It's terrible.

This should be on front-page

A mild drama played out on Friday as residents of Lagos Island and traders of the popular Idumota market expressed dissatisfaction with President Bola Tinubu, shouting in Yoruba, “Ebi npa wa oo” meaning- we are hungry.

The traders who filed on both sides of the road as the convoy of the president passed through the ever-busy market, refused to hail him but instead kept talking of their pains believed to have been caused by the government.

Underneath the complaining voices in the video, residents were heard saying the presidency had known the plans of the people which was the reason for the heavy security. However, the alleged initial plan was not made known.

The President is in Lagos to celebrate both Christmas and New Year.

DAILY POST reports that Nigerians are currently celebrating the Yuletide under a series of economic challenges ranging from the shortage of cash to the skyrocketing price of the premium motor spirit commonly called petrol.

He was a deadwood at United, he is better at his current small Club with less pressure to perform.

Yep.

I don't blame his rants though when a clown played Weghorst almost every match....

🚨🚨🎙️| Anthony Elanga: “Last season wasn’t easy for me because I’d play 5-10 mins then I wouldn’t play 10 games then it would be in and out. This game was kinda personal for me, to prove that I am capable of playing at higher levels.”

🚨🚨| Antony has reportedly suffered an “hamstring problem”.

Politicians smiling to the bank.

Igbo Yorubas marrying every Saturday.

Igbo Yorubas breaking barriers together in business , entertainment, sports etc..

But dumb social media clowns keep being pawns in politicians hand through tribalism and religion.

O citizen, when will they sense come?

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. Have you been to the "whites" authentic historical enclaves?

Most of you should stop this your inferiority complex to the "whites. Ile Ife is not the mate of your village or state. It's going to be in that pristine state to keep our history and well preserved knowledge you can not see as an outsider.

There are places designated for the vanity and fancy you crave but there are places that will be kept in their historical states. The Yoruba are not stupid enough to demolish places that are several centuries old of history, culture and knowledge.

How do you think that, out of several tribes the transatlantic slavery forced overseas, the Yoruba culture and religion is the only one that survived and still being practiced in those far flung lands till date? Why do you think those descendants of Yoruba in diaspora and the Americas travel yearly back to Ile Ife and Osun on spiritual pilgrimage? To see fake new buildings and watch destroyed history? No. They come because they know that they will connect to their rich history, roots and religion.

The Yoruba have built civilisation and more sophisticated to the whites for centuries yet preserved our history.

Below is Lagos and Ibadan like a century ago. The ancient city of Ibadan hosted Africa's first stadium, Tv station, west Africa's first skyscraper, Nigeria's 1st university even while people were still walking unclothed in Igboland o

Why should an eye sore continue??

The pyramids of Egypt are being renovated from time to time while preserving their history, same as the whites... What's stopping us in the SW from renovating all these eyesore.

We'll come to Lagos, buy land and build... When we want to be buried, we'll ask that they take our corpse back home (village) for burial... And yet we can't renovate all these dead houses....

Only 5 midfielders 😂😂😂😂

Blake755:
🚨🗣️ Cafu: "Gary Neville is paid to say a lot of lies on live TV. This is why he always talks. He never won anything big in his life. Who is he, to judge between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo?"

"Only Ronaldinho, Pele, Platini and Zidane, can judge between these type of players because they were the only ones close to their level if not equal. English people talk too much without winning."

Thoughts? 🔥

Cafu is right... Well no one takes any of these English ex players seriously though.... So no qualms

Does WizKid have any investment in his hometown?? Instead of buying all these irrelevance 😵‍💫

FreeStuffsNG:
What you see as old is the history of mankind just in case you don't know Ile-Ife the Source.

Go to Europe and United Kingdom to understand what the Yoruba are teaching you by preserving their history. Those houses have produced global icons and Nobel Laureate. Even the current MD of MTN Nigeria whose father is a medical doctor and current Oba in same Ile Ife LGA grew up in one of those houses yet today sits atop one of the greatest African companies.

Ile Ife is not your mate o or the mate of your whole state let alone your village. It's the size of some states in South East in land mass and population and it hosts the Great Ife, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.

So why can't the big men of Osun state renovate these environments, just like what the whites do, to make it pleasing to the eye?

They will make money and keep building edifices in Lasgidi, but won't remember to put something in their hometown...

See Davido for instance, omo Osun, does he have any edifice in his hometown?

Hippo Ke Please o
