Tinubu is an astute politician. He knows how power works.

This move is what Robert Green wrote in his book, 48 Laws of powers. Law #2 states that you should use your enemies.

Falana and his son, Falz are big enemies of Tinubu, but now, baba has called them to dine with him and also tap from their wisdom for his own good.

Kingsmeal:
Just a week after Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in as President of Nigeria, some of his Supporters have began to regret their actions, maybe as a result of the hardship being inflicted on Nigerians as regards the 'recently' removed fuel subsidy.

In a Twitter post, the ardent Tinubu Supporter wrote;


https://twitter.com/agbotunde/status/1665614889430274048?t=DOTFkGxsBJmnPLqTLCO0yQ&s=19[/quote]This thread post once again proves that some of you Ibos and some Obi supporters are pathological liars, VERY dishonest, and you are still engaging in trying to destabilize Nairaland with this false post. How this fake post got to the Front Page without proper verification is baffling despite the attempt to introduce sanity and stop hate speech and fake news on this forum 2 months ago by @Seun.


Mynd44, and nlfpmod please take note of the OP's moniker and the ethnically inciting fake news.

ednut1:
Atiku, obi and Tinubu all said they would remove subsidy. Buhari already removed the subsidy. Make una rest with all these propaganda

Olu317:
Adé in léké is royalty triumphant. The crown being translated is literary. Whoever bears such surname or name which has Adé that is related to kingly is that the name is associated with royalty.

Even the "Adébọ̀bóyè" is still royalty despite the description of the name that(arrival to be heralded with chietancy title) may also be interpreted based on whatever circumstances each individuals get to position and gives name to child that was born at that time in history.

Sweden has officially declared sex as a sport and is also set to host its first-ever sex competition.

The participants will engage in sex sessions which can go up to six hours daily.

A panel of judges will decide the winners of the sex competition while the audience will also influence the final decisions.

Your ignorance is appalling. You think the price will remain static till now from 2012? If we’ve allowed GEJ to fully remove subsidy in 2012 and eliminate regulated prices, the price per liter would still be around N500 today so what’s your point?

This woman is economical with the truth. We all know how the ibos dominated the North civil service and taunted northerners before and after the coup that took out Amhadu Bello, tafawa Balewa, Akintola and other non-ibo leaders. That's the origin of the Ibo dislike in Nigeria.

Your people can take a lesson or two in
humility and not being boastful. Reduce your crimes outside Nigeria as well. The crime is the origin of the dislike outside Nigeria.

You may be an Ikwerre man. If you understand the language very well.
Spain and Portugal speak similar language but different people. Ukraine and Poland, Malaysia and Indonesia, Denmark and Sweden including Finland, Urhobo and Isoko, Yorubas and Itshekiri and so on. What is wrong with you Igbos?
Ikwerres don't speak same dialect.
Port Harcourt Ikwerre dialects differ so much with Ikwerre LGA dialects. Emuoha speak a different Ikwerre dialect that may be difficult for you to pick.

chrisxxx:
Food
The Ikwerre people are predominantly farmers and hunters, this is because we have a very fertile soil and forests teeming with wildlife. Our main indigenous meal, which you must find at any major occasion (burials, weddings etc), is a combo of Miniwiri-okazi (with plenty of smoked fish, smoked meat and major periwinkle presence) and Odogoro (Fufu) or Otara-iji (Pounded yam). A typical Ikwerre person of Apara/Rumuapara extraction knows how to Dundu; this is the act of eating your well spiced and smoked fish or meat with your Odogoro or Otara-iji… and without any soup. Yum!

Dressing
The Ikwerre people traditionally use Jioji wrapper. Ikwerre women tie two pieces and a blouse with a head-tie of a different but corresponding jioji wrapper, while the men wear an Etibo top and tie one piece of jioji wrapper with a pair of jumper shorts under.

What do you love most about Ikwerre people?
What I love most about my people is our pride in our land and resources. I also love the language and our indigenous songs. The native lingo in Starboy ft Wizkid and Duncan Mighty- Fake Love gives an idea of this beautiful tongue.
Female dogs are a taboo in my community and many others in Ikwerre-land. This is one of the most unreasonable laws I know of and this continued adherence to a custom which has no significance is something I really dislike about Ikwerre-land.
Tell us about any local or indigenous festivals
One of my favorite festivals is the Egelege festival. It is a local wrestling competition that occurs annually, with neighboring communities competing for the prestige that comes with winning, hosting rights are alternated between communities and so in spite of its nature, it is a sport that builds friendship amongst communities and brings families together.
Please share a few Ikwerre proverbs with us
Nye lo biekun o nye ruhuru soga (It is he who carries the burning firewood that the smoke will follow)

Nshi kamma ke Igo nyorun (The eagle’s shit is best)

Nye doru evu evu gba (He who disturbs bees gets stung by bees)

What do you wish more people knew about Ikwerre people
We are quite welcoming and accepting of people of different tribes.
Our language has many words in common with the Ekpeye , Etche and Igbo people but we are neither any of them. We are a distinct ethnic group.

Greeting style
Ikwerre anu meka!

Dieli!!

This is how an Ikwerre man greets a gathering of other men:

Nderiya mma!

Oyoyo!!

This is how an Ikwerre man greets a gathering of women or an Ikwerre woman greets a gathering of other women:

Oro anu werum o! or Nde wem rishim duru eli!

Owe!!

This is how an Ikwerre woman greets a gathering of men:
When it’s morning you greet by asking; Iwhiala? Answer; Owe

When it’s night you greet by saying; Chibo

At any other time of the day you say either; Iziamu? Answer; Owe.or Nda? Answer; Oburuoma

I got this from an article contributed by Nhaoma Amadi. Hear from him.
My name is Nhaoma Amadi. Nhaoma means ‘Something good’.
My own name is Nyesor. Nyesor means The Heir Apparent. Nyesom as borne by Gov. Wike means the next. It is almost like the heir apparent. But in this case it is specific to the father. The language of the Ikwerres is Ikwerre; unfortunately, for some reason, I’m not as fluent as I’d like to be. I live in my town, Rukpokwu. Port Harcourt City is almost entirely Ikwerre land.

Some of our unique rites and customs include the following:

Nukilia:
He needs a cook and not a wife.

Lazy ass

sukkot:
Happy new month to you too brother. yeah eating dog is just nasty. but you know it takes all sorts of weirdos to populate this earth. they eat monkeys in that region too. just straight up weirdos mayne lmaoooooo

Mrnairalandd:
Let’s talk about this topic you have just addressed without prejudice. Can we? It baffles me when i see the Igbos addressing this sensitive issue with levity. Would Igbos have voted for an igbo man who had used derogatory names(Yamirin) to refer to his own people(The Igbos) in the past and his mother happens to be a Yoruba woma? Would you? You and i know that the Igbos we all know won’t vote for such person. So why are Igbos trying to force this particular guy down d Yorubas’ throats? A typical case study here is Okorocha, the Igbos hate that guy cos his association with the North. The Igbos even refer to him as “Ewuhausa” cos his mom is an Hausa woman. Just imagine Okorocha referring to the Igbos as “Yamirin”, be honest, would the Igbos go ahead and vote for him? The answer ll surely be capital NO.

Finally, if Igbos are not hate-filled people like they say, why are Igbos always oppose the choices of their hosts-The Yorubas in their own land?

Why can’t Igbos work with their hosts-The Yorubas to pick the best candidate instead of going against their preferred candidates with “Block Votes” all the time. It was so bad that the Obas had to invite the Igbos in 2015 to threaten them. Can’t you see this is a provocation that ll eventually lead to war if we don’t call the Igbos to order.

Let me say this before i go, either Igbos like it or not, in eventuality of war, Igbos must go after the war as seen in Sudan and South Sudan case or Pakistan and India case too. UN charter says it all, Igbos ll need to leave if separation is the only way out. However, i believe if Igbos could look inward and tell themselves some truths and begin to respect the political views of their hosts communities, peace ll reign.

In UK or Europe, the white Europeans won’t stand this Igbos attitude as far as politics is concerned. Let me use Sunak UK prime minister as an example. The conservatives delegates who are 98% white people didn’t want Sunak despite the fact he was born and raised in England and speaks fluent English. They decided to pick the lady before Sunak despite the fact that Sunak is more intelligent with track record than Liz Truss(White Brit). Eventually, do you know that Conservatives MPs had to force their way through and voted for Sunak. The MPs realised that the white british conservatives delegates won’t vote for Sunak to lead them…

Mrnairalandd:
Everything you talked about was clearly understood but you seemed not to get my points and many Yorubas’ perspectives about the igbos getting involved in their politics. Let me use Peter Obi and UK as case studies.

In UK, even though it is an advanced country, and over 300years in existence, they understand the need to create a room for ethnicity cos it’s part of human existence. In animal kingdom, animals are naturally territorial even a year old child does want his friend closed to her/his mum. So UK and most European countries paved way for regions just like what is obtainable here in Nigeria.

In UK, they have Scotland- Igbos with Edinburgh(Enugu) as their capital, Wales(North) with Cardiff(Abuja) and England(Yorubas) with London(Lagos). Having lived in England for 50yrs as a Scottish man does change your place of Origin in UK, you are still a Scottish. Can you see how much UK has been able to avoid what is happening in Nigeria right now? There ll be a WAR if you as a Igbo man or Ijaw man want to tell a Yoruba man that an Ijaw or Igbo man is the right candidate for his state. UK could have lump everybody together without Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland if identity with politics are not delicate and sensitive issues.

The reason why there are a lot of tribal wars in Africa over the years is because cos of tribal issues. We are trying to be sophisticated about it but it won’t work. If you ask me, i ll say we are playing with fire, it ll be a war eventually.

Here is another issue, wrong mentality, you talked about how you should be entitled to be a Lagosian by the virtue of being born and raised in Lagos for 15years. No i disagree! There are so many countries in the world that prevent you from being a citizen or indigenous to the land regardless how long you have lived there. We all came from somewhere and that somewhere should be our home.

Finally, you didn’t address one of the main point i raised in my last response to you which is, the Igbos need to stop throwing “Block Votes” to the Yorubas in South West. Individual igbo man should go and cast his vote without making it seems like the Igbos are competing with their host communities.


Our forefathers who fought for independence and federalism knew that we are different people. Only Nigeria state bounds us together nothing more. You can’t come from your Igboland to tell me your Igbo kinsman is the right person to govern me when there are thousands Yorubas that would do a better job. Just imagine this, let’s assume the Igbos wanted to vote for Peter Obi to be the Governor of Abia state but the Yorubas living in Abia decide to build a “Block Votes” purely based on their ethnicity-The Yorubas and begin to campaign for Ngige, naturally, as humans, they ll begin to get agitated just like you see the Igbos in presidential election.

The Igbos need to focus on their region politics if we are to avoid a civil war. And sadly, if Igbos continue to do what they are doing right now, it ll only lead to one thing; it’s war. And sadly, Igbos ll need to leave just like Pakistan left New Delhi for their own capital Islamabad, South Sudanese left Khartoum for Juba and many more. Remember, it got bad that the Oba had to call the Igbos in 2015… There are many tribes in Yorubaland but none behaves like the Igbos.

Beating your chest as a fighter doesn’t mean nothing when the war finally comes. So let’s be real and speak the truth. Politics is like a religious topic, quite sensitive, we need to be careful when it comes to people land.

A friend forwarded a brilliant article on Yoruba surname to me on WhatsApp (He got it from his dad who got it from his classmates'group - I really want to know who the masterful author is) and I think every Yoruba person can learn from it, so I'm sharing it below.

Brilliant isn't it?

gorociano:
Ora Ìgbómìnà is a town that's on the border of Ọ‌ṣun, Èkìtì, and Kwara states.

Please is there anyone on Nairaland that's from the place that can help find out information about my half brothers and sister? One of my brothers name is Femi, a grandson of Ìyá Lasun who had an eatery.

Last time I saw Femi was at our grandfather's house at Onikolobo circa 1989. Kemi, our younger sister, had not been born then.

They were born in Kano and partly grew up there. Last information we have, was the unfortunate demise of their mother who was a nurse.

They may be going by Oladipo or Ajala surname.

Our father is no longer young and spry, and with his generation fropping off the face off the earth, one doesn't know tomorrow.

Death doesn't have an appointment; sickness doesn't book a date.

Please if you have any information, or can help to get it, let me know on the email address that is my monker at Gmail dot com.

Or contact me via Twitter (see attached image).

Yes, I have searched social media multiple times over and I have no lick of information about them

Thank you


Mynd44 nlfpmod dominique please if you can help put on front page, I would be eternally grateful

Funny enough, Shatta Mitchy is the first girl in the 2nd Photo. Some friends are dangerous especially when you have a rich and popular husband... hahaha... No wonder his wife left him

A video went viral of two guys receiving a Mouth Gig from a fair lady. From most of the comments, it was alleged Shatta Wale is one of the guys in the video.
But how did the video leak? Well, Shatta Wale himself posted it on his Snapchat! Abnormal right? But sadly very true. He posted it himself.
Interestingly, he deleted the snap few minutes after but it had already been recorded by some folks and it quickly went viral.

And as usual, Shatta Wale was on his snap after he deleted video throwing jabs at bloggers. Almost every celebrity who messes up in Ghana finds it comfortable blaming bloggers. Shatta Wale claims bloggers recorded it and are spreading to disgrace him. Meanwhile, he posted it himself.

Funny enough, Natty Lee Gh, a fan and a friend of Shatta Wale was on Facebook stating that the person in the video is him and not Shatta Wale. He gave some funny reasons as to how his video got on Wale’s snap.

One question that has been on the lips of everyone since the video leaked is, Who is that lady giving that skillful BJ? Well, she has been busted by social media users.

We on MandyNews.com gathered on social media platforms, the lady in question is a very close friend of Shatta Wale’s baby mama Shatta Michy and she is always seen hovering around Michy whenever they go for any outdoor program.

MandyNews.com has not yet caught the name of this lady, photos of her are already going viral on social media.

More update coming soon.

Creeper:
In as much as dog eating makes my skin crawl - I don’t think this has anything to do with being civilised or not. I read that it’s her culture and as long as it isn’t outlawed in Nigeria - she didn’t do anything wrong.

Eating pig is haram in Islam and to Arabs but in the west, almost everything has pork in it and it’s normal to eat pig. In India amongst Hindus (Hinduism), cow is sacred but people eat cow in almost every other culture. So, would you say those who eat pigs and cows are uncivilised?

But I think she shouldn’t have done it publicly if she’s trying to grow her brand internationally, especially after slaving it up for days, in her conquest for international recognition with a world record. She ended whatever hope she had in the west with this because white people don’t play with dogs and cats. And this is going to follow her everywhere she goes.
