Let them kill themselves, we don't care.

Jagaban is the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria

slivertongue:
The name I learnt came into the public space during the civil war

but there is no other term known that have been used to refer to an Igbo person by the Hausas before the civil war, apart from nyamiri. That civil war narrative might just be a fallacy.

Op's explanation is more accurate. Igbo people have been called nyamiri in the north long before civil war. No wonder there is no such word as 'baibe' like bayarabe and bahaushe.

I learnt that the adoption of such term was due to lack of familiarity between the Hausa and Igbos prior to colonial era that brought many Igbo civil servants and traders to the north.

slivertongue:
False narrative

Not false. I grew up in Kano and I know about this since I was a child. Hausa normally have a particular pattern of creating adjective to describe someone from the name of a place or tribe the person comes from. Examples, bakatsine is for someone from Katsina, bahaushe is for a Hausa man, basakkwace for a man from Sokoto, bayarabe is for Yoruba man, etc.

I learnt that the term nyamiri was derived from mmiri and was used to describe the Igbo people whom they only get to know about during colonial era.

You might not believe that the town named kwankwaso derived its name from 'okonkwo and sons' an Igbo trader who had a warehouse near railway line that later become a settlement.

ALTERNATEID:
This is a very hypocritical and senseless take. Every other person can make mistake except Tinubu. Is Tinubu no longer human like the rest of them?

We all saw Peter Obi talking incoherently and shouting naanu on CNN. We saw him call Nasarawa a country instead of a state. Now, it’s Datti sympathizing with Peter Obi at a press conference he purposely called to mock Tinubu.

See, God simply disgraced Datti publicly to send a message to folks like you that you are not God and cannot mock anybody created by God. That Datti can make such a silly mistake when attempting to mock Tinubu should teach you guys a lesson. Stop the president unnecessary and hypocritical attack and stop excusing nonsense.

God bless you.

Almighty God hates hypocrisy. He disgraces a hypocrite in many ways. The fools always mock Tinubu but God is putting them to shame.

My father is also an idiot God punish him

who let the dog out?!!!!

obynzo:
I will always be stupid and senseless.

ok o....mad dog, continue barking

obynzo:
You are asking what did he steal? Bros you lack honor and your gaslighting is despicable.
Again there are selfless politicians so let us stop playing semantics and lying through our teeth.
Lastly you call clear gaffes slip of tongue, bros I shame for you on behalf of your family. You intentionally want to wish away these things just because of what you perceive you would gain which is obviously paltry.
Bros have conscience abeg.

You are acting like someone with mental illness. Why are you so emotionally overheating? Why do you guys always react in the same way? Are you guys dogs? Why always barking?

Your silly rants don't move me an inch. One thing that is damn sure is Obi will never and ever become the president of Nigeria....Just try and take your social media madness to the street after the 2023 election, you will learn your lessons.

obynzo:
In your point 1 you referred to his antecedents as governor. Which blood antecedents? The same Lagos we dey when he was governor he didn't do anything. You vlaimed he increased IGR from 600m fact emerged that at 1999 when Marwa handed over Lagos IGR was 14billion. Again you people lied that state funds were held by Obasanjo whereas it was local government funds that he held back. The FAAC allocation for states was never held and Lagos was given it due every month. You guys just ascribe Fashola's achievements as his antecedents please have honor and conscience and stop trying to deceive people. The same man that introduced a dangerous form of tribalism and bigotry never seen in Lagos since Jakande and the military era.

If you kill yourself on top Tinubu matter na your problem be that. We are voting for him. Go vote for your Obi and stop senseless behaviour online

Na ur papa be illiterate… God punish ur father left yansh

idiot

obynzo:
No but isn't it a mark of someone that doesn't have sense to be canvassing for people to vote someone who clearly they know is a thief and doesn't have their interest and to top it up he is losing cognitive abilities.

1. A thief: What did he steal? If you are referring to looting of Lagos treasury as alleged by his political adversaries, which of them does not loot? Let's be careful with the way we condemn people of other ethnic groups carelessly. This further fans ember of animosity and tribal bigotry. He has never been convicted of any crime of corruption while we have many politicians today who have served jail terms. Those ex-convicts still aspire for political office today and they are not tagged as thieves, but Tinubu is a thief!

The reality remains his antecedent as a governor and the progress he has brought to Lagos through continuity and administrative stability since 1999. Any other accusation remains a conjecture emanating from the envious minds of his haters, since non has been proven in a court of law.

2. Interest of the people: No politics without interest. You said he 'doesn't have their interest' Tell me the politician that has your interest. Don't let us be too emotional about political matters. No politician has the interest of the people as his primary objective. No wonder they change parties as they change clothes. It is all about personal interest. That is why we have different political parties. It is like saying a soap making company and its employees have the interest of the people. Yes, their product will benefit the people but personal gain is the primary motivation for their engagement.

3. Losing cognitive ability: Your assertion is purely based on slips of tongue while he speaks. Freudian slip does not in any way imply loss of cognitive ability. It is just about inability to prevent what's on your mind from occasionally overriding what you consciously intend to say. It is a normal humanly weakness especially common among people who are not eloquent and does not indicate mental decline in anyway.

It is well understood that he is not an eloquent speaker but a very brilliant thinker.

Senselessness is when you bully people for not sharing the same view with you.

Nonsense news just de pop up for this naira land… me wen de anambra like this God punish the person wen post this news.. na fake new please debunk

jcross19:
There is no tyranny here , we have been fooled since 2015 we thought we have seen Messiah not knowing that they were solve under sheep skin.. Devil incarnates..

Don't you think the circle is being repeated here with Obi, just as it was with Buhari in 2015? Isn't it high time we stopped giving politicians the status of a messiah or saint?

effort1:
Lolz. Even Lagos election results will shock you.

okay

jcross19:
only insane man will support this evil party APC!!! Anyone rooting for APC in the presidential race,you are mad fellow and you deserve to live in sambisa forest..

Don't be silly. It is democracy.

Tyranny is obidients' biggest flaw

Obynzo why insulting everybody?

gidzbobby:
You can’t even give an answer… You need to check yourself man.

what answer do you want? Will my answer change your view about BAT? As your allegations and propaganda can't change my own personal view of who Tinubu is, my explanation won't change yours as well.

Democracy is about freedom of choice. Stop demonizing people who don't share same political view with you. Why asking me to check myself? For damn what?!

gidzbobby:
Question for Bola Tinubu's supporters:
What is it that makes you support a man whose entire life is built on lies, whose source of wealth is shrouded in mystery and allegations of grand and ongoing corruption, and whose health and mental cognition is failing?��

....According to zombidients

Obi's ambition is seriously harming PDP. It is getting clearer and clearer that Obidients are inadvertently being obedient to APC and the man they so much love to hate.



<><>BAT'23................Jagaban is looking at Obidients like......

A Coalition of youths in Anambra state have called on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, to drop his ambition to lead Nigeria and join hands with progressives forces in the South-east to negotiate a brighter political future for the Igbo people.

The group called Coalition of Anambra Youth Leaders, said that there are fears that Obi’s insistence on contesting the presidency will rub-off negatively on Ndigbo and brighten the chances of the All progressives Congress (APC) to retain power at the center.

Noting that the APC experiment has been disastrous for the country, the youth coalition said all efforts must be geared towards rescuing Nigerian from the party, adding that another four years of APC at the centre may eclipse Nigeria totally.

Addressing journalists at a press conference in Awka, the Anambra state capital, National Leader of the Coalition, Dr. Chinedu Ekwealor, said Ndigbo stand a better chance of returning to power at the center through the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to him, Obi ought to, at this time, reconsider the negative impact of his personal ambition on the future of the Igbo nation and stand down in support of the party which vice presidential candidate he was in 2019.
Ekwealor said that Obi’s Labour Party has no mathematical chance of winning the 2023 presidential election adding however that emotions will not bring in the desired numbers that will satisfy the constitutional requirement to be declared winner of the presidential election in Nigeria.

Though he said that it was human for people to be emotional about Obi’s ambition, the youth leader however stated that “emotions don’t win elections. Superior numbers do”.
Stating that “Obi does not have a mathematical chance of making victory possible”, the youth group said “let us not be emotional about it. No Igbo man can be President of Nigeria without a formidable alliance with the other major regions that make up Nigeria.”

He argued that “in the early ’60s and late ’70s, Ndigbo understood this point quite frankly and maintained a robust relationship with our northern brothers. Our brother Peter Obi does not have this alliance and knows very well that an irate social media mob does not, and cannot, make him President.”

Warning that Obi’s ambition may work against the Igbo nation in the near future, the youth coalition said: “Obi’s presidential run is sabotage to Ndigbo. What he has only succeeded in doing is increasing APC’s chances of winning the election by depleting the votes of the southeast for PDP. The implication is that the Southeasterners will have to stay out of power for a minimum of another 16 years. This is because after Tinubu (if he wins), power would return to the north for another eight years leaving Ndigbo out for another 16 solid years.

“If Mr. Peter Obi truly loves Ndigbo, he should step down forthwith and strategize with other well-meaning Igbo elites in charting a way forward for the Igbo nation. We repeat, the presidency is not won on the premise of wishful thinking and hullabaloo of an untamed mob, who probably do not even understand the need for a pathway for the Igbo nation”, Dr. Ekwealor added.

Pushing for a new narrative for the Igbo nation, the youth coalition said that “Ohaneze Ndigbo and prominent Igbo leaders, including Obi, must now without any further delay, engage seriously with the frontliners in the forthcoming presidential election, and secure bankable negotiations for Igbo political renaissance and pathway to the presidency of Nigeria”.

Commending the Anambra state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, for his courageous display of statesmanship in speaking the truth to Obi, the group said the governor, in his essay, “stated the facts as if they were not minding whose ox is gored”.

According to the group, Soludo displayed courage and leadership in his treatise as the fate of the Igbo nation is in jeopardy following Obi’s ambition.

The group said: “It takes a lot of courage and political will for any politician from the southeast to make the very firm, bold and factual statements as Governor Soludo did. This timely intervention by the prudent thinker has given leeway to other prominent Igbo leaders, who for the avoidance of the shameful macabre dance by a mob, swallowed their hallowed bank of wisdom and refused to air an opinion on this matter, now to come forward with critical thinking and analysis.”

Calling on the Igbo nation to rise in support of the building of stronger alliances with other sections of the country for political gains, the group said Ndigbo can no longer afford to exclude themselves from Nigeria’s politics by playing the politics of exclusion.

It noted that the Igbo nation ought to now borrow a leaf from the political sagacity of one of their revered son, late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, who according to the group, built bridges that many Igbo peopl climbed to become national political icons.

“History repeats itself only to those who do not learn from history. Ndi Igbo must now wake up and adopt the political sagacity and gusto of late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. The Zikist politics of bridge building gave Ndigbo our best chance in the political history of Nigeria when an Igbo man was President of Nigeria in the ’60s, and another Igbo man as Senate President, the same Zikist politics of alliance gave Ndigbo the Vice Presidential and House of Representatives speakership slots in 1979. That is what Ndigbo have forgone for wishful thinking and mob action which has repeatedly gotten us nowhere”, the group stated.

I'm not your Father who doesn't have a voter's card bro, My voter's card is staring at me right now waiting for Feb 25th so I can use it and vote massively for peter Obi

Nawa o. One person voting 'massively'. No be JuJu be dat?

Obi supporters are truly ..............….

TheFacelessMan:


Tinubu won APC Primaries in a landslide despite President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman opposing him...

That's the same way he will flog other aspirants.

Like him or hate him but the guy is a thorough bred politician. He's a Grandmaster that can beat you in several different ways.

El Rufai, Akeredolu, Fayemi and Amosun ALL publicly opposed and made humiliating remarks. What was his response now and then? SILENCE. Question is how exactly did he make them all fall in line ?

How much money will you offer a Governor who got 250 million naira monthly for 8 good years in security votes PLUS other billions?

Obviously, BAT made them offers they couldn't refuse.

Mark my words, Nigeria wouldn't become USA overnight but either Atiku or Tinubu will fix long running issues like ASUU, National ID card etc.

Why ? Both men are ruthless and crafty. They are both named crooks but give either a chance. After all, The Saint failed woefully.

Nigeria needs a Leader who's a "rugged crook" not a Saint because at least 150 million behave like animals.

Tinubu can be a diplomat or warrior as the situation demands.

Peter Obi didn't face 1/1 trillion of challenges Tinubu faced before Obi ran from PDP primaries.

This is the 'faceless' truth!

Lamba Party
Liars party
Losers' Party
Lulè Party

Tinubu belongs to iragbiji his home town


He is unqualified to be president

Iragbiji is more Nigeria than your home town

Are you trying to say that these people are not up to a jamb(UTME) exam center?

hahaha! You dey whine me? Anyway, Jamb go pass dis one small sha

Indispensable85:
Very very very very very poor! Hope Obi has gotten the message now? The South West doesn't play when their own is on the ballot. Tinubu will do better in the south east than Obi in the south west. That's what structure does. Just watch Apc rally in Ebonyi tomorrow. Obi should go and collect his money from PA Adebanjo immediately. This is more like a local government rally. Too poor!

Damn too poor. Even embarrassing for a presidential candidate

Omo, see crowwwwwd meeen!

The people here are up to two hundred if I'm not mistaken. That is massive!!

This should be a bit higher than the population of guests at Basira's wedding ceremony last Saturday.
