Dear Penguin,

I didn't want to reply this post but my spirit keeps on pushing me back. I want you to bookmark this and come back to it in about a year or so may the universe grant us good life.

You see there is little or no difference in Tinubu and Buhari and you are already falling for the same set of propaganda they deployed in 2015.

Referring to Buhari's appointees as almost illeterates is unfortunate. Adamu Adamu might be a nonesense minister of Education, but he isn't an illeterates as he is a PHD Holder. So therefore Tinubu's appointees won't be different from that of Buhari.

I mean Buhari's appointees might be mostly of his ethnic block but they were Men and women of timber and calibre. They couldn't perform because their head which is the president do not seen to know what he is doing.

Claiming Tinubu has best hands is also a fallacy. Apart from Lagos, The other states in the SW his people were in charge are nonesense states. Osun state was the Poverty capital of the SW courtsey of Tinubu's right hand Man aregbesola.

Or is it Ekiti? That place is more or less a dead zone. Even Lagos under him became the second worst city to live in the world.

Let's not talk about Lagos itself because even if you put a 10year old as Govornor it can run with or without his input. It was made possible being former federal capital of Nigeria and not the magic of Tinubu

2. Claiming security will improve under Tinubu is a fallacy as there will be little or no difference in the current security architecture.

You referred to the security architecture established by Govornors of the SW which is Amotekun.

Let me bust your brain. It is only Lagos in the SW that doesn't have a single Amotekun force despite sanwo Olu attending their summits.

The creation of Amotekun has helped the SW a lot most especially Oyo state. Yet Tinubu's Lagos do not have one single Amotekun officer because of Tinubu's ambition and not wanting to offend the North.

You see he owes the North,He dare not do anything against them. He wants to be president just to answer the name. He won't do anything spectacular. We will only be taxed more.

No restructuring will happen under him. That I am sure about. Maybe some might happen if Akpabio becomes Senate president on Tuesday which I hope he does.

But if the North becomes Senate president,just forget the Tinubu presidency because they will have him by his scrotum.

The so-called subsidy removal is for government to have more money to embezzle and not for nothing else. It will only lead to more hardship for Nigerians and nothing more.

If I can remember the others you talked about I'll come edit this post

Thanks

Nigerians have blind or should I say foolish optimism...

Tinubu won't do jack.. his government will only make his crones richer and the poor masses poorer

Tinubu is an oligarch. Them go hear wee

Mark it down

one big lesson that I have learnt on nairaland .

is that no matter what you do and how you do it, people WILL complain....

humilitypays:
I have been wondering a lot of things for days now or even months prior to the election this year.


In 2012, mostly famous Yorubas; Men of God, Political Activists, Celebrities, Politicians, and even Students, Market women, etc carried the petrol subsidy removal by Goodluck Jonathan's government on their head and slammed Goodluck Jonathan, calling him all sorts of demeaning names even though it was Jonathan's economic team including then CBN Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi that championed the subsidy removal.


Yorubas didn't bother about Sanusi or any other but focused on defaming and condemning Goodluck the President.


Same thing happened in the purchase of arms during Goodluck's regime, Yorubas didn't bother to condemn Col. Sambo Dasuki or Doyin Okupe, but focused on condemning Goodluck Jonathan the President only calling for his arrest and prosecution as soon as Buhari took over office.



But fast-forward to 2022 or so, Yorubas have never condemned Buhari for any of his evil, people killing policies, even the recent currency redesign policy which Buhari himself came out to tell Nigerians that he approved it, and it was Buhari's inlaw that supervised the minting of the currencies, and never for once has Yorubas condemned Buhari massively like they have been calling for Emefiele's head who is just an appointee of Buhari that take orders from Presidency before implementing any major CBN policy like the currency redesign. Yorubas have never condemned or called for Buhari's arrest and prosecution for his abysmal performance and open looting as President of Nigeria like they did against Goodluck Jonathan and now Emefiele.



Now DSS arrested Emefiele, Yorubas are all over the internet and even on the streets celebrating as if Emefiele was the President that just handed over.



DSS have just leveled some terrorism charges against Emefiele for paying an alleged money to Taliban an Intl terror group, and Yorubas are all calling for Emefiele's head even without hearing the full story or caring to know that Emefiele cannot make such payment without the approval of Buhari the President.



Please dear Yorubas, I want to know why you guys are always scared of condemning Northerners when they do something bad but very fast and bold in condemning an Igbo or Niger Delta person even without hearing the truth of the matter? Is it that you guys are scared of Hausa-Fulanis or you hate your Southern brothers so much and ready to slaughter their head to get whatever political favor from Hausa-Fulanis?


This is absurd.



Let's remember that there is divinity, there are forces beyond human control and they must balance life events with time, it may seem rosy and smooth for us now, but what about tomorrow?

You be mumu, why you dey call Dem dear ?

pandoragirigory:
Nigerians didn't call for destruction of USA, UK, etc like Kanu nnamdi did and one Igbo boy Chinasa Micheal burn BRT buses in Lagos, Nigeria didn't execute coup and robbed USA, UK, etc like mostly Igbos coup plotters did in 1966, Nigerians didn't force themselves to be elected like Igbos was forcing one Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour that detested yorubas on them

Is it nnamdi many that is voting in Lagos ? Oga you are just tribalistic. Stop hiding it under the guise of nnamdi kanu statements...

Anambra state has large population of non indegenes but they were not molested or threatened in the last elections. Tinubu won in ebonyi yet nobody made laws to stifle the will of people

But because P.O won the presidential elections in Lagos all hell was let lose.

Atiku won in Sound you people did not complain but because an Igbo man won in Lagos ona turn am to bloodless civil war.. you people are Igbophobic yes thats the fact

These are the days of great awakening in this country

APC is playing one of the most dangerous kind of politics that have ever been played in Africa.

akanke79:
In Nigeria, this phrase was first used in 1947 to describe Lagos by the First Speaker of the House of Representatives and later Minister for Foreign Affairs, Jaja Anucha Nwachukwu. He used this term not because he believed that nobody owns Lagos but because he believed since Lagos was then the Federal Capital Territory, it belongs to all Nigerians. The question is “Which Lagos was Nwachukwu talking about”? Which Lagos was the Federal Capital of Nigeria? Most youths of today are generally disinterested in the history of Nigeria, hence, the profound ignorance about the country and its constituents.

For avoidance of doubt, Lagos State was never the capital of Nigeria. The capital city of the country until the year 1976 when the Justice Akinola Aguda recommended the movement to Abuja was the space between Fadeyi and Victoria Island in Lagos. Any other space from Fadeyi to Asaba to Ondo State to Oyo to Ogbomosho were listed under the Western Region whose Premier was Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo. For example, Mushin is not Lagos, Palm-grove is not Lagos, Ikeja is not Lagos, Oshodi is not Lagos and so on. This was the situation until the Mid-Western Region was created from the Benin and Delta provinces in 1963. It is the Mid-West that has become Edo and Delta States today.

The Federal Capital Territory which Jaja Nwachukwu referred to as “No Man’s Land” has clear and unambiguous ownership. It is important to mention that Lagos Island belong to the Aromire family and this is undisputable and not Benin. Apapa belongs to the Oluwa family, Lagos Mainland belongs to the Oloto family, Tomaro to Onisiwo, Victoria Island belongs to the Oniru family, Ikate is the land of the Elegushi family, the whole of Ijora including Ajegunle belongs to the Ojora family and so on. These are lands that are well documented and anyone who cares to know the fact should search the archives in Nigeria and London in search of the truth.

The uninformed and flippant individuals who label Lagos as a “no man’s land” should know that the ownership of Lagos was settled on 11 July 1921 when the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London which is the final Court of Appeal of the British Empire ruled that Lagos lands belong to the Idejo chiefs who are the children of Olofin. Chief Amodu Tijani Oluwa, the Oluwa of Lagos who was the plaintiff in the case took the British Government to Court for stealing his land in the process he won a huge compensation of twenty-two thousand, five-hundred-pound sterling and thirty-nine pence.


Moreover, it is important to mention that it is only one of the five divisions of Lagos State that served as the capital of Nigeria. There is still Ikorodu (Oko Odu) (farm of blackberry) which is an area that includes the entire stretch of the riverine area of Ketu, Owode-Onirin, Itowolo, up to Imota; Badagry (Agbadayigi or simply Agbada) which if from Mile Two to Badagry Town; Ikeja which covers the whole of Bariga, Somolu, Kosofe, Isolo, Mushin, Oshodi, Egbe, Ikotun, Onigbongbo, Ojokoro Ipaja, Ayobo, Ojodu, Orile Agege, Idimu and their neighbourhood; Epe (the forest of black ants) which is from Ibeju to the whole of Epe and its suburbs (Epe shares boundary with Ijebu-Ode). These divisions called ibile were created by Edict number 3 of May 1968.

Lagos as a place has existed long before the country called Nigeria and it is one of the oldest cities in Nigeria. For clear explanation, the Portuguese explorer who gave the name Lagos (Lago de Curamo meaning the Lake of Kuramo) came to the land for the first time in 1472 where he met Olofin and his children (that was 551 years ago) which makes Lagos older than virtually all modern cities in Nigeria.

Let us take a look at the year of existence of some cities. Onitsha (Onicha -mmili ) meaning is a city founded by Benin adventures in the year 1550 (473 year old. Founded almost a century after Lagos had been in existence), Enugu (Enu-Ugwu or Hill Top) was established by the Enugwu-Ngwo and Nike people around 1690). Umuhaia (the Market Place) was established by the British in the early 20th century.

Awka (Place of the blacksmiths) is one of the oldest cities in Igboland and the center of Nri civilization. Sokoto (Seat of the caliphates) was established by Uthman Dan Fodio who used the title Sarkin Musulumi) in 1804. When he died in 1817 his son Mohammed Bello was the first Sultan of Sokoto who ruled the Eastern part of Sokoto while his brother Abdullahi ruled the Western part of it. Kano (Masculinity or Capability) was probably the oldest city in Nigeria as it was established around 999 by the Hausa Bakwai people.

Kaduna (the crocodile city) was founded by Lord Fredrick Lugard in 1900 which is almost 428 years after Lagos has been existing. Abeokuta (city beneath the rock) was founded in 1830 by Sodeke who was the leader of the Egba refugees who escaped from Oyo during the period. Ibadan (near the field) was a war camp created by a group of Oyo warriors in 1829.

We have taken samples of these cities to show that Lagos is older than most cities in Nigeria and therefore it would be childish, naïve and outrightly innocent for anyone to suddenly brand a city that has existed for centuries and adorned with a rich history, an enviable culture and norms with robust traditional administration and a center of Yoruba civilization as a “no man’s land” when the entire civilization of those who are making claim for Lagos was not at all in existence when Lagos was established.

All this ona plenty talk..

Every city of the world belongs to a people the London which most Nigerians now call home belonged to the celts but today people of other ethnic background call it home..

We don't care whether PDP increase or decrease minimum wage, what we are concerned about right now is that President Tinubu the Jagaban of Africa, the Grandaddy of their Fathers Mothers should Increase the Current Minimum wage from 30k to about 70k to 90k. At least thats still very Viable.

If that happens serious inflation go wound the country

AS far as comparison is concerned. PDP remains the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria since after independence in 1960.. politically

Leaving substance to chase shadows...

Was it not Buhari that was at the helm of affairs?


That was how they were blaming emefiele to for the cashless policy that Buhari brought..

Call the leader out band stop cutting corners

The post kroos and modric Madrid will suffer for like 3 years before they'll start playing good again..

Finally the deep freezer leaves

Nigeria is not a good place... Only a few of us know this. The other majority are blinded by ethnicity and illiteracy...

This country is actually sinking

savcy:
This is exactly the position of many think tanks. The NNPC cannot decide a price template for a fully deregulated sector. The other day, NNPC MD boldly asserted that not even 100 refineries in Nigeria can alter the price template. Meaning the NNPC was still very much in control of everything, and not necessarily market forces. This is antithetical to what they say they want to achieve. I support subsidy removal only if the oil and gas sector is fully deregulated. It is time to destroy the menacing NNPC from its roots. It is utterly bizarre that a regulator of an industry is actively involved in business in the same industry. NNPC cannot be the sole importer of petroleum products and oversee subsidy removal. It must return to its responsibility of regulation and leave independent importers to import. It's either that or they return to status quo.

When Atiku said that we don't need the NNPC many they twisted his statement to mean selling off all national assets,

Kobojunkie:
1. Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10.

2. So, the others who were equally chosen by Jesus Christ and the many after that were not also chosen by the same Jesus Christ?

3. I asked you a question there since you suggested they went on to teach something you referred to as the Law of God, which needed clarifying since there was more than one Law of God at the time.

4. I am afraid I am not an apostle to the apostles so I don't partake in the singing of songs of praise to the apostles. sorry!

Oga are you trying to be clever by half or you don't just want to understand ?
The 12 were a special group as shown in the passages I showed you. Do you know the names of the other seventy two you are mentioning ? Do you know why the 12 were specially mentioned ?

Among the 12 did you see a woman's name ?

Infact a simple general study of the bible shows that God deals with men and not women, it doesn't mean he hates them it's just his design.

Just say you don't believe the bible. Instead of contradicting it

hashtagged:
The Bible shows us facts that God loves his children which are both men and women end of story

God loves his children both men and women true

But God uses men for his work that's a fact that is clear all over the bible from the new testament to old testament.. you cannot contradict this fact using the bible

Kobojunkie:
1. So because Jesus Christ didn't get women into His first 12 means what Jesus Christ said of all being equals in His Kingdom is a lie?

2. You do know that the same Jesus Christ also sent out 72 others, this time with women in their midst to do the very same. Or are you under some assumption that the first 12 where the only disciples Jesus Christ ever had?

3. The apostles ignored the New Covenant and Law Jesus Christ had taught them to teach in order to teach a different Law instead?

First question again, where exactly in scripture did Jesus say all being are equal

Secondly the apostles were specially chosen by Christ and they are on a different standing to the other 72 you mentioned, if you read the life account of Jesus very well, you'll discover that they( the 12 apostles ) were always distinctively mentioned in all that Jesus did. e.g luke. 6:13 -15
Matt. 26: 18 - 23 .matt.19: 28... and many other instances in the synoptic gospel. Also read revelations. 21:14.

And thirdly how did you arrive at the conclusion that the apostles abandoned all that Jesus Christ had thought them

In all their writings they acknowledged the authority of Christ. First corinthians.1: 10-15. First peter.1:1-2
And many others I know, but cannot quote now

And your third assertion that they ignored the new covenant is also questionable

The primary reasons why the the apostles in the suffered persecution was because of their unwillingness to drop the message of Jesus... They died like their master Christ, a faith Jesus told them that they'll suffer acts.4:13- 20. Acts 5: 25 - 41. Paul said same thing in second corinthians. 11: 23-30

These men were killed cause of Christ I tell you they'd have stopped preaching if they were motivated by earthly gains..

Kobojunkie:
1. Why are you taking commands from a man and not from Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ, the one who you claim to belong to, already told you that All are equals -- no division between genders -- in His Kingdom. Yet you feel a supposed command which you believe violates Jesus Christ rendering Him a liar is what you should opt for? Are you being real?

2. Is the passage you quoted the direct words of Jesus Christ Himself or that of a man?

First questions first, Jesus had 12 apostles how many of them were women ?

Jesus also told the apostles that they would teach other people that will come after them what he's gospel is all about trough the gift of the holy spirit

Matt.28:19-ff,. John 14: 26

What the apostles thought after the death of Christ are commandments of God

Manutd 3: city 1

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid that lie was fed you by your mogs and pastors and has nothing to do with God. Jesus Christ never set any human up as spiritual leader over others in His flock - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10.

Does the command in first corinthians. 14: 34 -35 look like a command from any mog ?

What of first Timothy. 2: 11-12

Armaggedon:
Yoruba people are tribalistic. Cut the long story short.

That's the simple truth.. they are the most tribalistic among the 2.

Ebubu2:
Muhammadu Buhari International Airport Ebonyi has more National appeal than the name Chuba Okadigbo though



Big respect to Oba of Benin for having Benin international airport named after Him.

Oba of Benin get serious rep for Naija pass Oni

The only King with international airport named after him



Awolowo international airport port harcourt is very befitting. The man truly deserves international airport as Azikiwe has taken Abuja.


No airport for Aguiyi Ironsi, Babangida, Abdusalam, Gowon ?

I laff in Spanish

No be everything be competition
The founding fathers all played key role in the actualization of Nigerias independence

But if we really want to call the father of Nigeria. It is Azikiwe, most of the other guys were very regional he drove a national front even during the civil war and he wield so much influence in that first republic.

If that man was like Awolowo and the Sadurna Ahmedu Bello, what we would have today will be 3 different countries. Which probably would have been better

That's why many pro Biafra Igbos don't like him




In any case they were all great men..
