@Mautiin01 It is both low self-esteem and double standard

[Dr Dípò Awójídé @OgbeniDipo]

Over the past few years, a troubling pattern has emerged in our political discourse. Anyone who does not support Peter Obi is instantly branded a “bigot” by many Obidients.

To them, political neutrality is impossible, you must support him, praise him, and centre him, or you are automatically an enemy. You must also not support any other candidate.

I have been commenting on Nigerian politics since 2010, and in all that time, I have never encountered a political movement this intolerant of opposing views. Not even during the heated GEJ and Buhari years.

Some Yoruba people supported Goodluck Jonathan in 2011. He is an Ijaw man. Other Yoruba people supported Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. He is a Fulani man. But suddenly, in 2023, supporting a Yoruba candidate, one with a demonstrably strong record in public office, became “evil”.

On a personal note, the 2023 election was eye‑opening. I was defamed aggressively, both before and after the polls. The level of hostility shocked me. It felt as if a narrative had been engineered to demonise anyone who refused to fall in line and support Peter Obi.

Trying to understand this, I went back to history. I bought an Awo biography, because if you want to understand Nigerian politics, you must start with Chief Obafemi Awolowo who did well to document the early years. And what I discovered changed everything.

Reading The Biography of Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 2023, I realised that the tactics used by Obidients were not new at all. The same strategies of emotional blackmail, weaponised propaganda, moral absolutism, and the demonisation of opponents, were deployed in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
Awo documented them clearly. History was repeating itself.

That discovery reframed the entire 2023 experience for me. And since then, I have been collecting his books. Frame 1 and Frame 2 were bought off Amazon. Frame 3 was gifted to me today by my wife and kids for Father’s Day. Frame 4 adds even more context.

Understanding our political past is the only way to make sense of our political present. Guys, please invest in books. They will make you understand who you are, what makes you strong, and why you cannot be a slave to the opinions and propaganda of folks who don’t even have your brain power.

The ethnic Nationality in Nigeria who see it as their birthright to rule Yorùbáland politically are Igbos.
This obsession for political power and domination of the Yoruba people by Igbos started via Nnamdi Azikwe.

It does not matter whether we are in regional system of government or state structure system of government, Igbos see themselves as rightful owners of Yorùbáland.

The only people who are angry that Afro-carribeans and Yorùbás in England created an ideologically driven Yorùbá party are Igbos and there fellow deluded Obidients.
They are cvrsing Yorubas in Nigeria for not allowing Igbos become our governors in a Yorùbá state like Lagos state in a country where Igbo militias like ESN openly hunt down Fulani people in Igboland.

Yoruba youths must wake up to the reality that your indigenous political power is your IRON DOME to survival in a country filled with terrorist sympathizers and ethno supremacist ideology.

Yoruba youths must not end up in the gallows before realizing they have been used.
Any nonsense liberalism that is not practiced in Onitsha or Aba or Zamfara must not be allowed in Yorubaland.

This people are evil; and manipulators per excellence. We must learn on how to protect our turfs aggressively like others. This is beyond politics but survival.

[Aare kurunmi kakanfo @AKakanfo]

Southwest political leaders are busy planning to build a prosperous and advanced Southwest while ethnic nationalists from the South East are planning to hijack it and take over the same South West. If they are not transferring hundreds of thousands of voters to come and influence electoral outcomes in the South West, they are advocating for the destruction of state of origin, so that they can have legal backing for their unhidden state capture agenda in the South West.

Awolowo was building the Southwest while Azikwe was running around scheming on how Igbos will take it over. In fact Zik went to join Ogboni confraternity and named one his sons "Bamidele" in order to gain local acceptance for political takeover of Yorùbáland.

Ojukwu was fighting for Igbo self determination but instead turned his Biafran army towards Yorùbáland with ambition to annex Lagos and capture Ibadan.

Until we stop Igbo nationalists from thinking any inch of Yorùbáland is their territory or sphere of influence, Yorùbáland within Nigeria might not know peace. Every region in Nigeria has been able to checkmate their expansionist agenda except the Yoruba people who still do not understand that they are at war.

No apologies!

Furthermore:

There is no Lagos-Ijebu, Lagos-Ekiti, Lagos-Ibadan, or Lagos-Idanre. It is not merely that the Yoruba do not scavenge other people's cultures; they do not even covet the identities of their own brothers.

A river that knows its source does not envy another stream. A tree with deep roots does not borrow another tree's shade.

Self-esteem. Self-pride. Self-worth.

[Ibrahim B Jinadu @IB_Jinadu]

Some of you tagged Lagos state as “No Man’s Land.” You are now gaslighting by calling it “a cosmopolitan state.” From this, you seem to think you should coin the phrase “Lagos Igbo.”

There is no established ethnic group called “Lagos Igbo.” You may have “Delta Igbo” (the Igbo speaking communities in Delta State), but “Lagos Igbo” (the Igbo speaking communities in Lagos) has never been a thing here, can never be a thing, will never be a thing.

We will continue to correct this intuition. We only have Igbo residents in Lagos.

@TheYorubaTimes @AKakanfo Among all mental disorders, the one displayed by this young man and others like him, is the hardest to cure. Something is truly wrong with these people.

[Blessing Adéòtí, PhD @badeoti01]

@glchouin @ShalomDickson For the relics or for the sedimentation? The sedimentation rates are pretty very rapid if the relics are themselves that young. The study area seems more like a plain rather than sitting on the foot of a hill. That is interesting!

[Blessing Adéòtí, PhD @badeoti01]

@glchouin @100Nyra Okay. This is shedding some geomorphological light on my curiosity.

[Blessing Adéòtí, PhD @badeoti01]

@glchouin Interesting! Whereas archeologists date these relics/artefacts, I am uncertain if you date the sedimentation layers/cover. It will be interesting to know the deposition rates of the soil three major soil horizons, and if it has any relation with the end of that cultural 'episode'

@woye1 @PeterObi @abikedabiri @nidcom_gov @YusufTuggar @SenVictorUmeh @Ojukwu_Bianca He is more than a dangerous man.

[Woye @woye1]

You are a bad student of history. Stop misleading people.

1: @abikedabiri of @nidcom_gov started this process.

2: @YusufTuggar supported her.

3: @SenVictorUmeh also played a significant legislative role

4: @Ojukwu_Bianca just signed it off and negotiation had been concluded before she was appointed as Foreign Minister.

5: who approved the whole process: your President @officialABAT

6: Your appreciation should go to him.

7: You are a dangerous person

[Blessing Adéòtí, PhD @badeoti01]

@TheYorubaTimes ..it WAS NOT because the voters were....

[Blessing Adéòtí, PhD @badeoti01]

@TheYorubaTimes This is a deliberate soft war on the Yoruba people and should not be allowed. It was because the voters were genuinely living in Lagos State or at Isolo. The move should be reversed and cancelled. Desperate actions require desperate reactions.

[Unruly @pontrol_777]

Good day @drobafemihamzat
I am here again!
When you get into office next year, after wining the governorship election (by Gods grace) you have to handle these terrorists with really tough hands! These are genocidal statements! Lagos is Yoruba land!
The visitors we received into our land don’t see it as a cosmopolitan Yoruba state anymore! They have wiped it out!
Don’t give them memo that we co-own Lagos!! Don’t be bullied like they bullied Sanwo-Olu
When you start carrying out demolitions of their illegal structures, don’t listen to their leaders that enabled this statements! Be tough 😡🫵

[Blessing Adéòtí, PhD @badeoti01]

@HRH_bankeoniru The present is the key to the past. The Ibos current mindset is the same as their earliest forbearers, and explains why they had no lasting society legacy to point to today. They won't focus on building their space, but want to insert themselves until they learn the hard way.

[Blessing Adéòtí, PhD @badeoti01]
