Propaganda Video, Tinubu is so desperate, you for show us where they killed him. useless propaganda
Why are they asking his name mentioning Tinubu.

Does that guy look scared.?

APC just arranged Ijele speaks aka (Oyigboupdate) to organise his men, pour GV on his body. So, how did they get the GV on his body.? Because they did not want to injure him. They poured GV to look like a wound.

Did you not see the line of the script? " we let the other person go because he is Igbo.

See how APC criminals are begging the mod to push this to the front page.

Tinubu cannot be part of the rerun if there is going to be anything like that.

You know them wella

Picture: A man dressed in Russian colours.

In a sign of growing hostility towards the West since the coup in Niger, a businessman proudly shows off his outfit in the colours of the Russian flag in the traditional heartland of deposed President Mohamed Bazoum.
Since the coup, there has been a war of words between the military and the West.
Mr Bazoum was a staunch ally of the West in the fight against militant Islamists, and was a strong economic partner as well.

Niger hosts a French military base and is the world's seventh biggest producer of uranium. The fuel is vital for nuclear power with a quarter of it going to Europe, especially former colonial power France.


Since General Abdourahamane Tchiani overthrew the president in a coup on 26 July, Russian colours have suddenly appeared on the streets.
Thousands took part in a protest in the capital Niamey on Sunday, with some waving Russian flags and even attacking the French embassy.
It now seems this "movement" is spreading across the country.
The businessman, based 800km (500 miles) away in the central city of Zinder, didn't want to give his name for safety reasons and asked that we blur his face.
"I'm pro-Russian and I don't like France," he said. "Since childhood, I've been opposed to France.
“They've exploited all the riches of my country such as uranium, petrol and gold. The poorest Nigeriens are unable to eat three times a day because of France."
The businessman said thousands had taken part in Monday's protest in Zinder in support of the military takeover.
He said he had asked a local tailor to take material in the Russian colours of white, blue and red and make an outfit for him, denying that it had been paid for by pro-Russian groups.
Niger is home to 24.4 million people where two in every five live in extreme poverty, on less than $2.15 a day.


President Bazoum entered office in 2021 in Niger's first democratic and peaceful transition of power since independence in 1960.
But his government was a target for Islamist militants linked to the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda who roam across parts of the Sahara Desert and the semi-arid Sahel just to the south.
Under pressure from the Islamists, the armies in both neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso, also former French colonies with considerable French interests, seized power in recent years, saying this would help in the fight against jihadists.
Like Niger, both these countries previously had significant numbers of French troops helping them but as the Islamist attacks continued, anti-French sentiment rose across the region, with people in all three countries starting to accuse the French of not doing enough to stop them.
Once in power, the junta in Mali welcomed Russia's mercenary Wagner Group as they first forced out French troops and then pushed for thousands of UN peacekeepers to leave.
Although Islamist attacks have continued in Mali, Burkina Faso's junta has also grown close to Russia and expelled hundreds of French forces.
In Niger, anti-French protests were frequently banned by Mr Bazoum's administration.
Several civil society groups began escalating anti-French protests in mid-2022, when Mr Bazoum's administration approved the redeployment of France's Barkhane forces to Niger after they had been ordered to leave Mali.
Key among them is the M62 movement, formed in August 2022 by a coalition of activists, civil society movements and trade unions. They led calls against the rising cost of living, poor governance and the presence of the French forces.

Various planned protests by the group were banned or violently put down by Niger's authorities with its leader Abdoulaye Seydou jailed for nine months in April 2023 for "disrupting public order".
The M62 appears revitalised in the wake of President Bazoum's removal.
In an unusual move, its members were quoted by state TV mobilising mass protests in support of the junta, as well as denouncing sanctions by West African leaders over the coup.
It is unclear if the group is linked to the junta known as the National Council for Safeguarding the Homeland (CNSP) or to Russia.
But it was the umbrella group organising Sunday's protest, where smaller civil society groups such as the Coordination Committee for the Democratic Struggle (CCLD) Bukata and Youth Action for Niger were also present.
Back in Zinder, the pro-Russia businessman is positive about how Moscow can help his homeland.
"I want Russia to help with security and food," he said. "Russia can supply technology to improve our agriculture."
But Moutaka, a farmer who also lives in Zinder, rejects this argument and says the coup is bad news for everyone.
"I don't support the arrival of Russians in this country because they are all Europeans and nobody will help us," he said. "I love my country and hope we can live in peace."

A popular Yoruba Man and supporter of Tinubu in a deleted Post called Northern Sick kids Cows on Twitter. He went as far as thanking Jesus for it. See Deleted Post below

What’s the purpose of this thread ?

FreeStuffsNG:
Go and read your history books or ask your elders again. The man who took Christianity and civilisation to Igboland is Yoruba-Bishop Ajayi-Crowther .

That is the greatest legacy still standing in your homeland till today sir. Whenever you want to be ungrateful to the Yoruba, remember this help you got https://churchtimesnigeria.net/ajayi-crowther-translated-the-bible-igbo/

You’re a bloody liar from hell
Ajayi Crowther never translated the bible to Igbo nether was he the one who brought Christianity to the south east and south south

What Ajayi Crowther created was a language primer . Which simply was a compilation of translation of some words in the Igbo vocabulary into English. This was not the bible. The person who translated the bible into Igbo language was Thomas John Dennis .

The Olu of Warri was baptized as far back as the 16th century . Hundreds of years before Crowther was born. So how could he have being the one to bring Christianity to south south ?

You’re clearly not a Christian. Cos no Christian would be asking other Christians to be grateful to a man for speeding the gospel . You’re an agent of Satan.

Who’s Killaboy? Never heard of him

Do you know her ? What’s her name ?

Almost everything claimed here has been discredited

Lie no 4 : Hospitals were not invented by Islam

These guys are bloody liars

Lie no 3 :
Surgery was not invented by Islam

Lie no 2 : The first university was not the University of Al-Qarawiyyin

It was a mosque and then many hundreds of years later ,the same building was later used as an educational institution.
You have to calculate from the time the actual learning started not when the building was constructed

For instance , if I built a shop in 2020 and used it for a barbing salon, then in 2023 , I stopped barbing and starting cooking in the shop, do you calculate my cooking business to have started in 2020 when I the shop was built ? No

Lie no 1 : Algebra was not invented by islam

Don’t let these liars fool you

You wrote a Garbage comment I do not understand

See your Garbage Comment below

You falsely accuse me of things I do not know about nor understand.

I gave your garbage comment the reply it deserve below




You got angry and started acting like a boy whose parents fail to train well

Look at your abusive comment below



So why do you have to start crying below because I gave your comment the reply it deserve?

Your penchant for mischief is your undoing .
Nowhere in the OP’s post (or in any of his previous related topics ) did he insinuate that Igbo is trying to take Ijaw land.

(Which land btw ? The one being constantly polluted and pillaged by oil companies in connivance with the northerners in power ? )

The OP simply shared information explaining that there’s a shared history between the Ijaw tribes and Igbo tribes. And this is a FACT . Even Asari Dokubo has come out publicly to say that he has Igbo ancestry but he’s fully Ijaw today . Whether or not he does is even irrelevant . The fact is that the OP shared a post and you cared not to engage in civil discourse but parroted a futile narrative about how Igbo are trying to claim Ijaw land.

Again which land , I ask you ? The one whose resources has been and is still being plundered by the northerners? What land does Igbo people occupy in this country that was not duly bought and paid for ? If you want to know those stealing land , you know where to look.

Yea you’ve turned yourself into a spokesman or spokeswoman for Yoruba affairs here on nairaland . So calling you out to defend the appropriation of Benin history by the Yoruba is a valid position . Whether you’re half Ijaw/half Yoruba or fully Ijaw does not matter. You put yourself in that position.

Reason properly before engaging. Online anonymity is not an excuse for mischief .

You're mistaking me for your dad Igbo boy, I'm not your daddy

Nope I know your type very well . You most likely didn’t have a father growing , from a broken home.
And the only validation you have is when you constitute yourself into a pest .

But keep talking .

Garbage and senseless post

Do yourself a favour and get off the internet .

Nuisance .

Is so funny how an Igbo man from the South East go dey tell Ijaws about Ijaw History

But even you Yoruba don’t know your real history or have twisted it and told another story and passed it down from generation to generation until you all believe it.

You claim that Oduduwa descended from heaven as an Orisha and is a divine king. Meanwhile the guy was actually iIzoduwa who was an exiled prince from the ancient Benin Kingdom. Before his time , Benin already had about 36 Kings . That’s thousands of years before Izoduwa. So Benin already had history even before Iziduwa (Oduduwa) travelled west to ile-Ife to go and start yoruba history.

Yoruba history started thousands of years after Benin history , yet you people claim Ooni and Alaafin are superior to Oba of Benin.

Even the word Oba is from Benin language. But you’ve stolen their history

That is illegal. Only a court of law or a designated agency like an arbitration board can conduct an eviction.
I’m not a tenant btw. But truth must be told

alfarouq:
Seeing as you systematically try to turn a topic of similarity between major tribes in Nigeria to an Islam and Muslim bashing thread，t is either you are at best an ignorant person or at worst an Islam hater who ignorantly thinks he can increase his appeal with whichever God you believe in by throwing around false claims about Islam.

Nothing is celebrated and encouraged in Islam as much as scholarship. In fact， the first verse that was revealed to the prophet PBUH is read， Also there is a special regard for scholsrship and scholars in Islam than amy other group of people.

The only reason muslims of today seems backward in terms of advancement is becaise they are straying away from the path Islam laid which is the path of scholarship and decided to follow their whims and the ways of the people of the world. This is largely because they have embraced so much comfort because of excessive wealth from oil or are engaged in infighthing there by having little time for self development.


Islam and Muslims gave the world Algebra， the foundation of Science， gave Algorithm （ computation） gave how epidemics are managed and how diseases are managed （check cannon of medicine. Developed surgical procedures that was used and adopted by the world for more than 500 years.

Here in Nigeria， before some peoples parents learn to read， Muslims have been reading and writing，have structured system of governments that span as far as Sudan, developed indigenous building and military, clothing industries technologies all thanks to Islam.

The contributions of Islam and Muslims to science and technology is not exhaustible here ， you can research and read more on it if you truly care to know.


When people like Galileo Galilee and Leanardo Da vinci are been persecuted by the Church for heresy， Ibn Haytham， Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Senna were celebrated in the Muslim world.

Islam gave the world algebra You mean the same Islam that Mohammed brought in the 7th century ? You must be joking. You go and do your own research yourself and don’t swallow everything you’re told in the mosque

Algebra was used as early as the 1st millennium BC. by the Babylonians. That’s about 1000 years BC. (About 1600 years before Mohammed was born) .

I asked a simple question: what has islam done for Nigeria .

You can speak and type English now because of western education . But Boko Haram means Western Education is Forbidden. Go and tell them they are wrong .

You’re talking about the true path. Go and tell ISIS they are not on the true path , go and tell Al Qaeda they’re not on the true path . You cannot win that argument with them.
If anything, you’re the one who will not be considered a true Muslim. They will prove it to you and they will convert you.

You’re not a true Salafi. These ideological groups practice salafism , the pure form of Islam and they are seeking to return muslims to the true path. They are funded by Salafi organizations in Saudi Arabia and all over Sunni world . Don’t even let me get started on the status of women .

Believe what you want or what makes you happy. But the truth remains steadfast.

Heroicvic:
Yorubas are known to be tolerant and peace loving people, what has gone wrong over the years?

They now take pride in tribalism and religious bigotry...

I grew up in Yoruba land as an igbo boy and one thing I did as I relocated to osogbo was to remove my middle name as the only one with igbo pronunciation

Now my question is

Has omoluaabi as commonly referred amongst themselves changed overnight because of the previously concluded election?

Have they always been disguising as a peace lovers all these while?

You removed your Igbo name ? Lol
I have nothing to tell you

What your notorious brother Adeyinka Grandson who is currently in prison in the UK did is not even comparable to what you and your likes have posted here.

Igbos and Yorubas both value modernization and will go lengths to bring it to their doorsteps, unlike the North, especially a town where I served as a corper - Agaie in Niger state.
Igbos and Yorubas value Western education, unlike the North especially Agaie where most of the children are stark illiterates.
Talking about the adults is a different thing altogether.

This is true but the influence of Christianity can’t be overlooked . It was the British missionaries who introduced western education. And western education is synonymous with advancement and the quest for enlightenment.

Take a look at all Islamic countries that do not have crude oil. The only reason why Saudi Arabia and UAE seem to be developed is that they just sell crude oil and and spend the money . Even with all the crude oil, they’re still greatly lacking in technical expertise . There is an astonishing number of foreign expatriates in those gulf countries who help them develop and maintain their infrastructure. In Qatar for instance , the number of expatriates is more than 5 times the number of Qatari citizens.
During the Saudi war against Yemen , the Saudis didn’t even bother to maintain their military equipment , they simply abandon it and buy more from the USA .
Islam is repressive and oppressive. It cannot co-exist with rational thinking and it subjugates the rights of women. Take away the oil from the Gulf and you’ll have Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan etc.

The Muslim North of Nigeria is not different . It’s the Christianity in Nigeria that is responsible for whatever meagre advancements we have made as a society today . Take away the Christianity from the southwest and it would’ve pretty much been like the north.
Look at the reputable private universities in the southwest . They’re all owned by churches, because education , enlightenment and advancement is a core tenet of Christianity.

Tell me what has Islam done for Nigeria ?
