it is high time this thread is resuscitated.

No let's keep attacking IPOB

The best and one of the longest and sane thread in Politics section.

BermudaTriangle:



Whatever growth rate we may be experiencing now is nothing compared to what would've been if we had separated. Nigeria union is stunting our growth and has collapsed our educational advantage which free education gave us.
We should opt out of this union before it is too late.

I agree with you my brother. We definitely need our people to wake up.

veraponpo:


Jericho for example is a place you can compare with Ikoyi Lagos. Ibadan is quite underrated by many.

There was a grand plan especially by the nairaland Igbos to tanish the image of the city of many first.But thank God they are now tired when Afonja e-warriors didnt relent in busting their lies.

segend:
For the christians in the house, most pentecostal churches were started by yoruba.
Daystar--------- sam adeyemi
Winners--------- Bishop oyedepo
Redeem, covenant christian center, elevation church, harvesters, mountain of fire, deeperlife,

Actually Yorubaland=Nigeria.

jstbeinhonest:



underrated? No!,lets face it ibadan is supposed to be way developed than it is now.This was the capital of the western region,ibadan was reputed as the most developed west african city.

It suffered neglect with creation of many states from western region and long years of military rule.

Thank God for Ajimibi,the face of the city has really changed under his tenure

1.Ibadan get 5 new malls
2.A new park "Agodi garden"
3.New roads dualized...dugbe onireke axis,New garage etc...
4.Dualization of old ife road and Akobo road is ongoing
5.Expansion of iwo road to oke adu road into 8 lanes is also on -going.

segend:


I think that is why people are disappointed in ibadan, should be almost at par with lagos, if the development rate from pre 1966 era was maintaned.

Even than lagos.It was developing faster than lagos.

jstbeinhonest:



Sometimes i wonder where ibadan got it wrong.

Apart from the neglect,they also relax!

There is nothing bad from Ibadan its own international airport.

Also,Ibadan supposed to be a state on its own like lagos.

Imagine if the skyscrapers development in dugbe is not truncated by poor leadership...It would've been a rival to Victoria island and lagos island today!

Do you even know why countries set up airports? Do you think it is just for show?

Nice talk,poor manner of delivery.

Try and improve on how to share the little knowledge God gave you in an humble manner.

Housing and education are aspects that deserve serious attention in Oyo State..

Hmmm,you are right.

However dont be deceived by ibadan brown roof and being local propaganda being championed by the Igbo(s).It is not that worst.

I visited there last year. It was not as bad as I thought. Definitely Top 10 in Nigeria. They need to improve on housing and basic education (primary & secondary).

Are the mods deleting Yoruba threads? Or am the one imagining it?
I tried checking the Constitution draft thread created by ooduapathfinder this morning.I could not find.
Same with mayoroflagos's thread.

I think they were deleted.

Seun, why did you guys delete ooduapathfinder's thread? This is annoying

Other social media sites dont bahave like this. Why da hell did you guys delete those threads?

deedeedee1:

I think they were deleted.

but why

PROUDLYAFONJA1:
but why

I do not know myself. Mynd44, why did you guys delete ooduapathfinder's thread?

Guys, someone asked why the thread on the Oodua Constitution draft was deleted. I sighed. I could feel the angst and disappointment in everyone's posts, when they couldn't find the thread.

Something similar happened to this same thread too, that made respondents lose interest in continuing the stimulating discussions that took place daily here.

Initially, knowledge flowed like water, right here. Historical, cultural and political ties were shared and discussed. Ideas on how to move the Southwest region forward, were debated with passion. The camaraderie was infectious. Both Yorubas and non-Yorubas like myself, enjoyed ourselves immensely. In less than 21 days, the thread grew to over 250 pages plus. Even the DAWN programmes were discussed and analysed. This thread became a treasure trove.

That was when we started noticing strange things happening.

The Yoruba Commonwealth thread was first moved to the Culture section. After several objections, it was moved back to the Politics section, with a caveat that the name should be changed.

Later people started getting banned almost on a daily basis, under the flimsiest excuses you could think of. Posts started disappearing.

That was when a lot of people started getting disenchanted with the thread. Calls were made to the mods to address certain issues, which they never did.

Slowly but surely, interest started waning, the discussions lost steam, and the main respondents left NL. It was such a sad ending, to a most promising journey.

I don't know why the mods get rattled by the success of such threads. Again, history appears to be repeating itself. The new thread titled Draft of Oodua Region Constitution was not injurious or harmful to anybody. Just like the Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics thread, did not have any negative impact on anyone. But the mods in their wisdom, did their worst then. And they are still doing it now, without giving any explanations or any reasons to anyone, for their action. But my consolation is that the things which are hidden in secret, are open to the eyes of God.

I have been looking for that thread. Read from page 1 last night; so many great contributions and thoughts from the likes of AkinPhysicist, ColonelDrake and others.

So Nairaland politics section is now in control of an igbo tribalist mod right ?

Hahaha...SMH!

Demmzy15:
Rilwayne001, they've deleted that Yoruba constitution thread ooo! I thought it was moved to "racist subsection", this is not fair. I was "gbaduning" the discussion, Seun, why do like this?

In fact, o toju su mi

Yorubas should start to look to relocate to another forum. Nairaland is turning into a joke, and honestly, Yorubas are the only ones that offer great and thoughtful conversation. Any suggestions to relocate?

Why?
The thread was civil.

MrMaestro:

Great suggestion! But what are your thoughts on the owner of Nairaland gan gan! Seun (a supposed yoruba guy who is supposed to be No 1. agent of fairness and sanity here on his website)...

If I should be honest, I might get a ban...

Same here.
Well I don't know o.
Apart from those two threads,there's one created by a markfemi2 moniker that got deleted too.
I can't remember the title.
Something needs to be done.

Another site sprang up shortly after this thread was laid to rest. I can't remember the name now. But Areonakakanfo was active on that site. Will look for it and send you a PM.
