The kids seem to fancy grandpa more than grandma... Congrats Arakunrin; like you for speaking out than others.

Please which one will be your recommendation between Civil 07 (American spec) and Avensis 07 (Factory LHD), both used by same family in 9ja, auto trans and still very sound.

Also minister for justice and attorney general of the federation, who is one the main cabals, is advocating for creation of an Agency for herdsmen.

Wishing the political class continued fight. The masses want to watch their fisticuffs this time around not just noise pollution. Headsman Bala vs Ortom, Akeredolu, Lawan vs Southern Governors; Okorocha vs Hope, Ararume, Ikpeazu vs Smart, Bello, Lai vs AbdulRahman, Obaseki, vs Oshiomole and so on and so forth...

Unfortunately, the poor countrymen will come and dominate this space with their unnecessary quarrels supporting their oppressors, who will reconcile in a jiffy.

Hello,

I am in the same boat as you, however, i recieved email for cancelled appointment. Yet, when i checked my board i still see that my appointment is active for March.

The options available is "cancel appointment", "reschedule appointment", "emergency appointment".

I am thinking i will just still go to the embassy on that day. Have anyone had this experience?

Don't know maybe one can call or mail them?

Please, I need help for a cousin. Her appointment was scheduled for April since mid January only to receive a text message that the appointment has been rescheduled, that she should check her email. Checked email, nothing; Checked board, instead of April date, it's now 'appointment has not been scheduled'. What to do next please?

They died because of useless criminal bandits the North always negotiates with. Whereas criminals are jailed in the South.

The last I checked, people are not hungry in Benin republic, Ghana, etc. Let the food perish in the north and let create more farming opportunities in the south. After all the boundaries are opened now.

Some parts of ekiti are very close to ijesa thus they speak ijesa. Example is that of okemesi ekiti and imesi ile in osun state. History has it that they were one town before. One is now in ekiti and the other one in ijesa, osun state.

There is little line separating Ekiti and Ijesas. I hardly see the difference between Ogotun, Igbara-Odo in Ekiti; Igbara-Oke, Owena in Ondo and Ìkejì-Ile, Ikeji-Arakeki and Ipetu in Osun.

Ekitis (including Akure) and Ijesas are just like one people in dialect compared with Akokos where one town would have two or more dialects. Oyos, Ibolos and maybe Onkos are another very close dialects.

seunmsg:
Do you know Ekiti more than me?

I’m from Okemesi Ekiti and you’re here arguing with me about my dialect. E be things for this Nairaland o.

Okemesi-Ekiti are not Ijesas but only influenced by ìjèsà dialect. They are not the only one, even communities in Ekiti west and Ekiti South west. The same thing happened to Moba and Ekiti Kwara being influenced by Igbomina dialect. Same happened to Omuo, Irun, Akure being influenced by Okun, Akoko, Ondo and Owo dialects respectively...

Before Buhari became President there were states in the north that he kept winning back to back, back to back for over 15years till he became president do u know what it means for u not to have anything to offer yet but people kept supporting u back to back until u became president. Do u know how much the followership has grown after he became president?

Only reason Buhari didn't become president all d while was he had no support of any southern state. If those years he was winning those states if only a region like the SW supported him, he would have been president long ago

That's my point! Amaechi is not Buhari! No home based support like Buhari or Tinubu.

jumper524:
I'm sure things can change should he win the party's ticket.
many APC members worked against oshiomole in Edo.
oshiomole too over do there.
he took the people of Edo and APC as piece of shit by bringing ize iyamu.
I'm sure even buhari was disappointed by oshiomole.
can't really speak of the bayelsa case though.
now pending on who gets the PDP tickets,
if Atiku I suspect should get, I'm sure the south won't be too foolish to support atiku against their son irrespective of party difference.
neither would the north give full support to atiku like they previously did..

I've been watching Amaechi for a long time, he seems not to know how to play politics since Wike and co left him. Tinubu can count on thousands of political office holders in his zone but Amaechi can't. Has he closed rank with other big APC Politicians from the zone? No. You see Akpabio, Silva, Oshiomole, etc. are still the big APC guys in that zone. Some of them are also having ambitions. It will be easy for outsiders to penetrate and get their supports if the SS APC members are not uniting behind Amaechi. There's nothing Buhari alone can do.

Coldie:
In politics all those things don't matter, especially when Buhari himself appoints Amaechi his successor, d kind of power Tinubu has over Lagos is similar to the kind of power Buhari has over the north.

Buhari has an occult followership in the north. Buhari is so powerful that even if there's no apc state in the south as a whole if he appoints Amaechi successor the whole north will support him

Read what you wrote again! Buhari as a cult hero didn't win under CPC until he joined forces with another cult hero, Tinubu. These two are dominant in their bases but you can't say the same about Amaechi. He lost his state and region. He can't even hold his party, APC together in his state. Buhari as candidate is different from Amaechi as candidate, my brother.

jumper524:
PDP gave to north east(atiku) with Just 1 state taraba against the likes of saraki and David mark of North Central that has more states..

Did atiku win NE or the election. Amaechi's not doing everything to get Balyesa and Edo for APC already shot himself in the leg. He was busy sitting on the fence or working against APC during Edo election.

jumper524:
Amaechi is there.
should he get the PDP tickets, the circumstances is most likely going to change.

See, it's a practical stuff, SS can only get PDP's not APC; it's so unfortunate for Amaechi's or Jonathan's ambition. SW has 5 APC controlled states, SE has 2 and SS none. Nothing will change, no reasonable party will give it's candidature to where it has no base.

The Northerners believe they can say and do anything they like, to them, they own Nigeria. It's a great anomaly that 9 out of 11 members of the national security council are from the North; they can't even seat because of shame and their ineptitude. The entire finance, financial regulatory, generating agencies, financial enforcement, etc. are controlled by them...Min. of finance, NPA, Custom, NNPC, Amcon, FIRS, NDIC, Efcc, etc.

Tinubu has a good chance. Osinbajo also and if someone from SE can also do his homework well. However, I don't see a SS person emerging as APC candidate; the six states in the SS are being controlled by PDP.

It's going to be difficult for someone from South South to be APC candidate. The six States are being controlled by PDP.

These are realities; we can no longer run away from them whether we like it or not.

greymiles:
Aboki please na, let afonjaz win the election

Don't stress yourself, Aboki is given his birthright to Ipob; let the celebration and 'chest beating' begin!

BastardWike:
My Yoruba brothers always claim to be accommodating and sophisticated, but their actions often runs contrary to such claims, well we all know that talk is cheap.
The killing of Hausas and destruction of their properties in parts of the SW is not only barbaric but also unjust and uncalled for!

The story goes that a Hausa cart pusher had verbal arguments with a Yoruba woman stall owner because he trashed the front of her store with rotten tomatoes. She asked him to clean the dirth but the Hausa man refused only for another yoruba man to get into a fight with him. During the ensuing melee, he knocked out the Yoruba man who unfortunately died later.

Now, let's put sentiments aside, that Hausa man could have been a Yoruba man who unintentionally messed up the front store of that Yoruba woman. Now, the question is, would Yorubas have gone on rampage if it was done by their own brother?

Why go all out to start killing and burning markets and goods of a particular tribe because of the mistake of one man?

Did the Hausa community send that man or was he their representative?

We all have a common enemy in the Fulanis who are killing, maiming, kidnapping, raping and destroying properties all over Southern Nigeria and they are about to be successfully isolated because Hausas too are their victims in the North. Now, these attacks on Hausas in the SW have united the Hausas and Fulanis, and the latter would be happy because they are now changing the narrative that all Northerners are being attacked unjustly in the South and they would now have enough numbers to counter the onslaught.

Only if you can explain to us why you Igbos went on rampage when Hausaman stabbed your brother in Onitsha or when Akaluka was beheaded by them?

Omoluabi1stborn:
E don get to uyo too

It's everywhere. It's disheartening that some southerners will only ridicule other groups when the same is befalling them.

Tranquillity360:
Remove other tribe for this matter.


We are talking about how you yorubas are killing innocent hausa.
Let see how a yoruba man will be president in 2023.



za mu gani,mugaye

Mola, 1million Yoruba presidents are not up to 1 Yoruba man's life being taken. What were our benefits with Obasanjo's presidency?

You kill in bushes and in town you killed a pregnant woman and a man without provocation, you're talking about presidency? You can eat your presidency and rule yourselves forever. We'll also choose our own leaders.

You're simply looking for war and division and that's what you will get...

Start your war with the South west, you'll receive the shocking of your lives; if you think you have single support anywhere in the country, you're deceiving yourselves. Moreover, Boko Haram and Bandits are waiting in the corner to take over the north once the country fulani army engage the South. The southern people in the military will wake up from their captivities and there will be Independence for southern nations and willing middle belt.

The earlier we reform the country the better.

Kriss216:
If you must dine with the devil, carry long spoon.

Late Musa Yaradua is the nicest and only sensible Fulani man in history. There's no good Fulani man in Southern Nigeria.

Always be careful when you're around any Fulani man, to kill is like a game to them. Protect yourself!

There is claim that Yar'adua family not fulani but Tuareg.

peacenow:
To everyone pulling the strings of drums of war be very, very careful
Buhari needs to learn. Libya oppression was way less to what is happening in Nigeria now until Gadaffi found himself on the street being dragged on the floor like a rag. Killed like a bush meat.
My advice for northerners is to call Buhari to respect experience of Libya and call for dialogue instead of making inciting statements that will cause outbreak of war.
No one has monopoly of Stupidity. When the whole country goes stupid like the Northern leaders are right now. Everyone will see. #Endsars will be tip of an iceberg. I am not a prophet but a seer.

If AK-47 can penetrate our borders from the north and we have bodies of international water in the south. The North should not underestimate the South East or South West on war. I don't want war in Nigeria as a Nigerian.

Set up an independent pannels and Call for dialouges and let every affected person come with evidence and address issues.
Pay farmers for their losses and herdsmen for their losses and come up with a lasting solution to move the country forward. Please and please stop all these nonsense.

Visit Liberia, Visit Libya, Visit Syria and see what war has caused. Many African Nations are hostile, they will not take you in. Be warned. We should not start what we can't finish.

Let them start war with the South, they'll receive the shocking of their lives; they have no single support anywhere in the country. Moreover, Boko Haram and Bandits are waiting in the corner to take over the north once the country fulani army engage the South. The southern people in the military will wake up from their captivities and there will be Independence for southern nations and willing middle belt.

The earlier we reform the country the better.

Ahamefuna0001:
U want us to start a war against you when Fulani is already choking your neck? U get sense at all?

Call your people at home, fulanis are doing the worst there. You're only concern about what's going on in the SW (mocking them) because you care less about your place; they don't born anyone well to enter farm again in your area... call them at lokpata, usochi, isikwuato... be beating chest online and making noise like empty can.

Ahamefuna0001:
How big is UK, France, Portugal etc. who colonised more than halve of the world? Lagos with more than 30 million people is still not full take more of Eastern states which are bigger than Lagos. Alaigbo will successfully host the entire Igbos in the world and there'll still be space for a 100 million more population. If landmass is synonymous to development, then Sudan, Borno, Oyo, Niger would've been better than Israel, Switzerland, Holland etc.


U and that nonentity called Gbagura should mobilize your fellow jobless Afonjas and go attack any Igbo business or community in Yoruba land and watch how we put you in your place.

Online warrior, big mouth no action..no one chased you after June 12 but fear alone made you run away. Who gets your time, we know your type.

ahiboilandgas:
So u are killing hausa cos of 1994 riots in kano ....how about the people that killed Sir Ahamdu bello and belawa in 1966 ....? U are a bigger hypocrite....by u anology

Don't know I'm engaging Jeki..with lowest understanding.

By biased Garba Shehu.

ahiboilandgas:
so u are killing hausa people cos of buhari in actions .....how is the fault of the hausa tomatos seller been killed in Shasha ....if he a member of the police that refused to arrest killer herdmen or Nass memeber that refuse to impeach buhari.....what is his fault for been killed ....selling carrot and pepper to yoruba people and sending small Change home ...

The last the SW will do is to kill Hausa or fulani because of Buhari. An Hausa man killed a pregnant woman and a Yoruba man and others prevented justice only to start burning Yorubas things because cunning Fulanis already instigated them. So you expected Yorubas to continue being killed in their own land by Fulanis in the bush and Hausa in the town.

I was young in Kano in 1994 when a fight between Hausa man and igboman in bata caused two weeks killings and destruction of properties, coupled with the earlier beheading of Igboman Akaluka in police cell. You're hypocrite if you think you can take half of shit Yorubas are taking from everyone.
