Seun:
Dear Igbo People,

I sincerely apologize for allowing a toxic political banner advert which said, "Lagos can never be run from Anambra; go and vote" to run on Nairaland for several hours on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

The mischievously worded banner advert appears to have been part of an ethnically divisive political campaign aimed at securing Lagos State for the ruling party by instilling fear in Yoruba people, making them believe that Igbo people intended to "take over" Lagos State.

Such ethnically divisive political campaigns have no place in a forward-thinking democracy, and for this reason, the ad should have been taken down instantly. No harm was intended, but my lack of forethought about the ethics of that type of advert led to a disappointing outcome.

We should have had a clear policy against accepting negative and ethnically divisive ads on Nairaland, we should have communicated it to all advertisers, and we should have taken down any advert that violated that policy instantly. This will all be in place before the next election.

We made almost N16,000 from the ad. We will double it and donate it to victims of political violence in Lagos.

Please, do NOT give up on Nigeria. The times are challenging, but TOGETHER, we will overcome.

Sincerely,
Seun Osewa.

You're a fucking pussy

I thought they said he was drenched in blood. His singlet is still sparkling

All is fair in love and war.

In war, there's never a monopoly of sorrow, tears and blood on either side.

🤢🤮

Long story short, the slowpoke no get savings.

I am undergraduate In Futa and I'm desperately seeking for a part-time job to make life easier in school.

I saw a poster on the street displaying how part-time job workers are needed then I thought God has answered my prayers

I messaged them and they told me to come today by 8:00 with my qualifications. wetin pain me pass nah say I no even sleep well for night (I just dey pray say make God let make dem accept me)

Naso I trek go the location this morning only to meet dem Neo life.

In as much as I was disappointed, I kept my composure cuz all eyes was on me. After millions of motivational talks and insults on our parents and their financial status, they told us to pay for registration fee (about twenty something k) I told them I only have 5k in my acctount which is actually for my upkeep, they told me to invest it, that was when I started feeling suspicious.

I told them I can't do trans and I don't have an atm card, a lady said she would follow me to bank to make the transfer,( meanwhile I was already looking for escape route)

Even with the crowd in bank the lady insisted that we should wait.

When it got to our turn the man said we can't transfer money to other banks , I told the lady I'm going to transfer it when I get home buh she asked me to wait for her that she wants to collect a Uba acct no. From the oga.
As she commot like this naso I japa
Kindly share your experience if you've encountered this guys before.

Na God save your dumb ass. You actually let a total stranger follow you to a branch of your bank to withdraw your last cad. No lie, their talk sweet you for ear small. Me when I went there, I must have set the record for the most amount of time a person can say the word NO in the space of 3 hours. Na Dem signal to each other to leave 'the guy' alone. The reason I stayed so long there was because someone I respected took me there herself.

Pele. If everyone left their post to go and pray anytime they wished, would the organization function? Even Aso Rock that has a chapel and mosque have those spaces closed and only opened at the appropriate time. If you're Muslim and have to pray 5 times daily, I advise you adjust.

This should inspire you to embrace entrepreneurship where only you can sack yourself. If you become an employee again tomorrow, next tomorrow, they can fire your silly ass again.

Good luck

@ the bolded.
You ain't seen nothing yet. There are no liberal Muslims. Wait until the overtake the population of the christians.

Eeeeen?? What of your president elect who is a Muslim but the incoming first lady is a known pastor? The president elect also let his daughters practice either of the religions? Your yarns no carry weight abeg

Obi caused everything. Everyone knows how liberal Tinubu is. Obi tried and failed to divide Yorubas along religious lines. Something we Yorubas would never do to one another. After the presidential elections, it became glaring. It was his tactic to garner Yoruba votes. Obi visited all the large capacity churches as campaign ground. Something if Tinubu had done, would have been labelled a terrorist by IPOB. Pastors, infact the Christian Association of Nigeria backed him (They were quick to congratulate the Jagaban, something PO has refused to do).

Yorubas are liberal, naturally. We live in absolute peace regardless of our neighbors' religion. You will never find religious extremism amongst our Muslim brothers. We're sophisticated. Never again will we allow an outsider to cause division in our ranks.

So my guy, it's Igbos that are obsessed with Yorubas. The ratio of Yorubas in Igboland against the ratio of Igbos in Yoruba land backs up my claims. Have a good day

Both the person that suggested and those backing the suggestion are nothing but disillusioned humans. How can you be actively suggesting an impossibility? Man, you people have really lost it. This is a new low.

Hope I will not have to pay before your service.

Ok is Cigarette illegal and why he dey try smuggle Cigarettes go UK sef shey Nigeria Cigarettes sweet pass UK own ni....

It's very costly there

Earthquakes:
Since Igbos have been the problem of Nigeria, don't you think it's a good idea to Tell Tinubu to let them go? With that they will need visa to come to Lagos any SW states and you can use tax and visa restrictions to control them from coming to Lagos or Nigeria as a whole
Don't you think so since they are so so inconsequential and troublesome as you claim

Slavery mentality. You can't give me what's already mine to have

millionaireman:
What are you waiting for in not declaring Oduduwa Republic so that Lagos amenities will start to be freed for you and your kinsmen in Lagos?
Proceeds from crude oil and gas deposits are not all there is for a country to survive.

No we're waiting for Biafra to be approved so that the ammenities go reach us indigenous people

The same PDP you people were clamouring for Obi to merge with to face APC. Lol. You people are irredeemable

Anyway, I sincerely hope development will come to Abia. The amenities of Lagos are already stretched to the max.

seunmsg:
FALZ the pained loser.

Leave them alone. They will still hang Sanwo-Olu's and Tinubu's pictures in their office whether they like it or not

nonhuman:
I don't need to tell you anything the whole world including you knows about Biafra, but for Yoruba nation only 15% of south westerners know about it And over 85% disagrees, believing they can't survive without nigeria. The country kuku no get a recognizable name it wishes to bear

Cry more. The whole world knows Biafra because 80% of the Nigerian criminals in Diaspora come from that tiny dot in a circle

Reelmii:
i really wonder why they think its only APC that have thugs.....their hatred for the party is on a pro max level

No reason am. They always choose the information that favours them and disregard the ones that contradict them

nonhuman:
so yoruba will anex Brazil to form Yoruba nation, ndi ara, empty skullers

You're stupid. I'm only telling you how far out our reach is. Tell me where your own reach.

Teeroyzimma:
if Nlfp.mod dey do his job well, you'll notice that 3 people were killed in Lagos on Saturday, 1 of them being a Labour Party Agent, but agenda must agend

Show us proof

BobbieZion:
Why you no find Igbos tell them...
Shebi your shallow mind tell you say I be Igbo...
Abi you na from wild wild west, that touts infested region.
We don't do hooliganism where I come from.
That one na WAZOBIA problem , not mine.

Where in my comment did I refer to you as Igbo? I'm just telling you what the headline should have read. You sef dey assume say Thuggery is associated with APC alone when LP and PDP combined have the most if you count their online touts

BobbieZion:
He was dragging it with APC touts.

APC giving you nightmares

Headline should have read Igbos kill Igbos as usual

What led to the fight for a Yoruba Nation

Evidently, you guys felt oppressed by the Buhari who would not call his fulani men to order hence killing farmers and invading small settlement and killing people in their numbers.

We know of the Ibarapa killings which Sunday Igboho spoke up against, yet, he got arrested, every Yoruba started pleading for his realize, but guess what, I nevee heard Ja*gaban issue a word, remind if he did

My brother, Yoruba nation is inevitable just like Biafra and Arewa. I'm just telling you that Yorubas are reasonable people. The Yoruba tribe is so vast and sophisticated that it spreads all through West Africa and even across the Atlantic in pockets of different South American countries.
