Nigerians.
This isn't funny at all.
Wishing someone dead on his birthday.
I agree the country's situation isn't a good one right now, but let's be fair to each other.

What did he wish Nigerians and their families?.

Thank you

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think what he meant to say is that the woman was looking for a fruit of the womb prior to the incident, then the woman went home after the event to have sex with her husband and got pregnant...

Explainer of the brethren. Na the heads of people like you these scammers dey use.

Oga provide back up to your claims. I just did mine.

Trump is saving Russia's face right? Well provide proof, we're waiting...

Keep living in a fool's paradise.

Na dude, I ain't jobless like you. I'm busy and I have a life outside Nairaland. Try some of that.

WritterNg:
I just backed up my claims with hard facts written and printed on western media platforms.

Waiting for you to do yours.

Go find something meaningful to engage your life with. This path of delusion will only leave you desolate and broken.

Don't say I did not warn you

IQ, you said?. You're a fool, and a very retarded one at that. Go back and read the gibberish you're vomiting on this thread.

The least you're expected to do is either back your false and unsubstantiated claims with facts, not fabrications pulled out of your rotten nostrils, or repudiate opposing information with same.

Dude, your IQ is that of a 7 years old. If you have any modicum of shame left, you ought to simply shut the Bleep up.

If Ukraine had been hitting Russian cities, there would be a big hole filled with radioactive ash right in the place Ukraine used to be, by now. Ukraine would be silent as a graveyard by now.

You think Russia would fold hands and watch Ukraine hit its cities? That's a full declaration of war on Russia. And in a full war, the Nuclear option is on the table.

Let me clarify this for you, the day Russia detonates a nuclear device, even if a strategically, that will be the day Russia ends as a country. It will be mutual destruction. Should I repeat that for you?.

The Europeans who clearly understands that they will be next in line to Russia's madness will see to it, and they thankfully possess the capacity to bring that message home, regardless of what Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk, thinks.

WritterNg:
Sure genius.

Now tell us how Donald Trump is going to save Russia? What exactly can Trump give Russia that Russia isn't already taking?

Even as Russia continues to take up more lands.

As I said, you need to stop the stupid lies. Russia is a spent force, period. Any country whose only claim to fame is nuclear bomb should hide its face in shame. That is Russia.

I'm sure you're not privy to all the back channel discussions to save Russia's face in the world. This is where Donald Trump is currently engaged. But he will fail. Let me be the first to inform you of this outcome.

Germany is retooling as we speak. France and other Europeans are in the same process. Let's not even talk about the Poles, who understand that you don't let a bunch of wolves around your sheepfold.

Again, Russia had invaded Ukraine with the understanding that it will occupy a territory that it believes has no right to exist as a sovereign entity. The result is before us.

Vladimir Putin has disgraced himself and left what was left of Russia's reputation in shambles. Russia's assets have been confiscated everywhere. The country is reeling under the strangely heavy sanctions imposed on it by, yes, NATO allies.

They are literally drinking their oil and gas. Today, Russia is begging to be allowed back into the SWIFT system from which Europe kicked it out. Billions of Euros of assets and cash are currently locked away from mother Russia, lol.

These funds will be deployed in reconstructing the infrastructures Russia criminally destroyed in Ukraine when the time comes, or to defeat Russia on the battle field as the case my be.

So you ask, what does Putin need Trump to save him from? Do you still need answers? And he is not winning the shooting war either, regardless of the current small territorial gains in the Kursk region.

By the way, Russia was also in Afghanistan. You cleverly forgot to mention to your audience that they also lost miserably to the same bunch of goat herders.

[quote author=WriterNig post=134760764][/quote]You need to stop posting lies. If Russia's casualties were at the imaginary ratios you claim, the war would be over before it began.

Russia is losing soldiers daily in the war against Ukraine, especially its poorly trained conscripts. Why did Putin have to hire North Korean mercenaries?.

Even they have been greatly decimated in numbers. For being the aggressor, Vladimir Putin's Russia has been unmasked as a Lilliputian force by a much smaller and under-funded Ukrainian military.

Whatever the outcome of this war, Ukraine must walk away with its shoulders held high, having openly humiliated a wannabe superpower that thought it could waltz in and out of Ukraine.

Russia has since lost the war and now needs Donald Trump to save it.

Everybody should join APC, under Tinubu of course. All other parties should collapse into APC.

You see why we always say that you people are the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria since independence. A bunch of unrepentant, irresponsible thieves whose moral compass has since been broken and remains unserviceable.

Shey fear dey catch una?. We still dey inside kitchen and food will be served at the right time.

JASONjnr:
Lol....

Mr. Political expert....

Tinubu isn't campaigning yet and you're already giving statistics on election....☺️☺️☺️


Una too funny.....

Lienus!

Tinubu has been campaigning since he was sworn in. What exactly is your briefin Nairaland?.

What do thousands of you miscreants including Bayo Onanuga, or Nairaland dullards like Helinues, Yarimo, etc. do?.

Tell Seyi Tinubu to go home and rest, since Tinubu is not campaigning.

My friend, go and take several seats.

NetbizBoss:
If Igbos do not trust labour party in Anambra State then how do they expect other tribes to trust and vote for them at the national level.

I am not an Igbo man but I don't like to align with person who do not trust himself. If Igbos want us to vote for obi they must first of all trust labour party to govern Anambra State.

If you don't trust the party to govern Anambra State how do you want us to trust the party at the national level? . Let's see how labour party will perform in Anambra State then we will trust them at the national level.

Wow!. Small minded people everywhere.

JASONjnr:
Lol...

I want you to know that, Tinubu will win the 2027 election hands down.

Mark my words!

So let me burst your big bubble, Mr. Big Mouth. You're obviously a political neophyte.

As it stands at the moment, it appears that the northern interests that garnered over 5 million votes in the north in the last election is currently very sick and on a sickbed.

If this situation does not resolve quickly, and it does not look to be the case, so if a coalition of the various interest groups comes together and Mr. Peter Obi is elected to lead them into the 2027 election and deputized by a heavyweight northern vice presidential candidate, you will look to welcome Ahmed Tinubu back to Bourdillon street before 12 pm on election day.

Pay attention to this, you will be very mistaken if you think Yakubu can manipulate him back in. Yakubu only acted the first time because he had the buy-in of the northern establishment, essentially the same people on whose toes Tinubu is said to have stepped.

kingbee90:

I have said it before that by the 1st quarter of 2027, only Remi, Seyi, Bulaba and Agbadorians will remain in APC.

I don't want to hear "Southern unity" from the mouth of any Agbadorian on this thread.

Just say you don't want to hear "southern unity" from the mouths of agbado evil hypocrites

yarimo:
Busy body how is that your business na

Anything Tinubu na our business. You get?.

panpan:
Extra state creation, in any part of the country, may not be a good idea for now.

Right. So, let's reduce the states count to five across board. That's equitable.

If Nigerians do not hunker down to change this evil government in 2027, say goodbye to Nigeria as a serious economic power in Africa.

Foolish souls like you never seem to amuse me. Was the election for the president of southern Nigeria or Nigeria ?

Quit displaying your abysmal parental upbringing in the public space. No be by force to become a nuisance.

helinues:




Telling a blind man that it's raining is actually a pure waste of time

The same structure won Lagos and South until Yakubu happened at 4 am.

A president who won only 4 out of six states in his region and only managed to win 5 states of all the 17 states of the South where he is indigenous should be ashamed to speak.

We know Rivers was a hack, so that makes it only 4 states that could be called for Ahmed Tinubu in the entire southern Nigeria.

Peter Obi won 9 states according to Yakubu, and 10 states if we add Rivers which Wike stole.

You think we don know why your your group constantly attack Peter Obi as if your lives depends on him losing relevance?.

sultaan:
Hello everyone, I have been out of the country for a very long time so my passport is expired.

Last couple of times I have been in Nigeria, I have used the services of middle men in the 8050 building beside the Atlanta consulate building(paid $400 for Visa).
I do not want to use their service anymore due to the fact I gave out my bank account info and a lot of personal info to an entity that is not government agency..

I was able to get into the consulate since Joe Leshi was in charge and the had the Pakistani lady up front.

The current receptionist tries in her own way but they said the consulate does not do NIN, Passport nor Visas, all can be done in the 8050 building that is now charging $20 parking

My sister said Consulate in DC has changed like a miracle, but Atlanta Consulate is an agency of the 8050 building

My last encounter at the OIS building in Holcomb bridge road, the lady said I should go book appointment online for 90 days wait period with no other person in the building being attended to, and there was nothing she can do to expedite my visa application.


My question is can I just buy ticket to Nigeria and go do my NIN and passport in Nigeria with dignity?

This insult we have been experiencing from the Nigerian consulate in Atlanta is too much there is a tent outside full of people/families, and it all looks like refugees trying to get passport or Visa walking between consulate and 8050 building and they still want money orders in this day and age.

Atlanta Consulate needs a renewal operational failure is a culture over there.

This omonile and roadblock toll collector mentality should not persist in our society, the more we find it the harder to get rid of.

You may enter Nigeria with your expired Nigeria passport, but make sure to depart the US with your US passport if you are a dual citizen.

May I also suggest that you already apply for a replacement passport at the Nigeria immigration portal, and also book a bio-data capture date.

In the likely event that you are not currently equipped with all the paperwork required in the process, it will be advisable to start that process as soon as you arrive in the country depending on how long your intended stay may be.

I did as suggested above, and walked away with a new passport in less than an hour of my arrival at the Nigeria immigration office in Nigeria.

Good luck.

UltraSolid:
Bro, are you kidding me? Buhari never won a single South West State in three attempts to be President. When Tinubu and virtually all influential Yoruba leaders swung behind him, under the APC banner in 2015, Buhari won five out of SW State with only Ekiti going the way of PDP because of the 'robustness' of Ayo Fayose who was governor of the State at the time.

This is why a lot of Yoruba intellectuals want out of 'one Nigeria' today. Too many do not appreciate what Yorubas are and what they graciously do/sacrifice for Nigeria and others while the likes of Igbos and Fulanis continue to act up carelessly, without restraint, to move us close to Rwanda ethnic cleaning madness.

You prefer lies and wild fabrications against the Yoruba ethnic group because of nothing other than envy of them and their pacesetting success.

Otherwise, how can a sane person say the bolded in your post? What did El Rufai do for Tinubu that Yorubas, on the world stage, did not do ten time more to make Buhari, viewed an extremist, appealing to global forces like Tony Blair, Obama etal at the time?

Stop talking intellectually pedestrian and discredited rubbish abeg. Were you on Mars when Yorubas like Tinubu, Amosun and Fashola etal (because they are viewed universally as hailing from the most moderate, reasonable and tolerant of the major ethnic groups of Nigeria) were working hard to reverse Buhari's image as a hardliner that saw him lose three previous Presidential elections?

What did El Rufai do even remotely close to what Yorubas, the most credible and best-acclaimed Nigerians, do for Buhari? Why was El Rufai and others Northerners of questionable fundamentalist character never in the company of Buhari when he was running to be President in 2015 and visiting Western nations on charm offensive to reverse his battered image that made many world authority wary of his capacity to be a good President of Nigeria?

Why was it only Yorubas, that we all know the world view the most progressive, tolerant and religiously secular of the major ethnic groups of Nigeria, always frontlining the PR outing of Buhari globally then? Why not his fellow Fulanis?

Nothing El Rufai did for Tinubu, a doyen of the West and the universe at large, even 2% close to what Yorubas alone did to turn around Buhari's sordid image to the extent David Cameron and Obama etal were urging GEJ to hand over to Buhari rather than contest the outcome of the 2025 election while Orubebe and co were shouting.

Why was the picture below not of Buhari accompanied by Shetimma, Ganduje, El Rufai, Ndume etal? Keep deceiving yourself about the exaggerated worth of El Rufai while disregarding the pivotal importance of Yorubas to the peace and unity of Nigeria with how, always, they have graciously and sacrificially played their part to ensure Nigeria never experience what Rwanda did while the North, with the Born-to-rule arrogance of El Rufai, Atiku and other hawkish Northern proponents, continue displaying ungentlemanly disdain and disregard for what Yorubas have done for them.

Monsters in histories who did not want to compromise, like Hitler etal, cost humanity a lot because they would not respect those who supported what is good for the majority and society at large as Yorubas have always done.

Dude, you urgently need to shut the fvck up. Nyi nyi nyi, Yoruba this and that. Seriously?.

Listen, Nasiru El-Rufai was all the evil you proclaimed in your obvious attempt to demarket him when Ahmed Tinubu publicly begged him to join his campaign and government at the Arewa House in Kaduna.

Nasiru is an ethnic jingoist, we all know that much. We are all witnesses to the infamous role he played in cahoots with Yoruba politicians to decapitate Goodluck Jonathan's administration, and he was gleefully acceptable to Yorubas then. A good man.

All was well when, Muhammadu Buhari, whom Tinubu and all the Yorubas you reeled out in your diatribe supported in betrayal of a south anchored government, threatened that monkeys and baboons would be drenched in blood if he was not announced president.

Nasiru El-Rufai was a point man in that campaign of calumny which Yoruba called, playing "sophisticated politics".

But as you rightly said, "24 hours is a long time in politics". And it has been a handful of 24 hours since Tinubu, in an about-face that only people of Yoruba descent are masters in, threw a man he openly "toasted" under the proverbial bus, and you expect him to quietly go home and sob at his wife's bossom.

Since when has politics siezed to be a game of interests and numbers?. Since they all conspired to rig Ahmed Tinubu into the presidential villa, abi, Yoruba hegemonist?.

Being obviously a Yoruba as you are, I don't begrudge you all the fancy colors you have chosen to decorate your ethnicity with, but that is not who you are in reality, and that is not how the rest of us know you.

Ahmed Tinubu has played the long game, yes, he has also played and betrayed his associates and even friends, and they deserve the right of rebuttal.

Your bitch cry here is clearly what we knew back in the days when Yorubas controlled the media space in what was infamously known as the "Lagos-Ibadan expressway press". That era is thankfully over.

As for Ndigbo, who in Ahmed Tinubu's mind and definitely yours, are the butt of your new found mojo, I believe they will speak as they always do, that is, with one united voice at the polls, at the appropriate time and moment. I suspect in 2027.

In Odin13 's voice, power to the people.

Some of the comments here clearly confirm what some of us have always known.

It is pretty obvious that Nigerians hate themselves, and the only reason this pretense of a country still exists is the oil and gas in someone else's backyard.

The Yoruba have clearly shown their true colours as predicted, and I hope they will be as grateful to receive as they are to shove it at Ndịgbo.

Nuff said!

aswani:
Sadly, we live in an imbalanced country so we do need to try and adjust the balance somewhat. Unitary schools should have as much spread as possible, it's only fair.

Per the merit thing, Nigerians are not serious. Look at president Tinubu's appointments that lack federal character as they are seemingly based on competence and see how Obidients are railing against it.

At this stage, I don't mind how incompetent the Ndigbo person is, let them be President so we can rest bikonu. They can't be as bad or as ineffectual as Bubu or Goodluck.

Per your exam thing, good shout but let's continue this democracy thing for now as practised in other countries.

Have a blessed day ahead yourself.

And Tinubu.

You guys should stop the lies.

The SE is the least productive part of the south when it comes to oil.

First, the people of the Southeast, yes, including the Annang, Erik, Ogoja, etc., are some of the most industrious Nigerians.

The work they do is the result you see in the region, the same industrial spirit they take with them wherever they go.

That said, Nigeria's largest proven gas deposit is in the southeast, and if you know anything about the nature of hydrocarbon occurrence, I would not need to educate you about oil, then coal, etc.

Your fathers fed you lies about the Southeast. This obvious afront to your basic education is the reason why some of you have become a disgrace to yourselves in public.
