When you hate someone, you will never see the good side of that individual. I won't argue with you because I know you hate the Saraki's so much so bye bye

Lol, I'm not even from kwara state but I know kwara state like the back of my palm.
From entrance at Erin Ile to Ajase to Omuaran / Isin back to ilorin to jebba.

I just hate how the Sarakis families looted the state dry

AnanseK:
Olusola Saraki was never a governor of Kwara State . He was a Senator and Senators had not yet learned to steal in his days.

Lol, he was an apex governor, I know.
He selects figure head governors but he's the one controlling the state.

olasaad:
And what is the different between Kwara and others. They are all the same so they kill yourself with hate over Nigeria politicians

Kwara can't even Lace Ekiti state not to talk of Osun state.

Look at your Central mosque in ilorin, see the stupid roads around it with market, look at Offa your largest town after ilorin, did you see any road with dual carriage?

Muhammad Lawal is the only governor that did something in that your state.

olasaad:
Congratulations Baba Oloye

Are you happy with the way things are in kwara state, your state?

DeLaRue:
They'll still be naming things after Awolowo in the Southwest in a thousand years.

An unparalleled legend.

Swears.

If I may ask how is Akintola a traitor?

It's no news in Yoruba land that Akintola and remi fani Kayode betrayed Awolowo

Anyways for record keeping

As a result of the 1959 parliamentary elections, the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) from the Northern Region of N...igeria under the leadership of Sir Ahmadu Bello (the Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region) became the country's leading political party with 134 seats out of the 312 seats in the Parliament. National Council of Nigeria and Cameroun (NCNC) based in the Eastern Region of Nigeria under the leadership of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe obtained 89 seats in the same election. Chief Obafemi Awolowo led Action Group (AG) in the West, elected 73 members to the parliament in 1959. The NPC and NCNC (Chief Nnamdi Azikwe's party) coalesced to form the first government of the newly independent Nigeria with Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (the deputy leader of the NCP) as the Nigerian Prime Minister.
Soon after Nigeria got independence the Western region was in turmoil. Premier Ladoke Akintola and Chief Obafemi Awolowo (the federal parliament opposition leader) became embroiled in a protracted crisis. The leadership of the Action Group (AG), which formed the official opposition in the federal parliament, split in May 1962 as a result of the rift between the two party leaders.
The same month (May,1962). the Western House of Assembly was set to remove Chief Akintola after the party had earlier passed a vote of no confidence on the premier in a party meeting, crisis erupted on the floor of the house. The majority expelled Chief Akintola from the party. The then Governor of the Western Region, the Ooni of Ife, Sir Adesoji Aderemi demanded Chief Akintola’s resignation as Premier and named Alhaji Dauda Adegbenro as his successor. Crisis erupted in the Western Nigeria and this earned the region the appellation "Wild Wild West". Abubakar Tafawa Balewa led federal government intervened to curb the violence by imposing a state of emergency and appointed Dr Moses Majekodunmi (the Federal Minister of Health) as Administrator (interim premier of the Western region) on the 29th of June 1962. This became the first imposition of a state of emergency in Nigeria’s history due to heightened levels of violence. Following an alliance between Ladoke Akintola and Ahmadu Bello, Akintola was returned to power on the 31st of December 1962 in spite of protests by Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe who requested fresh elections rather than reinstating Chief Ladoke Akintola.
By 1963, the plot between Chief Ladoke Akintola, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa and Alhaji Ahmadu Bello was perfected and Chief Obafemi Awolowo was arrested for coup plotting/treason. His trial commenced in earnest and he was alongside some accomplices convicted for treason and jailed for 10 years. This again was the first alleged coup plotting and conviction in Nigerian history
Intent on totally decimating Chief Awolowo, Chief Ladoke Akintola together with his Deputy Premier Remi Fani Kayode "Fani-Power" (both of Nigerian National Democratic Party) went into a political alliance with Prime minister Tafawa Balewa's Northern People's Congress (NCP) and new political party known as the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was formed
Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe led NCNC teamed up with incarcerated Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s Action Group (AG), the Northern Progressive Front (NPF), the Kano People's Party (KPP), the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), the United Middle Belt Congress (UMBC) and the Zamfara Commoners Party (ZCP). To form the United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA)
In 1964, federal elections became due. Ethnic chauvinism, intimidation and violence was part of the frenzied campaigning. Chief Remi Fani Kayode and Chief Ladoke Akintola’s campaign was almost entirely based on tribalism. When the elections were finally held, the result was a victory for the Northern People's Congress (NPC), which won 162 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives, whilst the NNA held a total of 198 seats. Indeed Deputy Premier Remi Fani Kayode had famously boasted that “there is nothing they can do, whether they vote us or not, we will win.” This statement turned out to be true as massive rigging was orchestrated in the elections. Once again this became the first pioneering act of election rigging by indigenous actors in Nigeria’s history. The announcement of the rigged election results quickly sparked off unprecedented acts of thuggery, violence, arson, mass murders and general acts of lawlessness in the Western region.
Following the crisis, Dr Nnamidi Azikiwe requested the military GOC to intervene and reorganise the elections in the Western region to avoid catastrophe, but the military high command refused and Dr Azikiwe was briefly held in house arrest for making such a request. Without any resolution and with Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Alhaji Ahmadu Bello as fellow conspirators with Chief Ladoke Akintola and Chief Remi Fani Kayode in the massive election heist, nothing was done to curtail the violence which gradually intensified. Daily mass murders and arson became routine in the Western region (wetie).
In the midst of the constitutional crisis the elections to the Western House of Assembly were conducted on 11 October 1965. The decline in constitutionalism and disorder accelerated with this election. Ironically no state of emergency was declared; instead the Federal government sent security forces to support the victory of Chief Ladoke Akintola and Chief Remi Fani Kayode's NNDP. The violence and lawlessness in the Western region was to continue from 1964 until 1966. It was under these conditions that a section of the military finally struck and overthrew the government on 15 January 1966.
As a result of the 15 January (1966) military coup, which again was Nigeria's first military coup, key government officials and senior military figures including Alhaji Ahmadu Bello (the Premier of the Northern Region), Sir Tafawa Balewa (the Prime Minister), Chief Okotie-Eboh (the Minister of Finance), General Maimalari (the Chief of Army Staff), Brigadier Ademulegun(Commander of the Northern Garrison) Chief Ladoke Akintola (Premier of Western Region) and so many others were killed.

This is quite unnecessary. The stations are better named after the towns hosting them. Everything shouldn't be about politics.

But when he named the other one in warri or so after Jonathan you didn't make this statement.

Kudos to Buhari, at least I could see names like Soyinka, osinbanjo, jakande, Ransome Kuti and our amiable gba gba Chief Obafemi Awolowo A.K.A Asiwaju of Yoruba Land

I hate seeing that Traitor Akintola and the looter that looted kwara state dry with little or no project, Olushola Saraki.
Before you quote me, make sure you have been to kwara state before.
All Sarakis could offer Is the stupid bridge at challenge, general hospital or so.

If we check well, you don't know the road to Ondo or better still haven't been to Ondo before.

Back to the topic.
We know you'll defeat eyitayo because apc will try all means not to lose Ondo.
If it were to be free and fair, Aketi will lose.

I think someone by the moniker bears samuelayanwu or so on this Nairaland.

Nwanyiogwashi:
Cc sammy07 and thatfairguy1 what do you have to. Say about the mushin boy

Well, just as Thatfairguy1 have said, one is an indegine the other is a foreigner.

Mtcheww.
Imagine?
Pls what's stops you to lead your militants boys and bomb NDDC headquarters
If not because he's also eating crumbs.

micflo28:
please don't allow these politicians to take advantage of it just like they did to crude oil in Niger Delta. They must hugely compensate you guys before extracting it from your land to take away. Niger Delta is must be regretting why they traded their inheritance for cheap promises.

Honestly.
Tho I'm not against them taking advantage of it, because it's South West that owns the company, but I hope they make use of it.
And develop the local governments they are taking it from.

I'm not sure, if the company is in partnership with Development agenda of western Nigeria (A commission set to develop southwest by Afenifere in partnership with South west governors)

If it's from DAWN, I know they'll make use of it.

bizzibodi:
So U just play with it,U dnt use it for anything?That is black gold.

Primary school days, we don't know anything then

micflo28:
Wow really

Swears that was in my primary school days.

It's very plenty.
Ask any Ondo indigenes here (esp Ondo central and Ondo North)

My fear is just that, our land shouldn't be destroyed like that of Niger delta.

Bitumen wey we usually play with In Ondo

You can't dig 3ft before seeing it

OFFICIAL336:
Yoruba is an Hausa name. There is no tribe known as Yoruba prior to the 18th century.

Aworis, Egun, Ijebu are not yorubas. You can kee yaself

My mom is ijebu, dad is Ondo.
we reside in Ondo.

So Ijebus are not Yorubas?

OFFICIAL336:
By marriage not by birth. We know where Yoruba land starts and ends, and Lagos is never part of that.

lol, Okay go and redrew the map.
I don't even have anything to say, continue wallowing in what you believe

bobowaja:
He should add Ekiti, Akoko, Ijesha, Egba etc to that list. Since it is not named Ekiti Yoruba or Akoko Yoruba then it is not Yoruba. These people logics beats me. So wack.

Nah Apku full him brain

RenaissanceGuy:
If there's a development commission for the south West, it should be Lagos State Devt Commission, at least it's our naval gateway for import and export. What are the other five states contributing - nothing!

to add to the few point I made above.

Border.

Do you know how much Fg generates from Ogun and Oyo borders?

I repeat your brain is full of akpu

RenaissanceGuy:
Because our crude oil passes through Lagos waterways, the whole SW should have a Devt Comm?

Why should SE wants developent comm?

Cherez:
Lol
You just have limited knowledge that's the truth.
The Awori, Ijebus, Ife, Okun, "Modakeke", etc all amke up the Yoruba nation

I don't dispute that, and they are still Yoruba Ethnic group.

flokii:
If we contribute over 65% of Federal revenue, we deserve percentage from that money to develop our lands. Not taking money away from SW to develop other regions that contribute next to nothing.

You're correct, the Yoruba reps will do something.

Trust them.
They can just bring up another thing entirely which shock them

flokii:
Ceteris paribus, South West ought to have a SWDC even before NDDC because we contribute most to this nation. If NE and now SE that contribute least to governmemt purse can have Development commissions, nothing stops SW from getting one.
Yorubas too dey fall my hand seriously.

No, NDDC ought to be the one created first before Yoruba own.

BTW, no be igbo lawmakers shut down our bill when it was presented??

I know our lawmakers will prepare the bill again sha.

flokii:
I hope Yoruba lawmakers can wake up to see the realities on ground. We asked for South West Development Commission due to pressure from influx of economic refugees but South East lawmakers especially shut down the move.

If SE that contributes less than 10% of revenue should move for any Development Commission, South West must first get SWDC to develop the region contributing over 65% of government revenue.

Tho, we have our own self sponsored Commission (DAWN - Development agenda of western Nigeria)

But FG needs to create a commission for us.

SS and SW are the only region that supposed to get a development commission in Nigeria.

SS is the skeleton of Nigeria
SW is the Skin of Nigeria
North East and North central are the Make ups of Nigeria.
SE is the Inner flesh of Nigeria.
