Not to create a debate ground for PdP and ApC folks but I still think Osun people have gotten what they wanted considering the lack of thorough thinking before casting their votes.

I'm not saying Omisore/PDP could have done better or worse but then PDP appeared to have a blue print to keep every part of the state running, they understood the engine pattern of the state and didn't alter it in anyway knowing fully well it would crash at the slightest tweak.

Under Oyinlola, salaries were paid, schools even in their high numbers functioned and a multi campus university was set up and for 4 years, hired the best hands from all over Nigeria and had folks from outside Nigeria back home to lecture and forge a standard for the school.

Aregbe has shattered eveything and I don't see the state coming back considering the debt profile and dwindling oil price which in turn continues to shrink allocations.

APC should forget Osun for the next few years and Aregbe should go ostrich once his tenure finishes. If we had a strong Afenifere, he would have been prevailed upon to set his priorities right.

That state is in a complete mess! Everyone apart from maybe Osogbo has gone back to farming to survive.

The roads he spent money on are starting to get eroded already.

I honestly don't know what Osun can do to get back on her feet except maybe other Yoruba states donate to her cause?

Shymexx articulated his points very well.

The only way Niger can work effectively is by having a confederacy in in regional system of governance in place with each region or confederates being autonomous to a large extent.

I will rather be a small but an effective nation like Switzerland or the Scandinavian countries than being big forl nothing like Nepal.

Isalegan? Isn't she Yoruba? At least I thought she was.

Are you saying we should start getting at them fools with what I have in the picture?

Lol. She's as Yoruba as nduchuck is Igbo and tilapia is Yoruba. I hope you know tilapia is from Taraba. no? These folks were probably raised in Lagos and they understand/speak/write Yoruba, but that doesn't make them Yoruba.

Just watch how she supports Igbo and Fulani on every thread, but reports every Yoruba thread/posters. If you haven't noticed, whenever she's on a thread and you see the mods appear mysteriously to ban you for back and forth with Igbos - just know that the scandalous sket reported you. A lot of folks have detected the fraud, hence they ignore her these days. And recently she has started showing her true Igbo background by going on Igbo threads to blame Yorubas for instigating all the tribal e-wars on here. grin Don't be fooled.

Brev, that's what they need. Curses by the gods. This forum will also disappear mysteriously one of these days. And no backup will be able to save it, cos the mysterious attack will continue till it loses its value. When that happens, all the mods and owner will have to go find a new job. grin

South Sudan and Eritea are new countries. Moreso, Sudan was divided into Arab and black land, not across tribal lines. Hence you have a South Sudan that's still evenly distributed among Bari, Luo, Dinka, and other minor black tribes. Eritea is the same with Tigre and Tigrinya.

Better examples would be Seychelles and Botswana - and both countries are among the top-5 most developed countries in Africa. Seychelles is the most developed country on the continent. And when you look at the ethnic demographics, you'd see that Seychelles has over 93% Seychellois Creole, while Botswana has over 80% Tswana. When countries are like that, they're easy to govern.

Ibos are going to get Biafra, there's no doubt about it. There is no Yoruba on the airwaves opposing it the way Northerners are agitating and threatening against it, or that Ibo elites are themselves opposed to liberation of their land.

The next sixteen years are politically gloomy for Yoruba in this country and the only relief we have is regionalism and or separation. At moment there is deliberation on what would happen to Government should Buhari not have capacity, either for health reason or death, to complete term. Democratically, Osinbajo will take over. That path has been blocked already in Legislature. El Rufai is being groomed for succession.
That's as far as APC goes.

For PDP, the zoning of their 2019 Presidential ticket to NE is for Atiku Abubakar. There is a plot to bring Atiku back to PDP. Saraki and Dogara are going to switch back to PDP and deliver for him. Atiku is over ambitious for his own good. He is not interested in the controls Buhari is installing against corruption. IBB, Abdulsalami, Atiku, Saraki....they will outflank Buhari, Tinubu and APC and return PDP to power. This time around they will go get a VP from SE.

Read the news since IPOB march started, if any Northerner spoke in favor of Biafra at all I guarantee you he is either from NE or in PDP.

Aareeeee,

Lol. I see how passionate and driven you are to get as most people as possible convinced and sold on Yoruba Centric ideologies. In matters like these you need tact. You want a message that will turn people on....and not off!

The thread has received wide visibility already and the level of cerebral inputs you are soliciting will not respond to labelling. A woman will deliver the world to you if you desire it...but you must first flatter that the world is at her feet.

I beg you change the title of the thread to: Yoruba and South West Politics.

Let's see if Odumchi and Fulaman198 will help us throw it back to where it belongs. I hate coming to this section and I can't run away from this thread. Even OAM4J that was made a mod to create a balance has turned a blind eye to the thread. S3un is a sucker.

They didn't do anything right per se. It's basically just the normal growth that happens when folks have a common goal. When goals are divergent, growth becomes a problem due to clash of interests.

And I believe Yorubas are more gifted than folks in Seychelles and Botswana - and we also have better lands to enable rapid growth.

Looking at the permutations,reality no animation.As much as I want this and I fervently hope for this,I don't see the romanis getting biafra anytime soon.Not in this decade, but low-key the whole thing is killing we Yorubas.With the way things are going in the south-east,A lot of folks will become jobless and investors will move out of that region because at the end of the day they still won't get the biafra

The population of Northerners fleeing from Boko keeps increasing in Oyo state on a daily basis

The romanis will come to their Jerusalem/Mecca as usual and things become even worse.Ccccrriiime!

Like 9jacrip said, the south-south guys are still watching from the sidelines so I foresee another messed up region

So technically the only stable region is the South-west and gbam.The south-west becomes fully messed-up and there you have it

I thought I was the only one that noticed it.
the rate at which northerners flock down to SW (specially Ibadan) is alarming.
thereby increasing the rate of destitutes & beggars, having an average northerner as a neighbour is scary cheesy in fact ; a time bomb.
As for the romanis trooping to SW, there's increase in crime rates.

Really and truly, we're better as neighbours than being in the same country. Nigeria is basically like throwing folks with two different lifestyles in the same accommodation. They'll never get along.

Awo saw into the future and I believe he had the opportunity to interact with different people before saying whatever he said.
