Wise words
And even though I’m not worthy to speak under you but
I will add that
The average Igbo man has proven to be a nationalist and even to the detriment of his regions development..he goes to even far maiduguri to open his business and live among the locals, learning their language and all
Yet the average Nigerian says they don’t trust the Igbo man which at this point should be the other way round
But the Igbo man as conservative and mature as he is isn’t one to point fingers and throw blames around instead he is still looking for way to build broken bridges
Like in Peter obi who is a perfect representative of the Igbo culture and ideology in politics
He has earned the respect, love ,loyalty and trust and is still earning over nigeria
Sir at this point we cajole you into joining the train for a new Nigeria through Peter obi
A new Nigeria is possible


Signed
A concerned mazi

Opening a business/investment centers around self enrichment .. how many igbo man is running a business with no profit ! pls leave nationalist out of it, no cum dey bo bo us for here

The main core of a nationalist is fighting for a national course, oneness and believing in one course .. any example
How can you be relative to nationalist and you make it a duty to boycott any national protest

Recently, Peter obi sent a mere birthday message to Gowon and his page went on fire from who ?? and you dare talk about nationalist.

That same gowon igbos think they are better than instituted NYSC, which all tribe are beneficiary, whatelse promote national unity more.than Nysc, so many youths from days of our father even got there jobs through this program... thats true nationalist

What is the one thing Igbos can pin point they instituted or pioneered to instill national unity & progress

fvck all these tribalism crap ... see how they dragged Peter Obi all for what, then you expect trust

chiagozien:
Obasanjo even if they called themselves National League of Democrats’, instead of ‘Northern League of Democrats It will never change anything, We're not one is we are not one, name doesn't change anything.
One Nigeria that people have been chanting decades didn't change anything



Nigeria main problem is not leadership, Nigeria main problem is we don't share common value system.

What makes a great Nation are people that share common value.
The way Igbo man think is not the way yoruba man thinks, the way yoruba man thinks is not the way Hausafulanis man think.


Until the right is done you will keep getting the same results you have been getting for over 60 years.

i agree!! how we think is truly different But on a curiosity

what makes how a igbo man think different from how a yoruba or hausa thinks
.. is it genetics or human influences

GeneralPula:
Rotation is working bro..

Ticket is always between north and south. It’s left to the which of the tribe that can work hard to get the ticket and contest for elections!

I hope you know that there are many tribes in the north that are even yet to taste senate presidency, not to talk to Vice President, not to talk of presidency?

Thanks for bring these angle, some part of the north have not smelt the presidency as well ... do we even consider or talk about it for a day
We easily classify the north as northerners But when it comes to south we start using half sense to divide ourselves.
the same way Buhari presidency represent northerners rule is how Tinubu govt represent southern rule ... it is now left for the igbos to prove they are not Southerners

pandax:
Common sense is very far from you!.

So you do not have foreign investors in Nigeria again?, Igbos investment outside Biafra will become foreign investors in the new Nigeria without Igbos.

You talk as though there is one sensor that will automatically switch these businesses

Upon biafra ... what that means is all igbos must vacate Nigeria ( on obey b4 complain) ... but lets tell ourselves the truth how many igbos are truly ready to relocate and leave there businesses

i think igbos need to ask ghanians howfar, cos i see a very naive people basking on fantasies there ancestors planted in there heads. smh
you people think secession is like network port, you carry mtn sim nd just port to airtel same number within 24hrs o tii lor make una follow up on history, ask Ghanaians how it went

kettykin:
You still don't get . I am not a citizen of united Kingdom, France Germany or United states but I own considerable part of their companies via investment. I don't have to delist or so anything in Nigeria when Biafra is realized. I only need to hand over my companies to holding companies or property management or asset management

Yes !! you can ... countries are open to foreign investors. But whats your entry point

I will tell you ... You registers into any of those countries as foreign investor and there system captures you as foreigner thats norm,

I want to understand you, does handing over your company to holding companies or asset management override "your" ownership
Are all businesses even legible for that arrangement

UltraSolid:
Absolutely brilliant talk. OBJ is just playing to the Igbo gallery as usual. A thing many do because they know Igbos are vulnerable to what appears endorsement messages from others siding with insistence of Igbo that they are "marginalised" and "victims".

You're correct surmising that politics is essentially a a game of lobbying. The better you lobby the greater your chance of emerging the choice of the majority. Nothing to do with "deny".

Did you say brillance all my enemies and pocohantas on NL can have a water-free purging day

kettykin:
China, Germany, India, United Kingdom are all independent countries but are investing everywhere in the world and Nigeria. The same thing that will happen to their property is what will happen to the proper of igbos. Igbos are investing all around the globe and no one is asking what will happen to their property in those place.

There courts that will enforce rule of law in London, Paris and newyork

chinese, indians and lebanese are investors are countries, But what is their point of entry these people come in as foreign investors their case is completely different from what IGBos stand to face

How do you begin to delist n revert a registered indigenous enterprise as foreign investment

Dont see yourselves and chinese, Lebanese in the same light,cos Entry point not the same

secession is broad and can be very complicated that why its hard to see secession in modern day
check round the world bro, we aint the only ones

kettykin:
.then let them go peacefully. I still don't have why Nigeria is holding onto igbos like this , if igbos can't rule then let them go

Asides claims and making exist statement, in real sense what have the igbos done to show they are done with Nigeria.

IGbos want to leave Nigeria But they are investing massively outside their region.... make it make sense

Lets assume Igbos get Biafra today ... what will happen to all their investment in Nigeria ... they will uproot n carry it back to east or whattt

How do you seperate a man from his investment

jmoore:
You don't know more than Obasanjo. Most northerners, especially muslims believe a President from Igbo is a ticket for Biafra to exist. Choices are as a result of influence.

These is not about who know more, these is about basic knowledge and fact

OBJ is wrong cos he used the word "Deny" ... which cannot be substantiated


Whether choices are influenced or not ... people own their choices. nothing can be done about it

Politics itself is all about influence .... the scope of electioneering is influencing and swaying peoples mind ... as a contestant if you lose it cos of your influence limit

jmoore:
Take a look at these clowns. They can't even understand what Obasanjo is talking.

Boko Haram wants their own government, but you still went on to vote for Buhari who is from same region with Boko Haram.

Una dey always open mouth waaa to spill babablu.

Hypocritical creatures.

what is there to Understand an incorrect statement. At what point did inec stop any IGBO man from picking up the presidency form or contesting

Life is all about choices, democracy is all about choice, nobody is denying anybody in real sense people make their choice thats all

Across southwest did Peter obi not pick up votes, even in the North did Peter not gather votes ... are they not aware Peter is Igbo

The word Deny can only be appropriate when Inec or the constitution bans IGBOS from contesting .. . people are entitled to their choices

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Agbadorians will tell you Obasanjo is an Igbo man from Anambra. They so much hate to hear the truth

A truth that changes nothing is as needless as lies
OBJ is talking about Unfair.. as president for 8yrs what did Obj do to re-position the IGBOS ...
OBJ handpick Jonathan as VP for yaradua, if he cared so much why not Chinedu, chibuzor or one Nnamdi what stopped him

These foolish useless old Politicians just look for ways to jam our heads and just very few Nigerians have capacity to think

In Nigeria of today what is FAiR ?? Tinubu is yoruba how as that lifted south west above the national hardship, as a yoruba boy what do i enjoy becos Tinubu is president and chinedu is suffering/denied
i open business am i excluded from multiple tax or is my life more secured ... whats unfair to IGBOS that is fair to shakiru, lets not even talk of the north

They just love to divide us, what Nigeria need is it igbo presidency or good leadership irrespective of tribe nonsense

see the food like weytin pocohantas pack, only god no know weytin children do am

What did the husband do?

Why didn't he run for safety?

How can a 28 years old lady overpower a 31 years old man?

I have not heard the woman's side of the story, how can I judge?

Finally, you yes you who support domestic violence when women are victims, how do you feel reading this post now that a man is a victim?

The score is just 1 - 0 no shaking we go equalize and win the match. thats the spirit

MadPolitician:
Very unfortunate.
Really very unfortunate, how the idiotic electoral choices made by some base thinkers, will ultimately end up affecting everyone, and unravelling the whole country in the process.

if salah had not played against nothinham forest most of us would have sworn liverpool would win

if Haaland had not played against inter every punter and analyst would have argued man city would have scored @least 1 goal



Na because PeTer obi no win election, Nigeria would have ..... ?

Brendaniel:
The day I read Cardoso's speech at the national Assembly questions and answer with the senate, I said this one doesn't sound serious at all, he just kept on beating around the bush with English.

Tinubu has shown that Lagos can be governed by almost anybody, the scam has been exposed, I only pity those who still hope in Tinubu's government.

So what makes Lagos governable and responsive that other states don't have by default

emkz:
When they started shouting protests, they were asked for their demands. They rushed and came up with disparate and somewhat silly demands.

Their demands were not properly thought through and they were not practical within the time frame of their silly protests.

On the first day, the protests turned to riots. I came here and analyzed their demands, because some of the arrowheads of the protests were those who wanted to take advantage to get over the defeat they suffered:

https://www.nairaland.com/8173751/analyzing-demands-protesters-emkz

Some airheads attempted to disparage my submissions. Within three days, I was proved right as Russian flags started flying in a certain part of the country and some misguided folks started calling for regime change.

Now, it is possible that certain individuals received funds for the protests. What could be the game plan of the sponsors?

Let us remember that when chaos reigns, there are certain people who benefit from it. Due to banditry and terrorism in the north, gun-running and negotiation for ransom payment has become big business. Information on those to be kidnapped as well as supplying drugs and women to terrorists has also become big business. A certain Sheik is known to be an advocate for bandits and terrorists. Let us also not forget that some people use insecurity to engage in illegal mining and oil their political arsenal.

After the riots, persons were arrested, and rightfully so. Instead of decent human beings to allow rioters have their day in court, organizations like Amnesty International and some amateur and inexperienced activists started calling for their unconditional release. So who'd bear the cost of people's properties they ruined? This is the double standards of those leading protests and their supporters cum spnsors: they insist there must be no punishment for obvious crimes.

When people rioted and burnt public properties in the UK, they were prosecuted and jailed with no single British citizen called for their release. We are a society of laws. If you do the crime, you'd face the law.

Oga you are so full of shit, Nigeria did not germinate yesterday, we know politicians, we know what the govt are capable of, we also know Tinubu is the brain behind how endsar ended ..
During endsars, the hoodlums seen entering govt SUV what did security agency do about,
The russia flag is errant nonsense, whats the correlation, of what use is Nigeria to russia, the russia flag was planted in the hands of illiterates to discredit the protest, 10 out 10 arrested with the flag dont even the country that owns the flag

Why did the russia flag thing happened only in the north, why not in regions with elites.

if Tinubu can protest and sponspor protest under GEJ ... every protest against bad governance his justified

YeyeGbami:
Peaceful protest only, anything else na trouble.

Was the August protest not peaceful, did the evil govt still not find ways to harass, intimidate and arrest with security operatives.

who could have thought a Tinubu with his antecedent protesting even under a military govt is Todays under a democratic dispensation is trying so hard to discredit and null all forms of protest

Under BAT , we now have people protesting to stop protest, every protest must be sponspored, every protest have intelligence gathering its a coup or will be hijacked by hoodlums ... may God visit Tinubu sins on his generation

ShootThemAll:
I'm not in your shithole country dumbskull. You guys should fix it, I spent millions to come and vote for PO in the last election. Someone that has never seen 500k in his life voted for a drug lord because he is from SW or a Muslim. God punish all of unah. I make more money now when converted in Naira, deal with it.

Congrat fool, hope na all your entire family you pack go abroad,
Ode so its everyone that voted Peter obi that have seen millions, people that voted Peter obi did not have sentiments ... continue decieving yourselves

slowpoke you make more money, how that one take affect forbes, who know your mama

Smartcitizen:
IF PETER OBI WAS FROM THE NORTH OR SOUTH WESTERN PART OF NIGERIA, [i]HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN AS A DEMI GOD[/i]9, BASED ON WHAT HE DID IN ANAMBRA STATE.

This statement was attributed to Mr Babajide Otitoju of TVC News.

He is still a journalist and you can post and quote it on his Facebook and see if he will deny it.

Babas Fashola, Peter Obi and Prof Zulum of Brono State are the best state governors of Nigeria from 1999 till date.

Really!! lemme guess becos North & south west have mouth to talk, but SE people are born without tongue they cant talk

Let me remind you, Peter Obi is from a region where Nnamdi kanu and Simon ekpa are demi gods, ojukwu is a demi god .... what does that tell you
Babajide is just one man, he is entitle to his opinion
Peter Obi did so much in Anambra yet his preference resident is lagos,

able20:
But I can't remember when the Igbos voted one Omo Ale as president, like what we have today

Have you checked your ancestors down to your governors performance, or is one bastard better than the other bastard

MadPolitician:
You're still stuck on those igbo "1st coup" titties? It's 2025 and you're still sucking them tities dry? 1st coup kee u dia.

Why are you not killing the Tivs for Gideon Orkas coup? Or the Hausa fulanis for toppling your war hero Gowon?

Did i tell you that i sent anyone to go and organise a coup for me? Bukah Sukah Dimka organised a coup and also killed a Head of State, do you even know his ethnic group?

Or you chose the coup that revolts you and the one that shouldn't, right?

where is your evidence you've Moved on, i cant even make any sense of the gibberish you wrote

cry cry babies

ShootThemAll:
USELESS people, what did you expect from a drug dealer in his youthful age and continued. You all are sick in the head, someone that was carrying drug from 9ja to Chicago for few dolls, then you nicompus gave him access to our treasury and expect him not to loot to stupor... Dey play.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING! He will soon drop a statement that he MUST complete his 8years

Naa same market, same fuel station and same economic we dey under, whether you be imaginary elon musk or dangote we all are feeling the heat.
The earlier we join voice and take these govt on the better or you guyz can keep fooling yourselves everything is fine on una side

ibechris:
See them,tribalists.

Their eyes done clear now.

when a yoruba votes yoruba it is tribalism but when igbos stand standby there brother .. it is patriotism.
Only igbos know the perfect President for Nigeria But cant even set an example via there region.

The igbos expliot the fact that others tribe rarely visit or show interest in there region to parade themselves as perfectionist

One look at the overview of Eastern leadership/governance ... what did Nigerians miss !!!

MadPolitician:
How many Igbo presidential candidates have you voted for in your region? Should the igbos be voting for you, while you vote only for your sons? Since 1970 you have never found any igbo politicians worthy of I vote in a presidential election? Orji kalu, Ebitu Ukiwe, Nwodo, Chu Okongwo, Iwuanyanwu, Okorocha, Ogbonnaya Onu, Okadigbo, Ekwueme, Idika Kalu, Moghalu, Utomi, Ike Nwachukwu, Nzeribe, etc.

They have all contested and have lost in your zones, but you're there pointing fingers and demanding more votes from the SE. Are the igbos here just to vote for you? Will you kpai if you vote for them? Even if it's once? Some are technocrats, some are successful businesses men, Ekwueme and Okadigbo were top notch politicians from top notch parties. But you never looked their way. So what type of Igbo politicians would you support? Tinubu type?

The reason we are always having these arguement is because a region cant let go of the victim card, even when they orchestrated the 1st coup they still blame yorubas

Igbos voted Peter obi and yorubas voted Tinubu, now why should a pot be calling kettle black
If igbos dont play victim card will they kpai as well

ibechris:
Yoruba matter should not be taken seriously.

Those guys can exaggerate everything in this world.

When MKO was in prison,they said if anything happens to him that Nigeria will disintegrate...later it was confirmed by Almustapha that of all them who went to Aso rock got bribe from Abacha.

Which made Abiola's son to say publicly that Yorubas killed his father and shared his meat.

Now,back to the one that we all heard. They said Tinubu was a great accountant he is the best in the whole of South west. And if given the position of power,that he would make Nigeria the best in Africa.
They can't differentiate between a a good politician and a bad one.

For me,he has no good intentions for the country,hence the problem we are facing. Check out what they have been doing since 2014,flood,bomblast,covid 19,bokoharam,bandits and name...the only solution is provision of rice.

Wetin happen...must everything be rice in this country.

What happened to shelter?

Today,there are more IDP camps in Abuja more than the entire north central as whole.

How far people...if this is the best he can offer,then all those men and women who lied to themselves about him should pls,hide their faces in shame.

See where he left us today.

I agree we Yorubas shouldnt be taken serious But why should anyone trust the Igbos

Yorubas took bribe from Abacha, Mention one thing did for Nigeria that reflects patriotism and make you proud.

what exact are Yorubas doing wrongly the Igbos have done better

Looking at the state of governance in the East region compared to the Southwest whose choices resonate "better"

givedemwotowoto:

My friend, you fail to tell the chilren from 1999 - 2019, the winning party in the East are predominantly PDP, or is it a coincidence and can we undermine East is PDP stronghold.
In the east region, PDP vs APGA (indigenous party) who as produces more governor/reps. what does the answer tell you


these shouldnt be about tribe, but both igbo and yoruba dont vote in alignment, even in lagos the igbos dont support any candidate deem to be yoruba choice

i dont see why we have to call each other names , we just have to accept our ideologies differ and nobody is voting to teach anyone a lesson or all that nonsense talk.

pot and kettle should rest

FreeStuffsNG:
The fee has been reduced very very significantly from 0.5% to 0.005% (almost zero percent!) in order not to throw away the baby with the bath water and help FG deliver on the purpose meant for the fund.

0.005% on N100k (one hundred thousand naira) for example is a paltry N5 (five naira) and N50 charge on N1 million naira so it makes absolute sense, [b]low and fair enough in my opinio[/b]n. Most transactions of the poor range between N1k and N100k so the highest a poor person will pay as cybercrime fee is N5 and lowest is 5 kobo!

There's so much at risk so there must be deliberate effort to sustain the security architecture around this crime.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Might sound low, but have you considered the multiplier effect, millions of Nigerians uses bank for ttransactions.. imagine 10 million Nigerians decided to bless your account with #5 today is it still a paltry

Considering the corruption index and trajectory of other service charge their is nothing fair about funds that will be diverted from it purpose, the stamp duties, and maintenance fees among other bank charges what has it mitigate
This funds will end up in private pocket, it will be looted and Nigerians will be fed stories again, for how long will baboons work and monkeys go dey chop

Lipscomb:
Imagine if its someone from other tribe become a president and the country in disarray like this all the Yoruba would have come out to do protest and shut everywhere down.

You must be battling with dementia or default blindness

Is there any region or tribe in Nig. that has led more protest than the yorubas

is there any time under any govt southwest backout of protest


When obansanjo was president which tribe/region protested against his govt more than we afonjas lias brown roof
Even now that Tinubu is president, as southwest boycotts any protest, the major voices criticizing Tinubu are from where if not southwest
what has SS/SE done in act of patriotism asides mockery " we warn you"

SlavaUkraini:
And if there are no charging stations nearby, Nigerians will have to buy Generator to charge their vehicles because NEPA / PHCN are unreliable.

bush man, just carry usb cord and oriamo power bank follow body

thank me later

ShaqFu:
this is something Nigerians, many of us, will never understand, protest doesn't solve anything, but cause more problems.

I'll even advise Nigerians to hold on to their anger, wait till next election, and show this government how angry we are, by doing what was done to PDP in 2015, if this government continue like this.

Thats a very lame and incorrect assertion you know, i can count numbers of protest that yielded in Nigeria alone not to talk of the world

from Obasanjo to buhari administration, Nigerians have protested and the govt has to bend backward to meet the people's demand.
Oga among the problem Nigerians are facing, point out one that was as a result of protest.

Under this Tinubu administration their seems to be an agenda to demonize "subsidy and protest" ...
