Kalashnikov49:
You can't say things in public about GUMI , patanmi etc, but with Nnamdi Kanu it's open season abi?

Bloody Nonsense.

Grow up. My meaning by that is that most Nigerians are not mature or pragmatically dispassionate enough to deal with the truth about the evil that pervades Nigeria and is caused by Nigerians.

Kalashnikov49:
GUMI is in Turkey.

He was Deported by Saudi Arabia,but walks freely and advocates for known killers of people. In those threads you don't talk.

Let me tell you explicitly, your rants are irrelevant. Keep making Noise on IGBO related affairs. Just know this. You can NEBER conquer the SE like you did to the SW.

Nnamdi has been vindicated...

Patanmi and GUMI are running but you keep quiet. Nonsense

Whatever. Check my past posts to see how critical of Pantami, Gumi, Malami etal I have being consistently.

The problem with you lot is that you think everyone who criticises you are your haters and automatic supporters of the likes of Gumi, Pantami etal.

Where were you when virtually myself alone, on Nairaland, indicted Pantami of sinister motives, while ICT Minister, to use the NIN scheme to grant Nigerian citizenship to Fulanis from different nations of Africa?

There is a lot that cannot be said in public. Go and do your research so you grow up to note the stark reality of Nigeria.

shortgun:
1 Nnamdi Kanu is bigger than 20 Tinubu combined

Of course he is. Same as one of their Pastors proclaimed that "one Igbo man is equal to 500 Hausa men".

Hopefully, that 'superiority" will see him walk away free on Novemver 20th that is his judgement day.

Putindbutt:
Of course, US sponsored his group to topple Bashar al Assad. He's going to pay homage to his big daddy in the white house and sign on the document that would allow the US take as much rare earth minerals as possible from Syria. The only difference is that the Taliban in Afghanistan defeated the US to take over power, otherwise, they would have been a golden child of the US.
But some ignoramuses in Nigeria do not know the US is only interested in what they would get from the country, they don't give a dime if you're s Christian or Muslim.

Walahi, those ignorant and self-hating irritants will sell us out into second slavery. Especially if, God forbid, the clown they worship becomes President.

They always remind me of the traitor who goes and open the door so that marauders can murder everyone taking shelter, in a building, against ruthless killers.

LegendHero:
Yes that same terrorist.

I don’t know why USA is negotiating with terrorists to the extent of now allowing him to lead a country where you also have christians and one of the oldest church in the world.

We should pose this question to ignorant, self-destructive, hideously ill-educated and self-hating Nigerians, particularly from one historically disruptive region of our nation, who now see Trump as their Christian messiah whereas same Trump and his USA have no problem fraternising with Ahmed Al-Sharaa.

Those same Nigeria will mock Tinubu, their own President, claiming he cannot set foot in the USA. Yet look at who the USA is rolling out the red carpet for.

Those particular set of people should come and explain the duplicity of the USA to us and why they self-loathingly sanction America "messing up" Tinubu yet the same nation will wine, dine and entertain Ahmed Al-Sharaa.

As unprincipled and cynically machiavellian as the USA has been historically, what is to say Bello Turji cannot be recruited to serve the agenda of America at any stage in the future?

Nigerians are the most hideously and self-destructively gullible people in the world. Our leaders and followers are like toddlers when it comes to undertstanding international relations and it's very cynical and self-serving underbelly.

aribisala0:
see theory
Where was this diversity when Tiny Jamaica dominated the air waves
Nigeria.does not have more outstanding talent than Ghana
Winning or not winning Grammy is not proof of talent or lack of it
It is proof of business acumen , and financial support
A very good example is Tyler
Is she the best talented female in Africa or even South Africa?
She is a manufactured star
It will be possible in less than 5 years to manufacture AI stars with African characters


Ghana like every other African country is brimming with talent
That doesn't guarantee commercial success
Let us not allow Grammy to create unnecessary gloating,division or pride among African people

Ghanaians do not have the musically diverse talent Nigerians do. Even their top artists will tell you that.

Look, I know the music and club scene of Nigeria and Ghana first hand to appreciate Ghanaians even vibe more to Nigerian music, because good music takes no prisoners, in their bars and clubs to the anger of their own artists who, without shame, have to insist clubs and bars tone down playing Naija music to feature and favour Ghanaian music in Ghana.

We can understand "buy made in Ghana goods and shun Nigerian import, yet how can anyone justify embargo on "foreign music"?

When has music, one of the best examples of the saying "cream rises to the top", needed discriminatory antics, as Ghanaians engage in, to promote it?

Has music not always been about what the people prefer to listen to thus making a mockery of most of youe point here?

Per bolded in your post, where did I argue winning Grammy is proof of talent?

Awards mean nothing to me. Talent that is iconic, definitive and dominant does. If that's what we are speaking about then Ghanaians are no match for Nigerians.

As for Tyler, take up her case with those who rate her. Per you comment about Jamaica, music is cyclical. Especially with new genre sound, like modern Afro beats for example, being captivating for a shelf life period which could be a year to decades. Jamaicans gave the gift of reggae to the world and naturally became acclaimed for it.

No different to rhythm and blues African Americans dominated. It's Afro Beat's time to shine, as enthralling and captivating music from Africa, and Nigerians are the undisputed champions of it.

Same as Reggae and hip hop from the Carribean and the USA, had their time to wow the world but less so today.

@OP.

The USA itself is a dubious and hypocritical nation masterful at double standards and deceit.

I bet the kids on Nairaland and other Nigerian discussion blogs, kissing Trump's behind slavishly, are too ignorant to know Trump is officially meeting Ahmed Al-Sharaa , Syrian President today, who was a terrorist and leader of Al Qaeda in Syria the hypocritical and morally dubious USA had a $10 million dollar bounty on previously.

The forum can fact check me on this.

Yet, he is today rehabilitated as a democratic leader and pal of the USA. Is it implausible to conclude Bello Turji could be a 'rehabilitated pal' of the US tomorrow if that serves their agenda?

Honestly the average Nigerian, especially those lot who hate our nation and other Nigerians, is a danger to himself because of how ignorant, naive, gullible and lacking in critical knowledge he is.

Imagine how the self-destructive ignoramuses now salivate over "Saviour" USA invasion of Nigeria as if the USA , same that was instrumental in the rise of Al Qaeda and once counted Bin Laden as their ally, is now our Christian "Salvation"?

How many coups, and even regime change in Africa, has the USA sponsored to achieve ulterior motives that consolidates their status as "greatest nation on Earth"?

Only God can save Nigerians from themselves.

Salewa97:
We are not interested in the travel advisory.

Let them come and be visiting the dead

Who ie the "we"? Is the travel advisory notice for you or for British citizens? Not by force to comment.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has warned British citizens against traveling to 21 states in Nigeria, citing rising insecurity, kidnapping, violent crime, and intercommunal clashes. The advisory was last updated on October 21.

HgAkpobomeEr:
The UK should stay out of Nigeria's affairs.

They're Not in your affairs. They're advising their own people, as should a responsible nation, per States to stay away from, in Nigeria, for their own safety. The travel advisory notice is in order.

givedemwotowoto:
You asked a question and still answered your own question from your tribal viewpoint of everything, though tribe wasn’t mentioned. You see your life?

I don't have time for your pedantism. Grow up.

allthingsgood:
More like trying to bribe citizens who have given up on the republican party. America that is $23trilion in debt, govt shut down, rising inflation and highest foodstuff prices ever, cannot afford $2000 give away.

Don't mind him. Some Nigerians are really repugnant with their self-hatred.

They will rush online to use lies denying their own Presidents is doing good while keen to promote the "performance" lies of Trump that now sees 64% of Americans declaring they do not have confidence in his leadership.

Trump says Nigeria is a "disgraceful" nation but he is a disgraceful President many Americans are now embarrassed of.

Dalohad:
Meanwhile go pretend say e hard to pay Nigerians this Kain money, na only when he wan collect tax he dey remember our bank account.

LagosOrigin:
Nigeria need a Donald Trump's magic wand . The man is good.

Mrchippychappy:
Man wey sabi work. Talk and do. Strong man. Nigerians are expecting you before the end of the month. Please come and save us from government backed Islamic terrorists.

You people are all the same. Driven by emotions, sentiments and bias that erodes objectivity and the need to acquire knowledge that provides a man with a clear view of any picture.

Trump is lying his ass off and only you feudal and bitter people, always having axes to grind with others, will believe him.

Four articles below. All recent and with the first updated November 9th. I can supply 100 easily with Americans telling their story from real experience they are undergoing while you projector people are here worshipping Trump because you think that helps you gaslight Tinubu and Nigeria. Even God cannot secure salvation for you lot.

Two days later, voters blew away Republican candidates up and down the ballot in Virginia and New Jersey, results that reinforced NBC News polling showing that the vast majority of voters — about two-thirds — think the president hasn’t lived up to his promises to curb inflation and improve the economy. The common watchword for Democratic candidates who won on Tuesday — both progressives and centrists — was “affordability.”

HgAkpobomeEr:
Nigerians are not the only Africans. But we are the only ones doing the work!

Our diversity helps us to be innovative. If you visit Ghana, and many other African nations, you'd instantly recognise how 'mono' their outlook, thinking, culture etal is.

It is natural to be inspired to be the best in a cosmopolitan and diverse melting pot environment which is what Nigeria is.

givedemwotowoto:
If we bring it down to Nigeria, is there a political group of people that get envious, hateful and frustrated at a whole group of people when someone from that group wins something?

What are you talking about? You've brought your usual clannish and tribalistic outlook to a thread that is about Nigeria and non-Nigerians. Not ethnic groups within Nigeria.

Must you people always be so ethnocentric and divisive? What is wrong with you?

Ghanaians cannot understand that it is the diversity of Nigeria that makes Nigerian artist outstanding talents in comparison to others.

Like someone said above, we should cherish that diversity that challenges and inspire Nigerians.

Omoawoke:
If Nigeria military want Bello Turji dead within one week, they would kill him

But Nigeria is seriously compromised….

This same turji was surrounded about a year ago and they called off the attack on him…

100% correct. This is why I will always insist insecurity ends in the North when Northerners, followers and leaders at all levels, sincerely commit to ending terrorism and banditry.

Ever8090:
I am not Igbo, I am from middle belt but I bet you, Igbo are hundred times better to live than with than Muslims.

That some choose to warp Islam and fashion it in a fundamentalist image does not mean that is the general form of Islam.

Igbos are not "hundred times better to live than with than Muslims" from Yoruba land who are tolerant, sell Igbos land, employ and accomodatie them graciously etc, etc.

The problem with people like you is that you are patently biased and prejudiced. Otherwise you'd acknowledge and praise how Yorubas already show that Islam is not a violent religion.

PerfectMan24:
Nigeria is a joke.
They said Ipob is a terrorist group and they quickly proscribed them.
Now Trump wants to fight terrorists in Nigeria.
Which supposed to be proscribed ipob but the North & politicians began to cry while ipob were happy.
Who is fooling who?

Address this message to those who have not been crystal clear, as I have stated consistently, that the North, especially their wicked and irresponsible leaders, remains the biggest menace and existential threat to the peace, security and socio-economic wellbeing of Nigeria.

If you people are responsible and genuinely seeking progress and solutions for Nigerians then you'd understand that those telling you irresponsible people to fix up are not automatic backers or apologists of Fulani murderous criminality destroying our nation horrendously.

You will casually and dishonestly accuse Yorubas of backing Fulanis, yet not one of you can dispute the fact that it was same.Yorubas who factually fought Buhari and Malami most uncompromisingly when Fulani herdsmen menace threatened the peace of Nigeria horribly circa 2020 to 2022.

You guys are just "men who are not like men" as Bianca Ojukwu described you because proper men never lie against or deny the truth about other men even if they dislike them

ufotunang:
.. and you like it like that ?

What do you want me to say to someone suggesting Soludo 'bought' a win? Labour candidate won under 'messiah' Obi and Soludo bribed his way to win instead abi? Are you okay at all?

tishbite41:
Did you just say 'sane Nigerians'?
Who are the sane ones?
The Yorubas?!
You're super deluded

Let's talk about what a neutral non-Nigerian can discern from looking at the Nigerian picture today.

SW and SS are the safest and most progressively normal regions of Nigeria today. Both bear the best resemblance to civility and normality today of all regions of Nigeria. Fsct.

Does it make sense to you that objective non-Nigerians, capable of dispassionately working with fact alone, would view you Igbos and Fulanis more sane than Yorubas and folks of the SS?

You guys are too emotional to even see what the optics reveal that is not in you favour at all and actually shows, as formal travel advisory warnings of most nations reveals, the SW and SS are the two most sane regions of Nigeria today.

Keep disregarding facts and reality to be projecting and fantasising just because you hate and resent the Yorubas.

ChybuzzDD:
Unity is not by force, and not even when you h@te-flled lots have formed an evil alliance with the fulanis against the Igbos

We're solidly in support of Kanu's agitation and there's no law against that.\

Selt-determination in the face of hate, marginalization, suppression, oppression, injustice, etc, is not a crime.

Don't make wild and spurious allegations in an information age. You be 'owned- doing that. Prove the bolded in your post with facts if you can.

When the Fulanis were marauding through Southern Nigeria ruthlessly, under Buhari, remind us of the specific and single ethnic group, in the whole Nigeria, who led by example and formally challenged Fulani herdsmen menace to birth Amotekun while your cowardly and irresponsible leaders were hiding.


Was it not Yorubas who took the fight to Malami, our former AGF, and his boss in then President Buhari?

Yoruba leaders did not stop there. They united to stand against Buhari with their demand below dem no born your cowardly, greedy and unprincipled leaders to ever contemplate let alone voice publicly.

The days of making "Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubrin from Sudan" wild allegations are gone. I have shown Yorubas always stand against injustice and oppression , be it against Fulani or anyone else, when such is requires.

Prove your allegation Yorubas "formed an evil alliance with the fulanis against the Igbos" with facts if you can.

The world is getting tired of you people's attention-seeking, lies and demonization against all others you cannot dominate, subjugate and exploit.

Whatever.

kettykin:
Who takes a government that signs peace pact with murderers serious, bunch of failed useless federal government

Prove it is the FG that signed deals and not Governors and local players from the North who have always felt they are a law into themselves and part of an Islamic Nation rather than members of a secular nation.

You people know the truth but simply prefer to state the opposite simply to make "Yoruba President" look bad ala "give a Dog a bad name to hang it."

If you are a reasonable, progressive and peaceful person then you'd know there is no controlling what the North, a rogue nation effectively and law unto itself, does or does not do.

This is effectively why I uncompromisingly back regional autonomy your sort should support also if genuinely progressive. Instead you come here daily to create mischief against "Yoruba President" and his people as if we are even 0.01% of your problem.

All wise, critical-thinking and pragmatic folks know there is no way to reign in the antics of the North in so far as they dominate our armed forces and have sympathy for terrorists and bandits.

Intelligence report even let's us know many high up in our armed forces are compromising the fight against insecurity because they are making tonnes of money from proliferation of terror everywhere.

Furthermore, sensible Nigerians know that the saying "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" applies to the North. Pantami, Gumi and co have shown us this many times yet you lot keep shouting Tinubu

it is tragic elders like you understand the only escape route for peaceful Nigerians, i.e regional autonomy, to be safe and enjoy growth and progress yet you keep talking irresponsibly daily.

You think Tinubu can just order a wipe out of bandits and terrorists across the North today, likely to result in at least the death of 100k or more combatants, and the Northerners in the Army, Air force and NPF will execute that order?

Sir, if you want to be part of the solution, start by being truthful to yourself and then to younger Igbos who deserve truth from you and not deceitful brainwashing designed to feed your obsession with fighting and maligning Yorubas.

Codepain:
I smell long term sentencing

It will be hard for him to escape less than 15 to 20 years jail sentence. Perhaps longer even.

The delusional lot can make noise all they want but the law is clear.

The servant Ekpa bagged 5 years in Finland. What does the head of the terror empire deserve?

Dalohad:
With the current matters arising, Justice Omotosho does not have balls to sentence Kanu to jail or to the hangman's noose..

This matter has gone beyond Nigeria, if your grey matter is in the right constitution, you will understand what I am saying..

You cannot be pampering and taking pictures with Islamic terrorists who clearly go around with AK-47 killing people, while sentencing a Judeo-Christian Southerner like Kanu for simply asking for his people to be left alone and out of the failed Nigerian project. It will not happen..

As you may know, powers greater than Nigeria are watching the case keenly.

I don't wanna be in Justice Omotosho's position right now. I do not envy him at all.
Even Justice Binta Nyako pick race from the case because the matter pass am...

Is that all Kanu did? Na wa for you guys. Don't even know what to say anymore in regards to the ludicrous utterances of you lot.

You think you've heard it all and they come up with something even more dumbfounding. Kanu was asking "for his people to be left alone" when he directed his mob to destroy Lagos plus kill Tinubu and others?

Crystal clear you people only see and hear what you wish to while remaining blind and deaf to everything else.

Lol

LottiOk:

Stop wasting your Time trying to speak sense to that kanu's minion. He knows what you are saying makes sense and destroys the indoctrination spells Kanu cast over them, but COGNITIVE DISONACE he suffering from just won't allow him to hear it and instead trys to mock or ridicule you with childish taunts and sly insults to project his pains of hear the real truth back at you. Most of these ipob guys already know the scam don cast but still keep pushing childish and outlandish narratives cos honestly that's the Only thing they've got left. So leave them to wallow in their misery and silly fantasies they fill there heads with (that Only makes sense to them), it's entertaining watching them getting shamed repeatedly as all their hate-filled plans keeps getting busted by FG and other sane patriotic Nigerian.

Don't mind me ojare. The eternal optimists in me keeps hoping they will see sense and work with it.

In reality, na waste of time with those lot as you conclude.

Kalashnikov49:
Everyday..you are on igbo threads running your mouth. i have NEVER seen you do same for Fulani herdsmen, ritual killings in the SW and even condemning atrocities of the marauding killers who have even surrounded the SW.

leave IGBO events alone , this SW man. obsession is obvious in all your rants. IGBO man take your wife?

Easy to expose you people as immature and dishonest. I don't talk about Fulani yet was that not you I responded to below about Fulani fundamentalist menace all Nigerian must become aware of and protect themselves against?

I one of the posters most critical of Fulanis here and calling them out for the murderous and socio-economic menaces they are to Nigeria today.

In my own region, I sanction death sentence for ritual killers and passionately backed Ondo State Governors approval of death sentence for kidnapper in his state.
Unlike you, I am not apologist or tacit defender of evil whether from my own or others.

You're not ready to rise above indoctrination, forcing you to hate Yorubas blindly, to engage with others honestly and sincerely. Your still at the stage where you wish to always defend you and yours as innocent victims.

Gumi said they are doing this for revenge.
These five people must have done terrible things to him.
Unlike the real "terrorists" IPOB who wants to secede from Nigeria.

Stop the whataboutism gaslighting. Gumi is no doubt abominable and a backer of heinous terror. The disappointment of most sane Nigerians is that you Igbos have joined his thinking with how you ate the apple of terrorism Kanu offered you.

Rather than now apologize to your fellow Nigerians , denounce Kanu and retrace your steps, you continue pushing the discredited narrative IPOB are justified saints in comparison to bandits , Boko Haram, ISWAP etal.

Look at even your last sentence. Is secession from Nigeria allowed without constitutional amendment? You know it is not yet you keep backing IPOB's lawless pursuit of secession.

Yet you have nothing at all to say about your Igbo legislators who can move for the inclusion of a secession clause in our constitution yet fail to do so.

Shame on you finger-pointing folks who don't realise the other fingers on your hand point back at you when you indict others with one finger.

CyynthiaKiss:
I am so disappointed in the election outcome..

Anambrarians will now see Soludo’s true colour.. This man doesn’t mean well for you based on his antecedents.

Typical character of Okorocha, Joe Igbokwe and Benjamin Kalu

Learn to respect the fact that democracy is about the will of the majority and not the opinion of single individuals like yourself.
