Land mass is not equivalent to human beings.

40% of the people you see in Ibadan are not Yorubas.

They are Igbo, abi

Keep on provoking the poor and keep rubbing their money on their noses without access

Where is Murtala Faruk, the Underwear Bomber when we need him.

He has the privilege and class to attend those weddings, graduations and other celebrations by fantastic looters, terrorists and drug dealers.

Just blow them up at their parties far away from where the poor watch them.

How can African Militricians, especially Nigerians without the knowledge of history, Agreement and contract suddenly become such Experts for Power? Those ignorant of how the French imperialists crippled Haiti for daring Independence, cannot understand the devastating effects of the French Agreement with West African French Speaking countries. Though the British do not spell out their Agreement with English Speaking African countries with such impunity, the opium effects are no less disadvantageous. Ironically, it was the far Right Italian before she became Prime Minister that challenged France on this. The more they sugarcoat their inhumanity to man, the more they exposed their entrenched racist bias.

Gen Abacha had the seasoned Anthony Ani as Minister of Finance and still fleeced Nigeria. Look, appointing a seasoned economist as figure head Prime Minister doesn't stop Junta from looting. The appointment is PR. Nobody argues with a man holding an AK47.

Soldiers are not trained to govern any country. It is an aberration. Coup plotters don't come with any roadmap to develop the country. Things are done according to whims and caprices of the junta leader. They are accountable to nobody. Besides, coup plotting is a high risk venture and looting the country is usually the dividend.

Soldiers are trained to kill enemies of the country. They give orders and orders are obeyed strictly in line with some rigid hierarchical structure.

The inverse relationship between more foreign incomes and creation of abject poverty in the land of plenty is unprecedented. We mourned the centuries Africa was turned into the Dark Continent while its treasures were looted and Culture debased by the Europeans. Most Africans did not play dead because the Zulu, Ashanti, Ijebu, Oyo, Benin and Opobo fought back. Igbo Landing would rather die by mass suicide than remained slaves abroad.

When most Youths make their first million or less, their question is which foreign country they can move (japa) to. Though the money saved or accumulated can go further at home starting a small business than in any foreign country. Youths have already given up on their country before they make any effort to prosper on their own. It is usually tougher to succeed in a hostile environment. Our Youths are willing to double their determination abroad in futility, but not at home for gradual progress.

Some of the friends we grew up with did most of their schooling abroad. They came back home on summer holidays, the only time they spent with their parents. Hell broke out when one of them told his parents that if they did not bring him home, they would suddenly find him at the Airport. Obviously, he had been complaining that he hated staying with foster mothers in London. He would rather stay home to attend one of the local secondary schools.

Those of us that considered him lucky to have rich parents that could afford such a luxury had to ask him if he was crazy or spoiled. The treatment most of these children got abroad from their foster parents and neighbors were worse than those of stubborn kids parents sent to reform school in Isheri, Lagos. Isheri School near Lagos was enough to instill fear in us if you grew up wayward in those days. So, how could London ever be compared to Isheri?

The best educational system is the one we heavily invested in at home, not the ones abroad we paid through our nose for, so that our children can speak in strange tongues. Good education is the one given in China to Chinese, in Russia to Russians, in America to Americans, in Africa to Africans. This is why world's and Noble Prizes are presented regardless of different languages of citizens for their local achievements, made useful to the world. The cases in point are Acupuncture and Ayurveda in medicine. Inferiority complex kills African traditional medicine (dia!).

NIGERIANS LAUNDERED MORE FOREX TO COLONIALISTS THAN COLONISTS

Africans, especially Nigerians are still developing and sustaining Europe, America and Asia. We export more coal than Newcascle wants. It is worse than that, Africans bleed one another alive for money in Nigeria to launder out in order to live an imaginary life abroad. We are deeply entrenched in the belief we must bleed most to death at home, to survive outside. Many Youth and their parents have become indifferent to the plight of others in Africa. Unfortunately, we have lost more. Our culture of being our brother’s keeper has been lost with our children enmeshed and glorified in foreign culture locally and abroad.

Twist it anyway you want. Which Yoruba were in position or put in the position to command troops as Diya explained?

Ask Ironsi how powerless he was and what happened to him after Igbo coup, when he left Danjuma in charge of his security.

Only a fool without troops would even try or plan a couple.

When Black Scorpion Adekunle was left in charge of troops what happened?

When Obasanjo was left in charge of troops what happened?

When Captain Iluyomade was left in charge of a few soldiers in Ore, he form rag-tag soldiers from hunters and any volunteers to wipe our battalions of Biafran Army.

Underestimate Yoruba tolerance and accommodation at your own peril.

Kala49,

Igbo withstood Ijaw that captured as slaves, Igbo withstood Bini that captured them as slaves and Igbo withstood Igala that still occupy Nssuka and part of Enough today.

Which war has Igbo ever won?

EsomahJD:
yoruba wants to fight the North through proxy war

My gosh, how does this turn to Yoruba fight

United States is locking invaders in cages and throwing them into water.

Lagosians are very kind, tolerable and accommodating people.

Consistently, world universities study the unique culture of tolerance and accommodation of foreigners and their religions that led to slave trade.

Even now, the Youths have to fight back to avoid Repeat or 3Peat.

He simply was stubborn and refused to listen to Akintola on who to ally with. Akintola predicted what is happening today.

okorogodwin4:
We are Biafrians let them declare emergency and let the war begin we are waiting

So, how many wars have you won in your history?

Fulani were one of the fiercest ethnic group that resisted the British. Yet their children have moved away from Arabic culture to Western culture.

You can say the British were acting in their own interest. But using a minority ethnic group like the Fulani over Hausa and Nigeria backfired on them also.

It also made the Fulani lazy. The uniformed ones have become terrorists foot soldiers. Unfortunately, many Hausa joined them as religious converts.

While some Nigerians gloat now for the cancellation of ISESE Festival in Ilorin, the religious intolerance will raise ugly heads throughout the country.

It has also made ISESE Festival more prominent inside and outside Yoruba land. Stay tuned.

Fake story or not, there are some Yoruba widows in Ndi Igbo land. All the Yoruba that went back there with their Igbo husbands lives to regret it. Marry Igbo if you want but only those who stay in the West.

As those like Oyekan daughter, Woke Soyinka and Banjo who empathize with Igbo cause and followed them to the East what they experienced.

Anambra amaka either real or fake, congratulations to the real one

Umeh Nkechinyere, the real 2023 top scorer in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, and Ejikeme Mmesoma, who fraudulently paraded herself as the top scorer in the same examination are both from Anambra State, The PUNCH reports.

Umeh, 16, was declared the top scorer by the board during its 2023 policy meeting, which was held in Abuja on Saturday, June 24, 2023, with an aggregate score of 360.

The PUNCH reports that while Umeh was celebrated by JAMB for being the top scorer, the board chided Ejikeme for parading herself as the top scorer.

In a statement on Sunday evening, the board noted that Ejikeme manually inflated her UTME result from 249 to 362 and used her manually inflated score to attract a N3 million scholarship from Innoson Motors, which was set to be awarded by the Anambra State government before she was exposed.

Even those that never supported Tinubu and voted for Obi in Lagos and Osun states are thanking God these wailers never got in. Every move by this Government is obstructed and criticized by these them. You can guess the nastiness coming from them once a topic is open.

You had your turn and messed up big time. From President Azikiwe that sold his Executive Prime Minister for pittance , Ezeogwu, Ironsi to Ojukwu. Waite for the next 50 years or get kicked out. All the Unity beggars are gone!

You are now the one begging for Unity to sneak into the West.

Charlie Boy or Girl.

Where exactly do you want them to rise up and destroy again? Your hometown or West, the only place you come and fight for what is not yours.

Yet, they all run away from their villages to seek refugee in the West. Go home and campaigne for more deaths and destruction.

Three disgraceful Presidential candidates

Two known drug dealers and one privatized Government enterprises into his pocket.

My drug dealer is better than your drug dealer, no choice!

Better mine than yours.

Hands across the Niger

Anyone that grew up with childhood friends that are Efik, Ibibio, Bini, Igbo and Hausa must be disheartened by the hate generated from politics to overbearing Youths these days

There is nothing wrong with being liberal minded or tolerant. Live and let others live is not the same as vamous and let others take your place. Just to prove you can accommodate others.

Nigerian Youths need reorientation training on how to get along without irritating their neighbors. The same elders that misinformed the Youths have a role to play in bringing them to their senses.

This virus of hate hurts everyone.

Igala own and develop Enugu. Years of history on the land support and prove it.

By whose culture ma'am?

Ime prick dey pain am. Bottomline, the poor have children the rich have moni.

decatalyst:
What an achievement...

It helps to improve the quality of life of your subjects and make the basic infrastructure available.


The statement is a testament to the fact that 94% of our leaders see it has doing US a Favour by not engaging in something that is not meaningful or beneficial to all. They forgot it is their duty to live by example and deliver on their promises.

We have a very long way to go!

It is unfortunate how the defenders of liberal market that supported devaluation since Structural Adjustment, even when IMF admitted at a conference in Ghana that they did not take socioeconomic of Africans into consideration; are now attacking the same devaluation they supported; because Tinubu is in Power.

See Africans!

They used to claim restrictions on dollars and foreign currencies were designed to curb their businesses of importing junk like used materials, stock fish used for fire places in Europe, infected diseased clothes, pins, pencils, toothpicks etc.

Then the big boys used their cries to import water and sugar excessively available at home as excuse to import or lay off workers. The cement factories that have all they need for production also joined.

Read one of them claiming the amount of dollar to naira is not the problem! Anofia!

Nigerians waiting for their turns oppose harsh punishment. Kill, steal, drug and go.

No pain no gain.

Some of the offenses that attracted long Prison sentences or Death penalties are now misdemeanors or actually legal.

Money laundering or currency violations

Drug peddling

Armed robbery

Pen robbery

Child or Adult kidnapping

We tend to forget the major players like Abacha, Babangida, Buhari, if you know any Southern leader that was a major criminal player and enforcer of Death Penalty, please add. But do turn it to North v. South thing or Igbo v. Yoruba.

If Buhari did not come out again, we could have called a Saint of Mohammed just as we think of Idiagbon today.

Did you miss Bar Beach Show in retrospect, we condemn it as Barbaric?

Is there any Yoruba that support or supported Idi-Igbo cause that has not been rubbished.

No mata mata what, it's nice to wake up to a beautiful wife.
