But it's amazing how the lives in your problematic region is being destroyed, right in your own eyes and all you people could do is to be looking for goddamn rebuttals. Now I know you guys are real beasts in this country. A good for nothing rogue cretins who is dangerously dangerous to associate with. Very dirty set of desidents disturbing our nation.

Another urchin who wouldn't respond to the core message but went on insulting a whole tribe not asking you for help. Typical of them.
They can't engage in a sane debate without resorting to debasing themselves.

Has any Igbo man begged you for food before. Why are you bothered with all these insults

It's a shame that we accept anything we read online without asking questions.

Look how all major news houses copied and pasted same sensational headlines to sell papers and get viewership.

Whoever is bankrolling this narrative has big pocket.

UK has 78 proscribed terror groups as evidenced on all UK terror documents. IPOB is not there.

Visit website to see all of them.

Nigerians and junk Journalism wont stop amazing sound minds.

I challenge anyone, I mean anyone to show me a written or video evidence that IPOB has been branded a terrorist organisation by UK.

I have gone to all UK newspapers, visited UK.gov page where all terrorists groups recognised by UK are listed. IPOB is not there. Not a single UK TV or newspaper reported that IPOB has been proscribed a terrorist group.

Every newspaper that carried this junk news are Nigerian newspapers and bloggers.

Seun it's important that MODs go through press release and authenticate news and headlines before pushing to the front pages.

What was reported was that UK said IPOB wont be given access to seek asylum in UK anymore. And there were other groups listed there.

See the news

I ask again, show me any shred of evidence where UK branded IPOB a terror organisation.

I do not support the approach IPOB has taken in pursuing their secession but it's also important that truth prevail over junk journalism.

See images. Not a single UK TV or print media reported what Nigerian press is saying. Shame.

List 3 most corrupt government officials in Buhari's government

For me its

1. Abubakar Mallami. My friend in real estate business Abuja became mega rich because of this man. My friend is literally a billionaire because of him. Major appointments in Buhari's government was orchestrated by him and he doesn't approve till you pay for it. He controls what happens to Abacha loot returned. He boasted that he recommended EFCC chairman and IG of police.

2. Rotimi Amaechi: Amaechi has taken loans from China that will come back to hunt us and nothing tangible to show

If these 2 men are thoroughly investigated, we will recover money to pay half of our foreign debt

Share 2 names and reason

There is no vacumm in nature.

everything that happens in the media and Holly wood is carefully planned.

What we see is the glitz and glamour but nothing is normal with those celebrities.

Brands should force Twitter to uphold content policies under Musk, advocacy groups say

(CNN): Some of the nation's biggest brands including Coca-Cola (CCEP), Disney (DIS) and Kraft (KHC) are facing calls to boycott Twitter if the company's soon-to-be owner, billionaire Elon Musk, rolls back content moderation policies limiting hate speech and election misinformation.

In a letter sent to brands Tuesday ahead of the 2022 NewFronts digital advertising conference, more than two dozen civil society groups said marketers should secure commitments from Twitter to retain its most critical policies, including on civic integrity and hateful conduct, and threaten to withdraw funding if Twitter does not comply.
"As top advertisers on Twitter (TWTR), your brand risks association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, health misinformation, and conspiracy theorists," the letter said, adding: "Your ad dollars can either fund Musk's vanity project or hold him to account."
Twitter didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In an investor filing Monday, Twitter told advertisers "we have no planned changes to our commitment to brand safety" but that the company "cannot speculate on changes Elon Musk may make post closing."
The letter, first reported by CNN, urges advertisers to make their next ad deals with Twitter contingent on changes to platform policy under Musk.
It offers the latest example of how some advocacy groups have leaned on the immense power of corporate speech — and specifically digital advertising, the lifeblood of many tech platforms — in attempts to shape tech companies' behavior. It leverages years of growing realizations by the ad industry that brands can face reputational damage if their ads appear next to white supremacist content or other harmful material.

Tuesday's initiative bears echoes of a far-reaching advertising boycott in 2020 that saw companies ranging from Adidas to Starbucks pulling their ads from Facebook over what they said were its failures to keep hate speech from spreading. But unlike that campaign, the groups behind Tuesday's letter said advertisers have a chance to be more proactive and strategic this time, because Musk has already telegraphed what he plans to do with Twitter. (The Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder has pledged to restore "free speech" to the platform by, among other things, easing up on content removals and account bans. He also wants to "authenticate all real humans" on Twitter.)


As advertisers prepare to negotiate forward-looking contracts with Twitter this week during the NewFronts conference, they can preemptively protect themselves from any damage to their brands resulting from Musk's eventual takeover, said Angelo Carusone, CEO of Media Matters for America, one of the organizations behind the letter.
"If Elon Musk comes in and gets rid of all the brand safety protections, I think Coca-Cola should be able to cancel their contract," Carusone said. "It would be very revealing if Twitter refuses to or does not sign or does not give those cancellation options."
Tuesday's letter targeted other big-name advertisers, as well, including Apple, Best Buy and HBO — the last of which is owned by WarnerMedia, CNN's parent. Spokespeople for the brands didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Other organizations spearheading the letter campaign include the technology advocacy organization Accountable Tech and the feminist group UltraViolet. Meanwhile, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, the National Hispanic Media Coalition and the digital rights group Free Press also signed the letter in support of the effort.
In addition to contract terms that would commit Twitter to enforcing its existing policies, the letter said brands should require Twitter — as part of any ad deal — not to restore the accounts of individuals who have already been banned from the platform, such as former President Donald Trump.
Advertisers should also require Twitter to continue to support academic research based on the company's data and implement protections to make sure spammers and other "bad actors" cannot benefit from Musk's proposal to "open-source" Twitter's algorithm, the letter said.
As Musk prepares to take control of one of the world's most influential tech platforms, Tuesday's letter from civil society groups could find a receptive audience. Last week, according to the Financial Times, Twitter wrote a message to advertisers addressing perceived nervousness about the Musk deal — and reassuring brands that Twitter will continue to be a safe place to advertise.
Even if Musk ultimately decides against undoing Twitter's policies, his sole ownership of the company highlights his unaccountable power, said Nicole Gill, co-founder and executive director of Accountable Tech. Gill added that because Musk has sought to pay for Twitter with loans against Tesla and Twitter shares, he could be more vulnerable to downturns in Twitter's business than he may let on. ("I don't care about the economics at all," Musk has said of Twitter's business.)
"The way this deal is structured, he has to care," Gill said.

There is no church in heaven sir.

No competition

You will only be required to account for how you lived your life. No one will ask you the church you attended in heaven.

ok, so what?

I hate the Left. All the evils of this age, they introduced it. Satan is a democrat

GODPUNISHALABI:
see lies no part of that book mentioned twitter

Read chapter one again and pay attention of every word

Bonesbreaker:
are you for Real what's the name of the book

1984 by George Owell. Published 1932

BlackSpanner:
How can someone get the book.

It's on Amazon. I think there are e-versions available too

cocolacec:
Tinubu haters come and jam your heads

The quote above was ever made by Fashola. It's the low budget job of those who want to validate Tinubu.

Nigerians will go for Fashiola Osinbajo any day. Senior lawyers with brain.

You lots who suggest that a professor of law can't contest because one drug baron recommended him as VP are pathetic. Fashola or Osinbajo are qualified and can contest. Deal with it

Go and read the book title 1984 published in 1932.

The books tells you everything you need to know happening today.

The book says in the future, you wont need women to have kids. Tubes that look like will be made to mass produce babies.

The scary part about that book when those babies are made and brought out. It will trend on Twitter. How the hell did the author know about Twitter in 1932

ok This one sweet me.

Junk journalism at its peak. Let them present their evidence before court.

Obi is a lawyer and has money to follow it through. He should hire like 4 SANs to put fire on their as.s

You have minister of education under Buhari whose annual salary is 12 million buying a 100 million APC form and APC looks the other way its a man who has never held a political position nor has access to tax payers money that media and EFCC is chasing

See Buhari's ministers dolling out 100 million to buy presidential form. not to talk of lobbying delegates. and Nigerians are not asking questions

Someone said polygamy is not about men being promiscuous but about all having a chance to get married

Super cop indeed

Hypocrisy is when same MURIC wants Tinubu or any muslim to take over from Buhari but Sanwo-Olu should not do 2nd term because he is a Christian

An Islamic group, Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has condemned the endorsement of Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his second term bid, describing it as “unfair and provocative.”

This was in reaction to last week, widely reported endorsement of the incumbent Governor of the State, Sanwo-Olu, for a second term in office for the 2023 gubernatorial election by the Governance Advisory Council, GAC, an apex decision making organ of APC in Lagos.

The Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, expressed the group’s displeasure over the Governor’s second term endorsement in a statement he personally signed on Monday.

MURIC maintained that the endorsement was in violation of the long-standing unwritten rule on rotational governance between Muslims and Christians in Lagos State.



Akintola said the Christians have had their two terms and “it is the turn of Muslims to produce a governor by 2023.”

According to MURIC, “It is on record that ex-Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, a Christian, spent four years in office and another Christian, Babajide Sanwo-Olu was brought in ostensibly to complete the Christians’ two terms which expire by May 2023 when a Muslim, ceteris paribus, is expected to take over the reins of office.

That is why Muslims in Lagos State regard the recent endorsement given to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to run for the Christians’ third term as unfair, unjust and provocative.

“It may not be known in official circles, but Lagos Muslims are grumbling and we have been under pressure for some time now to speak up.

MURIC rejects exclusivism in matters of governance the unwritten laws should have been adhered to.

“Lagos Muslims are taxpayers and key stakeholders in issues affecting the welfare of Lagos citizens. We must, therefore, be consulted on matters of governance.

The Ogun State Government is set, today, to honour the 15-year-old student of Ambassadors School, Ota, Miss Faith Adesewa Odunsi, who, last month, won the Global Open Mathematics competition.

Odunsi, who emerged the winner of the global tourney by 30 clear points ahead of opponents from China, the United States (U.S.), Australia, the United Kingdom (UK), South Africa and Germany, first won the hearts of many in 2018 when she set a record in the Cowbellpedia Mathematics Competition by answering 19 questions in 60 seconds.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Kunle Somorin, said also to be honoured were other indigenes of the state that have won academic laurels in different fields. They include Mr. Olasunkanmi Opeifa, Mrs. Oluyemisi Oladejo and Mr. Olalekan Adeeko.

Opeifa, one of the 10 finalists for 2020 Global Teacher Prize, teaches English Language at Government Day Secondary School, Karu-Abuja, but hails from Igbogila in Yewa North Local Council. Oladejo, a teacher with Oronna High School, Ilaro, is the first prize-winner for the 2020 African Writer’s Award, while Adeeko from Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta, won the 2020 African Union Continental Teacher Prize.

Also to be recognised are Tijani Fatimo of Abeokuta Grammar School; Oguntade Treasure of Molusi College, Ijebu-Igbo and Okusanya Jesutofunmi from Adeola Odutola College, Ijebu-Ode who won the first, second and third prizes respectively at the National Mathematics Olympiad of the National Mathematical Centre in Abuja.

We used to have abominations and taboos

Today, this generation push the boundaries of morality

Is it that we don't have enough women in that state or community? No. Its to do the unthinkable.

They will still cheat on her

A debt we all owe

What matters is where we go to when we leave here.

Accept Jesus while you can

BOOK NA HARAM

I believe in equity, fairness and good conscience.
Had a conversation with one of my old school mate from the North. He said Nigeria is ripe for Muslim Muslim ticket.

I asked him if a Christian flag bearer from down south choose a Christian from the North as VP. Will the Muslim North accept it.

He started his response with 'actually' bla bla bla. Clearly he knew his people won't accept it.

I asked him again, if a southern christian president ends tenure and picks a christian from the North to succeed, will the Northern Muslim accept it. He said a Blatant No.

Why preach it when you won't accept it if done to you.

Is Nigeria genuinely ready for Oneness?

See what Reno said.

100 million naira is a lot of money though.

Naturally a civil or public servant should not have such money. After buying they still need to campaign and lobby delegates.

Let us look at this matter objectively. The EFCC saw a multi millionaire private businessman called Obi Cubana spending millions during his mother’s burial, and they invited him for questioning. If EFCC don’t invite any APC government official that pays the ₦100 million APC Presidential nomination for questioning, then they are biased.

How can a private multi millionaire with known businesses be a suspect in EFCC’s eye, but an APC government official earning ₦12 million per annum buying a ₦100 million Presidential nomination form is not a suspect. Please someone explain this logic!

KingOfAllIgbos:
Your obsession with Yoruba because of their superiority over you was evident.

All you did was to rant on and on about them in a manner less manner. When you learn to write something more intellectual, then you would be taken seriously.

Superiority? What an ambition!

If i ask you to list 3 things that make Yoruba superior than any other tribe in Nigeria, you will either turn it to argument or resort to insults. Typical.

Why not start by refuting any of the things stated in the article. but your bias has to becloud you.

KingOfAllIgbos:
But the writer is obviously fixated on Yorubas.

Evidently, he has inferiority complex. That was the only example the fool could find.

Well written without insulting anyone but your lack of manners had to show as you resorted to insulting the writer.

You also lack Honesty, Buhari, Shagari and IBB in the article are also Yoruba's right?

You can't help insulting right

ok

Akponmfet:
Maybe you should tell your people to stop stealing, once you stop stealing maybe other parts of Nigeria will begin to trust you again.
Nobody wants to associate with criminals.
Biafraland is well known for crime,90% of armed robbers and other criminals in Nigeria come from Biafra.
STOP STEALING

Yes. All the politicians that looted Nigerian treasury from 1960 are all Igbos. Igbos have been president of Nigeria, they head NNPC, Custom, FIRS, Mines and agriculture. Etc. Igbos have looted Nigeria and that's why Nigeria is impoverished. Infact, its Igbos kidnapping and asking for millions in Kaduna and Zamfara. Igbos are thieves. Stop taking that weed. It kills slowly.
