Why are they so scared, all buhari needs now is more mistakes till 2019 January. And Atiku would collect the presidency from his hands. APC should know now that no more mistakes buhari’s govt must be its best if not it's going down. Atiku I know has dollars to spend and he would also be using the press to his favor. Let d game being.

Am gona drink me a cold glass of democrats tears.

All the tribal war on nairaland will stop, and we will have a more peaceful community

85% of the tribal war on nairaland is between igbos and yorubas

It was from a guy commenting on Reno omokiri article about ijebu ppl

Please permit me to share an insight we were taught by renowned West African historians at the then University of Ife, Ile Ife in the 1980s, regarding the 'modern' history of the Yoruba and Igbo: that the Igbo and Yoruba were the same people until about 6000 years ago!

As astonishing as that may seem, this academic thesis was supported by linguistic evidence, although I doubt if this line of research has been continued over the last four decades.

What I am further aware of, however, is attributable to serendipity. As it happened, an amateur linguist (he was actually an American-trained pharmacist) who was our neighbour in Lagos in the 1980s regularly shared with us excitedly, findings from a self-funded study he was conducting on the Yoruba and Ibo languages. Having no academic training in linguistics and totally unaware of what university-educated historians knew, he boldly declared that he had stumbled on linguistic evidence that Yoruba and Ibo were actually from the same 'root' language. This gentleman, an Ibo, was working on a book about this at the time. I do not know if he ever got round to publishing it, as it would be a delight to read what he uncovered from his study.

At the time, his taxonomy of Yoruba and Ibo words that appeared to come from similar root words was fascinating. I clearly remember words like 'Onu' (Igbo) and 'Enu' (Yoruba) both meaning 'mouth'; 'Akuko' and 'Okuko' which both refer to 'Cock'; 'Iba' which translates to 'fever' in both languages and so many other words I cannot immediately recall. Linguists who are well-trained to practise such language games would, of course, know how to explain the exercise he was doing.

Apart from the possibility that Yorubas and Igbos may actually share a common lineage dating thousands of years, one thought that has always stayed with me is this: if this theory were to be empirically proven linguistically, what could this mean for cultural, social and political relations? What about its implications for political integration in Nigeria? What could it mean for the deconstruction of the seeming ethnicisation of politics or put differently, the politicisation of ethnicity by sections of the Nigerian political elite? Surely, a proven thesis of common genealogy between Yorubas and Ibos could have profound implications for the way they see each other. It would be good to see such research funded and published.

Cucumber girl u see as ppl dey give other ppl name.

Tinubu just having his way in d south west.

Pls is anyone having issues with bank transfer lately?

It obvious for all to see that the APC is unstoppable in 2019, but after 2019 comes the problem. Buhari is a messiah in d North. Uniting them all followed by the agreed partnership with the west. At 2023 the APC has zoned the presidential slot to the east. Which I don't see key members of the party agreeing to. Take a look at d collective anti igbo sentiment both displayed by d North and we from d west. I don't see an Hausa/fulani man or average yoruba man agreeing to a igbo presidency. I think d real defining moment for Nigeria's unity is 2023 because even if the north finds another messianic candidate d west might not be interested again d the partnership, while d east would be laying claim to right of the presidency. What do u guys think.

Kkk

OK na let's hear d explanation of oshimole as d NWC said no election held today. But Ambode should be ready to concede defeat and collapse his campaign organization to Sanwo-olu campaign team.

So I guess Ambode campaign organization is about to be collapsed into sanwo-olu campaign team.

So when is d election now, it seems tinubu is about to be shown regional and national politics are 2 diff things.

Oshomole is working d guy takes no poo. Tinubu about to be show that regional and national politics are 2 different things

Oshomole is working d guy takes no poo. Tinubu about to be show that regional and national politics are 2 different things

Oshomole is working d guy takes no shit. Tinubu about to be show that regional and national politics are 2 different things

Shior all dis tory tire person d thing come baffle me queueing behind a person picture dis thing surprise me oo

FarahAideed:
It is this same Sanyo Olu that shall demystify Tinubu infront of all of us ...Mark my words !!!!!

Yes I feel thats what's going to happen. He has laid d foundation for his removal or buhari deals with him after 2019

Dis one eyed frog

Jagaban borgu

As in ehh dem go beat Ambode like small boy.

Oboy Ambode is a gonna

No where in d article it says no agent yet for ambode

Men tinubu looking smaller day by day

K

There is no way that can be possible today.

At least he his honorable, unlike some politicians.

Let tomorrow come but I bet buhari has told tinubu u must not jeopardize Lagos votes. Let peace be. One thing dis has shown is Dat d jagaban can be challenged dis is d first step.

Men u are foolish I hv been educated THAT APC has over a million members in d state. Ambode controls d police d CP is his childhood friend. Tinubu agbero makes trouble police shows dem d way out. I just confined mow Dat even ambode is popular on d street. To my understanding a large sum has been shared to d alayes, they will definitely slug it out. And even a mere victory is not good for jagaban because he would now be seen as a human who can fall. Just like APC victory in osun. If Ambode looses and say he goes to PDP all he needs to do his dismantle all tinubu boys and empower his men serious money would go around to all assembly members to my understanding tinubu collects about 4billon Naira every month from lag imagine that money goes away. Imagine ambode starts revealing all secrets of tinubu. Jagaban knows this his d biggest fight of his life while he has a slight edge of victory mere victory is not enuf as he would be seen to be challenge able. Sanwoolu does not look like d meek type mind u. Once he himself smell money ND power I see more problems for tinubu.

Talk is cheap. Heaven helps those who help demselves
