What makes them Igbo?

It is the cultural affinity

SadiqBabaSani:
2027 is the best bet for Seyi TINUBU, Deltans in Lagos will support him.


The only person who we may support aside him is Ambode and that is if he agrees to support Seyi after his last tenure of 4Yrs

Why would Deltans support him

Yes you are right .
The topic isn't about only believers but actually discerning the voice of God .

But only believers can discern the voice of God's spirit because they are born again .

what other religion, didn't they hear from God

The Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, has amplified the narrative about Seyi Tinubu, President Bola Tinubu’s son to become the next Governor of Lagos State.


Conversations about Seyi succeeding Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu started late last year when a socio-political organisation, Friends of Seyi Tinubu (FOST) endorsed him for the number one political office in the state.


Speaking in an interview with Seun Okinbaloye, Olawande, who described Seyi as his leader and mentor, said the president’s son has the capacity to lead Lagos State.

The minister argued that Seyi is not too young to be a governor, adding that he is (Seyi) a well-trained young man, who has supported and elevated many young Nigerians even when his father was not the president.

“He is not too young to become a governor, that’s the truth, adding that Seyi is qualified to become the next Lagos State Governor. He is a well trained youngman that has built a lot of young people, massive young people even when his father is not the president,” Olawande said.

The minister, however, claimed Seyi has nothing to do with the endorsement by groups campaigning for him to become a governor.

Olawande said, “Seyi is not the one engineering the campaign to become the next governor of Lagos State.”


“Everybody has tendency to become whatever he/she wants to become… This is what I’ve understand (sic) too, when you are outside there or you’re popular or you have one or two things to do, people would say a lot of things about you.”

Meanwhile, since the campaign for him to succeed Sanwo-Olu started in 2024, the president’s son has neither confirmed nor denied having a political ambition ahead of the 2027 general election.

Those children are certainly returning back to the streets because there are no effective structures to retain those children with their birth families...children social care is no joke!

The government has the financial might to do this but refused because they didn't want these children to be educated and enlightened.

It seem to me that the government and elite in the north encourages the alimagiri system,so that the children will not grow up and ask them questions or to be accountable for the homonguous money they've looted for decades without anything to show.

It was even a southern president that built alimagiri schools in all the northern states,their leaders doesn't care a bit

Before bills will start pilling up,thank God you have savings

Good,but culture is not just all about atire,it also includes food,dances,beliefs and more importantly how you conduct yourself as an ambassador of your country.

So I lost my job December, and I have purposed in my heart never to tell my wife. The reason is because I don't want a situation where I get to regret telling her because of disrespect.

The thing is... I will still be depending on my savings until I get a new job, but I don't want to be staying at home as a jobless man.

So please can you suggest for me the various places where I can go to spend time perhaps from 8am to 5pm daily? I don't want to appear as being jobless to my wife.

Please any suggestions please. I am aware of how the society deal apprehensively to jobless grown men, so please be calculative in your suggestions. Thank you.

what is nature of the job you lost

Some of the challenges of a Christian in his or her walk with God :

1. How to be mindful of the voice of the spirit
2. Discerning the voice of the holy spirit from his own .

3. Accepting that it is the voice of the spirit when it does not favors him .

4. Obeying the voice of the spirit .


Share what you perceptions .

The person in the human body is a spirit, he speaks to us wheather you are believer or not.

Spirit is attached to every human body

All of a sudden ikweres are now Igbo.
They are no longer binis.
Confused mofos

They bear Ibo names ditto Anioma, they cannot run away from their roots.They are Ibos

budaatum:
Its actually a Nigerian problem. Or at least a problem that will affect all us Nigerians.

They still have to eat despite not knowing how to feed themselves, and crime will be an option.

I agree with you because you can't see this alimagiri system in other Islamic states.

It is only practiced in Nigeria, ostensibly because of the high rate of poverty and that of polygamy and bearing children they cannot fend for.

budaatum:
First they create a problem of alimanjeri, and now then mopping up the alimanjeri problem they created.

I so hate how they ruin the future of these kids with ignorance and stupidity. Its a travesty we will all pay for one day.

It is a social/cultural/regious problem

Nigeria's largest city have begun evacuating more than 5,000 street children seen as a "security threat" and a growing concern as an economic crisis forces more to fend for themselves. The Hisbah, a regional police force tasked with enforcing Islamic Sharia law, have carried out midnight raids on motor parks, markets and street corners in the regional capital, Kano, since the beginning of the year, evacuating children as they sleep.

"We have so far mopped up 300 of these boys from the streets and taken them into a camp provided for their rehabilitation," Hisbah's director-general Abba Sufi told AFP. "Their continued living on the streets is a huge social and security threat because they are potential criminal recruits."

"They are a ticking time bomb that needs to be urgently defused with tact and care," said Sufi.


In November, Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf set up a committee to rid the city of the street children, most of whom are boys. Many sleep in the open and have no access to education or parental care.

With the highest divorce rate in Nigeria, according to official figures, Kano is dealing with a surge in children from broken homes.

Largely left to fend for themselves, the boys roam the city, begging, selling items at traffic lights and scavenging for scrap metal to sell to get money to feed themselves.

The west African economic powerhouse faces its worst economic crisis in decades, with inflation soaring to 34.6 percent in November, leaving many struggling to eat.

Nigeria has 18.5 million out-of-school children, with Kano State accounting for 1.9 million, the highest rate in the country, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in a 2022 survey.

The Kano figure accounts for 39% of the total number of children living in the state, the 2022 Nigeria Multidimensional Poverty survey said.

"Some of them are from Kano, while others are from other states," said Hisbah commander Aminu Daurawa. "The first step is profiling them and identifying where they came from."

Some were sent from villages to learn how to read the Koran at informal Islamic religious schools called almajiri. Residents said many students of the Koranic schools beg for food and alms between classes.

Attempts by authorities and local groups to intervene and support the age-old almajiri system have faced opposition from traditional clerics.

The Hisbah police plan to provide "psychosocial" support and counselling to the children before enrolling those who show interest in school, Sufi said, adding that others will be given seed money to start a trade of their choice.

Daurawa told AFP that out-of-state children will be repatriated after their rehabilitation.

Previous attempts to clear the city of street children have failed.

Between 2017 and 2018, the Hisbah evacuated some 26,000 children and reunited them with their parents in and outside Kano, but they returned to the streets after a lull, according to Daurawa.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities in Kano shut almajiri schools and transported the pupils to their states, but they returned when the schools reopened.

"We want to avoid a repeat of the past experience, which is why we changed approach by camping the children and rehabilitating them before sending them back into the society," Sufi said.

Good initiative.URHOBO to the world.

Nnamdipapa:
Can someone articulate for me the benefits of this organization to the average Igbo man the past, let's say, five years?

What are they doing or supposed to be doing?

The fact that you have not felt their impact direct doesn't mean it is useful to the entire ndigbo.

Thewrath:
In an attempt to paint the SE as unsafe,you have forgotten that they kidnap and kill in thousands in the north! Some communities and local govt in the north are controlled by terrorists!

I was surprised by this homonguous and fake report.

Everyone knows that the north east tops the list in insecurity, highest ransom payment and banditry in the country.

This report is politically motivation.

Nigeria borders are very porous, they are den for smugglers who move contrabands in and out with the active connivance of the custom officers.

Savedday2:
Sometimes I think maybe the Devil is a Nigerian

They do worst in other climes

Safyqueen:
I can't believe sharing same country with this kind of people. Happy to be a Muslim.

It cut across religion.It is the values the society attached to wealth

The youths ot these days are very desperate to aquire wealth.

They don't want work hard, they are fond of looking for short cuts .

They can do anything to get it, eat with them with long spoon.

Kobojunkie:
There are over 4000 different identified deities out there. So your write-up is not balanced, to begin with. You are on a forum filled with Nigerians yet your focus is on a God that is written to have no connections whatsoever with Nigerians or the nation of Nigeria; the God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ of Israel, clearly revealed in Israelite scripture that they are both only concerned with descendants of the man Jacob. So how we go take answer your question?

please quote the scriptures to support your claims

BrotherJapa:
It does not matter to Buhari. That was the person trusted with the security of Nigeria. Katsina is a very tiny state, I have been there once.

That someone like Buhari is a general in the Nigerian army is a testament to the cluelessness of our military.

No,the skewed quota system in the country

abobote:
Buhari created the bandits

Because of his despiration for power, supported by their south west allies

Safyqueen:
Still suffering from GEJ's 2015 defeat in 2025. Mr man move on. What evidence do you have that GEJ's defeat was carried out by bandits?
Even as at then , what we had was boko Haram not bandits.

I didn't say they used bandits to defeat GEJ during
election rather they used it to rubbish his administration as they are presently doing to Asiwaju.

What is the difference between Boko Haram and bandits

Northern Nigeria is on fire from bandits attack.

The monster they used against Goodluck Ebele Jonathan administration is now hydra headed and is now hunting the whole region.

It is now an herculean task for the government and people to tame the monster.

Labour Party Caretaker Committee has said the party will hold the All Progressives Congress (APC), and its spokesperson, Felix Morka, responsible if any harm befalls Mr Peter Obi or his associates.

The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee, Senator Nenadi Usman, in a statement issued on Thursday, expressed concern at the recent incendiary remarks made by Morka, during his appearance on national television on January 5.

Usman said such inflammatory rhetoric has no place in the nation’s democracy, adding, “It undermines national unity, discourages productive political discourse, and endangers lives.”


According to her, the statement not only poses a direct threat to the life, reputation, and business interests of Mr. Peter Obi but also constitutes an affront to the principles of democracy, decency, and responsible political engagement.

“Mr. Peter Obi, a man of impeccable character, has devoted his life to the service of Nigeria and the pursuit of good governance.

“He has consistently demonstrated that competence, merit, and respect for the rule of law should guide leadership.

“To attack him with baseless allegations and threats is an indication of the APC’s inability to engage constructively on the issues that matter to Nigerians,” she stated.

Senator Usman reminded Morka and the APC that words have consequences, and called on security agencies to investigate the matter and ensure that those who use public platforms to incite violence or issue veiled threats are held to account.

“Political leaders must rise above pettiness and focus on addressing the pressing challenges facing our nation, including insecurity, unemployment, and economic instability,” Senator Usman advised.


The LP caretaker committee Chairman assured that the party remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the values of transparency, justice, and inclusion.

“We will not be cowed or distracted by threats or intimidation.

“Mr. Peter Obi represents hope and progress for millions of Nigerians, and we will continue to stand by him in his pursuit of a better Nigeria,” she added.


Senator Usman called of the APC to immediately issue a public apology to Mr Peter Obi and retract the offensive statements made by its National Publicity Secretary.

“Anything less would be a tacit endorsement of such reckless and dangerous behaviour.

“As leaders, we owe it to Nigerians to promote peace, unity, and responsible political dialogue.

“Let us not forget that the true measure of leadership lies in how we treat one another, even in the face of disagreement,” she advised.

Anyone who could successfully stage own kidnap and negotiate ransom would have no problem carrying out an actual kidnap.

Reverse that prayer,a girl child is more purposeful than that of a male.

Bobodee09:
She should have told the guy to fake his own kidnap and collect the ransom from his parent.

She is the foolish one here from every point of view.

The boy is wiser and had more influence over the girl.
