GodsOwnMan: You spent the last 8 or even 16 years calling Northerners unprintable names and now they want us to vote for them? He go shock their papa. Danboroba shege!
DeepThroater: The north does not hide the fact that they are benefiting from the current centrist federal govt arrangement.
The Yoruba has expressed how they will prefer we return to the pre Igbo Marxist coup era of regional governance citing how the current setup is claustrophobic and crushing their ambitions and goals.
The Niger Delta has made their reservations clear and that is we should return to the status quo prior to the Igbo Marxist intervention of 1966. And to this aim they have been exploring all loopholes in the constitution to exert and take back much of the rights guaranteed to states. Governor Wike of Rivers has done tremendous judicious work in keeping the federal govt off from his state whenever the legal backing is sought. One instance is the successful VAT ruling that saw to a federal high court granting reprieve to states to collect and keep in whole value added tax. This victory was widely celebrated in the sane parts of the south and greeted with pleas from the north . But in Alaigbo republic, not one single comment was heard from that corner.
The VAT ruling and the dead silence from the yeast was a dead giveaway on what I have always stated here that : Igbos are not interested in a return to true federalism. Naturally, if one considers that igbos were the ones who truncated our republic for a Marxist centrist Igbocentric dictatorship , one ought not to expect them to be at the forefront of clamouring for a return of regional governance.
It is for this reason we should see the Igbo as one of the harlots in the legends of King Solomon who demanded the baby be cut in half. It is either Biafra complete with an annexed Niger Delta or we continue the parasitic arrangement preferably with an Igbo president. Where these people get the effrontery to make demands and ultimatums where they have no chips on the table beats my imagination. The Igbo has succeeded in making a frivolous unwarranted demand a matter of public debate claiming Igbo marginalization. I don't subscribe to the notion of Igbo marginalization. I believe they are duly serving a generational sentence of being relegated from any form of public trust based on their grievous sin of both destroying our republic and truncating our democracy. Even still being part of Nigeria appears too lenient for my liking talk more of demanding for a presidency while making empty threats to annex the Niger Delta and seccede from Nigeria.
It is for this very reason that a Peter Obi presidential bid now turned Igbo project is DOA in my books. Obi is yet to speak on restructuring which I know he doesn't see as necessary being an Igbo that he is.
So, can any of you Obidient fellows tell me why Obi has refused to speak up on the much demanded restructuring back to regional assembly?
The last time I checked, hatred also kills. It appears your problem is Igbo, then come out frontal, so we can give you the rejoinder you deserve. However, I will pass because I concluded that a man who wasted so many paragraphs to vituperate on a people he illegitimately considers threatening to whatever interest he represents is none but a rabid hatemonger.
As a Nigerian citizen, you will be within your rights to advocate or even agitate for a revert to the pre-civil war regional arrangement, but you obviously too cowardly and docile to do what fellow men have, and are currently doing pursuant to their inner convictions.
I invite you to interrogate your knowledge and the query is, whatever your ethnicity is, can you measure up to or surpass the Igbo?. If your answer is no, as I know it is, then keep quiet.
laiperi: This is why people say you should not confuse tolerance and generosity with stupidity.
Who are you all that are wise now? Look Tinubu has his use. You send fire to quench fire. He remains our son but we have sons and daughters for different tasks. Yoruba are not short of people of integrity and character. We also have thugs we send after thugs.
I do not know what your problems are with Tinubu. People like you cultivate supporters for him. What has he done to you apart from welcoming you into Yorubaland?
We are now wise, what an insult! When did you become wise since Azikiwe gave away Executive PM for figure head President?
All your problems with or about Yoruba is on Yoruba land.
Haba, kilode!
Not sure what you're on about oga. But to answer your concern, while Tinubu is your son, and you are entitled to him as such, we reserve the right to reject a man who aspire to the highest office in the land with lots of baggage as it is.
Yoruba has other eminently qualified sons and daughters for whom some of us were rooting. It is a shame they caved in to Tinubu's intimidation.
I am glad you now see through Tinubu. I have always wondered why you defended him.
Tinubu, Obi and of course Atiku would never do anything to disturb the status quo of Fulani reign. The same way Azikiwe, Danjuma, OBJ and Jonathan did not realizing they were being used.
Actually, I think the revolt for Yoruba Nation is more probable under Atiku because we already know Buhari would move the earth to make sure Fulani rule.
Enough is enough. Yoruba Nation lokan!
Since you all are wise now. why is Nnamdi kanu still a prisoner of conscience, and why is Sunday Adeyemo a refugee away from his home?.
DCatt: Ibi ti a ro pe a ti ba ogbon, ti a ba ego nbe, o ma ndun yan.
You are in the top two people I respected here in nairaland until 5 mins ago.
You are Obedient but a nerve short of saying it publicly now, I'm sure you vwill soon get there.
What could Tinubu have done about Endsars other than what Sanwo-Olu told the so called protesters to go home and that he will convey their message to the president? What about MC Oluomo that sent truck of water to them and regretted it when the so called protesters almost killed his boys? They tried to jump Pasuma too because he was close to Tinubu through K1.The Endsars protest wasn't a protest but an attempt to wipe out Apc in Lagos by killing Tinubu. Sane people know the Endsars protest has nothing to do with Endsars but everything to do with Tinubu, Lagos and 2023.
The Oyo and fulani affair is pure politics. Pdp was using fulani to cover up the assassination of Dr Aborode because of the ticket they promised him. If governor Makinde lied that Pdp killed Dr Aborode, was his father lying too?
The Yoruba nation activities have political undertones and will end as soon as you see Tinubu out. Even if out of shame you continue we Tinubu supporters will sit on the fence and wish you luck too just as you wish us now.
If Tinubu does not win, I know it's the end of Yoruba. I will give up on Yoruba and join the chorus of Yoruba are not worth fighting for. The kind of price Yoruba will pay for this will be earth shattering.
How are you going to get this your Yoruba nation and under which president do you think you are likely to get it?
So, Tinubu's candidacy, or mandate as he would want to call it, is all about Yoruba pecuniary interest. Nothing to do with Nigeria.
Peter Obi does not invite foreign state commissioners. He has no need for photo ops with low-level paper pushers. He gets invited by foreign governments, the Vatican, and ivy league institutions to speak.
Now, that is respect and recognition where it really matters, if you ask me.
IbadeHQ: See why Peter Obi-tuary does qualify to be Nigeria's president. No amount of defamation will stop Tinubu from winning. This is said by an Igbo man.
OLAADEX: APC Presidential Bola Ahmed Tinubu with the Secretary of State of Ohio, United States of America, and Leader of Delegation, Mr. Frank LaRose, when members of the IRI/NDI Observation Mission to Nigeria visited him on Today in Abuja.
Ohio State Secretary of State?. Same position as a secretary to a state government in Nigeria. A governor's nwa boi. Make small shame dey still catch una.
Tinubu will not exchange banter with this man's opposite number in Nigeria. His arrogance will forbid him from doing so, but he will pull all strings to be photographed with his slave master. What a low IQ demeanor.
Peter Obi gets invited to 10 Downing Street, Whitehall, the democratic party convention, etc. These are high-powered places. Let's face it, no high-ranking government official outside the cesspit called Nigeria wants to be seen miles near Tinubu. The man has irreverence written all over him.
Sum 1+2+3 (PDP + APC) = 63 months Approximately 15 semesters Approximately 7 years were lost.
Dear parents and students, don't be fooled again. We know that each time election time approaches, our predators pretend to be our friends. This is the time to end their chokehold on our lives.
The Israeli foreign minister Naftali Ofrazel in a press statement in Tel Aviv announced that all people of Biafran descent are to be recognized as Israeli citizens. This is with immediate effect.
Oloshi, shebi Tunde and Ibrahim go turn Ipob dey face dat side
On the occasion of the unveiling of his running mate, Alhaji Ahmed Tinubu elected to import fake and un-ordained Christian clergymen in an attempt to ridicule our Christ, the king, Jesus. All Christian clergy are ordained and serve at his mercy.
This unwarranted impersonation, therefore a willful desecration of our priesthood, and in the rank of Bishops must be called out and walked back by all Christian faithful.
This is a frontal attack on our liberty and right to self-determination, but only the beginning of a grand scheme to relegate the opposite faith to the dustbin by Tinubu and his co-conspirators.
Christians must now stand up with one thunderous voice and say to Alhaji Ahmed Tinubu that enough, is enough.
Olaoluwa122: I think I will consider this candidate,from the three main candidate.
May I warmly recommend Mr. Peter Obi to you?. He brings unparalleled integrity and a clear-cut plan to restore Nigeria and its people back to a winning path.
We know his name, his parentage, his age, his education career, his source of wealth, etc. We also know his stewardship as a public servant and his successes in the private sector. Peter Obi is what Nigeria needs now.
igbotormentor: You can help me with a scripture in which Jesus Christ antagonise anyone or speak against any political candidate if you aren't demented and deluded as you claim.
You need to respect others and their faith. I'm not sure what our lord and savior, Jesus Christ, has to do with your useless politics. What you're doing amounts to the denigration of our beliefs and faith. You sure will not want the same for yours.
You sure know nothing about Christianity, and keep Jesus Christ away from your Tinubu hustle.
thebosstrevor1: The Catholic church is not a member of CAN.so they are not slaves to the opinion of religious monopolists like CAN
CAN keep supporting divisive policies that will make Nigeria unsafe.
One interesting thing i noticed is this, those who call you a tribalist can't tolerate other religions.
Their religious intolerance is good but your tribal support is Evil.
They are quick to shout tribalism but then are not comfortable with a man or woman from another religion marrying their daughters or sons.
For those who do not like the Muslim muslim selection of APC.
There are other parties with muslim and Christian candidate, vote for them and stop making noise.
You spend all your time talking about Tinubu instead of promoting your candidate.
Nowadays, i hardly hear about Peter Obi and Atiku, the only candidate i hear all the Time is TINUBU, that shows the man is a threat to your candidate ambition
You're wrong. Tinubu is both a threat to himself and his own worst enemy. He is running for office to affect our lives. That gives us all the right in the world to mix and meddle in anything Tinubu, including reminding every man and his dog that the man who pays you to daily launder his sordid image on Nairaland and elsewhere is a confirmed reprobate.
This is classic Tinubu. Lies and deceit at every bend and touch. If he can already impersonate spiritual leaders at this point in the game to fool Nigerians, what will he do if Nigerians make the mistake of letting him anywhere near Aso Rock?.
This man has criminality running through his veins. Little wonder he continues to hide his parentage. Who knows what we will find out when that information finally surfaces?. But surface it will.
Nigerians already know who their enemies are, and help is around the corner. Obi-Datti2023
jumobi1: How would this trigger a criminal review? Someone enlighten me please.
One thing that comes to my mind is whether the case is now status bared or not. Can be checked. If enough uproar is created in the American space, yes, it may trigger a review. All it takes is for a US district attorney to decide that justice may not seem to have been done in the matter. There are other legal grounds, though.
Americans are emotional animals unlike the den of criminals Nigeria is.
akinremiayomide: you once said it IBB,now sani abacha I won’t be surprised if you later say Nelson Mandela said that gibberish
Meanwhile you should be worried about 29yr old gowon who sent your kinsmen to their early grave Till tomorrow,aboki go still dey remind you dey use you catch cruise how 3millions died like chickens Cowards!!!
Was the statement made or not?. In any case, it is common knowledge that your people have lean liver.
So, Igbos fought and lost when their lives was on the line. Fulani are daily kidnapping and murdering Yoruba, your people are still refugees in Benin Republic, have you fought back?.
Biafra did not fight Nigeria. Nigeria forces could not have prevailed against Biafra in a nation to nation armed conflict even in the Biafran military constitutionality at the time.
Biafra fought Britain primarily. British and Soviet armaments and Egyptian mercenary airmen.
What ended that war was not military exploit in the battle field by federal forces, but the conspiratorial use of air blockade to entrench and maintain starvation in Biafraland.
A clear war crime for which a Yoruba man should stand trial today if he had not cowardly taken his own life
What you lean livered She-men call victory was a bold, pragmatic and wise decision by the Biafran leadership to save it's children and people from an impending starvation.
Did you hear Gown say "no victor, no vanquished"?.
Against your ravaging ignorance, I'm happy to educate you to the effect that Biafra was not limited to Igbos, but their eastern kins and kits as well.
Every combat participant know that there were far more federal casualty in that war than were Biafrans.
I know most of you were deprived history lessons, and your elders truncated your limited education with lies to obfuscate their weakness and cowardice, but these are the facts. Facts are stubborn.
tamdun: U guys are dumb, don't worry, continue buying
You are right where you are right. I think no Igbo man or woman should be investing a Kobo outside the vestiges of the southeast today
That mistake have been made, and as Ojukwu told his people in his living days, this is what gave rise to the foolishness of tagging the same people who immensely benefitted Lagosians and indeed the southwest as dwellers and refugees in their own country.
Igbos should begin a systemic divestment from all Nigerian regions back to the southeast.
Nigeria and people from all over west and central Africa should be journeying to the land of the rising sun for trade just as they do to Lagos and other parts of Nigeria today, powered by Igbo sons and daughters.
The southeast urgently needs the taxes that will result from these transactions, hospitality revenues, etc.
And to the illiterate ode who believes SE will starve without Nigeria, pray a referendum never occurs or another civil war in Nigeria for that matter.
The desolation that will become your over-hyped southwest will leave you and your generations in chronic economic paralysis.
akinremiayomide: no one takes omo Igbo serious(cowards talking about war whereas hunger killed 3 million Fools,which makes their war lord run with tails in btw his ass to Ivory Coast disquised in his wife attire) Wanna be ojukwu(kanu) was captured like a cow faraway Kenya �� while ekpa keeps controlling foolish Igbo youth from Finland to burn down alaigbo .
Well ,until okoro or emeka becomes the governor /senator/king or the local language change to Igbo language until then,I go believe Lagos is no man’s land Well we remembered how fashola sent you all packing during his tenure , same fate awaits you all Remember how y’all cried victimizations in oshogbo recently? Lagos will be child play Remember how your eze indigbo was given the best wipe in his ass in akure ;Lagos will be a child play Remember how y’all cried when MC boys attacked your traders in ladipo Well same fate await you y’all
Y’all will learn to stay in your backward region by force very soon I don’t knw wetin they pursue you from your eldorado which makes you litters Ibadan,ogun ,oshogbo ,ekiti like refugee
Sani Abacha once said and I quote "If a Yoruba man is beating the drums of war, I will sleep with both eyes shut".
You get?. Would he dare say the same about the Igbo?. Go figure
Never4getU: gods of ogun, songo and obatala will destroy u and ur entire household.
Useless foolish people....u are quick to name-tag a Hausa/Fulani as terrorist and at some fora accuse them of plotting an agenda against the rest of the country. The Igbos in Nigeria are the most stupid people on earth.
How do you get into somebody's abode simply cause u are accepted and treated equally like their-selves then turn to hijack the true owner to scavengers or visitor in their own game? This same people are nursing to lead the country, i just wonder how possible this will now or what they would differently that will endeared major tribes of this country to them.
I said it several years, that no ordinary Igbo man will allow a non igbo speaking persons to thrive in their area of dominance. They are so obsessed with things which gesture they cant guarantee anyone, this is the reason why they fail at almost everything except business.
U say Lagos is a no man's land simply because the place allows the influx of all manners of troopers from all walks of life and then give them equal opportunity that is not make the state a weak entity, it can stifle life out of u through enactment of laws using the state apparatus like the state houses of assembly thereby restricting u of certain privilege being enjoy from it.
You obviously failed to read a few posts before yours. You may be slow in understanding so, here again. Lagos was built not by Yorubas or Yoruba resources, but by Nigerians, particularly Nigerdelta and Igbo oil and gas endowment.
You get?. Is it not foolishness and laziness to now lay exclusive claim to what we built together?.
Ok, show us that you can also do this on your own. What did you do in Ibadan?. How about Oshogbo?, Akure?, Abeokuta?, Ondo?.
Igbos legally purchased the assets they now own in the southwest and the north as well. I'm sure you've heared it mentioned that they are a major force in Abuja real estate ownership.
This is where the above comparison with feudal Fulani falls on its face. Igbos are not violent people. They work real hard and pay for what they acquire. They bring development and progress. What else are your problems other than jealousy?.

Taah!
Tinubu needs to explain what happened in Illinois and Indiana to Nigerians. We will not hire a man whose record is tainted without interrogating his character and conduct.
Your attempt at intimidation like Tinubu's wo-mandate is DOA.
