“She’s tribalistic” because I defended Yoruba women I will do it over and over again 😂I’m a proper Yoruba babe.

The 1999 Alliance for Democracy primary at the D’Rovans Hotel in Ibadan was supposed to be the coronation of Bola Ige. As the Cicero of Agodi, the AD ticket was his by right and by merit, yet in a move that defied political logic, the party elders handed it to Olu Falae. It wasn’t a consensus; it was a masterstroke of sabotage. Obasanjo’s moles had already burrowed deep into the heart of Afenifere, knowing Ige was a titan they couldn’t topple in a fair fight. By sidelining him for the more manageable Falae, they cleared a path for the PDP's long-term dominance. When the dust settled, Ige was offered a ministerial consolation prize. He was deeply skeptical, but one man eventually persuaded him to take the leap: Bola Tinubu. According to Ige’s PA, Olu Agunloye, Tinubu didn’t just talk him into the cabinet; he influenced his specific role, pivoting Ige from Communications to the high-stakes world of Power and Steel. It was a gambit to prove the progressive cause, even as the personal chemistry between Ige and Obasanjo remained cold. The bitter fruit of that internal betrayal ripened four years later. In 2003, those same pro-OBJ operatives within Afenifere threw the gates open, allowing a PDP tsunami to level the Southwest. The political landscape was razed, and the old guard was swept away. Only one man remained defiant amidst the ruins: Bola Tinubu. The strategist who had refused to flinch, he stood as the last man standing; the same man who had stayed loyal to Ige when the rest of the circle had already moved on.

What political story sounds too shocking to be true? Me: Osibajo going against Asiwaju and refusing to support his campaign. You: ???

She is Yoruba, but the first person to gift her (N1 million), after her video went viral, is Igbo. In William Uchemba’s comment section, many are donating things for her, including money and materials. None asked, “What’s her tribe?” Can we see how human and gracious we are without tribalism? Can we feel the touch of humanity when we care less about tribe? Can we focus on the things that unite us rather than the things that divide us? Can we apply this in choosing our leaders?✍️

Abia Labour Party House of Reps Member empowers Abia women with buckets? What are they suppose to do with the bucket?

Easter Sunday, April 2009 We were in my Grandpa’s family house a big, old building with about 9 rooms and a parlour, built in a “face me I face you” style, with a large decking area. It was a polygamous family compound, so it was always full. Around 8 PM that evening, I had just

After Tinubu, people will no longer trust the Yoruba.
