Another day, another Igbo hating thread.

Nigeria exists only because Igbo hate exists. Take them out of the equations and the other components will find something to get busy with.

Something like finally seeing the Nigerian contraption for what it really is; a contraption.

Weird that a Sino Truck disappeared into thin air. RIP to the victim.

Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stepped into a volatile situation in Olamaboro Local Government Area, Kogi State, on Tuesday.

His timely intervention came as tensions escalated between lorry drivers and police officers on duty after a policeman allegedly shot the tyre of a trailer driver, sparking protests among other drivers.

They left Onitsha on Tuesday morning and as they got to the area they encountered a long line of stationary vehicles stretching for about half a kilometre.

Upon inquiry, they learnt that the police had shot the tyre of a trailer driver, leading all the trailer drivers at the scene to block the road in protest.

It was at that point that Obi alighted from his vehicle and walked to the epicentre where he met hundreds of drivers protesting the ill-treatment meted to their colleagues on one hand and commuters who felt stranded and delayed by the commotion.

“His arrival doused the tense atmosphere among the drivers and angry commuters alike who quickly turned cheerful, with chants of ‘Our President!’

“When Obi got to the driver who spoke in Hausa language and had been crying over his damaged tyre, the man’s mood changed instantly.

“Rather than continue to lament, he began taking selfies with Mr. Obi, and soon, an epidemic of selfies broke out among the crowd.

“Without even waiting for Obi to plead with him, the driver exclaimed in Hausa "Who am I for Obi to beg me? and immediately cleared the road, much to everyone’s relief.

“Apart from the driver the crowd of drivers and passengers who were delayed by the protest took advantage of Obi’s presence to take selfies with him.”

Three months ago, Peter Obi made a promise to Grimard College of Nursing Sciences in Anyigba, Kogi State when he presented N10 million to support their program. He promised them a school bus and was on his way to Kogi to fulfill it. He also presented them with an additional N5 million to cover registration, insurance, and other expenses for one year.

ILoveNG:
Our brothers from that side will always link everything to election 😂
Something wey don go

You should be concerned that you were able to make this connection yourself.

Ikaeniyan0:
While Otti is struggling to complete a 6km road he started a year ago

Yeah. However, you don't get erection without this uncompleted road anyways. So what's the fate of your love life if he eventually completes it?

I hate for you to be a lonely old man. 🥲

How else does taxation work, Mr Oyedele? This must be a joke that you're WORKING to achieve what is pretty much basic 🤷🏾‍♂️

Even secondary school students know the higher you earn, the higher the taxes you pay, and not in proportion with lower earners.

Does Mr Oyedele know there is something called tax bands? Weird.

DonMaxxy:
You don't even know the road in question and you are claiming that you passed through there that it is flooded. Even the Akwete road to Azumini/Opobo that you said is bad that two big motor fall there, is a Federal road, the money for the road was embezzled by Senator Adolphus Wabara, former Senate President, he is from Ukwa East. Even PorthHarcout road is a Federal road, but Governor Otti is working on it with Julius Berger ..

Abia State man that doesn't know Ariaria Junction... Lie lie. You are a known Labour Party and Obi hater here, so stop lying

Faber:
from Obehie to Osisioma you will pass through Flyover, Umuzuo village (Timber market), Niger Stone, Abayi Ariaria junction/Faulks road junction, Tonimas, Umuojima then Osisioma...

so how then you know that Umueze and Teaching hospital road is flooded, when you no even passed through the area...the area is just at your North East while going to Osisioma from Obehie...thats my point..

God will bless both of you for exposing that Obi/Otti hater. That's how he would have successfully spun that one to mislead people.

Kobojunkieee:
When was the video recorded?

If it was posted in 2016, it was evidently recorded long before 2022.

Well, this sounded like a load of bullshit because most aviation companies gave other excuses when questioned about high fares. I've never heard any of them say this.

But so we are not quick to dismiss anyone, especially since this is his portfolio, let's see how this affects the prices in the coming months.

Government overspending is the cause of inflation. They have to finance their overspending through:

1. Higher taxes, which we are already witnessing almost everywhere.
2. Borrowing: Like this topic suggests and which results in higher taxes to repay the loan.
3. Printing money: In Nigeria, the over spenders have a fancy name they call it: Ways and Means.

As a direct result, everything becomes expensive because the cost of goods and services climb as people have to meet up with the higher taxes and the rising cost of everything.

Guess who pays in the end? It is you and me, right after posting on Nairaland. Every minute we spend Nigerian Naira, we're paying for all of that overspending; every bit of them.

We need a leader who instead of buying shiny new toys, improves on existing ones, and demands every parastatal to save if they must spend on any new venture. Not senselessly unveiling supplementary budgets every now and then, even as the very first one is running on a deficit.

It is possible if the leader is free of corruption. Then, there are less greedy mouths to feed, and you can look corruption in the face and call it out. It is possible if the leader is free of corruption.

Truth is light. You cannot build a country based on collective hating on another. It never ends well.

Kenneth Okonkwo has chosen the path of illegality. I hope he finds a party that fulfils this secret wish of his.

Peter Obi is a different breed; the fresh of breath air Nigeria deserves. When the corrupt deeds of leaders are laid bare, a certain demographic will hide behind "Nigerian people are corrupt/the same". Now we have a leader playing by the book. The naysayers and evil mongers are spinning stupid rhetorics.

Peter Obi should stay his course. He was able to come this far without getting dipped in their evil schemes. I see the likes of Kenneth Okonkwo advising him to return to the old ways as traps set to keep Nigeria in her chains of oppression.

Anyone who steals power never intends to use it for something good. Peter Obi wrested power from the Ubas through legality. He should stay his course.

An analysis of the expenditure from the Eastern States by percentage:

Ebonyi (APC) - (N1.85bn) - 50%
Imo (APC) - (N1.22bn) - 33%
Anambra (APGA) - (N316.42m) - 8%
Abia (LP) - (N280.02m) - 8%
Enugu (PDP) - (N28.46m) - 1%

No surprises there, really.

Pluto33:
I can't see the Nord name/badge in any of those pictures so how can I spot the difference?

The first two are Nord. The second two are Kaiyi.

Spot the difference

Nord A9 Vs Kaiyi S7

Spot the difference

Nord A3 Vs Kaiyi Xuandu

AmazingELixir:
yet the whole of Lagos_ Ibadan road median from Alausa to ibafo, under the Oshodi bus terminals skywalk and the canal by the national art theatre are all converted to one huge poop collection / display canvas.

🤣🤣

chopnaira:
Fake news.

You're living under a rock. She lost the elections almost two weeks ago.

She lost the elections. After her hypocrisy was laid bare, the Irish folks asked her to go fix herself and her country first. One of her videos went viral, where she said the youths are not ready to lead. It was repeatedly quoted that she cannot be part of what she doesn't believe in.

She lost the elections to Councillor Linda Nelson Murray. And really, it was expected as her previously alien opinions hit her in the face at the dire moment.

Instead of asking them to come home, you said they can move to safer places

We see what you are doing o.

A junketeer who reminds me of the overzealous intern who puts the whole place in turmoil but here he is abandoning everything the moment it's time to leave.

Kenneth4u205:
He is guilty. He stole 3000 and another guy stole the remaining money . So that makes both of them thieves

This explanation will not save them from the Law sha.

whytediamond:
To show you how useless the protest has become, the wicked 9ja police come even get compassion during the protest.

Nigeria and Nigerians aren't ready yet. We have to tear down all the religious and ethnic barriers the politicians built to divide us. Untill then, make una find dry Garri take drink that bottled water without sugar.

Una go learn the hard way. Since una want teach another tribe lesson

It is expected that the police should be in sync because if things become better, they and their families benefit too.

ActiveFarms:
You should have asked your president for what you are asking me. Half wit

Nah your papa born you. 🍻

Abbeytoy:
I and my family do

Nice one. As you believe in one Nigeria reach, you make excuses for why academic excellence does not need to be rewarded

Abbeytoy:
were in Nigerian constitution was written to be given gift for graduating students?

But you can beg for people to donate their blood for free. You're doing well.

You people thought you had seen the last of Alex. Dey play

Much needed, to be honest.

This is a good invention but where is the database required for it to run off?

These things cannot be wished into existence.

dkidd:
He didn't serve a day.

Do you get? How is moving a drug like that of that amount and is getting just a fine in the first place?

Omo.

He ingested almost 2kg of cocaine the first time and served only 2 years?? With an option of fine?

What kind of playing is this? 😒😒
