At least you have admitted that there exists Igbo strongholds in Lagos. Tell your comrades like Oluomo to allow a free and fair election in those areas.

Which one is "Igbo strongholds in Lagos, man? You guys just have this shameless obsession with Lagos. Igbo strongholds in Lagos my foot! If Azikiwe couldn't achieve it,with all the Federal influences he had in the first Republic,why do you guys think the Yoruba will allow strangers to take over the political machinery of their land now— in 2026? No,man, Oluomo won't allow you to have your way in his native Lagos. And mind you,you have many "Oluomos" to contend with.

Oga Seun, @SeunOsewa, the earlier you admit that 80% of users on Nairaland are no longer active, the better for you. They are only here to read and go— like guests! Look at the kind of wishy-washy topics gracing your once “almighty” front page — sad! Most topics these days do not even go beyond two or three pages, max!

Seun, you are my brother, and I will tell you nothing but the real truth behind the dwindling fortune of your forum: there are enemies within — people on your payroll — as well as your bots. People can no longer freely express themselves. It is either a biased, overzealous moderator picks on someone and slams them with a needless ban, or your bots do the exact same thing.

Bro, you cannot continue running this great platform like that! I will be very blunt with you: you have some highly sadistic ethnoreligious bigots on your payroll.

I come in peace.

We don't need ak 47 .....
There is no command in the Quran which said get a weapon against anyone....

But you surely need one since bible tell you to get a weapon even if you should sold your cloth to get one 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dude,you must be a comedian if you think you can defend Islam or cook up any excuse for any of those violent verses in the Qur'an.

doffman:
See your god , the devil that want to destroy world peace 🤣🤣

I thought you Muslims claimed to believe in "Prophet Isa" ( Jesus Christ), right? Is it the same "prophet Isa" you just addressed as the devil in your statement above? You guys are truly confused!

Eko nan pe ibi— you go learn! You see the coming 2027, some people go cry tire!

Aye Nigeria ti ba je— shior!

Mrchippychappy:
Bro at this point if anyone cannot see those behind the evil in Nigeria then let them vote however they want to.

If the evil in the country is not enough for them to understand what is at stake then let them do as the please.

Fair enough.

The people for Oyo don dey shed am first

You guys are too emotional— reason why you are where you are politically. How on earth do you expect anyone from Oyo State to support and vote for Obi with this your highly ridiculous statement? Believe it or not,It will be difficult for anyone from your region to rule Nigeria as its President. You guys are not just smart!

SmartPolician:
Kwankwaso is working for Tinubu, and so what? Make we begin fry beans? Peter Obi ran with Datti - which nobody even knew - in 2023 and got 6 million votes after extensive vote manipulations.

My only problem with Obi is that he knows he lacks the capacity to protect his votes, yet he left the coalition. Tomorrow, he will expect INEC to give him the results he will present in court. This is no strategy!

There won't be any religious card for Obi to play in 2027. Obi must be daft not to realise that Kwankwaso is subtly working for Tinubu. I once said it— it's only the blind obidients who can't see it. Believe it or not,2027 race is strictly between Tinubu and Atiku,and Tinubu is winning it.

Mr Obi, you have no idea of the extent of the damage your own people and those mannerless Obidients have caused you — you will never be elected President of Nigeria. 2027 is a contest between Tinubu and Atiku— you are not in the equation. Wait and see.

You “demanded” that he pay his dues! This says it all — you have a nasty attitude. Guy, if your landlord wants you out of his house, then out you go. You can’t live in his house by force. If you choose that route, trust me, you’ll regret it. Perhaps when you realise that your landlord’s house is his territory and that he can make your stay there extremely difficult if he chooses to do so, then you will realise that no law can save you there, and you’ll learn to mind your business next time. Mr “Brave,” keep looking for a lawyer, okay? You go learn!

But the Benin people of Edo state said they own Lagos and the word Oba was coined by them do you have any objections to this?

You need to understand that the Oba of Benin is ancestrally not a Bini man — he is of Yoruba descent. As a matter of fact, Benin City is historically regarded as a Yoruba city, although the land belongs to the Bini people. That is a fact. The official language spoken at the Palace of the Oba of Benin before and during the arrival of the Portuguese was Yoruba. You can research it.

The Binis are not Yoruba, but the ancestral stool of Benin is of Yoruba descent. In other words, the Oba of Benin is ancestrally not a Bini man. The Benin royal stool is quite similar to the Itsekiri royal stool — both are regarded as being of Yoruba descent. That is a fact.

The Word "Oba" is purely a Yoruba word. It's coined from OBATALA— Obatala is the first Yoruba king on earth according to Ifa corpus. The Word "Oba" does not mean a king in Bini language. The first person to use the tittle of Oba as a king in Benin was a Yorubaman— Oranmiyan. He was an Ife Prince. It is a fact. Before Oranmiyan,the rulers of the ancient Benin— Igodomigodo— were known as "Ogiso".

Here is the story of Oranmiyan's journey to the land of the Binis:

After establishing Oyo,Oranmiyan’s second and perhaps more transformative journey took him southward into Edo territory. At the time, the region was experiencing political instability following the decline of earlier rulers. The people sought external legitimacy and invited Oranmiyan to rule.

This moment marked a rare historical convergence: a Yoruba prince ruling over a non-Yoruba people. Yet the union was uneasy. Oranmiyan, accustomed to command through force, found Edo political culture deeply rooted in ritual negotiation and communal authority. Tradition records his frustration vividly, noting that he referred to the land as Ile Ibinu—“the land of vexation.”

Eweka I and the Birth of Benin Kingship

Recognizing the limits of his authority, Oranmiyan made a decisive choice. Rather than impose permanent rule, he returned to Yoruba land, leaving behind a son born of an Edo woman. That son, Eweka I, became the first Oba of Benin.

With Eweka’s enthronement, the Benin Empire was born. Over time, Benin would grow into a highly centralized and sacred monarchy, renowned for its court rituals, massive earthworks, and extraordinary bronze artistry. Though Benin developed its own distinct identity, its royal lineage permanently retained its link to Ile-Ife through Oranmiyan.

Symbolism, Memory, and Material Culture

Oranmiyan’s legacy is not preserved only in oral tradition. In Ile-Ife stands the Ọpá Oranmiyan, a granite monolith believed to commemorate his presence and authority. It serves as both historical marker and symbolic axis—linking myth, kingship, and empire

Therefore, the connection between Benin and Lagos has to do with Yoruba ancestry — nothing more. The truth is that Lagos was founded by a Yoruba man, Olofin Ogunfunminire, an Awori prince from Ile-Ife. That is a fact.

You're souless, man!

Another word for Wodaabe is Fulani.

Says an illegal immigrant from Mauritania— only genuine Nigerians can remove Tinubu.

If Chike had done this to "some men," he would have been six feet under. This is not to say that he will escape the repercussions of this one—no, he won't. For his mother's sake, I sincerely hope that "some guys" do not take it upon themselves to avenge Frank Edoho. Chike has a big target painted on his back.

I won't bore you with unnecessary details.

My immediate younger sister is less than 2 years in her marriage with no children yet.

On the 13th of February, this year, her sister in-law moved in with her 6 children.

My sister thought it was just a visit only to be informed by the husband that his sister was divorced and would be with them for a few days.

Since her arrival with her children, my sister lost everything that has to do with privacy in her matrimonial home.

Dishes unwashed, a bag of rice lasts less than a month, the sitting room littered with dishes.

My sister has become a stranger in her home as the sister in-law now advises her husband against being too loving.

I love my sister so much and I'm already thinking of taking her away from that toxic environment.


I want my sister to leave the marriage since the husband is not helping matters with her sister.

This 17th of May and the sister in-law and her children are not making any arrangements of getting an apartment of their own.

What would you advise my sister to do?

You already know what you want to do— taking your sister away from her husband! These are your words: "I want my sister to leave the marriage....." So,why do you need anyone's advice again? One question for you: are you a man or woman?

Shola, go and sit down— it's game over for you!

Trump always talks too much. You have all the evidence that Christians are being killed in Nigeria, so what are you waiting for? Strike at the very heart of the jihadists already. Trump is not a man of action, unlike Netanyahu, who is a no-nonsense action man. Trump talks too much!
