PoliticsRe: Yoruba And Igbo Celebrities That Are Actually Ijaws (photos). by PureFace1(m): 8:35am On Oct 24, 2025
Akinfemmy:
The ijaw Apoi in ondo you're talking about, why not read up about them. A lot of them don't see themselves as ijaw but yoruba, some of them has even claim to trace their origin to ile-ife. Many of their traditional rulers bear full yoruba names and you're saying they're full ijaw. Do you know more than the indigene of the town? Do you know their history more than the rulers?


And for you to say what is the benefits of claiming a tribe over yoruba, it shows you're kid and new to nigerian politics. Nigerian politician use tribe and religion as a political tool all the time and you're asking me what's the benefits? Are you serious? What's the benefits of Gbadebo Patrick Rhodes-Vivour suddenly claiming to be yoruba after claiming to be igbo most of his life and even used derogatory words to describe yoruba people, even he doesn't identify as gbadebo but chinedu but suddenly when he wanted to run as a governor, he remembered he's yoruba? You should listen to those periods when sowore made those statements that he's ijaw, what was going on politically those particular period and you'll understand the game.
You are a lost cause
What I mean by no benefit is because it doesn't make sense to claim a minority Ijaw over a majority Yoruba, it's more beneficial for him to claim Yoruba not Ijaw unless he want to contest for a position in Ijaw land.

You are the kid arguing blindly here after Sowore accepted his Ijaw identity, recently some Igbo also claimed they were the first settlers in Ile Ife and even wrote an history book about it does that now mean Igbo are now Yoruba?

It doesn't even matter whether Sowore is playing politics it's whatever he acknowledged himself, he denied being Yoruba still you are still arguing blindly is that not stupidity? Can you know about Sowore Origin more than himself? It is not like Sowore is a kid Just because Yoruba culture influence Apoi Ijaw doesn't make them Yoruba just like because we bear English names and speak English language in Nigeria doesn't make us British in Nigeria.

Even itshekiri with obvious connection to Yoruba still have their distinct identity and don't claim being Yoruba like that

Akinfemmy:
That's just him playing politics. If you're not born yesterday, you will understand the game sowore is playing. There's no way he has a full name as a yoruba man, but his ethnicity is Ijaw. Like I said in my previous comments. A Badagry indigene who is actually Awori can claim ogu/egun, which won't raise any suspicions from outsiders. Still, indigenes of Badagry can detect if he's telling the truth from his name, accent, etc. The same applies to Sowore, the true Ijaws know he's not part of them, and he's a yoruba man, everything is just politics
What's the benefits of claiming Ijaw over Yoruba if he is playing politics?

The truth is Sowore is Ijaw from Ijaw Apoi in Ondo state, many of you are just delusional and don't want to accept the truth, many Nigerians bear English names does that mean they are now British?

Someone opened his mouth and said he is Ijaw many of you will still be arguing blindly

What's holding back the North from descending into total anarchy is because of the south, without the south northern Nigeria would be worse than Sudan and Somalia but my prayer is the south won't be overrun in the future at rate these guys continue breeding children they can't cater for

The said one of the mastermind officer just completed a course in China, I wouldn't be surprised if he have China backing.

Any coup from Northerners in this country will send this country into Civil war this is no longer 1990, opportunity for Oduduwa and Biafra Republic to break away from Nigeria and leave the North to their banditry and terrorism.


So northern soldiers think they can carry out a coup and rule because southern soldiers in the army are mumu?

Coup is very difficult in Nigeria because of the different ethnic groups we have in this country even if you succeed with the coup you won't be able to govern long unless northerners have plan to wipe out every southern soldiers in the army and vice versa too which is impossible.
CultureVideo Of Igbo King In Ghana Installing A New Subchief Sparks Outrage by PureFace1(op): 4:20am On Oct 21, 2025
The Igbo King in Ghana, Eze Dr. Jude Chuckwudi Ihenetu, stirred public outrage after a video surfaced showing him reportedly installing a new subchief in Dome Kwabenya. In the video, the Igbo monarch was seen showering blessings and bestowing royal titles on his new subordinate, who later took his seat as the enstooled subchief Ghanaians on social media reacted sharply, with many describing the act as disrespectful to the nation’s chieftaincy system and a challenge to local chiefs.

The Igbo King in Ghana, Eze Dr Jude Chuckwudi Ihenetu, has sparked outrage on social media after reportedly installing a new subchief.

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, the controversial chief was showering blessings and appellations on his supposed new subordinate. After receiving his king’s blessings, the new chief took his throne. According to reports, Eze Chuckwudi Ihenetu enstooled the new ruler as the Igbo subchief for Dome Kwabenya.

It’s unclear when the video was originally recorded, but it has resurfaced amid an ongoing debate in Ghana over the actions of the Igbo King.

Eze Jude Ihenetu stirred controversy in Ghana over his alleged plans to establish a kingdom in the country. Despite repeated denials, he has been accused of attempting to violate Ghana’s sovereignty with his plans. The TikTok video with the Igbo King enstooling a subchief is below.

Work up to this thread this morning to see that many of the top comments to this thread on the first page have been hidden by the mods but the pro-Tinubu comments remain standing. Why is nairaland attempting to reshape the narrative from what it actually is? I've been observing this happening severally lately. Seun, you need to investigate this.
So you don't know that a coup is bad for Seun business? How do you want Seun to support those calling for coup

You think you guys will be able to comment trash on nairaland in a military regime? Site like Nairaland will be easily ban and internet can easily be shut down and nothing will happen.

Even as bad as Buhari's government was, there was no fear for a military coup. This is to tell you how horrible Tinubu's government is.
This is not about Tinubu it is actually about Northerners with born to rule mentality if they can't tolerate Tinubu you think it is Peter Obi they will tolerate?

We know how is used to happen in dodan barracks back then. If you know what a military rule is you wouldn't say what you are saying. You will never have the freedom to say half of what you say here. They don't believe in court or rule of law. They might decide to kill Kanu or lock him up and throw the keys away and nothing will happen. Major nations will declare Nigeria a pariah nation. The sanctions will hurt the poor more.
Many Nigerians supporting coup in Nigeria prove how low the IQ of a Typical Nigerian is, the economic sanctions alone will cripple Nigeria
EducationNigeria Dominates Sub-saharan Africa In 2026 University Rankings by PureFace1(op): 3:41pm On Oct 16, 2025
Nigeria dominates Sub-Saharan Africa in 2026 university rankings with 24 institutions

Nigeria has taken the top spot in Sub-Saharan Africa’s higher education rankings, with 24 universities listed in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

This makes Nigeria the most represented country in the region, ahead of South Africa, which has 13 universities on the list.

The Times Higher Education Sub-Saharan Africa Insights 2026 report, released on Thursday on THE’s website, shows that the region now has a record 55 universities from 14 countries in the global rankings, which is a significant rise from just 10 universities less than ten years ago.

The report described this as a “moment of celebration” for African higher education, noting that universities are improving not only in number but also in quality and global visibility.

South Africa still leads in performance, with four universities ranked among the world’s top 500. The University of Cape Town is Africa’s highest-ranked institution at 164th globally, its best-ever position.

The University of Johannesburg also reached a major milestone by entering the global top 400 for the first time, while the University of Pretoria returned to the 501–600 range after some years.

For Nigeria, the University of Ibadan and the University of Lagos both entered the world’s top 1,000 universities for the first time.

Ghana’s University of Cape Coast and Uganda’s Makerere University also featured in the same range, marking steady progress for West and East Africa.

Other countries also improved their presence. Ghana now has four ranked universities, while Botswana has two. Kenya and Tanzania maintained two each.

Senegal made a debut in the rankings through Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar marking a new era for Francophone Africa.

The report showed how fast the region has grown in the rankings over time. From just 12 universities in 2017, the number has grown steadily to 18 in 2020, 25 in 2022, 43 in 2024, and now 55 in 2026, the highest ever.

Times Higher Education’s Chief Global Affairs Officer, Phil Baty, said Africa’s progress is not just about numbers but quality.

“We are not just seeing improvements in representation; we are seeing improvements in quality too… a great opportunity to build on the momentum and make sure Africa’s universities are ready to drive innovation and development,” he said.

The top 10 universities in Sub-Saharan Africa, according to The Times Higher Education Sub-Saharan Africa Insights 2026 report include:

1. University of Cape Town (=164 globally)

2. Stellenbosch University (301–350)

3. University of the Witwatersrand (301–350)

4. University of Johannesburg (351–400)

5. University of KwaZulu-Natal (501–600)

6. University of Pretoria (501–600)

7. University of the Western Cape (601–800)

8. Makerere University (801–1,000)

9. University of Cape Coast (801–1,000)

10. University of Ibadan / University of Lagos (801–1,000)

The report also noted that the global higher education system is changing. Some of Asia’s top universities, such as Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore, have slowed in growth, while many US and European universities are facing challenges from funding cuts and political pressure.

These changes, the report said, create a new opportunity for Africa to rise further by focusing on research, innovation, and strong international partnerships.

PUNCH Online reported that the University of Ibadan also topped Nigeria’s domestic rankings for 2026, moving up from fourth position in the previous year to become the nation’s best university.

According to the PUNCH Online report, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026 noted that UI and the University of Lagos share the same global ranking band (801–1,000), followed by Bayero University, Covenant University, and Landmark University in the 1001–1200 range.

The PUNCH Online report also highlighted that Nigerian universities performed differently across the five indicators used by THE: teaching, research environment, research quality, international outlook, and industry impact.

The University of Lagos scored highest among Nigerian institutions for research quality, Bayero University topped the list for international outlook, while Covenant University led in industry engagement.

PoliticsRe: Depreciation Of Naira Not Necessarily A Bad Thing — IMF's Tobias Adrian by PureFace1(m): 8:56am On Oct 15, 2025
I see many people complaining about the low value of naira against dollars but if naira value is low it will actually make Nigeria competitive in the International market and make us attractive for export.

Why is Japanese yen and Korean won not high against the dollar? It is also one of the things that China use to beat America in exportation they deliberately lower the value of their Yuan against dollar but not many Nigerians get it.

One of the reasons our exportation is increasing is because naira value is also low it make importing from Nigeria very cheap
