dangermouse:
The op did not mention calabar which was also a capital before it was moved to Lagos.

It is important to educate ourselves on this forum.

Calabar was the capital of southern protectorates not capital of Nigeria as a whole
Get your facts,I know why you are saying this is because you don’t want to believe is because of tinubu,you want to always live with the lies that tinubu built Lagos

Prince Jimi Odimayo, a member of the House of Representatives representing Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency of Ondo State, has been accused by some residents of distributing repackaged bags of rice not fit for consumption to his constituents during the Yuletide.

President Bola Tinubu's administration had approved N57.8 billion worth of food palliatives for members of the National Assembly for onward distribution to their constituents.



Many constituents across the country are accusing their representatives of hoarding the items.

While some lawmakers confirmed receiving palliatives, said to be worth N200 million for senators and N100 million for members of the House of Representatives, others denied that.



The Presidency, while showcasing Tinubu’s scorecard in palliatives’ disbursement to Nigerians, had revealed that each senator got N200 million worth of palliatives; and N100 million for each member of the House of Representatives.



However, Jimi Odimayo, in a viral video obtained by SaharaReporters on Monday was accused by some residents of distributing rice with stones.



In one of the related videos obtained by SaharaReporters, a man in the background in his local dialect that he had never seen where such type of rice was given out.



"This is a surprise to me because I have never seen where someone gave out this kind of rice. He said he would like to become the governor; see the kind of rice he gave out to people. We are not hungry, we feed on our own, so nobody should give us poison to eat. If you eat this one, Ibukunolu can’t do the surgery," the resident said.



Another resident said, "This is the rice Jimi Odimayo gave out; the man that said he wants to become governor."



Yet another resident said, “The rice is terribly bad and dangerous for consumption. It is not good at all. Look at the rice someone who wants to be governor is sharing. It is full of stones. The stones in it are even more than the rice.



“In fact, we couldn’t eat the one we cooked yesterday. Take a look at the cooked one and the uncooked one, both are obviously injurious to health if consumed.”



“You can imagine, someone who wants to be the governor had the courage to give out this kind of rice to people. Nobody including the young and old can eat it. It is not good at all. I have never seen this kind of rice before. The rice has two to three colours. Can’t you see how it looks? This is really serious,” the woman added.



However, the lawmaker in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Victor Adedeji, dismissed the allegations.



According to him, it is an attempt by detractors to tarnish the hard-working image of Odimayo



He described the video as lacking basis and appearing to stem from political motives.



According to the statement, the public should also know that the rice distributed was sourced from reputable suppliers and underwent stringent quality checks before distribution.



The statement reads in part, "The public is strongly encouraged to dismiss these allegations, considering them not just malicious but also an unscrupulous attempt by detractors to tarnish the hardworking image of Hon. Jimi Odimayo. His unwavering commitment to delivering democratic benefits to constituents remains steadfast.”



"The public should also know that the rice distributed was sourced from reputable suppliers and underwent stringent quality checks before distribution.



"Apart from the distribution of high-quality rice, Hon. Jimi Odimayo equally provided relief materials and financial aid sourced from his personal funds, a practice he has diligently maintained since 2014.



"Despite claims made in the video suggesting the rice was full of stones and unfit for consumption, Hon. Odimayo assures constituents that the rice provided was 'Brown Rice' approved by the federal government of acceptable quality and suitable for consumption.



"He reiterated his commitment to the welfare and well-being of his constituents and expressed regret over any misconceptions arising from the circulated video.



"However, Hon. Odimayo is open to clarifying any concerns raised by constituents and remains committed to addressing their needs effectively.



"The public should also note that efforts are ongoing to reach out to additional stakeholders for their perspective on this matter, and further updates will be provided as the situation unfolds," the statement added.

I just told u Iran is a full Islamic state yet u don't understand that they don't run democracy or free state law, where citizens have a level of freedom to do as they please

..... Do u even know what law means.....

...Even in Nigeria where there is democracy...u can't go to some.parts of the north where shariah is fully constitutional and not wear hijab or u mistakenly wear mini skirt...

See ..I don't dialogue with low IQ people..

It's nauseating....

You really proved this below
When muslims are in minority they come in peace,when there are in majority it’s “Islam or death”,no minority rights

He forgot his walking stick in the keke
After the skit,I hope he got it back?

Tilumbu the ineffectual Buffon
Knows next to nothing about good Governance,his own is only to be sharing money

Yoruba people know what they are doing
They know that their brother in aso rock is an ineffectual Buffon and bereft of any ideas so they do what they know best,focus their propaganda on Igbo and Obi so that others won’t question what Tilumbu is doing,before you know it four years has passed

He would be wrong if tinubu was performing currently,but as it seems now buhari’s tenure is 100 times better than criminal Tilumbu’s own

News without source,I won’t be suprised if Seun and his mods push this to the frontpage
Tinubu already bought this forum,all these Seun is doing is just to fulfill all righteousness and not lose members

They are all in Lagos
So it’s normal their brown roof settlements gets that dirty

Chike-ego Oyibo

Afolabi
He must have been constituting a nuisance over there,I wonder why Nigerians will go to other Countries and behave the same way they do in
Nigeria
Or could be a drug deal done wrong

SpatialKing:
Small Yansh they shake..

Seems you guys are craving for the attention igbos are getting in Lagos

face your ijaw masters abeg leave Igbo out of it

muhammaduyusufu:
Come 2027. We in the North would ensure everything possible that a curse called Obidients and Peter Obi the religious bigot never gets near the seat of power. We would play his "yes daddy" tape all over our mosques and market. It would be translated to Fula, Hausa, kanuri e.t.c.

He was never popular in the North and now we even hate him the more.

Though I know you are a Yoruba masquerading as a northern but when will the north play education to their Almajiris up north,you know use the same energy to convert Textbook to fula,Hausa etc
Is the humiliation of Obi better than the future of your region?

Mods will ignore this thread like it dosen’t exist
Let the O.p can just change the headline to “killed in Agulu Anambra”,then you go see magic,within one minute of Posting even with zero comments it will be on the frontpage so their Yoruba Muslim brothers can masturbate to

Soludo is so shameless commissioning Private roads,I wonder what he is doing with the state resources
Professior iti boribo

IfnobeGod20:
They just went to dash Oluomo money. Why is it only Lagos transport company contacted. Oluomo is preparing to contest for NURTW election at the national level. He need more money to throw around.

A friend coming to East from Lagos came with God is good motors
It’s all scam

mrvitalis:
Firstly you guys promised 5 million delivered less than 5%

That's assuming this figure is true


For me 3/100 is massive failure

I don’t think anybody benefited from this scam

chopnaira:
Okay
.

it doesn’t mean that Igbo or Obi won’t criticize them when they are in the wrong,you know the north hate Igbo because igbo always tell them when they are wrong but Yoruba are too servitude to do that
Yoruba always try to exonerate Fulanis even when they commit crimes
Like Femi adeshina was telling us to relinquish our lands unless the Fulani menace will continue,Yoruba people
That’s the difference between us

Agbero party

What I noticed on this thread,Yoruba Muslims trying to please their Fulani master,the way they’re are jumping over each other to be the first to lick the masters ass
That the Fulani brought you islam don’t mean that you can support them even they kill and ransack people villages

Ebi mpa wa people self

Whenever you feel Useless,just remember that a Particular region that love to deceive themselves that they are Sophisticated and Educated voted for this same man twice

I knew That the failure of a criminal was just whining Nigerians with that stunt
And the worse thing was that they really went to the park with cameras and crews,paid some Yoruba actors of act like beneficiaries of the scam

I just dey laugh

If na for south west he go
You go done hear “Obi ebi mpa wa”
Hahahaha

I pity the aged yoruba elders in the village
I don’t pity those lost younglins in Lagos

Goodnewsforlife:
igbos attacked fulanis when buhari was president n now that a Yoruba man is president they are attacking yorubas

U can see how they are mocking oddy death on twitter even when he’s a pdp supporter

I can say that I will rather die than have igbos become president

They are too filled of hate, how can u hate someone even in death simply because he didn’t support your candidate

We dey wait igbos in d next election

Yoruba people and their victim mentality
You might be a new member and don’t even know what your tribesmen did when Achebe died,they were happy and cursing the old man,even when Ojukwu died,it was like owambe to them throughout that month
So stop acting like a lil bitch,if the kitchen is too hot for you and your ilk and can’t take what y’all give,you step out and Shut the F up

Btw,nobody knows this Ody of a guy/girl you have been yapping about since morning

Their mothers are the village shouting “Tilumbu
Ebi mpa wa”,while their kids are lost in lagos trolling their betters

APOPTOSIS:
You are the only one that made sense so far.
I took time to read through every comment.
You got maturity in you.

Many Igbo people are ignorant
I am currently in Ogwashi to see a friend,if your were blindfolded and dropped here,you’d be forgiven if you said it’s Anambra state
I speak my igbo dialect fluently and never any confusion with the natives

I feel it from Delta State that I am home not from Onitsha
The bridge is iconic but that’s not where home starts from

Do nu Shinne
