May confusion continue to scatter their camps.
PMB they may rise against you in 1 way but they will flee 7000 ways.
No weapon fashioned against Mr President and his vice and Nigeria will prosper.

Nigeria's economy will survive and triumph through it all whether some 5%ters or herdsmen or BH animals like it or not.

Amen!

raumdeuter:


It would be fair to say America and UK are more prosperous than Yoruba land. The difference between America and Yoruba land is the same difference between Yoruba land and Iboland

aresa:

These ibo jokers no go kill pesin with lafta I swear...
Look here ignatus abi na ignition..
In Yoruba land, you are nithing but another migrant worker working his asx off to feed himself and his hungry family back in his poor, unproductive and economically depressed village.
You are not doing anybody any favor, you work and pay taxes to Yoruba land and not to your poor village
We built the Lekki Ikoyi bridge which is the best and the most sophisticated bridge in West Africa with your taxes while your broke and backward village have been begging for ordinary village 2nd NB for 30 years and still begging with no bridge in sight.
Your migrant worker tax money is building our roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, metro rail and so on and on..
Where is the sense and wisdom in boasting that you are working your tail off to help develop other people's land while your own village is still stone age with nothing to show for anything. You people no get sense sha..
The highest achievement for you and your co villagers is climbing the next ekenedilishuku to Yoruba land for your daily bread..
When you leave your village to seek success in another man's land, it means you and your village are poor, it means you are heading to a rich place where people have money, it means you are going to earn your living at the mercy of already successful people with money.
Common sense should tell you that you can not make any money from people people and if there is no money to be made in Yorubaland and if they are really poor in Yorubaland, you and your poor village people won;t be catching the next ekenedilishiku to YORUBALAND..Na common sense.
Come back with that nonsense when Yoruba people begin migrate to your poor and unproductive village for anything.
Poor people go to rich people for survival and not the other way around....
What freedom? That was foolishness and you got your asx kicked for that foolishness so let's hear word jare..
The fact that you feel like you don't have any freedom because of your low self esteem, insecurities, paranoia and anti social ways doesn't mean other people don't have freedom. We have freedom hence Yoruba peole always leading Nigeria socially and economically, we keep moving up while you cry and wail over silly and dumb rubbish
Do you see us shouting and killing ourselves over such foolishness? Freedom ko, independence ni..

I was just watching from the sideline. Some of us do not need to kill them off, when compatriots were already doing a good job of hammering them Left, Right and Centre.

Once again I hail the NL Oduduwa Imperial Brigade!!!!!

The worst part is even the SS people did not support Akpabio's demented comment. As usual, the Red Mudsters from the land of gully erosion poke their unwanted akpu-filled chests and odoriferous buccal cavities in a matter that does not concern them in any way.

They wanted to earn the title of VOLTRON -- The Defender of South South.

Chai! Take am easy ooooooo

Karm16:


And you still came back like my bingo after I whistled. No be you dey say bye bye?

This thread is why I say Yorubas know when to draw the line. Push them to the wall at your own peril.

I don't blame Buhari at all. Not with the way the SS and SE have vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable. And did I see "loyal to GEJ" there?
I beggi this is just self-defence.

End of discussion.

Howdy, the Calabar chic with the segzy thighs?

Don't be too hard on yourself - the West Coast mandem got love for gyaldem on the East Coast. Only the men are target practice for bullets at the shooting range lol. You need to make Yoruba babies lol.

Lol. I wish!

my dear wars were fought sometimes over a mere "erection". Read your history. To wage and win a war is most times a matter of pride. Not necessarily to acheieve anything. That is why great kings were judged by how many wars were fought and won. Because only the strong hearted could play such a deathly game. A coward is defined a a person who values life so much that he plays a fool, hoping things solve themselves amicably. Do you see how ur definition above reteriates my point on the well documented cowardice of the yoruba man ? Go and read ur history hon, there was a high ranking officer who was next in line to assume power after the coup. What happened to him. what did he do , how did he run

This ND bullshiit going on right now is more than just mere "attention". Don't you just gerrit? Things escalate and some really bad guys hijack stuff before you can say Jack bauer. These militants are now threatening Governors who try to betray them. What does that tell you? If you still need further coaching then I'm sorry I do not have more to type anymore. My initial epistle is long enough.

Eddygourdo:
could the yorubas fight a losing war that was idealogical ? Would they have the guts to do so ? I doubt that bro. The cowardice of the yoruba transcends the war, its just like their untrustwortiness. It transcends the war. Yet we both know that being untrustworthy and cowards defines their nature. Now whether such cowardice has brought prosperity to their region and could now be considered as wisdom , is topic for another day.

The bold answers your question. Only a fool that does not value life fights a loosing war just to flex muscles. And do you realize that intellectual fights are much more lethal than muscle and weapon fights?

Oh yeah! Shiit has really hit the fan! This is EXACTLY the statement Boko haram used to utter in their hay days!

My ND brothers and sisters, please continue cheering o! Don't stop cos if you do, they will turn their attacks to you too so you berra keep cheering, it's too late to borrow sense now. Just keep cheering on so they don't see you as betrayals. Me wetin consine me? I dey for Amelica dey chill so if dem like make dem burn my land to ashes, I dey kampe for here with my green card. I don shout for una tire, beg una tire, una dey form "Buhari's govt must fail" Ok nau. Enjoy the horror movie! You will now understand what the NE went through because they weren't fast enough to collectively disown BH soon enough.

KINGwax007:
I told u guys that the amnesty program will backfire!

But this is funny... That's wot av been telling people... The govt simply wants this people to fucck it up and then there will be no fear of the other world complaining abt genocide!

It's funny how every dick and Harry wished to fight with the govt like it was possible. Only a govt with a ragtag army cld be easily defeated by 1,000 arms brandishing mofos!

I'm really beginning think Buhari knew what he was doing when he asked for the retraction of troops from the region. Let them keep making a fool of themselves, the world is watching in 5D and will be able to judge fairly and accordingly when shiit hits the fan. I stay in the USA now. It's no easy when you tell people you from Nigeria and they are like "that country where you bomb your lands, cows roam about the place" etc?

This is why I'm against negotiating with terrorists because more will keep springing up.

WTF is this supposed to mean? Before you know it another one will spring up asking the FG to give them the gulf of guinea. Bunch of bitter, aggrieved sore loosers.

laurel500:


Lol @did Yoruba blow their land... Bros if they blow up the land what will happen Nobody will even worry. These people are blowing up their own land and polluting their soils but the rest of the country cannot eat because of it.

Just take it from me, Nigeria will go extinct if anything happens to Lagos.

Shym3xx:
My Oduduwa West Coasters the West Side connect stay thuggin', yo...





And they're still crippin', yo............

Shymex! Long time! I'm really feeling you Yorubas wallahi! It can be very frustrating coming from my part of the country sometimes

Leopard2A7:
Mynd44, pls take down this thread before the fighting starts.

Bia metuonu biko!

There are several other far far far much more tribalist (mine is not even close to being tribalist sef) threads on NL and I can't find you crying there. Learn how to swallow bitter pills that are good for your health.

Joavid:
yoruba's are diplomatic and analytical.

laid back and like to enjoy life, that's why they value peace.

but we north central, apart from the fulani herdsmen killing and disturbing the peace in Benue, I think the most refreshing air in Nigeria breezes through the north central.
made up of so many minority ethnic groups, what's the cause to fight anyone?

make we just manage our land dey go...

Middlebeltans are actually the most easy to live with kind of people. No such thing as so-called interest groups sponsored by greedy elites there.

kernel501:


Which state of the world practices the type of federalism were states are dependent on federal every month which we practice in Nigeria?
Stop fooling yourself with "bring lets share" editorial of yours, let every state state start harnessing what they have, stop sapping them and yet you have nothing to offer them.

I'm not preaching federalism here but rather how we can achieve true resource control without being self-destructive.

stigmond:
Nice write-up.... Akure is in ONDO STATE not in OYO STATE.

Thanks. It was an error.

As a physical and social psychologist, I study people and society behaviour. Look at the country today, Practically every region apart from the SW is neck deep in one ethnic, political or religious crisis or the other. Most are targeted against the FG so I will bring out the NC from the rest of the other regions.

The North central and the South west are the only regions that have never been known to take up arms or try to destabilize the FG in any way just because they feel "cheated" or "marginalized". Yes Yorubas may make some annoying noises when they are not included in govt making but they don't fight. The FG because of that. Most SS and SE sympathizers of militants claim they support the bombing of pipelines give the excuse of 5% statement Buhari made. Even if he did say that he won't treat the 5% equally with the rest, let's take a look at GEJ's statement of "Amala and ewedu" and "motor park touts". Did Yorubas in Lagos start bombing oil depots in Lagos because of that? It was as glaring as daylight that GEJ's govt hardly had Yorubas in high places, yet did OPC decide to take up arms against the govt? Even if and even when some Yoruba groups start misbehaving, a larger portion of the SW population would always totally disown such groups or persons immediately thereby reducing the powers of the troublesome groups. This is because terrorist groups thrive best when their host communities sympathize with them or even keep quiet.

This is the very mistake the NW and NE made with boko haram. Most kept quiet and a few even gave them kudos and before anyone knew it, BH had formed alliance with world terror groups and the host communities are the very ones now feeling the direct heat. This is the EXACT direction the SS and SE are headed or even worse because they are not only encouraging the militants and Biafran agitators but also cheering them on.

Now let's look at states with the highest and lowest concentration of non-indegenes.

Lagos - Most developed state in the country, the center and headquarters of all private sector companies
Ogun - Boasts of the highest number of educational institutions, highest number of industries, highest number of growing investors
Kano - Most developed state in the core north, very top business destination from all corners of the country. There's hardly any successful businessman in Nigeria that hasn't been to Kano.
Kaduna - Political hub of the entire North including NC. Budding commercialization, houses the highest number of expatriates and foreigners in the North.
Edo - From Ekpoma to Auchi to Okada to Benin, you'd see and great deal of non-indegenes contributing to the IGR of Edo state and even holding top govt positions. After Cross River, Edo happens to be the most peaceful state in the SS even while generating a considerable amount of IGR if used wisely.

These are other states with high number of non-indegenes but they are mostly in their state capitals

Oyo (Ibadan) - A budding city that can stand on it's own as a state has more than enough non-Yorubas to confuse you as to whether it's a Yoruba land or not. Very peaceful.
Rivers/Delta/Cross River (Portharcourt and Obio Akpo/Warri/Calabar)-Very resourceful cities visited by businessmen all over the country and inhabited by non-indegenes and high number of expatriates however, the recent rise of militancy is threatening this as oil companies are beginning to shut operations in the SS.

The poorest and least developed states in Nigeria like Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Ekiti, etc. have the least number of non-indegenes.

The facts from the above lists are definitely not mere co-incidence. There is a direct relationship between being accommodating and being highly successful. I don't know much about Kano, but in Ogun and Lagos states, you can head or own practically anything you wish without going through the rigours of all that state of origin thing most states use ranging from landed properties to businesses, and even heading parastals. The only thing you can't head are traditional stools. The typical extended family in SW and many in NC have mixture of both Muslims and Christians and the heavens did not fall.
Let me tell you something, Yorubas do NOT like Northerners any more than SE or SS do. A lot of Yorubas I've spoken to want their Odua republic as much as you want yours. But they handle theirs a lot more maturely. Instead of throwing tantrums and sponsoring or sympathizing with terrorists, they go back to the drawing board, re-strategize, and before you know it, they've landed a good deal. They are patient enough to wait for decades if need be. Look at Lagos state for instance that had been in the opposition since forever, but today look at them now. Yorubas have mastered the art of dining with their enemies just to get a big chunk from a deal because they realize that unnecessary fights only make a nuisance and laughing stock of them thereby achieving nothing because you cannot carve out a successful country by going to war. It has never succeeded anywhere in the world. The effects of the war will always come back to haunt them.

Now what's cowardly about all what I've mentioned so far? The ability to reason rationally and not allow strong emotions control how you reason when dealing with political issues does not in any way mean cowardice but simple diplomacy. Quite on the contrary, Warriors from the Oyo and Ife empires were two of the most powerful in West Africa (history class for another day) Someone mentioned in one front page comment that Yorubas can't fight. Spotting Linda Ikeji and Wizkid beef and I laughed because I remembered how some trouble making Igbo kings were mercilessly flogged in Akure and a town in Oyo state for holding traditional titles in Yoruba land! So evidently, Yorubas know when and how to pick their fights and when and where to draw the line.

What am I saying? Would it kill us to borrow a leaf from the Yorubas and learn how to relate with others politically, economically, and socially? Instead of bombing and causing unrests just because our "brother" lost elections, would it kill the SS and SE to instead go back the drawing board and figure out how best they can reclaim the FG or even if they want secession, figure out how best to go about it without destroying their own lands? If we eventually get our own country how do we start all over again after polluting our lands and waters and driving away investors from our oil? Little by little SS leaders are beginning to cry out that they can no longer fund this and that. How will there be money when federal allocation from the oiyel will greatly reduce courtesy of militancy? You cannot be cheering on terrorists and still expect to eat your cake and have it.

Do you now see that it is actually better to be a "coward" than a self-destructive warrior?

Abeymills:
Wike let d Daura President tyrant president n d northern bigots beg n withdraw its stupid statement of 5%ters

You guys just like to magnify everything this man says. What about GEJ's statement of Amala and ewedu or motor park touts? What about mama P's statement of born throway Northerners?
Did Yorubas start blowing up their lands because of those statements?
Why can't NW, NE, SS, and SE just learn for once how to control their over active emotions? You go on self-destructive sprees just because of mere statements and perceptions. Not nice at all. This is 2016 for crying out loud!

Lagos still has a long way to go for sure. So sad for my country. In this time and age we still can't get certain basic things right?

Lmao!

See beef for Yorubas! Did they send you to blow up your lands or join some foolish agitation just because your brother lost elections?
Why aren't Ondo people also blowing up their oil installations too? Because they have sense and foresight. They're not overly emotional and they can reason rationally even in the opposition. Before 2015, Lagos had been in opposition for as long as I can remember. Yet did they scatter their land because of that?

Now you're blaming Yorubas? Lol. Instead let's borrow a leaf from them. I keep saying it, the SW are the most politically sophisticated region in the country.

truthspeaks:
APC is desperately tryin to save face wen they v lost all goodwill. If d economy was gud, wld any bank or firm dream of sacking workers? Buhari sef

Oh shut up! Lost goodwill from who? The 5%? If they didn't do this now it's you that will start crying that unemployment is high forgetting that most banks have been sacking staffs every year for as long as we can remember.

Spicycat:
These bills means nothing to the common man unfortunately.

Although I want Saraki out of the senate asap, the bills are actually common man-friendly if they are implemented fairly.

Shukuakukobambi:
A little Perseverance Mr Dickson. The avengers are on their way to rescue Bayelsa.

By the time they're through with bombing every every, money will appear.

Just allow them finish dealing with buhari and Tinubu first.

Falls from banana tree
You know what? On second thoughts I've realized that the best way of solving this ND militancy crisis is to just leave them alone. Forget about our oil for now and see this as a blessing and sign from God to discover other potentials and mineral resources in other parts of the country. FG should even abort federal projects there sef cos the militants would likely go blow them up. Totally ignore the region. Let them continue destroying their lands, one day my brothers and sisters will wake up to the harsh reality that they've been doing themselves all along and it will humble them by force, then Nigeria would have discovered other revenue generating areas and would care less about our oiyel, then maybe the same militants will start begging the FG to come back and explore the oiyel.
Smh.
I'm from that region but honestly I think it's high time my people learnt a very tough lesson.

Affable0709:



I can't believe you're this ignorant. I'm not sure you read it at all. It says "brotherhood school", does it sound like a government school? and you spill trash? The whole akwa ibom you say less than 2mil population? I fit forget my hand for your face!
I can't even imagine that because of a school, you tanish the whole state and governor... and how stoopid of you to compare Lagos to AK that became 28 or so.... if you were here the last 10years you'd know that a lot has happened! bros I'm disappointed! and Yes! we got all the billions, and we'd continue to have more. Go die in your shithole!



#The thing vex me .

Brotherhood school or no brotherhood school, you can see the school is practically in a bush.
Over 65% of Akwa-Ibom state is still basically wild bush! Is that nice for a state receiving so much allocation despite it's few population?

Although I think 100 is a bit too small, but are these not the kinds of things the ordinary ND indegenes should be interested in and not all that "resource control" and "appointments" nonsense elites program us to chant whenever they want to use us to further their interests?

You people will tell me if it is your family that will be "controlling the resources" o, or if you are lobbying for appointments for yourself or family member.
Mtcheeeeeew. smh

If he's telling the truth, I feel he had to do it cos it's threatening his relationship with his babe.

Progressive01:
@ Sweetlemon, shey I told you earlier that trash from that Snailspeed (abi na Chameleonspeed sef) was a big ol lie from a useless iPod propaganda haven. The moment I read it and saw there was not a single word in quotation even though claimed it was a "statement" from "Shell spokesman", I smelled a billion dead camels all over the article.

They are just soooo angry Buhari is doing what their Ogogoro Buffoon couldn't do and would try whatever means possible to sabotage it.

Shame on all of them.

My dear, I don't know why I fell for that particular one o.
We thank God sha.

The link below shows clearly, contrary to the rumours that flew around a couple of days ago, that Shell is fully committed to the Ogoni clean up.
I'd like to use this opportunity to advice my people to please be careful with the news you hear these days as there's so much propaganda in the air.

Personally, if Channels Tv or online site does report something, I take a new piece of information lightly as channels has proven to be the only Naija news outlet that delivers unbiased news. The rest are either pro or anti APC/PDP to an extent.

May God help us.

God Bless Nigeria
God Bless and continue to grant our President and his team the wisdom to lead us right.
