What is wrong with most Nigerians? How does the stupidity of a truck driver amount to Wike's incompetency? Trucks which carry wide loads must be accompany by a pilot or driven by a competent driver.
Rollsnjaguar: Is good government is buying made in Nigerian products.
Let's stop importatation of what we can produce here.
This is typical and moronic stream of thought only home to Africans. Countries which can produce and manufacture some of the best automobiles in world still import vehicles. Nigeria is a country which cannot boast of Iron and steel production yet produce automobile. What a delusion.
I do not know what to make of Nigeria. What the hell is the governor of Lagos State doing in a firefighting suit? Is he a firefighter? Every day, one fool will create a dumb act for Nigeria.
JEWELofHELL666: Thanks for letting me know you know more than New York Times and all of us combined. Your comprehension skill is far superior to ours, no doubt, boss.
The same New York Time which tagged the laptop story of Hunter Biden as Russian propaganda now claimed the story is authentic. I can state without equivocation that New York Times does not represent journalistic principles. New York Times is a political party which represents the selfish interests of the foolish globalists.
People often assume the Yoruba are so successful as an ethnic nationality due to their thirst for education, and how it has penetrated down even amongst their remotest rural communities. But study them. Their culture of respect opens doors for them that even education cannot open. Diplomacy gives them supremacy.
And their culture is often mistaken for what it is not by others who do not understand them as a people. What some people ignorantly call cowardice, or sycophancy, is stooping to conquer. It is both a military and diplomatic strategy.
This is what Scripture meant in 2 Corinthians 10:4 “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty”. Wisdom, courtesy, diplomacy, and praise are all weapons. A weapon is anything you can use to achieve your strategic objective. It does not always have to be a physically offensive weapon.
But are the Yorubas even cowards, as some people accuse them to be? Well, let us let the facts speak for themselves.
In the history of Nigeria, only two men have returned to Nigeria to face almost certain death even when they had the option of a very comfortable political asylum abroad. Both of them are Yoruba. In 1985, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida toppled the Buhari regime while Major General Tunde Idiagbon (mixed Yoruba/Fulani) was at Mecca yet Idiagbon returned.
In 1995, Olusegun Obasanjo (pure Owu Yoruba) was accused of planning a coup by the blood thirsty tyrant, Abacha (if you do not like that truthful description of Abacha or if you believe that 'Abacha did not loot', you can go and join him where he is) while he was away in Copenaghen. He was informed by the then US Ambassador, Walter Carrington, that Abacha meant to arrest, try and execute him, and was offered political asylum in the United States.
He returned to face almost certain death.
What more example of bravery can there be than these two shining ones.
Furthermore, there is the apocryphal example of Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi who chose to die with the then Head of State, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, rather than abandon his guest, which he was at liberty to do.
In addition to the above, in my opinion, they are the least likely to maintain and retain their cultural values, when it clashes with other cultures.
I love how they retain their full culture when they travel abroad. It is a rarity amongst Africans. When you visit London, you may be confused if you think Yoruba is the only African language in existence.
A Yoruba man can enter a quiet bus and receive a phone call and speak in Yoruba, and won’t feel embarrassed. And I am not referring to a Johnny Just Come. I am referring to second generation Yorubas who were born and brought up in England,
I have been traveling the world from childhood, yet I have not encountered people doing that with much wider [/b]spoken African languages, such as Swahili and Hausa.
They may speak it privately in their homes abroad. but not publicly, and even if they do, it is not to the extent of the Yoruba.
It has gotten to the extent that the Metropolitan Police now recruit Yoruba speaking Constables, and Harrods now employ Yoruba speaking cashiers. Oh please do not just take my words at face value. Fact check me.
Go to Houston on a Sunday, you will see Yoruba people everywhere in their native wears, adire, plus abeti aja and eleti aja.
[b]Here in California, other Africans now draw crowd to their parties by saying ‘the Nigerians will be there.’
This will annoy other tribes, including mine, however, when foreigners talk about how cool Nigerians are, they are usually referring to Yorubas.
Take it or leave it, but the Yoruba are the most progressive Black people on the face of planet Earth.
They produced the first Black African Nobel laureate for an academic category (Wole Soyinka), and the first Black African military ruler to have voluntarily handed over to a civilian President (Olusegun Obasanjo), and the first Nigerian to win a Grammy Award (Sade Adu) as well as the first person born and bred in Africa to have won a Pulitzer Prize (Dele Olojede).
The reason why Yorubas are the biggest music stars of Nigerian origin is because they are unabashedly Yoruba. They do not try to sing or act like Westerners. They are very in-your-face with their Yoruba-ness. And when people like themselves to such a high degree, others tend to join them in liking them.
There are an estimated 15 Black billionaires on Planet Earth. Three of them are Yoruba. More than any ethnic nationality in Africa.
US President, Joe Biden, named a Yoruba man, Adewale Adeyemo, as deputy Treasury Secretary. This is the highest position to which a Black African has been appointed (not elected) in US history. Another Yoruba man, Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, became the first person on Earth to successfully perform a surgery by taking out an unborn fetus from its mother’s womb and putting it back after the surgery.
77% of all Black doctors in America, and a very large percentage of these are Yoruba.
I commend the Edekiri people (the real name of the Yoruba). You guys are oni te si iwaju.

Just based on the bolded, I state unequivocally Reno Omokri is a trained fool. The best human action for a fool is to remain silent. If you failed in so-called enlightened pedigree to get story of Lt. Col. Francis Adekunle Fajuyi correctly, it goes that all examples cited on this piece of crap are idiotic too.

Ipob may or may not be involved in this. But with the recent activities of Ipob like the inauguration of military governors on imaginary state, I am beginning to view them like psycho with delusion of grandeur. Nonetheless, their agitation is just, but their methods are unethical.
Now, to the issue of territory, my own state Delta state is not part of Biafra and neither part of Nigeria in case this amalgamation ends tomorrow.
We are independent state known as the Niger Delta Republic.... Shikena
Nigerians have silly thought process. You claimed to have Delta State which is neither Biafra nor Nigeria means there is nothing such as Delta State. One of the grass roots of Nigerian problem is lack of critical thinking across the board.
Any fool on earth who rained on the self-determination of others cannot have a moment of peace. Ukraine kicked against the self-determination of Donbas region (Donetsk and Luhansk). Ukraine declared war on the people and either killed or forced many of the ethnic nationalists in refugee in Russia. Now, it is the turn of foolish Ukrainians to be paid in the same coin as their supporters engaged in fake news and silly propaganda. US and so-called NATO countries were signatories to clause of Self-Determination under UN. Why did US and its allies suddenly go blind when their proxy state, in this case Ukraine, attacked Donetsk and Luhansk in the process of self-determination?
JEWELofHELL666: KYIV, Ukraine — The Israeli government rejected requests from Ukraine and Estonia in recent years to purchase and use Pegasus — the powerful spyware tool — to hack Russian mobile phone numbers, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
Israel feared that selling the cyberweapon to adversaries of Russia would damage Israel’s relationship with the Kremlin, they said.
Both Ukraine and Estonia had hoped to buy Pegasus to gain access to Russian phones, presumably as part of intelligence operations targeting their increasingly menacing neighbor in the years before Russia carried out its invasion of Ukraine.
But Israel’s Ministry of Defense refused to grant licenses to NSO Group, the company that makes Pegasus, to sell to Estonia and Ukraine if the goal of those nations was to use the weapon against Russia. The decisions came after years of Israel providing licenses to foreign governments that used the spyware as a tool of domestic repression.
Pegasus is a so-called zero-click hacking tool, meaning that it can stealthily and remotely extract everything from a target’s mobile phone, including photos, contacts, messages and video recordings, without the user having to click on a phishing link to give Pegasus remote access. It can also turn the mobile phone into a tracking and secret recording device, allowing the phone to spy on its owner.
In the case of Ukraine, the requests for Pegasus go back several years. Since the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, the country has increasingly seen itself as a direct target of Russian aggression and espionage. Ukrainian officials have sought Israeli defense equipment to counter the Russian threat, but Israel has imposed a near-total embargo on selling weapons, including Pegasus, to Ukraine.
In the Estonian case, negotiations to purchase Pegasus began in 2018, and Israel at first authorized Estonia to have the system, apparently unaware that Estonia planned to use the system to attack Russian phones. The Estonian government made a large down payment on the $30 million it had pledged for the system.
The following year, however, a senior Russian defense official contacted Israel security agencies to notify them that Russia had learned of Estonia’s plans to use Pegasus against Russia. After a fierce debate among Israeli officials, Israel’s Ministry of Defense blocked Estonia from using the spyware on any Russian mobile numbers worldwide.
Israel’s relationship with Russia has come under close scrutiny since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began several weeks ago, and Ukrainian officials have publicly called out Israel’s government for offering only limited support to Ukraine’s embattled government and bowing to Russian pressure.
During a virtual speech to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, on Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine criticized Israel for not providing his country with the Iron Dome antimissile system and other defensive weapons, and for not joining other Western nations in imposing strict economic sanctions on Russia.
Invoking the Holocaust, Mr. Zelensky said that Russia’s war was aimed at destroying the Ukrainian people just as the Nazis had wanted destruction for the Jewish people. Mr. Zelensky, who is Jewish, said “mediation can be between states, but not between good and evil.”
The New York Times reported last month that Israeli officials in August rejected a request by a Ukrainian delegation to purchase Pegasus, at a time when Russian troops were massing at the Ukrainian border. On Wednesday morning, The Washington Post and The Guardian, part of a consortium of news organizations called The Pegasus Project, reported that these discussions dated back to 2019, and first reported that Israel had blocked Estonia’s efforts to obtain Pegasus.
A senior Ukrainian official familiar with attempts to acquire the Pegasus system said that Ukrainian intelligence officials were disappointed when Israel declined to allow Ukraine to purchase the system, which could have proved critical for monitoring Russian military programs and assessing the country’s foreign policy goals.
The official said Ukraine’s view was that Israel, in making decisions about licensing Pegasus, gave more weight to a government’s relationship with the Kremlin than its human rights record.
Representatives of the Ukrainian embassy in Washington and the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to comment. In a statement, NSO said the company “can’t refer to alleged clients and won’t refer to hearsay and political innuendo.”
Both Ukraine and Estonia were once part of the Soviet Union, and since then have had to live in the long shadow of Russia’s military. Estonia is a member of NATO.
Russia plays a powerful role throughout the Middle East, particularly in Syria, and Israel is wary of crossing Moscow on critical security issues. In particular, Russia has generally allowed Israel to strike Iranian and Lebanese targets inside Syria — raids the Israeli military sees as essential to stemming the flow of arms that Iran sends to proxy forces stationed close to Israel’s northern border.
Israel’s government has long seen Pegasus as a critical tool for its foreign policy. A New York Times Magazine article this year revealed how, for more than a decade, Israel has made strategic decisions about which countries it allows to obtain licenses for Pegasus, and which countries to withhold them from.
Israel’s government has authorized Pegasus to be purchased by authoritarian governments, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, that have used the weapon to spy on dissidents, human rights activists and journalists in those countries. Democratically elected leaders in India, Hungary, Mexico, Panama and other countries also abused Pegasus to spy on their political opponents.
Israel has used the tool as a bargaining chip in diplomatic negotiations, most notably in the secret talks that led to the so-called Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and several of its historic Arab adversaries.
“Policy decisions regarding export controls, take into account security and strategic considerations, which include adherence to international arrangements,” the Israeli defense ministry said in a statement in response to questions from The Times. “As a matter of policy, the State of Israel approves the export of cyber products exclusively to governmental entities, for lawful use, and only for the purpose of preventing and investigating crime and counter terrorism, under end use/end user declarations provided by the acquiring government.”
Since NSO first sold Pegasus to the government of Mexico more than a decade ago, the spyware has been used by dozens of countries to track criminals, terrorists and drug traffickers. But the abuse of the tool has also been extensive, from Saudi Arabia’s use of Pegasus as part of a brutal crackdown on dissents inside the kingdom, to Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary authorizing his intelligence and law enforcement services to deploy the spyware against his political opponents.
Last November, the Biden administration put NSO and another Israeli cyberfirm on a “blacklist” of firms that are barred from doing business with American companies. The Commerce Department said the companies’ tools “have enabled foreign governments to conduct transnational repression, which is the practice of authoritarian governments targeting dissidents, journalists and activists outside of their sovereign borders to silence dissent.”
Most Nigerians allow their palpable idiocy to cloud their school of thought. How does corporation amount to fear? I guess when Russia looked the other way to allow Israel attack Iranian interests in Syria and Lebanon, it was also fear of Israel? Those who considered themselves powers on earth also know how to play the game of interest.
Jenniferchuma10: Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has appointed Anambra-born former mayor of London, Ernest Ezeajughi, as his chief of staff.
Soludo picks former London mayor as chief of staff Soludo has also appointed Ben Chiobi as his special adviser on security and Richard Madiebo as chairman, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service.
Ezeajughi was elected mayor of the London Borough of Brent on April 16, 2019. Before becoming a mayor, Mr Ezeajughi, a strong member of British Labour Party, was elected councillor in Britain in 2014.
The 62-year-old chief of staff was the chairman of the British chapter of Nigeria’s All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) between 2010 and 2012.
This has brought the total number of appointments in Soludo’s government to six. Those appointed earlier are Osita Chukwulobelu, a professor, as secretary to the state government, Chukwudi Okoli as the accountant general, and Chinedu Nwoye, appointed as the deputy chief of staff/state chief of protocol.
I am afraid this Charles Soludo of a guy could be a fanfare type of governor. How could he appoint anybody with links to British Labour Party? This is the party of Harold Wilson who made it clear to any goon who was deaf that Ndigbo and Biafra must be crushed in 1967.

They'll knock heads together at the meeting and end up still on opposing sides. Then they'll emerge with something completely off base and in contrast to the reason behind their tete a tete
It could take a clown to notice a clownish show. The act of uniform dressing is a mark of strategy. However, a stanza of strategy does not equate to success.
The Inspector-General of Police has commended police officers for rejecting N300,000 bribe and returning N600,000 paid into one of their accounts in error.
The police boss charged Senior Police Officers to always commend their personnel who have exemplarily excelled in their duties, which have in turn impacted positively on the goodwill and image of the Nigeria Police Force.
He said this in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Tuesday.
“The IGP made the charge while commending the exemplary performances of some officers and men across the State Commands, particularly Sergeant Sampson Ekikere, attached to 22 Police Mobile Force, Ikeja, Lagos, for his uncommon professionalism exhibited on Saturday, 19th March 2022, when he painstakingly recovered a wallet, belonging to one Mr. Lukman Abaja, and traced the owner to deliver the found item.
“He equally commended Sergeant Yahaya Ahmed attached to Higher Shari’ah Court, Tudun Wada Division, Gusau, Zamfara State, for rejecting the sum of N300, 000 bribe, offered to him by one Chukwuka Jude, who was arrested at the same court on 18th January, 2022 for the offence of false presentation and cheating by impersonation.
“Also commended was CSP Elemide Akinkunmi Bishop who was Head of Operations at the Police Radio. CSP Bishop was mistakenly credited with the sum of N600,000 into his Police Account. The officer withdrew the sum and remitted it back to the Nigeria Police Cooperative Society treasury, showing attributes of an honest and trustworthy police officer,” the statement added.
Baba, however, assured the entire Police workforce of sustainable efforts in improving their condition of service.
I applauded the mobile police sergeant and the CSP for their exemplarily behaviors. However, I am not even sure of the bribe. The story of a Muslim police officer attached to a Muslim Court who allegedly rejected a bribe offer by a supposedly Christian arrested in the premises of the so-called Higher Sharia Court for whatever reason has a character.
AsabaPropertyAg: The House of Representatives yesterday enjoined the authorities to grant automatic employment to first-class graduates of universities in the country.
Adopting a motion sponsored by Chinedu Martins during the plenary presided by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, the House enjoined the Federal Ministry of Education to liaise with relevant government agencies to achieve the goal.
The House mandated its committees on Tertiary Education and Services, and Labour, Employment and Productivity to ensure compliance.
Martins his motion was aimed at curtailing the trend where first-class graduates leave the country and become assets to other countries for gainful employment opportunities.
The lawmaker argued that automatic employment for first-class graduates will not only serve as a source of motivation for students to work harder but will also maximize their potential in preparation for different economic roles, future leadership positions and ultimately reduce unemployment while helping to achieve development targets.
The lawmaker said it calls for concern that ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government have yet to take a cue from some Universities that award their first-class graduates with automatic employment as lecturers or student lecturers in their specific courses.
He made reference to the University of Lagos which offered employment to no fewer than 100 graduates of the University who made First-Class in various fields of study in the University to buttress his assertions.
Ruing the situation, he said: “I concerned same job opportunities are not obtainable for first-class graduates in the ministries, departments and agencies, who are by virtue of their position as government agencies, saddled with the responsibilities of driving the country’s economic and Infrastructural development.
“Cognizant that Nigeria’s inability to leave the status of a developing nation may not be unconnected with the insensitivity and lack of political will of the ruling class and policymakers to introduce a reward system that ensures that the best brains automatically occupy important positions according to their area of competence.
“Also concerned that according to research, Nigeria has continued to unwittingly give away her best brains and intellectuals to other countries who by virtue of their robust policies on a value system, reward diligence and excellence as can be seen in the exodus of medical professionals from Nigeria to other countries.
“Also notes that reports have shown in seeking admissions to Universities, students consider in countries such as the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, France, Australia, China, Canada as it increases their chances of being employed upon graduation.”
One of the idiotic streams of thoughts only Nigerians can produce. The workforce which drives countries such as US is not made of first class and there is not sense of preferential allocation for such goofy shenanigan.
God1000: Israel should be extremely careful with Iran this time because US under Joe biden is trying to revive Iran nuclear power deal Donald trump extirpated.
Iran has conventional military capability to attack Israel, Israel will never make an attempt to enter Iranian airspace, that's why they always choose soft targets in Syria
Iran has a powerful air force, ballistic missiles and drones
Another typical Nigerian with useless postulation.
God1000: TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s foreign ministry strongly condemned on Wednesday the killing of two Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers in an Israeli missile attack on the Syrian capital.
The foreign ministry’s website quoted ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh as saying revenge for the Monday strike will definitely be taken.
The Guard in a statement late Tuesday identified the two dead men as colonels Ehsan Karbalaipour and Morteza Saeednejad. It said in the same statement that Israel would “pay for this crime.”
Hundreds of Iranian forces have died in combat against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. Iran says its forces there are only advisors in Syria at the request of Syrian government
joyandfaith: That is reason for unnecessary wars in many places. A might nation can decide to annex land that belongs to a weaker nation.
Stop listening to the silly propaganda spewed by the disgraced western media. Ukraine thought it was mighty and can annex the land which belonged to ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk Republics in 2014. Today, it is the turn of Ukraine to loose its territory.
joyandfaith: Donbas, crimea and Luhansk belong to Ukraine by international laws and agreements.Because Russia speakers are residents do not mean regions belong to Russia or separatists. Russia organized referendum in a sovereign country for separatists and recognized those regions as independent states. That was wtong. Russia annexed crimea which belongs to ukraine. That was not right. In modern world, that is not how to grab land from another country. What
The bolded is the idiotic stream of thought which belongs to moronic globalists. No land exclusively belongs to any state which there are people who can claim territorial ownership with respect to self-determination which supported by yet another international law. Laws are meant to be inclusive not exclusive. Now, where is the international law and sheriffs to enforce it? The residents of the Donetsk and Luhansk are not immigrants from Russia as you would want us to believe. They are ethnic Russians and owners of the land. Let me remind you that Ukraine was/is Russia. There is nothing you or anybody could do since mother Russia has decided to reclaim its territory.
Shiver99: 1) Firstly, the Europeans had the resources and time to evolve a more morally sound and humane society. Secondly, they still view the people that they are invading as brothers and have a common pan-European identity.
2) On the other hand, Africans have been kept in a state of moral and societal decay by various powers. Because of this, things such as basic human empathy and critical thinking are often devoid from the mind of your average Nigerian citizen. That's why they would cheer a soldier on for stripping and flogging a citizen for indecent dressing instead of going to fight for his country like his mates.
Secondly, Africans have not yet evolved a pan-African identity nor feel any kinship to the other ethnicities that make up their artificial nations. Just look at Nigerian soldiers, who are mainly sourced from particular parts of the country, and how they are known for burning properties and massacring civilians of their country for revenge.
I totally disagree with the bolded. Nobody kept Africans in state of moral decadence except the Africans. Must Nigerians fight each other to achieve mutual disintegration like USSR?
bigpriik: In this war Who else noticed that Whenever Russian army captures a territory,they respect the civilians still living there, Russian tanks were actually stopping for ukrainian vehicles to pass,After a bloody battle in Kiev as Ukrainians soldiers retreat , Russian soldiers were actually going round looking for injured ukrainian civilians to help and treat with their available healthcare provisions . My brother oya bring it to Africa,let's say Nigeria invaded Benin and capture coutonou,our soldiers will loot, rape,commit genocide on innocent civilians living there ,no wonder God keep blessing the whites.
Africans are not regarded positively in all aspect of mankind.
