oduademon:
This is racist you know. The mods are biased. They allow Yiibos to get away with things

what's racist in someone saying Afonja beautiful? I guess that's what amaka means, and if we Yorùbás hails the people of ilorin as, ilorin Afonja... Which is suppose to be praise because if the legendary warrior, then I don't see anything degenerative in being called Afonja, although am from lagos, you just laugh at people's ignorance because they don't have history, they don't even know that ilorin people do not have tribal marks.

keep the news to yourself, we don't care.

Debramaye:
She attended the so called school but lets be honest with ourselves, if a drug addict says he/she attended a school owned by you you'll need to protect your reputation first before parents start pulling their kids out. It's just business

plus she speaks good English too, I was surprised cos most drug addicts in this country are like agbero,

I want the link to the full video please

most drug addicts speaks impeccable English, the school won't have come out to disclaim her that fast if she was a student, is she the only in the school? Her school mates will definitely come out and verify her claims even anonymously.

lekbel09:
Damage control by the school dem no want one Igbo smoking babe to spoil their reputation

if she actually attended that school her school mates will come on social media to state so, you can't do damage control in this social media time that way, besides drug is much more abused by the rich than the poor, drugs know no strata.

mikeywise:
The statement in bold is not true..

put in our oil receipts and you will know they do, if is part of their collectible duties.

Amuocha:
So fowler is going

so you can't see others that are being told to prepare their handover notes? It's only Fowler that you saw, what of Ahmed Ali? Customs rakes In more money than FRIS uno, by the way its hand over notes for all... None is spared and that doesn't necessarily mean they are going.

In hindsight this is just plan stupid exercise, it's the same administration there is no transition in government, I guess this is mainly for the ministers to prepare their handover notes, because I don't see the essence of this exercise if Buhari is not handing over to anyone.

MzErica:
If only he's a flattino he's potor potor ass would have been in sitting in Indonesia jail now for robbery and drug trafficking.

but he is not Yoruba nau.... Half Yoruba i know, but his father is from Rivers... Anyway are you guys not tired of this tribal bashing left and right? There are better things to do or say than that.

This is bad, the tout killed himself not the trailer driver, those touts are in for it, with what they did to this soldier in Ajegunle, this is a national embarrassment for touts to beat our National heroes, if the soldier didn't intervene, they might have killed the trailer driver.

Lagos State government has to do something about this ọmọ ilẹ̀ menace, it's not adding any value to the economy rather its a parasite.

tactius:
Tine to accept facts....SUBSIDY HAS TO GO

Landing cost N180
FuEL IN Nigeria: N142-147
Fuel in Niger Republic: N398
Fuel in Benin (oil producer) N298

Amount of oil we produce in our 3 working refineries 5-6MILLION liters/day
Actual daily need 54 million liters per day
Last refinery was built in 1988

Subsidies aggravate fiscal imbalances, crowd-out priority public spending, and depress private investment, including in the energy sector. Subsidies also distort resource allocation by encouraging excessive energy consumption, artificially promoting capital-intensive industries, reducing incentives for investment in renewable energy, and accelerating the depletion of natural resources. Most subsidy benefits are captured by higher-income households, reinforcing inequality.

Ed Dolan, Why Fuel Subsidies are Bad for Everyone

Sorry Nigeria....but we cannot continue paying scammers, and smugglers, and a few rich guys millions of dollars for cheap prices...when there is a better way out of Egypt.

never knew Benin republic is a fuel producer, when they increased it to 145 they said no more subsidies, this is a quagmire, Nigerian government want international price of crude oil to rise, so that they can have more funds for budget, same government want to keep the NNPC, refineries, keep inflation low, and control the value of the Currency.

How on earth can you do that? Eat your cake and have it at the same time?

Sell the refineries, people keep on comparing it the the sales of old NEPA but it's not that's comparing Apples and mangoes, they are not the same thing, the Discos will enjoy monopolies and they have to be regulated by the government,
Nigeria major problem is out flow of foreign currencies, anytime MTN remits dollars to its parent company, our naira takes a hit for it, the volatility in the interest rate is killing businesses, you can't make plans on something that is not stable to an extent.

Sell unbundle NNPC collect your tax and royalty, it's the same if not more revenue for the government.
Let it compete with other IOCs, sell 90% of the NNPC share to Nigerian public not core investors, let the shareholders choose the management teams, let the stock be on NSC, that way government will have no hands in subsidy of the products, If the price goes up internationally we bear the crunch like everyone else, although not as much as everyone else, because of the proximity of the crude.

I thought all the land in the FCT belongs to the federal government, all natives were relocated, that was the essence of of the creation of FCT Abuja from lagos, no natives no indigenous people.

To the matter at hand, no man or woman in uniform should be taking peoples lives and properties because they carry gun or they are in uniform, our military and police force need to be discipline and trained on how to socialize with the people they serve.

FortuneDeGreat:
It doesn't take only Yoruba to actually get to know Yoruba folks perfectly, I'm married to a girl from Ogbomosho Oyo state as well and I've spent so many years living amongst the people, so I know much above average about them. Like I asked earlier, can you prove it statistically? If you can't then you gat no point.

Ogbomoso has a higer % of Christians to Muslims, but in Ibadan where you have the larger population and oyo there is more of Muslim familes no official statistics for that tho, but it's what we see every where, what makes it unique is that all the Muslim families have members that has converted to Christian either by marriage or otherwise.

davillian:
Bail is free you see it at every police station you enter but they would still demand bail and money for file.
Back to the mata
Nigerian police on regular duties should use pistols and SARS should seat down in the office but should only come out only when a distress call is placed
Just the way SWAT only comes out on terrorism , armed rubbery etc .

thank you... The ig needs to tow this line.

Shitta.. Lemo

FortuneDeGreat:
Be not deceived, in Yoruba land, you really do care about religion, and you can't say certainly by statistics that Oyo is 55% Muslim, can you?

nope we don't, are you Yoruba to know us better than ourselves? I school in UI I know Ibadan, Oyo, Ogbomoso, Iseyin, Ibarapa etc fairly well, with all certainty Oyo is 55% Muslims no one will contest that'.

[quote author=Olu20090 post=77584156][/quote]the picture you dipict... We love it... Its history and its rich... Some people don't av history.

Olu20090:
Typical afonja...to divide Igbos! Why are you people like this? Why why why for God in heaven? Who did this to you people? Natural wicked things. Afonja amayi Chukwu, amayi Chukwu ezeokwu!

you and the people liking your post are delusional, the person you quoted is Igbo for God's sakes, that's how you will shoot your brother without proper investigation because of hate.

See haters commenting upandan, it's musical creativity,if it does not suits you go and listen to what you desire, it's not by force, lets appreciate our own, Wyclef thank you ó jare,

Amumaigwe:
Thanks for your courteous and humane reply. Was actually teasing. But that MURIC bulldog should be reined in to preserve the Youruba unity. Shalom.

nobody listen to that man... He is more of a politician, and yes i agree that Yorùbá elders both xtians and Muslims should caution him not to cause unnecessary problems where there is non.

Amumaigwe:
Thanks for your courteous and humane reply. Was actually teasing. But that MURIC bulldog should be reined in to preserve the Youruba unity. Shalom.

lolz it's OK... Thanks

Amumaigwe:
But why is MURIC supporting the agitations to change the dress code of Christian and secular schools in SW to include Hijab? Why are they also agitatiing that FG should appoint only Youruba Muslims as minister? Why are they attacking Governor Fayemi for not appointing enough Yoruba muslims as commissioners? Are these signs of mutual trust and harmony between Youruba Christians and Muslims? What pains us here is that they are having their way to the detriment of their Christian brethren like you, who only specialize in defending your home-grown agressors by living in denial.

has Fayemi adhere to the chorus of the charlatan Ishaq Akintola? Ans is no, has buhari appointed only Yoruba Muslims to his cabinet? The answer is No, Schools are regulated by state governments if in the North they can wear hijab to school if the state government feels like, it can allow it, in a state where it's not allowed there are private Muslims secondary schools you can take your wards, besides the issue is in court, until the court rules on that, lets keep our peace, the people of Oyo who am sure are 55%Muslims just elected a Christian, in Yoruba land we don't care about your religion just perform that's all, and the Christians here are not in anyway feeling oppressed by our Muslims families, yes most yorubas have Christians and Muslims in same families that's why what you saying won't work here period. Ileya I go to their house to eat ram, Christmas they are here to eat chicken, am sure this Easter everyone will be together to felicitate,so don't divide us, we are good and we vote for anyone we choose to, that's democracy and its non of your business.

RTSC:
Their concerns about breeding should be directed to the Middle Eastern immigrants.

Those guys breed like rabbits when they immigrate.

Anyway, the crux of the matter is Britain does not want us

what about Northern Nigerians

Amumaigwe:
But a great Yoruba leader, Prof. Ishaq Akintola keeps reiterating that Yoruba muslims are Superior to Yoruba Christians and should always be treated special. This we Christian SS/SE disagree with. We will not rest until Yoruba Christians are emancipated.

can you please bring out any post he claimed that? Noting great about ishaq Akintola dont create what we don't have in Yoruba land for us, there are Christians and Muslims living side by side in Ghana, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Edo state without enmity, just like you have it in Yorùbá land non is much more superior to other.

Bluntemperor:
what is this one saying?A won elenu- onijekuje.they lack discipline,decorum and only feed their mouths and pockets with Nigerian resources.They went into blind ally during a terrorist of Abacha Regime and now wants relevance.people like this makes us dislikes anything called PDP.pls,bloggers no show for your personality o .

I tìre ooo, the man keeps in paying journalist to do interviews for him to stay relevant, he can't even win his polling boot talk less of ward or local government, a serious betrayal, all the money he got from Abacha has finished, he is seeking for relevance... Am not a Tinubu fan, but this man should be ignored by any newspaper, blog etc.

nwanyionitsha:
Which southwest? Southwest is settled with vp.

when northwest had VP and The Speaker, did the southwest complain? Anyway non of you guys will be the decision makers of the zoning, until then, point is the north cannot head all the branches of government and southerners just deputies not possible.

Born2Breed:
South is only good for deputy?

I tìre ooo, why not South East for Speaker? If South east I'd not getting the speaker, then it should be the southwest.

labani06:
u are lying because wallahi u don't have the knowledge to teach us we northerners school activities and all the civilisation we have during the ancient times non of it is acquired from any advance civilisation it was invented by our ancestors

chai.... Lolzzzz I agree with you, you happy now?

labani06:
atleast u have to know that Hausa are civilised before the coming of Europeans they can build a well constructed house they wear clothes they are very crafty they make swords, turban, dye clothes that are are transported to as far to Middle East or north africa they know how to read and write they have system of transportation like using Horses, camels, donkey and I know three hundred year s back ur ancestors don't know all this.

the people you call hausa where the last stop for the slave/salt trade on the trans Sahara route, they traded with the Arabs, tuaregs, Maghrebs, salt was a very valuable commodity in the past its natural for they to acquire skills from advances civilization, of course 300 years back my ancestors can't know that because he was in a lush fertile place where all he needs has being cater for by nature around him, but right now his progenitors will take your ancestors offsprings to school and teach them civility.

ReysonDrabek:
The etymology of the word doesnt matter if you refer to my earlier statement, the romans didnt call black people negroes.

I dont know about the others but hausa as a word has existed for at least a millennium.

Again you're wrong. Romans are well informed and would know everything about everyone they were involved in. Everything else you're saying is a baseless assumption. If they can make the distinction between nubian, carthaginians and numidian they will extend the courtesy to other demographics. Mind you, the roman definition was more about a region than a people so their definition of nubians will be its inhabitants. All these people, numidian, carthaginian and nubian were darker than romans and other europeans, were not black. These were the ancestors of the berbers (and by extension tuareg/kel tamasheq) and egyptians. Saying that they are is akin to saying zidane and benzema are black.

oga I rest my case you are right, if I start dissecting what you wrote here with facts from internet well known names, you will still not agree, it's Monday morning, etymology of a word does not matters its your opinion that matters, who told you Carthaginians are dark in any forms? Are Tunisians dark in anyform? They are white point blank, whites comes in different shades and tones depending on geography, Nubians are blacks pure and simple of course the tone of their Black is different from west Africans or south African, heck in Nigeria it self we have different shades of skin tones, southern Kaduna people are darker that average Igbos, Hausa name has being in existence for over a thousand years, oga please don't go into that debate, there was nothing like the name Hausa in the 17 century, all have city states, the name was adopted in the early 18th century... Go and read your books please... Its Monday morning.. Money has to be made.
