Everybody is just cutting Igbos to size

You wish...

You really wish Igbos are "Cut to size"

Because they Tower too high above you so much that you feel dwarfed and and down-trodden.

Sorry bro.Get over it.

You have a right to fear being "Dominated" by them...

...but nobody fit "Cut them to size"...

Stop wishing

gidgiddy:
I dont blame Deji Adeyanju, he finally realised that protesting for a better Nigeria is a waste of time he has been pursuing

Nope...

The truth is that he's now fully a supporter of Tinubu.

No more Pretences.No more hiding it.

His brother...same Father and mother ...is an appointee of Tinubu by the way...

...a juicy post by the way.

That and other factors have softened Adeyanju towards Tinubu

Peter Obi plans to kickstart the necessary policies and create the Enabling environment for at least 5,000,000(five million) new Manufacturers;

Tinubu and all other normal Nigerian Leaders may...or may not... have this same wishes or ideas; to turn Nigeria from Consumption to Production...

But something about their Nature makes this intention..if any...almost impossible;

Their culture of Profligacy,Corruption and materialism...and their taste for foreign products,goods and services...

...their tendency to appoint half-baked Ministers and DGs of ministries and Departments... due to Nepotism,Tribalism or for Political rewards...

...their mediocrity in planning and Execution...

...all combine to forestall any intention any average Nigerian Leader may have to Industrialised Nigeria.

Peter Obi is different.

Beware! Peter Obi is different in Character and Capacity and determination more than your average Nigerian Leader.

You have a right to disagree....for reasons best known to you...

....but you need to be reminded!

No two persons are the same!

Obi's character,tendencies,abilities,philosophies,passions,strength,sense of determination,age and fitness levels are different from Tinubu's.

Take it or leave it.

Peter Obi Did not speak against Defections...

He only said that the Defections in the SouthEast does not mean APC has captured the region...

So why this desperate rush to deliberately misquote and misinterpret and try to attack him from nowhere?

To what end?

Is the Lagos APC spokeman trying to use Peter Obi to shine or what?

brain54:
Nigeria has a strong chance to qualify through the playoffs...


Or maybe not. (Because they can disappoint when you expect them to deliver)

I have seen some countries mocking Nigeria on SM. 2 in particular I won't mention names. Just the usual culprits.

I wonder how they would be forced to eat their words in shame if Nigeria qualifies through the playoffs and ends up beating their team or even sending their teams home in the knock out rounds.

It go sweet my belle eh. Sweet revenge.

Nigeria Still has a strong chance/hope of qualifying on a good day Sha if they can get their act in order!

Nigeria will Qualify....

Worry not.

I saw a new wave of raw determination in the eyes of each and everyone of the Nigerian players...

Whenever Nigeria(ns) get that look in their eyes,there's nothing they can't do!

I saw that look in our girls when they were 2 goals down... at about 65mins to go... in front of the hostile home crowd of the tricky Moroccans.

The same Ghanians and SouthAfricans were mocking us...the SuperSport SA Presenters were not hiding it

So pay no mind to them; Ghanians and South Africans...

Shame will be their lot las las

For me... It's makinde... Funny enough I am Igbo and an Obidient...

Give honour to whom it is due

3. Otti

APC may not be your favourite party(Same as me) but are you now discountenancing Peter Mbah's successes because he joined APC?

As an "Igbo" You should have known of Peter Mbah's great doings within just two years...

Peter Mbah has done far more than at least 4 Governor's in that list...including Okpebholo!

SadiqBabaSani:
How much does this data boys get when they open irrelevant thread like this

They now use AI Technology to Doctor fake Newspaper stories for the purpose of Spreading their agenda.

It's a new concept .

Everyone needs to be alert

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Stop crying.

Devote more time to making your region habitable and attractive to others like Lagos people did.

Stop seeing Lagos as Heaven.

If you are knowledgeable enough you'll know that....apart from Lagos...the SouthEast is far more developed than the rest of the SouthWest..

...Lagos is the only state/Place in the SouthWest you can compare to Igboland...

...that's why your people always...cunningly and conveniently.. throw up only Lagos as the only competitor to the SouthEast..

Why're you guys always shying away from throwing up your own state of origin of Oyo,Ekiti,Osun and Etc?,

Leave Lagos to the indegenous owners.

They've protested recently about this.

Stop neglecting your own state because of Lagos(Where you have no stake whatsoever)

Lagos is Nigeria's former FCT and our country's commercial capital....

It is developed from the monies accrued from the Oil in Igboland(Imo,Abia,Anambra,Delta and Rivers) and the Akwa-Ibom,Ondo,Cross Rivers and Bayelsa.

Lagos has no revenue-yielding Natural resources...by itself...for now.

But most importantly,Lagos generate money for developement from the monies accruing from the yearly Taxes of over 11 million Igbo Businessmen and women...(Businesses of other Tribes like Yorubas,Hausas,etc also contribute to the developement of Lagos,but taxes by Igbos are far larger than others)

So when you ramble off your comparisons between the SouthEast and Lagos,remember this truth and shut up.

Abdul05:
Many may not like Umahi's words,but truth is bitter...

There is nothing wrong in patience and planning..Every region took time to build truth before getting power.


I believe if the igbo works with others not against them.one day they will get there..

So you don't know that Igbos have been working with others since the history of Nigeria...

In recent history; they abandoned Ojukwu and Worked to Produce Obasanjo...(Infact Ekwueme,the founder of PDP surrendered the party for Obasanjo)

..They abandoned Ogbonnaya Ọnụ,Ume-Ezeoke,Chuba Okadigbo,etc and Worked to Produce Yar'adua...

Jonathan used Igbos(Even appropriated the name Azikiwe to his names) and the Igbos broke their arms and limbs to work to produce him...twice.

In the past,Igbos abandoned Zik in 1979 and through Alex Ekwueme,Igbos worked with the North to defeat Awo so that Shagari will be President!

When Nigeria became a Republic,Igbos through Zik,have always worked with the North to produce Balewa,etc.

When will others...especially the North.. pay Igbos back for all their support?

Bet you didn't know all these before

tunjijones:
Why must it always be a particular tribe.

Read the post in full and see mostly your brothers there.

Smitaro100:
One tribe must always represent.. sure odd, if U know U know.

You wish

Did you read the full post at all?

You would have read that all your brothers from your region are Equally guilty and were all arrested.

The middle-East route is exclusively your brothers...

Anyways,that "one tribe" came to your region and learnt it from you the masters.

From now any media reportage about this illicit trade will have to stop mentioning the names of only "one tribe" when the others are worse.

LeoThaGreat:
In Britain, the council will sue you to pay them for demolishing your illegal structure. If Lagos State government doesn't adopt this method quickly, its detractors will continue building where they shouldn't have, and will start running media campaigns to claim persecution, then hate-filled and envious people with zero idea of how governance works will ignorantly ask "Who approved the building?" as if Lagos State Building Control Agency doesn't mark illegal buildings with red paint 3 times before it's completion.

There are many people still buying and building houses at Peace Estate in Gbagada, Lagos when the buildings under and close to the powerline has been clearly marked for demolition by LASBA multiple times over the years. When the State government comes to implement it, idiots like Mrs. Kingsley Moghalu and her intellectual kin-folk will start saying rubbish like "Invest in Lagos at your own peril". FYI: Illegal structures are nuisances, not an investment. If it is permitted in whatever jungle you're from, never for a second imagine such will be permitted in Lagos. Remember you migrated to the SW for greener pastures because nobody leaves a better place for a jungle, it's always the other way round.

Pay your Surveyors and Lawyers before buying a property

The rate at which bigotry has eaten deep into the intellectual and moral fabrics of some of you is baffling.

Anyway,let me refresh those fabrics with a reminder;

Remember that the meaning of "greener pastures" by an Igbo is simply Identifying a need in a Place(City or Jungle) and quickly strive to meet that need...and make money from his products or services or expertise...

...just like the Chinese,Americans,Indians,Lebanese,Europeans,

In fact it is in "Jungles" that plenty of needs are begging to be met.

The nature of the Igbo is to go to the "Jungle"...Especially Lagos...and hustle...and not to Stay back or go to "City" where relaxation and enjoyment is more Likely.

Remember the popular urban myth" Anywhere you go in this World,you no see Igbo,run"!

Anywhere..not only Lagos.

Igbos did not come to Lagos "to count bridges" or because it's better than Onitsha or Aba or Enugu...

They came to hustle and return home.

Lagos is still a "jungle" For hustlers...remember This.

So it smirks of knowledge-deficit for you not to know that(Apart from Lagos in the SW) the SouthEast is a far far more Urbanised and developed Region that the rest of the SouthWest.

Statistics from#Statisense can even help you.

So do not let the Emotions of Ethnic Chauvinism mislead you into thinking that the SouthEast is a "jungle".

Lagos is actually the jungle

If na this our wailing people, they would have been crying bitter of how they are jealous of them and how they are targeting them. Awon oniranu

This comment of yours is Exactly what the Lagos State government What from people like You...

It is Damage control..

They want People to think that the Target is not Wealthy Igbo Investors...

In any case, Ola of Lagos case is a more serious case; He's obviously situated under High Tension wire..and we can see the Photos before the so-called Demolition.

But in the case of the Trade Fair People,we didn't see the structures on any Drainage channels...

So Lagos State govt recanted and now said; "It's because the Igbos had no building "Approvals"...

..but the Igbos had Approvals.

See?

By the way where is the pictures of the Demolished Ola of Lagos' Building?

LegendHero:
Another Northerner.

Tinubu why? Why are you marginalizing the Yoruba people.

No Yoruba man has been appointed INEC chairman ever. This is so sad.

Kikikikiki....

Very funny.

Don't delude yourself.

Aregbesola's boys in the SouthWest will counter any rigging plans....

The "OBIdient Marshals" are positioned at every single polling units Nationwide...(174,000 units or so) 15 "Vigilantes" per polling Units...

El-Rufai's Anti-rigging millitias are everywhere in the farthest North; same with Atiku's,etc.

Do not take joy in the secret hope of rigging!!

Opposition are not smiling.

Beware !!

truthera:
Hmmm so 2027 rigging program has official been activated. Amupitan is a yoruba man from Kogi state appointed by Tinubu the president another yoruba man, participating in the next presidential election.... exposed of submitting fraudulent documents in the last electon?

How Im wan take rig am?

All hands are on deck preparing and waiting and watching.

Aregbesola and his thousands of Agents are in the SouthWest countering and infiltrating the "ringing machinery" of Tinubu(That's why the Lagos NURTW chairman cried out recently)

El-Rufai,Atiku,Tambuwal,etc in the North are sending out thousands of Agents to mount sentry.

What about the OBIdients...

They are the first to start a fearsome anti-rigging programe; They are recruiting 15 "Vigilantes" in each polling units Nationwide...called the OBIdient Marshals...

..and Peter Obi has instructed every OBIdient to "Count" any INEC Staff or corper who dared to rig.

Tinubu can not successfully rig out the opposition this time.

Stop giving BATists false hope

APCNig:
It will always be them. What a people

Do you understand what you're replying to at all?

Or is the sickness of Igbophobia now taking its toll on you?

The Igbo guy is saying that...in business..being a middleman or an agent or a broker is a profitable occupation... by which Igbos make a living...in China(Where the Igbos in China act as agent or middlemen between the manufacturer and the distributor/seller of the products in Nigeria/Africa...while taking their own cuts.

Many Igbos "Japan" to China only for this purpose (to be a company's agent for a specific product for Nigeria and other African countries).

He's saying that Verydarkman now wants to directly link buyers (You and I) to the Chinese manufacturers in China if...for example...we want to buy a phone or a #lontor solar fan.

Do you get it?

Now respond properly

helinues:
Only if the real culprits are the one arrested

No bi lie...

Sometimes the Nigerian security agencies will simply put up a show..

...so that it looks like they are on top of their game...

..especially if the case is a high profile case...

But I personally believe them on this one.

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.

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.

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.

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?
