Parents need to support the NDLEA

drug-abuse and illicit drug use is gradually becoming a pandemic.

I am just praying Xylazine and Fentanyl doesn't break into the society. Its going to be disastrous.

SOSinNigeria:
Did you see NC or NW trying to add Abuja to their own figures? Why are you guys not contented with the 5 SW states?

Must you add Lagos to SW so it can become meaningful?

Na wa for this people o.

Salewa97:
So which region is Lagos located?

This is IPOB terrorists fault. After flogging you badly during sit at home, they’ve destroyed your brain.

MelesZanawi:
This girls matter has shown that not all Igbos are stupid.





But majority of Igbos are.

FreeStuffsNG:
Pay attention to how the Governor, HE Babajide Sanwo-Olu, welcomed her with a familiar warmth in fluent Yoruba Language and culture. Amina Yusuf is truly made in Yorubaland.

She is one of our products. She's made in Lagos and Yorubaland.

It's really so refreshing seeing such a young Lady do us proud and not caught in the web of fake result.
God bless Lagos state and may God bless Nigeria for ever!

Igbos don't throw criminals under the bus, they celebrate criminals.

Osisikanwu was an armed robber and kidnapper, he was given a chieftaincy title in Abia State.
TA Orji turned Abia into Syria and after 8 desolate years, he came to Anambra and was given the chieftaincy title of Ochendo Ndigbo.
Bishop the drug dealer who got his people killed in Ozubulu is an Igbo chieftaincy title holder.
Have you also forgotten how Igbos here on Nairaland defended Evans the armed robber and kidnapper, saying he was being victimized because he's igbo. In fact, Evans was arrested in Owerri and released because he's "our bloda".

I'm sure if Judas Iscariot were alive today, he would be given a chieftaincy title in Igboland.

tnerro1:
What u said is not true, nobody would have raised an eyebrow if not some people took it as an unjustified attack on their tribe, but the truth is out now.

ppogba:
You can only have that boldness the moment you know your kith and kin in addition to your entire tribe will support you the moment you shout to the roof top claiming victimization.

accordadoga26:
Victimization mentality as usual

duro4chang:
You are going down gradually. Nobody cares about your crocodile tears. You had better change.

Raskimonojendor:
Waiting for some people to claim victim as usual.

Iamgrey5:
Exactly, I don't even have the time to cross-check my grammar before posting my comments.

KwuoteYourFada:
It's "have" not "has"

Maybe you should use that your time to improve your grammar

You're welcome

presido11:
Maybe at the point of mak8ng that statement, that was the only watch he has.

Adeshi:
At first i thought it was stress, but yesterday, i was home throughout and it happened again. This is like the 4th time this year. I'm really concerned and i do not mind any advice as to what could cure the problem. I called a friend of mine this morning to request to see a urologist, he said i might have to wait 2-3 months to see one.

I do not want to wait another 2 months, my marriage is just 2years and my wife is starting to worry too.

A 34 years old married man still betwets. I need help please.

TooNoisy:
I have seen a lot of funny comments o social media lately, especially with the millennials claiming that Dayo Israel invented Yoruba Ronu as a slang coined to incite hate against Igbos. I read the arguments by both sides and I could only imagine most these guys were born in the 90s and early 2000s. So where did Yoruba ronu originate from.

Please see link above and listen to the song. The song was originally performed at the height of the shenanigans' of the first republic. The Yoruba had an internal war between Awolowo and Akintola; and Awolowo was eventually jailed when Akintola aligned with Ahmadu Bello's group. Some of the lyrics paraphrased mean

What has happened to the Yoruba
A wise people who have seen wealth and civilization
The same wisdom is not working against them to take them backwards
Think Yoruba think
Yoruba undermine each other because of money and political positions
They subvert justice and declare the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent
The Yoruba have become a soccer ball that people kick however they like
Think Yoruba think

This song was produced in 1964 and has since been a rallying cry for the Yoruba especially when confronted with very tricky situations, such as the one between Awolowo and Akintola or when folks like MKO were undermining Awolowo in 1979. It even came up during the June 12 struggle and some Yoruba impostors were supporting Abacha.

So when I see people claim Dayo Israel started Yoruba Ronu as a rallying point against Igbo; I just laugh. Dayo Israel was born in 1987, 23 years after the song was originally performed. The song has nothing to do with Igbos; it is just a phrase that means - think, Yoruba think.

I would really love this to be on frontpage so that we can clear the air on that. This is what Nairaland should be about.

Eriokanmi:
Yea. Pa Awo was not a selfish man, neither was any of his followers . I was opportune to see him on 2 occasions, growing uo. No wonder nobody has been able to break pa jakande's record in Africa today on housing. He was one of his followers. He built the largest housing estate in Africa in the 80s without borrowing kobo as governor of lagos state. All these happened in less than 4 years.

As if that wasn't enough, he replicated same as minister of works under the military. Have you heard of gwarinpa housing estate in Abuja before? It was him who did it. Till today, no country in Africa has achieved this. It remains the largest in Africa. Go to msryland in lagos and see pa jakande's house. You'd be shocked.

All the leaders we have today are only looking for means of stealing and taking our money overseas and enriching their corrupt friends. I think they're cursed. Our generation really needs to have a rethink, bring ourselves together and not allow them deceive us again, in order to have their way.
