No Nwakali. No Abass. No Nnadi.

But my main grouse is leaving out Ndidi yet you incude Aribo. Bro, I know it's your opinion but it is my honest analytical opinion as well that yours needs re-evaluation.

Akinsanmiro and Eletu have both been promoted to the first teams of Inter and AC Milan respectively, here's to wishing them an amazing season cause these kids are the immediate future of that Eagles midfield. A midfield of

Iwobi
Onyedika
Yusuf
Daga
Eletu
Akinsanmiro
Aribo
Onyeka is rich in depth and decent quality.

Notice how I didn't include Ndidi, cause I honestly think he's not good enough any longer to be a starter, he's better off on the bench.

The joke here is that Yorubas are even taking this Finland based idiot serious, Gani Adam's even wasted his time in replying the nutjob (although I understand that he needed to pass a clear warning as a factional Yoruba leader)

Honestly in all of this it's the SE governors and leaders that I blame, if not for failed leadership no sane person will even give jobless morons like Simon Ekpa any attention since he has no job in Finland, on a normal level na small boys suppose organize correct beating for Ekpa...but here we are, a region that prided itself as the most peaceful in Nigeria now does sit-at-homes because some miscreant said so, will this rubbish have happened if the likes of Ojukwu, Sam Mbakwe, Chuba Okadigbo and other tough Igbo leaders were still around?

So when are those Ckay, Kcee, and Ojapiano going to sell O2 or go on massive world tour and selling out big arena like the other A-list Artists like Davido, Wizkid, Burna, Asake, and etc?

Even portable will pull more crowd for his show if he go head to head with Kcee. Kcee time don pass.

Yoruba is the Afro best language, it is the language people abroad use to qualify Nigerians. Wouldn’t it be good to just adopt it as the official language in the South?

We need to personally table this matter to Igwe Obi of Onitsha o and summon the 5 SE governors to a round table to look into this offer.

If everyone speaks Yoruba in the SE, there wouldn’t be need for sit at home because everybody will be busy throwing owambe and enjoying life. Who wan get time for terrorism wey IPOB dey do?

Imagine comparing the likes of Ckay who just came into the game with established veterans like Davido, Burna and Wizkid? Are you well at all?

Culture / Why We Cancelled Yoruba Cultural Ceremony, Isese Festival – Emir Of Ilorin by mancoconut: 1:52am On Jul 09, 2023
Why We Cancelled Yoruba Cultural Ceremony, Isese Festival – Emir Of Ilorin

The Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu Gambari has explained that the reason behind the cancellation of Isese festival, a Yoruba cultural ceremony held in the town annually.

SaharaReporters had reported that Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, in an open letter, criticised the Emir of Ilorin, for reportedly banning the Yoruba cultural ceremony.

Soyinka had described the decision to cancel the festival as “a crime against the cultural heritage of all humanity” and “an assault on civilised conduct”.

He had said the Nigerian constitution guaranteed a freedom of belief, adding that the cancellation would undermine the country’s progress.

But reacting to the position of Soyinka, the monarch said the decision to cancel the ceremony was to prevent crisis.

The Emir described the decision as “proactiveness”, saying it “is necessary to sustain peaceful co-existence in the society.”

Gambari in statement issued on Friday through his spokesperson, AbdulAzeez Arowona, said the decision was taken to avert situations that might lead to “reprisal attacks by sympathisers or promoters of such belief (Isese festival) in other parts of the country”.

He added that the priestess had lived “harmoniously” in the town for years “until she decided to go beyond her boundaries”.

“In order to set records straight, Professor Wole Soyinka tends to be economical with facts, forgetting that war is nobody’s want,” the statement said.
grin
“As he decided to settle with a factor that is capable of causing chaos in the society, if not quickly averted.

“This is to prevent crisis and not waiting until it erupt because the cost of managing crises cannot be equated to the wisdom or courage required to prevent it.

“Such proactiveness is necessary in order to sustain peaceful co-existence in the society. It is therefore surprising to hear that the position of Professor Soyinka is identical to someone who does not consider what might transpire if the programme was hosted.

“It may result to issues which could also lead to reprisal attacks by sympathisers or promoters of such belief (Isese festival) in other parts of the country.

“There are many non-indigenes in Kwara who are serving and retired, including business owners who have vowed to move their families to the state due to the peace and harmony enjoyed therein.

“Yeye Ajesikemi also confirmed that she has been living harmoniously in Ilorin for many years, not until she decided to go beyond her boundaries,” the statement partly read.

Politics / Re: Tinubu Must Send BATTALLIONS Of Federal Troops To Igboland, And END Sit-At-Home by mancoconut: 1:47am On Jul 09, 2023
Rostikol:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

The madness in the East is threatening to derail the good reputation being restored to Nigeria, following the new leadership.

The entire world is excited for Nigeria going forward, yet in the south east, Igbos have turned against themselves, killing and maiming themselves for no tangible reason.

This is becoming a dent on the NEW NIGERIA we are all aspiring to, including Easterners who stand to benefit greatly from Tinubu's trade and industry - friendly policies.

Tinubu Must Deploy BATTALLIONS of heavily armed Nigerian Soldiers, complete with BATTLE TANKS To The South East, And END Sit-At-Home once and for all.

STATION THE TROOPS THERE FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES to restore sanity to that region.

The South East is falling apart before our very eyes. An unimaginable development even 10 years ago.

Nigeria cannot afford to have a new version of SOMALIA or D.R. CONGO, within its hallowed borders.

President Tinubu, ACT.

Education / Achunike Okafor Honoured By U.S. School For Record-breaking GPA In Newark by mancoconut: 9:05am On Jul 05, 2023
Achunike Okafor honoured by U.S. school for record-breaking GPA in Newark; gets 40 scholarship offers

Science Park High School at Newark in New Jersey, U.S., has honoured a Nigerian graduate, Achunike Okafor, for his extraordinary performance.

According to TapIntoNewark, an online newspaper, Mr Okafor received an International Baccalaureate diploma with a record-shattering 4.625.grade-point average from the school.

His GPA is the highest among Newark’s 2,649 graduates in the Class of 2023 and the highest ever for the city public school district.


It earned him more than 40 scholarship offers, many from the nation’s top universities: Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Princeton, Penn State, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Southern California, and Rutgers.

“I am grateful for the opportunities to attend such esteemed universities and to represent my family and community. I do not take lightly the privilege and responsibility to be among the few individuals selected for such honours,” Mr Okafor said.

The 18-year-old plans to attend Harvard University to pursue a neuroscience degree.

“There’s absolutely nothing average him,” Science Park principal Darlene Gearhart said. Achunike is an extraordinary (person). He’s humble, driven, and industrious. He has always been a great kid. He is always eager to learn,” Mr Gearhart said.

Superintendent of Schools Roger León acknowledged Achunike’s exceptional performance as a source of pride for Science Park High, the school district, and the Newark community.

“We are extremely proud of Achunike Okafor. His achievements are a testament to his perseverance, resilience, and dedication to excellence. We wish him continued success at Harvard and look forward to more accomplishments from him in the future,” Mr León said.

Mr Achunike’s father, Godfrey Okafor, said his son’s achievements were also a source of family pride.

“We place a high premium on education in our home. Education, and continuing to learn in life, allows young people to provide for themselves and their families and build their future,” said Mr Okafor, a high school math teacher.

Mr Okafor says his five other children, including two older sons and three daughters, are studying computer engineering, pharmacology, nursing and law, respectively.

Outside the classroom, Mr Achunike was cofounder of his school’s Science Club and vice-president of its Junior Student Council and Stand & Deliver Club. He was also the president of its Future Educators Club and Black Student Union, co-captain of its robotics team, and treasurer of its Environmental Club.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE OHANEZE YOUTHS! The real Ohaneze group has only one existing body under Chief Iwuanyanwu and they've repeatedly debunked having any other existing splinter group(s) that speak for them. I stay in Imo state and even though there have been ongoing issues in the mostly oil-rich communities of Izombe, Agwa and Oguta between security operatives and some oil bunkering hoodlums, the situation has never escalated to the extent Nations Newspaper (a Tinubu media outlet) are reporting it. Soldiers themselves are involved in the criminality of oil bunkering.

With that being said, Uzodinma is surely making his government increasingly untenable and unpopular each passing day, people are tired of him and can't wait to risk it all come November by voting him out in the guber elections...not even his "Ebubeagu" state sponsored criminal outfit will stop the mandate of the people, Ndi Imo will rather die at the polls than have their franchise truncated again. Enough of this madness, Imo has always been an entertainment hub full of beautiful hotels, women and amazing night life until Uzodinma's APC govt came in through the judicial backdoor and ruined everything. A whole glamorous Owerri is now a shadow of its self.

Music/Radio / Re: Why Are Our Brothers Missing On The International Music Scene? by mancoconut: 2:09am On Jun 26, 2023
Yoruba language due to the Lagos commercial influence has a strong foundation in Afrobeats, that's why it's easier for a mid Yoruba artiste who releases an "okay" song to easily get more attention than his counterpart in the East or South South who drops a hotter tune

Of course that's not taking anything away from the Yoruba language which is undeniably beautiful, which makes it the official language of anything music/art in Nigeria. But the Igbo language is equally soothing and beautiful especially when we use it in our highlife music. The likes of Flavor Nabania, Phyno, Zoro, Ckay (love Nwan-titi),Tekno used Igbo language to become heavy hitters in the music industry...the others like Victony, Crayon, Poco Lee, Rexxie etc used Yoruba cause that's they were born or raised in the SW and had to capitalize on the Yoruba language brand to sell their art.

Yorubas dominate Afrobeats
Igbos dominate the gospel music aspect, Sinachs "waymaker" album alone has sold more top charting copies worldwide than majority of your mainstream Afrobeats songs.

Lastly the South South boys are fast catching up and might overtake the Yorubas soon in Afrobeats, Rema and Burnaboy are currently leading the pack so far.

Politics / Gunmen Kill 20, Burn Several Houses In Plateau Communities by mancoconut: 7:53pm On Jun 21, 2023
Gunmen kill 20, burn several houses in Plateau communities

As gunmen continue their onslaught against communities in Plateau State, at least fourteen people, mostly women, were burned to death, and another six were killed in different communities in Mangu and Riyom local government areas of the state in the early hours of Wednesday.

According to reports, the gunmen suspected to be Fulani militias infiltrated Bwai community around 12:34 am and set fire to a Church of Christ in the Nation (COCIN) and other properties, including motorcycles and vehicles, within the premises.

A source close to the community revealed that the clergyman and his family who lived within the church premises escaped unharmed, while the attackers went on a burning spree, targeting the market near the church.

The source further explained that the assailants moved to the neighbouring community called Chisu along the Mangu-Bokkos road. There, they unleashed terror on the residents, resulting in the death of 14 people who were burned to death.

The people of Chisu, who had received information about the attack on Bwai, sought refuge in the bush. However, some individuals, mostly women, took shelter in the house of the community leader.

“Unfortunately, those who sought shelter in the community leader’s house were trapped as the militias blocked both the entrance and exit before setting it on fire. They ensured that the people inside were burned to death,” the source said.

“When we arrived at the burned house of the community leader this morning, we discovered at least fourteen charred bodies beyond recognition. During the more than two-hour attack, the gunmen also burned down several houses and other properties.”

The source also mentioned that there was prior intelligence about the attack, which was relayed to the appropriate security

The source also mentioned that there was prior intelligence about the attack, which was relayed to the appropriate security agencies.


“There was an intelligence report yesterday that the gunmen were gathering at Murish, and the report was passed on to the appropriate security agencies. The people of Chisu had laid an ambush for them along the suspected route, but the attackers suddenly changed their path. When they arrived, they started burning before resorting to shooting.”

In another incident, the gunmen attacked Sambak village in Rahoss, Riyom local government area of the state, resulting in the death of six people on Tuesday around 11:00 a.m.

Hon. Bala Fwenji, a member of the State House of Assembly representing Mangu constituency, confirmed the attacks on the two communities and the fourteen people burned to death. He expressed his disappointment with the federal government, stating that the people of the state have been abandoned.

“In the less than one month that we have had a new government in place in Plateau State, we have witnessed several attacks and many lives lost, not only in Mangu but in other communities. Governor Caleb Muftwang’s administration inherited this pathetic situation, and he has made efforts within his capacity to address it,” Hon. Bala Fwenji said.

“However, it seems like we have been abandoned and forgotten by the federal government. We appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to come to our aid, and we hope the new Service chiefs will take immediate action in this regard.”

Efforts to reach the spokesperson of the Plateau State Police Command, DSP Alfred Alabo, proved unsuccessful.

Let's not kid ourselves, nobody is a kid here naive enough to think the SW ALL OF A SUDDEN want Akpabio to be SP because "they care so much about balancing power" or even the South South getting it out of fairness. We all know Apkabio is the popular choice of the SW APC because they want a rubber stamp to be in Tinubu’s pocket and do his bidding, same way Lawan was Buhari’s right hand man in the NASS. And it's absolutely fine, it's politics after all and politics is all about self-interest.

But abeg make una die that absurd narrative that the SW give a shitt about the South, it's all tribal interest for them as always but they can enjoy it while it last. More drama will unfold soon.
