tollyboy5:Ok, stop towing that part. Defending failure is always a hard nut to crack. |

tollyboy5:Name the infrastructure that Lagos has that Abuja doesn't have You showed a picture of rail line I said Abuja also has a train service far more than that of Lagos it's called Abuja metro |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by tollyboy5(m): 12:50pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis:Another trash. You said Abuja has more infrastructure. I showed you two metro line from Lagos now you came with Abuja is better? How? You don't even understand what you're saying |

Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by eastOFwest(m): 1:09pm On Apr 18 |
tollyboy5: You figures are factually incorrect sir. According to the data, SE gave Abiola about 48%, while the SW gave Jonathan about 58%. It's definitely not the 5% difference which he claims but he's adding the fact that Tofa had an Igbo man as running mate. |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by tollyboy5(m): 1:23pm On Apr 18 |
eastOFwest:I rounded it and said almost 60% . He brought the 33% stat not me. If it's 48% then it's all fair |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Davoneskay(m): 1:25pm On Apr 18 |
Mrvitalis, from the image you posted, Ekiti, Ogun, Lagos, and Ondo voted for Jonathan in the 2011 election and not just Lagos and Ondo. Check again. |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by eastOFwest(m): 1:27pm On Apr 18 |
tollyboy5: 👍🏿 |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by mrvitalis(m): 1:35pm On Apr 18 |
Davoneskay:My point is Jonathan bearly won those places not like he massively won them like yorubas claim |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by mrvitalis(m): 1:35pm On Apr 18 |
tollyboy5:I am telling you Abuja has a better metro than Lagos Abuja metro is better than Lagos metro that's my point Name what else Lagos have over Abuja |

mrvitalis: See bro, I'm tired of these back and forth of politics and tribalism. Our leaders are all insincere. Ja fun ori e (Fight for your own course)...paddle your own canoe. Let's stop unnecessary argument about politics, religion, and tribalism. I've been well-favored by people of opposite culture and beliefs. Don't be surprised if even Obi or Atiku decamps to APC tomorrow. Our leaders are only after their own selfish interests. |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by arantess: 1:58pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis:They are propagandists |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by mrvitalis(m): 2:20pm On Apr 18 |
Davoneskay:Our leaders are the same, why haven't the corrupt leaders made a corrupt igbo man president? Tell me |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Davoneskay(m): 2:41pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis: Thank God you know that Nigerians vote do not guarantee who become the leader. The Powers That Be are not comfortable with having an Igbo man as the president. This is due to several reasons. This country isn't ready for Igbo presidency. The Igbo tribe as well feel marginalized and their reaction to this marginalization lack diplomacy (sorry if I'm being harsh, but that's the best way I can put it) |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by mrvitalis(m): 2:46pm On Apr 18 |
Davoneskay: So there is tribalism even at the top abi? So you people that are allowed to get president should gather and fix the country and leave igbos out of it And for the record the only people who are not ready for igbo president is the yorubas |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Emmanuel900(m): 2:50pm On Apr 18 |
eastOFwest: Some governors won their state with just less than 5% edge and you are saying almost 60% was not massive. At the end what matter is who have the majority, Jonathan won 5 states out of 6 states and you say it wasn't massive. If he was contesting for the premier of western region he would have won with that type of outcome. You guys are super delusional. |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Sheuns(m): 2:58pm On Apr 18 |
tollyboy5: Lagos has bad roads and terrible road connections. Aside Epe, there’s no local government area I haven’t been to in Lagos state. One thing is common, bad inner roads and terrible road connections. |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Spybradd: 2:59pm On Apr 18 |
Yorubas voted for Jonathan 2011. Their votes added up to the eastern and south south votes to made him win. The north didn't vote for him. That was exactly why he lost 2025 because the west did not vote for him. He would have won if they did |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Davoneskay(m): 3:03pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis: You just proved the last statement in my previous post right...you guys reaction to your marginalization isn't diplomatic enough. You don't burn bridges in politics or even in business but build. You don't call all Yorubas, Afonjas and Hausas/Fulanis unprintable names. Prior to Buhari's emergence in 2015, we all saw his alliance with the SW. Also, Tinubu used years to build several bridges before he became a president. The Obedient movement have erroneously made Peter Obi to look like a toxic candidate himself. Permit me to add this, a lot of Nigerians perceive the Igbos as domineering and harsh. Mind you, I've worked in educational institutions remotely and on-site, hence, I've got interactions from people of different background concerning Igbos. Sardauna of Sokoto also said the same thing in an interview as well. The Powers That Be, like I said aren't comfortable with Igbo presidency. I would have said more deeper things, but your people will come for my head. 1 Like |

mrvitalis: 1. Abuja doesn't have water transportation system 2. Lagos state has neighbourhood watch, a local security outfit for the state Abuja has none of such 3. Lagos has Intra state rail line and interstate rail system, Abuja only have interstate. |

mrvitalis: I ve been leaving in Abuja before you graduated in 2015. Which Abuja Metropolis does the Abuja Methro covered? |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Davoneskay(m): 3:17pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis:The ethnic division between Yorubas and Igbos have lingered for so long. It worsened when Jonathan lost to Buhari. The social media which should have been used to unify both warring tribes have been used to disintegrate them. If ethnic distrust can be limited between both groups by all possible means, then, I see Yorubas supporting an Igbo presidency. To be candid, I've met some pro-Yorubas who see Charles Soludo as someone who can ganered massive votes from the SW. I still wonder why he has never declared any interest for presidency. Honestly, I perceive Soludo and Iweala differently from our average leaders. |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by mrvitalis(m): 3:21pm On Apr 18 |
Davoneskay:Trust me if soludo has a realistic chance of winning you would be reminded of all his crimes Yorubas for what ever reason don't want am igbo president People who instigate North against igbos sre yorubas People who instigate South South against igbos are yorubas I can understand that yorubas don't like Igbos majority... But hating Igbos and being against igbo separation is what I can't get |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by mrvitalis(m): 3:21pm On Apr 18 |
Ttalk:And you don't know Abuja metro |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Ttalk: 3:22pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis: You can't do without tribalism. How come Obi won Lagos in the last election? |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Ttalk: 3:24pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis: Stop fidgeting, where does Abuja Methro located and ply. Go and check the meaning of 'methro' A Methro rail is a rail system within a a state. Which area in Abuja does your Methro rail covers? |
Re: Did Yorubas Actually Vote Jonathan In 2011? by Davoneskay(m): 3:32pm On Apr 18 |
mrvitalis: It isn't just Yorubas hating Igbos, but Igbos also hate Yorubas. We've called each other negative names such as Ofem.manu, Omo Nna and so on. I personally want you Igbos to have your own separate country, but if wishes are horses, beggars will ride. Hausas/Fulanis and Yorubas presidency have never favored me or my families. Na dem dem e dey favour. I honestly hope that sooner than expected, an Igbo will rule this country or better still, we all go our separate ways. |
