In your mind and few thinking, people from places like this must be from a particular region or tribe. So shame. Get data, watch the video and hear a full grown man lamenting bitterly about 4 years of a particular administration. Yet you shameless tell us it is rare and hardly ever happens. Again, so so shame.

First of all,You and all of us very well know who you reffered to as "People from places like this" because the context within which you used the sentence says it all.

Don't waste our time arguing it!

Secondly; I urge you to read again from the main post; you'll see places they reminded you that this particular flooding incidence is not a regular occurrence in those communities...

...but we all know it is very very regular in Lagos.

This is not to denigrate our Lagos...because in fact,People of the SouthEast are even more stakeholders... and so more concerned than...even Yorubas in Lagos.

See?

And going by the Vehement outrage of the voice(s) in the video;can't you hear they are in shock,baffled and bewildered?

Those used to such flooding...like Lagosians....do they express such shocked outrage when they see floodings like this?

Bro,Focus on campaigning for a better Lagos and not comparing it's inadequacies with small Igbo Communities

It belittles you,trust me.

Image123:
Skip, skip, skip. It's not Lagos. Lagos government must be taught what to do and how to rule by people from places like this.

I said it!!

Some Petty-minded people Must surely come on this Thread to gloat and display the usual childish tendencies for comparing Lagos with small SouthEastern communities.

To start with; the flooding in this communities hardly even happens...

...this particular incidence is a rare occurrence(You also read it up there)

But the flooding in Lagos is a regular occurrence...heavier,more devastating,causing daily anguish during rainfalls...

Secondly,the "Mega city" status of Lagos and the kind of IGR and Federal allocation pouring into the State should mean that the shame of such Flooding (filled with faeces) is not supposed to be experienced by Lagos residents.

Instead of worrying about this flooding malady of a big "Mega city" like Lagos and help suggest solution,you preffer to take solace that a rare incidence of flooding has happened in a small community in the SouthEast.

Is this what the online "Rivalry" between you and some Igbos have reduced you to?

What a Shame!!

The rate at Which many Nigerians deprecate and dehumanise themselves because if Politics is a marvel..
.
How can anyone use such Vehemence and such straight -facedness to deny that there's no banditry anywhere in Kwara!!

A situation Kwarans are experiencing everyday...

..a fact that eye witness accounts,news reports and on-the-spot coverage of the incidents are testifying to?

What is happening to some politicians?

Tochitee:
Lagos is a no man land ! As said by the agulu clowns and his minors, we will continue asking them, and domesticate them accordingly!

Stop deceiving Yourself...

This is obviously a fake news/story!!

It is an AI-generated old newspaper clip.

It is the latest invention of BATists and Lagos APCists to rewrite and revision history for the purpose of pushing their mischievous agenda.

How can a Federal millitary appointee of a pan Nigerian Northern Oligarchs make such a statement...about the then Federal Capital Territory.

Was he elected by anyone?

Who told you Nigerians of the 60s and 70s or even 80s and 90s were quarrelling about the status of Lagos

This fake old newspaper clip is pure lie.

Everyone should beware of this new trend of fake AI-generated old newspaper clips.

It's dangerous.

Burob:
Show us their debt profile, shame done catch u, so so nosie ordinary internal generated revenue south east is failing woefully.

U are looking 👀 for excuse for your failure abi?

Lagos this, Lagos that, na una get Lagos State, but your own region, nothing to show for all your chest beating.

I don't get it...

Why do some of you sheepishly always compare SouthEast with Lagos?

What happened to Comparing....say..Oyo with Enugu or Osun with Imo or Ekiti With Ebonyi..

Why are some of you fond of throwing up Lagos to go and compete with Igboland....What happened to your own individual states?

Una no get Shame?

Learn to be comparing SouthWest(Oyo,Osun,Ogun,Ondo and Ekiti) With SouthEast(Anambra,Imo,Enugu,Abia and Ebonyi)...leave Lagos out of it.

Don't be afraid...

Lagos is our former FCT and our commercial capital...it already has a head start ahead of any state in Nigeria so stop Deceiving yourselves!!

By the way,people from even the SouthEast are about the major essence of Lagos(they make Lagos what it truly is)

This truth may pain you but it is what it is!

However,southEast is Just a collection of five(5) small states...it is not SouthAfrica or Japan...

So what makes you enjoy comparing it with only Lagos(of all other Nigerian regions).

Truly,Igbos no bi your mate.

agadez007:
When they are not scamming white people,they are snatching wives
And you want us to call these kind of people “Our Fathers”?

Don't mind them...

It's because they Desperately needs undeserved respect from a certain tribe that's why they grandstand a lot...

..they should know that respect is Earned..not forced.

Imagine the kinds of Characters they Elect or choose as tradittional or Political leaders; Scammers,Drug Lords,Adulterers,Lascivious touts,etc.

E good?

They can and should do better than this.

They should have virtues and characters that are examplary and Do things and say things that'll attract respect and admiration to themselves.

LagosG:
We truly love bad news. Check a thread that is supposed to make you feel good about yourself, your tribe or your country as a whole, children born of hate will find a way to take it all away. The only see the bad

It's you that's trying to derail the thread..

You're letting others Control how you feel...

...be Emotionally intelligent and mature...

....that way you won't see others as "Children of hate" just because they disagree Politically with you..

Anyways,Enjoy the thread,go on and agree with Reno.

"May Nigeria happen to you"

koladata:
I'm tall, and for some weird reasons I'm attracted to short ladies, never met with a dwarf but I kind of like them from a distance. If I'm close to one I might fall in love.

Actually...

You're suffering from;

PsychedelicosomnousLasopharyngial...

Oh my lot!!!!

After all the great works Peter Obi did in his tenure in Anambra hé still amassed and left close to N500billion(in today's nairas) for the next Governor.

He did not allow his commissioners,Lawmakers or contractors to engage in unnecessary Profligacy,corruption and wastages...like Wike using N39billion to repaint and add little furnishings to a conference Centre.

But Anambra politicians got frustrated and impeached him.(Hope NASS won't impeach him in 2029).

He came back again as governor,maintaining and forcing every civil servant and politician to endure financial discipline and avoid unnecessary wastages.

They said "Ah,this man! You never learn?!"

They plotted and impeached him again.

He went to court again,won and came back again as Governor untill he finished his tenure and lived happily ever after.

Now, his political antecedent is about to repeat itself at the National level...

..will Nigerian politicians and Nigerians themselves agree with his leadership that Corruption,wastages and hero-worshipping of money and materialism must end for Nigeria to breath?!!

Abdul05:
'Oh, So you just heard it? We have been saying it since bro, Tinubu planted the seed and now the metro is the fruit.

Tinubu planted which seed??

It was Fashola Who conceived and initiated the Lagos MetroLine project.

Every Lagos resident is happy with the project...afterall the money for the project came from Taxes paid by residents & Businesses in Lagos and from the oil money of the 9 oil producing states of Nigeria.

Nowhere else.

It is when BATists and APCists try to give Tinubu the Credits for the Project that it looks like some persons don't appreciate the MetroLine.

It's not Tinubu's nor Anyone's

Ttalk:
You beg for 2 Niger bridge
Beg for port in a shallow river
Beg for Biafra
Beg for the 6th state
Beg for presidency
And still beg for not participating in the Primary

Haba! Begi begi

Okay, they shouldn't "beg" right?

They should do it by "force","violence" and "bullying"?

I thought you often accused them of being "too proud","too insultive" uncouth and "too bullish"

Now they've changed Strategy you're still wailling?

Why do every of their move rattle you?

Kushites:
I’m still wondering when Igbos began to see drug trafficking as the way to get rich.

Even in the 90s and early 2000s there weren’t like this. Back then it was Bini boys and Yoruba guys that used to be caught with drugs - occasionally - and even disgraced publicly by the govt, especially the military regimes.

Yoruba and Bini are still very very much into it...

Yoruba dominate the Middle-East and Africa drug route.

Edo boys Europe and SouthAmerica.

The juju of Yoruba and Bini are powerful.

The Igbo chaps either don't use juju or theirs don't work.

Hausas and other Nigerian tribes are equally into the drug trade, mind you.

News about the illicit drug trade involving Igbo names tends to be bigger news and generate more views and engagements in the Media...especially social media...than others.

And those with hiden or open political agenda...or Ethnic bigotry...just loves to be pushing any news they believe could "smear" the image of those they don't like

Ttalk:
We will expose the hypocrisy of the Obidients, try as much as you can to derail the discussion I will always drag you back.

How disgraceful it sounds to see that the Obi you are marketing don't have a worthy campaign project that his party and tribesman can use to campaign.

Heey stop this much Ado about nothing!!

Too much busy-body and chochocho soon makes a person say or do something foolish!!

Peter Obi's achievements was his personal thing and that of his then Party; APGA!

Why should Moghalu use Peter Obi's achievements to campaign,is he running under APGA?

Was it his own personal (CVs) achievements?

Moghalu can only use his own personal track records from previous work experience(s) to campaign,not someone's.

Get that.

Now that Ikoyi-lekki bridge is not being used by Moghalu for campaigns.

If it appeared so to you,then..

..then something is wrong with your understanding of the meaning of "Campaigns"

He is only using it...like most of us do..for Aesthetics in our messages and contents..just as many use it as screen savers and wall papers.

Why do lovers of Aesthetics love the picture?

Because of the aquatic splendour of it's background...and the photogenity of the picture.

The picturesque effects of the bridge is the only reason Moghalu is using the photo for his messages.

Are there no Beautiful landmarks or picturesque sceneries in Anambra he could have used?

Hundreds of them abound.

Even the 1st and 2nd Niger bridges at Onitsha beat the Ikoyi-lekki bridge in picturesque beauty but Moghalu used the immediately available material.

In any case,his digital media handller is a Young Lagos boy who thought nothing of this!!

By the way,that Ikoyi-Lekki bridge....situated in Lagos...Nigeria's former FCT...a city where all Nigerians are equal citizens ...was initiated and built by Fashola...from the monies paid by residents and businesses as taxes...and from the monies generated from the 9 oil-producing states of Nigeria.

Na all Nigerians money build that bridge and all other bridges all over Nigeria...including the beautiful 2nd Niger Bridge at Onitsha.

It is not Tinubu's or your personal property.

Hope you rest now.

JASONjnr:
Only God knows where this country is heading.....

Insecurity in the east is not talked about as those in the North and SouthalWest.... Are they supporting these crimes or what?

Comments like this...resembling those Reno Omokri often parrot about...baffles me.

Are you saying that SouthEasterners don't talk about the Kidnappings by Fulani Herdsmen or locals in their region?They don't talk about the activities of (Un)Known gunmen?Armed robbers?Or assassins?

If they dont ,how do they raise the alarm and create awareness so that the Federal government can live up to their responsibilities?

Why do you think they should stay silent and be destroyed by insecurities?

How does such thoughts and suppositions ever make sense to you?

No persons with fully functional brains should think like this...except the person just wants to be mischievous not minding if they appear silly or not.

And how did you get on-the-spot account and pictures above?

Was it a non-Igbo that reported it from source?

Make una dey respect una age sometimes,abeg

helinues:
Why is Sowore picking fight with everyone? What is he intend to achieve with such behavior.

Oga stop being a Supporter and an Enabler of crimes,corruption and impunity in Nigeria!!

Where is your conscience and morals and sense of good judgement.

Just because a morally-decrepit character like Wike is being used by the President... who's your Kinsman.. should not mean you shouldn't call a spade by it's name.

Supporting such characters is why Nigeria is where it is today.

We won't allow that.

Burob:
Well shame on you, wey no contribute anything.

Very unwise comment...

Don't you know that almost all the over 200 million Nigerians contributed to this money?

As long as anyone buys and consumes goods and services...do money transfers...is an Employee or Employer,most of all that money is our taxes.

The rest are from resources in our lands...

...not from the Land of the President.

Can you see His contributions now.

Be wise going forward

This is pure Vendetta against those who do not support Okpebholo...especially PDP People.

If not... is this how to fight Cultism?

I thought suspected or known cultists should be discreetly investigated,incontrovertible proofs and evidence gathered against them,then prosecuted and sent to prison,then the houses can now be confiscated and converted to other uses?.

But the Governor thought otherwise.

He's not mindful of what becomes of him when he's no longer in power.

casualobserver:
its actually PDP that introduced thuggery to Lagos politics Many of you were not alive or too young in 1999/2003.

Educate us bro.

We were "too young" then.

At what point did PDP use their influence...as State government... to recruit organised Political thugs working as NURTW

Please try and Educate we "the Young"

gasparpisciotta:
It can never be Okoya.

The looks definitely have them away

Look closely.

The one without beards.

He's the Okoya.

Kingosytex:
The idiot is in for a very long ride. He is as good as dead.
What pains me is the whataboutism of my Igbo brothers and sisters. Many are condemning his arrest saying that those in the north haven't been arrested.

They are okay with Gentle turning the East into another killing field just because Boko Haram are doing same up north

Which Igbos are "Condemning" his Arrest?

You don't know "your Igbo brothers"!

If you know them well,you'll know that almost ALL Igbos hate Gentle de Yahoo and Simon Ekpa.

Only a few Igbos (not more than 8,000 of them out of over 60 million) are supporters of Gentle & Ekpa's Auto-pilot faction.(And they're only mostly online).

So except you are the type who enjoys controversial talk-talk and mischief,you ought to know that Igbos are not happy with the destructive activities of the likes of Gentle and Ekpa.

Don't gaslight anyone for fun.

RealityKings1:
Since he will be gone for 3 years, he ought not be replaced. He is still alive.
When the sentence is finished, he'll come back

What the f...?!!

You mean his subjects will accept him back?

What kind of people are those?

Felabrity:
Apc and lies

Even yarimo no fit believe this crap

You're right bro.

This is obviously a lie and a campaign propaganda!!

Yarimo is a case study in Political fanaticism but you see this piece of news...

...something in him will rebel against this one even if he tactically appears not to show it.

Peterobiisathie:
My brothers from the other side of River Niger never disappoint

Thank God you know they are "Your brothers from the other side of River Niger"

Your brothers in Crime.

When they left their villages and came to Lagos to hustle many years ago,Some of them where lured by your people and introduced to this illicit trade.

Your people later choosed a route they are more comfortable with; the Saudi-Arabia and middle-East and Brazilian route!!

All the published names of culprits from these routes are your people.

Google it and see

You all know this but choose the reverse Psychology tactics to divert attention and push a cancel-culture narratives on "Your brothers"!!

Be shaming for yourselves sometimes.

Are you sure bitter and Vengefull family members of the deceased are not at work here?

The abuse she's alleged to have suffered was never an issue but her death necessitated the need to highlight those abuses.

Na the death dey pain Dem.(Supposedly so)

Because infidelity of husbands in marriages..
..though not advisable.. is commonplace in the African society and most African Women has learned to cope with it(At least it's better than bringing in a second wife wey go come show her pepper).

This victim coped with it like others and was travelling abroad to improve herself and distract herself from the Experience(s)

Unfortunately she fell sick and died?

Why trying to send the Young man to jail when he's not the Murderer?

If he abused her,it's wrong.Very wrong.

But he didn't kill her

LegendHero:
If any Fulani today proclaim himself as Emir of Lagos, he go see shege just like this.

Even all the Sarkin Hausa/Fulani in Lagos are not troublemakers, they don’t even go around condemning Lagos and wishing her downfall. Na only one group dey do all these things and we self don sabi how to treat them.

Much Ado about nothing!!

This is incident did not happen.

Let's assume...without conceeding..that it happened,why making a fuss out of it?

Do these ones look like threats to Yorubas?

A whole Yorubas?

Do these ones look like the real illustrious Igbos that Serious-minded Yorubas should worry about?

Na wao!!

No bi Pettiness bi dis? Caused by Political desperation?

Some mischief makers are out there pushing this misinformation for the purposes of Dividing Nigerians because of politics,and you're getting worked up about it!!

You people should stop rambling and prattling over inconsequential things.

You particularly

You're a grown man o

zero8zero:
How is it that you became poor and broke after the civil war but Ojukwu who was the architect of the war was not broke after the war? 🤣🤣🤣
You can't be distributing wealth and 90% of your people are running away in night buses to other region to survive 🤣, barren region.

Someone who is an IDP in Enugu & Ebonyi is talking about insecurity in another man's region, the joke is on you

You're so Ignorant and so classless!

Oga travel and see!

In the entire Nigeria,Only Lagos and Abuja competes with the cities,towns and suburbs in the SouthEast in terms of structural and infrastructural Development,commerce,industrialisation and Economic activities.

Travel and see.

Apart from the headquarters of some Banks and multi-nationals and the bursting port activities in Lagos,Onitsha is better developed and more commercialised than Lagos!

Travel and see or ask your people who have travelled.

The overexagerated stories you hear about insecurity in the SouthEast happens only in one LGA area in Imo state;

Ask people who shuttles daily to the SouthEast

That the Enterprising Igbo travels all over the World to set up businesses like the Chinese,Lebanese and Indians should not be misinterpreted to mean that their regions are suffering.

Show you're not ignorant.

zero8zero:
Ipob, is this you 🤣🤣. How can distributing wealth stops you from becoming a billionaire?. How much do you settle the boy you picked up from the village to serve you like a slave after how many years of serving you?. How much do you settle these boys after serving you that will reduce your wealth? 🤣🤣. Abeg shift.
Any system does not focus on Education or self development is not distributing wealth.

I said there aren't Dollar billionaire of Igbo extraction because their head start as rich Businessmen in Nigeria was cut short by the Pogrom and civil war that destroyed and stole their wealth!

The second reason is that...after the civil war,they immediately did not have any government apparachits and patronage to easily become dollar billionaires like Dangote,Etc.

Got it?

Anyways,I think it's narrow-minded of you to assume that every opposition to APC's Presidency is IPOB!

Bandits,kidnappers and Herdsmen are killing and torturing your people in Kwara and Kogi,Ogun and Ondo But you turn a blind eye to that and focused on calling everyone IPOB.

IPOB is fighting the structural imbalance of the country,the injustices and the menace of Fulani herdsmen...the best way they feel the country will hear.

I don't support Violence of any kind and may not like certain things they've said or alledged to have done,but they have the right to self-determination...like Igboho's Yoruba Nation and the OPC!

Not understanding these things and hurling careless words about belittles you!!

Take note

Again I said something that other Black African Ethnic groups should learn from;

There are about 20 million Igbos who're already billionaires..in Naira... while majority of others are multi-millionaires in hundreds of millions and others in tens of millions?

Their unique empowerment culture made this so!!

Being a Dollar billionaire is not of any use to anyone if it doesn't benefit the majority of their people.

flokii:
Hardened criminals.. they are the ones stealing car parts, selling fufu to unsuspecting victims in Computer Village, mixing fake drinks damaging the livers and kidneys of innocent Nigerians all in their quest to make quick money.
Wicked souls.

It's actually your people who are engaging in these things at Computer village;they have no shops,no working capitals and are just roaming around robbing and fleecing people.

You know these but choose to pretend and call the innocent ones"Wicked souls"

You'll receive your judgement one day.

And again...you conveniently forgot that the Biggest Fraudsters in the world are people from your ethnic group!!

Even an Ọbá Has been convicted and jailed in the US apart from the famous ones we know.

The UK govt recently released a list of Wanted Fraudsters and...remarkably..all the names are from your region!!

And as for drug trafficking,the route mostly used by your people are Saudi Arabia and the entire middle-Eatern routes...You know these,but instead of addressing the whole issue of crime generally,you elect to try and smear a particular ethnic group....

...because they "intimidate" you.

Shame.

zero8zero:
One funny thing about ipob is their lies and they lie and chestbeat at the same time yet no official records validates any of their claims. A man and a journalist had a beer parlour gist over a bottle of beer about igbos being the highest billionaires yet till date, none have appeared in Forbes top list.

Listen to this...

...out of a total population of about 65 million Igbos...

....over 20% are Billionaires...but not in dollars!

Millions of them are Billionaires in Naira,not in dollars!

This is because,going by the Self-made nature of this Igbo billionaires...who were Unsupported by the corrupt Nigerian system...like the system supported Dangote and etc,.And Having been set back by the Civil war which suddenly destroyed and stole all their riches,to reach the dollar billionaire mark by now is a challenge...

... but wetin Dem wan really take am do?

Afterall, the Igbo Billionaires are Compelled by an Igbo "Nwaboyi"Culture which forces them to distribute and empower other Igbos with their money,expertise,experience,contacts and even clients and customers.

One wealthy Igbo must...must..teach hundreds of other Igbos his business for seven years,then settle them with almost half of the worth of his business.

How can you easily be a dollar billionaire when you have wealth to distribute

What sense does it make when two or three(2or3 only) Yorubas or Hausas are Dollar billionaires but 150 million others are in abject poverty.

These mentality of chasing shadows and leaving substance is what baffles Igbos about some of una;(no bi say Igbos dey arrogant or something)
