Viraltrends123: Selfish interest, how. Even if he would have done it in his 2nd tenure, Sanwoolu is already doing it in his first tenure, so how is it selfish interest again.
You guys like wahala ehnnn. That's how Obi was about causing war by proving on camera that if he doesn't win, igbos will leave Lagos, it will greatly affected Yorubas, and Yorubas will suffer. Imagine.
Survivor2020: My 17 years old brought shame to me last year she got pregnant, I have disowned her and sent her packing. She is staying with her boyfriend in his family home.
She gave birth 5 months ago she has been sick ever since she had the baby and the boyfriend doesn't have any money to take care of her. Plus the living condition is not suitable for her in her condition.
I have forgiven her and I want to take her back home so I can take her to the hospital for treatment but I don't want her to come with her baby. Please note there is only me and my 7 years old son at home. I work and my son goes to school till 5pm.
I don't have time to babysit the baby. I want the father to take care of his child while I take care of mine. I hope my decision is not bad?
Got a student some few years back ... She was and is still very sound ... She finished secondary school when she was 15 got pregnant some months later ... I was so dissappointed ... We were not related ... Was just her teacher ... But I cried when the news got to me... I was very close to her... She couldn't visit me ... But I registered her for jamb already ... The mum called and asked if she could still write the exam... I encouraged them and her to go write it since we have registered ... She wrote the exam close to 8months plus gone I just told the mum to follow her and not send her sister with to go write the exam incase you goes into labor... Sir... She wrote the exam... She gave birth some weeks later ... She got her admission ... She just finished writing her project at 21. Imagine if she was neglected sir... She still looks very young and pretty... Please take of them both ... My own student was not left alone ooo... The parent just have to forgive her and took her in... Please go take your child and grandchild ... I know its not easy ... But to avert more problems
Rapuru14: Obi certificate has always been a public document; but what the statement from Obi's aide meant to say is that no matter the certificate one acquires, without integrity and political will the certificates won't translate to the positive change we all look up to.
Normal level... But if it coming from another aide not from OBI would have said what you saying now
Henix: U left school the same year with Peter Obi but look at where u are today on Nairaland spewing rubbish with ur grandchildren's mates, because of tribal politics and hatred for ur supposed schoolmate.
U graduated from UNN in 1984, which is 38 years ago, meaning that u are probably above the age of 58yr old now, yet u are on faceless forum talking and behaving like a 14yr old boy.
Since u graduated the same year with Peter Obi, and also have the convocation list of the graduating set and their class of degree, what is stopping u from posting the said convocation list here to counter the alleged forged certificate Obi's team released?
It's quite a pity seeing an old man and a supposed graduate behaving like a kindergarten pupil because of politics.
OKOATA: You are an old man but still behaving like a dunce, you and obi came out the same year but you are here on nairaland running mouth with your pikin mate. Shameless entity.
Nawa for you too... To reply this way since you perceive him to be an elderly man... Nawa ooo
Omesbrit: Some of u just come online an make noise & display ur ignorance & bigotry. This account was opened in 2012 check my previous post, when I did undergraduate debate for UNN here on naira land. It's because Obi we became active. u guys have turned this forum to another thing, then it was enlightening & educating. Obi is ahead of guys.
tinsel: OP, this is altered. Peter made a third class. And I am sure you did it on your own to campaign here. I left Nsukka the same year with Peter. If you want I can screen the convocation book showing a list of graduates and ranks by courses. But no need for that. And also need to alter his grade. It is childish. The point he is a graduate and whether one has first-class or pass does not determine how successful one will be in life. It was even by God's Grace he graduated. He spent more time outside the school doing business.
You're giving urchins so much to digest. You know their heart and brain capacity has been dulled by drugs.
They won't understand and will definitely spin it to suit their Agbado propaganda.
As for me certificate is good but without integrity and political will to make a change, the certificates won't amount to anything no matter who acquired it.
One man up there posted a certificate ... I dont know how true it is... But what you wrote here ehn... Nawa for you ooo
Those days when boys now men wear boot cut jeans, 3-quarters shorts with a big polo OR aimless top with bandana scarf or facebud with timberland, teva sandals, soccer boots-like shoes and the likes.
AlphaUno: For those you mentioned, they ve held it down before then like 3 to 4 years b4 2006. 2004 was when Dbanj’s/Don J’s first single ‘Tongolo’ was banging and also P Square’s first single ‘Senorita’ 2002. Now, if you decide to go a decade earlier when Remedies (Idrees, Tony T and Eddie), Maintain (Olu and Tolu), Tony Tetuila, Plantashun Boiz etc then you would be spot on about when the seed was planted.
Salvador1: Obi and his Entourage should secretly meet lawal, dogora etc and draw them to their fold. Let him go round table with them cos they are crucial in the his election.
Any body that is close to Obi should send this msg to him. Before Atiku will buy them over.
plusfield: It may shock Nigerians that Tinubu may come 3rd in this election. What is being cooked for him in many unexpected places may shock him. For eg, Atiku will win in Daura, up to Buhari's PU.
Okealaaye: Between Zik And Obi: Lessons Of History
By
Jide Oluwajuyitan
On Sep 22, 2022
History often repeats itself. The trending videos of Obi’s angry supporters threatening expulsion of anyone who fails to vote for their principal from the east, mob action against Tinubu’s supporters in Alaba Market in Lagos added to shameless assault on the person of Asiwaju Tinubu through hate songs by Seadogs Confraternity, during their public procession are all but sad reminder of the past when Lagos Igbo urban immigrants were mobilized to buy off all the cutlasses in Lagos market in readiness to battle their Yoruba hosts, labelled enemies of Igbo by leaders they looked up to for direction.
Perhaps we again need to return to history to remind our angry youths where we are coming from and how the seed of today’s mutual suspicion was sown by self-serving Igbo political leaders especially since the late president, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Peter Obi share some parallels.
They were both beneficiaries of Lagos benevolence. It was in Lagos that they had their professional, financial and political breakthrough. The former, fresh from Ghana, first “elezikified’ the Nigerian press in Lagos before establishing his newspaper chain across Nigeria cities. The latter started as Alaba trader graduating to importer of everything including wines before becoming a bank owner. They both built their political fortunes in Lagos as leader of Igbo urban immigrants that needed a spokesman in a stranger’s land. They both freely deploy rhetoric to confuse their largely uninformed Igbo youths and unquestioning Nigerians.
For his oratory and brilliance, Zik was loved by the Yoruba. As an adopted son of Herbert Macaulay, he could do no wrong among the Lagos white cap chiefs and Imams who saw him as their son. Although NCNC was a Yoruba party with only one Igbo man during its inauguration, he became an unchallenged leader of NCNC after Herbert Macaulay’s death. And before the party was hijacked by his Igbo supporters, Zik was winning all elections in Lagos, Ibadan, Ilesha, Akure and Ondo among other Yoruba towns.
Like most young men of his generation. Awo used to follow Zik to his lecture venues. But he was the first to discover Zik was a fake god in spite of his rhetoric and endless railing against the imperialists. Awo also discovered that sometimes nationalism may not be driven by altruism.
He gave reasons in his autobiography. Zik was using his paper to promote interest of Igbos while downplaying achievement of others especially Yoruba. His devious role in the collapse of Nigerian Youth Movement after fraudulently labelling Awo a tribalist for supporting Ernest Ikoli, an Ijaw easterner from today’s Bayelsa against Oba Akinsanya, his fellow Ijebu man. He went on to form Egbe Omo Oduduwa in London in 1945 along with the Akereles, Ayo Rosijis and Akintola Williams..
Unlike Awo, it took the Yoruba Lagos aristocrats of the period, including Sir Adeyemo Alakija, Dr Akinola Maja, Sir Kofo Abayomi, Chief Bode Thomas, Chief H. O. Davies and Dr Akanni Doherty, among others, much longer time to see clearly. In 1948 however, they launched Egbe Omo Oduduwa in Lagos around the same period similar group like Jamiyyar Mutanen Arewa (Northern People’s Congress) was formed in the north.
Zik and his supporters’ attack on the Egbe promoters was vicious. The West African Pilot editorial September 8, 1948 said “Henceforth, the cry must be one of battle against the Egbe Omo Oduduwa, its leaders at home and abroad, uphill and down dale. In the streets of Nigeria and in the residences of its advocates. The Egbe Omo Oduduwa is the enemy of Nigeria. It must be crushed to the earth. There is no going back until the fascist organization of Sir Adeyemo Alakija has been dismembered”. This was followed by physical assault on the persons and the leaders of the Egbe and damage to houses and properties of some of them”. (Awo: The Autobiography of Obafemi Awolowo page 171].
Then followed Zik’s Freudian slip during his 1949 presidential address to Ibo State Union, formed since 1943. According to Zik: “It would appear the God of Africa has specially created the Ibo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of the ages…The martial prowess of the Ibo nation at all stages of human history has enabled them not only to conquer others but also to adapt themselves to role of preserver… the Ibo nation cannot shirk its responsibility. He went on to complain about Ibo non-representation at the executive council and complain Ibo taxation was being used to develop other areas.
That was the impetus Yoruba political elite needed to shift their support to Awo and his Action Group in 1952 thereby frustrating Zik’s attempt of becoming the premier of the West. Of course, the Yoruba did not regret it as the West became the pacesetter between 1952 and 1959. But for preventing Igbo internal colonialism, Awo and Yoruba were labelled tribalists by Igbo political leaders who tolerated no opposition in their own strongholds. The fallout was that Awo did not get any support from the east where his helicopter was stoned by fanatical Zik supporters during the 1959 election.
The north at independence constituted five–eighths of the entire territory of Nigeria with 56 per cent of the entire population. Their system according to Awolowo, “was feudal and autocratic; at best oligarchic and authoritarian and completely antithetical to liberal tradition of the Western Region and egalitarian beliefs of the Eastern Region”. He believed “the problem of Nigeria “cannot be solved until the problem of the north has been solved”. His solution was the west and the east with some support from middle belt taking over power.
But greed-driven Igbo political elite preferred an NPC and NCNC coalition. While ordinary Igbo on whose back they rode to power got nothing, Igbo elite secured all important appointments in Balewa’s government from finance, to external affairs, agriculture, control of University of Lagos, University of Ibadan, Yaba College of Technology, Nigerian Airways Nigeria Railways forcing Akintola to ask Ikejiani: Iketaani, Ikerinani, where is the one for Yoruba? (Meaning Igbo shared all available positions leaving nothing for Yoruba).
The blame for secession and civil war was put on Awo and Yoruba and not Ojukwu and Igbo leaders who seceded with 16 riffles (Ojukwu) while declaring “no power in Africa can subdue us.” Of course that was also an excuse to justify Igbo NPP’s ill-advised coalition with NPN with Ojukwu who later became Abacha’s ambassador to Europe to de-market MKO Abiola returning from exile to eat with his former enemies. It is on record the 1979 alliance like that of 1959 collapsed over sharing of spoils of office.
For the same reasons, Igbo political elite mobilized their people to support NRC’s Bashir Tofa in the 1993 election and when MKO Abiola won a landslide despite securing only one Igbo state, leading Igbo politicians joined Babangida in annulling the election.
In 1999, Igbo political elite rejected the Yoruba candidate and supported Obasanjo who also rewarded them abundantly with positions after his victory. It was all about the interest of Igbo political leaders.
As a heterogeneous society, Igbo elite consensus with the northern political leaders with whom they share a common worldview of exploiting the innermost fears of their people for political gain is not unhealthy for democracy. But conscious of the cost of how past fraudulent claims and political subterfuge have haunted us for over 70 years, I don’t think abusing Yoruba and blaming their leaders for Igbo leadership failure is helpful for Peter Obi who, I am not sure, can freely campaign in Anambra where he ruled for eight years and where eight security officers made the supreme sacrifice as ransom for Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s life last week.
Because I didnt say OBI... Anything that suits you ... Only lies is flying around ... All I see is people choosing their tribes men... Take it or leave it... Atiku looks a bit neutral amongst the major three candidate...
Okealaaye: Nothing anyone does can ever appease wickedness and hate. People who have always set their minds to do evil cannot readily recognise goodness when they see it. They think that Tinubu is the only barrier that's standing in the way of Obi's becoming president. They forget that it's ordained that no good thing can come the way of anyone who's saddened by the progress of another. Until they know this, all their exertions, physical and emotional, directed at having one of their numbers to be Nigeria's president shall be fruitless. God cannot give you your desire when you hate his creature this inordinately.
Thing is I wasn't even supporting anyone ... Cus even me sef I dont really like Tinubu cus I was believing he is a godfather and an experience politician ... I wasn't expecting him to come out to run for presidency ... I was thinking he is going to be back Osinbajo... Till he won the primary ... After then I started seeing Obis supporters saying all sort of things about him... I was like this is pure hate ... Then i looking deep to see if all these things are true ... Especially his health ... Later say his videos and pictures ... I was like mehn... This is not how we are going to get the right man there... We should be talking about what they have done when they served cus I believe all politicians na thief... Seriously OBI staryed looking like an Igbo agenda to me ... Anyhwere you see people talk bad about Tinubu 90% so far I have seen are igbos ... Its really sickening... I went further making more research ... Later i got to know Igbo holds govt posts in lagos too... I was like what?... Cus I have once been in the east ... I noticed they dont give their lands to outsiders sef like that... It is well sha... Cus I believe we should campaign with what a candidate has done before and what they say they will do now ....
This man looks okay to me... Why all this corpse , unhealthy statement they use to label him... Its really sickening ... Since have been born... This campaign time is the most where doctored video and pictures flies around most plus pure lies ... Its really annoying... Amd we say we crave for better Nigeria...
