The reason for not aging a candidate was as a result of obj's abracadabra. Obj fooled AD leaders than and by the time they realized how fooolish they were, it was too late. It consumed them all. The only man against such remained till this day the only man standing which is the asiwaju himself

Edicolove never started the problem, please do not blame the victim. Lay that blame squarely at the feet of ACN who use bigotry as their primary political tool, just like the Nazi's.
What other political party, but ACN would have its leaders describe entire sections of the country as "drunken fishermen" who "come on land to solicite our votes?" Is there any other political party outside ACN that would label those in arms against that id!otic bribery allegations as "ethnic jingoists?"

It is entirely an ACN problem that see's their ethnically jaundiced worldview regularly throwing them into ethnic conflicts. There is no other party in the entire country that gets into these primitive chauvinistic battles.

It is neither a Yoruba problem nor an SW one, but one that should be laid squarely at the feet of ACN. Those who get caught up in such primitive battles because they are Yoruba aught to take a good look in the mirror and ask themselves why they are so easily used. Tinubu is making billions monthly out of their groping blindness.

There has always been love and never enmity between the SW and the SS, but today, the prospect of enmity is very real. We are daily ethnically taunted, insulted and bullied by ACN and its minions. Indeed, a quick check of the worst bigots (even here on NL) reveals them all to be ACN street sweepers; Eko Ile, Gbawe, dayokanu, Baba Eleko, ilugunboy, Akanbi Edu, jason123 (alias alj haram) etc and their various teenage admirers (mostly lost folk in the diaspora). Their bigotry is not a coincidence, as with the Nazi's, it is the primary tactic of ACN. A hate party.

One ID indeed.

Yeah, one only has to criticise ACN to be called a bigot on NL. What other party does that?
ACN is a just a nascent version of the BNP or KKK.
How does anyone get called a bigot for criticising ACN if the party is not desperately striving to be seen through ethnic lenses.

What a pity!

All hail ACN! All hail fascists!

edicolove: These ACN peeps have never had people take them on and have been having a field day till they met the Niger Delta peeps. Now they have more than their match. Acting Criminals of Nigeria, ACN.

Niger-delta is a Oil producing zone

ACN is a political party

Are you Ok at all !!!

BTW what part of Lagos do you say ?

Beaf:

ACN is a political party that desperately wishes to be identified as an ethnic group.
ACN lives and breathes ethnic chauvinism. What other political party has its leader describing a section of the country as "fishermen?"

All hail Nazi's!
All hail fascist's!
All hail ACN!

Dear Sir,

PLEASE STOP THE PROPAGANDA

My attention has been drawn to your recent post here on NL where you attempted to portray you and your people as victims. I wish to put the records straight.

You are not a victim, you are the OPPRESOR!

Nigeria gained her independence Oct 1st, 1960. Since then, we the people of the Niger Delta have been marginalised, ridiculed, scorned and manipulated by your kit and kin. You have used the advantage given to you by the colonial masters and diverted our God given natural resources to develop yourselves. Now, we have come of age and demand equity but alas, you are trying to play a new card. You are trying to play the victim. Let me repeat it again loud and clear for the world to hear, you are the OPPRESOR, not the victim. You occupied choice positions in the military, civil service and multinational companies and from those positions, you enriched your kit and kin.

Our position is simple. We are either equal partners in this anomaly of a union or we want out. We are fully ready to back our demands with action and no matter the attempts to intimidate us, we will not succumb to your blackmail.

Get this message into your thick skull!

Yours

Ed

I am a Khana. The Khana along with their cousins, the Gokana, Tai and Eleme have, since 1947, been grouped as Ogonis, in the Ogoni Division. Today, the Khana and Gokana are in the Bori Local Government Area, the Tai and Eleme are part of something called Otelga, a hybrid Local Government consisting of the Okrika Ijaws, the Ndoki Igbos and the Tai and Eleme. We belong to Rivers State.

[b]The Ogoni number about 500,000, which makes me an extreme minority in a Nigeria of one hundred million people. The first secondary school in Ogoni country was established one hundred years after the first secondary school in Yorubaland, the CMS Grammar School in Lagos (185. These two facts alone, in the first instance, establish my pitiable plight. I am unfortunate to be a Nigerian. I would rather not be, but I am doing my level best to be one, and a good one at that. Being a Nigerian means that my brother Nigerian of the Bura ethnic group in Borno State has been told that I am a "Southerner," equal to the Yoruba or Igbos who are numerous, well-educated and are after the jobs which the "northerner" ought to have. I wander, therefore, through the Federal Civil Service and am lost in the competition between "northern" and "Southern" Nigerians, between the Igbo and the Yoruba, between the various clans and religions of the various peoples of Nigeria, between personal ambition and greed. I am lost. I cannot truly answer the name Nigerian. [, ][/b]

I was a graduate student when the cataclysmic events of 1966 happened. Apart from my revulsion at the needless murders of the innocent, nothing upset me more than Ojukwu's dishonest formulations and his attempt to kidnap the Ogoni, among others, into his Igbo empire called "biafra." I knew that he pinned his hopes of the economic viability of "biafra" on the oil of the Ogoni and the Ijaw. I rebelled. I became Secretary of a small committee which met nights in Port Harcourt and issued a communiqué calling on Gowon to create a Rivers State by decree.

When, by sheer quirk of fortune, this happened in 1967, I abandoned family and caution, crossed the fighting lines and found myself in Lagos. There I became a member of something called the Interim Advisory Council of Rivers State and, subsequently, Administrator for Bonny. I returned to the war front and struck up friendships with gentlemen like Sani Bello who comes from Kontagora, Akinrinade from Ife, Obasanjo from Abeokuta, Yakubu Danjuma from Takum, Dan Ato, now deceased, from Bida. I had reason to hope that my nightmare as an Ogoni in Nigeria was about to end.

With the war ended, and as a Commissioner in Rivers State, I soon found that the Rivers State for which I had fought did not end my nightmare. [b]In the first place, oil money from Ogoni country (as well as Ijaw country) was being carted away to Lagos, leaving the Ogoni illiterate and backward. This is anti-federalism. Worse still, the Ijaws were taking their frustrations out on the non-Ijaws of the State. For the Ijaws alone number more than the eight other ethnic groups in Rivers State put together. Though historically disunited, the Ijaws find unity when it comes to lording it over the non-Ijaws. The Ijaws will want to perpetuate this. Today, there is not even a Commission from my Local Government Area in the Rivers State Cabinet such as it is. My dilemma as an Ogoni is not about to end.

Lost in this dreadful nightmare, I went in 1971 to see Chief Awolowo at the Federal Ministry of Finance. There was nothing I told the sage that he was not aware of. He showed me his writings on the issue and bade me seek the mid-Southern State he had proposed in 1966. Thus was the quest for a Port Harcourt State begun. In 1974. When we started, there was no shortage of opponents. To the Ijaws, I became a traitor. [, ] The creation of this State would alleviate my nightmare and show Nigeria how much it has robbed and neglected the Ijaws of the oil-bearing Delta.

So, what do I really want? I want a place where my children can regain the independence which was the Ogoni patrimony before the advent of colonial rule and before Nigeria's independence consigned them to slavery at the hands of their neighbours. I want the option of CHOICE. And I am not begging for it. I DEMAND it. And I also want that option for Hauwa Madugu, the 21-year old Youth Corper in my office. She is a Jenju from Gongola State. So that we can both be better citizens of Nigeria and end our collective nightmare.

How I wish Awo were still alive! He would have understood. He knew the country well!
