She calls the shot at HOME not in the state.

She has power in her kitchen and not the governor's kitchen cabinet!!!

I hope you get that.

We voted for the governor NOT HIS WIFE!!!!

MetaPhysical:
Very accurate, insightful and penetrating!

God bless you!

We critique Kwara but every Yoruba that ever governed Kwara had a Yoruba First Lady....and charmingly beautiful and pretty!

On a different thread few days ago pertaining vulnerability I wrote that we are already under internal exploitation. Our state of perpetual intoxication has dome damage and shut off valves necessary for awareness on self-preservation. We are being exploited and we dont even know it.....either that or we choose to ignore the reality because of a fantastic belief that our homeland is an extension of Europe and through us, the sophisticated specie, the ideals of the democratic European for a liberal society must manifest...in gaddem middle of Africa!

If you are blind, yes, vote in anything.

Behind every successful man there's a woman.that governor you gave your most cherished vote has a back up,a confidant,who built his confidence.that's a woman.IGBO Women has that midas touch.

MetaPhysical:
Let us support Yoruba women and their spouse into Govt House. In every region of the country the woman in First Lady position is a daughter of the soil, not foreigner. Why can't Yoruba woman be First Lady in her own region?

When you make women of other regions your First Lady you also authorize to them a privilege to bring in and employ, above you, people of other region into your govt.

Yoruba may be sophisticated but Nigeria is crude. You bring crudeness into Yoruba government as we see happening in Ondo. Learn from this and do the right thing going forward.

Vote Yoruba woman as First Lady!

Hope you've started an APC grassroot awareness campaign ma?

The Yoruba nation,after the north is one of Nigeria's greatest problem. It was the Yoruba nation, through Awolowo that introduced the tribal politics before independence that is plaguing the nation till date
The Yoruba nation, has no respect and regards for other tribes in their midst, the constant fight and lost of lives between them and the Hausa community in shagamu in Ogun state, Ajegunle, Orile Igamu, Mile 12, in Lagos state an example.
Why should it be a problem, to have a non Yoruba woman as first lady ,when Jumoke, Muritala Mohammed was once Nigeria first lady?
When Gabriel Susan's wife as a Yoruba woman was First lady in Benue State for 8yrs, it was Ok,.
Emeka Anyaoku has a Yoruba woman as wife and enjoyed al the pecks that followed the office of her husband, as Commonwealth Secretary General, it was Ok.
Lots of Nigerians, in very high positions today, married from the yoruba nation , enjoying the privileges of the positions of their husbands, heavens never fell, 3 uncles of mine, married from the yoruba nation, enjoying the benefits due to them as married woman in my place, heaven never fell. Lulu Fawehimmi, appointed Special Assistant to a governor in Igbo land, no noise was heard
Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu, appointing an Igbo lady as an assistant, courtesy of his wife, hell is being let loosed, Yoruba why?

There's no way an igbo man with Yoruba wife will be anywhere near any govt house in Igboland let alone be a second lady! Igbos always find out about their politicians before hand and campaign vigorously against the one who is not married to "their sister" but mumu Yoruba will laugh uncontrollably while the best of their land is being carted away.

People who don't preserve their own and put their own first can't love others and there's nothing sophisticated about it, it's stone cold fear of cowards.

[quote author=BabaRamota1980 post=90208418]In yanminri land, an Enugu person is not qualified to represent Anambra in senate, there will be war . A catholic bishop from Oraifite cannot be appointed deacon in orlu, there will be intercommunal war that will escalate all way to vatican. An Nnewi man will not be accepted over Enugu man as VC in UNN. Yoruba wake the fvk up! What kind of books and degrees has turned us to mumu so that we now make Ibo a queen over our own Yoruba women? Which degree be dis one? Na so academic degree supposed to be?

[[s]quote author=FortuneDeGreat post=90218909]Reason straight and listen to yourself, if you fall in love and probably get married to an Hausa lady and after many years of blissful marriage you now decide to venture into politics, if peradventure you contest and win a governor's position, would that become an automatic divorce or relegation to your hitherto loved wife?
Where were those tribe's women when you were suffering and building up with your foreign wife?
Think and think again, and for once reason like a normal human.[/s]

[s]Thread is a campaign to make Yorubawoman FirstLady in her land.

This thread is not stopping Yoruba to marry his choice.

When I need to campaign against inter tribal union I will open a thread for you to comment on. Wait for that thread[s].

FortuneDeGreat:
You lack simple understanding, what's the basis of your argument?
If someone is married to one wife and the happens to be from another tribe and along the line the person becomes a governor, so you would advise the man to get another wife from Yoruba to become the first lady or maybe go into contract with a random woman to serve as the first lady.
For you, against all odds, a Yoruba woman must be the first lady in all the Yoruba states. What a pathetic assertion.

DCatt:
Who critique Kwara?

Or maybe the dressing especially the hat, I hate seeing Yoruba in that.

The best and most courageous Yoruba are from Kwara!

Ilorin Chief Imam, Aduranigba is the only man with balls in Yorubaland. I would have loved to marry a man like that and be wife number 15, and he's not bad looking either! 99% Yoruba men are like imbecillles compared to him.

I'm a "Christian" but Christians are the most dangerous to Yorubaland and have done the most damage to the Yorubaland. Traditionalists and some Muslims are the people still holding Yorubaland together. As far as Yoruba evangelicals and Muric are concerned, Yorubaland should be auctioned off to Fulani and Igbos. These two sides of the same coins put other people's interest above that of Yoruba.

MetaPhysical:
You are narrow in your exchange with the focus of this thread. If your experience locks you in and the association of Yorubawoman as FirstLady in Yorubaland is too complex for you not to see it as anything but a condemnation of inter-tribal marriage, perharps you need to wait for a more fitting thread in which your stereotypes can find field for expression.

I already told you to wait for such thread.

Babaramo, how you see her front?

It is Mrs Akeredolu by the way, her maiden name is Anyanwu. She is Ibo married to Yoruba. Yoruuba dont bear Anyanwu so she can be Miss Anyanwu but not Mrs Anyanwu.

I said this in another thread earlier what you just said, we have wrong expectations in Ondo. We didnt want Tinubu to influence Ondo politics....but here is Ms Anyanwu, influencing Ondo politics from Imo State. I agree with you, our Ondo brothers are weak! Lets give support and hope they correct this error very soon.

SamNaijaboy:
mixed feelings.
I don't agree that politicians should be judged by their wives'tribe. Love is a mysterious thing.
Oyo's Makinde made his money in PH while married to their SS daughter. He may not be a billionaire, and hence governor, without her.
However, that said, note that no uproar has been made about her in Ibadan, because somehow although her family must be benefiting from the purse and contracts, they are smart enough not to make it obvious and the woman is not acting like a vice-governor.
The Benue governor with a Yoruba wife must have settled her people, but trust Yorubas to quietly chop and clean mouth.
Akeredolu's case is different since he seems to be so weak that he allows his Igbo wife to go around like a Vice-governor to the extent that it is common knowledge. Imo non-resident made Gov SA etc. when there are several educated Ondo indegenes unemployed. So much that the deputy governor is pissed off and wants out!
Therefore we can trace it either to Akeredolu personally who is weak and wife is older than, so controls him.
Or we can say it's because the wife is Igbo and try to see if that domineering trait is common to her people.
Most people that have contact with Igbo will say it is probably a bit of both. Always trying to take what belongs to others.
To this end, Akeredolu's case must be treated as a one-off. He needs to be sent packing to preserve the integrity and honor of the position and also the theft of Ondo State funds by his Igbo in-laws.
Sad because he seems to have good ideas.

About the debate about Igbo ladies dominating Yoruba men who are married to them?
All I see is that Igbo ladies try to dominate their own men too. They seem to have too much testosterone (with the hairy chest and faces, LOL). Hence a lot of physical battery and domestic violence in the SE with their men trying to keep them dominated). Just go through the reports even here on Nairaland.
Yoruba men, mostly educated and in white colar jobs, find it less enticing to engage in the type of physical battles and roforofo verbal fights that Igbo women get into. So may let them have their way more.
THIS is the attraction that Igbo women have for Yoruba men, in addition to inheriting from their husbands like they can in Yoruba land.
THIS is why Igbo women deliberately target Yoruba men. In my anecdotal experience from surveys with Yoruba friends, Igbo girls don't even bother trying to play hard to get. They drop their pants immediately at the sight of a Yoruba guy they want. Yoruba girls will still be forming while they have screwed their men. That's why more Yoruba MEN marry Igbo women daily.

However there is a dark side to this that I want every Yoruba man to know. They are mostly interested in your money and assurance to get it after you die, and your reputation not to be quarrelsome and not tended to physical battery.

That's why if you are living abroad, Igbo women will do all they can to screw your brains out when you visit. Then, they prefer their own Igbo men because they know their interests are covered and can deal with their men badly once abroad. Then the fear of not inheriting and physical abuse is not there as they are in the West. Remember they are mostly more uncouth (disrespectful) than Yoruba girls.
When you marry one as a Yoruba man abroad and bring her abroad, they will deal with you the same way. They are mostly after what they can get from you-green card and assurance of your properties.

na to carry big koboko dey wait for you at Onitsha head bridge. Se if you come become governor, my sister will not be first lady eh Metaphysical, make I ask you . So you go marry a Yoruba woman to be your first lady ba

MetaPhysical:
Very good, solid input!

This does not in any way negate the need to have Yorubawomen as Firstlady in Yorubaland.

The example you gave of Suswan is an exception, not the rule.

In Yorubaland, as you precisely stated here, it is no longer an exception but gradually becoming the rule.

What sort of future do you propose for the Yorubawoman, what's her stake and reward in the most privileged position of political power in the homeland?

adadike:
yes, we are greedy. No one forced your father's and grand father's to sell land to us. No one asked Yoruba men to be lazy and not hard working . No one asked Yoruba men not to be ambitious. A wise man once said, a Yoruba man sees his village as his world but an Igbo man sees the world as his village. Finally, keep to your contentment while I keep to my greediness

Yeah, bla bla bla........ Na only you ibos dey hardworking. Na only una dey ambitious, ba?
