Foolish Igbos claiming to be developers n taaging others people land should respect themselves instead of being foolish whereever they escaped to avoid the doom. N poverty in Alaigbo.

Igbos n foolishness, just imagine Sawno left all those project Fashola constructed like Amabode did n like this foolish Hope is doing. Is it Okorocha's money that will be waste or if the foiah Ihedioha or Hope had completed n equipped all the facilities will it not be Imolites n their supporters they'd have employed.

Ikpeazu can not even complate a single bridge in 8 whole years. Here is what Oyetola is building to be complate next year.

Igbochief001:
Don't run ooh come and compare osun + ekiti governors vs abia ooh don't run

U think because Igbos abuse our governors means they don't work ? We do because they can do so much more

Don't run

Shame no de catch you Igbos at all. Look at the quality of road the person you are comparing the failed Ikpeazu n Ugwuayi with. This are just few of the completed jobs in less than 4 years while Ikpeazu n Ugwuayi spent combined 16 years already.

Sir you need to be stoned to death for making this comparison.

That Okada is banned in Lagos does not mean you n your family can not go n ride Okada in Aba Sambisa or Ibadan

pejuakinab:
Why banning the survival of the unemployed youth you couldn't offer a job?
Why banning daily bread of many Nigerian men?
Why banning the women whose only home is what that okada rider brings home?

Can Nigeria be ever well again?
Can these leaders ever reason reasonably anymore?
In peace I come
I come in peace

Lagos na your papa state.
You can have all the almajiri from Borno Kano etc go do Okada rider 4 you state.

This is not feasible till we atleast have 2000 First and Last Mile Buses (FLM) for a start.
We have sent LASG a letter to that effect already.
The common man comes first in the scheme of things.

A better Nigeria all around is all we want.

God bless Lagos State.
God bless Nigeria.

We Rise!

Foolish Igbos not minding their business

We are talking newly constructed not newly painted or your brain can not comprehend that.

Igbochief001:
Accepted

The last oba that died in yoruba land was it your father's head that was buried with it.

You mentioned Sanusi to buttress how pathetic you Igbos reason. The same Sanusi that is a Fulani leading the slaughtering of your father n mothers in Alaigbo as we speak today 18 May 2021.

Here is his opinion on Igbo, I leave you n you father to choke on it then come with an more sensible quote from someone his brain truly functions not a jerk that his father was deposed only for him to be deposed just like his father was.

I can understand you are clutching at straw to draw your hate filled Igbos tribe to the mighty Yoruba but you will fail at that till eternity.

LOL clown claiming Abiola was sold out while your foolish tribes were earnestly asking for a despot in Abacha, what about Azikwe slaving his miserable life away as a ceremonial lunatic under an uneducated kunu sipping / gworo chewing Tafawa Balewa, not to mention Ekweume rotting away in kirikiri for Shagari's loot. A man who was being provided with all sorts of Igbo olosho under house arrest.

Sir, with this few point I am sure if I proceed any further you might comteplate getting a knife or just going straight into the Lagoon. Make I leave u make the wind of foolishness bigotry n hate keep on shattering your soul.

NimrodEndOfDays:
But your when your Oba dies, heads are buried. When your ooni passes away, there is a human that is used for sacrifice. Where you not the same people who sold out Abiola? Are your soldiers not the first set of soldiers in Nigeria that are cowards? My guy, I was born and bred in Yoruba Land. Don't be stupid. You talk about bigotry and hate? Ask Sanusi what he called The Afonjas. He said you people are thugs and are the only people who raise Tribalism to olympian heights. Was it not the Awolowo who started bigotry in politics? Was it not the Oba of Lagos who said he would drown Igbos in the Lagoon? You talk about foolishness but foolish people don't come back from a war with devastation and become a force in Nigeria. If Yorubas were to be the people who faced what we faced, your tribe would be extinct in Nigeria. You are in No position to talk about foolishness because you and your ethnic group has it in abundance. Your sage Awolowo in his foolishness even after he saw what the Northerners could do decided to stoop so low to Gowon who could have been his son. Soyinka in all his glory and foolishness supported a man whose CV is there for all to see. You are in no moral position to call Igbos anything because you are and will always be cowards. You think running away from freedom because you don't want to fight makes you smart? In your foolishness, you lost illorin. Something that can never happen to anybody in the east. No wonder Sanusi called y'all the problems of Nigeria.and I am not surprised someone even called yall Sophisticated morons.

Tell us 3 standard road constructed by Ikpeazu in 8 years not those washed away by rain n for each on you listed I will ment 3 by Osun state.

Igbochief001:
Do you want to compare ? Let's do it let people judge ...u think because we Igbos abuse him means he is not working averagely well ? Osun and ekiti combined vs only abia

Coming from a lunatic against restricting / state police in Nigeria as at 2021, I rather my brain remain empty rather than with the foolishness you fed fat on.

Indispensable85:
It's easy to spot an empty brain.

Whi h of the Abia governor Kalu Orji, Theodore Orji or the new face of everything failure in human existence the collosus in failure Ikpeazu ?! Lol

Igbochief001:
I said it , you could never understand

Which tribe worship leaders ? Igbos bro u know it's a big lie

Abia governor has perfomed far better than ekiti and osun governor combined but see how much Igbos call him out every day because we want more

Enugu governor same thing anambra governor built airport in 13 months without borrowing a penny ...yet people call him out

Our business with tinubu is the effect of his actions ...we just wonder why u can not only elect but support such entity

Bro Igbos that are nurtured from the womb with chronic hate, irredeemable bigotry and acute level of foolishness, saying people with those trait is senseless is an understatement to say the least or how do you explain a foolish tribe segregated a part of it own brethren, labelled them "OSU" to be hated. Bro, a tribe like that is doomed till eternity.

NimrodEndOfDays:
So you have the guts to say Igbos are senseless? Do you know you are a bastard?

This one na fooliah talk we are no longer in the 60s. The FG of federal allocation should be reduced 25% producing state 30% LGA as it was before the first coup in Nigeria n the police should split the rest.

Indispensable85:
Our governors are not politically matured enough for State Police. Let them not compound our problems please. How will they even fund the state police sef? Most of these states are broke ass.

Yes o lack of political by Obj Yaradua Ebele
but I wonder why you senseless singled out Buhari.

SmartPolician:
Rising from a meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, PDP governors called on President Mohammadu Buhari to immediately send an Executive Bill to the National Assembly to amend the constitution to devolve more powers to the states to enable them tackle security under the state police.

Anyone who tells you that Buhari cannot restructure this country is only deceiving himself. The biggest opposition to restructuring is the lack of poltiical will.

Wake morning don reach o.
Time to wake from self inflicted foolishness.

jlinkd78:
Wike and Amaechi can continue in their public outbursts but they must leave IPOB out of their commentaries. Wike d blood of d Obigbo residents u killed makes u inescapable from justice. You were once greatly loved and admired by IPOB adherents but your public denial of your ancestry and d unleashing of the military against your people cos of your Igbophobic disposition brought u into this mess where u now sleep at Bori Camp military barracks.

I do understand n I presume that his why your Igbos tribesmen will rather vilify Tinubu that never stole a kobo from you be it from federal or state coffers.

Ipob101 : igbo logic of delusion and unbridled foolishness.

Igbochief001:
Orji got to where he is with police n inec backing ...we never voted for him

Reason we want a country where such won't be possible

But I doubt u evolved well enough to understand me sha

Yoruba have always been more than fair to you Igbos that is why an Azikwe in his foolishness can phantom an idea to be premier of the Western region instead of nominating a Yoruba in NCNC to fly the party flag after the death of it founder Herbert Marculay. The same reason why you lot insult Yoruba n claim Lagos is a no man's land.

The same reason why your won't see Yorubas denigrate the like of Theodore Orji, Kalu Orji, Ikpeazu Ugwuayi Umahi etc but what do Igbos do to Tinubu Fashola Aregbe Lai etc.

Firstorderwizard:
There's this growing oneness and unity of purpose among all southerners.
While going through comments on a Facebook page I belong to, most Yoruba names that (90%) always speaks against NK and SE have now turned around to speak against Northern domination and injustice especially on Igbo's.
Even the endsars couldn't influence this unity that a single utterance from Igboho did.

Infact any body claiming SW on this faceless forum to castigate South should be treated as Northerner until proved otherwise.
The South is one now

Believe Ipob/Igbo fraud news at your own risk. To outsiders there is nothing that tribe won't do to exhibit irredeemable bigotry n hatred on Buhari. Sad that one too can not help himself with his glaring failure in every facet of Nigeria society now. Shame #. See them below making senseless comments in the face of hard facts. How n who breed these set of dafts is beyond me.

Mr facts checker,how does Buhari attending this summit or conference affects the common man in Nigeria?

So is same person running Administraion1 and Presidency handle.
Guess you are the Chief BMC here on this forum.

Interestingly nonsensical! @OP why not use your writing skills proficiency productively! SMH

To hell with buhari and APC

lilvicky68:
Op better replace those pics with cows we will still understand..

Is that why after 8 years of endemic looting n no single legacy or project you hated filled clown sent Theodore Orji to the senate to continue to plunder the destiny of your unborn children in advance to their arrival while his son plunder your destiny n that of your father in this present day as the speaker of Abia house of assembly ?! Of I forget it was Tinubu that caused it.

Igbochief001:
What is clanish about beating someone who has abused us for years sold his people for peanuts

On biafra them no born politicians well to even misbehave

We are the only tribe on earth that judges out gods not to talk of humans

To those that celebrate the likes of FFK n Co. You can see how Igbos want to lynch their own tribesmen for being unbiased in judgment. To the neutral Yorubas this is exactly how so foolish set of Yoruba wanted to sell Yoruba to Azikwe before Awolowo came to the rescue.

That is the only reason Igbos hate him today all the story about hunger during the are big fat lies. It is the reason Igbos hate Tinubu today too. You all see how Igbos support a lunatic in the person of the olosho fugitive Kanu.

To those of you sitting on the fence while senseless Igbos think they are entitled to an opinion about Lagos Tinubu Fashola Aregbe Lai n SW in general when the consequences of your foolishness hit home your unborn children will have a awful tales to tell about how after the British colonized Nigeria, his or her foolish parents watch Igbos trample on their tribe sovereignty because of Tinubu hate.

You know them too well.

Waiting on the dull head Kanu to confirm if this El Jibirin, dead Buhari, it incarnate or a brand new clone. How a tribe can allow itself to be foolishly mislead out of irredeemable bigotry, a chronic hate n excessive foolishness is beyond me. What foolish set of human reason so shabbily, so pathetically ?!

It's no use telling what tribe in Nigeria these set of hopeful reject nurtured which chronic hate Re from. Any Nigeria with a functional medulla knows that. Make I save my comment before the yeye clown come n hide it.
