Lol I rather be in a country with safety nets than one without.

then remain in the safety net country and leave nigeria alone. you have proven you have no clue anyways so what's the point?


Not everyone lives in the projects and on public assistance, but your concern about those things sounds like a cry for help? Does western union wire food stamps? Maybe you can barter them for your weekly ration of garri?cheesy

i am fully aware not everyone lives on public welfare but i am 110% sure you do. you have added nothing meaningful to this discussion asides hollow sound-bites!


Did I say it adds anything or detracts? But thanks for letting us know you are still bitter the consulate denied your visacheesy

they did deny me & i am sad!
i have another interview next week, the 77th one if i may add, to get out of nigeria. however, it still doesn't alter the fact that you function on a single digit IQ!

Garri the 1st:

The War gets all the blame...


SMH

I didn't even see this one before I commented. I just left a thread where a aptly named forumite "one naira" was arguing that it was the civil war that allowed 9 of 21 richest people of yoruba origin to be there as against the multitude of business genuises from the east coast.

Sorry for the deviation, but the thinking process of the easterners just got clearer to me right about now; "if in doubt blame the civil war" cheesy

achi4u: The day we supported Obj(a yorubaman)instead of our own Alex Ekwueme(if that is TRUE) is the day our political land sliding started and such an opportunity will only occur again after Gej second tenure in office.
Op the way you painted igbos one may think we're that weak and cannot define our future,smh you are right at the other hand ur'nt because are a force to be reckon with despite our lapses.

@mekaboy nawa for you o! lol we're not the only money bag in this country....yes we need that cash.grin

Bro there have been arguments that OBJ was actually fathered by an igbo man. Also, ijebu igbo (close to owu enough) is also a lost city of alaigbo, no harm in voting him.

I didn't make any of these up, if you search nairaland you'll see posts containing these info. grin

The onus of the igbo debacle in Nigeria is; Igbo do things unilaterally without carrying others along ..........No concrete Alliance nor Negotiations .......

..........Take a look @ APC which is the first real political party in 4th republic other than Retired Generals and Commander-In-Chiefs created PDP nor other regional based parties .................Igbo were laughing saying Yoruba were licking Aboki's ass ....... Who can get power without Aboki ........and can Aboki get power without Yoruba .......therefore as far as Nigeria is concern we need one another to be relevant in real terms !!!


They say it is difficult to empower an Igboman with trust........he will carry only himself along and damn the others......... (Individualistic Approach) !!!


An Ijaw even have trust issues with them ..........it would be amazing if Ijaw return dis Goodwill to Igbo .......

I think Ijawman is tired of being used to clinch power .........
..........and Ijaw/ND has supported one Nigeria and Resource Control which is understandable ..............

Igbo should change this trust issues and not seen as persons whom when grabbed political powers would used it to terrorise the whole Nation !!!


I think the Political Orientation of Igboman which is unique in Africa(in that Igbo society lacks consensus Leader) ......Overambitious;self acclaimed superiority; oversmartness ;empty chest beating;arrogance and looking down on superior others as Inferior and powerless is the bane of Igbo political development !!!

donroxy: ahahahahaa .....this is the image maker of Jonathan ...... I believe he has said what is possible in the corridor of power !!!


He speculate GEJ would ride on Igbo in 2015 to clinch 2019 ........ Dump power for Northerners then Igbo would have to start licking Northerners to grap power in 2027 ahahaha and If northerners do not play it that way .....



This sincereNigeria is an eye openner thus he posited Igbo love Jonathan Unconditionally grin


Jehovah,May God Helep those who help themselves grin !!!
I'm a realist and my analysis are based on realistic calculations. I have stated the following on this platform:
- Igbos support for GEJ now and in 2015 is the RIGHT political decision.
- It is politically impossible for GEJ to hand over power to Igbos come 2019.
- Fashola's political career will reach a DEAD END in 2015
- APC will field someone from the north (far north) as its presidential candidate in 2015. Southwest will take the VP slot. Nothing for Igbos.
- GEJ will win both the PDP primary and general elections in 2015
- Igbos will, by unanimity, take the PDP VP slot in 2019. If the constitution is amended to give room for 6yrs single term, Igbos SHALL rule Nigeria in 2025. Otherwise, Igbos SHALL rule Nigeria in 2027
- If the APC wins in 2015 (but they cannot), Igbos MAY rule Nigeria in 2023 if the constitution remains the same.
- Buhari will NEVER rule Nigeria again

These are realistic expectations, provided Nigeria does not disintegrate (which is near impossible). God willing and keeping us alive, we shall see.

Meanwhile, I'm not really bothered about these speculations and calculations now. My concern now is in the Second Niger Bridge, better roads, better health care, fast trains, jobs and more jobs, stable power, sustenance of democracy, etc. These ESSENTIALS will be made possible by deliberate govt policies and programmes, not by the colour or language of the person in Aso Rock.

Afam, what makes you think that GEJ wants to pass th baton to a southeast president? It's not HIS baton. The people decide who they want in power, after all.


The Southeast has not presented a well-groomed and able presidential campaign. And if GEJ is the one choosing a presidential candidate to succeed him, that's even more telling of the PC's character.


Well groomed you say? Pls tell us how Jonathan was well groomed.

2, We love money,

3, We r selfish, and out for our selfish interest.

4, Money is a measure for maturity.

You have said the truth but only a few Igbos will agree with you.

Jonathan has not FULFILLED any of the promises he made to Igbos ,yet they want to vote for him again.It is called the Nigger Syndrome,the inability to do what is best for one's self.

Afam4eva:
The Igbo model is the best model but in the Nigerian reality, it's not. We have to device a means to come together not necessarily by choosing a leader because no one will show him any atom of respect. We're egalitarian and republican in nature.

[size=15pt]How is the igbo model the best model? You guys can't even choose credible leaders to lead your states but you want to produce a President.The Yoruba leaders so far are the most progressive in Nigeria.The The whole of Eastern/Southern Nigeria receives more federal allocation that western Nigeria which has more population,yet western Nigeria has better infrastructure and VISIBLE development than eastern Nigeria.The only true test of our politics will come when we split Nigeria into 4 different countries.I know it will happen in a matter of years and i can't just wait because i know we Yorubas are a progressive tribe.[/size]

[size=15pt][b]Any smart Igbo man whose IQ is above 110 should ask himself this question:

What has JONATHAN done for IGBOLAND?

Please look deep into you heart and name one achievement of Jonathan's in IGBOLAND.If you can not name just one verifiable achievement then you know that you are a "mugu" for voting for Jonathan.

If you re-elect Jonathan in 2015 be rest assured that Sambo will be President in 2019.Your best bet now is for Igbos to align with APC and produce an Igbo candidate for President or Vice President.The easiest way for Igbo to get a President right now is to agree to a Hausa President and Igbo Vice President candidate via the APC.This will knock out Jonathan and his deputy while securing Igbo President for the near future.

Do you think sambo will just step aside and allow an igbo man to take his place,lol think again.This is politics! Rally behind APC now and convince them to at least select an Igbo vice president candidate,you will see that they will win and kick Jonathan of Aso rock.

The road to Aso rock for any aspiring Igbo is by building alliances with other major ethnic groups in Nigeria.
You cannot do it by blackmail or with one foot in Biafra and the other in Nigeria.
GEJ does not have the power to unilaterally hand over to anyone.

Abagworo: Why did Obasanjo take Jonathan over Odili and Nnamani? As at 2007, it was almost like the Vice must be from South-South and when Odili was chosen, there were protests from South-south with regards to Odili's ethnicity. Odili is from Ndoni which is in Rivers but speaks Igbo. Instead of Ohaneze to fight for Odili, they remained mute. Today Amaechi who is also Igbo speaking and from South-South has little problems with Orubebe and the entire Ijaws are threatening him. Instead of Igbos to warn against anything happening to Amaechi, they joined in condemning him publicly. However Rochas is an exception. Today Rochas is a hopeful for VP or President in 2015 or 2019 and Igbos are fighting him. They did same to Orji Kalu until they rendered him politically irrelevant.

Calm down first.
The problem is not Rochas, d problem is Buhari who he might run with. Buhari cannot win elections in igboland even if he contests with Angel Gabriel. But, if Rochas emerges as APC final pres candidate, igbos wl vote him. But till den......

Amaechi isnt coming out as president but as VP to a northener( those who have sworn dat presidency must not go to d south again or else). What insolence......

This guy thinks Igbos will be better off aligning with the unregistered APC. Joke of the century.

By the way, are you not aware that the presidential and VP slot of the unregistered APC have been zoned to the north and southwest respectively?

Let me even descend to the arena of ethnic sentiments, which most of you have been displaying on this forum. Under GEJ, the minister of finance, who is in charge of the federal purse and coordinator of the economy ('prime minister'), is Igbo. The Chief of Army Staff, the number one defender of the nation, is Igbo. The minister of aviation, power, health, etc are all Igbos. These are very powerful portfolios. To cap it all, the secretary to govt of the federation is Igbo. From all indications, GEJ is the head but Igbos are running the show. So if we go the SENTIMENTS line, Igbos are running the show and are better off with GEJ.

But like I said earlier, these are not the important things. The important things as far as I'm concerned are good roads, fast trains, stable power, job creation, better education, health, etc.
