Desola:

One was sitting in an air conditioned office spewing jagbajantis in her ibotic accent while others were scorching in the sun putting their words and beliefs into action.

Akunyili was merely spewing plenty plenty nonsense.

Iykopee:

Whats d difference between akuyili's outburst and the so called mass protest?

Ngwakwe: Who celebrates Okadigbo who died of tear gas inhalation while on National protest.

Let's not forget the irritating Our, Our statements on this board which has become re-occurring decimal that must be approximated if this entity called Nigeria must to be healed / fixed.

tawa89: [s]Lol. If i can remember vividly it was d memo Dora originated that was endorsed by other members of FEC which propelled the NASS to bring up the doctrine of neccessity which was used to make GEJ acting president not some dirty area boys/weed smoking boys protest ish. Some people are so funny trying to reverse history. Dora' role was the most important in making GEJ acting President because she took the initiative when the whole country was confused and directionless. It took great courage to put up a memo asking FEC that included Mike Aoandokaa to endorse GEJ as acting President. That Memo doctored the doctrine of neccessity. Dora's name is entrenched forever in the annals of this country.[/s]

Eko Ile:


Apples and oranges. That was political and inter party squabbles...

Ngwakwe: My statement was in reference to giving credence to placards protest while at it belittling Dora's bold calls

Ngwakwe: Who celebrates Okadigbo who died of tear gas inhalation while on National protest.

Let's not forget the irritating Our, Our statements on this board which has become re-occurring decimal that must be approximated if this entity called Nigeria must to be healed / fixed.

tawa89: Bro, i'm not saying protesting is bad but we mustn't forget the people that took the practical steps 2 save this country from that dilemma. The number 1 actor *actress* was Dora Akunyili . See people like Ben Nwabueze and Wole Soyinka can afford to dance from ojota in Lagos to Eagle's Square in Abuja because they are just private citizens although distinguished in their different fields but Dora had the balls*lol* stand up against the Government she was part of. She risked her life and her career to make sure the right thing was done and some people here want us to believe it was a 20 man march by Wole that made NASS to swear GEJ in as the acting President? Nawa ooo...... The daftness in this place is really nauseating.

DerideGull: Most Nigerians are inherently delusional. MKO Abiola did not win any election on June 12, 1993. I guess only in Nigeria that people assumed a cancelled election is won election. Certain sections of Nigeria will always strive to eat their cake and have it. Is it not funny that one confused fellow wrote that Yoruba had democracy for more 500 years? One wonders whether Oba system of governance in Yoruba land was representative system of government, aka democracy.

Eko Ile:



In the same clime you are talking about, they force their public officials to resign when they lie to the citizenry and betray public trust so her medicine after death nonsense we were subjected to happened because we don't do things like they do in that same clime as in she should have been booted from office a long time ago..

lol @ she made GEJ the president... Sounds like somebody is high on kpayan..

Eko Ile:


Her lies, actions and utterances overshadows are medicine after death actions after seeing the political writings on the wall.


Besides, the fact that out of the millions of people in iboland, all you have is one woman to hold up as a sign of bravery says a lot of sad and painful things about you people and on top of that, you didn't give a damn about the same woman during the last elections when you voted for and elected the ACN senatorial candidate.

After the same June 12, what happened? Didn't you people ran like ileya goats inside ekenedilishuku and mass exodus back to your villages like cowards?




To many times, your actions betray your meaningless utterances.

chino11: [/s][s]

Trash!

Go read up some history of Nigeria that covers Yaradua tenure. You do not what worth arguing with, you talk incoherently most times. Why not stick to tifubu and rogue abiola.

bloggernaija: Because the other parts still do not understand the concepts of democracy which the Yoruba nation have been practising for over 500 yrs in one form or the other.the same reason why the southwest fought against Turai yar adua for turning GEJ into an houseboy in aso rock is the same reason why June 12 will remain a big thing for the southwest .
You just do not mess around with people's mandate .
If the military tries to overthrow the current universally hated government of GEJ or any other .you can always bank on the Yoruba nation to make a stand up against such a move .
There are just do many civically enlightened individual with a cosmopolitan and urban attitude (most people live in towns and cities)in the southwest to keep the vagabond on their toes.
That is why religion or sectional interest play less of a roll than in other parts

tawa89: LMAO. Bro please correct me if i'm wrong i thought the yorubas had/have Obas whose word was law. The Obas had total power and freedom which culminates to the term 'Kabiyesi'. Please as an intelligent folk does that sound like democracy? With my little knowledge of Government, that sounds more like totalitarianism. If i'm not wrong again,democracy started in ancient greece where elderly citizens came together to debate on issues at the council house. I can't even imagine a Yoruba King sitting and debating issues with elders when he is the KABIYESI. The only Nigerian tribe that practiced anything close to democracy pre-colonial period amongst the three major tribes in Nigeria was the Igbos. The village elders sat and debated issues before reaching a compromise that was before the Europeans came and appointed warrant chiefs for them cos they didnt have kings. Doesn't that sound like democracy to you? I hope i have fully convinced you that the stuff u wrote up there is balderdash.

LEADERSHIP: IGBO PEOPLE, NIGERIA, AFRICA AND ZIK


Zik like many African rulers had a major character and integrity problem. At the root was his self-concept or self definition(the way one sees oneself). He saw himself in his own words as a "Beautiful Bride" for the highest bidder as well as indispensable. The former executive president of Nigeria, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, a mild mannered man captured it well when he told Zik during the 1979 election campaign: "when you switch husbands one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times, you are no longer a beautiful bride but a harlot." Zik was a weather vane-go where the favorable wind blows. A "Beautiful Bride" mindset is exactly the opposite of the leadership mindset. In 1954, the Sutton-Foster Inquiry found Zik's conduct below what was expected of an honest and honorable person. He also has Black neocolonial/elitist mentality like many African rulers and political class.

Goat-ile..that was ofcourse typo. You want igbos to fight for your selfish goals. Cowards

Abiola statement that he can do without the igbos cost him the president and his life. He died like a coward in Abacha's detention camp. The only thing you cowards can do is talk-talk-talk without raising a finger. Northerners killed Ige, Abiola, kudirat, funsho williams etc still you cowards are still their subjects till today. What senseless tribe[/s]

econome: I wonder why its only the Yoruba states and its govs. that celebrated MKO and June 12, the winner of the only free and fair election in Nigeria yesterday.

Despite the outcry during celebration each year that June 12 be made the democracy but the FG and NASS keep turning deaf hears

Now, I am noticing the racism in our political system.

Bros, June 12 is another pointer to the ethnic divide in Nigeria.
If MKO was Igbo, the celebrations would had been in the South East.
If MKO was Hausa, the celebrations would had been in the North.

all the so called great Nigerians were no more than regional champions!
Awo was for the West what Zik was for the East and What Bello was for the North.

At the end, you don't really have a true "Nigerian".

Today, there is Tinubu of the South West, Buhari of the core North and Jonathan of the South South.
there can never be a great Nigerian that will be accepted by the North East,North west, North Central, South East, South West and South South.

June 12 is worth celebrating by all Nigerians, but don't be carried away by those who are beating their chest that the South West are the icons of democracy. When OBJ and the Uba's abducted a serving governor, the protests was only in Igboland, had it been in the West, you would had seen the south West on fire.

I started a thread to address issue: read it for more explanations.

dozzybaba:

so did She (Ndigbo) finally marry badangozi and babantiku?.No.. She was right to marry Ebelechukwu...right now ebele has given her an airport, seaport, 2nd niger brigde et al. are still on the table . Something i doubt badangozi, atikueze, emekanubu and chukwubuhari would have done. Politics is a game of interest..in Nigeria no one fights for anyone..she(Ndigbo) lean't it the bitter way. All man for himself. HOOha

Morever, she will always be the beautiful bride and kingmaker..the Igbo voter has never lost an election..go check history. Anybody she(ndigbo) votes for wins. So you are welcome to change your name to Babatundeze fashazie when you cross the Great Niger and try your luck.

Eko Ile:



Very entertaining, but unfortunately, it not only solidifies the ibo any man inside bedroom syndrome, but also the fact that they get used and dumped. This is not only by other people, even by there own people from ZIK to Ojukwu and many Nationa ibo political office holders. How else do you rationalize begging for a common bridge for 30 years when we've had ibo leaders from vice president, ministers, parastatal and agency directors, governors, assembly members and so on..


It's basically tell them what they want to hear even if you have to make u some ibo name to fool them on a sentimental and emotional level, use and dump them afterwards

eggheaders:

hey blockhead, go figure out why zik contested elections in lagos when your kinsmen are still primitive acting out the barbaric scenes of things fall apart. also go figure out why the colonial guys choose lagos out of every other coast cities as their seat of administration.

dozzybaba:

My history tells me you are a War "victor" along with the Northerners and I ask myself..
For how long have you begged for the lagos-ibadan express road..3 days?
for how long have you begged for 4th and 5th mainland bridge?..i guess you started yesterday,
for how long have you begged for MKOs immortalization.
For how long have you begged the Northerners (your comraqdes-in-arms) to stop jailing and killing your leaders.

These should be your most important questions my brother/sister. Solve your own political algebra first then you can teach us how to solve ours. Cheers
