This kind of injustice is now being normalised simply because nobody in the east is willing to push back. There are hundreds if not thousands of cases like this. Including those kidnapped from Obigbo. This has to stop. But as long as there are no concerted efforts to stop this, it will continue. Many igbos are siad to be languishing in jails as far as Niger state. This is while the federal government is busy releasing "repentant" boko haram fighters.. Folks have to learn how to really push back..

How can there be a push back when the biggest purveyors of Igbophobia are our political elites! Check out Soludo and Patrick mba..........and I thought Uzodimma was bad! All their gragra will soon come to an end!

Rest in peace, the great, incorruptible General

Na so....keep up the delusory delirium./...that is why your country is a global basket case! Even republic of benin has become abroad for Nigerians!

Thats the invaders oooooo.

If you harbor robbers in your home to attack me........do not be surprised if you become a target

mightyhaze:
I very much doubt this picture.. Obi never add this kind weight in the early 90s...and ojukwu was much older than this in the 90s...but assuming it's real,so snapping a group picture now equates meeting sb one on one in an office?


I have a group picture with Obasanjo in it when he visited university of Benin to commission our medical complex in 1999... Does it mean I know him closely?

Nigerians are so slow.....which kind disproportional head Ojukwu come carry?

Still the same old lucre and looting......other African nations have done away with this kind of behavior but Tinubu's administration is just more of the same.....what has Tinubu really achieved bikonu?.........Nothing really! Borrowing and spend government!

seunmsg:
It’s a long and painful journey to full economic recovery and growth but very surely, we are on the right track with the reforms initiated by the Tinubu administration.

A combination of significant reduction in payment on importation of PMS, increase in non-oil export and less wastage of forex to maintain a fixed exchange rate is the reason behind the stability. This is the right way to fix the economy without throwing the country into debt just to defend the naira. Kudos to President Tinubu and his team.

what exactly are the absolute increment on forex inflow...........vague inuendos will not cut it! Facts are sacred

helinues:
Go to court and stop bugging us or wait till the presidency return back to your region and do your own

This same claim have been debunked by this government by presenting the list of the appointees , but this op just decided to cherry pick some of the appointments as he's a master of pettiness

your gragra no go pass May2027!

Educationalserv:
There are over 50 ethnic group in southern Nigeria . TInibu supporter Claim it Southern turn then why is he appointing only Yoruba to key position?

Accountant general= Yourba
Auditor General= Yourba
Firs Chairman= Yourba .
NNPC= Yourba
FAAN = Yourba
Nimasa= Yourba

Should be careful spending too much time and money on fun.
Those things(time and money) should be spent more on productive things or for talent developments, more like having fun learning centers for mastering ones talent.

More fun centers would be great if they're made mostly for people to come learn and compete in things they're talented in or passionate about... Things that can be used for the good of society.
They could become places to groom and nurture talented swimmers, pilots, coders, chess players, football players, transporters, eco-friendly estate developers...basically anything that can be properly learned via physical and virtual gaming. I think people would pay alot to gain access to such facilities since they can be used to develop oneself and earn a living. Alot of people would also pay fees just to be spectators

Anyway, hope they don't get too attached to this things to the extent of spending too much time and money on them. Better to spend more time and money on good things that can be used to benefit society, more than you benefit yourself.

Good point but we do not have any at all..........how many parks or game centers do we have in Awka anyway! In The US they are everywhere ...in fact they go for a baker's dozen for a penny! Even the libraries have all that you described.......aside books they have coding and 3d printing classes for teenagers..................etc! The more the merrier afterall we have schools everywhere too!

Putindbutt:
For sure, Jagaban will complete these legacy projects in record time.

yes he will complete it na.....30 km X 20 years is 700 km!

Antoeni:
RTD General Ihejirika Was The Only General. who Was Bent On Decimating Boko Haram Genuinely But Buhari & His Co-Travellers cum Bigots Started Attacking Him That He Was Killing Their BOKO HARAM Brothers As Revenge For 1967 War. Jonathan Cowed to Pressure & Removed Him. Today The Entire North is Engulfed.

God bless his peaceful soul but Jonathan had no business being in Aso Rock even as a guest talkless as a President! Sorry but that's is the truth

azpekuliar:
if it is not employees it could be envious family members. That is how the founder of GIGM was kidnapped and killed even after paying ransom.

No be him edo in-laws that deleted the misguided Igbo man.......today na edo people they run him business! Igbo / edo marriages are a disaster waiting to happen......2 hyper competitive tribes...hell no! Even Igbo / ronu marriages last longer!

SoftSport:
Wow. President Tinubu is doing amazingly great. I mean just imagine the plan to finish building nine seaports and upgrade the existing ones. Imagine the impact on Nigeria's economy. This is wonderful.

Na today day break? Anyway better late than never! Forward planning is a big problem for this administration ! Speed..speed and speed

Putindbutt:
Elrufai talk to your boys biko... You can't win power ontop people's blood.

boko haram is way beyond El rufais pay grade oga, na d people with pointed nose dey sponsor boko haram! thats why niger and Burkina faso chase dem away ..........same reason russi is chasing dem in ukraine but we nigerians are as usual in sleep mode! make una continue dey sleep!

ANSMEDIA:
Some snippets from the largest and most beautiful fun center in Igboland, the Solution Fun City Awka. Now, people of the southeast are proud to have the biggest and most beautiful fun city in Africa. God bless Igboland.

Impressive pictures of Awka! Clearly Soludo has put a lot of work in Awka....and its showing! Our business men should please come on board with more leisure and social facilities....the kind of crowd I saw at the opening of the park suggests that awka residents have been starved of such facilities for a long time!

helinues:
That lies have been flying around for some time whenever some people want to question why the dollar rate currently is above N1500.

The truth is, during the time of naira to dollar N150, it was subsidized dollar as the then president didn't want the rate to go unnecessary higher during his time, they kept subsidizing while the then CBN governor and his cronies were reselling to other countries. It even got to a time we were borrowing just to meet up with the fake N150 rate.

Buhari stopped the borrowing, even though there were still subsidizing, we started seeing N355 rate, as the subsidizing money was reducing, the rate continue going up

President Tinubu came, he said we are not going to subsidized the dollar again, let the real price show it's face and the market will take care of the rest.

Without borrowing, without subsidy, the real actual Dollar rate as from 2023 when president Tinubu took over was N1500. As at this time last year, Naira to dollar rate was around N1535. As at today's rate it's around N1560

Naira to dollar rate 2024 N1535
Naira to dollar rate 2025 N1560

Can we see the stability in the naira to dollar rate under this government?

utter bunkum !!

Amotolongbo:
I guess the young man isn’t yet successful and not serious with his life, the reason why he is seriously searching for his father and desperate for his support. If he is successful and serious with his life, the father will be the one searching for him

Nairaland harbors all manner of people! so you have to be successful to look for your father..........even an infant recognizes his father and looks for him! senseless remark

Igbophobia:
Seun, why don't you do something about this? Nairaland is a place you hardly see intelligent discussions unlike what we see elsewhere. I remember even Zimbabwean Diaspora forum how things were there. Let's not talk about Quora and Reddit with tens of millions of users. Is it the standard of education we have in Nigeria ir your mods don't know their jobs? How could someone make pedestrian comment that adds no value to a discourse. We are talking about why intelligent tribes seem to be most maligned in Africa and some obtuse fellow is commenting nonsense?

You are wasting your time with the rabid tribalists of the sadwest that feel they have a score to settle with Ndigbo for daring to challenge their champion emilokan is an open contest! They say igbos are inferior to them but they still will not support Biafra leaving the union! Why........Why do you subject yourself to our presenc in the comatose federation!

The onlly person who tried to express your postulation in his own way was nnamdi Kanu.........and people hated him for it! They hated him with an uncommon passion! The truth is the deliberste marginalization of Ndigbo is inspired, influence and sustained by the most evil people on this planet...The British! Left to their devices no African tribe can cage the Igbo people...is it fulani or is it Yorubas..............Our problem is that we have no idea just how devious and evil Britain is.....just look at what roles they played in instigating the war in Ukraine.........until the collective west is caged by a superior power.......the prospects for Africa remains dim....with such exceptional ethic groups in power in a key country like Nigeria!

Food has landed. No b statistics we go chop today as this number seems not to favour Tinubu. It's not fake stats dear Mansa6.
The numbers don't immediately tell you that over 60 to 75% of FDI then came from oil and gas, while today's FDI has just about 6 to 8% from oil and gas.
Why the change? International oil companies (IOCs) like Shell, Total, and Chevron are divesting onshore assets. Growth in tech, fintech, and renewables has overtaken oil as FDI magnets. Much of today’s oil investments are:
Local-led (Seplat, Oando, Heirs Holdings), financed through debt or equity, not direct foreign inflows.
This is the from consumption to production rhetoric being done already. Today we have trade surplus, not deficit. We're exporting more than importing.

Don't let any sorry opposition deceive you that they will do better. They are just like those boys promising a girl just the tip.

Oga ! billion dollars os like what Counties attract in the United states..........! billion dollars is not upto the research budget of major colleges not to talk of their investments in 1 year! I billon dollars is too poor no matter how the pizza is sliced! so much for the much trumpeted yoruba managerial acumen! The truth is that Yorubas are not in Aso rock to grow Nigeria's economy...........this is an emilokan regime established to loot Nigeria silly on behalf of whatever interests Tinubu represents!

The true yoruba men....we all grew up liking, his longevity and ever young looks is to be studied..........this guy was like my shadow growing up....he pops up in every genre.....from the recorded plays with baba mero or is it baba sala...to papi luwe......I wish him greater health to enjoy his children and grad children!

WizardOfNG:
Aren't you been obtusely and deliberately mischievous here? Isn't Tinubu's work to deregulate and unbundle the power sector totally, so that States can attract private sector partners in productive power PPP solutions, not part of promises to enhance power supply nationally?

Even now, the FG is still investing in power infrastructure. Yet the overarching plan of the Tinubu Government, from the start, is for modular and embedded supply , under a fully deregulated power sector, to be part of the power solutions mix.

If is not healthy to wake daily looking for bad names to give a Dog that you hate to encourage it's lynching. Some of you seem so devoted to senseless, hateful and unobjective criticism that it is clear you have no sincere interest in Nigeria's progress.

Look below at what Lagos is doing since full deregulation of the power sector has now been ratified.

Go and attack your respective Governors to work. PBAT is doing well and we are not fooled by your emergency lovers of the "Zoo" antics.


https://www.nairaland.com/8432581/finnish-firm-bags-deal-build

Na you carry your mouth call your @crime scene@ a zoo! after expropriating the energy resources of the indigenous people of the Lugardian contraption and sharing it amongst your acolytes....you now come out with your ill-digested decentralization of the power sector!

Afterall lagos got high powered gas pipeline as far back as 30 years ago, in fact the same gas pipeline gets to Accra ...but silly me, owerri does not have a gas pipeline network never mind that the richest gas fields in Ohaji is less than 20 miles from Owerri.........let us not talk of Onitsha and Enugu that are hundreds of miles away! The thing abut you crafty and slimy bunch is that you simply do not know what fairness and justice is! Anyway Igbo states are already moving cos we have always been pioneers.............Geometric launched gis osisioma power station 2 decades ago b4 Niheria happened to him...........even now he is finding it hard to get gas but we move all the same INSPITE of the zuuu...! We did it b4 y'all imagined it!

Peliman:
Yaradua the best president since transition to democracy. He has good plans fir the country sadly death took him away from us.

Obasanjo is by far the best Nigerian leader since independence! The facts and figures are there!
