I could not have written that at that age and class.

eepeepook:
I’ve seen it. Now what? Nigeria provided her nothing other than heritage. Her host country made her what she is today. She will continue cursing Nigeria while you low self esteem mongrels worship her.

Sorry. You can apply some TPAINOFIN to the affected area. Kpele o

santaclaws:
I'll trace your IP and report you to law enforcement... You've been spewing too much trash lately.

I'm sure if she was Igbo, you'd have started dancing like it's your new yam festival.

You better leave the idiot alone. Sebi mods see everything. They even moved the topic to front page but ignore those funny comments. It's what nairaland has turned into.

RemoveKebab:
sha no enter market because your case will be irreversible.

Lols. I think he is one the few privileged ones to have a phone at yaba left.

I hope this doesn't anger Obi who wants to turn Christian things to night shift things.

I'm also surprised. Didn't Obama win the same election as a black man with direct root from Africa again?

Looking at the link you posted, your comments show that you actually didn't read the post in the link or you read but didn't understand. I think you should read again. The post is basically about arguments on history and not history itself. Of course perceived 'i never belleful' scholars will want to write whatever they wish to. This argument written in 2020 quoted books written in 2004, 2013, 2016 which are just modern interpretation of Africa by people who are of Christian backgrounds and also try to downplay African histories in favour of European perceived know about Africa.

All that is written in those piece are European/Modern points of view on Africa. A very good example is Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Try read it. I need it again myself. But I will tell you something. No African is left out of Oyinbo man's nonsensical writing about the natives of Africa. That's the pure truth. That is why it is being seen that Chinua Achebe wrote gave Oyinbo man a response to 'Heart of Darkness' through 'Things fall aparts' which I also need to read again myself. So your tribe no matter what is also affected by Oyinbo man's rubbish writing about Africa. It's me and you that we are different ethnic groups. Oyinbo only see us as Blackman negro- the monkeys. Sorry bro, it's the bitter reality.

Thanks for making me do a little bit of research this afternoon. I also realized I haven't been reading.

Back your post, I have attached a screenshot from your link. How could Oduduwa who you claimed never existed have also met the Igbos in Yoruba land yet never existed? How could it have been argued that Oduduwa is not from the Arab world but from Sudan yet still never existed? Do you actually argue about the origin of something that never existed

Guy, when you get a piece of information, try to read with open mind first before you start concluding because, obviously you don't understand the content of the write up your posting up and down. Try to learn first bro.

What is offshoot of an tribe existing tribe? A tribe that has many 'offshoots' itself? See dialects of the 'offshoots'

Guy, if you Google major tribes in Nigeria and Yoruba is included, then your case is irredeemable. You can go to court and prove your case! And if you are not satisfied, you can drink a cup of sniper.

There's nothing like "yoruba"

https://www.nairaland.com/8258270/bombshell-oduduwa-yoruba-originator-did

There is nothing like 'Yoruba'? But there are millions of people that identify themselves as Yoruba and even have a distinct language with so many varieties of it . They even have a very robust history with very rich culture!

See, it's not a big deal if the account of their origin they have been citing is wrong. That's not their fault. It's what they know they know. But you saying that their is nothing like Yoruba makes you sound so so stupid. No matter how you see their history, Yoruba is still a major tribe in Nigeria. Can you imagine me saying there is nothing like efik or ibibio? Habba! Stop being stupid na!

Doberman Pinscher is a dog of German origin which started existing in 1890. It then means it never existed before 1890. The task collector who the dog was named after was the first breeder of the dog. He felt he needed a dog with some particular traits. Different dogs had that traits but not one had all the traits together in him as desired So he cross-bred to have what he wanted.
1890 tp 2024 is 130 years now. Does the fact that Doberman didn't exist 131 years ago now mean there is nothing like Doberman?

Even the Bible understands that everything in existence has a date of creation. 'In the beginning, God made heaven and the earth'.

Therefore by your comment, there is nothing like anything. You sound too stupid. Stop it.

simpleseyi:
Idiots and nincompoops are still crying over their loss to the JAGABAN. They will cry till 2031 when we will handover to Shettima/Wike

The guy you quoted said the truth. Nigerians wanted Jagaban and they got him. No Nigeria has the moral justification to decide who Americans want and vote. It's their choice.

helinues:
The recent church night program will cost Peter Obi politically. Trust me

That's a bad publicity

No mind them.

Do they think those GOs will be happy with him for that statement? Do they think Papa Oyedepo is happy to see Obi boast of turning all he has laboured for into night shift hero beer factories?

Mind you, Obi has forgotten that many of these churches are so big that they have employees that are being paid. They have high standard secondary schools and even universities where people are employed and are being paid to earn a living. All Obi sees is hero beer factory!

Imagine the likes of Oyedepo now not giving him attention any longer, they will now say it's tribalism.

Thrasher2024:
Look at them! Foolish cretins, stupid things. All because Donald Trump has won the US elections and Obidients supported Trump. They're now trying to divert attention to Peter Obi.

OP you guys made Peter Obi popular by your foolish assertions. You guys likened Donald Trump to Peter Obi. Yet he won.. get a life.

Ode. Na obidients vote trump enter office na. Trump wey no send unna papa na him unna dey talk am like say na unna obidients votes carry am enter. Nonsense obituary people.

gidgiddy:
These guys think everyone is dumb. Ajayi Crowther wrote a book, nobody knows the content of the book. The only thing they keep parading around the Internet is a page that claims that Crowther wrote a book 😆 🤣 😂 😹

They can't even reason that Ajayi Crowther never spoke Igbo, and could not have written a book in a language he didn't speak 😆 😂

Sorry Bro. It's history dated back to 1800s. I bet your great grandpa wasn't even born then. It is funny you assumed he didn't speak Igbo but wrote a book in the same igbo language. I try to imagine how many foreign languages he spoke let alone local. Mind you, lukumi Yoruba has historical connections to Anioma/Delta. Does that give you a clue now?

Besides, someone can even learn and speak a new language in less than 2 years especially when it is necessary. I once met a Yoruba man that speaks up to 7 languages including Igbo. So what's so strange about igbo language that non-igbos can't speak then? Mind you, in as much as fact you don't have another historical book/facts that states otherwise, then Ajayi Crowther wrote the first igbo book. Question of if he could speak Igbo is low IQ.

Afonja44:
The same Ajayi Crowther that was a fulani slave when Igbos were already trading oil palm with the British at Onitsha? Lol

It's good you are quoting history. But why quote some parts and ignore other parts of history?

Let's just say the man's story was like that of Joseph in the Bible. Joseph was sold into slavery but later became a prime minister. Ajayi Crowther was sold into into slavery too but later a major positive influence on the history of Nigeria. He taught your father's how to read and write. He wrote the first book in your language.

You igbos need to appreciate him.

SlavaUkraini:
After spending millions on their Education, they graduate and can't find a good job.

And you say that Education is not a Scam ?

Dey play.

There are many things you cannot be without education. Strive to be the best even in that field and stop being stupid with message of yours.

straighttalk:
Good

Abi na! Something PeeTobi wouldn't do when he was governor in Anambra. He destroyed properties and offered the owners nothing. Don't be surprised the same PeeTobi will come and allege that the amounts Lagos state government is giving as compensation is too small! His followers will also follow suit and begin dance around the comments. That's the extent of their hypocrisy.

Esama:
Obi will beat Tinubu if Atiku can just step down. Even Yoruba will not vote Tinubu.

Sorry, even sensible igbos who majorly Christians will not vote for him with this nonsense he spewing here and there.

Esama:
There was nothing bad for peter obi went to church and tell his brother his vision and mission. Muslim people also doing the same.

"Yes daddy' was practically begging the church for votes but now sees the church as a problem to productivity just because he wants to please the Muslim north.

shortgun:
If that braindead numkskull in the villa had invested the 15 trillion naira of our money he's stealing to build a coastal highway into providing security.
There will be no sit-at-home disruptions in the Southeast, there will no bandits collecting levies and killing farmers in the North or kidnappers taking over the highways in the southwest and south south regions.

The Idiot will rather steal money he won't need in his life time than make life better for the people

You idiots will never ever be responsible for anything! Are your 5 governors not receiving federal allowance every months? You claimed if Tinubu had invested the money he is spending on coastal road to provide security, there will not be Sit at home? Was it only in the east that he didn't invest the money into security? Why are other parts of the country not enforcing sit-at-home for the same reason? Instead of you people telling yourselves the truth, you keep blaming others for your misfortune. See igbo man blaming a Yoruba man for the havock fellow igbos are recking on igbo soil oo! A big shame on you! I realize it's easier for an outsider to solve your problems than for you people to sit down and talk to yourselves.

naijapikin2:
They don't like hearing tbe truth. This man is speaking the truth. If by now nigerians have not realized that this government Is a sham then we are not ready for a better society.

Mind you... IM NOT IGBO BY TRIBE.

The highest number of votes that brought Tinubu in is from the north not even from SW. Even Obi himself realized that Yorubas chose not to give all their votes to Tinubu after seeing the results of the elections. He realized the north sololey gave Tinubu the victory through their votes. That is why he has been directing his projects to the north in order to convince them because he realized he needs their large number of votes to win.

Now that he is feeling helpless, he is beginning to show his tribalistic intent.

Not good for Nigeria.

APC don give am small knuckle

Which kind knuckle? APC is obviously scared.

Salewa97:
Toh

Makinde should focus on his re election bid as the presidency is far far far away

Re-election ke? Can one run for governorship for a third tenure?

nairalanda1:
Nope. Probably around 150000, 200000 if it was possible

Exactly my take. I will blame the labour union for this.

nairalanda1:
It's like the op, and most nairalanders do not get why we cannot afford subsidy anymore.

For starters, it costs a lot of money to refine crude into petrol, and yet, at the end of the day, people want cheap fuel because 'economy hard'

Well, if we want crude to be 200 naira per liter, that means that for every liter, government would pay at least 800 naira. Assuming a fuel consumption rate of 60 million liters a day, that's about 48 billion naira a day, which equates to about 17 trillion naira a year.

Well, I haven't included transport costs...so including them could lead to something like 20-25 trillion a year....to be spent on subsidies.

Remind me what our budget for this year was...35 trillion. 20 trillon of that would go on subsidy to get cheap fuel.

At the end, we would have to take a loan of at least 20 trillion naira per annum to pay for the deficit that results from subsidy. That is on top of the loans that we are still paying off.

You know what that meas for our economy.

Oh, and the above calculations assumes there is no smuggling. With smuggling, consumption goes as high as 90 million liters per day. I don't want to calculate the cost implications.






I know people have abused me, and called me names, but with the above cost implication of manitaining subsides as they were in Jan 2023, I doubt that we would want to go back to those days.

The fact is, Dangote is a businessman, and he took loans to build that his refinery. He cannot sell fuel to you at 200 naira per liter and expect to have a working refinery in five years. Remember he has to pay loans, pay his workers an internationally competitive wage, and pay for maintenance and upgrades if neccesary, and also still pay taxes. (Even if he is being forgiven tax on the refinery, his workers still have to pay tax out of their salaries self.).

Infact selling fuel at a loss in the name of subsidy is why we lost 4 refineries, and went from 400000 bpd in 1987 to 92000 in 2012, to 6500 in 2019. (Same issue in Venezuela, whose largest refinery went from 900000 bpd, to 100000 bpd over 2-3 decades of subsides...and last I checked no NIgerians was running the country). Refining petrol is a venture that needs a profit to survive.


Yes, I believe that subsides are necessary. But the thing is, as our budget is, we cannot pay for subsides without borrowing and borrowing. I also have heard repeated comments that 'in saner climes they pay subsides'...when what they do is heavily tax incomes to pay for subsides that go to the poorest of the poor....or maybe they pay the refinery a production subsidy, which might reduce prices a bit...but by not much.


All in all, the era of cheap fuel is at an end.

I try to reason alongside your pattern of thoughts though but looking at the way things are, should our minimum wage now be 70k ?

EmptyGarden:
He did this with Sugar, then Cement… now the ultimate product, Petrol. Na thunder go fire Dangote and his entire lineage. His only business model is monopoly. Thief!

Sebi you were all supporting him when he cried that he wasn't getting crude oil from Nigeria. Now he is getting it but see what he is doing to us all. Me I knew Dangote was not going to behave differently from the way he behaved in the case of cement. Everything has been skewed to favour him a very long time ago. You can imagine him telling the courts to stop importers from importing. You can see now? This is not even about Tinubu but what has been planned when he started building the refinery under GEJ.

Can you even try to imagine what Dangote will do to you if he discovers you want to build a refinery half or a quarter of his in Nigeria? He will fight tooth and nails to make sure your refinery doesn't come to life.

Donaldoni:
GEJ started it

Buhari continued

Yorubas lost out in both administrations

Only Obasanjo was fair to all

Now Tinubu is giving Yorubas what no other tribe would

I feel somehow. But this should make us all have a review of how Yorubas have been treated in the past - unfairly

Sir, Yoruba doesn't even have the highest in terms of number of slots. Hausa does. Aside Kemi, Hausa/Fulani still has 14 out of 22. Are you kidding me

For SE and SE people, you can cry all day but it wouldn't hold water. You no vote for person and you want him to give you equal share of the appointments. Can you too do that? Hausas gave him the highest number of votes and it's obvious in the appointments but i''m surprised some people are still crying Yorubas. Federal character my foot!

IfnobeGod20:
Obi was 100% right, there are churches today that go to services every single day. We have them around us and on mountain tops. In the early morning that they suppose to be engaging in productivity, they are busy bombarding heaven with rhetoric of their prayers.
Well, my church LFC doesn't do that but that doesn't say I should use it as yardstick because I am not blind to my environment.

You are a disgrace to christiandom. So people can visit beer parlour everyday, sit on the phone for hours daily, but can't be visit church? Has any employer actually complained that it's staff abandoned work to sit in the church? Guy, you no still make sense at all. Muslims pray 5 times a day but a muslim will never spew this trash you just typed there. You see why Christians are the problem of the church?

ClearFlair:
Peter Obi was completely right. A productive nation will not spend all their time praying. It is irrational, illogical and insane to suggest that people can jettison work and start living in church. That's not what the bible teaches us as Christians

What are you saying particularly?

1. Do you mean Nigerians dont work?

2. Do you mean its prayers of Nigerians that is dragging Nigeria backwards?

3. Dubai is Islamic country and prayers 5 times a day. Has that stopped their country's progress?

4. Has any company in Nigeria ever complained that it's staff went to pray abandoning duty?

5. Like is it now a crime that I chose to attend church service during my free time instead of beer parlour, night clubs or just gisting with friends for hours? Are those now productive?

6. Or am I expected to work for 24 hours a day ni?

7. Is normal working hours not 8 hours a day again?

Se iwo and PTobi to WA di wayray patapata ni?
