“ targeted with two Hellfire missiles, an hour after sunrise on July 31, and that there had been no US boots on the ground in Afghanistan”.

That missile no be here. They sent the man straight he’ll fire, decapitating him completely.

Please when will PMB ask the Americans, Israelis, Europeans, Chinese and Russians for military assistance.

Painfully they tell us how terrorists use money from kidnapping to purchase arms. How these arms are able to easily enter our country is unbelievable. We are told how large swaths of the northern lands are not secured. What has happened to employing more personnel into the security? They tell us how budgetary allocations are not enough, yet they tell us how the budgets were not used up 100%.

How has this country arrived at this very poor level? The only reason why some leaders find themselves in the position is their “lifelong ambition”. They have nothing to offer in the end , except to use the positions to corruptly enrich themselves and their associates.

Once again I repeat that it is time to go our separate ways peacefully. Let the Yorubas go, Let the Igbos go. Let the Ijaws go. Let the Fulanis go.

Amongst all d ethnic grps in nigeria, they score the lowest in all u've listed above, yet they demand the same things they lack/cannot give.

The average Igbo man is intolerant but turns around to say u hate him for detesting his intolerance.

The average Igbo man is very very unaccommodating as can be witnessed by d dirge of other ethnic groups in alaigbo, yet they claim u hate them despite giving them free room to blossom in ur backyard....something they'll never do in theirs.

The average ignomsn can hate for Africa, yet tags u a hater when u try to defend urself from his toxicity.

My brother, if person put mouth for their Mata, person nor go finish.

The telling thing is dt these same attitudes they exhibit to other ethnic groups in Nigeria, they export same to other countries of the world hence tarnishing the image of the,rest of us.

From south Africa to Ghana to even small Togo na d same tin. When u hear they attack Nigerian traders....know say na dem.

Some of you youths have unfortunately been so indoctrinated by your parents and grandparents on how to hate the Igbos. Some of you think that Lagos forms the whole of the SW and the presence of the zig is in Lagos is intimidating and threatening to your ownership of the land.

You all seem to play the ostrich as trailer loads of well armed northern youths arrive Lagos, the SW as in other zones daily. While the other political zones take active steps to prevent the sworn land grabbers, you turn your attention to the Igbos. Sunday Igboho in his wisdom focused on the invaders inside the forests of the SW, where they have also claimed as their ancestral lands, but you chose the path of political appeasement. So far has it worked? Has the evil visited by the Fulanis abated in the SW?

“They tarnish the image of the rest of us”. Please tell us which image the rest of you have. Please prove to us how people of your tribe have never been involved in international crime. Tell us how many of your political leaders are not serving jail terms over stealing of your commonwealth.

You need to narrate to us your personal experience of an Igbo person showing you hatred. Define hatred to us and prove how hatred only is found in one group of people in an entire nation.

SugarGirl44:
For the gullible Yorubas with no mind of their own, who want to impress the ibos, those same ibos that have been cursing your generations and don't fail to show their hatred for you.
You can easily forgive them, but you can't forgive Tinubu who hasn't offended you directly.
Continue with your political correctness o.
If obi mistakenly wins, you'll be reduced to a nonentity when you're a born king/queen.
Nigeria has made you lose value in yourself.

It's better for you not to vote at all than leave Tinubu, as brilliant as he is, and vote for a mediocre called obi.
We should all be asking for Yoruba Nation, but pending when that happens, the least we deserve is have access to the presidency, esp judging by the number of Yoruba brains that Nigeria has killed.

It's a shame for a Yoruba man to campaign for obi.
Ibo would never do the same for you, they only work against our interest, read your history, but you foolishly want to please them.

A word is enough for the wise.
Ire o.

Say shame to you yourself for this disgraceful and completely ignorant comment.

“It's a shame for a Yoruba man to campaign for obi.
Ibo would never do the same for you, they only work against our interest, read your history, but you foolishly want to please them”

Joe Igbokwe (that is if you know the name) is from Anambra state. He is one of the right hand men of BAT and he has been shouting from the top of the roof in favour of Tinubu. He has been attacked physically on several occasions on account of his support for Tinubu. He has remained an unshakable Tinubu loyalist all his political years.

Ben Akabueze, the DG Budget office, is a staunch Tinubu loyalist.

Hope Uzodimma, Umahi are APC governors of the Southeast. They without doubt intend to deliver the SE to APC in 2023 and your BAT, your fellow Yoruba man, is the candidate.

What about Igbo political leaders and supporters all over Nigeria and the world, who believe that APC is their messiah and source of livelihood?

Shame on you. Rather than focus of burning national issues; discuss how to make our economy better; discuss how to create jobs for millions of jobless youths out there like you; discuss how to develop our infrastructures and communities; you have chosen to play an irresponsible ethnic card on the social media.

It is very unfortunate that people like you think that leadership by tribe will develop your country. It does not work that way. The desire of every reasonable Nigerian is a very good political leader, irrespective of tribe, who can take us away from the forest that people like you voted Buhari twice to push us into.

People like you think that Nigeria revolves only between the SW and the NW. You think that votes for BAT should only come from those two zones. That being so, how would you expect to use the natural resources of other contributing zones to develop your SW/NW selfish Nigeria? You think that Yorubas who vote for PO are not wise and vice versa. Everyone is free in a democracy to choose their preferred candidates on the basis of the personal convictions and not ethnic beliefs. The Igbos who choose BAT as their candidate see him as a better candidate above others.

By the way, how would the likes of you turn an election into a political battle between the SW and SE? How have you ignored Kwakwanso, another northerner, or Atiku, another northerner after Buhari?

Why is it that your problem is the Igbos? How have you overlooked the Fulanis who are in the forests of the SW as other zones, wreaking havoc, killing, raping and maiming endlessly, without provocation? Why are you not able to confront them, even on the social media? Is that not cowardice?

Jagbajantis intete.

Two men were governors, one in Lagos the other in Anambra . Towards the end of their second term, the one in Lagos sent his retirement bill and got his House of Assembly to approve what you see below as his yearly pension.

1. 300% annual salary as severance package as approved by RMAFAC.
2. 100% of annual basic salary of incumbent gov as salary for LIFE even after leaving office.
3. Six new cars every 3 years
4. A new house in Lagos, minimum 5 bedroom
5. A new house in Abuja or any other location, minimum 5 bedroom.
6. Free medical care for him and members of his family for life.
7. Entitled to cooks, stewards, Gardners, and domestic staffs, all pensionable.
8. 300% of his annual basic salary as governor every 2 years as furniture allowance
9. 100% of annual basic salary as governor as his house maintenance allowance
10. Two DSS officers, 1 female officer for his wife and eight policemen to guard him.
11. 25% of his annual basic salary for personal assistants.
12. 30% of his annual basic salary for car maintenance .
13. 20% of his annual basic salary as utilities maintenance.
14. Pensionable drivers, no limits to the number.

This is apart from what he gets as a percentage of collections from Alpha Beta for tax collections for Lagos State and the total control he has over the governor and the treasury.

But see what the other collects from Anambra State since leaving office as governor:
1. No gratuity
2. No pensions
3. No houses
4. No cars
5. No allowances of any kind
6. No maintenances of any kind.
7. No personal assistants paid by the state.
8. No domestic staffs paid by the state.
9. No aids sponsored by the state.
10. Not even pure water.
11. No shishi from the State.

Now the two men want to be president.
Choose you today who means well for Nigeria and who will serve the people selflessly.

Who for help am before?

I say even the terrorists, bandits, kidnappers tire for the baba. Chai. Even im boys for Nairaland no see mouth talk again.

Who help us see “Darling daddy”? The matter sef weak am so tay nowadays e no see mouth.

Totilopussylick:
Not that they don't have relatives but they chose to keep to their privacy .

Yes oooo.

But if beatings start. If insults start. If troubles start. Is she begins to insult him over lack of money and care. Make dem no call family/church/mosque. Make dem dey remember only the two friends wey witness dem marriage.

With a few months to go and campaign proper due to start soon, it is sincerely hoped that Nigerians will understand the rot they have found themselves in the hands of these old brigade of men. It is hoped that Nigerians can take their destinies in their hands by voting for PO.

Notice that while Tinubu and Atiku are going about focusing on Peter Obi, the same Peter Obi has been going round talking about our economy and how to make our country better. Notice that BAT has been making the same failed promises made in 2015; free education, 100,000 megawatts of electricity, N1 -$1, etc. How their supporters continue to live in such bewitchment and delusion is unbelievable.

Please simply be OBIdient and YUSful for a better and more guaranteed tomorrow.

ImperialYoruba:
Who was Wike, and what was he doing between 1999 and 2007 when Atiku was already an accomplished man, financially and politically?

Wike is a cult-minded, narrow-thinking, self-centered buffoon.

Atiku should ignore him and install a workaround to isolate and pen Wike into his local constituent. Wile insists Atiku must come to Rivers and beg him before he will reconcile. What a freak idiota he is. Atiku does not need Wike at all.

Atiku is dealing with party barrier This is test to see how politically sagacious Atiku is when faced with a political barrier.

Wr know what Tinubu would do if in same situation, but what would Atiku do? Let's wait and see.

So young and inexperienced.

Wike is much younger than Atiku. At the age Wike was between 1999 and 2007, Atiku was working with the customs. At the age Wike presently is, Atiku won the governorship election of Adamawa state and was chosen erroneously by OBJ above other cool headed candidates to become the VP. Atiku grew politically from somewhere, on the platform provided by the late S M Yaradua and Wike did the same.

Wike climed the political ropes from being a local government chairman, until his present position. The same political ropes were climbed by Atiku since 1989, when he joined politics.

No forward thinking man looks at himself as accomplished, otherwise Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Dangote, etc, will simply fold their hands to relax with their enormous wealth. If Atiku was accomplished, he would not be seeking the presidency of this country with several attempts. With all the he has, Tinubu would not be seeking his “lifelong ambition”.

I wonder how you can hide behind social media to call such an important person “buffoon”. Why not make an effort to win an election on your street or in your school?

If you do not know how politics works, shut your mouth, watch and ask questions. Seeing that such important personalities as governors are teaming up with Wike, is enough to prove how dangerous it can be for Atiku to continue to ignore him. Maybe you were 12 years old in 2014 when GEJ ignored the complaints of Rotimi Amaechi. At least you are a witness to the fact that the gang up cost GEJ the election in 2015.

I see in your comment that you were just talking without critical thinking. Please think properly before you comment over such political issues like this next time.

jumper524:
15 states are certain while the rest 5 is still skeptical for now.

All Northwestern states.
All southwest states.
4 northeast states.
3 Northcentral states.

Northwestern states. [/b]I was skeptical about this but the reality is that the Buhari support base are all clamouring for Tinubu. The Northwestern governors coupled with Buhari are all rooting for Tinubu. With elrufai as campaign DG, there's absolutely nothing the 419 tambuwal can do for Tinubu in this region.

[b]Verdict.
Tinubu is expected to win all northwest state and also getting block votes from kano and Katsina. He might likely struggle with Atiku in sokoto but is expected to still win.

South-West: don't even go there. There's nothing any political opposition can do about this region. They should count it out of there equation.
Verdict: Tinubu to monopolize this region.

Northcentral: Tinubu is expected to win 3 states from this region, however only 1 state is certain which is kwara state. But he's most likely to win kogi and Niger.

Verdict: Tinubu to win kwara and kogi while also dragging Niger with Atiku.

Northeast: Bauchi, Borno, Gombe and Yobe should go to tinubu no doubt about it. However Atiku would likely pull an upset in 2 of the four states. Bauchi and gombe most likely.

Verdict: Tinubu to clinch at least 3 states from this region.

Many people online who are less informed about grassroot politics would ask how I expect Tinubu to dominate Northern regions when the likes of Kwankwaso and Atiku who are from there and are contesting the ballots.
Well like I said, they are less informed about grassroot politics until they do research themselves and see kwankwasiya cult followers all praising the jagaban or go to zaria to see northerners all praising the jagaban.
Majority of northerners calls tinubu jagaban for reason best known to them but the fact remains that the love is massive for the jagaban.

Anticipate the 2 million match for jagaban in Kano state. Then una go believe the weight.

Anticipate harsher times and more poverty since you have chosen the route of continuity.

M kpuru mirri cannibal IPIG terrorist Obi diot doing what they do best.

Wasted school fees. Wasted years in the secondary school which your likes never exceed. Such is the life of pigs. Good to note that you are a CONPLETE PIG.

Greed.

“ Though the suspect, Mr George Okoye has been arrested and is currently in police custody, the whereabouts of his wife, Mrs Uzonna Okoye, twin daughters, and son, Somtochukwu Okoye who participated in the beating were still unknown”.

Now the wicked brother and his children have ended without one single property. The children and wife are on the run. When they are caught, they will spend the rest of their lives in jail. The evil brother’s children will not have the opportunity of raising children of their own. They will live the rest of their lives in misery. They will be excommunicated from their own community.

The compensation for the family of the bereaved is the whole properties and peace of mind.

Vanity upon vanity is vanity.

Having been decimated in Syria and Iraq, ISIS made its way into West Africa.

It is quite unfortunate that this government allowed this organization make such inroads into this country, starting with the north. Gradually these northern terrors groups are beginning to gain footholds in the entire country, under a leader who promised to fight terrorists frontally.

Some of us have demanded that the federal government led by PMB/APC should request for international assistance from developed nations, seeing that our military has been overwhelmed. Recently Gov El Rufai also made the call that mercenaries should once again be engaged. This president disengaged them in 2015.

One wonders what the president still waits for seeing the his military, which was once ranked among the best in the world, has been reduced to the hunted, instead of the hunter. Col. Dasuki was detained on account of embezzlement of funds reserved for the military under GEJ. This current government has been in power for 7 years and a few months and this blood letting has worsened. One cannot but wonder what has happened to the military budgets in the years that this government has ruled. Why has the killing assumed such a proportion. Is PMB aware of such occurrences? One still has the fear that he may not, reading from El Rufai informing us that he personally informed the president of the threat of getting kidnapped by his own kinsmen.

We are at the point of worry. No area in this nation is free from this danger.

Is our president is asleep with respect to his responsibilities, can someone please wake him up?

Hopefully these praises will not become abuses, insults, physically fighting, claims and counter claims very soon.

Actors and actresses are not able to differentiate between their private lives and the world of make believe.

It takes a slave to know one. Without doubt from your words, you are from a bloodline of slaves. That makes you a slave and with that flow, down to your generations after you. Certainly you are among the rungs of the earth, if you understand that English.

Hopefully you keep on wallowing in your self induced poverty arising from your wrong choice of thieving looters.

This has nothing to do with barreness, this is criminal

There are several orphanages where someone can go to adopt babies. You can even get a child through a surrogate Mother.

Who said it was not a crime?

I guess you are quite young and inexperienced. Do you know how far she went in search of a child before this act?

Please ask those more experienced than you.

Ofe nsala is not peppersoup.
Preparation and spices used are different.
You don't use uziza leave for any peppersoup.
You don't thicken peppersoup.
You don't use okpei for peppersoup.

Peppersoup must have Calabash nutmeg as the main ingredient.
Nsala don't use it.
It is actually called fisherman soup before it was modified. This is onitsha fisherman soup modified to into this.

“Onitsha fisherman soup? NO. It is native to the Igbos of the riverine areas of Niger Delta. Our brothers and sisters in Cross River and Akwa Ibom have it also as part of their soup.

Nsala soup is not pepper soup? Certainly it is a form of pepper soup. Without adequate pepper in it, the exactness of the taste is lost.

“Separation and spices used are different”. NO. It depends on how you choose to go about it with the ingredients you apply.

“You don’t use uziza leaves for pepper soup”. Who sats? Some people do. It tastes greatly.

“You don’t thicken pepper soup”. Yes and that’s the difference. That’s the reason Nsala is called white soup by some people; the yam in it.

“”It is actually called fishermen soup…”. Already stated to you that it is native to the riverine Igbos of the Niger delta.

Lastly, practically is different from what you read in the books. Your result from your cooking MUST be different from mine, even using the same materials. I have been eating Nsala and pepper soup most of my life and I know what they are.

Na my grandma show me the way from village.

Cheers.

greypencils:
That's my point exactly, With the average Yoruba soup, you see the oil floating on top and that's how we Yorubas like it. What is the Igbo aversion to the oil floating on top? I know that's why you people call us ofe mmanu. We love oil, we can't help ourselves. I am just wondering why Igbos dislike oil. That's all.

Igbos apply oil a lot in their soups. However Nsala is not made with oil. The moment you add oil, its name ceases. It is a form of pepper soup.

Some people call it White Soup.

May we never experience barrenness in our lives. It is a horrible experience. Who knows how long the woman of 53 was waiting.

She made a very fatal error. Most probably a very wrong advice from friends and family.

The best soup in the whole world.
The Asians have their own version of this soup. Visit Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and you’ll never forget the experience.
This soup originates from the Igbos of the Niger Delta.

Without Lagos, these twins would have been hawking otapiapia and gala on the streets of Jos. After making money in Lagos, instead of them to relocate to their potopoto region, they decided to build houses and investments in Lagos. Now the leaders that made Lagos great are those these ungrateful lots are insulting on social media. While the clown who turned Anambra state's resources to develop his personal business is the person these twins are praising like the next messiah.

South West, shine your eyes.

Go school, una no go gree. Get small sense, no way.

So in that your small corner with mosquito net covering you up and candle to light up, you think that Lagos gave them the gift. Lagos gave them the voice?
If Lagos gave those opportunities, how did the likes of Dan Maraya Jos thrive and make their names in the north? Which big names from the SW did Lagos make?

Clearly you do not understand the use of English. When have clowns started managing state resources? Let’s even assume that clowns manage resources. Where have “wise and educated” people like you hidden yourselves? Maybe you were doing some panel beater, Baba Ijebu, mechanic or bus conductor jobs somewhere. Or maybe you were hawking some Ogbomosho ponmo or ose dudu somewhere.

Those from your so called potopoto region are huge property owners in your own domain. The phone in your hand was imported by them. Your home appliances were imported by them. The cloth on your body presently was imported by them. They absolutely control you.

Lagos once had someone from that same potopoto region as its governor. Does that not show you that they play a huge role in the prosperity of Lagos?

If the twins praise the same “clown” as a messiah, isn’t it a sign of their confidence in the ability of the man.

Face your candidate and let’s have his qualities. Let’s know how your candidate intends to make society better and safer. That’s all we need and no some childish mumbo jumbo.

Ussycool:
When this Wike and Atiku saga will end?

No matter what the differences, they should try resolve it amicable for the sake of their party.

APC is also nursing their wound in peace.
Wike sorry for ya lose.

The saga will end the moment @atiku visits Wike to issue a simple apology and ask for understanding. It will end the moment Okowa summons courage to appeal to Wike for understanding.

By the way OBIdience is very key.

Hopefully this will stay permanently. I sincerely all things work out well again marriage for him.

This wickedness cannot be imagined. In a space of one year, the money lost value by such a wide margin. Now that they have made Innoson go to court, they will wait for court ruling. They will delay for years. Of course the Supreme Court governor will get to the Supreme Court over the case. They will delay and frustrate Innoson completely.

Hopefully for the good people of Imo state. At the next election, please vote right. Vote for your peace and sanity.

Even terrorists and bandits tire for the man.
