I thought Nuhu Ribadu lamented that in spite of all their hardwork and money returned to U.S, they got nothing in return to bolster their operations.

Even whistle blowers got something back!

One day true and real reparations will happen in U.S and to Africans.

What do we need to grow the economic, social and environmental progress in the country? If we al agree that the difference between poor and rich countries is infrastructure, which professionals make it possible?

They are not politicians or doctors. Infant mortality in many states is not different from those in poor countries but INFRASTRUCTURE makes the difference.

Make skill workers attractive and pay them more especially engineers. If you want to rate countries, count the number of computer engineers and the schools that produce them in that country.

Stop chasing shadows. Nigerians spend their money with the same mentality regardless of whether they are politicians or doctors.

Primary Care saves more lives in any country especially those that rely on their traditional medicine.

Sorry o!

Jokerman:
Tinubu is the worse of Yorubas. An agbero.

No one complained of MKO or Olusegun Obasanjo

Lier, lier, lier!

Even Soyinka who almost died for your cause is now your target for attacks. Fajuyi that sacrificed his life with Ironsi is now a traitor, Abiola who spent fortune in the East lost their votes but only got some from Anambra.

OBJ you called the most detribalized Nigerian because he brought Igbo out of doghouse after the War was almost attacked in the East like Awolowo. Yet OBJ appointed Igbo into powerful Cabinet positions at the expense of Yoruba.

What else do Igbo want more than the heads of Yoruba?

You thought you could blackmail and bully Yoruba Youths the way you did their fathers that played dead to accommodate you.

Enough of these Igbo demonization, please.

Igbo too must learn to love their neighbors.

Since Ghana Must Go, has Nigeria gotten better?

Protest Is A Right and Nigerians waited too long to Protest against Hardship because we slept when the country was flowing with wara and honey.

They stole the country blind and turned rich country into abject Poverty as Arab countries with the same Oil Income turned their countries into paradise. Did we protest NO O!

Did we join Aminu Kano on Talakawa? No.

Did we join Tai Solari? No.

Did we join Gani Fawehinmi? No.

Did we join NADECO? No.

We know that Tinubu can never be that vicious. Even when we disagree with his character and voted against him in Osun and Lagos, we will not sacrifice him for those looking for Power by Tulasi!

Reminds me of Zik just before the coup!

Placarding different ethnic groups cannot hide the fact that it was an Igbo dominated Government. Not surprising in that Jonathan himself was or is a Biafran. Maybe that is why the Op thinks it was the best Government.

Comparatively, OBJ had the best brains. Brains are not enough. Nigeria has never been short of brains. It is the leader and those elected that make the difference.

Ironically, Ikonjo Iweala you portrayed as a star, never had a private sector job. The same lady that did well under the supervision of Obasanjo and lectured us about paying off our Debt, did badly under Jonathan.

It was the same Iweala that praised the benefit of a good debtor under Jonathan to plunged us into the beginning of incurable debt.

Our money, our oil, we can do anything we want with it. Nigeria went from the richest to the poorest in the world. Even when there were surplus foreign Oil Income.

When are other minorities other than Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba and Ijaw going to be President?

Each of them has not benefited their people. Yet those who cry the loudest and deny ever being President think we have no memory.

Remember that President Nnamdi Azikiwe handed over to Nwafor Orizu and he handed power to President General Ironsi. The Head of the first coup was Nzeogwu.

We are waiting for Efik/Ibibio, Bini, Igbira and Plateau areas President.

You go all over social media trolling Tinubu and his ethnic group the same way you Yearn For Abacha. You guys have a long history in Nigeria of turning off those who support your causes and benefactors.

Yet you won't stay away. Always "travu" like invasive carcinoma spreading your ordained message to rule others but cannot even rule yourselves.

Stay home away from where you have abused your welcome. They are sick and tired of you. Each time you rule Nigeria, no matter how short or long, you bring calamity.

All you pursue is ego in foreign account as long as they throw you bananas.

Brendaniel:
The north spoke and you attacked the south east, are you so much of a coward that you can't fight back those attacking you?

So what did Tinubu come and do? He came to watch them kill themselves as what, commander in views?

As if you didn't join in enthroning Tinubu because of tribalism...
Truly failure has no friend...

They are talking about Tinubu, you are talking about Abacha, you are trying to divert attention away from the real matter on ground...

Well, all I will say is we warned you guys about Tinubu...

Protest peacefully in your states if you want but do not hijack peaceful protest to demonstrate your warped and illogical Yeah For Abacha to destroy other people's state.

Where were you or what pushed you out of your states to Greener Pasture daily?

Now that the Government is bringing back imported food because of Greed, some of us may have changed our minds.

Only usefulidiots point to their homes with their left fingers.

The wave of intolerance leading to zero accommodation of neighbors as Brexit in UK, discrimination against East Germans despite electing former President Angela Merkel and now in France are strong messages to Africans to take and respect one another.

Do not be fooled, the best place for Blacks is Africa. Appreciate your village, cities, towns and respect your neighbors.

No place like home.

Can't Touch This!

May his soul rest in Peace

I might as well educate you.

Yoruba women are the most desirable wives in Nigeria. If you are lucky enough to marry one, they will make your a Chief in your village for bringing home the most Precious. woman in Nigeria.

The reason is they are fiercely Independent, well cultured and well informed. When other ethnic groups ostracized and rejected their women for political and high positions, Yoruba women put Yoruba men in their place marrying whoever they wanted.

Other ethnic groups who marry Yoruba bestow the honors and privileges of Yoruba land on their children.

The most desirable place in Africa

Remember, Yoruba women can inherit and buy land in Yoruba LAND.

Abee79:
Says the Chief Patron! 🤐🤐🤐
All we need is a crop of patriotic leaders and political will. You'll see!

In other words, not in his lifetime since he negotiated for their amnesty.

They also called on Buhari to negotiate on their behalf.

Who is fooling who

This was the beginning of the slide to selfishness, greed and conspicuous spending like drunken sailors that were never seen before. Nigerians became notorious at home and outside as big spenders. African greed for foreign income was encouraged by the world powers Rush for Oil, Gold, Diamond, Uranium etc through illegal mining in villages. Ethnic African groups fought over the proceeds resulting in civil wars.

Kwame Nkrumah, the first African leader to foresee the power of the Cocoa Cartel, formed the Cocoa Producing Countries cartel but was betrayed by South America producers. This was well before the Arab Embargo when the Oil Cartel dictated their prices resulting in unprecedented foreign incomes. It was the same Cocoa Income Awolowo used to develop Western Nigeria into an attractive economic destination for Africans.

Migration within Nigeria and from outside into the Western Region propelled the economy because of the development of human capital with Cocoa Cooperative, industrial estates, free education, healthcare for everyone regardless of ethnic, race, creed or gender as long as you are in the Western Region.

Tolerance and accommodation was the pride of the Region. Western Nigeria was where world citizens got along. The expanded Free Education attracted teachers from neighboring countries and as far out as Asian countries apart from Europe and America. If you hold your leaders accountable, they produce desired results. Do not run or melt into the walls when backed up.

NEEDED: SUCCESSFUL STATE NO MATTER WHERE GENDER AS IN WESTERN NIGERIA

We need a successful not a failed state, region or country in Africa right now. The bottom line; it does not matter which state or country takes the leadership in Africa. Africans at home and in the Diaspora should be able to rely on opportunities to succeed at home. Western Region in Nigeria is the latest successful Region managed by Africans for Africans’ success. We know how it got to be and we can retrace our steps for future success.

All of us cannot depend on any failed state. There is no doubt that if foreigners seek opportunities and success anywhere in the world, Africa where there are abundant natural resources and the most arable land is the place to explore. There is no Superpower that is not involved in at least one country in Africa for sustenance. The Scramble and Amalgamation of Africa was not by accident.

Before Independence, the Western part of Nigeria progressed internally and became the First In Africa in many fields that surpassed some countries in Europe. The progressive development attracted those looking to Africa for opportunities from within, Europe, Asia and Americas. There were American Peace Corps and Canadian Service Corps jokingly labeled CUSO (Canadian Unemployed Shipped Overseas). Many Youths stayed after service.

The President of Ghana at Harvard lecture in Cambridge reminded the world that Nigeria was the place to be before the 80s, when Nigerians got red carpet treatment in the Western world. Unfortunately, after the Curse of Oil brought in unprecedented foreign income into Nigeria, Western Nigerians abandoned their Region to take part of the National Cake at the Federal level. The Curse was infectious, killing motivation.

Is it not ironic that most of the supporters of Trump are migrants that try to overwhelm their neighbors and even become leaders where they don't belong in the first place.

They cry racism, ethnic bashing, xenophobia and intolerance in the only place in the world where they are accommodated and prosper.

Yet, they support Trump and Israel with warped logic, most of which are repulsive. It tells you what turning fellow humans beings into untouchables in their nature forsaken land can do to human mentality.

They have never established anything except fighting to take over.

When we heard they were picking up passengers at bus stops and locking them up for bail money, we thought it was a lie until it happened to a family member.

Oh my gosh, so most Igbo have this same disease! If anyone tells you the truth, instead of working on correction, dem dey jealous you, eh.

Dey play.

Sowore is not a drug dealer like you and Tinubu.

My drug brand is better than yours mentality.

No mind dem. If you want to strike, strike for better thing.

Where in the world do politicians make such outrageous salary? Strike to bring their salaries down. You will also cure inflammation in the process.

As for outrageous Minimum Wage, you better be careful. Abacha refused to pay until starving people beg to come back to work.

Dey play, you hia

Geovanni412:
You people are fighting the wrong fight

Una never serious

We are supposed to do protest about the wages senators earn and security vote

It is the reallocation of that money that will satisfy the minimum wage concerns

All the insults including "father" because you cannot read and understand? Even misled a couple of people. Your words expose your upbringing.

Awo was a pioneer of the implementation of minimum was which he doubled so that the common man can live reasonable well and educate their children.

People like you protested especially when he threatened to jail whoever kept their children out of school.

Do not distract us from the topic of Minimum Wage. Awo was the Pioneer.

MaziObinnaokija:
u are a KID.wic year dey born u? I'll engage the elderly ones from 55 upwards, be it yo father

Read the post again. You will thank Awo for his foresight and curse Abacha for resetting workers brain. Taming inflation was the silver lining.

Awo believed in livable wage, free education and healthcare.

Next time put on your thinking cap when you read about Awo

MaziObinnaokija:
Explain to us how the great Sage is the cause/source of ur miserable misfortune ?

This pointed attack on ewedu or pepper is hilarious 😂. Both are eaten by others worldwide.

Ewedu and hot pepper are even used in their medicine outside Yoruba land. Some people are just ignorant.

Google each.

Awolowo is the cause of all these problems called Minimum Wage

Those old enough or know history would remember that it was Awolowo that set Minimum Wage in the Western Region by doubling the daily paid labor and pay as you earn.

The problem Awolowo caused no go finish. Western Region Minimum Wage doubled that of Federal.

Then comes Abacha! He told workers to go to blazes and strike until they are hungry.

You know what? When there is no money, people will start trading by batter.

Inflation will fall and Naira will appreciate. Dollar and Euro self no go see market.

You wan strike? A begi, strike and come back when you are hungry.

As for me, ai dey go back to my farm go grow food for batter

We all hate chemicals especially the genetic modified seeds only available from international corporate businesses. Many farmers lost their farms in India when they took loans from banks to buy seeds they could not replicate.

Here is the catch, when we reject chemicals and starve, the food aid coming to rescue us are genetically modified seeds and chemicals.

Go to farm and produce your own whole-food, you nor go hia. Dey play.

My dear, may God hear your prayers.

Sometimes we missed the opportunities when God picked up our calls.

What about?

President Azikiwe

"President" Ezeogwu

President Ironsi

President Nwafor Orizu
