These people are doing all these because this man is Igbo. How many of the people who threatened other nationalities was called for question? How many of the people who killed and inflicted injury on innocent people was arrested? How many people who went around burning Igbo businesses was apprehended to face the law? This man made the statement he made because of the attacks his people received during and after election. We should know that there can never be sustainable peace when we take pleasure in selective judgment.

With all this glaring and conspicuous evidence coming out and proving gross fraud and unimaginable irregularities in the presidential election, Tinubu must not be sworn in as president if Nigeria must remain a respected nation. Some few selfish individuals with their clique cannot foist an undesirable person as president to a population of over 200 million.

franchasofficia:
The truth is, beautiful and ugly people are found everywhere just as we have rich and poor in all tribes and races too, but the bitter truth is that due to genetic factors, some race or tribe are more physically endowed than others.



Can you compare the Chinese with Arabs when it comes to physical beauty? No. But still, we have beautiful people among Chinese but in generality, Arabs have far more good looking people than Chinese. Even among the Asians with almost similar gene, The Filipinos look far cuter than other Asians like Chinese. Same with Malaysians, etc.



So yes there are beautiful and handsome people in Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, Fulani, Idoma, Bini, Ijaw, etc tribes but there seems to be far more handsome and beautiful looking people among the Igbos than other tribes, these things has to do with genetics, cultural practice, food, etc.



If you check the Igbos very well, they eat vegetables and leafy foods a lot, it forms majority of their diet, and couple with other genetic factors which could be the reason they produce more good looking people than other tribes.


If you check Yoruba food menu, they enjoy oily foods and plenty oil in their meal, coupled with meat. The result of this is that Yoruba women usually have fleshy buttocks because the excess fat from their oil rich diets gets stored around their bombom. Same cultural diet make Fulanis and Hausas very slim and slender with pretty cheeky face.



Dear pretty Miss op, don't let it disturb you, it is a natural human nature to engage in fallacy of hasty generalizations based on some facts. But I tell you, Yoruba men and other tribes men know this and that is part of the reason they try so much to marry an Igbo lady as a wife when they become financially successful, mostly to have good looking children.



If you check on Nairaland, due to the fact that majority of drug trafficking cases in Asia we read here ends up being Igbos, anytime you hear that someone was caught with drugs, the first thing you would assume is that the person must be Igbo. Same way, once we hear a drug trafficking case in Saudi Arabia, we conclude it must be a Yoruba Muslim or an Hausa-Fulani person, and when we hear a ritualist news, we first assume it happened in Ogun or Oyo state.




The world live by generation fallacies

Watch and see, this pure TRUTH you just stated here will be attacked by some people who hate the TRUTH and are always happy to wallow in lies even when they know the TRUTH.

Tinubuderanged:
why not? When did your brain start working?
If Muslim Muslim ticket is good why not Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim?

Leave them with their hypocrisy. When you support injustice because you think it does not affect you, sooner or later you will become the victim.

Skyview01:


Obi worked against PDP to give Tinubu victory. I believe you of all people should know that .

Shut up! Tinubu did not have any victory. Obi won him hands down. Tinubu thinks he can dubiously get everything in this life, but he should know that God is bigger than him.

Kikeslayer2:
In the north, the results were spread between two northerners and a southern candidate .

In the middle belt , their last hope did well in some states and even won Plateau.

In Lagos, their candidate triumphed over the god father of Lagos politics. In Osun, a northerner won and had a good showing in places like Oyo and Ondo.

In the SS, the votes were evenly spread with Atiku (a northerner) wining Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom and having significant votes in other states. Even Tinubu did well despite the deep apathy towards his party the APC. Obi won Cross River .

But over in the SE, Obi won by a resounding 97% margin.

But to these people, Nigerians are tribal bigots for not replicating SE margin across board.

Who really is the intolerant tribal bigot if not these same cretins ?

You guys are the real hypocrites and tribal bigots. When Igbos abandoned Ojukwu and voted for a South Westerner, Obasanjo in the 2003 presidential election, they were not bigots. When Igbos voted for a northerner Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, they were not bigots. When Igbos voted for a South Southerner in the person of GEJ, they were not bigots. When they voted en mass for Atiku, another northerner, they were not bigots. But, this time around somebody who happened to be the most qualified among the presidential candidates happened to be Igbo and they decided to vote for him, now they are considered bigots. It's either you guys have short memories or you are a bunch of degenerated hypocrite.

The Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami, has been accused by the House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the sale of 48 million barrels of crude oil, amounting to over $2.4 billion and crude oil export to China from 2014 to date, of paying $200 million as consultancy fees in whistleblower recoveries.

The allegation was made by Chairman of the committee, Mark Gbillah, at the resumed public hearing on the case. Malami and the Minister of Finance, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, were accused of not cooperating with the committee, failing to answer to issues arising from the crude sales, despite letters of invitation sent to them.

Gbillah who expressed dissatisfaction with the conduct of the two public officers, appealed to them to appear before the committee or risk being arrested.

Gbillah said;
“We have not been getting any form of cooperation from the Ministry of Finance and Attorney General’s office regarding this investigation, despite a series of correspondents sent to them on this matter we are investigating.

”We’ve seen documentation from the Accountant General’s office, where the minister of finance approved the payment of the substantial amount of money to so-called whistle-blowers where details of monies recovered were not provided.

“’We’ve heard media reports by the Federal Government indicating that millions of dollars were recovered through whistle-blower revelations on behalf of the country, but we as a parliament have not seen that those monies were routed through the constitutional appropriation process before they were expended. The constitution is very clear about the receipt and expenditure of Nigeria’s money.

“We’ve looked at the functions of the Attorney General’s office and we’ve not seen any statutory powers provided for the Attorney General by the constitution to determine how Nigeria’s money should be spent.

“There was an incident about a whistleblower, who made a formal report to Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, about $200million paid into two companies accounts, Biz Plus and GSCL, allegedly for consultancy services, which allegedly were approved by the Attorney General’s office on the approval of Mr. President.

“We need the Minister of Finance, and the Attorney General of the Federation to appear before this House to provide clarity on the inflows that have come in from whistle-blowers’ recoveries, and how these monies were recovered.

”The CBN is required to provide information that has been provided by these whistleblowers about substantial amounts of monies paid allegedly for consultancy services when there’s no record of any agreement entered into by those companies regarding any services.

“These are very weighty allegations and as a responsible House, we owe everybody a fair hearing and benefit of the doubt, and this is what we’ve been seeking to accord those who have been mentioned in these allegations.

”But we find it unfashionable that the minister of finance and Attorney General of Federation have not bothered to respond to any of the correspondence from the committee and this in our opinion shows a lack of regard not only to the institution of House but also that of the National Assembly as a whole.

“We will make this further appeal to the minister of finance and Attorney General of the Federation and all others who have not responded or who have not honoured the committee’s invitations to do so in the national interest.

”In the event that they fail to do so, we will be constrained to invoke the instrument of the summons and all other necessary powers the National Assembly can exercise in this regard. But we want to make this a formal and final notice to those concerned, the minister of finance and Attorney General of the Federation, to cause appearance before the committee to give evidence with regards to the allegations that have been laid before the committee.”

no muy bien, but I know the vital ones to care for my Spanish patient or to speak with my nursing co-workers.

Vale, esta muy bien... Keep improving because spanish is widely spoken and can open grandes puertas para ti.

favourRN:


Yes, I learned Spanish in Barbados while in nursing school, and it helped in communicating especially when traveling through Brazil, and the Panama route but personally it helped my communication with fellow Spanish nurses. I don't know how it could benefit more in Nigeria but outside the country it is.

O sea, hablas muy bien el española.

And the scariest part is that these things are being spread by people we are supposed to call prominent people like ministers and spokespersons. And others in government. I fear who no fear APC.

Where is APC going with all this lies? This is darkness, this can not be light.

Fear APC! 🤌🏾🤌🏾

In your 24hrs a day, fear APC propaganda for 23hrs, rest for 1hr!!

Most of your kinmens are in traffic now Hawking or doing nwa boy-boy, while the smart one change their name to avoid stigmatization.


Yoruba and Hausa has been using una head for ride since civil war era.

If the lie you are clinging unto makes you happy even when you know the truth deep down within you, then keep trotting.

Chest-beater feeling funky!

Take your response from one of the Igbo haters, El-Rufai. Abuja — The Minister in charge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai over the weekend declared that Igbos have acquired about 73 percent of landed property in Abuja.

The Minister, who was addressing a gathering of Southeast elected officials also revealed how the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmadu Ali abused him for demolishing his house in Asokoro District in Abuja.

https://allafrica.com/stories/200705210669.html

Now that he put all his tribe's men and family members in those positions as the most qualified. The results are there to justify if he made the right decision for the interest of the Nigerian masses or not. We can now see the increase in killings, insecurity and lawlessness in the land, these are all evidences of his lopsidedness in appointment. This 8 years of a truth, have been the worst in the history of this country. I know his lackeys will keep singing his praise because that is what they are hired for.

Dsalvo:


Get lost. You abominable people should learn how to act civilised.

Can you actually state any cogent reason why you so much hate the Igbos if not because you have been programmed to do so. We only hear people like you repeat over and over again like a broken record, that Igbos don't respect their host, Igbos come to a place before you know it they have dominated the whole place, Igbos are very proud, Igbos are this, Igbos are that. This has been the same beer parlor gist you guys keep propagating year in year out. If you are sincere to yourself and make a soul search, you'll actually discover that what you guys are suffering from is nothing but envy. So the people that go about killing your people in your land are the real civilized ones abi?

SmartPolician:


There are people shouldn't bother reading their comments on Nairaland because it's a complete waste of time. The moment you see their comments, you skip to the next because they are full of hate. That nitwit you quoted is one of them.

I tell you my brother! That guy is filled with so much bile and hate that one day it can choke him.

Dsalvo:


You're from the SS right? Then fight for your people and their interests because lately you seem to be confused and working yourself up over what is not your business.

You have mentioned this "Lagos screaming go back to your region" issue several times but you need to look within yourself and tell us when this has ever applied to anyone other than Igbos who deliberately take it upon themselves to fight, demean and alienate their host with divisive antics knowing such behaviour will only gain negative responses alone.

Have you ever screamed "Yoruba Moslem" to divide Yorubas as Igbos love doing? If not, why are you so bothered about the reaction such repellent behaviour from Igbos is gaining today from the Yorubas?

Are we Yorubas alone in our behaviour or have Ghanaians, South Africans, Indians, Indonesians, Kenyans, Zimbabweans etal , after far less provocation, not dished out worse to Igbos?

If in Ghana on holiday or for work/business in future then begin beefing Ghanaians, as you seem obsessed to do against Yorubas, for bouncing Igbos from their market rather than jejeli enjoying yourself safe in the knowledge that Igbos alone should deal with whatever repercussion arises from their covetous arrogance, disrespect and hate towards other in their own land.

No Yoruba has any problem with SS, Middle belt or even Northerners today and currently. We have no problem with them living with us in the SW.

Our problem is with Igbos and how they wish to drag with us in our land as if they can defeat us.. This is because, fundamentally, Igbos want to dominate everyone everywhere.

They do not and will never respect boundaries as other Nigerians, including SS folks, do. In Yorubas they have met their match and even superior.

The quickest way to be unfortunate in life is to carry another man's wahala on your own head rather than let them answer for their misdeeds alone.

Show me where Yorubas have ever threatened SS folks to justify your stance today. Also, prove how just and fair-minded you are as a person if you cannot see Igbo wrongdoing and the consequent negative reaction such gains worldwide today.

You have so much hate in you against the Igbos and it is not good for your health. I have not seen Igbos going to your villages to kill your people as the the Fulanis are doing on daily basis, yet you hate Igbos and accuse them of trying to dominate you. Few years ago Hausas in Lagos and Yorubas fought and many lives were lost, but you don't hate them. It is the Igbos that have never fought with anyone or killed your people that you have been programmed to hate.
Igbos have always had the same neighbors they have today around, but you have never heard that the Igbos fought any of them at any time and taken their land, yet you hate Igbos and accuse them of trying to take what does not belong to them.

I want to advise you to keep on hating on the Igbos, and as you do, God will keep on expanding them wherever they go. You cannot stop it.

Hell rufai's children are so so rude and lack good home training. This particular AIDS looking ugly duck doesn't even realize how bad he looks.

This is a very brilliant response. Let the debate be between Datti and the president-SELECT.

While my respect for Soyinka is in an all-time low, and on the brink of Total collapse, i understand his interest is on maintenance of post Electoral Peace (which Peter Obi has always maintained, if not on his return into the Country he would have met a completely fragmented Nigeria), but truth be told, Mr. Yakubu must confess to Nigerians how he rigged Tinubu into Winning the Election. He must also tell Nigerians how much he got from Tinubu to carry out the devilish operation. Haba! Yakubu, how selfish can a man be, you have the Pen to steal from the Huge Election Funds from INEC, yet you still went ahead to collect from an Election Rigger, a Lagos State common patrimony thief, a drug Trader, a Drug Baron, a Drug Trafficker and user. Indeed, it is quite a shame, that filthy, rickety, and leprous Man called Tinubu penetrated you with all your access to Funds.

The Vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has declined the request of Prof. Wole Soyinka for a one-on-one debate on the outcome of the February 25 presidential election.

Soyinka called for the debate while condemning Baba-Ahmed's recent interview on Channels TV, where he called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief Justice of Nigeria not to swear in Bola Tinubu, whom INEC declared as the president-elect, insisting that declaring Tinubu a winner and issuing him a certificate of return is against the constitution.

According to the LP vice presidential candidate, “whoever swears in Mr Tinubu” has “ended Democracy” in Nigeria.

Reacting to the interview that saw the National Broadcasting Commission NBC issuing a N5 million fine on Channels TV, the Nobel Laureate described Baba-Ahmed's remarks as a “kind of do-or-die attitude and provocation” that goes contrary to democratic disposition.

“I have never heard anyone threaten the judiciary on television the way Datti did. I heard the kind of menacing, blackmailing language as that to which we were treated by Datti. That kind of do-or-die attitude and provocation is not what I think we have all been struggling for. Nearly the totality of Datti’s comment in the interview was unbecoming. It was like trying to dictate to the supreme arbiter of the nation, and whatever you think of the supreme court, it is an institution we all refer to sooner or later. But Datti kept saying, in his wisdom, that the supreme court must agree with me. That is what is known as fascistic language and it is not acceptable.”he said

The revered poet’s position on Datti’s utterances, however, did not go down well with many supporters of the LP’s presidential candidate and his vice, as they dragged Soyinka on social media.

Giving a reply to these criticisms and the conduct of Datti Baba-Ahmed, Soyinka in a statement titled “Fascism on Course”, noted that Nigerian Democracy 2023 has witnessed innovations largely in the retrogressive vein, as violence, ethnic profiling and intimidation continue to be easily overlooked even as they are directed against dissenting voices. He condemned the sanction against Channels TV and praised the professionalism of the anchor who he stressed made several attempts to keep Baba-Ahmed in check while on air. He went on to challenge the LP’s vice presidential candidate to a debate as regards his claims of Nigeria’s democracy ending if Tinubu is sworn in come May 29th.

“May I cease this opportunity, by the way, to condemn the sanctions imposed on CHANNELS Television which anchored the performance of the LP candidate. As stated, I watched the programme keenly – saw the valiant efforts of the interviewer to ensure fair hearing. I fail to understand just where the station could be faulted, except from a disposition for injustice. To sustain that penalty is to give joy to others who turn Internet into a soakaway for their rancid emissions, yet feel that others should be silenced. If CHANNELS feels up to it, I offer myself willing to engage Mr. Datti – or any nominee of his – on its platform on this very bone of contention – one-on-one – without the malodorous intervention of media trolls, and with the same interviewer as mediator. That should be taken as a serious offer,” the Nobel Laureate said

Reacting to a one-on-one debate challenge by Soyinka over his views on the constitutionality of inaugurating President-elect, Bola Tinubu, Baba-Ahmed told the Nobel laureate to instead bring his preferred candidates to debate him.

In a statement by the Obi-Datti Media Office on Saturday May 8, the LP vice-presidential candidate said his decision not to take Soyinka up on his offer was not out of cowardice but for cultural and political reasons. He said one of the reasons he would not debate the celebrated writer is that he was not on any of the opposing ballots in the election. Datti, however, said that if Soyinka could use his influence to bring out his preferred candidates for the debate, he is willing to take them on.

Read the statement below

‘’DATTI BABA-AHMED WILL NOT DEBATE PROF. SOYINKA. Like many Nigerians we are bewildered by the late hour intervention of our respected Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka in issues around the flawed 2023 elections.

Where was he all this while? One of those who should ordinarily and rightfully be honoured as the conscience of the nation, Prof. Soyinka is now criminalising dissent and infact weighing in on the side of fraud and injustice! We state therefore that the vice-presidential candidate of Labour Party, Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed cannot take up Prof. Soyinka’s offer of a public debate, not out of cowardice, but for cultural and political reasons.

Culturally it’s just not decent, their age and accomplishment gaps taken into account, for Datti to sit opposite the 88 year-old global icon and point out his folly to his face, even if the old man called for it. And politically there is no basis for such a challenge in that Prof. is not on any of the opposite ballots.

If however he can use his influence to drag his preferred candidates, who resisted debates throughout the campaign, to the studio this second, Datti says he is more than willing to take them on. Signed: Obi-Datti Media Office.''

Was their education sponsored by the government? Was any grant given to them during their school days to warrant these selfish politicians to make such demand?

theophorus:
Give a Village Man 100USD, if doesn't know the value, He would exchange it for 1000NGN.

Ensure you know the real value of what you have so that you don't exchange it for peanuts.

This your comment says it all. The fact is that they didn't know the value of what they had, that's if at all they had anything.

Chief Justice of Nigeria, Kayode Ariwoola disguises on wheelchair in London hotel for secret meeting with Bola Tinubu

Chief Justice Olukayode Ariwoola has been sighted in London pretending to be a physically-challenged old man, Peoples Gazette learnt today, in what Supreme Court sources said was a clandestine preparation for a meeting with President-elect Bola Tinubu.

Mr Ariwoola’s movement was exposed to The Gazette as Mr Tinubu was arriving in London for what his team claimed was a relaxation trip after a hectic campaign that preceded his declaration as Nigeria’s president-elect last month. But Mr Tinubu kept his trip to London secret until it was exposed on Wednesday afternoon by Sahara Reporters, which said the trip was a medical emergency.

The Gazette learnt that Mr Ariwoola departed Nigeria on March 11 via Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. He was pushed in a wheelchair through the terminals to board a British Airways flight, our sources said.

Upon arrival in London, Mr Ariwoola, 64, was also wheeled into a hotel downtown, where he has remained ever since. But immediately after checking into the hotel, Mr Ariwoola abandoned his wheelchair and started moving around the facility unaided. The Supreme Court head is not known with any physical disabilities.

“He has been moving about in the hotel without any wheelchair,” a source familiar with the CJN’s activities at the London accommodation told The Gazette. “He was standing on his own in the elevator just yesterday.”

The Gazette learnt that Mr Ariwoola repeatedly picked up food ordered via delivery services at a mid-level lobby, including Uber Eats and Deliveroo. It was unclear whether or not he placed the orders by himself or how he paid.

With Mr Tinubu now in Europe, he would be meeting Mr Ariwoola in a secret arrangement to discuss issues unknown to Nigerians, our sources said.

“The CJN deliberately left the country more than a week ahead of Tinubu to avoid any suspicion about why both of them disappeared at once,” a source familiar said. “That is why he travelled secretly and Tinubu also travelled secretly.”

They thought that they could secretly move the president-elect abroad without anybody knowing about it,” a source said. “That’s one of the several mistakes they made on this matter, asides from the belief that they could allow the Chief Justice of Nigeria to move about in a London hotel for several days undetected after going through the trouble of disguising him in a wheelchair.”

The Gazette has temporarily withheld the CJN’s photos and the specific hotel he stayed in to protect a source central to this story.

A Supreme Court source said Mr Ariwoola wanted to meet Mr Tinubu to discuss issues that may arise from the budding legal challenge to the declaration as president-elect, including whether or not he should be worried about the petitions recently filed by opposition parties.

“The CJN would either assure Tinubu of victory in court or tell him that he should be worried about the dimension the petitions may take through the court stages,” the source said under anonymity to avoid facing administrative action for divulging privileged information to reporters. “But we may never know what they actually discussed after their secret meeting.”

“I am reluctant to start thinking about the of their meeting right now,” the source added. “But any fair-minded person will easily admit that both of them meeting in a foreign corner to discuss something that Nigerians will not know about is highly suspicious and should be unwarranted.”
