Human Right Activist, Silas Joseph Onu, Analysed The Petition Of APM Against APC, Tinubu, Shettima, and INEC.




Source:
https://twitter.com/UmarSanithecat/status/1680846653962452993





IN SUMMARY..
If the APC agreed that Shettima was nominated on an earlier date,, (which was supposed to coincide with the last possible date for his nomination, without which Tinubu gets disqualified), then Shettima would go in for double nomination..
And then, if they agreed that Shettima was nominated on a later date, then, Tinubu must already had been disqualified,, being that his 14-days for replacing the resigned place-holder had already elapsed long time ago.

Should he be begging them?

He should be warning them.

And dedicating 2 days a week for visitation is still too much.

People and their sycophancy around those in power.

Somebody becomes something and generations unknown starts showing up to claim relationship.

No one will try that nonsense with me.

The only way to solve tribalism issue in Nigeria to a great level is through peaceful division of Nigeria to smaller nations with people of similar or closer cultural, religious traits as one nation like it is done in Europe, so that every tribe can carry their burden and not blame others for their woes and so that if Igbos still decide to be living in Southwest or North or any other region, they would go there with a visa or something and will know that they are in a foreign land and if they fail to abide by the laws of the Yoruba country or Northern country or whichever country, they get prosecuted as foreigners.



But unfortunately when Igbos suggest this as a peaceful way to settle the age long tribal wars and supremacy battle in Nigeria, Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis still stand against it and even use state security to victimize and subdue Igbos for trying to peacefully secede from Nigeria for peace to reign. Its a very crazy situation.


Honestly the way I see this, it will get to a time every Nigerian will beg for Nigeria to divide, which remains the best solution for peace and communal progress to reign in Nigeria cos no love is lost between Nigerian tribes.

First I must thank you for your awesome comment and civility in your comment, I really appreciate that, well done sir.



That issue of some Igbo tenants bringing in more occupants in their flat after renting a flat as maybe a family of 5 is mostly common among traders who have servants known in Igbo dialect as "umu boi". I understand its a bad practice, I also condemn the act cos I believe the Oga ought to rent a house for his extra servants, not bringing 3 to 5 grown up boys into a single flat, its completely bad.



But this does not in any way mean disrespecting Lagos indigenes or their host because such Igbo tenants that bring extra occupants to their flats as his servants or boys also do same to Igbo landlords and other tribes' landlords, not just to Yoruba landlords only.



The only way Yorubas could claim Igbos don't respect their Lagos host is if Igbos do gather and invade a community in Lagos to forcefully or violently chase them out and take over their land and refuse to vacate just as Fulani herdsmen do to Yorubas in many Yoruba communities yet I have never heard Yorubas cry about this or condemn it except when Igboho challenged them 2 years ago.


Neither have Igbos ever dragged Oba title with Lagosians in Lagos. No Igbo have even contested to become Lagos Governor, all the contestants Lagos APC always tag Igbo are all bonafide Yoruba sons.


Before it was Jimi Agbaje they tagged Igbo, this year it was GRV, who knows who will be next, maybe Bola Tinubu's grandson with some Igbo blood in decades to come? Or maybe Femi Fani Kayode's sons from his Igbo wife, who knows who will be the next target of their ethnic profiling politics?



Now on the issue of giving back to Lagos community that helped in making me who I am today, I employ Yorubas, near my office, there are two Yoruba aged women (around 60 to 70) who own petty shops near my office, I do always give them things every festive period and they always call me their son. Our relationship is so cordial to the extent that there was a time I traveled and didn't come to work for like a month, when I returned they came to my personal office to ask me what happened that they had been asking about me.



I also once gave back to the community I did my NYSC in Osun state, though it was once but I planning to start something sustainable there soon by God's grace.


As for Lagos, I had a bigger plans before the election, since after the last governorship election in Lagos, I started having a rethink out of fear. I have been so skeptical of Lagos. Not just me but a lot of other Igbo friends and colleagues who even own bigger properties in Lagos have already started thinking of selling them off out of fear of the unknown.



Before now, most Igbos see Lagos as their second home, including the ones staying abroad but honestly the last election has put serious fear and discomfort in the hearts of most Igbos about Lagos.

franchasofficia:
Is this bitter rant necessary? You made a beautiful post but spoilt it with this unnecessary bitter comment.


I am Igbo, a reputable man from my community is Femi Otedola's close friend and ally right from the time of Goodluck. He was among the people that mediated for Otedola when he was bankrupt and Goodluck bailed him. He visited Otedola almost monthly in Ghana where Femi was spending most of his time then until Goodluck came to power and bailed him. He is Igbo, he is closer to Femi Otedola than you that's same tribe with Femi Otedola.



My point is, only poor wretched and bitter people carry tribalism on their head like gala even when there is no need to.



I lived in Lagos for years, Lagos favored me a lot. I owe Lagos state tribute for my life's success. I cherish Lagos even more than my own state. I never wished Lagos bad, in fact I once wished Lagos could become a megacity like Paris, reason I supported a change in government in Lagos so Lagos can achieve its full potentias. I never for once disrespected Lagos and will never do. I paid all my levies and dues and even tax to Lagos state government. I contributed in my community development in Lagos because I was once a committee member of my LCDA and estate. We ensured we had adequate security. The chairman of my estate landlord and tenants association for over 6 years was an Igbo man.



Many of you go about spreading falsehood about Igbos and causing unjustified hatred for Igbos by falsely lying that Igbos don't honor or respect their host and I keep wondering how? This worthless claim only come to limelight every 4 years in Lagos that its election time that Lagos APC use the tactics to deceive bigots like you to vote for them and attack Igbos yet you refuse to use your wisdom.



Tell me categorically how Igbos disrespect Lagos indigenes in Lagos?



Don't start that Lagos is a no man's land mantra cos it was a positive slang started by a Yoruba man who was Lagos Governor and some Igbos used it to explain how welcoming Lagos is to everybody without discrimination. Never for once did Igbos contest to become Oba in Lagos? Have Igbos ever attacked Lagosians in a bid to snatch and take over their lands like Fulani herdsmen do to you, yet you never for once condemned Fulani tribe for that.



God and divinity will judge people like you. Be careful in life, life is deeper than internet fun and cruise catching cos u are causing heavy hatred and distortion of truth with the potential of causing genocide and ethnic civil war.



What crime did Igbos commit in 2023? That Peter Obi an Igbo man contested for Nigeria's President? First time Igbos massively supported an Igbo Presidential candidate after Igbos supported Presidential candidates from other tribes; Shagari (Hausa), Obasanjo (Yoruba), Yaradua (Fulani), Goodluck (Ijaw), Atiku (Fulani) yet you guys have been going on rampage just because Igbos supported an overqualified and competent Igbo Presidential candidate for once.



Be honest, if it was Igbos that produced Obasanjo from 1999 to 2006, Osinbajo from 2015 to 2023, and still insisted they must produce next President in 2023, how will Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis have reacted to it? You guys would have told the whole world how greedy, heartless and arrogant Igbos are and how greedy Igbos are trying to dominate Nigeria by not allowing other Southern tribes to produce President.


God is watching you all, sorrow may endure for the night but joy will definitely come in the morning, you all will live to see what the Lord can do

This is how you mis-inform people about vital information.
1. Who will sell his/her registered car to you without removing his/her tag? None, except a friend or close relative ( no stranger will do such). This is because, if a crime is committed with the car, the first person to be arrested is the name registered with the car. Also, who will be paying for tickets, tolls and the rest?

2. In every part of the US, the police pulls you over for expired registration. This isn’t perculiar to Maryland alone.

3. On your second to the last statement, takes you back to my number 1 up here. No stranger will sell a car to you and allow you drive around with their tag. With no tag, you will be forced to register your car. One of the documents at the point of registration is the title certificate which isn’t renewed annually like the one introduced in Naaija presently. The only time it changes is when ownership changes. Ire ooo.

valarinz:
Pls kindly tell me what the "Vehicle license" fee we already pay is then?

Why would we have to "register" again with ₦1k for a paper that only depicts the ownership of a vehicle

Also, youve been going on and on about this your Maryland license payment, and Im asking you again, how is that different from the "Vehicle license" fee we already pay

valarinz:
Yes pls, "vehicle licence" fee is paid annually and it's part of the 3 required documents that has annual renewal required to drive a car in Nigeria

The other 2 are the "road worthiness certificate" and of course the "insurance certificate"

"Vehicle licence" fee is not equal across all vehicles, different categories of cars pay different sums and usually the bigger your engine size the higher your fee

Perhaps if all those attacking you spelt it out clearly for you from the get-go we won't have many pages of the unnecessary jousting

MasterTeeUSA:
There are so many reasons why this is good. It is like car registration

1. You cannot steal a vehicle and go for Proof of Ownership. If the car has been declared wanted, you are going to be in big trouble.
2. If a car is sold, the new owner will be forced to get his own proof of ownership and justify the purchase.
3. This is done in sane countries...in Maryland USA, I think its biannually
4. It can also be used to enforce...Police can ask for Proof of Ownership and verify the documents with NIN/IDs
5. Even if you try to repaint or change a stolen vehicle, you will still need to have proof of sale and submit documents for Proof of Ownership

Yes, is it extra tax on the people that have vehicles...yes, but it will also provide JOBS JOBS JOBS and open up another way to generate revenues to pay those workers.

Like I told someone before...US/UK pay so many different taxes, and that is how they are also able to provide so many different types of jobs or contracts.

US Military spending alone is greater than almost all countries combined...You have Haliburton, GE, Boeing, Amazon, Google...all of them get Govt contracts. You have IRS and officers that collect and enforce taxation. You have Federal Police, different from State Police and Local Govt or County Police and you also have City Police...State Highway Police and so on. Govt pays for all of them and use the same taxes...FireHouse and workers in every few streets, Medicaid for elderly which opened job opportunities that people run to...Nursing, Doctor and so on. Even IT and CyberSecurity is due to Govt spending.

So if you want more jobs private or public, you must take and distribute. Rich people that have 10 cars will have to pay N10,000 per year...which is nothing to them.

I support this move for all of the reasons above. If you cannot pay N1000 per year, you should not be driving please and thank you.
