I am not going to rain on you bloated ego of nothingness. However, it is safe to say your dumbass Nigeria SW is a park of cards. There is a good reason Nigeria SW will even go to war to keep Nigeria in its delipidated form.

Why are these idiotic governors in Nigeria indulge in this form of infantile bribery? How does giving private cars to medical directors improve healthcare package in Lagos State? I had looked forward to seeing well-equipped ambulances and hospitals in the state.
Thoh: you can't go to Yoruba port because you don't share border with Yoruba. You have to passed Ijaw territory before you get to lagos..
You
In this discuss, Ijaw have no territory. Which territory in Igweocha, Igwenga and Ubani belongs to Ijaw? When reality hits the ground one of these days, people in your class will definitely faint.
OfficialAPCNig: I am Igbo and stay in Lagos and I can tell you conclusively that Yoruba Nation will not struggle.
Igbos will be competing from a disadvantaged position, but we will level up before 30 years.
Yorubas have everything dey need to succeed on a fly. Our biggest advantage is our ethnic solidarity which I think is far more sophisticated than Yorubas.
If this country divides, there will be in-fighting within Yoruba political class, but if they manage it well, it'll take us at least 10 years to level up.
When we do, I don't see any African country coming close.
It is unfortunate you think uncontrolled crowd in Lagos is part of advancement. It is safe to say you lacked the strategical acumen to indulge in this form of debate. The only things that keep Lagos relevant are the busy seaport in Apapa and international airport in Ikeja. Bear in mind that these structures are kept alive on the detriment of other potential locations in the country. Have you inquired why the Yoruba peeps are vocal in opposition to the disintegration of Nigeria? Once Nigeria is disintegrated, both Ikeja airport and Apapa seaport will end as the commonest contact points with outside world in Nigeria. Human resources and natural resources shall be reshaped and managed. There could be wars or boundary skirmishes which could keep certain people engaged in a struggle for survival.
brodalikeme: Everybody is now a wailer! No more pretense, it’s now biting everyone of us.
The truth is being unmasked before our very eyes.
How we react is what I’m waiting to see.
We must react toward disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria to allow each nation state to handle its affair according to dictate of culture and tradition.
It is silly to claim originality on borrowed name. Even the word Ijaw has numerous progenitors. The delusional Alagoa attributed one of the sources of Ijaw to Portuguese who called the people residing along the rivers in Niger Delta as "Jos". Ijaw is purely "boat people" from Akwapim-Togo region.
thebosstrevor1: Lmao but madam kemi, we are not in the US
Which one is plead the 5th in the Nigerian constitution
Therefore, you have to act so stupidly. Nigerians and Africans tend to attach sentiments on every human endeavor. I am not a fan of Kemi but she seems to be correct on this issue.
Sonyboom765: National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured his teeming supporters and other Nigerians across the country that he will not turn down their clamour for him to be the next President of the country.
Tinubu made the declaration on Tuesday in Abuja after a closed-door meeting with members of the Northern Alliance Committee. He was quick to however add that consultations with political stakeholders were still ongoing.
Asked if he will not heed the clamour of Nigerians to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, Asiwaju said; “I am not going to turn them (Nigerians) down, but I will still effective and widely consult, particularly brainstorm with my friends and find a date to come out openly and tell Nigerians.”
The former Lagos State governor however urged continued support for President Buhari by ensuring that he is not distracted from attending to all the current challenges facing the country now.
“The president is still in office. I don’t want to distract him from all the challenges that he might face today. So, we will consult and make our programmes known to the people later and the intention is clear. So, you keep guessing.”

Endorsing Tinubu for the 2023 presidential election, leader of the Northern Alliance Committee, Ambassador Lawal Ahmed Munir said the meeting resolved to work for the actualization of the ambition the APC National Leader.
Munir who said his alliance had fruitful discussions with Tinubu disclosed that the committee resolved to support him come 2023 due to his sterling political qualities.
According to Munir, “The meeting ended very well. We are working for him because we know he will win the election when the time comes.”
Thoh: We don't need prophet Isaiah or Ezekiel to tell us this again, As we all seen today Nigeria will no longer last 4 years. Nigeria will divide into more than 15 parts. Among these 15 countries, which one will take over the title giant of africa? well, Yoruba republic and Ijaw Republic will battle for such spot.
4 reasons Ijaw nation will edged out Yoruba nation to claimed that title....
1..crude oil. This is no doubt will gear Ijaw nation to be the wealthiest black nation...
2..self-made.. Ijaws are good at producing things like boat, flying boat, etc, and self-made weapons like gun-boat, bomb, gun, spear.. this will boost Ijaw economy...
3...sea access... This tripled Ijaw economy success..
4..Biafra landlocked.. the division of nigeria will no doubt make Igbos landlocked. Biafra landlocked will gives Ijaw nation advantage.. Igbos will need sea access more than any other persons.. They need sea to either laid their crude oil pipes to preferable nation for sell or sea to load their crude oil with vessels to another country, this will make biafra government to strike deal with the Ijaw government for either periodic payment or annual payment for the usage of her Sea spaces...... This will indeed generate lots of incomes for the Ijaw nation...
God really loved the Ijaw people. He blessed them with everything.
People are having troubles with Ijaws from left to right because of the gifts God blessed them with..
You are heavily indebted to delusion. If your infantile postulation of 15 counties out of the shithole called Nigeria shall come true, Ijaw and Yoruba will struggle mightily to stay afloat.
Nemere2020: Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Police have dispersed protesters who trooped to the streets of Katsina to register their grievances over the spate of killings in the state and other parts country.
The protesters, who wielded placards, had converged on Kofar Soro roundabout, emir’s palace.
Before the arrival of the security operatives, Comrade Bishir Dauda Sabuwar Unguwa, the National Secretary of Muryar Talaka (Voice of the masses), one of the conveners of the protest, told journalists that the protest was planned to draw the attention of the government “to take the right steps towards addressing the degenerating and debilitating challenge of insecurity in the north and the country as a whole”.
“Today nobody is safe, even those living in the cities. We are all aware of the gruesome murder of the Katsina state Commissioner of Science and Technology, Dr Rabe Nasir, which shows that even those living in the cities are not safe.”
“Many are still held in captivity, in kidnappers’ dens, many are killed. You cannot even travel from Katsina to Sokoto through Jibia road due to activities of Kidnappers.
“Today, we even have parallel government run by bandits’ warlords in some parts of the country. So we want to draw the attention of the governments to do the needful as we join our brothers and sisters protesting all over the country,” he said.
He added that the strategy used by the security agents had failed as they always wait for the attack only to be on the defensive side, saying here was the need to take the war to the enemies’ doorsteps having known where they are.
Another protester, Jamila Abbas, said as a mother and wife, women are at the receiving end of the consequences of insecurity.
“The killings in the north are on the increase and it affects even the security agents themselves. Therefore there is the need on the part of the government to be more proactive in tackling the menace,” she said.
But the police and DSS operatives eventually disperse the protesters.
The public relations officer of the Police, SP Gambo Isah, could not be reached to comment on why security operatives stop the peaceful protest.
Last week, one of the conveners of a similar protest in Kano, backed down after an invitation from the DSS.
If no protester is killed in Katsina State as a result of this protest, it is safe to reiterate Nigeria is overripen for disintegration. If this protest had happened in one of the states in southern region of Nigeria, the news would have read that protester, bystander or hawker had have been shot to death by security agents.
He called your hero a coward on live television to British press, they agreed. All the tough talking he was doing, only to run like a scared little chihuahua
I guess you do not have the intellectual pedigree to strike a difference between war and mutiny. Gowon ran from soldier's mutiny while Ojukwu tactically retreated from the war front.
kingawothefirst: Ojukwu the biggest coward of the most cowardice region known as the southeast ran dressed like a woman when he saw Obasanjo’s coming to whoop his ass lol
Was he not the same fool who ran to London, UK from Kampala, Uganda after being overthrown? Ordinary mutiny cannot be discussed in the vicinity of war.
This is a construct of delusional fool. The moment Awolowo showed up in the video, I realized it was a handiwork of deceitful pigs from western Nigeria publication houses.
Loveurneighbour: You have a very long way to go. Go and visit history; The Nigerian Civil War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970; also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War or the Biafran War)
Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, captured coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. A blockade was imposed as a deliberate policy during the ensuing stalemate which led to mass starvation.[44] During the two and half years of the war, there were about 100,000 overall military casualties, while between 500,000 and 2 million Biafran civilians died of starvation.[45]
In mid-1968, images of malnourished and starving Biafran children saturated the mass media of Western countries. The plight of the starving Biafrans became a cause célèbre in foreign countries, enabling a significant rise in the funding and prominence of international non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The United Kingdom and the Soviet Union were the main supporters of the Nigerian government, while France, Israel and some other countries supported Biafra .
The bolded is complete nonsense and very typical of Nigerian.
udele1: But you people open thread on Nairaland for wishful thinking. Wishing he will be set free.
You come to Niaraland to complain he has not eaten for 3 days and changed clothes.
Is the queen of England on Nairaland?
You avoid the questions because you know he is guilty, so continue wishing he is not.
The sooner you prepare fulani attire for his initiation, the better for u.
I guess people in your class, low life, cannot understand that justice delayed is justice denied. You and foolish government of Nigeria seemed to have the incriminating evidence yet no trial.
Swipa: As many as 1 million doses of AstraZeneca’s covid-19 vaccine reportedly expired before they could be used in Nigeria, a country of more than 200 million where less than 2% of the population is fully vaccinated.
According to Reuters, the doses were sent from Europe through Covax, a program to distribute covid-19 vaccines donated by rich countries to poor ones. But Nigeria didn’t have enough time to distribute the supply before much of it expired—in some cases, within four to six weeks, versus the AstraZeneca vaccine’s typical shelf life of six months—and much of the donation went to waste.
davillian: The Igbos would gladly vote a Yoruba man than a Hausa man
The bolded is absolutely nonsensical. Ndigbo do not vote a man, but political party based on ideology. Ndigbo will shun Igbo man in what they termed as wrong party period.
Southwestern Nigeria has not and will never vote any presidential ticket with Igbo person on it. Yoruba are the greatest enemy to Igbo person in Nigeria. I have never for one day thought of any form of corporation with Yoruba person. Maybe, my state of mind will change in future.
SlyDev: Everyday okoro will wake up and wish to be Yoruba. They poke nose into internal affairs of Yoruba while their house is burning in their village
oilyngbati: Can you see that you Ipob bingos are the most dishonest demons on the planet. So you claim the “defunct eastern region” which should include Akwa Ibom, cross rivers, Bayelsa, and Rivers states. So why is your moronic sit-at-home not enforced in those states or are they not part of your biaflaud? I only blame the Igbo in SE that allowed Ipob terrorists to disturb their peace, if not they should be barbecuing you bingos by now.
It appears you are delusional. What enforcement are you fooling around? Nobody gets out in Biafran land to enforce "sit-at-home". In Akwa Ibom, cross rivers, Bayelsa, and Rivers states streets are cleared of normal activities during "sit-at-home" as in the case of states in southeast geo-political zone. You are a typical Nigerian with emptiness as a brain.
sonofElElyon: She said she lost her only child and therefore knows how Sylvester's parents are feeling right now which is being made worse by kemi olunloyo.. you should understand that she spoke from empathy and as one who has suffered same type of bereavement.
Ameh like a typical dunce Nigerian is riding on loads of sentiments. Has anybody proved Kemi wrong?
EraseTheDot: Stop lying to yourself. No ibo man was trained as a fighter pilot before the war. None. Biafra fighter planes called Biafra babes were manned by european pilots. Some were mercenaries from France and Sweden. it was only willy Murray Bruce, a SS, that was a member of the crew. Ibo played waka pass role during the war.
Thoh: Ijaws are in akwa Ibom... Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into more than 6 states and no Ijaw in those states denied their Ijaw root.... Even the Egbema Ijaws of imo state never denied their Ijaw root..
Nobody balkanized so-called Ijaw. What became Ijaw were British porters mainly from Akwapim-Togo region. From Ghana to Nigeria, British did not have another territory in-between. What you have misrepresented as balkanization was actually another British tricks of leaving their porters as beacons along the route.
