Igbos are the first settlers in Ife, according to Ife history. There are still abroginal Igbo settlements close to the Ooni palace.

According to Ife history, Obatala migrated from NRI to Ife where he was King. Oduduwa defeated him and usurp his throne.

Go to Ooni palace and you will hear the story.

You are right. Even Obatala is still regarded as an Ibo deity.

This Mumuric professor on the payroll of this government, is a Janja- weed terrorist

Buhari remain there

It can be both strength and weakness. The bottomline is knowing when to play your card, when to win or lose and when to leave the table with your loot intact.

The government propaganda machine doing its best to discredit the Exodus.

Ok

Where were all this military operations when Fulani people were sacking villages and kidnapping and everybody knows they are in our bushes

You are right. If they had used the same vigour and agility to airbombard killer herdsmen, there would not be unknown gunmen to contend with.

This write up came from a disgruntled elements, who is faceless and lack the boldness to confront his facts with the true reflection of the truths. You must be a member of staff that will remain faceless, non progressive fellow, and a low being without the true knowledge of channel of Communication, to clear his doubt.

Corruption will always fight back. You should desist from these shared wickedness before you will become mad.

All are frivolous allegations and lacks true hypotheses. The motive of their write-up is clear witch-hunting. We are too wise to fall for cheap talks like these. Post for the dustbins!!!

That's why it need to be investigated. Perhaps it's witchhunting as you said but probing will ensure that the accused is cleared and the accusers punished.

This should be investigated asap.

Someone on Nairalsnd asked whether it was Buhari that burned Police headquarters in Imo or freed prisoners in Owerri. I said he laid the ground work for all the shambolic failure recorded during his administration. From his 5percenter theory, killing of unarmed and peaceful protesters, appointment of his kiths and kins in juicy position, exclusion of a certain region from the apex security structure,
allowing his kins from outside the country to forcibly takeover indigenous lands across Nigeria, treating boko haram with kid gloves... The list is endless... This government has failed woefully.

In essence he is saying Nnamdi Kanu is the only genuine agitator and others will give up if their selfish ends are met.

So he is in shock that his fiery adversary has left him alone? Well I hope he will still not be in shock in 2023?

Lest I forget :, if they say you are Covid-19 positive. Accept. But, don't ever allow them to keep you in isolation.

Yinka Odumakin was one of the rare breed amongst the plethora of Nigerian leaders.. He was an outspoken, advocate of justice and good governace. He will be greatly missed. Adieu Yinka Odumakin.

One of the strongest and consistent voices against injustice and bad governance in Nigeria is gone. Rip Odumakin

Have try to find out why Igboho is agitating? They should findout his grouse before asking for his arrest.

This is sad news. What happened to him? Nigeria has just lost one of the strongest pro-justice voices. Rip Odumakin!

Lai Mohammed should just offer apology to Goodluck Jonathan..

Ok

Transfered to boko haram as usual by their men in the military. Haven't we been deradicalizing and incorporating boko haram in our military?

Useless government whose only preoccupation are to do the bidding of foreign powers.
You claim to be elected by Nigerians but your allegiance lies with foreign interests.
And from which part of the constitution did he get the idea that you are liable to 14 years imprisonment if you did not register NIN?

I've read this book which was one of the products of the numerous studies British anthropologists took upon themselves when they discovered that all measures employed by the British for effective exploitation of Igboland failed.
While it's good to remind ourselves of our uniqueness I think we have to make room to appear less threatening to others. The British know our potential and they fear what our achievement portends for Africa. You see, a very confident young man is always viewed as a threat anywhere especially by exploiters. The least such a young man should do is to extend his fearlessness to intimidate even those that could easily be his allies when his main enemies should be those exploiters. This is what this thread appears to be although you may not see it so.
The English themselves had to build a great Britain comprising neighbouring tribes (nations of Scots, Celts and Welsh) to conquer the world. Rarely do you have any nation irrespective of how gifted they may be enjoy a series of victories without adding other nations to themselves. The Russians did the same and became so large. The USA story is clear to all. Imagine what a Japan-China combo would have been! Even the USA would quake. Now compare the capabilities of Germany with their actual achievement in world politics. Very small compared to their less gifted neigbours. If only Germany was less too proud of themselves like you're encouraging us to do(hope you got the area of comparison). If only the Germans have been less so threatening than they are, they could have merged with smaller neighbouring tribes which will ultimately make them the masters of all Europe.
My point is that we should try to speak of our unique political set up and the never-give-up mindset of an average Igbo man in a way that markets us to others instead of it appearing so intimidating that it creates further hurdles for us. If you don't know, there are lots of other Africans that love our way of life and would want to learn it but the impediment will be this intimidating outlook. Let's learn from the French who despite their historical achievements still appear less intimidating than others. They have less enemies than others and continue to gain from such posture. My critism is strictly constructive and it's my hope that you understand my message.
Haters will still hate no matter what we do but let's not give room for further misunderstanding from our admirers.

Well said!, The secret of survival is to deflect envy and resentment by making others feel good about themselves while you appear less threatening.

Don't blame Danladi Umar alone. The Blame goes to everyone. Despite efforts to hide the facts that every Nigerian harbors resentment against one another, the truth will always manifest at unguarded moments. Both the seccessionists and 'one Nigerianists' know it's a mere geographical expression. Until we decide to build a nation where equity and justice reigns, we may never have a Nigeria where peace and progress exist. We will continue to ossilate indefinitely.

People like that thing they call blackpanda.

If Tinubu rapes his mom to death, blackpanda will still defend Tinubu.

Quite unfortunate to have bad leadership everywhere in this country, but the most dangerous phenomenon is blind followership. House flies which are deaf to wise counsels, will always and stubbornly, follow the Corpse to the grave.

Ffk will join apc, take vaccine, eat all shit and lick his vomit in order for them to leave him alone. I am telling you They have him by his balls.

It's unfortunate that after making this gaffe, (coupled with his antecedents in drug dealing, political violence and corruption allegations), some youths will still support this mofo to be their president in the name of ethnic and religious affiliation. Even if you enjoy having your kinsmen at the helm of affairs, why not a better one like Osibanjo?

Can you imagine the unrational outburst of a minister of federal republic of Nigeria.

A Camelion must change colour according to it's environment. The other time he asked us to show him cows as evidence that herdsmen can kill.

Tinubu and Ganduje? Me think they more like Two side of a worthless kobo!

Have we not been funding costly governance with little or no benefit? Let's try low cost governance are!
