jagorinho: why are people always ashamed of their lineage because of worthless social medial likes? you are Igbo and you are worse than an infidel for denying your roots. An igbo man that is yet to fix his pathetic region will fix Nigeria ? They have the most incompetent group of leaders in the country.
Presidency is not bonanza, they will work for it, era of cheap blackmail is over.
It sure is. Yorubas are the only ones who had considered giving them a fair shake and they’ve consistently attacked and maligned every Yoruba political move over the past 50 years. I’m glad there are a GROWING number of young Yorubas waking up. Scream from here to kingdom come, we will NOT give you ANYTHING! You will have to compete and take it from us. Unfortunately history doesn’t fare well will for you lot in that regard.
Honestly a Yoruba/Fulani led Nigeria is better anyway. The Igbos are too unpredictable and inconsistent politically. Look how quickly Kanu was able to turn their region to a terrorist and unknown gunmen run region. And they were still defending them up until the point where people are dying every other day helter skelter. Heck they still defend ESN despite the chaos they’re adding to the region by not being accountable to anyone. We TOLD THEM that they should follow Amotekun and implement a govt supported regional security network. They didn’t listen and were too prideful AS THEY ALWAYS ARE and even once they realized we were right not only was it too late because ESN had a foothold, Ebubeagu was the most PATHETIC regional security network in the whole world.
They are just NOT built for nation and empire building. Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis have proven to be historically skilled at building nations and empires. They Igbos HAVEN’T! That’s just a fact. So I’ve stopped thinking they should get a presidential shot and started thinking it would be better if they didn’t. At least not the way they are currently. Their leadership is dog shit, they will admit this to themselves yet they want their dog shit leaders that continues to force their populace to other regions due to bad governance, to lead Nigeria. Won’t happen.
Fantastic development. By this time next year Lagos will be resembling a world class city with the Red line and others also coming, onwards to greater heights. World class high speed interstate trains are next.
Also, Obasanjo was busy seizing Lagos funds when he was President and Tinubu was Governor. That man is a disgrace. This is what he should’ve been doing.
SlyDev: Don't you want to go to Biafra again, now u are wetting your pant because you are afraid 1.1bn can not feed 40m people Ndi soup stealer
This is the absolute truth. You said you support him to take igbos and biafrans away and he’s now cursing. What kind of madness is that Clear sign all of that is a play to power grab
seunmsg: If he was truly convicted, he should have been sentenced to a prison term by now. All the news I have read so far are silent about the sentencing. Was he convicted of terrorism without sentencing?
They are shameless in their fake news. They think everyone also lacks a brain like them. For Punch news to post fake news that a simple google check will debunk shows how trash the news currently is.
SlyDev: Igbo should be adeyinka grandson supporters, he wanted the same thing as you guys, restructure Nigeria or break Nigeria. Don't all Igbo want to leave Nigeria and go to Biafra?
Just as Igbo are pissed off by fulani taking over their forest, adeyinkais pissed too
Igbo don't want fulani and Yoruba lording it over them in their own ancestral land Adeyinka hate Igbo and Fulani lording over yoruba in their ancestral land
We need more of Adeyinka Grandson
Agreed 100%. If they really want Biafra they would support him. But they know that if he got support their feasting on yorubaland jobs and opportunities will be curtailed and limited for Yoruba youths. So they would rather support omo ale Yoruba liberals that are clever by half.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, HE IS NOT CONVICTED. Trial is still ongoing. Anything else you see fake news by Igbos.
Conservatives of every group will always put the needs of the focus group above all else. This is the first time an African developed an African centered conservative ideology (not a liberal one). This alone is a threat to the UK and their hegemony on Nigeria’s affairs.
sokera: Adeyinka Grandson live in UK and Nnamdi Kanu also live in UK … all these while Nnamdi Kanu was saying trash they didn’t arrest him but before AG said Igbos and Fulani should leave yoruba land or risk being killed he was arrested … AG was right when he said British , Igbos and Fulani are undermining yoruba nation greatness … AG we the yoruba conservative are strongly with you no matter what … forever we are with you …
1000% we have to admit that any relevance the Yoruba have within this country is DESPITE what the UK government has done to stifle it. They would rather fulanis head the country, and then followed by igbos. Yoruba Nationalists will ALWAYS support Adeyinka Grandson.
Vinstel: Illiteracy is disease, Go and first learn how to read and understand before coming to pollute people's mentions with you ignorant opinions. Where did you see me arguing that Obi didn't commit any offence? Non declaration of the totality of your assets before taking office is an offence but that doesn't make you a thief, it's his own assets and even the so called Pandora leaks said it was his own, it didn't accuse him of stealing it just that he didn't completely declare it before taking office. I am simply asking all of you moronic ignoramuses who called Obi a thief to provide any concrete evidence of his stealing any public funds. You clowns are finding it impossible to provide any evidence yet you are blabbing up and down like deranged he goats. Rather than seeing any supposed increase in the number of "woke" yorubas, what I am rather seeing is multiplication of dumb, irrational and foolish Yoruba lunatics all over nairaland.
It’s not an offense, it’s AGAINST THE LAW. Which makes Obi a CRIMINAL. Him stealing has yet to be proven, but likely if he didn’t want to declare his assets. Where exactly did I say he stole something? Your reading comprehension is lacking. Regardless, stealing or not, it doesn’t make what he did less of a crime by the law. Is that elementary enough for you? Or do you need further explanation.
Vinstel: By woke Yorubas, I guess you mean stupid Yorubas. So because your tribesman was accused of being a thief then you will go about accusing innocent people from other tribes of being thieves and insisting their people must accept that they are thieves without providing a single evidence to back up your accusations? It's only a stupid person that will have this kind of reasoning. If you have any evidence that Obi is a thief then provide it and stop making foolish arguments based on primordial sentiments rather than facts.
Oh so you need evidence to prove Obi is a criminal when the Nigerian constitution itself says that you cannot take office without fully declaring all your assets, which makes what he did a CRIME, which makes Obi a CRIMINAL. But Tinubu was tried and acquitted of all wrongdoings in the court of law. Yet he is worse in your eyes? You Yorubaphobic Igbo tribalists are getting exposed as the hypocrites you are more and more everyday. Glad we’re finally getting woke Yorubas all over this platform to checkmate your nonsense.
This is BEAUTIFUL! A wonderful hub to build upon and invite Yorubas from Brazil, Cuba, and Benin back to Yorubaland.
And for the love of God can we stop calling them “Colonial Masters”?!? I always hear older Nigerians say this. They’re IMPERIALISTS & COLONIZERS. Let’s put them in the proper context. They aren’t the master of anyone.
hollah123: when u are ready u will tell us where u are really from
Have u forgotten how Donald duke messed up the tinapa project?
We know u just hate tinubu but your hate is opening everyone eyes now n we can see u just want to bring down tinubu so as to promote your own leaders that aren't any better than him.
U can see many people now support tinubu now n it's not about getting paid or something, it's because we have all seen your motives.
Your hate for him is bringing political re-awakening in Yoruba land n we won't make d mistake we made with awolowo n abiola here
The bolded is so true. That’s what gives me hope with the woke Yorubas. Those still asleep will also be awoken forcefully in time. We’re don’t have any need for Yoruba uncle toms that want to make everyone else happier than their own people.
obynzo: Did they use the public till to finance the business? They have the IRS and other agencies that know the source of the business. Can you tell me what money Tinubu made to start First Nation Airline, TVC and others as a governor. How much was his salary as governor how much was he paid in Mobil to start a business like that?
Can you prove it was started and built by illegal means? If so please provide the PROOF.
There are so many Yorubas doing big things, they just remain humble and get to work. No shouting, no attention seeking. See below on a real estate mogul that built one of the most luxurious estates in Abuja. Never even heard of him before.
Shaolin77: After going through this thread, to be honest apart from tech, i still can't pinpoint what sector the yorubas dominate in Nigeria. IGBOS ARE STILL THE RICHEST TRIBE IN NIGERIA AS THEY CONTROL MOST SOLID SECTOR IN NIGERIA
Do you feel better? Has your ego been fed? Have you pounded on your chest enough and screamed from the mountain like king Kong long enough? Great, now you can go. The Great Yoruba people would like to continue our conversations without your nuisance.
