DOM7:
from the right source, imagine if it is PDP or worse LP? those bigots will start firing from all cylinder.

The same way you are firing from all cylinders.

Dalohad:
Don't you think it will be better to just let them have their May 30 remembrance day. 3 million of them were killed for Godsake.

Let them have their May 30th remembrance day and mourn in peace, just as we have our June 12 day in the South West.

There should be a middle ground on this issue.

The government cannot continue to pretend that any group of people can lose 3 million people and not honour their dead every year.

Let them have their Heroes day every year and let peace reign. Shikena.


Black people, learn to make concessions and preserve life. Everything no be gra-gra.

It is the Igbo leaders, if they are united, that should agitate for this memorial day for the fallen heroes, just like the SW did for the commemoration of June 12 Democracy Day.

i doubt c o, most likely the sentencing will come up in July, he will be given another one month to appeal, the appeal will take another 2 months, and the he will go to the supreme court.

by then, he will have won the elections already

American judicial system does not run like Nigerian's where you run from one court to another evading justice. Once you are sentenced as a criminal in an American Court, the sentencing stands and must be obeyed, and appealing do not necessarily work to your favour.

It turns out that a 2014 National Conference was inaugurated by President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on 17 March 2014.

The Confab produced a report: https://nigeriareposit.nln.gov.ng/server/api/core/bitstreams/c12fe35b-be65-4f88-a1ad-e8d3352b081d/content

*Is this anthem matter still an APC/PBAT problem?*

Santalpharay:
Presidency, presidency, am I sure you guys are normal. What is this obsession about who becomes the president when you are living a miserable life as a Nigerian. I don't want to be repeating myself on this matter. Go hustle, you have a long way to go. No matter who becomes the president, Nigerians like you have been eating from the gutters since long time immemorial

How many Nigerians, even in your village, have you seen picking his food from gutters? Mind your language.

Nauttyprof:
I might not like Reno as a person but on this one, I totally support him 100%. I know he is supporting the present government but we also need to learn from every word he dropped.

We are insincere as individuals and this is why Nigeria has never made any progress. The word 'tribalist' gained so much recognition after the last election simply because individuals whether igbo, Yoruba, Hausa or whatever tribe we belong to chose to place tribe above the interest of the Nation. Nigerians are the most insincere people and have never for once united to kick out these old recycled politicians who take us for a ride. They look for words to stir emotions in us but in the real sense, are more interested about themselves first than saving Nigeria.

They can easily talk about the problem use every negative situation to their advantage but once they get to that position, the problem persists. Today it is Tinubu, tomorrow, it is how Obi can do it better. We haven't asked ourselves sincerely that if truly they can do it better how come these states are still striving to put a system in place? Why do we still believe any of these recycled politicians can take Nigeria to the promise land? Why?

Can't we for once look beyond these same people we keep voting and yet, nothing has changed. Look at the trend in the country and no one cares to ask, why do we still believe in any of them when we can decide to choose outside these men? The progress of this country is not in any of these men hands anymore.

They just keep talking, stirring up emotions and yet, all they think about is themselves and not really about Nigeria. When are we going to learn? When are we going to unite truly and kick all of them out by voting for someone who is neutral and have not joined these gangs of politicians. We need a new face in government and not these same people.

I will never join any tribe to speak but as it is, the interest of Nigeria is my concern and as such, I look forward to her progress. The progress of Nigeria is not in these old recycled politicians hands. Let's start thinking beyond these same guys.

But these old politicians are holding the country by the jugular through their ill gotten wealth, power (both natural and diabolical), influence and authority. So how are we going to topple them from all their bases of authority (state houses and assemblies and party affliations)? This is an impossible task, except by a revolutionary coup.

helinues:


No northerners,??

While dey just use the two Yorubas there as fake props.

Labour Party is deceiving itself. The LP and the lilliputian obidient group that will evaporate after 2027 elections.

OKOATA:
I be Chelsea fan blue 💙 for life. I dey kpain many arsenal witches for my dreams very well. Arsenal the jonzing team, Ass-Anal I no go ever support dem for my life even if dem dash me $5M dollars.

Ol'boy, na $5m you dey talk o!
At $5m, you will even kiss Arteta, and Saka, and Nketia, and call of them my daddy, and Arsenal, my mummy. You will then deny Chelsea, saying: which Chelsea, that yeye club, mek dem go kpai!

Laple0541:
It’s obvious you are a naive little kid to ask if they stole from my ancestors!

What scamming process is more pronounced than colonization and slave trade? The impact of which will forever be eternal.

Inasmuch I never wrote people should continue to scam others, I only emphasized the origin of SCAM should be retraced and compensations should be continuously made. ‘You gave someone a piece of mirror for gold/human slaves’ Isn’t that the peak of scam? Yet they mostly portray Africans that scam for peanuts as the origin of scam!

If you can read through lines, just pass by and don’t be rude when quoting others.

When you get to heaven facing the judgement seat after your nefarious career on earth, tell that to the ALMIGHTY to justify yourself.

Not acceptable. We expect better performance from them.

kay29000:
But Hamas targeted an Israeli military base...what Israel has been doing since October 7 is like genocide...killing innocent civilians, a lot of them women and children.

If Hamas had the capacity on Oct. 7, they would have invaded the whole Israel, killing everybody there without mercy.

See the terrible killing, maiming and destruction the armed gangs called boko haram, ISWAP and the f00lani herdsmen is inflicting nationwide on innocent people in Nigeria. That's what Hamas is planning to do in Israel.

temmyyem:
Isreal never had a good will, they control the media, including the social media. If someone control what you see, hear and your brain process, you are left with no choice but to love him or her.

Don't forget that the same people you call isreal own 75% of the ships that were used to enslave our ancestors and scarttered them around the world as prophesied in Luke 21:24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

The bible clear says that the true Israelite will loss their identity in the book of Jeremiah 17:4 And you, even yourself, Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you; And I will cause you to serve your enemies In the land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever.

Below is the bible definition of what is called Israel in today's world,

Revelation 2:9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a [e]synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3:9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

Fake mis-application of Biblical quotations which have nothing to do with the present Jews, but with the unbelieving Jews of old alone, and which has been a settled matter with God.

The Muslim religion is no religion with God, because it is written in the scriptures, no man can come to the Father except by Jesus Christ.

As for Hamas, they are a terrorist organisation created to destroy Israel, so whatever the Isrealis can do to protect themselves is acceptable. In the same way the Americans dropped their hydrogen bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in the 2nd World War, killing many innocent people, and which put an end to the suicidal phase of the war.

Na money dey talk. Just like Ned Nwoko.

Eriokanmi:
I always get angry each time I see a comment like yours. Please and please, always mention tinubu as the one destroying Nigeria for the past 9 years. It only became glaring now that he's the president.

Tinubu remains the single Nigerian man who destroyed our economy from 2015 by going to buhari to tell him to run and he'd give him his full support. He was the only one seen at campaign venues sweet-mouthing buhari. He was the one who took him to Chatham house, gave him the speech to read , during which buhari said he's a reformed democrat. It's same Tinubu who flew buhari in his private jets all over, campaigning for him, all because of fulfilling his lifetime ambition later.

Many Nigerians are blinded by religion and ethnicity..Tinubu shouldn't have been allowed to near that place. Buhari came and set us back to 50 years of existence as a country. Tinubu came and continued from where he stopped.

So, he's the one who destroyed Nigeria for 9 years, not the apc. He was the same person who brought up the idea of the formation of the apc.

I blame Jonathan for his cluelessness. He should have arrested all the save Nigeria protesters back then and charged them for treason. He was too soft as president. He didn't listen to elderly advice too. Obj kept hinting him but he jettisoned all his advice, saying baba wanted to rule his government. He realised his weaknesses when it was already late and the apc had succeeded in upturning his government with propaganda.

So Tinubu was the Diezani, and Ribadu, and Jonathan's wife and Emefiele under Jonathan and all the PDP state governors that stole everything stealable under Jonathan?

And it was Tinubu that was teleguiding Buhari's 8 years government, and no more his close kinsmen that were staying in the Aso Rock with him? And it was Tinubu that stole all the money under Buhari's government and is now being investigated and prosecuted for it?

Keep on deluding yourself then if you believe all your lies above.

Oga Tinubu, you are not doing well at all due to the high costs of food items. Do something about it Sir, bring down the price of foodstuffs quickly.

Mr. Guv pay your workers living wages, while at the same time building legacy structures across the state to your honour.

Sheuns:
You and I know that Obj is a far greater, better and more accomplished leader and person than Tinubu can ever be. Tinubu himself is aware of this.

What political metrics did you use to come this conclusion?

Obasanjo had used 11 years ruling this nation at 3 different terms, each term leaving this nation in the same or worse situation that he met it, except to enrich his own pockets.

Tinubu has used only a year. Then how come is he worse than Obasanjo?

Shikena:
So this 47 year old mumu still dey Nairaland with his nursery school questions... na wah

So you too have noticed his questioning habit on every thread? Very irritating.

Elxandre:
If we want a better Nigeria, the 15trn should be used towards 24/7 power supply.
It's ridiculous to earmark such amount for road in a poor country like this.

The 10 Trillion that was earlier spent towards the same power project, what was the outcome? More darkness.

treatise:
Just check out the speed with which the project was approved amidst hazy circumstance. You may ask why was a kilometer completed and street lights mounted.

That's was the same speed with which the Lekki Deep Sea Port was completed by Lagos State, and it became a blessing to the whole nation. It is with same speed the Coastal Highway will be completed, and the doubters and the haters will be shamed and their mouths forever shut.

Where Chelsea wey de happy say them don make Europa league. First class ticket to Conference League

League na league, it will keep Chelsea busy. Far better than last season.

fergie001:
But sack the coach, that's my own.

And sack Onana too. He is a minus to the team.

psalmsjob:
Anybody on the side of justice can never like Sanusi over Bayero because Bayero is the rightfully nominated heir to that throne by the kano kingmakers but then Sanusi was "politically" installed to spite Goodluck Jonathan for removing him as CBN Governor (the first time that that ever happened in Nigeria).

Since Sanusi was politically dethroned by "Buhari" who was part of the people behind the scene who facitated his enthronement unfairly to Bayero he cannot use "Tinubu" to get back to the throne through the that same illegal back door.

If Sanusi was sure of his right to that throne at that time he would not have left the Palace or Kano even if he had to shed the blood of his ancestors flowing in him and it is that blood flowing in his vein that made Bayero to come back to Kano despite threats from cowards who plot his dethronment while he was out of town.

I'm on the side of Justice even if that makes me a miscreant even though i have nothing to do with me being a part of my tribe, I choose to be on the side of justice.

Justice to you is injustice to others (according to your postulation) on Sanusi's side.

Here comes Chelsea's fate on the Europa League hinging on ManU loss. Nonetheless, I wish ManU will win.

lexy2014:
what are the violent crimes in the north that are not in southern nigeria?

You've missed your vocation, which is being a Lawyer. You love asking meaningless questions on every thread, including on mentions that have nothing to do with you.

I know you will answer me with another query.

So at the end of it the Yorubas and the Igbos are blood brothers, then why are we fighting ourselves on this Nairaland platform?

From now on, no more gbas gbos biko!

Let ManU lose that Chelsea may get chance to play Europa league next season.

Bayajjidda:
At least you can buy pepper pf 2 hundred. In Jalingo, Taraba state, you can only buy pepper of N500 - N1000

I thought Taraba, Nasarawa, Plateau and Benue States are the food basket of the nation, so why should food materials be more expensive than other areas?
