Most Nigerians only condemn corruption/nepotism if it doesn't favor them. I doubt if Nigerians condemn the above when it's in their favor...

I turned a particular age sometimes ago and so I no longer argue online... I just allow people to have their way while I have my peace...

Truth is like pregnancy that's destined to mature... You certainly can't hide it forever...

Happy Nigeria...

Ebin pawa o

At least they are calling out their own. Please
remind us when Igbos ever called out Aguiyi Ironsi while he was destroying Nigeria's foundation with his Unification Decree.
Remind us of the speech made by any Igbo person denouncing Aguiyi Ironsi for not arraigning his coupist brothers before a military tribunal. We are waiting.

Igbo backed NPC and the north when it became obvious that Yoruba are the most tribalistic tribe in Nigeria. At a time a Fulani was winning election in Enugu as a mayor, Awolowo and his tribalistic goons were attending night meetings to make sure omoibo neverwas accepted in the SW. The same thing Sanwo Olu and Tinubu are doing today. Have you heard any Igbo destroy people's property in the East? Level level na.

Azikiwe made it clear right from the beginning that his choice of NPC as alliance partner was on the premise of it being a sacrifice to get Northerners' remain in Nigeria. It therefore had nothing to do with alleged Yoruba tribalism. In 1954 which was six years before independence, Azikiwe had made a long speech in the federal Parliament trying to discourage Northerners from pushing their demand for secession from Nigeria and in that speech declared that he and his Igbo kinsmen would rather have their quest for independence suppressed until Northerners were ready for t independence with the South. Then he added that he and Igbos would not mind paying the ultimate price (i.e having their blood shed) to keep Nigeria one. This was the basis of his choice of NPC as alliance partner and not any Yoruba tribalism.

A Fulani man becoming a mayor in Enugu was not a gesture as great as an Igbo man known as Ebubedike being voted into the Western Region House of Assembly by Yorubas at about the same period. Azikiwe's aspiration for premier of Western Region was actually tribalistic because it was an expansionist mission, else he should have ensured that a non-native of the Eastern Region was made premier there before he himself went to the Western Region as a non-native to seek premier position there if he was sincere about his one-Nigeria philosophy.
Charity begins from home. You use yourself as the first example of what you are preaching.

It takes a man with vision to know Tinubu is a disaster na. At least Edo people realized they made a mistake with Buhari, but Yoruba never dis and will still vote foolishly next time only to cry EBIN PAWA o.

It takes less than a vision for anyone to know that Obi is a bigger disaster than Tinubu.
After all, majority of his own Anambrarians adjudged his governorship a failure but had to change tune in 2023 just because they felt he was the candidate of their ethnic extraction. So you Igbos are guiltier of the tribalism you are quick to accuse Yorubas of. Come to think of it, more Yorubas voted for Obi than the extremely few Igbos who voted for Tinubu. Obi won in many Yoruba dominated LGAs in Lagos and some other SW states while Tinubu lost in all the five SE states. So who between Yorubas and Igbos is more tribalistic?

While Obaseki was still in APC, Igbos adjuded him a failure. But when he defected to PDP and a slim majority of Edo people voted for him to spite Tinubu in 2020, Igbos hailed Edo people as having made the right choice. When Edo people began to cry out against Obaseki for failing them in his second term and therefore stopped mouthing the Edo no be Lagos cliche, Igbos continued to mouth it in of the failed Obaseki. At least Yorubas are calling Tinubu out for seemingly failing them. But for you Igbos, when Obaseki began to fail, you continued ing him till today in his failure. There lies the difference.
While Ikpeazu failed so woefully that he took to sharing kerosene and gifting new mother's in hospital with N500, you Igbos never called him out till his tenure ended. Now that the LP you all voted for has its can of worms being open with stains on Obi and Abure, none of you has called Obi or Abure out but all you have been able to say is that LP is not same as Obidient movement. So who is fooling who?

makemoneywbsite:
1999 - Obasanjo, Yar Adua, Jonathan. It's even obvious that they and to some extent, Edo make the right calls. Why don't Nigerians always consult them for who to vote instead of envy and hatred dragging the country into a hole?

Surprised to see Edo there. The same Edo you lots demonized beginning from 2015 for giving buhari as much as 40% of their votes and because of that you began to label them semi yorubas have suddenly again become a people who vote correctly just because just a part of Edo voted for your brother Obi this time around. Very funny and emotional people called Igbos. I honestly keep wondering where all this sudden uturn about Edo is coming from after seven years of demonization of them by you lots.

You lots used to say here that Edo is not supposed to be part of the SS because Edo votes wrongly against the other five SS states but today you have implicitly avered that in the entire SS only Edo votes correctly just because in the last presidential election Obi got the highest percentage in Edo and had lesser percentages in other SS states. See how inconsistent you lots could be because of emotions?

If Igbos have always voted correctly, then who at Independence ed the feudalisic NPC in voting for Tafawa Balewa instead of their own Zik whom they now eulogize as Zik of Africa? So The Tofa you Igbos voted for in 1993 was better than MKO? And the Shagari you voted for in 1979 was better than your own Azikiwe? The Yaradua you voted for in 2007 was better than Ojukwu who produced the best manifesto that year? Then Obasanjo was better than Olu Falae in 1999? You people should just look the way of comedy

Governorship election is not for kids. It requires some serious financial muscle. Even if you win the primary elections where do you expect the party to get money to campaign with. Don't forget that party always pays its agents. Let's say there is 1000 polling units in Edo state, we all know it's ten times that though. Imagine paying at least 10k per polling until to your agents? That's already 10 million naira. Labour party in Edo State needs serious people with some money to make any reasonable impact.

On my opinion, the sum of 25 million naira is even cheap.

The APC and PDP too rationalize their high cost of forms with exactly the same reasons you have given for LP's N30m cost of forms yet we call both PDP and APC anti-people/elitist party and then purport that LP has the people's interest at heart. But has LP by this really shown itself to be different from the PDP or APC or that it was just a special purpose vehicle for disgruntled PDP according to Doyin Okupe?

nabiz:
its you that is saying nonsense. You think one sided without evaluation. Yes the military redeem was bad, can you compare the military achievement with the democratic idiots we have in Nigeria

You seem to have forgotten that the present democracy we. have is still controlled by the military establishment and therefore not really a democracy. Since 1999, out of the five presidents we've had,three were directly or indirectly from the military.
The First Republic government which an overwhelming majority of Nigerians agree is the best we ever had was not a military government but ended up being Truncated by the military and thereafter Nigeria became a cesspit of corruption and misgovernance in the hands of the very military which claimed they removed the politicians because of corruption.

Military rule is an aberration. It is not by coincidence that none of the world powers in of economic prosperity and military might, has never been ruled by soldiers, since they started their democracies, eg USA,UK, , , Canada, China, Russia, etc.

I share your thoughts and I am accumulating it.

NzogbuNzogbu:
lol, you have now exposed your bigotry, even when u tried hiding under the competence toga

Unfortunately it is you that won't tolerate esan ruling and you are a minute minority

I myself am bini and we welcome them ruling, binis are no longer this primitive people you think they are

Shey you see how we ed obi, shey you see how our oba has refurbished the bini palace to reflect our modern thinking, we think outside the box of bigotry

Per the bolded, you are actually the bigoted one else you wouldn't have missed the fact that the monicker I responded to in that comment was the one who introduced the issue of Edo Binis anti-Esan voting sentiments by suggesting indirectly that the PDP had to play along with Oshiomhole choice of Obaseki because of fear that it would lose Binis votes if it had done the actually fair thing of giving Edo Central the ticket in 2016.

The Ambrose Alli who remains the best governor in the history of the existence of the people who now make up Edo State was an Esan man, and despite his sterling and unprecedented performance, it was the propaganda of 'he is anti-Bini' that was deployed to get him out of power, petitioned to the Federal military government, and jailed to death.

osothermal:
After Lucky Igbinedion it was Osunbor from Edo central . He missed it after the court overturned his victory in favour of Oshomole. So they had to wait patiently for this time , so it will be unfair to give them.

Their actually fair turn came after Oshiomhole but both parties zoned it back to Edo South but the Esan of both parties campaigned vigorously for the Edo South candidates thus approving the unfairness done to them by both parties.

Nwodosis:
Aburi Accord remains the permanent solution but it is good as we all chose to live on its denial.

Aburi Accord didn't contain any provision for elections. So how will elections and other democratic processes happen if we adopt Aburi Accord?

NzogbuNzogbu:
at those times you talking about it was a matter of political preference

When binis ruled through lucky, it was not too compulsory for esan to be next cos there was still time in the young democracy.

Oshomole came in, after him it started heating up Edo central was the zone not yet gov

Oshomole been gov was supposed to field an esan man rather than obaseki but his esan hatred didn't let him

Since incumbent party fielded bini there was no way pdp an opposition would do otherwise when it was game of strength first, esan people had to sacrifice for common sense


This time obaseki is doing the right thing as incumbent to bring the ball where it should be, opposition don't have choice again becos even the voice on the street is talking of equity and justice

Lastly let me add that this is not even a competence excuse cos if you look at all the candidate there is no box that esan candidates don't think

Is it youngest, new faces they have them, is it the most experienced in the istration of industries across the country (none towers asue credentials)

Is it professionals? Is it the biggest philanthropists in the race, professors, is it proven performancers in govt at local level

I am for a competent esan gov, let all parties field theirs then we the people would choose the best regardless of party

We are tired of shaibu cultist that own all petrol station in Benin, Ize Iyamu recycled crap, ogiewonyi, arhivbehe, clem Agba that just fat without sense, all these men should retire, they don't have ideas

If your theory in the bolded is anything to go by, then the PDP should have as well fielded an Edo South person this year again since the Bini 50% population advantage is still there to curry now for easy win. After all Binis hardly tolerate being governed by Esans.

osothermal:
He's the biggest betrayal and obaseki is being fair. EDO north did 8 years and Edo south took over. For fairness and inclusiveness it's the turn of Edo central. Besides Edo central has always been a stronghold of PDP

What I always don't understand is this narrative that seems to purport that there is rotational governorship in Edo State. If it were so, then how come Edo South produced Lucky Igbinedion in 1999, then Edo North followed through Oshiomhole in 2007, and then when it got to 2016 when it should go to Edo Central if there were really rotation, both PDP and APC both gave tickets to Edo South again in the persons of Ize Iyamu and Obaseki respectively and the Edo Central of both parties kept mute and campaigned vigorously for them?

Yoast:
Chams that didn't move an inch during the bull run na im carry first for this bloody day. Life no balance

husu:

I bought UBA @33 naira in 2007, zenith @40 Aiico @6naira, Dangsugar@50 naira, wema@15naira. If UBA didn't get 100naira, zenith 120 naira , Aiico 20naira, I won't sell, my friends that invested in lands and properties are worth more that 1000% of their initial value as at now. In 2007 transport from portharcourt to lagos is #2,500, now it's 40,000 naira.

Sweet dreams.

Teeonebaba:
My observation on this trend is that. when the market is bullish, the number of posts are usually very high but when market start to experience opposite, the posts will start to reduce gradually. The euphoria of bull make many to come out and post just like me.

9free:

Na the anticipated N16 final year EPS make me sell every other investments and concentrate on those two.
Hopefully the FY EPS no go be audio and dividend no go dey below N5 per share.

Yes, by extrapolation, that N16 Full year EPS is likely and these two will eventually climb very far in price but not in a smooth curve.

Streetinvestor2:
Na only mugu go fall again with any bank po.Any bank that announces Po with os of over 30billion.i will sell thr shares and wait.Fbn teach me lesson at po of #35

Well said. Experience, they say, is the best teacher.

Raskimonojendor:
He finally left that useless party. Pat Utomi to follow next. These were the guys Tinubu used in retaining power for APC.

Pat Utomi's was most painful. This is the time he would have gotten a ministerial appointment for the first time to enable Nigerians benefit from his wealth of knowledge but just at the verge of getting it he deserted the party which was very likely to win and give him a powerful portfolio.

megawealth01:


Remove JAPAUL, ftn, daar and CHAMS from your list ooooo. Although I was careful with JAPAUL so I have very little quantity because of jegede



I bought them at Kobo Kobo LEVELS

Currently, sentiments seem not to favour rallies in these stocks.

megawealth01:


BitterTruth... IB still has a long way unless miracle happen for us

Exactly. Whoever will make profit in IB may first have to do a name change to Patience and hold a ceremony to mark the rechristening.

naturalflow:
Come oh,this mecure abi mercury you no dey see your mates?you better start moving ooh.

What I have come to observe over the years about general market bullish moments like the current one is that stocks which had just rallied and delivered over 200% just before the general bull came don't usually respond to the bull.
That might explain why stocks like Mecure, Chams, Japaul, Dangote Sugar and Salt, FTN Cocoa, Deap, Daarcom, Omatek, RTBriscoe, and some others are not responding meaningfully to this bull.

9free:

Nne....Biko ask una dey cash out so, make una put in one or two words of prayer for those of is wey dey inside GTCO and Zenith.
We go like smile like una too.

What we are seeing this year is a bull starting with the second tier banks unlike the usual trend by which GTCO and Zenith move first and stop before the smaller banks follow. As far as the current bull is concerned, I think Zenith and GTCO will only begin to reprice themselves when this bull brings these other small banks relatively much closer to them in price.

KarlTom:
IB will move massively before end of Q1...

I don't yet see that in the horizon, but let's hope so.

BlueRayDick:
SM Afolabi never recovered from the disgrace that came with the fraud case. He was released on bail in December 2003 and died in May 2004.

Obasanjo was not into protecting corrupt allies like Jonathan and Buhari did

There is no greater corruption than hypocrisy which was actually Obasanjo's style of fighting corruption. Imagine a person who introduced bribes to the floor of the National Assembly in an attempt to get them bend the laws on tenure duration and also could not explain how $16bn was spent on power to generate greater darkness not being tolerant of corrupt allies. You must be a naturally very funny folk.

seborrhic:
Obasanjo had his imperfections,one of which I assume is believing he knew it all and others were beneath or did not key into his vision,but he has been the best president Nigeria has had since this Republic.
He laid the foundations of many of the institutions and framework of governance Nigeria is now using.
He also had a penchant for being intolerant of corruption,if it was brought to his notice.
Ditto YarAdua:He may have been weak with family,but the man had a determined vision and zero tolerance for not just corruption but shady affairs and abuse of office.I was even under the impression that if the man had lived long enough,he may not have tolerated the corrupt deeds carried out by his family,relations or cronies.This is the only Nigerian leader that openly declared his asset,without prompting and did a lot within the short time he led.He was the one that started the reform of the electoral system that has culminated in the progress we have today.
Comparing YarAdua and Buhari in of integrity is like comparing peanut butter and sour margarine.
I believe Tinubu may eventually sack Edu,but the challenge will be if he can keep up with the sackings because there is no doubt this goverment will rival Buhari's in of the looting that will take place.

How many of those sacked by Obasanjo ended up in jail? Can you remind us who introduced Ghana must go bags of Naira notes to bribe NASS for third term bid?

TimeManager:

Madam, are you OK at all?. Who in his/her right sense absolves OBJ of corruption. Who introduced corruption into our fourth republic?

-kiss the truth!

Don't mind that political correctness seeker. Imagine someone claiming that Obasanjo was against corruption just because he used EFCC as tool to cut pounds of flesh from his political enemies.

AbuAeesha:
those pple clamoring for youth to take over power should know that good leadership isn't about age.
it is the mindset!

. This is exactly the comment I wanted to make on seeing this topic on Front Page.
The fact that the youngest of all the ministers just appointed is the first to be nailed for sleaze should be enough evidence that this recent fixation with cumpulsory youthful takeover of power is baseless and that age bears no correlation with ability to govern well.

ojeysky:


But why has Ib not moved really. I hope you meant intbrew...

With the hyping which IB received here almost throughout last year, it is difficult to believe that it is not shaking body at all even in this indiscriminate bull.

Krisuba:



De stock tire meoooo . Upon say I sold ucap and Fidelity to buy it have not gotten even 5 percent. While those I sold is doing almost 100!!

One of the most painful experiences in this market. One gleefully exits a stock for another only to see that which one exited rallying while that which one went into stagnant or even dropping.
