Dougad:
The letter clearly says leave or file an application to stay.

What am I missing?

Yes, it means it's either he leaves (as he has ceased to be on a dependant visa due to his wife filing for that) or he applies for another visa category perhaps student, work or something else. You and I know that's near impossible especially if the time frame given for him to do that, October 23rd, just a month plus. If he decides to go for student, before he gets admission and gathers money for proof of fund and all that, the time has lapsed.

Omobada:

Stop exposing your ignorance. Councillors are not equate the Governors. They are legislative members at the local government level just like the House of Assembly at the state level or the National Assembly at the Federal level. In view of the above, it's needless to tell you whether they have such power or not. Mind you, I'm not in anyway supporting their rascality but just to educate you.

The fool you quoted has his ignorant audience who don't care whether what he said is correct or not. As far as it's meant to demean Yorubas, it must be celebrated by the animals. The number of likes the poorly educated guy garnered with that asinine post should tell you the IQ level of the set of people he is pandering to.

According to the Nairaland Classification model i built, this news is correctly placed in the FAMILY category. I will be posting the tutorial soon of how I built this with Tensorflow which is a Python deep learning library. Give me a follow

Which deep learning algorithm did you use for your model? This is more of a text classification/topic modeling problem. What was your model's accuracy?

I also want to believe you got your dataset (corpus) from Nairaland. How did you scrape for the texts?

ilajes are not yorubas..
How about your oil in Lagos.
Mugu we know una well..
Camelions of the highest order

You be big mumu. Imagine an Igbo man wanting to lecture me on the history of Ilajes. Why some of una no just get sense like this. Such an idiot,saying Ilajes are not Yorubas. Go and look at Ilaje people like Seyi Law, Sean Tizzle and Small doctor in the face and tell them they are not Yorubas, if they won't curse the hell out of you. Idiot shifting goal post after I educated him that Ilajes possess the most oil in Ondo state when he has been stupidly claiming oil in Ondo state belong to Ijaws. Read and educate your ignorant self before making a fool of yourself online.

keep quite..
Are ijaws supposed to be in ondo state while our own communities where dashed to other states.

You're an idiot. Have you heard of Ilaje before? The majority of oil in Ondo state is in Ilajeland and Ilajes are purely Yoruba. Before you exchange words with me, educate yourself first.

Nigeria is not a normal place honestly. I thought local governments are meant to be a separate and independent arm of government. Why this show of shame. Gosh.

rummmy:
Tinubu apppointing yorubas where they dont belong..
See how NDDC take comot from the owners hand and is now a national choppings.
Smh

Tell me which Yoruba don't belong in NDDC? Someone has educated you lots up there that the oil in Ondo state alone is almost equivalent to what Abia, Imo and Edo states combined together produce. I'm sure you have no problem with those other 3 states included but your perpetual hate for Yorubas which will kill you and make you amount to nothing is what is making you question the legitimate right of Ondo state being in the NDDC. Should I call this stupidity, wickedness or ignorance?

aswani:


I genuinely hope you have an answer for me because none of the people making this claim previously have been able to.

If President Tinubu is so powerful that he could have reduced the margin of votes drastically in Lagos state, why didn't he just reduce it up to the point that he would have won?

You and I know if President Tinubu had been declared winner in Lagos state, even you Obidients wouldn't have batted an eyelid.

Those people are extremely delusional. They're shouting Tinubu rigged in Lagos to reduce the margin of loss to Obi. If indeed Tinubu has such power to rig, why didn't he rig to win outrightly in his own home state, Lagos?

MichaelSokoto:

Akwa ibom dat his wife hails from?

if d thinking part of ur brain functions well at all, dat akwa ibom result alone should inform u dat u either need a brain upgrade or total change...

buh wat can I say?
na u get ur brain!

So you think Obi's wife is a stronger political factor in Akwa Ibom than the then incumbent governor, Udom Emmanuel and other PDP bigwigs in the state, and also not forgetting the fact that Akwa Ibom has always been a traditional PDP state? Was it also INEC that rigged for Atiku in Akwa Ibom to win the state by 44%? I thought INEC only rigged for Tinubu according to you Obidients.

Web2020:
The great Benin, No Bini no Life. Bini gave life to your ancestors, I am talking to the Yoruba. Don't argue with me go and ask your father.

Benin can not be cow to support the ancestor you called the president

I'm trying to understand this see finish you Benin people are doing to Yorubas since this last election. I can understand that of Igbo as a majority tribe also but for ordinary Benin, it's just funny to me.

You claim to give somebody life but that tribe today dwarfs you in all manner of accomplishments within and outside the country. If we are talking about Nigeria today, what makes to mind is Yoruba and Igbo. I'm sure many people outside Nigeria don't even there are people called Benin in Nigeria. So stop clowning around trying to compare yourselves with your masters, the Yorubas. Una too small abeg. Small yansh wey dey shake. That's what Benin is to Yorubas.

cybersoldiers:


The same you people that comes to Nairaland to become beggars with a different name. Una suffering and pain never start.

Non Yoruba's helping any Yoruba at this point in time should stop. They must learn to be truthful and sincere.

You're an idiot for this comment. Many ardent Peter Obi supporters are Yorubas but because of the comment of an anonymous person on Nairaland, you feel you have to insult the entire tribe. How many help can your type render anyone, to talk about Yorubas coming to ask for help from you.

fineboynl:
But buhari close the southern border. Is that not wickedness?

And these Northerners kept quiet. They were enjoying the show them as he left their own borders open. Buhari was indeed the worst thing to happen to Nigeria.

rofanx13:


A Yoruba man is the director of Enugu state broadcasting service

I know this recent ESBS appointment is what you Igbos will feast on for years to deceive yourself that you allow other tribes get appointments in your enclave, when Igbos have been getting appointments in the South West since time immemorial. You can see the ESBS in almost all comments of Igbos on the thread. A one in a million appointment.

colossus91:


Go to funai we have loads of yorubas there even the first VC was Yoruba, in as much as I don't support the move but learn to get your facts right!

You're using a federal University as an example, so funny. Do you know how many Igbo lecturers and staff are in Unilag and UI? Please don't go that route. An Igbo man, Kenneth Dike was made the first VC of UI.

Clickairtravels:
Very tribalistic lot go to EU and Western world you will hear them shouting discrimination while na them hate pass.
Igbos are Nigeria senior brother love him or hate him.

You no well. You always use western world or EU as your examples but you can never cite your Anambra or Imo state as examples. Hypocrites. The local government is the closest to the people in any government setting. How can you impose a non-indigene of a place to oversee their affairs as the chairman of the local government? Where is that done? Such an abberation. It seems Betty Akeredolu is biting more than she can chew.

Omodua:
He is Ijaw from ESA ODO,river line area of the state. They bear such names.
He is not original Yoruba protegy.

Stop saying what you don't know with so much confidence. Lucky Aiyedatiwa is not Ijaw and he's not from Ese-Odo. He's an Ilaje man from Ilaje LGA in Ondo state. Ilajes are a Yoruba sub-group both culturally and linguistically. There are some of them who are indigenous to Lagos state too like former governor Ambode. They trace their origin to Ile-Ife like other Yoruba sub-groups. The only truth in what you said is that he's from a riverine community which makes them traditionally fishermen. They only share close affinity with Arogbo-Ijaws and Ijaw-Apoi (Sowore's place) in Ese-Odo LGA, the Ikales in Okitipupa and Irele LGAs and Itserikis in Delta state.

If accepting gifts is bribe,then the UK police should also be charged for same. They accept donations, attend private parties with gifts given, the childrens attend well funded government school on scholarship from private citizens, etc. If she is corrupt,trace her act with bypassing process, money launding, theft, etc.

Do you even know the difference between a gift and a bribe? Even when it was clearly written in the article that she accepts these your so called "gifts" in exchange of issuing oil and gas contracts to her "gifters", you're still asking this kind of question. Why are Nigerians like this?

TheGiftedOne:


UniIorin, UNN, Uniben and other reputable schools are playgrounds abi? Your hands were faster than your slow-to-boot brain I guess.

You better remove Uniben from that list.

igwebuike01:
These are yorubas who have travelled and mixed up with Igbos

Are you implying that for a Yoruba person to do anything commendable, he needed to have mixed with Igbos first? That's a very shallow thinking and mentality.

#Kudos to our own HON IFY OBINABO

Woman that made me love listening to news during her days at ABS

Kudos to Hon Ify Ibinabo for what exactly please? Give honours to the person whom it is due to, which is the investigative journalist Fisayo who did the job of Ibinabo for her. She had no choice than to spring to action after Fisayo had made the story viral.

This is an attack on freedom speech.

Can't we hold the judiciary accountable any longer?

Is it a lie that all eyes are on the Judiciary?

This government is getting sadder by the day.

Saying all eyes are on the judiciary is good enough, but going further to dictate to them the kind of judgement you want isn't holding them accountable but clearly blackmailing them emotionally. What message does the words: "Well meaning Nigerians are in court to reclaim our mandate" as written in those billboards pass across to the judiciary? They're telling the judiciary to upturn the results of the election.

freeborn02:


The billboard didn't say they should declare Obi as winner. So, how did you see it as a threat to the government?

Is your conscience pricking you that tinubu was rigged into office?

What do the words: "Well meaning Nigerians are in court to reclaim our mandate" as written in those billboards mean to you?

jaxxy:


judgement going against anyone isn't the issue bt the judiciary doing the right thing and following the constitution.

all eyes on the judiciary mean the judiciary should follow the law and justice by following the law.

that is not a threat

They didn't stop at saying all eyes are on the judiciary in those billboards. They clearly stated what would be acceptable to them only from the judiciary - which is reclaiming their mandate. They're clearly dictating to the judiciary. That's a threat.

Angelfrost:


Preempt?!!... Is it that you don't know what that word really means?!!

What is preemptive or blackmailing about urging a critical sector of the nation's leadership to be incorruptible and honest?!!

These words were clearly written in those billboards: "Well meaning Nigerians are in court to reclaim our mandate". This is not a call to be incorruptible and honest, but rather dictating to the judiciary the kind of judgement they're expecting from them, which is to upturn the results INEC declared. That's a clear emotional blackmail.

Bunkbars:
in this country, called Nigeria. I have come to the belief. That there is no smoke without fire.

If it's not true, give evidence. It's simple. The truth will definitely set you free.

All this use of DSS will generate alot of hate, which is unhealthy for the unity of this country.

Worst was said, to Goodluck, by this same APC, and Goodluck never used the military or DSS to intimidate anyone. Even once, he never did.

These are the same politicians treated like third class citizens abroad. Playing demigod in Nigeria.

The unity of this country is getting close to dividing. Tinubu was never voted for. Even by the yoruba youths. This is an abuse on the constitution.

Goodluck was a public servant, the President,same as Buhari and Tinubu. Did you see any of the other 2 people also arrest people because they were insulted? Definitely not. They know how these things work because they're in public service. But Fashola since 29th May 2023 has become a private citizen like you and me, and so you can't hide under the cloak of saying he's in public office to say all manner of rubbish against him without proofs. Just the same way Emeka Offor and Eniola Badmus both private citizens arrested their defamers, is Fashola entitled to do same especially for allegations as grave as these. At least the likes of David Hundeyin and Jackson Ude (the originator of this Fashola story) were smart enough to dish out their stuffs from "safe" havens, out of immediate reach from Nigerian institutions like the DSS unlike this Reporta blogger who remained here in Nigeria to defame people.

Akaegwu:
They just collected their 30k last week. Another one by next month.

At least they have 30k to show for it but you that shouted Ellu P 75 have nothing to show after doing Ellu P top to bottom. You can see the angels in Ellu P you voted as senators were there in the Senate chamber with Akpabio and never protested against the holiday enjoyment allowance but quietly collected their share. The joke is on you.

My prayer is Ecowas leaves Niger alone to do whst it wants, bcus if they return Bazoum back the people of Niger go come vex for Nigeria. Make boko haram no come double oo

What I don't understand is that Bazoum is a democratic president that was voted in because he got the majority of votes of Nigeriens. His election was not controversial like that of Tinubu in Nigeria, meaning he was fairly popular. Why are they then suddenly celebrating his ouster by the junta, as if he was imposed on them in the first place? These things aren't adding up.

Curse777:


Any university lecturer is a professor

We have two types of professor, post PhD and Lecturers

At the bolded, t's only in some places like the US this holds sway and even so, it's used an adjective for their job description just the same way you'd use teacher, tailor, mechanic etc as job descriptions but not as a former title preceding the name of the person as is the case of Okonjo-Iweala in this thread, except the person has truly attained the highest academic rank in the University which Okonjo-Iweala hasn't. She isn't a lecturer even though she has a PhD.

Since when did Okonjo-Iweala become a Professor. Same way they were addressing Chimamanda as Professor on Twitter. Address people by their correct titles please.
