See what Yoruba carelessness has turned Lagos to.. a State that used to be very well organized up till 80s' and early 90s' now turned something of ridicule by foreign nations.

We warned of the dangers associated with checked lnflux of migrants and refugees. Now look at the tag it's getting from other nations.

Deepthoughts:
I agree totally with dangote on this,after all dangote is not stopping anyone from importing but if you insist on importing,then import n subject your imported products for standard checks ,if the corrupt systems compromise itself it's not dangote's fault but don't go to dangote to buy in large bulk for blending, international treaties, agreement n deals are broken always but that hasn't cause the world to end,I wonder why the Nigerian government can't renegotiate whatever deal they made with Nigeria's crude uptakers to ensure dangote gets enough feed stock to produce n sell to Nigerians at affordable prices,just about everything is corrupted in this country.

You're wrong.. according to extant laws, Dangote petrol is the same thing as imported petrol because his refinery is located in a Free Zone, not within Nigeria's Customs territory.

The man is deceitful, dishonourable and plain wicked. If not, he knows he has no right to claim his refinery is a Nigeria project by law.

Why is President Tinubu not doing anything to checkmate this wicked monopolist called Dangote?.. for crying out loud, he is the Minister of Petroleum and should be able to take a stand on the oil and gas sector of Nigeria.

Nigerians are doing "I don't care" about this Dangote nonsense now.. You people will cry las las and by then things would have gone beyond repairs.

The wicked man from his antecedents only want to exploit Nigerians to gain wealth (where he plans to take all the wealth to is what I don't know). Look at cement, salt, flour etc. he is always looking for monopoly, to be the only one dictating prices while pushing inferior-quality products into the market.

Nigerians wake up now before it gets too late.

Nigeria is not the property of Dangote family that others would be denied access to do business in key economic sectors. Hmmn, you people will buy petrol at #3,000 per litre with the way this man is going.

The Northerners are worthy allies, especially Hausas.. reason President Tinubu might get majority of the votes in the entire North.

Instead of Yorubas too to be rallying support for our own, they will sit down and be looking, while some Yoruba haters go about demarketing the President right inside Yorubaland. Speaks volume.about how weak our people have become.

Your epistle is too long abeg.. got tired reading it.
From the part I read, it seems you were desperate for marriage, you married a user not a lover.
I have seen cases like this play out. you'll be paying house rent, paying children schoolfess, buying foodstuffs till when you eventually get tired or maybe you become incapacitated. Then the user you married as husband will abandon you for other women while you'll be left to carry your cross alone.

The scam you people are in that you call marriage.

It seems these people don't know the implications of what they are doing.. to them it's as if they are dragging Lagos with Yorubas who own the land but in reality, they are setting their race up for future slavery and extinction.

A time will come when Yorubas will take back every benefits and privileges handed to outsiders in Yorubaland, by then these ones would have all died, leaving their offsprings fate hanging on the balance.

When we say they should go home and develop, they call it hate speech, but in actual sense it's wisdom disguised as advice.
Any Yoruba cheering these folks on to keep coveting Lagos is their biggest enemy. Lagos is going nowhere, before Nigeria came into existence, it was Yorubaland and it will continue to be Yorubaland till eternity.

It's only a fo.0lish man that will keep eyeing another man's lands and properties when he has his own rotting away.

Rant all you want.. the Chinese are here to stay.
We say NO to "EXPLOITATION" under guise of trading.

The Chinese are welcome to sell their goods in our market at fair and competitive prices.. just like other Africans be it Ghanians, Togolese etc. are welcome to open businesses in Nigeria.

If the Chinese are employing Yoruba youths whereas the miscreants crying are not.. what rights do they have to ask Chinese to leave Yoruba-owned markets in the South West?.
Anyone that is not comfortable should relocate to his/her home region or betterstill hug transformer.

Complete waste of money.. can someone tell us the economic benefit of the first niger brdge?
Money they could have invested in other projects that'll reduce hardship faced by Nigerians

Yorubas need to wake up and start calling a spade a spade.. I so much hate hypocrisy and that Obi you mentioned is hypocrisy personified.

He won't comment on the Kidnapping incident of 20 Yoruba youth corp members on their way to Abia NYSC camp or the two communities killing themselves in the East.. the only time he finds his voice is if a bad incident happens in South West or Northern part of Nigeria. Such an evil person will never become President of Nigeria

If you don't want to experience racism.. stay and develop your home country/continent

If you don't want to experience tribalism stay put in your home State/region and develop the place.. if you must interact with other ethnic groups, do so in a reasonable and respectful manner.

Don't go about dragging rights with other ethnic groups or races in their territories or go about claiming other people's lands as no man's land and expect them to clap for you.
Remove the log in your eyes first before crying tribalism.

I wish I could have a one on one talk with this elderly woman so we can discuss. I am not saying she must support APC, but I'm telling her that Nigeria has been damaged way too much before President Tinubu came to power.
This CNG initiative they are doing now should have been done like 15-20 years back to reduce our reliance on petrol, but the cabal benefitting from Petrol subsidy made sure nothing of such happened . This is why I don't consider Atiku as intelligent enough to lead this country at this point in time.

Look at when IBB left power till now, no major infrastructure was built by so called civilians ruling, not even GEJ. None built a single project worthy of mention anywhere in Nigeria, instead they were destroying pipelines in order to pay themselves amnesty money for a select few to be living large, some turned terrorism and kidnapping to business just so they can be demanding ransom payment and be cashing out.

I can go on and on.. without prejudice, I can say that PBAT is still the best civilian President we've had in this country.

I know he once protested at Ojota and all, but then he didn't really know the situation at Federal level. Now that he has seen and experienced things first hand, he has started pushing more funds to States, LGAs and by God's grace regions too very soon.
Most Yorubas at Federal know that restructuring is the best way to go, it's the Northerners and Igbos that don't want to hear anything restructuring or State police so their excesses won't be checkmated
I believe President Tinubu can turn the fortunes of Nigeria around for good and that is why he has my support.

Just imagine this in 2026. Yet some nincompoops will say Yoruba conservatives should not speak up to protect Yoruba heritage.
These are people of same tribe but different communities in the South East killing one another over 'God knows what'.

For how long are we going to continue this pattern of celebrating what we can eradicate?..
The President should end anything amnesty for terrorists in the North and issue orrder for Military to wipe them out. Once they are caught, no trial, just eliminate them.

We can't continue spending so much on security budgets while Nigerians don't have access to quality life and other basic amenities. Just like the President removed sibsidy to curb corruption, they should look at the security sector and cut costs there too.
For crying out loud, Nigeria's Military is too strong to be dragging feet in this fight against insecurity. If the President ever hopes to achieve something tangible, he should order a complete overhaul of the security architecture to cut costs and deliberate acts of sabotage.

I'm sure Amaechi will still blame President Tinubu's policy when he is unable to mount his wife. very dull set of people

He is not even ashamed to say on air that his mother died because of policy, despite all the money he has been looting since his time as Governor of Rivers State up till Buhari's tenure when he was Minister.
So the workers earning peanuts amidst rising cost of living with families and dependants nko?. who will come to their aid??

TopBanter:
Bro, his action not illegal. Obi posing with the Nigerian flag to make a broadcast is not unlawful.

The main issue is to note this is an exercise in futility. Obi is not in the 2027 race. That is strictly between PBAT and Atiku. PBAT will emerge victorious comfortably.

The only broadcast to Nigerians on special occasions such as Independence day should come from the President and commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.. if you don't know, know that today.

What these clout chasers are doing is tantamount to treason and a direct confrontation of the sitting Government. Such acts should not be tolerated.
Even your AI said there are comments against such acts. If you approach the custodians of the laws of our land, they will explain better.

Why is President Tinubu allowing this nonsense?.. this is one problem I always have with Yorubas which is not knowing when to draw the line.
These people were nowhere to be found when Buhari was in power, but look at all the nonsense they're doing under PBAT, no regard for institution, no respect for authority or rule of law.

Is this legal? absolutely NOT.

Obafemi Awolowo is a major reason Yoruba identity is still intact today.. left for so called fake pan-Africanist, they wanted Yorubas to drop the Yoruba language and be speaking their own language despite the fact that a Yoruba man (Bishop Ajayi Crowther) taught them how to read and write even their own language.
The great sage Awolowo was truly a visionary leader who understood concept of leadership while also protecting his own people and culture from expansionists. How many of them could give free education to people from all ethnic groups living in their region? Your guess is as good as mine.

Happy Independence Nigeria.. may things turn around for good for our dear nation.

Basic123:
Very disgusting.

You didnt also notice the hypocrisy in the reportage

1.few paid miscreants shouted OLE it was reported as "LAGOS RESIDENTS SHOUTED OLE"


2.Multitude came out to hail presidents in Lagos,it was reported as "APC SUPPORTERS HAIL XYZ"

I noticed the heading was changed to push anti-Tinubu narrative.. It's what nairaland has been reduced to.

The owner probably thinks he is a big man now, so no need for him to carry out oversight on his mods.

Believeintruth:
This tribal incitement you are doing will get you arrested soon, unless you are based in UK or US but again a simple petition with evidence of your incitement will get police knocking on your door.

If you want to see incitement, go to tiktok and see the hatred your Igbo brothers and sisters are spewing there. You hypocritical beings can't stand the truth.

Can a Yoruba group line the Streets of Anambra to be calling Obi "thief"?
You better park one side and face your lane.

I don't see the need for all these death prophecies.. even the Apostle Selman will die at his own appointed time. So why the fuss over a price every man shall pay?

Your elected leaders are not serious.. they won't pay workers enough salaries, won't release funds to MDAs to perform their duties, but somehow they expect everything to be working well. It's as if the politicians are expecting workers to take out money from the peanuts they get as salary to carry out their official duties while they (politicians) go about spending all the budgeted money as they like.
In the end, everyone will bear the burnt including the greedy politicians feeding fat from national purse.

So it has gotten to the point that outsiders now line the streets of Lagos to impersonate Yorubas and be heaping insults on a bonafide son of Yorubaland.. It's a pity.

Omo Yoruba why?

Why this level of slumber?

Kwankwaso is a typical Fulani politician with the mentality of "Fulani before others" just like the Igbos. The only difference is that Fulanis see themselves as higher citizens than Igbos in Nigeria.

It's only the naive ones supporting Obi, probably the Gen Zs that think a Fulani will play second fiddle to Igbo
I still feel Kwankwaso knows better, he is strategizing ahead of 2031, reason he agreed to be VP to Igbo man. Unfortunately, Obi and his supporters will dump him after 2027 just like they did to Datti Ahmed.

Kenyans are way smarter and sensible than Nigerians... Lagos State government should take a cue from what the Kenyans went to court for.
You put the environment in Lagos into jeopardy, you're poisoning Lagos waters with untreated waste and effluents from oil refinery, yet still using predatory pricing tactics to exploit Nigerians.

That wicked monopolist will learn his lesson in Kenya and will finally realize that unlike Nigeria, Kenyans take their country and people seriously.

skywalker240:
You are calling the DSS, so you think the DSS doesn't know anything from day one, before some local Hassan guy exposed them?

Telling the DSS to act is like telling a goat to keep guard of yam tuber's

I want to believe they are currently doing their investigation quietly to pinpoint all those connected to the allegations made by Hassan.. how the Nigerian passport which is the official travel document and identity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria got into the hands of bandits must be investigated.
Which bankers or financial institutions were they using to move money we saw in sacs that resembled money from ransom payment straight out from the bush?.
When Buhari was in power, they used DSS to hunt down Igboho who committed no crime, even killing some innocent Yorubas at his residence, so if a crime of this magnitude is allowed to go unattended to because those involved are Northerners, then our Yoruba President has failed to protect the integrity of our dear nation.

May God continue to bless our gallant troops and othe security outfits at the frontlines fighting terrorism. Those buying weapons and ammunition for terrorists won't end well.

It's as clear as daylight that this fraud and his supporters only want to bring instability and chaos to governance in Nigeria.
Whoever still supports this bad market is either into criminal activities or simply has a very low IQ. May this disaster never befall Nigeria

TopBanter:
The FG is working quietly and achieving results. Futhermore, it will be all over for Fulani herdsmen militia, bandits and terrorists once State policing and forest guards are fully on ground across Nigeria.

This is why power must rotate between North and South uncompromisingly till considerable regional autonomy is in place.

Were Atiku or Kwankwaso, for example, to gain power next year then we are back to square one because there will certainly be a slackening of agression against Fulani terror and extremism. USA even indicated this directly indicting Kwankwaso etal.

If Nigerians should make the mistake of voting any of those two people you mentioned in next year's election, then this country is done for.
The fight against terrorism and banditry in Nigeria will suffer a big blow and those ruthless killers will return with more aggression.

How I wish we can achieve full State policing and return to regionalism before January next year.
Most comments I read on social media no just follow, most people don't see the dangers lurking if the current Southern President is replaced with either of those two Fulanis you mentioned.

Their sponsor who happens to be a Senator from Bauchi State has been exposed by that Fulani guy called Hassan.. honestly speaking, that Fulani guy is a God sent to Nigerians. He did what the Sultan and other Fulani leaders failed to address, he even said he is not happy with the way the bandits and terrorists were destroying Fulani civilization.
There is no way you'll watch Hassan's interview and not be convinced he is saying the truth.. little did we know that alll the ransom payments they collect from their kidnap victims were being moved secretly through the Bauchi Senator's criminal networks. The DSS boss should make sure that all those involved are fished out and prosecuted.

If that case should die, I'm afraid Nigeria is as good as gone Such treachery against the Nigerian State deserves nothing short of death penalty, no matter who is involved.
Imagine killing innocent Nigerians, abducting and killing victims who have no money for ransom, ransacking Military bases, killing soldiers and Policemen, turning women to widows and children to orphans all because of money?.. NO NO, that's unacceptable

The way Lagos (Ilu Eko) was designed.. Yorubas will forever own Lagos while labourers from far and wide will labour for her greatness but the history, recognition and generational wealth of the State stays with Yorubas

As Governor Sanwo-Olu righly said.. Ilu Eko (Lagos) is United States of the Yoruba race.
When that time comes, the aggressors and uninvited guests will realize that Yorubas from Togo and Benin Republic have more rights in Lagos than they ever will.
