Politics › Re: 2023 Election: Middle-Belt Coalition Urges Obi To Accept 2023 Election Outcome by Diligence: 5:22am On Jun 09, 2024
Easiest said! Accept Fraud! Congratulate Illegitimacy! Those 2/3 people aren't representing Middle Belt at all! They're selfish, hopeless & crassly stupid!

Millions of Nigerians voted for a true change, from Consumption to Production. The world gave Nigeria just one more opportunity to turn a new leaf, but Yakubu Mahmoud, BAT, some selfish politicians decided to work against the will of the people.

Guz: BAT will never achieve anything with stolen mandate of the people!

Who changes the goal post or turns off the light when football match is going on?

If BAT does not return stolen mandate, it's a curse on him & his administration & they will never achieve anything with the stolen mandate! Many of us knew & already made plans for the remaining 3 years. There are people you never steal from. The Judiciary Should hv rescued NigeriaNs, but they too stooped & cowered to abyss! Alas!

If you don't know, the stolen mandate represents SWEAT, BLOOD & HOPE of Millions of Nigerians. O boy: it's more spiritual dan u cld eva phantom!

A New Nigeria is POssible with Mr Peter Obi!
Politics › Re: FG Names Abuja Expressway After Chinua Achebe by Diligence: 6:25pm On Jun 08, 2024
Prof Chinua Achebe would not hv accepted naming International Airport or even Abuja Highway after him if he was alive!

He rejected national honours because he was disappointed with FG's policies, hypocrisies, double standards, multidimensional poverty of millions of Nigerians etc

So why "dishonour" him now?
Education › Re: Primary School Dropout Rate Across Geopolitical Zones (pic) by Diligence: 2:51pm On Jun 08, 2024
Upon free education!

South West just allowed Emilokan/Ebolans Agbadorians & BATeria to scatter Sage Pa Awo's legacy & replaced with touts, miscreants, agberos & owomi daa!

For SE: it's not about whether you go to school or work Monday to Saturday, it's all about PRODUCTIVITY & OPTIMAL USE OF YOUR TIME! Which other evidence una want? SE: Let's continue these bonding codes passed down to us by our ANCESTORS: "ONYE AYANA NWANNE YA, ECHEZONA & OZOEMENA", and let's further obliterate the 3% given....make it zero, pls!

The NigeriaN ... don't care what happens at any other places. They are in SE looking for what's not lost.

Any persons, community, region or ... Waiting for the Nigerian... To protect you, you are completely on your own.

That's why we say anybody who doesn't want ESN to protect The SE, may God punish them!

Shey una no remember the debt Tinubu plunged Lagos State into before he left Office as Governor on top of IGR this & dat! That's why Lagos Indigenes don't want to be part of South West if Regional Govt returns!

After Tinubu, Fashola also left huge debts...

Dear Mr Peter Obi: Obidients Worldwide don't give a hoot on wateva platform you stand! They just want to see Nigeria Work! Dazol! Indeed, A New Nigeria is POssible with Peter Obi!

One thing is this: Obidients are not constrained by any barriers (age, religions, ethnicities, political parties). In fact, it was clearly demonstrated esp in Lagos & Abuja in February, 2023!

A New Nigeria With Mr Peter Obi is POssible!

If you wanted to give up, pls don't yet! Hold on a bit!

Politics › Re: Lagos Indigenes In North America Support Regional System Of Govt by Diligence: 2:28am On Jun 07, 2024
BATeria on the beat. Don't twist the narratives. Lagos Indigenes in Lagos hv spoken they don't want to be part of South West if Regional System Returns. It has always been Lagos Colony! They're the real stakeholders, who wear the shoes & know where they pinch! These ones in "Ovesee" are Chicago Boys, we know!

On who used "Lagos is no man's land". It was Lateef Jakande who was, consequently, overwhelmingly voted when he was seeking elections...

Deoye Falade :

The first recorded statement referring to Lagos State as 'No-man's-land' was made by a Yoruba man in 1979. That man is the much loved Lateef Jakande, former governor of Lagos State during his inaugural address to the people of Lagos on October 1, 1979.

You don't have to believe me though, Google is your friend but I'll share the direct quote below:

"In 1886, Lagos was again set up as a separate colony in response to a petition by the people of Lagos who resented being governed from the Gold Coast. It was administered by a Governor of the Colony of Lagos under Letters Patent dated 13th January 1886. This was the first time that the territory now known as Lagos State came under one administration. The administration continued under various constitutions until 1954 when Lagos was separated from the rest of the Colony and constituted a Federal Territory, that is to say, a No-Man’s Land.

"God moves in a mysterious way, says William Cowper, His wonders to perform. His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour.
...
We learned nothing from the Civil War and this is on both the people and the government. For one, our government refuses to admit that it was not just a war but a genocide and by that refusal, glosses over a huge problem that will continue to plague us. Rwanda experienced their civil war in the 90s - two decades after ours but they learned. 'Never again' is a key phrase when it comes to both the Rwandan genocide and WWII. But here we are in Nigeria, learning nothing and making the same mistakes from 50 years ago.

Isn't it curious that this ethnic divisionary tactic only seems to rear its head every election cycle? The actors may be different but the playbook is the same. In 2023, it's MC Oluomo, Bayo Onanuga and co. In 2019, it was still MC Oluomo. In 2015, it was the Oba of Lagos and his Lagoon vibes. I'm sure that in 2027, it will be someone else but the same playbook will be used regardless of who the opposition candidate is. Doesn't matter if it's Jimi Agbaje, Musilu Obanikoro or Gbadebo Chinedu, it always creeps in.

Maybe we can't do better in general because we don't know better but that shouldn't be an excuse because the resources to know better are out there, we're just too lazy to think, not to talk of do. And it's even more grati

***

Fun Fact: Jakande won by getting 559,070 votes to become the first Executive Governor of Lagos State in 1979.

In 2019, Babajide Sanwo-Olu won with 739,445 votes and in 2023, he won with 736,000 votes.

For all of Lagos' population explosion over a space of almost 50 years, very little has changed. I think that's pretty interesting.

There's one thing we know: Sooner than later, APC's cup go full & NigeriaNs will take back their country one way or the other!

Could Rotimi Amaechi be right; that you can say or do anything to NigeriaNs & they will just accept it, hook, line & sinker!

Methinks APC is no longer campaigning! APC: Pls stop already! Charity begins at home nah.

"O kan mma nezi!". Just like Buhari's Rice Pyramid .. APC go soon hurriedly package milk & export am...just like "Nigeria Air!". They do these (Audio Rice Pyramid, Audio Nigeria Air & very soon Hurriedly Packaged Milk) in the face of insecurity, hunger, malnourishment, IDP Camps, Farmers not going to farms, nay, multidimensional poverty, just so to SCORE CHEAP Propaganda POINTS!

Check The Truth:

"Acute food insecurity is set to increase in magnitude and severity in 18 hunger “hotspots,” including Nigeria, a new United Nations (UN) early warning report has revealed."
Politics › Re: LP: Peter Obi Faults Appointment Of Persons To Oversee Obidient Movement by Diligence: 11:31pm On Jun 05, 2024
Ordinarily, Mr Peter Obi might not HV commented because The Obidient Movement is the coming together of like minds (without any creed, status, religion, ethnicity, et Al) who seek A New Nigeria where things work, led by a transformational Leader who would ensure Nigeria moves from Consumption To Production. You know what? It's a movement SANS (any imagined) FRONTIERS!

Guz: Emefiele strongly advised Buhari NEVER to remove fuel subsidy that the multiplicity effects would be devastating, that he should pass it on...

Unfortunately, Tinubu put the cart before the horse, & up till now, BAT doesn't care!

Ebolans BlindBatists Jagabandits Agbadorians BATeria must ALSO be held accountable; they're vicariously liable, too!

Let's guide MURIC thus:

Dear MURIC: Put pressure on BAT to expedite action on (at least-oo) ₦100k minimum wage & backdate to January 2024. Although I believe ₦250 is ideal. But Na give & take shah. Then give FG ultimatum to pay the arrears on or before Tuesday, 11th June 2023. Salla starts27 & 18 June 2024! Guess who would enjoy Sallah Wella & HV something to spare ...

Na so pressure group dey reason am nah! No be to dey make noise. Habbah!

This is the reason Buhari, Malami, Fg used army to fight against ESN, just so that these brutes can operate unhindered.

Every community must not wait for The State Govt or even federal government to protect themselves & carry out justice immediately when it is absolutely required!

Politics › Re: Muslims Say No To NLC, TUC Strike: It's ill-timed due to Salah - MURIC by Diligence: 4:13pm On Jun 03, 2024
When will MURIC speak for the welfare of (at least for empathy) the Muslim workforce?

MURIC has so enmeshed itself in stupid narratives that it self-stripped itself of any iota of respect!

Removal of fuel subsidy - MURIC: Zero concern
Floating of the Naira - MURIC: Keeps mute
Hyper Inflation - MURIC: Deaf & Dumb
Insecurity nationwide - MURIC: Blind, deaf & Dumb
Multi Dimensional poverty powered by APC - MURIC (Silent)

How will the poor amongst them even celebrate Sallah. Met a great Muslim friend. He narrated to me how the ram he managed to buy last time has tripled in price from about N190k to over N500k. I asked him if he was pricing a cow!

MURIC is not representing aliens! MURIC is a pretending organisation. MURIC under its current conniving & compromising leadership should simply STFU!
