I don't follow people's ID okay. I have a hard time remembering all of mine.

Wow, but they sound different.

I hope my people in Ogun state aren't eating toxic ponmo.

That's the trending news right now.

They don't sound different at all.

Whenever you see "Yoruba commonwealth", just know it's negrontns/dudunegro/mayoroflagos.

The "negrontns" handle was just more of a historian than the other two.

Katsumoto:


First, I never stated that you insulted the said men of honour; I stated that you sully their names. And I posit that you do so because you want to elevate or defend Tinubu. On this thread alone, you have mentioned their names severally. Why is that? Like I stated earlier, Fawehinmi, Soyinka, Solarin PROVIDED a social conscience for the nation at great risks to their lives, health, well being, finances. To reduce them to failed politicians to make a point is what I refer to as 'sully'. See below for one of several posts you made mentioning their names.



Second, you do use Kashamu and other PDP rogues as a benchmark because you continue to remind us that without Tinubu, these would be the men in power. And like I stated earlier, it would be better to use other better indices which show the improvement in the lives of the people as benchmarks. When Obama supporters want to defend Obama's record, they point to GDP today as against when he came to power, they point to inflation, price of gas, teenage pregnancy, unemployment stats, etc. They don't tell us that if Obama didn't win, McCain would be president. It is better to use positives for benchmarking. Why focus on the bad?

Third, that some political pigs want the entire political field to be a pigsty doesn't mean the rest of society has to accept it. This is where I disagree with you. I don't care for George, Kashamu, Daniel, OBJ and other PDP goons because they should never be the standards for governance. I may not be on the ground in Nigeria but I know what good governance is and know the drivers for good governance.

Fourth, grass root politics is no more than 'stomach infrastructure' politics. It is a dirty way of controlling politics. It is a feudal type system. The peasants report to an area father who in turn pledges loyalty to godfather. People can't make their own decisions because they have to be subservient and obedient to someone higher in the hierarchy. Is this what learned and reasonable people should be promoting and defending? Shouldn't we be discussing ways to dismantle this archaic, unjust, corrupt, and unproductive system?

Lastly, I am sorry but I have zero energy for negativity. I prefer to focus on what can be achieved and not what is real because our realities in this world is what we choose it to be. In addition, let us do away with name calling just because we have disagreements. I have disagreed many times with Dayo, Shymexx, etc but it is always respectful.

Please ignore any typos.

I, and a lot of people I know who voted apc, are disappointed in ambode.

The guy inherited a working system and then he basically dismantled fasholas structures, then he went on some bizarre mission to sully fasholas reputation. Then he is taking pages from the Worst of PDP governors, (challenging bus drivers ala fayose), from gej (disjointed rejoinder to the economist scathing article ).

When the man goes to inspect anywhere, he comes off as just coming from a party or being on some sort of jamboree. The robbers have always been on the roads, but they are much more confident right now.

In the wake of the cash crunch, aregbesola seriously fell hand by holding onto the bailout funds and delaying payment of salaries. If I recall, he was demanding workers letters of employment or some such.

*faints*

Oyb is back too.

Six months seem too short to pass this type of judgement. The Economist's piece is flawed on several levels.

This is the sort of thinking that did gej in

And your response mirrors ambode response.

Why would ambode dissolve the boards of all parastatal s on resuming office? Is that continuity?

Why would he spread false news in the press about contracts awarded by fashions administration?

Why is Apapa gridlock practically a daily issue now?

All ambode had to say about his 100 days was saving 3billion. That was the sole 'achievement'

Lol. Is that the issue? How is dissolution of parastatals an impediment to continuity? You could as well have argued that he retains Fasola's cabinet to ensure continuity. Your logic is that change of personnel, not policies, constitute an impediment to continuity.

Why would he spread false news in the press about contracts awarded by fashions administration?

Didn't Fasola use 78 millions naira to build his website? How can what's factual be termed false news?

Why is Apapa gridlock practically a daily issue now?

I don't know.

Let me respond to Katz on Osun before I take a break.

Katz,
I still believe in the Yoruba of today as I do in those of past ages and their attitude to land. By custom Yorubas are cultivators of land. We are reputed as city and town builders. How did we build our cities and towns and infrastructures before the arrival of Julius Berger and Cappa d'Alberto?

We've seen pictures of palaces erected three storey high (in fact credit to Terracotta for being one of the first people to bring those into open here) with materials sourced locally from the land. Yorubas in uplands dammed rivers and built water channels. In Kabba, Yorubas used rocksalt to create minute statutes and art crafts numberimg thousands...the likes of which has not been recorded in any history of mankind. The walls of Eredo, the greatest monument in human antiquity, how did we do it? The great walls of Old Oyo and the forts, did Julius Berger build it?

These structures were put up with the communal effort.of the citizens. When citizens have a sense of.ownership in the cause they will sacrifice and volunteer for the collective benefit. Those structures were built in what today would be the responsibility of Public Works Department.

Do we have any PWDs left? We may not be able to achieve the same focus and passion using PWD in LAGOS but in OSUN where largely 90% citizens are invested in the land, I see no reason why a PWD in OSUN could not employ youths and put them to workto renew.and develop townships.

Our governments are taking loans to contract Julius Berger and all these foreign companies to come and build cities and towns for us. Where did our abilities dissapear to, who robbed us our skills to cultivate the land and bring beauty and majesty out of emptiness?

I will keep this short.

Im a strong advocate for redistribution of income. I understand the need to shore up our international ratings and credibility through global financial participation...big man's word for debt! Lol. What I dont understand is we starve our own citizens in order that our cities and towns can stand global acceptance....and we do so by blocking redistribution of income locally.

Osun should review all infrastructure contracts and do two things

1. Create a Marshall plan for employment, youth engagement and development

2. Redirect contracts awarded to foreigners and allocate it locally to boost wage earning, taxes, and discretionary spending so the money can funnel down and go round and bring people into recovery.

Shymmex, how popular is this Nigger named Skepta in the U.K?

I listened to him best Wizkid and Drake on the remix of Wizkid's "Ojuelegba".

That Nigger sounds like Nas during his "Illmatic" and "Nastradamus" days.

I think he's dope.

I googled him up and noticed he's also an Omo Oodua.

Finally....they've gone to bed.

Whaooooooo

The veterans are gradually returning, interesting.

Lecture time, where is my jotter......

Guy, you just spoke my mind. I have avoided commenting on PDP, APC, Tinubu etc., simply because I do not want to develop high blood pressure on a beautiful, sunny day. Ambode worked at close quarters with the previous governments in Lagos State. So he should have hit the ground running. For over 5 months after the elections were won, many things in Alausa almost came to a standstill because Ambode refused to form a cabinet, like Buhari.

You would make enquiries on progress of works in certain areas, and you would be told to wait until a Commissioner is appointed. Even on-going construction works which were on track during Fashola's time were halted, because of lack of direction and uncertainty as to what path Ambode would follow. For months under Ambode, there was no motion and no movement.

The Lagos HOMS project is a classic example. Houses were built with taxpayers money. Subscribers have paid in full for these apartments. All that is left is for govt to release allocations of the houses to those that have paid for them, and allow them to move in. What is so difficult about this??

Yet, till now everyone in Alausa is clueless about how to proceed. Some of the subscribers are complaining that they took commercial loans in some cases to be able to pay in full for those houses. No one is listening. And the worst of it all, is that there is no timeline on when the entire issue would be resolved.

The Apapa gridlock caused by fuel tankers is another issue that grieves my heart. After a lot of talk and showmanship, Ambode gave instructions that the tankers should relocate from Apapa. It was done, temporarily. But guess what? The road tankers merely shifted their parking lots to Apapa-Oshodi Expressway/ Mile 2 Area to cause another wave of chaos. Amuwo-odofin-Festac-Orile became a difficult stressful area to navigate because of the traffic. Now, the trucks have shifted back to Apapa, and the whole area again looks as if it is under siege. It is only in Lagos, that I see huge road tankers and trucks parked on bridges designed to support rolling stock and not stationary weights. Tomorrow, we would complain that those bridges have become defective. What does it take to get tanker drivers and owners to obey traffic laws and government orders?? Ambode has been unable to find a solution to this simple puzzle. May God save us all.

I love these colors, quality education and health care facilities are two things after my heart, any government that makes them priority can't do wrong.

Shymm3x:


Loool.

Ekiti folks don't want war.

What's the name of the Ekiti warrior during the Kiriji wars? I can't remember his name now.

They're going to scamper for cover like they did when they saw the Ibadan warriors during the Jalumi war.

Fabunmi?

Does anyone know where one can purchase UDCA (Ursodeoxycholic Acid) or a herbal gallstone medication (I would like to think our forefathers must have had a way of dealing with it) here in Nigeria?

I have not been able to find it, either I'm looking in the wrong places or I'm not looking well enough.

My peeps for naija make una help me expand my search yo.

I actually thought she just turned the noun "coconut" (a derogatory word for a black person that acts white) into an adjective. So, Ilekeh, you called me a "blockhead", no? - Diarisgod!!!

I'm like that and I'm sure the majority of folks on this forum don't like me. I just catch fun on here how I can. It's basically like in the real world as well. Though I'm more reserved, most folks that don't know me always think I'm arrogant/snobbish and they believe I think I'm better than everyone cos you'll never catching me smiling or watching people. And I seldom talk as well. However, once they get to know me - they know I'm a different animal, the type of guy you just can't hate.

My life's just simple and straight-forward...I don't take life seriously and I don't care about anything. I'm just like Mark Twain with a remix. The ideal life to me is about: good friends, good books, hustling,beautiful women, and a sleepy conscience.

Skepta is the biggest independent urban artist in the UK and he runs his own label/crew with brother JME called BBK (boy better know). He's very popular and has been for like a decade now. And chics love him to death. That's the king of grime right there, Junior Adenuga. My doozy - Tottenham massive. Brappp!

I already posted his profile and his brother's as well.

This is his remix of "Sweet mother" - this came out in 05/06 (can't remember what year).

Once again, Thumbs to Aareonakakanfo for this thread!!!

Ever since my long moments off Nairaland which has made me deactivate my St_Black handle, I gotta admit I have found it a bit challenging keeping up with recent momentum of intelligent discussions on the site. Damn, I really need some active political interactions for some months, just that my schedule won't let me. My Bad.

As for my simple contribution, I prefer we the enlightened Yoruba youths involve in politics and slug it out with these set of disgraceful and shameless old cargoes that have destroyed the bright futures of our mates out there. Permit me to say that in as much as politics aint no game for the weaklings, that shouldnt stop enough of us with the lionhearts. Truth is , these misfortune geezers have nothing for us but PAIN. I do not know of many or any of you my NL friends, I cant feign not been hit, but no thanks the resilience, resolve, and most especially the grace of the baba God i share with today's youths that has made live very OK, even though im still not one of 'em rich niggas. The point here is, the more we stand aside with arms akimbo looking at these crazy geezers govern us, the more they get enough shot to destroy the future of our last hopes- our children!

As it stands, you and I know its ALMOST finished for we youths of today seeing that even amongst us exists a sizable chunk whose parents benefit from this quagmire that has bedeviled us , lest we only wish to deceive ourselves. WHAT NEXT THEN guys?. Having powerlessly watched these people mortgage us so terrible this far, isnt it even a better option to face this monsters once and for all in the political arena? Tell me, what next is left for you and I in just two decades or more years when most of us have to but 'endure the pain forever' and end up initiating our helpless kids into the same pain we are passing through today?.. E jo e bami sori, ki lo tun ku fun wa bai?. Rather than keep watching, its better we shape out better times for the fast-paced times ahead of us AND most important our children by getting real in politics. It takes to have reliable men in the society to assure us a better life. I mean come on my people, we cant build a future only on just one single man called Fashola who for now only seems to have a good vision for the general populace. Great nations are built by the sacrifices of MORE THAN JUST ONE MAN.

US is what it is today not because Abraham Linc pioneered a radical evolution that will later rule the world, but because he had great minds like Washington, Madison, Benj Frankin, Roosvelt, and the likes CONSOLIDATE his vision.

The UK remains ever strong and stable as a tripod today not because of the hard work of Elizabeth 1, but because people like Sir Winston, Blair, Thatcher, et al reigned in the fireworks on her efforts.

Germany will never be Europe's powerhouse if Otto Von Bismarck never had Angela Merkel to continue his legacy.

On and on it goes like that....

No few decades have passed since the great Sage has gone resting, BUT look what we'v got fellas. Just a set of uneducated crooks and literate spivs. And mind you, these generations of thieves will never stop been an eyesore to we great sons and daughters of Oduduwa UNLESS we checkmate their madness, else, our kids join the bandwagon. How do we checkmate them? Simple. If majority of us can be involved in politics and push our cause, trust me, these sufferings will be cut down by large proportions.!!

If I have more time, I'll create a thread titled "Yoruba Politics for Yoruba Youths - A potent weapon vastly disregarded"

ENOUGH OF THE PAIN GUYS.!!

All in all great Bros and Sis,

In peace and greatness, One Love for the Westside!!!

Watching Ogagun Katsumoto in 5D.

Long time ma man!!
