Your Biafra noise is the insincere petulance of megalomaniacs upset that they are not in charge of others.
If not why can't Igbos, since you claim you are all super men, not come together to deliver functional ports that can make the SE the Dubai of Africa?
Even the uneducated are beginning to see through the scamming noise of Igbos to note you are a people who never say what you mean and never mean what you say because delusions of grandeur , based on nada, is a big problem for virtually all Igbo folks
Very excellent submission! Igbos are cunning and sly, will never mean what they say or say what they mean! They told us in early 70s that Igbos only want to do business
Oga, think well and stop saying all these. I grew up in Lagos, went to primary, secondary and uni there. A proper oshodi and Mushin boy to the core.
There is nothing like a place feeding a person or feeding a particular ethnic group.
Lagos as a centre of excellence, from onset doesn't belong to any particular tribe. It's true that there were original and first time settlers (which no one can prove it's Yorubas). Because of being Nigeria's capital for a period and attracting various people from all over the nation, it's development was rapid.
It's on record that the so-called Igbos you treat with disdain were the ones who turned Lagos into a hub of commercial activities. It was after Lagos state witnessed heavy economic and population explosion that the Omoluabis started laying claims to lands here and there. BAT entered in 1999 to 2007 and gave them a good leverage and made NURTW workers very powerful and influential, using their urchins to terrorize and intimidate other tribes (though BAT didn't tell them that, he only didn't have a way to control MC's boys, until Fashola came and tried to control them).
I am not partisan, I am only stating the obvious. I know the story of how MC oluomo rose, disarming the then Igbo area boys controlling oshodi parks and markets, took over and established "lion junction", their agbero unit.
I know this because i was there when it all happened. His mother's house is on thesame street as my father's. I played street Soccerr with few of his younger siblings who were my age.
Those days, they hardly harass me because we were on thesame street and played soccer on thesame Ikeja Grammer school and sometimes, bolade grammer school. I myself attended unity senior high school, oshodi.
This short episode will prove to you that I know what I am saying.
Yorubas only become fortunate to occupy Lagos before other tribes because Lagos is closer to all the western states. Obviously, migration and relocation was easier, but the real Lagos and who developed Lagos where the Igbos.
Go and do a thorough research and you will see I am saying the truth. Unless, you just want to argue unnecessarily.
Notwithstanding, you are free to hate any tribe but remember, you are not a tree. You are a human being. One day you will travel out of your region.
Be fair in your judgements and analogy.
I love yorubas, have great friends among them, love Igbos, love the Hausas, love all tribes.....and love my country.
Thanks
I am not partisan, I am only stating the obvious. I know the story of how MC oluomo rose, disarming the then Igbo area boys controlling oshodi parks and markets, took over and established "lion junction", their agbero unit.
Where did Igbo area boys control in Oshodi? There was Ajagbe Bomboy, a very tall and giant Igbo boy, who was among the Area boys back then and maybe other few Igbos not a lot. These Igbos well born and bred in Lagos or in other Yoruba states and they speak Yoruba fluently, and the only reason they were accepted in the midst. When you come to Yorubaland, the garage gossips and conversations are always in Yoruba and I supposed the dominant conversations are in Igbo people. Laying claims to relevancy in Yorubaland is Igbo trait.
Igbos do not build Lagos as you don't represent Yoruba government. Charity begins at home, you cannot claim to have built Lagos when you region is the smallest in Nigeria and still laying in shanties with erosion ravaging everything. Igbos stole from Yorubas because "Igbo Flea Market Scheme" in Yorubaland is an anathema and not a blessing. Igbo started with 5K Igbos as at 1960s and now claimed to have 5 million people in Lagos with no form of ID cards.
Yoruba government can weaken the Igbo tentacles in Yorubaland by introducing the "Flea Market Reduction Act" to reduce the Igbo hare-brained fantasy in Yorubaland and built super stores near most Flea Markets in Lagos.
The Igbo Apprenticeship Scheme only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell (Igboland) where they already have it. Yorubas should discourage Igbo Flea Market in Yorubaland. Uche brings wife and 5 servants and has 12 children in Yorubaland and after 5 years his 5 years, his servants bring wives and 5 servants each. This is how Igbos spread like wild fire in Yorubaland.
Qc1: I honestly still don't know why Igbo people refused to develop their Igbo nation rather than going to another man's land and start dragging the governorhip candidate with them.
I just don't get it.
Igbo man will never rent you a shop in their own village. All of a sudden you're using Yorubas tolerance against them? Are you kidding me? Have you thought about the aftermath of this nonsense you're insinuating? Thank God that all this is online, it's still going to be online in twenty years time as a reference for that's about to come towards your ingrates attitudes.
Just imagine!
PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO FROM SADAUNA OF SOKOTO ABOUT IGBO ATTITUDES IN OTHER MAN'S LAND.

I'm one of those who regretted voting for Obi. I regret it every single day that passes by.
Statements like, 1) Igbos were the ones that voted him in Lagos. 2) we've proved that Lagos is a no man's land. 3) Yorubas are tribalists for voting Tinubu over Obi while Igbos are sensible for giving their own bloc votes.
I've read and heard enough of these stupid talks. There is no room for Shukudis in Lagos State. Whatever point they want to make should be made with Biafra.
GRV is a dead ambition, you can't insult my tribe, insult my pastor, turn your back at your own people because you were trying to impress the Okoros and now all of a sudden you've found your voice. Go to Anambla and contest, Lagos isn't for salesale, it's for yoruba propers.

BECAREFUL OF THE IGBO JIHADIST. THAT IS THEIR WAY ALL OVER THE WORLD.
When a former Editor-in-Chief of The Guardian newspaper penned reasons as to why there must be a limit to Igbo’s participation in the politics of Lagos, his friend and former classmate of Igbo background thought the submission betrayed his exposure, experience and education.” CROSSFIRE, reproduces the requirements as canvassed by Femi Kusa and Pat Utomi.
I am a yoruba and I condemn all forms of electoral malpractice, including ballot box snatching on election day. The Yorubas are an intelligent people with their own fair share of rascals.There are many intelligent and creative ways open to the yorubas to deal with the Igbo question in Lagos or elsewhere.
Chief Obafemi Awolowo dealt with it when Dr Nnamdi Azikwe abused the generousity of the Yorubas and attempted to take over their land as the Dutchmen took over Southern Africa. The Yorubas also dealt with this question intelligently when Biafran soldiers tried to invade the West from Ore, after overrunning Bendel State with the aid of Igbo connections there. At different fora where the Igbo question in Lagos comes up, I always invite the Igbos to remember that the Yorubas have always been their best friends in Nigeria.
The Yoruba leader of the 1950s, HERBERT MACAULAY, founded the NCNC (National Council for Nigerians and the Cameroons). When Macaulay died following an illness during his nationwide campaign for independence, wasn’t it the Yoruba NCNC leadership which invited Dr Nnamdi Azikwe and Igbo, to return home from Ghana and lead their party? And when he held their hand in the soup pot, to bar them from having the meal they prepared, didn’t they peacefully and intelligently show him the way back to the East?
Yorubas were generous and trustful. Dr Azikwe insulted their sensibility, abused their generosity and trust. Why would he, an Igbo, wish to be premier of the West and then install an Igbo, as premier of the East when the Yorubas at that time had more literate people than the Igbos? That was cunning, greed and betrayal of trust to say the least.We were all fighting to send the white man away and, after we had succeeded, you wished to impose local Igbo colonialism on a better educated Yoruba race. Who would have accepted that?
Secondly, I remind my Igbo friends that, after the civil war ,their properties in the North, Port Harcourt, Cross River and Akwa Ibom States, their present political allies, were seized from them as “abandoned” property and handed out to the aborigines.But in the West, Igbo property were all returned with all the rent which accrued to them. Were the Yorubas stupid or merely civilised, honest and friendly or, if you like, God fearing?
OKOTA BALLOT BOX
As I said in the first part, the snatching of ballot boxes after all the warnings by government was unecessary, crude, condemnable and punishable. If the yorubas condemn it elsewhere, they should condemn it also in Okota.
But after the condemnation and necessary punishment under the law, it will not be right for all of us to not get to the bottom of why it happened and the bigger problems which are brewing beneath. The major problem ,in my opinion, is the Igbo penchant to wish to take over another person’s land. I say this with all sense of responsibility.
Recently MOFE OYATOGUN of STAR 101.5FM radio station in Lagos played her EARLY RUSH SHOW, a 1952 audio clip of an interview with Ahmadu Bello, Governor of Northern Nigeria. He said unequivocally that the North would not employ Igbos in its civil service, because if you gave them an inch, you will not know when they would take a mile.That was way back in 1952, about 67 years ago.
Is this not what is still playing out today in South Africa, Benin Republic, Cote d’ivoire, Ghana, Libya and China, to mention a few countries? In the last presidential election, President Mohammadu Buhari probably won landslide victories in Northern states because that Ahmadu Bello radio interview clip went viral in that political landscaper. Peter Obi, an Igbo, was vice presidential running mate to Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, a Fulani from the North-East. It was possible the North still lived in fear of the Igbo man as Ahmadu Bello had taught them to do and as they were reminded in that audio clip replay.
In Yorubaland, we are a society governed by laws. That is why we have ministries of chieftaincy affairs. All the land in Lagos have owners. Lagos was either a colony or a part of Western Nigeria. But because of the generousity of Yorubas and the foresight of their forefathers which made this region the star region in West Africa, the Igbos would like the Yorubaman to believe that LAGOS IS NO MAN’S LAND.
Can anyone say that of Benin without eating his pounded yam as raw yam? Can the Igbos say that of Kano and Jos? The people there know how to make themselves husbands of the mothers of the territorial expansionist. Everywhere on earth, we have seen that territorial expansion ends in chaos.In recent history, we can pin the two world wars to it. What about the war in Liberia between the aborigines and the settled slaves? What about Rwanda? What about Hitler’s war on the Jews? What about the liberation wars in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique
Why did general Idi Amin of Uganda chase away the Asians? Why did Bangladesh separate from India, Eritrea from Ethiopia and Senegal from SeneGambia? What about the communual clashes over land in Nigeria? Recently, almost 100 Fulanis were killed in Kaduna.We cannot forget the Zango-Kataf problem.
So, we should be careful when you come to settle on my land and say you must represent me in the Nigerian Senate or the House of Representatives, or the Lagos State House of Assembly, taking away from me my aboriginal right to have my kith, kindred and blood represent me, while back home you are being represented in the senate and House of Reps, when you insist on becoming a commisioner in my state or a deputy governor, or a local government chairman when you try to govern me in my own land as Dr Nnamdi Azikwe once tried to do, all because I was generous to let you become in my land what you couldn’t become in your land, simply because you believe you have the numbers, I will tell you that is greed and unnatural irrespective of the backing of the law you may think you have.
Think, for example, about an Igbo becoming the chairman of Lagos island local government and arrogating to himself the right under the laws of Nigeria and of Lagos State to issue instructions to the Oba of Lagos about how the kabiyesi should conduct himself and govern his people. What will this breed?
That is what has been happening in countries from where the Igbos are being sent back home.It happened once in the North as Ahmadu Bello said in 1952. And seriously speaking, I believe this is why the North rejected Atiku Abubakar.
The Igbos should reflect on this…Why does everyone tend to (hate ) us?
JIMI AGBAJE/AFENIFERE
The Igbos should be wary of JIMI AGBAJE and AFENIFERE.They are politicians who are looking for ethnic heads to break coconuts on.
The Igbos are hardworking and resourceful and should try to overcome ethnic politics as the Yorubas have done. They should learn from immigrants from other lands worldwide. The Indians do not trouble their hosts or try to take over their lands. They make their money quietly and take it back home to develop their own land. That is why India has been able to lift herself from poverty. In contrast, the Igbos do not develop their own lands. All they do is largely to make money from abroad through whichever or whatever means and buy up property which other people have built and then claim they own the land without remembering that they can never hold aboriginal rights to the land in their hands whenever the chips come down.
Meanwhile, their land back home is languid, crying and shouting for investment and development and they begin to talk about marginalisation. Did they not flower and fruit under Obasanjo and Jonathan’s administrations? What happened to Igbo land in those 16 years that they were not marginalised? What happened to Yoruba land in those 16 years that the Yorubas were marginalised that Yoruba land still continued to be a honey pot for the Igbo?
I would go anyday with Chief Emeka Anyaoku who looks at the world with universal spectacles.
Succeeding Lagos governments have beautifully held the ethnic balance in Lagos and prevented ethnic disturbances. Igbos should stop saying they own Lagos or that they built Lagos or that Lagos is a “no man’s land”. Only a bastard Yorubaman will not feel affronted by such statements. And in spiritual terms, the man or woman who cannot defend his land is not fit to live. Wasn’t this the failure of the sons of the Incas?
It is good news that the leaders of the Igbos and other nationalities in Nigeria have met with the traditional leaders of the Yorubas in Okota and Oshodi areas to avert a backlash in respect of last election. As I said earlier, Agbaje and Afenifere are outside the mainstream of Yoruba politics. They are trying to take control of it. And they have the right to so aspire, being Yorubas.
What is objectionable to the mainstream Yoruba is their attempt to knock the heads of the Igbo against the head of the mainstream yorubas. They remind the yorubas of a similar affront by Afonja, the Yoruba army commander in Ilorin who was sent there by the Alaafin of Oyo to stop jihadist expansion. Afonja betrayed the Alaafin and invited the jihadists to defend his betrayal. They did and Afonja triumphed momentarily only to be killed afterwards by the jihadists who took over the land.
The perception in Yorubaland today is that the Igbo in Lagos especially are the modern jihadists and that Agbaje and Afenifere are the modern Afonjas. This is the underlying perception which, in my opinion, triggered the surface reaction in Okota last Saturday. The Yorubas remain an accomodating people. But they never fail to rise in their defence when they have to, as they did in the 1950s in respect of Dr Azikwe’s blatant attempt to usurp their land and as they also did at Ore during the civil war.
Kusa, a former Editor-in-Chief of The Guardian Newspaper, writes from Lagos
Since I was born till date, we Nigerians have always looked down on a lot of neighboring countries like Cameroon, Togo, Benin Republic etc. Well, you are not to be blamed if you are among those who look down on some of these countries, even when we have not had an opportunity to cross border.
Well I was one of those people who actually looked down on most of these countries until I had an opportunity to sail round west Africa and the narratives changed.
Meanwhile I was completely marvelled the first time I visited Cotonou, the business hub of Benin Republic about 4 years ago when Patrice Talon newly took office Two years after I re-visited, after touring round other west African countries. I spent 3 days here and without a waste of time, I concluded to relocate down to this place based on the level of development I saw, the security, serenity etc.
Finally I am now living here and I have no regret so far.
I will say this country is blessed with the best president who is working tirelessly to improve the living conditions of his beloved citizens and I am glad hearing citizens saying positive things about the president.
Things You Don't Know About Benin Republic...

Very lucrative * Nigerian foods are in high demand especially areas where Nigerians live more. U go sell tire * Sales of sewing machines(more of manual)and it's accessories are in high demand cos this is their major skill work with hairdressing. * Phone and laptop repairs needs serious attention here cos most of the engineers are not competent enough * Sales of motor parts/bike parts.

Those who are into okirika(2nd clothes, shoes & bags), it's still very profitable till date but you must have a good contact for you not to be cheated. Etc
Let me drop my pen here for now. I will be sharing some photos of the places I have been to like the beaches etc . So stay tuned as we will be dropping more information to give you a comprehensive info about the country generally.
Asgard13: When you tell them a vote for Obi is a vote for Tinubu.. they curse and abuse
When you tell them .. Atiku is the closest to anything igbo President they mock and sing the Yoruba song .. north cannot handover to north..
Forgetting a Muslim is about handing over to a Muslim.. what’s the difference?
You tell Obi will come third and can’t win elections ., emotion rises and they will scream..
Now tell me .. when Igbos will be coming this close .. again or even Christian’s
Their calculations were so wrong .. you tell them to control narratives.. and not allow southwest media do that for southerners .. but no.. they believe in what’s impossible
Nigeria politics is all about alignments and interest.
See how Obasanjo out of his bitter hatred and selfish interest has craftily taken igbos back in national politics.. same easterners that were almost close to power .. Yoruba media taunt them and abuse them of serving out PDP for years without reward .. now I asked .. where’s their reward ? Obasanjo will disappear back into the hood and still a national hero… and former president.. his kinsman is the President, his place is assured .. so nothing
East must learn to play the national politics and not politics of sentiments and emotions .. which most times .. southwest always take advantage of this naivety to claim political Sophisticators.. leading southern narratives..that always appear real.. but hidden behind an agenda that favors and work for them.
If Obi has remained in PDP.. or aligned with Pdp towards the later days of campaign.. nobody would have been going to court
If Obi has avoided church politics and focus more on national politics.. Muslims won’t have been emboldened like they will be in the next four years
For the fact that he’s going to court on his own.. even when offer a hand of alignment.. shows most of them are still to learn .. the reality of the process..
Wetin we know
We’re all in court .. just being hopeful.
But the sad reality remains fact.. Asiwaju is the President of Nigeria … Obidients in particular made him President.. not Apc or Muslims
Creamypie: In as much as i voted obi and l.p, this one na Over sabi wanna be woman. Very froward. Na you know pass. She's wants to be more popular. Na her pattern right from her undergraduate days for those of us who know her from early to mid 2000s.Always choosing from a host of situations, the ones that will give her more attention and popularity. I knew she would write, as if u.s/u.k no dey aware say elections aren't transparent in Nigeria. We no see am for the herdsmen killings, boko killings, eastern killings, kidnappings and beheadings, naira crisis and scarcity, igboho house siege and the killings, cos those ones can't bring popularity like this
AlexBells: This terrorism started a long time ago in the Northern cities, I learnt that in 1955, there was Igbo Massacre in the North and I ask, what did everyone else do then.
Only if they rose up when we were being killed for nothing, there is maths to the madness up North. We got to study the trail and we got to be ready, this is no time for baseless emotions.
AlaIgbo needs to be prepared with all intelligence, technology and great body of people. How do you appeal to terrorists except in the language they understand, you can't ask them to stop killing you that's what they are out to do.
My heart goes out to Southern Kaduna but my tears are quite dry, honestly, we in Igboland have had our own version of Massacre, bloodletting and onslaught as we still have today.
It had almost become eventual that it will only take a miracle for something really inhumane not to happen, however we keep studying these events, and hopefully with the knowledge, experience and the rest we got from the civil war, we might be able to navigate through this difficult times.
Rest in peace to all that had paid the ultimate price, we need to stand our ground and restore sanity, we are not all Nigerians here and everyone should face their regional challenges, while there are blood in every corners of Nigeria they all does not have same solution and we trying to fight through this as unit will only cause more chaos.
Everyone should stand up to their challenges, if however there is away we can help ourselves, we should be open but this is war on all front and it is so blurry we don't know the enemy.
success1smyn: 1. You are from a particular tribe, you vote for your tribesman to be President, you want every other person to vote for him, but anyone from another tribe that does same is tribalist - your brain is paining you.
2. Anytime your preferred candidate win, it's free and fair, but anytime another one does, it's rigged - I don't know what to call you.
3. You think the votes from your region ONLY can make your candidate win Nigeria's Presidential Election, as a result you are burning bridges and the result came out you are crying, you need deliverance.
But seriously Peter Obi and his party tried. They exceeded my expectation. Oga come back next time. After all you didn't tell us how you will make this country better, all you do is dish out statistics, tell lies and also tell us how you wear 1 shirt for days etc. No wonder the nicknamed you Him Too Lie.
majekobaje1: A Yoruba man is winning, another Yoruba man is writing letter of protest. O ma se o, he just want to leave a record of it is only me and no one else.
He fought Fela. He did not like Awolowo His Tafa Balogun was the only Police thief. His Sunday Afolabi and Bode George were the only corrupt Ministers. His Bola Ige was killed with no investigation, Abiola was not the Messiah. He fought Tinubu while he was Governor of Lagos and ceased Lagos allocation throughout the 8 years of his Presidency. Alani Akinrinade also was not an exception. He is fighting Bola Tinubu again. Let us ask him, kilode?
benuejosh: To all nairalanders who insulted me, i forgive you all because you were all fools.
I have countless of times criticized Ortom on this platform and i never hid the fact that he was a looser and someone who was just deceiving those who were not in Benue that truly there was fulani herdsmen killings whereas he was the one instigating the crisis and killing the locals. Ortom went into the bush, packed all the cows belonging to the herders and took them to his farm. When the herders came for attack, they killed the locals thinking they were the ones who stole their cows. Ortom will take advantage of that and tell the whole world that fulani are killing his people whereas he was the one causing the problem. We knew this truth in Benue and waited patiently for him.
I also said it on this platform that for Ortom to associate with Obi, it will be the main reason why Obi will fail.
Benue was the first state to adopt AC/ACN in the whole of North Central. A true Benue man has always associated with the Yoruba man while also having a good and perfect relationship with the true Fulani man. Go and verify! A real Fulani man respect a Tiv man more than his brother. Go and verify! Why was Ortom causing this division? Until Ortom came to power, a Fulani man and a Tiv man were always good friends. And not for once were they fighting. Ortom brought this fight and division. Causing the death of thousands of Benue people. We will NEVER forget.
Ortom in his past eight years of Governor NEVER commissioned any project that will bring development in the state. Not a single project. He shouted fulani herdsmen for 8 years. He became the Personal Assistant to Wike instead of concentrating on bringing development to the state. Ortom set Benue back.
If Ortom built a road, it was because he bought a piece of land along the road. Go and verify! I am not saying what I don’t know. We NEVER like Ortom!
Today i stand tall and happy that Ortom failed in his bid to become a senator and also failed in delivering Obi in the state. Benue people are exposed and enlightened.
A gentle reminder. Benue has always been an APC state that was governed by PDP. Ortom won his election on the platform of the APC before jumping ship back to PDP. He should have known better that a payback was waiting for him. We don’t take nonsense in Benue.
1. Peter Obi wins "Tinubu's" Lagos. But you are still saying INEC is rigging for Tinubu just so that when Tinubu wins Katsina, you will say it was rigged.
Oh wait. Atiku won Katsina, Buhari's State.
So really how many persons do you want to accuse INEC of rigging for? Why not accept where your candidate lose?
2. So Obi can win Lagos, it is not rigging. But Amoda Ogunlere cannot win Osun that you said he is from, it is rigging.
Oh wait. Tinubu did not even win Osun. Atiku did. So what are you saying please? You thought Obi will win Osun??
3. Obi went to Kano and went straight to Sabon Gari where you have Igbos and minority Christians.
That is the divisive campaign Obi ran yet you will shout rigging if Tinubu wins Kano.
Oh wait. It is Kwankwaso that is winning Kano despite being an enemy of the sitting APC Governor!
Again, what are you saying
4. In the South East where Obi is from, Obi is winning by 90%
In the South West where Tinubu is from, Obi has won Lagos, Atiku took Osun. But when Tinubu takes Ekiti, it is rigging.
What is wrong with you guys?
5. Obi is winning in Edo State. If you add PDP and APC votes and times it by 2, Obi is still winning. This is a State where there is a PDP Governor and a Former APC National Chairman.
But it is rigging anywhere Obi is not winning. How can a people be this bigoted?
6. I have read, on WhatsApp, people saying they will poison food and give to Northerners for not voting Obi.
I have read people here saying they will never give a Northern beggar any money for not voting Obi.
Meanwhile Obi is clearing the South South and South East and Northerners are not threatening anyone. And you will call them uncivilized?
7. An unknown Labour party candidate for House of Rep, defeated the APC and PDP to win Etin-Osa Fed. Constituency in Lagos.
The APC guy was Obanikoro's son. The PDP guy was Banky W the musician. Both floored by a Labour party candidate people didn't know.
But the election was rigged is coming from the mouth of Labour party supporters.
8. Another unknown Labour party candidate defeated the APC and PDP in the major Senatorial Election in Edo.
The gap was almost 200%. If you add the PDP and APC votes together, the unknown Labour candidate still beat them with over 50k votes and these were not small candidates. They are the two most influential people in Benin!
But Labour Party supporters are still shouting rigging, failed election. Does this make sense
9. Obi is heading to 500,000 votes in Enugu. Whereas Tinubu has less than 5,000 votes in the whole Enugu.
This is not rigged, but wherever Tinubu wins is rigged.
10. Atiku's VP is the GOVERNOR of Delta State.
In Delta State, Obi has won 11 out of the 16 Local Government Areas annoinced so far.
But his supporters are still shouting the election is rigged. Is that not madness?
NB: If you cause the war you are using to bully everyone we will all suffer it. Pat Utomi that is encouraging you will carry his oyinbo face and seek asylum somewhere in America or Europe where he will collect cool breeze and return after your demise to claim hero of democracy. Use sense. Eseoghene Faruq
Politics is a game of interest so you guys should take the chill pill.
The support you gave Jonathan was because he favoured you.
Yorubas would have supported him if he gave them the strategic appointments he gave to the Igbos and, some Igbo people also did not support Jonathan and joined the opposition to defeat him..
Wike has the right to support whomever he chose. When he contested for PDP primaries Anambra delegates voted 100% for Atiku over him and he never complained. When he lost, Igbos even on Nairaland here were the most excited.
Obi would have voted Atiku over Wike if he was a PDP delegate.
Igbos lost some of the goodwill they would have enjoyed when they spent years insulting, disparaging, demonising, demeaning, claiming, forcing identity, fabricating the history of other tribes as well as their heroes past and present. These stupid and idiotic conducts do not easily go away.
We have serious work to do in the South West.. going forward, no outsider will hold any influence in Lagos and her politics again.
Awon ati oko wa bale je.. they won't face their unproductive region but would be fighting over other people's rights. They should all go back to their villages.
Even PMB has said it that he'll go back to Daura in Katsina after his tenure, not staying put in Abuja
lazkizz: A man established a zoo and made the entrance fee 300$ but no one went there. He reduced it to 200$ but still no one came. He then reduced the fee to 10$ but still people didn't come. Finally, he made it FREE entrance and soon, the zoo was filled with people. Then he quietly locked the gate of the zoo, set the lions free and made the exit fee 500$ and everyone paid! Lesson: As you go about in life, beware of cheap or free offers, they can be terrible. No business is free!
This Guy was seen on Facebook giving commands to his Rottweiler in his local dialect(Yoruba) and the dog was clearly understanding and obeying each and every one of it swiftly.
This is a good one and I think dog trainers and handlers in Nigeria should replicate same.
The girl bleeped Piddy and also bleeped his son. What a friend of the family indeed. The guy better screwed her and move the Bleep on because it won’t last long. You cannot turn a hoe to an house wife.
Don’t be deceived into fighting someone’s personal battles disguised as an ethnic battle.
They didn’t consider you a good enough *Omo Yoruba,* when they were doling juicy positions to their family and friends.
We are only good enough to help them fight their personal battles.
Being an *Omoluabi* doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use our heads (brains).

But tecno in the top 10 is not a suprise because that company is really trying. The problem with china is, they manufacture the best and use in their country, then manufacture sub-standard to export thereby giving them bad name. Take OPPO for example.
Chinese people are trying but cannot match white man in innovations. Now change the China China China China to USA USA USA USA. In TV, a USA company named RCA (Radio Cooperation of America) transferred the intellectual properties to China Hisense .
Refrigerator, it is on the records that Amana refrigerator inc (USA) firstly transferred technology to Chinese. Also Haier (Chinese) is a copycat of GE refrigerator, from compressor to thermostat, all are the same and you can buy parts for GE refrigerator to retrofit Haier.
Laptop and mobile phone.
IBM USA sold intellectual rights to China to produce laptop by selling the IBM think-pad patents
Motorola sold the razor patents to Chinese so that they can get in the phone business. USA wins at the end of the day. .
