1 decade later, Nigerians are still looking for the 3 million jobs a year.

See what they did ahead of the 2015 elections.

Now they can’t take the pills they dished out.

Amazingly amazing.

The whole tribal war amongst the Igbos and Yoruba especially online is all about Lagos politics.
I hardly hear of any other south western states having problem with Igbos.
It's same bad blood kind of politics that made those who sees Igbos as enemy to deny them opportunity for the presidential ticket to be zoned to south east.

Lol…Oyo governorship election.

They’re attacking one candidate because he married from the east.

The funny thing is Ifa oracle selects traditional rulers married to non Yorubas.

Ifa seems to be more detribalised compared to some tribal bigots.

FBI and Chicago files incoming…

Well, I won’t be surprised if that “lobbying fee” is already flushed down the toilet.

When kassala burst, story will change to “ehn, is he first to do it?” “He without sin should cast the first stone”

Make I dey observe

Thanks Trump!

Rising energy prices is one of the critical lightening rod for global inflation.

Obaaderemi2:
It seemed it was all planned for Ironsi to take over

Ironsi who was on the hit list too?
He wasn’t part of the coup plotters.
He also tipped off the politicians on the impending coup. His intelligence report was disregarded.

Brenbentondiaz:
How convenient that only Okpara (the Igbo premier) escaped out of the premiers. How convenient that only Balewa (the only non Igbo among the top 4 most important federal office holders) was killed, while the remaining 3 (all igbos) "escaped". You clowns live fooling yourselves.

The politicians were warned of an impending coup. They should be blamed for not acting on that intelligence report as well.

raumdeuter:
Did Okpara or Osadebey escape? Why were they not killed

Of all politicians why was it that it was all the ibo politicians that escaped

Aguiyi Ironsi tipped off the politicians of an impending coup.

Tafawa Balewa, Ladoke Akintola etc didn’t act on the intelligence report.

Don’t take my word for it, research and prove me otherwise. Were they tipped off or not?

Read the first two paragraphs

As seen on twitter. Just know we are lagging far behind our mates in Botswana.

Yes, we can milk entertainment and riches from tribal beef. Tribal competitions without the toxicity and hatred.

Think of bragging rights and rivalries in our local football league.

Imagine Remo Stars beating Eyinmba in Aba and vice versa.

Or Enugu Rangers beating Sunshine FC in Osun.

Yes, we can grow these rivalries to the level of Liverpool v Manchester or Celtic v Rangers

Or Rappers from the major tribes issuing diss tracks to another whilst their tribal fans jump on the cruise. No hating.

Yes, we can grow this rivalry to the east coast versus west coast rappers in the United States of the 1990s e.g. Tupac v Biggie.


Or is it cooking competition. Major tribes with their best soups and dishes while the other tribes decides whose dish is best for that year.

If you can at least use the tribalism to stimulate economic activities like these ehen…

Not all these sufferhead tribalism wey no dey add any iota of quality to your life.

That being said, always remember ”you never chose the tribe you were born into”

There are better things to direct your energy and hate towards. For example, the oppressive elites making your life a living hell.

Dem warn the guy make e escape. Dude dey form Incredible Hulk till the very end.

Aguiyi Ironsi warned these complacent politicians of an impending coup. His intelligence report was discarded.

Those politicians, the coupists, Nwafor Orizu and Ironsi, ubanka to all of them.

Zanna Bukar Dipcharima would have succeeded the slain Tafawa Balewa as Prime Minister, but that sell out called Nwafor Orizu clearly had other plans.

A successful coup where the coup plotters ended up prison.

Using this logic, Buka Suka Dimka’s coup against Murtala Muhammad in February 1976 was a successful coup too.

danvon:
Well, Tafawa Balewa took coup seriously as the arrest of Awolowo proved. If Aguiyi Ironsi brought a serious claim I'm sure they would have taken him seriously.

Again, Aguiyi Ironsi not being aware of a coup doesn't mean those around him were not.

What is your definition of “serious claim”?

A CCTV footage of the coup plotters?

Please humour me, Awolowo was plotting coup too?😂

danvon:
In preparation for the 1975 coup against Gowon, the coup plotters began spreading false information about an impending coup in an act to confuse the government. When Gowon was allegedly told that Joseph Garba was plotting a coup against him, by then so much misinformation about a coup had been spread that Gowon refused to believe it, Joseph Garba was the one who later announced the coup.

The main reason why Awolowo was sent to prison was because he was accused of plotting a coup with Nkrumah of Ghana.

We do know that Nkrumah granted sanctuary to Ifeajuna after Ifeajuna failed coup attempt, so how much of that story was true, lies and misinformation? My point is that Tafawa Balewa government didn't just ignore coup attempts they took it seriously, Aguiyi Ironsi would have been of better help if he had given them names. If he just told them there's a coup but didn't provide any useful information can you blame Tafawa Balewa for not taking him seriously?

Even if Aguiyi Ironsi wasn't aware of the coup, there are lots of evidence that Ojukwu was definitely aware, Aguiyi Ironsi should have at least not rewarded Ojukwu for hiding treasonable information.

There was no instance of coup plotters spreading false information of a pending coup in January 1966.

Less than a week to the coup, Nigeria hosted world leaders for an event. I can’t recall the details of the event, but world leaders were in Nigeria.

Do you think the intelligence agencies of leading countries would give their leaders clearance to travel to Nigeria if indeed there were strong rumours of coup? Nah… their high commissioners can be pawned off to attend that event on their behalf.

Deadlytruth:
The faults you listed for Ironsi above actually logically suggest that he was sympathetic to the coup plotters assuming that he wasn't actually part of it. Here is the logo:
For item 1. If he wasn't sympathetic to the coupists, he would have arraigned them before a military tribunal and executed them.
2. His constituting an SMC without Northerners and Westerners mirrored the casually pattern of the coup in the sense that the membership of that SMC was Igbocentric just as the casualty pattern of the coup was Igbocentric.

3. The Unification Decree mirrored the intention of the coupists which, according to Nzeogwu in his interview with Ejindu few months later, was to create a stronger center.


For Ironsi to have warned people in power about the coup, it means he had intelligence information from a reliable source about the impending coup long enough before the D-Day, so what held him from being proactive about launching investigation into the brewing plot in order to preempt it? Why did he chose to be reactive after the damage had been done when he had all the foreknowledge of the coup?

Item 1: Simply tribalism. That’s the only way I can rationalise it.

He wasn’t part of the coup plotters. He warned Inua Wada, Tafawa Balewa and other top politicians of an impending coup, yet those in power did not act on the intelligence report.

Everyone has their share of the January 1966 mess.

Look at the current geopolitical dynamics. Nigeria is an import driven economy. Think of the ripple effects of Trump’s trade tariffs on an import dependent country like Nigeria.

Won’t really be bothered if we have sufficient local production capacity.

Rupert Murdoch owned media.

Traditional media gradually becoming obsolete in shaping public opinion.

Hmmm.

Imagine what he has in mind for Naija for joining BRICS.

Not looking good for an economy battling inflationary pressures.

Since 1960 ooo

Nigeria has potential.

Potential! Potential!! Potential!!!

When will potential turn into reality?! Awon exploitative elites!

1. Puppet leaders and colonial clerks.
2. Low to nil local capacity in manufacturing weapons (ICBMs, nuclear weapons).

If Nigeria were a nuclear power with a popular leader, do you think USA or Russia can intimidate us? Just think about it.

Unfortunately, for so long we’ve been ruled by selfish idiots without any foresight. Only further enriching the superpowers by buying weapons from them. Smh 🤦‍♂️

They can’t see how a weak Africa will bite them in their corrupt bum later on.

Will update later.

The master strategist is at work 😎

Keep calm as he fails woefully.

We are still awaiting progress updates on Tinubu’s eight point agenda for the Nigerian economy from 2023 to 2027.

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

Hi sexy 🤣

Hmmm… a female bishop

The epidemic of penterascalism.

This no longer about God or religion.

Na pure hustle be this.

Not even your secondary school classmates

Keep calm, Tinubu is in control of the situation.

He will confront Donald Trump very soon.

Don’t worry.

Clears throat

Imagine the resources wasted on election cycles at all levels of government avoided by divination.

The major thing is ensuring the custodians of divination are incorruptible.

Amongst other checks and balances, an oath of instant affliction or death should any one of them consider (not even receive it o) taking a bribe!

Unpopular opinion:

It’s high time we relied on our divination systems to:

1) Select the best fit leaders (intellectually, morally, physically etc)

2) Take critical decisions that will impact the destiny of our nation.

After all, even ancient Israel relied on divination tools like the Urim and Thummin to inquire of the Lord in making key decisions.

Why not rely on IFÁ, Ofo etc?

Democracy is a time wasting scam which only sees the wicked greedy elites divide and exploit the masses.

Yes, the same wicked elites asslicking the neo-colonialists to keep the average Nigerian perpetually poor. Devaluing our currency to enable these nations cream off our resources for peanuts 😡

Even animals allow the best of their kind to lead themselves, yet humans who are supposedly the most intelligent specie allows the dumbest of the lot to lead them!

Enough of this nonsense! Nigeria and Africa must be free!
