The reason why it is a pity that we share the same space called Nigeria with the North is because Yorubas aligned with them to fight against Biafra which would have solved their menace permanently.
Temidayo9: Hishab are tools used by the northern power to continue impoverished her teaming youths, it's a pity we shared the same space called Naija.
grandstar: Many Nigerians literally worship the ground on which Donald Trump walks on. To them, he is the best thing since Jesus Christ! The man can't place a foot wrong.
To me, the man is talking rubbish, absolute rubbish! His tariff policies if fully implemented would not only cause inflation (which Americans hate, and one reason why Kamala Harris lost), but also slow the economy down. The economy could easily enter into a downturn or even a recession.
I have been pilloried on Nairalabd for supporting many of Tinubu's economic reform policies. Many here did not condemn Buhari when he started destroying the economy in 2015 but bark the loudest now that the damage of 8 years of Buhari's economic misrule is being corrected.
I am sounding the alarm now. Don't come here in 2029 and start speaking Welsh. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Fareed Zakaria's expose of what the Trump tariff will do to the US economy is even massaged. 23 Nobel prize economist have rubbished his economic policies and so should you.
This will be a series so be on the lookout for more!
Wetin Ndigbo do una? Can’t you celebrate your success in Nigeria without injecting Ndigbo? Since SW is doing better, can we restructure or better still separate so that SW will enjoy their VAT revenue?
yoruboid: Just imagine states were allowed to collect and control their VAT
Apart from Anambra, which is just about N700m higher, Ekiti has more VAT revenue than all the states in the SE
Mrchippychappy: Banjo was NEVER interested in the Biafran cause, he was a traitor right from the moment he set foot on Biafran Territory, He planned with the British Government and the Federal Government to topple Biafra, He and Ifeajuna were promised federal pardon and diplomatic roles. I have read all about it, I know people that where DIRECTLY involved in the war and I have heard and read direct accounts of what happened, this one no be super story, Banjo was never willing to help Biafra from the start.
Racoon: The northern political elites think they are smarter than the other Nigerians because they speak both sides of their mouth.These same fellas are the ones who championed the disastrous muslim muslim combo of T-Pain. Today power have slipped from their hands and they are whining and neighing like horses on heat. Hypocrites everywhere.
OBVIOUSLY, u are ignorant of China's economic power to stand toe-to-toe with USA & endure whatever shit USA throws on them and come out victories. USA is a declining power & TRUMP rule will hasten it. Read the attached article of how American farmers lost billions of dollars when he imposed tariff on Chinese goods in his first term, By the way, l am Diaspora Nigerian living in USA. https://www.statista.com/chart/33120/estimated-us-agriculture-export-losses-mid-2018-to-end-of-2019-due-to-retaliatory-tariffs/
iichidodo: [color=#1976BC] Because Trump will revisit the fight on Chinese goods and services, which in turn will diminish China's global economic strength in the long term which in turn will affect its macroeconomic influence on Brics.... Putin cannot go and come and kill himself.[/color]
Wetin concern IPOB in this matter? Why are you obsessed with IPOB which has not killed anyone in SW but silent on Fulani herdsmen who have caused so much death & destruction in SW?
So true which goes to show that we are not a nation but a hodgepodge of nations forced to stay together by the white man. Solution: peaceful separation.
hotseat: When a Nigerian in Nigeria or in the diaspora achieves success, instead of being celebrated as a Nigerian, we resort to tribal glory and ethnic superiority with the intent to spite other Nigerians.
If na Igbo person, you go hear "Igbo amaka!
If na Yoruba, you go hear "omoluabi to the world ".
Where is the"Nigerianness" in us?
Na who do us dis tin?
After now we go dey curse oyinbo people sey dem be racist.
How do you know he’s an IPOB? I am an IPOB supporter & anti -Obi. Can you give me a label?
ObiPandora: It is now understandable why many of your obidient ipob miscreant live a wretched sad pathetic life so the news of this poor man winning his seat is the thing troubling you kin among all of Nigeria's problem at this hour. You are definitely destined to perish of hate cos I do not see how you can escape it.
..the Yorubas are the most ethnically sectional tribalistic region in the whole geographical expression..they will accuse others of tribalism...while perpetrating tge worst tribalism in the history of the country..
..even the poo in hari is a shadow of bigotry & nepotism when compared to Thief'nubu's tribalism..
..BATists..come & insult thee real omoluabi Afenifere because they spoke the truth against parapoism & tribalism..
InvertedHammer: / Everyone is nonchalant about Nigeria's issues until s/he or someone s/he loves becomes a victim. That's why one day they are supporting the leaders and insulting dissidents until Nigeria happens to them.
"Not my portion" is the only reason people don't care about protests.
Gowon was never older than Ojukwu. Learn the fact before coming online to disgrace yourself
Chukwuka319: Am unapologetic Igbo but I must be brutally honest.Anyone with insults can direct them to his or her ancestors, and generation unborn. Why are they harassing Gowon? He spoke the truth about the civil war. Gowon never wanted the war to break out and sought peaceful means of settlement,but Ojukwu was reckless,rash and too eager to pull Igbos out of Nigeria. Well Gowon is still alive, healthy and bubbling in good health, while Ojukwu the war lord has long ago passed to the other Side. And Gowon is older than Ojukwu. Irony of life.
Daniel Kanu wasn’t part of people that truncated June 12 Election. He made money off it. He was only a political entrepreneur
Racoon: This man defied the military Junta having the likes of IBB, Abacha, David Mark, and other desperate military hawks of the inglorious military era( even @ the threat of his life) to start announcing the results of the watershed June 1993 presidential election that MKO Abiola clearly won.
Even if the same election was truncated by the then military with the likes of Arthur Nzeribe, and the infamous Daniel Kanu( Youth Earnestly Asked for Abacha-YEAA), It took the determination of Igbos like the legendary R.Adr Ebitu Ukiwe, R.Adr Ndubuisi Kanu and their non-military democrats to fought courageously for the actualization of the June-12 mandate while the like of Walter Ofonagoro, Ebenezer Babatope, Wole Oyelesi and others were the betrayers therein.
The elites who are the major beneficiary of the system are the ones fighting tooth and nail to keep everyone together.
How can we be one, when I can't peacefully sell or consume alcohol in Kano?
How are we one, when one ethnic group is not allowed to vote or be voted for in another part of the country?
How can we be one, when you need different requirements to gain admission into the University in different parts of the country?
We are one, yet you take the resources of one region to develop the entire country, while a certain region keep theirs to themselves, and use banditry to stop anyone from going close to their resources.
Why do these folks compare Ojukwu’s Biafra with Boro’s amorphous Niger Delta Republic?
gidgiddy: Isaac Boros case is different, he only made a declaration. To this day, nobody knows what part of Nigeria he was declaring Niger Delta Republic, nobody has seen his map
I could go to my backyard right now and declare 'Pankshin Republic', it does not mean anything
2mch: You, majorly caused the rot in Nigeria and disappointed yourself and all your family members. This baba need to die in peace and leave Nigeria alone. He’s too old to be this manipulative. It does not work anymore.
You ask the right question. Don’t blame him. He was the most unqualified & ill-equipped person to have ever ruled a multi-ethnic nation. He wasn’t even qualified to manage a street provision store. But he ruled NIGERIA for 9 years and destroyed her future.
DaddyCoool: Example, see my video above. A whole grown man saying he abandoned a lengthy detailed agreement that he willingly signed because of who made announcement first!😅 What has announcement to do with following an agreement you signed??!
MightySparrow: If you were in his shoes you would understand better. Igbos and the north were political friends while West played opposition. He was facing a threat from his political friend and another from Awolowo who wanted a secession without shedding the blood of his people. If you were such a leader, would you want the nation to disintegrate like that? Tinubu, our current president once said he didn't believe in Nigeria. Now, as the president, would he wish the nation to scatter? I don't think so.
Aburi truce was between the two warring sides and it didn't solve the problem in its totality. He had to choose the easiest way out, which was war
Mind you,he is a soldier. He thinks like a. military man not a civilian. So, when you people criticize, think about the man also
Tinubu is punishing us now for his economic life policy as an accountant, who believe in saving money and having value for money. Whatever his reasons I need food on my table. Yet he sticks to his policy. Na sọ my brother. The igbos should allow the dead dog to lie and do reasonable politicking. The last election showed that something great is in the about to happen. Rather than igbos abusing everybody, especially yorubas, it is easier to get the presidency through the three southern, geopolitical zones and Christian middle belt than aligning with the north. For now, the north doesn't want a Igbo president.
Fujiyama: A poster above says Buhari had a 'poor intellectual background'. And the current man has what?
This administration made 2 major moves: the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the Naira.
Today the administration has reinstated the subsidy but it has not made the exact figures public...and there's a reason for that. One of the industry players (Pinnacle oil MD/CEO) said the subsidy now runs at N1 trillion per month currently. If the man is correct, that raises the question: What was the point of subsidy removal then?
Today the administration has taken at least one facility (Project Gazelle) that by the government's own admission will be used to prop up the currency. For how long will this 'intervention' be sustained...and more important, what was the point of the float in the first place then?
I am no seer but I wager that before the end of this year, this administration will again go before lawmakers to ask for approval for a supplementary budget to cover these costs. When that supplementary budget is passed, the real extent of the subsidy reinstatement will be known. The forex management outcomes is a little bit trickier to predict...but I ask the experts - what happens when you run out of money for currency defence?
nedu666: Nigeria elected a man who during his first media chat did not know the meaning of inflation, Buhari in 2015 did not know that west Germany and the deutsch mark was no longer in existence, he was asked how he would tackle unemployment and he started talking of fighting corruption in the lake Chad basin. Imagine at that age and status how ignorant Buhari was of happenings in the world. Yet Nigeria elected him and expected him to transform the country
Was Tinubu & Yorubas who engineered Buhari ascent to power not aware of the consequence of helping a Fulani irredentist & Muslim fanatics like Buhari to come to power?
Did Tinubu take a stance & call out Buhari & his Fulani hegemonist in power? The answer is NO! Why not? He wanted power so much that he either kept quiet where he was supposed to speak out for truth & equity or spoke in support of Buhari’s misrule where he was supposed to oppose him all geared to succeeding Buhari which he did. Ndi-Yoruba will be the loser in the long-run.
UltraSolid: Emefiele was not the problem. He was merely a pawn. The real problem was the Fulani cabal Buhari turned into the rulership council of Nigeria even as some of them had no official position. They took advantage of Buhari's automatic allegiance to Fulanis to sell him outrageous policies that destroyed Nigeria yet they packaged as a means to secure Fulani economic resurgence.
I was a Buhari fan too when he came to power but I don't follow any leader blindly because the delivery of economic progress for Nigeria is why I vote. Not constant hero worship of any leader when I know man is patently flawed. Continuous support for leaders should only be based on them continuing to do well.
It is dishonest and revisionist to try and paint Buhari a saint deceived by Emefiele and co when they merely just used our former CBN governor. Buhari had a Fulani supremacist agenda. He did a lot wrong because of that outlook.
