know Ladipo market or any section of it is called Aguiyi Ironsi International market and I've been a regular there for God knows how long.

The change of name so long as it doesn't affect the profit the dealers make I'm sure won't bother them. The market is in Yoruba land, call it whatever you wish, my concern is my profit.

Tinubu2027Agend:
Chatgpt helped you small.

Take care.

Even if ChatGPT did the job for him, the analysis is spot on.

Peterobiisathie:
This foolish nonentity man will not stop to be wasting his stolen money

See pains and anguish written all over you just because of a man like you. You sure you'll survive the heart attack?

God1000:
Just look at the kind of people Donald trump is appointing, people with questionable character, very shameful

That's a functional system unlike in Nigeria where Matawalle has refused to resign design all the allegations of terrorism financing against him.

Imagine the person Tinubu made Senate president: a Godswill Akpabio facing corruption charges with the EFCC.

Tinubu himself is a known drug lord,an identity thief and certificate forger but he's presiding over the affairs of more than 200 million people.

yarimo:
Since the LGA chairman is from the east, the appointment is ok

This isn't about east or west. What's wrong must be condemned and what's good commended regardless of where it happens

It's good to have a special assistant on agriculture given the imperative of agricultural development on national development but I think one person could've done the job so as to cut cost.

And Taraba wants to pay only 70k with no arrears, see govts that mean well for the people.

Shadomaan7:
The number of SSA and SA are not what matters, it's the effectiveness of the team that should be the focus.

Both matter my brother. How do you appoint 13 persons to do virtually the same job when you're supposed to be cutting down on cost? Don't forget all these persons will have hordes of assistants of their own with vehicles bought at the tax payers expense attached to their offices.

Come to think of it, what's Tinubu doing that needs being communicated to the public? Tinubu is a huge drain on our scarce resources.

Shadomaan7:
The above is a good news. We are servicing our debts.

How did the monies borrowed impact on your life?

The interesting thing about Trump is that he knows what he wants for every sector and he appoints into offices people who share his vision and have plans for those sectors.
This is unlike Nigeria where politics and patronage are the deciding factors, where a president appoints people he doesn't even know just because he was told they contributed #1 million to his election.

Nigeria will never develop maximally until ministers are appointed into areas they have expertise in. You don't appoint a lawyer into the Ministry of Power when there are well trained electrical engineers and expect growth neither will appointing a journalist into the Ministry of Education when they are well trained and competent educationist prosper growth.

NgeneUkwenu:
Peter Obi is just a useless man! Anything he touches, gets rotten.

Like he touched you and you rot away.

Exousiang01:
This one is another airhead.
Are you saying that providing infrastructure to help the police work effectively is useless.
Equiping them, building new and renovating old police stations, revamping the fire service, even Oyo state asked LASEMA for support during the last explosion. All that support from the state government to make sure the security agencies work efficiently is useless....

You obviously have no brain inside that your skull..... Absolutely nothing in that head of yours...

Tell me about any security agency that can work effectively without infrastructure and proper equipments let's start from there....

Its almost the end of the year and I have not seen anyone say anything this stewpeed in 10months

You're even more dense than I thought originally and it will do you a lot of good if you stop responding to comments and only read and learn.

Nowhere in my comment did I say the provision of military infrastructure is useless except that's what your peanut sized brain told you I wrote. My point is that the powers to control and command the use of those infrastructure lies outside the state govt houses but at Abuja and so excusing the FG of the deteriorating security in Nigeria is not only phoolish but inconsiderate.

Allow state govts establish and fund their own security outfits and then you can blame them.

justtoodark:
can you believe what he just let out of his ibo mouth again....??

is this guy even a politician or a comedian....
anyways nigeria has many people ready to take over your position when you leave....

You would rather listen to a Tinubu who tells you to stay back in Nigeria and not japa when he himself runs away to Europe at the slightest body discomfort. Tinubu tells you to stay in Nigeria and not seek greener pastures but he and his croonies have cut all the pastures leaving you with dry and dead leaves.
Pray tell me what's in this country for the common man. What opportunities are here for one? I have a friend who runs a barbing saloon. In the last one month, he hasn't made up to 20k because of the constant grid collapse and high cost of fuel. So when he gets the opportunity to better his life outside the shores of this country, you'll advice him not to.

Obi has advised as someone who loves you, it's up to you to take it.

Exousiang01:
You have been known to be brainless thus far on NL

Let's Lagos for example.
You will say the FG controls security agencies but almost every police vehicle in Lagos command is donated by the Lagos state Security Trust fund. They do that for the military also. I don't think there is any fire service as efficient as the Lagos state fire service. I don't think there is any Emmergency management agency as efficient as LASEMA, aside bribes even the Road safety is not as effective as LASTMA.
These are security agencies that are pushed by the Lagos state government....

Looking at your lame take on Food.
The FG is not meant to provide food.
It is the responsibility of the state governors to do so, that is why the FG doesn't have land.
If you have ever bought a plot of land you will know that the state governors are the custodians of the land.
Questions, What has your state done with the land in its custody to boost food supply?

Look at the Northern states maximizing their lands and going into Agriculture, Zamfara, Kebbi, even Lagos that doesn't have Land is farming rice. Yet the Igbo man is blaming FG for his hunger.
Later you say an Igbo president will change Nigeria, Why have the same Igbo leaders not transformed Igbo land. Why did your brothers still enter Night bus to Lagos and arrived this morning in search for greener pastures. Let those your great leaders change your region first let's see

You dept of your ignorance of basic economic is even more alarming.

But you are from the land of the rising sun where people don't believe they can ever produce anything but import everything. Else reading your comment you said the countries that "used to supply us beans and corn are now buying from us" You are angry that we moved from importing beans to exporting beans?

Now it is only a complete illiterate that banks the value of a currency only on the exchange rate.
Have you ever compared the purchasing power of the Naira to that of her neighborss.
I am sure you don't even know what purchasing power is...

Let me explain that part. a bottle of Pepsi is N500 in Nigerian Naira, when you go to Benin Republic the same Pepsi is sold for 250Cefa
But when you convert 250Cefa to Naira it is not N500, it is N800, which means the bottle of Pepsi you are buying N500 in Nigeria is sold for N800 in the neighboring countries you are talking about.....

You are just a Dumbo as always.

When someone asked you to get a brain, you saw it as insult. Honestly, you need a brain because your defence of the FG's incompetence is very watery and reels of intellectual deficiency.

Your comment about Lagos and the Nigerian Police shows you don't know how the Nigerian Police and indeed other security agencies operate. Sanwo-Olu can donate 1 billion vans to the police but at the end of the.day, he doesn't control even a DPO. He and other governors are only CSOs of the states only in name, practically they are as useless as P in Psychology. Remember when ex governor Ifeanyi Uba wept over the phone because he wasn't allowed to speak with the IG when Fulani herdsmen were to attack Uzor Uwani in 2016 or so. Why does a CSO need to get Abuja's permission before police in his state can be deployed?
Think about that.

Again, it's obvious you don't know the impact of monetary and fiscal policies on the economy. No matter how productive a state is, if the policies aren't favourable,, its efforts will be a waste. The FG controls that.

Let me not waste more time on you cos it seems you're perpetually uneducable.

LivingSage:
I can't shut up until I tell the World Obi is a criminal

Well the world knows who between Obi and Tinubu is a criminal, so they will just laugh at your stupiditttyyy. A criminal is he who forfeited $460k in drug money to the Fed's in the US. A criminal is he who stole someone's else identity and forged certificate.
That criminal is certainly not Peter Obi.

trutharena:
They should enjoy their criminal president.

Same we are enjoying our criminal and ineffectual president here in Nigeria.

NaijaMemes:
Trump is likely to win. America is going down the drain.

The way Nigeria have with a convicted drug baron with little to no knowledge of governance as president.
Trump in spite of his flaws is a trillion times better than the Iragbiji ineffectual Buffon at Aso Rock.

SHINJA:
I voted for Peter Obi in 2023 but I will never vote for him again ..

He is a hypocrite, a mad man who talks anyhow ...
No wonder he got an advice from a mad man.

Talks like a woman whose husband refused to pay for the expensive shoes she likes...

Obi thinks that insulting Christians will make the Muslims fall in love with him not knowing that he just ruined his political career of becoming a president..

He Peter Obi can never say the same thing about Muslims because he knows the consequences...

The same Church that campaign for him,the same vigil he attended every night dressing like a cultist in black clothes...

Peter Obi should apologise to Christians or he will never come close to that presidential seat..

God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest..

Real Christians like me know Peter Obi spoke the truth and so don't demand any apology from him.

It's up to you to vote him or vote Tinubu you voted for in 2023. Even if Obi doesn't become president, it won't take anything away from him, it's you that will keep suffering. Obi is already made.

DomPerignon:
Whoever takes your Biafra seriously after several conflicting statements like yours is brain dead.

Inevitably you will get your Biafra with its five Ibo containment states one way or the other and it won't be a matter of choice.

A day will come when Nigerians will take the Ibo question seriously and when that day come , you will get your Biafra by force.

What a load of rubbish. I don't know why the thought of Biafra scares the shit outta you guys. You don't take it seriously, but it's living rent free in your head.

A Briton of Nigerian heritage Kemi Badenoch has just emerged as the leader of the Conservatives n the UK. A Canadian of Nigerian heritage Kaycee Madu is the Vice Premier of one of the Canadian provinces but people are here in Lagos behaving like cavemen.

I don't care though what names you give your streets, non Yoruba will see live on them and make cool money.

"Let the truth be told. The People involved in that so called 1966 “Igbo coup” were:

1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (Midwest Region Igbo)

2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “Why we struck”

3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Western Region – Yoruba).

4. Maj. Ifeajuna (Midwestern Region – Igbo).

5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “The reluctant rebel”.

6. *Lt. Robert (Bob) Egbiko* (Midwestern Region – Ishan).

7. Lt. Tijani Katsina (Northern Region – Hausa/Fulani).

8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Western Region – Yoruba).

9. Capt. Gibson Jalo (Northern Region – Bachama).

10. Capt. Swanton (Northern Region – Middle Belt).

11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Midwest – Urhobo).

12. Lt. Dag Warribor (Midwest – Ijaw)

13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Northern Nigeria -Hausa)

14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Northern Nigeria-Tiv).

The reason for calling the 1966 Coup an Igbo exercise is because the government of Nigeria has refused teaching Nigerian History in our schools. And core North has been busy misinforming Nigerians that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup.

……………………………………….

Yoruba – Igbo fact sheet.

This article has no tribal sentiments. Please add your own facts if you have any. History will always tell us what happened.

1. Azikiwe defeated Awolowo to become the first Nigerian Premier of Western Nigeria (present Southwest plus Edo and Delta States). Awolowo instead of forming Opposition, rather formed Egbe Omo Yoruba and used it to intimidate Yorubas that won election on NCNC platform to cross carpet and join him against Azikiwe. This was the first parliamentary coup in Nigeria.

2. Awolowo from then on, started indoctrination of Yorubas against the “threat of Igbo domination”. That is how the incurable seed of fear of Igbos was sown in the psychic of Yorubas which Yorubas later sold to other groups through Yoruba control of the media for decades.

3. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa , Nigeria ‘s first Prime minister could not tolerate Awolowo’s treacherous and inordinate ambition of acquiring political power by all means and at any cost. So, he threw Awolowo into prison for treason.

4. Samuel Ladoke Akintola who replaced Awolowo as Premier of Western Nigeria tried to destroy Awolowo’s political grip on Yorubaland by forming a party to takeover Western Nigeria in alliance with the Hausa-Fulani oligarch who Awolowo despised as a backward race. Consequently, Yorubaland went ablaze in revolt against Akintola’s plot. Law and order completely broke down in Western Nigeria. Wole Soyinka wore a mask and forced announcers at Western Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation to declare that Akintola’s government was a fraud.

5. Yet, Tafawa Balewa refused to declare state of emergency in Western Nigeria in order to keep Akintola as a proxy for Hausa-Fulani interest. This was the MAIN reason Yoruba graduates in the Army were the brains behind the coup led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu who happened to be Igbo.

6. As Wole Soyinka and even Obasanjo acknowledged, Nzeogwu ‘s coup was widely accepted by a vast majority of Nigerians across regional, religious and ethnic divides. But the dissatisfied Hausa-Fulani oligarchy who had majority in Nigerian Army infantry used their puppets, Yakubu Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma and co to overthrow General Ironsi.

7. In order to win support of Yorubas, Gowon released Awolowo from prison. The Hausa-Fulani knew Awolowo’s fear of Igbo as the only group that stood against his ambition to power. Gowon therefore quickly made a deal with Awolowo which in effect was that power would rotate between the North and the West (Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba) in post war Nigeria if Awolowo convinced Yorubas to join the North in fighting Igbos.

8. The Nigerian Army was consequently split into two divisions: the northern sector division commanded by Hausa-Fulani and the southern sector division, commanded by Yorubas.

9. Lagos, a city built largely by Igbos and were Igbos invested heavily, was also ceded to Yorubas as a State even when there was no Abuja at the time (1967).

10. Awolowo was made Vice Chairman of Federal Executive Council and Finance Minister. All federal government owned banks in Nigeria at the time which included the Central Bank and First Bank, were under Awolowo and Yoruba management. It was a deal Awolowo could not resist. The man was an unscrupulous Machivellian anyway.

11. The Igbos were eventually defeated and Yorubas became champions of nationalism.

12. Awolowo tried to make sure no Igbo man or woman would ever be more than financial destitute let alone have the financial resources to rival a Yoruba

13. To achieve his objective of permanent Yoruba supremacy, Awolowo insisted that every bank account owned by an Igbo, regardless of how much was in it before the declaration of Biafra, would only be replaced with twenty pounds! He instructed Yoruba Permanent Secretaries who took over the Federal Civil service when Igbos left, to make sure that Igbo senior civil servants were not reinstated but to rather retire those who could not be dismissed as rebels. The same policy obtained in the Armed Forces of Nigeria and Police .

14. The Igbo were not only made pariahs but also financial destitutes.

15. Every house and industry in Igbo city was destroyed by war. Schools were closed for 3 years and many were razed to the ground.

16. Awolowo masterminded the indiginization policy by which Yorubas bought over all companies in Nigeria using money readily made available to them by the banks under their control. The Igbos were excluded.

17. They rejoiced and relaxed and complaisantly asked: “How could Igbos ever rear their ugly heads up again”? Sure, if that had happened to Yorubas or any other ethnic group, that would be their end. But as Awolowo rightly feared, we happen to be Ndi Igbo.

18. The shooting war ended 45 years ago and we are still here. We have survived all policy shenanigans contrapted by treacherous Yoruba masterminds and executed by their Hausa-Fulani allies.

19. In frustration, they have realized that we are who we are. Imagine their frustration! Never mind all Yoruba masterminded psychological attacks on Igbos disparaging us in any way they can.

20. Yes, Federal government policy has made them the tycoons of oil and gas, telecommunications, insurance and manufacturing. Oh, their Hausa-Fulani cum military allies gave Nigeria to Obasanjo for 8 years in keeping faith with their alliance.

21. Bola Tinubu is struggling for Awolowo mantle by forming an alliance of etho- religious jingoistic to ensure power keeps rotating between Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani. Where is the position of the Igbo and other tribes in Nigeria.

THAT IS WHY IGBOS WHO EXPERIENCE ALL THE ABOVE INJUSTICES THINK THAT BIAFRA IS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER.

HOWEVER, MY TAKE IS THAT THIS SHOULD MAKE OUR IGBO LEADERS FOCUSED, AND FIGHT FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THEIR KINSMEN, NOT ONLY FOR THEIR OWN POCKETS.

Are you amongst those poor people?

You're even dumber than I thought. Go to bed please.

What's wrong with Wike for goodness sake? Does he own Rivers State?
Rivers State have local council chairmen duly elected by the people and their allocations should go to them.

That said, if Rivers people allow Wike to cow them, then non of them deserve my respect.

helinues:
This can never be a propaganda as na vindicated message from the unknown group. The opposition from hell are ready to swallow this with all their hearts without questioning

Do you need Mo Ibrahim to tell you that Nigeria is poorly/badly governed? Mo Ibrahim Foundation just repeated what everyone (except the Batidiots living in denial) knows.
Tell me which of the metric or indices where Nigeria is doing exceedingly well. Is it rule of law which is only obeyed in breaches by the govt? Is it security? Nigeria is one of the worst place to live in today as a result of the ineptitude and inefficiency of particularly the APC govt? Is it food security or human right issues?

You may support the govt which is your right, but it isn't your right to lie to the govt that they are doing well when you know they are not.

Koralords:
If kebi can pay 75k what excuse does abia state gov have

If Kebbi can pay 75k, Tinubu who gets almost 55% of the Federation's revenue has no excuse paying just 70k, how about that?

hkidola00:
my message to igbo people
Reading you guys comment on nairaland calling Yorubas,demons,ewedu gobblers,gbegiri munchers and other derogatory or funny like remarks name just because obi didn't win...just know you are loosing more votes from yorubas in the future even if we dont vote for tinubu in the future,because I a Yoruba man voted for obi including many of my families and friends in the last election because I don't believe in tinubu,but I come online and see insults to our tribe here and there....
If this continues,I will personally campaign against any ibo man coming forward to contest any election again....before you quote me,know that I've been on nairaland since 2014,long before most of y'all got an Android phone

Who cares who you campaign for or against? You guys always gaslight the Igbo and think you can get away with it. Have you Yoruba guys not been insulting the Igbo because they voted against the worst president in Nigeria's history?
Is there any name you haven't called the Igbo and Peter Obi for exercising their civic right?

Let me even ask you, has Tinubu's govt made your life better than that of an average Igbo? Did Buhari better the life of an average northerner? Isn't his North West region the most endangered in the country today?

VinnyBaba:
How come Nobody invite Buhari for Events?

Is he not an Ex President like Obasanjo and Good luck?🤨

When we say Its APC that bought Calamity upon Nigerians,
Some Idiots will be getting Angry.

Invite Buhari to do what? They invited people who have positive things to contribute and not empty heads.
When Tinubu steps down as president, you can be sure he won't be invited to such gathering of intellectuals because he's even more dense and empty than Buhari.

helinues:
That must be incompetency of President Tinubu reflecting in Cuba

Countries have been having challenges and always deal with it, but in Nigeria, the so called opposition are expecting overnight miracle to solve decades old problems

What opposition? Didn't Fashola then in opposition or speaking for the opposition ask Nigerians to vote out PDP and Jonathan and have light in 6 months?

APC have had close to 10 years to solve those decades old problems but have made them worse. Tell me which area of our national life has improved under APC: is it the economy, security, fight against corruption, energy supply, food security, social cohesion and national unity? Just tell me what they have done to improve on what they inherited?

And this shit here is worthy of frontpage? How low Nairaland has sunk.

muykem:
Peter Obi statement confirmed federal government stand that IPOB is a terrorist organisation and also clear the doubt of the west concerning the group. Non state actors are group of people with different political agenda and since IPOB is the only group in that category in South east, then they are responsible for the killing of the crew according to Peter Obi. Interestingly igbo want federal government to release the man behind the deadly group.

If only you know what non state actors mean, you wouldn't have made this unintelligent post. Any entity that's not the State exercising some level of influence is described as a non state actor.

Peter Obi is correct to have described the killers of the journalist as a
non state actors because they are not working for the state but for their own interests.
