helinues: Exactly my thoughts. Just because she wrote a few books, we should start taking her seriously on matters of politics and governance? She is my sister from Anambra State, but she has lost every respect I have for her. I never knew she was just brilliant, but no where near intelligent. It is such a shame! Chimamanda is so daft that she didn't know that politics in Anambra state has been destroyed by denominational religion. And this dangerous trend was advanced and taken to a whole new, destructive level under Peter Obi. What does Chimamanda know about Anambra politics, let alone politics in Nigeria? If you come to Anambra state today, the Governor must be a Catholic, and his Deputy, an Anglican. What kind of nonsensical stupidity is that? When we talk as true sons of Anambra, and as concerned Nigerians, miscreants that have been overtaken by idiocy, illiteracy and drunkenness will come up to social media to talk gibberish. Obi as Governor from Anambra Central is a Catholic while his Deputy, Chief Emeka Sibeudu, is an Anglican from Umunze town in Orumba South LGA, Anambra South (my Senatorial Zone). There comes another Governor, the stylish and charismatic Akpokuodike Willy Obiano, another Catholic, installed by Obi, from Aguleri in Anambra North Senatorial Zone with his Deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke, an Anglican from Anambra Central. Today, we have Odenigbo Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, a staunch Catholic, installed by Chief Willy Obiano, from Isuofia in Aguata LGA of Anambra South Senatorial Zone as Governor and yet another Anglican, whose elder brother is a super Bishop in the Anglican Community in the Southeast, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, from Mbaukwu in Awka South LGA as Deputy Governor. Go and find out the denominations of the individuals Obi tried to upstage Chief Willy Obiano with, after the duo fell apart, Chief Oseloka Henry Obaze, I think in 2018, and Mr. Val Ozigbo in 2021. Does this mean that everyone Obi, someone who wants to be president of Nigeria, knows are Catholics? Let's not even go to his import-dominated investments and businesses across Nigeria, which is another huge red flag that portends evil for our economy. For Obi, life and governance are Catholic. This is the height of religious intolerance. These were the issues we tried to point out as unbiased, roundly informed intellectuals and genuine stakeholders, but some reckless and senseless fellows allow emotions to overwhelm them. For me, the single fact that Tinubu is married to a Christian for decades, despite being a Muslim, says more than a book about his individuality, mindset and temperament. We have seen Tinubu install a Muslim and two Christians as Governors of Lagos State. I am ashamed for Bishop Oyedepo, Dr. Paul Enenche and a whole lot of them, and especially, millions of young Nigerians who call themselves Obidients, but who know next to nothing about the man, Peter Obi. In the past two days, I had driven past the front of Peter Obi's house in Agulu, which is just bye the popular Madonna Catholic Church. I have touched and engaged the man. I maintain that he, profoundly, lacks the broadness, diversity, sensitivity, sensibility, intellect and balance of mind to preside over Nigeria. Even if he were my father, I'd say the same thing. Abeg, make I sleep small. 12 Likes 5 Shares |

muhammaduyusufu: A practicing physician who urgently needs a doctor. This is a very critical period the Yorubas should carefully observe and pick who's the best stuff for leadership roles. A leadership on sound values, equity, transparency, justice and absolute resolve for competence. This Afelumo is a drowning idiot. Elders, elder statesmen, should be able to blur tribal lines and show superior abilities to manage diversity in times like this. Tinubu is the curse and cause for all of these. Inability to tell him to his face is cowardice. 1 Like |

News coming out everyday that some Nigerians are been arrested for drug peddling Abroad, especially India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia etc but we always know where this people comes from without reading the details of the News yet. Lemme give you a source of income. Anytime this News is out, just look for a gambler, place all your Life savings with the person that those people arrested are from a particular region (southeast Nigeria). Boom you have multiply your wealth. I also wish you know the circumstance around peter Obi's Father death. Ofunaofu: 4 Likes 2 Shares |

It's a pity tribal bigotry thrives in a country where over 90% of the population are living in abject poverty. What happened on 25th February is the biggest shame of our dear giant of Africa. All the things we are suffering in our nation is irrespective of tribe. It's a collective suffering of over 90% of our population. *Hyper inflation *Bad road *Erratic electricity supply with high tariffs * Bandits went on holiday during campaign and election but now has resume duty * High cost of living *Unabated terrorism *Unabated kidnapping and general insecurity * Poor service in our hospitals while our leaders keep patronizing foreign hospital. * Poor state of our schools while our leaders keep patronizing foreign schools. *Borrowing with nothing to show *Future of our youth blinks *Joblessness and youth restiveness * God bless us with crude oil yet exported for refining and the products imported at high cost. *The list is endless SUFFERING AND SMILING (In Fela's word) 1 Like |

You killed over 28 Northerners laders and came to SW and killed my leaders without single person from your side and midwest because the premier speaks the same language with you that time.

The Dr.'s style of writing is free-flowing while Chimamanda's writing felt like an effort at being trying to be grammatically correct with every sentence. In other words, what took Chimamanda six weeks to prepare, modify, proof-read and revise before publishing, the Dr took in his strides in two days (or less) during off-call periods. Omo, this Dr. na don o, make I no lie you. 5 Likes 1 Share |

The long and short of all these bric bats is simple. If Nigeria has been getting it right with their views of the country and the paths they have chosen to follow why is this country not better than it is. Why has Nigeria not developed, simple. There is a way that seems right to most Nigerians, the way the majority has charted for this country. See where it has led us. The doctor should focus on that with clear introspection. By 2027 we will see whether it was another waste of time. Because we have heard all these and more time and again. |

Adichie is nothing but a typical Igbo. Bigoted, clannishly repellent, ungrateful, unreasonable, self-centred and perpetually disdainful of non-Igbos. The good Dr is right about her 100%. For her purported talent and brilliance there is always that underbelly of bigotry against other Nigerians, especially Yorubas, seeping through her veiled utterances and demeanour exactly like Chinua Achebe also. Soyinka is far classier than both and a truly benevolent lover of Nigeria and all Nigerians The bottom line is that No nation can truly develop and be great hosting enemies-within, i.e Igbos, as Nigeria does. If Tinubu does not move to enshrine regional autonomy as the defacto system of Nigerian governance going forward, so we can all live and thrive without being impediments to each other, and also end the unhealthy rancor and bad blood the jostling for the Presidency causes every four years, then I will personally work to ensure he is not re-elected President in 2027. 6 Likes 1 Share |
