The stolen items must had been forgotten before their returns. It pose no significant value other than the pre colonial era value it must had have.

In Today's market price it worth no penny except the cultural prestige known only by the indigenous holder.

Are you joking? The benin bronzes are worth a fortune on the art market. Some even sell for millions of dollars.

OgwuEgo:
I know the winner already, it's one Abuja based Yoruba lawyer I can't remember his name.

Who? Akinboro?

LagosG:
If we have learnt anything from history, the real owners of this entity called Nigeria and even Africa as a whole (Yes, we are owned. You can deny it if it helps you sleep well at night) can never let a person like Sowore breathe the air of Aso Rock. I don't support any political faction in this country because we have been structured to have zero ideologies in that aspect.
As a matter of fact, democracy is the most useless form of government. They told of its government for the people by the people. Truth is, it is government for the people by the most popular person even if that person is a halfwit

So, Tinubu is the most popular person in Nigeria? Interesting...

Amovingman:
Using AI to reply to someone's post on nairaland in 2026 is insane

I highly doubt it's AI. The number of typos there says it's not AI.

BluntCrazeMan:
Now that the results are already ready,, analysts (like myself) can now begin their own extensive analyses in order to have a good understanding of the processes and procedures of the whole election.

Meanwhile, I wonder why the results were already announced so quickly

How come the whole results from all the parts of Ekiti State - including the remotest parts of Ekiti State - have already reached the final collation center within some few hours??

Teknologia.

Kano Has Sent Kwankwaso a Small but Loud Message by CharlesCNG.

Kwankwaso and the Kwankwasiyya movement may need to start asking themselves uncomfortable questions.

In Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency, APC’s Shuaibu Rabiu was declared winner with **35,356 votes**, while the closest reported challenger scored only a few hundred votes. That is not just a win. That is a political statement.

For a state constantly presented as Kwankwaso’s impregnable fortress, this result is embarrassing. Yes, one bye-election does not decide 2027. But it can reveal mood, structure, mobilisation and ground strength.

And this result says something.

APC did not merely appear in Kano. It organised, mobilised and delivered.

The Kwankwasiyya crowd that dominates social media noise suddenly looked very quiet where it mattered most: the ballot box.

Perhaps this is the beginning of Andrew Liver Salt politics for Kwankwaso — the stomach-settling reality that Kano is not anybody’s private estate.

In 2023, Kwankwaso’s strength in Kano was real. But politics is not museum history. Structures shift. Alliances change. Governors matter. Local machinery matters.

If APC can produce this kind of margin in Dawakin Kudu/Warawa, then 2027 may not be the stroll some people imagined.

Kwankwasiyya should stop measuring power by red caps alone.

Votes, not caps, win elections.

Stop using AI to write nairaland post. You no get shame

Amovingman:
Igbo people's won't be happy about this post

Ahn ahn. Why na.

phr0nesis:
I know. That's we ought to learn from others before it happens to us

Easy to say until it happens to you.

Just pray for the strength and fortitude to pick yourself back up.

Femi Otedola lost $1 billion dollars during the oil crash. Other people around the world who lost money in that same crash committed suicide. He decided to weather the storm and things changed for him.

Same for Obafemi Awolowo. He lost everything before he even became premier of the Western region. He lost everything in the cocoa crash so much that his house and properties were auctioned by creditors.

Ten years later, he would become one of the top three men in Nigeria.

As you can see from Ronaldinho's case, his troubles started when the govt fined him $2 million. He has gone through hell and is trying to pick himself back up. No need to judge him for it.

phr0nesis:
Ronaldinho's fall from grace needs to be studied. Guy really fell off

Modified:
For those asking how he fell off. With the kind of talent Ronaldinho displayed on pitched, by now, he would have been discussed in the same vein as Messi and Cristiano, no battling one legal issue after another.
Man was a legend, and even as a Man U and subtle Madrid fan, I still cherished that guy for how good he was.

It's life. People rise, fall, and some rise again. It can happen to anyone.

This is nonsense O. I was even hoping I'll see some deep political analysis, instead it's the normal lamentation.

A ruling party vs like 5 different opposition parties. How will they lose? Shagari was also as bad as Tinubu and also despised. Yet he won because the opposition was divided.

The quality of things that gets to frontpage nowadays ehn.

Story. The people who become CEO are those who are good at office politics.

All this communication whatever na nonsense.

It's all about the politics.

Rootprof:
Let them pass same judgement to all states then we will take them serious but if the judgement is only applicable to Jos and plateau then it is loop sided usual to favour hausa fulani.

It obviously applies everywhere.

CodeTemplar:
Can berom get same status in Kano?

Yes. They can. Under the law.

But what is in the law and what is in practice is different.

SixSeven:
My dear, use the internet

You know, we have AI now, it can help you fact check my claim and you will see the other states that had the same issue.

My dear, check the internet, we have AI now. You can't be spewing misinformation in this day and age.

SixSeven:
South West did not determine Obasanjo's win neither did it determine Buhari's losses for years. Tinubu lost both Osun and Lagos, the two places he claims to come from.

It did. In 2003. And also in 2011 for Jonathan.

SixSeven:
The popular case study is Rivers.

Is this a joke? Using the only state with blatant rigging as the entire case study? Talk about strawmanning. Rivers was the only state where the vote count and iREV figures differed. The remaining states tallied.

Damn. Lapite has finally gone

greatseed:
You are part of the reason our country struggles to move forward. Rather than taking an informed and objective view of issues, you resort to sentiment and blame one man for the challenges of a nation of over 250 million people.
Instead of constantly looking for someone to blame, why not acknowledge the role of individuals who vandalize and steal equipment meant for the smooth operation of public infrastructure, including train services? Must the President personally manage railway operations as well?
If there are failures within the transport system, your criticism should be directed at the responsible agencies and officials, including those entrusted with managing daily operations. Demand accountability from the appropriate authorities, such as the Ministry of Transport and operational managers, rather than reducing every issue to political blame.
Real progress comes from responsibility, accountability, and constructive engagement—not from uninformed accusations and endless fault-finding. :::

We didn't vote for minister of transport. We voted for Tinubu. We would drag him, and he should drag whoever is responsible.

Like play like play, this is how Atiku would become president.

Randomed1:
When a lion says come I won’t eat you . Na before before Yoruba man go say Hausas/fulani are very honest people . now breeze don blow and fowl nyansh don open . We know who dey do us . Na Hausa/fulani. Boko haram, iswap, lakurawa and the nonsensical rest of them . Plus the “cowardic” leaders that are pampering and not bold and fierce against terrorists but quick to oppress the masses .

Actually, most bandits are Fulani and Boko Haram is Kanuri.

Omo. As I dey scroll down and I reach the picture side, na that head shape greet me first

placeofallure:
Which year to which year is that cause I was also there, but I don't think he was the VC while I was there, though I am nonchalant about those things.

Ambali was VC from 2012. I was there from 2013 to 2018 and he was the VC.

dammyco:
2002-2006 set right? I was on mini campus that time o

Lol. 2006 wey I just dey enter JSS1

Ralphtot:
Big bros i hail you oh.
I be Oloyede boy sha

Bigger bros. Oloyede had already left when I entered in 2013.

Hezmatosky210:
Abeg no vex, can you describe for this house where the Senate building of Uni Ilorin is? If actually you attended the school. And the year this prof served as VC

Senate Building is close to bank area/auditorium. And the post literally mentioned the years he was VC.

Our VC when I was in school

concho:
We won’t get to that point again in 2027. There will be no need for anyone to say, “Go to court.”

We will make it so hot that it becomes impossible to snatch, and so heavy that no one can run away with it.

It will be the Yorubas and his own kinsmen campaigning against him by the time the Fulani political establishment is done with them in this 2026

Done with them how?

Are you tacitly in support of terrorist attacks against fellow Nigerians?

Ofunaofu:
Don’t say it can never happen in the south east, of course it can.

A Yoruba man won in the East in the last election. So, it has happened in the East.

WizardOfNG:
Bruv, you can't be weak in Nigerian political leadership. The likes of Wike do what they must and you wouldn't understand. I don't need to say more than that.

You're talking about builders. Akintola is not a builder. Neither is Wike. They're destroyers. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Better to even call Ahmadu Bello than to be calling Akintola his stooge.

WizardOfNG:
I included him because he was purposeful. Nigerian politicians today are disgraceful. They are like 10k olosho available to anyone. No capacity whatsoever.

By the way, Wike na my guy. Love that dude die. If you understand Nigerian politics you will know it is full of devils and monsters.

Wike is not in that category. His main sin is that he is loud and outspoken.

Aside that, he is a compassionate, brave and competent leader. I have met so many folks from Rivers, in Lagos State, who swear by Wike's performance as Governor. He is doing same as FCT Minister showing he is the real deal.

Purposeful how? Is Wike purposeful? What's the difference between them? What was his purpose? Destroy his parrty and impose himself on the people?
