IGBOPROMISE1: Didn’t the army chief make a show of relocating to Benue state last week?
I’m sure by now Christian middle-beltans old enough to remember the uncivil war will rue the day they chose to side with the hegemonic alliance to fight the Igbo/Biafrans! I doubt if given the opportunity to do things all over again, that they would make the same mistake!
Tribalism or ethnic nationalism is like strong alcohol.........it inebriates you and makes you lose all sense of good judgement! Cos of tribalism against Ndigbo, Nigerians have lost all sense of self -preservation, even the politicians doing all the looting have lost focus on the existential threat that the maurauding Fulanis pose..........and instead are laser- focused on Simon Ekpa's trial in Finland and Kanu's trial in Abuja!
Nigeria is not collapse-proof! Under the right conditions this nation may just collapse!
OneCandleAway: Do you want Abati to be lying miserably like onanuga and lai Muhammed? Yes Abati wasn't very goodat the job because even he himself knew some policies or govt decisions he had to defend doesn't make sense.
jonathan had a far better economic management than the disaster we have now! we all know those that used Boko haram to destabilize his governement! Thay all know themselves too........

IGBOPROMISE1: Just watched a clip of Uyo and its environs, and i was impressed with how well attention was paid to landscaping and maintaining of greenery, as well as how neat and litter-free the roads were. I feel these areas are where our cities in the south-east are lacking, and where improvements can be made. We may not have the funds to get Julius Berger to build all or most of our roads, but keeping the ones we have spotless, road marked and free of litter/sand (including the gutters), as well as landscape the road sides and trim wild and overgrowing grasses are things that cost little to do.
We just don't take care of our environment as well as we should, and this takes away from any efforts done in urban renewal like road construction. Watching the clip, you notice that when a road is built in Uyo, care is taken to level and landscape both sides of the road, including the median, and carpet grass and ornamental trees/shrubs are planted which are maintained on a regular basis. Even outside the main Uyo city, greenery on the road sides are trimmed and well maintained!
So we should try and improve the environmental ambience and eco-friendly credentials of our cities. Kudos to Uyo for having a neat city, It's not yet the finished product, but as it stands now, it's the neatest state capital in Nigeria!
I am simply tired of complaining about the lethargic way the Anambra commissioner of works supervises the finishing aspect of most road projects.............the roadsides are almost always abandoned....with heaps of mud and laterite left where the bulldozers left them! nobody cares about backfilling the sides of the road so that rainwater is able to flow into the gutters............next thing the rain runoff digs its own channels behind the gutter! We allow these mideastern-owned firms to get away with tardy finishings!
Here in the US it is the duty of property owners adjoining the side of the roads to cut and tend the lawns planted therein but the initial planting of the lawns is done by the government! If you allow elephant grass to grow there or even next to your property wall...you are given citations and pay penalties......if the citation is unpaid you are taken to court and more penalties added! I have had my car towed away right from the side of my house just because I parked in the wrong direction.........Anambra state government can earn billions by issuing such citations daily....cos our people are too headstrong! I agree with you 100% enuff of this tardiness....its becoming annoying!
I love the finishing of the Ekwulobia market and bus park! That is the way forward!
Godjone: Reno, Wike, umahi and the vultures tapping from the trillions of naira wasted on coastal highway robbery will have their days in the court of law with chains on their legs. They should continue enjoying their temporary moment of Passover only time shall tell
They have not jammed the 1000 plus 1 million creeks and streams in gummy swamp of Niger delta and they are already skipping terrain! Any mumu that believes that Nigeria can complete 700 km of concrete hiway thru the delta is a mumu man! Do they know the number of bridges and land filling that will entail!
Why not simply join the Lagos end to Sagamu/Benin highway..........and join the Calabar end to the East West road and save Nigeria the stress and money on this useless project!
zero8zero: Sit down there, let bitter people be lying to you that investors are not coming to Nigeria. We have investors in Lithium, steel, livestock, we now have the largest medical center in west African. An empty barrel makes the loudest noise, keep making noise on social media, hating on your country. Tinubu is not a noise maker, he is a doer. Baba is working all round, making things happen.
After God na Tinubu ( where's PressMyButton sef )
we also have fulani bandits and boko haram...raping and pillaging innocent Nigerians and tying up our soldiers like ileya rams being prepped for sallah day slaughter! kizz da truth!
gidgiddy: I noticed that in the thread that was put on front page, where former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, is purported to have said he only claimed to be Igbo for political reasons, something was left out
I noticed that the person who posted the video carefully edited out the last one minute of the interview so people would not see what Ameachi said in its entirety. This is where the last words of Amaechi on the Igbo/Ikwerre issue:
Whether I'm an Igbo man or not is immaterial at this point in time. Again, I also argue with my brothers in the Ikwerre community, our cultures are similar, our language is also similar, the kind of food we eat is the same. So why would you deny being an Igbo man?
Scroll to the last minute of the interview below to see this part of the interview that agents of division cut off.
Na ronu trolls edit am off.........they want a leg in Port Harcourt by any means.......however Port Harcourt will always retain its Igbo heritage ! Aba and Port Harcourt is not much farther than Lekki and Ojo alaba.........Rivers as a whole is dominated by Ndigbo......it has always been so and will continue to be so!
DomPerignon: For every action there is an equal but opposing reaction. This is natural universal law.
The once liberal Yoruba populace is now making a 180 diametric shift to Ethnic nationalism in the face of what is IBO Marxism.
IBO Marxism isn't new. You can all thank Zik for it.
But why do Marxists and all their hydraheaded isms like Socialism, liberalism , communism and Lennism all hate and oppose Nationalism ?
The answer is simple and its because Nationalism is the very antithesis of Marxism.
Marxism like communism are an aberahation of what they claim to be against.
As Marxists claim to want to usher in an ultra liberal society devoid of ethnic , racial and class distinctions but at its core, Marxism is a tool to disarm others of their ethnic and national identities towards having an external group seize total control of society. This is why Marxists are against race , ethnic , national and even religious identity.
All Marxists revolutions have always led to an ethnic group seizing power for themselves.
To compare with communism which claims to be against capitalism , communism owes its inception and spread from western capitalists. To every capitalists out there, China is the ideal slave society were labour can be milked for next to nothing and wide profits made. Communism is extreme capitalism . unlike western capitalism that has the 1℅ billionaire class and a thriving middle class , communist societies have a 0.001℅ Trillioniare class with every one else scraping the barrel in abject poverty. In Soviet Russia, wealth and property ownership was criminalised but that didn't stop the Jewish overlords from raping that country dry. Like the slave era of early America , those who cashed out of Russia's enslavement are still the oligarchs of that somewhat liberated nation.
These are the contradictions of what Marxism represents and its a decietful mechanism to disarm ethnic identity while pushing ones own ethnic agenda.
So its only natural that the Yorubas who are not foolish to wake up from their inebriated liberal stupor state.
patrickcollins: She never cheated, only that Jamb's scamming tactics was exposed. What stopped jamb from revealing her questions papers and the marking. They tried to bully some of the candidates this year only that they scammed lots of them from Lagos and five south east states
they wanted to do their Irev magic but God no gree dem!
Mobilize 2 battalions..........with enuff Amor personnel carriers and fighting vehicles and give them 3 months to ossupy all the villages over run by herdsmen over the years...........Benue and Tivi gragra is always reserved for Ndigbo but to mobilize and get back their villages is an uphill task!
lagosian1960: Terror in Mushin (Part II): Another Night, Another Attack — Ogungbaiye and Martins Streets Fall Victim
Mushin, Lagos — June 2, 2025
Just one night after the brutal murder of a teenager at No. 9 Omoniyi Street, the nightmare in Mushin continues. The most recent attack occurred last night on Ogungbaiye Street and Martins Street, further deepening the community’s sense of fear, abandonment, and outrage.
According to residents, four houses were invaded in the middle of the night by the same violent gang that has been terrorising the area for more than a year. Families were forcefully awakened and robbed at gunpoint. Some victims who attempted to resist were hacked with machetes and sustained serious injuries.
What makes this latest incident even more devastating is the widespread destruction left behind. Over twenty vehicles parked along Ogungbaiye and Martins Streets were vandalised — windows smashed, tyres destroyed, and in some cases, vehicles stripped of their parts. The sheer scale of the attack has left the street looking like a war zone, with broken glass and shattered lives littering the morning aftermath.
Once again, there was no response from the authorities. No patrols arrived. No investigation followed. Residents are no longer just afraid; they are losing faith entirely in the institutions meant to protect them. This is no longer about theft. It is sustained violence, meant to terrorise. It is coordinated and repeated, and it is happening night after night.
The residents of Mushin are exhausted. They have shouted. They have written. They have begged. Yet they continue to be ignored. Every call to the police rings unanswered. Every email to the state security address vanishes without reply. People are dying. Children are being murdered. Homes are being violated. Lives are being destroyed.
When will the government attend to our cries? This is no longer mere criminality. This is terrorism — and it is unfolding in a state with a functioning government.
If this can happen in Mushin without consequence, it can happen anywhere. The silence of those in power has become complicity. We refuse to stay silent. We demand protection. We demand justice. We demand to live without fear in our own homes.
Mushin is under siege, and the world must pay attention.
— A Worried Mushin Resident
Have Mahmuda bandits infiltrated Mushin where is amotekun when you need them?
The slowpoke that fielded this report actually saw the waybill with ESN and IPOB written on the list....with their address and phone numbers clearly written down! Nigerians have to be the most dumb people this side of the universe! All they fantasize morning ,nooon and night is how to subjugate Ndigbo! Ngwanu produce the same outrage for fulanis that are carving a muderous path all across Nigeria ...for where? Instead they kowtow to them........shey the Emir Katsina guards almost finished Tinubu's body guards did you hear pimm from ndiyoruba.........let that happen in Igboland..........these tribal bigots will be up in arms aginst ndigbo!
Zionmdde: If they say "Lagos is smelling", this is the best way to respond to the critics and not playing tribalism card. And when monthly sanitation is imposed, arrest defaulters and let them be mandated to clean up Lagos. Simple
simple and short.......I careless if its Alaba or computer village just enforce the sanitation laws not making ethnic innuendos! Fashola never cleaned up lagos by giving excuses!
Ttalk: Growing economy is beyond container economic reasons and government policy covers so many areas beyond profit making.
Israel developed her agricultural sector not because it has comparative advantage but because it is a security leverage to develop mechannised agriculture in a face of limited land and hostile neighbors.
Many of those items you listed above can well be developed and turned into profitable venture.
Malaysia doesn't have a better comparative advantage in Palm oil production until they develop that crop out seed they got in Nigeria.
Nigeria leaders are bad but it would be worse with the kind of mindset you and your people have.
Years of importation have killed the innovative and entrepreneur talent of Nigeria people, your traders mindset is not same mind you use to build thriving industries, you are used to instant gratification but building industry and a nation requires delay gratification
Yet Ndigbo have the most developed indigenous manufacturing sector...''ndi you and your people''..........!! stereotyping and over generalization does not help what is otherwise a decent contribution! In the automobile industry........we have in the southeast at least 10 local auto assembly industries! If we had other support industries like rubber processing, tyre making, plastic industry, aluminium and steel making industries those automobile industries in the southeast will be household names by now!
Putindbutt: Enemies of the state, you go wail tire. You love terrorists but God go dey put una to shame.
Your nation is a borderline failed state! I can drive from Accra to the North of Ghana.......I can drive from Cape Town to Eswatini , I can drive from downtown Indy in the Hoosier state to Miami Florida....All in peace and good roads! Oga Ronu Owomida..........Can you drive from Lagos through Mokwa to Maiduguri? .......No YOU CANNOT !..........Enjoy the disaster you brought upon yourself since 2015! Suffer head!
Depriest2020: Tinubu is a forgiving man, in spite of all what Reno said about him. He knows how to play politics. I pray our Igbo brothers learns how to play politics without emotions, forgive and move on.
Igbos moved the day after the elections............you people are the ones to let go of bitterness! Immediately tinubu entered Aso rock you guys went on a demolition of Igbo properties In Lagos.........intimidating them at every turn....uns don tire na! You ronus talk like Igbos did not vote for Obasanjo twice, vote for yaradua and voted for Jonathan twice! Ronus only vote yorubas or fulanis.....come back when you vote for an Igbo man acrosss south west
Which kind uneducated narration is this one na? The level and quality of education in Nigeria keeps going down, listening to this lady is like walking on broken bottles! It is a painful ordeal! You listen to youth from other English speaking nations and its almost a delight.......our youth need to start listening to themselves speak...know what your oral delivery is like to a listener ...and then make listening to the radio especially radio Nigeria news broadcasts a habit ....so tht you learn how to SPEAK ENGLISH !
IgboProgress: The ground is probably too hard for the grasses to grow or the grasses aren't getting the right kind foods... And the right grasses suitable for the environment should also be considered.
By the way, the color of the soil does suggest it needs more orginic manure to make it dark and rich in nutrients.. They can just get the dark soil from somewhere else or apply the manure directly and transplant new grasses to cover all the exposed ground.
Not that difficult to create nutrients-rich soil. They could do it on large scale probably with tractors or small/medium scale by gathering the red soil together with different organic materials like soft plants, animal wastes, etc, and allow them to decompose and become dark, then spread the soil back. This is part of the reason oyibo grasses tend to look lush green and well spread out. They feed their grasses well. I hope people can go into this business and recieve patronage from governments, estates, companies, etc
Finishing and landscaping are still a challenge for Soludo's works ministry but in time they should get it right! However, my pet peeve with the Soludo administration is the lack of a town planning philosophy that runs through the contracts and projects in our major cities ..........I noticed that the local contractors in Ekwuluobia seem to be slightly better in finishing and as a matter of fact, the designs of the projects seem to be better thought out....just saying..........Onitsha has had some road projects but the city is not really vibing for me like Awka! i dunno....
The love the Fulanis have for political power is just nauseating! Police ought to be producing drones and telecommunication gadgets are busy dreaming of something else that is altogether meaningless!
