akaahs: Try always get ur facts correct before showing ur ignorance to the public. Go check, we have never supported Buhari from 2015 till date, he has not won all the elections in our side.
haffaze777: You're the one that need to update yourself, have you heard that NATO is also in support of Pandora man?comrade we not to campaign again because Pandora man is president already.
Eggxactly... Have you heard that he was at Downing Street the other day? Met with the cream la cream of British government. You are perfectly right. Even NATO is tired of Nigeria's looter political class. They all want a decent politician like Obi to give the country a similitude of sanity. Imagine all that wealth being looted? Who wouldn't support an Obi presidency?
haffaze777: What's this one saying? Don't you know that the entire Yoruba state are on lock down for Obi? Our brothers from benin republic and togo are also not left out.
Very correct. Many Yoruba are already Obified. Did you not read the news that Ghanaians are also backing Obi presidency. It is beyond a Nigerian thing. Africans want to see Nigeria stop moving in circles due to bad leadership. Obi is a global phenomenon. Get that in your mind and start campaigning for progress.
haffaze777: Pandora criminal will win the listed below state
Osun *Ekiti *Ondo *Oyo *Ogun
At the rate Yoruba progressives are getting Obified, this could happen. I'm sure even you would be convinced of the sterling qualities of Peter Obi soon. Then you can join the mobilization to free Nigeria from inept leaders of PDP and APC.
Gohs: I am a full-blood Yoruba — my entire generation sef.
I am totally OBIdient.
In fact, my family members are also OBIdient!
This is just the reality of things
Apart from Edo and Taraba, the leading campaigners for Obi presidency are Yoruba youths. Who no like better thing? Tribalism doesn't put you in a different economy. You can ask all those almajiri that voted Buhari in 2015.
Mysticwebb: Again? After the current Muslim Muslim ticket has greatly dealt with Southern Kaduna and the Churches. The problems with Muslims is that they easily do to you what they can never take from you. When you give them chance they will try to suppress you perpetually. All they know is dominance. If we give them such chance at the federal government, Southern Kaduna fate will be a child's play to what they will unleash across the country.
Christians in Nigeria are not wise. Wasn't it Nigerian Christians that carried Buhari's election on their heads in 2015? Even against a Christian, these same southern Kaduna Christians and Benue Christians being massacred today lacked sense
Here is my honest prediction for 2023 presidential election states victory for Mr Tinubu, Atiku, Kwakwanso and Obi respectively. A state by state victory chart.
States Likely To Be Won By The Four Major Presidential Candidates
Jlow2: First oba of Lagos was oba-ado a Benin prince, take it to the bank.
You understand the history they're trying to distort. Just go to Lagos and ask any Awori, they'll tell you that the Yoruba have practically swamped them. Aworis are from Bebint
Ttalk: May gods fire your generation for delving into history you know nothing about. You will continue to fail just as you fail in your attempt to bring out separation where does not exit.
Enrol into LASU you'll be thought history of Lagos in GNS.
Your stupid distortion of history will ruin your generation and ease you from the surface of the earth.
E shock you abi? The realization that Yoruba land is landlocked? Aworis own Lagos. Yoruba na from Ijebu to Modakeke
AmehTsaev: Lagos belongs to no tribe if you really think about it, we are all migrants to Lagos with some earlier migrants than others...
Eggzaktly.... nevertheless, for record purposes, the Aworis are the first settlers, not Yoruba. The way Igbo migrate to Lagos is the way Yoruba migrate to Lagos and even forget their Yorubaland. So no one should say people are trooping to Lagos except the Aworis
The Awori are 100% Yorubas and from Ife Originally
On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area including Seme Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War .
The Oyos had initially also taken Allada ,Ouidah and Cotonou at the time but the King of Dahomey had managed to take them back while the Oyo were very busy fighting the Power drunk Afonja and the Fulani at Ilorin
The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns aare oona kakanfo oyabi had led the Oyo Army
The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland including Iddo Island and all the Territory from there to Abeokuta Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home.
The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan
The Ijebu Army Controlled Everything East and North of Lekki including Victoria Island
All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was Awori Yoruba with Oyo roots
Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878,
Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were also fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos
Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade
The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans
Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today
Also Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878
The Awori have inhabited Lagos since the 13th Century when they migrated from Ile Ife led by Olofin Ogunfuminire who was a great grandson of Oduduwa and a nephew of Oranmiyan who headed to Benin around the same period
The Land on Which Isale Eko of the Oba of Lagos is located belongs to the Awori Yoruba Aromire family till today
Aromire was one of the Sons of Olofin Ogunfuminire
The Otun Ekiti People migrated from Lagos in the 15 th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos
It was the returnee Egba Slaves who had been Converted to Christianity at Sierra Leone Bishop Ajayi Crowther included that asked the British Queen Victoria to invade Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in order to finally end the Evil Slave trade
Bishop Ajayi Crowther had met with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert her Husband at Windsor Castle over the Issue of how to finally end the Slave Trade in Lagos on 18th November 1851 and the Royal British Navy Bombarded Lagos one month Later on 26th of December 1851.
Bishop Ajayi Crowther who was originally from Osogun near Oyo had himself at age 13 been sold to a Portuguese Slave Trader at Lagos for a bottle of Wine and some Tobacco leaves
Capt Labulo Davies who later married Queen Victoria’s adopted Daughter Sarah Bonnetta (Aina) originally from Ilaro , was on the British ship that Bombarded Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in 1951 and Oba Akitoye whom the British had restored to the Throne of Lagos had first met the British Missionaries at Abeokuta while he was exiled there as Abeokuta was also Oba Akitoyes Owu mother’s Hometown he had promised. to end the Evil Slave Trade if the British helped to restore him to his Throne which his nephew Oba Kosoko had Usurped with the help of some local and Portuguese Slave traders after Oba Akintoye had driven the Portuguese Slave Traders out of Lagos 6 years earlier
Slave Trading was Oba Kosoko’s Business and his Slave Market was at Ereko Market of Isale Eko on Lagos Island where he also sold European made Goods
Ok listen to the Oba of Lagos Himself At 25 mins of the Video below what exactly did the Oba of lagos mean when he Said "I am a Yoruba monarch" ?
The Awori are Bini that settled first in the area. Their language was influenced by the Yoruba who are claiming they are Yoruba. Some of us have researched this history. Awori are definitely not Yoruba despite the claims on Wikipedia.
christistruth01: Apart from Lagos Ondo Ijebu Coastline even Seme and Porto Novo Coast in Benin Republic are Yorubaland
God Almighty went Overtime and Overboard in blessing Yorubaland
We must Thank and Bless him for all his Mercy which we don't even deserve
Ps : You do know the Itsekiri in Delta State are Yorubas too don't you ?
On the day God Almighty was sharing out the Sea Coasts, he used his long Tape Rule when it was the turn of the Yorubas God was in such a Generously magnanimous mood on that day We must just Bless and Thank him
See how you're lying. When did Badagry become Yorubaland that you're even claiming Seme. Don't worry, the Aworis and the Ogu of Badagry have all become Yoruba because you want to claim coast. Keep attaching by force I'm sure you're also claiming Ijaw land in Ondo as Yorubaland. You can only deceive the uninformed.
Badagry do not even speak Yoruba
The native language of Badagry is Ogu,a dialect of Aja and similar to the Fon language
StaffofOrayan: Since the days of Azikiwe, una eyes no comot SW!
We are talking of Aworiland, not SW. If Awori or Bini are not complaining, why must you complain that people are coming to do business in Aworiland. I do not mind you complaining if you do not want people to come and do business in Yorubaland, but not Lagos. Only Bini and Aworis have that right.
Cubalabloo: What do you intend to achieve from this argument?
It should be obvious enough to you. For those saying others are trooping to Lagos, when they too are trooping to Lagos are being hypocritical. If anyone should complain that people are trooping to Lagos, they should be the Aworis, who own Lagos and the Binis, who own the Aworis. Clear enough?
If you go through history, you would understand that Lagos is Aworiland. The Aworis are from Benin. So the Bini have more claims to Lagos than any other tribe. In fact, if not for colonialism, Lagos should be a vassal of the Benin kingdom.
This is for those claiming that Lagos belongs to them. Yorubaland is Ile-Ife and Oyo and co. It doesn't extend to Lagos.
Afonja are already wailing when campaign never start. These Afonjas hate Nigeria, especially the South.
I wonder when Lagos became Yoruba land. Even the Aworis (Benin, whose prince founded Aworiland) is quiet only for Yoruba Muslims to be making noise.
Why do Afonjas hate anything good?
Well, Peter Obi for president Remember, if an Afonja says it's good, it's actually bad. If an Afonja says it's bad, it's actually good. So, if an Afonja said Buhari is the best thing after Ofada rice, you're seeing the result. Now they're saying Tinubu is the best thing after groundnut cake, you can guess the rest.
Vote Peter Obi for progress Vote Peter Obi for a secure country Vote Peter Obi to rescue the poor Vote Peter Obi to avoid waste of scarce resources
Jking20: You haven't told us how PO will save Nigeria from hyperinflation, the only thing I sight is a fallacy of Argumentum ad Hominen.Are u even aware that inflation is a global issue now?? Pls pull down this shit, before someone capitalize on it.
Global issue, yet prominent in non productive countries. With Buhari's government fixated on borrowing, common sense should tell you it won't augur well for the country using a large amount of its earnings for debt servicing. PO is the most competent to help Nigeria avoid becoming another Zimbabwe or Venezuela
