LadyTara: So this morning I decided to try and deposit my old notes. I went cbn.gov.ng ,filled the cash deposit form ,went to the cafe to print it out and took it to cbn branch . On getting there I met other Nigerians who were already waiting for the cash swap program to commence . After hours of waiting ,some men came out and told people that had already added 200 naira notes to the form they filled online to remove it from the cash they want to deposit as they(cbn branch) just received a circular not to accept 200 naira notes as it was still legal tender.
Note: The form below will be given to you at cbn,while you must have your online print out and photocopy of a valid means of identification. |

babaolofin: Lagos was not fortunate to have been built with national fund having being (been) FCT as you said. Without being FCT, and enslaved in Nigeria, Lagos would have developed 10,000% more than it is in 1992 when IBB left Lagos and from 1994 to 1998 that Abacha abandoned Lagos.
The VAT and other contributions Lagos made to the Federal government till date is 1000% more than what the Federal government invested in Lagos. If Lagos were to be independent of Nigeria before Independence till date, the cost of population burden wouldn't have been shouldered by Lagos. Lagos would have converted it into Revenue that is more than the investment from Federal government. Be reminded that this investment is solely from Niger Delta oil.
Lagos has been West Africa Trade hub and regional slave terminal before Nigeria became a country and before the Capital was eventually relocated from Calabar.
Before the British takeover of part of Lagos Island as a Colony, the Portuguese were already doing trade. It is the natural endowment of Lagos and its associated huge business potentials as recognized in the SPIRIT REALM as a City with THREE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES - LAND, SEA and AIR that made the British to want to make Lagos as an extension of London in Nigeria.
Lagos made Nigeria and Nigeria will always be indebted to Lagos.
When IBB left Lagos, I can never forget the statement he made on National Broadcast on the eve of his departure (December 11, 1991). The statement has not changed, even on NTA -International Network it is there. Abuja is a Political and Economic Capital of Nigeria for almost 33 years.
I will answer you later on the second part of your question . Indeed. It is Lagos Island that was the capital of the British colony of Nigeria from 1914 till 1991 NOT the larger Lagos State which on came into existence on May 27, 1967. Lugard wanted Kaduna to be the capital of the British colony because Lagos Island was owned by native Yorubas and the weather was enervating. The British Home government overuled Lugard, and that was how Lagos Island became the administrative capital of the newly amalgamated Nigeria in 1914 because it is close to the sea. The British colonial archives contain all these historical facts. Cc: Seeitsayit |

babaolofin: I did not bother to read your uncivilized essay to the end. Which infrastructure was used to generate huge revenue? The money generated by International trade through the sea was used by the British to develop railway many years before oil discovery. This was less than 10% of the total revenue as the main revenue was remitted abroad by the British and the reason for the amalgamation of Southern and Northern protectorate was because of economic potential of the South. Which infrastructure was on ground before Lagos made huge revenue? Were the European paying taxes to Lagos before moving slaves and produce out Lagos?
It is like your fathers saying the British Petroleum used groundnut pyramid money to explore oil in NigerDelta. Despite over 100 billions of Dollars used to prospect for oil in the North in the last Forty Five years, nothing was channelled to oil prospecting in Lagos in Dahomey Basin. It is individuals efforts and determinations that brought Aje oilfield out and now Ogo oilfield is about to come online. Lagos has been a market that serves countries in West and Central Africa before the British came.
Coming to South West, the South West was the best developed region before the Military came and destroyed the entire South with Unitary government. Also, the Yorubas mistakenly and blindfoldly fought the IBOs.
The internal political crisis of Awolowo / Akintola affected South West, followed by the incarceration and the death of Abiola. The era of military rule was the era of stagnation and backwardness for the South West. This is the era the North caged the entire South using the military.
The development agenda of the South West is intact and the Littoral States of Ogun and Ondo are working towards the actualization of the masterplan after postwar era of Military enslavement till 1999. That was a great submission from you @babaolofin. In addition, until May 27, 1967 when Lagos State was first created for the indigenes by General Gowon, over 90% of the current land area of today's Lagos State, such as Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju Lekki, Ikeja, Agege, Orile Iganmu, Mushin, Isolo, Amuwo Odofin, Ojo, Badagry, were all under the Western Region Action Group government of the great leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN. Ikeja GRA and the great industrial hubs of Ikeja Industrial Estate, Ilupeju Industrial Estate, and Oluyole Industrial Estate in Ibadan were established by Chief Awolowo's Action Group party goverment from the 1950s. Apapa Port was indeed the point of entry or export of Western Regions finished and semi-finished goods. So, Awolowo's regional government generated sustainable income and gave free education right up to Agege, Ibeju Lekki, Badagry, to Agbor to Asaba. History lessons in the media truly have to be emphasized otherwise these younger generation will keep mangling history. |

Politics › Re: Reno Omokri: What Queen Elizabeth II'ss Death Exposes About Biafra by XAUBulls: 6:40pm On Feb 15, 2023 |
TheNiceGuy: HISTORY NEVER DIES....
By Reno Omokri
What Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Exposes About Biafra
First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.
When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.
However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.
But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.
So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.
The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.
I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.
She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.
And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.
That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.
But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.
One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”
Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.
We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.
My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?
Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.
This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?
I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.
So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.
Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.
After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.
I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.
Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.
The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!
There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.
That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.
So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!
It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.
And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.
The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:
1. Kaduna Nzeogwu 2. Emmanuel Ifeajuna 3. Timothy Onwuatuegwu 4. Adewale Ademoyega 5. Chris Anuforo 6. Humphrey Chukwuka 7. Donatus Okafor
Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.
Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say that have learned very little since the civil war.
22 people were killed during the coup, including
1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa 2. Ahmadu Bello 3. Ahmed Ben Musa 4. Hafsatu Bello 5. Ahmed Pategi 6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola 7. Festus Okotie-Eboh 8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun 9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari 10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde 11. Col. Kur Mohammed 12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema 13. Lt. Col. James Pam 14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe 15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke 16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun 17. Zarumi Sardauna 18. PC Yohana Garkawa 19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo 20. PC Akpan Anduka 21. PC Hagai Lai 22. Philip Lewande
As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria. . (I have since learned that Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe was Igbo. He was in charge of weaponry in Lagos, and was killed when he refused to cooperate with Major Chris Anuforo).
After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.
However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.
These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.
The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.
We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?
And when you point this out, the very same people castigating the late Queen will accuse you of creating ethnic tension? Do you want to be victims and victors at the same time? Leave the woman and her family to grieve in peace. By celebrating the Queen’s death, you are giving Nigeria a very nasty reputation that will affect all of us and not only you. We cannot afford to be seen as a nation with anti British and American sentiments, when we are not able to get a better deal from China and Russia |

justFEARLESS: Hello Guys
I moved to a new apartment early last month, and everything has been fine; a friendly environment, nice amenities and all, but I have only one problem. In our compound, there is a building in front with three and 2-bedroom flats in front of the building my apartment is behind, and it has two rooms and a parlour self-con.
The issue is that the window of my room is directly opposite the window of the bedroom of the people living in the 2-bedroom flat in the building in front. They get a little bit too excited during sex which is like every day and multiple times during the night: yesterday, I entered the house around 9:30 pm, and I noticed they were at it (This one, they didn't even close their window), They were already done before I slept off like 30 mins later, but they woke me up with their weird noise around 1, and it was on like that for like 1 hour, I managed to sleep, but they started again around 4.....
I don't know if they are married(because they don't wear rings or dress like married people), but they are young and live together; alone, but I can't bear this everyday wailing again. So what do you feel is right? If I tell the landlord to correct them, they will still know I am the one that reported because of the proximity of our apartment, and if I try to reason with the guy, it will be somehow awkward because we are yet to really start greeting ourselves sef.
For the record, I am married and blessed with a child, but my family lives in a different city. I moved here because of a program I am running. I will be spending at least 2 weeks here every month. Our landlord doesn't stay in the same compound but stays on the same street. Get ear plugs when you want to sleep or better yet... Take sleeping pills for the next 2 weeks of every month... you'll get enough time to sleep well.  |

Properties › Re: How Lagos Land Scammers Lure Nigerians Abroad To Buy Fake Lands by XAUBulls: 4:24pm On Feb 08, 2023 |
lawyer: Nigerians abroad who want to buy lands or houses in popular areas in Lagos such as Lekki, Ibeju Lekki, Ajah, Epe and Ikorodu etc are at the mercy of fraudulent real estate agents, dubious developers and wayo real estate companies, crooked omo-oniles and dishonest sellers.
They have no one to tell them the truth about the genuineness of the land or house because of the distance between them and the property they intend to purchase.
These Nigerians abroad can only rely on the pictures, and videos the scammers send to them and word of mouth guarantee from the seller that the property is legit but meanwhile it is all a scam. The land or house has many problems associated with it such as:
Fake Owners
Fake Documents such as fraudulent deeds of assignment, fraudulent survey plans, fake C of O, or fake Governors' Consent
Fake location
Problem property that has issues with Lagos State government
Problem property that has court cases attached to them.
Problem property that has outstanding issues with either Omoonile or the community
Problem property that issues as regards debts being owned on the property Wahala property that actually belongs to someone else but was fraudulently marketed as the scammer's property to deceive you
Wayo property that has no good title
These scammers target Nigerians abroad who cannot see the land physically but are anxious to buy land in Lagos. These scammers send Nigerians abroad carefully edited videos and flyers to lure them into parting away with their foreign currency.
These Nigerians abroad who have worked very hard for their money believe these cock and bull stories and end up paying for these wayo lands without verifying the title.
At the end of the day, when the buyer outside the country realizes that he or she has bought a wuru-wuru land, the dubious seller knows that Nigerian abroad cannot cause wahala because they cannot fly down from abroad to fight the land case.
Even if the Nigerian abroad has the money to fly down to fight the property scammer, the property scammer knows the Nigerian abroad cannot afford to stay long in Nigeria to fight land cases.
The scammer knows the worst the Nigerian abroad can do is to threaten, bark and shout on the phone. At the end of the day, no land or house and no refund. Case closed. Unto the next abroad mumu who wants to buy a land or house from abroad without verifying it properly.
For example, we received an email from one Folake living in Houston who is a victim of a popular real estate company marketing an estate in Ibeju Lekki.
She complained bitterly that she subscribed to purchase a parcel of land from the real estate company after the real estate company sent her beautiful pictures and compelling videos about the proposed estate.
She was advised to pay in full so that she would get her own allocation but it has been more than 1 year now since she paid without getting any allocation for her property or refund. She regrets not verifying the real estate company to save her money.
Another man named Mr. Osagie living in Kent called to tell me of his experience buying a parcel of land that was recommended to him by an Agent in Lakowe.
He was told that the land was close to Abijo GRA and it had no issues. He said he wanted to fly down to see the location and the seller but his job prevented him from doing so and he had to rely on the pictures and videos of the agent.
He spoke with the alleged Owner on the phone and transferred ₦14,000, 000 to the Seller. The seller helped him get a lawyer who drafted the documents.
He said when he came back home 6 months after the purchase, he was shocked to see that the location of the land was opposite the Abijo GRA and was far inside the Abijo community with only villagers there and no visible amenities.
He later discovered that the land itself was a committed land that belonged to the government and he could not build on it. All efforts to get the seller and agent proved abortive and he had to abandon the land and fly back because of his job.
A third complainant Mrs. Awuse a nurse living in Dublin is now in big trouble with her bank because she took a huge loan to buy fictitious acres of land along Monastery road towards Mopo Ibeju believing them to be genuine lands close to the beach not knowing the lands were not available for sale and belonged to the Oba of Lagos.
The developer marketed the lands for her as an investment deal that should not be passed. She actually flew down to Lagos to see the location of the land but due to time constraints she could not agree on the fee.
Weeks after she got back to Dublin, the developer told her that her price has been accepted. She ended up transferring over ₦88 Million Naira to the developer for 2 and a half acres of land.
She presumed since she had seen the land and the developer, the lands were genuine only for her to receive an email from an agent that connected her to the developer that the area where her land was located had been taken over by policemen and officials from the Lagos state lands bureau.
Because of her job, she could not come down immediately so she contacted her relative who coincidentally knew me because we had worked together and I had saved her millions from land crooks.
Her relative was very angry with Mrs. Awuse for not letting her know she was about to pay for unverified lands and at the end contacted me to look into the matter.
Unfortunately, there was nothing to look into. The lands belonging to the developer actually belonged to the Oba of Lagos and the Lagos State Officials came there to cordon off the area from trespassers.
There was nothing I could do. End of story. A simple search would have discovered this wahala and saved Mrs. Awuse ₦88,000,000. The developer to date has not refunded her money and the matter is just going up and down with no end result.
Nigerians living abroad should not be victims to these real estate con artists that would do anything to make you part with your hard-earned foreign currency.
Buying a land or house back home is a good thing that every Nigerian outside the country desires to do but it should be done with smartness, intelligence, and caution so that you don't fall victim to dubious property scammers.
Don't fall for videos, flyers, pictures, or wonderful verbal reviews by the agent, seller, or developer. Shine your eye. Na Nigerians we be. If they can scam Oyinbo anyhow, why do you think you are not their next target?
Don't squander your money. Verify the next land or house you intend to buy with Omonilelawyer to avoid stories that touch the heart. Don't lose your hard-earned money to land swindlers in this economy by purchasing a house or land with a Wayo Title document! The pain, stress, anguish, and grief would be too much for you to bear.

yungchap: *THE ACES*
2 Bedroom Terrace Bungalow For Sell ( Pay & Pack in).
The Aces is a collection of holiday style 2-bedroom terraced bungalows located in the fast developing, serene town of Epe, Lagos.
The idea behind this project is to build a community where people can own homes which can either be used for regular residential purposes, holiday homes or for investments that would yield insanely good returns (we can show you how).
To achieve the quiet and serenity of a holiday home which The Aces promises, we will be providing;
A Dedicated transformer Central, Backup, Sound-Proof, Diesel Generators

Swimming Pool Well equipped GYM Outdoor Bar Lawn Tennis Court Indoor Game House Sit-Out area
To ensure the estate is well lit and secure, we would also be providing 24/7 Security as well as CCTV surveillance cameras & Solar street lights
There would also be a mini-mart and a pharmacy just in case you want to grab some groceries or maybe you’re feeling a little bit under the weather and want to grab some pain relief.
These ancillary facilities would be in a 1000sqm land space we call ‘The SPACE’
To ensure your holiday style living experience is not altered by frequent trips to the market, or by any errands that would take you out of the estate, we’ll be having an on-site errand service that would help you run errands, just in case you want to cook that special pot of cat fish pepper soup.
At The Aces, we are building a community where you can Live, Relax and Earn.
So whatever you are looking for, whether it is a residential home in a peaceful estate, a holiday home with all the features you need to relax during the weekends, or on other holidays, or a real estate investment that would give you fantastic cash flow, The Aces has got you covered.
Getting a property at The Aces is easy, we have introduced a zero-interest, 12 month payment plan that makes it easy for the discerning mind to own a unit at The Aces.
A unit of the 2-bedroom terraced bungalows currently sells for N16.5million and with a deposit of N2.5million, you can secure a unit at The Aces and spread the balance over 12 months at ZERO interest.

Politics › Re: Ayo Adebanjo: If Obi Loses, A Christian Southerner May Never Be President Again by XAUBulls: 4:06am On Feb 04, 2023*. Modified: 12:45pm On Feb 08, 2023 |
Acidosis: Hon Gbajabiamila was a solid Christian few years ago. A strong member of House on the Rock.
He switched to Islam to become the house of rep speaker on Tinubu's instruction and advice. He's still a Muslim till date to sustain his relevance in politics.
I don't support the threats though. We should be ready to accept the outcome of the elections and, of course, the consequences. @Acidosis, dude stop spreading lies here! 'Femi is from the larger Gbajabiamila family of Lagos and they are majorly Muslims. I know that family very well in Nigeria and the U.S. You claimed to be of Yoruba descent on one thread I read so you ought to have known these facts. Incidentally I have been on NL since 2005 and I have been reading your posts for years and you seemed to me like a level-headed guy. But this election cycle has exposed you as a having a strong element of bigotry and a complete change in your personality. How dare you tell a lie that Tinubu compelled 'Femi Gbaja to become a Muslim in your second to the last paragraph? This is a pure lie and defamatory and I will not let it slide on this public forum! I'm not a fan of Tinubu, or the trashy brand of politics played by Atiku, Peter Obi et al. in that country, but truth must be told. |

Afamed: Jonathan is a Southerner and Christian
Obasanjo is Southerner and Christian
Aguyin Ironsi, a southerner and a Christian Ernest Sonekan is a Southerner and Christian
That is 4 Head of state/ Presidents from South and all Christians The question, we should ask ourself,
Who has been a Southerner Muslim President in Nigeria?
Southerner has never produced A Muslim President before.
Papa Adebanjo, posterity will not be kind to people like you for misleading people who might not be old enough to know the history in Nigeria,
Pa Adebanjo , history will not be kind to you for hiding bitter truth from these your grandchildren simply because of the peanut you are getting from Obi
The only southern Muslim, who could have become the President was Abiola, he was killed and replaced with another Christian southerner, (Obasanjo) heaven did not fall.
Baba Adebanjo , you have a day with your maker, for hiding the truth from these children |

ogododo: https://www.thecable.ng/ayo-adebanjo-if-obi-loses-a-christian-southerner-may-never-be-president-again/amp This old man talks way too much these days! Adebanjo was jailed in the early 1960s alongside Awolowo, Enahoro and others on false, trumped up charges by the alliance Federal civilian government that took over in 1960, and General Yakubu Gowon set all of them free in 1966 because they were all innocent. I appreciate Adebanjo for his past sacrificies as a younger man because he was wrongly jailed. But respect yourself Pa Adebanjo and let others do the talking for themselves! Period. |

betshopagent: but buhari was sick when you voted him? Not saying you are wrong but buhari was in same state as tinubu's health when all northerners joined hands in voting him in. |

Thinkam: Let Tinubu sell himself to northerners, the way buhari sold himself to Yorubas.
It's a simple task, but fact remains.

Arrewa: We'll not vote in a sick president!!
We'll not vote a president that is visibly corrupt and greedy!!!
We'll not vote an incapacitated President!!
Why not present us with southerners like Amaechi, Rochas or even Osinbanjo??
Tinubu is a no no!!! |
