My brothers and sisters, Nigerians are currently suffering terribly. Many families are increasingly becoming malnourished with each passing day. Nigeria wasn't eldorado during Buhari time, but it is now hell on Earth! Tinubu did to Nigerians what no other president has done to their citizens, except maybe North Korea. No president has ever increased fuel price by over 300% and at the same time devalued its currency massively. Non!

Many salary earners can't support their lifestyle and immediate family anymore with their salaries.

The funny thing is that same people suffering terribly are supporting this demonic ruler. They think it's all about ethnicity and religion. Indeed people suffer for lack of knowledge. However, karma has a way of paying back people for their evil doings. Ironically, those that are worst hit are the people supporting Tinubu due to ethnoreligious sentiments. Reports coming out of parts of SW, NW & NE tells of dire situation of mass hunger and suffering. Don't get me wrong, Nigerians are experiencing unprecedented hardship but it's far worse in these places I mentioned. It looks as if the more they support Tinubu, the more their suffering keeps increasing.

I will explain why these sections of Nigeria are being hit harder than SE and SS:

1. In the past, many in parts of NW, NE & SW (unlike SE & SS) largely don't pay NEPA bill. Now that power generation and distribution has become unbundled, they will be forced to pay electricity bills or no one will invest in power over there.

2. With petroleum subsidy removal, NW and NE are going to lose billions of naira daily.

3. Increase in university tuition fees will result in their enrollment figures worsening far more than SE and SS that will use communal efforts and diaspora remittances to bridge the gap.

4. Round tripping of naira has been used by them in the past to become wealthy without work. Now we all are in equal footing and those who are more competitive in nature will always overcome.

Unfortunately, nobody wins with the dire situation in Nigeria except politicians who now have more to loot. However, those have always been pampered by government will suffer more than those already used to government neglect.

fuckuigbos:
Same capitalists are being killed like animals everyday in Asia and all over the world for their hardwork

More Yorubas have been beheaded in Saudi Arabia for pushing drugs than all other Nigerians put together! There are also more of your people waiting for execution in Saudi prisons than all other Nigerians put together!

AmotekunSW:
Igbos have been ruling Igboland since 1999. What has come out of it?

The idiot called Peter Obi who igbos are carrying on their heads, he's the least educated and the least accomplished of all the top 3 contestants. In fact, he doesn't have a single legacy project in Anambra where he ruled for 8 years.

I can show you pictures of Igbos complaining about his tenure. The same hypocrites turned around to proclaim him their messiah because he's contesting again a Yoruba man.

Oga, CBN has lifted withdrawal limits for Dorm accounts and Igbo businesses will flourish. If you like, keep supporting a 3rd class idiot who used a decade to study a 4 year course

The SE region is still ahead of wherever region you come from in all indices of development, as measured using MDG goals.

BABANGBALI:
write and bring out your own for everyone to see

Tinubu is a complete mumu, that's why opportunistic rogues like Asari dokubo and Reno are busy trying to manipulate him. I know before long, Tinubu will also invite Reno to Aso rock or even appoints him since he has shown enough antagonism towards Igbos, which happens to be the only criteria he needs.

fuckuigbos:
Yet you villagers are killing yourselves and selling your community lands just be able to afford tfare and move to these places. You cry to the United Nations, Britain and America whenever you are asked to remain in your villages.
Clown🤣🤣

Lol, the Igbos you see in your slum settlements are capitalist adventurers taking advantage of your laziness. I personally can't live in any of your slums. If I couldn't stand Lagos due to its congestion, is it slums like ibadan, ogbomosho, Oshogbo or ore that I can live in?

Stop deceiving yourselves, capitalist adventurers can thrive even in the worst places on Earth, provided they're cashing out. That's why Chinese people are all over Nigeria too, even in the most remote villages.

You will wake up in 2030 and still discover you're living in slums while we Igbos will be living in modern cities.

fuckuigbos:
This looks like a concrete jungle that needs to be nuked and built from the scratch.
One of the ugliest and dirtiest places in the world.

Lol, coming from someone whose urban areas are 90% shanties? You can't have slums like ibadan, ogbomosho, Oshogbo etc in your region and still have mouth to talk.

vannessa7:
Your brothers and sisters living in different states in south west who knows Yoruba towns and cities are developed are reading this your comment and they know you are just ignorant, 80 percent of Yoruba settlement are developed, all those old settlement in the city center that you people post while you post images of newly developing areas in your states are just lies and propaganda, a single state in Yoruba land will normally have at least 4-6 well developed towns and cities apart from the state capital.

Development start from the city center and spread out, on the outskirts of those old settlements are modern buildings and infrastructures. You don't hear a Yoruba person saying they are going to their villages during festive period because their place is already a town or city, not bush villages that are rampant and norm in the south east apart from their state capital.

The way you guys spew lies without shame is quite disgusting. Which Yoruba towns and cities are developed? Can you name them? Yoruba land has the worst urban planning/development in the entire West Africa! What you call towns and cities are nothing but absolute slums.

SE has far better planned and more aesthetically beautiful cities than the rustic towns filled with mud houses and brown roofs in SW.

You're the ignorant one yet you have the guts to call another person ignorant. Igbos travel to their ancestral places to celebrate festivities. It is due to a culture of homecoming among them and not because their ancestral places are villages. Owerri indigenes also return to the city during Christmas or Easter, does it now mean Owerri is a village?

I have traversed SW states and I can tell you that what you call towns/cities are an eyesore, slums!

I dare you to mention the towns or cities you have in SW that isn't over 80% slum. Is it Abeokuta, Oshogbo, Ibadan, ogbomosho, iseyin, ore, ijebu ode etc. These places are the worst in Nigeria. The terrible thing about you guys is that you all are comfortable living in those shanties that have remained stuck in time. But Igbos are not like that, they will keep challenging themselves to keep getting better.

In less than 10 years time, at least now that electricity problem will soon be solved, get ready to start seeing millionaire cities in the East with high rises stretching as far as the eyes can see, such as in Aba, Onitsha, Owerri etc.

You guys should rather be ashamed at the deplorable condition of SW urban areas. A Kenyan guy saw drone pictures of Ibadan and asked "how can an urban center the size of Nairobi be filled with slums completely".

PureFace1:
lol look at this flattie lol

Just because we don't have the urge to post about every little development going on in South west like you people that is constantly suffering from inferiority complex.

Can the industrial development of Anambra or any state in the East match that of Ogun or Oyo state, Forget about Oyo state and Ogun state.

Do you know the number of companies that are established in Ogun and Oyo industrial area and are still establishing every day?

There was a post about 8 villages being clear by Chinese in Ogun state recently what do you think they are going to use the area for lol ?

Check popular products and goods around you and see the manufacturing location.

Enjoy your empty chest beating.

Lol, scratch-face, you're the one boasting for nothing. Oyo state does not have more industries than Anambra or Abia. We have debated that severally in the past and I proved it with facts!

Ogun would have been just another Ekiti, Osun, Ondo etc if not for Lagos. Over 95% of the industries in Ogun are there because of Lagos. If you put Yobe state in the geographical location of Ogun state, Yobe will still have those industries. Take a look at Agbara or Sango Ota and see how terrible those places are despite all those industries there.

It's not about chest beating because there is absolutely nothing to brag about in the SW except Lagos axis and you can't brag with that. Same way Hausas, Fulanis or even Gbagyes can't brag with Abuja.

myloRrd:
i'm asking what if he doesn't leave the seat ,what will happen?

Why won't he leave the seat? Once the judiciary at the supreme Court rules that he was wrongly imposed, it automatically makes it illegal for Tinubu to be in Aso rock or to continue parading himself as president. Anything he signs, be it bill or contract automatically becomes null and void!

Go and read what happened to Gbagbo of Cote d'ivorie when he refused to vacate as president

helinues:
Yes but that can't happen here in Nigeria.

Kenya election was annulled while sitting president was on reelection, first in Africa, it was because the judgement must be delivered before the Inauguration day.

Removing a sworn in president would distrupt our democracy system and calendar

This one is pure ewedu talking. No sense of logic at all.

FYI, removing a wrongly imposed president by the judiciary will straighten our democracy. It will show that we have arrived as a country since rule of law can take place regardless of who is at the receiving end.

myloRrd:
people keep saying obi will win in court,caan a court autually remove tinubu is this even possible,do people know the type of power a president has?, what if the court gives order and he doesn't obey, we saw the case of buhari disobeying court orders, so i'm asking is it even possible

The answer is a resounding YES!

It happened in smaller African democracies like Malawi and Kenya, so why do you feel it will be impossible in Nigeria?

Tinubu will be removed by the courts because there is overwhelming evidence which clearly shows he shouldn't be on that seat. The judges will do the right thing as backed by the law and there would be massive jubilation when that verdict is made!

ronalmagic10:
Ipob candidate! Not once has he condemned the activities of ugm and criminal elements terrorizing imo state instead obi.dots said the governor is the one responsible for the insecurity. Is that not dumb?

How can a governor, first time governor for that matter who will want to continue serving and build his political career be sponsoring criminals to terrorize his state? To what end?

Obi.dot rather than support the governor, condemn ipob and ugm activities are busy playing nzogbu nzogbu politics

Hope uzodinma will win this election. It is settled. The army, navy, police and all security agencies will be on ground to provide maximum security. People will vote for hope and their votes will count

Shame on all enemies of Nigeria

Cry cry baby. See lamentations and smelly spittles everywhere because people are showing massive love to Obi.

Don't die of depression o.

Alliswell248:
Pls reduce the volume of the lies
Over 500k Yorubas in Anambra and Jagaban got less than 1000 votes.

The stat is ridiculous. Yoruba in Anambra are less than 20k.
They didn't vote because of intimidation and harassment.

Some of you can't even reason like normal human beings. Even Yorubas in Lagos refused to vote for Tinubu because they're informed yet you want Yorubas in the East to vote for him?

Can you people be logical for once?!

You ended up embarrassing yourself. It's either you couldn't comprehend what was written in the Tribune excerpt you presented or you wanted to be mischievous.

Even the unfortunate poor SANs defending Tinubu mentioned this same article without realizing they're digging their own graves. Omo, at this point, Tinubu is definitely vacating that seat because there is overwhelming evidence against him.

Even a layman who can read and understand issues know that Tinubu has lost this case.

Ogene001:
Very dead place where microfinance Bank manager commit suicide for inability of people to pay back loans

I laugh when I see them using propaganda and Lagos to cover their backwardness. The reality keeps staring them in the face. You can't have significant disposable income and still be living in slums disguised as cities/towns.

Over 90% of Ibadan is slum, same with Abeokuta, Oshogbo, ogbomosho, ore etc. They live under those subhuman conditions because they can't afford to build modern edifices. People with money will always demand for modern things and that's a fact!

okeysoninv:
control doesn't means you can't buy the mineral resources and establish cement factory. although our limestone reserve is too small. it can't prevent a company from establishing cement plants in South East

Who told you that SE limestone reserve is very small? You can't just assume things you're not sure of and present as facts. There are commercially viable limestone reserves in Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia.

Ogene001:
That is the truth. SW is very backwards. Lagos is their only consolation

No jokes, SW is the most redundant region of Nigeria. Lagos is just hiding the rot in that region. Remove Lagos and you have a dead zone.

I'm baffled how they have such huge advantage yet lagging behind. Even NE would have been far better than them if they're to be in their geographical location.

The massive industrial complex own by Chinese company Goodwell is in manufacturing of Ceramic Tiles, wash hand basing, WC and so many others just opened in Umueze village in Ezeagu local government

Damn it, this is so massive!!!

South East is about to take its rightful place just as it was before the war. From Anambra to Enugu, Imo to Abia, industrialization is taking place.

We have so much in common with the Asian Tigers, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't perform like them or even more. Thank God that the national bureaucracy is being dismantled to give room for a more competitive economy. Igbos thrive in competition!

mrvitalis:
Senseless? It was the first time igbos showed North we can be killers too and yhay ended the targeted attacks on igbos in the North

They have turned to northern Christian minorities since then

You think bandits won't have attacked igbo settlement in the North since if not for that show of madness ?

The only thing that assures peace is Mutual assured destruction

That's why USA can't invade Russia or china or North Korea or the reverse

Northern minorities need to have sense

No, that wasn't the first retaliatory killings in the East. During the time of Orji Kalu as governor of Abia state, there was massive retaliatory killings in Aba. I think due to Kaduna killing of Igbos.

Our neighbor then in the same street, Alhaji Labran escaped with his family and never returned. He was rich then and owned cars.

The roads of Aba was littered with dead bodies and the air smelt like there was massive barbecue of goats. I couldn't eat meat or anything suya again after that horrific event.

Thank God that such barbaric killings has stopped in the North.

drlateef:
Please stop this idea of stolen mandate. There is no stolen mandate. All evidence points to a fair and free election in most parts of Nigeria. Few skirmishes in Lagos and Anambra state does not change over 2 million votes lead over to Obi. It is ridiculous and stale.

2023 election is one of the worst elections in history. There was widespread rigging in Rivers, Lagos, Delta, Benue etc etc. Any unbiased observer already know that!

The evidence is already before the tribunal.

SpatialKing:
Impressive on what basis?

Relative to Buhari. In comparison to Buhari.

iammo:
Justice to make a third become first?!

Obi supporters are sick in the head

That's the difference between you Tinubu supporters and Obi supporters. You guys are mostly driven by tribalism and religious fanaticism unlike Obi supporters that are patriotic and objective.

Already, Obi has presented "tons" of evidence at the tribunal showing his votes were massively stolen across Nigeria. If you're a good and patriotic Nigerian, you will demand for justice and not your usual insults.

Let the court decide!

I must say that Tinubu has been impressive so far. At least, he has been far better than Buhari who was a disaster. For the first time since the last 8 years, there appears to be some semblance of governance unlike the vacuum and confusion we experienced under Buhari. Buhari was so cunning that he thought Tinubu will be as terrible as him thereby helping to cover up his total maladministration. So far, Tinubu has disappointed him!

However, that doesn't mean that justice won't prevail. One aspect where Tinubu has disappointed is his subtle threat on judiciary. That unnecessary outburst makes him appear like Buhari who he obviously don't want to be like.

If I were Tinubu, I will focus on doing the best while allowing the judiciary to do their work. If at the end, they judge that Peter Obi is the actual winner, then he will do the honorable thing by congratulating him. By doing that, he would become one of the greatest Nigerians that ever lived. Also, he would have achieved his lifelong ambition of being a president. Additionally, he can also contest against Obi in 2027 and given the above scenario, might even end up defeating Obi.

For all Nigerians, it is very wrong to say that since Tinubu has impressed so far, then let him continue with a stolen mandate. That could be likened to someone stealing your house then renovate and paint it. Will you say he should continue possessing it because he has maintained it very well?

We should all continue to demand for justice to be done regardless, because that's how great societies are built.

seunmsg:
Let’s even assume the reasons you gave are true and sensible, why will Peter Obi win when an Atiku with a better case is also at the tribunal? Why will the north use the tribunal to give victory to Peter Obi when Atiku is available? Make it make sense.

Atiku does not have a better case, it's all in your head. Available records indicate that Obi actually won the election. Most of Obi's votes in PDP controlled states were given to Atiku. Obi already have the evidence which he has presented to court.

The tribunal can't judge in favour of Atiku because he didn't win! Doing that will set Nigeria on fire that may lead to breakup. Rather, once it's proven that Obi has the highest valid votes and the court rules in his favour, there would be massive jubilation across Nigeria. It's only in Lagos that would experience pockets of disturbances.

DaddyJapan:
Obi is not going to be declared winner of the Presidential elections, so you will do well to stop hallucinating now.
The best he can hope for is an ordered re-run, which he will inevitably lose because of the odds stacked against him.

I don't care if Obi is declared winner or not, I'm indifferent at best. To me, it's a win-win situation. If Tinubu is able to outsmart Northerners, I will vote for him in 2027. The prime losers won't even be Igbos but North.

Tinubu operates like a maximum ruler. He doesn't tolerate opposition. North has always controlled Nigeria like it's their private estate. Someone like Tinubu will supress them. So, it's a fight between them and Tinubu. All the noise about Igbos is just a smokescreen.

ChatterHouse:
Irrespective of our political differences

I respect PBAT with his actions thus far, he's winning admirers so far which is good for our democracy

( even though he will still vomit our mandate)

I task PBAT not to consider political vengeance of Isolation of SE region, so that he could harvest those vote in the future

SE has been Marginalised for a long time and appeasing them with a juicy position will be a good thing in the long run

Capturing the entire south should be goal of PBAT


But in the meantime I am happy with the dismantling of the Northern Mafia ;

Terrorism has been brought down to the barest minimum this month👏👏👏

Elrufai has been reduced to a Blogger insha Allah

Exactly what I wrote in an article below:

https://www.nairaland.com/7727409/why-obi-win-case

To me, Tinubu is not really bad, just that his anti Igbo rhetorics is very annoying. But I guess it's just a distraction he is using to deceive North.

North stands to lose more than Igbos if Tinubu succeeds. And I can tell you they're already getting scared.

The best thing that will happen to Nigeria's economy is the widespread use of CNG as viable alternative to PMS. It is 100% locally produced and we have it in abundance. It can be sold for 100 naira per litre/kg. It will create thousands of jobs across the country. It will increase purchasing power and raise millions out of poverty. It will make agricultural produce a lot cheaper since cost of transportation will be drastically reduced. However, this is Nigeria we are talking about here.

You may have wondered why the Benin pilot scheme wasn't replicated across Nigeria?

The cartel controlling this country are not working for Nigerians but for the cartel itself! If they replicate CNG usage across Nigeria just like the pilot scheme in Benin, what do you think will happen to Dangote refinery and the monopoly they're building there?

Even if CNG is replicated nationwide, have it in mind that once Dangote refinery is completed, they would hike the price of CNG and make it so expensive that we would prefer PMS. You don't think they will plan to reap billions of dollars from Nigerian masses only to see CNG nullify that.

You don't have a country, what you have is an enterprise controlled by a cartel for their own interests alone!

sagitariusbaby:
CNG filling stations would have been made available before the removal of subsidy, this is pure medicine after death.
The City of Benin was used as a pilot scheme to test run the efficiency of CNG by either Yaradua or Jonathan government "I can't remember", about six of the filling stations were established in Benin City, they still run till date but it was never replicated elsewhere as planned.
Fewer vehicles use CNG in Benin because of the absence of the stations outside the city. Many vehicles would have been converted from PMS to CNG but that would mean they may never be used outside Benin which discouraged many intended users.
Government knows exactly what to do to get things right but policy summersault has become the order of the day with successive government.

The best thing that will happen to Nigeria's economy is the widespread use of CNG as viable alternative to PMS. However, this is Nigeria we are talking about here.

You wondered why the Benin pilot scheme wasn't replicated across Nigeria? It shows you don't understand what is going on in this country. The cartel controlling this country are not working for Nigerians but for the cartel itself! If they replicate CNG usage across Nigeria just like the pilot scheme in Benin, what do you think will happen to Dangote refinery and the monopoly they're building there?

Even if CNG is replicated nationwide, have it in mind that once Dangote refinery is completed, they would hike the price of CNG and make it so expensive that we would prefer PMS. You don't think they will plan to reap billions of dollars from Nigerian masses only to see CNG nullify that.

I'm old enough to understand the sort of politics played in Nigeria. Also, I have read 'tons' of history books to know how events always play out.

Peter Obi is likely going to win at the tribunal. Not necessarily because he has unassailable evidence but to prevent Nigeria from sliding into a dangerous pit. Yes, Obi has enough evidence to win him the case any day but he isn't going to win based on the merit of his petition but to preserve Nigeria. Again, not because if Obi fails at the tribunal Igbos will automatically break away from Nigeria. No, Nigeria's breakup won't happen over night, it will take years of continuous deterioration and anarchy before it eventually implodes. That's how other countries with similar makeup broke up. Examples abound like USSR, Sudan, Ethiopia etc.

Believe me, North stands to lose more than even Igbos if Tinubu perpetuates himself. I can assure you that they've become very anxious and full of trepidation about the status quo and what it portends for them going forward. They never thought that Tinubu will emerge president. Their calculation was that Tinubu will contest against Atiku, then Atiku will sweep the polls but they didn't reckon that Obi will become a force through LP. Obi's emergence truncated their plans. To worsen things for them, Wike also messed up PDP in the South. So, when they realized that Atiku had no pathway to winning, they decided to align with Tinubu. Tinubu was more calculative than them and with enormous money at his disposal. As if that wasn't bad enough, a mugu like Buhari was president.

The last thing North wants is a powerful Southern president who can easily have his way. If they were uncomfortable with Tinubu before, now they're likely getting scared of him. The support Northerners are giving Tinubu now is not based on love but out of fear. The same people that stopped Awolowo and Abiola from becoming president based on what they stood for now have Tinubu who is obviously more unpredictable to contend with.

They also know that Tinubu will win a straight second term if he isn't stopped. 8 years of Tinubu will definitely ensure that political and economic power is fully controlled by Yorubas. Igbos can survive such situation, at least they haven't been in power since the end of civil war. Any serious hostility in Lagos will result to divestments and reinvestment in the East. But unfortunately for North, they will have no fall back position. Political power have always been their consolation. Losing it to Yorubas will make them extremely vulnerable and their future survival in Nigeria highly uncertain.

The tribunal is their last chance of stopping a state capture.

inoki247:
You people and tears and always trying to bring Tribe into everything almost all the influencers that prompted her dey are Yorubas buh u diz bitter people will never see that....



The just concluded NASS election was Kalu not part of the people against Akpabio SP or is Akpabio from SS also a Yoruba man....

What happened in the Senate is selfish politicians trying to out-do one another, it has nothing to do with this.

Any Nigerian who is old enough and also watches events in this country already know you people.

I'm telling you with all sincerity that if Hilda Baci is Yoruba and not Ibibio, you people won't be condemning her like this. You people like promoting fellow yorubas while hating on others. That's a fact you can't deny!

Nigerfine3:
Edo, Rivers,Akwa ibom, any of these that lobby well and get a sea port ( standard), nigeria woukd become better, SE,SS,NE woukd have ease of doing business and sharp growth. Lagos would be decongested,for a better living.

I wonder why you didn't add Imo, Anambra and Abia on the list of states that get seaport. Mind you, they're all closer to the sea and also have big rivers that flow into the Atlantic than Edo.

Meanwhile, I agree with you that we need viable seaports in the SS and SE.
