Back during the arphateid era...Israel was backing the arphateid government (Jews in South Africa were classified as white...on the other hand, many Jews were ANC members and sympathisers though). Groups like the PLO...Palestinian Liberation organisation, and many other pro-Palestinian groups gave support to the ANC.

The ANC has never been forgotten.

Nigeria massively backed South Africa too then why did they show us xenophobia.

Oh maybe we are blacks.
Mumu South African

What happen to state powered electricity, what about a seaport in ondo state, what about reviving our cash and food crops?

Ondo state leaders must be creative.

We must charge our governor.

Staged. They are all one.

It is we from the south who believe all this their stories.

When you bomb them off now, they say you kill women and children yet they cause havoc and run into the mist of their women to hide.

tegrianonigltd:
Lol, they will find a way to say something about the new one. No be Tinubu and co??

Always something. Igbos voted obasanjo, voted Abiola and co even with their men on paper like Ojukwu, and co, e reach oBi turn, Igbos are bad, Igbos are this, Igbos are that. Pathetic really, no jokes. Abiola was Muslim, Obj was Christian , Igbos voted them in.

You can clearly see the hypocrisy and the divide and rule politics Tinubu used just to get to power.

Igbos were never enemies to Yorubas, they pushed a narrative just for their selfish agenda.

Oga if you are new to Nigeria's politics you better keep quiet there.

Yoruba voted the other opposition,igbos voted obasanjo because he is their interests. Thats how they always do.

For abiola, is it not igbos who plotted against his death?

One sided thinker.

Arobaga:
That means no students were kidnapped in Ekiti



No Monarchs were killed in Ekiti etc



E kuku good as una dey taste una own medicine



Ekiti people make una keep selling votes on credit



Tinubu till 2098

So na obi go make fulani no attack southwest and any other region abi? Una no just sabi reason

Adamux:
The way you Southerners condescend towards us is really appaling. Buhari is no longer the President. What then is the problem? Why the insults?

Have you ever seen Northerners on social media speak ill of other tribes?

Its obidient southerners both south, east and west not all Yorubas per say. Na so them dey do

Enugurangers:
2027. Atiku will likely win if the economy still doesn't turn around.

The northern votes APC got in 2023 will be transferred to PDP. PDP also holds two states in the SW and a few in the SS and the SE.

Is that how calculation works. That was how you calculated until Tinubu won

So because the North are talking against Tinubu you didn't his APC party wont do it for him again?

Stoplying:
Oh, all it would have taken was turning your "brother" back to the chains...
You guys are a cancer to Africa.
Nothing you will touch will ever flourish.
You will only leave a trail of destruction as inheritance for your kids.

Brothers? Taaa

Brothers who are kidnapping us, killing and maiming you people every day in the bush.

You called those ones our brothers

Anguldi:
Balablu , our military for collect woto
Nigerien military was ready for war. Tinubu doesn't know diplomacy, he thought is Owo mida approach were dimwit touts will be screaming ah ah ah ah ah ah

USA and france were ready to support Nigeria military with aids and weapon. We would have been on advantage with advance weapons and upgraded military to even fight terrorist. Na una no even sabi the game

God1000:
Alamieyeseigha once disguised as a woman to escape from UK.

I'm more concerned about what netanyahu said yesterday that Israel will not leave Gaza after the war.

More land-grabbing under whatever guise is completely unacceptable, Israel should withdraw its troops immediately after the war and allow Palestinians to return to their land.


I salute South Africans for their bluntness and for being the only country in Africa that isn't afraid of Israel, we have more sane people in that country

It because south Africa do not fight terrorist, when they do they will have sense.

Codepain:
35,000 hectares of rice farm ? Haba lie small small.
Enugu has such a rice farm and Africa is not food sufficiency.
The way all the Southern press lie self, especially South East.
What probably happens is Igbo kill Fulani's cattle and they run to the press to make such a ridiculous claim.
This is the templates Plateau Christians are using in Mangu. Kill Fulanis and rush to the press to claim victims

So my people fulani way fulani kill and monarch in southwest na template too right?

We will still start killing innocent fulanis in the southwest too. Time don elapse for you guys

Umuinyioku:
Lagos state government has not stopped this witch haunting. Election has come and gone.

Power is transient. Power will slip from them one day. And they will realise their folly and ethnic bigotry.

Enough is enough!

Even if power moved to the hands of the Igbos will they run Lagos state for the Yorubas?

GAS76:
That guy is spewing thrash these days

Na weed smoker what do you expext?

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggar

Instead of them to decongest lagos
Them want choke am the more

What do you know by decongesting lagos? Will relocation of CBN office congest lagos or you no know within the language mean just because people are saying decongest?

I love disney for this

Thank you for bonding the Yoruba race (Nigeria, Togo, Benin, ...)

rigarmortis:
I don't like tinubu, but some of you so called obidients talk without thinking.

The same nasarawa that Obi won is where you are now throwing under the bus. Cos you don't want to think

When most Obidiebts no go school only business analysis perspective of the economy. What do you expect?

Eastlink:
Benin Landgrabber stay clear of Delta North and go do your Landgrabbing elsewhere. Jim Ovia and Tony Elumelu are proud Igbos and if it pains you then use a rope. Imagine how you jumped into an innocent thread to display your ignorance.

You can't tell Anioma people where they belong by bringing up ancient migration which no base. If so, then many tribes in Yorubaland won't be called Yoruba today since they migrated from the so-called Benin empire mostly those in Owo Ondo state. In addition, we might begin to call Benin people Yoruba's since Oranmiyan migrated from Ife. We can also call many parts of Isoko Igbo's too since many migrated from Igboland. But you'll never see Igbos do this since they've now ethnically assimilated with their host tribe. Only you lots from Benin are champions of landgrabbing in a bid to bring back a dead Benin Empire that was built by the Portuguese.

Unlike you Benin's, Igbos don't landgrab tribes we are not related with. We are only concerned with those that share ethnic affiliation with us in Language and culture and the colonial masters have long carved Nigerian ethnic groups accordingly before independence. Therefore, anybody looking to landgrab tribes in this modern age is simply wasting their time and you Benin's should be very careful.

Second, I observed your falsification of Jim Ovia's surname which you think is Benin since it’s sounds so. For your information the Ovia you think is Benin is a pure Igbo name. It's just a dialectical differentiation from Central Igbo Ohia which means forest. Now it takes different forms and becomes Ofia, Ovia, Ohia, Oshia in several parts of Igboland. While it's called Ovia in Ika, Aguleri, Awka, Ohafia etc, it becomes Ofia in places like Onitsha, Asaba, Nkpor etc. Additionally, the Ovia is similar to names like Isibor and Irabor which are deep Igbo names that many of you in Edo now bear and think are Benin names.

Third, The 6 Odiani clan which you rightly called Olukunmi are proud Igbos from Aniocha. The only thing that connects them with Yoruba is simply migration. They are proud Igbos and are part and parcel of the Igbo nation, sharing one destiny with us from the pre-independence, to the civil war to modern Nigeria. Anybody looking to grab must first cross into Igboland and will get a proper response not from us but the Odiani people themselves.

So you know benin are landgrabbers but you supported them when they also want to grab Lagos right?

You people want to unite against your common Yorubas who you taught are your common enemies. Una never see anything yet. The future awaits us.

nairalee:
They should focus on projects that have a DIRECT impact on the lives of Nigerian masses.

So hospital, bridges etc dont have direct impact on masses.

It can be resolved

First just admit its a biological thing from either of your parents or a traumatic moment.
Or maybe you didn't grow up in family with love. But you now can change that and make your heart be filled with love to also give love.

Then start tracing back at things that made you always angry. Passion for football, politics and religion spark anger. Disassociate.

Diassociate from people who triggers anger in you even if not completely for a while.

Socialize and see it as just fun. Join a football team, go to party with friends. The goal is to do what make you happy.

Finally, pray against it.

Nigerians, known to be resourceful, educated, and fueled by ambition are leaving the shores of their motherland in droves, not in a casual drift but in a frantic exodus.


The answer

israelmao:
Many Nigerians are in obsessive love with their oppressors if it were in a nation where citizens exercise their full right and call their leader to questions Emilokan's outing would've been greeted with strong protests considering the recent killings in Tundu Biri and Jos as well as poor state of Nigeria's economy.

Is it Southwest that say they should be attacked?

The last time i remember during the just concluded election; jos, benue, taraba and southern kaduna are all against the Southwest and have already have their own alliance.

Why must we speak for peoplewho do not want us or protest for them?

The so called middle belt still call themselves Arewa and still with northern coalition, hope you know.

Lovenorth:
The elites are also Northerners what I am trying to say is that the president must carry us together in his government without prejudices. The voting pattern must defind position of the political distribution at the federal level

You want Tinubu and any other southern to carry every one along including the North when whenever a northern man ascend presidency he only favours only the North.

Lovenorth:
We are waiting for the lies and deception Tinubu will use to convience the Northerners to vote for him against our son in 2027

The North is more strategic than the East.

The North needs power in 2031, so they must align with the West to get it. Without the West nothing for them.

Its the elites who influence elections in Nigeria and everywhere not the masses.

Lanretoye:
Some fools that will still benefit more from it will still come and tell you the rail has been there since when lagos was the federal capital.

They dont know it is these sorts of infrastructure that is making the Southwest favorable for living.

Brendaniel:
In Nigeria, I don't know why some people don't ask questions when things are done especially by the government.

For me I don't really see this project as a sustainable one except modifications are made even at that the project was highly inflated, that alone might make the entire project fail in the long run.

It is not enough to just claim and brag about having something but keeping and making it self sustainable is more important.

Only people from south East will talk like this.

Quick to criticize other region but want to glorify their so-called region.

Wujio:
Lagos state is simply making life unbearable for igbos so that they will all leave in a bid to claim the glory of the state alone. Lagos since far back as 15th century was a cosmopolitan state developed through every nationatiy coming together to build and work. Lagos isnt a development that stemmed out of ethnic ability

I am not igbo and i have never stepped foot on igbo land, but the brazen actions of the yorubas on a consistent basis seems like the yorubas are begging for a war. If we are in a war many of us have said it severally let us know plain amd square

The igbos should be telling the yorubas if they are at war.

Saying Lagos is a no mans land sounds like a statement of war.

Nchenches:
But has gov Otti reconstructed all the most economically important roads in the main economic hub of Abia state, Aba, before going for an unarguably white elephant 6-lane road in the comparatively lesser economic hub of Abia state, Umuahia?
Hopefully, gov Otti will not toe the lines of the governors of Imo state since 2007 who have been mired till today in building broad roads in the state capital, Owerri, but chose to return the other urban centres in the state to 19th century status, because they didn't hail from those other urban centres in Imo state outside the state capital.
The present governor of Imo state is even closing down government establishments, including local government service points in Orlu, Imo state's 2nd largest urban centre and relocating them to Owerri. Since 2020, Hope Uzodinma with his militia has been fighting a war he initiated to stop modern development in Orlu.

Nice assession, thats how a typical Nogerian politician thinks. Only do more in their place and do little else where.

legitnow1:
TALKIN NONSENSE EVERYDAY.


WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN SE, YORUBA ARE THE CAUSE.


I ASSURE UNA THAT WHATEVER YOU WANT FROM IGBOLAND, IS WHAT YOU WILL GET IN ABUNDANCE.


SINCE, U SAY WE WILL NOT REST FOR YOU, THEN COME AND REST LET US SEE.


OBI WON AN ELECTION AND WOULD HAVE CALM THIS SITUATION, RATHER YORUBA STOLE THAT MANDATE AND NOW PROCEEDING TO BOMB IGBO VILLAGES.


WE WILL TELL YOU WHAT OUR REPLY WILL BE AND SOON U WILL SEE IT LIVE AND DIRECT IN SW.

Typical Igbo drums of war and nothing to show for it. Since the Biafra war, the only place Igbos caused trouble was in the east. Can't even talk pim in another region.

Taylor92:
I heard Alex Otti is planning on opening a seaport in Abia state

I don’t know how’s he’s gonna do that considering SE been landlocked but for him to say it then he knows better

I pray he succeeds

If Alex Otti succeeds in opening a sea port in Abia state

Lol house rent, land prices, economy, IGR, I mean everything that makes Lagos state is gone

Where do you see a river been used as a sea port? Do east have a deep sea or ocean?

Very funny. Even you doubt it

Yugoslavia247:
In Nigeria we keep shouting Aba made

China produces the world's largest substandard products that even now US buys it for the low cost.

What do china do differently?

They banned imports strictly to just raw materials.

Forced everyone to purchase Chinese made products

Made companies come and teach the people and not just invest

Started exploring Asia and those around them.

Nigeria must learn and maybe the hard way.

So the train chinese built in Lagos and roads are substandard right? Or the iphones and other phones chinese used are substandard right?

Nigerians made substandard product that kills people all in the name of local production and they do it brutally to make money

The day just break.

Thats how to develop the land

Empredboy:
so ekeledichukwu motors, chisco, GIG, and other igbos billionaires in the 80s and 90s were helped by gej, obj and yaradua? Do you think igbos take Nigeria serious after the civil war? Mt question is this if you say Nigeria is one, why do you elude one region from presidency? Which one is align? Align with someone who has made up his mind never to give igbo presidency? You think igbos are that foolish to play that game? Kalu, okorocha would have learnt their lessons.

How do you want others to give you the Presidency just like that? Did they give Tinubu the presidency just like that or he was bold to push him self, aligned and played the game?
No this that another Yoruba man might attain the presidency before your people if they do not play the game.

Besides many of your people became billionaires because we gave them lands and support in lagos after the Biafra war more than any region. But you people do not deserve it any longer.

The only reason your people are still enjoying lagos and southwest is because we are still one Nigeria else it takes us no time to revoke the import license we gave you guys in Lagos.
