While not holding brief for the president on his lopsided appointments, I still cannot see which law he has broken.

He was elected for an initial period of four years, and in that four years he has a right to bring whomever he feels comfortable working with. Now it shouldn't matter where the people he has chosen to work with comes from, what should matter to you and other Nigerians is if the appointees have the capacity to deliver on their specific mandates.

The so called saner climes you all love to compare yourselves with wouldn't care where a government appointee comes from, what matters to them is if there can deliver.

So stop this rhetoric of if another tribe becomes president he will also appoint his people. Because, no one will care who or where his appointees comes from so long as they meet their deliverables.

Those of you hyping this man should continue, if Nigeria is a country that practices zoning, before the southwest would have any tangible position it would be almost after 36 years, that is if there's no 2nd term.
Is Nigeria a Yoruba affairs but most of you are conscienceless

It doesn't matter if Jesus christ spoke English or not, what matters to most Christians is the fact that December 25th is a day set aside to mark his earthly birth, so any attempt by a woke society to systematically remove his name and replace with another adjective that does no relate to christ is wrong in it entirety

Xisnin:

CHRIST is an invented English word for someone
who never spoke English nor never called by that name.

So, what's your point?

Yuletide and Christmas are never the same for a Christian, our lord Jesus christ is the reason for Xmas celebration. So no any kind of semantics should make anyone to replace the CHRIST-mass (Christmas) with yuletide/holidays.

Edygrin:

Saying happy yuletide and merry Christmas is the same thing, just semantics.

So he's no longer a drug lord? He's now an asset of the CIA? Let me know which of them that you're more comfortable with

So if your PRESIDENT (i intentionally referred to him as that to pepper you and jolt you back to reality) had a drug case in Chikago as you have said why was he never arrested or detained? Why was the IRS and not the DEA involved in the case why was a plea bargain that allowed him to keep a percentage of the funds in his s struck ?

004gist:


Tinubu had a Chicago drug case and Abba Kyari also

This how you people just make needless comparisons, so what is special about Trump rewarding (appointing) Elon musk who actively ed him during the elections? Had kamala won the election don't you think Bill Gate would have also been given some level of influence? Or you think Trump will pick or work with any of the billionaires that ed Kamala?

Politics is the same worldwide irrespective of country or continent, elected leaders always pander towards those who ed them during elections, but here in Nigeria, we always make ourselves look more inferior by degrading ourselves for doing something that 'saner clime' countries will do and we would still applaud them.

Am surprised that no one is saying anything about the unholy alliance between two chronic capitalist and misogynists teaming up to control the country that owns the Fiat currency of the world (the US Dollars)

tuoyoojo:
Musk and the other guy don show working

They have succeeded in their private business and now they are bringing that efficiency inside government

GPU is only 6 core and that is an improvement on the previous 4 core but a long way off Samsung 8 and 16 core that have been around for years making multitasking a breeze and gaming top notch. Apple still have not worked out that battery efficiency can be gained by spreading the load over multiple cores either. The manufacturing is more complex it is true but the gains are worth the cost.

this is why ive never fancied anything Apple

How about the the Ogun and Ayelala deities? because I know for a fact that both the Yorubas and Binis worship these deities which we can all agree have the same historical origin

valirex:

Apart from Ekaladeran (Oduduwa) there is no other link between Benin and Yoruba

I do not understand your assertion, because your assertion is not related to the topic.

You were gloating over the fact that the major parties all have governors in the south east so that means that they are not tribalist as if those governors are not Igbos.

My point is this, in the last general elections, of all the the ethnic groups that had candidate vying for the president, only the igbos gave their block votes to Obi, to the point that even the ones not domiciled in the southeast were still carrying obi matter for head as if their lives depended on it.

Even the north that we all thought will go one way, proved to us that they are truly Democrats by splitting their votes, southwest also did the same, even south south showed that they are no longer naive, only the Igbos and the south east went one way by voting for a fellow Igbo man.

So I ask you again who's the tribalist? Is it the Yorubas who voted for both Obi and Atiku (lagos and Osun) or the Igbos who gave over 98% of their votes to their tribes man.

Isobug:

Shifting the goal post to suit him.
You can not tell me you don't understand my assertion. That would be cunning of you

What has having different governors from different parties got to do with this discussion? Unless of course you want to tell me that the governors are not Igbos, if not your point is baseless

Isobug:

More tribalistic yet the South East states have Governor's from all the 3 major political parties plus another from APGA. Compare it to your own South West and tell me who should be termed Tribalistic, oya

I'm disappointed you could only name one, however, for the sake of this argument I will accept the lonely Zack Orji in the Tinubu's camp.

My question now is was this same zack Orji not demonised for his of Tinubu? You people even called him a cheap and broke man who was ing Tinubu because of money.

So if the igbos did this to Zack why didn't you call them tribalist? But now that the Yorubas are calling out their own àkòtìleta( betrayals) you suddenly grow some balls and are calling them tribalist? Na wa for you o

a4cube:
Zack Orji

But Tinubu's drug case and Shittima's double nomination case are post election matters abi? Continue

Ogene001:

Pre election matter. Update yourself on electoral laws

If you can list a good number of Igbo celebrities that are ing Tinubu or Atiku the same way some of the Yorubas celebrities the guy mentioned ed Obi then you would be right.

But in a situation where all igbos both online and offline are ing obi and not PDP or APC I think its clear for everyone to see who is more tribalistic

G00DHardDick:
When we say Yoruba is the most tribalist tribe we have in Nigeria, some people will think we're joking

It's not everything that is meant to be a dick measuring competition, the op never mentioned that Yoruba boys were taking over Igbo girls, he merely stated that it was a trend but you had to see it as a competition.

By the way, there's nothing to be proud about sleeping with a married woman, Yoruba or not.

kettykin:
By the time we spill out our tales with yoruba ladies, internet will not contain the wailings of yorubas who will accuse igbos of not just taking over yoruba land but using their women unjustly ,mostly married and still cheating on their husbands. A stitch in time will save many hearts .

I respect Igbos who respect the women of their host by not opening such topics.

Who told you it was the network provider that leaked the audio? Is it not clear to you that it was leaked by one of the two parties involved with the call?

Do you just argue for the sake of it, or to exchange ideas? As for your question, Yes the Igbos once they notice they are the majority in an area, takes advantage of this and look for one person probably the richest among them and crown him their Eze.

This is done without the imput of the real king ( who is the real custodian of the people's culture) of the land, take for instance in Lagos, before the Hausa's install a sarkin Hausawa, they will meet with the king of the land and seek his permission and blessings, and this new sarkin Hausawa will automatically become a vasal of the real oba for the hausa community. But in the case of the Igbos they will just wake up and crown themselves king.

History555:


So the ezes in lagos coronate themselves. Aren't lgbos wonderful

I guess the turbaning ceremony part was lost on you. Kano is an Emirates hence the term turbaning and not crowning, and just so you know the Oba of Yorubas will be turbaned by the emir of the Emirates meaning that he will be loyal to the Emirates while representing the Yorubas.

Now can you compare this to the ones the igbos do in other people's land?

I usually do not attack personalities, but for you I will make an exemption. Are you really this dumb or you're just pretending to be?

How can you ask that Buhari who was duly constitutionally elected president to serve a constitutional 4 years term to remain in office beyond the 4 years just because an election Is being disputed? Is it too much for your coconut brain to fathom that same way Obi reclaimed his mandate as governor of Anambara State from the person that was already sworn in, he can also reclaim his mandate from Tinubu even after swearing in? Why are you and your ilks making a fool of yourself just because of hatred for Tinubu?

Fattesticles:
Why are APC afraid of interim government.

Is buhari not the best thing that happened to Nigeria after catfish pepper soup?

The same Buhari should remain there till court case is done na, why are you crying?

Stop being clever by half, there's no political undertone to this, or are you telling us that GRV would have made the services free of charge? Even in advanced countries, transportation fares are paid in full, so why are you try to make a mountain out of a mole hill?

Kabirudeen25:
I just want to know please, is the hike applicable to all lagosians, or is it for only Igbo people in Lagos?

My thoughts exactly, because I'm not sure Tinubu will take this as an error of oversight, to me this is a calculated move to show the Buhari and the cabals that his loyalty will be with them if and when he gets the SP seat.

demmie1:


Going to meet buhari just cemented his position as anti tinubu man if he's the senate P

I'm disappointed in OUK to be honest, I'm not for or against is SP ambition, but an experience politician like him should have known that the president elect is the right person to meet for matters concerning the 10th assembly and not the incumbent.

Now the president elect might feel slighted and work against him.

This has got to be the most laughable act of the century, a plate of rice and okpa for vote buying? I've seen a lot but this one takes the lead.

I hope this will silent those who thinks that there people are all millionaires and are too big to be induced, because even an almajiri no go gree collect plate of rice a day okpa with 2k as payment of his vote.

I don't know why these folks will not show some respect to the Jagaban of Africa. The only man in history to have successfully removed a sitting president, installed a president and then became a president. All hail the Asiwaju of Nigeria politics, the Oga ndi oga, the godfather of godfathers

highchief1:
contesting does not depict preparation bro.so u also think because atiku has been contesting atiku is prepared.Someone that prepares does not misfire.Do u also think Sowore is prepared to be president.Obidients how una take even Dey?Why will u contest Tinubus preparedness?Who in Nigeria can open his mouth to boast of emilokan?if u can’t respect tinubu then I’m sorry

I thought you were sane!!

Ikea81:


Guy na fight, abeg wear boxer meet me for ajah roundabout or go to court.

So voting for Obasanjo who was the Northern choice against an Olu Falae who was a Yoruba choice means they were in alliance with each other? Please don't even get me started on this your expensive joke of Igbos wanting Osinbanjo more the the Yorubas

Ikea81:


Oga they voted obansanjo, they also wanted Osinbanjo more than the west wanted him.

On what conviction am I supposed to speak before?
I've made my point and given you reasons why I believe what I said was right, so you either agree, or you give a different opinion.

Upton:


Personal conviction?

Relax! I never said giving block vote is bad, I merely reacted to your assertion that Yorubas are tribal bigots. I'm glad you didn't dispute the fact that only the Yorubas practice actual democracy where each individual is allowed to make their political choice without fear or threat.

I challenge you to name one instance where the Igbos have voted on the basis of personal conviction like the Yorubas have always voted, in 2015 even with Osibanjo on the ticket of the APC, the PDP still got considerable votes from the south west, same goes for the 2019 elections. Even the just concluded elections, obi won Tinubu in Lagos Atiku won Tinubu in Osun state, but we all saw the margins with which Obi won in the south east.

So my question to you is how could you term the Yorubas bigots when they are indeed the only region that has been politically libral.

Upton:


You talk about:
vote pattern: We all know the northerners give bloc votes: Inshort your Emi Lokan chose a northern Muslim because the northerners will not vote for a ticket that doesn’t contain a northern-Muslim. PDP gave their presidential ticket to a northerner in order to secure this bloc votes from the north. You don’t have problem with that. Even Tinubu called picking a Muslim running mate political calculation when in fact he was battling Atiku for the North’s bloc vote. But it becomes a problem for you when the Easterners do the same thing and give block votes to a candidate. Don’t you see that you are the hypocrite?

Don’t make it a matter of Peter Obi - Easterners have been voting in bloc since 1999. It didn’t start with Obi. They gave bloc votes to a Fulani man in 2019, bloc votes to an Ijaw man in 2011 and 2015, bloc votes to a Fulani man in 2007. Why is it now a problem in 2023? Oh it is a problem because they are Igbos and not northern muslims.

You were making sense until you got to this part. Please tell us when and how the Igbos and Yorubas have ever aligned politically.




[quote author=Ikea81 post=121981651]

It's like the ibos finally realising they need to leave yoruba and align with the North. Expect that in 2027. Imagine a PO and kwankwaso pally. The ibos learnt.

If Yorubas are tribal bigot, what are the igbos? You're such a hypocrite, if not how can you call the Yorubas bigot when indeed their votes pattern reflects that they voted on the basis of individual choices rather than as a ethnic group like the igbos voted.

Check the percentage of the votes Obi got from the south east and from the Igbos who reside out of the south east and see if indeed they voted based on merit or rather based on tribal sentiments, what happened in lagos was disgraceful no doubt, but a times such drastic methods needs to be taken to make a point, if not how can the Igbos expect the majority of Yorubas to vote out a performing governor like Sanwo olu for one I T architect who has never managed or hold any senior position in his life. This was inspite of majority of the lagosian Yorubas voting for obi at the presidential level o.

Until Christ returns, I would never understand why the Igbos would prefer An inexperienced GRV to a more experienced Sanwo olu who clearly performed and exceeded all expectations.

Upton:
Lol. Nobody is calling Yorubas betrayals. The topic is a click bait. How can people call them betrayals when there was never an alignment. The only thing the Yorubas showed us this election is that the average Yoruba person is a tribal bigot. They just like to mask it.
