I understand you are trying to defend your people and I don't really understand why you are using the term West instead of just saying Lagos,I care less what they play in Ibadan or Ekiti etc I am talking about lagos which is the melting point of All tribes in Nigeria,and now the unofficial music Capital of Nigeria
Not only the yorubas reside in Lagos,there are others even Owerri that isn't as diverse as lagos have a two hour programs on zanders fm where people call in speaking only Yoruba and requesting Yoruba music
chill not every time tribalism

Still you're not getting it.
1. why shouldn't I mention other places?
there are also non indigenes in other south west states. And When I mean the west, I'm not singling out any state, we don't discriminate here so, that's why a Yoruba man will mostly have root up to 3 - 4 SW states.

2. This isn't tribalism, but we are starting out fact, West is still the regions that appoint and select people to show their talent and skills and intellect irrespective of your tribe.
So we hate when one efulefu like phyno saying we're not accommodating enough, what else does he want us to do?
Is it not Enugu governor that asked them to go to their state during End SARS protests.
something that can never happen here.

3. Everything isn't tribalism but you guys started it.
I also remember when one efulefu igbo guy saying Yorubas has overtaken the Movie industry on instagram

AmuDimpka:
I didn't see and I haven't seen any king in North, when I mean king I mean top notch kings visiting citizens

You can't see these kings or even Oba of Benin go visiting people in Benin ... The people visit the king

Well , maybe the yoruba kings have a different approach

I can't say for Benin

but North. many times.

Sanusi lamido sanusi
sultan of sokoto.

https://www.nairaland.com/3572044/abdulsalami-sultan-sokoto-kukah-meet/1

Many times Sanusi visited El rufai

AmuDimpka:
ejoor emabinu .. where is the fan base

Mostly Lagosians.

AmuDimpka:
Only in Yoruba land I do see this .. I must be frank

It's only in Yoruba land that kings go visiting citizens ... The british queen don't go visiting david beckham or do the japanese king go visiting shinzu abbey, it is the other way round


You cannot see the obi of Onitsha, The Eze of Nri go visit individual

You can't see the Emir of Kano, Sultan of Sokoto go visit Jega or anyone ... It's the other way round

Well, I know that the sophisticated ones would come up with explanations though


I wait to read it ... Maybe I would learn

Well they do, I don't know of Nri or whatever, Emir of Kano and sultan visits politicians wella.

didn't you check the front page where one of the northern traditional rulers visited Enugu governor?
Anyways, visit varies, it could be assurance of something, maybe peace and progress of the Yorubas nation.

Mefor, apart from this, had called for a change of approach and attitude among IPOB members but his appeals were met with verbal Assaults from members of his group.

Kanu / IPOB made a mistake here.
The Me for guy is correct.

They are already turning it to a East vs West thing,Yoruba people no dey [quote author=agadez007 post=96341548]CAPITAL M U M U
you don't even get what I was saying but you just jumped on my mention to get cheap likes

Here is nairaland where there is freedom of speech, I can decide to quote you if I wish.
BTW, will likes increase my account balance

anyways, I quote you because your statement is incoherent.

agadez007:
They are already turning it to a East vs West thing,Yoruba people no dey ever tire for Tribalism
I believe some months back,Mc galaxy(From Akwa ibom) complained bitterly of the same thing even Erigga (the king of warri) too,having Lived in the West I come to realise they don't want to hear any music from any part of the nation only those ones done in Yoruba language,in Igbo land we don't discriminate against any music as we believe that music is a universal language

Back then in Igbo land,Places like Onitsha,aba and enugu were like the music mecca of those days,people came from Ghana and even Cameroon to form bands and perform in their local dialects and we loved them for them
Most people may not know that the sweet mother crooner Prince Nico mbarga is actually Cameroonian but grew up in the east
My dad still has a collection of Ghana music till today even when he dont understand anything

Is this not the rubbish you split out?
And pls, what are you trying to say? you splits nonsense that we don't want to here any other music apart from Yoruba music.
And plz, Psquare, phyno, chindima, tekno

Are they singing in Yoruba? how come they blow in South west?

You make a nonsense statement that you guys don't discriminate in music. and I ask, do you have Hausa music on your phone?
or how many of your relatives living in the east understand Yoruba talkless of listening to the likes of naira Marley.

The truth is, if naira Marley, Olamide, Zlantan that do sing purely in Yoruba could blow in South west and Phyno and the likes can't blow in the East, it means the West is where the market is.

Always put on your thinking cap, when typing on the cyberspace

Lol, I found this funny.

purplekayc:
evidently you've have not traveled there before

Is like you don't know the sarcasm of simplyleo

Fahdiga:
Don't worry I will soon expose all your bigotry for the world to see

Lol, try to mention me whenever you do and remember to tell me your state.

You're an illiterate sir.
Can you pls forward any of your family numbers that is living in the east to me.
let me send naira Marley song to them if they will understand.

So we shouldn't listen songs in Yoruba because of you guys?
If west isn't comfortable then go to East nah, west didn't force you to come and start your career here.
How many Hausa songs do you have on your phone?

You guys are full of envy and hate
West is the only region that don't discriminate and accept all tribes.
You can prove me wrong. We should debate on it.
Music
Education
Movies
politics
services
etc


You could as well, ask us to forget about our culture.

Fahdiga:
Are you one of them

Yes, I'm from the west. care to explain.

illicit:
Hmmmm they want to use style to takeover/overthrow west....

It's not possible, because every region has what they're good at.
Just as you can't overthrown Igbos and Edos in Christian songs.

You can't overthrown the Benues in agriculture

you can't overthrown the west in Artisan, Music and religion.

Fahdiga:
Those indigenes in the west are the most selfish human being I've ever seen

And pls, tell me how.
care to explain

Juliusmalema:
@bolded, I have to agree with you. He just finished smoking thailand.


The basis of such submission is totally useless bearing in mind his wraps in Igbo and nearly those who understands him patronises and markets him aside beats which might even prompt someone who doesn't understand to enjoy the music.

True, just like most of you Igbos can't understand Naira maley, Zlantan, Olamide songs.
But they rank in millions, they've blown self.

But if an artist is blown in the West, then he automatically gets blown all across Nigeria.

Population factor I guess.

He's not serious I don't even understand him.

and that the West should try to find a way to accommodate the Easterners such that they can get blown easily by accepting their music better.

And what does he mean here
Don't we accommodate Easterners than the way Easterners accommodate westerners?

And we don't discriminate in west, once your music is good, you'll be accepted.

Only a Yoruba man will understand the importance of Music and Religion (all types of religion) in our lives, because it's part and parcel of our culture. We modified and reincarnate Music and Religion

MadamExcellency:
Which post between Chief Whip and Minority leader is higher in Office in Nigeria?

Chief whip nah

minority leader is the leader of the opposition.

Nigeriabiafra80:
Can you tell me one impact those advisers has make
Starting from
Lekki massacre
Recession
Boko haram
Or is visiting aso rock now an achievement to our so called igbo representatives,
People that lack power to implement or execute any job
Yet they are the best when it comes in education
And what is needed from them is advise that President can veto
Is that a position?

Well, they don't have that much power, those that have much more power are ministers, President, vice president, Chief of staff, SGF, Anthony general etc.

But then, we have Igbos in the ministry nah.
Do you expect an aboki to put Igbo man as Chief of staff?
even you yourself, you can't put a Fulani man as a chief of staff.

Nigeriabiafra80:
Bringing list of inconsequential people in buhari administration as igbos is laughable
It didn’t equate development
They are into powerless/non decision making position
If he so much trust them what happened to CSOs are they not good enough for that position ?after all they are many igbos in Lagos state government like commission of gutter,joe igbokwe

Actually Special assistant, senior assistant etx.

ain't inconsequential post.
If you've have opportunity to visit Aso Rock. it's a state on its own.

Charleys:
Please remove that mall, a mall is not a tourist destination, I don't know but to me, I see malls as place where you go to buy things and or spend money.
Not a place to go get experience.

well, perhaps you're right

techmo:

When this guys talk I just laugh especially when decieving people who don't travel

IamFINESSE:

Amotolongbo:
Not geographical expression really.

It is more of politics.
One can’t really explain many political decisions made

Well I think the term north still suit her.

The amount of rainfall, the wind, sunlight, and everything botanical about her does not fit into South

In Oyo state only there are many tourists sites.
Not to talk of Ondo, Ekiti, Osun.

Well we're patronising it.
I'll be in IB this December

Agodi gardens
IITA mountain reserve
Oke Ado mountain
Mapo hall
National mesuem of Unity
Fun factory
ibadan cultural center
Ventura mall or palms mall
Trans-wonderland park... etc

all in Oyo state

SaintBishop:
Can a yoruba pathetic, weakling like you survive in the creeks? Just thinking out loud.

Why would I be living in the creeks

AwkaFinest:
This is about South South, not NDDC that includes Abia, Imo and Ondo states.

No difference. (cos it's an avenue to chop money)
The bill should be rejected.

And they should scrap NDDC and NEDC

technicallyrich:
you are a koward ansna big fol.
I m an ijaw man and I m pro ss and se.
I have no time for a koward like you.

Elvictor:
Yoruba are hypocrites we are waiting for them 2023, they will never get to that centre till thou kingdom come, Obasanjo has done all their tenure.

Lol, and it was the same Yorubas that voted for GoodLuck in 2011
it was the same Yorubas that fought for GoodLuck when the cabals wanna wage war against him in 2007.

We don't even benefit anything from you guys.

Elvictor:
it seem like you don't know what Obasanjo has done, do you know that Obasanjo was the one who pass the law that FG should have control of all resources? I should leave Yoruba race out of it? when he gave Lagos the power to control all their resources during his reign, I should leave Yoruba race out of it when they were using their media to change the narrative of Niger Delta struggles and paint us in bad light?

You're not Okay.

An Edo and a Delta man owns 3 of some major medias in these country.

Too much lies on this thread.
