₦airaland Forum

Seriously Mercyjohnson,the actress?.I got to check Nickleodeon.com for news on the Nasdaq.
Commando ko Bruce lee ni Lol!

Gbawe:
Excellent response. Anyone who feels they must prove anything to those shouting "parasite" is just as deluded as those who make the claim in the first place. Only illiterates, feudalistic trouble-makers and ethnic jingoist would be dumb enough to demonstrate the ignorance it takes to tag anyone "parasite".

I really wonder how some of the feudalistic losers who swamp Nairaland exist in the real world where success in life, increasingly, is determined by individual talent and not race, ethnicity or what "your people" have in their soil. Anyway, this is why I call them losers in the first place. Only losers and ill-exposed clowns can write as some do on Nairaland in this day and age.

Abi.
Honestly most of them do not need any excuse really to show up with the usual lines but threads like this are really unnecessary.

Stop being silly man! show some introspection and concentrate on important stuff except if serving as an excuse to People who notoriously flood this platform with sectional rantings,chest beating and self-pity is important to you.

And when did you start respecting Awolowo "the tribalist and Minority-hater"
I wish I could be as fluid as you are cos I love the way your positions changes with daily news.
Its just a bit worrying that cos of instant gratification thatt we haven't even seen some people are being used by others  who should naturally be their followers.
If you think Gej or clark can use people like Olu falae who is miles ahead of them politically then I got waterbed to sell you in Ile oluji.lol

Gbawe:
You guys don't get it. We may be repeating the mistakes of history by not learning from it. This is a difficult period for Nigeria. There is no point at which we cannot rescue our Nation , with mature and bridge-building behaviour, from the abyss it is heading towards. Feudalistic conduct and the adoption of hateful stances against other ethnic group only worsen things.

Here again, history is playing out before our eyes. The Yorubas have done nothing but be diplomatic and steadfast in their search for solutions. Theuy keep meeting and offering commonsensical solutions all of us, wherever we are from, should back. They constantly urge GEJ and our legislatives to ensure we meet and redefine the terms of our union. The Yorubas are not putting a foot wrong currently.

As usual, and with the post above, I only see an empty desire to give a dog a bad name to hang it. It is the feudalist and bellicose sabre-rattlers who should be told to pipe down. What would be bad is for folks to start revisionism in futre when the worst has hapopened and innocent Nigerians have died. For once, I would hope Nigerians remember the provocative role we are seeing some playing now instead of regurgitating the usual vacuous nonsense against Yoruba folks .

You have been on this platform long enough to know these guys,you r better of arguing with stones,man.
How people could magnify a meeting held by jobless area boys and ascribe to it a serious political alignment is laughable and flipping silly.
If we had shut ' awa resource control president' out of Lagos and Oyo we wouldn't have this funny characters making mouth openly,they will still be in the creeks playing scooby-doo ambush on pipelines and bailing,lol.

Asari Dokubo Acn chieftain ke?Kilode! Who dash am, really funny.

You got to stand up for the core
Northerners at times because I noticed that any socio-political environment perceived as sensible and well organised within Nigeria automatically becomes an enemy to some people,especially people who are either a cultural or political minority.

Someone is finally waking up.BH would rattle the whole NE/NW and Jona won't do a thing cos a displaced core north is in the best interest of Jonathan and our latter day political power holders/Resource nationalists.
BH=Operation Iroju raye(confusion) for the northerners =jenraye she temi (enough space) for Jonathan,copying Pius Adesanmi here.

Its time you guys own this crisis and stop waiting for Jonathan. BH is more of a threat to your livelihood and the unity of our country than SNC.

Alliance led by Asari?,Really!?,the same Dokubo who's like a card carrying acn waiter or foot soldier.
The present political scene is full of people with funny political calculations.
Asari dokubo?!seriously.
I feel sidelined already lol.

Jarus:
I don't open blogs, especially those directed via foruns to gain traffic, but your creativity in putting that suspense-inducing quote, defeated my principle. I opened the blog and read the article.


One First Lady with[b] small brain [/b]and an air of intellectualism at last.

No she's absolutely smart and on a relative scale with our regular 'firstlady' she's super smart

Njare shes not Ekiti enough sef,seen her interview on TV,she was so English  not bad for a British born though.She appears very smart but she definitely will be meddling because feminists are meddlers

Are they going to survive using this model? because they are basically buying into any business who approach them for funding,isn't this risky.
The advantage of being a creditor cannot be under estimated;you get a first line charge on income.This is free money o for business because when you buy into me business(equity) then i wouldn't have to share profit (profit is very much subjective anyway) if my book says there's none.
I assume any company they fund would  allow Jaiz have representation within their decision-making framework but how many companies are they gonna be engaging at a time.

Whats the difference between interest and profit anyway(ignoring technical jargon,they are both returns.),seriously this is just an ideological shenanigan.
I need to learn about Islamic banking its becoming interestingly confusing .

I wish you could take your love for your country a little bit further by creating a formidable website to rival NL,maybe some people will take you lot serious but going by your constant childish ramblings on this platform,you're  basically looking for who to hate,who to fight and who to chest-beat on.

Even Ijaw seperatist who now have political power are not virtually spamming this platform with their needed sovereign dreams.

@Op you have a point we have a lot of people in Nigeria who want their own country but none have been able to sink/bore the rest of us with constant tirade and threads about it.

You guys should try forgive us our sins and let's have a break!
Korda!

Dudu_Negro:
Individually Me_Aboki has no power, he could be a pauper, a roadside shoe shiner  (for illustration, not saying you are one). . . but under the Northern umbrella, he acquires a collateral power that now elevates his hierarchy and access to corridors of power above that of a Professor in the South.  The collectivism is the reward. . . .there is a cost to it.  What is that cost?

My point is I don't admire the so called northern collectivism imposed by un -enlightenment and deliberate denial of education to ordinary people,you want Almajiri system in the west? It will be the cost.

Educated Nigerians are typically out of touch,give a Nigerian Uni. degree and he's likely start feeling better than the society which the acquired education is actually meant to improve and support. My point, even in the south education doesn't really mean much in politics cos a lot of educated people seem/act politically disconnected. How educated is MC Oluomo or late Adedibu?

Summary;
Northern collectivism isn't the result of political savviness but feudalism.
Education doesn't necessarily bestow political advantage on anyone,a professor is also likely to be irrelevant politically  in the south too.

You can easily force your beliefs and decision on someone/people who is/are not enlightened and even call a dog a baboon and they would believe but people who have been used to participatory decision making process will never allow such, they will always ask questions .In short collectivism becomes easier in a feudal society.

A Fashola would normally rationalise decision but decisions spurred by religious ideology aren't always rational hence its easy to setup Hisbah to kiss up to fanatics than to set up state police to protect people.

I think people give too much credit to Northern politicians by this constant talk of 'Born to rule' and this is why Me_ Aboki could engage in subtle chest beating above.Goodluck jonathan an ordinary political neophyte usurped an agreed political order and all the northern establishment could come up with in response were empty threats and bloviating.If Jonathan with no strong political machinery or history did successfully, any political-savviness ascribed to Northern politicians is just mere sweet talk.

As it is in Aso rock so shall be at cbn.
If jonathan can lavish criminals with huge contract laden with security implication why not Sanusi.
Abeg,Jona sympathise with militants and sanusi Boko haram God no vex.
Lol.

Give way please!

Negro_natns omolomo ,Ibinu!  omo Odu'a

You are obviously been used as a scapegoat because your contributions on this platform can only be rivaled by few,who else could be used to send a strong message.You allowed some of these guys get to you,Olohun!If you try see through some of the usual comments/posts they make you will realize that they are just a flipping cover up for serious and unfounded complex,put this in mind and you will see yourself ignoring them.Temper your nationalism with political correctness my friend,it's necessary.

Mr.Osewa shouldn't allow himself to be intimidated through blackmail.

Fair enough.

wesley80:
A miserable satirical piece replete with dry mischievous humour - the hallmark of a desperately miserable news source!
Ok so he mentioned 'Nairaland' (how nice of him) and seem to be one of the many that believe Reno is Beaf, sure that qualifies as some accomplishment in his books. Orontus we know, Ruby we know, Reno we know but Pius? Who's Pius?

You dont know Pius Adesanmi.Willful ignorance .Lets pretend you don't,Reno and Oronto do not come close,the only leverage life has thrown at these guys is crude from the ground and a shocking sense of entitlement.

Why are they attacking Soyinka?.Boko haram is virtually threatening their communities and livelihood but all they have been doing is to writie all sorts of nonsense about Soyinka.
You people had better stop seeing Bh issue as a Nigerian one,NO! it's not,right now it remains a Northern issue(NW,NE) and i am very sure any attack outside these areas and some part of NC like Niger.,Nasarawa states will be seriously resisted.I was shocked to me bone that after Bh killed more than 200 people in Kano the only response Kano leaders had was a prayer session,flipping hell-like! .North easterners/westerners need to take up the challenge now while the Nigerian structure is still in existence cos they will be in a huge mess if bh succeeds in tearing this country apart(i pity people like Sam nda Isaiah)

The president we have right now has been showing separatist inclination and no sign of  seriousness about tackling Boko haram.You lot better stand up to protect your communities and leave Soyinka and his Yoruba culture alone.

@katz
Ok.
I was just messing about seant,really.
Nothing against Lisabi exploits.

@topic Maybe the Ifa doctrines,its acceptance and practice unified our fathers more than wars and trade.
Though I don't do Ifa but the embrace of Ifa believe system/religion by our fore fathers may just be the source of what we know as Yoruba today.Yoruba language may just be the Ifa language originally and spread through acceptance and practice.
Just as christianity helped spread the English language and catholic-practice, the Spanish lang.

Just thinking.

Yoruba (ONDO) = AYEGBE

Omo layegbe aiye mawo o koko
Mawo temi mamowa majitemi kukona
(Ondo town?)

Ayegbe momu omo mishe mawo, Mawo ojae(in Ikale accent)
( I made my child my mirrior don't break, don't break please)

That word brought music to my head lol

Edo state is of no single strategic importance to the Southwest so I don't understand why this thread got to 32 gan sef.
Does an average southwestern know an Edo person when they see one?If you are not Yoruba and you a southerner then you must be Igbo lol!

Negro_Ntns:
. . . who was this Lisabi Agbokonla?   I mentioned a warrior that did what no other African coastal power had ever done or dared to do to the invading European - terrorized them and forced them into a compromise, rather than adopt their terms by default.   You must have mistaken Kosoko for Akitoye and Dosumu.   Repeated bombardment of Lagos by British only succeeded by an act of luck. . . and not by virtue of tactical or strategic superiority to Kosoko's defense of his domain.  You cannot talk about him without mentioning his war general - Oshodi Tapa.  First read about Oshodi then come for lesson on the commander himself.   

Negro straps on his war armor

Otunba Alao Akala's gre! gre!! great grandfather but he only bleached with dudu osun,there was no tura then

@Ufe

You people should have chilled now, you distracted us from our main aim, we could have given you free hand to plunder the yorubas in Kogi  .

Chill? i can imagine my father with huge tribal marks to show for the chilling innit?

Ibadan has no royal family anybody can be king (Olubadan)

→↔Libertarian.
Sums up the chaos Ibadan must have been then.I was wondering why late Adedibu was one of the top chiefs in Ibadan despite his 'thuggish' antecedents but now i know .
When Olubadan asked him to choose between his traditional title and politics,he fired back that all the chiefs including the king himself play politics hence he cannot choose and Olubadan cannot take his title away.

hercules07:
@Ufe

See you, of course everyone will tell stories from their perspective, by the way the Ajeles were the guys situated in your land to collect royalties and instead of you guys to just pay your 20% pere, you guys came with stubborness, after all we needed money to fight the Ilorins nau, it is all good sha, where will I get my well pounded yam from if not from an Ekiti wife and an Ijesha mum.

@ekt
We (The Ibadans) were troublemakers, of course you guys got your independence and in return Ogedengbe tormented you guys after the war .

Hercules,
its not about 20% pere but how demeaning it is for someone to part with some of his valuable belongings to a king who you probably don't know or is not that relevant to your life.
I think if we Ekitis had learned from the Ibadans and stopped living in separate small towns,converge on Ado or any other huge town,build a buffer like the Ibadans did,we could have been unstoppable.We got the spirit and the numbers

Post it online ke? You know how much time/intellect/money he has invested in this project. please!
We need proper films and that will only happen when returns are predictable.
Find time go and watch it.
Online pay-per-view,no problem.

Hercules,
Yes It should be,creation and Odu'a mythology was all I heard about in secondary school.
Our teacher was  tough by the way so I avoided most of her classes.

I grew with stories of how we defeated the Ajeles(Ibadan) and that's not gonna change lol!

How or why Ekiti won doesn't really matter,its just the winning that's the koko.
Since then we have been using that victory as morale booster to stand against modern day tyranny(Obj,fayose,Oni)

People with typical Oyo/Ibadan tribal marks usually look feisty and strong ,some may have fore-fathers who were warriors.
Some look really cool with it(Lere Paimo)

~Sauron~:
The Ndigbos must have forgotten this tactic/technique during the Biafra war.

 

Look at this Lagos man; your people were hiding behind the British when all the men were fighting. 

Eyo would have saved them with Opa anyway

tpia@:
Ufeolorun is not yoruba (or sane).

He's just pretending to be yoruba for the usual nefarious reasons.

Someone should look up his ip address- i'm sure it will match some other one/s on nl.

Han han! Momo tpia why attack me?
Am insane? where did that come from
Well you r not the first to question my identity even my family call me Gambari lol!
anyway Ufeolorun ni meha kiise ti eniyan like my mother usually say.
Back to trenches(in the thick forest of Igede-ekiti) preping.

@Dayo:I will be in lagos negotiating a truce lol! Or let me consult awon iya mi
Osoromoniga,Abiamo gboja gboro gboro,alakara oru afunije mafe ki eniyo,Amoni seni, lol!
Even Fadeyi Oloro consulted and if they ask me to go then I won't stop until I am crowned the next Soun Ogbomosho lol!

@Hercules
This time arround it will be the Ijebus,Ijesha,Egba,ekiti with. Asisting giripas from Akoko,ondo town,Akure,owo,Yagba,even Ikale and Ilaje(they will come in through Ogupa river,you know they love water)
Lol!
Ibadan shall be renamed Ekiti-Tedo,ashe Olodumore!
Haha

So our forefathers were basically kicking one another's bu.tt. Uncontrollable laughter here lol!
Ekiti-parapo:Kaakaki Oyo/Ibadan yanmije nishe laada kete renu po! Lol!
Nobody came to this world to serve another man.
Its either we have a peaceful, independent Yorubaland or we destroy /burn everything to the ground.lol!
Ijebu,Ekiti,Ijesha,Egba:you can alwys sense it,naturally defiant life style.

I thought the Akokos were involved too? Anyone?

Very interesting.
