IGBOPROMISE1:
You forgot to add China! They say we’re owing them billions of dollars too, but when i look around the south-east, i can’t see any sign of it!

Look well, you will see the new Niger Bridge at Onitsha, and the new Enugu International Airport.

Funnily, Nigerians owe him a serious debt of gratitude as it was him that showed Abacha how to truly "live" (the Gadafi style), which ended up being the thing that killed him.

This life is funny.

Abacha had been living a hedonistic lifestyle far before he came in contact with real power or with Jerry Useni. He was well known in Ibadan night life cycles, when he was a GOC, for heavy drinking and dating. Therefore Jerry Useni had little to do with his sudden death, but just as a partner in enjoyment lifestyle.

Akinpresident:
Everyone should freaking go back to their country. If you mustn't stay in your country, look elsewhere not the US.
This is Trump fulfilling his campaign promise of putting Americans first. And they voted him for that.

So the other Black or Asian races who are citizens are no more Americans? So you are saying America belongs only to white people who are of European descent, or what is the meaning of putting Americans first? All these revocation of Equal Opportunities Act and DEI are racist in nature, targeting only the minority people.

Stop answering him. He will fade away.

God bless all the lecturers in OAU who has had positive impact on the lives of students. One lecturer worthy of mention is Prof Oorimogunje of geography department. That baba really taught us how to adapt and cope with real life challenges but he didn’t know it yet. I would never forget the day baba knelt down to beg prof ogunkoya to accept my thesis as prof ogunkoya was angry I had resumes after 7 weeks of lecture had gone by, eventually I ended up having a c without doing the project defense. But you see that Mr olapoju, make that man fear my return 😂. I don declare war with anybody answering olapoju as surname 😠😠

You are the original NFA, what were you doing at home after 7 weeks of resumption at school?

Dark clouds looming over the earth, from America, China and Russia. Be spiritually prepared every moment of this year!

UrbaneHR:
My apologies Sir. I cannot join issues with you here or elsewhere especially when your reasoning has a tribal or ethnic colouration. I am a wholly detribalised Nigerian and proud of this status.

I am on Nairaland with that perspective and only contribute to important discourse from a strictly objective and up building perspective.

You've entered one chance with the queer questioner lexy2014 . Your best bet is to always ignore him.

Tinubu is working.

Before his first term ends, even his political enemies will have no choice but to assent to his political acumen and his good governance credentials.

It is just Papa Trump setting up business for his son.

However, a rich man's pikin is always lucky, for he has money to match up his dreams if he is serious.

What is wrong with this woman?

What is to love in trivialising police brutality and high-handedness

I'm sure the man is a bloody silly agbadorian


He and Lauretta should be first on the names to be deported whenever sisi Kemi takes office

Let them come and start catching their cruise in the Nigeria their master is building

She ain't gonna become Britain PM, no, not now and not in a long time to come.

The Conservative Party is always crisis prone, and divisive, with constant membership wrangling. Very soon she will be disposed from CP leadership, especially when it nears election time. Besides she is crude in parliamentary debates, and not eloquent in defending her party position on strategic national policies. Her main forte is anti immigration, which is not so popular in British politics. For the people want more immigrants to do their messy and hard jobs.

Treasure17:
Her concerns valid or not?

Invalid.

CountinBlessins:
EXACTLY!!!!

LET ME GO ONE FURTHER AND BE BOLD, the Yoruba HAVE RUINED THIS COUNTRY. check HISTORY, ONE TRIBE , i mean just one tribe has ever always supported every corrupt, draconian dictator!! From Abacha to Shagari etc they all had Yoruba henchmen. Every corrupt and evil leader Nigeria has ever had has always had Yoruba backers, assistants and Yoruba advisors.

The one tribe that if Nigeria must progress should be removed are the Yoruba. Do this and watch Nigeria get better. i would have said the akpu munchers too but we can manage those ones easily but not the Yoruba.

If Nigeria must progress the Yoruba must be removed from Nigeria. Until we all unite and face this reality we will not make progress. They fought against GEJ, they fought against Yar Adua, they fought against Geringory Obi.

Yoruba support only bad leaders who loot us. No more time to be politically correct! Yoruba tribe are the cause of all Nigeria's probs

So according to you, all Yoruba heads must be decapitated to save this country, because we are the problems of the country since 1914 when your uncle Lugard unceremoniously lumped us together?

Okay o, we Yorubas are waiting for you and your head hackers to come and do your job. You will meet us gidigba at our border posts. Just state the date and the time.

I will use that to buy property.
I enjoy the addiction

Audio winning.
From which betting platform?
And you were not celebrated?

Calitoscassius:
Good question..


I was born in England..

Then the same ambition that drove your parents to Europe is what is chasing the Nigerian immigrants you are mocking here from their beloved homesteads.

Calitoscassius:
What are their brohers, sisters, uncles, and auntis doing in America? Why couldn't they stay in Naigeria and Make Naiggeria great?! just like America.

Why are you too running around the world, according to your confirmation in the thread? Why didn't you stay permanently in your village, eating akpu and oha soap?

franchasofficia:
Ndume is making a honest point.


If you pegged oil derivative at 13% why do VAT 30%?


VAT and oil derivation should be at par or make it 13% and 15% VAT.



If States that generate more VAT wants to enjoy 30% more of the VAT they generated, then there is nothing bad for states that generate crude oil and other mineral resources to also enjoy 30% of the revenue generated in their states via crude oil and other mineral resources exploration.



That's what Ndume is saying and he is right

Even the 13% derivation being collected by the oil producing state governors, what are they doing with it, but to loot together with their cronies.

What spectacular developmental projects have the governors of Ondo, Delta, or Bayelsa States initiated and completed with the huge money they received over the years? Nothing. To their shame, they are still owing their workers salaries, pensions and gratuities. The infrastructural facilities across their states are in shambles, yet they still clamour for more allocations. Majority of Nigerian governors are thieves, and deserve nothing more, until they can account for all the monies they have received so far.

zero8zero:
Then you can offer your wife to the terrorists if they demand for her.. simple.

They don't ask, but take it by force.


And when they come to your village, you can act Rambo for them, that's your choice. But for those who can't do so, you are wrong to shame them on their misfortune

franchasofficia:
They have started again.


The coup was not carried out by only Igbos. There was Yoruba, Middlebelt, and today Niger Delta soldiers among the coupists but you unscrupulous elements always make it look like it was just done by only Igbos soldiers.


You guys also intentionally ignore to tell the world why Michael Opkara the Eastern Premier at Enugu at that time was spared; Archbishop of Canterbury visited him that day and the coupists didn't want to attract British wrath, so they spared him.


Nnamdi Azikiwe the President was marked for killing but unfortunately as it was, his cousin, Ifeajuna who happened to be among the coup leaders leaked the coup information to him and Zik sneaked out to the Carribeans on health vacation grounds.


You guys also forgot to tell the world that Akintola was told about the coup weeks before and he communicated to Sir Ahmadu Bello his best friend whom he aligned with to persecute Obafemi Awolowo which was the main thing that even angered the young soldiers to carry out a coup to stop the political turmoil in Western Nigeria today Yoruba region between Awolowo and Akintola in which they unjustly jailed Awolowo that angered most of the young soldiers that carried out the coup.



Go and read "Why we struck" by a gallant Yoruba soldier that was part of the coup planners and leader.


When Akintola learnt about the coup, he said went and purchased a pistol swearing to kill anybody that near his residence thinking it was a child's play while Ahmadu Bello laughed it off believing his juju would save him.


Tafawa Belewa was not marked for killing because the young soldiers liked him, they only believed that Ahmadu Bello and Akintola were misleading Belewa but when the coupists discovered that the coup was already failing in parts of Nigeria like Enugu, etc, they angrily shot Belewa, a very huge mistake they made cos Belewa was a nice man




The coup was a military affair but they made sure it was turned to an Igbo people affair even when civilian Igbos were never carried along nor consulted.



And why will Igbos who controlled most sectors of Nigeria carry a coup; Igbo man was the President though with less power which he did willingly by allowing Belewa to become Prime Minister after winning the election while he became President which has more foreign influence while PM ran the day to day activities of the nation, Igbo man was the Senate President (Nwafor Orizu), Igbo man was the Chief of Army Staff (Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi), a man loyal to the Igbos, who also came from Eastern Nigeria then was the IG of Police, Igbo man was the documented richest man in Nigeria then (Sir Louis Ojukwu, Ojukwu's father).


Igbos dominated even Northern civil service because they were the most learned and qualified then which made Bello to issue a statement that they will stop hiring Igbos and start hiring foreigners if they can't find Northerners to fill the position, and also made Awolowo to start free education in Western Nigeria to enable them catch up with Igbos occupying virtually all positions including in Western Nigeria.



So there was no need for Igbos to carry out coup, the coup was entirely carried out by young, naive soldiers of which majority were Igbos from today Southeast and South South/Niger Delta in their foolish effort to rescue Nigeria from the hands of corrupt Nigerian politicians the British people handed power to.



But due to the already brewing envy against Igbos for cheerleading in most sectors in Nigeria then by the Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas, the coup was conveniently tagged an Igbo coup just as Yorubas conveniently tagged Peter Obi an Igbo Presidential candidate despite Obi winning massively outside Igbo states including in Lagos, Middlebelt, Northeast and Abuja.


Una go tire sha.



We will keep exposing you guy's lies and hatred for Igbos, all thanks to social media and Internet, so gone are the days of spreading dangerous propaganda against Igbos using Lagos-Ibadan expressway brown envelope newspapers

Series of lies concocted as truth to suit a tribal sentiments. But as long as they pacify your hard conscience concerning the widespread tragedy your blood brothers instigated on innocent families across the nation, which also affected your own Igbo people during the civil war, then you are free to hold on to your selfish belief.

But the facts, according to the living witnesses of what truly transpired on that inglorious day, certainly disproved your self made history above.

NSK4U:
Which they forever pay the price? Are you better off than them? If you are, why selling all your land to them to japa? The same people that you claim are paying price bounced back to compete with you that never lost any property to war and you don't think you are holding yourself down trying to hold the moving train down?

The ship of progress has left, it's sailing safely for the Igbos, those who think they are better off should first free themselves of almajiri and 'uncle please give me money to eat voices echoing in every corner of their streets'.

Keep on deceiving yourself, your people who the same Almajiris recently kidnapped along Enugu Nsukka road, have you rescued them?

kettykin:
No Igbo is crying here. What we’re witnessing is pure selective amnesia, FFK. You’ve conveniently jumped into the middle of the book, ignoring the critical beginning.

Let’s set the record straight: Awolowo was rotting in prison, serving time for treasonable felony—a lost cause in every sense of the word. Western Nigeria was under a state of emergency, chaos engulfed the region, and no one was weeping for him. Yet, here you are, fast-forwarding to a chapter where a group of military officers stepped in to restore order, conveniently skipping the blood-soaked prologue.

Even more hypocritical is your silence on Awolowo’s eventual forced suicide, a tragic culmination that elicited no national mourning. Or the thousands slaughtered during Operation Wetie, victims of unspeakable violence. Where were the tears then?

And now, you dare shed crocodile tears when soldiers tear each other apart but turn mute when the same horrors are inflicted on innocent civilians? Spare us the double standards. This is not selective memory—it’s deliberate hypocrisy.

If it was about Awolowo, according to your self-serving narrative, why was he not released by Ironsi immediately power was handed over to him by his power hungry Igbo kinsmen? Why was it left until Gowon took over government before Awo was released?

The other tribes in Nigeria are very much aware of the Igbo domineering attitude and nepotism, and are wary of you taking over governance in this country. Because you people will only selfishly and greedily take over every sector of the economy with impunity, with total disregard to other tribes' feelings or complaints.

Besides your people never love the country, but yourselves alone, and we all know that you are only praying for the destruction of the country, so why should we hand it over to you?

Last Friday, January 10, 2025, Oyo State Government announced Prince Akeem Owoade as the new Aláàfin of Oyo-elect. The state government said that its announcement was final. Hours after the announcement, an audio went viral. In the audio, the Àwíse Àgbáyé (Chief diviner worldwide), Professor Wande Abimbola, spoke about the circumstances surrounding the selection of Prince Owoade as Aláàfin-designate.

The former Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, said that following the near impasse that characterised the selection of another Ikú Bàbá Yèyé for Oyo, he was contacted by Governor Seyi Makinde to use Ifá divination to select a new Aláàfin. He added that he travelled down from his US base to Oyo, and spent 10 days on the divination mat, asking Ifá about all the eligible princes. Ifá, he added, picked Owoade and the report, 21 pages, was put together by the Òyìbó wife of the Àwíse and sent to the governor.

My curiosity arose when Baba Abimbola said that almost a year after submitting the report, Governor Makinde called again to ask for another Ifá divination to select two alternatives to the first choice by Ifá. The renowned Babalawo said that that could probably be to avoid a situation where, after investigation on the character of the initial choice, there were found some blemishes on his personality! I was alarmed that Àwíse Àgbáyé could express that line of argument after Ifá had made a choice among many princes presented for divination!

Like Baba Abimbola said, nobody has ever questioned his integrity in all the positions he has held in academics and politics. The hallmark of a Babalawo is truthfulness. Asking the Àwíse Àgbáyé to consult Ifá on the all-important matter of Aláàfin is the right choice. But I am worried that when Governor Makinde asked for a second divination, he did not lecture the governor that Ifá kìí paró (Ifá does not lie), Òpèlè kìí s’èké (Òpèlè does not play tricks), and insisted that there would be no second divination.

I am shocked that Baba did not insist that Ifá is Elérìí Ìpín (the one who witnesses destiny), and as such, knows the destiny of Owoade right from his conception, and that Ifá would not in any way make the mistake of choosing a picaro as the Aláàfin! I am not a Babalawo, but I know that Baba Abimbola knows that no matter what anyone might have done in the secret, Ifá has the capacity to reveal it as contained in the common refrain by Babalawos that “ìtànsán oòrùn yí ó fi ó hán (the breaking of the sun will reveal you)!

My second problem with the selection process is the fact that it was the governor, and not the Òyómèsì (Oyo kingmakers), who consulted the Àwíse Àgbáyé for divination. In that audio, the Àwíse asked all Yoruba to stick to the culture of the race. One of the cultures of the race pertaining to the selection of an oba is that the kingmakers are the ones who do the selection through the guidance of Ifá.

Umuinyioku:
What's your level of education?

I want to know because you sound half baked and crass illiterate.

Government is a continuum. If Buhari arrested him and has left Office, the incumbent has statutory role to play in adjudication of the case. That's why I am question your level of education and intelligence.

Tinubu can make pronounment on the matter because he is the president.

Illiteracy is a disease!

Without your daily dose of insultive comments, you will lose your insanity. Hope you are getting okay now with your mad venting on this thread? If not, try more insults and you will be alright las las.

As for your man, MNK, let me repeat for your insipid mind to digest. Beg Jubril Elsudan, who initially jailed him, to release him, because if you are waiting for Tinubu to do so for you, then my mad bros, you get an eternity to wait for.

Umuinyioku:
If Your Tinubu is sincere, Why has he refused to release Nnamdi KANU since he holds ace to peace in the region?

Beg Jubril Elsudan to release your man, and not Tinubu who has nothing to do with his incarceration.

Not yet

Okay I thought this was the final when the match went into extra time. My bad.

Against all odds, Man U won the FA Cup this year. Big congrats to them.

Arsenal have the the upper hand in this, and should win it. And they are certainly missing Bukayo Saka's deft touches. If he was in this match, it would not have entered extra time.
