Any yoruba still hoping to vote the Anambra fake messiah.

This is what you will get in their New Nigeria.

There will be a post Tinubu Nigeria, and you miserable, power drunk tribal 'supremacists' would suffer unprecedented retribution when that time comes, sooner than later. Possibly even before the so-called 2027, if it pleases the Lord.

Flawed list. It should be measured 'per capita'. That is, how many millionaires per 100,000 people for instance, rather than just throwing nominal numbers around. A clay footed 'giant' of nonsense like Nigeria with 200 million people cannot be claiming to compete with countries with far lesser people like South Africa or Morocco.

You must sha look for trouble, Lagos is over this, over that yet una dey enter night bus go there every day.

Person enter night bus come there come eventually buy your grand papa family house, pursue you and your 49 step siblings and 5 step mums, excavate your papa corpse from the backyard throway, and then build better structure for there. After lavishing the small money wey reach your hand on owambe, you go start to dey rant 'go back to your village' online. Is the joke not on you?

Very close call. But I'd choose Calabar over Uyo because it has a lower cost of living. But both cities are just something else. Clean, very good roads. Serene and chill. So many young fine and nubile babes (tertiary institutions na water), and enough hospitality/fun spots without too much madness or violence.

If you have 2 billion in slush funds and want to retire to a life of peaceful debauchery in Nigeria, where everyday is a holiday, then there's no better place than Calabar or Uyo.

Very underrated places. No be that rubbish, overpriced, overrated Lagos way those people no go take let us hear word.

And one coconut head was asking whether to japa or to buy a miserable land or build a useless house in sheethole Nigeria? You think japa is only an economic decision?

If we leave Tinubu alone, he will appoint yet another Yoruba creature again. That cannot be allowed to happen. Otherwise, he should contest against himself and defeat himself.

uzohrome:
Atiku my man, it's high time you retain elderly stateman. Look for someone that will would take our country to the next level and support fully.

But for now, Tinube is the best candidate and I trust him 100%

You can trust him one billion percent with your life and the lives of your children and entire family,. Nothing wrong with that because it is your right. But let him win by a free and fair election. Is that too much to ask?

Omoluabi to the core. They should rename all the non Yoruba street names in Lagos after him for making his ethnic group very proud.

Kaaaaabiyeye-esi oh.

olawonder:
Don’t worry about who the prof aligns himself with in his old age, and how he’ll be remembered… instead worry about whether or not your own father even made any mark in your own community let alone the entire world!

So you don't have your own father, or your father is not worthy of you to worry about or brag with? Always bemusing when you schumcks use this warped riposte.

Focusmind:
The Divers owe you nothing, neither to the family. Its the failure of government to equip the emergency services to perform their jobs that you should blame. Why are they called Marine police?

That's what you Nigerians know how to do best. Speak plenty big English to justify or excuse any rubbish.

Nigeria is a sad place. Imagine divers negotiating to receive N400k before agreeing to retrieve someone's body after an accident.

Tufiakwa. Useless country.

kettykin:
Something tells me that time has come for the east to go back to whatever drawing board they went to immediately the civil war ended and come up with new invigorated business logics to face the world and whatever Nigeria throws our way. The business logic will include a new igbo apprenticeship scheme, a new igbo dream, aku ruo ulo and how to to turn south eastern cities to nest investment destinations

The priority is to get rid of these violent miscreants parading around and making the East a living hell. There must be concerted efforts to eliminate these criminals and restore sanity. Otherwise, everything else will be a waste of time.

alanto:
Igbos don't have as much millionaires and billionaires as Yorubas. Only Alakija a Yoruba woman is richer than the top 10 richest igbo of all time combined.

Oya, as her ethnic 'consanguine', go to Alakija's house in Ikoyi to beg her for ordinary N100k first. If you are able to get 50 metres close to her fence without getting your two hungry legs shattered with bullets, I will congratulate you.

In these kinds of metrics, they will happily count the igbos living prosperously in Lagos among the 'South West' population.

They just travelled from far and wide to assemble and take really colourful photos, and that's about it. What a joke.

So many shortcomings. Where will I even start.

Alhaji Tekno Duro should be in the top 15, same as Runtown Mad over You. Kiss Daniel Woju also. Terry G Free Madness / Akpako Master should be somewhere in the list.

FoggedBrain:
It's a simple instruction. It won't cost you anything to put your phone on flight mode or switch it off entirely .bThere may be no serious consequences to the plane but it's an instruction.

Some of us don't obey pointless 'instructions'. The sad irony is that most of you Nigerians are extremely lawless and would seize every opportunity to demonstrate impunity, but when it comes to meaningless public posturing like this, you will be quick to form holier than thou.

Putting my phone away in my pocket is enough.


Does leaving my phone on when a plane is taking off or landing pose safety risks?

Chatgpt: Short answer: No, your phone being on during takeoff or landing does not pose any real safety risk to the aircraft.

Here’s the reality:

Modern airplanes are heavily shielded against electromagnetic interference. A single phone signal is nowhere near strong enough to interfere with navigation or communication systems.

The main reason airlines still ask passengers to switch phones to airplane mode is regulatory and operational convenience, not because your phone can crash a plane. If hundreds of phones are all trying to connect to ground towers at once, it can create signal interference (more like static noise for pilots or ground communications, not dangerous failures).

Another factor is passenger distraction. During takeoff and landing—the most critical phases of flight—crew need passengers alert and responsive, not talking, scrolling, or fumbling with devices.

So:

Risk to the plane itself: Essentially none.

Reason for the rule: To avoid minor interference, network issues, and to keep passengers focused during critical flight moments.

Shithole country. What necessitated the assembling of these despicable ragtags was to tackle the kidnapping problem, Fulani herdsmen.. Insecurity!

But as usual (as with the police, the military and others) they will leave the hard work they signed up for to start chasing rats... Yahoo boys, Civil matters, loan defaults, and general nuisance. I detest this country increasingly. We need a very hard reset on so many levels.

Plenty grammar and big English to deceive the uninitiated. You will not be the first ML'er or 'front' and neither will you be the last. They seem to creep out every other day.

They sold this one a poisoned chalice (the APC gubernatorial ticket).

Demarcation of 🇳🇬 into north and south will be interesting. Let the north have Abuja. That’s fine., I guarantee southern Nigeria will be a top 5 country in Africa and top 20 in the world. Ignorance is indeed bliss

I was naively advocating a so-called 'Southern Nigeria" years ago - until Tineeboo and his people happened in 2023 and its aftermath, so now I know better.

There is nothing like Southern Nigeria. At least not one with the gloating, shortsighted 'awa lo ni power' monsters appointing themselves to every conceivable reasonable position of the Nigerian FEDERAL government. In spite of only managing to steal a measly 8 million votes.

I have never switched off and never will. I simply tuck my phone away in my pocket when the flight is about to take off, recline into my seat, and think about my life for the next hour or so until the plane lands, that's it.

This is very interesting. I can imagine the cash flow.

The professors are as useless as the senators. Who them help?

I frankly can't see a post Tinubu Nigeria with the Yorubas sitting pretty. The crass arrogance they have displayed in these few short years will take 100 years to 'forgive'.

aribisala0:
Last year Lagos paid over 2 trillion in tax to other Nigerians from VAT alone

Just VAT

NOT to mention billions from the Ports etc

Nigerians should leave Lagos to collect its VAT and fix the bridge problem solved

And the VAT was generated from "awalokan" people alone or what exactly? You people need to choose a position and stick to it. Your puerile justifications only reinforce the 'no man's land' tag of Lagos which you funny people foam in the mouth about.

If Lagos generates bla bla bla VAT and contributes bla bla bla to the country, it is because Lagos is a MO MAN'S LAND populated by millions of Nigerians across all tribes. This tribalistic kobo kobo sense you people like to display about this Lagos would not be taken lightly. You cannot eat your cake and have it. Chop your Ondo, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti which nobody is interested in.

But Lagos?

You can't pool together the population and resources of ALL Nigerians in Lagos and still insist on your exclusive 'sope sope' awatiwa parochial protectionism. It will certainly be resisted and recalibrated, if not now, then surely in the near future. Your baba sope Chicago maestro would not be in power forever.
