Leaforever: It was during military rule in the 90s Governor Oyinlola (reknown thief) took over this land forcefully from its owners and sold it to others.
This judgement has been finalized at the supreme Court since 2012 so the house owners dt built there are aware of this. Some people already sold their houses to unsuspecting new buyers and moved, but everytime the real owners want to execute their supreme Court judgement, the rich people living there always stop it. The real landowners came to an agreement wt the house owners in 2017 (https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/05/30/scourt-judgement-shangisha-landlords-association-advise-homeowners-to-rectify-titles/), but it seems some have not fulfilled their part of the agreement.
Please take note: In order to curb fraudulent activities, No form of payment should be made or will be accepted unless after physical inspection and agreement. Thanks for your patronage.
sammyj490: I went to visit one of my friends in Ibadan on Sunday, I told him to fill up his generator tank because I don't like heat. We went to get fuel and turned on the generator.
When we got in, my friend started gisting me about his landlord's attitude towards him, the man called him one day and told him to stop bringing ladies home, he said the agent that got him the house lied to him that the landlord wasn't staying in the same compound, it was after he paid and already moved in he discovered the landlord was living in the same compound, at this point he had no choice anymore since he had already moved in, and ever since then the man has being given him different problems. I advised him to try enduring till his payment is due and move out of the house.
While we were gisting it was around some mintues past 12, we suddenly heard a loud bang on his window, had to pause the ps3 we were playing out of the shock, I already located the next available weapon incase someone was trying to play funny.
My friend went to check who was banging on the window only to discover it was the landlord, he said why would my friend's generator still be on by that time. My friend ignored him and the next thing this man did was turned off the Gen, at this point myself and my friend got very annoyed especially because i was about to win the FIFA we were playing, had to follow my friend out to see what's going on.
This man bought a mat outside and lay down beside the generator. It was when my friend told the man I was a military officer from Kano who came visiting that this man stood up and composed himself, he reluctantly went inside when he saw my strong face.
My friend turned on the generator again and when we got inside we started laughing about the whole situation, if not that my friend had lied that I was a military personnel this man would have left his wife and children inside his house just to sleep beside the generator to prevent us from turning on the generator...
Crazy people everywhere...P.S we later replayed the game and i lost...
NwekeUG: Folorunsho Alakija's Husband Suspended By Ikoyi Club For Physical Assault
Mr Alakija reportedly slapped a member of the club whom he accused of disrespecting him. This led to a scuffle between the duo and disruption of peace within the club.
Anybody can get angry at anytime. Hope he resolves the issue with the person who was slapped. The ability to just walk away when provoked is the main key here.
omoharry: Haba!! Were you not here when the ENDSARS was suddenly turned against the Igbos ? There were so many write-ups then- that the Igbos instigated the destruction that took place in Lagos . Where were you ? Maybe you have not joined Nairaland then. This accusation extended beyond Nairaland..to Facebook , Instagram & Twitter . We should call what happened a very sad event but so many Yorubas suddenly turned against the Igbos .
This is all in the past NOW and many Yorubas know what happened and DO NOT blame Ibos. It is Nnamdi Kanu's very CARELESS radio broadcasts that initially misled the Yorubas into thinking that there was a major Ibo involvement in the Lagos mayhem of October 2020.
To be very clear on this, Nnamdi Kanu made very inflamatory LIVE comments on his radio station calling for the destruction of specific properties and attacks on high profile politicians in Lagos and elsewhere. The audio recording of Kanu's live radio broadcast went viral online and this is the main reason that it was initially thought there was a major Ibo involvement. Although several Ibos took part in the END SARS protests in Lagos and some could be heard clearly singing a defiant biafra war song at the Lekki Toll gate when the Nigerian Army soldiers arrived despite the fact that the Lagos State Governor had issued executive instructions for a curfew to commence from 4pm then later extended!
The picture became clearer later when the uncertainties and social media or online rumours had died out days!

Nigeria will be immediately removed from the world's financial system if EFCC no longer exists. Many countries were blacklisting Nigerian banks from their financial systems, many of the smaller banks had already been removed from SWIFT. One of the requirements for integration when Obasanjo came in was to establish EFCC and ICPC as well as an NFIU.
People would not be so hot and bothered about this if they were not involved in fraud. Go to America and open a bank account and get 250,000 USD in, then tell the bank they should not perform enhanced due diligence
Word!
Glad you properly schooled that fellow and his ilk who are fretting over simple banking due diligence.
Asiwaju Tinubu was one of the greatest NADECO leaders... But the Northern masses are agitated by the massive insecurity as of today and will not vote for the old establishment.
Chad, Niger, Northern Cameroon, Mali have continued to pose a serious threat because of the weak internal security in those countries and porous borders that have led to many decades of influx of illegal aliens and small firearms.

Onikan is perched on the Lagos lagoon and is a melting pot of some sort. It is also the business and banking hub of Lagos.
Grayoso: It was not Ojukwu as OP stated. It was Azikiwe who never denied what he did and even bragged about it.
Documented History is there to educate us and remind everyone of the role our fathers and grandfathers played in getting us where we are today. OP is however totally correct that the actions of Igbos is directly responsible for where Nigeria is today.
I would add that the North, right behind Igbos, is the next main culprit for the negatives attached to where Nigeria is today.
The North partnered with Azikiwe to frustrate Awolowo.
The last chapter below shows why Igbos are an unreasonable people who would go on to blame Yorubas, till today, for their civil war loss while it was Azikiwe who made Ojukwu's attempt at secession unconstitutional and treasonous meaning Nigeria had to go to War against Biafra.
I just wonder when you Igbos will ever develop the decency and honesty to apologize to others for what you did instead of continuing to present yourselves, till today, as victims of Yoruba "betrayal" when your grandfathers and fathers were the historically verified betrayers.
IGBOS MARGINALISATION OF NIGERIANS *THIS IS THE REASON WHY HAUSAS, YORUBAS, EDO AND THE NIGER DELTA MAN WILL NOT TRUST THE IBO MAN AT THE CENTER AND WHY THE HAUSAS MAY NOT WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER IN NIGERIA* Any historians in the house to vet this: Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance? Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria; Chief of Army Staff was from SE Chief of Naval Staff was from SE IG of Police was from SE Chief of Defence Staff was from SE Internal Affairs Minister SE External Affairs Minister SE Education Minister South SE Many other key ministries to SE Parliament President SE Unilag VC from SE The University of Ibadan VC from SE North resisted same at ABU! Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!! Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed. Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it! We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts. *What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"* Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. *“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then but some ignorant or selfish people limit their accusations to only Abdussalam Abubakar constitution that give birth to current democratic govt. Today, they're shouting restructuring that they helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*. WHAT SOME GROUP OF PEOPLE WILL NEVER TELL U ABOUT THEIR WOES The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended. To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country". Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe. But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable. After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned. It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him. Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here is a quote: "From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa" Northerners have clearly known this & will never succumb to cheap political trick, how can u call us backward and at the same time asking us to go back to 1963 constitution talkless of even amending the current constitution?

The Oba (king) never dies.
The international business mogul and a great son of Owu, High Chief 'Bolu Akin-Olugbade's translation from Covid complications in January 2021 is still a big blow though.
