My only prayer for you is that whatever you laboured for, that you keep for your children, may someone else take it from them. May your children be so dumb to allow someone else to steal their inheritance.

I need a big Amen for you.

But zik won the election... Then there was no tribalism, he brought it into naija

The great Awolowo was more than a prophet of his time.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
Sowemimo was a stooge and house boy for Zik and Ahmadu Bello. He has zero legacy in Nigeria.

How Awolowo, the SAGE, predicted the civil war that led to the death of 3 millions biafrians.

AWOLOWO PREDICTED THE CIVIL WAR

While docked in Justice George Sodeinde Sowemimo's court, charged for treason and awaiting sentence on 11th of September 1963, Awolowo accurately predicted the damage his potential incarceration will cause Nigeria.

Shall I Begin?

"... I personally welcome any sentence you may impose upon me. At this moment, my only concern is not for myself, but that my imprisonment might do harm to Nigeria for three reasons."

First, the invariable services which I can still render will be lost to the country, at least for a season.

Second, there might be a heightening of the present tension which has lasted for fifteen months, and has done incalculable injuries to the economy of the country.

Third, for some time to come the present twilight of democracy, individual freedom and the rule of law, will change or might change into utter darkness.

Awolowo, the Leader, the Prophet, the Idol...

For not allowing Zik to rule over South West region?

Ibechris2:
Awolowo was a con man...

When it comes to vision and administration nobody dead or alive comes close to Pa Obafemi Awolọwọ. We were ahead of alot of European countries in socioeconomic life. Southwest Nigerians were watching TV before countries like Portugal.

Goodvibes007:
Indeed.
Thousands of likes and shares on X.

What an absolute legend!

Awolowo of blessed memory. The great architect of modern Yorubaland.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo GCFR SAN planned to connect the entire country with trains about 70 years ago.

Awo said:

Chief Awolowo on RAILING up Nigeria 72 years ago.

"What the Nigerian economy lacks woefully is mobility."

"Any country that moves sluggishly and slowly will never make it economically. You will carry goods from Kano; it takes two or three days, with the driver languishing on the way."

"So the goods don't arrive in time at places where they will be consumed or badly needed."

"And when they arrive, they are too expensive and so on. "

"We considered a project when l was in the Western Region, and l thought all of us - the three regions at the time, should cooperate to make the scheme work."

"Well, the basis of the scheme, of course, is that the Federal Government will improve the speed of the railway from Kano to Lagos."

"We suggested that instead of bringing cattle on the roof from the North, where they were reared, let them bring the carcass. The refrigerated flesh would arrive in Lagos, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Port Harcourt and so on."

"So, there was a lot of correspondence on it. But not enough interest was shown, and in the end, the thing was abandoned."

“That is a dream we dreamt of in the Western Region around 1953/54"

Stop telling lies. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu won a free and fair election. No one imposed him on us.

Kaido:
Nobody don kill the president even though he was imposed on Nigerians.

APC leaders in Lagos State are the main cause of this... You cannot be imposing your daughters, cousins, girlfriends, sons and wives on people.
You cannot pick someone from Ojodu Berger and impose him or her on people in Mushin. Do you think people who have laboured for the party in that area will be happy?

In my own LCDA, the man they brought upon us his not from our LCDA, they brought him from elsewhere to be our chairman and you expected people here to be happy?

In some area, party leaders changed names of escos, manipulate primaries in favour of their loved ones who has never worked for the party just to come and be enjoying others labours.

UK govt updates official maps: West Bank & Gaza now appear as 'Palestine' no longer 'Occupied Palestinian Territories'

Comes after Britain joined Canada, Portugal & Australia in recognition

Congratulations to you and your family.

OnyeFely:
That's what made my wife go through the knife last month for my boy to come out. Her due dates had passed, yet no labour. So she's induced, still the baby couldn't come, until she's cut, and it happened to that the the cord held his neck. He's a healthy boy now.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
#FreePalestine

I can only join other Nigerians to pray for her. As someone without a passport, I still don't know how Nigerians are coping in the UK.

The news coming from there always is always disturbing. I was on a space of Nigerians in the UK few days ago and I'm just praying for them... How are they managing paying thousands of pounds for papers all the time.

Sincerely I really wish Nigeria National orientation agency will start speaking up... Many Nigerians are fine living in Nigeria but because of online noise about abroad some will resign from government jobs, abandoned flourishing business only to arrive abroad and start developing high blood pressure over bills.

Just last week i heard a gist of a man who sold two buildings just to travel to the US, he has been booted out now and don't know how to start again... Abroad is good with testimonies but I think its not for everyone.

Everything is not politics bro, do you expect him not to return to greet the ex President family again?

Saturnalia:
He simply went there to canvass for votes. If his reforms are truly working, he wouldn’t be jumping from one Northern State to the other in the guise of paying Courtesy Visit.

It is meaningless. You plunged the whole Country into the lowest level of the abyss in every area and now you’re busy running helter-skelter, looking for loyalists.

May Allah Almighty rank Nda/Baba Buhari in the highest place in Al-Jannah Firdaous, comfort Hajia Aishat, his children, family and we the loved ones.

Kudos to you President, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, for standing with the family of your late brother and friend.

I hope Jagaban follow the footsteps of America soon.

LegendHero:
So Tinubu fit take Rufai off air be that abi wetin America don turn to?

Nigeria needs to teach USA what is called free speech.

Even some companies in Nigeria also do periodic fire drilling to train their staffs on little things to do incase of fire outbreak.

ZaddyJ:
Se be na building wey get fire hydrant go fit provide all the aforementioned above. If u see all these victims non of them are average staff but senior staff, who only care about their pocket.

They won’t bother to check if theirs ordinary fire extinguishers or hydrant let alone providing training for all the staffers even though their life is in their pocket.

Over here in California ur job must provide a periodic training to all staff and any staff who refuses the training on fire or other trainings should kiss his or her job goodbye.

Do you mean the tower was recently built during the tenure or era of Baba Buhari and Tinubu?

donmixc:
You should be the last person saying this because you support and defend govt that never works even when you know they’re dishing out bad policies

You are correct, I couldn't watch the video because it is just too disturbing seeing people jumping from the building.

This is where I blame the securities working at the tower.

ajalawole:
everything Na panic in this country bro. No one way even want to use fire escape if there is one in the building.. Have seen people jumping out of a building whereas they should have use the emergency exit.

I still don't get, fire alarm no dey the building? No emergency exits for the building? Are the security officers at the building no get small training on how to tackle fire outbreak before the arrival of the fire service....

Our problem in Nigeria is that we don't investigate incident like this properly and hold the culprits responsible for their negligence.

R. I. P to them all.

Joshua Ogundipe is a very brilliant programmer, for microsoft to have to go to court to bring down his domain network.

I really wish he didn't use his service for phishing, maybe his domain can rivalry Microsoft 365 in Nigeria.

Can you explain what exactly you mean by this?

The U.S. Mission in Nigeria has responded to concerns about the non-refundable nature of U.S. visa fees, stating that the policies align with global practices.

His people will not be happy with this news. They will still blame the Nigeria for not arresting the bandits in the North central and the North West.

This is great news. Let him go and be fanning mazi kanu inside DSS custody.

Obi publicly supported IPOB and their actions. He said they are his neighbours and he knows them. DSS are not working effectively, if not, the statement is enough to know the biggest backbone of the terrorists group.

That one dey part of delusional ladies that wear wedding gown to go pray for husband in a church few days ago. Instead of her to go lool for husband, she's busy running after the lie lie master.

Okoroawusa:
Hahahaha!

So this one na unmarried young girl abi lady?

Stop telling lies to rebrand your fake messiah.
Obi will go around shouting but behind the closed doors he will be lobbying same people.

Kukutente23:
All politicians are desperate. That's why Buhari could smile and swagger at Tinubu whom he despises for his kleptocracy in Lagos while Tinubu also genuflected and took so much BS from Buhari boys. It was a marriage of convenience oiled by desperation for political power riding on the back of their zombies
However, it will be hard to explain how you arrived at Obi being the most desperate politician today

Aisha is a married woman so her husband family fit don hala for her.

Okoroawusa:
It's like girl na PO latest side chick like this? What happened to Aisha?

Peter is the most desperate politician in Nigeria today. A man with no direction, no principle, just going around " Ajara Jara Joro " in Baba Fela's lyrics.

He visited every just for eye service and cheap political gains. The same people Obi and his followers called many names.

If Obi likes, let him go and greet Kanu inside DSS custody, travel to Finland to see Simon Ekpa, still lobby Gentle The Yahoo, and go and greet bandit kingpin, Ado Alero, he will surely labour in vain.

Kaa4:
Tinubu just destroyed the will of a people to be freely governed by whomsoever they choose

Majority of we Nigerians are very greedy, our shout and cry is just because we don't have the opportunity yet. Banks and Telecos operator fought over the charges months ago and someone has to brought up this idea and since both the telecoms and banks are control by greedy people, they accepted the terms and since then no more fight.

Minister of finance, minister of communication, Senators and Reps member incharge of banking affairs and Telecoms are all deaf and dumb simply because they might have some kick back from it.

Polygamy is the solution to all this comedy display. God supported Polygamy with proof in the Holy Quran and thd Holy Bible.
