What I find very interesting is how quickly some sections of this country quickly used it as a basis to condemn the South East. Almost as if they had a script ready to use against Igbos...
OreMI22: The East is already filled to the brim with Aboki.
All tricycle and okada riders even in the villages now are aboki. All construction engineers, traditional wears tailors and agbo sellers in the east are Yoruba.
Personally, i don't think its a bad thing. Let people learn about their fellow countrymen. When the children of these abokis grow up in the East and speak Igbo language, they will see that the Igbo people they are told by their parents and uncles as being " bad" are just normal decent people like everyone.
In Umuahia the number of northern youth doing keke is surprising. I couldn't believe it when I visited last year
This thread proves that yorubas are the least travelled tribe in Nigeria. The level of ignorance about other regions is astronomically high. Most of them don't even know that there are plenty of their brethren in the east
JAMO84: They will start telling you there are billions of Yoruba in the South East. But the fact is, unless if you are transferred, nobody wants to go there.
Before the okada ban there were at least five yoruba okada riders in my village alone.
LikeAking: The Igbo region which is the eastern part of Nigeria has many potentials,opportunities, wealth, etc. Yet the igbo region is not a migration destination for Nigerians from other regions.
In summary why are Nigerians from other regions not migrating to the eastern part of Nigeria for work, money etc, the way the easterners migrate to other regions?
Are Nigerians scared of the east?
Is there an eastern phobia/ Igbo phobia in the country? I have been observing this trend for a long.
I stand to be corrected.
You have been observing this trend with your NL account because you obviously haven't been to east to see the influx of northerners on a daily basis. Especially Imo state
ChaleeBendel: Tinubu should shelve his ambition and support Osibanjo
Pride will not let him and he will be disgraced. An OsInbajo candidacy is his only hope to avoid total demystification. Recruiting 1 million urchins to abuse ppl on social media will never change this
We know that already the target is not about Tinubu but against Yoruba nation and we have prepared that all along the game is not on yet some of you will get tired pending the time the real games start. Thousands of igbos can't stand the mandate Nigerians gave Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
You can only tarnish and spread the propaganda but it will not go along way because it will surely end in tears little wonder some of you yet to recover from shock you got when Buhari won presidential election.
But you dey claim to be from Niger Delta all this while
Bonijy04: Reno Omokri should start marketing any pdp candidate, he stop demarketing Baba. Reno and his goons did more to PMB, yet Baba still ruling till 2023.
Tinubu is not Buhari. This reality will soon come crashing down on Tinubu and his supporters
AnonPoet: In an old interview, Bola Tinubu reacted to different accusations from Nigeria's Main opposition party, PDP and he spoke about how the IGR of Lagos has risen from[b] "an ordinary 600 Million Naira a month to 20 Billion Naira a month" [/b]
When he was asked if he truly gets 2 billion naira monthly from the IGR he described it as mere accusations that cannot be proven which he can ignore or go to court and described it as "Envy" and "Lack of knowledge"
He also spoke about how his administration in Lagos was the first to look at the option of bonds and approaching the financial market for funds which almost all PDP states and the federal government have approached in his words, "you must activate the financial markets"
He then spoke about how Lagos state funds were invested in Econet and he was heavily criticized for it but it reaped a whooping N15 billion naira profit. In his words, "we used N4 Billion to bring N19 Billion back to Lagos state" and he then questioned the intelligence of the PDP
He said "when you are superior to them in knowledge, intellectual capacity, in professionalism, you expect that you are wrestling with the pig, you'll get a little bit of stain"
Made 15 Billion but could not even provide Lagos with pipeborne water or a reasonable transport system for the smallest state in the country.
Instead turned Lagos into one of the worst places to live on earth. Ambode wanted to correct Tinubu's mistakes just a little and was kicked out. Tinubu is the biggest curse to Lagos
What I get from this article you shared is that DICON and Command Engineering Depot produced the MRAP and then entered into collaboration with Innoson. Innoson didn't make the MRAP. or am i missing something ?
"DICON in collaboration with the Command Engineering Depot(CED) produced a Mine Resistant Armoured Protected Vehicle named EZUGWU MRAP which has been deployed to the North-East by the Nigerian Army to be used for executing insurgency operations.
The team intends to further partner with IVM in order to produce more military-grade vehicles, patrol vehicles, and soft Skin vehicles..."
seunmsg: Stop talking nonsense. SW voted massively for Jonathan in 2012. He won the zone convincingly. Whether ACN is party of Mpurummiri or whatever smokers is irrelevant here. The result of 2011 is what you liars are disputing.
Tame your emotions
So yoruba man wan deny ACN to drive a dead narrative...I repeat even without a single yoruba vote, Jona for still win by far
