pazienza: And "knowledgeable people" in this context would include you?

Mr. Globe:


nwanne I was about to unload my armor on that nitwit but your question has done the deal. Yoruba people dont know their propaganda machine is now redundant. How can a sane person read this simple article and want us to believe David Mark was not straightforward on the thread title. Dont mind the bunch of touts raised by the very selfish, tribal, wicked and fraudulent awolowo

solomon111: which Nigeria did he gave 'free education'?
Lol.

Mr. Globe:

True talk. A satan once walked this part of the earth in the person of awolowo

Desola:

If he really was satan himself, he would have had your father roasted in the war and saved us from an imbecilic being such as yourself. We would have been saved a huge headache!

Desola:

The only fraudulent and moronic arsehole here is YOU!! Taking someone else's statement and attributing it to David Mark is just pure evil, divisive and wicked! You are a liar, an unadulterated one and very demonic in nature!

I don't care much for David Mark but to lie and say he said something that he didn't? You guys are sinking fast, very fast indeed and you will be buried in your own web of lies. Desperate slow poke!

Foolish OP. Lying on a public forum shows the low level of debauchery to which you've fallen. You should hide ur head in shame....

For the educated illiterates who seem to be mainly from one part of the country these two sentences below are the only things David Mark contributed

“Let’s forget the business of state of origin and go to state of residence. Once you are resident in a place and you perform your civic responsibilities for the period, there is no reason why you should not benefit, provided, of course, you don’t claim dual residency”

The rest of the academically challenged piece was written by a Ochereome Nnanna, I'll leave you to guess which part of the country he comes from.

How do you find journalist trustworthy when they present views that ere one-sided. That is the question ai asked myself reading through this piece by Ochereome Nnanna. This issue was not only about State of Origin or State of Residency. There was a broader agenda - a broader platform over which there was significant and irreconciliable differences. And the subsequent generations have been victims or beneficiaries of those differences - depending of what they view as important to their lives and development. Do I have to enumerate the differences between the achievements of the Great Zik and Obafemi awolowo for their peoples.I guess that if I do, there will be many on this forum who will like to crucify me. I wish they had agreed on many of the items on their individual platforms and manifestoes but that is already forgone.But for Mr Ochereome Nnanna to start insinuating that refuusal of Obafemi Awolowo to agree with Zik was responsible for not having national unity is an overstretch of motives. The issue is that we had better disagree if one group wnats to slow the other down in this age of rapid social and cultural development.

I call this a Zikist agenda, because Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe’s National Council of Nigerian Citizens, NCNC, right from its days under the leadership of Dr Herbert Macaulay, had dreamed of an independent Nigeria where the citizens would “forget their differences” and build a nation where everyone would be proud to belong; a model of patriotic dynamism out of Africa and a toast of the Black world."

Ocherome,
Good, you have written on point, by why label the ultimate political steady state of all civilized nations a mere "Zikist agenda"? Fine, Zik was first to suggested it in the first republic, but he does not own the idea. It is as old as the primitive communal society and the advanced civilizations of Egypt, China & Greece but always stand challenged by usually fractious and malicious class systems favored by any phenomenally corrupt political elite......

ak47mann: Truth is that Pa Awo and his likes fought for their selfish interest,they never had the good of the country at heart.The Do-or die attitude of Nigerian politicians,the rigging of election,political thuggery,election violence, occultism in politics started from Awo's era he championed the Ogboni confraternity. Awo brought the then Iteskiri ruler from his ancestral home(palace) to Warri main town(A land occupied my 3 different ethic groups) to be King(Olu) over the Uhrobo's and Ijaw because the Urhobo's voted for Zik and not him. What kind of greatness or integrity will you ascribe to this man and the so called founding fathers of Nigeria?
