Yeah the guy is doing a very good job for them in Kaduna..killing the natives and renaming and occupying their villages with fulani people...They want him to help them extend the same gesture to other part of the country asap to meet their target...

If it's going to be El-Rufai/APC Vs Atiku/PDP in 2023, the APC may be defeated because Atiku will share Northern votes with him and he is more acceptable to Christians than El-Rufai.

In the S/West, many people will feel that the APC betray the Region, hence will vote against the party. The SS/SE is already a PDP stronghold.

Abdul05:
Tinubu 's talk has now become a baffling problem to the igbos,and it is because most of them live with the yorubas. They are completely lost. They have no home, no region, and no political leaders . What a shame

Many of them now live in Lagos and are part of the population of Lagos so they are exercise their rights to participate in the Politics of Lagos.

That being said, their attempts to demonize Tinubu who they consider their greatest obstacle to their
dream of changing the political structures of Lagos often with tribal colouration will boomerang.

lucasalves:
Pointing what out to who? Act like you are not living in this same country where definition on paper is actually different from reality on ground.

There are legit NURTW member looking for nothing more than their daily bread and at the same time the leadership has fostered the existence of the "Agberos" sect amongst their ranks.... look up what happened with Governor Makinde and the NURTW then come back here and make informed argument not definition of organizations lifted off Google.

Good morning bro.

You see when will look at things from a superficial level, we may not fully grasp what is happening.

1) Who are the people will call Agberos?
From where do they derive the powers to call passengers for commercial vehicles and demand a cut from the fares collected sometimes in very rough ways?

2) Do these 'Agberos' just pocket all the money collected from the drivers or they have some people they give returns to?

3) How do people become 'Agberos'? Can any youth just wake up one morning, stroll to a motorpark and start demanding a cut from the Transport fares?



Let's try to answer these questions (as civil as possible). It will help us to understand how certain members of the union operate.

lucasalves:
What does that even mean? Zee world?? And this is the best comeback you got with all your education Wow this country na wa ooo...

You see the NURTW is a union of Drivers, Conductors, Owners of commercial vehicles and an amorphous group that consist of 'retired' drivers and unemployed drivers, non-technical staff like 'secretaries, Union task force members (Olopa Egbe) often labeled as 'Agbero' when they go outside their mandates etc.

The union collect levies to pay taxes to LGAs where they operate, maintain motor parks, pay workers of the union, remit money to State/National Secretariats, pay the Excos and some money are used to pay certain 'retired' officials and drivers/members who are unable to find jobs at a point in time (an informal form of insurance).
Certain amount of the money are also used to 'settle Police against harrassment of members'.

The more educated, exposed and well connected members of the NURTW formed the NURTW Cooperative which give loans to members and they borrowed money from banks to buy BRT buses, having gotten concession from LASG to exclusively ply certain routes.


On face values, these are most of the functions of the union. However in practice, the system is often abused and especially in the South where it is often frought with violence such that only those with maximum capacity for violence & disorderliness get these benefits.

lucasalves:

On a more serious note, I am not interested in exchanging insults with you or anyone (it's very unlike me).

However, I only wanted to point out the error in your assumption (a very common one here on Nairaland) about the NURTW.


Many people here don't know anything about the union and wrongly assume it's just an association of thugs.

Try to read about them and you will appreciate their contributions to the economy.
Thanks and sorry for the 'banters' earlier.

Rugaria:
Something has to be done! The taunts from the ikwerres and some section of the ijaws since the end of the war has to stop! It must stop! Part of the reason charlatans like Wike always jump on every opportunity to insult igbos is because the nonviolent nature of the igbos assures them that there will be no repercussions! We must learn to meet evil with evil! I have said it here many times that if the igbo man continues to turn the other cheek as we are always told is the best, these minions will slap us dumb! If you want to survive in the land of the evil people, be ready to meet evil with evil... That's reality! It's the same reason I don't support ipob.. The day they are ready to meet fire with fire, then I'm game. Nigeria is ceaselessly and desperately prosecuting policies to annihilate igbos! Igbos must respond in a very emphatic way! Make them know you have had enough! Let them know it can't continue! Use Wike as an example and make him pay for the genocide at obigbo!

How can you make Wike pay?

holocron:
True talk. Rivers state annexed obigbo because of their oil but refused to develop it. That town has remained undeveloped and stagnant since ever joining Rivers state. What portion does Obigbo have in Rivers State despite allowing its name to be changed to Oyigbo - a foolish nomenclature that has no meaning in any known language.

You claimed that atrocities committed by rioting mob was done by IPOB, with what evidence? Was the mob waving Biafran or IPOB flag in the attacks? Has IPOB taken responsibility for the attacks as done by terrorist groups like boko haram, Miyetti Allah etc? Even if IPOB members were part of the rioters, did they riot or commit atrocities in the name of IPOB or in their personal capacity? Have you ever heard or seen any IPOB official give orders to IPOB adherents for atrocities to be committed during IPOB demonstrations? IPOB protests and demonstrations has always been peaceful marches. If it was IPOB at Obigbo, who then was responsible for the atrocities and police attacks at Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo etc etc. Was it also IPOB looting warehouses all over Nigeria?

The liquidation of Obigbo is unjustified and may be masking other sinister motives.

I strongly condemn the unnecessary loss of lives and the wantom destruction of properties in Oyigbo.



However, it seems odd and unthinkable that Gov Wike, a darling of the Igbo people and the S/South people could do things against Ndigbo like you guys are accussing him of.

amaridigital:
These people have actually cried us an ocean on the lekki incident and it appears they won't stop anytime soon. When will they start crying us a river on the Oyigbo, Rivers State incident? Are the lives of Lagosians superior to those from Rivers?

They won't talk about the killings in Oyigbo because there is no way link Tinubu and/APC to it.

lucasalves:
wait wasn't I the one mocking you for thinking Dangote trucks belong under trade unions? go school you no go hear now you are opening your smelly yanch to the world.... calling NUPENG, NUPEG, olodo... you better head to instagram to beg your master for your daily bread... Idiot wey no sabi read, you said BRT strike was going to cripple the economy, I pointed out Dangote trucks were more important to the economy and you've been talking in the nonsense ever since. Calling Ibadan and Abeokuta far away places (yeye dey smell) we move jaare.

There's no point arguing with poorly educated and mannerless kids like you.



















Your stupidity is like Zee World. . . It's extraordinary everyday.

Nchenches:
But gov Sanwolu said only one person died, later he said 2 died

Some Politicians in Nigeria are agberos.

When the shooting occurred, he said based on their investigations there was no fatalities but two people were on critical care at the hospital.
Most of the victims were even discharged the following day.

The two people who later died one after the other died in the hospital. One was from a blunt trauma to the head (probably due to a stampede).

banio:

When their corpses are missing, how do You raise alarm ?.
Fighting government is not an easy task.

Can we know the

1) The exact number , not almost this or about this number. Humans can't be approximated.


2) Identities of the people killed e.g Their names, Gender, Dates of birth, Occupation, address and their families.

We all knew that a certain person named Jimoh Ishaq was killed in Ogbomosho. We knew his age, gender and place of residence.
The family came out and even the Governor compensated his family.

lucasalves:
NUPENG you mean? (see when I said these fools are illiterates). Lagos to Abeokuta and Ibadan is far? someone pls show this fool a map or take him out of his village.

You are the fool here who doesn't know that Dangote Trucks are different from a National Trade Union group.

Strikes by Tankers Drivers at Apapa Depot don't usually last more than 24-48 hrs but the effects can can cause 'artificial petrol scarcity' all over Lagos and sometimes even to neighbouring States.

lucasalves:
How does going on strike help their cause. One would have thought if Dangote's trailers stop moving that will affect (ohh wait most of you probably think they are under NURTW smh). Sorry but stick to laundering the image of your boss when it comes to economic issues don't even bother cos you clearly don't know anything about it.

How does Strike Actions help Trade Unions?
Are you new in this country?

If only you are smart enough, you would have known that Dangote Trucks which are the Haulage sub-division of a company are different from a Trade Union like the NURTW which is an affiliate of NLC.

When NUPEG (which include Petrol Tanker Drivers) goes on strike, sometimes for something as trivial as a soldier beating up a Petrol Tanker driver at Apapa,Lagos you will start seeing the effects with petrol scarcity in Lagos and in far away places like Abeokuta or even Ibadan.

lucasalves:
A man controlling hoodlums is well affecting the peace and stability of the state.... so you and your long epistle pack for one corner... this is the last time I'm even responding to you, not everyone is as jobless and "aimless" as you are. You live in one stupid village and think you know what goes on in Lagos State? Do you know how he rallied boys in the last election? I see you are desperately trying to divert attention to the government (which infact is a stupid argument) are those government officials not Nigerians? did they descend from heaven to rule Nigeria? look inward and see that culture of corruption in you, for instance you are here writing epistle on behalf of a man who doesn't give a crap about you all because of some instagram giveaway the man shares hungry fools like you on social media.

P.s, I am happy the kid is successful, I'm also a proud graduate and no matter how bad the country gets I'm still creating jobs for younger graduates. So I don't compare myself with anyone based on their background, achievement, education, I stay in my lane that inferiority complex is for fools like you... After all there are tons of people who didn't attend top universities who will buy your whole family a million times over.

Any evidence to support your assertion that MC Oluomo is responsible for hoodlums in Lagos State?

There are hoodlums everywhere, even in London.

So who is responsible for the hoodlums in Anambra, Enugu and Rivers States?


Many of you guys propagate what you don't know about the NURTW.

If the NURTW members should decide to embark on a week strike, the economy will be paralyzed.

I hope you know that the NURTW cooperative own many of the BRT buses in Lagos State?

SuperBold:
We already know them, we always know where to get them

Visa ban for Mc oluomo children vs don't visit sin of father on children in James Nwafor
Tinubu should be killed vs Peter Obi is honest
Buhari is corrupt vs Atiku is a Saint
David (PDP) is a youth vs Desmond should be dragged
Lekki fake massacre vs oyigbo real massacre
Good justice for lekki shooting victims vs denial of ezu river dead bodies

I can go on and on, the more they try the more other neutral tribe hate them.

Most Nigerians have double standards especially if Buhari or Tinubu is involved.

Whiteangel1234:
I spit on Afonja Moslem .. buhari is far better than this Hooligan if Yoruba want to stand a chance bring out your best 11 in 2023 .. Tinubu will not go anyway nah stone I will use on him if I see him around Onitsha

And if the security forces decides to punish you for this your foolish act, you will be shouting 'Genocide' and screaming 'ICC, Donald Trump, Israel and America'

flyingpig:
you keep quiet

Why would Tinubu send armed men to kill unarmed protesters at Lekki.

That was a reprisal attack, lucky it was not a life for life

No it's no more Buhari, Burutai , Sanwo-Olu but not Mr Tinubu that sent the Army for the hoax Massacre?

Harkonnen:
You're just an asslicking fool

Run along and lick Oluomo's ass a bit more, I don't need this back and forth with you

Cōcksucker

This is the hallmark of morons like you, insults &abuses.

Here is a picture of MC Oluomo & his wife being hosted by Gov Briam Kemp of Georgia at the occasion of their son being the best graduating student in his class.

Work hard &smart enough to stand before kings instead of insulting and abusing people who are far better than you on Nairaland.

Harkonnen:
Aren't you the one spreading misinformation by cleverly twisting the facts.

Of course he had to have been a member before Tinubu could use him, and the relationship between politicians, elections and the transport union is open for everyone to observe.

Once anyone points out the truth in this society he is automatically labelled as a hater lol. I don't argue with electronic dogs like you anymore, it's a pointless exercise

Improperly brought up kid you is calling someone far more educated ,exposed and enlightened than him names.

Sometimes we need to reply you and put you where you squarely belong.

You know very little or nothing about MC Oluomo but you are instisting that he is a Thug imposed on the people by Tinubu who you claim was responsible for the loss of lives & destructions of properties unleashed by the prostesters on Lagos without providing any logical evidence and when I corrected you ,you started foaming in the mouth insulting me.

Harkonnen:
The elevation of thugs and never-do-wells like this guy to the pinnacle of social prominence is the most salient feature of Bola Tinubu's politics.

It's the reason why Lagos suffered so much during the unrest, now the same people are asking the FG for N1 trillion to fix a self-inflicted injury. Imagine someone like this guy, a garbage collector turned political assassin, now feted as a top member of society....

Stop misinforming the public with your hate induced fake news.

MC Oluomo was a member long before Tinubu became a Governor in 1999 and later a leader of union of transporters in Lagos.
You and many folks like you who spread fake news may even be commuting to your house on acommercial buses owned by this same MC Oluomo.

1) Tinubu is not a member of the union.

2) There are NURTW chapters in every State.

IJOBA2:
INSPECT BURNT POLICE STATION AS GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE ABI POLICE COMMISSIONER

Even you too can inspect the burnt public infrastructure in your State in positions as 'Chairman and the Exco' of Youth Coalition Against Thuggery or Lagos State Association of Printers.

Okoroawusa:
..."Social Media, yes, though good, has its negative impact, let me first thank you for condemning the wanton killings and the carniage that happened at Lekki. When I Went through the comments I could not believe it Mr Speaker, the curses, the abuses from children, and I ask myself, is this Nigeria? What is going on? Children cursing? People having the effrontery to enter the Oba's Palace, hold the staff of office, culture is gone."...







Before you comment on this thread read the above which is an excerpt from his speech. He never called #Endsars protesters children.

PDP social media war lords like @von_Bismarck, @NekkaSmith &@Ayemojubar often deliberately misquote politicians especially of the APC to demarket them.
They are the ones that started all these.

BetBuilder365:
i thought it was fake news until i bought one tiny onion for N50
pls whats the alternative to onion, seems this end sars protest have not enabled transport of onions

Not only Transport of Onions, everything has increased in prices due to the #EndSARS Protests. There are negative economic effects of the protests.

fk001:
Guy onion needs cold weather like that of harmattarn or with very low humidity.

Southern Nigeria have very high humidity which is not favourable for onion.

Onion is cultivated in and around Iree Town, Osun State.

cktheluckyman:
In the end if you fail all this grammar you wrote here will not matter.

Tinubu nor any other Southerner cannot be president in 2023.That is as simple as ABC

At least GEJ had the SE support in addition to his SS region, Tinubu on the other hand has little or no support in the SS/SE

You can't be too sure.

Never say never in politics.


A Southern candidate has the greatest chance to succeed Buhari in 2023.

Even in the North , many people who still nurse Presidential ambition will support a southern candidate in 2023

cktheluckyman:
Tinubu helped him win the APC primary in 2015,so also did Amaechi.He didn't contribute so much in the main election.In 2019 Buhari will still have won even if his votes in the SW was deducted.

The Almajiris in the North do not know any zoning arrangements.They will vote a Kwankwaso,Atiku or Tambuwal in PDP over Tinubu.
To make matters worse for Tinubu he is highly unpopular in the other southern regions of the SE/SS

Let that be Tinubu's worries and not yours.

The fact that you and your likes are not discussing other candidates prospects but Tinubu's chances every now and then shows that he is a very formidable candidate.

People don't spend time and energy analysing the chances of a nonentity.

GreyLaw:
I respect Tinubu for how long he has stayed in the game. However, APC may not give him that ticket. If they do they'll simply lose that election. PDP will give theirs to the core north if APC picks a southerner. Without rigging I don't see Tinubu defeating an Atiku or a Kwankwaso.

The most beautiful thing would be for the two parties to select new faces. But in Nigeria the ruling class want to hold on to their loot.

In all, I think 2023 won't go as planned for the known names in Nigeria. There seems to be a turn of events in the offing. Time will tell.

What of the candidate of the YOUTH DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

The Youths have said in unmistakable terms that 2023 is for them.

Fahdiga:
The deep state at work. there are many cover ups. people are afraid to speak up because they might be hunted and killed

We know Jimoh Ishaq who was killed in Ogbomosho.
Governor Seyi Makinde even paid a compensation of #1Million to his family (very embrassing). No body killed the family or threatened them.

Efop:
So who did queen Elizabeth sent a condolence msg to on tweeter in 2017

.I am sorry to say this; if you truly believe Queen Elizabeth sent a condolence message on Tweeter to Nigeria in 2017 about the death of the President, then it shows that you aren't well informed.

[quote author=Dede1 post=95416760][/quote]Okay.

You just corroborated by postulation that it's difficult to draw a universally acceptable boundaries for ethic groups especially in the Tropical Rainforests where many ethnic groups live in close proximity.


Any attempts by the Igbos to lay claims to territories you just included (Kogi, Benue, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa and Edo States) may cause tribal wars with several other indigenous tribes in those States.
