I didn't use hate, I used HATER which is much different from hate although this would be called racist if it happened abroad. Without a shred of evidence people are calling a 16 year old girl a man. U don't make accusations like that without evidence.

I have seen loads of women in Nigeria with that type of strong face.

If she didn't score 4 goals nobody would have said a word.

Nigerians are funny. How could you get be a hater without hating?

BascoVanVeli:
Africans are at times the biggest haters. Someone cannot do something good without getting backlash. At least they didn't make this one strip naked.

There is nothing good about the dude's appearance or the goals he scored. This dude should not be involved with female sports.

Crude oil that's nothing in Ijaw land.
Its just everywhere.
See my farm all over it Its like they pour black oil inside the holes whenever I dig them to plant plantains.
The LNG say they will come and settle us and they are still in Gbarain Clan Bayelsa.
Waiting for the day they will come and settle me in my farm concerning all those crude oil wey no fit make person work.
My family lands ones still dey there.
We are all waiting for them.
Say they are coming this year to start taking it.
All LNG do is discover oil here and there in my town but never come dey take am.

A liar!!! Plantain does not grow in a crude oil-contaminated soil.

Wike castigated the candidature of Peter Obi while still PDP governor from the south.

naijaguy1234:
IPOB no let children of rich ibo people come home to vie for elective positions , they prefer to stay in safe south west of Nigeria rather than go to the east for election. As usual they will deny this fact.

Ndigbo are not wired as second fiddle.

Buddha3:
Why are you Igbos so unnecessarily bitter most of the time? I'm tempted to believe the submissions from most Nairalanders here about you people. I am a Cross Riverian and always favourably disposed to whatever benefits the South in its entirety but the bile with which you Easterners approach issues is becoming worrisome.

Even if you want to promote the personality of Peter Obi, do you have to demean Wike's in the process? So Patience Jonathan made him who he is today, and Peter Obi just woke up from his bedroom and won the Anambra Governorship without the guidance and assistance of anybody in political circles? Politically speaking, Nyesom Wike stands heights above Peter Obi. Outside the Governorship seat, Wike has held other relevant political offices and holds the sort of political audacity that Peter Obi can only wish for.

Some of you really need to slow the fvck down! Nyesom Wike has every reason to blow hot and air his views on issues. Call him what you may on Nairaland, it doesn't change the fact that he's currently the Number One Citizen of an entire state and you're as good as a nobody behind an android keypad.

The bolded in the above crap holistically declared you as ignoramus.

Charmingrascal:
I can accept the fact that Atiku could pose a threat to Tinubu but believe me even Obi himself knows that he is no match for Tinubu if he eventually wins APC Presidential ticket, even though I don't pray for that to happen.




And where Tinubu is playing politics we all know this �

Tinubu is a local, tribal and Islamic politician. Remove the three from Tinubu, he is very ordinary.

With the emergence of a northerner as its presidential candidate, I wonder how Afenifere, PANDEM, Ohaeneze Ndigbo, the Middle Belt Forum and the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum now feel about their favoured child known as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)?

The virulent and avowed opposition that these august and highly respected bodies had against a northern presidential candidate has been overuled by their party. Their call for an Igbo presidential candidate has been ignored and treated with contempt and disdain. Their preferred party is fielding a northerner and there is nothing they can do about it. They have been misled, fooled and scammed and they have no influence or power over the affairs of their favoured party.

Despite their revered age, wealth of knowledge, profound insight and depth of wisdom, their PDP has tossed their collective counsel into the dustbin. Permit me to welcome them to the world of ‘real politik’ and I advise that they stop allowing themselves to be so easily manipulated and deceived.

Politics is a game of numbers where words and the knowledge of history alone count for little and where only insight, passion, a firm resolve and a large war chest coupled with the ability to conspire and the courage to build bridges even with past adversaries and former foes are the keys to success.

In this game, like the words of Shakespeare’s witches in his famous play ‘Macbeth’, “fair is foul and foul is fair: hover through the fog and filthy air!”

It is a strange and difficult game filled with intrigue, betrayal and treachery. It is murky, it is foggy, it is dark, it is treacherous, it is full of intrigue and mystery and nothing is as it seems or appears.

They thought their PDP would produce a southern candidate even if the APC failed to do so but now they know that the trust they bestowed on their arrant yet favoured child was misplaced. This was a shocker to them. And let me assure them that more shockers and surprises are coming.

I believe it is time that they start thinking differently and adopting a new approach in order to achieve their noble objectives of a fair, equitable and just Nigeria in which we are all equals regardless of ethnicity or faith.

Constantly supporting and relying on the PDP and hoping they will come to power to do something new, fix the problems and provide the solutions is an ill-placed illusion and dangerous delusion. It simply cannot work. I advise them to have a rethink and to realign.

In doing so they may well make a difference and achieve their noble objectives. Now permit me to get to the meat of this essay.

It is interesting to note and quite an irony that the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC), a party that the opposition PDP has wrongly labelled as a bunch of northern irredentists and hegemonists, are now the ones that could possibly provide a southerner as their flag bearer.

Conversely, the PDP, the party that has always claimed to champion the precepts of equity, justice and southern rights and that has always prided itself on its strong southern base, has opted to give its presidential flag to a northerner.

They turned their backs on the people of the south-east who have given them more support than any other ethnic nationality in the country over the last 23 years.

They spurned the people of the Middle Belt who saw in them a hope of salvation and emancipation. They rejected the people of the south-south whose sons and daughters stood firmly behind them through thick and thin.

Finally, they displayed their usual and utter contempt for the people of the south-west who they have always regarded as nothing but the biblical “hewers of the wood and the drawers of the water” and the poor relatives of the party ever since President Olusegun Obasanjo left power in 2007.

Worse still they gave their ticket to a man who is the best of friends with Sheik Ahmad Gumi, the defender-in-chief of the terrorists of the north-west, they gave it to a man who withdrew a public condemnation of the savage lynching of Miss Deborah Emmanuel in Sokoto and they gave it to a man that refused to condemn the brutal slaughter of a pregnant Fulani lady and her four children in Anambra.

They gave their ticket to a man that lost the 2019 election and promptly left the country for three long years for beautiful Dubai, abandoning all his followers and supporters to weather the Nigerian storm and waters. How this man can sleep at night I really don’t know!

They gave their ticket to a man who is soft on the terrorists that are butchering the people of the north-west and north-east and who has offered no solution to the plague of unknown gunmen and terrorists that are slaughtering people in the south-east.

Is this a party that can be trusted with power? Have they not become the very monster that they once claimed to seek to oppose and destroy? Have the tables not turned? Has the party not been taken over by faceless hardliners with a hidden agenda? Can the people of the south-west, south-east, south-south, north-central or even north-west and north-east trust Atiku with power? I have my doubts.

The truth is that the PDP has been high-jacked by a dangerous cabal who have utter contempt for anyone and everyone that is not part of their inner circle. Many ask, who are those in this cabal? Who are those that now control the PDP and that ensured that Nyesom Wike was defeated and Atiku emerged?

The same forces ensured the emergence of Atiku at the Port Harcourt Convention in 2018 by whispering his name at the last minute to the relevant stakeholders and they have done it again in 2022.

How can a serious political party not afford Ayo Fayose and Dele Momodu at least one vote each at its presidential primaries simply because they refused to bribe the delegates? How can they lose Rabiu Kwankwaso, Peter Obi and Enyinnaya Abaribe to other smaller and totally inconsequential parties just before their convention? How can they deny Pius Anyim the presidential ticket? How can they not encourage Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who is the best of them and the brightest star in the south-east, to run for the nomination?

How can they reduce Emmanuel Udom to 13 votes, Bala Mohammed to 20 votes and Bukola Saraki to 70votes and how can they deal such a ruthless death blow to the aspirations of Nyesom Wike who struggled so hard to bring the presidential ticket to the south? Had it not been for Aminu Tambuwal’s decision to back Atiku at the last minute, Wike would have won with flying colours. And look at their convention itself? Was it not a show of shame where the highest bidder simply took the prize? Were the activities not worse than those in an 18th-century Parisian LovePeddler house where money was exchanged for services rendered?

This was not an election but a shameless gathering of corrupt souls in which the dollar determined the outcome at the behest of its providers. The delegates were bought and their price was on open display. It was a shameful dollarfest in which honour, decency, politics, merit and seriousness had no place. It was a jamboree of spending and an act of open worship to Mammon, the god of money.

A candidate that emerges from such a gathering and as a consequence of the invocation of such dark and bestial forces and powers cannot be expected to do any good.

If there was any reason for INEC to nullify a party convention this particular one provided it.

Put together, the PDP convention was worse than an Arab carpet bazaar and an Indian brothel all rolled into one. It stank to high heavens and it resulted in a shameless mess which lacked any pretence to legitimacy. The truth is that there really is something defective about the thought processes and reasoning of the PDP. Time will prove that.

Interestingly there are many in the ruling APC who have expressed a strong preference for a southern presidential candidate for 2023 and most of them are from the north. Would it not be a remarkable thing if President Muhammadu Buhari, the man many in the south have constantly viewed with suspicion and scepticism and who many have wrongly labelled as an ethnic warlord and religious bigot, was the one that gave the south what they wanted?

And make no mistake about it, this decision is Buhari’s and his alone. He alone will most likely determine who APC will field and where that person comes from. If he chooses to stop any presidential aspirant from emerging even at this late stage he can do so, no matter how popular, rich and powerful that aspirant may be.

Just one phone call from him to the relevant stakeholders can achieve that. He can also endorse the weakest and most unlikely contender even at the last minute and that person will emerge. Such is the respect, trust and affection that the leaders and members of the party at every level have for him.

As they say, he has the “yam and the knife” and he can determine what will happen or choose to sit back and allow all the aspirants to slug it out until the best man wins. I am on record as saying that the three zones that ought to be considered for the nomination before others are the south-east, north-central and north-east and I stand by that.

Compared to the south-west, north-west and south-south, none of them has had a fair crack of the whip when it comes to democratically-elected presidents and they all deserve to have their chance.

They are not slaves and they need to be encouraged, given a sense of purpose and carried along. I maintain this position even if I am the only one that refuses to hedge my bets and say so publicly.

I also maintain that it would be easier for a northerner to defeat Atiku but, if truth be told, it would also be a reflection of the courage and sense of fairness of the president and the APC, even if it means risking the 2023 election, it is better to do the right and proper thing, assuage the fears and worries of the south, honour past commitments and allow a southerner to take over.

This alone will make Buhari a hero above all else. This alone will give Nigeria a new lease of life and will restore and strengthen north/south relations.

This alone will assuage the feelings and heal the wounds of those that live in perpetual fear of northern hegemony and domination and quench the awesome fire of the militants and separatists that thrive in the south-east, south-west and south-south. This alone will send a strong signal to Boko Haram, ISWAP, the killer herdsmen and the foreign terrorists that they have failed to destroy our fragile unity and divide us.

This alone will be a legacy that will speak for our president and our party into eternity. The question, therefore, is whether we do the right thing by giving the ticket to the south or do the politically expedient thing by giving it to the north.

That choice will be made at the APC convention in a few days. Let us wait and see.

I had to say the bolded is an alien to Nigeria. Politics in Nigeria is very ethnical. "Politics is a game of numbers" in Nigeria context could easily be likened to the silly slogan of "One Nigeria".

I shall be glad if there is no Igbo character among these deceitful jokers in the picture. The facial expression of the Yoruba dude or dressed in Yoruba attire in the second picture speaks volumes.

Satan01:
u just can't see a Notherner online shouting and conducting an online poll ,,,na only the IBO's dey do that ...
u'll see something like Like for OBI and Share for Atiku ( that's how they write d name )

Northerners no get time for rubbish ,they don't shout ,no bragging ,,boko haram don finish half of them but them go still vote their own in millions and if possible billions...
easterners dey shout OBI OBI OBI but on election day instead of them to be at d polling unit voting massively for OBI ,, na online dem go dey do their own voting ,Likes&share , fighting Yoruba's names and when d election is concluded they shout foul...

wike don talk say them go suffer self ,, imagine tambuwal stepping down for Atiku and asking his delegates to vote Atiku...
that's wat Northerner's do

Now the thing is ---+- Biafra don calm down now because them get hope say Peter Obi fit get the presidency ...
make una just dey look as them will start lamenting and wanting Biafra again if OBI no go anywhere ,,, IBO pipu are their own problem not the Yoruba's and Hausa's

And we ain't giving u Biafra shit cause u pipu owe Nigeria

Mumu!!!!! Were the online polls conducted in Igbo language? I guess smartness has an issue with the poster of above crap.

Okobola146:
Nigerians are full of deceit

Nigeria is deceit extraordinary!!!

Umahi is building political bridges. He has more chances of ruling Nigeria than Peter Obi

Same with Rochas Okorocha.

Building bridges without abutments is a foolish endeavor.

BeeBeeOoh:
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has declared that he would not allow himself to be treated as a second-class citizen in the country.

Wike, who lost the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential primary election to the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, spoke on Monday while addressing Rivers people after his return from the election held in Abuja.

Lamenting the outcome of the election, Wike said the North should not claim ownership of the country, saying Nigeria does not belong to a particular geo-political zone.

He said, “We have all it takes to do whatever we want to do. It is a matter of you to be fruitful. We cannot answer second class citizens in Nigeria.

“We just used this one to tell them that enough is enough. We made them not to sleep, we made them not to eat, we made all of them from wherever they think they are coming from to know that there is somebody who can take them on.

“This country does not belong to one particular zone. If people are afraid of talking, it is their business. I cannot be a second class citizen in my country.

“They just want somebody they can control, somebody that will do whatever they want him to do, I will never be a party to that, they only people that can control me are Nigerians not the few people that want to remain in power since the military regime”.

The talk of second-class citizenship is always on the lips of goons who betrayed their forbearers. Wike or Nwaike, who are you?

baliyubla:
Instagram Skit Maker, Amarachi Amusi otherwise known as Ashmusy has taken to her social media page to celebrate her life and what she’s achieved at the age of 26.

She took a walk down memory lane to reflect on her humble beginnings living in a low cost housing (face me i face you) and she revealed that her mother used to beg for them to feed.

She also bragged that apart from GOD, no other male has a hand in her success and she is overtly thankful for the massive change her life has experienced thus far.

she wrote below;

“I HAVE ACHIEVED SO MUCH AT 26

TRAINED/TRAINING MY SIBLINGS IN A PRIVATE UNI.

BOUGHT HOUSES, BUILT SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES….ETC

SO SO SO SUPER PROUD OF MYSELF, I DON’T SAY ENOUGH.

THE ONLY “PROBABLY” MALE THAT HAS A HAND IN THIS IS GOD…AND OH MY MOTHER.

AFTER THEM, I DO IT ALL BY MYSELF. I STARTED FROM THE DAMN SCRATCH WITH NO HELP!

FROM THAT ‘FACE ME I FACE’ YOU COMPOUND, WHERE MY MOM BEGGED FOR US TO FEED..

I STARTED RUNNING UP AND DOWN BALOGUN MARKET EVERY DAMN DAY.. TO BUY HAIR FOR CUSTOMERS, DOWN TO DOING VIDEOS EVERY SINGLE DAY (SOMETIMES AGAINST MY WISH/MOOD)

I SMILE AND PLAY ON THE CAMERA AND THEN DROP MY PHONE AND CRY ON MY PILLOW.

GOSH I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF, THOSE THAT HAVE STUCK WITH ME ON THIS APP, SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING, THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU.”

Does this ignoramus have a father as in a man?

RevDesm0ndJuju:
OSU trespasser, pls remove any part of the ND from your useless Alaigbo nation


Thank you

OSU, be specific with letters. ND could be your grandfather.

When USA fought for its independence, the war cry was "Freedom or Death". Today, the war cry for IPOB is freedom or death.

@OP

The caption of your silly thread should have been "Yoruba mob Tinubu at the APC presidential screening".

I do not want the presidency of shithole called Nigeria to rest with Igbo person. I want total and unconditional disintegration of Nigeria where nation states such as Republic of Igboland should strive.

BSdetective:
You're the reason IPoB are called illiterate people's of biafra. Ohuabunwa is an established business and politician man in the south east and his opinions are representative of the opinions of a large part of the SE ruling class and it's populace, atleast he's not a nonentity like you.

I guess the opinion of any established jackass in the southwest is representative of large Yoruba ruling class. By the way, Ndigbo do not have a ruling class. You are representative of western regional government of Nigeria free educational scheme in the purest form. No wonder Chief Richard Akinjide opined the free educational scheme in western region produced only fraudulent letter writers and armed robbers.

BSdetective:
Lol Lagos the golden egg of the federal government but same Lagos that has always been an opposition state until recently? Even during the Obasanjo presidency (so called Yoruba presidency) wasn't it igbos that were virtually in the government after northerners and we knew how Obasanjo fought Lagos State and tinubu. Tinubu met Lagos IGR at #15billion and when he was leaving office it was already at #80billion. What did ibori do in his oil rich state that was enjoying oil money? What was the achievements of PDP in the south east despite them holding power at a national level for 16years?

You may have stupidly stumbled into the truth. The question is what is the Goose that laid the golden egg?

helinues:
As in, it's just ridiculous. Instead of them to fight their way out in politics, they have resorted to begging. Majority tribe for that matter

Who are "Them and They" in above crap? You looked very idiotic in attempt to appear smart.

BSdetective:

https://www.nairaland.com/7152596/2023-compensate-south-east-vp-position

Tinubu won't win come 2023 ooo, but even VP position igbos no go see ... South East or north continues and PDP has answered their prayer by giving them Atiku a northerner, God's blessing would be complete if Atiku's VP is either from the SS or SW

South East or north continues.

You are one good reason Nigeria is called basket of fools. All the educational craps fed to you could not control your empty skull to deduce that one deluded Ohuabunwa does not constitute Igbo as your stupid thread suggested.

Marsh104:
Oh God of Mercy! What do those guys take human life for? No regards any more for human life?

Can't Nnamdi Kanu write these people a letter from the prison asking them to stop this rubbish?

Anybody who opposes the self-determination struggle of another person is not qualified to be a human of anything.

Royalty83:
Simon Ekpa has successfully formatted your brain

It is funny to read hate filled crap because a group of people do no longer want to be compatriot to certain goons. Nigeria must be disintegrated, period.

helinues:
Then you guys should be ready to tag FIFA, UEFA when the security operatives arrive in town.

You guys want to be doing hide and seek in a tiny SE landmass, we shall see

The same tiny landmass wants out of the big-ass land called Nigeria; you shiver like dry leaf. I guess you realize Republic of Niger is, at least, one and half times bigger than Nigeria. Niger is a dream come true for most Nigerians.

PDP is gone!!!!! Political parties which allow a candidate to contest a position for third time are useless.

Ohuabunwa, has it occurred to you that south-east may not participate in 2023 Nigerians presidential election?

Uas36:
The 2023 PDP Presidential Candidate Hon. Atiku Abubakar has earlier today visits okirikaka, village of ogun state to discuss with traditional leaders about the upcoming race of next year presidential election. Alhaji Atiku Abukakar were well received and entertained by His Royal Highness Okuburi Malu, where yam soup was delived. Soon after consumption Alaji Abubakar Atiku danced well in the parlour.

I guess the migration of certain folks from Akwapim-Togo region to what became Nigeria is well documented.

I do not think APC can win senatorial seat in Owerri zone. It would have been PDP until now. I guess APGA has chance to displace PDP in Imo State. Adanne Betty, I think you mounted a wrong horse from the start.

Guerilla warfare is paramount in self-determination struggle.

How many PDP governors occupy government houses in northern region of Nigeria?

Most African women want to enjoy the lifestyle of Americans yet not ready to feel the speed bumps on the path. American men do not have much respect for a woman's honeypot. It is regarded as another ass.
