Long story. There was a tradition were only Princes born of Itsekiri or Bini mothers can ascend the throne. The current king was born of a Yoruba mother and Ayiri wasn't having any of that. Funny how Itsekiri who descend from Yoruba cannot have a Yoruba as mother

The thing tire me o.

Oju4190:
The king mother is from Ondo state his wife is from Edo state....he is not suppose to b a king in Itsekiri kindom according to deir tradition.........Itsekiri Kingdom will soon hear from deir ancestors.

Which ancestors? Upon all the opposition against the current olu' father for being a Christian, the man still reign for almost 30 years.

seunmsg:
I still hope someone will reconcile the two. Ayiri is a prominent son of Itsekiri. The new Olu needs the support of everybody to succeed. Ayiri must also learn to give up the battle after defeat, he can’t keep fighting a lost cause. He should eat the humble pie and seek reconciliation with the king. Life is too short to keep fighting forever.

It's not easy to reconcile with folks who stole the king's crown o

The state governor should rehabilitate him like oshiomole did for the now late victor uwaifo

samdaisi:
Igbo always be Igbo it's not the issue of Hope Uzodima

They only cry when a current govt does not give them face. That is when you hear Islamization or marginalisation but when they are given contracts or appointments they are fine with whoever.

That's how they play their game. Forget all the noise they make here or on social media

Bring Pfizer. Many people like me are waiting for Pfizer vaccine. The regular AstraZeneca vaccine in Africa is not recognised by Western world.

It's recognized in the UK

African Strikers Made Me – Mourinho

Mourinho said: “My success is always based on having an African striker. Without an African striker I feel like I won’t succeed.

“My belief about African strikers started with Benni Mccarthy at FC Porto whereby he scored more than 20 league goals to help me and FC Porto to win the Portuguese League title.

“In that same season he scored very important goals for me in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). That helped our careers to be well known in Europe by winning my first Champions League as a coach”

“From Portugal to Chelsea in En­gland, I find Didier Drogba. He was a great African weapon to win with me an English Premiership. I wanted Ben­ni Mccarthy to join me to partner Didier Drogba up front but at that time he was at Blackburn Rovers and he was the only hit man there. So they refused to give us Benni Mccarthy no matter the offer I put on the table.

“From Chelsea to Inter Milan, there I wanted to win the UEFA Champions League (UCL) so badly. But I only had two Ghanaian midfielders and that was not enough for me to win Champions League as I was dominating the league only.


“So I sat down and thought hard about having an African striker again. I approached FC Barcelona and they will­ingly sold to me the best signing of my career – Samuel E’to O and the same sea­son with Eto’o I won Champions League.

“From Inter Milan to Real Madrid. There at Real Madrid I had all talents but the reason I didn’t win the UEFA Champions League (UCL) was because I had no African striker. I tried Emman­uel Adebayour but it was a loan move so Madrid does not like to use loan players.”


“Brazil have great strikers, but if you look at them they are of African origin. I always teach new coaches on my coach­ing facilities that you must always have an African striker in your team.

“Perfect example at Manchester Unit­ed they don’t believe much in African strikers, no wonder I didn’t enjoy much success there. Some strikes gives you league titles but African strikers gives you UCL titles,” he said.

mou is a coach of no sentiments, he says it as it is. No trace of racism in him. Reason he's a unique coach no matter what anybody thinks. Players like drogba, essien and mikel will never be world known players but for mou. No other coach would have given them such a chance

Obdk:
What mourinho is trying to say is he prefer black strikers... He is trying to avoid being labelled a racist.. Using the word black...

mou has never been a racist, he's the reason Chelsea became full of black players

anzaku47:
He used Baloteli to lift trophy at Inter

Balotelli is of Ghanaian origin

Karlovych:

Drogba- Ivory Coast
Eto'o- Cameroon
Abraham- Nigeria
McCarthy- South Africa
Rashford- ??

Rasford descent is from the Caribbean nation of st kitts and carribeans are of African origin so Mourinho knows what he's talking about

seunayantokun:
I once or twice said here that there is a need to use the law to stop all Obas, Ezes, Sarkins or Serikis not native to and recognised by the law of the state where they exist. For security's sake. Those things were allowed in an atmosphere of friendly understanding but the betrayal Fulani imperialists have shown to have an evil motive behind it.

We need to respect our boundaries as Nigerians. UK is 4 countries in one, Scotland, northern Ireland, Wales and england. They know their boundaries and they all respect each other hence they coexist peacefully even during Brexit, all the four nations had to agree on the Brexit deal.

It's only in Nigeria that someone from calabar will claim ogun as state of origin. We need to start respecting our boundaries if Nigeria will continue to exist for a very long time to come.

Joebie:
Sudan will be our most difficult opponent in this group. Of course, Egypt is not a team to be underrated, but they would not be a hard nut to crack if Rohr gets his tactics right in the first game. One thing I can say is I expect us to go far in the tournament as usual, but I do not see Rohr steering our ship to victory when it matters most. Fingers crossed.

Your coach will soon begin to say he has a very young team. He's busy writing down his excuses now not to win afcon.

With our otondo coach, make we forget am

Nanaborga:
Not true , ikenwoli was a pure traditionist , his elder brother olu atuwatse was a Christian (four square) and he ruled his entire reign having stroke , but yet he got old before he died , he almost denounced all itsekiri deities and wanted to be addressed as king toritseju, not ogiame , but the people including the former governor , CAN president, as at then pleaded with him to listen to the people .

Thank you for bringing the truth out. The guy you quoted are the kind of nigerians that spread falsehood to mislead others.

Donchyke007:
I think Checkmate was aired on Thursdays not weekends.

Yes it was on Thursdays. Most NTA network soaps were on Thursdays even till the days of superstory

CountVersailles:
This was a time when Nigerian women covered up.

Those were times when what you had upstairs matter more than what you wear.

Our values as a society today is upside down

Beancounter94:
For every nice thing they have in Denmark they pay a tax rate of 46% with a tax to gdp ratio of 46%
Nigeria has a tax rate of 24% or less with a tax to gdp ratio of 6.1%. Plus only 30% of the taxable population actually pays taxes
Danish gdp is also higher than Nigerian gdp.


But if the government wants to go that high you guys will complain.

When they tell you to do the work to change your economy from oil dependent to industrial dependency you guys will say it is too hard.

And before you start I don't like APC or pdp. But you guys have to be realistic. You cannot have a Ferrari at the price of a bicycle

oga the tax thing is simple, just enforce it with equity and justice without sacred guys and favouritism and people will pay. Nobody in any part of the world wants to pay tax but when you have no option than to pay, you will surely pay.

Are you aware that from the president to the governors and national assembly members do not pay tax at all according to our yeye constitution, how can those who make tax laws do not pay tax themselves according to the same law. We got to fix that bruv

Baawahala:
The call for Osibanjo is a tribal call,not a sincere national call...

na the call for atiku, obi and the likes be national call abi, I laugh in Spanish

gawu1:
The Dundee president has successfully put your supreme leader in cage. For good eight days your supreme leader was in captivity none of you pigs detected it until when his captured was announced with picture of the monkey shown to the public. The hunchback albino porn star and the pigs leader is still languishing in the zoo cage with no sign of relief any soon.
Meanwhile, did you read the below from the best you pigs can produce for presidency in the coming 2023 election? What is the economic sense in this. How can someone who claims to have economics sense dismissed infrastructural development as not means for development?

''The former governor faulted attempt by the President at stimulating the economy through construction and revitalisation of infrastructure, saying building infrastructure will not automatically boost the country’s economy''.
May God save us from Obi China economy sense.

Omo I tire for obi o. Nobody can never go wrong on infrastructure. I wonder where this is coming from. If PMB had focused bon SMEs same obi would have still criticized saying why focus on SMEs instead of infrastructure. Chai

this is how endsars despite how it began peacefully ended up in smoke,

FG will only start cashing out more on the SE by procuring more arms to deal with these miscreants and placing in the annual budget as they do for the NE and NW now while praying it will never end. New billionaires will emerge on top of this nonsense

Ofadaman:
Irrespective of how we feel hatred towards discrimination, never seed your future in the hands of miscreant, the problem is those who have what it takes to lead don't have the confidence to come out and then empty barrels will make that decision, be weary of movement that take advantage of your emotions and spearheaded by confident illerates because when the agitation is over, you'd end up with authoritarian uncompassionate fools as your leader

but will we ever learn?

Mynd44:
Why do these people do this? Its not like the new party can win the election or is er that he just has miney he wants to waste?

Maybe to build clout for the next election

eplanning:
Dull man. And I have concluded that he is equally selfish and without integrity, otherwise he would have resigned.

resign for your father to take over abi,

You guys are just funny human beings

so na appointment this man still dey find upadan

activism is big business in naija now, this is what the likes of igboho and kanu wanted

all na scam

nathyx:
Good question Sir. Particularly I don't know but is it that the FEC is now using the activeness of respective Senators and Rep members in allocating proposed crucial development projects

The reps are there to influence and lobby for FG projects to their constituencies. Lest we forget they have oversight on these projects and the FEC is accountable to them

nathyx:
The major problem with Nigeria is political sentiment and this has become the order of progress How can after all the above mentioned proposed rail routes I can't find anyone allocated to Benue state the food basket of the nation This is so because our leaders have neglected necessary functionalities and focused on their individual places of abode for centered development nonsense!

Do Benue state not have representatives in the national assembly? What are their senators and reps collecting huge allowances for?

mrvitalis:
I wonder how this government thinks really ...a poor nation like Nigeria spending 12 billion dollars on a phantom project that won't break even for 100 years ....there are far more important was that would use that money that would have far more impact on the economy

$1billion $300 million each can reactivate warri ,port Harcourt and Calabar ports ...$100 to by boats to secure the sea routes

$4 billion invested in our transmission line would increase transmission capability from 5000mw to over 12000mw ... electricity supply would double ...I mean double because we have installed capacity of about 15,000mw

$5 billion grants to 10 top importers of goods we can easily produce here to start producing them in Nigeria ...or if we have struggling producers top 10 ...pick like 10 to 20 products

Like ceramics , glass , cloths , chocolates ,drugs and the likes ...this would create over 300,000 jobs directly and provide revenue of over 300 billion a year in taxes


This project would have far more reaching impact on our GDP than this phantom rail system that's nothing but a feel good project

Abuja kaduna rail would break even at the current profit rate in over 101 years

I'm waiting to see the figures for Lagos ibadan rail but my estimate suggest 160 years to break even that's if repairs are not made even

If the rail was passing through your village you won't be saying this.

What do we actually want for naija. If the govt did nothing we will complain, now they are doing something yes it may be inflated and sound overbloated but this is Africa, we need infrastructure like this else nothing at all will be done at all including all the suggested alternatives you have listed here.

Like I always say, you can never go wrong on infrastructure no matter how expensive it is. Persons, goods and services must always be moved from one point to another.

Nobody owns Nigeria, when their tenure expires, they will handover, simple.

All these tithes collectors without responsibility should at least have some shame.
So everything now is just about the money, where is salvation in the equation?
Unfortunately, the gullibles will urge him on.

He just revealed his real motive, money, money, money. The man likes to be in the news and he's seeing an opportunity of his content being circulated for more cash. Am ashamed. What he's saying is that he doesn't mind the insults if it brings in money

so it's about the money at the end of the day. The real motive behind the miracle alert promo
