Ever since Thiefnibuu won, yoruba cowardss have been making mouth threating Igbos cos they think Theifnubuuu will cover them when war starts.
You guys Yoruba have been fanning tribal wars Igbos are watching you.Donot think it will be walkover on igbo war when it will start.You guys have been making mouth destroying their properties out of envy and jealousy cos you think your Theifnubuuu is on the stolen throne.
I only see is that yoruba cowardds are full of tribal jealousy and chronic hatred over Igbos dominated them in their states
A lazy tribe man who always likes to measure dick with Igbos cos out of hatred and jealousy they enjoyed whenever Igbos are being maltreated.

One day one day, Igbos would challenge you and fight you to stupor,you wil see that it is only mouth Yoruba person has.If you like hate Igbos marginalise, curse them burn all their properties,you can never conquer or dominate them, and you can never defeat Igbos when they mean to challenge you.
Fulani did worse than Yoruba, yet Igbos are waxing stronger.Yoruba to me is Akamu case

You and who will fight Yoruba> Leave their region you no wan hear. We have been shouting this since 2017 but una think say na joke. Until when they start physical attack on you before you will learn.
As we speak, an Anambra man is building an expensive hotel in Lagos. Una no go learn the hard way.

Very unnecessary thread. Dont always be in a hurry to pen down your opinion.

These Igala fool, Ayagba will not rest. We have a video of Atah Igala voicing that Igala is a fusion of Igbos, Yorubas and Jukuns.
How can Igala birth Igbo that is far older and more in population than her. Igala of less than 17 century is now the father Igbos. Wonder shall never end.

Firstorderwizard:
More addition to the already over saturated unemployment pool.
This generation of Nigerian youths is a waste of generation.
I wonder how history and posterity will describe them

They will be described as the most racist on the planet.

One fool cum fake pastor will soon twits the narratives that a certain tribe is responsible for their exit.
You wonder how a man above fifty years will be so childish and tribalist in orientation.

BitterTruth0001:
If you check well , you’ll find some yoruba Muslims agreeing with him on the tweet .

I said it . This one even tagged Arewa Twitter. . He should’ve also tagged Usman Dan Fodio from the grave

When will Igbo leaders wake up to the fact of Yoruba hate on Igbos and make a move to secede from the country>
This people with their vile hate on Igbos are ready to generate another genocide on ndi Igbo just to satisfy their blood lust of ndi Igbo.
In ten years time this story will be spinned that an Igbo GOC was responsible for the bombing of innocent civilians in Kaduna, just as the first coup was branded an Igbo coup today. Ndi Igbo should wake up to this threat and call a spade a spade. We should not be in the same country with these haters.

These Yoruba guys are really insecure. See how they keep opening threads on Igbos on a daily.
Igbos will gradually move out from the South West. It is a gradual process. As long as Nigeria remains, Igbos will leave South West.

The Yorubas have won the election, Tinubu is president, yet these people will not rest from attacking Igbos.
Instead on getting down to business on good governance, these people spend days on thier groups discussing nothing but Igbos.
Nawa! If this is not sickness what then can we call this obsession>
We Igbos are every ready to have our own country, so that you guys can live without Igbos and then turn Nigeria into a first class economy. At least we all have peace and be free from this constant trolling.

The Yorubas with a strong media propaganda have really turned Nigerians from concentrating on Tinubu hardship regime to hating on Igbos. What a people> I off cap for una. Very hateful souls.

I wonder when Igbo leaders will take action on Reno Omokiri over his numerous diatribe against the Igbo people.
Nigerian health sector is in shamble already, and no Igboman is the minister of health. If truly he is sure of those importing fake drugs to the country, the right thing to do is list out their names and let the authority take action.
What Reno is doing is more a like a prelude to a genocide, judging from the intense hate Igbos have faced recently in the country, especially in the South West.

Why GHK Left Nigeria.

I saw a post where Reno Omokiri was accusing an entire tribe of importing fake drugs into the country and thus end up pushing GHK ouf of Nigeria. One with a rational mind, that is not biased, as most Nigerians are, which in my opinion is nothing but ignorance laced with tribal hate, will do a simple Google search to find out the reason behind GSK exist from Nigeria.
Bellow are the reasons as culled from various news sources:

From their linkden page:

The recent announcement by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) UK Group to wind down operations in Nigeria due to the country's forex crisis has sent shockwaves through the pharma space. As we delve into the implications of this decision, Lekan Adekoya Director of Retail, Operations Sales and Customer Success at OneHealth at OneHealth, explores the potential impact on consumers, pharmacies, HMOs, healthcare services, pharma investors, and employers offering health benefits. 
This article aims to shed more light on GSK's popular products whose prices would be affected by the change, provide alternatives that are available to the public, and draft out effective strategies that can be used to overcome the implications for various stakeholders.

Earlier this week,  GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced that it would cease its operations in Nigeria, according to a recent report by Business Day, GSK officially announced its intent to cease operations in Nigeria but will treat its employees fairly and will meet all applicable legal and consultation requirements and would provide shareholders with a cash distribution.
The company also stated that its shareholders will also be provided with a draft Scheme of Arrangement, which may see them receive an accelerated cash distribution and return of capital.

GSK Nigeria said that it has been working with its professional advisors to agree on the next steps, and will be submitting the Scheme of Arrangement to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shortly. The company announced its plans to engage a local third-party distributor in Nigeria for the distribution of its products.
"We are grateful for the support of the GSK Group in this endeavour, and we aim to share comprehensive details in the near future," the company said.
This decision by GSK was due to the forex crisis in Nigeria, which has made it difficult for GSK to import its products into the country.
The organization is a British multinational pharmaceutical company that has been operating in Nigeria for over 50 years. Its products are used by millions of people in Nigeria, and its decision to cease operation is a major blow to not only the country's healthcare system but to the Nigerian economy as a whole because as of 2020, GSK's total economic contribution to Nigeria was estimated to be $1.2 billion. 


With Nigeria being an import-dependent country the current forex crisis has had a huge effect on a lot of businesses, and they have found it difficult to import goods and services, which is a result of the naira constantly depreciating against the US dollar, making it more expensive for businesses to buy foreign currency.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)  imports most of its products into Nigeria, and the forex crisis has made it difficult for the company to obtain the foreign currency it needs to import its products. This led to the decision for GSK to cease its operations in Nigeria, this decision has raised concerns among the company's stakeholders, such as shareholders and consumers.
Shareholders are concerned about the impact of the decision on GSK's profits. As the company's revenue from Nigeria is significant, this decision could lead to a decline in profits, while consumers are concerned about the availability of GSK's products in the country as the company's products are used by millions of people in Nigeria, and its decision to leave the market could have a significant impact on the availability of these products.

Culled from Reuters
ABUJA, Aug 3 (Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Nigeria (GLAXOSM.LG) said on Thursday it plans to stop doing business after evaluating the options for moving to a third-party distribution model for its drugs and consumer healthcare goods.
GSK Nigeria, which has faced increased competition from local companies and imports from India and China, said its half-year sales had dropped to 7.75 billion naira ($9.82 million), from 14.8 billion naira in the same period a year ago.

Its British parent company GSK (GSK.L), which has been in Nigeria since 1971, said in 2018 that it would cut back its operations in Africa and adopt a distributor-led model instead of marketing medicines in 29 sub-Saharan African markets.
GSK Nigeria said it is working with advisers to agree next steps and plans to submit a scheme of arrangement to Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission, which if approved will see it return cash to shareholders except its parent GSK.

It also said the Haleon Group (HLN.L) has informed it of plans to terminate a distribution agreement and to appoint a third-party distributor in Nigeria, which faces a cost of living crisis, rising business costs and a shrinking consumer base.
"For the above reasons, and having, together with GSK UK, evaluated various other options, the Board of GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria Plc has concluded that there is no alternative but to cease operations," GSK Nigeria said in a statement.
Shares in GSK Nigeria, in which British drugmaker GSK has a 46.4% stake and Nigerian shareholders the remaining 53.6%, closed at 8.10 naira, down from a peak of 42.24 naira in 2014.
Inflation in Africa's largest economy, which has been in double digits since 2016, reached 22.79% in June and is set to rise further after new President Bola Tinubu scrapped a popular but costly subsidy on petrol and devalued the currency.
Tinubu hopes the reforms will kick-start growth and attract foreign investors which will help boost inflows into a country that has suffered chronic dollar shortages, making it difficult for companies to import raw materials.

From Guardian

The Managing Director, Merit Healthcare Limited and a fellow of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN), Dr. Lolu Ojo, has explained why pharmaceutical firm, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), ceased operations in Nigeria.
The parent body, GSK UK Group, had informed GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria Plc of its strategic intent to cease commercialisation of its prescription medicines and vaccines in Nigeria through the GSK local operating companies and transition to a third-party direct distribution model for its pharmaceutical products.


Ojo, who is also a past chairman, Association of Industrial Pharmacists of Nigeria (NAIP) and the Nigerian Academy of Pharmacy (NAP) committee on drug and substance abuse, said before this announcement, GSK products had been very scarce in the market and the few available were very expensive, sometimes sold at six to seven times the normal prices.
He said there were a number of factors that eventually led to GSK’s exit, such as the Nigerian environment, which is hostile to businesses, whether international or indigenous. “Everything is stacked against genuine businesses, and only those who can cut corners are moving on, possibly cheating on the system,” Ojo said.
He said: “It has been extremely difficult to repatriate their (GSK’s) fund or pay for supplies due to scarcity of and fluctuations in foreign exchange. Immediately following are the huge losses attributable to foreign exchange movements.
“The floatation of the naira recently could mean that $10 million (in naira equivalent) waiting to be transferred since January may only amount to $6 million if transferred now.
“Unfortunately, GSK, by its own standard and avowed commitment to ethical ways of doing things, cannot do things the ‘Nigerian way’. There’s also the burden of being part of a Nigerian Public Limited Company with boundaries on what they can do normally.
“They had already exited East Africa, particularly, Kenya, which is their biggest market in that region. They will probably find a way to come back with a third party involvement.
“The market in Nigeria deals with established brands, which is not in alignment with the global strategy. The global focus now is on new molecules which are more profitable.”
Ojo said there’s no need to lament GSK’s exit. Rather, Nigerians should gird their loins and make the country a truly great destination for international and ethical business.
He recalled that this is not the first time big businesses would leave Nigeria. “Let’s remember the exit of Dunlop, Michelin, P & G and a host of others. It’s wake up time. Let the new government do something, positively and quickly too,” he added.

You can run a research by yourself and get correct information. Dont allow some people who are determined to make Igbos a scapegoat in a failed economy to deceive you. It will never improve your life nor make you better.
If Reno Omokiri is sure of his accusation, then he should call out names and submit to the government so the appropriate action will be taken.

Reno Omokiri, if you are sure of your position, please call out names. List them out so Tinubu government will take action. If not, you are just playing on the sentiments of Nigerians on a serious issue that could lead to break down of laws and order.

Antitankweapon:
Most Nigerians do not know that the Sultan influences critical decisions of national interest. Yes, the Sultan - a migrant king.
And most times, that influence is Negative/Bad influence, which harms Nigeria's unity and greatness.

Today, we must start enlightening Nigerians so that they can RISE against the ENEMIES of this country, of whom the Sultan is number 1.

As an instrument of this migrant king are the Hausa people, who are as stupid as their forefathers. And Nigeria dies and continues to die because of Hausa stupidity.

In this 2023 election, the Sultan made sure that INEC declared Tinubu as winner, against the wishes of Nigerians. INEC declaring the winner at night was the Sultan's idea. It was a bad advise. Nigeria's future was traded for ethnic politics.

At the recent PEPT, the Sultan pressured the Hausa judges not to declare Peter Obi as winner. Yet another bad influence against judicial integrity and national interest. The Igbos are indigenous majority Nigerians. Far more Nigerian than fulani. Yet, migrant Sultan sabotaged them. This is unacceptable for national unity.

These are most recent interventions of this illegitimate migrant king, whom the majority Hausa people bow to.

In the past, the Sultan usually caused crises when there were issues. The crises between CJN Aloysius Katsina-Alu and Justice Ayo Isa Salami was caused by the Sultan who used Katsina Alu to take over and decide a case against National interest.

Sultan was a major reason why Boko Haram grew so deadly, and ended up killing tens of thousands of northerners and soldiers. Yet, another bad influence to Nigeria.

The Sultan is also the cause of Fulani killings across the nation, especially in the middle belt. The decisions to import fighters and secure high level support for them is made by the Sultan.

That's not all. The Sultan is a major cause of religious crises and intolerance in the north, which had led to the death of northerners.

The problem here is that Sultan's interventions are usually against National interest. It is usually to protect ethnic/religious interest and it has never been to make Nigeria great.

The Sultan is a descendant of a migrant. He is NOT an indigenous king. He is not indigenous to Nigeria. Yet, he seeks to intervene on critical national issues. Using the Hausa people in govt, he calls them to issue directives and threatens them to subvert Nigeria's national interest for ethnic or religious interest.

Why does he think he should get involved in national matters? A minority migrant king! Hausa people are perpetual fools I swear. Nigeria suffers because of the Hausa people.

Only General Sani Abacha had the guts to destroy a Sultan who messed with him. He dethroned a Sultan. Be he didn't finish the job. He should have demolished that Caliphate.

Indigenous kings like the Oba of Benin; Obi of Onitsha; Ooni of Ife; Shehu of Borno, etc do NOT try to influence national issues. They don't. Only Sultan- a migrant would arrogate to himself a power he doesn't have and use stupid Hausa people in govt to derail the nation.

Nigerians must now know who their number one enemy is. If Nigeria must work- the Sultan and his fulani goons must be brought down for the indigenous Hausa to take their lands.

Bringing down the Sultan and his fulani goons isn't very difficult to achieve after all. If Hausa leaders unite and work with the Middle Belt and the South, Fulanis would be deconstructed, Hausas would be free and a United Nigeria would blossom.

Unfortunately, the Hausas are still sleeping in bondage, like their forefathers did. Smh.

Honestly, some of una really need to get a job badly to stop these online incitement that is capable of inciting conflicts.

Ikinternational:
Oya....cry till there's no tears left .

At the end of the day, Ebonyi is still just Ebonyi
A state of no circumstance

How is that supposed to be your business, you arrogant Igboman> Why not focus on your state and get it to compete with the likes of New York, Shanghai etc. At the end, your state is still one backward hamlet in Nigeria, compared to world standard cities.
You are still in Nigeria, with low development yet still dey make noise. Arrogant fool.

Ikinternational:
You that doesn't understand the law of averages, what should I call you?

Which Nigerian is saying to themselves "I'm moving to Ebonyi for business opportunities"

Please, don't let your sensitivity cloud your judgement. I'm not here to appease egos

Even for US, some states are not popular with the masses. That does not mean nobody lives there

Keep your stupid opinion to yourself. Businesses are in Ebonyi and surviving just like any Nigerian state. How you guys will always attack Ebonyi for no reason baffles me.

Ikinternational:
Yes....na cool calm n collected dey feed people.
Abeg shut up.

Move to Ebonyi n die of hunger. Very simple

Im in Ebonyi and Im not dying of hunger. Very stupid comment.

mokwechineme:
Southwest is the hardest hit overtaking the northeast. As an Uber driver and an economic scientist and researcher, i can tell you that the suffering in Southwest has quadrupled. It remains for people to start eating grass, just to survive.
What exactly are Siuthwest leaders doing? The only places you see little light are the southwest capitals and even in those capitals, there are steady growth of slums and ghettos...

The Northeast population are also battling serious economic situation majorly occasioned by insecurity. The leadership has continued to pay lipservice on education. These people need education to be lifted from the crude condition they have continued to be in.

The southeast have continued to thrive and evolve in different economic conditions. Whatever the economic condition have continued to strengthen them that they have risen above difficult conditions and they are really doing well.

The South south are emulating the southeast and they are not doing too badly

The northwest leadership have done some good in that region.

The north central are neither here nor there but their condition is better than that of southwest and northeast

Why cant we Igbos just mind our business. It is their man that tis on top, and that should not be our business to point this out. let them do the crying while we watch. mind you business nwokem

mrvitalis:
Is North not hospitable? Were are Yoruba investments in the North

Warri he lots of Yoruba yet nothing to show for it

Where is your investments in calabar?

Igbos are not hospitable they gave hausas over 30 hectares free to settle?

First mayor of Enugu was Fulani?

Lazy people talking rubbish

Let them stay the fucck off our land, I mean these felas from the south west. Them already in their numbers here, but stay online to abuse and insult anything Igbo. We all should just stay the Bleep in our regions. We aint the same in any shade.

Let the Yorubas stay the fucckk off Igboland, we dont need em. And if you are Igbo living and doing business in Yorubaland, you are on your own. an idiot you are.

benuejosh:
Ukum Local government has never experienced peace since the regime of former governor Gabriel Suswam. He empowered those guys with arms and encouraged millitia in that area. As a typical unlearned and a majority of uneducated people who were exposed to gaining power through violence, they embraced gun violence as a way of Life.

This act gave rise to people like the late Gana and a host of other people. Rivalry between groups then took a course in that area and to calm down the violence has been a major problem. Efforts were made by past government to cleanse those people of guns but it is too late. If a 10 year-old child warns you and tells you to very careful, please do because the next may be your death. They don't do childish Aye or eiya or whatever cult rivalry, what they know is how can you shot a gun. The same Ukum people recently kidnapped a serving commissioner and killed a former chairman that they kidnapped alongside the Commissioner.

The worst part of it is that, as soon as the government comes after them, they 'run into the bush'.

Ukum is where we have the largest Yam market in Africa. They produce the largest quantity of yams in the whole of Nigeria. They are so rich because of the yam business but majority of them are uneducated (they didn't go to school because they farm yams, sell and make money) and got exposed to modernity during the government of former governor Gabriel Suswam. Because of the so much money they have, buying guns is not a problem to them.

Amnesty has never worked because someone who has 5 guns may surrender 3 and keep 2. Or surrender 4 and keep 1. And because of what they did to Gana who was killed after surrendering himself, they no longer trust the government. The best that has worked so far is the government killing gang leaders. And it will surprise you to know that a member of a gang will derive joy in being the leader of gang to be killed and then they boast of 'even the government is looking for me'.

Only God can help with the situations in Ukum, Katsina-ala and Logo governments. But the worst is Ukum Local Government.

With these kind of atrocities going on in Benue na Igboland your eyes dey to dey troll. Continue.

plaindealer:
Rubbish..

This Ijaw clown, you go soon tire. Keep dancing on sponsored propaganda motivated by hate. You will not escapee the consequences of bad governance. Continue o. mumu man

When you make bad economy policies with huge spending on irrelevant issues that has zero positive impact on the economy, you come here to scream some people dont want the country to work. Why idiots always look for who to blame instead of holding the government responsible.

todugo:
Are you mentally retarded or what? What is the LoL for?
Must everything be about politics to you?

How you have time to respond to someone that has his soul eaten deep by hate. This is not politics but hate.
About 89 percent of their people political motivation is based on Igbophobia. I pity them sometimes.

benuejosh:
From IPOB/ESN to thunderstorm.

Nigeria abounds with hateful animals and this bneuejosh is a good example. Pictures abound how herdsmen slaughters his people in Benue, in their sleeps, but his animalistic hates is erroneously pointed to the east. anumanu.

Tinubu has finally solidified his position as the president, the next is to emasculate ndi Igbo and their economic wealth. It is going to be an interesting fights, because the average Yoruba hates Igbos for no reason other than the usual inborn envy.

SWaccomodator:
How can a siting governor no be able to change his own chief of staff.

He cannot sign a contract of more than 5 million naira.

5 million not even 50 million

Thats the brand of democracy APC and some gullible South Westerners promote. A dictatorial brand of democracy where one mans holds sway while everyone else bows to him.

BadMaster:
The only Ijaw man to rule, and now they don't want to give him peace of mind. The Ijaws and other ethnic groups in the state should resist this nonsense by Ikwerres.

Ijawman that speaks Igbo as a native tongue. Dey play

AareGaa:
Ibo land has no mineral resources and gas.

It is a completely barren region, except for the coal, which has no value in international market.
ONELGA is not an extension of Biafran.

Like I said in my previous comment, ibos have done enough damage to the nation.
They're free to go.

What do I expect from a Homoerectus slowpoke but less intelligence and crast stupidity.

AareGaa:
On a serious note, I will be the happiest person if secession clause is inserted in the constitution today.

Ibos should be allowed to go and form their Biafra, likewise other tribes who are interested.

Ibos have done enough damage to the country since independence

You guys must be very stupid to keep repeating this line of propaganda.
From 1966 down to 2023 no Igboman has ever held the rein of power in Nigeria, yet you imbeciles keep accusing Igbos of destroying Nigeria.
From Gowon that collapsed regions, annexed state resources to FG and created 12 states structure, down to Abacha that stole the nation dry, to the current administration that has ushered in the highest level of inflation ever witnessed in this country, tell me which of them is Igbo. If at all, Igbos are the lubricant that oils the country. From Egbema down to Ndoki, and other part of Igboland, do you know the amount of oil and gas that is been drilled everyday> Remove Igbos and watch the Nigerian state collapsed.
God will keep punishing you people for repeating these lies until una get sense by force. Very wacked sets of Homoerectus with barbaric mindset. No wonder the country is such shiithole

Monsignor22:
The Nigerian government under their wicked Military commissions thought they could absolutely crush everything about Igboland including our potentials when they ceded several parts of Alaigbo to other parts of Nigeria, including the Oyel rich parts of Igboland; all to delineate and sap us from any mineral and natural resources. But GOD PASS THEM, in their haste to perpetuate wickedness they forgot Gas and Green energy will be the future one day, now the oil has brought more curse than good to Nigeria, Oyel isn't an attractive commodity on the global market anymore...na gas dey reign now and we have mega-tons of that sitting under the earth of Igboland, keep your oyel and drown in it while you impoverish the Niger Delta regions that own it...we will keep our gas and harness it for the sole development of Igboland.

Una too talk. chochochocho all the time. Cant we just be qiuet sometimes and comment intelligently rather than this too much bragging. Yes Igboland is blessed, which is why we must resist Simon EKpa who is determined to turn South East to a war zone.
