“As a Yoruba Person Living In Abia State, I Have Often Heard The Claim That Igbos Don’t Sell Land To People From Other Tribes. From My Experience, That Is Not True. Many Of Those Spreading This Narrative Have Never Even Visited Igbo Land. I Have Personally Met Many Fellow Yorubas And People From Other Tribes Who Own Land And Properties Here And Are Living Very Peacefully.” ~ Ola Reacts
The game plan is very clear, president Tinubu will complete his 8yrs term, and Minister Nyesom Wike will succeed him as the next president of Nigeria.
I'll visit this tweet in 2031.

SHORT RECAP OF BURNA BOY’S FIFA WORLDCUP FINAL HALFTIME PERFORMANCE… WAIT FOR THE MOMENT A NIGERIAN MAN IN THE STADIUM HAILED HIM “WASHERE OMO IYA MI.” AND ODG SHOOK HANDS WITH HIM! 😂❤️
This is how an average Ibo man thinks, it doesn't matter if he is educated or not. Thank God say na the same Ibo man (though some said Ebonyi people are not Igbos ) Tinubu dey take clear una doubt.
This nonsense happens in music too. If you say something about Wizkid, somebody will reply with Davido. It is just an us vs you thing now, regardless of context. You are either a hater or a lover. You are either on our side or theirs.
In the past we used to love Dbanj, 2baba, PSquare, Nice, Banky, Eldee, Wande Coal. Even among rappers, we enjoyed all of them. You might have your favourite but we listened to and loved all of them. Jesse Jagz, MI, Saucekid, Naeto C, Vector, Reminisce, Olamide.
Musicians used to collaborate a lot and push each other. They even pushed their release date to accommodate another person. Everywhere sweet.
We even used to love both Wiz and Davido until this social media era where they are forcing you to love one and hate the other. All of you will be alright. I don’t know where you got heart for hate.
“The most frightening thing about aging is that silent moment you realise that the world has started moving faster than you despite your best efforts.”
