Many didn't read the massage from a particular region. That means obi has always been in adc.SW president is finished. He won't see 10k votes this time in SE.The governors of SE have all cashed out.

Obi was one of the funder of ADC which he just confirmed

ADC was founded by Ralph Nwosu is 2005. Obi and his gang of traveling desperate politicians are not founding members of the APC. They just formed a coalition and adopted the already existing ADC political party.

Awolowo has no role to play about Lagos. It wasn't even part of the western region, it was a colony.
And don't tell me about the lands gotten from Ogun to create Lagos, there were no industrial estates to them before that.
Yorubas built no industrial estates. British and the FG did. Most of those industries were nationalized after independence

! CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO*

*The last two years of Awolowo as Premier of Western Region was concentrated on efforts to write his name in the book of Legends.*

He incorporated: *Western Hotels* which invested in:
1) _Premier Hotel,
2) _Lafia hotels in Ibadan
3) _Lagos Airport Hotel respectively.

He set up:
*Western Nigeria Development Corporation* to finance mega corporations. This was established in 1958.
It encouraged plantation development with six agricultural plantations covering 20,517 acres in collaboration with Cooperative societies, eleven additional plantations covering 8,468 acres with crops ranging from Cocoa , Rubber, Oil Palm, Citrus, Cashew and Coffee had been put in place all over the region.

WNDC, a clearing house for multitude of companies, established for the rapid industrial development and revolution of the region.
Among them were:
1. _WAPCO at Ewekoro for cement, with enough capacity to serve the whole country.
2. _Nigerite Ltd, producing asbestos and roofing sheets,
3. _National Bank,
4. _Wema Bank,
5. _Nigerian General Insurance,
6. _Great Nigeria Insurance,
7. _Gravil Enthoven and coy,
8. _Vegetables Oil Ltd,
9. _Cocoa Processing Industry Ogba Ikeja,
10. _Odua Textile Mills Ltd,
11. _Wrought Iron Ltd,
12. _Union beverages Ltd, 13. Sungass company,
14. _Wemabod estates, owner of Western House tallest building, then on Broad Street, and other estates,
15. _Western livestocks,
16. _Fisheries services Ltd,
17. _Caxton Press,
18. _Epe Plywood,
19. _Asakar Paints,
20. _Nigeria Crafts and Bags Ltd,
21. _Nipol Plastics in Ibadan,
22. _Phoenix Motors.

Also, he opened up biggest industrial layouts in:
i. Ibadan, Oluyole and
ii. Lagos Oba Akran axis and
iii. *Ilupeju in Mushin axis with over 120 factories* for mass production of different needs & gave birth to:
23. _Nigeria Textile Mills,
24. _West Africa Breweries,
25. _Dunlop Tyres,
26. _Crittal Hope Aluminum,
27. _Tower Aluminium,
28. _Solel Boneh,
29. _Nidogas,
30. _Nigeria Wire and Cables in Ilupeju.

Odua Investments was the largest conglomerates in Nigeria as at 2004 with assets worth over N10 trillion.

Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo paid the Western Nigeria Civil servants, the highest salaries far above Federal government.
So much jobs were created by vast industrialisation drives.
All these were achieved without Oil revenue between1951-1959. He also touched the road construction with bitumen & laid road network covering over 2,000 kilometers throughout the region.

Other achievements of his regime are:
1. _Cocoa House, the tallest building in West Africa for decades,
2. _Liberty Stadium, the most modern in the entire African,
3. _Western Nigeria Television & Broadcasting Service (WNTV/WNBS), the first Radio & Television Stations in Africa,
4. _Many General Hospitals and Dispensaries in rural area.
5. _Free Education at primary school level.
6. _His effort in Cooperative society development gave birth to establishment of Cooperative Bank in 1953 and Cooperative College.

The eight years most of this present Governors spend, was the same with Pa Awolowo, covering what comprises 8 states nowadays, yet he achieved so much. Most of our present day Governors could not mention one world class company, corporate institution or industry set up to create jobs for teaming youths being turned out year in, year out, by our ivory towers.

Today leaders should at least emulate our late sage foot steps instead of all the temporary empowerment programs (Motor cycle, Keke Napep, Pepper grinding machine, Cassava grinding machine, Deep freezer, Fridge, Clipper etc) being used to cajole the electorates at the turn of election every four years.
A time will come in this nation that people aspiring for position must show a well laid out plan before the electorate.
The cash and carry politics will fail as it's the practise in developed nation.
Let us always look forward to lasting legacies.

*OBAFEMI AWOLOWO* was obviously ahead of his peers and till today no living or deceased Nigerian has surpassed his achievements.
You wonder why the southwest Nigeria did well.

In the 1990s, Nigeria Textile Mills, Oba Akran Ikeja alone employed over 4,000 workers before the military mismanagement of economy killed the company with unfriendly company policies

*Can we ever find a leader like this man in Nigeria again?*

*Indisputable fact*

madridguy:
Peter Obi should aopear as a man for once and stop running around.

How can he na? ADA-OBI is a girl's name😆😄😀

AqualinaXYZ:
South south is 100% APC abi?



By bullying and threats by Tinubu abi?



Oya naa do free and fair election and find out yourself



With free and fare election Tinubu go even get more votes in South East than South South



When it comes to what south west will gan they’ll remember Southern unity



But same south west worked against Jonathan



If you’re a south southerner here I want to tell u that no unity between us and south west and we not one and will never be one



The target is our resources finish

If you are not a bigoted fellow with selective amnesia, you will also know that the South West worked for and voted for the same Jonathan who who foolishly destroyed the so called Southern unity by marginalising the South West and filling his government with loud mouthed nonentities with very weak electoral value. The South West hit back hard, not only did Jonathan feel it, his party also felt it JONATHAN AND HIS BAND OF SYCOPHANTS DESTROYED THE SOUTHERN UNITY NOT THE SOUTHWEST.

Burob:
This directive should be by the local government, not the federal government.

How can the federal government effectively do so from Abuja?

Very good point you raised 👍🏼

Man's inhumanity to man.

How was this woman feeling during the act? Some humans mentor Satan.

stop it . Na woman do am. Wetin concern man there? 😆😄

Baba electrician, I like you over believed your hype. Obasa is on ground deliver massively.

We have no business giving terrorists amnesty. Our duty is to send them to God and let him decide what to do with them.

The same Kanu and his band of rogues that is partly responsible for you moving most of your businesses from the South East Kanu and his boys destroyed?

South Africa don make a very big mistake.

Kalashnikov49:
Its not Kuje buzu

He is in DSS custody.

read this:

Court of Appeal acquitted the agitator in a judgment delivered on October 13, 2022

He is using your own courts to smash that black dot on your forehead

And the supreme court overturned the Appeal court judgement this setting the stage for his trial in the Federal High Court.
If Kanu is found guilty, he also has the right to appeal.

Did he also state that those he ordered their killings in the SE are Christians? As IPOB leader he placed a bounty on and ordered the head of Nyesom Wike on a plate . Wike is a Christian too.
Did he state that he is a proscribed terrorist specialising in killing of Christians too?

We have Ibo Christian terrorists too in the SE killing Christians too.

The orange man should keep his deported prisons in his private properties if he can't any country to to accept and house them. We can't accept your prisoners, we have our own issues to deal with.

2, averagely maximum 4.

When them concict you, we no wan hear say na because then arrest your lawyer that's why you lose the case o. 😄😆🦍

We gave you your independence..
Biafrans fought and worked hard more than any group to rescue this country from the imperialistic stranglehold of the colonial British, only for you brood of "suffering and smiling" serfs to go and invite the same British over, less than a decade after flag independence, to help you subjugate the most vibrant group in the whole of black Africa...
After trillions earned post Biafra Nigeria war.., look at your beuriful Nigeria..
Igbos made Nigeria, not the other way round..

Certainly you are roving mad . Igbos give who independence? You Ibos that' Our uncle Àjàyí Crowther came to you at Onitsha qnd met you starving idle, naked and some dressed in filthiness.
Ajayi Crowther met the Ibos starving and he taught them sustainable agricultural practices that saved the form starvation and reduced thair tendencies to cannibalise.see attached from a page of one of the books Ajayi Crowther wrote about you Ibos.
The title is CHARGES ON THE BANK OF THE RIVER NIGER page 14

Nothing supposed concern Biafrans with Nigeria's constitution and justice system.

I just have to excuse your ignorance, because clearly, you were either failed by the Nigerian education system or you’ve chosen tribal bias over historical fact.

First of all, Lagos was Nigeria’s capital and a federal territory belonging to all Nigerians until it was moved to Abuja in 1991 by Babangida. As a former FCT, Lagos attracted people from across the country and beyond, all contributing to its growth and development. The ports, the commerce, the industries built not by any one ethnic group alone, but by Nigerians of diverse backgrounds working side by side.

You speak of Yorùbá wealth building Lagos like Lagos was a farmstead passed down by your ancestors. Lagos position as a colonial and economic hub predated oil, and its growth was accelerated by federal presence and investment, not some hidden treasure from “Yoruba hinterlands.” Do your research don’t just echo what tribal propagandists feed you.

And this idea that a surname in Yoruba land is a flex is exactly why Nigeria continues to struggle with unity. A name is not a deed. A tribe is not a title of ownership. Your ancestors didn’t build Lagos in isolation. It was built by laborers, traders, civil servants, port workers, soldiers, artisans, Aworis who are the indigenous Lagosians, Hausas, Igbos, Itsekiri, Nupe, Efik, and yes, Yoruba not Nairaland tribal agbadorians claiming inheritance rights based on last names.

Being loud doesn’t make you right. It just makes you sound insecure.

Kf the anus has a voce box, I would definitely day you said all these from ur Anus. Firstly the part of Lagos Island which was the Capital of nogeria till 1991 was actually named EKO bu the Yorùbá groups that are the owners and forst settlers on that Island used as a farm settlement. Eko is a variation of the Yorùbá phrase EKO meaning FARM, PLANTATION. EREKO (meaning (FARMSTEAD) is a derivative od the root word Eko
OKO, EKO, IKO are all Yorùbá words with same meaning which is farm. IKOrodu is actually ODU LEAF FARM. IKO-ata in Onisiwo Island means PEPPER FARM. EKO-EFUN in Olukunmi literally means CHALK FARM. It is a quarry where white native chalks are mined. Lagos Island was actually a farming and fishing settlement of the Awori sub group of the Yorùbá ethnic nation.
Lagos as a state was created in 1967 from many Yoruba communities and lands that was part of the Western Region developed with cocoa wealth from the hinterlands of the Yorùbá People.
Abuja is the current capital for 34 years now. Lokoja was once the colonial capital and seat of powerof the Northern and southern protectors. Calabar was once the Capital of the Southern Protectorate. Enigu was the Capital of the Old Eastern region and the South Central state. Karuna was the capital if the Northern region. GO AND CLAIM THOSE LANDS TOO.
1n 1921, there was a judgement in the privy council in London (the UK highest or rather supreme court) in the case of Chief Amodu Tijani Oluwa vs Secretary of the colonies (1921) thatLagos Land belongs to the Native Yorùbás and their families, chiefs and traditional rulers. That the treaty ceding Lagos to the British was just for administrative purposes and does not confer or transfer ownership to the British who lack the power to allocate such lands to a third party and that Chief Oluwa be compensated for the use of any part of his land in Apapa. Land allocation is entrenched in the local native laws and customs. of the native Yorubas.
If the British in their own courts cannot own Lagos, how come some uncultured Osu from the evil forests of Ohafia will lay claim to Lagos Island or any part of Lagos state.
As an Ìjèbú Rẹmo descendant, From Remo North in Ogun state to Ikorodu in Lagos is Rẹmọ land. Ibẹju and Epe in Lagos is Ìjèbú land that covers further than Ijebu Ode in Ogun state. Some Ìlájé are indigenes of Epe too. The Aworis Own Eko, Vi, Ajah to Apapa, down to Badagry with the Egun Indigenes who are their customary tenants in Badagry. The Aworis also extends to Lusada Ado Odo, Otta in Ogun state. The Egbas own a large part Alimosho with the Aworis and some Oyo settlers. Egba land extends to Abeokuta and beyond.
Awolowo's AG build the Industrial estates on Apapa, Ikeja, Ilupeju Mushin, Matori and Ladilo. They built the Lagos Airport before federal take over. The Lagos port was developed with Western region's money. The cocoa board building iin Apapa is a testament.
LASG built the BRT transposit system, LAGRIDE, BLUE and RED LINE RAILS, The LEKKI FREE TRADE ZONE, LEKKI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, LEKKI DEEP-SEA PORT with foreign partners, EKO ATLANTIC, The schools, roads and general hospitals, WHICH ONE IBOS BUILT FOR US FOR LAGOS?
WETIN IBOS BUILD? 2 by 4 shops, houses for canals and drainage paths, unapproved shops?
You leeches should go and hold your Ghost workers governors responsible and stop doing long throat on another's already developed land.
Sambisa Forest dey there free of charge if you want development.
Lagos amd Yorùbá land was built by the sweat, toil, efforts and developmental foresights of our fathers. Lagos was developed when your fathers and mothers were still living in trees. And they were being flogged to not come to the markets without clothes.
