Exactly, I don't even have the time to cross-check my grammar before posting my comments.

KwuoteYourFada:
It's "have" not "has"

Maybe you should use that your time to improve your grammar

You're welcome

Maybe at the point of mak8ng that statement, that was the only watch he has.

At first i thought it was stress, but yesterday, i was home throughout and it happened again. This is like the 4th time this year. I'm really concerned and i do not mind any advice as to what could cure the problem. I called a friend of mine this morning to request to see a urologist, he said i might have to wait 2-3 months to see one.

I do not want to wait another 2 months, my marriage is just 2years and my wife is starting to worry too.

A 34 years old married man still betwets. I need help please.

I have seen a lot of funny comments o social media lately, especially with the millennials claiming that Dayo Israel invented Yoruba Ronu as a slang coined to incite hate against Igbos. I read the arguments by both sides and I could only imagine most these guys were born in the 90s and early 2000s. So where did Yoruba ronu originate from.

Please see link above and listen to the song. The song was originally performed at the height of the shenanigans' of the first republic. The Yoruba had an internal war between Awolowo and Akintola; and Awolowo was eventually jailed when Akintola aligned with Ahmadu Bello's group. Some of the lyrics paraphrased mean

What has happened to the Yoruba
A wise people who have seen wealth and civilization
The same wisdom is not working against them to take them backwards
Think Yoruba think
Yoruba undermine each other because of money and political positions
They subvert justice and declare the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent
The Yoruba have become a soccer ball that people kick however they like
Think Yoruba think

This song was produced in 1964 and has since been a rallying cry for the Yoruba especially when confronted with very tricky situations, such as the one between Awolowo and Akintola or when folks like MKO were undermining Awolowo in 1979. It even came up during the June 12 struggle and some Yoruba impostors were supporting Abacha.

So when I see people claim Dayo Israel started Yoruba Ronu as a rallying point against Igbo; I just laugh. Dayo Israel was born in 1987, 23 years after the song was originally performed. The song has nothing to do with Igbos; it is just a phrase that means - think, Yoruba think.

I would really love this to be on frontpage so that we can clear the air on that. This is what Nairaland should be about.

Yea. Pa Awo was not a selfish man, neither was any of his followers . I was opportune to see him on 2 occasions, growing uo. No wonder nobody has been able to break pa jakande's record in Africa today on housing. He was one of his followers. He built the largest housing estate in Africa in the 80s without borrowing kobo as governor of lagos state. All these happened in less than 4 years.

As if that wasn't enough, he replicated same as minister of works under the military. Have you heard of gwarinpa housing estate in Abuja before? It was him who did it. Till today, no country in Africa has achieved this. It remains the largest in Africa. Go to msryland in lagos and see pa jakande's house. You'd be shocked.

All the leaders we have today are only looking for means of stealing and taking our money overseas and enriching their corrupt friends. I think they're cursed. Our generation really needs to have a rethink, bring ourselves together and not allow them deceive us again, in order to have their way.

Eriokanmi:
Have you heard of Oluwa Glas before? That used to be the manufacturer of windscreen for automobile in Nigeria in the 70s and 80s. It was located in ondo state. No leader of nowadays can wear Awolowo's shoes. He did all these yet, no private jets, no helicopter was traced to him. He had no investments abroad, even though he could achieve all that with his influence and position. He was father of the masses. Apart form Odu'a investments, he brought into the countries several multinationals to boost our economy. Coca cola is virtually in every state of the nation today creating jobs. Odu'a also had a ceramic company, manufacturing food plates and tiles in those days. Those were the stuffs that made us giants of africa not the oil. We were importing so little and exporting so much. Our leaders, both past and present killed them all with their bad policies.

The military, majorly led by the north really did Nigeria shege. What the country is facing today is a consequence of bad rule in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000S, and the rage continues. That's why we are saying the likes of tinubu should vacate and allow those who don't belong to the the clique step in and people are citing tribalism, calling great thinkers all manner of names as if we all live in another countries apart from Nigeria. Before the election. I had said tinubu won't favour the masses with his policies and we're seeing it already. I hope those praising him, including yourself are enjoying already. There are more stringent policies to come. Governance is all about serving the masses, not making life difficult for them.

But some points here are not true. The 150 hummer buses mentioned here were all the China made Joylong and innoson hummer buses. They were given to many establishments on the last day of Peter Obi as governor. Establishments like The National Open University, Silver bird tv, radio Nigeria etc.


Secondly ANIDS transport is still up and running. Moreover, Peter obi didn't buy 406 while in office. He bought only Ford focus, Ford escape, Nissan sunny, the China humerus bus, Nissan urvan, and innoson buses. These were the type vehicles he used. 406 has been outdated during his tenure.

I'm not Peter Obi's fan but the little I know is what I have said

Electorate:
Your brain didn't factor that it is Tinubu that occupies Aso Rock now and not Peter Obi...Tinubu removed subsidy and only Tinubu supporters buy fuel for N25 per liter in all APC filling stations in Nigeria while the rest of us buy fuel at official rate.

Don't forget the yearly N1000 vehicle ownership levy doesn't apply to Tinubu supporters.

Don't forget only Tinubu supporter buy dollar at N120 per dollar while the rest of us buy at official rate of N680 per dollar.

Dont forget the recent electric tarrif increase is not for Tinubu suppporters, only we the non Tinubu supporters.

Have you seen any Tinubu supporter trek to work since last month?

Electorate:
We can all see how Tinubu turned Lagos to California or Dubai, Infact it was Tinubu that told our colonial masters to make Lagos Nigeria's capital city, he single handedly built the third mainland bridge and told all multinationals and banks to station their headquarters in Lagos.

He built Apapa port
He built National Theater and every public structure you now see in Lagos.

Lagos was just sand and stones and a deep forest when Tinubu became Governor in 1999, nothing existed before he became Governor. Clap for Tinubu.

Tinubu is now building a special filling station across Nigeria that will be selling fuel at N100 per liter to supporters like you and sell at N520 to other Nigerians like us that is not supporting him. Clap for yourself.

madridguy:
Are you people naturally born with acute inferiority complex or what? Because I don't know why you guys will always try to bring tribalism in every discussion.
Na wa oooo

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar

Disgusting simp

FreedomArmy:
the man and obi is really suffering. Imagine him and obi buying fuel at 600 while agbado miscreants are enjoying and buying fuel at 200.
