It is an honour, and I am sincerely grateful to TYF for recognizing and promoting awareness of the deep Yoruba–Itsekiri connection. As the Oba of Okunland reiterated, we Itsekiris also yearn for the day when we are fully integrated into the South West

Itsekiri Proudly Represented by Aboyowa at Think Yoruba First 4th Annual Yoruba Global Conference

The Itsekiri nation was proudly represented by Aboyowa at the Think Yoruba First 4th Annual Yoruba Global Conference, held at the University of Lagos, Akoka. The presence of Itsekiri delegates underscores the growing collaboration between Yoruba and Itsekiri peoples, who share historical, cultural, and geographical ties.

Aboyowa's participation at the conference signals a commitment to regional unity, security, and development. The conference continues to serve as a platform for dialogue among all stakeholders invested in the future of the South-West and neighbouring communities.

“People have short memories. In 2023, before Tinubu came in, 27 states were borrowing just to pay salaries, infrastructure was dead on arrival. Today, no state is borrowing to pay salaries. None. That is the difference facts don’t argue with.” — Political Analyst

This leader of tomorrow, Mark Okoye, used ₦153 million meant to develop his region to rent a one-room office.

The South East Development Commission (SEDC), which was created yesterday, already has ₦2.5 billion implied expenditure.

Soon, they will come and cry how Tinubu marginalised them.

@Lord_Of_Warri The day I discovered that Igbos were instrumental in separating Itsekiri from South West was when I understood their agenda against us. They are just ingrates who are never satisfied. A sincere study of their history would reveal who their true enemies are, but who cares?

[Lord Of Warri @Lord_Of_Warri]

Among all those supporting the Urhobos and Ijaws, the Igbos surprised me the most.

I can understand Binis backing them because urhobo’s were their servants (at least until recently when the same people started doing it to Binis too), but Igbos?

You’re out here supporting the very groups that, during the Civil War, chased you out of their lands, seized your houses and properties, turning against the people you actually ran to for refuge, the ones who sheltered you and hid you from the federal forces.

Like How? Why?

Obi slammed Kenneth with lawsuit. Kenneth Okonkwo has responded with receipt of NDC collecting 10m from candidates.

Let’s see how NDC will deny this

Can you all see how CAF left their Best Referee out in the cold. No support, no statement, absolutely NOTHING. We all know the reason. When Infantino asks Motsepe to jump, Mr Sundowns just has to ask How High Oga?

Senator Kalu Confronts SEDC Boss Over N16.6bn Budget: "You Have N13bn Left, Not N11bn – I'm Disappointed"

A heated exchange unfolded during a Senate committee session as Senator Kalu grilled the Managing Director of the South East Development Commission, Mark Okoye, over the agency's expenditure from the 2025 budget.

Senator Kalu: "How much is left of the N16.6 billion you received from the 2025 budget?"

Mark Okoye: "We have N11 billion."

Senator Kalu: "You have N13 billion. I've spoken to the CBN. You're dealing with government officials. I'm disappointed in you, and this committee is disappointed."

Mark Okoye: "But I informed you last Friday, and you said I must come. I have evidence."

Senator Kalu: "Listen to me, you have one little office in Abuja where you pay N153 million. One room office! This committee knows."

The confrontation has sparked public outrage, with many questioning the commission's financial management and the staggering N153 million spent on a single-room office in Abuja. Calls for a forensic audit of the SEDC are growing louder.

THIS MUSLIM MAN SAID WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SAYING .

✅Dear OYO STATE people, go to the family houses of each of these people that invited and associated with GUMI the Spoke man of JIHADIST TERRORISTS killing our people . DO THIS ALSO IN IWO ÌBÀDÀN AND OGBOMOSHO

"It is jihad that these people are trying to achieve in the South -West, that's why they invited GUMI "

HE SAID ALL THE PEOPLE WHO INVITED GUMI ARE CULPRITS.

THE IWO, OYO AND THE OGBOMOSHO CLERIC ARE WORKING WITH GUMI TO TAKE YORUBALAND.

6 years of presidency will only make sense if we are returning to a regional form of government or something close to it.

@uche101567 @ediwilzy @NigeriaStories Everything the chairman presented was balderdash and the discrepancies in the documents were among the issues Senator Kalu complained about

[Abọyọwa @_checkings]

@ediwilzy @NigeriaStories He requested an audit of the chairman's account, so he's clearly interested
