bejeiodus:
I am sure these heavyweight politicians will return to the PDP. My only fear is their ambitions. Alhaji Rasheed Ladoja, Otunba Alao Akala and Engr Seyi Makinde are all eyeing the governorship seat. If the former governors can throw their weight behind Engr Seyi Makinde, the youngest of the trio, PDP will sweep the 2019 polls.

am telling man no candidate is as formidable as Seyi Makinde let Akala and Ladoja just step down and vie for Senate ..we can't rule Jumoke Akinjide,Teslim Folarin and the likes...The APC on the other hand...anyways 2019 will be interesting to watch in Oyo state

My heart felt condolences to the victims, I only wish they did shop insurance against fire and burglary cos if they didn't, what will dey fall back on? At least having lives and properties insured is for d benefit of having risks faced on a daily shared or covered.

so your an insurance risk advisor....which company of I may ask ?

Evablizin:
Op your post make sense die,all this fight and war with words are directly or indirectly building hatred within

That is just the ugly truth

oyatz:
Most people in Nigeria wrongly assume that Nigeria or various tribes of oil producing region own oil, this is not true at all.

1) The oil companies ( mostly foreign) own the oil.
They went to borrowed billions of dollars from reputable financial institutions, paid for prospecting licenses, drill and extract oil, sometimes from the depth of the ocean and sell the crude oil while paying an agreed percentage of the proceeds to the federation account.

2) The knotty issue is that they pay whatever they like because, Nigeria doesn't have the technical capacity to determine the actual quantity of oil they extract...this illustrate the superiority of knowledge over ignorance.

3) When Nigerians, especially the Niger deltans militants shout 'our oyel' they don't know that the oil is only theirs in name but in reality, the oil companies own the oil.

4) The best way for these oil rich region to fully achieve resource control is through ECONOMIC means.
Let the Governments and peoples of the Niger Delta float their own oil companies, sell shares to foreign technical partners, sell like 10% of the shares to other Nigerians in companies that will be publicly quoted on the stock exchanges in Nigeria, London, New York or J'burg and start businesses.. They can't lose, they have comparative advantages over the Northerners and Afonja they love to accuse of undue benefit from oil.

5) If they must be genuine peace in the oil rich Niger Delta region, I expect sensible FG to deliberately encourage direct participation of the Niger Delta peoples in the oil industry ...militants won't be blowing oil installations if Delta, Bayelsa States Governments, Tompolo, Edwin Clark, GEJ, Asari-Dokubo & other potential trouble makers are part owners of oil refineries scattered across Akwa-Ibom , Bayelsa,Ondo to Delta States.
The FG can even give out money to workers in the oil companies to buy shares in the oil companies while repayment is done by monthly minimal deductions from their salaries over 10years, so when they retire, they become pensioners-shareholders...you won't like to sabotage a company where you are eating and also co-owner.

6) The youthful energy, mental capacity and financial resources used in Militancy can take Nigeria to a new height if properly channeled to productive ventures.

I think an history of ARAMCO is Saudi Arabia will help a few misguided* people that keep saying our oyel* ....Nice explanation so far God bless you bro....

Saintsquare:
come to Abeokuta,go to Isapon,you will see your kinsmen selling wears. They even have there Eze.there. From there stroll down to Isale Igbin,you will see your people selling spare parts. Take a bike to Panseke,hundreds of your people are selling shoes, wears and electronics.

Ibadan, only Iwo roads has thousands of igbos selling all.sorts.

Even Ekiti ain't left out, come to Ado and see how your people are selling tiles, paints and.spare parts in Textiles,some are also selling egg roll at Fajuyi and many are riding okada.

So guy it's not bout Lagos at all but whole sw.....

this guy sabi Abeokuta very well .. being honest what ever u do ..do it well...some Ibos are doing in Abeokuta even in the civil service where an Ibo man is the P.S ...

EmekaMD:
how many properties does the yorubas own in the non-hostile north and other parts of the country?? That's exactly my point Bro..

the Yorubas have properties in NOrth very well....Have you heard of Sabon Gari in Kano...there should be a Sanyaolu street there ...I am sure of that n others places too....In Jos the Yorubas from Ogbomoso have a noticeable presence there the current king of Ogbomoso still has an hotel there am sure...to say the Yorubas do not have an investment there is not accurate....

WenysAD:


Which is why sufferings of people is high. Imagine a man who is d bread winner of his family suddenly dies with no insurance policy to take care of his children education and his family, the family's financial security and integrity is destroyed.
Alot of things are changing and right now the wise ones are purchasing insurance policies to take care of their risks in family, business, assets and lives.

yes know but the insurance industry still suffers due to lack of enforcement of government policies towards insurance like car insurance and others ...ever imagined all cars plying Lagos having genuine car insurance...do you know what that portends

ogobaby23:
We have the population no doubt.

180 million plus is no child's play

yes we have the population but less than 10% of Nigerians do insurance even common 3rd party !

TheKingdom:


Amaechi having your interest or his interest I beg. For 8 years he did nothing but sabotage his people and his region so that Buhari a coupist can become president. Don't be silly about Peterside

Haba ! for 8 years when did GEJ and Amaechi start fighting ...Bros calm down na...

Weststar Announces the Return of FIAT to Nigeria, Makers of Ferrari and Maserati – Also unveils one of its new models, The FIAT Tipo

It is with great excitement that Weststar Associates Limited, (Authorized General Distributors of Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, & Ram in Nigeria) confirms the arrival of the much-anticipated Italian brand - FIAT in Nigeria. Plans are already in motion to officially launch the first model to return – the ‘FIAT Tipo’. This makes Weststar also the authorized distributor for FIAT and FIAT Professional automobiles in the country.

FIAT is majorly known as automakers of luxurious high performance sports cars such as Ferrari and Maserati. In October, 2014, Fiat and Chrysler Group of automobiles formed a merger to become FIAT Chrysler Automobiles. This new alliance paved way for access to newer technologies and advanced engineering solutions. In 2016, Ferrari was signed off as a separate entity in order for FCA to focus more on manufacturing city cars.

This same Italian heritage is seen in the FIAT Tipo, with its unique features such as versatility, large interior space and compact exterior dimensions. The name - Tipo is a celebrated designation that FIAT has used many times during it’s over one century of history. The Tipo is one of the models to carry the coveted name of which nearly two million were produced from 1988 to 1995 and which was first awarded "Car of the Year” in 1989.

“We are thrilled about this development as Nigerians can now enjoy real value for their money. The FIAT Tipo fits perfectly in its segment and will be officially presented before the month ends. The Tipo offers high appeal as it comes with a vast variety of standard options. Its Italian heritage promises comfort, quality and versatility. With the FIAT Tipo, you do not need much to get a lot. Thus, it serves as a wonderful option for Nigerians even as we have already put in place, an excellent maintenance culture offered by our aftersales team” – Stavros Diamantidis, General Manager, FCA group, Weststar Associates Limited.

The four-door sedan version of the FIAT Tipo is one of the first models which will be exclusively available at Weststar Associates Limited, Authorized General Distributors of Mercedes-Benz, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, FIAT and FIAT professional in Nigeria.

yemsai:
So I was at a frnd's place today who is married...we wanted to go somewhere and saw her putting on skirt and rubbing white powder...we've known each oda for quite a while and hav known her to be dis exposed babe;i mean she no dey wear skirt at all...so I asked her her y,and she told me her husband told her to stop wearing trousers,using makeup,big earrings etc immediately after their wedding..and I could remember this same guy practically gift her things like dis while dey were dating..

So I want to ask...why is it so?
Why do men pretend dey like something wen dey actually dont?
To d married women;has it ever happened to u?
Let's hear ur views..

Cc: lalasticlala, mynd44

I guess the husband is insecure thinking he can't have for keeps if she keeps dressing like that...my opinion tho let your wife go makeup less ,wear cape n skirt touching the ground if she will cheat,she will surely cheat shikena

sarrki:
Even at that you defeated him hands down
Jagaban you are far above him
Gej will always fear you forever
As a former governor you dealt with a sitting president
Tuale Akanbi

Akanbi himself !!!! Current Champion !

Oga add Bola Ajibola and SM Afolabi to it..It is only a Senate President and a VP that my school has produced from Egunya hills to Oke Saje

What about Baptist boys high school?

Bro...ever heard of the Jews Rothschilds* they should be the richest i think

Clone2020:
His father was a "Robber Barron" just like Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, Vanderbilt and Charles Schwab. Very wealthy men alright, but they made their money through corrupt means and rigged the system. The Rockerfellas are the richest family in world even till this day.

Are you fighting against APC or Nigeria ?

kettykin:
The funny thing is that the real terrorist groups are walking around free, the Fulani herdsmen and the boko Haram militias.

God help any useless judiciary OR useless president that will sentence kanu to death OR Life jail
Enough of the APC witchcraft

God bless you for this.well said in order to understand the Yoruba mindset about politics then we should study politics of 1st and 2nd republic.GEJ won massively in 2011 because we felt he was a breath of fresh air well we all know wot wanted .we sud nt forget that PMB and even Ribadu of the ACN so called Yoruba candidate was dere den in 2011 yet GEJ won .

Padipadi:
GEJ personally insulted & disrespected me by removing fuel subsidy on the 1st of Jan 2012. He was insensitive there. GEJ failed me by not guaranteeing the promised power generation expectation of 10,000mw but left me with only 3,500mw to manage with my fellow Nigerians.
APC propaganda didn't tell me these facts. I don't support politicians based on he/she's my brother/family syndrome. I support who I morally think is ok!
I m not speaking for Yorubas but I share similar thoughts like them. Most Yorubas supported GEJ in 2011. So why are you or any pained easterner/south-south crying foul play. If only you blamed me or any Yorubaman that voted APC that they should v looked for alternatives...I ll beleive you are completely right.
We don't like OBJ blindly. OBJ didn't get much support when he was contesting with a fellow Yorubaman (Olu Falae) in 1999. In 2003, he made some improvements between 1999-2003. We beleive he could come back & continue to do well. OBJ is not a Yorubaman's favourite. We don't shield a man that have error. We try to check it.
Some of these elders appeared or if not compromised! Are these not the elders EFCC is dragging about that one of them collected N100m?
If we have a well meaning elder last year, he ll rather say we keep our vote or vote for a diff party rather than vote GEJ.

Myopic, unexperienced kids like yourself and that overgrown, greedy Arrow called Tinubu went with Buhari.

You only had two options, no more and you went with the worst option.

So, don't say we shouldn't bring GEJ into this issue.
There are three types of Yoruba voters/politicians.
1. Those who vote cause they reason well
2. Those who vote cause they were persuaded by propaganda
3. Those who vote cause they were given bags of rice or kegs/gallons of oil & ankara.

Out of the three, No 1 is the most populous. These were the people that supported GEJ in 2011. If it was the vote of the easterners/south-south alone that year GEJ ll not win. the southwest vote gave more to GEJ. The opposite happened in 2015 and you were crying foul play. Always saying Yorubas are responsible for your case. The same thing during the time of the civil war where Igbos till today accuse Awolowo of diff things. What of the majority Christian middle belt that went against the Igbos during the time of the civil war & again in 2015 election votes. If I continue, we ll completely derail the thread. Yorubas have their fault. We may be guilty of mis-calculations in 2015. But I ll rather note vote for anyone if GEJ was the only option last year. every region should charge their politicians to do good governance. By 2019, If APC/Buhari have not improved...I guarantee you that no well meaning Yoruba man ll vote them.

Who called Yorubas AFONJAS until 2014?

Nobody!

The AFONJA tag came in vogue after the SW allied with the North against Southern interests.

I don't reallly get moved by being called an Afonja. Afonja is only recognised in Ilorin. He's not a suitable role model so we don't get mad when he's abused or we are abused through him. I only laugh at the mysery of anyone referring to Yorubas as Afonjas or Igbos as IPods. It's a shame Seun & his mods only remember my own words as abusive or bullying on Nairaland (that's a story for another day).

You have a blind hatred for GEJ because neither Tinubu nor OBJ (your star leaders) are better than GEJ.

They have done everything they accuse GEJ of, so why the hypocrisy?

-Lord
I voted and campaigned for GEJ in 2011. How can you say I or other well meaning Yorubas hated him. We are aware ofthe North's manipulations. If only we can see a patriotic Igboman that beleives in one Nigeria, he or she ll be hot cake for Aso Rock in 2019.

Iporo thats the fifth member of omo iya marun....Egba my home the cradle of civilisation in Nigeria

teetee123:
Good one. That oriki is more of Egba Alake or what you can refer to Egba omo Iya marun, that is Ake, Kenta, Itoku, Ijeun and one other part of the town.
Egba meji ki jara won niyan, bi kan ban puro ikeji a ma wipe bawa- Two Egbas do not disagree with each other (especially in the presence of a stranger even if they are lying).

This is of the older generation. Recent history of disagreement between Fela Kuti, Abiola, Obasanjo and Soyinka proved this to be wrong.

The king in the South vs the king at King's Landing.leggo !

TheFreeOne:




Buhari is APC NATIONAL LEADER - Tinubu

Tinubu is a PRICELESS ASSET TO APC - Buhari

Game of thrones.

Actually NPN had lots of yoruba people Akinloye,Coker,Adeniran Ogunsanya even Olusola Saraki.2nd rep politics was less tribalistic* compared to the 1st rep bro

balash:


My brother, he was initially with UPN, he wasn't popular so he was modest, the fact that he wasn't allowed to fly the flag of the Party made him leave, A yoruba man with UPN symbol won't go join the northerners immediately, those days people are way way tribalistic, yoruba for UPN, Hausa for NPN

Abiola made his money during the Gowon era via ITT n all ..he joined politics during the 2nd rep .A military contractor will obviously join a pro military party NPN.R u aware he wanted to contest for president while SIMBI contested for senate.facts my broda

balash:



My brother!! He actually wanted to be the Ogun governor and he went to Obafemi Awolowo but the man told him he was still too young and wealth doesn't mean you can be a good leader. That was the fight between them so he instead went to NPN and supported them with cash to upsurge UPN! More like he betrayed his tribe because of his aspiration.. Get ur fact right

I repeat he was never in the upn .never had a guber ambition.perhaps you need to understand yourself bro[ quote author=balash post=51359560]

Reading and understanding happens to be a very important factor you should learn to imbibe before you quote anyone with your cock and bull stories, Nobody said he contested, don't you understand the difference between he wasn't allow to contest under UPN symbol for Governorship position? And he contested?

Do you even know why he left UPN to join NPN Then? Go back to your history books my brother[/quote]

Funny how you lecture someone about history when your not stating the facts.Abiola NEVER contested for gov of Ogun state ,he had beef with Awo because he was in Npn while Awo was Upn its all politics.nobody is claiming he is a saint but he is the symbol of democracy in Nigeria because he won the best election ever conducted in this country .get your facts straight sir

balash:


How old are you? Am so certain you were probably still a kid when Abiola contested or you were plainly part of the stomach infrastructure scheme he built his fake ass popularity on.

Best we never had my black bumbum


This ur fake ass M.K.O was part of the problem Nigeria is facing now, he used his wealth to upsurge the elderly leaders plans on a good governance for the average Nigerians, Go find an elderly man and ask him what M.K.O Abiola did to the likes of Obafemi Awolowo and Olabisi Onabanjo Because he was told he should Chill on his aspiration on been the Governor of Ogun state then. Go and study your history

Jagaban ! Akanbi himself

Good job..next is those overzealous sars officials that overdo their job searching fones upandan

Not necessarily having an idea about evrything helps in some kind of biz
