That's what you have when you have uncountable children. Imagine how many Seyi Tinubu we will have to maintain if this one becomes president, numbers of security details for wives and children. Thank God Tinubu and Buhari had one wife each. I wonder how many wives and children Atiku has.

Tinubu has three wives,
Buhari hath two.

Stop commenting on Nigerian history

Namibians and Nigerians have been dragging each other on Twitter (X) for sometime now. It started when a Nigerian "innocently" asked if Namibia has airports. Namibia has been on our matter since then, cooking us with undeniable facts.

I was going to add my voice in defence of my country, but after a Namibian posted the below, I calmed down, shut up and moonwalked out of the space.

Which kain see finish be dis? This one really enter. This is just the height of it 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Common Nigeria youths are an uncouth and ineffective group on the internet. After the Trump blockade, Nigeria ain't ish on the internet.
These things trickle down.

Trump wants to preside over all the Americas and her resources . Central, southern and the Carribean.

American's do not have the discipline the british had

ruggedtimi:
meaning putin/xi jinping na cowards too.

Yeah, Xi Jinping has reviewed his tarrifs .. 100 times
Yeah, Putin has left Ukraine.

....
The west is letting Ukraine go, hope you heard. Putin wins here.
The have shifted to Venezuela Oil, as they cant' get Russian, and Iran is fully sided with China

...
Trump has not taken any drastic or forceful action against countries, only half as powerful as they are.
Venezuela was an economic decision not political it has nothing to do with Trump but the US dollar.

Drop which guy?
Dey play.

That monopoly Dangote is looking for, he won't get it.

Why should Dangote petrol be in the same price range as imported fuel?
What then is the use of his refinery?

All these too cool for school kids. Okay now this is a strictly academic matter (MONOPOLY). Obviously, you only heard it from someone as ill equipped to discuss it as you like Seun Kuti.

I think this will lure people to save more and pay tax.

This has nothing to do with saving or tax.

Depositors funds raised
Cash flow raised

Banks can now give irresponsibly loan money to politicians for 2027.
CBN guarantees - the water will not run dry!

bigpicture001:
I trust this is peter OBI's last attempt at national leadership... He will simply dissappear.. it will b the lose of career politicians not his lose

Peter Obi's political career is on life support. Soludo will humiliate him in 2027. Same thing that happened to Tinubu is Lagos, will happen to Obi in Anambra.

Tinubu would do anything to avoid going head to head with Atiku. Obi most likely will sell out, and use Nnamdi Kanu as a crutch to stay relevant. Their are no ass-is left for him to kiss. He has to become a Kemi or Trump; but the hate/bigotry card is a very expensive theme.

Igbobi college has always been free education. 😏😏 Weyrey

Apogee14:
Lol all this nonsense you posted is irrelevant to our discussion. Werey 🤣🤣

Igbobi did not offer free education. This information is available on the internet.

But lets play your baseless presumption as a scenario.

If tuition at Igbobi was free:
1. Was the school uniform, shoes, ties free?
2. Was the transportation to and from school free?
3. Were the books, pencils and other items needed to aid study free?
4. How about the Cambridge exam was that exam also free?

- Read Professor Olusesan Laditan book ; Looking Back. He has a generous survey on his activities as an Igbobi student.
- He mentioned Felix Ibru was his senior, also an accomplished student. Several Ibru's attended Igbobi.
- He has pages about school fees; his father paying his fees, and other doctors, lawyers who graduated Igbobi paying some students school fees.

Apogee14:
Well SHEY you get the point ? 7 children, father was missionary worker who wear shorts and ride bicycle and mother struggled to sell fish in market to feed all 7 children

Humble beginnings. No wealth

Missionary workers were the only educated class, after the children of kings, and chiefs. Missionary brought education, bookeeping, technology, and more. Almost every successful leader or company in Nigeria has strong missionary connections.

The Anglican and Methodist Church brought education to Nigeria not Lord Lugard!

Oga stop rubbing shit all over yourself. Every body knows missionaries were the crux of development in Nigeria; whether northern or southern Nigeria.

In Lagos, two groups were predominant; the Amaro's and Saro's. The Saro's were missionaries, CBN governor is a Saro, while the Amaro's were famers; all educated by missionaries. Infact the missionaries educated most of Europe. Till today, the Catholic church sits on one of the largest reserves of wealth and real estate in the world.

Go back to TikTok and make content, so you can PH 7M to GH 24M

Oga, I told you. You need to cite academic sources (reputable sources) for this information you are spewing.

I don tire for Naija. At least you did not cite grok or chat gee-pity

Yankee101:
Otedola was also implicated
That’s why he set up the house of reps committee member, Farouk Lawal, with a bribe in dollars that took him to jail


There are few clean monies in Nigerian billionaires

Abubakar Audu helped set up Obajana cement for kogi state. He was a board member after they surveyed, registered Obajana cement as a company belonging to Kogi state, but invested Dangote as a strategic investor., but he collected everything.

No No No..... I disagree.

Obajana started in 1992. Dangote was importing cement and sugar until the early 2000's. When he acquired (legally) Obajana cement. And, Obajana cement is not the only cement complex he owns - so why comparing Dangote symbiosis to Otedola parasitism.

Oga, this hatred for Dangote needs to have some sort of order or target. Same way, Otedola pushed Otudeko out of First bank only for us to realize that they only wanted the bank for political reasons - Is first bank doing better than when Otudeko controlled it?

Thank God, Dangote never collected loaned dime from First bank.

Apogee14:
Go on Wikipedia and read about Micheal Ibru. It categorically states in Wikipedia that the ibru family was poor before Micheal ibru. Micheal ibru started the dynasty. The man died in 2016 September. That's funny that olorogun died in September too. September must be a bad month in ibru household

Wikipedia also says Nigeria was a sovereign state by 1960; when we all know that until 1963 the British crown still presided over Nigeria's affairs. Wikipedia is not peer reviewed, neither is it vetted by any expert. Its like telling me, your roadside furniture guy is the best person to ask how to roof a house.

Chief Peter Ibru went to Igbobi, worked in a hospital, married a trader
Micheal Ibru went to Igbobi, worked for UAC, began to trade with UAC

Dantata's mother was a trader all the way to Ghana
Dantata inherited his mothers trade, and pivoted

This is not Google/Meta money that is magically generated from electronic pulses. Even Google had first investors, Amazon had his parent, Meta had Saverin. Ojukwu had to work with John Holt, to notice the gap in transportation.

Micheal Ibru his father also attended Igbobi. His grandfather Chief Peter Ibru could afford it because he worked in a Hospital, and his wife was a successful trader. His father worked for UAC, and eventually worked with UAC.

His father was wealthier than Louis Ojukwu and Dantata in 1950 & 1960's pre and post independence. Ojukwu never worked with UAC, as such he could have never been as rich as you think.

Ibru and Dantata were the only family's from Nigeria recognized for their preservation of generational wealth.

While Louis Ojukwu could not transfer wealth to his son or grandsons; Chief & Mrs Ibru Micheal Ibru, and Dantata's mother were able to transfer their wealth and influence to their children, grandchildren and today great grand children.

Someone on this forum said Ibru is nouveau riche. GENZ and chemically enhanced wee-wee

Apogee14:
The ibrus are not old money. The ibrus are new money. The man who started the ibru dynasty died in 2002 or something. Prior to that man the ibru was a poor family. The man made his money like 60 years ago and then all his children took over. It's first generation wealth. That's not old money. The Rothschild's in Europe trace their wealth back like 500 plus years ago. That's old money

Ibrus new money; how? When Nigeria started in 1914, gained independence in 1960, and sovereignty in 1963.

The Ibrus, and Modandola where the biggest and baddest. Dantata started earlier, through his mother, but only begun to gain "National" prominence when the Ibrus where already balling out of control.

Just like Dantata started with the great grandmother who was a successful trader; the Ibru's started with a great grandfather ; Chief Peter Ibru.

To really confirm old money in Nigeria; that money must be connected to UAC (Royal Niger Company). Dantata, Ibru did business with UAC. Ojukwu worked with John Holt. Ibru infact, worked, and eventually did business with UAC. Dantata at that time was the largest grain exporter with UAC, with a 500,000 pound credit line in the 1920's

With all due respect, uncle JJ u sound confused, no joking.

Explained for the simpletons:

When the funding period is complete; regardless of (i) the amount required to complete and stock the library is realized, (ii) the library is completed and stocked.

The name of the library will be changed or an attempt to change the name of the library to Tinubu will be made.

This attempt to name a national library after Tinubu is a result of Tinubu's realization; that after so many years IBB, and the original IBB/ABACHA/PDM club is still strong and breathing because of IBB's many benevolent acts done with asking for anything in return.Its like believing the roman catholic church is holy, benevolent, and pure, while the roman catholic church is simply the roman army. Like the German army which adopted several religious emblems, and symbols; Tinubu will attempt to adopted emblems and symbols that obfuscate his true objective.

Library wey dey go change to Tinubu library.

Na jealousy of IBB ooh

Tinubu felt very little at that gathering

12 days of war with Iran was an eye opener that their underbelly is soft like ogi.

The whole world was shocked! It was raining missiles... ooh.

Isreal was like the guy beating up every one in the room, then he comes to the little guy who passes in between his legs; then pushes him down the stairs. You gotta go to the hospital at this point cos your badly injured, and make sure the next time you meet him - there are no stairs!

tecnolad:
How's buying things in installments "fake life"? Even wealthy people do it.

See me see wahala ooh

The Ibru dynasty.

These are the richest men in Nigeria during a period where quack historians claim Louis Ojukwu was the richest in Nigeria.

Did Louis Ojukwu own a bank
Did Louis Ojukwu own a shipping line
Did Louis Ojukwu own a jetty

These are the rich forevers.
These are the people who can rub shoulders with the Dantata's. Take note, Dangote is a Dantata!

Gone too Soon!

Oando Plc, run by Wale Tinubu, President Bola Tinubu’s nephew, has been shortlisted among the top three bidders to purchase Trinidad’s former national refinery.

Sugarboyy:
If Tinubu sign same executive order, empowering Dangote refinery, it's people like you that will still accuse him of helping Dangote to monopolies the oil sector because he has a share in Dangote refinery. We know una
A president that fought the oil cabals by removing subsidy on his first day in office and has refused to bring back subsidy despite all the blackmailing will now turn around to support these same cabals to fight Dangote?

Sugarboyy:
Can you be reasonable? The same Tinubu that Dangote was always praising as been amongst those that made his refinery a success, even before Tinubu became president?
Tinubu is the president and if he doesn't want Dangote refinery to work for a single day, he can do it. Or you are talking about the same Tinubu that has been selling crude to Dangote with naira instead of the US dollars? Or you weren't in Nigeria when the naira for crude swap deal was approved for Dangote and still working till now?
Imagine mentioning Tinubu and Buhari in the same sentence 😂😂

You don't understand what you are talking about.

Sirjamo:
If I ever leave Nigeria, it would be because of the miserable fellow citizens I share this country with, not the government. Nigerians are more evil than their leaders. Everyone in this country is factory fitted fraudster waiting for the right opportunity to strike, at the detriment of his fellow citizens.

If not for Dangote, those thieves would have made life harder for us in this country.

They thought it would be easy to crush Dangote. Like, the man said; "every business I started I fought" (excuse my english).
Tinubu does not want Dangote to succeed.

You can call Trump a million names. But, he'd sign an executive order for Dangote in a flash... and send prices crashing down.

But Tinubu does not want that! Buhari wanted it, never Tinubu

shortgun:
[b]Trying to discredit a reputable media outlet just to fit your bias is not very intelligent.
It’s almost comical that despite mountains of verifiable evidence, you stubbornly choose ignorance.

Stop the lies.
The facts remains indelible Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu was already a verified billionaire in the 1960s, long before fake blogs even existed.

Ojukwu was wealthy in Nnewi or the eastern region. Like you will say richest man of Eastern extraction, which is currently Arthur Eze (verified). That is what Ojukwu's dad was at that time. Louis Ojukwu transport business started in Lagos in 1937, while Dantata was already in business with UAC in the 1920's, where he was the largest grain supplier with a 500,000 pound credit line. Dantata also joined the transport business.

In the transport business Ojukwu at the height (1950's) had some 200 vehicles, while Dantata Transport had 600 vehicles.

People like to claim Ojukwu was bastard rich. No, he only owned a single business and sat on the board of several successful companies. Yes, he dabbled in real estate and construction but nothing he owned. Dantata owned business, and was also on the board of businesses including Shell.

People claim Ojukwu's will was conveniently forgotten/abandoned in Enugu government house when the Nigerian troops attacked when the Biafra secessionist was afoot. IBB brought Gen. Ojukwu (Ojukwu's son) back to Nigeria after he fled to Ivory Coast during the war. IBB gave Ojukwu back all his properties. Where are they?

Like I said, Louis Ojukwu offered Gen. Ojukwu 40,000 pounds his total earnings from one year as director in various companies. Remember Louis Ojukwu was also Chairman African Continental Bank. But, Gen. Ojukwu has other plans; why take over his fathers assets when he could take over the entire region which he did.

You dey mind them?. People who were dumped on Lagos soil straight from the ship from slavery are claiming Lagos but they won't tell us the village they were raided from and taken through badagry route to the Atlantic. But the true indigenes of Lagos who made Lagos are the ones these 🤡 are trying to gaslight.

they are like the Cardoso family.

Slaves in lagos belong to two groups .. Amaro's, and Saro's.
The Amaro's came directly from Portugal/Brasil, while the Saro's moved from Sierra Leone/Liberia to Nigeria.

Like the Rotschilds, they where at then responsible or part off alot of uprising, land disputes, and power grabbing in Lagos. None of the slave families, are poor or broke today. They all own choice landed properties.
