It is better that way, not when something bad happens they start looking for one Emefiele to put the blame on.

I don't hate Tinubu and I think he is a good politician but he is not invincible. Power comes from the people, there is a certain level of unpopularity a leader will reach where no force on earth can save him, the people don't even need to hate you they just have to start seeing politics as a job for 'those other people not for us', you hear statements like "it doesn't matter who rules they are all the same", Government becomes a force of nature, something they adjust to but can't influence.

That is the kind of mentality that encourages coups, because the coup plotters understand the people just don't care anymore.

Ironically Tinubu might jubilate about the lack of protest in the South but the lack of protest proves that this kind of mentality is becoming very popular in the South.

warrants chiefs were imposed on igbos because the British couldn’t subdue them to slaves your people are now. Igbos don’t believe in slavery mentality the reason some of your rely on a jobless London blogger to tell you the story of your tribe is because factually you people have no credible history except for the ile ife bronze heads discovered to be less than 400 hundred years old while igbo ukwu calabash was estimated to be around 7th century by British archeologists meaning Igbos have been at least 700 years in present Nigeria before your people migrated

Warrant Chiefs were imposed on Igbos because Igbos were so disorganized, Warrant Chiefs were the only way they could get anything done. Funny enough many of the Ezes and traditional rulers in Igboland today were descendants or beneficiaries of the Warrant Chief System including Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

It's interesting you mention Igbo Ukwu, which were beautiful art works. But where was it found? In the Nri Kingdom, one of the few parts of Igboland that were organized and had Kings.

babasolution:
He never acted as the emperor of Greece though,each state had their systems

Well he freed the Greeks from Persia regardless and he was an Emperor.

We can agree on that

babasolution:
Alexander the great was emperor of Macedonia not Greece, Greece had fallen by his time

Macedonia was a city in Greece, Sparta, Athens, Thebes were cities in Greece too, it was Alexander the Great that unified Greece to fight against the Persians.

babasolution:
Note,Greece didn't have emperors,America didn't have emperors,America and Greece dis more for civilisation than the rest

Alexander the Great was from where?

America had democracy sure for white men only

babasolution:
No one wasn't easy pickings for SLAVERY, the Hausa's even far from the coast were sold by their own LORDS to slavery first to Arabs and later to the coast,Yorubas also fell to SLAVERY by their own hands with constant instability and wars in their polity.only BENIN were somewhat shielded from slavery ,only due to their monarchs disposition to SLAVERY otherwise they too would have been victims,so in all emperor system was no BETTER

Good you mentioned that Benin Monarch not the Benin Democracy shielded the people from slavery

babasolution:
It was simply a better ideology because it allowed people to live more freely,this is based on the fact that igbos are mocked for not having supposed "statehood" with emperors.

Human sacrifice was not stopped in yorubaland or Benin till the 19th century.

If you know the real act's of the emperors you'll hate them.

Research on the life and times of say the oyo rulers you'll understand my point of view BETTER.

Most of them ruled with gross impunity, though there were checks,but it didn't stop their gross impunity

Rome had Emperors, France had Emperors, Egypt had Emperors, Greece had Emperors, Britain had Kings

It was Alexander the Great who freed the Greeks from the Persians

It was Emperor Augustus Caesar who gave Rome Pax Romana.

No leader shaped the 19th and 20th century like Emperor Napoleon who brought greatness to France and defeated the ruling European powers.

Today Oyo and Benin Empire artifacts are admired and studied in British museums.

Great civilizations are founded by Great Individuals, they can be preserved by the masses but they are founded and reformed by Great Individuals.

Your 'free society' brought nothing to civilization, on the contrary 'civilization' brought a lot to your 'free society'.

babasolution:
It was the times,things like this were done all over the world, even the whites considered as who some considered as having developed systems were burning women on stakes accused of witchcraft

Twins were not considered abominations in Yoruba land and Human sacrifice was abolished centuries in most Western cultures and even among Fulanis. Mind you they didn't have the superior democracy.

If you committed the same crimes everyone without 'Ancient Democracy' are commiting then why would you claim to be better than them

Ancient Democracy where Twins were considered abominations

Ancient Democracy where certain people were labelled Osus.

Ancient Democracy where women were pursued from her husband's house if she didn't have a son.

Ancient Democracy where sick people were labelled cursed.

Who gives a bleep about the largest tribes?

Quantity does not equal quality

The vast majority of leaders in Nigeria have belonged to minority tribes, the exception is Yoruba

We will take you seriously when you stage a protest against Simon Ekpa the way you did under Buhari...

Lots of insults targeting Ekpa would also be nice

They won, Chidimma dropped out and left their country, they have their 'proper South African' winner but despite that, they won't stop the insults.

It's good this way let the whole world see them for what they really are underneath their so called patriotism.

Shinjawestern:
Lies...some Nigerians from a certain region always come into south Africa to deal in drug business...

Why do U think southafricans hate Nigerians..


Why is their complain always on Nigerians selling drugs in their countries...

Why do their always mention Nigeria always?

Your assuming some people are reasonable and can make fair judgements, whereas the truth is some people hate first then look for grounds to justify the hatred.

*Confirmation Bias*

Why do Igbo politicians love copying Lagos politicians and they never copy the best of Lagos politicians but always the worst.

Is this girl worth voting for?

It's clear she loves clout, she should have resigned from the SA competition a long time but she really dragged it out and allowed Nigerians to be insulted for no reason...

Next she came to Nigeria, she didn't even try to take the time to learn about the country or her history - she just immediately jumped to miss universe contest...

Is it by force to be a miss something?

Namaster:
"He simply woke up and decided to destroy somebody's career (and get views) for no good reason."

So church business is a "career" now?

Thought it was a calling.

A career and a calling aren't they the same thing

Jos

Yes I know Prophet Jeremiah product might not heal, but why is Verydarkman targeting only Prophet Jeremiah?

Don't catholic church sell rosary to people marketed for similar reason? Don't other churches sell things like holy water for the same reason?

I know a guy who once had 'holy biro' before.

But Verydarkman ignored other churches and just singled out Prophet Jeremiah, why?

He simply woke up and decided to destroy somebody's career (and get views) for no good reason.

CriminalTinubu:
Always chest beating and bragging.
What exactly did the disgraced druglord achieve? A coward that was hiding in his room whilst protesters reigned supreme at his doorstep?

Where was this writer during the protest? Hiding like other Agbado leaders?


Tinubu has lost Northern votes.
That was why the protest begun and its goal was achieved.

Didn't even read the post, the writer was wrong about you

trium:
Does LTV still read news in Yoruba? I hope they do.

They read news in Yoruba yet you don't bother watching their show (unless news like this pops up), what does that say about you?

Yorubas and their audio politics, it's funny how they are always promoting Yoruba culture yet it always seems like no advancement has been made and they need to promote Yoruba some more.

Northerners and Yorubas have been enemies since the dawn of time...

Usman Dan Fodio vs Oyo Empire

Nupe Kingdom vs Oyo Kingdom

Awolowo vs Ahmadu Bello

Sani Abacha vs MKO Abiola

They only face Igbos because Igbos are terrible at politics and don't know when to keep quiet, I bet you lots of Igbos are there on twitter puting mouth in this fight.

Also, Northerners do not depend on the South West neither do the South West depend on the North, whereas Igbos depend on both.

It's called Nostalgia, they fantasize about the good old days when they united to kill Igbos, it was the highest moment in their worthless existence, they have nothing else to look at since then.

I blame the Igbo elders, sometimes you have to face your problems head on, Igbos always try to run away from their problems, all this Biafra nonsense is just another running away.

North can make stupid statements like this because at the end of the day, worst case scenario, Igbos will cry and try to secede again and will lose again, it's a high profit-zero risk game for them.

Igbos need to learn how to be brave.

They didn't protest because of cowardice but at the end of the day it's still Igbos getting blamed, cowardice doesn't pay.

It's either he shot the protesters or shot himself

mployer:
They are succeeding in their various businesses more than you are doing.

That's because the businesses are run by Igbo individuals not by the Igbo Tribe

I would say it doesn't matter, the protest would have not been this successful if Igbos had participated, it's like a funny jinx...

Anything Igbos support will always fail, this works both ways, if Igbos support the protest it would fail...

If Igbos want Tinubu to stop being president, all they have to do is support him.

It seems like every protest in Nigeria is always plagiarized and plagiarized badly

The Endsars seemed to happen almost the exact same time as the black lives matter protest...

The current protest happens after Kenyans started protesting...

Is this protest genuine or are we just copycats?

Let's call a spade a spade

Ifeanyi Ubah was assassinated, they tried to use 'unknown gunmen' before but that failed, so they used poison in a place far from his base, where he would be unprotected.

Assassinated because of their hatred for APC.

They warned this one so he wouldn't be next in line.

Well said, he didn't make false heavenly promises to get power like tyrants do
