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

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

Nostalgia, the past is always good.

Dictatorships are inherently more corrupt than democracies no matter how good the leaders are.

A dictator's primary concern is political stability, he wants to keep his power above all else - the problem is that in order to develop a country and build the necessary structure, a regime has to impose taxes, imposing taxes will hurt the masses and this would lead to political instability, so it is always in the best interest of a dictatorship to reduce the development of his country while increasing propaganda about how things are good.

" A self-fulfilling prophecy is an assumption or prediction that, purely as a result of having been made, cause the expected or predicted event to occur and thus confirms its own 'accuracy.' "

Paul Watzlawick

People sometimes create their own nightmares, they hear of a prophecy set about to prevent that prophecy which ends up making it happen, the story of the Trojan war in Greek mythology is a perfect example of this.

Am I the only one who didn't take this protest seriously, I mean who in their right mind announces a protest weeks before the actual date, at best I concluded it was cringy nonsense - at worst, it was a pathetic DSS led sting operation.

But the way Nigerian politicians have given attention to the protest, you would think it was something serious, protests are only dangerous when they are unorganized and sudden, not when you have weeks to anticipate it...

What they are doing unintentionally is they are showing Nigerians how scared they are of their own people...

And once some elements sense that fear it would have the ironic effect of causing the very eruption that they are trying to avoid...

Now what shape or form would that eruption take? ...I'm not sure but if anything bad should happen in August, let the government understand it was their ridiculous fear mongering that made it happen.

Let the August 1st reach, I've bought popcorn I want to watch drama.

Some people are playing 'wait-and-see' politics.

You ignorant and dumb people I dont understand how you use your brains. A CCTV camera is now a hidden camera? You dont know that in this day and age you are supposed to be able monitor your home from any part of the world?

You are probably one of those cooking outside with firewood.
I dont understand how someone in 2024 would be saying what you are saying. You had better leave that cave of yours the world has left you behind

If you don't trust somebody don't employ them or at least don't put them in charge of sensitive areas like your food.

If you employ them and you wish to monitor them, inform them that a camera is watching them and everything they do, that would ensure their good behavior.

It's a hidden camera, the fact that she didn't know it was there confirms it.

Knowing this gender i'm curious to see how she treated the maid...

The fact that she planted a hidden camera in her kitchen proves she doesn't trust the maid, she didn't trust the maid because she expects the maid to do something bad, she expects the maid to do something bad because...

White people be speaking pidgin and in their head they are resonating with Nigerian culture

It's like travelling to USA and start speaking black american slang or travelling to England and start speaking wag-wan.

It is ghetto culture and doesn't reflect majority of the people.

To see if you have tattoo, perhaps you look like Iya Pablo.

Soldiers are not police officers...

A police officer might stay at a particular location for a long time and even become well connected with the community...

Soldiers by their very nature and training cannot stay in a particular location for a long time, it makes them restless...

Also, soldiers are trained to distinguish and sometimes despise the civilian population.

Sending a thousand soldiers to a LGA it automatically becomes 'occupied territory' and the civilians become 'enemies'.

Hide, run or submit

Most criminals in Nigeria are not psychopaths, they are just there for your money and 90% of the time they will not kill you once they have it.

Ps: Karate, boxing, taekwondo etc. Won't help you in a street fight, let alone a life or death situation.

They have gotten married now abeg make we rest

He's addicted to the limelight he should better not die of overdose

I heard there's a kind of fish called blowfish, this fish needs to be cooked with extreme carefulness and skill otherwise it would poison the eater...

In Japan, ordering the fish in a restaurant is usually a sign that you believe the cook who prepared it - is highly skilled...

I pray one day a Nigerian would catch that fish I know they will surely eat it.

Making lots of enemies as usual

To be honest our media like to over report, it's not everything you see you should say, you need to look at how it affects the wider society...

That's how the nonsense sit-at-home became a thing over reporting.

Reno has been accusing him of being mute on Igbo affairs, he seemed too hell bent on sucking north poles lately, next you have the LP crisis so he needs lots of support right now...

he knows fully well Nnamdi Kanu won't be released but at least it will give him his ipobic base back.

This guy will end in an early grave

The fire that burns the brightest and hottest usually run out of fuel quickly

Nature is chaos, for every one animal you use to prove a point, you will find five others that disprove it.

You didn't talk about Lions, female Lions will bleep the toughest Lion they can find...

Now if a new Lion should come into the pride and defeat that Lion, they will equally bleep that Lion too, and they will stand by (protesting feebly) while that Lion kill all their children from the previous Lion and impregnates them with his.

Ps. Lions don't provide shit, kinda the other way round.

Was relaxing on my verandah sometime last week and i witnessed something that had me thinking up till this moment.

I'm surprised he did 12 years

In USA he would have been set free almost immediately (as long as he shot the right colour)

Kudos to the Nigerian army for not looking the other way
