Hope she took her bath very well before jumping into that swimming pool

CyrusVI:
Obi is a past Gov

U had to travel back in time to like a decade

I'm telling u that the current crop of Gov in SW are a reflection of the liberalism of the Yorubas


If u don't care then u shouldn't blame anyone for being a tribalist

All the 2023 election violence u claim was they hit out on you shouldn't be an issue then

A region when Betty couldn't contest for a senatorial seat just cause she's married to a Yoruba man. Ethnic Jingoists

CyrusVI:
You guys should rest on GRV matter

U said he's a Yoruba guy and truly he is

So, why do u care much about him than u do about other election losers in the SW

Adeleke has an Igbo mum and wife
Makinde is married to a Rivers woman
Akeredolu married Igbo


So much for a tribalistic group...3 out of 5 Gov in 2023 but na una wey no get mixed tribe persons as Gov dey pure pass

Goodvibes007:
Lol. Same GRV that called Yoruba people a Nairaland slur word. I am sure that GRV is a Ibo tribalist on Nairaland. That word is rarely used elsewhere as a slur except on Nairaland. What GRV got was pushback. How come governor Adeleke never got pushback?

Poor Man mentality @ best.

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has said he intends to keep quiet for now about the performance of the Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Soyinka said this while responding to questions in an interview session by a team from The NEWS magazine in commemoration of his 90th birthday.

The team had asked Soyinka when he would fulfil the promise he made about speaking on the performance of President Tinubu after after the administration marked one year in office.


The literary giant made the promise during his visit to Tinubu in Lagos late last year.

However, the Nobel laureate told the team from TheNews magazine that he knew that there are many people waiting for him to speak about the Tinubu’s administration just for the sake of jumping at his throat, but he will disappoint them by keeping quiet for now.

Soyinka said, “First of all, understand that I don’t live on an alarm clock. And I hope nobody is so naive as to think that on the dot of one year I am going to speak. That’s number one.


“Number two, you asked that question nicely: Do I have anything to say and so on, which is the way it should be. I know that there are some people out there, who are waiting for Wole Soyinka to speak. Whatever he says, they are going to jump at him.


“If you read my Baiting Igbophobia, I narrate a conversation, which was transmitted to me, in which these people sent one of their marching orders to somebody that he should go and deal with me. The man said you know I don’t understand what Soyinka says.

“They told him, Who says you should understand? Any time he opens his mouth, jump in his throat. That’s the way they put it. I’m quoting them. And my response to that, of course, is that I have swallowed more toxic nonsense in my life, anybody who jumps in my throat I would swallow and excrete it in the rear end, and go back to my business normally!

So, they are there, salivating, waiting for Wole Soyinka to speak. After cutting my American Green Card, I did not announce it for several months, the same way I intend to keep quiet for now and not make any public statement. As far as I am concerned, they can go and commit suicide, wherever they are, or come and jump in my throat as they have been directed. I know those who are waiting. I want to disappoint them.”

Emeskhalifa:
SS isn't any different from SE
As for SW, how many schools in SW have you checked up with that you didn't find a quiet number of Abduls schooling there ??

Emeskhalifa:
There aren't much Abduls schooling in other regions coz other regions won't give the Abduls admission. It's that simple, stop pulling that 'una dey gree go school' card all the time.

georgeakins:
Na lie!
Only ibos live in Ibo land.

Emeskhalifa:
How many Abduls una dey give admission for una side compared to una people wey north dey easily give admission up north ?

Richtaiwo:
Simply admit you lied as usual and stop hiding behind a finger. You said there are Many non Igbo sug presidents in SE Universities, not me. I don't even know what im to prove because i never made any assertion. Yet you can't prove this, instead of proving or hiding yourself in shame, you turned around that I should mention igbo sug president in SW, something i never even said. If that is the case, you haven't mentioned even 1, since Adaka Boro is not even Yoruba. At least I have mentioned one igbo who was sug president in SW in recent past even though i never said anything close to that. Now, get out.

Richtaiwo:
First, you said many non Igbo sug president in South East, to mention just 3, you only ended up mentioning Adaka Boro from Delta State who was unn sug president in 1965, just 5 years after independence. I accepted, no issues. This is not even Yoruba. Now, instead of mentioning the other 2, you now changed the question to me and in my own case, I should mention igbos specifically (not any non Yoruba).

Okay, first, the 9th president of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Nnia Nwodo, was UI SUG president. Go confirm this. Note, this is not just non Yoruba, but specifically igbo. If I were to mention any non Yoruba, your guess is as good as mine.

naijapips04:
So this road and ordinary local government chairman dey fix for other states without noise is what Otti is borrowing billions to make noise about?

Richtaiwo:
The words in bold refers. Please mention just 3 out of the many.
Adaka Boro, a military officer from Delta state was UNN SUG President in 1965. 2 more please. Recall, they are many.

Zico5:
Why are u guys lying like this? Can't u be truthful for once in ur life. Non-Igbo as SUG president in Igbo land. Even to gain admission in igbo school is very rare not to talk of holding such prestigious post. Talking about tribalism, nepotism and favouritism, you guys take the first position. It's only in South west that such is possible.

Richtaiwo:
What's this one saying? You said there are many. Mention just 3 of the many you are here asking irrelevant question.

Originality007:
u should have ignore the bigot

Richtaiwo:
You said many. Please mention just three out of these many non igbos SUG presidents in Eastern Universities.

Nadingo:
Yes! That's the North for you. I can bet my two balls that a core northern Muslim girl dares not to strive for such feat in a place like Federal Polytechnic Nekede. In fact, to get admission there will be hard for her.

GeneralPula:
Proving buhari?

Are you speaking in tongues?

GeneralPula:
Kaduna state government is presently probing El-rufai..

What’s stopping Alex Otti from probing Ikpeazu?

The Minister of Works, Sen. David Umahi has stated that the federal government can no longer fund all on going projects in the country at the same time.

Speaking during a press conference on Friday, Umahi said he had been directed by President Bola Ahmed to review all projects in the country to decide those that would be given priority.
The minister, while stating the government was not considering dumping projects it inherited, clarified that projects that will be considered for funding would have reached 80 per cent completion.

“The Federal Executive Council has directed we should review the projects to availability of funds and make proposals to FEC. If such a project has attained about 80 per cent of completion, then we will make proposal to it for subsequent appropriation. When this money is made available, such project will be made a priority so that it will be completed. That is what we are going to do. The president has not stepped down any project.

On the issue of new projects, if we have appropriation that has not completed, at least, one kilometer, we are not going to carry out such appropriation. That is what FEC is concerned about. We can’t have N500m on budget but procurement is supposed to be N50bn or N100bn and you go ahead to award such a project. We have been directed not to do so.”

He added that contractors that are not ready to accept the new terms should terminate the contract.

He also decried the politicisation of road projects where lawmakers were only cocorned with citing projects in their communities even when the government did not have the funds to construct them.

“There is a political angle award of contract where we have politicians putting the ministry under pressure just to tell their constituency or community that project has been awarded.
If we continue like this, we are just helping the contractor as the money we have is not enough and when you give it to them, they will pocket it and do nothing.”
