this is why most of them remain single and grow old ,keep carrying that mentality you hear

over there black girls from Africa are bottom in the dating pool , you better hold any way show you interest tight

Don't mind her. She think she's stil in Naija where she can be forming big lady. UK will level everybody. There's SO MUCH choice nobody has to take any nonsense from anyone. So many Nigerian ladies are single becasue they think with the outdated mentality that men must chase and spend on them. That is not how it works in the UK and the West. A men expects his women to spend on him as well, to pamper him. Sadly many Naija ladies are simply not wired to think like that

JASONjnr:
Fubara should be very careful....


Wike is a federal tools......


Just like Amaechi who was used to beautify the north and was later dumped aside.


Wike can get permission from Tinubu to deal with Fubara and nothing will happen.


But after 8yrs, I hope he will not come out seeking for any political position?

Fubara, this xmas, go to Benin and spend time with the 'Slayer of godfathers' Godwin Obaseki. He will teach you all you need to know on how to deal with Wike.

This one that is moaning and waling now, let them give him one special adviser job tomorrow, you will see him signing BATs praises to the high heavens.
Nigerians only complain when they are not part of the chopping.
ALL of them are the same. PO that claims saint did he not run with Atiku, one of the biggest crooks of all. BAT na crook. Atiku na crook, PO is not a crook but tolerates crooks so in that way, PO is kind of like Buhari.
We need a clean swipe of ALL these criminals and locust.

Nigerians are their own worst enemies.
People always want to either cut corners or not do things the correct way.
None of those students can say they are not aware of the issues at that university regarding over admission, yet they still decided to go there. What did they expect would happen?

Obaseki has really tried. Sure not everything in Edo state is 100%, but he has done a lot across many sectors.
We can only hope that the next governor keeps up the momentum. Edo state can easily be a self sufficient state, if managed correctly

Olumide, you have no roots in Edo politically
You are a Bini man it's simply not tenable that a Bini man will take over from a Bini Man. I am a Bini man as well, but we must speak the truth.

You are better off building your profile in the state and look to run for one the national assembly seats next elections.

Pakute:
All these stories are trash. Nobody has denied Aworis were from Ife but the question is, when the Benin migrant came, were the natives not there?. I ask again, How did Yorubas chase benins away from Lagos?, why is Yoruba language and culture predominate in Lagos?, why are the Yoruba the land owners in Lagos?, why are they the ones selling land in Lagos?, How many benin have a family house in Lagos?. These are my questions i want benin people to answer, otherwise, everything na empty noise.
i am looking for the historical account of how Yoruba chased Benin out of Lagos, pls, anyone with the document shotld send me a link.

We are talking about things that happened 100's of years ago. Nobody is saying that the Binis own Lagos today. Think of it like this, the British founded many nations as part of the British Empire, does that mean Britain owns those places today? Did Britain not found Nigeria? Were not already people living in this land mass called Nigeira? Yet the British took charge and made all the different kingdoms and Emmirates pay homage to them and created a New country 'Nigeria'. Today how many British people own houses in Lagos?
We should learn to understand history without emotion.

I normally do not support zoning, instead I prefer merit, but one must be honest and realistic. Only when all 3 zones have produced a governor can we then hopefully do away with all zoning and let the best candidates emerge from whatever zones.
with that in mind the central zone should be allowed to produce the next governor. The Esan nation has lots of eminent sons who can be governor next year. Its the height of selfishness and insensitivity that Philip, who comes from the same village as Oshimole, would want to be governor, when the Esan nation is yet to produce a governor.
I am a Bini man and and say we must have fairness in Edo state. Let our Esan brothers and Sisters have they turn.

Any doctor that trained in a public university should be made to do at least 10 years in Nigeria before they can work abroad. We can't be training doctors for free for US UK and Canada.

Water Water Water. This the MOST important thing. They need to be drinking at least 2 litres per day.
Omega 3 has been shown to help reduce pain crises. This can be obtained either from supplements or from eaten fish
Thyocyniate found in yam has also been shown to reduce crises.

In Nigeria even crooks can do the right thing sometimes.

Abacha was a crook, yet it's well know that during his tenure many people had to toe the line. When the Merchant Banks crashed in the 90's all the owners were banned from travelling out of the country. Some tried to lobby Abacha, but they were all rebuffed until monies owed were repaid.
Dangote has been benefiting from monopolistic practices for a long time, and if Tinubu is able to deal with him, that will be a massive plus

OP Please stop this nonsense. I am a Bini man, and now Bini is claiming ownership of Lagos. All our great Oba has said is that historically the center of Lagos which we named EKO was created by the Binis.
Lagos today 100% belongs to the Yoruba and nobody is disputing that.
Yoruba and Bini are close by history and traditions and we should not let any misunderstandings divide us

Can we just make something crystal clear. The oba of Benin NEVER said Lagos belongs to the Binis. He simply said the Binis founded Lagos. This is a historical fact. Lagos today belongs to the Yoruba's 100% and nobody is disputing that.

If I can give you a comparison in Europe. The city of London in the UK was actually created by Romans and was called Londonium. Prior to that York used to be the capital of England. The Romans made London the capital. That is a historical fact, and of course it dose not mean that today London belongs to the Italy. There are many other examples like this.

Closer to home Ilorin would be another example. A city that was clearly founded by Yourba's but today is ruled by the Fulani.

Lagos is a Yoruba city today, and nobody (At least nobody from Edo) is contesting that.

Commissiona:
River state situation is not going to be business as usual, Wike is has alot of experience, that is evident in him purchasing Electoral Forms to all the local government chairmen and House of Assembly members. Wike also has a good leadership base of the local governments in the state. I don't know much about Fubura as a politician hitherto, but I don't think he has a good support base aside tribal support which cannot withstand turbulence from a formidable personality of Wike class. Fubura should stop ' testing the microphone at the start of the party ' and learn the dancing antics for now if he wants peace in the state.

All this is just talk. As long as Fubura has sufficient members of the House of assembly to prevent impechment, like Obaseki did, then he's can wage full and total political war against Wike. Obaseki and others have shown the way to do it. The idea that you can be dictating the affairs of a state from Abuja is a big joke. It will never work. Amachi served it to Odili, Wike served it to Amachi and now Fubura will serve it to Wike

Kukutenla:
Is it not obvious that he's paying Ganduje a visit in connection with the Bayelsa gubernatorial? Dayo Israel was wailing the other day about how APC is being outgunned in the polls and he ended up sounding like an orphan. It is obvious that's the background to this visit. It just shows how GEJ's chosen to ridicule himself all for pwr and relevance

Quite sad. GEJ should really be above all this, and should instead be focusing on international politics in terms of peace keeping and conflict resolution

I generally like GEJ for the way he conducted himself in 2015, but he has disrespected himself here. He is a former president of the Federal republic of Nigeria, the only people he should be going to see are fellow ex presidents, anyone else should come and see him. I hope his protocol advisors can have a word with him, to avoid such in future.

As an economist and investment banker Obaseki has implemented sound fiscal policies that have put the state in a very good position. You don't hear of things like pensioners not being paid of civil servants salaries delayed in Edo State.
However he's not performed do well on basic infrastructure, especially roads.
All in all, I would say he's tenure has been a success, considering the amount of energy and resources he needed to deploy to get re-elected against the wishes of Oshimoloe and Tinubu.
Edo no be Lagos!

They are making a total mockery of the judical process in this country and by so doing they are undermining the nation. They may soon reap a very bad harvest from the demonic seeds they are planting

God1000:
Good news, too many innocent people have died.

It appears netanyahu government is finally bowing to international pressure, though we need more than 5 days of truce.

We need a complete cessation of hostilities, Israel should not expand military offensive into southern Gaza where it has told civilians to take shelter because they are planning to do so.

I have no problem with any country fighting a terror war, but it becomes an issue if you end up killing tens of thousands of civilians and not the actual terrorists you claim to be fighting and then disregard international humanitarian law by cutting food, water, fuel and electricity to civilian population

such collective punishment is evil and it's against christian values.


To my fellow christian brothers and sisters support the genocide, where is your good heart?

Your sentiments are noble, but it takes 2 sides to make peace in any conflict. Hamas don't want peace. They only want a ceasefire in order to regroup and strike again

Anyone who mocked any of those that died under the last government or this one, weather its End Sars victims, victims of kidnapping, victims of political violence...if you mocked any of these people's deaths, you have invited a terrible fate upon yourself. There are some line that should never be crossed

Go to court!

As usual people wil come and attack the person of the govenor, instead of taking crtical heed of his message. He warned in the past about many of the problems we are currently facing, but nobody listned.
Nigeria has a CRTICAL problem in how it functions. This centralized model of states and LGs sharing money every month is totally untenable. The country needs to be re-structured so that the states and LGs become fisically autonomous. Let all the sub nationals raise revenue by taxation and invesments. This will force them to be much more accountable to their people

There must be a special madness that aflcits some public office holders. Maybe they just loot so much money, that they don't mind when they waste it.
Even a 5 year old in Edo state knows there is NO WAY Philip can become governor next year. He can't even carry the whole Edo North as he's from the same area as Comrade, and the other areas will rebel, not to talk of Edo South and Central

I don't believe in zoning, but there's got to be fairness. The same village can't produce 2 governors when a whole zone, the central is yet to produce a governor. I am a Bini and we have produced 2 governors, so time for us to rest. Let the central have their turn. Ambrose Ali was a good governor, and Osunbor showed sound judgement in the short time he was there.

realG101:
I have observed a trend recently on the internet and especially on nairaland and I believe it will help us all a great deal if we refrain from the trend and get more clarity.

Let's call a spade a spade. That nigeria's affairs are in the hands of tinubu right now is not because yoruba people voted based on tribal sentiment.

It is because as usual there was massive rigging perpetrated by the inec as a result of corruption and impunity in the system. This is just one leg of it.

The second reason is that, as far as elections are concerned, the nigeria police and judiciary have always acted as arms of the ruling party at any given time.

That said, one problem that Nigerians have is that we have this habit of relegating real issues and hopping on trivial ones. We get carried away in the process and even begin to fight ourselves on tribal or religious basis while the real enemy continues to do more damage.

It's not further math. If all the yorubas (SW) voted for tinubu and all the igbos (SE) and SS voted for obi, obi would have out performed tinubu in a free and fair election.

This tells us that tribal voting wasn't the big factor in tinubu's victory, it was electoral malpractice.


See all that energy we expend dragging and cursing people who allegedly voted tinubu on tribal basis, let us channel it towards re-examing how events unfolded during the last general election, which loopholes inec and apc exploited for their rigging game and let us brainstorm on how to be prepared to beat them to the game by bridging those loopholes next election.

I can assure you that if we continue trading blames over who didn't vote for the right candidate and refuse to talk about the real issues, 2027 election will also come and go and the story will remain the same.

I'm sure those who didn't apply wisdom in voting during the general election are regreting already. We don't really need to over flog the issue.

The post election tribal war on the internet is even a threat to sensible voting in subsequent elections so let's nip it in the bud.

God bless Nigeria.

This is without doubt the most brainless article I've read on NL this year.
The SW voted for Tinubu in massive numbers
Muslims across Nigeria voted for Tinubu in massive numbers
Both of these blocks voted on ethnic and religous grounds
That is the simple fact.
In all honesty it's not totally wrong to have some form of ethnic consideration in how you vote, but when voting for a president, even if ethnicity is one of the considerations, other factors like competence and integrity must also come in.
Both Buhari and Tinubu are totally unqualified to be president of a nation like Nigeria and yet both have been. It's the poor masses who continue to make the same mistake and continue to suffer the same fate

Svoboda:
Ask the idf how many hamas fighters it has to kill to stop rockets being fired into israel. Despite the utter destruction of parts of gaza, esp civilian areas, and killing over 11k palestinians,
Hamas still has the capabilities of firing rockets even into central israel. So, what does that tell you?

The war has just started now. Let's see how many rockets Hamas will be firing in 3 months time

Yes, Yes Yes!!
This is the ONLY way to deal with savages. No mercy, no kids gloves Hit them hard.

In future they will think thrice before going to shed Jewish blood!

As long as the drug baron and certificate forger is President, other countries will continue to treat ALL Nigerians as criminals.

DKM123:
Do you mean the inflation within the past one or two weeks? It's not surprising na. Prices have been rising every week since Timnubu came in May.

The one that surprises me more is the change from 7k for a bag of rice during Jonathan PDP time to 58k for the same rice during APC leadership,

A rubber of garri from #180 during Jonathan to 1500 during APC change ...

Indomie of #50 in PDP to #450 under APC rule.

Gas of #2500 for 12kg during PDP to #13,000k during APC changeee....

Etc etc


The only thing that hasn't changed since then is minimum wage...

Another SUPRISE is that Nigerians (from students to the highest technocrats) have CHANGED from fiery "Aluta" proponents (who DEMANDED thier rights from thier leaders even during the rugged military regime)............TO laidback-docile-mumu-suffering and smiling proponents who hail and defend their tormentors. Even musicians no longer sing about "struggle and redemption".

It's surprising how APC done CHANGE Nigerians to z0mbie and just dey carry dem go where dem no know.....

My own theory on this is that social media has roasted people's brains so a lot of people are effectively zombies
The young would rather read and follow who Davido is breeding with, than plan on how to oppose those that are oppressing them.

Soyinka has bo moral righr to attack Buhari, after keeping quiet on all the transgressions of Tinubu. He only finds his voice when attacking non youruba leaders.

Fubara should go and take one on one lessons from Obaseki on how to subdue a godfather.

Excellent news! Kill them all
