What's my business if they don't rebuke them ?
Why would anyone be upset when someone else speaks their God given language?.. Isn't that hatred?

That you feel someone (whivh you equate to a whole ethnic nationality) is upset because you are speaking your language shows the depth of your victim mentality.


Everybody is looking for money and how to better their lives, nobody is really interested in whatever you are speaking.

Buckeyemedia1:
Only Lagos State afonjas will support Tinubu.

Can't you see that any thread about Tinubu is always long? He is a most formidable aspirant.

OgunkeelAllMod:
Your life no dey useful to Nigerian.. Anywhere -belle-face useless yo-robber moosleem polithiefcian. Treacherous as a snake


President of Lagos State

Eeeyah, see what frustration has caused you now?

Cokahot:
Once tinubu is president,don't forget lawlessness will be x10, SARS will be back and more brutal,agberos would be given top political posts, they will have level. There will be abuse of bullion vans nationwide tripple corruption in govt sector,police will kill more and go away with it,vote for tinubu and be killed. Christ is coming soon. From frying pan to fire. Travel abroad now o. Ok

How do you know who is going to win the presidential election?

Timnico:
So southwest doesn't have any other thing to offer apart from tinubu and the north knows his heath is fragile and will support him so that the will come back to power after 6 months of swearing in

The S/West is supporting Atiku

olajohnson542:
And only God has decided that you will never be the president of Nigeria come 2023..

Well done sir, the Personal Assistant (P.A) to God on Tinubu's destiny.

suffering:
Someone who had a hip or knee replacement won’t think this far. It means he truly went for something else outside our shores.

If some nurses shook your bumbum with ordinary needles twice daily for a week, you will know that there is God and pray for good health.

Olayetan:
This man,


I know he has good vision for the nation, only that, he may agberonise the whole nation if he becomes the president.


One thing is Certain, the nation economy will improve, business will strive, investors will be welcomed into the nation and many opportunities will be created but, more tax will be imposed on citizens, he will create more organizations to drain citizens off their earnings, he will create touts in all part of the nation as a strategy to become the godfather of the presidential seat and many more...

Then vote for Atiku, he will turn Nigeria to Dubai

CHANNELStv2020:
A man that has Lagos under his total control for more than 25 Years,n Lagos is one of the dirtiest city in the world,the same man want to become president of Nigeria for 8 years? What he couldn't do in Lagos for more than 30 years,what makes u think he can within four years? The same sai baba people are coming out,But Remember we warned u about buhari,we are warning u now about Tinubu

The topic is about God the giver and taker of lives, an attribute which Mr Tinubu acknowledges.

kayusely70:
That clause is a deliberate ploy to ensure that some of them scale through without any hitch.

It is like a double edged sword and infact more negative than positive because,

1) Virtually all the political parties in Nigeria don't have updated register of party members.

2) People move freely and recklessly from one party to another.

In such cases, how do you determine who is eligible to vote as a party member and who is not?

Ojukwubucket:
No be lie o.....
I know how many yoruba I have warned for complaining when I speak Igbo ...no be lie

So how many Yorubas have you warned for complaining when Jukun, Ebira, Urhobo, Ijaw, Chamba, Fulani, Nupe and Kanuri speak their native tongues?


You need to do away with this your pervasive victim mentality.

Baawahala:
Yes to the question you asked...
They complain when you speak your native language with your brothers but they are the ones who speak theirs more even amongst non Yoruba

Like i said earlier, the problem is made up in YOUR mind.


There are hundreds of tribes in Nigeria and you won't hear them saying 'Yorubas feel bad if we speak our languages'

You need to check yourself and do away with your unnecessary victim mentality.

Baawahala:
You are saying another thing...
Yorubas feel bad when they hear Igbos speak Igbo language or Esan speak Esan,but they like speaking Yoruba and prefer you dump yours to speak Yoruba...
Is that not clannish....

Most Yorubas don't understand Esan and Igbo languages, so why will they feel bad about what they don't know?

All over the world, most people tend to like you if you speak their languages!

If you can speak some Hausa to Maisuya or Onion sellers, they will sell more to you for cheaper prices!


This allegation is just a figment of your imagination. Everybody communicate in languages they can understand fluently and your mother tongue is the easiest for you to understand.


By the ways, do Yorubas also feel bad if Jukun, Nupe, Ijaw, Bini, Urhobo, Bolewa or Efik speak their native languages or they only feel bad when it comes to Igbo and Esan?

Joromi1:
Reno is right and wrong. Igbos are tribalistic more to themselves than to others. Which means if an Igbo man becomes president there will be more deaths in southeast than in any other region. These guys have trust issues.

But I still don't trust Fulanis, especially their Muslims. Those ones can even bomb their own family members who are Christians.

But truly, Yoruba remains not only the most accommodating tribe but the best on Mother Earth!

Are Jukun, Ebira, KareKare, Bachama, Zuri and Nupe people tribalistic?

Baawahala:
Actually they are the most clannish
Yoruba that hate to hear other people speak their language but enjoy speaking theirs...
Yoruba in office space is hell of a space with their clannish lifestyle...

Many non-yorubas speak Yoruba language. There are many non-Yoruba musicians who wax albums of popular songs in Yoruba Language/slangs (Onyeka owenu, Sunny Okosun, P-Square, Tuface and so many numerous others) and commercial adverts made with Yoruba language.

Today, Yoruba language is the most widely spoken Nigerian indigenous language in the entertainment industry.

WesternOligarch:
Ok

You went t dig up her crooked past?

loveth360:
With this statement from reno Omokri,We yorubas now believe reno Omokri is greater than Abiola,Tinubu and Awolowo combine





What a mumu button well pressed.

No one is fooled by your 'self proclaimed Tribal identity'

TripleOh7:
Of course a deeply ethnic tribalist will see others as so and read meaning to their every action.

Go back and look at the members of academic staff in that your FUTO and tell us how many other ethnic groups are represented there compared with Universities in the West.

Even though Reno didn't mention any tribe but even you knew who he meant.

Everyone knows that you guys are clannish.

The history of Nigeria from Independence bears witness to this.

It's something you can't deny.

See what Senator Stella Oduah did when she was made the minister of aviation. She fired others and snuck in her clansmen to most of the positions in the ministry.

It was a huge uproar then.

Reno is right. Give Igbo man power and watch how clannish he can be.

The same way Azikiwe put his kinsman as the VC of the University of Ibadan. And so on.

Don't even get me started otherwise we won't leave here.

Imagine, the Catholic archdiocese of Washington DC had a Nigerian priest to cater to Nigerian Catholics and before long, the Igbos who made up majority of them were clamouring that the priest be saying the Mass strictly in Igbo since they were the majority.

Go to Catholic churches in the east and you won't hear them sing the hymns in any other language except in Igbo but in Yorubaland all parishes sing hymns in every language on earth as long as they are taught.

It's a shame really and I don't see it changing simply because you have refuse to acknowledge the problem.

This may be true but misleading.


Churches are not stupid, they know what they are doing.


In the S/west, most churches have some members who are non-Yorubas, so it is necessary to sing church songs in their languages to make them feel at home and have sense of belonging.


In the S/East where most communuties are almost homogenous, they only sing in Igbo languages.


When i was serving in the North, one of my happiest moments were when i attended NCCF fellowship praise and worship services with the ways they sing in many different languages including my mother tongue.

loveth360:
Yorubas the least tribalist yet afonjas are rejoicing,what if una be us that are not tribalist at all.

Most Nigerians are tribalistic to varying degrees because

1) Nigeria hasn't existed together as a nation for long.

2) Nigeria is a poor country with little avaialable funds and economic opportunities such that an average citizen will need to 'know' someone in charge of dispensing the national cake before he/she can have a good share of the cake.

3) People who spend their first 18 years in cosmopolitan areas like Lagos, Abuja, Kano are less likely to attach great importance to tribal sentiments.

obynzo:
Bros no one is bitching. You guy take offence when you are called Ndi Ofe mmanu

Most Yorubas don't even know the meaning of Ofe Mmanu.
The first time I heard it was when my igbo Ex-GF was teasing me by calling me Ofe Mmanu and she later explained the meaning to me.

She used to call me Ofe Mmanu, then later on when my understanding of the Igbo language improved, I added Eze Ndi Ofe Mmanu-1 to the 'title'

BigSarah:
I no blame Reno and fellow Nigerians, na IPOB cause am..
IPOB dey talk too much,and unfortunately IPOB are Igbos...

ONCE again IPOB see yourself

How did Reno's Tweet connected in any ways to the Igbos?

DOTian:
Please you guys should all watch the video! Is this not genocide? Is this not ethnic cleansing? "Anybody you see, kill.." So the main reason Tinubu and the south west recruited Buhari the mujahideen and armed him with the Army, Police and the Airforce is to kill off every christian and destroy peaceful communities in igboland?
Lalasticlala, you keep quiet?

Onye DOT, the topic is about Izombe, Oguta ,Imo State. How does Tinubu comes into the topic?

Kayyy:
Today you have been revealed and ousted as a tribalist , and bootlicker, it's obvious all your anti-corruption threads here on nairaland is means to an end , people like you are plenty on here who have been bought and paid for and doing the biddings of your paymasters, only time will tell and reveal all, coming to national TV and dancing around answers and using stories , parables does not make Peter Obi guilt-free, now I am saying this not as someone who hates him but someone that actually believes and still believes he is amongst the best we have around now my only issue with him is that working with Atiku could dent his image, but for you someone who has spent the last 2-3 years crying about how terrible politicians have destroyed this country and and for all you have revealed on many politicians on here, holding brief for a particular politician based on answers that had no head or tail shows you have an agenda here and you are only a tool of some sets of politicians as well.

I am surprised that you used to take the RuudVanNistroy guy serious.

He is a core Tribalist.

Ngorbungor:
Seriously I doubt if he can manage a local government not to talk of a state, because as a VP he has failed with the handling of the economy, remember he is the chairman of the economy management team

Your opinions alone may not be enough to decide who can be president or not.
At least 30million other Nigerians will make the decision

humility33:
On what ground??.

U think if he really stole frm Anambra the efcc won't have been on his trail by now ?

I live in lagos there is hardly a thing u will tell me about Tinubu and his wife i dont know

How they took people's lands and covert it to theirs in alausa

How he empowered the agberos and touts to operate with impunity


He fail set up a master plan for lagos island at a time when El Rufai was doing same for abuja as fct minister. While he was a governor Donald Duke of cross river was deemed the best performing governor unlike the excellent works fashola did during his reign

The many properties he left undisclosed that jonathan had to trade with his ambition in 2011 give me south west i will clear u off CCT charges and Jonathan did just that

You really need to know that Tinubu is damn corrupt than those men u mentioned even Osibanjo is guilty of diverting NEMA funds

So tell me who is clean amongst them

All these epistles for just a simple question?


Is Peter Obi more corrupt than Atiku?


You declared that Peter Obi is less corrupt than Tinubu (even when the topic has nothing to do with Tinubu) and have heard and accepted but is he more corrupt than Atiku?

DoktaRen:
Baba, what do you expect? 2023 is knocking. They just wan rubbish the man and the tribe in general. It's really painful Sha.

Don't vouch for any politician sir.



Why bringing tribe into this matter? So Pandora papers that published through allegations against Peter Obi and nine other Nigerians are against the tribe of Peter Obi?

humility33:
He is less corrupt than Tinubu

But he is more corrupt than Atiku?

Gobdddd:
Buhari talking to EFCC boss:

Buhari: have you found anything to indict that boy called Peter?

EFCC boss: Sir, we have checked every records, books and all what not. But we couldn't find anything to indict him and prosecute him.

Buhari: So, what do we do.....you must find something and indict him. I give you 3months or you will be fired.

EFCC boss: Ok sir. ......but what if we accuse him of being that Peter that denied Christ?�

Buhari: Fantastic!

Pandora papers is an international organization.

The publications has nothing to do with EFCC.

Ericnrm:
Honestly I wonder how anyone could look at the state of the country and think Tinubu would be able to save this sinking ship called Nigeria. We need young, innovative and creative minds that are accountable, reliable and work well with a team.

How exactly does this topic involve voting for Tinubu or not? What if Tinubu dies today?

BKayy:
I won't insult or blame you because you are putting the horse before the rope.

Was Nigeria existing then?
Do we actually know each other to call ourselves ethnic group of a country or a full independent Nation?

Where did I talk about Nigeria in my post?

The existence of Nigeria is NOT a prerequisite for the emergence of ethnic groups. However ethnic identities in this country became an important identitiy after the advent of British Colonialism and became permanent Identities after Independence in 1960 because it became a plateform

Of course each community/village/Kingdom/Empire knew their neighbours well.

BKayy:
You see why I said that you are the same with the guy.
Please explain to us why there are communities with - Igbo attached to it at the four corners of Igboland.

Igbo-Akiri towards the border with Ẹdo people
Igbo ịdu towards the border with Ekoi
Odenigbo towards border with Idoma
Ụmụ Igbo towards the border with Ogoni
Then Amaigbo at the center of Igboland.

You see, unlike you people ancient Igbo people are philosophers and knew that a day like this will come thats why they did all these.
Unlike you people, they
-Developed their calendar system
-Direct Republican system (most advanced)
-Written constitution
-Counting
-Writing
-Metal smiting
Etc

Pay Attention here "Of all the black groups, the white avoided writing much about Igbo people because there they met what disapproves with their belief of black people. They saw advanced systems most notably the direct Republic which supercedes that of Athens"

The word 'Igbo' had existed long before the advent of colonialism to describe a people (around the River Niger) but not as a Nation or ethnic group as we now classify peoples in this country.

Classifications based on ethnic groups is a creation of the British Colonial Masters.

Ogbuefi2020:
You are the ones that need to travel more, demographia has consistently ranked onitsha urban area as second to Lagos for many years now

Second to Lagos in terms of what? Is it the town of Lagos Island ,Lagos Metropolis or Lagos State as a whole?
