History has a funny way of repeating itself. Instead of focus to be on growth of the region. You think by mass bloodshed you will accomplish your goals? I pity them. How many decades was SE setback due to Biafran War? And they were well armed past these dreamers. These ones want to make it centuries of oppression /neglect instead.

I just pity the helpless populace stuck between political rivalry. They are literally playing with your lives. Me? I can never fight for a politician or any so called "brother". Too sharp! Highest I will defend my land against any invader. Atiku said it best after the 2023 election, "Because there is no zone alone in this country that can produce a President on his own. I have always told my Igbo compatriots that you negotiate for power, you don’t fight for it."

TenQ:
You think Ukraine can afford to lose this war that was brought upon them by Russia?

Ukraine that has already lost? Ignore all the propaganda they lost air supremacy very early. Air defences, tanks and armoured vehicles that cost USD millions are taken out by $20k drones. They are outgunned in artillery 10:1. Not even F16 that they are hyping can change anything. This is why their counteroffensive is in shambles, for over 2 months they are still in the grey zone bogged down in minefields with no air cover and yet to breach any of the 3 Russian lines of defence. NATO must alter course soon it is approaching that stage. How many more men need to die without cause

Flier:
They can win it’s just a matter of time but might not be militarily,unrest may start in Russia and russia will withdraw just like its past wars with Afghanistan and USA vs Vietnam
That is what they called winning,this is the only way to beat a super power (grind them till their citizens start protest)beside Ukraine isn’t a joke either,Russia just have too many soldiers to lose

Russia cannot afford to lose this war they are facing an existential threat. Different to the Russian-Afghan war, Ukraine is on the border and failure will lead to disintegration. 500,000 dead Ukrainians and counting with 4 times that number maimed. Current kill ratio looks to have worsened beyond 10:1 where it has been.

ISLAMBAD:
I thought IPOBS are the ones dividing yorubas along religious lines with the tag " Yoruba Muslim" , that Yoruba is Yoruba, that religion doesn't matter in SW ?


Self deceit/denial is the worst thing a man can do to himself

They are using technicality to secure the bag. Nothing to see here.

Botragelad:
Blimey, you lot are always moaning about the US and how they're messing up your continent. You think they're behind every bad thing that happens, from wars to famines to diseases. You're always pointing the finger at them and saying they're the root of all evil. But if they kept their noses out of your business, you'd probably accuse them of having some sinister agenda or not caring about your plight. You can't have it both ways, mate.

Instead of queuing behind other countries and begging for crumbs, why don't you try to stand on your own two feet and make something of yourselves? Why don't you let other countries queue behind you for a change and show them what you're made of? And while you're at it, why don't you sort out your own problems and deal with the corruption and greediness that's rife among your leaders? Stop crying about the US all the time and take some responsibility for your own actions. Maybe then you'll see some positive changes in your continent.

We live in a world subjected to US ''Rules Based World Order" which is essentially a valuation system based on flawed economics. Real money is gold, not paper backed by market sentiment. Countries with abundant resources like Nigeria cannot sell its crude for its weight in gold linked to its own currency, we are instead forced to partake in the giant Ponzi scheme of US government bonds. Something they print in their sleep spreading inflation to the world.

To worsen matters, the infrastructure that extracts our largest export is owned by these same Western powers. In essence, they extract our natural resources leaving us a mere portion of our profits. Similar to what is happening in Niger, 1 in 3 lights bulbs in France are powered from Uranium in Niger. Yet, 90% of the Niger population has no access to electricity. Exploitation 101! It is a similar pattern throughout Africa. Whilst we own crucial energy resources that power the world, we cannot get true value for our commodities. This is not by coincidence.

We have to also note how the west still controls developing nations with aid and IMF/World Bank loans. So check it out, we can't sell our exports in local currency which would spur demand internationally courtesy of our trade partners. We therefore need western loans to plug the deficit in our budget but because of US Rules Based World order the interest repayable is in USD. USD that naira is falling to everyday. So we need to borrow more and more to survive i.e. our dependency on the West is absolute. Do you get it now? It is catch 22 you end up back where you started which is that Western governments have a stranglehold on Africa since colonialism.

Unfortunately, it will remain so because without cheap resources there is no industry in the west. Only war can change that but of course they don't sell such weaponry to Africa. It's military capability must be kept down. When you talk of us "moaning" and "begging for crumbs", understand the stupidity that you are uttering. In fact, if you are an African, then you are a disgrace to those same ancestors they carried. Your relatives. The people whose labour developed industries without compensation during that industrial revolution they talk of.

If not polygamy how do we keep male testosterone on check? We only use it for war and love. A woman in menopause cannot satisfy a man. Wetin man go do?

kingamaa:
Niger no get gas, their oil production is about 20 Kbopd which is not enough for their domestic use. However, the US has a strategic drone base in Niger which she is keen to keep, not to mention the Uranium from Niger and of course, the never-ending supremacy battle with Russia etc etc, and yes the matter pass BAT but he should be wise and tactful in handling it otherwise it could boomerang.

It's called the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline. Our gas will flow through Niger and Algeria on to Europe. It's always a game of resources. Yes oo it will boomerang if care not taken. We must guage Russian involvement.

HRMK:
DONT MIND THE MUMU!
IS HE NOT ONE OF THE FOOLS CALLING PETER OBI WHO ON MONTHLY BASES REMOVES 250M OF STATE FUNDS TO HIS PRIVATE WAREHOUSE A SAINT?IS HE A SAINT OR AN ARTFUL DODGER?YEYE ONES!!

Correct! All of them are for self-interest at the end of the day. No man pure.

id911:
You people will learn a bitter lesson in the misadventures you're cheering on in Niger.

1 on 1 we will crush them but the plot twist is if Wagner is already inside everywhere go burst. This is not our fight.

kingamaa:
Wise move

Don't be a puppet for the West, don't kill fellow Africans to suit the colonial masters

Let Niger sort out itself and allow sanctions and blockades to do the rest

Attack their stomach instead of the army and the people and watch the same people singing the praises of the putschist calling for their heads soon.

The matter pass BAT. US blew up EU's Nordstream pipeline and there must be replacement. They want to use Nigerian gas the same way France uses Nigerien Uranium and gold.

DrGoodman:
They didn't pay the honest Labour Party representatives.

Only corrupt APC and PDP got the alert.

For your mind. Wait there. Politicians have no integrity don't allow them play with your head with too much good cop bad cop!

The argument is valid...

So when the masses cried out from under his new naira he didn't know that his day of reckoning was coming?

Amotolongbo:
Where they are the minority, they preach tolerance. But where they are the majority in they exhibit intolerance

Seriously? Name a tribe in Nigeria that is more accommodating than the Yoruba? From Lagos to Ibadan you will even see many Igbos conducting business peacefully. Many even speak Yoruba. You just de yarn nonsense.

Ibori is a Delta man so it is only right that I also add that this same UK that won't allow Nigeria to extract crude oil ourselves. They use underhand tactics to ensure that the status quo remains. Imagine another nation dictating to us our share of profits. Free our resources first before you talk of corruption!

Pot calling kettle black, the hypocrisy really stinks!

Where do I start? This same UK where politicians enriched themselves with lucrative contracts during the plandemic. The matter died. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson that awarded contracts to Jennifer Arcuri that he was having an affair with? The matter died. Or is it US we want to talk next? Incumbent President Joe Biden collecting bribes and also enriching family members? The matter is currently dying. Beyond corruption they are war criminals yet none of them has ever smelt trial at The Hague.

In this corruption game our leaders still dey learn work.

Awon land grabbers! They want to use back door enter give them chance everywhere go turn to no man's land werey

gentiles:
Cowards die many times before their death, cowardice and timidity runs in the veins of an average Yoruba man. Why is that Simon Ekpa has not tried sit at home in any S/S state? because he knows the consequence of such an action, but every tribe is making a mockery of Yorubas, because they are weak and spineless. Ekpa is a smart guy, he is only using the proposed sit at home in lagos to test the water, the real agenda is to continue from the destruction they unleashed on lagos in October 2020 under the guise of Endsars. Dis people too mumu

They spineless so? That's why none of you came out to vote that Lagos gubernatorial. If it is to hide inside estate to vote and rig you know that one. Reach main road and vote, fear of man no allow them try. Your women strong pass. Idiot.

SangoOlukosoOba:
Chioma still using a Visa?

Davido definitely knows what he is doing. He definitely didn’t go into a legal marriage also.

Seems dudes soul is already out of the union.

People that are talking about Chioma don't know anything. The real truth is they both deserve eachother. Both Davido and Chioma be ashawo if you know you know let me continue minding my business

Every time you barb your hair make sure to tell the barber to disinfectant all his tools. Secondly, as you enter house clean your entire head + face. Get baby wipes, add some drops of essential oils like Tea Tree. Let it enter well before you bath.

For your sake I hope this is just ingrown bumps. I can see some hairs trapped. Locate tweezers or needle. Very carefully, free trapped strands but don't rip it out from the cuticle else the cycle will repeat. Ingrowns are due to cutting hair below skin level which is usually hard to do but you know as barbers like clippers hitting sharp! Also, cutting against the direction your hair grows is a guaranteed way to cut hair below skin and see bumps. Find your hair growth direction. If they cannot follow the pattern exact then instruct not to shave the hair so closely.

Emperormartin:
This woman will be jailed nothing less than 15yrs

Florida is a "Stand Your Ground" state if I remember correctly. Let us be observing like that.

1Sharon:
Even men won't accept women living at home at that age. They will need to date her like she's a teenager.

What man under 70 is looking at ages 32 to 39? You are comparing apple to orange. Abeg what do you know about men? I would rather date a lady residing with her parents than independent living. At least at home she can't open leg anyhow popsi must involve!

Bobloco:
Then allow the Biafrans to go, is that too much to ask

Conveniently enjoying resources across our ONE Nigeria yet talking Biafra out of the side of your mouth. Why should anybody trust you? I have some news for you.... Alone, California would rank as the 5th largest economy in the world. Notwithstanding, it's resources are still shared by the US federal government.

Asgard73:
Unite with Yoruba people

Will rather go to bed with bororo.. bush dwellers

How fa?

This man is truly shameless

After the fact they will call Yoruba cowards for refusing to support Igbo secession. Why would we support your cause? The same people dragging our land with us? Only fools will argue. I noticed the same trend in other parts of Nigeria. Igbo never face their landlocked area and think of growth. It is to claim Lagos, Edo, Delta, Rivers, Benue and Adamawa etc.

Atiku recently gave you best advice, "No region has produced President on its own. You must negotiate for power, not fight for it". They won't hear word! For this, history will surely repeat itself and it was never favourable to your cause. You are strongest when at the table.

Tiwatoke2:
I believe y’all are seeing how VP Osinbajo has been steadily making us proud. Nigeria’s energy transition plan is definitely going to be a success because he is in charge

World Economic Forum 2030 Reset agenda i.e. The Great Reset. Make una open eye! I have talk enough

We need to eradicate 2 things...

1. Business partner scamming because love thy neighbour as yourself

2. Borrow and not repay i.e. borrow money no be crime

OP useless people everywhere in your write up. So for your mind now you were winning? You carry high interest loans (plural) to repay high interest loan no major source of income? OK....
,

When things like Ancestry DNA exist now. I challenge any of these "American" players to take that DNA test and not see Nigeria as a result. It will be like Obi said, 2 out of 3.

The world has gotten too foolish with lost people abeg no time again

Truthisunique2:
there is nothing he maximed about Lagos

Lagos have been improving he meant a developed society which was why he came from iragbiji in Osun

Since he left Lagos revenue have kept doubling, it's not rocket science, the FIRS man he hyped was given chance by Buhari and failed

Fashola was given chance and failed, they even had to take power ministry from him

All this rhetorics of Nigeria would become like Lagos is scam

Tinubu is a senile failure intoxicated by pride and looking for power

So what is the way forward? My problem with people is too much talk and no action. Come election day people will sit down inside their house. Is that how we will accomplish change?

Truthisunique2:
ok tell us what is competent about tinubu?

The idiot that gave us buhari twice, still defends every of his incompetence and promise to continue where he stopped

Agreed. Honestly, I don't believe he is truly competent my point was we should remove religion from the discussion. Also, what tangible business does he have outside of Lagos State government influence?

Respect must be given to how he maximised state revenue in spite of Obasanjo. He will bolster foreign direct investment and tax revenue. Infrastructure will improve greatly I know that much but too greedy for my liking. Any man that can treat public office like family business and refuse to open public books despite several court judgements is not competent in my eyes.

Let us be real here. There is nothing wrong with a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket. In fact to go further why are we concerning our politics with foreign religions? Influencers are obviously attempting to undermine Tinubu campaign. It is a sideshow! So on top of our tribal woes we now want to add religion?

I like the unwritten North/South power sharing formula, which is important to ensure that no region is marginalised. However, leadership must be based on competency. I am not concerned with the rest. Whether it is Obi, Tinubu or Atiku, let our next president be someone that will bring growth. A person that is serious about restructuring. The current system is broken even the blind can see. We need to grow! Our passport deserves respect. We have abundant resources yet we suffer in poverty and celebrate big men. I pity anybody that sells his/her vote for pittance. Enjoy slavery.
