TYPES OF PEOPLE YOU SEE AT A NEWSPAPER STAND IN THE SOUTH-EAST

Newspaper stand in this context is referred to an open booth or stand at which newspapers and periodicals are sold. this thread examines an aggregate of the individual views, attitudes, and beliefs about a particular topic, expressed by a significant proportion of a community of newspaper readers.

It is generally believed that people are entitled to their own opinion, but I think some opinions are superior and so should be adopted as a standard....... In most of the stands, people of different characters and background converge to express their opinion about the recent happenings in the country and beyond.. I therefore classify these people according to their preferred topic.

This post is not targeted at any body or tribe in particular and that no one should be perturbed as I have no bad feeling for anybody, it is a product of experience

1.THE BIAFRA SUPORTERS.................the zoo must fall

These are people of varying age brackets who will tell u of how the ZOO will fall before the end of the month. they are so much convinced of Biafra realization that u will hear from them how Russia,America,China,UN have given Buhari ultimatum to let our people goo.......according to them, once Biafra is actualized, there will be perfect peace in the land,no more poverty,unemployment and that any street tout that supports Biafra will be made Army officer..lolz......
u don't dare say anything against Biafra in their presence unless u hate ur life unfortunately none of them has contributed a dine in the account details Provided on radio Biafra for the struggle.....NB, I support Biafra but not through Kanu's strategy.

2.THE ANTI-APC/BUHARI

These group see every APC/Buhari supporter as an enemy of Ndi-igbo, to them anybody supporting APC is in support of islamizing Nigeria....unfortunately, u will hear stories like....Buhari is building an islamic university in Ebonyi state....(No name or address) and that when completed,our pple will be forced to join Islam.."Lolz
Again, they will tell u how Rochas used the whole of Imo state 2015 budget to build the highest MOSQUE in the world...(The person saying this may not have been to Imo state before)

3. THE JOB SEEKER.........

These ones usually come to the stand quitely with their pen and paper to copy addresses and vacancies advertised on the Naija dailies,they pay a token to peruse and give back the paper to the vendors

4. THE MBAKA SUPPORTERS...................

These ones are popularly called "umu ikuku" they come around to check headlines of Adoration news......they brag about how Daddy Mbaka is the only true man of God in the country that hears directly from the Holy Spirit.....hmmmm,
As far as Mbaka loves Buhari, any negative story against Buhari's govt.is a lie that should be discarded.....for real you shouldn't forget "not to touch my annoited and to my prophet do no harm" not minding the fact that the guy has commercialised and politicalized his ministry

5.THE NATIONALISTS.............................

These one are more of refined, educated, enlightened and exposed classes of people who normally comes around to buy newspapers.........they try as much as possible to avoid any discussion that encourages division,of any kind, be it political,tribal,religious and other wise....they diplomatically analyze Nigeria's,political and socio-economic problems and proffer lasting solutions to it...they encourage one Nigeria and may or may not belong to any political party.
Yours truly belongs to this group..........don't doubt me.

6.THE HISTORIANS.............................

These ones are mainly retired and active civil servants and old civilized men.they are very educating in their historical digest. they will tell you the history of Nigeria beyond colonization era,about the origin of bini kingdom and detailed history of Ojukwu,Biafra and other agitators. Some times, their history are not devoid of errors and exaggeration

7. THE POLITICIANS..............................

Just as the name implies,they know all the political calculations of Nigeria,their state and even Local governments know why all the government appointees were chosen and may even predict the next moves of our leaders

8.THE SPORTS ANALYST...................................

The know the history of every foot baller. u hear stories like we started street footballer together with Jay jay Okocha,kanu,Mikel and even Ronaldo just that luck is not by my side....................lolz

9.THE ONLOOKERS
These are group of dumb jobless and lazy persons who mostly come around to learn from these analysts.these analysts in return compound their problems the more with false information
