rintileri: Before you critique blindly, let me remind you that the biggest stumbling block to good governance in Nigeria today is politicians that play on ethnic divide to win election, like Tinubu and Shettima.
To solve development problems where groups are refusing to work together or to live peacefully with one another in some cases, the best option is to be governed by the military. The military is not based on ethnicity but loyalty, command, respect and order. Look around Nigeria today, how much order do you see?
If the military governs, all they need do is lay down a solid transition period that the civil societies and different groups will agree to. But for the period when we will have the military, rapid development is guaranteed in short term.
I know military too can be corrupt but I don't think any military government can be more corrupt than bola tinubu o Bola Tinubu that was ready to finance presidential election for General IBB in 2007 after serving only 8 years as governor? The short man might have stolen nearly half of Lagos total earnings in his first 8 years in office (if not more)
before they critique you blindly, yet you open a thread without thinking it through. Obviously you were not born when the military was ruling. whether its military or democracy, its structure and agreement on way to do things that will work in a country, which is what nigeria lacks. The solution is to go back to 1963 constitution where everyone is ruling themselves or break off
They don't have funds from fraudulent subsidy to fund terrorism again. They don't have funds from fraudulent excess forex overhead again to fund their terrorism, now they are threatening they will destroy the government. They should bring this government down if they dare
Nigerians are living and shitting on wealth, it's just mismanagement due to different outlook to life by different nationalities occupying it. Let everyone go his way and manage their resources however they like
First they started with spiritual attack diversion, when people didn't take that crazy excuse they then arrested the unnamed installer. After three years! I'm sure its one of the casual workers who did only fixing they handed to the police.
All the data shenanigans to me is not it at this point, Nigeria is a gone country already and I'm only giving Tinubu 6 months of grace to know the direction he's taking us.
They have been claiming to gain much more after the unify fx and subsidy removal so in six months if we are not feeling any ease in his policies then he's going to have more enemies
So, you know all these, but want to stop others who want to secede from doing so, or even exercise their franchise in Lagos? More importantly, in light of the level of tribalism that we saw in the Lagos guber elections, why would a SANE person want to share a country with a people so triablistic and so hateful of others? Why are you people so wicked and cowardly? You know you lack the ability to survive on your own, but you also hate others who want to leave you behind? Why hate them? You hate them because you ENVY them. That's why. At some point, you will be FORCED to accept one: Either you leave, or accept others to rule over you in Lagos that all Nigerians own together. I personally believe that this presidential elections tribunal will force it, or start counting down on Nigeria's disintegration.
helinues: Someone asked me are SW people happy about this contraption? My sincere response below
How developed is SW to have been thinking about seceding from Nigeria now?
How many African countries are we friends with?
Having a new country means both international trade and regional trade would be suspended for years, it will take years before your currency can be accepted outside your country.
Forget about making direct international flight from your new country for years.
A region that is yet to be self sufficient but wan secede, no be Sudan making be that? Are the leaders of the new country going to be from Jupiter abi na still same current Nigeria politicians?
I did not want to say anything to your post before, but if we keep quiet about the delusions you are about it will infect others that are not well informed about how nations stand
1. Tell me which part of nigeria is developed that it will take level of development to achieve a separate statehood and what did you use to qualify your meaning of development? 2. Friendship with countries take time and it depends on what you can offer and that depends majorly on your gdp which measures your trading capacity, presently southwest/yoruba has the biggest gdp in nigeria trippling any other region and don't fool yourself with the narratives of the developers. No new nation make friends that immediately, even some eu countries still does not recognize kosovo as a country and somaliland is not recognized by the UN but its trading with egypt, saudi arabia and south africa 3. like I said, international trade is dependent on what you can offer and yorubaland can offer more trading opportunities than most African nations except for egypt, south africa and kenya only 4. Direct international flight? how has that helped nigeria? it is for a start and one year at most that that will be difficult to do, and Lagos is a hub of international flight which country will not want to profit from that? and besides, cotonou airport in benin republic is there for use 5. your last statement reek of hypocrisy, don't take offense but you are one of the biggest supporter of tinubu and and pain in the neck of the biggest wailers in africa but mocking that leaders of new country will be from jupiter shows that you never believed in those you are supporting, you are just riding along. And what is being self sufficient mean? is it that the region is poor or lack agricultural capacity? Where did you get that delusion from!?
I don't know which region you are really from and if you are Yoruba, you are doing yourself and the rest of us and the coming generations of yorubas lots of disservice if you keep up the narrative that we cannot and should not separate from Nigeria. That Yoruba was forced under the point of superior weapons together with their worst enemies and broken amongst three countries which is calculated to make us and other African nations weak should be reasons enough to fight to be free from the bondage they designed for us
You can send any argument to counter my post, maybe you might have something to teach
Their King the Olugbo is still claiming that his throne is the oldest Yoruba Throne because it was their forefathers Oduduwa met at Ile Ife
Yes, Linguistical and archeological studies have shown/postulated that ilaje/itshekiri area is where the oldest or purest form of yoruba exists and its confirm by the olugbo that they were the aborigines chased away from ife in the Moremi stories
More precisely, Yoruba is split into like four to five groups in Benin republic; the ohori living around ketu, sabe, the idaasha, living across the weme river, the isha living in Bante, Manigri etc, the shaworo group in Tsaorou where the former president Boni Yayi came from and we also have the Ana-Ife group in Kambole, Anie and Atamkpame in Togo
MrOkenwa: Ketu- they are not ohoris. Alaketu of ketu is a prominent Yoruba monarch. Eguns- They’re prominent people in yewa, ogun state. Anago- It’s a name used to describe Yoruba people in some neighborhoods like Togo and Benin republic but there is a small tribe in yewa known as anago. The eguns have their own unique language and culture though, they’re part of us.

Nsogbu001: I think is very bad for the first lady of a country to threaten a particular tribe. Must everyone support Tinubu. This should be investigated biko
Malicious, manipulative devilish people. I know you posted this for your type that will not verify the truth in content before going haywire. Any reasonable people will want to verify what someone says in another language, but not your type, you can even see the ibo woman laughing with her, will she be doing that if she's being threatened?
LibertyRep: This fight against illicit sale and use of hard drug deserves the support of everyone.
Hardly will there be a major crime without some elements of intake of hard drugs.
Sadly, it has permeated every nooks and crannies of our society.
The resultant effect on the mental being of the user is best felt when one visits psychiatric hospitals. How about the damaging effects on body organs like liver and kidney?
olab059: This interviewer was soft with his questions...why didn't he just ask the man why he married a 14 year old child...why? Why not married an adult girl of at least 21? I really just want to understand the mind of the man.
The point is you have been wrongly program to believe something is wrong because it's not practised around you. Do you know age of consent in Japan is 13yrs? From historical records, Yoruba girl becomes a woman around 16 to 17 years old and till 1960s they still get married before the age of 19, ask your grandmother. Marriage age has been shifted upwards because of educational and economic needs, it doesn't mean marrying at earlier age is so wrong
If Ahmed Yerima had married a man.......France,USA would have been very happy, possibly thrown a party for him.
If Ahmed Yerima had paid and brought home a prostitute.....Amsterdam would not see anything wrong with that.
If Ahmed Yerima had slept with a little boy.....the pope and the Vatican would have looked the other way.
Civil and religious rules in Nigeria and the USA would forever be different.
Not to say what Ahmed Yerima did was right, but would you rather your sister married at 14years old or be a prostitute at 14years.
Civil and religious rules between Yoruba and hausa-Fulani is different, civil and religious rules between hausa-Fulani and IBO is different. Do well to remember that when you want to point out national differences.
What yerima did 13 years ago caused uproar in the south and the core north did not waste time to make us understand we have different societies, the same way they started riots when we tried to host miss world.
