onumadu: Well there's a video making rounds in social media where Tinubu was completely ignored by SA president Ramaphosa while greeting other African leaders. Nigeria's president looked like a houseboy who managed to find his way among leaders. He was simply ignored. A whole president of Nigeria. Chai.
0001Lagos: South Africa president ramaphosa has snubbed tinubu as seen in a video that has now gone viral.
The South Africa president greeted other African leaders handshake by handshake but pretending like he didn't see tinubu even as tinubu looked him in the eyes but was still ignored .
This is a big disgrace to the once giant of Africa .
omoredia: MNK has called the security situation in the east for what it really is. It is a false flag operation by the APC federal government and that's the truth.
Same Kanu that said IPOB, who now constitute like 80% of the Obidient mob, should kill soldiers and steal their guns. Why una like to dey deceive yourselves.
Kalakulu: Wetin concern me with Yiboo? I'm talking about how you other yorubas have maligned us Ijebus for so long and you are here shifting post. See how unstable mental case patient Kemi Olunloyo insulted the entire Ijebu people. Awujale must hear this 😠
Of course you are Ibo. If you like spell the name of your own tribe as egbo eoboo iBoo all in the name of impersonation, na your wahala be that 🤷🏾♂️
The reason Kemi is not taken seriously is because she is not okay up there.
Kalakulu: Sharrap there, it's no secret that the other inferior yorugba groups are envious of the Ijebu people cause they don't like to be associated with yorubaas. Why did Akintola (an Ogbomoso man) connive with the North to arrest and charge Awolowo for treason? why did the political differences between the Ijebu and Ogbomoso people pitch the western region into a serious crisis that triggered the infamous "we tie" riots...you can deceive yourselves with your fake unity rubbish but history can't be hidden! Stop antagonizing the Ijebu people! it's not their fault they that are more sophisticated than the other yorubaas.
Awolowo (a Yoruba man of the Ijebu stock) remains the greatest Yoruba man of the last century.
Did Azikiwe not betray his southern brothers too and headed to the north to align with Ahmadu Bello? That was the first betrayal recorded in the history of Nigeria.
As per Akintola, he hates the ibos very much. That's why he was one of the main target of the Ibo coupists of 1966.
Go and get anyone that understands Yoruba to translate for you.
But she has a point, what is the essence of Ojude?
Na the idiots wet dey give the Kemi audience are the one to blame. When a normal person is having a chat with a mad person, people might not be able to tell the difference.
Zooposki: How can they claim all the shoreline? You think other tribes in South South are stupid? It’s called Bight of Benin for a reason, and not Bight of Ijaw.
Kalakulu: She made particularly demeaning epithet about Ijebus by calling them cultists, ritualist and jealous & greedy people.
Personally I sense there are some deep-seated animosity, envy and disdain other yoruba groups have towards the Ijebu people, probably because thr Ijebu people don't act like typical yorubas as they are more educated, wealthier and much more unique in their undiluted Ijebu identities compared to the lower yoruba groups who are largely uncivilized. I can now understand why many Ijebus don't feel they are yorubaas or accepted enough because of their success.
Kemi has mental health issues which is well known.
Obafemi Awolowo is an Ijebu man. He was the greatest Yoruba man of the last century. The same Yoruba man ibos hate most even more than Tinubu.
gidgiddy: IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, addressed the issue of Soldiers killed in Aba on May 30th, while attending court today. He maintained that IPOB is a peaceful organisation not interested in making anyone a widow, and that IPOB is only interested in freedom. One of his Lawyers opined to Kanu in the video that the whole thing was a false flag operation
Dalohad: Col. Arthur Unegbe the Igbo officer who was killed in Lagos by Ademoyega, Ifeajuna and co. in the 'Igbo' coup.
Funny country.
The only Ibo casualty out of 22 that were killed in that senseless Ibo coup.
The Killing patterns - only one of the 22 casualties is of Igbo origin, while notable Igbo politicians like the Premier of Eastern region and military personnel like Ironsi were unharmed.
