Truer words have never been used！kudos to NNPP.

benuejosh:
bold of you to assume everyone on Nairaland is hungry. No everyone is like what your family is going through in the hands of poverty.

You actually sound childish,you want to throw your weight around in a forum where you can't ascertain who is who....Bill Gate we salute you！Your country is going down the drain and all you do is sycophancy because of crumbs from the table of your oppressors.A novelist once tagged people like you 'slaves that loves their chain'.

This government sponsored charlatan Okechukwu,that has nothing to do with Ohaneze but issues out statements on behalf of his sponsores that are begging for endorsement from every quarter.We all know that the nitwit that issued the statement is akin to the fake bishops that endorsed Tinubu before the elections.
Any statement that is not from Iwuanyanwu led Ohaneze Ndigbo is null and void.

Is it tested and trusted,how safe？....Sanwolou and his gang should be using it for the main time,i want to check something.

Jayhome24:
Kanu is unrepentant arrogant egocentric slowpoke that is why he is rotten in the cell right now.

We are igbos,we are strong will,we fight for what we believe in,even if is with the last drop of our blood,we dont live on opinion,we live on conviction.Its a cultural thing,woe to those who hates our guts,our antagonist are our helpers.We have a cultural advantage over others,when they squeeze others,they fold but when they squeeze us,we focus.

opamoses1:
If it was a market dominated by south eastern people, Peter Obi would have released 2 tweets by now. They would have been shouting victimization. Cry babies of Nigeria.

...is that the reason why your governor intentionally and consistently target people from other regions in his selective demolishment.Your people cannot grow bigger by bringing others down.

SuperEagles:
Kano voted Tinubu hold ebel Jonathan SE voted for not launching such in Ipobland

Olodo the joke is on you....Kano voted NNPP！

thatsleepboy1:
Why can't they launch these housing units in the south east? Always Kano, a good way to loot their share.

we know you are not Igbo,we know the slippery tribe that makes statements cowardly pretending to be others.

BarrElChapo:
Benson Idahosa that’s rotting in hell or another one 😂😂😂

Benson Idahosa reigned in Edo state yet, one of the state where traditional practices is most prevalent is the same Edo state. Smh

waooh...i didnt know you are 'God',you even know that Idahosa is rotting in hell！some of you should be careful how you talk,you may place curses on yourself.

Bullet01:
Balanced equation

Olodo how is it a balanced equation,if it were to be 14 newly appointed directors,about 8 or 9 will be Yorubas but now out of the 14 sacked directors,Yorubas are only 2 while Igbos that hardly ever get any appointment from the serial looting drug Lord got 5 disengagement.Your Yoruba president is a shame to this nation,while Wole Soyinka should hide his face in shame....i spit！

sleek214:
Not every time you reply a clown

keep quiet,never in the history of Nigeria have we witnessed this level of Outright nepotism,its a shame that APC can only offer pain,anguish,sorrow and hunger to Nigerians.Never in the history of Nigeria,have Nigerians been so divided on ethnic line.Buhari and Tinubu combined may take Nigeria 100yrs back.Its a shame that these two characters are the best APC can offer.

SoNature:
We may be jubilating that more and more Nigerians are getting empowered and will shape the future of this country. However, most of those people can only remember Nigeria if they see sincere people running this country. If not, both them and their offspring will become African Americans.

well said！

Given the right environment,Nigerians perform very well in whatever they strive for.They are the leading black nation in almost all fields of endeavor in the diaspora.

97 Medical Doctors Graduate from Harvard, 46 were Nigerians.

97 Medical Doctors Graduate from Harvard, 46 were Nigerians.
Nigerians especially the Igbos excel abroad because they get the right chance and conditions to pursue their destiny. This will equally happen to every Nigeria at home if our leaders are there for the people. Over the weekend the prestigious Harvard University saw the graduation of 97 medical doctors and 46 of them were Nigerians. This news did not go viral because it was no crime!

We still have reasons to make good news. You see how our government through misrule has placed the “Giant of Africa to be the mockery of Africa” Of the 27 awards of excellence given at the prestigious institutions graduation ceremony, 16 were claimed by Nigerian graduates- There is no doubt that Nigeria is truly blessed with a crop of young, vibrant and talented minds that continue to exhibit excellence in any part of the world where they find themselves.

Such is the case of 46 Nigerian students, who recently made the bulk of the 96 medical students that graduated from the prestigious Howard University in the United States of America (USA).

Even more interesting is the fact that out of 26 awards of excellence that were given out at the institutions graduation ceremony, 16 were claimed by hardworking and well-deserving Nigerian students. An elated Honorable Abike Dabiri-Erewa shared the news on her social media page.

We will recall that President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2018, appointed Abike Dabiri-Erewa as the first chairman and chief executive officer of the National Diaspora Commission. Ms. Dabiri-Erewa, was a member of the House of Representatives representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency in Lagos from 2003-2015.

Then Acting President Yemi Osibanjo signed the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission Establishment Bill into law in July 2017, a development that was widely welcomed as giving teeth to the government’s self-professed desire to partner its citizens abroad

They’ll call him a martyr and fight even harder for vengeance

Israel doing nothing but making more people hate them, literally

So Isreal shouldn't have killed him,he should be allowed to stay alive and commit more terrorist acts,is that your point？

One attitude i like in Obi most is his humility,in the word of a novelist,he has a way of 'turning tormentors into mentors'.
I have never hidden my respect for Prof. Wole Soyinka but i lost some,when as an elder stateman and a noble laureate,he critisized and antagonised everything GEJ government stood for and yet GEJ embraced him with open arms.As if that wasn't enough,he went personal with GEJs family,hurling all sorts of insult on the wife and even calling the wife of a sitting president a 'shippopotamus',and i thought that was the height of rascalism,obviously where some unguided youths learnt how to insult leaders.Then along came Peter Obi and it seems Wole was highered to almost always attack Peter Obi against a known serial certificate forger,whom has lots of baggages to deal with.All of a sudden Wole lost his voice,agreed,he owes Tinubu some gratitude,for watching his back when as a co member of NADECO during Abachas regime and afterwards the financial assistance granted to him. It seems Wole has now choosen the part of ignominy,he now stands the risk of losing all he has achieved as a human right crusader,indeed 'the man died'in all who keeps quiet in a period of social injustices,pronounced corruption and bad governance！

Soyinka as Okonkwo in “Things Fall Apart”

Val. Obienyem

Prof. Wole Soyinka is a distinguished Nigerian whose contributions to literature and politics are globally recognized. However, despite his achievements, he sometimes fails to heed that each profession, especially in his writings, has the moral obligation to be understood or keep quiet.

I read Soyinka's comments about Mr. Peter Obi with a heavy heart, troubled by the magnitude of his errors. How can somebody say Obi was not qualified to contest the Presidency? Anyone in Nigeria who does not understand or pretends not to understand that the Obidient movement is a spontaneous response to the country's problems is out of touch with reality. With the prevailing situation in the country, more of similar movements will surely emerge. Who is happy with Nigeria as it presently is? It is a sort of we-they group, made up of the oppressed and oppressors. Obidients are the oppressed Nigerians, which we thought Soyinka would have sealed his activism by identifying with.

During the lead-up to the 2023 Presidential election, Soyinka criticized Obi’s running mate, Sen. Yusuf Datti, and proposed a debate with him or any designated representative. In response, some of us arranged for Prof. Okey Ikechukwu to serve as the delegate for that purpose. Our rationale was straightforward: Ikechukwu, renowned for his civil discourse, would convey the essential points without resorting to provocative language. Even when his statements deliver a decisive impact(Knock-out-blow), they do not leave behind a trail of hostility.

This scenario reminded me of a symposium during my seminary days. We invited the elderly Mr. Sylvester Udunni to deliver the keynote address. Our teachers, led by Mr. Collins Okeke (now a priest), were eager to challenge him with their fresh philosophical insights, being newly minted from philosophical studies and eager to showcase their erudition. However, after Mr. Udunni finished his paper, he excused himself and left before any discussion began. The philosophical pundits were left with Mr. Borbert Oguegbu (Wasky of Nollywood) to spar with. We thoroughly enjoyed the lively debate and applauded the arguments like sturdy blows at the Olympics. However, Ikechukwu is a seasoned speaker and would take on anyone, however acclaimed, in an intellectual joust.

When we presented our debate plans to Mr. Obi, he laughed and asked if Prof. Okey Ikechukwu was aware of the arrangement. Misunderstanding his concern, I assured him that contacting Ikechukwu would not be a problem. Obi then expressed doubt that Ikechukwu would accept the debate under such circumstances.

Obi calmly explained, “Val, if your father called you stupid and challenged you to a debate, would you accept? It is highly disrespectful to debate Soyinka—not only because of his societal achievements but also because of his age.”

Obi's remarks about Soyinka were insightful, reflecting his reverence for both the man and old age. Having met with Soyinka several times, Soyinka should have a good understanding of his character by now. If Soyinka opposes people like Obi becoming president, it implies he believes the position should remain in the hands of brigands.

Part of the reason Okonkwo killed Ikemefuna, who called him father, was his fear of appearing cowardly. Why is Soyinka so determined to undermine Obi?

It is so unfortunate how things are done in this part of the world.When sound minds critisizes and pinpoints some irregularities on how these incompetent bunch are running this government,some ill-fed and slavish individuals whom are paid peanuts to be online day and night,will tag you an Obidient or IPOB. The effect is that every criticism is now seen from the prism of tribe and reason why Nigeria is constantly and consistently going down the drain.Respected characters like Wole Soyinka is even now becoming clannish....the question is 'who will bail the cat'？i fear for the future of this country,with a generation of tribalistic idi*ots.
The 'high-way of corruption',was quickly awarded without due delligence and process,this is an indication that there is more to it than the eye sees...posterity will be the judge.We have been long enough in Nigeria to tell when politicians are upto no good.

Rinu, Mr macaroni, falz, Hundeyin e.t.c.

you forgot MC Olumo the chief security officer

I have my reservations with such a building event of this magnitude being held in Lagos,where the tyrannical,nepotistic and myopic governor that represents nothing but destruction,a man whom stands as the biggest obstacle to private investment on properties in Lagos.No reasonable modern property investor would want to invest his hard earn money in an environment of uncertainties and inconsistent policies. More like the reason TotalEnergies gave as why they choose huge investment in Angola over Nigeria.
Anyway,thanks to the idi*tic Sanwolu, more states in the southeast and south-south are now besieged by lots of huge property investors whom left Lagos,including others from the diaspora community are now doing the needful.His bitter timidity is now benefiting other states,God surely do work in a mysterious way.

Guys for real,Anambra is in a class of its own...Peter Obi's template must be replicated nationwide,a new Nigeria is possible.

Sannisege:
Give me Soludo over Peter Obi any day anytime.

By the time his given to you as a presidential candidate,you and your tribes men will tag him an IPOB member...keep your love.Yeye dey smell！

Audio ratings！

helinues:
Na how many local government staff go now remain in the state when 200+ already got fired for possessing fake certificates? How many are yet to be detected?

Na miracle exams centres we dey talk before, fake certificates don follow join.

Toh

If such an excercise is honestly carried out in the South West of Nigeria,about 85% of the work force will be affected.This is the region 'Oluwole' certificate originated from. When in the good old days when they rest of Nigeria was practicing meritocracy,they Yorubas had since invented 'Oluwole certificate',

We appreciate your sacrifices and we know that you died for a nation that hardly appreciates true sacrifices but the labour of our heros past shall never be in vain....may you never hand over a flag that is stained in blood to the coming generation.I salute your courage ！It takes audacity to be a soldier,when others are playing with their wives and girl friends,you are in the jungle.While others are rumming,you are dodging bullets and some are bitten by reptiles.When others are sleeping,you watch over the city gates.When politicians are looting the treasury and embarking on expensive holidays,you are taken as a prisoner of war...in all this,you hardly retreats nor surrenders,just for the love of your nation.Once more,I salute your courage.

...just what if we have a body that conducts a dope test for politicians before ascending to the seat of presidency,do you think that certain characters could have been the president today？Your guess is as good as mine.

rantingpigs:


Did you not see how Makinde dealt with Yoruba nation agitators without waiting for the Federal Government? Do you not see how Amotekun fish out bandits and kidnappers more effectively than the Nigerian Police Force? Abi mo paro?

Answer: Fulani Herdsmen killed Three OBAs and also kidnapped and killed people recently, in that same Ibadan .Where are the amutekun brigade ? Where is Sunday IGBOHO? Why is he not in Prison like Nnamdi KANU. That alone shows that Yoruba Agitation is a big JOKE.

Yoruba Nation Agitators are a performed skit directed by the same APC loyalist that want to threaten the North. What has happened to those that were captured? Imagine Army seeing them, hearing the gunshots and not killing them? Nobody is foolish as you. What a joker.

And that is why what is happening in Rivers State can never occur in the Southwest, and what we see in Anambra, Abia, and Imo is unheard of among the Yoruba. The Ganduje-Kwankwaso struggle is almost impossible in the Southwest


Answer: Seyi Makinde fought with Amosun. Oyetola is still fighting with Adeleke. The Governor of KWARA is still fighting Saraki. In OGUN the citizens themselves are fighting Dapo Abiodun. In ONDO there is internal strife everywhere. Lagos, is calm because they all united against their fear of IGBO economic and property domination.

Now I ask this worthless guy. What is so special about the region?

All I know is that the insectiri inbuilt in the DNA of a worthless loser like RENO is pathetic. That is why Bayo Onanuga will never allow you be a spokesman for the most useless Government in the history of that useless entrapment.

What happened to FREE LEAH Shuaibu? You don tire abi,? After you use the girl cash out...

Nonsense and worthless Reno. The man that insulted TINUBU the most , but is now looking for recognition from those he insulted. Truly RENO is a certified dunce.

RONU.

Bruv ,you are too intelligent to respond to that nitwit nobody Reno...but you gave him a savage response.I doff my cap for you.

So this is how Yoruba's lost illorin to the Gambari's.....losing ones native land is the worst thing that can happen to any people.
My heart bleeds！

WorldRichest:
Yet, 95% of Anambra indegenes are slaving in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Abuja, Kano and Rivers states. Stop deceiving yourself.

You may need your dictionary to know the difference between lording over your land and slaving.😜😜
Meanwhile congrats to Coscharis

gidgiddy:
My fellow Igbos, there's a saying that "Onye Ajulu adighi aju onwe ya". It's is about two weeks to the 30th of May. I enjoin all of you to observe 30th May in remembrance of our war dead. Those who fought or died in the war foresaw that the British colonial system of oppression and injustice known as Nigeria would never work, but only go from bad to worse. Time has since proved them right.


Remember those we lost in our noble quest for freedom, honour them, and say a prayer for souls.

Chukwu dube anyi

bruv i will...'the blood of the innocent waters the trees of freedom'.

...'the tragedy of a nation'.

sadiqbabasani knows better, even with Gringory’s 99% support in Eastern Nigeria last election, he still fell short.

You need not go far,mention Tinubu in the North and i can assure you that you must be on a suicide mission,when his wack economic policies has wrecked,impoverish and strangulated whatever is left of the people.In a dying economy your serial looting brother is borrowing and embarking on elephant projects with the sole aim of looting as usual.'Edo No be Lagos',if you know u know.
