johntolu:There's no doubt that Obi was highly overated towards the 2023 Presidential election cycle in my opinion based on his past innefectiveness and incompetent performance in Anambra State because he was heavily criticized on several threads on Nairaland right in the February 14, 2012 NL Weblink right BELOW and other online platforms such as FB, YouTube, X, etc, by his own Anambra State indigenes for his incompetence with bad roads even right in Awka that had poor infrastructure as the state capital, street-level refuse disposal challenges, the inability to conduct LGA elections and much more. Suddenly, tribalism crept in and the people who had insulted and criticized Obi started hailing him and gave him 95% of the available votes in the South East while other regions were even more liberal in voting across all the 3 leading parties with Atiku even narrowly beating Tinubu in Osun State as well. What Exactly Is Peter Obi Doing In Anambra State? =>https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing I coincidentally just stated right ABOVE this post how I read a full page article in the Punch newspaper where Willie Obiano's government heavily criticized Peter Obi for owing contractors for construction works in Anambra State. The money that was to be paid to them in billions of Naira was far more than the money Peter Obi went about telling impressionable people around Nigeria that he had saved for Anambra State in the banks especially from Poju Oyemade's The Platform event in Lagos and it was from Poju Oyemade's "The Platform" that the story went viral without Peter Obi telling anyone that he was in reality owning huge debts that were far higher than what he claimed to have saved. If it wasn't because people were second-guessing the APCs performance during the PMB years, Peter Obi wasn't even supposed to be among the credible people to contest for the Presidency of Nigeria because he engages in a lot of deception and sophistry! A new crop of deep and innovative thinkers are needed to trigger the developmental changes in Nigeria NOT people in the mould of Peter Obi and his ilk. |

press9jatv:Former Governor Willie Obiano's government heavily criticized Peter Obi in the mass media hoarding money and for NOT paying government contractors billions of Naira for construction works done in Anambra leading the contractors to stop work and further asked what the objective of saving money in his Fidelity bank was for when people were being owed billions of Naira (much more than what Peter claimed he saved or invested in the bank?). I actually read that report in the Punch before Willie Obiano left office as the Governor of his state and I will attach the link BELOW if I find the article. Willie Obiano had to start looking for billions of Naira from other sources to pay up those Anambra debts. This is the reason why Peter Obi was criticized heavily by Willie Obiano's government for owing and he went to Poju Oyemade's The Platform event in Lagos State to start engaging in sophistry by claiming to gullible people and listeners who ignorantly clapped for him that he had saved money for his state. People like Obi and indeed all politicians must always be scrutinized for every word they say in order to know their intellectual capacities. |
| Culture › Re: History Of Ayede Ekiti by Konquest: 6:05am On Jun 12, 2025 |
Bump. While there were conflicts between the Igala and other groups in the region, including the Nupe, there is no historical record of the Igala directly attacking Aiyede (now Ayede) in Ekiti State. Ayede was originally established as a refuge for people fleeing the Nupe invasion of Iye-Ekiti in 1830. Here's a more detailed explanation: Aiyede's Origin: Ayede's history is linked to the Nupe invasion of Iye-Ekiti in 1830. People from Iye-Ekiti fled the invasion and established Aiyede as a refugee camp. The OPs post (FIRST post on this NL thread) was originally written by (and should have been credited to Abdullahi Ayegba) Abdullahi Ayegba and anything from that guy called Ayegba MUST always be FACT-CHECKED because of his many historical errors.

7lives:@7lives, Absolutely well said. The Buzus (Tuaregs) who work as security guards are also of Berber origin. The Berbers as you might alright be aware of are largely found in Morocco, Algeria, and the Tuaregs who are their kinsmen are found indigenously parts of Niger Republic and Mali. Infact the late Muammer Gaddafi of Libya employed some of these Tuaregs as body guards and officers in the Libyan military, so, when he was killed by the French troops through the Western alliance, the Tuaregs fled Libya with sophisticated weapons and started the destabilization of Northern Mali in the Timbuktu area because they claimed to be fighting for independence BUT now, that war has degenerated into the Jihadist terror groups such as JNIM which is affiliated to al-Qaeda and they have NOW have control of over 50% of Mali since they invited the Russians and expelled the French and JNIM has ALSO moved right into Burkina Faso where more than half of that country too is in their control. So, you are indeed right, the "Lakurawa" criminal gang terrorizing parts of the North West of Nigeria are foreign Tuaregs NOT Nigerians as revealed by the Nigerian military, the indigenous Hausas and other people in that area of Sokoto, Zamfara, etc. I will post a video of the Hausa woman in Katsina who openly condemned the minority Fulanis for taking over their ancestral lands with the invasion of foreign Fulanis from other countries through the borders just like what the Plateau indigenes are ALSO saying that these Fulanis are chasing them from their lands, renaming those lands and occupying them. President Tinubu, his political team and those State Governors affected by these foreign invaders MUST wake up now to deal with the criminality and ensure that this Fulani political hegemony is broken in Nigeria forever. Let them go back to the countries they came from. It's really annoying that NO Hausa man has EVER been the President of Nigeria and MOST far Northern Hausa States are governed by Fulani Governors and it's further annoying that foreigner Fulas can be dislocating the indigenous Hausas or Hausawas despite the lie being told about Fulanis being Muslims. It's all a cover-up to deceive people and take over other people's ancestral lands. This is why Sunday Igboho took charge of things after a highly-educated U.S.-based Yoruba man traveled back to his home state of Oyo State in Nigeria to invest millions of Naira in agribusiness investments ONLY to get killed on his commercial farmland by these Fulani bandits who they had earlier chased off the farm. With Tinubu being the President, this shouldn't be happening in any part of Nigeria again because the last minority Fulani President has left office. The now President 'Bola Tinubu even went to Kano State in Hausaland during his political campaigns and blundered a bit by saying that "Yorubas and Fulanis are one" while on a visit to the Emir of Kano but who told him that Kano State which is Hausaland is Fulani? That was very annoying to hear. If Tinubu continues to listens to the advice of minority Fulani political hegemonists who are the Governors in Hausaland or even the NSA, the problem of foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits will NEVER be solved because they will NOT tell Tinubu the truth (because those foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits are their kinsmen), and it's important that the security situation is resolved quickly using attack and surveillance drones including advanced satellite tracking systems at all government levels to enable indigenous ethnic Nigerian people to go back to their ancestral farms in the North, West, and East to boost food production and disposable income in order to eradicate national poverty! I wish Tinubu and his team success though in the next two years left BUT there is NO time to waste in restructuring Nigeria so that more Diasporas can go over to Nigeria for massive investments in different fields. 1] SHOCKING TWIST 🔥 HAUSA WOMEN & OTHERS SEEK ALLIANCE WITH YORUBA & IGBO TO FIGHT FULANI CONQUERORS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wnK4qQnjyg?si=okSbKUb7jomYjEkF Naija Star News Jan 18 2025 In this video, we’re bringing you a story that has shocked many Nigerians. Some Hausa women have come forward with explosive claims about the Fulanis and their hidden plans for Nigeria. Let’s get into it. These women say the Fulanis have been using religion and power to dominate not just the North but the entire country. They’re urging other regions—especially the Yoruba and Igbo—to join hands with the indigenous Hausas in a fight for Nigeria’s future. 2] HAUSAS REFUSE TO BE LINKED WITH FULANIS—WE’RE EITHER HAUSA OR FULANI, NEVER BOTH WITH TERRøRISTS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPsio7Gcxwo In this video, we're diving into a strong message coming from the North—straight from some Hausas who are boldly speaking out and saying enough is enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKUzZdXmJO8 1 Like |

Dalohad:I read everything you wrote. Look, young man, get yourself fully informed about real historical events from experts NOT conjectures with your copying and pasting of some incoherent information right above. I have since the year 1981 bought advanced book and gathered historical knowledge from my home libraries in Nigeria and over here in the Diaspora so you are NOT talking to an uninformed young person here. I speak very fluent Hausa language as well as being an internationally well-traveled man and multilinguist. What you copied and wrote about the Yoruba folks of over 80 million people worldwide right ABOVE doesn't make sense at all! Yoruba as a word is derived from "OYO OBA" referencing the OYO people or the supremacy of the Oyo Empire and was coined as of the year 1843 by the great linguist and Anglican clergyman Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther who is a direct descendant of Alaafin Abiodun who was the Emperor of the Oyo Empire which stretched from modern Nigeria, Benin Republic and Togo! There's a rock-solid video documentary which you can view online that CLEARLY details how Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther coined the name "Yoruba" the name of one of the major Yoruba subgroups (the OYO people). You are CLEARLY deflecting from the original topic of this thread and engaging in historical disinformation here instead of learning the FACTS of history. For example, the ENGLISH people of England are named after one of the 3 Germanic tribes that crossed the English Channel and migrated from Mainland Europe to what is now England before the year 1000 BCE. The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes are the 3 Germanic tribes, BUT the name of the "ANGLES" alone out of the 3 was chosen and used to name the entire country called England. The same thing applies to the Yoruba country where the name of the "OYOS' out of several subgroups who are ancestrally related to one another was used to name the entire Yoruba people [who have ancestral and indigenous lands in Nigeria, Benin Republic and Togo] despite the FACT that other Yoruba subgroups such as the Aworis, Ijebus, Egbas, Ekitis, Ijesas, Ondos, Ilajes, Ikales, Okuns, Igbominas, etc, exist. The Yoruba styles of greeting one another named "Aku, and Olukumi" were alternative names that were already being used by just a very few foreign writers to collectively describe the whole of the subgroups that make up the Yorubas of today, BUT the spelling and name "YORUBA" finally won the day through Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther's highly distinguished works in 1843. Bishop Ajayi Crowther was ALSO responsible as a respected linguist for writing the FIRST EVER Ibo language book entitled: "Isuama Ibo: A Primer" in 1855 based on his earlier works in creating the modern Yoruba alphabet and numbering system as of 1843 including the earliest Yoruba-English Dictionaries. He ALSO wrote the first book in Igala and Nupe languages as a linguist in the late 1800s. The foundations of the written Ibo language were laid in Onitsha in the late 1850s by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther as well so he wasn't just a clergyman. There was absolutely NO way that the highly educated linguist and distinguished Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther would as of 1843 create and use the name Yoruba (derived from OYO subgroup) if it has NO meaning in Yoruba lexicon OR is of defamation foreign origin as that would have been disrespectful to him as a royal blood and direct descendant of Alaafin Abiodun of the Oyo Empire (who reigned in the late 1700s) and to his Yoruba country people. I made VERY succinct points here with massive EVIDENCE from respected international scholars and archival materials on the etymology of the word "Igbo" including the reference to several Yoruba words in Igala language and some screenshot EVIDENCE from the "Longman Ibo-English Dictionary" showing that "EGUSI" is a LOAN WORD borrowed from the YOR (Yoruba) into Ibo lexicon. If you read the screenshots ATTACHED to my posts, you WOULDN'T have made the very unwise comments you made. I can see from your last posts that you are from Ebonyi State and came here to even criticize Anambra indigenes of being very "divisive people" and being of partly Igala origin right ABOVE. I gave you 4 VERY CLEAR FACTS and book screenshots from credible sources including an Ibo writer and you are engaging in historical revisionism here! I will end this convo with you here because you are deliberately spreading disinformation on already established history from several archival sources and internationally respected books (that I have collected in my personal libraries since the year 1981) from local and foreign scholars. Period. 1 Like 2 Shares

Dalohad:You're incorrect. It's NOT a conjured information published in book format. History has to be put in the right context and there's NOTHING to be totally ashamed of even if aspects of ones history isn't entirely noble. It is what it is. Once you get to know the ancestral origins and language of the Igalas being "Yoruboid" [just like the Itsekiris] with part Yoruba ancestry going back to about 700 years ago, the etymology or origin of the word "Igbo" becomes CLEARER. So, the word "Igbo" is a pure Yoruba language word meaning "BUSH or FOREST" and since 65% of Igala words are mutually intelligible with Yoruba language, the use of the word "ONIGBO" as a condescending word of contempt in the past for "slaves" OR "enslaved BUSH people" of the Ibo interior east of the river Niger isn't surprising. With the Igala conquests of non-indigenous Igala areas of what is now Enugu and Anambra States, they simply refered to the conquered "bush-dwelling or forest-dwelling tribes there with contempt as "ONIGBO" denoting "enslaved BUSH people" or "outcasts who engaged in cannibalism." The Benin-Edo called the enslaved got from the east of river Niger as "IGBON" while the Asaba and Onitsha refered condescendingly to the people in the areas east of the river Niger and east of Onitsha as "ONYE IGBO" because they were seen as the source of slaves. I've had several well-documented, archival materials from decades back emphasizing on this. The derogatory term "Ibo" (Igbo) used by the ethnic neighbors of the subtribes in the Ibo interior was ONLY used to collectively refer to the people east of the river Niger by the missionaries and then the British Colonialists from about 150 years ago, BUT it was ONLY after 1900 that the term "IBO" became widely used officially in books, newspapers and other documentation. Prior to that period, the different subgroups of what is now called Iboland today did not call collectively refer to themselves as Ibo (Igbo) BUT by the names of their individual groups or clans such as Ngwa, Mbais, Owere, Awka, Abam, Ohafia, etc. 1 Like 2 Shares

Nyamiriflathed:In addition to the ABOVE post: 1] "Egungun" is a pure Yoruba word for a "Masquerade" & is spelled as "Egwugwu" in Igala. 2] "Oma/Omo" is a pure Yoruba word for "Child" & is spelled as "Oma" as well in Igala. 3] "Ogun" is the Yoruba word for "Medicine" & is spelled as "Ogwu" in Igala. 4] "Ogun" is another Yoruba word based on the use of diacritical marks for "War" & is spelled as "Ogwu" in Igala as well. 5] "Ifa" is Yoruba for the "Yoruba divination" & is spelled as "Ifa" in Igala as well which in Ibo corrupted to "Afa." 5] "Osu" is the Yoruba word for "Month" & is spelled as "Ochu" in Igala. 6] "Ogede" is a Yoruba word for "Banana" & is spelled as "Ogede" as well in Igala. 7] "Ona" is a Yoruba word for "Road" & is spelled as "Ona" as well in Igala. For example, the FULL name of the Igala cultural capital "Idah" is "ONA IMUDA" but shortened to Idah emphasizing that the "ROAD was BLOCKED" due to the river Niger presence for the early migrants into what is now the Igala cultural capital, hence they had to settle in what eventually became IDAH or "ONA IMUDA." NO doubt, the part Yoruba ancestral lineage influence in the metamorphosis of Igala in the last 700 years CANNOT be ignored because just like the Itsekiris, Igala is a Yoruboid language with 65% mutual intelligibility with Yoruba language. Other words in Igala LARGELY come from Idoma according to linguists and it must be emphasized based on the 2017 interview that the late Attah of Igala Michael Ameh Oboni granted to Sunday Punch newspaper that the historic Igala ancestry (going back to over 500 years ago) consists of a migrant group of people from Wukari now in Taraba State who moved along the river Benue and met/fused with a significant number of Yorubas and Edo at the river Niger confluence and Idah axis. It's NOT surprising that Yoruba words feature prominently in Igala language (due to the Yoruba bloodlines in Igala) and with the conquests of Northern Iboland and the presence of Igala settlements in Northern Enugu State and Anambra State with further influences as far as the Igala-associated communities of Ebu, Asaba, Okpanam, Onitsha, Illah, etc, these Yoruba language-derived words found their way into modern Ibo lexicon. That's a historical FACT. So, it's NOT historically TRUE that Yorubas, Ibos, etc, split from one single Niger-Congo family as WRONGLY claimed by some uninformed writers because the 2 groups are ancestrally very distinct (with Yoruba religious cosmology being based off of Ifa and Ibo religion being Odinani for instance), BUT these few words of direct Yoruba origin in Ibo got in as LOAN WORDS or borrowed words within the last 600 years of Igala presence via the Anambra, Northern Enugu, Northern Delta States areas where you have indigenous Igalas or Igala descendants and historical Igala political and cultural influences from centuries past. 8] "Omi" in Yoruba language meaning "water" is exactly "Omi" in Igala. 9] The numbers and letters of the alphabet in Yoruba are nearly the same in Yoruba and Igala languages as well except for the few dialect variances, hence confirming and affirming that Yorubas and Igalas are historically and ancestrally related to one another via the Kogi State land bridge leading right into the indigenous Igala-associated communities in Anambra, Northern Enugu, and parts of Delta North. The Longman Ibo-English Dictionary (co-written by a White European scholar and an Ibo scholar decades back) CLEARLY states in the attached screenshot BELOW under the "EGUSI entry" that the Yoruba word [or "YOR"] EGUNSI (EGUSI) is a LOAN WORD used in Ibo lexicon and is spelled as "Egwusi." Other Yoruba words loaned into central Ibo lexicon are Akara, Moyin-Moyin [originally spelled as Moyin-Moyin BUT sometimes shortened to Moin-Moin by Yorubas], Elubo [Elubo is the standard Yoruba name for any of the 3 FLOURS got from Yam, Cassava, Unripe plantain flour], Oka [corn], Agbada [traditional wear], Ifa [Ifa divination], Iba [fever], Keke [bicycle and tricycle] etc. 1 Like 2 Shares

IyfeNamikaze:Leave Reno Omokri out of your rants and get your historical facts right. This pure historical information is from advanced archival materials I've been privy to from different credible sources for decades now as as a well-read and internationally well-traveled man. Reno himself doesn't always get his FACTS right (especially when he is not in the best frame of mind due to stress or fatigue), BUT as a UK-educated lawyer, he MUST be commended for always apologizing whenever he is wrong and he indeed does a damn good job of presenting a logical sequence of FACTS and events backed by rock solid sources for further verifications. Second, the screenshots of the internationally respected and advanced books on the Igala conquests of parts of what is now called Iboland and the derogatory origins of the name Ibo (Igbo) denoting a slave of the bush area or ONIGBO in Igala, IGBON in Benin-Edo and ONYE IBO (IGBO) to the Onitsha and Asaba folks were CLEARLY ATTACHED to my NL post which you quoted. Take the time to read through those book screenshots again. Third, just so you know, I have decades of advanced historical knowledge (before many here were even born), so, I ONLY provide accurate historical information backed by credible EVIDENCE and book sources and NOT assumptions like these unschooled young posters and propergandist do online. It is what it is. Read More on the Igala Conquests of Northern Iboland right up to the Asaba area right BELOW VIDEO of Catholic Bishop: Attah of Igala Conquered Northern Igboland (Nsukka) All The Way To Asaba =>https://www.nairaland.com/8089723/catholic-bishop-attah-igala-conquered =>
Ibo-Igala Wars =>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo%25E2%2580%2593Igala_wars Fourth, the Iconic book, "The Igbo-Igala Borderland" [written by an American academic who taught at University of Nigeria, Nsukka back from the 1960s to the 1970s] whose book cover screenshot I also ATTACHED earlier to my post ABOVE CLEARLY states that: "When, in the late eighteenth century, the Igala CONQUERED the indigenous Igbo, they gained and held social control through monopoly of certain..." =>https://sunypress.edu/Books/T/The-Igbo-Igala-Borderland2 The Igala conquests and colonisation of Northern Ibo areas of Northern Enugu especially Nsukka including parts of Anambra (and Northern Delta State) ALSO led to people from these conquered area being sold as SLAVES. The Igala war machine during the Ibo-Igala Wars didn't extend to other parts of what is now the South East. =>https://www.facebook.com/nigeriahistoryupdate/posts/igala-colonisation-of-northern-igbo-communities-1450-18th-centurythe-igala-mega-/ Fifth, again, the screenshots of the advanced book sources I ATTACHED CLEARLY state the accurate and ORIGINAL etymology of the word Ibo (Igbo) which has condescending and derogatory connotations as used by the neighbors of the people now called Ibo unknown to some younger Ibos today who have NO knowledge of the original meaning which means SLAVE or OUT CAST from the bush. This is why the Igala call slaves "ONIGBO," the Benin-Edos used the term "IGBON" and the Asaba and Onitsha refered condescendingly to those in the Ibo interior as "ONYE IBO" (IGBO) because East of river Niger was source of SLAVES for them before 1900 and even well after 1900. Igala being a Yoruboid language (with 65% mutual intelligibility with Yoruba language) has the pure Yoruba word "IGBO" in the word Igala word "ONIGBO" which means bush or forest in Yoruba BUT further means a "slave got from the bush" in Igala hence the derogatory name for slaves, "ONIGBO." The name Ibo (Igbo) as used to describe a tribe east of river Niger had NO positive connotation of ANY kind at all! Ngwa, Owere, Awka, Mbaise, etc, were the names used by the subgroups to individually describe themselves until the advent of the missionaries and the British Colonialists who began to officially use the same condescending term "Ibo" to describe all the interior tribes that now make up the Ibo tribe of today. It's all a British Colonial creation. These FACTS are CLEARLY emphasized upon in the historical archives. 2 Likes 2 Shares

Akpakomiza2:The now President Bola Ahmed Tinubu lost to the Labor Party guy in Lagos State by just 3000 votes while Tinubu ALSO lost Osun State to Atiku Abubakar of PDP by a narrow margin as well based on internal dissidents in the APC such as former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola. If Aregbesola representing Ilesa axis had stood by Tinubu and NOT had issues with the APC, Tinubu would have won the overall votes in Osun State. The Yoruba Xtians in Lagos too were rooting for Peter because of the perceived "same religion" ticket of the APC and some more, but they forgot that from 1979 to 1984, Lagos State had 2 prominent politicians under the Unity Party of Nigeria as Lagos State Governor and Deputy Governor who were both Muslims in the name of Alhaji Abdulateef Jakande and Alhaji Jafojo and nobody complained. I believe that Tinubu will win the entire West of Nigeria and most parts of Nigeria (but get at least 25% of votes in a few South East States) since it's just 2 years into his administration and more reforms are coming with the already implemented reforms bearing results. All that is needed is to introduce more surveillance and attack drones including advanced satellite tracking technologies and ALSO CLEARLY lower the costs of transportation and food costs with CNG-FUELED haulage trucks, CNG trains according to the plan of Kayode Opeifa, the current NRC boss because CNG is far cheaper than Dangote Petrochemical Refinery petrol and you will see prices drop like heavy stones! This can be achieved in the next 2 years left in government and when you add constitutional amendments to remove all the structural inneficiences that hinder development, the masses will be the ones begging Tinubu to contest for a 2nd-term and even a 3rd-term. The anger of low-income people is understandable though because food prices are high, BUT the CNG trains and the CNG fuel infrastructure being constructed around by NNPCL in Nigeria will reduce the cost of transportation and foods as long as prices are monitored because a lot of greedy Nigerians will NOT want the prices of food items to come down so that they can keep making quick profits off the sufferings of their fellow Nigerians. |

zeyt:1] I appreciate your insights as stated in your post. What specific part of the North are you talking about? The entire 19 states in the Old Northern Nigeria Region? 2] Second, just to be very CLEAR, there's NO policy miscalculations in Tinubu's policies. When you carry out major subsidy removals and economic turnarounds around the world, it usually affects the masses and others. Nigeria was embarrassingly living a LIE and was using the money (millions of dollars) it didn't have to defend the Naira and prop up the exchange rate. The petrol subsidy too was taking away money from key infrastructure and development. A lot of these things are NOT understood by a lot of economic illiterates and functional illiterates. Many past Presidents ran away from removing this highly notorious petrol subsidy (introduced by those corrupt military dictators back in the day and corruption crept into NNPCL) so as NOT to lose elections and Goodluck Jonathan who tried to introduce subsidy removals in 2012 did NOT plan for it properly because there was NO immediate alternative existing new refinery (such as Dangote Petrochemical Refinery in Lagos State) OR a plan to build one until the protests in Lagos, Kano, and other cities against the petrol subsidy removal started! I ALSO remember that some of Sani Abacha's children even imported toxic fuel through their companies into Nigeria back in the 1990s and the cronies of these Military dictators and politicians ALSO CLEARLY benefited from these subsidy scams. SOLUTIONS: Now, a lot of reforms have taken place in the last 2 years and all the States Governors have more money available to them for spending on major projects and the multiple exchange rates have been practically eliminated. Why are some of the Governors lazy and NOT active in stimulating local agriculture like the Kaduna State Governor (and the FG initiatives) has done in Birnin Gwari area where the Fulani bandits menace has been eliminated and the local Kaduna farmers in Birnin Gwari have become Naira billionaires with several sacks of agro-produce harvested after 10 years of NOT farming in Birnin Gwari. I have videos of interviews done on TVC'S "Journalists Hangout" with Babajide Kolade-Otitoju who is from Kogi State but speaks Hausa language showing the hard working farmers happily revealing how much the have individually made in billions in Birnin Gwari. It's amazing when you have a dynamic Governor like Governor Uba. Agriculture and security are key BUT agriculture and food security, including general security from banditry are localized issues and this is where the Governors are messing up by protecting the LARGELY Fulani bandits because most of the far Northern State Governors are Fulanis Governing Hausaland! Angry Hausawas themselves are complaining in videos that foreign Fulani bandits are killing them and taking over their ancestral lands in Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, etc. The Governors of these indigenous Hausa States are Fulanis and they are NOT taking urgent action to stop this nonsense that has spilled into Benue and Plateau. ONLY an urgent constitutional amendment under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will put an end to this nonsense so that the indigenous Hausas (who are over 80 million and more than the Fulas who are NOT more than 24 million in the whole of West African) can have MORE geopolitical leverage and powers to stop the Fula political hegemony which is dragging the North and Nigeria backwards. Period. 3] Third, because CNG fuel is about N250 per standard cubic feet of gas and cheaper than Dangote Petrochemical Refinery petrol cost of over N800, CNG fuel is what will crash the price of food items and transportation thereby making it cheaper and easier for the Talakawas or masses to feed well. The current Nigerian Railway trains are also about to undergo refitting into CNG-fueled trains so that trains can be used to move people and food items cheaply. It however takes some time for the construction of the CNG gas pipelines and CNG infrastructure to be finished BUT once they finish before Tinubu and Shetima finish their 4 years, the full CNG infrastructure and stations through NNPCL and other private investors such as NIPCO would be ready. NNPCL just launched the FIRST EVER CNG project in the North East of Nigeria last week in addition to some already existing in Lagos State. By 2026, Dangote too has planned that all the Dangote trucks will fully run on CNG as reported last week on this Website. This will crash the price of Dangote products as well from cement, to pasta, to rice, etc, and more because transportation haulage costs is what makes food costs to be high aside from a few factors like insecurity. I hope you will benefit from some of my deep insights here and maintain positivity till people begin to see the effects of these reforms by the governments. Cheers. |

Lithiumite:Culture is what defines you anywhere you are on Earth and of course moderation in cultural practice is key. I love the robust or strong responses you all gave on this thread to that young guy questioning his cultural heritage and the once in a year Ojude Oba ceremony. Very succinct answers. |

Putindbutt:Impressive. Indeed, I've been aware for some years now that WAMCO has a dairy milk collection program in Oyo State where Yoruba and non-Yoruba cow owners have made profits from milking their cows and WAMCO agents buy fresh cow milk from them every morning. Diary milk has more long-term value for the cow owners than selling just beef. |
