The truth always comes out, this is an attack on the Oduduwa nation, religion is just an instrument to be used to divide the SW

“We said it time without number that all the noise about ‘Oduduwa nation’ is a façade, a mere deception designed to trick Yoruba Muslims into an irredentist trap that will further push Yoruba Muslims into the abyss of political marginalisation, social segregation and economic impoverisation.

Congrat to APGA, final a move away from the failed APC/PDP combo. Soludo will hopefully bring innovative leadership to the SE.

laudate:
This is a list of people who worked at Osibona's construction site. Can't you see Muslim names among them? So why is Prof Kperogi spreading false claims?

They are Yunusa Abubakar, Ajiboye Habib, and Ndajor Ahmed. One of the ladies that died on the construction site was a youth corper called Zainab Sanni. Wasn't she a Muslim? So what is Prof Kperogi talking about?

He is on the payroll to disrupt the peace in the SW. You will think that a professor that is trained to write critical articles based on academic research, citation and analysis would have researched the diversity of employees working in Femi Osibona doomed company before he came up with this nonsense article.

His intention is clear and precise, to create chaos among the Yoruba people, a divided people are easily subjugated.

Guestlander:
Very stupid write up! What about the Muslims who died in the tragedy? Were they not Yoruba or Muslim enough?
This kperogi fellow is not to be taken seriously. We don't roll like that in Yorubaland and we will never roll like that.
This is one thing we have going for us, from which the rest of the world can learn from. We will resist whoever wants to bring religious bigotry and fanaticism to Yorubaland.
To all the kperogis and Ishtak Akintolas, you are doomed to fail.

They will not rest until SW become another basket case like Northern Nigeria.

With extremist kidnapping minority and backward sharia law undermining liberal progressive law. They want to transform the SW into the subservient middle belt, such as Kwara and Kogi where the Non-Fulani Muslim majority are subjugated by the Fulani overlord, education becomes an afterthought and poverty and ignorant become prevalent.

Keep your faith in your homes, Nigeria is still a secular democracy.

vedaxcool:
Remember what Bishop Oyedepo did to his own blood sister? Stop trying pretend there aren't bigots who are Christians who do worst things in the name of religion. What you can say is they are a tiny minority who cannot be used to define the generality of Christians who are Yoruba.

Do you think the so-called Bishop Oyedepo and the many fake Christain leaders in the SW represent Yoruba interest? We are not interested in your religious alliance as long as you are a Yoruba you are my brother.

NoSentiment:
By Farooq A. Kperogi


It is Yoruba Muslims who are required to downplay or hide their religious identity in the interest of an overarching Yoruba identity because, over the last few decades, Christianity has been rhetorically constituted in the popular imagination as a core constituent in the construction of Yoruba identity. That’s why prominent Yoruba Muslims almost always have to invoke their connection to Christianity to fit in.

The late Gani Fawehinmi always had a need to show that his wife was a Christian. Bola Ahmed Tinubu has a need to strategically let it be known that his wife isn’t only a Christian but a deacon. House of Representatives Speaker Olufemi Hakeem Gbajabiamila concealed his Muslim identity until he needed the support of the Muslim North to become Speaker. After the fact, his handlers played up the fact that his wife and his mother are Christians.

Prince Bola Ajibola, one of Africa’s finest jurists who happens to be a devout Muslim, doesn’t openly bear Abduljabar, his Muslim name—unlike his father who bore Abdulsalam as his first name—perhaps, not being married to a Christian, it was his only way to reassure his Christian Yoruba brothers and sisters that he is Yoruba. Yet, he is so strong in his Muslim faith that he established the Crescent University, one of Nigeria’s first private Islamic universities, in his hometown of Abeokuta.

I doubt Farooq Kperogi is aware that every Yoruba family have a healthy mix of Muslims and Christians. Hence marriage between Muslims and Christain will always be a common occurrence.

Munamu:
This Prof is only igniting fire where it is not necessary. This write up is one sided and uncalled for. During the hijab saga in kwara, his write up was in support of his religion. Anyone can decide on who works in his organization based on what should be the yardstick. Bringing religious sentiment is Petty and selfish. He should have been general in his observation rather than limiting himself to Christianity. Afterall things like this common in Northern Nigeria where Christian's are in the minority.

Chief, this is not the first time he has directed his attack against SW political and social, one of his past recent articles was about the secret financial funder of Boko Haram and he was implying that SW political elites might be involved.

The subject was supposed to be about the corruption within the Yoruba elite that supported Femi Osibona how it turned into the division between Yoruba Muslims vs Christain is beyond me. There is no doubt that Farooq and his backers have ulterior motives.

Ijawboy:
Lately I have been scouting for a 2 bedroom apartment in Ibadan for residential use.
See what a greedy Real Estate Agent charged me for a 2 bedroom apartment in Oluyole estate, here in Ibadan:

Rent - N700,000
Agency fee @ 20% = N140,000
Legal fee @ 10% = N70,000
Caution deposit =N70,000

Just imagine being asked to pay N980,000 due to sheer greed of this Estate agents in collusion with greedy landlords☹️

Unfortunately, this is the norm out here as other agents I spoke to were not any different.

Kindly share your experience with Ibadan Real Estate agents or even their greedy colleagues in other states and how you handled them.

Blame the state government, they should regulate the housing rental landscape.

Even in churches if you're tired you can sit while praying.

How do you expect anyone to under that rubbish you just posted!

Take it to the Lord Jehovah God in prayer and may He direct your path. My humble submission.

Bloody nonsense response.

Nigerians and their extreme religion

Ynix:
What Nigeria need at the moment is not Infrastructural development instead it is human development

Well said.

Without human development, the infrastructures will be wasted. Awolowo focus on universal education and primary healthcare in the 1950s by the 1980s Western Nigeria had a literacy rate of 85% and an environment suitable for investment and development.

Sammy07:
Since the govt can't help fix everything, its logical to privatize some things.

Or some private sector intervenes

Why not list the company on the public stock market, that will provide transparency.

The owner of the property must be highly connected in government.Hence the cover up conspiracy have started.

His brother is Osinbajo SA

Is an airport economically viable for Ebonyi now?That fund should have been channelled into setting up industries..

The government should focus on building enabling environments by building airport, roads, schools, hospital security, clean water.

Another Assumption Expert

Linda Ikejis blog

It can be recalled that Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu on October 21, 2021 promised that his administration will curb building collapse incidents in the state with the inauguration of the Certificate of Completion and Fitness for Habitation by the Lagos State Building Control Agency.

Viltron:
Whenever I see these high-rise buildings in Nigeria, I'm usually afraid, because of the ineptitude of Nigerians.

We haven't been able to successfully handled anything in this country. Most of these buildings are deathtraps.

In other countries, you'd find buildings that were built hundred of years ago and are still standing..

fkj950ax:
Assumption and generalization are the lowest form of objective discourse.

Less than 0.5% of high rise buildings in Nigeria have collapsed. There are buildings in Nigeria built years ago still standing.

Even in developed countries, high rise collapses. This is a report of a building that collapsed in 2021 in Florida, USA.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57592827

Don't throw the baby and the bath water away. One collapse in Ikoyi cannot represent the whole of Nigeria.

Here we go again with Whataboutism.

This is supposed to be a so-called highbrow part of Lagos, yet there are no building standards, because they are failing in Europe and USA , we should also fail in Nigeria.

I don't know about Nigeria, but the building standards in Lagos is appalling and that can be linked directly to Tinubu and his governors.

SadiqBabaSani:
Nonsense Man

Can you imagine the nonsense he said

Mr AbdulRazaq argued that legislation enforcing the ban could not be adopted, explaining that open grazing is a constitutional right enshrined in the constitution.

Well the South have banned open grazing and the problem has been transferred to Kwara, if he wants to remove the Fulani's he should also ban open grazing and they will move not ASO rock

Pierocash:
Reno fail to understand that the E-Naira is not Crypto currency, it is just digital ,but not a crypto. So they don't serve same purpose.

eNaira is a digital currency that uses blockchain technology, just like other cryptocurrencies, I think that eNaira uses Ethrerum or Solana platform

Bitt has built its DCMS to integrate with leading blockchain networks.

Power is returning to PDP in 2023

Nigerians really suffered in this APC government

If you continue to support lazy politicians that can only regret when they make a critical mistake, then Nigeria is in trouble.

Only a useless coach like Rohr will still consider the liker of Ighalo and Musa suitable for SE at the expense of Moffet, Oshimen, Awoniyi, Nacho, Iwobi, Paul Onuachu, Emmanuel Bonaventure, Moses Simon, Peter Olayinka, Chidera Ejuke and Umar Sadiq

RenaissanceGuy:
This so-called People's Gazette is trying to be popular or become Sahara Reporters overnight by always looking for errors and mistakes in govt or very popular people. They should calm down.
BTW, this is not plagiarism. Almost every disclaimer or privacy policy has almost 90% similarity.

Dummy, "looking for errors and mistakes in govt or very popular people." is called brilliant journalism.

Tomahawk99:
You have evidence to back up your claims apart from this quote from a bitter lawyer.
Just because you spent 10 years in school no mean say everyone must go through same.
Take your case to court if you are so sure. Talking about cheating, am sure you have cheated in this lifetime too. Don't judge a man just because his SIN is different from your own SIN.
My initial comment was to about the importance of learning and how learning never stops in our lifetime, not about the character or background of the individuals involved.

At no time did I question the relevance of learning but in what context were the said senators learning.

There must always be an outcome from what you learn, but cheating the system under the context that you are now a learned individual with letters to your name is corruption.

OBUKOMENA:
Good evening nairalanders! I hope you had a good day?

So, let me just go straight to my reason for opening this thread, and I hope I would be able to convey my thoughts impeccably:

It seems like some of our people who travelled to Germany aren't doing so well after all (I stand to be corrected, though!)
I have a friend over there whom I am preparing to go meet. This guy has been there since 2017. He hardly calls me on normal call. He would rather call on WhatsApp. Reason being so that he could get in touch cheaply. The first and only time I asked him to send me something, he told me pointblank he didn't have.
Just this afternoon, I heard a colleague's father just came back to Nigeria from there after 21 solid years! He had abandoned his wife and children here in Nigeria. If he was doing so well over there, would he not have arranged for his family to come over and stay with him - at least?

I have been worried, even before I heard this colleague's father thing: I don't know what I am going to meet at the friend's place; I don't know what life is like over there - how to cope in a non-English speaking environment. I don't know how long it's going to take me to make it over there and reconnect with my family. This news about my colleague's dad also increased my worries.

So, I decided I would come on here to ask: Aren't these red flags as regards traveling over there, especially with the hope that when i get there, after 2-3 years, I would bring in my family.
Anyone here knows about life in Germany?

It took me the best part of 2 years to settle down in the UK and I already had a British passport, a university degree from (UI ) and spoke English. You can't be an overnight success in another country it takes hard work and sacrifice.

endsarrrs:
Not the whole North is quite about such terrorist act. Many Northern groups and individual have come out to always speak and condemn all this acts.

Be guided!

They should come out and protest like the ENDSARS movement or during occupy Nigeria in 2012. Until Northern Nigerians hold their governments to account these killings will continue.

jaeyking:
Damn that tin is bad fa.
Try sitz baths.
Put salt much in warm water and sit on it.
Take diclofenac potassium for the pains

Make sure u avoid starchy foods.
For now u suppose be vegetarian.

Herbal drugs have been effective.
Let me wait for the elders

Actually it's the lack of fibre in his diet that results in pile.

Tomahawk99:
Respect their choice simple.

Their choice to cheat

See Ifeanyin Uba, Dino and Osita Chidoka in the Law class of the Baze University. They all graduated this Weekend. Chidoka chop 2:1. Ifeanyin Uba chop 2:2 and Dino 2:2.

Let us see what they will chop in the proper Law School.

APC IMO NEC Legal Adviser, Barrister Uzukwu Patrick Eze cried bitterly, he wrote angrily :

The Council of Legal Education that regulates the training of lawyer's in Nigeria must investigate the nonsense going on in the Faculty of law of some private Universities in Nigeria.

The award of law degrees to Senator Dino Melaye and Senator Ifeanyi Ubah by BAZE UNIVERSITY is a disgrace and must be thoroughly investigated.

Dino purportedly gained admission into BAZE University in 2019.

Every public and private University were shut down the whole of 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Council of legal education require a law student to spend a minimum of4- 5 years in the University before you acquire a law degree.

On what planet will someone acquire a law degree after spending less than one year of studies in school except in Nigeria and at BAZE University.

To the best of my knowledge Senator Ifeanyi Ubah didn't attend a formal secondary school.

He spent his secondary school time in Gabon as a trader.

Now he's a law graduate with Second Class upper.

This is utterly despicable.

When did we descend this low.

Can you become a medical doctor after one year of University education?

If the medical colleges will not graduate a student in one year why should the council of legal education allow this nonsense to happen

omowolewa:
The problem is that out Sharing formular promotes Equality over Productivity all system were designed towards that.

If not North West should be agitating for Industrization and not shares of common wealth

The narrative must be changed from sharing to producing then you will see the North-West producing dairy products, meat and gold instead of waiting for handouts

Tomahawk99:
Every human deserve respect, it's called dignity. Someone made a personal choice and you're mad about it?

Respect is earned, they lack respect due to their incompetence and corruption and it seems like you are one of their paid agents.

Tomahawk99:
Respect their choice simple.

They are public elected politicians, that have done a useless job in NASS. there is nothing to respect

Tomahawk99:
Learning never ends. Learning is not only about degrees and certificates.

I not questioning the purpose of learning but it is relevant and timing.

Senior Senators going back to academic undergraduate university at this stage in their career, beggars belief, are they saying that they lacked the academic qualifications to be in the job in the first place. I will be more impressed if they were involved in short term professional training and development

Nigerians place too much emphasis on academic qualification at the expense of professional training
