They are both beasts - arguably the two best black brains in science and tech.

Holy Cow! Can you please show us some pictures? because i don't think anyone here has ever showed us what the roads in ekiti look like

I love the idea of this thread so some of us yorubas can air our views and see reason

Right now the South West is not united and I don't think it will be anytime soon.

We have a self imposed leader that has NEGLECTED AFERNIFERE AND OTHER YORUBA STAKEHOLDERS. PLEASE someone should tell me how the yoruba nation can move forward. A HOUSE DIVIDED ON ITSELF.

Whether we choose to accept it or not, Yoruba nation has a VERY BIG PROBLEM which must be handled with a swift response.

Look at the ministerial list. I mean the only Yoruba leader we have there is Fashola (who is now an enemy to this parasite of a leader) the rest are just figure heads.

We have a "yoruba leader" that does not care about the yoruba nation but only cares about his own personal ego and empowerment.

I love Ekiti, but if they could vote in that slowpoke called Fayose, then they're not as smart as I thought.

IlekeHD:


In 2005 when I went to my village in Ekiti, we had no road, come 2014, we actually have a good road network within the city. I don't know which government made it happen, but the Ekiti Parapo organization all over the US/UK work together to discuss issues within Ekiti. I know about this because my parents are active members.

If you go to Ekiti, especially Ijero and Ikun, you'll see huge houses. A lot of Ekiti families I know are building houses and businesses in Ekiti state.

I was shocked at the 2014 Ekiti, it's quite different from my 2005 visit.

During fayemi's reign, the government was too far from the people and the people did not like that.

In fact, fayemi was a governor in abroad; he was running ekiti state from another state. He was rarely found in government house or his residence.

Fayose came with an alternative: a government the people can see. And the people rushed him like hot cake. Can you blame them?

While well meaning Nigerians are working for the oneness of ALL our Nigerian people, some goons are opening separatist threads. mthcheeeew!

Ngga, you're not Yoruba.

Who knows, this might be nduchucks sef. You came out of hiding to post here abi.

One day you're igbo, the next you're Yoruba, then Ijaw.

It's "Afenifere" and "Yoruba ronu"....fake boi.

Aareonakakanfo:




Beautiful! Another reason might be because Ekiti is very small.A friend of mine who lives in Akure once told me Ekiti is the most beautiful state in Nigeria and has the best road networks but I have only been there once and I was ignorant then so I never cared

aljharem:


Sister, you are not even as yoruba as me. Just because my written yoruba is not that good does not mean I am not yoruba.

You are even in the USA not Nigeria so what gives

Aareonakakanfo:

But in terms of infrastructure even though i might be wrong, fayose hasn't done half of what fayemi did. All fayose does is insult buhari and eat amala in canteens.I guess that was what you meant by being closer to the people

Aareonakakanfo:
Where's that mawffugah i was telling some months back about the Yoruba influence in jamaica.They lack knowledge but love arguments

SirShymexx:


Don't worry, I have got a massive database and I'm just trying to post things one after the other, from sports, to music, to entertainment, to fashion, to academics etc..

SirShymexx:


Don't mind - apart from those who founded this Abeokuta...there is a massive Yoruba enclave in New Town, Jamaica. Most of the Jamaicans from there have Yoruba ancestry.

It was a rasta that told me time ago while I was in Uni. And I have met a few Jamaicans from West Midlands, UK, with Yoruba names.

tonytony208:

You mean the same way some people opened radio station to preach hate and separation?............... Pls don't derail this thread. Thank you.

IlekeHD:


That Fayose is a tout. I dislike him and it's rare for me to dislike anyone. Ignore my NL ijongbonism, I really dislike Fayose in real life. He even looks like an agbero.

How such an slowpoke can have sexy sons is beyond me

Aareonakakanfo:


The only one i know about is abeokuta.I would love to get schooled on the emboldened

SirShymexx:

I will post a few academic references in the morning. I'm knackered right now lol.
I need some sleep.

IlekeHD:


Every time I go to naija, I don't want to leave Ekiti. Yes it's not as busy as Lagos, but the scenery is beautiful and the people are awesome

My sister, american-born didn't want to leave. She asked my mom to send her back

You just feel a sense of peace. It's relatively peaceful there.
