madampresh:Your statement is painting half the truth. The WHOLE TRUTH is Everybody in Nigeria is corrupt. Toilet Cleaner that steals tissue papers; Gateman that collects bribes to let you in to submit your application; Clerk/Worker that will not process your file unless you pay; Tax Collectors that prints their own receipts; EFCC, ICPC, Courts, Police, Custom, Immigration, Prison, NDLEA officers; Bank workers and their POS Operators; Pastors, Imams, Babalawos all lying to get money; Petrol Station Attendants; Yahoo Boys and Girls and their parents; Journalist that collect Brown Envelops to publish stories or to distort stories. The list can go on and on and on until we get to everybody in every facet of life in Nigeria. All those mentioned are not Political Office holders. WE ALL ABUSE WHATEVER POWER WE HAVE FOR MONETARY GAINS. THAT IS CORRUPTION. The most corrupt, in my opinion, are those that collect egunje to vote for political candidates. They are saying to the politicians - give my share now, you can go and recoup with interest in any form you chose over the next 4 year. Until we all accept responsibility and stop passing the blame to others or people in power, we are moving nowhere. A school of political thought says "The Leadership is a reflection of the Followership". This is premised on the fact that the Leadership is a subset of the Followership. In a simpler term. The Leaders are selected from the Followers. |
colorsofrainbow:Again, I will state you Igbos live in a delusional world that only you can understand. Was it BAT that categorized IPOB as a terrorist group? Again, was it BAT that ranked IPOB as the 10th deadliest group? You are just looking for figment of your imagination to excuse your failure in the elections. Like one of the coomentators on this post asked, is this good news? IPOB was never declassified as terrorist group, does it matter whether the group is ranked no 1, 10 or 100? A terrorist group is a terrorist group. Live with that. |
SenatePresdo:In total agreement with you on this. But nobody should put any tribal or political connotations or colourations if any man be arrested, be Tinubu, Obi or Atiku for incitements or treasonous comments. |
SenatePresdo:What incitements? If the police, who are authorized to arrest deem his statements to inciting, he should be be arrested. Again going the the laws, you are not the police or DSS to make that call. |
SenatePresdo:As much you would like think, the truth is there is no one above the laws of Nigeria. If Obi, Tunibu or Atiku run foul of the laws, they should be arrested and prosecuted. Remove the glasses of tribalism that is beclouding your thinking. |
ochejoseph:You have never validated any election excerpt those you or your party won, so why is this news? |
Yorubalandlord:You Igbos can keep deluding yourself. By saying you “want to conquer’, are you not declaring a war? Are you not declaring war when you say the ancestral land of a people is a “no-man’s-land’? Where was Iwuanyanwu and co when these narratives were been pushed on the social media? Where were they when Kanu and IPOBs drove the destruction of infrastructures in Lagos state during the #endsars? Not a single call-to-order nor condemnation of all these by Ohanaeze. Now that Yorubas are reacting, you are pushing this narrative of no-war. Can any Yoruba man say he wants to install Obas in Igboland that will be equal status with the Ezes? Can any tribe call Onitsha, Kaduna or PortHarcourt a no-man’s-land? I think there can only be peace when everyone respects each other. You cannot come to someone’s land and heap insult on the landlord (aborigines), it always end in war. The war will only end when the aborigines are CONQUERED. That is why Yorubas see the saying of ‘conquer Lagos’ by the Igbos as nothing but WAR. |
layzie:It is you that should go and sleep because you can't counter my response. It is my afternoon here, so it is not time for sleep for me. You can deduce where I am based. |
layzie:I repeat, anyone, irrespective of location (Lagos/Enugu/Kano/PHC), that votes on the basis of religion and/or ethnicity is NOT in his/her right senses. Again, anyone that rates Obi 8 year governorship performance ABOVE that of BAT needs his/her head examined. |
layzie:Any person that voted on the basis of religion and/or ethnicity is not in his/her right senses. Ignoring performance or history of performance to vote on religious or tribal ground is the height of stupidity. That is one of the major cause of problems in Nigeria today. We are not looking at party ideologies nor performance records of candidates, all most care for is peanuts doled-out during campaigns, this candidate is from my tribe or religion, yet we expect performance. We keep fooling ourselves. In the developed or developing worlds, nobody cares for where are from, it is all about Party Ideologies and performance records. Back to BAT and OBI, look at their performance records and tell me which one should any SANE person should vote for. I did not talk about parties because we do not have political parties in Nigeria. That is why a politician can be APC today and move to PDP tomorrow, why someone can be APGA governor, a PDP VP candidate and an LP presidential candidate why one win an election on the platform of PDP and change to APC after some years in office. |
layzie:Again you missed the point. Most of the Yorubas Christains that voted Obi did so because they were againt Muslim-Muslim ticket. No one in his right senses cannot believe in Obi more than BAT base on their 8 years as governors and post- governorship contributions. |
layzie:You missed the point. No, I never said Igbos were not the only people that voted LP (Obi) in the presidential elections. A lot of Yoruba and some Hausa Christians voted for him, but Igbos were the only people that voted 97% for their kinsman. Now, the same platform (LP) that that kinsman ran on could only struggle to produce 1 Governor in the same Igboland. Like a typical Igboman, with your warped, screwed and scewed sense of entitlement, that you were boasting that “Igbos will conquer Lagos” does not stroke ethnic tension to you, that “Lagos is a no-man’s-land” does not neither is “installing Ezes of equal status with Yoruba Obas”. Of course, Kanu directing Igbos to burn down BRT buses and to destroy every infrastructure in Lagos during #endears did not amount to stroking ethnic tension. It is only stroking ethnic tension when it does not favour Igbos. I say it again, shame on you Igbos. |
OEPHIUS:With all the noise on Social media about rigging in Lagos state, with over 97% SE votes in the presidential elections, LP could only win 1 state in governorship elections in the SE. What a shame for the Igbos. You were not interested in LP, you only voted ethnocentrically in the presidential election. |
millhouse:Sure, he did win Lagos because of informed/uninformed Yoruba Religious fanatics and some Young Yorubas who DID NOT understand the true intentions of the Igbos. But then, it is all part of the calculations. BAT did not need to win all the states, all he needed was win some and come send in the SW and the North. That was what won him the presidency. To go for a Muslim-Christian ticket would have won him Lagos but cost him dearly in the North. In Chess, it is called, a Knight for a Queen Strategy is the keyword. Not making noise on Social Media. |
nedu666:Of course they knew he will play the tribal and religious game. Why do think BAT went for MUSLIM-MUSLIM? You think he was stupid? Go and have the understanding the very basics of Nigeria Politics (POL-101). |
Thanksful:Error: PAWNS CANNOT win a game. Fact: PAWNS are ONLY USED by MASTERS to win games. This time OBI is the PAWN and BAT is the MASTER. |
Copied. Pat Utomi is the man Tinubu used to break PDP. He was the one that took Obi to Labour Party. He was the one that assured Obi that he will run for Presidency under LP, he was with Obi everywhere. *If Obi had remained in PDP, Atiku would have won the election. It was important for the Asiwaju camp that Obi becomes independent. After the election have you seen Pat Utomi with Obi again?.* Wait for his appointment under this administration. He is tipped to Head the Economic Revitalization office alongside Sanusi Lamido. What do you know?. When we call Jagaban a strategist you will be making noise. *SE was the battleground, Obi was the main pawn, Igbo Presidency was the bait, Obidients were the foot soldiers, Atiku was the loser, Pat Utomi was the facilitor, Asiwaju is the General.* *JAGABAN THE GAME MASTER.* *copied from another platform* |
TOPE POPOOLA- Comments on Facebook post of Moyo Okediji. I know from comments here that a great deal of commentators either don't live in Nigeria or are elites who choose to live in denial. The Presidential election result in Lagos was a major shift in the political calculus of Nigeria. Those who voted massively for Obi and LP did so across ethnic divides. I have 2 children in Lagos. They are both Obidients. From VI, Lekki, Ikeja, youths voted massively for Obi and probably would have done same for GRV. As soon as the result was announced, the GLOATING and the BOASTING began. You need to see the virulence of it on Twitter. It was no longer about the intended shift or making a point against establishment. It suddenly became an ethnic thing, a victory for the power and influence of Ndigbo in Lagos. Some even brazenly made videos to that effect and the "no man's land" refrain suddenly started gaining traction. I was appalled by it all. I knew it would not end well. I saw many of those tweets and videos. One of my sons told me that some of the things he heard from Igbo guys made him regret casting his vote for Obi. There is no smoke without fire. It us interesting that when Yoruba people started responding to the unabashed provocation, the ethnic baiting started. If I cannot control the ferocity of your slap on my face, you cannot control the viciousness of my reaction. It's so unfortunate that an eye for an eye only makes everyone go blind! Many of us are in foreign lands that have accommodated us without caring where we come from. Sometimes, we still struggle with racism even when we hold the passports of our host nations. Nonetheless, we dare not stand and abuse the sensibilities of our hosts. That is the issue here and should be divorced from blatant ethnicity and tribal bigotry. How come we didn't have all of these outrages till after election? And it is NOT because Tinubu lost to Obi in Lagos. That was made possible by people who just needed a change in Lagos. LP would probably have repeated that feat but for the issue I mentioned above. Prof and I were contemporaries in College and in our days, tribe and ethnicity were never issues. To a large extent, many Nigerians still think that way, especially in the SW where Ndigbo and other tribe's have been given ample room to flourish. I asked an Igbo friend to mention ONE Yoruba man who has one acre of land to his name in his part of Igboland. He could not. Those who come to equity must always approach the table with clean hands. Igbos have thrived and continue to thrive unmolested in Lagos. They continue to contribute significantly to its economy. Ndigbo who mean well should address those who are stoking the fires among their elite, rather than complain about the attendant conflagration. Deal with the cause, the consequence will be taken care of. Almost every Igbo person I attempted to engage in conversation on the candidacy of Obi when I was trying to decide who to support, responded with anger, attacks on my person and evidently ethnic slurs rather than reason. I had to DELIBERATELY rise above those pedantic narratives. During #endsars, Nnamdi Kanu was on social media and Radio Bi.afra supervising and commanding the burning of BRT and public infrastructure in Lagos. I heard it myself, and people were calling him to update him as the they burnt down buses and police stations. He was particular and emphatic about Lagos and overrunning the city. I was shocked but, as a die-hard nationalist, I simply shrugged it off as the rantings of a deluded agitator. Lt.Col Victor Banjo, a Yoruba man was Ojukwu's friend and fought on the side of Biafra during the Civil War. He led many offensives against Federal troops and led the onslaught that captured the then Midwest. Then Ojukwu ordered him to proceed and take Lagos. Banjo refused that order. He was invited back to Enugu and Ojukwu personally supervised his execution as a traitor to the Biafran cause. I believe the last election only acted as a pin that pricked an inflated balloon. The question in my mind in all of these is, *"WHY THE OBSESSION WITH LAGOS?"*🤔 |
socialmediaman: |
Mraphel:Why are you saying he should not cry? Honestly he can rant and cry all he wants, he is entitled to that. The fact is the more he and his likes cry, the more we rejoice. In Wike’s words, “as e dey pain them, e dey sweet us”. |
franchasofficia:Can you read? If you can read, do you comprehend what you read? Are you so delusional that your brain is not functioning at all? Go on, take over Lagos - The No-man’s-land. You bigotry, self-entitled IPOB muffins. |
nwekeugochukwu: |
Massiveglory:Keep on ranting your delusional thoughts. E dey sweet us. |
Acidosis:As e dey pain you Zombients, supporters of Social Media President, e dey sweet we supporters of BAT, the President-Elect of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Honestly, the ranting of the likes of you on Social media is a sweet and soothing music to the like of us. Long live BAT Long live APC Long live Nigeria. |
bdon123:If my name and my responses make you think of a cow, you just confirmed you need a brain. You presently don't have any brain. Unfortunately you can't know because you don't have any. |
bdon123:If you can not reason that when I mention, Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani, I am not talking of individuals but of collective group of people, then you need a new brain. I get it, like typically Zombidients, you have no brain at all. |
bdon123:97% of SE with a Celine ..... signing for everyone including the Returing Office on the Election Report forms? You IPOBs are even follishly arrogant in your rigging. You need to face the reality of the fact that 90% of your polling boot demonated by IPOBs like you voted Obi does not translate to Hausas/Fulanis voted for Obi. Common, get yourself a brain. |
bdon123:BAT and Atiku scored almost zero in the SE with Obi scoring almost 97% - if that is not rigging, it then clearly shows how tribalistic the Igbos are. SS was a different ball game with Wike dominating the polity and donating Rivers to BAT. Without Wike, BAT has the chance of ‘snow in hell” of winning anything from Rivers. Other SS states which were traditionally PDP states were shared between PDP and LP with BAT scraping 25% in a few. |
bdon123:So Lagos state that BAT built the foundation, the HQ of Yorubas, lost to LP? If the election is repeated 10 times, we will get the same result. BAT will take the SW, OBI will take the SS and SE, BAT and Atiku will share the North while OBI will score almost ZERO there. This is based on the simple ground that NO HAUSA/FULANI MAN WILL VOTE FOR AN IGBO CATHOLIC AGAINST A MUSLIM-MUSLIM COMBINATION. BAT was not stupid when he went for a Muslim VP. He goaded Obi into towing a tribalistic and religious campaign which alienated him in the North. You Zombidients shout for nothing on social media without a basic understanding Nigeria Politics (POL-101). |
25 years after Abacha died, his name still sounds creepy and evil. This shall be the lot of you political bas.tards.
