Everything about Tinubu is propaganda, why? Obi, Atiku.... re dey all not the same. Please dont come here and act as if one person is better than the other. Happy u based in Lagos, u re entitled to ur opinion on Tinubu. I was based in Anambra during Obi's Tenure, the man gas nothing to offer abeg, talkless of governing a country. Lets be guided, we can do better than those criminals. Eriokanmi: 1 Like |

Kukutente23: My friend, let me repeat this for the last time…..OBJ was NEVER popular in the South-West during his entire Presidency ….he was imposed on the entire country in 1999. Anyone with a sense of history will tell you that! ![]() Btw, since you talked about age, I can already surmise that you were not even born when OBJ was imposed on Nigeria in 1999. So, I can only feel some pity for you bcuz that’s the story they related to you during your story-telling gatherings in your villages. Waste of precious time discussing this with people who were in kindergarten at the maternal time! ![]() 1 Like |

Who goofed between Atiku boy and the vice President? What can Atiku show to us on how he saved Asiwaju political carrier.... Was it his intervention on how obj stopped the Lagos State monthly allocation? I don't know how Atiku can explained to us that he really saved Asiwaju political carrier because somebody like me still remember vividly on Jagaban saved Atiku from obj bad treatment back then. AC, ACN parties was metamorphosed from Action Democracy which was a regional party. How come that Atiku have shares in this if not because of the so called Asiwaju influence that helped him out. Atiku no get point on this. |

Eriokanmi: Yes you do otherwise we don't believe you Unfortunately, this generation of youths are so glued to sentiments which always inform their weird decisions 99% of the time, which would later haunt them in life. Newsflash Politics is a function of sentiment Presently I'm in America for another batch of donations to the less privileged in the society, especially in Lagos where I belong. There's one of our partners who is into sports, grooming young Nigerians across tribal lines on how they'd find their place at the global stage , through scholarships and all. You lost He win You win by hook or crook not half effort
But he win in other places Need more than Lagos to win This why you lose The 2023 election ought to have been a means of reciprocating your kind gesture in Lagos if you truly deserved our votes. Instead, you started intimidating people with your thugs cos they didnt vote you. Some myopic minds said he lost in lagos cos of the Muslim Muslim ticket however, in alimosho, the largest local government in Nigeria by population and where yorubas constitute over 95% of the population whom are both Muslims and Christian massively voted a non-lagosian was a proof he's not what he's claiming to be.. So Thought you guys said they don't vote for outsiders Shows tolerance unlike other states and tribes

shinealight:My friend that your bolded is a cheap lie. OBJ was popular in the SW between towards 2003 at least. You are simply a kid. I was in secondary school in Lagos when he was president and not once or twice did he come to Lagos and receive a rousing welcome from people. I first saw him on Falomo bridge in 2001 when he was passing by and people were hailing him. You can tell me where you were in 2001. So stop regurgitating APC propaganda. Secondly, OBJ was not more imposed on Nigeria than Tinubu. Both were voted massively by the north. That OBJ was not voted by the SW in his first term does not make him an imposition. You sound like those Obidients you guys like to malign. They will also tell you Tinubu was imposed on Nigeria in 2023 simply because he lost Lagos, Abuja, rigged Rivers and lost throughout the SE. That is someone talking from his narrow prism of experience. OBJ won in 1999. He won ALL the states in the North while his opponent was not even known in the North then. Funny enough you guys claim Obi lost because he lost the North but you somehow believe Falae won in 1999 despite losing woefully in same North. Rest 2 Likes |

ijustdey: Action congress was southwest party after AD was scattered. There were a lot of other smaller parties in the north. So, which one belongs to Atiku and why can't he fly his presidential ambition through his party. Can you say today that Asiwaju becomes president on another person's party? Mergers are ok but decamping is completely different. He (jagaban) said it during campaign that he gave his party platform to Atiku to contest. |

Eriokanmi:@Eriokanmi, How's it going? I want you to read this feedback to the end. Tbh, while constructive criticism is a vital aspect for giving positive feedbacks, the only thing I'm beginning to get irritated with some of your posts is your tendency to get into hyper criticisms and behave in a self-righteous manner by attacking the man who is now the current President of Nigeria. It's a fact that it was the foresight and master plan put in place by that man called Bola Tinubu that made it possible for the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ), the new Lekki Deep Seaport, the Dangote Petrochemical Refinery at the LFTZ and more Industries to come on stream as of today. I'm not his biggest fan because of some of his annoying gentlemanly actions (with regards to not dealing with his public image that has been hugely dented by online criminal defamations and propaganda) but I will NOT join dishonest folks to say he didn't do anything in Lagos State. He and his lieutenants from Babatunde Fasola, Akinwunmi Ambode, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and more, are indeed the architects of the renewal of modern Lagos State that had been left abandoned after the brutal military dictatorships and in a very deplorable state of infrastructural decay when he became a Governor in 1999. The rebuilding and gentrification of Broad Street on Lagos Island and other CBD areas, and the push back of the raging Atlantic Ocean water surges that had overwhelmed Victoria Island and parts of Lekki with the construction of Eko Atlantic City put a stop to the total disappearance of Victoria Island (Iruland) from the face of the earth. I still remember even back in the very early 1980s, the beachfront was far away from the Modupe Osikoya Street and Ahmadu Bello Way axes bordering the Bar Beach. Even the financial sagacity he brought in to increasing the Lagos IGR from a couple of millions to the billions (N600 million to N5 billion monthly during his administration as Governor of the State from 1999 to 2007) that it is today is commendable and his knack for choosing technocrats to work with him in government being a technocrat and former Senior Treasurer of Mobil Nigeria (now ExxonMobil) is commendable. You've been sounding like a broken record with your consistent jabs at him and it's been a long time that you've not liked him. It didn't start during the last Presidential election cycle. You did say that your father is from Edo and your mother is Yoruba and I'm wondering if that is responsible for your resentful posts towards your mother's ethnic people in your posts as well? I remember you also once complained in your post during the last election cycle that you were denied bursary when you applied for it during Tinubu's Governorship years and you didn't hide that fact online. This indeed is part of why you don't like him and more. Whatever the reason, as best as you can, just forgive him and every other person who may have offended you covertly and overtly. I think you feel hurt badly and disappointed over the sequence of events over the years. Remember you and your family survived COVID-19 which you shared here last month on a thread and it was a HIGHLY moving testimonial as a survivor during those lockdowns. I hardly ever respond to your posts whenever you get riled up, but I have to do this here. I believe looking at some of the indices that things will look up with Dangote Refinery PMS coming on stream in June and the CNG refill station deployments which would lead to a lower cost of production and more. Tbh, some of the headwinds we are hearing and reading about coming out of Nigeria in terms of hyperinflation are not the best, and Diasporan Nigerians and Nigerian folks aren't happy at the turn of events, but I have seen some indices that things will pan out right from this June. Enjoy the rest of your work week. |

membranus:He once stated here on NL that his father is from Edo State while his mother is Yoruba. He said so himself in some of his posts. I wonder if that is what is responsible for his consistent attacks on this man... A case of self-hate of his own mother's people or something. He's annoyingly sounding like a broken record with his self-righteousness tbh. 1 Like |
Re: Atiku: How I Saved Tinubu’s Political Career by Eriokanmi: 5:36pm On Jun 10 |
Konquest:Point of correction. I'm not attacking anyone. I don't like Tinubu's ideologies, same way as millions of lagosians who didn't vote him. As you can see, I'm not one of those whose sources are not known. Where's Tinubu from, can you tell cos he's not part of us in lagos. He's denying everything.He adopted that name, not his real name. Shame on all those claiming to be omoluabi but still following such a controversial man like him. My dad is from a yoruba town in edo state, same way the likes of dino melaye, smart adeyeni etc are yorubas from yoruba towns in kogi state. So, I'm yoruba not bini man. I'm not hiding my identity. We bear yorubas names and speak only yoruba called akoko dialect, same as akungba and ikare akoko dialect. I'm lagosian by birth and origin while my mum is lagosian. Dad was born in lagos but chose to align with edo. That's my genealogy my friend. I'm more lagosian than tinubu, sanwoolu and his deputy. We know their roots. Finally, democracy is a choice. You claim I keep attacking your mentor when you guys are also guilty of same offence by constantly attacking Obi, my candidate. It's normal in democracy so, respect my choice. 1 Like |

Eriokanmi:@Eriokanmi, I just saw your mention and didn't realize you had made this post here. I only got to read it after posting the real NL feedback which I just sent to you right NOW. Tinubu ain't my mentor and I'm not his biggest fan... As a Diasporan, I've never met him in my over 5 decades on earth. I sent you a positive feedback so that some self-reflections can take place here for the good of all. I'm getting to understand some of your insightful perspectives in this post of yours. A few Edo-born folks online were saying that NO Yoruba community exists in the Akoko Edo area of Edo and there was this back-and-forth here in the Culture section of NL. But here you have confirmed that your town is one. A guy here claimed that his own folks in Akoko Edo are related to the Ebiras, so, it's clear that Akoko Edo is NOT monolithic in ethnic origins. I do know of the people of Usen and Egbeta (near Benin) who clearly identify with their Ile Ife ancestries and Yoruba roots though they are bilingual and speak their dialect of Yoruba and Bini languages. Olumide Akpata is said to have his paternal roots linked to the Ogbebor family of Usen, though his paternal side migrated to Benin. Usen was founded by Oranmiyan's older brother who came from Ife (Ufe) with Oranmiyan, who then moved from Usen on his way to Igodomigo (the Benin area) to found the Oranmiyan dynasty as the first Oba. Cheers. |

Atiku is the worst politician Nigeria ever produced. He has never been on the ladder of the smallest truth in life but always goof his mouth. |
Re: Atiku: How I Saved Tinubu’s Political Career by Eriokanmi: 4:32am On Jun 11 |
Konquest:A large percentage of Akoko Edo LGA towns speaks yoruba. Some have their dialects in addition while some others speak only yoruba. They're not part of the Oranmiyan brouhaha. They migrated from aloko and other parts of ondo state to settle in that place many centuries ago. Some towns that are supposed to be part of ondo were merged with edo due to state creation and boundary formation. For instance, my town fell on the edo side cos of the river Osę, which was the boundary landmark between ondo and edo states. Otherwise, it would have been inside ondo state and once you cross that river, you're in edo state and vice versa. We have such in all states. Ikpoba oha people speak yoruba like locals. They moderated from ondo state as well. They're not inside Akoko edo. They're very close to Benin. The Ebiras founded a town called igarra which is the HQ of Akoko Edo LGA. It's also called Etuno. 1 Like |

shinealight:I have told you to stop meandering. Atiku is talking about 2007 but you're here talking about 2014. Some of you don't even know what they are arguing about. As at 2007, it was AC but the one you're mentioning and those he moved to form APC are from ACN. Know the difference. The question now, some are saying Tinubu saved or helped Atiku but Atiku is saying he helped Tinubu and he went ahead to reeled out how they formed AC and those that formed it. You people should try and understand topic, this is how some of you fail exam. Mingling 2007 with 2014, you're lost. |

BabaO2:Since you guys like going off point. The issue in discourse is about Tinubu and Atiku but you myopically brought in OBJ to the narrative but with that I will school you small. You claimed OBJ have no power to confront Tinubu but I put it to you that the respect and command OBJ has in this nation and beyond, Tinubu doesn't have one quarter of it. It's only OBJ in this country that will go to NE, NW, SS, SE and talk and they will heed to his talk because of the respect they have for him. Please aside the SW, which region can Tinubu cough even with the power of presidency and they will listen to him? OBJ is the only living Nigerian that the world still respect till date and you have the audacity to vomit that OBJ doesn't have power to confront Tinubu, Kain. Do you think we are talking of Agberos and thugs issue here? How would someone with his right sense compare OBJ's recognition with Tinubu local champion? No doubt OBJ never played his politics well, as he was traveling up and down in his first term and left Atiku to control governance and he almost hijacked the government from him and before he realized time had gone but at that he still maneuvered himself. Now, give it to Atiku and OBJ, if they are the type that played dirty politics like Tinubu, he would not have survived the political onslaught on him, because it was easier then to do that than now. Also appreciate someone like Osinbajo that was doing the underground work for Tinubu and doesn't allow clipping of his wings then by the then Presidency. Besides, learn to stay within discourse and stop jumping like toad. Issue in discourse is between Atiku and Tinubu and not OBJ. |

Re: Atiku: How I Saved Tinubu’s Political Career by Konquest: 10:52pm On Jun 11 |
Eriokanmi:@Eriokanmi, That's awesome! Thanks for the deep insights here. Indeed, the dude that vehemently said that no Yoruba communties exist in Akoko Edo is from the Igarra axis and alluded to his Ebira (Etuno) connection, but some other folks took him on and started listing names of some Yoruba towns for him with YouTube videos of Yoruba folks speaking dialects from those Edo communties around the Ose River which you spoke about. The uploaded videos are still here on NL. I remember a guy from Usen in Ovia South West LGA of Edo State posted here on NL during the COVID-19 lockdowns that his people wanted a boundary adjustment to move to Ondo State but the Oba of Benin had been blocking the move. They greet one another there in Usen with the salutation "Delauhe," meaning "How is Ife (Uhe)" emphasizing their Ile-Ife origins going back to the era of Oranmiyan's older brother. Infact Usen High Chiefs play a strong role during the coronation ceremony of every Oba of Benin. In Benin, the YouTube video interview that I watched indicated that the Benin royal family descendants greet one another with the salutation "L'mogun" which is a reference to the Yoruba deity Ogun, the God of war and iron. I appreciate your insights here. All the best! 1 Like |
