[@ebenmosiabel1233]

[@omotolanionike1419]

Comrade Dam is a repository of knowledge. I admire his wealth of knowledge. I will meet him one day. Well-done, Agba Man, and the other two baba, Sirs. Much love from the US.

[@olagunjugbengafrancis4754]

Comrade is an encyclopedia of Nigeria Political history with huge sense of humour. It's exciting listening to him. Kudos to Comrade and Agbaletu for providing the platform which makes it possible for us to continue to learn and refresh our memories.

[@Criticalthinking01]

No one remembers it all. He prepared well before the show. It's a good thing.

[@Aro_Gidigba]

Typical Ibadan man, they know history and they dish it out with grand humour.

[@TracyKnight-uq7gm]

Honestly I love this man gan ni fit saying the story we didn’t hear in our life

[@toyindipo]

When Comrade mentioned Deyemo, it reminded me of a story my mum told us in the 90's. If I remember correctly, Olubadan Asanke and Deyemo, two good friends went to Uk or so, they were presented snacks to entertain them as guests. The snacks I think was similar to puff puff, Asanke ate few from his and stopped, however Deyemo was eating profusely, non stop. Baba Asanke had to tell that "De'emo o ma ja 'ka tan, won ma n gbe eko bo" which translates to Deyemo, don't finish the bean cake, they are bringing pap. That's how Deyemo left the snacks, wating for wasn't coming. It was later that he understood Asanke was cautioning him to eat like a gentleman.

[@olawaleojikutu4890]

Comrade Dam, you genius in Nigeria political history. You need to write a book for the children not yet born. You must not go without putting all this knowledge into writing. So that coming children will continue to pray for you when you are gone.

[@oluwasanmiomoshola9719]

Every man is a library of knowledge in any community. This interview will still be available when we are no more. Good job Agbaletu and his team. God bless comrade Dam.

[@steven8384]

Agbaman, great interview. Comrade's intellectual capability enables him to grasp historical concepts and shed more light into the political trajectory.

[@worthcapital3791]

Agba Man, this man is an enigma. And please i want to make a suggestion and also i will appreciate if my suggestion is applied. I will like you to make his programme an episode such that it's easier to follow, i mean comrade Dam programme. Because this very useful at any quarter. God bless you all. Mr. Iyanda from Lagos.

[@OlawaleYusuf-v8j]

[@olusegunakeroro7340]

Haaaaaa,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. God have mercy on Comrade Dam. 😂😂😂😂

[@SholaOredola]

I so much like this and very educative also funny but one thing really upset me towards why comrade was concerned about only Ibadan not all Yoruba states to have more states so can more representatives like the northerners, I perceived this as one of our problems why Yoruba people never move forward.

[@wedonblowtv8092]

Comrade is the best ! He is a great historian, He is unique , HE DESERVES EVERYTHING GOOD

[@kbaunic5686]

Great comrade am proud of you am an Ibadan man but Bere can not be our Capital ooooo Oja oba is ideal

[@AdebayoAkintundeDada]

Oja'ba has two local governments, i.e Ibadan South East and Ibadan South West. But Bere has five, North, North West, North East, South East and South West. The highest any area can boast of throughout the world 🌎

[@ayodeleafolabi9653]

Point of correction Sir. The 12 States under Gowon were Lagos, Western State, Mid-Western State, South-Eastern State, Rivers State, South-Southern State, Kwara, North-Central, Benue/Plateau, North-Eastern, Kano and North-Western State.

[@AdebayoAkintundeDada]

Thanks brotherly.

[@tiwalasatv]

Will tackle comrade on the aspect of ilaro and erinja it's not so am an original ilaro an Olurin clan though it's true yewa settlers are from Oyo but we ilaro are not self centered though there is no unity in Yewa which is the reason yewa has never produced a governor in Ogun State but ilaro is not self centered if Ilaro is self centered they will have not supported the growth of Sango Ota which is under them

[@shiyanbolaabiodun2354]

Kudos to comrade, I heard directly from the Ataoja Matammi before his demise that M.K.O Abiola was the one who fought for Osogbo to get the capital. That was why Osogbo ring road was named after MKO Abiola

[@OlabisiObafemi]

I think creation of Ekiti State was made possible through the efforts several prominent Ekiti people, with contributions in their diverse capacities. Prof. Sam Aluko may have contributed greatly towards it but we can not also discountenance the critical contributions of Aare Afe Babalola, Chief Deji Fasuan, the traditional rulers, especially the current Ewi of Ado Ekiti....etc. Moreover, the states created in 1996 were not created by fiat as being insinuated by the guest. There was a committee chaired by Chief Arthur Mbanefo, where memoranda were submitted and presentations were made by promoters of the proposed states.

[@dynamicprintslimited1906]

[@AlbarkaTech-d2p]

Comrade is right Alaafin Bow and Ooni Ojaja too bow

[@AlbarkaTech-d2p]

I have the picture

[@bolasalak7360]

The submission of comrade Dan on the possibility of Ibo presidency to apologize for January 15 1966 though seems tough and very difficult to assimilate by the Ibos but it is the bitter truth the Igbo nation must swallow to be fully integrated into leadership position of Nigeria. Continue denial that January 15 1966 coup was not Igbo coup will never solve the problem. Afterwards the whole Nigerians can then apologize to Ibos for unnecessary destructive civil war of 1967-1970. With this we can move forward as nation.

[@penarahim8285]

You ethnic and religious jingoists will just be punching keyboard as if are mandated to speak for anyone. You represent neither Igbo nor Yoruba. You have just 1 voting rights and nothing more.

Oba Asanike's origin was traceable to Oyo town. Research into it. More than 2 Olubadans came from Oyo town

[@OlusholaAjayi-et1qh]

It was Ooni who requested for Osun State and he does not ask for capital to be sited at Ife.

[@ceeclue7038]

Indeed, because we are no longer Nigerian!

Creation of Ekiti state was a collective efforts of our great leaders

[@exponetial1641]

Asodun comrade yii noni

[@biolaadebayo3946]

Comrade also goofed: Beere is in Ibadan Northwest local government. Beere is not part of Ibadan South West.

[@AdebayoAkintundeDada]

Bere round about is a square, where all the five Ibadan main city local governments reside. Our house at the back of defunct national Petro station is Ibadan North West, the old Mobil petrol station now Mutlad petrol station is Ibadan North, the old Total filling station towards Aboke compound is Ibadan North East, ile Laamo Bere is Ibadan South East, while the popular Holy bookshop and other bookshop around it are in Ibadan South West. You can recheck.

[@Fido1010]

Creating states is not the problem. But can they generate to maintain the state. That's the question you should be asking...

[@isolaolajide8350]

Alafin bowed for Ooni

[@warithadekunlebello819]

Comrade Dam you too much

[@biolaadebayo3946]

Osun state has 3 principal blocks: ife, Ijesha and Osun or Oyos. Oshogbo, ede, ikire, Gbogan, ikirun, Modakeke etc are the real Oyos or Osun. Ife is a minority block . There is a lot of politicking which favoured the Osun(Oyos) with their headquarters in Oshogbo

[@niphemyalagbethompson3671]

Actually Oyo can not be the capital of the new oyo state, it borders with Ibadan already and it is not central. Ogbomoso is more central, more densely popoulated with more facilities.

[@alfalfred8722]

Anytime a particular region or tribe becomes better off than others on account of producing the president of Nigeria, Igbo man will become the president. For now, it’s not attractive because the position seems to be cursed, those who are not in power benefit more.

[@FABULUJEOLAKUNLE]

[@muyiwailegbusi2448]

Some of his accounts are historically and factually incorrect

[@OLOYINJO]

This man is knowledgeable but got some things wrong about Yoruba history. Although, Oyo became an empire, there was no time Ìfẹ was under Oyo. Oranmiyan the founder was once an Oni of Ife. Òyó became warlike and betrayed the covenant of brotherhood among brothers before they set out of Ife. The attempt for dominance caused the kiriji war as Ekiti resisted the plot and ended it permanently. So, Ibadan does not deserve any state status, she had enjoyed that in the betrayal of brothers. That any Alaafin would drag leadership with Oòni is absurd and unacceptable to the rest of children of oduduwa.

[@olayinkaFakeye]

Kwara State was created along with the first 12 states

[@JamalJames-x7w]

So it's yorubas and northerners that should be president,igbos should just be looking,we are not better than igbos

There wasn't Oyo, Ondo and Ogun states during Gowon era. We had only western state. It was during Murtala Mohammed in February, 1976 when Oyo, Ondo and Ogun states were created. Gowon had 12 states while Murtala Mohammed had 19 states. Let this guest reverse and review himself

[@akinolagbenga3503]

[@7adigun]

See the way you comfortably misinformed people with tribal sentiments. God help this country. Olo te le yin Yoruba. That Azikwe divided the West to create Mid West. The Mid West agitated for their region because of the Yoruba dominance and sentiment in the Old Western Region.They killed everyone and didn't kill their people as if you were part of their plans. Did you read the book by one of the major plotters Adewale Ademoyegun, Why we Stroke, Fola Oyewo, Reluctant Rebel. Poor and lack of proper education is a real dynasor.

[@otunbabankole50]

Who cares about an unnecessary book? The outcome of the coup is telling.The Igbo will never be trusted again.
