Noisemaking reloading!

bestdudes:
I like the way they are going about it to be candid. I just hope that this is not another move to garner supports and sell out after a while... it will be too costly

You are so proud in your ignorance. Why?

KGD10:
What nonsense! Ironsi truncated our only true federalism! Zik was the one who was going on merriment with the North at the detriment of the whole South! That's the fact! Abegi!

Stop comparing US system with Nigeria just to deodorize criminality. I live in the United States and have been voting in election, what happened on SaturdayFeb 25, 2023 can never happen in USA.

Second, are you Yoruba?

UncommonLogic:
The system is flawed because you lost. You are barking down the wrong tree.
Even the US system is not perfect after more than 200 years of trying. We have many losers in the US right now claiming that they won. Trump is their leader.

Igbo hatredwill destroy you as it destroyed Awo's lifetime ambition to rule Nigeria and Adekunle's life.

spearman:
A man who came 3rd in an election is inciting followers to stand behind his “mandate”. What should the man who came 2nd then do? It never takes long for a fake leader to unravel.

I thought you folks respect your elders and only Igbos insult their elders?

IpobAntidote:
Idiotic fool.

This vindictive old hag will have an heart attack once Tinubu is declared the winner. Useless old fool.

Why are you seeking half measures? Just demand for Yoruba independence from Nigeria so that any non-Yoruba in Oduduwa Republic will know outright that he's a foreigner and not entitled to full rights like Yoruba citizens. As long as we remain "One Nigeria" , which Yorubas fought for and killed Igbos in the Biafra War, your desires are figment of imagination of a demented soul.

Yamiriflathead:

Although disappointing
Tinubu tried to hold Lagos with the figures he pulled so far. Lagos is the Capital of Southern Nigeria, so what were you expecting?
This was a fight between ibos+SS+woke yorubas against Tinubu supporters in Lagos who are mainly yorubas and maybe Hausas in Lagos.

I hope Tinubu and yorubas have learnt a bitter lesson from Lagos Elections not to befriend and feed a cub because it is homeless, hopeless, and dying. It will grow up and eat u up someday.

I'm happy yorubas can now sit down and ask qtns as to how they got everything wrong and redress it with BAT as President.

The take home from this defeat is..

Yorubas need to stop drafting non yorubas into the civil service and stop giving them prominent appointments. There are always technocrats who can always fit into any political office from the SW

Yorubas need to stop selling their lands to non yorubas in Lagos and SW

Yorubas need to stop giving out local government of origins to non yorubas in Lagos

Yorubas need to stop allowing non-yorubas contest for Elections in Lagos or SW

Yorubas need limit the numbers of voters registration of non yorubas going on in Lagos, they care so much about Lagos and don't care if their homes rot, Henceforth let them go home and vote. They can't come and dictate to you on how to govern urselves after creating an enabling environment for them to thrive.

Contain them politically, Period!

Congratulations to the incoming President of Nigeria BAT the ASIWAJU of Lagos for winning the most Free and fair Elections since our Nascent Democracy nothwitstanding

ABSOLUTELY! IGBOS WERE RIGJT.

Zuha:
I am not Igbo. I had to start like this before the very heavy tribalism in Nairaland creeps into this thread and attack me for what I am about to say.

I have been looking at the various events in Nigeria from the year of independence till today and it got me thinking. In the 60s when there was violence in the North with killings of southerners (mainly Igbos), the government of the day had the same attitude as GEJ's government today. In Nairaland and all across Nigeria, the echoes of break-up has been growing louder by the day.

My question hence is: Were the Igbos right in attempting to break up in the 60s? Are we all late risers by waiting more than 40years after the events in the 60s to realise that this unfortunate political experiment concorted by the British (and named by the girlfriend of a British Governor General over a cup of tea) called Nigeria, has been a farce ab initio?

SO TRUE!

ZombieSlayer1:
If this crime was committed by an Igbo man, this FP would've been filled with insults attacking the entire Igbo race.

A particular tribe has shown themselves to be the most tribalistic in this country but unfortunately for them, there are more than 200 other ethnic groups in this country and all of them are watching and learning

So you believe this crime is the reason why Nigeria's image is bad?

SmartPolician:
If you are a Nigerian living somewhere in Europe, North America or Australia reading this, you have no business getting into crime. For Nigerians relocating to other African countries, South America and Asia, I have yet to see the justification for choosing those parts of the world.

Wherever you are, I challenge all of you. Stop performing your life and start living. You don't owe anyone to impress them. You guys should stop giving Nigéria bad image abroad. This shame is becoming unbearable. You guys are destroying the Nigerian passport! You people shouldn't add to our woes; we are trying hard to deal with our corrupt politicians and their SENSELESS supporters from within.

"On paper at that time, Yoruba dont even need Nigeria , is there any region that is better than Yoruba?"

So why did he fight for the sustenance of One Nigeria since on paper at that time, Yoruba didn't even need Nigeria.

Akolawole:
@Ababoy1
I see
I have seen the undertones in your write-up.

You a very good friend, you knew how many times i have been labelled a tribalist e.g

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7389.0.html

For your sake, this is my view;

Awolowo is a great leader, his thinking faculty towers above his peers. He is NOT a tribalist but he tried to showcase his God given wisdom in Yorbaland before marketing himselfin federal.

I have read all his books and have been previledge to be at Mapo during his campaign, i beg you need to hear him speak.

If he is a tribalist, why did he stop Biafra?.He would have been in Ibadan refocusing Yourbaland.

On paper at that time, Yoruba dont even need Nigeria , is there any region that is better than Yoruba?

He got to the federal house, all his contributions to the development of Nigeria is second to none.

Quotes

OJUKWU : The best president Nigeria never had.

IBB: He is the main issue in Nigeria politics, you are either for or against him.

It is fundamentally wrong to compare India and Nigeria. It is a case of FALSE COMPARISON. I ca. Explain if you open to learning.

N3TRAL:
An elite actress? Yes

My childhood crush? Yes

A deep thinker? No

I've always compared India to Nigeria although Indians are more disciplined than Nigerians.

Visit all the firms in a random boulevard at Silicon Valley, 8 out of 10 will be managed by Indians. Most heads of Fortune 500 companies are Indians. They dominate medical practice in many Western Countries. India's generation Z outperform Western students in STEM courses in IVY leagues.

An Indian is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and many Indians have prominent roles in US, UK and Canadian governments.

Visit Mumbai in India and all you see is a "dirtier Lagos" . The bulk of Indians live in poverty and cannot afford the basic necessities of life. Those in rural communities in India have it worse.

It isn't political corruption. India's Prime minister, Narendra Modi has no child. He is a divorcee for decades with only books and writings to his name. When he dies, he will be cremated and his ashes may be thrown into water. Atal Vajpayee had no biological child too. So the argument of stolen resources cannot be logically raised.

Like Nigeria, India is still buried in religious superstition.
Like Nigeria, India has a worse tribalistic and caste system.
Like Nigeria, half of India has not been penetrated by rational thinking.
Like Nigeria, the part of India near Pakistan is home to some of the most vicious islamists on the planet.

The best we can have are people with a Messiah complex who build cult followings during election periods in Nigeria. The very fact that millions of people believe that a messiah can make this system evolve in a couple of years is the very proof that we're still far from that Utopian society we envisage.

Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Belgium and UAE are heavens on Earth. However, they are not as powerful nor do they have more USD billionaires than India combined.

The richest black men in the Planet can only be Nigerians.

Nigeria is the India of Africa. Nigerians will always excel at home and abroad.

If you love yourself as a Nigerian , work diligently for a better life and you will lift your name, your family and Nigeria wherever you find yourself. That's what the intelligent Indians do. That's what the few intelligent Nigerians do.

We will only experience a beautiful environment with an amazing system when the bulk of Nigerians have more developed patterns of thinking than the early men.

There is OCEAN-SIZE difference between mental illness/racist-induxed violence and NIGERIAN TERRORISM. The former is instantly arrested while the latter go scot-free to strike again. What is your ethnic nationality?

BeanX:
American violence is worst than anything, someone can just go to a public place and start shooting people.

And the mad shooter will be arrested immeidately. Please what is your ethnic nationality?

nigeriancritic1:
But she can be shot by any mad shooter while she went shopping. Or her kids school by any disgruntled student whose parents have a gun.

That is even increasing. Wherever a man will live, his feet will take him there.

Totally agree with tou. So why is Tinubu against restructuring that would make Lagos become Dubai.

Ritchiee:
Olodo.There are quite a lot of things a state cannot do except in partnership with the FG.
A state cannot even take a foreign loan except with the volition of the FG so also is a free trade zone.
What Tinubu did was to think and do with the help of the FG.Yes,with a lot of push and push..
If it were not for the bureaucracy of the FG,Lagos would have been another Dubai with the midas touch of Tinubu and his team.
Tinubu is a genius.

Is that all you know about IGBO MARGIBALIZATION?

babasolution:
The cry of marginalisation is dead and buried for the Igbo without total support for Peter obi,if Peter obi doesn't atleast win 4 of the 5 Igbo states then it shows the Igbos abandoned him,they should never ever again complain of marginalisation anymore, never again

Why don't you join Igbo to fight for Biafra so that qe can testyour HYPOTHESIS.

QuotaSystem:
If Biafra was a real country, many countries especially in Asia would impose visa embargoes on the drug republic for the health and safety of their own citizens.

I am curious. Are youbYoruba?

ATLIEN2027:
As expected the IPOB zombidient terrorists are already blaming Tinubu
Their victimhood slave mentality is on another level. Even when their shit refuses to rise to satisfy their olosho women at the Aba baby factory, they will still blame Tinubu.
Go figure.

Why would Igbos sue Tinubu? Is only Igbos that are wailing that Tinubu is a drug dealer? Is the investigate journalist David Hundeyin that released a report on Tinubu drug-trafficking problem while in USA an gboman? You life is incomplete until you inject Ndigbo in every issue. Ndi Ara!

GeneralPula:
If only igbos are wise, they would have sue tinubu with all their twitter edited images, instead of everyday wailing..

Tinubu is a drug dealer right? Approach the court. Court will sack him and that would help Peter Obi..

Wetin concern Ojukwu?

ItsTutsi:
Ojukwu will be disappointed in this one, this is not what he fought the bia.fraud war for

YOU BE BIG OLODO RABATA!

JaffyJoe:
What do you mean what they discussed isn't his business? That stupid action by Zik led us to where we are today. He had a lot of influence at that time as the Igbos were in a lot of strategic and dominant positions. Refusing to assent to the inclusion of the secession clause is not a historical reality you can wish away. He simply thought his people would continue to be relevant in the scheme of things. He was a man that lacked foresight.

Nigeria has high unemployment and under-employment rate. The informal economy is the biggest employer of labor and includes street hawkers like the gala sellers you denigrated. Is it better to be self-employed with prospect to expand and diversify into structured business with employees or become an agbero or criminal. There is dignity in labor. That's why the average Igbo is the most economically empowered Nigerian. Igbo-hatred will kill you. Keep HATING while they progress.

lhordspy:
, My belle oo

No wonder we have lot of youth from the state today; selling gala in Lagos traffic or white-powder in India.


Anyways, Ondo is truly Batified.

U see why we want to live this zoo called Nigeria.

owobokiri:
At a point during the Lagos Ports congestion crises months back (before nairas free fall), it will take you almost 2 million naira to transport your 40ft container from Lagos State to Anambra State! That was almost the same amount it will take you to ferry the same container from China to Nigeria! There was no single government attempt to help! Traders bore the brunt without much ado, even as the federal government blamed them for all the evils in the country as if there is any any manufacturing alternatives in the first place. It has now become the favorite pastime of those in government at Abuja to rail against importers as if they're the cause of all Nigerias problems, when importers are only trying to eke out a living by filling a void created by government incompetence.

Yet, these are the people who pay the import duties that are shared every month end to the different States of the federation while providing basic goods that government failed policies have made impossible to be produced hetr. Buhari who's administration depends almost totally on these duties to stay afloat, was busy spending billions on RUGA for fulani herders from different parts of West Africa, who pay no single tax and are responsible for massive capital flight as they truck the dollars they made from their sales here to Niger, Chad, Mali, Guinea and Mauritania at Nigerias expense! Can anyone mention one single federal government project targeted at improving the work of Eastern traders since the inception of this country? Just one!

Q#1: How did you arrive at 75% of their able-bodied men?

Q#2: What is the Igbo population and population of the able-bodied that enabled you arrive at the 75% that are languishing in prison across Asia and Europe for cocaine trafficking.

Q#3: Ojukwu of cursed memory? Cursed memory to whom - Ndi-Igbo, Ndi-Yoruba or Ndi-Hausa/Fulani?

Q#4: When did average Igbo become a terrorist (Let me agree with you that we are cocaine traffickers)?

Q#5: Why did you resort to attacking the entire Igbo ethnic group when the commentator only attacked Tinubu - and not the entire Yoruba?

Q#6: Why did you assume - how did you determine - that the fellow is Igbo?

LegendHero:
Coming from Iyanmili tribe man, a tribe where almost 75% of their able-bodied men are languishing in prison across Asia and Europe for Cocaine trafficking.

Even Ojuku of cursed memory will be ashamed of what his people have become. Chronic drug traffickers and terrorists.

You must be undeployed or underemployed!

lhordspy:
Southern Unity died the day the South-East start getting jealous of the educated and political successful South-westerners and the Oil rich South-southerners.

One thing about this life is that. If you feel like a loser, refusing to admit there are levels in life. You will always be a losers. The south-Easterners started their campaign of division by becoming envious of the south-west and Northerners political alliances. They called the Yorubas lot of disgusting names. Like the Northern-slaves, afonja, Fulani puppet.

But guess what... Those smart alliances that the yorubas has smartly kept going since far back as 1960 will now be playing to their favour in 2023. Something the divided South-Easterners wish for now. Something they will never ever have.

Did the Yoruba get the memo when they aligned with the North to defeat Jonathan. It is the Yoruba who sold their birthright for Emi lo kan's ambition that will cry if Atiku come to power. The Igbos are already down and fear no fall.

babasolution:
Buhari the Fulani, had 12,million northern mainly from the core Fulani controlled Hausa regions votes that he ran with consistently.

Despite his failures they stuck with him,when he now found the political trick to win by aligning with the southwest he eventually won and became the president.

In the past 7 years buhari has indeed paid the northern Fulani controlled region for their support.

Billions were given them for supposed " cattle ranching" ( no one talks about this).

NEDC the north east development commission was created and being funded by billions every year to take care of people who don't contribute to the national treasure in any way instead have cost Nigeria billions through the bokoharam insurgency,depriving other regions of needed funds.

He has placed Fulani people in all federal agencies and the control juicy sums and contracts.

He has found oil for them in gombe.

He has given the peasant herder Fulani free reign to take over any land of their choice by killing indigenous peoples with military cover.

Any one that says the north hasn't benefitted from their Fulani reign are jokers.

Now that it's time for the south to emerge having been patient all these while despite their deliberate impoverishment from the Center.

The PDP brought in another Fulani to give them more power to consolidate and benefit further.

The southerners there are giving all sorts of lame excuses thinking they are fooling us.Infact many of them supporting this Fulani to Fulani transition will not benefit.Once Atiku enters many of them will be replaced by a Fulani for appointments.

The southerners are making a cost political suicide by supporting a Fulani to Fulani transition.

This election should have been between two southerners.

Now even with Peter obi's emergence his people are generally not supporting him ,they are doing their best to kill his campaign expecting Atiku to reward them or waiting for after 8years which they aren't even sure they would be alive to witness.

Instead of them to rally round their brother,they are foolishly expecting a Fulani to favor them.

Look a Fulani to Fulani transition will be the greatest regret of southern Nigeria no matter how you see it.From any point of view southerners will regret allowing a Fulani to Fulani transition. It will cost them dearly.

It election is the turn of the south,any were in the south.It's not a Yoruba Igbo rivalry thing.

If the south cannot put their MAN as president come 2023.

They will be making a bitter costly mistake that will affect them and generations to come.
It's certain there no middle ground here.

The Igbo who think they can survive under a type of government will get a huge shocker eventually.

The Yoruba who think they can survive with Lagos will be shocked.

The nigerdelta who think they have oil will be surprised.

The Fulani aren't playing,they are not jokers.

The south hasn't gotten the memo yet.

Why do you lie on social media? Anambra education under obi was the best and unmatched by any other state -- including Tinubu's Lagos State

buckeyemedia:
How could he have fixed the country, governance is a continuous, you think everyone is like that mumu that will be claiming he saved money, when primary & secondary schools do not have the essentials?

If Obi cannot turn Nigeria into Europe and America, it Atiku whose party ruled Nigeria for the first 16 years of 4th Republic? And who told you we are looking for someone that we turn Nigeria to Europe and America in 8 years? Totally agree with that we need to send APC. However, we are not replacing APC with PDP. Your party doesn't deserve a second chance for misusing the maiden chance of 1999.

lereinter:
By now most has made up his/her mind about who he/she wants to vote for

For me interview will change little minds

Remember the unprecedented hardship apc brought upon this country in the last 7 years

LP people, you are only working for the emergence of tinubu by voting obi, Lp has not gotten the reach for now, obi can not turn nigeria to Europe or America in even 16yrs
Set aside your ethnic and religious sentiments and let's collectively send apc away


Vote PDP
Vote AtikuOkowa

Very daft arguements they parrot here!

effort1:
Has Tinubu United Sunni and Shiite Muslims? Can you now see that you are very stupid with your comparison?

See how you ignored the subject matter and pivoted to a irrelevant issue that gives your weak manhood the stiffest erection? And see the asinine argument you are advancing to justify the unjustifiable.

Can Tinubu's behavior happen in United States were we aged their presidential system of government?

buckeyemedia:
Very funny racoon, You have abandoned Nnamdi Kanu & the Biafra agitation? It is now Peter Obi?

Like I told you back then that you were wasting your time on Biafra, and it seems it has now dawned on you, let me reiterate myself again that you are wasting your time on Peter Obi.

U mean the most SOPHISTICATED MORONIC ETHNIC GROUP in Africa who chickened out of declaring their independence and liberation from this "geographical expression" called Nigeria when Biafra was birthed.

When will Yoruba show the world the greatness of Black man by becoming an independent nation?

It's been 55 years now since you missed the opportunity. Time is no longer on your side.

Neddstark:
Me sha I want Biafra to happen.
Igbos can go back to their land.
Obidients Yorubas can join them in Anambra state since they believe in the Pandora criminal so much
Then the most sophisticated tribe in Africa will show the world the greatness of the Black man

Anyone who has a problem with my above statement will be disappointed after the election because their candidate won't win.

Why do you call it load of sheet?

Rossikk:
What a load of bullshiit.

The fools that declared ''Biafra'' with no weapons to fight and no food to feed their people, leading to the death of 2 million + are the real iddiots in all this. New Japan my asssss.

Assholes like Nwokedi and co were all very well fed during the war owing to their 'connections'. The vast majority of Igbos, far from thinking of ''Japan'', were left staring at dry, empty pots, and the hungry, starving eyes of their children.
