Not bad.

hmm, I guess he wanted to block the false claim of attending GCL.
Many seems not to consider it as forgery but focus on CSU. false entry qualification nullifies the outcome of such an 'entry'.

That's the point, GCL forgery will authomaticaly places his CSU admission and graduation in doubt.
But I don't care anyway because a failure is always a failure no matter what. You can't buy class or respect.

attended Government College, Lagos, and presented a 1970 GCE A-level result with grades E in Chemistry and Biology and an F in Physics. The problem is that Government College, Lagos, was established in 1974.

That is called time travel magic. He travelled in time to get the cert even before the school was born.

...

Your story doesn't meet the eye. You said you saw his browser history and you are beyond angry already. It's understandable if you have such vile feelings but hastily coming online with it is beyond me. You are married for 10years my friend, there are other reasonable ways before this. Unless you are merely seeking for a validation to leave him.

It's because The army 🪖 is usually the oldest,the largest, the most dominant and most powerful branch of any military around the world.

Also the most influencial officers In the military are found in the Army. Other branches of military like the Navy and Air force are automatically below the Army in terms of supremacy and real actual power. The three military branches may appear equal constitutionally, but it's only ceremonial.

Gosh I love the military, rocking that military camouflage officially was my childhood dream. But unfortunately my entire family denied me that dream out of fear and probably also because of my gender. Smh

Yes it's because they are the largest and most dominant in coup prone countries with sizable less educated. Actually the air Force and Navy of countries that matters are the strongest

I’m not going to deceive you, greed kills anything, no matter how you try to build the East it will not grow except you learn how to accommodate others

As for the highlighted, Time shall tell. One thing I know for sure is that the East is welcoming to all and sundry.

Who is going to patronize the investments. Trees and red mods.?

Nothing grows in that landlocked dot nation of the most greedy criminals on the planet earth

It takes time and patience. No one said close Lagos business.

You are beyond doubt an ethnic bigot. What you are sewing today might germinate to destroy you or your generation (no offense intended) . If this is you judgement about civilisation then I can unequivocally say you are beneath every civilisation of note

ImperialYoruba:
1. Igbos are Nigerians so they have the right that every Nigerian have.

2. Lagos was former capital of Nigeria and every Nigerian have equal right in it.

3. What are the things in Lagos that you want only Yorubas to enjoy that other tribes shouldn't enjoy?

4. I just want to know these things that an average Yoruba man should enjoy in Lagos that shouldn't be available for other tribes

These questions about status of Lagos, and many similar to it, are very good questions to ask and discuss considering where we are politically, culturally, socially and economically.

I am going to provide my own clarity and help initiate what I hope will be a rich interaction to further educate and put everybody in their place and calm frustrations and anxiety. The answers are outlined structurally to aid understanding, and not aligned with the order the questions above are itemized.

1. Nigeria as a country is diverse in all its aspects of customs, traditions, cultures, ancestry, civilization and organization. These elements of society are the defines around which communities are properly identified. What makes me a Yoruba person is also the quality that denies me identity as an Ibo or Hausa person. My identity is defined to a root and that root is built on customs, traditions, cultures, ancestry, civilization and so on. This is our diversity, it should be cherished. Those who refuse to cherish their root identity are quick to embrace the identity offered them by the Constitution of Nigeria. So what identity has the Constitution offered to anyone?

2. The Nigerian Constitution has never denied its subordinate status to the customary order that pre-existed formation of Nigeria. It speaks of unity because it acknowledges a diversity which exist naturally and possess a tendency to do so independently if left without a legal framework for harmonization.

In other words, Nigerian Constitution is a framework for bringing people together who naturally do not belong together and will not stay peacefully together but have potentials which if tied in a partnership of harmony could lead to evolution of a better society overall.

Let me repeat this one more time. Nigerian Constitution is not a divine order. It is a document intended to hold together a partnership for progressive and better society that profits all groups.

Nigerian Constitution therefore creates avenues for Yoruba living in Iboland or Hausaland to harmonise with the customs and traditions of that foreign land so he can profit from them, and he does not conduct himself in ways which bring disharmony to the Ibos or Hausas on their indigeneous land. If this is achieved the harmonious state results in better society. This is similar for Hausaman living in Ibo or Yorubaland. It is also compelling on Iboman living in Hausaland or Yorubaland to do so in harmony with the land.

When this harmony is broken or thrown off balance then the Constitution is breached and a means of intervention must be applied to restore harmony using the privileged divine order. When the disharmony is multiplied in the frequency at which it occurs, or the sources from which it is acted, then a general state of diminished returns in profitability, resourcefulness and animosity will develop that pushes more and more into the risk areas that the Constitution was formulated to prevent, i.e. a tendency for the diverse peoples to exist independently and uncooperative...or at extreme points to attack one another.

We are currently in that risk zone. The predominance of our interaction across our diverse identities and at every strata of society, up from traditional rulers, political leaders, corporate leaders, down to the street beggar, has been that of antagonism and in each other's throat. The steam is bottled in and under intense pressure, one way or the other it must explode. To prevent an explosion an intervention is needed to vent the steam under a supervised arrangement.

What is the root cause of the disharmony?

3. History of ancestry and privileged civilization. Part of the diversity in Nigeria takes root in historical civilization and urban evolution. The ethnic groups of Nigeria do not have relatable history, we developed each in different dimensions and pace. At the top of the food chain of civilization is Yoruba. From here it rolls down with different groups gaining civilization and urbanism centuries later.

If we are looking to pick five top early civilized groups, and those who in turn civilized others it will be Yoruba, Benin, Kanuri, Hausa, Nupe in that order. These were pre colonial and pre Nigeria civilizations.

There is a secondary and modern civilization that occurred in time of colonial intervention. This is with Western ideology substituting itself in place of ancestral civilization and philosophies. In this secondary wave is where we find Ibo and a host of other minority groups.

The majority groups in Nigeria ought to have aligned with historical majority but Britain used vendetta against Benin to elevate Ibo above Benin kingdom, thus Ibo was accorded majority political status alongside Yoruba in West and Hausa in North. To update Ibo and give it equal footing for administrative authority under indirect rule, the colonists appointed administrators to be king over their territories. A people of deficient civilization have now been upgraded and treated as equal with societies that have maintained centuries of civilized evolution, many elements of which even surpass that credited to Roman Empire. Ibo was still a slave class when the powers of Benin Kingdom was at its peak. But now the Kingdom is made subservient to the slave. Britain stole not only the treasures of Benin, they also looted its history and status.

The modernity of Ibo upgrade is the root cause of disharmony in Nigeria today.

The power to manage their own development is poor, and so they are found wanting and devoid of skills and prowess to exercise the responsibilities of a majority and politically relevant society across the Nigerian terrain. Consequently, their inability to exercise leadership has resulted in clashes and despise across all regions and brought disharmony and flagrant violations of the code of civilized living. To mask their extreme deficiency they hide under the provisions of Constitution and pretend to be civilized and deserving of civilized treatment on foreign lands.

4. Lagos was a former capital of Nigeria and no one group owns it. There is nowhere in the Constitution of Nigeria where Lagos is defined as former capital of Nigeria. Lagos is defined as a State, like Sokoto, Abia, Bayelsa, Kogi. No more no less. It is hearsay to keep throwing that label out while defending yourself as eligible for Constitutional protection in Lagos. The Constitution you hide under has not told you that Lagos was a former capital...but it tells you Lagos is a State. Therefore accept Lagos as defined in Constitution, a State!

Do Ibo have rights in Lagos? Yes, they do. They have rights and obligations. It is their obligation to live in harmony with other people in Lagos so everybody can enjoy a cooperative relationship and profit overall. Of all Nigerians living in Lagos, Ibo stand out as the least willing to promote harmony. At every opportunity Ibo is antagonizing and belligerent. Again to return to constitution, only the indigenes with ancestral roots of any place have "privileged" rights on their land. All others have freedom to live on the land with conditions. Constitution of Nigeria has never given anyone absolute right. The constitution gives relative rights.

In order words, it recognizes that conditions are not uniform as you go from one section of Nigeria to another. Therefore what is obtainable in East is not so in West. There are conditions and aspects of social norms which are standard and a default in West, but is foreign and strange in East. When an Easterner is present in West he is allowed to also live and enjoy in these peculiarities of social life in West RELATIVE TO building a better and more progressive and evolving society.

The constitution is thus paraphrased "We so so so people, IN ORDER TO BUILD A BETTER SOCIETY hereby commit ourselves...blah blah blah.....

If your living in West denies the rights of others for progressive existence, the constitution gives them a supreme right over you, and limits your privilege while you are physically present in West.

The indigenes of Lagos share a civilization that is common and binding with other Yoruba Kingdom-States. This is ancestral. This ancestry is exclusive. Therefore a Yoruba in Lagos, whether indigene of Lagos or indigene of Offa or Jebba or Lokoja by order of divine ancestral lineage are authorized by the constitution to exercise privileged living anywhere in Yorubaland. Similar authority exist for Emirates. The Emirate of Sokoto, Kano, Adamawa, Zaria, and much as this is not palatable...Ilorin included, have ancestry that are not same as Yoruba. They are who they are, and have exercise of privileged authority in their domains as far it stretches. Ibo kings have their own domain of authority and includes privileges that Hausa or Yoruba in Iboland cannot contest by virtue of Constitution.

So why do others understand this relationship and conform to upholding it but Ibo on other hand continues to pride itself as a spoiler of the Nigerian unity and harmony?

Leaders of the Nigerian nation need to truly review the question of "Ibo amongst us" and put it to rest. We need harmony in Nigeria, and Ibo has shown tome and again on numerous instances of nationhood that it is unwilling to coexist in harmony with anyone. Then divest them out of Nigeria so their burden does not stop generality of Nigerians from progressing and profiting from our partnering.

Contribute inputs.

It's a shame someone as verbose as you could stoop this low. You talk a lot with little substance.
1. How many constitutions do Nigeria have?
2. Which city was the former capital of Nigeria?
Then by your augment
●Lagos is State hence should make laws to protect its citizens even when it breaches Nigeria Constitution?
● At same time according to you constitution is the binding and harmonious force holding the entity Nigeria.
Pls tell me how do you reconcile this??

Slow and steady Russia will prevail. Ukraine will come to her senses sooner or later.

Multi-polar world is taking shape.

Absolute power corrupt absolutely. A single dominant power is a disease to the world. Multi-polar world creates Checks and balances.

Russia is indeed a great power. The ability to challenge the entire West (30+ countries) and not shiver is not something you see everyday. I don't think China can do what Russia is doing now

How is Russia attacked by 30 countries??

IyaebeTheGreat:
OP, that lady has sense for saying she can't date a youth corper, what does a youth corper has to offer her apart from using her to practice all sort of fantasies and sex styles? I knew very early in life that I should never date an unemployed man that has nothing meaningful to offer. There are ages of men you don't date(18-29) these men in this age range are not settled, you'll end up miserable if you date them. God bless that sensible lady wherever she is.

Naive comment. Some men in their late 20ties have already shown their potential. I believe such men should avoid someone like you. My wife made me who I'm at that age and l love her more than anything.

Rochas2023:
Lol you don't want to anger the Igbos, is their turn but Yoruba smartness is top notch.

Next you will turn around and tell us Igbos beat their chest and mock others.

This is my point 7 years ago. Lagos is a metropolitan city in Nigeria. She and Abuja are arguably the only two cities that has achieved such status in Nigeria

There are too much tribal noise from APC and their minions 🙄. It's a shame some people can't grow beyond tribal idiocy. Let's wait and see how Second APC presidency will fare. Maybe we can start asking questions not riding on stupid tribal and nepotic sentiments

Too much noise from APC. It's shameful

PoliteActivist:
Tribalism how? It's a youth thing, a generation thing, not tribe. if the right person arises within LP he'll be backed by the youth. Example, if a charismatic, incorruptible, Yoruba or Hausa younger man arises within LP, he'll be the youth candidate

😉 I hope so. Time will tell I have hope. A strong one at that

PoliteActivist:
Not true at all. Labour that went from nothing few months ago to now having senators and reps despite all the rigging and logo fiasco. Give them 4 years to build and no other party will come close!

It's obvious lp has come to stay but wait till next election n see tribalism creep in.

DAVIDMOE:
The first lesson my brothers should learn is that you don't play politics with emotions. Politics is a war and all the contestant use everything in their disposal to fight it.

The only way for an Igbo man to grab that presidential power is through alignment with other people, but will that happen when we abuse others? No.

If Tinubu becomes president today, El rufai will start nursing the idea of contesting after him because he played a major role in making Tinubu a president.

However, when it comes to my igbo brothers forming alliance with others, our bad mouth will distroy everything.

No body is clean in politics! It is all about personal interest and game of numbers.

I would have loved the outcome of this election if we "the igbos" would have voted en mass for a much popular candidate. At least, when the person wins, we will have hope of getting presidency one day.

We voted against the two major parties which means we may wail for another 4 years

There is no way an Igbo can get power if peter loses this election. To much tribal hatred exists. It's understandable good governance is prayed for but nepotism is just too rooted in the society. All bets is hands of presidential politics.

abduleez1:
Holy fvvk!!
This is not looking good o. Especially when you put in Edo state in perspective and a couple SS states.


Obi has to put up a much better turn out in NW and SW to nullify BAT.

There are good turnout but I just hope 25% is denied to APC in rivers. Labour is not doing badly in expected states UP north. With 25% vote in at least two states in SW odds will remain uncertain for all. (Atiku,BAT &Obi) Lagos and any other state in SW will b nice.

abduleez1:
In what way? Who is leading?
Has Wike mass rigging and intimidation started bearing fruits? 😢

That state should be fully Obi. But Wike's influence might painfully give Tinubu 25%.

obi will win with moderate margin unfortunately. Fingers crossed should the remain lga results come out we will know

Rivers results is frightening. But Lagos is going well

spinna:
More still to come later

nice

I saw only 8 lga pls is there more?

stabilizer:
You people need to go and relax... The heavy load that is coming on you people might send you to coma

Sample : Sokoto State as @ 7.55pm

Shagari LGA
APC - 8,869
NNPP - 2,995
PDP - 7,891
LP - 0

Sokoto North LGA

APC - 21,239
NNPP - 7,167
PDP - 18,886

Sokoto South LGA
APC - 23,637
NNPP - 7,971
PDP - 21,020

These are nice results from the north

Finally I voted 6:16 pm

It's a shame we are yet to start voting 1:45 pm

Can you imagine, no bvas

Finally there have arrived. 12:43 noon.

We are yet to see inec officials in every polling unit in isuikwuato local government Abia state.
Pls if you are in Abia what's the situation in your area. This is 12 noon

I hope buhari makes sure of free and fair election. Then there is no need to worry because propaganda can only lead to a limit.

He is a very stupid fool. I believe he is out of touch with reality. He lacks the intellect to be taken seriously.
