How Osinbanjo would extricate himself from the disaster which was Buhari's government in which he played a prominent role as number two, will be interesting.

After the euphoria, reality steps in...

He did his best as a vice president without any political leverage and power to do anything. You know this and all his distractors know too but since hate will never allow them to see road.

Another talented non head slamer northener.

Actually, he is an Afonja Muslim, the giant you normally see in your dream.

dawnomike:
He has paid his dues in Kannywood and Nollywood over time.

He is Yoruba though, my Ofa pips

Which electricity you wan use host this failure

Many you are too hateful or stupid to understand anything.

Dangote petrochemical plants have their own dedicated power plants that will generate electricity for the plants and other of its subsidiaries. Carry your negative energy elsewhere.

Esseite:
Tinubu's handlers should be writing his speech, the man is just gathering more political enemies while courting the SW into his personal political battle(ambition).

Buhari signing that electoral bill just dealth a huge blow on Godfatherism..

He is not!
He is a free born and deserves to he paid back for standing with Mohammodu Buhari. The Jagaban of Borgu is saying what should be said and we the good people of Nigeria are solidly behind him.

cocolacec:
If the Igbos shoulld continue with campaign of calumny against Any Yoruba leaders,Yorubas should boycott all Igbo businesses across Yorubaland.

The audacity to project Igbo interest in Lagos is what is problematic, to begin with. Why do these guys believe that there is anything called "Igbo interest" in a land that is not clearly Igboland is what we should question before even talking about boycotting their business.

Why are the Hausas, the Niger deltas, and other ethnic nationalities in Lagos with investment and stake in the city not pushing the same narrative?

NGpatriot:
The same Tinubu actually paved the way for igbo people to fully participate in everything in Lagos state from economic to political, administrative and social cultural activities.

Igbo people are the top presenters at Tinubu's TVC.


There are a million and one ways to secure your place at the table, but hostage taking, blackmail, tribalism, bigotry and denigration should not be your go to and default tools, unfortunately, many Igbo people don't think, they don't strategize intelligently, they just go for what they know and what their society told them and nurtured them to always pick as their main defaults, tribalism, bigotry, blackmail and other people are out to get us paranoia syndrome.

Sadly, you can not blackmail Tinubu because he did more for igbo people than your own igbo leaders.

It's even sad that this anambra son person is peddling this disgusting, crass and odious nonsense in 2022.

What is even problematic is the fact that these guys have a complex and believe that special status should be reserved for them in a place that is not their land. The fact that Yorubas can't lay claim to their land, push policies that will protect themselves or put Yoruba first.


I'm only disappointed in my fellow Yorubas that can't see the handwriting on the wall. The fact that the hate for Tinubu is not borne out of any genuine consign for good governance or the progress of Nigeria but because they hate our gut and the audacity to lay claim to Lagos and every inch of Yorubaland that belongs to us.

They will also hate an Osinbajo, a Fashola, an Akeredolu, and every Yorubas with any chance to get the top job in the land.

jneutron4000:
I tire o, Youth secretary Igbo, for Yoruba land, Akeredolu wife done plant Igbo put for Ondo state finish, the next governor to come needs to take note, a lot of flushing out needs to be done. Akeredolu is reasoning with his manhood.

Arimogija is a farming community where a lot of none Yorubas like Ebira, Benue and Igbos come to farm. It's not really a traditional town/village per say. That explains the presence of Igbos and other ethnic groups in that area

thebosstrevor1:


Nsibidi isnt a writing language but a pictogram or syllabograms.

If Nsibidi was actually a writing language then it would have been developed, look at the English language, the old king james version english developed to the present English language.

Why are the igbos not writing in Nsibidi?

You claim the igbos were not walking about naked but in skimpy clothes but there are lot of pictorial evidence that showed otherwise they were barely covered.

An hunter gathering society is the first stage of civilization, so how can they be more intelligent than an agricultural or pastoral tribes.

Unfortunately, many African tribes haven't passed the hunter gathering, agricultural and pastoral stages of civilization.

Btw, most pastoral tribes are known as the warrior tribes and elite tribes, small in number but love to be the ruling class, this trace have been found in the tutsi tribe, maasai ,fulani etc.

Don't stylishly smuggle Fulani supremacists agenda into the conversation.
The Fulani were the weeping boys under Songhai and Mali empire, they were marginalized, tossed around and ridiculed by the more powerful Bambaras and other Malian ethnic groups that were in charge.

The Fulani control only started when they were taught the art of nation building by the Songhai, only in the 18th century. And even with that, they were mostly a savage tribe.

That doesn't excuse the propaganda being pushed by the Igbos.

yunqdady:

You failed with your psycho analysis, I have no inferiority complex.
And to your second paragraph, they don't know. They don't know anything.
They are culturally and historically dumb.

Bro, ignorant people are many in the west and all over Nigeria.

I don't know how old you are but things like that will not really troubled me.
I just showed this our conversation to a friend from Kaba and he just laughed over it.

Yorubaland is up to oworro land in Lokaja and Jebba in kwara. These are Yoruba and will always be Yorubaland no matter what some ignorant Yorubas think

Sammy07:


The guy just dey yarn rubbish.
He faced discrimination up to Ijebu people?

They'll say Ijebu are stingy, their wives no dey last in marriage abi na their husband self. Etc

Many years ago, we and ijebu people no dey marry. We believed there can't be two captains in a ship cos we both have Stubbornness.

He never face discrimination up to Ondo/Ijebu people

Most times I speak English, if I speak Yoruba my dialect go show, they'll ask where I am.from, I'll tell them Ondo.
Next thing is, Ah Ondo Aje Aja bla bla. Their girls dey "Do ofo"

Etc, with that I go turn am to laugh that no be some people dey eat snake and Lizard ni etc

He now dey yarn nonsense.
Mtcheeeew

The guy has serious inferiority complex. He doesn't speak for majority of Kogi west people who Yorubas.

I was born in the north and being from Ondo state (though mother from Ilorin) but since I stay and more used to my Ikare side, I tends to speak Ikare dialect more.

You may not know though if I switched to the general Yoruba because I grew up among people from Oyo and Osun state but these groups still find a way to ridicule my Ikare dialect when Is speak it to family men.
I'm not really ashamed to speak the Ikare dialect and I make it a point to explain to them that Ondo,Ekiti,Ijebu and Okun dialects are closer to proto Yoruba language than Oyo dialect that has shown my innovation due to their closeness with Nupes, Borugu etc.

yunqdady:

They might have a Yoruba root, and Facebook isn't what you should used in judging.
Nothing Yorubaish about their language called Oko. Even Some Ebira bear Yoruba names, does that make them Yoruba?
Only Okun should be called Yoruba but as an Okun boy who has lived in South West before, I chose not to be called Yoruba cos of the tribalistic nature of Yoruba people. They don't know the difference between Ebira and Okun. To them, anybody from Kogi is Ebira and they say that in a condescending manner like you are inferior.
How is Ebira and Okun the same? No similarity. Yet those uninformed tribalistic bigots would open their dirty mouths to talk down on you like they are better. No matter how horrible or poor they are, they automatically have this energy to feel superior to you. Nonsense.

So why should I associate myself with such stupid people?
I like how Kabba people don't like being called Yoruba. It's Yagba people that you would see claiming Yoruba.
I only fill Yoruba on paper or when I want to avoid explaining.

I think you have a serious inferiority complex.
How would anyone make me feel less 0f my self or disassociate myself from my ethnicity?

I'm of Ikare and Ilorin origin, I speak Ikare dialect and I have had uneducated Yorubas from Oyo and other places try to ridicule me when I speak in Ikare dialect, I don't get offended I only lecture them that Ikare dialect is closer to proto Yoruba than even the Oyo dialect.

Being from Akoko makes it easier to understand Kaba-Okun dialects because we are both eastern Yoruba speakers. In Ondo, Ekiti, Kwara and Osun state no one will mistaken Okun people has Egbira or Igala. They know and acknowledge that they are Yorubas.

centurionpapa:

Sadiq Daba isn't Yoruba same for Ibrahim chatta

Ibrahim Chatta is a Yorubanized Nupe with a Yoruba mother. He is from Kwara state and we consider him one of us.

Lindodo20:


You need a majority in two-thirds of the entire nation, it's not about Yoruba alone you dummy

Because religion is just a pretence for you not to vote a Yorubas. We know this amd we'll respond appropriately.

The Igbos will not vote irrespective of the religion of the Yorubas on the ballot, we know this and we'll present our best bet regardless of what people like you think

Lindodo20:


Reason why Tinubu's ambition remains dead in the water... a double-muslim ticket would rip Nigeria apart at the seams. And the Hausa-Fula he loves so much don't even see him as a true muslim since he's from the south lol

Sorry to disappoint you, Yorubas will never consider religion in the choice of their leaders. We'll vote any Omoluabi irrespective of his/her religion.

I know the plan of our disastractor is to divide us religions line so that we can be vulnerable against the vulture. No matter how tye enemy scheme against us, we'll always remain united. We're Yoruba first and be it Fashola, Tinubu, Osinbanjo or Fayemi a Yoruba will be supported on that ballot

Iliya1520:


And if u removed northwest and northeast from Nigeria, the higher demans of good and services that made the Lagos port to be functional than Benin port will also be removed, and will then be functional as Benin port.

The largest consumer market is in the south west followed by the south south.

I don't know who is deceiving fellows like you. You should be thanking your start that the west and the south south is out there to subsidize you, Niger would have been London compared to the north west and north east.

caracas:

On the contrary the Igbos are responsible for the high vat in Lagos n Oyo
go check how Much the Igbo markets generates for the Lagos government n you will be shocked

You are a lier. Igbos engage in unorganized informal sector of the economy that can't be tax or properly taxed.

They end up messing your state up without paying a dime in tax.

The best and honesty answer is NO. Dangote is just a business man. But the refinery will boost production and add to the reputation of the country.

You don't really get it, don't you?

We produce so little and we consume too much. We're the typical being that live above their means. More like living a fake life.

For example, our second largest import by value is refined oil. Infact, we spend about 20% of our total import earnings on refined petroleum. So, if we can produce enough for local consumption, we'll be able to save 20% of our current forex and spend that elsewhere, preferably on importation of machineries.

We also need to reduce our obsession with foreign goods and spend our money on improving small scale industries, mechanized agriculture, agro precessing and small scale minings.

Agbegbaorogboye:


It is funny that a rice producer does not support ban on open grazing

There is a problem with the mindset of the average core northerners. They are wired to fight the Fulani war irrespective if the policies is favourable to them.

To him, Fulani should be allowed to continue their barbarism simply because they are Fulani.

NaijirianKing:
What type of tribalistic display is this??

Fulani are indigenous to Kwara State, what is the big deal if Fulani are fast becoming the majority tribe?

These types of statements put a target on the backs of all Northerners and Fulanis in particular. Fulani, Nupe and some Yoruba speaking groups share this state, the real issue is that Fulani are one of the largest, if not largest tribe in Nigeria.

The problem is that we don't have a proper census and Fulani are nomadic, so if you are not careful you will come to the conclusion that Fulani are not much. But Fulani may even be the largest tribe in this nation as there are Fulani in the North and the south of this country.

Let's not make such tribal utterances, but instead let us learn to live in peace.

Fulani is an insignificant minority group in Kwara. I think what the governor is trying to say is that the barbaric nomadic Fulani are moving the the peace loving Omoluabi state of Kwara and that has increase the insecurity in the state.

Also, Yorubas are the overwhelming majority in the state and will continue to be. Fulani are a dangerous settler group that are not really welcomed in the state.

mrvitalis:

If the south can't come together and support Igbo presidency the north can keep it and the north is aware of this big time

We're not voting for Igbo presidency. The Yoruba see Igbos the same way we see Fulani/Hausa.

We'll present our candidates and win without the support of the hateful easterners.

The Hausa/Fulani north can gloat as much as they want but the next president is coming from the southern part of the country and Tinubu or Osinbajo is likely going to be your next president.

humility33:


Oga i made a mistake to discuss politics with you

You dont have respect for other regions or existence...even the hausas dont talk in such crude manner....

It's good you are put in your place.
The way you lot find it convenient in pulling statistics off your ass amuse me.

The Igbos are inconsequential minorities in Lagos that henceforth will not be allowed to beat their chest. They are envious, callous, resentful of others but turn around to want the goodwill of the Yorubas.

On what basis should the Yorubas continue to open their arms for the hateful immigrant from the east?

NaijirianKing:
Stop being disingenuous and condescending. You are trying to drive a wedge between Fulani and Yoruba, who have lived together in peace for generations.

Fulani reside in Yorubaland in the SW in peace and Yoruba reside in Fulani land in peace, specifically Kwara and many other places in the North.

What you are trying to do is divide tactics, but we can see through them. Enough is enough.

Kwara is not Fulani land try again.

All Fulani are immigrants in Yorubaland including the Yorubaland in Kwara such as Kwara south, Ilorin(Kwara Central). You own nothing and when the time is right, we'll show you the way to your fathers land in the northwest.

In inch of Yorubaland will be lost to bandits and criminal Fulani terrorists.

BSsniffer:
Awo The Great. Proud Awoist and unapologetically Awopilled.

Proud Awoist... We'll make his dream come through for the Yoruba race.

OfoIgbo:
And the funny thing is that about half of the Lagos IGR is being provided by SEners, and about 70% of Rivers state IGR is being provided by SEners also.

Proper economic planning and the installation of seaports at Oseakwa in Anambra and Obuaku in Abia, will quadruple the IGR of the SE states.

Adding Igbo areas in the SS stretching from Obigbo, to Opobo and Ubani, to Ogwashiuku to the SE will further help the Igbo economy.

Igbos will automatically be bestowed with the title of states with the largest IGRs

Igbos in the 4x5 shops in alaba and with their galla business are contributing 99% single handedly to the IGR of Lagos, Rivers, Ogun, Kano, Oyo and Kaduna but these hardworking developer forget to developed and contribute positively the IGR of Imo state that share a border with Rivers.

Emir01:


Your statement is political and devoid of truth. Most of you just comment. Have u been to Kano or Kaduna b4? Can u compare number of companies there with aforementioned states?

Don't mind him, the north is in a better position than the potopoto republic, our problem with many of you is that you allow the little advantage the centralized Nigeria to get the better of you.

You allow you hubris and greed to make the accommodating Yoruba to start question your motives the moment your leaders support and continue to protect Fulani terrorists wrecking havoc in our land.

FlipModeSquade:
So, Ekiti with the worst IGR among the southern states would not oppose the new VAT ruling?

Only those in the East?

We'll take care of our brothers in Ekiti, worry about your biafla republic. In fact, the omoluabis in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo will willingly share with our not so able brothers in Ekiti and Osun state.

We'll stretch it and agitate for a restructured Nigeria along ethnic lines where we only share with only Yorubas in the west, Kwara and Kogi west only. The rest of you parasitic being can go to hell.

YorubarLord:
They are nasty parasites with loud mouth

Body don dey tell them, indi developer.

The way they throw number around is just mind blowing. They are as parasitic as their partner in crime from the sahellian republic.

Ovamboland:


Why are you particular about 13 core north states? What is Taraba, Benue, Kogi contribution to VAT? What of Ekiti, Imo, Osun, Enugu, Cross river, what do they add to VAT?

Yorubas in Lagos will gladly share their VAt with Yorubas in Osun, Ekiti and Kogi west. For the rest of the parasitic state you mentioned above, we don't care.

You can see Obasa talking about other southwestern states. We're Yorubas we care about our brothers who not as fortunate as us.

SarkinYarki:
Lagos might be the highest govt collector visible point but seventy percent of VAT is not borne 70 percent by Lagos state please. except we are saying Lagos state consumes 70 of services and goods consumed in Nigeria ..

We must be careful about the wishy washy analysis of tax collection before we started robbing peter to pay Lagos

All available data shows that Lagos contribute close to 70% to the centrally collected Vat. Lagos needs this money to build infrastructure that is been stretched by all these economic activities and should not be sharing it with the 13 States in the core north.
