PoliticsRe: Igbos Making Us Proud Abroad - Hadiza Elrufai by ElevationD: 3:28pm On Aug 04, 2025
cutecommend:
Igbos are a great tribe. They are the ones who lost almost everything during the civil war and today, they have several billionaires and wealthy people.

Millions or thousands of Igbos died during the civil war.

Whoever is insulting the Igbos, should know that is a tribe that lost almost everything during the civil war and bounced back again.

While it is good for Igbos to live responsibly home and abroad, and for the bad guys doing drugs to stop.

The Igbos have many fine ladies too.
Just like the Chinese, you can find Igbos in all corners of the earth, prospering. Just like the Chinese, Igbos create wealth wherever they are or go. They are very visionary. The understand the secret of wealth making. They come around you and also make you wealthy. They see the opportunities that others do not see.

Just as the Chinese build China towns, bringing technology and finance, Igbos bring experience and wealth wherever they find themselves. The Igbo apprenticeship system is now well recognized as a model to be adopted in creating wealth. They developed societies and make everyone great, irrespective of tribe, skin and religion.

If you no be Igbo person, you dey miss plenty!

FamilyRe: You Are Not Lazy, You Are Just Unfocused by ElevationD: 12:22pm On Aug 04, 2025
A lazy person is a lazy person, while an unfocused person is who he/she is…unfocused.

A lazy person is that one who simply is not desirous to be useful. A person who is not able to take the initiative in life and easily proscratinates. That person who waits for others to act on his/her behalf. The person who lies on the bed and expects his next meal as manner from heaven. The have no set goals, no plans and no ambition. A close look at some youths whose fathers own properties is an example. Their fathers die living their houses in dilapidated states. The lazy person takes over and never cares to improve on the structure. All he does is to trouble tenants to pay their rents. When rents are paid, the lazy person spends the money on paraga, etc.

An unfocused person is that person who has targets but never look to achieve their targets. They have goals but never set to achieve their goals. They also procrastinate and are generally indecisive.

INEC has recognized Nenadi Usman as the authentic chairperson of Labour Party based on Supreme Court judgment which is final.

INEC is also likely to accept candidates from Nenadi Usman supervised congress.

Peter Obi is now fully in charge of the Labour Party.

I was telling some Agbado people here but they chose rather to excite themselves in ignorance and I let them have fun.

Obi is coming!
Have you seen the name of Nenadi Usman on the INEC portal? I thought INEC was running round in circles since over the matter. Can you confirm please?

What is really wrong with this Kemi BadLuck of a Yoruba woman sef?

The word truly is “demarketing”. So far we are waiting for the denouncement of the likes of Bayo Onanuga and Reno Omokri. One recalls that the accused Peter Obi of demarketing the country when he was speaking the truth. Kemi Badenoch also spoke her mind in her experience in Shagamu and we are waiting for tribalists to respond, if they can.

If given the opportunity, the woman will even deny her tribe!

She appears to hate that name Kemi, but finds it difficult to change, since she had been known with that name politically. That name must surely annoy her. She visited the same Nigeria last year and met very senior government officials. I cannot forget the heavy hailing from her people.

By the way, was it so bad in Shagamu then?

This is ridiculous because the effects of it could pose a serious health challenges in the future... but then what do I know....women go extra lengths to look good for men ....imagine the world with men....definitely boring....
The effects of not losing weight when you have so much fat in you, far outweighs whatever you think that you enjoy with that bulging fat.

Men also go the extra mile to have good bodies. That why you hear the famous words “six pack”!

Now she can move faster. She has better strength. Her muscles are stronger. He heart, liver, kidney and stomach feel better. She has a better physical life presently.

Being overweight is not synonymous with wealth. And being skinny is not synonymous with poverty. Address you weight issue today, otherwise it will wait to haunt you in the future.

Same people with the Igbos. Filled with business idea, teach you growth principles. You feel their impact positively. They make living better wherever they find themselves. The Chinese also have China towns. Some yeye people never complain of China towns, whereas their leaders borrow billions in dollars from the Chinese. Their leaders have almost sold their country to China, yet Igbo matter no let them sleep.

Foreign AffairsRe: United States Rejects Two-state Solution For Palestine by ElevationD: 12:10pm On Jul 31, 2025
TruthU87:
I’ve said it many times, October 7 was a false flag. This war was never about defeating Hamas or rescuing hostages. Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing to steal Palestinian land.
Do no turn the truth on the head. Why did Hamas carry out such a heinous act on Oct. 7th, 2023, knowing fully well that they were going against a nuclear armed state?

Where’s the false flag, when a group of irresponsible men, overran an area where people were holidaying, mass murdered and took hostages, used and still continue to use their fellow citizens as human shields?

Why did Hamas embark on such a suicidal mission, seeing that breakthroughs in agreement on the required two states were not too far ahead?

When you decide to fight, ensure that you do not fight the man who is stronger than you, but be careful so that you do not become a slave, by your very own making.

And so local governments name and rename bus stops in our Nigeria, right? Can you point to how many bus stops that were name by local governments? All those Vulcaniser, Ile epo, Ile film, dustbin, last bus stop, etc were named and renamed by local governments, right?

The irresponsible and clearly tribal action of the reckless and bigoted expired local government chairman should be condemned. If you set a probe against him, you may find that he looted public treasury, while serving as the chairman.
Foreign AffairsRe: Arab World Tells Hamas To Lay Down Arms And End Rule Of Gaza by ElevationD: 11:37am On Jul 31, 2025
temitope27:
And who will rule Palestine? Majority of them would still be Hamas members
Palestine would be ruled by Palestinian authority (PA). They always were in opposition to Hamas. No Hamas in PA. They have never agreed. They are all Palestinians, but with different aims and visions. Unfortunately Hamas took advantage of the situation years ago and got seats in the parliament. They never meant well, just like Hezbollah. They were simply instruments in the hands of Iran.

Now that other Arab nations have come forward the true position, Hamas must stop using the people as shields, while the Israelis continue with daily destruction. Hezbollah was wise when the quickly sorted themselves out with the Israelis, otherwise today, Lebanon would lay in complete ruins.

Right now Iran is losing proxy power, with just the Houthis left. If the Houthis continue, attention will definitely turn to them and nothing may remain of Yemen. Iran prided itself as invincible and felt the power of Israeli weapons. They were defeated. All that they make is called “mouth”.

Imagine trekking from Oworonshoki to Obalende. If na beg you go beg and you no meet the person, wetin remain again. No be kpai be that? I go soon reach, I go soon reach, na kpai next.

Imagine trekking from Oshodi to Mile 2, or from Mushin to Costain or from Ojuelegba to Apapa wharf. Imagine trekking from Dutse in Abuja to Secretariat. All because una vote for APC.

Most members of the national trekkers association (NTA) have one thing in common…NO FOOD FOR BELLE. Many youths trek from CMS to Mushin. E no far, e no far, na to fall down for road.

Continue hoping against hope.

Men wey dey sleep for office, trouble dey. You leave your wife, your neighbour take over in the night. Many women get belle. Some men’s daughters and wives have been impregnated by their Neighbour’s and friends.

PoliticsRe: Street Naming: Lagos History Must Be Preserved, Says Fashola by ElevationD: 9:58am On Jul 30, 2025
What’s he trying to say? Lagos has a very rich history, with citizens from all parts of the nation playing their parts.

However one wonders the reason for the ethnically thought idea of renaming streets. Every one in Ajegunle always knew Mba street. Everyone knew Ohikere. Everyone knew Kirikiri road. How strange it sounds now to change the names. Why not rename Broad street?

They started with pulling down houses in the name of blocking drainages. Who knows? Maybe the will start changing the names of people’s houses, if that can be possible. Maybe they can start changing the names of food and the names people used to register their cars.

Thankfully you now realize that we control the markets. Do you realize that your own mothers and sisters beg us for little things like match sticks, pepper, onions, tomatoes and even to watch Tv. The result na belle. We dey give both mama and pikin together on behalf of baba landlord, while baba landlord begs for Tfare to go out of his own house.

Did you vote for the President in 2023?
No.
So, why should anyone bother about who you vote in 2027?

You are crying, wait till Local Governments start reforming markets. Hope you know all markets in Yoruba land belong to the Local Governments?
Una go see something.

We are not renaming houses. The Land Use Act ensures that all properties in the state belong to the Governor. So, after 99 years, all your properties belong to the indigenous tribe.

Shebi Lagos is no man's land?
You will feel it.
If no one should bother about who I vote for, why ask me to vote in the first place? Why the bill to force citizens to vote, if votes do not matter?

See how childish and unknowledgeable you are? What difference will it make if markets are renamed? Will that reduce poverty level? Will that take away the hardship and misery that you collectively experience? You seem to forget that the same markets are dominated by the same people that you love to hate. Take them off the market and see if hungry no go kuku kpai you at once. They control the food, thr clothes, the houses, the clothes, the building materials, your electronics, your phones and even the drugs that you take. How will you survive without them?

So you expect yourself to remain in this earth in 99 years? Or you expect Nigeria to remain one nation in 99 years, with your tribalism? Bros you drink shepe before commenting?
