I warned them too. Even the stupid Yoruba Nation here too...when I confront them, I realize they are full of hate, less of ideas, and have no real plan for governance. They think I should be part of them, but I do not subscribe to violent ideology or tribes. The questions I ask those in Afenifere who claim to be speaking for us Yoruba... 1. What will happen to families like mine that have Igbos in your Yoruba Nation? 2. What will happen to children of my sisters that are both Yorubas and Igbos? 3. Where will your borders start and stop? 4. Would people need visas to enter your yoruba nation because we dont even need them for ECOWAS? 5. What happens to all political offices and governance...will you discriminate on the basis of tribes?
Then then look stupid and realize, I am not one of them. The HATE we push always comes back to consume us. May the SOUL of the departed rest in peace. I still remember the Pregnant Fulani woman and her children killed...soldiers beheaded that were celebrated and so on. We have truly LOST OUR SOUL as a PEOPLE
It must be said that a lot of Igbos supported this madness by a terrorist group who insisted they must be given referendum or no election.
They even despised Buhari for getting Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya, and celebrated that his disciple, Simon Ekpa, is more brutal and was killing Igbo efulefus and Nigerian security officers.
These same Igbos are now condemning Buhari for not finding a means to eliminate Simon Ekpa in Finland, who has remained resolute with the same mission of no election that many supported then.
Is it that they want the same Buhari who they have previously reported to UN, EU, USA, FIFA and Twitter, to now become the dictator they accused him of, while betraying themselves as the very people without regard for the human rights of others?
US and UN go just dey laugh at the ever lamenting hypocrites of Nigeria who are always fighting for selective human rights.
Shame on these people who are driven by hatred and a never ending tribal agenda.
The have killed many Igbos and claimed they were warned to obey the sit at home, but they are now claiming the sit at home should no longer be obeyed?
Am I the only one who thinks the hypocrisy of these people stink to the depths of hell?
Igbos, we warned you about how the North embraced boko haram and still suffer for their folly till today. Now you are suffering for being stubborn and refusing to learn from the mistake of others.
If any charlatan Kanu out there can come out and claim he is speaking for Igbos and Nigeria must bend to his own will, what is stopping any charlatan ogbonna out there from claiming the same for his own demands on behalf of same Igbos?
We warned, but you called us unity beggers from the zoo. Now you are begging us to vote you as President of the zoo.
You have let your perpetual hatred and envy lead to your self destruction.
I will tell my children the tale of a foolish people who killed their own so that a Buhari who transformed to Jubril el Sudani will feel pain in Aso Rock.
A foolish people who were emotionally raped by the likes of FFK, Reno Omokri, Shehu Sani to achieve their own objectives by exploiting their weakness of hatred, and have now abandoned them like a carcass.
I will advise you the same way you lot were advising sensible Igbos.
1. Only an efulefu will vote or campaign in the zoo elections. 2. Only a one-nigerianist fool will believe Nigeria security will protect him when IPOB/Autopilots have declared a sit at home.
Gidgiddy and other terrorist sympathizers, I congratulate you on the successful destruction of human rights and human life in Igbo land.
But not before the disgrace of February 25th that Nigerian "unity beggars" will inflict on the self destructing terrorists who are unwise men from the East.
Her Excellency, Amina Titi Atiku Abubakar, wife of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has called on women across the country to vote for her husband in the Feb. 25 presidential election.
According to Titi Abubakar, a vote for her husband is a vote to rescue Nigeria from eight years of backwardness and decay under the APC, adding that any vote for Atiku is a vote to put Nigeria on the path of progress and prosperity again.
In a viral video, wife of the former vice president who spoke in pidgin English apparently in effort to connect with the people said her husband is well exposed and qualified to lead the country.
She said Atiku has an outstanding record as a former vice president where he presided over the nation's economy.
"Atiku is a unifier, a cosmopolitan person who has businesses all over the country. He is a man of the people.
"He will bring everyone together and eliminate the line of ethnicity and religious divides who has become very visible under this government.
"Atiku will accommodate and work with everyone, let's vote for him. Spread the message round and let's get Nigeria working again", she said. @titiatiku_
Just like the parties in Oyo State collapsing for TINUBU...every region is playing to their candidates so they can use that support to run for Governorship. Dont be fooled.
englishmart: I have foreseen the outcome of the presidential election. Apc 10,567,098 PDP 12,675,120 LP. . 17,984,925 NNPP 1,023,189 Others 759,870 Screenshot it and take it to the bank
Lol we know the self hate Nigerians. Nigerians are so proud and arrogant...you live 2 hrs from London in a rural community in the UK...good for you and its not my problem you find yourself there for over 7yrs. Please you dont need to insult to get your point across. It is an achievement to travel on academic scholarship out of Nigeria...and out of India and out of China. We know the jealous type...no be us responsible for your dilemma. Once you get to the top where you are...continue your self-preservation agenda.
SIRTee15: Nigerians are so proud and arrogant. See this one announcing he lives abroad as if it's an achievement. If not for poverty mentality, what's there living abroad. FYI if I want to get to London tonight, it's just a 2 hour drive from where I live and it's been like that for last 7 years.
I guess I struck a nerve re Lagos, Yoruba boy. See him saying ibos don't respect their host. Show me any sectarian violence btw Yorubas and ibos in Lagos, but your hypocritical self will keep quiet about the uncountable fights btw Hausa and Yorubas in same Lagos. Fulanis have become Lords of rural area in Yoruba land but unwill keep quiet about that. I'm Yoruba but very pragmatic about my identity. I don't follow Tinubu self destructive extractive political/economic ideology. If we want Lagos for ourselves, then demand for regional autonomy or confederation. That way we can decide who comes in and how they live. So long as we practice the present unitary political system within Nigeria, any Nigerian citizen has every right to reside wherever he decides. He can chose to imbibe the culture of the natives or reject it. He can aspire to the highest political office in the land so long as he contributes to the states. He has no right to be threatend or told to leave unless he constitute nuisance or disturb public peace by his action or speech. The above applies to Hausa in Lagos and not ibos.
The Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, reportedly led over one thousand members of various political parties into the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, ahead of the 2023 general elections. Represented by his Deputy, Idi Barde Gubana, who confirmed the development, the APC chieftain welcomed onboard the defectors from four political parties, including the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Labour Party (LP); New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Heavens1stson: The ruling APC is recently losing high profile politicians in the state to the major opposition political party PDP
I won't descend so low to respond to your use of the word "boy." It is a reflection of your upbringing. A fellow Nigerian told another Nigerian to respect the place they reside in...so since you have not traveled much...those of us that have lived in another country or doing so, respect where we live and respect the culture and the opportunities we have. Even Jesus Christ said...give unto Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar..it is a respect for authority. If Igbos feel like Lagos is the worst, well they can always leave...just like if Africans hate Europeans, they can always leave.
When we say racism since you need to be educated, it's the hate for a group of people that want to love, live and co-exist but are hated just because of how they look not for what they have done. No one hates Igbos and some of us have them in our families...so you are comparing what is not to be compared. It is harder to find Yorubas integrated in Igbo land than it is to find Igbos integrated in Yoruba land...which tells you that one group of people is more tolerant than the other.
SIRTee15: ignorant boy, this is from front page this morning https://www.nairaland.com/7578924/insulting-come-lagos-night-bus just imagine what's coming from the mouth of a nigerian to fellow nigerian. Yet this same person will be shouting racism if europe allows ukranian refugees but denied ugandan refugee. u better wake up- self presevation is real. global resources cant go round, its not enough for everybody. u protect fiercely what u have. until blacks develop africa, nobody will respect the black race, if u like cry racism till tomorrow.
People like you just TALK. When last did you go to LONDON? I just came back days ago...which mess are you talking about? Skyscappers are going up all over London and old buildings are coming down...bought by Indians, Nigerians, Russians...where do you think Elon Musk came from...Native America? or Facebook owner? Keep your self hate to yourself and stop speaking on what you do not know. It is people like you that see tribes and tribalism...we are ALL ONE PEOPLE UNDER GOD and BLEED THE SAME and will DIE THE SAME. Know this and KNOW PEACE.
SIRTee15: U obviously don't know the definition of racism. Keeping a race out of a community that the race doesn't belong to isn't racism. It's self preservation. There's a reason different race occupy different territories on earth, and it's best we develop and prosper on our indigenous lands. Look at London and Paris, once beautiful cities are now a mess, thanks to cultural inappropriation. Even foreigners u fighting for are now avoiding those cities.
If Nigerians work hard to develop Nigeria, we have every right to prevent other Africans coming in. It's not racism. Back Africans don't have anything worthy other race wants, that's why we don't understand the principle.of self preservation. We want to live in other people's land even when they don't want us. We want to force their daughters to marry us even when their families are vehemently against it. We want other race to share their success/wealth with us even when we never worked hard for it. When above doesn't happen, we shout racism. Blacks grow up, stop being cry babies. The only place I cam call home is Africa.
By your analogy, they should welcome the Ugandan girl and then threaten her if she does not respect their culture...shutting her out and allowing others is tantamount to racism. The question is ...do you support racism? You sure do sound like you do.
SIRTee15: It's called principle of self preservation. It's their country, they have every right to decide who lives there especially people who looks like them. Why should an Ugandan girl be giving free passage into Europe, did her ancestors come from there? U Africans will threaten your fellow countryman because he's not respecting his host but wants white counties to open their countries for foreigners with different cultures.
Americans bought English Football and we know they don't really care for the sport. Racists will always be racists. There is a video trending where they asked one of their immigration person, whatever the name of the Indian lady, what pathway is there for an orphan East African girl to enter UK...NONE. They have to Ukrainians...they even allowed them to bypass the process...as long as UK residents are willing to host, the Ukrainians can relocate.
Reinamaria: I doubt they will sell the club to him eventually. It is quite clear they're looking for "valid" reason not to sell the club to an African man.
The same people that want Kanu released now say Simon Ekpa is working for someone else. But Kanu and Ekpa were 1 and 2. DO YOU know that Kanu and co collect monthly dues from SE people? He said it himself...na $1 per person by month...so the same people that have been contributing to instability are now telling us someone else paid Ekpa $1 million? You know what I think...they think all of us are STUPID and don't follow the news. Now that you want Obi to win, you want to put Jennie back into its box. Good luck but don't pee on us and tell us it is raining outside.
Na lie...dem go still vote PDP instead of Oshinbajo...we know that
Chidibe212: 2023 Elections: “Try Placing Yemi Osinbajo Against Orji Uzor Kalu,” Peter Psquare Tackles Political Tribalism
Popular Nigerian singer Peter Psquare Okoye wanted his fans and followers to know that the forthcoming elections should not be handled with tribalism The Afrobeats star openly declared that he was not supporting Peter Obi based on the fact that he is an Igbo man like him Peter backed his assertion by giving an analogy with Yemi Osinbajo and Orji Uzor Klau
Peter Okoye, one of the singers from the famous Afrobeats duo Psquare, has tried to make clear his reason for supporting Peter Obi in the forthcoming elections. The "Do Me" singer and his brother have been vocal supporters of the Labour Party's presidential candidate, fueling speculation about tribalism and favouritism.
Peter shed more light on why he picked Obi as his presidential candidate while making himself a reference point for other Igbo individuals who are rooting for the Anambra state ex-governor.
I am a Christian and so is my church secretary...he wont come out openly but he is Batified and he is a PhD holder while I am more than half way there before you think we are all uneducated
PrinceOfLagos: Cross Appeal among the Osun state Yoruba Muslims maybe
Nah...its to keep the news on the US Media so that when they need to approve more money, Americans won't revolt. They did that for years in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of course, all the monies release goes to US Military industrial complex that manufactures the weapons...the politicians and their families get cushion jobs and positions with these companies including the House of Reps and Senators...some even have stocks with the same companies...LOL, I love America and its brand of fraud democracy.
Dshocker: They gone there to supply and sell more weapons to Ukraine.
The US always benefits where there is war and if you check around the world, they directly or indirectly start wars around the world.
I said this under the so-called Unannounced visit... I live here... I know of US propaganda. There is no way Biden is flying into Ukraine airspace and not tell Russia LOL.
The Texas board of nursing has filed charges against some nurses for allegedly obtaining educational credentials fraudulently in the United States.
In a multi-state coordinated law enforcement action, called Operation Nightingale, the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), discovered that some individuals had obtained fraudulent nursing degree diplomas and transcripts.
The investigation, which was launched on January 25, was aimed at uncovering fraudulent dealings where individuals acquired nursing credentials and used them to qualify to sit for the national nursing board examination.
“Upon successful completion of the board exam, the nursing applicants became eligible to obtain licensure in various states to work as an RN or a LPN/VN,” the board said.
“The board is working, diligently, with all appropriate nursing regulatory bodies, nursing education program providers, accreditation bodies and authorities to detect, investigate and resolve these matters as quickly as possible, including seeking revocation of any licensure obtained through fraudulent means.
“The board will continue to provide more information as it becomes publicly available.”
The board, meanwhile, named about 20 nurses of Nigerian descent, who were said to be involved in the fraudulent scheme.
“The board has filed formal charges against the following nurses for fraudulently obtaining educational credentials. The board is authorised to file formal charges against a nurse if probable cause exists that the nurse has committed an act listed in Tex. Occ. Code §301.452(b) or that violates other law. See Tex. Occ. Code §301.458,” the board added.
“Further, formal charges are publicly available. See Tex. Occ. Code §301.466(b). Please note that formal charges are not a final disciplinary action, and a nurse is permitted to work, as a nurse, while formal charges are pending. This list will be updated continuously as the board receives additional information about the fraudulent diploma/transcript scheme.”
who told you that you have to pick? Why dont you marry both of them....or like KING SOLOMON, talk to them about what they think about you marrying for beauty and business...the one that supports and respect your decision as the HEAD, you should marry. So if the beauty one says, I dont know business but you can never marry a 2nd wife...then she will want to control you and if both of them dont agree to your position, PAUSE and WAIT for 2-3yrs make you no marry wrong...ask those in it...MARRYING WRONG is WORSE than being SINGLE
Britishcoins: All I need is someone I can build my business with.. Or a woman who has her own vision that I will support... Should I marry hard working woman I don't love or marry a beautiful woman that is not too good in businesses?
You just like to talk on both sides of your mouth. How do you know they are rented? They usually give these shirts at the rally and people wear them on top or give it to their LGAs and they give it to their members to wear at the events...some of them sef are made by House of Reps and Senatorial candidates and decide to coordinate those that will show up for the rally. That is what we call STRUCTURE.
GuyWise101: Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Price is reasonable. I made 3 gates in Ibadan for about N600k....bought materials and made from scratch so N170k is not bad at all. Do survey, get red copy and process your C of O...make you no labor in vain. Our people can resell the same land...so sad but real.
Britishcoins: The fencing foundation will start on Monday Already bought gate 170k, don't know if they have cheated me
Another idiotic comment...even Atiku said money wont be useless...You think Peter Obi wont reverse this nonsense as well. Kwankwaso is just following the herd mentality. We are DAYS away from the way forward.
Islie: Old Naira: Your Loot Now Completely Useless, Kwankwaso Taunts APC Govs Criticising Buhari
You need to pray to the DEVIL because Heaven does not do EVIL if that is your point. I am a Christian and I am for a ticket with 2 Governors (Executive experience), 2 Senators (Legislative experience), and Judicial reform experience (in Lagos). You can continue to be stuck on tribal argument...we are voting for competency ...Shettima dealt with Boko Haram and Zulum took over...Borno is now a GOAL...Tinubu transformed Lagos...and now we have Epe and Ibeju selling for over N30m. Keep crying ..even Jesus paid taxes...because he believed in structure and governance, not spirituality behind paying taxes. GO AND READ your BIBLE and FOCUS on Christ and stop trying to BLACKMAIL fellow Christians. That is NOT of GOD.
PeterObi4LP: May heaven pass judgement to any Christian and their families planning to vote Muslim Muslim ticket to oppress the Christians all because of tribe. Amen
If you CARE to, you can TRACK the layoffs all over the WORLD. In US, Israel, UK, Nigeria[/b]....IT Tech Jobs are bleeding because they hired so many people during Covid to build the infrastructure. You dont need that many people now to maintain it. We also have AI.
errandsdotng: Jumia, a pan-African e-commerce platform, says it laid off over 900 workers in order to reduce its cost of operation.
The company, in its 2022 fourth quarter (Q4) financial report released recently, said the cut represents 20 percent of its general workforce.
Jumia said it experienced an operating loss of 41 percent year-over-year, reaching $49.8 million in Q4 of 2022; forcing the company to suspend its “logistics-as-a-service offering in a number of geographies”.
The e-commerce firm also discontinued its food delivery operations in Egypt, Ghana and Senegal where “this activity was sub-scale, resulting in unit economics dilution with limited consumer lifetime value upside”.
Jumia explained that it decided to cease a number of activities as part of its goal of focusing on core areas of the business with attractive returns on investments and clear ecosystem benefits.
The organisation added that it is delivering on its strategy to reduce losses and accelerate progress toward profitability with a major focus on enhanced cost discipline as well as accelerating monetisation.
“Cost reduction is another key priority of our strategy. We are working across the full cost structure to drive efficiencies,” the report reads.
“In the fourth quarter of 2022, we undertook significant headcount reductions, resulting in over 900 position terminations, corresponding to a 20 percent headcount reduction.
“We have streamlined our organisational structure, creating leaner, more effective teams fully committed to the execution of our strategy.
“As part of our streamlining efforts, we have significantly reduced our presence in Dubai where certain management functions were located, reducing headcount by over 60 percent. Most of the remaining staff are being relocated to our African offices, closer to our consumers, sellers, and operations.
“We expect these headcount reductions to allow us to save over 30 percent in monthly staff costs starting from March 2023, as compared to the October 2022 staff cost baseline. The implementation of these organisational changes resulted in $3.7 million in one-off restructuring costs booked in the fourth quarter of 2022.”
The company also announced gross profit growth of up to 22 percent year-over-year, stating that marketplace revenue reached an all-time high of $41.2 million.
Commenting on the development, Francis Dufay, chief executive officer (CEO), Jumia, said efforts are being made to further strengthen their fundamentals and accelerate profits.
“While the fourth quarter results only reflect a fraction of the actions we are taking, we are seeing early signs of success and remain focused on execution,” Dufay said.
“In light of these encouraging signs, we expect a sharp reduction in adjusted EBITDA loss from $207 million in FY2022 down to $100-120 million in FY2023.
“We remain more-than-ever confident about the growth opportunity across our markets and are making fundamental improvements to our consumer value proposition which will help us drive sustainable long-term growth.”
The sad part is...they spread the misinformation and wonder why countries are not investing in Nigeria. Imagine people that have never been to Africa asking me if they are still kidnapping all over Nigeria because its on twitter and tiktok. Na we go destroy ourselves with our mouth.
Why can't you people jus read? Apc dey EGYPT, GHANA H CO? Ppl need to learn how to not store BITTERNESS! It unfortunate fr this event to come this present time fr world economy, we all experiencing GLOBALLY!
Bro I wonder why ppl can't just read! Looking fr any means to vent out bitterness or anger!
It is EVERYWHERE not peculiar to Nigeria or our Govt. Please STOP LIVING IN A BUBBLE and follow the news. I warned about Global recession since last year. UK barely had 0.1% increase in November while Nigeria had over 20 times that amount in growth.
