What sort of stupid assumption is that? I haven't even told you where I came from and you are actually assuming my ancestral lands is underdeveloped. And what suggests to you that I am "eyeing" other people's lands?

you don't have to tell where you come from before I know you come from an under developed land

if your ancestral land is developed then you would not be eyeing other people's lands...

go and call out your own politicians and develop your ancestral lands..

stop been covetous and greedy..

Nefort:
What sort of question is that in bold? You think people decide to settle somewhere else without good reasons? It's like asking Nigerians why they want to japa and become immigrants somewhere else.

Nigerians japa because they want to earn a better currency than the Naira..

the whole of Nigeria uses Naira...

so why would a Nigerian want to leave their ancestral land where they are already earning in Naira to another person's ancestral land where that land is also using the same Naira..

Nefort:
You just said nonsense. You think I am not old enough to identify tribalism when I see it?

the same tribalism that is making you overlook and turn a blind eye to the under-development of your ancestral lands caused by politicians you share the same tribe with is what you are accusing others that are not the same tribe as you...

go and call out your politicians that are stealing and under-developing your ancestral lands that is making you to eye other peoples ancestral land who have hard working politicians who progressing and developing their own ancestral lands..

since you cannot call out your own tribes politicians for corruption and under-development then you are a tribalist and a hypocrite.

infact you are a hypocrite and tribalist...

Nefort:
It will significantly reduce tribalism because people will be encouraged to settle outside their ancestral lands without the fear of being second class residents. It encourages Nigerians to mix up, and the more we mix up the more we get comfortable with each other and realize focusing on tribal differences is just pointless.

why do you want to settle outside your ancestral land where you are already 1st class citizens and go to where you will always be 2nd class citizens.

people will always be 2nd class citizens where they don't control the politics and are not the majority..

you cannot force the majority to treat you as 1st class citizens unless you control the politics of that state or use a higher authority like Kalu is doing now to try to change the laws which means there's no difference between you, Kalu and killer herd:smen terrorists....

DMerciful:
You cannot want Nigeria to remain as one country without wanting one Nigeria. They're mutually exclusive!

Yoruba ronus, it's either Nigeria stay as one country where every citizen has equal rights or Nigeria disintegrate and every go to their ethnic nationality as a small independent country

your tongue is deceiving you...

you claim you want equal rights but in truth and reality you don't want equal rights what you want is equal privileges..

you already have equal rights... you just don't have equal privileges...

the only way to get equal or superior privileges is by taking political power from the indigenes and this is you, Senator Kalu's and the f:ula:nis main goal..

Nefort:
How do you expect the natives to be wiped? The natives will always be very much higher in population so how exactly will that wipe out happen? You mean Yorubas will go and wipe out the Igbos in the east and the Igbos will go and wipe out the Yorubas in the west? Does that make sense to you? Some of you just talk without using your brains.

In case you have not noticed it..

All races in the world are fighting for SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST whether it is a:rabs, e:uropeans, A:sians, the different African races in Africa that you guys belittle by calling them "tribes" e.t.c..

What you call tribalism is patriotism and nationalism to the people you are accusing of tribalism and you are only calling them tribalists because they do not support the political candidate you support and that makes you the true tribalist..

Again, SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST means it is foolish of Yorubas to vote an anti-yoruba person and someone who has anti-yoruba hatred and sentiments..

Kewekubosineh:
You got it right. Even in South Africa, they have multiple state capitals and this eases friction in the leadership of the country.

Nigeria could replicate same to avoid the backlash we are witnessing now.

Salute 🙏

Nigeria can not replicate it because it is a move to subjugate indigenes of Lagos and Rivers and also impose shar:ia and other evils on those states..

friday2011:
Bro. Did you hear the news of a young man who defended himself against herders and was sentenced to death by the supreme court, did you hear about the uromi killings which has a different narrative today that they are hunters?

Nigeria as a nation has failed, the earlier we know this, the better, we have people in power who are afraid of the northern powers (fulanis)

Simple.

They are not afraid.. they want to reduce the population of southern Nigeria.

Mamaafrik1:
Our southern governors need to use our security vote to start massive cattle rearing projects in the hands of NATIVES to check the Fulanis onslaught in the south.
The pilot phase should include agreement by state governments to provide veterinary services,good breeds at subsidized rate and eventually buy the adult cows,milk,hides,bones,horn and manure from the individual farmers at good price and transport it to processing zones or markets.
(All these farms MUST BE RANCHED ).
This is using a bird to kill two stone by introducing the south back into cattle rearing business (remember the herdsmen use this as a guise to stay inside our forest and cause mayem ,if this is done many of them will return back to their country or state of Origin.
Also the move will provide agro.processing opportunities for our people and investors and also give us an opportunity to take back our cash and keep it within our regions.
Note:over 75_83 % of cattles produced or imported from Nigeria neighbours ends up in the south and middle belt as average hausa or even Fulanis don't consume beef .



(C)Mamaafrik.

Stop eating beef.

Eat chicken.

Lekan239:
Your response completely ignores historical context and oversimplifies the role of the British in Nigeria’s development. While I’m not here to glorify colonial rule, pretending that Nigeria had a robust infrastructure before the British came is misleading.

First, if the British "did nothing," how do you explain the railway system, ports, and administrative structures that allowed Nigeria to function as a single entity? Yes, they built these for economic reasons, but they still laid the foundation for modern transport and governance in the country. Even our legal and educational systems are based on what they left behind.

You claim the British didn’t build universities, but what about the University College Ibadan (now UI), which was founded in 1948 under British rule? What about Kings College Lagos (founded in 1909) and several other secondary schools that produced Nigeria’s first generation of elites? It’s easy to dismiss these institutions today, but they shaped the first set of leaders who took over at independence.

It’s also not true that the British didn’t build roads, hospitals, or housing estates. The first major road networks, hospitals like Lagos General Hospital (1893), and various government quarters in places like Lagos and Enugu were all developed under colonial rule. If they "left Nigeria to rot," then why were things still functioning better in the early years after independence compared to the decay we see today?

Now, let’s talk about what happened after they left. If we claim that all development in Nigeria was done by Nigerians post-independence, then why is the country still struggling despite 60+ years of self-rule? What have we done with the massive oil wealth that could have transformed Nigeria? Instead of blaming colonialism forever, shouldn’t we ask why our own leaders across ALL regions failed to develop the country further?

Blaming the British for Nigeria’s current state is an excuse. "Many countries that were colonized have moved on and developed." Why is Nigeria different? The real issue isn’t what the British didn’t do; it’s what Nigerians have refused to do for themselves since independence.

University college ( now UI ) was not a degree awarding university.. it was an institution like a O levels where you get a certificate that permits the person to go and study in a university in England..

Out of over 300 ethnic nations in Nigeria. from 1820 to 1960 ( 140 years ) you can only mention University college ( now UI ) and shame did not catch you..

the british were the ones working in those railway system, ports, and administrative structures that the british function as a single entity and not Nigeria.. for over 140 years they could not pave all the roads in Nigeria, build seaports in Nigeria to the point that after 1960 unpaved roads filled the whole of Nigeria and even in 2025 just 65 years Nigerians themselves have built and pave more roads than the bri:tish did in 140 years and under developing NIgeria.. More ports have been built by Nigerians in 65 years and thousands of administrative structures have been built by Nigerians themselves in 65 years in less time that the british spent over 140 years and did nothing...

It is western influence that devalues the naira which spoilt the purchasing power of every Nigerian and causes Nigeria to struggle.

you don't understand their hatred for black people globally especially those in Africa..

india annual budget is ₹48 trillion which is equal to $560 billion ( with a population over 1.4billion people

while Nigeria annual budget is ₦49 trillion which is equal to $30 billion ( with a population of 200million people )..

the point is Western powers claim Nigeria's population is the reason for ₦ Naira's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

but India with a population 7 seven times Nigeria's own is not affected by the same policy that causes Nigeria's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

if you reduce india annual budget to ₹28 trillion similar to Nigeria ₦28 trillion..

india's ₹28 trillion is still equal to $326 billion...

South Africa R2.59 trillion is equal to $138.5 billion due to the whyte boers that stayed there.

the Naira is a weapon fashioned against Nigeria and Nigerians by the Western powers.

Lekan239:
Sorry, I have a few words for you, and I hope you won’t stop reading along the way.
It’s funny how you talk about being myopic while pushing a biased, tribal narrative yourself. You conveniently ignore the fact that Nigeria’s problems are systemic, not just about one tribe or colonial rule.

1. British Rule & Development – If the British were so bad, why do you think Nigeria was far more organized under them than it is now? No, we didn’t have 24/7 electricity, but the infrastructure they left behind was far better maintained than what we have today. What have we done since independence? Loot, mismanage, and blame others instead of fixing our own problems.


2. Rail & Infrastructure – You claim their rail system was for selfish interests, yet even that “selfish” infrastructure outperformed the useless projects our own leaders have attempted. Tell me, since the British left, what have our governments done with trillions of oil revenue?


3. Education & Religious Requirements – You talk about religious influence in education, yet you fail to acknowledge that most of the best schools in Nigeria today were established by missionaries and colonial influence. What have we done with our universities since independence? ASUU strikes and poor funding!


4. Biafra & Innovation – Yes, the Igbo people displayed remarkable ingenuity during the war, but stop acting like it’s only one tribe that has smart people. If Nigeria is underdeveloped today, it’s not just because of marginalization—it’s because of poor leadership from all regions. If Igbo politicians were so different, why has Abia State suffered under Igbo governors for decades?



Development isn’t about glorifying the past or playing the victim—it’s about taking responsibility and moving forward. If the Igbo people are as innovative as you claim, why haven’t the South-East governors turned their states into the “Japan of Africa” without waiting for federal support?

Nigeria’s failure is not just because of the British or one tribe—it’s because of a lack of accountability across the board. If you truly want progress, stop using tribal sentiments as an excuse and start demanding good governance from your own people first

before the br:itish left Nigeria, the Br:itish from 1820 - 1960 did not build one university, our number of primary and secondary schools were very low, br:itish did not build smooth roads all over Nigeria , no housing estates, no plans for clean water for communities, no hospitals, no universities, no teaching hospitals, no vocational centers, no power plants, majority of the private companies where owned by the br:itish and they only gave Nigerians clerical work which is what the education system they gave us is meant to produce office assistants.


All the developments you see in Nigeria today from Abuja to lagos to calabar to Akwa-ibom to oyo to Enugu e.t.c are all built by Nigerians, our parents, our grand parents e.t.c the br:itish left Nigeria to rot. Everything you had and have the privilege of enjoying in Nigeria was and is through the hardwork of parents, grand parents, and other Nigerians.

the bri:tish leave the people more devastated than they earlier met them. If not for the hardwork and peaceful nature of our ancestors in southern Nigeria, southern Nigerians will be in poverty because the bri:tish created Nigeria in a way where Northern and Southern Nigeria will engage in endless wars...

after over 140 years in Nigeria.. the british did nothing for Nigeria and Nigerians..

JuanDeDios:
When people say Africa is rich, I just laugh. Africa is not blessed with resources, comparatively speaking. Our land is also the least fertile and our huge land mass has the fewest navigable rivers. Plus the interior is hot, prone to diseases and threatened by desert encroachment. I'm not even talking about the culture, which does not encourage technological and democratic progress.

Ok, I've said enough for the Africa-is-rich folk to chew on.

African land is the most vertile especially in area where they don't have nomadic tribes.

JuanDeDios:
Dey play. Ask yourself why events in Ukraine had such a massive impact of food available and prices in Africa and why the bread you ate today is likely made from wheat from there. Ask yourself why USA can donate so much food anytime there's famine in East Africa. Ask yourself why childhood malnutrition isn't an issue in Europe like it is in Africa.

They sponsor the killing of African farmers so why won't Africans suffer malnutrition..

Nomadic tribes cause famine by feeding herbivores animals which leads to desertification.

dheilaw1:
the Yorubas are not feeling threatened, but you morons are , that's why you've been fighting for Biafra that you will never have. You remain 4th class citizens.

They already have Bia:fra..

They just don't want to live there.

akanbiaa:
The question is even if alleged settlers are granted indigene status, will that automatically make them equals and discrimination in opportunities removed or they will still be checking to see who are original indigene and those who are not when there are benefits to the state?

It will automatically mean they can use the law to blackmail and cheat the original indigene.

Shikena:
We are not afraid of anything. We are emphasizing our roots and our ancestry which we are proud of! You should be proud of yours too instead of trying to become a Yoruba indigene. Tufiakwa, do you have any shame at all!!!!

DenreleDave:
Ur tribe hates Yorùbas and u still wana become indigene in yoruba land..

Abeg wetin u do una land?

Yorubas don't need anytin in Ur land, ńa Una wan die for our land

We don't want óò.. Hold ur region, make we hold our own

DenreleDave:
We said we don't want..... Is it by force

Why does an igbo man want to. Be identified as a Yorùba? Is igbo so bad that he wants to dump his identity?


Don't come and use ur culture to tarnish our image.... Igbo will be igbo... Yorùbá will be Yoruba..

Keep ur identify, let's keep ours.. We don't want u to be us coz we can never be u

They are known to smuggle drugs globally so if there's anything they can do to change their identity from igbo to another thing then they will gladly do it.

The children organs have been stolen.

What is the name of the school?

Why wasn't the proprietress arrested on the grounds of organ trafficking?

Meliforme:
To date Kelechi Nwakali still remains our most creative midfielder.
Whosoever he has offended in the NFF, should please forgive him.
If he has offended anyone, let him make peace.

We don't have any midfielder with his kind of crosses, long balls and creativity.

You've brought Nwakali....

they will come for you soon..

bigiyaro:
By the time the fulanis and hausas with the backing of the federal government starts invading and contesting political offices in the east, the full will realize he doesn't have sense.

he has been paid off..

he does not care about if the east is invaded..

its the same way Ojukwu did not care that the east will be attacked..

its also the same way Nnamdi Kanu did not care that B:uharii will use soldiers on i:gbos..

Most of them don't care about the consequences of their actions until they start seeing and experiencing the consequences..

DomPerignon:
The globalists Jews want a return to Jewish colonialism aka corporatism.

This is what WEF is pushing and it is to replace governments with appointed WEF corporate heads

The Ibo foolishness is being activated to ensure another civil war that will lead to a failed state and from then on a UN Mandate imposed on the country from where a Western Corporation will oversee the country's affairs .

This isn't far fetched. An example of the above is Ukraine that is now fully owned by Jewish BlackRock Group. The entire reason for the senseless provocked war in Ukraine is to depopulate it and make room for Jewish corporation to seize the land over war debt claims. The Ukrainians were stupid but they never envisaged how stupid they were to follow a Jewish homosexual comedian to fight Russia to the death.

People fail to see that communism was a Jewish invention financed by Jewish capitalist for the sole reason to turn the Russian empire to a Jewish slave run cooperation.

Communism is extreme capitalism and the biggest beneficiaries to any communist order are capitalists

Jewish capitalists raped Russia dry under communism.

Jewish capitalist money funded Mao's rise to power and his communist revolution. Today , Jewish capitalists are in bed with the CCP

The Jewish capitalists loves communism because communism is slavery to which slavery is the corner stone of Jewish religion as decreed in the hook of Leviticus

Jewish capitalists are the ones who dominated the Atlantic slave trade. These same Jews were behind colonialism as a protectionist racket for their exploitation spots. The European will later have empathy and compassion and brought Christian ideals in their colonialism and prevented further Jewish exploitation by banning the slave trade and preventing Jewish ursury to take root.This is what led Jews after WW2 to campaign furiously for an end to colonisation. They did so, so as to get rid of the European so that they can continue their exploitation and indebtedness of Africa

Ask yourself this: at independence no African country outside those under French colonial rule was indebted to any Jewish financial institution. But almost immediately after gaining independence , African countries began falling into Jewish debt traps. In Nigeria this arise due to the war debt accumulated from a senseless and needless war instigated by Jews using their useful idiot Ibo Marxists.

Even today , the provocations are loudest from this same yeasterners with their insensitive Biafra expansionism.

the bill can also give foreigners and whyte people indigeneship status and bring back re-colonisation and re-enslavement..

it is a very bad bill..

the SS oil and gas and Lagos is their target..

DomPerignon:
The bill won't pass because there are people who know very much what this bill portends.

The middle belt people facing the onslaught of Fulani expansionism won't support it.

The SS knowing fully well of Ibo annexation of their land won't support it.

The Hausa who are divorcing themselves from the Fulani won't support it and even if they did , they won't be accomodating ibos in any way or form.

The Yoruba nationalists won't even consider it.

And if by miracle it passes, many states in the SS , SW and NC won't domesticate it.

This is decree 34 and Fulani ruga on code and no one in their right mind will support such ethnic expansionist Agenda masked as unity bill

You're right.

But the globalists want war in West Africa especially Nigeria so this bill will ensure that war happens in the coming years.

DomPerignon:
I read your post again but to the end

Your opinion does not hold because those kids you referenced are full Yoruba under cultural and civic laws. The Nigerian constitution does not allow bi-ethnic to benefit from 2 identities. They are expected to choose one of their parents' tribe and state of origin.

Do not use that Omo ale jati jati chinedu GRV as a yardstick as he is never ethnically Yoruba . His family is originally Sato and saros are returnee slaves and most that retained European names were originally from the SE who refused to go back toj that shit hole .

GRV's mum is Yoruba and his wife is Yoruba , so his children are not in anyway Yoruba but rather Ibo thinking like their father who said he doesn't think in Yoruba.

GRV is a bad example for inter tribal union and that's because of his simp father who let one yam leg raise his own children to hate the Yoruba tribe that the GRV family had adopted and lived in their land

See Betty and how she hates Yorubas with passion despite her rising to be a first lady of a Yoruba state. She has also poisoned her children to hate everything Yoruba .

That's how stupid and ingratious these people are . Any one who shows them good will is seen as a weakling. They are savage brutes whom Buhari rightly said he knew the only language to speak to them.

You said grv mum and are Yoruba

Tinubu grand children have an igbo Lebanese mum who has an igbo mother so there is no difference between grv and Tinubu grand children.

Even Seyi Tinubu may give igbos more appointments just to please his wife and her mother and his in-laws..

DomPerignon:
There's no law that forbids any Nigerian from contesting elective position anywhere in the land

This bill goes beyond securing elective position


This bill wants to drag the very land with indigenes , get full indigene rights and benefits such as employment and admission quotas .

The only reason these people until 2023 were having cold feet in contesting elections in another man's land is because they know they will be rejected.

This bill is seeking to get settlers to have same full and equal rights with indigenes.

Yes they would be rejected with legal backing.

But after this bill passes the indigenes would no longer have legal backing to reject them.

That's the point.. they don't want their children to face legal opposition and rejection from the indigenes.

DomPerignon:
You will get this your dot Biafra and you will curse the day God made you an Ibo.

Continue with your foolishness.

..

I am only thinking of who the bill will favor and that's how I came to that conclusion...

it is an anti-Yoruba bill sponsored by T:inubu and F:ulanis using an ibo man...

this bill will destroy the SW totally..

femi4:
Not the same thing. Their grandfather is a Lagosian

yes but there will be push back from the indigenes...

look at what Adeleke is doing in Osun...

How many roads has he built?
how many hospitals has he built?
How many schools has he built?
How many businesses has he giving funding to?

If someone like Adeleke who is half Yoruba half Igbo is not doing much in Osun then don't expect Tinubu's grand children to do better in future..

femi4:
If won't fly. We don't want vagabonds in Lagos

RepoMan007:
Fulanilization bill. I pity Nigerians.

DomPerignon:
is it the people in the middle belt that will support the bill who are under invasion by Fulani?

Is it SS p people who are very aware of you ibos breathing down their necks that will support this Ibo ruga bill?

Just say you ibos and your co Fulani land grabbers are in support f this satanic by force unity bill

madridguy:


After using nzogbu nzogbu to scatter their region, they want to use back door to claim others region, bunch of shameless chest beating people.

UltraSolid:
Won't happen.

it will happen..

Tinubu's grand children are half-Yoruba, half-igbo, half-lebanese..

this is a bill to ensure that they can be appointed into government positions..

some other politicians also have children that are half-Yoruba half-igbo or half another tribe so this is a bill to ensure their children can take over..

but the bill also gives room to non-indigenes and even non-Nigerians to lay claim to parts of Nigeria..

it is a bill that can cause civil war in different parts of Nigeria. unless the FG uses the army to kill the indigenes that will fight against the bill the same way they do for herdzmen right now..

yinkeys:
Morocco got to World Cup semis because of their coach’s tactics

exactly

Amedino99:
in no context, scenario or situation will osimhen, onyeka, Boniface and onyedika be classified as home based. Let's not change narratives please.

that is what it means...

before people were more specific by using the team "Nigerian born" or "Foreign born" players but they gradually changed it to "home based" players and "foreign based" players..

Goke7:
For how long we will continue blaming coaches, the same eagles lost to Rwanda in uyo, drew SA in uyo haba! different coaches but same result of inability to win at home!

And if we have players who can’t cope with our weather does that not mean we need a new approach for selection of players? Apart from the World Cup proper most of our competitions and matches will always be on the continent and with African opposition so where do we go from here? Keep inviting players who can’t last for more than 65 mins and keep losing games at home?

it is the coach that is meant to create the formations and game plays that leads to the players scoring goals and how they defend and how they keep possession..

that's why in my paranoid mind I believe either Eguavoen ( the technical director ) or a group of people in the NFF are the ones forcing the coaches to use certain formations which end up giving the SE same bad results.

Mujtahida:
This talk of home based no be am ooo

toluxe0075:
Home based that cannot even make it out of group stage at CAF champions league and CAF confederations cup. Even With their good league, Argentina and Brazil hardly use home based players for international football.

home based means players like Osimhen, Awoniyi, Boniface, Onyeka, Onyedika, Nwakali, Sanusi e.t.c..

foreign based means players like Ekong, Iwobi, Bassey, Lookman, Aina, Dessers, Tella, Okoye e.t.c

mekabuachi:
Keep making excuses for them ooh
Morocco and Egypt with white players.... Wetin we go talk, no be them dey play like say na life and death

Morocco is close to Europe so their weather is similar to where their foreign born players grew up and train...

Egypt mainly uses their home based players who play for Liverpool, Man City and other clubs in Europe..

Ekong, Iwobi, Bassey, Lookman, Aina grew up in cold climates and then moving to hot climates to play 90 mins football is madness of the NFF.

Goke7:
Anyone blaming Chelle is unfair, and this is what we always do. Am one of those who never wanted Chelle but what happened yesterday has nothing to do with the coach. The players let us down like they did against Rwanda in the same Uyo, why is this difficult to understand?

It is the coach that has the power to substitute players...

if the coach would rather be stubborn and leave tired players on the pitch to defend when there are fit players on the bench then it is the coach's fault..

Ekong, Iwobi, Bassey, Lookman, Aina are foreign born players which means they cannot handle 90mins of Nigerian heat or African heat on the field so them playing more than 65 - 70 mins should be an abomination...

Nigerian players with the attitude of Onyeka who can run all over field should be the ones getting invited.

Foreign born players are good but they should not be allowed to play full match especially since they will start the next match.

NFF and most Nigerians don't consider players fatigue and tiredness from previous matches can affect their performances..
