I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT half of the govenors that decamped have cases against them in efcc. APC became a live party in the SW because the Governors were new.....

But I give it to tinubu, VERY SMART GUY- visionary his political intelligence in a country like Nigeria can only be matched by Obasanjo.
Kudos, to building a strong Opposition.

I think its funny- two years ago there MANY POSTERS SAYING AMAECHI WAS THE BEST GOVERNOR IN Nigeria better than Fashola,

Now he joined apc - he is all of a sudden a black sheep and outcast- "he is not performing blah blah"

Hypocritical ediots. carry on jare!

geeez:

Oyo and Ogun are bigger in GDP than any state in the SE as assessed by an independent non-Nigeria company

The states' IGRs are strong evidences

no point in arguing with igbo people esp ones on nairaland

Nothing they say or do is valid or a representation of the things in reality,
-They live in SW, Work in SW go to the best schools in the SW, do business in the SW, even invest in the SW, Headquarter their companies in the SW. Countless Nairalanders who are igbo have been posting in the Business section about buying property in Ogun state, Agri-Business in Ogun-

ADDed

sbeezy8: I have been saying for the last couple times I have logged on Nairaland. Yoruba HAVE learn how to ignore


At this point one cannot even take the igbos seriously esp their top politicians and businessmen-
- 50% of the igbo people are based in outside the SE mainly in the SW and North of all places - oh the irony
- top igbo Politician barely have meaningful investments in the SE from Peter Obi, Kalu to Dim Ojuwkwu himself.
-Their children are following Yoruba and Hausa elite children- around the country From Lagos to Abuja to london.
-Their daughters are marrying Yoruba dudes recklessly as if their names are bimpe and kemi. Guys from Jim Ovia to Leo Ekeh lol
-Diezani Allison-Madueke- is giving out oil contracts to Yoruba chaps like Kola Aluko, Jide Omokore who are now in forbes

If Nigeria breaks up tomorrow dear I say OoDUA REPUBLIC -
Ethnic comprise will be like-
60-70% Yoruba
5-10%- Non- Nigerian- from neighboring countries....
10-15% igbo- if not more...
10-15% Hausa-fulani etc Northerners- if not more...
10- 15% - Minorities from all over the country
All of whom will become yorubanized- anyway

Im not being tribalistic. Im being realistic- For the most part outside on nairaland, Majority of Non- Yoruba people are enjoying a peaceful life in the SW even outside of Lagos.

there is NOW WAY THIS NIGGAH IS 18

I guess a strong opposition is good for th country but..... these governors are the worse performing, most likely most corrupt in the country.

APC is getting lame

I have been saying for the last couple times I have logged on Nairaland. Yoruba HAVE learn how to ignore the Southeast , If its Yoruba today, tomorrow its Hausa-fulanis, muslims , etc.

I mean they are too focused on fighting a regular yoruba man on the street to even realize their own elite people are not helping them/biafra/region. its funny actually,

Andre Uweh: Some of you guys who come here to tell us that Igbo or Yoruba language is on the verge of extinction surely haven't travelled round Nigeria.
Attention should be diverted to the north where the Hausa language are swallowing the minority languages at a very fast rate.

Even though I think youre a kangaroo, People put to much emphasis on igbo and yoruba because we speak english, when in essence the culture and language that is about to die is Hausa with over 40% of their words having arabic origin, with nearly all of their names being arabic, with their whole attire being muslim, There horses, Camells, snake charming, shows arent Hausa either- all arabic origin.

simpleseyi:

This is the part I love most.

This nonentity called Eze has many businesses in Yoruba land, has many Yoruba business and political partners, yet he does not want the poor Igbo masses to interact with Yorubas. He hates Yorubas so much, but he keeps shouting "One Nigeria"

hes fake. see below- this one with hausa

ba7man: To me, there are 2 kinds of Igbos;

(1) The smart, hardworking ones that silently make their money, love to have a good time and just get on by with their lives regardless of their location or whatever tribe they deal with. ((I've got a lot of Lagos Igbo friends like that around me, will be hanging out to watch the match tomorrow with them sef).

(2) The lousy, tribalistic bigots that are permanently angry and frustrated, always eager to pull down others to feel good..........and make silly statements like this one above.

Sadly, its the no(2) that are most vocal at spreading their message thus giving the positive ones a bad name.

Learn to identify them. There are still a lot of Good people amongst them.

We should never generalize.

i actually agree

Arysexy:

Animal, wot brot u to this thread? Is dia any starving propaganda in this thread? Get d hell out of here with ur starvation rubbish. We are talking about how APC touts trying to rig my state elction, u r talking about starvation. Go open anoda thread about dat let me feed u with APC propaganda also.

Just trying to cover up d criminal act of ur yeye APC.

Anuofia

Guy if you think APC is yeye fine, I dont care but stop trying hard to tribalize everything its pitiful

gratiaeo:
Your level of stupidity is appealing, your sense of comprehension in nothing to write home.
I just have questions for you, what are Yoruba boys from Osun state doing in Imo state with Inec official ID and Anambra state voters card?

I dont know why would they be in Imo if anambra is where the election is taking place..... lol On a real note, they didnt specify where the people came from stop yarning dust.

Im only wasting time arguing with you losers because im bored, Not only did you quote me, you didnt even address what I wrote.

russellino:

This is how your type fifty years ago confused and radicalised future generations including you.

It may not be true but anyhow please say how on earth a statement targeted at osun apc is a symbol of hatred against all yorubas. I can now understand better how some of us think.

Pls support the national conference let's decide if we want to answer our papa name or not

Wetin concern me with 50 yrs ago or not? I dont know anything about or care for Nigerian civil war. lets try to stay current, 50 YEARS KE? why should I or anyone care when 70% of naija is under the age of 40.

Boyz don move on already abeg nah new issue we fit discuss, no be old dead one

Arysexy:


Its obvious u r an APC supporter! U shud go to ngige facebook page and see d propaganda he dish out everyday. Abeg pack wellm

U all can deny wotever but this case is no propaganda Mr denial. Don't u av TV in ur house? Tune to AIT and get first hand information about d news. U mean imo state commisioner of police wil involve himself in ds mess just to churn out propaganda? Wot d heck are u blabbing?

Respect ko disrespect ni! Abeg go sit down blind APC supporter!

mumu I dont care who wins... or loses Anambra is not my state, I was addressing the fake tweet that apc will starve igbos

russellino: Yoruba ppl must always spin something and use it for political gain. Smh

The author of what I posted was an igbo man you can search on the internet I only posted it for jokes

russellino:

No wonder you are one of the architects of tribalism on this site.

Wetin concern political mudslinging with igbo hatred of yorubas. Smh

WTFuk are you talking about? the propaganda that- the supposed "apc thugs came from Osun" is share hatred

russellino:

I have always liked ngige but the fact that ppl who pop champagne when they hear that an igbo man died in the north, curse and wish igbos death at every given opportunity, post pics of starving igbo babies are hailing him all of a sudden is making me worried. I just wish we had more options.

Log off nairaland.... For the most part, Yorubas in the SW do not care if Ngige wins or loses they are not seeing anything ethnic but political. I dont know any yoruba person rejoicing over dead igbos, For the most part even the most tribalistic yoruba person, it too tribalistic to conern hiimself with anything that is non-sw

I like majority of yoruba posters only posted on this thread in regards to the anti- yoruba propaganda e warriors have been flying around. If ngige wins or doesnt win Majority of yoruba people will not care, He needs APC more than APC needs him because he doesnt have a political party that has seat in the rep and senate

Im not being tribal just practical. whether ngige wins or not, its NOT really a big deal

biafranqueen: so you don't think we know that brothers sale out other brothers for money and power please my friend, I want to know why you people are so interested in our state?

Personally, I dont care who wins anambra- or any igbo state for that matter like most yoruba- If ngige left apc tomorrow it still wouldnt affect the daily lives of people in the SW afterall in naija politicians switch parties like they change under pants-

but the propaganda is ridiculous, Riggers and political thugs from osun, APC will starve igbos-... its beyond ridiculous.

For many igbos- this is your envy, hatred, jealousy of anything associated with yoruba.

This post reminds me of Michelle obamas supposedly igbo wife

For well over two centuries, the United States has been vastly more diverse than its ruling families. Now the Obama family has flipped that around, with a Technicolor cast that looks almost nothing like their overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly Protestant predecessors in the role. The family that produced Barack and Michelle Obama is black and white and Asian, Christian, Muslim and Jewish. They speak English; Indonesian; French; Cantonese; German; Hebrew; African languages including Swahili, Luo and Igbo; and even a few phrases of Gullah, the Creole dialect of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Very few are wealthy, and some — like Sarah Obama, the stepgrandmother who only recently got electricity and running water in her metal-roofed shack — are quite poor.

“Our family is new in terms of the White House, but I don’t think it’s new in terms of the country,” Maya Soetoro-Ng, the president’s younger half-sister, said last week. “I don’t think the White House has always reflected the textures and flavors of this country.”

The families also share a kind of adventurous self-determination. In the standard telling, the Obama side is the one that bent the rules of geography and ethnicity. Yet the first lady’s family, the supposed South Side traditionalists, includes several members who literally or figuratively ventured far from home. Nomenee Robinson was an early participant in the Peace Corps, serving in India for two years; later, he moved to Nigeria, where he met his wife; the couple now live in Chicago. Capers Funnye Jr., a cousin of Mrs. Obama’s and a rabbi, was brought up in the black church, he said, but as a young man, he felt a calling to Judaism he could not ignore

whitecat007:

whitecat007: Is anyone actually surprised for real? Cos I am not. I have studied the pattern, ibos makes statements like this to hurt cos they know we care. Yoruba need to bring out their "I don't care" cards each time. If only the Yoruba really knows what time it is in Nigeria now! If only my people can just look at the big picture of where and how it will end.

Nigeria is not one and it will never be. I just feel bad that my people are the last to see where we are. Yoruba have friends in Nigeria, but ibo is not one of them.

The only thing that can change Nigeria is to break the country up, any other thing is just band aid.

We should stop being held to ransom by ibos. As the saying goes " you hate what you can't conquer". Together with their " war of minds" you have a recipe for what will either make them walk all over us or stop them once and for all

We should forget eastern part of Nigeria politically cos tribal card has never been pulled on any other tribe during campaign in the east.

Exactly, At this point Yoruba people should not engage these ibos, Hausa Literally Ignore ibos no matter how much they insult them.....

^^^ I said before that tribes assimilate into hausa and yoruba majority of the time- I was right

[size=15pt]In Kogi, Fulani find new wealth, new tongue .
[/size]

Jibrin Abubakar, who was in Kogi .

They are in a perpetual state of flux. Nomadic Fulani are the most widely travelled ethnic group in Nigeria. Many of them have become Hausa, some are now Yoruba. But there is fear that the Fulani tongue may disappear in years to come.

This is corroborated by the fact that many Fulani people cannot speak Fulfulde. In Kogi, they have found a new melting pot where the pasture is richer and greener.

In Kogi’s Bunu-Kabba Local Government, the story is not different but the evolution is taking business dimension where the Fulani assimilate Owe as a business language helped by inter-ethnic marriage. The Owe speaking people are scattered around Bunu-Kabba and Yagba West Local Governments of the state.

Zango in Bunu-Kabba is considered the goose that is laying the new ‘golden eggs’. It is seen as a melting point and a catalyst to the evolution of the new ‘tribe’. Zango is a place where both ethnic groups meet to do hard cattle business, and then all other things follow.

On daily basis, Zango causes the immigration of more Fulani people. It is a place to make money. The aborigines are said to be hospitable to their guests. The green grass also smiles at the nomadic pastoralists.

The daily value of trade in cattle is put at about N4 million in Zango, while an average of 20 heads of cattle are sold or bought. This is apart from the small auxiliary businesses flourishing around the area.

The chief Imam of the Hausa community, Malam Muhammadu Ahmad said that there is growing trend of inter-marriage taking place between the Hausa and the owe speaking people.

“We have been marrying ourselves. Our children speak the owe language fluently. This is not a problem, it is normal,” he said.

According to him, most Hausa people came to Bunu-Kabba to take refuge from South East of the country during the Biafran War.

“The people of this region gave us refuge and accommodation when we were being killed during the war. In fact, the sarkin Hausa of the town was born here.”

He said he came to the area in 1980s when he was trading in wrist watches and clocks. According to him, the Owe-speaking people are very hospital and peace loving.

Yakubu Haruna is in his 70s. He immigrated to Bunu-Kabba in 1980. He said nomadic life brought him to Kogi State from Plateau. He said he has about 200 cows and that the average price of a grown cow is N100,000. He said most of their children now speak the local dialect and that inter-marriages preceded his arrival. He, however, added that the only ticket needed for marrying a Fulani man or woman is Islam.

Speaking also, sarkin Zango (Head of the zango), Malam Abubakar Aliyu, who is also a Fulani, originally from Sokoto, said he left his ancestral home 27 years ago in search of green pasture; but when he arrived Bunu-Kabba, he said to himself he has found a new home.

Regaling our reporter with the story of Zango, he said: “The story of Zango is not more than 15 years back when we applied to use this land that was originally slated for market purposes. When they gave us the go-ahead, we started with three cows. Today, an average of 80 cows are sold on daily basis. This is in the region of N4 million.

“The cows come from Jega, Wudil, Shinkafi and Tambuwal. Our major problem here is that we have no tap water and we want the government to also contribute to environmental sanitation.”

He advised government to develop interest in what is happening in Zango as it generates about N50,000 into government coffers.

Alhaji Muhammadu Altini, who is the Sarkin Pawa (in charge of slaughtering) is Hausa, originally from Tambuwal, Sokoto State. He left Tambuwal 33 years back to join his elder brother at Ajaokuta. He left Ajaokuta to Bunu-Kabba eight years ago and was later asked to head the slaughtering segment of the Zango. He is credited with the construction of all the shops in Zango.

Speaking about his department, he said he has up to 18 staff in his unit.

He added, “we have some problems here. Our abattoir is not in good shape. Cows’ waste is not properly disposed of and this poses serious environmental hazard. We, that have titles are also not paid salaries or allowances. We want the local government and the traditional institution to show more concern in what we are doing here.”

Despite some of the concerns raised by the immigrants, Bunu-Kabba is a new home and Owe, a new tongue they have found. Salient cultural changes are also taking place, some are noticed, others are not. The underlying current now is business.

Segeggs: yoruba is spoken in benin, togo, ivoqy coast, brazil, cuba, jamaica etc so 9ice's music has a wider prospect of global acceptance than flavour's music which doesnt exceed alaigbo making him a regional star.

disagree, Poeple like Flavour in East and Southern Africa where alot of igbos have migrated to the point people from these countries have become fans.

Flavour has done very well for himself, Modernized igbo

Lilimax: Tell him!

GeneralShepherd:

Forget tribal sentiment 9ice has nothing on Flavour!

I Agree and Im yoruba

Fulani boy singing in yoruba- the title says fulani but he's doesnt look fulani he's looks like a Taureg or Arab
