Lol.

I know Semid4lyfe and mukina used to be supermods, don't know if they're still there.

But this is more of a playground where folks can come in and paste whatever they see on the internet. And get everyone to discuss it, rather create new threads everywhere. It also helps someone like me to stay away from all the other toxic threads. They can't kill it here.

The Afam monkey is just a miserable oaf. Have you seen that guy's picture? He looks like those starving Somali kids, with an extremely big head. Very ugly and dirt poor riff raff. The guy is cursed and he'll perpetually be miserable till he goes 6-feet under.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Somebody is angry.

Aare, please change the title of the thread. I think the title gave them a perfect excuse.

Please change it, make sure you add politics to the title.

Something like "Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics".

We need our own equivalent of radio biafra. Not the type that will be bashing everyone but re-awakens our people.

We need to wake up. The future of this country is not bright at all.

Seun, OAM4J, please move this thread back to politics section where it belongs.

Enugu, Anambra, Imo and various Biafran threads are still in the politics section.

Thanks as you do the needful.

Thanks quimicababes, you've contributed immensenly to this thread.

To me, that table is an eyesore. Osun State sits in the last on the table. My dear Osun State.

Aregbesola, may Sango punish you this morning for putting that state into mess. Your economic team you brought from Lagos did a very bad job. Osun guys have been running that state successfully until you brought your quack economists from Lagos.

Senate need to pass a law that will take solid minerals from FG's non-exclusive list. Illegal miners are smiling to the bank now while states are languishing in poverty.

FG need to encourage states to look inward. That will control illegal mining and push state governors to look for investors because they know what are going to get monthly from mining of the solid minerals in their states.

Say 35% for FG, 35% for Investor and 30% for States(20% for States and 10% for LGs).

Something needs to be done urgently before Nigeria becomes another Zimbabwe.

Ambode, ajebo governor.

Aareonakakanfo:
Iya Agba man gats discuss about the whole Commonwealth you know

Why are you being unaccommodating

Iya Agba stop the discrimination

It is indeed part of the Commonwealth.

I have been laughing here.

You all wan't to remind Ileke of those days, you want her to shift focus from the Professional/Educated field(according to shymexx) to somewhere else.

Please, don't chase her back to Romanis thread oooooooo.

Laugh Wan Turn My Belle



Truth be told, nothing is sweeter than awon two boys and the girl. I can place my annual salary on Ukwu. I can go to war because of Ukwu. Lord, I love Ukwu.

IlekeHD:


I don't wanna be rude, but I think we should all go back to viewing ilekeh as a-sexual....as in no gender.

Shym3x and co, please let's not turn this thread into a my ex is a non-yoruba bytch.....and azz/boobs. That's just a request from a sour old lady. huh.

You're scaring me off.....literally.

Hahahahaahhaha

Iwo nikan in the midst of Lyons(remind me of that Empire movie, interesting movie).

You are save Ma'am, nothing do you. Don't tell me you are afraid of Awon Boys. You wey be Bawse of Romanis lols.

Not much difference if you ask me.

Yes Bawse.

Opari re ni o.

Those lines make me miss my maternal Grandma! Neighbours used to call her "Mama Ijesha" way back in the good old years. She spoke nothing but the Ijesha dialect. I remember how she used to recite my Oriki while I was growing up. Back then, I'd be like, "This old woman should shut up, abeg". In retrospect, I was a Fool! Today, I'd give my all to have her recite those soothing lines into my ears.

I just dey o, Bro! I'm always off and on due to the constant bans. If I catch those mods ehn...

I see you are fluent in the Ijesha dialect. That's cool! Me sef sabi small. There's this Yoruba actor called "Baba Ijesha". I love watching him as I learn the Ijesha dialect while I do.

Baba Re A Gbe.....Omo Yeye Mii.


I'm not really fluent at speaking our dialect jarey, I wish I could speak fluently. I grew up at Ife, I speak Ife dialect more than I speak Ijesha.

Oodua A Gbe A Oooooo.

Have a blessed day Bro.

IyaIode:

Whatever decision we take (new party or remain in the Apc) It is looking good for us, forget the "loopsided" appointments ( that gave us the Firs). The Yoruba leaders of the Apc are smart men, they have been there before (june 12) and there is a reason why they nominated heavy weight for every position they got.
Fashola, fayemi, osinbajo, fowler, lai, no matter what, these men will be the shining light of this administration.

Tinubu is not stupid, he chose a fragile, old and maybe honest Buhari (remember his fellow elite fulani never wanted him as president)

Kwankwoso's recent outburst and Quimicababes's revelation about a top fulani elite, shows how scared these people are.

2019 is going to be very interesting, Tinubu is a patient smart fellow

You are right Ma'am. They are afraid Pa Buhari might travel before 2019.

The game is indeed "The Game of Thrones".

And, I believe Tinubu knows what he is doing. We can't afford to be at the receiving end anymore.

tupacshakur:


...proudly Ijesha!

Yesi ere?

Ijesha lu ere.

Kari o awe, where have you been? Don't tell me you've been busy with Romanis.

Aareonakakanfo:
Zimoni the North doesn't have to support regionalism.We can achieve it through Southern co-operation if we're ready to swallow our pride and work together.They can't do it alone and they know it

You are right Sir.

That is if they(Romanis and Ologogoros) would let go of the hate and accept our proposal.

Time shall tell. For now, we watch and enjoy the movie.

Shymm3x:


Lol.

Bruddah, I'm trying to introduce you to them.

Shyte, kings get dethroned all the time...so even if they're taken, you should be able to overthrow the current regime as the duke of Ijesha. Ijesha folks gat game. Great folks right there.

I believe the great Sapara Williams was an Ijesha man.

Hahahahaahahahahahah

Shymmex fe pa mi.

My english is poor, I can't speak english like those babes. They are going to Ishiloved me with grammars.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahah

You are still the Duke of Ijebuland and Okanlomo of Yorubaland.

You can handle the two of them(qui and laud.ate babes) simoultaneously.

Aareonakakanfo:
[b]Hmmmn Interesting! I've always wanted to discuss this.

Call them herdsmen,illiterates and blabla but one thing you can take from the Fulani is Intelligence.I'm afraid to say they're politically smarter than every other ethnic group in West-Africa and their influence goes as far as gambia.How these guys were able to do it is a topic for another day

One thing a lot of Yorubas don't understand is this.The Hausa-Fulani guys only used us to gain power and they will dump us
when they deem it fit.

I believe Regional Government is only possible if there's Southern co-operation during elections.I remember the romanis threatening political parties before the election that they won't vote for anyone if they're not guaranteed seats in the Lagos state house of Assembly and I won't even lie to you low-key I was scared because I know the romani population in Lagos is huge

We and the romanis constitute over 65% of the south and If we can speak with one voice by threatening these parties concerning our stand on the issue of regionalism like the romanis did concerning Lagos, I feel it might be granted.The northerners are always in need of a partner.A partner with large population and once the 2 partners they love using to achieve their aims decide to form a duo, then they're doomed but I don't see that relationship happening.It's not about writing articles and carrying placards and that's where a lot of Odua groups are getting it wrong.

Another thing that might speed it up is the political unity of all Yoruba states.We need to have a single political party.That's the first step and we'll take it from there[/b]

You've said it all Sir.

The only alternative is to form another political party for yoruba

The party would give them a run for their money. It would no longer be business as usual. It would no longer be SW is for APC.


Seriously, we don enter am. This forced-marriage is really setting us back.

O sun mi.

Shymm3x:


Lol.

Laudate and quimicababes, please claim Yoruba, we beg you.

And even if you're not Yorubas - we need to bless you lot with Yoruba spouses, for ya great contributions to this thread.

That's on me.

for your mind abi?

Who says they are not taken

Shymm3x:
Aareonakakanfo, Laudate, quimicababes, mayoroflagos, superstar1, 9jacrip, oduatstates, ileke/ilekehd, Aareonakakanfo, ritchiee, and everyone else who wants to contribute.

I want to us discuss the dynamics of Nigerian politics under the current government and what Yorubas stand to gain. I'll use excerpts from quimicababes' post as the preamble.



Now let's analyse the most important portfolios under Buhari's government.

- President: Northerner (Buhari)
- Senate President: Northerner.
- Speaker of the House: Northerner.
- Judiciary: Northerner.
- Chief of Army Staff: Northerner (this is the most important portfolio in the Nigerian armed forces cos of the structure and whoever heads the army controls the armed forces cos the Nigerian army is the only section within the Nigerian military that's potent. The Chief of Defence is just a mere appendage).
- Head of Customs: Northerner.
- Head of the Ports: Northerner.
- Petroleum Minister: Buhari should head this one - another Northerner.

The remaining important portfolios for decision making which are yet to be given out are:

- Finance
- Aviation
- Attorney General.

I think Northerners would take at least two out of the three. Mostly likely: Attorney General and Aviation.

So what's the implication of this hegemony on the Yorubas and how can we win the fight for regional-government/true-federalism when Northerners control all the important portfolio required to implement it?

P.S: please, post with a clear mind.

Well, they said he had to choose his people as members of his kitchen cabinet. All right.

They also said loyalty and trust matters a lot. They said he trusts those people and their loyalty is unalloyed.

I'm cool with the reason they gave. What I find insulting was the damn word "Merit". They shouldn't have told us the people appointed are qualified and merited the position. I think that word was abused. Adeshina should have come out clean and said the people appointed are "Trustworthy and Loyal to the President".

I wish them well. I'm watching and following the movie. I said it here yesterday that Buhari should tread carefully because ground is slippery.

If Tinubu had not formed and gave them the platform(APC), they would have waited till 2019 before PDP zoned power to North. They should always remember that without APC, they wouldn't be chanting "Merit" now. They should also remember "The Key To Goodnight-Nigeria Is Still With Us".

I supported Jonah Ologogoro during the election because of the beef I have with the born-to-rule dudes. Also because Grandpa went to Ibadan in 2000 to complain that our farmers killed "MY PEOPLE" his Tse Tse Flies brethrens.

We shouldn't be caught unaware. God forbid, if anything bad should happen to PMB, the Fulani Oligarchs would instruct the COAS to take over power immediately and conduct another election a year after. We shouldn't fall for the one-nigeriya bullshitt.

They may talk about regionalism only if they discover crude oil in the north or if the Sapphire in Taraba is in huge quantity which can sustain them for years. They have become lazy, dependent on quota system and monthly feeding-bottle money from Abuja. They have more than enough solid minerals in Northern region which can sustain them if they looked inward and tap the resources. There is uranium in Borno, Taraba is blessed with resources in various LG of the states. Gembu is located at Sardauna Local Government. Sardauna LG at 9,389 km² is bigger than Osun State. Sardauna LG alone can sustain Taraba state. There are solid mineral resources in various part of Northern Nigeria. They will only look inward when the free oil money dries.

So, I don't think those dudes will ever support anything regionalism until the free oil money seizes.

I wish them well. We are following the event as it pans out from Presidential Villa.

My instinct tells me Laudate is a Yoruba. He/she posts in Yoruba whenever he/she likes. Sometimes he/she complains that he/she is going to report us to his/her grandma when we posted in Yoruba during Yoruba hour


The UME question is, who is HE/SHE?

Lushore, that video was wack. Interesting.

Shymex, I enjoyed the video. Yoruba boys are doing well in abroad.

Uncle Oduast.ate and Aare, o ti to bayen.

Dele Abiodun

"Admiral" Dele Abiodun has had a steady music career of approximately 20 years. As a singer, composer and guitarist, Abiodun is considered to be one of the best juju musicians.

He started his music career at a young age, dropping out of school and moving to Ghana to study music and to find a job. In Ghana he played the bass for several different highlife bands, but in 1969 he decided to go out on his own and he formed his own band called Sweet Abby and the Tophitters. The year following the formation of the band, Abiodun created a new style and used that in many of his performances. The new style of music that was created is known as Adawa, which in translation means Independent Being.

After the introduction of the Adawa style, Abiodun and his band released several LPs and singles. In 1981 Abiodun released the hit album Beginning of a New Era and in 1983 he released another hit album titled Ma Se'Ke. In more recent times, Abiodun and his band have released two albums almost back to back. In 1985 they released Confrontation, which is a mini-LP, and in 1986 they released Oro Ayo in Nigeria.

Sir Shina Peters

Sir Shina Peters (born 30 May 1958) is a Nigerian Jùjú musician. Born Oluwashina Akanbi Peters in Ogun State, he began his career while playing the guitar with General Prince Adekunle, later forming his own group with Juju Maestro Segun Adewale. Shina Peters, after releasing many albums with Segun Adewale thru the 1980s, went on to form his own band "Sir Shina Peters & His International Stars".

Their first album release Ace (Afro-Juju Series 1) in 1989 went double platinum and was the career breakthrough which catapulted Sir Shina Peters back into the limelight. "Ace" was a musical fusion between Juju and Afro beat; a rhythmic collaboration which pierced Ethnic, Cultural and language barriers in Nigeria.

The second album release Shinamania (Afro-Juju Series 2) went on to further prove that Sir Shina Peters & His International Stars were on the verge to change and revolutionize the Juju Music scene in Africa. Sir Shina Peters is still regarded as the creator of a well-respected music genre (Afro Juju) that exists in its own class till this day. He currently has 16 album releases to his credit.

Sir Shina Peters also called "SSP" has received numerous awards and recognition for his unparalleled prowess in the art of Writing, Composition, Choreography and Musical Ability. Sir Shina Peters & His International Stars have become a household name in the World Music genre. Sir Shina Peters has sold millions of albums worldwide & has taken his music to the shores of South Africa, Europe, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and United States. Sir Shina Peters is currently signed to Orbit Entertainment, his USA agency based in New York.

Sir Shina Peters is a well-recognised symbol of music evolution in Nigeria. Popularising one of Africa's most important genres,he is seen as a force for great musical movements. On the negative side, owing to his nationally witnessed debacle at the apex of his popularity on wishing fellow Music Entertainer King Sunny Ade(KSA) a quick and smooth recovery, Sir Shina Peters due to his lack of familiarity with the English language goes on to say "...I wish him soonest recover. This was a source of mockery for him, in the hands of the press which greatly affected his image temporarily. He did recover from the blunder.

Segun Adewale

Segun Adewale (born 1955) is a Nigerian musician. He is considered the pioneer of Yo-pop, a mix of funk, jazz, juju, reggae, and Afro-beat.

Segun Adewale was born into a royal family in Oshogbo, Nigeria. Because his father objected to his career in music Adewale left home and moved to Lagos, Nigeria, where he met Juju musicians S. L. Atolagbe and I. K. Dairo. In the 1970s, Adewale and Shina Peters both played with Prince Adekunle, a pioneer of Afrobeat Jùjú music. In 1977 Adewale, along with Shina Peters, formed a new group called Shina Adwale and the Superstars International. They released nine recordings but split in 1980 to form their own separate groups.
By 1984 the music of Adewale had evolved into what is now described as Yo-Pop.

King Sunny Ade

"King" Sunny Adé (born Sunday Adeniyi, 22 September 1946) is a Nigerian musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and a pioneer of modern world music. He has been classed as one of the most influential musicians of all time.

Adé was born to a Nigerian royal family in Ondo, thus making him an Omoba of the Yoruba people. His father was a church organist, while his mother was a trader. Adé left grammar school in Ondo under the pretense of going to the University of Lagos. There, in Lagos, his mercurial musical career started.

Sunny Adé's musical sound has evolved from the early days. His career began with Moses Olaiya's Federal Rhythm Dandies, a highlife band. He left to form a new band, The Green Spots, in 1967. Over the years, for various reasons ranging from changes in his music to business concerns, Sunny Adé's band changed its name several times, first to African Beats and then to Golden Mercury.

In the 1970s and 1980s Adé embarked on a tour of America and Europe where he played to mixed (both black and white) audiences. His stage act was characterised by dexterous dancing steps and mastery of the guitar. Trey Anastasio, American guitarist, composer and one of his devout followers, once said, "If you come to see Sunny Adé live, you must be prepared to groove all night."

After more than a decade of resounding success in Africa, Adé was received to great acclaim in Europe and North America in 1982. The global release of Juju Music and its accompanying tour was "almost unanimously embraced by critics (if not consumers) everywhere". Adé was described by The New York Times' as "one of the world's great band leaders", and in Trouser Press as "one of the most captivating and important musical artists anywhere in the world". His next album, Syncro System (1983), was equally successful and earned him his first Grammy Award nomination in the folk/ethnic music category.
