You see the reason why Igbo and Yoruba marriage should be abolished by all means. They rejected Gbadebo Vivour because his mother is Igbo. What's the essence of of marrying an Igbo woman and later see her children as Outcasts or intruders. This is an act of wickedness

Just the way Betty Anyanwu was rejected in Anambra because he got married to Yoruba man. Igbos are more of a tribalist than they point at others.

The military gave us the constitution that we are killing to defend today, so why demonizing the military?

The military handed over to politicians who asked for democracy. Yet these 'quasi-democrats' cannot manage a simple election that other democratic countries organise without rancour and rigging. They claim to be democrats but threaten other Nigerians from freely voting their choice. They kill, they maim, they mutilate results and steal people's votes.

Nigeria's election swallows 300 billion Naira every four years, voting is done on a flimsy paper and fake results are manually mutilated and written in the bedroom of politicians after collation at the polling stations. Are the voters who stand in the rain and sunshine that worthless?

Political thugs are everywhere threatening and killing people who want to vote their choice. How is that different from the Liberian war where people's hands were cut off to prevent them from voting?

The Solution
In the event that judiciary becomes too cowardly to call a spade a spade and end rubber-stampping this open electoral heist that has negated every norms of democratic process, the military must must not hesitate to save the country from being thrown into anarchy by politicians who do not believe in the rights of others in a free democracy.

How will they do this? An interim government should take charge and fix the electoral system to ensure that minimal or zero human interference is allowed in our electoral system.

A 100% electronic voting system is what is needed now. Voters get accredited with their voter's card ONLY ONCE, and then vote in a paperless electronic manner, the votes are recorded and sent directly to the server and seen on the INEC IREV in REAL-TIME.
It has to be transparent, so that losers and winners will agree with the results.

Rigging of elections usually happens between when ballots are counted and when the votes are collated by INEC. That is usually when the results are mutilated or destroyed and the fake ones recorded..That should be stemmed in the tide by e-polling and e-collation and e-transmission of votes. A lot of money will be saved from printing worthless ballot papers that can be snatched anytime by political thugs trying to subvert the process.

Politicians who have vested interests cannot give us a perfect electoral system. When the debate for BVAS and IreV was brought up on the floor of the Senate last year, many sitting politicians afraid of loss of popularity back home, opposed the inclusion of clause 'INEC shall transmit electronically', this has given INEC and politicians the wherewithal to claim 'there is no network, we will transmit the votes when we get to the office', allowing the sustenance of an electoral system that is fraught with heavy irregularities.

Videos abound of INEC presiding officials who have been bribed by politicians telling the voters 'we will not upload until we get to the office', of course we know that once they get to their office (or the sitting rooms of politicians), the results are mutilated or changed outrightly. That's an insult to the Nigerian voters.

No politician will allow such reform to happen, not even Tinubu will let that happen. Only a dispassionate interim military government can institute an electoral reform that will be fair to all and hand it over to Nigerians.
We need to consider this a surgical procedure that will strengthen true democracy in the aftermath.

Too bad, a first class traditional ruler shouldn't be making such comments

Oba of Lagos should be father to all lagosians and be neutral

akinade28:

I'm still in shock since the presidential election. I thought we are sophisticated, I never knew we are this tribalistic. We are known to be nice and accommodating, although i must acknowledge that some Igbos really overstepped their boundaries. I just hope this doesn't escalate into a tribal war for us and our unborn children.

I blame that selfish currupt Awolowo who walked through prison after he was found guity of using Government money, six million pounds to sponsor a political party and i certainly blame him, Awolowo for introducing Tribalism into Nigerian politics.

#Bittersourtruth

See your life? Now id!ots will quote me & type rubbish from the comfort of their momma's single room.

0monnak0da:

Did Yoruba Obas support Tinubu?

Okorietitus:


Adeleke's mother is Igbo
Adeleke's wife is Igbo
PDP cleared Osun yesterday

Aketi's wife is Igbo. She was not allowed to contest in Imo.

Once in Yoruba land, stand with Yorubas, you are safe. Stand against Yorubas, you will be taught bitter lessons your generations will never forget.

Iamgrey5:
FIFA is umpire for the award, Oba is not inec.

chiefoga:


Free speech, but don’t cry when you face the ramifications of your utterances. A word is enough for the wise.

Voiceofthestree:

The statement does have to come out from a whole Oba. If sanwo come he should give his bless and When GRV come he should give his blessing.... Oba do not play open politics they are suppose to be neutral ok get that right bro. And plz don’t quote me again I use God beg you

Roboto11:


GRV, Chinedu or whatever appellation ascribed to him has shown disdain for the Yoruba people and even romanced IPOB.

The Oba must show allegiance to his people and not outsiders who denigrate them.

Ohaneze Ndigbo publishes all manner of nonsense by the way.

Oba is the royal father of both! He should have been dipolamatic in his speech. Stop supporting him, he made a mistake, even if he is supporting Sanwolu he shouldn't have said that.

Asour:



That's exactly what I'm saying.
I'm not talking about Yoruba obas.

I'm talking about THIS specific one.

Bluntemperor:


Nonsense!
When they vote Peter Obi in the Presidential elections,they are not tribalistic but when the Governorship election came,they know Sanwo-Olu should be given a 2nd-Chance,you now called them a tribalism ethnic,so who is fooling who?
You should learn to read the signs of time but if you don't know the difference, Governorship election is LOCAL,unlike the Presidential.
Know this know peace!

Asour:


You don't have an argument.

GrV isn't the only contestant in the elections.

Ohaneze Ndi Igbo is NOT a traditional ruler.

I'm referring to a traditional ruler. A Nigerian stool.

It's shameful for them to pick favourites publicly.

Publicly is the key here. You know in your heart that this is wrong & I don't care about GRV or anyone who becomes the Governor.

Did Oba stop GRV from contesting?

Isn't oba entitled to his opinion like everyone else under the Nigerian constitution?

The king said Sanwo will win because his people are with Sanwo.

Just like everyone, OBA is entitled to his opinion under the Nigerian constitution.

When certain Igbos claim Lagos is no man's land, you don't necessarily need a dictionary to interpret that.

When GRV says he doesn't think in Yoruba, you didn't press him to explain further!


When Namdi Kanu's boys said a Yoruba pastor should not hold a crusade In Aba, you didn't ask to know where such exist in the Nigerian constitution.

But when Oba gives his opinion, you start looking for constitution.

Bunch of hypocrites..

Ashley86400:


So because of the crimes of a few people from a tribe, you’re hating on a whole tribe.
I’m Yoruba and even I can see future problems in this mentality.

Stop hating on your fellow man.
Even if a few offended you, confront the issue, forgive and move on.
Don’t assist to start a problem you will not be able to finish.

Roboto11:


It is OK for all your pastors and elder statesmen to support one candidate but woe betide an Oba who supports his.

Asour:


My point is that No traditional ruler of repute comes out publicly to pick a favourite in an election.

It's disgraceful to the stool they represent.

That's why you don't find Other reputable Obas doing it.
