I told you fuel subsidy was a scam!
Landing cost of imported fuel to Nigeria is some of the cheapest in the world, not just because it is some of the dirtiest in the market but also the foreign refineries get to keep the residues from crude oil, but u love to argue!

Even Jesus say sell your robe and buy a weapon!

Here comes the church to put people to sleep!

They are all part of the problem!
With their personal escorts that are supposed to be guarding the people!

In the picture you uploaded, they are all with their rifles!

Your anxiety was probably killing your sperm cells, I'm sure after 2 months you go don dey fear!
But the moment you stop worrying about it, the body fixed itself,
Of course if the story is real in the first place and not one of those stories you read at the back of those pamphlets

To think some very ill people were hoping the military took power not too long ago!

They claim that hardship is what pushes them into crime in Nigeria. But when they go to those countries that are believed to be full of opportunities, they take crimes to higher levels.

The funny part na all the money wey Dem dey spend on socks and ip switching, but FBI na FBI

Do the crime, jejely do the time!
5 years is quite fair

The reason why this war doesn't bother me is because if the Islamists had the upper hand, they would do exactly the same thing especially since their books tell them to hunt Jews, so in a nutshell they are practically the same coin!
One side Zionist the other side Islamists!

Omo the guy still put shops for front of 'mansion'

This is beyond madness. The persistent attempts by certain individuals to insert the Igbo identity into Yoruba history are not just misleading—they are disgraceful and, frankly, sinister. A warning bell was rung decades ago. In a letter published in the Times Literary Supplement on 24 October 1975, D.A.N. Jones foresaw the confusion that could arise from shifting the spelling of “Ibo” to “Igbo”(see attached). He specifically used the example of Ijebu-Igbo to illustrate how such a change could distort geographical and historical understanding. What Jones could not have anticipated was the emergence of mischievous revisionists like @ChurchillNwagwu, whose objective seems less about historical clarity and more about historical colonization.

Here are the facts. Up until the mid-1970s, "Ibo" was the most commonly used spelling in literature and documentation. While variants such as "Igbo," "Heboe," and "Eboe" appear in texts, "Ibo" dominated most records. Regardless of spelling, the term was coined outside the present-day Igbo region. It was a label applied externally, mainly by slavers and slave traders. The earliest written reference to the name dates back to 1627, when Spanish priest Alonso de Sandoval used it in a list describing “a group of forty to fifty independent villages who recognized no king, fought regularly, often sold their women and children as slaves, and were all cannibals.” In several Niger Delta dialects, “Igbo” meant “slave,” and even among communities west of the River Niger, the term carried a similar derogatory connotation.

Because of its pejorative foreign origin, the term was rarely adopted as an ethnic self-identifier until much later. It was often used to describe “others,” “strangers,” or “slaves.” In Onitsha, for example, the term was commonly applied to people from the interior with a connotation of 'backwardness'. Even Nnamdi Azikiwe, in his 1930 article Fragments of Onitsha History, used “Igbo” to refer to neighboring tribes. It was only in the 20th century, with the rise of pan-ethnic consciousness, that the term was retroactively enriched with ethnic content to describe a unified Igbo identity.

In contrast, Yoruba history is well documented and internally consistent. As a group, the Yoruba had limited contact with the Igbo until the 1930s. Yet, in recent times, we are seeing audacious attempts by some Igbo writers to claim ancestral links to Ife, the spiritual home of the Yoruba. Entire books, authored even by PhD holders, have been written to justify this fantasy, often citing a single recent royal gaffe as their “evidence.” But the historical record contradicts them. The Ugbo people, whose name is often misappropriated in these narratives, still exist and are indisputably Yoruba. Their oral traditions and the Ife creation myth corroborate each other, firmly rooting them in Yoruba cosmology.

Moreover, Yoruba towns like Ijebu-Igbo, Igbo-Ora, and others being claimed by these revisionists predate any known use of “Igbo” as an ethnic identifier in southeastern Nigeria. These are towns with rich, established histories, well before any collective identity known as “Igbo” emerged in its current form.

This rewriting of history is not only intellectually dishonest - it is an act of cultural theft. To impose a fabricated narrative on Yoruba heritage in the name of “shared ancestry” or “common identity” is to erase the real histories of real peoples. And we will continue to resist all such attempt.

Exactly!
The Ooni needs to be educated
This type of error is too weird

"We have good evidence to believe that Igbo race has its roots here in Ile-Ife. There is Ile-Igbo here in the palace which was not a recent creation but has been existing here for decades. For this and many other reasons, I believe we need proper documentation of our history,” the Ooni said.

It surprises me that the Ooni hasn't educated himself enough to know that Igbo is a very recent connotation! It has always been Ibo, older ibos would call their associations Ndibo not Ndigbo!

Imagine the useless book has a part 1-3!
This is actually really disturbing!
I know this is linked to the bill to make non indigens become indigenous to the SW
I can just imagine if the great Awolowo didn't see through the deceit!

A mobile phone is a vault, a photo album, a diary, an archive all rolled in one!
It's over private!

Is Nigeria a better country compared to North Korea?

YES!

OBUKOMENA:
Since the inception of gov Oyebanji's tenure, the quality of news emanating from that State has been amazing, back-to-back.

I am not there; but I want to believe what I have been hearing is in consonance with the reality on ground.

I am an Igbo from the South-South. May God bless Oyebanji and Ekiti State!

What exactly is commendable about turning the people to almajiri?
I have said it a million times, EVERY Southern politician envies northern politicians,

When it's the rich u go see long explanation, but for the poor man korope or okada na impound straight

Love800:
What do you mean by "9 armed law enforcement agencies pls?"

Nigeria has multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and others.

There is no blue print!
No 20 years plan
There is no visible goal we are working towards
Just a rotating government that is run on favours,
How long can this really continue?

The problem with war is that some people ALWAYS get richer, arms suppliers, contractors in charge of meals, logistics etc, top echelons, chief security officers, terrorists, negotiators, commanders....the list goes on,

So don't for a second think everyone wants an end to insecurity!

To think Nigeria has over 9 armed law enforcement agencies makes this issue even more unbelievable!

Correct!
I just don't know how people think a people that hate you in real life would want to share heaven with you!
Saudi Arabia buys weapons from USA but somehow black people have been told the Quran has powers!!!

Don't blame Pakistan, that is their biggest export!

I wonder how El Rufai will feel seeing all these!
Coz before na so so massacre we dey hear!
And to think this same El Rufai is trying to rescue Nigeria is too ironic

ThothHermes:
Every administration tries so hard to be worse than the previous.

I was talking to a friend and he said anybody will be better than Tinubu and I just laughed,
The next president will be wayyyy worse!

Why are we always repelling?

Any politician that doesn't declare war on classism is a joker and a common thief
