[quote author=Negro_Ntns]There are only two religions in Yorubaland - Christianity and Islam. If you are Yoruba then you are evrrything that the race is, including Ifa, which is Yoruba belief system. It is mute point to call oneself Yoruba and say im a traditionalist.[/quote]Stop lying there is no reward on here . The "pagan" guy that commented here is yoruba and does not affiliate with christianity or islam. Go to cultural section on NL and then you will learn few stuff about Ifa worshippers.

engineerd: When Lagos is bombed...(I believe its a matter of when and not IF), i just pray the OPC uses the opportunity to rid the SW of the filth from the east....

It aint gonna happen. Forget the Internet blah blah and mockery...Yorubas and igbos are relatively in peace. Have you seen an exposed yoruba man thay does not have an igbo friend? Give us your facebook id lets check your friends on there.

Majority of yoruba muslims are moderate and peace loving unlike the northerners that derive fun killing any southerner for a caricature cartoon of mohammed drawn far away demark. Its unfortune thou that few of them have joined Boko Haram in rush for 72 virgins.

Tinubu goofed though. A well respected emir in Northern Nigeria disagreed with the amnesty bull crap for people that don't have respect for others yet few politicians in our midst are calling for amnesty for terrorist. Its about time Africans abandon foreign religion and stick to traditional deity. Attacking Lagos will directly and indirectly affect us all. Reduce the amount of mosque in Lagos and terrorist won't have a safe nest. Enough of tribal mocking, Boko Haram should not be given any form of amnesty and Sovereign National Conference should be embraced by any upward thinking southerner and not Another Problem Coming (APC).

ewet: HAH LAGOS KE? MOGBE OOOOO!This is shocking.What is the govt doing abt our porous borders and effective profiling of this illegal immigrants. We hav got loads of chadians and Nigerians(NIGER) in my area in Agege,Lagos and i am really beginning to get scared. Only if we had a serious govt,by now we suld have had enuf data abt this people,where thy live and wht they do particularly in a place like lagos where evry1 knows pretty much evrybody and nobody can really live in isolation.
I implore evry lagosian to be vigilant and provide info on any suspicious individual.I am really quaking in my boots right now.

They are like magnet. The last time I came visiting Lagos I could not sleep because of sound coming out from a nearby mosque. Abandon their religion and they wont see your region as a safe haven.

Why crying? This are APC members that came for their party convention in Lagos. I hope e-warriors like geez will start oiling his AR15 to prevent jamming incase Lagos Population is threstened? I won't be surprised the chameleon will start claiming Ekiti state or some where closer to Benin republic. Only an imbecil.e will assume Lagos is a safe place. Terrorism thrive in area that have high population of Mosque and Lagos is not excluded. A strike in Lagos will speedy up 2015 prediction but I hope it does not occur cos Lagos is a melting point for all Nigerians.

ichidodo: Anytime i want to get 'likes' in here i just bash u and dayokanu showing how ure reputation has nosedived in nairaland, my heart goes to the innocent yorubas whose image you have successfully and erroneously tarnished as the most tribalistic people in Nigeria as a result of your rantings. What can i say but ride on, i dey laff o!

Not all Yorubas are devil's advocate. I would not despise them but will never rely on them when push comes to shove though. I may mock some of them but that does not mean I can not be friends with them. Exposed ones among them are like able .

Akson man: [size=13pt]Let all Nigerians know this:

The true intention of Boko Haram and their core Northern sponsors is to bring GEJ to the negotiating table where he agrees to drop his second term ambition and a Northern muslim takes over in 2015. Full stop.

Unfortunately,GEJ (through Obj) have realized that the existence of Boko Haram in the North is a blessing in disguise for his political ambitions.As the North remains divided- The Christian Northerners who constitute over 40% of the North's population will never vote for a core Northern muslim. In 2015,if GEJ gets block votes from the Christian middle-belt,South east,South-south and parts of the South-west,he wins.

The international powers led by the US and UK want Northerners to lead Nigeria because they see them as loyal while the more educated South are stubborn. The Petroleum Industry Bill and Local content law being pushed by Southern Nigeria is one of the numerous reasons they want a reversal of Nigeria's power structure in favour of the core North.

But the truth is that as it is now,the core North is suicidal,thanks to their leaders who just cannot mobilize majority of their citizens into embracing education and modernity.

God help us.[/size]

I hate to say this but you are absolutely right. The Brit are the ones pushing for the change of power

solopumpy227: These are old strategies. Most Yoruba families have Christians and Moslems as siblings/spouses you cannot start rancour among them with religion.

Lagos is a cosmopiltan state with most inhabitants lettered. I can assure you that if in 2015 the best Gov candidate still happens to be a Moslem they will vote him/her again.

You cannot force your religiuos beliefs on others.

I agree with your statement. I sometimes wonder how most family members get along even though they practice different faith. I is applaud able though but with the rise of global Islamic fanatics I hope this mutual respect for one another does not fade. A close friend of mine is a Yoruba Muslim and his elder sister is a Christian while her husband is a Muslim. Northerners should learn from this

achi4u: hahaha
I know you won't mention SW...the lil livered

I didn't mention a name oh.......lol
I just hate terrorist, religious fanatics and their apologist.

North Nigeria? Lol.......jk

Gamji007: What kind of yeye liar are you? Why must you lie to prove your point?

Mtcheeew!

If I am lying, what are your brothers fighting for? Are they fighting for equality in education or jobs? I visited NNPC office in Abuja few months ago and it was as if I was in Hausa land.

thelastPope: You are talking like a 2 year old. Differentiate who from who? Innocent BH from criminal BH? You must be high on something. How can any BH be innocent? What on earth does that mean? How can a terrorist be innocent. Some of you dont just know where to draw the line between politics and patriotism. This desperate crave for power at the center is what might eventually destroy everything. Just keep at it and you might have what you wish for. Tinubu might end up as the president of south west Nigeria!

I doubt if Republic of Odua will vote in Tinubu as their president. Awo loyalist don't like him and over OBJs dead body he will call him " your excellency". NURTW will have their own political party and they may likely have their own interest in the presidency. Aboki would like to interfere by imposing a Kwara born northerner too.

mu2sa2: Hypocrisy at its worst. Are they saying they only guarantee violence? But violence in the east against few hausas their will be unwise becos it will provoke counter reaction in the north where millions of igbo are earning their livelihood. The kano bombing took innocent lives including hausa and igbos, muslims and xtians - ethnicising the casuality is most uncharitable. Fg should takle security challenges facing the country more seriously - that`s the only way forward.

If there is a reprisal attack, it will help expedite the 2015 prediction. Middle Belt, South East and South South will declare their sovereign states then the rest can have their Nigeria and decided their future for themselves. I hate to be seen as some one that hails from terrorist country, enough of this religion madness

In other news, Aboki apologist down south are co signing Amnesty for Boko Haram members. Nigeria is drifting apart and I hope this happens before 2015.

Nigerians celebrate mediocre. Some people are already out here co-signing what their political leader said without weighing his utterance yet they call themselves educated lots. Now tell me what is the difference between them and those young Boko Haram recruits that were promised 72 virgins if they kill innocent civilians via suicide bombing?

geeez: Well whether or not you guarantee peace in your region is not my business but don't ever for one second think you can pull out the smallest hair strand on a Yoruba man, woman, boy or girl's hair in your region and get away with it. Don't ever take our peaceful demeanor for cowardice..Be guided!

Empty drum makes the loudest sound. Fulani herdsmen have been terrorizing travelers in the neck of your wood, how many of them have you slaughtered? Igbos are been careful because their neighbors may vindicate them again.

Dee60: Sorry, I disagree with you. In an amnesty, government dictates the terms. Tinubu is spot on, accurate. FG must ask the young boys (13 million of them or so) that are potential bombers to drop arms and embrace some government offers, like scholarships. If you drop your arms and go to school, you get full pardon, if you continue to take arms you get punished. Do you for one minute think you can use ONLY force to quash a large army of potential BH that live in the north? Dont you know hhow easy it is to convince those young uneducated almajiris to join BH and carry bombs?

Don't be deceived,, northerners get Federal government scholarship to study abroad that are unheard of in southern Nigeria. Most northerners studying abroad are on scholarship, don't fall for their poverty and lack of education scam. I had few Northern friends in college back then that never worked while attending college They benefit more from the system that any other ethnic group in Nigeria.

Tinubu is a politician, he will say what ever his supporters up north wants to hear. If Boko Haram can revive the life of those killed and restore happiness in families of innocent Nigerians killed in Abuja and else where I will be the first to ask FG to grant them amnesty.

A middle-aged man has been caught selling human parts in th[b]e Oke-Opo area of Ilesha in Osun State[/b]. He was apprehended by the Police after tip off by the residents of the area.He was actually caught while dismembering an unknown man.However, it is not known if he finds people, kill them, butcher them then sell their parts or if he digs graves for dead bodies and sell their parts.

The IBB presidency plot • South-West's hidden agenda By AMOS DUNIA, Abuja Sunday, September 19, 2010 Before Wednesday, September 15, many political watchers and self acclaimed pundits had predicted that former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida who is desirous of becoming the president in 2011would eventually back out of the race as he did in 2003 and 2007. However, contrary to the expectation of his withdrawal from the race, Babangida on Wednesday at the Eagle Square in Abuja formally declared his intention to contest the 2011 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before a large crowd of supporters whose magnitude would have baffled the campaign organization of President Goodluck Jonathan. The development came against the backdrop of allegation that the presidency made desperate moves to scuttle the declaration following the marching order that was given to the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party on Monday night to move forward its earlier scheduled National Executive Committee meeting for Thursday to Wednesday to coincide with the planned declaration by Babangida. The idea, it was gathered, was to ensure that PDP NEC members who were expected at the IBB rally would not be able to do so as their attention would be focused at the NEC than the declaration owing to the crucial decisions that were to be adopted at the second highest decision making organ of the party. Sensing the harm the deft move would have caused his carefully planned declaration, the former president was believed to have protested the rescheduling of the PDP NEC which he noted was deliberately skewed to scuttle his programme. Babangida was quoted as having told the PDP leadership that in spite of carefully chosen date and time for his event and having put the party on notice, it would be wrong for the leadership that had promised a level playing field to want to allow itself to be used by equally interested party in the race. Based on the protest, the National Working Committee had to readjust the time by about two hours to enable some interested members of the party to attend the Eagle Square presidential declaration. The event eventually kicked off and attended by some prominent politicians from the South West, South East and states from the northern part of the country where he is expected to have some stronghold. Aside from the open campaigns, General Babangida is believed to be more engaged with quiet and underground campaigns that seem to be achieving better results for him particularly in the South West and South East geo-political zones. For instance, one of the IBB's campaign coordinators in the South West states and who was the coordinator of Afenifere in Europe Otumba Kole Omololu, said that the outcome of the forthcoming PDP Presidential primaries between Babangida and President Jonathan would shock most Nigerians. Omololu further said that contrary to the propaganda against IBB and the use of state apparatus to coerce people, Babangida has greater popularity in the South West. He said that the greatest undoing for the President Jonathan's camp is the belief that former President Olusegun Obasanjo who he said cannot win an election in the South West except through coercion has a hold on delegates from the South West following the attempt to manipulate and coerce South West PDP governors to adopt President Jonathan. This was further confirmed by an aide to one of the PDP governors in the South West who told Saturday Sun that having being forced to adopt President Jonathan in the open, majority of the PDP South West governors merely adopted what he described in Yoruba as; "Demo ni mo wa" which literally translate to; "You can see my hand but certainly not my mind." According to him, the Yoruba people are conscious of the fact that former President Obasanjo has never and cannot do anything for the interest of the Yoruba and not in a position to represent and carry along the South West people genuinely as he would only hide under the pretence of national interest while deep down, it is known that all his actions are usually based on self. The aide to the governor further said that so many people particularly the governors believe that Chief Obasanjo's present support for President Jonathan is to enable him actualize his failed third term in office which was later nailed by late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua who ensured that Obasanjo did not remain as the Executive Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, a development Obasanjo did not find funny. The South governors were believed to have expressed reservation over the fact that Chief Obasanjo merely coerced them into adopting President Jonathan without negotiating anything in return for the South West as required in political horse trading. They equally noted that but for Chief Obasanjo who is the main person urging Jonathan to run, the president would not have wanted to do so given the fact that the dicey issue of zoning was canvassed for by the Southern states and was accepted by the North. It was gathered that a Yoruba group analyzed the two main contestants and arrived at the fact that the administration of President Babangida benefitted the South West than any other government in the country since independence except for the annulment of June 12, 1993 election in which the winner late Chief Moshood Abiola was denied victory. The meeting agreed that during Babangida's era, the West had the most powerful ministers and the Secretary to the Government of the Federat[b]ion. The list included, Chief Olu Falae, Prof. Olikoye Ramsome-Kuti, the Health Minister, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, the Minister for External Affairs as well as Prince Bola Ajibola who served as Attorney General of the Federation [/b]and Minister for Justice. The Yoruba group equally recalled that the South-South people had never agreed to support the South West politically citing the instance of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo that needed the assistance of the Niger Delta people but was not only abandoned but betrayed. Furthermore, the group x-rayed the issue of credible, free and fair elections during which it agreed that if it is to be achieved in the country, President Jonathan as an interested participant in the election cannot guarantee such a desire by Nigerians which they noted is key to the survival of democracy in the country.

dayokanu: Or be a drug mule to Malaysia

Must a Yoruba man k.iss the blood on the tip of an Aboki d.ic.k to get a pass? So all the NADECCO and june 12 struggles ended up been an A.zz K.isser? Abiola and Awo will be spinning in their grave as they watch their kinsmen playing devils advocate. I wish to see a Fashola presidency but hate seeing over night terrorist sympathizers(boko haram). Sovereign National Conference is the only way we will know who are the parasites.

Feed me more:
I'm loving what you dishing out to the dunderhead obnoxious tribalist, who knows nothing about Nigeria politics.

Where is the thumps up when you need them?

Dude can't read and comprehend. He graduated from same Oluwole University in Chicago as Tinubu. At age 40 he still lives in his mum's basement. They appear very ignorant and tribal in every political thread and they hardly know which candidate they are supporting (Zombie). Nothing against Yoruba, I have the exposed one's as close friends I just don't like it when the few impoverished ones on NL and other online blogs play the self righteous card. He is an air head, try giving him advise on how he will better his life, he will insult you....

kingoflag: All you expressed with this dumb post was unbridled hate. Again, bro, u don't make sense.

Spit, run and play dumb. .. I am not surprised, its the usual trait. I am far from been a bigot, I just come here to expose idi.ocy and mock terrorist and their sympathizers. Now kneel down and kis.s my pinky ring, crack head.

kingoflag: Igbo!

Now go ahead, I'm listening. Fool! Does my question accuse all Igbos of being troublemakers, or ask why the present troublemakers in this fiasco are all Igbos?

Dummy!

Uneducated Yoruba bigot, I thought living in gang and drug infested south side Chicago will change a Pig? Stop the hypocrisy if you don't understand Nigerian politics. Same south west leaders you are fighting for will end up at GEJ political dinner party next week. Quit exposing your ignorance on NL. I could smell your Phussy breath from afar.

kingoflag: . You don't make sense.

Feed me more: For all the closet bigot whining about Igbo scuttling their political ambitions and making Nigeria a fail state, tell me - Who has held the country to ransom since it's independence? Who has been ruling the country and taking it into a downward spiral? Who has been amassing the commonwealth of the country? Who annulled June 12 election? Who made a Whole General from the SW go on his knee and cried on live tv? Who owns 80% of the oil blocks? Who are the majority in the Nigeria civil service, Military, customs, etc? Who are the people that says it is either the presidency return to them or they 'll make the Country ungovernalble by creating BH? Who killed Saro- Wiwa? Who killed Dele Giwa? Who killed Harry Marshal? Who killed Bola Ige?

If all the answers to my questions above are not Igbos, it only means one thing - that you are all cowards. You are all afraid to face head on the people holding you in bondage, the people destroying the future of your uborn generation. You see the Igbo's as a lesser foe you can mouth on. Not so fast dear, since you people deny the Igbo's of their political aspiration, they have decides to remain in the cesspit with you all and fight dirty.

What is it your problem? Why are you people afraid of the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy that has held this country to ransom and bent on destroying it with their born to rule mentality? Just thinking aloud...

They are the unofficial spokesmen for Boko Haram southern wing. Their obas were given federal government contracts to kill june 12, Shonekan came out in public to condemn june 12, OBJ said over his dead body that Abiola will become president. Ruben Abati who was ones an apostle for activism is now the spokesman for GEJ. Kudirat Abiola's driver betrayed her for a token, he is from her region. Every master has a slave, I hope you saw how they came out in millions to defend core northern oil cabals? i do not take their fake struggle seriously for they are very conniving and sleaky . Tom ikimi an Abacha hatchet job is now their regional party spokeman, how embarrassing can that be yet they claim to be free of sins.

APC is for Boko Haram sympathizers. They will die a natural death like AD. Those southern leaders supporting the merger will end up in Aso Rock the night before the election to collect their.......
If I am lying ask Ribadu what exactly happened to him.

obagangan: this land deserve more than wat we are getting, wat is going on wit APC is more than just few names,
its about all of us, wat we feel, want, needs,do we thing we need a change in at the federal level?
some ppl have started to fight for this change. is either we suport orwe dont

Politics in Nigeria is a sham. No permanent friend or enemy. If you were told that the subsidy demonstration was sponsored by those that were been accused for stealing the nations common wealth, would you agree? Merging with APC was a political suicide.

Politics is a game of chess, if you can't go hard go home. Same mull that betrayed Ribadu after visiting Aso Rock to collect his brown envelope will be the same mull that will betray Buhari again. They claim to be angry with Abacha yet they made his spokesman their national leader .
