Hello

This is yoruba land and not Fulani land.

We have our culture and traditions

Ilorin is also Yorubaland.

Stop fooling yourself, all the kings in Nigeria lose their power the moment the British colonialist step foot into Nigeria. What we have today are ceremonial kings without any power.

This janjanweeds are running around testing the water for their demi god. God forbid tinubu. Southwest would rather have pyo or adeshina serve than the frog eye chicago cocaine baron

Tinubu will be president and if you don't like it you can go and commit suicide.

He was called a bastard because if he had parents he should have known their values whether young or old,and also know how to respect elderly people that are old enough to be his parent.My opinion, the way he attacks pastors especially the elderly ones,I think daddy freezer,fridge I mean freeze is truly a bastard.

You are a retarded monkey and a raving lunatic. He never abuses any pastor but shows their hypocritical and criminality.

Daddy freeze is a Yoruba Nigeria, as Nigerian as anyone in the country called Nigeria. So your lunatic of a poster has no right to call him a bastard or a foreigner.

nairalandankrah:
Hausa's know that the Fulani's are the real enemy.. And no amount of diversionary tactics/antics by the APC will change that..

Junk journalism. Trying to pit the Igbo's against the Hausa's...
So they'll tell the Hausa's, let's unite against the Igbo's. See,they are killing the Hausas in the south...
Mad people everywhere!

Stop the delusion, Hausas sees Fulani has brothers and no amount of patronizing will change this.

The right to do is to condemn atrocities like this. The Ipob has no right to attack the Hausa community anywhere in the south no matter the problem they may have with the federal gov't

Dedetwo:


You so idiotic with ignorance. Aba had electricity before 1929.

Aba was a bigger British administration center. Compare Aba to Abeokuta instead of Ìkàré.

MosheDayan:
i get am nobe propertymy guy.all you have now are brown dirty rusted roofs and skull mining go and deposit the past in a bank. stop yapping nonsense bruh.........

I have been to most Eastern states and I will still tell you that Yorubas are miles ahead.

Akure beats all your state capital hands down.

Dedetwo:


I Awolowo came back to Nigeria in 1948 on a borrowed money for flight ticket. Awo was nobody until 1954 and spent only 3 to 4 years in the position he found himself in 1954. Based on the crap spewed by the ill-informed Yari.ba peeps, one is forced to think that Awo must be a magician.

Electricity came to Ìkàré in 1958 when Awolowo was the premier of western Nigeria. Go Choke on that.

Danwakae:



After Late Yar'Adua 4years, yet Baba Buhari still did 8years , all from just the NorthWest alone... and u think Northcentral and Northeast will vote a Southwesterner or Southsoutherner again after voting Baba OBJ for 8years , and GEJ for 4years ??... Apart from the southeast , who are not serious about it, no other zone from the south can complain about a NorthEast presidency .. I don't want to talk about party , becuase as long as Presidential election is concern in the north , parties has been cancelled since 2015....the signal is there in Sokoto , Bauchi, Kano... Those are state that have two strong parties( APC and PDP) but go check their presidential election results , even the senatorial ... And compare with the states elections... U don't want to learn .. pls get a shock absorber ahead of 2023, goodnight.

You are a Hausa - Fulani settler in Taraba state. The real indeginous Taraban will vote for any southerners before they vote for sahellian from the arid land of Muslim north.

I have friends from Taraba and I know most see themselves as Middle beltan( which makes sense when you look at the map). The people that matters in the north have already conseed that power will rotates to the south, no that they have any other option though because they know anything else may jeopardize the unity of the country.

Talking about how the people vote, what really matters is winning the primary of the party first, then have the war chest to convince the power broker in each states to support your candidates, then buy the religious leaders to your side and the press. You are good to go. The northern masses will always do as they are told.

Lastly, stop over rating the Hausa-Fulani north. The north don't vote one way rather the Hausa Fulani of northwest vote one way. Some Hausa settlers and Hausanized tribes in North East, Hausa-Fulani settlers in middle belt and Muslim in the northeast vote the same way while the other tribes in the north vote for their man.
Insecurity, clashes between Hausa-Fulani settlers and the indegenouse people of these areas as magnify the enimity and also shaped their voting. Buhari would never have won the election without the support from the south simply because Middle belt and northeastern Christians will never voted for him.

Bannylove13:


Yoruba man I thought you said he’s ex convict...

Propagating senseless propaganda

Yoruba propaganda is stale

We wait 2023 Apc..

You guys are political illitrates. Orji is not in any frame to win anything in Apc, as the party politics is consign he is a Mr nobody.

MosheDayan:
which one be egba women revolt? these Afonjas sef. their development ended when Awolowo built a t.v station for them. after that they haven't achieved anything with their education. useless Afonja

In the 50s towns like Ìkàré, OWÓ, Oshogbo, Ifè and others in the interland of Yorubaland had electricity and pipe born water all thanks to Awolowo when most of Igbos were living in the bushes and running around with monkeys.

TimeManager:

I'm sorry, you are incoherent while your source ain't detailed. They were soundly defeated at first instance without putting up a strong resistance. There wasn't any record of prolonged fighting against the British. They'd rather enter an agreement to preserve their Islamic culture.

kiss the truth!

The Fulani were never in any position to negetiate during this time simply because they were soundly defeated. The colonialist only allow the puppet kings to have some control due to how strategic those issues were to the Protectorate.

For example, the colonialist listen to the Emir in their plead not to allow missionaries into the Muslim north after they have seen what educated Southerners and most specifically Lagos educated elites were doing in the south.
At these time, the Emirs were sending their children down south to pegan north for these schools.

whirlwind7:


Did you read where it said the displaced residents are the original natives of the FCT? That place is their village. Abuja is their village!

Nigeria is built on so many layers of injustice, which you may not understand, until it happens to you.

All Abuja native have been rolocated to places like kubwa, Sabo wuse(Niger state) and other places in Niger and Nassarawa. These relocations were done in the 80s and they were duely compensated. All the people you crying foul are Hausa and other settlers that came to build makeshift settlement in areas embanked for roads, open space and other infrastructure.

Deepthoughts:
It's almost an impossibility for a northern Christian to become an elected president of this country,a northern Christian becoming the VP too is just part of the dangerous scheming by the conservative Muslim supremacists in the north to perpuate their grip on power,Dogara can choose to accept been use as a puppet for his personal gains but he will eventually be disgraced, equity demands that come 2023 power should shift to a Christian southerner whether in Apc or any other party,the Christians n Southerners should stand up n boldly demands for this,if not that the Christians insisted in Lagos Tinubu would never had made Ambode a governor, even with that how did it end, Tinubu can scheme from now to eternity, the idea of a southern Muslim succeeding Buhari is unacceptable.

We are Yoruba, we don't play religious politics. Ethnicity trump whatever monotheist religions you may follow. Furthermore, the Yoruba will vote for any of our sons that take up the challenge in 2023

Asgard13:


Ojukwu na freedom fighter and believe in fighting oppression and injustice

He led more than 3 million of us and would likely get more if demanded to fight the cause which the 3 million handed over to him
He fough gallantly and died a hero

Is Awolowo a Yoruba hero... an ambitious man with heart filled lies jealousy and envy..
He wanted to be Nigeria President... a post which zik has held
He failed and died a wretched ogboni man..

Died taking his own life ... sign of Yoruba bravery and went to rAt hell
Now poor Awolowo is in hell burning with his fellow rats..

After all gra gra on earth

what is there to be jealous about a wondering ethnic group?

The Yorubas are the top dog, we run shit and you all follow. when we look we complain about economic refuge from the 'muddy republic' we do it out of love for our land that you all has come to destroy.

Awolowo was an exemplary Omoluabi and no amount of character assassination will stop us from loving him. He was a Yoruba hero and he will always be a role model to me and millions of Yorubas.

Urchman200:
our major undoing is hating on each other from the south it is not going to help any of the southern regions politically the earlier we understand this the better for us all seriously.

There is no such thing as southern Nigeria. We the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria are not interested in any unity with the Igbos, they don't like us and they always wish for our downfall. Form now henceforth, we wouldn't pretend that we like them also, we will start treating them the way the core northerners they love so much treat them in Kano, Kaduna and other northern cities.

As for the north, only a naive individual ill believe the narrative that the north is such a homogenous utopia, where people have no mind of their own and vote one candidate.
Buhari was the concessors, core-northern candidates, three different times and he lost all of them. That is should be a pointer to how dynamic Nigeria politics is.

LegendHero:


Lol, he is Igbo and several Igbos online have also took it as a full-time job to always drag Tinubu name in almost everything.

Could this be a kind of syndrome? What is the link between the Igbos and Tinubu to warrant such amount of animosity and attention from you guys?

Personally, I know it’s not only about Tinubu but it is about Yoruba leaders as a whole. The Igbos see Pro-Yoruba leaders as an obstacle to them and I don’t know the reason why.

They also hated Awolowo even in death and Abiola was not spared either.

I’m very sure they hate Osinbajo too and the reason why the hate on Osinbajo is not yet pronounced was that the Yoruba caucus intentionally shifted the beam from him coz we are protecting him.

If Osinbajo had been put on the frontline like Tinubu was, they will shift from Tinubu and pour their hate on Osinbajo too. I only pity the Yorubas that are falling for the gimmicks of Godfatherism that these guys always say as their reason for hating on Tinubu.

Bro, you are on point. It is Yoruba they hate not Tinubu, hey just see Tinubu as the Yoruba with the best chance to be Nigeria president.

I don't know their obsession with Yoruba. I live in the north, where the Hausa-Fulani would not even blink an eye to chastised the Igbos while giving Yoruba indigenship and most time lucrative jobs in their civil services and institutions all thanks to cultural and religious similarity.

If I'm to choose between the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, I will choose the Hausa a million time over the Igbos. They hate us despite all the accommodation we have given to them. Time for political correctness is over, their war against Tinubu is a war against the Yoruba.

duncun:


You should be quoting the area guy that called your tribe backstabbers and deceitful.

And not trying to do a shadowy job

Why should be worried about the rant of a countless "small boy". The Arewa of a guy is a dummy that knows nothing about the event that will shape our political landscape towards 2023.

The idiot can call Yorubas any name he likes, we all know the poorest, the most barbaric and backward tribes in Nigeria. The Hausa-Fulani are a tribe of barbarian that should never be allowed to live with humans.

musa234:
You spited the Yorubas and in return spited the igbos. By the way who made an inconsequential being like you the mouth piece of the north. Jobless mofo!

Don't mind him. People like him wouldn't play any role in determining who becomes even his local gov't chairman not to talk of a President. He is not even big enough to be porn in the political game of chess being played by political heavyweight.

duncun:
The north don't trust yorubas .

The north see yorubas as backstabbers.

But emotional tinubu colonies are not seeing this insults, rather they are rejoicing that one man have promised to vote for a sw president.

Only jobless and clueless Ipob sees the north as the owner of Nigeria. There is no such thing as the north, there are thousands of ethnic groups in the north that will vote for whoever the rolling party present.

Stop listening to bear parlour analysis, you or the common man in the north wouldn't play a role in who becomes our next president.

LegendHero:
Back from ban finally. Oju ti mod wey ban me.

The Yorubas already did justice to this useless thread. It lacked content and the OP that created this thread do not seems to understand basic statistical analysis.

I will borrow the word of myobjective to finalize the thread.

—The minorities in the Western region only constitute 10% of the population, and yet they got 7/23 (around 30%) of the ministerial nomination.

—The minorities in the Eastern region constitute more than 35% of the population and had the highest landmass but got 9/26 (34%) of the ministerial position.

—Sane independent observers should be able to judge from this to know which region is truly greedy.

To proceed further, the Yoruba allowed the minorities to leave in good faith. Some people are shouting minorities hate Yorubas for leaving, no, every living thing love freedom. Freedom to control their future and stand alone and that is exactly what the minorities of the western region exercised and the Yorubas made them leave without trouble.

and pazienza you will just have high blood pressure on top Yoruba matter. Because all this cycle of creating thread that has no meaning is just time consuming especially when the thread is not passing any meaningful information and can be discarded by the superior Yoruba minds.

Even if you go on Twitter, you will still meet the same fate because the Yorubas have special analytical mind and they will always offer a superior logical argument. I am very sure a Yoruba BSc holder will easily win over an Igbo PhD holder in an argument because they (Igbo) argue based on emotions rather than subject facts to logic.

I saw one of your thread that you dared compare Awo educational achievement with that of Zik and I was just laughing. The budgetary spending of the Western Region is the highest in the the country between 1954-1963. Infact the Western region had the highest amount of both recurrent and capital expenditure spending in all of Nigeria according to the Annual Abstract of Statistics in 1963.

No matter the kind of statistics you try to pull from any source, no source will place the Eastern Region above the Western Region in terms of economy or wealth. The Western Region have always bested any other region and if you like you should open a trillion thread, you can’t fight against the truth.

Welcome, bro. The people from the other side love to hate Yoruba due to the fact that the economic lifeline of Nigeria is in Yorubaland. They have their eyes fixed on Lagos and it's environs reasons why they always antagonise the Yoruba with any opportunity they get. What most of them fail to realise is that Yoruba are resilient and born to always overcome all adversaries. We'll always come out on top.

It is evident that the aim of the thread was to dehumanize the legacy of Obafemi Awolowo. But they fail to realise that no one has a monopoly of information. We all can research and bring out facts to counter their propaganda.

All written evidence available shows that Awolowo was a just man, a man that works hard for the upliftment of all the people in the old western region. We'll continue to see him a model to follow no matter it makes the hateful IPOB feel.

Sunshineg5:
Were igbos marketing their own tribe yesterday when they started attacking Awolowo's legacy and old western region?

Don't mind him. You will never see him preach this when others are being attacked by Ibo tribalist but whenever the table is about to turn, then you see them rushing down to say nonsense.

Ekwutox:


Unfortunately for you I don't deal with emotions but with facts.

You claimed you were fair with the minorities yet you gave them 3 assistant ministerial (errand boy) positions and 3 ministerial positions.

So in total, if compared with the one of igbos, it was just three high positions Yorubas gave them while igbos gave them nine high positions.

The ones I marked blue are the ministerial positions while the ones I marked red are the errand boy positions.

You can correct me if am wrong.

I don't have the time to be going back and forth with you.

Ekwutox:


Now you guys have shifted to the population and how many got a ministerial position to defend yourselves.

But you failed to admit that the so called positions were for errand boys. (Assistant minister) lol.

Typical Yorubas, they like saying things half half.

The Igbo in their bid to throw others under the bus always open themselves to ridicule.

You can't accuse Yoruba of discrimination when all evidence points to the contrary and also point to the Igbos as the biggest culprit.

To begin with, those ethnic minorities in the west were not supposed to be grouped with the Yoruba in the first place. Even at that, the Yoruba still try to do justice to them based on all evidence available. And when they decide to vote out of the west, the Yoruba took it in good faith.

Let us now compare the action of the Yorubas to the ethnic minorities in the old eastern region, it was established those groups were heavily marginalized the hateful, arrogant and greedy Igbos.

successmatters:


Ibanga Udo Akpabio from Akwa Ibom state held two key senior positions.

Minister for education and minister for internal affairs!

Imoke from Ogoja in cross river is the senior minister of Labour, Finance.

The minority in the old western region only make 10% of the population, and they got 7/23 (around 30%) of the ministerial position. To me, that is fair enough.

Compared to the east, where the minority makes up more than 35% of the population but got 9/26 (34%) of the ministerial position. If we are to be sincere, the minority got a better deal in the southwest

Agboriotejoye:


I told you on the other thread that Abuja is to all intents and purposes not larger than Ibadan. And dis is from a layman who has been to both places and reached the extremes down to the centres. Forget your pins, anyone who has been to Ibadan and Abuja will know Ibadan is larger than Abuja. This one na eye problem not ear.

Your last paragraph, suleja is not developing towards Minna. It cannot self. Suleja is developing eastwards towards Abuja. Suleja to Minna is about 80 to 90km away and most is bush and forests. In between, there's nothing to show that they're developing towards each other. Same with karu, it's developing towards Abuja not towards keffi. Like I told you then and this gentleman has said same now, if you're talking about living in one town and working in the other, you have to add apomu, ikire, lalupon, Iwo, fiditi as part of Ibadan. That will make Ibadan larger than Lagos self I can assure you.
Ibadan is contiguous and not scattered and that's what you're using to claim Abuja is bigger than it is. Perish that thought bro.

Suleja to Minna is actually 99km, the same distance from Asaba to Enugu. Last two years I shuttle between Suleja to Minna every week for a program at FUT Minna. The journey normally takes 2hours due to the bad nature of the road.

Back to the main point of discussion. There is no way, Abuja urban (even when merged with the towns those in Nasarawa and Niger state) can be bigger than Ibadan. Talking has a person with more than ten years of commuting experience on that route.

scholes0:
How can Karu be up to 2 million people? lol
Ilorin is faar bigger than Karu. Heck, it isn't even nearly as large as the Osogbo urban area

Karu might be up to 2m people. The population of that area is very high. Diko-Maje-Suleja-Kaduna road- madalla-Zuba should also be 1m plus now.

GamalNasser:



My state doesn't have 20 million people's, my state is not the commercial capital of Nigeria, my state doesn't claim to be a Mega city ..You should be competing with Newyork that has 19 million people and generates over 200 billion dollars in IGR annually and a GDP of 1.75 trillion dollars . Go and compete with your mates and leave my state out of this

New York is in USA, world largest and most developed economy. If you want to compare Lagos progress, compared her to Cairo, Karachi and other cities in the developing world.

What Lagos has achieve from 1999 till date is borderline miraculous. You may hate Tinubu and his progressive team all you like, Lagos will continue to a no go area for you.

Nowenuse:


Wow, I love this.
You always make sensible comments ever since I knew you.

The sad truth is that we Africans are yet to evolve beyond ethnicity.
Europe was once where we were and they overcame this by many wars and conflicts which gave them the modern ethnic based countries they have today.

Not until we all Africans have ethnic based countries, we may never progress or leave the issues of Tribalism holding us back.

Our countries are a product of white men sitting on a table with a pencil. We need to have countries of our own which we choose.

Human world over works better and build a nation with people that share similarities with. Most western European nations are ethnically homogenous or closely related ethnic groups. Even at that, these countries still find a way to decentralized power among the tribal groups.

A country like Belgium has the landmass of a state like Kogi but with a population of just 11.8m people. It has two major ethnic groups in Fleming and Walloon. For centuries these groups have been fighting to have their separate independent countries.

The problem with Africa started when the European show-up, carved the continent into states for administrative convenience and to serve the raw materials need of the west. Consideration for ethnicity, the similarity in culture and political structures was never put into consideration.

If African states were allowed to grow organically, some bigger groups will absorb the smaller group to form near homogenous nation.

Philistine:

Kwara state Governor is a Yoruba? Are u drunk! Some of you just come online to spill rubbish. Make research and stop blabbing online.

You are a fool. Abdulrasak is a Yoruba and a Muslim married to a Christian Yoruba just like every liberal Yoruba Muslim like Fashola, Tinubu, Saraki (former Kwara state governor), Abdulfatahi( another former Kwara state governor).

Nwanyiogwashi:

The emir of Ilorin is a Yoruba man of Fulani descent. He doesn't have any power in modern Ilorin or Kwara politics. Have you heard of "Otoge movement"?

Nwanyiogwashi:
If you use this energy you use in claiming itsekiris to kwara state it wouldn't have gone to Fulani land

Kwara state is in the Hand of Yoruba. The governor is a Yoruba and so?
