Do you even expect anything good from a country full of nepotism and corruption? It's in Nigeria where someone is appointed for a position not because the person is qualified but because the person is related or the person assisted in doing one evil that helped them. At the end of the day, the person will be doing trial and error and the masses bear the consequences

Its football one team must win and Nigeria made it to the finals.Egypt couldn't even make it beyond group stage.
We can discuss politics another day.For today allow the ghost of Biafra to rest in peace.

nlreserve:
Even if all the players are igbos, it doesn't change the fact that Nigeria is our enemy while ivory coast is our friend.
It doesn't change the fact that corruption has buried Nigeria and everyone is paying for it in one way or the other.
It doesn't change the fact that in Nigeria, a northern person would score less than a southern person and while the northern person would be given admission, the southern person is not given because of the so called quota system. If the people of Nigerians can not be allowed to develop at their own pace, why not divide the country so everyone can develop at their own pace?
So long as corruption is core part of Nigeria, I will continue to hate the forsaken country until it is divided

Biafra is unnecessary discusion this night go and sleep.
Every Igbo person want to move on from the chaos you so called Biafrans has brought to them in the last few years with nothing to show for all the killings and destructions.The agitation is now back to square one while MNK cools his ass off in DSS cell.Abeg make una rest.

AbaganaMiracle:
I am working to bring down your cesspit and that must be accomplished this year 2024. Ojukwu died a Biafran and this every reasonable person know. Only mumus like you cesspit inhabitants are trying to attach your lazy selves to Ojukwu.

Mouth action
Nnamdi Kanu junior .
Pictures speaks more than a thousand words.
Ojukwu given military burial by Nigeria army

AbaganaMiracle:
Keep crying. What matters to us is that your cesspit lost to Ivory Coast. Those Igbos that played for your cesspit are saboteurs.

The Igbo players are living their best lives why bitter loser like you still live in the dark shadows of Biafra.
Anyway I think you bot

AbaganaMiracle:
Your cesspit lost to Ivory Coast and we are happy. Ojukwu died as a Biafran, Continue to cry us a river until we bring down your cesspit. May nations cup kee you there.

Na you bitterness go kee.Ojukwu was a Nigerian politician who ran for the office the presidency twice only losers like you are still living in the ghost of Biafra.You will die a bitter wretched man if you do not move on.

nlreserve:
You that is sensitive, is Ipob responsible for the rising hardship in Nigeria?

They are not but ippobbians are known to be irresponsible rascals the reason you smuggled Biafra into discusion in a night Nigeria lost a game in the finals and half of those players or more are of Igbo origin.

AbaganaMiracle:
Waoohh!! Very good news that Ivory Coast won the cup. Any Igbo found supporting nigeria must have his brain examined. Ivory Coast is the country that gave refuge to our eternal leader Ikemba Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, so they deserve our support and we are happy that they beat the hell out of the terrorist country called nigeria to win the cup.

You are speaking for yourself because Ojukwu became a pan Nigerian the day he accepted amnesty from FG till he died and buried in Nigeria colours so you ain't speaking for him either..ippoobbians should go and rest.

nlreserve:
1. Ivory Coast assisted Biafra during its trying times (the Nigerian civil war).
2. The APC that knows how to blame anything for their cluelessness would have claimed the glory. Already, the politicized NFF already stated in a daily newspaper that the eagles would win the trophy for Tifnubu.

How do you expect Nigeria to win when corruption has eaten deep into every corner of Nigeria, the super eagles included.

ippobbians are very insensitive and brainless.

I do not think Obansanjo will waste his time to write Tinubu whom he campaigned against during the election.
Obasanjo will feel vindicated.

Who brought Buhari that Nigerians rejected 3 good times and have already given up before Tinubu made him president.
Tinubu should be blamed for the sins of APC.He is the architect of hardship Nigerians are facing today.

The whole team performed below average.The worst Nigeria team to play finals with their defensive pattern of play.

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says Nigeria’s problems require spiritual solution.
Adeboye, who was in Kaduna, expressed confidence that though the problems seem to have persisted and in some areas getting worse, they will not last forever.
He also said his tour of Nigeria, which brought him to Kaduna, was not just to organize crusade and pray for the people, but an opportunity to gather people together to let them know that “tomorrow is going to be alright if Nigerians can be a little more patient with God”.
“I have come again this time around because it is has become more and more clearer to us that, the problems our nation is facing is more than political. Our problems will require quiet a bit of spiritual solution.


“We as a country are blessed; we are blessed with people with great intelligence, we are blessed with all manners of resources and yet we have so many problems.
“And it is not as if people in authority are not trying their best; they are doing as much as humanly possible. And then we found out that when you have problems that are beyond human ability to solve them, then, you call on the Almighty. The reason we call Him Almighty is because He has the power to solve all problems.” he said.

The pastor said as much as leaders were doing their very best to help solve the country’s problems, they seem to have persisted and in some areas, got worse.
“That is why we have been going round holding crusade and the crusade are just a means of gathering people together to let them know tomorrow is going to be all right if we can be a little more patient with God.
“We believe very strongly that people need this kind of encouragement, so that they don’t lose hope. Because when they lose hope, they do all kinds of strange things; many of our youths for example are running out of the country, forgetting that those countries they are running to also have their own problems and then those who cannot run anywhere, we don’t want a situation where people begin to think of taking their own lives,” he said.

In his response, Governor Uba Sani, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led government needs prayers and support of clerics like Adeboye to succeed.
According to Governor Sani, Adeboye had, at different times, led interventions aimed at directing the political leadership to the path of justice and fairness.
“We also believe sir, that from the remarks you made just now, that our country at this critical time requires intervention from people like you who are tested and who have in the past intervened and helped us to find solutions to our problems. We believe you won’t be tired, we also need an intervention at this critical time.
“Like you said, many Nigerians are loosing hope and they have been very cautious about the future but like I said, we are going through difficulties because of what happened in the past and right now we have a President who is determined and focused and ready to take the country to a greater height and I have no doubt, with your intervention and prayers, our President will certainly get it right,” Gov Sani said.
beyond political.

Here comes the KORN MAN....Coming with his korn plan. We no go take no bribe. We no go listen to them fake pastors... repeat *2...working for fantastically corrupt government to deceive the people.

Northerners will drag Tinubu and Yoruba m0slems instead of attacking northerners they will bring ipob into the banter to distract the northerners.

nairalanda1:
Nope, getting rid of influence of colonial leaders does not mean good leadership...and it does not mean I support continued rule from London, Paris, or even new rule from Moscow.

At the end, we have bad leaders, and that is independent of whoever colonial power is ruling us. Infact, the Western nations want us to do well. Because that means

1.A large consumer base with disposable income for their products

2.Black people don't come running to their countires in the name of japa

3.Cheaper manufactued goods and servicies.

A chronically poor Africa is a big problem for western nations.


Like I said, USA virtually runs Korea south and Japan. Yet both countries are working well...and no it is not because white people think Asians are equal to them...racisim towards Asians is a thing....but because their leaders chose to run their countries well, and crucially, they let the free market do its thing.

Here in Nigeria we subsidise power and the petrol sector...which forces both sectors to run at a loss, which means that we cannot have energy to fuel industrial growth and development, because we think that that energy should be so cheap.

Meanwhile, most of our income comes from selling raw materials whose prices we do not control.

We want russian help for the same reason we want chinese help. Free stuff. We don't want to build things for ourselves. Same reason why we followed the colonial leaders. Free stuff.

ANd we got bad government because we think that good economics means sharing money equitably. Rubbish. Good economics means being productive. We are not productive, which is why we are broke.

ANd russia is an empire too by the way, and used to colonise just as bad as other European nations. They did it to Asians and other European countries, which is why you don't see it here.

Those four west African nations has made their choice to booth out France from their country.Respect that.
The anti France military coup that took over those countries wouldn't have succeeded if France was not exploiting the people and their natural resources.

Leonyluiz:
Are you retarded? The four so called freed african countries. Have you seen what russian military did in those regions?

Are you a psychopath?What did they do that your colonial masters didn't worse?

Minsk24:
What partnership is the Russians offering that is very different? Will the sahel states not pay for Russian security services? If the sahel states dont wise up and keep their house in order, will Russia fold its arms and do nothing?
Do u not think that the Russians will be closely watching politics in these countries in order to protect their interests. ? If a new leader of niger comes in tomorrow and is considered a threat to kremlins interest..do u feel Putin will sit on his hands? Will he not look for loophole to sponsor a coup or to destabilize the state?

Russia offered them a better deal than their former colonial master has over the centuries and if Russia at any time become a disappointment the host nations have every right to pullout of whatever agreement they have made with them.

nairalanda1:
So why couldn't these leaders be corruption free

Japan and South korea have had their leaderships imposed by the west since time immemorial. Even many European nations since world war 2 self.

Good governance is a choice. Go to many african countries and you will see leaders choosing to do evil

Then there is Botswana whose first leader was imposed by the west, and who laid the foundation for good governance

Lumumba would have been as sit right as mobutu. All the antiwestern leaders of africa have been corrupt and messed up as have the pro western leaders. Mugabe was chanting down with whites while his country was messed up.

We have to get rid of influence of our colonial powers only can we have leaders with interest of the people at heart.
Russia offers partnership that will benefit both sides while UK and France are here to exploit our people and the resources.

gidgiddy:
Putin is a fool. This is the modern age where you force nobody to be with you, even if you are brothers. It does not matter what relationship exists between Ukrain and Russia, neither should force the other into any sort of union

If either side wants to be unified, it must be by concensus, not war. To invade a place and claim you are doing it because of past history is nonsensical

What Putin should do is insist on referendum, not war.

I want Biafra to come, but I want it to come by democratic referendum, not war

If you ippobbians have 0.1% of power and resources that Putin and Russia has you will force the whole of southern Nigeria and Ambazonia in South Cameroon to become Biafra.We all saw what you did when you acquired stolen AK47s and starting enforcing sit at home on everyone in southeast without consideration for emergency situations(those who are sick) or get killed.

Minsk24:
Oga stop blaming France for the woes of these African states in the sahel, this is what u get when u have inept and corrupt leaders ,laced with tribalism...go and read and understand the origin of instability in that region, it is only wise that a foreign power takes advantage of foolishness of a government....
For example, the tuaregs in northern Mali have been asking for more autonomy since independence, their land has enormous mineral deposit, the southern tribes have kept on marginalizing them, the result is insurgency, and u have such issues across the other nations, there are structural issues that needs to be solved...if u solve these issues, u reduce the chances of negative foreign influence....
If Nigeria collapses tomorrow, someone will come and blame Britain, meanwhile the politicians are the root cause of failure....there are other african countries with French influence, but they have wisdom to manage their affairs to reduce the impact of foreign powers

So who are those enabling,imposing and supporting,sustaining the inept and corrupt leaders in Africa?
Who conspired and killed our true and great African leaders like Patrice Lumumba and imposed corrupt and inept leaders like Mobutu Sese Seko?

Minsk24:
There is no saint, Liberated my left foot, Russia is looking for influence, nobody is a saint, if the four African countries dont play their games well, they will still become pawns

Yeah it is all about infleunce and mutual benefit which no African country can claim to have under Anglo/Franco pre and post colonial arrangements.Allow those 4 nations to try Russian influence and see how it tastes.

TopBanter:
You’re a kid in an adult body. What shows this most? Kids live in fantasy land where they are giants and superheroes.

Adult accept their limitations and give others credit when due especially if the stand-out achievements and talent of others is overwhelming and indisputable.

You can deny all you want and mention scanty evidence of Barcelona penning some send off message in Igbo but even your people who have stepped outside Nigeria know that Yoruba culture and essence is essentially perceived as definitive of Nigeria.

Keep living in denial. Your empty megalomania warrants that.

You continue to throw tantrum like the spoiled child that you are because he can't dispute the facts I layed out in my comment.
I have live abroad for decades and all I see mostly are Igbos everywhere except in Uk where Yoruba have solid presence.
Yoruba are doing well in music no body can take that away from them just like Igbos are representing in football.

what is a better evil....??

are their levels to evil....

evil is evil....!!
simple....
stop confusin your black selfs....

better learn to take care of yourselves than relyin on people completly different than you....

Understand it however you can.

kettykin:
I am not a fan of putin or Russia because of the role soviet union played against the emergence of Biafra, everything putin is accusing the west of is what Russia is quilty of .

Go and check countries civil war were Russia backed a side and the level of atrocities that Russian backed sides committed against defenseless people, check north Korea vs south Korea, Vietnam War, world War 2, Nigerian Civil War , the Syrian war etc.


Russia will pay double for its atrocities. The only country that looks like it will suffer more than Russia until It is wiped off the face the world looks like Nigeria , Nigeria is battling serious economic decline, internal strife and civil war against insurgents, rise of hunger induced crime like banditry, kidnapping, Ransome taking, free fall of the currency ,infrastructure decay, over inflation and deflation at the same time. Nigeria's case is more interesting,in that leadership has failed and hyenas and vultures have vested in themselves the control of the animal kingdom away from the lions

You gave all the curses to Russia but nothing to those who raped,kidnapped,sold millions of Igbos into slavery and finally caged us in Nigeria,I mean Britain.Russia has just liberated four African nations from French neo colonialism.They are by far the better evil than Europeans.

TopBanter:
Your utterance here exposes the limitation of the average Igbo mind because it operated at a feudal, vindictive and hateful level always in total disregard for facts and reality.

lliteracy is common throughout Nigeria and no one will tell you Yorubas are exempt from that reality of our nation.

Yet I dare you to prove that any ethnic group is more progressively, productively and influentially educated than Yorubas in Nigeria and even the world beyond Africa.

For example, popular Nigerian culture, as perceived outside the border of Nigeria, is overwhelmingly Yoruba. When the Nigerian accent was voted one of the sexiest in the world recently, specific mention was made of King Sunny Ade and the actress Omotola. No tribute to Igbos or any other Nigerians of non-Yoruba ethnicity.


How is all this possible if Yorubas are not amongst the most exemplarily charismatic, educated and naturally intelligent Nigerian ethnic groups as you envious Igbos are obsessed with convincing the world the opposite is the case?

Looking forward to a day one can have an intellectually sound and emotions-free discussion with an Igbo, where all parties defer to the facts and realities as pertains to the ethnic groups of Nigeria, is like waiting to see Pigs fly. Will never happen.

The Yoruba are the most hateful and vindictive tribe in Nigeria no contest.You exposed how vindictive and primitive you Yorubas can be during the last election and after election in Lagos state for the whole world to see just to impose this most incompetent and clueless Tinubu on the rest of Nigerians.Ndi Igbo as well have made their mark at world stage and are no push overs.If Igboland are to be a nation she will be a giant in Africa both in entertainment,politics,sports and economy etc...
At bolded is not true.Yoruba has some influence in some countries while Igbo influence is noticable in many countries too for example Barcalona fc recently used Igbo language to bid farewell to their Yoruba outstanding player Asisat Oshola.That is how dominant Igbo culture is in Spain.And finally you can't tell ndi Igbo what they should do or not or what to say or not say.

TopBanter:
It is time someone pointed out to you guys the patent folly and lack of intelligence of saying “Igbos warned about Buhari and Tinubu”.


The statement reeks of cobbling all Igbos together as a cult-like people who take clan decision instructed downward by cult leaders like Kanu, Ekpa etal.

Any intelligent person will realize it is impossible to say Igbo, from illiterate street traders to PHD holders, all have the same political opinion when that is patently senseless because grasp and understanding of political considerations differ considerably from person to person.


You don’t see Yorubas ever saying “Yorubas warned about” this and that because every Yoruba patently accept their own right, and that of others, to make free and independent choices. This freedom of choice reflects in how we vote, intermarry, host/empower fellow Nigerians and relate to others.

The day anyone begins saying “Yorubas warned about this or that person is the very day Yorubas themselves will caution you to speak for yourself and not the entire Yoruba ethnic group.

That you Igbos all love bragging about taking blanket choices and decision, about electoral candidates, hints at your clannish, hateful, intolerant and discriminatory nature even if you don’t have the intellect to appreciate that.

You are so used to being bullies of opinion and thinking of fellow Igbos, so all your kinsmen face the same hateful direction with no dissent allowed, you don’t even realize how you sound to balanced and open-minded people who understand there are certain choices that must be matters of individual choice and never clan or forced agreement.

It was from Igbos we saw literally a million times, before the election, statements of emotional blackmail like “any Igbo that does not vote for Obi must be banished from Igbo land” and “Any Igbo that votes Tinubu is a bastard Efulefu”. Obidients gained the universally abiding reputation of being intolerant and abusive nuisances with the mindset of “it must be Obi alone”.

The truth is that the opinions and choices of Igbos are subtlely or overtly coerced with threats of alienation for Igbos who do not wish to toe the line.

You guys, with history bearing it out 100%, follow individuals, hate individuals and vote clannishly. You opposed Buhari and Tinubu because you hate their ethnicity and religion. Never because you are somehow all soothsayers or wise prophets.

Forget your long grammar.The fact of the matter is that majority of Igbos voted against Buhari and Tinubu's presidency and vigorously campaigned agaisnt them.But Yoruba can boast of sophisticated politics and most educated tribe even though they have millions of illiterates?

Why are they protesting?
They prefer tribalism and hunger than good leadership.
Tinubulation go kpai una....una go Tinubulate tire.

Jen002:
It's true tho

Who brought Buhari?

Peter Obi is the first world trillionaire and richest man now and in the future.
APCs are clowns

brain54:
"I know of no CBN governor in my lifetime (until Cardoso) who couldn’t articulate economic policies effortlessly. Even Godwin Emefiele had no difficulty defending his policies. You may question his competence or disagree with his policies, but he could at least clearly formulate thoughts about what he was doing. Cardoso gives me the jitters. Nigeria is in way worse trouble than it realizes with an airhead like that as CBN governor."

This part off me...

Anyway Tinubu also has a cult like following. But not as loyal as Buhari's. Many are beginning to shift loyalty!

Nobody actually loves Tinubu not even his wife.He was beaten in Lagos his political stronghold and lost in his native Osun state that is the difference between and Buhari.

What a big loss to the people of Ikwerre and Nigeria at large.

thelegend1:
With the current severe economic crisis being witnessed, I personally would give anything to have the Goodluck Jonathan regime back in power today.

Apart for the insecurity lapses which we have all seen were deliberately crafted by Nigerians who wanted to make the country ungovernable during his time, things were a thousand times better.

APC has not shown capacity or competence in any area of govt in over 8 years.

Under which party,APC or PDP?
Anyway GEJ is not a brave and courageous leader if not he would have run in last election but he is waiting to be appointed by the cabals.
