I had actually been waiting for dis. Trust some family members to try to cash out using dis opportunity. I trust dem to give d woman hell

They will show the woman Pepper. She probably doesn't trust them hence her voicing out. They might end up not giving her anything out of the settlement sef. The family fit no even send the deceased while he was alive.

pacespot:
So the guy whose country gowon took the money to is now lying right, let the British government refute his claim first. Investigations ought to have started on gowon immediately this guy made the statement, but trust Nigerian government to do nothing unless we protest it.

It's better to reserve judgement until a thorough investigation proves his accusation than to just come out and outrightly say you agree with him. That means you will believe anything he says just because it's coming from him, even though he has no single proof to back it up. You are just reinforcing your longheld bias.

People will believe whatever they want to believe, as long as it reinforces their biases, irrespective of how true it is.

felixzo1:
he is not a Nigerian politician, I believe he has his facts before making his statement,corruption did not start in Nigeria today ,politicians have become more aggressive with their stealing.

You believe without proof?? Guy, you are only reinforcing your bias.

ikorodureporta:
y d discrimination against males above 35yrs??

Don't mind them. They will soon change that policy when they find out (like in previous efforts of this kind), that many 'youths' are not interested in these sorts of programs and therefore won't bother applying. It should he open to all interested parties irrespective of age if it will be effective.

Politicians only speak for or against zoning depending on how it favours/not favour them. Before GEJ ran for his second term, the Northerners kept harping on 'honouring zoning' agreement in order to favour the North's bid, while the Southerners tried to argue that there was no zoning, in order to justify Jonathan's ambition.

Na this guy kill Akintola.

bolaayenimo:
Forget it, if APC gives the ticket to South East, all of them will join APC sharp sharp

You might be right. Which means that their hatred for Buhari and APC is just political, nothing ideological or principled about it.

Lol. It will be interesting to witness how the anti-Buhari/APC ipob warriors switch loyalties from PDP over the perceived bright prospects of an igbo clinching the APC ticket.

Ok.

Toyota Corolla must be one of the most stolen cars in Nigeria. I guess because of its second hand value and Taxify/Uber drivers prefer it over others.

And when the university graduates the students, hope you would have enough jobs for waiting for them, because there are more graduates than jobs right now.

Smh. Imagine praying to God that he should rig election in Trump's favour?

That's what happens when you give your pastor 'daddy' the permission to replace your brain with sawdust. Most religious people in Nigeria are brainwashed and can't think for themselves.

Don't be surprised if most of those in the congregation don't even know who Trump and Biden are.

Psalmy2cute:
You did not go through my post.. because if you did.. you would have known my tribe by now.. why are you guys so obsessed with igbos??

You are just another igbo-denying lowlife from the Delta. Atleast the Op no shame to declare his ethnicity. Nobody will beat you if you acknowledge your Igbo roots.

Psalmy2cute:
Lol.. you see.. the igbo phobia is starting to kick in.. anyone who criticize the yoruba is igbo.. but when the Its the other way around.. it's a welcome here on nairaland.. you see them saying potopoto region Igbo people.. their region is so under developed that why they keep coming to lagos.. but when they tell you the truth it is called bigotry.... OGA go rest.. you claim the igbos brag alot when they say igbo amaka.. but in truth yorubas brag more and their bragging always start and end in lagos. A state even small Bayelsa is bigger than.. what happened to ogun, Osun, ondo, oyo. Ekiti.. are they off the map??

SE = potopoto
SW = brown roof

I have gone through your post history and confirmed without a doubt that you are indeed igbo from Delta, therefore you are only acting true to type.

Psalmy2cute:
You see your stupid comment Tell me who is above criticism?? Its ok to do it to the igbos and call the Niger deltans a fool.. but the people from the sw are so sophisticated .. more like sophisticatedly stupid ...And yes.. selling land for $120 is simply stupidity.. people like you never learn... you hate it when they tell you the truth.... I will say it as I see it.. I've personally brought and igbo guy and 2 yoruba guys from lagos to get land in abeokuta.. because its stupidly cheap...

What you wrote isn't criticism but outright bigotry. But I don't blame you one bit. You are merely telling Yorubas to be weary of outsiders like you. My gut tells me you are igbo because they are the ones known to exhibit your level of bigotry anywhere you find them. I hope Yorubas are reading this and drawing insights from your comment.

Psalmy2cute:
I'm currently in the southwest though from the ss.. and I can confirm to you that... sw is very much over hyped here on nairaland.. they want to make you believe sw is the most developed region in Nigeria but I doubt if you exclude lagos.. if sw can really compare to SE in term of infrastructure and human resources... here in abeokuta the men have two major jobs.. taxi driving and civil servant.. I think FMC is the biggest employer here.. beggars and fraudster loitering in every corner ready to dupe you if you cant speak yoruba.. honestly I dont think any region has the right to make a joke of other regions in Nigeria... the sw is still a majority brown roof region.. they have lands and fertile soil good climate but are very lazy.. all they want is a white collar job.. they keep selling land unnecessarily thinking they have abundance of it.. here in abeokuta you can still get a plot of land for 50k

Wow. Did you actually just say this about your hosts?? They are selling land 'unnecessarily' you say? If Yorubas act on this comment and begin to treat your likes with hostility, you will be the first to castigate them for being bigoted. That you can actually come here to speak ill of yorubas that host you in Abeokuta, and sell land to you without qualms tells a lot about your kind of person. You are definitely an enemy in their midst. Yorubas are indeed in deep trouble with your kind. Why are you pained by the occupational preferences of Abeokuta folks? Were you expecting Abeokuta taxi drivers to be from Enugu? Would you have preferred if they all chose to be traders or farmers? Why are we human beings like this? This is so sad. If you loathe your yoruba hosts so much, abeg what stops you from relocating to the SE or SS where they have better infrastructure and don't sell land unnecessarily?? This writeup shows Yorubas are indeed living with enemies in their midst. Smh.

NigerDeltaIgbos:
Lol, stop decieving yourself my bro. Last time I checked, only Lagos airport is viable in the entire SW region. Osun and some other states attempted to build some airports but abandoned the idea.

Ogun state you're talking about is living off Lagos State, which still supports my earlier assertion. Those firms you claim Ogun attracted was because Lagos is filled up and they decided to site their plants in the suburbs which happens to be within Ogun state. Same Ogun you're talking about has very terrible roads in Sango/Ota axis and other parts of the state.

Lol, you claim that SW states has gone beyond the provision of infrastructure to other higher areas and I wonder if you're not making this ridiculous claims because of Lagos. What infrastructure is on ground in other SW cities/towns that will make you say this? If your governors have gone beyond provision of roads, flyovers and other basic infrastructure then I ask you, are your governors now building nuclear plants, tunnels or high-speed railways?

Funny people

See, I knew it was only a matter of time before you revealed your real motivation for opening this thread, which is simply to denigrate the SW as is your modus operandi. If you feel the SW is not developing, that's your ffvcking business. But ironically that hasn't stopped igbos from moving to the region in droves in search of economic sustenance. You lots just can't celebrate your strides and wins without dragging others down while you're at it.

As for your obsession and tears over Lagos, well, you will just have to learn to deal with it because Lagos is and will always be a part of the Yoruba-owned/controlled territory that is the SW. Yorubas don't need igbo permission to celebrate Lagos and its developmental strides. We will always take pride in Lagos. Heck, if we don't, who else will?? Is it the Lagos-hating igbos? Guy, you go wail tire because Yorubas will never stop hyping Lagos because na their land, na dem get am. If you are ashamed to hype your own shithole that's your problem.

MosheDayan:
so going by his name he is Igbo? How are we sure you are not the owner of the two accounts.

If he deliberately addresses himself as igbo via his moniker then I have no other reason to see him any differently.

Redcrafton:
Nope the OP is right.

When people show pictures of Anambra state, Enugu and even the "sh*thole Aba, and Kaduna...even Warri, you guys will try to counter them with the pictures of Lagos. May be you haven't been observant or you are a newbie in this platform.

No, neither you nor the Op are right. Every state grows at its pace and have different priorities. Some states have passed the level other states are currently at. E.g, while Ebonyi and Rivers mat be prioritizing building of flyovers, the current Ogun government may choose instead to focus on employment generation, human capital development, road maintenance, and agricultural development programs, which is a different focus compared to the previous Ogun state administration of Amosun that built 15 flyovers and bridges across the state and attracted over 300 new businesses and industries.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-west/232483-why-my-administration-is-focused-on-building-bridges-flyovers-amosun.html

But it is obvious that many of you guys here have jaundiced concept of development which is limited to only flyovers and road maintenance. Development is beyond building flyovers. And some states that are just building their own flyovers, bridges, and airports are merely playing catch-up compared to others that already have them.

So those of you making noise about flyovers should mechionu because other states have long passed that stage of development.

Op, why your obsession with SW states? Going by your moniker it is obvious that you are igbo, so why not leave SW people to concern themselves with that. A Yoruba person won't come here to ask this about igbo/SE states. But we sabi your kind. Na rofo-rofo fight you dey find.

Development is going on in different degrees all over the country (both private and government-initiated), but it is not every state government that has agents and propagandists on Nairaland in search of cheap 'likes'. If you really care about development going on in the SW states it is actually not difficult to find out about that online or you can go to those states yourself, but your motive is not genuine because even on this same Nairaland there are occasional news reports of development from that corridor. E.g, Ondo state government handlers post a lot of projects from there.

He will probably be picked up by the authorities before the protest sees the light of day. His followers that have enough liver can continue the protest in his absence. At least this time around it is Abuja they are targeting, since that's the only place they can get Buhari's attention. Enough with the farce of protesting against government/destabilizing in other states. Anyone that wants to get Buhari's attention should head to Abuja/Aso Rock.

No wahala, as long as they stage their protests in Abuja the seat of power. You can't claim to be protesting against Buhari and destabilizing other states while he can't feel it all the way in Aso Rock.

Trumpism is built on conspiracy theories, from QAnon, to 'deep state', and what have you. That's why it's difficult or almost impossible to reason with a Trump follower, because they are prone to believing all manner of crazy stuff.

Lol. APC had better reject Ikpeazu if they have any sense. I am sure even PDP would be glad to get rid of that monumental failure of a governor. APUGA can have him.

If truly there exist some 'smoking gun' evidence to prove Trump's fraud accusations, it would have been released into the public by now. Trump needs to face his job as president till January 20th and quit making a fool of himself and his office.

Trump, Biafrans need you to help restore Biafra before your tenure elapses in January. This persecution is two much.

Kai. What a mumu man.

Ah. So what will now become of Peteru Obi's VP ambition

Gamesmart:
Dele Momodu's full name is Ayòbámidélé Àbáyòmí Ojútelégàn Àjàní Momodu.

He has a BA in Yoruba from OAU and was born in Ife.

Yet he is saying he is from Edo State?

There are indigenous Yorubas in Edo state. They are known as the Akoko Edos. They share same cultural and linguistic affinity with their kin (the Akoko) in Ondo state.

Igbo people should stop stressing Wike and Ikwerres over this 'igbo or not-igbo' issue. You can't force a person to be who and what he refuses to identify with. Make una rest.

Kenplay:
why do people keep making the same false assumptions that the South-East is pro-PDP, this is not true, infact the south-south is the geo-political zone that has always been PDP.

check this:
River State--PDP since 1999
Delta State--PDP since 1999
Akwa-Ibom--PDP since 1999
Bayelsa state PDP since 1999
Cross-river state PDP since 1999
Exception of Edo state that had PDP from 1999-2008, currently PDP again since 2020

Now check the the South-East and see the difference
ABIA state-- PDP>PPA>APGA>PDP
Anambra State-- from PDP-APGA
IMO state-- PDP>PPA>AGPA>APC
Enugu state & Ebonyi have always been PDP

Now with the above analysis, can people stop making this false assumption of South-East being pro PDP region

When it comes to presidential elections, SE is unabashedly pro-PDP, since '99.
