Anambra is a Yoruba land according to history. A Yoruba man who founded Anambra went to market but he got a call that some visitors were waiting for him, on his way home, he saw a shop where they were selling bras and decided to get for his wife which took him longer than necessary. When he got home and they asked him why he returned late, he said *'àn ńá brà'* (meaning we were bargaining bra price) that's how they came up with the name, Anambra.

Guy you are very funny 😂😂😂

Shebi all of us are now historians, let's continue that way.

Happy new week to you

Me: I tell you. It was Ọọni Abewela who established Onitsha as a market town. He named it Oonirisha market but when his non Yoruba slaves, the Igbo wanted to pronounce it, they got it wrong and called it 'Onitsha'. It is time we claimed our heritage.

2. Alaafin Adegoolu established Enugu. He once married a strange but beautiful girl. He loved her so much because of her beauty. Her teeth was perfect, a reason why Alaafin used to refer to her as 'ẹnu gún rege' which was shortened to 'enugun'.
There was fight among Oloris and Alaafin did not want Enugun to be deformed due to fight so he sent her to his newly established farm settlement far in the East and even ordered people to join her there. When the new settlement was getting larger, people asked the Alaafin what name would the place be called. Alaafin replied that "let us name it after my wife Enugun." That is how the place was named and after a long time, it metamorphosed to Enugu.
Kaaaaaabiesi o!

Craze no be monopoly of a people😁😆😀

The whole of the eastern region as we know it now belongs to the Yoruba people. During the reign of Orompoto in Oyo Kingdom, there was an invasion by the people of Cameroon. They laid siege on Oyo and kidnapped the beautiful daughter of Orompoto. Oyo army gave chase and after a turtuous journey, they caught up with the ramping army, fought with them and rescued Orompoto's daughter. The place where they caught up with them became acamp of Orompoto's

gimakon:

And Igbos have one or half state abi?
Pack well oga. You can never make me hate them for any reason. I speak Igbo, I speak Yoruba, I Speak hausa, I speak Efik and Ibibio too.

The problem you have maybe because they are wealthier than your tribe. I agree they have bad people in that tribe, but that tribe do not have anything that looks like problems with other tribes. They pay their tax, go about their businesses, You yorubas are discriminatory , segregatory and what have you.
We now know the problem of Nigeria, the only thing is , not all of you are like this. The good ones amongst you will suffer for things that do not in anyway make sense.

So much for someone who bragged that there was a fictitious mandate to reclaim.

The best Peter Obi and his lawyers could come up with was cheap blackmail against Tinubu, Shettima and INEC.

I've read the whole 99 pages of his petition and the only particular facts about the results of the elections being rigged against him are in Rivers State and Benue State which if reversed is less than 200,000 votes in paragraphs 62 and 64 respectively. It will still make him third after Atiku.

You said you won the elections, what has character assassination targeted at getting obidîots excited on social media got to do with reclaiming a delusional stolen mandate?

The case only makes Pandora more hated outside the southeast and his chances of ever getting to Aso Rock slimmer.

Filing petition is like buying a ticket to contest. It doesn't mean you will win. In 2019 when he was Atiku's vice, he filed it against Buhari and was thrashed. 2023 they are filing it separately and are bound to fail.

He has no case and Jagaban has come to stay.

Faber:
You will discover why Fulani and British dey fear us. We run am on Abiola through Arthur Nzeribe though Abiola won fair and square...we go still run am on ur Tinubu, this time the whole world will support us.

Awolowo ❌
Abiola ❌
Tinubu❌
Obasanjo✔️

If you be tribalistic Yorubastard politician, we go run you street, you no fit enter Aso Rock. Watch and see

LegacyB:
Well just to remind you again Igbos have 5 states . Why not fight for the sixth instead of asking some with 6 to fight for 7.
Even in your 5 state 2 election out of 4 were declared inconclusive.

gimakon:
You no sabi how them day do am, you for kuku write say Igbos no get any state.
Nonsense.

November1857:
That drug Lord must return that stolen mandate to the rightful owner......

AutoConsult:
In all you've said now, you have removed Atiku. You forgot Atiku took a huge chunk of the Muslim votes? Combine the power of Atiku's Muslim votes and that of Tinubu, you know what they can produce? In future elections, they can easily say okay, we'll run with a Muslim Muslim ticket. They can meet other major parties trying to run with Muslim candidates, convince them to work as one, and we both know the Muslims are always united. Now tell me how the Christians can match their population.

If the Church don't desist from this show of shame they displayed this campaign and election season, that is what will happen in the future. We must not show this mush hatred towards the Muslim community.

You said it yourself that it was a political move, but the church didn't see it that way. They claim they are trying to Islamise the country. They did the same thing when Buhari contested in 2015. Osinbajo was Buhari's running mate for f**k sake. I know how many people I tried to convince that there was no way Buhari could Islamise Nigeria. Why do I have to start convincing people on that?? The Church need to stop this thing. I'm a Christian and I'm talking as one. We need to be careful.

AutoConsult:
It's sad Christian have been killed in their place of worship. But insecurity in Nigeria has not been against the Christians alone. Mosques have been blown up too. Muslims have been killed too by terrorists. Both Christians and Muslims are being kidnapped.

These are political killings and not a religious war as y'all keep trying to paint it. Politicians are evil. They'll do anything to win elections. I hope everyone responsible for such atrocities meet their waterloo. But please y'all should stop playing this victim card. Arrrghhhhh

Cantonese:
Look, ethnicism, tribalism and religion played a large part in the elections. Politicians succeeded in showing making ordinary Nigerians suffer from all, in the name of power play. The truth is that the country is on a precipice. A little fight and a major ethnic or religious war will break out.

The problem with the PDP was one man - Atiku. His ambition and desperation cost the party the Presidency. Combine the votes of Atiku, Obi and Kwakwanso and you”ll understand it. The miscalculation of the bribe receiving members of the PDP, beclouded their sense of judgement. Obi took the steam out of PDP and the rest as they say, became history.

So irrespective of the Muslim/Muslim ticket, with PDP intact, APC would have been history.

MightySparrow:
How long is too long?

AutoConsult:
I quite agree with your submission. APC had no business winning that election. Obi and the G5 handed them the victory on a plate.

jamace:
it will be appropriately determined by concerned Nigerians.

MightySparrow:
Nigerians or the court. Do concerned nigerians dictate to the Court?

Cantonese:
That’s the long and short of it all bro.

Hopefully we can discuss other topics with decorum like this.

Cheers.

Faber:
Who be Fayose? Them impeached Fayose, Joshua Dariye and Peter Obi in 2006..
Fayose ran away to his farm planting cassava
Dariye went back to planting maize and yam
Peter Obi went to court and upturned his impeachment as a man he is. A smart gentle tiger no dey make noise...

Once again who be Fayose 🤣🤣

jamace:
Citizens can dictate to any arm of govt when the time is ripe.

Power belongs to the people.
