Your reasoning is retrogressive while that of an Igbo man is progressive. We are turning you to tenants in your own land, do you know why? An average Yoruba is lazy to work, that's why you guys are littered all over lagos as agberos. I am buying your father's compound soon that's if he has one

Igbos are the poorest people in the South.Keep deceiving yourselves while Yorubas continue to use your people as labourers on Yorubas lands

lol
A mod is adamant and making sure you don't continue with this thread.Allow it pass until you sight any naught and hauthy comments from our friends who always beat their hollow chests on fake and stagnant beliefs they have continuously fed themselves because we have been silent.Okay,let it pass.Are you happy now,mod?

Enyimbafc:
But in reality,what we see all over Nigeria is how yorubas import the largest skull and human part goods all over the country.But NBS and NAIRALAND says otherwise.

lol


You are wailing,bro.

Why are you so dumb to counter the facts.
Olodo,that is not NBS.
World bank,UNDP and NBS said you are the poorest in the South,you still wailed.Meanwhile, we are waiting for your stats that will say you are richer than the SS before even coming close to the very,very rich Yorubas.

Obamaofusa:
All of you are writhing in pain.
No phone.
No okrika

If only there were okrika and phones accessories on the list,this thread would have passed 5 pages and Igbos would have been all over the thread shouting amaka,ajoka etc.

No more chestbeating on imports.

Philistine:
What is the meaning of this useless thread? You Yoruba guys have low self esteem, just like your igbo counterparts.

You might say that but I think it is just for the record.Most Igbos will run away when they see hot naked fact.Thank you OP

Everybody knows this except our Igbo brothers that always claim that they are the biggest importers.Thank God for the internet.

There's nothing like the south. Yorubas are on their own.

Yes,Yorubaland where you all run to has always been the leader even in opposition.
No matter how much you wail or the cabal schemes, Yoruba will be president in 2023.
Before you hear the news,let me tell you that no NEC meeting will hold today..

enyi1:
Speak for yourself and SW. We in SE/SS will gladly support the stooge/cabal or any northern candidate ahead of Yoruba candidate any day any time!

Obaseki will lose because of betrayal just like the cabal or whoever wants to weaken the South will lose.

The End of Oshiomhole

So 25th June 2020, two things will happen
1. Obaseki wins PDP primaries
2. Oshiomhole is voted out as APC chairman

Beautiful time to be alive

Obaseki will lose because of betrayal just like the cabal or whoever wants to weaken the South will lose.I pity the North because we know what the cabal is planning.They want to foist a stooge on Nigeria but failure is their name.

[quote author=Seanfer1 post=91010177]He is surrounded with sycophants. They mislead him thinking Oshiomhole is his problem, now I’m sure he will realize that Oshiomhole is far better than his new political Godfathers.
Imagine the time and money he has wasted in the last one week he joined PDP. [/quote

In the end Obaseki will fail because of betrayal. APC will win Edo state again and Ize Iyamu Will be positively exceptional.]

Obamaofusa:
OGUN STATE:

The estate built by Oyedepo in Ogun state is touted to be almost the size of Onitsha.The biggest estate in Africa.These are some of the reasons that Ogun state is one of the most developed place in Nigeria coupled with industries,higher institutions etc that it has more than any state in Nigeria including Lagos state.

No wonder somebody said Ogun state is more developed than IMO and Anambra states combined.
This is beautiful.

Apawicked:
don't shift the goalpost. The excerpt made this your post look stupid and that's the same thing was telling you.

lol

Does learning how to wear clothes in 1921 mean that Igbos were smart?

Money talking but I pity Obaseki.He is a goner because of betrayal.

Harcourt court restrains Edo governor, talks continue

•One aspirant steps down, others refuse

•Party extends date for sale of nomination forms for Ondo deputy gov

Davidson Iriekpen in Lagos, Chuks Okocha in Abuja and Adibe Emenyonu in Benin

Perhaps, Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, may have to go back to Nigeria’s school of governance to learn the practical rudiments of Nigerian Politics 101 – which teaches you that ‘the political enemy of your friend, is not necessarily your friend’.

Yesterday, a court sitting in Port Harcourt granted an injunction stopping the governor from participating in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) primaries, slated for Thursday, to pick its governorship candidate.

It was another Port Harcourt-based court that granted the order stopping the political foes of Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike, led by his predecessor, the Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, from laying claims to the acting national chairmanship of the All Progressives Congress (APC) – a move that assisted Adams Oshiomhole, the embattled National Chairman of the ruling APC, and frustrated Amaechi in his bid to take control of the national structure of the party, ahead of the 2023 presidential election, which he is said to be interested in.

Amaechi’s protege, Chief Victor Giadom, was stopped by the Port Harcourt court from parading himself as the APC’s acting national chairman, in an extension of the supremacy battle between Wike and Amaechi, that has now spilled over to Edo State where Obaseki was counting on the same Wike – a sworn political foe of his key supporter, Amaechi, – to assist him secure the PDP ticket.

And then, there is the suspicion by the PDP apparatchik that Obaseki’s deal with APC governors is to return to the party after he wins the Edo governorship election on PDP’s platform.

As the intrigues continue, the Port Harcourt court, ruling on a suit filed by the leading PDP governorship aspirant in Edo State, Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama -an ally of Wike -restrained Obaseki from participating in the PDP’s primary pending the determination of the suit.

The ruling of the Federal High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, came the same day another aspirant, Mr. Gideon Ikhine, stepped down for Obaseki.

Obaseki, who just defected to the party from the APC, was screened last week by the PDP Screening Committee.

He had earlier been granted waiver by the party after his defection from the APC.

The suit has the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, as the first defendant.

Other defendants are Emmanuel Ogidi, Kingsley Chinda, Debekeme, James Manager, Ajibola Muraina, the PDP, Obaseki and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as second to ninth defendants respectively.

Ogbeide-Ihama, through his lawyers, Mr. Donald Denwigwe (SAN) and Chief F. Orbih, SAN, and leader of PDP in Edo State, had asked the court to stop Obaseki because his defection to the party, a few days to the primary, was unreasonable and aimed at destabilising other aspirants.

The court, presided over by Justice E. A. Obile, after listening to the submission of Denwigwe and Orbih, ordered the defendants not to allow Obaseki or any member or non-member of the party other than those that have purchased forms and were screened within the time stated in the timetable to contest for Thursday’s primary.

The judge also ordered that order and other processes be served on Secondus, Ogidi and Chinda by substituted means at their residences in Port Harcourt.

The order and other processes are also to be served on the PDP at its national headquarters in Abuja and Obaseki at the Government House in Benin-City.

The court adjourned till tomorrow ( Wednesday) on the eve of the primary election to hear the motion on notice.

PDP Aspirant Steps down for Obaseki

Earlier, the aspiration of Obaseki to emerge as the governorship candidate of the PDP in Edo State had received a boost as one of the three aspirants in the race stepped down for him.

Also, in an apparent need to accommodate the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Mr. Ajayi Agboola, who defected to the PDP on Sunday, the main opposition party has extended the sale of nomination forms for the Ondo State governorship election.

However, to ensure a rancour-free primary in Edo State,

PDP leaders have mounted pressure on another aspirant, Mr. Kenneth Imasuagbon, to step down for the governor.

Ikhine, who declared support for the governor at his campaign office in Benin City yesterday, noted that his decision was to allow the governor consolidate on his developmental strides in the state.

According to him, “Governor Godwin Obaseki is a prayer-answered for the PDP. We might have a common vision but the means of achieving them may be at variance but God has brought them to reality.”

Urging his supporters to support the re-election of the governor, Ikhine said: “We want to ask for your support and to ensure that everyone that has worked with us across the state redoubles their efforts in ensuring that the margin of victory between the PDP and the opposition is wide.”

Obaseki reassured the PDP that his administration will continue to prioritise the welfare and wellbeing of all Edo people.

He said: “PDP is Edo and Edo is PDP. Together, we shall bring Edo to where God has destined it to be.

“Governance has to be about the people, not about a few individuals. It has to be about translating the norm and the new value where we say white is white and black is black. We have to rebuild our great party; if PDP were not in the state, l may not have switched to PDP.

“Today is the beginning of a new dawn in our party. What we are doing is a merger. What one person was doing before, two persons will now be doing the same thing. The victory will be for us all.

“Therefore, everyone must have a space in the party. We want to build a party that is fair and democratic, where every group in Edo State will see that there is something in the party. I want to build a party that is based on fairness, equity and justice.”

It was, however, learnt that barring any further changes, one of the two remaining aspirants or both of them might eventually step down for Obaseki to emerge the consensus governorship candidate for the PDP in the September 19 election.

According to a source who was privy to the series of negotiations with the aspirants, Imasuagbon may also step down today following pressure from party elders.

THISDAY gathered that Imasuagbon had a long meeting with the PDP leaders, who prevailed on him to step down in the general interest of the party.

However, the third but leading aspirant, Ogbeide-Ihama, who hails from the same senatorial zone as Obaseki, has refused to step down for the governor.

But a source said party leaders led by PDP Governors including Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State and Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and Chair of PDP Governors Forum , had intensified efforts to persuade him to do so in the overall interest of the party.

The source told THISDAY that the sentiment being canvassed is that Edo State is a PDP State and that the aspirants should not be seen

as obstacle against the party regaining power in the September 19 governorship election.

According to the source, Imasuagbon will within the next 24 hours make the consultation with his supporters and other stakeholders in his campaign and reach a decision thereafter.

The source explained that since Obaseki would be completing his eight years in office by 2024, it would be expedient for the governorship slot to be zoned exclusively to Edo Central.

Meanwhile, in an apparent need to accommodate the deputy governor of Ondo State who just defected to the party, the PDP has extended the sale of nomination forms for the state governorship election.

The party extended the last day for the sale of the nomination forms from the earlier date of June 22 to June 24.

According to a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, other timeframes related to the nomination processes for the Ondo State governorship election remain as earlier announced.

PDP said all leaders, governorship aspirants, critical stakeholders and members of the party in Ondo State should be guided accordingly.

The number of those eyeing the party’s ticket grew yesterday as a former Commissioner in Ondo State, Mr. Olusola Ebiseni, threw his hat into the ring.

He promised to make use of the opportunity of the natural resources in the state to transform it, if elected.

Oh God

Enyimbafc:
Yoruba leaders use 3 million of them for suya.But today,their children are buying up ur cursed ancestors lands in lagos and dominating ladipo and other major markets in lagos,while you and ur cursed parents wail like a goat.

Get sense.You have no stake in Lagos.You are just labourers used to develop our lands.Ask Massob.

Enyimbafc:
With all what u mention above,ur people still complain of how igbos dominate them in ladipo market and also buy up yoruba lands in lagos.

You cannot buy what you cannot take home.You can only work on Yorubaland for a period and go back to Abakaliki.Why are you running away from Igboland?Igboland is gradually becoming a desert.

Yoruba had the fastest growth during regionalism when the North and East marginalised our forefathers but because God had greatly blessed the great Yoruba race,we became the richest,most educated,most developed and most accommodating,liberal and most business savvy Nigerian at home and abroad.

there's nothing in Imo that pumps gas to your region? Pray that Imolites won't invade this thread with pictures of Imo that will shame you and make Abeokuta look like its in the 1800s. Just enjoy your thread. Make una free this guy

You don't have to start your thread with cheap lies. When did Ogun state become the state with the second highest human development index in Nigeria? Where then do you put the powerhouses of human development in Nigeria i.e. Imo and Anambra states?

You guys have come again o, but the era of propaganda and lies are over and we are to ensure that no one is decieved again.

Ogun is above all your states..

So what do you want us to do now

Praises to the Almighty for his protection over we mere mortals..

The funny thing is that the white bus that hit him just came back going to Ojota and some Marwa people chased him but were unable to get him.Is it a deliberate attempt? Nobody knows but why come back to see what happened

That is the man in black..

A Man Almost Lost His Life At Ogudu GRA This Morning.

During my usual workout, I saw this accident at Ogudu rd this morning.

The man involved said he dropped one of their staff, moved and all of a sudden he saw a white bus that he thought was going to overtake him but with the velocity the bus was doing, it hit him off the road onto the other lane going to Ojota.

I was behind him facing Ogudu.What saved him was that some vehicles just passed just a minute before he was hit onto the road and oncoming vehicles were distances away from him. We all thank God for his life and ours.

RIVERS LOCKS DOWN BONNY LGA AND ONNE COMMUNITY

*Residents of the State to prepare for statewide lockdown if infections continue to increase unabated

Rivers State Government has imposed a total lockdown of Bonny Local Government Area and Onne Community in Eleme Local Government Areas with effect from Sunday, June 21, 2020 to check the spread of coronavirus in the State.

Consequently, all residents of Bonny Local Government and Onne community, except those on essential services and duly exempted must stay at home.

Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike announced this today in a state-wide broadcast.

"Pursuant to the fundamental objective of stopping the spread of coronavirus, we have reviewed the situation in Bonny Island and Onne Communities and come to the conclusion that a total lockdown is necessary at this time to shut down the continuing spread of the virus in these communities.

"By this measure, all shops, offices and business places must remain closed.

"All gatherings, including religious, burial and wedding activities are prohibited. All entry and exit into the two communities, except those on essential services and duly permitted, are also banned.

"Security agencies have been directed to enforce the lockdown by arresting and prosecuting anyone who dares to disobey these directives, " he said.

The Governor noted that with a total of 866 positive cases out of 2572 tested samples, the State is gradually becoming the next epicenter of the virus in the South-south region of the country.

He said that within this period, the state also recorded 30 deaths, including prominent persons while 356 persons recovered and were discharged from Treatment Centres.

According to the Governor, only today the state recorded 127 new cases leaving the Isolation and Treatment Centres overwhelmed.

As the number of new cases and deaths continue to increase, the Governor said there is no more denying that coronavirus is both dangerous and deadly.

"We cannot also deny that the transmission of the virus in our state is currently on a steep upward trend. This being so, we must all brace up to the reality of having new infections and a couple of deaths in the coming weeks and months.

"When we recognised that effective early response was key to preventing the virus from progressing deep, we introduced drastic measures to protect our citizens.

"Unfortunately, some people deliberately twisted our intentions, maligned our timely measures and exploited the attendant temporary hardship on our people to further their selfish political drives.

"Today, I am sure with the daily worrisome number of new infections and the fear of possible calamitous community transmission, everyone is now seeing the needless politicization of the fight against coronavirus.

"Nevertheless, we are encouraged by the fact that the virus can effectively be stopped from spreading further, if only we all submit to the prescribed guidelines on social distancing as a matter of strict responsibility, he stated.

Governor Wike regretted the nonchalant attitude of those who blatantly violate the rights of people to good health and public safety by refusing to comply with established guidelines.

He therefore appealed to all residents and visitors to treat the spread of coronavirus with all seriousness by
*staying at home as much as possible
*avoiding contacts with others when outside
*avoiding gathering in groups
*regularly washing hands; and
*regularly wearing face masks in public places, including transport mediums.

The Governor assured that government would continue to collaborate with well-meaning partners to stop the continuing spread of coronavirus.

He stated that this is not a time to play politics and called on residents to accept individual responsibility to reduce the risk of transmission and protect our people.

The Governor warned that residents of the State should be prepared for a statewide lockdown if the number of new infections continue to increase unabated.

Other nations have Covid 19 but some people do not believe there is covid 19 in Nigeria because Nigeria is in Jupiter.

Okay
