Stay at home you people will not hear.

People don't die in their homes? People don't die within just few meters from their homes? Just enjoy your time while you're still here.. Once it is your time, everyone will answer the ultimate call.

The emphasis on Yoruba-Muslim is only a pointer to how far we have fallen from seeing the complementing qualities of people who differ from us, not physiologically but via our man made, surface differences. There are many things one can learn, understand, even adapt/adopt from folks externally and culturally different from us. The way is to simply get off our high 'horses' and see, understand, even try riding 'camels', 'donkeys', even 'ostriches'(sic) and see, that nothing in itself is evil/bad, just the meaning attached to it.

Nigerians are generally close-minded peeps. They see their ways and beliefs as the only true ways, and would do anything to shoke their beliefs and ways on other's throat. Little wonder, we have some of the worst hypocrites on planet earth in the country.

swtdrms:
Thank you, i like your question because it's devoid of sentiment but Basically clarification

Having said that, there's no perfection anywhere but there are situation that you can identify where some things are far from what it claims to be.

Hausa Muslims portray clear semblance to Islam most times, that does not absolve them from several misdoings as we all know it today.

On the contrast, Majority of the so called yoruba Muslims are just Muslim by name and no further semblance to Islam.

His thoughts and acts he conforms to the norm set outside islam. He wants to be seen as a conformist even when its obvious these are values inimical to his Islam. That's the reason the highest number of those involved in ritual activities are these set of people. When he marries, most especially when he marries non muslim, he drops his Islam just to please his non muslim spouse. And most times, he converts to Christianity mainly to please his associates.

These set of people when they misbehave, then people shout Yoruba Muslim, and most times they are to appointed to represent the generality of muslims in political affairs thereby endangering the welfare and rights of the muslim community.

Hope you understand the danger s they portend to us.

Trash. Almost every single act up north does not comform with Islamic tenets. Hatred for education, laziness, al-majiri, violence, rape, lack of regard to human lives, non-tolerance to opposite religious views, disrespect to female folks, poverty, drug abuse and many more. And mind you, God (Allah) has always been a factor in Yorubaland even before the advent of Islam and Christianity, so you can't possibly expect Yorubas to blindly practice religion with the kind of conservatism you guys show up there.. Perhaps that explains the huge difference in growth and development between the two regions.

code77:
Shut up my friend. If only u guys, up there in the North & your folks d world over could practice your religion like your Yoruba brothers do; I doubt d world will be in it's present mess.
Dat title " Religion of Peace" should be reserved only for d Yorubas. Because, they are truly d only one projecting a Good Image for you guys.

Bitter truth. If Islam had its root from Northern Nigeria, I doubt any one would have been interested in the religion.

All these nonsense in this life of uncertainty that could end within a twinkle of an eye? Don't worry, when life happens to you or someone you really love, you will understand that life is beyond being a hard guy or simp.

Hi

imhotep:
A better Nigeria begins by Rejecting APC.
Ask Edo people, they can tell you more.

Edo has suddenly turned to paradise by rejecting Apc. I don't need to ask Edo people - Abia is a visible example.

ojaysam25:
Because we are still celebrating the Edo victory and oshomole political oblivion....dont ruin the moment.

What does Oshiomole's political oblivion imply for the masses? Will that bring about socio-economic growth of the country? Or is that part of the grand plan to return an anti-development party like pdp back to power?

imhotep:
Just reject sai babarism in all its forms and Nigeria will improve.

Why are you avoiding the question though? Pdp or a better Nigeria?

imhotep:
but you want a better Nigeria under APC

Yes, because it's the ruling party. But if APC can't assure the betterment I crave for, I won't be foolish to resort to pdp. Perhaps the time is right for power to return to the masses and not political jobbers. But going back to pdp would never be an option for Nigeria, God willing.

Are you for pdp or a better Nigeria? You've not answered that.

imhotep:
We all know that you desire APC and RUGA, just like helinues

I'm for a better Nigeria devoid of double-faced hypocritical clowns like you parading as proponents of good governance.

imhotep:
And i wonder, how can they trend when Abacha never stole?
Sai APC.


cc lzaa

Oh, I think discerning members can easily see through where your real interests lie now. Nigeria will work with or without apc, and pdp will never be the answer to that. Up your hypocrisy - you would need more of it in case God blesses you with long life.

helinues:
The person's case is incomprehensible....

Hardly the person make any reasonable comments apart from trolling.

Some of them won't get ordinary a cleaner Job with their comments

Apparently

imhotep:
What do you want us to say again?
When we all know that Abacha never stole.
Sai baba

You're shameless. Does that answer my question of why the FINCEN Files allegations on Atiku and OBJ aren't trending?

Abeg come out clean today - is it Nigeria you love or pdp?

Isn't it hypocritical that a whole Atiku Abubakar who many of the "overnight lovers" of Nigeria refer as the country messiah have refused to talk about the FINCEN Files' revelations since the news made it to the public?

Are our "loud patriotic Brothers" who are experts in good governance ignorant of the latest revelations?

For a moment, imagine it was Bola Ahmed Tinubu (the greatest threat to Nigeria's development) that made the list of those under probe. Would nairaland and Twitter would have been this silent? Oh, I forgot the nation is still in the euphoria of the massive defeat of Tinubu in Edo that should earmark Edo as the best state in Nigeria by 2023.

The truth most Nigerian political analysts including the popular ones on nairaland and Twitter do not love Nigeria. Most are typical hypocrites who hide behind love for pdp (and hatred for apc/Tinubu/Buhari) to act as proponents of a better Nigeria. No sane person can claim to love Nigeria and yet love pdp. Pdp and a better Nigeria are two parallel lines that will never meet. The sooner the innocent masses understand that the overnight aspire to perspire political analysts parading as proponents of good governance are only promoting their political sentiments and those if their families and friends, the better it is for their sanity.

Again - Why is the FINCEN Files' revelations not trending??

Mannnn:
Leave my Jonathan out of this please

Write a letter to the US and let them know your informed opinion.

YorubaRitualist:
Other people you have been insulting here since,are they not people's father's..

Pick out the insult. If taking a different stance to yours seems like an insult, then no apologies.

YorubaRitualist:
How many times have your father contested for any seat in Lagos politics.. maybe to you, everyone must be a politician..typical thinking of an average yoruba man,

My father must surely be insulted No be igbo man again? I won't go that route with you though. That you have to travel several kilometers down south to earn a living is enough reason to be mad for the rest of your sad life.

YorubaRitualist:
I'm in lagos, osun village man, I stay in ajah..if you need my full address come and collect it..let me see you do your worst.don't go back and develop your states that have been overran by skull miners and ritualists.keep staying in lagos

I don't argue with miscreants.

YorubaRitualist:
Thrash!!! Lagos is a nigerian state not a yoruba state.it wasn't developed by yorubas but my nigerians with nigerian money.even ogun state that is close to Lagos is yet to be developed like lagos.even Lagos has been left to yorubas,it would have ended up like cotonu. yorubas played no part in lagos development, if really played any part in it,three states in South west would have been developed like lagos..even ibadam, Western capital cannot be compared to Lagos in any level of development

Okay sir, go ahead and contest for governorship. That would give credence to Lagos being a Nigerian state afterall

YorubaRitualist:
Pga shut up!! Go back to your under developed village in osun state and stop disturbing lagosians..lagos is a nigerian state,a formal nigerian capital were trillions of naira have been spent on it in detriment of other states in this country..you have no right to say who stays or goes in Lagos. Even tinubu left his state and came to lagos.he should go back to and develop osun state.there are millions of yorubas in lagos who are migrants, they should go back to their states and develop it

When the stakes are down, we will see who will go back to his village between an Osun man and a flat head from aguileri

proeast:
The part in bold is a statement borne out of ignorance. What do you mean by Tinubu's Lagos? A man who came from Osun state has no more right to Lagos than any other Nigerian from any state.

I left Lagos back in 2013 because I couldn't stand the Hobbessian lifestyle there and relocated to the East.

We don't suffer fool's gladly here in the East, and that's why we always call out people like Ikpeazu for performing below per, same way we call out Tinubu for not allowing Lagos to breath. The bullion van theif didn't do anything tangible throughout the 8 years he ruled and has since pocketed the Lagos. He is the reason why most parts of Lagos mainland is now rotten because money that should be used in provided amenities is sent to him in bullion vans.

FYI, Lagos has a special status in Nigeria, just like Abuja. So you guys should stop this pathetic attempt at trying to make it look like a Yoruba success story because that's fallacy!

You call ikpeazu out, but couldn't summon the might to vote him out. How many states in SE are properly governed by the way? Bring the metrics. If Lagos was so bad, why are igbo men and women perpetual economic al-majiri in the state? Oh, you've same right as a yoruba man born and bred in Lagos? Delusions. You guys should return home and make East habitable first for your youths, before championing causes wey no concern una in another man's land. East is home, not Lagos!

Kessythegeek:
What is even good about lagos presently that you are bragging about?

A decaying former capital of Nigeria? You better wake up from your slumber. The things you are supposed to enjoy as a citizen is now what you are slaving for!

I was even thinking lagos was developed till I got to akwa ibom! You better wake up son — You've been sleeping for too long.

This is thesame mentality that has kept Nigerians in bondage.

It is of no use dragging with some of you. Even all Akwa ibom past governors reside in Lagos. Lagos is losing its glory, yet it's the number one place to be in the country and continue to compete with " African countries" in terms of economical strengths. Lagos is still shit, but igbos should concentrate on making East a worthy place to live first, before championing call for good governance in Lagos. Lagos is no igbo man land.

Drenix:
Oga u r not a lagosian. No talk too much. U self migrate enta lagos

Lagos is a yorubaland. And it's the pride of the west. You can choose to defend Abia too - since it's the pride of you guys up there.

OfficialAPCNig:
Abia has bad roads but those roads are learner where Lagos bad roads are.

Travel you no gree.

Despite the huge IGR from Lagos, there is no clear difference between Abia roads and Lagos roads.

LOL, Abia and Lagos in the same statement? What would I go and do in Abia when even Abia indigenes would rather die hustling in Lagos, than stay back at home to drink kerosene? Tell your brothers and sisters to go back home and enjoy the better roads now and stop crowding Lagos

OfficialAPCNig:
Says someone whose party shared Ludo and Slippers in Ondo two days ago.

We are comparing Lagos and Abia Oga. Ondo has tried different parties. If Akeredolu doesn't deserve to be reelected, I trust Ondo people to vote him out. When will Abia try another party because from facts on ground, the state is a a failed state and yet his indigenes are the loudest critics of Tinubu - such hypocrisy

proeast:
You guys have been sleeping too much in Lagos, and that's why someone could come all the way from a decayed village in Osun state called Iragbiji to pocket a whole state with close to 20 million people.

Put your acts together and send that rotten teeth godfather packing from Lagos State. He has stolen enough already!

When will Abia state be liberated from a kerosene sharing state? When will east be good enough to house its teeming youths and provide enabling environments for them to live and do business without running to Tinubu's Lagos state to make a living? Aren't you guys ashamed? Or self-assessment is a crime in your villages?

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Is not all about taking over

The big question is whether lagosian are ready to liberate themselves
Are they ready to put an end to zombeism

Liberate themselves from what? Can your state measure up to Lagos on any metric? Do you change a performing team just because of hatred for a single individual? If Edo is a quarter as good as Lagos, your brothers and sisters won't be travelling to Italy in droves as sex slaves. Hypocrite gbogbo

jumobi1:
Fair. I’ve checked Nigeria(sum of all state’s IGR) and individual state’s IGR in 1999 vs today too. I’ve also considered inflation.

Today Lagos is one of the better performing states but let’s not act as if all states started at a level playing field. Lagos started with an advantage and was expected to continue doing better.

So if Lagos has continued to do better, why are certain people trying to make it look as though the state isn't making any progress and has been bottled by a single person? Lagos has advantages, same with many other states especially the oil-producing ones. But in terms of most metrics, Lagos is far ahead of many of those states. So why the so much obsession about governance in Lagos and not on those other states? Double-standards?

Raalsalghul:
I don't know of others, but I hate him for packaging and giving us Buhari.

Look at where we are today.

He is a politician, he does things that align with his interest. Would Wike have supported Obaseki if Obaseki stayed in Apc? And moroever, was GEJ a success? Pdp had 16 years to perform, they failed and had to be replaced. And Buhari was the best chance to do so.

jumobi1:
But Lagos is a former capital. Lagos didn’t become the best Nigerian State when Tinubu took over in 1999. In fact, other states are closing the huge gap Lagos once had on them.

Check the IGR of Lagos in 1999 and come back with your figures. Then compare it to now.

And please mention such states! Lagos and Abuja are the only places to be in Nigeria. The focus should be on pressuring other states' governors to perform as that's the key to a prosperous country - not all the noises about Lagos!

Born2Breed:
What is really working in Lagos? Despite their enormous IGR.

Lagos would have fared better if governance was not in one mans pocket.

Die to be in Lagos? That's a new one.
We all know the reason everyone come to Lagos and dying to be in Lagos is not one of them, can you say the same of Osun, Ogun and the rest?

Which state is better than Lagos, bar Abuja? What do you mean by enormous IGR? Google Lagos's IGR in 1999 and come back with your figures. Then compare it to what is obtainable now. Most people, especially those from East would do any thing to be in Lagos because the atmosphere has been created to make people succeed, despite the stress. The question is if Lagos isn't working or hasn't worked, why are indigenes of other states not pressuring their respective governors to change the socio-economic status of their respective states? Why so much focus on Lagos - which ironically is even far better than almost all the states combine? If igbos can use half of the energy that use in countering Bat on leaders from their regions, who have perpetually failed, then we probably would have had a prosperous nation. If Lagosians feel they are okay with the status quo, it's their choice to make. Despite the love Obaseki got, most Edo youths would still do anything to reside and work in Lagos rather than Benin. Why is that so? Hatred should never be mistaken as love for good governance.
