Dangote refinery was celebrated like it was next big thing after garri. Dignitaries graced the occasion. Buhari removed subsidy to make sure his refinery thrive.

Innoson has been producing cars. Call it assembled cars but it was done in Nigeria. FG that championed made in Nigeria has never patronised Innoson because he is from a particular tribe they don't wish to grow.

But Innoson is fulfilling orders and exporting his machines to other African countries and even some non-African countries , do you think he'll be able to do that without the proper support of the FG..

Nigerians in different parts of the country are buying Innoson's products & even ministries are buying coaster busses from Innoson .. what'll you say to that ?

Playing the Victim card is accepting defeat before even fighting.

This victims game is bland & don't work nomo..

Then live like your ancestors leave twitter dont use phone, electricity, cars etc iys human nature to evolve your ancestors give you knowledge to add to what you acquire not get stuck on the knowledge they acquired.
Even your ancestors did live in caves like thier own ancestors did

My own ancestors didn’t live in caves… and I don’t need a degree in biology to know that it was the then Neanderthals that lived in caves…

Homo sapiens didn’t live in caves cos if they lived in caves they won’t be called Sapiens

Nigerians are still one of the most educated citizens in the world today but still we don’t produce our own food or other products that we consume.. so you can see that so-called western “education” doesn’t necessarily mean emancipation..

Most of what we consume in Nigeria today are imported from china or other nations with an emancipatory type of mindset & education that gears then towards production & exporting of homemade products… in fact some of these folks don’t even speak English neither do they use twitter or instagram

If most Nigerians (Africans) embody the cultural social , economical and political thinking of their ancestors which was geared towards TRUE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE and in a way that it’s developed to adapt to the modern world the entire black race would have been in a better position of global respect, productivity, dignity , identity and power..

Remember our ancestors didn’t need to receive foreign aid and grants before they were able to build fully functional Africans societies.. and by current standards they’ll be arrogantly deemed as “uneducated” or “uncivilized”

The white man’s western education (and of course his technology, language & religion) is not in itself a determining factor for intelligence or freedom, rather the ability of a people to accept and identify with their roots, race, culture and heritage will enable them to chart an organized course for present and future survival & self sufficiency for themselves which in essence will make them an intelligent people …

Intelligence is about deploying the necessary tools , skill or whatever leverage that can ensure the survival of an individual, an ethnic group and a race not just about how much foreign education they get or how many foreign languages they can speak or how much is in their Bank accounts or cars or phones or social media platforms …

internationalman:
Even a warfront Ukraine is more orderly and peaceful than Nigeria.

Nigeria can never ever develope because the mindset of the average citizen is archaic.

An academically uneducated White man mentality is more refined than the educated Nigerians..

Development starts with the perception of things in our minds.

Finally, human development is what will give birth to all other basic development.

Speak for yourself bro I have seen many uneducated folks who reason & analyze better then most so-called “educated” folk and this is simply cos they deploy native wisdom , common sense & an open minded approach to life ..

Our ancestors without western “ education” were still able to bequeath on us cultural legacy rich in Wisdom that lasted and will last through the ages of time

I won’t even bring the white man into this topic and then compare him to my race. We existed before the white man was created and we’ll continue to exist and flourish after he’s long gone

Many uneducated Africans are even more mentally refined then so-called educated white men , because we have an intelligent culture which is in tune with nature ..

E clear

Nice

Sadly the United states ain't a beacon of democracy..

Y'all drop off from that illusion

hmm..

Beremx:
That's normal for him to call the INEC selected President. It doesn't stop Peter Obi from reclaiming his mandate 😎😎😎

Yes you're right, Peter Obi will even contest for USA presidency in future after ruling Nigeria ..

I agree with you mummy

Na to relocate to Ekiti

All i know is only cowards like the Yoruba makes the statement. Dont deny your tribe, its written all over you.


Today Nigeria is regarded as common wealth country by britain, go and ask britain or the american why they left their land to other people land.

You yorubas live in the prism of your delusion thinking only your region is developing. Apart from lagos, you guys cannot boast of any SW STATE, even the Oyo empire that was there before the british colonization. Very shameful.

Coward, we will all die one day, but dieing with a purpose is all there is to life.

The war was fought and we stood our ground, no sensible igbo has even regretted.

It is something that will be talked about long before you die and your forebearers die too.

The igbos will forever be known in the history of Nigeria and the future of Nigeria.

Every day, you see one thread or twitter trending on igbos, why do you think so?

We are formidable.

Final note:

Keep living in your hut and crying a river on how the igbos are doing this or that. Keep being envious, it will choke you up.

Envying Ibos ? Haha..that a dumbest thing to do in 2023..you should be bragging to maybe the TIVs or the igallas... you folks ain't even close to the Benin Kingdom .. Yoruba ain't yo mate...we far beyond your reach meathead.

.
Europeans INVADED other pples lands & history is replete with European acts of inhumanity , settler colonialism & genocide against indigenous peoples whose land they grabbed through violence..is this the basis you use to justify igbo economic itinerance ? Damn your a f*cking dopey .. try that sh*t in the SS and see what happens

We ain't mates and I ain't gon argue with you. It's not about the empire per se ...it's about the people's ability to establish a civilization, building cultural values in all aspects of human endeavour & their capacity to organise....Yoruba is a nation & not a tribe dumb*ass



We don't care about other pples region, if you like develop or not that's yo cup of tea..fyi twitter trends or IG reels don't develop a people dopey

Yes your right , ibos will be remembered for getting they necks broken while being led to perdition by a man with an oversized ego ... forebears will learn from y'all so they don't get driven to failure & political insignificance

I can see the formidable leader hightailing it to Uli & the Formidable MNK Sitting in kuje prison..

Haha..y'all got no direction

Bigchristo:
Let me bring you back to your senses a little, first I am not an Igbo or from southeast, secondly Ohaneze Indigbo is a social cultural group in the South East and don’t entirely represent the Igbo’s it’s not traditional ruler thing as you claimed in your message so whatever you are thinking always learn to differentiate between South South and South East so you will not sound stupid while making your opinion if we actually go into the traditional rulers who make outrageous utterances about other tribes Southwest traditional rulers are doing the most have you forgot when an Oba in Lagos tell Igbos to jump into lagoon? however Oba of Benin is a wise man like you said and also if a Benin man with a questionable source of income or having a questionable behavior tries to run for office believe me beninis will distance themselves from such person they won’t support him no matter who that person.

Lie..only group getting hard knocks by SW TL are the Igbos.. Igbos get knocked everywhere they go even in the North , NC & SS..cos they shit knows no boundaries

Lie.. Oba of Benin is neck deep In politics ..and I repeat his major concern is his state & his own people... don't care who's running as long as the won't turn the state upside down..

You do anyhow in Benin you go collet

Nathan2016:
If someone like OBJ can lament about Igbophobia, I am sure illitrate like you will know better. There are many things you can call igbos but being a failure is not one of them. They have survive against all odds and also do better than other tribes in many areas.
We dont need to be feared and honestly it is you guys that whine most about the SP. How many igbos do you see chanting SP should go to east apart from these politician who is after their own interest.

I have lived in the SW and I can tell you when it comes to being a coward, the YORUBAS are the champions. They cower among themselves and live the life of servitude hoping to be blessed through begging up and down,

Atleast igbos have the mind to stand up and be a man by going to different places to find better life.

I've said nothing in my quote to indicate that I'm Yoruba but I guess when an Igbo man's Ox gets gored the first person to suspect or to attack is the Yoruba since it's in the psychology of Alaigbo to regard the Yoruba race as the "evil mischievous rascallous bloodsucking demons" haha

Cowards don't build civilizations talkless of having more then a millennia-old Monarchy, old empires known across the world and a language with a global recognition & respect .....But in a system like Nigeria if your definition of "ibo bravery" includes matching a mostly rag tag bunch of armed men against an organized military then that's foolhardy...better be a coward than a meatball

And of course Ojukwu exemplified the "Ibo bravery" only for him to hightail it to CIV from Uli after "bravely" feeding 3 million of his folks needlessly to a meat-grinding machine .. if the Ibos were brave , Ojukwu should be hanged alongside his pretty Girlfriend..& his Lineage wiped clean to serve as a deterrent to coward leadership..he should be given a Mussolini-type treatment

Dying needlessly is the height of folly , better run & live to fight another day. Even in Johannesburg you'll see whites begging for a dollar so they can snort up Coco or pipe up crack, it doesn't mean the white race is a failure...mendicancy cuts across the human race

Question to ask oneself is what is the Political, economic & social prospect of my ethnic group as a whole & how can they forge a self-preserving path to have a reputable place in the future of mankind?

Opening up business in other people's lands & buying up high-end properties in non-igbo lands is to favour the individual Igbo, so he could live close to his business where he makes his money .. question is how does that help Alaigbo collectively ?

Although i so much admire & applaud the igbo apprenticeship system though..it's a potent self help program and it's working good and has improved the economic welfare of many Igbos..

But leadership is the key that sets a direction that a people must toe.

XY23:
Lol. The bridge OUK has been building since 1999 is not due for commissioning in your famous 'one Nigeria'? At least, no one can argue he's detribalized. What disqualifies him but qualifies Akpabio? Both are criminals, both are ambitious, but OUK is a better party man. Igbophobia is real, and the sooner they realize it and stop trying to pander to the blackmail of 'building bridges', the better for them. In 4 yrs time, Umahi will also be discredited one way or another. You're all hypocrites.

The word “Igbophobia” is a farce conjured by some (or all) Igbos to self-delude themselves into believing their failure to achieve an objective is as a result of other people's conspiracy against their so-called "invincibility" or so-called "superiority" so as to psycho-manipulate their prey into self-guilt by playing the Victim card..

The moment you drop facts on them , they play victim & accuse you of hate or they use the old magic word..."Tribalism" or "Bigotry" "Bigot"

Nobody fears the Igbos, the Igbos are even afraid of themselves..can't even zap out Ipob or ESN on their own soil..sitting at home every money-day like ducks cos of ipob-fear..


This is 2023, that puerile sh*t don't work no more..

Bigchristo:
Ooni is not in position to tell Nigerians the government to embrace, If Tinubu government is good everyone will embrace it

Most king and traditional rulers in Southwest are too political, is never ideal for a traditional ruler to be familiarizing with a certain political party or participating in politics they should be neutral and carry everyone along, I remember when Gbardebo went to visit him in his palace only his words and body language will tell you much about his stance on politics

You people wonder why Oba of Benin is widely respected and regarded as one among the greatest royal empire in history? The Oba of Benin both past and present don’t participate in politics they welcome any political parties and give their blessings and advise politicians to do well when elected regardless of the political party you belong, I remembered when Obaseki n Philip Shuaibu was aspiring to become Governor he warned them seriously not to play a do or die politics n also further advice them to see their opponents as their brothers too because they are all Edo state.

Building a nation doesn’t go well with tribalism

In your dreams lol..


Ohanaeze Ndigbo is what? A picnic group ? Cargo cult or a ethno-political organisation ? Last time I checked the hierarchies of O.N are traditional leaders.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo recently made statements reflecting their support for Peter Obi & their scorn for Tinubu...that's what? Apolitical ?

And they are very right & justified to support their own which is Obi, but why regard his opponents with disdain?

Iwuanyanwu made a denigrating remark concerning Yorubas , ain't that a political brush ? Or does that sounds like comedy to you ? Iwuanyanwu is the Chairman COE of Ohanaeze Ndigbo

The northern traditional leadership is what ? Just for religious sake or to make money selling millet & corn? No they very political ..

You've just contradicted yourself, by mentioning the Oba's warning to Edo politicians..the fact that you warn someone means you can take actions against them if they fail to heed the warning... the People will side their century-old traditional rulers against any modern day politician

The Oba of Benin is politically conscious but he doesn't waste time yapping crazy on other ethnic groups, he's focused on his own people, the Benin people, neither is he trying to out-climb the leaves on a tree by claiming other people's heritage as a "no man's land"..

The Oba of Benin is a wise man..learn from him ..if a Benin man runs for president watch the entire Benin traditional leadership back him up ..

Ceenaija:
African mentality, allowing evil to continue.That is why we are the most miserable of all continent

Yes your right , cos Obi is a saint and the messiah to deliver us from evil

Hmm

I say and I say again, IPOB, ESN, BNG or any separationist groups supposedly working for igbo secession in Nigeria are funded, set-up and encouraged by the enemies of Nigeria often using foreign funds & intelligence to finance and coordinate bloody attacks against both the security forces & civilians . These foreign agents & their minions don't care or give a f*CK about Igbos or Nigerians or Nigeria..their main concern is using one of Nigeria's major ethnic group to forment crisis within Nigeria


As long as they can get Nigeria battling some sort of problems (insecurity, economic inflation etc..) they can use and magnify these internal crisis for propaganda purposes in order to give Nigeria a bad name & portray her with disgust on foreign media..

If Nigeria moves in hard to crush insecurity in the east, the same unseen hand will open its global media (CNN BBC etc..) to disgruntled Igbos or secret Biafran apologists to wail about human rights abuses , to badmouth Nigeria & to further drag the country in the mud... They'll sneakily omit the real progress we make as a nation & magnify the sore sides..

They will even use British or American reporters of igbo ancestry to anchor the campaign of calumny against the Nigerian government or to rudely interview Nigerian officials on "BBC or Hardtalks" looking to punch more holes and using lies to look for truth ...a truth they don't even wanna hear or believe in..

During Buhari regime, it was the Fulani herdsmen but for Tinubu it'll be the SE separatist movements wreaking havoc...the irony is that Igbos will mostly be the victims of both side, which is the separationist gangs & the brutal clamping down by the Nigerian Military ..

They all over the internet castigating Nigeria, calling past & present non- igbo Nigerian officials or leaders all sorts of foul names, painting them with the wrong image and at the same time trying to claim Lagos as "no man's land"...they on YouTube agitating for secessionist moves on monetised YT channels, spreading a kind of pure hate you've never seen or heard before , using pple emotions to make them hate & boil

The Igbos have a capacity for fascism & self-destruction, a domineering character that isn't humble enough to learn the ground rules or respect it's host and a gaslighting attitude that keeps them blaming others for their own errors without any decency to learn from their own mistakes ..

They'll allow themselves to be used by the devil they pray against just cos they wanna hurt you so bad ..and in the end it backfires . The Nigerian Civil war is a big lesson they don't wanna learn from ..they blame the Nigerian military for the Biafra dead then & now but they fail to see the folly of the man who lead them to destruction..knowing fully well of the crushing effect of the Nigerian Military machine , but chose the path of ego over wisdom..

If you truly believe in the redemption & salvation of your people & a cause to free them from what you believe is an oppression...then you should get ready to go all the way to win with them or die with them & for them...Isaac Boro did it, Awolowo did it , Sir Ahmadu Bello did, Hitler Did, Martin Luther king did, Malcolm X did, Kennedy did, Tupac Amaru did (the native American & not the rapper) Augusto Sandino did, Nat Turner did, Touissaint L'ouverture of Haiti did, Ologbosere of Benin Kingdom did, Mbanaso Ozurumba okwara (Jaja of Opobo) did and many more ..

But......Ojukwu fled & lived long enough to watch his people take the back seat in Nigerian affairs.

And now they've began again choosing Nnamdi Kanu over a Soludo who's willing to fold his sleeves and work to make Anambra earn it's spot as an economic hub of the east with a potential to be an economic hub in Nigeria with time, efforts & investment


The life of a human being either igbo , Hausa, Yoruba etc..ain't worth any man's ego...we should learn from history & be made wise

Count up

Sebastine1994:
Does she greet her own husband like this or this is just for camera.

Yoruba culture my foot, have you seen any staff bowing down for any American president. This is just the end result of scarcity mentality.

The job pays well and many people would want to do her job, diaspora my foot

Nigeria's not America and Nigerians value culture and are cultured... Few days ago Obasanjo prostrated for Ooni of Ife it doesn't mean he's benefitting anything or keeping any job it's plain respect for culture ...

You can stand or sit on the chair and greet anyone if your culture permits , but in the Yoruba culture Men prostrate and women kneel to greet older individuals of political, traditional , economic and even matrimonial authority..

It's not grovelling it's culture , stop comparing America with Nigeria ... Nigerians are indigenous to Nigeria and as such we carry out cultural heritage with us wherever we go..

If you bump fists with your dad or slap your mum in the ass as your cultural way of greetings no one will judge you

Elluupee slangs include

“ Real Nigerians”
“True Lagosians” “Lagosians”
“Save Nigeria”
“Our Principal”

If you question their political choice genuinely, you get called names like

“Thug” “Rascal” “Tribalist” “Ethnicists” “Hater of Igbos” “Ethnic Hatred” “Degenerates” “Drug user” “Drug dealer” etc… they cannot stand being put on the spot neither are they capable of engaging in respectful, relaxed, unbiased political discussions either casual or intellectual

Meanwhile when you study the reality of the situation you’ll realize that their numbers are shrinking by the day as the reality of Tinubu’s swearing-in dawns on them day by day

Over time, Obi will make himself a self-appointed critic of the Nigerian government actions, policy , mistakes & inadequacies in order to remain relevant to his mob of degenerates and to further sell himself to the public against 2027…

But in the very end his rabble-rousing, psycho-sadistic & hysterical movement will explode into thin-air ……like an hydrogen test in an old lab.


What would be left of his shrinked mob is some disgracefully eating the humble pie of reality with occasional effusion of bitterness & regret online while the remaining body of the mob would return to the online trenches to spew hate on the country as they try to exhume already dead hopes of Biafra secession

Bobloco:
At the bolded, Don't forget to mention specifically Saudi Arabia and credit card fraudsters in the US and UK so that the information will be balanced

Of which crime many of your folks are also involved in..

Now let’s not fetishize crime….there’s no denial of the fact that every crate got a bad egg…did I deny? .. no I didn’t

did I say all Yorubas or Hausas are perfect? No

Is there any perfect leadership in the world today? No , not even the pope or grand imam is impeccable.

You talk about Obi as if he’s some innocent Messiah to save Nigeria .. he can’t even save himself …

Meanwhile like Tinubu, Obi too has rotten skeletons in his wardrobe, he’s also a rogue, a murderer, a criminal & a manipulator

Like Obi like Tinubu, except that one is more rough, far-seeing, cunning, smart & scheming than the other..

Lesson - Messiahs are not found in Politics or Religion.. they all fend for their selfish interests

👋

Bobloco:
And I also expected this response as it is typical of supporters of a Notorious narcotic drug trafficker

Of course, I can't do anything about it and you, you gonna leave with the consequences of enabling a drug lord

You're right, there're no drug traffickers in Igboland & of course "Mkpuru-mmiri" is a yoruba word and the amphetamine epidemic took place in Yorubaland..

hmm..i can see that.. Obi is a upright and honest man he didn't embezzle state funds and siphon public funds to numerous foreign tax havens when he was Governor....he also turned Anambra to New York overnight with abundant skyscrapers everywhere...I can even see the skyscrapers from here ...haha

And yes most drug traffickers on death roll in different parts of Asia are Yorubas & Hausas..no single Igbo man in the mix

I hope your happy now

i went through the link bro...omo patience is really a virtue, i could remember those times when Jonathan was in power it was as if Yorubas never existed. Yorubas were subjected to mockery from the south east and south south... those days were indeed tough.

Well, i like the fact that the Yorubas were able to respond to the situation and not react , in spite of the embarrassment we ate our humble pie and worked together with the Jonathan government but all the while we were planning how to whack Jonathan off the chair for good with the ACN+CPC counterpunch..

And it worked..

hmm..

Bobloco:
I know you are posting from a brain induced substance supplied by the drug lord

I expected this response as is typical for vile-mouthed Obidients..

The irony is, vile-mouths don't lift swords talkless of achieving victory..

Keep up the negativity untill the "Drug Lord" is sworn in come May 29...and there ain't nothing you can do about it except vomit poo all over social media haha

Bobloco:
Peter Obi has risen to become the biggest political figure in present day Nigeria.

He didn't earn it through criminal state capture, he didn't earn it by being a notorious Narcotic drug trafficker, he did not earn it by building a conduit pipe from the state government purse to his personal company, he didn't achieve it by making his wife a perpetual senator of federal republic of Nigeria.

He earned it by sheer hardwork, integrity, compassion and commitment

The only individual whose words tremble the very foundation of the APC, Tinubu and his supporters to the extent that they usually scamper for safety

Hmm.. I understand you ..

And yes you're right that's why Anambra is like New-york & Obi made it so..

To some people, it's mentally soothing to keep up the "Illusion of Grandeur" as a way to psycho themselves off the reality of defeat..

The initial Obidient hysteria is fast waning into obscurity..

Congratulations you're successfully at stage 2 of the Kubler-Ross Grief cycle ... The "Rascals" are happy for you

FreeStuffsNG:
Sattire of the Year. Ohaneze is playing.. Chinaza that invited ipob terrorist group to come burn Lagos and joined them to burn down Lagos too is playing abi?

Oh! That is the part of the story of Late Sage, Pa Awo, your parents and elders told you.smh

They did not tell you he is far older than your great grandparents and not your mate or your parents mate, they did not tell you of how the Sage encouraged all Yoruba people to collect, keep and give your first set of Igbos to migrate to Yorubaland rents on their properties and their properties in Yorubaland back to them when they returned after losing the attempt to seccede violently from Nigeria.

Your parents did not mention late Fajuyi to you abi but fed you with accounts that sow hate and bigotry in your bitter heart .smh

Omo..till today I'm still suprised how the Fajuyi story was deftly ommitted...

Other goods deeds of many Yorubas are also deftly ommitted..

Nwodosis:
If that's all you have got say, I'm quite sure that the Igbos are not skullers

Damn but y’all folks just made 6 innocents people’s skulls available for mining..

Let’s not fetishize crimes cos we’d like to blindly defend our so-called imaginary “Ethnic Honour”

6 innocent human lives have just been taken down unjustly for some unworkable ideal & you’re coming here to preen-up your tribal ego..

It’s a shame … what is bad is bad.. and this incidence is really bad we should all condemn it without aiming jibes and join hands together to seek Justice for the slain

We should be sensitive to the sacredness of human life.
