Even Tinubu's supporters are tired of defending him.

Exactly, the way you and and all those clowns who gathered at Ojota did.

Kemetian:
TINUBU IS 1000 TIMES MORE INTELLIGENT THAN YOUR BREWERY BUILDER WHO WAS ROUNDLY CONDEMNED AS "USELESS" WHEN HE WAS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA.

NOBODY CALLED TINUBU USELESS AS LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR.

QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

WHICH IS WHY YOUR BREWERY BUILDER LIVES IN LAGOS TILL TOMORROW.

Let's follow your warped line of thought. Brewery are built to better the economy, create jobs, give refreshments, etc. What does sacrifice and replacing a child with an animal do for a country or has ever done for a country?

May be he wants to play the sick card again.

You can't force people to contest. It is either you show interest or your community asks you to represent them but as per if Yorubas are in the East, publicly available data show that up to one percent of dollar millionaires in the East are Yorubas

Bros where is your so-called publicly available data that shows that there are dollar millionaires of Yoruba origin whoss businesses are domicile in the southeast. I asked you of businesses owned by Yorubas in the southeast and you are yet to name just one. Show us please.

Please note that I do not do hearsay stuffs.

Since you cannot provide ant proof of your claims, I won't engage further.

Enjoy your day.

In this age of AI? Ask AI the names of successful Yoruba business men in the SE that are dollar millionaires. Mind you there are probably less than five hundred dollar millionaires in the SE and there are Yorubas who are silent among them apart from those that AI knows.

Bros, you can mention what most probably does not exist. Bros, I am not a beer palour or newspaper stand analyst. I don't deal with market women gossips. I deal with facts, figures, verifiable data, and research based conclusions.

So I have to browse, scan, and infact walk round the whole southeast to get this information?

You are most probably from the southwest. I bet that you even know businesses owned by southeasterners in your region better than I do. Even at that, I can give you the locations of hundreds if not thousands of businesses owned by southeasterners.

You see that you don't know even one single business owned by a Yoruba in southeast.

Stop making assertions over things you know not. Stop mob mentality.

So where would the Yoruba man be elected in southeast? Oshogbo? Would Kemi think of going for an elective position in the UK if she resides and works in Nigeria?

lawani:
Igbo land is near to Yoruba land and they have cities. It is a given that successful Yoruba live there as they live in London, New York, Accra and etc. Many things can take a Yoruba to the SE from marriage to NYSC to job opportunities, artisanship and hundreds of other reasons. So how will some of them not be successful? I can list up to three I know that are dollar millionaires despite that I don't live in the SE but I will not mention anyone's name. If there are clearly three dollar millionaires that I have heard of, how much more those who are silent? If there are 500 dollar millionaires in the East or even one thousand and there are three Yorubas among them, is that not enough answer to your question?

Bros, you see that you find it difficult, if not impossible, to mention successful businesses owned by Yorubas in the southeast. I challenged you on this and you cannot mention one businesses.

Coming to even individuals, bros, I tell you with full assurance that you DO NOT KNOW any rich yoruba in southeast.

So I ask, how do you expect to be dashed an elective position in a place that you have little or no presence? I am not saying that there are no Yorubas in the southeast. What I am saying is that they have not invested much and also contributed much to their communities to earn consideration for elective position.

Yorubas who on rare cases own properties outside southwest, 98% of the times, sell them off when they leave the place. They generally do not retain them, unlike the Igboman. Go al over southsouth and check.

lawani:
Schools, hospitals, car dealerships and etc are those not businesses? How many Igbo businesses in Lagos employ up to 200 people?. I don't stay in the East but I have been there and I met Yoruba who are HNIs. There are Yoruba there who are dollar millionaires and how many dollar millionaires exist in the SE? Maybe 500

Bros, name the businesses. Name one school and one hospital. Which car businesses bros?

Ibadanfarmroad:
the question is not about even a Yoruba being a market leader or elected in any political position in the east, the question is , can an eboyin man be a market leader in anywhere in the east ? Can an eboyin man be elected as an Igbo leader in anywhere general Igbo union or group within and outside Igbo land ?

Can an Enugu man be elected in any political position in outside Enugu ?

Why would outsiders expecting from you guys what you can’t even do within yourselves ?

Aren’t eboyin people actively investing in anambra ? Why aren’t they elected in pooitical positions in anambra ?

To be a market leader is not a child’s play. Bros, it takes quite enormous fit to be market leader.

You do not operate a kiosk and expect to be market leader in Ochanga market or Ogbete.

Since you are sure that there is no Ebonyi man who is a marker leader in the southeast, give us your proof. Tell us the markers in southeaat and their leaders. This is not a beer palour joint where people are inspired by substances to talk. Intellectuals talk with facts and figures.

So if you believe that an Ebonyi man cannot be a market leader in the southeast, then is it still a tribalism issue?

lawani:
Yoruba that have business in Igbo land and are successful do not leave the place. Some have been there since before the second world war. Why will you leave somewhere where you are entrenched, where all your customers are? There are Igbos who sell off everything in the west too and leave for the East. There is no available statistics that shows there are more Igbo controlled investments in the west than Yoruba investments in the old Eastern region. The way Igbo exists in Lagos is how Yoruba exists in PH and the way Igbo exist in Ibadan, Abeokuta, Ilorin etc there are Yoruba in Enugu, Owerri, Awka, Onitsha etc

Bros give us examples of good and thriving businesses owned by Yorubas in the southeast. Tell us their sizes.

IyfeNamikaze:
I thought you people said that no Igboman will ever hold any political position in SW again? You people are just online noisemakers

Who said so?
These peeps here?
Bros, go sleep.
These ones here na "oh, yes" members. Dem no reach. They talk based on the things posted on their WhatsApp group.

Ibadanfarmroad:
kid, the biggest shareholder of a company is the owner of the company.

Going by your notion that “no Yoruba man owns first bank” it means there’s no bank Owned by an Igbo man in Nigeria.

Fidelity bank is jointly owned by different shareholders, access bank was jointly owned by an Ika man and an edo man but now the ika man is no longer alive so access bank is owned by an edo man, UBA is jointly owned by an Ika man and other shareholders.

I as an edo man had a business at ifite, because I was doing better than the indigenes they conspired against me and paid my landlord x5 of my rent ans I was unlawfully evicted by my landlord supported by the local police.
You ever wonder why eastern Nigeria is the least attractive region to non indegenes?

Bros, stop disgracing your lineage here. No single individual Nigerian OWNS First Bank Nigeria PLC.

Please, is there any of this guy's tribesman or Kingsmen here? Please call him aside and lecture him about business ownership.

Ibadanfarmroad:
the biggest tax payer in anambra state is first bank a bank owned by a Yoruba man.

Really?

So has the Yoruba man come out and contested for any elective position their?

Is he the sole owner or the biggest shareholder?

Bros, no Yoruba man owns First Bank Nigeria.

Get your facts right bros.

FSBoperator:
That should tell you how accommodating Yorubas are

Can you guys replicate such even in your market union ?

Let me get you right. You want to be loitering about at Gbongan in Ayedaade Local Government Area and expect to be dashed or gifted a position in market union in the southeast?

Go and check the impacts and investments in southwest of the non-southwesterners vying for elective positions in southwest. They never sat in their regions demanding a place in governance in southwest. They earned it.

yarimo:
This can never happen in any of south east, this is very commendable from the people of ekiti state for the unity and support

Oh, really?

How much have your people invested in southeast? How many of your people are comfortable investing all their lives' sweat in other parts of the country aside southwest?

ayoncox:
The question is this, can the guys in the East or North allow this to happen

The question should have been, can your peeps, southwest, invest in southeast or north as much as he invested in southwest? Even in southsouth, what are your peeps investments?

Most southwesterners have properties in the southsouth as long as they live and work their. Once they retire or are transferred, they sell off everything.

buygala:
Hitting my enemy's abettor is same as hitting my enemy, especially as Isreal despite not denying it were fearful enough not to own up to doing it

Before these past few months, Israel will hit Iran and brag publicly about it...These days they have made deliberate efforts to avoid directly irritating Iran, while facing relatively small fry like Lebanon and Hamas..

Anything to console you and keep you high is allowed here bros.

Flows001:
And Israel doesn't run out of Bombs to keep sending those replacements to their 72 virgins. The Jews have been fighting relentlessly since 1948, and they are not tired of dealing with jihadists

Which 1948?

Na since time of Abraham dem dey deal with their enemies.

They won't protect you. They won't defend you. They won't fight the terrorists. They won't allow you defend yourselves too.


Where are the "defend yourselves" Apostles?

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday admitted in evidence a report by the Department of State Services (DSS) detailing how some leaders in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State allegedly stockpiled grenades and ammunition for planned retaliatory attacks against Fulani cattle herders.

The development came weeks after the court commenced the trial of suspected members of Fulani and Idoma militias linked to the wave of ethnic violence in Benue State.

Among those earlier arraigned before the court on Tuesday, March 31, were Ardo Lawal Mohammed Dono, Ardo Muhammadu Saidu, Alhaji Haruna Abdullahi and Yakubu Adamu. They were part of nine suspected Fulani militia members charged with 57 counts bordering on terrorism and the alleged massacre of more than 100 persons in Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area of the state.

Aside the DSS report, the court also admitted in evidence, grenades and a cache ammunition, as well as an audio-visual recording of the interrogation of one of the suspects.

The suspect, Silas Oloche, identified as an Agatu youth leader, is facing a 6-count charge bordering on alleged unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.

At the beginning of proceedings, a DSS operative who testified as the prosecution’s first witness, told the court that Oloche was arrested on August 2, 2025, in Ogbasi, Agatu LGA, allegedly in possession of 18 hand grenades, 683 rounds of 7.62 x 39mm ammunition, 62 rounds of 7.62 x 51 mm ammunition, and 136 live rounds of shotgun ammunition.

The witness, of the DSS Security Investigation Department, said the defendant was subsequently transferred from the Benue state command to the Service’s National Headquarters in Abuja for further investigation.

According to the witness codenamed XX, Oloche was interviewed in the presence of a Legal Aid Council, and allegedly confessed to purchasing the ammunition from a man identified as “Chocho” for over N2 million.

The operative further told the court that the defendant volunteered a written statement and consented to him writing on his behalf because he could not write.

During the open-court playback of the video recording of the defendant’s extra-judicial statement, the defendant alleged years of violent attacks on Agatu communities by Fulani herders.

In the video, Oloche identified himself as the youth leader of Agatu and said the crisis dated back to 2013, arising from repeated attacks on farmlands and communities, allegedly by Fulani cattle herders.

He recounted a series of meetings allegedly involving government officials, traditional rulers, security agencies, and representatives of Fulani communities in Kogi, Benue, and Nasarawa states, aimed at resolving the conflict.

According to him, several agreements were reached for the herders to vacate occupied farmlands in Agatu villages,, but that they repeatedly breached the agreements, while their cattle continued to destroy crops in Agatu villages.

The defendant in the video, stated that frustration mounted in Agatu communities following what he described as repeated attacks and lack of government intervention.

He told the investigator in the video that he led the move to raise funds to buy ammunition after allegedly receiving information that Fulani groups were preparing for another round of attacks.

Oloche admitted obtaining several rounds of ammunition and keeping it in his house, but added that they were on the verge of acquiring guns before their arrest by DSS operatives.

He further stated that Agatu communities planned to retaliate against attacks by Fulanis herders, but were hampered by insufficient ammunition and firearms.

According to him, displaced villagers and grieving families, after retrieving bodies from attacked communities, raised money for him to buy arms.

At the end of playing back the video recording, the prosecution tendered the defendant’s extra-judicial statement.

However, defence counsel Noah Imoni objected to its admissibility, arguing that the statement was not voluntarily obtained.

In response, the prosecution urged the court to conduct a trial-within-trial to determine whether the statement was voluntarily made or not.

The trial judge subsequently ordered a trial-within-trial, and reserved ruling on the bail variation application to a date to be communicated later.

The court adjourned to July 8for commencement of trial-within-trial and continuation of trial.

ElevationD:
Funny how you do not know the difference between a murderer and a murder’s victim.
Funny how you accuse the USA of murder and terrorism, while you want BAT to end terrorism in Nigeria. The sand terrorism sponsored by Iran.

Well, your comment is termed reverse psychology. The world needs Trump and Netanyahu, whether you and your group like it or not. The world is safer with them.

Netanyahu is the only world leader who knows that terrorist need equal and far measure of response of aggression. Trump shows pity. With Netanyahu, there’s no pity, so thank Trump for discussing that ceasefire. With Netanyahu, the Mullahs would have been history by now.

Hopefully, the Mullahs can dare to respond to the attack.

Who told you that he wants BAT to end terrorism in Nigeria? Who told you that he hates the islamic terrorists and terrorism in Nigeria?

You think someone who supports hamas, houthis, islamic jihad, Hezbollah, Al Queda, etc wants BAT to save Nigeria?

bigpicture001:
The US is blocking is real from totally freeing up Iran once and for all..

If the US are not involved, by now isreali ttacks won't stop ND Iran regime would have crippled ,they ppl would have been free and the new government would happily give away all those nuclear arsenal in exchange for economiçs freedom...

Iran DN want to negotiate Trump is just being dump..Stan aside an allow isreali takeover...just stand and watch

USA dey save Iran from Israel hands.

Didn't this same man support Tinubu in 2023?

The liberals are setting very bad precedence in the USA, just like Buhari and tinubu have done.

God1000:
keep supporting evil, I wonder what you people will tell God on judgement day

Stand against the evil in your house first. Are Nigerians who are killed by Islamic terrorists of less humans than Palestinians?

Ironfaceman:
What is this nonsense again.Is like the name Nigeria means nothing again.

Why are other nations quick to humiliate Nigerians but back home we worship foreigners a lot

Even the ones from Chad and Niger.

A countries leadership informs how she is perceived and how her citizens would be treated.

SadiqBabaSani:
INEC has chosen to stand on the side of the oppressors

Eyeneck is one of the two electorates.

strangest:
The Topic is about Atiku



The thread is about Peter Obi




Very CORNfused people...

Heavily CORNfused.

seunmsg:
So many Ibo people have been beheaded and their bodies used for hot pepper soup in the south east by IPOB terrorist organization. So, has there been any outcry from the east? Has Peter Obi, Oby Ezekwesili, Kenneth Okonkwo or any of those noisy Yoruba haters ever said anything about it? So, why do you want an outcry over a lone and isolated incidence? Why are you not calling for an outcry over IPOB killings?

Summary

Since Peter Obi, Oby Ezekwesili, and Kenneth Okonkwo did not protest over killings in southeast, we Yorubas won't protest the killing of one of us.
Since one person was beheaded, there should be no outcry from Yorubas.

Some people have less heart
