Obi is the Vice Chancellor of University of Calabar but Iniobong can't become Vice Chancellor in Owerri lol

Yorubas in Lagos are taking the right step in curbing these inconsistencies.

Bigotry and hate clouds reasoning, a simple background check would've spared you from this embarrassing post, but you were quick to hit your keyboard, bros try and be a better human being and see humanity before tribe

Gentledove2001:
This man may be a billionaire but he lack class and he the most unstable politician i have seen, he keeps contradicting his self. He keeps explaining and explaining he can't even keep to his words and he want to be president of Nigeria. Is the explanation necessary?

Guess you missed a lot of your English class, please no try explain abeg

RealityKings1:
You reported issues about the port to who?
Then who gave the instructions to decongest the ports?


Haaba now, its like being a minister under a President and saying you don't work for the administration.

Read and comprehend please, everything is not about justifying your entrenched political opinion

Commentor:
Same argument when black slaves were to be given freedom.

Different scenario bro, slavery with it's dehumanizing procecces will always encounter rebellion from people of conscience irrespective of their race

Commentor:
There was once a time black people were banned from using facilities, participating in sports, and many who claimed to be religious and called by God, supported it.

I personally do not think it's right for a man to participate in female sports, only because he enjoys some advantage based on his natural attributes.

Yet, we must not discriminate against them.

They already have a tough life.

You can maintain decorum without shaming.

You can empathise even if you aren't afflicted.

There should be a limit to being woke, humanity thrives by abiding to clearly defined boundaries. Allowing certain tendencies which clearly threaten the very fabric of human existence is an invitation to self destruction. Absolute freedom without reasonable control does not benefit any society

wanimo:
When Buhari, El Rufai, Amaechi, Tinubu, Kwankwaso, Nyako, etc were arming criminals to destabilize Nigeria in a quest to take power from GEJ, they didn't know that it was going to backfire this badly

You conveniently left out one very prominent name from your list of conspirators, have you heard about the one that flies in the night, A. K .A. BAT

Extend my congratulations to the soon to be latest owner of Iphone 12, we move

VeryWickedMan:
Tinubu has been rejected in the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria

Unfortunately he has the overwhelming approval of the two regions that ultimately decide who wins, hope you've heard of INEC and the JUDICIARY

RodgersAkpafu:
So the Scots willingly joined the Union?
Or the Welsh?
Or even Quebec?

Seems like you need to brush up on a history book.
Nigeria CAN work IF the people WANT it to work
And it is better for Nigeria to work as one unit

Because a divided and disintegrated Nigeria does no one any good

It looks cool but what it happens it won't be so cool
Sudan and South Sudan are BOTH engulfed I'm civil war as we speak

You keep talking about history, but the evolution of the nations you keeping citing as examples of what works in a multiethnic society, is totally different from ours , and as for the Scots, there is already a constitutional framework for them to decide their future which they can utilize anytime the need arises in their view. Nigeria as presently constituted was entirely for the economic benefit of the British without any consideration for the divergent ethnic nationalities, and our political elite are persisting with same model purely for their own economic and political needs, and they will not willingly give up these corrupt privileges, a recipe for disaster in my view. Nigerians as a people are resilient and enterprising but Nigeria as a political entity as presently constituted will kill the Nigerian, mark my words

nairalanda1:
Problem is, we are a resource dependent nation. Fix the idea that economic development is dependent on everyone getting share of national cake, and make sure every state , even village is making stuff that the world can use...then we can go somewhere.

Anything else is asking for war over resources.

On this I concur

nairalanda1:
Nigeria cannot divide. The guy is right. Far too many people are benefiting from Nigeria, than not benefiting from it. I don't mean prosperity.

Even in the 1960's when Biafra happened, and am sure you are supporting Biafra, there were issues between Igbos and minorities. Even today, minorities won't join Igbos. Then there is the reason why midwest region was created, plus the North is not as united as before.

If Nigeria breaks up, it won't be a clean breakup. You will end up with what is happening in DR Congo...hundreds of tribal millitants fighting each other, herdsmen, and some sort of rag tag remnant of the Army for control of resources. And a large flow of refugees.

I am not saying you should not support your idea for Nigeria's division. If you want division, no wahala. But I am saying that, the palaver is that it may not be as easy as you think. Most minority tribes, for example, feel that their life is better in a united Nigeria than a divided nigeria where the big tribes will prey on them (and if you think it won't happen, you never see nigerian history properly). And they collectively outnumber the big tribes, and the fulanis.

Also, many of you people who want division of Nigeria are not consistent. You cannot be shouting secession one minute, and then when it is election time, be saying we should vote for your candidate, who does not want secession. If Obi won in 2023, or Atiku won in 2019, dem no go gree for secession. They have benefited from a united Nigeria, and will continue to benefit from it.

Ekweremadu...yes, I know he is a disgrace....but a broken clock is right two times a day...has given a good road to dividing nigeria without sitting down and shouting 'We want division', 'Nigeria is a mess' online.

Personally, I don't want Nigeria to break up, but what are we doing presently to prevent that, nothing on my view, infact we are doing exactly the opposite. Yes I support the idea of Biafra, but a Biafra within a restructured and just society where all ethnic nationalities are valued, anything less than that, this nation will ultimately implode and Congo will be like a child's play. As for Obi, he portrays himself as a good man, well I don't need him or any igbo man as president within the present political structure of Nigeria because they won't be any different from PBAT and his predecessors. Nigeria is just a business enterprise handed over to a group of selfish businessmen who now use religious and ethnic primordial loyalties to negotiate and share economic and political power among themselves. Eventually that business will fail unless it is repositioned

RodgersAkpafu:
Britain has three major ethnic groups and it's still a country
Belgium has TWO MAJOR ethnic groups and it's still a.couhtry
Switzerland nko?
Singapore nko?
What of Canada ?
Even America is more complex than Nigeria because you see two very contrasting and powerful ideological blocks dragging for the soul of America

But Nigeria own is different?
This is the typical short sightedness and lack of critical thinking that black people exhibit that will still make their country shiiiitholes even if you split every country into ten

The countries you sited as examples why naija ain't breaking up anytime soon actually lend credence to my argument, when you consider how they evolved, in that, the are willing union of various nationalities with clearly defined political and legal boundaries, unlike Nigeria which was a purely forced union for the economic convenience of the Brits . If we don't sincerely sit and discuss objectively, no level of emotional blackmail will stop this nation from imploding, and everyone will feel the negative impact

Difrent:
Na lie.

Na only when una person no dey government we dey hear all this kind nonsense

Don't you get it?
Nigeria isn't going to break up because the things holding it together are more than what wants to divide it.
Is Nigeria the most diverse nation on earth? Of course not. For other diverse nations to exist and united means Nigeria can too

Very simplistic and sorry to say myopic view of the tragedy called Nigeria. What else if not the corrupt elite that iare holding Nigeria together purely for their own needs. No nation on Earth with three major ethnic nationalities will ever survive within the context of the corruption ridden political process and structure obtainable in Nigeria currently.

nairalanda1:
But he is still borrowing.

Look, boys and girls, a lot of you people will come here to call me taxman, agbero, etc....but the hard truth is, so long as our budget is 80% reliant on monies from oil, we will borrow, and borrow more, and borrow, until we learn how to run our economy and government properly and face hard truths.

The budget for this year was based on the idea that oil prices will remain at least at 75 dollars per barrel. AND EVEN THEN...the government had to borrow 13 bn dollars extra. That is at Jan 1 2025. Since then, oil has fallen, and will keep falling this year. It is now at 60 dollars per barrel and has even been at 59 dollars per barrel. And it is going to keep falling. And here is a scary fact, we need oil to be at 130-39 dollars per barrel before we can say we got enough money...so even with all that, we are broke. AND THE ANNOYING THING...is that stealing is still in progress eg the budget padding happened this year as usual.

(Oh, and for agbadorians, that is why GEJ borrowed. Despite oil prices being high under his government, for the most part they did not pass 130 dollars per barrel).

But, forgetting corruption, oil prices have fallen far below the benchmark, that if Nigeria does not borrow, the government won;t be able to pay nothing, nada,zilch in salaries, contracts, etc. Which means people would be out of money and out of luck.

That is why, since we got independent, we should have gone industrial...but no. All of you calling for army rule...the times we have had army rule, none of them did the needful and improved industrial development. We have never had a general park type ruler.And we never will because of our oil dependent narrative.

Tinubu should have raised money by raising our tax to gdp ratio, raising income from alternative means, and by actually fighting corruption, and also by encouraging diversification. (I don't want to hear any it takes time to do things). And he should have removed power subsides as well....so that the sector can grow. And he should have started all this on June 1 2023.

Manufactured goods and services. Dutch disease.

Oil is a CURSE.

Interesting thought, unfortunately most of our political office holders are not cerebral enough to appreciate this line of thought, they are mostly merchantile in nature and transactional in their dealings, both recipe for disaster for a nation struggling for identity

SatoshiX:
Propaganda has an expiry date. Can someone post the current condition of this road as at today so that those not in Aba will know it's all Iies and the road has been washed away after few month.

Guess your wish is that the rehabilitation fails, in order to fullfil your bigot motivated dislike for a region. Never bad to wish others well when something good happens to them

Samantha125:
If you want to be responsible with your money, that's totally fine with me, but if I come home the following day with shopping bags, don't ask me where I got the money from the same way I won't ask you about your finances.

And if I tell you that I'm going on a girls vacation, don't ask me who's paying for the vacation... Just watch and go ahead and do you while I do me.

You live for shopping bags I guess, so go ahead and fill as many you possibly can, so long as I have my peace and my exclusive garden remains exclusive

cocolacec:
Business don land for Biafrans.

This na major client, any idea how I can be his supplier

FreeStuffsNG:
I am not sure your point is relevant if you're familiar with the strategic advantages Yemen has that is not even the drones but its rugged mountainous terrains and the iron-clad backing of Iran.

If you want to turn your people to Houthis, you need to first have your own country like the Houthis and remember to get an Iran to back you and huge mountain terrains that you can build long tunnel under. Yemen is Houthis and Houthis is Yemen. Nigeria is Nigeria so you are comparing apples and oranges.

That you have drones doesn't translate into reason to jump into war or insurrection.

Any Nigerian or part of Nigeria that foolishly embark on insurrection will be bombed like hell!

Pray no part of Nigeria embarks on insurrection , cause there won't be anyone to do your bombing to hell

davillian:
before you did nike

Damn, now that's a true OG talking, my respect bossman

davillian:

This thread na for OG's, wetin concern me when I am rocking ma NIKE sneakers

Expressing pride in the citizenship of other nations tells me all I need to know about where Nigeria is at the moment

Hoelujohn:
Tinubu will use INEC in a way never seen before. Just watch out.

And Nigeria will most likely experience what it has not experienced before

Does anyone know how I can be added to the WhatsApp group, a handsome reward awaits

Hope something good comes out of this for players in Nigeria

God1000:
The double standard is mind boggling. This is how democracy dies and dictatorship is born

If Obama did any of this, it would be a different outcome, and much more outrage, reason being that he's a black man, the same africans worshipping Donald trump today would have labelled him a typical blackman.

8 good years in office without a single scandal


The hatred and racism is real in America

What makes Obama a black man. Folks like me see him as an individual with mixed parentage. In other words,once white gene comes in contact with the black gene it's purity becomes diluted that it can no longer be considered to be white

Zonefree:
Lol

When you're still on earth? I can't leave you here na.

Na lie, you abandoned him, just like Ashake 's mother did. Now you want to come back because..............., I don't really know why, a beg tell us

MadPolitician:
I have to do what I have to do

keep on doing what you gat to do. i.e keep on sipping the poison called tribalism , hoping it kills your perceived enemies (igbos I presume?).

beerfraud:

And thou shall continue warning

motivated by someone else's misery, wow. That's for lowlifes with no inner essence. Said my piece and I am out

AbuTwins:
Abeg which Prophecy is the culprit fulfilling?

Jesus fasted 40days and never told anyone to fast 40days! Daddy GO asked his children to fast 100days, wetin concern you wey no be hin children?

He's not supposed to be released!

Some Boys Make Fun of Elisha
Elisha went from that city to Bethel. He was walking up the hill to the city, and some boys were coming down out of the city. They began making fun of him. They said, “Go away, you bald-headed man! Go away, you bald-headed man!”

Elisha looked back and saw them. He asked the Lord to cause bad things to happen to them. Then two bears came out of the forest and attacked the boys. There were 42 boys ripped apart by the bears. Kings 2:23-25

And you are absolutely convinced that God sanctioned the death of 42 boys for that. I believe in God, but not this one you are referring to

Omoawoke:
So you think it requires a female judge to deal with a rapist
There are many men out there who hate rapists with passion because they are humans and have females in their families too

I won’t hesitate to sentence this guy to death by firing squad if I have the opportunity

Would rather castrate the fellow, that way he'll be alive seeing pvssy flying around him, and his rod won't do jack. That's mental prison, ain't nothing worse than that
