stuffs2002:
The day SE decided to wipe out the leaders of other regions.

Wipe out to achieve what? Some of you are so damn myopic. SE did not wipe out the British who ruled them for decades during colonialism, but they chose to do that with the entire country without any military base in the region, or the population and power to subjugate the entire country. Some of you are just daft to think that that coup was an Igbo coup. Not even the Fulanis some of you dread can openly carry out such an act. Dem no born them reach. But you think Igbos who were well represented in government and military at the time would want to dominate the entire country through force. If that was the case, Ironsi would have moved all military wares to the east and strengthen it. Yet, that would have been foolish. But except, the corrupt west was behind them to destabilise the country.
You all need to start thinking for yourselves, honestly.

Nnamdi azikwe was miraculously on a long vacation. Premier of eastern region was not killed. Senate president orizu was not killed. Make i no just talk

That coup was not a secret coup. Several military guys from the south west were informed but they declined to join. The crisis in the western regions, and another in the north, necessitated the coup. The likes of FFK's father were corruption personified and was remotely involved in the crisis. And besides, the muteeners' were sympathetic to Awolowo's plight. The coup was carried out to take those men out. It had nothing to do with all politicians or leaders at the time. Try to understand the history based on the context. Nnamdi Azikiwe or any other Igbo leader was not remotely involved in the political crisis of the western regions at the time.

Godwin4444:
y are u Igbos like this for crying out loud?

How many times have we laid that lie to rest that they wanted to free awolowo cos of d coup?

The coup was not about awolowo but Igbos greed for power, so if it was about freeing awolowo, y did nnamdi azikwe n ojukwu had issues about d war he embarked on?

Guy it's Igbos greed to have it all that led to d war n not trying to free awolowo

What's d relationship between awolowo n Igbos that Igbos will go out all their way to kill all those people simply because of one Yoruba man?

So u wanted to free awolowo but killed everyone aside from people from your tribe?

Guy u Igbos can't rewrite history

Igbos had it all, so what are you talking about? Whether they formed the alliance with the north or the west, Igbos were well placed and represented in politics and military. So, and with the newly found oil in the eastern region, no other region could have matched them. So, what power do you think they needed? Some of you are just stupid and wicked parroting lies.
That coup happened because of Awolowo and nothing else. And the coup wasn't a secret one. Several military men especially in the south west were informed but most declined to join. There was no Igbo conspiracy involved. The crisis in the South west was a concern to a lot of vibrant people, both civilians and military, at a time youths were very vibrant and fighting colonialism and corruption in the African continent. It is not like now that 50yrs old men are stupid and cowardly and do not have any revolutionary ideas.
If you want to understand history, you must study and put yourself in the era of those who participated in that history. Don't use you 2025 logic. You won't get it.

Yes he has the right to self defense..
If he chose that path.
The Court of Public Reason will find him guilty regardless...
To them..as a law enforcement officer,you're not meant to defend yourself against attacks from the public .you're to take any assault head on and not react so as not to draw the ire of Social Media denizens .
See how this Gen Z era has totally corrupted our rational way of thinking..
Even if you have disagreement with Police or any uniformed law enforcement officer.. you have no right to lay your hands on him..neither them unless they have probable cause.

In this scenario..no one knows what brought about the altercation..yet the officer showed restraint by not fighting back.
To me..that showed character and moral fibre and ought to be commended but hear what some commenters are saying .that he's a weak man ..see how woman is beating him..etc.
Had it been he defended himself and engaged the woman ,, the same bastards would be shouting Police brutality and seeking justice by having his head on a stake

You are the stupid one if you think millions of citizens are incapable of logic and reasoning. People can recognise when an officer is acting on self defence or is the aggressor.

You have the effontery to beat up your son to death despite the fact that he was stealing petty things,you are not a man enough...there are lots of things you could have done to him,to help him out of the cage , taking him to pastor,Alfas, even spiritualist...
You are so dull , and the mother too is weak, both parents failed woefully, I wish and pray other children will not take it up against you in the future.....

Something to note from Lugard.

Lugard was a mad man, and he remains a mad man even in the hell fire he permanently has a home.

I am currently dating two foreign ladies, one from Switzerland and the other from USA. Na the best thing I have ever experienced in my dating life. I have never billed them, neither them billed me. The communication is so beautiful and pure. We just share and talk about our daily lives, achievements, spirituality, aspirations, e.t.c. A little naughtiness here and there, but no overt sexuality; no urgent 2k or data sub. It's so beautiful.
Their curiousity and interest to learn about Nigeria and our culture and art, is so sensational, too. Omor, I advise every Nigerian guy to date outside naija and experience real love outside.

helinues:
Some people or group are hiding behind Turji's name in this case

Turji just had meetings with some Fulani's elders about peace talk. Turji wouldn't have shown up for the meeting if he wasn't interested in peace most especially that the DHQ have declared him wanted

You are very useless and stupid gboun, Obori of the highest order, a very foolish inama.

VDM is a government distraction agent. Anytime something serious and of national concern is being discussed like the Sharia court matter in south west, this dude rises up to cause distraction.

Not hacked, Henry Ford rising from the grave and taking control of the X account.

Meanwhile Natanyahu suffering fom Stage 3 cancer which is pretty advanced. It has most likely spread to his testes and they may need to be removed. It happened to Bobby Riggs. then even if the surgery was successful, if the cells have made their way to the lymph nodes, the cancer will still come back.

Same as former Israeli Prime Minister Sharon. Sharon suffered a hemorrhagic stroke on 4 January 2006, and remained in a long-term care facility in a vegetative state from late 2006 until his death. Sharon died at 14:00 on 11 January 2014. God works in mysterious ways.

Now I really am very curious to find out what God has in store for Netanyahu. Hopefully it's something worse than what Sharon had to endure

The world is a stage. And these men and women running this shitshow are mere actors. They only take a bow from the scene and then go back to play another role. Nothing is real.

UltraSolid:
Defamation that is civil and/or criminal conduct in all sane nations of the world, with judicial punishment, this unexposed riff raff is terming "tyranny". I'd advise you to stop using words you don't know the meaning of but you are a hopeless case.

Like I told someone above, Igbos thought IPOB should make law for them with Kanu, Ekpa and co being their defacto leaders. Today Igbos are enjoying the lawlessness that is 100% assured when you throw law and order out of the window to replace it with the dictatorial decree of a school drop-outs and an adult who plays with plastic sword who is now in a Finnish jail.

When we are administered regionally, by the grace of God, do as you please in your corner fighting "tyranny" same as lawless Igbos deployed Kanu and Ekpa to help them fight Buhari "tyranny" only to be crying today.

Since I realised that we have the cursed children of those who kidnapped and sold their fellow human beings and race into slavery, I don't get surprised seeing those who hate justice and love injustice. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Like Cain, they have the mark of treachery and wickedness like their forebears engraved on their heads.

If a woman rejects you, move on.

Witch hunting her shows that you haven't gotten over her and she is bigger than you.

Una mumu for this corntree die sha.

Goodnewsforlife:
they aren't making noise like d Igbos

When did u see Europeans or Chinese bragging?

They are not bragging because what they are doing is illegal in a very fair world. The AES countries should be an eye opener for you.

Is it not the same Muslims and their alfas we read about every day committing those atrocities the most?

Kdon2:
It's within any citizens right to demand secession so long as it's non violent. KANU and ekpa's crime was the violence they added to theirs. As you can see yoruba land remain peaceful despite desire for self rule.

You Nigerians are a very low IQ motherfuckers. Dem swear for una? Is Ukraine, Russia, America,Hamas, Israel, e.t.c using peaceful means to defend their interests? You like following any bullshit the west throws out you all, meanwhile they will not take half of what this terrorist country is doing to the various ethnic nations trapped in this zoo.

Hello nairaland

I bought an orthopedic mattress yesterday and I slept on it last night and I've come to discover that it's too hard for me. It's not bouncy at all, and feels like I'm lying on a rock.

I'm 72kg, and in not suffering from any joint conditions.. I only bought the mattress because it was recommended by the seller as a 'good and durable mattress'

What do I do next? It's just too hard for me to endure and I don't know if it's going to get any better (or get slightly soft so that I can enjoy the mattress

Thank you for reading.

You better return it now if you can. Na pure rubbish and you will regret it.
P.s. I have a little back issues and so I hated the over soft and bouncy foam I had. I went and bought this semi orthopedic foam that the seller highly recommended for my issue. Omor, the foam hard die. Even sleeping on bare floor is better than this mattress. The annoying part is that I can't move and turn my body. Any spot I lay on, it will go down and then refuse to bounce back once I get up; it takes forever to rise up. I just regret the money I wasted. The sellers are not willing to take it back sef. The foam is already wavy and uneven; the centre has almost collapsed. I will soon get another but just skeptical so that I don't buy rubbish again.

Omoawoke:
A world where people have lost their humanity and sanity and everything “it”

All because of politics.

Children died in Ibadan and I read some of the most inhumane comments from people online. Some were actually celebrating the death of others!
Like, they were celebrating!! All because of politics!

Another sad news today where people died in Anambra, people actually died! Humans like you lost their lives, people’s parents, friends, sisters, aunties and uncles died and it became a score counting contest.

To me both are barbaric and it doesn’t make sense.

But looking at this, I will be very direct with no filter. The normal Yorubas I know will never ever have mocked Igbos on Anambra incidence, but I saw the mockery coming and totally unavoidable…. When some bigots with dead brain cells made a mockery of an entire tribe over the death of kids, the clap back would definitely come.
You provoke people to hate you ! You provoke people and invite enemies on yourself. Even nature will be unkind to you.

But I plead with my southwest brothers, please, this is not a moment to count scores, we are talking of human lives here.
Those that died and are suffering the pains right now don’t know tribe or politics anymore!

Yorubas and gaslighting, tueh! Thank God for the internet, Una for use Una Lagos Ibadan lying news media take finish us.

Now, this is worrisome. The church has tight and small spaces so I would have expected them to coordinate the distribution in an organised manner.

You are putting Nigerians and organising in one sentence. Lmao. You really expect too much from Nigerians.

7yrs ag, I once spent ₦4500 to travel from my state Bayelsa to Abuja. People wey go go heaven for Nigeria no reach 100.

Bandirao:
she is in no position to tell us the truth she is British nigress and we are Nigerians let a true Nigerian to come and criticised us not her vulture with no root

Gboun, obori

MatrixCircle:
She has no proof, and as someone highly placed as she is, I think she should mind the way she talks. In the UK they are laws that governs everything and as a legislator she should understand better.

House niggas everywhere.

Originalsly:
Africa's worst enemy is a Colonialised African. Seun Kuti is on point.......100%. ...the Colonialised mind cannot see it ... but will support what Kemi said. Our leaders ... the same ... striving for Whiteness .... success is measured by how close you are to Whiteness in terms of what they consider to be successful. And we be wondering why our politicians are so greedy... corrupt ..always finding or creating an avenue to loot ... never caring about the masses ... why the Pastors be living in luxury off the meagre earnings of their congregation... dashing them crumbs every blue moon ... bosses exploiting their employees etc .... all with one common goal ... to bring themselves closer to Whiteness ... the means to get there doesn't matter ... just get to the end ...by any means necessary...even to the detriment of your own people. Even the poor ...have the same mentality ... as we can clearly see in those who bleach ... another way of moving closer to Whiteness .

Nothing goes unnoticed in this world .... if she was not born in the UK .. she can be deported...very possible that she can be back in Nigeria.

You need to take your drugs judiciously.

Alliswell248:
Kemi said he is more Yorubas than a Nigerian.
We ,omoluabi rejected the way and manners in which she denigrated Nigeria...

!pob miscreants should mind their businesses.

Gboun. Same you ronu rascals that were chanting "think Yoruba first", suddenly now antagonise Kemi for thinking yoruba first. Pathetic two face gbouns.

bjtinz:
Ironic that most opposition to Kemis couth statements is coming from her home tribe. Now you know those that are well brought up.

Yes, your father was a drunkard, so why not broadcast to BBC naa? 🙄

It's only an omoale that will support such.

Yes, Nigeria has many, MANY issues, and a leader of her standing should provide usful suggestions. Let's be clear, there's nothing constructive about her criticisms. Like most discerning minds have concluded, its mainly to pander to her white masters.

The spirit of Afxnja has finally infested the yorubas. It is just matter of time they become radical like the north. Don't stop romatising the north and Nigeria, you will be unrecognisable in the very near future.

NOETHNICITY:
This is one reason I likes Yorubas

As much as they value their ethnicity, it doesn’t influence their political views and position
Very much unlike the other people are the other end of the divide

chatinent:
Lol. Wetin dey Africa wey a successful woman as she go dey dream to come? Boko? Tribalism? Lol. So na only when I suffer succeed I should claim Naija online?

Very funny country. Na only successful people countrymen like to claim! This is the same country that the govt is intentionally making everyone suffer, but one person will struggle and change the status quo and become successful and the same shit hole country will want to claim you!

While I find her comments insensitive to say for someone in the helm of affairs, ajeh, is there any other way to put it? How can we be defending a country targeted to make us suffer! Is the country not a shit hole! Abi make I mince words too? It's a corruption-infested shit hole naw and you mah know it's true.

Only mad people see her comment as insensitive.
