OPEN LETTER to all Nigerian Muslims:

Do you know that,
In the Southeast, there has
never been any
- Igbo Muslim Governor *NEVER
- Igbo Muslim deputy Governor
*NEVER
- Igbo Muslim Speaker of house

- Igbo Muslim Deputy Speaker
*NEVER
- Igbo Muslim Attorney General

- Igbo Muslim Commissioner
*NEVER
- Igbo Muslim Local government chairman *NEVER since 1999 when democracy started till today.

Yet we Igbos are the ones championing all kinds of hate and propaganda against Muslim/Muslim ticket of Tinubu/Shettima but in our own
region, we only vote Christian/Christian ticket, even when there are Igbo Muslims among us. We hate and ostracize them completely. Then you have the guts to say nobody should vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket?


Even Kaduna that is a core Muslim state has had Christian Governor and Christian deputy governor before since 1999, and Christians holding several major political posts across the North. Nigerian Muslims wake up now and vote for Tinubu /Shettima for presidency 2023. Don't let Muslim haters blackmail you with lies. Defend your religion. Being a Muslim is not a crime.

Sincerely,
Igbo Christian man from Nnewi,
Anambra!
Competence should even be the main criterion for election into office in any democracy not religion which is a private affair.
That's the wayit has always been in Nigeria until the IBB military era.

How CAN Introduced Religious Variable into Nigeria's Political Equation

How did we get here?
By Simeon Kolawole_

Before the late 1980s, religion was not a defining factor in national politics. Alhaji Shehu Shagari, elected president in 1979, was a Fulani Muslim surrounded by Christians. His No 2, Dr Alex Ekwueme, was an Igbo Christian. The No 3 was Dr Joseph Wayas, a Christian from today’s Cross River state who was senate president. The No 4 was Chief Edwin Ume Ezeoke, a Christian from today’s Anambra state who was Speaker. All the service chiefs were Christians: Lt Gen Alani Akinrinade (army chief, later defence chief); Lt Gen Sanda Jallo (Army Chief); Vice Admiral Akin Aduwo (Naval Chief); and AVM John Yisa-Doko (Air Chief). The Inspector General of Police was Mr Sunday Adewusi.

In fact, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the presidential candidate of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) in 1979, fielded a Christian-Christian, Southerner-Southerner ticket: Chief Philip Umeadi, from today’s Anambra state, was his running mate. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, candidate of the Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP), also did a Christian-Christian ticket, pairing with Dr Ishaya Audu from Kaduna state.

Although Shagari’s Muslim-Christian pairing won the election with 5.6 million votes, the Christian-Christian tickets of Awolowo and Azikiwe did not do badly, netting 4.9 million and 2.8 million respectively. Awo and Zik got a total of 7.7 million votes. That was the Nigeria I grew up in as a primary school kid.

Military governments were not sold to the religious thing either. When Gen Yakubu Gowon, a Northern Christian, was Head of State, Vice Admiral Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey, the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, was his second-in-comman. The Vice-Chairman of the Federal Executive Council was Awolowo, the Minister of Finance. Effectively, Gowon’s military and civilian deputies were both Christians. Religion was of no consequence.

Maj-Gen Muhammadu Buhari and Brigadier (later Maj-Gen) Babatunde Idiagbon — both Fulanis, both Muslims, both Northerners — were No 1 and No 2 in 1983-85 and I can’t remember any objections. That was what Nigeria used to be.


Something definitely went wrong thereafter as religious crises erupted under Gen Ibrahim Babangida. When Bashorun MKO Abiola, a Yoruba Muslim, wanted to pick his deputy for the June 12, 1993 presidential election, we had lost our innocence. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) warned him not to nominate a Muslim, otherwise Christians would not vote for him. They gave him a list of Northern Christians to pick from: Dr Chris Abashiya, Dr Ishaya Audu, Mr Bala Takaya and Mr Paschal Bafyau. These were no political heavy hitters. Abiola achieved the North-South balance by picking Amb Babagana Kingibe, albeit a Northern Muslim. They won nine of the 16 northern states.

The cold calculations in Tinubu’s camp, I should guess, were in favour of a Muslim running mate. And I suppose that these might be their essential assumptions. One, a Muslim-Muslim ticket should not be a problem for the Muslim North where the bulk of the votes are. It should be a major counter-offer to an Atiku presidency since the president and vice-president would be Muslims. Two, it should also not be a problem for the South-West, apart from the cosmopolitan Lagos. Tinubu is the homeboy and religion is not yet a major political factor, although CAN and Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) are working overtime, along with fifth columnists, to poison Yorubaland with bitter bigotry.

Three, their calculation may be that those most likely to be vocally opposed to a Muslim-Muslim ticket are voters and commentators from the South-South, South-Eest and Christian North who do not vote for APC on a normal day. Even if Tinubu were a pastor, APC would still be a no-no for many voters in these constituencies.

PoliticsRe: Tinubu and Shettima Meet NANS On ASUU Strike, To Meet ASUU by AlphaTaikun:
Throwback:
When Tinubu took over the government of Lagos State at the end of May 1999, Lagos State public school teachers were on strike and had refused to resume for 3rd term for that academic year by April under the Marwa regime.

Tinubu did his magic and by end of June 1999, the teachers resumed and I personally resumed 3rd term just 2 weeks to when my siblings at FG Unity Colleges were to return home for their end of session summer holiday.

Tinubu is an administrative wizard. He is an action politician who is ready to deliver unlike those who are just receiving training in Egypt.

My support for Tinubu stems from personal experiences of his actions as Governor that affected me positively and my knowledge of his many initiatives that I didn't even benefit from but was available to others.

I am a Christian and I will vote a Muslim - Muslim ticket that has a Tinubu as the principal.
Just like the iconic 1979 to 1983 UPN Lagos State Muslim-Muslim Guber victory of Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Rafiu Jafojo.

The UPN went on to become a phenomenal success story under the government of Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the Governor of Lagos State.

Nigeria was very tolerant back in the day. Not today that some ethnic and religious bigots exist but they will all fail. Tolerance, competence and results are key points to focus on!

SamOchuko:
Oga where the source of your report? Tinubu is not the only candidate in the race, you guys should go ahead and vote for whomever you believe will deliver for you, what is it with this Muslim Muslim candidate? Why is it giving you guys such sleepless nights?
@SamOchuko, thanks for your objective feedback here.

Did you know there was a Muslim-Muslim UPN Guber electoral win in Lagos State in 1979 to 1983 under Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Rafiu Jafojo? One of the
NL Mods posted on NL in 2016 that he is related to the late iconic Lagos State Deputy Governor and Lagos indigene Rafiu
Jafojo. Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, endorsed both men by raising their hands in 1979. What some of the very ignorant and emotionally weak Ibo online posters such as the OP
who insult and call Yorubas b*stards (yaribanza is the asinine term only Ibos use on their various sick propaganda websites) and insult Yorubas Muslims who have the SECOND largest Muslim population after the Hausas and ahead of the Kanuris of the
North-East of Nigeria do not realise is that Islam has existed in
Yorubaland for over 500 years in the Oyo Empire and it came from
Mali into Yorubaland via international trade not through any jihad! This is the reason why
Yorubas used to call Islam "esin imale" meaning in
Yoruba language, "the religion of Mali." In fact there were many
Muslim Yoruba military commanders and generals (such as
Balogun Oderinlo) in the Ibadan army in the 1800s who defeated the invading jihadists on several battle fronts thereby defending the whole of Yorubaland up to Eko from conquest, just like the Kanuris who have had Islam for 1000 years did by losing and winning battles to ward off the Fulah jihadists.


Majority of the Yoruba indigenes of Lagos State, i.e., the Aworis (in 17 LGAs) and the Ijebus (in Ibeju-Lekki, Ikorodu, and Epe LGAs) are mainly Muslims [right up to Aworilands and Ijebulands stretching across the Lagos State border into Ogun State] with some having close relatives of other religious faiths living peacefully.

I'm not a Muslim, but these facts are true and I must commend you
Niger Delta folks and other ethnicities on NL for not stiring up hate speech and ethnic hatred here on NL like the bitter Ibo male elements do here who always act like victims but infact are the first to incite hate speech. I've been on NL for 17 years now since 2005 and
I can say the only major time that
ND folks such as the Ijaws were upset was during the 2014 to 2015 election cycle when GEJ lost, but after that they let things slide.

There is a popular 1960s video were
Ahmadu Bello bluntly accused the
Ibos (a white man interviewed him) of wanting to dominate his
Northern people. Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye was an indigene of Bonny Island (who rejected Ojukwu's illegal biafra in favour of the newly created Old Rivers State) and regarded as the father of Ijaw nation also in a candid 1998 Guardian interview done in PH also accused the 1960s Ibo political and military wing of wanting to dominate Nigerians, while trying to rival the Yorubas who were far ahead of them in every position. I still have the scanned 1998 article in my Google Drive!

The young Ibos of today mostly haven't learned lessons from the mistake of their older 1960s folks based on the hate speeches and inciting fake article posts like the one on this insidious thread.


All the best.

States such as California, Colorado, and Washington have a high Vietnamese immigrant population, and as such they have brought their culture and delicious cuisine with them. Best Pho I’ve had was in Denver, Colorado, in fact they have an entire street (Federal Blvd) lined with Vietnamese restaurants where you can food hop/crawl. Here are a few pics of my favs!
Great @Mstravelindiva,

I love your awesome feedback on those Vietnamese cuisine locations in Colorado and more.

Do let us have some snipets of your visits to Singapore and Malaysia in the NL travel section. I'm certain the thread on Singapore would make front page because of the mystique that Singapore exhudes as a developed city-state from a former fishing settlement in the 1800s.

Back in the early 2000s, I grabbed a copy of the book, "From Third World To First" by Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, and the book gave me massive insights about the cultures, ethnic traditions, and the developmental failures and successes of a modern state.

Enjoy your day in AZ. smiley

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu travels multiple times every year to the United States of America and yet these simpletons keep recycling these false allegations that he is a drug baron. If he ever was, the U.S. would have gotten him arrested long ago and thrown into jail. He regularly interacts with members of the U.S. Government.


It is time to stop this repeated defamation of Tinubu's image near every election cycle by a section of Nigeria who are ethnic bigots! There is a digital trail or records of the fake news they and their paid trolls have been posting online despite being corrected time and time again!


It is NOW time to launch a MAJOR sting operation to arrest all the idiots posting all these fake NEWS wherever they are in the world. They should NOT be forgiving until they get to jail. It is Tinubu's and his grown up children's inability to get these people arrested that has led to people thinking that they can defame this man with IMPUNITY and it has had a DEVASTATING EFFECT on his image but it is NOT too late to correct it. This is the Social Media age and bad news travels fast. Silence is no MORE the best answer for a fool! Tinubu and his Tinubu's Media Team need to know that.

IP addresses and other advanced methods will be used to fish these kids and simpletons out for punishment in the courts of law.

Below is Asiwaju Tinubu's private plane that he got over 16 years that he uses to regularly fly to the United States.


Even the Japanese Parliament has passed into law major punishments for those who engage in online insults and harrassment which have led to the death of a prominent Japanese TV star in 2020. It is time for Nigeria to do the same thing like Japan, this time, with a little more harsher punishment. There is a precedent in Japan for Nigeria to copy because Nigerian cyberspace has become so toxic for many folks with fake news flying around. No country should EVER allow this kind of thing which can lead to a major Civil War. The BBC even did a report in the online and offline "fake news industry" in Nigeria and the need to ALWAYS FACT-CHECK.

The "6-Degrees of Separation" is indeed real... grin
Although the latest is that it's now known as "4-Degrees of SEPARATION."


Alhaji Lateef Jakande and my father related on the professional and business levels too [Jakande's biological father and mother are originally from Omu Aran in Kwara State but migrated to live in Lagos Island, where Lateef Jakande was born and the folks loved him even though his parents weren't originally from Lagos, but a Yoruba town in Kwara].

I was responding to a post by someone on NL who said why didn't Asiwaju Tinubu use a so-called Muslim-Muslim ticket in Lagos and I pointed him to the fact that Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Alhaji Rafiu Jafojo were both Muslims and they won the Lagos State Guber elections in 1979 and were in office till 1983. I'm NOT a Muslim but even that 1979 Lagos Guber Jakande and Jafojo joint ticket, and the M.K.O Abiola and Kingibe 1993 joint tickets were NOT problematic issues to me and many folks back then.

I remember the legendary Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, the leader of the UPN raising their hands to endorse both of them back in 1979 and 1983.

I however blame Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, his grown up children, and his Media Team for NOT being pro-active to get those liars arrested: such as Olabode George, that wannabe investigative journalist called David Hundeyin, 'Femi Aribisala, and the groups of Ibo trolls online [on NL, FB, Twitter, WhatsApp] who have been spoiling and defaming Asiwaju Tinubu since as far back as 2014 that I can remember. It is NOT too late to get them to answer charges in the court of law for defamation of character just like Tinubu did in 2015 by suing AIT and DAAR for billions of Naira. We are in the age of Social Media and bad news spreads fast. Silence is NOT the best answer for a fool in theses times.

Certain Websites and news publications have been identified, and the people and ethnicities who are behind these fake stories are well-known. Tinubu MUST NOT forgive them LIKE HE FORGAVE Raymond Dokpesi and AIT due to the out-of-court-settlement AIT and DAAR reached with Tinubu because they had realised that they were guilty of spreading fake information on live TV. I'm REALLY pissed off with the slow response of Tinubu. It is time to make landfall like a vicious HURRICANE and get these people punished for seriously damaging the Tinubu family name. If Tinubu is really a drug baron like these idiots have been posting all over the Internet, Festus Keyamo would have long called out Tinubu and Tinubu would NOT have been able to visit the U.S. every year in his PRIVATE JET because the U.S. law enforcement agents would have arrested him!

Eyya... This saddens me more than his senseless assassination.

He's calm and has contributed immensely to the growth of his country. My only problem with Abe was how he appeared to worship the USA at every turn - forgetting and forgiving the Hiroshima nuclear gift they received from America, but sees China they once muscled as an enemy; at every war memorial, Chinese government always asked the Japanese to apologize for what they did to them.

It's embarrassing for a political leader to be assassinated and it's even more embarrassing that it happened in a developed nation like Japan.

Rest on, Abe.
@Caseless, you're right. His calmness has a commanding presence. I wish Shinzo and Akie Abe had at least two kids to keep his legacy alive since he comes from a political family.

Just like Shinzo Abe, many Japanese have moved on from the horrendous events of the December 7, 1941 U.S. Pearl Habor bombings in Hawaii by Japan, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki where those U.S. nukes exploded in 1945.


Lack of forgiveness leads to negative energy on a long-term basis and the Japanese clearly realise this.

In a documentary I watched over 20 years ago (in the 1990s), one of the U.S. pilots (crew member) who flew one of the planes that carried a nuke on board went back to Japan to pay his respects.

Your absolutely right about Japan and China! For instance, the Nanking Province in China invasion by Japan forces was very brutal with mass rapes, just like the Russian (Soviet Union) Red Army engaged in brutal mass rapes on entering Berlin, Germany. Sincere apologies on all sides would heal all wounds. War has negative effects, but then countries have to be on guard to defend themselves after negotiations may have failed.

I remember that the legendary Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, of the UPN raised their hands to endorse both of them.

Ambrose Ali was then the UPN Governor of Bendel State (now Edo and Delta States).


The ACN also fielded Nuhu Ribadu and 'Fola Adeola (the ex-boss of GTB), in the Presidential race in 2011, and there was no uproar.Both men are Muslims.

No where in the Nigerian laws and constitution states that the President must be a Muslim and the Vice President an Xtian and vice-versa. That would be illegal in a country like Nigeria where citizens practice well over 10 religions by my calculation with other citizens being Agnostics and more. It is the military boys in government from the Ibrahim Babangida era that started emotionally manipulating and patronising Nigerians by sponsoring pilgrimages while trying to promote only 2 religions and all that trash because they were getting out of ideas. This was to divert the attention of Nigerians from their cluelessness.

LegendHero:
Nice one from these groups.

It is your right to come out to vent your anger on the ticket. This is democracy and you have every right to be angry.

However, in the game of numbers and decision analysis, most Northern Christians usually give their votes to the PDP and historical data also shows this. Which means that Tinubu already foresaw that there will be withdrawal and realignment, it is already factored in the numbers.

With North being Muslim majority, it will be sure defeat for Tinubu if he had chose a minority Christian as VP. These outburst by CAN/Northern Christians could even have a resultant effect where the average Muslim in the North that won’t vote Tinubu before might be swayed by religious sentiment to make a statement about their numbers in the North.

We welcome more of this outburst, and I hope you can keep the momentum till next year because sentiment analysis shows that Nigerians generally can’t keep up the pace for long.

PropertiesRe: Modern Way To Relocate Buildings & Structures by AlphaTaikun: 5:24pm On Jul 12, 2022
Seniorwriter:
Shanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district earlier this month might have stumbled upon an unusual sight: a "walking" building.
An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground -- in its entirety -- and relocated using new technology dubbed the "walking machine."
In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor of the project.
The supports act like robotic legs. They're split into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human stride. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan, whose company Shanghai Evolution Shift developed the new technology in 2018.
"It's like giving the building crutches so it can stand up and then walk," he said.
A timelapse shot by the company shows the school inching laboriously along, one tiny step at a time.
According to a statement from the Huangpu district government, the Lagena Primary School was constructed in 1935 by the municipal board of Shanghai's former French Concession. It was moved in order to make space for a new commercial and office complex, which will be completed by 2023.
Workers had to first dig around the building to install the 198 mobile supports in the spaces underneath, Lan explained. After the pillars of the building were truncated, the robotic "legs" were then extended upward, lifting the building before moving forward.
Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21 degrees and moved 62 meters (203 feet) away to its new location. The relocation was completed on October 15, with the old school building set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural education.
This project marks the first time for "walking machine" method ever been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building, according to government statement.
Shangai has Decade records of destruction;
In recent decades, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for gleaming skyscrapers and office buildings. But growing concern about the architectural heritage always lost as a result of demolition across the country brought about this new innovation.
Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns on occasion ;the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than demolished.

The official indifference toward historic architecture can be traced back to when Communist Party leader Mao Zedong was in power.
During the disastrous Cultural Revolution, from 1966 to 1976, innumerable historic buildings and monuments were destroyed as part of his war on the "Four Olds" (old customs, culture, habits and ideas).

LegendHero:
Emir of his own Hausa community in Festac.

We also have Oba Yoruba in Kano and some other states in the North so I don’t see anything wrong in this.

Ganduje even supported him fully as you can see him in his entourage when he visited Lagos.
Deep insights.

I would have prefered the titles: President of the Yoruba, Hausa, Ibo in the various states instead of using honoric titles such as
Oba, Sarki, and Eze.

Look, Before you go dey father children, make sure you are matured enough to bear the full responsibility to come with it. My hope is this becomes a truth to overtake the past falsehoods. Enough of the lies and pretense of the past abeg. undecided
Just to be clear...

What I wrote is absolutely correct. Single mothers are usually adviced to get father-figures for their kids who can always advice and mentor the kids in the absence of their real fathers. These are global standard!

Second, I haven't encouraged anyone to get married without getting the different aspects of their lives together. There have been many cases worldwide were men and women had their finances right, with some bank savings, but then things go south and divorce sets
in after a man loses his job and
becomes unable to care for his children's needs.
PoliticsRe: Buhari Is Currently The Most Hated Politician In The North by AlphaTaikun: 3:19am On Jul 12, 2022
Ttalk:
What is the OP insinuating? He was shocked Helinues caught him even before he cough out his deceit.

When Buhari appointed only Northerners into security outfits of the nation, the north didn't hate him.

When he stated all foreign interventions should be concentrate in the North, the north did not hate him.

When he was making lopsided appointment to favour the North, the North didn't hate him.

When he awarded contract to build road up to Maradi in Niger when Lagos to Seme that carries the highest load of import to Nigeria is completely damaged, the North didn't hate him.

When BH are being pampered, granted state pardon and given scholarship while unarmed IPOB are being hunted and killed, the north didn't hate him.

Arrewa get it into your head, power must come to the South, either Tinubu or Obi or anyone from the South is the only choice of a united Nigeria..

Your subtle campaign to return power to the North through Atiku is dead on arrival
Well said!

The OP is being dishonest here... You and @helinues sussed him out.

I just saw his insidious post today on a FP thread where he was campaigning for Atiku of PDP, his ethnic Fula kinsman to take over from the current Nigerian President who is also a Fula!

Self-interest.

Muslim-muslim ticket - Good or bad:
Depending on how you look at it but we can all agree for an inclusive society for a nation that is so divided like ours, it is the right thing to do. But politicians dont care about this trust me they only shout when it does not favour them. They dont care about any religion. Akeredolu and Fayemi are christians yet they backed Tinubu and even working underground for him across the states, are you better christians than they arehuh The truth is the people who wail about the religion the most are the poor. Orji a southern christian campaign for another muslim notherner for president. Akpabio stepped down for Tinubu a muslim.

Dear poor people wailing will not help you this dirty game is all about politics. Do we even have a true christian or muslim in nigerian politicshuh? These fools just play you guys with religion. Please where is the christian value in Orji Kalu or muslim value in Tinubuhuh?

Poor people!!! Poor people!!! Focus on your life nothing religious about these fools.

Now lets go back to muslim-muslim ticket. You all the need to understand one thing the Nigeria politics is north vs south, believe it or not people like Tinubu, Kwakwaso etc understand this. You all think Tinubu loves Buhari huh? Smh. He supported Buhari because he believed it was the turn of the north and power will shift back to south should he finish his tenure. You think El-Rufai and the rest are fools when they said power should shift to southhuh? The reason is because they believe after Tinubu they can take over as well.

Now north is majority muslim and the VP is taking northern slot while south is predominantly christian and Tinubu represent it. Do not blame northern for a muslim VP blame christian leaders for not getting the ticket in APC or PDP. South decided to give their ticket to Tinubu in APC and Atiku in PDP, whose faulthuh? Why didnt Igbo or Obi fight hard in PDP as Tinubu or Yoruba fought hard to get APC tickethuh

The Tinubu is most likely the next nigerian president you can all wail till the ocean is full, emotions dont win elections.

I am against all the fools contesting as I dont believe anyone of them can fix the country.
Well said... You used insults such as "fools" to describe specific people in your post, but you made valid points.

Tinubu is from the South while Shettima is from the North and this is satisfactory enough for political balancing. It is mentally poor people who have been posting and talking B.S about the so-called
M-M ticket.
