Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, the current governor of Osun State, says hi to you bigots.
One of governor Adeleke's wives is Igbo, Ngozi Adeleke. Adeleke's father was a senator married to an Igbo woman and that didn't stopped his people from electing him as a senator. That Igbo woman was Governor Adeleke's mother.
So also, Demond Elliott's mum is Igbo. Governor Akeredolu's wife of Ondo State is Igbo.
culf: I have been following discussions online and I'm wondering, with all these hateful words, anger, tribalism and so on... what then happen if court fault the election (or it's process) and either nullify or declare another person the winner...
We need to chill, we still have a long way to go, our leaders have achieved their aim and with what is going on I know they will only do worse, without accountability because we are not united and can't hold them accountable. Who then loses?
All this tribal war and sentiment is not needed. I once met an Igbo lady working in a Yoruba state owned establishment, employed by a Yoruba man and vice versa, now between that person and your tribal person, who should be your right hand person. All this tribal sentiment don't really makes sense, it should be who will do better, who will bring more benefit to us.
I feel pained seeing all that our youths are saying and problem they are causing for us. If this fire is not quench now, it may burn more deeply than we could ever think. Already, friendships, relationships and bonds are being broken...
Most Yoruba youths who voted against Tinubu and who want to vote SanwoOlu out, most of whose primary reason was because of the ENDSARS incident do not know that their "Messiah" sef get questions to answer as regards SARS activities while he was governor and he has never openly condemned them during the struggles that culminated into the ENDSARS incident.
A certain James Nwafor who was in charge of Akwuzu SARS in Anambra was declared wanted just after the end SARS wahala. He has been very much linked to Peter Obi, when the government set up an inquiry just like Lagos State did into his involvement, instead of Peter Obi to appear to defend himself he hurriedly got a court injunction to stop them from questioning him.
Our people have been brainwashed, the whole Obi movement is nothing but HOGWASH
Just listen to this video you will understand better, this was an interview aired on AIT even before Obi became the candidate of Labour party.
ChiefJusticeFuc: Let me use this autistic thread to post a topic I have been trying to create before it leaves my mind. NL servers are currently overwhelmed like Amaka's puna on a Friday night in a brothel.
Heebo reaction to Yoruba rejection vs Arewa quit notice to Igbos
This thing Yoruba people did to Heebo , which is simply : "don't meddle in our local politics", did not result in one hair being plucked from an Osu's flat head. But Osus are truly livid and upset to the point that they are now seriously (threatening as always) to leave the SW and Lagos in particular for their yeast.
Wow!
Yoruba rejection of heebo meddling really hurt the OSU.
But what of that of Arewa's ongoing court case seeking Heebo expulsion from Nigeria ? How did the osus react to this ?
Pin dropped silence .
Not one single counter . Not even a single sentence . All we got were dead silence.
This is the north that has shed heebo blood like fowl. This is the north that Igbos are adept in knowing when to do a temporary exodus only to return when things cool down.
The most shameless aspect was that the heebo community leadership in the north went on their knees begging to northern authority figures in Arewa to rescind and withdraw their quit notice order.
But Yoruba that has never done any targeted pogrom on the heebo or discriminated against them as they suffer in the fundamentalist moslem north are "the most evil racist tribe" for telling the heebo to take their votes to the yeast.
It seems the rejection by the Yoruba of the heebo really pain dem.
Could this be because they know deep down that they really fcked up with the only nationality that has been accommodating to them and that which was the only welcoming one to Igbos after the civil war ?
The heebo is now tearing his Nigerian passport over what transpired during the gubernatorial elections in Lagos.
They did not tear their passport when Obi lost.
No. They decided to tear their passport over the state elections in Lagos that had only Yoruba candidates on the ballot.
They made it clear that their renouncing of their Nigerian citizenship is over the outcome and conduct of the Lagos gubernatorial elections .
They did not tear their passport over the wanton killings by thugs in places like Anambra, IMO , Ebonyi , Enugu and Abia The thuggery in the yeast elections was of no concern to these diaspora osus rather it was that of Lagos , a Yoruba state and land.
Omo Yoruba , your rejection of the osu really pain am pass all the osus killed in northern Nigeria by abokis since 1945.
Nah your "OSU mind your business and stay off our internal politics " dey pain them.
What I do know now is that the average OSU is seriously in love with the Yoruba and his way of life and wishes deep down he was one.
Can you pls find in your heart to forgive the heebo and allow them a soft landing to cone back by simply telling them "ehn sorry. But you no say nah you start this thing, oya come back to Lagos ".
I first stumbled upon Nairaland in early 2007. I was impressed by the number of helpful threads ranging from career to health to business to family and education. Then, the politics section have not been reduced to conspicuous tribalism but there were some subtle jabs at one another tribe mostly targeted at the Yorubas and the Northerners - especially at the Hausa and Fulani because there is no tribe known as Northerners but it was obvious the two tribes from the north were targeted.
Tribalism gained much foothold after the 2011 elections towards the Yorubas while the owner of this forum looked the other way. Then after the 2015 elections, the tribalism volcanoes erupted. Those who have been at the receiving end of tribalists and tribalism before on this forum started returning the favour back to the senders who were its initiator originally.
They started matching those tribalists fire for fire, words for words, abuses for even more abuses. Those who started tribalism on this forum have successfully turned their once victims who were at the receiving ends of their vitriols before to tribalists.
Northerners don't know how to dominate before. But those people taught the Northerners how to dominate and become powermongers after the first military coup.
And now, Yorubas that don't know how to hate before. Those people have successfully taught the Yorubas how to hate.
No need to shalaye naa oga Seun. Medicine after death. Let me remind you that, there's nothing you can do to please people. Now you've opened yourself to more insults.
In all you do, please never be like Chinedu who was insulting his people and he is aligning with people who are against the interest of his own people.
And yes, it's true. Lagos can never be run from Anambra.
Charleys: An Igbo man can never marry a Yoruba woman.
I hope you know why, it's because they don't want their children to be ugly because your genes are inferior. The main reasons your elite marry Igbo women is because they need to clean up their genes and give birth to beautiful babies.
Teetee777: Lagosian rejected Gbadebo because his mother was Anambra state while Zamfara state voted for Dauda lawal Dare (pdp) and his mother was from southwest.
False. Lagosians rejected Chinedu because has used his left hand to describe his father's house and an IPOB apologist.
Don't you know that the mother of Governor Adeleke of Osun State was Igbo and one of his wives is also Igbo? The wife of Governor Akeredolu of Ondo State is Igbo. Former Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola's father is from Kogi State.
SkrewYou: [b]The Igbos are egalitarian in nature, live and let's live is a way of life.[/b] Imagine an omoluabi vying for an electoral position in Lagos attaching an Igbo name to his name as a nick, the Urchins & Jagabandit army will cancel him by leading a campaign of calumny, malicious gossip, character assassination, hate & threat to their own. The urchins & jagabandit armies did it to Agbaje who is a real omoluabi, they found a way to smuggle Igbo into his name just to demarket him. Just yesterday, they dealt with omoluabis just because "they look like Igbos", I don't just know why the name Igbo send high BP to them, they feel threatened & insecure whenever they hear Igbo, this is alarming. You can imagine the level of babarism by these urchins, they're still living in the period of antiquity.. sigh.
That's false. If the Igbos are egalitarian as you have put it, they won't have been practicing Osu caste system. So, egalitarian and Osu are two parallel lines.
Jashub: Sawan Olu will win Lagos ...not because he's popular but because of voter intimidation and yoruba stupidity
You dey amaze me with your false statement. Sanwo-Olu is popular and competent.
Remember, it's not only in SW that election took place. We have also seen videos and news of voter intimidation in the SE during the election yesterday.
In the presidential election, NC votes = LP, PDP and APC NE votes = PDP, NNPP and APC NW votes = PDP, NNPP and APC SW votes = LP, PDP and APC SS votes = LP, PDP and APC SE votes = LP, LP, LP and LP.
Olamilekan1555: You have a point but why did you have to use thugs to denied them their right to votes or you are telling me that the number of igbos in Lagos is more than Yorubas.. In presidential elections LP has five hundred and something votes are you saying that they are all Igbo's? Brother use your brain and stop tribal war if not then allow them to go and form their country. Just to let you know am a Yoruba guy so think before you write.
You need the advice more. Use your brain and think before you write next time.
otuomasirichi: That's their fucking business . Yoruba has proven to be the most undisputed Tribalistic tribe in Nigeria after the show of shame they displayed in Lagos today. What a tribe
When Chioma vote for Chinedu, to you it's because of seeking good governance. But when Babatunde vote for Babajide, to you it's being tribalistic. If hypocrisy were to be a human, it must have been from your tribe.
Ojukwu must be turning in his grave now that Peter Obi whom he helped has shattered his only remaining legacy. Obi swore to Ojukwu that he will never leave APGA.
Good one. Sanwo-Olu is coasting to victory by God's grace.
And it's my hope that all those Yoruba who were unknowingly deceived by Peter Obi into mixing religion with politics have learnt their lessons. It's dangerous.
As it is now, there's no Muslim governor in the South West, they are all Christians. Muslims in Lagos are not saying they will not vote Sanwo-Olu because he is a Christian. But because he has shown his competency, he deserves another term. If not, they would have been rooting for Jandor of the PDP because he is a Muslim not minding whether he is competent or not.
Colonel Banjo wasn't even among the January 1966 coup plotters, so I don't even know why he was arrested by Ironsi for speaking up against the arrest of a fellow soldier that wasn't part of the coup plotters. It was just an excuse by Ironsi to lock Banjo up because he escaped being killed during the coup. He was just lucky at first that he wasn't killed during the coup.
From the outset, Banjo was among those marked for elimination by the coup plotters because if not, why did Ironsi refused to release Banjo despite no report or account of him among the coup plotters. He was denied a trial and a fair hearing by Ironsi. And to make matters worse, Ironsi locked him up in the Eastern region when there were options to imprisoned him in Ibadan or Benin or Ore. So it's safe to say that Ironsi saw Banjo as a threat since he(Banjo) was an N16 officer commissioned in the NA. The saddest thing was that, the real coup plotters were just given a slap to the wrist by Ironsi.
This justified the reason why the coup is being called "the Igbo Coup" because the coup was just targeted at non-Igbos all in all.
Gowon also complicated matters by not ordering the release of Banjo after the July counter coup. I hope the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will rectify and correct all the injustice done to Colonel Victor Banjo and his family.
Biodun556: Victor Banjo and Awolowo meet in Ore during the Civil war when Pa Awolowo told him to stop fighting on the side of Biafra and Victor Banjo refuse that he has promised Ojukwo that he will win on sink with him.
Biafra soldiers were one side and Nigeria soldiers were at the other, Awolowo said Banjo tẹ́lẹ̀ mi, ìbọn òní ba hó (Meaning Banjo follow me bullet won't touch you) but Banjo refused,.
After that meeting Ojukwu accused him of speaking Yoruba during the the meeting with Awolowo that he can not be trusted again and they accused him of planning to overthrow Ojukwu in Biafra they tied him to a drum and shoot him in Enugu
He was the only Yoruba general that supported Biafra they paid him with Blood because he refused to attack Ibadan and lagos which is not part of the initial agreement
Below is the picture of Victor Banjo and his family the Yoruba Man that supported Biafra and lead many of the battle's for them , but was killed his wife turned to widow, his children fatherless.
......shocking to me because Ojukwu understands Yoruba Laguage very well!
Worst still, is the fact that Colonel Banjo's grave is nowhere to be found till today. Imagine being killed by someone you mutually called your friend. Ojukwu just wasted him for being Yoruba and N16.
