Yeah. Yoruba people are very good people and I love them; just that their women are very dirty.

I trust APC, they will soon retract this statement. Bunch of clowns

Good works Putin. We dey your back

MaziOmenuko:
Dude is not death, he is faking his death and spreading the fake rumor to evade extradition. Until we see his corpse, he must be sent to the UK to answer for his sins.

We don't harbor criminals!

How about the ones you have in Aso Rock?

Even with all the money, still very ugly. No wonder their women are the least sought after.

Even with all the money, still very ugly. No wonder their women remain the least sought after. See the girl wide mouth. Even the bridesmaids resemble Benin witches

God, why did you bestow on us this party that's bereft of ideas at this point in time. Just under five months, virtually everything is in shambles; no economic policy, no salaries being paid, job losses, no capital developments, political witch hunting, darkness, body odor etc please God, if you deliver us from APC , we promise not to make that mistake again.

MaziOmenuko:
Make his corpse available for extradition asap!

Even in death?

So this APC people finally killed this man. Okay ooo!

Maybe we should dedicate a channel to the reality show

So they finally killed this man. APC una doooo

Alams is dead
More details shortly.

Ovamboland:
Please leave that nonsense, of maybe 200 or more politicians who owe their ascendancy to association with Tinubu, less than 10% are his family members. It is not new even in the largest democracy in the world as far the elections are credible. Will anybody come and call you just because you rant online and post with a faceless moniker, and then abandon the men and women who leave their comfort to attend meetings, organise, travel and donate resources, money, cars to the cause.

In India Nehru was the first prime minister, his daughter, Indira became PM, his grandson became PM and his grandson's wife almost became PM if not that she was Italian born.

In the USA, Kennedy's father was a politician before his son became president, another son Robert who was appointed into his brother's cabinet also became a leading presidential candidate before he was assassinated. Ted Kennedy another brother was one of the longest running Senators in US congress. George Bush became president and 8 years later his son became president and concurrently another son Jeb, was governor in another state.

Nigerians only shout are they the only one because of one thing, it is called 'longer throat' and the intention to also go and loot as we still see public office as a free ticket to inexplicable wealth. If you are talking about how much of a misfit Lai Mohamed's son is a misfit for the position he occupies then there is a debate.

Not that i am cool with the current idea of our current crop of politician as they are not much different from the average follower as most still see public office as a reward and not service as illustrated by Lai Mohammed's reference to political reward. At his level i would expect something more cerebral than reward. What happens to service, community engagement and taking his state to the next level by contributing to making the future?

Are you done? If so, then, face front let me discuss with reasonable people. Thanks for your understanding.

No comment for now.

Have you guys checked her new boyfriend's house?

Na only Igbo girls dey this country? Kilode

Adieu, my once loved Super Eagles.

Lol... But this one na Photoshop na.

See wetin Buhari cause

Owelle and his brothers, anything g new? Just so sad how great Imolites were scammed with big big grammar and dancing but alas, their eyes have opened and Roch, the sly son of Cha, shall deceive them no more.

Correct man

Gbawe:
Bruv, look around you. Do you seriously think Nigerian youths are ready for leadership? Only very few are in an age when the majority are obsessed with bling, social networking, party lifestyle and 'big man thinz'. I interact with a lot of young Nigerians (18-35) and I can say most (90%) are not serious or conscious of what matters in life and how they can contribute towards making their society better. Young people do not automatically deserve anything. They must earn whatever they want in life. If I were Buhari I would ignore Nigerian youths because of what they are. Better to recruit from an era where people were patriotic and were dedicated to serving their nation than enlist irresponsible young people from an era of narcissism and shallowness.

Nigerian youths are not ready for leadership? But their own children are gradually taking up some few available space left out by these so called leaders that brought us where we are now. The Nigerian youths I know are very ready to assume political leadership with these wicked old men playing the role of advisers and elder statesmen. Check your records, all these so called leaders started their political life early. From Buhari at the age of 23, Gowon, Ibb, Obasanjo, Audu Ogbeh, Tinubu et al. Why make use of them to achieve your deceptive aim when you know they are utterly useless when it comes to share the spoils of office. Ponder about that

MayorofLagos:
The criminal activities of some Fulani herdsmen over time in the South-West which culminated in the sad and regrettable kidnap and torture of elder statesman, frontline politician and a leader of the Yoruba nation, Chief Olu Falae made the Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere to issue a strongly worded warning to the Fulani herdsmen to behave or face the people’s retribution if the security agencies would not bring them to order.

Expectedly and as it has always been the stock in trade of the Arewa Consultative Forum, a counter warning was issued to Afenifere, upbraiding the foremost Yoruba group for the communiqué it issued shortly after Pa Olu Falae regained his freedom from the hands of the suspected Fulani herdsmen who kidnapped him wherein the Yoruba group stated that “If the federal government fails to stop Fulani herdsmen from attacking Yoruba people, it may result in a situation where the South-West people will have to defend themselves.”

The ACF has picked on this statement, and in order to justify its desperate attempt at defending and covering up criminal elements of the Fulani descent, twisted the communiqué from Afenifere and distorted its message. For the avoidance of doubt and from the quote above, Afenifere was very clear as to whom their warnings were directed at. The communiqué issued warned of a situation where if the federal government fails to stop Fulani herdsmen from attacking Yoruba people, it may result in the people defending themselves.

An honest analysis of this statement simply implies that Afenifere never and I do not think that such a highly respectable group will ever condescend so low as to criminalise a whole region, tribe or race as the ACF would want us to believe. Those affected by Afenifere’s admonition are clearly stated: the Fulani HERDSMEN who ATTACK Yoruba people. This is different from saying it is all Fulani herdsmen not to talk of it referring to all Fulani.

This antic of the ACF is age-long. It is the same antic they use to try to cow other regions into doing their biddings and also a way of always having their way in all matters concerning the nation. Rather than face the more urgent and criminal issue of the wanton attacks perpetrated by their kinsmen, they prefer to pander to the gallery. They have always behaved like a heady headmaster who goes about dishing out instructions to his pupils who must obey without hesitation. That has come to stop!

It is this same antic they have used to silence the leaders of North-Central where the reprehensible criminal activities of these Fulani herdsmen have since assumed a brazen proportion. One wonders why, in spite of the incessant killings, maiming and raping of harmless and innocent people including women and children in droves, leaders of these region have found it convenient to just look on as if the lives of the victims do not matter. The Yoruba, learning from history, have to continue to speak up now or the region is turned into a theatre of war. No one region or tribe can or should intimidate the other!

It is this same antic that has been used to also cow our security agencies which appear powerless while the killings take place in the north central on a regular basis. If not, one wonders why a Fulani herdsman would seem to be allowed to move about freely with dangerous weapons including machetes, swords and even AK 47s without being challenged by any security personnel? Are there two different laws guiding the handling of weapons and firearms in Nigeria, one for the Fulani herdsmen and the other for the rest of us? What would happen if a man dressed in Igbo or Yoruba attire moves about with an AK 47 rifle in Lagos, Enugu or Kano? Would such a man not be promptly arrested and charged for illegal possession of firearm or the endangerment of public safety?


According to recent reports, residents of Enugu, South-East Nigeria, have also raised the alarm about the destructive activities of these herdsmen. Instead of the ACF to call their herdsmen to order and urge them to respect the rights of their hosts, they are busy trying to sound tough for vain purposes.

It would be a needless mistake if anyone thinks what the Afenifere or this essay sets out to achieve is to demonize any particular race, region or tribe. Far from it! Those in focus are Fulani herdsmen who attack people with reckless abandon. It is good to make this distinction because among the Fulani are successful lawyers, doctors, engineers etc who have made their marks in their different professions. Therefore it is even more criminal to categorise all Fulani as herdsmen as ACF has attempted to do while attempting to denigrate Afenifere’s communiqué.

What we ask for is mutual respect, understanding and peaceful coexistence among all peoples of our great country. A situation where a group of people raid people’s farms and destroy their crops without let or hindrance leaving behind trails of blood and sorrow is no longer acceptable.

While we call on the security agencies to be brave enough to perform their duties without fear or favour, let it be clearly stated that the usual antics of the ACF to cow other regions the way they have succeeded in emasculating leaders of North-Central has failed, and the warning of Afenifere should be heeded to forthwith as to do otherwise could degenerate into an unwanted state of mass retribution for the criminal Fulani herdsmen.

Ok

I sorry for Nigerian youths as they have no place in this government. They were simply lied to and used. Tinubu has his entire family including his wife in government. Now, Lie Mohammed equally has his son already in Lagos govt and now wants to take the ministerial slot for kwara state. So much for change while the youths who really worked are left with nothing.

So father and son are being rewarded by the APC for lying their way to power thereby neglecting the youths who truly brought about the change in power. Nigeria youths, una sorry

And your military has power only when brutallizing innocent civilians. Cowards

Another lie from the pit of hell. The scriptwriter is gradually getting confused on how to finish with this epic drama. The so called girl has no name , no pic et al. This APC deception is funny

Enedu Aniagwu, we dey miss your insightful analysis embellished with proverbs on political platform. Congrats on your appointment.

@ Anamcity, Investnow2013, please attention of the government is need in Akaboezem, Uruagu Nnewi as the major road that connects from Nkwo Nnewi - Oraifite is in a very deplorable condition. The road was last asphalted during Mbadiniju's era.

Abagworo is right here; the road from Nkwo Nnewi to Oraifite is in a deplorable condition and needs serious government intervention.

Akaboezem, the golden village. Respect to you guys
