Nigerians only need to straight out their crooked ways abroad and xenophobia will die a natural death.
As if we don't know what most Nigerians do abroad, when a drum is sounding too loud, that drum is about to burst.
A guy in UK was recently bursted over credit card fraud, his lawyer is still slugging it out with Scotland yard police, and this greedy fellow was again caught trying to sell a stolen British passport.
Even his lawyer abandoned him and the guy is now serving 10years jail term.
Why can't Nigerians be straight for God's sake, always trying to show others that we are smarter than them, and when the repercussions begins to hunt us, we shout racism and xenophobia haba!.

God bless you senator.

Don't mind him, disgracing Okun people up and down, Okuns are brilliant and respectable people, only God knows where this clown emanates from.

Over there once u are a public figure, which dino is then anyone can snitch on u while the onus now lies on u to prove ur case lol

The idiot came to the Senate floor with academic gown as if students are allowed to go away with academic gowns.
He thinks academic gown is what makes a graduate, by the time the American lawyers finish with him in the witness box, na disgrace sure pass.

Is anybody watching d programme on TVCNEWS, I think I just saw Namadi Sambo beside Dambazau.

Sambo self come lecture? very soon Jona and mama piss go join.
More like Gowon wey first rule Nigeria before going to study political science at the University.
If only these trio had joined the colloquium before 2011, may be, may be, sobs, sorry Jona.

Jalinco:
But you people told us Tinubu and Aketi are fighting now.
So Tinubu had two candidates for the same party in the same erection? O da o

Korea is not the same as Nigeria. It's one country, same language and similar aspirations. No doubt Tinubu is a maverick. I give it to him that he sure understands talent. He has built a massive loyalty around himself. That he has accommodated Fashola, projected the VP without any concern they will outshine him is a plus to his style. However his success at the national stage will not stand the test of time. It is built on SW / North alliance; thrives on common fear and hatred for the Igbo. Tinubus dexterity and skill relies on this political setting at the national stage. It will collapse because the politics of excluding the Igbo is only living on borrowed times. The expectation of most of you is that the Igbo will one day kneel and beg for mercy. I see an exerted effort to challenge the Igbo way of life as the problem with his condition in Nigeria. Quite a pity that many are falling for this trick. The Igbo will remain Igbo and will never change to appease the Yoruba and Hausa. You accept us the way we are or let the Igbo have their own country. It is either Nigeria make a political arrangement that will put an Igbo in ASO rock the way they did same for OBJ and Jonathan; the manner it happened for Buhari or else get prepared for full restructuring.

would you believe if I tell you that Igbos are the one playing themselves out of position in Nigerian politics?.
Igbos are part of first and second republics, they are part and parcel of PDP's 16 years of government, where exactly were they kept out of the government?.
Eye don open for Nigeria bad politicking will not help any tribe.
Google is your friend, check what happened at PDP's 1999 convention and tell me how Obj became PDP flag bearer.
The combination of SE, SS and some elements in the MB are enough to force OBJ and his sponsors into a second round of balloting but, those who were supposed to defend the interest of SE collected dollars and Alex Ekwueme was embarrassed at the first round of balloting.
Did you know how many times the Senate presidency exchanged hands among the same group of people?
Just as your people cannot beg anybody to give you the presidency of Nigeria, your people cannot force other Nigerians to chose an Igbo president.
The citizens of this country have right to choose who they want to lead them, there are over 20 political parties in Nigeria, so who exactly is stopping you people?.
You people had better start building bridges and stop nagging, anyway Biafra is also an option.

Nwachineke1980:
What did Obasanjo do for the Igbos?Obasanjo started and completed the dualization of Onitsha -Owerri road.Obasanjo started the Alaoji power station(completed by Jonathan).If Obasanjo (a Yoruba President)is a stooge ,what will you call Tinubu(present Yoruba leader) and Igbokwe?.How can Okorocha be the smartest Igbo politician ,when Buhari rejected his only nominee for the position of the deputy house leader?Presently,Omo state only has a junior minister of education(the guy is even a professor,while the senior minister is a journalist from the North).And the big question,can you tell me what the Yoruba's have gained in Buhari government?

=

You see yourself? Tinubu is not even an ordinary Chancellor how can he be anybody's stooge?.
Tinubu is just the man with a deadly political chess board.
Tinubu just love playing politics which will help him actualize his vision for his people in Nigeria.
Let me come down to your level of understanding, get yourself a copy of Jong de Jeon, a Korean historical season film.
It is about a man, an ordinary clerk in the palace, who gathered like minds, and manipulate them to ensure a dynastic revolution in his country.
He single handedly demolished the ruling dynasty and replace it with a man of his choice and position himself as Joseon's first prime minister.
Can you spot the similarities?, politics is not for unintelligent people.
Most things that happened and come out as a big shocks, are what the initiators had planned over a period of 10- 20 years.
That's why I believes that Okorocha still remains the smartest politician of the South East.
The powers that preferred Obj over Ekwueme, are still the same power that preferred Good luck over Ken Nnamani.
That power would still have smuggled Good luck in for the second term, if it hasn't run into Tinubu and his crew.
Since Obj is not a stooge, show me just one Obasanjo's achievement in SW.
Tinubu that is supposedly a stooge to your likes, his blue prints are all over SW.

Lagos is getting somewhere can you not see it or would you rather live under the covering of woods?? How long before the flood comes and take you along with it??

Thank Ambode

Don't mind them, as if shanties na house.

Nwachineke1980:
This guy is an Igbo man but I have never heard him say something positive about Igbo people. Mazi Joe Igbokwe let me remind you that the yorubas that you are praising where against Obasanjo presidency.Mr Olu Falae was their candidate and he lost.Mr Bola Ige Nigeria attorney general was assassinated when Obasanjo was President because he refused to support someone in his reelection plans.This same Yoruba's sold their speakership position to tambuwal in 2011 and the same tambuwal betrayed them for the same position in 2015.Nigeria politics is about individual and not tribe.

This is precisely what Igbokwe was saying, Yoruba's did not believe in Obasanjo, so they voted Olu Falae who participate is June 12 struggle.
Obasanjo was never a part of the struggle, he contributed nothing and so was seen as a stooge of the northern oligarchs. So they voted against him, Yorubas who voted against Obj were right weren't they?.
The Easterners who voted and even rigged Obj in, what did Obj contribute to their region?.
Politics is not played by unintelligent people, the decision of SW rep to make Tambuwal the speaker of the house of reps, by vote against Mulikat, who is a useless luggage anyway, was what destroyed PDP.
Okorocha that some people are making mockery of is actually the smartest Igbo politician at the moment, I won't tell you why, you will eventually find out.

mathemagician3:
Ironically, the political gladiators from your region watched as their first class Oba was whisked away from his throne in Ile-Ife, driven in a rusty black-maria all the way to Abuja and is only a few kilometers from being thrown in Kuje Prison where he'll bow down to the Onikuje of Kuje, the great Nnamdi Kanu.

So much for political sophistication, isn't it?

Na today Kabiyesi dey have brush with the law? you better go and Google search Olateru Olagbegi an Owo monarch.
Only few Oba's are exempted from this kind of situation and these are the Kings bearing the ancient crowns and staffs.( Ade ishenbaye )
Police can't just dash in and arrest an Alafin or Ooni, Omo' n ' Oba, Orangun and the small but mighty, Olowu.
Because you see people wearing crowns you think they are all Kings?. these are modern Kings, non of the modern Kings can be coronated without the approvals of those mentioned above.
Apart from these historical Kings, there are other classes of Kings, first, second and third class Kings.
Abeg no make me laugh o jare.

Everything the IMF said Nigeria should be doing is exactly what Nigeria has done. They are just not happy that the Naira is proving to have value after the partial floating

You sabi as the matter dey go.

Guestlander:
Ilaje and Ijebu are not Yorubas right? How come Awolowo, an Ijebu man founded the Egbe Omo Oduduwa?

Leave ignorant people alone na, Ijaws don't even know that they are migrants in Ondo state.
The reason the Ijaws are in Ondo state is because Ijaws are riverine dwellers, they migrate to the present day Ondo state and other river banks in Nigeria.
They better start asking their fore fathers how they got to Ondo, before it becomes too late.

chukagates:
chai.. some pple na real otondo ...the only time igbos dont carry out reprisals is when it is Ipob vs ARMY... ask your northern cohorts how far after that massacre in enugu ask them how far after they tried rubbish in aba..they were burnt and massacred in aba....igbos has never been asslickers Go with your SYMPATHY DIRECT IT TO THE WEST AND MIDDLEBELT..see who wan split naija yoruba?? una no get mind its a known fact

Which yeye post be dis? na today aboki begin dey use yamirin meat do suya?.

Guestlander:
How can Yoruba need Nigeria more than the people who travel out their own domain to settle in every corners of Nigeria? More than the people who have a large population and very small land area?
I don't understand why you people sometimes stand logic on its head. So Yoruba needs Nigeria to develop Lagos? What type of logic is that?

Dem no know say na person wey wan sell market dey hawk.
Ignore them.

No it can never happen, let everyone answer their papa name.

MoltenMagma:
Call them _aboki, call them animals, call them worreva but we need them. It shows that every section of the country is important and should not be underrated. Truth

You can say that again, thumbs up bro.
This is an idea that the government of this country should have tapped into but, even this sector has its own cabals who are usually like rats at the corridors of power and because of their political affiliation, the government may not want to step on their toes.
It bleeds my heart whenever I heard that food is cheaper up north but the cost of transportation and the endless police exploitative road blocks are the challenges.
I would sometimes wonder, what exactly is wrong with our brains in this country? these are jobs for trains why trailers.
Thank God my people are waking up, at least with this development trailer owners will know it's no longer business as usual.

ISDKING:
Biafrans are really frustrating you because that's what you chose.You have insulted Nnamdi Kanu, posting all sorts of fake videos, yet 80% of S/E and S/Southerners are standing with him and the number is still increasing as I am typing this.Now, you have decided to attack a man of God all in bid to keep fighting Biafrans which you and I know the people that wl laugh last when the time comes.
1: What do u benefit from all these trash you post about Biafra ?
2: Are you afraid of standing with your masters up north after Biafras must have gone ?
3: Is doing this your job, I mean your source income. ?
You really need a psychologist cos this thing you are doing is beyond ordinary.

God is no respecter of anybody, this fake MOG has been disgraced because God no send am.
I also recommend you see a psychiatrist before it's too late.

ruggedised:
exactly what I'm saying, your hatred for igbos will not let you see the truth

Stop taking panadol for Afonja's head ache as you might end up mistaking POISON for panadol, you are on your own.

Nightshift:
Hate him or love him, one thing is quite clear about President Buhari - he loves Nigeria and wants this country to succeed. His patriotism is like the kind shown by former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who did everything he could to have a united Germany.

I personally wish Mr President and his Vice a big success in turning Nigeria around.

People like you give me hope in this country.
Meanwhile an old olosho that has been celebrating Baba's demise up and down in my hood, has suddenly vanished since yesterday.
I pray she doesn't eat rat poison because of Baba.
How can Nigerians out of ignorance wish death to a man that's fighting tooth and nail to drag Nigeria out of mud and reposition her, to her rightful position in the committee of Nations?.

oooppp2:
NIGERIA IS ONLY A TICKING TIME BOMB IT WILL SURELY EXPLODE THE APES THAT HAS REFUSED TO COME TO TERMS WITH REALITY WILL SURELY SINK WITH IT. MULTICULTURALISM SIMPLY CANNOT WORK IF EUROPE WITH ALL THEIR CIVILIZATION IS GRADUALLY BREAKING UP THEN COME TO THINK OF NIGERIA WHERE SOME ANIMALS BELIV IT IS THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO LORD OVER OTHERS AND ARE BEEN CHEERED BY THEIR USUAL SLAVE IN THE SOUTH. IT IS NO BRAINER SOON IT WILL BE A QUESTION HOW DO WE DELELOP OUR VARIOUS NEW COUNTRY.............

Usual slave?, your fore fathers are the slaves of the North, you want me to open the can of worms?.

9jakohai:
Good work CBN governor....

Modified...in 2008...Soludo did what Emefiele has been doing.

The only reason why we did not feel it was because

1.The oil price fall of 2008 lasted a short time
2.It never fell below $60
3.We had $47bn in the savings.

Of course...we cannot rely on oil forever. Diversify the export base, and increase manufacturing.

Now that PMB is back...let that be his mantra.

Your head correct, most Nigerians don't even know that the value of Naira is determine by the volume of our reserve.
If our reserve can hit 35 billion USD, I see naira going below 300 to a dollar, if our reserve could hit 40-45 billion dollars, our Naira could exchange at 190- 200 to the dollar.
I am a believer, naira can still go for 50 to dollar in this country, there is nothing like impossibility anything is possible.

Baba Oyoyo.

bid4rich:
You are one of the 85% Nigerian that will rather die than to think. For your information Im a Lagosian and for the fact that you are breathing through your nose doesnt make you a human. Animal breath through the same. If you have brain, think about it.

Let me even ask you, what has he done that nobody has done? built bridges, yes, repair one or two roads, yes! Has he built house on waters or build mansion in the air?

What many gullible people like you dont think is that 'This is your money' If you are opportune to be in the same position as 'governor' so to say would you have done less? Why cant you just sit down and think for some five minute before you spew rubbish. And come to think of it, I can bet it with you, you are underemployed.

Praiser of men

Stop haba, there is nothing bad in people appreciating a performer, I'm sure you are one of those never do wells who go around down playing other people's achievements.

OkoYiboz:
There should be a policy that when Governors in Lagos finish their tenures, they should be sent on mentorship to states in the SS.

Imagine a state like Bayelsa with all its wealth being unable to pay salaries. A state with population less than Ojo local government o!

Na the problem of too much oil money be that.

yashau:
you're a bigot not just a bigot but a tribalism check the source of this news and the writer before you start spew nonsense smh.

DrogoG:
The people who help northern thieves hold power are Yorubas! No matter how northerners use and insult Yorubas, Yorubas will always be their puppets! Yorubas need to wake up from their long slumber. Northerners only need you for your votes. In politics, number matters a lot.

Igbo and Yoruba together can take power from useless northern parasites and change Nigeria for good.

The north have usurped power for so long without any positive thing to show for it. They've raped Nigeria dry front and back. And they're the main reason Nigeria is so f*ucked up today!

They loot billions every day and slaughter fellow Nigerians with impunity! No other ethnic group in Nigeria has done one-hundredth of the damage these evil northerners had caused (and still causing) Nigeria. These people are a huge curse to this country! And we must stop them!

Let us Igbos and Yorubas work together to keep these thieving, barbaric, murderous, northern terrorist monsters out of power. That's the only way to save this country!!

Yorubas must have been keeping the North in power in the last 16 years of feedeefee raping of Nigeria.

murmee:
The North will make sure the Southern UNITY does not happen. The North had been dividing the South since Independence. The Southern Leaders need to strongly work together and forget past suspicions and mistrusts to liberate their people. What Commassie is actually saying is that the Southern votes will not count in the 2019 elections!

Leave North out of your worries, Yoruba will never do politics with Igbo. You think we have forgot how Dr Chris Ngige suddenly became a Yoruba man that must be destroyed because he joined ACN?.
How the ACN crew that came to Anambra were embarrassed by your people?.
Okorocha suddenly became ewu awusa and ewedu brain, stop blaming the North for the division in the South, blame your people for always looking at issues from selfish point of view.

izombie:
Op every where else is calm. Joburg is calm. Maybe police just dey arrange una wey dey do drugs there. For vereeniging, 90% of nigerians there dey sell drugs. Truth be told.

Don't mind them, they think everyone is a liar like them.
You need to watch Jerusalema a South African movie and see how Nigeria was disgraced in that movie.

No be only 24k, na 2k. A kg of gold is about $40, 000 and that's about N18m.
EFCC, keep up the good work. Your collective effort will not be in vain. But why can't our court be mandated conclude every corruption case within 2 months?

It's clearly because EFCC, DSS, etc, do not have faith in our court that they decide to always arrest in a commando-like style and then keep suspects in underground or 2 x 2 jail so that these so-called big men can be humiliated before the courts start their snail's speed procedures.

You dey mind that fellow, he can't differentiate the difference between Gold and clone.

This rubbish is going way out of hhand, am sure they expected to see money but nothing like dat, some onne need to sue efcc for damages

Must u always drag hausa? Can't u stand on your own smh

I drag Hausa? is there a tribe you did not hate in Nigeria? hello you hate Nigerians, you even hate your fellow Igbos or am i missing something? anyway bad belle is allowed.
