The good news is whether he continues to fail or passes, he successor has be chosen and will take over in 2027.

Nigerian are not responsible for tinubu's failure in governance it is tinubu himself that can either do the right thing and pass or continue to do the wrong thing and fail woefully.

Tinubu is a great president BUT it seems the country country has already failed,

The masses are ‘hungry’ ’ but they are still multiplying rapidly in numbers without any restraint. Smdh

FarahAideed:
Person that has failed already

Tell me one sincere policy the man has in place that was meant to fix anything ? Non!!! Absolutely non .

Subsidy removal was aimed to aid oil cabals

Coastal road was used to settle cronies

Floating the Naira was aimed to devalued the Naira and reduce disposal income of Nigerians , the poorer Nigerians are the cheaper it is to buy their loyalty .

Tax re-form was done to generate more money for the political class huge appetite and this we will all soon see


Local govt autonomy was done to try to weaken the political power governors held , I don't even know if that's working.

Yet you fail to see that SE has gone from being a toile to a latrine. 😄

sammiewrite:
I listen to the condescending tone. But more importantly, I observe the aggression, arrogance and combativeness. In as much as Sowore may feel his right is being trampled upon, those officers were the bigger people in this video. One thing I'm most grateful for is that I didn't fall into the hype to vote this guy before I got the chance to scrutinize him. He is not in any way different from the folks he is fond of criticising. Only difference between him and them is opportunity.

You are 100% correct.

This is why Nigeria’s problem is NOT limited to leadership but due to the Nigerian people. Our ‘leaders’ that we castigate so much and blame for everything are merely reflective of who we are. We have too many POS people and it is no surprise that we are at the bottom of every index related to humans.

If serial murderers, drug pushers and Kidnappers are given presidential pardon by tinubu, then a freedom fighter should also be given presidential pardon.

Tinubu should release this man if he could release murderers, kidnappers and drug barons like himself in the name of presidential pardon.

Ignorance of justice process. He can’t be pardoned before he is convicted sir. There is nothing to pardon at this stage. This is why the government seems to ignore the masses when making impossible unreasonable requests like “we are hungry” 🤤

Iceberg3:
But there are same such non commissioned title holders in virtually other regions nah ...what do you have to say about the sarkin Fulani of Lagos,Yoruba oba of Aba,etc

Oba is a major major title in Yoruba land and you be an Oba our outside Yoruba land. Any Oba in Igboland is fake. There are no Yorubas in the entirety of Igboland. We have no reason to be in that region and igbos know this.

DmonSlayer10:
Bro,You shock me with your display of lack of Knowledge!!

So you don't know that the SouthEast is the most Urban and most Developed region in the entire Country??

Try searching this fact on Google and get back to me??

Look,apart from Lagos and Abuja there's no city in the Country comparable to Onitsha,Aba,Awka,Enugu,Owerri and even Umahi's Abakaliki?

You dey whine?

Even the Lagos and Abuja we are talking about are nothing without the Igbos!!

Are you a Learner?

Lagos is developed from the hundreds of Billions in Taxes paid by over 11 million Igbo business men and Women...and from the Federal allocation from Oil revenues coming from Igbo states such as Imo,Anambra,Abia,Delta,Rivers,(Amongst other oil Producing States.Only 9 states in Number)

The socio-cultural and Economic activities of Igbos is the livewire of Lagos!!

The places in the SouthEast you can compare to Ibadan,Abeokuta and Akure are; Nsukka,Orlu,Ekwulọbịa,Agbani,

Are you not in this country?

And what is this childish talk about "IDPs"?

So "IDPs" are in your region running the show; doing well and living better than you the "host"?

Who come be the IDP?

Wisen up.Wake up.

The SouthEast is the most developed region in this country.

Stop whining yourself.

Igbos no bi your mate.

Ogbeni, I no go reply you again after this. My in laws don vex already. You this internet guys no represent the “certain tribe” 😂 well at all. You didn’t even show up for Mazi’s protest led by sowore but you’re here writing with muscles.
Come make I go buy you a bottle of bear, n wa ta go?

Una go just annoy person with this una loud mouth. Most urban ko most urbanise ni.

Irony1:
Dude Lagos is home to all. Also it is the ancestral home of Yorubas only indigenous to Lagos. So anyone from Ogun cannot say he is from Lagos

Ok Chinedu, who are you? To tell the great Yorubas who is who is Ilu Eko? Wow! Omunna don lose am.

Imagine! Terrorists reigning supremely in a sovereign nation. Terrible country with terrible leaders

Leaders! leaders! leaders!

Are these leaders foreigners? Are they not a reflection of the Nigerian people?

Why is BBC only ever interested in bad news when it comes to Africa?

Ala Igbo is not rotting. Ala Igbo is more developed than the southwest region. Lagos is home to all Nigerians, was built by Nigerians as federal capital.

This utterances only ever comes out of one mouth or a particular section of this country, the certain tribe that I have spoken about whose homeland as we speak is in shambles and they can’t go or are running away from there. We the owners, the powerbrokers, the commandants of the military organs, the kingmakers of this country know the homeland we belong to. Nobody ever says Lagos is home to all. LAGOS IS NOT HOME TO ALL. It is home to the indigenous Yoruba people only, but it accommodates other Nigerians who wishes to abide by its law, culture and traditions, and are subjects of the one and only first class traditional ruler of the land, the Oba of Lagos.

Nwanne! You may not come from a hierarchical society but please understand that Lagos has been in existence centuries before Nigeria.

DmonSlayer10:
If that "certain tribe" will never ever have Presidential power then know it that Nigeria will never ever be that dream and Ideal country you wish it to be.

Besides,it's clear the Presidency run by that "certain tribe" is what will fix Nigeria.

Why?

Because rhe requisite attributes in character: the can-do spirit and the X-factor for successes are regular traits in the peoples of that "certain tribe

I'm sure you already know but choose to grandstand.

Factors..
Known and unknown....necessary for succeses in endeavours are in the traits of an average Igbo,more than in an average black African.

Yet you wish they shouldn't be given an opportunity to fix Nigeria for you?

No bi activities of demons be dis?

Anyways,I don't think the Igbos even really have that consuming need of Nigeria's Presidency like other Nigerian tribes...

They're so self-content in the successes of their personal and collective lives that I doubt if they need your Presidency to feel good about themselves.

It's you who need Igbo Presidency for your own good...not them.

What most of them actually need is a separate country or a Regional Autonomy so they can compete with China,Japan and the USA.

They believe that the Nigerian system is stiffling their potentials.

And that brings us to your "Constitutional amendments"

There can never be any new laws forbidding Igbos from voting anywhere they are or choosing to live anywhere they like.

It makes you appear like an illiterate or like a child when you think like this?

Any laws fashioned along that line will be the laws that'll divide Nigeria...

...which most Igbos want but your people don't want.

So stop letting issues about that "certain tribe" beffuddle your mind.

Learn to love them or suffer for it

After reading your emotional response, there is no point in continuing this conversation with you.

If the certain tribe was ever as good as stated, it would reflect visibly and incontrovertibly on their homeland. The extreme opposite is the case…infact they are IDPs in my own region. Their priorities lies in the immediate salvation of their ancestral part of the country not pouncing around in my city in expensive cars raising their shoulders whilst expending their youthful energies developing a land which has a ready, competent, politically savvy, powerful, empire building owners (the current ruling tribe).

discusant:
Abuja?

Akinola Aguda was used to proclaim that Lagos is no longer fit as Nigeria's capital. Abuja came. Yorubas living in Lagos as civil servants trooped to Abuja and abandoned Lagos. There were few Igbos in the civil service then, Igbos in Lagos as traders remained behind to build Lagos.

For the umpteenth time: you can never have a Lagos where non Yoruba residents cannot vote or be voted for. You can demolish the whole of Lagos now, but you can't have a Nigeria where people can't be voted for or vote for others where they live in elections

Stop listening to Bayo Onanuga.

This is so so sad, and yet you are unknown unrecognised excluded from everything Lagos. You are an outsider and whole Yoruba nation will ensure the current status quo.

So they left Alaigbo to rot but stayed to “build” someone else’s homeland. Reason am naw nwanne 🤷🏾‍♀️😂😂 I feel shame for you when I see your elders in Lagos, stuck in my homeland can’t return home to rest and pass on peacefully.
Ok ooo…

Your forefathers fought to keep Nigeria one but your generation does not understand what a country means.
Spitting.

You can't have one country divided by traditional boundaries.

English people are original to London, but no English person would describe a Welshman or Scottish person living in London as a stranger in London.
Lagos was built with cash from crude oil in the Southeast and southsouth,

Ranting/Yapping nonsense in the internet space won’t change realities on the ground.

And for the 1millionth time, SE does not have any oil. Refrain from making false claims on the internet.

Next thing you’ll tell me I am a hater or tribalist. No! I want to protect my heritage, traditions and culture.

You should do the same.

Na only una dey make this false claims. ABUJA is Nigeria’s one and only FCT.

You’re focusing on theory instead of the practical. You are already forcing potential constitutional amendments with your behaviour. This provision is already identified as a serious error in the current constitution, “live anywhere vote anywhere” is a careless and thoughtless provision in a federation like Nigeria. We have to insert some restrictions and safeguard to avoid chaos, tribal land boundaries, voting conditions if you are away from your homeland, Easterners (a particular tribe) are reckless ill-intent covetous migration (Easterns IDP flooding to Yoruba land etc). The last election laid bare the folly of these provisions in the constitution.

Your first job as a man is to develop and improve and fight for your fatherland to secure it for your women, children and people.

I am doing that for Yoruba land.

NOTICE

My Yoruba people, it’s time for us to go to China directly to procure our goods instead of buying from a reseller in Nigeria. It’s pure buying shipping clearing and selling. This is NOT rocket science and there are plenty of Chinese partners waiting to trade with you including financing. We can’t allow ourselves to believe the jargons we are fed by people who are exploiting and extorting us.
China is open to business relationships with anyone willing.
Our forefathers were accomplished and renowned traders but the last 2/3 generations allowed western academic education to neutralise this longstanding trading traditions. The history is well documented. It’s time to wake up and reclaim our ancestors trading accolades.
We must alter the commercial structure of our states EKO, ogun, oyo, ondo, Ekiti, kwara and other Yoruba territories in Kogi, Edo etc

discusant:
More Yorubas left Nigeria than the Igbo.
Only a mentally deranged person would celebrate because a part of his country is backward.
In any case, take out Lagos, no part of Yorubas land is more developed than the southeast.

Now I am not and will never celebrate the backwardness of certain region of my country. But I object to the local people abandoning their land to continue their usual chaotic unruly lawless behaviour in someone else’s land. And they’ve chose MY ANCESTRAL LAND!!!

discusant:
Nigeria's major income is from crude oil and gas in the Niger delta region.
Therefore your region must stop collecting federal allocations from Abuja for your region. Develop more sense. If you want Lagos solely for your region, declare Oduduwa Republic immediately.

We will not declare any oduduwa republic to assert our authority on our land in our region. We are hosting you at the moment and we can equally withdraw your welcome (which is already in the first stage). You will live by our rules, regulations and traditions, and you will have minimal to no participation in our local governance. If that makes you unhappy just move elsewhere or go back home.
If you want to dismantle 3rd mainland bridge and other FG installations, and take them to Awka or wherever, go right ahead.

My grandfather migrated to Ibadan when it was still the capital of the western region, before Oyo state was created, my father was born in Oyo state & has lived here all his life, I in turn was born here & has lived here all my life, why will someone say o, u are not from here because my last name doesn’t sound Yoruba?

You are not Yoruba period! That’s an objective fact… normally you will be assimilated and your allegiance must be to Ibadan/Oyo state and that must be demonstrated in all your activities in life. You cannot be a full fledge Yoruba of oyo state indigeneship. No!
That’s the price immigrants have to pay until many generations have passed.

ibedun:
Ordinarily You inherit and retain the indigeneship of your father.This is why we must put some restrictions and safeguards to protect people’s land from covetous usurpers and to separately people like your dad who has moved to another region and lived there for a very long time. Just look at the ongoing invasion of Lagos and ogun state by this one particular tribe. Is that acceptable to you?

If you identify and make allegiance to the land and the traditional authorities of the land your father migrated to. Like marry from there and fully adopt their custom and traditions.

My grandfather was from the former mid western region, he moved to the western region in 1966, he gave birth to my father In Oyo state created out of the old western region in 1970 & my father has lived here all his life,married an Ibadan lady, I was born in Oyo state in 1987, where am I from?

Ordinarily You inherit and retain the indigeneship of your father.This is why we must put some restrictions and safeguards to protect people’s land from covetous usurpers and to separately recognise people like your dad who has moved to another region and lived there for a very long time.

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING IS IN THE EATING

hopefully people understand the above statement. People don’t run away in their millions and abandon their ANCESTRAL homeland to live like IDPs elsewhere. Extremely diabolical

Na you sabi. I want my ancestral land and heritage protected from those who covet it. Using bogus unwise constitutional provisions to attempt to steal or co-own my land which could lead to chaos and internal war.

buckeyemedia:
I lived in the United States, a true mode of a Federal system, will not waste my time bantering with u.

The constitution is unambiguous, every Nigerian is free to live & work anywhere within the federation, makes no mention of so called indigeneship.

The United States is a stolen land where the indigenous peoples have been wiped out. So the USA is not the standard.
Nigeria is a very different country, it’s a federation of several disparate peoples and nations with their own customs, traditions, culture and identity.
The constitution of Nigeria will now HAVE to be amended to prevent the ongoing abuse and absolute violation of the provisions by one certain particular tribe. It is getting out of hand. Why should they prefer my ancestral land to their own? And making constant provocative attempts to violate and usurp my traditional rulership, laws and custom? The constitution will need to put in restrictions and safeguards to curtail and stop the abuse!

DmonSlayer10:
Bro,I haven't ever seen such bitter and venomous vitriol against the Igbos like this....

Becareful the cancer from the biles of Hateful bigotry doesn't eat you up or cause you self-destruct.

Nobody hates Igbos like this and survives(Ask Adeyinka Grandson)

Now listen; When last did you hear there was ever a riot or Violence or "brute Force" targeting Igbos in the North(as it used to be in the 80s and early 90s)

This is because it is well-known that the Igbos have armed and organised themselves; not just with their Various militia groups...home and away... but individually and in their unions.

So Perish any Wish-ful thought to see Igbos attacked (Cos that's your desire and it can't bode well for you )

Anywhere Igbos are,if You come after them...by "Lawfare" or Warfare...it won't end well for you.

They are war-ready by nature.

Fulanis comes second in Nigeria.

A man tried an Igbo Recently at Mandilas and paid for it.

Three Political thugs tried Igbo voters at Okota in 2019 and paid with their lives...

You need to be in their Whassap Groups or Union meetings to see how prepared they are to deal with any threats from radicals and extremists....

Especially in the run up to the 2027 Elections .

Becareful of Igbos bro.Those glamorous shops and trappings of affluence means nothing if they are under threats.

And don't hope on "Lawfare" to "Cut them to size" cos they know their Rights viz-a-viz the Provisions of the Constitution of their Country.

They have the financial muscle,the numbers,the persons,the instruments of coercion and influence and all the wherewithal to Deal with anybody or group in a "Lawfare" and to pursue the case to any length.

If they choose to abstain from any "Lawfare" it is because it is not worth their time...

...or they choose to respect sensibilities!!

So stop wishing them ill-fate.It can never happen.Its more like one digging his own grave.

Instead focus on a win-win situation with them; Learn to work with and benefit in associating with them.

Discountenance any aspect of them you don't like (Nobody or tribe is perfect) and focus on their great qualities.

For instance you can...amongst many things...send your tribesmen or brothers or sisters to them to help you train...for 5 years...and then Empower them with capital....in Profitable lines of businesses(As they do in their Culture)

Do anything to gain from them but stop hating them.

Cho Cho Cho mouth!

What happened to your own land and region? You can no longer hide your IDP status.

2027 is coming and you will still be asked politely to go and vote in your region.

The coming constitutional amendment will address the “I can live anywhere I prefer” mentality and orientation. We must insert some restrictions and safeguards because a certain tribe is abusing that provision and setting us up for chaos and God forbid Rwanda.

Everybody can get arms but when the dust settles everybody will go back to their villages. But beware other Nigerians are watching and are aghast at the overreach’s of the certain tribe. There are political consequences as well meaning the certain tribe will never have presidential powers in our common entity.

buckeyemedia:
My assertion is that the Igbos are like the Jews they move around & settle in different places & call those places home, but still holding on to wherever they are originally from, hence they try & go home during the Christmas season, or whatever cultural events, generations may pass, & to maintain their identity they try to replicate their culture wherever they are residing, not to lose track of their heritage, which most times is in conflict with the indigenous people.

Honestly speaking maybe because having lived in the United, I see nothing wrong with them.

If u were born in a certain part of the country, or u have lived there for a certain number of years, nothing should restrict u from claiming that u are from that place.

A Hausa boy born in Lagos, should be as Lagosians, as a Lagos man who gave birth to his son in Kano.

This thinking is for those who fail to accept we are a federation of several nations. This is indigeneship is emphasised in the constitution. Craze dey worry some people I swear. You can’t belong where you don’t belong. You are NOT lagosian and that matter is settled. Think home!

It is part of the hate of SW president to SE.
If obi ever leave the coalition even if he is not the flag bearer. I will never bother going out to vote him again. The SW president must be removed in 2027 by any means necessary.
The SE governor can all decamp to apc.The SE will never ever vote him.Many will prefer to loose that hand than use it to vote him
