Yes. Suck the flesh out from the shell and eat the flesh, dispose the shell.

That's stressful

As a jobless, hungry and frustrated Nigerian job seeker, I travelled for a job related matter to stay with a friend in his one room apartment. I realized this guy does literally everything with periwinkle. He cooks literally everything with periwinkle. Soup, rice, beans and even sometimes, he prepares it eat it alone without combining with anything.

I am a lover of periwinkle but it seems I met someone who love periwinkle more than me.

Who else love periwinkle and how often do you cook with it?

Meanwhile living in this economy without a job is worst than hell. God forbid what I am currently going through. I need a job. I need love. Give me a job and show me love please before I kpai.

How do you eat it. You suck it from the shell?

These people should leave the bulk of elective positions in Abuja to the indigenes...

At least 60% should be reserved for them...

What happens, when the indigen don't buy the party form or run for the office. Please throw away such narrative.

YPP ,AAC and BOOT party is there. Why didn't you ask those parties to live the position for indigenous people.

In few years time, All cosmopolitan areas in Nigeria, will not be run by tribe or ethnic sentiment.

EponObi:
Dey play!

Wetin you think people like Victor Umeh and Funsho Doherty wan do before?

It will be a repeat of 2023 with LP.

You see people move from other parties to LP to ADC to NDC (three parties in four months), what do you think is their aim?

If Obi's hype is as potent as in 2023, some of them will win their elections like Ireti, even though they are paper weight politicians, then defect.

It's why I now respect GRV. He respected himself when he stopped at ADC.

Na Funsho Doherty disappoint me pass; he's was already a powerhouse in ADC like Leke Abejide just that APC is too strong for him in Lagos. The man abandoned all his legacies in ADC to follow Obi to NDC - a new party. It's now certain he has no ideology and his posh criticisms of LASG were performative. Following Obi won't make him governor in Lagos, so why make such move?

Story ...as if you'd vote funsho.

ogugwa1992:
Obidients, let us vote Hayatu-Deen now to stop Atiku’s unending Presidential Ambition - Netizens



I’m just thinking out loud. Since Atiku has refused to give up his presidential ambition, my dear Obidients, why don’t we do something? Since many are still registered with the ADC, why don’t we massively vote for this ADC aspirant, Mohammed Hayatudeen, to win the ADC ticket this morning? He will be a lesser threat to us in the general election. They are holding their primaries today.

What do you think?

It takes stupidity to create topics like this and more stupidity to move it to the home page of this site.

This is a fact.

Goo0dHardDick:
Bat is way smarter than wike.

Bat and APC will dump him once they are through with him. They're just using wike to destroy PDP and the opposition

Using Wike how...

Look, I'm not a fan of Wike, I don't like him. but until the time when what's inside him expires... BAT can't collide with Wike.

When that time comes, what you are saying will be valid. But for now...

Forget it. Wike is higher in rank.

Let's just live it at that.


Whatever you think BAT can do to Wike, because of presidential powers, He,BAT can't do it.

It's that deep

Goo0dHardDick:
Fubra is such a very weak man.

No stamina to challenge wike. So pathetic

Can you challenge Wike?

Someone that BAT can't challenge.
Well social media is a leveler.

Breaking: APC Clears Gov Fubara For APC Governorship Primaries

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and 29 other sitting governors of the party as aspirants eligible to contest the party’s governorship primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Party sources confirmed to Vanguard that Governor Fubara, alongside other APC governors including Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, and notable figures such as former Secretary to the Oyo State Government, Sarafadeen Alli, were among those who scaled through the party’s screening exercise.

According to the sources, a total of thirty governors of the APC were cleared for the governorship primaries as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 polls.

The development comes amid reports of a flood of petitions that is currently stalling the final release of the comprehensive screening report. Despite this, the APC had earlier announced plans to publish the list of cleared aspirants on Tuesday, May 13, in line with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) timelines for the upcoming elections.

Vanguard gathered that the APC screened no fewer than 2,980 aspirants across various positions, broken down as follows:

* One presidential slot
* 28 governorship positions
* 109 Senatorial seats
* 360 House of Representatives seats
* 991 State Assembly positions

The clearance of Governor Fubara is seen as a significant boost for the APC in Rivers State, where political tensions have lingered since his fallout with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike. Fubara’s formal entry into the APC and subsequent clearance signals a major realignment in the state’s political landscape ahead of 2027.

Party insiders indicate that while the screening process has been largely successful, the leadership is meticulously addressing all petitions to ensure transparency and fairness before releasing the final list of cleared aspirants to the public.

Further updates on the full list of cleared aspirants and the resolution of pending petitions are expected in the coming days as the APC continues to tighten its structures and strategies for the 2027 general elections.

After he was forced to sing "On Your Mandate" alone so that the president will see.

It's all arrangement jare.

richmond500:
Wike is 100 dispensable, especially after losing PDP and Rivers State is not in his pocket

How? .

To BAT, Wike is not dispensable.

We know APC and BAT don't have the balls to go against Wike. that's a fact.

Fubara is dispensable, Wike is not , at least for now

You guys still haven't understood who Peter Obi is. He is not desperate to become President, he is only desperate to see Nigeria work.


He doesn't like to participate in Nigerian party primaries truly because of the way it always go which involves sharing money to delegates and party members to secure their support and votes and Peter Obi will rather not contest than bribe anybody for support or vote.


If he fails, no wahala, at least he has left an indelible mark and footprint in the Nigerian political history that will never be forgotten.

So if it's the will of NIGERIANS to allow criminals and corrupt Kleptomaniacs to continue to plunder Nigeria in the name of being expert in playing politics, then so be it for Nigerians

You don't have confidence of Obi winning. Why waste people's time

LagosOrigin:
Obi heart was in ADC until atiku tried to hijack the party with dollars

Peter Obi don't play politics of dollars so he left to NDC.

Peter Obi said it openly that he will leave the ADC if atiku attempts transactional politics and he did.

Nigeria is in ruins today because we play politics of "bribe for support" and Peter Obi will never be a party to that.

It is the turn of the south, so atiku can keep his dollars till the next election after 2027.

All these BS narrative doesn't hold water... Not that I'm interested in the whole saga.

When people try to rationalize things that are spiritually powerd, things like this happen.

I won't say much but it's not about Obi remaining in ADC. but his exit made things a bit difficult for them.

Critical questions on , how to win elections and how to stop rigging was never asked and answered, it's been all noise of supporters.

It is what it is. Everyone can now rest.

How do you people calculate this thing.
Or some persons are using Google?

Just as with Charlie Kirk, I believe there are layers to these things...

There are people pulling this off.

seunmsg:
Old news. They have closed it back today.

So what difference does it make. Closed = Blockade

There's still restrictions.

The world will adjust, as they did with Russia - Ukraine war. The gladiators can keep fighting.

Is it still available?

I think the US government is confused. From the Christmas day bombing of empty land, to what's happening in the middle east where they are losing out, yet keep loading the media with falsehood, the US is not what it claims to be.

Honestly speaking.

Too bad..Now Trump has no option than to block the major sea route. Too bad.

Can't these people just have peace?

SadiqBabaSani:
The strategic importance of that office of INEC cannot be overemphasized.

This is the first time in more than Years a Northern Christian is Head of the electoral body.

All the opposition to Amupitan as INEC chair is majorly because of the brief be wrote sometimes ago detailing the systemic War been waged against Xtians and Christianity, this is the man's major offense, not about his purported bias or anything of the like.

Is he partisan or not!

Dreal1247:
This is the same way Adeosun the then minister of finance under Buhari was removed through the northern manipulation. They mount massive attacks against anyone that they feel doesn't represent their selfish interest until the person either resigns or removed. Just because she wanted to have detailed monthly financial reports of the NNPC, that was her only offence.

Is Amupitan partisan or not.

The Federal Government has described the coronation and activities of Eze Ndigbo “Igbo Kings” in foreign countries as embarrassing.

Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, against the backdrop of the Imeobi meeting, the highest decision-making body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in Enugu.

The minister in the statement issued by Dr Magnus Eze, Special Assistant on Communication and New Media, Office of the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, described the situation as an embarrassment.

According to her, it has become a big embarrassment to the government, Ndigbo, Nigerians and other foreigners in those countries, where they have Eze Ndigbo.

“This is as the National Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide in collaboration with the South East Council of Traditional Rulers abolished the concept of Eze Igbo outside Igboland”.

She narrated that Igbo associations in diaspora usually stage cultural activities to promote their heritage, but unfortunately, the enthronement of traditional rulership by some of these Igbo groups has severely caused friction.

This, according to her, is not just among the Igbo communities themselves, but also between the Igbo and their host communities.

The minister stated that people could still express themselves culturally without causing nuisance to the indigenous people of the host country and others.

She recounted that recently, violent protests erupted in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, following the controversial coronation of a Nigerian Igbo leader, Solomon Eziko, as “Eze Ndigbo na East London” Igbo King in East London.African economy outlook

Also the event sparked an outcry from local residents, traditional leaders, and political parties, leading to violence, the torching of foreign-owned vehicles, and looting.

“On March 14, 2026, Eziko was crowned as a traditional leader in KuGompo City, East London, a move interpreted by South Africans as an unlawful challenge to local sovereignty and traditional leadership structures.

“Protests began on March 30, with demonstrations organised by groups including ActionSA, which quickly escalated into violence. The protesters targeted foreign-owned businesses and vehicles, with reports of no fewer than 13 vehicles being destroyed.

“At least one stabbing incident was reported, and police had to use stun grenades and tear gas to restore order.

“The Eastern Cape House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders condemned the coronation as flagrant violation of customary protocols.

Also, the South African government’s Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs declared the installation illegal and in violation of the constitution,” she said.

She revealed that the ministry deployed diplomatic channels in tackling the situation, adding that the Nigerian High Commission in South Africa distanced itself from the coronation, acknowledging it was a cultural event misinterpreted and not formal, recognised monarchy.African economy outlook

She also said the Nigerian Embassy in Pretoria officially apologised for the confusion and crisis, urging Nigerians in South Africa to maintain a low profile and avoid further confrontations.

The minister said the Deputy High Commissioner, Olajide Ogunmadeji, had addressed some protesters saying the situation was misinterpreted, as the coronation was only ceremonial, rather than the installation of traditional authority that defied the existing system.

She recalled a similar incident that occurred in Ghana in July, 2025 because of the Eze Ndigbo issue, while addressing the Ohanaeze Imeobi/General Assembly.

She disclosed leading delegation to Accra to douse the tension, as Ghanaian protesters demanded Nigerians must leave, saying aggrieved Ghanaians issued compatriots quit notice, insisting Nigerians must go.

The minister urged Ohanaeze Ndigbo to prescribe sanctions for any persons flouting its directive abolishing Igbo traditional rulership outside Igboland.

She quoted the President_General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Sen. Azuta Mbata, to have presented the decision of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, saying they have adopted the position of the traditional rulers abolishing the Eze Ndigbo title in diaspora.

“Anybody who is being awarded that type of title anywhere outside of Igbo land is on his own.

It is unknown to the Igbo people and we will call upon all state governors, we will correspond to all embassies in the world informing them about the position of Ndigbo.

“The position of Eze Ndigbo anywhere outside Igbo land is hereby alienated and proscribed. That is the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide.

“We will determine in consultation with the kings of Igbo land what the punishment will be for anybody who goes against this position and that punishment will be implemented at the village level.

Your hometown, your town union will be under injunction to implement that punishment but we are going to declare that punishment after due consultation.”

She further assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would help disseminate the Ohanaeze communique on the issue through its Missions and High Commissions. (NAN)

It's embarrassing and igbos must be told the truth.

That stupidity of Eze Igbo of almost every street in foreign land, constituting nuisance should stop.

FSBoperator:
The stinking hypocrisy of the Obidients who are now peddling the lie that the authentic Deputy National Chairman of the ADC, Nafiu Bala was bought over by the ruling party to cause confusion in the ADC in challenging the emergence of the illegal and highly controversial David Mark led Interim Working Committee, fail and refuse to ask what led the former ADC National Chairman to resign his seat and illegally hand all party structures to the illegal David Mark faction.

Nwosu should be at the centre stage and not Nafiu who is only in the process of reclaiming his automatic position as the acting National Chairman.

It is this same Nwosu who after resigning, handed the party structure to David Mark gate crashers without recourse to even his party's internal constitution.

Nwosu will later write to INEC 2 months after his resignation writing in same capacity as National Chairman which he had since resigned from, noting that Nafiu had resigned.

This alone is an illegality as Nwosu had no rights any more to write under the auspices as the National Chairman since his resignation and even his notice to INEC was a grand scheme to oust Nafiu who had not resigned his position.

It is then sad to see Obidients attack Nafiu will ignoring the likes of Nwosu who obviously sold his seat to David Mark's gate crashers' faction.

But today, they are spreading the lies that Nafiu who is only following his party's constitution and fighting to reclaim his seat as deputy National chairman that would have seen him being the automatic acting National chairman, being villified as the one on the payroll of the ruling party.

So what of Nwosu?

What party constitutional provisions, makes Gombe , the chairman of the party.


Who does the actions of Gombe, benefit.

Without the coalition, what was the chances of ADC

Plz face another business jare

You contact a mechanic to fix your car.

You contact a dry cleaner to dry clean your clothes.

You contact a killer, to kill someone.

Nobody contacts a neophyte and leave such information with them.

Ijele has confirmed who he is.

If you like let this pass over your head.

Obaofaba:
How many political parties do we have presently in Nigeria?

If my memory serves me well, it is not less than 21.

Why are you lying?

Tell me how many of them have been bought.

You know the number of parties but you don't know how many have been bought over. So you think those parties are there for no reason?

You are either naive or mischievous.

Those who support hizbollah should speak . Well we know them. You will think they don't support boko Haram, until someone says " They kill both Christians and Muslims"

In 2013-2015. Did we not see how boko haram gains support as a religious militant group?

When Hamas is attacked, it's called Pakistan.

Whan hizbollah is attacked, it's called Lebanon.

When boko Haram is attacked, remember " An attack against boko Haram is declaration of war against the north"

Same predictable script

As it seems now. We may adopt an unknown party and candidate to battle BAT and Win him

How ? Na their senior brother US dey their back o ..

As their senior brother don vex nko.

Truth is that. EUROPE will be fine.

But then for the middle east? Some countries will live on their knees, after this Iran conflict. Unless something happens to Iran.

LeeSmart:
For the first time i will be in support of Russia annexing greater part of europ..... most of European leaders are a bunch of woke nuisance (especially france and UK).

It's time the US pull out of NATO and allow Russia finish the job.

Europe will fight for themselves . Another president will come and see things differently.

If they get mind they should move the one in rivers state.

Namaster:
Both-siding NONSENSICAL statements like this is how the US ended up with a PDFile in the White House.

How can you say RECONCILE reality with this your submission.

One side is in their country, minding their business.
The other side left their COUNTRY, left their CONTINENT and ASSASSINATED their leaders.
BOMBED 150+ of their children in school.

BOMBED their hospitals and universities.
BOMBED their bridges and museums.

YET you say both sides are EQUALLY GUILTY.

That is MADNESS!

Well, everyone except you , know that hizbollah attack on Israel from Lebanon , is from Iran. The more reason Iran is reacting to the fight towards Lebanon. You think those Hamas attack and others, is not being pushed From Iran. What Israel did was face Iran directly and not their proxies .

Iran is on their own, indeed.

You can keep deceiving yourself
