Flathead8: Awolowo observed in 1940 that Igbo politics was built on hate for Yoruba people and obsession for their heritage. As it was in those days, so it is today. Embracing from a people obsessed to destroy you to rise at your back is ethnic suicide. A quick walk on history lane 1951, Zikism politics of the East was built on a near obsession to conquer westen region through politics. The sage checkmated this and saved us from a people who would have boasted today of how they conquered us, same way they hype their influence in their local London ( Lagos)
1961-66, First republic, NCNC did everything to destroy Yoruba nationalism and destroy its leaders. Broke Midwest from western region, worked with saros to have an enquiry on Awo ( led by Coker), put the sage in jail and ran his party underground.
1967 - In Ojukwu's struggle for Biafra, he claimed to be upset with Gowon and the North but matched his army towards Lagos to sack western region and assert his influence as an overlord before Obasanjo halted the Biafra invading army at Ore.
1978-1983, second republic politics was a gangup of Ekweme, Zik and later Ojukwu to isolate Yoruba politicians led by Awolowo to support Shagari and once again force Yoruba people into opposition as they did ij the first republic.
2010-2015, sons of Zik teamed up with GEJ to ostracize Yoruba politicians and force them into opposition like their fathers did and schemed to assert politicial influence in the commercial centers of Yorubaland as their pressured the govt to declare Lagos as a non Yoruba state.
2016 - present, IPOB, acting as pseudo militant wing of Eastern politics showed open hatred against Yoruba elites, built fake friendship with Yoruba nationalists & used the influence to burn down Lagos during endsars to avenge GEJ defeat that removed them from corridors of power.
2023, Election season, Atiku/North gets soft landings while all hate/ attacks and smear campaigns is directed to Yoruba elites and heroes including Awolowo and MKO with the propogandists using the saros and minorities like their fathers did with the likes of Macaulay and Coker.
Once again like Ojukwu narhed soldiers to Ore, their political cannons face the west and the Jubrils of Sudan/supporters of APC are their friends once again. The mistress is back with her sugardaddy.
One from among a people who seek your downfall to rise can NEVER be your messiah. March to the houses of your elites and force them to bend to your will... NEVER embrace an alien from a people with a hsitory of obsession to make you second class citizens in your ancestral home.

HomoSapiien: If Tinubu was a coward, he would not voice one bit about the implication of the kind of frenzy and panic some elements in the current government are trying to activate on Nigerians.
Before the presidential primaries, it was rumored that Malami was supporting Emefiele to clinch the presidential ticket, hence we can always say, since Abba Kyari who was the former owner of Emefiele, died, Malami has taken over in putting leash on his neck and directing him wherever he so will.
Nobody is against the new naira policy but question is, why didn’t the circulate the new notes since it was printed out in December? Why is it now that it’s just barely a week to the deadline that they’re trying to compel everyone to get it from the banks, when actually they’re yet to distribute enough to the banks?
Why should they try to frustrate Nigerians, why should they cause unnecessary panic in the public?
There was no real fuel scarcity for the past 6 years, how come it’s starting now?
Now, Tinubu has shown that he’s ahead, confident and not a coward the more reason why he voiced out yesterday. If it were some Lilly liver politician, he would remain muted while these elements make Nigerians angry at him, but now that he's voiced out, expect this who thing to disappear in a few days.
The cabals (Malami and co) know quite well that should Tinubu president, it'd not be business for them as it currently is with Buhari, they're scared and they probably striked a bargain with Atiku and they're eager to work with him so they can have food on their table again.
Because you can see clearly how fast Atiku campaign team quickly replied back to Tinubu outburst. They never expected he would be bold enough to call out the cabal and they know quite well that with that outburst, their game plan is going down.
Don't forget it was until he voiced out prior the primaries before Buhari's cabal go down low, now he's voiced out again and they'd have no option that to go down low. Watch out!
WATCH: Unknown Gunmen Ambush Man Wearing Peter Obi’s Campaign T-shirt, Destroy Car, Insist No Political Campaign In Southeast Nigeria pic.twitter.com/EZz32W2LjI
My dear brother, it looks very much like a scripted video.
1. The wearer of the t-shirt did not even know the face of the politician on the t-shirt that he was wearing, when that was meant to be the real issue. What a joke.
2. The accuser/criminal that was meant to point at Peter Obi, finally said dont wear t-shirts of politicians, when he noticed the mistake. Bad actors, who did not rehearse well before acting.
3. The filmer was very calm and filming, also, the onlookers were so calm and nobody was running for cover (watch the spectators), even when the shooter shot the tires. Shooting tires normally means, we dont want to hurt you nor do any serious harm.
4. Watch the victim very well, he was acting and not in lethal fear. Normally, when faced with such people threatening to kill you, even if you are a trained soldier or policeman, your body language speaks louder than words, as its normal for fear to set in and the body wants to preserve itself. Its a reflex act that shows. This did not really happen. The begging of the victim looked acted. Watch it again.
5. Watch how the unkown gun man put back the victim’s cap, hahahahahahahaha. Nollywood dey try sha, but these appear to be rented actors, to act a script and instill fear into people in the South East to not come out and vote. All this…..even pockets of real violence have been predicted….to happen, with the motive to cause voter apathy (similar to sit at home directives during elections).
6. It is not fair to falsely label people and indirectly or directly call them names which they are not (this appears to be a trend) which is very unfortunate. Mims was asked whether she is IPOB, which is very unfortunate. Like some others here, she merely highlighted her doubts if this was really IPOB.
Reference IPOB, there are many factions, even criminals now use IPOB as a cover, plus, there are agent provocateurs that also act in the name of IPOB. It is a deep issue, thus, not fair throwing such a false label on people, even when asking a question.
7. We are in a political season and politicians who get desperate will try all kinds of dirty tricks to win, thus, it is advisable that we all be cautious, but also, refrain from falsely labelling others or falsely accusing others (especially when untrue). People provoked can act in may ways and nobody has a monopoly of anything.
Please, lets live and let live, lets run our own race and leave others to run theirs.
At the end of the day, what most people want, is for a better Nigeria to emerge, where security, stability and economic prosperity will flourish again.
Nlanalyst: No current Igbo political leader has endorsed Obi. Most drummed support for a northern candidate. Yet Igbos think Yorubas are their problems.
By the way, I'm from Umunede, Delta State and my vote is for Tinubu.
which northern or Western political leader has supported Atiku or Tinubu openly. Politicians of all creed and tribe see Peter Obi as a threat
LegendHero: So why is the said Innoson truck configured for people to fetch water from the truck?
In Lagos alone, there are multiple truck and vehicle assembly plant like Innoson and that doesn’t stop Lagos government from getting better fire trucks
Obi is a cheap clown. I’m sure he would have told Innoson to only build a substandard truck which explained why it brought shame to Anambra when they needed it most.
Below is a Firetruck in Lagos, can you compare this to the lorry Obi the clown commissioned in that photo?
Suffer never tire Anambra people, I’m sure when it gets to the highest level, they will start asking Obi questions on why he saved that money instead of buying better trucks.
I personally know this fire truck. When this truck was bought, there was a fire incident 3 blocks away from the Marina fire service station. The driver drove to the fire scene, which then was BOI building, but he couldn't operate the truck. On enquiry, the truck driver said that only senior officials were sent abroad for training, while the truck operators were to be trained by those who were trained abroad. Unfortunately, the drivers were never trained and a single fire which the government claimed spent more than 1 million dollars, could not be put to use. A fire truck from nearby Shell building was mobilized. That day I wept for this country. We don't need to purchase the best at inflated prices. We can make due with simple but effective machines
PandoraObi: IPOB miscreants and cannibals have started attacking the south west, you will be annihilated , no place for ESN cannibals hideout in the south west, don't hide under election to wreck havoc
Beey: You taking the girl in and supporting her education is commendable. It sounds like she was a bit idle and that’s how she found time to meet with the young man. I want to believe that she’s not as naive as people may want to make it sound. At that age, she must have had some biology lessons. It was probably curiosity and the excitement of being told that she’s loved, that pushed her into that situation. Now with that said, my advise is for you to reconsider your decision. People fall down and then get back up again. Pregnancy though highly discouraged at her age, is not the cause for her to receive a lifetime of condemnation. Have her go to the village and have the baby. Let her stay till the baby is weaned. Am sure she’ll face difficulties that will force her to mature and focus. After that, she can leave the baby with her mother and go back to school. Please save her from becoming another addition to statistics of poverty and lack of education. Please continue to sponsor her studies as you had planned. Take her as if she were your own daughter who made a mistake and give her a 2nd chance. In the future, go for domestic help who are over 18 years old and can handle the consequences of their actions.
best advice so far. You can still continue supporting the young girl to lessen the burden of early pregnancy and also to further her education just like you planned
efelicity: My aunty, that is, the unmarried younger sister to my mother has been with us for over week now, at any time she chose she can just rush into my room without excuse.
I'm a matured guy and she could meet me standing naked at any given time and I'm not bold to tell her.
I've tried to talk to my mother but she was insisting I must not say anything to avoid annoying her sister.
just be locking your door and she will get used to knocking
festacman: If Major General John Enenche (rtd) is victimized for doing his professional job based on information given to him, why didn't Anambra State youths reject Peter Obi's candidature because during his tenure as Governor, multitude of bodies were found floating on a river with fingers pointing at the direction of state government.
By the way, some persons may have needlessly and sadly lost their precious lives as a result of Lekki incident on that fateful night. However, there is no clear evidence that MASSACRE took place.
If massacre happened, the world would have come after Pres. Buhari big time.
so if dead bodies are found on the streets of a town in any state, then the current state governor should be held responsible
Creamcrest: Manifesto to remove import restrictions so that his brothers can start importing all manners of rubbish to the country
there are actually no workable import restrictions. What we have is restrictions on access to Forex at official rates for importation of certain goods. Go to the markets and you will know that the import restrictions are not working. Why not collect import duty and allow , instead of banning and still not able to enforce the ban
lhordspy: Jabgaban is surely the master of all strategist. Nice move Asiwaju.
We only hear everday 'Obi is winning ' '3million march' 'massive crowd' .....
But we have never hear of any bigwig political person decamp to Labour party. Why?
These big politician have been in politics for long, we all know how smart, calculative those crooks are on political matters. If obi is winning or gaining momentum politically as we are forced to believe. Then we will have seen one or two big politician decamping to Labour party.
Or dont we have any big politician that want to be Senate president, Ministers, commissioners, SSG, and other political appointee under Labour party? Not even any one politician moved after calculating and predicting the pendulum will finally swing comes 2023.
It leaves much to wonder.
We don't really need all those crooked politicians to win. We only need votes to win

sarkinbauchi: While Peter Obi should be visiting the Northern parts of Nigeria and establishing a strong presence there with his Vice President, commissioning Labour Party offices, he is busy travelling from country to country visiting international organisations thinking all the youths in Nigeria are on lockdown for him.
I'm beginning to see he is not serious at all about his camapaign efforts. Nigerian youths should think of voting Atiku if the unseriousnesss of Peter Obi continues to persist. We cannot afford to allow APC come back.
donmelinga: In the short Video, a young boy named Chibuike from Anambra state creatively constructed this duplex with plywood for the base, cardboard papers and cartons for the structure and aluminium sheet for the overhead tank. He also introduced the wiring system and swimming pool too. This is really Amazing
Please share this picture around so that he can go viral.
How can I upload the video, someone should help. Thanks
a talented boy. What he is doing is actually nothing big. We did such in secondary school too.
Vulturereloaded: Though i am supporting Tinubu, but i feel ashamed when we are looking for lies in Peter Obi as a campaign strategy, after 8 years. It makes it seem like we have failed Nigerians.
If we have nothing else to campaign with, then i might as well be campaigning for Tinubu with Peter Obis picture, since he is our only achievement.
much of this data is crude oil and joint venture crude oil is included, which doesn't get back to Nigeria
H0711: I got married two months ago. I am 7 months pregnant my husband didn't tell me he had a child from his previous relationship and the child has a disability celebral palsy. Her mother came to dropped her off in my house saying she has done enough and she's tired it is now hubby turn to take care of her.
The child can't do anything for herself she can't sit, talk, walk and she does toilet in her clothes. I can't do it anymore I love children because I have taken care of my own nieces and nephews before I would have taken care of her if she was normal but taking care of a child in this question is hard and if her own mother has had enough she abandoned her and why would I kill myself taking care of her in my condition.
I want to divorce and go back to my village I have told him i am leaving next month. He is pleading with me not to leave him that he will take the child somewhere else but the place is not free he has to be paying like 200k monthly for them to take care of the child and he doesn't even have that amount of money because he is not financial stable.
I will stick to my decision but I want to know what will other people do in my situation.
get a live in minder or househelp to manage the sick child. This option will cost much less

igbotormentor: Clout chaser, we know what you are making my dear Igbo girl, you put your ASSet on display for randy tribesmen, when I know Peter Obi is not interested in your hairy chest, flatty slippers breasts and slacky hole but Kanu is in need of companionship, before he has penile fractures from penetrating the wall
