Yes, love it! Just pray a member of your family is not treated with impunity and disregard to laid down rules

U don't have to be afraid if ur family member is not involved in corruption... My love for this govt keeps waxing stronger...

eyeview:
That you got some people incarcerated against court orders or directives is for you a sign of strength. How old are you

U sure don't know how the law operates. Law is beyond being emotional.

eyeview:
You are so innocently naive. Chai. Kids.
People in the know know that this govt has stolen more than gej but while that of gej saw more people plundering this nation,this govt has stolen more but by a coded few within a cabal.
So the free money is still higher and even on higher frequency now

Maybe it's true or not. U can't comfortably sit inside ur room and accuse ppl. Buhari has shown himself not to be a weakling.. ask dasuki and Kanu if u ain't sure..

eyeview:
Don't you get it? Are u naturally slow or just blinded by preconceived bigotry.
Let me put in simpler English for your comprehension. And this time, read slowly.
Igbos were not particularly favoured by gej in anyway.
Gej was objective means that he ran on equality and equity. The north wanted him out urgently because the 6 years saw things being shared equally with no lopsided advantage to them as they were used to.
But igbos went with gej over Buhari because it's better to have an objective and fair ruler who treats all equally than a tribal biggot as Nigerians have seen today.
I hope you have understood the earlier post now. If yiy haven't, just know that your empty headedness can not be helped at this forum

We know u all want weak leaders u will be able to control at will. U can cry me a river if u so wish. Never will Nigeria have such a weak leader as the inefficient buffoon again... #Saynotofreemoney

Good.. FFK should save his spit for nw and wait for his own ppl to be there to probe Buhari. For now pdp need to tell us what they did with the arms fund

eyeview:
I want Nigerians to know this. We did not support Jonathan because he did anything in or for Igbo's. Far from it,rather he was a disappointment. But we supported him because we compared him with what APC threw forward in the person of Buhari and knew that jonathan was more of a detribalised man and a domcrat and we thus backed GEJ.
Today, going by the brazen and clear nepotism in buhari,we have been proved right. That which we saw from a distance has become clear to the rest of Nigeria.
And one thing about igbos is that once they stand for you, they will stand all thru with you. They never backstab

Lol. So there is no nepotism in gej's govt because igbos benefitted? What abt other tribes that were not well represented in his govt. Dont they have d right to complain too jst like u are complaining nw. Hypocrisy of the highest degree dey worry all of una...

Boleyndynasty2:
Why can't they? Let them just impeach this man, keeps feeling like his the alfa and the omega

Tell the senator representing ur constituency to start the process na...

dis is it! nigeria is officially in authoritarian dictatorship. does d dullard know national assembly is not a appendage of d executive does he know dat national assembly is more powerful dan d executive does d dullard know dat national assambly has d power to sack him if dis con3 was a sane, d dullard would have been impeached sinced last year cos he has commited many impeachable offences.
why ar my concern sef. buari was never a democrat. surely a leopard never changes his spots. buari of 1984 is still d same full breed tyrant of 2016.

Lol.. Dey there dey foam for mouth. Maybe u should go join the Senate then make u follow sack am. Mumu...

engrchykae:
and all the progress we made in sixteen years pmb reversed in less than two years.
you can choose to be an insensitive zombie afterall we have freewil to do anything you like.

Mr man forget zombie or wailer. There is no progress of any kind. No dey deceive urself...

kcnwaigbo:
Realigned with which likeminds? Better count the SS/SE out of your misery!!!!You got served.Tinubu has indeed fought many battles but that was in the SW region. The SW alone cannot defeat the north in national politics.

Wetin u Sabi..

reemix123:
The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has informed multilateral donor institutions and investors that Nigeria is hungry for infrastructure that can trigger growth, not iPhones and pricey suits that will drive consumption.

Another dodo head that does not know what a donor institution or an investors is....can you imagine a so called financial person going on an international stage making such a useless statement like an area girl on the street. Which donor institution has ever come to Nigeria and said here we dash you iphones. Which investor has come to Nigeria and said here I will build you iphone factory ? She should go and read what an investor is...because an investor does not sell suits or iphones...Fools leading fools

Lol. Everyone acting like they have an idea..

naijaking1:
This is not the type of communist talk that begets Western loan and assistance.
She needs to consult Okonjo Iweala asap.

U ppl and this ur okonjo. I still find it difficult to phantom out that incredible thing she did during her time as fm..

engrchykae:
it's a pity that Mrs Kemi doesn't understand the northern president is pro West,keeping the country backward for every western economic interest is the destiny of the North.
I learnt today that Ghana through her state owned crude oil refining company named BOST is now exporting PMS to us while our three refineries at kaduna,Port Harcourt and warri cannot even deliver a daily PMS national consumption.
The reward of the North for keeping Nigeria backward is continued western support for political advantage,ask urselves why the same American wrote the biographies of armadu bello and Buhari.
it's either the south unite and take power away from the North or the entire south speak with one voice to disintegrate.

Abeg leave that thing. Wetin the South take better the north? No be southerner dey rule since 1999 excluding the little yaradua year and Buhari..

Redoil:
make we hear word. Package a dumb and deaf donkey from the north Yoruba people will still vote for him

Are u saying there was no northern candidate when GEJ was well voted for by yorubas in 2011? U this ppl no jst wan accept that gej has bin defeated and u ve to move on...

smogup:
Buhari is a failure

Mr man. Buhari dey give u nightmare?

Fayose is learning quickly from the dictator in Aso Rock who engineered Jibrin's suspension for blowing the whistle on his budget padding paddy, Speaker Dogara.
Any zombie who still believes that Buhari is fighting CORRUPTION is on to a loooonnnnnnnnggggggg thing.

It's like something is wrong with all this wailer. Jibrin's suspension was a collective decision of all the house of rep members when he didn't honour the invitation of the ethic committee. How that one take concern Bubu. If Bubu were to be like Fayose, the likes of Dino and every igbo lawmakers would have been suspended by nw...

NIGHTMARE007:
Can u hear urself?.
U have given it a name call it normal conflict in the interpretation of history... hahahah see hypocrisy.


Abeg joor! I hav this yoruba friend named kayode hez from ijebu
And when ever he wana make a reference to yoruba pple he'll use ijebu ...and ull hear him always using a line like "u kno ijebus are d real yoruba"... ill just say to myself so yorubas do this too but thell say igbos are not united.

Your friend saying that doesn't mean he cannot marry an ondo girl if he so wish. No one will start telling stories how Ijebu are the real Yoruba when that happens. Him saying that is jst normal individual ego we all have abt our origin. Jst like a Nigerian will say Nigeria is the giant of Africa.

Needless War In The House Of Oduduwa

[b]Are Binis of today’s Edo of the Yoruba stock and what is the status of the Ijebu people in the Yoruba cosmogony?

These two-in-one questions posed will continue to dog Yoruba history. Despite the works of great historians like Samuel Johnson, Ade Ajayi, Espie, Ayanleye and the rest, the questions remain open-ended.

The recent hot exchanges between the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona and the Alake of Egbalnd, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, were avoidable and expand the hiatus among the Yoruba people and their neighbours.

The ranking of five foremost Yoruba Obas by Alake was the agent provocateur this time. Picking holes in the ranking, the Awujale faulted the 1903 gazette cited by the Alake on the categorisation of Obas. Not being a son of Oduduwa, it would have been better to just steer clear of colonial creations, which were done by the rule of thumb during that period.

But, instead, Kabiyesi reached out to Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, a self-confessed Bini man for validation. Oba Akiolu supported the Awujale. Since the two are not of Yoruba ancestry, it remained to be seen how ego would not take the place of logic.

Binis never considered themselves as of Yoruba stock. The house of Oduduwa considers it fallacious. With the Benin Kingdom countering that no Yoruba Oba was higher than the Oba of Benin, the political history of Yoruba got more suffused in mysticism rather than empiricism.

The Ijebus too, claimed to be superior to other Yorubas because, according to them, it was the fifth Awujale (king of Ijebu-Ode) that cured Oduduwa (the progenitors of the Yoruba race) of blindness. For them, if the father of all Yorubas was a beneficiary of their fifth ruler, it then meant that they had existed before the foundation of the Yoruba race or at least, before they got to Nigeria.

The first Awujale was said to have come from a place called Waddai, somewhere in present day Sudan. The people are different from their immediate neighbours in Ijebuland. Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the late political sage and a Remo man, sealed this a long time ago. Historically, people from that axis of Ijebu are from Iremo quarters in Ile-Ife and migrated to where they settled now near the Ijebu people. Hence they are called Ijebu-Remo. Most Ijebu towns towards Ondo and in Lagos States also claim their ancestry to Ile-Ife.

The myths and conundrum of these assertions may take eternity to decipher and made a mince meat of the royal diplomacy of 41-year-old Ooni Ogunwusi couched in oneness of the Yorubarace. His several visitations to those considered rivals to his predecessor, Oba Okunade Sijuwade may be a pipedream with the current verbal warfare.

Ooni, the Arole Oodua had gone to Alaafin of Oyo and Awujale in search of unity. Only last weekend, he took a wife from Benin kingdom, to underscore his quest to end the war of attrition tearing apart the house of Oduduwa as we know it.

Perhaps our royal fathers should be reminded that democracy has demystified claims embedded in orality and whittled down the influence of royal fathers who today exist at the mercy of council chairmen and state governments who decide who and when to enthrone chief/Oba/Emir or depose. These discretions are embedded in law and not the native authority that have no force of enforcement under our present constitutional arrangements.

For most radically minded people, it was a needless argy-baggy for an endangered institution to fan the embers of disunity and expose itself to a predatory system that doesn’t discriminate between a slave and free-born.

Definitely, they have different motives. Some of them are doing it out of patriotism and love of their immediate source of origins; just wanting to project pride in their own roots. Some are doing this out of mischief.

It is clear the professorial chair endowed by Oba Adetona will see democracy as more relevant for scholarship than studies in traditional monarchy.[/b]

All these are jst normal conflict in the interpretation of history that does not affect the relationship among average Yoruba ppl...face the op..

apcisevil:
There is big discrimination among yorubas, I can still recall a story a yorubaman told me... that's even when I know yorubas have different dialects and different ethnics...stop lying and deceiving yourselves

How does Yorubas having different dialects amt to discrimination?

FKO81:
When you come down to the South West and the people from Ondo or Ekiti will tell you that they never want to have anything to do with the Ijebu man, Do you want me to explore the discrimination in southwest now you go run for this thread if I start oh

Is the op a Yoruba? prove the op wrong and don't drag the sw into it. There is no discrimination whatsoever among the Yorubas. many yorubas this days don't even marry from their native land..

Dutchboy:
Useless corrupt thief and the zombie Nigerian youths praise him. He looted money to establish Bells Secondary school,Bells University,Transcorp Shares and make Otta Farm the biggest in the country with the most advanced equipment that even Julius Berger will envy.
Which secondary school or university does Obama,Angela Merkel or David Cameron own after eight years in power?

U will only make sense if u are not one of e-warriors defending gej and his corrupt wife mama piss..

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Mtchewwwww.

Irrelevant post to Nigeria in recession

But if it is the inefficient buffoon, u will come and tell us how he is bin celebrated all over the world.. yeye hater..

anonimi:
If you are unable to express yourself correctly in English that you have chosen as your medium, you may as well go to where you can comment in Yoruba.
The political MERCENARY, JagaBandit sold himself to Jonathan and PDP in 2011 after throwing RibaduN of their Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN under the bus. Not so
Despite the JagbaJantis selling us out to Buhari in 2015, Jonathan still had a good score in the south west.
You should speak based on facts instead talking like you were also raised in Oshodi like your Asiwaju Asiwere and missed out on school like Buhari.
Meanwhile it is good to note that you acknowledge that the SS and SE resources were used to develop Lagos as the federal capital since 1914!

Why then do u ppl derive pleasure in blaming the SW and Tinubu for voting for buhari then when u know the inefficient buffoon had a good vote in the SW.

Useless staffs. No free money for dem again. Let them tell us if they don't receive their salaries at the end of the month...

TheGoodJoe:
During Goodluck Jonathan, every month when the governors went for the economic council meeting, the amount in the account kept dropping. If we asked about what happened to the money, the response we got was that the president approved for it to be spent.

[size=14pt]
Jonathan ordered me to withdraw $2bn from ECA to pay fuel subsidy – Okonjo-Iweala[/size]

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria’s former minister of finance said on Tuesday night that the $2 billion she was alleged to have withdrawn from Excess Crude Account without authorisation was used to pay for fuel subsidy on the instruction of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

She however said the issue was discussed at the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), a statutory body which is chaired by the Minister of State for Finance in which all the states are represented.

The former Minister however said FAAC did not approve the withdrawal.
It will be recalled that Nigerian state governors had after the inauguration of the National Economic Council about two weeks ago accused Okonjo-Iweala of spending $2 billion from the ECA, a pool of funds which belonged to the three tiers of government.

http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/07/08/jonathan-ordered-me-to-withdraw-2bn-from-eca-to-pay-fuel-subsidy-okonjo-iweala/

The question is was there no arrangement for subsidy in the budget? Why should money from the ECA be used to pay subsidy. There was surely oil benchmark for the budget..

NextGovernor:
Once the article is against GEJ you will resurface from nowhere. Ask Amaechi what he used the money he got for. Instead of developing Rivers with the money he gave all to Buhari campaign....

No I think we should ask what gej did with his own share cos that one concern the whole Nigeria. What Amaechi did with his own should be the concern of rivers state ppl...

Good for him... Congrats

ArabMopol:
because afonjas prefer to be Fulani/Hausa ass licker,abi afonjas are afraid of igbo recolonizing them afonjas are well knw as saboteurs, MKO will never forgive afonja elders for betraying him with Judas Iscariot kiss

Recolonize u say. Has there ever bin a time igbos colonize the Yorubas. igbos are d ones always blaming yorubas for their woes.. If u claim yorubas are hausa/fulani asslickers because they support Buhari govt then u must agree with me that hausa/fulani are asslickers of yorubas when Obasanjo ruled for 8yrs...

I understand what Fayose is trying to do with all this moves. Right from time he's a grassroot politician. Allegations brought against brought him on his toes...But he should pay workers salaries...

ArabMopol:
the afonjas will sabotage the move with fear of Igbo dominating them... Dead on arrival

As a matter of fact, aligning with the igbos is far worse because they are jst too sentimental and impatient..

neyobills:
For real....by your analogy the roads that Jonathan government invested in for example Lagos-Ibadan was not paid then RCC/JB jumped into the field with zero mobilization and funding....or perhaps if u can prove that it wasn't Jonathan regime that invested on that road,shortibajo said one of the shortcomings of the last admin was not building any"new roads"hasn't our honorable minister just shot himself in the foot by saying they would do nothing like their predecessor did despite their huge promises,or perhaps he has vindicated Jona that most of those roads has been abandoned by previous regimes before his including our excellency, s first regime,don't kill your conscience and your Brian defending the incompetence of people who don't give a hoot about u,or perhaps u forgot therecis something between us ears called a brain,use it.
