See the unpatriotic set of individuals that want to govern Nigeria .. this picture has killed her chances of holding any public office for life.

Pat Utomi should rest.. he did nothing for Yorubas, instead he benefitted from benevolence of the Yoruba people despite the fact that Yorubas don't get fair treatment from the region he came from or other hostile parts of the country.
He should be grateful to Yorubaland for making him who he feels he is today.

FreeStuffsNG:
The Sage Pa Awo, was less enthusiastic about oil and gas extraction in Yorubaland. I once read his speech he gave at the Convocation ceremony of University of Ghana where he stated that he believes that in the long run, compared to industrial development/ extraction of natural resources, agricultural and human capacity development through education is good for the environment and achieving human development goals. I am sure his concerns will be revisited, the natural resources have always been there and we are aware but the political will for massive extraction is not solidly convincing

I know there are Oil deposits in many parts of South West, just that our people are docile and never eager to push for anything, just to be blowing big big grammar up and down and be doing oversabi, whereas we are really losing out from the allocations that other regions are getting.

@OP Did you check for ulcer?.. H. Pylori in the digestive tract can cause stomach pain. Betterstill go for a CT scan to know what exactly is wrong.
Wish you total healing.

Ogun State should have been in the league of Oil producing States long ago but it's better late than never.

Something needs to be done about the extortion of Nigerians by Nigerians going on under this administration.. this nonsense can't happen under Military rule walahi.

People are just increasing prices of food items hiding under the cover of exchange rates to cause hardship for the common man.

They need intelligent people in leadership positions.. people with something to offer.

Only visionless leaders thrive in anarchy cos the people won't be able to hold them accountable.

Ttipsy:
Do you remember what happened in Lagos during 2023 election?
After all that nonsense you still get pissed off when they raise Biafra issue

The Old Eastern region wasn't homogenous (had so many tribes), reason it was easy to balkanize it into South East and South South.. Even South East with 5 States is still not homogenous (there are Igalas in Anambra and some other non-Igbos in Enugu, Ebonyi etc.).

As it is now, biafra is an Igbo thing, what will happen to non-Igbos indegenous to those areas of South East?. Or you want to separate an Igala man in Anambra from his kiths and kins in Kogi State??

Lagos was peaceful in 2023, just minor knocks here and there just like we saw in South Eastern States where voters supporting APC were intimidated and not allowed to exercise their fundamental rights.

You are not being sincere..

What do Igbos want?

Fulanis or Yorubas are not the Governors in South Eastern States yet Igbos keep blaming other ethnic groups in Nigeria for their setbacks.

Alex Otti claimed Ikpeazu, former Governor of Abia State diverted billions of naira using non-existent airport.. till today, no Igbo person has written to EFCC or voiced out that Ikpeazu should return the money to Abia State coffers. Same with Obiano, Obi and others like them.

I really get pissed when I see Igbos complaining all the time.. for crying out loud, hold your Governors and politicians in South East accountable and stop disturbing our collective peace in the country. Una no dey ever allow other tribes near your politics in your 5 SE States so what is the problem. Kilode!

This will be a massive win for South West.. atleast our region can develop and share resources (both human and capital) for sustainable economic development.

Azikiwe and his covetous kinsmen that destroyed regional govt. really did us bad.. they set Yorubas back by 3,000 years. Yoruba territory would have been far better than Dubai and likes.

You have 7 more years to go.. keep dreaming.

Nothing fit replace tomatoes biko.. I can't even imagine eating food e.g. jollof rice without pepper and tomatoes.

It's a healthier choice.. we call it awo

Reno is so on point on this.. seems he is the only right thinking political analyst cum influencer still existing in Nigeria today cos I wonder what other public figures, some with PhD are doing keeping silent in this display of open bigotry.
Is it until Nigeria falls in the hand of separatists and we descend into another series of ethnic killings and civil wars that the dumbos with useless educational certificates will start voicing out?. When it's already too late? What then is the use of y'all education I ask.

Ride on jare Mr. Reno.. speak the truth no matter how bitter.

When you state your observations the way you see it, they'll rush to label you bigot and tribalistic.. I mean why would you be rushing to criticize and pass comments on events happening in other regions but keep mute in a typical case of human rights violation in your own South East region?. If you won't condemn your own wrongs, then keep shut and stop commenting on other people's wrong..
Such level of hypocrisy is just so disgusting.

Do you see Nigerians sitting at home on Nigeria Armed forces remembrance day?. Whatever happened to round table discussions, symposium or even regional dialogue that won't hinder movement of people or affect business for the entire day.

In the end, over 90% of demolitions in Lagos for the Lagos to Calabar highway project will affect Yorubas and displace most Yoruba families for good while other ethnic groups will retain their properties, even if the properties are half-way into the road.
Umahi is saying he saved his Igbo brother Landmark's two buildings with none affected, but the other Yoruba man's beach along the route was swiftly demolished and more Yoruba owned properties still to go. I really feel sorry for our people.

That Turkey brand of cooking oil was for those with class back then.
The bug own is called 'guluso'.. true true na bug hunting.

Kaiser20:
Wike don suffer.
Na so Amaechi Serviced Buhari's private interest for 8 years, now Wike

I feel.South South is actually getting more attention than South West.. the Lagos to Calabar coastal highway is ongoing and will bring development to the Niger Delta region. Another big project is ongoing in Rivers as we speak.

Amaechi didn't do anything for South na, that one was busy taking Chinese loans in billions of dollars to fund railway project into Niger republic capital whereas his own Rivers State had no functional train system.
Wike has free hand to work for the people of FCT but Amaechi didn't enjoy such privilege under Buhari.

Speak for yourself..

PBAT has demystified the false narrative that Nigeria can't work.. Leave your useless State governed by Ikpeazu and likes, head to FCT or Nasarawa and see wonders.
That Nasarawa State Governor na correct Presidential material.

The metro trains in Abuja are about to go live fully.. If only you know how relieved people will become, less demand for petrol.

3rd mainland bridge repairs completed

Lagos to Calabar super coastal highway ongoing.

Security has improved greatly in just one year of PBAT.. I can bet in 2 yrs, we won't hear of insecurity again.

The man is really trying, I am wowed really.

@OP Are you blind?.. can't you see the American guy interviewing your fake messiah was disappointed with the way he was deflecting and beating round the bush.
By every notable standard, this guy isn't fit to be an L.G.A chairman talk more of President. They asked how he moved Anambra from 21st position to 1st position in Education as he falsely claimed, ol0do kept saying he bought generators, hp computers in bulk etc.

Chai, Nigeria and dull politicians.

Goodvibes007:
Excellent. Wike the hardworking minister.

The landlord of FCT.. nightmare of those who don't want Southern Presidency.
Now they have Southern Minister of FCT and can't do shlt.

H.E Wike na solid politician aswear.. continue to pepper your haters.

Those who removed history lessons from our curriculum didn't do well atal.. the same provocative behaviour of past Igbos in Nigeria that got them killed in blo0dy pogroms across the North is the same attitude their offsprings are displaying today.
They feel they can attack and abuse anybody as they like and those they are attacking won't react.. See how they are getting killed like rats now in South Africa and other African countries because of the same evil trait embedded in their DNA.

You self check, after the killing of leaders of other ethnic groups in Nigeria on 15 January, 1966 by Nzeogwu and other Igbo soldiers that planned the first coup d'etat, the Igbos composed songs they called "ewu n'abia" meaning "goats are crying"and were rejoicing all over the North and South West when other ethnic groups were in deep sorrow and grief. What followed was the killing of same boastful people in large numbers which later resulted in the civil war that lasted for 3 years and claimed many lives in Nigeria (still one of the blo0diest if not the blo0diest civil war in Africa's history).

How will the South East progress with this kind of attitude and lifestyle the Igbos have embraced as a way of life?.. Which sensible investor will ever want to make meaningful investments in that region with this sort of wickedness?

Later they will come out to cry marginalization and be blaming Yorubas and Hausas for their woes when infact they are the architects of their own downfall.

What is wrong with it?.. no be pap and akara.
Come far North and drink hot tea with bread for breakfast from Mai Shayi

The blo0dy hypocrite won't speak against the atttocities committed by IPOB in his region but will always have opinion and even try to play politics with matters outside the South East.. na so most of dem be for that side.

See how he criticized the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway and demolition of Landmark beach in Lagos, claiming it will lead to loss of jobs.. but the one that will affect over 300,000 Igbo kids and ruin their lives doesn't deserve criticism from the ethnic bigot cum hypocrite.

I have said it again and again that SW needs to sanitize our political class and stop giving chance to "enemies of our progress" in Nigeria.

Having one friend like El rufai is better than having a thousand fake friends..

Ganduje removed Sanusi with power of "Executive Governor of Kano State" and now the sitting Executive Governor of Kano State is reinstating him with same Executive power.

The Ado Bayero better make peace with his brother Emir Sanusi, substantive Emir of Kano and avoid creating further problems for himself. Those using Abuja influence to frustrate Emir Sanusi's reinstatement will back off las las.

RGRNetwork:
All i want is for Nigeria to prosper and progress. Wether them shit cable or remove cable, what is good for the people should be achieved by PBAT

PBAT is God's renewed hope package for Nigeria.. the giant of Africa shall rise again. Asiwaju's 8 years issa goal.

Racoon:
A day of reckoning is coming.

Is coming in your wild dreams

RGRNetwork:
shebi them say cable deh under water and the project no go commence again? Which one we go believe for that una Nigeria sef?

Cable can be removed or relocated elsewhere.. that coastal highway issa goal.

Godspeed our amiable President.
