See your life? You have claimed, amongst your many identities, to be Yoruba. Yet why do you say "you agreed to my submission that you won't get power in 2023" when you should say "you agreed to my submission that you we won't get power in 2023".

The saying below applies to you perfectly.

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive?

candidtalk:
Please, who is "your own" we have betrayed? GEJ, SE or SS? when they accuse you of being Igbo you begin to cry not realising your argument gives you away because only Igbos reason and talk as you do. Betrayal is creating a political Party merger of APC, from mainly ACN and CPC, to depose the woeful and destructively corrupt PDP that happened to have GEJ as its latest 'gatekeeper'?

Because GEJ is from the south we Yorubas should ignore his misrule and swear blind allegiance to give him 95% of our votes as the Igbos did for southern solidarity ba? Nigeria could be dying and all you want is for us to return her potential killer to finish her off because we are "southern brothers"?

You Igbos are not only ignorant and hateful but highly undemocratic to boot also. Even brothers vote against brother and sons against fathers in Yorubaland in pursuit of democratic progress. You Igbos are still 100 of years behind and that is why you think we owed GEJ clannish votes even as he was simply disastrous and leading us to the edge of the cliff in 2014-2015.

LegendHero:
Fun fact: I’m also not from the south, I’m a Hausa just supporting the Yoruba because I am confused like you.

LegendHero:
Ehya sorry ehn, I’m not the cause of your confusion bro. Okay you are not a southerner, can you allow us rest now?

LegendHero:
Lol, the guy don start to dey change mouth say him dey always claim the 3 tribes. I don laugh tire coz he’s now very confused!

candidtalk:
Dude must be high. He needs rest

candidtalk:
What bone of contention? The cretinous argument that power will never go to the SW in 2023 and your pontification you prefer it to remain in the North, that would have had it by 8 years by then, because of your deep hatred of the Yorubas? Bruv, you are an embarrassment. They say "make hay while the Sun shines".

Igbos never did this and stuck with their PDP 'food is ready' politics while the Yorubas worked hard to build and support a new platform, APC, they now have every right to expect reciprocal support from ala one good turn deserves another.

You Igbos are naturally unfair as a people anyway so I get it that you feel your sworn enemy, APC, should now bless you and reject Yorubas who aided their birth, growth and success. Life does not work like that merely because it is how you people operate in Ala Igbo. Reaping where one has not sown is abhorrent worldwide. So also denying others just rewards for their effort. Only you Igbos don't get this.

candidtalk:
You need to shut up. You only make a bigger fool of yourself the more you talk.

ProWalker:
STFU nyanmiri

LegendHero:
Haha this is your past quote Igbo man. Why denying your heritage online for heaven sake!

Seems the Yorubas are so mighty such that you had to hide under the banner of a northerner to give your opinion. Are you scared of us?

candidtalk:
You are not a Northerner either which leaves the option you may be from Cameroon. Yet I will bet any money you are Igbo because only Igbos, even more than his Ijaw kinsmen, will ever claim Yorubas "betrayed" GEJ. Giving him 44% votes against 54% given to PMB in 2015 is "betrayal' of GEJ to you even after the world saw how GEJ marginalised the Yorubas from 2011 to 2015? Can you Igbos, always clannish and hateful in your voting pattern, ever vote as dispassionately as the Yorubas did for GEJ in 2015 even after his cruelty towards us?

How about how the Igbos betrayed Nigeria by giving a very corrupt and incompetent President 95% of their vote while the entire Universe was united in adjudging that GEJ must go for Nigeria to stand a chance of avoiding the implosion Jonathan was leading us towards? Is it not you Igbos who are the real betrayers with the way you automatically always support what/who is bad for Nigeria?

ProWalker:
Ibo man, your post history is there for the whole world to see, stop acting foolish already.

LegendHero:
Edited: I learnt you are Igbo who has been hiding as a northerner since. Your past post on Nairaland showed you’re actually Igbo.

LegendHero:
If truly you are not a southerner then that confirms the statement that most northerners are illiterate and I’m not sorry to say that?

Which history book told you PDP controlled most states in the SW in 2011?

This is 2011 governors after the election which Jonathan won across the SW.

Oyo had Ajimobi ACN
Ogun had Amosun ACN
Lagos had Fashola ACN
Ekiti had Fayemi ACN
Osun had Aregbesola ACN
Ondo had Mimiko LP.

Can you see all the SW governors after 2011 election were majorly in ACN and we still voted Jonathan a PDP candidate because of the southern consideration.

Now crawl back to wherever you came out from and stop constituting nuisance online without any historical fact to back your absurd claims.

candidtalk:
Please who is "one of your own"? The way you Igbos talk and act, only dumb Yorubas will ever view you guys as brothers or even well-wishers. You insult us 24/7, even as we are hospitable to you, and tell the world we are the "biggest problem of Nigeria" bla, bla, bla. Everything negative about Yorubas in cyberspace you Igbos are responsible for.

We don't own you diddly squat and modern Yorubas know this. Our fathers have their ways of thinking we are not obliged to follow. For us today, one good turn deserves another. Kanu, IPOB and the average Igbo have shown us what we need to note. Don't show us hate and enmity 24/7 and 365 days a year to then think we will show you love. Yoruba mumu don do bro.

ProWalker:
Chest beating. You swore on your mother’s honour that Buhari will never become President in 2015 and 2019.

Bring it on in 2023 and you will again be sorrowful

ProWalker:
Lol. Ibo man, be honest for once.

LegendHero:
What about the betrayal of Azikwe and gang up against Awolowo?

What about betrayal of Ekwueme and gangup against Awolowo in 1979 and 1983?

What about betrayal of Sylvester Ugoh and gangup against Abiola in 1993?

You are a comedian by saying Southwest betrayed you when in actual fact the Igbo man have been the betrayal of the southern creed.

Back to Jonathan, SW voted and fought for his emergence when he was acting president and in 2011 election even with the fact that ACN controls the west then.

Bleep you, the SS, the SE and Jonathan. We are not sorry for anything that transpired during those periods and we do not lose a tiny bit of sleep over your threats!

candidtalk:
A proper man dies once. Igbos should grow balls and stop begging all over the place. Demand the PDP ticket and leave Yorubas to benefit from their hard work for the APC. Meet at the poll and winner takes all while the loser should have the heart to shut up and accept their loss like men should do.

LegendHero:
Accept your fate, in as much as the Igbo man keeps looking for the downfall of the Yoruba man who do not offend him in any way, the living God will always make sure people that look for the downfall of others perish with all their hate.

The SS & SE are more populous than the SW. These two region share the same mindset and voting pattern and YET the SW have emerged more than them in terms of southern presidency in Nigeria’s history.

Another fun fact, the SS & SE caucus have formed alliance with the North more than the SW and yet the SW have emerged more than them in terms of southern presidency in Nigeria‘s history.

Hear this brethren, if you keep trying to play spoilers to the SW rather than forge your own future, the success of an Igbo presidency will forever be a mirage in as much as Nigeria exists!

The people of the South-East region, an area predominantly occupied by the Igbo tribe will never produce Nigeria’s president from their extraction until they humbly plead other Nigerians for it.



Junaid Mohammed, a second republic lawmaker, made the remarks while noting that those threatening to produce the next Nigerian leader or secede from the country are wasting their time.



Since the return to democratic rule in 1999, the South-East region has not produced a president from its extraction despite being one of the major ethnic group in the country.

Some residents of the area while claiming to be marginalised are threatening to secede from the country and are supporting the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), a proscribed group championing the secession cause.





Since President Muhammadu Buhari won his re-election bid, the call for who will succeed him in office has rented the air with some, including the Igbos, opining that it is the turn of the South-East region.

Although there is no zoning agreement in the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) it is believed that power will shift to the Southern protectorate, leaving the South-West as top contenders in the ruling party.

But some individuals considered influential in the Northern protectorate, including Mohammed, are clamouring for power to remain in the area.





Mohammed is also of the opinion that the South-West, predominantly occupied by the Yoruba tribe, should bury the thought of succeeding Mr Buhari in office.

“As far as I am concerned, if they, the Yoruba, believe that they have a divine right to have the Presidency in 2023, I think that they are being misguided,” the former lawmaker was quoted by Sun Newspaper to have said in an interview.



Mohammed warned that the South-East should not align itself with the South-West due to the alleged betrayal tendency of the Yoruba. He also explained how the Igbo can achieve their age long dream of producing a president from their extraction.

“But part of the problem today as I see it is that they are trying to repeat what they did to the Igbo historically. They would say “well, we are together, we would do everything together”. But when the time comes, they (Yoruba) will simply take their own way and do things to their own advantage. That is their look out and the look out of the Igbo people because apparently the Igbo people do not want to learn from history and that is a tragedy.

“And those of you who imagined, like our brothers in the Southeast, that they can put a gun on us all and say give us the Presidency or else, they are wasting their time.





“It is not going to happen until they do the needful, which is sit down and do their homework. Go round and persuade the rest of Nigerians that the destiny of this country, the wealth of this country, the security of the country, if made available to them, is going to be in good hands. That they are going to be fair, they are going to be more responsible, and they are going to do what perhaps others have not done in the previous administrations. Until you do that, this is the only way you can get the Presidency,” Mohammed was quoted as saying.

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, has lost his verified Facebook page to internet hackers.

Mr Fani-Kayode made this known on Friday morning while notifying his followers through his Twitter handle.

“My verified @facebook page (FEMI FANI-KAYODE) which has 1 million followers was hacked by evil souls and the whole page deleted,” the former minister tweeted.

The incident is said to have occurred on Wednesday, the day he celebrated his 59 birthday.

“This was done on my birthday after I received a record 33,000 likes and 23,000 goodwill messages on my birthday post. We are trying to sort it out,” he added.

The Federal Government has finally reached an agreement on the adjustment formula for the implementation of the new minimum wage.

The agreement reached late Thursday night was made known by Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment.

This is after several attempts by the negotiating parties failed to bear yield fruits, six months after President Muhammadu Buhari gave his assent to the N30,000 new minimum wage.

“After some delicate negotiations (with both Ministers as conciliators) Government & Labour have finally reached an agreement on the consequential adjustments of other wages following the implementation of the enhanced minimum wage of N30,000. We are now working on the communique,” Keyamo tweeted Thursday night.

Mr Keyamo provided further information on the agreement which was signed by both parties.

The parties agreed that officers on CONPSS salary structures of level 07 should be adjusted to 23.2 per cent, level 08 gets 20 percent, level 09 was modified to 19 percent, level 10 to 14 was pegged at 16 percent while those on level 15 to 17 was adjusted to 14 percent.

While those at CONHESS, CONRAISS, CONRISS II, CONRIASS II, CONMESS, CONTEDDIS and CONPCASS on level 07 to equivalent gets 23.2 percent, that of level 08-14/equivalent is 16 percent while level 15-17/equivalent was fixed at 10.5 percent.

Speaking at the end of the meeting, the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, said the third category of the country’s wage structure which are military and paramilitary officers were also factored in in the agreement.

“Since they are not in the civil service , theirs will be communicated through the appropriate channels. Their percentages of increase is confidential,” he said.

With the new development, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) will no longer embark on the planned industrial action it was warming up to.

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved new aides for his wife, Aisha.

The appointees are attached to the office of the First Lady, a position the president promised to scrap if elected president while in opposition.

He had vowed to do way with the office because it is unknown to the Nigerian Constitution.

During his first term, Mrs Buhari was addressed as wife of the president but has since reverted to the title of First Lady since her husband won re-election.

In a statement by Suleman Haruna, spokesman to Mrs Buhari, the president approved the following appointments which takes effect immediately:

Dr. Mairo Almakura – Special Assistant on African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM).
Muhammed Albishir – Special Assistant on Organization of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD).
Wole Aboderin – Special Assistant on Non-Governmental Organizations.
Barr. Aiyu Abdullahi – Special Assistant on Media and Publicity.
Zainab Kazeem – Special Assistant on Domestic and Social Events.
Funke Adesiyan – Personal Assistant on Domestic and Social Events.

Meanwhile, the first lady is said to have thanked her husband for assigning more aides to her.

Punch Newspaper reports that the expression took place while she played host to wives of governors who visited her at the Presidential Villa, on Tuesday.
