Fashola Schools Peter Obi On Infrastructure

See video:

What is Fashola saying again? The Rocket science man that could not maintain the mega watt of electricity he meet. For good four years he could not add an inche to Nigeria's electricty instead he resorted to media propaganda to save face. Nigerian road is the worst for it, from South east to south west to North central, north east and south south. Our roads are death trap while billions are stolen to service Tinubu and his croonies.
Fashola knows nothing about development. As a Governor he wasnt a match to Peter Obi, he knows very well despite the huge revenue that comes from Lagos as a former Federal Capital Territory built by the colonial master and the federal government. Fashola is one of the dark horses in this government.
Unfortunately Fashola's failure to revive the North east power project at gelengu made late Abba Kyari to travel to Europe where he got covid 19 and died.
Fashola should cover his head in shame.
What Nigeria needs now is an expert like Obi who can rescue Nigeria from her comatose state to a productive state. Every state in Nigeria is supposed to be bouyant.

Thoh:
Ijaws are as large as Igbo in size.

These are few Ijaw celebrities.

OGB is Delta Ijaw.

Sam Dede is Rivers Ijaw.
Timaya is Bayelsa Ijaw
Gentle Jack is Rivers Ijaw
Daniel Lyod is Bayelsa Ijaw
Sowore is Ondo Ijaw
Nengi is Bayelsa Ijaw
Harrysong is Delta Ijaw
Ben Bruce Owner of Sylverbird TV is Bayelsa Ijaw.
Burna Boy is Rivers Ijaw among hundreds of thousands of other Nigerian Celebrities that are Ijaws but many dont know.

Where Ijaw occupy in Niger Delta is as big as Igbo land.
They don't cross creeks to count Ijaw they only count Ijaw by proxy.
They are afraid to cross creeks to know us more.

Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States when all Ijaw areas are not even scattered by God.

Igbos are not larger than Ijaw in population truth be told.

You see Ijaws everyday but they don't carry it on their head.
Many people that you think are Igbos are actually Ijaws.

Which Igbo people are you talking about? Is it the South East geopolitical area or the Igbo people as a tribe? Are you counting the Igbos in Lagos with a towering population that has only been rivalled by importation of Yorubas from other Southwest states, or the Igbos in Sabon gari Kano, or the ones in Jos, Ibadan, Ogun, Delta state, Rivers state, Kogi , Benue, or the one in Akwa Ibom state, Sokoto, Bauchi, or the Igbos is Kaduna,FCT, Zamfara, Kebbi, or Katsina, Ilorin or Ondo, Ekiti?
Which Igbo are you refering to?
It only takes the combination of Huasa-Fulani to have such spread of human population in Nigeria no other tribe has it.
Anytime you talk about Igbo population, remember their population outside the South East. This was the population of the Jews in the past.

You have said it all.
Will Tinubu employ a shaky man like him to preside over his company? Will he abandone the smart young guys to employ a shaky old man as his company's General Manager?
Those of you supporting Tinubu, will you do that?
If you can answer these questions well i will vote for Tinubu?

I used to think this guy called Reno Omokri has some sense upstairs, now i know he lacks alot.
He is troubled that Peter Obi's defection to another party will lead to loss of political credibility to PDP thus PDP losing the 2023 election. This will mean another 8 years of sojourn in a foreign land by Reno Omokri.

Which is more developed?

The Truth is, apart from Lagos , and Ogun state that is reaping development from Lagos no South West state is developed in the right sense.
In Lagos you have the population and urban development as well as industries, while in Ogun you have only industries coming up due to expansion from Lagos.
Now the question is why can South West develop?
South West is not known to achieve that. They lack that enterprise and initiative. The Greatness of Lagos is a colonial effort that preceded the effort of the South West leaders coupled with the fact that it was once Nigeria's capital.
If sea ports are developed in other zones, Lagos will have less patronage.
The whole of South West has remained the way it has been year's long.
If you go to the North, the hausa or Fulani man presence in a lonely location can bring development and commercial activities in that place in less than 5years. The hausa Fulani man is is the igbo man who opens up new areas and expand, but this can not be said of South west.
And town is a tick commercial town with customers from all over Africa who buy products in millions of Nigeria. Ibadan is an ancient city with no recent developments. Ekiti, Osun, Ilorin, and Ondo are like that, you just see small capital ,the next is villages.

AntiBMC:
It's really not by force to stay together. This is supposed to be a democracy. The FG should allow the regions that want to secede, to do so. The bloodshed that's stemming from this continuous union is just too much.

The statement of the Northern Elder Forum should be looked into for real. There is nothing wrong to allow the igbos to go peaceful.
We should learn from history how this same self determination led to several wars in Europe including WWI and WWII.
The close to 70years of no world wars is because people were given self determination, and Europe and the world has been peaceful except for the recent Russian Ukraine war.
Europe has been experiencing great development and democracy.
Nigeria can be like that if the Igbo people are allowed to go.

vicdom:
It's clear these people do not have a case against MKN. The ploy is to keep the case lingering and keep him incarcerated.

But the Nigerian government can not stop the agitation for Biafra. No amount or years of presidency to the igbos will stop it.

You are right.
The North played the game right from Jonathan's time but they pushed Tinubu and his people who were proud to betray Jonathan whereas the job was done by the North.
Now Tinubu is dispised and hated like a scum by the North, South South and South East. His people see him as selfish. If he had not been greedy he would have been the best politician living in Nigeria.
For Osinbajo, he is on a jamboree. If he is given the APC ticket against Atiku , that will be a fight between Bash Ali and Anthony Joshua, because the North, South South and South East will go for Atiku while Tinubu boys will finished him in South West.

colestephan86:
Recently H.E Atiku Abubakar, horridly pulled down a Facebook post where he condemned the murder of a student in Sokoto state university, cos he was threatened by some northern youths, that they won't vote for him cos of his comment on Facebook.

It goes on to show the kind of person atiku is. I believe strongly that even if the entire north votes for Atiku, he still won't be president cos he is destined never to lead this nation.

Wake Up!!!
If you place Atiku with any politician now, he will win hands down. Remember how he was rigged out in 2019. Now he is coming as the only Northern candidates, meaning all the Northerns will vote for him.
You dont expect a Northerner to vote Tinubu, or Osinbajo or Ameachi as President when he or she has a President.
Haba , think about it nah! Even you will not do it.

sekundosekundo:
Those That killed Funsho Williams are very much around and may also kill Osibanjo and this and many more are the reason(s) PYO moved his APC membership to Ogun State.
These blood suckers can do anything to achieve their LIFELONG Ambition.

Don't forget that Buhari said and I quote.
"If I reaveal my successor now, they'll kill him"

Who will kill him? Is it those that he worked with to betray GEJ and used all his tenure as VP to abuse the man or who else?
Remember GEJ has KAMA LAW waiting for anyone that betrayed him, e.g. Oshiomole, Atiku, Saraki, Dogara, etc.
Lesson: Learn not to betray or backstab your fellow human beings.

So Aptly stated by the Noble learned silk

Nigeria is a lawless nation especially under the APC

Funny enough the APC Governemnt has a SAN as its Vice President under whose domain these laws have been missed up.
I wonder what he would do if he eventually wins?

lexy2014:
I don't remember mentioning Tinubu. Meanwhile, What good position does osinbajo need to be in to help suffering Nigerians that has made him to continuously support and defend the same buhari who is presently making Nigerians suffer?

Help me ask them. There are people who are ruining Nigeria in the name of Packaging. Your packaged Buhari, you are now packaging Tinubu and Osinbajo? These are people that lacks competency. Why dont you package Fayemi? Of course he does not need it because he is good.
Umahi, Peter Obi and Atiku dont need packaging because they are good.
What does Osinbajo want to do if given Nigeria's President that he couldnt do with Buhari? Another failure.

I know you dont have such money to buy that form but you are one of the best candidates that can lead Nigeria. Umahi is the best among you all in AP followed by you and Fayemi, the rest have nothing to offer.

TheRareGem1:
https://www.thecable.ng/presidency-i-wont-spend-two-years-trying-to-decide-what-to-do-says-osinbajo/amp

You dont have what it takes to rule Nigeria. You are just being used by the North to remain in power, to placate the South East into submitting to allowing the North take PDP, and two to destroy Tinubu career.
Once the North gives you the AP Ticket, the South East will succumb to the North taking PDP for Atiku and the South East goes as VP. Tell me, you can you contest against Atiku in PDP? Secondly, your ticket in AP will drive Tinubu to a new party where he will end his career for ever.
These are the two jobs the North is using you to pla.
Meanwhile, it is the turn of the SOuth East, the greed from the North will either bring reform or tear the country for everyone to go their seperate way.
The North is trying to deny South East their right just like Obasanjo did to them in 2007 by picking Yardua whom we knew was very sick, and he died for Jonathan to take over. Obasanjo did all that for his selfish interest thinking he would ride Jonathan once in power but it failed.
The whole game of who becomes Nigeria's president in 2023 is in the hand of the North. The North should alow justice, equity and fairness to prevailing. The reason why Africa now, and Europe before 1945 were conflictogenic is because of greed and selfiness. Man naturally is selfish. If the UN will allow rotational leadership among various entity, in Nigeria people want to cheat others. Lets learn from history,it is the best teacher.

Fake News from the pit and pot of Hell

The number two man is living true to his tribal attitude which is betrayal. Betrayal is a merry go round in Yoruba land and amongst them.
I was shocked at the beginning when i saw the attitude of the number man wishing death takes PMB for him to be president like Jonathan took over from yardua. But they forgot that GEJ knew nothing about Yardua's death which was an act of God.
During PMB's sickness various commentaries were sponsored both prayers in the church to bring the man in as president. At that time they moved from party to tribe wishing PMB death but God Almighty preserved him.
Once PMB came back, the number two man turned to degrading GEj in public fora, castigating the South east, IPOB, South South, and neglecting the killings in Plateau, Benue, Kaduna Adamawa.
Surprisingly, that he is now trothing around the country preparation for president of APC is so funny.
Kporogi cold even observe all these from USA. it s so bad that he betrays Tinubu using Church just as they used Redeem church , Deeper Life Church, MFM against GEJ.

Urbanchampion:
What does Ogbonaya stands to gain from this Igwe debacle? He used the former HRM Director of Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, Mrs Genevieve Ejiogu to perpetrate the fraud of keeping Igwe in FIIRO, when Ejiogu retired, Onu didn't trust the Yoruba man who succeeded her, he had to resort to Director Legal, another woman from Delta state.
The unfortunate fact is that Buhari has left his Ministers too long and unchecked
on their jobs, thereby making some of them have become uncontrollable, even by the system.

Why would he trust a yoruba man? Is there anyone that trust yorubas?
How about Osinbajo's influence at Efcc? Why dont you see to that.
Stop being tribalist, Igbos will not succumb to your cheap black mail.
I wonder why that federal organisation is still in Lagos instead of Abuja.

Ohaneze you must speak out and never to take VP slot because you made the South west Obasanjo a to be President for Eight years, Yardua and Buhari for 10 years, and Jonathan for ^ years.
Now it is your turn.
Remember in Realists position, the Institution will not help you you must fight your way through.

See how Tinubu has made you guys brainless?

You came here to attack me but backed down when you saw it was your own useless Tinubu that said that statement.

If there is one thing I can learn from Ambode's travails at the hands of Tinubu is how your people just sat down squat like slaves without protesting against Tinubu's gross abuse and total disregard for your democratically elected leaders.

It is a very big shame because this is the end of the yorubas that we used to know.

They are funny people. Noise, greed, gossip, stealing and betrayal. No amount of holy spirit can undo these attitude in them.

Kfed4ril:
So I want to know why the SW APC are clamoring for presidency to be zoned to the south.

Its so funny that SW APC is clamoring for power to shift to the South accussing the North of dominating Nigerian politics. SW APC are saying the North is greedy. But SW APC want the presidency too if the slot goes South.
So who is greedy? Why cant the South West be reasonable and support equity in the South? Why is the SW greedy? The North has promised them the slot foolishly knowing the South west will contest. Osibanjo and Tinubu dont believe in Southern equity for the personal selfishness. If South East or South South were to be in their position, they would have insisted on equity but that is not the case with the South West. The North knows that the South west appitites for power is greed and foolishness having produce Obasanjo who was single handedly made president by IBB, Abdulsalam and Orji Uzor Kalu. Same South East helped in making Yardua and Jonathan President, and very instrumental in PMB presidency. I remember the reconciliation Orji Uzor did between IBB and Buhari before his election. That meeting was the key factor to PMB's victory. Today none of these group believe in equity.

The presidency must go to south east else wahala go dey.
South east has helped others to the presidency, Obasanjo a yoruba man, Yardua a Fulani man, Jonathan an Ijaw man and Buhari a Fulani man. Now instead of supporting the south east, they are project tricks to deny them their turn.
Nigeria deserves equity to be together.

Now how about the one from 1966 to 1973 by the North? how do you also account for the 1979 to1993 and 1994 to 1999 all for the North?
please Kwankwanso should answer.

The problem with the south is that instead of fighting for restructure they are busy running after presidency.

Quitam:
By Farooq Kperogi
Amid the grief of the heartrendingly tragic collapse of the 21-storey luxury apartment building in Ikoyi, Lagos, a sadly familiar, barely acknowledged but nonetheless insidiously widespread anti-Muslim bigotry in Yoruba land came to light.

A Yoruba Muslim by the name of Adebowale Sikiru revealed in an interview with a YouTube news channel called AN 24 that he was rejected for a job at the Ikoyi construction site because of his Muslim faith. He applied for the position of a site engineer and was found qualified enough to deserve being invited for an interview by Femi Osibona, the MD of Fourscore Homes, the firm that managed the construction of the ill-fated multi-storey building.

After the interview, Sikiru said Osibona asked him what church he attended, and he responded that he was a Muslim. “Ah, I can’t work with a Muslim,” Sikiru quoted Osibona to have said. Osibona reportedly said in Yoruba that he couldn’t work with someone whose response to his chant of “Praise God!” would be “Alhamdulillah!”
When Sikiru told him of his struggles with getting gainfully employed after graduation, Osibona also reportedly said it was probably because of his Muslim faith that he was not “able to make a headway” in life. “He said that in front of even the bricklayers” and many others at the site, Sikiru said.

Sikiru left the site sad, humiliated, and deflated, but a friend of his who brought his attention to the job he had interviewed for called him while he was on his way back home. The friend wanted to find out if he was trapped in the building that had collapsed a few hours earlier. That was the time it dawned on Sikiru that his rejection and humiliation on account of his faith ironically saved him from death.

Unfortunately, Osibona died in the collapsed building, so we have no way of getting his own side of the story. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem plausible that Sikiru, who didn’t even come across as a devout Muslim during his interview with AN 24, would just wake up and invent the encounter with Osibona. Plus, videos that have emerged of Osibona’s meretriciously outward displays of his Christianity and evangelical exhibitionism are consistent with Sikiru’s account of his encounter with him.

More than that, though, it merely instantiates the casual bigotry that Yoruba Muslims routinely contend with in their own natal region on account of their faith, which I’ve known for years.

I followed the social media conversations that Sikiru’s encounter with Osibona triggered among Yoruba Muslims and came away with the distinct impression that many Yoruba Muslims are seething with frustration and deep-seated inferiority complex on account of their faith-based systematic exclusion and demonization, but they are grinning and bearing their fate in smoldering silence out of social pressure, out of anxieties about social ostracism. We call this the spectacle of the spiral of silence in communication theory.

A Facebook friend of mine by the name of Ganiyu Oludare Lasisi who now lives and works in Scotland narrated how he was denied a job to teach high school geography in his hometown of Abeokuta because of his Muslim faith. He has an Upper Second-Class honors degree in Geography and a distinction in the subject in his “O” level. But “on the day of the interview,” Lasisi said, “the school owner/founder (also a pastor) rejected me because of my Muslim name (Ganiyu). I was so sad and angry then. He even suggested that I can convert to Christianity and change Ganiyu to Gabriel.”

In their safe spaces, multiple Yoruba Muslims shared similar such anecdotal encounters of causal bigotry. They say they are habitually ridiculed for their faith, sneered at for their Muslim sartorial choices, alienated and rhetorically marginalized, and outright denied opportunities by people with whom they share the same ethnicity. Several of them are forced to convert to Christianity or hide their faith to fit in.

Just the other day, on November 3, Premium Times published a story of the appointment of a 45-year-old professor of geo-technical engineering by the name of Afeez Bello as acting Vice Chancellor of the Osun State University in Osogbo. The photo of Bello that the paper used to illustrate the story was of a heavily bearded man with a Muslim felt hat.

Apparently, that sartorial symbol of male Muslim identity was like a red rag to a bull among Christian Facebook commenters, most of whom were Yoruba. The man was called “Boko Haram,” “Shekau’s reincarnation,” a “fanatic,” and all sorts of other cruel slanders and unwarrantedly unmentionable vituperations. I was emotionally distraught after reading a sample of the comments. I inflicted self-torture on myself.

The truth is that the famed religious ecumenicalism and tolerance of the Yoruba people is often achieved at the expense of Yoruba Muslims. It is they, and not their Christian brothers and sisters, who must always perform religious tolerance. (In his interview with the YouTube news channel, even Sikiru felt compelled to say that 95 percent of his friends are Christians and that he hadn’t closed off the possibility that he could convert to Christianity at some point in his life.)

It is Yoruba Muslims who are required to downplay or hide their religious identity in the interest of an overarching Yoruba identity because, over the last few decades, Christianity has been rhetorically constituted in the popular imagination as a core constituent in the construction of Yoruba identity. That’s why prominent Yoruba Muslims almost always have to invoke their connection to Christianity to fit in.

The late Gani Fawehinmi always had a need to show that his wife was a Christian. Bola Ahmed Tinubu has a need to strategically let it be known that his wife isn’t only a Christian but a deacon. House of Representatives Speaker Olufemi Hakeem Gbajabiamila concealed his Muslim identity until he needed the support of the Muslim North to become Speaker. After the fact, his handlers played up the fact that his wife and his mother are Christians.

Prince Bola Ajibola, one of Africa’s finest jurists who happens to be a devout Muslim, doesn’t openly bear Abduljabar, his Muslim name—unlike his father who bore Abdulsalam as his first name—perhaps, not being married to a Christian, it was his only way to reassure his Christian Yoruba brothers and sisters that he is Yoruba. Yet, he is so strong in his Muslim faith that he established the Crescent University, one of Nigeria’s first private Islamic universities, in his hometown of Abeokuta.

Although Muslims constitute a numerical majority in Yoruba land, they are a symbolic minority and are perpetually put in a position to prove their “Yorubaness.” For instance, in the heat of the debate over the formation of Amotekun to ward off “Fulani bandits,” Bolaji Aluko, who was a professor here in the United States and who is now a prominent Ekiti State government official, used the moment to stealthily alienate Yoruba Muslims in his state.

In a January 25, 2021 article titled “Sunday Musings: On the Matter of Farmer-Herdsmen Clashes in Ekiti State,” he wrote, among other things, “Our Muslim Yoruba citizens must decide whether the Umma principle of brotherhood is greater that [sic] the collective security of our Yoruba citizenry." As I told him then, there are at least four ways in which he was wrong.

First, he exoticized, needlessly put Yoruba Muslims on the spot, and created a false binary between being Muslim and being Yoruba, even though (nominal) Muslims constitute the majority in Oyo, Osun, Ogun, and Lagos states. Islam has been in Yorubaland since at least the 1400s. The first mosque was built in Oyo-Ile, the ancient capital of the Oyo Empire, in 1550, that is, centuries before colonialism.

Second, Yoruba Muslims are themselves victims of the homicidal fury of Fulani brigands. If being Muslim hasn't immunized Yoruba Muslims against sanguinary clashes with Fulani people, why should they be singled out as people who are suspect, as people who might betray non-Muslim Yoruba people to the Fulani out of "the Umma principle of brotherhood," which, by the way, is nonsensical, meaningless verbiage?

Third, Aluko’s claim assumes that all Fulani brigands are Muslims (they are NOT) and that they are committing their crimes on behalf of Islam, which would predispose them spare Yoruba Muslims in the spirit of "the Umma principle of brotherhood." But nothing can be more ignorant and bigoted than that.
If "Umma principle of brotherhood" (whatever the heck that means) were a thing, Muslims in Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Niger, and elsewhere (who are also incidentally Fulani, Hausa, or "Hausa-Fulani" wouldn't be killed, kidnapped, and overawed by criminally bloodthirsty Fulani brigands. Mosques wouldn’t be invaded, and imams and worshipers kidnapped and murdered. That should tell anyone that this isn't about religion or even ethnicity.
Sadly, Yoruba Muslims have no voice and seem to have accepted their fate with listless resignation. Not being a Yoruba myself, I know I will be viciously attacked by the people who lubricate and enjoy the current hegemonic high ground that puts Yoruba Muslims at the lower end of the totem pole, but I am not one to shy away from telling the truth because of fear of attacks. I resist injustice no matter who the victims or the perpetrators are.

You imagine what other ethnic groups are facing in Yoruba land if such wicked treatment is meted on a Yoruba person because he is a moslem. Awolowo a Yoruba man brought tribalism into Nigeria. Yorubas are tribal bigots, an attitude that is not helpful.

shigishege:
The time you will see the real hypocrisy of the international communities and understand that all of them are political asslickers is when BIAFRA comes.

Let those guys eventually get thier nation, all of them, I mean all these countries who pretend as if they don't know Biafra now will scramble to become the friends of the new Nation. North Korea, Russia, China, France, Germany even Iran, Saudi, Turkey etc will start international politics to make the new country thier Ally.

Infact USA that are facing antagonism front and back, will want to have more tech savvy nation friends. Isreal that's reluctant to identified with them will quickly claim them more than they are claiming them now.

Even all these useless double mouthed Nigeria local politicians, who is criticizing this aggitations now will quickly mix and port to thier sides.

If the Igbos can have one mouth and clear direction and respect a single line of authority, they will have one of the most beautiful nation on Earth.

Though I agree to the fact that Igbos are genius and tech savvy, just like the Yorubas, I still don't all this hatered they have towards my tribe. Infact we should be on the same sides because we are in this together.

At the end, Yoruba, My pride. My tribe.

You sound too confusing to yourself. Recognition is something that goes with any nation newly birthed.
Saying igbos will do this and that once they speak with one voice doesn't make sense. Igbos are United more than any tribe in Nigeria. It is the unity that gave them courage to fight the civil war and still fighting. Yorubas can not do that. They can not fight 30 months war. They can't have the strength and unity to fight the way IPOB is doing. Only the opposite direction of Akintola will pull down every effort in them.

YOU ARE NOT MARGINALIZED!

Allow them to go for referendum,its not by force to live together. They v fought bitter war for 30 months and the new generations are saying we want to go whether marginalised or not.

gidgiddy:
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is in detention. His trial will commence on the 21st of this month. There are three possible outcomes to the Nnamdi Kanu saga

1) He wins his court case, or that some sort of political solution is reached, either of which will leads to his release. Which means he goes right back to his Biafran agitation

2) He is found guilty and is sent to jail. This will transform him into a prisoner of conscience and poster boy of the Biafra struggle, same as Mandela became the face of the struggle against white minority rule from jail. This will make Kanu more popular than he already is and make the Biafran agitation worse for Nigeria.

3) He dies in detention or is sentenced to death. This will transform him into a martyr and an eternal reference point for the Biafran struggle. It is also likely to turn the Biafran struggle into a full blown armed insurgency against the government of Nigeria by his die hard followers

No matter how you look at it, all three scenarios are not good for the federal government. Nnamdi Kanu must be laughing in his cell, he knows he has already won, regardless of what happens

You are dam right. The federal govt and the hausa fulanis know very well that the biafra struggle is beyond control whether in nigeria or abroad. Every igbo man has keyed to it wanting a seperation from nigeria. This whole scenerio can not be redeemed having fought a bitter war for 30 months and the new generations are still fighting. now the North wants to hold the other tribes intact in case the igbos go and the only way is to give the yorubas presidency. giving igbos presidency will mean nothing because it wont stop the biafra agitation. Those who want nigeria presidency are some political elites in igbo land who no longer have legitimacy in that region any longer. Give and take the region is gone and it didnt start today it started in 1966 with the CIVIL WAR.
