I still don't know why people fool themselves even at this age.

How exactly does a human being eye transform into money? Which country's currencies and will bills (denomination)?

Some people are born rich some are born into poverty. But if you lay yourself a good foundation, by the grace of God, you will leave a comfortable life.

How do we believe you did not kill your brother for that purpose!

You must not be as rich as you want to be, but remember, someone somewhere is poorer than you are.

For those who are thinking of going this same path, if you know you love your family and want a good life for them, then why kill them? To now enjoy the money with strangers?

If believe ritual killing brings money, the submit yourself to be killed and let your family enjoy you as money.

Thank you.

The bolded is exactly my point.

There is no such thing as money ritual.

But our African brain is so wired by myth right from childhood that we can't just let go of senseless fables.

To buttress this stupid belief, village and beer parlour gossip always accuse a wealthy man of ritual. Some were even accused of killing their own parents or children. Very unfortunate.

How on earth will someone tell you that a human eye can be transformed into money and blockheads believe?

Gov Wike lied to paint igbos black?

I thought Gov Nyesom Wike is igbo.

Okay.

Pdpeeg taking its default state.

That is what happens to any system dominated by ipob miscreants.

Infrastructural development ongoing everywhere across the country except some 5 backward villages who prefer to blame Tinubu and the North for their backwardness.

KANO ISLAMIC LEADERS DENY ENDORSING BOLA TINUBU FOR 2023 PRESIDENTIAL TICKET.


Kano State Council of Ulamas has slammed reports that the Islamic body has endorsed Bola Tinubu for the 2023 presidential ticket. This disclaimer was issued in a statement by the state chairman, Sheikh Ibrahim Khalil, in Kano on Sunday, December 6; during an interview with newsmen. Khalil who expressed surprise over media reports said the story is not true; as the body has diverse political inclinations and also views, saying, they couldn’t have made the endorsement. “Bola Tinubu was in Kano to attend wedding Fatiha of Sheikh Muhammad Bn Usman’s daughter, a political gathering at Mambayya House by Buhari Supporters group; and to reciprocate the visit of some Muslim groups across Nigeria that visited him and the Oba of Lagos; after the #EndSARS protest in Lagos over the loss of lives and properties. “Some Muslim organisations including clerics from Kano visited Bola Tinubu and Oba of Lagos; after the EndSARS protests in Lagos where he was commended for the support he accorded Buhari; that led to his emergence in the 2015 general elections. “I am so overwhelmed with this visit as I never expected it; hopefully, I am going to return the visit.’ Khalil added, “He was subsequently notified about the wedding of Sheikh Muhammad ibn Usman’s daughter which he promised to attend. “Hence during the visit, Tinubu expressed willingness to visit the Ulamas; which was practically impossible for him to go from house to house. “There and then some of the clerics that were part of the visit to Lagos were assembled; and Tinubu came with governor Abdullahi Ganduje. “It was one of the clerics, Shehi Shehi who lauded Tinubu for the support he gave Buhari in 2015 which led to his electoral victory. He said we would always appreciate you and return your gesture. “So, it is funny for the media to now report that Ulamas in Kano endorsed Tinubu; some of the Ulamas are not even in support of APC, while some even in APC have their solidarity for others.

Who are these Kano Islamic Leaders again when the moves and shakers of Kano state are talking?

His Royal Highness Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero was appointed by Gov Ganduje. Gov Ganduje wields a lot of political power in Kano state.

His Excellency, Gov Ganduje and His Royal Highness Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero are one and the same in purpose and ideology.

So those yeye Kano Islamic leaders can go screw themselves.

Watch how those Islamic Leaders will suddenly become heroes of ipob miscreants.

While miscreants are busy searching for blackmailing strategies, the great strategist is busy doing his homework.

This is what they lack, the more reason Tinubu is their greatest nightmare.

Their only way out is for Tinubu to be disenfranchised.

Very funny pipu.

I disagree with Umahi on this.

The best thing to do is for the leaders to drink beer and ukwobi with states' resources, then send their lapdogs to focus on what Tinubu is doing in Lagos.

That is the philosophy of ohamadick lamidi cownu.

Hmmm

ipob miscreants are criminals, na dem.

Whiteshield:
You must be referring to the kerosene drinkers club.

Abeg, my hands no dey there oh.

Before some people break my phone with mentions.

That is how it goes.

Lagos always make the difference.

Lagosians aren't making inconsequential noise about anyone setting them backward.

But just checkout the situation of some backward villages who can't build functional health centres always disturbing everyone that the North is responsible for their backwardness.

Same North setting them backward is one of the fastest developing areas infrastructurally.

Smh.

Lowering imports and exporting in large will improve foreign exchange

Okay, that's one, though I know there is a positive ripple effect .

Any other benefit?

I understand Dangote will sell refined products to Nigerians at internationally competitive prices.

So besides job (5k workers max), what exactly do Nigerians stand to benefit when this refinery becomes operational?

You are getting it twisted.

Find out the tribe where people wake their parents with sliding kicks.

Very good

Igbochief001:
Maybe u need to read your comments again

Zoning is made so that every part of the country would be president...and it's based on geopolitical zones there is nothing like north and south in Nigeria

If south west is contesting the lets kill zoning then

I ask again, pls where did I say zoning is in the constitution?

Igbochief001:
Zoning is not in the constitution ...what's the point of zoning if only a part of south gets it

Where did I say zoning is in the constitution?

APC presidential ticket will be zoned to the South, simple.

It has never been micro-zoned and it will never be because of any tribe.

All tribes in the South have the constitutional right to vie for the seat of president.

If a tribe is so unpopular to contest against other tribes, that tribe is then not qualified to rule Nigeria.

IamWonderful:
APC ticket belongs to the south west as agreed, ANPP APGA ticket for the igbos and PDP ticket for all, we can't work for Emeka Okonkwo baby factory and expect salary from Conoil

Fixed

yaki84:
And the other candidate who will run against tinubu gets 40percent votes from north, 50percent votes from south west, 80percent votes from south south, 80 percent votes from south east.... Who do u think will be declared winner between tinubu and his opponent?

80% of 3 million is 2.4 million.

North cannot give igbo 40% even in the next world. Highest 2%.

But 50% of 70 million is 35 million.

Just the north is enough.

Argue with lamidi cownu.

All APC needs in SE is just to have some little support. This is to satisfy constitutional requirement of 2/3. Because, if presidential election in Nigeria is by mere simple majority, there are places in Nigeria Tinubu will not waste his time and resources to go for campaign.

50% votes from North
30 % votes from SW
15 % votes from SS
Total = 95%. I think that's enough.

Pls I don't know who provides the remaining 5% votes.

Really?

realstars:
Yet They Are Still Better Than Us.

That's not the message.

US is better than many developed countries.

Meanwhile, Nigeria is a developing country.

plaindealer:
I expect many of you to keep wailing and keep coming up with irrelevant wailing, covid or pandemic or not, there's always bee serious poverty, food shortages and hunger in America, too bad many of you don't know or just not exposed enough to know.

Let them keep deceiving themselves.

The message is clear, but due to self deception, they will rather start talking about corruption by leaders.

The message is; is food shortage peculiar to Nigeria? Is it only in Nigeria that citizens are willing to queue for food due to lack?

Let them shift from the message and by typing garbage because it is Trump's country.

JeffreyD1:
You're not serious sir

Let them announce that they want to share food to less privileges in Nigeria let's see how the queue will be like

You self will be there

That's not the point.

Nigerians will queue for food if such opportunity is made available. FACT.

Nigerians buoyant enough to own exotic private cars may not even go, not to talk of queuing with their cars for hours.

Nigerian govt may not have made such public declaration either due to non availability or corruption, whichever suits your purpose.

But now, the point is; is this willingness to queue for food due to LACK peculiar to Nigeria?

Obviously not.

And indeed, US of all places, arguably the richest country in the world in terms of state resources. As we all know, US is a country viewed as perfect by many Black especially Nigerians struggling with issues bordering on complex.

That is the message.

Wike and Biafra: The Northern Nigerians Are No Fools
By SKC Ogbonnia
December 3, 2020

"I will lead a war against them (Nigeria) like Ojukwu. Am not joking, I know am on air, and I am warning them now. Any attempt to rob us the way they rob our brother (GEJ), the battle will start from Rivers State. We will remain opposition state like Lagos. In fact, we from the South-South and South-East will remain in PDP. We leave the South-West and North to run APC. That is how they tactically shared the Country. And we will not allow them use our resources to develop their States...I want all South-South and South-East to remember this, that we’ve two Judas.”

The incendiary proclamation above came from no other Nigerian than Nyesom Wike, the current governor of Rivers State. The period was shortly after the 2015 presidential elections.

The objective fact is that Ezenwo Nyesom Wike was a ringleader among the political kingpins who exploited the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 to spew the current Biafran crisis into existence. Even Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) acknowledged at the time that Jonathan’s electoral misfortune fueled the current clamour for secession.

Upon becoming the governor, Wike became a whited sepulcher. He would hobnob with the Biafran vision in the dark, only to present a holier-than-thou image of one Nigeria in the open. Believing that the people are gullible, he orchestrated series of gestures to assuage Northern Nigeria.

The appetizer was to evoke the emotions of the Biafran war by renaming the Liberation Stadium Port-Harcourt after Yakubu Gowon. According to the governor, the gesture was for Gowon’s role in the creation of Rivers state over half a century ago, a wartime scheme then designed to decimate Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the very man Wike swore to emulate in his “war against them (Nigeria).”

Serving as the buffet was the deployment of a pipeline of political appeasement from Port-Harcourt to Sokoto, the seat of the Caliphate, chanting one Nigeria, with oil largesse to boot. This is how Wike became the turbo engine of the presidential ambition of Sokoto State governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal who, luckily, is a crafty character, sufficiently shrewd to detect a phoney from afar. And the stage has been set.

Hear him (Mr. Wike) at the palace of Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar III: “We cannot run away from this country. The unity of this country is very, very paramount. The unity of this country is non-negotiable…I am from the Niger Delta, Rivers State to be specific, so I cannot see us in a divided country. No way. We stand for the unity of this country.”

What followed was a string of visits to Rivers State by the Sultan, performing rounds of ceremonies for laying foundation and commissioning of state projects. Worried that the chicanery was becoming clear, and to equally pacify the South-west that he had roundly castigated in 2015, Wike saw a moderating pawn in the influential Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi. The camouflage was the hasty hosting of the General Assembly of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria at Port-Harcourt. This is the occasion Wike declared that “The Sultan and Ooni are my fathers”, ostensibly to curry favor with the North and West, as the kings from his native East moped and gaped in utter amazement.

The oddity is apparent, but no one can fault royal fathers who honor underhand invitations perfectly packaged as entreaties for peace and unity of the country. Sultan Abubakar III was even kind to seize one of the occasions to enjoin the Muslim community in Rivers State to pledge their full support to the labile governor, his pre-election provocations notwithstanding.

But the apple, they say, does not fall far from its tree. It did not take long before Wike relapsed into his militant ways, including all manners of separatist innuendoes. At one point he declared other religions, besides Christianity, as non grata in his state. The governor would go on to demolish a Muslim mosque, which eventually fetched him a resounding rebuke from the Sultan. Something had to give.

Ezenwo Nyesom Wike is a bombastic bozo, quite alright, but the man can still remember the parable of the tortoise and hot water. He was able to recognize that his overbearing transgressions, most of which were targeted against Northern Nigeria, might have dug him deeper. The governor needed a broader escape route.

Enter the # EndSars protest, a nationwide movement against police brutality in Nigeria. Though the protest was timely, it unleashed serious economic havoc in the country, with massive looting and destruction of both private and public properties. And many innocent lives were lost. A coterie of highly placed politicians, who were fingered for turning the peaceful protest into a bloodbath, also needed an escape route. They quickly zeroed in on the Igbo, the whipping boy of Nigerian politics, exploiting the IPOB and the teetering bluster of its cavalier leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Governor Wike finally found the scapegoat and wasted no time to attempt an escape. He believed, and understandably so, that that any nuanced opposition to Biafran activism or even mere anti-Igbo antics would firm up forgiveness from the North. There and then Wike mounted a montage of propaganda, peeling himself from his Igbo roots of “South-South and South-East” that he had employed to win elections. He followed by peddling the EndSars protest in Rivers State as a potential beginning of another round of Biafran war. The result was a chilling campaign of extrajudicial killings in Obigbo, a small native Igbo settlement in River State, with the governor claiming to be rooting out the IPOB, the very group he helped to nurture.

But Wike will soon find out the hard way: There is no way for the wazzock. The Northern Nigerians are no fools. And neither the South-west! The day of reckoning is around the corner, come 2023! As the governor would say in time of his need, “I want all South-South and South-East to remember this, that we’ve two Judas.” And the more dangerous judas, for sure, is Ezenwo Nyesom Wike himself. Mgbọ!
