Not excusing it, my original post was more focused on an argument based on religious and culturally accepted practices and my belief that the values from the middle east shouldn't truncate the values in the UK. However, read through the post again and you would clearly see that I called out western racism.

My point is this, what good is it to stand shoulder to shoulder with other so called POCs in the fight against the big bad white man,when at the end of the day, most of those same POCS would turn around and join the big bad white man to discriminate against black people in ways that are sometimes even worse than the racism from the white man? Most black people be the champion for everyone else's struggle while neglecting their own issues?

I saw you suggest you agreed with the far right is why I was concerned.

You have not being asked to join anyone who is worse, if people put it front and centre, as was done last weekend, rail against it.

You are not fighting for South East Asian rights in the UK for them to build mosques or hindu temples, it is your rights that are at stake when the far right start baring their fangs.

Yoruba Obas are all over Nigeria. This is that of Kano.

An absolute nonsense, you can't be an Ọba in a foreign land even if you have royal blood.

He can't even call himself a baálẹ or an Asiwaju. These guys need to be called to order.

Mrchippychappy:
As someone who once believed in equality for all, I have come to see the flaw in that belief system as many who the black diaspora and Africans have fought for in the past, have as much disdain for us black people as those who we fought against on their behalf.

I am now more concerned about the wellbeing of the black man rather than that of other races who have as much ( if not more) hatred for the blackman. This habit of sweeping racism in the Islamic world under the carpet while flashing the spotlight on Western racism has to stop, religion should not make a group of people beyond criticism and that is the problem I have with some Muslims.

What is right is right, if we must (and yes we must) criticize and fight against racism from Europeans then we must also do the same for the Arab and Islamic world.

You won't get any arguments from me about Arab and Persian racism. It still doesn't mean you should excuse Caucasian ones by saying "one is worse than the other".

Mrchippychappy:
I am all for diversity and anti racism, however many in that crowd screaming against "racism" such as the middle easterns and South East Asians would treat a black man worse than a dog.

Their religion and culture enforces the belief that the place of a black man is beneath them and the only reason why they are being vocal now is because for the first time in their lives they are on the receiving end of racism. Many of these are also predators who regularly assault underage children as that type of behaviour is normal in their culture and religion.

And then there's the case of the "anti-racism" protesters from the middle east calling for sharia in their communities. I remember having this discussion with a british friend who was virtue signalling, I told him I come from a country where there are two systems in a region of that country, the sharia and the government system, how does one determine which supercedes the other, he didn't have an answer (mind you this same liberal clown of a guy was trying to compare the so called struggle of LGBT to centuries of racism, thats a talk for another day), long story short, you cannot come into another person's country and ask to burn down their constitution and replace it with Sharia law, you are free to go to Gaza, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan or Bangladesh , they have sharia in those places.

I never thought I would see the day when I would be on the side of the white nationalists but well, here we are. Believe it or not, there is a lesser evil and in this case, based on my experience with both sides, the lesser evil are the whites. Trust me you have not experienced racism, hate and religious intolerance until you spend time around middle Eastern and South East Asian people.

If you don dey UK for some time, you go know wetin I dey talk. If you know you know.

You appear to have a problem with South East Asians and Muslims in the UK. Just bear in mind that those racists are not saying you are different, they are lumping you all together in their hatred of those that look different to them.

Also, if people didn't push back against slavery, and African Americans didn't push back against institutionalised racism, guess what you will still be? Some states in the US South actually had laws that made it a criminal offence for black people to be educated past primary level.

Are black or non white people perfect, no. Do some try to game the system, yes. Do whites not do the same, yes and even worse so.

To paraphrase :
They came for the Muslims, I said nothing.
They came for the Indians, I said nothing.
They came for the Gays, I said nothing.

When they came for me, there was no one to say anything.

Please forgive me for asking, Robert Redford was 89, a ripe old age, did you know him personally or was he such an important part of your life for you to consider it painful heart breaking?

Laptop boyz over to you 😁😁

Ned Nwoko writes a brilliant article about Ndigbo pride and emancipation yet you are already here immediately talking about unity beggars and laptop boyz.

Must you encourage people to derail the thread, you sure say you dey ok so?

Tacha the guy is making a good point. This has nothing to do with wherever he comes from. He is saying nothing but the truth, properties in Lagos are overrated and overpriced, simple.

A property is only worth what anyone is willing to pay. Two properties with the same spec can sell for wildly different amounts.

There is nothing overpriced there especially as no one is forced to buy properties or live in Lagos.

peter obi chances of winning in 2027 with ADC is as high as 80%

Atiku chances of winning with ADC in 2027 is like 55%

if rotimi amaechi VP Will be kwankwaso his chances of winning 2027 WITH ADC will b 60%

ADC is presenting an Atiku and Amaechi ticket.

If they present Peter Obí, his chances of winning are pretty low, say 15% if that. His one chance at presidential glory has come and gone.

The pettiness continues..
Oga let me tell you the honest truth, you are too small to tell me my history and am not that kind of man that will allow his enemy to tell him concocted and fabricated lies una dey call "history" that is from lagos, Ibadan gutter press.

If you are not mischievous you won't be telling me that Biafra that has been in existence long before Nigeria was created by the British, is an Igbo project. Who told you that?

The reason why you think that, the advocation for a Biafra republic is nonexistent in none Igbos is because of, diivide and rule that was introduced by Britain, FG of Nigeria and backed by yoruba media.

Don't worry, you will soon get your Ndigbo Republic of Biafra.

I myself will come and live there knowing fully well that President Peter Obí and Vice President Ngozi Orabueze will turn it to an African Dubai.

IJAYA001:
When is it going to be the turn of south east?
Only answer is needed.

As soon as Obidients stop abusing and insulting everyone on social media for them having the temerity not to accept that Peter Obí is whiter than white.

Tinubu FBI drug probe file: Nigerian President turns to U.S. courts, lobbyists, and PR firms to block release of decades-old investigation records.

In a Washington D.C. federal courthouse this September, lawyers representing Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu filed yet another motion to stop American law enforcement agencies from releasing records about him. It was the latest salvo in a two-year legal battle that has cost millions, fought not in Nigeria, but in the United States.

At stake are FBI and DEA files tied to a 1990s heroin trafficking investigation in Chicago that allegedly implicated Tinubu, then a rising politician. The fight underscores how African leaders are increasingly using Western courts, lobbyists, and PR firms to shield themselves from accountability back home.

Inside the 1990s Drug Probe

The controversy stems from a 1993 U.S. Department of Justice investigation detailed in court affidavits by FBI Agent Kevin Moss. According to those documents, Tinubu’s U.S. bank accounts held more than $1.4 million suspected of being proceeds from a heroin trafficking operation run by Nigerian nationals Abiodun Agbele and Mueez Adegboyega Akande.

The probe ended with Tinubu forfeiting $460,000 to U.S. authorities, funds the government alleged were “traceable to exchanges for controlled substances.” He was never criminally indicted, but the civil forfeiture was legally treated as drug-linked money.

For decades, these facts have been public. What remains sealed are the full investigative files—potentially containing witness statements, charging deliberations, and details of cooperation with U.S. authorities.

The FOIA Case

The current battle began in 2022 when Aaron Greenspan, founder of PlainSite.org, filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking complete FBI, DEA, and CIA files on Tinubu. Nigerian journalist David Hundeyin supported the effort, part of a civil society push to use U.S. transparency laws where those of Nigeria fail.

Initially, the agencies issued “Glomar responses”, neither confirming nor denying the existence of records. That changed on April 8, 2025, when U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the agencies could no longer plausibly withhold documents after … Follow link for more - https://justafricanews.com/tinubu-fbi-drug-probe-files-legal-battle/

Another David Hundeyin thread from a moniker that registered today referencing another one of his one man news portals, looking to prep Obidients before fleecing them.

It's all fake.

Mbanda:
You are still showing your pettiness here.
If you say or believe that the bolded were never Biafrans, then educate us on who they were before the British came to this part of the world to create Nigeria in 1914.

The name "Nigeria" only came into existence in 1914 by lugard's mistress but, the people of the old Eastern region had been in existence before the 6th century so, stop mentioning "Nigeria if you really want us to go deeper into the history of the people una dey always call "minority".

Below is the proof that before the creation of Nigeria in 1914 by the British, Igbos and the people you're calling the "minority" have been staying together as one without divide and rule syndrome by people like you.

Oga bikonu rest, Biafra is an Ndigbo ideal and there is nothing wrong in it except when you want to start pulling other people's with their own distinct culture inside against their wishes.

Why is the advocation for a Biafran republic non existent amongst non-Ndigbo's? Even Ikwerre and Ìka, amongst others, that have a tenuous link of sorts to Ndigbo don't want to be in or associated with Biafra.

Abeg don't urinate on us and tell us it's raining.

Mbanda:
The bolded shows your pettiness. How can you say that the "minorities" were coarsed into Biafra as if there were not Biafrans before the British created Nigeria in 1914. If you doubt what am saying, just tell us the name they bear before the creation of Nigeria by the British.

So Ibibio, Efik, Kalabari and Ogóni, for example, were Biafrans àbi? You are not serious.

They were only alongside under Ndigbo in The Eastern Region as part of the Nigerian Federation, nothing more.

Biafra has always being an Ndigbo project, either in the 60's or currently. Stop lookimg to drag other people into your incoherent project, they didn't buy into it then and sure as hell wouldn't do so now.

20 to 30 minutes is enough. It's not how lengthy the sermon is that matters but the messages conveyed.

I agree, anything more and the Pastor is indulging himself or herself in liking the sound of their own voice.

Quality over quantity, people!

yummy001:
I believe the Ndigbo community needs to embark on an emergency value re-orientation programme and campaign against this "getting rich at all cost irrespective of the means mentality" which is deeply responsible for this embarrassing menace.

However, I agree with you that these boys who are always getting caught are just mere mules in the game. For every mule caught, there are hundreds of mules on the queue begging the real dons chilling in palatial mansions back home to be given a chance to transport the product.

If the Indian authorities are serious about curbing this menace, they need adopt the FBI deep investigative approach even if it involves working with interpol to nab the main producers and distributors of the drugs..

All this frequent nabbing of mules consisting majorly of struggling Igbo boys trying to feed and possibly make fast money will never change a thing.

They are inconsequential in the scheme of events.

Very right in all you've said, I also believe the Indian authorities are deliberately padding their stats with all these useless arrests.

Like you said, they need an inter governmental agency working with Interpol to go and fish out the big boys and girls.

thewinning101:
Yes. America is a white country. Why do you want tto turn it into another India or Pakistani?

If your village had a population of 20,000 people, will you accept the importation of 40000 Fulani herdsmen from Mali to live in your village in Ogun state?

What is wrong with his statement?

Oga, not one of the white people in the US, not one, is native to where the US is physically located.

Even Trump himself has German ancestry, I bet this Kirk guy has Irish or British ancestry.

If The US can be ok with the mass importation of Caucasians from Europe, then they should be ok with importation of other people's.

Of course, you wil conviniently ignore the fact that the Europeans practised a terrible genocide in getting rid of the original owners of the land. This happening after those owners helped the same Europeans when they initially arrived and were kpaing left and right due to unfamiliarity with the new terrain.

Dig deeper, you will see the hypocrisy of The Caucasian outlook to nationhood and immigration that you are propagating.

YouandiAllofus:
You guys should stop this childish attacks on the character of mr.Obi.
I supported his election campaign against Mr. Tinubu in the last election but right now I am in support of the Tinubu administration because I have seen that Mr. Tinubu is building a greater Nigeria. Although there is still plenty of room for improvement but I don't think that any other candidate could have done better either.

Whilst I am in agreement about childish attacks against Peter Obí needing to stop, Obidients also need to stop the childish attacks against other politicians for that to happen.

They can't go after other people and expect all to be quiet around Peter Obí, it is not done.

Mbanda:
From the look of things, it's obvious you don't know history that's why you're talking rots. For your info, Ojukwu and the elders and leaders of of the people you're calling "minorities or someone else" decided to secede and stay together so, get your facts right. Shame suppose to dey catch you for not knowing your history.

If I have no rights to invade the Midwestern region then, Nigeria don't have rights to invade the Biafra territory too. marriage is not suppose to be by force, you can't invade my territory and expect me to do nothing in retaliation.

You should ask Britain who gave them the right to create a country in this part of the world and to also introduce artificial boundaries in the name of states/region to separate them.

Yeye dey smell!

They Eastern minorities were coerced into Biafra, they were not given as much as the referendum that you guys are hypocritically now asking for. Why didn't you do unto others as you now want to be fine to you?

Elders and leaders indeed, would you accept a few unelected so called Ndigbo Elders and leaders making such important decisions for you? Most of the people in those minorities welcomed the Gowon creation of states that gave them greater political control over themselves instead of the Igbo yolk they were under in Easter Region. At least Western region gave Bendelites a referendum and accepted the results, una longer throat for oda pipo oyel nor gree una allow Eastern minorities comot.

They were forced into Biafra and you know it, there is a reason why a lot of them were celebrating every single time the Nigerian army chased Biafran army away from their cities and towns. A reason why Adaka Boro fought on the side of the Nigerian army and used his native knowledge of the creeks to dislodge the Biafran army. You see ya life for outside now.

Isn't it interesting that you had to conscript minorities in your Biafran army? Why didn't you give them the opportunity to say "Mba, we nor dey fight for una Ndigbo Biafra, we nor bí Ndigbo".

Was it the Midwest that invaded your wonderful Biafra, why didn't your Biafran army go and engage The Nigerian Army through the Benue Axis, turning right at Agbor, that they were coming in from? You'd rather cowardly come through a Benin that was already demillitarised and harass the innocent civilians, killing and maiming as you proceeded to Western Nigeria.

At the first sign of engaging the Nigerian Army, the same one you claim invaded your region, at that well known area of Eastern Region called Ọrẹ, the taste was slapped out of your big mouths and you had to turn tail.

Once more, go and ask The British why they lumped you in with the rest of us. I am sure they will have an answer for you.

Don't come here to misinform people about Biafra, it was an Ndigbo project and nothing to do with minorities. Also don't justify Biafran Army on Benin soil, it should never had happened.

A lot of people do not know the difference but;
Generally, the left wing is characterized by an emphasis on "ideas such as freedom, equality, fraternity, rights, progress, reform and internationalism" while the right wing is characterized by an emphasis on "notions such as authority, hierarchy, order, duty, tradition, reaction and nationalism".


Where do you Belong?
LEFT WING OR RIGHT WING

Left wing is to do with socialism and appreciating that those that never had anything also deserve the opportunities of those that have.

Right wing is all about self, screw others, I have it and don't care about those that never did.

When those that never had anything knock on your door as part of the revolution, eye go clear.

Throughout the years, right wingers have been mainly anti-abolitionists (slave trade), war mongers and hate filled against those that don't look like them.

I am proudly sitting on the left.

Open up a new party, tinubu will not allow you work with any existing party, that man is a coward, he doesn't want any opposition

This is all about PDP people rushing to ADC and not wanting to pay the full "Landing fee" like Peter Obí did at LP.

A Party you were not in 3 months ago, you all suddenly rush there to snap up juicy positions, are the people that were there before so useless that you must push all of them to the background?

Allowed dem too to see Atiku moni, bikonu.

Whilst I agree with this, Nnamdi Kanu screwed with the wrong people and will need to stay humble before he is released.

Shawarmagirl:
Peter Obi have been advised to give him Reno silent treatment. DEJI is still here cheesing cloud and attention to remains relevant with Obi name.

I personally am glad that no one is taking the other to court, however, why didn't Peter Obi give this guy the silent treatment in the first place, why threaten him first then not follow up.

This is the same thing that happened with Sahara Reporters, threaten to sue and then do fiamm, why not just be a man of your words and sue?

Mbanda:
But you ronus want the Eastern minorities to remain in Nigeria because of their oyel. You see your life?

Secondly, we invaded the Midwestern states because Nigeria brought war on our doorstep.

Did the British consult the people they labelled Nigeria today, before making them Nigerian?

You are the one that wants to breakaway, yet you can't stand on your own in doing so, you must take someone else and their oyel along. Dem dey forbid una to dey shame.

Secondly, you had no right to invade the Midwestern region, you should have respected the autonomy of that region, in the same manner that the Federal government did. Your sense of entitlement in justifying things like this is exactly why Ndi Yoruba are renaming streets amongst other things in showing you who indeed owns Lagos.

Finally, go and ask the British why they joined people together to firm Nigeria. I am sure they will give you an answer.

BlackViper:
Do you know that it is a criminal offence to lie to investors in order to get them to part with their money?

OK go and arrest him then.

You people must argue over every minutae sha.

I just wish Obi can be president of this country

Unfortunately, as long as his Obidients refuse to humble themselves, that will not happen.

Nigerians know how to respond to online bullies and they know it won't be by bowing to them.

Peterobiisathie:
we should be expecting more of this news as December is near

Whilst I see your sentiment, I don't think this is true in majority off these cases, these guys are small fry and have probably overstayed their visa so can't travel anyway.

They probably don't make enough money to feed themselves properly never mind sending money home to buy this or that in preparation for December, it is their handlers that make the money. The ones that know people at the Indian High commission to get them Visa's.

It is time the federal government did something about those handlers.
