Why Only Ogun State? Just A thought (2) (3) (4)
Why Only Ogun State? by Muyogoa: 9:14pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
Have you ever observed that many top and succesful politicians,leaders,singers,professionals are mostly from Ogun state? Out of about 6 states in the south western part of Nigeria, only people from Ogun state can be considered the most outstanding in many ramnification. The only Yoruba president in Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo is from Ogun state, great people and heroes and heroine also emerged from this state. The likes of Obafemi Awolowo, late MkO Abiola, the first woman to drive a car, late Funmilayo ramson-kuti, the nobel prof. Wole Soyinka, former head of states,Ernest Sonekan, Mike Adenuga, late Fela kuti, late Tai Solarin, Ebenezer obey, Osewa Seun,the former military vice president, Dipo Diya and so many others are all from this great state. Also, some years back an indigene of Osun state emerged as the speaker of the house of representative but within a short time she was impeached and over taken by another Ogun state indigene, Hon Dimeji Bankole. Recently again during this Era of change, another great professor from Ogun state, also emerged as the vice president elect of this great country. The question is why Ogun state? Some said Ogun state people may be enjoying the benefits of their fore fathers for being the first to accept christianity in Nigeria which probably make God pleased with them, thus passing blessing to their offsprings. This is just an assumption anyway, but sincerely why are Ogun state Indigenes more outstanding among all other Yoruba states ? |

FastShipping: You know exactly what is on my mind, they just love division, this is one of the reasons Jonathan was sent packing. You may go back to your village where competition and hatred is common. As for we Yoruba's we don't care which state or religion all we want is benefits of democracy. 9 Likes |

By outstanding I assume you mean visible. That's because yorubas by nature generally do not like being in the limelight ( or under the spotlight), ogun state is an exception to this rule, hence they are more visible and more active in the national scene. 1 Like |

You're welcome. What you stated are easily verifiable facts, so its not necessarily an argument per se, neither is it subjective. The only point you raised which could be disputed, is the first to accept Christianity one. That might need to be looked into . |

Muyogoa: Op, I want you to reflect upon the following epigram thoroughly: Only people bereft of any personal glory to call theirs latch onto the glory of other individuals as the glory of their perceived group. In common parlance, we call that mediocrity. The family, village, town, state, country, or continent from which you come is merely an accident of birth, and every intelligent person knows this. So it is never a matter of what people from your state have achieved, but what you, personally, have achieved for your own self. No! Ogun people aren't any more special than Imo people, or people from Niger, Ekiti, Delta, Edo, Jigawa, Taraba or Ebonyi. Get over yourself 1 Like |
