Another game day; the same wailings and gnashing of teeth in the western end of London …..🌚

Nothing to see here

I guess this is another “sectional propaganda” against the Fulani ethnic group

One thing that excites me about the next government is, it’s going to be headed by a member of the most educated ethnic group in the country, one with enough intellectual mouthpieces, one that can’t be trampled upon by any subnormal stereotype artist or bigot from another group.

Unlike the North, the South-West geopolitical zone possesses the media firepower to counter and neutralise any sectional propaganda or conspiracy to pathologise their ethnic identity and heritage as the Fulani have been under Buhari. No Yoruba media proprietor would sit back and let you caricature their ethnicity as you did the Fulani, no matter their opposition to Tinubu.

If also you think Yoruba intellectuals and influencers would sit at the same table as the fascist characters whose only quality is the capability to insult and dispense fake news, the brain-setting reality awaiting you may hit you like a thunderbolt.

Wole Soyinka‘s trending dissension with a certain lousy mob masquerading as change agents is just the first spark of the reality ahead, and we are here for it. There’s a thick line between patriotism and anarchism. Gimba Kakanda

This Gimba person u usually quote sef . So somehow he believes there’s a sectional propaganda and conspiracy against the Fulani ethnic group ?

So all those attocities being committed by Fulani herdsmen under the government of buhari are all propaganda and conspiracy against the Fulani ethnic group Abi ?

My own friend that lost his mum when Fulani herdsmen blocked the Akure expressway and were shooting at travelers ; that’s conspiracy against Fulani ethnic group too? At least his father who escaped into the bush before the wife was hit saw those that attacked them and heard them speaking fufulde .

The killings being recorded in places like Benue , are they also propaganda against Fulani ethnic group ? Igangan town in Oyo state that was razed and people killed in numbers by marauding Fulani herdsmen ; is that conspiracy against the Fulani ethnic group too ?

While I understand he/she may be trying to be patriotic , but there are times people need to say things the way they are. This one of those times but he’s delibrately choosing to do otherwise and pissing on people’s loved ones’ grave with this insensitive commentary . These things did happened and some of us are pained someone goes on Twitter and starts calling it propaganda/sectional conspiracy .

You can download the report here.

I've read the entire methodology chapter (chapter 2), and at no point do they attempt to explain how or why they chose that sample size.

All they said is they decided to pick 1500 households per state. Period. Full stop.

Well, OK then...

Na so NBS data dey always be and that was why I argued against it the other day

All this nonsense idea of passing bill that will make Medicine graduates practice medicine here in naija for 5 years before getting new license will not see the light of the day If NMA doesn’t buy into it.

NMA just needs to sue the FG up till Supreme Court and the bill will be thrown out .How do u stop people from pursuing their dreams in their chosen career ? I’m sure there’s no section of the constitution that supports such nonsense

This one is 56k not even 800k


Like bruhhh

Now the problem with such things is , how do we determine 800k is enough sample size for a population size of over 150m ?

Why not 280k ( which is 56k households with an average of 5 persons in each family ) . Maybe the number guys here can enlighten us on what amount of sample size can do justice to this kinda complex/large population

nihilistjnr:
Ermmmm

The survey, which sampled over 56,000 households across the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT, was conducted between November 2021 and February 2022, and provides multidimensional poverty estimates at senatorial district level.

Highlights of the 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index survey reveal that:

63% of persons living within Nigeria (133 million people) are multidimensionally poor.
The National MPI is 0.257, indicating that poor people in Nigeria experience just over one-quarter of all possible deprivations.
65% of the poor (86 million people) live in the North, while 35% (nearly 47 million) live in the South.

Ermmmm

I mean they only sampled 56000 families. I'm not i see any facts here.

This is not to say I disagree with the argument that Nothern Nigerians are desperately poor, but I was interested in NBS's definition of the word "poor".

I'm not a statistician but their methodology seems pretty shoddy to me. How do you extrapolate data from sampling 56k families to apply to a population size in the hundreds of millions?

I once had a discussion around this on the chelsea thread . If I remember correctly we were arguing about unemployment figures and Larride brandished some NBS stats which I just could not agree with cos I know umployment rate is worse than what the NBS stats were saying .

Larride would have none of it and chose to stand by NBS stats favoring Bubu’s administration as (a party man na). So I called Ibime who is a number guy to reason with me based on say 800k sample size in a country of over 100m will never tell the full story.

Well, Ibime told me that the 800k simple size is okay for naija cos even UK unemployment rate is measured by random sampling of 100k adults and that’s it. I don’t know if Ibime was being politically correct in that discourse or he actually believes extrapolating data of 800k people can do justice to whole populace in a place like naija

Can anyone help me with a link to the video in which Obi said he will lift northerners out of poverty ?

I want to watch it myself and know how exactly the “insult to northerners” being alleged by Monerozzi and company was worded .

What does OBJ intend to achieve with this letter

That kind of letter from a former President is shameful.
Truth be told!
When in that letter did he mention the victim and what he went through? Oh because he is a child of nobody in Nigeria.
OBJ's letter is simply telling the world that we are a lawless people and would always allow big criminals to escape justice in our land!
He also summarized his government as that of sacred cows.

On a personal note, I understand why any parent will act desperately when the life of their child is on the line

I believe what Obj is trying to do is try to reduce whatever sentence that will be passed on Ekweremadu . It’s obvious Ekweremadu and his wife will be spending time in jail upon conviction , but Obj is trying to explore his influence as a former president to see if he can rein in on the court to reduce their sentence since Ekweremadu doesn’t have a criminal record up until the organ harvesting case came to the fore .

The tone of the letter shows Ekweremadu is Obj’s personal person. As a former president , I don’t see myself writing that kind letter ……. But Obj no dey send anybody when he acts sha

They're roasting him on Twitter

They don't need to roast him; I don't think he regrets his actions. He did what most young people angered by broad daylight robbery called election will do. The man was 31years old as at that time.

Perhaps old age has made him seen things from a different perspective now; or he's scared applying those same tactics in 2023 would not yield a better result than it did in 1965. We will never know what exactly is on the mind of the prof now.

Same Wole Soyinka

For those who don't know , Wole Soyinka was a 31 year old lecturer as at the time of the incident.

Awolowo and Akintola were at loggerheads for the control of Western region leading to the elections; Akintola aligned with the government at the central and won re-election in an election that was generally regarded as rigged and Wole Soyinka was one of the people that criticized the outcome/results of the election.

Akintola the re-elected premier was scheduled to have his pre-recorded victory speech played on radio in the evening but that would not be cos Wole Soyinka had plans. The university don sneaked into the radio station, held the continuity announcer at gunpoint and forced him to play his(Wole Soyinka's ) pre-recorded tape instead.

The contents of Wole Soyinka's tape that was played to the listening public is : Akintola get out; Akintola, get out and take with you your band of renegades who have lost with you any pretence to humanity, and have become nothing, but murdering beasts. . . .
The lawful government of Western Nigeria is the UPGA government, elected by the people of the West. Let every self-seeking impostor get out now before the people, losing patience, wash the streets in their polluted blood. . . . In the name of Oduduwa and our generation, get out! Before the frustration of ten million people, their anger and their justice in an all-consuming fire come over your heads.

Akintola the re-elected premier was embarrassed that this could play out and had Wole Soyinka detained but somehow at the trials Wole Soyinka was able to provide an alibi cos the prosecution team could not prove beyond reasonable doubt that the man who held the radio station at gunpoint was indeed Wole Soyinka.

If an Obidient tried half of this thing Wole Soyinka did back then, gaskiya he go tey for DSS detention pass El Zakzaky & sons

Nigeria had a better chance of separating in 1966. It cannot even happen now.

Na because Spy na easterner wey dey leave for east and most of his investment is in the east; Na why he fit dey give that kind "2 Cent".

The world is now a different place compared to what happened in 1966. We are too inter dependent on each other that almost everyone will be affected when push comes to shove.

Hmmmmm…. The truth cuts are deep

I just wish the police and or DSS can at least show they are on the side of the people by going after these marauding Fulani herdsmen and bring them to book ; that’s one of the things that will Make people still have a shred of trust in the “One Nigeria “ mantra .

How can Fulanis who are not indigenous to any SW state come all the way from the north , inflict pains and sufferings on people down here and we all just gloss over it cos of political interests?

This is why I think some fellow Yorubas who are ethnic jingoists have their priorities misplaced when think all they need to do is subdue the arrogant Igbo’s incursion into their lane and all will be well. Why not think about ur fellow brother in the same SW being tormented by far more real and greater power than the "boastful and arrogant" character of the Igbos ?

liveLongNprospa:
Lmaooo mess wey dey cause insurrection

But on a serious note, at this point I think it’s just hate and nothing more. I think hate against the person of Peter Obi and whatever he represents to them.

I still find it hard to believe that Atiku has made comments discrediting the so called election , his spokesperson (Dino melaye ) did an “Orubebe” at the collation center, he called the “election” fraudulent and has since led a group of preotesters to protest against the election results .

Peter Obi on the other hand asked his supporters not to protest the elections through mob action/street protests despite also not accepting the outcome of the elections. He even appealed to his supporters who planned to occupy the court house during the tribanal sittings and has kept on insisting he will challenge the results through legal means .

Yet in all of this , it is Peter Obi that is being accused of treason . Shey Lai Mohammed no see Atiku make he accuse am of treason ? Wetin dey sup gan gan for this country ?

I’m beginning to think maybe they’ve consulted some marabouts and they told them If they arrest Peter Obi, all the problems in Nigeria will disappear ? Like maybe that’s what they are not telling us.

I will advice him to listen to news from our local stations like radio/tv instead of going to Twitter for news.

Recently some Islamic Clerics were arrested in Kano for preaching violence during the Gubernatorial Election there.

This morning I was listening to Soyinka. He said when they discover that Mamman Vatsa was among the coup plotters. He was sentenced to death by execution. Babangida was the head of state. So they came to Babangida to beg him not to execute Vatsa. Babangida said he will try and see what he can do . The way he put it, it looks like Babangida on his own cannot just free him.

Now, this is democracy. If they find anyone guilty of any nonsense plot. That person go see hell however highly placed that person is.

Vatsa was murdered by IBB for reasons best known to him. Some retired officers had come out to say he wasn't involved in the coup plot; even if he were the crime he's being charged for is an offence that has always attracted life imprisonment and not execution.

Na only IBB know why he kill him ex-best friend; anybody who believes IBB's hands were tied can as well believe anything....Dem no dey call IBB maradona for no reason.

Lmaoooo.. All regions it seems are not equal in this country 🤣🤣🤣

I watched the Datti interview; Omo! U don't need a soothsayer to tell u that If Obi had made those same statements on live TV like Datti did, he would've been toast by now. His lawyers would've been making frantic efforts to free him from DSS detention now for treasonable felony charges.

Datti Said : " Swearing in Tinubu and Shettima is as good as swearing-in the nigerian army ", "If u swear-in people that have not satisfied the requirements, u Have by so doing ended democracy".... " This our democracy is going to end by May 29 2023 ".....

Even when Seun Okinbaloye interjected and tried to let him know the gravity of the statements he's making, he simply asked if Seun was afraid, but that he(Datti) is not afraid to say it no matter how extreme it may sound.

He repeated it afterwards that Swearing-in those that do not meet the requirements is unlawful and will end democracy. He even said he's not taking risks with his safety and his life. He even ordered Buhari and CJN not to partake in the illegality(Swearing-in). He pointed it out that Yakubu issuing out the Certificate of return to Tinubu and Shettima was an illegality.

Nothing wey anybody fit tell me, Obi would've found himself inside a maximum facility if these words had come out of his very own mouth .

George Orwell don talk finish when he said “ All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. ”

How influential is Datti's family that not even dss could invite him after that channels interview..

Meanwhile ffk not waste time before dss humble am😂

It’s called Hausa/Fulani tax . Make Obi try saying the exact words Datti mouthed and he would’ve been illegally arrested by DSS without warrant .

Even Atiku led a protest after losing the election and he’s enjoying his freedom to move about in naija like it’s no man’s business . If Obi had did exactly what Atiku did, he would be facing treason charges by now .

Naija na one kind country , it’s only normal for a sane mind to try find ways commot this “hell hole “

when it comes to my academic here in the country.. the story is a long one.. even when I was in 100 level, my mind wasn't really init..

Call it parental coercion or whatever.. I had to go to school because my parents was footing the bills and I had no option..

I started handling my academic bills in my finals.. I know how much I spent before I decided to call it a halt.. I was not really feeling the system.. the only take away is the environmental exposure and street wise.. academically, I can boldly say I didn't gain anything.. it was all a hoax to me..

Now to my finals, calculating the shits I had and what I have to pay to graduate.. I ditched it and I'll do it over and over again..

My course adviser called me yesterday and was telling me how my exams will be starting and if I was around to come and complete it.. I told him I still stand by my words that I wont be returning to those anytime soon..

I even told him am okay with testimonials that I attended university.. if need be, I'll get signatures and attestation from him, my hod and other dignitaries in my department to attest am there student.. that alone is enough for me if by when I need it, I couldn't manuever my way the best possible way..

I told him to leave my record as it is.. because he was talking something like deferring my admission bla bla bla.. leave it as it is.. don't defer anything..

There's no point spending my hard earned money where my mouth isn't..

I understand the plan for ur course adviser is coming from . He probably believes u will come back for the degree in the future and that’s why he advised that u defer the semester/session .

In my school if u don’t defer and didn’t take exams for 2 sessions , u will get kicked out through expulsion cos they will record 0.00 CGPA for those two sessions and no matter what ur current standing is, that 0.00 CGPA in two straight sessions will send u straight to expulsion list .

So if u’ve made up ur mind on not going back, inu can ignore his advise on deferment . But if u still need certificate of attendance , u gats defer with the hope of going back later to cool moments whatever remains

Haba na.. 1.2b per truck?

One of the state governments in Nigeria bought fire trucks in 2021 and the documents passed my table back then; based on the exchange rates then and now I can categorically state that these figures being quoted are overly inflated .

The thing about these kind of government acquisitions is that the government does not contact the manufacturer directly to buy and arrange for shipment themselves . Rather, the government will contract a company here in Nigeria who will have websites and all displaying those trucks. These contractors having won the bid to purchase the trucks on behalf of government send over inflated invoice for the trucks and shipment/clearance at the ports .

It’s the over inflated figures that the government will always claim they procured the truck but in actual fact different people in government at different levels get a cut from the over inflated figures . It’s always laughable when i remember how Buhari was voted for on the premise that he will fight corruption ; even corrupt people believed that at some point

thanks for this.... I actually plan to restudy and start afresh school education..

If need be for my halted studies, I'll complete it..

But for now, I have to focus more on my other career projects..

It'd take me 2 years to clear my carry overs and also I'll be spending lots of money on school fees and other shits..

They re not my priority for now..

I'm here carrying more than my weight.... I decided to set my priorities straight and that certificate for now isn't one of them..

Thanks again for your concern

If u are actually serious about relocating abroad , I will suggest u focus on the relocation and forget ur current academic pursuant in naija .

Going by what u’ve described above, when u are done with clearing ur carryovers and sorting lecturers u might still not come out with anything above third class which itself is not a good class of degree in naija ( U don’t need to look far to confirm this , just look at how Peter Obi’s alleged third class degree had subjected him to ridicule in the run-off to the elections ).

When u eventually relocate abroad, enroll for an academic programme over there and be more serious with it this time around . In less than 4 years u will have ur degree which u can always bank on later in the future for corporate jobs and even future political aspirations .

MY THOUGHTS ON THE “EZE NDIGBO AJAO ESTATE ISSUE “

1. The idea of “Eze Ndigbo XYZ”,” Seriki Hausa XYZ”, “Oba Yoruba XYZ” ,…. etc outside one’s home state/region/locality makes absolute no sense . It didn’t make sense to me when I was much younger and heard of such ridiculous titles ; it still doesn’t make sense to me now.

It’s alien to African culture to have more than one king/ruler in the same locality/kingdom/town . Such things makes people arrogate powers they don’t have to themselves as in the case of this “Eze Ndigbo Ajao Estate “ . I remember how absurd I felt when a friend told me his grand father was “Oba Yoruba of Zaria “. The thing no just make sense and leaves room for such people to use powers they don’t have to influence others for their own selfish reasons .

2. The Fredrick guy who was in the video threatening to invite IPOB to come protect their business if attacks against him and his people would not stop; to me he’s just like that guy whose head got burst by APC thugs despite being APC card carrying member . His pictures tweeted by the Gawat boy in 2019 showed he was in bed with APC till he wasn’t . In 2019 APC used that his “revered “ Eze Ndigbo Ajao stool to canvass votes amongst the Igbo people in that axis . Now in 2023 he probably believes GRV will serve his “people’s “ interest better and jumped ship.

Unfortunately for him; it’s too late to cry when the head is cut off .

3. I’ve seen posts here trying to link everybody aggrieved with the election results that behaves in an irrational manner with Peter Obi or Labour Party . It’s laughable honestly ; we’ve seen Pro-Atiku protests post election , we’ve seen Pro-Tinubu protests demanding the “losers” of the “election” to congratulate Tinubu cos no mandate was stolen….. Yet somehow it’s Peter Obi that wants to destabilize this country .

Do u people believe these things u post urselves ?

4. I think in order for it not to appear tribal bigotry, the state governments should pass laws that illegalizes “Eze Ndigbo XYZ” , “Oba Yoruba XYZ”, “Seriki Hausa XYZ” … etc outside ur own region. They should ban all of them and let the constituted government and traditional rulers rule their domain .
