These are speculations...

Uptheante:
But Igbo men like Orji Uzo Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Dave Umahi, Chimaroke Nnamani, etc all contributed massively for his success.
Why are they excluded?

Right perpective on the issue...

Larryndelaw:
That's not the only thing he said on the interview. I watched it from the beginning to the end.
Can you also publish what he said about Datti Ahmed and obi movements. Where he said Datti statements on Channels TV is near Treason and he disassociated himself from it. Stop putting half statements on these Forum.
Even the advise soyinka gave Atiku and Tinubu was way back before Obi jump from PDP to Labour part. Soyinka was nit even thinking about OBI when he gave that advise

How it was even reasoned to voting certaon candidates in just concluded polls leaves much to be desired. The crime is simply just condemnable...may the injured get good treatment and speedy recovery...sigh

TheFacelessMan:
If God didn't create you with intelligence.... you can at least have some empathy or decorum.

This poor man might or might be an APC supporter. Does it mean you should delight in his misfortune?

Some of you here are cursed.

You got it...it seems the crime was committed by some folks in the know of his recent money win

It's sad to see in a recent video of a Nigerian criminal caught in one of the Asian countries being asked his ethnicity in Nigeria by these foreign security officials. Of course it was the usual narrative revealed...

omoadeleye:
Nah bro, you are absolutely wrong.

Igbos are now known in abroad as the most hardened criminal in Nigeria.

They're now profiled, in fact, igbos are always subjected to tight scrutiny than any other tribes in Nigeria.

So stop deceiving yourself about tagging the whole Nigerians.

Igbos crime are igbos crime and they're now profiled.

Good for the country they do....but in this scenario of the LP presidential candidate and the reverred cleric, how did their private phone conversation get to the online publisher? It surely couldn't have revealed by the dss...

Femmyfamous4u:
DSS has the right for national security.

It's baba's subjective view...., this king attracted the state by mentioning a proscribed organisations by same state, making himself person of interest to the DSS unlike other ethnic zealots they cannot be bothered about.

Iamgrey5:
I believe Pa Adebajo should start speaking for himself henceforth, not Yorubas in general..

His views doesn't represent the views of the average Yoruba which voted almost 70% against his choice.

He should focus on his bruised Ego that has been badly damaged by Tinubu political goodwill and fortune amongst average Yorubas.

You must let out your bottled emotions regarding how she acted when she wouldn't want your late mum stay. Your healing starts from there, especially if she will see/own up to the bad manners she displayed....her action typifies most Nigerian wive's. However, there are some that wouldn't treat an inlaw like that.

ozalogbo:
I am the first child of my mother, and I have two younger male siblings. I am doing well financially. My wife is the last of four children in her family. My dad died when I was still in the university, and this affected my mum.

However, as she aged, her health waned. She was a retired teacher. My brothers are not in the country. Both of them are in Europe. I wanted to have my mother stay with me in her later years because of her health and loneliness but my wife did not want it.

Whenever she was ill and I brought her home to be with us, my wife was usually hostile, especially if my mum had stayed beyond a week. She did not hid her disapproval, and this caused problems in the marriage. People advised that I should send my mum away and pay someone to live with her and take care of her. They said that marriage was between a man and his wife, not between a man, his wife, and his mother. I did and peace returned. Eventually my mum passed on after a few years.

Along the line, my father in law also died. And down the line, my mother in law's health began to deteriorate. We live in the same town. Among my wife's siblings she is the only one doing quite well. Now there are suggestions that the mother should come and live with us so that my wife can give her proper care. I believe that her living with us and seeing her grandchildren will help her. And indeed i have no problem accepting her, but when i remember the treatment my wife gave to my mum, there is a strong revulsion, in fact, anger in me. I shared with a friend, and he advised i forgive my wife, but the revulsion is so strong that i would feel cheated if i agreed.

What do you guys think. She reminded me then that marriage was between a man and his wife only. Shouldn't this also apply to my wife now?

Good advice

DeLaRue:
Though Mr Amadi did not use the exact words Mr Fanikayode claimed, an inference can be drawn from Mr Amadi's tweet '... who is this. So it is true?'.

Ofcourse anybody reading his tweet wiould understand that Mr Amadi was propagating the false rumour. It is no surprise that he subsequently deleted the tweet and apologised.

If this goes to court, it may not be a slam dunk for Mr Amadi.

FfK should delete the tweet but not apologise.

It's like a spell was cast on many to be hatefully judgemental while hiding online against the man they never met and wouldn't dare confront if they ever met him in real life. I wonder why non of the lot is never bold enough to either sue him to court or report to a police station with all the spurious allegation they spew online as evidence to nail him.

Dchampion65:
I don't real know what breed the hatred towards him. Most of these people based their judgement on hear say and rumour. 99% did not have any personal encounter with him.

Imagine a lawyer who knew the implications of fake news and character assassination casting aspersion on chief justice. What a world.?

Trans-atlantic slave trade was responsible...

AntiChristian:
Why are there many Yorubas in Brazil?

The argument never seems to end any time soon. I think the name was coined from a Senegales Wolof/Jolof ethnicity which might point to where it started and not necessarily where the best jolof rice is made...

Brutee:
Lol, don't be ridiculous, how can Nigerian culture be older than Ghana when historically Ghana is as old as Egypt, Nigeria came into being in 1914. Ghana was already an empire way back the 10th century


NB - To those displaying their ignorance under my mention saying Ghana was formed in 1957 bla bla bla. They had the name Ghana before the White man gave them the name "Gold coast" which doesn't have any meaning in Africa language. When the white man left they had to go back to their ancient and ancestral name. Nigerian government must as a matter of urgency reintroduce history into the curriculum. The ignorance about history for many people reeks. It's no longer funny

The house style of every media should never be far from the basic tenet of balance and neutrality in their duty as fourth estate of the realm. More over, media personnel should not be setting negative agenda against the state in a partisan manner. They should leave such shenanigans and stick with verified information...every lies sent to the airwaves cannot be withdrawn. It's a bullet that has hit the target, poluting minds...

flokii:
If DSS should pick this one and lock him up now, their journalist unions will be crying all over the place.

It just shows the kind of people we have in the Eastern part of Nigeria with their cruel and mindless attitude towards the plight of others.. I know the CJN would overlook this but I feel one of them should be made a scape goat for others to learn.

Arise TV again.. gutter media outlet.

Indepth and expository.A delightfu read.

You rightly pointed one of the reasons... It will be good all other remote reasons are addressed to check the scourge prevalent among our S.E youths. Enough of the blame game.

Denco2023:
Nawaooo Igbo people, this get rich or die trying syndrome is getting outta hand, pls stop insulting Nigerians by your desperate to make it act pls, I don't blame you guys I went to east, pressure from Dad to the male child, pressure from mum to the male child, pressure from wife/sisters to the male child, a male child must make it weather he likes it or yes. Haba easterners stop pressuring your people to make it, if they travel and come back without money don't mock them it's very hot outside not cool again.

But some fellows celebrated him, claiming the so called policy will stop some politicians buying votes...

WHITELIGHTER:
This man finished Nigerians this year.
He brought untold hardship on us all.
Increased poverty
Rendered naira useless
His name will forever be remembered for the worst economic/financial policy to ever been made in Nigeria.

Right now, he has no political future. It's best he relocate to the west

Lols ...those here won't dare when they are yet to japa.

77up:
Watch as some idiot will start copying them by tearing their valid passport not knowing that those one they are tearing are expired passport.


Clout chaser everywhere.

The simple truth is that the LP candidate simply lost through his past utterances/social media posts about his fellow Yorubas...all other ethnic rivalries between Yorubas and Igbos online and offline are like after thoughts...they will fizzle out. His is like a case of a wrongly inductrinated mind/child against his people...Adelekes are Omoluabis and they will never denigrate their maternal fraternity. You can't but love them.

raskymonojendor:
An Omo Oko below. He is in an opposition party. He was born in Enugu and Mother is from Enugu, yet we love Gov Adeleke. Carry your Gbadebo dey go, there is more to yorubaness than just having a yoruba name.

A man truly is architect of his own misfortune...

Goke7:
Next time be wise, and never admit publicly you can't speak Yoruba, Desmond Elliot Yoruba is not too fluent either.

Grow up and be wiser next time, lastly be careful of your posts on social media

The incident could be from three angles: opposition, staged or those outside politics who want him out but want fingers pointed elsewhere...one can't give hasty conclusion.

Yemike:
Foolish Propaganda. Only those outside Ibadan will believe this

Folarin wey be King of Thugs himself

If experience is the consideration APC candidate stands out from the lot. The guy is highly experienced. However, those who still don't want him can vote as they wish...it cannot stop him taking Lagos further.

adioolayi:
He was a top technocrat ...a top Director at one of the best oil company in the world.

GRV does not have any top level experience...it's dangerous, we can't experiment Lagos Economy with such.

Don't be pushed by emotions ..Vote Sanwoolu for second term

Senator......

DARLYNBOI:
Just tell us the experience that Tinubu had prior to his selection in 1999

We shall see the manner of characters the youths want to emerge after the polls especially in Lagos, a burgeoning mega city needing inexperience to consolidate her economy...experience is no longer prerequisite to govern as claimed...lols.

reddingtonblack:
TBH, 2023 election as really expose most Nigerian youths just pass through school, naa very few school pass through when you listening to there thinking process esp. the GenZ is disturbing.
Peter Obi simply dodged the question playing clever by half, which HR will ever consider that Reply.
Can i apply for a lecturer job in Datti's university ... and tell the HR i don't have experience in sex for marks

They've got every damn right to contest. But like you pointed, anticident and experience matter too. We shall see the manner of leaders Lagosians will go for in days....

TheNiceGuy:
Imagine these charlatans.

Inexperienced governorship Canditate with dull and illiterate VP

She was questioned in English, she couldn't respond with English

She responded in Yoruba but out of context

Even that Yoruba she couldn't speak

She's almost crying because of ordinary hospital protocols meaning she's like the Osu outcasts who're also emotional.

Lagos is Not for these two charlatans that won't be able to manage ordinary LGA

An Okorocha truly has nation wide presence. His likes have built long standing political bridge across Nigeria. Same attribute and more gave Tinubu edge. To win Nigeria's presidency you can't solely depend on religious or ethnic clouts; long sanding trusted and tested strong alliance, strategy, tact,etc., are required.

OGHENAOGIE:
if only they knew Obi is Ipob agenda... Obi can't win election in Nigeria... Let Igbos push folks like soludo nnamani Ken, Anyim Pius okorocha to national prominence.. Obi isn't a national candidate

Quite obvious. The agrieved parties would've easily won if they had formed aliance prior to the polls.. their cummulative votes almost doubled the winning party's. More reason each will believe he won. Whether or not they will pick the positive from their misjudgement is left to be seen.

Zico5:
I feel their pains but they have lost totally. Obidients are just set of people desperate to achieve their aims without even thinking of their capacity. I wonder the magic they want to pull with the voting strength of North. North spoke and they are all masturbating and showing their angers. No matter how they dig, its efforts in futility. Even if they remove totally APC votes in both South East and South South, Tinubu will still win. They forget Tinubu is a master strategist. They downgraded the North and they are taught the lesson of their lives.

Reasonable...

simplesearch:
Lagos State will be a difficult place to capture for now by any opposition party. The reason is that, a lot of people that voted against Tinubu will actually vote for Sanwo-Olu.

You are spot on bro. Misconceptions written all over the page would have been averted if History had been returned to Nigerian school curriculum and made compulsory...Young Ajayi Crowther was captured in the then Oyo town of Oshogun and not from Nupe someone ascribed on the page.. .

ElSudani:
So, in your warped estimation those returnee met a barren land devoid of people in Lagos? Who were the people the Portuguese met in Lagos when the Europeans first landed there?
Is it the Rhodes-Vivours or the Williams or whatever foreign name?
Before slavery Lagos traded with the Europeans especially the Portuguese.
I am not trying to say one Lagosian is more important than the other just trying to educate you on the facts. We will not subscribe to your type of divisive and destructive politics. The type which rendered your homeland uninhabitable.

Weldone guys.

That's the mentality some of them met and imbibed without questioning . How they conclude with hateful generalisation over others without reasonable reasons still baffles.

plaindealer:
See this clown too?

Why are they all deranged?

Even crazy bingo dog get sense pass dem..

Your take is shared; spot on. Only the pastor part is unnecessary.

mrmayoh:
Only those that lack sens3 of reasoning will that. You can actually assess people's intelligence by what they are prepared to believe.

Fake tweet like this makes pastors believe that the election was rigged MASSIVELY.

let's assumed the election was rigged. Can Obi get 25% in these states Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, and Yobe States(10)? Let's be truthful, core northerners did not vote for Obi.

Kwara, Kogi & Niger did/will not vote for Obi mostly because of religion and tribe.

Obi can not win or get 25% in Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti, Osun. Yorubas don't mix politics with religion.

37-18=19. Obi could possibly do well in 19 states.
