I took my time to listen to the man's position. Though filled with disguised self interest and bias, he made some valid points. First, some set of people cannot in any way decide the course of the Yoruba Nation. Who chose these guys to decide what Yoruba wants? This is how aristocracy starts. I am first a Yoruba before a Nigerian, yet I extremely believe in the strength of diversity. History has proved that to be the most potent tool of progress in other climes. However since other ethnic groups are not buying the marriage, I understand the urgency for everyone to claim what they can. But approach and motive matters a lot so it doesn't end up being a case of pouring old wines in new bottles.


Secondly, Yakasai asserted for a National Referendum to be embedded in our Constitution before such advocacy can be valid in the first place. That makes sense. We cannot thrive in disorder when we still have a social contract. The Constitution is what makes us a country in the first place. Any modifications to that should be done from the source for it to be valid. So let all these warring factions come together and put pressure on the National Assembly to input the clause in CLEARLY defined terms. Honestly, it beats me how we got to this point as a nation where we only filter news with our sentimental ears.

Guestlander:
I've noticed that as well but it is a tactical error on their part. We have a longer history of religious tolerance and I don't see how people from some far off land will turn families against each other. It is going to fail.

Shut the fook up, oloshi

IgboticGirl:
Y not fucck out if u are so pained

JohnXcel:
Really? If true that's great!
Can you create a thread with sound pics of the place?
Thanks.

laudate:
Great! Onward Paper Mills & Stationery Stores had earlier been profiled on page 206, too. They are the largest paper mill factory, in Nigeria. Has Kunle Obagun, now handed over the company to his brother, Femi Obagun?

igbodefender:
Park well o jare! Igbos are the aborigines or authochtons of Ife! Produce evidence (not insults) to the contrary or sit down!! Even the Obi of Onitsha has commissions a book on the subject that would soon be out. Simple!

Omofunaab2:
Most of the guys that started that match were not igbos

Most of them are from different tribes in the South South.. While leon balogun (Man of the match) and Moses Ajala Simon are Yorubas.. ogenyi onazi is from benue state.

Only 3 igbos started that match and they are Mikel, Ezenwa and Ndidi.. . But the claimed nine of them were bifrans... Lol

igbodefender:
Do you know there is Ugbo in Igbo Land? What are you talking about? Have you not heard of Onicha (Orissa) Ugbo in Delta State, or Ugbodu, or Ugbokko Arabba?

igbodefender:
Igbos have Judeo-Nubian origin. That remains true. They are not wholly Jewish but their origin is Judeo-Nubian. That is- part Jewish- part Nubian.

igbodefender:
Read your history well! Igbos were the aboriginal group in Ile Ife. The Igbo kings were titled Obatala, or Osere Igbo. They ruled Ife till about 1000 years ago when Oduduwa The Great took over for the Yorubas. The Igbo descendants are there till today, but are now Yoruba.

The point is: we are all one and should build on that, rather than all these hateful mudslinging all over they place!

igbodefender:
We don't care, as long as we are speaking the truth that would help them and others.

EponOjuku:
You're not my Bible and your belief is founded upon your understanding and mine upon my understanding. It is utmost foolishness to force yours on me as you're not the one who saved me.

I suggest you mind your business. When we get to God, let him judge us accordingly.

maclatunji:
Who made you a slave in your own country? #Yeye

People with inferiority complex and lilly liver all over the place.

deedeedee1:
He might not be Yoruba. Dont be deceived by the moniker

maclatunji:
So, you have left America. #LOL

Your self-determined brilliance does not tell you that as messed up Nigeria is, the last thing it needs is a war of secession. Any country you want to mention developed by allowing sedition and treason?

If you don’t want to be equated to a motor park tout, don’t write like one. It is not by typing English or claiming travel #LOL.

Any not-so-smart individual can travel.

60% of all investment to Nigeria is energy or power related. And 99% of all investments go to Lagos, as it is the financial services centre of Nigeria. The Mega billions headed for egina, usan , bong a and gas ipp projects are all transacted with Lagos banks. Much like North Sea projects are done thru London financial institutions and not stavanger or Aberdeen.

That is where I am pissed with ND governors. It is not that oil is gonna stop being relevant (as all military activity and air transport relies on it ) but that where the business is conducted doesn't have to be where the resource is located. That's what tinubu and co get that the local champions in ND seem to not.

Take for example nnpc's fundraising round of close to 4 billion earlier this year. All that will pass thru
Lagos. It will show on Lagos metrics and no where else. I'm a niger deltan but I have to give it to the SW guys for holding it down , business-wise. Until leadership changes elsewhere in this country only Lagos and perhaps Ogun will feature well on such lists.

...In addition, data generated from MAN survey also showed that 69.9 per cent of total manufacturing investment in the review period, which stood at N448.94 billion, went to Ogun; thus retaining the zone as the investment haven of the nation.

Breakdown revealed that investment in Ogun increased to N313.62 billion in the review period from N302.26 billion of the corresponding half of 2015; indicating N11.36 billion increase over the period. It also increased by N259.07 billion when compared with N54.55 billion recorded in the preceding half.
