[quote author=Softmirror post=131938287]You mean the people of Lagos State that voted Peter Obi?! [/quote

99% of Peter Obi's vote in Lagos was from non Yorubas in Lagos.

The Awalokan mantra failed so fast. Wetin happen?

Hunger is real in Tinubuland😀😀

Yoruba Nation call for secession of Yorubaland from Nigeria

helinues:
Try and be stable Mr unstable.

Trolling shouldn't be made a profession or?

A sucker and a loser.....you are

If Tinubu resigns who would replace him? Shettima? Yorubas are quite senseless. You have to live with this until 2027.

Yoruba Union Calls For Tinubu’s Resignation, Solicits Support For ‘Fearless In October’ Protests Over Hardship, Fuel Price Hike


Yoruba Union, Igbinmọ Majekobaje Ilẹ-Yoruba, has called on President Bola Tinubu to resign following the recent increase in fuel prices and the escalating hunger affecting the southwest region and Nigeria at large.




The union expressed deep concern about his administration’s economic policies have forced people into poverty, turning many into beggars.



It condemned the implementation of IMF policies in collaboration with imperialist forces, which they claim has stifled both small and large-scale businesses, to the detriment of the Yoruba people.




In a statement released on Sunday by the Convener, Olusola Oluwaseyi Badero, the union condemned the government for allowing the fuel pump price to rise from ₦600 to ₦900, at a time when many Nigerians cannot afford two basic meals a day.



He explained that the Yoruba, known for their culture of Omoluabi (honour and integrity), have been reduced to begging due to President Tinubu's anti-people policies.



“We are not only calling for Tinubu's resignation, but we also demand an apology to the Yoruba people for tarnishing their reputation. Our people have been kidnapped and killed by invaders, while they are now unable to farm or secure their livelihoods,” Badero stated.



He said, “Despite the suffering of his people, Tinubu has shown no remorse. Instead, he continues to increase their hardships through higher taxes and draconian policies.”



Badero recalled that during his campaign in Ogun State, Tinubu promised to reduce the fuel price. However, shortly after his inauguration, he raised the price without consulting the people.



He said, "Tinubu has run out of ideas and should resign honorably. Nigeria is not a family business where he can raise prices at will. Our people are struggling to send their children to school, and with a bag of rice now costing ₦80,000, many families cannot even afford basic meals. Most southwestern states have not even implemented the new minimum wage."



The organisation declared that it would not sit idly and watch Yoruba people suffer, even if a fellow Yoruba man holds the presidency.



It said, “We are known as Omoluabi—a people of honour. We will not tolerate anyone who dishonours the Yoruba nation by subjecting our people to modern-day slavery.



“Tinubu asks for patience, yet he has purchased a new presidential jet for ₦150 billion, luxury yacht, bulletproof Escalades, and a mansion for the Vice President—all in one year. Meanwhile, he raised the fuel price and enacted policies that further impoverish the people."



The union also called on all Yoruba people across Nigeria to join the October protests and legally express their dissatisfaction with Tinubu's administration.



“We must not allow Tinubu’s government to intimidate us. Protesting is our constitutional right and cannot be taken away,” it said.



Badero added that the Tinubu administration has failed the people, and the Yoruba Union is ready to protect the interests of the Yoruba, who have been oppressed by the current government.



In the wake of the recently concluded #EndBadGovernanceinNigeria protests, which swept across the nation from August 1 to 10, 2024, organisers are gearing up for another round of demonstrations slated for October called ‘Fearless in October’ protests.



This forthcoming wave of protests aims to sustain the momentum generated by the previous movement, further amplifying the voices of Nigerians demanding meaningful change.



Damilare Adenola, Director of Mobilisation for the Take It Back Movement, a key force behind the protests, has corroborated plans for the October demonstrations.



According to Adenola, the upcoming protests will build upon the successes and lessons gleaned from the August protests, seeking to intensify pressure on the government to address the country's pressing challenges and usher in an era of responsible governance.

Your post in unclear? Who are you blaming here?

Kdon2:
Don't mind the werey, they concoct propaganda all because their messiah lost presidential election. Awon werey just want to see Nigeria to burn☹️

Too many blind awalokans here today.

flokii:
You lots are the wicked hypocrites..

Go back to your States of Origin and hold your leaders accountable.. Stop constituting nuisance all over South West, making useless videos online to mock Yoruba people.
Y'all are only wasting your time.

The Stupid IP0B woman is busy mocking elderly Yoruba women whereas elderly Igbo women are there in Abia, Anambra, Enugu and likes passing through hell.

Stop being stupid and fvcking mind your business.

Are you the only tribe in Nigeria?.. Hausas, Nupes, Itsekiris, Igalas, Ijaws, Ikwerres etc. are there, they don't go about mocking people like you Igbos do.
This is madness affecting you people if you don't know.. a big psychiatric problem you lots now see as normal.
That is how you people go about inviting hate and trouble for yourselves, then you open your dirty mouths to call other people tribalists. Are you not tribalists yourselves??

You must be irredeemably dumb. The difference between you and the lady is that while both mothers are suffering, she is going after the person making her mother to suffer, while you, being the zombified slave that you are, are supporting the person that turned your mother into a desperate poverty stricken destitute. You are a sucker and a loser.

Nomercie:
50℅ of students in that school are Ifeanyi,shinbuzor,shindiamaka,Kanu,nwabueze and Obi

After Tinubu's regime we will revisit this topic and see how Tinubu's state fared under his presidency

CodeTemplar:
During OBJ's time, whenever he was visiting his hometown, the schools around always welcomed him and that involves innocent students lining the street to create a beautiful scene. That extra input from the locals didn't help matters still.
Katsina was highly favoured by Buhari and it is on record he was stoned at the end of his tenure there. He was stoned in Kano too, though not his home state, Kano is the biggest metropolis in the north.
GEJ couldn't fix the road connecting his hometown to main part of Bayelsa state and it took successive admin to do that despite the level of income that was available to his govt at state and federal level.

Are you an awalokan? If not did you learn anything from this post?

Here is something for those of you who believe that when your brother is the president you will be okay. No you won't be.

See presidents, president wannabes, regional premiers, or VPs from Ogun State:

Na South put us for this trouble. I mean South East and South West. They brought Tinubu out of the millions of people the Southern Nigeria

Buhari no too try, but a dead Buhari is better than this thing we call President.

Wetin concern South East for this mata?

Northern NG gave Buhari to NG. South(West) Nigeria gave Tinubu to NG.Who did better between the North and South(West)? 😀😀😀

The Muslim-Muslim marriage between the South-West and the North is over.
During Buhari's 8 years, the South-West was one of his strong pillars. They did not protest against him, despite his extremely poor management of the economy and fiscal policies. Today, the North is violently protesting against Tinubu for his own uber extremely poor presidency.
The North Betrayed the South-West by the magnitude of protest against Tinubu going on in the North as we speak. And Tinubu does not have the South-East and South-South support.
Tinubu will be a political orphan in 2027. Emilokan and Awalokan are dead.

We don chop statistics finish

Make we chop 0,3 Mathematics. Na wa o

Hahaha

Poisonousman:
Oga 1 truck cannot carry 1200 bags of rice... your maths is not correct.. I'm a rice dealer...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBEVOlkPD3Q?si=W2x0w_9siEy4cWif

Kobojunkie:
This math only works if you believe that 20 trucks of rice were sent out to each state, to begin with. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Yeah! For now lets pretend the news is true. We know Tinubu is an "armed roba".😀😀😀

Poisonousman:
Oga 1 truck cannot carry 1200 bags of rice... your maths is not correct.. I'm a rice dealer...

That was what the Minister of Information said on TV. It is 25Kg, not 50kg bags.

Kobojunkie:
This math only works if you believe that 20 trucks of rice were sent out to each state, to begin with. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Lol. Tinubu does not work with statistics

As copied from Facebook

Tinubu has given 20 trucks of rice to each Nigerian State.

I have just done the math in this political rice donation:

1 truck of rice = 1200 bags of rice
(according to the minister of information)

20 trucks of rice = 24,000 bags of rice

1 bag of rice = 25Kg (according to the minister)

24,000 bags of rice is = 600,000kg of rice

I bag (25kg) of rice = 128 milk cups or 32 dericas of rice

600,000 kg rice = 3,072000 cups of rice.

Now, Kano State (allegedly the most populous state in NG) population = 16,253,5494 (2023)

Poverty rate of Kano is roughly 11 million people.

With 11 million poor people, each poor person in Kano will get about 0.3 cup (about one third of a cup = less than 1 cup) of rice.

Bayelsa State (allegedly the least populated state) population is 2,950,725 (2023).

Poverty rate in Bayelsa is 2.6 million people.

Each poor person in Bayelsa will get about 1 cup of rice.

Yeah! After eating your 0.3 cup of rice in Kano or 1 cup of rice in Bayelsa, you go to bed and sleep until 2027.

Hahaha! I will definitely make a better president than Tinubu.😀😀😀😀

As copied from Facebook

I helped an Awalokan with his green card application.

In June 2024 I received an email message from someone from Nigeria. He is a professor in one of the universities in Nigeria and hails from Ekiti State; a Yoruba. I will call him John here, to protect his privacy. In his email, John requested for my assistance with a letter to support his US Green Card (GC) application. I asked John how he knew me, and he said from reading my work. Okay! I get that response a lot from people who reach out to me; I too, am proud of my achievements in the field. 😃😃

For those who might not know, the US has a specific GC category called EB2-National Interest Waiver (NIW). NIW is offered to highly qualified scientists having a minimum of PhD who have something to offer the US. Simply put, if you have advanced knowledge that is of National Interest (NI) to the US, then certain aspects of the general green card requirement can be waived (W) for you towards obtaining the GC. NIW is typically afforded to foreign scientists who are already working in the US on visa, although it cannot be ruled out for scientists who apply from outside the country. To apply for NIW, you need to submit a load of paperwork to demonstrate the quality of your scientific achievements. Among the documents to submit include letters (the more letters you submit, the better for you; in my time I submitted 10) from other scientists who know about your work and who are not your father, mother, sibling, cousins, uncles, aunties or any other type of relative. Simply put, the letter writers must not know you except on a professional basis. I did not know John before he contacted me. But he knew me. He claimed to have cited my papers in his own work and that is enough to establish a professional connection. I googled his work and found out that he was being truthful. Box checked.

Now, the 2023 election and how it played out with respect to crude tribalism and sectional hatred for other Nigerians (in this case towards Igbos) by Tinubu supporters from Yorubaland (aka Awalokans) is no longer breaking news. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to relish any opportunity provided by the suffering and disappointment of Tinubu supporters due to his lack of performance and his penchant for being insensitive towards the citizens, including Yorubas. With that in mind, I searched for John’s name on Facebook and went through his profile down to the election campaign period. During the search, I discovered that John was a rabid Tinubu supporter and had made nasty comments about Igbos and how they cannot be allowed to be president, even though Obi maintained consistently that he was not an Igbo candidate. At that point I was very furious and decided against providing a letter for John. He could not vote for a bad and corrupt president and now wants to japa out of Nigeria. He should stay back and eat his own vomit. Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind, until the better part of me took over. Long story short, I wrote a support letter for John and got my American Associate to also write one for him. I am not as selfish, mean and wicked as some other Nigerians would be. Whether John is eventually granted the NIW by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is another story. It is tough getting it from outside the US, especially if you are applying from certain countries with questionable quality of ADVANCED research. Sadly, Nigeria is one such country. John studied abroad; so, he appears better than the average Nigeria-based researcher.

Now, I challenge anyone from Tinubu’s tribalism infested camp to prove that they can help anyone who is not in their camp in such a deep way as I did (yes, anything to assist a Nigerian to japa, especially at this high level, is deep). Una no fit; the milk of human kindness no dey for una blood.

😃😃
See below the letter I wrote for John (I removed real names and other identifying information)
============================================================================
June 20, 2024
Dear USCIS Adjudicator,
Subject: Letter in Support of Professor John Bleep’s Application for US Permanent Residency
I write this reference letter to provide my support for the application by Dr. John Bleep for the United States permanent residency under the EB-1A National Interest Waiver category. Before highlighting the scientific achievements of Dr. Bleep, it is germane that I spotlight my credentials in relation to this letter. A US citizen, I am the Chief Scientist and Head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry at ABCD. Prior, I was a Senior Development Scientist at the International Fertilizer Development Center, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and a Research Assistant Professor at Utah State University, Logan. At ABCD, I am responsible for the management, research direction, business development (grantsmanship), and oversight of a group of highly talented researchers and analysts working in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology implications and applications, and on food and environmental safety regulatory activities for the State. My research more generally concerns the impact of naturally occurring and man-made chemicals on crop performance, food quality and safety, and the role of soil chemistry in these processes. The major focus has been on nanomaterials as agrochemicals. I am an authority in this area, having published over 130 research articles with a H-Factor of 49 and nearly 13,000 citations as of June 2024, according to Google Scholar. I obtained my PhD in natural sciences from the University of Jena Germany, under the auspices of the International Max Planck Research School for Chemical Ecology.
For full disclosure, I have never worked with Dr. Bleep. However, as we work in the same general scientific domain, I am aware of his research and have become impressed with his work. As you know, there are pressing challenges currently facing global agriculture and food security. Dr Bleep’s research is crucial in this context as it focuses on sustainable soil management practices to remediate and enhance the productivity and health of agricultural soils. One of Dr Bleep’s original scholarly contributions is the development of nature-based solutions for remediating the contamination of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in agricultural soils. The innovative work, through thermal pyrolysis of agricultural wastes into biochar and use as a soil amendment, is particularly noteworthy. In these studies, Dr. Bleep successfully demonstrated the potentials of orange peel- and cocoa pod -derived biochar at low thermal pyrolysis to reduce cadmium (Cd) mobility in soils, which in turn improved the nutrient content of food crops. This innovative approach not only stabilizes contaminants but also contributes to soil health by adding carbon and nutrients, highlighting the ecological and sustainable benefits of his research, which will especially benefit the US agricultural sector. An output from this work can be found at (website address)
Dr. Bleep's research has extended to the application of nanotechnology in agriculture. In this regard, he has conducted comprehensive studies on the impact of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in plants, particularly focusing on their potential to reduce the uptake and toxicity of PTEs in food crops. His work with copper (Cu) nanoparticles on cowpea plants, for example, provided valuable insights into the environmental behavior and impacts of ENMs, offering a foundation for future research in this emerging field. His study involving the use of K-edge XANE technique to unravel nanoparticle-crop interactions contributes strongly to prior studies by providing novel insights into the toxicity mechanisms of nano-Cu in plants. The findings from this study were published in 2019 in a reputable Elsevier journal (website address) and has garnered over 20 citations. In a nutshell, the study revealed crucial details on the biotransformation of Cu within plant tissues, contributing to our understanding of nanoparticle-induced phytotoxicity and its mitigation. His nano research is instrumental in developing strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of nanomaterials in agriculture, ensuring food safety and security. The significance of this research to farmers, especially cowpea farmers in the US, is that it emphasizes the adoption and effective management of nano-Cu-based pesticides in the field.
Furthermore, Dr. Bleep has made other landmark contributions in nanotechnology for sustainable crop protection and food production through the innovative use of nanoparticles as foliar ameliorant for cadmium toxicity in crop plants. For instance, in a work published in 2020 (website address), the foliar application of nano titanium dioxide bolstered the antioxidant defense mechanism; reduced the Cd-induced oxidative stress; and enhanced the levels of essential micronutrients. Due to the significance of the findings to the scientific community, the research has garnered over 80 citations since its publication. This study has profound implications for the US, given the significant challenge to agricultural productivity and food safety posed by soil degradation and contamination in the country. His future research endeavours in the US, which would continue to be aimed at improving soil health and addressing the contamination of agricultural lands, align with national priorities such as those outlined by the EPA and USDA, especially with the Closer to Zero Initiative involving eliminating Cd, lead, and other toxic elements in human food. His work will undoubtedly complement ongoing efforts in the country to promote nutrition security, food safety, and sustainable agriculture.
In summary, Dr. Bleep is a highly accomplished researcher whose work has made substantial contribution to the fields of phytonanoremediation and nano-enabled agriculture. With a H-Index of 21, his body of work, represented in 64 published articles, has been cited 1550 times, based on Google Scholar record as of June 2024 (website address). His interdisciplinary approach combining plant ecology, chemistry, and nanotechnology, positions him as a leader in developing solutions to some of the most critical issues facing global food security and environmental health, issues that are no less pertinent for the US. Thus, I have no doubt that Dr. Bleep will continue to excel and make significant advancements in his field in the US, if granted the NIW. Please feel free to contact me for any questions you may have concerning this letter.
Yours sincerely,
