Edo Vs Igbos saga 🤣... To think the Igbos recruited the Benin people to hate on the Yorubas during the election so they could gain more votes for their Igbo man. It’s funny to see them now fighting each other every day...

Igbos have problems with almost every tribe in Nigeria pic.twitter.com/ZUOc3JH71h

Nigeria to the world!God bless Nigeria for ever! You're all winners even though I think the winner will be between Asake and Davido.

The juice on all these Grammy-nominated Nigerian songs is the Yoruba language they each sang in. You want Grammy, just sing top class music in Yoruba. It has always worked like magic, even with Angelique Kidjo who got nominated then as a Beninnoise of Yoruba extraction!

They should remember our gospel musicians too o, Nathaniel Bassey, Chandler Moore and OBA's Olorun Agbaye is world class deserving of a Grammy award! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Congratulations Mbah but your NYSC certificate forgery remains an albatross you will live with. Judiciary now legalise certificate forgery, electoral irregularities. So much for a nation.

You mean as a Yoruba tribalist?

PALANPUR: The Banaskantha police in Gujarat arrested a Nigerian national, Nwakaego Paul, and seized a substantial quantity of methamphetamine, a prohibited psychotropic substance, valued at Rs 4.26 crore.

Banaskantha district's superintendent of police, Akshayraj Makwana, said that the accused, Nwakaego Paul, who resided in Delhi, was reportedly en route to Mumbai to deliver the contraband.
The arrest occurred during a late-night interception on Tuesday when Paul was traveling aboard a private luxury bus. Acting on a credible tip-off, the police halted the bus at the Amirgadh check-post as it entered the district from Rajasthan. During the search, law enforcement discovered 4.26kg of methamphetamine in her possession. Makwana stated that she had procured the drugs from an undisclosed source in Delhi. Further investigations are underway to uncover her connections and the drug's origin.

The police investigation has revealed that Nwakaego Paul arrived in India in 2021 on a two-month visa and had been residing in the Deepak Vihar area of Delhi.

Two brothers, Chinedu and Omama, were beaten to a pulp, tyres were placed on their necks, petrol doused on their bodies, and they were set on fire in the full glare of the cheering public in Onitsha, Anambra state. The President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, said and did absolutely NOTHING, as did the NLC he leads.

And now, they are shutting down the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and halting flights to and from the nation's capital because of a local matter that happened to Ajaero in Imo.

Look at their video. They are saying, 'An injustice to one is an injustice to all!' So, what happened to Chinedu and Omama is an act of justice? Or Chinedu and Omama are less human than Ajaero? Which is it?

And that coward Yorubas are always miles ahead you in political realms. What you only do is to chestbeat, the way monkeys do before their owners will trick them into cages. Let's meet in 2027

Reno Omokri has debunked a comment of 'sleeping when Yorubas are beating the drums of war' credited to Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, as he revealed how two Yoruba men; Benjamin Adekunle and Olusegun Obsanjo won the Biafran war for Nigeria.

Alleging that Nigerians never learn from history, the former Presodential spokesperson recalled how Murtala Mohammed suffered defeat at the hands of Biafrans at Abagana, losing almost 4,000 soldiers and had to be airlifted by a helicopter, Igbere TV reports.

Reno Omokri wrote;

“If I am sleeping and wake up to hear Yorubas beating drums of war, I will go back to sleep" -IBB,1993? ?The above quote is a HOAX. IBB NEVER made that comment. I urge those circulating the ‘quote’ to research the history of the Yoruba led 2nd Marine Commando?

The problem with Nigerians is that we don't learn from history. Murtala Mohammed suffered defeat at the hands of Biafrans at Abagana and lost almost 4,000 soldiers and had to be airlifted by a helicopter. These are facts you can verify from the BBC. It was 2 Yoruba men who won the war for Nigeria. Their names are Benjamin Adekunle and Olusegun Obasanjo.

If I'm sleeping and wake up to hear Yorubas beating the drums of war, I will go back to sleep" - Gen Ibrahim Babangida, your destiny is to chest beat

The Presidency on Friday said France will return $150 million looted by former Nigerian military leader, General Sani Abacha.

In a statement, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said President Bola Tinubu commended the European country for the decision.

Receiving the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Catherine Colonna, the highly-elated President hailed the strengthening of bilateral relations between Nigeria and France, noting that this progress followed his visit to Paris after his inauguration.

“Thank you for the good news on the return of Abacha loot. We appreciate your effective cooperation concerning the return of Nigeria’s money. It will be judiciously applied in attaining our development objectives,” Tinubu was quoted as saying.

While emphasising the need to reinforce collaboration on both political and economic fronts, the President welcomed the growing cooperation between the two countries in areas of shared interest, such as climate change, economic integration, education, and culture.

Tinubu also acknowledged the signing of a €100 million agreement between Nigeria and France to support the i-DICE programme — a Federal Government initiative to promote investment in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Creative Arts Industries.

The agreement was signed by the Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Technology, Dr. ‘Bosun Tijani, and the French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs at an earlier event at Tafawa Balewa House, the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In her remarks, the French minister conveyed the goodwill of President Emmanuel Macron and expressed France’s readiness to expand mutually beneficial collaboration with Nigeria across multiple sectors.

She proceeded to extend a formal invitation to President Bola Tinubu to attend the forthcoming Paris Peace Forum.

Speaking on the Abacha loot, the French Presidential Envoy said the repatriation followed the completion of legal processes.

“It was a long process, but we are glad that it was concluded. Sometimes, justice may be slow, but this is a very good achievement,” she said.

Colonna also commended President Tinubu’s leadership in handling the affairs of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), saying: “We support your efforts at ECOWAS. We are behind you because we believe that constitutional order is a treasure for all countries, and democracy must be a reality”.

Rwanda and Kazakhstan have just granted Nigerians visa-free access. Congratulations to the government and citizens of my dearly beloved country.

But please, let us use and not abuse these opportunities, like we did when Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Seychelles, offered us this same privilege, and had to revoke it. The United Arab Emirates is only now reconsidering Nigeria.

Nigerians, especially Southern Nigerians, should understand that no matter how clever we think we are, if we try to take advantage of this visa-free access to do what got us delisted from Ethiopia, Tanzania, Seychelles and The United Arab Emirates, they will know. They have entry and exit data, which they cross reference with internal arrest records, and once any country crosses a threshold of criminality, their systems will pick it up.

In the Seychelles, Nigerians, especially Southern Nigerians, and especially one particular region, left a very bitter taste in their mouths. There are almost more Nigerians in some of their detention facilities than their own citizens. Similar is true for India, where more than 70% of Nigerians arrested in India and Bangladesh this year come from one geopolitical zone, name withheld. Sadly, truth always looks like hate to those who hate truth. But in case you think this is hate, please carry out your own independent investigation.

Let us put our God-given intelligence to good use and go to these countries to display good ambassadorial qualities so we can all enjoy this favour and project positive things about our country to these nations.

But Jagaban denied the yacht rumour

Jeyun:
hahaha 😂😂, na now I know say u be really odeh, agbero and tout really get low reasoning to differenciat between leniency and illiteracy. Not surprise the only thing all this open gutter deficators from hebadon knows how to do very well is to mine human skull that's all. They cannot hustle to pay their bills. Lazy dirty people

Possessedkid:
South western are the first people to get educated in nigeria coupled with the fact the colonial master's came to there first and shared their goodies with them


But they lack the zeal to thrive in businesses and ventures

Jeyun:
go back to your Ogbomosho abi hebadan go check wether your old man head still dey him neck oh, before u go carry igbo people matter for your head while hebadan people don collect your old man head for Ogbomosho

Jeyun:
yes they are trooping in to come and use what u cannot use to make money because of your laziness. Business u cannot do work u can not learn apply for white collar job no way. Only to stand on high ways and be looking for hard working motorist to collect money from lazy owomidas. If u come to the east and steal because of your laziness, u see as them burn those ones them go fry u, we hate dirty lazy people like u .

In movies, skits etc, I noticed a very superficial portrayal of the concept "old money" with an entire bandwidth that simplistically spans "who my father is" "designer brands" "or how much money they have".
zero substance, which further encourages the elite of our society to continue to betray their responsibility to society.

To be Old money or to have said mindset implies that you have / can see past money. You can live for higher ideals such as Integrity, service , truth and you can't be bought.

This frame of mind Is "usually" passed down by people who have seen past money and can afford to live for the higher ideals of life e.g Integrity, legacy, impact, love, and service.

People that come to mind most recently are a David Hundeyin, who simply refuses to be silenced and can't be bought, Herbert Macaulay, who could have played ostrich with indigene rights but choose to take a stand or Bolahji Alakija who joined the RAF in World war 2 in his words "Alakija saw his reasons for volunteering and defeating Hitler in a new future, one beyond the British Empire, he said “In the diversity of its people the British Empire is already the prototype of an international order … It has been harnessed to certain ideals which are, slowly and imperfectly, coming to fulfilment—the ideals of equal care for the needs of all, of equal opportunity for the capacities of all, of government by and for the governed, of free collaboration between peoples….”
Or  Ojukwu, ward of the Queen of England, Rollysroyce driving Oxonian, took a stand when his people were being massacred. He could have flown to sardinia to play in the sun and waited it out.

This is not the only means by which such values come down, many, many Nigerians have these values and mindset without coming from generational wealth . I'll say a person that can speak their truth without intimidation and cannot be silenced by money or material things (regardless of their financial status) is more old money than a man that won't let us hear word because some of his ancestors/(grandparents) recently attended Cambridge, but as baba said " provide him food , he will eat and then sing for you" 
Our society needs to portray and push this idea that with wealth, luck or blessings MUST COME a level of responsibility and service to leave the world a better place. Our country is in desperate need of more people who can literally afford to be selfless.

Another IPOB terrorist sighted. Just like the slaughtered pigs in Oyo state and the cowards remain adamant.

Guyman01:
The only tribe that Fulanis respect in Nigeria are the Igbos, thats why Late Sardauna always had them in his lips during his days.
Even Fulani herdsmen knows that if they are caught by Igbo youths it will not be the case of Akilu in Oyo state granting Press conferences which infuriated Sunday Igboho to start his agitation, them go tear them to pieces without remose just like IPOB tore Dr Akunyili to pieces.

I began campaigning for @PeterObi before many so called Obidient warriors & generals had a clue of the 2023 Presidential election calendar. I joined a tiny whatsapp group of inspiring Nigerians that contributed the N40 million plus handed to PO to obtain the PDP primary ticket. This group consisted of men and women from every ethnic group who believed in his vision. I can proudly say I invested my personal resources, time and energy is supporting PO up through the last ballot was cast Election Day and I will do it 100x over.

Some overnight supporters who caught the fever while getting excited because a man from their region had the chance of clinching the presidency have decided that they carry a stronger "Obidient DNA" and have weaponized this narrative that being from a different ethnic group means you are a "traitor in waiting". These group of people who make such commentary are a dishonest bunch of Nigerians who need to go through some soul searching and need to reorientate themselves on what it means to be PAN Nigerian.

I do not begrudge individuals who wear the ethnic preference on their sleeves, but as a Yoruba kid from Osun State and a Prince of Ife North who grew up in the South South in a detribalized household were ethnic bigotry was a taboo, I will say many parents across Nigeria have failed this country. If you are from the same region as a political candidate, you should understand that winning elections requires the ability to build bridges across all geopolitical zones while understanding the complexities with the political landscape and how the wounds of past events need to be discarded to have the best amongst us to emerge.

As a movement, I will not sit by and allow the toxic group in our midst define the true reasons why his candidacy for many of us was the most ideal. PO did amazingly well in the Southwest and middle belt when you analyze the demography of voters, please stop painting a broad brush on people who voted differently from you as tribal bigots as the accusation can be reversed. We need to carry PO's message into communities where the results were poor and do the difficult work of winning more hearts and minds.

Opposition politics is not insulting or spewing toxic energy but keeping the government in power in check as active citizens. This will include engaging lawmakers and shaping public opinion where we believe a different approach should be taken with policy direction. If you want to die on the hill of toxic engagements and hoping it will turn the tide, then I will say that you are only making that pathway extremely difficult in the future.

I have learnt a lot about Nigerian politics in the last 12 months and I will continue to contribute positively in selling LP as a vehicle that remains the best political platform to produce inspiring candidates across several offices. While we build for the future, look at your local communities and ask yourself, is every Nigerian regardless of religion or ethnic origin able to do what you desire in a host community different from yours? When we make this a personal objective then we can begin ridding this country of the setbacks that tribal allegiance or ethnic preference has contributed to our under-development.

I will say this with the microphone on max volume to everyone on all sides "quit addressing politics through the lens of ethnicity and religion". It is tiring!
We will agree and disagree on issues once in a while but at the end of the day we are all fighting for a better nation.

I will be taking a long needed break from twitter!
