Seun:
Dear Igbo People,

I sincerely apologize for allowing a toxic political banner advert which said, "Lagos can never be run from Anambra; go and vote" to run on Nairaland for several hours on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

The mischievously worded banner advert appears to have been part of an ethnically divisive political campaign aimed at securing Lagos State for the ruling party by instilling fear in Yoruba people, making them believe that Igbo people intended to "take over" Lagos State.

Such ethnically divisive political campaigns have no place in a forward-thinking democracy, and for this reason, the ad should have been taken down instantly. No harm was intended, but my lack of forethought about the ethics of that type of advert led to a disappointing outcome.

We should have had a clear policy against accepting negative and ethnically divisive ads on Nairaland, we should have communicated it to all advertisers, and we should have taken down any advert that violated that policy instantly. This will all be in place before the next election.

We made almost N16,000 from the ad. We will double it and donate it to victims of political violence in Lagos.

Please, do NOT give up on Nigeria. The times are challenging, but TOGETHER, we will overcome.

Sincerely,
Seun Osewa.

Get out with your stupid apology.

IfeomaOnu1:
Due to the barage of tribalism, ethnicity and insults that have flooded this forum lately, my mental health is affected. l think l need a break here.

I will appreciate if any one can suggest an alternate forum that is interactive to get news and other update.

Thanks in advance

Honestly there is nothing to learn from the forum. Just agbero language and behaviour. Just unethical things. I don't understand.

Brek:
I'm saying it's true
Everytime I open a forum about igbo history you will see one idiot saying that they have none or they were just slaves. Open something negative about igbos IPOB or Biafra and it will reach to the front page
Say something negative about yorubas and Hausa and they will delete it and ban you

Then boycott the Forum.

You never planned for the high office, that was why you messed up the whole place. Brought Nigeria into unimaginable crisis.

I am rooting for Sanwoolu for second term....I am also certain he will win.


That said...This MC Olumo's action is unfortunate and should be condemn by all.

I know Police will not pick him...but, it will be good..even, if it's for media ops...he should be called for questioning and severely warned.

This is just terrible!

The guy don't have sense. We have seen people that did more than this before, how did they end up. He had gotten a little money I expect him to play a little safe. No, he wants to always impress his pay masters. A family man with grown up children.

The Billionaires Behind Tinubu Risking A Revolution
By SKC Ogbonnia
March 15, 2023

The meeting of some Nigerian billionaire businessmen, notably, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, and Femi Otedola with Bola Tinubu, an illegitimate president-elect, is as insensitive as it is provocative. That is impunity gone too far. As if the show of shame lacks in folly, Mr. Elumelu—the poster vainglory of the Nigeria’s shady banking system—had the affrontery to share a video of his family hosting the number one enemy of the Nigerian youths. What an eye-sore!! What a social miasma!!

The same Tony Elumelu is alleged to have weaponized his huge influence at the United Bank for Africa (UBA) to morph up the millions of scarce new notes which Tinubu deployed to rig the 2023 presidential election. This brazen sleaze took place at the time the ordinary customers of the bank were sleeping 24 x7 at its premises, begging to withdraw a few naira to feed their families.

The immediate consequence has been a move by some people to boycott the UBA where Mr. Elumelu serves as chairman. A boycott is commendable and ought to be extended to Dangote and Otedola businesses, as well. Yet, such move is not as troubling as what could follow.

The fact of the matter is that the Nigerian masses have not only become wiser, but they also act wiser. The apparent endorsement of a sham election by these billionaire businessmen is not being viewed as business as usual. The ordinary Nigerian people now know their true enemies, and they are very angry.

The masses are angry that their long-awaited opportunity to produce a leader of their choice is being sabotaged by corrupt politicians in cahoots with their cohorts in the private sector. The anger is most merited because even as the country has hit the rock bottom under President Muhammadu Buhari, these double-dealing mercenaries are colluding to foist a successor, who is destined to be worse than his predecessor.

The most provoking is that Dangote, Elumelu, Otedola and co are keenly aware that Tinubu never hesitated to make it known his intention to continue the Buhari policies that rendered the country hopeless. They are very aware that Tinubu is an invalid who no longer exhibits the physical nor the mental capacity to lead a nation like Nigeria. They are also aware that the man is the country’s shadiest politician ever to stand a presidential election, let alone winning one.

Combine the above with a myriad of evidence that points to the gospel truth that the former Lagos State governor did not win the presidential election. Follow that with the fact that the plot to impose a corrupt kingpin cum drug lord on the Nigerian people only goes to further damage the country’s image around the world. The explains the thick cloud of shame that has engulfed the Nigerians living in the Diaspora since the illegal declaration of Tinubu as president-elect.

Despite these existential misgivings which are bound to worsen the condition of the ordinary Nigerians worldwide, the money bags are hellbent on backing Bola Ahmed Tinubu as president-elect. But the reason for the do-or-die support is not far-fetched. It is an open secret. Institutionalized corruption has been the sole raison d'être for the success of the respective business empires of these tycoons. They simply want to stay the status quo of lawlessness that made it possible for them to accumulate huge wealth at the expense of the poor masses. Thus, they are resisting the change that a vast majority of Nigerian people voted for.

But, again, the Nigerian masses have become wiser. They recognize that the attempt to impose Tinubu is an existential threat. They now recognize that there must be consequences for bad behavior. They can now relate to an admonition by the then sitting Minister of Transport, Rotimi Chubuike Amaechi, that Nigerian leaders have continued to misbehave because the followers do not “stone” them. But the most relative and most instructive is the genius of a former American president, John F. Kennedy, who said that “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

The point of this matter is short and simple. Barring the desired change from the status quo, a mass revolution of global consequence is imminent in Nigeria. Commonsense dictates that the masses—home and abroad—are merely waiting for the outcome of the court cases challenging the sham election. And, as recent events have shown, any “violent revolution”, as Kennedy had admonished, will not be a conflict between the tribes or between the Christians and Muslims, as Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu would wish. The common enemy are the ruling elite and their influential sympathizers. Stay tuned…!

Are you surprised at Tony Elumelu. Go check his history/profile from Stbank or even before you will understand.

Kenneth4u205:
There is nothing like dead zone my Yoruba Muslim brother. Dubai was a desert land 20 years ago .but today the biggest city.

He will never understand you, because he has a close mind. He is not adventurous person. Human beings are meant to explore . Even in that place he is sitting now, he has not succeeded in doing any thing. His only occupation is to cause trouble. Igbos no be his mate.

searchng4love:
85% of Yoruba markets must indeed return to the indigenous people of the region. Enough is enough of handouts but time for effective and efficient take over of our economic assets.... Yoruba nation must wake up within the comity of nations in the Nigerian State.

I thought your people don't trade. Trading is meant for people that uses two by two shop . Our people full government positions is no longer the slogan. So trading is now attractive. Ignorance is a disease.

Cholls:
My brother nice one. Obi fell on the wrong side of history in the southwest

South west is known for Political babarism. It did not start today. Go and read Wild wild west history. If they don't see non indigenes to exibit the trade on, they exchange among themselves. They will tell you that Kwara and kogi Yorubas are not real Omoulabi.

Strafudeen:
Stupid bleaching governor. Ewu awusa

More stupid that I thought. The man that built more than seven flyovers on one single Federal highway. Not even one single flyover inside Abakaliki town. But he quickly ran to live in new Abakaliki capital city( Centenary city) built by another governor, Martin Elechi to be precise , abandoning the old government house during the endsars. I thought he said President Buhari promised to make him president. I don't know why Peter Obi effects did not catch up with him. People like this should give way to the new order. He had been PDP Ebonyi state chairman, Deputy governor and governor for eight years. It's time he gives way for others.

gidgiddy:


Nobody knows for sure who assasinated him or why but definitely the Ebeano family and Chimaroke had the most to gain by him being out of the way

please what type of gain is that Human life for politics .

manutdrichie:


You still dont get it, i dont think you will in the next 100yrs

Do you think the millions of people that voted Obi are all easterners?

You don't need to respond to some these narrow and myopic minded individuals. Leave them to wallop in their ignorance.

jaybenugo:


https://igberetvnews.com/1440546/drinking-40-year-old-whiskey-atiku-marched-inec-protest-wike/

When Peter Obi said that some millionaires and billionaires usually come to government to drink expensive champagne, that a bottle such champagne cost as much 400k, some people said he was lying. Do you how much the 40-years-old whiskey will cost. That's what Wike drinks with public fund.

Metaphor44:
Why the protest pls?
I don't get. I thought you guys won, so why the protest again or u just want to feel among since LP and PDP protested?

They are the counter protest group mobilized and kept by APC , thinking Obidients will troop out in protest against the Inec induced Presidencial result. Since they did not get what they expected. They have to explode to justify the mobilization fees already paid.

AcuraZDX:
All these shenanigans really show that Peter Obi won this election.

Where is the Jagaban Army that he was bragging about?

Abii APC no get Supporters again?

At last they have found out, that it's not what intimidation and violence can do. They are subdued.

Mufasa27:

I no get shigbain but I better pass your papa and your uncles for village, e sure me die... Yorubas no dey shook mouth for una matter, I mean no sane yoruba man go talk say e wan leave lagos, the business hub of the country or Ibadan go awka or Abakaliki lol, it's a backward reasoning... Make everybody hold his/her side we no dey ask for too much

This boy from Kwara State, rest naa. No reasonable Yoruba person talks like this, it's either you no go school or you are not urban person. You are so narrow minded and myopic.

Totilopussylick:

Who wants to recognize illegitimate Inec induced president elect.

Nayturalistic:
See this Yeye Ibos and SS with another mumu propaganda. Una whey no fit let an Ebonyi man become Governor in Enugu sef de talk about tribalism lmao..

Make una just stop all this stupid talks, else all this go blow back right on you all. You don’t mess with peoples culture and heritage and call their land a No man’s Land.

Is Gbadebo Igbo man Your head just dey hot for nothing.

ImperialYoruba:
Thats nothing but a designed bamboozle, igodye should stay in comedy, and not cross into politics.

When ibos in Anambra deny Ibos in Enugu from contesting election. When catholic diocese in one ibo state reject a bishop appointed from another ibo state. When people of Ebonyi reject an Ibo from Anambra from taking position as Vice Chancellor of a University on their soil, these are all fine.

Ibo is denied Lagos post, now its all of sudden ok for almajiri, as you call them, to be governor in iboland.

Una dey craze. Didnt you just call, towards end of last year, for all fulani in iboland to vacate and return to North?

Is Gbadebo Igbo
