It is safe to tag you an ignoramus.

But my guy, talk true, the woman take style fine ooo

Which fine? I guess bad stream of thought is another factor in the backwardness of Nigeria.

Zulum500:
Your m@m should be addressed about that

Unfortunately, there are many fools who gain access to the Internet.

I hear she left her husband... Abi her husband left her

I guess the husband left her for wearing tonnage of wax as makeup and dead woman's hair in the name of wig.

See painment broke bloockhe@d

I guess the goon in this discussion is a person who wears dead woman's hair to form beauty and the jackasses who tend to support. Have these fools from Africa seen any European woman or even Asian woman wearing artificial hair?

Only a pitiful goon thinks there is lack of peace and progress in southeast.

Travellers across the South-East states who were returning to their various destinations after the Yuletide celebration were on Monday stranded and unable to make return journeys as the roads and motor parks were deserted because of the Monday sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra.

Most of them who had wanted to embark on their return journey had to sit back, thereby postponing their travels to Tuesday as economic and commercial activities did not hold.

Our correspondent who visited the major cities of Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia and some parts of Awka, in Anambra State, observed that markets, motor parks, petrol stations, banks and offices remained shut. Schools did not also open for academic activities.

The Second Niger Bridge which had witnessed an appreciable increase in vehicular movements on a daily basis, since the opening of the lane for Westbound traffic, was also quiet as motorists avoided the place.

The ever-bubbling Onitsha motor parks and environs remained quiet and devoid of activities which the area is noted for.

A traveller, identified as Chioma Daniel, who came to Onitsha park, hoping to get a vehicle to Lagos, expressed surprise that there were no vehicles available at the parks.

Daniel said, “Our people started sitting at home again at the beginning of 2023. I did not know that this sit-at-home is serious like this. I came to the park hoping to get a vehicle going to Lagos as work has resumed, but the parks are under lock and key. I will have to go home and come back tomorrow.

“This is absolutely senseless, our people should realise that this is a destructive exercise that is causing economic hardship to us. It does not do the region any good. Inasmuch as the state government had pleaded that people should ignore the sit-at-home, they have refused to listen.”

Also reacting on the development, which seemed to worsen on Monday, the National President of a human rights group, Human Dignity Restoration Association, Rev. Jude Achebe, said sit-at-home has become an ill wind that blows nobody any good, which has to be stopped immediately.

Achebe decried the hardship and attack being meted out to innocent indigenes and non-indigenes, lamenting that criminals have capitalised on the situation to maim, assault, and rob.

He called for an election of a President that will listen to the cries of the Igbo and other agitators from other tribes in the coming general election for peaceful co-existence.

The rights advocate stressed the need for synergy between the government security operatives and the people to help beef up security with a view to tackling the sit-at-home.

“Our people are not happy and because we are grieved, that is why we agitate, why must we shoot ourselves by this sit-at-home that causes economic hardship to us,” he said.

Any person from southeast who chose to travel on Monday is redundant fool. The idea of self-determination should be paramount to any Igbo son or daughter. Why would the dumbass, called Chioma Daniel, not be stranded at the empty motor park. Any Igbo chap who wears English name as a surname suffers from inferior mentality. They are the dingbats not wanted in a civilized society such as Igbo.

Asgard73:
Yoruba will always create propaganda to hype themselves knowing their market value keep devaluating ..

Imagine the lamba from the op..

So now as Yoruba the use their language the make noise .. be say Twitter and the rest social media na Yoruba

Butterflies wey they always think themselves mountain eagles

Very funny

I guess the Op has mental issue. Igbo language is sparingly used in Nollywood since the language of choice is English. Yoruba movies were not part of Nollywood and completely irrelevant in the mix of things about Nollywood.

Felimax:
Go and dismantle your family.

Hegoat!

I guess you could not have been born if the same mindset occupied those who supported the so-called founding fathers of the shithole called Nigeria. Nigerians fought for independence so is Simon Ekpa fighting for Biafra.

ITbomb:
That the proof that you can't forced people together via a document written to favour a particular group and expect to develop.

Even the ones that managed to be together (Yugoslavia and Czechoslovenia), later broke up. And since they were the last to be on their own, they are the least developed compared to the others

I keep saying our problem is not good leaders, our problem is the 1999 constitution. Even if Peter Obi wins, the way he will be ambushed, his fate will be worse than Jonathan

Even if we can't divide, we can exist as Confederates. But the eternal human problem is sharing of resources, so some group will never let go

What stops Nigeria from being divided or disintegrated?

politicoNG:
A yet-to-be-identified person has died in the Ojota area of Lago State.

A source told FIJ that two groups, suspected to be Oduduwa Peoples Congress (OPC) and Yoruba Nation agitators, clashed in the early hours of Monday, resulting in one casualty.

The source said police arrived the scene and shot teargas to disperse the crowd.

“Ojota is up in smoke,” a source told FIJ. “Police are shooting teargas, and one person is dead. There was a clash between OPC and Yoruba Nation.”

When FIJ called Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, he said he did not have specific details but was aware of the clash and the police were on ground.

https://fij.ng/article/breaking-one-killed-as-opc-yoruba-nation-agitators-clash-in-lagos/

Eyewitnesses say it is the Police v Agitators...

I must say the bolded is in the name only. There is nothing about Oduduwa in the bones of these goofy card-carrying members of APC.

BanyXchi:
But Ibadan is the second fastest growing city in West Africa according to the UN and the city is more developed than your region. During regional system when it was out capital, IBD was breaking history as the pace setting first in black Africa and
one of the largestt city in Africa after Cairo and Jo'burg. Have you been to Ibadan before... You hate Yorubas and you still want them to vote Obi?

The bolded is one of the idiotic statements read on Nairaland. Why UN instead of the study conducted by UniIbadan or UniLag or UNN? I ask why Ibadan has not been claimed as being developed by one goofy and loudmouthed Yoruba peep?

babasolution:
Though Suegbe is an old school slang,I think it best describes the condition of southern Nigerians.

The maritime school in Katsina,transportation school,naval base in Kano,NPA controlled by north,nimasa controlled by north.

See if these southerners cannot handle their affairs,if they feel too big and educated to own their own backyard,since they prefer to japa,abeg give middlebelt space to collect,not every time Fulani's alone, pls southerners hand over or lease your opportunities to the middlebeltans,let us enjoy too,no be only Fulani like freebies.

All southern opportunities and resources are being fritted away to the north.

How can a naval base and a maritime school be in Kano and Katsina,yet all military installations and institutions are also in Kaduna.

Middlebelt are sleeping ooo,southern Nigeria Na cash cow,the people are Suegbe joor.

They are even the most rooting for a Fulani to Fulani transition.

Thank God atleast free gas is coming via AKK.

1967 and Biafra/Nigeria war cannot be over reiterated. If the majority of southerners were dumb in 1967, they are dumb and blind today.

Tinubu in November, 2022: " mentioning Peter Obi name is an insult to me

Tinubu at his rally today, January 2023: Obi, Obi, Obi (x50)

He called Peter Obi name 50 times today

Reality finally setting in!!


https://www.nairaland.com/7451399/mentioning-peter-obis-name-disgrace

Tinubu is a typical Yoruba, visibly loudmouthed.

omonnakoda:
lol
Or the foolish nature of the others?
Ijaw are smarter than Ikwerre especially Kalabari are more sophisticated and educated

The bolded is a statement made out of idiocy. I guess it cannot be unconnected with the fact Ikwerre stupidly denied their lineage.

maestroferddi:
I have been saying this repeatedly...

It is so ironical the Ikwerres who were previously sidelined in Rivers politics are not using the opportunity presented to them by democracy to build bridges among other ethnic nationalities in Rivers State ...

The people who will suffer will be their children and future generations...

Please think about the bolded. Who actually sidelined Ikwerre in Rivers State politics? What are the side effects of the sidelining of Ikwerre in Rivers State politics?

Act of wearing rug on her head is a mark of inferior mentality. Europeans and Americans take 3.3 billion dollars from dumbass African women through the sale of rug called wig.

It is not funny no loudmouthed dingbat from Yoruba land claims the development of Ibadan, the capital of Oduduwa Republic.

Do not believe anything crap spewed by loudmouthed Yoruba.

LILTJAY:
European countries are more developed and among the first world countries.

They are made up of the same ethnic group in a single country.


For example England is predominantly English

France is predominantly French

Netherlands is predominantly Dutch.


These people have a common language, ancestry and a common goal.


Just look at Nigeria for example where they packed Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, ijaw into one country.


Like we have anything in common.


Imagine a country with Igbo people only, a country with Hausa people only, a country with Yoruba people only.


We don't have to worry which tribe is going to rule or if my ethnic group have senate President or federal appointment or not.


We'll focus on building our ethnic nation. I swear Nigeria must divide. We are not one

That's just my observation about developed and undeveloped country because a country like Nigeria can never developed..
#COPIED

You seemed to have your head in the correct place but the bolded. There is nothing such as "First world countries". I honestly concurred Nigeria should be unconditionally disintegrated.

TONYE001:
I just finished watching the just-conducted ObiDatti session organized by Channels TV. I returned to Nairaland to see what the public perception of this interview is, and this got me terribly disappointed.

I'm rather shocked that a good number of us have thrown objectivity to the gutters. It's disappointing that people can't make arguments with objective points. They seem to resort to abuses and throwing all sorts of tantrums.

While we engage in tribalism, thieves and crooks continue to privatize our collective wealth. While we attack each other in every electioneering period, the wrong leaders attain power.

Why don't we engage in objective discussions? Why don't we make informed decisions for once? The president must not be my brother. He must not be from my region. We only need the most convincing candidate. This is why we must listen them, analyze their thoughts, and review their pasts.

I think Mr. Obi and his colleague did a great job tonight. I'm pleased with their responses on crucial national matters like education, security, health, among others. I'm particularly pleased with their view on the emigration of Nigerian professionals.

Politics is tiring. It's too bitter. Politicians and electorates can be irrational. People can see an obvious fact and make a different proclamation because of personal gains. Greed, I'd say.

Really, what's the way forward? When will we get to a point when people will market their candidates without constituting nuisances? When will people drop their greed and see things for what they are?

When?

The best objective discussion about the shithole called Nigeria is unconditional disintegration. Nigeria will never see a day of human progress if it remains as presently configured.

ufotty2001:
The three greatest Nigeria problems are:
1. Insecurity
2. Power Supply
3. Unemployment
If these 3 can be solved Nigeria will be d greatest country on Earth.

I had to say,

1. Indiscipline
2. Power Supply
3. Network of roads

If the above is tackled, Nigeria could resemble a country. I guess the talk of greatest country on Earth is quite foolhardy.

adecz:
Buhari destroyed the military
establishment with his nepotism,
ethnocentrism & religious bigotry .☪️☪️☪️

If you aren't Fulani or Kanuri, you are
denied rightful posting or promotions.
This happen in all arms of the armed
forces including Customs & immigration.

But when it comes to dangerous postings,
it Igbo, Yoruba, Idoma, Kataf or Berom
officers that are sent, while Fulani remain
where money is and get promoted ahead
of field combatants❗️❗️☹️☹️☹️☹️

Buratai exceeded his retirement date
by over 2 years, thereby denying the
officers directly behind him, the opportunity
to rise to COAS. Officers immediately
behind him got retired while Buhari
just kept him their to tell lies of fake
military successes.

Officers are leaving out of frustration.

No, Buhari and his follow goons were used to destroy the Nigerian army from 1961 till today. Nepotism, ethnocentrism and religious bigotry created the northern soldiers and officer's cadre who killed Ironsi in 1966. The ethnical induced deployment during Biafra/Nigeria war saw the resignation of few Yoruba officers from Nigerian army. The brazen indiscipline in the Nigerian army came to fore when Gowon usurped the position of head of state over his superiors. Only Ojukwu vehemently opposed the silly idea.

Antoeni:
Following the reports of resignations by many officers and men amid the security challenges facing the country, the Nigerian Army has said it will no longer tolerate loss of interest in military service or lack of promotion as the basis for discharge.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen General Farouk Yahaya, in a letter addressed to various departments, formations of the Nigerian Army and the Ministry of Defence, said service personnel leaving the service at will did not augur well for the Army.

In the letter dated December 23, 2022, signed by Brig. Gen. Oladapo Oyelade, the COAS argued that officers leaving the Army must advance cogent reasons, stressing that loss of interest in military service would no longer be accepted.

Though he acknowledged that military service was voluntary in Nigeria, the army chief noted that opting out without serving the length of years prescribed in the military was inimical to the service considering the resources and efforts that had been put into training most of the applicants, which was meant to be utilised for the benefits of the system.

Yahaya, therefore, warned that requests for discharge or retirement without cogent reasons would no longer be entertained or granted by the Discharge Board, which assesses applications.

The letter read, “Military service in Nigeria is a voluntary service. Accordingly, able-bodied men and women apply to join to serve the colour after which they apply for re-engagement or choose to voluntarily discharge. Others in the course of service decide to go on retirement or discharge before their run out date.

“Going by the NA Forecast of Events, the Discharged Board is designed to hold quarterly to afford personnel opportunities to disengage for several reasons other than completion of ROD. The Board exercise is held bi-annually first to gather appreciable numbers of applicants, who may wish to disengage, and to be treated in bulk, while also ensuring that the process is handled in a controlled and uniformed manner.

Admittedly, service in the NA is voluntary and since it’s not a conscript army, any personnel could opt to leave at different times. Conversely, considering the resources and efforts that have been put into training most of the applicants, which requires that skills and expertise acquired is utilised for the benefits of the system, opting out without serving the length prescribed in the colour is inimical to the system.

“Also, in order to ensure (that) the expertise acquired is not easily let off by the service and to recoup the investment made to the benefits of the nation, service personnel discharging at will does not augur well for the NA. However, it was observed recently that most at times soldiers come out with various excuses to go on retirement and discharge, which are not cogent enough or professional.’’

The CoAS directed commanders to educate the soldiers under their command regarding the flimsy excuses given by those leaving the service.

He added, “In (the) light of the forgoing, you are kindly requested to educate troops under command that henceforth, reasons such as loss of interest in military service will no longer be tolerated as (the) basis for discharge. This reason is to say the least lame and therefore not accepted. Personnel are expected to explain the reason behind lack of interest e.g. ‘I do not want to fight for the country again’, ‘I have not been promoted etc’, to enable the service to make necessary amendments for the betterment of the system. Accordingly, other cogent reasons could be made for discharge from service otherwise such request would not be granted.”

However, sources informed our correspondent that many of those who left the service recently did not plead loss of interest or lack of promotion in their applications as such an excuse would be summarily dismissed and the application for discharge rejected.

‘’Soldiers leaving the service are smart enough to know that claiming loss of interest as a reason for applying for discharge will not advance their applications. Even when some of them have genuinely lost interest due to various career issues, they usually presented reasons that the board found difficult to reject,’’ a former soldier disclosed.

The above nonsensical shenanigan is such mark of indiscipline rampant in Nigeria. Imagine a directive from CoAS directed to Ministry of Defense and the Minister. Subordinates do not write directives to their superiors. No wonder I saw a One Star General with his or her convoy driving on the wrong side of the road at Orji, Imo State. For Nigeria to even think of progress, the rash of indiscipline prevalent among Nigerians must be curbed.

joyandfaith:
Peter obi surprises me. Even Tinubu that said it was an insult to mention Obi's name in his presence is now mentioning obi in his speeches.
Obi is rocking the boat with confidence. Some power brokers are behind peter obi.

The loudmouths from certain region of Nigeria remains the clog in the wheels of progress within the southern region of Nigeria in particular and Nigeria in general. They have always backed their idiocy with shameless and false laden gist.

NwaIdeato:
Here we go again with the redundant whataboutisms, when you IPOB mo.rons get fact-checked with superior argument, you resort to your old lame tactics of comparing the insecurity in the East to the North...do you now want to compete with the North over terrorism? if Boko haram and ISWAP are destroying the North, why then should I give a toss about the Northerners who have embraced this terrorism when I should otherwise care more about peace in Alaigbo? Honestly you IPOB robots are just programmed to think alike, same IQ-draining, silly and daft reasoning.

You talk about the herdsmen killings in Eha amufu and Ogbaru, the question is, WHERE ARE ESN? I thought they were sworn to the creed of their guns to defend Igboland from these herdsmen? or are ESN now online noisemakers who only know how to declare their useless economy-sabotaging sit-at- homes while terrorizing poor Igbo market women, men and children trying to fend for their families? another daft attempt at defending your terrorism! I have never seen ESN capture one single fulani herdsman trespassing in the East since they began their propaganda of lies and deceit, NEVER! I dare you to post one video of a fulani bandit who was apprehended by ESN...na to dey terrorize hapless Igbo civilians and dehumanizing female soldiers dem sabi do pass.

I just hope you don't stay in the safety of the USA, Asia or Europe while enabling the destruction of Alaigbo, cause if that's the case...may you never die well.

The bolded is a stream of thought only could come from a drooling jackass. You cannot eat your cake and have it. You displayed an instinct of idiocy by calling out the same outfit your moronic masters told you was the source of insecurity in southeast. From the birth of ESN, you and masters defined the outfit as a terror group that must be hunted down and liquidated. Any fool can become Unkown Gun Man in Nigeria. The idea the UGM is sourced from IPOB spoke volume of the intellect associated with certain Nigerians. On the December 15, 2022, I drove from Prot Harcourt to Anara. There was no police check point from Owerri to Anara however this could not be said from Elele to Umunelu which is about 7 miles with uncountable number of check points manned by all forms of paramilitary groups.
