We must come out and applaud Governor Soludo for his economic prowess, sincerity and bravery in every position he has ever led.

Regardless of the fact that he belongs to a group of ethnocentric group. You cannot lump everybody together.

Watch out for his competent work in Anambra leading to a higher position in Nigeria.

Homeless kids invade South West By Lasisi Olagunju

(Nigerian Tribune on Monday, 10 June, 2024)

"A large percentage of them are from Niger Republic, Mali, and Chad." The six South-West states are being overrun by an army of homeless young men of unknown address and of mystery background.

Some snakes have beauty; their nimbleness their strength. But these ones in every neighbourhood are not pretty snakes; their presence is ugly. They enter in anonymity, like an invalid, their fangs invisible. .

The problem of millions of the homeless migrating "from Niger Republic", from "Mali, and Chad" - from everywhere - into the South-West has just started. The flood won't stop unless the state is mended, and the elite shows genuine care and the leaky dam is repaired. Danger tottering on the brink of disaster should scare and worry everyone. A hurricane is coming.

Why Does Everyone From Nigeria and Outside Go To Western Nigeria? Then claim poverty is higher in the West.

Seriously, the political situation with NdiIgbo since the advent of IPOB has deteriorated. Their supporters within have been divided.

Their supporters outside have dwindled. If they can abuse Fajuyi, Soyinka and Banjo as traitors, who else do they have?

Remember that most of their richest made it in the West, today they scorn and abuse their benefactor. Who and where else can accommodate them.

Sad.

Madam, you never heard about those who go to Arab countries to open their mouths for shit. The video was too painful to watch. In Libya they hit your head and harvest your organs. All in the name japa!

Abi nah lie?

Bridget95:
Your mouth is being shut against any protests here while the value of your savings in the bank depreciate every minute. Literally, you are forcefully being blunged into poverty whole you sing the praise of the government that is against you.

Receive sense, everything or criticism isn't political all the time

Please focus on the topic. Do not turn it into ethnic batter.

RodgersAkpafu:
you missed the point
in 100 years we are going to have AT most 26 presidents
what is the chance that anyone of us will be that 26?

2023 aftermath showed it
so let's not pretend

My buroda do not derail this topic. If you want to go or japa please do.

Do not cry yourself to death like Azikiwe who would rather be the Premier of Western Region rather than Executive Prime Minister of Nigeria given to him on a silver platter.

the point I made flew over your head because to be frank with you, you don't sound too intelligent

Its one thing for the seat to be elusive to most of us (expected)
it is another thing for you to be a part of a country you or someone of your ethnic stock cannot lead virtue of ETHNICITY ALONE.....
I am not a politically correct person
I say it as it is
a substantial population of Nigerians believe that those of igbo extraction are by default disqualified from leading this country
you know it
I know it
2023 aftermath showed it
so let's not pretend

Chei, see delusional ambition that force gullible folks abroad. He is more pained that he cannot lead Nigeria because he is Igbo. How many Benin, Igbira, Ibibibio or Efik etc have led Nigeria!

Igbo have not only led Nigeria, they have led World Court, World Health Organization(s), West East and other countries in various fields. Check you history bro.

I think you should be more worried about Eru, Oru, Osu all over Nigeria that made success out of themselves unlike in Europe and America.

What is this one talking about ?

Heck, there are white bus drivers in Suffolk who think they are superior (in their delusion) to Rishi Sunak, somebody who went to Winchester oooo.

but the opportunities available to people who are ready to put in their all here is limitless. You just need to put in the work.
By virtue of my ethnic group in Nigeria (igbo) I am already on that ground alone disqualified to lead Nigeria in the minds of a significant part of the population .
why then should I worry about what a hungry white person thinks about me here when even in my country of origin people are still tribalistic towards me

Suella Braveman, Kevin Badernoch, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel, Savii Javid, Kwasi Kwarteng and the list goes on and on all got to the pinnacle of the British society despite being minorities

Mo Ibrahim and Strive Masiyiwa are billionaires in pounds in this same UK
what of the many multimillionaire blacks that are just hiding themselves ?
or the many Indian billionaires families here

forget all that talk u are talking

Bridget95:
You guys don't like hearing people travelling out to help themselves. You want everyone to remain and eat the shit from this government

You will eat worse shit abroad and peacefully too pretending you enjoy it. All your loud mouth against any government in power will be shut tight. It is then you will realize that it takes less effort to fight government at home than abroad where you don't belong.

Some of you may be right if you believe the reason you cannot do well in Nigeria is because you are a second class citizen.

As a second class, even not a member of privileged class, you will miss your village when you realize you belong to the LAST class.

I agree that money and food means a lot. But how good is that money and food you cannot enjoy? If you think looking down on you despite your classy house and cars is fun, ask yourself how sweet it is as an African that brags because your children, families and friends, at least give you respect as a man in Africa

Compared to a place where they look down on you despite your clean hardwork for your success. Even when you become the head of the dog catcher with all your degrees, watch your back constantly because many cannot wait to replace you with less qualifications. Wondering how you got the leadership position in the first place.

No need to talk about lost children, wife and dear culture you would come to appreciate in Africa when it is too late. I pity those who japa after age 30 more.

Even untouchables have more pride in Africa with success. But desperation in Africa, turns hell into paradise abroad. Goodluck!

Money, money, money has turned most into beasts.

I hope you know IRS is watching o!

Spend it well, not like drunken sailor

Banks are commercial enterprises that trade on people’s savings by lending out to borrowers at predetermined interest rates. When the interest rates get too high, it dampens business activities discouraging those who want to start businesses and employ workers. Low interest rates encourage the society and spur commercial activities. The interest rates are so high in many African countries, you wonder who can afford to borrow from banks, make enough profit in order to pay back.

https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/335316/our-currency-in-warehouse-grave-vault-depreciate-bureau-de.html

If banks and financial houses are not able to borrow, the banks cannot make a profit from people’s savings. So the banks and financial houses are raided by unscrupulous businesses and politicians. When these banks are no longer viable and they go bankrupt, people lose their life savings. Unfortunately, new generation banks are not in the business of savings and lending but into attracting life savings with high rates of return and looted hidden local currency. Once they gather enough to share within, they liquidate and ask for a government bailout.

Is there a difference between Peter Obi drug career including the use of drug mules like Chinenye languishing in Asian jail and Tinubu as a drug dealer in Chicago.

Do you guys prefer one brand of cocaine sold by Peter Obi to that sold by Tinubu?

Nobody dictate to Lagosians. Western Region is a political region. They are YORUBA and Lagosians are Yoruba period.

There are Yoruba beyond Lagos and Western Region. They all relate to IFE.

Geographically, no matter how you cut it, Lagos called Eko by the Atlantic and another Eko in Ekiti are Yoruba enclaves.

Let us thank and celebrate Pat Utomi.

He saved Oba Eko from Yoruba!

The man get Hercules pawa, no be small.

In retrospect, Obasanjo would have done better than any of these failures after him.

But think deep. It is a shame that Nigeria has not been able to produce a better President after OBJ.

Before Obasanjo, we had conscientious leaders as the best President we never had.

Even Tafawa Balewa and Gowon were better than the failures we've had.

There could be a hidden space for the conductor only but probably not for number two, just for urine in a bottle 🍼

Well, they are married, sealed and delivered.

But what is the big show on social media for? Especially in a country where men and young ladies are becoming more desperate. We need to be more humble and stop celebrating poverty.

What is all this wahala about dowry in this day of unstable marriage, DNA, money money money!

There are still simple marriages for love and friendship without enriching families and villages.

Dowry today is about tokens to honor tradition. Nobody sells the daughter anymore. Some of these ladies can buy a man and his family, well informed, self sufficient but need a loving partner in their lives.

There was this traditional ceremony where they kept asking for more and more. The daughter had to pass money to the husband to satisfy her families.

Some of the reasons for brutality and violence in marriages have to do with heavy investment on the lady for everlasting partner that turns out to be a complete disaster as a wife or husband.

There are exceptions but if a man or women is good and sincere to the partner, he or she would be kind to the partner's family. Grateful for good upbringing.

Dowry is to honor tradition not to take a man to the cleaners. The same is true of expensive wedding ceremony that leaves couples broke. Some do not even have enough to eat the day after

Why? Just to fulfill expectations of friends and families.

Ai begi, go res.

So many things go on in the country, to get a hard on self na wahala unless you get a good man or lady.

Ashewo curvy ladies plenty for town nah!

This frienemy claimed he is boiling mad at Looters of Naira, Euros and Dollars because he has no access or the privilege to loot.

If he does, he would loot recklessly like those privileged to. He would also flood the market and Bureau du Change whenever he can to get foreign currencies.

Nigerians, is this who we really are but cry murder because we cannot get our share.

Why blame the other guy?

Who loves the country!

SLAVE!

Righteousness2:
Good one for cuppy meeting the King of the United kingdom.

Very soon there is gonna be a ROYAL MEETING like no other ever.

I am talking about the Meeting with the KING OF kings,
THE KING OF GLORY.
THE KING OF POWER.

OH my GOD! Its gonna be Joy, Jubilation, Happiness , celebrations etc Forever and Ever.

Get ready Folks! Live Ready!
KING JESUS CHRIST IS COMING!!

Praise the Lord?
Praise Jesus?

No wonder they sacrificed your types and bury you with dead kings and queens to serve them in heaven.

These may scare little kids. Don't show them.

The problem is once you reject your culture, you become an idle and empty hand that makes it easier for the devil to occupy.

Who practice witchcraft, idol worship and practise fetish cannibalism more than Europeans and Americans.

budaatum:
Reminds me of my great great grandmother who was told that woman was formed from the rib of man. She dragged that man to the next give birth to show where males and females come from.

You've already abandoned your culture when you abandon your gods. But only a fool would worship Ogun instead of picking up a book.

Nigerians now feel entitled to success because they look up to looters waiting for Baba to pick up their call.

If you do not appreciate little things in life, when you are blessed with bigger things, you see it as a curse. You will be unhappy no matter how much you get like your looters.

This is another poor example of misinformation.

This guy have never heard YORUBA playing Igbo music since the days of Eddie Okonta, Osadebe and today my beloved Chike.

He does not know of one Igbo Church attended by YORUBA even when many of the Catholic churches have Igbo Rev. Fathers.

Poor you, fathom pain go kill you die

Decency has left the homes of many people. This is not a case to be made fun of, body shamed or turn into ethnic batter.

I have never seen anyone anywhere hold on hell bent, not even in Europe or America, on Lagos another man's land, as those without history or relationship with Lagosians. This is infatuation.

But then, West is the only place they are tolerated and accommodated. Mind you, these are people who would not even tolerate their relatives in the same Region.

This is shameful and embarrassing to them.
