You are wise and observant.

How is that wise! Yam can germinate without being in the soil. Potatoes � also can germinate without being in the soil. The tuber provides the needed nutrients to make it possible.

Yam � University.

The issue has been over-flogged. I hear you though. I’m just not a fan of this government. Press freedom should be preserved no matter how it hurts.

My point is, we should join hands and preach responsible free speech rather than support the people who want to stifle it

Baseless allegations and smear campaign is not journalism. Journalists are supposed to present facts and not something they made up while eating donuts in a cafe somewhere.

socialmediaman:
Certainly not true. The Vice President is the second most powerful citizen in the country. His letter to the IG of Police carries the official seal of the office of the Vice President of Nigeria, and will be treated like a direct order.

Direct order to do what? Only the courts can decide whether a crime has been committed or not. Perhaps because of his position he couldn't go to the local police station to lodge a complaint like you and I.
But still he did the right thing by informing the police that his reputation is being attacked.
The blogger is not a victim here, all he needs to do is back up his allegations and he can go home and Osinbajo will get impeached and go to jail.

[quote author= post=91579546]You still lack common sense of this topic can you list Mega retail shops own by Yorubas, there are hundreds of these built by Igbos[/quote]What is the total revenue of the biggest Ibo retail business?
You guys need to stop this useless chestbeating.

socialmediaman:
VP Osinbajo is the Vice President with so much influence and powers, writing the IG of Police will be seen as using his influence to stifle free speech. He needs to publicly defend himself and dismiss the allegations, and if it continues then he can initiate a lawsuit. Or better still, sue the blogger to court and leave the IG out of this matter

Anyone, even you can write to the IG. You can even write to the president, it is all within your rights as a citizen.
The Vice president is not above the law, he is just like you and I when it comes to crimes.
He is doing the right thing to clear his name.
Anyway, you should be more concerned about the accuser backing up what he said.

socialmediaman:
Now I read in another report where the said Jackson allegedly lied about Kiki Osinbajo and she defended herself. That’s how to do it. Don’t be running to the IG of Police to stifle his free speech, publicly defend yourself so he can be shamed for his lies. Kiki did it better than his father

Cc: guestlander

I don't understand your logic. If someone said you robbed a bank wouldn't you ask him to provide the evidence? Would you just reply by saying you didn't even when people listening to both of you have no way of knowing whether you are telling the truth or not?
Evidence is the way to clear yourself and that burden of evidence is on the accuser.

Someone else said it and we as concerned citizens would like to get to the bottom of this serious allegations.
Mr. Ude we are waiting.

Salewa97:
LOL. So what is the meaning of this?

So you are chestbeating with supermarkets when there are several Yoruba supermarkets and medical stores scattered around the country.

What about Tantalizer’s and Chicken republic alone that are Yoruba made in several states across Nigeria?

There are countless supermarkets and mall scattered around Ibadan alone such that I’ve lost count.

Nawa o!

Even in America self.

If he was from a certain part of the country........

GuyWise101:
Igbo are genius in business (no intention of bragging) and will always excel.


A boy from one village will be called to learn trade in Aba or Onitsha (Igba boyi) remember this boy came with nothing but his clothes, but after settling him, six years the boy will become a millionaire (It is never money ritual but patience).


One Wasiyu and Nwokeoma was given the same amount of money to start business in 2013, Nwokeoma invested his money in business and started getting #10000 profit every 3days while Wasiyu used his and do Owambe and carry girls, Now Nwokeoma is riding lexus350 while Wasiyu is walking on foot looking for menial work to do.

Delusions of grandeur. You will think they invented retail. The easiest business to start in the world.

Firstorderwizard:
I'm not actually a fan of Reno but he is 100% correct here .
This case is purely civil. Why involve the police to intimidate the journalist??
That midget might be more dangerous than Buhari . I don't trust pretenders.

Nonsense. If anyone is defaming you or blackmailing you the first thing to do is to inform the police.
And this is a great opportunity for Mr. Ude to tell the police what he knows about Osinbajo.

socialmediaman:
You see everything from the lens of PDP and APC. The VP can clear his name by telling us if it truly happened or not. Is he afraid of answering questions from the press?

The burden of proof is on the accuser. Defamation of character is a crime.
The press doesn't clear you from prosecution. He has been accused of a serious crime. It is the turn of the accuser to support his claims.

Free speech indeed. The same folks who said they wanted to see Osinbajo disgraced are now complaining he is trying to clear his name?
If you are accused of a crime you go to the police to clear your name not to the public.

meccuno:
Putting "Yoruba" and "Warriors" in the same sentence sounds odd.

True, except when Benjamin Adekunle is mentioned.

socialmediaman:
Calm down bro we’re not fighting. Jackson is in the US. If the VP is serious he should go to the US where real democracy is practiced and fight the blogger in court, or write to the embassy. This is non starter, it ends here, and people like you have been won over. Case closed.

The m.oron is in the US and making up stories about things he doesn't know anything about.

This news dey sweet my belle well well .

Ishilove:
Eyah... Even though I don't think I know him. His name reminds me of that psycho who led a mass suicide in Guyana.

That was Jim Jones.

AtikuMeansJobs:
Nigeria is not rich. What Nigeria really needs now is to expand its economic base, we need to have more than 10 solid sectors firing all cylinders, i mean sectors that can employ a lot of people, instead of oil being d mainstay of our economy, build infrastructures from revenues from oil while building other sectors, invest in technical education, cut senators wage.... and we'll be alright.

Only solid investment in power supply and infrastructures like the rail network can make that possible.
There's no way around it.

Koboko444:
Nothing will make me happier than to see Pastor Osinbajo broken and humiliated. The same thing goes to all my Yoruba brothers who supported Buharis second term. I want to see Yoruba humiliated and defeated and then maybe as we will learn sense.

Rather than being humiliated he will become the next president of Nigeria.
You will wait until you become a fossil before you see Yoruba humiliated.

Leading by example. COVID-19 is real.

overdrive:
See as this woman put her husband for trouble.

They are both guilty.

Evil people. I feel so sorry for that little girl.

sofiscatedmoron:
Afonja leads here

True, there are more Afonjas like Tobechi Onwuhara and Emmanuel Nwude. You Google their names.

salbis:
Good effort from Kanye West. However, Donald Trump is going to complete his second term.

Complete ko, contemplate ni.

pocohantas:
Thank you o. Whenever I ask this question, alfa males will say I am shifting blame. Is marriage not for two people to run a home as partners? How then can one be doing this and the other will look away. Yet claim to be the better person?

When I am with anyone, I look out for how you treat people below you. Waiters, waitresses, pump attendants, doormen, drivers, conductors...etc. If you are the type that talks them down or worse, you don’t believe in altruism/philanthropy, we can not work.

God bless you. I wish more people will think this way.

Kingscee:
Your Father needs DNA test over you to be sure if his sperm produces you

Nonsense. He shouldn't speak the truth because of tribal loyalty? This is beyond sick.
Playing the ostrich is far more dangerous.

pocohantas:
If your women are worse in this, isn’t it time you take a look at the so called perfect family system. Igbo brag about having a highly functional family system. Their men are the highest alfa males in Nigeria, the ones that can make any woman submit. Yet their women be breaking heads of minors per seconds. How?

How? Because the "perfect family system" and the "alfa male" nonsense are just a figment of some people's fertile imaginations.
What "alfa" male will stand by and watch a child brutalized in this fashion. And this is not just an isolated case.

That child was targeted for elimination. So sad.

OriOko88:
I know the culprit would be ibo. Very wicked set of people, both male and female. Having an ibo step mother is the last thing a son of man should pray for, cos ibo step moms re devilish, fetish, wicked and callous. Especially those selling food and beers. Dem madt gan

This unfortunately happened to one Ibo lady I knew. Her foot was permanent disfigured because her step mother threw hot oil on her foot when she was young.
Too much wickedness.

hollah123:
who is not considering them abeg?

hope u ain't talking about northerners cos u n I know that d northerners don't trust Igbos n they know for sure if Igbos get power they will scatter d country so don't delude yourself about Igbo presidency now bro.

what are my even saying?
let's wait if PDP your beloved party will field Igbos first

Osibanjo will run under APC. The other party is free to field an ibo candidate.
