This is a good news. But i.pob will not be happy because it is a good news.

Anything good is anathema to them.

Pray Point:

Any i.pob spirit in your life, disappear now. Amen.

Nigeria to tap $37bn market as firm confirms lithium deposits

I.pob...oya come and get angry 😡 and be saying rubbish.
The kind of news that take your happiness away is here.

I heard that as they are discovering lithium and other resources in Oyo and Bauchi, they are discovering frogs and pigs in the yeast

SmartPolician:
Omo, Tinubu don give all the departments and agencies to Yoruba people. This is not how to run a country with over 360 tribes. It makes no sense.

I am happy for your unhappiness

Radio

First there were many MW stations, none of which was able to really capture my attention. We had Radio Lagos, RCOS, B.C.O.S/Radio O.Y.O, Ogun Radio/OGBC and of course the king of them all Radio Nigeria 1 (1089). Radio Nigeria 1 was the first place to go to for the 7am news and whenever there was a coup.


RN2

Then came the glorious Radio Nigeria 2 (RN2). RN2 played great music and they had superstar presenters. It was the first FM station in Lagos. I paticularly enjoyed listening to the station in the afternoons and at weekends. RN 1 catered to the older folks, while RN2 was the new exciting station for the younger folks (these roles were replicated on tv, with NTA Ch 10 being for the older folks and NTA 2 Ch 5 for the younger folks).

RN 2 had superstars like

(Your Willing Willy) Willy Egbe
Sunny Irabor
(JAJ) Joseph Akinyemi Johnson
Ohi Alegbe
Jones Usen
Ihria Enakhimo (one of the funniest human beings on tv and radio)
(Bonny with the face) Boniface Onogwu
Godwin Asuquo
Momoh Kubanje
Tony Ibegbuna (he was the voice of the station when it started. It seemed like he did all their jingles).

And many more. There were shows like Willy Brunch, Sunny Side Up, Martin Street Special (before the Martin Street studios burnt down), Police Diary, I Beg Una, etc.

Radio Nigeria One later caught my attention with a beautiful breakfast show called Radioscope. In the years that I was hooked on that show (1988-1993) it was hosted at various times by Zachary Mohammed (Captain ZM), Manny Onumonu and Evelyn Russel.

Radio Nigeria Three was set up in 1989 (it was the first community radio station in Nigeria and broadcast in pidgin, igbo yoruba and hausa) and I often listened to them in the evenings.

RN2 is now known as Metro FM, RN3 is now known as Country Radio and RN1 moved from MW to FM and is now known as Radio One.

OGBC 2
Then came the Ogun State Broadcasting Corporation's second station (OGBC2), the second FM station that could be received in Lagos. It blew RN2 out of the water. It was lightyears ahead of its elder sister OGBC (which transmitted on the MW band). It had great presenters like

Ladi Akeredolu-Ale
Larry Ichiejile
Olusesan Ekisola
Aderinsola Aladeselu
Peter Okodua
Busayo Olaifa
Toyin Shogbesan.
Ambrose Shomide
Toba Opaleye

Its breakfast show, which included Headliners (newspaper review) and Bournvita Sports Special with Larry Ichiejile/Izamuje was second to none. It rode on the wave of the golden age of hip hop by playing all the latest hip hop tracks that people wanted to hear.

It was one of the key sources of information during the June 12 movement. People got anti-government news from OGBC2, The Punch, The Concord, etc; pro-government news from the NTA, Radio Nigeria, Daily Times and New Nigerian and impartial news from The Guardian and The BBC. Then the government shut down OGBC temporarily.

Raypower
The very first private radio station actually began broadcasting without permission from government. The station debuted sometime in the middle of the year (broadcasting on 100MHz), then they were ordered to shut down by the NBC, then they legally started transmission towards the end of the year on 100.5MHz.

It virtually wiped out OGBC and RN2 from the airwaves. They were broadcasting from Alagbado, but they had a relay station on Bookshop House in Marina, thus their signal was clearer across Lagos than OGBC and RN2's signals. They poached a lot of talent from OGBC and Radio Nigeria. People like Ambrose Shomide and Momoh Kubanje joined the station. They had presenters like

Olusesan Ekisola (the first General Manager of Raypower, he was poached from OGBC).
Steve "The Sleek" Kadiri.
Dennis Tha Menace Ogi
Ogee Onazi.
Sule "Solazo" Ellams
Becky Ellams
Lola "L Boogie" Mogaji
Ibiyemi Olufowobi
Busola Faiga
Doe Abrahams
Tony Akiotu
Jumobi Adegbesan

They had Milo World Of Sports (which attempted to compete against Larry's Bournvita Sports Special on OGBC), Newspaper Headline Review, Jukebox (with Olusesan Ekishola), Rock Radio (with Dennis Da Menace Ogi), Doe Abraham's calypso show, etc. They also collaborated with The BBC and broadcast Sports Round Up, Sports World, News Hour, etc. It ruled the airwaves for much of the Abacha/June 12 crisis era and people depended on their news for information about what was going on.


Rhythm

And the Murray-Bruces finally floated a radio station. Their selling point was "More music, less talk" and they won people over by playing mainstream music that people liked (hip hop, R&B and soul). Rhythm has endured and has remained one of my top two favourite stations since 1997. They've had presenters like

Femi Sowoolu (formerly of OGBC)
JAJ (formerly of RN2).
Eldee The Don.
Steve (the South African)
Naphtali Tope Brown (Brown Sugar)
Nnamdi Anazia
Kemistry

And more recently

(The Wildchild) I.K Osakiodua
Phoenix
(Big Time) Onome Oyaide

At breakfast time I would often switch between the sports, newspaper review and news programmes on OGBC2, Raypower and Rhythm, before OGBC2's quality and signal strength depreciated.


Cool FM

Between 1998-2010 Cool FM had undoubtedly the best collection of nigerian on air personalities in one radio station that I have ever heard. The only radio station that has had anything like that (and they are a distant second) is Radio Nigeria 2 (in the early 1980s).

They had amazing presenters like

1) Lakeside (Lekan Saheed). He was definitely my favourite. The guy was INSANE!

2) Iyke The G (nobody else plays the kind of music that he plays. It's almost like he reads my mind).

3) Dan Foster (the Big Dawg. He has an unusual ability to connect with his listeners).

4) Kemi Adetiba (amazing impersonations).

5) Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi

6) Olisa Adibua (yes, the same guy that hosted "Top Of The Pops" on NTA2 Channel 5 c1988-1992)

7) Dare Art-Alade

8 ) Tosyn Bucknor (she also co-hosted the crazy Fanta show with Lakeside).

9) Mark Silvere (an american that first presented the Good Morning Nigeria Show. He also had the ability to connect with his listeners [he often prayed for them on air]. Made a good team with Dan Foster).

10) Keith Lane. The very first voice I heard on Cool FM (on the day they started transmitting). This guy is the definition of insane! He introduced "Radio Grafitti" to Cool FM and it hasn't been the same without him (no one has his level of insanity). His first stint at Cool FM ended when he complained about a decision that management were about to make and invited listeners to call in and talk about it. He was brought back several years later, after Dan Foster left the station, but listeners hated him because they kept comparing him to Dan (Dan is nice and friendly, while Keith is irreverent and insane).

11) Charles Supo Orija (the king of news).

They also ran the Bournvite Sports Special with Larry Izamuje for a while (at first it was networked with OGBC2, then it was exclusively on Cool FM) and also had Sports Express with the Sportsvision crew.

Now I just shuffle between Rhythm, NigeriaInfo and Classic FM. No radio station is particularly dominant or strong enough to get my attention exclusively. Raypower lost the right to use their relay station, so their signal isn't particulalrly strong and they also lost a lot of their best presenters. The 2010 tsunami also saw Cool FM losing their best presenters and I don't listen to them anymore. OGBC2 and RN2 (now known as Metro FM) are shadows of their former selves.

I.POB oya, come and defend the thief as usual.

onuman:
Tinubu refused political restructuring of Nigeria during the 2014 CONFAB.

The SW allied with the north and rejected the minimal increase in percentage from oil derivation to the oil producing areas during Obasanjo government's National Political Reforms Conference.


In 2023; Tinubu and his SW upset the rotation formula for presidential election established since 1999, because Tinubu knew that it was the turn of the Igbo to present a president of Nigeria to succeed Buhari.

What other examples or links do you want before you accept that the SW stands for sabotage on the SS and SE?

1. Do not associate yourself with SS. No one wants to associate with SE.

2. You still have not said anything and bring up your evidence, not fake news that we know you for.

3. Tinubu believes in rotational presidency between the north and the south. Nobody wants the Igbos because they are the black leg of the country. They spoil the country's name everywhere they go.

4. Get this into your skull. Nigerian Jews will never be Nigeria president. I know it pains you. Pele.

Gerrard59:
Like I said:



I want to see him succeed, but if I am bet, I bet he would lose. Abuja is Northern's elites playground/city, and they won't allow an Igbo man to dictate how it should be run. If it was a fellow Northerner, feasible. In fact, it is now that there would be cows parading the city to dare him.

Even rubbish is learning from the rubbish you typed.

1. Wike is not Igbo. He made it clear - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2020/12/why-is-wike-denying-his-igbo-roots/amp/

2. Abuja is well balanced amongst all tribe.

3. Most northerners I have met also do not want cows moving everywhere in Abuja.

Hope you have been rubbished by your rubbish write up

Penguin2:
When we were campaigning against these cows under Buhari, Tinubu supporters called us wailers and IPOB and said cows were free to roam around wherever they liked.

I wonder what they will say now that their personal lord and savoiur has said there will no more be cow grazing in Abuja?

Will open grazing now be bad like we have been campaigning since Buhari period?

Master of fake news, post the link where any Tinubu's fan supported open grazing.
You don't have to be stu.pid and then decide to remain stupid. Why

Is this now a tribal competition between those two tribes again?

Why are these two tribes always measuring themselves?

If one tribe posts one thing the orher tribe tries to look for same thing in their tribe to post why?

This is diminishing and destroying the achievements. You mods are not trying at all for allowing yourselves to get drawn into this tribe thing .

You are all teaching the future generations tribalism and hate and oh my will it come home to roost

Go and read on the troubles in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.

You guys don't know the wars you are stoking. When the killings and bombings starts some of you will bury our kids then you would both know what you have done to yourselves .

The 13, 14 and 15 year olds who come here leave with only one thing , hatred for the other tribe.

I pity you yoruba and Igbos . When this food is served both of you will cry asking how you got here .

I just wish Nigeria can be divided so the rest of us stay away from you two tribes.

If Seun had any honor he would shut down this website. This website adds nothing to our nation any more other than dividing us.
My niece that has never left Edo state till she travelled to Canada already hates the Yoruba .

Imagine , a girl of 14 who hasn't interacted with Yoruba enough but thanks to Nairaland she sees them as too tribalitic and bullies .

This website is shaping future generations for hate. Te years where this website was of value has gone .

Seun shut this website down pls

You need serious de-Mmesomarization. You sha want us to know say you have a niece, and she dey canada and that she hates the Yoruba.
Your real message is the hatred you have for the Yoruba, even though you wanted us to believe you are neutral.
But we got the message!!

Let me take you on a journey:

Tell your niece that Yoruba 'Lagba.
Tell your niece that Yoruba does not have problem with the Igbo (pronounced weed), but that it is the Igbo that have problems with the Yoruba.
Tell your niece that most of the Igbo's successes were recorded in Yoruba land, even those JAMB and WAEC results they always post here were not achieved in Anambra or Enugu, but in the South West. That tells you we are liberal.
Tell your niece that she should research the history of the igbos, and how the Yorubas have always been their brothers' keeper.
Tell your niece that the Igbos are bitter and embittered people and they cannot be cured.
Tell your your niece that the Igbos are land-locked people and they are a dot and online nation and nobody gives a hoot about their grievances. That we are used to that.
Tell your niece their sudden love for Obi is just a way to express their Hatred for Tinubu and that they do not really love Obi. Explain to her how the same Obi was seriously cursed and maligned by the same people, then suddenly found him as a saint.
Tell your niece to be careful of the Igbos (that is if she herself is not Igbos)
Tell your niece that Obi won Lagos in Presidential election and heaven did not fall because the Yorubas are liberal people but ask the Igbos if the same thing can happen in their region (if Tinubu can get 1/100th of what Obi get in Lagos in Anambra) .
Tell your niece that their chestbeating of wanting B.iafraud has been granted a long time ago, even the North asked them to go, but they refused. Arent they a confused people?
Tell your niece to ask herself if it makes sense for a people to call Nigeria a zoo and still want to be president of that zoo?
Tell your niece, that her hatred for the Yoruba is pardoned because she is ignorant.

...And tell yourself that you are pardoned because we know you have been Mmesomarised. I will advise you to be BATified though!

Biafrans can't help but expose their covetousness for other people's property. What Joe Abah, a Biafran, is basically doing is trying to ensure that Abuja doesn't have any identity in terms of indigenous ownership. That way, in a couple of years time, they can start screaming no man's land. That's the same way Ezekwesili said Lagos is a "shared space".

Igbo people have exposed themselves so badly. Go on Twitter and Facebook and see the way they are freely expressing their hate for Nigeria. The whole thing has gotten out of hand that neutral Nigerians have seen them for who they are.

Just check the names attached to anti-Nigeria comments, they are usually from South-Easterners. This is unlike nairaland where real names are not used.

How can you be glad that a neighbouring country that is not fit to lace your country's shoes is insulting your country? Yet, you want your son Peter Obi to rule over the same Nigeria. You can't wish evil on a company and still want to be its boss. If you curse the ground, the curses will follow you everywhere as long as you walk on it.

Yes, Northern senators may oppose military intervention based on genuine reasons, but deep down, they are happy about the coup going on in West Africa because it means if such happens in Nigeria, the West won't have any strong country in the region to help restore democracy. It also means that one of their sons will become the military leader because they are the majority in the military. Remember their born-to-rule mentality. Once that happens, their evil Islamization agenda will be unstoppable.

Right now, Southern Nigeria is able to stop RUGA and other land grabbing legislations they've been pushing. But under a junta, no lawmaker will exist to oppose such move. They will simply take land from different regions and hand them to the Fulani who are mostly from Niger and Mali. Sadly, Igbo people can't seem to see this because their hatred for Yoruba people has blinded them. Only a blind man will say the hate doesn't exist. Your land which isn't much in the South-East can't be taken and handed to cattle herders all in the name of RUGA. Those cattle herders will breed like roaches and take over your land. You won't even have the luxury of Twitter to voice your grouse under a junta.

What annoys me the most is that it is 95% confirmed that there are no opposing Igbo voice to the nauseating attitude the tribe is displaying on social media. Sadly, even the elders like Peter Obi, Ezekwesili and their celebrities hold the same horrible mindset and are no more scared of voicing their hatred and greed for other people's success and land. At this point, I just conclude that they are all the same and can never be trusted. That's why they can't get to the presidency.

Those of use who have been on nairaland since 2013 are not surprise by their current display on social media. When they started tribal slurs and taunting other Nigerians because Goodluck Jonathan gave them an edge, we all thought the comments were just coming from riff raffs in their region. But now, we can see that even the highly educated ones and those in position of power who ought to know better are no different.

The best part is that every other Nigerian can now see them clearly. It is now clear that they hate the country and the reason is because they can't function without hating on something. If they were a country, they will hate on themselves, which they actually do; it's just that hating on other Nigerians gives them a false unity.

I would have advised the Igbo to retrace their steps but I've come to realize that they were never without hatred, so they have nothing to retrace. They can keep it up while other Nigerians move forward.

@LifestyleTonite, this is the best description one can give to the i.gbos. It is so apt and accurate.

they can't function without hating on something. If they were a country, they will hate on themselves, which they actually do; it's just that hating on other Nigerians gives them a false unity.

You will never hear oby and obi condemn the hatred-filled outrageous comments from their fellow i.pobs...but they will be quick to react when Sanwoolu try to sanitize Lagos

Once again, @LifestyleTonite, you deserve thumbs 👍.

But be ready for their insults though...you know that's the water 💦 they drink.

Calitoscassius:
60k is not money, just because they pay you 15k for your gate man job doesn't make 60k money, how do you even survive with 15k a month? You must be doing other illegal things to survive


Some of us wear shoes bought for 100k, so 60k is not money atall.

Ode, exposing himself...because you wear 100k shoe.. the FG should increase minimum wage to 100k or 200k?

So if you start wearing 500k shoe, what should the FG do

Bfly:
Fighting fire with fire. Those market people who don't collect minimum wage will neutralise in a very short time. Fix the refinery, tighten security, reestablished trade flow with neighbouring countries, improve electricity supply and create enabling environments. Let the Naira have a rest for a time.
Viable Economy is not about fat pocket or plenty commas.

They are doing all that... Fixing the refinery, tightening security, reestablishing trade flow with neighbouring countries, improving electricity supply and creating enabling environments.

But they are not releasing cownu

Kukutente23:
I thought you said you're rich.
Does 60k look like good money to you?
How much do you fill your tank even if audio?

Speak with intelligence at least for once...so na people wey get car dey collect minimum wage

This is the salary for cleaners, domestic servants, etc. Meaning that other people at higher levels will also have double effect in their salary, for example, someone earning 800,000 may possibly be getting 1.6 million. Hope your skull can assimilate that analysis.

Even if the president decides to pay one billion naira as minimum wage, the failure in you will still jump out to complain 😭

Hope obi has found his tweeting phone
