Angelfrost:
That ship might have sailed permanently...!

APC started the division on a massively scale prior to 2015 elections, in their desperation for power.


The nation become far more fragmented than ever before in history.

Add these to the antics of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho groups, and you can see the deep fissures that can never be mended in this lifetime.

PRESS STATEMENT AND HERITAGE PORT HARCOURT IGBOFEST 2025: A CELEBRATION OF CULTURE, UNITY.

The organizing committee of Port Harcourt IgboFest 2025 wishes to inform the general public, partners, and all stakeholders that this highly anticipated cultural event is strictly a celebration of Igbo heritage, unity, and artistic expression. It is not affiliated with any political agenda or movement, nor does it represent any attempt to challenge the identity of our gracious host Obio-Akpor LGA in extension Port Harcourt City.

Port Harcourt IgboFest is a family cultural event intended to promote peaceful coexistence, cultural appreciation, and mutual respect among all ethnic groups living in Rivers State and beyond. It is intended to strengthen the bonds of unity, not division, as has been achieved in peace and harmony in other states. As one of Nigeria's most diverse and welcoming cities, Port Harcourt provides a perfect setting for such cultural expression and dialogue.

We recognize and deeply respect the leadership of Ikwerre in Obia Akpo and in extension Rivers State and the unique heritage of the people of Port Harcourt.

IgboFest is being held with the spirit of collaboration and community, with full awareness and appreciation of the need for cultural harmony and civic responsibility. Neither does it have any connotation to harness any ethnic group into the Igbo community, as has been suggested.

We urge the public to disregard any misinformation or false narratives suggesting political motives behind the event.

Port Harcourt IgboFest is non- partisan, inclusive, and purely cultural. The organizing committee invites all residents, visitors, and cultural enthusiasts to attend and enjoy the event in the spirit of togetherness and celebration.

For a U.S. undergraduate degree, students from most countries will need to provide biometric information (fingerprints and a photo) as part of the visa application process. This is a standard security measure for all non-immigrant visa applications.
This is why Bola Tinubu that graduated was the one that became an undergraduate not a female.
You cannot bypass the system in USA as you would here especially if you are an immigrant.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has condemned a bill in the Nigerian Senate that seeks to elevate the Ooni of Ife and the Sultan of Sokoto as permanent Co-Chairmen of the National Council of Traditional Rulers.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Enugu, the group described the bill as unjust, warning that it sidelines apex traditional rulers from other ethnic nationalities and geopolitical zones across the country.

The National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Ezechi Chukwu, expressed deep concern over what he termed an asymmetric bill by the Senate, emphasising that it disregards the principles of fairness, equity, and federal character enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.

Chukwu said the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide is astounded by the rationale behind the bill, which threatens the spirit of inclusiveness and equality in the nation’s traditional leadership structure.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the bill has already passed its second reading in the Senate, raising tensions among various ethnic and regional groups.

He said, “The Senate in this vein has failed in its capacity as the highest legislative carrier and custodian of the nation’s democratic mandate.

“This bill is not only inequitable, discriminatory and ethnocentric, it is equally distasteful, reprehensible and objectionable.

“It lacks all the ethical considerations, objective metrics and unbiased categories for national unity and social justice in a pluralist nation-state like Nigeria.

"Ohanaeze Ndigbo called for the urgent withdrawal of the bill and the need to review it in consideration for ethnic differences, cultural sensitivity, geopolitical balance, inclusive governance and equitable representation.”

“It is only by so doing shall the bill foster national unity, peaceful co-existence and social stability,” Chukwu added.

So the man even confessed he's a scammer

DmonSlayer10:
Which "Idiotic people"? How dare you?

Anyway Can you name one single person who actually said "Lagos is no man's Land" Can you point at one single non-Lagosian who ever made that exact comment.

You'll learn the power of divisive and manipulative politics....using propaganda and you'll learn it the hard way!

Mention the person(not the faceless ones like you on the social media oo)

If you can't point at one single person then....

...then...

bionixs:
so you now know the law more than a SAN? Are you really sane?

bionixs:
I have been waiting to see if Good people of Yoruba land have no single sane personality.. thank God someone came to the rescue.

Politicians have destroyed even the reasoning of most people. Bigotry and tribalism are two ugly monsters that many have adopted to just no gain

WesleyPepper:
See the old hypocrite shining teeth with Uzodinma . They insult APC in Lagos but cozy up to the same APC when they get home.

delpee:
Hmmm! Another angle.

BTW, if Anambra renamed streets bearing Ebonyi names and people didn't complain, why is there so much hullabaloo over the one done in Lagos?

Funny thing is that the names may change again some years down the line.

ojobek:
Don't deceive yourself,only Atiku or Ebele can knockdown Tinubu

Godjone:
The ADC is cooking something dangerous. Tinubu will learn in a hard way

Beremx:
may God save Benue people. They should add shovels to the empowerment to make the package complete. What is wheel barrow without shovel?

Beremx:
bucket still better than sharing one cup of rice and ijebu garri during local government elections in Lagos.
When something is wrong, condemn it and being a sentimental bigot. What is wrong is wrong.
