🌝🌝

Why?

Are u ....? Were u banned?

jaxxy:
Who will buy the lubricants worh billions na still igbos.

Some of you brag like children and make intelligent and reasonable Igbos embarrassed.

Magnoliaa:
Congratulations!

Picking up one self back from whatever limiting situation will always be a top-tier trait.

This is very spirit lifting even for me. You can be sweet, honoured lady.

DMerciful:
You're shortsighted! You lost kwara through betrayer, you'll lose Lagos through 'excessive globalization'

This man u are so unreasonable.

Philistine:
How can they lose what they never own? Yorubas are not indigenious to Lagos

So who are indigenous to Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, Ikeja? Or are you just referring to the tiny piece of Island called Eko because of its contoversial history? Most of these industries and commercial activities today that gave LAGOS STATE the importance it enjoys are not even happening there (Eko-- Lagos island).

SouthSouth1914:
I wasn’t aggressive in any sense. Maybe you should go back and read through his response to my comments. By the way he could have just made his comments without quoting me.

Back to you!!

The same northerners are the ones pillaging the countries resources. Why do governors need to go to Abuja to lobby before they get their monthly allocation?

Why are the different ministries headed by northerners stealing hundreds of billions?

How many governors of northern extraction have been prosecuted for corruption by the Financial Agencies especially the EFCC?

Why are the northern states hiding their resources and monies realized from them without remitting to the federal government coffers?

Why are herdsmen on a killing spree round the country without government investing and prosecuting them?

Why are monies seized from governors from the SS, SE, and SW. it returned to their respective states and not to FG coffers?

To many questions to be asked without answers, because we are second class citizen in respect to the northern hegemony!!

Shame on those who cannot see all these!! Really shame..

Thank u for being polite. But I don't want to go further in this argument because it seems we are having a misunderstanding of point of argument.

See u on another thread bro.

Kudos to Sayyu Dantata. Another feather to his cap.

With Tinubu at the wheels…
and Dangote, Adenuga, Dantata, Otedola captaining the oil economy…

And the millions of innovative, intelligent and patriotic Nigerian youths and farmers developing the non-oil sector of the economy…

I can say the future of Nigeria is bright 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

May their businesses continue to grow, amen. You, dsalvo and Magnoliaa are some of the most reasonable and intelligent people here. I know I will discover others as I explore this forum further.

The Hausa/Fulanis in particular are really trying.

SouthSouth1914:
This is a shitty and unreasonable response from you. Go back to history classes and read to understand. The military government (Northern dominated), come back to the civilian government (Northern dominated).

When are you are done with history classes and have your passmark, come back here and engage in a clear cut discussion. For now, bye!

You don't have to be aggressive because someone differs from your view. It's uncivilized.

Stop obfuscating or muddling up issue. Go straight to the point if you really know what you are saying.

Apart from looting and stacking our money into foreign banks, which one of our Northern military ruler made a significant conscious effort to make Northerners the formost captains of our industries? Because to my knowledge, Yorubas and Igbos have always been even during the so called Northern dominated military ruler.

The our own share of oil bloc, NDDC, appointments, presidency, etc., what did we make of it?

SouthSouth1914:
Most of Northern billionaires made their money from government contracts or oil and gas. They are not hardworking at all..

We've had presidents of Southern extraction. We have our people as government officials too. What have they done for our business people. Our people that are hard working, do they bother venturing into this high risk and large capital and investors consuming businesses? Let them come out and reveal to us if they were refused when they also took their proposals to these "government contractors" because they weren't Hausas.

Let's stop this attitude of downplaying the efforts of the people that are trying with conspiracy theories.

QuotaSystem:
You would wonder why Asari Dokubo, Tompolo and the remaining “awa oyel” gang didn’t invest their billions in similar ventures since the raw material is in their backyard and they’re already bunkering it….instead preferring violence, pipeline security and building universities in Benin Republic.

Those ones just know how to shout at the top of their voices. All they need is flex money to drink their rum not to create employments for their people.

Iamgrey5:
Most of those people you mentioned actually invested and built factories in Ibadan not ikeja

Don't you think the Hausa/Fulanis are taking over the industrial/economic power of Nigeria in general. Yorubas who have the power are now slacking; they abstain from taking risk of venturing into large industrial shaping economy establishments like the Hausa/Fulanis such as Dangote, Bua, Mangal, Dantata, Indimi are doing today. The future will tell.

Dsalvo:
Bruv, I don't do hearsay or unsubstantiated claims. I back up what I present so it is clear those are not my personal opinion but proven reality. If I say Obi failed woeful to tackle erosion then I will prove it.

In this case, and pertinent to the discussion, I can show how and when Tinubu innovatively created 37 LCDA's to kudos Universally, till today, because he saw what others could not due to his unflinching belief in the socio-economic gains to be had from autonomy for tiers of governance and the ethos of decentralized democracy that means resources and skills should be local to where needed and not in Abuja. See below.

Kindly give proof of anything you claim and we can inspect it because I have come to accept most critics of BAT are just ignorant and bigoted haters who want to make the crime fit the man by force. They don't mind doing this with false claims, lies and fake news.

Back what you say with credible links so we can judge issues dispassionately.

Here you have it sir. https://twitter.com/toluogunlesi/status/1593639644771618817?t=-e5KpKd894bZofS3Tn8FMQ&s=19

I know Tolu cannot pass wrong info that's why I prefer his reference.

You've always praised the Southwest leaders for demanding regional autonomy and credited Tinubu for his underground approval of such bold step.

Now, what will you say was the reason for saying no to LG autonomy in Lagos state, Tinubu's stronghold, and when APC his party is in power?

Dsalvo:
When some of us insist more autonomy and independent control for States and regions is the only way forward for Nigeria to survive and thrive, or face certain death if we continue as before, some wil be shouting Tinubu, Obi, Atiku etal up and down while insulting each other.

Nigerians must all keeu into the concept of demandinf State and regional autonomy as important and sacrosanct above everything else to include the ambition of any individual.

No president can achieve anything without a fundamental reforms to the governance structure of Nigeria.

If Akwa Ibom now gains 24/7 electricity then all fans of Obi and Atiku, because they are the traditional nomads economic migrants of Nigeria, will be quick to relocate to Akwa Ibom and overburden the State instead of fighting their own governors and leader to deliver the same proactive, focused and visionary leadership Akwa Ibom is enjoying.

I am commited to a Tinubu Presidency because I know it is Jagaban alone that has the will, sagacity, capacity and ability to restructure Nigeria but what is shown below is what I am devoted to above everything else.

It is what all Nigerians should be insisting on because it is the only way out of the corruption, misrule and 'one Nigeria' regression that will destroy Nigeria if not thrown out to be replaced with State and regional autonomy asap.

If you are so sure about the bolded, why didn't Lagos support autonomy for local government when some states houses, including states in the East, already voted for that? Can you explain the reason because sometimes, you seem to me like you are very close to Tinubu which expectedly is fueling your confidence.

sucemt:
I'm not sure this is true. Joe Biden went to Chatham on 7th November after he had won the election which held on 3rd November. So, he couldn't have gone there to campaign, but to start reassuring US allies, of which Britain is the oldest.

US Presidents don't need to go outside US to beg for clout or votes. But for Nigerian politicians, it is more like begging for Western acceptance and promise to sustain the slave-master relationship borne out of inferiority complex.

Thank for the clarification. This is my thought too.

StrongandMighty:
It's not a new a thing, even Joe Biden was at Chatham House too when he was contesting to be the president of United States..

Thanks sir.

Urchinpainer:
Candidates are selling themselves to potential foreign investors.... Skynews interviewed Peter Obi because of Chatham House... That's a boost! Big investors can influence their government to ensure that the candidate they believe will bring profit wins... America and Britain made sure Buhari won but unfortunately for them, they lost at the end. There investments here crashed.

Thanks.

Pls, I don't understand why our presidential candidates (of top parties) must go to Chatham house to speak. I know it's an international and independent institute but it doesn't really speak well in my view considering the fact that some of these candidates won't even honour an invite from a reputable platform (not the partisan ones) at home to come discuss issues.

Are there countries outside Africa that their presidential candidates visit there during there presidential campaign like we do in Nigeria?
Pls help my ignorance.

Does this not symbolizes hang over of colonialism, inferiority complex and so on?

omowolewa:
Just the Pride

Exactly what I noticed -- pride over petty things.

Zonefree:
Do you know N100 agbo will give you free pass to an average Omoluabi girl's kpekus?

I understand but don't engage him in tribalism.

ItsTutsi:
With a plate of indomie, you can sleep with 80% of Ibo girls

Pls, stop this.

Zonefree:
The ability to piss anywhere, anyhow and any time is enough reason to be proud of Nigeria.

So it's not only me that's noticed this? Most Nigerians are dirty!

I don't seem to understand when some Nigerians brag and brag and brag solely because they are Nigerians. What's there to be proud about?

Ffk talks too much for a man.

Congratulations!

Idiko1:
I guess the Op has mental issue. Igbo language is sparingly used in Nollywood since the language of choice is English. Yoruba movies were not part of Nollywood and completely irrelevant in the mix of things about Nollywood.

Compare what u typed with logic Yet you accused me of mental issues.

I hope I am not being weird? I just want to be honest, that's all. Pls, understand.

Magnoliaa:
Yeah; have a great year ahead.

Thank u.

Magnoliaa:
Happy new year .

Me is fines and pretties. I wo nko?

Nice. I am too. I had so much imagination of your look though --- beautiful smart lady. I wish u well too.

Magnoliaa:
cc; JasonScoolari

So what did you say again?

Who "birthed" Nollywood?

Happy New year.

How's u

Lol. Joker.

Magnoliaa:
Absolutely.

Even as much as I am a proud Yoruba and I'm defending the culture here, I am still honest enough about the fact that there are varying degrees of Igbophobia in the country. And I also respect the fact that Igbos are great business people.

Now I believe there are two "kinds" of Yorubas sef- The Yorubas and Tinubu supporters. Because it is so hard for me to reconcile the progressiveness of Yorubas that this thread has shown with the relic type of die-hard support urchins are giving to Baba ****** alagbado, lmao.



Lol...none at all.

Wow, thanks. This made my day. I was actually worried. I thought I overstepped since I didn't get quick reply. "She might be busy" kept me calm.

Tonytonex:
which guilty again? He killed the woman na.

Yes, but he can't be convicted without prior investigation no matter how glaring the case may seem. He has the right to fair hearing in court.
