[s]In 2011, the NC supported GEJ and Buhari lost.

In 2015, the NC supported Buhari and GEJ lost.

Who has the 'PC' in APC (Spoiler alert: CPC).

More than 11 of all APC state wins were because of Buhari not Tinubu.

Who funded Buhari/PYO primary win if not Amaechi? Tinubu couldn't even match Atiku's finance.

I told you I'd make you hate yourself.

Always overplaying the influence of the SW. Obasanjo didn't even need your votes to win elections.

Buhari is grateful to Tinubu because he has a brain and knows no one is an island. Buhari also appreciated GEJ for organizing a free and fair elections and giving up power without bloodshed. We all know if Obasanjo was in GEJ shoes, 2 million Tinubus+Buhari wouldn't have won because OBJ doesn't believe in fair play.

That is the difference between every other Nigerian and SWs. Kano and Katsina gave more votes to Buhari than the entire SW. If Buhari was a Yoruba man, he would not even acknowledge Tinubu. That is how egocentric and out of depth you guys are.

Always trying to prove something you guys are not.

If the NC had voted for GEJ like they did in 2011, Buhari would have lost. GEJ already got 40+% of the votes in SW in your backyard.

In Lagos, GEJ got 632,327 votes as against Buhari's 792,460. In Lagos, Tinubu's Empire. Compare that to Katsina and you'd see that Buhari is only trying to be fair by acknowledging the SW. The North already had 2015 in their pockets courtesy of Boko Haram and the Chibok kidnap, they just needed to fool Tinubu to abandon his fledging GEJ alliance for an imaginary VP position they never intended to give him.

And the result is clear to see. In 2011, GEJ allowed Tinubu to build AC into a SW powerhouse slowly growing into SS with Edo, altogether having 5 states, when he could have quashed Tinubu and AC like OBJ did to AD in 2003.

In 2015, when Tinubu broke the alliance, he lost AC to CPC and can only boast of 3 states (Lagos, Osun and Edo) out of over 20 APC states.

So crawl back to your cave and sleep in your mediocrity. Running your mouth like a running tap.

-Lord[/s]

Bunkum!

What is NC?

Have you forgotten Kwara and Kogi usually align with the SW?

PMB had won the 2015 election prior to the d-day courtesy of the SW.

Tinubu personally approached Buhari for an alliance that birthed APC.Had Tinubu stayed put in ACN his comfort zone, APC would never have been formed, PMB would never have contested as he had declared his 3rd attempt as his last in 2011, and GEJ would have won the 2015?

Why are these known facts/series of events difficult for you to process as the reason SW rightfully claims to have handed PMB the presidency in 2015?

Are you a dullard

At least you now agree, Dora had nothing to do with GEJ becoming acting president.

DrGoodman:
Okonjo iweala is not osinbade who threw away his education to stand behind a stark illiterate

At least 'Osinbade' is now acting president.

Will Okonjo Iweala be that lucky Never!

LordAdam16:
[s]
You are the one typing loads of bullshit...

Dora Akinyuli did something that your Lai Mohammed and Adesina didn't have the guts to do in the face of overwhelming adversity.


She said her principal was incapacitated. Adesina and Mohammed didn't even have the guts to tell us that Buhari was taking medical trips despite it being public knowledge.

And it was because of her statement that made the South unite to stand behind GEJ.

That was the first time since 1999 that the South had faced that kind of adversity and clearly it didn't happen smoothly because it was the first time it happened in Nigeria. Buhari handing over power to Osinbajo is to offset the kind of instability that happened when Yar'Adua didn't. It is called progress. For example, in the past US Presidents were assassinated. Today that is almost impossible. It is called progress.
[/s]

Rubbish!

I watched the Dora's live ministerial screening as GEJ's minister she almost swore that she went to raise several prayer points at a catholic church for Yar'Adua's quick recovery when she was confronted by the abokkis for betraying her boss.

[s]The South West did not do anyone a favor to support GEJ in 2009. The entire South voted for the Yar'Adua/GEJ joint ticket. Unlike in 2015. So when Yar'Adua left the scene, GEJ was the obvious choice for everyone from Benue to Ogun to Delta to Imo. That is 4 of the 6 regions in Nigeria. NW and NE didn't stand a chance.

The same Afenifere that stood by GEJ in 2009 and 2011 were disowned by the political elite of the SW in 2015.

But when it's time to recognize what they did for GEJ, you'll call them SWesterners. The same way you guys would call FFK and Fayose rogues when they go against the popular SW direction, but you would call them SWs supporting GEJ when the narrative suits you guys.

You guys are scums, like seriously. No honor. No truth.

The SS/SE despises Amaechi despite the fact that he is in the ruling government. You would not see a SS/SEner boasting on a public forum that after all, it was our oil dollars that gave Buhari and Osinbajo the APC presidential ticket. We don't want anything to do with his government or a traitor. That's honor.

When we support a person, we support that person to hell and back. We had Obasanjo's back from 1999 to 2007 and it was a SEner that saved the country from crisis when OBJ didn't want to let go. You don't see the SE jumping up and down that we supported the SW presidency and did the whole country a favor.

We are not you bunch of two-faced hypocrites who ALWAYS overstretch the role they play. The International community already wanted GEJ to takeover and there is nothing that would have happened to GEJ without the country going up in flames. The NC, SS, SE already had his back. Was Save Nigeria Group Movement the only group that protested against the Yar'Adua cabal? Was Soyinka the only icon to protest in 2009?

You make it sound like Tunde, Soyinka, and Obasanjo were the only influential Nigerians who supported GEJ.

Even Buhari asked NASS to impeach Yar'Adua!

So what are you yapping about.

So shut your smelly trap about SW installing GEJ. The South and Middle Belt alliance with friends in other regions and outside the country installed GEJ. You guys that couldn't install Awolowo, led MKO to the slaughter, want to claim victory in a fight with many actors.

2009 was evidence that a Southern/NC alliance was unstoppable.

Just type trash again, I'll make you hate yourself.

Nonsense!

[/s]

In 2011, SW supported GEJ and he won and Buhari lost.

In 2015, SW supported PMB and he won and GEJ lost.

Who created the APC?

Who funded it largely?

Who controlled the media including social media?

Come on, even PMB and Aisha have been grateful to the SW/Tinubu for their success at the polls.

If GEJ didn't need SW votes, why did he go about bribing our Obas with hard currency?

Why did he almost live in the SW prior to the election

We couldn't install Awolowo. Yes. In 2015, we were wiser...

Obasanjo reaped where Abiola sowed.

flatiyeassterners who couldn't stop begging PMB for forgiveness as soon as he won the election in 2015 - thronging his residence day in day out - are the most unstable, two-faced and hypocritical scums I have ever known in my life.

Even today, they are looking for every flimsy excuse and opportunity to defect to APC. Theodore Orji had to be rejected outright. Ikpeazu is already scheming.

If flattiyeasterners had half the appointments Yorubas have gotten from PMB so far or occupied nos 2, 3 and 6 in the order of precedence, they'll be his staunchest supporters - performance or no performance.

Pathetic souls!

I'm no regular Nairalander, I'll treat your fccck up anytime anyday.

Feraz:
[s]The way some of you twist history eh!!! Was it not Dora Akunyili of blessed memory who first spoke out against the cabal Yar'Adua exposed, asking that GEJ be made acting president if Yar'Adua was not fit enough before Wole Soyinka and other Nigerians from various ethnic groups picked up the call before she was termed a traitor by some NASS members for that? You talk as if Yorubas were the only ones who fought to put GEJ there!!!

All of a sudden, the iconic lady's achievement is belittled!!

Cc: LordAdam16, Platteon, ephi123, you see as people take dey turn things around?[/s]

This above bullllshit is falsehood raised to power infinity.

Is Dora Akunyili Pastor Tunde Bakare who created the Save Nigeria Group movement and led protests to Aso rock?

Is Dora Akunyili Olusegun Obasanjo who made sure he saw Yar'Adua in person when he travelled to see him and then returned home and advised him to resign?

What of Wole Soyinka, Afenifere...

And so on and so forth.

During Dora's screening as GEJ's minister, didn't she swear in the senate chambers that she raised prayer points towards Yar'Adua's recovery in the Catholic church when she was accused of betraying Yar'Adua?

ehie:
Acting President that cannot swear in ministers nor sign budget, is that one an acting president.De Nile is a river in Egypt

Are you a dullard

How many times will Osinbajo tell you that he will sign the budget as soon as he gets it

https://www.nairaland.com/3805397/osinbanjo-sign-2017-budget-presidency

Remember, he is a professor of law.

ehie:
reno dont fight for the afonjas, they love being raped by their masters, we from middle belt, south south and south east should just watch, when the whole system collapses we leave

Nairaland ladies are one of a kind...

afonjas who fought to enthrone GEJ (when the middle belt, south south and south east were all quiet) will also see this one through by God's grace.

By the way, Osinbajo is already acting president. It took GEJ almost 9 months after Yar'Adua left the nation for GEJ to attain the status unlike in PYO's case where PMB rightly handed over to him before departing.

Now, that's class.

Please respect your masters - Yorubas, afonjas.

Exactly!

Flatiyeasterners wont see this one o!

They'd rather look for the old mischievous threads.

fpeter:
This is really sad, to think this was her first child. She must have really looked forward to the life of motherhood. sad!

Go back and read the post.

osinbanjoisaliar:
[s]It's not a question of If, but When. The coordinator and his brownroofer brothers are easy pushovers. All the northern imperial complex have to do is to leave the barracks and head into aso rock. Jonathan was able to evade a coup from the north, which had the blessing of the US president and secretary of state, by simply turning to the indefatigble eastern old guard. With the igbos behind him, the north which had tested the resilient mettle of the igbos during the civil war, and were not ready for another torrid adventure, simply shelved their plans and returned to the drawing board.
If osinbanjo wants to keep on playing acting president, he has only one option. To ditch his brothers and beg the east to come to his rescue. Anything other than this is just a measure in futility.[/s]

Amukunmeko!

Osinbajo is unstoppable!! God is behind him.

DrGoodman:
Since you have it, have it stopped your family from living in IDP camps? How many months is your state governors owing salaries? How many families are begging food in your region with all your presidencies?

We need our own presidency in the land of the rising sun

Sour grapes!

Flatiyeasterners are already salivating at the thought of Okonjo Iweala running as Atiku's running mate in 2019.

Yeye!!

Osinbajo has promised to sign the budget when as soon as it reaches his desk.

That is the latest report we have - Thursday morning.

Flatyeasterners can go and play with sand.

DLondonboiy:
You see why I said osibanjo does not know anything!

The 60 year old man is just behaving like a goat..

You are the goat here because you cant recognise fake news.

PMB cant be reached at the moment and he wont like to be disturbed.

NothingDoMe:
Hehehe. How does this stop you from being warned by the north?

I think it's the most painful experience for you guys so far. Saw some westerners crying that day....

Then the chest beating began...........

.....to finally end in the naughty corner.

Please show me the warning!

Is it northern leaders agreeing to waiting till 2019 or Buratai warning soldiers and swearing to defend the constitution?

Mujaheeeden:
Guess his age

Whose age?

NothingDoMe:
Spare me the sob story! The north will warn you guys again and you will be quiet. You may beat your chest like the normal alaye but later you will go to your naughty corner and chill.

Am loving this new funky relationship between the north and south west.

Please give instances.

Abacha died ahead of Abiola.

Obasanjo became president in his stead and served 2 terms

Olu Falae's abductors have bagged life imprisonment

Mile 12 market will soon be relocated

Arrested Ife warriors have mostly been released

Osinbajo is acting president (God and the world are behind him)

The truth is bitter.

E pain am!

IgbosAreGreat:
lets just keep our fingers crossed for now

flattieyeasterners are desperately hungry for the VP position.

Slaves!

NothingDoMe:
Hahaha are you not mourning under the hardship of Buhari.

Suffering and smiling because you collected 2k

Who is talking about hardship here?

Will hypocritical flatiyeasterners not worship PMB and even use their tongues to lick his assss if he dare appoint them as SGF, COAS, Finance minister etc etc like GEJ did, hardship or no hardship

What if he promises them VP in 2019 Flatttiyeasterners will hail him more than Mary...

Alariwo2:
Ignore that thing jare..
They are pained Osinbajo has good relationship with Buhari and they have been reduced to nothing in the scheme of things

It gladdens my heart to see them rant online daily.. empty barrels dem

True!

However, the ranting seems to give them joy (taunting Yorubas is the last straw they have to grasp unto even as they desperately search for relevance in the Nigerian state to no avail) unless one slaps their flat heads back to reality which I am committed to doing from time to time.

When a lie is repeated severally, it may become the truth. Many people wrongly rely on Nairaland for facts/information.

We must not allow any morrronic flattieyeasterner to misinform them.

They will mourn GEJ's 2015 election loss forever!

osinbanjoisaliar:
[s]My original and true Presido. The only southern VP to outscheme the northern mafia and replace their son as President.
If the brownroofers want their houseboy of a pastor to outwit the northern imperial complex, they should send the jagabuffoon to oteuke on his hands and knees to beg for advice and guidance.[/s]

Ayiri!

Osinbajo is on course and God is behind him.

He will succeed all the way...

PapaBrowne:
I don't know how to upload videos on Nairaland. So I will just post a link to the video.

"Only The first three kings of Lagos were of Benin Ancestry". Need I say any more?

Nothing existed in most of Lagos when the Binis got there. In just a few parts there were very tiny settlements without any centralized authority. A few Binis settled in and took charge. No war, no disputes which is an apparent sign that it was family settlements that existed and not tribal settlements. The Aworis were present. The Binis were present. And probably other tribes.

Now what beats my imagination is how an a Yoruba man from Osun would be screaming other tribes should leave Lagos that the city belongs to him when the entirety of Lagos Island is called Eti-Osa, a very clear Benin name.

But like I said, Binis are not claiming Lagos neither are we even claiming Benin. We are forward thinkers and don't glory in the past. We know for sure that the cities of the future would have citizens of every tribe so we have no interest in tribal ownership of a city.

Stop revising history.

Yorubas(Aworis are bona fide Yorubas) had been living in Lagos long before the Binis came,

They were being terrorised by Dahomey warriors from time to time. They turned to Oyo for help but it wasnt dependable because the Alaafin at the time was unwilling to maintain a garrison/military post in Lagos.
(The Alaafin founded modern day Ikoyi and it has it's own Oba, the Onikoyi of Ikoyi)
This led the Aworis to turn to Bini for military protection which they got.

Ogunfunminire and his family were the leader of the Aworis in Lagos at the time.

Eti Osa is different from Etinosa; Eti Osa means 'Edge of the Lagoon' in Yoruba. I dont know what Etinosa means in Bini.

I dont know why you guys assume every Yoruba on NL is from Oyo/Osun.
What a faulty/baseless assumption!

It seems flatiyeasterners are on their own.

Nobody in the real world is buying their hate, envy and jealousy-embedded ideas which screams - "Because I cant have it, nobody should have it".

Shame on flatiyeasterners!

They will be so disillusioned/disoriented/devastated by this news.

EzekaUdene:

Nonsense
Osibanjo is a vagabond

And your father is what

A nincompoop

PapaBrowne:
We know our history well. We have a better right to laying claim to Lagos than the Yoruba man from Osun or Ijebu has.
Even the Oba of Lagos in a video made it very clear who the real Kings of Lagos are.

But you know what, we are Binis and we live for the future not in the past. We believe that the cities that would thrive in the future welcomes all and sundry, notwithstanding race, tribe or creed. And that's why even Benin City where we are rooted is today one of the most multicultural cities in Nigeria.


Its only a lazy brain that would be arguing about who owns Lagos. Lagos is a future it and has welcomed all and sundry. Funnily I've never heard a true historical Lagosian argue about the ownership of Lagos. Its only those from nearby hinterlands that shout Lagos belongs to my tribe. What the heck does that even mean sef? Plots of land are sold out to individual owners and not to tribes!

Where and when did the Oba make it clear that Kings of Lagos are Bini?

Only the first 3 kings of Lagos - Ado, Ashipa(Esikpa) and Gabaro were of Bini ancestry.

Gabaro had no child; this prompted his sister, a princess, to marry the Ijesha high priest at the time to produce the current line of Obas of Lagos.

No to coup d'état!

RIP

What!!!!!!!

She played such an emotional character in a super story series of 13 years ago which endeared her to me.

RIP !!!

It does not concern Acting President Osinbajo.

They can do anyhow they like...

timecapsule:
OSIBANJO! OSIBANJO!! OSIBANJO!!! How many times did i called you. They have said that as BUHARI is not there that nobody is there, meaning that you are insignificant at the presidency there.

I will not remind you to watch you back, because i didn't know if you are an ABUBAKU (dieing with the king).

Osinbajo has said he will sign the budget:

Goandsiddan!

facelessangel:
so this is the thank you I am getting for being angry with what your brother is going through.?
I hope you will hire all the pastors in Redeemed Church to pray your brother out of this condition

The thread below will definitely leave you in emotional pains

Odingo1:
Afonjas are slaves to the north,flattieyeasterners are the boss men,they dont sit on the fence and bow to the winner of a battle,they go out to do the battle and bear the consequences.

Do slaves rule?

Come on, flatiyeasterners are the real slaves, they never rule!

And yes, they will always bear the consequence of their foolish, not-well-thought-out actions which has made them 3rd class citizens (i.e. slaves) according to Orji Uzor Kalu (2013).

kelechi17:
are u sure he is acting president because lai Mohammed today said there is no one to sign the budget wen d coordinator was supposed to..u can read vanguard newspaper now to get enlightened

Have you seen the thread below?

https://www.nairaland.com/3805397/osinbanjo-sign-2017-budget-presidency

The Professor of Law is smarter than you flatiyeasterners and any cabal...

Sorry!

Azuorjiakor:
FORMER Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, yesterday, refuted claims that his progenitor, Obanikoro of Lagos, was not from Bini Kingdom, Edo State.

Setting the records striaght, the former Minister clarified that the legendary Obanikoro was an Awori from Idiluwo-Ile in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos.


He, however, faulted the account of the former Minister of Works, Chief Femi Okunnu who said Obanikoro was from Benin saying the account was false.....


http://www.streetcurb.com/2017/05/17/my-family-not-from-benin-says-musiliu-obanikoro/

Only flatiyeasterners are trying hard to ascribe much of Lagos culture and heritage to Benin in order to spite Yorubas.

The Binis have NEVER deceived themselves as regards their status/place in Lagos and its history/heritage.

No true Bini man claims Lagos!
