sammirano: The massive migration of people that have lost their homeland due to insecurity into ondo is a big concern, they are importing their barbaric lifestyle there gradually. That's why i said ondo is gone.
That homeland lost to insecurity is hosting the NBA conference of 20,000 lawyers.........keep on drinking Paradox for another man's headache........ No face your growing juhadi problem!
PresidObi: This is very bad, insecurity should be fought not tribalized.
If it happens in other regions they will start calling out some other bodies, people wont blame Amotekun or OPC now o
It is not about tribalism ...it is about competence and capacity in government! Governnce is not about the perks of the office , attending global owambe events and doing eko for show every weekend at Bourdillon..........Governance is also about biting the bullet, stepping on big fat political toes no matter whose ox is gored! Tinubu has shown that he does not have what it takes to tackle insecurity........Tinubu has a shipload of IOUs to redeem!
SolaOmoniyi: Human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has said he would support President Bola Tinubu over Labour Party’s Peter Obi if both contest in the 2027 presidential election.
Adeyanju, who spoke in an interview on Channels Television on Friday, said his position was based on concerns about political tolerance and the conduct of some Obi supporters during the 2023 election.
He alleged that many supporters of the former Anambra governor harassed and intimidated dissenting voices, branding critics as enemies of Nigeria or compromised individuals.
“If the opposition presents Peter Obi, I will vote Tinubu,” Adeyanju said. “We cannot have a situation where people who hold different views are terrorised.”
The activist dismissed suggestions that he was working with the ruling APC, insisting his political choices had always been independent. He noted that he had voted across party lines in past elections — for Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 and 2015, and Omoyele Sowore in 2023.
did shameless fake ojota activists wants to cash out as usual! Who is he tryin to convince sef that he was ever a genuine activists! Another closet tribalist!
This Tunji Ojo is one of the few pleasant surprises of the 2023 elections......with Patrick mba of Enugu state......I believe they have done well! I will rather pay for stress free process than wait endlessly for corrupt officials !
A throwback video of a woman carrying a lion on the streets of Kuwait has resurfaced again. The video was first shared in 2022. But it's currently trending again.
Such a brave woman!
That is a lion cub........a single person cannot carry a full grown lion like that!
Popular Nnewi-born industrialist, philanthropist and business mogul, Chief Dr. Cletus Ibeto has pulled down the palace (Ọzọobi) of the Traditional Ruler of Nnewi, H.R.H. Igwe Kenneth Onyeneke Orizu III, and begun construction of a brand new palace for the revered monarch ahead of his 100th birthday celebration.
This laudable gesture is also accompanied by another donation of a gigantic royal gate for the palace by Chief Ibeto, to replace the current one.
It was gathered that the two projects will be completed in three months time, while works have already commenced at the site and progressing on a high speed.
This was corroborated by a video from the site, currently trending on social media, showing some rubble from the demolished building, and men working on the new project, with the foundation already, and the pegging ongoing.
When contacted, the Chairman of Nnewi Museum Committee and Chairman of Ohanaeze Ndị Igbo (Nnewi Branch), Prince Afam Orizu, confirmed the development in an interview with this reporter, Izunna Okafor, over the week, describing it as a laudable gesture indeed.
He also confirmed the duration of the projects execution as was pledged by the benefactor, affirming that they are expected to be completed in three months time.
According to him, the sponsor, Chief Ibeto, has taken it upon himself to see that Igwe Orizu celebrates his centenary in a brand new palace.
Giving a brief background, Prince Orizu revealed that the old palace was built many decades ago, which, he said, believably was part of the reason for Chief Ibeto's decision to build a new one, especially as the respected monarch set to mark his 100th birthday and 62nd year on the throne.
According to him, Igwe Orizu will clock 100 years old in few months time, while the actual celebration of the centenary will be on December 28th, alongside his 62nd Ofala/anniversary on the throne as Igwe Nnewi. The grand event, he said, will be a great homecoming for the sons and daughters of Nnewi, whom, he said, would be glad to see some changes and transformations, especially in the look of the palace, which is being facilitated by Chief Ibeto.
Prince Orizu further disclosed that this would not be the first time Chief Ibeto is bringing transformation in the palace, recalling that it was also he (Chief Ibeto) who built the amphitheatre within the palace, about seven years ago, among patriotic gestures he has shown.
He further noted that the Igwe Orizu has already rained his royal blessings on him, while also praying for him to also live long and healthy.
Igwe Orizu III, who was born in 1925 and ascended the throne of his forefathers on June 2, 1963 as the 20th Igwe Nnewi, is currently the longest-serving monarch in Nigeria. He is the traditional supreme ruler and spiritual leader in Nnewi.
The kingdom of Nnewi is one of the oldest monarchy in Eastern Nigeria with records tracing the beginning of the Nnewi monarchy to the 15th century well before the arrival of the Europeans. The succession to the throne is patrilineal and based on the rule of primogeniture. Igwe Orizu III ascended to the throne following the death of his father, HRH Josiah Nnaji Igwe Orizu II.
oldest monarchy indeed but certainly another British appointed warrant chief! Let us stop building castles in the air...........Ndigbo had zero monarchy b4 the British came!
SmartPolician: The only condition why Nnamdi Kanu should be released is that he shouldn't be seen organising rallies and trying to mobilize young people for some needless secession struggle that has caused the SE region more harm than good. If not, he should remain where he is.
protests and rallies are hallmarks of democracy oga! my own is that he should get permits and approvals for such protests! Mind you Kanu called for a referendum not secession! It is withinbhis right to call for that! Whether that is good or bad is not the question ! the fact remains that he has a right to protest and agitate!
Guestmale: I hope our people that are crying over unmanned 5 by 10 cubicle can now see a bigger fish Nigeria has gotten from the on going exhibition and go and rest.
so japa to slavery is now achievement! una no get sense at all!
[quote author=beerfraud post=135056085][/quote]Africans can be so slow and dull! So the education revolution and rural roads and peace we had during his time was not visible to the man? You want him to build inflated projects upon poverty and disease?
JASONjnr: Tinubu is working while mourners go around criticizing with a frog voice.
Yoruba ronuite.......all you have remaining is at best 2 years....get ready to pack APC load away from aso rock! Anuka and adaka...( buhari and Tinubu) have done enuff damage! incompetent presidents!
Obaaderemi2: Yes. At first I was blaming the Lagos politicians for renaming those Lagos streets, now I know better. These people will never learn. No wonder they're strictly restricted during elections in Lagos. Very soon more restrictions will follow across SW since they've decided to always show they can't live together with others in a multicultural place without attracting the wrong kind of attention to themselves
Ndigbo will soon come up with their own ''restrictive yoruba sanctions " ........we go soon know who cry pass? I believe the yorubas wey the sanctions go hit are already beating a hasty retreat! We no dey shake!
CoachBush: We Igbos should stop making things more difficult for the Igbo community in lagos
More difficult as how? Igbos should not give 1 inch of their patrimony in Lagos to anybody! If Nigeria has expired .....Yorubas should tell us....make we shared assets and liabilities!
esnbrutality: So na IGBO man follow develop the same LAGOS claimed by people based in Oshogbo and Ibadan?
Chai.. propaganda can only go far to an extent.
This is really newsworthy.
The university of lagos wey yorubas dey take shine....was concieved and built under An NCNC minister of education! Your stock exchange was inspired by its first chairman Odimegwu Ojukwu....NO NIGERIA history without 5 chapters for igbo contribution!
The economy that APC cannot destroy does not exist! The twin financial terrors...anuka and adaka ( Buhari and Tinubu) are the 2 most incompetent leaders in contemporary African history! Clueless to the core!
zero8zero: How would you control inflation if there's more money in the system. As long as the economy is being stabilized, the value of naira becomes stronger. And if US are that bothered, they can help us with $20billion world bank loan like they helped Argentina.
the 20billion dollars that yoruba administration has collected...wetin una take am do! There is no hiding place for this ojota activists regime......we will swim or drown by your economic policies!
Validated: NATO should just deploy 100000 troops to Ukraine. Putin is overstretched his luck already.
I hope your slow behind is ready for a nuclear war........Russia is the worlds largest nuclear weapons power! You do not buy their neighbours to act as a staging outpost to undermine Russia especially as western Europe has a history of trying to invade Russia, Sweden tried in the 1700s, france tried in 1812 and Germany tried in 1941..................You want Russia to allow NATO build military and intelligence outposts in Ukraine...? It is like Russia going to canada or mexico to build military alliances and to station russian nuclear missiles in those nations...........USA will never stand for it! Why you feel Russia will stand for it is beyond me!
I hope this is not another the more you look, the less you see....typical of southeast projects.........which are always "in the pipeline" or ''ear marked"...I know why I say so, all i can see in the picture is 10 feet of heaped sand, 1 shovel and a tipper! just sayin!
SatoshiX: Ask yourself are there many igbos in the Army to start with? The other time, Frank Mba had to hurriedly promoted from ACP till he gets to DIG just to fill in the SE gap at the top of the Police ranking. Even during the last recruitment exercise, one of the SE governors came out to complain about the low show of interest by his people. So who do we blame? The institution or your people? Look in the mirror for the answer
Oga go and sit down.....if you have nothing meaningful to add to the topic
Max24: Tinubu is a bold and visionary leader. When he started this CNG thing Obi and Obidients derided him. Now see how govs and everyone is embracing it as it is cheaper to use. Tinubu is light years ahead of Obi in vision and capability.
Innosson started building CNG buses b4 Escobar rigged himself into power! In fact they are curretly building the largest commercial bus assembly plant
