Oga leave story, dollar is here to stay for years to come. No other currency can replace it. If dollar crashes, global economy will also crash.
Western nation strength is their market. It's a 30 trillion dollar yearly consumer market. The closest to it is China with 6 trillion dollars. That market drives the global economy. It crashes and the whole world enters recession. It become a case of everyone wants to sell but nobody wants to buy.
If even China will abandon Russia if push comes to shove.

EmekaA125:
Shameless b!gots

Pele laslas u go dey alright.
Note- I have no problem with Igbo man becoming Lagos gov though. It's simply inevitable anyway.
But not one that has disdain for other tribes in Lagos

EmekaA125:
You Yorubas on this forum are tribalistic and so full of yourselves. You hate a young man with Yoruba ancestry and blood just because his mother is Igbo. You idiots are archaic, primitive and far from being civilized. Spits

Nobody hates him because his mum is Igbo. He's the one wey no get sense by insulting his own tribe Yoruba yet expect same tribe to queue behind him for governorship.
Osun state gov mum is Igbo. Ondo state wife is Igbo.
Make una dey calm down and stop being emotional unnecessarily.

shegzhkn:
Ok, with all this why are you still a third world country??

Greece was once a global super power, today it's simply the sick man of Europe.
Ottoman empire was ruled half of the world, today turkey is can barely rule its own country.
Same for Persian empire and Babylonian empire. Today Iran and Iraq are not reckoned with.
The Mongolian empire once ruled the whole of Asia and half of Europe, today u can't even place Mongolia on the map.
Civilization comes and go, nothing is permanent. I get am before no be property.
So if u want us to discuss why sub Saharan countries are 3rd world, open a thread and we will thrash it.
My contribution here is to correct ignorant people who doesn't know anything about their history.

HITsquad:
I would have really loved to continue with this conversation. But your reply was really childish and insultive... Im too old for for such, so have a really nice day young man. Peace bro.

Pls take a book and learn African history. It's a shame when blacks repeats the racist negative stereotype about Africa. It's annoying.

West Africa had an established university before England built their first university - Oxford.
At its peak in the 14th century, Malian empire biggest export wasn't gold but books written by scholars in Timbuktu university. People came all the way from Baghdad to learn and buy these books.

Most west African civilisation were developed by people from Numidia, Mauretania, Nubia and ancient Egypt who ran south to escape the tyranny of the Roman empire occupation in those north African region in the 1st to 3rd century, they migrated deep into the sahara and started new civilisation.
These actions prompted the Roman legions in North Africa to cross the sahara couple of times to find the fugitives. They got as far as lake chad.
The second wave happened during the Umayyad caliphate expansion into North Africa, the inhabitants who wanted to remain pagan moved deep into the sahara.
It's ignorance to claim there's no connection btw the ancient north Africans and present black Africans.
The present occupiers are mainly mix of arabs, southern Europeans and few Berbers/amazigh who choose to stay.
Travel deep into the southern regions of libya, Algeria, Morocco and Egypt. U will be shocked to notice the inhabitants have a darker skin tone than most Nigerians. Those were the original north Africans b4 they were pushed south. Their cousins are in Mali, chad and Niger, they were all one big family thousands of years ago dwelling in the desert b4 foreign occupation separated them.

HITsquad:
What and what did black man invent? Oh you mean ancient Egyptians? We weren't even that closely genetically related.. So leave all these Black conspiracy theories. 'Typical' Black man never contributed much to the globe. Most of us didn't even have clothes when Europeans arrived in Africa.
So Bro... we Africans need to accept the fact that we have been doing everything wrong. that's the first step of finally getting it right. I'm a very proud black man, but let's call a spade a spade.

Have u read about ancient African migration b4 yarning ignorance.
Another educated illiterate saying Africans were naked when the Europeans arrived.
FYI textile was African biggest export to Europe in pre colonial times after slave trade.

1Sharon:
Black women overall are not attracted to white men, we tend to be more race loyal.

Black men have the largest sexual appetite out of all races of men.

Have u dated Arab...black man dey learn when it comes to sexual urge n fetish.
Na Islam they cover their yansh.

BRATISLAVA:
The Nigerian accent is the reason Nigerians spell badly. It doesn't accommodate proper pronunciation. It is a heavy accent to listen to.

Even after spending 30 years living anywhere in the world, you will always know it's a Nigerian because "dey can't pronowns tins correkly". Dee tin is easy to notice.

It's like u never hear a typical Indian man speak English or eastern European. Even some Scottish accent na war.
All those polished accent u encounter amongst foreigners is as a result of living in English speaking countries for years.

A lot of insecure white pigs. Always looking for every opportunity to exhibit their filthy depraved racial mindset.
Criticize her for the dress, finish. No, they must remember she's black.
Anyway, black too should develop Africa. Until we do that, racism will not end.
Do u see whites talking shit about China?

HeartlessMan:
I can see a very clear border between Lagos and Yoruba so you tell me...

The entire Yorubaland including Lagos was called the protectorate of Lagos by the British govt. from 1900 to 1906.
I repeat if Nigeria dissolves today, southwest automatically assumes the title of Lagos before the citizens decides on what to call it.

HeartlessMan:
Actually, your map proves that Lagos is a no-man's land because Lagos is in a darker hue than the Yoruba region depicted.

OP this is an own goal.

Look at the map again and tell me the name given to the entire Yorubaland.

To all those ignorant folks including seun kuti saying Lagos isn't Yorubaland, this is the map of Lagos colony inside Nigeria in 1900.
That they don't teach history in schools isn't an excuse not to make proper use of Google.
Note that if Nigeria dissolves today and southwest becomes a nation. The default name it will take will be LAGOS before deciding on whatever name to call it.

To the ignorant Gbadebo Rhodes-vivour denying his Yoruba heritage and forming too posh to speak Yoruba, someone should tell him that he became a product of Lagos because his ancestors could speak Yoruba.
The British dumped his enslaved forefathers at the Lagos coast because the only African language they could speak was Yoruba. They were enslaved from the hinterlands of Yorubaland in modern day osun, Kwara and Oyo states.
The fact that the white man recognised and acknowledge Lagos as a Yorubaland by relocating Yoruba speaking freed slaves to Lagos is a testament to the origin of Lagos.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think I must give kudos to our Muslim brothers and sisters for living by the tenets of islam. No Islamic ruling nor nation will give a nod to this madness and we wonder why they are more morally up right than we Christians? Weird acts and cultures are common amongst Christian nations yet we think we are more righteous. Sometimes I regret being a Christian

Germany is a western nation not a Christian nation

Ireti doesn't fully identify as Yoruba. She's from 4 different Nigerian tribes. I doubt she grew up in Yorubaland. Her dad is half Fulani/yoruba, her mum is from nigerdelta region.

She should contact her aunts in Nigeria, they will definitely link with one guy for some villages in her area. Make I no hear the man is not up to her standard, make she manage whoever them dash am.

ProtonX:
Not saying what he did was right. It wasn't at all.5 But the Prosecutor's line of argument feels like racial bias. The yt people in the UK feed off these things once an opportunity presents itself.

Abeg go siddon somewhere. Once blacks break the law, they start throwing the racist card.
The question remain was he involved in organ trafficking or not? Nobody cares about your skin colour, it's their country and their law.
If black Africans feel it's too harsh, sit your butt in your continent and develop it

gidgiddy:
The point here is that the boy was mot trafficked as we were made to believe. He was offered money for his organ, he accepted the offer, willingly jumped on plane to the UK

It was only after he was tested, found unsuitable, and knew he would have to return to Nigeria empty handed that he started crying wolf

The boy is just as bad as Ekweremadu

That's trafficking...organ trafficking. U better be enlightened n learn from other people's mistakes b4 u repeat same mistake n get yourself into trouble.
Not everywhere is lawless like Nigeria.
Moving people from one destination to another for any illegal activity is trafficking. Payment in exchange for organ donation is illegal...it's called organ trafficking.

kk2027:
Not really @d bold
Many people voted for him at the presidential level but already had candidates in other levels.

Obi was the best option on the ballot in this election and it was obvious to the blind, hence he had such a great outing

Obi won in southern Nigeria, unfortunately he was contesting for the president of Nigeria. He failed to get the memo.
If there was no Atiku on the ballot, the result would have been brutal for obi, Tinubu will kill him. Northerners were never going to vote for him, he's too sectarianism in thinking, just like Buhari.
What obi needs is a northern Tinubu who will polish and present him as a nationalist in the north. Otherwise, he will become a perpetual presidential aspirant.

kk2027:
I dont know how many states he may have won but Obi actually won the election, lets be honest

He won SE and SS hands down, he won NC, he won Lagos with about 1million votes, he won Abuja, he won Plateau with around 1 million votes, he won in many areas of Bauchi and other northern states. Most of his northern votes were completely robbed.

If APC knew they have done so well, why didnt they allow a free and fair election so Nigerians can re-elect them

Remind me why the results were not transmitted electronically again

In the middle of bvas, we relapsed to the old way rigging

Tell emilokan to rule naija no be force

Tinubu that lost woefully in Osun or Lagos was miraculously winning in opponents strongholds, no be juju?

If he actually won convincingly as u claim, it should reflect on the number of HOR and senate seat won by LP.
In Lagos where obi won, he could only secure 1 HOR ticket and zero senate seat. It was a competitive election, very competitive. Obi did well, but not all they hype u alluding to him.
If we repeat the election 1000 times, it will be same result. The only exception would be Rivers state.

APC major success in this election was their ability to eat deep into northern state even the ones they didnt win. Obi had no chance in those states and Atiku has no fanatical northern followership to get him that windfall result in the north.
Make everybody rest. Obi should play active opposition for 4 years and reposition himself to take advantage of Tinubu's incompetence in 2027. Meanwhile, he should carry his message to the north or better still get a more heavyweight Northern VP.

jaephoenix:
Are you aware Yahweh hardened someone's heart so he can kill the man's children and punish him?

Quote the context u talking about. I don't debate th bible in abstract or generalisation.

jaephoenix:
This KJV
And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head
These were children. So you can't escape that.
And no, they didn't enter into any covenant with yahweh. They're kids, remember.
He was instructed by his father Judah, so he had to obey and that's caused his death. By the way, if he had disobeyed his old man, he'd have been stoned for disobedience, which was a law given by your yahweh. Which other people had coitus interruptus in the Bible?
No problem

Those kids were young men according to Jewish scriptures. They were not some pre teens without knowledge of what they were doing.

All Onan had to do if he wasn't interested in rasing kids they weren't his own was to say NO. He didn't, he wanted the pleasure but not the responsibility. That's was a wicked thing.
No one will kill him if he refused. Judah noticed the trend and refused to pass the lady on to his 3rd child as per tradition- nothing happened to him.
Judah could have man up and perform the deed himself but stylishly sent her away- God didn't kill him.

The verse is all about taking responsibility that comes with pleasure, God hates it the opposite- a warning to men who denies responsibility for pregnancy they create and force the woman to have an abortion.

OkCornel:
You didn’t understand Dtruthspeaker’s analogy.

He’s explaining “ONE” in the context of unity, and not a literal number.

For example, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and they shall be ONE flesh.

ONE in this context is unity.

Jesus prayed in John 17 v 22 that all believers should be ONE (be United) just as he and the Father are ONE (United).

It doesn’t mean believer A is the same person as believer B. It actually means they are working together in unity.

John 17 v 22-23
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.



So to clear up the confusion, Jesus is not the same person as the Father. He is one with the Father because he works in unity with the Father.

Can I ask u a question?
Do u worship the father and son separately?

GRVLagos:
Good day everyone, I am going to make an effort to appeal to us all to try and focus on the challenges of Lagos and governance when asking questions.
I will do my best to answer all I can, but please I appeal for all to see the real and bigger picture.
Divisive politics and tactics are a distraction, Lagos isn't optimized to work for all, areas like badagry and ikorodu are ignored, neglected and underdeveloped.
Too many people are unemployed and underpaid, which contributes to the issues of crime.
We have issues of tankers falling and killing innocent bystanders and so much more.

Too many real and pressing issues that need to be tackled to make all our lives better, so please ask me things you would like me to solve if elected as your governor.

sorry but u started the divisive politics by your careless utterances on social media.
That was how Nigerians voted Buhari in 2015 claiming he's not a tribal bigot and just a distraction tactics by his opponents. We all know how it ended and how his nepotism and ethnocentric politcs almost destroyed the nation.
So my question is thus
1. Are u proud of your Yoruba lineage. If YES, then explain why you used the phrase 'typical Yoruba behaviour' to describe Pastor Adeboye. why should you ascribe the behaviour of one man onto a whole ethnic group?
2. Your CV is very empty...very empty. The truth remain u lack the experience to manage a complex cosmopolitan city like Lagos. Who are those u will lean on to ensure your political naivety doesnt cost Lagos if u win the gubernatorial election.

Holybwoy:
Brother Lateef.. oloriburuku niyin..

I will address the 'chinedu' first..

Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour is more Lagosian than Tinubu and Sanwoolu and Ambode put together..

His family's history in Lagos dates back to 400 years ago. Tinubu is from Iragbiji, Sanwoolu is from Ogun state while Ambode is from Ondo.

His father married an Igbo Lady, that's why there's a Chinedu attached. I don't blame the father, Yoruba women are dirty, uncouth, lousy and will only use 3 soups (ila, ewedu and gbegiri) to feed your destiny till the end of days.. dem no even sabi fxck.. just lying down like a log of wood while expecting that you mount them and do all the work..

Davido named his late son 'ifeanyi'. If the late son had grown up and tried to contest for Osun state governor, brother Lateef uncle oponu amukunmeko will rush here to label him ibo and ipob trying to sell Osun abi??

It is not only Igbo that's craving to send APC and Sanwoolu parking, Yorubas can't wait. Hausas can't wait.. that's why you call them Omo ale when they decide to not vote for APC..

And who, in their right senses will vote for APC?? You think building roads is the dividend of democracy in 2023?

Thankfully, the omo ales have more PVCs than the omo-ita that Sanwoolu empowered to maltreat and abuse every decent and hardworking Lagosian.

The sooner you realize that this isn't an Igbo agenda, the better for you.. wake up egbon agbaya and tell Sanwoolu to do what's right.. Ambode spent one term, he didn't die.. Sanwoolu will be fine

Will 'dirty' Yoruba women also join u in voting in chinedu to Lagos gov house.
I keep saying it, lots of patent did a bad job raising children in the last 20 yrs. That's what the rest of us have to deal with now.
See this one insulting those he's expecting to vote his candidate. Some people no just get sense.

hammerT:
LAGOS WILL ONE DAY GRADUATE TO A GLOBAL CIY WHEREBY, IT IS NO LONGER A CSE OF TRIBE OR RACE BUT THE BEST INTELLECT.

WE SEE THIS N NEW YORK, LONDON, TORONTO ETC.

ONCE, UPON A TIME, IT WAS THE WHITE MAN BIRTH RIGHT BUT TODAY, THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE.

THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BLACKMAILING A FELLOW YORUBA WHO MAY HAVE PROGRESSIVE PLANS FOR THE STATE WITH FALSE ACCUSATION, TELL ME THE ARE BACKWARD AND STILL VE A LONG WAY TO GO.


HE CT THAT THIS SAME PEOPLE WILL BE SHOUTING ONE NIGERIA AND CONDEMNING IPOB, WHOSE ONLY CRIME IS WANTING TO GIVE THEMA YORUBA ONLY NAION AND SATE, TELLS ME THEIR IS STILL HOPE AND NOT TO GIVE UP ON THEM YET.


IF THE LABOUR GUY DONT GET IT THIS TIME, THE FUTURE IS PREGNANT.

U simply overwhelmed by your emotions and nothing more.
Yes, there's no doubt that a non Yoruba will govern Lagos in the future. It's just 4 years, no big deal.
But not someone who is unashamedly tribalistic and feeds on bigotry. Someone like that will never rule Lagos.
The mayor of London is Pakistan, but the guy is only Pakistani in skin, nothing more. He's not a Muslim, doesn't wear Pakistani attire, eats pork and doesnt celebrate any Asian holiday. That's a Cosmopolitan man we talking about, not some badly trained spoilt kid who has no respect for culture.
As for his progressive agenda, he should first go and build his paper weight CV and let's see his progressive achievement without latching unto his family's name

CondemnBattery:
I am a Redeemer, and have respect for Daddy Adeboye. But I don't agree with every of his actions.
However, calling hell-rufai a kind hearted man and a peaceful man?
Hell no. Even the devil knows hell-rufai is many things but not a kind nor peaceful man.
And what Rhodes said is spot on.
Next please

'Spot on' like insulting a whole tribe because of the action of one man.
'Typical Yoruba behaviour'....why not say typical adeboye behaviour. He also called him alatenuje.
And u didn't see anything wrong with that.
A lot of parents did a bad job raising kids in the last 20 yrs, that's the problem the rest of us have to deal with.

Eriokanmi:
So, Christians shouldn't vote him? Several apc supporters here on NL had lashed out at Prof Osinbajo the moment he came out to run, calling him unprintable names, even linking him with RCCG. They've done worse in this election, even spiting pa Adebanjo, a well respected yorubaman. They saw the GRV's comment on twitter calling tinubu afonja and suddenly generalised it on the yoruba race. Meanwhile, they've called Pa Adebanjo all manner of names for supporting power rotation to the south east and then, they didn't see it as an insult on yourbas in spite of the sensitive position he's holding and how important the organisation is among us.

These guys are nothing but hypocrites. If you like, dig out all his pasts, it won't change anything in Saturday's election.

Which atrocities could be worse than calling a battalion to attack and kill unarmed civilians at lekki toll gate by a puppet who first denied it but later bowed to pressure by saying he acted on the instruction from above? Had his child been among the protesters, would he have tried that shiit?GRV never dis anything close to this yet, they're trying to bring him down at all cost. If you like, cone out in your usual ęgbęjoda t-shirt in different colours and besiege all lagos roads, it won't change anything. GRV is our own and we won't let him down in Lag, come Saturday at Alimosho. We don't know sanwoolu here. He did nothing here in the last 4 years. Alimosho must progress. God bless ambode who remembered us. They only remember us during campaigns. They know we have the largest population in lagos and Nigeria as a LG but always neglecting us. It won't be business as usual this time .

Pls don't be blinded by sentiment. I have no problem u voting him, but lets not pretend as if there are no real red flags with this guy.
His bigotry is nauseating yet wants to govern a Cosmopolitan state like Lagos. There are lots of Asians and blacks in UK govt but what u need to know is that these children of immigrants are British to the core. They are even more English than whites.
Left to them, they are ready to put a blanket ban on immigration of all kind. It's the whites in govt fighting those policies.
I don't have a problem with an ibo man becoming governor of Lagos but must genuinely have the interest of all lagosians at heart irrespective of tribe or ethnicity.
Well he still learn from this and hopefully becomes a better person.

deeptechcool:
GRV is going nowhere.

I make bold to say this guy is on nairaland. He's one of those nairaland bigots creating nuisance here.

hotwax:
pastor adeboye does not represent us...a pastor that came out to support jihadi who has killed many christian is inviting insult..

leave vivor...focus on the post vivor reacted to. All these are adverts for vivor. This is why people will even vote for Vivor.

Dear Yoruba Christians, Vivor is fighting christian course boldly

He's not fighting for me. He's a senseless, badly trained and mannerless adult child.
It's not like his CV is even worthy of any substance.
Pls don't associate Yoruba Christians with this gbadebo rhodes

franchasofficia:
Just like Tinubu's son marrying an Igbo blood aka Omo ale according to Tinubu's poverty ridden urchins, it is the greatest confusion in Tinubu's tribal bigotry camp right now

Gbadebo that described his own people with a slurred word like afonja. I don't have a problem supporting the Biafran agenda which is a noble cause anyway or being sympathetic to IPOB. But that guy reeks of self hate, pointing to his father's house with a left hand.

Besides if we should ignore his childish tantrum and looks at substance, the guy is empty. I had a look at his CV, it's lighter than the paper written on. Sooo empty and devoid of any meaning ful achievement. He went to MIT, worked in some architect company and then started some NGO courtesy his father's money and influence.
He's just living off the aristocratic influence of his Dad, nothing more. He's too naive to govern a complex state like Lagos without any existing strong support system or structure.

Nobody hates him because of his Igbo half blood. Na him no get sense.

haekymbahd:
so what should I have done as an anti redpillers let me learn.. I reciprocated the love she showed not knowing it was a game... I am trying to find the courage to stay and repel everything she will likely throw at me she is a game player. It would have been easy for me if I had also been a flirt myself but I wasn't even in any relationship then..

Guy, bring another fine girl home. If she reacts, tell her the new girl is just a friend n she's overreacting. U go dey surprised the way she go quickly adjust.
If she no send, that means she's done with u. U too be done with her.
Either case, once her rent expires, don't renew. Tell her to look for another accommodation that your cousin is coming to stay.
Stop doing anything with her again, cooking or giving her money, stop allowing her sleep in your room. Find another girl for friend with benefits but this time use your head.
Don't ever fall in love with Freshers again, it doesn't end well. Young girls wey toto they scratch, that's their age of making money out of clitocurrency.
They are mainly for what she offered YOU initially- sex in exchange for comfort, that girl never intended to go beyond that. Na u do oversabi.

Akwa ibom no even send the only potential first lady from their state
