WE MUST NEVER FORGET IT.

Peter Obi, the master of congratulatory messages

It gives me joy each time I remember Ambode was kicked out for Sanwo Olu to take over.

Akfrenzy:
Nigerians are still struggling to survive

TULUMBU wan use tax kill them thruway

I think Oshoala is a good player but her longevity in the limelight has further been enhanced by the shortage of many talents among African female footballers. I mean, she left Europe yet she's still getting recognition when we rarely even watch her ball. If there were many other talented females who step up, she's likely to have been deposed. Messi and Ronaldo lost their Ballon d'or place the moment they stopped giving as much and left Europe.

LordBiden:
not my president

Peter obi we know.

excanny:
Oga. Show evidence. Leave story.

You said Ibos did not create Ladipo Spare Market. Show evidence of the Yoruba man who started it.

Making foolish claims that you can't defend.

excanny:
Show me evidence of any yoruba that started the selling of spare parts in the market.

excanny:
Industrial estate is different from market.

No yoruba was selling spare parts in the place before the Ibos came.

I'm not Ibo but this is sheer envy.

Why wasn't the original Industrial estate renamed to Benjamin Adekunle Industrial Estate, why rename the market instead that was not originally part of that place before.

excanny:
Why can't Yoruba develop their own popular market from scratch instead of hijacking what others make popular.

Inferiority complex and jealousy

XerXers:
Go and work and make money. Changing names won't give you access to Igbo man's money.
I was in Minna. The largest motto cycle spare parts market there is popularly called "Ogbomoso" because a street called Ogbomoso street passes there, yet Igbos dominate the market totally and completely and bring all their goods from Nnewi. So whatever name you give markets in Lagos is irrelevant. Let's see how your government will move Igbo man's goods to Yoruba man's shop

In a surprising turn of events, a renowned Nigerian lawyer has shut down his practice in Akure and relocated to the UK, where he now works as a cleaner in a clothing store.

This news was disclosed by a human rights lawyer based in Ondo, Bolanle Cole, who expressed deep concern on the matter.



https://x.com/BolanleCole/status/1860724713586049225?t=1eU5QnB86thJvIMwgNsseQ&s=19[/quote]Op , The irony of this post is that it is often rough and dirty at first. This is how many Japa people's journeys began. However, the advantage a SAN has in Abroad is enormous. He is going to Abroad with many needed skills. To secure a job interview in any Paralegal job abroad, this man will make a great impression while also obtaining numerous legal certifications that will give him a competitive advantage over those who have not received long years of experience.

You may be mocking him right now, but his life abroad will change dramatically in the next five years. Kemi Baddmogh started her career as a food attendant at a fast food restaurant in the United Kingdom, but now she leads the Tory Party.

Actually, we are saying the same thing. But When you tell Igbos to restrict themselves to their "5 plots of land", are you allowing Igbos in Rivers state and Delta State to claim their heritage? Since you guys set up your jan jawed APC party to spread evil and discontent around eastern Nigeria, all you do is to divide neighbors and siblings. Meanwhile your over celebrated jewel Lagos is not entirely a Yoruba enclave.

I think that rather than defending all the time when accused of grabbing territories, Igbos should step hard on the pedal and press the attack button. Egun are not Yorubas and Yorubas can not speak for Egun people. The Eguns should be allowed to vote on what they want. If it is freedom from Yoruba colonisation, then they should be left alone, together with their Lagos. It is what it is. The land grabbing of Egun territories should stop.

After all the capital of the South West is Ibadam and not Lagos. Yorubas should be encouraged to stick to ibadam as their regional capital and stop the desperate attempt to displace indigenous Lagos indigenous groups. But if the Eguns want to be subsumed by the real "attachee by force", they can then surrender to the greater Yoruba and loose their identity, if they're okay with that.

What is good for the ikwerre is also good for the Egun.

owobokiri:
Our benevolent accommodators are accommodating the Eguns and co forcefully.
That is wrong. They're the real owners of Lagos.

Yoruba man

why not ask him why this administration has borrowed more than Buhari

Propaganda can't run a successful administration,

We know all these monies are going straight to private pockets while Efcc goes after Yahoo boys

owobokiri:
Since the end of the war in 1970, there have been ceaseless and desperate attempts by federal Nigeria and the main beneficiaries of the unfortunate outcome of the war who reside in the South West and the north, to balkanize the former Eastern Nigeria. This has been done through all sorts of measures, including nebulous state creations and tricky boundary adjustments, that have carved out many Igbo communities at the peripheries, and handed them over as minorities to surrounding non Igbo speaking states.

These acts have led to a lot of marginalisations, segregations and taunts directed towards these set of Igbos. It has also led to a situation where the five South Eastern states have been neglected and deprived of deu royalties, allocations, appointments and all what not from the federal government. For instance in every project for development or sharing of resources in Nigeria, the South East states ALWAYS come last. ALL THE TIME! SINCE 1966!!!

Recently, An attempt by the Igbos in Delta state to have a new state created for them and to join their kiths and kins in the South East, instigated a firestorm as many people especially from the ruling South West section of the APC, insisted that there are no indigenous Igbos in the Niger Delta. Even when these interlopers were reminded of the language and other cultural similarities between the Igbo speaking parts of the Niger Delta and the Igbos in the South East, they stuck to their guns.

My questions here are; since this view is popular in the South West, can we stretch the diabolical logic behind it by saying that the Aworis and Eguns are not Yorubas, especially now that these groups are desperately angling for a breathing space in Lagos their homeland? Since most interior Yorubas can't even understand whatever the Aworis speak, while most Igbos can easily understand the Ika dialect, can we insist that Lagos is not a Yoruba state but an Aworis and Eguns state, the same way some South westerners want us to believe that Ikwerres and Ikas are not Igbos but "Niger Deltans"?

I'm confused..

FSU:
Copied

Reuben Abati's PhD is wasted education.

Why?
The current senate president had praised the Igbo during the events related to the burial of an Igbo senator who died recently. He said among other things, that Igbos go out to develop other parts of Nigeria and that other Nigerians do not do quite the same. That the said late senator was a true representation of the Igbo spirit.

Then, Abati was asked to respond to the senate president's comments on his TV program. Abati, after other kinder words about the Igbo, retorted that, according to TOS Bension (A Yoruba political leader who was born in 1917 and died in 2008) that Igbos don't sell land to strangers. That TOS had wanted to buy land and build a house in his Igbo wife's village and that the villagers had told him (TOS) they don't sell land to strangers. Abati went on to affirm his own opinion along the lines that Igbos go out and buy properties and build elsewhere, but do not sell land to others.

Now, Abati claims to hold a PhD. To obtain a PhD anywhere in the world, including in the local university from where Abati obtained his, requires conducting research for at least 3 years. In Nigeria, it takes longer. In most cases, such research involves conducting statistical analysis using sample populations and establishing margins of errors based on the sampling population size. Abati regurgitated the unproven claim made by TOS about his wife's village (one village) and extrapolated that to cover more than 30 million Igbos living in thousands of villages and towns and cities. The inability of Abati to conduct his own research and to gather data from a representative sampling of Igbos on the matter makes his PhD null and void. That he even believed what TOS Benson said in the 1960s or 70s or 80s, or 90s (whenever he had said it), and repeated it in 2024 makes his case even worse and deserved that his alma mater asks for their certificate back.

Assuming one Igbo village does not sell their land to strangers, how is that an Igbo-wide culture that should be linked to other Igbos?

Pray tell, the Redeemed Church, Deeper Life church, Living Faith church, and numerous other churches own properties across nearly all Igbo villages, towns and cities in Nigeria. These churches are private churches owned by Yoruba individuals. The church lands were sold to the Yoruba owners by Igbos.

GTB, Wema Bank, FCMB and a few other banks in Nigeria are 100% owned and managed by Yorubas. These banks have branches in Igbo towns and cities. The lands were sold to them by Igbos.

Polo Mall Enugu and the Onitsha Business School are owned by Yorubas

GLO Mobile is owned by a Yoruba. GLO has offices in Igbo cities. The lands where these offices are located were sold to GLO by Igbos.

There are 1000s of Yoruba who own private properties in Igboland. I personally know one in Umuahia.

I can go on and on. How come Abati does not know this? How come Abati cannot conduct simple research before bleating out on National TV in 2024 that Igbos don't sell land to strangers?

Abati is not only ill-educated, but he is also a bigot, because only a bigot can take an incidence by one person and extrapolate it to all persons related to that offender. Worse still an uncorroborated incidence that was said to have happened decades ago.

Fortruth:
You wont vote for him because he is Igbo so stop it.

Also, even if you drink some henny and ice and vote for him, then Nigeria will be absolutely lawless. See as Mbah who never won election is celebrating a threat to his loot FULANI herdsmen just went to kill some more of his people for fun:
