nobody is obsessed with where anybody comes, what we do is to bring out the truth with facts and figures...you guys have so much lied to Nigeria that they seems to believe all your ranting.....eg most educated tribe, most sophisticated tribe...we puncture these with facts and historical facts....



I AM NOT THE ONE THAT WROTE THAT..SARAKI SAID IT HIMSELF...IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH HIS ORIGIN ASK HIM NOT ME. I AM JUST QUOTING HIM. STOP THIS ATTACHEE BY FORCE

emmatok:
Why are you Igbos obsessed with Saraki been a Fulani or YORUBA man.

Stelvin101:
issorit. I just hope the British aren't gold diggers cause they never liked Nigeria, not even for a second.

they never liked Nigeria yet we have morethan 2.5 million Nigerians living there,pls find something to say okkkkk

tonychristopher:
The has been questions and claims that Saraki is a yoruba man, but they just married a yoruba woman and African been a patrimonial society knows that a child is from the father.... we also try to understand Fulani aristocracy and rulers in kwarra state. This has made many people play ostrich and claim saraki...but the Saraki family clarified these doubts and they are recorded for posterity reasons. The posterity is here and APC is here with PDP


Please read with objective mind and this is no tribal bashing or name calling but a historical and intellectual exercise


There is also this unspoken dimension of Fulani-Yoruba rivalry in the matter. Saraki saw himself as a Fulani and Offa people, far from the Sardauna days before Saraki burst into scene, in our characteristic manner of holding our own against any subjugation �real or imagined � have always seen Saraki as the face of Fulani rule in Kwara. Indeed, the cheapest campaign line against Saraki in Offa is, ‘a vote for Saraki(that is, his candidate) is a sale of our Yoruba birthright to Fulani aristocracy'. It worked wonders, even though it never got us political clout outside our domain, as even the Kwara South senatorial representation, which should be in our kitty as the largest and perhaps most politically conscious community in the zone, was always elusive, no thanks to the Saraki influence in other part of the zone, which made us one-community army. In fact, this factor played openly in the Lawal-Saraki tug of war ahead of 2003 elections, where Offa people preferred and voted for Lawal, who was seen as face of Yoruba in the state. No prize for guessing our votes were not able to secure victory for the retired naval officer. -

Journalist:One is at a loss about your real identity because some people would call you a Fulani while others would describe you as a Yoruba. Some said your mother was from Iseyin and your wife is from Owo in Ondo State. There are even people saying you are half Christian while others argue that you are a devoted Moslem. Who really are you?



Saraki:My mother was from Iseyin in Oyo State while my father was from Ilorin in Kwara State. My great-great grandfather originated from Mali and I am talking about some 150 to 200 years ago. And they are Fulani and that is where we got our Fulani connection from. My great grandfather settled in Ilorin preaching the religion of Islam. A section of Ilorin came from Gwandu, they were all refreshing and they were religious but my people came there as practicing Muslims from Mali with their “own Quran”.

In fact, the Emir and I used to joke that we had our own Quran and that nobody

Nigeria: Saraki Has a Fulani Agenda Says Alhaji Olola Kasumu

Q: What's your union doing now that your chiefs have been downgraded?

A: The amendment of the Chiefs Appointment and Deposition Law by the state government is the most undemocratic and illegal step ever taken by this administration of Bukola Saraki. It was maliciously done to punish perceived political enemies of the present government and provided opportunity for them to dismantle all the good things put in place by the immediate past government of Alhaji Mohammed Alabi Lawal.

smart dude

And why this epistle. This doesn't distort the fact that his favorite food is amala and ewedu. He loves palm oil. Married to a beautiful Toyin ojora. Speaks Yoruba at home as his mother tongue, prostrate to greet elders like Yoruba's. Has beautiful yoruba children.
Knows nothing about Fulani culture except the Quran.
Note , I am married to someone from the same town as saraki.

Freemanan:
I love this girl that likes this man...

i hate this guy that loves this girl

Rumpelstiltskin:
Goodluck to him. I hope he doesn't end up embarrasing the ambassador. The Saraki I know is obnoxiously proud, arrogant and high-handed.

Is he that proud?

You're the one lying to yourself here.

Anytime a post about Saraki comes- up, you Igbos start shouting Hausa/Yoruba like your life depends on it.

I wonder how Saraki been Hausa or Yoruba affects an igboman.

hedonistic:
It's interesting to see how this sneaky Dino Melaye has been following Saraki up and down like a shadow, positioning himself as one of the Senate President's front men. I am sure he is also interested in getting a "juicy" committee chairmanship.

Before nko? I've not forgotten his wife battery case and still, girls will open legs yakata for him. Mtcheeeeeeeew.
SMH for ladies of this generation.

fanysteve:

Busy body. Abeg park well before u display ur stupidity in public. What do you know about Nigerians living in the UK? have u been to UK before and do you knw the level of racism Nigerians living in UK face? Naaa, I don't think so. so sharrap plz and mind ur damn biz. if u r having a rough day, suicide is there for u as a primary option.

obailala:
Is it just me or does anyone else see the resemblance between Dino and Rochas?

www.nairaland.com/attachments/2508925_de_jpege0aec8c491eb290c7ec3f0482ace2d1b

Yes they share similar traits.

Mistaarhlohki:
Seriously if the British were allowed to stay a longer period.. They would have developed Nigeria and handed over to us....

Have you thought about this yet?

Yes I have. In fact, we would have to fight real hard to get our independence if oil was discovered before 1960.

solonazzy:
keep yelling sai saraki n thief nubu....we r all in d same country...n wit d saraki I kno, if his very own kwara state r lookin for Hw to rescue demselves from his bondage, den after 4 yrs u'll understand y Ppl were worried wit his emergence as senate presi...I'm sure u hav never been to Kwara state...well Dats whr I am nw

Please what did he do in Kwara state?

ferhyntorlah:
Is he that proud?

Worse than that. I'm talking from experience. I think it has to do with the manner he was brought up. Even when some senators who are not principal officers are discussing with him, you need to see the way he responds. He's quite philantropic though but he feels money can make everyone worship him. I hope he realizes the huge responsibility before him now and improves on his relation with people of 'lower class'.

You and I would have done the same thing. Nice one from DINO

The West and Buhari presidency......................... Loading.

[size=14pt]Tinubu does not even hear the mofos crying here. He's busy making his billions. Saraki ride on. The title fit you. Whether na Saraki abi the person APC want all na APC. My own be say na our person dey there. Some of us in APC have been saying no to God fathersim so Buhari's tenure is really bringing the change we need.

Sai Buhari Sai Baba[/size]

They have started. The NASS election is a very sweet one. These guys from UK and US should steer clear. there is no gay marriage in Nigeria. If they like let them stay with their aids. I hope GMB wont fall for their intrigues.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki today eulogized the continued bilateral relationship between Nigeria and the UK, assuring that the present administration is determined to fulfill its obligations to the betterment of the nation. The Senate President while hosting the visiting British High Commissioner, Dr. Andrew Pocook in his office today commended him for reinvigorating the mutual understanding that exist between the two countries.

Better countries that understand the importance of democracy and not chop-chop cliques are happy for Nigerians choosing their leaders. While the shady criminals that wish to install puppets to loot the country for them are still grieving.
Such is life.
