AustineE1: Reno ended up saying nothing....it just seems Reno is speedily retrogressing mentally. Just an observation.
He is rerrogressing cos he spoke in favour of he Sultan but you categorize him with Einstein when he talks trash about Igbos.. Typical Amala mentality.
This video gave me goosebumps! These people have assimilated so much that they fluently speak the Ibeagwa accent of Igbo language!!!
The destructive and hateful brand of tribalism that has been introduced into Nigerian politics in recent years must be recognized for what it truly is—an intentional effort by modern-day politicians to divide us for their own benefit. This harmful agenda has been used to fuel division and hatred among us, but we must call it out and reject it.
We are one people. Our strength lies in our unity, and we must look beyond tribal and religious differences to build a Nigeria where everyone can thrive. If we stand together, there is no limit to what we can achieve. Let’s put aside the politics of division and embrace the diversity that makes us stronger. Only then will we truly unlock the potential of our great nation.
Yes any tribe can have their chieften y except the Fulanis.. We don't want to behold the good for notting desert rodents in our midst
Masterstroke4: Burkina Faso Unveils Its First Locally Made Electric Car
Burkina Faso has achieved a groundbreaking milestone with the launch of its first electric car, developed entirely by the Burkinabe car manufacturer ITAOUA. This innovative vehicle, created using local resources and expertise, showcases the nation’s growing industrial and technological capabilities.
With a 30 minute charging time and a range of 330 kilometers (205 miles), the car is set to transform transportation in Burkina Faso and beyond.
This achievement highlights the determination and ingenuity of Burkinabe engineers, designers, and workers. It represents a significant step towards industrial independence for a country that, like many in Africa, has long relied on imported vehicles.
ITAOUA’s electric car is a proud symbol of Burkina Faso’s ability to produce world-class technology locally.
Notably, the car’s efficiency positions it as a game-changer. Its impressive range and minimal energy consumption make it ideal for both urban and rural settings.
As the global shift toward sustainable energy continues, ITAOUA’s innovation puts Burkina Faso on the map as a leader in green technology.
The impact of this innovation extends far beyond transportation. It is expected to generate thousands of jobs in manufacturing, sales, maintenance, and renewable energy sectors.
By fostering local expertise and advancing skills in the auto industry, it will pave the way for further economic development.
Furthermore, ITAOUA’s success story serves as an inspiration for young Burkinabe entrepreneurs and innovators, proving that vision and perseverance can achieve remarkable results.
In addition to its economic benefits, the electric car underscores Burkina Faso’s commitment to sustainability. By reducing dependence on imported cars and fossil fuels, the country is not only cutting its carbon footprint but also conserving foreign exchange reserves.
As the car gains traction, it has the potential to become a valuable export, further boosting the nation’s economy.
Burkina Faso’s recent progress across sectors like agriculture, health, and education demonstrates its capacity to overcome challenges and achieve significant advancements. The introduction of ITAOUA’s electric car reinforces the country’s position as a pioneer in innovation and self-sufficiency.
This homegrown electric car is more than a technological achievement – it is a symbol of hope, progress, and the bright future of Burkina Faso. ITAOUA’s innovation inspires not only the nation but also other countries to embrace sustainability and invest in local talent.
With this success, Burkina Faso proves that with determination, vision, and unity, any challenge can be transformed into an opportunity.
That a good one, please you people should make sure you keep the Fulanis out by putting them in chains then see how progressive you country will become... Unlike one self deceiving giant that taught they are doing well with this ants infested their firewood.
Newgoodkk: In Some States They have been banned and nothing happens, Why can't this Government banned these People that Extort money from motorist / Okada, korope and Marwa , All have there own extortionist.
They Collects Money forcefully, Constituting Nuisance, Causing Transport Hike.
They dictate transport fares at parks .
What Exactly are they using this money for ?
You see Military men , Police come to take there share, Why would a Responsible and caring Government Allow these Touts to cause Unnecessary Problems to the Citizen
What is even the money they are collecting for .
Can't the Government set up an outfit that would Be in charge of Parks , The money Realised be used to maintain the Roads .
Joe Yorubakwe you guys can hang him forr we Igbos we dash him to you cos no room for traitors. A man tongue lashing his own tribe for material gain should not be trusted, so, since he has pitched his tent against Tinubu, no one should express any iota of disbelieve cos has been a snake from origin
Lack of intelligence is what has brought this to us.
Kindly keep quiet! Someone pointed facts and you are saying he's keyboard 'warrior'.
If this was Israel, you think they will just patrol on foot along the borders?
What happened to use of drones?
If the army refuse to learn like the dude pointed out, who's going to lose? Una just dey form babablu patriotism when you guys know absolutely nothing about being patriotic.
TimeManager: What measures would you take against an ambush attack?, how can you be too careful about an ambush?. This is Malam Fatori a stronghold of ISWAP, they control the region to the borders of Chad and Niger and Cameroon where they have also killed soldiers from these neighboring countries in their numbers. This region that stretches along the lake Chad are extremely porous and the MJTF can only patrol to a certain few kilometers along the borders to avoid unnecessary casualties. You enjoy sitting down behind your keyboard to run your mouth as an arm chair security expert.
-Kiss the truth!
Mr Military expert and Mr fake patriot, as a military strategist, if an area is designated highly dangerous and tagged a enemy strong hold over the years that you claim you have technically defeated the enemy and yet they still roam free, how many times will you get Ambushed, attacked and lose your base with the hardware in it before you re strategies?
If the area is sim dangerous why will you be sending men in without proper intel report, good recon and calculated area mapping before an advance? If they have held that area for years so how did you buld a base there as you are too in a hurry to defend blindly to read where the report says they were attacked in their base and not an ambush.
All of you fake patriots of this country are the worst enemy to Nigeria than the terrorist Fulanis, Iswap and Lakurawa put together cos am twisting the fact and hailing the leaders and the political institution when they are wrong just to appear good is the single greatest killer of Nigeria as the bad leaders will have no fear for the consequences of their actions or in actions when the likes of ass lickers like you are not in short supply.
So. Why are the Ijaws claiming the entire coastline in the entire southern Nigeria. The map clearly shows that Ondo is Yorubas and the Igbos have some costal territory or am I missing something here
iwaeda: Thousands of people displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency are currently taking refuge in the town.
Boko Haram terrorists have killed over 20 Nigerian Army personnel, with many still missing following an attack on a military base in Borno State.
SaharaReporters gathered that for several hours on Friday, January 24, 2025, the terrorists attacked the 149 Battalion in Malam-Fatori, the headquarters of Abadam Local Government Area of Borno State.
Malam-Fatori is a border town between Nigeria and Niger Republic.
Thousands of people displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency are currently taking refuge in the town.
Sources confirmed to SaharaReporters that the insurgents attacked the base with multiple gun trucks.
The sources added that the terrorists razed many buildings and military operational vehicles during the attack.
Apart from the dead bodies recovered, many other soldiers were seriously injured while a yet-to-be ascertained number of personnel were still missing as of Saturday.
The commanding officer of the battalion, two senior officers including the base medical director were among those killed.
This comes a few days after the terror group launched a brutal attack on the military's Forward Operating Base in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State, killing a yet-to-be confirmed number of soldiers, with many believed to still be missing.
“25 Taskforce Bde was attacked during the weekend with so many casualties, so far we have recovered over seven bodies,” a source had told SaharaReporters.
“The terror group invaded the camp FOB Sabon Gari around 4am on Saturday, using various weapons.”
ISWAP subsequently claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement.
Also attached to the statement were pictures of members shooting sporadically towards the military facility.
Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.
The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters under Shekau.
The Nigerian Army has repeatedly claimed that insurgency had been largely defeated and frequently underplays any losses.
The terror group has caused over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions of people mainly in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
Mallam Fatori again? One thing I hate most about this country is that we ñever learn.. The government don't learn, citizens forget easily, country saturated with mediocres and love deceiving themselves alot. Aa country filler with fake patriots who prroffes love forr the country only when it suits and favour them, a country where people hate the truth, embrace lies and decite only to turn around latter and cry when reality dawn's on them. The same Mallam Fatori is the single area where the Army has recorded the highest casualties in this self inflicted war and yet, the Army has not learnt or mastered the art of ensuring the right measures is taken to avert a repeat of this event.. What a useless country.
Dogalmighty17: So now tribal bastards in support of a failed president are carrying vat matter on thier head? So what should the south-south whose oil has sustained this country for decades do?
The vat matter is simple. Every company should pay vat to each state according to the volume of sales it makes per state. Why should lagos state claim to have generated majority of vat when most of the companies in lagos make more sales outside Lagos? If sales aren't made where does the incidence of vat fall?
If companies pay vat to each state according to the sales made within the state, governor's will sit up and be pushed to create an investment worthy climate within thier states.
All this articles claiming the south west generates the most vat contributions are rubbish. They do not have the population that supports that. They do not have the population that can consume the volume of goods that will keep the vat paying companies in business. So what's with all this bullshit?
I don't blame the tribal bastards. It is the lazy northern governors who can't get thier act right that has given smelly mouthed dogs the room to talk.
Don't mind the OP and his co Ronu Amala munching reterds. This is the resultant effect of consuming Amaal, cos Amala has an enzymes that deplet human reasoning and the study is proved right here on nairaland
And you are sacrificing countless life's of Soldiers and police men just to keep the parasites in your country. You sacrificed 250,000 thousand Soldiers just to prevent the parasite from living, is that not the height of idiocy and stupidity?
[quote author=Bobloco post=133832551]https://dailypost.ng/2025/01/22/transfer-my-case-to-southeast-nnamdi-kanu-to-chief-judge/[/quot The reactions I have seen here Soo far has shown that Nigerians are united for the hate of the Igbos, Nigerians never speak the truth and that's why mercy will always depart from this country and God will continue to look the other way. As long as Nigeria hates the Igbos and refused to let them go their way, good life will continue to ellude her citizens as God will continue to plague her with bad leaders just as he plagued Egyptians of old as they held the Hebrews.
You can insult me I don't care that is the truth and that you have been seeing and will continue to see
Tsarbomba: Let's assume a hypothetical scenario where Egypt and Nigeria engage in a war. Considering their military strengths, economies, and geographical advantages, who do you think would emerge victorious?
Share your thoughts!
Hmm I just dey laugh all this naira land secondary school kids.. so na Egypt you wan do shkara with pk oo make sure you join the Army to find out
Bandirao: Why there is too much hate against Fulani?
Did you people forget about the service and sacrifice that our grandparents took all because of the people of Nigeria?
Our great grandfathers sacrificed their blood to build the sokoto caliphate the most developed state in sub Saharan Africa ever and build the future foundation of northern nigerian society, don't forget that Sir Ahmadu Bello Sardauna is among the Nigerian nationalists that fought for Nigeria freedom from British colonisers, And again don't forget that we produce many of. the Nigerian leaders and head of states.
Don't forget that when our ancestors firsts began settling in territory that become Nigeria in the 1300s especially in Hausa land it is an uncultured country, outside the borno empire, the Hausa where still unlettered people at this time and nominal Muslims especially in urban centers, in the rural areas Hausa land is nothing but a a group of idol worshipping pagan farmers with no contacts with the outside world, our grandparents taught them grammar and theology they exposed them to the outside world and they become partly part of the Muslim world and Islamic civilisation.
Don't forget our grandparents led revolution in hausaland that was known as the jihad which revolutionarised the northern nigerian society by creating emirates govern by emirs under the leadership of the sultan of sokoto, the Fulani emirs build new schools, market, public institutions like sharia law, effective tasks systems, and regulations concerning hygiene and education in Hausaland which even the Europeans who travelled at the area where surprised at how developed the caliphate was, even the British are astonished at how civilised the caliphate was which they never expect to see in sub Saharan Africa this greatly changed the British perception of savage Africa the British even see it foolish to destroy the whole well established system of government in caliphate and replaced them with theirs which is the birth of indirect rule in Nigeria.
Also don't forget that when the jihad expand outside hausaland in to the central Nigeria area which is at this time populated by barbaric Mountain dwelling naked tribesmen which till that time only serve as a slave breeding grown for Hausa, kanuri, and jukun monarch our grandparents gave them Islam and civilisation some convert but some still retreat in to in accessible mountains like Jos plateau which they continue there barbaric life until the missionaries found them and Christianised them, this is the area of present Gombe, Adamawa, bauchi, taraba Nasarawa, etc, even yoruba benefitted greatly from us there population is now 50 % Muslim all thanks to the work of Dan fodio (rta)
But while despite all this our contribution to Nigeria and our impact on Nigerian society you can still see some one whom his ancestors did nothing in laying the foundations of this country come and say that Fulani are not Nigerians bla bla bla, who deserve to be Nigerian more than the Fulani? Fulani are more Nigerian than any other ethnic group in Nigeria prove me wrong if you can.
Luggard you have seen what you caused.. May you rot in hell
Edygrin: The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has tasked men and officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces to ensure that innocent citizens are protected and not to be killed or harmed under any guise.
Queengee: When I was young, I used to be very scared of hell especially when in church and the preacher narrated the horrors of hell, but now things have changed.
I don't know maybe because eyes has seen many things in three decades of my existence, really don't get scared of hell fire anymore.
Anytime someone or pastors talk about it, it sounds like every other takes to me, I think something is wrong with me, does anyone here now feel the same way?
Men of God in the house please how can I go back to my former self and start believing hell is real?
The reason is simple... As a Nigerian, your soul is already perfecting his adaptation process as Nigeria is a perfect ground on earth to stimulate the conditions of Hell.. So rejoice my brother
OduduwaNow: Stop being dumb why should Igbo call Ijaw minority. Why haven't Igbo use their false population figure and become President..

Ohibaba: Nigeria’s Power Index (PwrIndx) score for 2024 was 0.5619, with a score of 0.0000 representing the pinnacle of military strength.
The Global Firepower (GFP) ranked Nigeria’s defence capabilities and resource allocation to 39 position among 145 countries in the 2024 Global Firepower (GFP) review.

In the GFP review, On the African continent, Nigeria’s military also slipped from third to fourth place behind South Africa, Algeria and Egypt.
This is despite Nigeria’s recent acquisition of advanced fighter jets and military assets, as well as reported progress in combating terrorism within its borders.
The Global FirePower ranking utilizes 60 individual factors to determine a given nation’s power index score with categories ranging from quality of military units and financial standing to logistical capabilities and geography.

Change they say is the only constant thing in nature but it is a phenomena that is usually met with resistance no matter how good or sound they sound and appear It is usually made worst when the group benefitting from the status quo at the detriment of others to accept such a new order as they tend to deploy every resources available at their disposal to shot down such change if it arises.
Coming from the class of the Nigerian society that didn't vote or support Tinubus emergence but will not join the band wagon of those that crictisize him blindly even when it is obvious that, most of the things he has embarked on are necessary to keep the country afloat and it will only boils down to be one gravitating down to an abject state of stupidity if one thinks their is any miracle else where to salvage the Nigerian situation without the necessary reforms which the president has embarked on.
In the late 1940s, Chairman Mao of Chinas great reset programm cost the Chinese more than 40 million life's in other to reposition the country back to track them, it was crictisied world over but today, every country wants to be like China and are not willing to make the sacrifice they did to get to were they are today. The Tinubus economic and Tax reform system is been welcomed with wide rejection from the north despite the provisions of the laws are clearly showing the prospect it holds for the nation as an avenue that will kick start some rapid economic transition in every state as states will be forced to look inwards and become creative as well as more funds going to the sub nationals for various developmental activities. Today, we can all testify that the petroleum sector is gradually bouncing back and as the competition in the sector will determine the the pace at which the price reduction process can materialize as funds will be channeled properly to other meaningful ventures than paying for subsides that is ladden with corruption.
THE NORTH The North in their usual manner has rejected this tax reform bill based on their own interest that does not reflect the collective interest of the nation but theirs alone. From the argument of the North, it is crystal clear that the north is playing politics as they are the sole beneficiaries of the lopsided nature of the Nigerian federation at the expense of the others and they are not ready to let go so long as the system is skewed in their favour. The arrogance and the hegemonic tendencies of the north is pointing to one fact that the north is clearly telling us to our face that the country Nigeria belongs to them and such what they say will stand and what they don't want will not. We all know that this tax reform bill is something that will affect positively the lifes of an average northern citizen and not the elite class who will no longer see free money to squander or support their bogus life styles but will now be forced to work hard as their citizens will start questioning them.
THE REST OF US It is now left for all of us to stand behind the president on this cos if Tinubu fail, we all fail. It's high time we stand up to the north and tell them that they are not the sole owners of Nigeria and as such matters if collective importance must be implemented in the country and they shall not be the once to be dragging us backward as they have been doing for donkey years It's hight time, the people of the South west, South East, South South, and the middle belt to raise up and support the President on this, if the north is trying to blackmail the President with a re election bid then we should all stand up and say big No to that by giving him our assurances and support cos if the north success in bullying Tinubu today, they will do that to the Igbos and the southern tribes or Middle belt in the future. Let's learn to separate politics from reality of our collective future as a people cos we all know in the bottom of the bottom of our hearts that this is the only way to go. GOD BLESS YOU.
Basic123: Ms Ojynika Ojy Ope has not stopped to be tribalistic and partisan sha.
She only treats what is trending in her own fish head not on social media.she liked it when the name Tinubu or Igbo victimhood appears on her YouTube thumbnail
Just like Ruben Abati will never stop being a tribalistic bigot.. Typical of his Yoruba lifestyle.. Will never fail to disappoint people when Igbo matters are being raised or in promoting the Yoruba stock in trade which is falsehood
