While praising Tinubu for any little thing some shallow brain will start mocking Igbos. Most of these policies have been advocated by Igbos long ago. It's the North that has been resisting these things. Tinubu scammed the North with religion, after claiming to continue from where Buhari stopped he has reversed everything. We Igbos are enjoying these policies but that will not stop Tinubu from being kicked out by the courts

Oni yeye. U don't have option

Amunethseranu:
Tinubu is tinubu,Yoruba is Yoruba ! Tinubu made yorubas believe he hated igbos and yorubas love him so much. Our problem now isn't tinubu but Yoruba people hating and envying igbos.

I can bet u yorubas will abandon him to follow north of they found out igbos are gaining from him.
Tinubu I know had igbos at high esteem but he has to play eweduly to gain his people's trust.

No harm from north shall befallen him ,since the system is corrupt let's bend our brains to do the right thing .

u dey talk as if u are under 20. I am from NC. I was not a fan of tinubu but d ibos attitude during elections makes me like Tinubu. This same thing happened to many people following tinubu till now. They started loving tinubu when they realized Obidient nah ibo agenda. But I bet u,tinubu will appoint credible northern man or ibo man to dat position

Hatrick01:
oga speak 4 urself.
Which kind we?

u no get option. Your head go correct very soon

Ogene001:
Are you sure? Tinubu was the one ass liking the North for votes. I like how he seems to give them middle finger now but Obi would have done likewise and even more

were u not licking d northern ass b4 Obi left pdp. Atiku was your lord when Obi was following him around. Now that long truck have passed between atiku and Obi u want to dey open your mouth like monkey. Tinubu win still dey pain u sha

001Lagos:
The people that you crawl back on your kneels begging for votes and support since the south south and south east have since disassociated themselves from you people .

Don't worry, you will come begging again

is it because u beg and they no answer u people

OfoIgbo:
It seems as though Tinubu has abandoned his Agbado proposals, and decided to settle for proposals marshaled out by Peter Obi during the campaign season.

That is good news.

I do hope they totally destroy those initial proposals by Tinubu to recruit 50 millions youths into the army and feed them agbado.

Obidients have changed their narrations again. So to u now, it is Obi ruling now

Tntsi:
Dont be deceived by all these long grammar and paid media promotion gigs all to promote tinubu.
All these have no effect common man on the street.

All these noise being made are paid media promotions to deceive those that will be deceived

There is a moral burden on tinubu. He did not win the people. He does not have the people's mandate.

Nobody who steals political power uses it for the good of the people.

I am not say this policy will favor a common man or not but as I see u people attitudes, it shows you are even pray he should not succeed with his govt. I pray whatever what u have against this govt will befall u people. Even if his policies favor us, u still will not be happy about it. You are all doing yourself with this evil minded of yours. Everyone have move on even most Obidients. Most of u people have stop posting drug allegations against tinubu an Facebook and Twitter because of d fear of DSS. U are now on nairaland talking rubbish.

Next time note, python are venomous unlike anaconda which is mammal

python no get venom oga. Nah constrictor species

SpecialAdviser:
APC should be ashamed of itself. They are still riding on the ignorance and myopic mindset of Nigerians to fool people around. Honestly when I see what is happening, I come to the conclusion that we have a long way to go in this country. Our trash reasoning is why everything is thrown at us.

A CBN governor colluded with the ex president to redesign naira for no reason. Spent billions to waste money. A new president emerges from the same party and started stupid show to foo.l his supporters by arresting the CBN governor that took order from the president. Wouldn't he have constituted panel of enquiry to publish the whole nasty deals to give us details of what transpired. How much was spent, how much looted and so on and so forth. He wouldn't because the enquiry will come out indicting Buhari himself.

His actions reminds me of early days of Buhari presidency of arresting Olisa Metu, Gausau and all that. Those days of vindictive arrests and prosecution that lead to no where. He is repeating the same nonesetical footsteps of Buhari and his sea of mo.ronic supporters are hailing his stupid behavior.

Tinubu when will you arrest Hadirika abi what is the name of the criminal Nigeria Airways scammer? When will you arrest the NPC census scammer that spent billions without counting any sht? Everyone cannot be fuuls at the same time. That one no be crime abi? Na only Emefiele dey worry you? People hailing all these nonesense are the biggest Shame of the century. Emefiele will go to court. May be incarcerated for a while but will come out smiling. That is always the trend. By that time we have wasted time discussing Emefiele.

Nigerians who do una?

Oga forget this apc ideology in your mindset. This govt is not about apc. It about Tinubu. Apc rascality has gone with Buhari and his cabals. Seeing apc in present govt will not let u think straight

*AN OPEN LETTER TO MY BRETHREN IN THE "SOUTH-SOUTH"*

By Donald Ekpo, Akwa Ibom State

"For as long as the Old Eastern region remain in disarray and not united, self-determination of the region will remain impossible." ~ An anonymous retired Nigerian Army Chief
The word “South-South,” even though it may sound absurd, is a name we have come to accept as a people. We can’t say exactly how we came about to be identified with the name neither can we say exactly when we were given the name, but we just know it is our name. While growing up back in the days, geography taught us about “the North,” “the South,” “The East” and “The West.” For proper definition of locations, we were also told about “The Northwest, NorthEast, Southwest and SouthEast” I can’t remember anything like the “NorthNorth”, “SouthSouth”, “EastEast” or Westwest , but here I am today, writing a letter to my South-South brethren. That is what happens to a people that are not in control of their Cultural Development or the Political and Economic Future.
That is what happens to a people that are just there for their numbers, that is what happens to people that are just kept for their services, that is what happens to people that are just custodians of wealth for a supposedly superior people, and finally, that is what happens to peoples that are slaves. Any name is suitable for them, they can only get whatever is given to them even if it is originally theirs. If in doubt, please remind me of the meaning of KUNTA KINTE.
I write this letter not because it is frustrating to see how we allowed a defrauded propaganda to position our people as the pawns in the Political Chess called Nigeria, but rather, I write this letter in an effort to request that we free ourselves from these propaganda that has lingered for too long. If our grandfathers and fathers did not ask questions, is there any divine law that says we cannot ask? *We know we all belonged to the old Eastern Region of Nigeria* before the Northern Protectorate took back their power after the gruesome murder of General Aguiyi Ironsi.
Just for the records, let me do us a bit of history here; Major General Ironsi as Head of State was cornered and arrested somewhere in western Nigeria on July 29th of 1966, his hands and feet were tied together, then tied to a Land Rover with a little space in between, and driven on a tarred road, face down for several kilometers. The then highest ranking Northern officer, an acting (Unconfirmed) Lieutenant Colonel was chosen to be the next Head of State ahead of serving Brigadiers, Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels of the Southern Nigeria, followed by the dreadful killings of officers and soldiers of Eastern Nigeria including our so called South South soldiers and officers.
The genocide that followed is what is recorded as the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 – 1970. As if that was not enough, the Eastern region was broken apart with the sudden creation of the then South Eastern State (today’s Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom), Rivers State (Today’s Rivers State and Bayelsa). It was during that war that propagandas were designed, created and generated to separate us from the old Eastern Region and make the average Igbo man our potential enemy in an effort to reduce their own presumed enemies. In as much as it is a bitter history, but I find it necessary to do you this preamble.
I write this letter to remind us that our region, known as the South-South today was a creation of the North for the sake of creating the disunity we face today. And moreso, it was not just for the disunity for them to win the war, but to also take away our resources, our manpower and our economic future. In 2014 when President Jonathan, a son of the so called South-South decided to re-contest the 2015 elections, Sheik Junaid Mohammed in an engagement on behalf the Northern Protectorate, reminded us that the so called South-South was a creation of the North for effective management of the Northern interest in Eastern Nigeria. How bad could this be? Can we imagine that? *So while we are busy reminding ourselves that we are a different people or that the Igbos are wicked and are trying to kill us, the North is joyously taking over and owning 85% of our oil wells* while the West takes over the left overs.
And what do we get? Noise! Even the supposedly football legend, Sunday *Okechukwu Oliseh is busy telling us he is not Igbo* as if it is a curse to be Igbo. One wonders if the name *Okechukwu* is of Hausa or Yoruba origin. When you speak Igbo as a language and yet claim you are not Igbo, is that not the saddest thing that can happen to any people of identical culture? Even Major Kaduna Nzeogwu that led the first coup that was said to be an Igbo coup is from Okpanam village in today’s Delta State. Could he have come out to say today like Sunday Oliseh said that he was not Igbo? If the Abakaliki or Nsukka indigene that has a more distant dialect of Igbo is Igbo, *how come the Anioma or Okrika indigene that is easily understood is not Igbo?* How did a people of the same culture get so separated these far?
I write these letter to speak to those of us regarded as "minority tribes." How can we be minority when in essences we are known to be about 35 million of the said 180 million of the said Nigerian population? How can we be a minority in our own lands if we were not treated as such, or if we did not accept to be such? If those from the alliance that separated us from the West are said to be about 50 million in population, and our brethren in the East are said to be about 40 million, how can we accept we are a minority? Our compatriots from the alleged minorities of the North are said to be another 30 million, who then is the minority? Having run through these figures, we know who the real minorities are.
Be it as it appears, the truth is that our region was broken into two so as to weaken our original strength given that at a combined population strength of 35 million and 40 million people, our economic and entrepreneurial strength put together would be something the alliance will be worried about. So why should we ever think that it is logical to claim we are two different people when in essence, we have always been one and the same people for over 400 years before the arrival of the white man. If what the white man did to us was not bad enough, is it not ridiculous that we allowed a certain minority immigrants to assume control of our economic and political future?
I write these letter to ask my brethren in the South-South these pertinent question; Let us assume the very worst situation in this fracas between us and our Igbo brothers, *why are we worried about the Igbos taking over our “natural resources”* (assuming they don’t have theirs), ARE WE PRESENTLY IN CONTROL OF OUR “NATURAL RESOURCES”? *Does it make more sense that our natural resources are being controlled by some strange people from over 700 miles away?* People that kill us at will at a single provocation of their religion? People that even kill us in our land? People that challenge us to the ownership of these our resources? People that show absolute disregard of who we are? People that think it is a privilege for us to be in any position of authority? And finally, people that do not in any way have the kind of entrepreneurial skills that we have?
Why would we allow our imaginary quarrel or fights with our brothers translate to the decision of one of the women in King Solomon’s Judgment that insisted that since she couldn’t have the child, the other woman should not. So are we in essence saying it is better for none of us brethren to own our resources simply because we don’t trust our brothers, yet we do nothing about the stranger that has ripped us apart? Are we logically correct in these senseless quarrel?
Even while we are senselessly worried about how the Igbos will colonize our people because that is what we were told, and that is what some of these alliance are still trying to tell us; can we sincerely tell ourselves that the Igbos are that evil? Evil enough to leave their Natural resources in Abia, Imo, Anambra and Enugu states to come and take ownership of our resources? How will they do that? How possible will it be for a people that barely kill by the sword compared to our present oppressors? Do we honestly see that as a possibility? How and why did we allow these propaganda to go these far? Is these not what the alliance has used to rule us through the divide and rule scheme? Sheik Jumiad Mohammed said it clearly that our separation was a creation of the North for the effective management of our resources while we keep fighting an imaginary enemy.
I write this letter to remind us that we and our Igbo brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers have cultural identities, we uphold the sanctity of life, we do not kill a man like a chicken, we worship the same God, and we have identical looks and reasoning capabilities. Education is a respected virtue to both of us, entrepreneurism is a common love between us. We both respect constituted authorities. Even-though we both have the cultural odds that cannot, and should not be used to castigate an entire people. So how come the Igbo man suddenly became evil shortly before the war if the castigation was not a propaganda tool of the war?
How did we accept that our Igbo brothers were evil while we were saints? How are we saints? *Is there any evil that is the monopoly of the Igbos that we are totally clean of?* That we don’t have a single man/woman that does same if positioned in the same situation? How did we allow a distant people determine how we leave our lives? If we think we are different and as such we are treated better than the Igbos; have we noticed that *the fate of the Onitsha Port is the same fate that befell the Ports in Calabar and Port Harcourt?* We from the East are all forced to go to Lagos to pay taxes to those ports. How have we been treated differently by these alliances if we were different from the Igbos? Are we not facing the same fate as our Eastern brethren? How do you think we will fare if we were the only ones to receive these treatment given a circumstance where the Igbos are no more in this contraption called Nigeria?
I write this letter to our brethren to remind us that without a unified stand of the entire region, the self-determination process will be a farce. We need each other in all difficulties. *We are the Eastern Region; we are the region of the Lower Niger; we are a common people; we are not different from each other.* Starting from the Hills of Ogoja to the rocky soils of Ebonyi, down to the temperate region of Anambra down to the enclaves of Ishekiri and Isoko, we all look alike.
The Akwa Ibom man and the Abia State man are the same people simply divided by boundaries. *The Calabar man and the Arochukwu man have identical ancestral masquerades. The Ikwerre man is just an Igbo man that was separated by the North to act as a different people.* A British woman, camped somewhere in Kaduna decided to add the “R” consonant to the “U” vowel to totally break the identities of the Igbos in today’s Rivers State. *The Ijaws, Kalabaris, Oron, Efik are practically the same people positioned in different locations* possibly during the settlement centuries ago. We are all interrelated in the region and as such must not be divided.
We have been used for decades, disregarded at every opportunity, our rights are perceived as privileges if not favors. We do not have control over our future as instructed by the late Ahmadu Bello when he instructed his people not to allow us have control of our future, and should be seen as a conquered territory. Are we a conquered people by some strange people that believe they are born to rule, conquer and kill? These are a people who do not hold as sacrosanct what we revere as one. How can we continue in this Union that was designed to enslave us? How can we allow the lies told by these strangers to pitch us against ourselves?
AN ADDENDUM TO MY IGBO BROTHERS
I write to you to remind you that you can only fight a lie that was imbedded into the hearts of my brethren by putting yourself in his shoes to know how best to respond. We cannot fight evil with evil. Like we know, they say two wrongs don’t make a right. It is your responsibility to subtly ask those accusing you some logical questions that may prick their hearts to realities. We are all in this mess called Nigeria together.
Our Son, Goodluck Jonathan, was treated the same way General Ironsi was treated, they were both rejected. They were both despised. Both of them wanted a united Nigeria that existed beyond tribes and religion, but what did we see? President Goodluck Jonathan was lucky to escape with his life, but the General was not that lucky; He was tied to a Land Rover and driven on the rocky tarred roads between Abeokuta and Ibadan till he died and was shredded to pieces. Based on the Alhaji and Kunle’s phone conversation I believe we all listened to, we know that it could as well have happened to President Jonathan if he was not wise enough to let go of their birthright. But can we continue like this?
Look at what they are doing to Nnamdi Kanu? These are the same people that organized 70 lawyers to represent the Boko Haram suspects that have raped, maimed and Killed Nigerians, yet the one they choose to lead us says Nnamdi is too dangerous to be released because he has dual citizenship. Is these the kind of place we will continue to belong to when we are likely going to be having malicious morons of this magnitude leading us?
I write to you my brothers to remind you that the Gambaris know for certainty that having broken a greater part of you into other states in the "South-South," it may be difficult to successfully secede knowing what we know today. So it is inappropriate for you to remind my own brothers that with or without us, that you will succeed.
We cannot allow the propaganda of these gambaris to keep us apart. We must reject it by all means and efforts. We stand a greater chance to succeed as one region. As the older one of the two broken parts of our region, it is your responsibility to expose the deception that was used to mislead my people. It is you that will tell my people you do not have any intentions to colonize them. We have to collectively put these alliance to shame by consciously keeping our relationship cordial in the region. My dear brethren, I write to request that you take it as a duty to remind us that we are all one people because in truth, WE ARE ONE!
THE LOWER NIGER CONGRESS will not succeed if we do not position ourselves for success. We cannot go to a referendum with a divided house. We have to all agreed that we cannot continue in this contraption called a United Nigeria that was not just built on lies and propaganda, but was designed to fail while it enslaves our people. We have been battered, raped, disregarded, maimed and killed at will for the past 50 years. I am talking about the entire Eastern region. While we are being raped and killed, we are busy seeing each other as our enemy, while the real enemies smiles at our folly. We cannot continue like this. We should all take the opportunity presented to us by the UNITED NATION CHARTER ARTICLES ON SELF-DETERMINATION FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.
The Lower Niger Congress, has so far made presentations to the US Congress on the plight of our people, made a presentation to the United Nations, and have been able to secure a period by which the referendum will take place here in our region. But will we succeed during the electoral process if we are not united? Is it not time we put our swords into plowshare and see how we can take control of our political, economic future and Cultural development?
The Lower Niger Congress having met with traditional and titled leaders in all the corners of the Lower Niger Region believes the project will not be a success *if we do not see ourselves as a united body. We cannot afford to go into a referendum that may be sabotaged by the propagandas of the alliance of the North*. It is our duty to educate ourselves, educate our relatives, and educate our brethren. It is the best duty we can do for the generations unborn of our region.
This contraption called Nigeria was never designed to succeed, not with the present fraud of Constitution, not with the present mentality that only a section of the country were meant to rule, and finally, not with the present odds that accompany those that make it to the leadership position.
Finally, brethren, I appeal to you all to join hands in actualizing our dream to build a new nation based on principles, agreed morals, agreed terms and absolute regional autonomy to provoke developmental competition. This is what the *LOWER NIGER CONGRESS IS WILLING TO OFFER.*

By Donald Ekpo, Akwa Ibom State.

So your for fathers refused to tell u that ibo soldiers planned coup and killed d northern and western political leaders. Why did u avoid telling us here how d killing started. You people like hiding d truth and this is what is affecting your region till date.

CondenseMilk:
Do you know how many Tinubu have in UK?

mumu thinking Obidient reasoning. If u have evidence against tinubu expose him nah

Mrfixiit:
Good to hear no life was lost. Meanwhile Tinubu is only trying to position his men for monumental and easy looting by sacking Emefiele and Kyari. Don't be deceived that he's fighting corruption. A thief will hardly probe other thieves. Let him probe Buhari govt completely and we will take him serious. Time will tell

This is why ibo will never rule Nigeria. Because only God knows what this tribe will turn this country into. Remember ibo men were d top in d military then and they still plan d first coup. We don't know what u people want again.

Armaggedon:
I thought Tinubu was a little smart but his head is empty. Even the most foolish villain wouldn't start fight so early.

Why ibos just dey mess up every where. Just imagine what is coming out from your mouth

KwuoteYourFada:
aptly said.


I pity this generation of Yorubas I swear they're missing it completely.


Emifiele is no saint but he's not the boss of himself everything he did were from Buhari orders.


Make Una dey hail rubbis you people did worse during Buhari early days all na lamba Las Las



All this one he's doing is just initial gragra show of of force by next year we go know how everything
go be


My own is if someone is treated bad na you hail the oppressor today tomorrow it will go round

Why u no get sense be say if u know your boss fit implicate you. Why u no resign. Did anyone hold his hands from resigning. A thief like him will not resign. Just see how u are reasoning. U like supporting criminals especially if d criminal is ibo.

WhisperedNoise:
Chief,
I'm sorry to say o, but you are a wicked and dark fellow. Actually, I'm not sorry. It's just the truth. Anybody who reads your constant attack against the easterners will agree.

Your constant tribalism and bigotry on this forum is disgusting. We all saw it during the elections, we are seeing it now. People like you won't hesitate to kill an igbo person if war breaks out.

Before you reply with nonsense, I am a bona-fide yoruba man. So don't even try to spin this off and spark a tribal debate.

Do you look in the mirror and feel pity for yourself? You should. You make it seem like igbos are the only problem of Nigeria. Newsflash - we ALL have a part to play.

See, I've been labeled "omo ale" by many Yorubas because I refuse to be tribalistic. If we are being honest, yorubas aren't perfect either. The Lagos everyone hoists as the home of excellence...that same Lagos is overrun with touts and area boys and omo oniles who won't think twice before stealing from you, defrauding you or even physical assault. That's your fellow Yoruba person o.

There are bad people in every tribe. There are good people too. Judging an entire tribe because of a few bad eggs is a very myopic thing to do.

You need to repent, bro. For posterity's sake.

BABYBULLETIN:

CodeTemplar:
Hmmmm. It will take a bastard not to see the obvious contradiction in this whole emefiele vs Tinubu/APC saga. What happened go the sponsors of terrorism UAE and others alarmed us about? But see the swiftness and openness with which these entities are following up Emefiele. What about accountant general?

The same selective justice system that allowed subsidy to go but corruption to remain.

u be idiot. They say d guy was fleeing u Snr here saying what of accountant general. So they should wait till they arrest accountant general before they pick Emefiele. Why are u thinking with your dirty ass.

Okortor:
Power is indeed transient, use it judiciously when bestowed on you, however Emefiele was only following orders of the ex president!

did we old his hands not to resign?

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar

Tinubu's administration is failing..he is pursuing his enemies

Aisha ahmad is supposed to be the next cbn acting governor not one mechanical engineering niggar

Nigeria is playing politics of tribalism

This country is very funny......but anyway lets play the tribalism together
The tribalism hidden came out fully and too obvious in this election
Nobody can deceive anyone again

Shebi protest for hit the streets
Before you quote me and conclude am from south east..hell no you are wrong..I'm from edo state..strong Bini origin

fuckingAyaya:
Tinubu will continue making mistakes that will destroy him at the end, na like this pharaoh do before he was destroyed by his own foolishness. God can never be mocked.
