I noticed the op has quickly removed the picture of muslims prayer session for the dead, lol.
The propaganda no work. In an effort to prove a point, he ended up proving the contrary. Lies and more lies is just what is being spread all over.
Lol, can't stop laughing
you think this is waheed giwa and taofeek oluomo demolishing the properties of nigerians in lagos,,,,,,,,we will smoke all your closeted jihadi supporters of APC in APC ! Hypocrites
Nemere2020: https://x.com/ShehuSani/status/1984580790508810512?t=WeinUVNi2Y6WXIZY1L8jNg&s=19[/quote]This fake activists and all the fake xtian pastors in CAN are the people confusing Nigerians.........yet millions of surviving christian middle belt people have lost their ancestral lands and are in refugee camps..........if there is no land grab of xtian lands , why is the government keeping them in refugee camps, whilst foreign jihadists roam their lands, these people just make me sick!
Nigerian government must be given minimum deliverables and benchmarks to prevent US military action....
(1) Stop the fulani banditry and arrest the savages
(2) resettle xtian refugees in their ancestral lands
(3) Pay compensation to surviving families and rebuild destroyed xtian communities
(4) Identify closeted jihadists embedded in Nigerian govt and military and turf them out!
(5) release all xtians in detention who took up arms to defend their land!
(6) the US must ensure that Nigerians are giving the right to run their own police force in their state and local govt with appropriate federal checks and balances!
helinues: It's the same way Trump made false accusations about the land settlement in South Africa, same he and his government are making false accusations about Christian genocide in Nigeria
Just some days ago, some Muslim worshippers was attacked, who is counting their own scores?
If the Muslim are the most affected with the insecurity in North, abeg who is killing the christians in Southern part of Nigeria?
Do the kidnappers, ritualists, armed robbers even rogue police officers segregate people before killing them in Southern Nigeria because those are the majority of the culprits of killing people in Southern Nigeria.
Herdsmen that might have been used as an excuse in Southern Nigeria , their activities have almost reduced to zero.
So who are the people killing the southern Christians in Nigeria?
The US governement is aware of the not so well hidden false flag operations the Nigerian governement security organisations have been conducting in the southeast ...from the prison break in owerri in 2021 , to the insertion of asari dokubo's special forces into imo state and Anambra state....it has been a well oiled counter insurgency against govt sponsored 5th columnists in ESN and IPOB, they hate IPOB because the group had the effrontery to call out fulani expansionism aided by yoruba corrupt press and xtian pastopreneurs parading as men of god....everyone of them is on the take in nigeria!
DadaEleniyan: Christian Genocide in Nigeria : Let’s Be Sincere For Once!
I have been reading and hearing people say there’s no such thing as Christian Genocide and I honestly cannot stomach such double standard and pathetic dishonesty.
When Boko Haram went to Chibok to kidnap Christian Girls to impregnate them, what was that?
When people killed an Igbo lady on a Friday in Sabo, Kano for blasphemy against Muhammad, what was that?
On 12 May 2022, when Deborah Samuel Yakubu, a second-year Christian college student, was stoned to death by a mob of Muslim students in Sokoto, after being accused of blasphemy against the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the state Governor even supported it, Atiku Abubakar a whole Presidential candidate tweeted against it and was pressured to delete it, what was that? Did her killers not jubilate and even show off publicly about how they unalived her?
Did Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of Sokoto who wants to be President of Nigeria prosecute the killers then?
When Boko Haram first started their chain of sporadic killings and attacks, were Christians and churches not their targets? During Goodluck Jonathan era, did they not hide their ammunitions in people’s houses and in mosques when the JTF were seriously hunting for these criminals? Northerners covered them because obviously, their attacks were targeted at the Northern Christians only. Do these Boko Haram not attack both Christians and Muslims now? During the clampdown of Boko Haram in the north during Jonathan’s time, did late Buhari and Nasir Elrufai not say an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North?
During Nasir Elrufai’s tenure as Governor of Kaduna state, did “Bandits” not attack only SOUTHERN KADUNA which is predominantly (if not entirely) Christian freely and continuously for 8 years?
In fact, a Christian local Community Head was abducted and eventually executed along other innocent people while Nasir Elrufai was preparing for his second tenure as Governor. It was just a coincidence that the late Kajuru Village Chief was said to be the most vocal among Southern Kaduna Christian Chiefs whose offices Elrufai annexed under Northern Kaduna Emirates at the time.
I can keep recounting and recounting the impunities and heinous crimes against humanity perpetrated in Northern Nigeria 🇳🇬 under the guise of religion both by Northern Political Elites, Oligarchs, Governments and even individuals but of course “Let’s not Open Old Wounds”.
The thing about evil is: today it might be interesting because it is not directed at you, but when it entirely consumes your enemies or neighbours, like a monster, like a wild untamed hungry beast, it will come hunting for you and by then, like your consumed neighbours, you will need saving, you will cry for help.
The religious intolerance in the northern part of Nigeria has caused a lot of havoc for too many decades that it has subtly started to spread to the south like Oyo, Osun and major Yoruba speaking North Central communities where there’s presently continuous agitation, debates and counter debates for the adoption of Sharia laws and Courts.
Does this have anything to do with the current administration? Absolutely not! Does that change the fact that there’s severe hostility against Christians in the North of Nigeria? Absolutely not!
Let’s call a spade a spade and not a fancy name.
This is part of the impediments to Nigeria’s growth and prosperity as it stands today.
In one hand, The Nigerian constitution states that Nigeria is a secular state in Article 10 of the 1999 Constitution, which prohibits the government from adopting any religion as a state religion. Article 10: "The Government of the Federation or a State shall not adopt any religion as State Religion". Secular status: While the constitution doesn't use the word "secular," this article is the legal basis for Nigeria being officially a secular state with no official state religion.
However, in another hand : Section 275 of the 1999 Constitution gives state governments the power to establish Sharia Courts of Appeal. These courts primarily have jurisdiction over civil and personal status matters, such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance, for Muslims who choose to use them.
Yet! These states have extended Sharia into CRIMINAL LAW which has no basis in the Nigerian constitution. The claim that Sharia applies only to Muslims is in its entirety an absolute LIE and a FACADE as non-Muslims have in practice faced pressure and harassment from Sharia enforcement bodies like Hisbah in Kano and there have been documented instances of them being subjected to Sharia regulations.
This confusion and inability of Nigerians to have these discussions in a bid to avoid more religious clashes and persecution is one thing that requires proper deliberation in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
While many Nigerians believe that Nigeria is a secular country where people are free to practice whatever religion they choose to believe in as per the official constitution, other Nigerians and the outside world see Nigeria as an Islamic country. Of course, this can also be justified by Nigeria being an active member nation of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Countries).
The current government is complicit because of the act of omission...... What is the Nigerian army for? The xtian refugees must be allowed to resettle in their ancestral lands that have been occupied by the useless fulani bandits
Ezeama400: The same thing Nnamdi Kanu has been hammering since 2013 that made Nigeria to tag him a war monger..
Why would you leave an aggressor and start attacking a victim ?
Nigeria government is very wicked, and they must pay for it when the right time comes
whenever I see a Black African especially the naija types.......I just feel like throwing up! Puke inducing individuals,scammers and hypocrites........We are not a good people, especially the Ronu crowd in Aso rock now! They can never tell the truth but will lie to get an advantage over their country men! You left fulanis causing mayhem and detain a freedom fighter for close to 5 years now!
una still dey watch that caricature of the real super Eagles.......I cannot even name 3 players in that yeye team! these are no ball jugglers but a collection of physically fit men pretending to be soccer players! ..............thrashy eagles!
ariesbull: Tension around the Igbo presence in Lagos often comes from a mix of history, economics, politics, and identity, not from any single cause. It's important to speak about patterns and perceptions — not blanket labels on any group.
Why some people may envy the Igbo in Lagos
Common perceptions include:
✅ Business success & economic competitiveness Many Igbo are known for entrepreneurship and trading networks. Their visibility in markets, property acquisition, and commerce can create admiration — and sometimes envy.
✅ Fast upward mobility The Igbo cultural emphasis on self-made success, apprenticeship (Igba-Boi), and owning property can lead to rapid economic advancement. For some, this becomes a point of comparison and resentment.
✅ Strong community support systems Communal investment, unions/associations, and apprenticeship systems help Igbo succeed collectively, which can be seen as an advantage by outsiders.
---
Why some fear or feel threatened
These feelings come from:
⚠️ Competition for land and business space Real estate and markets in Lagos have long been competitive. When Igbo individuals buy land or dominate business districts, some locals may feel their space shrinking.
⚠️ Political influence worries During elections, fears surface that Igbo voting blocs could shift power dynamics in Lagos — a city deeply tied to Yoruba political history.
⚠️ Historical scars Echoes of pre- and post-Biafra tensions sometimes show up in rhetoric, even generations later.
⚠️ Cultural protectionism Some fear cultural dilution — Lagos is historically Yoruba, but it's now a multi-ethnic megacity. Fear of losing cultural control or demographic dominance can show up as hostility.
---
Underlying truth
This is less about ethnicity itself and more about:
Competition for power & resources
Identity politics
Urbanization pressures
Historical memory
Economic inequality
Where groups live and thrive together under pressure, friction can arise.
---
Important perspective
Despite the tension narratives online, millions of Yoruba and Igbo coexist peacefully in Lagos, do business together, intermarry, and build friendships daily.
Social media amplifies the loudest voices — often the extreme ones — but everyday life in Lagos is more complex and cooperative.
---
In short
They may fear and envy the Igbo in Lagos because the Igbo are seen as:
Highly entrepreneurial
Economically mobile
Organized & community-driven
Politically significant
Culturally confident
But ultimately, it reflects larger issues about identity, space, and power in a fast-growing city — not innate qualities of any group.

Igbos should go home and be competitive from here.........in our own land! Thhey thought they were doing us by stifling infrastructural development in the southeast but they are now tired but they are pained to do the right thinh by developing the Onne port for maximum commercial use and building a RORO terminal there as well! let us replicate trade fair at the Abia border near Obigbo...........we will have access to more international flights from port harcourt and the sea port in onne is less than 45 minutes away! leave lagos for the agbados abeg!
Nigeria’s four largest tribes remain: Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Ijaw.
The Ijaw have what Nigeria feeds on — the crude oil that sustains the nation, stretching from the Ijaws of Apoi, Arogbo and Furupagha in Ondo to the Ijaws of Ibeno and Ibaka in Akwa Ibom.
The Hausa have the population strength to dominate nearly every ministry and political structure across Nigeria.
The Igbo, on the other hand, have always had a strong voice — one that has never truly aligned with Nigeria since independence. Their persistent agitation could end Nigeria if they had both the population and political influence of the Hausa or Yoruba. But power in Nigeria flows differently: whenever the North considers handing leadership to the South, it usually goes to the Yoruba — not because of merit alone, but because of fear of the Igbo.
To those plotting coups or seeking to disrupt the state, stop it. Such actions would only scatter the fragile unity that remains — birthing the Arewa Republic, Biafra Republic, Ijaw Republic, Oduduwa Republic, and others with no shared foundation.
The Hausas are weary of those who live differently from them. The Igbos are weary of the Hausas. Every group is searching for an exit — except the Yoruba, who, for now, are the only tribe still holding Nigeria together.
@Ditari of Ijaw
Ijaw wey no reach 5 million ! Even the so called Ijaw state bayelsa........no pass 8 local government! Ogogoro no good!
Rubbish.......did northern military rulers not share more than 60% 0f Nigeria 's 774 local government to the north.........did the northern military junta not give the north 19 states to the south's 17 states.........turning Ndigbo to overnight 'minority '.........ndiala !
The North should enjoy the inequity they helped to create! Ndi uchu
As I post this....Northerners are dying of hunger even in a rich state like Kano.........a region thst has produced more leaders.......I have scant pity for them.......Yorubas have not learnt from the North...they will be in the same boat very soon!
Cajal: He lacks constructive intellectual engagement
You budget 1 billion dollars on Lagos ports ALONE..! billion dollars that supposedly is our commonwealth and budget exactly 0 dollars on the remainder eastern ports......and you want other Nigerians to keep mute........Yoruba people just lack a sense of social justice and fairness!
Same thing is going on in the aviation sector.......APC is spending 750 million dollars to modernize Lagos Airport but Enugu airport has been concessioned to the private sector........who now have to struggle to raise funding to complete southeast only international airport! Ditto Onne port .....Maersk is spending it's own money to develop the port ....where is govt money when it comes to eastern Nigeria......missing as usual!
johnmartus: What's wrong there? The appointees are they not Nigerians or they are from where? And besides I'm seeing like two or 3 igbos name there how come?
na wa o ...3 igbos sef ! with the kind of hatred for igbo in Tinubu regime...........dey are capable of appointing only 1 igbo person....and i use to yab fulani for igbo bigotry not knowing the intellectual basis for Igbo marginalisation is from somewhere in the sadwest!
Bestmanfornow: Ekwulobia, Anambra State's fourth city, has undergone comprehensive transformation under Governor Soludo into a modern city; may Anambra State continue to flourish.
ThroneNGamez: https://x.com/GeneralSnow_/status/1981631743468900635?t=xpPrdejYzWeemVHFWc8UYg&s=08[/quote]I said it that the case of the Lagos state commissioner of environment and demolition wahab giwa is inconsequential in the grand scale of things.........he is just a pawn! His chapter has been completely closed, the big masquerades have taken the stage....make him go rest! The douchebag and his occultic cohorts feel they can erase over 130 years of igbo excellence in Lagos overnight, that his fantasy is about to turn into his worst nightmare! Nevertheless Ndigbo have to work on themselves too.....putting all your eggs in one basket will not cut it, think home and invest your money there! Whatever that is left in Lagos must be minimal and be at peace with the majority of peaceloving lagosians.........as for the ronu crowd......their time will also go!
Savenigeria2023: It’s not LAGOS choir OP. These superstars emerge from different local congregations from across the country
Enough of these unnecessary tribal colorations
I do not even know what he is crowing about...............Mercy chinwo is a Port Harcourt Girl......sef! All of a sudden Lagos wants to become a cosmopolitan city again...i thought Lagos was for agbado politicians only!
IGBOSON1: Recently, we saw Ethiopia launch the massive GERD dam that would supply more than 5,000 megawatts of electricity to the country and its neighbours. It was built at a cost of $5 billion and the funds were sourced by gov't issued bonds as well as remittances from Ethiopians in diaspora. The funding model used for the GERD dam is what i have always advocated for funding critical economy enabling infrastructure in Alaigbo/south-east! Nigeria receives on average about $20 billion yearly in diaspora remittances, and a modest estimation of the Igbo component of these remittances could be put at $5 billion....though i reckon it's much more! The Ethiopians were committed and patient enough to raise $5 billion over a specified period, and i feel this same commitment and patience could be replicated by Ndigbo to raise funds for the New Enugu City project and other infrastructure in the state. I'm referring to Enugu specifically because i've come to realise that it's presently difficult if not impossible to have a pan-Igbo approach to this funding initiative because the region in led by a lot of insular and inward-focused governors who prefer to work in silos and don't have a pan-Igbo worldview or approach to development! This is why i'm narrowing my attention specifically to Enugu, and Abia also, as i feel cautiously optimistic about governance in these two states, and feel their governors have the capacity and the trust of the public to drive this funding initiative! Both states have done sometjing similar, but on a smaller scale, with their security trust funds.
Ordinarily, the SEDC (south east development commission) would have been the best option for driving this funding model on a regional level, but has anyone heard anything from them lately? I was unimpressed at the time SEDC was inaugurated because i know it's just more of the same....just playing to the gallery, and the usual motion-without-movement that has seen Nigeria stagnate economically since the 70s and punch way below its weight!
So anyone close to Mbah or Otti could help us show this post to them so they can help kickstart the process ASAP as time is not on our hands and the rest of the world is fast leaving us behind! This could be a state infrastructure funding initiative, or it could be regional, though as i've already stated i don't have much faith in all the governors of the region and SEDC being serious and committed enough or having the capacity to see this through to a successful conclusion!
Like Ethiopia has done, Enugu state could use gov't issued bonds and diaspora remittances to raise at least $2 billion over the remaining 6 years of Mbahs' governance! This could be used for the New Enugu city project, a state rail network, a power plant, as well as investments in education and health separate from but complimentary to the states budgetary provisions for the sectors.
$2 billion dollars is beyond Enugu's capacity........even Lagos nor abuja can raise that level of funding on its own! why not start with 50 million dollars.............all raised as an investible fund with an estimated ROI! or better still sell the fund as per treasury bills!
fergie001: The annoying part is that an Ikwuano son was House of Reps member there from 2015-2023.
This same man is a Board member in the North East Development Commission yet that road has been a deathtrap since the mid-2000s.
A Minister under Buhari was also from that LGA but only tarred into his own compound, yet on the same road you have a Federal University and 3 other Federal Institutes. Make Una continue.......
Otti, you dey try!
the people no get name.........learn to call out these useless politicians!
gidgiddy: Deji Adeyanju was right about one thing, its a waste of time fighting for the rights ordinary Nigerians. This present generation have fallen in love with their chains
The typical nigerian generation z is the most brainwashed ever! Near useless in mental exertion.......imagine still parroting that Mungo Park discovered the River Niger.....in 2025°
The antidote to military coup is good detribalized administration! FULL STOP....OBJ ruled 8 years without a whisper of coup....cos he was essentially a nationalist.....he had every ethnic nationalism in his group especially Southeast..........this Yoruba Yoruba politics of agbados will not move the nation forward......every one must row in the same Direction
Heavy rainfall in Lagos alone will tear the coastal road apart.
wait till the high salt content of the coastal area deal with the reinforced steel bars and concrete...............instead of using fibreglass rebars........anyone that has driven over a bad concrete pavement knows what the experience is like.........it will wreck your car and bone structure simultaenously!
A viral video has surfaced showing the Benin–Asaba Expressway in a devastating condition after hours of heavy rainfall. The once-busy highway has now turned into a muddy, flooded nightmare, with deep potholes, stranded vehicles, and frustrated commuters battling to move through the chaos.
Drivers and passengers could be seen wading through knee-deep water as trucks and cars got stuck for hours, causing major traffic gridlock. Many residents have taken to social media to lament the poor state of federal roads and the lack of proper drainage systems in the area.
The video has since sparked outrage, with citizens calling on both the Edo and Delta State governments, as well as the Federal Ministry of Works, to take immediate action and fix the collapsing road before it becomes completely impassable.
🎥 Watch the full clip to see how terrible the situation has become — and hear what stranded motorists had to say.
oh you mean the minister of lagos coastal high way.............una mumu neva do? How dull can a people be!
FreeStuffsNG: US national debt surpasses a record $38 trillion The figure amounts to roughly $111,000 of debt for every person in the US, think tank says.
The USA can never fully pay back her debt ! The only option is to reset the Dollar by massively devaluing the currency! The consequences of that is .....the 38 trillion dollars nominal value of the debt may actually be 3 -5 trillion dollars in real terms.....a reset will happen......it's implications will be monumental!
