Lol. I want to be a moderator
I want to be objective and unbiassed. Let us hear and challenge both perspectives .
I was sincerelyy hoping to get some facts and figures like IGR and allocations to states and also to LGAs so we can analyse the data. I would like to look at what the data looks like with and without the 13% derivation

CodeTemplar:
But think of it, how can any truly hardworking man with all the technological advancement still depend on others for regular help' What is the point if the average kano man produces so much children that the huge fruit of his hardwork still leaves him too poor to cater for them?
A people who reject education because they aren't catching up with the other side are clearly parasitic.

I think they are trying to drive out the poor, so does not matter if you are Yoruba or not.

stevecantrell:
k

APC see ALL Lagosians and ALL nigerians as cattle to milked dry for their own ends and to grow personal wealth.
Ambode and Tinubu dont give a rats ass about who is Yoruba or not.

MYHUBBY:
sarah ladipo was actually right in her in dependence book. tell me what's the coherent of this your misleading gibberish to this incident now


this is an unfortunate incident and the drivers wouldn't ve intentionally jam/killed the students



pls open your intellect whenever you're about type next time

Truthcat:
Na so now?

Yoruba good afternoon oo!

When two left-legged wife is in a home, everyone must feel it.

When has any other wife of a governor killed students in Yorubaland?

It's 110% certain that the killer driver of these students is ibo because, when an ibo gets in a position, only his/her fellow ibos can, no one else gets near there except their fellow ibos.

Henceforth Yoruba must make sure that no man married to non-Yoruba holds a public office in Yorubaland again. Always search for the necessary information about our leaders and make sure we vote for only a patriotic ALL YORUBA MAN (AYM) from now on.

The Yorubas simply hate to see igbos do good or succeed.

The Yorubas attitude towards igbos has always been "I will rather us all suffer together than watch you succeed".

Even though Nigeria has clearly been far more beneficial for the Yorubas, the moment they see anything good happen for the igbos, they immediately lose their mind.

In summary, igbo attitude is;

" Yorubas are doing great in this area, let's change our ways to be able to meet up and compete with them"


Yoruba attitude is:

" Igbos are doing great is this area, let's do everything possible to make sure that we stop them from succeeding"

Y0ruba:
It is not a case of Yoruba VS Igbo or Igbo VS Yoruba, what is at hand is a problem Yoruba & Hausa VS Igbo.

The early political and military History of Nigeria shows the Igbo have a superiority complex running concurrently with an almost genetic clannish behaviour.

Throughout the early History of Nigeria till now, the Igbos have been known to have never worked within the bounds of ‘partnership’ or respect ‘equality in differences’.

The Igbo wants to hijack your partnership with them and put himself or herself in charge and also discard the equality in differences and wanting things to go his/her way only.

Several important factors in Nigerian history indicate these characteristics of the Igbo:

- The early nationalist movements in Nigeria. Specifically how they brought tribalism into NYM which stalled the advancement of NYM during the period.

- The constitutional conferences before independence which Igbos on several fronts made about themselves rather than let each bloc put in what they preferred for their own region and peoples.

- The development of political parties in Nigeria. NCNC was founded by a Yoruba man. The Igbo man Azikiwe took over, hijacked the party & turned it into an Igbo party. Prior to this, the Igbo formed Igbo union with chapters all over Nigeria which they collapsed into NCNC when Zik took over. This marked start of tribal politics in Nigeria. Yoruba moved out & Awolowo in reaction formed Egbe Omo Oduduwa & eventually, AG.

- The forming of governments at Federal level. Igbo colluded with the North but tried to hijack the government from the North employing several methods. For example with their kin in government they began to flood out en masse to the North especially where they began appointing themselves into the civil service. They disrespected the North and threatened the isolation policy of the Northeen government. This influenced Ahmadu Bello’s recorded speech in an interview. In the West, they did the same thing by appointing themselves above well qualified Westerners, into positions which prompted Sir Ladoke Akintola’s speech that woke all Yoruba sons and daughters at the time to take back their region.

- The Igbo in the constitutional conferences had always wanted Unitary system of government. Their region was backwards and they needed to be able to flood other regions ‘legitimately’ & get a soft landing with jobs and career advancements. They realized they could not do this with the regional government of the day and opted for the 1966 coup where none of their own kin in government was scratched let alone killed but murdered every other person from other regions. This was the point where Igbo ruined their relationship & completely damaged the trust other regions had for them.

- After the coup, the Igbo in the North made music spiting the North, which was publicly played; made posters and printed shirts to taunt the North which were publicly displayed. Of course, they crrated chants mocking how Tafa Balewa was murdered.

- The Igbo had the chance to redeem their image by allowing a more senior army officer of Borno stock to take over but the Igbos in the democratic government of 1966 handed over to Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igbo man. Then came Ironsi who was expected to hand out justice to the coupist, of course, the Igbo clannishness kicked in and he refused. This soured the North and East relationship forever. This also started protection of indicted kinfolks in Nigerian public space today.

- The Igbo who were proponents of Unitary system since pre-independence suddenly had a problem with it. Igbo who previously didn’t have a problem with subverting military ranking system for Ironsi to head the government suddenly had a problem with the same method which produced Gowon. Suddenly the Igbo wanted regionalism & for military ranking to be stuck to in 1967 simply because they were not the one in power and the Unitary was not to their favour.

- In the MKO debacle of 1993. Of course records abound as to how Igbo supported the MKO’s loss of his substantive position as the president elect. Of course, they even had million man march in support of Abacha when he took over. In fact, when Yoruba were locked in a struggle with Abacha/North, the Igbo took sides with Abacha. This made the relationship and trust the Yoruba had with Igbo became sour coupled with the Igbo ills towards Yoruba in the 1960s

- Fastfoward to when Yaradua passed. Goodluck Jonathan could not take up his mandate as the President. He was not only blocked by the North who played hide & seek with Yaradua’s status, the North even played cards towards a re-interpretation of the constitution to keep Jonathan away from assuming the office he deserved. Jonathan’s small Ijaw group went mute, the Igbo as usual all stayed away. Yoruba championed protests that got the attention of the international community & pressured the North into giving into letting Jonathan take up the office due to him - the Igbo did not say a word. The North fell back from Yoruba’s pressure and Jonathan got in. In 2011, the Yoruba gave Jonathan much more votes than Igbos did but of course their clannishness & disrespect for equality kicked in so much that they hijacked the PDP, hijacked Goodluck’s government and made it a Igbo government so much that the one would conclude it was an ‘Igbo Presidency’.

There are more pointers but I’ll leave it at this.

The above goes to show the Igbo are a risky group to work with. It is not just the West that does not want to work with them, the North also avoids them like a plague. In fact, the Igbo kin in the South South stay away from them politically. Inviting these people into a partnership is like opening the door to a swarm of locust, they will eat at everything in their way without respect for the other side.

These facts & characteristic traits of the Igbo from pre-independence abound till this moment.

- They still flood every region trying to dominate by demanding to be voted into offices or for appointments while strictly preventing such in the region.

- They wanted Lagos in the 50s, they wanted Lagos in the Biafra war & still want to have Lagos in 21st century.

- They are still clannish. Look at Goodluck Jonathan’s government.

- They are still sneaky. During Jonathan’s presidency, they loved Nigeria. In fact, a video of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the seccessionist group surfaced on the internet where he was super pro-Nigeria. All of a sudden, they no longer want Nigeria because they’re not in power.

And it goes on & on but I’ll leave it alone.

They can not be worked with, QED.

that person u are quoting is a mallam. He/it is also the same person as kestolove95

SoldierBoy1:
ah Aunty mi, ẹ má bínú Ma...... Actually like you said when we try to play peaceful with everybody, they take advantage of it and call us cowards. Anyways sha I'm hoping for the best out of this country soon.

Thetruthsayer10:
lol most of them don’t know wat they are talking about one day is bini land second day no mans land third daythe indigenous Yoruba of Lagos are different.they don’t know that awori and ijebu who are indigene of Lagos are also indigene of other sw state like Ogun we cannot be separated by some ranting osu on nairaland

Thetruthsayer10:
stop crying the indeginous Lagosians are found in Lagos Ogun and other sw places and they are the same with the osun and ondo people so worry more about ur own enclave more

SoldierBoy1:
OK Bro, what I was trying to say is that since it's like people won't stop being tribal, I decided to address my Yorùbá guys that things weren't always like this with us getting tribal at every slight chance like how they do on nairaland. And I also told them there's no need hating on any tribe in our region in as much we dey succeed equally, instead we should appreciate their efforts in complementing the development of our region...... U don understand ba?

asha80:
there are still lots of yorubas in kaduna though

Femolacaster:
For your information, I am neither from oyo nor Ife.........so, I do not know where you got that emotions from.........you are still beating around what I have said earlier that you still based all your assertion on oyo version of Yoruba history because it is only oyo version that label ooni as a priest?abore as evident in Samuel Johnson"s account.
And why are u bringing gani Adam to this discourse? you have committed a fallacy by comparing ooni with gani adams. This is the problem i always have with all these oyonized historians. I dont know how on earth Oyos will know Ife history more than the Ifes. GANI CAN CALL HIMSELF AN OBA IF HE HAS TERRITORY TO COLONIZE.

asha80:
lol funny statement especially about kano and kaduna and moving back to sw
