*GEJ and Atiku
You can do your research
Without Igbo votes, OBJ would have lost to Falae
Yar'Adua would have lost to Buhari
GEJ would have lost to Buhari in 2011
There was a reason GEJ buried Ojukwu with full military honors
There was a reason why he attended Achebe's burial

I am talking about the absurdly high percentage of votes.

Sadly I can't see the breakdown for the ones before 2015 by state, maybe I will check the INEC portal later.

I am surprised that two Ndigbo states gave Goodluck Jonathan pretty high votes, over 85%, one state gave Atiku over 85%. I believe Buhari was disliked for his "baboons and dogs soaked in blood comment" but I wouldn't use that as an excuse.

However, Peter Obi's percentage votes is a serious outlier, a very serious one and we all know why. I do have to apologise to and congratulate the people of Ebonyi state who I thought gave Peter Obi over 85%, he only got 75% there, still high for other parts of Nigeria but in the context of other states in ala igbo, quite low .

Still, Obidients no get mout to tok say Ndi Yoruba or oda pipo bi tribalist or bigot, especially if dem bi Ndigbo, not so soon after the last elections at least.

MrEverest:


The fact that many of your people are supporting Tinubu with all his criminal tendencies and failures in governance proves you're bigots.
Igbos are not bigots. They always condemn their politicians like Orji Kalu, Rochas, Uzodinma Ugwuanyi etc. and if these people should contest for presidency and Yorubas present someone like Adeshina, Igbos will vote Adeshina. They're not bigots like your people!

You bring a condemned criminal like Tinubu and you expect them to leave a good man like Obi and vote for him

Take Obi and Tinubu to any sane environment and ask people to choose and see if over 95% won't choose Obi.

Foolish people everywhere.

First off, I am not supporting President Tinubu, never voted for him so your rant in the first paragraph relating to that is moot.

Which court of law anywhere in the world condemned President Tinubu as a criminal?

We still have threads here showing people that were abusing Peter Obi mercilessly after his stint as Anambra state gorvernor suddenly making him out to be some kind of messiah because he was the only Ndigbo on the ballot box.

Peter Obi and President Tinubu were presented to people all over Nigeria, a place with over 100 tribes, the only ones that gave the latter overwhelming votes were his kinsmen. Isn't that suspicious?

Like I said, going by the last elections results in ala igbo, this is not the time for tone deaf Obidients to call Ndi Yoruba bigots at all.

nonhuman:
when did Benin become a state, if your language is Benin thn you are Benin

The point remains, people flock to a larger cornubation where their language is spoken and claim the place.

The operative term is where their language is spoken.

That should not be a problem for Obidients, sorry I mean anyone, especially if the people complaining don't speak the language natively.

tishbite42:

The same outlandish votes they gave to OBJ, Yar'Adua, GEJ and Jonathan
So, they shouldn't give their son votes but they can votes others whose tribes don't vote for Igbos
Can you see your warped logic?

You have made a good point that I am going to find time to check or maybe you yourself can.

What percentage of votes did the ones you mentioned get, I know Obi scored 85% and over, I don't think any of the ones you mentioned got figures that outlandish my high.

This last elections, other tribes gave their votes, and some even their states, to Peter Obi so I am not sure what point you are making with your last paragraph.

[quote author=Ibrahimcoomasie post=130844696][/quote]

Why does Peter Obi say things that he knows Reno can easily bat away? Doesn't he have advisers to fact check him before he starts to yarn knowing Reno is waiting to do so?

Obidients, here is some more "easy" cash on the table for you to collect. Don't insult and abuse Reno, just fact check the table shaker and go and collect your cash, chikena!

Enyimbafc:
Show me any achievements Yorubas or any tribe in Nigeria become the first black to achieve.Not useless awards many africans have won.

I am sure you haven't heard of it but I'll urge you to Google it, I believe it's called Nobel Literature prize or something like that. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember the Ndi Yoruba that won it, I know he is hated by Obidients because he correctly identified them as Gbajuẹ people.

Anyway Google it.

However, the point is all this chest beating is childish and needless. Prof Chinua Achebe was best WAEC student in 19 gbogboro, what is the relevance of that in this day and age?

Saao:
no, they are the most tribalistic people on earth

Not going by the last election results breakdown they are not.

Peter Obi won a state in their region as did Atiku. Remind me again which region handed outlandish percentages of votes to their son.

Those are the ones that are clearly the most tribalistic on earth, not Ndi Yoruba.

Ghanaian, Senegalese or Ivory Coast presidents and that's off the top of my head.

The Yorubas want an independent state but is against Biafra. Is it not hypocracy?

Ndi Yoruba that I know are not against Biafra, why not ask your Senators to propose a Biafran secession bill?You might be surprised as to the tribe of the people that will help push it through.

Slytiger:

😂😂😂

You will never hear of Hausa day in Lagos or Anambra. Or Yoruba day in Abuja or Kafanchan. Why can't they hold their festival in their homeland. They must be scared of IPOB.

They are the one that wants Biafria but are also the ones spread all over and enjoying Nigeria.

Last time they tried ohaenaze Ibo day in Port Harcourt, they were chased away. 😂😂😂

There's nothing wrong with it nau.

It is a beautiful situation, people had a good time and I believe there was no violence.

Not everything gbas gbos abeg.

If dem try Obidients hangout anywhere, na me one go scatter di place.

venabili:
Chei. I am now more motivated to japa. With people this gullible, there is really slim hope

If you japa and still go to a Nigerian church, the nonsense their Pastors over there do is worse than here, much worse.

The horesrlt part of hell awaits the.

Tochj:

If what Eze Ndigbo said is a crime
Someone else in the same state and same time did far worse
You didn't mention the latter
You only berated the other and you are here asking me if I know your opinion??
Hypocrite

Sir, the poster I was responding to mentioned Eze Ndigbo, former of Ajao estate now transferred to Kirikiri branch, why would I add Oluomo to the discourse.

Given the context of the conversation, this has nothing to do with him.

It's like we are dicusiing flying antelopes winning the league and I suddenly switch to Great Olympics of Accra being relegated. That would be strange.

Nigerian Woman arrested for allegedly assaulting her husband’s side-chick in the UK


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bdtVblGF7I

A yet-to-be identified married Nigerian woman has been arrested for assaulting her compatriot over her husband.

According to a viral clip, the suspect had gone to the house of the victim to fight her for allegedly sleeping with her husband. The victim’s friends were present as eyewitnesses. In the clip, the suspect can be seen dragging the shirt of the side-chick while accusing her of snatching her husband.

The victim dials 911 and the metropolitan police officer showed up at the scene. The side-chick laid on the ground to show the policeman that she was deeply distressed by the assault while the suspect was handcuffed and whisked away.

#wetindeyhappentv

God catch name checkers, dem no go see any name fit yab anybodi on di mata.

I tìre for dis Raz Obidient women jare

Tochj:

But Oluomo is not an idiot for not only threatening voters in a democratic society but actually carrying out his threat
Killing and maiming innocent people
But it's a Man that said something without any harm to anyone is your problem.
Continue to support evill
But don't forget that karma is real

This is part of the problem, we are talking about Eze Ndigbo, you are talking about Oluomo. Do you know my opinion on Oluomo at all?

Now you are berating me despite not knowing my opinion on Oluomo.

Obidients sha!

Dapromzy333:
President Bola Tinubu has been re-elected as the chairman of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS.

He was re-elected at the 65th Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of States and Government at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Nigeria.

President Tinubu, who accepted his re-election, appointed the President of Senegal to join in the mediation with Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad.

In his acceptance speech, the President said, “I have accepted to continue to deliver on this service with the great men and women on this democratic journey, to serve our interest and build democratic values on the structure we inherited.”

More to come..

Baba nìyẹn, another town hall... ... different from the rest. Bikonu, tẹ sì wọn l'ójú jàre

Same again for Nigerian Presidential elections in 2027.

I won't vote for him, but hopefully enough people do so in order that Obidients pump up the anguish volumes again.

gidgiddy:


It shows how much your government has failed that someone in Finland can stop people going to School in Nigeria on Mondays

Actually it shows how the once great and powerful Ndigbo societal structure has failed that Simon Ekpa can be sat at home in Finland weilding such destructive power in ala Igbo.

Compare his unbridled power to Sunday Igboho and the slowpoke Yoruba separatists that occupied Mapo Hall a month ago and how Ndi Yoruba effectively neutralised them.

Ndigbo must do better, children must be allowed to go to school on Monday at the very least, same thing that Simon Ekpa's children in Finland are doing.

gidgiddy:
What's with all these Ikwerre threads lately?

Nd'Ikwerre noticed that Ndigbo are seriously focused on trying to grab ala Lagos like they did ala Ikwerre and are looking to wriggle out of the Ndigbo choke hold they are currently in while Ndigbo are distracted .

I jus dey play ó bifor una bring una Obidient wàhálà come again.

gidgiddy:
Someone should tell him that Simon Ekpa has lived in Finland close to 20 years, married a Finnish woman, [b]has Finnish children [/b]and has long obtained Finnish citizenship

Per the bolded, I hope none of his children are going to school on Mondays as he has mandated his goons to assault children in Ala Igbo that they catch heading to school.

Tochi3:


..watch how PO, will be attacked..

Must you Obidients drop his name into every conversation, allowed him rest bikonu.

All the energy he put into being 3rd, he needs to recover.

OredoPikin:

Is Lagos a yoruba state?

I look at the names of governors, state house members, commissioners. I look at the names of areas, I pay attention to the language spoken in markets and on public transport.

I listen to languages spoken in all the Palaces all over the state.

I also hear the language children born in Lagos from various ancestry speak as fluently as they speak English (which is the one used to teach in schools).

The answer to your question is plain to see.

Realtruth2023:


I am telling you the fact. Time has come when all these Yoruba bigots would taste the four corners of prison so that una go get sense. I remember how they dealt with one of you who called for igbos to be killed on twitter. It shocked him that police traced him to Osogbo. Until they use one person in nairaland as an example una eyes go clear.

Seeing as I have never been banned once by the mods, not even warned, I doubt I am anywhere near at risk of being picked up by any authorities.

I have asked multiple Obidients who accuse me of being anti Ndigbo to show me a post in which I have disclosed any Anti Igbo bigotry, maybe they will tommorow to quote a Yoruba saying.

For the avoidance of doubt, I hope all Ndi Yoruba and Ndigbo bigots here are picked up, the sooner the better. I know which side of the divide would suffer more though.

Don't go bro. Nairaland needs wise men like you.

Firstly, even if Britain becomes an Islamic state they'll never truncate the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel is a super power.


The issue of Palestine getting her own state is more complex than you seem it is and you sound delusional about it. Palestinian leadership has consistently rejected offers of statehood, including the 2000 camp David summit and 2008 Olmert proposal. All they want is a country from the river (West Bank of river Jordan) to the Mediterranean Sea which is not possible till Jesus comes.

False equivalence, South Africa apartheid can only happen in a country with 2 different race. Israel is a democratic state where everyone share equal right including the Arabs and Druze. Palestinians are not Israelis so Israel government don't owe them anything. .

Almost every tribe on earth is guilty of colonialism including the Nigeria tribe of Yoruba; the Oyo Empire conquering even the Beninese but how long do we dwell in blame game blaming the West for the atrocities of their ancestor?. What we should focus on is the evil of the ideology called ISLAMISM. Wanting to send the world back to the Medieval era, conquering the entire world for Allah.

PS: AFTER CONQUERING AND DESTROYING NORTH AFRICA CULTURE THEY STILL WANT TO DESTROY EVERY OTHER HUMAN CULTURE ON EARTH FOR ALLAH

Your problem is with Islam and like a lot of ill informed people, you are fighting a proxy war on behalf of the contrived Jewish state.

Thankfully like I said, the tide is changing, Israel, like apartheid South Africa, now has to sit at the table to discuss the way forward without the unalloyed support of its former allies who can no longer, in true conscience, accept the wanton destruction and killings they are seeing Israel carry out.

By the way, apartheid in South Africa recognised at least 4 distinct races, White, Indian, Coloured and Black.

Realtruth2023:


Stop deceiving yourself bro. You guy are specialists in gaslighting people but the thing is you met your match in obidients that is why you are saying this, but be rest assured your people will soon be picked up and dealt with.

You, an Obidient accusing others of gaslighting. Ehn hen, wetin Musa no go see it hear for gate!

You can threaten me all you want, that's your problem.

nonhuman:
the question is why are they ashamed of their state if origin whenever you ask they will claim to come from Lagos

Who said they are ashamed?

A lot of Benin speaking people are from places all around Benin, if you ask them where they are from, especially as a foreigner, they will say Benin, only if you ask about their ancestry will they say what village their ancestors migrated from.

I am sure this is also true in ala igbo

smokinloud:

Oh, you mean Palestinians deserve a state ruled by Islamists?. And you think there would not be continuous war if Islamists rules in the middle East, even without Israel?. What's disheartening is an advocate coming from the UK. ISLAMISM IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE CIVILISATION THAT THE WEST CHAMPIONED AND SAME UK ADVOCATING FOR A STATE FOR ISLAMIST IS A BETRAYAL. THOUGH A PALESTINE GOVERNED BY ISLAMST IS NOT POSSIBLE


There's no way Islamists will rule Palestine and they'll not attack other countries. They attack and killed the King of Jordan. They cause havoc in Lebanon. Islamists can't rule a country without fighting war. The only only solution is a confederation of Palestine where Palestinians are governed by themselves without any military power which is what Israel is working towards

As the tide eventually turned against apartheid South Africa, so it is turning against Israel with killings of innocent Palestinians and not before time.

Palestine will get their state, they will have a military to defend themselves and the world will be a better place for Israel not killing unarmed civilians including children.

Whilst extreme Islamic behaviour is horrible, you might also want to check atrocities of your so called West and it's civilisation especially all over Africa.

Thormentor:

There are more Yorubas in the north than Igbos

Infact the amount of Yorubas in SE alone is nearly same as those of SE people in SW


i have traveled wide Nigeria i can tell you that for free

The bolded part is untrue and you know it.

There are more Ndigbo in Lagos, and nothing wrong with that, than there are Ndi Yoruba in all of ala igbo.

There are some villages in ala Yoruba that you will see second generation Ndigbo whose parents are farmers and be shocked.

MrEverest:
They have taken their bigotry to UK.
These same bigots that saw nothing wrong in establishing a tribal party in another man's land, a foreign country, were same people that condemned Gbadebo, just because he has dual tribe parentage. They used all manner of primitive ethnic slurs against him. Yet they went to another foreign country to form an exclusive ethnocentric party.

They shamelessly do to others, what they will never accept if done to them. They will perpetuate evil and still accuse others of that which they're most guilty of.

The most hypocritical set of people ever to exist in this world.

Spit!

Why did they vote Adeleke who has the same dual parentage?

Why did someone who contested as Chinedu in an area that has a chunky proportion of Ndigbo in Lagos suddenly contested as Gbadebo as in Gubernatorial elections?

By the way, the Yoruba party stunt is a nonsense.
Go and look at Chinedu Gbadebo's social media posts and see why ala Lagos voters turned their backs against his needless divisive campaign.

HilcomTech:


Question you should be asking yourself are:

2) So many Hausas, Igalas, Ibibio, Ijaw, Tiv etc all live peacefully in Lagos but why always Igbos fermenting trouble.

This part of your post reminds me of the crass insensitivity of some people, who live in Lagos, after Peter Obi defeated President Tinubu in Lagos state.

They went to Alausa to climb the lamp poles in front of the secretariat and started singing the national anthem in a needlessly provocative manner.

Eventually President Tinubu won the overall elections to make them and their goading stunt look stupid but you wonder why some people, an admittedly noisy minority such as we see on Nairaland, simply cannot control themselves.
