Your obsession for the USA is driving you nuts. You are now creating multiple accounts just for the purpose of disparaging the country you love to hate.

I wish you quick recovery.

Eyah! It seems you feel so hurt. But have you said the same to those who are obsessed with supporting U.S and Israel on Nairaland?

Angelfrost:
No American president is supposed to walk around freely...!

They aren't just ruling America, they are the main face of the whole universe.

BTW, why not compare South Africa to your own nation?!! Is it bad if Tinubu strolls around Bourdillion by himself?!!

Trump's life was almost ended by a bullet during his campaign. Of course you we are saying the same thing. America is what it is.

nairalanda1:
NO American president can walk freely on the street...regardless of party. There are just too many madt people who want to make history.(Read about the chap who tried to off Ronald Reagan. He was released after spending 40 years in a psych hospital..to repair his mind thoroughly because at the time he fired the shot, he was madt.)

Two past American presidents (albeit in the 19th century) paid the price for thinking they could walk freely with limited security.

I am talking about Trump. His life is in Danger.

LoneSoldier:
Is America more worse than your country Nigeria.....

America is not worst, it depends on the places you travel to....

Because the guy got shot in Utah, doesn't not give you the right to conclude that the whole places in America is worst or bad.....

Same logic applies to Nigeria. Yet the truth is, social media has really exposed the United States for what it really is outside Hollywood fabrications. After all Trump escaped been assassinated by a whiskers.

Even as president there are threats to his life by some Americans. They are only waiting for the right time.

On the other thread about South African President crossing the street freely, I made a comment about Trump, that he can't move freely in the U.S.A. That Trump in a hunted man, he is wanted dead by some Americans. The mods deleted my comment.

And there you have it, on American soil, anyway. It is not the first time and won't be that last.

FavouriteOfGod:
Or it's more of the mentality that the country isn't working out as ideally should.

That's the main reason it is a orientation problem. You can be running away from challenges and expect to get fixed by itself.

comradee1248:
This is inhumane @ all, haba! Just because of Palm oil? Go and catch people stealing billions and do that to them not some one just hustling for what to eat.

There was peace before Oct 27 2024 attack on Isreal! 'I will turn the craftiness of the wicked into foolishness'!.-bible.
We must all weigh the consequences of our actions....let peace rein!

Peace? Where?! Even in the Bible, middle East has never known peace.

omoredia:

Lol 😂

What shall we call this?! You left Nigeria which you called with funny names only to go to Ghana and end up in prison for stealing.

YourKarma:
ok, so you're not shifting blames from the government to the people. Earlier you blamed Jonathan, then you blamed the opposition. Very soon you'll blame the ancestors

The same applies to South East. The more people cover for them and not stand up to them, there will never be a solution.

These one come to extract minerals illegally. It is not news.

Lol 😂. Why is this so funny?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. They should stop playing games Abeg.

omoadeleye:
So how many tractors do you expect a house of rep member to deliver as an empowerment?

How many of these?

Drama wan continue. This matter go long well well. 🤣

creolehunt:
So that is why the government should now fold its hands and watch 10s of people die on a daily basis? Becasue the people.know them? How about the slain who don't know them?

What then is the job of the so-called NIA and DSS ID they can't gather intelligence

But the people can sit and watched themselves being killed without a fight.

omoadeleye:
Well, he empowered the farmers, you guys expect them to empower farmers with computers

Contemporary farming is computerized. So, what happened to tractors?!

creolehunt:
Overcoming terrorism is about the will of the people?

Dp ypu guys even listen to yourself? Why are ypu so desperate to absolve the government of its responsibility to the people

The people know them, the live with them, they cover for them, they supply them with food, fuel, information. It's common sense.

ttoyetade:
It has not been so. Japa is only recent. The 9 to 5 jobs are no longer there and Nigerians are always copying others . follow follow

Japa is not recent. That's why even most of our political office holders, as old as most may be, you will still find out that they once were living outside the country long ago, some earning university degrees, others working for firms.

With what? Knives and cutlass against Ak-47?... You want make them die finish?

The things happening today have been happening very long before now and there is a reason why Southwest is the least affected.

Let me take you back to 2000. Buhari had to travel down to Oyo State when Lam Adesina was Governor. He came along with Bubba Marwa to plead on behalf of his Fulani tribe because the people of a place, a big city though called Saki in Oyo State stood up against the invasion of Fulanis at that time. They were taught a lesson which till today, the mention of Saki sends shivers in their heart.

It was a fight by the people, for their own survival. All it takes is courage, determination.

People complaining and crying about propaganda today were the ones who started the whole propaganda game. Lol 😂.

The projected Tinubu as someone who pee on himself. Who is very fragile, old and ill.

But today, we all can see.

It's been so since a very long time ago. As far back, it is more of a lack of proper orientation over many decades.

No more crying over one party system. ADC the opposition party with David Mark and Aregbesola as Chairman and Secretary. 🤣🤣🤣

omoredia:
What about Oshodi? History is there and cannot be changed. Benin owns the land. Lets not be deceived by politics

Lol 😂. This really now shows not only your frustration but also your ignorance. Oshodi was a Nupe, Tapa warrior refugee in Eko.

omoredia:
here’s a list of Lagos areas whose names show Edo/Benin influence, mostly from the prefix “Idun/Idumu” (meaning “quarter/settlement” in Edo):

Lagos Island & Environs

1. Idumota – “Idumu Ota” (Ota’s quarter).


2. Idumagbo – “Idumu Agbo” (Agbo’s quarter).


3. Idumagbon – “Idumu Agbon” (Agbon’s quarter).


4. Idumadan – “Idumu Adan” (Adan’s quarter).


5. Idunsagbe / Idunsagbe market (old records).


6. Idunsare – settlement named after a leader/family.



Others

Idumota Market (famous Lagos market) keeps the Benin-rooted name.

Idumagbo Avenue still carries that Edo heritage.

Many smaller streets on Lagos Island begin with “Idun/Idumu.”


Why this happened

In the 15th–16th centuries, Eko (Lagos Island) was a settlement under the control of the Oba of Benin.

When the Benin Empire stationed warriors, traders, and administrators in Eko, they organized the island into quarters (idumu), naming them after people, families, or guilds.

Over time, even as Yoruba became the dominant language in Lagos, the Edo naming pattern remained in place.


👉 That’s why today you see many “Idum–” names in central Lagos, especially around markets and old quarters, reflecting Benin heritage woven into Lagos identity.

The concept of Idum is not different to Sabo. It is used to refer to settlement of migrants.

Later the guy would come and run for president after his release our SW brothers would have no issue voting for him just like the Chicago drug Lord.

And win flawlessly.
