Tinubu ordered yorubas to vote for pdp agains acn,really?.Tell me more...

Some here may not understand the import of these results. It shows that after the collapse of ACN/CPC talks, Jonathan was able to secure a guarantee from Tinubu and the other ACN leaders to soft pedal in the South West for him to have a foothold in the region, hence the bright showing of PDP in the West. On the other hand, Ribadu and Shekarau agreed to support one of their own - Buhari, hence the resurgence of CPC all over the Northern States.

These things could not be announced openly due to the closeness of the agreement to the election date, but the messages were relayed to party leaders at ward levels and also to party agents, hence the incident of ACN agents voting for PDP.

The fact that this election throws up is that South - South coalition can defeat the Northern oligarchy in free and fair elections - that is, if Jonathan wins. The great sage, Awo foresaw this possibility in his lifetime which explains his oft recourse to selecting Igbo Vice Presidential candidates, but the propaganda machines of the oligarchy prevented a south-south coalition to see the light of the day. Today, Awo is being vindicated, the south can actually win the presidency of Nigeria without bowing to the shenanigans of the oligarchy.

Just Fuvk away

You are an Omo Ale Y'oba

I know your type. I have asked you what you have ever contributed to the development of Yorubas and you have turned into a deaf and dumb imbe.cile.

You have denigrated every suggestion on this thread while trying to create acrimony in the process. Take your PDP opposition mantra to another thread

If you must comment, make sure it is constructive and not insulting.

MayorofLagos:
You are correct.

Im going to be very blunt with this comment.

In order to progress forward we need first to establish a platform from which to nurture the progress we yearn. From our numerous time markers - Kiriji, 1906 amalgamation, 1914 amalgamation, 1957 regional autonomy, 1960 independence, 1963 republic, 1966 coup, 1967 war,1970 reunion, 1979 republic, 1983 coup, 1992 annulment, 1999 republic, 2015 change - at which point did we achieve our optimum best as a Yoruba Commonwealth? The answer is 1957. The progress was killed by Ibos, starting in 1963 and ending in 1967.

When we ruled ourselves in an independent Western Regional Government spanning from 1957 to 63 our people recorded monumental progress. In 1963, Ibos attacked our progress in attempt to truncate it. Unsuccessful the first time, they attempted again in 1966 and ended ruining the entire country in the process.

We fared well after the war and untill the 1992 annulment, again Ibos were instrumental in the political confrontation.

From 1999 we again recovered and were recovering losses but in the GEJ government filled from top to bottom with Ibos we were marginalized from the center....but the damage was eben deeper because they flooded our land with Ibo migrants and using policies from the central.authorities, activated trade monopolies that put Yorubas at economic and political disadvantage on our own soil.

At every turn in our existence in Nigeria, Ibo has been an underlying problem. We cannot sustain our progress too long without first finding a solution to them. Fortunately, one after the other our traditional rulers are discovering too that their domain is at risk if the excesses of Ibo in Yorubaland is left to continue without immediate check.

We must by all means distance our relationship and alliance with Igbos in other to even find a footing ....a solid one....from which to launch a renaissance in our commonwealth.

Afenifere has a website. Afenifere Renewal Group has a website also. If you cant find it let me know.

Some countries are known to have put embargo on certain political class and use political controls to minimize their adverse effect on the mainstream of their society. Whites do this to blacks in US. I see no reason we cannot put embargo on Ibos free movement and excesses in Yorubaland....and do it in tune with the Constitution.

Like Fashola said in his Ministerial vetting appearance at the Senate. Freedom of speech or movement is not absolute! There is a boundary....has Ibo crossed that boundary? Yes and many times over. It is time to begin to relate with them at a distance and under surveillance.

Please ignore that fool, he want to turn this thread to a PDP vs APC trash. He is one of those peeps that defend politicians on nairaland, he is always online 247 to argue and fight over politicians. Ignore him abeg.

Can you produce something out of NOTHING
What have we invested in the education of ALL our children in yorubaland since UPN governors were kicked out in Dec. 1983?
What have we invested?

Which investor will set up in a place with inappropriately skilled labour and insufficient pool of workers?
The investor na fool?

Even those who are building mansions like Linda Ikeji with her N850 million banana Island villa are not TAXED adequately.

E ko sa igi l'ogbe, e ko ta oguro l'ofa, e gbe enu si idi ope, se ofe lo n ro - you make NO effort to tap the wine from the palm tree yet you open your mouth waiting for palm wine to flow freely inside.

9jacrip:
I'm with you on this post despite the many shots thrown your way.

I've come to understand, no matter how bad or good a person's reputation might be, it is important to keep an eye or ear out for cogent points in their utterances.

Osun, despite having a number of tertiary institutions, has poor rate of educated residents. I'm from there, so I know.

As a result, bringing investors will mean creating employment for Osun/Yoruba expats to come back to seize or non-Yoruba while the residents do not get employed.

WIZGUY69:
Give me the links or forever keep your fingers.
or are you here to detail this thread? if that's the case it will be mission impossible!

9jacrip:
Kwara isn't tricky at all.

Settlement pattern already makes it easier, Yoruba occupy Ilorin south down to Ganmo, Ajase Ipo to Offa's border with Erin Osun. So, the border can be redrawn from Yoruba's portion of Ilorin.

The Kogi's situation is what I do not understand, are Yoruba settled in a particular section directly bordering other Yoruba states or they are scattered across the state or even have non-yoruba towns spread in between them and the SWest?

CabbieAC:
I agree with all these but then again i've had conversations with some kwarans and they appear to me like Algebraic Geometry.


All you hear is "i'm kind of", "Technically" and some other nonsense like that

They hardly give you direct answers.I was following the argument between rilwayne and the other bashir guy on one of those threads and i got lost in the middle of the argument.Those guys need to come out and tell us where they stand.Okun people occupy Kabba-Bunu, Yagba-West, Yagba-East, Mopa-Muro, Ijumu and Lokoja and it seems Kogi is close to Edo and Ekiti

ProfShymex:
Lmaooo!!

Ha! - are you saying every group in that contraption is the Northerners' biitch? - holy shiit, I see why these folks love polygyny and they love the chics young, fresh, and brand new. So, they're basically practicalising that on my Yoruba folks, no? Ain't that a biitch? - and these folks are supremely proud of being perpetual biitches and they'll defend one-Nigeria so bad that their quest for being a good wife would make them go out of their way to attack other folks who're against the quagmire, so as to keep the husband happy and fat. SMFDH. Yorubas are the type of wife every guy dreams of - the one wife that will ride or die and fight ya battles for you regardless of how you maltreat her.

Trust me, I don't understand Yoruba folks in Nigeria and their passion for that shytehole of a country. It's sad, really. The Igbo question is just a no-go area...those folks are the type of folks you keep arm's length if you're not the type that's confrontational and won't hesitate to tell someone to fvck off for being unruly. Only Northerners and Igbos can get along. And Yorubas aren't generally like that - so forming an alliance with Igbos would be problematic. Evidently, if the whole South can't unite - the only folks that would always be in an advantageous position would be the Northerners, coupled with the fact that the country is lopsided in their favour. That means they'll always call the shots on how the country is run and these folks are the most backward people ever - there's absolutely nothing progressive about them.

9jacrip:
The people who seem confused are those from Ilorin but people from Offa know they are not supposed to be in the North.

Do we have to wait for them to come out or show them we need them back here?

CabbieAC:
Hmmmmn so where do we start from?They're not even part of the DAWN project

CabbieAC:
9jacrip do you think its safe to say Okun people wear the Yoruba identity with more pride than the Yorubas in Ilorin?

9jacrip:
We cannot throw them away.

While the ibo are agitating for Biafra, the Yoruba in Kwara and Kogi are worth agitating for. If we had the cohesion I spoke of, they could start it in their states and we support them across the SWest.
