Ok na. Let's watch n see
24days to go


I just get pissed when I hear VP this, VP that (if that's all the south will get)

I didn't mean to call all Yorubas slave but one thing I noticed is that most of the people that don't care if the north keeps the rest of the positions are Yorubas because of almost useless VP position. It makes little sense to me

omenka:
Same way he accused me of posting "tribalistic" comments, saying every last posts of mine he read were tribalistic in nature. I have yet to delete or edit any of my posts, and challenged him to quote such posts of mine for all to see or cursed be his family and his generations yet unborn. And the curse shall follow him if he can't post those comments he accused me of making.

Rose2014:
North and south
South had presidency, North was allowed to play along.

But under Buhari, it's all about the north but Yorubas refuse to see it. All u see is VP this, VP that.

Btw no amount of insult from u can change the obvious

Leaders of tomorrow indeed

Rose2014:
Pained ke

I'm just feeling for you Yorubas with your slave mentality

KriTic24A:
My brother, leave them alone.
The dont't have time for decent arguement with a view to learning from it.
Anybody whose view does not agree with their warped mind gets insulted.
Were they not there when their HERO appoints an 80 years old to head NPA?
But to them GMB is senile at 72?
Let them continue to bother themselves with somebody's 'massive cleavage'; 'must see picture' on NairaLand.

As you lay your bed, so you lie on it.

While other tribes are sending their kindred to go teach their language in an un-benefitting countries, Igbos are sending their kindred to go bring back wealth as usual to Igbo land...kudos UMU IGBO

PointB:
@Topic,

If Yoruba feel marginalised, they should hold ACN responsible for siding with Tambuwal to deny them of the House Speakership slot. GEJ did all he could, but the myopic ACN leaders decided to sell to the highest bidder - the IBB-Atiku backed Tambuwal.

'I dey laff oooo,' says Obasanjo who did not deem is necessary to fix any road during his 8 year tenure, but wanted a third term!

Me too I dey laff ooo, but in marginalisation

omoeso:
Enough said, never knew Ibos hate yorubas this much. So, most of the Ibo friends I have are just plutonic friends and deep down they hate me so much, Wow. Anyway, if Ibos hate hausas so much dat, or is hausas that hate Ibos so much that every slight opportunity, they are killed in their hundreds up in the north. And come down west they hate the yorubas this much, So, who actually do they tolerate? And to think about it, who gives a damn about marginalization in the first place. How did OBJ personally affects my life as an individual? Same questions goes for GEJ, how has his government brings succor to an average man walking down the road in SE? My brothers, every politician to himself and himself alone. Makes to difference to me. If OBJ did not improve the welfare of the yorubas during his tenure as president, how much has GEJ done to improve the living condition of the SE/SS, I beg, everyman for himself!!!

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana

'Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.'
- Machiavelli

“It is not worthwhile to try to keep history from repeating itself, for man's character will always make the preventing of the repetitions impossible”
Mark Twain

It is quite amusing to find out that a topic about 'Yoruba Elders' complaining to Jonathan is drawing so much bile from most of the ibo posters on this topic. I hope that the hatred for the Yorubas shown here does not mirror the hatred shown towards Yorubas by Ibos on the streets of Lagos. If this bile is already being expressed on the streets of Lagos, I can safely assert that the grounds of the 60s Kano pogroms against the ibo that led to the civil war has been prepared, only waiting for a trigger or match to light up a conflagration.  With the rate at which ibo teenagers are looking for trouble here we might have a repetition of history coming up, probably triggered by something as silly as a bloody quarrel between a Yoruba man and an ibo man on the street Lagos and people capitalizing on that to release their pent up frustrations against the ibos. The only difference I can foresee between the impending history and that of the 60s is that we do not have strong regions today as we had then and there is no Ojukwu or Awolowo figure today. Coming conflicts (if it happens) might not lead to an all out civil war. It will only lead to a regime change with the 'military hawks' blaming the growing insecurity for the need to strike and restore order. Thereafter we'll start an endless repetition of our most recent history.

OoduaVanguard:
You are a liar! No true Yoruba son would utter that statement about Awolowo therefore I refuse to believe you are Yoruba. In fact you are a bas*tard, an Igbo e-rat using a Yoruba handle, your handle was created yesterday to create confusion on here. I can smell your kind from afar. Omo ale.

@stabillo

Yea, in old Havana in Cuba, the Yoruba or Lucumi traditions, religion and language are
still very much alive.

Prof. Wole Soyinka is very popular in Cuba as well as the current Ooni of Ife who first visited
the house of Oodua or Yoruba descendants in
1987 and later in 2001. He was received by
Fidel Castro on both occasions.

For over 15 years now, I have read extensively
about the Yoruba Descendants and religion/music in Cuba and I can say that Yoruba
influence is even stronger in Cuba than in
Brazil because the Spanish in Cuba were less
repressive to Blacks on the slave sugar
plantations and estates.

I must also add that in the Matanzas Province
of Cuba, the Efik and Ibibio culture is still
alive via the Ekpe society, and art!

Up to 175,000 Yorubas from Ijesa, Egba, Oyo, Ketu in Benin Rep. were shipped to Cuba
in the 1800s alone and almost an equal
number to Bahia in Brazil!

Words such as ere, ijo, ile for example are noticeable in the tropical music of Cuba.

Last but NOT least, the wealthy Nigerian
billionaire business mogul - Ambassador
Antonio Dehinde Fernandez's Yoruba ancestors
returned from Cuba and settled in Lagos Island
like most Yorubas who returned from Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad, Sierra Leone, and USA via Liberia
did.

PS. The Alakija family patriach of Egba-Brazilian
returnees was Sir. Adeyemo Alakija who dropped
his Brazilian name of Placido Assumpcao after
reading law in the UK in 1914. He was a very rich
man in his days and co-founded the iconic
Daily Times. He was the first Nigerian to
be knighted by the British royalty.

1. Yorubas are very tolerant
a) We celebrate CENTURIES of peace between Islam and Christianity and Yoruba religion in Yorubaland
