IdiotOjukwu:
Businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has suggested that insecurity is the reason the funeral of highlife star Flavour’s dad was held in Enugu instead of his home state of Anambra.

Chief Priest, who was among the celebrities that attended the funeral on Saturday, stated this via his verified Instagram page.

He appealed to Southeasterners to collectively address the issue of insecurity in the region, emphasising that it is “no longer interesting.”

The socialite mentioned that Southeasterners cannot destroy their homeland because they are being marginalised.

He wrote:

May God continue to bless him for speaking the fact. How can you destroy your place, because you feel marginalized. Some nairaland will soon insult him now. Imagine a super star could not hold burial in his home town. Why some of us criticize Obi for not always saying things like this, is not that we hate igbos. I have some good friends who are from the east. At least for now, Obi is the most popular politician in the east, imagine him the one that has been talking like cubana chief priest, it will douse the tension in the east.

Lindlady:
Do you have any farm? What do you do for a living?

I really appreciate the north. Agriculture was the mainstay of Nigeria economy until discovering of oil. Still agriculture is still leading. Over the years if successive government and even state government from Southern Nigeria has taken agriculture serious, Nigeria could have been feeding some part of the world now. They have been contributing to the economy and yet some people will be saying they don't contribute nothing. Can we survive without food.

doggedfighter:
Is this necessary on his birthday ?

Are you the one feeding or taking care of his family ?

Don't mind him, that guy na baller cos I saw him at intercontinental hotel VI
at the pool side, easter period this year. Money dey with am. He came with some people and paid the bills. Champagne everywhere. If you know just the cost of Heineken there you will understand. No room less than 250k there. I think he came with rolls Royce phantom, one of the newest edition. Dbanj has paid is dues and no regret. 20 years in music not a joke. He just release a banger now. My cousin was there for sometimes so I frequent there before he left back to Uk. If your skin no full no put body. Dbanj is a legend anyday, anytime. White people in the hotel were gushing over him.

BossGerald:
Stop being clever by half...

Fuel subsidy removal saw more 300% rise in transportation cost, coupled with high inflation, high cost of feeding...nobody wants to spend all his money on transportation alone, you trek some.

Obi made it clear on how he'll solve food inflation...that's the difference

That na lamba from him as usual. Under one year you will solve the insecurity in the north and he didn't tell Nigeria which method he will apply that the previous government has used and didn't work. Someone as governor couldn't solve security challenges and also which land in anambra state did he cultivated.

press9jatv:
Seyi Makinde the best governor ever in Oyo State history. Keep it up. Also over 150km of roads have been constructed in the last one year. From June 2023 to May 2024

yeah and also in the last one Year too. He construct single long kilometers of road like 77km not those who praise 4km road and say he is the best governor since last year. Makinde in the last one Year has constructed more than 500km of roads without no noise from his people. The roads are of high standards cos everyone can see them, but that does not mean the other man has not tried but forcing it on our throat has the best governor since last year is not acceptable. It's a big lie.

flokii:
If infrastructure isn't necessary.. then why are you Igbos all running to Lagos, Ogun and now Ibadan?. Even your Obi stays in Lagos, not Anambra.

I don't think you lots understand the complexity of Nigeria as a nation.. diverse ethnicities, diverse religion, diverse people etc.

You really think a learned person will buy into this your bullshlt that Obi developed HDI and didn't build any infrastructure cos he doesn't need to?.
To think some of you are exposed, travel outside the country, have doctorate degrees yet support mediocrity is baffling. Tufia!

Don't be surprised, people who voted Tofa against Abiola who won in other zone and also defeated Tofa in kano his state or is it the renowned Awolowo that they voted against and supported Shagari. They are quick to tell you they voted for Obasanjo but ask them was Obasanjo Yorubas choice 1999. Over the years during military regime especially, they were close to the northerners and supported all actions against the Yorubas but the Yoruba gradually find their way to the heart of northerners and now position themselves, so because of envy the igbos having realized the northerners has now find trust with the west and igbos start calling Yorubas betrayers even though they are the biggest betrayals. You supported Obi has your tribeman and you now want Yorubas not to support Tinubu.

EmperorCaesar:


Sowore has been actively attacking PBAT and he used to be a darling of the Obidient group but now that he's chose to spit another truth, they'll suddenly remember his tribe and attacking wild wild

Don't mind them, when you tell them the bitter truth they start attacking you. That is why they are were they are politically. We south south used to behave like them but have realized that and we have now getting what they use to get. Senate president has mostly been zoned to east but since they start playing politics of emotion, we now benefit from it. South south may even get presidency again before them if they continue to play nzogbu nzogbu politics. You want to get president and you will be throwing tantrums to the south west and Muslim north who command the voting strength in the north.

hisgrace090:
Mr sowore pls don't just look down on the person of Peter obi just because you needed a chance to contest as a president.
No amount of bad mouth can stop him.
Peter is a man of integrity!

Obi is never a man of integrity. Igbos push him using propaganda in last year election because as the only candidate from their tribe, after crying for presidency for long time now. He who don't condemned happenings in east but so quick to condemned in other zone, you called that man has integrity. Look at ipob massacre over the years in the east, what has he said about them. He is a clown and will never step his foot in Aso rock as president. A man who ran election with religious propaganda that almost set the country in flame. A man who try to divide the Yorubas with religion. Many Nigerians have know his thru colours now. He is know for telling lies.

FourQu:
Thank you for your straight answer to the question on behalf of that dim-witted nut who is running away from his mentions

You be person 👍🏾

The north is not holding any south down. Let take for instance, since 1999 when democracy was restored, is northerners our governors, senator, house of representatives, state assembly and chairmen. No state governors since 1999 can come out and say he utilizes the amount accrued to his state from allocation, tax and revenue generated each year under his tenure by even fifty percent. NDDC when created by Obasanjo has always be headed by niger deltans up till now, and have state representatives. What has dey really done in their respective states with the huge amount collected and still collecting. Southerners are more corrupt than northerners.

Faber:
Edo is 200% APC...

Results will shock many that day...

Btw this man get breasts abi na my eyes dey pain me


Edited : I am not an APC supporter. But that's just reality on ground. The best party to have governed the state till date is APC and the people are going back to Adam Oshiomhole's party.

people because of hatred will say otherwise. Just like you I am not a member of any party too. The Edo election will be won by Apc. Labour shoot it's self on the foot, the moment Akpata a Benin man wins the primary. Many have decamped from Pdp to Apc and also the Dan orbih faction of pdp will work against the party. Obaseki has many battles to fight. We Edo don't vote along party line like that. Obaseki has been having running battle with the palace also and couple with non performances.

grandstar:
When Ronaldo played for Real Madrid, they won the Championship 3 times if I am correct and consecutively.

After he left, they have won it twice and he left to Juventus and the team couldn't reach finals again. Yes Ronaldo played very well in Madrid but the team has a lot of individual brilliant performers like ramos, modric, kross, benzema, Marcelo and others. Modric won balloon Dior and took Croatia to Euro final singlehandedly and he was voted best player of the tournament then. That Madrid team then can't be compared to other team.

helinues:
I still remember when I first became active on this forum back in 2014, you were amongst those who attacked me for supporting GEJ's government, the attack was even coordinated.

How many years gone down the lane now, yet you are still consumed with that habit of attacking others unnecessarily. That's inside this beautiful life oo

You couldn't even dispute what I wrote but instead attack as usual

Too poor too bad

So you mean for ten years now, that guy has been wailing. too bad of him. My problem with many of them is that, they don't accept constrictive criticism. They want you to always support their opinions even if is wrong. I don't see why does who rain causes on Obi as governor, will suddenly support him for higher office. Many of this people are something else. Many of us condemned Wike style of governance back then as governor, because of his bullyish nature and talk to much, but igbos were so happy with him and anytime he attack Buhari and Apc either with truth or lies something, the igbos always feel happy but some of us know that Wike was positioning itself for president. The only anger they have against him now is that he didn't support Obi for president. They don't see any good in him again. The likes of Reno Omokri, Fani kayode use to be their favorite. They hated Obaseki last year when he try to discredit labour party and he even place an order not to allow any vehicle with labour logo or sticker in government house but now they are in love with him, just because they know labour stand no chance in the September election. They keep playing emotional politics.

sleek214:
That's poor. You gave the lady that drove from London to Lagos a brand new car worth over 50 million and other gifts. The stupid bbn winner gets over 100 million from his/her state governor and other sponsors of the show.we celebrate rubbish things in this country, that's why the country is still struggling.

pure lies from you, how can the car worth 50m. Fear God na. For a graduate to be awarded 10m is fair enough. Kudos to the Lagos 01. He is performing in his second tenure just like first tenure. No state governor has even given 5m to best graduating students in their state own institution. Learn to appreciate good gestures.

MASTAkiLLAh:
agbado bandit, you'll never be allowed to do agbero in Rivers State

But there is agbero in Onitsha anambra state.

ibechris:
Anything that would take the evil APC away from us is welcome.

So even if he join one of the structure of criminality he described them. I have not seen desperate people in my life. Last election just exposed hypocrisy.

Otolomo1:
Hmmm
This go long

All the senatorial zone included and Apc was smart enough to give key positions to other governorship candidate. Three from my LGA, John mayaki former chief press secretary to Obaseki, Barrister Bisi Idaomi former woman leader and hon peter Akpartason former nupeng president and current house of rep. The list shows unity among them. Ingrate Obaseki and his candidate will be taught a lesson. No doubt senator Okpeboho will be better performer than obaseki.we don't need grammar governor with nothing to show again. Oshiomole didn't have to speak grammar before he carry out red roof revolution that many public schools in Edo state were given massive facelift or grammar to construct quality and durable roads that has been in good shape after his administration, unlike the roads been constructed and many has gotten bad when Obaseki tenure is not over. New hospital was built without Grammer and Obaseki decided to turn it to private, with his Lagos criminal friends like Asue the pdp candidate looting the resources of the state through sterling bank. A suppose government hospital, you will pay 5k for just card, pay 10k to see any of the consultant and if it end in operation, you also pay 5k for gloove outside other fees. That was not what oshiomole built it for, rather for the masses. Comrade buses introduce by oshiomole that he used to checkmate other private transporters that frequently increases fare even without fuel hike has almost gone underground.the few ones are now used for burial, marriage and church function on hire purposes by the clueless governor. Benin water storm project that under oshiomole was been addressing the flood prone areas in Benin was stopped by him and his foolish candidate said he will continue from where he stopped. We need a practical governor that can identify a problem and solve, without speaking grammar.

adeiza4u:
Ajaka also rigged just as APC rigged too.
It's the best rigger that emerged the winner.
Nobody should paint any false picture of Ajaka who also has everything APC in his blood

Ajaka only decamped to Sdp to contest the election. he was so close to Yaya bello. Igalla man shouldn't have contested again, haven't been governoring the state since is creation. Yahaya bello should have zone it to kogi west the Okun people also but decided to favour his kinsman. That is bad precedent cos if Okun people get the chance anyday, they will do same too. The truth is that igallas neglected other zones in term of employment. Many of their people got two state government jobs.

Allardyce:
Toh, you see the calamity government you support abi?

Whenever you can't defend the incompetent administration, you resort to typing "Toh" 😂

So you don't know the meaning of NGF. It's simply Nigeria governors forum and that means all governors agreed. Some state are still paying 18k for minimum wage. I was shocked when some civil servant protested in Abia of still receiving 18k. It is also in some state. Why blaming the FG

Ozommadu:
This should've been a normal and common thing when you consider the trillions generated by LASG in IGR, but looting and embezzlement no go gree.


Kudos to Sanwolu Shaa...at all at all na em bad pass

Nonsense talk by you, Anambra and Abia also generate huge IGR but what has dey achieve with it.

Obaofpigs:
So because TINUBU through Wike name road after Jonathan, the thread is abandoned?

Why can't Agbado come around and explain why a 'CORTUPT' Jonathan according to them has a road named after him?

I ask, is Jonathan now a saint and no more JONADAFFT?

Just asking... because when the tables are turned.. e go red for Dem... E sure die.

Why are you crying, that is the political alignment we always tell you people. Politics are all friends but only pursue individual ambition and aligned later after election. Even when south south moved on after Jonathan election, the south east took it personal and started making political enemies with the north and south west. Goodluck was so close to Buhari to the point of him accepting to be special envoy, leading delegations on behalf of the government. Goodluck was the first notable politician to congratulate Tinubu as president elect. If you people continue to play politics of emotion and sentiment, you will find it hard to get presidency. The west and north don't really like themselves but politically the both knows they need each other for power and that is were the south east has got it wrong since and still making same mistake till date. We south south has now been positioned to take advantage of it. Last government we have deputy Senate president and now Senate president. It only happens because of forging alliance and political smartness.

DMerciful:
Can we agree to break this country peacefully?

I don't know why we're forcing unity, its not as if we like each other.

They are paying for their sins, imagine one of them chinasa burnt BRT buses during end sars, Nmandi kanu don't need pity cos we all know how he ordered total destruction of some section of the country, abi is it the senseless man that said he will call ipob to lagos. Most of you people don't condemned action your tribesmen do but when arrested you start victim mentality. What consign BRT buses with end sars that the goat set ablaze if not pure jealousy. Are igbos the only tribe in Lagos and even with properties. The end sars that led to destruction in Lagos was orchestrated by Nmandi kanu and evidence were there to see thru the video he made. They will remain there and this will serve as lesson to people like you who can also carry such nefarious attitude.

gistray:
Cubuna chief priest do not represent Igbo people.

Moreover there's hunger in the whole of Nigeria... It's a fact that things are expensive everywhere. Even tomatoes now is seen as Gold.

Was surprised when I price just one Opioro Mango in Abuja and they told me N200

Something of N20 few years ago

Yeah but some people want to make us understand in this platform that their zone is free from ebi paw mi. Thanks to cubana chief priest for the clarification. They have started calling him out now.

SoNature:
Cubana Chief Priest lives in Owerri

Big lie

BATified2023:
so u are ready for them n u don’t think they are also ready for u?

In as much I don't pray for war, the igbos will loose in a war with the Yorubas. The igbos took last year election too personally and emotionally too. When it doesn't favour you, go to the drawing board and strategize. Some of us in south south was not happy about the loss of Jonathan presidency but took it in good faith. We moved on and now south south members in both Apc and Pdp are strong and they have form alliance too and we may even get presidency again before south east. In politics, you can't take trust away. Many politician from other zone reason that way. I personally lost an NDDC job that I was to resume in 2015 and Jonathan was very slow about the process of confirmation. That is what it is, so because of that I should be insulting Buhari then or even Jonathan for not making it possible. I accepted and move on. What is hard for you people to move on, except you have an agenda. Abiola won the freest election in 1993 and he was denied and subsequently arrested and he died in prison, don't you think the Yorubas were not pained but the accepted and re organise their self by peaceful protest and calling on the world powers to see and the military went against many and other ran away and still fighting for their right and when democracy was installed they form their own party the alliance for democrat (AD) and made Olu falae has their presidential candidate but Ibb and some retired military men in the north chooses Obasanjo and made him the Pdp candidate and was supported by the north and east and south south politicians who Ibb has already bribed. In all south westerner benefitted from the annulment of Abiola election.that is the point am making. You can lose election and now want the country to go on flames. The reason some of us think most of you people are supporting Ipob who now also disguises as unknown gun men to carry out phantom damages to properties and live is that you people keep quiet for long but when it now occurs that you people are now at the receiving end some are now speaking against them. You people you should form real alliances and criticise constructively. Condemned act in all zone not selectiveness.

mightyhaze:
Rest this your format..

Edo no be Agbado..

It shows you don't have nothing to say. Obi will never be president of Nigeria. If Nigerians are not satisfied by Tinubu and still want the presidency in the south, a south south man will benefit from it. Hope you are following the Edo election.

mightyhaze:
For instance u and I know that the most enlightened,well travelled,more educated,less bigoted and far more resourceful Nigerians reside and vote in places like Abuja,Lagos and Edo...


Let me leave u with the remaining puzzle to see what an agbado can do with this info

Am from Edo state, you think those religious politicking Obi use to deceive many edolite will work again. You don't really know us cos when you deceive an Edo man and he or she realizes, then you will definitely be paid back. hope you are following the electioneering at the moment. Only the igbos who reside in our state will vote for Obi next election. I know what am talking because many of igbos promoted the Muslim ticket and follow the footstep of the bigot Obi to deceive many that Apc want to islamize Nigeria. Christians are now more in the government of Tinubu than Muslim. Many people now know it was purely political reason and they see it like that now. Obi was know for setting up catholic versus other pentecostal churches as governor of anambra. Obaseki is running around now, he was love before but messed up. Same scenario will play out for Obi when the time comes and he will explain why he is always quick to condemned happenings in other zone but quiet in that of east, and also for him to condemned the coastal road project that reasonable Nigerian's supported. When second niger bridge was been constructed, why did he not advice the government to stop it and instead fix the dilapidated federal road in the east. Ipob activities has also put a dent on his image cos he has not for once condemned their nefarious activities and instead he said they are good people and he lives with them. Him now talking and Otti was because the army casualties of the killings are mostly easterners. I will always prefer Atiku to Obi any day anytime. Atiku to some extent he his not tribalist and a religious fanatic, unlike Obi. Until Igbos present another candidate then they will keep waiting till thy kingdom come. Obi real character has been know since last year till now, so nothing to hide again. How can you be desperate to the extent of exploiting the Muslim tickets that he knows vividly has nothing for islamization but wanted to deceive christians so as to see it has religious war. He now realize it didn't work out for him, he now visit mosques up and down in the north, same faith he campaign v igorously against. I pity him cos the northerners don't forget. If Tinubu failed to move the country from this current situation, most northerners will vote for Atiku, so you people should know this. They will not take a risk for a religious and tribal lord.

blacknp:
You must be highly frustrated, na so to be president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria dey hungry una?

Biafra ko, confused people. Today presidency tomorrow Biafra.

EmperorCaesar:
Instead of u to condemn the act of animals in human form perpetrating this evil, u choose to drag the Gov

No wonder your region is the way it is...U excuse every bad behaviour while hoping the Gov takes care of everything

You and Sound Logic are like two parallel lines

They are born to do that, always shifting blames. His brothers are stealing what was supposed to be their ease of movement and he decided not to condemned the act. Most of them reason backward like their emergency messiah who dey condemned as governor.

jmoore:
You spent 336 billion naira to build a bridge but you can't spend at least 1 million naira to install cctv cameras at various spots to monitor the bridge.

Common sense is really scarce.

you don't need surveillance if the people are patriotic. I taught they are all billionaires.

Goodday90:
Attack Obi and get rewarded
Tinubu clueless Government,they will soon rename the Abuja Airport to Reno

Obi good as how, a man who almost set the country on flame through his religious campaign last year. yes daddy, christian take back your country was some of his speech. I will prefer to vote Nmandi kanu than Obi at least we know what kanu is not Obi who always hide is tru colours over the years but got exposed during election campaign.

senatordave1:
BENIN CITY – NOT less than 100 members of the 10 wards executive of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Egor local government area of Edo State yesterday defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the governorship election slated for September 21 including some executives at the local government level.


They were led by a leader of the PDP in the area and a member of the Legacy Group who also publicly tendered his resignation letter from the PDP, Hon Nosa Adams.

They were received by the leaders of the APC led by the Acting State Chairman, Emperor Jaret Tenebe and other members of the State Working Committee at the new party secretariat.

Other party leaders present were the yet to be inaugurated Director General designate of the APC Campaign Council, Sen Matthew Uroghide, the governorship candidate of the party, Sen Monday Okpebholo and his running mate, Hon Dennis Idahosa, Sen Adams Oshimhole, former deputy governor, Lucky Imasuen, the husband of the National WomanLeader of the party and a leader of the APC in Egr, Pius Alile among others.

Okpebholo said the defection has brought a new era to the politics of the state “Edo is witnessing a new era, development is what we are after and that is what we are going to do. Edo is the place for all of us and so we must develop it, we have no other home than Edo and we must fix it.”

On his part, Adams said they would ensure victory in the election, “This is not the day to talk much, in the last election we defeated our opponent with 17,000 votes, in this election we are joining APC and we must make the difference Akpakomiza and Denco must win the election with not less than 20,000 votes and from tomorrow we will join our brothers and start a tour of the wards for integration, after we have won, we will come and make speeches.”

In his remarks, the Leader of the party in the state, Oshiomhole said the new coalition would bring victory to the party and renewed development to Egor local government area. “With the transparent manner that Adams has presented the decampees from the ten wards, just the leaders, then who is left in Egor PDP? I want to assure you and those who came with you that you are not a stranger and cannot be treated as one, you will bring on board, your wealth of experience and determination to do what you have always done. The way you have worked for us to be defeated, now you shall work in the same way for us to win. With you, we are reinjecting a lot of energy into the APC on the basis of one man one vote.”

PDP Reacts


Reacting to the defection, the Deputy Director General, Asue/Ogie Campaign Management Council, Rev Olu Martins said the PDP in Egor has received more since their defection and that they have created more space for others.
He said “Adams has always been part of what they call Legacy, as a matter of fact, he was one of the founding fathers of Legacy especially in Egor local government, he is a known ally of Chief Dan Orbih. We have advocated that if you cannot be a team player, then go to a political party where you can play the kind of politics that you want.

“Fortunately, Ward 2 where he is from is like the hot bet of political activities in Egor, that Ward currently has the Director of Operation in Egor for the PDP so we are not unmatched and as I speak to you, we have over 300 members of the Labour Party who have just been received into the part by the leader of the party in the local government, joined by the House of Assembly member. It is a season of what I call political transfers. We now know that he is in the opposition, he is in the APC, we now know how to tackle him and since he has left, he has created space for others to come and more others than the ones he took away have come to join us.”

It is over for PDP. A lot of decamping will still follow in the coming days, week and month before election. That ingrate will be taught a political lesson come September 21. Edo state is a unique state when election comes around. We supported him 2020 and took us for granted by low performance and the even started fighting those who stood by him because he wanted to be the new godfather. Not stopping by that, he now went further by trying to fight the revered royal majesty, the Oba of Benin. Edolite will definitely reject his candidate for sure.

Stenewiser:
what age grade earn the basic salary?, cuz from what I know majority of the people earning the minimum wage are below 30s, how many under 30s have family of six which you're using for your evaluation

You are correct because the negative effect on the economy will be massive. What government need to do in regard to workers is to provide free buses to workers in designated bus stop. With this transportation will be taken care of. Let the government open food markets across all the local government areas, by buying from the farmers directly and these will force other foodstuffs traders to reduced their prices cos many are taken advantage of the current situation to hike their prices. That is what we called control measures. At least he will go long to ameliorate the situation at hand now.
