Truth be told,titles like iyalode,Iya oloja are not hereditary in yoruba land,its usually meant for the most influential among the women folks.tinubu would be shooting himself on the foot if he can't learn to trust people that are not members of his immediate family,NURTW and market women does not make up 20% of lagos population.as much as I like him,am beginning to resent him.but PDP will never rule Lagos state sha,we would rather die under the rule of the "emperor".labour party would have being a better alternative but ogbeni mimiko has being a let down of late,very embarrassing.lord deliver us oooo.

Why is mr governor disgracing us like this nau?its better he keep quiet.

Adex097: G.E.Jonathan met with the Queen
of England. He asked her, "Your
Majesty, how do you run such an
efficient government?
Are there... any tips you can give
to me? I want to help Nigeria.
"Well,"the Queen replied, "the
most important thing
is to surround yourself with
intelligent people.
Jonathan frowned, and then asked, "But
how do I know the people
around me are really
intelligent?"
The Queen took a sip off her cup
of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to
answer an intelligent riddle."
The Queen pushed a button on
her intercom. "Please ... send
David Cameron in here, would you?"
David Cameron walked into the room and said,
"Yes,Your Majesty?"
The Queen smiled and said,
"Answer me this please. David,
your mother and
father have a child. It is not your
brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a
moment, David Cameron
answered, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.
Jonathan went back home to ask N. Sambo, his
vice presidential
choice the same question.
"Sambo, answer this for me. Your
mother and your father
have a child. It's not your brother
and it's not your sister. Who is it?" "I'm
not sure, said
Sambo. "Let me get back to you
on that one..." He
went to his advisors and asked
every one, but none could give him an answer.
Finally, one night, he ran into
Ngozi iweala..
Sambo asked, “Ngozi, can you
answer this for me?
Your mother and father have a child and it's not
your brother or
your sister. Who is it?"
Ngozi Iweala answered sharply, "That's
easy, it's me"
Sambo smiled, and said,
"Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak with
Jonathan. "Sir, I did
some research and
I have the answer to that riddle.
It's
Ngozi iweala.
Jonathan got up angrily,frowning he said to
Sambo. No wonder
Nigeria isn't moving forward, I
don't have intelligent people
around me. !You Dummy! The
answer is David Cameron!!!!l...........

wtf I can't stop laughing.

druid06: It's funny seeing how Mr Abati speech was carefully composed, not once ever did he mention Baba's ( OBJ ) in any part of his speech. The statement too is contradictory praising Ribadu as a respectable chairman of the EFCC and in the subsequent parts that followed, commented on Ribadu being corrupt and a political thug for the former administration. All these politicians self, them think say we nor sabi English small. See as the man dey twist word...LOL....

10,000+

This man should encourage more xtians to be involved in politics,av been in a party meeting in my ward and 90% of the ppl there were Muslims,we xtians feels politics is too dirty and dnt want to get involve,if we dnt get involve,who is going to clean it up.btw we just dnt give a Zap about religion here in sw.

PointB: Was it GEJ apologists to took Tinubu to court ob account of his certificates?
Was Tunde Bakare playing the PDP card when he questioned Tinubu's identity and called him a bastard?
What about the various sleaze linked to Tinubu, and his continuous looting of Lagos treasury via his many schemes?
Did GEJ apologists operate all those foreign accounts linked with Tinubu while in office?

Your response is typical of ACN goons, and half baked ACN intellectuals on parade in Nigeria - blame everything on the big bad PDP! In any case, Tinubu is a typical yoruba theif, loquacious to boot. In saner culture he would rather play in the shadows, not at the fore. Alas, this foolishness is called 'political sophistication'

Here are other various allegation yet to be cleared by this Tinubu and comapany:



Tinubu is a sophisticated thief currently left to run wild by FG as he serves their interest at the moment. Expect reality to change the moment his 'usefulness' expires.

this is a very good presentation by you,but why is it that the efcc have not moved in to arrest this man if what he did was criminal?since we have an agency like efcc?cos is it a crime if am a public figure,that should hinder my wealth?am not holding brief for him but I think if all he has done is not incriminating then there shouldn't be a problem,I think he is a smart political/businessman.

4bobo: I thought my governor banned street trading. how come madam no pick race as govnor dey come. this look like publicity stunt and arrangeee. daddy fashola you fall my hand o.

its an exhibition.

Afam4eva: I voted for Buhari in the 2011 presidential election and i've always defended him when Christians term him an Islamic extremist. But with his latest utterances, i'm beginning to have a second thought about him. He should have made his statement without bringing the Niger-Delta into it. That makes him seem like a sectional leader and we don't want a sectional leader as President. We can't afford to go back to the Military days.

I didn't vote buhari but Gej,av being a grate admirer of the man,and sincerely I av being looking forward to 2015 to cast my vote for him,with his recent utterances am having a change of mind.that's doesn't mean gej gets my vote,we expected a lot from him and he has turn out to be a grate disappointment.

Its so sad what gej is doing to Amechi,if he feels that Amechi is going to be a problem against his own ambition,he should have just called him and talk to him,he is ill advised
Dictators don't last in Nigeria politics,they will all gather against him,gowon,ibb,abacha and obj learnt the hard way,the people he should be wary of are the ones close to him.

clint77ng: Sahara Reporters(Yoruba things). Why do the yorubas and the Moslem North hate GEJ. During the Amalgamation, was it adopted and sealed that an Ijaw man will never rule Nigeria? Despite the yorubas not voting for OBJ's, they still respected and protected him as their own. Why all these insults on GEJ. Doesn't an Ijaw man deserve some respect from Yoruba racists. WHO GOD HAS BLESSED NO MAN CAN CURSE. Since most of you are moslems, i guess you haven't heard of that saying. My advice to GEJ; Even the son of God came, they hated him, accused him falsely,abused and insulted him, beat him, torn and stole his dress and killed him, but they didn't change the fact that he was and still the son of God and was born of the virgin, they didn't change the fact that he asended into heaven and currently sitting in the right hand of God. Not equating you to christ, but they will hate, gossip, accuse you, but they wont change the fact that you were and still the president and commander in chief, they wont change the fact that the almighty God who brought you out from the creeks of Bayelsa, made u DG, Gov., D. President, acting president and then President, will still keep you there at Aso rock come 2015, cos u are there for a purpose and has not accomplished it. God wants to bless the south east through you.

oga nobody is hating the president cos he is an ijaw man,he won a free and fair election,expectations where too high on him due to the fact that many people saw him as someone who was not part of the establishment"power elite",I won't ascribe to the insult hurled at him,but the truth is that he has disappointed most Nigerians.
On your take about yorubas respecting OBJ and protecting him,its in their nature to always respect their elders,the only time they protected him was against Atiku,apart from that they were his no1 critics.The calamity we have today was brought on us when other regions voted against who the yorubas Wanted among their two sons,
We had pdp for more than a decade it won't be a bad thing if we vote another party at the centre,it will only strengthen our democracy,pdp is already an institution and it will be a formidable opposition party,we don't have to play the tribal/ethnic/religious cards all the time,
Tbh GEJ is the best civilian president Nigeria ever had,but we need a better hand and let's try someone else,the politics he is playing these day is eroding on his popularity.

What's the fuss all about?WS only affirmed that his friend CA doesn't like being called "father of African literature"what more can be more honourable than not to call a man what he does not want to be called,he is not just a man but an intellect,an authority in his world,these people don't reason like we do,what gives them pride is beyond what we call them.WS did not say anything wrong,
BTW for those comparing WS and CA,claiming one is more known than the other,it all depends on which angles you look at it,fictionovelist sell far more than playwright
Playwright works are suppose to be performed as plays on stage,that explains why WS works might be boring for the average mind.comparing them because on won a Nobel and the other is commercially successful is not fair to both of them,QED RIP Achebe

OlowoTee: No, the truth is that people are still amazed at how much value you get for buying a Tecno phone, especially the new series N3, D7, D5, Q1. I was motivated to give it a try when I saw it with a brother. I got the D5 and it's been awesome :/ . While I enjoy playing games on it...AngryBirds. I use my BB for other stuffs. It's fun giving it a try. These are super cool collections, really! Kudos to those Tecno Team.

my brother when people are amazed about a product,they hardly know what the series of all the product,but you my friend seems to be an expert on techno phones,you guys are just marketing.

Akson man: Dont u all think that FUNSO WILLIAMS was killed cos he was christian?

Nah he was killed cos he was in pdp,the killer party.

shymexx: That's what most of them don't know. Islam was prominent amongst Yoruba's way before Christianity and Uthman Dan Fodio. And a lot of Yoruba Muslim scholars schooled In Timbuktu under the tutelage of Baba Ahmed, when Songhai reigned supreme in West Africa.

I seriously don't believe that Islam came to the southwest before ustman Dan fodio era,btw before the grater part of what use to be the old lagos was include to make the present state,most lagosian were traditional and Christians,with a good number of Muslims.
@ op we just don't give a Zap about religion in politics,all we want is the best man/woman for the job.

gidig: Another Tecno thread? Was a thread not opened a few weeks ago to attack BB? You guys must be desperate to shove this phone down the throat of Nigerians by force. I remember writing in a similar thread that that post was the job of some tecno sales people. And this is also similar.

If you believe that Tecno that its the best phone since bread was invented, good for you. Opening threads after thread of similar Tecno brilliance is getting boring now. If your market survey has told you to go after BBB users, I am sure you cam find some more imaginative ways to do it.

its so obvious the way they are going about it,a good product will surely sell it self,not all this praise singing,you guys should just switch to script writing rather than marketing.although I appreciate chincos for making the device cheap.

Placing osun above,ogun,oyo and anambra states makes this statistics questionable,
Btw am a Lagosian

ItsModella: What truth? Since when did it become bad for somebody to show off or tell the world she got paid hugely to cut her hair. That you find it excessive doesn't make it bad.

nollywood is a big industry here in Nigeria,it won't be a good thing for the players in the industry putting up false claims,that will diminish their credibility and character,which is not good for the industry,Mr Novia is a producer and a director,they pay the actors/actresses,I believe he knows what is talking about.On the other hand there is nothing like bad publicity in show business,if she is lying about her pay no problem,I never knew who she was before now.
She better hire some bodyguards,kidnappers are lurking everywhere.

redsun: It is not a blessing,mind you.That is the system is not working because people does not give back to the system and even when they give,the people in charge will steal it korokoro,government people,i.e,tinubu.

It is a crazy situation.

However i feel for Lauren,oyinbos are cherry picking on black artist that deviate slightly to put them in jail.If it was lindsay lohan,she would have been sent to rehab as a badly behaved child,instead of a criminal adult that they glaringly see in black artists.

dnt know about cherry picking,but it doesn't matter if you are a black or white,if you evade tax and the IRs caught up with you,you ve got to spend time in prison whether you plead guilty or not,its the law.ir not everyone will evade tax and wait till irs come,they plea guity pay the tax plus the penalties and walk away.

[quote author=Dan_de_Numeruno]I tried ridiculing you but one look at your moniker and profile tells me you are not worth the trouble. You are on Nairaland to obviously have fun.[/quote]what is wrong with someone saying that?it simply means God is grate in Arabic,am a Christian and we all have different ways/names of God simply because we have different language.

Probability in an event that happened almost 50years ago? Anyway can we get past this coup thing and let's stop telling the stories?no matter how bad or corrupt a civilian government is,its far better than a military one.
We all know that the problem of this Country was the amalgamation of the north and south,the quest of the british empire then was to have a large dominating country in westafrica just to counter the french grip on the region,but unfortunately we can all see that it was a terrible experience,and now we are all suffering from it.

This is really nice,twale for you op.

Am so much going to bookmark this thread,no more paying for Brazilian hair for me,if you cannot grow and straighten your hair,then u are on your own.I don tire.

Seriouslywhy compare the dead with the living?ridiculous topics are hitting the frontpage this days,I love them both but their styles and deliveries are different,please stop comparin them.

UN sincere Nigerian,haba nau!don't you guys do your research in your office before coming online to post things,your superiors are going to query you for this one ooo,you just unmasked one of their area of incompetence,the contract for the parchment work on the section of the road has being awarded by ferma,the problem is now funding,and they are waiting for the ministry of finance for that.

chiboy1928: got no time to argue wit u,take it or live it ghanian ladies are far more beta than nigerian ladies character wise,love,care and all dat u may ever tink or tot of jst my 2cent d gap margin is so wide thumps up my ashanti ladies( afisia paa muyina)!

please don't argue with her,she doesn't really know girls from other climes,cause a ghanian man said it doesn't means he is right,what we are all saying is that a very large percentage of Nigerian girls are materialistic, its normal for them.buy a BlackBerry phone for a ghanian girl,she would think twice before she accept it,cause her friends,family are going to ask where she got the money from,but in naija its just a normal thing for girls living in a house of 80k p/a with her family of six to own a blackberry bold 6,samsung galaxy 3 and an ipad all @ once and nobody says shit.

Nice work guys,our ladies need to know the real definition of love and relationship,but tbh we guys are the real cause of our girls/ladies/women being materialistic,when I say we men I mean Nigerian men,I don't know any other men from other countries that spend money on women the way we do,a ghanian southafrican,british even Americans can't spoil their women the way we do,we spoil them silly and here is the result,on the other hand that's the only reason we are the most sought-after by the females of other country

Gwad dammit,teacher pls dnt teach me nonsence!kilode nau,am a Lagosian,there is no way a port can make 200billion usd,if the GDP of the entire country is hovering around 350billion usd.

Why can't they absorb both mend,opc and other militant group into Ncdsc,professionalise their operations,key into their knowledge on security,use the billions that is being paid to upgrade the civil defence and the police.
