Nobody would come for his head
This is 2023

Igbos are too special and unique for that

We all saw what happened in Lagos state during the elections...
Even fellow Yorubas were profiled as Igbos and were stopped from voting.. They don't care anybody from Edo downwards is Igbo.

Those tribal bigots in Lagos state and the the North are the people you should be explaining to why you aren't Igbo..

Anybody from Edo is NOT Igbo.

Ethnic identity is self-identity.


No one needs the approval or permission of others to be who they want to be.

gidgiddy:
The funny thing is that if you ask Sunday Oliseh his ethnic group, he may have nothing to say

His surname "Oliseh" is just the dialect used in Abavo to say "Olisah", which is another name for God in Igbo

To each their own, Sunday Oliseh is free to claim Japanese if he likes

There are similarities in the Kwa Language continuum e.g

Orisha/Oosha (Yoruba)= Oosa (Bini)= Oritshe (Itsekiri) = Oliseh (Ika) = Olisa (Igbo)

The languages only appear very different when the shared/similar words are combined with non-shared/dissimilar words.

For instance,

Olisa + Debe = Olisadebe (Igbo)
Oosa + Debe= Osadebe (Ika/Igbo)

Oritsa+ jan fo = Oritshajafo (Itsekiri)
Orisha + jen fo= Orishajenfo (Yoruba)

There are so many mad people on Social Media!

edible?

Is there any bird that is not edible?

blueghost:
You said strange bird yet you even bought it with the intention to eat it. Smh eating strange things

Should the bird be thrown away then? It is better to buy it and eat it than throwing it away sir

Printerscanner:
I know idiots will bring religion and tribe into it. Una go cry tire.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is Tinubu's boy. All the cases stops at the table of the Chief Justice

You obviously don't know how the Judiciary works.

All cases do NOT stop at the table of the CJN.

The Supreme Court PANEL of Justices consisting of 5-7 Justices of the Supreme Court (from different backgrounds) hear and judge a case and any one of them can agree or disagree with their views.
This is why there can be split Judgement and majority wins.

Mitchy49:
Wow..
God in Heaven, you know that majority of Nigerians want a Better Nigeria through His Excellency Sir PETER GREGORY OBI. God pls for the sake of us who are less privileged and disadvantaged without a helper or any connections to get good jobs, pls grant these lawyers the wherewithal and legal sagacity to win this case for us. Pls.
Put the right words in their Mouths o Lord. God, we cannot afford to witness another calamitous administration in Tinubu again. Pls save our future and that of our unborn children God.

Did you bother to read Peter Obi's petition at all?


His petitions is not saying that he won the election, rather he is talking about disqualifying Tinubu, cancelling the votes scored by the APC and he should be declared the winner based on the remaining results or in the alternative, INEC should conduct another election in which Tinubu won't participate.


These prayers will be thrown out for lack of merits in Law.

doggedfighter:
They're being mischievous.



And they know it.

But in all, I trust Peter Obi's judgement in handling acts of mischief and rascality.



Wickedness will never win nor have the last laugh !!

Did you bother to read Peter Obi's petition at all?

Obi is not claiming the election, rather he is saying that Tinubu should be disqualified and APC's votes cancelled while he should be declared winner based on the remaining results or INEC should conduct another election in which Tinubu won't participate.


Peter Obi has no mandate to claim anywhere.

Tifnubudrugs:
Obi has very little to gain now by entering into Aso rock, but everything to lose. Contesting the election alone has made him the most respected Nigerian and one of the greatest that ever lived. He will likely win the Nobel peace prize in his lifetime or posthumously. He is now known all over Africa and beyond as a rare politician who is absolutely clean!

However, to rule Nigeria in its current state of total decay will destroy Obi's impeccable reputation. He is a smart man and knows that already. Since he isn't coming to enrich himself or elevate his family, but to salvage a badly ruined country. Albeit with no guarantee he will succeed. So, what's the need risking his untainted reputation?

As for Tinubu, he has lost. There is very little chance of him coming out of this a better man. He already has his fate sealed and a place in the hall of shame, posterity wise.

Unfortunately for Nigerians, they're going to suffer the physical and psychological consequences. It's now official that Nigerians are global villains to be treated with utter scorn and derision. We all saw how poor Ethiopia allowed other nationals fleeing Sudan to enter their country only to shut the door on Nigerians. Egypt followed days later and immediately after, Benin republic (one of the world's poorest country) deported Nigerians.

You think it's all mere coincidence? Nah, Nigerians have been blacklisted globally and this is just the beginning!

When screaming headlines reverberated across the world that a drug baron has won the presidential election in Nigeria, what impression did you think it made?

Dey play!

As for those that have dual passports, kudos to you. But for others, brace up, for it's going to be a long journey down the road of opprobrium.

Eeyah, see what frustration has caused this one!

bassdow:
...but the OP's question makes sense irrespective of wether He/She has got relation(s) in such war torn country.

It's like in relationship, where some only want to enjoy it's PROs, but not it's CONs.

Suppose your children move down the street to play in the house of their friends and after sometimes, you heard that that house is burning.

Will you quickly rush there to get your children out or you will prefer that they stay inside the burning building until you are able to evacuate everybody in that burning house?

MasterJayJay:
Any functioning railway in southeast currently?

There are no functional Railways in 85% of Nigeria.

TruthsFM:
It’s on dailies newspapers , you can start your own investigation from there. USA has banned them from entering. Justice kekere Ekun and others are part of them too. Read the news well

This is a very wrong information.

The case of Hope Uzodimma raised a very fundamental question: does INEC have the right to cancel the results from a polling unit already declared and signed by the Presiding Officers at such polling units?

The Supreme Court rightly ruled that INEC doesn't have that power.

The then Gov of Imo State,Emeka Ihedioha under rated Uzodimma's petition , otherwise he should have filed a cross-petition that Hope Uzodimma didn't score legitimate votes.

In conclusion:; the Supreme Court did the right thing by ruling that INEC lacked the powers to cancel the results from the over 300 polling units.

Racoon:
Another corruption! What were you thinking when the US, China and others sent their country planes to evacuate their nationals? Now you are hiring buses to take out your citizens @ inflated costs.

Stop saying what you don't know.
You us the pictures of US and China sending planes to evacuate their citizens inside Sudan.

The Airport in Khartoum has been bombed and badly damaged, so where will the planes land?

001Lagos:
Why is he now dressing like he's most holier than every other person

Aregbesola was obviously a street boy back in the days

The picture wasn't 1999 but about 5-7 years earlier.

By 1999, Aregbesola was a bit older and looked more mature than this.

He has earlier ran for House of Reps primaries under the defunct SDP in 1991 but lost.

Berrityga:
Hookup gone wrong

Why are you people so heartless!

Is this all you could say?


Even if she was doing hook-up, was that enough reason to end her life like this?


Hook-up ladies are some people's daughters, sisters, wives or mothers. . .what we need is to reform them,not kill them

HisSexcellency:
The over concentration of political and social commentators and analysts on the petition at the tribunal of Peter Obi who came third in the presidential elections, while leaving Atiku of the pdp who came second and is also challenging that same election at the tribunal is just strange.

On a normal Atiku is meant to get all the attention as he is perceived more threat to the apc victory having come second according to the results declared by inec.

Obi's supporters are the most vocal set of people in Nigeria...the vocal minority.

PoliticalUpdate:
All these evidences coming out - including Tinubu being sick was prophesied by this prophet on the 4th of March, and from the things he said - 13th of May, will be a show of shame especially for INEC. According to him, INEC was dumbfounded on the many allegations against them including bribery in millions of dollars. He also spoke about a vision he had were a particular result sheet with so much discrepancies implicated INEC. This was in the month of March, and then in April the Rivers State result sheet came out with so much discrepancy. According to him, the election was decided based result sheets from INEC, and bribery not the popularly acclaimed drug case.

The election was conducted in over 170,000 polling units.

If the Tribunal was shown EVIDENCE of infractions in certain POLLING UNITS, they will annul the results in such units but not the whole 170,000 units.

Female nurses for female patients.

Male nurses for male patients.

Where did you see this wrong notion? How will a female nurse know about health problems of males if she is not exposed to male patients?

DaddyJapan:
Here is an excerpt from Punch newspaper (March 23rd).



Whether or not Mr Maduekwe had an underlining medical condition, the trigger for his untimely death was the home-invasion he experienced.

So it was no longer that APC thugs hit him at the back of his head as alleged by Chinedu alias Gbarebo?

Chimok:
This unity I believe is causing us more harm than good.
Just like some of the people that voted for Tinubu on tribal considerations and sentiments, would any of these people who owns a company employ a Tinubu to manage the company. Our people says 'ewu ora n'enye nli n'anwu n'aguu', the goat fed by the public dies of hunger'.

Yorubas voted for APC,PDP and LP.


Igbos voted mainly for LP.



You still won't allow the Yorubas rest because your kinsman didn't win?

By the way, Tinubu has better track records of achievements than his co-contestants

Father0fjesus:
war will be inevitable is things dont change

The war will be inevitable in your State/Geo-political zone.


You obviously didn't learn any lesson from the last Civil War in Nigeria.

Lemos14:
Why abuja? He should go to the slum called lagos that he built.

You go wail tire o

You wrote out of ignorance.


Most Nigerian States are NOT performing to their capacities because of the erroneous mindsets that State Governors have little roles to play in the economic development of the country.

Some States that derive substantial funds from crude oil may seem relatively developing.

However, over all S/West States are developing. They are not tapping the advantages of proximity to Lagos but this is not due to the fault of Lagos

You didn't talk about ASUU strikes in this write-up.

If after paying N500,000 tuition fees in LAUTECH or ABSU or UNABUJA and the school decided to go on strike for 6 months, will people still want to go to such schools?



What then will be the differences between Public and Private Universities if both charge the same range of Tuition fees (there are some private Universities that charge far lesser at about #300K per annum)?

1) INEC did the right thing, it has no power to disqualify candidates.

2) Your allegations against Tinubu have no basis in law.

* He was never arrested,tried and convicted for anything.

Even if a man was truly convicted for a crime, the punishment for the crime is NOT for life unless if it is a life sentence.

The punishment expires after he serves his prison sentence.

The law recognize that people do change for better after being punished e.g many people renew their Driver's license promptly after they once suffer arrest & fine by FRSC, some people become very law abiding after they spend some days in Police custody for infractions with the law.


In our laws,the constitution stipulate another waiting period of TEN YEARS (so acertain that he has truly changed).

3) INEC work round the clock and do announce results once they are ready.

This is obviously another fake news

Nigerfine3:
The yorubas was once leading academically, the others have long overtaken them.Go check the last WAEC performance, the best of yoruba land was Lagos state at number 23!
The north central grabbed a spot before them, all SE had picked their spot! WOW
The yorubas are not advising themselves but rather making noise building more agberos. I am igbo of middle age, thanks to our children and youth who has used internet to change the narrative which yoruba media had used against the igbos. Let them continue advising and producing agbero while others have gone past them. Igbos would double up in all front. Know it that whenever South South wakes up completely they would get a well functional sea port that would birth a greater South South South East.

Yorubas are leading in

*Most major profession, including Medical Profession (Check the register of Medical & Dental Council of Nigeria), Accounting (check ICAN) etc

* Journalism: both print & electronic

* Poultry and Poultry products
* Cocoa production
* Timber and wood production
* Pentecostal Christian Churches

* Diaspora: check the population of Nigerians studying in UK,US, Canada, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Sweden,South Africa etc


And many other areas of Human Endeavours.

Story story..........

Buhari banned people in government from get diplomatic passports from foreign countries since 2015. How did BAT get his in 2019? Besides, a close look at the so called Diplomatic passport has Tinubu’s citizenship as Guinean.

You don't need to be a citizen to hold Diplomatic Passport.

Citizenship is specified on passports ,rather Nationality which reflect the Sovereign Country issuing the passport for the holder as her representative in case of Diplomatic Passport Holder. It means the holder is representing the Government at that point in time.

chigator2:
Yoruba always trying to defend their criminals.

That is why the current Osun speaker of assembly that was caught bathing naked 3 years ago at the market square, was promoted to his current position.

Talk about the Ogun state ex-convict governor and many other criminal elite that our sophisticated people are ready to die for, as long as he shares a chicken scratched face with them.

It baffles me

Your hatred for someone does NOT necessarily mean the position of the law but most of you are too emotional to understand this simple fact.

Obinoscopy:
Diplomatic Passport for a honorary citizen? That would be strange but let's see. I'm sure more details will be revealed soon.

The Late Chief Dehinde Fernandez was Ambassador of Angola and Mozambique with Diplomatic Passports of these countries and also that of Central African Republic. He wasn't a citizen of any of these countries.

Diezani Allison-Madueke holds Diplomatic Passport of Dominican Republic and She isn't a Dominican citizen.

Obinoscopy:
Even if he renounces his guinean citizenship, are you comfortable being governed by someone who was once loyal to an external government? This is not to talk about the perjurious dishonesty when he was filling the INEC form. As a Nigerian we need to be worried about Tinubu’s loyalty. Even his tribe should be worried about his origin and loyalty.

1) You don't need to become a Citizen to get Diplomatic Passport of the country.

2) You only need to be elected according to the law to be president. It doesn't matter if Tijani, Uche, Essen or Umar aren't comfortable with you.
