As long as he keeps receiving salary from this to feed his family, he will not quit. Nothing moves Obi.

Maladaise:
Because he was identified as a Yoruba soldier fighting on the Nigerian side

Blue3k:
Irrelevant we are talking about Nigeria not Australia. Their laws and history dont apply here because the constitution here hasn't been amended. There's no logical argument for discriminating against residents of the state paying same taxes to uphold the institution. Notice I have nothing to say of out if state residents or foreigners that pay a different rate.



Probably but its a good teaching moment. People should notice these politicians are ignorant about basic facts and should stop blaming the constitution for every societal issue.

MightySparrow:
Benin are claiming that Ile ifẹ came from them. They are rewriting Yoruba history.

JAWBONE:


When Sanwo-Olu lists his achievements by 2027, renaming streets should be number 1

CoronaVirusPro:
As far as Nigeria is concerned, you can not make such moves without the consent of the governor.

LGA chairmen are maids to the Governor. They are just decorations.

gidgiddy:
You keep lying to your selves that we are 'one Nigeria', propagating a non existent unity, but you are surprised that there is widespread ethnic bigotry?

Oh please!

Shikini:
Yorubas are about the biggest tribalist in Nigeria from my observation.

I live in Lagos and I am not Yoruba, not Ibo and not Hausa

givedemwotowoto:
It’s spreading because the APC leaders endorse it, they have institutionalized it. It’s everywhere now including JAMB, WAEC, everywhere you go. We have to vote Tinubu out of office as a matter of national security.

RichmondAmadi:
The Lagos street renaming and demolitions are not just acts of policy. They are deliberate strokes of exclusion. Carried out with silence. Justified with arrogance. And defended with lies.

Across Bariga and Ajeromi Ifelodun, names that carried identity were taken down. Names like Imo Eze, Emordi, and Uzor. Stripped off the map like they never mattered. Replaced with Yoruba names, celebrities, and empty neutral titles that carry no weight and no connection to the people who live there.

It was not a mistake. It was not reform. It was a warning.

You are allowed to live here. But you are not allowed to belong here.

Then they brought in the bulldozers. And they did not come with respect. They came with weapons. With thugs. With silence.

In February, they demolished parts of the Igbo dominated section of Ebute Ero Market. Shops with legal papers. Properties approved by the same government that turned around and called them illegal. Traders were not compensated. Families were not relocated. The state just erased them and moved on.

This is what oppression looks like in 2025. Clean suits. Cold press statements. And a bulldozer at dawn.

When Igbos cry foul, they are told to calm down. They are told to stop playing the victim. But how do you stay calm when your street name is changed without notice. Your market is destroyed without warning. And your community is constantly reminded that this place does not belong to you.

ASITU called it calculated expropriation. They were right.

They called it tribal aggression. They were right again.

Nobody is fooled. The people see what is going on. They feel the pressure. They hear the message. This is not your land. You can live here. But you must not grow here. You must not build here. And if you dare succeed here, we will take it away from you.

This is why trust is broken.

You cannot unite a country by terrorizing part of it. You cannot claim nationhood while you target one region for destruction. The truth is bitter. And many are scared to say it. But it must be said.

What Lagos is doing to the Igbo people is a disgrace. What Nigeria is doing by staying silent is even worse.

You remove street names without consulting the residents. You evict traders without compensation. You ignore court orders. You violate property rights. And then you defend it all in the name of progress. That is not progress. That is injustice.

And injustice breeds resentment.

Now people are asking questions they were once scared to ask. They are wondering if Biafra was wrong after all. They are calling their relatives and telling them to bring their investments back home. They are looking at Lagos and seeing not opportunity but hostility.

Yet when they look back at the East, they find no comfort either. No roads. No power. No peace. The same country that is pushing them out has made it impossible for them to return.

This is how you destroy a people. Push them out and shut them in.

The damage is not short term. This is the kind of wound that festers for years. The kind that divides generations. The kind that makes coexistence impossible.

This is bigger than Lagos. This is about the Nigerian soul.

Because what you normalize in Lagos today, you justify in other states tomorrow. What you destroy in Igbo communities today, you silence in other ethnic groups tomorrow.

Today it is Imo Street. Tomorrow it is Sokoto Road. The danger is not just in the action. The danger is in the silence.

And for those still pretending this is about regulation, the facts are clear. Court orders were ignored. Legal traders were punished. Only one group is constantly targeted. And the streets they erased were not just random names. They were stories. Memories. Roots.

If this country still wants to pretend that unity is real, then it must prove it.

Lagos must stop the demolitions. It must stop the renamings. It must return to dialogue. It must compensate those it destroyed. It must acknowledge the harm it has caused.

Nigeria must also wake up. This cannot continue. Every time you destroy trust, you open the door to disintegration.

And if you keep pushing people out, do not act surprised when they stop asking for inclusion.

They will start asking for separation.


I'm Richmond Amadi making a common sense ❤

kettykin:
If you go to the east, igbos are busy attending churches manned by yoruba pastors withheadquartersin Lagos, using GSM networks owned by yorubas , using fintechs owned by yorubas, playing yoruba music in both public and private radio station , watching movies made by yorubasshot in Lagos, using yoruba banks like GT ,FT etc for forex and for big transactions buying stocks from stock brokers in Lagos into companies with headquarters in Lagos, eating from yoruba eateries with headquarters in Lagos. The problem is really that igbos are playing the zebra in a forest filled with hyena and vultures

chopnaira:
When are you going to apologize to Ebonyi people too for all the i justice melted out to them by Anambrans and other Igbos?

LegendHero:
Most frontline newspaper just lift news on Twitter and don’t verify stuffs. They will soon give a rebuttal and apologize for sharing fake news.

I was able to debunk the fake letter in 1 min. Something a whole newspaper can’t do in over 2 hrs. They will soon take that link down from their website.

Ttalk:
This is a sad news to the ADC and the Obidients who are already scooping this few news on SM.

Because of hate they asked Bianca to reject Tinubu appointment and still come online to claim they have less appointments in the government.

I've never seen people as confused as these sets

Adexxi:
Pls quote anywhere I said Ife have authority over Oyo, Ijebus etc Infact I even mentioned that Ijebus were never under that assumed Oyo empire. Ijebus will never bow to anyone. The Oyos are still the one positioning themselves to reclaim their lost glory but we are here telling them that one comes and another one arise. If Russia can't bring back USSR back, Oyo should forget

Shikena:
You are playing smart, this did not start with this thread. Some of us follow what has been happening and all the agenda on various social platforms.

Focus on educating your own people. Yoruba kingdoms are already defined & we can't reinvent the wheel.

Adexxi:
You are right sir. Something about the Oyos is that they are too egocentric.The Oyo empire they still referring is gone forever just like the British empire, Roman empire et al, somebody needs to educate them that they should stop fighting a lost battle

It very good to travel, I've traveled to different places in Nigeria and I can always tell you that most of not all regard the Ooni as supreme and not even about Ooni but that throne of Oduduwa is so sacred to us.

Adexxi:
Today is a joyful day in Oyo, after the demise of Oba Lamidi, It took Oyo 4yrs to have a new king. Why not let it stays like that and stop bringing your dolt comparison.

But Ooni and Alaafin know their places in regards to Yoruba culture and kingship. Not only Osun people will argue that but other state like Ekiti, Ondo Ogun will always align with Ooni over any supremacy battle

Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command in a sustained war against kidnapping have killed two suspected kidnappers during a raid on their hideout on Thursday.

The operatives also rescued one victim and recovered their weapons, according to a statement on Friday, by the Command's spokesperson, DSP Daniel Ndukwe. Ndukwe said, "On October 17, 2024, around 8pm, operatives from the Enugu State Police Command's Anti-Kidnapping, Distress Response and Special Intervention Squads, raided a kidnappers' hideout in Nokpa-Nike, Enugu East Local Government Area, following a diligently gathered actionable intelligence.

"Upon the operatives' arrival, the kidnappers opened fire, prompting a return of fire. In the process, two of the suspects were neutralised, while others fled with varying degrees of gunshot injuries." He revealed a manhunt for the fleeing suspects and others linked to the syndicate had been launched, noting that Enugu State would no longer be safe for the criminals and their collaborators.

He added, "A male victim, identified as the personal assistant (PA) to a public figure (names withheld), kidnapped by the gang on September 27, 2024, in Trans-Ekulu, Enugu, was rescued unharmed.

"During the operation, the police recovered one G-3 rifle, two AK-47 rifles, three magazines, and one hundred and twenty-five rounds of live ammunition.

"Preliminary investigations reveal that this criminal group had demanded a ransom of N40,000,000 for the release of the victim. The group is also found to be responsible for several kidnappings within Enugu metropolis and its environs.

"Some of their members had previously been arrested and arraigned in court, with firearms and ammunition recovered from them." Ndukwe also disclosed that the buildings the criminals used for the criminal acts, including the present one, had been destroyed by the Enugu State government.

He said the Commissioner of Police, Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu, commended the operatives' efforts and reiterated the command’s unwavering resolve to eradicate violent crimes in the state. He called on the public to remain law-abiding, vigilant, and to support the police in their efforts.
