You couldn't have said it any better. Reason why trade trumps education of men in their domain.

WizardOfNG:
It all stems from the value system in ala Igbo where it is criminal to not be a "money na water" bonafide braggart.

You are not loved unconditionally there, not even by parents, but according to the wealth you have and can share. No matter how you gained it.

Meaning a lot of parents and families even codedly nudge their young men and women towards crimes that can bring quick mansion-building wealth.

Confirmation of the above comes from how the average person from the region talks on this forum.

They all brag based on wealth they claim to possess, simply to demean others, because that is what they have been brought up to believe, i.e richer is better, in their society where shallow materialism and greed is encouraged while morality and virtues are disregarded.

Criticise Obi and the first thing that comes out of their mouth is "he has more money than ten generations of your family combined" or "he can buy your entire Village". Abeg, when has wealth ever being the only measure of a man as they alone assume?

Good luck to them because they need it since the problem is fundamental yet they cannot appreciate that.

Chai, chidi and chukwuemeka............

This one is a biblical plague. How can we remove this generational curse from our nation.

How?

This is a statement of fact.

A blind man can never see. So how can some blind men see the good PBAT is doing.......

Koposicant

esnbrutality:
Don't quote me with senselessness

Some people suffer too many illusions......

Once they sight the faintest glimmer of false hope, hallucinations starts.

Tinubu is putting his house in order like the opposition party is doing......is that not politicking.

Guess you want PBAT to fold his arms and wait for electoral victory.

What is clear is power must stay in the south for another 4 years. All the clandestine moves by Atiku and the midget will come to naught.

Sensible people in the north knows this and they are aligned for a return of power in 2031.

Know this and have peace.

😁

When I saw TheNation newspaper as the source link, I quickly skipped. The days of the media superiority of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway propaganda machinery are long over. Why are they jittery? Tinubu even sent Nentawe, the APC chairman to go beg Pantami yesterday in the middle of the night. He's now desperately chasing after the Buhari bloc after alienating all of them. Lessons will be learnt.

Na Tinubu cause this one too. How can a zoo like this develop.....it is finished for this country. If na Abacha, he fir send sergeant Rogers after all the saboteurs

Some people are not normal at all.

Drugs kill more people than guns all over the world. Aside from destroying the lives of drug addicts, it equally kills a lot of people. I guess drug related deaths mean nothing to you.

Fake and expired medicines does the same thing. Kill people that normally wouldn't die.

I wont be surprised if some of you here are into this business obviously. Just waiting for the day you will be caught. And the headline will be the same!

bigpicture001:
One thing I noticed is that the whole nations youth commits crime.. but each zone has its type of crime..

So when nairalanders rate this type of crime more than that type of crime.. they are just being deluded..

Crime is crime.. eve if u want to check it... There was an addiction and a demand and these guyz makes the supply, just that what they supplied is illegal...

It's even worse when innocent very hard working ppl are fleece of their entire life saving leaving g victims confused, broke and suicidal..

No one is trying to justify crime here.. but if u must critically look at it.. these igbo guyz are not stealing , they are just supplying banned drugs.. which they didn't force the users to buy..

But u see wire fraud...? That one sends victims straight to death

Nigerian national of I G B O decent was arrested for dealing drugs. This should be the proper headline. Stop confusing other country’s citizens.

If dem catch 10, be sure say 9 of them na my development brothers and sisters.

How can anybody see any good in this country. It is not positive for;
1. The blind to see
2. The lame to walk
3. The deaf to hear
4. The wicked to enter the kingdom of God.

So you can never see the positive strides PBAT is making. Never.

esnbrutality:
Go and read and see the Government that brought GSM. While Obasanjo was busy flying around the world. Atiku ran the Government effectively.

He did a lot in making sure that NIGERIA was elevated in some sectors.

What has TINUBU done? With all the money annexed from LAGOS he is still doing same in Abuja.

Tell me what TIMUBU has done that has directly affected your existence personally in a positive manner?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Tinubu is a class act of failure.

Coalition of losers headed by a serial loser supported by a religious luna. tic.

It seems the size of the coalition keeps diminishing after series of denials and rebuttals by the so called decampees

You know that our developers are very good at twisting the tale to sooth their ego or propaganda or victimhood.....whichever is convenient for them.

Buhari rejected Tinubu on the basis of Muslim/Muslim ticket but gave him a blank check to present whomever he wants. He toyed with some names like Wale Edun, Adams Oshiomole and Prof before Aregbe and Akande made a very strong case for Prof Oshibajo. Baba Akande has narrated this in his book and interview.

Even if PBAT turns the fortunes of the country around, some of our people from yeast are still sad.

Dapson73:
Even when Tinubu came out to narrate how he picked Osinbajo asb Buhari's vice during his campaign in 2023 which predates the slogan "Emi lo'kan" in Ogun state publicly on camera even when Buhari was alive and was the President, nobody came out to debunk his narratives.

But here you are today, twisting the gist from the beer parlour gossip to mislead the lazy obedients.

Continue so'gbo.

PBAT is in very good terms with Prof. Even though he goofed by contesting against his benefactor.

Rauf is a traitor who came out openly to bite the hand that fed him. The infamous interview where he openly abused PBAT is the lowest he could go. Let him reap his reward.

The life president narrative is the creation of jelly Rufai to scaremonger the north after realising the coalition is DoA.

Even if PBAT handover to a stooge in 2031, everyone knows the Presidency is so powerful that he will be cut loose. Ask IBB/Abdulsalami after installing OBJ. Ask OBJ after installing YarAdua and later on Jonathan. Tinubu contributed immensely to the victory of Buhari and he was also sidelined.

So make una try fly another kite. This one too is DoA. 😁

AMINDA:
Look at Osinbajo and Rauf Aregbesola doing numbers in all categories. Today they term them betrayers and demons because they have refused to continue to be subservient to the one who wants them encapsulated and shackled for 20 years and counting. They added value to Tinubu's government. We can't say the same of the sycophants and incompetents he has gathered around himself today. The only man who ever ruled a state and refused to let go. Yet, they deny that he won't attempt to do the same to Nigeria.

It shows this guy is very result oriented. And you can see how well the top 6 candidates have performed. And he continue to rely on them. Even though the 3rd on the list has gone rogue and turned into the judas of our time. He has been replaced by the brilliance of Adelabu, Adedeji and Umahi. Don't mention the Mr Fantastic Fashola.

Those in the bottom 3 are very much forgotten in the annals of history.

The beauty of this man is that those born with 8red can never see the light. They prefer the agalu failure as their kinsman. Or better still, the desperado serial looter, sorry loser, Atifku.

Story for the gods.......tell that to the marines. Its the turn of the south, till 2031 sai Atiku.

Atiku's newspaper on the prowl for negative news. The new agbotikuyo of the north.

Foreign reserve hits $42 billion highest in 6 years, they are not interested. Record GDP growth of 4.3%. Mba, not amused.

50 something security personnel died protecting innocent civilians from their home grown bandits, that is their editorial.

Make una continue.....

The legends of my omoluabi culture. Carry on sirs......our Evergreens 🙌🙌🙌

In todays money that is $15 billion USD! As bad as Buhari's cabal were, Buhari still got some very solid projects done.

Wetin Jonathan achieve for 6 years? Nothing.....aside the uncompleted Abuja - Kaduna railway then to bribe Hell Rufai and his fanatics without luck.

Daziani, Stella Odua, Dasuki, Madam Patience were just running their own government within government.......

The midget is in severe pains. After boasting that by March 2027 his coalition of bandits would have taken over the country....to PBAT will come 3rd, to he cannot see a pathway to victory. The man is pains.....even the billions of dollars he has looted is not enough to placate him.

Dan boro ba!

Wetin Musa no go see for gate. This midget just like to trend......

Oya now, bring in your coalition of bandits.....

If not for Soludo which development dey for orka.........

We call them developers because they will build houses, mansions for inside village. No road, no water, no electricity, zero infrastructure but they are developers of their own compound. So they start beating their chest as developers of the world.

😄😄😄

Justiceleague1:
They don't want development but you still accuse them if developing Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand iragbiji...😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is old news....the cabal in Buhari 's government were 100% behind Atiku. The Tunde boy even openly canvassed for Atiku after he openly rejected PBAT. Heard somewhere he was asking to be made Chief of Staff to Tinubu which was turned down.

Is it Kingibi or Mallami, or Mai Kano, or Lawan Daura.....they already struck a deal with Atiku for 2023 election, yet they lost!

Another painful loss is loading.....afterall Atiku na regular customer.

Some ipob faithful will be jumping up and down now foaming for mouth say their own don better.

See nose, see flat forehead......this one na biblical curse.....

Haba!

The midget and his coalition of failures think otherwise.....fuel scarcity is gone forever, crude production has recovered, naira is stable again, FX reserve is at all time high in over 10 years, infrastructure project all over the land, university student loan is seamlessly done....

But no, they would rather Atifku come and finish the treasury......and he hasn't finished spending the one he stole from 1999 to 2007........

I shake my head.

The midget of Kaduna, Malami, Ameachi, Aregbe....all part of that government will never mention this nor admit collective failure.

Coalition of naira bandits.....

Waiting for their grand induction of Emiefele into the ADC Hall of Fame!

The yamirin group will run away from here.....

Any positive news about Lagos and PBAT brings sorrow into their lives. They want sadness not progress and development.

Shior

If you see the road to his village, you will weep. He cannot go and drag his governor talk less of his local government chairman.

People that came to Lagos with night bus will not let us hear word.
