the dude is a yoruba tout ogbeni. His only posts here is about SS hating Igbos and Tinubu going to be the next president.
Only a yoruba person would want a Tinubu presidency.

As for your accomodation rubbish. The middle belt and Abuja has accommodated Igbos better than you sophisticated accommodators who are quick to attack us or wish us to drown in a lagoon.
Have you ever heard Igbos being threatened in Abuja, jos, Benue or taraba?

@selemempe Something is foundsmentslly wrong with your mindset. I discuss issues here and avoid childish antagonist like you. Check my moniker, I am from the Geographical Meddbelt of Nigeria and I love Igbos However, I avoid people like you that are haters of other tribes. You have no idea about what you are missing carrying hatred about.

When it comes to issues affecting us as a country, the day we stop blind hatred and learn to resolve issues objectively is the day the healing of our country will start.

I have always believed that when Niger Delta agitators start their threat, GMB will not take it for granted and this has been proved by this reaction.
All the South need to do now is to hid behind the Niger Delta agitators to strengthen the demand for restructuring and true fiscal federalism.

Bini and the shameful twist of History

Irohinoodua Editorial

June 21, 2021

In the past few years, the history of Yoruba people has witnessed a lot of changes and manipulations to the disadvantage of good conscience. The changes come not only in territory, but also in the conscious distortion of well known honour for parochial gains.

In this editorial, we reflect on the phantom theory fabricated to distort the history of Edo and her royalty and the implication for Yoruba grandeur in the commonwealth. One of the most disturbing in the dusty fume of lies is the new assumption that Oduduwa was a Benin Prince contrary to long standing history that is known to nature.

It thus mean the attempt to castrate the Yoruba ancestry is not only seen in the form of armed banditry of alien landfarers but also in the intellectual circle as seen in the new, festering position of the Edo royalty supported by some renegade scholars.

As the debate on the National Question assumes a major outpost in Nigeria, we chose on this page to revisit the Royalty question in Edo State in the midst of orchestrated gradual destruction of tested and trusted facts of history.

It all began with the late Oba of Benin Erediauwa Solomon Akenzua born on June 22 1923 and left the world graciously on June 22, 2016 and the 39th Oba of Bini with the title His Royal Majesty Omo n Oba Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa 1, who during his visit to Lagos, at a book launch declared that Oduduwa was a renegade prince of Benin. Since 1100 when Oranmiyan, the son of Oduduwa founded Bini, no Edo Oba has ever made such a categorically false statement. Unfortunately, the statement of the Oba has been seized by primordial forces who now claim such as the determinant bedrock of Edo royal past.

We point to realities that make such a claim totally untrue. The Benin Royalty did not dispute the fact that Oranmiyan is the son of Oduduwa. It did not dismiss the fact that Oranmiyan, purely a Yoruba name, is the founder of Bini Kingdom at least in the post Ogiso era. If Oduduwa was from Bini, where did he live for the several years he was on mother earth? Bini has no answer, only Ile-Ife provides the answer as his burial site remains at Ile-Ife till date. If Oduduwa came from Bini, how did he come to Ile-Ife to rule the Kingdom and not Benin city? It was and is still not possible for a King to leave his domain without traces of his offspring and we ask, who were the offspring left behind at Bini by Oduduwa? Bini has no answer, only Ile-Ife provides us with a logical, reasonable answer. We ask again, why were over 30 Bini Obas buried at Ile-Ife, why not in Bini City if that was actually the origin of Oduduwa?

The true story was that the then Ooni of Ife sent his son Oranmiyan to Igodomigodo on the request of the Bini people whose land at that time was troubled by internal strife. He first arrived at Use, and ruled Bini from Use. He eventually left Ile-Ife after which he named the territory Ibi-Ibinu a city of anger or “Land of Vexation”. Unfortunately, some Bini scholars are making futile attempts to link the name Bini to Portuguese influence. This is rather unfortunate and dishonest.

Oba of Bini, Godfrey Edokparhogbuyunmwun Aguobasimwin Eweka born on January 7, 1899 Lagos, Nigeria and died June 1978 never at any time said Oduduwa came from Bini. None of this fathers said so.

Fact: Oranmiyan had stopped at Egor where he married Erinmwide, daughter of the Enogie. Erinwinde gave birth to Eweka, being Oranmiyan’s only son left in Bini. Eweka eventually inherited the throne. His offspring formed the succeeding generation of Bini Obas. It is ridiculous that some royalty in Lagos claim the first Oba came from Bini, which is true, but they fail to admit the fact that Ashipa and Ado who ruled Lagos one after the other, the first of Lagos royalty, were chips off the same Oranmiyan. Oba of Lagos Oba, Ado who came from Bini ruled between 1630-1669, a clear indication he came from the stool established by Oranmiyan in Bini. This truth is often deliberately ignored by those who say Oba of Lagos is from Bini without mentioning his Oranmiyan lineage. This is unfair. Ado came in several years after Oranmiyan had established Bini Kingdom. The Awori could not have accepted Ashipa and Ado if not for the knowledge that both were linked to Oranmiyan, meaning that Lagos is nothing but an extension of the Oduduwa Empire. We hope at the fullness of time, history will take its proper place as against the divisive politics that has now been introduced to Bini history.

To say that I envisaged we will get to this point when this man was campaigning then is an understatement, the question now is how we are going to free our country from him. Please Lord Jesus, don't allow this man to push us to a point of war in our generation. Speak peace to our country and delivery us from the hands of the people tormenting us , including our leaders.

Femi Adesina you are missing it. Now I am convinced you are one of the people misleading the man GMB. It is on record that Buhari truncated the second republics with a coup after Obj successfully handed over Government to another Fulani man in 1979. Since the return of democracy, your boss made several attempts to return to power and regrettably, he is in power now, What do we have maladministration, attempts to gag freedom of speech like he did during his military rule, all attempts to make him think like a 21st century leader has proved abortive, rather, he's bent on returning Nigeria to gazing route of the 1060's as against modern day ranching. A system that may not only truncate the 3rd or 4th republics but can degenerate to war.

When a leader refuses to listen to advice, he is failure bound,

Tdave01:
"Your Excellency Sir, I have heard and seen a lot you are doing for youths of Nigeria: not just Kogi State youths alone and I am happy to meet you today. I made a decision you are the FIRST Person I will visit when I enter Nigeria and I am here. I will use my contact and resources to support your aspiration because I believe it's time to have a Youth as President in Nigeria" ~ Mike Obi.

If the above quotation is true, them Mikel Obi must be sick.

Zygosis:
Useless nation

Did you just call Israel a useless nation? What is your motivation?

Security of life and property is very important. Without it all projects executed are worthless? Do you understand? Did GMB contribute to the state of the security crisis in Nigeria? I leave you with your conscience to answer the question.

Sebastine1994:
It is easy to praise past government because they had no internet those days.

3days ago somebody slapped the president of France.

mention one president that is loved in any part of the world, that has 90 percent approval rating.

Even Ghanaian president is a failure, but he has stylishly found scapegoat to blame for his failure IGBOS

Even the so called Dubai has internet police to monitor comments, they doctor their image to look infallible.

Liberia president the footballer is doing the same thing the opposition did wrong. he now knows leadership is not football.

let us just support our president. There is no perfect government anywhere in this internet age. that is why the government censor internet.

please just support them

Oh Lord let them turn their swords, gun and explosive against each other. Give us peace in our generation. Amen

says a yoruba tout

Why bring Yoruba to this matter. The day the average Igbo man stops seeing a Yoruba man as an enemy or threat that's the day Nigeria will be best.

Here's is someone that made a comment from the SS based on his opinion about Igbo, what you should do is to alley the fear rather you attached the Yorubas. It is best to choose your fight wisely. Don't start seeing everyone as enemy( including your frineds and allied).

Is there any region outside Igboland that is as accommodating to the Igbos in this country today as in Yorubaland?

JONSYN7154:

FEMI ADESHINA AND GARBA SHEHU!!

They have two brain parts, Left and Right. In the Left there's nothing Right and in the Right there's nothing Left.

Femi, what you need to know is that the man you are defending at the risk of your integrity has failed to use the appropriate instruments of coercion to enforce law and order in the North when his kinsmen were busy killing others in Benue, kidnapping in Niger, etc. So, GMB is a monumental failure, I mean the worst president that has ever emerged in Nigeria.

To think that 3 times Nigerians rejected this man through the ballot, only for him to come out and perform woefully beats my imagination. If you couldn't use force to stop your people fomenting trouble, while use same force on another region?

Oga Bello, for many years your people from the North opposed an increase in the derivation of crude oil mined from the Niger delta, now that it is your turn, you want 20%, therefore, I will suggest 30% derivation for states where crude oil are mined.

For the record, I am from Kogi State.

How I wish Remi Tinubu can be more careful during public engagement.The same you had an issue with a Senator during a public hearing on how a woman was molested. She can always make her point without necessarily getting on the wrong side of the people. This is certainly not good for her husband ambition.

Let the people if Kogi and Kwara return to SW and do not force them under Northern region for the selfish political interests of the Northerners.

True fiscal Federalism. Let regions or state generate revenue and share with the centre .
Remove anything that has to do with Sharia and Arabic from our Constitution

richidinho:
Exactly what Fulani terrorist did in Kwara state and every Muslim in Nigeria were happy

Perhaps not all Muslims in Nigeria, rather it is all Fulanis in Nigeria. The Yoruba Muslims that I know are not happy about it, especially the Yoruba Muslims in Ilorin. Non Yoruba Muslims fieom the North of Niger river may be happy.

Yahaya Bello used Aisha Buhari,GMB,Oyegun and Dino to emerge as Kogi Governor only to emerge as the worst Governor in terms of performance in Nigeria today. Kogi is now the ridicule of all in this country, including Chris Ngige of all people while making attempts to mock Faleke.

The truth is that we must all pray fervently not to have a president like Yahaya Bello in Nigeria. If it happened, Nigeria will start to see Buhari as a saint as we are seeing GEJ now. This is my worry. I can't understand what is giving him that boldness after his abysmal performance in Kogi state.

We must know their names and state of origin. Very important. I recommend log term imprisonment and ex-communication from Nigeria after prison term to Syria.

[quote author=Homiesjinxbank post=101542595]Mumu man,what do you wish for Nigeria If i hear Tinubu thunder go strike your and your generation

What is my business with Tinubu? Wake up! We must look a real leader to lead us not all these crops of politicians that will make promises and fail to deliver and people like you will still be defending them. A public liar like GMB that promised in front of Camera never to contest again after loosing election the 3rd time only to shamelessly repackage and contest, now we are all suffering from his incompetence.

Great achievement. We are proud of you guy. I wish we have serious minded government that can support mass production of this instrument from Nigeria for export. This would have helped address the continual devastation of naira partially.

Group of unserious minded people. If I pray that may God manage their life as Yshaya Bello is managing Kogi State now, they will be offended. However, since it is what they wish for Nigeria, In therefore wish them whatever they wish our country.

Hehe he, where is El-Rufai? Rotimi Amechi you are looking for the anger of El-Rufai? How dear you report his girl? This is just announcing the Rotimi Ameavhi and El-Rufai fight.GMB is the referee.

My worry and anger is that all our intelligence services in this country pretend as if they aren't aware of this type of fraud and hasn't been arresting these criminals. The reason is obvious, the children of the rich doesn't look for job in the streets.

I feel you should leave PYO out of YMB created issues. Many of us will do worse if confronted with the situation he's facing. Now I see politicians behind this attack on PYO. Given the situation on ground, I think he should be speared.

Worldtopnewsng:
The amount of corporate tax due from Dangote Cement in the first three months of this year is higher by 47.3 percent compared with the N27.42 billion paid in the corresponding period of 2020 financial year.

In addition, the company currently pays over N240 million Value Added Tax (VAT) daily to the government, making DCP one of the biggest private sector tax payers in the country.

As part of the company’s corporate social responsibility, in line with the government’s quest to boost infrastructural development in the country, Dangote Cement opted to provide funding for the constructions of major roads in Lagos and Kogi States. The roads are the critical Lagos Apapa Port road leading to the old toll gate and the Lokoja-Obajana-Kabba road straddling Kogi and Kwara states.

https://worldtopnewsng.com/dangote-cement-to-pay-n40-39-billion-in-corporate-tax/

Lokoja-Obajana-Kabba road is only within Kogi state, although leading toward Kwara but it is also toward Ondo and Ekiti.

Congratulations to him. Wishing him success.

Isn't it obvious that we have more enemies in Aso Rock than the Fulanis in our forest killing our helpless citizens? How do we explain this type of treatment to a Governor of a state. To say Mr. President is complicit in my opinion is an understatement. If not why can't he change the cruel set of homosaipens working with him and replace them with people that have a strong sense of human feeling and urgency?!

If the Benue Governor is not complaining, it will be Niger state, Bornu or Enugu and the list continue. I watched the video of a motion moved by Senator Smart Adeyemi of Kogi West yesterday and I laughed. The people in the Red and Green Chambers want us to take them seriously they are representing us?! .Start an impeachment proceeding and be serious with it. If it will lead to fracas in the National Assembly, then let the correction of the errors in this country start from there.

Arrant nonsense! How can you make an accusation without the identity /name of the accused? Do you think Nigerians are all stupid we can't be brainwashed like the people being recruited into Boko Haram by extremists?

Identify the so-called pastor if you are sure.

There are many \terrorist in GMB administration. Indeed, that is the reason they are making desperate efforts to defend Isa Pantami , one of their own. This Garba Shehu is a highly suspected member of sponsor of terrorism. Even Lia Mohammed from Kwara state. Look at what the Governor he supported into power is doing to Christians school?

If Nigerians do not wake up and confront their fear of Fulani lead terrorism in Government, that fear may likely consume us as a country

Neutralobserver:


GEJ could afford to keep the price of fuel below N100, first at N97, then at N87 because oil prices were at $91-130 PER barrel under his rule...meaning there was
1.Enough income to subsidise fuel that low
2.Enough dolalrs to keep the value of the naira that low.

Buhari has had oil at $224--811 per barrel since he took over. Thus not enough cash to buffer the naira, hence the fall in the value of the naira, and not as much money to fund subsidy, hence the rise in oil prices.

Either way, the way froward, is to remove subsides compeltely, or fund subsdy via tax increases, and widening the tax base.

These type of Economist are the people advising GMB and that is why this Economy is where it is today
. Economics of the "blame game". I remember GMB saying he built Refineries as a minister.
