mrvitalis:Ignorance is a big disease! |
Simdyofficial:This statement describes the teachings of ur faith and ur moral upbringings. However, Islam mentions blasphemy (sabb) in Q6:108. The verse calls on Muslims to not blaspheme against deities of other religions', lest people of that religion retaliate by blaspheming against Allah. And do not insult (wa la tasubbu) those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult (fa-yasubbu) Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do. — Qur'an 6:108 That is why Muslims can never make blasphemous statement against Jesus (PBUH), Christians or people of any other faith. |
Perfecttouch: Simdyofficial: madridguy:Have u ever heard CBN being hacked? I mean in reality not usual media rumours. Don't ever undermine the power of CBN internet security. What CBN said is very true. |
WoundedLamb:Reasonable comment! It's pitiful how we rush to commend innovations abroad and quickly reject ours just because of ethno-religious bias! |
Cantonese:One of the very few people who understand the reason for using so much ATM since this kind of issues started trending in the North around 2016. Many people think otherwise but there are kind of illegal FOREX that fetch so much profit in this schemes. Sometimes they'll ask youths to open particular bank accounts and get them verve card only, sometimes master card, sometimes they'll ask for defunct Diamond unexpired ATM cards. |
If people can be called backward, then these kind of people who hold the mentality of believing so much in superstition and juju are the highest level of backwardness on earth ![]() |
Zuluhead:In ur ethno-religious bias mind they should sign it into law. Peace dialogue and channels to find constant peace is the solution to our problems. It is obvious that some group of people are known for peddling hard drugs throughout the Nation, some group of people started and extended arm robbery throughout this Nation from the south down to the North and nobody stereotype those whole group as bad nor target their people and profile them as criminals but because of one single issue u are ranting fanatically, crying like baby. The xenophobic attacks on ur people is highly justifiable because of ur criminal tendencies outside Nigeria due to outrageous cultism, prostitution, Yahoo scam and all sort of odd attitude but we stay behind u by condemning the attacks because u deserve humanly justice not jungle justice. Shari'a reject alcohol and its consumption because it has Long-Term Health Risks. Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to the development of chronic diseases and other serious problems including: High blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and digestive problems. Cancer of the breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, voice box, liver, colon, and rectum. |
Malory:Remember that thousands of teenagers are rampaging the streets of south with all kind of weapons in the name of cultism and ritualism. You need to see things beyond sentimental point of view. Ponder well and think like a reasonable human being not fanatic jingoist! |
Ammishaddai:Your comment is a sign of hypocrisy to the highest order. He is a pastor and this doesn't mean there are no evil pastors, infact some of Nigerian pastors are criminals to some extent; most Eastern baby factories are Churches products! Why do always choose to reject the criminality of ur kinsmen or ur religious leaders? |
BigDawsNet:No jet is designed to fight terrorism and the nature of the battle like Super Tucano! The best for this battle! |
Maxymilliano:Your comment is bias and deliberately made as a result of ur nurtured hatred against the mentioned tribe and religion. What Femi Adesina said is really manifesting with every passing day, ur pastors spent their Sunday church service to teach u how to hate. Here is a case of NABTEB Boss, Prof Isiugo-Abanihe, Enmeshed In Corruption Scandal The National Business and Technical Examinations Board under the leadership of Prof Ifeoma Isiugo-Abanihe, who was formerly at the Institute of Education, University of Ibadan, has been embroiled in corruption heist presently threatening the existence of the education agency. Prof Isiugo-Abanihe, who was appointed in 2016 as Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB when Dr Aworanti was sacked from the agency, has been entangled in a web of corruption since she assumed office. NABTEB, which has its headquarters in Benin, Edo State, also has offices across all states of Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory. NABTEB is constitutionally vested with the power to oversee all technical and business examinations across the country. Prof Isiugo-Abanihe has been roundly accused of high handedness, violation of due process in award of contracts and subversion of civil service rules in employment of staffers. Her recklessness bothers on over-invoicing, using fictitious names for contracts and sundry corruption sleaze, which earlier pitched Prof Leonard Shigba, the former Board Chairman against her. Investigation revealed that Prof Isiugo-Abanihe used her connections at the Federal Ministry of Education to have Shigba removed as NABTEB’s Board Chairman and demoted and subsequently sacked from the university where he was teaching in Bayelsa State for daring to revamp and reposition the troubled NABTEB. Our findings unearthed how Prof Isiugo-Abanihe insisted, prevented and blocked all efforts to have a new board chairman in place who would have been overseeing the approval of contacts before they are awarded to contractors. Besides, she has been accused of appointing staffers illegally without required qualifications with falsified dates of birth. Most of the newly employed staffers came from Imo State but they were advised by Prof Isiugo-Abanihe to change their states of origin to reflect federal character equilibrium in accordance to the Nigerian constitution. One of such illegal appointment is that of her nephew Mr Chidi. Following a protest, Prof Isiugo-Abanihe quickly transferred Chidi whose certificate is allegedly questionable to Ebonyi State office as a level 7 cadre officer. Up till now, Chidi had refused to honour the transfer out of Abuja office. Also charges of irregularities in the placement of the newly employed staffers abound against the registrar. For example, there are doctorate staffers, who are placed on level 9 step 5 and level 9 step 3, at the time the registrar places Masters degree holder on the same levels with Ph.D holders on 9 step 3 level because the person in question, Mr Onuegbu Vincent Onyeka, is her son in law. This is even when other Masters degree holders are placed on level 8 step 1. Yet, Onuegbu Vincent Onyeka only came to NABTEB with a part time experience from a private company. The most traumatising of it all, according to a senior staffer, who is shy of the prints is the case of Dr Obina Okpara, the Director of Examination Administration. “Dr Obina transferred his service from another establishment. He started work in the former establishment in 1984. “Upon transfer to NABTEB, Dr Obina with a Master degree at the time was placed as a deputy director due to the purported transfer of service. He rose to the position of a director. “Dr Obina was expected to have retired on October 31, 2019 but he is still serving because the registrar is covering up for him since they are both from Imo State,” he lamented. The explanation given following the resistance from staffers is that Dr Obina secured a fresh appointment with NABTEB when his transfer of service from an unknown establishment didn’t work out. Findings had revealed from the standard civil service rules that no one has ever been appointed or employed directly to the position of deputy directorship with a Master’s degree. Former Director of Administration, Mallam Bello, now retired had earlier rejected Dr Obina’s plea to alter the documents to reflect a fresh appointment, but the registrar crippled the agitation and influenced Bello’s successor, Mr James Pamni to accept Dr Obina’s plea. It was reported that Mr Pamni threatened members of staff to keep mute on the issue or face disciplinary action. Further investigation into the alleged graft of Prof Isiugo-Abanihe’s administration shows that she has been keeping the official vehicles of the examination agency to herself, especially the newly acquired vehicles like the 2018 Prado Jeep, which sources hinted had been enlisted for sale. It was disclosed that the registrar was mad at the agency’s officials when she discovered that the said Prado Jeep was registered in the NABTEB’s name, instead of her name as personal property. The management and members of staff are in agreement that the registrar had been short-changing even the drivers of the Board without paying them the actual amount of their night allowances. For instance, it was alleged that anytime she makes herself available for five days for examination monitoring out of 24 days, she merely pays the drivers for only five days and take the money for the remaining 19 days because the money is paid into her bank account directly by the agency. Sensing that her stewardship of the agency was under scrutiny and being investigated, Prof Isiugo-Abanihe, swiftly made available 10 nights’ allowances to the drivers for the month of January, 2020 alone. In spite of the obvious contravention of the rules of the civil service, Prof Isiugo-Abanihe is yet lobbying vigorously for a second term of another four years. She allegedly boasted to members of staff that the new Minister of State for Education, Hon Emeka Nwajiuba, was from the same state as herself and that he would ensure she retains her office. Recently Prof Isiugo-Abanine gave employment to the younger sister of the Minister of State for Education without due process. Efforts to have the registrar’s side of the story proved abortive as she bluntly refused to respond to a text message sent to her by our correspondent. However, Public Relations Officer of NABTEB, Mr Uchechuwu Olisa, said the allegations against Prof Isiugo-Abanihe were baseless and a calculated attempt to smear her image. https://newscenter.com.ng/nabteb-boss-prof-isiugo-abanihe-enmeshed-in-corruption-scandal/ |
Lastmessenger2:You don't need to derail from the subject-matter, North is too vast for u to give her a common perception! |
Lastmessenger2:How can dogmatic people accept reality? |
Lastmessenger2:I'm very much sure that the persistent air strikes and heavy weapons that are deployed and used against bandits and BH if they were from SE the whole world would've heard ur dirty voice alleging massacre on ur youth. Common ordinary IPOB terrorists being tackle with just AK-47 ur ppl are complaining.... Let all terrorists be punished with death! |
Igbodicool:Don't speak based on ignorance. The same way Fulani are hated today in Nigeria. IGBOS MARGINALISATION OF NIGERIANS *THIS IS THE REASON WHY HAUSAS, YORUBAS, EDO AND THE NIGER DELTA MAN WILL NOT TRUST THE IBO MAN AT THE CENTER AND WHY THE HAUSAS MAY NOT WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER IN NIGERIA* Any historians in the house to vet this: Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance? Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria; Chief of Army Staff was from SE Chief of Naval Staff was from SE IG of Police was from SE Chief of Defence Staff was from SE Internal Affairs Minister SE External Affairs Minister SE Education Minister South SE Many other key ministries to SE Parliament President SE Unilag VC from SE The University of Ibadan VC from SE North resisted same at ABU! Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!! Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed. Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it! We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts. *What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"* Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. *“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then but some ignorant or selfish people limit their accusations to only Abdussalam Abubakar constitution that give birth to current democratic govt. Today, they're shouting restructuring that they helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*. WHAT SOME GROUP OF PEOPLE WILL NEVER TELL U ABOUT THEIR WOES The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended. To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country". Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe. But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable. After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned. It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him. Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here is a quote: "From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa" Northerners have clearly known this & will never succumb to cheap political trick, how can u call us backward and at the same time asking us to go back to 1963 constitution talkless of even amending the current constitution? |
FuckkME:Why are u guys living in denial? Is it not better to call them IPOB than stereotyping the killings as Igbo killings? It is absurd the way they use ethnicity in their barbarism and when it is time to pay back, UN and other world organisations will all hear it! |
TheBanker23:1. North-East has highest number of ethnic groups in Nigeria with Gombe having more than 21, Borno has more than 30, Taraba has 40, Bauchi 55, Adamawa 78 and Yobe having 7. 2. Out of 6 North-Central states 4 are Muslims dominant; Kwara, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger are Muslims dominated while Benue iand Plateau are Christians majority 3. Boko Haram has long been pushed to the boarder of Niger Republic and Chad operating around Yobe and Borno states. The only rumours we hear abt the presence of BH in North-Central is somewhere in Niger state. The only killings u can stand to dispute is the banditry which is common in North-West and North-Central, it is much more prevalent in Zamfara, Sokoto and Katsina. Banditry has cost more lives from Zamfara alone than the entire Christians affected by the mayhem. 4. You are so fanatic and religious jingoist that is why u made this senseless, bias and myopic statement 5. HISTORY OF NIGERIA LEADERSHIP DISTRIBUTION Some people should rather use their brain to think than to allow others feed them with hatred & lies. Some forces are using ethno-religious diversity of Nigeria to create dangerous accusations & conspiracies which are far from the truth. Those enemies of peace logically use the current predicaments of Nigerian to blame some tribes or religious group for the failure of Nigeria not knowing that all the groups collaborated in gang raping the nation. Those inciting Nigerians along ethno-religious line know very well that some gullible are so dumb enough to accept anything trash feed into their head. Below is the data that calculated the years Nigerians are ruled under religious, ethnic and geographical location considerations. 60 years since independence, Nigeria was ruled by: 11years Obasanjo- Yoruba 9 years Yakubu Gowon-Angas 8 years IBB-Nupe 6 years GEJ-Ijawa 6yrs Nnamdi Azikwe-Igbo 5 years Abacha-Kanuri 7 years Buhari (+2yrs military regime)- Fulani 3 years Shagari-Fulani 2yrs Yaradua-Tuareg 6 months Agunyi-Ironsi-Igbo 2years Murtala, Shonekan & Abdussalam-Fulani, Yoruba & Hausa. If calculated along religious line, it can be seen that Nigeria was ruled under Christians Presidents for atleast 32years while Muslims Presidents ruled for 28 years. When calculated along geographical location, it can be seen that South ruled for almost 24yrs while North rule for almost 36yrs. Yoruba ruled for approximately 12years, Fulani ruled for less than 11yrs, Angas ruled for 9yrs, Igbos ruled for 6yrs, Ijaw had 6yrs, Kanuri had 5yrs, Nupe had 8yrs, Tuareg had 2yrs while Hausa had 1year only. North-Western presided Nigeria for about 17yrs, South-West presided for about 12yrs, North-Central enjoyed approximately 18yrs, South-South presided for 6yrs, South-East had 6yrs while North-East are still struggling to get to the apex position and still not agitating for it. Going by the logical distribution of power along ethnic and religious line it can be seen that accusing only one particular tribe or religion for Nigeria's failure is just a deliberate tactics by desperate power mongers and children of hate to put us into ethno-religious conflicts. States of Nigeria which are generally referred to as belonging to the Middle Belt are: old Plateau (now Plateau and Nasarawa), old Gongola (now Adamawa and Taraba), Niger, Kwara, Kogi, Benue, the Federal Capital Territory, alongside Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Southern Kebbi, Southern Gombe, Southern Yobe State. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Belt |
JavaScript90: Brendaniel: didioviedo30:Buhari has never pardon Boko Haram fighters caught in battlefield. The long war against insurgents is fought using kinetic and non-kinetic approach that is why govt open window to pardon those who surrender not the active Boko Haram fighters. Kanu had enough time to dialogue with govt but he refused and continued inciting his members to kill securities and destroy public and private properties despite the fact that he jumped bail initially. The bail jumper would've walk freely if he accepted to withdraw his violent struggle for political activism. There is a major difference between a prisoner and surrendered! |
FarahAideed:Everyday you are ridiculing the certificate u obtained from school and the school u attended. If u dnt know leadership then go and learn how it works. President doesn't necessarily need to know everything, he just need to surround himself with good hands which we have in Nigeria except if we don't want to commit ourselves to the progress of our Nation. Protocol office and the Minister and his team will brief the President abt everything he needs and wants in his discussion with the visiting President. The deal will be struck by experts in the concerned ministry by govt officials not only the President. Dangote already has more than a billion dollar investment in South Africa not 2-by-2 shops disguising as business men to peddle hard drugs and traffick women for prostitution. |
FarahAideed:Nonsense! You are still living like a village boy. If u go to Abuja, there is nothing that unite Nigerians like corruption there. Only fools, who are suffering from excessive poverty talk abt ethno-religious issues everyday ![]() |
PrinceOfLagos:You know nothing, u are just dogmatic, waiting for news that suits ur need. Ganduje is greedy and very hungry for power. He openly declared support for Tinubu earlier just to be in his good book prior to 2023 politicking because he knows South will be favoured due to zoning permutation and Tinubu has upper hand than any other Southerner; this is the political calculation that ur primitive people don't do! However, Shekarau on several occasions advocated for Southern Presidency come 2023 with sincerity and good intentions and he may likely be in Tinubu team. It's true, Ganduje is working in Kano just like his predecessors but he doesn't care about human capital development, his wife completely controls his Govt in a ridiculous manner, he is amidst people who are there for personal gains and extreme greed. Most of Kano projects are executed for over bloated kick backs not for the development of Kano state; Ganduje is deceptive and clown. Ganduje has lost almost all support of Kano people that is why every serious person in Kano is either lining behind Kwankwaso or Shekarau APC faction. Ganduje completely lost his relevance except in the eyes of those who are more concern on personal gain. No state in Nigeria has enjoyed the human capital development Kano has gotten in the last 22yrs of our return to democracy but this guy came and plundered the good antecedent! |
PrinceOfLagos:We don't just make noise, we make things happen because we have what it takes to change the political direction of Nigeria's polity! |
The Zamfara State Government has lamented that only ten out of the 400 private schools in the state pay their taxes.https://dailypost.ng/2021/11/30/only-10-out-of-400-private-schools-pay-taxes-zamfara-govt/
|
Asgard73:Don't forget that Shekarau is among the foremost Northerners advocating for Southern Presidency come 2023 and Tinubu is his main candidate! |
PrinceOfLagos:Only death can stop Tinubu from becoming Nigeria's President come 2023. Go and hug 120MVA Transformer ![]() |
Guyman02:Nigeria, Niger Republic, Chad, Cameroun and Benin Republic are brothers, take it or leave it. Those who envy or deny the truth behind this are mostly children of hate who don't have any connection or brotherhood outside Nigerian boarder. The countries used to exist as one and shared a lot in common especially in terms of trade, culture, and tradition. The whites just came less than a century and put boarders that separated brothers from all cardinal points of the Nations! |
MadamVanessa:This is the product of extreme corruption and neglect by the Govt responsible for the university's funding. This can never happen in the places u hold so low! This blame game can never bring anything good to u, better wake up to ur task or ask those responsible for ur affairs to wake up. |
Caleycash:Nigeria isn't in anyway a failure. You can call the inhabitants failure but not the Nation. The Nation is always there it is left for her inhabitants to make her good or bad! |
So after calling Muslims backward, the same critics are demanding the idea of floggings as a solution to shame the addicts? The idea of Islam recommending lashes for alcohol and other related drugs is to shame the addicts. I can see another Islamization agenda in the East! |

Did you know why I talked about Mtn finishing e-naira

but he has power to release boko haram members?
