Yorubas are now correcting their mistake by begging the Igbos for forgiveness.
Supporting Igbo presidency in 2027 is the right thing Yorubas should do before it is too late.

Lenghty article with said Yoruba group not named once is what you have used to conclude Yorubas are "begging the Igbos for forgiveness".

Who begs for the forgiveness of others they have never wronged? Is it not you lot who should be begging Yorubas?

Keep swallowing amateurish and ludicrous propaganda straigbt from Upper Iweka. You have always been prone to that and that is why most of your leaders ar propagandist conmen.

highchief1:
the day u will have sense I wil buy one big goat and kill.So because wike is wrong or a bad person like u said all of us must now begin to misbehave.

His comment is shocking because of it's irresponsibility which must not be found in any rational adult.

Imagine Yarima deliberately trying to get away with wrongful action that must be condemned by all sane adults regardless of their religious, political or sectional affiliation.

No need guessing what those sort do in life because it cannot be anything to do with thinking and acting responsibly and respect for the rule of law that shapes efficient society.

princeade86:
Continue to be monitoring him since he humbled wike

Monitor what? A gun was found on him as he attempted to board a commercial flight that the cheapest of scanner would have detected and you are bringing up your delusional conspiracy theory.

Everything wrong he does after the confrontation with Wike, that is exposed, should be put down to monitoring ba? I dont know how you people are so good at reasoning upsside down and senselessly.

Dalohad:
How many times has Wike bypassed security protocols because he believes he is powerful enough to do anything and get away with it?

Uncountable number of times.

Can't you people ever face the matter at hand without resorting to making whataboutism excuses.?

Please comment on the unprofessional arrogance and high-handedness of Yarima, especially pertaining ro him being a member of our armed forces, or shut up abeg.

CodeTemplarr:
What is the use if you start and never complete it?
Thats my number one fear.
Number two is more of a worry about the other things that must suffer for that project to even attain a 50% completion.
Three, what kind of economic activity will the project spring up that will be resistant to the endemic rot in the system and adequately compensate for the capital input? I cant forsee any.
This is a purely political project.

Is any project ongoing currently not "purely political" to you emergency lovers of Nigeria because you are Indoctrinated to view it that way only since a "Yoruba Government" is in power?

thomas2024:
When you’re ready to speak the truth, I’ll be here. APC fraudulent government defender. Nigeria is the lowest country paying tax. You mean after the removal of fuel subsidy, after all the indirect income tax, after VAT, after stamp duty, despite the numerous natural resources. Give another excuse again🥳

Continue arguing driven by ignorance and prejudice. Lagos can never function optimally with a population twice the size her upper maximum population limit should be when she lack even 5% the infrastructure of the likes of London, Tokyo etal. That is a town planning and urban management fact.

Meaning your diatribe above is misguided and ignorant rubbish. Not surprised by your talk and take though because one main problem with Nigeria many have no identified is that Nigerians are an extremely prejudiced and intolerant people who then proudly pander to their prejudices, ignorance and emotions rather than reject them.

Once most Nigerians are biased against someone (PBAT) or something (the government, an ethnic group or religion for example) they can never see clearly to make cogent, logical and solutions-provision arguments.

Totally false, for thinking folks, the claim Nigeria is failing because of leaders and corruption alone.

The main problem of Nigeria is the deficient human resources, running across the populace and of course producing the leaders, that can never think logically, critically and in a dispassionately objective way to then be a solutions provider for himself, his fellow men and society whether in a leadership or follower role.


Here for example, we are talking about practical issues and you are foaming at the mouth over totally unconnected garbage about fuel subsidy removal, stamp duty etal yet you cannot argue soundly how to overcome the simple and direct problem of a State hosting far too great a population than she can cater for.

You are like Obi who, because of hate for the government of PBAT, goes to the North to deceive them "lack of opportunities" that is a "failing of Government" is their problem because he assumes they are m0r0ns up there who will vote him after patronising them.

Whereas me and you know one of the main problem of the North is uncontrolled child birth and lack of family planning that means many simply have too many children than they can physically/financially support optimally to become productive and positive members of society.

With Kidnapping, terrorism and banditry destroying the socio-economic framework of Nigeria, we are all seeing today the fallout of lying to ourselves and indulging what should not be indulged because of prejudice, insincerity and political correctness.

The same way Northerners need to face the truth to embrace family planning and end the Almajiris system is same way Lagos must accept that unchecked and uncontrolled influx of permanent migrants is problem that will ensure the state never works optimally and as the best megacities in the world do.

If many of you are asked to share your one bedroom flat, having only one toilet and one kitchen ,with 40 adults permanently then what miracle can you deploy to make that situation work year in and year out for the foreseeable future without concluding some must leave so you gain a manageable number of people living with you?

You mentioned genuine problems and concerns for lagos as a state...


Massive migration, overpopulation, citizen behavior etc. Non of it is directly related to people not paying tax or lagos state not generating enough revenue to handle one of it's basic responsibility!

Bro "basic responsibility" for any State directly correlates with management of acceptable burden a State is expected to be able to deal with.

It is unreasonable people who expect a State to be burdened unreasonably (humongous population explosion) to then insist said State must manage the physically unfeasible burden and keep managing such as it multiplies rapidly daily.

I politely asked you to consult knowledgeable experts for their opinion but you rejected that and repeated your previous argument verbatim.

That is AI's well-researched ideal population for Lagos with stated conservative and upper limit population for Lagos i.e her normal State management burden the state has the capacity to cope with.

Most of us would preferentially settle on conservative ideal population of 9.2 million which allows Lagos to be "comfortable, well-planned". Push come to shove we would accept upper limit that means Lagos would be "dense but functional' with 13.8 million people.

What on earth do you then call the 22-26 million estimated population of Lagos that is virtually twice what town-planning considers ideal populationof lagos (at 13.8 million) using models comparing cities of the world and successful management of population per size of geographical space?

Can't you then deduce that if Lagos is this unfeasibly burdened then more money should be availabke to her perhaps perhaps via tax payment from the many empty and ignorant noisemeaker who avoid paying taxes yet are most uncouth insulting Lagos and her leaders?

Look at images supplied and scroll to last two chapters of "Reality check" and "bottom line" to note the problems unfeasible population growth, via massive influx from other States, is causing Lagos that need the "infrastructure of Tokyo or Seoul" to deal with her current population yet does not have that and is unlikely to have such in 50 to 70 years even

Hope you now understand that nothing you argue here is making logical or solutions-provision sense.

3. Ideal Population for Lagos

Using urban Lagos ≈ 1,150 km²:

Conservative (comfortable, well-planned)

8,000/km² × 1,150 km² ≈ 9.2 million

Upper-limit (dense but functional)

12,000/km² × 1,150 km² ≈ 13.8 million

brain54:
To those above talking rubbish and nonsense about tax...


Did the lagos government complain the reason for not packing up the dirt and cleaning the road was because they don't have funds or that it is broke?


Lagos is one of the biggest beneficiary of taxation in Nigeria. Generating revenue to the tone of billions monthly. Lagos is a small state by size what do they do with all the money generated if they can't do basic things like keeping the state clean?


Is it until they tax people money out from their nose that they would work or do basic acts of governance like keeping the state clean?



Make una dey side nonsense even when you are suffering for it. Some of you are used to suffering though so I can't blame you!

There is no way you can keep a State clean when it is burdened unfairly by humongous inward migration, month on month and year on year, from other States of Nigeria.

Lagos cannot work magic against physical challenges and Nigerians tend not to never see this because most view themselves blameless while pointing the finger at leaders over everything.

There is no magic that can be worked to counter massive influx of people, in a short period of time, into a geographical space that cannot physically handle that near overnight population explosion.

It is not possible and it is Nigerians, because they are unreasonable and irresponsible plus largely ignorant, who believe the entire population of several states of Nigeria can be combined and squeezed into the smallest State in Nigeria with no serious negative consequences for town planning and urban management.

No need for redundant back and forth. Nairalander should simply get professional input, we all have to respect, by showning this post to urban, town and regional planning professionals plus experts in specialized fields like civil engineering, public health, and environmental science.

9jatriot:
Who remembers how the "Obidient" crew were openly wishing for a coup long before the inauguration in 2023? They were so confident that there would be no inauguration on May 29, 2023. While many of us dismissed it as wishful thinking, recent events suggest that an actual plot might have been in motion. The belief among the "Obidients" was that the military would seize power and hand it over to "Lamba King." Some hardcore supporters didn’t even care if power was handed to him—they just didn’t want Tinubu to rule.
I have reason to believe that if the DSS digs deeper, they’ll uncover more to this coup than what’s currently visible. Given how certain many of these "Obidients" were at the time, it would be very difficult for anyone to convince me that their main sponsors and key players aren’t involved in this coup plot.
I also suspect that figures like Emefiele and Malami will be implicated if this matter is thoroughly investigated. Additionally, I believe many of those involved in this alleged coup are also among those fueling insecurity across the country. Who knows? Maybe the ransoms they’ve been collecting from kidnappings were intended to fund this very cause.
To think that this plan was allegedly still in play from 2023 until September 2025 when someone came out to report is staggering.

No sensible person can dismiss your claim. Afterall we now know the coup plotters initially wanted to prevent the swearing in of Tinubu in February 2023 so this is not about any excuses of "bad governance" but a coup to prevent a Southerners of Tinubu's standing and independent-mindedness becoming President.

https://www.nairaland.com/8608810/suspected-coup-plotters-planned-truncate

Below also is Datti hyperventilating and literally pleading for power to be abused to prevent Tinubu being sworn in as President in 2023. Imagine if this radical and fundamentalist Mauritanian was politically powerful enough to carry out his heart desire?

https://www.nairaland.com/7622878/datti-swearing-tinubu-like-handing

One thing we do not understand is that most Nigerians are 'sleeping' through life and ignorant of the grave danger of how Nigeria has too many wicked and evil enemies-within, than is healthy for any nation to host, who do not want to see her succeed.

They are ready to kill millions even and precipitate a Rwanda-style ethnic genocide strife to get their evil ways.

This is why I keep begging Yorubas to wake up and unitedly demand regional autonomy before it is too late.

Imagine a Mauritanian bringing his lawless, dictatorial and brutish Somalia-like mentality to bear on Nigerian political affairs same way he advocated for the execution of homosexuals.

We are fcking around ignorantly in Nigeria and indulging many powerful demons and devils with only a few Nigerians truly aware of what is coming.

Even the desperation of Atiku, Tambuwal, Malami, Sule Lamido etal to directly jettison rotation agreement in 2023, to ensure Fulanis replace Buhari and continue in power, was effectively an attempt at a political coup after the South had perfectly obliged the North to enjoy 8 years in power.

ElSudani:
Things are the way they are because you and the people who throw thrash everywhere are basically the same. It is always other people's problem.
Your work that is paying your bills out of which you probably pay zero tax. Because that also is other people's problem.
You will suffer until you get sense.

Bless you Baba. What taxes do Nigerian pay when, factually, they are some of the biggest tax dodgers in the world who glorify in avoiding paying tax with the mentality that they are being smart and "street" by deliberately avoiding taxes while still happily gaslighting the government over failing to wipe their azzes for them?

What of the effort of the tax reform laws to collect taxes more efficiently from those who can afford to pay it but have avoided paying taxes as a culture of civic irresponsibility that has plaques Nigeria for decades?

Majority of Nigerians all condemned the new tax laws by default ignorantly and without inspecting issue intelligently and factually to note most ordinary folks are better under a new tax regime that is actually kinder and fairer to majority of employed Nigerians.

Nigerians are the worst globally for glorifying in wrong-going while pretending to be innocent victim who tout all problems as being 100% the fault of Government.

So when you park it what happens the next day
When you park today
Who parks tommorow
How many times do you need to park
You seee this stupid mentality of letting govt abdicate its responsibility after paying all taxes in this world is a problematic way of thinking

Why not hold them accountable . What your taxes for ? To come done of your car to roll up your sleeves in your way to work to park garbage. Bro you are not very normal ..

Citizens have no responsibilities they abdicate also? Do you know how many Lagosians do not pay LAWMA dues and simply dump thrash everywhere even in decent estates?

Paying "all the taxes in the world" my foot. Some of you are just shameless liars ready to say anything to shame Government you have been brainwashed to hate and blame for everything.

There was a thread the other day showing African nations paying the most taxes. South Africa and Morocco were top and some smart Nairalanders immediately drew similarities to why the two nations are efficiently run with good infrastructure.

Whereas Nigeria that has one of the lowest and most negligible rates of tax remittances in Africa is full of people like you lying about Nigerians, the biggest tax Dodgers in Africa, "paying all taxes in this world".

You can't even be factually honest and you wish to portray yourself a good governance advocate. You are a mischief-maker bro.

Do you know what tax to GDP ratio is and how it impacts provision of infrastructure and services such as waste disposal etal?

Nigeria has one of the lowest in Africa yet Mr.Good Government advocate is claiming up and down a majority tax-dodging people now "pay all the taxes in the world".

You are one of the problem of Nigeria and never part of the solution in so far as you cannot discern the big picture and continue to trot out the claim the Government is at fault always for every problem ailing our nation.

Nifemy4:
It was a nauseating sight for me to behold this morning . Somthing shifted in me , but it was of immense curiosity borne out of : why can’t we get it right for once in this country .

For context : Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria in terms of landmass and yet the richest state in west Africa. It’s a multibillion naira independent economy . Yet , what you find around is eye sore of garbage and soul crushing dirts like a pillar in the middle of the metropolis. This is suruelre , shitta roundabout .

If Lagos can’t get it right , then forget it . Nigeria can’t get it right . Cos Lagos is meant to be a prototype for other states .

The whole money in trillions made in this state is used to service one man’s greed —- no obvious development , nothing .

If you bring somone to Lagos for the first time , this is what they will see
The blacks indeed can’t govern . They lack the capacity . I d prefer if we still being colonized

Below is a huge pile of rubbish in Whitechapel London. I see so many like that across London with my own eyes and not "dem say dem say".

Ditto many Western megacities of the world like New York etal where waste disposal is an eternal challenge often the fault of unruly folks littering irresponsibly and dumping their refuse everywhere.

Yet your own instant and default conclusions is that "blacks indeed can't govern".

Whereas the Government of Lagos, despite huge challenges it faces because of over-rapid population explosion that will test the infrastructure of any city globally, continues to innovate to accolades from many West African nations coming to understudy what Lagos is doing well.

If you often settle upon the worst reason for judging yourself a failure, that is self-hatred and a tendency to look down on yourself or your kind since you have not considered anything else and went for what makes you seem inferior in comparison to others.

Applied to this scenario, a large part of the issue is to do with how filthy, thoughtless, irresponsible and lawless Nigerians are and not the failings of Lagos leaders.

mikeapollo:
I am not a fan of Tinubu, but you typed about Oando is largely false.
Oando is now an upstream oil and gas company dealing in the extraction and sale of crude oil. And Oando had been operating in the oil and gas industry since the 1990s, long before Tinubu became president in 2023!
Tinubu's performance in govt is not impressive to me, but that does not mean everybody bearing the name ''Tinubu'' must be victimized or lied against because of the poor performance of the president.

Well-said. Even if you are not enamoured with the performance of Tinubu, and I must add others are such as myself, you show the dispassionately rational and objective thinking that allow you see and speak up in support what is right with your submission in bolded fonts above.

Opposition to political leaders should not be personalised, malicious and evil.

SpiritedCheer:
Tinubu's government arrested Sowore for calling Tinubu a criminal. That's free speech. But a person can be sued when their free speech damages another person's reputation. Let Tinubu go to court, and prove his reputation has been damaged. He can't, because he is a criminal.

This really is a stunning show of illiteracy and tribal hatred against Tinubu. Calling someone a criminal, least of all the President of a nation, is not "free speech".

It is a character-damaging allegation the maligned Party is within his/her right to fight by bringing a formal charge of defamation of character against you which then requires you to clears yourself proving your allegation is correct and not malicious.

If you cannot prove your case you will be convicted showing that the law does not not view your allegation as "free speech" but a malicious attempt to damage the character and reputation of another seriously, perhaps beyond repair, for which you must be punished by law.

SpiritedCheer:
Ahmed Bola Tinubu is the most incompetent and criminally corrupt President Nigeria has ever had. In fact, incompetence does not explain the dire situation Tinubu has put Nigeria. He is enriching his family with the destruction of Nigeria. Tinubu’s nephew, Wale Tinubu, is the primary importer of refined petroleum products into Nigeria, though Oando Petroleum, through OVH Energy Marketing Limited. They export Nigeria's clean sweet, crude, and import cheap, dirty petroleum products. Tinubu subsequently enacted energy policy that massively increased price of petroleum products, thereby, creating huge profit for his family - and caused miserable hardship for the country. How much wealth is enough tor Tinubu! Tinubu knows only bribery and corruption. And the only thing that matches Tinubu's insatiable greed for self-enrichment is lust for power. He has used bribery of law makers to turn himself into virtual Dictator. Tinubu looks half-dead, but want to be President-For-Life. He has used bribery to turn the military and security service into his political thugs.

Can you spare us your ignorant tirade that makes no rational sense and is clearly only driven by ethnocentric hatred of others, next time?

Oando has existed long before Tinubu became President conducting the business it was formed to engage in.

Pretty sure you believe Tinubu created Oando after becoming President leading to this drivel.

Oando has existed since 1956 as Esso originally and it is only hatred of Mr.President and everything/everyone related to him responsible for this garbage thread.

There really should be a spambot for preventing hateful and nonsensical threads ever become live.

AMINDA:
I have since discovered that Tinubu's penchant for having sycophants singing the mandate song for him is borne out of low self-esteem. It also counts against him whenever he travels outside the country because his protocol team are probably too much in awe to guide and tutor him appropriately. He's treated as the king who had no clothes on but drew admirations from all his subjects as he walked majestically through the city. Who will be the little boy that will tell him the truth?

All this your frustrated noise and veiled insults against others still will not see Atiku or Obi in Aso Rock. Know that and be mentally healthy.

Phoen1X:
Have you checked to know why indirect rule by the British worked in all parts of Nigeria (except in the southeast It's because of none elitist way of government there, in other words,. The people leads here.

The bolded is simply another way to say the people are anarchic, undemocratic unruly and lawless. Resisting the law and forming unelected parallel government issuing instructions and directives to the people (IPOB) and defying constituted authority is not a demonstration of people leading themselves.

All land need official authority that lead on behalf of the people. With your claim, the people of the SE will soon be fully leading themselves bandit-style.

Bandits too claim they practice "self-rule" that relegated "evil elites" . They have rejected democratic and constituted authority to be claiming territory they run according to their warped ideology that shows how unqualified and unsuitable they are for leadership.

Teach quran all day but nothing else that can turn children into solutions providers for society.

No educated person can/should ever make the case that people rejecting the directive of elected leaders, with the mandate of leadership, "lead themselves" because you'd only be making a case for anarchy, confusion, lawlessness and lack of democratic maturity.

Jonjam269:
They claimed the South East is peaceful and insisted that reports of insecurity are just exaggerations by outsiders, even blaming the so-called Lagos–Ibadan media. If the region is truly peaceful as they say, then they should fully support Governor Soludo in ending the Monday sit-at-home. Yet the same people still say they can’t open their businesses on Mondays because of unknown gunmen. This contradiction exposes clear hypocrisy.

God bless you. Those who are not genuinely peaceful, responsible, tolerant, upright and moderate in outlook cannot continue fooling the world forever that those things are what they are and that the problem lies with others.

This development is an example with how they have always played victim to insist every insecurity in the SE is perpetrated by "Fulani DSS" and never IPOB or Igbos.

Soludo now demand sit-at-home must end. What would be more natural than for the entire SE to get behind him, since they claim IPOB are reasonable and "peaceful" agitators", removing what is a socio-economic malaise to the SE?

Instead they begin making excuses for IPOB retention of sit-at-home and blacklisting Soludo for doing the right thing they should all be supporting if 'calibrated' right.

Same people always attack FG for not crushing terrorist and bandits yet they make excuses when Soludo wants to deploy tough measures, as he is right to do, to end the illegal instruction of IPOB that should never have become virtually akin to Government law in the SE.

Just show the truth will be revealed in the end particularly regarding those who deliberately and wilfully cause their own misery to be deceitfully pointing fingers of blame at others.

jmoore:
No 1: Stop writing lengthy replies cos even if it's a novel, it will still not make sense.

No 2: Are the terrorists the same people as traders? You see how you dey babablu again. You are comparing bandits/terrorists with traders doing their legitimate business

Yes, tribalism has beclouded your reasoning to be writing nonsense.

Soludo should go after the terrorists and leave traders alone.

A load of self-delusional rubbish. Goodluck to you guys. This IPOB brouhaha is not the first time, in the history of Nigeria, you have self-harmed seriously as an ethnic group and it won't be the last.

That is because self-harming seriously will always be the fate of those who don't think before they act and then refuse to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions, let alone learn lessons from it, once the worst has happened.

Such people then move on to making excuses and blaming others for the serious mess they have gotten themselves into.

We've seen it before with you guys and always will.

jmoore:
You dey write babablu Bulabu. Your government fails to provide security. And when terrorists attack, they start sending condolence message.

Which firefighter uses petrol to quench fire?

See how you inserted tribalism in your reply. I no send where you come from. Dude!!

Keep blaming government. We saw Oyo State government immediately arrest and detain armed Oduduwa secessionist who stormed a radio station.

Till today the suspect, including one female, are on remand sending the message to others in the SW that there is zero tolerance for violent secession agitation in the region.

With the SE, in contrast, it is tacit support for IPOB by constituted Governments and the people themselves.

The Oyo Episode all Yorubas, i.e government and people rejected, and the SE equivalent that government and people of the SE supported, leading to mass terrorism, shows two different regions and two very different approaches Governments and people of both regions chose to tackle violent secession agitation.

Remain there talking of Government thinking you are shading Tinubu and deflecting blame successfully towards the FG.

Whereas thinking Nigerians know that at State and regional level, government and people can do a lot to tame and completely muzzle terrorism before it gets out of hand.

Yet you and the Northerners have shown how it can proliferate , to quickly become a big menace, when people and government at State and regional level are aberrant and irresponsible.

Accuse me of tribalism all you want. You people need to be made to confront the truth by all well-meaning and truthful Nigerians.

The truth being that your problems are self-inflicted and stem from how the fundamental and radical mindset you people in the SE and core North operate with ,that you then justify and never wish to renounce when confronted with the facts, is directly aiding the growth, tacit sponsorship and proliferation of terror in Nigeria.

How on earth are you different to Northerners like Gumi who try to shade the FG and portay bandits and terrorists as victims with the ludicrous claim they kill and trouble society terriblly because they are "marginalised" and "neglected" .

Is is Tinubu and Yorubas or Akpabio and SS folks marginalising bandits and terrorists from the North or their own cultural, political, religious leaders and elites?

Ditto for you lot showing face on this thread making Soludo the bad guy same as Gumi always wishes to blame FG for the action him, hs fellow hate preachers and callous fellow leaders at all levels of Northern leadership are fully responsible for.

CyynthiaKiss:
Soludo is pushing his luck

Pushing his luck how? Just listen to yourself. Is it not the folks like you and your leadeds, ala "evil thrive when good men do notbing", who should rise to support Soludo's effort to end the pervasive and deleterious evil influence of IPOB in the SE?

You insultingly advocate the FG obliterate Northern terrorists without mercy and send them to 72 Virginia in the afterlife but you have no qualms backing IPOB and attacking Soludo who is ready to use his official position and might to confront them.

Same as Northerners are busy abetting terrorists while their leaders make peace deals with genocidal and serial killer bandits.

I just dont understand the duplicity and hypocrisy that makes you see yourselves as different to Northerners and SE as different to the North.

This is why I insist daily, of six geo-political regions (SW, SS SE, NC, NE and NW) it is only the SW and SS, with the NC to an extent, giving Nigeria socio-economic pride and normalcy currently while the rest of you, leaders and followers, are severely warped beyond redemption and will be the cause if Nigeria ever descend into the horrendous ethnic cleansing strife of Rwanda many would rather forget than imagine ever seeing again.

jmoore:
The schools can open their gates.

The main point is which parent will risk taking his or her child to school on Monday?

Professor, your brain no reach that side.

You are the one fully deserving of the shade you throw at Soludo, with the bolded, because you don't understand that everything must be done to abolish this evil IPOB has now made a culture of the SE.
No different to how Boko Haram etc want to enforce the proscription of "Western education" so it is replaced by Islamic teaching alone.


The shame is that other leaders and Governors , including that irresponsible charlatan Obi, remain watching silently rather than rise up alongside Soludo to show IPOB that elected and constituted authority, with the official mandate of the people, remain ready to put an end to this aberration.

It is until SE becomes like the North you lot then start touting conspiracies and looking for who to blame for your own self-inflicted ruination.

I have been watching the whole thing, noting how Soludo appears to be fighting a losing battle while most Igbos seem to tacitly endorse the actions of IPOB against a duly elected Governor, to understand you guys are something else.

Yet you still have time and energy to be focusing on attacking Yorubas and others daily while backing a senseless practice, put in place by unelected and self-styled leaders who are cultists killers and thug, that only does socio-economic damage to the SE.

Lanretoye:
those criminals are better and your lord and personal savior has joined them,all those you want to accuse have ont thing or the other they can point as achievement in their tenure,I dare you to make a case of your lamba master

What is most shameful is that they have ready excuses for all that Obi does. Whereas normal and balanced folks fully understand that the actions an utterances of Obi confirm he will be a disaster as President.

The dude is not even competent enough to be a commissioner in Lagos State .

Bentacur007:
Is that all you have to say?
You wish this man to commit something that will implicate him but he is very smarter than you

Rubbish. What smartness can one ascribe to a man who claims he is "change" and a departure from the ruinous hands that have described Nigeria yet we see him going to prostrate for Malami, Gumi etal in their homes and domain?

123yes:
But Omokiri said he went to the school in Chicago to get the all the information about Tinubu. why backtracking.

You guys love flogging dead horses which prevents you seeing the big picture. This isn't about Omokri backtracking.

It is about the victim here, I.e Tinubu, choosing to not act against Omokri's past slander against him, which effectively ends the matter, and his free choice to charge Sowore to court for the same offence.

If a lady refuses to charge a friend who slaps her for assault, then what is your business focusing on her whether her friend admitted guilt or not? Were you the one slapped?

Likewise, if she decides to charge the friend for assault what is the right of the assailant ( Sowore in Tinubu's case) claiming he should not have been charged with assault since someone else did same to her last year and she did not file assault charges against them?

This whole thing is rubbish and a clear indicator of how Nigerians are too extrovertedly invested in the business of others, that does not concern them, to then be taking sides.

Tinubu has decided who to charge and who not to over defamation of his character [b]as is his right to do. [/b]End of story and Sowore need to learn his lesson and curb the cultist uncouthness and lack of decorum he is trying to force on Nigerian politics and public behaviour towards political figures.

What next after calling our President a "criminal" and such goes unchallenged? He will demand Nigerians conduct citizens arrest against President Tinubu?

Is this not how Kanu started till he spiralled into full-blown terrorism that cost many lives? Is this not how bandits and terrorists lawlessly threathen political leaders in the North? Sowore is a big disgrace.

Fiscus105:
Private and public figure who among citizens supposed to insult? You as tax payer citizens, you free to call out any leader, that in charge of nation treasury and security.
On what ground, you will insult private citizens o.

You can call out a public figure but you don't call them."criminals" or "Paedophile", "rapist" etal without proof because they can decide to prosecute you for defamation of character and the ruling will be in their favour 100% of the time if those making the allegation cannot provide proof to back their claim.

That many politicians choose to ignore the defamatory slurs against them does not mean no wrong has been done.

Just that it is not expedient to begin taking every member of the public to court when they defame your character maliciously.

Still, it is right and fitting Tinubu does so to a public figure who wants to become President yet believes the way to go about it is slandering all his opponents.

seunmsg:
Why do you guys always want to insert your victim mentality into every national issue? Since the news broke out, it’s either you guys complaining that Yorubas are not calling the coup a northern coup or you’re all crying that nothing is being done to the plotters because they are not Igbo or oh, they should not involve your people.


You SE folks should quit this annoying behavior. This is a military issue and not about you. Stop trying to force yourself into this matter. Those who planned the botched coup will face the consequences irrespective of their ethnicity. So please, stop viewing every national issue with a tribal lens. Thanks.

It really is annoying. Over every damn matter as well to include those that does not concern them even remotely.

IMPARTIAL:
If Tinubu take back the ambassadoral position from you, you will swallow what you just said and say more. It won't surprise me if you now say Tinubu is a murderer!

One thing irritating with most of you Nigerians is how you overstep your boundaries making suggestions only a stakeholder should.

If Tinubu has the grace to forgive Omokri and even deploy him as leadership member of his Government then what is you own wahala? Is it not Tinubu's right to do so?

Tinubu and Omokri are cool now. That what matters and what Tinubu wants.

It is like my child damaging the TV I bought and you, a neighbour, insisting I flog the hell out of him whereas I am happy to view the development an accident to then forgive him.

did anyone force Reno to insult tinubu ? Lauretta onochei was insulting atiku like this , till she saw fire. Reno thinks everyone is like obi and tinubu. This fool will insult the wrong person someday and that would be it. Do you still hear of Lauretta the sycophant ? Even that Buhari could not protect her

Sowore is not intellectually robust anyway and he is just clutching at straws here. He cannot argue Omokri making defamatory allegations against Tinubu, who was a private citizen then, gives him justification to make defamatory statement against Tinubu the President of Nigeria to then claim Tinubu is a criminal meaning Nigeria is being led by a criminal.

It is Tinubu's prerogative at all times, with unique circumstances taken into account such as whether he was President at the time or not, who to prosecute or forgive of slander against him.

If some of you inspect issues thoroughly and without sentiments then the obvious should be obvious.
