“I cannot explicitly tell the meanings of “Ọghẹnẹ” and “Oisa” [Orisa] at this time.” ~ Oyọmwan O.

Personally, I appreciate your radical honesty. But let me add to that: you’ll NEVER be able to tell the meaning of “Ọghẹnẹ” [or “Orisa”] IF you continue to assume that they are originally Ẹdo-Bini words
Each is a loanword — from the Yoruba language.
Let’s know if you’d like a linguistic breakdown✌🏾
Cheers!
Igbos will come to your land, commit crimes, then use it to paint your state black.
Black South Africans are not wise, but THIS is one reason they hyperfocus on Nigerians. It's also one reason Nigeria has a bad name globally.
Seven Igbos, three Mexicans. Drug den in Yorubaland.
All Nigerian Presidents since 1999 were sworn in before the tribunal verdicts but this angry ObiDENT singled out Tinubu because Tinubu gave his candidate a bloody nose 😆

Nobody prevented Zik from participating. AG and Chief Obafemi Awolowo soundly defeated him in the polls. His party, the NCNC, never held a majority in the House, and he was unable to secure enough votes to go to the center. Additionally, no one forced him out of the Western House of Assembly; he voluntarily resigned to create unrest in the East. The idea of "carpet crossing" is merely a coping mechanism used to falsely accuse the Yoruba of tribalism. Continuing to claim that he was blocked only perpetuates that falsehood.
@KayJaySzn@tolutee Ogun state is mentioned here which damages the reputation of the state, there by discouraging investors from investing in the state . The meth lab was ran by Ibos and some Mexicans. While face of Ogun state is being damaged
I’ve always maintained that Nigeria needs its own version of the Hukou system. The notion that anyone can move to any part of the country and become a nuisance simply because of shared citizenship is a Western assumption that does not fit our realities. And contrary to what regional system advocates believe, a “true federalist” system would not solve this problem out of the box. Underperforming states with irresponsible governors would simply offload their responsibilities onto the capable ones through unchecked out-migration. That is why developing countries in East Asia - those that have not drunk the three-letter institutions’ Kool-Aid - control internal migration within their borders. China has maintained such a system since the 1950s; Vietnam operates a close variant; and most East Asian countries maintain forms of household or residence registration that limit unrestricted movement. Even in Nigeria’s First Republic, Premiers had the power to deport people to their home regions if their presence constituted a threat to public safety.
If your plan is to embarrass President Tinubu,
don't give him an interview.
The moment he starts talking,
he'll educate you,
advise you,
and dismantle your arguments for free.
By the end, you'll be wondering who exactly interviewed whom.
When I say that I respect CR7’s accomplishments more, I know what I said.
I have never seen Messi excel in other leagues, or in a system not playing to his strengths. I’ve seen Ronaldo excel in damn near every league that exists, and in every style of play.
He won the Senate seat in court, a month after the August 1983 election.
That aside, a couple of things to note:
1. Military leadership does not automatically translate into political clout. Of the 4 former Nigerian military rulers who tried to return to the Presidency — Gowon, OBJ, Buhari and IBB — only two succeeded.
2. The circumstances in which Ojukwu exited Nigeria to Ivory Coast in January 1970 cost him a lot of goodwill. He’d also fallen out with some very influential Igbo leaders (like Zik), who disagreed with how he went about the war.
3. He was away in exile for 12.5 years. That’s a long time to be away from home (by force). Hard to maintain much political influence from exile.
According to you;
Finance is not one of your strengths.
You are not an economist.
You are a "bloody" layman.
So how did you conclude that the accounting in the minister's statement is not correct?
That politics you said you are not about, is what you are only about.
