This election expose how tribalistic you guys are.

Obaaderemi2:
She didn't scratch anything let alone destroy. She has just opened her ibo people to more ridicule and reduced obi or any other ibo person's chance in future presidential elections. Sore losers, that's the badge she and others like her have hung around the necks of the ibos. Move on. It ain't too hard.

Please educate Woke Soyinka, the new APC spokesperson.

See how you are hailing tribalism yet you guys use always blame Obidients for insults. APC supporters are the worst but screaming Obidients when they are at the receiving end.

FreeStuffsNG:
Wow!!! She is naive and now angry for underestimating the politicial sagacity of the Yoruba people.

She is a serious political liability on the liability her husband already was to LP in Lagos as the only Chinedu gunning to rule Lagos.

From the records, her father, Col Augustine Aniebo(rtd) , a retired Senior Nigerian military officer with previous link with secessionists army of Nigerian civil war, was officially indicted as a thief in that document shared on Twitter and it is obvious that he used the stolen money to raise this his daughter now insulting Yoruba people. This rude girl is not married to the Yoruba, if she is married to a Yoruba she will not underestimate and disrespect the Yoruba.

We saw their bullet as husband and wife and we dodged it with our eyes opened and chest full. Anambra can have the husband, Chinedu, as Gov and the intemperate silverspoon Ify as 1st lady.

Respond to who didn't talk to you. Lol. [quote author=muhammaduyusufu post=122363384]Part 1:

Dear Chimamanda, what beautiful nonsense you just penned!

It was a portrayal of angst by an unrepentant tribal bigot trying assiduously to whip up sentiments by appealing to the American public!

As much as you try to discredit the electoral victory won by Tinubu, you and your co-travellers will not succeed. Lobbying for cancellation of the election or howling jeremiads on the streets of Washington D.C by attempting to be a back-alley abortionist of people's will and currying international support will all amount to an exercise in futility.

You and your ilk have caused so many problems in Nigeria that you should be ashamed of what you just wrote. In 1993, it was one hellish scoundrel called Arthur Nzeribe who quickly formed ABN to brazenly scuttle and torpedo the freest election conducted in Nigeria then. This time around, your are in the fray to do the same, treading the famished, inglorious, perfidious, labyrinthine, serpentine, deathful and dastardly pathways that Arthur Nzeribe once trod with a mission to set Nigeria ablaze again. You will not succeed in your devious enterprise.

Your tribal and fillial appendage with Gregory Peter Obi is well understood as blood will ever be thicker than water, but for you to pen a nonsensical gibberish with the sole aim of overriding the victory of Mr Tinubu, it is too pedestrian, disingenuous, malevolent, irresponsible and condescending. Your overrated candidate came a distant third in that contest and the earlier you realize that, the better for you. Your Obiscopic lenses through which you narrowly, myopically and parochially viewed the election would soon break into minute useless shards with banal hues. If you know so much about politics, why not put your hat into the ring? You just have whittled down whatever miniscule respect some people may have had for you thus far and many would start seeing an inveterate ethnic champion in you, henceforth.

Ever heard of force majeur? Why didn't you read the account of why INEC jettisoned the initial plan of real-time transmission of the results? Why are you more catholic than the Pope? Why are you belittling, insulting, assailing and assaulting our intelligence, sensitivities and sensibilities through your invective-riddled submission to President Biden unconscionably? By trying to pen repetitive allegory and obfuscate the whole process, you are nothing but a dangerous, uncharitable, over-venerated specie giving a tacit support to an unruly chauvinist brigade hellbent on pulling down the country just because one trading fellow with unscholarly English and dirty past did not win. You hobnobbed with like minds given to depravity to concoct lies as gallop polls in the run-up to that exercise so as to browbeat some undiscerning minds into a transparent subterfuge ---believing that your candidate would win.

It was in the public domain that your kith and kin tried all manners of dirty tricks through hacking to rig in your candidate so that you would later shout hurrah, the election result followed the pattern of your doctored gallop polls which you had bored us with ab initio. Online activism does not win elections. Somebody failed woefully to appeal to a huge segment of the population in the entire north and won only within his enclave, and rather than see this as a true reflection of the people's will, you busied yourself throwing incendiary adjectives all over America to carpet everybody in Nigeria so as to throw away the baby with the bath water as if we were still a colony of the West. The earlier you borrow yourself some sense the better.

You and your people want to emasculate everybody and plunge this nation into another blitzkrieg of unimaginable proportion, you will not succeeed this time around. Working in cahoots with some strange bedfellows or with those of same toxic and cacophonous cerebral to, yet again, annul that election is an invitation to anarchy.

Comparing human lives with mere comments show the kind of brain you have. By the Prof Osibanjo said APC will form a parallel government if the election was rigged. Hope you are aware?

Agbadocassava:
Buhari supporters in 2011 were not on internet and their madness only limited to the north. And nobody was asking for annulment of election and interim government then.

This is a retaliation for 100s rockets fired into Isreal?

U09ce:
The Israeli aggression against the Palestinians is the most poignant example of Western hypocrisy. The West forcefully carved out Israel in the midst of the Arabs. And they shamefully support the expansion of the illegit state while trampling on the rights of innocent Palestinians. These are same people that vituperate once they hear of a coup in one landlocked country in Africa. What a double standard!

Professors in Nigeria are becoming a joke.

https://www.nairaland.com/7642919/soyinka-survived-dictators-he-survive

If Soyinka indeed said this, he has just insulted himself. I don't believe it though. Is Soyinka becoming APC mouth piece?

EmirGold:
Wole Soyinka, the Nobel laureate, has challenged Datti Baba-Ahmed, Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) to a live debate on national television.
On March 22, in an interview with Channels TV, Datti said the country has no president-elect despite the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announcing Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election.
The LP vice-presidential candidate said Tinubu would be leading an unconstitutional government if sworn into office because the APC candidate “has not met requirements of the law”.
The interview elicited criticism from political stakeholders as well as a N5 million fine for the TV station.
Reacting in a chat with Arise TV on Wednesday, Soyinka said the remarks are a “kind of do-or-die attitude and provocation” that goes contrary to democratic disposition.
He added that the LP vice-presidential candidate tried to “dictate to the supreme arbiter of the nation”, adding that it was unacceptable.
However, Soyinka’s statement has earned him criticism and abuse from the ‘Obidients’, especially on social media platforms.
Reacting in a statement on Friday, the Nobel laureate condemned the fine slammed on Channels Television for airing the ‘incisive interview’ with Labour Party vice presidential candidate.
Soyinka said he was willing to engage Datti or any nominee of his on the platform “on this very bone of contention – one-on-one – without the malodorous intervention of media trolls, and with the same interviewer as mediator.”
He said, “May I cease this opportunity, by the way, to condemn the sanctions imposed on CHANNELS Television which anchored the performance of the LP candidate. As stated, I watched the programme keenly – saw the valiant efforts of the interviewer to ensure fair hearing. I fail to understand just where the station could be faulted, except from a disposition for injustice.
“To sustain that penalty is to give joy to others who turn Internet into a soakaway for their rancid emissions, yet feel that others should be silenced. If CHANNELS feels up to it, I offer myself willing to engage Mr. Datti – or any nominee of his - on its platform on this very bone of contention – one-on-one – without the malodorous intervention of media trolls, and with the same interviewer as mediator.
That should be taken as a serious offer.
“Project NIGERIA, I must confess, has become near terminally soul-searing. Do I still believe in it? I am no longer certain but - first we must rid ourselves of the tyranny of the ignorant and the opportunism of time-servers. In any case, there is not much else to engage one on a foundation of ownership stakes.
“There is of course, always the possibility of a Revolution, with a clarity of purpose and acceptance of all attendant risks, including costly errors.
Revolutions are not however based on the impetus of speculative power entitlement.
“No matter, until that moment, the structures that ensure just and equitable cohabitation must be protected from partisan appropriation - be it from material inducement, fake news, or verbal terrorism – the last being the contribution of one who is positioned to assume co-leadership of the nation, no less. Revolution is not about lining up behind the nearest available symbol. When a symbol does emerge however, we are still obliged to examine every aspect of what is fortuitously on offer, and continue to guard our freedoms every inch of the way.
“Before I take myself off for – well, next port of call – the final word goes to a favourite maverick, propagated even as he matched his words by action.
I suspect that in this instance we find ourselves on opposite sides of the strategic fence – that is democracy. This now coopted watchword of his formulation remains apt, applicable to all who strive for authentic social transformation: Your mummu done do!”
Soyinka also said the attacks against him for criticising Datti Yusuf Baba-Ahmed for insisting that the Supreme Court must rule in the party’s favour justifies his earlier comment that fascism was taking over the political arena.
He said, “It would appear that a record discharge of toxic sludge from our notorious smut factory is currently clogging the streets and sewers of the Republic of Liars. It goes to prove the point that provoked the avalanche EXACTLY! The seeds of incipient fascism in the political arena have evidently matured.
“A climate of fear is being generated. The refusal to entertain corrective criticism, even differing perspectives of the same position has become a badge of honour and certificate of commitment. What is at stake, ultimately is – Truth, and at a most elementary level of social regulation: when you are party to a conflict, you do not attempt to intimidate the arbiter, attempt to dictate the outcome, or impugn, without credible cause, his or her neutrality even before hearing has commenced.”

The election was rigged, hence the reactions in the political space.

Dindondin:
Eggxactly.
I m neither for Tinubu or Obi. All I want is fairness. In fairness, Tinubu won. I dislike wailing. Chimamanda the feminist that doesn't have good advise for our young girls than to treat their partners bad is dishing letter to Biden like say they are lovers.
Her letter has bigotry from A-Zee!
She acted like she cared for the masses but ended up lamenting only Obi's loss.
Igbos of LP should remember that the party is meant to be a combination of all tribes. I can get that we have more Yorubas in LP than Igbos before 2023. But the way Igbos carried LP on head in Lagos made them lose woefully the gubernatorial election of that state. I know this ll rouse some people but it's the truth. GRV too was now doing like Chinedu instead of Gbadebo. It's not tribalism. It's fact. Lagos is Yorubaland and Yoruba culture. You can't carry Igbo mentality to rule in a Yorubaland neither will you carry Yoruba territory to Igboland for ruling.
Shey Igbos wey stand against Ojukwu's wife that she can't run for Senate cos she's not from Anambra are those to preach no tribalism? As in tribalism against same tribe, same Igbo. They forgot Bianca is from Anambra as far as she's married there. Even if she's divorced she's Anambra. This agborodun Chimamanda can't contest in another state in Igboland if she's cross breeding. Like if her father is Ebonyi and her mom is from Imo. They ll shout on her. So. Elupeees should learn lesson cos we are all going to become elupeee in future if Tinubu fails.

I read it. She lamented Obi's loss. It's as if Obi sent her to write it. She wrote it as if Obi won decisively and INEC did ojoro. She should STFU!

Overrated? Did you use the brain you using in crossing roads to type that? Lol.

flokii:
I am sure POTUS would discard the trash the overrated fiction storyteller Adiche wrote.. e be like say these guys wan collect.

Gone are the days of Yoruba docility where Igbos will be marching ground anyhow.. restructuring is coming and not an inch of Yorubaland would be ceded to aliens.

Chimamanda should not come to Lagos again o.. she should start using Anambra airport for her travels.

The people who supported that bill are very selfish people who care about them selves only. I wonder how Nigerians keep voting sorry rigging this people in.

DesChyko:
The Nigerian Medical Students' Association @NiMSA_Nigeria strongly opposes the recently proposed bill to mandate Nigerian-trained medical or dental practitioners to practice in Nigeria for a minimum of five years before being granted a full license to practice.

This bill, sponsored by Rep. Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson is unpatriotic, ill-timed and a breach of the fundamental human right of doctors as enshrined in the 1999 constitution of Nigeria as amended.

This bill is aimed at strangulating the medical profession and making mockery of her autonomy.

The reason given by Rep. Johnson for sponsoring this bill will end up achieving the direct opposite as the bill seeks to enslave Nigerian trained doctors and paralyze the health care system. The search for greener pastures abroad can be reduced by making our land and pasture green, properly equipping our hospitals, better treatment for doctors and the brain drain will be adequately controlled. Rep. Johnson at this point should be steering conversations on medical tourism and not doctor slavery.

We firmly believe that this bill is not the solution to the problem of brain drain, and we stand against it in its entirety in the strongest possible terms.

The intention behind the sponsorship of this bill does not take into consideration the root causes of brain drain in Nigeria. The issue of brain drain is multifaceted and requires a more comprehensive approach to tackle it.

Instead of trying to forcefully take doctors as slaves, the lawmakers should be focusing on creating an enabling environment that encourages doctors to stay and work in Nigeria. The lack of infrastructure, inadequate and inappropriate remuneration, and poor working conditions are some of the major factors driving medical professionals away from Nigeria. These issues need to be addressed if we want to attract and retain our healthcare professionals; make our land green.

We also believe that the bill is a violation of the fundamental human rights of medical professionals and should not see the light of the day. The government has no right to force doctors to work in a particular location against their will- it is an affront to their autonomy and choice. We also unequivocally state that this bill will discourage students from pursuing medical education in Nigeria, which will further exacerbate the problem of the shortage of healthcare professionals.

A better way to bring up the issue of being trained with “tax payer subsidies” would be to have it optional, the option of paying for medical education at the real cost value, the option of obtaining student loans and also the option of going for the subsidized medical education with the caveat of staying behind for a certain number of years to “pay back”. Besides, not all Doctors in the country are trained on subsidy; one thing the bill failed to capture. Doctors need to have a choice, even before they start their training so they can make better informed decisions.

Additionally, we strongly believe that the bill is arbitrary in nature and totally unconstitutional- it deprives the Nigerian-trained medical and dental practitioners of their fundamental right to freedom of movement by arbitrarily imposing restrictions on their movements against the provision of Section 41 the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In conclusion, @NiMSA_Nigeria vehemently opposes this bill in part and in one whole. We call on the sponsor of the bill to withdraw it with immediate effect and seek better ways of finding a lasting solution to the problem of brain drain by consultative collaboration with relevant stakeholders in the health sector coupled with the government's willingness to address the root causes and underlying issues that drive healthcare professionals away from Nigeria.

The Nigerian medical students’ association, is eager for a better health system hence, our willingness to work with the government, as we have always done, to find lasting solutions to the issues plaguing the healthcare system.

The health sector is essential to the growth and development of our nation, and we must take steps to ensure that our healthcare professionals stay and contribute to the growth of our country.

We say *NO* to this bill,
Rather, make our land and pasture green.

Ejim Egba,
NiMSA President

The election was rigged.

She's nothing but an IPOB apologist. She's pained that her IGBO/IPOB candidate lost.
She has also exposed herself as a fanatical tribal fool masquerading as a liberal writer. She will not be taken seriously from now on.

You asked him to go to court, right?

Triangles1:
He's too desperate to be president.


The most credible free and fair election in the history of Nigeria was June 12 election won by MKO abiola which was annulled by Gbadamosi babangida, did you see any Yoruba insult anybody, no, I don't know why Igbos things always take drastic ways, the first coup in Nigeria was created by Igbos, the same people go to Kano become enemy of the land, go to Singapore, asian, south America, they're there causing chaos with their fake life fake products.


The most insulted president in Nigeria is Obasanjo and Jonathan and heaven didn't shake, why is Peter bringing enemity for mandate he can't proof.

I blame the judiciary in all these mess, court orders are bought like commodities.

My friend fathers was attacked in ogun state in his farm last week. The old man was marched with cutlass, it was only God that save his life. The matter was reported to the police and they came all the way from Abuja and said there’s nothing they can do.

Imagine in this tech era Nigeria police said there’s nothing they can do. He’s farm scattered, all his hard work for months destroyed and they still want to kill him just because he told them not allow their cow destroy his cassava farm.

Where re we going in this country. Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb and a lot of people don’t know

[quote author=envoymedia post=122246505]Nigeria's former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said it is time for Nigerians to call on security agencies to declare Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi a terrorist following the leaked audio chat between the LP candidate and Bishop Oyedepo - founder of the Living Faith Church, IGBERETV reports.

As heard in the audio, Peter Obi pleaded with Oyedepo to help him canvass for Christian votes in the South West. Also, LP's spokesperson released a statement confirming the authenticity of the leaked audio.

Reacting to the development, Kayode wrote on his Twitter handle;



https://twitter.com/realFFK/status/1642487924448014336?t=DuftEAYMHnb9pPdNovCxUg&s=19[/quote]

You believe Kenneth Okwonkw than Obi who you claimed made the call. The way Obi is attacked I am beginning to think he really win the election.

N3TRAL:
Weak rebuttal. Kenneth Okonkwo already confirmed the authenticity of the Audio. Diran Onifade is late.

Every human who keenly follows politics in Nigeria's climate knows deep in their heart that Peter Obi's mission was inspired:

Firstly, by his Igbo ethnicity that has failed to produce a Nigerian leader in more than half of a century

and

secondly, by his religious politics that he used to cause a lengthy division between Catholics and Anglicans in Anambra.

Just as he stated in the conversation, for Peter Obi the election was a "religious war".

For the umpteenth time, explain how Nasarawa wants good governance yet Niger , Kogi and Kwara States that are close to Nasarawa State geographically do not want good governance?

Study the Local Government Areas Peter Obi landed for campaigns in the North. Thereafter, study the map result of the February 25th 2023 elections and deny that Peter Obi's votes did not come because he was Igbo first of all and then a Christian.

Clerics like Paul Enenche who should be chilling at DSS' dungeon for incitement made a fool of themselves.
Enoch Adeboye was insulted and bullied by children young enough to be his great-grandchildren because of his neutrality. Shout-out to my designer Pastor, Paul Adefarasin- history will write your name in gold!

They sang "Yourba Muslims" and "Northern Christians" every night and day with the hope of creating eternal enmity between siblings of the same womb. I specifically give a shout out to Yoruba Christians and South South Christians who did not completely fall for the sham. As for our mandate, we will defend it with our blood.

I'm not denying that Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso didn't get most votes in the North because they are Muslims. I'm only reiterating that the 2023 elections had nothing to do with competence and Peter Obi is another random mediocre Nigerian politician who utilized religion and ethnicity at the February polls.

Seems like Obi really win the election the way you guys left article to attack Obi. Lol.

ThatFairGuy1:
One thing is sure, Obi's Political ambition in Nigeria is dead.
