Omodua: Great piece by Festus Adedayo. He was erstwhile Chief Press Secretary to Chimaroke Nnamani, ex Governor of Enugu state.
He is a good writer from Oyo state. His piece is always a must read in Tribune Titles.
Tinubu is embroiled in controversy as Nigerian President and it's not good for our image.
I think what's playing out is his rape of democracy by declaring himself President via INEC in cahoot with the presidency.
Karma at work!
He will come out clean. No cause for alarm. He won the election clean and fair.The North did not vote for Obi.They shared their votes between Tinubu and Atiku.Tinubu won the SW. His triumphant win was clear except to a Bigot who thinks bigoted sentiments can win presidency. Tinubu will always come tops.
Curious346: When Yorubas were Incharge of Theatre, people were not buying Local films to Watch in their homes - Kannayo O Kannayo counters actress who said Yorubas started Nollywood | #IgbereTV
"Kenneth Nnebue, an Igbo man was producing Yoruba movies, then in 1991/1992 wrote a script titled ‘Living in Bondage’.
"Before then, the theaters belong to the Yorubas, no argument about that, but people were not buying local films to watch in their houses except foreign films. Immediately Kenneth Nnebue made ‘Living in Bondage’, it caught like wild fire and almost everybody bought into it, so home videos became a trend and a trade"
"Some left the business they were doing before to invest in movie production. The coming of ‘Living in Bondage’ gave rise to what we have today as Nollywood" he said.
He made a mistake.Nigerians were buying but they were not as many as when Igbos joined and they became more when Hausa joined. The first vhs videos made were made by a gospel group before Living In Bondage. Population grew and the market grew. Simple logic.
Racoon: And the same drug baron that is in a desperate but futile attempt to ask the CSU wherein he allegedly graduated with honours in accountancy to shield his stellar academic records from public scrutiny is what? Definitely a crooked criminal.
He lied that he graduated from University of Chicago to INEC in 1999 but now alleged he graduated from CSU in 2022. It took him more than 22 years that he is carrying a fake certificate. What a criminal!
-Tinubu then claimed the clerk of CSU made errors on his two incongruent certificates yet you refused to see the criminality unfolding before you.
-The Tinubu moved on to say him appearing as a female in his transcript is a fault of the same CSU. Yet the CSU is not refuting any of these wild allegations Tinubu is making.
-CSU lame attempt to defend Tinubu was for them to issue a statement that he graduated from their institution. Yet subpoenaed by Court to attest to same incongruent certificates, the bluntly refused.
Thank goodness for the judge that said they must come to do so under oath. Well, the US is not a place where forgery or perjury is taken lying low. CSU is a messy cul-de-sac with Tinubu. They will all sink together.
He is just pulling una legs. He is clean academically.You are just chasing shadows..
Shikini: Lol ... even former President Goodluck Jonathan rang the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) bell in 2013 without noise. These agbado corn-eater supporters are laughable.
Pls note, that the NYSE is the number one stock exchange in the world and much more capitalised than the NASDAQ.
The crack economic team that even accompanied GEJ cannot be compared to those empty-skull sycophants I saw around Tinubu's
You mean the economic team that brought Nigeria to borrowing money to pay workers in 2014 not minding the humongous money Nigeria made at that time?
Pkid1: Go and create the thread and tag him na. Stop making noise here. You think say Igboland na your mate. The whole of south west no stand ebonyi state in terms of development. Let alone, Enugu, owerri and Abia
lol South East is the poverty capital of the South. Propaganda and lies cannot overcome facts showing that everybody is running away from Igboland including you.
Bestmanfornow: Before you challenge Anambra take your time and read this
We are posting videos. Don't use system run away as usual. I am not talking about propaganda but reality.What is on ground. I am not talking about Anambra but the entire Igboland. Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland. Reality speaks louder than fake news. Are you ready or you still will run away from the truth again?
For Yoruba before I put out the names of billionaires in Nigeria both in Nigeria and abroad,one of these will buy all the rich Igbo people dead and alive... Mike Adenuga and Alakija will easily do that and also are some rich Yorubas.
Yorubas have the richest musicians either in Nigeria or abroad as Nigerians.
Yorubas have the richest movies grossers in Nigeria.
Yorubas have the highest number of millionaire lawyers,doctors,entertainers etc.
Yorubas have the highest number of paid CEOs in Nigeria.
Yorubas have the highest number of professors who are mostly millionaires in their own right.
Yorubas have the highest number of rich ICT practitioners,
It is only in petty trading that Igbos have a lead while Yorubas are even second but in other sectors,Yorubas are up there.
How can a sensible person even say that a people running away from their region are richer than the richest tribe in Nigeria.Not only in Nigeria but abroad.
englishmart: Lagos is the only southwestern state that can produce non-indigenous wealthy people. You see osun, ondo, kwara, Oyo, ogun, and Ekiti, those ones have no indigenous millionaires let alone non-indigenous ones. Lagos is their UK. I remember lodging in Ekiti in January, I was told to bathe in a nearby river if I needed to have a bath. I was given dirty wrapper, bucket and soap. While we were still discussing, I saw an army of bedbugs dancing around the corner. I had to forfeit the #1500 per night I already paid and left before they mined my skul. Ogun state is so backward that they call primary school college:
Lagos is built by the colonialists and non-indigenes. Yorubas contribution to the growth of Lagos is puny and can easily go unnoticed
Edited: kwara is north central, but a former Yoruba state that was forcefully snatched from the loudspeaking cowards. Also, that hotel of #1500 is a five star hotel in their estimation. Non was costlier
Yet Ibadan only is more developed than the entire Igboland. If you are not a coward,just post 10 good videos of good places in the entire Igboland and I will post 20 from Ibadan city only with more infrastructures (modern houses,malls,GRAs,roads etc) than the entire Igboland. It will take a thousand years before Igbos can be as rich as Yorubas. Petty trading can never make Igbos be richer than industrialists like the Yorubas.
Bestmanfornow: Lagos, Anambra, Rivers leading the table
Who is the statisense?I think it is a Photoshop. It is getting rampant in recent time. I am sorry but how did they get to know this? Which method did they use to get this result? If it were an institution that has tools to do this,one would have believed this. In recent times,just like fake WAEC results were shunned out for years until WAEC hqts said they are in 5 African nations and has never done that since their inception, It was later found out that these things are done by Ipobs.This statisense has been bringing out strange stats that are unrealistic. They lie and believe their lies. World Bank and UNDP who have the tools have repeatedly said that the East is the most poverty stricken in Southern Nigeria.
Let statisense or whatever give us the names of those rich people and you will see the fake outlet curl into their shell. Or let them give us the method used.
A 26-year-old Nigerian man has been sentenced to eight years imprisonment in the UK for dealing drugs.
The man identified as Olusegun Babalola, was arrested on Friday, May 19, 2023, after police raided his home in Whitsed Street, Eastfield, as part of an operation into drug dealing and exploitation in Peterborough.
Following months of intelligence gathering, police evidenced Babalola had been involved in supplying crack cocaine and heroin in the city as part of a “county lines” operation.
The morning police raided his home, officers found more than £7,000 worth of heroin and crack cocaine wraps hidden within a tissue box on the kitchen worktop.
Other drug paraphernalia, including small weighing scales and multiple mobile phones – one of which was later confirmed to be the “deal line” for the county line – were found in the one-bedroom flat, along with a considerable amount of designer clothing and footwear.
He appeared at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday, September 15, where he was sentenced to eight years and three months in prison after previously admitting five counts of supplying crack cocaine, being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine, and possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.
mokwechineme: Evetything is up in the sky - prices of everything, the exchange rate, commodities and services.. The politicians more than any other time have increased their allowances to several billions in the midst of diversion of the commonweakth.
Where are we headed Nigerians
Yes,things will stabilize soon. All economic indices were down and the scarce foreign exchange is making everything go awry but things will stabilize soon and the Nigerian growth that we all envisage will commence.
