Hahahahahaha the way this southerners behave surprised me hmm. Useless people, no unity, they don't love themselves and they will be shouting marginalisation . Tell me, this woman wouldn't have been rejected if she a northerner "yan'arewa" no amount of protest or petition would make the power that be respect her. But this is the true colour of our southern people

While the north's tendency to support its people whether or not they have sense has helped them politically, it has also resulted in their region being the most impoverished in the country. The SS and SE people crying about marginalisation are more wealthy and better educated than the people marginalising them. So feel free to continue gloating, but the joke is on you.

It is now I see that education is a bane of lack of common sense and intelligence among the yorubas. No wonder uneducated ones like Sunday Igboho are full of brilliance and initiative that is uncomparable to none. Even professors can't compete. Check the facts for yourselves.

What are you trying to say? Can you explain it to us in a simple, straightforward way?

According to the Nation Online, Hon. Olusegun Odebunmi from Oyo State, who recently introduced a bill to control the press in Nigeria, has suspended the bill temporarily to allow for consultation for 3, 4 or 5 weeks, after which he will bring it back and try to get it passed again.

The lawmaker representing Ogo Oluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency in Oyo State, Olusegun Odebunmi, who sponsored the bills for amendments of laws establishing the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and the Nigeria Press Council (NPC), has stated the legislative process on the bills has been suspended for further consultations.

He spoke following widespread protests by the print media against the media regulation bill being debated at the House of Representatives.

“Personally, I’m suspending the process for more consultation,” he stated.“What I’m saying is that the NUJ cannot gag the activities of the national assembly by saying ‘No you must drop it’, because obviously, that is not the way.

“We have suspended the process for more consultation to happen on it. They demanded for a lot of time and I said ‘no problem, we have given you; even if you spend three, four to five weeks.

“So far, more consultations from critical stakeholders, and many people have been submitting their memoranda to the national assembly even within the industry.

“My intention is not to gag the press and unless all the practitioners can say all is well with the industry, to the best of my knowledge I know all is not well. And I know the National Assembly has the power to look into the existing act.

“All is not well with the NPC agency. It is an agency of government and you’re expecting something to be given back to the society but until now nothing has been coming from the agency.”

What do you think? Is the suspension necessary? Should Hon Odebunmi bring back the bill after 5 weeks, or should he drop it completely?

Now they will nominate Alhaji Sheik Imam Hussein Azeez Mustapha Muhammad Ali Adamu.

Tell them about Paystack and other companies built by young people that have raised millions of dollars in this same Nigeria.

FreeIgbos:
You did a great job of compiling this list. However, you forgot some of the most notorious ones like monogany and simplyleo. Even one of mods is also among them. It's indeed very shameful.

Which of the mods?

blackprick:
I have notice so many paid pro Government propagandists, defending security agencies in each and every thread. Seems they were long waiting for this day. The accounts are registered as females and also males but I bet they emanate from the same group.

Most of them just creates accounts today. Like one account name Prince of lagos is on every thread.

They came from Twitter.

No picture?

Excelinpages:
It may be that there were actual clicks but when the users saw or noticd it requested they open WhatsApp that they backed off.

I'd go with this explanation.

Did you use any other link attribution method to track performance e.g Google UTM, bitly? That can also help you drill down. As a matter of principle, I always advice marketers to use a link attribution mechanism e.g link shortener or utm tags to monitor what is happening with the links.

Please do this. Whatsapp is not the best way to independently track clicks. Use a url shortener as suggested and let me know what you find.

ceaser:
Fulanis' idea of governance is one that wrecks havoc to economies and destroys families and communities.

Even their comments on Nairaland on many issues betray that fact and confirms that opinion/iea as true.

The leopard does not change its spot.

Wow I skipped that part when I read the documents. An Arewa republic would really suck.

nurex01:
Nigeria is blessed with Resources but the people are the problem.

People are our greatest resource but we need to educate them and give them skills.

EgunMogaji2:
Are you saying that Segalink is defending the ban?

Thanks.

no. Mistake.

ednut1:
Seun when you go talk on clubhouse

I'm so shy. I don't even remember how to talk.

Adamu Garba supports devaluation of the naira, he thinks naira is over-valued and thus 'supports the government' as naira is falling.

Adamu Garba just said that he supports ranching, despite being a Fulani who owns cows. But he says that the law currently supports it.

Adanu Garba just claimed that he doesn't support censorship.

DarlingtonC:
What kind of silly update is this?

Nobody fvcking needs this update. Looks like you are being paid for it.

What rubbish

It's a rare opportunity to talk back to the authoritarians who are making life so difficult for us.

Deyemi the actor's question is not very good. This guy needs to be questioned by professionals, not amateurs.

LadyBlaq:
You all are the real MVPs. Lekiboe, Frank, Anon, Uzomachukwu, Baphil, Lianna, Shuppy, my darling Sis Bisola, infact, all of you, God will continue to bless you all. Special shout out to Oga Seun for creating this impactful forum, i am happy to have known this great family...

This morning, as i logged in as per my usual ritual, I saw correspondence letter and PPR request sitting pretty on my page long before a mail dropped.

My application was tacky at best, i couldn't pray to save myself, i guess the prayers and good wishes of everyone and my family&friends made a way for me to be found worthy. I pray for this uncommon Grace for all PPR hopefuls, together we will all celebrate..

Congratulations!!

We will investigate.

Adamu has taken a 30 minute break but promised to come back.

Sugabelly's Questions:
1. Why do you see free speech as the problem and not for the govt to listen to their complaints and act right?
2. Why did your Crowwe app unnecessarily collect the personal information of Nigerians?

VillagePipu:
Not interested. Maybe the poster below me will be. I'll rather listen to a chicken bark than listen to the nonsense he will vomit.

He's getting his ass whooped over there. Clubhouse is not NTA. It's not even Arise TV.

Adamu Garba, the Crowwe App guy, is speaking on Clubhouse right now. Enjoy.
