The APC government is not the problem. The opposition who have no pathway to electoral victory is the problem.
Ethnic tensions and tribalism increased in 2015 after former President Buhari won the presidential election. His Fulani tribe, and the North were targeted with all sorts of abuses for 8 years. Fulanis were all called terrorists and the North was called illiterates. I digress - a Fulani militia exists. But they are not a representative of the whole tribe.
In 2022 when it appeared as though Bola Ahmed Tinubu was going to win in 2023, his Yoruba tribe became the target of insults and abuses. Many Yorubas went silent on this app.
In 2023 Bola Ahmed Tinubu won and was sworn in. Then, a lot of Yoruba people started pushing back, saying focus on Tinubu, not his tribe. It was him who begged for this job.
He lost in Lagos and Osun, two Yoruba states but Peter Obi for example, cleared all Igbo states with over 90%. Is Obi a match for Tinubu? My answer is NO. But others disagree. How come Yoruba folks who voted against Tinubu in Osun and Lagos are called bigots but majority of the Igbos who voted for Obi are not bigots?
A lot of Yorubas have not been as silent as the Fulani and Northerners. They have returned abuse for abuse, provocation for provocation, gaslighting for gaslighting, and propaganda for propaganda, in defence of the Yoruba tribe, culture, political, traditional and religious icons, not Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The APC is a national party. It has supporters from the North, the South, the East and the West. The President was voted for in Kano, Benue and Enugu.
It is those who have no pathway to political victory that introduced tribalism and continue to fan the flames of hatred so they can get sympathy votes from their ethnic group.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Premier League confirm an independent Commission has found Manchester City GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.
The club has the right to appeal the independent Commission’s findings and has until Friday 2 October to exercise that right.
The Premier League Board’s intention is that the full process (including any appeals and publication of relevant decisions) is concluded as soon as possible.
The independent Commission found that between Seasons 2009/10 and 2017/18:
- Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs
- The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators
- Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits
- During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld)
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City found guilty on virtually all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. #MCFC expected to appeal against verdict issued by independent commission. Sanctions undecided, process ongoing @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/Muxqp4beK9

@Blue_Footy I was just saying the same thing earlier 😹😹
We cannot match a side this physical at the moment. We will so collapse and eventually forget how to compete and play.
Feel a bit bad for Alonso today. How can you go to the Emirates with those midfield options? I still can’t believe we left it so late to get a midfielder in the summer. Not the worst loss in the world, sucks losing to Arsenal but it’s only Xabi’s third game
Better days ahead
@pbtips_ We are not yet at Arsenal’s level to be honest… They beat city 3-0.
It was a close game, and we can’t start raising manager questions after one loss.
We go bounce back for sure. 😅
