They are all my contemporaries and many of them have worked under me.
You don't know them better than I do, trust me. The sentiment you have for them comes from century of mental enslavement from a religion that was forced on your ancestors and now you.
Flangelo12: Doesn't change the fact that's why he got that treatment.
Your hatred for the United States and your inferiority complex to the average Arab, or even Pakistani man has driven some of you to a point of no return. Start taking pride in yourselves as black people and do away with this inferiority that comes from an Arab supremacy religion that was forced on your ancestors through conquest and castration (Yes, look it up)
Indians are 100 times worse. They treat the darkskinned indians worse than animals. Same way arabs scream racism against white americans then turn around and treat the black arabs worse than the white man ever would.
una wan ruin the short lived joy wey naptu2 get on top frivolous, unfounded accusations brought against Peter Obi? Make una for allow that inept mod enjoy the baseless accusaton for at least 1 day nah
HacheNoire: China cannot crumble! It is on track to be the super power!
With or without an inflated population, they have massively invested in human development which the country will continue to reap from forever.
The US government would even disagree with you because it’s the major hub of US manufacturing.
China already invested in the future with less than $20 trillion debt. They were able to invest in infrastructure, manufacturing, education , military and just name it.
Unlike the US AT $40 trillion where debt has already surpassed GDP with not even one speed train to show for it.
Let’s face fact, nothing is close to China as it stands today. Nothing is even near, and they ain’t stopping.
Did India do same? No! Indians are world traces outside their home.
Say what you will but Kenneth Okonkwo is a true actor till the end. He was lucky to find his calling in life and should keep acting, every other thing is just him being a nuisance.
Una go use una hand spoil country name finish and then turn around to accuse the innocent youths of being responsible for the bad name the country has!
All this miracle discovery just so dey can take their begging bowl to USA, EU and WHO to beg for funds to "combat" the spread of Omicron.
TemplarLandry: How would the feminine man do that? What helped him the other time was people's skepticism about the muslim-muslim ticket, and now, they've overcome that fear. Peter Gbajuẹ̀ stands no chance and will be overly humiliated at the 2027 polls.
Yes people have moved past their skepticism and are now enjoying the Muslim Muslim ticket. Just ask Oyo people, may those who are now enjoying the Muslim Muslim ticket continue enjoying it. As for me and my people, na winter we dey wait for, Summer too hot this year
Richtaiwo: It is amusing how clowns have suddenly discovered the country’s security challenges and now parade them as their winning campaign formula. Even if their celebrated fraud were to win, which is about as likely as snow falling in Maiduguri, is he planning to import an entirely new set of security agencies from China? More importantly, how exactly did he tackle similar security concerns when he had the opportunity as a governor?
What makes the whole argument even more laughable is that several of these security breaches appear to have obvious political undertones. One only needs to recall El-Rufai openly boasting about having a role in some of these developments. Otherwise, what possible justification could there be for intercepting the conversation of the NSA? Incidents like that raise more questions about political motives than they do about genuine security failures.
Suddenly? The only people that have "Suddenly " discovered the insecurity (and their voice to speak up) are the people in the South West. The rest of the country has been talking about this since APC came in and started pardoning Boko Haram as repentant terrorists.
The South West remained unconcerned and turned a blind eye, supporting their son while the rest of the nation was on fire and have only started talking now that their political trickery backfired and the Islamists are now attacking their region
Wow you don't mean it and all this time I thought people only wanted to vote him out because they were tired of enjoying all the good things he has been doing.
May vote stop him? Seriously? In certain countries he would be hung
When the Awujale of Ijebu Òde said sometimes ago that Ijebu not Yoruba many people thought Kabiesi wasn't right, but Aláàfin Ọ̀yọ quickly went to visit him he even went with danofijo a popular Masquerade of Ọ̀yọ́ town to entertain Awujale, a smart moves by Kabiesi Aláàfin.
My late father (Olowoporoku) always corrected me anytime I refered to myself a Yoruba (ṣe ara Ọ̀yọ́ ni ẹ ni) are you from Ọ̀yọ́ town? He will said to me.
Baba told me that Yoruba is the name the Gogobiri (Gambari of the North) called Oyo people, the name became popular during the era of Alaafin Abiodun Adegolu because of he's peaceful and long rein, Ọ̀yọ́ people were the Yorubas proper.
Ẹ̀gbá, Ìjẹ̀bú, Ifẹ̀, Rẹmo, ijesha, Èkìtì, Ondo, Ketu, Ùgbó and Ibini were not part of Yoruba. We are all connected to Ile Ifẹ that's why we speak same Language but we are not all Yorubas until 1919/1920.
The adoption of Yoruba name was part of colonial legacy.
Between 1901- 1904 there was a war between Awujale of Ijebu Òde and Akarigbo of Isagamu the war was serious to an extent the British was unable to curtail it, then the British always thought that Aláàfin was the head of all the Obas because it was the Aláàfin that invited them to Yorubaland during the kiriji war, they sent message to Aláàfin for intervention Aláàfin sent his Staff of office to the seat of war but the messengers were chaced away. The British were loosing money and goods from interland because war between the two major people to the Port was damaging the British economic interest... goods can't reach Lagos Port via Isagamu/Ikorodu and Ijebu Òde /Ẹpẹ. The Aláàfin adivised them meet the Ọọni of Ifẹ instead.
The British quickly rán to Ọọ̀ni to rescue the situation, then it was a taboo for Ọọni of Ifẹ̀ to leave the palace or Cross water , after a long beggins the iwerefa of Ifẹ̀ agreed to let the Ọọni set aside the tradition for peace to rein with heavy fine for the sacrifces by iwarefas the British agreed to be responsible, then for the first time in the history Ọọni of Ifẹ̀ left he's palace.
The day the Ọọni of Ifẹ̀ left his palace, Baba told me that all the Ọbas and Baalẹs in Yoruba land including Ọba of Benin and Aláàfin of Ọ̀yọ́ vavated their palace to honor the tradition, the Awujalẹ and Akarigbo order their army to seize fire when they heard the coming of Ọ̀ọni of Ifẹ̀. That was how powerful the trandition was.
After the war, the British started the process to weaknening the Yoruba people and traditional bonds, they finally called the meeting of the first class traditional rullers to adopt 'Yoruba' as a common name, but the Awujalẹ of Ijebu ode, Ọ̀ọni of Ifẹ̀ and Oba Benin rejected the name but the British had there way.
That is the smartest way to control us as a whole. So if the Aláàfin Ọ̀yọ́ said he is the only King that have the power to confer title of Yoruba on anyone he might be right because the Yoruba name belongs to Ọ̀yọ́ people. Its part of colonial hangover!
Iba Bába mi. Iba àwọn àgbà!

Mr we the north central, which one be "us"? sey u no be North central again?
In every thriving democracy, disagreement is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of life. Political parties that encourage debate, tolerate criticism, and openly confront difficult issues often contribute more to democratic development than those that prioritize silence and unquestioning unity. From this perspective, the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) and their broader culture of political accountability in Nigeria represent an important step toward a healthier democratic future.
Too often in politics, leaders seek to project an image of perfect unity while avoiding uncomfortable conversations. Problems are brushed aside, criticism is discouraged, and dissenting voices are portrayed as enemies.
Open confrontation of ideas offers a different path. It allows disagreements to be aired publicly, policies to be scrutinized, and leaders to be challenged. Such debates may appear messy, but democracy itself is often messy. The true test of a democratic culture is not whether disagreements exist, but whether those disagreements can be expressed freely and resolved through dialogue rather than suppression.
This is why outspoken political activists and movements have become such an important force in Nigerian politics. Figures such as Aisha Yesufu have demonstrated the value of persistent civic engagement. Whether one agrees with her positions or not, her willingness to challenge authority, demand transparency, and mobilize citizens has helped keep important national conversations in the public eye.
Similarly, the Kwankwasiyya Movement and the Obidient Movement have energized millions of Nigerians, particularly younger voters who previously felt disconnected from politics. These movements have shown that citizens are no longer willing to remain passive observers. Instead, they expect leaders to explain their decisions, defend their records, and remain accountable to the people who elected them.
In the United States, figures such as Bernie Sanders transformed national debates around healthcare, income inequality, and corporate influence. His persistent advocacy helped move issues that were once considered fringe into mainstream political discussion.
What unites these examples is not ideology but a commitment to participation. Democracies improve when citizens care enough to question leaders, challenge policies, and demand better outcomes. They stagnate when criticism is treated as disloyalty.
Nigeria's future will not be secured by silence. It will be secured by citizens who remain engaged, informed, and willing to hold every political party accountable regardless of affiliation. The emergence of politically active movements, vocal activists, and parties willing to engage in robust internal and external debate may sometimes create tension, but it also creates opportunity.
A democracy does not become stronger because everyone agrees. It becomes stronger because people are free to disagree, argue passionately, and ultimately work toward solutions. The growing culture of political accountability represented by activists, reform movements, and outspoken civic voices is not a threat to Nigeria's democracy, it is one of its greatest strengths.
If Nigeria is to achieve the transformation many citizens seek, it will require more than elections. It will require a political culture where leaders expect scrutiny, citizens demand results, and difficult conversations are welcomed rather than feared. That is the spirit of democracy, and it is the kind of change that can help move Nigeria forward.
as the proverb goes, You no go look for cure to crawcraw until that crawcraw humiliate you in public and forces you to scratch it, na that time you go start to find cure.
Its high time we scratch this itch of corruption in public and fix it once and for all.
Long may the firebrand and outspoken culture of NDC live!
