PoliticsRe: Growing Up In The West It Is Hard To Believe Yoruba Igbo Relationship Today by shortgun(m):
Putinofrussia:
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
PoliticsRe: I Will Come To Edo Again – Peter Obi Dismisses Okpebholo’s Threat by shortgun(m): 8:58pm On Jul 24, 2025
The Governor doesn't own Edo state or any part of Nigeria. Peter Obi is a Nigerian citizen and he can go to any part of the country as a Nigerian

Putinofrussia:
Watch your mouths too.You can't do this in the North.
SW people are the most accommodate people but you people are mostly negatively loquacious.
You clearly know nothing about the North. Igbos are not only present there, they’re thriving and deeply rooted.

Let me school you a bit.
There’s a whole town in Kano called Sabon Gari and I’m not exaggerating when I say 95% of the properties there are owned by Igbos. Step into that place and you’d think you just entered Aba or Onitsha. That’s how dominant and established the Igbo presence is in the North.
And it’s not just Kano. Go to Kaduna in Sabon Tasha, Jos’ Ahmadu Bello Way or parts of Bauchi and Minna you’ll find entire business districts owne and driven by Igbo enterprise.
Even in Sokoto, Maiduguri and Yola, you’ll find Igbo businesses, spare part markets, hotels, electronics shops flourishing.


So this lame narrative about Igbos not being able to "do this in the North" is nonsense.
They’ve done it, they’re doing it and they’ll keep doing it. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians irrespective of state of origin

And by the way, saying SW people are the “most accommodating” while threatening others in the same breath. It is peak double standard. If you claim to be accommodating then act like it don’t spew tribal insecurity because others are succeeding around you.

Yes,but Yorubas are even "more everywhere" than Igbos because it is only Yoruba that we saw in the coldest region in the world and even in space. grin
No Igbo will dare go to those places.They don't have the liver.
Exactly! And that’s why it’s laughable when some people start foaming at the mouth about “non-indigenes” living in Lagos or elsewhere.
Here you are bragging about being in the coldest regions of the world and even in space..places where nobody knows or cares about your tribal identity and you’re accommodated.

If you’ve got the liver to survive in space, surely you should have the liver to tolerate fellow Nigerians on earth..especially in a country you don't even own alone.
Stop acting like landlords of a nation built by everyone.

If you have a brain you'll know there’s nothing wrong with Igbos living or doing business across Nigeria.Mobility is a sign of enterprise, not failure!

Europeans, Arabs, and Chinese are found all over the world does that mean their homelands are uninhabitable? Of course not. It's called global presence and economic expansion.

Every state government directs its funds to developmental programs that will benefit every Nigerian resident in that state, irrespective of their state of origin.

So if 40% of the indigenes from each states from South East have relocated or migrated to other part of the country , what precisely have your governors been doing with the excess resources? You guys never even bother to ask such question
There is no law in Nigeria that restricts any ethnic group even if it's 100% of a region’s population from relocating to another part of the country. The Igbo people are known for their entrepreneurial spirit and adventurous nature you'll find them in virtually every nation on earth, let alone within Nigeria. As long as Nigeria remains a single, united entity.... peaceful coexistence is the only option

What is your index of "invisible in global diplomacy"...Your country has signed deals, has addressed the West, global south and key middle eastern nations. Experts around the world from Breton Woods, to Wall Streets have acknowledged the direction and approved the economic direction/agenda of your government.
Being censorious isn't opposition; anybody can do it. Gather your thoughts well and provide sound opposition.
Being applauded by Bretton Woods institutions, Wall Street pundits or Western powers isn't a badge of honor when the local economy is bleeding and citizens are dying of starvation. These are the same institutions that have praised every failed African reform since the 1980s.!
If your current diplomacy is so impactful, show us one deal signed in the last year that has improved the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

Deals don’t negotiate themselves. Global influence isn’t built on press statements or foreign praise, it’s built on strategic presence, boots on the ground. And that’s exactly why ambassadors matter.

While I'm not against the appointment of Ambassadors, maybe it's time to do a CBA( cost benefit analysis) of such appointments. What is the real opportunity cost. Esp when we look at past governments vs current status... what benefit did Nigeria really lose?
We’ve become invisible in global diplomacy while other nations strengthen ties, sign deals, and push their agenda.
That silence isn’t saving us money ,it’s costing us relevance.

instead of asking if we need ambassadors, maybe ask why a government that can fund to renovate buildings with billions, fund luxury convoys, bloated aides and endless political appointments suddenly “can’t afford” critical foreign representation.

You think it’s okay for a whole country to have no ambassadors anywhere in the world for nearly two years? That's strategic stupidity.

If you can't tell the difference between wasteful appointments and critical diplomatic roles then maybe it's best you sit this one out.

Nigeria isn’t broke because we have ambassadors, we’re broke because we keep defending incompetence at the expense of patriotism.

PoliticsRufai Makes Shocking Revelation About Tinubu by shortgun(op): 8:26pm On Jul 22, 2025
Since 2023, Tinubu fired every Nigerian ambassador without a plan, without replacements and without a clue.
Today, Nigeria has no ambassadors anywhere in the world not even at the United Nations.

None. Zero. Zilch!

What kind of country deliberately silences its own voice on the global stage? What kind of leader watches it happen and does nothing?

Investors are watching. Foreign governments are confused. Nigerians abroad are suffering.
Meanwhile, Tinubu and his gang are too busy playing politics and sharing appointments like party favors.


Diplomatic missions are not decoration pieces. They are vital organs of a nation’s survival in a global economy and Tinubu has yanked the cord and left the country bleeding.

This has never happened before in Nigeria.
No country not even war-torn ones has ever gone this long completely voiceless in international diplomacy.

It’s not just an international embarrassment.
It’s a loud blinking sign that this administration is not fit to govern a WhatsApp group, let alone a country.

The mass recall of all ambassadors in 2023 without timely replacement is not just irresponsible,it’s reckless.

I can say NOUN has multiple campuses and won’t be nice changing the name of such a multi state, multi campus institution
This is not true!
No university in Nigeria comes close to NOUN in terms of the number of graduates.
NOUN is the largest university in West Africa by enrollment and the second largest in all of Africa, surpassed only by UNISA.
On average, NOUN matriculates over 600,000 students per academic year, while other universities average around 35,000.

Changing its name would unsettle any president, given the overwhelming number of graduates who would rise in protest.

Many still underestimate the deep psychological awakening Peter Obi has brought to Nigerians.
Where it was once assumed that support and votes could only be secured through money and god fatherism, he has shown that integrity and ideas can earn trust.
Nigerians are now questioning old systems and stepping away from the ethnic and religious politics that have long divided us
