The fact that Trump is the one who set this whole nonsense on motion during his past term and is now acting like he’s about to be the savior is so sinister. There’s nothing evil that man isn’t capable of. If you’re not paying attention to the things he does, you’ll just think he’s a bumbling idiot. But no. Very nefarious man.

I think Elon musk is interested in buying tiktok maybe that's why Trump is against the ban, he might prefer a sale.

brainless pple always trying so hard to rewrite history to dre favour. Image talking Abt and intension base on rumour to d worst coupe in Nigerian history dat led to a civil war.

the brainless people are definitely the ones who think that a coup which killed about 21 people was the worst coup, I have heard the history of the civil war, there is a desperate attempt by the southwest to act like they are the victims of this story, let's agree it was an igbo coup, let's agree the killing of leaders of other region except the Eastern leaders was wrong, but beyond all that this is the true picture for me, when the counter coup occured and aguiyi ironsi was killed and the coup plotters that was justice enough, the military didn't stop at that they went also and murdered hundred of soldiers of Eastern origin who weren't even a part of the coup for me this was terribly wrong, the worst part of it for me which is the highlight of the entire story , was the killing of thousands of civilians of Eastern origin, because of the actions of a coup by military officers, these thousand of igbos which later became millions of death was the highlight of the entire incident, you guys can try to rewrite history by claiming the killing of less than 20 political leaders was worse than killing innocent unarmed civilians for just being igbo, and now trying to gaslight the south east, every right thinking individual should know that the action of the counter coup was extremely out of proportion and evil, I figured you are a yoruba man, would you feel it is justified if Tinubu makes a wrong action for your entire ethnic group to be mass masscared wether they are in govt or not just because of the actions of a fellow yoruba man, no be everything be banter sometimes we use our brain, Nigeria owes the igbos an apology for the mass massacre and ethnic cleansing of innocent igbos, the mass massacre is the bigger picture for me. And btw the Jan 15 was not the bloodiest coup in Nigeria's history.

PressMyButton:
The President has reintroduced history in schools and made it compulsory, so shall we talk history?.
The irony is that those people who struck FIRST without any provocation are the ones crying to be the victims today. According to FFK, let's forget the past, let's move on and forgive but then again, have the perpetrators ever sought for forgiveness?.
Okay, let's move on, but are the perpetrators till date not persistent with same agenda of occupation of all minorities of SS and their lands without respect for their respective identity, drawing them into a map and calling all of them Biafrans as against their wish, should we move on?
Okay, let's move on but have they moved on from the election loss?, till today, they wish the country burn except their own is in power. They can't move on but FFK is asking those whose leaders, families, fathers, mothers, grandparents, great grandparents, families were murdered in cold blood should forget the past when the closure they are seeking for has not been granted them. FFK is lucky, his family was spared, he could have been different if his father was equally murdered before his very own eyes as a little boy. FFK has changed with age, we know what he could have said 5, 10 years ago.
The perpetrators are still holding firm to the 1966 agenda of domination, so, how do we move on?.

look at the insensitive on display, were the innocent over 30 thousand civillians killed unjustly by the Nigerian troops, a part of the coup, were the over 3 million who died a part of the coup, yes as regrettable as the coup of Jan 15 was, it was barbaric but the mass murder of innocent people can never be justified if anyone is to apologize it should be the Nigerian military, but you won't agree because of your ethnic hatred for the igbos, the counter coup might have been justified by go about killing innocent civilians in thousands and millions just because they share same ethnic group with those who killed your polical leaders that was very wrong, and now folks still use this to gaslight the igbos when they were the victims on the biggest injustice and inhumanity in Nigeria's history. I am not igbo but yet when I see so many people try to revisit the civil war history and blame the entire igbo ethnic group for it, I just see it as devilish and evil, the igbos were the biggest casualty of those events and if anyone should apologize it should be the Nigerian state for mass murder of fellow Nigerian civilian citizens due to ethnic hate.

MICHEALADEX:
Then today you scream of nepotism?


Anyways was it only azikiwe that traveled out?


Moreover why the call for Biafra after the counter coup ?

Why wasn’t it the northerners staging the coup since the igbos dominated all major sectors?


The coup was clear and definitely spelt out in the meaning of IBO which is I Before Others.

What lead to the greed was because of the power handed the north so the only way was to kill all the northern leaders and their Yoruba counterparts.



Period.


You can’t rewrite history we already know.

junior military officers carried out a coup and then you blame the entire ethnic group who weren't consulted before the coup, so by your thinking the entire yoruba ethnic group should be blamed and punished for whatever decision Tinubu makes? Furthermore by your list the north was majorly at the receiving end but the north does not carry this issue on their head the way the south west does, and the only reason why you came to that conclusion is because you are already a bigot and your thinking will always be prejudiced, would you hold the same ethnic colouration on the people ( north) who annulled june 12 or who imprisoned MKO guess not, the military staged a coup, ordinary igbos paid for it with the lives civillians who weren't in the military who had no idea of a planned coup, children were starved to death by the Nigerian govt and for some reason the Ronu folks still think they are the victims, recently we saw the killings by the military in okuama community, the army is controlled by a yoruba, same with the presidency, now if the people of that community of okuama decide to go and attack youruba communities in the south west would hold the same opinion, it's crazy how grown men think.

ntyce:
Nothing was twisted...
You forefathers killed leaders of every other tribe but spared yours....

I don't like to address certain issues, the leaders who annulled June 12were mostly from the north I don't see you guys calling it a northern affair but rather a military affair, several other coups took place in Nigeria's history yet there is always an attempt to gaslight a particular ethnic group, Tinubu is leading Nigeria astray with corruption, and nepotism, Tinubu is being criticized as an individual mostly but if Tinubu were igbo, you folks would have rubbed his leadership on the entire igbo ethnic group, I don't think it is a coincidence that Nigeria has had several dark events in his history but only the 1966 coup is being used to revisit history, several coups occured after that they will tell you that that one was an igbo coup, why everyother one was a military coup how convenient. I am not igbo btw, because the default thinking of the bigots is anyone with contrary opinion is igbo.

When my papa was alive, I swear to God, I dey enter Governor's office, governor's house and even governor's private house. We are from same ward from the governor

To burst your bubble, I can't just can't count how many times our then governor came to our house personally, ride on dad's car for disguising.

We are son of an elite not I never chop people

Could you tell us about your own family recognition even in your village?

if you were truly the son of an elite, you wouldn't be the one being given this dehumanising job, my guess is you are just on of those youth, down on his luck, who has nothing working out for him, nothing ambitious to look forward to and then recruited by the APC, and then you think maybe if you can slave dutifully for years you may just climb the political ladder but you know that that is a pipe dream because even though you are a supporter of the APC you are still a bottom feeder, imagine being a bottom feeder in real life and also at the APC, I may be wrong about you though, just my humble assessment.

Since they didn't vote tinubu y do u mock them?

they voted for him but their vote wasn't enough to make him win, yakubu had to step in to do the dirty job.

You don't know Amunike

I know amunike very well, I know he coached the u17 side, his Tanzania stint wasn't outstanding and that's all about it, so on what ground does he deserve the eagles Job.

profmallor:
interesting perspective, however i still have my reservations. Still find it had to believe this man can do better than Amunike would

if I am to consider home based coaches, I wouldn't place amunike on that list, he hasn't done anything worthy of note to deserve the eagles job.

[quote author= post=133641161]All of us at MANNA hope this one will work and stand the test of time.

What a shame[/quote]as I recall during the buhari's adminstration Nigerian air saga, when it was revealed to be a scam, you where one of the political attack dogs who supported the govt, you guys are so shameless.

profmallor:
Amunike's pedigree is far better than this fake story. I think the Government needs to step in now before the NFF cause Nigeria another heart ache

I know his profile may not be inspiring, but lets look at the reality on ground, if you get a foreign European coach now, he may take time for him to get used to the African football pattern, Nigeria cannot afford to lose any games at the world cup qualifiers, you need someone who understands African football/ teams, another thing of note South Africa is our major opponent for the world cup ticket and this same coach defeated them recently at the last afcon 2 nil, that means he understands South Africa and it's playing pattern, finally the Malian team at the afcon was not bad at all they played great, at the afcon

Shadow225:
She is a conservative, she would definitely support Tinubu.

how does her being conservative signify her support for a criminal,

sulaak:
Mali played brilliant football.

yes a bit against the ivorians, at the quarter finals even though they eventually lost but they played a slightly compact football.

Hmmm, something of note, I watched the last afcon, and I kinda admire the Malian team a bit they played some technical football, they may not have gone far at the tournament, maybe with Nigeria's massive talent he can turn things a bit around, even though his profile isn't inspiring, furthermore, our major focus right now is a world cup ticket, and our opponents are fellow African teams, having someone who has played on the continent and understands African football play, style and pattern may just come in handy than bringing a European coach who may probably need time to understand the African football terrain, note also we don't have the liberty to lose anymore games at the qualifiers as we are almost at the bottom of the table.

"Obviously, neither I nor my advisers need a toilet."

Awon team 'saner climes ' with low self esteem and inferiority complex should see this

a reasonable individual with brains would search the internet for things that can help his nation get better, a fool would look out for nations that are doing onething or the other wrong rather than learn from there mistake, would want his country to feel comfortable in abnormalities just because someone else is doing it, I guess the message for you is that we should be ok and rejoice in abnormalities because someone somewhere is doing the same. Ronu folks and foolishness.

Robosky02
You just brought the nostalgic moments of that AFCON game. It was something else but in Club football,Joselu’s quick-fire brace to turn the tie on its head and propel Madrid to another final against Bayern was nothing short of unforgettable moment for me last year.

Though Madrid is not new to comebacks but that moment was something else for me considering I was in the midst of friends that wanted us out by all means.

damn memories, I felt that moment, Nigeria vs South Africa was intense too.

jazzman7711:
You are very stupid with no sense.

Is Nigeria the only country with problems?

Do you know that 40,000 people are shot dead in America every year?

How many Americans have you seen saying to foreigners or on social media, ''Don't go to America or you will get shot''?

Why are they not saying ''Oh, because our leaders won't solve the gun crime issue, we'll de-market the country and warn the world not to visit America because it is unsafe and insecure'', which is your DUNDERHEAD reasoning?

Can your thick head not find anything good to say about your environment when FOREIGNERS can come in and see it and are broadcasting it to the world? Mr self-hatred and inferiority complex.

The other day it was one Cameroonian guy touring Nigeria and showing the world that this country is actually fast developing, contrary to what is commonly thought, due to Nigerians running down and insulting their country online.

It is your type who go telling foreigners not to visit Nigeria.

YET THEY ALL VISIT AND NOTHING HAPPENS.

This video is for utter idiots like you with no common sense.

Every day, ''leaders, leaders, leaders''.

When the world stereotypes your country negatively due to your LOUD MOUTHS, it will not impact a single ONE of those 'leaders'.

It will impact YOU AND YOUR OFFSPRING who will be shunned by the world in business collaboration, investment, tourism, and everything else.

Stupid people with no sense.

Look at a small girl from South Africa schooling you.

Sense of the big picture: ZERO.

you are obviously the one with no sense, Americans speak up about their issues, gun violence is a thing because the media speaks up about it, Americans also speak up, black lives matter, me too,these are all evidence of Americans speaking up criticizing the Ills of their society, by your foolish thinking I guess Martin Luther King was demarketing America when he was fighting against racism, I guess Nelson Mandela, when he exposed the world to what black south africans were going through under apartheid, Lee Kuan yew when he became prime minister often spoke on the poverty level in Singapore even to international media outlets, why? Because he had a plan to fix it, the only reason why the govt has a serious problem with Nigerians speaking up is because they have no plan to fix these issues, they want you to get comfortable with corruption, lack of development, they want you to settle for whatever they offer no matter how mediocre and they pay brain dead zombies like you to defend them, the guy you quoted is right, it is the govt actions that demarkets a nation, Nigerians are migrating to south korea, Australia canada, because these nations are good countries was it an average Canadian that sold Canada to Nigerians?, do you see Canadians online marketing Canada to Nigeria? How many Nigerians do you know who relocated to Australia simply because they saw Australian marketing Australia to them? You mumu no be small.

NaMe4:
The Ikwerres have always been a distinct people and asserted their identity. The Igbos have always tried to play these games especially from the colonial periods. There are a lot of accounts from even Dutch and English colonialists and explorers narrating how Igbos always delibrately attempted to subdue the Ikwerre (and other groups) language(s). There are documented accounts from these people.

One of their gimmicks (up till today in their pursuit of biafra) is delibrately attempting to make their language a dominant language over the indiginous language(s), then give false narratives of history.

Additionally, in the pre-colonial era, one of the major factors which necessitated many of these indigenous groups make efforts at learning the Igbo language was for trade; especially during the slave trade era when Igbos were mostly sold as slaves by fellow Igbos, and indigenes in these coastal areas acted as middlemen. There was no structured educational system which would have necessitated the use of a lingua franca such as English as we have today. Unfortunately, such system has further made many descendants of various groups lose understanding of their languages.

That's why delibrate attempts MUST be made to ensure indigenes have good command of their indigenous languages. Majority of your radio stations and other media, when not using the official lingua franca of Nigeria (English) should broadcast in your local indigenous languages.

The so-called leaders in these areas MUST rise up to their responsibilities or considered sabotuers.

kingsways:
Changes nothing if someone is misguided.

An Igbo man will not stop being Igbo because a few people are misguided

I will never accept that Ikwerres are not Igbos unless they all change their names and stop speaking Igbo Language

Someone must explain to me why Ikwerres speak Igbo Language

my own theory is this, I think historically the ikwerrre ethnic group comprised of majority of people who migrated from other ethnic group, we have heard a theory of the ikwerrre migrating from Benin, I think also some also migrated from the south east too, so each clan has its own origin history you might meet an ikwerrre man who identify as igbo maybe because his ancestry confirms it, you might meet another who hates to identify as igbo also because his ancestry may not be from the south east, another might also identify with the Benin kingdom probably because his ancestry is from there, now on why they all bear igbo names this might also be due to ethnic dominance for centuries, by this I think the ikwerrre ethnic group does not have a singular ancestry and they know this just my theory.

Just this once, I'd just tell you: you are not exactly bright. If you studied law, I am sure you had an "E" in Evidence Law. Even a dunce knows that video evidence is admissible if it satisfies certain requirements.

I suggest you give Section 84 of the Evidence Act to your Rottweiler to read and explain it to you, since you are irreparably dull to read it and understand, which may have prevented you from humiliating yourself and the university that awarded you a degree. Also see the ruling on video evidence by the Supreme Court. I know you won't understand because you barely passed Evidence Law after carrying it over twice, that the Dean of Law had to give you a pass so you'd stop embarrassing the faculty and the university.

Please I can't waste time on your sick reasoning again.

so who gets to decide, the police or the judge? You keep talking of evidence law, when the accused was never charged to court, people like you represent all that is wrong in society, you know nothing stop embarrassing yourself.

Northern leaders need to sit up

CAF award dates ain't fixed

I know but it usually takes place in the year specifically towards the end, while next year's afcon will take place from dec 2025 to Jan 2026 unless the CAF awards for 2025 is shifted to 2026.

femi4:
Not enough, next yr is afcon year...it will count

afcon will happen in December 2025, after the CAF player of the year award would have been announced, afcon 2025 can only influence CAF player of the year 2026

For those criticising this move,ask yourself whether you prefer the president and his aides to ride on a danfo bus instead of bulletproof vehicles.

It cost alot buying and maintaining them,if you must criticize pls do that with sense.

Not a Tinubu fan.

mumu people everywhere, they spent billions last year to buy vehicles for these same people, the year before that same thing, billions was also spent to renovate the villa last year so vehicles will be changed every year, mumu people like this are the reason govt will continue using una head, foolish people everywhere.

Thunderfayamods:
It is not politicians it is the people especially IGBOS. Since they lost the election nearly everybody turned their enemies especially Yorubas. If you check you will see that it wasn't bad like this under Buhari.

not true it is the other way round, I am not igbo so don't think I am being bias, while both side has a number of idiots, but the yoruba folks are the major culprits here, your observation about the election is wrong, when Tinubu ran for president he was being criticized as an individual candidate, while obi was being criticized for being igbo,and this narrative was spearheaded by the yoruba folks especially the Ronu gang, the yoruba folks are by far the greater tribalist as far as this forum is concerned, that's just the fact.
