This one, his visas should first be revoked, then his assets any where in the world. This is one of the shameless characters that have been threatening the peace and unity of Nigeria.

He should be placed ön the watch list

Tell us how will that benefit America? You really believe they care about you? Hmmm ignorance , like poverty is not good.

Ezeama400:
“ He urged Nigerians to maintain peaceful coexistence and avoid allowing religion, ethnicity, or politics to create unnecessary conflict.”



This shameless entity, were you not the one that threatened to sink a whole ethnic group into the Atlantic Ocean ?

You never thought of peaceful coexistence when you were issuing threat ?

Clown !!

We support him. The ethnic group should go and sort out their region.

Osiris12:
Oba wey threaten to push people into lagoon..

These guys should start building bunkers. B2 is coming

B2 for where? U people from that part of Nigeria too dey easy to fool. Continue celebrating nonsense. Oba has spoken.

TheGift:
I did not vote Obi. I am not an Obidient. I am not from the South East. So try again, without jumping to conclusions, this time.

I don’t give a damn sir

onez:
Tinubu is an illegitimate president who has no support. He never won the 2023 election. He is a thief that stole the people's mandate

Yes ooo, Obingo won online!! PBAT 4+4 for sure 👌

madridguy:
The same FFK who called Baba Buhari many names for the killings in the Middlebelt has suddenly attacking the US over the killings in the same region

You cannot be living in a secured estate in Lagos or Abuja and be attacking the US for trying to help the Christians in Benue, Kaduna, Plateau and Taraba.

We have to be insane and possibly sick in the head to think the USA is “trying to help”.

The Americans have no history of helping any country without shaking you down. I can’t believe the number of uninformed unaware ignorance people in our country.
America (the racist to the core country built on genocide) want to help a poor nation of negroes?

Hezzyluv:
Bukku finished tendering apologies and make do with the opportunity to advertise Bukku more.

This past elections really mess our unity more. NL is not helping matters join.

Which unity? Dey deceive una self. Go and fix your homeland.

Kai! National cake sweet die

TheGift:
See you, jumping to assumptions about who you are speaking to because of your hatred and tribalism against a people, as if you had a say in where you come from. As if if you trace your history well you will find that there is someone from the tribe you hate in you lineage.

Assumption is the lowest form of knowledge. And Tribalism is still stupid.

P.S.

Me and Fam actually stopped feeling their bread again, after they first came into the market, for some folks, the ad might be one more reason they won't even try again.

It's business, you need customers not kins men, thus you should avoid politicising or tribalising your messaging except in positive and non divisive ways, (assuming you dont want to position as the opposite)

Finally, be careful that your personal biases dont spill into your corporate communications design, development and delivery.

Oga go away with your “Hatred and Tribalism” allegations. We are no longer moved by it. You make this allegations wherever you want to have your way. The only one tribe making this allegation ms (out of 250 ethnic groups in this federation) is the Igbos. Yet you voted nearly 100% for Obi in the SE and in other places that you reside. That is a damning evidence of your tribalism. Abeg shift!!
I am backing up Bokku all the way to the hilts.

And I have very close friends, in-laws and very good neighbours that are from the SE. But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t protest my people’s interests.

SultanOfPuna:
They should come to Nigeria please

How will you transport them to Onitsha ?

AlphaTaikun:
What?! Whoa... That's incredibly awesome. That area MUST have been a huge farm settlement. A lot of folks don't realize that Ajao Estate is part of Mafoluku/Oshodi. They think erroneously that Ajao Estate is in Isolo because of its current location on the other side of the International Airport road which cut Mafoluku into two parts.

Indeed, I appreciate your sharing this aspect of your family history which is a part of the larger Yoruba history with me. This must be well-documented in the Lagos archives and libraries so that people don't come to distort Yoruba history tomorrow.

I know of some streets in the Isolo area such in as Ajao Estate with the name Farounbi and one other called Olusola Farounbi St. in the same Isolo area this is why I asked about the correct spelling. My paternal grandfather also bought land in the late 1960s in that same Isolo area. So, I know there very well. It's good to know that you are descended from an illustrious family in Yorubaland. I honestly used to think the Farounbi are Awori, now I know it's Egba but it's all good as Aworis and Egbas (Egbas themselves migrated from their home of Ibadan under Chief Sodeke to Abeokuta in the 1800s and other towns now in Ogun and Lagos States) are ancestrally related via Ile Ife descent.

Last but NOT least, indeed, huge python snakes and crocodiles are still being seen their natural habitats in parts of Lagos State such as the Lekki Peninsula, Igbo Efon was named because it was a forest of antelopes and deers, the lush green deep valley that runs behind Sheraton Hotel in Ikeja right up to Omole area where huge crocodiles and pythons are still being seen by construction workers in Omole Phase 2 thereby further emphasizing the FACT that Lagos State was a thick forest with a lot of wild animals and farming was prominent. Even as of the 1910s, I read in the Lagos archival materials that elephants where still moving around in the Agege area. Back in 1979/1980, I still remember seeing thick forests where buildings are now standing today while traveling along the entire Lagos-Abeokuta Express Way. Even Ijoko road in Ota was thickly forested along the ENTIRE stretch to Ijoko. Any new comer to that axis wouldn't know that lush green forests existed along that route just 45-46 years ago.

Cheers!

Yep! Just roughly 50 years ago Lagos state was still as rural as every other state in the federation. The only built up areas were from Yaba/Surulere to Lagos Island/VI /Ikoyi. And in the 70s Ikeja started to open up……

. 🤷🏾‍♀️

AlphaTaikun:
The Farounbis of the Isolo/Mafoluku area of Lagos State are of Egba origin? The MMIA was your great grandfather's farmland which MUST have been very big. That's historically interesting. Indeed, over 95% of what is NOW Lagos State was carved out of the Old Western Region (in what is now largely Ogun State) on May 27,1967 by General Yakubu Gowon's military government after due consultations with the traditional rulers and indigenes. The major industries of the Old Western Region set up by Chief J. Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, from the 1950s such as the Ikeja Industrial Estate, the Ilupeju Industrial Estate, the Iganmu Industrial Estate with finished products made to be exported are now located in Lagos State since 1967 due to the boundary adjustments.

Is "Farombi" the correct spelling or "Farounbi."

The farm spans from Iyana Isolo covering ajao estate, mafoluku all the way to MMIA, into parts of Ejigbo (mainly owned by Aworis). It was a big big farmland. Everybody was a farmer back then.
And thanks for the correction, that was the original spelling but nowadays we insert a ‘m’ to shorten the spelling. I may not be 100% correct about the land but I am vastly accurate.

EmekaBlue:
Lagos remains a no man's land owned by all, when the time reaches it would be shared accordingly

I’ll let the Picture below respond to you

Streetinvestor2:
Which state are u from

From Lagos State - Farombi Family who owns the land the international airport (MMA) is sitting on. That was my great grandfather’s farm. Of Egba origin . Remember most of Lagos state was carved out of what we call ogun State today.

Reason for your question?

Shawarmagirl:
Lagos is Nigeria state. No man's land.

Las las you and ya relatives will be ALRIGHT 👍

LegendHero:
Check this thread.

—Ijaws won’t complain

It is only one specific people that will have panic attack because of this short statement.

Let them go and Kpai…..
What use are you if you can’t prosper and develop your fatherland?

US gbajue valuation…….

A big massive bubble that’ll pop sooner or later.

Bobloco:
What has Tinubu done with the money saved from subsidy removal

Professional critics are ignorant and don't follow the news!

If you have to criticise the government please equip yourself with knowledge and up to date information.

Otherwise you are adding to our problems in this country. Some of you don't even understand that the government has a severe shortage of revenue. Yet you want all roads fixed, you want 24/7 electricity, you want free food from the markets, you want free schools and universities. you are all to be ignored!!!

PlasmaTV:
Very soon, this man will impose cemetery tax for dead folks.

Always borrowing and taxing.

Not a bad idea

the world is not FREE

I don't want people sitting around just making babies whilst the farms and arable lands are left wasting away...

60% of the people in Lagos and Abuja should be sent back home to their villages to farm or kpai. They are in lagos just reselling imported junk. Producing nothing and attacking government.

oz4real83:
Russia and north Korea keep testing weapons just to create fear and make gullible parts of the world believe they are the most powerful in the world. America still remains the only country that has successfully used nuclear weapons.

Western media are everywhere disseminating trash and propaganda. It’s amazing how some seemingly intelligent people soak up the propaganda hook line and sinker. There is a reason the USA has stopped its war mongering rhetoric on the Korean Peninsula and has also avoided war with any well armed country.

tnerro1:
We are just being political correct, everyone knows say if you no open eye, omo Igbo go cheat you left, right and center. And na south south I come from oooo

Absolutely, I was sold a perm sandals for N110k at a Boutique thinking I got a top class product. 3 weeks later I found exactly same sandals at Oshodi Arena selling for N28k. I felt like a real mugu….. it ‘s business but …….🤷🏾‍♀️

shortgun:
I don't know if it's ignorance or you are being mischievous.
Imo state alone has over 7 oil producing companies operating in the state. So what are the oil companies doing in the state if the oil is not in commercial quantity as you claim.

Give us the names of the companies please and where they operate from. I can then check their daily weekly monthly and annual output to corroborate your position. No wahala if I’m wrong I’ll be corrected. Statistics back up my position though bro.

Irony1:
Oga go and check data again. SE has the largest deposits of natural gas and that is key to Nigeria's future. Stop hatred and tribalism of not you will go in for it and your yoruba politicians will glady bury you to save face.

The usual gaslighting! I’m not falling for it again. Truth is not hatred or tribalism. You allege hatred or tribalism to manipulate people

Ipisi:
Gen-z

Very stubborn generation

Nigeria turn is coming fast

And we will be ready to put them down like the rabid dogs that they are. Their thoughtless parents betrayed them, bringing them to the world knowing they don’t have the means to give them a decent life and upbringing. They want to take out their frustration on society, no! Mba

essentialone:
I have a neighbour whose 4 year old son usually call me "brother", sometimes I will even play ball with him, or teach him how to ride Bicycle. Later, I observed he became withdrawn. His name is Iremide. So, we all call him, Ire.

One day, I noticed that immediately I parked my car and was stepping down, the young champ was running towards me, and the mother screamed his name to come back to her. I actually thought it was because she didn't want him to run into an oncoming car. When she realized I was puzzled, she quickly told him to go inside and eat his food. When he mentioned he was not hungry, then she told him to shaa go inside and do his assignment. As a sharp guy, I took my cue from that, but needed to find out why.

Another day, he was outside when I was just returning from my Saturdays early morning workouts, and I jokingly asked him if he will like us to play ball, his response shocked me.

"No, I will not play with you. My Mummy says you are an Omo-Ibo". In that instance, the mother came out and heard him say it. She didn't know what to say. I just shook my head. I mean I know I could lecture her on the dangers of teaching children ethnic profiling, but how many Yorubas will I go around to teach that? Beyond all the fake smiles from Yoruba friends and neighbours, I have come to know that the hatred and resentment will probably last forever, and I have come to make peace with that Fact.

Everybody will be OK las las.

Don’t blame the woman. You were welcomed and made very comfortable in our land but it may be that you have overstayed your welcome. Be honest and fair, the migration is getting out of hand, the numbers are just not manageable any more.
We can no longer welcome you here because it has turned to an invasion with ominous future consequences for our homeland.
We must redirect you back to Alaigbo.

shortgun:
There's nothing like south south geographically.
Even after the balkanization of the Eastern region, the southeast as at today officially has 3 oil producing states. So stop being ignorant by saying there's no oil in the southeast.

Of course there is oil and gas in the SE but not in the commercial quantities that you have claimed. Just correcting you bro.
