Why not put Peter Obi there instead of GEJ.

kettykin:
Just watch and see, very soon the whole country will start sitting at home, bookmark this forecast

Have ever wondered why Igbo traders in Lagos ,Ibadan,Kano, Jos and other parts of Nigeria, don't observe the IPOB Monday sit-at-home?

Akhee:
How did that stop the problem that the Yorubas have put this country into?. If she did something wrong now, the Yorubas here will deny her. And as you can read she is not Yoruba but Gbagyi from Abuja.

Go and look for your mates and stop derailing the thread.

Justnation:
Yoruba from Abuja / nassarrawa state?
simply because they answer ireti and ajoke?

Please pack your tribal bus very well stop carrying the wrong passengerd

You are just a kid, focus on passing SSCE/UME

The two sisters, Ireti Kingibe and Ajoke Muhammed, are Yoruba women.

franchasofficia:
I am a Sowore supporter, you can check my main moniker, I voted for Sowore, and I will still vote for Sowore again if he contests in 2027.


Tinubu you are supporting did not win 2023 Presidential election, you and Tinubu knows it. It was INEC that helped him rig it with the help of some APC Northern Governors like El Rufai, Ganduje, etc and they wont be Governors in 2027, and those that will still be Governors in 2027 have realized how untrustworthy Tinubu is after what he did to El Rufai and other Northern politicians that helped him rig 2023, so be assured thar rigging won't be easy for Tinubu in 2027 because that is what Tinubu is relying on because people didn't actually vote for him in 2023 talk more of now that Nigerians have realized that Tinubu is a failure and Yoruba regional President

Which party won the 2023 presidential election?

vanbonattel:
Government cannot solve any problems as soon as APC took over. Government used to solve every problems in this world when Jonathan was president.

APC and Jonathan have no correlations with the Kenya Protests. You can open another thread for APC and Jonathan.

vanbonattel:
Alas!

If only you people took this same advice in 2014.

Then go back to 2014 and let us focus on this thread.

001Lagos:
Stop shifting goal post oga, na you dey always support yeye leaders like the one in aso rock and see how bad he has ruled this country . Your brothers in Ogun state now invade cemeteries to dig up corpses for money rituals due to hardship .

Na una dey support evil and na still una the evil dey go back to 😂

Focus on improving your life, solving your personal

problems ,instead of venting your frustration on other citizens online and detailing this thread

vanbonattel:
Kenya should complain with protests till the government solves their problems.

As for Nigeria, it will never happen. The corrupt government just needs to do one thing to stop the protests, just accuse the protesters of being Igbos (without proof of course) and the whole protest will stop. Tribalists will take over and start fighting each other.

They have us all tied up pretty well with bigotry and are robbing the whole country blind.

Government can NOT solve most of their problems


No amount of protests can lead to economic growth.


Most Africans don't understand the roles of economic development as a precursor to National development.

YorubaForum:
We know them..

How did Yoruba entered this matter?


Why your obsession with Yoruba?




By the way, how can 75% of Nigerian women be Yoruba?

AqualinaXYZ:
If no be say south south we no get sense what’s refinery doing in kaduna




Does kaduna have oil?




If there was no oil in south south will northerners allow government to build refinery in south south?



One day this one Nigeria will end and every parasite go answer him papa name

There are too many ignorant people in Nigeria.
The Kaduna Refinery is meant to refine crude oil to petroleum products for the Northern parts of the country.

It is NOT the problem of South South people.


Three Refineries were established (2 in Rivers and 1 in Delta) in the South South ,close to the sources of crude oil, while another one was established to serve people in the far north of the country...it makes perfect sense.

PresidObi:
Who knows how much agbodo people paid him to release this news so they can walk on it

You are a kid.

Do you know that Rear Admiral Allison Madueke was the Chief of Naval Staff during the early days of the Avacha Junta?

DomPerignon:
Stopped right there.

Are you the only one with links ?

Attaché by force revisionist.

How about your links with Igala ?

Why you no use that one drag them into your Biafra?

But you need to understand that Igala don't possess what Igbo want

Vinnie2000:
The Simple Fact Here is Tinibu can only 'perform' with Y0rubas,
as seen in his Appointments. 😒

He can't Manage a Heterogeneous Political Party like PDP.😕

Even Peter Obi is BETTER than him in this Respect.🙁

You don't still understand what you are saying.

Vinnie2000:
Some APC Agbad0rians always claim PETER OBI can't manage Labour Party but wants to Manage Nigeria.
Claiming Tinibu had managed Alliance for Democracy (AD) and ACN very well.

Tinibu Merely benefitted from Awolowo's Action Group and UPN's Ideology which gave birth to AD.

With the Band of Y0rubas Awoists Surrounding Him, AD and ACN was quite easy for him to Manage.😕


From 1999-2007, AD did NOT have a Single HOR or Senate member outside South West, Unlike LP who has them now from Delta, Lagos, Nassarawa, FCT, etc.

They think It's Easy for One Man to Manage Different Politicians from Different Tribes and with Different Interests?

Did Tinibu who only care about Y0rubas, ever do That in AD or ACN? 😕😏

Tinibu who abandoned his Candidate, Nuhu Ribadu in 2011 Presidential election in the Dying minutes?😨

Even The so-called Building Bridges of Tinibu started in 2013 when the Brood of Vipers and Backstabbers combined to form APC.

That was when Tinibu became friends with the likes of Masari, Tambuwal, Rotimi Amaechi, etc.

Before Then, He was a Regional Y0ruba LOCAL CHAMPION.🙁

Tinibu could NOT have managed a Complex Party of Different Tribal politicians like PDP or Labour Party of today.

The Man is more Comfortable with Y0rubas whom he can use Money and Cunning to Deceive.😮‍💨

This is likely the reason why he Appointed only Y0rubas into all Major portfolios and is FAILING WOEFULLY in Aso Rock.😒😤😤

Obviously, you are Gen-Z commenting on issues you don't know anything about.

Tinubu never participated in Awolowo's parties and AD/ACN were quite different from Awolowo's parties (I won't like to digress on this).

In 1999, AD had elected members, outside the SW, including two Senators in Enugu State . Sen Okoro was one of them.

By 2003, AD was the main opposition in Delta State (Great Ogboru Vs James Iboru), Plateau State (Daminishi Sango Vs Joshua Dariye) and Borno (Mal Kachala Vs Ali Modu Sheriff).
When the PDP didn't allow Gov Chineoke Mbadinuju of Anambra State to contest for the 2003 gubernatorial election he ran to the AD where he contested but lost the election to Dr Chris Ngige.

Tinubu, worked with like minds to build AD and later ACN, before the merger with other parties to form APC in 2013.


You can NOT win presidential primaries of the ruling party in a large heterogeneous country like Nigeria if you are a local champion and definitely, you can NOT become President by your own doings, scheming, knowledge or bribery in a country with over 40 million adults.

budaatum:
I think so.

First, give us Buhari who calls us lazy fuqs. Then give us Tinubu till we cry ẹbi npa wa. And after those 2, and if we haven't learnt, let our laziness and ignorance get to the point where the dead are left rotting on the street.

When we start walking pass our smelly dead relatives and our population halves, those who remain will learn by force.

Let me tell you the truth, no president can develop Nigeria alone and definitely, not with the kind of people in Nigeria with very WRONG mindsets/attitudes.

Blazetrailer:
Mumu, you are on your own.
I am from SW part of Nigeria, if dem take over make dem take over, Tinubu does not even know my family, all politicians take care of their families first.

You can go out ans protest, ti show them anyhow. Oponu!

Citizens calling fellow citizens that aren't in Government demeaning names over Government
Policies.

How will this solve Nigeria's problems?

Nigeria's problems are largely economical and no amount of revolution can solve economic problems.

Even if Tinubu leaves today, things won't become cheaper and most of the problems won't necessarily disappear.


Different parts of Nigeria urgently need to become

more productive . This is the only way to economic prospective.

caleboxylic:
Lol. The way you built a refinery in kaduna that is miles away from Niger delta.

Refineries can be built anywhere. Refineries are similar to Rice Mills, where you take rice paddies there and it process it to give you edible rice.

There are many refineries in France, India and other countries, without crude oil.

The Refinery in Kaduna was to produce petroleum products for Northern Region and if Nigeria were to be a serious countries, more refineries ought to have been built in different parts of Nigeria and not just in Niger Delta.

babasolution:
The problem is the issue of standardisation of learning,it will be alot of work to vet the standard of formal education in various languages in the same country.

Therefore the formal education might end up being thought in few dominant languages which will be at the disadvantage of smaller tribes,leading to further breeding of rancour.

The use of indigenous languages in schools doesn't have to mean abolition of English language-based Schools.

As a matter of fact, in the early phase of Western Education in Nigeria down till 1960, indigenous languages were used to teach primary schools in the first few years of schooling.

We can retain WAEC as a standard and unified exam to give certificates but learning to instill knowledge should be thought in Native Languages and English in STATES that are willing to do so.

If Science Textbooks have been translated into indigenous languages since 1850s when the Bible was translated to Yoruba language, Scientific ways of reasoning would have been well entrenched in Nigeria.

When we got to Senior Secondary school, most people struggled with Sciences because the subjects were written in a Foreign language and the texts used concepts that were unfamiliar to the environments we grew up. Biology and Agricultural Sciences appeared simpler because most people could relate with what they are taking about in these subjects e.g Heart, Muscles, Monocotyledon or Ruminant Animals etc

jamesversion:
But a refinery can be built where there is no oil?

Refineries use OIL ,which are far easier to transport and can even run through pipelines utilising gravity in many areas.

India has many refineries without being an oil producing country.

kettykin:
I read the same thing many years back that soviet union after their technical survey and plant design and planning selected onitsha for the steel plant. Iron ore was to be mined in itakpe and transported via river Niger to onitsha while coal was to be transported via rail from enugu to onitsha. Steel products were to be shipped via barges to warri and to Lagos.

But Nigerian factor overtook technical experience and common sense.

From an initial budget og $6b the project has gulped more than $40b and is still a dream project.
Ajaokuta was planned same time with China Steel complex, south Korea Steel complex and India Steel complex. All others are working at full blast today and have been expanded several times but Ajaokuta remained a white elephant project and a sink hole

You always read nonsense that tickle your victimhood.
Ajaokuta was sited close to raw materials (which is heavy) --- Itakpe Iron Ore.
Itakpe is a village close to Ajaokuta (both used to be in one Local Government Area).

How unreasonable would it be to be transporting heavy iron iron from Itakpe to Onitsha by River Niger which is only navigable during raining season.

babasolution:
Yes,we weren't forced but compelled by exigencies of the times,in the early colonial era,people do not realise that what you are proposing was what was to take place in the colonial era,that's why Bibles etc were translated to indigenous languages ,Yoruba was being promoted to be the lingua franca of the West and neighbour regions such as kabba province ,kukuruku and Midwest (Benin,delta area).

The Benin and delta vehemently rejected it,that's why the policy was stopped.

Very small tribes like mine had no voice n we were influenced to comply until the policy was stopped.

You don't still get the points.

Did anyone stop you from translating the Bible to your native language and use your language in religious worship?
The Missionaries understood that ,to get their messages across to the new converts, they needed to preach and conduct their services in the languages they understood.

Who told you that people have stopped using local Languages in Commerce, religion, music and Social
circles?

As matter of fact, one of the reasons that SW musicians are breaking grounds in Music is because they partly sing in their Native Language which give their sense of originality and uniqueness.

The major reason why guys who dropped out of secondary schools, to learn carpentenry, Tailoring, building ,Auto-mechanics and other skills do well is because, instructions and training in these fields are done in their local languages.


Finally, peoples speaking and using ,their native languages, is NOT a threat to other native languages.


You can develop your languages, music ,culture and ECONOMY too,which would make others people learn and adopt from you.

For instance, in the glorious days of the Bini Empire, there were many people from Yoruba, Igbo, Igala and several small tribes who migrated to Bini or became influenced by Bini culture, languages and political system because it was the 'sense of class' at that time.

makemoneywbsite:
Year? Even Mr Goodluck Jonathan became Ijaw by force because that was the only way to secure minority recognition. What do you really think was the genesis of the recent Okuama crisis?

You didn't answer my question, which year did Ijaw claimed all the lands along the coast and why did the coastal peoples allow them?

If Goodluck Jonathan became Ijaw, then he has always been an Ijaw because, he would have resisted the label if he isn't.

All ethnic groups emerge from fusion of several smaller pre-existing tribes.
For instance, the modern English Peoples are descendants of Anglo-Saxon, Jutes, Vikings, Romans, Normans(French) , Celtic and several ancient tribes that have inhabited the Island of Britainia

makemoneywbsite:
YOU dont JOIN who you are. No Igbo ever wants a yoruba community joining him. you're either IGBO or you're not. Historically, IGBO, EFIK and IBIBIO have common ancestry, yet you never hear IGBO claim any of these tribes, yet out of malice, most of you Yoruba do not want IGBO tribes to unite or find their roots. You only remember there are Igbo outside SE when you term 1966 revolution Igbo coup. Then when you want to steal Igbo resources in the SS, Nzeogwu is no longer Igbo. How dishonorable can you be?

You don't understand anything about International Relations and Politics.
Nobody can impose unity on peoples or stop peoples that truly want to unite from doing so.

However, the issue of Land is far more complex than you people know or acknowledge. The control of lands and the peoples over such lands is the root causes of virtually all wars.

You can can't impose Biafra on peoples who never asked for it.

babasolution:
There will be limitations, imagine you have a Yoruba President addressing the nation in Yoruba,how many languages will it be translated to?

Smaller tribes will be forced to be incorporated into the big three,which will be disadvantageous to those tribes,it's already happened to my tribe to an extent, were in the past we were compelled to bare Yoruba names for political reasons,today many indigenes have forgotten their original culture, identity and history and the Yoruba is wrongly terming us to be yoruba

You didn't read to understand but rushed to respond.

The President addressing the country is more of passing information than impacting knowledge, so this can be done in English.

However if we want the largest number of Africans to have detailed understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, necessary to catapult Africa into developed countries, then it is best to translate STEM Textbooks into indigenous languages and teach children in local languages.

Even ,important detailed political and public information are made in Local Languages for most people to understand and assimilate the languages e.g Campaigns at Political Rallies, Advertisements by National Orientation Agency, Voter's Card Registration & collection, Infotmatuon on Immmunizations etc.

Nobody forced you or anyone to bear Yoruba names or speak Yoruba language. It is NEVER happened, it is just parts of your propaganda.

makemoneywbsite:
You're obviously a very intelligent person.Same happened to Poland and Germany during the first world war and second world war. The Germans recovered from the defeat of WWI and took back their territories. No one told the Allied Powers to be careful with Germany after the defeat of WWII. Everyone know that Igbo just have to recover and be strong enough to take bake their territories. It's either or no way. A good move from the Western Igbos thinking of creation of Anioma state. Other southern and Northern Igbos of Kogi and Benue need to start thinking along that line too. So should coastal Igbo of Bonny and Opobo work with hinterland Igbo. Igbo land must reunite again by nullifying all that the British, Gowon and Awolowo did to give the North and SW an edge over the rest of the country. Even the southern minorities should know that without Igbo as their last line of defence, they stand no chance in Nigeria.

Most of you guys are naive and uninformed IPOB sympathisers.

You can only gain any land if the people of the towns,LGA or whole State joined Igbo.
Any other thing is just waste of time and wishful thinking

makemoneywbsite:
Ijaw now claims alltheshoreline to even Ibibioland, actively backed by the Nigerian government.

Which year did this claim happened and why did the owners of those lands allowed it?

babasolution:
Such can only work if Nigeria is divided along ethnic lines,no tribe however small will be willing to displace it's indigenous language, for its neighbours own,English is neutral

No need for displacement but promoting and using our native languages as medium of impacting Knowledge in Academics, Commerce and Nation building (and English for translations or communications with others), will fast track developments.
The Missionaries understood this concept well, when they translated the Bible, Church Hyms and Liturgical books into native languages.

Home grown religious groups like the White Garments, African Church and CAC churches further entrenced the religion by adapting the new religion to suit local needs.

victory36:
I guess 'colonizer' language is the reason why African leaders are corrupt and irresponsible and also the reason why Africans vote evil leaders consistently. Singapore, Malaysia, Brazil, Indonesia, and many others were all colonized but you wouldn't hear them shouting colonizers here and there. Ethiopia wasn't colonized but it's still an underdeveloped country today.

You don't understand causes and effects ,in nation building.
Brazil is similar to the USA, a settler country.
Singapore,Malaysia and Indonesia are far more homogeneous than African countries and use their indigenous languages as official languages with English as auxiliary language.

Ethiopia, given it's geographical challenges, has performed better than many colonised African countries.

magoo10:
Farms that have been taken over by bandits and terrorists.
Old man fooling himself

This is the usual excuse of the wailing lazy youths.
There are still many thousands of farmers in Nigeria, so this excuse that every land in Nigeria has been taken over by Bandits is great falsehoods.
