A clear conscience shouldn’t be afraid of his own shadow the way you hateful Tinubu minions are! You ‘won’ elections, yet you’re still scouring the net looking for what LP or Obidients are up to! You’re most likely Yoruba or Fulani, but even your choice of moniker points to your obsession on nairaland!

Without conceding, assuming we say the tweet is genuine, why so fretful!? It’s not like they’re planning some clandestine activity! They talked of engaging in a peaceful demonstration didn’t they!? I don’t support anyone breaching the airside of the airport and camping out on the runway, but these type of non-violent and sometimes inconvenient demonstrations come with a truly liberal and democratic society! You need to see what environmental activists get up to in the UK and other western countries! The police simply go out to manage/contain the demonstrations or tactfully bring them to a halt if they’re inconveniencing the public or endangering lives!

bender79:
If only you understand that igbos don't support rubbish. Igbos are far less tribalistic than yorubas. If osinbajo was on that ballot I'm sure he would have dragged south east with Obi. Hatred will never allow you people understand

OfoIgbo:
Soludo was one of the people who tried to undermine Obi, by making Obi's campaign an Igbo affair, which it wasn't.

Igbos will remember that, and will destroy him politically. That he knows.

Karlman:
You people are actually the wailing lots here...you are the ones crying that Igbos wants to take over Lagos when no Igbo man or woman is on the ballot papers...if that is not madness I wonder what is.

bender79:

You guys think we are stupid

The man identified as Samuel Onyemenam, 50, was stopped while carrying luggage as he entered the country on a flight from Nigeria via Germany last November.

Border Force officers x-rayed three of the suitcases and found that two of them were filled with 83,600 cigarettes, which would have carried duty worth £28,000.

Onyemenam, of Abbey Wood, London, was arrested and pleaded guilty to fraudulently evading duty when he appeared in the dock this week.

Onyemenam arrived at Newcastle International Airport on a flight from Nigeria via Germany on November 26 last year, Newcastle Magistrates' Court heard.

'He had three suitcases with him,' Rob Lawson, prosecuting said. 'Border Force officers informed him that they were going to X-ray his suitcases and two were found to contain a large quantity of cigarettes, 83,600. The duty evaded was £28,530.17.'

Onyemenam claimed that he had been transporting the cigarettes for his cousin and had made no financial gain from the scheme.
Paul Kennedy, defending, said Onyemenam, who has no past convictions, stood by his claim that he was transporting for his cousin and made no financial gain.

Mr. Kennedy continued: 'It was an opportunistic, one-off offence.'

However, the claims were not accepted by District Judge Jayne Bryan, who told Onyemenam: 'I don't accept what you're saying at face value.'

The judge continued: 'You're going to have to give evidence about what you're claiming. It's what we call a trial of issue and it will decide on what basis you will be sentenced on.

'You will have unconditional bail to return to this court on that date and time. If you don't attend, a warrant could be issued for your arrest.'

Onyemenam is due back in court on May 3.

Wainey:
The presidency might go to the south south, I do not think igbos are ready to stop politics of hatred.

Wainey:
I was rooting for Obi until I noticed his campaign is just using religion and tribal tension while using divide and conquer strategy while his supporters cheer him and do worse.
we are looking for a unifier and not a bigot.

Believe me, igbos would have had an easy ride to 2023 if they had played the politics very well.

Spicycat:
So someone from somewhere will just give order and people will comply without asking any question, this is very amazing and pitiable 🤔

Hoelujohn:
You are looking for easy prey to devour. Eyin werey

HIGHESTPOPORI:
When he contests, you will remember he is Igbo.Nigerians are wiser

squash47:
Cry me a river. One incompetent politician has been dethroned. Was it Peter Obi that voted or the masses ? Stop complaining, accept the fact that you failed to deliver and you have been kicked out as expected. Go home!

onuman:
Politics of Inclusivity has no meaning for Bola Tinubu.
If it has, Tinubu wouldn't have said it's his turn to become president of Nigeria after PMB, whereas he knows that if it's turn by turn, it's the turn of the Igbo to present a president for Nigeria after PMB. There were Igbos with presidential capability who formed APC with Tinubu and others.
