I read historical perspective and can hardly fault the Israelis. The people "we" love to protect do not believe in a 2 state solution either. Ask an Hamas offspring or average Palestinian today, you hear "from the river to the sea". So we protect one to sacrifice another?
That rhetoric is real! It is what first displaced the Israelis (with a lot of casualty) for there to be a need to come back. And if you doubted that, ask the Yazidis what can happen, even in the new millennium!
I do not support killings as long as both parties are agreeable. But if one is saying I want to exterminate you, the other has a right to defend and protect its interest,moreso when they have the power to do so now unlike the old times!
You shouldn't use international community to buy time to strike a deadly blow (an intention you never hid) on a "neighbor".
Hamas should downtool or be open to mutual existence.

It is ridiculous to read your message in defense of Israel.

Are all Palestinians, including the women and children that are being killed, members of Hamas?

Israel has been operating apartheid against Palestinians in Gaza even when Gaza is officially not governed by Israel.

Israel has indicated their unwillingness to allow a Palestinian country. Can you ask Israelis why? Every countries recognizing Palestine as a nation has been criticized, reprimanded and declared enemy by Israel. Why can't Israelis allow Palestinians be a nation on their own? Must Palestinians be subjects of Israelis to be bullied, deprived, despised and oppressed?

Israel is a selfish, arrogant, annoying and tyrannical country that must be checked and bound by international laws. They must respect international laws and fundamental human rights and rules of engagement at war.

Only presidency... I repeat only presidential election. You could see how the FG targeted MNK cos he want to plunge the whole SE to boycott the process. 🤣🤣🤣And igbos were cooperative....... The whole hausas and Yoruba were in a deep shit lamenting cursing MNK.

Time is just clicking 😆

You can do all since you don't want to be part of Nigeria. Abi, your state government will not be drawing funds from Nigeria or under Nigeria.

If you only boycott presidential election then you are not agitating for Biafra, you want something else that you need to determine and tell us.

When you boycott, I will say well done to you.

...but a federal high court in Abuja is saying Bayero is the legitimate Emir of Kano Emirate... Sanusi is now playing for sympathy.... recently, the police in Kano state are not taking orders from the governor. With the police? The government is powerless. Bayero is keeping his cards to his chest

federal high court in Abuja has no jurisdiction over chieftancy or kingship issues.

Rexymania:
Sanusi had the support of the APC at that time bcus they wanted to use Sanusi to taunt Jonathan....it was after Jonathan removed him as CBN governor they made him king. Wetin Bayero won talk? Bayero no get mouth those time na, na now him duh gain recognition

Listen, Bayero should just respect himself. Being Emir is just a privilege; an opportunity to serve people; not a right.

If they say leave the throne, just move on. It is not the end of life. That was how Sanusi approached it when he was removed and that is part of the reasons I respect him.

If God's choice is for Sanusi to return as Emir, Bayero should just rest abeg.

HardBishop:
No problem, when the presidential slot is being denied to us SE, it would be a historical mark In Nigeria history when elections are being bypass in the region will be a normal and constant reminder.
As Nigeria complained bitterly against MNK and sit at home, that's how it shall be Tru out media outlets.
Pls let this warning not be overlooked. Northerners ad other really complained and kidnapped MNK. Whatsoever the sidelined region takes, no complain

When you boycott presidential election please ensure that you also boycott the senatorial and house of representatives elections too.

In fact, don't participate in gubernatorial and state assemblies elections too so that we know that you don't want to be part of Nigeria.

Maybe you would have driven your points that you want Biafra nation.

Hello nairaland Fam need you input on this.

I am a married man going to 3 years now.
I was scrolling on Facebook when a Saw a video of man exercising in a Gym.

This man wore a short nicker and you could see the shape of his joystick dangling. His thing was really big
The issue is that when I scrolled down the comment section I saw a comment from my wife since we are friends on FB and this is exactly what she said in verbatim (guess she is not so smart I would see her comments)

" I love to eat this kind of Food" yea including the smiley face

From her profile pic you can clearly see she is a married woman even other people responded to her comment calling her all sort of names like Olosho and the rest, one even said I pity your Husband.


I saw this when I was in the Office and it clearly spoilt my day I could not concentrate at work anymore.
When I got home I challenged her regarding this comment and she said its nothing that its just a joke comment.

I have been angry as she seriously disrespected me and I am considering a divorce from the marriage.



Edited: File photo used for illustration

I don't think you should make it a big deal. It is a silly comment from her and perhaps not well thought or articulated.

Unfortunately for her, you saw it and she got insults from several people on the comments section.

Let her know you feel embarrassed by the comment she made on the guy's di.ck. Hopefully, she would apologize.

Work on improving the size of your di.ck - there are some solutions you can apply.

It is not enough reason to divorce her especially if she is apologetic after realizing that she hurt you feelings.

Rexymania:
Bayero the last Emir was kidnapped and killed by terrorist which prompted Sanusi to become king.

No be murder be that?

That throne duh get error before....Sanusi should allow the murdered Emir's son to rule in peace, after his death, then Sanusi if he's still alive should rule or his son.

Case closed.

Since you feel the son of the late Bayero should be allowed to rule: Why was Sanusi chosen by the kingmakers to be king ahead of Bayero in the first place?

Why didn't Bayero go to court or challenge the kingmakers when they chose Sanusi? He was Okay with that choice then and never questioned Sanusi's rule until Ganduje dethroned Sanusi and made Bayero the Emir.

Federal high has jurisdiction if the complainants sue for human rights violations

Federal high Court has jurisdiction over human right issues

Adolphus Karibi-White, a former justice of the supreme court, said in the case of Olaniyi V. Aroyehum (1991) 5 NWLR (Pt. 194) 652 at 660 that “the right to be a traditional ruler is not a fundamental right that can be enforced under the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution”.

“… chieftaincy is not a matter of fundamental rights and cannot be enforced under the provisions of Section 31 of the Constitution. It cannot be seriously argued that there is a fundamental right to be a ‘Chief’. It is not a human right, even though it is a privilege claimed by human beings in an organised society to bring order to their mutual relationships. It is not such a right which the law can enforce by virtue merely of the claimant being a human being,”

The Apex court has said that the right to be an Emir is not a fundamental right under chapter four of the constitution, the federal high court sitting in Kano ought to have declined jurisdiction to continue to entertain the dispute over the chieftaincy matter in Kano.



Falana said a traditional ruler who was deposed by a governor without a fair hearing can approach the state high court for legal redress.

“But in challenging deposition or removal from the throne, the appropriate court to seek redress is the state high court,” he said.

“In Chief Joseph Odetoye Oyeyemi v Commissioner For Local Govt., Kwara State & Ors. (1992)2 SCNJ 266, the appellant sued the defendant at the Kwara state high court where he challenged the withdrawal of his recognition as the Bale of Oro without affording him the right to make a representation. He won at the high court and lost at the court of appeal.”

He said the decision of the appellate court was later overturned by the supreme court.

“The summary of the existing judicial authorities is that the federal high court lacks the jurisdictional competence to entertain any matter pertaining to the deposition of a traditional ruler unless the complaint is limited to his banishment or detention,” Falana said.

“In conclusion, judges and lawyers should realise that disputes arising from chieftaincy and other local matters are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the high court of each state of the federation, notwithstanding that the country is operating a distorted federal arrangement.”

Hmm. Excellent speech - no doubt.

Is this the justification for the apartheid (against Palestinians), brutality and genocide that Israel has been executing against the Palestinians?

Israel can't deceive us with their choice of words, they can keep trying to make "black look like white" but we know what it is.

Israel has committed the same crime that we crucified Hitler for conducting a genocide against the Israelites several years ago. The world came to Israelites rescue and called the spade what it is in case of Hitler.

Why does Israel want us to excuse it's act of genocide in this case against the Palestinians?

The speaker tried to guilt trip the Christians by bringing the words of the Bible to justify Israel's genocide and brutality but I want to ask - What is the population of Christians in Israel? About 2%

I am almost certain that the speaker is a Jew so why coerce the conscience of Christians?

There are no moral, religious or fundamental human rights justification for what Israelis are doing to the ordinary people of Palestine.

Biodun556:
The judiciary can nullify act of parliament through the power of judicial review

I believe that the jurisdiction of such annulment of the act of parliament is with the state high court not federal high court in respect of kingship titles.

What is the position of the state high court on the matter?

Akpabio is just a clown

Trump had a stopover at the People’s Convention" of Turning Point Action in Michigan

The US Presidential Election holds on November 05, 2024

Trump is a mad man. He is an irredeemable racist

nighthawk1:
Osimen is a shoe lace in comparison to Finidi George.

I blame the FA for not sticking with the coach.
If Finidi were white, the FA would have acted differently

Finidi was a great player but an inferior coach or football manager.

The FA should have been objective and reasonable enough to get a good coach among all those who applied for cute job.

But selfish and sinister interests influenced all the chairman and board members of NFF to choose Finidi

Fineman2:
Osimhen should apologize to this legend, I don't know why people from that side are defending him

Finidi started it. What did he mean by stating that he can't be begging Osihmen to play for Nigeria.

He got what he asked from Osihmen

malali:
“The old Eastern Region and the old Western Region, of which I belonged to, were equal competitors and partners before and during the First and Second Republic but today, you have appointed 10 Yorubas as Ministers from the South-West and only five Ministers from the South-East and you even failed to give them the ministerial appointment due to their region that would have made it six Ministers.

“There is no justification for this grave omission, and no effort has been made to correct it. "

Mr Clark do you know what is democracy ? Tinubu won an election, He has the right to appointments to enhance a successful administration. A lot of people you are advocating for do not even want this advocacy ? They are online insulting the president everyday. If i stand outside your house and insult you everyday and also throw stones at your car. Will you hire me to work as your driver ? Lets make sense out of our utterances,“He who comes into equity must come with clean hands.”


“I repeat again, the immediate restructuring of Nigeria must be carried out if this country is to remain one, and I appeal to Mr. President to take immediate action to implement the historic 2014 National Conference Report, which submitted 600 recommendations to the Presidency on how to restructure Nigeria in every aspect of our lives,” he said.

Once again Mr Clark, you only carry one vote, just like me. You are not more important than any other voter in Nigeria. If you are concerned about national issues, direct them to your representatives, HoR and senate accordingly. Grandstanding media directives can be interpreted as having delusional undertone, telling Nigerians restructuring "must" be carried out. We have a legislative arm of government representing everybody according, these are deemed as proper channels of airing grievances. Please in the future resist the temptation to must to requests. You are not in a position to say we must do anything.

When I read Mr Edwin Clark's position, I could not help but conclude that he is seeking attention and being frivolous or clever.

When Ebele Jonathan was president of Nigeria, I remember that Clark was one of his close allies or. Advisers. Did Clark advice Jonathan to share ministerial appointments in the order he is proposing to the President Tinubu?

Whatever Jonathan did that was questionable was supported, with threats, by Clark and a host of others.

Today, Clark is trying to use double psychology and whip up sentiments against the President and fan the distrust and animosity against the Yorubas by the Igbos.

We are not surprised, we see your strategy and plan. Yet again, you failed to deceive us.

IfnobeGod20:
You lacked understanding and you should have stood down and reflect before you vomit this your comment. The constitution not respected, how would it unite us? That's why he said it is only justice and equity that can unite us. Learn how to reflect and stop disgracing the little education given to you by your parents.

Oga wey dey reflect. Please tell us what you define as constitution.

Let's start with your understanding of constitution and see how educated and informed you are.

The constitution in itself is about justice, equity and fairness. Every law in Nigeria is subject to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in case of any conflicting position.

The constitution is the paramount law and justice document in Nigeria. Hence, that is what defines Nigeria and bound us together.

Ode! Since you no dry informed, let us help you a little, if you would accept the help otherwise, move on with your flawed ideologies and pained and damaged personality.

GUNITGuy:
They are at Liberty to belong to any Region through referendum but the confab reports of 2014 is a good template already.....The Itshekiri leaders have already been able to find a place were they know their voices would be heard .....They have never hidden their desire to be joined with the West as it was before ....The Ijaws are having land dispute everywhere but that has been settled in Court so boundary dispute her less this days as compared to what we have in the past in Delta state

Confab report is not a law or bill. It is also not perfect.

We are talking about a bill on regional government not Confab.

You shouldn't belong to a region that is far away from you. It keeps you isolated and vulnerable

Raf4:
Bring out your known border between Ondo and Delta states let's see.

Please educate me about the border between Ondo and Delta. You are the one trying to prove it not me.

Ensure to indicate the land border, if any, but if you tell me it is sea border, then your argument has been punctured.

I am waiting, my dear friend

Fashypearl:
What can you do about it ?

I can only laugh at your ridiculous, poorly trained and empty self.

I have got no time to lose on you.

Raf4:
Were they not part of Western Region before?
Are they not sharing borderline with Ondo state?
Though not compulsory, but it is possible.

Oga, you have an Android or IOS device, google and read about the Itsekiris.

They don't share borderline with Ondo state. It will be disastrous for itsekiris to remain in Delta yet be under Southwestern region when the Delta, Edo, Baylesa and their neighbors will be under a different region.

GUNITGuy:
The Itshekiri are located along the Coastal boarders from Delta to Edo to Ondo to Lagos .....
It's the best proposal so far ....Let people of common ancestry Rule themselves into Regions with full control while the Centre controls things like military and immigration ...Let me let you know something it's going to ignite healthy competition as it was in the past .....Once your region is not advancing you would be held responsible for it

Stop arguing blindly, have you ever been to Delta State. I can bet that you have never been there. Do you know that the stool of "Olu of Warri" is traditionally that of itsekiris. Do you know the land mass occupied by itsekiris in Delta. The riverine and coastal areas of Delta is predominantly occupied by Ijaws.

See I like intelligent contributions, google is your friend; you can research about itsekiris.

They migrated to Delta. The itsekiris will be doing themselves a disservice if they choose to remain in Delta and want to be under Southwest region. It will be a disaster for them.

Your points about regional system of government are well taken and understood in areas of healthy competition and others but get your facts right.

It has a lot of disadvantages, to group the itsekiris under southwestern region, for the itsekiris and even the southwestern regional government

GUNITGuy:
The Itshekiri leaders have already assent to be joined with the West due to their mistrust of Ijaws ....This is contained in the 2014 confab reports as Well as the Okun people of Kogi and kwara state.....
It's the minority of the Old eastern region that are jittery of going back to Enugu as Capital ...

If so, will the Itsekiris leave Delta to be relocated to the South Western region?

Do they want to remain in Delta yet be classified as Southwest Region?

That proposal is not logical and devoid of geographical understanding

@MobilePunch

Constitution can unite a nation. In fact, that is what bound us together

Dreambeat:
I did not qualify the word Majority. I am sure you did not read where I wrote Majority in Nigeria. I was writing about watering down Igbo majority in the SE/SS region which was the context under which I made the comment
I never mentioned Nigeria

Okay

franudi:
Yorubas are stupid for supporting that the south Easterners be separated from their people while Yorubas be united together. This is not that time Gowon did those nonsense division he did.

Does the man (Fapohunda) who originated the bill speak for Yorubas? How many Yorubas support that the south Easterners be separated from their people?

You see how stupid and ridiculous you are? Your thought process is so flawed that I wonder who trained you and what level of training and exposure that you have

Dreambeat:
So Igbo no be major ethnic group for Nigeria?

Now you are talking sense.

The Igbo tribe is a major tribe in Nigeria, I agree with you.

But I don't agree that the Igbo tribe is the majority tribe.

English language my dear friend. The majority tribe in Nigeria is Hausa.

Dreambeat:
Is there going to be a referendum to determine which region they prefer, of course like you wrote bearing in mind the geographical location of the region they want to belong which has to be in close proximity to theirs

I believe every state has representatives in the National Assembly. The bill will be passed to the National Assembly and perhaps the state house of assemblies for deliberation.

Everyone who wish to make an input on it can join the discourse at the assemblies.

pandax:
Yoruba is proposing to annex their kith and kin in Kwara and Kogi + Akoko Edo in Edo and itshekri in Delta; but proposing for Anioma to join Midwest and Ohaji/Egbema in so called Southern IMO to join Southern region.

Please, why jump Rivers to merge Bayelsa with AkwaCross?

It is either Fapohunda is mischievous or do not understand the make up/geography of SS/SE and thus his proposed Southern Region,Midwest and South East regions. 1886 Berlin Conference at play!

The only issue I have with the proposal is the request to join Itsekiri in Delta to South West region.

I think it is not feasible or necessary especially die to geographical location.

I think the proposal that Yoruba speaking people of Edo,Kogi and Kwara to join the South Western region is in order however subject to the decision of the people of those Yoruba speaking areas to decide.

Dreambeat:
I think he is being mischievous, same old trick to water down Igbo unity and majority

Who dash igbo majority?

Fashypearl:
I saw that too. Very stupid set of people.

How can you call an entire tribe - stupid. You have bad manners and training

Okechinwadike:
that's a good one from tinubu, though Yorubas are like a chameleon, neither red nor black.

That is your opinion

tarboshi:
"....incorporating the Yoruba-speaking people in Kogi and the Igbomina people in Kwara State. Additional options would be the Itsekiri people of Delta State and Akoko-Edo people of Edo State to make their respective choices.” Is it supposed to be a tribal region or a geographical region?

A mix of both.
