While this man's pain is understandable, he went overboard in his criticism because the Minister of Defence is a Muslim from the North, the Minister of State for Defence is also a Muslim from the North, the Chief of Airstaff is also a Muslim from the North!
So, Yusuf's careless rant about Muslim-Muslim ticket/Presidency, if true (and NOT a fake news) was highly irresponsible and an insult to the human intelligence which was CLEARLY targeted at the Xtians in the Nigerian Army.
It was a case of friendly fire that also happened severally during the former President Buhari administration, and other administrations before this, and the current FG leadership must be proactive in communicating directly to the folks weekly via YouTube, radio, and other means to give them hope, and also pay the necessary compensations to the family of the bereaved. Muslims eventually see good and bad events as the will of God and they'll gradually get over it.

Your rights are not absolute, it doesn't supersede the rights of the sovereign Nations and the rights of transit states because at the end of the day, they call the shots, not the UN or even you.
It is also important to warn that landlocked Igboland should not be deceived by the success of the few rich landlocked countries like Switzerland that specializes in finance, which does not travel by boat, and its high-end manufacturing is integrated with Europe's single market. Also, Botswana, a middle-income landlocked country, exports diamonds, which are shipped by air. Pointing at such countries offers little hope to a landlocked Igboland without similar natural resources and with people that are heavily involved in the importation of heavy goods in containers
~~~~ The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 provided rights for land-locked states on the sea. More importantly, the convention provided them with the right of access to and from the seas and freedom of transit. However, the law makes such rights subject to the agreements to be made by land-locked and transit states. This, in turn, depends on the prevailing relations between the concerned states. If they are not in a smooth relation, the transit states may not be willing to negotiate and thereby put impediments on the land-locked states’ free transit.
The political will and commitment of transit states highly conditioned the rights of land-locked states. The denial of free transit, in turn, affects the rights of land-locked states...
jamesversion: Do Not Be Deceived: Igboland Is Landlocked And Will Face Economic Hardship By Churchill Okonkwo
It is also important to warn that landlocked Igboland should not be deceived by the success of the few rich landlocked countries like Switzerland that specializes in finance, which does not travel by boat, and its high-end manufacturing is integrated with Europe's single market.

BY CHURCHILL OKONKWO, MAY 19, 2020
Chinua Achebe, in Things Fall Apart, tells a story of Okonkwo, the main character, who was banished from his village of Umuofia for accidentally shooting a young man. When it was time for Okonkwo to return, after seven years in exile, he instructs his wives and children to prepare a huge feast for his mother's kinsmen in a gesture to show his gratitude for their support. When asked why he was “overloading the table with food,” he said, “I cannot live on the bank of the river and wash my hands with spittle.”
Suffices to say that like Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart, Igbos who are known to be outgoing are not washing their hands with spittle, because across the Nigerian landscape, they are living right at the banks of the Benue River, Kano River, Kaduna River, Ogun River, Sokoto River, Cross Rivers, etc. They also thrive at the banks of these rivers and “overload” their abode with human and infrastructural development.
Unfortunately, every now and then, one of the most absurd analyses by the proponents of an independent state of Biafra which is that the five Igbo states in imaginary Biafra is not landlocked makes it to the mainstream media. Last week, in a piece “It is a lie: Igboland is not Landlocked” published in Sahara Reporters, Aloy Ejimakor presented what looks like overwhelming evidence on how easy it is to transfer Apapa Port to the banks of the “Atlantic” Oguta Lake in Igboland for the business of shipping. 
As expected, those without a good understanding of the Nigerian physical and human geography; no good grasp of the maritime industry, and no clue on the economies of shipping and logistics are attempting to push water uphill. The campaign to entice Igbos to withdraw from the waters off the coast of Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, etc. is an attempt to force the waters to flow uphill.
Forget about the “dredging” of the Oseakwa River in Ihiala, the Azumiri River, or the “Atlantic Ocean” at the mouth of OgutaLake, the truth is that Igboland is landlocked and will suffer, economically. Do not let anyone deceive you about that. All you need to confirm that is to consult a good physical geography teacher. If you do not have one, simply go to Google Maps on your phone and look for blue markings indicating water bodies and decide for yourself how close the Atlantic Ocean is to Igboland. It should be that simple, if only you approach this quick visual research with an open mind.
Here are some facts per World Bank economists working on trade logistics issues, being landlocked is a major reason why 16 of the world’s 31 landlocked developing countries are among the poorest in the world. According to the Economist, of the 15 lowest-ranking countries in the Human Development Index, eight have no coastline. All of these are in Africa.
Without seaports, these landlocked countries pay more and wait longer for imported food, and other goods. Also, they have an equally hard time exporting, with the result that they trade less and grow more slowly than their coastal neighbors. A quick look at the map of Africa and the location of Central African Republic, Burundi, Niger, Chad, South Sudan, Mali, and Burkina Faso, will give you an idea of what it means to be landlocked. So, it is clear, the most obvious handicap of Igbo people who are known for international trade will be moving goods to and from ports.
It has been augured that the actualization of the state of Biafra does not mean that Igbos will be forced to come back to the land-locked states. We are told that we will still have access to the ports in the neighboring countries around landlocked Igboland and as such can easily import and export goods and services. A counterargument is that if Igbos are forced to pass through dozens of police checkpoints between Lagos and the Niger Bridge, Onitsha, under one country Nigeria, how many roadblocks will be put in place if Biafra is an independent country?
Just imagine that for a moment.
Now, imagine also what will happen if the same blockade is put in place from the northern, southern, and eastern boundaries all around Igbo land. How on earth will such an independent state be independent economically? If the movement of imported heavy goods must be re-transported inland to landlocked Igboland, how on earth will the economy be viable?
I am a teacher who makes use of graphics to help my students understand some concepts that would otherwise be difficult to grasp. So, for clarity and easier comprehension, I ask that you pause here and take another look at the Nigerian map. Pay particular attention to the location of Apapa, Port Harcourt, and the new Lekki Deep Sea Port under construction. Then, slowly move your eyeballs inland towards Igbo states for a good understanding of why seaports are sited on the coast of major water bodies. So, forget about emotions and sentiments, a sea is a sea and a river is a river.
So, do not let anyone deceive you, international treaties can promise access to the oceans, but the responsibility for implementing them lies with the governments of the "transit states". Now, imagine how happy and eager the minorities in the Niger Delta region will be to help build infrastructure that would mainly help their landlocked Igbo neighbors. They have little incentive to.
Also, just like Nigeria has closed its borders for months now, transit states to landlocked Igboland can interrupt commerce making the economic viability of landlocked Igboland difficult. For Nigeria with known civil strife between ethnic nationalities, landlocked Igboland will have to reroute trade at exorbitant cost, reducing their competitiveness. You cannot argue with facts.
It is also important to warn that landlocked Igboland should not be deceived by the success of the few rich landlocked countries like Switzerland that specializes in finance, which does not travel by boat, and its high-end manufacturing is integrated with Europe's single market. Also, Botswana, a middle-income landlocked country, exports diamonds, which are shipped by air. Pointing at such countries offers little hope to a landlocked Igboland without similar natural resources and with people that are heavily involved in the importation of heavy goods in containers.
From the analysis, above, you will see that it is not necessary to tell a wise person to get out of the sun. We are Igbos and we are wise. There should, thus, be no need for anyone to tell us that land-locked Igboland is an economic disaster waiting to happen.
On a final note, when you show the moon to a child, it sees only your finger. Sadly, no matter the size or how full and bright the moon is, people who want to see the Atlantic Ocean at the banks of Oguta Lake or Otamiri in Imo state will see one. But, do not be deceived, landlocked Igboland will be an economic disaster. As my father used to say, I am a teacher and my responsibility is to keep teaching irrespective of whether the students are listening or not.
The worlds of the elders do not lock all the doors; they leave the right door open. Igbos should not lock themselves up. Rather, we should leave the right doors open as we work for an equitable and better Nigeria, for all.
dangotesmummy: she started as cruise then she started taking the joke too far by going to social media naked everytime and kept telling men not to slide into her DM for serious relationship or love they should only DM her if they want to fvck and pay her.
Initially it was all fun and cruise for her until she started getting social media attention and started getting viral and paid and instead of quickly changing and using her social media fame for something reasonable she kept uploading pictures of her smoking shisha, pictures of her calling her vagina ISU OBO and putting it out on social media shouting that men should come and fvck her at a discount price.again if she's able to get a man that loves her and Is ready to overlook her social media nuisance value,his friends will keep reminding him and showing him her videos where she carried bell and put her hand in her vagina on social media for men to come and fvck her,then at least 1 or 3 of his family members who uses Social Media will definitely know Mandy because she's always posting videos of herself whenever she's going to different men's house (that she calls customer dada) some of her clients pay her in dollars and she shows the money on social media.she has even recruited dumb girls like herself telling them they'll be broke and sad dating for love and getting married instead they should do olosho that Olosho will give them quick money where they can travel All around the world that poosy buisness is more lucrative and girls should stop wasting it on marriage.
At some point sef I was wondering whether her father is alive for him not to even talk to her then I learnt she's a product of a single mother and she's thy one that feeds her mom and younger siblings so they don't have mouth to correct her
While reading this post, I wondered if this girl's parents were still alive and just at the very last paragraph, you answered my question. There are single mothers who raised their kids well with or without the support of their immediate family members. But in certain situations, if it's gonna go bad, then it's gonna go bad.
She needs a certified personal mentor to guide her in becoming more self-aware, otherwise the money she claims she has will simply disappear!
dangotesmummy: You portrayed and called yourself president olosho and they treated you exactly the way you called and presented yourself so why are you complaining?
You didn't know that the olosho persona you put out there will backfire?
In one of your videos you said your poosy took you to dubai.do you also remember when you were filming yourself with nairamarley half naked in the bedroom saying how nairamarley fvckrd you well.you still really expect a man to take you seriously? Remember you also have a tattoo of nairamarleys face on your laps which you have exposed several times on social Media? Do you really expect a man who wants to marry you to be looking at the face of another mans on his wife's body while fucking his wife?
If you were a man with your sexual history out there on social media Will you marry you?
Remember you said you also fvced Oba Solomon.
I think it's too late to regret.you have already created an image for yourself which is already public knowledge and will be continually used against you even if you marry so forget about men, just have kids and move on since you have money to take care of them.
Again as a woman i would have empathized with you but I can't because I remember a lot of women and even men begged,warned you and appealed to you on social media telling you to stop and you told them to mind their business because you're the owner of your poosy and you can do whatever you want with it so my dear Mandy live with the consequences of your decision.you made your bed so it's time to lie on it

Christistruth00: Moba Yorubas were settled in moba Lagos well before the 9th Century before Oduduwa whose Son Oranmiyan established the Benin Throne and kingdom was Born They are currently classified with the Awori people but we're in Lagos many Centuries earlier
In the 10th Century when the first Owa Obokun of Ijesha fetched from the Lagos Sea Water to cure Oduduwa's blindness there were already moba Yorubas. In Lagos and he spent 2 months with them
The idol Worshippers Olokun diety was actually a moba King called Seniade that ruled from an Island off the coast of Lagos that has now been Submerged by the Sea.
Some of the moba migrated to Ijebuland and the moba built the UNESCO world heritage 9th Century Eredo Wall near Ijebu and their kingdom included many Islands off the Coast of Lagos
They have now been included with the Awori people but we're actually the Original Inhabitants of Lagos and were in Lagos Centuries before Oduduwa was Born
The Oore of Otun Ekiti migrated from moba in Lagos and is descended from the moba Kings including Seniade
moba is near Victoria Island and their crown predates Oduduwa's own
Yorubas forefathers might not have been great at Technology but God Almighty definitely gave them Prodigious History Art and Music All Glory be to God Almighty
@Christistruth00 Thanks for this info on Moba Kingdom which from the map is located on the Lekki Peninsula facing the Lagos lagoon. I watched the illuminating YouTube video on the Eredo wall and it was mind-blowing. There are indeed major tourist sites in Yorubaland and Nigeria.
With more advanced radiocarbon dating and ground penetrating radars, more excavations will be done to unravel ancient Yoruba history before the Oduduwa dynasty era.
Adolphus Chikezie Anuka Onigbo... "People of the bush." That word in Igala for "slave" sounds exactly Yoruba. This further confirms what the late Attah Micheal Ameh Oboni said in a 2017 interview that Igala came into existence as a result of the FUSION of migrants who moved along River Benue centuries back from Wukari in Taraba (Jukuns are from Wukari) with a significant number of Yorubas and Edos at the Kogi River Niger confluence. Igala is classified as a Yoruboid language alongside Itsekiri which has Yoruba roots with some Edo, and Portuguese words.
Igalas indeed have part Yoruba ancestors and this is why many Yoruba words are easily decipherable in the Igala language.
Ogede is Ogede in Igala Omi is Omi in Igala Oluku is Oluku in Igala Onigbo is Onigbo in Igala Akuko is Akuko in Igala And many more, Etc.
Christistruth03: Can you believe that the Yorubas had a kingdom in Lagos before Oduduwa was born?
It was the Moba Kingdom
Moba Kingdom... That must be in the Ijebu-Yoruba area of Lagos State?
Wow! I'm not surprised by your assertions because archaeologists had found human remains in Ondo State going back to thousands of years ago. The ancestors of every part of Yorubaland are older in age than Oduduwa who only represents a small chain in the history of Yoruba ancestors. If kids had been taught these historical facts from primary schools, the confusion over the true Yoruba origins which many of us now have clarity about would NOT have arisen.
Christistruth00: Apparently the sending out of Ife Princes to found Kingdoms Started with the Obatala dynasty of Ile Ife Kings and there had been at least 93 Obatala kings before Oduduwa All the Ifon Towns in Yorubaland are ruled by those the Obatala dynasty of kings sent to found Kingdoms They Founded Benin,Moba ,Some Ekiti Towns all the Ifon Towns
The Ogiamen are high Chiefs in Benin but the Oba Tried to Relegate.their Position
You're absolutely correct about Obatala.
This is the reason why the Ooni of Ife, Oba Eniola Ogunwusi also stated clearly in an interview that I read last year that the Oduduwa Dynasty is the 3rd royal dynasty in Ife meaning that other Obas had existed before the coming of Oduduwa from Oke Ora.
Second, the Oba Frederick Akinrutan, the Olugbo of Ugbo-Ilaje did say that the original name of Ufe (Ife) is Ugbolokun. The family quarters of the Ugbo-Ilajes exists in Ife till today. These real facts have to be taught to everybody in schools today because Yorubas had existed before the Oduduwa dynasty and Obaship existed before Oduduwa. I felt truly liberated years ago when I finally got to know these open historical facts instead of the allegorical or watered-down history of Yorubaland taught in social studies right from primary schools which falsely placed Oduduwa as the original ancestor of Yorubas but this is false! Oduduwa Dynasty was the beginning of a new ruling dynasty and NOT the beginning of the people of Yorubaland. Obatala, Oduduwa, Oranmiyan, etc, are collectively some of the ancestors of Yorubas.
While Ashewo is Yoruba word. Ashawo is a broken English word, that was borrowed from Ashewo.
Ibos choose that word from the broken side of things. Yes broken English popularize Ashawo as the preferred word for prostitution. And broken English is not specific to Ibos, it’s spoken across west Africa. Even my Liberian and Sierra Leon friends use Ashawo without knowing its origin but know that it means prostitute.
Ire o!
You're correct.
ASEWO/Ashewo is the Yoruba word for prostitute while the "Ashawo" is a bastardized or corrupted version of the Yoruba name Ashewo by Niger Delta speakers who were based or lived in Yorubaland, and which gained gradual use in pidgin from the early 1980s in the hugely popular Wale Adenuga-owned semi-erotic Ikebe Super magazine which sold all over Nigeria back in the day. I used to atimes read the magazine featuring the character Dauda the Sexy Guy back then.
Of recent, the Yoruba word for roasted plantains called BOLI has also been annoyingly corrupted to "Bole" in the Rivers State/Niger Delta area. Why not just simply use the exact Yoruba pronunciation and spelling?... After all hamburgers are hamburgers, hotdogs are hotdogs, shawarma is spelled shawarma.
Ogiso Obagodo who founded Igodomigodo Kingdom was an Ife man who was sent from Ife
He and his followers from Ife founded Igodomigodo!
When the Truth is on your Side God Almighty is on Your Side
Ife Founded Benin!!!!!
Oya!! Wetin you want talk again !! Deal with it!!!!
Cc Seun
Obagodo of Igodomigodo.
A very sound investigative work.
So, the forebears of Ugbolokun which later became Ufe (Ife) had contact before the Oduduwa dynasty started in Ife.
It's the fear of losing out in a power tussle that has made the Oranmiyan dynasty descendant to deny their paternal Yoruba and Ife origins. Their maternal lineage is Bini and they are also Binis so the dynasty will remain. The Ogiamen and Ogiso families should reach a peaceful settlement because it is too late to remove the Obaship dynasty from the throne after over 800 years.
For the Yorubas, the Binis are related through marriage and royal ancestral bloodline ties so whether in Ife or Lagos Island, Binis will be welcome as part of the larger family just like the members of royal families in many European countries are direct cousins or family members.
Dsimmer: I wonder how some people don't use their brain when hearing gibberish.
It was Ife which birthed Oyo empire. So what freedom are you even talking about? Lol 😂As a matter of fact, Oranmiyan was ruling Oyo and Bini at the same time but couldn't rule two at a time thus had to leave for Oyo, even though the Bini didn't want him to leave for Oyo, thus were angry after he left.
Meanwhile, Oduduwa predates the whole existence of Bini. Before Ekaledehan who died in Ughoton was even born, Oduduwa already became an Ife king long ago. Oduduwa descended from Oke Ora to Ife to become the King after Obatala. Now, can you see the name "Oba"Tala? Ife birthed other towns.
The Oba of Benin, the traditional ruler and the custodian of the culture of the Edo people, His Royal Majesty Omo N’Oba N'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II (CFR) on a tour of Our J Randle Center for Yoruba Culture and History. #EdoState#GreaterLagosRising#EdoCulturepic.twitter.com/rGG0ccHFON
The reason for this and other recent visits is very simple.
1) Germany and the UK decided to return some artefacts that were looted from Benin.
2) There was a dispute over where it should go. The Oba of Benin wanted them (they were looted from the Palace) and the Edo State Government also wanted them.
3) President Muhammadu Buhari ordered that they should be given to the Oba.
7) The Oba plans to build a royal museum to house the artefacts, so he came to Lagos with some of the people that will be involved in the museum (eg Nduka Obaigbena) to see how the J Randle Centre is run.
That's awesome... The new JK Randle Center for Yoruba Culture at Onikan, Lagos State is a very impressive model that the Oba of Benin can learn from with their own modifications that would also generate sustainable income from the returned Bini artefacts.
