How do I get fuel for my generator from my car?

.I tried using hose, it didn't work.

How can I get fuel from my fuel line in the engine?
Is it safe?

Petrol stations are not selling into Jerry cans.

.... Black market is also very expensive.

Agberocracy is not a type of government.

Every tribe lives everywhere but because of politics, you've become an idiot to tribalism.

Even if politics has caused many people to have their vision impaired and mindset politically disorganized, I'm willing to help you out for free. If you consider the Awori or Bini to be the indigenous community that once owned Eko, the land that is now Lagos State, or that they met the Yoruba people there when they came, then you should refer to them as Bini/Awori or both since they were the first settlers. It is of the utmost importance that we comprehend the past within its appropriate setting.

On the other hand, one may posit that the Yorubas are the rightful owners of Eko. No arguments. But why does it matter to politicians?

The government of Nigeria made the decision in December 1991 to relocate the nation's capital to Abuja, which is located in the middle of the country. Prior to that time, Lagos served as the nation's capital. Lagos was already established as the capital of Nigeria. What is more, it was referred to as Lagos, British Nigeria. Let's not pretend it wasn't very developed. It was even during colonial era because it was a good spot for colonial masters to perfect their exploitation.

And would you believe it? Many decades before Tinubu began his political career, members of the Igbo tribe and people from other tribes had already established a presence in Lagos. Even before and after the war!

Does this mean people from other tribes don't stay in the East?

Well, the last time I checked, there are significantly more Hausa and Yoruba people in Aba, for example, than there are the Igbo. If you doubt, visit the main markets in the East. In point of fact, there is a location there referred to as "Mosque" that is set aside specifically for them. There's another place called "Ala Hausa." And there is no interference with them as they go about their job. And not just these places, they live amongst indigenes. Do a survey: the Hausas in the East are allowed to go even to the deepest part in the villages... I mean, the cobblers. And they are never disturbed. In addition to this, they have been able to form friendships and even intermarry with the locals. If you also know the thousands of way-billed commodities leaving the east every day from people from other tribes who patronise what is sold in the East, you'll calm down like me. And I also know this happens also in every state!

You must be surprised!

In the markets too, there are innumerable Yorubas in big Igbo markets like the Ariaria, Ngwa Road Market, Main Markets among others. As they are Igbos in Yoruba lands and every other places in Nigeria. These Yorubas blend in easily and are never seen as immigrants.

In my house, there's a Yoruba man and a Hausa man here, and they are one of the lovely people I've seen. Remove tribal politics and you'll understand that the main people who should be hated are the politicians. Whether you call anyone Nyamiri, or Ndi Ofe Mmanu, or Aboki(mostly in derogatory sense) it is very stupid to think you are superior to others. No apologies.


In Togo, for instance, the Igbo population predominates in the country's two largest markets, Asiyeye and Asiganmi. This is one example of the Igbo migration. The situation is similar in Wurukum, which is located in Benue.

In Biu in Borno State, before the insurgency, their market woman liaise well with the Igbos and good women from other tribes.

In Alaba International Market, Lagos, it's the same thing. Is bringing business and revenues for the state a bad thing? Rather than concentrate on the business mind, you caption it that they come in “night buses“ and then “insult the owners.“ Why all these political hate for a tribe? What does night buses denote? Poverty? Even you and I know that the Igbo tribe isn't a poor one.


How and why?

I grew up with the Hausas and if I were to choose a more peaceful people, I'll choose them. I also stayed in Lagos and a typical Yoruba man really has no problems. Forget political business, the yorubas give you a free vibe and belonging. I did my whole nursery, primary and secondary school there so I can tell you for free that they are lovely people. I stayed in the East too. I think the major thing an Igbo man concentrates on is to feed his family. As in, everyone is concentrating to survive and survive others. Even as a stranger, you are carried along on happenings in the East. 😎 In Esan, Edo, it's just a struggle to not be poor. 💯 In Benue, the market at NASME junction, North Bank, is dominated by Igbos, yorubas and Hausas and they cooperate in one mind. If one doesn't have, he directs you to his neighbours from other tribes... that's beautiful. Apart from the Tiv and Idoma differences, they still live peacefully. Even in cultism-dominated areas in North Bank, you can still survive as much as you mind your business. 😮‍💨 In Kaduna, everyone lives their lives without prejudice. Na only government I see wey dey cause tribal and religious differences.😒 In Kogi, the lovely people I so admire, esp the Ebira people, like who get your time when everyone wants to survive? 🥱 How about the Akwa Ibomites? They are very comely to strangers, and they have very beautiful ladies.🙂 In Bayelsa, dem go wan use food kee you. I mean very fresh food. I love the Bayelsa people jare. 😘 I've stayed only in Abeokuta and Ibadan and I can tell you that intelligent people lives and are made there. Apart from that, young people are quick to make friends with you. No 🧢.

Then how come politicians make it as though we are enemies?

Do we genuinely despise one another? A laughable falsehood. In fact, I tell you today that we love one another but because of the political pride created by our leaders, we refuse to accept it. I can't let any politician recruit me to hate a tribe...I rather hate the recruiter.

There are Nigerians living in every country in the world! And in certain locations, they can point to communities to their name. Migration is ingrained in the human psyche and behavior!

In the UK, yeah, everyone knows about the racism there. We complain a lot about it. But the new normal in Africa is that we are also horrible racists. In our tribes, I mean our main tribes, we also exclude some clans as inferior or outcasts...maybe due to our numbers. Even if Nigeria is divided, you'll notice that each tribe will still create internal tribalism amongst themselves. That's how bad your leaders are.


Back to discussion, of all the tribes littered everywhere, why are the Igbos the only people you feel are immigrants to Lagos? Isn't it constituted that everyone can live anywhere? Are the Igbos the only tribe in Lagos?

You aren't politically learned then!

Is it because there's an Igbo man in the political race? Is this why the Igbo tribe are always in your mouths? Is Tinubu from Lagos himself? Tinubu is from Iragbiji in Osun state...and instead of hating people stealing from you, you hate people they program you to hate.

I've always maintained that whatever anybody does, blame the person not the place.



Politically-wise and otherwise, if you cannot reason out the bloodline of political sentiments by politicians using you as a pawn, you will remain a pawn to every political narrative.

Back to Lagos, like I always say, if the money that has been stolen in Lagos was stolen in America. Americans would be refugees in Nigeria. And this isn't just about Lagos, it's about our politicians. If the monies that have been stolen in all states in Nigeria were shared to all Nigerians equally, everyone would be a trillionaire...I mean, even if you have to reincarnate five times.

From what I see on Nairaland, ditch the presidential aspirants, na most Nigerians foolish abeg. The muscle una dey use dey fight unaselves is a thing of fancy. You dey support who know even know if you are among the living or dead and want to kill over it. You are a fool. Yes, you.

The three main contestants are all failures yet some are killing themselves over them. Some are dead already and more will still die. Same politicians who'd still meet and eat together after the elections. They call it politics and not physical war; but na your skull dey roll.


We preach loving one's neighbour on every religious day but never practice it. It seems our Bibles and Qurans are only for Sunday mornings and Fridays...while our evil remains intact. No apologies.

It's very right for me to conclude and say common sense is not very common in the common man.


Idiocy per excellence.
