atlwireles: I tell you. Personally, I don't have a problem with inter-tribal relationships. In fact, I have always held that our greatest strength is our diversity and ironically, it is our worst nightmare. Through history, we are yet to learn a lesson. From the war, to actions after the war, to today, most people who unfortunately we look up to as leaders today are the same lot flaming the embers of hatred among our people. I am also scared of the future because of the advancement of technology. Because I know that in far away Kano, in those days, Igbo merchants who ply their trade speak the Hausa/Fulani language and live peacefully with the locals. I have seen citizens from Northern Nigeria who speak Igbo and Yoruba fluently. I have seen an Indian speaking fluently the local dialect of Yoruba in Ibadan. Today, Germany is opening its doors to migrants. The reason behind is to strengthen the economy. These guys will look for jobs, they will stimulate growth and put Germany on the path to economic recovery. Germany lost the war but today they are the Most Developed Nation in Europe. The almighty United States became known today because she opened the doors of other races. We just need to get this right and it must stop now; we must begin to tell these people who benefit from our disagreements and resist their every action. I have had cause to confront an Igbo guy who was confronting a hustling Hausa guy, calling him a 'boko'. I told him to stop and I believe we must also do so. The insecurity in the North can only be put to an end only when the leaders say no. Since they can't say no, it means they are benefiting from it. Oh, our country. 2 Likes 1 Share |

MizMyColi: Its interesting the last straw were SLS and the late Sir Ahmadu Bello's statements, the latter of which has been fought over already. What is it about this SNB suspension that rubs you so roughly the wrong way? The contract was not terminated. If there are inconsistencies in the concessionary agreement which could save Nigeria much needed resources, then why should the FG which contributes 30% of the funds hesitate to fix them after due evaluation? It is pertinent to state that I do not support the stoppage of this project under any guise, as i have also used the existing bridge and agree with the need for a new one. |

fulanimafia: Why now? Why today? Since March, 2014. Why today? Where were they when the transaction was being structured, prepared and negotiated? Where were they when construction started? It is standard practice in government that such a project is usually certified and constantly monitored. Where were they? Maybe when an accident occurs? Maybe when the bridge collapses? Are you not even bothered with the false and misleading information emanating from the mouths of these government agencies just because Mr. Probe is on seat? The other day it was diversion of funds for Lagos - Kano train project. You guys should stop insulting our collective intelligence here. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

fulanimafia: Fought over? How so? You mean the wars? or civil unrests? How does that change the fact that generations after him now hold on to those words as a means to further plunder my people. How does it change the average northerner's credo. Are we just supposed to sweep those words under the carpet like they mean nothing? I'm at a loss here, enlighten me please. You call it the wrong way because you're not in my shoes. Kindly look at that OP again and tell me even one cogent reason which that man gave. Ever since knowing JBerger, have you heard of incompetence or damages? The ember months are in sight. It's gon be another time of toil and untold hardship for the easterner. GEJ might have been a lot of things to everyone. But he was also a good man. Who would honestly believe that those villagers weren't properly compensated. If they weren't, do you think they would allow JB lift even a speck of sand? What kind of flimsy excuses are those bikonum. Such grappling at straws. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi captured it all. I won't say more. |

kaboninc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WSosECbcmM Kaboninc, kindly watch the video above again and bring yourself to the bitter truth and reality that the concept of One Nigeria is a huge Farce and Joke! Until the tenets of equity, fairness and justice are seen to be applied to all and sundry. I'm sorry, this discussion on unity (federally, not interpersonal relationships) is fruitless, nonsensical and over! |

MizMyColi: Lol! My dear, I can't see this video now because am on the move. But I will. However, if the clip is about the talk of expanding the caliphate....lol..... I strongly believe in a one Nigeria. Sometimes, breaking up may not be the best, take a look at South Sudan. Take a look a Libya. Take a look at the consequence of Scotland breaking off from Great Britain and the attendant spiraling effect world over, of Hong Kong, Taiwan. I particularly have problem with the leaders (our leaders) who will benefit from the breakaway. That is also why I do not support the agitation of ND, at least for now because the same leaders who drive this cause will be the same who will plunder their collective resources. Who will lead the South South? The Militants? Oshimole, Amaechi? Wike? Who? Asari? Ateke? Tompolo? When the founders of this nation wanted a breakaway or independence, they did not blow up the capital, they did not blow up West Minister. But the current champions of today's breakaway are TERRORISTS! We may say oh, we need to have our own country, we need to be on our own and decide our future ourselves. Might is strength. Unity is strength. And anything that will foster our unity (like sports) should be encouraged by all. We should begin to ensure that collectively, we send a common voice. Collectively, we make a common presentation and take a common stand. Collectively, we adopt a common journey and this way, we chart our course ourselves. This is where I have a problem with the Ohaneze Ndigbo. This is where I have a problem with the ND. Most people may think I have not had it with the North or West, but my dad is a direct victim of actions of men from the north. But I choose to see opportunities. We must continue to demand in strong terms that the tenets of equity, fairness and justice is observed and be seen to be applied to all and sundry. Our discussion on social media is sending a strong message. With forums like this, we can be able to talk, express ourselves and communicate our feelings and reservation against actions and in-actions of government. The leaders of today know the importance of this medium and while some are making good, courageous and concerted use of it, analyzing the topics being discussed, developing policies and implementing these policies along the lines of these discusses, others are using it to extend and promote their evil agenda, wetting the appetite of hate among Nigerians. This we must continue to resist, even here in Nairaland! |

MizMyColi: How do you mean generations under him hold onto those words? Kindly explain. Prove to me all you said here are not just conjectures; what exactly do you know about an average northerners credo? MizMyColi:Your words here would hold true if you were absolutely sure the reasons given completely hold no water. It sounds like you're playing victim, pardon my lack of a better term MizMyColi: You cannot absolve GEJ of the FAILURE to complete the SNB Please watch this expose' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPy0c7tP4Vk MizMyColi: SLS is but one man, he was not speaking in the capacity of the North's spokesman (that's even assuming the 'North' is one single entity). |

kaboninc: Growing up in a household where my father wore the uniform for more than 30 years and killed defending what was called Nigeria's unity, tribalism was not a part of my life. Unfortunately I don't feel that way anymore, I refuse to play along as if nothing is wrong. |

atlwireles: I share your grief. But am hopeful of a better, united Nigeria. |

kaboninc: I just don't have any optimistic view of this country anymore, the more I try the less hopeful I have become.  |

MizMyColi:I have NO idea where you got your facts from but are you actually comparing Sanusi to Jonathan? Really? You are comparing SANUSI - a man that brought corrupt practices to the attention of the FG and JONATHAN - a man that sacked Sanusi because he tried to expose the corruption in the system. Are you for real? Did work commence on the second Niger bridge or not?Yes Did we see evidence of structures coming up or not?If you call one pillar evidence, then yes. But we are not interested in evidence, excuses and failure, we want to see a finished bridge! Or aren't you aware that there are thousands of uncompleted projects littered all over Nigeria? Could the in-completion have been as a result of unforeseen circumstances?NO!! NO!!! NO!!! Massive corruption and Jonathan's legendary incompetence are the reasons why the Niger bridge was never completed! For heavens sake when would we call a spade a spade and stop sucking up to corrupt leaders who do not mean well for us? How come a mere 'state'- Lagos was able to successfully build a bridge that is longer than the second Niger bridge at less than half the price?? And they did it in less than 2 years! That bridge is now a Mecca of sorts that attracts people from all over. The Jonathan administration had absolutely NO EXCUSE for not building the second Niger bridge plain and simple! If Lagos could build a similar bridge at less than half the cost then something is obviously WRONG somewhere! |
