Alariiwo:
The only reasonable leaders and elites Nigeria has are in the South West.

Would you prefer to be left alone with the North? YES or No
Whichever one you chose answers your question.

Nope...we need to be on our own...Small countries like Ghana, Togo and even Benin have light...they don't queue for fuel on Christmas days...like the giant Nigeria..

Gotze1:
, Yoruba obsession as usual. Maybe I need to ask how many igbos have been governor of any southwestern state, Even your London ragos, you keep crying how you wish to be governor but can't possible. I didn't know that Yorubas have gone to anambra or ebonyi to pick a and igbo to become ooni, alafin, deji, or olubadan before. Oh, all yorubas must have trooped to alaigbo before to be Mr ezenwa to come of be governor of ogun, beg okechukwu to be governor of ondo, beg chigozie to be Lagos governor. Wow, the last time I checked the crying babies her, you were crying how you were flogged mercilessly in Akure by Akure Indigens. Last time, I heard you were crying to the world about a small deportation by fashola. Oops, last I heard, nairaland was filled with tears that Lagos made a Yoruba language a compulsory one for everyone and says if you don't like it, you can move down to your states. Buying lands, even Africans are buying lands in Americas and Europe. Wow, you seems to be blind to see the handwriting on the wall. Last I read here, your elders were the ones that visited aare ona kankanofo. You really has brain, kudos to you.

You needed to start this response with Yoruba obsession with one Nigeria.....

oooduancalmdown:
How is the south west developing at the detriment of other regions?

I can mention FG investments in the SW without thinking about it...You can hardly name any FG investment in the SE and even SS regions..

Alariiwo:
Yorubas are the reason why Nigeria still stands today.. Take it ir leave it.

Despite the huge IGR generated from our states, we don't complain or brag of feeding anyone.
Lagos and Ogun remitts the largest revenue to Nigeria, followed by the Niger Delta region despite having Oil in large quantities.

We know you are the reason...and you have the highest GRA, bla, bla, bla...

The question is why are you ready to take blows for one Nigeria...?

Dindondin:
Yorubas developed Benin Republic. Major towns there are occupied by Yorubas of Ajase, Popo & Sabe. These are Yoruba indigenes from Oduduwa.



As fir Southwest and North are developing at the detriment of other regions, it's a fallacy. Share your points

I can pick FG investments in north and SW without thinking about it...You can hardly name any FG investment in the SE and even SS regions..

Dindondin:
Cos Yorubas are peace lovers. They believe in solidarity. If we v embraced it thoroughly since 1960, Nigeria ll v developed better than it is in 2017.

Peace lovers ni peace lovers ko?

The peace lovers that are when the FG begins to develop other regions like their own?

Check out threads where FG wants to open seaports in SS or when AIIA Enugu was started...and see how your peace-loving hypocrites reacted... What form of solidarity is that?

Alariiwo:
Leave them na.. let them continue fooling themselves.

When the likes of Alaafin, Alake, Deji of Akure etc pass a consensus that all Igbos should leave Yorubaland within 48 hrs.. I want to see the Police or zoo soldier that'll say NO.

Shameless people who never think of home or how to develop their regions for their coming generations.

Check out this thread...

Henryyy:
What a sour joke. Yorubaland has always been and will remain the most developed region in Nigeria for many years to come.
@bolded, you must think i'm a little kid who is gullible enough to believe the lies from an average ipob miscreant. WE all know how y'all "win battles" in your heads even when it clear for all to see how woefully you have lost. Get off my mentions and stop allowing inferiority complex rule your life.

You are truly childish...Except Lagos developed by the FG and all...There is no yoruba city better than the cities in the SE...The below by a Yoruba can help you. You really need to leave Oshogbo- Lagos axis to see other places...


"...During the 60s and 70s when u mention Port harcourt and Enugu in East, mention Kano and kaduna in North, then u must mention Lagos and Ibadan in west.
Lagos was the capital of Nigeria while Ibadan was the largest city in West Africa. We were a very suffisticated people then. We never had much brown roofs. We had largest professors. we also had other cities such as Abeokuta etc but now table has turned on us, ibadan is the biggest slum in the whole of Africa (if not the world) with many dirty buildings without toilets. The brown roofs are enough to make you throw up.

Abeokuta has declined from a city to a small town with slums. Other state capitals in west are mere villages like, osogbo and ado ekiti and akure. (I'd have icluded ilorin but since it has an emir as the traditional ruler, it is now owned by northerners). Here in osogbo the best hotel looks like a guest house


coming to east, you now have many cities, including ones which were not developed in 60s. They have booming cities like Enugu, Owerri, Onitsha, Aba, Nnewi, Awka , Umuahia. If u go to awka umuahia and owerri, u see modern buildings without brown roofs, u see fine hotels, shoping malls and fly-overs under construction. If u also go to other ibo cities outside southeast such as Asaba and Porthharcourt u see the same development..." Oni

This is an observation I have made over some time now.

Why are the Yorubas ready to take anything thrown at them, especially by the Igbos just so long as Nigeria remains?

They have the seaports, major international airports, major train system, best investment location...more educated and more industrious than any tribe in Africa...or so they claim...Yet they are ready to receive insults including letting others buy their lands, develop it, and even become their Obas and governors...All for One Nigeria.

Is there something they are not telling us? Why are they so desperate for one Nigeria...even when their leader Awo stated that Nigeria was never a nation. Why are they ready to give up their pride, culture, and tradition for one Nigeria?

Henryyy:
See the shameless animals lamenting. Yet you greedy garage touts have your eyes set on Lagos and other parts of yorubaland. Don't worry i'm sure op is just trolling y'all. No yoruba man would truly want to rule an undeveloped dungeon or live with such a bitter, hateful lot as yourselves. Now y'all can stop convulsing.

Do you really mean the highlighted or you are just clowning...?

I thought we have gone through threads of which region is more developed...and it has been settled..with majority of your people begging for a truce...

resurgentxtian4:
The joke is on you. I am a yoruba man and I have more honour than igbos in Nigeria.


You think Nigerians will lay low and accept igbo hate and at the same time confer them undue benefits? What is chasing you from igbo land Imhotep?

Lai Akeem...liar.

You have more honor when all your known leaders are all ex-convict from Awo, Obj, Abiola..all the way to Ganiu Adams, your new Aare Kakanfo...

Adefemiaderoju1:
Igbo people has turn themselves to clown in this country its so sad

...due to your greed...you love them and want them than Biafra..so you are ever so ready to have them whether clown or no clown...I pity you...

resurgentxtian4:
Is Nigeria not fair to you already? You come to yoruba land to succeed and you even insult the locals as poor and beneath the igbos. What kind of fairness do you need again? If you mean the Presidency of Nigeria, I am sorry you have to work and campaign for it and not by threatening anybody.

Besides, most ordinary Nigerians want igbos to have Biafra so they can be free so what what are you talking about?

[s][/s]

Liar!!!

Who are those shouting Burutai and python dance all over the places...not ordinary Nigerians...

femolii:
Do u hv sense at all osu

E pain am no be small...

Offa emirate council slave...

imhotep:
Grandson was making pronouncements from a location 4,519 miles North of Lagos

You no go kill person...

intruxive:
You mean like u did?
Jumping upandan shouting no lefelendum no erection until buratai did pythone dance on your head.
Thats not courage, thats STUPIDITY!
Watch and learn how people get things achieved

Like you "suffersticated" people achieved restructuring you have been shouting up and down since 1914, abi?

kettykings:
i whole heartedly endorse this , this is the best policy the yoruba nation will come out with in their life span, if they yorubas dont push this then they are the worst chameleons and deceivers that the world will ever know

Yoruba push wetin...? abegi!!

Na only mouth. They don the talk of restructuring since 1914...

When Kanu came they began to fly their Odua flags...even one Grandson said he will bomb Lagos everyday...Now wey them dey when the government kidnapped Kanu?

Forget these people!!

Just look at this...

Mrnairalandd:
When we get to that bridge we cross it Dimwit

That one concern you...

One Nigeria all the way....

Mrnairalandd:
I am coming up with a proposal to all our states in South West region of Nigeria-Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun state that all lands should only be leased for period of 5years to Non indigenes instead of outright acquisition. In this proposal, Yorubas ll be asked to ask for few documents before a land ll be leased to non-indigenes. A letter from a head of a family and local govt identification should be part of documents to ask for before the transaction even allow to take place.

I strongly believed we need this to prevent non-indigenes from polluting our cultures, traditions, politics and many other things.

It’s high time we come together as Yoruba people and protect our nation within a nation called Nigeria. Let’s create an Odua nation that our children ll be proud of tomorrow.

Moving forward, i will like to read your views about this proposal.

[/s]

You are a coward by half...Why not just ask for Odua nation...and nobody will bother you forever...

MrMaestro:
This is so poignant.

This is even more poignant...

To go our different ways will solve the problems by 50%..

resurgentxtian4:
u

We don’t want igbos in our cities. You can all go back to the east or to the north pending when Biafra is actualised. Everybody has begged you guys to stay back and develop the east but you refused. Even ohaneze has begged all to no avail.

Up One Nigeria...

At least he didn't blame Obama for fulfilling his pledges...unlike Naija where APC blames the past government for not fulfilling even one pledge...

resurgentxtian4:
Which one Nigeria? You must have your Biafra and leave the SW!

You never halla...people predicted that you will one day beg them to have their Biafra.

The World Economic Forum has released data showing which countries have the highest and lowest life expectancies and of the 137 countries surveyed, Nigeria is placed 133 with a life expectancy of 53, bettered by most African countries including even war ravaged Congo with 59 years. The best country to live in Africa is Algeria…
-------------------------------------------------------

...also Ghana, Togo, Benin our poor close neighbors....don't have queues almost every Christmas...Why can't the lousy giant of Africa understudy Togo, for fuel management?

resurgentxtian4:
We know whose brainchild the idea is. We are not fools.

Whose brainchild was it for the statement..." all is fair in war...starvation...?

NtoAkwaIbom:
You see this new account was as a direct result to the same thing.. Here in Sks, they are soo greedy, they want everything. For themselves and cry foul to UN, AU, ASUU, etc when you reciprocate.

...being greedy...like being the longest-serving civilian president for 8 years...and now the VP and still wanting to be VP in another party...

only the afonjas understand the meaning of greediness...

oooduancalmdown:
Stop dragging the north. Face Yoruba people alone.
Cowardly tribe

...at your own time, you aligned with the north...

Now you want us to face you alone..

Where is your rationale for this? Who is the coward here?

oooduancalmdown:
Typical IBO man. Always aligning with his enemy to fight another enemy of his. He can never be bold to face his enemy alone. Stop dragging northerners into this

When we faced our enemies alone in 1967, what did you typical yoruba man do...?

Did you coward aligned or not?

You even overtook the north and introduced starvation...

Sirjamo:
The economist of Nnewi

The OP is talking about people like you...see...

There have been stern opposition to his policies however and to his very personality as well, notably in the South East and South- South regions in the country as they are called, where he both received less than 5% of the votes cast at the last Presidential election and where he has always been sternly unpopular for his history of bigotry against the people, perceived incompetence and dictatorial tendencies. But in many other regions across the country the people have rather resolved to suffer patiently, drawing up excuses for him at will, blaming everyone including his hundreds of political appointees, anything and anybody but never the man himself.

omohayek:
Could you provide a link to the actual Economist article from which this was supposedly "culled"? Much of the language doesn't read like something native-English speakers would write, let alone contributors to a periodical with such elevated standards for writing style.

I dislike Buhari for his incompetence as much as anyone, but this particular "culling" reads more like something written by a Nigerian with a "tribal" axe to grind.

Is this false: Forget about the source for a sec...

...Buhari, 75, is being plagued with failures across every single sector in the economy, the like as has never been seen before. Less than a year into office, the economy plummeted into recession, an economy which had till then grown at an average rate of 7% in previous years (2011-2014). The nation’s currency lost 70% of its value, unemployment rose from 6.5 to 26%, commodity prices tripled across many quarters and the state-regulated premium motor spirit prices were hiked by 67% without practically anybody batting an eye....

resurgentxtian4:
You must be enjoying this internet exchanges? You will never be treated like an indigeneship in yorubaland because you are a stranger.

Even if laws are passed to protect you, your ibotic names will still give you out and Yorubas will treat you accordingly. Igbos now want to be Yorubas by force. I thought our land was full of brown roofs?

We would never reconcile with hateful igbos no matter their ploy to be more catholic than the pope.

Who cares about wanting to be Yorubas. If all non-Yorubas have more votes...you will lose of course...

We are assisting in changing the brown roofs...Travel to areas occupied by Igbos in SW and report back...
