Some Northerners seem to have an ulterior motives for the protest.

They are tagging Mr President with

OTP- One Time President.

Let it be known that the proposed protest must be restricted to reversing policies that brought hardship which I believe this government is listening to Nigerians

Anyone Northerner or otherwise who have other ideas should perish it, because if TINUBU stabilize this wicked inflation and bring down price of PMS, he has his 8years straight up.

Those losers amongst Northerners did more than this before the elections.
They still grudgingly collected their wotowoto

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
They should go to Zamfara state and do show of force against Bandits and Boko Haram...

Allow peaceful protesters to breathe

Like they breathed in Kenya,Uganda,Bangladesh etc.
It is better to jaw jaw than to war war.

Peterlandil:
I do have wied dreams at times of me being naked I do forget alot of them, but I remember a few please what could this mean?

Means you are going to marry a would later be very fat girl that will not like to wear underwears because of her fatness.

Statisense (Ipob bureau of Statistics)

They are always posting fake Statisense AI generated stats but reality shows otherwise.

I heard that SW has 3 times more professors than SE nah.

lol
You are confused,sir.

Plans by the Federal Government to purchase a foreclosed A330 from a German bank has reached an advance stage as the aircraft may have been assigned a tail registration that also bears the seal of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Empowered Newswire reports.

Informed sources from international aviation firms and news sites also indicate that as at early afternoon Nigerian time today July 15, 2024, the plane has been flown from Germany to an airport in Saint Louis, France.

An operator history dashboard on planespotters.net also shows that the Airbus 330 is now wearing the tail registration of the Nigerian presidential jet 5N-FGA and also adorned with the Nigerian Presidential Seal.

It could be a photoshot.

Reno did not deny the known fact. He only conflagerated around the fact. The Igbo claim regarding Lagos and Abuja are both true and factual.

Are these wise investment?, in my opinion, no. If anything, it goes to show who actually has capacity in Nigeria, and who truly belives Nigeria project.

lol
How is it factual?
Even on a street of 100 houses,how do you get to know the owners without going to land registry to know who actually owns what.

When some poverty stricken Igbos were boasting that they have 65% or so of the companies in Lagos,a thread was created on nairaland here and everybody saw that they didnt even own up to 9% of the firms in Lagos,Yoruba people own most of the firms followed by foreigners.

This is the thread....

If just saying that you buy up a place with grave delusion make you sleep and forget the increased hunger and poverty in the SE,you are welcome to dreamland.

Even for the few lands that were leased or sold to some Igbos,they are not theirs because Yorubas can revoke them anytime.
You can only own land in Igboland and nurture the one in Yorubaland until the Yorubas deem it fit to take the land back.

lol
Poverty stricken Igbos always claiming wealth that they and their ancestors were lazy to acquire.
They have bought up everywhere with their stinking mouths yet there is increased hunger in Igboland.

Bitter Grieving Obi

mrvitalis:
Appointments is looked at per zone not Yoruba vs Hausa

You are the one ranting nah.
He is still trying but just a sprinkle of more Igbos whom he fears might sabotage his govt.
They are even trying to do that verbally (nobody knows what they are doing underneath) only that God is grester than them

Enyimbafc:
Mention the major markets controlled by yorubas in south west.

In SW or Lagos?
Even in Ibadan,we have more Hausa in the markets than Igbos.
Yorubas control all SW states while Lagos is shared because of the millions of Igbos in Lagos.
They are majorly petty traders clustered together.

Yorubas dominate Lagos Island markets,Pelewura,Owode onirin,Epe,Orile etc.
In Nigeria,Yorubas dominate building materials' markets,Jewelleries,Baby care,New expensive wears/clothes,New and tokunbo rides,plastic market,petroleum markets especially petrol stations etc.

mrvitalis:
Oga nigeria has 6 zones
Stop trying to be clever by half

What is your point.
Everybody is represented.

mrvitalis:
Oga nigeria has 6 zones
Stop trying to be clever by half

I still want you to do that, please do and you will see that we have more Hausa fulani than Yoruba.
As much as I want him to appoint more and more Igbos,Yorubas should be more than any tribe because if he succeeds or otherwise (God forbid),you will call out Yoruba people.
The truth is he is going to succeed.
He will be the best President of Nigeria ever.

mrvitalis:
Can we do the same for tinubu administration and see who still has most appointments?

Hypocrisy of you Yorubas stinks sha

Everything u accuse people of you do the most

Please do that and you will see that we have more Hausa fulani than Yoruba.

Like you I have been hearing the wicked justification for Tinubu yorubanized federal government "Tinubu only continued where Buhari stopped with nepotism"

But a little research by any sensible persons would see... It was actually SW that got most appointments under Buhari

In fact under Buhari positions where mostly shared equally between north n South... But just like we are experiencing now APC South West took majority of southern appointments while using media propaganda to claim Buhari ignored South

But as they say numbers don't lie.. Data don't lie... See the data below

South West APC has always been greedy nd nepotism run through them and yet are the first to accuse others if same

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/396186-ogun-tops-buharis-190-political-appointees-south-east-least-represented-full-details.html

What I dont understand is this...
would you rather see Tinubu leave the people that were there before he became president there or pick people from their zones to replace them or even put SE people whom everybody knows didnt vote for him?
If I were Igbo or Hausa,I will still put Yorubas in strategic posts.They are the best administrators.

Premium times are a little dull if they are counting assistants,special assistants and the likes as real appointments.
Let them post the numerous DGs,NNPC appointees,the MDAs etc not foolish assidtants.

Bananapill:
I wasn't a literature man but I read Achebe's books. I can't remember any of Soyinka's own I read.
If his were very good, my dad would have bought a couple. I read Chinua's own taking delight. His books were the most talked about while a lot of us were growing up.
As for the awards, Chinua, rejected them.

Nobel laureate is all about class not only story telling.
One of the things that killed Achebe was not winning the Nobel.
It is the dream of all writers but unfortunately,only the best wins it while the rest rant.

lol
I remember when our Igbo brohers were fighting for Achebe to be given the Nobel laurel post humously
It is never done,they dont give after death and it is not given for being a best seller either.
James Hadley Chase had 90 titles and 50 were best sellers but he never won the Nobel prize,so also were others.
It is for classical writers not everyday story teller.

Truthfully,Chinua Achebe must be honoured by Tinubu.
He deserves being honoured.He was a great writer.

You just sha like to rant.
Wetini

The largest market in Africa is Lagos island market which comprise of Balogun,Idumota,Isalegangan etc.
The population and the amount of goods and .services there triple that of Onitsha main market.

Gajagojo:
Again what you want to believe
You go explain tire. No evidence

This is the evidence.
Stop the lies.

Gajagojo:
That is a belief that helps to make your life meaningful but alas it is a fantasy and delusion

lol
Everybody knows that it is the.other way round.
No Lagos,No SE.

According to statisrics of importation,what goes to SE is not up to 20%.
I dont know where that guy saw 70%.
Maybe from a clown.

OfoIgbo:
When 70% of all the shipped cargoes that come into Nigeria, head to Onitsha, tell me what it is that Balogun sells, because I am pretty certain that the remaining 30% are not sent to Balogun market. In fact I can even make an intelligent guess that Balogun does not even consume up to 10% of the remainder cargoes.

I am sorry but this is a big lie.
No statistics support this.
All this Onitsha is the biggest market is written by Igbo blogs and taken to some other sites for popularity.
No authentic proof that supports this.
These are the most imported goods into Nigeria down below...
Tell me how SE will take these to the SE when SW especially Lagos has the biggest markets for them.
According to stats every year,all cargoes going to the SE cannot even be up to 30%.
The stats below supports this.
SW has the most imports and they have the purchasing power due to their population.

obonujoker:
Moyo had a meeting with all Ojota heads and leaders before they embarked on this Roju project

What I mean is that it is been done by Ogbara not Moyo.
I maybe wrong sha but that is what I heard.

Lanrelagboi:
35 Roads in 3yrs which includes Drainages.

I am around Ogudu and the pics you are posting are ongoing road projects at Roju street,Ojota.Most streets connect to this Roju road.
You are posting these as projects being handled by Moyo,but some people are saying that these projects are facilitated by Ogbara.
Which one is true?

Apt and merited.
Yorubas got the steeze even abroad.

001Lagos:
Did you read the news upside down?

They've caged Tinubu like the dullard he's always been inside aso rock

I hope all is well with him

And you believe the dullard making that statement?
Then you must be a dullard too.

Goodday90:
while one Yoruba man is wrecking his own country Nigeria with cluelessness
Yoruba sophistication is a lie,they destroy whatever they touch

I dont believe this because Yorubas have the longest existing businesses in Nigeria and abroad.
