It's either you didn't understand what you quoted or you are just being emotional, not logical. Nobody was encouraging lazy.

Government officials are elected to uphold the law; Obasanjo did what the law stipulated. Now that the law isn't working, the new government amended the law. It's as easy as ABC

Obasanjo lack foresight, he should have amended the law to allow state generate electricity and distribute. It would have been healthy competition among governors then and that would have been the best. If twenty states have generated 500 mega watt of electricity, that would have amount to 10000 MW as at that time plus the already generated one. The country would have been more industrialize by now.

nedu666:
The same Anambra people that gave him 99% of their vote. Joke is on you

They had no option since he is the only Igbo candidate on ballot and the desperation to president at all cost. If akin or pawpaw contest in 2027 as the only south east candidate, you people will still give organic vote to any of them. Nothing special about Obi getting those votes in igboland. Those who rain causes on him as governor like that hypocrite chisom on Twitter who rain causes on Obi but still went ahead to support him for president.

Jorussia:
I just went through your ridiculous previous thread.Let me speak of Edo State which is where i am from.Every food that comes from the north can be grown here in Edo State.Tomstoes,Potatoes, Watermelon, Cucumber, Beans, Rice,Yams etc can be grown here in Edo State.I know for a fact that we have home grown cattles in orhionmwon LGA that is bigger than your malnutriched cattles from the north.Na only onion I can't confirm if it can be grown here.Yes the north offers nothing to Nigeria as a country.Boys for Niger Delta cause wahala for the for some time,but everybody enter house for the sake of the country.But una own since 2008 boko haram bandits,killer herdsmen,una nor want rest.

I remember even 20years ago for my house here for Benin city,nor be village o, we dey plant beans for our compound and the beans grow well.even hausa ground nut full everywhere.Groundnut dey Edo North,Rice nor be problem for Edo State,the state govt just need to partner private sector for Rice mill.Common Tax reform Aboki dey make noise everywhere,what if the govt come say make we do birth control and 60% resource derivation wetin una go come do? Una go burn down the country?

You don't get what the OP is saying., yes those things you mentioned do grow but what quantity. I am Edo too, we still depends largely from the north. Like we in Edo north, we hardly buy Northern yam cause we cultivate them in large quantities but it is not so in Benin land because of land sales and wahala. All those stuff you mentioned are grow in small scale outside yam in Edo state. Go to aduwawa and see that everyday, trailers enter Benin from the north and bring those you mentioned in large quantities. South depends on the north for food crops at ninety percent. Our governors has failed to properly develop agriculture.

INTEGRITYA1:
When we think Fabura has won the game, another challenge emerged.

Another challenge ooooo, another challenge ooooo another challenge ooooo double double challenge ooooo.

Wike is not backing down yet, meanwhile Ayodele Fayose the former Governor of Ekiti State has warned Fabura ahead.

Wike don't get tired of fighting.

They have ran away, I don't support Wike, Odili family clear the road for his pocketing of many judges. When it comes to court, only Tinubu or core loyalist of Tinubu, like is chief of staff can subdue him.

ganilas007:
Outside world is so cold Especially that UK. Sad thing is that after 20yrs most of them can’t even afford a good house in Nigeria. They will have to save everything to visit Nigeria for 2 weeks and normally business man for naija dey enter western country like 3 times a year normally,

Make God bless everyone hustler’s.

You people are just capping nonsense, dear nairalanders, pls if you are not yet financially stable, pls travel out if you can afford cos you will be far better. Don't listen to people. My friend who went to Canada and upon entry he declared through asylum in December 2023, he has paid his senior sister loan she obtained for him, eight million with interest and he will send a Rav 4 SUV for her to celebrate Easter. Exchange rate is the game changer for now, so move oh. Don't listen to anybody.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/01/nigerians-flock-uk-as-prison-officers-sleep-in-their-cars-to-cut-accommodation-cost/

What is the OP saying, are there no prison officers in Nigeria. What the UK base Nigeria prison officers make a month after tax and bills, is almost an annual salary of prison officers in Nigeria.

Bliss4Lyfe:
I can only laugh at them.

When it was time for Presidency (Igbo President)Amaechi can be Igbo and all of them are quiet.

Ohanaeze they want the sky to fall.

Well if the sky fall it will be on their head.


I foresee Ogbakor Ikwerre losing al their members and Ohanaeze taking over Rivers State completely.

The people behind Mbata from Ikwerre are much and highly placed and if time is not taken, those in charge of Ogbakor Ikwerre will pay dearly.


Let them keep running their stinking mouth, Mbata supporters in and outside Rivers state are in the majority.

Same Ameachi you gorillas called all manners of name and even supported Wike for fighting him. Hypocrites.

Goodvibes007:
So that Ikwerre people worldwide will know Mbata is on his own.

Imagine how bad it is for Mbata. So bad that the biggest Ikwerre cuktural organization, which is even older than Ohaneaze Ndigbo, disassociated itself from Mbata's action.

Mbata is surely after his tummy.





The paramount rulers in Ikwerre Land are united in what is known as Ogbakor Ikwerre, which was formed in 1963 as an umbrella socio-cultural organization of the Ikwerre tribe.

Ohaeneze Ndigbo was founded in 1976.

Ogbakor Ikwerre >>> Ohaemeze Ndigbo.

Thumps up, igbo nairalanders can't provide fact but insult. That is the reason I don't take them serious. You have prove that ogbakor ikwerre is even older than ohaneze ndigbo. You have successfully argued with fact and this is so strange to igbos.

Gerhards:
They are nothing but paid miscreants, hate filled ideots Afon-jarians can cry me a river and nothing will stop the Igbos from uniting with their brothers in south south, if you can't bear the pains then make use of Otapiapia

So it means, igbos can really be bought. Na wah oh.

DMerciful:
He was acquitted at the court of appeal.

Is court of appeal higher than supreme Court. Nmandi kanu has murdered sleep, him too will not sleep. Una no get shame, same Tinubu and family he wanted to kill during endsars and he did live video of attacking him. No Igbo condemned him but not as fate has it, Tinubu is now the president and foolish people want him be released by same man he wanted to kill. He might even been in prison till 2031.

OredoPikin:
"Those that said Tony Elumelu is not Igbo because he’s from Delta state are now calling Nzeogwu an Igbo man even when both are from the same place 😂"

"This country is comedy 🎭 central 😂"

The same people will say igbo is a landlocked 5 plot of lands but yet Nzeogwu from delta is igbo.
This can only be madness aswear.
Why the so much agenda for everyone to hate the igbos for no reason

What of those of you, who claimed okonjo iweala to be Igbo but she is from delta.

Ojiofor:
He did business with government of Akwa Ibom state.So the people should take their protest to the governor.

Let him go and start building and after it reach advance stage, like the eket people said, they will bring it down. He is joking with fire. No peace for a fraudulent man. Thank God, you people knows south south very were, they act what they said. He must go and pay to the eket people for leasing. He went to partner the government so that they will be sharing profit. When you embark on a business in another man land, you first of all, approach the community with the said land before meeting with the necessary government. This is an act of criminality.

Ojiofor:
Where was it mentioned he scammed anybody?
The man have left Lagos and now investing in Eastern region from PH to Ibeno to Nike lake in Enugu where he just signed 35 years lease with Enugu sstate government..Pity yourself abeg.

PH is no longer part of eastern region. Attached by force people. We south south will never join you people.

Ojiofor:
Yo

Why attack the businessman when the problem is between two groups claiming ownership of the land?
I am sure he does not ask for your pity.Please pity yourself that is struggling to buy a cup of rice.

You think everybody is as poor like you. Landmark owner is a fraudstar and he will continue to encounter problems. The guy state the obvious fact. All shoreline belongs to the federal government. Your claim is that it between two other group, why did the eket people said, they will allow him to build at a certain level, before destruction.

jubrilELsudan:
PDP BOYZ FOR EDO FALL OUR HAND SHA CAUSE BY NOW DEM SUPPOSE DON BURN DOWN THE WHOLE SECTARIAT

They will all rot in jail. Apc is controlling the state and federal and you want them to burn the Apc party Secretariat. You think we don't reason unlike you people.

CommonSense1967:
But some black men probably including you are wailing and crying that a complete failure like Pandora pathological liar Obi should be president. Your first and last names must be hypocrisy—blind hypocrite.

leave all this igbos, they don't have shame. They hate Apc and one of their brother was crying on national tv for the party to zone the presidential ticket to south east. Hypocrites.

Melagros:
COMRADES, I wish the judiciary will be fearless and deliver a fair judgement on this Edo election tribunal, PDP will win the case and reclaim her stolen party secretariat from APC. Because APC only know how to kill, steal and destroy

Sometimes you people talk like fools. Apc was the original occupant of the building and when Obaseki decamped to Pdp, he should have leave it for Apc but forcefully took it for pdp his new party. Apc is so right to take it over cos they paid for seven years about four years ago. Okpeboho is here to stay and he will still win all the tribunal cases to supreme if pdp approach them.

Anselemchi:
It was a mixture of victory and defeat for the incarcerated Ezendigbo of Ajao Estate, Eze Fred Nwajagu, over the charges of terrorism and parading self as class Chief in Lagos State
. P.M.EXPRESS reports that the Lagos State High Court sitting on Lagos Island has discharged Eze Nwajagu from terrorism charges because the prosecution was unable to prove the charges against him. However, he was found guilty of parading self as class Chief in Lagos State and consequently sentenced to one year imprisonment without an option of fine. But he was discharged by the Court because he had stayed for over two years for the alleged offence while the trial lasted
The Presiding Judge,  Justice J Adesanya, discharged Nwajagu after the Lagos State Government through the DPP abysmally failed to prove any of the ingredients of the offence of terrorism charges against him.Consequently,  Justice Adesanya discharged and acquitted him of all the counts of the terrorism related offences.
However, he was convicted and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment for the offence of parading himself as a certified Chief in Lagos State contrary to the Oba and Chiefs Law of Lagos State.
Eze Fred Nwajagu, Ezendigbo Ajao Estate, Lagos State was thrown into detention by Lagos State Government for terrorism and other offences for allegedly making a video warning Oluomo and other Yoruba Youths to cease persecution of Ndigbo and burning of Igbo dominated markets in Lagos State, or else he would be compelled to invite IPOB to secure Igbo markets and assets in Lagos State.
He was arrested and charged before the Court and he pleaded not guilty hence the trial commenced and ended on 15th January, 2025 after the judgement One of the Defence Counsels to Eze Nwajagu,  Barrister Fabian Onwughalu, described the judgment as painful, but was a victory for Ndigbo all over the world especially in Lagos State who are being persecuted and dehumanized just because of their tribal leaning.“We shall strive to set aside the conviction on parading himself as a Chief in Lagos State on appeal as the prosecution did not prove the offence to warrant the conviction.”
“Moreover, the Ezendigbo institution is not recognised by the law of Lagos State, and so has nothing to do with the Oba and Chiefs Law. Also the conviction offends the fundamental rights of freedom of association of Ndigbo in Lagos State.”“I am happy to be among the Counsels in the defence team, who diligently offered their services pro bono.” he stated.

They don't finally free him, let him go and sin no more. Adult behaving childish. After God na government.

PresidObi:
Good

They cannot continue to rely on the federal security agencies who are more compromised than the criminals they are chasing.

Let these people be controlled by the government and the local people, gather intelligence and use same to tackle criminals, not rely on the jaundiced and biased reports of the corrupt police and other security forces of FG who are under a corrupt government.

All the south east governors should have copy the template of their colleagues south west template in forming Ametekun.

Wealthoptulent:
U get mind put SITTING GOVERNOR for 5 HOUR SITTING ROOM

He was too power drunk and when Sanwo olu came to the chambers, the goat couldn't tender apologies. From that day, I know his days were numbered as speaker. He dunn buy market.

OredoPikin:
Tinubu assembled people like him
Tinubu and his gangs of thieves have truly damaged every single respect that the Yoruba as a tribe have
They exposed everything about the tribe.

Tinubu - convicted certificate forger plus drug dealer
Dapo abiodu - convicted fraudster
Sanwo olu - yabaleft mental patient
Obasa - fake lawyer 😂
Etc

Only one tribe with people with questionable characters as their leaders🤦‍♂️
Yoruba is the least educated, most illiterate people
Because how can all these be possible at the same time🤦‍♂️

Tinubu was proved right to graduate as an accountant. Stop this childish talk. Atiku and Reno all went all the way to America and got disappointed. We understand the election loss of your brother is still a shock but don't kill yourself for no reason. Tinubu is here to stay. I only pray for better governance from him. No gang up by Obi and Atiku will deny him re election. His a political juggernaut and master strategist. He go beat them again.

"Impeached Lagos Speaker Obasa’s Legal Credentials Questioned, Supreme Court Reveals No Record of His Enrollment."

https://www.arise.tv/impeached-lagos-speaker-obasas-legal-credentials-questioned-supreme-court-reveals-no-record-of-his-enrollment/

This is what greed and over ambition lead too. He will now be sacked as a lawmaker. Don't outshine your masters. Since Seyi was rumored to be position has the next Lagos governor, smart politician who has interest, keep it to their chest and watch has event unfold before public indication. Obasa was faster than his shadow and he will be badly damaged beyond expectations. Fear politicians. Just because he want to contest, he was disrespecting a sitting governor and boasting of been better than previous one and he forget the head of mafia unit in Lagos, was once a governor and now the president.

Af0nja2:
This noticeme guy? The same guy that was busy deleting his past articles when the former Senate President appointed him as Spokesperson? Forget him...

we will not forget him cos if Thisday and Arise tv was owned by a Yoruba and gave the man of year award to Tinubu, you and your likes will have descended on them. You people can't talk again. I am not surprised cos hypocrism is so high in aliagbo. Rufai can't talk anymore, it shows is not man of his self. He can't condemned because of sack and he knows that no tv station will employ him. He would have been in the news if it were other organizations that gave that award to Tinubu. I so much like how they have been exposed and shamed. Mugu people

Richtaiwo:
He should reject the award?

When Peter Obi was awarded 3rd class in philosophy, did he reject it?

Hahahahaha, this is the best comment so far in this year 2025. You are on point.

Richtaiwo:
Wike keeps soaring higher and higher while pandora gringory obituary's home town keeps reporting fire incidents.

Which god have ipob miscreants been praying to for the downfall of Wike? That is how they prayed for Buhari to die and in the end they claimed Buhari died and replaced by Sudanese jubrin just to prove the god answered their prayers.

Such is the irony of this life. There is no calamity hate cannot cause.

Igbo Obidients will not attack Arise tv and Thisday newspaper, since it is owned by their kinsman. Foolish hypocrites.

https://newsday.com.ng/wike-named-thisday-arise-tv-minister-of-year-2024/

Aftermath of his failed attack through his media outfit (Arise) against Otedola, firstly he gave president Tinubu the man of the year but his calculation to support is debt problem with a renowned and dodged business colossal failed, he now want to seek Wike's help who his media outfit has lambasted since 2022. All this moves, prove he was actually at default. Obiagbena must learn in hard way, according to Verydarkman. Where is that foolish Rufai, the mannerless and uncourteous and ill trained journalist. He should be bold enough to defend his boss. Though we don't brag to have a lot of money in first bank but our sweat should be guided and the evergreen philanthropist Sir Otedolla is fighting on behalf of we the common customers. Nduka remains a rogue. Until first bank recovers every dime he owns, I support the sales of his businesses. He thinks he is smart by giving award to those who he uses is media outfit to insult. Those that live in glass houses, should not throw a stone. He is a classical example. This attitude is too common among his tribe. Orji uzor kalu is another example. Nzogbu nzogbu ways of life and politicking. If them like, call it tribal prosecution, that is not my concern cos his like made it possible over some years, why first bank can't pay you through the counter the exact amount you want to collect before the CBN order.

miniziter:
Are you saying there no Yorubas in Kwara and Edo too?

So you don't understand simple English. The OP said, Yorubas from kogi state. Na people like you dey always call Buhari illiterate back then and even Tinubu a certificate forger

Tjra:
Nduka Obaigbena onigbese, pay your debt.

No wonder his media outlet has been publishing rubbish news about First Bank and Otedola.

Only in Nigeria, audio billionaires borrow money, live above their means and then attempt to gag Banks with their media outlets.

FBN is blessed to have a no-nonsense man like Femi as its chairman.

Everything the debtor own should be sold off. The Bank should contract me for this recovery job, I will start from that useless Arise TV.

Rufai, Abati and the other mofos will soon be out of job

Honestly they should sold his properties to raise back his debt. Some of us who also operate first bank are worry because we may just wake up one day and said first bank is liquidated because of this caliber of debtors. Criminals who don't want to pay back loans. After some of his people will say they are the best in business. Otedola ride on and recovered all the money. As usual some of his foolish demented apes will still cry victim.

fergie001:
SOURCE

Obiagbena should know, he is too small to fight Otedola. He should have begged him for a little time to pay back the debts but wanted to use his media outfit to smear the image of the icon. He will be reduced by otedollars. Who pass u don't pass u oh.

This man is from my town, he called the governor a motor boy during campaigns and tried all possible means to degrade him. He now want to come from back door to get close. Am ashamed of him honestly. We are not know for this, Oshiomole made him for who he is now but still went to support Asue. I don't say he must support Oshiomole's candidate but why the u turn. He also called the governor semi illiterate. Why the sudden show of love. This is among the reasons when he tried to contest for house of assembly then, we didn't throw support. Someone that ran from Edo state and abandoned his house to Abuja because of Obaseki during 2020 campaigns.

Why are this useless people can't differentiate the steps taken by Nmandi kanu, from the others they mentioned.
