CLOSE LAGOS PORTS FOR 60 YES WHILE WARRI, CALABAR, ONNE, PORT HARCOURT AND ONITSHA STAY OPENED, WHILE YOU YORUBAS TRAVEL ALL THE WAY FROM SW TO SS AND SE TO CLEAR AND SHIP YOUR GOODS, AFTER 60 YRS, THEN COME BACK AND TALK TO ME IF YOU LIKE IT. ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT MOST OF YOU AFONJAS IS YOU ARE HEARTLESS, YOU HAVE ZERO SYMPATHY FOR YOUR FELLOW COUNTRY MEN...ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF ONLY.

Lmao, Onitsha port.....

libertyhope2017:
DECEIVING NIGER DELTANS AGAIN...FOR ALMOST 60 YRS, IT'S NOW YOU WANT TO DIVERT CARGO TO CALABAR AND WARRI? WHAT'S THE MEANING OF "DIVERTING"? LAGOS SHOULD DIVERT ITS CARGO INTERNALLY, NOT GIVING LEFTOVERS TO SS PORTS. OPEN ALL PORTS IN NIGERIA INCLUDING DRY KANGAROO PORT IN KADUNA, AND LET THEM ALL COMPETE. STOP HOLDING OTHERS FROM PROGRESSING ON PURPOSE BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID SOME REGIONS WILL FLOURISH WHEN THEIR PORTS OPEN AKA SS AND SE PORTS.

Potor illiterate, who told you the ports were closed before?

Cc:Blue3k

gists:
While I am a supporter of this administration, I don't think Fashola is sincere with this call. Or at best just to divert incoming cargo temporarily to other states and when the roads are finished, they will simply return to status quo. This is a government that is proposing another port in Badagry. Is it that they don't know the traffic implications for the state? If it is for the development of SW (as people tell me), why not take the coming port to Ondo state because they also have access to the sea? At over 20million residence, Lagos is already too congested. I am not an expert in the shipping industry but from a laymans perspective, it makes no sense to have another port in addition to the existing well-function ports in tiny Lagos.

I'm sorry maybe I am myopic and not seeing the bigger picture so I will appreciate an intelligent explanation. The only reason I can think of is if its is for political reasons. Since Lagos has now become like a fortress for APC and Ondo (even Ogun) may not always be guaranteed to be ruled by APC government.

What are you saying? You want lagos state government to build a port in Ondo?? ?

South East Governors are more interested in having more parasitic states

Shame on these guys.

PearlStreet:
I knew people like you would come here to spew nonsense. Jew yesterday, Isreali today, Biafran tomorrow, Nigerian when it is time to share money.

The mistake you flatheaded pigs have is that you mistake our hospitality for foolishness. Just have we have Hausas and other ethnicities in Yoruba land, many of your brothers are in that same Ondo state hawking pirated CDs and selling handkerchiefs in traffic like stranded dancers, yet no one disturbs you.

Have you forgotten that one of your flatheaded fathers who claimed to be the Eze Ndigbo of Akure was beaten like a thief at the Deji's Palace?

We are hospitable but do not harbor criminals and generational fools like those who run back to the SW every January from their Potopoto region as if there is a war going on there.

I dey feel you...

These mods no wan get sense

Awon Oloriburukus blaming the innocent Yoruba girl for what happened.

ODVanguard:
It will interesting to see the way saraki reacts to this, considering that he likes to see himself as one of them. This country is a sick joke.

Na saraki dey see himself as fulani, those guys still see him as an "Afonja" when the senate president tussle was going on, the core Northerners suddenly realized Saraki was yoruba and thought it would be a mistake if Yoruba should be Number 2 and Number 3

sarrki:
Rubbish

The Fulani herdsmen should also be treated as a terrorist

You just dey get sense.


Those fulani herdsmen are bastards, They constitute a greater threat to the So called Unity of this country than Ipob

ankpaa:
Igbo are quick to call minorities slaves of hausa/fulani at the slightest chance, so this serves as a reminder of where you people are coming from. You were once under direct control of one of the minorities.If you dont like this reminder then stop calling others slaves ,focus on your Biafra project.

Wow

The hunchback is somewhere in Cameroon hiding...

TOKUGAWA:
Ijebu ' ilu to ajeji ki nwo' the land strangers are not allowed.

Is there any land without strangers?

Stupid thread

The zoo must fall

Gwaihir:
Nobody is hung over it but it is insulting for someone to say Ibadan was never conquered when it was the British using one as a tool against the other. At the end of the day, aren't we seen as the same today? And the dude is talking about trade like the main trade in the Ibadan area wasn't about slaves! It was so huge that a woman grew so much reputation on her cruelty and her dealings of slave, speaking of Efunsetan here.

If it is the same Owu, it will be as a result of placating the displaced people not because they warred with Ijebu and took that place as conquest

The Owus ran out of their heavily fortified city about 1826. They escaped through their southeastern gate in groups and entered their assailant territories through Ijebu Igbo and spread southward, settling in places like Ikija, Omu, Ayepe and other places. However, the main body of Owu escapees went towards the new settlement of Ibadan

. It is important to state that the present Orile Owu is the same place as Owu Ipole, earlier referred to, where Owus from Iwo and other places resettled in the early 20th century.

The main body of escapees from Ibadan marched across Ogun river and finally arrived at Oke Ata near Abeokuta where Sodeke and other Egba leaders persuaded them to settle about 1834. Again, Owu fought side by side with Egba in the Makun and other wars against Ado Odo and Dahomey in 1842-45. Owu contingents fought and routed Awori at Itori, Yobo, Ifo, Atan, Ota and also occupied those places till today.

Yes, Owu people had fought wars, won battles and settled in very many places between the Niger river and the sea (Owus in Lagos State; Epe, etc.), yet their main stream had settled among the Egbas in Abeokuta BUT, THEY ARE NOT EGBAS, neither are they lJEBUS. (See Johnson’s “History of the Yorubas, p.18). Owu settlements in Ijebu and Abeokuta were not as a result of direct battles or victory over them, but mostly on friendly terms.

Gwaihir:
Those Owus are not the Owus of Obasanjo. Have you heard the Olowu of Owu stating how they got to their present location?

Lol, what do you mean by Owus of obasanjo?

There are Owus everywhere except Ekiti and Ondo. .

The Owus in ijebu migrated there after the war just like the Owus in abeokuta, The Owus in badagry, Owu ikosi in lagos etc

Only Owu kuta in Osun state and Owu isin existed before the war.

There's an annual convention that brings all Owus together. . It's called Ruop, Royal Union of owu people

It was last hosted by Owu abeokuta in Ogun.


Get over all these wars that happened centuries ago

Gwaihir:
Please stop yapping like an illiterate.

Ijebu impeding Ibadan from trade and yet they need to ally with the Brits? Who really then was the trade starving Ibadan or the Brits? And if there were so invincible as you claim, why did they need to ally with the Brits?

Now let me tell you about facts, before the Brits, there was the Ekiti war that had Awujale Fidipote to send Balogun Onafowokan to wage war in Ibadan. That particular king was vehemently against the order of things then and wanted what was rightly due to him on his own land. That was how the Kuku name came into prominence. Ijebus were the first to start using arms which gave them an advantage over the rest of Yoruba land which saw even the Ooni send an emissary to Awujale Fusngbuwa when the Owu were pummeling the Ife, not Ibadan that you claim had a stronger military might. It was the Ijebus that help finish off the Owus which is why they are in that part of Ogun state today. The Ooni was about to lose his kingdom and it was the Awujale of that time that made Ifes not to tell sorry tales about what could have befallen their forefathers in time past.

To add to it, it was Balogun Kuku who sold arms to Ibadan and it was his turncoat that saved Ibadan from being pummeled further. It is all in history, please go and read up.

It may interest you to know, Ijebu was immuned through out the various wars that plagued Yorubaland not until the British came. Not Ibadan that was assaulted by the Alaafin and became what it is by the combined efforts of Ijebu,Owu,Egba warriors for it to stand as what it is today. There is even a district in Ibadan that belongs to the Ijebus as a result of the wars and you say they were invincible? Show me a place in Ijebu where any other tribe holds a district in it

I have the links if you want.

We have Owus in Omu-ijebu and Ijebu igbo.

There's Owu ijebu and their king is Oba Segun Adesina


please don't forget to share those links

Alcatraz005 when will you stop all these bullshit?

Lol, This thread no fit reach 20 pages

Good

GeneralOjukwu:
Shameless....

Knew their tribe & origins before clicking...Nnamdi Kanu said 99%....

Lol

I think we need to be careful about this terrorist tag we've given to IPOB. Not that I care about those guys but I think the fulani herdsmen who go about razing down villages constitute a serious threat to the Unity of this country.

I also think if the government is really serious about preserving any stupid unity then those guys that issued the quit notice ought to have been arrested. .

The government is setting a bad precedence here. . They should quit this double standards.. .

ikennaf1:
Keep crying. I can only imagine your pains cos truly, I don't know how it feels to be you.

Lol, Typical Potor Eleribu... Wetin concern crying for dis matter.. . Shey person die for ur family ni? .

ikennaf1:
Trying desperately to tag someone else with what you're known for. Just as Nigerian Muslims are desperate to tag igbos as terrorists.

We have always known South East for ritual killings.. Infact most of the murderous ritualists here in the South west gets their human parts from various baby factories in the South East.


This is a fact.. . Have you forgotten so quickly Okija shrine? Or Malaysia forest in Enugu?

South East, Nigeria

Headquarters of Ritual killings Aka Skull mining

Oksman:
Your submission is myopic my friend, soldiers are trained to defend the territorial integrity of a nation and not to arrest or track ritualist!

You are the one who is myopic.. .

The Armed forces may be considered adequate and effective for the purpose of suppressing insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the President.

kn23h:
Ibadan is more developed than Ebonyi and Enugu.

Fact

nairanaira12:
Rightly as in being done by the right law enforcement agency

I don't really care who handles it... . It can be a joint operation... we have army/police/Opc joint operations in Ogun state.
