You want to be a world-class personality with Yoruba mentality.

Nawaoo!


😳😳😳😳

Think of Soyinka. Think of Adebayo Ogunlesi. Think of Tope Awotona.

Don't be daft, think. Use your head to think

I'm igbo but I appreciate what he is doing.
He is doing well. So many bitter comments from people who cannot afford to buy pure water for somebody.

Listen, you out there, as long as you're a Yoruba, partly or fully, you're destined for greatness. It's in your DNA. Never settle for less. However, if you're not the type to exert yourself, it's OK too, just do everything never to bring shame to this clan.

Just always remember the virtue to remain humble while succeeding and achieving greatness.

What is your olodo braggart balabu-ing about?

How is Yoruba destined for greatness with this show in NYC rather than scamdemic slum of Lagos?
The slum that ebilokan's 26 year old master plan has created. A master plan for raising IGR from the people, receiving federal allocation on their behalf plus loans just to loot, to steal and to rob.

(The Economist)

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.

The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.

“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.

What part of Nigeria is not tribalistic?
Definitely not the SE, where the five states gave Pandora Bitter Obi 100% votes to unwittingly help ebilokan get his turn at continuing APC shege of worsening extreme poverty, unemployment, hyperinflation, blackouts, corruption and insecurity?

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

But honestly, the one he did previously was enough.

No. These people have conquered the world.

Soyinka has a Nobel Prize, it's the most prestigious award in the world. You can count how many people has had in since time, despite the world having housed >10 billion people. It's even more difficult to see Blacks winning it. For the perspective, Achebe did all he could, and exerted himself, yet he didn't even smell nomination for the award. Besides, Soyinka went to jail for 2 years because of the whole of Igbos, when their ancestors were being plagued—that's humanity from Soyinka's part, a man who stood for something.

For Adebayo Ogunlesi, that one is achieving really high in the lands of the Whites. With shares in UK airports and others, he cares about uplifting humanity through businesses and successes than he ever could care about you bitter Okoro. You bitter Okoro who people contribute nothing to the country than fake foods and drink that kill kidney and livers of people.

Tope Awotona left Lagos since 15, he got to America, fell and rose, and competed among the Whites and proffered solution for them and the world. Chances are you, okechuku, should be using Calendly to better your work schedule and life, but you couldn't, because you understand nothing about the corporate world. You would rather import fake drugs and electronics in Ladipo or Alaba, to kill people indirectly, and shout money na water...

It's not as if GWR pays.

Somebody that's already chopping MTN money.....his own is to play for 70hrs and win the record.....

Leave the rest for publicist and talent managers...they know how to connect endorsement with talent..... U go shock say u go start to dey see am for movies very soon

Worst case scenario, he will use his current status to get talent visa enter UK or US, collect citizenship....

This guy inspires me a lot.

For how many years was Onitsha the FCT compared with Lagos that was made Nigeria's FCT in 1914, such that

- airports,
- seaports,
- electricity,
- water,
- mass transit,
- bridges,
- primary & secondary schools
- tertiary institutions

and other amenities, facilities, services and utilities were funded by the FGN to enable private businesses thrive with HQs there?

UWC. Look lady, being Yoruba is even enough for anyone! Because being Yoruba means striving for greatness, adding poise, class, humility and fun to it. A true Yoruba don't feel the great unless he's reached the apogee, man or woman. If you are a Yoruba too, wherever you are, despite being a lady, you can achieve a lot by donning the Yorubas mindset—Tope Amusan, Funke Dele, Eniola Aluko, Oshoala, countless wonderful professors (too many of them pioneered the world of academics in Nigeria).

I swear we were taught. I swear. I would come on here to relax, then I'll be seeing barrage of attack on us. Yet, we're a bit conservative, we prefer being defensive to attacking. It's that that is bringing the vitriol in us.

Look I bet you'll find the shores of Africa and the world and I swear you'll never find many group of people more cordial than we are. We embrace everyone. We hospitalize and bare discriminate. But you people take that for granted. You insult us and throw dirts on us. We who strive for greatness and can't condone dirts, we don't appreciate testing our limits.

I don't understand what you mean by insult, that I told you the truth how is it an insult?

We can operate within you people even when it's only one Igbo person and still we can never feel offended or cheated when you are speaking your language but how many Yorubas can do that?

We come to your place not withstanding all the challenges we face, our business destroyed, ominile and all what not, still we build houses and do business in your region.

But just let a Yoruba man come to the east and meet some little challenges, he will shout as if we are seeing beds of Roses.

I know what my younger brother encountered building a house at Aja Lagos state.

So calm down you are not better, forget about all the propaganda.

See the mentality you are displaying right here is exactly why Nigeria is the way it is!! He is building a reputation and a legacy for generations through a hobby albeit chess.

Do you also know he makes chartitable contributions to schools and children from poor backgrounds across Nigeria and the US? Also Chess improves mental dexterity, toughness and tactical thinking? It also staves off cognitive decline in later years?

I just don’t understand this infantile and ignorant way of thinking that everything has to revolve around money and living ostentatiously
