Welcome, my visionary leader. The man that will take Nigeria out of the woods. The man that will restore the glory of Nigeria. The man that will end insecurity in Nigeria. The man that has the magic wand to turn the economy around for good. The man that will take Nigeria out of consuming nations to a productive nation. The man that will open Calabar highway to the north. The man that will make all the seaports in Nigeria to work. The man that will dredge river Niger and Benue to stop perennial flooding. The man that will support Nigerian farmers with soft loans to boost their farming as well as encouraging mechanised farming. Welcome to a new Nigeria under Jagaban, the man that is most loved by true Nigerians. Welcome once again, our president elect that will be sworn in on May 29, 2023!!!!

Hope the children of hate can now rest. They haven't heard from the state government before they rushed here to begin to spew gibberish as usual. Lagos is progressive and the government is working for a better Lagos where everybody will be treated equal. But we will never allow people with no history to dictate how we run our system here. If we like we run monarchy. It doesn't concern their father. If they don't like how we run it, they can rush to Borno state to develop it. Lagos is not the only state in Nigeria where they can settle. For their information we take note of Chief Iwuanyawu's statement at 1 year's celebration of Professor Soludo's government in Anambra state. I won't say more than that

Anambra is a Yoruba land according to history. A Yoruba man who founded Anambra went to market but he got a call that some visitors were waiting for him, on his way home, he saw a shop where they were selling bras and decided to get for his wife which took him longer than necessary. When he got home and they asked him why he returned late, he said *'àn ńá brà'* (meaning we were bargaining bra price) that's how they came up with the name, Anambra.

Shebi all of us are now historians, let's continue that way.

Happy new week to you

Me: I tell you. It was Ọọni Abewela who established Onitsha as a market town. He named it Oonirisha market but when his non Yoruba slaves, the Igbo wanted to pronounce it, they got it wrong and called it 'Onitsha'. It is time we claimed our heritage.

2. Alaafin Adegoolu established Enugu. He once married a strange but beautiful girl. He loved her so much because of her beauty. Her teeth was perfect, a reason why Alaafin used to refer to her as 'ẹnu gún rege' which was shortened to 'enugun'.
There was fight among Oloris and Alaafin did not want Enugun to be deformed due to fight so he sent her to his newly established farm settlement far in the East and even ordered people to join her there. When the new settlement was getting larger, people asked the Alaafin what name would the place be called. Alaafin replied that "let us name it after my wife Enugun." That is how the place was named and after a long time, it metamorphosed to Enugu.
Kaaaaaabiesi o!

Craze no be monopoly of a people😁😆😀

The whole of the eastern region as we know it now belongs to the Yoruba people. During the reign of Orompoto in Oyo Kingdom, there was an invasion by the people of Cameroon. They laid siege on Oyo and kidnapped the beautiful daughter of Orompoto. Oyo army gave chase and after a turtuous journey, they caught up with the ramping army, fought with them and rescued Orompoto's daughter. The place where they caught up with them became acamp of Orompoto's

You made my day full of laughter with this write-up. It is where the madness of Obi supporters stop that another man start naa. Let's continue like this. Thank you once again. You deserve a pat in the back.

I expected Atiku to congratulate the winner of the presidential election and go back to Dubai to count his losses instead of this lamentation. How did he think he will win an election that had PDP that went into the election with 4 factions - the faction he led, the G5 faction, NNPP faction and LP faction.

I do not see sense in this. When Did Adeboye come out to tell the congregants to vote for a particular candidate? If you want to leave, leave. Don't come to the open to expose your ignorance. Didn't Catholic Church take sides? Didn't other Churches take side when they have congregants in all the political parties? When people make dumb excuses like this I just pity them because they did not sit down to apply senses before spewing out rubbish. With you or without you, the Church of God will move on. One less headache to worry about by RCCG and one added headache to worry about wherever he goes

So sad, State Governments need to create Fire Service Stations in all major markets in their states and the traders also need to install fire alarm system in their shops as well as having at least one gadget to fight fire. The losses being recorded to fire yearly is too much. Haba! May God help those that were affected in this disaster

Never underrate your host community. Yoruba is a nation before it was amalgamated with Nigeria. Igbos must thread softly and learn humility. You can never become president of Nigeria if you don't love and respect other tribes. Yorubas can make Western region unbearable for you people the way Ghana is treating you. Respect people and they will help you to climb ladder of success to the top. Padlock your mouth and then see that people will tolerate you.

Why are you crying wolfs where there's none? All these Lekki axis were thick forest before the advent of democracy. Jagaban opened up the forest for development. Subsequent Governors of the state continued with that legacy. But you people came to Lagos with one leather bag to hustle and after you have made it you're now turning your back to those that made life comfortable for you. The real Lagosians wanted continuity in development but you say no. You wanted to dictate who must rule Lagos for us. Nobody drags your state with you but Lagos that housed you, fed you and makes you comfortable is now hated by you people. If you are not ready to accept what we want, sell all your property in Lagos and relocate back to your erosion bastardized region. Never again will you have the breathing space you are enjoying. It Sanwo-Olu that we want to continue with the giant strides he started.

Rhodes-vivor should go to Liberia or Sierra Leone where he is eligible to seek political offices as a descendant of repatriated freed slaves.

He is rejected in the South West for cursing the tribe that welcomed his great-grandfather when he was dumped at the shores of Badagry despite changing his name to Gbadebo.

He is rejected in the South East by the descendants of those who sold his ancestors into slavery for being Osu even though he was named Chinedu at birth.

His best opportunity in Nigeria is to convert to Islam and contest under the name, Tanko Abdullahi Mohammed-vivor in Kano.
