AcuraZDX:
Same way you guys say Tinubu built Lagos, what's your problem in someone else building Anambra?

Ehh Bateria

Nice2023:
Always Anambra.

Thank u Peter Obi...that is what legacy is all about.

Not elevating agberoism as one man one is known for.

naijaking1:
Nothing stops us from celebrating the achievement of these SSS young people in Ogun, just like we're celebrating the achievement of small boys in JSS in Anambra. Why should hatred and cheap politics be at the forefront of everything?

Zooposki:
The numbers of Yorubas calling for their genocide was overwhelming. Stop the nonsense lies.

AcuraZDX:
When we call you guys serpent, it will be like we're lying.

Here is your brother pooja

AcuraZDX:
Yes oo.

Thank you Sanwo Olu for that important deportation to Osun forest. 😂

Accidental Lagosians sent to their lands

Hussein052:

As Africans we need to cherish and promote our indigenous languages.

Just so you know, Ola also means jewel in Igbo language. 💎

The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has adopted a Nigerian language name for its official match ball for interclub competitions.

CAF revealed that the new match ball, in collaboration with PUMA, is OLA.

In a statement by the football body on Wednesday, CAF clarified that “OLA” holds significant meanings in both Yoruba and Arabic languages. In Yoruba, it signifies “wealth,” “honour,” and “respect,” while in Arabic, it represents “rise” and “success.”

It reads: “Ahead of this weekend’s blockbuster line-up that sees Africa’s top clubs battle for TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup and TotalEnergies CAF Champions League top honours, Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”) and PUMA have unveiled a new match ball: OLA,” the governing body announced.

“OLA will be used this weekend – starting in Tunis when Espérance Sportive de Tunis host Al Ahly of Egypt in the first leg of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League Final and on Sunday when Zamalek hosts RS Berkane in the second leg of the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup final at the Cairo International Stadium.

“OLA, which means “wealth,” “honour,” and “respect” in Yoruba, and “rise” and “success” in Arabic, was chosen to symbolize the dynamic and energetic nature of African football.

“Embodying the spirit of Africa, Ola’s design is inspired by the continent’s vibrant colours, art, and traditions.”

The newly introduced match ball will be used for the two-legged CAF Champions League final, featuring Al Ahly and Esperance, as well as the return fixture of the CAF Confederation final between RS Berkane and Zamalek in Cairo on Saturday, May 19.

You have Nnamdi Azikwe to thank for that. Edo and Delta were part of the Western region until Azikiwe happened and it became Midwest region then Bendel state. The military helped Azikiwe finish work patapata and eventually divided it to Edo and Delta.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics and corroborated by the World Bank, the fastest-growing regional economy in Nigeria is the Southwest. They also have the lowest unemployment rate, which is half that of the Southeast and one-third that of the Northwest.

In addition, they have the most urban development of any zone in Nigeria, with Lagos and Ogun alone having more urban development than the entire Southeast.

The chief reason for this is their culture of respect for age and authority, which allows for political sanity in the region, and continuity from one Governor to the other, even if they are from different parties.

Have you ever seen a Southwest Governor fighting his predecessor, as happens in every other zone? It is rare. You may bring your Ambode and Tinubu, but that is an emotional argument. They did not fight until the end of Ambode'd tenure and it was a storm in a teacup that was speedily resolved.

Take the examples of Ayo Fayose and Kayode Fayemi, Abiola Ajimobi and Seyi Makinde, as well as Senator Ademola Adeleke and Rauf Aregbesola.

Each of these Governors handed over to a bitter political rival from another party. Yet, when they transferred power, there was very little or no political muscle flexing, and their successors continued their projects. And then, within a few months of their successors being in office, they reconciled and were photographed together.

And as a group, the Southwest Governors are more integrated than any other regional government. They meet regularly. Just Google 'Southwest Nigeria Governor meet' and see how many times they have met in the last four years. If you take the number of times governors of every other zone have met and combined it, it is not up to the number of times Yoruba Governors have met.

The G5 Governors were meeting because of power for themselves. The Southwest Governors meet because of progress for their people. Big difference!

Look at Ondo. The Akeredolu issue would have spiralled out of control if it occurred elsewhere, but the Southwest Governors, principally led by Makinde, who is not even from the same party as Akeredolu, met and brought the state back from the abyss.

Secessionists and local terrorists cannot try what they do in Igboland and the North in Yorubaland. Why? Because of good leadership and followership. I know you are annoyed and want to insult me. But let me ask you this question. Am I lying?

Did you not see how Makinde dealt with Yoruba nation agitators without waiting for the Federal Government? Do you not see how Amotekun fish out bandits and kidnappers more effectively than the Nigerian Police Force? Abi mo paro?

Leadership is what we learn from the Yoruba of the Southwest. The ability to work with a leader even if you do not like him. They discipline of subsuming your ego to the progress of your people. And finally, they are willing to listen to elders and traditional institutions.

And that is why what is happening in Rivers State can never occur in the Southwest, and what we see in Anambra, Abia, and Imo is unheard of among the Yoruba. The Ganduje-Kwankwaso struggle is almost impossible in the Southwest.

Philosophers say when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. But in the Southwest, elephants do not act in confrontation. They partner in cooperation. And that is what the rest of us have to learn. If not, the Southwest will keep widening the developmental gap between them and the rest of Nigeria to the extent that soon, we will prefer to japa to Yorubaland instead of Europe and America, where things are becoming increasingly difficult.

ThiefnubuBandit:
Both Abe and Wike will soon crash. Idiotic selfish bastards!!! Abe is reconciling with Wike because of his governorship ambition.

Namaster:
I wonder what Reno will do when Obi returns to PDP for 2027 election.

Peter Obi went for these meetings at night, like Nicodemus, hoping to keep them secret.

SpatialKing:
Imo state alone is the 2nd largest economy after Lagos state

Imo state now has the largest Natural Gas reserves in West Africa

All the South East states are among the states with the Highest HDI aside Ebonyi state

Aside Lagos
Enugu state has better urban road network than any other south west state

festacman:
Die diligence is key in any business transaction.

Lagos state demolish illegal buildings built on canal, right of way and water way.

Maryanne Onyiyechi Moghalu - Invest in Lagos at your own peril.

Delta state to demolish buildings built on government gazetted land.

Maryanne Onyiyechi Moghalu - Due diligence is key, no matter where dot every 1 and cross every T or you will cry later.


Nigerian politics 101 - If you like let them gaslight you, then you are weak. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!

Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command have busted a car theft syndicate that specialised in stealing vehicles from Abuja and selling them in Lagos State.

The FCT Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh, during a parade of suspects on Monday, disclosed that luck ran out of the gang when a friend to one of their victims whose car was stolen in Abuja travelled to Lagos for an engagement only to see the stolen car of his friend at a car stand, put up for sale.

He subsequently alerted the victim to come to Lagos and check the car. On getting to Lagos, he confirmed the car to be his stolen Toyota Camry and informed the FCT police.

The CP said police detectives deployed to the scene, discovered that the original Chasis of the stolen car had been changed, the car was recovered and the criminals arrested.

Igweh revealed, “On May 1, 2024, at about 3 pm, acting on credible intelligence, police operatives of Apo Legislative Quarters, trailed and arrested two notorious car theft suspects namely, Anthony Chibuzor and his friend, Jonas Chikwe, both males of Lagos State who had been on the wanted list of the command.

“They are part of a notorious car theft syndicate terrorising the FCT and its environs. Three vehicles to which the suspects gave no satisfactory account were recovered including a Toyota Camry with Reg No. Lagos 23, an Audi A4 with Reg No. KRD 349 JD and a Honda Accord Sports with Reg No. BDG 42 JC, some of which the Chassis No. had been altered by the suspects.”
