Is it his fault? Atęnuję is what's killing a lot of people. When he believes the only solution to the people's problems is rice as he used to do in his burdillon house in lagos, where you'd see people line up to collect one derica of rice with 2k. I remember the stampede that took place in ikeja when they went to collect rice and people died in the process. What an awkward mentality from a wicked leader. Mahmud and all other corrupt Nigerians who connived with this man to forcefully take power will be visited with God's judgement. This I know. When a leader is duly elected, he listens to the public and cares for them but when he forced himself there, he gives no hoots. |
IfnobeGod20:You've said it all. I also supported buhari in his first term in office, even campaigned for him openly. The moment I saw that he had nothing to offer, I backed off kiakia. A retired general who couldn't nip insecurity in the bud. Just imagine. By the way, God forbid that I respond to anyone asking for money on nairaland again. They don't deserve emphaty. I shouted and shouted. Instead, they called me unprintable names and I suddenly became ibo, just because I support PO, a LP candidate of Igbo extraction. That's how dumb they can be. One penny, I no dey give again. They need to be taught a lesson. Leadership is devoid of tribalism. If God didn't put you in a position but you forced yourself there, you should face the consequences. It's just that the masses are always at the receiving end. Tinubu will be the worst president in the Nigeria's history. |

Afonjah:No place like home..ask me wey school for America. I'd lecture you on why home is the best. Though I live here and have my business here, I can enter any country I like at the tip of my fingers and still enjoy all the benefits , if not more...that those in the diaspora do enjoy. Amazingly, I hardly see them in fun places everywhere I go, unlike whites whom you'd see at Disney land in large folds. They're busy working their heart out cos bills keep mounting. Recently I saw one of my friends adding chicken grilling business to his hustle. I visited another, each time he gets home, before you say welcome back, he's hit the bed, snoring. I pray God opens their eyes to see the opportunities the likes of Chinese and Indians see here which make them to keep coming to milk us. Only then would they see reasons to return home. They always prefer to send money to visiting home. Once they calculate that flight ticket, they change their minds whereas, a white man can travel to see family multiple times in a year. |
blowjohn:If you want to see more of them, go to the airport. You go lose count. |
Baba that is nearing 100? He's said it several times that he didn't know when he was born that in the military in those days, you're allowed to declare any age when enlisted. Prof Soyinka sef had tackled him severally that he's older than that age. Obj was his senior in the secondary school in those days. That's grace at work in OBJ's life, looking much stronger with a straight spine even at that age. When we say don't do drugs, e get why. Old age no be anyone's mate. All the shiit you did with your body as a youth will tell at old age. I've never heard or seen obj sniffing cocaine |
walefresh3:Impostor or not, I've spoken my mind. As illiterate as you are, you don't seem to know that no single iboman will deny his tribe, even if you'd kill them. The day you guys supporting tinubu called obasanjo an iboman, I stopped defending whatever names you call me. Iwofa lęnu |
Kobojunkie:On your first point, so if Buhari says I want to use your refinery as part of my achievement so, let's commission it even though it's not yet completed, would he have objected? Answer tbat as a Nigerian who understands the political terrains. Secondly, if you borrowed money for whatever reasons, does it matter where you get the money from, to have it liquidated? Dangote had investments outside Nigeria which you and I know. I doubt you are also aware he imports his cement from his plants located outside Nigeria to complement the Inadequate local supplies. He even made it clearly known, where he got the refund from, even though the refineries had not been in its full operation capacity. I only agree with you that dangote, just like other Nigerian businessmen isn't spared from some sharp practices but that doesn't validate the topic in question. |
Kobojunkie:Did you ever ask buhari and emefiele who rushed and commissioned dangote refineries still under construction so it would count as their administration's track record or achievement? Was it dangote who asked them to do that? The loan nnpc granted to dangote is almost liquidated which nnpc wasn't happy about. They thought they could use tnat to hold the man perpetually but he's smarter. Dangote walks his talk and he's one of the honest Nigerians I've seen. He'd never tell you what he can't do and doesn't meddle in politics. He's always neutral. He'd only support them as a businessman. Which of his products can you say is fake before the refineries came? Most of his cement were imported for sale in Nigeria at a time when nigerian plants couldn't cope. Did they say they were substandard. Had dangote done their bidding, even if his fuel is killing everyone, they'd say its the best. When bad petrol was imported a few months ago and Nigerians reacted, nnpc said they'd investigate...can you investigate your wilful character? That's why nothing has been heard till now about the investigation. I support dangote 100%. He should keep bursting their bubbles. For months after commissioning, nnpc refused to supply him crude and he went to the usa to buy. There's nothing they didn't do to frustrate this man. May they keep failing. |
I know nnpc and Co aren't happy. They just want to de-market him at all cost. Dangote will burst more of their bubbles soon. This is why competition is good. Isn't it worrisome that none of our refineries is allowed to work? Sell them off, but you refused. You keep doing TAM. The last one cost over 2bn usd under buhari with no results. Now it's Tinubu's time to use same TAM to embezzle. Those supporting these criminals need to have their heads checked seriously. They've set the deadlines for the phc refineries kick off, up to 3 times now under tinubu yet, no single operation has taken place there. But when you visit the creeks, you'd see them refining diesel illegally. Instead of legalising it by granting them the licence needed to operate a modular refinery with financial support, since you've failed the nation, you keep destroying them. I remember when we went to work in the riverine areas years back, we used to use the diesel produced by these make-shift refineries because we couldn't gain access to diesel in towns nearby. The quality was so great, wondering if it cost an arm and a leg to fix an already existing refinery or to refine diesel. Nigerians are so enduring |
E be like say these people mean business oo. They'd definitely go on with the protest. Kill an aboki during protest and see the country burn in flames. Dear friends and well-wishers, please don't join any protest..allow only tribalists who believed tinubu, their messiah but has failed them, to protest alone under the ebinpawon slogan. This is just the beginning cos we shouted long enough. Take your apc membership card to ketu mile 12 market and present same to gari or yam seller for a discount. You'd not like the response you'd get. |
Naija too dey overdo tinz. Small time, dem go soon start deportation. |
helinues:Tell that to the marines. So, because he criticised tinubu, he's now seen as an opposition? Many senators and reps in the US who are Democrats have asked Biden, an incumbent president to give up his 2nd term ambition due to age, heaven didn't fall. He only said if health condition worsens, he'd reconsider his decision. Tinubu and Biden should be same age. What's wrong with you guys sef? That's why I call you illiterates |
Goodvibes007:They did worse things 4 yrs ago, we all knew how it ended 😃 |
Righteousness2:In your last paragraph, why did you think trump lost to Biden? The reasons are still big issues which voters will use as yardstick, 100% of the time. |
That was what tinubu did as governor. I'm not surprised. He silenced the media, promoted sponsored propaganda and pampered the judiciary |
makemoneywbsite:As you can see, birds of a feather, flock together. Before I answer your question, why did you think tinubu didn't win lagos? The same lagos he claimed to have built with his fake ideas? All those supporting him are just like him. They're not a true representation of the yoruba nation. If Pa Awo were to be alive today, tinubu wouldn't have neared power cos he can't wear his shoes. We're an intelligent and organised people. I'm not a tribalist and i've worked with all the tribes. A tribalist is an isolated and retarded man or woman. Its a very bad mentality. You're merely telling God that His handiwork isn't good by being tribalistic and its got spiritual undertone which those following the path don't seem to know, until they set themselves free. They hardly progress in life due to their crude ideology. They always act like slaves and they keep suffering due to their stupidity. Tribalism consequences are very deep my broda. Even some of your people do this. Its a general disease which we must jointly cure. Only fools and poor people fight over tribes. The head of technical dept in my company is ibo from Urata in Imo state. We've travelled abroad together for training several times. One of his kinsmen even told me to have him sign a bond, that he may run away but I refused. It's been 12 years since he joined us and has never run away. The larger percentage who contributed to Tinubu's loss in lagos were yorubas. I'm from alimosho, the largest LG in Nigeria by population, where yorubas constitute about 91% of the entire population, we didn't vote tinubu. Remember he lost in Osun state too. In the remaining Yoruba states where he lost, he bribed his way thru. Ekiti people protested after they declared tinubu winner in the state. They said they didn't vote him. |
opamoses1:If you like , call me chukudi, ko kan aye. Only a fool will compare Anambra or Abia or whatever with lagos, a cosmopolitan city in terms of population and revenue generation. I live in alimosho. Our population alone will swallow up that of Anambra and abia. That said, over 50% of investments in Lagos are owned by ibo. You may disagree but take a look at it from those in charge of hospitality business in lagos. A large percentage of hotels here are owned by them, likewise household wares products. Go to Coker, Odunade, trade fair, alaba...90% of shop owners selling them are ibo. In banking, they own some of the leading banks here, you know already. What of spare parts, na dem. Who pay a higher percentage as tax to lagos government, them of course. They are leaders in pharmaceuticals too. We will not realise all these facts until Nigeria finally breaks up. I don't know your age but if you were grown up during June 12 election annulment protest, when almost all of them were called home, you'd have an idea what I'm talking about. Everywhere was desolate. Lagos looked like a ghost town cos we couldn't see things to buy. Protesters were seen breaking their shops they left behind and looting. That was the only protest in Nigeria, which tribalists didn't link to ibo. Life returned after normalcy was restored. That's why I always encourage youths amongst us to begin learning what we may lack once Nigeria breaks up cos it won't be funny. |
Oceanfl0w:This isn't about he who has ears. They've maintained severally that they didn't support tinubu so, only those who voted him should protest for disappointing them while they stay aloof. It's common sense. I support this because I can see they're the most hated and marginalised tribe in Nigeria. I've always been an advocate of the igbos. I share in the baba Ayo Adebanjo and OBJ's school of thoughts. A tree doesn't make a forest. I've been wrongly tagged igbo by several illiterate supporters of Tinubu who are now suffering and smiling but who cares? Iwofa lęnu. During the endsars protest of 2020, they fingered igbos, despite the obvious as the brain behind it. They blindly ignored the viral video of our youths swimming inside the oba akiolu's palace's pool, enjoying themselves after carting away his dollars stashed inside coffin and acussed ibos of staging the protest Give an ibo man the chance to rule for just 4 years and see what alot of you have been blinded from seeing cos of tribalism. Now that it's our turn, what have we made of it? Any protests that erupt in Nigeria is always linked to ibo. That's inhumanity against man. Let them go, una refuse. Please if you're ibo, don't join that protest before haters begin burning down your investments. Staying away doesn't make you cowards cos I know you're not cowards. Stay in your homes and allow those who caused us this mess to stage the protest alone. We warned them. They say you're tribalists but you voted obasanjo twice, even when we abandoned him in his first term in office. |
Coquinoqui:Depending on the route you take, you could get to DC in 2hrs and a few minutes from Virginia. Or did you mean West Virginia? Maryland and West Virginia are also near DC. I always prefer getting to DC via Baltimore cos flight is way cheaper than when you enter via Washington Dulles. DC and historic buildings, nice place ![]() |
Throwback:I concur |
Throwback:Not even only that. I don't have the time of all the nairaland's Trump's almanjiris in arguing anymore, those who aren't even eligible to travel to America talkless of voting their hero. Whites really misbehaved during Trump's era. We could also see how the white police acted on blacks . Not only that, there was a white boy who shot a black buy at a rally and claimed he acted on self defence, despite the fact that the guy didn't even near him, talkless of attacking, with the cctv footage evidence and the court acquitted him. What of the young EMS black girl who was shot severally by white police in the abdomen, without committing any offence? If trump should come back, more of such rascalities are inevitable . Trump is a racist and he's not even hiding it. |
People, its like covid is coming back oo. Please be careful how you handle your health. Biden just catch am. |
FBI agents detained Denver Broncos Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis over the weekend after an incident during a United Airlines flight from Denver to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. Davis explained the situation on social media after he was released, saying that he was "stunned" by what happened. He said he tapped a flight attendant on the arm to help with a request from his son, who was sitting next to him, and the flight attendant acted in what Davis said was a "rude" manner. A statement released by the FBI's Los Angeles office didn't identify Davis by name, but said their agents and local police in Orange County "responded to a report about an incident that had occurred aboard a flight which required further investigation." The statement said the person who was detained "was cooperative with law enforcement and was released to continue his travels." Davis said he was "in shock over the traumatizing events." He said he was traveling with his wife, two sons and daughter. Davis became a businessman after retiring from the NFL in 2001. He is a partner in financial firm Alpha 1. Metropolitan State University of Denver marketing senior lecturer Darrin Duber-Smith said he didn't "really see any long-term impact on Terrell or what he's doing." 13 Aug 2000: A close up of Terrell Davis #30 of the Denver Broncos sitting on the bench while smiling and looking on during the pre-season game against the Green Bay Packers at the Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado. The Broncos defeated the Packers 26-20.Mandatory Credit: Rodolfo Ganzales "It's a very long time in culture, so you know, he's not a current star. He's got a business. It's not exactly well known, it's not a consumer business," said Duber-Smith. "He doesn't have a consumer goods company, so he doesn't have to worry about being thrown off shelves or anything. It's very clear that really he was the victim in this whole thing." But United Airlines has to make amends, Duber-Smith said. "I think that at this point the reputational issue is more of a united issue than anything that Terrell Davis really has here," Duber-Smith said. "United's done the right thing so far. But they're going to have to negotiate with TD, see what he wants, because, you know, being taken into custody is something that you never forget. It's a low point in your life." "This is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide, and we have reached out to Mr. Davis's team to apologize," United Airlines said in a statement to CBS Colorado. "We have removed the flight attendant from duty while we closely review this matter." Davis signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in the mid-1990s and retired due to injuries seven seasons later. He is in the Broncos Ring of Fame as well as the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In 1998, he was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXII. That year, he had a 2,000 rushing yard season, something very few running backs have achieved. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/terrell-davis-handcuffs-united-airlines-flight-detained-fbi |
Even tinubu denied falling down in the eyes of millions worldwide so, nothing new. Zulum will definitely deny it. The news is everywhere already. Mtcheew! |
AdisaMighty:OP, I'll be your tour guide, just ask me any questions about nice locations to visit . Safe trip to America . I was there last month. Try and visit the capitol, DAR Building,Kennedy Center, the White House,, etc

It's not yet time, they're still warming up. By the time it hits those suffering and smiling supporters of Tinubu, protest proper will start. Recently,I was surprised, one woman who's the NLC leader in Lagos, who wore labour union cap and t-shirt, staging solidarity support for tinubu last year, when I saw her openly protesting against Tinubu's refusal to welcome their demands, I was like, has the 10k they shared last year finished already? You dumped the party which you and your fellows formed in order to champion a course for the betterment of your children who are in the universities and the Nigerian workers at large, for 5 Kongo of rice with 10k, no be stupidity be that? Protest is yet to start. You're still seeing gari drink. |
blacknp:Tinubu said he'd change the scenario, did he? He said he's bring a renewed hope, has he? He said apc slogan is change, did we see any change? They only became worse. My post was not hypocritical. Its a fact. When you say you want to wash a dirty linen but you're adding to the dirt what does that mean? People must talk to remind him. Min wage has been on the table for months but the senate didn't act so quickly to address it and the hunger in the land, same way they sacked ndume who said tinubu must do something. Is that not anti masses? That said, my point is, what ndume was punished for, should be the main discourse and not about how he planted his children in government offices. It's out of the point. If that's what he's being accused of and why he was sacked, which all of them are also guiity of, then it becomes a relevant topic. Complaining of the poverty in the land isn't enough to sack him. It's the reality on ground. Talking about putting his children in nnpc or whatever is a digression. If a democrat senator says Biden's policy isn't good, they'd not sack him. They'd rather do the needful. It's a different ball game here, which is why we must set ourselves free. These guys are slave drivers destroying Nigeria. |
DeLaRue:Who made those votes possible? It's not shetima cos they don't like him in borno. Google is your friend. Ndume is a force to be reckoned with not only in borno but NE generally. It's good as you people are defending Tinubu's action but he'd wish he never made that mistake |
Paraman:When? Wetin concern me concern apc? I only warned those who saw him as mr magic last year, that he'd fail them. Now, I'm vindicated. |
blacknp:Where's the glass house? . I reiterated nothing. The moniker only hit ndume with a backlash and I hit him back to tell me who's not guilty of what he acused ndume of? Even trump did same. (planting their children in key positions). That's not a veritable point. He's totally out of point, which is why i always call them illiterates. |
DeLaRue:Tinubu is to lagos the way ndume is to borno. Not every politician is interested in becoming presoeent or governor. Dig his profile and stop insulting. It doesn't make sense. It rather make you sound illiterate. |
