NaijaRoyalty:
stop talking nonsense , I've never talked about Biafra before

You and your people are the people fighting for Yoruba nation

Are you scared of regionalism or being on your own? I'll advise that we all begin to prepare for which ever of these two that may eventually happen.

Alexmani:
[
Sometimes you guys reason with emptiness, If someone is talking about power shift to the south, it should be SE. If you're judging from party angles, then don't blame PDP for fielding Atiku because their last president was from the south. If talk about discriminating, talk about SE. This country needs diversity management to keep sailing. Youruba has been the vice president and yet you are fighting for BAT to be the president. What happens to the other part of the south? If you're sincere, you could imagine why igbos are agitating? To be all these issues are avoidable if we have leaders willing to on board everyone regardless of your background. My humble opinion.
quote author=ImperialYoruba post=116335488]I admire Prof Akintoye, that's a brilliant step to take. While we process through partisan politics and remain solidly behind Tinubu and APC, we still have the right to demand for and uphold justice for our contributions to Nigeria in terms of returns & privileges. We feel cheated, and we must correct that.

If there's no fairness and equity, is it not better to allow each region go its separate way then? Every region is using what it has to negotiate for separation or regionalism is all I can see here. Can SE also use what it has to negotiate?

ScamHunter:

It's good move because it's Yoruba move. Why are you people like this?

Read what he wrote again. He advised IPOB to write a similar letter. Writing such a letter is never a crime.

candidtalk:


Mumu. Yorubas are not two-faced, patently greedy and covetous as Igbos are. That is why, even with our flaws, we still enjoy a good reputation universally.

You're foaming at the mouth against Yorubas about "sovereign nation" yet you do not see that the silence of Igbos about Biafra currently, now that you're all 'Obidient', is powerful proof you people are the most insincere, most two-faced and most covetously greedy Nigerian ethnic group to exist.

Your historical pretence of wanting a sovereign Nation is again exposed as nothing but fake noise you think you can use to disguise the reality of how you remain obsessed with controlling all Nigerians and the wealth in their historical land of origin.

The despicable and two-faced Ojukwu, who would later contest to lead Nigeria, went to war pretending he wanted secession for Biafra when the reality was that he only wanted to be in control of Niger Delta/SS oil wealth everyone realized back then was potentially stupendous.

You always want to control Nigeria at the centre and you also wish to go to every corner of Nigeria to have a free run of the 'manor' whether in politics, business or industry.

When that is not possible , because you cannot gain the Presidency to control Nigeria at the centre, or you cannot dominate others in their States and region, as is the case with Lagos and the SW, you begin your divisive and fake agitation for Biafra.

Where is your Biafra noise today? Is Prof.Akintoye not writing Buhari about Oduduwa Republic at a time Tinubu , his kinsman, stands a chance of becoming President if Nigeria?

What of the SW governors from APC who are part of the centre yet demanding to leave it, as seen below, while your wretched leaders continue to prop up 'one Nigeria' as currently constituted? Bro, you are a fool and a disgrace. Only primordial hate of others does not allow you to see that.

You're saying the truth all Ibos know. I've noticed this fear in them of what becomes of them should Nigeria breaks or be regionally structured. They call Yorubas all sort names to blackmail the Yorubas in order for them (the Ibos) to get what they want to get in Nigeria generally and SW specifically. Unfortunately, some Yorubas are falling for this. They know it's only the SW that can easily accommodate them with all their natural shortcomings. They take the Yorubas civility due to their level of education and nature as weakness. Marrying a Yoruba is a great achievement to some of them as they see it as an opportunity to naturalize in Yoruba land. They're not sure of the SS and Northern people as they see those guys as being naturally aggressive. Till today, they have not been able to justify why Zik was against having a secession clause in the constitution and why Ironsi collapsed the regional structure even though the reason is obvious to them.

The difference between some Ibos and Fulanis is like the difference between 10 and a half of score. Both are normardical and covetous of other people's lands. While Fulanis want to come aggressively through the front doors, Ibos are coming cunningly through the back doors. The objective is the same though the approach is different simply because the Fulanis have upper hand by being in charge of security.

Igbodicool:

Only a compound fool can easily call somebody a fool.
Who takes Yoruba serious?
At the mention of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu even Oduduwa your progenitor will be wailing in nairaland.
Yoruba and Igbo are not mate in Sovereignty Nation matter.
You can only compete with Kanuri Nation.

History has proved your assertion otherwise. I still can't understand why Zik was against having a secession clause in the constitution at the eve of independence, why Ironsi collapsed the regional structure and why Ibos are so possessive of Yoruba land. That Zik and Ironsi, two Ibos who have ruled Nigeria since its creation, stood against secession and regional autonomy in words and actions as echoed by some Ibos' shout of "no man's land" in flagrant display of covetousness is at conflict with your confession.

Nosa111:
Yoruba people and lip service

Restructuring is happening gradually if you don't understand.

Graciousnaija:
People who are barely educated to begin implementing and enforcing law on the learned! God will bountifully reward whoever has brought us to this situation in Lagos State.

But how educated is the president of the NURTW that is seated in Abuja? Just want to know if this makes a difference.

Diligence:
Chai! The future of youths in South West?

From Production to Agberoism, Touting...Youths that should be thinking of technology, IT, Production, Industrial Revolution...

Weep South West, Weep! Behold your youths, Behold their Passion, Behold your Future!!

What surprises one is that this same South West is where other tribes are running to survive, leaving behind their states and lands in droves like a war-ravaged region.

Babinski:


It is not Oluomo's plan or agenda that is being followed. What is happening is orchestrated by Tinubu in a plan to take away the motor parks from transport unions and channel the revenue generated to the State purse. The Motor Parks in Lagos reportedly generate over N 120 billion annually for the Unions and that is no small beans.

The only thing I may agree with in all this is that it's part of restructuring. Let the money generated in Lagos parks be retained in Lagos rather than making remittance to the National. I think this started in Oyo State. Every state, especially those in the South, should learn from this.

maasoap:


If you dare say SW is not behind Tinubu, it is correct to say that you don't know what you are saying.

You have just one vote. Till then...

mach7:
I didn't talk about his economic performance or issue if unemployment.

I was talking about (in)security.

Are you saying farmlands and farmers were attacked during OBJ's time as we witnessed now? Are you saying kidnapping for ransome was rife during OBJ's time as witnessed in recent times? Are you saying herdsmen were carrying AK 47 and AK 49 during OBJ's time as experienced recently? May be that lie is for the 21st century babies. Lol...

chrisxxx:

Anywhere VAT us generated someone from south east plays a role..

Provide the link to your Stat. Physician, can't you heal yourself first? Can a blind person lead another blind person?

maasoap:


North gave him the ticket, SW is solidly behind him. And those are the regions that matter, the rest can go fvck themselves

Which SW? Which solidly? The polls will decide. You can't eat your cake and have it.

mach7:
Same way Tinubu shouldn't be blamed for Buhari. Everybody should bear their father's name.

However, to quickly correct some wrong things:

1. There was banditry in OBJ's time. It just wasn't this pronounced due to the non-existence of Social Media and traditional media as it is now.
2. Kidnappings was rife during OBJ's time
3. Extrajudicial killings done by OPC, Bakassi Boys, MASSOB and even the Army in certain instances was rife during OBJ's time
4. South South agitation blew up during OBJ's time
5. Boko Haram led by Yusuf, starting his radical preaching during OBJ's time. It was Yar'Adua in 2009 who later took decisive action, although it now metamorphosed into full blown terrorism.

So OBJ's tenure was some paradise land in terms of security as certain people are projecting.

OBJ's time was relatively good compared to now. Just save yourself the stress. Employment rate was far higher thanks to GSM alone.

chrisxxx:

People of south east extraction contribute over 40% of said Lagos IGR. Lagos is a big market and not just a state. Everyone meets there and whoever happens to be the governor has no excuse for nonperformance.

Provide the link to the statistics. VAT generated in Oyo State alone dwarfed what is generated in the entire SE. Talk is cheap.

lailo:
No Obasanjo will rattle any Tinubu. He is politically empty in Ogun state, let alone Yoruba land. Ex-president who cant influence his own polling unit is who Tinubu will lose sleep over? He only went to him for formality sake. That's what Yoruba called iwa Omoluwabi towards elders. Even Obasanjo himself know.....

Until you can undo all the attacks the SW has suffered in hands of your Jihadists, marauders, bandits, invaders, usurpers in the last 7 years...

smeag0l:
This is the misconception people dont understand till today including lagosians and also the fallacy BAT used in stealing all of lagos money from 2004 to 2007. He still got 80% of his allocation. The remaining 20% was what was withheld and this was even later paid as arrears towards the end of his tenure. He himself should come out and campaign with this then he'llknow that Nigerians are not fools.

And were those LGs not part of Lagos State? What makes up a state if not LGs? How would those LGs have been run when the allocations meant for them were already withheld?

Lightorder:
Igbos please. Not ibos, onye ofe.

And Nigeria will remain or get worse that she is

But the foremost Ibo man, Zik, did not call it Igbo but Ibo. Go and read his speech.

IboHausaYoruba:
Obasanjo just dey catch cruise. No shaking for Jagaban. One thing I know about Yoruba is, they will never leave their son to go vote another man's piking especially when the pikin is from the South East.

But OBJ didn't win election with the Yorubas votes in 1999, did he? Let BAT also win his election without Yorubas votes in 2023. I'm no OBJ's fan but you can compare his performance and the performance of your party in the last 7 years. The difference is too glaring for the blind to see.

* Attacks on Igangan in Oyo by your foot soldiers

* Attacks on the Yorubas in Ogun by your foot solders

* Attacks on Owo church by your foot soilders

* Attacks on Ekiti farmers and other Yorubas on their farms across SW. One of the victim was said to have been killed by the arrow of the marauding archers.

* The burning of Olu Falae's farm by your foot solders

* The killing of Funke Fasoranti by your foot solders

* Attack on Ife people at Sabo by your foot solders

* Introduction of hijab in Christian schools and the subsequent attacks on church premises in Kwara

* Attacks on Yorubas on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

* Varous kidnapping for ransom attacks by your foot solders

* Record level indebtedness, poverty and inflation

* The demand to establish Sharia in a multi-faith region like SW

* Endsars and the subsequent denials

Your plan is well known even to the fuetus.

The most disheartening thing is that while these thing went on, you either kept mute, denied them, or justified the perpetrators just because of your hidden agenda and desperation.

Do you need the votes of those that give you headache according to your MURIC professor?

One of you boasted of having 65% of the population in that region, prove it at the polls.

If you put your ears down very well, you will hear the music being sung. No need to loud it.

sirfemoz:


As bad as borno state is, an Igbo man is there buying land and shops, Building houses. No matter how bad bandits and bokoharam have taken over Yobe state, an Igbo man is there doing business. So, why won't a yoruba man won't go to the so called "economic refugee state"? Cos they are always afraid and feel insecure.

Building a house on sand as against the rock is no show of bravity. It's rather an act of folly. According to the Holy Writ, great shall be the fall of such edifice. Enjoy your self-deceit but don't cry foul when hoodlums attack your "bravity".

Tinubu should go back to his Osun state. Lagos is not yorrrobaland. You agbado people should go back to yorrrobaland

The only song the deaf is opportune to hear is what he will be able to sing till he dies unless he's cured of his deafness. Lol.... Loud the music and enjoy the exuberance until another reality dawns on you at the polls. Best of luck.

RIVERS1stson:
Tinubu should go back to his Osun state. Lagos is not yorrrobaland. You agbado people should go back to yorrrobaland

Lagos can never be part of yorrobaland but will continue to remain part of the Yorubaland and SW Nigeria. I know you're filled with the fear of unknown but there's nothing someone can do about it. It's just the absolute reality. Lagos State traditional institution will continue to be dominated by the IBILE people if you know what that means. It's by God's make, not of any human design. If that pains you, sorry I can't help. The best thing is to cure yourself of covetousness and appreciate what God has done for you.

Here we go again. Who told you Lagos is a yorrobaland? I won't take you serous until you tell me Osuolale Akiolu is not a Yoruba name. You can go and argue that with an Awori man that he's not a Yoruba man, that's your own cup of tea.

No one mentioned about poverty, you can be the most successful tribe in the world, I'm not doubting it. But have you ever gotten up one day leaving your family and friends, carry your bag and go to a land that you don't understand their language. Leaving your comfortable place and starting life afresh. You take your time to learn their language and culture. You think that is easy?

Those Yorubas in UK, US, Europe and other parts of the world did not leave their land to a strange land right? Who wants to live in a land that its original owners are leaving in droves? Are we doing an exchange of lands or what? Leaving your land in droves is sending a wrong signal about that land if you don't know. I took time to observe Nigerian politics and concluded that Ibos will be more respected in politics if they learn to stay in their region, develop it and give BLOCK VOTES. As long as your votes are scattered, hmmmm.... No region will like to "surrender their sovereignty to you" at the polls during election period. It will remain a herculean task'

RIVERS1stson:

Mumu man. Tinubu is from osun but he ran to live in Lagos. Tufia lol

Any crime in that? The last time I checked Lagos and Osun are located in the South West Nigeria. The Aworis in Lagos (indegenous Lagos land owners), who traced their origin to Ife through Olofin Ogunfunminire, must have also "run" from Osun to Lagos since Ife is in today's Osun State. You can even separate the Ijebus and Remos, who are the indigenous land owners of Ikorodu and Epe, from their kits and kins in Ogun State. Lol...

this your Bible verse belong to all the politician including your beloved Obi

I don't have a support for any politician, at least not of any contemporary Nigerian politician. People can vote for whoever they like. It's their sovereignty. But for someone to attempt painting one politician black and making others look saintly is mere hypocrisy, especially when their stock in trade speaks otherwise.

To call someone bastard if they vote Obi while keeping silent and/or even endorsing those who masterminded the election of someone which led to more killing, raping, maiming of fellow mankind can only be part of the creed of the wicked. Everyone will give account of their life one day before the Great Judge. The earlier you acknowledge your mistakes and repent the better.

shegra58:
Psalm 91:16
“With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation.”

And you are sure this is for the hypocrites who keep quite for selfish reasons while marauders attack their fellow mankind, especially those of the household of faith? And you're sure this is for those who hate Christ and openly say Yoruba Christians are their headache? Lol... Even the devil can appear sometimes as the angel of light.

come back to like my post when Tinubu become president by next year

A mere mortal that does not know what will happen to him before the next day break should not talk about next year like OLODUMARE. You hia?

IfnobeGod20:

I have told you, it is unto you to doubt my yorubaness but one thing is sure you can never love Yoruba than me, this I know.
I have also told you not to expect every Yorubas to queue behind Tinubu because Tinubu can never be Yoruba project. All these you must bear in mind and stop disturbing yourself on issue you have no power to control.

Tinubu has set the precedence by his action and inaction that his political interest supersedes the Yoruba interest. This he has shown in many instances that Afenifere has been telling him but he never retrace his step but instead looking for ways to polarize them.

You can decide to believe whatever you wish to believe and call my attestation against the people of Ogun as a lie. One thing is sure, when you live your comfort zone and transverse around the south west, you will testify and come to the knowledge of what I said to you and you called lie.

On the issue of Yayi, he has not won election into the Senate but has just won a ticket to represent his senatorial district unopposed. I want you to correct that from your comment.
Sometimes I get fed up with some of you that are so called literate that you compare a cosmopolitan state with indigenous state. If I may ask you, how many indigenous people have ruled Lagos state. Many that have ruled Lagos as governor so far are from other states. Comparing cosmopolitan Lagos with any other state defeat sense of reasoning.

You also tactically said, it was coincidence that Anambra came first in WAEC during his time because he did nothing. Mr. Man, since his reign till date the state have maintained that record and feat and not pass 7 on the ladder. Thankfully yesterday another record was released last night as you can see below and judge by yourself. Education is the bedrock of any nation. A man that gives mankind education has given life and light.

What pains me in all these records is that, the south west known as education advantaged states is no where to be find in the record. We have neglected our main stake but pursuing shadows of politics.

Now in south west is politics and religion. How students and pupils will be wearing Hijab. How Sharia court will be establish in the south west. How a certain religion candidate will not be voted for against another religion candidate. No one talk about raising the standard of south west education. How the decayed structures will be revamp. How teaching aids will be improve upon. How qualified teachers would be recruited into these schools. Now, all about segregation of one knitted south west.

I think you're misconstruing my stance on Tinubu. I have told you, if it was Tinubu of 1999 or 2007 I will gladly go for him and canvass vote for him but not Tinubu of 2022. I have told you that, if he has sponsored Fashola, Osinbajo or Adesina Akinwunmi, some of us would have fall in line. Yes, Tinubu did greatly during his tenure but I have it before is not having it now or a property. Many waters have passed through the bridge. I have told you that the vibe of Tinubu has drastically reduced and such people should not been seen managing our affairs because we are already a sick country admitted in an Intensive Care Unit and it requires a mentally and physically fit doctor to attend to the sickness, not someone that will delegate someone and they person may not even go there. This we've witnessed in this tenure.

Please I am not forcing you to see the way I see, you have right to your vote, wish I am sure you wiant to exercise it either on the altar of tribe or probably religion. Which by constitution is okay. But you cannot force us who are seeing him in another prism not to do so.

You also claimed, you've not seen Peter Obi intelligence so far. If you don't believe in somebody you can never see his intelligence because whatever he says will make no meaning to you. How I wish it is an engaging campaign as done in advanced democracies and not the usual jamboree campaign of shouting, hailing and gyration.

I just hope we will move to campaign of engaging than carnival.

There are a lot of malpractices that can be associated with passing WAEC though. That was discovered years back with the introduction of post UTME. However, search the report of Times Higher Education for the past few years for the best universities in Nigeria and find out where they are situated. Again, search the internet for the names of the best 10 candidates in JAMB in recent years and check the concentration.

shegra58:
Do you even know if I'm a Christain?
Herdsmen is killing in West while the same herdsmen and and unknown gunmen have take over your East.
You mentioned Fashola? Did he talk to you if he's interested in the presidency? Nobody hate igbos but their characters of feeling above everybody is what is killing you people there's no single representative like Tinubu,Obj,Bisi Akande in the East due to love lost among you you feel like you own everywhere you feel like you're above everybody yet you're the 5% do you even talk about Nnamdi Kanu again? NO for your information igboho is a free man today glamoring for our Yoruba nation the agitation never stop and at the same time "Awalokan" ,you want to sell Obi to Nigeria? Dead on arrival all the internet gra gra will soon come down,in all the geopolitical zone in Nigeria East always present the lowest vote and you want to present the president ? What an irony ,Ojukwu form APGA and today that party is already dead if you want to have upper hand in the politics of Nigeria just start from home

Kano, Borno,Lagos,PH, delivered the highest vote in Nigeria unfortunately for OBIdient's and Obi those places are APC state except PH which is PDP and with the look of things Wike should deliver some votes
there and again Hausa/Fulani don't vote for Igbo especially Christain because they never forget how people from the East kill Tafawa Balewa they never forgive too if you want to hear story about that I will tell you just let me know

Obi is not friendly to people from other ethnicity especially Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba's when he was governor in 2006/07 you want to hear about that too? I will tell you if you care to know,oh before I forget you people should stop using the word " we are obidient" if you're OBIdient just say it and count me out

Obi will soon Lulé

FYI, you and yours cannot deny my background in the land of Oodua. My great-great grand parents, from both sides, came to the land of Kaaro-Oojiire with their heads, not with their legs. There is no state in that region that I've not visited so far.

You talk of the North not voting for Christians but you forgot the same North and South, except the SW, voted for Obasanjo who you regarded as a Christian in 1999. Or was it your votes that brought in OBJ in 1999? Keep deceiving yourself. To you there are no Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba Christians? Lie. Fact, your fore fathers were traditionalists, neither Muslims nor Christians.

Afterall, you said you are 65% of the SW population, meaning the traditional worshipers in that region should be around 15% why Christians and others are 30%. Then, why the need to visit OBJ? Isn't your envy being laid bare? You said any Yoruba that votes for Obi is a bastard but those that voted for the one that led to the killings of your people in Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo should be called what? I will take you seriously when you begin to condemn the atrocities of the marauding herdsmen the way you condedm the Ibos. Until then....

There are bad people everywhere, not just among the Ibos. If the Ibos are that bad, why are your people, both Christians and Muslims, getting married to them? Do you know who will still help your children in the future? The truth is that Nigeria needs to restructure or otherwise remain perpetually trapped. Sure, I'm against the arrogance and greed that a lot of Ibos like to display but that doesn't make all Ibos to be bad.

It's hypocritical of you to condemn the Ibos' arrogance but look the other way when those that claimed they are born to rule you oppress, kill, maim and rape your pple. To you it doesn't matter the gallons of blood shed, what's more important is to have one of you as the next president. Kudos! Kontinue!
