madridguy:He should have done his madness before Obi joined the party before Obi got the presidential ticket, before Viva Rhodes ran for Governor, he would have done all of us a BIG favour. It's too late now the ship has sailed. |
It's intentional so that people would perceive him as a hardened criminal and no one would have sympathy for him. Even the maddest cultists will never dare slap a police officer. |
Men corrupt women, many Oloshos learn their trade from the men around them usually their family. |
Some Employers sabi inflate sef |
"You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villian" Messi has won all awards, he has no excuse to keep playing except pure greed. It's time for him to hang his boots and resign. |
What Photoshop cannot do doesn't exist. OP, Why are you gay? |
Ojukwus mother was an Osu, Ojukwu himself was born out of wedlock... Osus are born with resentment and hate unlike the Nwadiala. This is why Biafra failed, they allowed an Osu bastard to govern them just because he had money. |
A lawyer does not have to believe his clients are on the right side to defend them. Even the worst criminals are entitled to a lawyer |
This sit at home has already become a bad habit, at this point the Nigerian Government can never end it. Buhari should have simply killed Nnamdi Kanu or released him. |
Who are buying the drugs? How are the drugs entering the country in the first place? With all their immigration laws? |
seeyounow1:Quick question, which plays a bigger role in a man's development his family or his environment |
It was out of anger, it was not intentional. I just need to say this before some political spinners will arrive. |
seeyounow1:His name is 'Kaduna' a Northern state, how did his name betray him. |
seeyounow1:Bro can't even spell 'immigrant' properly And it is 'Balewa' not 'balewa', it is not proper to write someone's name in small letter, especially an historical figure. |
RIP, I'm starting to think criminals intentionally target students about to conclude their studies. |
Some people never learn |
Please is it that small thing your crying about? Some men have truly become weak |
reiddecuti:Jos Crisis, Odi Massacre, Boko Haram, corruption, all these took place before Buhari. |
RightChannel:300 Chibok girls were kidnapped under Jonathan's reign not Buhari |
For all the criticism of Buhari's reign I think Buhari has done something we must all appreciate, Buhari brought a strong level of professionalism in Nigerian politics that never existed before. The very creation of APC itself is a sign of seriousness, merging three major parties by putting aside their differences and working together. Ironically PDP has gone in the opposite direction. I remember before the 2015 election how rumours were spreading that if Jonathan doesn't win - the Niger deltans will burn all the oil fields, Nigeria will be bankrupt, Tampolo or Tompolo was on TV making all sorts of boasts, about what he would do if Jonathan doesn't win. However once Buhari won the so called burnings didn't happen and Tompolo quietly faded into obscurity. The way Buhari handled IPOB showed a strong level of professionalism and political maturity, first capturing him in Kenya, yet carefully not killing or harming him in any physical way, instead bringing him to Nigeria to face the law. During Jonathan time Shekau was a regular Tv celebrity, but Buhari first faded him into obscurity before he eventually killed himself. Buhari has forced everybody to be serious, professional and pragmatic, from police to bankers to politicians and we must thank him for that. God Bless Buhari!!! |

No permanent friend-no permanent enemy in politics |
How are you able to get to the topic of marriage if you didn't understand her culture... You can just ask her, no one can explain better. |
nairalanda1:So send their kids to Covenant university or Babcock since evil vices is their problem |
vastolord4:Oga if those kids are rich what are they doing in Lautech? Why not travel abroad or attend private uni? Since they can afford expensive cars they can afford it |
The Bible says, "knowledge is power". It also says "know the truth and it will set you free". This is made all the more important given the fact that history is not taught in Nigerian schools. Let us join hands and walk down the beautiful path of knowledge, truth, and history together. Our focus and subject-matter for today is the Fulani tribe of northern Nigeria. The Fulani are only partially African and only partly Negroid. They are the product of cross-breeding between the Taurags, Berbers, and Arabs of north Africa on the one hand and the local black African women of Futa Jalon, Guinea in West Africa, on the other. In those days Futa Jalon was a popular trade route between north and west Africa. After hundreds of years of cross-breeding the final product of this union was the Fula race. If you doubt this assertion I challenge you to look at the texture of their hair, their thin lips, their slim and pointed noses, their tall and slight build and their, more often than not, light complexion and you will know that they are only partially African and only partly Negroid. Like their Tutsi cousins (who also originally came from Futa Jalon but who migrated to central and east Africa over the centuries) they are primarily and in the main gypsy-like wanderers and nomads who are deeply courageous and notoriously ruthless and ferocious in battle yet who have a strange and inexplicable attachment to and affinity and affection for their cattle and cows. They betray little emotion, even in the most difficult times and even when going through immense and the most gruelling form of hardship and they are focused, mentally-strong, disciplined, patient, calculating, proud, ruthless, wise and totally unforgiving. They have long memories: never forget a friend or favour and never forgiving an insult or a slight. Most important of all is the fact that they overwhelm and conquer very slowly and incrementally and they do so primarily by infiltration, assimilation, and guile. It is only when they are fully entrenched and empowered and when they have totally won the confidence of their host community and infiltrated them that the sword is brought out and the most extreme forms of barbarity and violence are employed to achieve their objective. That is how they conquered the Habe Kingdom, subjugated the Hausa and turned them into vassals and that is how they took Ilorin from the Yoruba Aare Ona Kakanfo, Afonja. In both cases, they dethroned and murdered the sitting Kings that they had earlier befriended. Some historians have argued that they value the life of cows more than that of human beings. This may be true of the uneducated herdsmen and pastoralists amongst them but I do not believe it is entirely true of their traditional rulers and their educated and political elites. Some have also argued that their greatest desire is to establish a homeland for themselves by grabbing the land of others because there is nowhere in Africa that they can call their own. Even in Guinea where they originally came from they constitute a tiny minority of the population, they have never been trusted with political power and they are viewed with the utmost suspicion. They arrived on the shores of what later became known as northern Nigeria in 1804 when they launched their first jihad, under the leadership of Sheik Usman Dan Fodio, and conquered the Habe (Hausa-speaking) Kingdom of Gobir. That is how they got a foothold in Nigeria and they have been here ever since, imposing their Emirs over the local indigenous populations all over the north in the name of Islam and turning the children of the conquered Hausa into almajiris. They constitute only 7% to 10% of the 200 million-strong Nigerian population yet they wield and control more power and authority than any other tribe or ethnic nationality in the country. This has been the case since Nigerian independence in 1960 by either holding power directly or wielding it through a series of spineless, cowardly, pliant, willing and loyal surrogates who do their bidding out of ignorance, fear and a pitiful inferiority complex and who consider them to be the "master race" that were ordained by God to lead Nigeria and that were "born to rule". Through Islam, they have conquered most of the core north because the Emir is not just an ethnic overlord but he is also the leader of the Islamic faithful in his domain. This is a powerful and dangerous mix of religion and ethnicity and it is one that the Fula's have used very effectively in their quest to dominate, conquer and subjugate the whole of Nigeria and impose their will on the local indigenous tribes and populations that have been there for thousands of years before they came. Other than Usman Dan Fodio, two other Fulani leaders stand out as the custodians and flagbearers of this messianic mission. The first of the two is Sir Ahmadu Bello, the erstwhile Saurdana of Sokoto and the premier of the old Northern Region and the second is General Muhammadu Buhari, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is for this reason that Usman Dan Fodio is often referred to as the First Mahdi of the north whilst Ahmadu Bello and Muhammadu Buhari are referred to as the second and third Mahdi's of the north respectively. You can say what you want about the Fulani but one thing you cannot take from them is the fact that they fully understand and appreciate the awesome power and beauty of ethnic and tribal unity in a wider multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural nation like Nigeria. Despite all pretensions to the contrary and rather like the English of the United Kingdom, the Fulani will always put the Fulani interest before the Nigerian interest and this has served their tribal purpose and vision very well. That is a lesson that other Nigerian tribes and ethnic nationalities would do well to learn. Mr. Obadiah Mailafia, who is a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and a former presidential candidate from Southern Kaduna said the following on August 25, 2019, "Loyalty, honour respect, integrity are defining features of the Yoruba leadership tradition. Fulani leadership traditions are rooted in feudalism, pretence, hiding one's thoughts and taqquiya. "The game plan is to exploit to the fullest the political and financial capital of Tinubu. They will keep him onside until they're able to destroy him. To turn Nigeria into a Fulani Caliphate they will happily sacrifice social progress for ambition. They understand that hungry desperate people would be too broken to raise their heads. "To assist they continue to allow murderous and terrorist hordes from Central and Western Africa to take over ancestral lands by force. They are ruthlessly imposing total control over culture, mass media, public administration, and the economy. They govern by fear and are willing to plunge us into another civil war." I concur. Obadiah is an old friend of mine. He studied at Oxford University and he is one of the brightest stars and most formidable intellectuals in Nigeria today. Judging from his words he appears to know the Fulani very well indeed. I do too. How? Because even though I am a proud Yoruba man, my maternal great grandmother was a full-blooded Fulani woman and consequently 1/8 of the blood that runs through my veins is Fulani. I have never hidden this and I never will. As a matter of fact, I wear it as a badge of pride and honor because it proves that I cannot possibly hate the Fulani because I cannot possibly hate myself. Criticism is different to hate. The former is healthy whilst the latter is not. That is the point that many of my Fulani brothers and sisters fail to appreciate and find it difficult to comprehend. In any case, not all Fulani are bad and not all non-Fulani are good. What I hate are not the Fulani people but the callous, barbarous and unspeakable atrocities that the Fulani herdsmen and terrorists are perpetrating in my country and the racist, hegemonist, ethnic and religious agenda that the Fulani leaders are seeking to impose. What is also clear to me is that the history, the disposition and the ignoble intentions of the Fulani ruling elite raise concern and has serious implications for the peace, welfare, and unity of Nigeria. If the Fulani do not retrace their steps, change their ways and moderate their actions and if they do not reign in their vaulting ambition of conquering the Nigerian space and becoming Nigeria's "master race", they can be rest assured of the fact that history, posterity and the Nigerian people will be very harsh on them. Worse still they may plunge our nation into a second savage, barbaric and fratricidal civil war which would make the first one look like child's play and which would shatter the very foundations of the West African sub-region and tear the African continent apart. Let us pray that it never comes to that. This is the end of today's history lesson. Thanks for finding the time to read and learn |
I thought you were complaining about actual nudity and you were going to propose Sharia law |
He is not stopping people from smoking he is just making cigarette expensive |
Good idea but this is the wrong time |
Ibechris2:You remind me of people who do calculation for the price of cigarette or coffee and the question is always "you wey no dey smoke where your car dey?" You guys need to really understand economics |
totit:Call a spade a spade, she showed support for her candidate no big deal there you can't compare her with the average obidient It's funny how people always imitate their enemies |
