Tinubu is the worst. Everything is dead and falling apart. People don't really grasp the depth of the rot in the country.
Kicking Tinubu out of office in 2027 is a task for all Nigerians.

I know you wanna kill me and I'd kneel down just like that. No! I'd try my best before we see how it'd end.
Same thing I always say to those around me.
Death is the only guarantee in life.
And when it shows up, don’t die like a coward, go with some pride.
Society prefers obedience even in the face of death, people will always say don't fight back don’t resist.
But the brutal truth is when fleeing is not an option, resistance and fighting back might just keep you alive.

PoliticsRe: Igbos Need To Abandon Trade Culture by shortgun(m): 11:34am On Jul 28, 2025
aribisala0:
Nobody trades like that anymore on a major scale
Throwing in buzz phrases like seamless supply chain is just egoistic
That is sole trader type business model
Retail is dominated by billion dollar companies like Amazon, Walmart Alibaba etc

No Ibo trader can get audience with the CEOs of Apple, Sony, Samsung,Toyota, Michelin or Dangote



Big time manufacturers talk to big time retailers that is COMPANIES

The Iboes do not understand companies or business legacy
Most businesses started by an Ibo man dies with him
This comment reeks of ignorance the kind that glorifies billion-dollar corporations while ignoring the very systems those companies are now copying from what Igbo traders and SMEs have done for decades.

As someone with a degree in business, let me educate you for free.

Across the world today, governments are actively promoting small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) as the backbone of economic development.
The World Bank, UNDP and even G7 countries push for entrepreneurship, localized production, value chains and inclusive growth exactly what Igbos have been doing since post-war Nigeria!


Why?
Because studies have shown that the overreliance on giant corporations like Walmart, Amazon or Dangote does not reduce poverty, does not empower communities and does not build resilient sustainable local economies. These corporations centralize wealth, automate jobs and eliminate competition while millions remain poor and dependent.

Big corporations don’t build nations small businesses do.
The U.S. economy for example, has over 33 million small businesses which account for over 99% of all employers.
Even in China, SMEs are responsible for 80% of urban jobs.
You really don’t understand how business works. CEOs don’t build economies...producers, buyers, and sellers do. Half of Apple’s supply chain is powered by micro-contractors and SMEs across Asia. Toyota's parts suppliers include hundreds of third-tier vendors who started small.
The biggest companies depend on ecosystems of small businesses to function!


You said Igbos don't understand business legacy and I laugh in Harvard cheesy
The Igbo apprenticeship system (Igba Boi) has now become a case study at Harvard and it’s being explored globally as a model for wealth transfer, mentorship and generational business sustainability.

You see, the difference is this:
While others idolize corporate boardrooms, Igbos build empires from markets. While you worship billionaires, they’re training the next generation through real-world business education on the street, in shops and in strategy.
That’s an organic economic strategy on steroids and not some imported foreign theory. cool

danvon:
I don't think people should be applauded for destabilizing their region's economy by abandoning their main produce for centuries and becoming dependent on other regions.
So let me get this straight. A people devastated by war, stripped of assets, denied access to federal support and politically sidelined still managed to rebuild themselves through trade, self-reliance and enterprise…..and your complaint is that they didn’t stay in the village to farm yams and vegetables for your comfort?
It’s pathetic, really. Igbos aren’t in power, yet you blame them for your failures.
They’re not writing your policies, not holding your oil blocks, not controlling your budgets but they’re still your biggest fear?
This not politics anymore it's envy and hate on steroids.

PoliticsRe: Igbos Need To Abandon Trade Culture by shortgun(m):
Really? So we should now demonize ambition to make Igbos look badcheesy
The Igbos didn’t abandon farming they diversified. Unlike groups who sat around waiting for colonial leftovers the Igbos adapted, embraced trade, industry and built businesses from scratch... even in hostile environments. I think they should be applauded.

All these will not stop Tinubu from being kicked out of office in 2027.
He has proven to be a failure and we continue to reject him

That's Obasanjo's stupid decree that was never domesticated anywhere after he left office as a military dictator.

Ancestral lands are stil recognised in the SS and SW.

Maybe in your erosion ravaged village , FG owns all lands but it's not applicable in both the SS and SW.
Is it that you guys like to be mischievous or you are densely ignorant?
All the land in Nigeria is for all Nigerians!

PoliticsRe: Igbos Want To Take Over Our Land by shortgun(op): 7:10am On Jul 28, 2025
DomPerignon:
Most of Abia state was once Qua Iboe land .

Go and read up on how the son of an Effik king born to an Ibo woman went to call his in-laws to assist him in fighting the bonafide heir to the throne and how that led to Ibos capturing what was once Effik land.

FYI, chatgpt is only as intelligent as who it interacts with.
There's no historical or archaeological record showing that any part of Abia State was ever Qua Iboe or Effik land. The Igbos are indigenous to Abia and its surrounding areas with deep linguistic, cultural and ancestral roots that predate colonial-era boundaries. I dare you to mention any indigenous Efik or Ibibio community that was taken over by Igbos. What you are doing is mischievously trying to rewrite history and we will never let that happen!
On the contrary, facts actually show that indigenous igbo communities were carved into the present day Akwa Ibom state, just like it happened in every state bordering the southeast.
Communities like

Ikot Udo

Obo Ntong

Ikot Offiong

Mbiabong Ikot Udofia

Ndon Utim

Ndok

Ikot Ekpene Udo

These are all indigenous Igbo communities that are now politically counted as Akwa Ibom state.
Go read actual historical texts and not beer parlor gossips.
FYI, Chatgpt works fine , it’s just allergic to nonsense.
PoliticsRe: Igbos Want To Take Over Our Land by shortgun(op): 10:20pm On Jul 27, 2025
hardbody:

Under the Land Use Act 1978 )LFN) (an existing law), all land belongs to the Federal/State Government (as the case may be) so land does not revert to ancestral owners but to government. Even what you call possession is only a Right of Occupancy evidenced by a Certificate.
That's the problem with most of them, they are mostly ignorant of even the most basic things. Imagine what that one is saying

Well said.

Please say or try the same Bragado in the North.

Up till today, some of our Igbo friends died without getting their properties back in Port Harcourt. All of you got your rent in escrow and properties back in the West and some of you still deny it.
Well, the War ended in 1970, lessons were learned. It would be delusional to think there will ever be a repeat of it.
That chapter of history is closed forever.
There's alot you don't know about the war.

Anyone waiting for any Igbo man to abandon his property for you to take over, will be waiting for a very long time.
EducationRe: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by shortgun(m):
This dress code circular from Obafemi Awolowo University is not only draconian in content but embarrassingly sloppy in execution. For an academic institution that prides itself on intellectual excellence, this document is riddled with misspelled words, grammatical blunders and inconsistencies. If you’re going to police students’ appearance with such intensity the bare minimum is to do it with proper English.


Instead of equipping students to face the real world, you’re turning the university into a 1970s military barracks. If OAU put half this energy into fixing hostels, updating curricula, or paying lecturers maybe we wouldn’t be here talking about dress codes written like a failed WAEC essay.

Universities are supposed to prepare students for a diverse and globalized world not shame and punish them into submission. OAU as an institution is clearly stuck in the past

Who is talking about business?
If you are talking about business,you are still below the Yorubas in that but you make more noise.
When I said "loquacious",I was talking about your delusion of saying you have bought all of Yorubaland,no man's land and other stupid things your people say.
You are not the only tribe in Yorubaland but you are the most loquacious and negatively talkative.
Leave calmly with your hosts just like Yorubas leave with hosts and there will not be any grouse.
You're clearly rattled.
You say we talk too much? No, we speak truth and what really burns you is that we’re not afraid to say the things the way they are

Let’s cut the crap. Your problem isn’t loquaciousness. Your problem is that Igbos don’t kneel to your tribal entitlement complex.
You hate that we won’t vote for your preferred candidates in every election circle.
You hate that we thrive without your approval. And you hate that despite all your efforts to shame or silence us, we’re still here, still bold, still building and still not begging.


You say “live calmly with your hosts" Don't make me laugh. Who exactly do you think you are? You don’t own Yorubaland any more than an Edo man owns Benin or a Hausa man owns Kano.
This is Nigeria, a republic and not a feudal kingdom where people need your permission to exist. Igbos are legal residents in any part of Nigeria!
We’re not your tenants, we’re your equals....it is boldly written in the constitution of Nigeria. So deal with it.



The Igbo man will never be you or behave like you or any other ethnic group! and thank God for that. He’ll never bow to silence to massage your premitive ego. He’ll speak, vote, build and shine whether it annoys you or not. We’re not here to blend in. We’re here to stand out!
The last person you'll want to bully into submission is the Igbo man. He'll rather die..this is why we are born free..we have no kings and bow to no man.
This is exactly what makes us who we are and we will unapologetically remain so
