Wow.... so did us calling black americans akata have to do with the black panther movement?

If akata indeed means panther, why did we start using it for black americans?

Lmaaooo I think I've heard of the Dapo character but I still believe we're talking about different characters grin

Eleko Agba awo leyin.e je ki a ma tan ra wa grin grin

Speaking of Lawanson,I used to play in that huge field close to Jubril martins, can't remember the name now

Back then me and my crew, we would trek from Akerele side to that field. shocked ti a ba n pada bo, ese wa ma ti dudu

I remember my mother coming there to look for me once grin grin grin She sent me on errand and after waiting for me for a long time, she started looking for me in every field I always played grin grin Egba ni mumsy fi le mi kuro grin grin cheesy cheesy

I played in Obele as well.I spent part of my childhood there

Then I played in that field inside New era and Ideal girls as well

You are young and cant remember shyyyt. Lol!
That was Ajao!

Im glad you mentioned that firld. Look my brother...Yoruba needs to take stock of past and make on decision on where we are headed.

Do you know who Habeeb Fasinro is? He served and was peer with Mayor of Lagos Olorunimbe in the days of Lagos City Council.

While they were in the city council, Adeniran Ogunsaya and Femi Okunnu were Federal Ministers. This was the age when Surulere was born as a new outcrop to develop and expand new settlements away from Lagos Island, Apapa and Yaba. Akoka at the time was a swamp. Unilag is built on swamp, its hard to discern coming into campus but you can easily tell this when you go past all the buildings and get.to the beach.

Similarly, Surulere was a marshland. Surulere was intended in its design to mirror the suburbs of English villas. LEDB - Lagos Executive Development Company - was responsible for building malls, shops and markets and generally commercial real estate. LSDPC - Lagos State Development and Property Corporation - was handling residential real estate.

LEDB built shop plazas at the confluence of major intersevtions and built shopping malls at residential clusters.

LSDPC built high rise and townhomes and duplexes.as.well as bungalows.

Surulere was the pilot for these new projects. If you go in Surulere you will see that each neighborhood area is made of streets, crecents, close, circles....and each is a replicate of the other. In the circles is where you have built homes arranged around a central recreation area reserved as playground for neighbourhood children and for gathering for residents events.

This field you talked about by Jubril Martins was called Ajao Circle or Crescent or something but ...and I can see it vividly and that entirw area was the perfect model showcasing what these leaders of the 60s had in mind to do for Yoruba progress. That and the entire stretch of residential neighborhoods from Alhaji Masha by Akerele and till you get to Adeniran Ogunsaya shopping complex by Eagle club.

The Governors need to bring these plans back and reintroduce them in every state of this commonwealth.

Bros you literally transported me back to the Lagos i grew up and i can identify with . . . . your short narrative is very much in other and i really wish somehow we can work towards capturing our glorious past back . . . .Surulere, Ilupeju, Festac and Apapa were very strong middle class community then and u could liken it to many middle class communities in developed climes, well manicured estates/roads, community living, community recreational parks, lively neighbourhood and a very upward/mobile middle class back then . . . . how we dropped the ball really breaks me heart.

The moment those impostors, bad enough they staged the coup in '66 then decided in their own warped wisdom going for Unitary system of government eh? i feel that was when Nigeria Died . . . . . Regional government would have helped accelerate regional development to a very large extent and imbued the spirit of pride in every citizen via regional governance and not these chaotic federating units we have now which apart from being damn too expensive to run! we are just not yet wired fully to run the show on that level . . . . .politics of tribalism a very ever present mitigating factor . . . . . . glorious past we did have after independence . . . sobs sobs sobs

Of cos that can be considered a JAMB question aight? undecided

Some school of thoughts felt that maybe cos we got independence literally on a platter of Gold it kinda made our political class then not to appreciate what they had and the enormous work ahead of them . . . . atimes i wonder if the British had left Nigeria around 1997 like they handed over Hong Kong to the Chinese then . . . . we prolly be a first world by now . . . .

No matter how apartheid was bad, the whites did a pretty good job developing many province in south Africa to first world infrastructure . . . . they are not fully their just yet but they are miles ahead many many african countries . . . . . my first visit to Johannesburg, pretoria, Durban and co . . .
i was more than humbled and when u here some uninformed folks screaming online that "wetin dey South Africa sef" (derogatory tone) . . . i cannot but smh and pity the pinnacle of their ignorance . . . .

Having looked at the many intricate issues that brought about the Nigeria State and how we have faired thus far . . . . .i personally feel going back to a regional system of government will be most ideal moving forward . . . . .

Am nearly sure even if we cannot fully catch our glorious past we can lay a better future moving forward, a country so dependent on a micro income going all out to run a federal system of government ain't ideal in my books . . . . . the whole funds being budgeted to run 36 states governments, the executive, judiciary and houses of assembly is insane, then they have the overheads of all their state ministries/commissioners, then they have as usual her over bloated civil service and non tax generating or tax remitting local government councils before they even think of setting aside money for capital project all from this mono economy we run . . . . . all this fundamentals and more will only continue to perpetuate poverty across the land.

We certainly have a long road ahead and i do sincerely pray with me hand on my chest that some how any how Buhari and co gets it right and folks like Fayemi bring home some serious bacon from the ministry of solid minerals which he heads . . . . .South africa are where they are today mostly from revenue from solid minerals gotten from their soil ditto to Australia as well . . . . . . and we do have loads of un mined solid minerals untapped all over the country.

We really need new money or wealth to supplement what we have now before we can move forward and hopeful build. a prosperous future for our kids

I agree. Better late than never.

I heard that it's going to take Nigeria 58+ years to get adequate number of doctors for Nigerians [population], 50+ years to clean ogoniland, 50 years before oil runs out.

Even if it takes Yorubaland 60+ years to attain its glory, it's better late than never.

Katsumoto, I disagree with your opinion that regionalism isn't the key. It may not be the key, but it is the holy grail.

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by interloper(m): 5:25am On Nov 22, 2015
In my hard long term and short term view, going the regional way in SW we really have nothing to freight about . . . . .we will turn out well no matter how they dice or marinate the whole thing as long as we have a unity of purpose and agree in one accord on a template for moving us forward.

Why the guys in DAWN should be given all the help in terms of idea generation, a working template deviod of red tape and many practicable tit bits to kick start the economy of SW. As it stands now despite our chequered history as a country, if we are to take a backward walkthrough of our economic development, the SW of Nigeria has always being a haven for both national and international inward investment, we gat the land, sea, air, human capital and all the indices to excel.

Pardon my guys if i get to mention a few countries in my narratives out here, not cos am trying to brag but every country i ever travelled to i tend to wanna hang out with the locals and ask them deep seated questions about their national journey and what has made them work just fine or not and perhaps learn something new and with this information i play around with mental ideas how beneficial this could be if we/Nigeria take that route cos nothing we are going thru which no other country have not gone thru during the course of the development in one sharp or the other . . . . .

Now to me point . . . . .whilst in india, despite the many calamitous stories you hear about india and we see on the telly and hear about . . . .they have over the years managed to run a very enviable democracy and economy, fair enough populations is circa 1.2 billion people and about 300 million of her citizenry are considered poor as in very poor . . . . . lets not get hung up on that figure just yet, but the foreign direct investment to that country is in the region of 22billion US$ and their IT/Business processing outsourcing industries generates another double digits billions of dollar for them and mind you? they have the largest oil refinery complex in the whole world but yet don't have a drop of crude oil in their terrestrial space but we ? (another gist cos with all our crude oil no real functional refinery)

The society is equally diverse, multi ethnic, multi religion and all the multi u can ever think of lol. . . . . but they have being able to attract this many inward investment especially in Information Technology and manufacturing in particular. Bangalore is a city in the State of Kanataka in the southern part of india and she's actually considered as the silicon valley of india.

Out there in Bangalore virtually every world technology company have a massive presence there, not just an office block but something akin to a company campus office . . . name them? be it Oracle, KPMG, DELL, Microsoft, Adobe the whole works are fully on ground and their works force always in excess of thousands of people, serious employment engines.

And how were they able to clinch all this fabulous companies and creating employment for themselves?! EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION!! . . . . .

if we don't invest heavily in education we will continue to lag behind in attracting world class investors to our country, we can easily achieve that on a regional government level and reap the full benefit as well without the over bearing burden of the rest of the country and sharing all our revenue with every tom dick harry and jones.

Why i feel if their is anything that we should get up and do ASAP is to perhaps declare a state of emergency in the educational sectors in SW esp the public schools. . . . . not just pour money but offload money into that area of our society and God knows in no distant future we will reap the full benefits, once the word goes out there that our students are well trained and employable immediately after college at a fraction of what they are paying somewhere else in other climes. it will definitely help mop up our army of unemployed youths in SW.

Cos i have asked myself many times over what magic did this indians do that they were able to corner all this multinational companies to themselves despite their 3rd world infrastructure on so many levels, chaotic driving culture, heavily accented english, some areas of the cities are still stuck in medieval indian with cows/oxen roaming the metropolis, the multi religious make up of their society but all this never deterred would be international investors/companies from setting up shop out there . . . . .?

I certainly agree with many posters before me that the SW governors are dozing behind the wheel of governance of their respective states, i know they are trying but? their are still many levels they can try hardiest and bring home loads of bacons for her people. . . . . . . .

Habeeb Fasinro is now the President of Lagos polo club

Where is LEDB today?


Thats the son or grandson.

LEDB has been folded into LSDPC.

My brother, aye Ibo oni suwon! We have no clue how bad our situation is today until you go back and read the promises ahead for us in the 40s, 50s and 60s. Ibo did coup and fvckd everything up when they installed military as the new order of power and supremacy in this country. Ko baje fun Ibo.

Look, I discovered that Tinubu is actually reliving Awolowo's style of leadership. The crop of leadership and grooming he got going now was a fast track development plan first introduced by Awo. This is what produced the synergy of developments in Ilupeju, Ikeja, Apapa, and so on.

The government houses in Shitta and Akerele and Adeniran Ogunsanya were relocations from Lagos Island. There was overcrowding in Island and lack of proper ventilation and planning led to a plague in the 30s. This is what gave birth to LEDB and Wole Wole (health inspectors) under a Lagos Local Govt Act. They are municipal projects and therefore Lagos Town Council got involved to decongest and depopulate central Lagos.....Oko Awo to be precise!

The settlers in Shitta and Akerele were transits from Lagos Island.

When military got power, they mismanaged lands and destroyed plans and forecasted development goals that were on the table in West. They stalled our progress so others can catch up.

50Yrs going mothfckrs have not even sighted our heels not to talk of catchup....and everytime we attempt to fast track forward we step on thorns spread in our path to force us into perpetual slooowww mmoootiooonnn!! grin grin
