nduchucks:

Your state boundaries do not stretch offshore, even your canoes cannot reach those offshore rigs. Why the laziness of claiming what you have not invested a penny in developing? Offshore oil is in the territorial waters of the great country of Nigeria and belongs to ALL Nigerians.

If you want to claim it for yourselves, declare your own republic and fight for it.


so you know all these and yet akwa ibom state has been reaping from all the oil money? Oya go and take the oil derivation due to akwa ibom state to your desert ravaged maiduguri

maclatunji: Is it watching your country get overrun by non-state actors when your country's military had defeated brutal insurgents in other countries like Sierra Leone and Liberia in the past?

Would it be patriotic or treasonable to support such a leader?

Patriotism is simply such innate desire to love one's country same way we love our mum,dad and self !!!

But Nigeria is such a different country where everybody seem not to care and the problem is simply the foundation of this country and our constitution .......

Patriotism is more than loyalty to the president though unless you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that the president has committed an Heinous crime against the nation , you dare not disobey your president , it is simply a Treason punishable by Death !!

Let me also ask u;
Were u patriotic when obj conniving with Atiku almost ruined this country?
Were u patriotic when Buhari arrested all those than that criticised him and jailed them?e.g of the aforementioned are fela kuti,tai solarin and nduka irabor.
Were u patriotic when IBB murdered 3promising youth for committing crimes that werent punishable by death as at then?
Were u patriotic when obj failed to pass the FOI bill for so many yrs?
Were u patriotic enough to tell tinubu not to render our higher institutions useless?were u patriotic to ask tinubu not to send his kids abroad for school?

So u suddenly became patriotic because GEJ has decided to build over 130 special schools(almajiri schools) for the long neglected kids in the north?
U just became patriotic because those kids wont be prone to be brainedwashed again?

U suddenly became patriotic because GEJ has deregulated petroleum sector thus making investors rushing to build refineries and petrochemical plants in nigeria?

Are u bin patriotic because GEJ has built and refurbished all the the railways with modern trains?
Are u bin patriotic because agric sector is booming thus creating thousands of direct employment for our teeming youths?
Are u bin patriotic now because the innocent young president is from a minority or because he is a christian?
Are u bin patriotic because he is calm,calculative and represent a new breed of leader in this generation?
May God help u to be positively patriotic

I expect you to partake in a logical and reasonable discussion if you want to be taken seriously. Lets refrain from childish innuendos please.

Nigeria beat Congo 3 - 2. I guess I am patriotic by clannish sectarian secessionists standards? That is is not patriotism that is delusion.
