ProfShymex: Of cos every thing they do is always well planned and orchestrated only that it keeps collapsing right before their very eyes, you would have come across that viral video where Kanu, the arrow head of their latest secession voyage was soliciting for funding to prosecute his war or rather to kill his fellow Nigerian in the US. You would observe non of the people in the room screamed him to a halt not to discuss such or at least attempt to scuttle that line of thinking/conversation right there and then but alas!!! they kept quiet and afterwards asked some lame question that he should explain further . . . . . . what should be considered an aberration in the first instance they are asking for explaination . . . . .they are as quilty as the man in my own reckoning. Trust my yoruba peeps . . . . .hahaha they will just mark you to an abrupt stop and ask you if are there no other ways to be explored to achieve this voyage than mass homicide if i may use that word? and that brings me to Bola Ige"s admonishment to Yorubas that should the country divide or go her separate ways no blood of Yoruba man/woman should be split in achieving this, not because of cowardice but that better to jaw jaw than war war. He started on the wrong foot (Kanu) and i don't see him achieving his set objectives but i would have loved so much if this foolery was on full momemtum/display whilst Jonathan was in power . . . . . . but i guess it's the same crowd that chanted Gej forever, they needed to be engage to sing a different song again and i guess by next election they will be singing a different song once PDP vies for presidency and hands them the VP slot . . . . . interesting times ahead guys |

interloper: I believe they never planned it the way it turned out. They most likely just wanted to create a propaganda machine cos they put all their eggs in one basket, during the last elections. However, you know how innately emotional these folks can be, hence Kanu started over-doing it. And with the unexpected momentum they have on their side now, they just have to keep pushing the wheels - they can't stop now. Honestly, I don't see Nigeria surviving the next 10 years intact. Once you follow the dynamics of things, a lot of things are being orchestrated both inside and outside the country. If the country survives the next decade - folks need to go to Church and do a massive thanksgiving. Yorubas just need to start preparing for all eventualities cos when the storm hits Nigeria - it's going to look like shock and awe. Something is going to hit Nigeria soon, trust me. |

CabbieAC: Im sorry if that came across too demanding, it was NOT meant to offend at all. Pardon me! Analysis and critical thinking works best when the goals are focused. In fact, I usually go with top 3 when i get ready to slap my critical thinking hat on. So lets leave it at 5 or less. We never cared about what they think or would say for the entire 280+pages....this is no time to worry about Ibo intrusion. We will get them out with no problem, and quick too! Lol. ....but, maybe we dont even need to go too deep for the issue at hand here. Look, symbolism is a b1tch! This is why branding is the biggeat marketing tool in human history. Everytime you mention Nigerian socccer outside it is symbolized with Ibo, the issue of Yoruba is better is mute. Convincing anybody that Yoruba is a better than Ibo in soccer would be hard to swallow seeing that your national team has for past five years or longer being dominated by Ibos. In politics, we were not the face of National power for 8yrs....but we are now. How did we accomplish that? Do the same thing in soccer.....stop focusing too much on making the team and strategize more on being the one at top that selects the team. Das all! 3 Likes |

ProfShymex: My concern is the collateral damage of this misadventure, its going to be more than what guns and bullets can do, the anarchy and mystery families and the society at large will be subjected too will be better imagined than witnessed . . . . . secession like this are never gonna be easy to achieve especially with such devilish propaganda they started with. You honestly think if the whole drama begins and neighbourhood are setting up vigilante to fish out non yoruba in the SW which they will sadly do, many militia groups will be springing up on every streets, picture the piles of body from both sides of the divide, even those running off to the east driving thru many Yoruba towns face a daunting task cos those roads will either be destroyed or anyone driving bye be relieved of all their belongings and be sure in some areas/villages/hamlets a regular village guys will evolve into a militia man overnight and in that case they tend not to have any rules of engagement. What i still don't get is why don't they channel all their adrenaline energy towards the political elites and government in the east? that should be their first port of call and not desiring to solicit for weapon to kill their fellow nigerian. I still don't gerrit SMH |

MayorofLagos: Loool awada ma ni mo n se eleko Ewo ni sorry First of all politics is different from sport.I understood you but I still disagree with the emboldened.There's nothing wrong in being the one who heads all the parastatals as far as football is concerned like owning clubs,being the coach e.t.c but at the same time,that's not what football is all about Those who make things happen on the pitch is all we care about Messi is more popular than Josep Bartomeu and he's more successful in all ramifications Ronaldo is more popular than Perez But let me quickly give you this 5 -Music -Business -Sports -Trade -Arts I also have a question for you Are you familiar with the Bada and Etti families of Lagos? |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by forgiveness: 11:55pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
ProfShymex: If you ask me, na who me I go ask? Yoruba's talent in football can't be everly questioned when it's crystal glaring that Yorubas had produced more extraordinary talented players in the mold of Yekini(once highest goal scorer in the Portuguese liga), Odegbami, Adebayor, Martins, Taye Taiwo and currently David Alaba and Dele Ali etcetera. Do you know that Tiago Ilori played regularly in the Ligue 1 last season but nobody heard of him. He's now on loan to Aston Villa from Liverpool. And do you know one certain Gbenga Okunowo played regularly for Barcelona senior at one time, and even won the LA liga in the 1998/1999 session with them but as usual, he was largely ignored for a long period only to be capped 8 times by the National team. The other two questions maybe the main reasons many couldn't make it into the National team though the parent part might not likely stop the desperate once. We go burst that obsolete mint with facts na. |

CabbieAC: It should be: - Education. - Business. - Finance. - Entertainment. - Sports. - Arts and Crafts. - Science and technology. I think it's basically everything, apart from noise-making. Even when it comes to making money from crime, without getting caught - Yorubas are on a different level. 6 Likes |

interloper: It's not even only them and their axis - they're about open an international file for Boko Haram. That's coming as well. So we're looking at two frontiers. How ready/prepared are the Yorubas? |

Interesting, good job guys. One Naijiriya(jiriya indeed) is really setting us back, imagine fielding those guys against super chicken? We'll beat them to stupor. We have all these good guys yet they keep telling us Yoruba's can't play football. Allrait, there's God. |

CabbieAC: Family always get my interest above anything else. We will talk about other things later but what about those two? I dont know Bada but there are twp Ettis in Lagos. Durosinmi-Etti and then there is Etti. I also want to talk to you about soccer grounds in surulere....aguda, ansarudeen, adelabu, ajao, olukole,shitta...none of them I didnt play i...including first bank grounds off Eric Moore. I played soccer and hockey there. |

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by forgiveness: 12:46am On Nov 22, 2015 |

CabbieAC: Lmao!!! Do you know a guy called Muyi, he used to be popular on these grounds. His father played for NEPA back in days when soccer was leather skin and had a air bladder sewn into it. Back in the days Muyi's hangout was Iya Ibadan's compound on Ojuri and I would just sit there to side and watch them play cards and bet money. I learnt bad habits from that because when I started on snooker and got good I started wagering my school lunch money . . |
