Farmsolution:
This is long overdue. The state has the resources capacity and manpower to do this if they prioritize their people first ahead of politics. Only mediocres celebrate this kind of achievement. Multiple contactors can solve this challenges within a year, if we are really serious and we put our mind to it. There is still more work to do .

China where the coaches are bought from don't wait for ages to build infrastructure that will make life easy for its citizens. Comparing Lagos with others states in Nigeria is the lowest considered its IGR , population advantage and recent bogus federal allocations .

Lagos should be competing with the whole of multiple state's economy all combined.

But it is well, le t me just comment my reserve before their political hallelujah boys will come out now.

Always quick to criticize others

So true, it does in the lack of basic services and common utilities like pipe borne water despite huge budget growth from forever increasing tax burden on Lagosians.

Do you think it's just unevolved tribalistic mindset that is responsible for our 200 million mumuness, or it is the Stockholm syndrome affliction you talked about two years ago in the thread below

Nigeria is at a crossroads once again. The storm clouds are gathering, and if the nation refuses to act decisively and justly, a second civil war may be inevitable. The exclusion of the South East — the homeland of the Igbo people — from the highest office in the land is pushing Nigeria to the brink. If the Igbo are denied the presidency in 2027, the consequences could be catastrophic. Not just politically, but existentially.


The scars of the 1967–1970 Biafra War have never truly healed. Over 3 million Igbos were killed in a war triggered largely by marginalization, ethnic violence, and the fight for justice and inclusion. Yet, 54 years later, the Igbo people have still never been allowed to produce a democratically elected president of Nigeria.

Despite being one of the three major ethnic groups in the country — alongside the Hausa-Fulani and the Yoruba — the Igbos remain politically sidelined at the national level.

Yoruba presidency: 1999–2007 (Olusegun Obasanjo)

Hausa-Fulani presidency: 2007–2023 (Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Muhammadu Buhari)

South-South (Ijaw): 2010–2015 (Goodluck Jonathan)

South East (Igbo): Never


This systematic exclusion is not just unjust — it is unsustainable.

The South East may be the smallest of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones by land mass, but the Igbo people are one of the most widely spread, industrious, and economically impactful ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Igbos control over 60% of Nigeria’s informal trade and business in major cities — Lagos, Kano, Abuja, and beyond.

The region has some of the highest literacy and school enrollment rates in the country.

Igbo Nigerians lead in the diaspora, sending billions in remittances annually and promoting Nigeria’s image globally.

It is politically dangerous and morally indefensible to keep such a group excluded from the presidency while expecting peace and unity.


The rise of pro-Biafra separatist movements like IPOB is not random — it is a direct reaction to decades of marginalization. When a people feel unheard and unwanted, they seek to leave. IPOB, MASSOB, and others have gained traction because the Nigerian state continues to treat the South East as second-class citizens.

Denying the region the presidency in 2027 will radicalize millions of young Igbos already disillusioned with the country. This will turn agitation into full-blown rebellion. And this time, it won’t just be a political crisis — it could be an armed insurrection.


A nation cannot survive when it is built on selective inclusion. You cannot call for unity while promoting exclusion. Every region in Nigeria must have a sense of belonging. Every major ethnic group must see itself represented in the highest office.

Zoning and rotation have been used to maintain balance — North and South taking turns.

The North has ruled for 14 of the last 24 years.

The South West and South South have had their turns.

It is only just that the South East should take its rightful place in 2027.


If zoning is abandoned now that it's the South East’s turn, it will be seen — rightly — as a deliberate strategy to keep Igbos perpetually excluded. That perception will destroy whatever fragile unity still exists in Nigeria.


Nigeria’s youth — more than 60% of the population — are not blind to ethnic injustice. Many young people from all over Nigeria supported Peter Obi, an Igbo man, in the 2023 election, seeing him as a symbol of hope and change. Despite not winning, the message was clear: the South East has national appeal and leadership capacity.

To deny the region in 2027 is to betray a generation looking for fairness. Youth anger in the South East, if left to boil over, will not be limited to protests. It could evolve into an uncontainable security nightmare for Nigeria.

The first civil war was fought with limited weapons and international awareness. A second civil war will be fought in a 21st-century Nigeria filled with armed non-state actors, widespread internet activism, drone technology, and porous borders. A war today will not stay in the East. It will burn across Nigeria and likely draw in foreign interests.

It is better to give justice and preserve peace than to suppress justice and ignite war.


2027 is a moral test for Nigeria. If equity, justice, and national cohesion still matter, the Igbo people must produce the next president. This is not a threat — it is a warning grounded in history, current reality, and future consequence.

To continue to exclude the Igbos is to choose the path of instability, chaos, and perhaps disintegration.

Let us not wait for another war to realize what could have been prevented with wisdom.

Come and force me to vote your ibo obi

I don’t believe this story. Who bought the devices? Starlink is not like MTN or other telecom companies which sell modems for tens of thousands of Naira. Their devices and subscriptions run into almost a thousand dollars.

Firstly, no one cares what you believe or not.

Is it not same Starlink that Israel and the US were supplying dissidents and Mossad agents embedded within Iran to instigate a violent uprising in Iran?

Same starlink that Elon openly sent to the terrorist Azov brigade in Ukraine ?

APC has no place in Delta, even Okowa will be defeated by NDC candidate.

Regions did not work. They looked like they were working...to the educated minority, but most people lived in poverty. Like my father's village did not get light under regions because they was a tiny village, but under states, they got connected to the grid. My mother's town got a lot of anemites because it was next to a railway line/ along a train track, and there was a station there. THat's why there was a lot of agitation for states back then, or even extra regions.(Today in the North, give an example, you do not have to travel from Gembu to Kaduna to solve a problem in that region, you just go to the state capital, )

Nigerians need to face the fact that saner climes work because of capitalism and allowing companies make a profit, and also because of things like actually fighting corruption, and even paying tax in sufficent amount. Yet what i see here is people thinking that government should give them free stuff morning and afternoon and night, like the communists in the bloc did until they ran out of money and started borrowing, which only made things worse.

But most of us think we have oil money like the Saudis, therefore we must live like the Saudis. Not possible.

Also capitalism is not a form of governance but a rather a ruthless exploitative system.

We should look into National Socialism which Hitler developed and used in transforming Germany to be a country with the best living standards even for today's standards.

China is practicing National Socialism and even Stalin ditched Marxism for his own watered down version of communism with a heavy dose of Hitler's national socialism.

Regions were working it was greed from the SE Politicians fearing the inevitable creation of COR region that saw to them ochestrating a coup and dismantling of the regions.

EmperorIsaac:
The problem is what comes after the revolution!

All revolutions end up benefiting a singular ethnic group.

Cromwell's revolution benefited the Jews most as his anti monarchy campaign was only to open the British isle for Jews to return back after over 400yr ban. Amsterdam Jews bankrolled Cromwell and his so-called Puritan movement and the first thing the Puritans did was to lift the ban on Jews setting foot on the British Isles.

The Puritans continued their madness by attempting to adopt Judaism and Hebrew as both the state religion and lingua Franca but failed by just two votes. After Cromwell's sudden death just 2ys later, and the restoration of the monarchy, the Puritans fled to the continental United States colony and transformed itself to the Evangelical Exceptionalism movement that will later instigate the American war of revolution.

The French revolution benefited Jews who bankrolled it and ended up owning most properties of the aristocrat and their artworks and jewellery which they bought off the Jacobins at pennies on the franc .

The so-called Russian revolution was bankrolled by Jews in Wall Street and was spearheaded by Jews like lenin and Trotsky .

The Jews got a thousand times on their ROI from looting the treasures of the Russian monarchy .

nairalanda1:
Revolution is always a nice word Nigerians use that shows they are running away from their problems. Not actually solving them

Revolutions do not work. China was a broke ass country for decades after their anticapitalist revolution, until they brought in an open market economy, like Japan and South korea did, and the result....prosperity, even if it took time

The soviet union had the appearance of prosperity after their revolution , even though most of the country was living broke ass lives, government spending was going into heavy industries. Eventually they had to resort to borrowing to keep up the facade, and the result...was...breakdown. Today most of the former soviet republics are prosperous than the USSR...even out of the way dictatorships like Turkmenistan...because they all adopted capitalism one way or the other. NO choices.

Nigeria needs to run a true market economy, end subsides on electricty, allow the power sector to set its prices, improve tax uptake and colelction and tax rates, end corruption and borrow at least for a good railway system, and then maybe we would see some changes. Revolution would just end up with another money sharing economy that would deteriorate over time.

We just need to return back to regional assembly .

The centrist system is not and will never work.

truthera:
The indigenous people will decide the kind of government and constitution they want after the revolution….

And who are the so called foreigners and colonialists ?

No talk of a Kwankwasso - obi alliance until after the US Congress being lobbied by I.P.O.B falsely declared Kwankwasso as one of the major sponsors of phantom genocide on Christians .

giringory was backed by Zionist and usury merchant , Larry Ellison in 2023.

The Zionists want to instal Zionist stooges like in all of Europe, Mexico and Argentina in Africa.

Ponder on this.

truthera:
The indigenous people will decide the kind of government and constitution they want after the revolution….

Every revolution eats its children.

Every revolution has at its core an ethnic agenda, See Fulani Islamic revolution that swept away the Hausa kingdoms and had in its place Fulani Caliphate replace it. See the so-called Russian revolution that ended up having Jews strip bare, loot and rape that once great empire under the satanic Soviet empire.

Do your revolution in your SE. God knows you guys need it more than any one else.

cuteboy2:
All this detailed research complete with graphics and infograph on someone who built his wealth legitimately, yet no one can document or even mention one legitimate source of humongous wealth of a sitting president son of a slave woman from Iragbiji, Osun State. Even his true name is uncertain.

He built his wealth legitimately and he was hiding it in shell companies and properties across the globe?

This guy may have been richer than Dongote as at the time of his death, who knows?


Silent billionaires just like my mentor Mr Peter Obi

Just as there are silent dollar billionaires in Anambra who do not want Forbes to publish them.

Pathetic.

sirwilson:
But Bro... This thing is not longer about party, it's about the kind of candidate that is in that party... It was after Obi defected to NDC that I even knew there's a party called NDC... And a lot of people are defecting to NDC right now all because of Obi... So, Obi deserve the ticket freely and unopposed.

From your hero worshipping cult mentality you have spilled this nonsense.

We the rest of sane Nigerians are not hoodwinked by your false and fake messiah.

Naijahero1:
Part of what makes democracy beautiful is the ability to defend your rights. In 2027, Obi won the election but INEC upturned the results and asked Nigerians to go to court. We went to court to realize TInubu's lawyers were writing judgements for judges. It won't happen again.
I want to advise NDC and supporters of Nigerian democracy to learn what countries do. Protest is your legal rights as long as it's not violent. If TInubu rigs again Nigerians shouldn't leave the streets until he is arrested and jailed.

You won't do shit and if you do shit you will end up as shit.

Sore loser

I wonder why some idiotes were hailing this guy and mourning him in death.

An usury merchant and an obvious money launderer is whom some idiotes were idolizing and mourning his death.

All those properties he held in London to whose benefit?

He ripped us off in Nigeria and stashed the loot in tax havens and properties in London.

If Dangote was like all of them, he won't have reached his networth today.

We need just 5 more Dangotes and this country will be fixed.

People like Wigwe remain the problem and he will never be missed from my end.

Obi don dey beg for VP slot

jumobi1:
Career ambassador are recommended by the Ministry of foreign affairs. Presidents rarely know career ambassadors on a personal level. Ambassadors report to both the President and Minister…Career ambassadors especially.

Is FFK a career ambassador?

Also they are not nominated by the Minister but by a selection process based on hierarchy, available slots, federal character, and experience. They have their on career progression which automatically puts them on a list.

The Minister only overseas the day-to-day operations of the embassies and do not in anyway dictate to an ambassador be they career or appointed.

MASTAkiLLAh:

In what way has she represented Kogi central in any possible positive way?

Well you are part of 2k gang that support a a confirm failure as your messiah.

truthera:
Your Zionist and Marxist assumptions are irrelevant to Kanu's message. What matters is the truth, I agree with Nnamdi Kanu..... Nigerians have no other alternative at this point but a revolution if they want to be free.... Only when this happens can all indigenous people come together to create a new constitution if they want to remain together or go their separate ways....

Nothing will change for the better until people rise up to end the contraption....

You guys are a manufactured identity starting with the Ibo Israelism that the British instilled that lie so as to get you guys a better identity and a supremacist attitude in the hopes you will be the ones to be their proxy rulers of Nigeria when they leave.

Every of your collective politicking, identity has been crafted and handed to you by the British Anglo-Zionists.

Your first batch of university educated graduates spent half the time being indoctrinated with Marxist rubbish and that's why they all came back with the Marxist ideology.

That Marxist ideology will give birth to the Zikist movement with Ifeanjuna being a second generation Marxist who was indoctrinated at Ibadan by first generation Ibo Marxist lecturing at that institution.

Even your Ojukwu was a card carrying member of the British Communist Party Oxford student branch and the only thing he got from his supposed education was how to lead a violent communist revolution in Nigeria hence why he joined the army as an NCO in a bid to instigate a rebellion and seize power for himself.

How about Victor Rothschild? We know he sent his thugs by way of one of the Kray Twins to iron things out on how to stage a coup and bring forth a Communist centrist govt which was exactly what Ironsi did with his decree 34 on assuming power.

You don't know this, but every thought process in you is a second hand form of communist/Marxist indoctrination.

I.P.O.B Zionism was chosen to replace Zikist Marxism because Marxism and Communism is not palatable anymore but Zionism is now a big thing among the conquered and occupied western world with all their puppet leaders drooling at the feet of Judas and bowing reverance to the remains of a Roman wall in Jerusalem.
