Barzinime: Why don't you build Anambra & Imo & stop coming to Lagos & for your information. You guys are all over Ogun & Oyo states working in various factories as casual workers.
Their own governors are extremely useless. SW is their London.
onatisi: Everything Peter Obi is saying or pointing out does not influence Nigerians or their decisions in choosing who to vote for. when it is election time show them the naira and rice and they will vote for you
Of course. Okpa and Jollof, and a few naira note from Peter Obi himself. Hypocrites.
Who enters night bus to Ibadan or oshogbo or akure?
He said South West not Lagos
Acting like you haven't seen the video of those fleeing your desolate and unproductive region by jumping on night bus to Ibadan. From Ibadan, na to enter ife, Ilesha, Igboho e.t.c.
Bobloco: In 2027, Nigerians are going to be very resolute in sending Tinubu's calamitous regime out.
The campaign slogan will be "enough is enough." The hunger and starvation are too much; we can't afford another four years under Tinubu.
For the first time, Nigerians will speak with one voice and with a common goal, setting aside their tribal and religious sentiments to send out the worst president and regime Nigeria has ever had. It's going to be epic.
pharmagba: Trump.is the reason we had covid pandemic? Not China? Common do always do some good reading.
Trump only lost the last election because of the American press, not because he performance. Check the economic indices as against Obama and Biden especially before covid, During his tenure no invasion, no war. All Democrats always propagate a needless war
Read to understand. I said one of "Trump is the one of reasons we had a covid pandemic" NOT Trump is the reason.
The press is only doing it's job. It got so bad that Fox cooperation even turned it's back on a conservative president. Trump lost the election for many many many reasons. Economic policies, his botched handling of the pandemic, his own Republican party, his pandering to white supremacists e.t.c
As a right leaning voter, I would normally vote a republican over a democrat, but come this election, myself and many others who are not even left leaning would rather vote for a cat than vote for that disaster called Trump again. We are still suffering the effect of his interference with federal reserve's monetary policy decisions which ended up overheating the economy, even before covid, when there was no need to. Everyone is now paying for it via inflation and high interest rate environment. Anyway, make I nor talk to much.
The Trump administration decided to end a $200m early warning program designed to alert it to potential pandemics just three months before it is believed Covid-19 began infecting people in China.
The project, called Predict, had been run by the US Agency for International Development since 2009. It had identified more than 160 different coronaviruses that had the potential to develop into pandemics, including a virus that is considered the closest known relative to Covid-19.
A decision to wind down the program was made, however, in September, just three months before the first reports of people becoming infected with Covid-19 in Wuhan, China. The end of the program saw the departure of dozens of scientists and analysts working to identify potential pandemics in countries around the world, including China.
“It was a genius, visionary program that USAid took a big risk to fund and it’s a crying shame it was canceled,” said Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit specialist in tackling wildlife-borne disease that was one of the major partners in the program.
Predict’s work focused on the dangers of viruses spreading from wildlife to humans and causing possible pandemics like the Covid-19 outbreak that has resulted in much of the world grinding to a halt. It is suspected that Covid-19 made the leap to humans from a bat sold at a Wuhan market.
Igbo nah one small ethnic group right from back in the days. They had no king or whatsoever, just like Reno said..
But I don’t think binis, ijaws couldn’t enslave Igbos cuz they were not united. I believe it cuz they saw them as people with no or less resources. During slave trade, slaves with no resources, slaves from stagnant enclave don’t usually worth much!
So, to me, it’s more of even if we enslave them, what’s there to make off them?..
It's the main reason. The ibos were a bigger tribe than those other minority tribes but the ibos were not united as one indivisible unit. This made it easy for even smaller tribes like the igala or ijaws to raid or poach small Ibo hamlets to catch slaves. It's difficult for smaller groups of people to defend themselves especially when there are children and women in those settlements as well.
Christlike01: Reno is right. I came across a very unpleasant Igbo history and it made me really feel sorry for them. The sad history however offered an insight into why the Igbos behave the way they do today.
The Ijaws,the Binis, the Itshekiris and even the Igalas actually raided those remote hinterland villages of the igbos for slaves,captured them and oftentimes sold them as commodities! It's a fact that's well documented.
If an Igbo dares me,I will drop one of those documents here now!
People often ask why history was removed from schools. It's not always pleasant. The igala too had their own conquest from the north. That is also why some parts of Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi still have kings that pay allegiance to the Attah Igala in Benue till date.
beerfraud: Some of the names of these sub-Igbo tribes are either Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw names. Even if you look at the titles that the traditional rulers of those sub Igbo ethnicities bear, they are similar to Bini, Itsekiri or Ijaw titles.
Many of these people will tell you they are not Igbo, but their language is Igbo. Ask yourself how they got to where they are today.
Look, history is not always pleasant. We have surviving photos that we cannot even publish because if we post them
Voyagerr: This have been disputed over time , the igbo back then were divided into clans, they too fought wars and captured slaves including ijaw people. The igbo even operated osu caste system .
It's stupid and illogical to say ijaws enslaved igbos when they only defeated some villages and villagers
The British even found it hard to defeat igbo . I don't know the lies runo is spreading about defeating the whole igbo or colonizing them
Ijaws enslaved ibos. History is not always pleasant but it is what it is. Asari made a similar statement and no one argued with him. There are documents and pictures too.
An example is a picture below from the 19th century showing an Ijaw man and his fully dressed children and naked slave girls. From the ichafu on the head, and bangles on calf of those slave girls, you can easily tell the tribe they are from. I have filtered out the original image to remove nudity.
pharmagba: Trump could be the best thing to America and the world America need a vocal and bold leader, this is important for world order and peace. The issue is there are some cabal in America probably backed by international conspirators and majorly the America press who hate Trump gut because he doesn't cower at them.
World order and peace lol.
When America sneezes, the world catches a cold. Trump is the one of reasons we had a covid pandemic. He disbanded the American bio-defense team stationed in Asia to prevent spread of flu like diseases/viruses like covid. Several corona virus comes out of China, but they are usually detected early and controlled. Well, until Trump disbanded that team.
The world hasn't even fully recovered from effects of covid. Inflation that came up as result of cut in interest rate is still biting. Things are still crazy expensive. Supply chain is still a mess. Prior to covid, it takes 3 months to get a new Toyota vehicle ordered from factory, nowadays to buy same or similar Toyota vehicles can take up to 2 years from when order is placed to receive them.
Trump should just go away and spend time with his grandkids. Same with Biden.
