with the introduction of a non indigene tuition fees or out of state tuition fees to me? it's a very wise thing and i certainly commend the proponents of this idea and executors albeit not like 300% though . . . .that's killing. but i would en all states in nigeria to throw in some kind of non resident or non indigent stealth tax across the country and curb this idea of folks heading en mass to other states and pile pressure on their social services and local infrastructure, that in itself will apart bring in some revenues to government coffers and this new found revenue can be used to compliment whatever budgetary allocation for such program however token it might be. the psychological benefits is even in measurable and this would certainly help create a good resident/non resident relationship, as the former will not look down on the later as fighting him in his turf for limited available resources without contributing nothing and the later will in turn appreciate the former in so many levels as a 'son of the soil'. i really don't blame the guys introducing 300% come think of it, it's a far better option than randomly deporting anyone lest one be accused of internal depotation and all them constitutional nuances that wil arise from such an action . . . . . . |

IlekeHD: if i may ask . . .whatever became of desola? years back she was a real enigma on nairaland and despite my many years of being on ghost mode, i found her to be a real class act anytime. just to let the guys that gave birth to this thread celebrating all things yoruba know . . . . as events unfolds positvely out here, more and more yoruba folks will be incline to log off their ghost mode and contribute meaningfully to discussion in here, some threads back then was a tard too dirty to even come on board and every one and everything had something so bad to say to one another, but safe zone to be here for me and hopefully i speak on behalf of many ghost too. again i commend the progenitors of this thread to continue to keep it clean/tidy and we all be good, am sure we will get the occasional wolves wanting to create drama on some fast moving threads, best we continue to isolate em and continue to enjoy the well thought of opinions and ideas the yoruba are notoriously famous for in a good way . . . . . thoughts |

This is the list of Yoruba boys I found playing for different football academies in the UK. They're all U-18, apart from Oduwa. I purposely left out a few established ones like: Ola Aina, Dele Alli, Moses Odubajo, and Dominic Solanke. Considering how difficult it's to get into football academies in the UK - especially when you have gone past the "schoolboy" age. These guys are talented. Coupled with the fact that, when you're not white, it's more difficult. So you have to be supremely talented and composed when you go for trials. And once you flop one chance during trials, you may not be able to get another one. Chelsea Fikayo Tomori Arsenal Tolaji Bola Nathan Tella Toby Omole Marc Bola Liverpool Sheyi Ojo Bobby Adekanye Manchester United Tosin Kehinde Manchester City Tosin Adarabioyo Nathaniel Oseni West Ham United Tunji Akinola Emmanuel Onariase Crystal Palace Jason Akiotu Fisayo Adarabioyo Fulham Elijah Adebayo Dennis Adeniran Charlton Athletic Ademola Lookman Leicester City Andre Olukanmi Leeds United Moses Abioye Dipo Olaosun Nicky Ajose QPR Olamide Shodipo Reading Daniel Akinwunmi Gabriel Osho Hammed Lawal Sheffield United Emmanuel Adebowale Southampton FC Olufela Olomola Stoke City FC Shola Ayoola Sunderland Avis Ganiyu Tottenham Hotspurs Daniel Akindayini Emmanuel Sonupe Nathan Oduwa Wimbledon FC Toyosi Olusanya Cardiff City Adedeji Oshilaja Burnley Olatunde Bayode Bradford City Kesi Omolokun cc: aareonakakanfo/CabbieAC, tupacshakur, forgiveness, raumdeuter, interloper et al P.S: you can highlight the names you feel aren't Yoruba names on the list. |

Katsumoto: Doing just fine bruv. Listen, it is good to read your posts again. And it is clear you are no less committed now as you were before, to fashioning an "alternative" plan of action which can nudge us from slumber ![]() By the way, after I left the last time, I did facilitate the formation of a online group elsewhere - just as I had sworn to do. I will shed some more light on this later, since its relative success/failure can aid our understanding of the constraints which rails against collective progress. |

naijababe:I agree with you...the first tenure was a real bliss Suffice to say, the free meal is still very much on. And like I said afore. Osun has the HIGHEST ENROLLMENT in basic school. I put this at the free meal ish. And the road network in the state is fairly better compare to many states I've been (and I've been at many). Whether PDP, APC, or LP et all, come 2018, we must put pressure on the party voted in to place Osun as an economic Zone...with the road infrastructures she's got, I bet and the proximity of Ikire to Ibadan, I forsee a change in fortune...

Shymm3x: Bruthaman from the Southside - the only one who reps a post code as much as I do - fair play to you for ening folks to move to higher ground on that unfortunate thread. It was the first thing I read when I came online...lover's tiff gone off a cliff, for sure. Nah, at best only a phyrric victory can be achieved by antagonist or protagonist. At worse, we could be talking time at HMP...etc. Aside from introducing worldly knowledge into the proceedings, you navigated the shark-infested waters well; and I, for one, applaud your efforts. 2 Likes |

raumdeuter: There are more people in Ogbomoso than the number of ed voters in the whole of Osun state (1.4 million)? I swear, I have never known a democractic nation which disenfranchises its electorate to the same degree Nigeria does. |

OnReflection: Thanks a lot, Sir. Coming from you, I really appreciate it. Before this post, in hindsight, I actually thought I shouldn't have gotten myself involved. However, I feel proud of myself now. We rep the post code. The post code that made/raised me. It gave me the game/knowledge I navigate the world with and, an experience that will always be part of my reality. I spent the best periods of my life in that post code. I can move out of there but the influences will never leave me. And I'll always remain the same boy from that post code. ![]() It was basically just a situation whereby, you can see someone you see as an e-brother drowning fast albeit he's too arrogant/conceited to see it, due to pride and the need to protect an inconsequential status on a faceless forum. And his holy grail would be to make a plea bargain. Then you've a black sister who's hurting emotionally/financially and, in the process, became illogical/irrational, while letting manipulators who've scores to settle with the e-brother get into her head. Thus creating a big circus/show for all kinds of people to laugh at their expense. The grandmaster teacher told each one to teach/save one. Hence I had to intervene. Thanks again, Sir. ![]() 2 Likes |

MayorofLagos: @bolded First of, you asked what sports is to Yorubaman and I will simply say sports means a lot to these present generation than the past generations, then Yorubas priorities education than others(military, police, sports etcetera). Although, many Yoruba parents still holds tightly unto that archaic philosophy or traditions(this one self just started 200 years ago) of 'you must go to school' but boy Don sabi say no be only book fit bring ruch or pepe come. Or do you think Yorubas don't see Obafemi, Mikel, Adebayor and Co, we no go school but dey live large? ![]() Bros, Your second question is strange to me and to those who are aware of Yoruba's exploits both in cerebral energy and physical energy sports. How soon have you forgotten that the likes of Kareem Abdul Jabber and Hakeem Olajuwon had once dominated the world in basketball, that the likes of Rasheed Yekini, Emmanuel Adebayor, Segun Odegbami, Yakubu Aiyegbeni had once dominated Africa and European football and even David Alaba is currently dominating all Africans put together in the European leagues, he was selected twice for UEFA first eleven(the regetted stone becoming the corner stone). have you forgotten so soon that Deji Ali, Deley Thompson(top 3 greatest decathlethes ever), Olusola Fasuba( the ninth fastest 100m ever), Femi Ogunode(fastest Asian 100m ever) once dominated Africa, Asia, Europe and the world at large. Time will not permit me to mention Yoruba's dominance in boxing(Areaonakakanfo and Sir Shymm3x na oga for this one) , hockey, American football, etcetera. Are all these sports not part of physical energy sports? Sir, permit me to humbly say that your submissions are not cogent enough to dismiss the facts on ground. I rest my case. Shalom 4 Likes |
