I will puncture your emotionally driven statements once again.....

You wrote: The problem with Yorubas is that they thought Nigeria started in this fourth republic.Colonial era, first republic, second republic and third republic, why not start from there.

Nahhh! You are wrong Bro! You erroneously reached that conclusion. Those were the golden era of the Yoruba race:
First TV station in Africa
First University in Africa
First Sky-Scrapper in Africa
First Football Stadium in Africa
First Modern Sea-Port in Nigeria
First Professionals in Many Professional endeavours in Nigeria were Yoruba people etc etc etc etc etc etc

This is just to give you some timely reminders. In fact,SW was like a Sports Car in top speed impeded by the contraption called Nigeria which was like a slow moving train

You wrote: Igbos play more sophisticated politics than Yorubas. Buhari won SW with 260k votes while Atiku won only Anambra with 490k votes.

Bro,this only buttresses the sophistication of the Yorubas! We don't put all our eggs in a basket. In fact,in a Yoruba family of five eligible voters,each may decide/choose to vote for separate and different parties and candidates! Bro,it is an advantage. We don't lose entirely,like you people! You have nothing to show for all your decades of support for PdP. See,if PDP wins the presidency,there are prominent Yoruba politicians who will be given prominent political positions.Dwell on this,that is why we don't give block votes like you do.

You wrote: Betraying your neighbor for a pot of ewedu is not sophistication. It is treachery.

When nPDP decamped to APC, we knew it is over for Jonathan. But we rather sink with him than stab him at the back.

We are not traitors

See,I will not respond to these emotionally driven paragraphs because It will make me descend to your level. Why is it that one cannot have a decent conversation with you folks? Have I used any insulting words to engage with you?

It's same way your politics is conducted! Peter Obi had to release a statement chastising his supporters for the hatred being spewed online.

Until you guys learn to be strategic,forward thinking,drop that sense of superiority complex etc I'm afraid you will continue to be at the losing end of the gains accruing from the commonwealth!

Yorubas have every reason to turn violent based on the June 12 1993 political treachery but we didn't! It ended with two Yoruba men becoming the presidential candidate of the two major parties in 1999! We did not become emotionally driven like you guys,but you guys don't even see that you are emotionally driven,go read up about what people who can't see beyond their grievances and premordial sentiments become and how they act.

So,I will not insult you using a type of food you consume,I will not label you a traitor not because there aren't adequate adjectives but it will make me do what I'm accusing you off. Do you now see how silly it sounds when you make statements and refering to "ewedu" etc It lowers your pedigree. Sir,you can do better than that

OFFICIAL336:
The problem with Yorubas is that they thought Nigeria started in this fourth republic.

Colonial era, first republic, second republic and third republic, why not start from there.

Igbos play more sophisticated politics than Yorubas. Buhari won SW with 260k votes while Atiku won only Anambra with 490k votes.

Betraying your neighbor for a pot of ewedu is not sophistication. It is treachery.

When nPDP decamped to APC, we knew it is over for Jonathan. But we rather sink with him than stab him at the back.

We are not traitors.

Your "We started politics before the SW" got me laughing out loud because we have never seen or experienced the results of that your long years of politicking! I mean, what has been the results? In the last 22 years of return to democracy,a Yoruba man was president for 8 years and another is about to spend 8 years as VP! So,maybe it's not about how long but how well!

OFFICIAL336:
SW votes is not a threat to us.

We have the numbers to split SW votes. My polling unit is in Lagos and I'll vote for Peter Obi.

In my part of Lagos, we just elected an Eye Ndi Igbo to help us coordinate Igbos in the area.

The reason we are supporting Atiku and Kwankwanso is because they will piece Northern votes.

If Tinubu chooses a Christian VP, North East and North West will be shared by PDP and NNPP.

Tinubu can't get much votes in SS and SE.

If APC picks Northern candidate which SE APC is pushing for, South and NC will be open for Labour to take.

We calculated our moves before going to Labour party. We started playing politics before SW.

We are not inexperienced like our neighbors that think betraying their neighbor is political sophistication.

Thank you again for further clarifications for the emotionally driven and blinded political analysts

Philipponzaghi:
Go and check the SW votes anytime a Yoruba man is on the ballot.

Check 1979 & 1983 —Awo got bloc vote

Check 1993 — Abiola got bloc vote

Check 1999 — Falae got bloc vote

Check 2003 — Obasanjo got bloc vote

SW will only give 55/45 when none of the top 2 candidates are Yorubas. Why are Nairaland parading political neophytes like this?

Which Kwakwanso in the North? Kwakwanso can only get Atiku voters votes and not the APC themselves.

Peter Obi winning SE massively for Labor party is a win for the APC. I hope you know your point only supported my arguments? The main goal is to water down the SE votes for PDP which is like now 90% reality.

As regards to IPOB boycott, check Anambra election turnout. Are you proud of that turnout? That was due to IPOb effect. If they churn out that turnout in presidential election then the SE votes will now be 3% instead of the earlier 5% Buhari claimed.

Bro,well done! This is the most concise and accurate assessment of what Will happen. Choosing a SE V.P candidate (which he will) will not bring much political capital to Atiku.

Philipponzaghi:
Peter Obi LP is a huge problem for Atiku and a very big plus for APC.

The SE votes will be very very low and a lot of factor will affect it.

—Some people will vote Peter Obi Labor party

—Some people will abscond from voting because there will be apathy

—Some people will vote for PDP because of the governors

—IPOB will declare sit at home and some won’t come out to vote. Only those that can be guaranteed security by the politicians.

In all, no matter how you read it, Atiku vote in the SE will be so so diluted to make any sensible difference.

Atiku will be a compound fool to select a SE VP. I will tip him to select a SS VP if he get political brain this time around.

Sir,how do you arrive at your assessments?
Has Osinbajo ever contested any election?
He was a mere commissioner!

How deep could the relationship he has built be when he only attained national prominence by virtue of his being the VP through the benevolence of Tinubu who he is contesting against!

Someone(Tinubu) with a long track record of building bridges across the nation with several politicians across the nation who can attest to their long term relationship!

So Sir,can you say Osinbajo has this attribute?

MikoB:
As it is, the only sure aspirant in the apc that will beat Atiku in the apc is Osinbajo, reason been that PYO is the only aspirant that is acceptable in all the six geo political zones in the country, you will be amazed that Osinbajo has more support in the middle belt more than any support he enjoys in his region of South West, also the work he has put in for many months have began to manifest, his candidates won in benue, oyo and adamawa for the governorship to the surprise of many, but for the people that follow him were not surprised anyway. As for the primary coming up, Osinbajo is going to win, because the party knows he is the only one that can guarantee victory, let me talk a little bit about other aspirants, and their weaknesses, Asiwaju no doubt is a big politician any day any time, but he miscalculated, he was hoping on southern candidates for both apc and pdp base on the clamour at that time, so he did not bother himself to allign much with the SS and SE also with the Christian communities of the Middle belt, his calculation was that once pdp gives her ticket to either a ss or se person, he will surely have an upper hand in his region of sw and also do very well in the nw and ne, which normally would have guaranteed victory for him but with Atiku as the pdp candidate now, Tinubu wil need new strategy.

Ahmed lawan candidacy wil not fly, because Buhari is about to finish his two term regime under apc, it is impossible for apc to give another northerner her ticket, also Lawan cannot defeat Atiku, one, because they are from the same region of NE and everyone knows Atiku is stronger than him in the NE, Atiku and Kwankwaso will do very well too in the NW, the NC wil be divided among the aspirants, so coming to the south, he will not do well at all no matter whom he picks as his running mate, I trust the south westerners they will not vote for him, the south east has Obi and the south south will be shared depending on whom Atiku picks as his running mate, so lawan will not fly.

Amaechi is another candidate that might do well if given the ticket but his problem is that he has no political base at home and his region, but if he has the support of the president he might be able to put up some fight, but that does not guarantee a victory against Atiku.

With due respect to all other aspirants that I did not mention their names, even if Buhari endorses them and they pick up the ticket for the apc, they will not be able to defeat Atiku.

Osinbajo is the only candidate, that will win very well in SW, and also likely win the SS and not do badly in the SE, he will win in the North Central, he will not do badly in the North East because of some Christian population there, he will not do badly in the North West because apc controls most states there and also because of Buhari, so in all, Osinbajo will likely win 4 regions, either will like it or not, religion and ethinicty still play a big part in our politics in nigeria, and I guess these are going to be of advantage to Osinbajo, no wonder he is a movement in the christain dominated states of plateau, benue, Taraba etc.

This isn't a work of fiction. It's the culmination of over 10 years of my research. I'm posting truth that has been supported by different sources. Every information I post is fact.

You can check my other threads.

I guess now with the benefits of hindsight,I have been proven right in my assertions. Leadership requires strategic long term planning and not emotional vituperations.

Hmmm! It's amazing that you are denying the existence of the esoteric because if you claim there's no God that it equally implies you don't believe in the spiritual! And you are a Nigerian!

You have seen fetish sacrifices at T-junctions placed by people,and you know people trade in body parts etc so you think it's all for nothing? It also implies you have not personally experienced anything supernatural! Interestingly,it doesn't matter whether you believe or not the spiritual is at play in your life!

It is well with you Sir

FERNANDEZISBACK:
31?what was God doing?
Smiling as usual?so sad..
Can we now accept the fact that he doesn't exist cos if he exist he would have found a way to save those persons..

No sensible father will watch his kids stamped to death..
They are gonna insult me for sure but will never think about my statement..if God was truly alive why didn't he save those people...?

Modified: Christian extremist are really insecured..look how they keep insulting their God without bringing logical proof and statement..
My statement remains the same..GOD IS MAN-MADE AND HE DOESN'T EXIST..HE WAS CREATED BY HUMAN TO DECEIVE GULLIBLE PERSONS..THE EARLIER YOU UNDERSTAND THE BETTER..STOP WAITING ON A FOLKTALE BOOK TO CONTROL YA LIFE..

It smells of trouble! Go with a competent lawyer because you may not go home that day,and do it Quick,the more you delay,the more the trouble will fester.

LagosNissan:
I tried transferring money from my GTB account only to get error messages.

I thought it was network or app issues.

I tried several times from then till next day but same response.

I tried buying airtime but it failed too.

I now contacted the bank and they said account is restricted/frozen; that I should visit a branch.

I called account officer and he confirmed the restrictions but gave no reason for that.

He was just evasive but hinted that restrictions were placed by law enforcement agency. No agency specifically was mentioned.

I tried UBA and Zenith too, similar restrictions yet no reason.

I use the accounts for legit businesses online and have had them since over 14 years, so can't say with certainty what the issue is.

How do I handle this now as going to the banking hall might lead to arrests etc, so I need to be prepared.

I need suggestions please.

Bro, he has absolutely no idea how 'life' works. He doesn't realize they've opened the drain pipe to waste his earnings.

God bless you Sir. He forgot to consider the 'Nigerian factor' in the equation. He forgot what happened to Nigerian Airways etc . He forgot that these Nationalised Companies will not be headed by the best and capable hands.

Penguin2:
Funny how you can draw comparisons with China to make your point but if Peter Obi did this same thing, you would be among those to call him Obi China…

Now to your argument, do you even understand that China is a Communist Country while Nigeria is Democratic and Capitalist Country?

Or you don’t understand the difference between Communism and Capitalism?

And to those Chinese companies doing well like you said, do you know why? Because they appoint the best brains to head them. They do not appoint based on quota system or due to some ethnic or primordial sentiments and consideration.

Again, in China, once you are convicted of corruption, you are executed publicly which makes the public officials accountable and transparent in dealing with those state owned companies.

Can your aboki senators agree to the introduction of death penalty for corruption in Nigeria?

Please always understand things clearly before putting your mouth into them.

True talk,Bro!

Africa has the best climate for human being to live but sadly we and our leaders has turned it to hell, imagine living in a -10 degrees ice block making machine,it's incredible

That is the reason why sadly an Ibo man may never rule Nigeria as presently constituted.

The body language of our southern brothers is clear so we move to the best option with more guarantee of results

Perhaps in 5,10,15 Years from now when it dawns on you that this man is still in jail,then you will know who the 'loser' is. Go and read about PKK and it's leader in Turkey,then you will realise how governments across the world treat people like this guy.

I am so so dissapointed.

He made the right decision, though.

that's more important than accusing someone of Satan worship.

You see politics, while business-men see competence.

This is a very clever move by APC and it's delightful! It will weed out some aspirants or at least show that they are going no-where!

What you need is a business plan? You don't start or conceptualise a business like this. Regardless of choices determined for you what makes a successful business is a business plan comprising all the information to make an informed decision. There are successful poultry and bakery business owners and bankrupt poultry and bakery business owners.

My 2 cents

halima83:
Bakery or poultry (layer/broiler)?

Please move to fb for broad advice

Bro,do you know that apart from soldiers from every tribe in Nigeria being killed by Book haram,ISWAP etc Northerners and especially Muslims have been the greatest casualty of their terror activities. And so it everywhere in the world,ISIS killed more Arab Muslims than other nationalities and religions.

Now to IPOB,do you know most of the victims are Ibo people and Easterners in general! And that the most affected region is the eastern part of the country economically. Do you know that as their activities increase more Igbo people will die than any other tribes and it may eventually lead to exodus of Ibos to other parts of the country and the destruction of the economy of the eastern part of Nigeria.Governor Soludo made mention of this yesterday.

Do you know 'you' or people from your sphere of influence may be a victim? How will you feel then? Do you know there will be family members of the beheaded couple who supported IPOB? How do you think they feel now?

Dwell on this Sir.

minasi4841:
The thing is that Igbo is marginalize.

Even the army made a post about the killed couple because it is Igbos. Is boko haram not also doing worse in the North?
The ones boko haram is killing why is the army not posting them on their official handle.

Double standard on the IPOB and Igbos

You nailed it! Also,the forthcoming governorship election in Osun state.With Omisore onboard,Ife axis is secured in the governorship election. And with Omisore holding the strategic post of Secretary to APC as a party at the national secretariat,there can be nothing like any sudden "surprises" from Abuja

Indispensable85:
For those who know Nigeria political history very well, seeing these two together truly confirms that politics is all about interest.

The common interest here is obviously Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

They have unleashed the dragon,now there is nobody to tame it!

Some of us saw this coming. It's sad that those murdered in cold blood also supported the IPOB movement without a realization of lies ahead.

By Izunna Okafor, Nnewi


It was a black Friday yesterday in Anambra State, as Unknown Gummen invaded another beer parlour in the state and killed five persons.

The incident, according to reports, happened at Ụtọ Ndụ Beer Parlour in Obiofia Village, Osumenyi, in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity said the unidentified gummen invaded the restaurant at about 8.pm last night and immediately opened fire on customers who were drinking and having fun there, killing five of them, including the owner of the restaurant, identified as Ụtọ Ndụ, who hailed from Amichi, which is a neighbouring to Osumenyi.

Videos from the scene of the incident, which are currently trending on social media also show the that four of the victims were males, while one (the owner of the shop) was a female, each lying lifeless in the pool of his own her own blood.

Sympathizers, friends and relatives of the victims were also seen mourning and lamenting as the corpses were being loaded in a Sienna bus suspected to be an ambulance, for evacuation to mortuary.

A weeping feminine voice was also heard in background lamenting (in Igbo language): “What have we done oooo? Who have we offended? What did we do to deserve all these?”

The Osumenyi attack is coming barely one one month after gunmen invaded the Nnewi South Local Government Headquarters in Ukpor and set some buildings and offices ablaze, after which they also killed a security man guarding the premises.

Recall also that gunmen, on Easter day, attacked another beer parlour and fast food joint, known as the Sophia Fast Food, located close to the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, where they also attacked and robbed customers who were having a fun-filled Easter bash at the restaurant.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra State, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, is yet to confirm the last night attack as at the press time, as he said enquires are still ongoing and promised to revert back to this reporter.

That's the spirit! But even most importantly,ensure you Consult with a professional to guide you.
