Airtime:




my brother you are wrong, what are your attributes then as a good leader? your subjects insulted you does not mean you will insult them back. as a leader you are expected to forgive nd forget, bring everybody together and not putting more fire...

Goke7:


The SE and SS declared public hatred for PMB during the elections campaign last year, PMB is human like everyone of us, if any group display openly their hatred for you, it will take you time to get over it easily. The SE and SS also added insult to injury by telling PMB and the whole world openly that they had no regrets supporting Jona.

The SE and SS lack political tact, the northerners who supported Jonathan all through lay low after the elections and started reaching out diplomatically to PMB, even the northerners in PDP presently are always tactful when dealing with PMB. Politics is a game and it could go either way. When its not in your side, you act diplomatically and build bridges. Our brothers across the Niger must learn and respect others even when they do not agree politically. PMB will complete his tenure and when another election time comes, every region will have their opportunity again to show their political prowess. We should stop being cry babies.

There is not even smoke on the mountain,they are about to see real buahari,then,many people will start calling on international community to intervene,these criminals should know that they are not ghost.

Faith111:


Secretly? Wait a minute. You are seriously contradicting what you guys openly and selfishly yearn for 'A so-called United Nation'
If you guys long for Regionalism, then why the Hate?
On the other hand we don't need your support cos you guys are as unstable as the Waters.
Openly for A and Secretly for B.

I don't hate any Tribe cos I'm related to over 5 tribes in Nigeria including Yoruba.
Look through my posts and you'll find out that I've never said anything odd about the Yorubas.
But i hate Insincere and Insensitive people.
If the Yorubas were the ones that had oil in their land, everyone would have had to buy tickets daily in other to use crude products like petrol aside the actual cost.

Onyejiuwaokoh:
northerners supported Jonathan? U are not living in Nigeria or maybe u are a chronic liar just like the present government. The first day Jonathan was sworn in after the death of Yaradua, there was riot in the north. In 2011, when Jonathan won the election, there was bloody riot and hundreds of people killed including 12 NYC members. When Jonathan removed the fuel subsidy, the north violently shot down the their region and there was no movement then. Buhari won nobody was killed in the east, and now there is no light,no fuel and price of goods increased by 100% and nobody fights him. He removed the fuel subsidy and the same north that fought against it hypocritically were matching in support of subsidy removal.

Firefire:


Jonathan supervised the National Conference, let Buhary implement the recommendations. Thank you.

Why didn't they request for that when Jonathan was in power? it would have been easy for them.

What the new sheriff should do to stop the destruction are some of the followings:

1. Go to national TV, and withdraw his reckless and divisive statements.

2. Appoint people from every region, giving them a stake in their own country.

3. Free political prisoners.

4. [s]Ensure oil black are given to the owners in the region.[/s]

5.Clean up the area.

6. Implement true federalism.

7. [s]Release Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally and apologize to him.[/s]

These are some off the things that will make the country safe and good for all...

But if he continues with his winner take it all..he should be ready to use proceeds from ground nut, cocoa and tomatoes, to run his government of 97%...

tete7000:


I am not disputing there are issue with existing arrangement but I may ask: do you think it is safe for other ethic nationalities to live with a militant ijaw within a sovereign state? It is better the issue of true federalism is solved at Nigerian level than for the Delta to exist as sovereign state.

SweetGuy225:

Aren't we all tried of all these problems, militancy today, terrorism and Boko Haram tomorrow. These problems always appear for a reason, they are not just there. Why can't Nigerians come together and ask ourselves what the problem really is? Why is everybody complacent, docile and unconcerned about the national question. Everybody thinks corruption is Nigeria's problem.

The national question is a bigger problem than corruption. How can we live together and share governmental responsibilities without much problems? That is the question.

You voted Buhari to fight corruption. OK, he's fighting corruption but isn't there a bigger problem facing the country now? Militants have reduced government revenues by a quarter all because of what? The NATIONAL QUESTION!!!

Let Nigerians continue to act like they don't care, that we are one fantastically united country and that corruption is our major problem. Militants, Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram will keep teaching y'all a lesson.

Goke7:


Lies, how many Yoruba got appointments under GEJ compared to his brothers from the SS and SE, you guys problem is that you forget so easily.

GEJ was a bigot if not he would have been re-elected

Goke7:


sorry, i do not live off oil, those who told you that everybody in Nigeria lives on oil are your greatest enemies. If you say your oil is feeding greedy politicians, you may be right but that all Nigerians live on oil, chai, you have been lied to.

bishopkay:
Way to go but let's start with true federalism first!

Enough of regional parasitism in Nigeria. Hell stealing my house and offering me the job of a gate man.

This guy, why are you crying more than the bereaved

The "oyel" isn't that special any more so why do you people jump, hit yourselves on the floor and weep and "advice" anytime you hear NDA? Shuu

You said in one of your posts the SS and SE didn't vote PMB so he's right to marginalize them so I have a question for you.

1. Is Buhari president of Nigeria or the north and SW?
2. The people of the SS and SE, are they part of Nigeria or not?

Last bullet: Every body has a right of association. I have a right to vote whom ever I choose!

Upon the hate and sabotage meted out on Jonathan by the north, he never marginalized them nor made any 5% and 97% speech against them. Hell they even stoned his convoy in the north...if that happens to Buhari today, won't he order his security detail to shoot at the people?

Even upon the hate, the man even developed the backward region more than any leader from their region has ever done at the expense of his southern origin. So just give up already in your campaign to justify Buhari's brazen act of stupid talk

dunlie:


You sound more like a perpetual criminal..... calling someone that is yet to be convicted a criminal shows how senseless you are.

Ooni:
This is Ipob in action. That group is very powerful but we dont know. We should come together and discuss the basis of our unity rather than call it mere militancy. This was how north and south sudan conflict started.

We yorubas should come out and say the truth otherwise we may not know what those Ibos is cooking until they finish happening.

if Nigeria is 95% dependent on oil den we all do cause d money u get from ur business and other trades are oil money.

aluk:



The end justifies the means. The National Conference was a means to an end, not an end in itself. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. GEJ had all the time in the world to start the implementation of the National Conference recommendations but he didn't do jack. The reason being that there was an ulterior motive behind convening the conference in the first place. It was to serve a selfish purpose of getting him reelected by dolling out cash to some prominent individuals in the country. And that was what actually happened.

Now, why did all these hostilities start cropping up again now that Buhari is in the saddle? I am sure the story would have been different if GEJ had won.

Mind you, I am all for restructuring of this country to take away power from the center and difuse it to the federating units. But we must not shy away from telling the truth as it is.

Destroying national assets is not patriotic. It is not the way to solving a regional problem. There are tensions in all the regions of the country. No one is happy, but there's always a better and more sensible way to address these kinds of problems. Holding the govt to ransom because strategic national assets are cited in your region is exposing such a region to underdevelopment because even if the NDA achieves their demands, they would have sent a signal to investors that that region is hostile, dangerous and unstable. No sane investors will move into such a volatile environment.

By the way, all this is probably a blessing in disguise. Let the Nigerian govt stops paying lip service to diversification. Let it get serious and find the alternatives to oil revenue by looking inwards. Nothing lasts forever.

Faith111:


Then President Buhari is Not a Politician and can't rule a complex nation like Nigeria.
Now he knows we hate him, let him let us be...
We wanna be all by ourself...
He should rule those who Love him (North and SW) and leave Us to control our resources.
You can't Hate us and want our Crude...No way!
I understand the Yorubas are pained because they have no resource to control...
Remember you have lands for Cocoa farming.

Goke7:


interesting, yes we long for regionalism but we will never destroy any infrastructure to make our demands, that's the difference, call us names if you like, we easily move on unlike our brothers across the Niger. if what happened to abiola on june 12 had happened to our brothers across the niger, the civil war that will erupt will still be on till today. The yorubas have had its fair share of marginalization and political robberies but we easily move on and keep on strategizing, we have been in opposition for a very long time and we never broke bottle sef or cry for sovereign state just because things don't go our way.

sammhi:

this issue was raised up and Edwin clark publish list of all ministers and Head of parastatals by state of origin...and it was equal distribution...
Yoruba was minster of investment and minster of agric
Maybe , yes he could have given some juicy positions to you guys but he promised to rectify these when he visited obas during the campaign...
Aluko and Sowore are yorubas who made billions in GEJ era..
why can't you guys give him benefit of doubt..
ok..we are in this together now..let's pray it's is not going get worse than this

NavierStokes:


Jonathan already organized one, Buhari and APC have vowed to never implement, infact they refused to participate in the conference.

Goke7:


oga PMB is human and so are you, GEJ never spared Bankole the former house speaker when he assumed office, Bankole was held by his trousers when he was arrested by the efcc, why did you not preach forgiveness to GEJ then, when he was hounding amaechi and el rufai all over the place, who told GEJ about forgiveness. You see the problem with us? we only shout when it comes to our end. we will never move on that way sir. GEJ insulted the likes of obj back then and he was hailed. when we said GEJ was not showing leadership, we were called haters and all sorts.

Faith111:


O then, if the Marriage called Nigeria no longer works why don't we split.
Why Hate people who seek Regionalism.
Whenever I take time to read topics on NL, I'm always amazed at the degree of Hatred and Insensitivity put up by the Yorubas in particular.
Sorry you feel bad, but I feel terrible.
Regionalism seems like the only solution.
Enough of the pretence, each region will do better on their own. God has blessed us in diverse ways and we will never know it till we split.
Trust me we youths will be better off that way.
The few powerful people who deceitfully Stand for A united Nation are doing so cos of their personal interest.
The youths need to wake up.
