Isn't this the guy that took over from Mobutu, or is that the other Congo, anyway wàhálà nor dey finish for óbodo Africa.

Our so called saviours, especially millitary ones, will always come and treat us worse that the ones they replace (and I know Kabila was not a soldier before any smart Alec turns up).

That is his father. Joseph took over after his father was killed by his child soldiers.

47 and still involved with fraud.

Very easy to conclude he was a fraudster all his life. Now, the children know their dad is a thief.

What a stain on our great country. Tarnishing the image of the country despite all the efforts of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) to redeem.

Your criminal president?

In the year of our lord 2025, this is what is troubling you.

ReacherSaidNoth:
Does this also apply to the children of thieving politicians?

Tiiri gbosa for you.

Eriokanmi:
Maybe DR Congo too should split like Sudan did such that,the Muslim dominated region would stay apart. South Sudan will remain grateful to God for their independence forever. DR Congo is another highly populated country in africa without many noticing

There's no Muslim dominated region in DR Congo. It is a Christian majority country.

It would be stupidity for the government to scrap the different Bands.

Look at the stupid thing the idiot expert too is saying. Shey he doesn't understand economics? This country sef. Idiots all over.

Venezuela is a disgrace.

AyeMoJuba:
If you are a Yoruba, then, you are a disappointment because you don't know your history at all

Ile Ife is like the house of a man who fathered so many children and they all went out to become kings in their different domains
Yes, Oyo was an empire that covers the whole of Yoruba land within Nigeria and beyond but does that remove the fact that Oranmiyan, the first Alaafin of Oyo came from Ile Ife his fathers house?

Now, the man who heads that house is his father...can a man grow big and say his father is less than he is?

Seems like you're the one that doesn't know your history. You're just using vibes and insha Allah.

Check your history books. The Ooni of Ifè was always subservient to the Aláàfin of Oyo.

If you haven't read a Yoruba history book, then talking to you would just be a waste of time.

LeeSmart:
I don't even know who has the higher power amongst these two monarchs. Someone should plss tell me who's more powerful.

None of them have power. Since they're ceremonial.

But normally, the Alaafin of Oyo is the historical emperor of the Oyo empire/Yorubaland. The Ooni of Ife was just relegated to Ife.

But... Obafemi Awolowo had beef with the Alaafin of Oyo during his time. So, he deposed the Alaafin and elevated the Ooni of Ife to the preeminent position within Yorubaland.

That's the cause of all these wahala.

Skeyskey:
Give honour to whom honour is due. GEJ tried his best for Nigeria and it has started to yield results. If Tinubu achieves anything meaningful I'll be the first to praise him.

Someone accused you of cheering for Morocco and you didn't say anything about it.

Tradepunter2:
He's a yoruba man that lived in the northern.... just like other operatives that have worked for the agency... who can be ibo that lived in north all their lives..... or edo man that's lived in the north all their lives.... multiple languages and area of residence have been a major criteria of qualifying into the DSS

Oh. I thought you meant he was from somewhere like Kwara state.

[quote author=Tradepunter2 post=136449152][/quote]He's a Northern Yoruba man? Where is he from? I check Google, I no see anything reasonable.

dominique:
They sent me a message on how to connect to the MTN network sometimes last week when I mailed them to help me rollover my data plan but I ignored it because the line was not in any phone. I didn't go about it till last night and ever since then it's been smooth, hitch-free browsing, I didn't even need to restart my phone. Something I've not experienced on the network in years! I hope it remains like this. The over of 20gb regular data and 40gb night data they wiped off when their network was unavailable still day pain sha

For those interested, this is how to go about it

We wey dey use 3310 nko?

I'm not surprised. Typical of Tinubu. Half baked government 😒

favor914:
in all honesty your level of reasoning is rather porous, politics is not about sentiments, no honor amongst thieves.

Tinubu through INEC can give these desperate ones forming opposition in adc the Tanzanian treatment.

It is obvious that u are oblivious to the powers the president of the republic has?

No body dash tinubu president of the federal republic of Nigeria, jagaban no be Ebele Jonathan, u & them x 100 amaechi, atiku, Obi can not do anything.

Tinubu can do anyhow and rig himself in, just like Akintola. Do you know what happened to Akintola and the Sardauna?

What about what happened to Shehu Shagari?

Legitimacy is very important.

SeverusSnape:
... And who told you they like his government? The same way you lots deceive yourselves that majority of Nigerians like druggie's government.

Uganda's GDP has been growing at 7% consistently for the past 30 years. Of course they like his government. Do you know how much more better Nigeria would have been if Obasanjo had his third term?

Fiscus105:
I am sure you will masturbate this afternoon with satisfaction, going by attention you would gather with Ur personal opinion.

If you are not slave as u suggested, you would know that, history made Ooni supreme over all Obas in Yoruba land.

LET SAY ALAAFIN IS EVEN SUPERIOR AS YOU CLAIMED, I THINK ANOTHER NAME FOR YORUBAS IS OMOLUWABI, WHERE YOUR OWN ALAAFIN GETS HIS OWN TYPE OF OMOLUWABI? MAYBE HE SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO ACADEMICS RESEARCHES.......WELL, LET HIM KEEP DOING GRAGRA AND TURN HIMSELF TO OBJECT OF RIDICULES AMONG THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RESPECTING HIM.


You are free to read press release by YCE today for proper update.

Adage says, we earn respect and not imposing it.

Picture below will show you where OYO came from.

This is like saying that the British prime minister is superior to the American President because America came from Britain.

BodyCount:
No matter the politics or the twisting of history and culture, THE ALAAFIN WILL FOREVER BE A SENIOR TO ỌỌNI OF IFẸ.
The name Yorùbá is synonymous with Ọyọ people and Alaafin, and not any other group.

Historically, the place of Ọọni is a CHIEF PRIEST, and not a king. It was in the time of Awolowo that the Ọọni started being relevant, due to the fact that he was not in good terms with him.

THE ALAAFIN IS THE SUPREME KING OF THE ENTIRE OÓDUA RACE (YORUBA RACE).

I thought as much. I always suspected it was Awolowo that upstaged the Alaafin with the Ooni.

Kemetian:
I heard that whenever the Ooni of Ife goes to this city, it's as if the Pope has arrived! People fill the streets!

The most interesting part about these “ancient Nigerians” of Brazil is that they don’t joke with their traditional religion.

And the Ooni of Ife is their spiritual overlord.

You dare not mess with their Ifa religion.
That’s their identity. Without it, they’re nothing.

They observe their traditional festivals with thousands of people on the streets. They sell akara on the streets, and still call it Akara.

I know all this because my cousin is in Rio and married to one of them. One beautiful black Brazilian babe. They so much love Nigerians that came from Naija. They are ready to give their daughter’s hand in marriage to any Nigerian.

The Brazilian government respects them a lot, and apparently has made Yoruba one of the official languages of Brazil. 😊

Now imagine if in the next 2000 years, these traditional Yoruba Brazilians return to Yorubaland and take half of the land of the Christian/Muslim Yoruba by force, after all, it is the land of their Orisa and ancestors. They would say the people living there are not true Yoruba people since they no longer worship the Orisa.

That's basically what Israel did to Palestine.

NwaAmaikpe:



A whitelady that married a blackman against the will of her people, gave him a stay in the country, spoils him silly with gifts and worships the ground he steps on will readily smash his phone out of sexual frustration.
Sex is not a want, it is a need.
That is why it is called S.EX, meaning So Esssential.

The Bible says in Songs of Solomon 8;4, "do not awaken love till it is it's time" because the Bible knows that once you have tasted sex or orgasm, it becomes a need for your body that must be sustained.

You cannot fool nature.
Pastors tell us to be celibate but the Lord in his infinite wisdom sends his angels to give us wetdreams so that we can ejaculate and maintain our sanity.
Yet the same pastor will tell us we have spirit wives and spirit husbands rather than tell us to respond better while making love in our dreams.

Biology may call this wetdreams, but reality proves it is simply water finding its level.

People do very irrational things just for sex and it is called sex-deprivation-induced-temporary-insanity.
A married man will lie that his wife is dead so he can furk a stranger, normal people will shag imbeciles and madwomen, even classy ladies will molest school children due to the chemical imbalance that exists when there has been insufficient or no sexual release.

That's why our eyes clear when we cum, but it does not actually clear, we regain our sanity.
Absalom didn't know it was incest till he ejaculated; suddenly he couldn't stand the same lady he was once obsessed about.

The court will acquit a man who shot his wife dead after walking in on her cheating, likewise it will acquit a woman who strangled her lover to death while straddling him in the course of lovemaking; because both could be attributed to temporary insanity in the throes of passion.

Just like I'd blame women who sex-starve their husbands and then they end up doing outrageous things like shagging a donkey or masturbating in public buses, I'd also blame this man for withholding his preek.

Sex is not overrated, it is actually underrated.

After oxygen and food, the next basic need of an adult is good sex.
Never underestimate the power of a good preek, 82% of all bitter women are preek deprived, while 70% of all core women-haters are involuntary celibates.

If you have a man, open your legs for him more than you open your Bible. Because the former will save that relationship while the later will also confirm to you that while respect is the block of a union, sex is it's mortar.

Opor! See wordsmith!

Technically, it was Absalom's sister that was raped.

It is a popular past time of the Nigerian intellectual to lament about the sameness of the APC and the PDP. This sentiment usually bubbles to the surface after a round of defections by politicians from the PDP to the APC or vice versa. Although lately, the traffic seems to be from PDP to APC.

The Nigerian intellectual looks at the West and see that its parties are divided into the left and right, and they wish that Nigeria could be the same.

Since I am a self avowed member of the Nigerian intellectual class, instead of lamenting, I’ll do one better by coming up with the ideological difference between the APC and the PDP. The difference at this moment is nascent and not so clear cut. But I believe that it is something that any of the parties involved can distill into an ideological stance.

The PDP has a nationalist bent while the APC is more tribal in its orientation. Simply, the APC is tribalist, while the PDP is nationalist.

The nationalism of the PDP took root in its formation. It was formed by the G34, which was a group of Northern and Eastern politicians who were opposed to Abacha’s plan to transition into a civilian president. The G34 allied with the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM), founded by the late Shehu Yar’Adua, to form the PDP.

The APC, on the other hand, is an agglomeration of previously existing ethnic political parties (The ACN and the CPC). The CPC, led by Buhari, was basically the party of the Hausa-Fulani, while the ACN, led by Tinubu, was the party of the Yoruba.

You can also see the ethnic coloration in the action of the APC in government. Buhari’s government was dominated by the Hausa-Fulani. The same way the current Tinubu’s government is dominated by the Yoruba.

Meanwhile, when the PDP was in power, Obasanjo’s government was quite nationalistic. The Yar’adua - Jonathan government was less so, but there were still arguments to be made for their national outlook.

Of course, the PDP was a lootocracy. But at least, looting under the PDP crossed beyond ethnic lines. Dasuki shared his looted $2 billion with other corrupt politicians like Bode George, Yerima Abdullahi, Peter Odili, Attahiru Bafarawa, and Ahmadu Ali.

Meanwhile, under Buhari, the looting was primarily within his kinsmen, like Abubakar Malami and Hadi Sirika of Nigeria Airways fame. The Yoruba faction of the APC took the looting in stride. Because like Tinubu said, it would soon be his own turn to have a go at the national cake. And now that he has gotten his hands on it, he and his kinsmen are stuffing it in their collective mouths without remorse.

The ethnic political formation of the APC isn’t new in the country. In fact, this has been how it has always been. Since independence, prominent political parties have always started out as ethnic associations, before metamorphosing into tribal parties.

In the wake of independence, the NPC was for the Hausa Fulani, the AG for the Yoruba, and the NCNC for the Igbos.

To be fair, the NCNC initially started out as a nationalist party. It was so nationalist that even the Alaafin of Oyo was an NCNC stalwart, in opposition to Awolowo’s AG. He was deposed for that.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Awolowo kicked out the NCNC from the Western region by appealing to ethnic solidarity in the 1951 Western Region election. Licking his wounds, Azikiwe would return to East and transform into the Igbo tribal champion.

We would have the same tribal configurations during the second republic. It would have also been the same in the June 12 elections, but the Babangida regime nipped it in the bud and decreed that all politicians must join either of two political parties.

It is also curious to note that Nigeria had the best time ever in its history under the 15 year rule of the nationalist PDP (1999 to 2015). It seems like not being bigoted has its advantages.

For one, you’ll be willing to look for the best of the best to helm affairs, even if they’re not from your tribe. Like the technocrats (El Rufai, Iweala, Ezwkwesili, Soludo, and co) during Obasanjo’s time as president.

The current fourth republic is the longest we have had democracy in Nigeria. It is very likely that with time, the differences between both political parties can become ossified enough for them to have distinct ideologies.

At least that way, it would be harder for politicians to decamp willy nilly, and that would be one less headache for the Nigerian intellectual.

RandomFellow:
It's not everything you'll see in the news. Do a little digging of your own; make friends with people from all over the country. Ask questions and you'll understand why people are wary of their presence in a community; especially when they are new migrants.

**There's a reason Nigerians rejected Buhari's Ruga, farm settlements, etc. Try to read wide, and you'll get the point

You people rejected ruga. Said you wanted ranching instead. Now they've bought land that they want to use for ranching, that one na wahala again.

RandomFellow:
Yeah... Except not all Nigerians are fighting a covert war. My problem here is the jihad. Remove it, and I want state of origin abolished! Go live wherever you want!

Those Fulani men acquired the land lawfully. So, I don't know what covert war you're talking about. Yoruba people in the South West also think the Igbos are fighting a covert war against them to take over Lagos.

RandomFellow:
Its not supposed to be an issue; but knowing that the Caliphate want the whole of Southern Nigeria to become a conquered territory, this calls for concern.

Their plan is simple- acquire massive lands legally; bring their people in tiny bits, and let them marry and reproduce; overpopulate the acquired lands by massive births; covertly begin to ask for basic rights like schools, hospitals, markets, rights to vote, etc; become major political players in the said area where they have taken root, like deciding who becomes the chairman of a local government chairman or even governor. Strike a deal with a desperate politician to advance their course; get an opportunity to put their person in power... Take over the state and never relinquish their acquired power... Continue till their holy book is dipped in the Atlantic Ocean!

Read about Afikpo North in Ebonyi state (focus on Mgbom, Uwanna), and Ilorin in Kwara state.

You can replace caliphate with Igbo in this sentence and it would still be talking about the same thing.

All Nigerians are free to live and vote in any part of the country. All Nigerians are indigenes of Nigeria.

SocialJustice:
More years!!!

This girl was finer when she was fat. Those nollywood movies from before 2005 really captured her true beauty.

She wasn't fat then. She was darker. And she was finer when she was darker.

wizelink:
Okay. We dey watch how FG intend to rope dem for Naija after training or schooling.

Student loan. Simple.

Damn. What a limp-dicked rebuttal. It just asks raises questions and critiques the style instead of providing solid counter arguments backed up with solid evidence.

The only time it provides evidence, it cites evidence from 2023, which is a sleight of hand, because Buhari ruled Nigeria for half of 2023. If you want to bring data to counter Tinubu, bring 2024 data.

franchasng:
Very correct analysis.

It is very easy to defeat Tinubu if and only if the Northern politicians (Atiku, El Rufai and Co) championing a coalition of opposition can swallow their pride, arrogance and ill-timed ambition and throw their full support behind a popular Southern Presidential candidate.


Let's remember that El Rufai and Buhari made Tinubu President through his indifferent and Idoncare attitude which made Tinubu to hijack INEC for the rigging nonsense they did by switching off the iREV portal and polling unit result upload.


Rigging in Presidential election have limit if the people don't want you.


If he likes let him use EFCC to intimidate all the corrupt Governors to decamp to APC, that will never stop him from being defeated in 2027.


The only thing that will make Tinubu win easily is if the so called coalition of opposition fail or if they end up presenting Atiku Abubakar as their consensus Presidential candidate for 2027.



But if the North are serious to stop Bola Tinubu from winning a reelection in 2027, they should swallow their pride and make a sacrifice by announcing Peter Obi as their preferred consensus Presidential candidate for 2027 election. Once the North do this, it is finished for Tinubu and he knows this. They can have a solid agreement with Obi to do only single tenure.


Only a Peter Obi candidacy backed by Northern Nigerians can defeat Tinubu in 2027 irrespective of rigging. Anything less will be a walk over for Tinubu.

This is another great option but the problem is the Obidient movement which is a collection of young Nigerians from all tribe and even religion might not be happy if Peter Obi deputize Atiku, they will lose majority of Obidient people support/vote.


But if Obi can convince Obidients and young Igbos, and Atiku is able to rally his Northern brothers to queue behind him, then they will also defeat Tinubu with all his rigging plans

You're forgetting the elephant in the room. A Goodluck Jonathan candidacy.
