That same ethnic bigotry has gotten to petty levels of street renaming. It's so petty and divisive but in due time, they will reap what they sowed. When it start, people shouldn't forget APC, Tinubu and his gangs caused this.

Take responsibility for the major part you and your people played in getting us here. Stop making empty threats. Do your worst. We dare you.

tpain121:
Yorubas should learn how to be industrious like the igbos rather than being jealous and envious.

They are the ones stoking those ethnic tensions/hatred, and their bigot in chief is not saying anything about it, because it serves his political interests.

Yorubas should learn to be industrious like the Igbos? Talk about ignorant belief in one's own hype. Spin that discredited BS to ignorant and unenlightened folks.

This issue has been put to bed long ago, and so many times, as nothing other than the factually discredited figment of imagination of an emptily megalomaniac people.

Or you think selling fake electronics in Alaba and running God is good transport is the only indicator of industriousness? You people are something else.

EvilMerodack:
We are the biggest and so what?

China, Korea and Japan are the most conservative countries in the world. How many of your 'detribalized countries' are above them in Tech and Economy?

How many of your detrialized states is above Lagos and Ogun in Tech and Economy?


Dude, nobody cares about this nomenclature anymore, what counts is the Economic power and they have it

Bro, I don't even know why they, acclaimed "supermen" of the World, are whining like toddlers. Whatever they claim Yorubas are doing, they have our express permission to retaliate and do same to us.

It is not today some of us have been warning them that they will really feel it when the progressive and sophisticated Yorubas they have mocked, denigrated and fought against in their own land, for so long, begin to say enough is enough.

This is a cold war whose only winner can be the side that needs the other for nothing at all whereas the side that will lose, and lose big, is that which relies on the opponent for everything from safe place to live, grow and rasie families to market presence to sell their goods as the glorified migrant traders and shopkeepers they are.

"Make your bed, lay in it." Simple and that is what we are seeing now.

2mch:
Amotekun is already battling them. Guaranteed they are not Yoruba. But the ones in the East are 100% Igbos kidnapping Igbos.

Bruv, you should not have responded. Let them start their own thread of ethnic mischief and let them alone be the only contributors.

Some of us are enjoying the way things are playing out now with the instigators, pretending to be victims, now crying.

"No man's land", they mocked others with for decades in the pas, is no longer on their lips.

We are all seeing the result of their folly through the ethnic cold war some of us predicted would descend upon Nigeria inevitably.

Some people do not realise those they are bitter enemies of will never be on the losing side for the fact no one ever loses to those who need them more and cannot survive without them.

Let them carry on their antics online. We ain't online with action.

Kewekubosineh:
Oh...so, you don't know he's saying the Truth?

Sad, APC is ready to sell CBN for 2027 Presidential wins.

So desperate party!

With the situation indicating Atiku and his bunch of desperado can still port to SDP, AAC, TFC, KFC etc, how many independent Ministers will Government have left after dashing 3 or so to every Party they suspect Atiku and co will use for 2027?

SonofElElyonRet:
Lie! Nothing special about ADC. Coalition can use any registered party. Government would've been stupid to have offered you any compensation to stop the use of your party by opposition when there were other suitable options open to Atiku and Co. It was in every regard a fait accompli

Well-said. The Nwosu chap is a shameless and desperate liar. Atiku and co will eventually settle on a political party to use prosecuting their effort to gain the Presidency in 2027.

There is no guarantee that Political Party will be ADC come 2027. Who is then dumb enough to believe they offered this man 3 Ministerial slots to deny Atiku use of ADC when Atiku and co could even move elsewhere before 2027?

So the Government will just keep dashing 3 or more Ministerial slots to any Party that hints it is ready to accommodate Atiku and co?

Some of these guys, likely not very intelligent themselves to begin with, must assume Nigerians are as dumb as Wild Boars in the Forest.

MissOpe:
Source please....
Anybody can come to the internet and claim anything these days

Not me Madam. I don't engage in that. The fact is that Governments do this all the time across the world.

It has always been the case because of prevalent economic condition that makes politicians willing to use the expulsion of immigrant, sincerely or otherwise, to achieve a desired outcome .

Trump is even engaged in this act right now.

Ofunaofu:
Is Wike principled?

Oga, your question strays into the realm of subjective argument. Wike has declared the reason he will not run against PBAT.

His utterances make perfect sense to those who are principled and objective enough to relate with the sensible reason he has given.

So far most folks are not mind-readers, they can give Wike the benefit of the doubt without trying to make everything about what he did or said in 2002.

You Obi fans should even be most predisposed to accepting Wike's utterances about not running against PBAT because Obi is a notorious liar and unprincipled hypocrity, "the day I leave APGA is the day I die" for example, yet you insist today all his utterances are sincere and gospel truth.

dude:
You seem to lack simple comprehension. Where in his political or personal history has Wike ever demonstrated sound principle. His explanations lack meaning when analyzed against his political history. Did he demonstrate any principle to his relationships with the Amaechi's, Odili's or Jonathan's ? You can't be so naive to belive a political rhetoric as bolded. A simple glimpse at the political terrain will reveal Wike has no chance. He is not known to throw away any political opportunity that will favour him. He went solidly against an Amaechi under who he served as Local Government chairman, Chief of staff and was nominated as a minister. Wasted no time in turning against him when federal politics so dictated. Similarly recently sent verbal insults at the Odili's and Jonathan's who in no small measure saw him to being Governor and influencing the judiciary for him. Or where was such principle when he openly worked against his own party at the 2023 elections Not stopping their, he accepted an appointment the present administration while remaining a member of the PDP. How with a sane natural mind do.you equate such an individual with any kind of principle? You are either operating from a position of advanced ignorance or simply not being honest

I have no comprehension deficit. Perhaps you do. Wike has made his stance clear.

You are the one who fails to accept that because the bolded in your post, which clearly shows you to be an emotional and sentimental character, has shown you clearly have issues with him and wish to drag Wike by fire by force.

Good luck to you because, minus being mind-readers, most principled and objective folks would give Wike the benefit of the doubt and accept his explanation for why he will not run against Tinubu rather than continue insisting otherwise.

MissOpe:
It was Ghana must go, now it's Igbo/ Nigerians must go...
What is good for Greece is good for Uganda...

Accept it in good fate and leave your host country..
No be by force ehhh

Ghana deported Nigerians first from their nation. We must always bear this fact in mind to have an accurate perspective on issues rather than speak ignorantly and erroneously as if Ghana is retaliating to something Nigeria did to them first.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
The Yoruba mainly çaeey the brunt of their stupid one Nigeria and we have to put an end to it.

They not only impede but are actually making us stagnant

It's gotta stop by hook or crook.

Most Yorubas, especially leaders who have power and influence, now agree with your bolded. For us, we are fed up of 'One Nigeria' we view as only capable of perpetually enslaving all Nigerians in mediocrity, under-development and failure.

For us, the Horse has fled the stable and Yorubas no longer wish to return to Egypt. Below is what we want and, as a resourceful and principled people, will gain. Only a question of time.

Our pursuit of what is shown below did not start from the 2021 public demand of all SW Governors.

It began formally through the convening of the DAWN commission circa 2012 -2013 when the Yorubas were in opposition .

The same agitation for regional autonomy has endured, below, to 2021 when the SW was part of the centre and no longer in opposition.

This shows, to those who have commonsense, Yorubas principled and enduring dedication to a cause in contrast with those who change mouth daily per what they want.

This is another development that confirms Obi is a simpleton surrounded by simpleton who, together, believe all Nigerians are simpletons like them.

How unbelievably crude is the argument that serving others food predispose an individual to being the best President the biggest black nation on earth can gain?

dude:
He simply can't win. All the odds are firmly stacked against him. The PDP has lost many of it heavy weight membership drive to the ADC while others have defected to the APC. Even some of the few left are not exactly his allies. I.e, Bala Mohammed. Having studied the political terrain, Wike knows he has no chance of winning presidential election even if he grabs the PDP ticket. It must be known that Wike has NO permanent loyalty to anyone. Amaechi, Odili, Jonathan and others who were once his benefactors all now stand subject of insults. If he thought he had any good chance. Wike will waste no second on contesting against Tinubu and throwing him put of power.

You are driving against traffic over a matter that is very simple. Wike is a stand-out appointee of Tinubu who has now become a fervent supporter of what the PBAT Presidency is trying to achieve.

He has resolved to work for this Presidency to complete a maximum two terms he believes will benefit Nigerians immensely.

No principled individual contests against a boss they believe is doing well. Rather they look to take over from that boss when his/her tenure is over.


Wike's has exhaustively explained his decision to not contest against Tinubu. Nothing at all to do with the bolded in your post.

nothingspoil70:
Wike already made it clear he can't work against Tinubu, he will rather wait till 2031.same with Fayose, they have both pledge to support Tinubu in 20227 but 2031 is when the action begins for these two.

Precisely. Wike has stated this repeatedly.

flyinnizam:
Nlfpmod
Fergie001
What do you think if Wike challenge Tinubu or he does not have the balls

Wike has said he has ruled himself out of challenging for the 2027 Presidency because he is a supporter of Tinubu's Presidency he believes is best for Nigeria and deserves a second term. It is as simple as that.

Aify147:
Na them sabi na. they should buy generator or solar, or wait till the work is over. Pls, how do I treat this stubborn dandruff on my head?

No need for solar or even Gen for non-commercial users of power. Most should be able to wait-out the period as you said because the outage period and time is know in advance. I.e roughly lasting one month between 8.00am to 5.00pm daily.


People in the affected areas have been given notice professionally and should plan themselves properly especially as it seems they will be the winners afterwards with more efficient and stable power supply.

The Omotosho–Ikeja West 330 kV line carries bulk power from the Omotosho Power Station in Ondo State to the main transmission hub in Ikeja, Lagos. Upgrading this vital corridor with fibre‑optic grounding wire will improve grid stability, reduce future faults and enhance data communications for the power network.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
They didn't know that they have woken up the beast in the Yoruba.
It may take them time to react but once they decide it's enough, they don't look back until they achieve their mission

Absolutely. Most Yorubas are now fed up of 'one Nigeria' because we know it is impeding our progress and preventing us being the greatest we can be.

Igbos, because they can never read the changing mood of others, have ramped up their incendiary antics, they had always gotten away with before, at a time more and more Yorubas now support what is shown below.

Agitation from from 202I yet Igbos still went on to carry on running battles with Yorubas over GRV in Lagos 2023 election confirming, as I said, that they are insensitive and simply can never read the mood in the room because of that.

At a time more Yorubas believe we are impeded from becoming as developed as we have the potentials to be in the SW, Yoruba will of course be inclined to react even more strongly against those who , with a sense of entitlement, wish to be laying claims on any corner of the SW.

We are now thinking everyone should go and develop their own region optimally rather than Nigerians, as obtained before, thinking they can simply flee misrule they fail to challenge to go and burden others doing the right things per governance.

You cannot proudly and unapologetically mire your own region in insecurity to then believe you can flee to the SW and be dragging with your Yorubas hosts there.

This is not a good time for Igbos to continue their traditional "no man's land" pontifications with Yorubas. Walahi.

Charlchuks:
Funny how you noticed he always try to blame the Yorubas and it makes you feel angry..... [b]Yet you turn a blind eye when your own people heaps blame on the igbos [/b]about every single thread posted on this forum..... Such hypocrisy..... We deserve our leaders

I am not Nairaland police. Fell free to call out posters, similar to Kettykin, who use virtually every single post they deliverer here to denigrate other ethnic groups.

Fujiyama:
^^^
Nigerians aren't 'great'. Nigeria herself isn't great either.

Those qualities you mentioned (self-belief, confidence etc). aren't unique to Nigeria. Other nations have these qualities too.

Of course Nigerians are great from the perspective that their achievements in the diaspora stands out impressively.

I believe you're simply being pedantic because it it citizens of host nations who note this about Nigerians and not Nigerians blowing their own trumpets.

Per the bolded, yes others have those qualities too, but in varying degrees. It is not a case of seeking to denigrate others.

You may be displeased by what you consider bragging but Nigerians don't say these things about themselves. Other say it with their own mouths about Nigerians. Go and argue with them.

Irony1:
You people should stop trying too hard with propaganda. UN will declare world Amotekun day...... They may as well declare World Tamil Tigers day.

Okay na. All na propaganda. Just know that wise and humble men learn from what others are doing better than them.

Whereas arrogant, megalomaniac and emptily pompous individual fail serially because they dismiss the need to learn from others as they believe they are better than all else. That is the case with you lot.

RollinTNDA:
ESN walked so that AMOTEKUN could fly
ESN started it and others followed

I remember when ESN first started
They were heavily ridiculed and critizied
Now every state is following their model.

Akeredolu wife is from imo state
You can see how she inspired Akeredolu to create Amotekun for Yorubas the same way igbos created ESN

Betty Akeredolu low-key influenced a lot of Akeredolu decision in govt.

Igbos are trend setters
Tho they lack the cohesion and are easily targeted with Federal might.
They are truly 4 steps ahead into the future

ESN might have been politically destroyed but there imprint on AMOTEKUN will ever live long. God bless AMOTEKUN!!!
ESN has been in existence since 2020
Operating as local vigilantes without support
They weren't Official like Amotekun that got full state support and funding.

That is why I said Igbos have the Fore sight
But lack the unity and cohesion to carry it

They decided it make it Official late Dec 2022
They have been in operation way back to 2020

@LegendHero.

Bro, do you see what I am talking about in regards to how they will engage in whataboutism rather than profound soul-searching?

Imagine a sane person comparing a guerilla menace, with no legal recognition or empowerment, to Amotekun recognised and birthed by our national legislative authority?

Can people now see that some people have serious issues that means they will аlways go from one disaster to the next?

LegendHero:
Amotekun Amotekun Amotekun.

This is fantabulous.

Wait, what about Ebube Agu abi na ESN? When they go recognize them?

They go soon accuse UN of tribaleeesm.

Lol. Those ones just became a menace to society. Kidnapping, robbery, extra-judicial killing, extortion. You name it and they were involved in it before being disbanded.

They are quick to copy Yorubas without understanding the difference, between success and failure, is the difference in our natures which means they will fail where we succeed where we do.

That is what is called the human element and it is the reason I know Yorubas will fly sky high under regional autonomy.


Rather than learn from Yorubas, they prefer to envy, hate and denigrate us. When you tell them to fix up they attack you.

These sort of development should make them reflect deeply yet they lack the ability to introspect so I know distractive whataboutism is the only thing they will contribute on this thread that should spark very sad soul-searching in them .

gerizzim:
the way we place value on money has to do with our mindest.
If you are the type when no dey see money esp if your Frm a poor home.
you will always fault sm1 when he spends excessively.

Giving has to do with our much you place value on the person you wnt to give to or to that occasion.

the girls where on national assignment and they delivered esp the way dt final match went.
You cnt place a price on National pride.

because we are use to suffering and seeing small small money. When somtin big comes in an unusual way we say it is too much.

those ones among them dt plays abroad won't say is to much because them dey see the money steadily. It may look too.much for those.ones that are still playing in local league.

Correct talk. Oshoala was reportedly on around 45 to 50k USD monthly while at Barcelona.

How is it too much, considering the achievement, to give her 100k USD which is two months worth of her former salary for helping Nigeria become African champion?

If foreign-based Nigerian Falcon deserve that reward then their Naija-based companion must get no less than the same 100k USD also.

This is all just noise of people who don't see the big picture and are only looking at what appears big financial reward .

Olu1000:
It was a bit excessive! 50k usd would have been better for the players and 25k usd for the technical staff !

You suggest 50k USD for the Falcon yet others will insist it must be 25k , 10k or even 2k USD.

Rewarding the Falcon generously, is a good thing to do to keep motivation high and encourage athletes to be interested in representing Nigeria which would then help Nigeria become a powerhouse of African Sports.

PBAT did well.

vanbonattel:
Everyone in Nigeria also thinks same.

God bless Peter Obi

Keep deluding yourself.

Gentledove2001:
Is it only in Nigeria that people use lamba (empty talk) to deceive and brainwash others? Elsewhere, politicians campaign based on their achievements. But this Igbo-adopted president has never campaigned on how he supposedly transformed Anambra into a "low-budget Dubai." Instead, he's busy quoting statistics from other countries he even compared Nigeria to Bangladesh. No be juju be that?

This so-called Igbo-adopted president has never once mentioned a world-class hospital or school that he built in Anambra, yet he wants to turn Nigeria into Dubai overnight. Meanwhile, his Obidient noise-makers keep bullying anyone with a different opinion. The hate they've built will surely manifest in 2027.

God bless you for this brilliant post. To even accentuate their nauseating bigotry, I can name many Igbos here who were passionately and vehemently critical of Obi when he was Governor of Anambra.

Yet today they are fervently backing him to be President. What does that illogical behaviour portray to sane Nigerians?

ppogba:
As usual, you did not dissapoint. I noticed exactly the same thing and was about pointing out his hypocrisy to him until I saw your comment.

Kudos to you.
We will not allow some of them on this platform to re- write the history we know.

Amen bro. This thing na cold war. They know what they are trying to do codedly while trying to gaslight the Yorubas publicly.

Yet, those of us who think about the advantages and intact heritage we must leave our children know what we must do also.

iwaeda:
Those who think they will be here forever can continue with this act. My question is what are they trying to achieve.

Your opinion means nothing. No one knows tomorrow let alone the distant future. Yorubas are not thinking "forever" currently.

What is sure is that Yorubas today have noted the need to secure the future of their generations unborn from the covetous expansionism of those whose only way of engaging with others is "winner take it all" scheming.

An agenda they are forever attached to because of the need to gain dominant control over the land and asset of others rather than embrace the best global standard practice of migrant partnering with those they met on ground to evolve just and progressive society for all.

It's just the beginning. More still ahead.
Lagos is redefining it's Pedigree.

Absolutely. Some people are now being challenged to prove that their slur that "Lagos is no man's land" is valid and not mere braggart noise only.

Instead , like empty barrels, they are now crying and gnashing teeth when given the chance to prove na dem "own" Lagos.

Morenikeji090:
Wow I love this may God bless my people…. Please continue I can’t wait to see many of this and other things change so fast… God bless government of Lagos state and bless southwest and all yoruba land… one love oduduwa sons and daughters….

Bro, Obasa warned them, after they showed their hand in the 2023 election blindly backing the bigoted GRV to take over Lagos, but they took no heed as an egotistic people who always underestimate and disregard others.

Yoruba conservatism is on the rise as a result of the negative and malevolent energy others paid us back with, for decades now, when they took our liberalism, tolerance and accomodating mien for mumuism.

Their 2023 election folly with GRV, when they wanted to prove they are now bigger than Yorubas in Lagos, broke the Camel's back. After that, many Yorubas vowed openly, "never again". As Obasa did below.

No man’s land: Lagos Assembly will make laws to protect indigenes — Obasa
8th June 2023


The Lagos State House of Assembly will soon make laws that will protect the interest of the indigenous people of the state.

This was made known by speaker, Mudashiru Obasa in his acceptance speech after his re-election as the leader of the house.

Obasa said lawmakers would go to any length in protecting the state indigenes even if it meant reversing existing law, adding that laws passed by the assembly would be translated into the Yoruba language.

“Lagos is a Yoruba land as against the assertions of some people that it is a no man’s land.
