DeOTR: Any vow not backed by law is a waste of time. You know it, so stop begging to be an OTP. An Igbo man will eventually lead Nigeria, but it will never be you, the "Yes Daddy" crooner. Nobody is going to believe you especially when they can just wait 4 more years for Tinubu to finish his terms. With the posture of the core north, if peradventure Tinubu win in 2027, they should kiss presidency goodbye until 2047 because he'll make sure he hands over to someone from North Central and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Lies that calculation is wrong Tell me the North Central person that you think they can Prevail Kwankwaso, Shettima, Almodu Sherif
Movement wey no get direction. If they are wise enough dey would have stay back in Lp. Coalescing their movement with other parties weaken the movement
benuejosh: The desperation of this man concerning the Presidency is scary. It can be likened to the desperation of a man who will promise to put only the cap in the cookie.
Penguin2: News made front page here on Nairaland of how VDM called out Governor Hope Uzodimma for hosting only Igbo players out of the Falcons squad.
But here are pictures of Govs Adeleke and Sanwolu of Osun and Lagos respectively, hosting only Yoruba players of the Falcon squad.
VDM never made a video to call them out. But because Uzodimma did same thing, VDM turned on his ring light and started cursing Uzodimma. And the question is to what end? What was VDM’s aim doing that video? What did he hope to achieve?
Why are the rules always applied differently when Igbos are involved?
Mrfixitt: Seun, you this dude calling his papa foolish and your bot and the mods won't do anything but if it's the other way round their dicks will get erected. No issue
No mind those fools If the table turn now dem go dey cry
Finquas: VDM they have been hosted and rewarded by the federal Govt ... If a state Govt decides to host separate dinner afterwards on whatever criteria.. it's their discretion. We shouldn't see everything in this country from an ethnic bias Moreso VDM lied that it is only igbo falcons he hosted ..but I have reliable information that it is falcon players and crew from imo state only that he hosted.. You see why when you are an ethnic champion.. your natural sense of objective reasoning becomes blurred in balablu bulaba style
One thing I hate about you people, u don't speak truth to yourself.
Why can't he host them as a team
If Sanwolu had hosted only Yoruba players u will be there shouting Tribaling, your region is too engross with tribalism
Shawarmagirl: What is breaking about the news? Which North are you talking about? Is it the same North Atiku, Elrufia, Malami, AREWA, Northern Elders Forum, and co are or another North? The governor want to tickle agbadorians and Tinubu.
Oga shut it Let people from the north talk
You are just mentioning names Hellrufail does not hold any water politically again in the north same with Atiku,
Was Atiku dead 2023. Oga quiet
The same way u shouted in 2023 Una no dey tire if madness
kettykin: What would be the potential economic, social, and political implications if the Igbo people across Nigeria and the diaspora decided to boycott all products and services of companies headquartered in Lagos this is including schools, churches, FMCGs, fintechs, and other institutions as a form of protest against perceived bigotry and actions like the renaming of streets? How might such a boycott unfold, and what are the possible consequences for both sides?
A mass Igbo boycott of Lagos-headquartered companies would be a seismic move with far-reaching economic, social, and political consequences. Here's a breakdown of how such a boycott could play out:
Economic Implications For Lagos-based Companies:
Revenue Disruption: Igbo consumers form a major part of Nigeria’s consumer economy, particularly in the southeast and south-south regions. FMCG companies (e.g., Nestlé, Unilever), fintechs (e.g., Paystack, Flutterwave), and telecoms would likely experience significant revenue shortfalls.
Supply Chain Strain: Many Igbos dominate distribution and retail logistics. A disruption in these networks could paralyze product movement in the east and beyond.
Brand Damage: Accusations of enabling or being complicit in ethnic bias could hurt long-term brand equity, especially in an increasingly woke, social media-driven landscape.
For the Igbo Community:
Short-term Inconvenience: Alternatives to dominant Lagos-based companies may be limited, especially in fintech, telecom, and education sector
At least fake product go reduce
Shift Toward Indigenous Innovation: Over time, this boycott could accelerate the growth of Igbo-owned brands, startups, and services, creating a parallel economic ecosystem.
Social & Cultural Impact Deepened Ethnic Divides: This would escalate already-tense ethnic sentiments and could lead to retaliatory actions in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria.
Cultural Awakening: The movement may also awaken a sense of cultural pride and push for self-reliance, similar to the 1950s Aba Women's Riot or the 1967 Biafra economic survival efforts.
Religious and Educational Fallout: Boycotting Lagos-based churches and schools (many of which are multiregional or globally affiliated) may fracture spiritual and intellectual alliances, possibly creating space for Igbo-owned institutions to rise in prominence.
Political Repercussions Heightened National Dialogue: A mass boycott would force political leaders to confront long-ignored grievances, especially around federal equity, marginalization, and restructuring.
International Attention: If well-coordinated, such a movement could attract global media and human rights attention—particularly if framed around systemic exclusion or cultural erasure.
Reform or Retaliation?: The federal and state governments could either respond with reforms (dialogue, policy shifts, street name reversals), or escalate the conflict with political crackdowns, economic pressure, or propaganda.
Strategic Outcomes Short-Term Chaos: Price volatility, product unavailability, and media outrage.
Medium-Term Adaptation: Companies may try to localize operations outside Lagos or create Igbo-targeted PR strategies.
Long-Term Transformation: Emergence of a dual economic axis—Lagos vs. Onitsha/Nnewi/Aba—as a counterbalance in Nigerian commerce.
Conclusion Such a boycott would not be without sacrifice, but if carefully orchestrated, it could serve as a powerful protest tool—not just to demand equity but to shift power structures and redefine economic narratives in Nigeria. However, without clear goals and strategic leadership, it risks becoming a divisive act with limited gains.
