lacking in your everyday life!!..

If for any reason i won't support PMB any longer, i have not seen any inkling of it..... Now he is still BAE!

Now go have several seats on a bed of barb wired nails...

*Mic drop* ... future mentions ignored, won't let mannerless louts derail this!!!!

Aareonakakanfo . .. Apologies...

Firefire:
Like M said, we should remove the log of wood in our eyes before we can see clearly to remove from others...

If the western states beginning from Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo etc can fully utilize all their IGR + their individual state share from the federation account (26% State + 26.5% for LGA) + the SUREP allocation + their respective share from the Excess crude oil account, without any misappropriation, PLEASE, WHY DO WE STILL NEED ALL THIS HUGE LOANS...

Eje ka ba ra wa so oto oro...

Fire de!!! Ajala ta ni no ooo ....

My post fit right into your bias ba??

You are always here to hammer on the inadequacies of the SW govs but will scurry away when the cupabilities of your party at the FEDERAL LEVEL.. is being highlighted..

States isn't my forte but I've been here prior to OBJ so we can tell the real story not your party's version..

Your intentions aren't pure & we ALL know it.....


Nuff said about this, will be in Ghost mode till we move on to the next..

Just jejely return, i can't claim it is fake but it's better to stick with what one know, Used many, never seen any written in Arabic...

Ehn ehn, sent someone to get for me but came back to tell me it's 3,100, last i bought was 2,200.. Eelo ni baayi?

Shymm3x:
A Yoruba person should never put party interests before the Yoruba cause. What is wrong is wrong, we don't have to sugarcoat it. If folks aren't performing, we have to call them out. At the end of the day, there are a lot of pages on here where we celebrated certain developments in the SW. How come these folks never had a problem with that? We're not robots.

Shy, what exactly is the yoruba cause? ...
you do realise that Yoruba folks who don't carry cards but must align someplace where their agitations will be met?


You don't realise the peculiarity of the situation in Nigeria, we practise politics of exclusion & yorubas are tired of swimming against the tide!!!

You can't use the west as a yardstick here, we have different realities, E.g when you post about NID doing us proud, i love it, up its LIKE quota but sincerely don't remember them the next day cos it is not my REALITY...

Did the shoeless one perform? But Romanis were ready to go to hades for me cos he put their people in strategic posts .....

The former SGF got to the office of the SGF of the federation, posted out all the SWners & the Malas & proceeded to go to the East to import everything with certificate from there into the FEDERAL service on 2 grades above what should ordinarily be , & he got away with it cos they had political power..

The yoruba cause is one that will see it the progress of the SW & i am here for any character that will push it...

2011, i didn't vote for ACN/Ribadu cos i don't see no leadership quality in him.....


*sidebar* , still wondering the level 16 romani civil servant who stuck his head out for that dissident's bail, still wondering how he will be able to explain away having a land in central Abuja on a DD's Salary...

9jacrip:
Aunty mi, I'm glad pe e o binu si oro ti mo so. Agba ni agba a maa je l'ojo k'ojo.

I saw the romani's mentions spamming threads with what myself and Aare said to other Yoruba folks who thread hop to engage in online tribal fisticuffs.

Considering the foolishness of the romanis, I will go with your opninion of toning down then but it is imperative that we make sure we expose/pin point areas of failures as much as we celebrate successes here.

If we don't remove the speck from our eyes, what moral rights have we to point out another person's log ?

We must critique what is ours but it is better done in a way to identify with the struggle ......

Until we remove patronage & money from our politics, we will continue to go about like headless chicken...

I have one aunt in the Home town, to hear her talk you'd think her party's political appointees are there solely to solve her immediate & remote problems...

Talking about how Hon Lagbaja won't smell that seat again cos he didn't come for one ward chairman's birthday or how Governor Tamedun is not a "spender"..

We too are problems on our own side.....

superduperjay:
Aunty mi I am not homo but *kisses* we live here oo and many of us prefer to live in this places but that dosent mean we love debt. Yobe is least indebted can you live there??

*kisses* to you too , Damaturu of the killer harmattan & droughty dry season.... It was a whole year of horror ...

Shymm3x:
@ Aareonakakanfo

That's what I told you about getting too many folks involved on this thread cos it'll get too partisan. I know this forum cos I've been here for three years and a lot of folks are too partisan.

This is also the reason why Katsumoto stopped posting cos it's difficult to critique the so-called "Yoruba leaders" for their obvious failures. That's why these folks keep taking Yoruba folks as mugs.

Once you use the dynamics of the last elections as a yardstick and how close the election was in all SWern states, you'd see that a lot of Yoruba folks out there are tired of APC. But they just don't have a choice cos it's the lesser devil when compared to PDP.

Of course we'll get partisan, one doesn't have to be a political jobber to be partisan, we are human with emotions..... We live here & know where the shoes hurt!!

Being beaten to death & dying from sudden death are both DEATHS but one is easier & swifter than the other..

Of course we will go with the lesser evil, someone kindly create another party that will solve our problems & see if we won't support it wholeheartedly......

I live in a city where i have seen a family friend go from being a regular level 12 officer to being a serious multi millionaire on school subvention funds simply because of lack of checks & balances in the system....

We can't go with having no leader, it's one of the reasons Romanis keep making political gaffes, we can as well go with someone who is at least SERIOUS about wanting to make an effort...

The result of the last election wasn't close as some may imagine, I'm sure @Osomalo if he wants to be sincere can tell you how much resources was sunk into getting votes for the shoeless one....

I only know about events from most SW from hearsay but i am sure about Omuo-Ekiti , each vote was 2,000..

Fayose spared no expense to get things his way..


We may spend everyday here bellyaching, i still don't see how it will help our region be better in the face of our mono export & non diversified economy...

Osomalo:
I was angry when I saw the debt profile.

I'm sorry, I apologize to the House.

You notice I hardly have strong words for our SW leaders not only cos of Elder Gbawe but it doesn't sserve us right if we just group ourselves to create a thread & spend 90% complaing.

tupacshakur:
Aunty Modath, oro po ninu iwe kobo.

With due respect, I disagree with you on your stance. Let's criticize our SW leaders explicitly without mincing words. E jeki a bu won daa da! . Afterall, who have they helped, except their cronies and relatives?

As regards the Flat-heads' unwarranted and annoying poke-nosing into this thread, I think the best folks like you can do is to ignore them completely. But trust me, I'll pay them in their own coin.

That aside, I've been trying to figure out how you came about your moniker, "modath"...sounds like the name of an ancient Greek goddess. As google couldn't help, I tried stringing parts of some distinct words together but gave up after futile attempts. I thought of MODupe-ATHeist, but a lady Yoruba atheist is as rare as a virgin in a maternity ward. . I know the reason behind IlekeHD and Ibebe's moniker though.

Amaru, i don't engage them cos i don't want to disturb this great thread & maybe cos i can't cool down enough to type quarrel.... blood is hot & eyes are red mehn....

You don't detest these leaders as much as i do but i hate ALL OF THEM, I'm not compartmentalizing..


The difference is that this thread wasn't created to continue to moan about our "leaders" , (WE KNOW IT, ONLY AN OSTRICH WILL CLAIM OTHERWISE)..

It is to proffer viable ways to work through the albatross that they are to us, the Nation is skewed in a way that political office holders have been elevated to demi gods & only a collective will to progress will turn things round.

Maybe the Mof0 spamming those threads is what got to me..... but when we continue to call ours trash without pausing for breath., No fight when people dump their waste in it....

As per the username, it is a conglomeration of the initials of my nuclear family.... Atheism ke? I no get that mind, if i find out later God doesn't exist, no P but now let me have "something" to belief in & a place to wear beautiful voile laces to show off...

... , It's the yoruba thing, makes one get all hyper when one sees some words, we cool... ko si wahala..


But I'm not so upset, just that you didn't look at the flip side, ..... What good will we achieve if the only things we belabour on everyday is how horrible & bad "OURS" are?

I am one of the least politically correct person you will ever come across, i also don't take prisoners.... on our preggy & mum threads, i have been referred to as a "cyber bully on more than one occassion cos i don't molly coddle no one, i say it as it is & mean WHAT I SAY...

But one is supposed to criticise what is one's in a way that will not make mockery of our collective struggle...

This morning now, i saw one Romani claiming you & aare are denigrating SW & is also spamming several threads with same falsehood....

The whole country is Effed Up, SW is even better, come to FCT & see billions going down in FCDA & Devt Control with zero to show in infrastructures... Federal fa....

The way to go for this contraption is to either unbundle it or strict adherence to policies that will drag it out of the doldrums....

BTW, i wasn't so objective in my "yoot" as well .... I was in IFE during the Legacy, Africa et al struggle days.




@ Osomalo,

Your moniker reminds me of baba baba mi...

9jacrip:
Egbon mi, I have thought about the effect of giving a 'foe' ammunitions to attack us with but then how are we supposed to discuss pressing issues if we are not honest with and to ourselves?

We do not have any other platform exclusively reserved for us to open up about situations bothering on our region.

If we begin to censor, how else are some of us not present in or accessible to some locations supposed to get a clear picture of the situation there?

I would like to see how it goes if the house chooses to dumb things down.

So we can only have a "clear pictures" if we go the hyberbolic & negative in every assessment?? Didn't know a caricature pictorial of a down & out south west is the best route to take..

So sorry for coming up with such a "dumb" idea..

Bye & thanks..

Ritchiee,

Can we agree to pay the likes of Tonikristofa dust anytime they miss road enter this beautiful town hall of ours?? I glanced in early this morning & saw his many rejoinders to issues that not only don't concern him/his tribe but also completely sails above his intellectual capabilities & wakaed away....

When we engage them, they will have the impetus to invite their acolytes....

& ibebe, zimoni, Shymm3x, Aareonakakanfo, 9jacrip, iyalode , tupacshakur, et al...

I may be wrong & appeal to be excused for it but we aren't doing ourselves any favor by being EXTREMELY harsh (not that they dont deserve it & more) on our "Leaders" especially on this kind of board that anyone can just click & draw conclusions that weren't implied or intended in the first place....

The way i look at it is that " No parent shouts & list all the negative of his/her child in the presence or hearing of neighbourhood "Haters".... we are just providing ammunitions to attack us....

I detest most of our leaders but use less weighty words.

Thank you all..

I'm here for Putin...

The US does not have a God given mandate to "big brother" every other country in the world.....

Police internal policies through their economic hitmen, insist on recognition of sexual deviants, poke their noses in everything ......

They need to be brought back down to Earth!!

Ok. I think its time to share our story. In the spirit of giving back...

Though I have a nairaland account for many years, i became very active Sep 2015. I read all Part 1, some part 2 and have been up to date on part 3. That may explain why I might not have asked many questions as all of the info we used for our interview were detail we got from here......

Just did a clap for you in my mind...

KayLayChi:
Ewooo, ndo oh... Scratches head.

I don laugh belleful,

Osomalo:
E se pupo. I just registered this moniker. We don't die we multiply.

*chop knuckle* , can't keep the thrift collector down..


This our Ijesa Osomalo thing, i believe it was effective then cos Yoruba people have "itiju" .. Try it with a romanis, na dia you go stay & germinate..


O daaro, I'm sleep typing already...

Aareonakakanfo ..... Why do you Diaspora folks do night shift lori tiredi ? Your time zone isn't easy for us & by the time one wakes up, contribution to a subject matter is like closing the door after the horse waka comot...
