One step forward ten steps backward.
They're so blind they can't even see it, it is a divine law, those who don't give will never receive.

Aregbe's political ambitions may not materialise after biting the finger that fed him

Abeg anybody seen that mere commissioner aka oshigbanjo?, won ti poora bi iso.
These things happens repeatedly yet people refused to learn, how can Aregbe get liver to rubbish Tinubu., especially at that critical period.
He messed it all up so much Tinubu became the president of Nigeria without a meaningful contribution from Osuns state, shame of his life.
How can Aregbe throw spanner in Tinubu's wheels?, thank God he exposed himself early Aregbe is a dangerous friend.

LeeSmart:
😆😆 look at farotimi's physical appearance very well, does he looks like someone who's gonn be scared of whatever lawsuit u brought against him? Omor that man is a fearlese warrior... Why do I feel like Peter Obi has a hand in talking to Afe babalola in dropping these charges.

Obi was already there and Are said no.
Obasanjo also failed, go and count the numbers of the traditional rulers involved.

Irupetepete:
You ask yourself,how did these lawyers amaze so much wealth? Do you know how many property this afe babalola has? The building item7 rented at bodija belongs to him....na from cases?
I shook the day we went to belgore mansion at banana island....

Property lawyers are paid in properties.
My mum's family paid for land related services with acres of lands.
And mind you most of these lands appreciate in values over a long period of time.
Just imagine the lawyers working for the land owners of Ibeju Lekki, V/I , Ajah and the environs.
E choke, lawyers and surveyors should just pray for grace to land some of this contracts.

Irony1:
Did I not tell you that Banjo's task was to lead the Army to Lagos to dislodge Gowon.you just want to say rubbish to justify your stupid bias. Banjo himself stopped at Ore, Ojukwu never told him to stay in Ore. You just want to be stupid as usual.

Banjo should have just march into Lagos?.
You just called me stupid, anyway a certain Olusegun Obasanjo was in charge of SW and he won't let Banjo through.
Banjo wasted three weeks begging Obasanjo who refused to co operate, meanwhile Biafran soldiers were running amork in Benin and Asaba doing the unexpected, this made the people of Ore to become restless and the rest is history.
There are so many books on the war, get some and be informed.
Shalom.

Irony1:
Oga stop trying to be smart this game from you Is stale. Was a Yoruba man not the commander of the Biafran army that was advancing to Lagos?

But Banjo still took orders from Ojukwu, right?.
Let me help you, if you like believe, if you like don't believe.
Why did the Biafran army crossed into Asaba?.
All that Ojukwu needed was to destroy Asaba bridge and defend the Eastern Region.
Easter region was Ojukwu's primary assignment, he missed it, this was why he lost.

Irony1:
Was it not Banjo a Yoruba man that led the Biafran army to Lagos that stopped at Ore? You are the one that is ignorant oooo. You think you are smart, you hid the fact that it was a Yoruba man that led the Army into SW.

What was Biafra army doing at Ore?.
You're still not getting it and I won't tell you the answer.
Small yansh dey shake, every sensible person knows why Ojukwu lost the war except the Igbos.

Irony1:
How did they venture into Yoruba land. You don't have sense ooooo. This is a mental illness you are suffering from. Oga look for another decent job and stop fooling yourself

So you don't know why Ojukwu failed?.
Guy you're submerged in ignorance, see who am discussing with, you don't know why the first attempt failed and your folks a gearing up for another attempt?.

Irony1:
If they are politically inconsequential, allow them to go. Why forcing them to remain in the union. Why are you afraid of them leaving? I don't get this stupidity from you. You hate someone, you say he is not important, yet when he says he wants to leave, you deploy soldiers after their people, oya allow them to achieve what they need to achieve in the country, you will call them names. Walahi people like you need serious beating with horsewhip 24 lashes every morning, so that you will have sense.

Sad, your father once had a chance to leave, but after capturing places that are not even Igbo land, they ventured into Yoruba land and the rest is history.
@ 24 lashes, people like you deserves them more, because your likes have still yet to come to terms, with the fact that Igbos are only getting what they wished others.

Nefort:
A merger of all southern region would be extra rich and powerful. But tribalism wouldn't allow people go for it. The north is dragging us back.

No to Southern Nigeria, let everyone answer their fathers names.
Southern Nigeria when it suits them, one Nigeria when it profits them, abeg e don do.
If each region was allowed to develop at their own pace, all the regions for don go far.

Slytiger:
A region the size of Oyo state, with 5 different state governments, generates less than Oyo state?

Man, the most useless, parasitic, empty, and unproductive region in Nigeria is the southeast.

The SE region is fvcking useless.

Shocking.

Paramount01:
Oyo too is headquarter for compines abi?

Don't mind them, Oyo that is a brown roof republic made more money, than a place with useless mansions.

Richpet85:
Why this so much hatred for Igbo nation, anytime I read through nairaland articles. I see so much hate for South Eastern Nigeria from people commentaries especially from Westerners.
When will this hate, animosity and tribalistic tendencies going to stop.
We are United Nation, we are Africans, we are blacks and we are one Nigeria until otherwise is stated and proving.
Can we invest this energy of calling names and spitting venom to some useful things for the betterment of our collective growth and success.
Let peace reign.

SE brought disaster upon themselves, whatsoever a man soweth, so shall he reap.
Things were never like this in the beginning, until the Igbo begins to see their fellow citizens as subhumans that must be subjugated by Igbos.
If Igbos have succeed in their agenda to annex and subjugate the whole of Southern Nigeria, on the pretext of liberation, you won't be here preaching love.

BloomingDale:
Remove Lagos from South West, let’s see the real figures.

But Oyo state is doing better than the whole of south East, or are you saying Lagos is inside Oyo state too.

yashau:
OYO State Contributed more than south east combined N272.41bn

Shocking.

Nonybb:
Whether Nigeria like it or not, BIAFRA will come. It might take years, even hundreds of years but surely it would come. No nation subjugates it people and thrive indefinitely. Syria doesn't want Bashir Al Asad, he refused. It doesn't matter. It was time that sort out the rest. Nigeria is prolonging the inevitable and for how long, I don't know; and time is not defined. South Sudan doesn't want Sudan, they refused, it doesn't matter. Time sort it out. The only panacea to Biafra is JUSTICE.

Let Nigeria go back to tripod rule of Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba. Not even Niger Delta like the way they smuggled Godwills Akpabio into the seat. Secondly, South East should be called the Middle East because it is not even in the South East anyway(Look at the map) . Calabar, Akwaibom are the South East. Nigeria should choose three regions; annex parts of the Rivers that are Igbos and include them in the Middle East appendage(because it was created to spite Biafrans during the war by Gowon) Three regions should rule supreme: South West, north central and Middle East. Thirdly each region should concede who rule from their region in the tripod arrangement of Presidency, Vice presidency and senate presidency. For instance, the middle East that concede that a South East from Calabar rule in either presidency, vice presidency and Senate presidency when their turn reached in that Rotational system. That veto power should belong to the major ethnic groups of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba. It should be called a WAZOBIA system, then peace would return to Nigeria and give the marginalized tribe a sense of belonging

Nigeria is no longer interested in tripod, we love the new spibod model.
When it was tripod some folks created Midwest and forgot to create Mideast, Abacha saw through that greed and did the needful.
Nigeria is a multiethnic society, live and let the others live.
Every Nigerian is happy with the current geopolitical arrangement except those who are never happy to see others flourish.
May they remain perpetually unhappy, till they come to the realization that before the arrival of the British, everyone answer their fathers name.
Days of empires and expansions are long gone, those trying to annex other people's homelands should rest' cause it won't happen.

PussyMiners:
You are dumber than I had initially thought .
Imagine every state contributing the ‘119MW’ every 5 years .
That’s 119 x 36 x 4
That’s about 20,000 MW
Isn’t that better than our current capacity ?

You should take your own advice . Stay away from whatever you smoke and take your education seriously

Gbam.

coputa:
And he still has the effrontery to criticize others

Still enforcing the law of backwardness na.
Imagine people holding briefs for diabolical leaders.
They wake up every morning to lay curses on those making efforts, to make things work.
And help their tasks masters who loads them with heavy doses of hardship, with prayers.
Ignorance is terrorism.

realguyremzy:
Then the law should have been amended. That is what is called progress

Don't mind them, the law was set in stones like the rock of Gibraltar.
And Obj's brain is frozen he can't even think, how else will he know that Nigeria needs electricity, and so anyone making efforts should be supported, by any means necessary.

slimfit1:
He and Atiku did it to Lagos as well, that's why LAZY north didn't want to build their own power plants. If all state where forced to build a power plant at 700megawatts each we won't be having problems there will be jobs all around the country. But because some people want to sell generators we all should suffer. They know how to buy the best cars in the north and use planes to get it delivered to them but can't invest in basic infrastructures.

This Lagos own really pain me, infact I hated Obj and PDP since then.
May PDP never rise again in this country, that party and anyone that has associated with it, may they never amount to anything in this country.

MadPolitician:
The Coup was organised to eliminate corrupt and evil rulers responsible for the killings in the country, especially in the south west and the Middle belt. Read the coup speech The Coup was not organised to spread killings around. Get a grip! Akintola and the NPC were responsible for operation wetie that led to the massive killings in the south west. Sarduna and co were responsible for using maximum force to put down the Tivs riots. There were no such cases in the east. In any event Awolowo was the real leader of the south west. He was in Calabar prisons on the day of the Coup and the coupists were controlling Calabar totally. So why didn't they kill him if eliminating the leaders of other regions was the sole agenda of the coup?

Continue to deceive yourself, why was Okotieboh killed, why was Balewa killed,
What were the coup plotters doing in prison, what is the universal law and purnishment as regards a failed coup?.

Streetinvestor2:
If you like make billboards with the coup.
The SE will align with north to remove SW president. This is the only thing important to igbos now.
The dead are buried. The living has to know the future enemy which is SW frog eye president.
He is the Egyptian that most be stopped

You guys just don't get it do you?, Igbos have always aligned with the north since independence.
This is what history is important, Yorubas have always achieve great things without Igbo contribution.
Igbos aligned with the north even for 16 years, they didn't profit anything, they wailed marginalization and blame Yoruba.
If not for Lugard, organized Yourubas have no business living in the same country with disorganized folks like yours.

MadPolitician:
Riots started because the revolutionary coup was painted an "igbo coup" by people like you. Go and read from any independent source. This laughable idea that northerners started attacking igbos because some igbos started to taunt them after the coup, is nothing but a Yoru-SouthWest revisionist attempt to procure enough excuses for the mindless killings of innocent civilians that followed. The BBC, the remnants of the old order and tribal mutants all ganged up to encourage the people to unleash a pogrom. Had nothing to do with anyone being taunted

Seriously?, there wasn't anything like ronu then.
During my NYSC I heard the story, Igbos were even selling the pictures of Kaduna Nzeogwu in the market, celebrating him as a hero who killed Northern fathers.
You guys are shameless liars, the whole world knows what happened and no amount of tell tales will erase or cover what happened that day.

skywalker240:
Not Wike actually

Greed and Selfishness destroyed PDP

Atiku destroyed PDP

A person that's lacking in leadership qualities, always running around searching for presidential tickets.
As long as Atiku remains in PDP, that party will not prosper.
