See how they are insulting an elder from their side, just because of announcing a JAMB!?

Tomorrow they will claim to have respect for elders. They did it to Obasanjo and some others I can't remember.

I'm not shocked at all. My wife have seen it all just because she married an Igbo.

santaclaws:
What about those Igbos insulting him here on Nairaland? Those who are supposed to be grateful are also insulting him...

We know you did a good thing oga chairman. More grease to your elbow.

bigpicture001:
Yoruba educated girls will never marry igbos... Nomater what u tell them... I tried it so many times while at uni ilorin... U can't even date an educated one... The other students will chastise her for befriending an Igbo guy and sh will back off tribalism in the southwest is real...

goslowgoslow:
Can any Igbo chairman do that to a Yoruba candidate?

Ebeano49:
What's happening in this country these days is quite frightening. The mutual hate and suspicion runs deep.
Some of these people fanning the flame of hate live outside Nigeria where they are usually the first to shout racism and discrimination.

monex:
is Emeka not a resident of Ifo. I don't understand you tribal bigots to be honest. Care to share your thinking process with me?

Saao:
Yoruba hmm I'm not surprised

Efuaye:
The demön of tribálism is no longer hidden in Yorubä land, especially since the last elections!

Maysdevices:
These guys are extremely hateful but call others children of hate. It boggles my mind

Heavensake1:

Dannydavito:
After all, you didn't win the election. We all know what happened in edo State.

South-South Monarchs to Support President Tinubu

cjudy:
APC paid agent will soon come and tell us the road is substandard and how they carried out interview and found out the road was constructed by the president.
You can’t have Obi as your mentor and still fail in leadership

Some ethnic groups will be busy dragging Presidency for bragging rights while Igboland will low-key be experiencing rapid real developments

tuborme:
This is what Nigeria is missing currently

TempleHouse:
A show of shame in Nigeria polity !!

Nigeria federation WILL NEVER BECOME one Party State !!!

South-South Monarchs to Support President Tinubu

Amalekki:
How does Oranmiyan being in possession of and moving to Oyo with the Sword of Mercy translate into "Alaafin had to collect Ada and Abere from Ife.." ??

Amalekki:
On the other picture.

That was a picture angle from the first ever meeting of the Obas in the old western region. Quite instructively, it was not held at the regional capital, Ibadan. It was held in Oyo at the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo. There was no superiority debate at that point, it was just kings of separate kingdoms coming together in a meeting for the first time ever.

They sat, wined and dined together as brother Obas at Oyo palace. No consideration for future scoring of cheap points was part of the equation at that point. Things changed much later.

ronketumzy:
Why are they not given same opportunity to the blacks?

DelilahMakinde:
What an absurd arrangement.
Anyway an Ooni hasn't handed out any appointment letter since Sijuade.
That is the function of the state governors now

Ok ooo...I stand corrected on the wrong dates.

Thanks

haybhi1:
Do these mods know Kemi, the other day, not only denied Nigeria, but also talked down on Nigeria

Christistruth02:
Thank you

He was not even Premier he was Gov General of the Western Region

DelilahMakinde:
That was an administrative role.
Ooni Aderemi doubled as premier of old western region.
Not because of any cultural seniority.
Aderemi enjoyed that dual role during his time.

There are strong signals that millions of candidates in the Southeast region may either miss or reschedule their ongoing WAEC examinations as the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have declared a total lockdown in the zone on May 30.

The lockdown, which is the first this year according to the IPOB, is in commemoration of Biafra heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their present existence.

Media and Publicity Secretary of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, in a statement on Monday, stated that May 30th, 2025, is now designated a public holiday and a lockdown throughout Biafra Land.

He stated that the public holiday and lockdown are an annual Memorial and Remembrance Day for Biafra heroes and heroines among Biafrans.

He added, “Anticipation has begun as of May 1, 2025, with broadcasts from Radio Biafra and media awareness efforts by the IPOB media team. This month, IPOB will involve our audience in memorial lectures honoring Biafran heroes, both at home and abroad, just like in earlier years. The peak of the yearly memorial and remembrance event will occur on May 30th, 2025, known as the Biafra Heroes Memorial Day.

“It is a day designated by IPOB for Biafrans to commemorate and pay tribute to our heroes, heroines, and those who sacrificed their lives in the struggle for Biafra’s liberation and independence. The IPOB leadership has announced that May 30, 2025, will be a free day, marking a total lockdown for Biafrans residing in Biafra Land.”

Powerful stated that Biafrans residing in Biafra Land should observe a lockdown to pay tribute to those who battled and perished in the Nigerian genocidal war against Biafra while Biafrans fought for her independence.

“We need to commemorate them by spending one day indoors. We urge all Biafrans and every advocate of freedom in Biafra Land to comply with this one-day lockdown directive on May 30, 2025. All IPOB family members in their various countries must organize and obtain permits to demonstrate against the unlawful imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the illegal detention of Nnamdi Kanu in Nigeria. No protests will take place in Biafra or anywhere in Nigeria to prevent being harmed by the lethal Nigerian Security Forces.

“Biafrans abroad will gather in the streets of their host countries or organize town hall meetings to express their support in honoring our fallen heroes and advocating for the restoration of Biafra. IPOB and Ndigbo across the globe will pay tribute to all our fallen heroes and heroines, including our everlasting leader the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Gen. Phillip Efiong, Chief Dr. Frank Opigo, Commander Ikonso, and numerous others who significantly contributed and fought to avert the genocide and destruction of Biafrans by the Nigerian and British governments along with their allied forces. Every year on May 30th is a significant day for all Biafrans. It is a public holiday for every citizen and non-citizen of Biafra living in Biafra territory,” he added.

The statement added that, with the exception of critical and emergency personnel such as ambulance drivers, police officers, nurses, doctors, firefighters, journalists, and NUPENG, other forms of movement are banned on the streets of Biafra from 6 AM to 6 PM on that day.

“All transportation by road, air, and sea is prohibited from 6 to 6 on May 30, 2025, which includes no human movement within our territory. There will be no school, no community meetings, no religious services, no opening of markets and stores, and no public assemblies of any kind. Simply stay inside and enjoy television and videos with your family while contemplating the memories and the genocide inflicted upon Biafrans from 1967 to the present day. It is a day for families to recount their experiences of the Biafran genocidal war from 1967 to 1970 and the ongoing victimization, destruction, and marginalization of the Ndigbo within Nigeria,” he added.

On WAEC examinations scheduled to hold on that day, Powerful stated that the group had already contacted the Examination Council to inform them of the lockdown directive in Biafran Land “so they can modify the May/June SSCE exams schedule to serve all students.”

“Messages have also been dispatched to the governors in the South East and South South regions to notify them that we will remember and pay tribute to our heroes and heroines who sacrificed everything for us with a lockdown mandate on May 30, 2025.

“IPOB implemented the lockdown directive due to the Nigerian violent government attacking and killing numerous Biafrans who assembled to honor our heroes in Biafra Land in previous years. We recommend that everyone refrain from going outside and remain indoors in your homes on May 30th to steer clear of gunfire from the ethnic prejudice of the Nigerian Police and Military, who will be present on the streets of Biafra seeking any chance to unjustly shed the blood of innocent Biafrans. If you decide to ignore this lockdown order, whatever occurs to you, please hold no one responsible,” he added.

Jokerman:
We're are still looking for the legacy projects Tinubu built in Lagos State despite the "homongous" revenue.

Tinubu did not build a government house.
Tinubu did not build an airport.
Tinubu did not build a brewery.
Tinubu did not build a stadium.
Tinubu did not build a flyover.
Tinubu did not build a specialist hospital.

What are Tinubu's legacy projects as Lagos State governor?
