Like the oba that threatened non-Yorubas for exercising their democratic rights?

Or the likes of those that called a Lagos citizen unfit because his mom is not from Lagos state?

Or the Yorubas obas and leaders that based on tribal affiliation insulted and attacked a sitting president and now that things are actually worse, decided to keep mute because of tribal politics?

How many Yorubas or other ethnic group goes to ibo land to attempt to take over ibo land. I m sure you will like it if that should happen. Why are ibos even a people of concern globally. Maybe you should do some retrospection

Ironsi promoted northern officers as head of state

tulumbu promoted only yoruba in all parastatals and military.

but your brain says its ironsi that is a bigot?......there is a fundamental problem with your thought process.

I can say same of you. You are so consume with bitterness, hate and jealousy that you refuse to see the lager picture. Here you tried to paint ironsi as a hero when he is actually nothing close to that. I repeat again ironsi and azikiwe started the free fall we are all seeing the consequences now. Kapish☹️

WhiteIverson:
Did you watch a different video?

Nigerians fight over everything. I once witnessed where two guys were fighting and dragging over a plastic chair. The funny thing was that, there were 2 plastic chairs joined together which means if they were calm, they could take one each. But they were too preoccupied trying to prove their strength to each other.

Meanwhile the background music in the video reminds me of the movie "Coming to America".

It looks like it🤣🤣🤣🤣

And Obi wants to get Northeners votes ?


We already know that their alliance is base on fragile foundation.

They will scatter after the primary election

That's for sure.

THE BRUTAL FINAL HOURS OF GENERAL AGUIYI-IRONSI: BEATEN, DRAGGED & EXECUTED BY HIS OWN SOLDIERS

July 29, 1966. Ibadan, Western Region.
Nigeria’s first military Head of State — the decorated war hero who stopped the January 1966 coup and took power to “save the nation” — spent his last night as a guest at Government House.
He had ruled for just 194 days.
What happened in those final hours remains one of the most brutal and painful episodes in Nigerian history.

THE VERIFIED LAST HOURS (EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS INCLUDED)
On the evening of July 28, 1966, Major-General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi was in Ibadan on a nationwide tour to calm ethnic tensions. He stayed overnight as the guest of Lt. Col. Adekunle Fajuyi, the Military Governor of the Western Region and a loyal ally.

Fajuyi had already warned Ironsi of growing unrest and possible mutiny among Northern officers.
In the early hours of July 29, rebel Northern soldiers — led by Major Theophilus Danjuma (with involvement from officers like Murtala Mohammed in the wider coup) — surrounded Government House.
• Ironsi, Fajuyi, and Ironsi’s Air Force ADC Captain Andrew Nwankwo were arrested.
• The soldiers stripped them of their epaulettes and rank insignia.
• Both Ironsi and Fajuyi were brutally beaten and interrogated about the January 1966 coup (which Ironsi had no involvement in and had actually crushed).
• Fajuyi was reportedly offered a chance to step aside and save himself but refused, choosing solidarity with Ironsi.

They were bound (hands and feet with telephone cable or rope), thrown into a Land Rover, and driven to a quiet forest spot near Lalupon (off Iwo Road, outskirts of Ibadan).

Eyewitness account from Captain Andrew Nwankwo (Ironsi’s ADC, one of the few direct survivors):
He was taken with them, witnessed the beatings and torture, and later escaped into the bush and a nearby river while the soldiers dug their graves. Nwankwo’s testimony (corroborated by another ADC, Lt. Sani Bello, a Northern officer who helped create the distraction for his escape) describes Ironsi standing tall and dignified even under brutal beating. Fajuyi was already badly injured. Both men were eventually riddled with machine-gun fire. Their bodies were dumped in a shallow, unmarked grave.
Ironsi desperately tried to reach his Army Chief of Staff, Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, by phone but could not get through.
He was only 42 years old.

THINGS MANY DON’T KNOW (VERIFIED HIDDEN FACTS)
• Was Ironsi always going to be a soldier?�No. Born March 3, 1924, in Ibeku, Umuahia (Igbo Catholic family), he lived with his sister Anyamma after age 8. She strongly opposed him joining the army. At 18, against her wishes, he enlisted as a private in the 7th Battalion of the Nigeria Regiment on February 2, 1942. He rose from private to company sergeant-major by 1946, then trained as an officer in the UK. He took “Johnson” as his first name in admiration of his brother-in-law, Theophilus Johnson.
• Ironsi was a highly decorated international peacekeeper who served with distinction in the Congo crisis (earning MVO and MBE).
• He survived the January 1966 coup because the assassins missed him at home.
• To placate the North, he had promoted several Northern officers — some of whom later turned against him.
• His body (and Fajuyi’s) was exhumed weeks later, temporarily reburied in Ibadan, and given a full state funeral with military honours in Umuahia on January 27, 1967 — his third burial.

THE UNSETTLING TRUTH
Nigeria’s first military leader — a man who rose through the ranks with honour and tried to hold the country together — was tortured, humiliated, and murdered by the very soldiers he commanded.
His death (and the wider July counter-coup) triggered the chain of ethnic massacres and events that led directly to the Nigerian Civil War.
What an irony of fate — the general who stopped one coup was destroyed by another, accelerating the nation’s slide into division.

DROP YOUR VERDICT BELOW, FAM:
• Was Fajuyi a true hero for refusing to abandon Ironsi?
• Did Ironsi make fatal mistakes, or was he simply a victim of revenge?
• How different would Nigeria be today if he had survived July 29, 1966?
Let’s talk real, painful history with respect

He deserved worse sef. As in he unilaterally destroyed Nigeria with ethnic bigotry☹️

Sleek? All of them are sleek! I promise you they all have immense resources at their disposal to get whatever they want if they really do. It's left for the serious ones to do due diligence before the candidates are approved for voting by inec. Inec also have a role here. Although we all know inec is not that reliable in matters like this ( the Nigeria syndrome)😜

Why would any sane person present a forged document if he was really honest in the first place ?

If they do, they should be tried before election. There is a whole six months before election is conducted. If they can prove their allegations they should go to court before the election, not heating up the polity after the election is concluded.

Racoon:
The current NASS in the current Nigeria’s electoral law, removed or excluded certificate forgery as a specific ground for challenging an election petition under the Electoral Act 2026 (as amended). This is directly legalizing certificate forgery and its justified continued inclusion in our electioneering processes.

It didn't, you are only being mischievous. It only says its no longer going to be election litigation matters after election has been concluded. Simple

happney65:
They all know that Buhari will get the ticket. They are just gang of haters of Jonathan,not like they like Buhari.

No wonder they started saying Buhari destroyed the economy after they used him in 2015.

Bunch of Jonathan haters..

What's this one saying? As soon as you join the mob it becomes difficult to talk rationally 🤣

If Atiku is saying the only qualification he has to become president is that he's from North. Well and good. That means on the election day, the North should vote for him, and the South shouldn't.

In a stunning political shift, prominent Northern elders have called on the entire North to throw its weight behind a South East presidency in 2027, accusing President Bola Tinubu of betraying the region that helped deliver his victory.

At a fiery press briefing in Kaduna on Wednesday, the elders declared that Tinubu has abandoned the federal character principle and converted the government into what they called a “Yoruba government,” stacking key appointments, agencies, and economic control in the hands of his kinsmen while the North is left with scraps.

“We voted for competence, not clannishness,” the forum’s chairman thundered. “We voted for Nigeria, not for one ethnic group to eat alone. Tinubu has forgotten the ladder he used to climb.”

The elders cited lopsided appointments in finance, oil, customs, and the military, arguing that the North’s sacrifices during the 2023 elections have been repaid with exclusion and disrespect. “Federal character is dead under this administration,” one elder said. “What we have is federal favouritism.”

Their resolution was blunt: the North must not repeat its mistake. Instead of backing another cycle of betrayal, they urged governors, emirs, and voters to enter 2027 with one agenda — justice for the South East.

“The Igbo have been denied for too long. The North will not be used again to deny them. If Tinubu can forget the North after one year, he has already forgotten Nigeria,” the communiqué read.

The call marks the first coordinated move by Northern elders to endorse an Igbo presidency and rebuke a sitting president from the South. Analysts say it signals deep cracks in the 2023 alliance and sets the stage for a realignment where betrayal becomes the ballot issue.

Tinubu’s camp has yet to respond. But on the streets of Kano, Katsina, and Maiduguri, the message from the elders is already echoing: the North remembers who ate alone.

Story

mubalak37:
Concerns over alleged religious discrimination have emerged in Ibadan as candidates sitting for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) were reportedly forced to remove their hijabs before entering an exam centre.

The incident allegedly occurred on April 16, 2026, at Esther Oshikoya CBT Centre along Sango–Eleyele Road, Arometa. Videos circulating online appear to show a candidate being instructed to remove her hijab before being granted access, sparking widespread reactions across social media.

A user on X, identified as @AlfaShehu01, raised concerns, describing the situation as a violation of candidates' rights. He called for urgent intervention from authorities, the Muslim community, and human rights organizations.

— Star Potter (@Starpotternews) April 16, 2026

According to his claims, the centre is officially accredited, yet candidates wearing hijabs were allegedly compelled to remove them before sitting for the exam—an act he described as contrary to constitutional religious freedoms and existing examination guidelines.

The UTME, conducted nationwide by Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, is scheduled to run from April 16 to April 25, 2026, with over 2.2 million candidates participating.

As of now, there has been no official response from the examination body or the centre's management regarding the allegations.

people never learn anything. These islamist terrorists are unrepentant. Reintegrating them after killing innocent people, husband, brothers, wives, sisters, children, infants that has done them no harm is the height of wickedness and evil by any one in authority. This is sheer heartlessness. Haba!

Dtruthspeaker:
When you see Muslim hatred for Christians and Jesus Christ displayed this way, one wonders why/what is really going on.

For many people even think that islam and Christianity are the same and one but looking at the aggression and hatred islam has for Christianity, it is clear that islam hates Christianity and the hatred is deep sitteth and one full of murder full rage.

Exactly like the one the Pharisees had for Jesus and His followers. Exactly how satan hates God's things and always seeks to destroy them.

Thus, when we see things like these.
