Heffalump:
To end this argument for Yorubas:

I want everyone to understand that the people of Kwara state are not yorubers, if it's possible to believe that Ikwere people of Rivers are not Igbos.

Nothing concern Yorubas in this matter.


Most Yorubas don't even know what is Ikweres, let alone know if they are Igbo or not.


I first learned of Ikweres-Igbo palaver on Social Media in 2015, shortly after IPOB started drawing maps of Biafra.

mrvitalis:
Libya had Ekiti population with Nigerians oil production

Bros who taught u guys economics please

Most Nigerians are deeply entitled and deeply ignorant.

Zulu11zulu:
This yeruba woman her parents enter UK illegally want to stop others.

She should know that she is products of illegal immigrants and stop envy, I know her target will be Africa migrants her parents will be ashamed of her when ever they are. Very ugly thing.

Her parents entered the UK legally.

Before 1986, Nigerians didn't need a Visa to enter the UK.

Biodun556:
How come all of them are Fulanis even though they speak hausa?

How do they manage to exclude real hausas?

The issue isn't as straight forward as you assume.

In the URBAN areas, ethnic identity is difficult to delineat because most families are mixed e.g Gov Umar Bago of Niger State is Fulani-Nupe-Gbagyi

Gov Abdullazeez Abdulrazaq of Kwara is Yoruba+Fulani+ (? Nupe/Bariba)



In the rural areas, where the political and religious elites of the Emirates only post supretending officers called Hakimis (District leaders) from the capitals, the ordinary peoples still maintain their ethnic identities.

Villagesquare:
Igbos Shine both when Nigeria is bad and when it is good. This my standpoint view is backed up with the evidential reality of what the Igbo business men did this December. Anybody that it in the Eastern Nigeria this festive season will not believe that this is the same Nigeria where cost of 1 bag of rice is 100k. There was an unaccountable number of events and this last year saw the highest influx of people in the recent times. How are the Igbos doing this. It is simple. Igbos are business people, therefore they are not always at the tail end of the adverse effects of inflation. Infact a business man confided in me that Last year was his best Year. Other tribes should realize that no matter how they try, they can't kill that spirit of Igbo man. If it can't happen during the war, it cannever happen now. Igbo esika

Tinubu would win Anambra ,Ebonyi and Imo States come 2027

iwaeda:
Iku ba yeye, kade pelori.
What will Gbadegesin do now.

They are from the same family

paramakina202:
There are failed marriages in people that married from their villages even in some cases of first cousins who got married and still divorced.
Betty marriage to her husband should be considered as successful as they lived together in peace till the man passed away it is Yoruba tribalist who are judging her in a negative way.However people will continue to marry from any place they found love.Nigerians do marry oyibo so nothing can stop them from getting married to each other that is a wishful thinking.

People should marry whoever they like.


However, the PERSONALITY of Betty Anyawu-Akeredolu affected her .
She is clearly an Alpha-female who was the dominant partner in her marriage which easily cropped up with her dangling into the politics of Ondo State.

The FASTEST way: enter Akure bust at Iwo road, immediately you alight at Akure, you would see Bini buses (which is about an hour from Akure.

Celestialsword:
Those who fight and run away live to fight another day,

I can see that you are not capable of controlling your emotions.

Many elitist sees and experience the decay in the nation,but since they can't do anything about it for now, they decided to lie low.

My advice to you now is that try and create positive Change in that small place you are now and with time it will go round .

You cannot be holier than the pope

I sympathize with the young man but he is not seeking solutions to his problems.

Nigeria is poor because we are NOT a productive country and the effect of this realities is biting harder among the young educated Nigerians, who have no skills will, determination and to some extent, the resources ,needed to be productive in a changing world but wrongly assumed that their university degrees automatically confer on them the right to comfortable lives.

Coldrux:
I hold a B.Sc

lOOK around you and see, which of the problems can you use this qualification to solve:

for instance: production and supply of granites, plastic pipes, garments, vegetable oil, chalk, tomatoes, leather or other items needed in your environment or provision of certain services like internet, hospital or transportation services that are in GREAT DEMANDS by your community.

The reasons why those rear cattle, those who produce iron rods, plastics or yams are not wailing like our young university graduates is because they are PRODUCING things that are in hot demands by our society.

Coldrux:
As I type this, I'm going mad and crazy. God and even the devil see my heart. He(God) knows me even before I was formed and conceived in my mother's womb. I'm someone that hates to see tears and sadness among people. I could do everything and anything within my capacity to see people smile and be eternally happy. What is the essence of our existence if we can't touch lives?.
Consequent upon my kindheartedness, I've often being left penniless most times, because I give a lot. By God's grace, I'm an embodiment of Generosity. I am willing and ready to die to see others happy. If I'm lieing, let me not see the new year. Nigerians deserve better than what they are currently going through. The irony of the whole thing is that the most hardworking people are the poorest ones.
Can we all protest? Can we all come out to say no to bad governance? I'm ready to lead the protests. I don't care or mind if I die in the course of doing so. After all, something must kill a man. It is better to die for something than to live for nothing. Let's rise now. Tommorow might be too late

PROTESTS CAN NOOOOOOOT SOLVE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.

khalling2008:
Some ignorant people will think Islam is the religion of the North. So for your mind now, it is the North that practices Islam. What consign President Tinubu with the introduction of Sharia court in South West. Sharia court has been practiced by Muslims in Oyo state, Ibadan, Iwo, osun, etc, but the munafiq and the non-muslims will not understand because they don't know what it is called sharia law.

In as much as the constitution of Nigeria allow sharia court, sharia court of appeal, the southwest must get thier.shària court also.

All the religion in Nigeria has the right to practice their religion according to their faith.

For those who said that they will not allow the sharia court, should kill their self or to relocate to southeast because social media is not a place where the matter will be settled. The matter will be settled by the constitution and court of law, not by nonentity that shouting on social media.

In what stand, you declare that Shari'ah courts has been practiced in Ibadan, Iwo and some Yoruba cities and at the same time, you are pushing for establishments of Shari'ah Courts in the same Yorubaland .

immortalcrown:
Three questions:

1.
Why is there so much noise or controversy about Sharia court in SW?

2.
Will the Sharia court handle cases that involve non-Muslims?

3.
I sincerely thought that Sharia court is in line with the Islamic faith. If this thought is correct, why should a Yoruba person that willingly practises Islam in Yoruba land reject Sharia court?

Why do you need a Government Agency like a Court to monitor and punish citizens for obey or disobeying a supposedly laws of a God?


Please lave religious beliefs within the realms of individual convictions and personal agencies?

englishmart:
What was Deborah's offence that made those bloodthirsty terrorists lynch her in such a gruesome manner. Once I hear "Allahu Akbir" I Usain-bolt.

Last year, one heavly bearded man at a well populated train station in a European country loudly shouted 'Allahu Akbar' and hundreds of people started scampering for safety. The whole station was in commotion, thinking a terrorist was about to detonate a bomb.

Those who wants Shariah Laws,(the Islamic Legal codes) should obey and start observing the 'Shari'ah laws' on their own. We don't need Government to be in-charge of Religions and be establishing religious courts in Nigeria.

Ojiofor:
You got it wrong bro.
Nnanna is from Ohafia LGA in Abia state.

But his Facebook profile says otherwise

Ojiofor:
Are you serious?
But he is from Abia state how come.

He is from Olukumi area of Delta State.

paramakina202:
RONU social media bandits was dealt with by Nnanna when he called them sophisticated möröns and they went mad at him.

Interestingly, Nnanna Ocheoreome himself, though now igbonized but he is of Yoruba ancestry

Vinnie2000:
Some Nigerians CAN'T stand small Criticism.

But during Ex Pres Goodluck Jonathan administration,
It was their Wide mouths that spoke the loudest.

Publishing a book on the Nigetian Judiciary and making grave allegations against the Legal luminary is a serious case.
Dele Farotimi has been charged to court and reminded in Prison, from where the case would continue.

Cmanforall:
Your comment is appreciated.
For clarification, the 'substandard ' used was neither in relation to cassava nor wheat flour. In line with your comment, both flours can be used for baking. And I'll add, both are edible.
However, if the Senate succeeds to make if mandatory for cassava flour to be mixed with Wheat flour, then they are already setting a 'standard' for the Nigerian flour industry. If that is the case,
then, any flour, wheat or cassava, that is available will be regarded as not meeting their standard, and thus may be considered substandard (who knows the full details of the bill, these products may even be destroyed).
Also, when there's required percentage mixture in this 'new Wheat-Cassava' flour, alteration of the percentage content of either of the flour could also render it substandard.

Nevertheless, both flour are consumable, but the senate should not make the mixture 'mandatory'

Changes of this nature don't really requires the Senate or any law.

They are best implemented through Food Policies and Economic programs.

Cmanforall:
What level of education do you have?

Why not have pure cassava flour?

Don't you know this may give room to substandard baked goods

What is the standard and what is the substandard here?


You can actually use many different food items (breadfruit, sweet potato, corn, cassava, plantains, carrots, pawpaw etc) to bake different varieties of

bread either wholly or in different combinations.


The only reason why we assume that only wheat flour can be used to bake bread is because it was introduced to us by the white maen who baked their bread using wheat ,which were readily grown in their environment.


Similarly, we can brew beer from virtually all foods rich in starch but we restrict ourselves to only barley, hops, malts and sugar


Until we start massive decolonization of our food industry and other sectors of the economy, Nigeria will find it difficult to develop

ElevationD:
We thank him for that. We thank you too. Please remember in all you postings to mention the name Peter Obi. Infact even if you label him your reckless and irresponsible names, your audience know who you refer to. So thank you very much.

Go and warm eba.

ElevationD:
But many of you said that Obi was nobody. Many of you said that he could not go far with the last elections. Why do many of you still bother about him?

Anyway, some of us can simply thank your likes for helping us be Obi’s advert managers. Thank you for following up with him every second, minute, hour and day. Thank you for helping us with his stories. However you put it, whether good or bad, you help us with advertising him. Thank you very much.

Even David Hundeyin has read the hand writing on the wall and has dumped him

highchief1:
bros all this English no be wetin Nigerians need.as dem take increase make dem reduce am like that

Nigerians need to earn more money to be able to afford things they are used to get before.

Presidency can't dictate to private companies on pricing of their products

highchief1:
mad presidency.una increase smthg by 900naira.come later remove 50naira come Dey announce it as price slash.May God slash ur years on earth so that u will understand the full meaning of slash.This is my prayer to the presidency

Damgote Refinery and IPMAN are all private companies, there are not Government companies, let alone be under the presidency.


The Oil sector has been fully deregularized

oluztx:
Many people are jumping to conclusion just based of off the snippet of the video posted by the Bolt delivery driver.

The Bolt driver was very disrespectful and lacks customer service. His demeanor shows he doesn't like his job and doesn't want to be there. He ordered the man to come outside and pick up his food. Hon. Ikwechegh said no, he needs to bring it inside, which is expected as that's why people use such delivery services and pay the extra delivery fees. What if Hon. Ikwechegh was sick and couldn't make it outside? This is what delivery service is for. Otherwise, it's meaningless. They can as well go outside and drive to the restaurant themselves.

Hon. Ikwechegh even called the restaurant asking what's going on as he couldn't understand why the driver is acting in this manner. If I were him, I would have asked him to return the food. Can't trust eating a food delivered by a driver having an attitude.

Yes, his actions were wrong but the bolt driver was very disrespectful to order a man that lives in an upscale part of the city and obviously an honorable member to come outside. If he had his security detail, they would dealt with him and rightfully so. Delivery driver is a customer service job, you have to do it respectfully.

It appears this could also be premeditated by the bolt driver, like he's been there before, perhaps, didn't like his tip and decided to set him up by acting disrespectfully.

Most Nigerians are mini tyrants and love oppression if they have power over other people. This is why Big men threaten poor men with a shout of 'Do you know who I am?' and the poor ones would repeat similar behaviours if their fortunes change and they have find themselves in positions of authority. This is one of the reasons why ordinary Nigerians that join the Police, Military and other Services ,like to oppress the less fortunate ones.

When I was undergoing the compulsory NYSC orientation camp in one of the Northern States, there were some indigenes of the town that came to work within the camp and some worked as more or less errand boys/servants in an office in the camp. One of them was a guy called Abdullahi, who could barely speak in English language.

We were very friendly with them and this guy was becoming rude. One afternoon, I was encouraging him to return to his secondary school complete his education and do WAEC exams ,but he said he had his own plans- he wants to join the Military.

He said he applied the previous year but wasn't taken because he is originally from Tchad and has no Nigerian indigenship documents but he said, this time he would be taken because he had procured a recommendation letter as an indigene from the Emirof the town.


He further boasted that once he join the Military, he would lobby to be posted to NYSC orientation camp, where he would have opportunity to whip 'some corners with koboko' .
He also discussed some 'disciplinary measures' he would mete out to the corners. This was a very poor almajiri boy that struggled to speak in English language, already having this kind of mindset.


This politician can NOT try this in Europe ,Canada or US, he would have been charged for assault.

How many Catholic, Anglican ,Methodist or Baptist Priests have Private Jets?


Islamic Clerics just like their Christian counterparts in Orthodox Churches, are mostly employees of the Mosques.
Only private churches (now called Pentecostal churches) ,ram like private business Organizations of the founders have super-rich pastors

bluefilm:
Wow!

I really enjoyed this your story

But I still dey wonder how a 'small boy' like you will know what the adults are doing in the back of the chemist shop?

Na wa for you oooo

Anyway sha, can you continue with another Episode?

Any Pry-4 school kid in Lagos already have ideas (not knowledge or skills) about such matters.

pacino26:
You see Dangote almost crying because of what he passed through. Nigeria is not ripe for such now.

Dangote is like John the Baptist , paving ways for the coming of others in many sectors of the economy

9jatriot:
How exactly does a man who took heavy forex loans to build an important business as a refinery not mean well? Please explain.

Nigerians want the products cheap.

AK481:
It's not oh.

Others can't afford the current price as it will be over 1000 naira .

Protesters should march to Dangote Refinery and issue him an ultimatum to reduce the pump prices of his petrol or there would be trouble.

pacino26:
That’s a start. Now we need to know the exchange rate with which they supply crude to local refineries not just Dangote alone cuz someone like me is getting tired hearing only that name. The time for standardization is now, the template must be transparent to allow for more investment.

What we need is ,for more people to go into the Refinery business.


The Obidients Movement can even contribute money like they did during the election and build a small Refinery, in partnership with Gov Alex Otti at Aba, which can be selling petrol at #300/Litre.
