Whenever I remember how some naive ones mocked Yorubas during GEJ's tenure when Yoruba elders met with GEJ to complain about marginalization of Yorubas, I laugh.. the mof0s back then said we should go and ask Tinubu for appointments and shut the fvck up. As God will have it or should I say as God would rise in defence of Yorubas, the same Tinubu is now President and heeding our voices.
The mof0s are the ones crying today.

I keep telling people that Yorubas can not be isolated in Nigerian politics except they are successfully divided.

Jonathan isolated the Yorubas after helping him to win in 2011 but he saw the consequence in 2015.

Buhari was using Ibos as VP ever since he has been contesting but luckily when he used Yoruba as VP in his 3rd and finally 4th attempt he made it.

Consider this: the combined representation of the South-South and South-East regions is 23%, whereas the South-West comprises 22% on its own. This raises important questions about the principle of federal character in the current governance. We need to strive for a truly united Nigeria that reflects the diversity of all its regions. We must get it right if Nigeria will work again.

Election also played important role. Tinubu didn't secure significant vote in South East states.

Now that is it clear to us that northerners get more federal government appointments than Southerners or South West in particular under Tinubu, the idea of juicy post still persist.

Let's make it clear that there's no federal government political appointments without juice. The only difference is that some have easy access and closer to the president than others. And the reason why the heads of state and the presidents have been appointing trusted and close allies to key post after 1966 was the history of coup de tat.

After 1966 coup, politicians learnt that familiar people must be appointed into key positions.

Aguiyi Irosi was Igbo, Tafawa Balewa was Hausa/Fulanis. The January 1966 coup succeeded because the Commander in Chief and the military head belongs to different ethnic groups. Even if Aguiyi Ironsi was not part of the coup, he could have perceived it and defended the Prime minister at all cost. But it appeared he chose to be complacent and allowed it to take place.

Ever since, Nigeria heads of state and presidents have been appointing close allies to key positions. Tinubu appointments is no different. It is as a result of bitter lessons of January 15 1966 coup.

Since childhood, I have observed that mothers do prevent their children from going to the toilet after eating even though they are pressed.

Ignorantly, some mothers believe that their children will passed away the food their children just ate, in other to prevent waste of food, they stopped the innocent children from defecating after eating. Even some educated mothers are caught doing same.

Hemanwel:
This is not a north versus south issue. The lopsidedness we are saying is that majority of Tinubu's appointments have gone to his zYoruba kinsmen. The question is: out of the 40 positions, let's know how many are held by the zYorubas. From the so-called data provided, they said 24 positions have gone to the north. Out of the 24 claimed to be given to the north, Fagbemi is there, Ojulari is there, and many others.


Is Lateef Fagbemi a northern name?

Is Ojulari a northern name too?

If Tinubu's first term is like this, it will be better for all of us to imagine what his second term will be than experience it oh! My advice is especially to our northern brothers.

Is Kwara and Kogi states in the North or South?

TinubuCriminal:
Hahahaha

All the juicy positions to the south west
EFCC, IGP, CBN, Defence, COAS, GMDs, DGs, Comptroller & juicy ministries

While south east have ministers of states for dead portfolios, MDs and SSAPs (whatever the hell that is)



Tinubu is a bloody criminal
Take it to the fucking bank!

That a post is not popular doesn't mean it is not juicy

'Juicy' is an expression selfishness

By now, Yoruba land would have been rid of killer herdsmen if not for Sunday Igboho ignorance and lack of focus.

When Sunday Igboho met Biafra agitators he lost focus, abandoned herdsmen obliteration and started calling for Yoruba nation an act that gave the government legal backing to give him deadly chase.

Majority of Yoruba youths volunteerd and gave full support to Igboho movement of eradicating the useless terrorists called herdsmen but once Igboho added treasonable motive, his idea became something else.

Now herdsmen are almost everywhere kidnapping and killing people on daily basis.

Cool

Where are those traders in the list?

Na enough Atlantic dey take dem decades to build...them no fit build becos na stolen funds dem get.

Egypt Administrative capital was built with loan with no economic value. It is built to protect the government from mass protest. Eko Atlantic is private investment driven and more sophisticated than Egypt administrative capital.

People have been asking whether Nigeria can build such administrative capital like Egypt but they forgot that Abuja was a city built from the scratch. There are picture evidence that Abuja was a forest calved out from Kogi and other States.

Egypt Administrative capital was not built for economic returns. It was built to shield the military government in a civilian cloth from revolution and mass protest reason it was hurriedly packaged. There were revolutions and canter revolution in Egypt as result of mass protest and culminated in the death of thousands of people between 2010 and 2015, reason why there is need to shield the present government from the masses.

The new administrative capital was financed with loan compare with Eko Atlantic that is private investment driven.

Which is more amazing between a city that is built on the desert and the one that rose from Atlantic Ocean?

So, Nigeria has done what Egypt did decades ago and still doing it now.

helinues:


Abuja is not that financial stretched like the new city in a desert. The resources to transport the equipments to the desert is not a small task

Meanwhile, Abuja is one of the few cities built from scratch and be successful. Only very few countries have been able to do that

Abuja too was like a forest

And Eko is more sophisticated than

He is probably imposing tarrifs and downsizing workers to save cost in preparation for a major military offensive

I can now believe in the population of Kano state, possibly the biggest in Nigeria.


I expected Oyo to hit 10 million or more but illiteracy is still a factor there.

In something like this, northerners mobilize their people but down south here we are still angry with government

The nin registration nearly reflects Nigeria population distribution

Adebisi444:
Let me enlight you small. Most of the weapons houthis in Yemen are using to cause trouble at red sea are coming from Iran. Iran is involved in war but through proxy. That one dey aside.. naw the issue is the issue of nuclear weapons. USA don't want Iran to make nuclear weapons because she knows say na terrorists full there and it's a threat to their allies (Israel). There's no doubt that if Iran makes nuclear weapons today.. Israel would definitely be in trouble. Do you understand naw.

Israel itself is a proxy of US

There were nothing like Hamas, hisbulah before until Israel was created in 1948 and started mass killing of Palestinians, Lebanese and others

Difrent:


Even Somali pirates took out more than 3 black hawk helicopters.

Houtis don almost deplete their reaper drone stockpile

Though I've come to realize the US war machine wasn't designed to win war but to perpetuate it so that the wheels of the military industrial complex will keep turning...... What will the defence industries produce if there are no wars .
So with over 700bases scattered around the world , they ensure the sustainance of the defence industries

True

OriOko88:

E con be like say, the bigger the country,the bigger the natural resources. Most of those countries are in the top 5 biggest in d world by land mass.

I tot we are made to believe Africa has the most natural resources in the world. I really doubt this stat. Apart from oil,wat other resources does Iran have. Abeg na fake stat

Why do you sanctions are not working on Russia and Iran?

It is a known fact that Israel is a US military base not a country

Leader: Corrupt Israeli regime ‘only proxy force’ in region, must be uprooted

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the only proxy force in the region is the Zionist regime, which invades other countries on behalf of the world’s colonial powers and "must be uprooted."

Ayatollah Khamenei made the comments during a speech at the Grand Mosalla Mosque of Tehran on Monday after leading Eid al-Fitr’s prayers. The Islamic festivities known as Eid al-Fitr mark the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

“The Westerners accuse the zealous youths of the regional nations of being proxies. I would like to say that there is only one proxy force in this region which is the corrupt usurping [Israeli] regime,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

The Leader added that Israel is committing genocide and if given the opportunity, it will invade other countries’ territories, just as it invaded Syria as the proxy force of the colonizers.

“This criminal gang must be uprooted from Palestine and it will be uprooted. Everyone must strive to eliminate this evil entity from the region,” he asserted.

The Leader lamented that the “bloody” incidents in Gaza, Lebanon, and Palestine made the people’s lives bitter during the holy month of Ramadan.

He went on to say that the assassination of officials is a common practice of the Israeli regime, which is backed by the US and Western governments.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the vicious Zionist regime is blatantly committing genocide, killing children, beating massive people, and assassinating figures.

However, the Leader added, arrogant Western powers are turning a blind eye to all such crimes and even smiling and supporting them.

The Leader noted that it is a religious, moral and humanitarian duty to strive to eradicate the Israeli regime.

'Crushing blow'

The Leader pointed to US threats against Iran, warning that any wicked act would certainly receive a "crushing and decisive blow."

“If the enemies are thinking of stirring any sedition inside the country, the Iranian nation will respond to them,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.

Pointing to the assassination of resistance figures in various countries and the Iraqi scientists by the Israeli regime, Ayatollah Khamenei said, “The US and a number of Western countries defend such clear terrorist acts and the entire world only witnesses them.”

The Leader also denounced the total disregard of the self-proclaimed defenders of human rights for the Israeli massacre of some 20,000 Palestinian children since the beginning of the genocidal war in October 2023.

The people of Europe and the United States are holding protest rallies against the Israeli regime and US crimes and would stage more demonstrations if they were fully informed about the US-Israeli criminal acts, Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Wow

WHY THESE TWO AND OTHERS AREN'T ON FORBES BILLIONAIRE LIST.

OK, let me help some people who don't understand how the billionaire list is compiled.

People like Tony Elumelu, Adeleke etc that you didn't see their names on the forbes billionaire list in dollars even if their companies are worth billions of dollars like Adeleke whose company is worth 2.5bn dollars is because he is just the MAJORITY SHARE HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE 2.5BN BILLION BELONG TO HIM . Other investors are among the owners, so his share is not up to a billion in that 2.5bn. But they will mention him as the owner because he has the largest share even if it isn't up to a billion dollars. Same with Tony, whose shares in Transcorp and UBA aren't up to a billion dollars, even if he is the largest share holder.

SO THE COMPANIES WORTH IS NOT THEIR PERSONAL WORTH . IT IS CALLED PLC ( PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANIES) OWN BY MANY.

IRAN not tired of a bloodied nose yet i guess.

Nothing like bloodied nose

The wisdom behind the delay I think is that US F35 successfully broke Iran sir defense.

https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/03/28/745198/Iran-fresh-attacks-Israel-Operation-True-Promise-warning-United-States


A senior military advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei reaffirms that Iran remains steadfast in its commitment to launch Operation True Promise III against the Israeli regime in response to acts of aggression against the country by Tel Aviv.

"If True Promise III has not been fulfilled yet, there is wisdom behind the delay, not that it has been canceled," Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said on Friday.

He characterized the delay as strategic and due to deliberate wisdom.

The official lauded the Islamic Republic's leadership as "wise, brave, forward-thinking, and prudent,"​ indicating that the operation would be carried out in due course at Ayatollah Khamenei’s discretion and based on the Leader’s prudence.

The remarks came less than a week after Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri underscored that the country had developed “all the [defensive] dimensions that are required for generating a [military] capability that is ten times [stronger than] the one deployed during Operation True Promise II.
