I wonder why other Yorubas will always remember that Yoruba is one when it comes to Lagos politics and eating the spoils that comes from it, would the same apply to other Yoruba states ? Can an indigene of Lagos state carry same statement to go and contest governorship in oyo or ekiti or Ondo or oshun ? Or does it apply to only Lagos because they see the indigenes and the state as conquered territory ie a no man’s land?

Don't mind them.

They should accommodate the herdsmen, they don't have a choice.

Mean while, their people don't care whether herdsmen occupy ogun state and the remaining SW states. All there care is Lagos. So, ogun farmers, you guys are on your own.

Enugu is a nice city.

Wike is starting to challenge Nigerians to do something.
He seem not to care. In his mindset, the army and the police are there to safeguard him.
It is one thing to rig. It is a totally different thing to rig so openly as if the wishes of the people don't matter

Nigerians should stop Wike before he stops Nigeria

Is it rivers state people that will stop wike madness in rivers state not Nigerians.

Can wike rig election in Kano, Yobe, Delta, Anambra, osun , benue etc. Can he do that ? No.

Wike rigging of election in rivers didn't start today. He rigged election with impunity and get away with it and rivers state people are just there looking him. Very docile and weak set of people.

When Chris ubah did the same godfather ism nonsense in Anambra. Anambra people rallied with our governors which was Ngige and obi to chase him and retire him from politics. Even though, Chris ubah has the federal government backing under OBJ administration. Yet, we still chase him out of politics together with his brother Andy.

Anambra people didn't wait for Nigeria to help them defeat Chris ubah. We did it ourselves. Rivers state people should do the same to wike which I doubt whether they will still do it.

Is there any difference between Chris ubah and Nyeson wike ? No! If Chris ubah was from rivers state. He be controlling rivers state the same way Wike is currently doing.

Na Rivers state people dey tolerate wike nonsense. He insulted their traditionnal rulers on National TV when he was a governor. Nothing happened. Nobody criticize him. Rivers people were silent.

He rigged election with impunity. He stole obi votes. He installed fubara. Fubara resisted. He remove him through SOE. He installed his new LG chairmen. Etc. His atrocities in rivers state is endless. In all these, Rivers state people were silent ? Are they men at all in rivers state.

Wike has been emboldened. He will continue to do more damage in rivers and destroy the state kpatakpata.

Rivers state people should enjoy their emperor KIM JUN WIKE.

richmond500:
Jesu, I stayed around Ada George, I saw his convoy.

They have finally fabricated the results, na them sabi sha

Wike is holding Rivers state to ransom. The state is living in bondage under him.

Man do anything he likes and get away with it with impunity.

PulaPower:
What’s the turn out? Give us the numbers..

How many people did turnout that you counted?

Like this one abi ? The turnout was very low. Wike has fabricated the result as usual. He did it in 2023 elections

tunjijones:
Remaining Abia state that is still paying 30k as minimum wage

Yoruba man face front.

How much is Ekiti, oyo and ogun paying ? I thought una IGR is bigger than America and China combined together ?

Ndi IGR and propaganda

We are not surprised at the figures No be Wike again

Million votes when the turnout was very extremely low!!

richmond500:
The former chairman of Akuku-Toru, this is his polling unit

The results has come out.

Wike has fabricated it as usual. 2 Million votes

Kobicove:
You mean we have 550K IDP in Benue State alone?

That's the population of a small town

That's the population of bayelsa state.

Kemetian:
As someone who spent some youthful years in Aba in the 80s and 90s I'm happy to.see it being restored to its former glory. Well done to the governor. Also please ensure PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS on every road constructed including inner city roads.

Open gutters are an eyesore, and are outlawed in every sane society.

Are there no open gutters in lagos ?

Ikaeniyan0:
Obidients will still complain because it's not Otti

Imo state is the East. We like it. Uzodimma did well.

LegendHero:
If PDP is dead, why did they do better by far than ADC in the last by-election? Even in Adamawa, Atiku ADC amounted to nothing.

In all the election, PDP came second and still won some of the seats. Let me tell you, Atiku is like water, he take the form of any compartment he find himself him, he got no true form of his own.

ADC will never get 25% in 24 states. It is practically impossible. So what is his pathway to victory?

You can't use by election mainly state local election to determine what will happen in 2027. Presidential election and State election no be the same. The stakes are higher in presidential.

As far as this 2027 president election is concerned. Pdp is dead. Who will be their candidate ? Not Obi. Not Jonathan. Even Obi or Jonathan won't even go to Pdp. To what exactly ? The Pdp that are sub of Apc. The Pdp that wike has almost destroy.

Pdp need a strong politician that will review their dead party and I don't see it happening. Let them give Wike their ticket.

2027 presidential election will be a two horse race. Nobody will divide votes again. That's where Atiku has an advantage. Obi will be his VP. He needs him now.

ADC is still gaining momentum. Atiku Just enter the party last month. By this time next year. You will see that large coalition.

Atiku pathway to victory is very simple. All need is Obi as his running mate. Atiku will do well in the north. Obi will replicate the same in the South.

Using the results of 2023 election. 6 + 7 million= 13 million votes. 12 + 12 states= 24 States. Atiku obi ticket will even get more than 25% in 24 States.

Rutherford2019:
I didn't mention Yoruba, Hausa or any ethnic group in Nigeria
Infact I didn't mention anyone's name aside Igbos
Why are you upset?

They are bunch of insecure people. People with siege mentality. What do you expect ?

Ikaeniyan0:
You're grasping at straws. Without the massive VAT from Oyo state, the south east will collapse

You can continue to tax your people. Na only tax Una sabi.

Imo and Anambra are still richer than Oyo. Economy is measured by GDP not tax.

DrMB:
Why does tiny Ekiti outshine giant Kano and Lagos in senatorial productivity? How can the Federal Capital Territory, the political heartbeat of Nigeria, rank dead last? And what explains Sokoto’s slide to the bottom despite its storied political heritage?
These are the puzzles thrown up by the latest Senators’ Productivity Index (June 2023 – June 2024), which ranks Ekiti at the very top with a staggering 292 points, while Sokoto and the FCT trail behind with scores of 15 and 11 respectively.

What do you mean by senators productivity ? Is Nigeria senate productive In the first place ? Bunch of criminals, rogues and looters in the Nigeria senate.

Factcheck0001:
check their percentage to ibos we have in the south west

Percentage ko, Formula ni

Your kinsmen are doing tailoring work and taxi driver work in Owerri.

Eze and nwaneri will do well in Arsenal. Remove madueke from that list. He no sabi ball.

WizardOfNG:
It really is sad. They now want to claim, in advance, and in case of any trophies Arsenal win from this point onwards, they "developed" one of the best clubs in the world and glory must go to them.

Several nations have more than one of their players representing Arsenal. Like Spain that has won so much. Brazil Also.

Arsenal even has a Spanish manager for God sake. Those guys are not saying Arsenal is about them because they understand the adage " there is no I in team".

Yet our own developers of the Universe are ready to declare Arsenal a Biafra team. Like Ttalk said, it is "disgusting" but , IMO, not surprising because "that's who they are". Lol.

You should just read and pass instead of writing all long Epistles

Ikaeniyan0:
Only Lagos, Ogun and Abuja lead Oyo state in fuel consumption. Oyo state generate more VATs than all the states in the south east in 2024.

No state in the south east can compete with Oyo state

ProudlyLagos:

Know your mate boy!

WizardOfNG:
Go and console your greatest female Chimamanda Adichie crying publicly about the horror in the SE and lamenting "this is not who we are".

She too used to be full of pro-Igbo hubris. Now she is subdued and dispirited. At least she is no longer making excuses and has reasonably concluded, albeit belatedly, you guy have a serious problem.

Unlike your sort who got the SE got where she is backing and egging on Kanu, IPOB, UGM etal.

Have you condenm the ritual killings that is endemic in your region ?

You see it and keep silence. See no evil. Say no evil. That's your mantra in the South West.

Continue hiding the ritual calamity. It won't stop it. It will continue to come out.

Putinofrussia:
Use your head.
Abuja...North
LAGOS...West
Enugu....

But Enugu was not in the list ?

WizardOfNG:
Bro, you know how to note reasonable and unreasonable Igbos here NL? Reasonable Igbos will never be on threads like this because they are sad at what it reveals and know things are not as they should be in their region.

They accept that indeed other regions are better meaning Igbo must make changes. They won't come here to try and be defending what cannot be defended.

Unreasonable Igbos will be here trying to discredit information revealed engaging engaging in whataboutism and calling colour white black like the chap saying Enugu is now some safe utopia because of one NBC conference whereas Nigerians are still not voting with their feet to relocate there or any other SE State.

Obvious the Unreasonable ones are far greater in number than folks like Soludo, Ijelespeak etal hence the current state of the SE.

If NBA had move their conference out of Enugu siting security challenges and host it anywhere else outside the South East, you will be dancing makosa Since it doesn't suit your propaganda, you want to change the narrative.

Nobody is discrediting any information. You can't use the criminality and violence in 1 or 2 local government to judge the entire region.

Orsu and ihiala both in Anambra and imo are the hotbed of ipob esn violence. Nobody is denying the fact. The two Local government shares border and their terrain makes it difficult for security agencies to penetrate.

But on March last year 2024. There was breakthroughttps://saharareporters.com/2024/03/08/nigerian-troops-raid-destroy-alleged-ipob-esn-supreme-headquarters-anambra-kill-scores

Combined JTF and Vigilante from both States liberated those villages. Their were massively dislodged. The few that makes it alive run as far as possible and stay in the bush where Army and communities vigilantes set up by Ordima Orsu and ihiala are still hunting them to finish the remaining ones.

There is no record of hotbed of ipob violence in Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi. None.

But you can't say the same about the ritual killings that is endemic in SW.

Osebanjo:
Maybe you don’t understand migration pattern. Most NW folks will migrate to Kano/Kaduna the two major powerhouse in the region just like the central would rather prefer a not too expensive manageable powerhouse in the North central, reason Kwara probably made the list, most Kogi and Benie folks would rather try their luck in neighboring Kwara than going to start looking homeless in Abuja due to high standard of living in the city. The South west zone is simple, people are choosing yo stay in Ibadan for their own peace of mind than move over to overcrowded Lagos and Ogun state is an industrial state so folks will always move there for industrial jobs and Osun enjoy constant electricity so the pattern is quite understandable. Most south easterners move far away from home in most cases.

You lied in your last sentence.

In the South East is the same. People in Enugu Imo and Ebonyi move to Aba, onitsha and Nnewi because those 3 cities are the commercial and industrial hub of the east.

LegendHero:
Lol NBA 2002 conference was hosted in Ibadan. NBA will host their conference anywhere they want, that is not a determinant of better security.

Mind you Rivers state was initially scheduled to host this year conference, Enugu was an afterthought.

I can travel somewhere for an event with the government providing security and people staying in close proximity and might not necessarily live there.

If they say a state is insecure, they don’t mean people don’t live there or visit. Even during the peak of insecurity in Borno, people still live there and attend parties.

Lol. 2002 when we are in 2025. That's far bro. Maidugri was also peaceful in 2002.

Until NBA host their conference in maidugri, kastina, gombe even kwara. Until then.

I disagree with your third paragraph. Can FIFA FIFA host their world cup in Ukraine or Gaza ? Can Afcon host their tournament in Libya or sudan ? After all, people stay in a small proximity and doesn't live there ?

Can you go for a conference in Ukraine and stay for two weeks, after all, you don't live there ?

Enugu hosting NBA conference show how peaceful and safe Enugu and South East is.

We know how you people use your propaganda to demonize the South East. It didn't start today.

And this your statistics is false! The only two states people migrate or relocate to is only lagos and Abuja. That's why it is the melting point of every tribes and ethnicities which also makes jt a cosmopolitan cities.

I don't know what Calabar, Uyo, kwara,Oyo even gombe is doing in the list

madridguy:
OYO state government should do everything in their power to make sure they protect the state from vampires. Oyo State is the power house of Yoruba people.

Nobody relocates to your Oyo state.

Infact most people from Oyo , ogun, kwara relocated to Lagos more than anyone other people from other regions. That's why most of you are lagosians

LegendHero:
There was a thread on Twitter some days ago that if they give you 800k salary or something that where will you live (Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Oyo, and etc).

Most people chose Oyo state.

People choose state based on many criteria. Affordability, security, relative opportunity, and night life.

Oyo state somehow is one of the states where you can get that guarantee.

No one will choose to go and live in any South East state because no security in that region.

Enugu host NBA conference this year. NBA didn't see Oyo, ogun etc But they see Enugu. The joke is on you.

If SE is not secure according to agbadorians, they would have taken their conference to another region. But they choose Enugu.

Hotels everywhere booked in Enugu till November December! Visitors from Abuja even as well as other African countries coming to Enugu. Enugu airports very busy 247.

Hospitality industries in Enugu are cashing out steady. 247. Continue with you propaganda.


Mind you Abuja and Lagos are two places mainly hosting NBA conference. But this time, they chooses Enugu, why ? They see what you can't see.

Enugu will now be hosting NBA conference alongside lagos and Abuja.
