Look at them, as usual, blaming Soludo, when agberos had been operating in anambra from the time immemorial. They will rather blame others rather than blaming themselves

XerXers:
Anambra attracted more FDI than other SW states put together minus Lagos. Anambra FDI is 12 times greater than Oyo. In 2021, Abia was 3rd Nationwide behind Lagos and Abujy. 2022 Anambra is 4th behind Lagos, Abuja and Akwa Ibom

So, in your mind, Lagos is not part of south west that you have to separate it from other states in south west? Aside that, your analysis showed that you are warped in thoughts as your claim that anambra attracted more FDI than south western states without showing evidence of that. Office of DMO have all the statistics which runs contrary to the trash you spewed out here

May the Good Lord console the Orji Kalu's family and grant her eternal rest

Marriage is for the minds ready to settle down. It is not for the fainthearted. It is between 2 opposite sex that loves each other. Marriage is not between 2 people that are infatuated to each other. They are between those that loved themselves from day one and had made up their minds to live together for the rest of their lives. Marriages are full of ups and downs likewise our daily lives. The 2 couples knew they were coming from different backgrounds and must able to tolerate their shortcomings. No marriage is perfect but successful couples worked together to make their union work. They eliminate third parties from their union and they don't stop loving each other despite the fact that they do quarrel once in a while. They don't listen to side talks, they don't share their secrets with their neighbours. They don't also allow pastors to dabble into their relationship. They pray together and they do things together. The man of the house doesn't burden his wife with responsibilities that are naturally theirs. Wives help when their husbands are down financially. They don't hide their income from one another and above all, they acknowledge God as the head of the home. I married 26 years ago and I still love my wife as if we met yesterday

He must face the consequences of his malady. why didn't he go to his erosion infested village to rant instead of boarding flight to Lagos he so much hate? We are beginning to see that he belong to those planning to install interim government. They hated Hausa/Fulanis for 8 years because of Buhari, now it is the turn of Yorubas for them to display their madness for another 8 years. What a cursed people!!!!

Dirty lots.

Eeelllluuuupppeee is the brain behind it, why are they denying what everyone already knew. They thought Nigerians are as gullible as their followers that are in the minority. DSS should arrest all of them and try them for treason

End of another era. Ayu had never succeeded in any position given him since he joined politics. He's either sacked, suspended or booted out

Man inhumanity to man. Everybody just like flexing muscle in this country

Jking20:
I hope this man of God they say isn't turning his church to one political party...

The pastors that turned their churches to campaign ground while the elections didn't go the way they wanted must come up with another strategy for their members to swallow naa. It is not new

The way some people reason is baffling. How many people must die or be maimed before government effect the ban. 90% of patients at Igbobi orthopedic hospital are victims of okada accident in Lagos. Why are people against the ban? Some people are very pathetic

Deadlytruth:
I watched the event live on Channels yesterday and Iwanyawu clearly and unequivocally said that "Yorubas are political rascals".
But the most interesting irony which none of the Yoruba commentators here seem to be bothered about is the fact that Obasanjo (an acclaimed Yoruba elder) was right there when Iwanyawu said so but when he (OBJ) later got the opportunity to speak, he didn't make any point of correction to Iwanyawu but chose to allege Igbophobia against other Nigerian ethnicities thus pretending not to see that Iwanyawu's kind of unprovoked outburst which had just happened right before his eyes is one of the causes of that Igbophobia.
How a fully grown Yoruba elder would see an Igbo elder calling his people political rascals right in his presence but ignore it and play the ostrich by turning around to accuse other Nigerians as having a phobia for the same Igbo nation is simply disingenuous. If I were a Yoruba person, I would see a bigger insult to Yoruba race in Obasanjo's conduct than in Iwanyawu's outburst.
I dare say here that a good number of Yorubas are as guilty as Obasanjo as far as this ostrich playing is concerned all in a bid to seek a non-existent southern unity even in the face of provocations and speeches from Igbos which stand as unassailable evidences to the contrary.

Obasanjo's mother was impregnated by an Igbo man, OBJ is from Onitsha

MightySparrow:
Yoruba can never fight igbos but the bad analysis mouthed ones should keep watch over their mouths.

Every decent person will resist comments that can bringi bad blood between the tribes. It is good we live together in harmony.


To say my ancestral home belong to every Chinedu or Danladi is not acceptable in the market place or politics.
Stay at your respectable distance.

Never say never. Yorubas are being pushed to the wall

Damage control. The video is everywhere. We have taken note of every word spoken by the demented soul. When people say igbos haven't learnt from history, I always rise in their defence but the bullying, the insults and the various threats coming from them had thrown a big wedge between me and them, and I know several people from other tribes too have taken notes and until they realise the damage they have caused themselves politically and socially. It will be hard for other tribes in Nigeria to entrust them with the leadership of this nation

BREAKING: Ex-CGS Oladipo Diya dies at 79
26th March 2023
Oladipo-Diya
General Oladipo Diya (retd)

By
Sharon Osaji of Punch Newspaper

Lt. General Oladipo Diya, former Chief of General Staff under the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, is dead.

His death was announced in a statement by his son, Prince Oyesinmilola Diya, on Sunday morning.

It read, “On behalf of the entire Diya family home and abroad; we announce the passing on to glory of our dear husband, father, grandfather, brother, Lt-General Donaldson Oladipo Oyeyinka Diya (rtd) GCON, LLB, BL, PSC, FSS, mni.

“Our dear Daddy passed onto glory in the early hours of 26th March 2023. Please keep us in your prayers as we mourn his demise in this period. Further announcements will be made public in due course.”

The former Chief of General Staff was born on April 3, 1944 at Odogbolu in Ogun State.

Diya joined the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna and fought during the Nigerian Civil War.

He was appointed Chief of General Staff in 1993 and Vice Chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council in 1994. As Chief of the General Staff, he was second in command and the de facto vice president of Nigeria under Abacha from 1994.


Diya lost his wife, Folashade, in May of 2020.

They have up till May 29 to run their madness. After the date, they will see the true colours of Nigerians from Zamfara to Plateau. From Niger to Ondo. From Enugu to Cross Rivers. Enough of this madness

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

triple996:
NA DEM
Even 4 niger

So they still spread their 'campaign of development' to Niger state? These people sha!!!

SmartPolician:
Fayose doesn't hold any political value anymore. He cannot even win elections for PDP in his state. Why did they bother suspending the loquacious fellow? 🤔

The wailing wailer of his generation. I pity people that failed to learn from history

triple996:
waillers never heal yet

Haa! Heal kè it is like a sore in the leg of a diabetic patient. They will croak and shock till end of life

It takes a fool to listen to an Ekiti man. Ekiti people are not to be taken seriously. FOOLISH FEDERAL KOLA-NUT (FFK) is from Ekiti too.

What a delusional man!!! Whenever an Ekitiman speaks, the most educated man from your village shivers, pick a note and writes. An Ekiti man speaks with wisdom and are factual in their reasoning. You hate to hear the truth and that's why people like you speak from your anus. My dvice to you is that you shouldn't carry this hatred to your grave

timilehin007:
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. Politicians are indeed, funny people

Who be this one? He wants to use Ogun money play Baba Ijebu. Go to court if you have undisputed evidence against the incumbent and stop disturbing the peace of the state

While some Governors had purchased tickets to go and cool off, our amiable and indefatigable Governor continued with his giant strides. This is the type of person we need in Lagos, not an unknown entity that will destroy the legacies started by Jagaban. We are wiser to have reelected Sanwo-Olu

CSTRR:
Now.
Go and tell your jagaban to stick his healing where the sun doesn't shine.

Awon werey.

Iwo tó sá kúrò lá'rò, o jé padà sí'lé (Árò)

Same people, same wailers. They should be arrested and tried for treason. The court is there to handle any election matters, here they are, calling for interim government like their late father, Arthur Nzeribe, to scuttle our nascent democracy

Wailers that wakes up their elders with kicks must wail till the end of the century. We are focused and ready to sail in the same boat with Jagaban in the next 8 years

And one Obidient came online to renounce his membership of RCCG with flimsy excuse that RCCG supported APC during the last presidential and governorship elections, whose leader, never campaigned or supported any political party. Now that he went back to Catholic, what will he do now with this news, will he dish Catholic too? I now believe those that said Obi supporters are like maggots in the sore of a madman.
