LegendHero:Those of them that sowed the wind are now reaping the whirlwind. Isn't it funny how those inciting the ongoing madness conveniently switch from calling those perpetrating the destruction 'angry protesters' and 'hoodlums'? When they burn Tinubu's alleged properties and police stations, they are 'angry protesters or youth', but when they start looting businesses they become 'hoodlums' and 'touts'. Las las everybody will receive sense. |
RedPanthar:RIP to the dead. But una no reach to gag me from speaking my mind, sorry. Buhari's hometown in Katsina is intact, while Buhari himself is in Aso Rock unscathed, yet some foolish Yorubas think they can somehow get his attention by killing themselves or burning down their cities and key infrastructure. Ogbeni, Ko le ever make sense to me. And I will continue to speak my mind. idgaf. |
Yoruba youths should not allow Lagos and by extension the SW to be turned into a theatre of war over a national problem. Why did the FG choose to carry out its massacre in Lagos and not Abuja?? Aren't violent protests also happening in Abuja? Aren't thugs also hijacking protest in Abuja? Yoruba people should please receive brain and not become pawns in a power game. FG could have used tear gas or rubber bullets to disperse the protesters. Very easily. But they chose to escalate the standoff by using live bullets. Why?? Anybody that wants to overthrow Buhari should head to Abuja and do whatever they have in mind to effect that. Buhari's seat of power is in Abuja not Lagos. But know this, Buhari can never be overthrown from Lagos so Yorubas should receive sense. Yoruba leaders should be strategic. If our enemies incite or instigate a situation whereby Lagos is destabilised or burned to the ground, FG will still rule from Abuja. Yoruba, e ya ara yin ni brain. |
omohayek:Bro, the day I learned that some blacks actually fought on the side of the Confederate army (slave owners) against the Union army during the American civil war (a war that was essentially fought to end slavery), that was the day I started making sense of black support for DT. . Nothing fit shock me again about human behaviour since then. |
This must be another fake news from enemies of Biafra. Ever since a prophet declared the vision that FFK would one day be president of Biafra, enemies of progress have gone to work with all manner of propaganda in an attempt to discredit Biafra's future president. But I will like to urge all Biafrans to remain calm as this is just another failed attempt by the zoo's propaganda machinery. ![]()

AniOmaa:Yimu. 'Measure up to Igbos' how' We are the ones 'UP' already, so unless we wan go down, there's absolutely nothing to 'measure up' to when it relates to you guys. When it comes to agriculture in the South, e kere si number. The cash crops exports receipts prove it. SW produces and earns/exports more crops of value than any other egion in the south and arguably in the whole country (e.g, Cocoa, Tobacco, e.t.c). The region also hosts the largest piggery farms in West Africa, and a very prolific poultry sector (in fact the biggest in the entire country), amongst others. So tell me, what is there to 'measure up to' with you una?? |
That Imota Ota Rice mill in neighbouring Lagos will have enough local rice to mill. |
Ogun has some crazily big Agro-allied concerns. Another one is the Solomon Kesington Agro-allied Limited at iperu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GohICdHkMos

obaaderemi:Well, I see it a bit differently. For as long as Nigeria remains the way it currently is structurally, Yorubas must continue to have a strong stake in Nigeria mainstream politics. And for that reason alliances with other regions will be inevitable. We are not operating a regional structure whereby each region has the quasi-independence to drive its own socio-politico-economic policies. A hostile FG/central government can render state efforts futile under Nigeria's current structure therefore our political elite must always play smart politics, at least until a more (truly) federal structure replaces the current one. No geopolitical zone can go it alone (as it were during regionalism) under the current structure. So we should accommodate different strategic approaches to power politics in yorubaland, to be safe. Let those agitating for a more federal structure (restructuring) and outright regional independence continue to do so, while those with the political savvy should also ensure that Yorubas continue to have a seat at the decision-making table in Abuja should also keep doing so - - (in order to make sure we don't get shortchanged). That'll be a win-win for the race. Practicing wholesale political isolationism under the current structure will not work in our favour. |
GTkester:E pain am. Truth hurts. If truly you are angry, I have already advised you on those that you should direct your anger at - - your good for nothing and myopic igbo leaders, both past and present. Thankfully, the current crop of mainstream Yoruba political elite have learned from the mistakes of the likes of Awolowos; they have realized the true political worth of igbos in Nigeria as presently constituted (which is next to nothing), and have instead chose a more pragmatic path towards power politics in Nigeria. If only Awolowo had realized early enough that in his quest to rule Nigeria in order to drive and implement his great visions for the country, that he was 'barking up the wrong tree' by repeatedly and literally begging for an alliance with igbos, perhaps he would have had better chances of bargaining to realize that ambition with those that really matter. While Awo was demonstrating an idealistic approach to power politics by begging igbos for an alliance, igbos repeatedly showed that they had no scruples about allying with the North to share power. But we Yorubas don shine our eyes by being more politically pragmatic. So omo yeibo, your anger never even start. Wait till another yoruba man ascends the Presidency in 2023. Na den you go begin weep and gnash your teeth in real anger. |
GTkester:You are a first-class hypocrite. If truly you are angry at the current state of affairs in Nigeria, that anger should be directed at your Igbo politicians of the first Republic (especially Azikiwe and Okpara) and indeed subsequent ones that chose the North over the West, and repeatedly rejected Awolowo and the West's overture/advances towards forming a political alliance for the purpose of moving Nigeria forward.

SLAP44:Nna eh, e rugged o. Didn't know igbos can also biictch and whine about being displaced by other traders. Maybe now una go understand why Ghanaians are feeling threatened over what they see as unfair competition from igbo traders. Better tell your traders to suck it up and take their 'L' like grown a$$ men rather than biitch like a bunch of pu$$ies. Real talk. |
[quote author= post=92822476]Come to Onitsha and show me how many Chinese own investment here, can you mention one industries in Onitsha own by Chinese I will mention 10 own by Chinese in Ogun[/quote]Mechionu there. You are in denail. Since you are Anambra-based, shebi you can see the name of the the business owner in that Financial Times article, just get your lazy bum a$$ up and go look for Caltec at Onithsa, and ask him how he's getting his ass handed to him by the Chinese traders. After that you can also hit Aba and do your findings. Very soon shhit would hit the fan and una go begin treat them Chinese traders same way Ghanaians are currently treating igbo traders that are competing with them in their retail markets. ![]() |

[quote author= post=92818951]I hope you guys will not cry the way you guys are crying over Igbos in Lagos, more the report was written by your brother.[/quote]Guy, your lamentation ought to be directed at your own people/traders who are already crying that the Chinese are taking over their markets. Una wey dey always chestbeat about 'dominating' other people's markets are already crying like babies because y'all can't handle Chinese competition. See your life? Smh.

Whether he supports Tinubu (or any other southerner), or not, Nigeria will not break up any time soon and politics will not stop, so those that prefer to keep agitating should continue doing so, while the politicians will continue playing their politics. ![]() |
Abohboy:His name is Tayo Amusan, not Tony Amusan.

The excesses of these ipob criminal minds in the SW need to be curbed. I have observed an increasing number of crimes perpetrated by these Biafrats in Ogun state lately. They left Biafra in search of greener pastures in the SW, only to come and start committing crimes. This nonsense must stop. ![]() |
fancyhandsome:Oh really?? Chichi Igbo is no longer igbo and female, right?

PericomaNwankwo: |
Oladeji245:Guy, abeg dey your dey. I would rather not engage you in any roforofo fight over this issue. Just grow some thick skin because just as you are entitled to call Tinubu names, so are his ardent supporters entitled to hit you back as they see fit. To such supporters, you may be dragged as though you are a Yoruba-hating igbo troll (coz they are the ones that are mostly fond of hating Tinubu for the most irrational reasons), similar to the way fellow igbos are labelled 'Afonja' for abusing Kanu or supposedly holding unpopular views that they deem to be anti-igbo or against the larger igbo interests). It's a free world. |
Oladeji245:Oga Ade calm down. I am not amongst those that will drag you for not supporting Tinubu. I was only giving you my perspective as to why I think you may be getting dragged more often than not. And that was why I used the Kanu analogy. Try opening a thread on this forum to drag Nnmadi Kanu and watch the caustic responses you would receive from his fans and admirers. His followers online are way more than his opponents, that's just the way it is. Historically, Yorubas have always had 'mainstream' (a political party that dominates the region) existing side-by-side with opposition parties within the same region. And like I said, even Awolowo had fierce opposition in his SW/Western region political base. Therefore it is not a crime for you not to support Tinubu. But perhaps you just need to grow some tough skin because you can't expect to call Tinubu names and not get a reaction from some of his ardent supporters. Politics can be an emotional sport. It is what it is. ![]() |
Oladeji245:Bro, I see where you are coming from, but your experience (however unfortunate) only goes to show that your position is in the minority. Even Awolowo had fierce rivals within Yorubaland (with many being his former political associates even). By 1983, UPN had lost Oyo and Ondo (though it later regained Ondo via the courts), before the coup that ushered in Buhari struck. The situation is kinda like what you find with Kanu and igbos online. The support that Nnamdi Kanu enjoys amongst Igbos online is reflective of the widespread support he enjoys on the ground. Fine, not every igboman supports Kanu, but I would argue that even those ones that don't support him have one or two areas where they agree with him. Yorubas may not agree with Kanu or even dislike his methods, but when it comes down to numbers, that guy has the 'street credibility' amongst regular everyday igbos, moreso online. It is what it is. I don't support you getting attacked for not supporting Tinubu, but that is just reflective of how unpopular your position is amongst mainstream Yorubas. ![]() |
Jetleeeee:Bro, you have said the koko. For as long as Yorubas remain in Nigeria as presently constituted politically, we will always need a rallying point. Doesn't mean all Yorubas will support him, or that all Yorubas will be in such a rallying point's party, no. But such a person whom has paid the price politically to build the network and political capital will enable us claim our stake and give us a place at the table. Say what you like about Tinubu, but the man earned his stripes over the years. If it was that easy to remain relevant in the landmine that is the Nigerian political terrain, or if it was that easy to and remain a 'godfather' in Nigeria, his contemporaries (the likes of Orji Kalu, Kwankwaso, Bukola Saraki, Rochas Okorocha) would still be relevant. When the SW was under the PDP, it lacked the cohesive glue that it has enjoyed under the ACN/APC, and that cost us a seat at the table. If Tinubu had not built the ACN into a formidable party across the SW (like Awo did with AG and UPN), Yorubas would not have been opportuned to produce the VP and other slots in the current admin that have benefitted the region. Historically and politically, Yorubas thrive best in Nigeria when they can have a regional rallying point for negotiations. The rest of Nigeria take us more seriously, politically, when we organize ourselves as a formidable regional bloc. E.g, GEJ had to give concessions (which he later reneged on and paid dearly for) to the Tinubu-led ACN in 2011 in order to win bloc votes from the region. In that instance, he knew whom to talk to (Tinubu) to deliver the goods, and it worked perfectly -- ACN delivered 5 out of the 6 states in the region (with the exception of Osun, which was deliberate btw) to GEJ in spite of having its own Presidential candidate (in the person of Ribadu). GEJ later reneged on the agreement he had with the ACN, and again, the same ACN was able to leverage on its region-wide strength to form a coalition that denied him re-election. None of that would have happened if a rallying political figure like Tinubu wasn't in the picture. Many if not most of the Yoruba-centric politicians that are making impact in Buhari's administration had their break through Tinubu, all the way up to the VP. So much so that even Fayemi had to recently called him 'leader of leaders', coz he has managed to groom and reproduce more political leaders that have gone on to make impact in Yorubaland than any other politician in modern times. The attention that the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, which OBJ and GEJ neglected, has received under this admin would not have happened if we didn't have a strong stake in the Buhari government. Ditto the Lagos-Ibadan rail. Under the PDP, Yorubas had no regional rallying point, hence it was easy for GEJ to relegate them. How many Yoruba PDP politicians can boast of a network of political loyalists that cut through the entire SW region? Not one. If it was that easy to command the level of respect and loyalty he does politically across board, other politicians both within and outside the region would have replicated the feat. Tinubu may not be a saint (no politician is, not even Buhari), but his political capital is unrivaled in Yorubaland, and even his foes know that. |
[quote author=Beautifulminde3 post=89264278][/quote]Lol. You are still in severe pain. Ndo. I can only imagine how defeated you must be feeling coz frustration is written all over your posts (na with serious frustration and Agidi you dey type) Sorry eh. Smh. After all the hype you spend all that time doing on social media, only for that same Osun state to make it all seem wasted. Can you imagine Osun outperformed Anambra, Again!!! I'd be mad as fvck too if I were in your shoes. Omo, you gotta double up. Maybe you need to throw in a few more brown roof pictures here and there, cook up a couple more cosmetic and phantom stats to make Anambra look a bit more super-duper. You get? Else you might just loose your job if Osun keeps doing this to Anambra every freaking time. This simply cannot continue. ![]() |
