For 3 days now, the streets of Iran have been locked down by citizens protesting against RISING COST OF FOOD.

The fun part? Iran is not even a democracy .

Contrast this with Nigeria. Exchange rates have risen over 120%.

Cost of food stuff has more than doubled in the last 2, years.

There's pending fuel scarcity that has lasted weeks.

And what do we do? Sit our fat arses down on Twitter and argue about tribes with the most beautiful girls.

Nigerians are lazy and cowardly. No wonder we are suffering in the midst of plenty.

It's sickening. Tufia!

Iran is a country while Nigeria is a zoo.

Nigeria is blessed with useless leadership. Anyway, the leadership in Nigeria is equally the product of its society.

Rmxr:
Biafla can choose to be whatever. I probably didn't phrase it well. Biafla might not be dead but Ipob is dead. I don't care about what's going on in Ghana and Ethiopia

A typical deluded Nigerian.

sarrki:
Self delusion

Its not wasinton

Its called Washington

You cannot even copy correctly. You are really a perennial JAMBer.

TheHistorian:
IPOB is fraud.

It takes a fraud to know another.

Nigeria used to be a failed state. Now, it is a sunken zoo.

ImperialYoruba:
But will use their facility to sneak into the country...

Any reasonable fellow will use the facilities owned and even operated by Nigeria to destroy the country if such a fellow desires to do so. There is no moral standout to suggest otherwise.

Alariiwo:
Keep shut my friend.

You hate bigots but love Nnamdi Kanu and his hate speeches all over youtube.
Hypocrite sef dey talk.

It is safe to say you have intellect less comparable to the intellect of a Monkey. The so-called Sardauna wanted Republic of Nigeria hence One-Nigeria while Nnamdi Kanu did not want Nigeria or the silly One-Nigeria. It is idiotic to disparage the ethnicity of the people a person wants as compatriots. Nnamdi Kanu did not want the scumbags he disparaged as his compatriots. It is very difficult for people with shallow intellect to engage in analogous differentiation.

Jaideyone:
yes and Catalan also sends a team to the world cup clown.
if you want Biafra tell your senators and HORs to raise the motion. stop blaming others for your misfortunes. you won't get biafla by blaming afonja and aboki

I thought clownish Nigerians are limited to Oshodi, Lagos State. Which rock hibernated you all this time? Only a fool in your cadre will expect a Nigerian official to tender a motion on Biafra.

ManMountain:
Taaaaaaaa!!! Mechionu diaaaa!!

Who dashed Dede respected figure status?

You must be a member of the cornerstones, son. It is good,at least, you realized that "Respected figure status" is not dashed.

enemyofprogress:
it shows how civilized we are unlike you fokn bastards, don't take it for granted

"You fokn bastards" are not civilized because Nigerian constitution said every Nigerian can contest for election.

Lot13:
Yorubas feel at home in the north just like the Hausa/Fulani feel at home with us in the SW mutually respecting our culture and tradition but it is contrary with the Ibos. Yorubas are never interested in going to the SE talkless of living there.You are only using that lie to justify your trooping to the SW en masse.

You have not realized that Hausa, Fulani, Nupe and Kanuri joined hands to drive Yari.ba people down to the southern part of Nigeria. The original home of Yari.ba peeps is situated around north-central few miles north of Ilorin, Kwara State.

resurgentxtian4:
Why are you arguing about Yorubas going to the east? Is it by force to go there?

Your argument make it seem you are begging Yorubas to go to the east. Igboland is not viable economically so yorubas won’t go there.

Why are you so worried about Igbo in the so-called Yari.ba land? Yari.ba land is situated in the north central region of Nigeria.

rdokoye:
Just to make this clear, this group was founded by an Isoko man.

Anybody south-east of Ore, except Edo, is Igbo to Yari.ba peeps. The Yari.ba are inherent cowards. Ordinary group of marketers is rendering Yari.ba completely disorganized.

He wrote:

"The personal names of Hausa-speaking northern Nigerian Christians also have an onomastic uniqueness that is worth exploring. I use “Hausa-speaking northern Nigerian Christians” here rather loosely to refer to a miscellany of ethnic groups primarily in Nigeria’s northwest and northeast who are nonetheless united by Christianity and the Hausa language."

I think it will also be interesting for the author to broaden his preliminary thoughts on Hausa-speaking Northern Christian names by adding to the list their "ingenious or rather ingenuous method of name bearing" that even though are Hausa words, it is Hausa-speaking-northern-christians unique creation.

Below names will fall under this category:

-Godiya (gratitude)

- Murna (happinness)

- Qauna (Love)

- Bamaiyi (Shorten form of Bamaiyi sai Allah. Meaning Only Allah is Able)

And other humorous names like Angulu (vulture), Bindiga (gun), Wuta (fire)

The above names are native Hausa names just like Igbo, Yoruba, Ibibio or Edo names which have nothing to do with any religious sect. There are Hausa Christians who taken names such as John, James, Daniel etc, just like any other ethnic group in Nigeria. However the original poster wanted us to believe that Arabic names taken by Hausa Christians were exclusively Hausa and Christian not withstanding that such names have also been bore by Hausa Muslims too.

Tinubu's First Daughter Welcomes Bouncing Baby Boy After Years Of Marriage

Congratulations are in order for the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Chief (Mrs) Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, who has welcomed a bouncing baby boy after many years of waiting. The baby was reportedly given birth to on Monday, December 25th. Both the mother and baby are in good health, according to reports.

Chief (Mrs.) Folashade Tinubu-Ojo is the first daughter of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and is married to Hon. Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo, a member of the House of Representatives.

Source; https://www.nationalhelm.co/2017/12/iyaloja-general-of-nigeria-tinubus-daughter-welcomes-baby-boy.html

It appears some people in Nigeria have the crave for stupidity. When did Nigeria establish a position for the idiotic "Iyaloja-General" for goodness sake?

lordkush:
BTW I hope it's not what I'm seeing in that pic they want to buy.


I mean who buys jets with anterior propellers ;-\

It is a turboprop not a jet.

Jaideyone:
clown go back and read the post you quoted.
tell us why we should take ipob seriously when your governors and senators are still screaming one Nigeria

You are really pouching above your intellectual class on this discourse. What a dumbass clown. Do you realize that Scotland exists as and still regarded as independent country? Scotland fields a team in the World Cup and federation Cup just to mention a few. Does Biafra even exist as anything? I must say that most Nigerians are idiotically drunk.

The caption of this thread is utterly deceitful. There is nothing such as Hausa Christian names. However the author of the original post has attempted to convince undiscerning onlooker to think Arabic names which are equivalent to Christian names are Hausa Christian names. Most Arabic names are found with religious folds such Islam and Christianity.

Jaideyone:
Olodo so insulting afonja and aboki is the way to ask for Biafra? go and read what the Scots and Catalans did. they elected pro secessionists as lawmakers. we won't take you seriously until ekweremadu raises the motion for Biafra independence in the senate. till that is done ibos are clowns

It takes one Olodo to recognize another, I must say you really have a way to be stupidity. With your level of intellect as posited in the above post, I should not be surprise if you construe a praise as an insult. Again only dumbass fool will even dream of comparing the situation of IPOB/MAASOB with Scottish and Catalonians. I suggest you engage in serious reading before exposing your ignorance in the public.

GEJisBOKO:
Mr Gull

I learnt rochas okoroawusa wants to erect a statue for you in Douglas road. I heard okoroawusa is the best governor in shitgboland

Mallam Boko,

I guess whosoever learnt or heard from okoroawusa must be in the same class of useless clowns with okoroawusa. I must congratulate you for such achievement.

ImperialYoruba:
Your stateman from SE said you had political power above Yoruba. Do you not agree with him? Easily, your political superiority puts you out of the marginalized group bracket. Yoruba should now be the one crying political marginalization....not just crying of it, but indeed reflected in its social structure in the West.

Its either you are lying about marginalization, or your stateman is lying about Ibo having political superiority.

It is not for me to judge you on human intellect. However the above post does not help your case. Only a domesticated miscreant does not understand the dynamic nature of politics. Nigeria has been politically motivated toward cut off mark for territory intakes. It is clearly exposed that certain loudmouthed section of the country had cut off marks way below those from south-east. If that is not act of political marginalization to you, I suggest you see a physician.

What struck my fancy is that Somalia has no grain of crude oil. Nigeria must be disintegrated in order to save certain section of humanity.

Femi Fani-Kayode could not be more correct with his tweet this time around.

UN is behaving like backward and underdeveloped countries of the world. I wish for the demise of the useless organization. How many observers has the incompetent UN sent to UK, USA, France, Germany or even Russia to support peaceful transfer of power. The idiotic UN should stop treating Africans as if they are fools and kindergarten grade pupils.

Jaideyone:
buhahahahahaha everyone is complaining about infrastructure!!! you ibos cry for the world to see like the other parts of the country are enjoying while you are suffering. we are in it together. it's time to stop pointing fingers.

you just gave us names of notable IBO people in all the four Democratic dispensations.

if azikiwe, jaja nwachikwu did well leading the country why did the military had to step in in an IBO dominated coup?

ironsi took over during the coup and abolished regional government. he created the unitary system that is giving us headache today.

the ibo man created the unitary system and the Fulani man mastered it and enslaved us all with it!!!!


yet your people will come and tell us how the north is solely responsible for all our problems

you helped ruin the country and you atr now shouting biafla or death

accept your fault first!!!! then we'll sit and tall without insulting the other ethnic groups

You are one of the basement squatters who will develop the diarrhea of the mouth when Ndigbo mount a secession campaign. If you lots are not anemically deceptive in character and demeanor, the call for disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria should not border most jackasses.

BeautifulSE:
So you've occupied all these and you still scream marginalization. You clowns change the narrative when it suits you Greedy assholes

You clowns do not even understand the intrigues of marginalization. When a quota system is skewed to stop the advantage of certain group of people, such endeavor is act of marginalization. It is shameful that the so-called sophisticates instead of Greedy Assholes still enjoy a cut-off mark way below that of the people from south-east. Most Nigerians are incompetent fools.

SouthEastFacts:
I am still enjoying my Christmas, I don't have time for long article.

I stumbled upon the quoted this morning, so this short piece is an unedited response to that. When time permits, I shall run a full analysis.


The problem with some Yorubas is nothing but Shallowness. To them Nigeria started in 1999, fourth republic. But if you ask them where SW was before the fourth republic most of them will open their mouth staring at you.

Pre Republican era
First and only Governor General (Nnamdi Azikiwe)
First Speaker (Jaja Nwachukwu, Present day, Abia)
First President of the Senate (Nnamdi Azikiwe)

First Republic
First President (Nnamdi Azikiwe)
First President of the Senate (Nwafor Orizu)
First Acting President (Nwafor Orizu)
First Foreign Minister (Jaja Nwachukwu)
First GOC, NA (Aguiyi Ironsi)

Military Era
First Military Head of State (Aguiyi Ironsi)

Second Republic
First Vice President (Alex Ekwueme)
First Speaker (Ume Ezeoke)

Third Republic
We already know what happened here.

Abiola a wealthy Yoruba Muslim ran for President on the platform of SDP. He won a decisive victory to become the first and only Southerner to defeat a Northern overwhelming in the North.

Second republic Governors took office on January, 1993, while IBB postponed the Presidential election to June 12. Which he eventually won decisively.

According to New York Times (1993) "Many Yoruba have long resented the domination of Nigeria's political life by the mostly northern Hausa-Falani ethnic group, and were ecstatic when one of their own, Mr. Abiola, appeared to have won the recent balloting," but 11 days later, he annulled the election.

11 days again, on July 4, 1993, General Babangida took Chief Abiola and family into confidence. He told them point blank, 'they' (North) will kill you (MKO) rather than allow you to become the elected President,
Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria'.
https://m.thenigerianvoice.com/news/53716/1/the-secret-behind-the-annulment-of-june-12-amp-wha.html

In 1994, he declared himself President and was imprisoned for 4 years in solitary confinement.

On the day was due to be released, on the 7th July 1998, he died of natural cause after agreeing to renounce his mandate upon learning that the world has abandoned him, telling him they won't recognize a 5 year old election.

The government of Ernest Shonekan that took over from IBB was dismantled within 3 months by the same power that doesn't want Abiola as President. Failing to consolidate his power within 3 months, his government was dismantled with just 40 soldiers.

Announcing his Cabinet list, Shonekan became the First Civilian Head of State to alienate Ndi Igbo from government, giving Ndi Igbo 4 out of 31 Cabinet appointments.

Senate President (NC)
Fourth Republic (First 8 years)
First President (SW)
First Vice President (NE)
First Senate President (SE)
First Speaker (NW)

Note: In the 4th Republic, the SW was just compensated with the Presidency because of the 3rd republic debacle.

To achieve this, all parties were directed to field only SW, because in a liberalized election, Obasanjo the anointed can not win the election. So 4th Republic Presidency is NOT an achievement for the SW, because their own preferred candidate, Olu Falae was roundly defeated, and forced into political irrelevance. In essence, greater Nigeria imposed Obj on the SW.

They were allowed to that position not as a result of political clout or sophistication, but as result of benevolence of Nigerians. In 2003, Obj had to beg Atiku, his subordinate in a kneeling position to allow him complete his term.

www.dailypost.ng/2017/12/11/obasanjo-knelt-atiku-begging-second-term-idahosa/

Fourth Republic (Second administration)
President (NW)
Vice President (SS)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (SW)
Deputy Speaker (SE)
Deputy SP (SE)

Note: SW was kicked out of the House after the first tenure. They were not allowed to complete their zoned 8 years. Tambuwal took from Bankole.

Fourth Republic (third Administration)
President (SS)
Vice President (NW)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (NW)
Deputy Speaker (SE)
Deputy SP (SE)

Fourth Republic (fourth Administration)
President (NW)
VP (SW)
Senate President (MB)
Speaker (NE)
Deputy SP (SE)
Deputy Speaker (SW)

Note: VP is the only achievement of SW in the fourth Republic, a position they got by the benevolence and popularity of His Excellency, the President.

When they tested their political clout and sophistication at the national level outside the benevolence of Northern backed political clout, they were roundly defeated and political sophistication demystified during the tussle for the position of SP and Speaker.

The political sophistication of SE/SS got the SE the Deputy SP even though they don't truly deserve it. This means the North still prefer their age lond Political Cooperation with the East to their recent cooperation with the West, even though the East didn't help them achieve the Presidency.

Don't forget the 4th Republic is just 18 years. You don't expect all the 6 regions to produce President within that 18 years. 3 regions have done their part (SW ( SS (4) NW (6, remaining 2 years), 3 are yet to do theirs, hence power is going to NE unfailingly through Atiku. When time comes, nobody will stop Igbo Presidency. SS will as well complete the other 4 years when time comes.

When it comes to politics at National level, SW are just crawling. They can't beat SE political records or ever catch up with them.

The SW got the Presidency and Vice Presidency out of benevolence of people. The same way they love free owambe in real life. The only position they truly fought for President in 3rd Republic and Speaker in fourth Republic they were both disgraced out. While they were not even allowed to test the 3rd Republic Presidency, they were not allowed to complete their 8 years for speakership. Even the Military they got was out of necessity and Obj was pressured to return power to Civilian Government where a North-East cooperation got them the Vice President for a 2 terms.

Abiola did not win any election. It is fallacy to assume a winner in election that was nullified or cancelled. Only knuckleheads in Nigeria seemed to pronounce Abiola winner of any election.

It depends what the consumer wants out of a vehicle. It could be dependability, comfort, durability, Luxury, desirability and size. Those know little or much about vehicles will go further into the engine format, construction type, performance and suspension system.
Although RX trumps RRS on 5 of the 6 above listed consumer ratings, it is not proper to compare 06 RX330 and 06 RRS.

One way to know is when you go under the car and you see a long straight round metal connected from the gearbox straight to the back differentials to meet the wheels.


NB: this picture displayed is not exactly RX330, its infact a jaguar xf and xj AWD system. However, it looks similar to that of lexus. Note the red coloured metal connecting the gear box from the front to the rear wheel.

This description equally tells of a RWD vehicles too.

06Buzz09:
Funny enough the Lexus rxx330 guzzles more fuel mpg than the RRS @ 14 vs 18 mpg within city and 19 vs 24 mpg on highway.

You must have engine or system issues for the above to happen.

Monumental Fraud In Oil Corporation Revealed! As NNPC Staff Force Marketers To Buy Allocation From Family And Friends Of Politicians




How fuel allocations are diverted to Emirs’ sons, top politicians’s nephews, First class Kings, ministers’ girlfriends and military officers’ in-laws.



It is a major cause of fuel scarcity – Oil marketers
The anti-corruption war is overrated. Ask oil marketers. The seeds of morality and patriotic service allegedly planted by President Muhammadu Buhari wilted in that very moment he sowed it Nigeria’s fertile mounds.




Contrary to speculations that corrupt oil deals and other shady machinations will become a thing of the past under the watchful eyes of Buhari, dishonesty thrives and gallops through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).




Oil marketers revealed that senior executives of the NNPC connive with subordinates and prominent people in the ruling party to divert oil allocations to family and friends of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) and even allies in major opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).




The Capital findings revealed that rather than give oil allocations to oil marketers directly, NNPC staff divert oil allocations to cronies and relatives of Nigeria’s ruling class and afterwards, compel oil marketers to purchase the oil allocations from them at ridiculously high prices, which makes it impossible for the marketers to make profit from sales.




This is one of the reasons for the lingering fuel scarcity in the country, according to oil marketers and a highly placed source in the NNPC.




According to a major oil marketer who owns major depots and filling stations across the southwest and southsouth regions, NNPC staff give oil allocations to either an Emir’s son, a retired military General’s in-law or girlfriend of a minister. Then they force oil marketers to buy the allocations from them claiming it is the only way they can get oil allocations.




Sometimes, they tell the marketers that the Emir’s wife is sick and he needs money to finance her surgery in India; other times, they may tell oil marketers that they must buy the allocations from a military officer’s in-law or a minister’s girlfriend who supposedly needs the money urgently to settle some crucial bills.




The story changes on few occasions and they tell the marketers that a governor’s son is getting married and they will have to purchase oil allocations from the intending groom or his mother. Whatever the situation, the oil marketers are often forced to buy oil allocations from the middlemen who sell the allocations at outrageous prices.



This is why the marketers rebel and attempt to increase pump price of fuel.

I solely blame the alleged existence of the idiocy posited in the above post on those who joined the northern region of Nigeria to precipitate war against Ndigbo and Biafrans in 1967.
