This chicago bullion van cocain sniffer will be bowing down to his northern fulani masters until his tenure ends, if he ever taste that presidency. God forbid.

One will think that the ways you carry Tinubu's matter on your head like Brazilian hairs is making money for you

horsepower102:
I was just waiting for someone to mention Lagos. Only certain parts of Lagos is developed. Like 10-15% and when I refer to those parts as developed, I am talking of west African standard.

Abuja has more development because it was built from scratch. Yet still lacking a lot when compared to so many cities in modern times.

Anything else mentioned out of the above two is not an honest opinion.

Development means different things to different people.


If you want to measure development and compare development of a Region, you first need to have an index of development that can used (with precision) to measure developments accross many cities and States.


The most universally acceptable index of development is the 'Human Development Indices' ( HDI).




Try to compare and contrast the HDI of different States in Nigeria as measured by a neutral body like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

The war forced Igbos to adopt a survivalist mentality because Igbos understood that nothing is ever coming from the Federal Government.

It motivated them to use the little resources that they had after the war to rebuild their cities. I have seen pictures and videos of Owerri, Onitsha, Aba, and Enugu after the war. The devastation was shocking.

Unlike Germany and Japan that received and benefited from reconstruction money, The Igbos didn't get a dime.

This is why I wonder why those whose cities were left intact still struggle with development.

Please post pictures of Owerri, Onitsha, Enugu and Aba in 1970 after the war showing they were ever destroyed.



Virtually all Government and private buildings that existed before the war were still standing after the war.

KoshCAD:
Show the picture proof of all the major cities that were destroyed. Let us see the how it was leveled the way we say that of Hiroshima.


Which money do they seized, how many igbos get up to 20pounds that time. Lie kee you there.

Below is a picture of Hiroshima leveled to the ground. Show the pictures of your cities leveled to the ground like that

I hate lies.

These tribalists think they are smart and like to play unnecessary victim cards.

horsepower102:
Don't hide under tribalism card to delegitimize a common sense question. If a place never experienced war and yet remains underdeveloped for over 50 years, it is pertinent to ask why why it is that way.

The civil war ended in Jan,1970 almost 52years ago. It is no longer a tenable excuse for the former Eastern Region.
There is no functional pipe born water system in Enugu State which suffer perennial water shortages. Intra city roads are in deplorable conditions in Imo State. Waste disposal system is horrible in Abia State.

All these are NOT effects of the civil war but due to poor leadership (just like the rests of Nigeria) which is unable to transform these States into wealthy and developed States




40 years is enough to build mega cities. However the problems facing cities in Anambra, Ebonyi or Bauchi are similar to the problems facing Kaduna, Ogun or Edo States- low socioeconomic power.

horsepower102:
But so many countries whose cities were on par with Nigerian cities in the 60s and 70s still found a way to modernize their cities. So many south east Asian countries had horrible levels of development in comparison to today.

You want outputs like developed countries but you don't want inputs like developed countries?




You can NOT have developed cities in the midst of poverty.



If we want Nigerian cities to look like Dubai, Seol, South-Korea, Taipei in Taiwan then we must start creating wealth to give at least 85% of our population a descent living

kettykings:
His running mate should be shekau

But Shekau is dead, so the most likely candidate is Maazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Why Do They Fear The Igbo Man?
There are reasons many finds it difficult to understand Igbo people. Some people fears the Igbo. Not that Igbo people are bad people, yet they fear them. It was this same fear that made slave owners to stop buying Igbo slaves even when they know that Igbo people are intelligent and hard working. It was as a result of this fear that spurred Britain in to working against the Igbo interests in Nigeria. It was this fear that plays against Biafra in 1967-70. There is this fear about Biafra becoming another Japan in Africa. So many refused to support Biafra as a result of this fear.

The understanding of the Igbo towards life is different when compared to Fulani, Hausa and Yoruba. In Igbo land, no one wants to know your father. You hardly see people say, 'Do you know who my father is'. What your father owns is nothing when you are being rated. An Igbo man is rated not with his father's
achievements, but with what he is able to achieve. Respect isn't transferable from Father to son in Igbo land. You need to rise up and climb the ladder of success yourself. No one is accorded respect because of his father's achievements.

Achebe in his classical work 'Things Fall Apart' presented the character of Okonkwo, whose father is not only poor, but also lazy. Unoka, Okonkwo's father will always go to the Priestest to lay sacrifice to the gods, instead of going to work like a man. But Okonkwo rose up to achieve greatness, irrespective of whom his father was. He got riches and was welcomed to the table of elders. Ọ kwa Igbo si na Nwatakịrị kwọchaa aka, o soro Okenye rie nri.(When a child has washed he hands, he can eat with elders). While others will choose to respect and honor children's of their elites, the Igbo will rather give every one the same opportunity to climb the ladder of success or be forgotten.

Zik of Africa, Nnamdi Azikiwe was the greatest of them all in his time, but today no one hears about his sons. It is a competition for the Igbo people. Igbo don't create gods among themselves. That's why it is very difficult to create someone like Tinubu among the Igbo people. Why others have same reoccurring names in their regional politics, the Igbo keep changing leadership.
Igbo people can rally round someone without money and make him king simply because of his dedication and sincerity. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rose to power without drinking the dirty waters of Nigeria politics. He was never a governor, neither was he a Senator. But today, he is the most respected person in Igbo land. He got the greatest followership.

This culture or way of life of the Igbo encourages competition and the spirit of survival. A son of a poor man in Igbo land dreams of making it big in the future. A father that were able to learn machanic during his own time will deny himself a lot of things to make sure his son becomes a Doctor or a Lawyer. It was this spirit of the Igbo man that made them survive the war and recover within a short period of time. A lot have been said of single Igbo mothers that raised university graduates. Some of those that feared the Igbo accuse them of being domineering. One wonders how the Igbo is domineering when they are not invading peoples lands, or leading Nigeria. But a quick look at the resilience of
the Igbo tells it all.

An Igbo young man can travel to Lagos with nothing and yet become gradually rich. I have seen a Westerner who was trumpeting how Igbo business men engages in money rituals. It was actually an Igbo that went through Igbo apprenticeship system, got settled after 7 years of service to his master, started his own business, survived out of strict discipline, that were accused of money rituals. While his counterparts from other ethnic groups were enjoying parties, he sleeps in his shop, building his business. Soon he owns his own house, only to be accused of being domineering. Success they say attract envy. This is the crime of the Igbo. Succeeding where others failed.Igbo is never domineering. They are rather aggressively successful.

1) Who are the 'THEY' that fear the Igbos?


2) Is anybody asking the Igbos to have someone like Tinubu?


3) Must ethnic group think alike and behave in the same ways?

danot1030:
South East 5% vote is not a factor to make anyone a president in Nigeria, they can dash their votes to their Fulani lord. They should continue to Atikulate.

Every vote count sir

wazobiam05:
I am just putting myself in the shoes of the Children and Grandchildren of Liar Mohammed. I mean: (when every sane person around you knows that your Father is a continental liar and defender of evils).

Anyway, shame varies from one person to another. (The day God shared shame, reasoning, and fear of posterity) some people were not around.

His children are doing fine, living lives that you can only dream of.

olatade:
I would have been disappointed if he'd failed to live up to and represent the pronunciation of his famous name.

But he raised valid points that discredited the Panel's report.


That report can NOT stand the test of judicial scrutiny

Racoon:
The legendary lying machine and Joseph Goebbels of the government is back.It is just unthinkable a nation's minister of Information will be this so wicked.What a despicable humanity.

Meanwhile, bandits, murderous fulani and BH terrorists have been running amok across this failed contraption doing their evil, yet the bastard Minster of lies and disinformation have not even said pim.

Same man that boldly and shamelessly said -"Bandits are not terrorists because they are not mounting flags or taking territories" is the same man demonising #EndSARS protesters while defending the atrocities the govt and its agencies committed against the citizens.

Bros, you can NOT win this case in court by raising unrelated sentiments.



You need concrete evidence that a particular victim with verifiable identities (not just stating that John was killed at the toll gate) was killed by the military at the Lekki Toll gate

Racoon:
White paper is yet to be issued but the government is already convulsing with wicked lies, prejudice, subterfuge and demonization of a judicial panel of enquiry all in desperation to cover a heinous crime of killing its own citizens using instruments of the state that is well known to the whole world.Tueh!

1) The panel LEAKED it's own report to the social media before submitting it to the Governor paving the ways for anybody to scrutinize it.


2) It's the LASG that will issue the white paper and not the Federal Government, so the minister like other Nigerians can make his comments and observations.

Nonpartisan1:
Even the useless Reno couldn't provide a single reason why the so called dead ghosts, didn't have families, relatives or neighbors.

He delved into irrelevant things to muddle up the defence.

Nobody Died In LekkiTollGate. If You are relative or family member died bring the evidence.

If we want to get to the roots of this matter, let the LASG announce that #20 million will be given to the families of the dead victims at Lekki if they are able to prove that their child died on 20-10-2020 from gun shots.

ikenna44:
This is disheartening!!! To think that a bunch of supposedly intelligent people will all sit down and listen to this man speak... It's a very sad day for accountants all over Nigeria!

Bros ,join the presidential race.



The youths of this country are solidly behind you sir.

Maliqcious:
I wondee whats wrong with our Yoruba youth like how they come thus far to present this bloody liar to the number1 citizen of Nigeria we can't all be blind at same. There so many Sophisticated and leader oriented Yoruba out there why Tinubu of all people.

Nobody is presenting anybody sir.


Tinubu is marketing his candidacy. You are not marketing your candidate but instead you are always on social media, complaining and abusing a man that is marketing himself, so how can you get the same results?

Finewarriboy:
Go and run a poll to know the hatred Nigerians have against your father(BAT) Nobody wants him.

Just one comment on Edo election, full Edo state voted against Apc to shame d old retard.

All d youths are angry that he masterminded lekki massacre.

His silence when the fulani were slaughtering his people and his stand against Igboho has exposed him as a no no person.

He is going no where.... Lai lai

His authority starts and end in Lagos. Nigerians Nor Be Zombies

Bros, are you the INEC chairman?


Try to wait for the election day sir

DTaj:
Did you just write that Tinubu is an historian

No wonder Buhari called you guys "lazy youths"!

Ordinary google search, if you weren't sure, would have prevented you from disgracing yourself in public!

Who, except dunderheads, doesn't know that Tinubu is a CPA (USA equivalent of ICAN's ACA- chartered accountant). So, how could you query ICAN's invitation to a chartered accountant, who trained and practised in the US, and who was also an executive management staff, Treasurer, at Mobil?

You may say (and write) anything about his politics, but do not deny his professional background.

Children of hatred don't understand all these

ufotty2001:
Am really ashamed of ICAN.. oooh my God

Eeeyah, see what frustration has caused you now!

Thunderfayayou:
Now this is what I'm talking about. Is he the only educated Yoruba man alive? There are thousands of highly educated Yoruba guys that can make a great president but No you love him because he sells you and your useless father expired cannabis to smoke.

Is Tinubu the only presidential aspirant in Nigeria? Why are you so fixated on Tinubu?

Your hatred towards him will keep getting him sympathy. So many people who were hitherto neutral or even opposed to him are now rallying round behind him after they see they ways you guys demonize Tinubu but don't apply the same standards to your politicians.

ikenna44:
Studying accounting in an unknown institution doesn't make you an accountant... But you don't know sh.it!

If you can pass the American CPA (the US equivalent of I CAN) exam and be inducted, you are an accountant

Thebigheart:
Imagine, ICAN no get levels again ooo, historian want to discuss in ICAN gathering.
Hehehehe foto

I guess you don't know that Tinubu is an accountant and retired as Treasurer of Mobil?

poiZon:
I am saying that tinubu children r dunce, they didn't do well in school thats why they r occupying unpopular positions in the state.
If seyi was sound, he would have been pushed to be either a state representative or federal lawmaker.
Or we would have heard them occupying better positions in conventional society not iyaloja general of lagos.

You aren't sounding like an intelligent person if you think that only smart people hold Public/Gov't offices.


Tinubu's children choose the paths they want and who are you to tell them or anyone for that matter, what they should do with their lives?



Is this the way you think normally or you just think like this when talking about Tinubu?

OChimex:
Very useless sets of African simpletons that are worth nothing other than selfishness and greediness..... they have nothing to offer humanity.....in general....

How does Tinubu bowing to greet 90year old Dantata directly affect you or Nigeria in anyway?

cyril10:
Eye service which they are good at, very shameless people.

Part of the reasons why Nigerian Politics is like the way it is is that only a small group of Nigerians actively participate in politics.


Majority of Nigerians are like you. They make noise and complain about politicians on social media, newspapers and sometimes on broadcast media but the politicians are in the field attending ward, rallies, congresses and campaigns of their political parties, so how can you have the same results?


Tinubu is playing his politics on the field but you are abusing and cursing him on social media instead of you to Join the mobilization and campaign for for your candidate to defeat him.


Whether he becomes president or not,he will remain influential and gain from whoever becomes the president while you will just keep on complaining.

merits:
well done sir continue bowing,they will betray you las las,go and ask MKO in your dream.

You aren't interested in any candidate that can solve the problems of armed Banditry, create employment or revamp the economy but you are only interested in how to prevent Mr Tinubu from becoming the president.

babasolution:
How come the north also ruled during military era,Yoruba should campaign,win associations and friends all over with dignity,you don't need to stoop or bow to lesser beings because of population, if the Yorubas use their power strategically they can beat the north comfortably,minorities rule in many instances,but the Yorubas are not very effective people

It's like you did Ph.D in 'problems of the Yorubas'

clarocuzioo:
Sure, it's a democracy. At least one thing am sure of is sane Nigerians will not vote for a greedy Chicago drug baron and bullion van thief.

Bros, elections aren't won by the assumption that nobody will vote for the candidate you hate but by how many voters vote for your candidate.

OneCandleAway:
He will never bow to a yoruba king like that

Tinubu prostrate for Pa Ayo Adebanjo

DaveHarry:

Politicians and their "selfish" cleverness. Well he is right in the points he made, but the question I would like to point out is this:
*Was it arranged for the judicial panel to create these loopholes in the report given, so that the federal government can find them, and use them as an escape route out of the allegations and multiple evidence given?*

If you want to prove a case of murder in court, you will first need to establish verifiable identities of those killed viz-a-viz their full names, ages, sex, addresses and pictures and witnesses.

ransomed:
May God visit your family with the kind of deceit you visit on Nigerians.

You can't win a case of murder in court with this kind of sentiments.

poiZon:
Iam smart enough to identify who is a dunce and who isnt.

Is tinubu's daughter a lawyer or doctor?
What course did she study in school?

There is one guy in akwaibom, idorenyin rapheal, he is the SA to Govr Udom on matket matters.
He did his job so well, atleast we all saw the outcome of the 2019 guber election were udom trounce nsima in all the 31LGAs.

Excuse me, excuse me sir, are you saying that anyone who doesn't study Law or Medicine is automatically a dunce?
