The Financial Times of London says President Muhammadu Buhari has been running a government that lacks a clear direction in the last four years.

The respected newspaper therefore called on the President to see his re-election as an opportunity to do the right thing.



The Financial Times said this in its editorial which has been read and shared thousands of times around the world.

It said there was no clear economic policy like that of Rwanda and Ethiopia.

It read in part, “With his renewed mandate, it is now Mr Buhari’s task to rebuild faith by running a dynamic and successful administration and by building the institutions that can lay firmer foundations than in his previous term.

“The omens from his first four years in office are not good. During that time, the former military leader ran a lacklustre administration with no obvious sense of direction. There was no coherent economic strategy of the sort being attempted by the likes of Ethiopia, Rwanda or west African neighbours Ghana and Senegal to produce the rapid growth needed to haul tens of millions of people out of poverty. It is an indictment of its leadership — both military and democratic — that the continent’s biggest oil producer should have more people living in absolute poverty than any other country in the world.”

FT advised the President to appoint more technocrats in his second term who can help turn things around.

The newspaper said the anti-corruption war must be more holistic and less selective.

FT added, “Mr Buhari’s priority this time must be to set out a coherent agenda, implemented by technocrats rather than ideologues, to turn things around. Nigeria desperately needs to create a level playing field for business in which access to foreign currency, permits, and other requirements is both predictable and rational.

“His much-vaunted crackdown on corruption must go beyond taking action against a few minor officials. Some big scalps would help. More important still is to implement systematic changes — whether by reforming institutions, using technology or by removing arbitrage opportunities — to create a more transparent environment. People should prosper in Nigeria based on what they know and how much value and employment they can create, not by their connections.”

So u mean its a matter of which tribe wins? No vision for a better Nigeris.Its a pity you see life and your country this way. sorry, the fulanis are even more selfish than you guys. Jn 2023 you would know what power means to a fulani man and regret for helping them achieve their agendas. how did we get to this point where tribalism and religion has clogged every sense of good reasoning.

The Internet never forgets - let's place a bet - that the hausa/fulani's are more sincere then southerners when it comes to agreements and they would transfer power to the south - the only challenge is that - they would either transfer power to S.S or S.W(er) because no one really trusts an ethnic group, that are silent secessionist and have a sense of self entitlement, while they say one thing and their body language says something contrary

The National Leader of Pan Yoruba group, Afenifere, Senator Ayo Fasanmi, and an elder statesman and historian, Prof. Banji Akintoye, have urged Yoruba people to brace up for the presidency in 2023.

Speaking in Ado Ekiti at a colloquium marking the 110th posthumous birthday of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Afenifere leader said Yoruba people must unite to ensure that the geopolitical zone produces the next president.

The 94-year-old Fasanmi, who made a request that Yoruba people should support a candidate who shares the visions of Awolowo, publicly endorsed Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, as a possible candidate for the 2023 presidency, citing his decision on the fact that “Fayemi embodies the visions that Awolowo strived to actualize for Nigerians”.

Delivering a paper titled: New Engagements by Progressives,” Prof. Akintoye said Ekiti people could become leaders in the African continent by “investing in the knowledge economy using our education advantage”.

Akintoye, who recalled the huge investment of Awolowo in education, stated that “the progressives idea is the only way to make the people prosper”, adding that Fayemi has the right ideas which are similar to Awo’s.

While stating that the 2023 presidency is not just about pushing for a Yoruba man, the professor of History said it was high time Ekiti people rose up and take the lead because Nigeria needs the values of hard work, excellence and integrity, which they are known for.

Akintoye equally called on Governor Fayemi to rise to the task ahead, stressing that Ekiti people must not let themselves “be intimidated by what exists” but push for “what is right”.

He said: “Decent people of Ekiti should take the lead and help reposition the nation.

“I want to say that in 2023, we Ekiti want to aspire for what we have never aspired for.

“We want to produce the next president of Nigeria.

“We know that it takes the Ekiti character to rebuild Nigeria.

“Kayode (Fayemi) has the right ideas.

“He knows what to do in the management of our affairs.

“We must have the tenacity to push for what we think is right.

“We should not let ourselves be intimidated by what exists.”

While speaking on Nigerian political leadership, Akintoye described Awolowo as a very “influential leader with constructive ideas about how to move Nigeria along the path of progress, success, prosperity and even power”.

Akintoye said Awolowo’s progressive idea focused on a Nigeria that would be orderly, stable and offer increasing economic and social opportunities for all its citizens.

He said: “The economic and social details of progressivism are also well known.

“They include programmes such as free primary and secondary education for all, high quality medical service, free medical service to weaker categories of citizens, gainful employment for all, job skills programmes to qualify every person for employment, good quality transportation, communication, water supply, and electricity supply, integrated rural development to take the benefits of modern life and modern resources to farming and to rural communities.”

In his remarks, Governor Fayemi said it was high time Nigerians raised the standard of development above that which was laid by Awolowo; adding that the former Premier had been the yardstick for measuring the political success of political leaders in decades.

The governor said it was pathetic that the nation is endowed with human and natural resources but has not been able to take the lead in the past years; adding that it was time to do away with “arrested development”.

Fayemi, who also charged Ekiti leaders to rise up for the task ahead, stated that the state should not play the second fiddle in the affairs of progressives in Nigeria.

He said: “We have competence; we have human resources and everything that can help us survive as a nation.

“That was what Chief Awolowo represents today, in Nigeria, we have not seen any statesman like Awolowo.

“That’s why any little thing we do, we make reference to him.

“He is the standard by which we judge development.

“It is time that we raised the standard now.

“We carry the burden of the successor generation and we must deliver to our people.

“This is the time to make concrete improvement in the lives of our people to banish poverty from our people.

“For long, we have not fought for what belongs to us because we are reticent, we don’t want to project ourselves, because we don’t want to be called noise makers.

“Sometimes purposeful noise is strategic communication.

“Awo was not just a politician, he was a public intellectual.

“We must not forget this if we want a developmental democracy.

“The elite should drive and support programmes that aim at lifting the masses because that’s what Awo stood for.

“He was always on the side of the people.

“That is the duty we owe our people.”

There seems to be a major shake-off in Kaduna and this has to affect the civil servants. In a memo which we obtained and circulated online, the state government has commenced the compulsory retirement of people who are 50yrs and above while others are to be converted to Casual Workers.

According to the memo dated 3rd January 2019 and signed by the Governor’s Principal Secretary, Salisu Suleiman, he directed that no Local Government should have more than 50 staff.

The memo said all categories of officers on Grade Level 01-06 are to be converted to Casual Engagement, officers on Grade Level 14 and above even if they are less than 50years old are to go on compulsory retirement while those over 50years are also to go on retirement.

That is the beauty of religion. Every mistake can be explained as long as the blame goes to God, an unseen being who can't be questioned.

Please stop O! has God's word ever gone without it being fulfilled? When God is disgracing all these liars, and we are still providing excuses for them - under the "unseen" pretext- it doesn't allow us serve them judgment here on earth- we should do what is right, and allow God do what is left - by sending them to hell

UcheSecondus:
....calls for immediate release of Atiku's two staff.



The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of not needing Nigerians because they have the military might in a democracy.



Prince Secondus said that the value of Nigerians in a democracy has been diminished because President Muhammadu Buhari and his ruling APC, have chosen to use the military to get what Nigerian voters cannot give them.



The National Chairman who spoke while declaring open the expanded caucus meeting of the party at its Wadata Plaza headquarters on Monday, said that what obtains in the country today as witnessed on February 23, Presidential and National Assembly election is a full blown dictatorship.



He said in a statement from his media office that after using the military to kill and maim citizens of the South South region, and further suppress the people from exercising their civic duties, APC in connivance with officials of the independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and security agencies went ahead to manipulate the result of the voters.



Prince Secondus who berated the administration for their various electoral criminalities, called for immediate and unconditional release from incarceration, the two personal staff of the PDP , Presidential flag bearer Barr Uyi Giwa Osagie his lawyer and Alhaji Abdullahi Babalele his son- in-law who he called political prisoners.



The National Chairman wondered why Nigerian leaders are keeping quiet in the face of blatant abuse of human rights and electoral brigandage.



He reminded the Chairman of INEC Prof Mahmood Yakubu and members of the Electoral Commission as well as operatives of the military that are making themselves willing tools for APC that history is recording their activities and at the appropriate time they will answer for their deeds.



The PDP boss admonished both operatives of INEC and security agencies to be professional and leave politics for politicians.



The National Chairman charged members of the party across the country to stay strong pointing out that the stolen mandate must be returned to the party as there is no going back on the resolve to seek justice in the court.



Prince Secondus also spoke on the situation in Lagos state where PDP supporters were stopped from voting on February 23 Presidential poll and plans are still on to repeat the same obnoxious act on Saturday during the gubernatorial elections.



The expanded caucus meeting of the party is part of the consultations the leadership of the party has been embarking carrying on to update its members through the leaders, of the steps being taken to recover the mandate Nigerian people freely gave to the PDP Presidential candidate,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.



Signed.

meccuno:
my guy. i am Igbo and i was born in lagos and schooled in the SW. common sense Tells me and facts that lagos is Yoruba land. and you and i know it to be so but i wonder why you guys feel so insecure about the whole stuff. i believe the issue of no mans land started during the military era when lagos was still federal capital territory. and i know for a fact that most igbos who say it which is obviously wrong do it to get under your skin. (funny though) since you have things you insult Igbos with. that aside. it was not called THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE IBADAN,i doubt if you actually read the link you sent to me. which was wikipedia. it was called IBADAN COLLEGE. and i repeat again in as much as the word "COLLEGE" could be used interchangeably with the word "UNIVERSITY" they are not the same. please check that up. even in the history of the university of ibadan it was stated there that it was once a college in 1948 when it started and became a FULL FLEDGED UNIVERSITY by 1962. i dont know whats so hard to comprehend in this. like i said if you say the first TERTIARY INSTITUTION then i would hold my peace. but why do you argue based on an issue that was clearly written as their history? haba

I wish your position was the true position of S.E on these issues, as you are just one person with a different leaning - the genesis of the whole debacle has been the use of the term no man's land, amongst the educated S.W class - 2ndly on a personal note, I would have loved to know your political leaning are you, progressive (a little to the right) or republican (a little to the left) or which way is it? Or liberal minded in the nigeria context? Because an average S.W is progressive AG - UPN - SDP - AD - ACN - APC - it's our way of life, we can't take any other party that brings something else to the table. 3rdly, to the issue of the military - if we should take all the terms they use to describe us hook line, and sinker - we would be calling ourselves bloody civilians and so many other names, they use to call us- so if we can't take those names the ascribe to us - I don't think it is fair to take the notion that lagos is no man's land- it should be castigated in the strobgest of terms - if we are to continue to be accommodative of one another

A Brief History of the University

The University of Ibadan started off as the University College, Ibadan (UCI) which was founded in 1948, occupying, at first, the old site at Eleyele. It later moved to the new site which covered over 2,550 acres of land. The site was generously leased by the chiefs and people of Ibadan for 999 years. The establishment of the University could be traced directly to the reports in 1945 of the Asquith and Elliot Commissions which were set up by the British Government in 1943. Equipment was transferred to the university from its sub-university status forerunners, the Yaba Higher College, (established in 1932 but formally opened in 1934), and the Yaba Medical School (established in 1930). There were 104 foundation students (including 49 students in teacher training and survey courses) who began their courses at Ibadan on 18 January 1948. The formal opening took place on 25 March, 1948.
In February 1948, London University allowed Ibadan its special relationship scheme. Arthur Creech Jones, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, and an influential member of Elliot Commission, cut the first sod at the permanent site of the University College on 17 November, 1948, which thereafter became the Foundation Day.
For the foundation medical students, the facilities provided in 1948 by the Native Administration Hospital at Adeoyo and the Government Hospital Jericho, for which the Faculty of Medicine was responsible, were inadequate. Consequently, medical students of the earlier years went to London University for clinical training. To provide more satisfactory clinical facilities at Ibadan, the Nigerian Government made available funds for the building of the 500-bed University Teaching Hospital which was completed in 1957. Thereafter, medical students were fully trained in Ibadan, the first batch graduating in 1960.
With the expansion of facilities at Ibadan, the number of students offered admission increased. In the 1958-59 sessions, UCI for the first time had a little over 1,000 students; in 1963-64, the figure exceeded 2,000; and topped the 3,000 mark in 1968-69.
The figure for 1972-73 was 4,110 and, for 1974-75 and 1975-76, 5,369 and 7,375 respectively. Some of these students included those residents at the Jos Campus, which began with an enrolment of 101 students in the 1971-72 sessions. In the 1973-74 session, the Jos Campus had 326 students most of whom were prepared for courses in the Faculty of Arts. In the 1975-76 sessions, the number of students at Jos increased to 550. On 25 September, 1975, however, the Government announced the creation of a University of Jos, and arrangements were made to transfer second year students in Jos to Ibadan and to hand over the campus at the end of the 1975-76 session to the new administration at Jos University. The Government also announced the setting up of a new University College at Ilorin, to be affiliated to the University of Ibadan. In 1976-77, the total number of students at the University of Ibadan was 8,586. In the 1984/85 session, the student population was 13,862.
Since the 1989/90 session, student population has increased to 14,000 in accordance with the directive of the National Universities Commission (NUC) of ten percent (10%) growth for the first generation universities in Nigeria. As at the end of the 1992/93 session, the student population was 14,632. In addition, there were over three thousand five hundred (3, 500) external degree students who receive lectures, tutorials on a part-time basis. Moreover, the University’s Institute of Education runs an Associate Certificate of Education programme for Grade Two Teachers at different centres in Nigeria.
The University of Ibadan, then University College, awarded its first postgraduate degree in 1952, when the University was under a “scheme of special relation” with the University of London. By 1962, when University College transformed into an independent University of Ibadan, 64 students were registered for graduate degrees. Since becoming an independent academic institution in 1962, the University of Ibadan has enrolled 81,768 postgraduate students and awarded 45,709 higher degrees, including 2 DSc. 4,366 PhDs, 36 MD/MS, 4,700 Mphil/Professional Master’s Degrees, 32,3254 Academic Master’s Degree, and 4,281 Postgraduate Diplomas. During the last academic year alone, 5,789 students were enrolled into a postgraduate programme. Over the years, University of Ibadan graduates have meaningfully contributed to society in many ways from establishing other institutions of higher learning in Nigeria to impacting various sectors of the global economy. Several alumni have also returned to the University of Ibadan as professors and staff.
Larger admissions over the years and limited funds for providing accommodation facilities gradually threatened the concept of a residential University at Ibadan. The Jos campus, when established, experimented with off-campus accommodation. From the 1972-73 sessions, students, at the Ibadan campus have also been allowed to live off-campus in large numbers. Married students are encouraged to live off-campus.
There are ten undergraduate Halls of Residence (Mellanby, Tedder, Kuti, Sultan Bello, Queen Elizabeth II, Alexander Brown (situated at UCH), Independence, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Idia, Obafemi Awolowo) and two postgraduate Halls of Residence, namely, Tafawa Balewa and the New Postgraduate Hall. It should be noted that Obafemi Awolowo Hall that, hitherto, provided accommodation for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of both sexes became an exclusively undergraduate Hall of Residence (for both sexes) from the 2001/2002 session.
Catering Facilities
Until 1972, each Hall of Residence had its own catering facilities, but steps were taken during that year towards providing a more centralized catering service. The Central Cafeteria, with a capacity for 1,600 students, was completed on 4 January, 1976 and catered for the majority of students. Because of the larger number of students, however, catering services continued to be provided by selected caterers in Independence, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Queen Elizabeth, Tafawa Balewa and Alexander
Brown Halls. Official catering for students ceased in 1984, in consonance with the Federal Government directive to Federal Universities to disengage from Hall catering services for students. However, in the 2001/2002 session, the University Administration decided to appoint two Catering Contractors for each Hall of Residence. Food is sold to students on the pay-as-you-eat system.
Student Unionism
From its inception, the University has encouraged Student Unionism and the Student Union has thus been an important feature of the University existence. Housed in a magnificent complex known as Student Union Building, which now includes the modified Central Cafeteria as well as an Olympic-sized swimming pool, the Union has as its aims:
(a) To promote the social, cultural, intellectual and sporting activities of its members;
(b) To foster the general interests of its members;
(c) To contact, co-operate and exchange ideas with other external organizations whose aims are acceptable to the Union.

The Student Union has been an advocate of student participation in University administration, and since 1973, students have served on various University Committees, including the Consultative Committee on Community Development, Student Welfare Board, Careers Board, Library Committee, Catering Board, Sports Council, Lodgings Bureau, Intra-campus Transportation Committee (ICTC), and the Student Disciplinary Committee. In addition, all academic departments have staff/student liaison committees.
On-Campus Accommodation
The University provides accommodation for its senior, intermediate and junior staff. The Abadina complex caters for the residential needs of Junior Staff. As at May 1977, there were 516 housing units on campus. There are also the University Hotels Ltd, the Pro-Chancellor’s Lodge and other buildings. The University no longer provides off-campus accommodation for Senior Staff because the accommodation and maintenance problems of the University increased as the number of junior and senior staff rose.
Staff Population
In 1959, there were about 530 junior staff. In February 1973, the number had risen to 4,197. In 1958, there were only 44 Nigerian Senior Staff (Academic, Library, Administrative and Technical) officers, as against
136 expatriates. But by 1 February 1973, the University had 117 Senior Administrative and Technical Officers, Technicians/Technologists as well as school teachers in the International School (Secondary) and Staff School (Kindergarten and Primary). These did not include a total of 566 academic staff of which 416 were Nigerians and 150 expatriates.
By March 1, 1997, the University had a total of 793 academic staff (including the Library and the Ibadan University Press) as against an establishment of 1,066 for the 1976/77 session. At the same time, the University had a total of 819 administrative professional and technical staff although the established figure for the 1976-77 session was 1,079. In the 1984/85 session, the total number of Junior staff on the pay roll of the University was 4,006, while that of Senior Staff was 2,348. Of these, 95 percent were Nigerians. At present staff population is 2,604 academic staff, 953 Senior staff 1651and Junior Staff 1080. The University of Ibadan Women Society runs the Crèche Nursery School while the Baptist Service Centre operates a primary school.
Funds, Funding and Sources
The University is a cosmopolitan tertiary institution with most of the staff being Nigerians. Staff salaries and other recurrent expenditure, besides capital works, made the University College (later University of Ibadan) an expensive establishment to run. While the British Government, the Cocoa Marketing Board, the Nuffield Foundation, the United African Company, and other interested bodies inside and outside Nigeria made generous contributions towards the funding of capital projects, the brunt of the recurrent expenditure fell on the Nigerian government whose subvention rose from N200, 000 British pounds in 1949-1950 to N7, 464,000 in 1971/72. The Federal Government’s recurrent grant for 1972/73 was N=10, 226.00 and for 1973/74, N11, 036,000. The figure for the 1975/76 session (Ibadan and Jos Campuses) was N=23, 171,000, and for the 1976/77 session, N=29, 826.000; for 1983/84 N=41, 221,000. See the table at the next page for subsequent funding:

That was why i made reference to yaba even being the first TERTIARY institution. emphasis on TERTIARY. and i repeat what i wrote. the first UNIVERSITY in Nigeria is UNN. UI would have 1948 because that was when it came into existence as a college and a TERTIARY INSTITUTION. but became a University in 1962. i hope you know what a University is? and what a college is?

Ur opinion- since youu know more then those that founded it- except you can show me the act establishing it that is contrary to my position I take your position as an assumption- you are trying to justify your position - well, so be it, but for we that read it and we can still see evidence to prove it - I personally don't accept your assumption - university college ibadan and not ibadan college university should mean something - other then this we know nnamdi azikwe tried to be premier of the west - and it still continues today - people leave their own place of origin and want to be king on another man's land- and in a bid to further their ambition - they tag the man's land, no man's land

meccuno:
dude. i have read all that. the fact still remains is that if you had used TERTIARY INSTITUTION i would have not even argued the whole matter. moreover yaba was the fist college. 1932.

No debate about yaba college - the bone of contention now is U.I as against UNN - (or u wan turn am to 16 is greater then 19?) even in the epithet scribed on the gate into U.I it is there - I haven't been to UNN - but I know it is also inscribed on the university logo - or maybe you are mixing OAU for UI- OAU was in 1961 - but UI was 1948 - that's all

The first UNIVERSITY is UNN . The college Ibadan was not a University until 1962. what else you write either insult or other wise, i dont care.Thank You.

UNN-
The University of Nigeria, commonly referred to as UNN, is a federal university located in Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria. Founded by Nnamdi Azikiwe in 1955 and formally opened on 7 October 1960, the University of Nigeria has three campuses – Nsukka, Enugu, and Ituku-Ozalla – all located in Enugu State.

I didn't insult you - I just gave you my own opinion- come to the table with a superior position on this issue - and at least make una try give us small respect, though we know it's not in una make up- thank you

meccuno:
The first UNIVERSITY in Nigeria was UNN. I wonder why you think you guys are detribalized and the rest are ethnic jingoist. i dont just get.

"University" college ibadan - should be a primary school then

Get off your high horse - if we are tribalistic, we wouldn't be as accommodative as to the point where, people would wake up and tell us - Lagos is no man's land - you live you work you trade and then tell us- the place where you do all these things is no man's land? Or that you would determine who becomes governor of the state where you are visitors, we are monarchial we are progressive with a tint of socialism/capitalism *the "we" factor* - and you expect us to relinquish our orientation and accept capitalism/republicanism wholeheartedly? *the "I" factor* Because that's how you peeps coin it- especially in a society where nothing is fair Haba!!! is that possible? This is the crux of the matter- the S.E is not developing because of this basic fact- billionaires everywhere but no one is actually changing the society at large - do your own road, the one leading to your house, have your own water system build a mansion but what of the immediate society

enemybulldozer:
The point is that Herbert a Yoruba man started propaganda first in the Nigerian soil. And he used it both on the British and other Nigerians.

When one uses it to fight for freedom - and the other uses it to seize power- by dividing the people, imagine, you then say, they are the same, haba!!!! orange and banana are both fruits, but are they the same?

enemybulldozer:
And Herbert Macualay is from where??

He didn't use his propaganda against nigerians- he used it to fight the british - that's where the difference was - one used it to fight the colonialist - the other directed his propaganda against nigerian's of a different ethnic region- I would advice you to research therein lies the truth

Point of correction, the Yorubas are known propagandists and they're successful in that because they own the Nigeria media there's no doubt about it.

You don't expect my people to preach love and unity to the Yorubas, when Yorubas have long ago denied my people love and unity and you know that hate can only beget hate.

Because you accused us- I would tell you where propaganda started herbert macualay - the wizard of krixtoston (can't remember the proper spelling) hall started it- but nnamdi azikwe was the one that took it to un-enviable heights with his telegraph newspapers in 1938- he so spread the propaganda that even our kings college students from enugu that came for a football match against cms or is it st gregory's college were also part of his scheme - he also lead to the dissolution of NYM (national youth movement) - which also lead to pitting yoruba's against each other, the ijebu's against the lagosians, and south west against north and this is the reason the yoruba's were and have always been in opposition politics, till tinubu made an alliance and moved the yoruba political structure into main stream politics with Buhari

Guy take your fight to oba akiolu and leave my people the Igbo alone.

Your people left themselves alone a long time ago- the day they started preaching propaganda, and superiority instead of love and unity- we are just encouraging them to continue along the same line of perdition

There is no smoke with out fire. Yorubas started the hate, tribal bashing and evading every Biafra threads just to spew trash.

Secondly, oba akiolu said Yorubas are not the original owners of Lagos meaning that Lagos is a no man's land.

Do you want to know the history of oba akiolu? Well it's not meant for none yoruba's - but this is certain olofin's aworis are the aborigines - the iga was an island were crazy fish was plenty and it served as a point that was secure for military planning during the dahomey wars -

Come to think of it- the bini's have told their history - yoruba's have said theirs - hausa/fulani have also narrated theirs- we all have history- if your tribe doesn't have verifiable history you are supposed to know you are not nigerians

Do the Yorubas know the true meaning of truth??

This common 2019 campaign - who has lied the most? Even while we are debating here, knowing fully well the truth, who has said lagos is no man's land the most laying claim to what is not theirs and shouting they developed the state? Who have been the ones drumming war beats, we would face the 200 tribes in nigeria and also the shout of marginalisation? They forgot so quickly, that under the previous administration the S.W didn't occupy any position - apart minister of agriculture and chief of air staff, (in which he was a thief - stealing all the monies meant to buy equipment to fight boko haram)- yes he hasn't been convicted yet, but he is not an omoluabi - moreso, we view issues from our point of understanding

Good they haven't paid national assembly staff their salaries or is it allowances for months

What do you mean by education?? Your post is a piece of junk that is filled with lies and propaganda.

Talking about insults, Yorubas are the ones opening countless of useless threads everwhere on social media since after the election just to insult and bully the great Igbos. But I thank God for who we are, we never relent in giving back the fire in a million folds.

There are 3 sides to a story 1 our side 2 una side 3 the truth -

enemybulldozer:
Oya olajide8 come and explain to us why oba akiolu of Lagos state threatened the Igbos with lagoon in 2015 just because Igbos living in Lagos refused to vote APC and now in this 2019 tinubu thugs stopped Igbos from voting for the candidates of their choice.

Do you expect the Igbos to love and respect you people after all this??

Mr olajide8, I want you to know that Igbos are republicans in nature and they hate it when someone or group of people is trying so hard to control them.
And if you Yorubas don't stop the nonsense you people are exhibiting in Lagos the Igbos will have no other option than to fight you in that your land just like the Hausas did to you in mile 12

Nobody is contesting the republican nature of any other tribe with them, it's the reason they have multiplicity of eze's on the same street, an Eze in diaspora would be claiming the same rights a dynastic Eze's in the S.E, that is not an insult NO! its the obvious which a lot of people are oblivious too, it is also the genesis of *I*, *me*, *you* benefit system- far from it, it's the tribes choice - but we yoruba's are monarchial, just like the brotish *we* that's our own nature- it breeds order - (even the Nigerian army or defence doesn't have 2 chief of army staff or chief of defense staff) if we don't like orders, we challenge it through other means -

Now to the other matter:
It's Simply because, jimi agbaje on his campaign tour in 2015, went to the palace of the oba of lagos, and told the oba to his face, after the oba had told him, he was the one that selected fashola, ambode, when the nominees were forwarded to him by tinubu as the next governors of lagos state- jimi told him that he didn't need his endorsement, or how did he say it then self? He then said something about igbo votes in lagos for him (that is the genesis of all the tribal bashing and hates- a politician for his selfish end, decided to pit 2 ethnic regions against each other just because he wanted political power, he had forgotten that he was first a yoruba man- igbo's in their myopicness allowed him to use them as a tool) and he would mobilize them to make him, and that what caused the oba to bar him from coming to the idu-garan palace- and the curse the oba issued out then -

Errmm.. Oga poster what's the essence of this your post??

Education - since most people refused to educate themselves - but they can go on social media and be insulting and crying wolf

SouthEastFacts:
We don hear that one tire am.

Few years ago, Yorubas stopped renting out one room to Ndi Igbo thinking that it will send them parking.

But today, most of the self-con and 1 bedroom flats are occupied by Ndi Igbo while the so-called hosts continue leaving in face-me-i-face-you.

Today many Yoruba landlords prefer to rent out their 1 bedroom flats to Igbos and when I inquired why, they said Igbos don't owe rent.

Apart from those staying in 1 bedroom in Lagos, many Igbo families have their own building.

An average Igbo family stays in a better house than an average yoruba in Lagos.

Your opinion - but that doesn't mean lagos is no man's land
