Na only north dey get disaster?

This is why we should have free and fair elections.

Governors will be on their toes.

We are now seeing projects in overdrive in Lagos , Abia and co.

The FG has now released money for Siemens for electricity after 7 years.

Osinbanjo is now working on the economy and Buhari security.

It shouldn't be only towards elections. Give us free elections and always keep these people on their toes.

stories that touch

I don't have to read this PDP sponsored nonsense pushed hurriedly to the front page to know that there is nothing said that makes sense,

I predict it will be grammar and then down-playing the candidate of Obi and tactically Begging him to come back to PDP.

I would not expect armed elements to be dressed like this.

And to carry out their activities in a market.

Take this story for face value if you are gullible.

They put an igbo man as the information head to spin stories about the murder of his people.

The two people shown dead above look like the ordinary impoverished young Nigerians going about their daily business.

ESN should kill the campaign of arming against the Nigerian state. It will only bring doom to your region. Focus on protecting your bushes and lands from state enabled terrorists.


Soldiers are arrested and dismissed and will be sent to the gulag for killing a northern cleric. Soldiers are sent to the south to kill innocent southerners for sport.

@Seun why are you resurrecting a 2 year post to incite violence and heat up the polity>

PDP has finally thrown the South away, after holding it together all these years and when the northerners went to APC to enthrone the disaster we have now.

The south are at fault though for not ensuring the presidency was zoned.


I don't see PDP surviving this second crack. If APC had repented from its evil ways and given the South a sane ticket, it would have been a walkover for them.

But alas, it's OBI first place, second option Atiku for one term, before we even think of APC.

Boko Haram and now IPOB ?

Lagosfinder:
Let's hear nairalanders view

One is organic, one is rented.
Guess.

The only thing Wike will get is the replacement of PDP chair.

Is it by that one?

People rewrite waec even in their final year to make up for their results if it wasn't good enough.

DOA.

einsteine:
Twh is power x time. It's another unit of energy.

Watts is power. Watts-hour is used for energy consumption.

Okay...So do the maths and let me know how 5000 MW of power generation resolves to the figures quoted above.

SmartPolician:
Waste of time

How many months does he still have in office again?

Even if he has one day, if he violated the laws of the state, he can be impeached.

beardedboy:
Which is it dear wailer; the production capacity didn't change much or its GEJ that started the projects?

You fool ... How old are you to know the history of the woeful power supply in Nigeria?

I asked what unit is Twh, if you don't know the answer, why are you in my mentions?

Is it PMB that started the projects?

Is it not the same about 3000MW generation we have been lingering on since Johnathan?

Some numb southerners are busy supporting Atiku, he is busy promising northerners positions for when he wins. Buhari 2.0. Nepotism and backwardness loading.

These people are setting up the plan for the next Fulani president to implement RUGA since Buhari tried and failed due to state governors being in control of their land by law.

If una like, vote in Atiku. Una go hear am.

Something is cooking. Newer PDP �

I saw this all over the internet concerning largest Nigerian Tribes.


Truth be told, Igbos are not larger than Ijaws in population.
You see Ijaw everyday but they dont carry it on their heads �. Reason Ijaw controls the whole Niger Delta the way they like and all Niger Delta groups cry � out saying Ijaw marginalize them and lord it over them.
Only Cross river state have over 15 tribes Akwa-Ibom have 5.
Where Ijaw occupy in the Niger Delta is as big as Igboland.
Ijaws are in more than six states and all Ijaw areas share perfect boundaries with each other but were unjustly balkanized into more than six states.


8 Largest Ethnic Groups In Nigeria


Nigeria has been referred to as "The Giant of Africa," due to the large population and distinct economic achievements in comparison to countries that surround this land. Nigeria is found in West Africa and borders Benin, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger. Nigeria is a fascinating country; in the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, there are over 500 ethnic groups and over 500 languages spoken! Explore the eight largest ethnic groups in Nigeria below:

Hausa

The Hausa are the biggest ethnic group in Nigeria. With estimates of their population reaching 67 million, Hausa make up approximately 25% of the Nigerian population. The Hausa culture is homogenized, meaning, throughout Nigeria, the Hausa culture is extremely similar. Hausa are known for raising cattle and other stock, growing crops and trading. Hausa are also recognized for practicing Islam as their main religion. Being the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, Hausa have always been some of the main players in Nigerian politics since Nigeria was granted independence from Britain in 1960.


Yoruba

Individuals who designate themselves as Yoruba make up approximately 19% of the population of Nigeria, making them the second biggest ethnic group in the country. Yoruba are usually identified as Christian or Muslim, although a lot of Yoruba still uphold traditional aspects of their ancestors' religious practices and beliefs. This ethnic group upholds many cultural traditions, including music and culture festivals, traditional Yoruba art, and conventional architecture. The Yoruba culture has historically relied on large populations in a centralized location and an Oba (King).

Igbo

The Igbo people of Nigeria make up approximately 17% of the population. They have long been opposed to Sharia law in Nigeria, with most Igbo identifying as Christian. Igbo society, unlike the Hausa and Yoruba, is non-hierarchical and not reliant on a centralized society. The Igbo are an essential part of the oil trade in Nigeria's southeastern region. In 1967, Igbo fought with the Nigerian government to achieve independence. This was a two and a half year battle in which Igbo people were subjected to brutal conditions, many starving to death during this time. Since this war, Igbo have been reintegrated into Nigerian society; a lot Igbo still feel marginalized by the status quo in Nigeria.


Ijaw

The Ijaw live in the Niger River Delta area of Nigeria and constitute around 14% of the population of the country. The Ijaw have historically had tensions with the rest of the Nigerian population. The lands in which the Ijaw inhabit are extremely oil-rich. This is bittersweet for the Ijaw people, as oil exploration has subjected their land to ecological vulnerability. Mismanagement of these oil revenues has kept a substantial amount of the wealth from returning to the Ijaw community. Goodluck Jonathon, the Prime Minister of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015 identifies as an Ijaw, and his election to the highest office in Nigeria was a proud moment for Ijaw people.

Kanuri

The Kanuri people are found in northeastern Nigeria. Their population is believed to be around 4% of Nigeria (approximately 4,000,000). The regions in which Kanuri live are largely impractical for outsiders to reach. Kanuri people are predominately Sunni Muslims. Boko Haram, an Islamist insurgent group in the North of Nigeria, are mostly of Kanuri descent. This group seeks to express many of the Kanuri grievances towards the Nigerian government. Although the Kanuri culture is rich with tradition, Boko Haram are using their lands as a base for operations, and innocent Kanuri people have been subjected to violence and Sharia law.


Fulani

Since the Fulani War (1804-1808), the Fulani people have been intertwined with the Hausa of Nigeria. This is largely due to intermarriage and Fulani living among the Hausa population. Fulani and Hausa together make up approximately 29% of the population of Nigeria. Fulani adopted Islam early, and a large section of the Fulani people are recognized as excellent Islamic clerics. Along with the Hausa, Fulani people have also been a dominant presence in the sphere of Nigerian politics since independence in 1960.

Ibibio

The Ibibio, mostly found in southeastern Nigeria, have a rich oral history passed down through generations. These people have lived in this part of Nigeria for several hundred years. This ethnic group numbers approximately 4.5 million which is equivalent to 3.5% of the population of Nigeria. Ibibio people in the region also inquired (with the British Crown) to become their own sovereign nation within Nigeria (pre-independence). Today, Ibibio predominantly identify themselves as Christian. Ibibio has an amazing artistic culture, most known for creating intricate wooden masks and carvings.

Tiv

The ethnic group known as Tiv are well known for their agricultural produce and the trading of this produce. This is one of the only sources of income for the group. The Tiv people all trace their ancestry back to an ancient individual also named Tiv, who had two sons. Some Tiv people identify as Christians, even less as Muslim. The traditional religion of Tiv, based on manipulations of forces by humans who have been entrusted by a creator God, remains strong within the Tiv populace. Tiv only make up 3.5% of the Nigerian population, making them one of the smaller ethnic groups within the country.

Other Ethnic Groups In Nigeria

The remaining ethnic groups in Nigeria make up 12% of the Nigerian population. These groups include Ebira, Edo, Gwari, Jukun, and Igala, to name a few. The middle belt of Nigeria is well known for its diversity, with many of these remaining groups living in this part of the country. Although Nigeria is rich in her diverse ethnicity, many of these groups mentioned above live segregated from others. Most ethnic groups in Nigeria have formed illegal vigilante or militia groups, protecting their interests from other groups within the country.

Largest Ethnic Groups In Nigeria

Rank Ethnic Group Share of Nigerian Population
1 Hausa 25.1%
2 Yoruba 19.0%
3 Igbo 17%
4 Ijaw 14.0%
5 Kanuri 4.0%
6 Fulani 3.9%
7 Ibibio 3.5%

With this your analysis, the North and the South, who then has more population?

One day the truth will be out. And those projecting numbers and enthroning bad governance will be put to shame.

Collect that Lagos money and put on a show Obidiently .

When the time comes, still vote for your future.


Win both ways.

Boko Haram commander, Alhaji Modu, 27 others killed in Borno



https://dailypost.ng/2022/08/08/boko-haram-commander-alhaji-modu-27-others-killed-in-borno/

Senate dey para...we go hear more of this kind news. Whether true or false, na dem sabi. Make dem dey play with lives. Their time is up.

The demons are trying to justify ferrying our common wealth to another country after taking loans and looting.

Commiting what is tantamount to high treason against their own country.

Jonathan's railway plan had tracks that went into Benin, Niger and Cameroon. It did not mean we were going to fund it. Our finding stopped at the border. That is the right thing to do.

The projects benefits both countries and they have to do their own part or come up with a plan to repay costs.


I blame the National Assembly. There is a reason why the constitution makes it for presidents to go and present their budget.

To prevent reckless and self servicing acts like this. But the rubber stamp Senate is just there approving loans to be squandered. ECA funds squandered, Abacus loot relooted. Crippling debt. You people should get ready. It things continue like this, 2025 is pregnant.

Gag myself and vomit then drink milk and palm oil while running to the hospital. I doubt there is hope with Nigerian hospital though.

seunmsg:
Who is stopping other regions from developing their own ports?

Were you born yesterday?

Let other regions have these developments. Don't complain of overcrowding tomorrow oh.

Take it to court simple.

PDP don mobilize Tonye. Sorry. You had a chance to have this Messiah and you lost out.

The disdain for the East and the disdain for Christians will cost Tinubu 2023.

I saw him winning otherwise.
