Look at u that's known as the Lord of tribalism is here typing nonsense... its certain that some NL members should be in mental homes

How am a lord of tribalism? Post any topic where I write against tribes.

nabiz:
keep consoling yourself. I am also in enugu now at centenary city. An average igbo man is laughing at this present Nigeria condition. Not that it is not affecting the but not the way it will affect other people. If this get much in the east you see individual distributing food to the lesser privileged while your richest men in Africa will be flying around the world

Your understanding of the economy is shallow.

If Chinedu, Nnamdi and Okechukwu ,who are traders selling electronics, clothes and plastic tanks increase the prices of their goods to adjust, then the will go to buy from other people selling meat, rice, granites, medications and even 'school fees and transport fares', all of which have also increased.


In all of these, it is people with fixed incomes like salary earners that will be worse hit followed by people producing or dealing in non-essential commodities e.g Hair dressers selling Brazilian and Malaysian hair, traders /importers of wines ,electronics etc.

The purchasing powers of the people to buy imported items have reduced due to the exchange rates. However, producers of exported items like Cocoa, Kolanuts, Cashew nuts and now food items are making a lot of money.

100kg of Cocoa bean is now being sold around #700,000.
A trailer load of corn cost about #18 million

oluztx:
OP I know you are yorubaa. Make out time and visit Air Peace offices and airline crew, you know that over 50% of his staff are Yorubaa. The second in command to Onyeama or Chief Operating Officer of Air Peace is a Yorubaa man. I am saying all these for you to understand Yorubaa benefits more from Air Peace than other Nigerians not to shoot yourself in foot with your tribalism. Onyeama has right to voice out incompetence in Tinubuu 's appointees.

Everything about you people is tribe, tribe, tribe! Why introducing tribalism to this topic? So no discussion can be made about Air Peace and Allen Onyeama without his tribes men/women play the tribal victim card ?

Bishop Oyedepo is a fantastic manager of men and resources , however no man canchange the economy the ways most of you assume.

Nigeria's economy can change if we work on and with several leaders at varying levels of authorities effecting in their areas of influence e.g Bishop Oyedepo's Canaan Land is a fairly developed micro-environment within Ogun State which enjoy the following

*Security
*24/7 electricity
*Solid Infrastructure
*Good road network.

If this organisation can be encouraged and partnered with, they can do very well in economic management e.g

*They can be given license to generate more

electricity and supply the whole of Otta city.

*They can be given loans, farm implements to produce 5 tons of rice within a 3 year time frame.


Similar developmental MOU can be signed with Redemption Camp, Shelf Estate, Dangote Refinery and other Private bodies in ways that promote efficient uses of resources and insulated from the negative effects of Politics.

Is this an attempt at translating the Benin Word "Bazuaye"? Or looking for a Yoruba word that rhymes?

Yoruba is not a Thesaurus for the Benin Language.

It shows some levels of similarities.

scholes0:
Yoruba language included the Southeast Yoruba dialects. The main difference between Oyo dialects and their SE counterparts is mostly that the Central and SE dialects are more conservative and have a stronger archaic (original) inventory as compared to Oyo which has a simpler structure and is less conservative.
Edo on the other hand is a different language all together. You can't be putting Edo and SE Yoruba in the same bracket and then comparing both to Oyo as if they were the same thing.

You can compare many things simultaneously.

Both Yoruba and Edo ,though are different belong to the same KWA language family.

As you move away from Bini towards Akure, Ilesha, Ife, Gbogan, Iwo to Ejigbo to Oyo, you will notice that the dialects become more different from Bini and closer to Yoruba Ajumolo.

The real Lagosians will get Lagos back soon.

Let's look towards Funsho Doherty... A real omo eko

But Funsho Doharty's ancestry is from Ogun State.

Tochi360:
to se Nigeria na serious minded Country,by now all man for dey streets dey protest for the evil APC to be proscribed or banished
See what this bastard fifth columnist have done to the Nigerian system since 2015 na
But You will see a poverty striken nigga who can't afford 3 square meal saying Yes to same Apc that is programed to make him and his generation poorer .
The kind juju wey Apc use for una no from this World at all.

Olumide Akpata, is LP candidate and has nothing to do with APC.

scholes0:
Do you know there is a very popular linguistic theory that the Northern Edoid languages are actually the ones closer to proto Edo than Benin (Edo language) and not the other way round? They are actually the more conservative Edoid languages compared to Benin. Some Ora dialects like that of Ozalla are closer to Esan than Esan is to Benin.

I also believe this too.

As Bini became an Empire, it got exposed to and incorporated elements of other dialects, from Yoruba in the West to Igbo in the East and European languages in the South.

scholes0:
How can his Obazuaye, Ize and Obasohan side which is maternal be more important than his Erha (Ogbebor)º side though?
If some Edo people call him a Yoruba person , they wouldn't be completely wrong.

On the meaning of certain Benin chieftaincies/aristocratic terms and titles i.e (Obazuaye, Ologbosere, Osodi, Esogban etc) being originally Yoruba etymologically, trust me, I know what I am talking about, but even if we argue til tomorrow, u no go gree, lol, but its okay. Let's just keep it at that.

All these are not necessary sir.

Both Bini and Yoruba are related and spoke variants of the same Language in the distant past.

All Languages evolve and some dialects eventually transform into different languages if they remain isolated for too long or encounter and mix with other languages languages.

The emergence of the Oyo Empire (which encountered and mixed with many different peoples) made the Yoruba language to evolve into somewhat, different language from Edo and Southeast Yoruba dialects spoken between Ile-Ife to Ondo/Ekiti States

Stephen0mozzy:
Obasohan - The Oba is greater than Fear. kinnda like John Wick level of prestige


Bazuaye na old Benin word, e pass me.
Ize-Iyamu sounds like a hyphenation of two names.

Bazuaye (Bini) = Bajulaye/ Bajulaiye (Yor)

Oba= King
Aye/Aiye= Life/World.

naija4life247:
NO.

Fat Pig Emmanuel Iwuanyawun is rich from illegal business. The idiot is also a useless cursed tribalist. A very useless vagabond.

He isn't really tribalist.

MEGAWATCH:
Hmmmmm!

From this statement, it means many POOR NIGERIANs full NAIRALAND.

Stop coming here to claim your audio millionaires, because millionaires don't have time for petty things.

To be very rich and stay rich, you need the support, cooperation and connection with so many people across tribes and religion.


Supporting Presidential from any tribes is about interests.
The political elites don't support a candidate contesting on the platform of a weak political party and is very likely,not be able to win.

yewit37486:
You are all free to treat your family members in such a disloyal manner. Kindly stop disturbing me, I maintain my stand.

So,Funke Akeredolu-Aruna should have joined Betty and be fighting Gov Lucky Aiyetatiwa to please Betty?

Sunday2021:
The truth is that God never anointed Tinubu to be president of Nigeria, he force his way using the corrupt system in the country now everybody is crying.

Can a man force his way against God?

Jokerman:
Honestly it's annoying.

A real lagosian cannot go to Oyo, Or Sound state to be a governor,or even house assembly gan sef.

But you will see Oyo, Ogun, Ondo coming to Lagos to be claiming seat... Imagine Desmond Elliott in the house, someone that his state Edo,another tribe cannot even dare...

Indigenes of Lagos should take their Lagos back... Next election I'm supporting Funsho Doherty, a real Lagosian

But Doharty's ancestry is from Ogun State nau

SoNature:
We already have six zones in the country. States should be merged into six zones and religional government will use the resources generated from the region to develop it and pay taxes to the centre.

Everyone will be forced to return to their region to help develop it because looking for public service opportunities outside your region will be hard to get.

Why can't everybody start developing their States right now instead of waiting until when the States will be merged?

SoNature:
How can Akwa Ibom and Delta States be paying N127.8bn and N110.3bn in salaries respectively? What value do those workers bring to the table to warrant earning sums that their states cannot generate? These two states are the highest on the list.

BTW, two-third of Nigerian states cannot pay salaries without federal intervention, yet politicians are talking about state police. First things first. Before state police, restructure Nigeria to allow states or regions control their resources and then pay taxes to the centre. If not, the level of corruption in today's police will be a child's play.

Parts of the work force will be trained to become State Police.

Even now, States can invest and have access to their resources.

datola:
Bello Bodejo president of Miyeti Allah?

Tha name sounds Yoruba

Traditional Fulani Name, Ballo (corrupted by the Hausa people to Bello) mean HELPER and was the nick-name of Sultan Mohammed Bello who served as the Assistant/Helper to his father, Sheik Usman Dan Fodio. His great-grand son, Ahmadu adopted the name and became Ahmadu Bello, the most popular politician in Nigeria in the 1960s.
Bodejo= Title which mean 'Leader of a Fulani Clan (sometimes also called Ardo or Hoorejo)

The Yoruba name, BADEJO = Literary meaning 'Assemble with Crown', is used to refer to Loyaltis/court officiasl of the king, who reign with him.

Jokerman:
So if Peter Obi didn't say something, these ones won't have done anything like this.

Mhen, Nigeria missed Peter Obi as president... It's well

Nothing concern Peter Obi in this matter.
LASG has been in partnership with other States in areas of Agriculture. Ex-Govs Ambode-Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi) partnership led to the productions of LAKE Rice in 2013 Kebbi became unable to supply the rice paddies around 2017.

richidinho:
Obi is a genius, whatever he says is not taken for granted

Sanwolu be like since the president dey slag, make we take Obi's advice sharp sharp

Peter Obi as president, Every Local govt in Nigeria will be empowered to own a large farm, either in your LGA or outside even your state

Keep quite, you exude ignorance about the political system of Nigeria.

All the lands in Nigeria are owned by the States Governments, except the FCT , which is owned by the FG.

Agriculture is largely under the States.

The roles of the FG in Agriculture is limited to Policy formulations (e.g restrictions of foreign agricultural produce) ,standardization and regulations (e.g intoduction of Faro 52-Rice species by Akinwunmi Adeshina during GEJ Administration), counterpact funding (e.g CBN's anchor borrower's programmed), subsidies on Farm implements etc.

The President can't just stroll into Ekiti or Ebonyi to start rice farms or cocoa plantations in Ondo or Edo States.

Each States should invest in Agriculture to provide foods for their peoples, States that can't shoud buy from those States that ca produce foods (as Sanwo-Olu is doing here) or they should reduce their food consumption by implementing 1-0-1 feeding ration formula

Calabar needs to improve her economic prosperity and infrastructure which will make the tourism more attractive and thus more profitable.

yewit37486:
As in, she didn't even waste time. How long ago did the uncle die before she switched sides? Very disloyal being.

Was Lucky Aiyedatiwa,an enemy of her uncle? The answer is no.

It was her uncle who nominated Lucky Aiyedatiwa as his deputy.

After the death of Gov Akeredolu, Lucky Aiyedatiwa chose ,one of his kinsmen as Deputy Governor.

Ategberoson:
Aketi's aides who are not bloodline related resign after his demise and you're seeing his bloodline supporting the same man that was disloyal to him and you expect the wife not to be emotional with that?

Baba dey reason abeg



She lost husband

She lost power

She had a sad record out of Alagbaka house and you expect her not be psychologically disturbed with people she expected much from

The then Deputy Governor,Lucky Aiyedatiwa was neither disloyal nor responsible for the sickness and eventual demise of the late Governor Akeredolu.

The aides of Akeredolu who resigned did so because they are in another political camp to the new Governor ahead of the Nov,2024 Gubernatorial election.

Funke Akeredolu-Aruna has a right to support Lucky Aiyedatiwa or any of the other camp. No offense committed here.

JulianBond007:
she knows what she saw in her in-law that's why she's lamenting. Allow her to vent her anger please. Do you know if the so called niece betrayed her uncle?

How did Funker betrayed her uncle?
It wasn't Lucky's fault that Aketi eventually died. However, they can't be a vacuum in governance and Lucky was sworn-in as the new Governor.

This didn't make him an enemy of the Akeredolu's family.

Funke Akeredolu-Aruna is free to support Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Betty Anyawu-Akeredolu should morn her husband in peace and leave Politics for now.

You don't understand. Can a train run in both narrow and standard gauge railway lines?

May be not the same train but the tracks are inter-connected at certain conversation rail junctions

Zafsy75:
Abba Gida has shown us that he is no different from Ganduje. If care is not taken Murja will make him.loose his goodwill from the people of Kano.
Instead of embarking on Urban Renewal like El Rufai, the clown is emulating Ganduje to build useless flyovers.

Daurawa should resign and never come back, let him govern kano as he want. Kano people are sophisticated electorates that won't hesitate to show thier displeasure during election.

Why did HISBAH arrest Murja?

Why hasn't HISBAH arrested the Bandits ?


From the look of things, Shariah and HISBAH only flex their muscles with the Poor and Powerless.

HISBAH and Shari'ah are very weak and powerless before The Bandits and Political Elites.

O da bi pe gomina do omo yen ni?

Very possible.

mrvitalis:
The problem with Africans we want customers to buy from us based on sentiments

If Nigerian rice are cheaper and better why won't Nigerians buy them

Do you even know what Nigerians look for in a rice? Do you even know what appeals to the Nigerian customers?

The man is correct.
Most of the imported rice we consume in Nigeria were produced many years ago (some are about 10 years) but stored in silos and sold out because they are at the tail end of their nutritional values and most are unfir for consumption in their host countries but sold to poor African countries like Nigeria.
Similar things are true for frozen chicken.

If you cook Nigerian rice and imported rice (and Frozen imported chicken Vs locay raissd chicken) you will easily notice the differences in tasts

kikake:
Tinubu/Buhari alliance legacy:

Standard rail gauge in SW and NW regions.
Narrow gauge in SE and NE regions. In other words, train from East can never go West in the same Nigeria. Does this operate in any other country in the world?
Welcome to many Nigerias in one Nigeria.

It can.


There is a link, from Jos to the Western Rail network

Gustavowhite:
then who are the people opening threads up and down about this issue?

So, only Yorubas are in Nigeria?
