Bastards. I’m disappointed at laz Ekwueme for sighting him there

When you mentioned his name I almost insulted you, but at the second thought... I decided to check again, Chai! It's finished.

Linus! Why are we still borrowing?

bintalabi:
That's exactly how to build Bridges, kontinu

Keep building bridges for assumed Repentant Boko Haram members. To hell with the bridge.

BabaRamota1980:
Prior to 2015 election they refused to support him. .
Prior to 2019 election, I counted three different people, one of them, Boss Mustapha, the SGF, made three trips and reiterated same statement each time that, "If Igbo support Buhari 2019 he will handover to them in 2023". They refused. Ohanaeze said Buhari does not own Nigeria and cannot set condition for them to become President. They supported his opponent, Atiku.

Now its clear to Ibo they do need Buhari for 2023, all kind of belated rubbish is now being thrown out. Its late! This press statement should have happened 2018/2019, not in 2020.

I'm yet to see Igbos begging Buhari for presidency. North has the highest duration in power, yet its battling Insurgency, Poverty, Illiteracy, Famine, Diseases, if he couldn't help his brothers, what can he offer?

Without emancipation, power is foolishness. The joy of victory is in the trophy.

Abohboy:
Then why aren’t south eastern states the best states in Nigeria. It has nothing to do with your ethnicity, ethnicity doesn’t equal knowledge.

A lot people can afford to build Railway as a business in Nigeria, but it's within the executive list of the Federal Government. Same goes to power. It's shared by government, question why should FG be spending billions of dollars in NNPC or refine products abroad, when they aren't producing anything?


You think without the amount of politics involved, that Igbos won't full Nigeria with Modular refineries?

Kindly read up on what happened to Orient Petroleum. It's a refinery built by Anambra State top indigenes, but FG politics never allowed it work.

freeborn02:
It is not"hunt". It is "haunt"

You're wrong. I had to check the meaning of the two, within the context of the sentence, they're right.

Anyway... Thanks for taking me back to class.

IgbalodeRaymond:
Obiano is a criminal too
he's just annoyed and embarrassed because buhari refused to see them

Useless hungry urchins called igwe

Kindly read the news again, and stop disgracing yourself with comments that doesn't add up.

Osagyefo98:
Obiano is a clown and not only a clown but a fool.


Those traditional ruler for whatsoever reason, do not owe obiano any explanation or any loyalty.

before he became governor, they are there and will be there when he leaves. this is not less than been power drunk and autocractic


what sort of explanation do obiano want the traditional rulers to give him.......are they juvenile who owe obligations to their parents..

even if they collect money and count it in market places, that's not Obiano's business...

Tell that to Ganduje, hypocrites.

Ategberoson:
so Nnamdi KANU that told you clowns not to vote and later tell you to vote is what?

just look at Abia State, I don't expect you people to be bragging on foolishness

Which Abia? Kindly close your mouth. Roads may be bad in Abia, but we don't have mud houses in Aba, like in Abeokuta, Osogbo, Ogbomoso.

TheCork:
Drive? In Nigeria? Since when did u people ever have road wit traffick light? I seen YouTube video of u people driving okada.. I lie? Anyways gimmme yor nomba dear. I have moiney

You write like some people residing in Zamfara, if your first language is English and you're literate, I will rather watch from a distance for my safety.

When APC is not a stupid party; knowing fully well, if the zone is given the chance, they will still abandon its candidate and vote en mass for their adored PDP.

As I passed through Niger bridge yesterday, I was marvelled at the rate of work on 2nd Niger bridge by APC government; really couldn't fathom the sheepish followership of PDP in this zone. Now you want APC, the Islamic, the Tinubu, the Buhari party, you hate so much to give you its presidential candidate so as to dump the party by the wayside and follow your love, PDP...

The natural Gas from Ohaji Egboma in Imo State will build that bridge in less than a year. They aren't doing us a favor. We pay tax.

Even with the hate on Trump, he will deliver dividend of democracy to all American people irrespective of party, he has not done a favor.

nzube89:
I may agree with you partially bro but our type of politics is very bad . how can we regard a whole National party as Moslem party as if we own pdp . we create the hate bro by our actions and words .why are we hated by our brothers in Niger delta .there is something we are doing that is not right

I don't blame you, that's if you've read history. What type of politics is bad?


Oooh! Love those that killed your parents, love those hate your kids. How did APC state fate in the East, Okorocha hated his people and you expect him to be loved, right? He openly hurt his people, yet you're saying give them more slots.

PPA, won two states in the East, owned by Ojiuzo Kalu, started taxing the two states heavily, what next... The two governors decamped. If after the comments of Tinubu's wife calling Igbos Okoro, Oba Lagoon you feel you have a friend in them, best of luck.


I don't play with an enemy.

abu12:
A time will come an average IBO kid won't be able to stand within his age mate from other tribes. And tell them he dream to become president of Nigeria .

AbuIdiot... Let me school you, you've had the presidency longer than the Igbos, yet your states are ravaged by insurgency, poverty, diseases and famine.

Igbos are doing well in various sectors of the economy,Nigeria education champion, innovation, sports and entertainment.

I wouldn't know what you pride yourself in, properly bombing, we don't.

OkutaNla:
Igboman Op, when will you people quit this your Atiku-slavery and asslicking?? Haba, una no get shame? Why not sell an igboman that you think stands a chance against Tinubu instead of promoting Atiku? Or are you suggesting that no igboman is credible or worthy of flying PDP ticket?? One minute una dey shout Biafra, another minute una dey shout igbo Presidency, the next minute una dey 'Atikulate'. Ndigbo, Which way??

When you were supporting Buhari, was Tinubu not born by then? Or... I guess you didn't have competent hands then, two can play the game.

carterguccy:
Igbos hate Igbos !!!

FG to the rescue

It's your village people that hate you.

Chai! IPOB abi iPad has taken over Benin

Simplyleo:
I watched the video, very true.

But for the emboldened, I disagree. It is Tinubu that short changed the chiefs, not Uzu Awka. That is how Tinubu cheated the red cap chiefs and ended up with bullion vans.

Las las, ipobs are illiterates.

Illiterate that has bettered you in all education ground.

AlabiJ:
Another Round of Tinubu masturbation. This particular ibo Op is obviously obsessed with the guy. I don't see any yoruba person on Nairaland opening daily threads about Air Peace Onyema's pending criminal case with the U.S govt., or Innosons's fraud case with Gtbank. Or how 'saint' Peter Obi's aid was caught and arrested with N250-million raw cash in Lagos. But igbos on Nairaland will come on Nairaland 24/7 to masturbate about Tinubu. Una no dey tire??

Is Nnamdi Kanu your father? Has he governed your state before, but yet... You can't let him live.

The saying goes like this, one good turn deserves another.

"Edo Is Not Lagos": Godwin Obaseki's Ingratituous Bill Of Insult On Tinubu

It is a worthwhile venture when one chooses to stand far away from ingratituous people. They are like the "Bermuda Triangle", always "swallowing" and not getting filled up. And unless they continue to take from you, you have not done anything for them. One thing is sure though, an ingratituous person is an armed "emotional robber".

When a matter is like that, no time should be wasted to attempt to waste time and resources to assist such people. This is why the bill posted as "Edo is not Lagos” is an ingratituous insult on AsiwajuBola Ahmed Tinubu.

Let us recall that the Asiwaju held and lifted former Governor Olusegun Mimiko up to become Governor of Ondo State, to help him grow his South West outreach, but at then end of that effort, Governor Mimko floundered and left Asiwaju Tinubu in the cold. He was ungrateful.

At the end of that political trip the Asiwaju helped Olusegun Mimiko embark on, and when it mattered most to the Asiwaju, the former governor chose to work with erstwhile President Goodluck Jonathan than with the Asiwaju. As clearly as pictured, investing his resources in Olusegun Mimiko was a big loss to the Asiwaju - Mimiko should not have been helped to be governor. It is now about the ingratitude of Governor Obaseki.

However, in the above review, of that relationship between the Asiwaju and Mimiko, it is very clear, how, at no point did Mimiko insult the Asiwaju in his show of ingratitude. The same thing cannot be said about Governor Godwin Obaseki, who has taken his own ingratitude to a new level.

Governor Obaseki, who is a secondary beneficiary of the political magnanimity of the Asiwaju, having inherited a political dynasty put in place by the Asiwaju.

"Edo is not Lagos" is a geographical fact when the cadastrals mapping of the 2 cities are considered, but referring it to the politics of Edo State and the incumbent governorship, Edo State and especially Governor Godwin Obaseki has the Asiwaju to be grateful to, for what Governor Obaseki enjoys today as the governor of the State.

Edo may not be Lagos, but the governorship and the incumbent political status quo Godwin Obaseki is currently enjoying was strategically planned in Lagos, sponsored from Lagos and it took the shape and the image of what Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu delivered. So politically, Edo, undeniably, smells like Lagos.

Now, what did the Asiwaju do wrong and where did he incur Governor Obaseki's displeasure?

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a seasoned democrat, is the only Nigerian politician who committed every needed resources to sustain, deepen and grow our democracy: he sustained a vibrant and a dreadful opposition polity until it was victory for the opposition parties. Governor Obaseki should not have expected such a democrat to support his attempt to muzzle 14 members of a 26 members Edo House of Assembly.

The Asiwaju's offence was in telling Godwin Obaseki that he was wrong to insist on a "minority rule" in the Edo State House of Assembly. What was it that promoted Governor Obaseki's fears that Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State did not encounter? Governor Obaseki had a House of Assembly populated by his party men, while Governor Uzodinma inherited an already operative Imo State House of Assembly dominated by the opposition.

The question is: how is Governor Uzodinma successfully managing a House populated by enemy legislators when his colleague, Governor Obaseki cannot manage his 26 members House filled with his party men? It shows that Governor Obaseki is unlearn in the arts of governance. Compare him with his Imo State counterpart, the difference in their experiences is very clear.

So, like Governor Olusegun Mimiko, Governor Godwin Obaseki enjoyed the continuity of the Asiwaju political magnanimity and was ungrateful, but unlike Governor Mimiko who left out adding insults to his ingratitude, Governor Obaseki took his to a childish climax by adding insults to his ingratitude against the Asiwaju.

Unfortunately, Governor Obaseki was blind to who the Asiwaju is: a politician who has "the right to be insulted", a politician who has grown politically through the "insults" he has suffered, and the one who is who he has become through insults from those he "out runs". So Governor Obaseki's inglorious show of ingratitude and his insults can only raise the Asiwaju's political pedestal than diminish it.

But as for him returning to Government House, Benin City, he has lost the opportunity for taking a hard earn political victory for the Edo people back to their mark of political slavery. Indeed it is not proper to "give the children's bread to dogs". And Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is right to suggest the removal of Governor Obaseki and come 19 Sepywmber 2020, he will prove it indeed that, politically, "Edo is Lagos".

May this be your portion, that after voting insurgency, it's not enough for you, but rather... Celebrating Buhari's incompetence.

APC!!! Fighting corruption with broom.

No nation can survive a continuous looting of her treasury unabated.

Simplyleo:
Okay.

He can be in apc caucus meeting for deliberations on which of Tinubu and Osinbajo should be more suitable for 2023 presidential election.

But South East should prevail on Pdp for consideration in presenting one of its illustrious sons as the presidential flagbearer of the party.

Over 2 decades of loyalty and servitude is reasonably sufficient to make that demand.

Even Igbo APC won't even notice your Chicago drug peddler. Ask Ngige, he has buried your lord.

Most wanted Senator

rawpadgin:
Okay, was having a drink with a friend of mine last night & he told me he no longer find his fiancée attractive. They got engaged a year ago & the babe is already pregnant for him. He is however still planning to wife her because the girl is a wife material & he will grow further financially with her by his side but believes he might be cheating on her after marriage.

According to him, the said girl has done a lot for him mostly during the pandemic period but believes he shouldn't be getting married to a girl simply because she has assisted him on many occasions. All my effort to convince him that the feelings will come after marriage proved abortive.

Some persons will die for nothing, your friend looks like one. Till he got her pregnant with all her assistance to him, he suddenly discovered he doesn't love her again!!!

Your friend will end up in hell that's in this world.

lilmax:
And you guys think the leaders are really the problem?

Dumb citizens

Close your mouth. When the leaders are using poverty as a tool to get to the masses.

How can you ask a man, whose kids are crying at home, not to campaign for the man he despite? Can you stand the crying of a hungry child?

Can you afford to be decent with 18,000 minimum wage? Can you value labour when looters are preferred over you?

Next time place yourself on the other side of the divide before making post.

richiemcgold:
I remember how apc lawmakers ganged up against Jonathan and pdp in 2014. If the current pdp lawmakers are sensible enough, this is the time to pay Buhari & apc back.

Ummmm... It's foolishness to pull down your house because of rat. PDP hasn't and won't try that.

NGpatriot:
You don't care and It's a matter of choice when you don't buy from Innoson, but it bothers some of you when others don't buy from Innoson.

You people are just hypocrites.

Everybody has his own view and choice about life. Hypocrisy is supporting Tinubu, while calling Atiku a thief.

carterguccy:
Igbos hate Igbos

They hate each other, yet they help themselves in businesses.

How does not buying Innoson amount to hatred? It's a choice. That means all the Igbos that doesn't use Innoson, hate him too.

made4naijamusic:
Why is it so difficult for Nigerians to be happy for people. Nigerians always expect bad news about people. That is why when Toke's house was allegedly taken over, people were very happy about that bad news, why why why. Me, I was taught by my parents to always celebrate with people and never wish anyone evil. Cossy, I celebrate with you and congratulations.

Hope your parents thought you to celebrate hard work, not any means wealth?

Because I was thought to celebrate hard work and respect a man's means of earning, irrespective how small.

And nothing in my post even remotely suggests I'm his fan, stop jumping into conclusions. And polish up your language, you don't have to insult someone before you can pass your points across.

For you contravening Nigerian COVID 19 policies, isn't breaking of law and shouldn't attract any penalties, right?
