maybe you should help him probe the other past government. Is it not logical that he is probing the last government before his. Phew

Who is he to put a statute of limitation on crimes against the state? He must think he is still a maximum ruler when his whims were law. You want to probe the regime of the only minority leader from the south south to have ever ruled Nigeria and you think it would bode well for our fragile unity? Kuntinu

If true then the man is Dulladinho Plus. Maximum Dullardnho formula.

Anyway, since it's a majority tribes gang up against the minorities who fund them with oil money, let them continue.

It is not about what Buhari wants, but what Nigerians want. Nigerians want all their stolen MONIES recovered, whether under Jonathan, Yar'Adua (and the cartel that hijacked power under him) Obasanjo, Abdulsalami (directly accused by Al'Mustapha of corruption), Abacha (whom contrary to what the world knows Buhari cleared of corruption) or IBB (and the Gulf War oil windfalls that Prof Okigbo said was missing).

I have carefully analysed recent events and taken time to study a lot of what happened before during and after the Biafran war.

The truth is that if the Igbos succeed in pulling out of Nigeria, the Niger Delta might not completely be part of the new country but they will definitely also seek to be on their own and manage their resources. This would effectively leave only the SW and the North in Nigeria. If it turns out this way, the Yorubas most likely would also gently ask to be left to be on their own. At the end of it all, we go our separate ways.

Let me quickly add here that Igbo land is much bigger than the Nigerian politically defined SE. Should Nigeria break today, all Igbo-speaking parts of the SS will be part of our new country. The Igbos will force no tribe to be part of us, we will accept those that want to stay with us and those that don't want to be with us will be free to stand on their own or join any other groups they so wish. I am saying this loud and clear so that some people will not come here and start shouting, "We are not part of your Biafra, leave us alone, leave our oil alone."

The Igbos can do very well without oil. There are many countries in the world without oil and are doing very fine. Germany is the most powerful economy in Europe today and they don't have a cup of crude oil there. Israel moved into a desert and converted it into a country very comfortable for habitation. The list is endless. Recent trends have also shown that oil is becoming worthless by the day. What really matters for a nation to be great is the quality of human resources available.

For the parts of the SS that would choose to be part of the new country, we can accept to run a regional system of government between the core Igbo states and parts of the Niger Delta. We can even accept a solution such that both regions would take 80% of revenue accrued within the regions and contribute 20% to the center. This the Niger Delta can never get in this present Nigeria.

For those people from the SS always shouting leave our oyel, I want to tell you that the Northerners are already drinking your oil and have even become drunk on it. You are shouting at Igbos to leave your oyel whereas Northerners are taking the same oil from under your nose and you can do nothing. How myopic and sentimental can some people be?

On a closing note, I believe in one Nigeria but one where there is justice, fairness & equity. For me, Buhari should hand over to an Igbo man if Igbos are truly part of Nigeria. We are part of the big three and too big to be ignored.

It will be a complete waste of precious time probing the "'far past''...as this might not even bring a reasonable result, it is only normal for a succeeding administration to probe d previous administration if they sense any form of financial recklessness. OBJ should have probed Abdusalam, Yaradua/GEJ should have probed Obj and the chain should go on. Since GEJ felt OBJ's administration was clean and didn't set up probing panels,why waste time on OBJ again..but PMB feels GEJ who he took over from was a captain of a corrupt bunch of people and he has decided to probe him..why are people wailing?? if he is innocent he should come and clear his name as well as those other corrupt members of his administration...Corruption is now a way of life in Nigeria and it is sad many people loving it...The fight must start from some where it will take a disciplined person to lead this fight.. God bless Buhari, Millions of Nigerians are with u in the fight against corruption. Whoever is guilty must face the wrath of the law..

Smh, this is just a regional government. PMB continu.


I heard $2.1 billion has been borrowed from world bank to habilitate the north east, to habilitate and rebuild the people that has chosen to mess themselves up? To the people who does not need the habilitaton.


The north has looted this country dry since 1960, yet they are the most underdeveloped. What difference will it still make if this $2.1 billion will be injected there? To be looted again?


How much has he borrowed to help build people who are willing to accept it? People who will embrace it? People who are willing to develop demselves without govt help? With just few amenities?



What effort has he put to make sure that all the money marked out to curtail and redevelop Niger delta based on oil spills in their community was and will be put to work or is being utilized ?

The Confed flag has been flying over government buildings in some southern states of the US since the civil war. No one had been arrested for that. Texas has openly agitated these past years for succession from the US, no one has been arrested and no one will question the patriotism or capability of a Texan or a candidate from South Carolina standimg for the office of the President of the USA. What they look at is the 'State of the Union'. The US acts fairly to all, Nigeria does not act fairly to all. The Confed flag came down by election by the representatives of the people of that state, by popular will, not by coercion, threats and mistreatment.

Nigeria on the other hand wants its constituents to fall in line by force, no matter how it treats its minorities and the people of the east and then it turns round to complain that they do not cooperate to build the nation.

Buhari has been such a disappointment so far, even for his most ardent supporters who are still sane.

Assuming this was what you wanted to do, while say it out openly. There is now no way any past admin would be successfully probed again. Any probe from this admin would now be seen as a witch hunt against GEJ and the people of the South-south. Anybody who thinks Nigeria would not unravel after that is such a DUNCE. I reali SMDH for Nigeria. Tis so unfortunate we have a Buncha arrogant, unthinking bigots in the helm of affairs.

NO..it didn't start with GEJ but it can/will end with GEJ's administration. If GEJ was interested in ending corruption, he should have probed OBJ's administration and brought anyone found guilty to face the wrath of the law.. simple...we cannot keep pretending that all is well with Nigeria..It is only logical that once u resume to an office of responsibility and u perceive any form of financial recklessness, u should probe the administration that handed over to u.. if not, the effects of such financial recklessness might consume u in no distant time.. it makes no sense probing the far past, that would be waste of time, past leaders failed us by not probing the administrations that preceded them despite knowing outright corruption existed.

Would Buhari proceed to Onitsha market to look for an Igbo man to hand over to? Or is it no longer the winner of a presidential election that incumbent hand over to?

Now that I've defined who can be handed over to, what are Igbos doing to get votes in other regions of the country, since the SE alone cannot elect a majority winner?

Is it by marketing hate all over the country and denigrating the very people whose votes can actualise the Igbo presidency?

Is it by labelling every Igbo politician who is smart enough not to be an ethnic local champion as a traitor?

Is it by your established notoriety as the "my brother" nepotists that will reassure Nigerians that the Igbo are politically enlightened enough to rule a heterogeneous society?




My friend stop with this one sided analysis already!
Tell me what Obasanjo did to garner vote for himself?
1999, he was virtually instituted by the powers that be.

Who generates more hate pls? Igbos? An igbo man would live and interact naturally with some from any ethnic group.

Check other tribes and see the hates they have against the igbos for no reason!

Did you people not label Jimi Agbaje for his PDP choice? Did you not label Femi-kayode? Did you not label Sambo for his PDP choice?

Check the percentage of vote that the SW gave PMB, its nothing compared to the North! So don't come here and start spilling ethnic sentiments.
After all, in 2011, GEJ won the election against PMB, the fact that PMB won it now doesn't make the SWs special!

Don't go denigrating any tribe or lifting one tribe above another!

Re: Buhari Will Probe Jonathan’s Govt Only; Not Obasanjo’s, Others – Presidency by Reference(m): 9:49am On Jul 23, 2015
Omotolu:
...it's not about handing over to an Ibo man, ibos should present a credible candidate for the nation's highest office. But for me and my family,we WILL NEVER VOTE AN IBO MAN TO THE PRESIDENCY. If I may ask what has an Ibo folks done for Buhari to deserve being handed the presidency?

Then your country cannot develop, pure and simple, but I'm sure the critical thought is lost on you since you donot know what development is due to years of living in desperate delusion and druggery. All countries moving forward are bending over backwards to accomodate their constituents. They see the strength of their countries as represented by the weakest members and reach out to include them. You talk of security, you talk of economy, how do you progress without inclusion. How do you take on the world with a fractured implement. Just wasting your time.

Jonathan could not had probe OBJ bcause he was intrumental to his emergence as president the same way Buhari will not probe OBJ b/c of the role he (obj) played in making Jonathan unpopular to pave way for his favourite candidiate, Buhari. But we must tread with caution, the unity of this country is paramount. If some thieves are seems to be untouchable, then the fight against corruption might just be a jambory. Danger! Danger!! Danger!!!
