Na dis same fuulishness una do for Ghana which has led to the present predicament nigerians are facing over there.
How will you leave your own region/country and create a 'kingdom' in another region/country?

Izit that u ppl are primitively unevolved or plainly lunatics......or both??

Beremx:
So what will they be charged for and what is their offense? Why are you panicking because of a mere program concerning Igbo people?

The fear of an Igbo man...

It's not like that bro.
The ghanians are 'jerrus' of them, not knowing that they simply want to help them'deverrop' their country.

Ghanians are xenophobic!

yarimo:
3 developers want to develop Ghana by fire by force 😆, meanwhile this is very commendable from the Ghanaians Court

It has gone beyond a 'perhaps' matter.
Even in nigeria, mention just one tribe that is not tired and fed up with them!

Slytiger:
This could be why Ghanaians started sealing Nigerian shops yesterday. The video was trending on X and tiktok. Perhaps, they have had enough.

How do you expect the same sets of ppl insulting nigeria, calling her 'zoo' to protect the integrity of the same country they ghate outside??
They know exactly what they are doing nau.

Nevertheless, God pass all of them!

Naz34:
But seriously a lot of our people dont care to disgrace the name of Nigeria & their their tribal heritage as long as that criminal engagements will fetch them money.
Can we all please come together for once and talk to ourselves. The real facts & bad behaviours that must be put to an end by all means.

Thank God, the international community is beginning to know us by our tribes.

If it's nigeria, na d same una go begin cry: "what of bello turji", "what of Sunday igboho" "izit bcus they are igbós"? etc just to weaken the arm of justice.

Na so una go tribalize the matter so-tey the criminals will now turn victims.

Abeg-abeg!

dederocs:
This is a justice system serious about stopping crime.

Why is Nigeria filled with useless judiciary and politicians?

Evans that is supposed to be executed to serve as deterrence is being worshipped in jail.

Azin ehn!

Hexxah:
Can we just come together and give these people their Biafra. This embarrassment is just becoming unbearable.

Even if that one is too much for FG to do, let them be indicating our tribes on nigeria's international passports:
**Nigerian - igbó
**Nigerian -Yoruba
**Nigerian -Hausa
**Nigerian - ibibio
*Nigerian - Edo etc.

The world is a global village now o, so don't whyne yourself, moreso the current imbroglio concerning the igbó king who wanted to establish 'iggbo kingdom's in ghana.

It's before u guys can hide successfully under the name nigeria o. Now, everybody done know us by tribes!

LibertyRep:
Before the name checkers would do their things, just know that the Ghana court referred to them as Nigerians.

Abike Dabiri's commission should also lend a hand here. The trial must be seen to be fair.

So who asked you to use your own hand destroy your own land in the guise of secession thereby making it unviable for investments??

Don't worry, make una destroy am well well so that una vatw go dey go the regions wey get sense.

jmoore:
Lagos did not generate half of the VAT in Nigeria.

VAT is recorded on point of sale. Nigeria has no system of recording point of sale VAT deductions so it is false to say Lagos generates half of VAT in Nigeria.

Example: Someone will buy mtn recharge card in Aba, but the VAT will be credited to Lagos because MTN headquarters is in Lagos.

Reno Omokri should go for education. VAT is paid by the consumer, not by the company. The company is only acting as an agent to collect the VAT.

This 'thesis' has just described ipóbs/obidients.
Each point resonated with their rank and file!

UncleAyo:
In short: A demagogue thrives on emotional manipulation, division, and spectacle rather than reason, unity, and truth.


A demagogue is typically described as a political leader (or influencer) who gains power and popularity by appealing to people’s emotions, fears, prejudices, and desires rather than by using rational argument, truth, or sound policy. Historically, philosophers like Aristotle, and later political scientists, have outlined their traits. Here are the main attributes of a demagogue:

Core Attributes of a Demagogue

1. Appeals to Emotions over Reason
- Uses fear, anger, pride, or resentment to persuade rather than logical arguments.
- Exploits people’s hopes and anxieties.
2. Charismatic and Persuasive
- Often has strong oratory skills.
- Uses rhetorical devices, repetition, slogans, and dramatic language to stir crowds.
3. Populist Posturing
- Claims to be the “voice of the common people.”
- Portrays themselves as fighting against the “elites” or establishment.
4. Us-vs-Them Mentality
- Divides society into “the people” (good, pure, oppressed) versus “the enemy” (corrupt elites, foreigners, minorities, etc.).
- Creates scapegoats to rally people around a common adversary.
5. Exploits Prejudices
- Appeals to nationalism, racism, class resentment, or religious bigotry.
- Reinforces stereotypes to manipulate crowds.
6. False Promises & Simplistic Solutions
- Offers easy, one-line solutions to complex problems.
- Rarely provides workable policy details.
- Uses exaggeration and falsehoods.
7. Attacks Institutions & Norms
- Discredits the press, judiciary, or democratic checks when they oppose him/her.
- Paints institutions as corrupt or enemies of the people.
8. Cult of Personality
- Presents themselves as the only one who can “save” the nation or group.
- Encourages loyalty to the leader over loyalty to principles or laws.
9. Manipulates Communication
- Uses mass rallies, media, propaganda, or now social media to bypass critical discussion.
- Repeats claims until they are believed (“illusory truth effect”).
10. Authoritarian Tendencies
- Centralizes power in themselves.
- Shows disregard for democratic processes, often flirting with dictatorship.


Psychological & Social Tactics
1. Fearmongering: Warns of dire threats if not followed.
2. Victimhood Narrative: Claims that “the people” are oppressed and only he/she understands their suffering.
3. Aggressive Rhetoric: Uses insults, mockery, and ridicule against opponents.
4. Emotional Identification: Presents themselves as “one of you” while enjoying privileges of power.
5. Repetition & Symbolism: Heavy use of slogans, chants, and symbols to cement loyalty.



Here are succinct ways to identify a demagogue
Emotional Manipulation – Appeals to fear, anger, pride, or resentment more than facts or reason.
Us-vs-Them Rhetoric – Divides people into “the pure people” vs. “corrupt enemies.”
Scapegoating – Blames a group, minority, or outsider for society’s problems.
Populist Claims – Portrays self as the only true voice of the people against elites.
False Promises – Offers oversimplified solutions to complex issues.
Charismatic Oratory – Uses fiery speeches, slogans, and repetition to stir crowds.
Cult of Personality – Demands loyalty to the leader rather than principles or institutions.
Anti-Institutional Attacks – Discredits press, courts, or government checks as enemies.
Fearmongering – Warns of catastrophic outcomes if not followed.
Authoritarian Streak – Intolerant of dissent; paints critics as traitors or enemies.




🔎 Demagogue Detection Checklist
1. Do they rely more on stirring emotions than presenting facts or reasoned arguments?
2. Do they divide people into “us” (good, pure) vs. “them” (evil, corrupt)?
3. Do they single out a group or enemy to blame for society’s problems?
4. Do they claim to be the only true voice or savior of the people?
5. Do they make sweeping promises or overly simple solutions to complex issues?
6. Do they speak in fiery slogans, chants, or repeated catchphrases?
7. Do they demand personal loyalty rather than loyalty to principles, laws, or institutions?
.8 Do they attack or discredit institutions like the media, judiciary, or opposition?
9. Do they use fear or threats (“If you don’t follow me, disaster will strike”)?
10. Do they show intolerance for criticism or label dissenters as traitors?

Bikonu, she did not call igbbos monkeys and gorillas now, so how come out of the myriads of tribes in nigeria na only una felt offended?

Or Izit true that you guys are ....... and .......??
Is there sth that you guys know that you're not telling us??

@Dpharisee ewuoooo smartpolitician dogalmighty kings59 ofunaofu mrcoldsweat alpharoyalty brain54 tonesky

I thot as much.
Not that sane Nigerians don't know your choice already!

shortgun:
What is this one saying abeg.

Just appoint his son as a minister/DG of a parastatal and watch him blame AI sharp-sharp!

EmperorIsaac:
Until you appoint the person talking or anyone close to him.

If you had the opportunity of saving just one person from the mouth of the tiger among a yoruba man, a fulani man and an ipób supporter, who will it be?

shortgun:
To you every Igbo person is IPOB right?

You can only deceive yourselves.

Let's even assume this is true - and I have no reservation if it indeed is, shouldn't a sane iggboman ask himself "why are these ppl giving others 90yrs c/o and us only 15 years?".

Are u the only tribe in sw? How come everywhere you go - both home and abroad it's always the same story - ghana, South africa kenya, cambodia, indonesia, malaysia, india, china etc - and when the locals talk your only defence us "oh, they are tribalistic/xenophobic/jeruss of us"

Ecosystem4u:
What's with this needless validation the Yorubas are seeking, geographically Lagos is in the south west and by implication a Yoruba state, the problem with these people is inferiority complex. How on earth do you need constant reassurance to convince yourselves that Lagos is Yoruba state? What's wrong? Plz and plz to the Yorubas, Lagos is a Yoruba state, you don't need to prove it to anyone, do away with the palpable fear that Igbos want to take Lagos, we are here coexisting peacefully, acquiring properties and running businesses. An acquired land belongs to the buyer not the seller. The idea of 15 years CofO to Igbos is childish and will die a natural death. Your bigoted government most of whom are from neighboring south west state cannot change the land use act of Nigeria that provides for 99 years! You lots should not be so unfortunate with your obsession about the Igbos, you will only get burned and nothing more.

Ibo matter can be likened to someone who had already been coveting your wife; you - in your simplicity/innocence/sense of inclusiveness now start referring to her as "our wife" in public

A sane mind from a sane culture will understand what u mean, but your inate 'competition' will take that as an excuse to go for the 'kill'.

Just look at the way they twisted ooni of life's words about "Ugbos originated from ile-ife" which the olojukokoros twisted as "igbós originated from ile-ife".

We shd learn not to leave our fishes (unprotected) in the midst of stray cats to avoid stories that touch!

casualobserver:
I don't think so, i think he is just a sloppy person not particularly gifted upstairs. Lagos is indeed no man's land, the problem is the statement is a figure of speech but the [b] ibos take it literally.
it is not meant to be taken literally.

its the taking it literally that causes offense amongst the yorubas.

its like calling your dad's friend "Uncle" or your friend "brother", it doesnt make you blood relations. But imagine a non relative you have called "Uncle" or "brother" all your life now trying to struggle with you for your share of the family inheritance?

The day an igboman bcums d governor of lagos is d day we shall blv indeed that"lagos is a no man's land".
This task is too tedious sef! The day the name changes to lagos streets are reverted to their former igbo nomenclatures is the day we shall all agree that lagos is no man's land

As for now, keep digging your (political) graves.
Later u will say nigerians don't like you.
The reasons are not far-fetched.

Warmaterial:
But everybody knows that already, is just that the Yorubas don't understand some people when they say 'Lagos is no man's land'. Lagos is the only state in Nigeria where somebody from another state can be a governor especially the Yorubas. So the lagosians should try and understand this, everything no be fight. Lagos is yoruba state yes, but get it when is called a no man's land. Ekiti man can not be a governor of Oyo state but is possible in Lagos.

Which of the 'norths' Biko?
'Orumba north' or 'onitsha north'?

autoez:
Only Obi has the ability to rescue him. This is why we, in the north, have committed to giving Obi 99% support in 2027.

Same thing they are doing in lagos/nigeria is what they've exported to foreign countries.
Do proper documentation, una go say no.

You will draw first blood and when the consequences hit you in the face, u begin to fly the 'victim' card.

Bullet01:
South Africa remain a no go area for me. No matter what . Those niggas are mean, blunt and sour

This is one of the best thing to happen to nigeria.
It has lots of benefits apart this.
It will also help in the procurement of international passports.
We have lots of 'them' bearing passports impersonating other tribes just to ferry their drugs/seek acceptance in foreign countries.

Softmirror:
That is why they have been so afraid since the proposal of NIN as a criteria for registering Social Media account. 😁😁😁

Hehehehehe.....
Diswan is still living in self-denial.
Nwokem, train don go leave u tey-tey o.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Who told you Igbos’ ‘can’t come out on Monday’!? Or is this just your wet dream you’re sharing with the rest of us!?

Have you bothered to ask yourself where those 80% have relocated to? Yes, lagos and it's environs.
And they will still be the same to belabour their hosts with what they can't do you in their regions.

They can't come out every Monday in alaigbo, but the same clowns will quote 'constitution' for you when you ask them to observe 3hrs sanitation every Tllast Saturday of the month.

helinues:
Iseke, a town in Orlu, Imo state is 80% deserted due to the activities of the Kanu's boys terrorizing the area.

The Igbo's should leave political discussion for others and face the insecurity in their region

Skeyskey, I am protected on this forum. Your trolling no dey work again

Over 95% of obidients are also ipób supporters as well.

They had rather stomach this killings in alaigbo (so long as it's done by a 'bloda') than have an agbero shout at them in lagos.

Enugurangers:
gidgiddy

Come and see the IPOB/ESN you love to support on nairaland. What suprises me is how you are able to be an obidient and also support IPOB at the same time.

sleek214:
But these guys made some money na, why are some of them looking this way? Make Una forget all this talk of " I played/represented Nigeria, Nigeria suppose look after me" we all represent Nigeria in different ways... Civil Servant dey represent Nigeria, Teachers dey represent Nigeria, entrepreneurs dey represent Nigeria in their own ways...

This was someone that played for grade A clubs o . Inter milan, AC milan, AJ Auxere etc as well as playing for the super eagles.
Are his mates not kanu and okocha? Why are those not complaining?

He must have mismanaged his resources or was not informed enough to 'diversify' into biznaze like the okochas and kanus.

He should count himself lucky to reach the height he reached in soccer out of over 200 million Nigerians.

Na d 5 se states remain now.
E don set.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Bring it on zombie 🧟‍♀️

We've heard u.

mrvitalis:
My own is this... When Lagos governor is suspended for what ever reason the then president sees fit I don't want to hear anything

You see how rivers people took it? Take it like that too

So who will do the 'suspension'? Peter obi, nnamdi kanu or simon ekpa?

Agbegbaorogboye:
Shame on Tinubu and his zombies

The Jonathan you so much maligned has turned out to be a far better democrat than you'll ever be

With all your money and buying of loyalty, you'll never be half the man Jonathan is in the eyes of sane people and the international community

Only your agberos will continue to sing your praise with paraga and Igbo rotten mouth

Eyah, that 'igbo rotten mouths' will be ur president till 2031 (God-willing).

Las-las if u do anyhow, your state will be the next to go under 6-months suspension.

Make we bet am??

Ok, our igbo-mina - yölöba bloda, we've heard you.

iwaeda:
Go and queue up for food. Hope you can comprehend, I said everywhere. You dont see what Seyi is doing. Enyin eru aye.

Our igbo-mina 'yoruba' bloda, what has lagos state got to do with this thread nau??

They are talking about imo state in southeast but you managed to drag 'your tribe' (via) lagos state (south west) into d mata.

Small time you'll try to convince ur village ppl that you are yoruba.
Abeg, how ur rant and this thread take rhyme Biko??

iwaeda:
They have stated campaign, people are too poor to resist. Same thing they are doing in Lagos Island, giving them Saari and Iftar foods. Almost every where in the country. Nigeria is destroyed by politicians. If economy is ok for all, things will be cheaper. At the end of the day, they will claimed billions spent.

He's already speaking with the representatives of nigerians.

Beremx:
This protest is really giving Tinubu sleepless nights. Instead of inviting traditional rulers, why can't he do a national broadcast and calm angry Nigerians down? Who are those even advising him?

Na wa o!
