Even the Fulanis that kills across Nigeria don't get this hatred. Thats why I believe Igbo hate is as a result of envy

ElSudani:
They bully and abuse everyone and then cast themselves as the innocent victims. These folks must be living on a different planet.

Iyabo Ojo is an Obidient.

As for the others, action and reaction are equal and opposite

UpaIweka:
As far as I am concerned that is more than enough for me. Whatever make Igbos think they have a right to insult Adeboye Kumuyi Soyinka Joke Silva Iyabo Ojo n others if Nigeria want to scatter that hate fools from your tribe think you know how to do I have dedicated 8 years of my life / 8 years of Tinubu presidency to it.

Judging from history how you igbos malign Awolowo MKO Abiola n other Yoruba leaders n paint fools like Azikwe n Ojukwu as saint even when the effect of their foolish decisions still resonate in your lives in 2024. My own generation will not give your fathers the luxury to malign any leaders from any tribe again for your children to celebrate.

Cursed bastard like Peter Pandora Obi must be the lunatic your father will insult malign abuse n denigrate for your unborn generation to regret that you have always produced lunatic n bastard as leaders in igboland.

Don't act like you're new in Nigeria.

The large majority of Nigerians are corrupt esp those benefitting from the status quo.

Its not as simple as you make it seems. The establishment is highly corrupt and unyielding....but something would eventually give

Kobojunkie:
Please don't lie! Where are these Nigerians calling for it? Where is the evidence that these requests have been received by their representatives and senators? Where? Let's stop with these lies for Pete's sake!
You say elections are rigged by Governors, yet to date, not a single record of a call for impeachment of any single governor by the state senators or reps. Why?


2. See... it is 3 years before 2027, but rather than demand change now, most are waiting for 2027 to see what will happen. Imagine that nonsense?

Nigerians are calling for it alright but the political class knows they're unpopular so avoiding the reforms that would end their political careers.

I have a feeling that 2027 would be different. Any attempt to rig that election like 2023 will result in a revolution. There is likely to be a revolution before then due to Tinubu's abysmal performance

Kobojunkie:
So exactly what is stopping the Nigerian people from calling for these reforms today?

Once a man is dead, thats the end of it all, he has no awareness and cannot appreciate anything.

I'd prefer to spend money on orphanage than to use it for awards

Quintessence44:
So if Soyinka had passed away, you would have opposed the naming of the National Theatre after him?

I mean, your point is senseless.

We have post humous awards aplenty worldwide.

Then let them be alive in that dimension. There's no difference between a dead man and a dead cat or stone in this dimension.

Focus on the living

Quintessence44:
Actually you are wrong.

So called dead people are alive in another dimension.

They are more alive than you.

Why are you worrying about dead people?

Focus on the living! Chinua Achebe has no knowledge of whats going on

Tellmeastory:
The FG must name something big in this country after the legendary Professor Chinua Achebe.

I am a great fan and reader of Wole Soyinka, by the way, so this is not based on any beef with the great Nobel-winning writer, who certainly earned the right to have the National Theatre named after him by President Tinubu.

But we must not put Chinua Achebe, the Booker Prize winning author of Africa’s greatest novel, Things Fall Apart, in the position of the proverbial lizard of his great book who fell from the tall iroko tree, and promised to praise himself if no one else did.

That book is Required Reading in the curricula of schools all over the world, from Kenya to the USA.

It has been translated into over 100 languages worldwide, and remains till date, the biggest selling novel by an African, bringing great honour to Nigeria.

Achebe was also an erudite advocate for good governance and govt accountability.

According to wiki

“Chinua Achebe…. was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel.

Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy".

Later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987).

In the West, Achebe is often referred to as the "father of African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization.“

Gentlemen, we must honour this man.

Supreme Court should not ratify fraudulent elections.

Both INEC and SIEC should be reformed so that results are transmitted in real time and voting is by biometrics. I don't have all the answers but whatever is required to make votes count 100% should be done.

For cost management, INEC and SIEC can use same material like BVAS and IREV

Kobojunkie:
LOL.... So, it is no longer to remove SIEC from State hands but to reform it. Ok, in what way can SIEC be reformed and why would you need the Supreme Court to make that happen?

Not cancel the state electoral commission or INEC but reform both so that credible and transparent elections are guaranteed.

In all honesty, without credible elections, forget development even in a 1000yrs

Kobojunkie:
So should we also cancel INEC because pepple have also complained numerously of election rigging at federal level?

Was this not what was on Frontpage yesterday that a Nigerian woman gave her oyinbo husband?

saveman91:
I love this combo so much expecially in the morning when am about to go to work i will buy N200 moi_moi drink with garri, beside garri sold here 1cup for N200

When the uprising will come soonest, you guys will stop politics and face governance

Sonnobax15:

No be only distraction....

In fact,na refraction and erection

All of a sudden,they now know there's hunger in the land simply because supreme court removed food from their hands

Werey people.

Seems we're talking of two different persons. We're talking of Prof Odinkalu's interview on Channels.

His point is if elections at the local govt are not credible and the outcome always favors the party of governors, then nothing will change.

Bottomline is Nigeria's problem is lack of credible elections(vote don't count) and as such the politicians are not accountable to the people

Kobojunkie:
There is nothing"spot on' about any of what he said as he was merely repeating the same narrow-minded solution that had been fed him by politicians over the years.

Let me put it to you this way. It is utter foolishness to delete/repeal the law in an attempt to resolve an illegallity. What the Governors did was illegal. That is the stance of the Law. Calling for a change in the same laws as a solution is stewpidity.

@* The Constitution does not bestow the right to dip into LG accounts to Governors. This means that a Governor who does so does so against the Law and as such should be penalized for it.
@* The Constitution does not grant Governors right to decide as far as LG elections. This means that all Governors who meddle with elections at the Local or National levels do so against the Constitution. ...

... I can go on but the point is the lack of respect for the Constitution by the people on both sides of this is at the root of this and so many other issues in Nigeria.

You're talking what you don't know

lordm:
Please leave obi alone. He didn't conduct lg elections during his time, so commenting on the issue will not favour him

He is solidly clean thats why he did not play to the gallery

sIfioksq:
Looks like Obi's saintly image isn't as squeaky clean as we thought.

My Igbo women are too wicked. I'm saying this as an Igbo person. Our women own too much

You dont like Jonathan, inspite of all he achieved. You're a wicked person for supporting Tinubu,
the heavyweight champion of incompetence and corruption

EreluRoz:
Peter Obi will be happy wherever he is now. Umahi stop running your mouth there are enemies everywhere. The mess Jonathan and Buhari created is a big one that'll take a while to clear off. It's not easy

To look but not to see!

I can only tell you a better choice but I'll not convince you because you're not immuned from the consequences.

Regarding those people asking Reno questions he responds to especially Igbo people, i still maintained that those questions may have been staged

ajailer:
You folks seems unable to comprehend that unlike you guys, money is not everything to everyone. Respect and honor me first before we can then start talking about money. Not everyone is getting paid for their opinion but the delusion you guys are under is on a grand scale. Respect people for their choice and from there you might be able to buy them over with your argument but NO, you prefer to insult those you can't and don't feed. You guys are incapable of doing this cos your intentions are not genuine enough. What is my own there sha other than to let you guys keep fooling yourselves..... using the same tactics that has been failing you since pre independence and expecting a different result from what you keep getting.

E go shock una.

Watch!

flokii:
They are planning to destabilize the North so they can use it to campaign against PBAT ahead of 2027.. what they fail to realize is that their fellow Northerners will be the ones to skin them and their family members alive.
Other regions are moving forward, they want to use their selfish political agenda to continue killings and terrorism in the North.. we go see how the whole thing go play na.

With LGA autonomy in force now, no 'tin god' like El-rufai can hold people hostage again. The progressives in North will move against their evil plan and with the help of Mr. Preaident, they will suffer shame and disgrace.

Nigeria has gone past the era of using destructive politics to get into power.. this is 2024 not 60s'.. Forward evet, backward never!!

He is not wrong, he is spot on.

Did you watch the interview?

Kobojunkie:
He is wrong! Learn your own Constitution so you can easily spot the issues created by these people you listen to.

This will actually make things worse because number of looters has increased drastically

Validated:
There has been a lot of buzz about LGA autonomy as if it will change anything. The LGA Chairmen are all selected by the State Governors.

Until State Independent Electoral Commissions are scrapped, there will be no autonomy. As long as State governors select LGA chairmen in the name of LG elections, nothing has changed..
By the way, why is the Supreme Court silent on the LCDAs?

Anyway, I can imagine that this is the only achievement by the Tinubu government in the last 1 year plus of monumental disaster. Having plunged the economy into an abysmal state, a Supreme Court Judgement is Worth celebrating in the midst of significant and unprecedented failure.

What makes you think the standard of living would change?

It would be worse and Tinubu would take the blame like fuel subsidy removal

Atuero:
I am a little bit skeptical and confused as regards the way Tinubu supporters have been rejoicing over the supreme Court judgement on the financial Autonomy of the local government in Nigeria which has been existing in the Constitution of the land but neglected over the years.


The question that comes to my mind is since the Judiciary is an independent arm of Government, are they not the body to take the accolades for such courageous and historical judgement?........... those praising Tinubu on the judgement, doesn't it mean He interferes and influences the Judiciary?

I don't think this is part of the responsibility of the executive arm of Government who should be busy making policies and developing strategies that will make life easy for the citizens.

Don't be surprised those people are paid to make it seems like he is responding to genuine questions

Mercenary123:
Why do igbos still engage this clown despite knowing that the more you engage him the worse he becomes

For me, this guy doesn't exist

Shamelessness.

Servitude

Stockholm

helinues:
Okay. Next is to force dailypost to retract this like vanguard did. It was a misquoted statement

Paid group

Celebrating a fake LG autonomy while all indices continue to plummet!

Hehehehe...you just wan kpai yourself for nothing.

obinna58:
I can swear with my life that you’re a lady

Loool. I'm a man

obinna58:
You’re an average wicked Nigerian girl

Really sad.

Hope we implement necessary reforms to prevent future occurrence

There's no greater understanding than experience

obinna58:
No, People need to understand the consequences of their actions

People need to take responsibility their actions.

Thank you consequence!

obinna58:
Your signature said it all

Maybe, maybe not. If he was alone, when he wakes up, that would be a necessary turning point.

obinna58:
Should she have left him to suffer the consequences of his irresponsibility

That guy is an irresponsible guy

obinna58:
This is how you identify women’s true love ❤️, average Nigerian woman will blame/fault him and leave him to dine in his misery
