Kemi's parents were from ketu in Benin republic, not Nigeria. Because she's Yoruba doesn't mean she's from Nigeria

Who told you Kemi parents were from Ketu in Benin Republic?

They have always been Nigerians, she also lived and grew up in Lagos before finally moving back to UK

Obidient4life2:
I don't have time to read your long epistle. It's gonna be trash as usual. Brown roof is not a sign of poverty? okay, shanties is a sign of affluence? Absolute trash!

I'm not talking about shanties but brown roofs no Yoruba lives in shanties, worst it is going to be is mud house.

We have our own circumstances and standards in Africa.

Obidient4life2:
If multiple shanties with brown roof is what you call development then so be it.

Mumu like you brown roofs doesn't translate to poverty, the roofs works like any other type of roofs keep away sunlight and rain it only lack aesthetic.

Even mud blocks use in building muds houses have been proven to be more durable than cement blocks, most builders in the village just doesn't care about aesthetic as long as it provide the necessary shelter they are more than satisfy.

You would still see many good buildings with brown roofs in Nigeria, you are ignorant and shortsighted if you believe brown roofs equal to poverty. Furthermore the roofs were shining and bright when they were first attached to the buildings but overtime it get rusted and corroded, you would still see many painted buildings with rusted roofs and the house is great in all ramifications.

You think empty mansions mostly built with proceed of Drugs trafficking and crimes in Igbo land is development? That's one of the reason Igbo youth will keep getting lock up in Asia Prisons for drugs crime and keep trooping out to Yoruba land for survival.

franchasng:
You know nothing about Adenuga family, fake Yoruba boi



Igbos are the joker for success in Nigeria, you better connect or die whinning oh

Tell me about Adenuga Family Nyamirin
So why are there still many wretched Igbo in the East?


Even the ones in my area are Wheel barrows pushers

Till now South East is the poorest region in the south, Yoruba are the one helping you. Without Yoruba land no Igbo man would be successful.

franchasng:
Give me 5 clear examples of how Igbos hate Yorubas aside refusing to vote Buhari that Tinubu endorsed in 2015 and 2019? The same Buhari that Igbos refused to vote even when Buhari picked Igbos as his running mates.


Can you explain to me let me learn.



Most of you are just suffering from mental slavery by political actors.


Igbos played major role in the development of Yoruba states. Go to Lagos, Igbos are major stakeholders in the development of Lagos yet you see such people as your enemies out of envy. Don't be envious of successful people, it impedes progress. One way to attract success in your life is to cherish successful people.


Do you think its a coincidence that most successful Yoruba men married from Igbo tribe or have close ties with Igbos?



Go close to Ooni of Ife let him tell you some hidden secrets you never knew.


Check all the successful Yoruba families and men, some married into Igbo families while some have very close ties with Igbos but the poor, wretched Yorubas prefer to be hating on Igbos based on them say Igbos did this, them say Igbos did that, Tunde kontinu oh

You are really delusional

Most successful Yoruba married Igbo or have connections with Igbo?

Did you see Igbo in Otedola family or Michael Adenuga family? What about Folorunsho Alakija family? Keep saying trash, even the Ooni of Ife married an Ebira woman from Kogi state I'm sure if it t was an Igbo woman, inferiority complex would make you start saying trash about Yoruba.

pleasureosondu:
I'm yet to see a prominent Muslim like Atiku and Tinubu specifically condemn these Islamist jihadists, yet they want Obi to condemn IPOB that's fighting against marginalization or Niger Delta militants that's fighting against the crude oil wells owned by Muslims and stealing the oil revenue. Thunder sc$tter una

Niger Delta militants are not stupid like IPOB killing their people in the name of Biafra or imaginary marginalization , that's how you people also want to steal Niger Delta Oil by including them in your unrealistic Biafra. The Injustice Niger Delta people will face under an Igbo dominated country like Biafra will be comparable to the Slaves Era.

I don't see Adeleke surviving this court case.

okunwaye:
but Ika is a tribe

Ika also mean wicked in Yoruba language but the intonation and pronunciation is different

okunwaye:
what does this mean

Wicked man of Africa.

Johncarlo07:
Ur an educated illiterate. Frm wat u wrote up dere,it's beta to seek a refund for ur education.

Soo to u , winning d Nobel prize is d highest echelon or a referendum for intelligence.
Dere are thousand of pple Wu merit d Nobel prize,bt nva wọn it.

In all of dose awards, politics, sentiments come to play in determining Wu d award will b given too.

Abiy Ahmed, the president of Ethiopia was given d Nobel peace, was he or is he d only one worth d prize dat year?

As an educated individual,dat u are,Dats if u are, ur supposed to possess wat we call deductive and rational reasoning in determining nd drawing conclusions on various issues of life.

U goofed on dis one.

PS: am a Yoruba man

Why are you typing like you are in Pain if you are a Yoruba man?

That’s trait of an impersonator, you are not Yoruba

If Nobel Laurette is not a criteria then what else should they use lol?

The Nobel Laurette Wole Soyinka won was in Academics and Literature and it have more value than the one for Peace.

Yoruba is the only Tribe in Nigeria to have won a Nobel Laurette and Pulitzer, second rated award after Nobel Laurette.


Even in Nigeria if Yoruba claimed second in Education no one can claim first lol.

Wickedfacts:
You can't say you are the most brilliant black tribe but your tribe doesn't have a single Nobel Laureate.

Nobel prizes are for geniuses. If others have several and you don't have a single one, how then are you better than others with several.

I think Igbos should stop allowing illiterates and nonentities tell the Igbo story. Let the elite and the educated champion the Igbo course and cause.

A Yoruba man is currently US deputy secretary of finance and also Tope Awotona founder of Calendly is one of the richest black Africans in USA.

Which Igbo in USA is as rich as Tope Awotona? Or have position as high as Wally Adeyemo in US government? even a Yoruba woman that is currently UK minister of international trade almost become UK Prime Minister recently. We should be seeing articles calling Yoruba geniuses lol

FrankDbadGuy:
They make fun of us, calling us 5%, Obi supporters etc. Show them these pictures of the newspaper headline admitting that we are one of the most intelligent tribes in Africa. Actually, the most intelligent and brilliant. Verdict given by the United States of America academic board. A country where things, despite where you come from. Lol❤️❤️
Btw, VOTE WISELY. He’s the best for now

You guys are really delusional

If Igbo are the most brilliant then Yoruba must be geniuses
Show me a high ranking Igbo in US government as high as Wally Adeyemo US deputy secretary of Finance or an Igbo man as rich as Tope Awotona in USA founder of calendly.

Yoruba are among the richest black Africans in USA and also top government official in US government, but we don't go everywhere claiming shits. What inferiority complex can do does not exist.

henrysam:
No, state House of assembly election will come up February next year. Its just for like 3 months that remains for these assembly members.

Lol you think PDP will win Osun in next election?

You are in for a big shock, even the Election Adeleke won was a close one.

Ayodeoba:
No matter how bad adeleke performed,ipob will support him,just because of their hate for tinubu

Because of the Adeleke family relationship with Igbo, I think Igbo women were married into Adeleke family. They think he is an Igbo man running Osun and he is repping them well, Nyamirin are always spiteful and hateful

This is what Osun Government will be about for the next four years, irrelevant things that will not add a kobo to the state but massage ego and spite oppositions, as if that's what Osun people elected him for.

Campaign is Over it is time to get to work not start clowning, where he will start the development of Osun according to one of his promises should be in public by now but he is busy on irrelevant things that won't improve the lives and economy of the citizens of the state.

Adebayo, Badenoch welcome new trade agreement

The United Kingdom (UK) International Trade Secretary, Kemi Badenoch has revealed that the trade volume between Nigeria and UK hit £5.5 billion at the end of fourth quarter of 2022.

Badenoch disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, at the 8th Economic Development Forum (EDF), where she also reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to strengthen and deepen its relationship with Nigeria.

The EDF was launched by the former Prime Minister, Theresa May and President Muhammed Buhari in August 2018 and holds bi-annually; serving as a platform to address market access barriers, respond to opportunities and challenges of doing business and boost bilateral trade and investment in our two countries.

Since 2018, the EDF has played a crucial role in strengthening the UK-Nigeria trading relationship and through this forum, both countries have been able to unlock finance, facilitate better regulatory link ups, support British and Nigerian businesses and engage on important global issues.

In a statement issued yesterday by the British embassy, the agreement in the EDF Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) came to a close yesterday, stressing that the UK and Nigeria agreed that the Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership would offer an alternative high-profile mechanism to progress bilateral economic issues of mutual strategic importance, under which both sides would continue to work together to resolve market access issues and enhance economic cooperation.

Badenoch said: “Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy and I’m delighted to see our trade and investment links grow, already worth £5.5 billion.

“The total trade in goods and services (exports plus imports) between the UK and Nigeria currently stands at £5.5billion. Of this £5.5 billion: total UK exports to Nigeria amounted to £3.3 billion in the four quarters to the end of Q2 2022; while total UK imports from Nigeria amounted to £2.2 billion in the four quarters to the end of Q2 2022.

“The successes of the EDF over the last four years has helped address crucial market access barriers and boosted our exchanges in key sectors such as Legal and Financial Services.

“I welcome the shared interest in exploring an Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership between our nations that will open up new opportunities for UK and Nigerian business, create jobs and future-proof our economies against a changing world.”

Also, UK Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Nigeria, Helen Grant, said the UK was supporting Nigeria on the path to becoming a higher-growth, more inclusive and more sustainable economy as the 2023 elections approaches.

Grant added: “This is part of a wider push by the UK to drive a free trade, pro-growth agenda across the globe, using trade to drive prosperity and help eradicate poverty. A potential Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership would include a series of commitments to tackle non-tariff market access barriers to deliver tangible results for businesses in both the UK and Nigeria.”

On his part, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Adeniyi Adebayo said the EDF was a fantastic forum, saying it was important that what comes out of the working group builds upon its principles and strengthens its outcomes.

He said he was aware that both Nigeria and the United Kingdom have exchanged policy papers detailing how they wish to proceed, adding that he looked forward to feedback as both papers are reviewed.

Adedayo stressed that increased collaboration with Nigeria and other developing markets was needed to mitigate against both current and potential future supply-chain challenges.

To this end, the minister noted that the introduction of the Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS) was warmly welcomed.

Adedayo added: “The reduction in tariffs on hundreds of everyday products should be a win for both Nigerian exporters and UK consumers who are able to access our products at a lower price.

“In 2021, UK exports to Nigeria were said to be $1.64 Billion and Nigerian exports to the UK $1.12 Billion. Not too far apart. As we move into 2023 it will be good to see the DCTS grow these numbers.

“Increasing bilateral trade is key for both nations and the agreement we are forging must strategically promote its increase. We must continue to work together to resolve market access issues and enhance economic cooperation.”

duality:
Your insecurities made you feel anyone with an opinion you don't like must be from the South East. So you quickly used Anambra as example.

It's simple, You are a Bigot.

Having said that, I know Osun State and have been to various part of the state. It is a rural village. From Osogbo to ileogbo to Esa-oke. They are all primitive.

In my state we don't defend failed governors like the people of Osun.

Mention the name of the shit hole you crawled from and let's compare it to Osun

If you are so proud of your state you would have mentioned it already.

You are the insecure little thang talking shit about Osun as if your state is better than Osun.

leofab:
which state are you from? Ignorance will not kill you.

I'm from Osun state, you want to tell me about my state?

duality:
Osun state is a rural state / village. A state that is almost 50 years behind civilization.

I remember Aregbesola blaming GEJ for not paying salaries. Some of them speaking English on this thread, agreed with him based on ethnic solidarity.

Today, their life hasn't changed. Aragbe moved from governor to minister, converting monies to himself and family. yet those cheering him have not improved in their status.

What a shame. you can see them playing PDP / APC in their responses.

If Osun is a Village then where ever you crawled from must be a shit hole


Osun IGR increased 110 % in Just 4 years because of the same APC government and the investment in the gold minerals resources in the state increased.

Osun you called a village generated 22 billion as IGR in 2022, Anambra home of imaginary billionaires and proclaimed richest in the East could only generate 30 billion naira.

Did you check the Recent Poverty statistics? Osun is among the states with the lowest poverty rate in Nigeria, even people that have lived in the state testified that state have good power supply and it is peaceful.

Maybe you visited a rural village in the Bush when you visited Osun.

Upliftment101:
MAZI CHUKWUEMEKA ADEMOLA ADELEKE OKONKWO WILL BE YOUR GOVERNOR FOR 8 YEARS AND HE WILL RULE WITH THE IGBOS IN OSUN STATE. AN IGBO WILL BECOME THE GOVERNOR OF OSUN STATE AFTER MAZI CHUKWUEMEKA ADELEKE

Why are you guys always projecting your inferiority complex on every matter?

What brought Igbo here? Is Adeleke an Igbo man or does Adeleke sound like an Igbo name to you?

You haven't run your government properly in the East to make it liveable for you, it is now Osun you want to run with Yoruba? When did Osun ancestral home of Yoruba become another no man's land?

Adeleke won because Osun people didn't give a damn about his relationship with Igbo but if he started misbehaving then another 4 years is not far away that is if he survive the case at the court, same way you ruined GEJ is the way you Igbo will ruin Adeleke too and push him to political oblivion.

Osun people are not Lagosians they are more crude, go and see the massacre Hausa people experienced when they crossed their boundary at ile ife. Hopefully you will not learn the hard way

Look at the bride prices and goods in some places in Nigeria

[quote author= post=118746199]Buhari presidential campaign rally in Lagos go back and view the aerial view you posted and compare with these this is Tinubu's main base[/quote]The difference in Buhari rally was that most of the people were standing in the stadium unlike Tinubu that most of the people were sitting in the stadium.

If the campaign was a failure then stop wailing all over Nairaland and let the people reject Tinubu at the poll next year.


These unnecessary propaganda and over hyping is just setting Peter Obi up for a bigger failure in south west next year. You will be shock of the minimal votes Obi will polled in South west next year, it is only Lagos he will get considerable votes because of the Igbo population.

Is it Ekiti that APC recently won that LP will pose any challenge to APC? Or Osun that APC only lost with just 25k votes out of the almost 800,000 total votes and your LP could hardly polled 3000 votes and even a Party without any media presence performed better than Labour Party despite the fact Peter Obi personally attended their mega rally. The pity votes for LP was not even up to 3k

I am more afraid of PDP in South west because of PDP structures, if Atiku is ready to break the bank he will get a lot of votes from South West.

Bastardlyrich:
You are a yoru a Muslim,I know from your comment.
Peleoo una don fail

Did you know that the Predominant religion in Ede where Adeleke got his highest votes from is Islam?

If it was by religion sentiment Adeleke would hardly got any votes from Ede and he would have lost. The joke is on you

onukwube1:
Igbo Man will still be least affected. No matter the economy of the forest, Lion can never eat grass.

They are entrepreneurial in Nature and they will sell according to what they buy. Gain must be made.

You will in the end start begging for give away because you will suffer alone

The delusions of you Igbo is alarming

You talk as if you are the only hustlers or people that work hard in Nigeria. If other regions are not doing well there is no way they will be able to afford whatever you sell and you would also become hungry. Keep bleating

Every regions work hard in Nigeria and makes their money, the customers that patronizes Igbo businesses across Nigeria are not fetching money on trees or through begging they also work hard to makes the money, without them there is no you, they are the one feeding you.

Don't be surprised if Kenneth Okwonko is secretly taking instructions from Tinubu.

Dialpad:
Does Osun have that kind of money

Osun have that kind of money in 2022 Osun Generated 22 billion as IGR alone excluding allocations etc.

I have a feeling Osun would miss this man, Adeleke is a calamity waiting to happen.

2023 is not very far away


We will see your Analysis of why Obi will fail to poll the needed 25% in Lagos

This is what we have always says in this forum whenever Igbo cry as victims, they were guilty of whatever they acused Nigeria government of during Biafra war.

Ojuwku was the first to led the army to squashed people in South South when they were agitating for their own country years later he was leading people in South East for the same thing and even roped in people in South South.

I still remembered the atrocities Biafra soldiers committed in Edo state and Benin when they took over the middle west, Ojuwku appointed Albert Okwonko a fellow Igbo as governor of Edo state before Nigerian Army led by colonel Benjamin Adekunle liberated middle west. That's why you will never see a real Benin man that know history support Biafra because they know it is like signing up for slavery under Igbo.
