sexkillzisacunt: Lol, the smelly Yorubas who have turned some parts of the UK to a third world country will be really in for it!

The consistent assault of yorubas in the UK on their welfare system and immigration is part of why the UK is experiencing xenophobia and the rise of racist groups like the BNP and EDL. Now the ones in the UK are finding it hot there and are supporting racism in lagos so they can run back and not have to compete with other ethnicities. Check the yorubas who push the racist agenda and you'll see most of them live abroad. In fact most of AC.N guys swarming around fashola and proferring policies like deportation are returnees.

Fashola is puzzy. Unlike the decency and cooperation exhibited between governors in returning REAL destitutes to their states, he snatches ppl off the street, puts them in camps and dumps them under the cover of darkness at a bridge at 3am like a criminal.

He wasnt even man enough to talk about it without blackmail and bitching over obi

shymexx: Bwahahahahaha

And you honestly think I give two-phucks about BNP and EDL?

Mate, I've already re-aligned with my identity and I should be out of the UK in the next few years. Too much money to be made out there than crying and fighting indigenous people about a land that belongs to their ancestors. That's deep thinking...forever grateful to the UK for making me what I'm today. Everything in my life started out here but I share the sentiments of BNP. The only thing I don't agree with is the racism and how they denigrate black people - that's a NO NO.

Also, everyone that I know share the same sentiments and tons of people are already moving out and working in other countries as expats. The joke is on you, mate!

Yoruba till the death of me!!

Nah! The joke is on a person who has never been to nigeria in his life but builds an identity on the bile of anonymous bigots.

You can log on and curse ppl who share the same country with your tribe but you don't like how blacks are denigrated. Interesting.

First real lesson u will learn if you really move over here is that nobody is fighting over other peoples land, those who can afford it buy and lounge in their cribs. Wherever the land is in nigeria.

The BNP is coming...to Peckham and the bigots with double standards will understand what it means to REALLY be on foreign soil.

shymexx: 22 pages?!?!?!

The birth of Yoruba black panther, Yoruba nationalism and Nation of Yoruba!!

You just can't let primitive and non-achieving people spit in your faces on home-soil - they must respect you, your culture and tradition. There's no two way about that.

Stay riding out on them - there are too many bravehearts out here who would come defend the Yoruba homeland.

Hale Fashola - you don't owe anyone an explanation, just keep reuniting them with their families and make the crying, whining and tantrums throwing mofos suicidal!!

Wait until the BNP takes over at the next election, revokes citizenship of non-indigenes and seizes all properties before deporting you all spewing garbage. I can imagine how clean peckham would look if y'all left

Q

XOCONOCHCO: Fashola just became bad market to himself, he was on his way to being a National Icon with his work (eko atlantic, lekki seaport etc) but with this own goal 'Local Champion' will be his middle name .

The man has just branded himself a racist and it will stay with him forever unless he rights this wrong. APC supporters on NL always describe GEJ as a divisive president. I can say it loud and clear that Fashola has become the most divisive figure in Nigeria. Only God will heal this rift that he has created between his kinsmen and igbo ppl

One_Naira: This is his reply? In what way did it answer obi's accusation.

Did you deport igbos? yes/no. we get rubbish and sidetrack as reply
Did you deport non anambra and dump them in onitsha? yes/no. we get rubbish and sidetrack as a reply
Did you deport non igbos and dumped them in onitsha? yes/no. once more the reply gave no answer
Did you detained those deportees and gave them inhumane treatment for weeks, some months, like they accused you? yes/no. once more the reply gave no answer but trying to sidetrack accusation.
If you called and informed me of this deportees before you deported, kindly tell me when? once more the reply gave no answer but rubbish.

All this questions can be deducted from obi's speech and letter. you would think fashola would make an attempt to try to answer them. No, instead he spoke rubbish and tried to shift blame. Wow. The fact he tried to dodge each accusation and didn't even try to free himself of it or at least give the readers the benefit of a doubt, shows every accusation made on him by obi and the deportees are a fact. Wow. This is the man they keep yelling at us we should vote for as president. This is the man whose own party and his tribalistic people call GEJ a "retardee".
Tufiakwa. Okorocha, Igbokwe, Amaechi, Ngige, sadly Utomi may thunder fire una wherever una dey. May thunder and the holyghost fire snag una. This is the man you joined hands with. Tell us how it feels selling your souls to the devil. Wicked souls, excluding utomi (i know he's just confused right now).

I tell you when I heard that fashola replied obi I was expecting a robust intelligent answer from an SAN. What I heard is not far from what I hear some dummies on NL say.

The governor of a state that operates under a very shadowy and cult like system of followership who I can bet sanctioned the deportation did not call obi to tell him what he was about to do but complains like a kid when obi takes the matter to GEJ without telling him first. The last time fashola's "greenshirts" did it Obi called him bt what happened? We can all see.

Fashola has exposed his motived for deporting ppl like the fascist he is. The motive is linked to 2015 and ppl think the primary motive is bigotry. He accused obi of "inciting igbo ppl" and "politicising" it. Any right thinking person would criticise it and take it to the highest level but fashola describes it as "politics". The plan is to reduce the number of igbos in lagos before 2015. We have seen how Yerima is hustling to shore up votes by making under aged foreign 3rd and 4th wives married to nigerians under islamic law be eligible to vote.

Fashola will be hero to the bigots among his kinsmen but will bw remembered by the rest of the world as a man with fascist tendencies

If there are really camps where ppl are snatched off the streets and kept for months like nazis used to do then something serious needs to be done about it.

Fashola is following orders based on an apc calculation towards 2015. The man is a boy-boy. He was installed like a puppet as governor and has to do what he's told.

”Yoruba Ronu” – The hypocrisy of a two-faced opposition?

There's no justice in this world anymore. Sometimes, I ask myself, what am I living for? If wrong can triumph over right, if we are licked before a fight, there's no justice in this world anymore. To those timeless and immortal words of the recently deceased country singer, George Jones, the pertinent question is: Can wrong really ever triumph over right?

I ask this as I read this 'APC Fan Club' update with its usual plethora of accompanying ethnically motivated anti-Jonathan comments and expletives (Almost all the negative comments, insults and rage here without exception are from one ethnic group) and continue to mull over political events in Nigeria in the past two years or so.

I refer here to the tyranny of deceit, of hate, of ignorance and, more importantly, of forgetfulness that has suddenly gripped enlightened sections of Nigeria's populace. Unlike a great many of my compatriots today, I have a great deal of respect for history, facts and logic. This is aided by the fact that good memory has always been my special forte. Yes, I easily recall events with uncanny clarity. What appears to be my current sympathy for President Jonathan, but which in reality is nothing but faithfulness to noble principles, is a very recent phenomenon indeed. It is the result SOLELY of the unconscionable childishness and irresponsible excesses of the opposition.

To be sure, I did not participate at all in the 2011 voting exercise which produced President Jonathan. I neither registered nor voted in that election on account of my disenchantment with the way in which former President Obasanjo brazenly rigged and imposed Umar Yar'Adua and Segun Oni in the 2007 elections in which I voted for the ACN's Atiku Abubakar for President and Kayode Fayemi for Ekiti Governor. Secondly, I abstained from the 2011 election because Atiku, having lost the PDP primaries to Goodluck Jonathan, was not on the ballot. But cutting through all that disenchantment and personal boycott, it was easy to see from the election demographics -- when the dust of post election violence in some parts of the North had settled -- that President Jonathan's 'pan Nigerian' mandate, which I would have preferred for Atiku, was made possible by a broad coalition of 4 geopolitical zones, namely, North Central(Middle Belt), South West, South East and South South.

The remaining two zones, North West and most parts of the North East, were understandably anti-Jonathan from the outset of that election on account of Muhammadu Buhari and have remained largely so ever since, though with tragic consequences for Nigeria's unity. The depth and persistence of their opposition to, and hatred for, anything Jonathan, though understandable, must nevertheless be recorded for posterity so that in the near future, we will all be able to effectively engage those who are forgetful, in historically anchored political discourse. Thus, the 'Boko Haram' North's antipathy towards Jonathan can be ignored. But what is astonishing and completely incomprehensible to me and thus CANNOT be ignored is that, of the 4 members of President Jonathan's 2011 noble broad coalition, only the South West today APPEARS to be opting out for reasons which are not very clearly articulated, and this is rather intriguing for historical reasons.

As I have observed here countless times, the current state of Nigeria is not about fruitless political party dichotomies. No, it cannot and should not be about PDP or APC or Labour Party or Accord Party per se. It is about good and evil. It is about truth and falsehood. It is about memory and the convenient loss of it by those who wish to. As someone who received his university education in the 'Fountain of Knowledge' decades ago and still resides there, I have always admired the dogged principles that now and again undergird the politics of the South West, but now it is beginning to appear to me that the South West -- or a vocal and critical section of it represented by Bola Tinubu, the APC and their supporters -- is losing it.

I say this because there appears to me to be a grand conspiracy of amnesia -- that memory disease that often afflicts the guilty and the hypocritical -- currently sweeping through the South West, especially among the supporters of the APC. Let us once again take a brief excursion into history because I am in love with history. My brief history lesson today, for those amnesiacs who have been posturing on social media threads in the past two years about President Jonathan's so called 'cluelessness', is entitled: 'Yoruba Ronu'. In 2002, precisely 3 years after Nigeria's return to civil rule, Olusegun Obasanjo of the PDP was Nigeria's President.

In the six South West states of Lagos (Bola Tinubu), Ogun (Segun Osoba), Oyo (Lam Adesina), Osun (Bisi Akande), Ondo (Ade Adefarati) and Ekiti(Niyi Adebayo), there were ALL Alliance for Democracy (AD) Governments. Sometime in 2002 a certain All Peoples Party(APP) [later (ANPP)] Senator called Arthur Nzeribe from Imo State (a very controversial man associated mostly with fraudulent, irresponsible and unprincipled causes) tabled on the floor of the Senate what he referred to as 19 reasons why President Obasanjo should be impeached. Obasanjo's impeachable offences, according to Nzeribe, included lack of implementation of budgets, general incompetence, illegal retirements in the Military, hatred for the North etc etc.

The last allegation created the most controversy for obvious reasons. Predictably, Nzeribe's action generated a great deal of controversy and anxiety particularly because at this time Obasanjo had lost all the goodwill he had garnered in the 1999 election as a result of what some saw as his incompetence. In the North where I was living then, most northern Muslims, who were already disenchanted with Obasanjo, endorsed Nzeribe's action, but in the entire South West, Nzeribe's action elicited ferocious anger and condemnation. No one was ready, rightly so, to even consider the merits or otherwise of Nzeribe's allegations against Obasanjo. Instead, it was condemnation and threats galore for Senator Arthur Nzeribe of the ANPP from all the AD Governors and their supporters over a matter involving President Obasanjo of the PDP.

Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State, who is now hobnobbing with the arch-enemy of the South West, Muhammadu Buhari, went so far as to declare Nzeribe persona non grata in Lagos State and the entire South West, and warned him not step into the South West of Nigeria. Even social activists like Wole Soyinka and Femi Falana joined in condemning Nzeribe. Again, when former Speaker, Ghali Na'abba, constituted himself into a nuisance by opposing every single action of Obasanjo's, what happened to him? Obasanjo engineered his defeat at the hands of a political neophyte in the ANPP at the 2003 elections. This was after several failed attempts by Obasanjo to remove him through bribing the lawmakers with huge sums of money some of which were displayed on the floor of the House on several occasions.

The defeat of Na'abba, if you recall, was roundly applauded by all, particularly the South West electorate. Why was it so? What happened to the Senate Presidents like Chuba Okadigbo and Ken Nnamani who opposed Obasanjo's policies? They were all constantly harassed and removed by Obasanjo, thus creating instability in the Senate. Okadigbo's quarrel with Obasanjo, for instance, you may recall, started with the latter's unilateral declaration of 29 May as Democracy Day without recourse to the National Assembly. Okadigbo opposed this and this infuriated Obasanjo. Did anyone in the South West applaud these men for opposing Obasanjo the way the ACN/APC are applauding Amaechi's, Tambuwal's and some Northern Governors' opposition to Jonathan now? In spite of all the threats and opposition to Obasanjo from the likes of Nzeribe, Na'Abba, Okadigbo and the Sharia Governors of the North, Obasanjo won his second term in 2003 with ease with the entire South West voting massively for him.

Now, as for the specific lies and insults against President Jonathan which emanate from the South West APC, this Timeline is certainly not enough to contain them, but I advise all amnesiacs to go back to posts and statements by people like Soji Akodu, Soni Akoji, Lai Moh'd, Wole Soyinka, Ekundayo Awe etc, to see the depth of inexplicable hatred for President Jonathan by the same APC cohorts who wanted to die for the Obasanjo of the PDP in 2003, and file them for historical reference.

The question was and still is: Why would the South West, who had totally and completely rejected Obasanjo of the PDP in 1999 for Olu Falae of the AD/APP, now turn around to threaten fire and brimstone against Nzeribe of ANPP over a man they had rejected? Your guess is as good as anyone else's.

If it was bad for Na'abba, Yerima, Shekarau, Okadigbo and Nnamani to oppose Obasanjo between 1999 and 2003, why should it be good for Amaechi and Tambuwal to oppose Jonathan now? These questions are germane today because a great many people in the South West at present are doing WORSE to President Jonathan than they accused and threatened Nzeribe about in 2002, and it is absolutely sickening to all men and women of good conscience. Today, many people in Yorubaland are hurling insults at Jonathan and his wife, criticising them blindly and falsely, magnifying theirs faults if any, even calling for a coup d'etat against Jonathan's government and generally attempting to create a non existent atmosphere of rancour in order to encourage the Military to intervene, all for no clear reasons.

I recall the role played by the defunct 'Sketch Newspaper' and the 'Tribune Newspaper' in encouraging Buhari's coup in 1984. By all means, criticise the President when the need arises but, for God's sake, let your criticism be objective, responsible and anchored on specific policy failings, not hate-induced insults such as he is constantly innundated with by APC supporters. Obasanjo ruled this country for 8 years and achieved nothing, but rather, he destroyed NEPA(PHCN), Nigeria Airways, NITEL, encouraged corruption, enriched himself, neglected the South West, murdered Bola Ige and Harry Marshall and wasted Nigeria's money on Third Term, yet no one called for his overthrow. He served out his 8 years. What are the specific details of President Jonathan's 'cluelessness' which have occasioned such cynical hatred for him among many people in the South West? I am really, really curious. President Jonathan, despite his initial serious mistakes like the petrol subsidy debacle, has achieved in only two years what Obasanjo could not achieve in 8 years.

The Lagos-Ibadan expressway, an important road that was abandoned by Obasanjo for eight years, is now receiving attention from a government headed by a non South Westerner. That fact alone -- apart from roads like Benin-Akure, Akure-Ado Ekiti and Ado Ekiti-Ilorin which have been transformed by Jonathan's government -- deserves the support and encouragement of all, not inelegant posturing, insults and 'etainu' which obviously proceed from nothing but tribal motives. The issue here is: WHY WOULD BOLA TINUBU AND THE ACN/APC DO TO PRESIDENT JONATHAN OF THE PDP TODAY WHAT THEY ALMOST KILLED NZERIBE OF THE ANPP FOR DOING TO OBASANJO OF THE PDP IN 2002?

At the beginning of this dispensation, the PDP and President Jonathan reserved the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the South West, but the ACN leaders in the House connived to elect an irresponsible supporter of Boko Haram from outside the South West in the name of Aminu Tambuwal thus engendering a feeling of marginalisation among the South West electorate. Talk about cutting one's nose to spite one's face. Now, rather than blame ACN/APC leaders for their marginalisation, some people in the South West continue to hurl insults at Jonathan for the mistakes of the APC.

A Yoruba proverb goes: 'Eni ti o su ni yio gbagbe, eni ti o ko koni gbagbe'. Another rendition says: 'Eni to yaigbe ni egbe ona ma gbagbe. Sugbon eni to ko ki ese bo ni ko ni gbagbe'.(Those who offend easily forget but their victims do not.) If, to Tinubu and the AD, it was wrong for Nzeribe or Na'abba or Okadigbo to criticise Olusegun Obasanjo of the PDP in 2002, why should it be okay for the same Tinubu and the ACN and their supporters today to continue to insult, lie against and criticise unfairly everything associated with President Jonathan of the PDP? Let the South West remember the golden rule and do unto others accordingly. Yoruba, ronu!

This is just my view.

Big_Lebowski: Fashola is a Fascist and a tribal monkey.

This is just a snippet of what that ungodly political entity called APC has to offer; Murder of non-muslims in the North and wantom discrimination in the southwest. The biggest f00l here is Rochas!

Fashola is the most shameless clown in public office I have seen in a long time. If you ask me, his racism aside I believe the joker is doing to campaign for more allocation for the centre in the name of special status of lagos state

ilugunboy: As usual,,you lot are born with lack of comprehension ....when I said crime rate will drastically reduce when you are all gone...does that mean crime was never in existence?

You need to slowly assimilate comment and stop exposing your ignorance on a public forum like this.

As usual you lot exhibit duplicity and are fluid in EVERYTHING even on an anonymous forum you can't help it. So now you are talking about crime "reducing drastically" see your first post -

ilugunboy: Would have preferred the serenity and the crime free of those places you mentioned without the crime you people brought along.

So from yapping about lagos becoming crime free you saw facts and couldn't stand your ground like a man instead you're flapping like live fish thrown into a puddle of poo. Face your history- Yoruba men like you pioneered robbery, forgery (oluwole) and gbomo gbomo (kidnapping) in lagos.

The biggest problem I have with this Goodluck man is that he honestly believes that there can be development alongside corruption. Its a terrible thing to do because you have legalised stealing. Development without corruption will give us results in record time instead of all these 2015-2017 project completion dates.

ilugunboy: Doing such comparison makes you sound dumb....the difference is clear to a day old. Murderous criminality is wired into your genes.

Stopping running after your shadow. Sebi u said igbos brought crime to lagos? Who were the first monster robbers who had to be shot at bar beach show. You know that if it had been igbos you guys would have packaged it for your propaganda archives to feed the masses

Fashola is about to make some people rich o. I laugh in section 35 !!!

ilugunboy: Truth is bitter...if for any reason, you people leave SW....the crime rate will drastically reduce to very bearable level.

Truth my ass. What truth? That ishola oyenusi and his gang that reigned in the late 1960s and 70s were from the east?

ilugunboy: Would have preferred the serenity and the crime free of those places you mentioned without the crime you people brought along.

You guys love to spin cheap, malicious, hand-me-down lies that can be punctured by simpletools like google. We know the people that pioneered gbomo gbomo (kidnapping) and armed robbery.

Nairaland funny die

The british will never again be comfortable employing africans in immigration. 44 people before he got caught

Peter Obi has just earned my respect. He's made a wise choice not roll in the mud with pigs.

One Nigeria is one Nigeria. Till otherwise we know what to do

Double post

@ Onlytruth - nwanne pardon the expression but if its brown, smells bad and floats its most likely poo. You check am, if he's so influential, powerful and rich how come we have never heard of him? His only recent source of livelihood as far as I know is as staff of chrome oil. Not technical partner, not co-owner but STAFF. Now he's running for governor looking to compete cash for cash with titans, that sounds like a sponsored candidate or a "godson" to me.

As for money, don't underrate Emeka Offor. Andy Ubah's wealth may be stupendous but its shadowy. The writer may have a reason for describing Walter Okeke as richer than Andy but we know the money he has must be what Offor make available to his war-chest.

Personally I am tired of the same godfathers imposing chaff on us. Ngige was a one in a million story. Enough of the ABC Orjiakor, Offor and Ubah ndi nwe obodo club nonsense. We have suffered enough in Anambra.

@ Onlytruth- Walter Okeke appears to be an Emeka Offor boy. His stint in oil and gas was with chrome oil. After backing Mbadinuju, Emeka Offor has no moral leg to support any gubernatorial candidate in my opinion

dayokanu: [size=13pt]I dey laff.

Until you start treating these people the same way South Africans, Kenyans, etc treat them they wont learn a lesson

Trying to be reasonable doesnt work with some people. There is a reason America didnt go into dialogue with Al qaeda.

What Akintola said in his 1964 broadcast about "I before Others" is now coming to the fore

I am listening to his speech now. In UI they employed 112 staffs and 108 were from Iboland, 3 from Yorubaland

Egbe Alakuko would be shouting One Nigeria, One country, One destiny.

Bring an Ibo man you see Ikeji-ani, Iketa-ani, Ikerin-ani till Ikeedoogun-ani

Anyone who understands deep Yoruba should go listen to Akintolas speech in 1964 and relate it to whats going on right now[/size]

South african treatment in where? Nigeria. In this our country?. I dey laff pass.

Why don't you come down from your base in london or wherever you are and lead the riots so you can get your balls blown off by a shotgun. You dey abroad dey post xenophobic hate speeches from 1900 by a dead bigot to incite ppl in this day and age. Shame on you

plaindealer: The main issue here is Yoruba over tolerance.

My guy where was the tolerance when unprovoked yoruba ppl called OPC in 1999 to murder hundreds of hardworking igbos, hausa-fulanis and ijaws among others in various markets and places of work because they felt they needed to drive "foreigners" out of markets and give an advantage to yorubas.

Since then non indigenes have altered their perceptions and are ready to fight back. Let's not talk too much online. People don't forget such things.

okunoba: If I have to be honest I do not give a damn about the Aburi conference, it means jack sht to me. Written documents have never meant anything in Black Africa and the Aburi agreement wouldn`t have been any different. I have no reason to hate Ojukwu or Igbo people. I am only here because of my interest in current affairs and History especially black African. I think I should have the same right as everyone on this thread to debate and make comments. We don`t have to agree, but we should be open to different opinions without us resulting to personal insults and ethnic bigotry.

Guy, you are empty

It is well with you sir. May God strengthen you at this challenging time. You will come out stronger in Jesus name.

mandarin: To be honest with you and all Nigerian, President Jonathan has lost the confidence of the two largest voting blocs in Nigeria: the core North and the South west and that amount to over 50% of Nigerian voters. That the President should mend fences is now belated and it has gone beyond the politicians, voters have seen it all and made up their minds if general opinions is anything to go by.

I can understand the north may feel presidency is their birthright and feel GEJ is on "their" seat but why should the SW have any grievance against him.
