Bross, APC nor strong in Rivers, where U dey live?my house is in Obiakpor LGA, APC nah 10/100, so what are you saying? and the way Amaechi is carrying on he is now becoming like Saraki in Kwara!

The riverine guys prefer him to Wike, but that's not enough to give him victory or the AAC candidate victory.

Prompto:
Story !
I will believe whoever INEC declare as the winner not who PDP fanboy believe should win. People’s will must prevail in Rivers, never again will Wild be allowed to write election result as he pleases.

The truth is that in a free and fair election, PDP will always win Rivers. What happened in Rivers yesterday wasn't an election at all. Amaechi decided to use the military to force Wike out of office. Why should Buhari who claims he has integrity approve such rascality by his minister? Why should he endorse the wasting of so many innocent lives like that?
APC is strong in Rivers no doubt, but there isn't any way the party can displace Wike not to even talk of an unknown AAC except by an abuse of military force as witnessed yesterday.

bender79:
Suspended meaning results already collected stand

Voting was concluded yesterday. All results have been collected (at least at polling unit levels).
Suspended means no further announcing of results. After the investigations, many of the results will be outrightly cancelled and a rerun planned at a later date.
Amaechi has become a curse to the people of Rivers. On a normal day, PDP will win Rivers just the same way APC will always win Borno and Yobe even without campaigning.

and there we have it.the reason no one will put his money on any dev project in the south east simply put put your dev at your own risk.
Lagos will always be a destination

It doesn't mean anything. Igbos still build houses in Lagos and Abuja despite knowing that Nigeria may still break up in the near future. Who says a man from Oduduwa Republic can't own properties in the Republic of Biafra? Are you aware that Indians, Pakistanis and Arabs are among the biggest landlords in the UK? They own houses and rent them out to British folks as well as other people from ethnic minorities.

Stingman:
If Lagos can accommodate as many Nigerians, the land mass of SE won't be much of an issue...With high rise buildings like the pic of Hong Kong attached, spaces will be saved for other purposes...

More of Enugu...these sprawling estates could be used for high rises...and save land...but constant power is needed tp move people up the flats. A small coal-powered plant could be built there in Enugu for power supply...

Yeah, but I was only trying to agree with him as to why we demolish old houses in the South East to build new ones, while they retain their old, 'brown-roofed' houses.
They have a lot of land to spare, we don't have enough.

Printerscanner:
Your incoming governor in Ogun state was also nominated by Tinubu. So, where are you running to again? Tinubu has been 'imposing' governors in Lagos, but these governors have ALL performed better than ALL other governors in Nigeria.

Don't you guys get tired of repeating this nonsense?
So Ambode was better than ALL other governors in this dispensation yet he was denied 2nd term ticket? Isn't that stupidity on the part of your party leaders?
The reality is that Lagos governors are all overrated. Sitting on over half a billion budget per annum, even an idiot will seem impressive as a Lagos governor if they spend only a half of Lagos budget per annum. I mean we're talking about a state that already has infrastructure that many states cannot boast of in many decades. It's a state run largely by the private sector, so the government doesn't have that many workers on it's payroll compared to some other states. What do Lagos governors even do?

Frenchkiss564:
With a landmass about the size of Oyo State the south east is very small hence you have to demolish your old buildings to pave way for new ones.

It is as simple as that

You're right. That's a real fact!
If South East becomes a country tomorrow, it will have one of the highest population densities in Africa. There isn't much land to waste in most towns and villages.

justtoodark:
pull down....??

see how you dey talk....

I don't think what I wrote is very difficult to understand.
Many of the old houses I met in my village while growing up (most of which were built by my grandfather and his contemporaries) aren't there anymore. They have been demolished and replaced with newer buildings. That's what I meant by the term "pull down".

kayfra:
That's Yoruba architecture from 19th century and still standing in pristine condition. We'll preserve our ancient inner city while we continue our modern development in zoned sections of the city.

This will become a tourist attraction sooner rather than later. Money maker $$$

There's nothing really architectural about those buildings, neither will they have any worth in terms of tourism in the future.
If Ibadan were to be the South East, most of those buildings would have been pulled down with modern buildings replacing them. I remember the Anglican and Catholic churches we met when we were kids. They weren't really bad, as a matter of fact, some of them had a little bit of European church architecture. They've all been demolished today and replaced with bigger and modern church auditoriums. A few of the buildings in Ibadan could have been left behind anyway to serve as memorials, but not having a large expanse of land crowded with such buildings, with people still living in them.
They are simply not worthy of human habitation in the 21st century. Fact!

Naijaguy123:
quote author=KingAzubuike post=76496596] Does she know that without the Igbo's , Lagos state and Nigeria in general would have been nothing? The Igbo's drive the economy of this country .

The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937.

The first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish University in 1935.
Awolowo will continue to be the Yoruba hero not because of blind followership but because he gave his people the system of free education, free healthcare and he introduced Television to the Yoruba; making Yorubaland the first region to have a TV station in Africa, all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and Unclad buffonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from?

Copied.

While I respect Yorubas for what they were able to achieve by themselves prior to and after independence, to say Lagos was built just by Yorubas is pure and undiluted lies.
Yes, Awolowo was a fantastic leader of Yorubas. He did so many things for Yoruba land, but you should remember that Ibadan (not Lagos) was the capital of Yoruba (or Western) Region. Awolowo built Ibadan not Lagos, and we know how the old Ibadan that was built in those days is today.
Even as at independence when Lagos had already been Nigeria's capital city, it wasn't much more advanced than any regular town today. It was only organised.
Lagos infrastructure was built to be fitting for a Federal capital territory, and that's why no other city in the entire South of Nigeria has such structures and amenities. If it was about Yorubas, then Ibadan would have been close in terms of development after all Ibadan was founded centuries before Lagos and is the administrative capital of Yoruba land.

LibertyRep:
Up until two weeks ago, Daniel was one of the main men of Atiku's PDP. How could he have turned around to support APC when his party is also fielding a candidate for same election?

The PDP candidate he supported (Adebutu) lost the court case to Kashamu. He (OGD) then decided that instead of supporting Kashamu, he'd rather support Dapo Abiodun who is equally from Remo like Adebutu

KingAzubuike:

Why do you guys keep doing this, why? Are you the only Igbos? This annoying bragging about what the Igbos can do is getting sickening and irritating? This is one of the reasons why these online wars won't end anytime soon. Are you reasonable at all?

For your information, you're not more Igbo than me. I was born and raised in Igbo land (Anambra, to be precise), and I made A1 in Igbo Language in my SSCE.

MrAJQ:
Theresa May is running a government with directionaless much more than Buhari of Nigeria. So face your country let us face our country.

Awan weree reporter

You're a hopeless being. Have you ever been to the UK? So because May's government is struggling to get Brexit right (which wasn't even initiated by her), you term it that her government is more directionless than Buhari's? You're blind and aren't aware of that.
In the UK, Buhari CANNOT be the head of a security unit of an organisation. He can't last in such a post for one month even if they freely offer him the opportunity.

LexngtonSteele:
Even Igbos don't trust themselves. Fact!

Crime, monopoly on prostitution, drug dealing, rituals ...when will all these stop?

Ndigbo need to sit up and inculcate good values

Which rituals? Is Ogun State an Igbo state? Is any region competing with the SW on rituals now?
What about Internet fraud? Isn't Ibadan the headquarters now?
Abeg shift joor!

garfield1:
Sack him and another apc candidate takes over.no place for saraki in kwara....

It will be declared that APC didn't have a candidate in the election cos his candidacy would have been nullified. The runner up will be declared winner.

Afamed:
Use your sense. PDP Propaganda came so late

Na you suppose use your sense, that's if you have any. Sowore and Sahara Reporters have been having running battles with Saraki for a long time. Suddenly, Sahara Reporters becomes PDP propaganda tool working to help Saraki. Chai!

Afamed:
Your propaganda came late

Late or early, it doesn't matter. Even if the guy wins tomorrow, the court will sack him ultimately.

IPOB finally pushed Saraki to a Journey of no return

Shut up!
Was it IPOB that asked him to decamp from PDP to APC and finally return to PDP? If he had remained in PDP after 2014, Kwara would have remained a PDP state today.
Well, IPOB doesn't care about Saraki. He was only supported because he was against Buhari. It's the same way you guys are worshipping Akpabio now despite the unprintable things he said about APC and Buhari in 2014/15. The same Obasanjo you're castigating now is the man your leaders wore asoebi to go and beg for support in 2014/15.
Abeg, leave all the talk. All Nigerians have the same tendency politically.

iRepNaija1:
Logged in just so I could reply to this message. You've missed the whole point of her message: women are not pets or animals. The only people she needs to be taking "corrections" from are her parents and/or elders. It's not a woman's job to learn how to submit to a man. A man's ego, his masculinity, and his pride should not be determined based on how a woman treats him or how she relates to him. How can you control anyone when you're submitting? Carry go.

You see, you're the one that missed the point I was trying to make. I mentioned that I understood her annoyance because the op made it seem like he wanted to control or lord it over the girl. I am sure in reality, that's not what he was referring to.

Talking about taking corrections, nobody is always right. Corrections can be given by any of the partners in a relationship or marriage. I wasn't trying to make it seem like the woman must always take corrections from the man. The question is, the few times the man points out her errors to her, how does she respond to it? I once dated a girl who used to get very angry if I made attempt to correct her over any issue. At a point, I almost started getting scared whenever I was with her and an issue arose.

You see, I have had a personal experience about this and I can tell you that with a reasonable man, a submissive woman ultimately rules. I can never see myself shouting at my babe now. It's almost impossible, yet in my past relationships, I had moments of shouting and bitter exchange of words. Why is it different now? By her submission and gentility, she has brought out the best of me. If I correct her over anything, she thanks me, and for that reason, if she corrects me, I won't start proving that I was right. I simply listen to her. At the beginning, I used to be scared of correcting her cos of my past experiences until I realised she has a better approach to issues.

You don't have to agree with me especially with respect to the submission issue. If you're a feminist or a sympathiser of feminists, the whole submission ish will sound like nonsense to you. You have a right to disagree with me, but I can tell you boldly that a woman who humbly lets her husband take the lead ultimately gets full control. I'm sure you've heard of the term "woman wrapper". That's what submissive women turn their husbands to (especially if they are reasonable men like me). Such men can go any length just to please them and make them happy.

cococandy:
You’re a control freak. She’s not your child!

Just listen to yourself and the words you’re saying.

You want to control her
You’re correcting her
You’re raising your voice at her
You get upset that she talks back at you.

Like she’s supposed to keep quiet like a child and listen to you talking condescendingly to her in the name of correction.
What are you correcting her about? What makes you think you know more than her and as such are in position to correct her.

You’re just upset that she isn’t accepting of your mansplaining.
What normal person looks for who to control?

I hope she sees the signs and leaves you before she ends up in a horrible marriage with someone looking for a subordinate, not a partner.

I wonder whose raising these prideful, egocentric boys who think they can come into a woman’s life and run the show. Oh I know.

GTFOH

I understand your annoyance but believe me, I can feel the op. I once had a girl like that. We only lasted 2 months and I decided I couldn't take it anymore so I called it quits. Breaking up with her is one of the best relationship decisions I've ever made.
Today, I have a girl who is so soft that I have become much better cos of her attitude. This is a girl that will apologise first cos there was a misunderstanding (even when the main fault might not have come from her). As a result of her attitude, I have learnt to apologise very easily, and as a matter of fact, I now see apologising to her as a way of expressing love. Besides, she has everything I ever desired in a girl physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. In my world, she's the most complete girl God ever created.

A woman who always wants to enforce her opinion to her man will lose the man and the relationship. Same applies to a woman who can't take corrections. When a woman learns to submit to her man, she will ultimately win him over and may even get to start 'controlling' the man with her submission.

@Kenshinmunac, that lady is not yours. Break up with her and wait for your own. You both are not compatible. I'm talking from experience.

zurich1010:
Beautiful mountain top Enugu; the only place I will live in Nigeria. This is not the first time we are seeing hail in Enugu; actually happens more due to high elevation!

Watch as afonja will invade and start calling them them all kinds of names and even claiming it happens in other places out of envy and wickeness in them...why Enugu? Why not Ibadan?. What these afonjas don't know is Biafrans don't regard them as anything!

I'm Igbo, but honestly speaking, this is sickening. Why do you guys keep fanning the flames of tribal bigotry here on Nairaland? What has this hailstone fall got to do with Yorubas? Hailstone fall is not an achievement, it doesn't call for celebration or bragging in any way.
I'm really tired of all these.

kehinde1588:
The handwriting is very clear. You don't need a soothsayer to tell you APC owns kwara.

I am proud to be part of the O to o ge movement that sent IPOB leader(saraki) into political oblivion.

Saraki can continue to lead the IPOBS not us kwarans.

What is the link between IPOB and Saraki? When Saraki was in APC between 2014 and 2018, he wasn't IPOB. He was a progressive. As soon as he joined PDP, he became IPOB. Nonsense!

Shuku0kukobambi:

Without Amosun's rigging, I think it's clear Dapo Abiodun will win.

Husbandofigbos:
In Ogun, didn't you see there I stated it there?

He supported Olurin in 2011 and 2015.

And who is that?
I only know he supported Jonathan in 2011 and Buhari in 2015

Husbandofigbos:
That's sure.

He has a right to talk and we in Ogun state have a right to ensure that Obasanjo's candidates are always beaten during election year.

The last time Obasanjo's candidate won in Ogun was 12 years ago. In 2011, his daughter Iyabo was defeated in the polling unit in front of her father's house in Ita Eko.

Since then, we've been beating baba and his candidates every election year. 2019 was just the ultimate disgrace. He ran to Hilltop in 2019 and that was where Buhari beat nonsense out of him and put sand in his mouth.

Na ordinary carcass dem package for una, we wey dey Ogun know as e dey go. Baba dey chop am steady for our hand.

Who were his presidential candidates in 2011 and 2015?
