PresidObi:
Oga, you're passing a good message there, but the stream got muddled up from the source. Let me explain.

Lagos used to be a decent place to live and invest, till jealousy came in. Some tribes were said to have come to take over Lagos and chase the people who are neighbours there into their farthest states, and so unhealthy competition started.

People started importing misfits who had no business being in Lagos to come to Lagos just to cause problems and fight for turf unjustly. They were doing that with the tacit support of those in on authorities, tribal bigots among them. They just wanted to control the city, even if it means unjustly.

The miscreants they brought into the beautiful city of Lagos started causing more troubles, extortion, fighting, stealing and other social vices became rampant. They drank alcohol, smoked everything that can be smoked, abused drugs just to stay high and scare people.

At a point, they started forming gangs, and due to turf wars, they had to start joining secret cults for protection. It doesn't also help that the founder of the secret cults is a professor from the same region. What about a man caught dealing the biggest drug value in Chicago? He's from there too!

That's where the problem started. To solve it, you have to gather all those aguero in the parks and everywhere and give them proper education, orientation and help them find good work.

Tankio

Advice from another tribal bigot, infused with bigotry insults, who will take it?

Minime10:
In the North we celebrate all our criminal sons & daughters, our brethren in South West also do the same thing in celebrating theirs criminal sons & daughters too.
It's only those holier than thou people in South South & South East that condemn their sons & daughters that commit crimes and bring them out for us to crucify🙄🙄

Be deceiving yourself. All those Odogwu Malaysia, Odogwu Omah, Odogwu Southie and Odogwu Mexico with narcotics background, building huge mansions in your villages, which your people are venerating daily on social media, where are they from?

farouk2much:
This thing they surprise me. For long. But today is the day i will speak about it, am a devoted muslim and am so proud of my religion.. Why is it that islamic topic is strictly only for muslims. And Christian topic is for all..... Nairaland do something about this.
It's supposed to be islamic topic for muslims only..... And Christian topic should go with Christian only

Because uncouth christians with no home training tends to abuse and molest the Muslim religion in this ungodly platform.

Meanwhile I am a Christian.

So true an observation, and truer still is the counsel of equal treatment between pastors and their church owners or leaders.

DeepSight:
Lol. Says he who worships his fellow man and calls him God.
You are lost.

Okay, you will soon know, when the Devil that is deceiving you now, will molest and mock you at death, which is inevitable for all men. Then the meaning of the word "lost" will be clear to you.

As for that "fellow man", He has been tested by me, and has proved Himself faithful all the time. Try Him too before you discard Him.

DeepSight:
You really look at a Jewish man and call him almighty God. Have you paused to contemplate how enslaved you are?

At death you will know, I am not here to argue with you, since you are deep in your ignorance.

OredoPikin:
Its a remembrance day for their nation biafra and their fallen heroes.
This boy will never sense in his entire life.
Everything is not Peter Obi vs Tinubu
Grow sense

Does celebrating a memorial day for your fallen heroes justify a forced stay at home order given by a proxy and semi terrorist organisation, not recognised by law? Does it justify the killing of 0innocent Igb0 soldiers and civilians in Aba? Can't the governors in the east pass a law demarcating the day as a holiday, as it was being done before in the west on June 12?

rinzaugustine:
same way Fulani herdsmen have reduced your population and chased una out out your ancestral farmlands into Benin republic as destitute refugees

So why are your people still staying in Lagos and in various Y0ruba towns, or have they also run to Benin Republic?

Chibuezem:
encouraging the death of innocents is just wack.

So the soldiers and Igb0 civilians that were killed by your UGM and ESN were not innocent?

nony43:
Stop bringing fake news where the incident happens is outskirts of Aba, former Gov village it is called Obingwa LGA. What concerns Markets in Aba. Nairaland is one blog with one of the highest peddlers of fake news

So Nairaland is the Vanguard newspaper that carried the news? Are you afraid that retribution day had come so soon?

Lithiumite:
His supposed favourite people - the Israelites....why did he command them to plunder and enslave those he helped to conquer......there was no condemnation against slavery but rather a condescending empathy to save his children already in slavery .
During Jesus's era, slavery was equally prevalent and their was no such rebuke or comment against it but rather moralising it.....the parable of the servants and their talents readily comes to mind.

Allow me to teach you further on the ways of the LORD with my human knowledge of Him.

Let us start from the precept that God is not the author of human slavery, it is the Devil manipulating wicked men to turn their fellow mankind to slaves for pecuniary purpose. And as long as Satan is in this world, slavery in whatever forms it exists, will continue to exist until Jesus comes the second time to rule the world.

Then God is Jesus, and Jesus is God. And God moral compass is different from man's moral compass. Jesus not condemning slavery nominally in His days upon the earth is because it will serve no purpose, knowing the will of the Devil is to have men in bondage until his own captivity. So condemning it words, and not in action will not stop it. And because He knows a day is coming when He will arrive to save all men from bondage, then slavery, and all wickedness, will end.

And as for God encouraging the Israelites to spoil the nations they conquered, remember that God is not the GOD of the Israelites alone, but is the GOD and the Creator of all mankind. And He can use any nation to punish any other nation for whatever offences against His divine laws, but chiefly idolatry. The same way He used Israel to spoil other nations, he had also used many nations to spoil Israel at different times.

Lithiumite:
The reason why Christian ideology is so terrible,even Jesus nor any of the prophets including the entire bible never condemned slavery,not even a single sentence against it.

Your knowledge of the Bible is so minute. If God is not against slavery, then why were the Israelites rescued from their slavish existence in the pharaonic Egypt in the book of Exodus?

Also the mind of GOD is astronomically higher than the mind of a natural man, thus He knows things in an higher realm than man's.

And the encyclopediac vision of GOD is greater than the monopediac vision of man, thus He sees things in a wider realm than man's.

hammer567:
DONT TRY ANYTHING, WE GO ENTER SW REGION GO SEE YOUR MAMA.

The last time your ragtag army tried it, your innocent people paid for it in millions s0uls lost. Try it once again, you will shed tears of bl00d.

Tochi3:
..secretly & openly..the islamic sharia state is taking shape.. as the Ruga master poo'hari swore to Allah..

.since slaves are now with a stolen mandate..the sharia state will be quickly acheived under Tinubulation..

..las las it is a very good omen..

And where will ye run to when the "good omen" eventually invade your d0t-ty community?

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.

onatisi:
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

*President Jonathan was a PDP President.*
*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.
