mignone: Lool. These clowns just travel everywhere like excited tourists to make up numbers, take pictures, and hide their loot. Even the old man, Boo-harry of the infamous BuTravels inc, stays traveling everywhere, while the country he's meant to be leading/governing is burning. ![]() Anyway, Yorubas don't have leaders. We need new leaders who have a blueprint. All these rogues are products of Nigeria - not Yoruba leaders. |

But what beats my imagination of this SW leaders is their continue penchant for disagreeing to do something that will benefit the whole of the yorubas regardless of party lines, why the whole SW cannot agree to pool resources together and become equity partners on some gigantic project like opening some industrial hubs up like in Ondo to cater for our teeming army of unemployed youths. Why should agreeing to come together for your people be looked on from the prism of politics or greed. if they were bent on letting the refinery sited in Ondo, they should have rallied round the suppose governor and ask he let the house know what are the challenges he feels he will be facing should refinery be sited at his backyard. If it was road infrastructure and others, if it means pouring money using DAWN or ODUA investment as vehicle to get this done and building necessary organised estates to attract as much people into that areas so be it. Atimes i feel we are our own worst enemies with political egos flying back and forth all the time . . . . .and still, the greatest good for the greatest number of people still left unmet whilst our youths continue to wither away. |

Aareonakakanfo: Am yet to be fully convinced we have matured politicians in this clime, everyone kinda in it to clean out and point fingers once things go haywire, how on earth can a country be richly blessed in the soil, on the waters and good climate and still cannot stand on her feet never ceases to baffle me. If i may go down memory lane, Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and Denmark as a whole is made up of 700 little islands by leveraging on their marine power they literally built an industry out of water! from fishing to tourism to having the largest container shipping cargo (MEASK) birthed from their country tells me the endless possibilities coastal industries can give birth to if we really take it serious. Then you have a country like Ireland with ferry services across the English channels, carrying everything from trucks, cars, goods, services and what have you, sailing is bout 3 hours from Holyhead to Dublin and boy o'l boy, those ships never run empty and they do bout 8 trips a day btw Irishferries and Stanalines. . . . . . .again smart folks leveraging on their coastal powers. Like someone opined earlier, would't it be so nice we have some kind of coastal travel between Lagos and Ondo? the benefit to dangote refinery and the allied industries that will spring up as a result of siting same in Ondo can't be a thumbs down in anyway. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Aareonakakanfo: I supported APC during the election cos I knew Buhari would win a year before the election cos the external forces wanted regime change in Nigeria and GEJ's not their guy. Then GEJ was an utter failure and the dumbest/worst leader to ever rule a country. Ditto the fact that he was a sectional leader and you can't give a leader as useless as that a 2nd term with nothing to lose, unless you want utter destruction. Coupled with Yoruba interests due to the APC structure being firmly in their pre-election and the fact that I thought they would hold their own in realpolitik and, get certain things/concessions from the centre. However, Buhari is starting to look more like GEJ 2.0. Like seriously, what type of leader goes on a jamboree of foreign trips when his country is burning? Yorubas lost out in the power-play and realpolitik. And it's back to the GEJ era albeit it moved from SE/SS to North. Nigeria is basically just cursed with the worst set of leaders/politicians. You need to lock into NFL - it's fun. Newsflash: Kobe Bryant to retire at the end of this season. |

Permit me to observe that it does not take any brain power to criticise and call your leaders failures and folks who are bereft of great ideas. Such criticisms do not really require any genius. Most of the so-called leaders were once students abroad who were bright enough to return home and who worked their ways to leadership positions. The armchair youths of today, including many dumb ones on this thread forming expert analysts, I'm sorry to say, are worse than the leaders they are criticising. The leaders are not aliens from Mars but fellow Nigerians and Yorubas. Get off your butts, roll up your sleaves, get in the trenches and show us how it is done. If you don't do that, I'm afraid 10years from now, you may still be on nairaland criticising the leaders of the day. I have confidence that most of you are mature enough to take constructive criticisms. Yoruba youths ronu o. Je kin salo ki won to fi tantrum attack mi ni bi o. ![]() |

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by InterloperX5: 2:10am On Nov 30, 2015 |
Have always had it in me, if i ever be in a position to govern a state, i will have a mindset i will be on the job for only one term and literally give it all I can as for second term?! i really can't b bothered because i perceive in their quest to make a second go at the helm of affairs again, they flow with the status quo and tend not to think outside the box and indirectly stifle development. As it is i really don't think the masses are really benefitting anything from having truck loads of APC governors and legislators that can actually wear their thinking cap and marshal out a plan of action for a gigantic pan yoruba project in one or two states during the tenure, seems they promise all whilst campaigning, get voted in and make a volte face afterwards. |

Aareonakakanfo: you know when wealth is not seen to be distributed across the citizenry then crime is a most, but if folks are getting engaged, not just the educated alone but the artisans as well the society thrives. But really we have a very good tropical weather so this ferry or ships can sail for the better part of the day if night travel is an issue, again imagine a straight train ride from lagos to ibadan using the lagos ibadan road axis, who ever invest in that will certainly reap their money over and over as population opens up Ibadan and her environs all thanks to that train ride, multiplier effect will be a quick up surge in commuters from outside lagos and thereby decongest the city just a little bit. 1 Like |

Aareonakakanfo: Criticisms may not be enough. Some of the known noisemakers including some on this thread (you excluded), have been criticising for years without anything to show for it. More tangible steps may be in order. By the way, I am not as partisan as you may think. I also appreciate your maturity, keep it up. |
