SmartPolician: Honestly, I must give some credit to the west (white people) for making blacks their citizens and allowing them hold key government position.
This is something we don't even allow among ourselves here in Nigeria and I know for certain that Asians will never allow. Asian are as wicked as blacks.
See this one.
Britain came here and slaughtered your ancestors, seized and looted your land for a century, to the tune of $50 TRILLION according to AI ChatGPT.
And in your head they are angels while your own people are demons.
I don't know if taribo was being overly dramatic or entitled. But these people have no business depending on aid to organize their funeral after demise because they should have lived at least a decent and comfortable life with what they were exposed to. They are people without half the opportunities these guys had that are doing well... even if not rich but comfortable.
Imagine if I have just 10% of the fame, popularity, exposure (not even talking of the amounts he received during his career for now o) someone like rufia has/had then still solicit funds for my funeral.
I agree not only should I be jailed, but I should be sho. T dead again after dying.
Like I said maybe na taribo just dey over play the matter for his own reasons.
Everything falls back to planning and going easy on the extravagant lifestyle. (Rufia has never struck me as extravagant though) saving something decent especially when you know and understand the kind of country and football FA you have.
Why can you depend on them?
How do we know it wasn’t the family lying that they needed money? Rufai was sick, abi? So who was in charge of his money?
okpouman: My point is the current white people,Europeans etc are descedants of their black ancestors who founded the things and inventions located in their region ,and descendants of the so called ancient black kings of Taiwan,China,Japan etc.
They were not the ancestors of today's African Blacks.
That's the point you guys keep missing.
With this Blacks were everywhere thing.
Those blacks were not today's African blacks ancestors
What are you talking about, this man?
If you don’t understand simple historical migration, use ChatGPT AI.
Stop inventing weird theories in your head.
Africans in other locations and regions are still AFRICANS.
DNA connects them with Africa.
There’s nothing like whites birthing blacks or vice versa.
If you see blacks in ancient societies, they are AFRICAN descendants. QED.
okpouman: This is not about competition or attacks, it's a solution that is being overlooked.
There are secrets still with us in our immediate environment that can be revived if studied ,but we have neglected them for long periods in the pursuit of European materialism( slavery era) and European concepts and traditions ( religion).
Take IFA for example,why is there no comprehensive study of IFA to see the secret it holds which can create new knowledge and inventions from Africans instead of relying solely on European sciences. etc
How do you expect to know what IFA is without caring about the History that LED to Ifa?
You can’t understand or promote IFA if you don’t connect it to Nile Valley civilisation.
People like you need to understand that Africa was not spiritually fragmented prior to European invasion. IFA was part of a Continental spiritual system with roots in East Africa, North East Africa and the Nile Valley.
To understand it fully and appreciate it’s full scope, you must tie it to that Continental spiritual system, and see it as part of a holistic African spirituality.
okpouman: Unless you saying whites are another specie or different form of humans to blacks ,how can you say white just emerged.whatabout Arabs and East Asians .it means they are not human or blacks are not humans.
If you say they mixed with neartherdals to emerge white,it therefore means they still are offspring of their ancestors, while African blacks are not the same people that were in the so called ancient black Europe or Asia.
What is this one talking about?
Whites are an albinoid race or something that emerged after an outbreak of albinism among African settlers in ancient Europe.
There is nothing mysterious about their emergence.
Your concentration is on grand things faraway which you cannot properly tell how and when they were built.
You say blacks were the first and only humans,therefore,the ancestors of the today's whites and asians were still the creators of the great European and asian modern civilisations.It's still the same people,they weren't Africans,somehow the their black ancestors turned white,so it's still the same people probably that invented those things you yap about.
You dismiss as little village masquerades and neglect immediate and real time indications of African know how,while looking towards elusive ancient structures when real time local practices which you can learn from are dismissed.
This is a character flaw that stunts African growth.

DeLaRue: When I read Mr Obi's statement, it was the first time it crossed my mind that Nigeria may struggle to reach the heights of development for a long time.
The day before, I had watched a Nairametrics you tube program hosted by the owner where he compared the level of capital inflow and FDI to previous years and went back up to about 10 or 15 years, and this years capital inflow is the highest for several years.
The way Mr Obi manipulated his own reading of the data to send a twisted message to his followers left me in such shock that I couldn't even monster the energy to comment on the thread.
Any country will struggle to go anywhere with Mr Obi's type of destructive, self-centred, and evil deception.
He doesn't care if he destroys the country. It's all about him, him, and him.
The funny thing is that he doesn't even radiate the knowledge or capacity to lead the country.
Fantastically put.
That guy doesn’t know anything.
I actually suspect strongly that his ambition is to come in as president and create conditions that lead to the dismemberment of the country.
Judolisco: anyone who disagrees with you jst ask them why they are still travelling back to meet the colonial masters abroad..... Even when they say don't come again.... Dem go still cross border risking their lives to enter colonial master country
Very simple answer. That’s YOUR money you are going there to enjoy.
According to AI ChatGPT calculations, Britain looted $50 TRILLION worth of resources from Nigeria. NOT 50 Trillion Naira.
9jatriot: If Peter Obi is not at a burial, he's scouting on Twitter (formerly X) for any bad news about Nigeria. What better news to latch onto than a mischievous headline from Punch stating that FDI had reduced by 70%?
Immediately, without checking the full context or consulting those knowledgeable about basic math, the 'chief mourner of the federation' hurriedly logged onto X to post his sorrowful news, which he titled: "FDI to Nigeria Declines Amidst Unending Global Gallivanting."
Obi typically writes to his unintelligent audience, so this rebuttal may not gain traction with them. This correction is therefore mostly for neutrals who should not be swayed by the negative attitude of someone who wants to rule a nation he reportedly avoids paying taxes to, by hiding money in a tax haven in the name of his children who were likely less than five years old at the time.
Now, back to the topic. The source of this news is likely from a misleading Punch report dated August 9, 2025, with a very broad headline titled "Nigeria’s FDI crashes by 70% in three months."
Please take note of the date because it is very significant. It is significant because the report was written at the end of the second quarter of 2025, yet it starts by comparing the first quarter of 2024 with 2025 because the report realizes that by the second quarter of 2025, the capital inflow has grown tremendously, yet it chose to focus on the starting point when it was just beginning to grow.
This is the very first paragraph of the extract Mr. Obi relied on:
"Foreign Direct Investments into Nigeria dropped sharply by 70.06 per cent quarter-on-quarter to $126.29m in the first quarter of 2025, down from $421.88m recorded in the final quarter of 2024, according to the latest Capital Importation report released by the National Bureau of Statistics."
Now, this is why that report is mischievous. Even though the report was written at the end of the second quarter, it headlines a decline and then uses a comparison of the first quarter of 2024 to compare with 2025.
You may be wondering, "So what, wasn't there really a decline?" The best answer is to point you to various sections of the same report where the reporter admits that there has been an increase in capital inflow in 2025.
The first instance was just two paragraphs below the one Mr. Obi quoted: "On a year-on-year basis, FDI posted a modest growth of 5.97 per cent compared to $119.18m recorded in the same period of 2024."
Immediately below that paragraph is another reluctant acceptance of an increase: "Meanwhile, total capital importation rose to $5.64bn in Q1 2025, an increase from $5.09bn in Q4 2024 and $3.38bn in Q1 2024."
The report then uses the next two paragraphs to try to downplay the importance of the increase.
Further down, it once again agrees there was an increase: "The PUNCH observed that Nigeria saw a 67 per cent increase in total capital inflows in the first quarter of 2025, reaching $5.64bn compared to $3.38bn in the previous quarter."
This one below is the final nail in the coffin for Mr. Obi and his cohorts. The report admits that even though it is only August (eight months into 2025), total capital inflow year-on-year is already more than in all of 2024. This means that even if there is no more inflow for the rest of 2025, we have already surpassed 2024 by 67%.
"Also, despite a 67.12 per cent year-on-year rise in total capital inflows into the country, the manufacturing sector recorded a 32.31 per cent decline in capital importation in Q1 2025."
Yet a presidential candidate cannot even read simple data like this but instead latches onto a dubious headline and proceeds to write on matters that are above his pay grade.
One cannot help but wonder what their 'fourth columnists' aim to gain by twisting existing facts to sell a negative narrative.
Here is how a more business-like newspaper reported that same story.
"Foreign investment into Nigeria soar by 67% to $5.6bn in Q1 2025" with an opening paragraph: "Nigeria, in the first quarter of 2025, recorded a total capital importation of $5.642 billion, which is 67.12 percent higher than the $3.376 billion recorded in Q1 2024 and 10.86 percent higher than the $5. 089 billion recorded in Q4 2024, the National Bureau of Statistics report has revealed." https://businessday.ng/business-economy/article/foreign-investment-into-nigeria-soar-by-67-to-5-6bn-in-q1-2025/
Same data, same sources, same story but twisted differently. One sticks to facts, the other is looking for any straw to hold onto just to confuse its readers.
Once again, Mr. Peter Obi has shown that he does not have the mental capacity to understand many of the statistics he reels out. He seems to just quote them to impress his unintelligent audience. I have heard that he even tried to suggest that Nigeria should copy Argentina in its management of the economy—Argentina, of all countries, with a negative foreign reserve, that should be begging Nigeria for help.
All of this goes to show he does not have the capacity to understand micro and macroeconomics and is perhaps more suited to be a trader, which by the way is not a bad thing, but he should therefore limit his discussions to areas relating to what to wear to burials or how to buy and sell.
Thanks for your brilliant, erudite clarification.
Patriotic Nigerians like you need to keep fact-checking these shameless liars and haters of Nigeria, led by Peter Obi.
The legendary African-American historian, and author of numerous books on Africa's glorious pre-colonial history, Professor Molefi Kete Asante, says ''I don't understand how Africans can be Muslims and Christians. I just don't get it.''
OSUNADC: Dangote has got a white man's thinking faculty and foresight in a black man's skin. I am always marveled at his business trajectory and innovations.
God continue to bless him; God bless me too...
Stop thinking like a colonised person.
You people are just a disgrace in the way you see yourselves vis-a-vis so called “white people”.
The same God created you and them. They are not your superiors.
