Thank you for acknowledging that this injustice exists. Had Jonathan tried to change it, he would have been murdered. You people don't realize the forces holding and marginalizing SE and SE...powerful forces, more powerful than GEJ. They know that economic independence of SE and SE will bring about end of Nigeria.

Omudia:
If there was True Federalism, Lagos GDP will not even come to that of Rivers state.

Clinton9000:
Fifth Largest economy based on deceit and monopoly...controlling the only functioning seaports in Nigeria and also largest airport. If yorubaa have basic human conscience expected of a human, go out on the streets, protest that Federal government should allow the seaports and riverport in Calabar, Warri, Onne, Port Harcourt and Onitsha to function to their full capacity without federal government interference. Also, allow the Enugu, Uyo, Owerri, Asaba, Calabar airports to function to their full capacities with direct flights, then we'll praise you even if Lagos clinch the number one economy in Africa because I think it's based on level playing ground but right now...LAGOS IS A MONOPOLY AND INDIRECTLY SANCTIONING THE WICKEDNESS AND EVIL BEING METED ON SE AND SS!

Every mainstream media outlet in the country keeps saying Trump is losing badly. They say this as if it’s fact. And based on many polls, it does look that way.

But so did Brexit. That was the vote for UK to leave the EU. No one anywhere in the establishment…or media…or any major politician thought it would pass.

But it did.

I believe this is our Brexit. And I’m putting my money where my mouth is. I’m betting big on Donald Trump to win the election. Here’s why.

I had the honor of attending the presidential debate as a guest of Donald Trump in my adopted hometown of Las Vegas.

My day began with a taste of what the Washington establishment and so-called “experts” think of the race. I was a guest on “Fox & Friends.” On one side of me was a Democrat political strategist from D.C. predicting a Clinton victory. On the other side was a Republican strategist from Washington predicting a Clinton victory. Both felt the presidential race was already over and Clinton could be headied for a landslide victory. That’s the thinking from Washington.

Which is fascinating. I call it “group think." Both of these political gurus would probably lose a ton of income if Trump wins. I guarantee they both hang out with all the same kind of establishment people…go to the same parties…read the same newspapers…study the same biased polls that oversample Democrats. No wonder they come to the same conclusions.

But they are not alone. Every time I turn on any TV or radio station, all I hear is predictions of doom and gloom for Trump. The national media seems to have already printed the headline, “Dewey Beats Truman.” You remember how that ended.

Yes, I understand why they think Trump is finished. Most of the national polls show Donald behind by 4 to 12 points. But didn’t all the experts and pollsters predict Trump’s demise every step of the way during the GOP primaries too? I’ve predicted his success since day one -- starting right here at Fox News on the day he declared for president.

More importantly, why is the media ignoring the polls predicting Trump is in the lead? I'm betting you've never heard a word about these polls in the media.

Rasmussen has Trump up by 43-41 percent.

USC/LA Times has Trump up by 1 point.

And most importantly, the most accurate poll of the 2012 election, IBD/TIPP has Trump up 43 to 41 percent.

Funny how the mainstream media doesn’t mention these polls.

But there are many signs this year is different and pollsters cannot accurately measure the direction of the electorate.

Trump attracts 10,000 or more crazed fans to his events. Hillary attracts 200 to 500. And most of those attendees are Democrat Party employees or union hacks paid to be there! The exact number since August 1 is 561,000 for Trump events vs 31,000 for Hillary events.

Hillary can’t even sell her new book. As of this moment, it’s #5,568 at Amazon. It’s brand new. It’s written by the most high-profile woman in the world. She has had an audience of over 60 million watching each of the past three presidential debates. Yet no one is buying her book.

The signs are everywhere. Literally.

My best friend’s wife drove this weekend from DC to Florida. She saw hundreds of Trump signs on lawns, on barns, on highway overpasses. She saw one Gary Johnson sign. But there wasn’t one Hillary sign. Not one.

Then there’s the dramatic drop in NFL ratings. My friends are all NFL fans. This is due to the anger of the people I wrote about in my new book “ANGRY WHITE MALE.” This is the same "Silent Majority" who are boycotting the NFL over disrespect for the flag by NFL players.

This is "the Trump effect" at work. My friends are angry and motivated. The media just doesn’t understand what’s happening on Main Street.

Then there’s the kind of polls I trust. My friend is a Vegas cab driver. She starts every new ride with this conversation opener, “Welcome to Vegas. Now let’s talk about the election. Who are you voting for?” In the privacy of her cab, with no one watching or judging, every single passenger in the past two weeks has whispered “TRUMP.” Yes, all of them.

So what gives? I’ve predicted this in the media for three months now. This is our Brexit. None of the experts saw Brexit coming. Only the people on Main Street knew.

Here’s some facts to back up my contention. William Hill, one of the largest legal bookmakers in the world, warned days ago that the betting patterns of this election look exactly like Brexit.

All the big bets they’ve taken are on Clinton. They report 71 percent of the money is on Hillary. Just like Brexit.

But 65 percent of the actual bets are on Trump. The little guys are all betting on Trump. Guess who determines the outcome of elections? The little guys. They’re betting their $5 and $10 on Trump. Just like Brexit.

I’ll take the Vegas cab driver’s poll over the fancy D.C. pollsters any day.

I’ll take the betting patterns at legal bookmakers.

I’ll take the sign of a massive drop in NFL ratings.

I’ll take the size of the crowds at Trump rallies.

I’ll take the signs along the road for Trump vs none for Hillary.

The signs are all there. Something is happening that the DC experts and mainstream media can’t see, or understand. Or maybe they just don't want to.

This is our Brexit. And I’m betting big on Trump.

This reek of pure evill. Omotola is being controlled by demonic forces from the 4th precinct of Hades which is located in the deep down south of the demonic kndom after the bend of herod.
Her benefactor gave he fame in return, she handed over the control of her ovaries todemons and they now harvest her eggs on every full moon and hand it over to childless women who asks the devil for help with children.
The solution to her proplem is to pray to st joana of arc, st alphonsus liguri and st molumba of uganda asking them to interceed on her behalf to the virgin mother of God to solve her problems and acquire these eggs from lucifer.
she is to mix communion wine with the blood of a lamb and frankinsense then apply it on her face and privates for 33 nights after which micheal the arch angel will be sent to set her free

Your write up is very funny...

If statistics isn't reliable and if there's no accurate way of getting these facts, how then did you come up with the fact that Yorubas are the most educated, on what premise?

Please, what is the name of the school you talked about in your write up?

Clinton9000:
That was how they packaged a quarter of a century old lie that they are the most educated people in Nigeria when statistics upon statistics show Igbos lead by very high margin, and after Igbo are non Igbo Deltans and followed by Edo. This has been the yr after yr pattern in the last decade or so, yet these pathological liars keep peddling the mendacity they are the most educated. I served in Ondo state and I crisscrossed all SW states during my service, I was shocked to know and see that nearly 25% of older yorubaas cannot speak average English on conversation level. But come to SE and SS...nearly every old person you meet, even in their 90s, speaks at least average English.

The Bini who were the dominant military force from the 15th to the 19th century raided and sold other ethnicities to the Europeans. Top on the list of those they sold were the Yoruba, Ibo and Igala.

Whats with the first class thing? you can never see a topic with such title on a WHITE man owned forum.


FIRST CLASS?? what have they invented? how has their academic grade benefit the society?

Grow up NL mods! it's high time we started celebrating genuine/productive first class graduated and not some First Class celebration associated with minor instances to the public.

Hyundai guarantee for 5 years where Honda and Toyota do for 3
If you produce fake you will soon be customerless.

My brother, you're quite right. If they can assure us then we just 'might' try...


Oga Sanchez, thank God you created this topic. The truth is, as a producing nation, I believe we're not there yet, not even ready sef. Something happened to my recently on two different occasions. Unfortunately, I'm going to mention names and be blunt.

I bought a carton of Dangote noodles about five months ago. Not like I liked it though, but I was hell bent on encouraging the Naira. I carried myself to the market to get a carton. Initially I found nothing suspicious until about twenty noodles had left the carton . And then my woes began... Every noodle I cooked afterwards was incomplete. Noodles, present, seasonings, absent. It happened to well over 10 noodles. I sent the company a mail stating my displeasure and giving details of what happened, for where? Maybe they'll respond tomorrow, don't know about today sha. I sent two different mails and none was acknowledged. Nigerian made oo

After that, I bought Tummy Tummy (Sea Food, 120g), hoping Dangote had been done away with for good. For where? This one was even worse. From the very first few sitting at the top of the carton to the middle, there were no seasonings in all, I swear down! I started thinking to myself, (so this Anambra noodles too wan do me shege) Instead of sending a mail. I sent a four paged message to the numbers on the wrapper of the Noodles. About several hours later, someone called, an elderly man called, apologized and said it must be a machine error, blah blah blah... I wasn't asked to pay for a machine error riddled noodles but a full carton, so why the excuse?
Trust me, that was never the end, I discovered that well over 15 noodles were without seasonings (in the entire carton).

The moral of my story: I'm not saying that foreign products don't have issues as this but it is not so great to this extent. Dangote and Tummy Tummy, I believe, are Nigerian made noodles owned by Nigerians. We're clearly not ready. I don't see myself sticking out my neck for their products.

Something of sort happened to me recently. My girl that has been disturbing me that we shd get married and that the doctor advised her to go into child bearing early because of the lump discovered in one of her breast. I told her we shd do our introduction in 4months time and that she shd take care of food for like 10-15 family members of both sides and I will take care of every other thing of about 100k cost. Can you believe she said she doesn't have abt 15k to cater for abt 15 folks Max with about 4 months away and she buys Aso-ebi of 10k at least once every month. She told me if I can't handle the whole expenses I shd forget the introduction for now. I was surprised no be you dey disturb me make we marry and born pikin and now the opportunity has come and you say 15k in months is too much for u. SMH!
