I'm also from Ondo but I was born and brought up in the north. I think we Ondo are more pro Yoruba than any other Yoruba sub tribe in Nigeria. Almost all Ondo indigene wish we Yoruba can just have our country instead of this force relationship. I'm so sorry to say this, Nigeria can never work because we are too different from each other. I pray this division happen sooner more than anything
I'm from Osun state and I'm tired of this country called Nigeria.

Buhari and T!iefnubu that divided Nigeria along ethnoreligious lines with their lopsided appointments and utterances and complete disregard to the federal character laws haven't been accused of being divisionists, but it's a woman that said the obvious truth that will be accused so.

100 percent right. I am a Yoruba by birth and nature. Nature made me Yoruba, I am a Nigerian by mistake.
same here. I am a Yoruba man. I don't want to be identified as Nigerian. Nigeria is a mistake

How's Tinubu and Buhari treating Eastern Nigeria please?

Ndi Victim mentality. Always claiming victim.

What does Ronu and Emilokan mean?
Buhari and Tinubu treated Nigerian as slave. Tinubu is from my village in Osun state. Are you happy with what is happening in Nigeria today? Was this how Nigeria is in 2015?

Shettima and you all should be ashamed of exchanging words with a lady. Ladies are children forever, no matter their age, financial status, nationality, education, and profession.

Shame to you all who expected anything better than this from a lady.

Please, Kemi ride on. You are doing exactly what I expected from a lady. I am proud of her for not disappointing me.
dumb statement from a broke man. Compare Nigeria a shit hole country with other counties governed by women. Nigeria will forever be backward and a 3rd world country yet na men dey rule am

In 2010 while running for the UK Parliament and needed the support of Nigerians in the UK, Kemi was more proud to be a Nigerian than Yoruba. In 2024 that she is an established politician and now a UK party leader, Kemi is now more proud to be a Yoruba than a Nigerian.
Nigeria was still a country in 2010 not now anymore. A country where her citizen cannot feed.

They lost an election.

They have had a series of bad/failed leaders. It is very possible to be a foolish person and the head of a political party.

Donald Trump has just been elected the president of the USA. In years past George W. Bush held the same position. Neither is an intelligent man.
is Tinubu wise? Is he intelligent?

She sounds very foolish and that is the trademark of ipob and its adherents both active and passive ces’t comprend?
you're also confirming what kemi said. You don't like the easterners calling them ipob. Igbos don't like hausa as they're the ones drawing us back and milking the nation. They don't like yoruba since na yoruba join hands dey destroy Nigeria with northerners

Indians, Lebanese, Chinese do not treat her citizens like a slave. Their leaders are not as useless and corrupt like Nigerians leaders.
Go read about communist china, parts of India a d Lebanon are in constant war but their foreign countries do not project those negative sides. Or u think what she said will help the Yoruba she now claims to identifies with and hurt the North she hates?

I can understand not wanting to associate with all the vices in Nigeria, and what she said is the truth. Yorubas have very little in common with Northerners. I mean, Yorubas are much more tolerant of others than the Northerners.

But for a person of her standing, that was a careless statement to make. If she, as a black person, is going that far all in an attempt to distance herself from Nigeria and warm herself into the embrace of the Whites in Britain, then you've got to wonder what they now think of her.

Personally, if I were in a relationship with you and you denigrate your own people right in front of me, I immediately see you as being a self-serving individual capable denigrating me tomorrow.
The truth hurt. I love kemi so much

This will be used against her someday, I think she's fooling herself by saying she's more of a Yoruba than being a Nigerian, she will forever be seen as a UK citizen of Nigerian descent
It will never be used against her, get up from your slumber. Nigeria has nothing to offer her

I have deliberately restrained myself from commenting on this lady’s unguarded statements but at this point I am beginning to wonder if she is in alignment or seeking for validation from ipob because she sounds really stupid and un British.

I will be very surprised if the conservatives don’t throw her out of office before any major or general election.

These silly talks will not make her the prime minister of Great Britain.
And where did ipob come up from? Or are you being silly again?

She mentioned the north and Boko haram but you've added the east. The way you clowns masturbate on the matters concerning the Igbos is alarming.

The IBOS are Nigerians now when a Yoruba woman claimed her identification with Nigeria is only with her Biological roots. Everybody knows what she says is the same as the thoughts, behavior and confessions of the IBOS as BIAFRANS but because she mentioned YORUBA, she has stepped on IBOS ego.

Perhaps, if YORUBA leave Nigeria, the IBOS would forget BIAFRA and remain Nigerians.

She has stepped on the egos and spirit of the IBOS with her statement. Though, I did not support her response to VP Shettima, she should have kept quiet. Her statement, unknown to her is not directed to VP Shettima. There are scenarios that make IBOS remember they are Nigerians and not Biafra and this is one of them.

98% of people that will condemn her for this statement will be IBOS as Northerners have no time for Social Media discussion.

She should have kept quiet rather than replying VP. Being a Yoruba transcend more than Nigeria. Some time ago during Buhari presidency, a King from Accra Ghana led Native people and Chiefs to Ooni of IFE to pay homage in recognition of their root to Ife.

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala that travelled down from US to testified against Obasanjo during the Ndi Elumelu power Sector probe of the House of Representatives under Yaradua but she fled Nigeria before Jonathan handed over power on May 29, 2015 and refused to answer questions on Finance Ministry to Buhari government.

I don't know who financed her trip to Nigeria to testify against OBASANJO during the probe. Obasanjo removed her as Minister of Finance and moved her to Foreign Affairs towards the end of his administration. Yaradua government was against OBASANJO. The IBOS were so excited. I was in Abuja that time. I witnessed Patricia Etteh saga, Professor Nike Grange and Senator Iyabo OBASANJO saga. I never expected her to testify at that Power Sector probe.

That's why we say Nigeria can't work.. So do u agree with kanu?
Re: Kemi Badenoch: I Identify More As A Yoruba Than A Nigerian by Wyttcat: 7:35am On Dec 14, 2024
The exact way it should be.

If you have a problem with this go and argue with your ancestors who gave you your own identity.

We are Yoruba, not Nigerians, though our land is now called part of Nigeria, we are Yoruba first and last.

I love this woman, she a real Omoluabi.

You cannot continue to do this to people. There are a lot of people very well known to most people who have stolen from or are stealing from our common wealth and yet I am not seeing this amount of energy and outcry against that. Kemi is not the reason for the state of the country, some of the people speaking against her are. 99.9% of the political class in Nigeria today have done more harm to this country than Kemi can ever imagine.

You are liar. It started under Jonathan. Yaradua started it systemically and gradually but he couldn't finish because of sickness. Jonathan started it. It led to a very tough fight between OBASANJO and Chief Edwin Clark.

Chief OBASANJO hardly make comments on nepotism or tribal issues. Under Jonathan, OBASANJO complained bitterly about lopsided appointments. There was an open letter he wrote about it . Chief Edwin Clark replied him on several pages of Newspapers. It became heated argument. Chief Edwin Clark on Newspapers listed appointments breakdown hiding and removing key sectors, despite that, it was widely visible.

Irrespective of what she said or did not say, she is not winning any election. She has started divide and rule like her tribes men in Nigeria. Many Conservatives are running to reform party now.

You bringing ipob to the equation portrays my earlier accession of divide and rule inherent to SW people. Kemi is not different.
Re: Kemi Badenoch: I Identify More As A Yoruba Than A Nigerian by Wyttcat: 7:44am On Dec 14, 2024
They know, but just want to destroy her just because she's Yoruba
If she was ibo, my goodness, they would have made her the second coming of Christ and demand we worship her.

If you are a Yoruba, real one, not fake or the ones tainted with animals blood like Dele Farotimi or Obasanjo, and you speak against Kemi, you are on the wrong side of history again and your life is already over. You will never experience good thing in your life, because you are working against your isedale and they will bury you before you die. From this moment on you will think and feel like you are one of the fish in a sardines can.
