Wow I love this collaboration here. This is unity here. I so much love it.

But it's bad if the whole president of the nation is trying to build bridge with other nations.

Which wealth did Mr Eazi actually create? I’m yet to see it.

He made a few local hits but never truly went international. Creatively, he was midlevel at best. His parents were middle class and there’s no proof his father left him any fortune.

Some bloggers claim he sold a company to Apple for $1B but a quick check on Techpoint shows that’s false. They also claim he owns a betting company not true, he was just a promoter.

Even the wedding hype is exaggerated. Did he really have a $14M wedding? Highly unlikely. If he did, where are the receipts?

At the end of the day, believe blogs at your own risk. Stop hyping people just because you like them.

I do not know much about figures but I do know for a fact that Easy has always been a silent mover. In Ghana, did you know he was a show promoter while he was schooling there and moving with their industry heavy weights.. Ghana millionaires are Nigeria billionaires. Even his name Easy, is a gesture on the fact that he does things so low-key and easily that they crested him Mr Eazy. That was before he decided to branch into music. He is cut from the same cloth as Asika. Those just move in different ways that you can't deny their wealth if they truly want to flaunt it. That's all I know

Nayturalistic:
Gaslighting, manipulation, hypocrisy, and the real tribalism, No tribe in this entity called Nigeria has all these traits more than the Igbos. This is the bitter truth.

That is why it is always important to critically note and follow history. When Ahmadu Bello said and I quote, "we the northerners are not alive to their responsibilities", I felt that in my bone. Same way I also felt that the North were being selfish or were just trying to exercise their dominance in the Nigerian political realm. Little did I know that he and the foremost Northerners had seen the Igbos for what they truly are.

This renaming of streets of a thing that the Westerners are now up to, is probably the most subtle thing they'll ever do to project back their dominance over their lands and protection of their heritage and culture, at the very least. This Eastern folks should really be ready for much more and I repeat, there is nothing that will happen to them that they haven't done to others.

Now to my main point and issue I have with these folks- tribalism. This word has been a word each of them have mastered well, but without understanding what it truly means to be tribalistic. The Igbos are the typical pots that call the kettle black and it is unfortunate that they have no one to ever call them to order and set them on the right path. If the last election is anything to go by, the Igbos exhibited severe tribalism and the statistics of the votes will always prove this. All in the bid to have their kinsmen in power, they are ready to even turn on their mothers. Not to mention what the international community thinks about them. And the stewpid Biafra they all keep clamoring for, someone needs to educate these folks that the Yorubas are not their obstacles as to attaining that. Infact, if this country is divided today, the Yorubas stand to be the biggest gainers and I am sure the politically informed ones will concur.

But as it is, and from now on, the Yorubas have assimilated and digested Ahmadu Bellos statement of 1960 and will now become dead to their responsibilities. No matter what. No one ever hated them, but the hatred embedded in them from childbirth will never ever allow them to see the good in other tribes. Yoruba this, Yoruba that, and yet they refuse to leave a region where they feel "threatened".

In conclusion, I have started a book on these Eastern neighbors of ours and this book is intended to go as viral as possible. We will only respect those who respects us. You do not get to be in our region (all because the constitution allows it), and still be breeding so much hatred towards us, saying all sorts to the same people who have always wanted the best for you. From now on, we will put off the tags of being "accommodating" and proudly wear the garments of being "buygots", until you people learn that the Yorubas have never been your enemy and you start showing the much expected respect.

You are making one mistake in this assumption of yours. I use to think like that before and then I stopped and looked at it from another angle. See the thing is, it's not that igbos are tribalistic or whatever, the real thing is Igbos like Arabs don't really have much respect for anything nor anyone for that long no matter what as long as you are sensed as an opposing idea to whatever it is an average Igbo man or woman may have going on at any given time. Even that line of sight doesn't extend beyond their own self.. as in person to person.. it just so happens it becomes a general trait that their culture allows. That's why it is easy to disregard anyone, organization, culture or sect that doesn't align with any of their individual benefit. Same goes with respect. It doesn't extend even to pillar symbols of respect in any human being which in this case parents. It's not unusual for an Igbo to be disrespectful towards even their own elders and kinsmen. So no it's not tribalistic, it's just they really don't give a shit about people who are not in line with their goal that much. Simple as that

Elebi.. Gen Z lawyers
Alainikanse.. Ada ni duro di oni gbese eda.

The math hasn't add up yet.. at least publicly. It's 2025, and 2027 in political timeline is a long time to be on the wrong side of the ring for any backers either from pdp camp or the so called coalition unit. Interest will have to be protected first, and in Nigeria political climate that's number one priority and not the people or the country's interest..

Oga Joe running is not the problem, him loosing under any umbrella he may step out from is their biggest concern. If he looses, Nigeria becomes a one party state automatically, maybe not on paper but politically speaking, which in a way is Tinubu's end goal. Apc continues their domination..

The real threat is, who are Jonathan's friends.. and who benefits the most. If the North which have been playing this card of opposition to create a better opportunity for their camp doesn't see a strong ally margin with Jonathan, it is a loose loose, and if they reluctantly support Tinubu while Shettima remains in the shadow as he has been doing compared to osinbajo with Buhari they may have a strong candidate in him compared to Atiku which they consider to some extent unpredictable and very much filled with animosity towards some Northern elites.

The real game is will the Ibos which Tinubu has been doing all he can to castrate and elevate at the same time be a huge difference, and more than all will yoruba elites for the sake of freedom throw him under the bus.

Any miscalculated move for all the moving part will be a detrimental one. And by the way.. Obi on the other hand now has a strong position as an independent candidate. Not to win the race though but to divert a lot of votes for either camp.. So the game begins. But as said earlier, politically 2027 is an eternity to wreck enough havoc considering Tinubu's style of game play

He just wants to hold on to what's left of his prestige. If his citizens perceive him as been weak then his regime is gone. You don't want to show mercy but you fire less missiles each passing day Explain that. The problem with this man is ego.

Israel is never going to allow any of it's close neighbors possess nuclear weapons, back in the 1980s they destroyed Iraq's nuclear program, a program that was financed by France. During the Iraq Iran war, Iraq were being funded by the western powers, including China and Soviet Union, Israel was doing the opposite, helping Iran. They took the opportunity to negotiate for Jews who were living in Iran to return to Israel.

1972,During the Munich summer Olympics terrorist attack, 9 Israeli athletes were kidnapped, 2 were killed by the Palestinian Militant Organization, Israel asked permission from West Germany to rescue their citizens, Germany were claiming experts and refused the offer. During the rescue attempt headed by West Germany, all 9 hostages were killed.
Israel hunted down each one of the kidnappers and killed them.

Isreal vowed never to allow such a thing happen again, so in 1976 When the PLO hijacked a plane full of Israeli citizens, flew it to Uganda. Idi Amin refused handing over the hijackers nor the passengers. Israel planned a secret mission, flew soldiers into Uganda, killed all the hijackers and left with all hostages. Idi Ami killed one of the hostages in retaliation, a old woman that was taken to the hospital before the rescue mission flew in. Israel still negotiated to get her body.

Fun fact, the person that led the mission was Yonathan Netanyahu, the elder brother to Benjamin Netanyahu the current prime Minister. He died in the operation.

Hate Israel all you want, but those guys are going to shed blood before they allow one Jew die in captive any where in the world.

So the mission statement is never leave a Jew behind, protect all Jews at all cost. But as a deterrent they have inevitably create a monsterism mindset within the Arab nations. To be factfual, all right is reserved to defend and protect one's citizen but at what cost. The counter productiveness of such ideas will always loom over that state called isreal. Until they are willing to accept, they are not special and with a firm commitment that they can coexist with their neighbors, their unquenchable thirst for peace will always be threatened. Which in some way lead to them being aggressive towards a group of people based on their idea that those people wants to harm them. It is true, but so is law of cause and effect. If isreal is not a tyrannical state, if they only seek legitimacy, why wouldn't they allow their neighbors be. They also have the right to harm and defend themselves

The Nigerian Police Force does need a strong overhead and a sincere one at that. But in a country where criminals are almost all the time immune to law enforcement based on leniency due to bribery. You can only go far as you are able. Nonetheless, the guy that said they need to recruit more people is also right. But who wants join the police, do the proper police work and earn meager salary that can't even take care of a 200 level undergrad.

Unfortunately, most women of nowadays
don't know how to cook .



You expect a man brought up on oha, gbegiri,
ogbono and edikang-ikong, with pounded yam
eba and akpu, to suddenly switch to Thai &
Chinese noodles with frog legs

Instead of cooking what he loves, you are
cooking whay you like...


Better wake-up or we arrange a sidechick for
him, who will be cooking what he loves..

You have said it all. Giving someone what you love is different from giving someone what they love or will love. He obviously doesn't fancy the whole Thai thing. He can support your effort for doing but he is not obligated to like it. And besides, more than 80% of Nigerians will opt for Nigerian dish compared to any other dish irregardless of the feferity attached. And you are lucky he isn't interested in looking for one small Calabar girl to be cooking for him. You will be gone within 6months. Considering the fact that Nigerian restaurant is one of the most lucrative anywhere there is a large portion of us, gives you an idea that Nigerian men don't fancy foreign dishes that much.

I am the Trump that this c r e t i n is talking to, and this is my response:

"There is no rice and beans here, so your voice is not needed."



Back to the matter: Little do people know that if the leash is loosed from Israel, and they are allowed to play by their instincts, all this cho cho cho won't be happening. Just to let you know, Israel is the most technologically advanced nation in warfare. We thought that Iran was trying, but the war has proven them to be a paper tiger and a country that Nigeria will beat hands down in technology.
Interesting to know is that Israel restrains itself due to the perception of the other nations. That is what guides them: restraint. But when America gets involved, what guides America will be INTERESTS.

And interest can be defined only by the person of interest. So pray for Iran, pray that God does not allow America look their way. Or else even the good Persian people of Iran will join the i s l a m i c J i h a d and collect in a very b a d way.

Isrral is a powerful nation no doubt but they are not invisible. And as for Nigeria and Iran technologically wise my brother rest. The few Iranians I have had the opportunity to meet while studying in Asia almost if not all study a particular discipline or occupy department. Engineering, now I do not why but I bet it's not because of building skyscrapers. Both men and women, state sponsored with heavy grants.

I will say this in a much more comfy Nigerian language. 1 to Ibos buying up. Buy
2 Yorubas welcoming them. E tu le fun wan
3. To oppositional thoughts .. recognize opportunity.
4. To future landowners lease don't sell

For those who are interested, I will like to buttress this point as I have also learned one or two on this platform ..

For able businessmen or private party interested in buying because they see a future.. keep buying. For those who are willing and wants to sell, sell justifiably. After all we all Nigerians , even if oyinbo people instigate because of one thing or the other, they are still strangers. For ones advocating against, recognize the opportunity, you can be an agent, a broker of deal, a land owner family, and need the finance to build forward, and can't negotiate for long, grab the opportunity which in turns leads to the last group, if you have a land, do you know up to 32 story high you own the land and it's airspace.? It's simple logic, which cost more an airport or it's airspace that's why you lease.. by leasing the land for 50years and it's airspace, you can get double of what you will see the land for with a proper legal framework as a backbone.. in 50 years a lot can be discovered on the land, telecommunication network for example. Not talking about the ones already in use but ones yet to come. Technology has taking over the world, and it needs land for assimilation. Data centers is just one of it's child. A lot are on the way. When you lease, you retain your land, and still insure future revenue.. with solid legals works rights and works ni o.. even the paper works alone is a collateral. So if you own a land.. regardless where you are in the world.. don't sell.. lease it out
