Which state are you from ? Tell us, don't be ashamed to tell us

freeze001:
You're pretty slow on the uptake but I won't go into that with you right now

booblacain:
I do too, but don't you think voting for a particular candidate just to spite th Igbos will expose you to more ridicule. One of the pride of the Yorubas is that they are seen to be more enlightened than others in the way they play politics, are you going to put a smear on that reputation simply because you want to spite the Igbos. I just believe that you are being naive and careless not to see you are being lured into a trap. It will be a stain on the reputation of the Yorubas that won't go away for a long time.

Stand for what you think is right. The mannerism of the Igbos should not dictate, directly or indirectly, the future of the Yorubas.

freeze001:
Since 2015 right? That's cos y'all were revelling in your supposed victory and political sophistry then but now all the perfume u Yorubas, courtesy of Tinubu, used to whitewash the walking corpse has been overwhelmed by his malodorous stench.

You refused to listen to the wise who by lookin at the ear of the corn already know whether it's mature and fit for consumption yet u are complaining that they are laughing at you for purchasing a maggot and disease infested corn. The right attitude is to ask them to teach you and join hands in making sure u don't make such avoidable mistakes.

freeze001:
If Buhari has not performed worse than Jonathan then why are u complaining of him? U think it's all about appointments? What about the general outlook of the country and the incessant killings? You'd rather endure that in the name of earning some respect? What respect is there in being murdered and ur homeland plundered without let? That Igbos will not 'win' abi?

This myopic mindset only comes from one who doesn't even know his enemy. In warfare,u must study and know ur enemy before you take him on. Go and study the Igbo,his principles and what makes him tick before u declare him an enemy.

ideologies:
Tinubu is smart enough to know what he is doing, so chill.

If everything goes as planned and buhari wins, he will be heavily compensated.

This is another opportunity for him to prove himself and build relationship with the north just like OBJ.

But Obj is fading away.

lozanni:
No, it Animashaun and Co who do the actually stealing and hand them over to the Pastor.
However, as a Pastor, the man falls hands seriously.

booblacain:
So in other words, you are allowing the igbos to push your buttons.

lozanni:
Wrong! It's the developers and their sophisticated friend.

freeze001:
Really? So why were u all attacking the SE/SS especially the SE for supposedly putting all their eggs in one basket and voting GEJ? Were u ppl not saying that anyone Igbos support will always fail? That they're not politically sophisticated like you? Was it not our civil right then?

texazzpete:
1. Let me correct this impression. This law is highly unlikely to affect me personally. My university days are long over (and certainly I'd have never gone to any of the provincial tertiary schools in Lagos). I also have limited exposure to Govt agencies. I am merely speaking out against what I perceive to be a misguided law.

2. Any development that could not have been achieved while speaking English...e no go work with Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa languages.

texazzpete:
What a backward and retrogressive law.
If you want to 'preserve the Yoruba language', why not restrict this only to Yoruba people? Why is this not optional?




This is hostile to others, and disregards the fact that we have a national language in English to eliminate issues such as this. Essentially, this law makes it legal to go to a meeting in the Civil service and have the entire meeting conducted in yoruba language, to the exclusion of any present non-yoruba speaker.

Heck, you can even no use this law to hold lectures in LASU in 100% Yoruba.

Imagine if every tribe copies this and you then need to have a credit in Igbo language to even apply to Imsu


Disgraceful that there are some people here supporting this shite.

Mynd44:
Tetiary institutions in Lagos

This is vague. Does the law mean all tetiary institutions in Lagos which includes Yabatech and UNILAG and other private institutions or Lagos state owned ones only?

Can this law be held in federal secondary schools like Kings and Queens college?

jaymichael:
This herdsmen stories is something I can't get my head around. I can't say for certain that some herdsmen haven't attacked some people but when it was reported that some Fulani villages were burnt and many of them killed and their livestock stolen, these same people driving these negative narratives were here gloating, blabbing and happy, many saying that the fulanis should be wiped out, till now the killers haven't been found nor the victims receive any justice. Where then is the moral decency for them to cry blue murder if their own sense of justice is warped and selective. The problem isn't the president supporting one group against another because PMB can never do that. The problem is the failure of security agencies to ensure the security of lives and properties. I say this because the President did not even visit the Fulani victims killed in Benue, Taraba and Nasarawa states and all over Northern states in cases that dates back in time.
I have had experiences with herdsmen on my small island that I stay. Even though I have incured some damages buy the actions of their cattle, it wasn't intentional. These guys are peaceful and easy going. We the islanders haven't rustled their cattle before, and they haven't shown any Violent tendencies ever. I have a little garden in my compound where my family planted pawpaw, moringa, scent leaves, plantain, shoko leaves water leaf etc etc. Whenever they pass my compound, they guide their cattle from trespassing into our garden. Sometimes I peep through the window of my parlour without been seen and without them knowing if anybody is at home as my compound is always very quiet.
The only issues I have is with my damaged plumbing Pipes which their cattle accidentally damage. I saw one one afternoon after his cattle kicked one of my pipes burst, he apologized profusely and offered to repair it, I had to tell him to forget it as he was genuinely remorseful and it was not an intended action. Not all of them are even fulani, some are from Kwara and they speak Yoruba better than some villagers sef. If you are friends with them, they give you free fresh milk without collecting a kobo from you. I do engage alot if them in friendly conversations. Where these "killer" herdsmen emanate from is what I don't understand.

horsepower101:
Its like you still don't get it. Igbos don't give a damn if buhari wins again. They are fully ready for it.

I personally want him to win again. God has been using him to do wonders in Nigeria.

jaymichael:
I don't even read these herdsmen stories again. There are more lies than real events now. Some weeks back, FFK shared pictures of that little boy whose eyes were removed by ritualists some years back in the North and termed it herdsmen removes little boy's eyes. He was called out by by online commenters till he had to take down the pictures and block some people for their comments. Yesterday's was the picture of a burnt pregnant "corpse" he displayed. No accompanying stories to prove that the corpse was murdered by herdsmen or even murdered at all. These days, no mentions of cows grazing, no record of conflict whatever, just random pictures that could be anything and could be got from anywhere then the selling catch phrase "herdsmen".

resurgentxtian4:
If igbos continue hating on yorubas, Buhari will do his 2nd term and nothing will happen!

Minemrys:
bro, he says tinz that bring him attention. Giving a mad man that said attenti0n he is l0oking for, means 0ne too is mad.

ycat:
I said it that, all the "Yoruba are Hausa's slaves" comments are borne out of envy for the relationship between the two. Ibos actually wish they are the ones that are close to the north, since 50 years of arselicking didn't take them anywhere but want to die over few years of our relationship with the north. If any SW state had done what Ebonyi did, oh my! It would have been a world war here with all kinds of comments straight out of hell, conveyor belt would not be dropping these people fast enough on this thread, the topic would have been 20 pages already. Thank goodness, people have ways of showing themselves.

QuotaSystem:
This is factually false - a plain lie.

Minemrys:
funny thing is this same FFK is in support of Atiku presidency. Is that n0t hypocrisy? If it isn't, i d0n't kn0w what else is.

ekesol:
Fulani always rule in Nigeria because the Yorubas of the south always wants to be stooge to betray igbos in all ramification. Eg pa Awolowo of A.G and presently some of the leaders.
