Trust me, when you have real money very few things bother you. You even sleep smiling. Most times you forget to eat.

Tinubu is one of a kind, make I no lie

Indeed. Look at the list, today, of many of his previous enemies who have gone to great lengths to insult and discredit Tinubu ,to include the likes of Omokri, Bosun Tidjani, Festus Keyamo and Bwala etal, who are working for PBAT passionately today.

What Tinubu did with many was not Rocket science. He simply recognised the needs for political leaders to understand that, in politics, two wrongs do not make a right.

When opponents fights you passionately in politics, and this is a global phenomenon, it isn't personal. It's politics and the desperation to win at it.

So therefore, no need to return the same negative energy against them. Especially if they are talented people that can be won over and used productively.

Meaning if an individual remains humans, gracious and capable of rising above pettiness, as Metuh confirms Tinubu did, then there is no one a man cannot win over to his side to then deploy productively to gain results he desires.

Tinubu is teaching all who wants results in life, especially if they can think critically, a lot of lessons with how he leads.

Friends and foes stand in the way of a man getting results. Strategies to negate that, so that desired results can still be achieved, is what Tinubu excels at.

If Tinubu comes calling today then Metuh, his past protagonist, will happily join team PBAT.

chiagozien:
Hahaha Amotekum that only catch plantain thieves


Talk another thing.

Joke is on you lot whose Ebebeagu you created, to copy Yorubas, are criminals, extortionists, armed robbers, kidnappers and killers.

chiagozien:
Lolz 😆😆😂😂 and they only remember Southern when it affects Yorubas🤣🤣😂😂

Whether you immature and emotional people behave means nothing. Yorubas handle their business. Right now, only Yoruba governors have convened a security trust fund to fight insecurity while it always appears the SE has no leadership at all.

Amotekun is the best and most professional complementary security force to the NPF today and even waxing stronger.

Whereas Ebebeagu that your reactionary ,weak and lazy Governors copied Amotekun to form is disbanded today for robbery, extra judicial killing, extortion, human rights abuse etc.

If you think you are somehow harming the responsible and solutions-driven Yorubas by refusing to do what is in the greater good of society, same as you destroyed the SE believing you are causing Buhari discomfort, then Yoruba leaders have no problem ignoring to get it done anyway, as they always do, while you people will continue to eff up like toddler with your insufferable immaturity and spiteful idiocy

thesolutions:
There is nothing southern for now as long as there is war between the major indigenous people in the south. I mean the Igbos and the Yoruba.

A united south is nearly impossible in my opinion. It will take a miracle performed by men for that to happen. But men chooses to win than to save. Expect no miracle.

A divided north will bring everyone together for discussion. Unfortunately, the north is comfortable. They can instigate a hungry northerner to blame his hunger on the southerner without questioning how.

The genocide nearly created that atmosphere for northerners to question their leaders but that is gradually fading away. Those shouting Gumi doesn't speak for me and Islam are now trying to find reason to explain why he could be right.

Is hope lost?
Definitely not. Living is hoping.

You sound like a bitter and hateful child because critical-thinking and pragmatic Nigerians should know adult leaders, even if they hate each other, can join hands and work together to tackle problems with existential threat.

Most leaders are not emotional and petty folks who cut their nose to spite their face. Majority understand the need to focus on solution and work with whatever/whoever facilitates solutions.

mascot87:
It's Time PBAT finish this people once and for all and derm the consequences of losing Northern support.

Not as simple as that Sir. Northerners must always feature heavily as boots on the ground in any bloody onslaught against terror to clear Nigeria of evil.

Ideologically difficult, because of a deep combination of ethnic and religious affiliation, for Northern members of the armed forces to engage in a 'cull' of fellow Northerners,or their ethnic affiliates who aren'teven Nigerians, that must involve Nigerian army and Air force killing thousands of combatants.

That compromise is why the merciless but needed onslaught has never happened to date against terrorists and bandits even as it is not difficult to prosecute with ruthless bombing and technology. I.e drone strikes etal.

The reality is that It can't be done physically because the will, from many stakeholders, is absent for such to happen.

I personally believe the North is gone, because the NW and NE regions of Nigeria are now a passionate and willing part of the Sahel region of terrorist nations in all but name and not devoted to Nigeria nor their fellow Nigerians that are not of same ethnic stock and religion as them.

They feels they must side with their Fulani brothers, and not Nigeria, in the grand plan for them to make Sub-Saharan Africa an Islamic caliphate.

Northerners in Nigeria have more loyalty and affinity for non-Nigerians from Mali , in danger of being overrun by Terrorists, and Senegal etal merely because they are from the same ethnic group as them (Fulani) and practice same religion of Islam.

The war against insecurity is one I doubt Nigeria can win because we are facing well-armed fighting Fulanis from across Africa, allowed to penetrate our borders up North with complicit ease, and not just a small group of disillusioned fellow Nigerians from the North we can deal with as internal conflict.

Same as the mighty USA Army eventually pulled out of Iraq etal is how Southerners, hopefully not too late, will realise this is now about extricating themselves from the North that is totally gone, irredeemable and ready to pull Nigeria down with her.

themanderon:
If you don't understand English then that's your problem. I can't help you with that. I said I do not approve of his ways but his agitations are pretty much justified.
If you don't understand that statement then get lost.

You are the one with comprehensions deficit. Once you employ violence and murder then those condemned actions are criminal and nullifies any claim of "just agitation". Thy is why the law will jail Kanu rather ever agree his agitation is just.

themanderon:
Stop being deliberately foolish. I don't agree with his ways but his agitations are genuine and I am a person that stands for fairness and truth qualities that are seriously lacking in this country which is causing all the insecurity we are having everywhere.

You're telling an adult who deserves that tag far more than you to stop being "deliberately foolish". Can you listen to yourself to understand who is foolish.

Fighting killings with killings and instigating minions to murder others, as Kanu chose,as the path to whatever solution he was seeking, is "genuine agitation" to you?

What did Tinubu and Yoruba leaders do to Kanu before he decreed they be killed and their businesses burnt down during #EndSARS?

How are those Yorubas leaders connected with you Igbos getting Biafra or not as Kanu pretended to be fighting far?

What is "genuine agitation" with Kanu's many, murderous, evil and lunatic ways ?

Wallade:
Honestly, I strongly agree with this your opinion that I highlighted.

"Some of the people we discuss with here are very troubled mentally."

Bro who else talk as some Nairalanders do if not lunatics? Imagine saying intolerant and extremist Christians/Muslims are the "pure" practitioners of both faith and not those, Yoruba Christians and Muslims, who are moderate and believe are adherents of different religions should be tolerant and get along.

A lot of Nigerians have sick and twisted minds, perhaps because of how warped our nation is, yet they don't appreciate that about themselves.

Bro, ask yourself if a sane or balanced person, who belongs in sane society, should post what is shown below. Especially the bolded.

He claims Hausa don't take our Muslims serious and Igbos have no regard for our Christians. As if that is not an indictment of how radically and mentally unhealthy they both are rather than a negative against Yorubas. A dubious people who always proclaim right as wrong and insist wrong is right.

ariesbull:
My neighbour is a serious Yoruba Muslim, she fasts and wears hijab...but just last week I saw her going to see a pastor for prayers

Personally...I don't them serious ! They are neither here nor there

That's why Hausa folks don't take their Muslims serious also the same way SE don't take their Christians serious ....

Jakumo:
Kanu's UK citizenship is very likely to be revoked, and his passport nullified, because of his conviction on terrorist-related charges. With his UK citizenship but a fond memory, Kanu will NOT be allowed to set foot in the UK even if he is released from jail on health or compassionate grounds at some point over the years to come.

You're 💯% correct. Those who are British by naturalization, as is the case with Kanu, can and will have their British citizenship revoked for terror-related conviction or serious criminal conduct.

Even Shamima Begum, who is British by Birth, had her citizenship revoked and was mad stateless after she travelled to Syria to join ISIS. She was only 15 as well.

IPOB lackeys are never educated and don't have world view beyond Upper Iweka, Aba or Nnewi so I am not surprised many don't appreciate the trouble Kanu is in as a 58 year old.

Jakumo:
Good question sir, and here is your answer. Sunday Igboho never once tried to impose any ridiculous and illegal "sit-at-home" house arrest onhis own people as Kanu did in Igboland, but more importantly Sunday Igbopho never once urged civilian gunmen to shoot his own people, as Kanu did multiple times in Igbo land, while chilling in his UK adopted home where he imagined he could advocate mass murder and get away with it.

Kanu has multiple MURDER charges to face, while at the very worst, Sunday Igboho was only ever "guilty" of expressing separatist ideology in a non-violent way.

Nice one Jakumo. Good to remind some people of the recent history we all experienced when they begin to act as if they are suffering from severe memory loss.

Their revisionism is nauseating and can only be the product of very unreasonable minds.

themanderon:
And in your head you think he will spend life in prison?

Whether he spends his life in prison or not isn't the issue.Your God and messiah is now a convicted criminal with a bleak future in the UK, Europe, North America, Nigeria etal.

ebukal67x:
Kanu is in high spirits, he knows he will soon be released.

Lol. If I had ten Naira for every time you fantasists get it wrong I'd likely be a naira trillionaire today.

Wallade:
Yes, we see you for who you are - Chest beaters with superiority complex.

Empty barrels make the loudest noises.

We are already used to your activities, behavior and attitude.

Indeed. The guys is just repellent. Imagine trying to say a guy who does not beat or force himself on women is not a "pure man"?

What could be more dark and malevolently evil than claiming Yoruba Muslims are not "pure Muslims" because they are not murderously extremist like Boko Haram, ISWAP etal?

Some of the people we discuss with here are very troubled mentally. It is something Nigerians should worry about because such is the reason we have so much going against our nation today.

ariesbull:
Who is assuming? Where did I tell you that North are extreme Muslim

What I said that Yoruba are hybrid and

they are not pure Muslims

that's why you can't see Yoruba and Hausa pray together in a mosque here in Lagos or Yoruba lead Hausa in prayers ...they see them as not pure Muslims and I have seen it well

Even their Christian..visit babalawo and fetish ...things


That's the fact

I know many of their pastors that do juju ! It's only in yoruba land that a Muslim will marry a Christian .
Which is travesty and madness

Even in Bible it is a sin...Bible said don't be unequally yoked with non believers

What is "pure Muslims"? This is what I thoroughly dislike about you people that, incidentally, gets you in trouble wherever you go.

I.e your total disregard for boundaries. Are you Muslim to know who a "pure" or "impure" Muslim is? How dare you, an intolerant Christian, say Yorubas Muslims, part of the Yoruba ethnic group touted probably the most religiously tolerant in the world, are not "pure Muslims" because they are not slicing throats while shouting jihadist slogans?

Is pure Islam only about fundamentalism or is it that the world, if full of progressive people, should learn from and adopt the way Yorubas practice Christianity and Islam?

Just to shade Yorubas you begin speaking like Gumi, Shekau and all Northern fundamentalists who will tell you Yoruba Muslims are "Kaffirs" simply because Yoruba Muslims don't subscribe to the murderous extremism of Islam some Northerners propose.

Isn't it ironic that the most fundamentally radical and intolerant Nigerians (Igbos and Fulanis) are the ones responsible for the designation of Nigeria today as one of the most terrorised nation of the world?

Yet you both constantly attempt to gaslight Yorubas daily while demanding power through failures like Atiku and Obi.

Whereas the sad reality is that you and the murderous mullahs are irresponsible disgraces who cannot 'clean up' at regional level and should actually be thanking the moderation, progressive mien and sophistication of Yorubas that you both gaslight when the world, not full of stupid people alone, know the people and region troubling Nigeria and threatening to cause her anarchic end. What a joke.

For the absence of doubt, the valuable Nigerians today, factually, are the people of the SS, SW, and NC region.
The SE, NE and NW are dangerous to our nation and net deficit regions of Nigeria needing to urgently 'fix up' and stop taking the rest of us, doing the right things, for granted.

Kindered:
you want to tackle insecurity and you are wearing agbada, unscrupulous.

Governors are executive leaders. Not soldiers or Policemen. Ditto stakeholders over insecurity like traditional rulers etal.

Why they should then wear anything other than their normal clothing, when making executive decisions or suggesting solutions over insecurity, I don't know.

Not by force to comment.

Good call. No doubt State or regional policing is the way forward. Adopting it urgently, will see insecurity in general reduce drastically.

Even States with no terror-related insecurity would benefit from better policing against everyday crime.

AAEEI:
Yoruba are confused religionists that are unequally yoked among them. It's like evil and good dragging the same space. Now evil is winning in SW as Islamic terrorists, many of them Yorubas, are turning on their own people. Sharia is coming there, steadily.

You people are the only ones I know, worldwide,that makes excuses for wrongdoing and endorse distasteful qualities of man.

You lot , for example, are the only ones who'd argue that being racist or an ethnic jingoist is somehow good and desirable while mocking those who are not.

It is why I don't know one Igbo, from leaders to followers, who have thought of the thousand victims of Kanu's IPOB and UGM madness to insist he deserves jail and punishment.

Instead you all proclaim him "innocent" to begin accusing and cursing "Yoruba" Judge doing his job.

Yet most normal people will not get a cohesive answer from any of you if they demand to know what you base your claim of Kanu's innocence on other than your warped outlook and views.


You will continue, as has been your history, to go from one disaster to the next attempting to mock and denigrate those who are far better human being than you that you should be looking up to.

As usual, the extremists from the SE must find a way to justify ugliness they are known for ,i.e prejudice and intolerance, to then castigate religious tolerance of Yorubas that would be the panacea to a major problem of Nigeria, from time immemorial, if all Nigerians emulated it.

You all wake daily looking for anything to use to castigate Yorubas who do not care about you. Sad. Very sad.

DomPerignon:
This site is not an IBO only forum and no section or topic can be declared as an '' IBO only '' hangout.

This site is owned by a Yoruba man whom you so much hate.

Why not carry your nonsense segregation to your kedu app?

Lol. Had to laugh when I read your post because I was thinking the same thing. Imagine how these people are so clannish to the level they want to decree, on the most utilised Nigerian blog in the world, only Igbos can comment on certain threads ?

Is this not another show of their irredeemable covetousness as a people? Everything, including Nairaland, they wish to commandeer as there own. To go and start their own exclusive Igbo blog is not an option.

They prefer remaining on a Nigerian blog being a nuisance with their victim noise.

VOsimhen144:
AK-47 is N560,000
A Pack of 1,000 bullets is N150,000

A word is enough for the wise, No be everything I go dey tell una.

Stop misleading people with your ignorance. Issuance of firearms licence has been suspended since 2023 and the suspension remains in place.

You critics of Government are usually always ignorant or hardened liars.

Burob:
Guy The Federal Republic of Nigeria is one of the greatest nations on the face of the earth, what many the vast majority don’t understand is, that there is an international conspiracy from western nations, in allegiance with local conspirators like Eyepob as an example to destroy Nigeria.

These Boko Haram & ISWAP are been used against Nigeria by the so called western nations to destabilize the country, ask yourself where is the flow of weapons to these bandits coming from?

They are afraid of President Tinubu’s bold reforms that he has undertaken, leaders don’t dare it in their first term to do what he is trying to do, they wait until their second term.

Hence they are trying their best to undermine him anyway they can, I.e. why will Trump talk of invading Nigeria? because they know if he wins in 2027, the federal republic of Nigeria will take its rightful place amongst the league of nations.

Bro, I am well aware of the bolded. Only so much we can say online sha.

Certainly the most Machiavellian nation fear an Africa, inspired by Tinubu's reformational success, they believe will encourage nations in Africa to begin "thinking above their station".

The West is virtually depleted of mineral wealth today whereas Africa is full of untapped mineral endowment and 'trainable' human resources leading it to be tagged as the "last frontier" by economists.

We can own and define our future through leaders like Tinubu who has taken decisions , stupendously beneficial for the growth and progress of Nigeria, no President before him has the bravery or conviction to do.

Certainly the thinking of some in the West will be "what if all African leaders start thinking and acting like Tinubu " with his teach-a-man-to-fish mindset?

Whereas they preferred the status quo before Tinubu others where previous Presidents wanted Nigerians addicted to and controlled with donation of small morsels of fish they will never be shown how to farm.

I smiled the other day when I read a report about how Tinubu’s reform is set to transform the reality of Africa by making it , through Nigeria's refining capacity, a global net refiner of crude oil whereas we were previously and disgracefully known for importing the refined derivatives of our own natural and god-given endowment.

Of course some are watching and fuming globally. They see the 'coons' trying to step up, meaning they will be poorer and less-powerful, and they don't like that at all.

It is up to us to open our eyes and see what is obvious and in the best interest of our generation unborn in a world where desperation to control the dwindling mineral asset of the world is essentially the third world war. Lokk at th warning , in the image below, that warns us about "exploitatjon". I fully understand you.

May God continue to bless you and yours plus all those who mean well for our nation.

akingangan:
Every problem in Nigeria is always blamed on the President, but the President cannot be everywhere all the time.

Tinubu has wasted time creating state police and even have military assigned to each state.

I totally agree with yourl. Even as a diehard fan of Tinubu, who understand his end plan and target, I feel there must always be a way to balance the need to play politics with the sacrosanct goal of optimal protection of the lives and property of Nigerians I believe is the foremost responsibility of every leader above everything else.

Yes State/regional policing may not be affordable to all, yet makein3g it constitutionally legal means States/region who can afford it will set it up and lead by example to show others they must adopt it also.

As things are, Tinubu is playing into the hands of the monsters he wishes to keep out of power with inaction that is losing him the support of Nigerians.

Burob:
Man I agree with u 100%.

My own belief is that Tinubu is just tolerating this issue, because of the 2027 general election, he knows if he goes after them ruthlessly, these same northerners wil use it campaigning against him, to say that Tinubu is killing northerners.

Absolutely. There is also the reality Tinubu has to work with which is that the Nigerian Army is heavily dominated by the North in terms of boots on the ground.

Ending banditry and insecurity means ruthless bombing and killing of many Fulanis terrorists and insurgents. Possibly up to 100k deaths or more.

Hesvy human casuality and destruction of geographical spaces. Is that an order Northern soldiers, charged with prosecuting such an assault, will carry out?

Soldiers themselves, in extreme frustration, have confessed that rehabilitated terrorists and bandits absorbed into our armed forces are compromising the war on terror via leaking vital intel to terror and bandit groups.

We are prisoners of our own division and irreconcilable difference as a people who are very diffrent and should not be together yet find themselves under one nation.

Meaning consensus of action other nations of the world can agree on and implement , that will deliver near instant solutions, will never happen in Nigeria.

Sometimes, I think Nigeria is a nation God has rejected because every negative quality of man, that makes him a cog in the wheel of progress he seeks, Nigerians have in abundance.

Burob:
Make Tinubu make any move, na still them opposition go shout, he wants to take away our civil rights.

Bro, the truth is that Southerners are irresponsible cowards and a disgrace for etting even a single Fulani voice gaslight a Southern President over insecurity.

To be clear, I am not saying all Fulanis are bad. Yet the reality is that they are almost 100% behind the problems of terrorism and banditry Nigeria is facing today.

Meaning their leaders, like Atiku, must take responsibility for seeking solutions they can deliver without any diversionary pretence sction from the Presidency is the only option.

When has Atiku ever said "my fellow Northerners, let us do this and that to curtail insecurity in our region"? Instead his talk and involvement over insecurity is limited to attacking Tinubu alone while acting as if Northern leaders have no role at all to play in the provision of solutions to insecurity in the North.

When has Atiku called out a single Northern governor or military leader out for failure over insecurity?

Yorubas were not responsible for the killings and insecurity Fulani herdsmen visited on the SW circa
2020 to 2022.

Yet Yoruba leaders, without limiting themselves to irresponsibly calling out Buhari alone while their people continue to die, took charge ( RIP Governor Akeredolu) and used their State houses of assembly to birth Amotekun.

What action have we seen from Northern Governors and leaders like Atiku and El Rufai for the formal convocation of efforts to fight this existential threat Fulani terror poses to Nigeria today?

This is why I continue to be mad at some, like the OP, and view them enemies of Nigeria.

They act destructively thinking they are fighting Tinubu and Yorubas they hate primordially, with their antics of supporting the gaslighting antics of Atiku, El Rufai, Sule Lamido, Ndume, Malami, Tambuwal, Bala Mohammed etal.

These are Northern leaders we should all be united charging to take responsibility for solutions provision, over insecurity in the North, as we saw SW leaders do when their region was troubled.

No sensible Nigerian has any business retweeting or highlighting the gaslighting talk of any Fulani leader, against a Southern President, over insecurity in the North.

The only response we should give them is that they must be up and doing providing solutions, if sincere, they are more than capable of delivering that Presidential power is not needed for as we saw SW leaders show by example.

Riskymarvelous:
write more

No wahala. If childish and emotional clap back is all you can offer to talk you should reflect on, continue. It is your God Kanu who has been sentenced to life in jail while bandits, who have directly killed more than 20 Nigerian , continue to walk around freely and like heroes in the North.

You people are stubbornly emotional to an impossible level. What needs to be explained to you to make you realise Igbos have no business comparing themselves to Northerners that callous and evil Northern leaders deliberately fail to educate, empower, make religiously tolerant and civilise?

You shamelessly let Kanu and co take your down to the level of Turji, Shekau etal when, if a wise people and civilisation, you should realise the optimal option in life is to make people rise up to your higher level, if you are above them, rather than join them at their lower retrogressive level you have risen above.


This is why Yorubas, anytime and anyday, will always be wiser than you lot and more succesful at working with the reality of Nigeria. We will not become barbarians because others are.

Riskymarvelous:
while Gunmi is walking freely

Continue refusing to wise up as other Nigerians have ages ago to understand their are only a few ways to escape certain devilish situations.

It is why you guys go from major disasters (civil war loss and Igbo coup) to even worse ( your self-inflicted destruction of the SE under Kanu and IPOB) yet you continue whataboutism over the murderous mullahs up North.

Are you ignorant of the reality of Gumi and his people? Why did Obasanjo, a brave soldier, capitulate to allow them have Sharia even when he should have insisted on respect for the secular status of Nigeria?

Why was Jonathan always trying to appease them?
Why will a Northern cleric demand the death of Remi Tinubu he declared shouldndie because she is the "infidel leader" of Christians in Nigeria yet Tinubu ignored him whereas the man should have been locked up for life for incitement to murder?

Keep comparing yourself to Northerners as if you should not understand the bigger picture. Commonsense and emotional intelligence are not considerations you lot are noted for. This is why I personally worry for you guys and view you as self-destructive dangers to yourselves.

Check my talk below about Gumi to one of your misguided btothers to note Yorubas are far wiser and more critical-thinking than you lot.

If Nigeria is to be saved from evil barbarism and savagery, you guys will never be part of that solution because your lack of emotional intelligence means you are only capable only make matters worse as Kanu and IPOb did destroying the SE thinking they are fighting and repelling Bhhari and Fulanis.

WizardOfNG:
Is something wrong with you? Check my past post to see if I have excuses or sympathy for bandits. I am just warning you to be careful with your utterances and not say thing you will implicate yourself with.

As far as I know, and before Trump’s threat, I was the only Nairalander who spoke of the impunity and complicity of Northern leaders in abetting terror with how I cited Gumi's audacious warning that Nigerian armed forces should not "provoke" bandits after so called peace talks.

Every Nairalander missed that subtle threat of Gumi that indicate Northerners think we are all at their mercy.

Thought-provoking announcement from Gumi for Nigerians who think critically in search of solutions.

Overall, the problem with most of you is that you always react emotionally most time problems arise. You don't calm down to think critically of feasible and workable solutions.

If you think Tinubu becoming Rambo , to then go into the North and wipe out terrorist with a supergun, is the solution then best advice I can give your kind is to Japa with your loved ones and leave the search for solutions to unemotional adults who can think like men.

Throwback:
It is hard to convince the Igbo that anyone loves them.

I believe they thrive on their own hate that is reflected back to them.

There should be rejoicing in the SouthEast that the menace of IPOB was crushed.

Indeed. Central to their self-destructive mindset is their creation of a retrogressive culture where they insist all other who do not allow them have their ways hate them and are their enemies.

When a people are that unreasonable and irresponsible, then they will always experience problems everywhere and against everyone.
