She just wanted to stand in opposition, nothing sensible in what she posited about the content of the renewed anthem, besides the fact that it is an unnessary waste of legislative time by the National Assembly

If that is the case, shouldn't they be at the forefront in championing the Palestinian cause?

Instead they rejoice at anything that limits the Palestinians from having a country on their own land that is occupied by Jewish refugees from Europe.

Invest in Igboland at your own peril

The Republican Party has become a Trump Party like PDP has become an Atiku party.

Despite all the pointers to his future conviction, he still won the party ticket only to bring disgrace, shame, and electoral defeat to the party.

Like Trump, Like Atiku.

Both are a great albatross to their respective parties.

True.

elbulk:


Sorry ingrate because you have him land and he didn't thank you, or you paid for the land for him.
Don't let your hate rule you.

Ingrate because he did not appreciate the consideration he was given by the federal government.

In a sane society, he should have been penalised and duly taxed by the government for income made owing to the encroachment and also billed for any demolition done on the encroached land.

patrickcollins:
Yes their meetings have crashed down the price of Garri in the market

Someone post a positive message to motivate Nigerians, but like a skunk you had to pollute the message with your malfeasance?

The same Kano dem say Tinubu no go see votes in 2027?

Many governors are loyal to Tinubu because they know he is a Democrat who does not interfere in what is not within his powers to do so.

Tinubu knows what it means for a Governor and his state to suffer under a dictatorial president like he did under Obasanjo.

After today's forced stay at home and the attacks on security and military personnel while on their lawful duty, this is what I expect to hear from Maryanne Moghalu.

Good question to ask the ingrate.

“I have asked Landmark to publish his title documents. Till today, he has not published it,” Umahi said.

“In fact, if I do one hundred meter corridor, the two buildings of Landmark would have gone. We did 30 30-meter corridor to save his property and he is not grateful because he is using it for politics.

“None of Landmark property was involved in the demolition and no permanent structure along that road. His property is in one plus 800.

“I saved his two properties, not because he is Landmark, but I am a developer because whatever you sow is what you will reap.”

Lagos state government should publish it on behalf of the ingrate.

Raskimonojendor:
As for Otti, he knows Igbos are majority of his supporters so he had to pander to them unlike Enugu governor that doesn't give a damn about those riff raff. I would rather trust PDP than trust that LP(IPOB) party.

What is Peter Obi's excuse?

He could not speak up for Igbo kids who were to sit for the exam that was threatened by the terrorist group.

Will he also not speak up for the military men who have lost their lives today?

Obi is a coward.

Who would have known that Obi knows how to shut his mouth?

Like Atiku, he will never rule this country.

As for Oby Ezekwesili, she remains a disgraced bigot.

To think she and Dora Akunyili were friends and she could not voice out at the madness that blew open the face of Dr Chike Akunyili, as it bares it fangs against Igbos once again in their annual quest for anarchy and sorrow.

But, maybe they actually love anarchy and sorrow in those parts.

Good!

It is like the Jews are determined to remain global outcasts.

ryloy:


All Obidients are cowards

I never knew Peter Obi can stop talking and stop reacting.

Anyway, e sure me die that he will at least send condolence messages to the military men who lost their lives today in service of the country he wants to rule in the future as their Commander In Chief.

Obi is a talkative only when he wants media attention for things that happen outside of his native Igboland.

He supports the terrorism going on in the SouthEast.

I think the Tinubu regime should continue to ignore them until those who bear the brunt beg the federal government to save them from themselves.

vanbonattel:
Liars

No Igbo person can attack a child going for exams.

No single child was hurt today because of exams.

So why did IPOB and its sympathisers began to campaign to shift the exam?

Continue to live a delusion until it consumes you.

Just imagine what has become of the Southeast?

Just because of one nuisance hunchback.

Well, he too will never live a free man in this world.

Bacteriafonja:
Yorubaas U na never see anything yet

A Yoruba that spells Ebimpawa.

As in letter m?

Clansmen from the East cannot hide their character.

PHIPEX:
Thats why you should give accolade to local investors rather than demolishing their businesses

Compare how much this company invested in Nigeria with the amount LandMark beach invested, yet they are not regarded

Landmark like all other businesses, should keep themselves within the confines of the space they have procured.

It is certainly an economic security concern, to have a country's production capacity tied majorly to foreign firms who can always exit once the business climate is not favourable.

ANSMEDIA:
Where is that moniker that always says west is safe for business I'm yet to hear any company shutdown in the east, propaganda always have expiring date

Cc FREESTUNG propaganda doesn't run economy

What has the shutdown got to do with any section of the country besides the economy of the country as a whole?

Do you have multinationals in the East?

If the economy of Nigeria is not conducive for foreign investors who require stability of currency exchange to make profit from their investments, are they not going to shit down in the places that they run their operation?

How many Nigerian owned manufacturing conglomerate have shut down?

Were you expecting them to shut down where they do not exist?

igwebuike01:

Na English you de speak. Everywhere is currently on complete shut down. Even highway Link other zones

Enjoy your terrorism.

mrvitalis:

If you went to school you would know they have ID cards, and tags with their number attached

Are you good now?

You mean WAEC invigilators have WAEC ID card?

Are they not just regular teachers playing an Ad-hoc role for the exam?

Except all teachers have a right to move freely as do all every human have a right to move freely unless limited by the government if a curfew is declared.

Did any federal or state government declare a curfew?

mrvitalis:

Allow igbos mourn in peace

you killed 3 million of us

carved up our land to be dominated by others

You denied us federal positions ( that's your loss anyway)

Covered our roads with check points like we are under a concentration camp

You take our resources gas n gives us nothing

Yet you won't allow us mourn?

Anyone who wants to desecrate today for Bisfrans deserves death and his blood in his own hands

Outside children writing Weac, medical professionals and people who needs medical care ,and weac Invigilators n exam officers anyone outside today is an enemy of indigo

DSS should be on the trail of this terrorist sympathiser.

Sapiens3:

Nonsense

As we Nigerians adopted it on merit after a selection process made by a Nigerian committee, it ushered in a new and independent Nigeria.

I only hope that our leaders can return us to that independent but old Nigeria, that will be prosperous and attract the contribution of the best minds from around the world.

Our brain drain should be reverted to a brain gain.

LegendHero:


I also don’t care about the new national anthem, infact I think Tinubu shouldn’t have done it because I don’t think it’s what we need right now. But he already done it, so we don’t have a choice than to accept. People should have protested it before the NASS pass it if truly we don’t want it.

However, as someone from the young generation, the first time I ever heard the old national anthem was in the movie “October 1st” by Kunle Afolayan. There was a scene where one teacher was teaching the students in preparation for October 1st Independence Day.

I watched that movie with my brother, the first thing me and my brother uttered was “Why did we changed this lovely anthem”. We loved that anthem immediately we heard it. That was when I now went to read more on why it was changed and etc.

Like the other poster asserted, my mum who was born in the early 1950s also referred positively to that anthem a lot while I was growing up.

So it would seem it is a generational thing as the oldies yearn for the glorious days of their childhood, while we who were shaped in the military mould, hold on to the things the military gave to us.

If a return to old anthem can be done, then a return to regional governments or better political restructuring can be effected by a democratic government.

It is time for democratic Nigeria to shape Nigeria, instead of just living the system the military regimes put in place to usher a return to democracy.

Tinubu got balls. Let him move beyond this mental rejiging of Nigerians and see through with the necessary changes to national life.

Kukutente23:

Keep quiet
Even some APC members were against it.

Did you disprove his claim that even opposition lawmakers voted in favour of this return to the old anthem?

twosquare:





The first day they mentioned changing the national anthem...I saw a symbolism...but many people now saying is that what is next can't see it.

That's when I know Nigerians that desire change and clamouring for restructuring of the country are not even wise... mumu plenty for Nairaland and beyond.

Always following bandwagon thoughts...decode hidden messages to the acts of the rulers of this present world...nadah....

mumu people.

Your thought is deep.

Create the atmosphere and slowly tear away the new ways that did not make Nigeria any better, in favour of the old ways.

Sweetphronesis:
This president has successfully passed every single thing he planned on passing.

With speed too.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing.
He's brave though.

Even his political adversaries and enemies know the man is brave.
