I have done my part during the military . We protested heavily at Tai sholarin stature Yaba and envron.

The youth of today should do their part too

Lead us again, after all you have some experience in doing so.

When Adekunle liberated Warri and other non Ibo regions he stopped at the boundary with Anioma .

It was Murtala that for reasons best known to him continue his military putsch into Anioma .

The plan was to liberate every non Igboid area from Biafra and that plan did not include Asaba and Anioma .

In Rivers and PH, the Ikwere were never targeted for reprisal because the Ikwere rejected Ojukwu and his Biafra from the onset.

These confused Asaba people should decide once and for all if they are Ibo and fck off to the SE.

Per the bolded, he couldn't let Asaba people be running unchecked behind his ranks. Remember the Ndigbo part of the Midwest were Biafra in all but name. David Ejoor has told the tale very well.

Bossman:
The desire and lust for money that some of us have is really beyond me. Some of these folks will do anything to get this money. What is wrong with being contempt in life? Does it have to always be about money? So much greed! Serves them right.

Not defending the but it's human nature and without a good moral compass, big temptation.

In the US, a set of female twins got a contract with the military to supply basic stuff.

After a few years, they were trusted enough to use a special portal to claim on their invoices which they did faithfully for a few more years.

One day, one of the made a mistake and entered a number twice and pressed send, so instead of 5432.11, she had pressed 5543.21.

She only realised her mistake when the payment came into the account a few days later. From that day on, she kept on adding numbers here and there until she started adding extra zeroes. And of course, the company was being paid almost immediately as it was a portal for trusted supplies.

Her company will supply 2,000 worth of stationery, Anti will claim 200,000 and be living large. Even her twin sister didn't know what was happening.

In the end, FBI auditors looked at the books and arrested them both. They released the innocent one unconditionally and released the crooked one on bail. The latter commuted suicide that same evening.

It's not easy to see free (government) money and look away.

flokii:
I think the government should carve out biafra for this mediocre to be its President.. this kind can't rule over intelligent minds in Nigeria.

Sowore is far far better than this shlt contesting for President.

He can't play the Ndigbo card in Biafra, he would not smell like LGA chairman in that country.

Sleekfingers:
That's not going to happen....

Everybody should rig and let the best rigger win....
Since most Nigerians never wan get sense ....
They are kept quiet, since 2023 till date, instead of them to hit the street and shutdown the country for electoral reforms .....

Now they want free and fair election. And they expect the ruling party to allow that now. Una go learn the hard way

Why not lead us in hitting the streets to protest. You will complain about others' inactivity yet you have nothing to show.

Kalashnikov49:
Thry passed THROUGH BENIN and MET no resistance.

I just want you to KNOW that ..you are irrelevant in this discuss. As you hide behind YORUBA to spew your hate towards UGBOs, it will NEVER make Yoruba LOVE you.

You are useless to them...

There was resistance, strong resistance.

I have never spewed hate towards Ndigbo, towards Obidients who initiated it, yes!

This is lovely to see.

Hopefully Biafra army commanders would apologise for the mayhem they forced on those in Benin when they invaded.

NHS are the easiest organisation in that UK to defraud, ordinary basic financial checks and balances, they don't appear to have.

I have seen a few videos on YouTube where NHS have been defrauded by all kinds of people, West Indians, Asians, White people etc.

A woman, can't remember her name, has lost her seat in the house of Lords because of the blatant fraud of substandard clothing and other equipment they perpetuated on The NHS during Covid. The contract was worth 6 million pounds.

I am not supporting these ones by the way, before Obidients bring their wàhálà.

Missingyoutu:
Don't vote for Tinubu/APC. This is a friendly reminder. He said we should not vote him if we still pay estimated billing. Tinubu didn't keep to his promise

I have never and will never vote for him or his party, neither would I vote Atiku or the shyster that said "forget proof, I won the elections"

grandstar:
Ok.

But do you know he cant win the next election?

I dont see how.

Even if there was a run off, it would be between Tinubu and Atiku.

Obi would do better working with Atiku. Atiku has strength in the North, while Obi in the Southeast.

As a duo together, they would achieve the 25% threshold of votes cast in two-thirds of the States.

Peter Obi peaked in 2023 and he sadly has no one around him to tell him that salient truth.

Now with a longer lead up to elections, fowl yansh don open and his blandness had been laid to bare.

His Obidients are also helping him shrink his vote share with their vituperations on social media even more.

And then anytime he opens his mouth, more amazement by neutrals that he got this far in Nigerian politics by operating under the radar leading to more loss of votes.

We as Nigerians are not righteous so how can the leaders, chosen from amongst us, be.

A sweeping generalisation I admit but by and large, we have a corrupt system of rubbing each other's back. A system that exists everywhere but in Nigeria, has been elevated to an art form at all levels.

KosiGee:
Banex should use his sense…he should apply some good sense.
Nigeria, APC, Tinubu and Wike don’t play that sort of politics.

He should protect his business against arson. It takes rash actions like this to witness faulty electrical issues that’ll give rise to fire outbreak in the middle of the night.

FCT town planning laws could be revisited or modified to bring that plaza down. There are lots of bulldozers with their operators competing over who’ll win the ‘contract’ to reduce that plaza to ashes.

It's a plaza, the owner has been paid for the banner to be put up, it's THE NDC traders that are leasing his units that don't want the banner put up.

Usmanovic95:
Funny part is there wouldn't have been any drama if it was Atiku or PO banner that was been placed on the spot. Tinubu's anti people's policy is making him so unpopular.

I suspect the plaza is full of Ndigbo traders and Atiku's poster would have received short shift as well.

If APC have paid for the banner to be displayed, they should be allowed to put it up or their monies refunded.

It seems clear as daylight to me that the opposition has given up on trying to set up structures to compete during the elections and are focusing more on rounding up and paying area boys to cause mayhem to APC people and property.

APC can't complain though, they themselves are not averse to using NURTW members, in Yorubaland at least, during elections.

I hope this doesn't turn into a violent election as all the candidates have children, none of whom would partake. Sadly it looks like things are leaning that way.

zoedew:
The overlooked point is what the percentage of Igbo registered to vote in that constituency to that of Yoruba also registered to vote in the same Constituency is. Politics is a game of numbers. So long as the Igbo ensure that the number of their kith and kin registered to vote is dominant will their choice of who represents the constituency prevail. Matters allied to that submission is what I have been trying to draw attention to all day so we all can learn but the moderators in here whose prism are as narrow as can be kept covering the comment and banning me from making comments. I think that is quite shameful and takes away from the value of Nairaland!

Whilst you might have a point about Ndigbo mobilisation, there is not a chance Ndigbo could go it alone to defeat a Yoruba APC person in Oshodi-Isọlọ, maybe Ajeromi, not Oshodi-Isọlọ.

What happened was he rode on an Obí goodwill and was voted by all tribes, including a good chunk of Yoruba. He clearly wasn't a true LP party member as you can tell from him hopping to NDC where I believe he lost in the primaries.

Ndigbo in Oshodi-Isọlọ don't number up to 20%, people mistake SS and even some MB as Ndigbo to proffer a higher number. Ft

zoedew:
But Rep. Okey Joe-Onuakalusi was just being factual! He is known to be a straightforward person!!! Truth is, the Igbo are the electoral majority in Osodi/Isolo Constituency. He knows what he is talking about. That is the cold truth and he will win a second term barring electoral malpractice targeted at denying him the electoral victory. Politics and winning elections are a game of numbers!!!

There is no single polling unit in Oshodi-Isọlọ that has more non-Yorùbá's combined than Yoruba, talk less of Igbo, not one.

I thought this guy lost out in NDC primaries to another Ndigbo so unless he has decamped, his political career is dead and buried.

He rode a crest of a wave in 2023 and quite frankly, has spoilt it for non Yorùbá's born and brought up in Oshodi-Isọlọ that would have been worthy to represent the people of that constituency. Pure selfishness.

Speaking about his record as Anambra State governor, Obi said:

“I was the best in education, basic education as a governor. You can go and check the records. Oyeka Nweko is coming number one.”

In one breath, we should forget proof, next breath we should check the records.

How do you measure who is "best in education" (sic)? Federal Republic of Nigeria, congratulations, that was one serious bullet you dodged in 2023.

This is all painful to read and hear, and then some will (attempt to) defend it as well.

Comicallly calamituos.

Kukutente23:
I see
So according to your logic, breakers of the law are at liberty to choose their preferred agency for their arrest
I hope if Bello Turji calls Tinubu to come and arrest him, you'll insist on Tinubu going to oblige the murderer
Cause APC data boys logic no just dey make sense

First off, I am not APC. Secondly, I am not saying I agree with DSS hooking the guy, I am just saying he invited them and they accepted his invitation. Chikena.

alanto:
What she's saying is she lost the deals that involved protection but took the ones where both were protected. It is normal for people that don't want to protect themselves to pay more for sxx.

I don tok am bifor, no one (or very few) bothered to pay the additional premium price she put on top for raw dogging.

Na wetin dey pain am bí dat.

Kukutente23:
What is the business of DSS with public order
And these are the clowns asking for state police

Na di boy himself take him mout invite dem specifically as he dey destroy billboard dey go.

They had no choice but to respond to his invitation.

I feel sorry for his mum but persin wey dem nor teach for house, na for outside (or for DSS cell) he go gree hear word by fire by force.

My own bí say, rig anyone wey rig (whatever that means, supan, please can you have proof that they rigged before you rig them.

Sha don't say, forget proof and start rigging people. Oh and one other thing Peter Obí, please ensure both your children are at the forefront of this rigging anyone that rigs.

Peter Obi, you are jacking up other people's children now ó with your (empty and grammatically meaningless) rhetoric, as you can tell from mouthy Obidients posts on this thread, sha make sure you support them fully when they are rotting away in a gulag.

Omo, di tin one babe give me love bite, di tin dey sweet and pain mi at di same time.

It is well.

ottersberger:
Good day,

I have no objection to you or your associates earning a living, if that is indeed the motivation behind your engagement. However, I would appreciate it if you refrained from attempting to enlist me in an agenda with which I have no interest in being associated.

Why is it so difficult to allow due process to run its course?. Neither you nor I has the authority to dictate the pace, direction, or outcome of a legal proceeding, irrespective of whether we possess the requisite locus standi. The proper course is to allow the law to take its course, rather than seek to prejudge or manipulate the process through public commentary.

Your intervention, regrettably, appears less concerned with illuminating the issues than with obscuring them, a strategy that substitutes obfuscation for substantive engagement.

It is campaign season, my good friend. The Nigerian electorate deserves an account of President Tinubu’s stewardship: his record in office, the consequences of his policies, and the extent to which his administration has fulfilled its obligations to the Nigerian people. What the country does not need is a recycling of familiar narratives, disinformation, and political subterfuge in place of substantive answers.

For the avoidance of doubt, I hold deeply unfavourable views of Tinubu’s record and believe that serious questions concerning his conduct warrant scrutiny. These are matters that should be addressed through evidence, due process, and reasoned public discourse, not obscured by partisan advocacy. I understand, of course, that personal interests and political loyalties may influence where one chooses to stand.

Be assured that I will continue to exercise my democratic right to oppose Tinubu’s re-election and to challenge policies and practices that, in my assessment, threaten to erode the modest gains Nigerians across ethnic, religious, and social divides are working tirelessly to secure for their families.

Public office is a responsibility, not a personal entitlement; and political loyalty, however fervent, cannot substitute for accountability.

Afternoon,

A lot of salient truths in your post.

Your right with all you said about President Tinubu and interestingly, I myself share some of it.

We defer on the aspect of the (phantom) post glomar response (so called) court case to Greenspan initial request.

When is this due process going to happen, when is anyone involved going to be interviewed?

At least you yourself must realise by now that Ikemefuna was just "catching cruise" with his twitter posts on the phantom case.

The intervention of Ikemefuna and the nonsensical noise of an intervenor, 399 pages, judge giving ultimatum to FBI etc does nothing but make us all look silly buying into it. Not to talk of obscure Nigerian one man websites like Yaroinsider adding his own jara.

Dates upon dates and postponement upon postponement, surely those that believe there is something in this can give the doubters a little valid proof to hold on to.

Anyway, I shall resist the urge to tag you further as it appears Ikemefuna has thrown in the towel and the noise has died down this reducing to nothingness your interest in the case.

MrSly:
It implies that her money was reduced after she refused to do without protection. The silence on the part, with protection is intentional. Musa no dey finish wetin him dey see for gate.

You sabi wetin she use code tok.

Or maybe she would have taken her chance but the additional monies offered to do so were not as much as she wanted.

This is great, I remember when we used to play international qualifying tournaments as "West Africa" in combination with Ghana and Gambia.

I also have friends in the once very active London Nigerian cricket team.

Congratulations to the team.

BATified2023:
we don jail nnamdi kanu n got away with it

We robbed obi of his vote in Rivers n got away with it

Wetin remain?

You wicked small sha, you go Kpai Obidients wit dis ya post.

sigmax:
Fadahunsi was invited by the police and he responded to defend himself .
If opposition makes a petition for the Edo State chairman,same will apply to him as well .

Jarett was invited by the DSS in Edo state for a chat after making the stupid statement about "AK47 fire", he went and I believe was suitably chastised.

Of course, it doesn't mean he won't misyarn again as that is his wont.

ccollins:
if not because of how messed up the Nigerian system is and how inhuman and bad situations are promoted against the citizens of Nigeria. In advanced countries, do people suffer in detention even when they are yet to be convicted by a court of law? We need to stop this barbaric mindset that was used in the military era of suffering people in detention unjustly

That is not the point but feel free to start a campaign against people suffering in detention.

And at no point did I have a barbaric mindset in suggesting it was a good thing that he suffered in detention, feel free to show me where I did.

The silly boy filmed himself damaging property and then dared DSS to come after him. I am very certain he will not be repeating that idiocy ever again after he finishes availing himself of their facilities.

Peter Obi has two children, you will not see either of them tearing up any poster of President Tinubu.

At no point in time will Margaret Obí need to worry about where the DSS have kept either of her children or what suffering they are going through in DSS custody.

If this boy is not released before the next elections, Peter Obi will not halt his campaign.

If Peter Obi meets President Tinubu at an event, even while DSS haven't released the boy, both politicians will greet each other warmly and smile for the cameras.

Why do we do these things to ourselves?

christejames:
Honestly, the guy is good and deserve that position, and by God's grace he will be the president's spokesman next year...




He is an AI version to the analogue Kenneth Okonkwo

Per the bolded, so he should cross over to APC less than a year after he was made director of new media at NDC.

Dalohad:
That electric fence is a disaster waiting to happen.

If it falls on motorists due to poor maintenance it would cost lives.

Hopefully falls squarely right on top of the heads of some Obidients. I nor wan mention anybody name but wey dat specialmati, Bia nwanem, come near dis electric fence, I wan show you sumtin.

If Obidients don't stop destroying billboards, then there won't need to be any electrified barbwire at risk of falling, worth bearing in mind.
