You encourage your neighbour to beat his child while you protect yours from reprimand?


These ones are not elders.

ogazi007:
The Government need to be more decisive and tackle the politically motivated agitation/crises head-on.

Ohanaeze and Afenifere have lost relevance because they are partisan.How do you want to be taken seriously by this Government when they know you did not only campaigned for PDP in 2015 but also part of the groups that took huge sums of money from Gej and failed to returned him as the president.

At least Arewa youths have withdrew the quit notice,while Kanu on the other hand keeps preaching hates and inciting violence.Threatening to crumble a sovereign nation,kill people and sounding like a broken record.This can only happen in Nigeria.

can't you see any lagoon around you?

For once in Nigeria, Ohaneze ndi spoke well in that their speech. We all should rule Nigeria together, No tribe should see themselves are the sole landlord.
The South South are getting to their senses while my brothers in the West are still being afraid as usual.
It is high time the South get together are challenge this people, but I doubt if that will ever happen.

NaijaMutant:
You defended Boko Haram by saying any attack on Boko Haram is an attack against the north.

You defended Fulani herdsmen terrorists without condemning their actions.

You also defended your Arewa youths with their ultimatum.

But you want us to ostracize our son who has not harmed a single soul, whose only crime was Agitating for the betterment of his people of which we shall be beneficiaries.

NEVER !!!

If these different splinter agitating groups can make life unbearable for their governors by demanding good governance and efficient service delivery, the Niger would have since been the region to beat.

If the agitators are sincere, they should have truly known that an average Hausa/Yoruba man isn't their problems but the likes of Ibori, Igbinedion, Uduaghan, GEJ and wife among many others who robbed them blind.

ruggedised:
this country don tire me, funny enough when the wahala set, our political looters will relocate their families abroad while we who are still struggling will be left to fight for them. When the war is over, they will come back like kings and Queen and we the slave fighters are left to start all over again
may God punish my ancestors for bringing me to this country

At the end, justice shall prevail.

The slain heroes of Biafra shall have their justice.

Buhari must pay for his actions

Buratai must pay for his actions.

May the blood of the slain harmless protesters be upon any one that supports this wicked genocide and opposes justice for the slain heroes of Biafra.

DocHMD:
Mr Ewedu-Abooki hybrid, like Kanu's lawyer rightfully said, the main essence of Bail is to ENSURE THE DEFENDANT DOES NOT RUN AWAY FROM THE COURT not trample on his fundamental right to associate and express himself. Heck, he was not even declared wanted before he came down here from London.

Now a sensible court will ask- Has the bail failed to ensure Kanu is around to face the charges levelled against him? No

Who is running away from the court and using delay tactics? The Fulani-run FG.

Has the Bail achieved it fundamental and primary aim of keeping Kanu within the reach of the court? Yes!

The court will also ask- Is there any need to arrest someone who is ready to come to court 10 times a day if you ask him to? No!

Now you see you pro-abooki illiterates and your presidiot got it all wrong when you thought you were dealing cretins such as you lots in this matter.

IPOB will keep making you lots look like real 'dogs and baboons' as your presidiot described you before you rigged him into power with child voters in the north.

hammerT:
U release Boko Haram Commanders, u cannot arrest Arewa Youth for ordering genocide against Igbos.

U cannot arrest Libyan HausaFulani Herdsmen.

Yet u want Court to go and arrest a person the same court have declared not guilty.

Lajet:
So the video we all saw on online when Arewa youth gave the Quit notice is fake is that what the Federal Government is trying to tell us. And if Arewa youth was quoted out of context so why are they withdrawing the Quit notice. This is the kind of one Nigeria some pigs are forcing us to be part of. We have first class and second class citizen in Nigeria

kettykin:
The United Nation should as a matter of urgency stop barking and start biting, if it means rolling out united nations military troops to guarantee the safety andbpeace of ipob and their leader then so be it. Why must Igbo's keep suffering genocidal killing in the North

Splashme:
Is Buhari brainless?

Self determination is in the United Nations charter and Nigeria is a signatory

rearresting Kanu would be the last straw that would break the Camel's back in this fragile and tension filled country.

Biafra is for the future of our Children, I wouldn't like them to see the Nigeria we're seeing today

RareDiamond:
Nigeria federal government under Buhari is a biased, m0ronic, unintelligent, confused, draconian, evil and tyrannic government.

God Bless the Land of the Rising Sun. GO TO HELL AREWA YOUTH

nwaanambra1:
in as much i don't support kanu and his ways of agitation - the fact still remains that the buhari led federal government is beginning to openly insult us igbos!

let it be know that so long as the arewa youths are still walking free after their treasonable and genocidal threat on the Igbos, any attempt to arrest Nnamdi Kanu will be seen as an act of war on the Igbos and it will surely push majority of us that are against Kanu to be his full supporters!

The Federal government should understand that this is no 1967 - this time the war will surely touch every part of Nigeria - even if u r in sambisa!

THE NORTH SEEMS NOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE IGBOS CANNOT AND WILL NEVER BE AFRAID OF THEM NOR ASSLICK THEM.


THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD TREAD WITH CAUTION. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

omenkaLives:
Good evening all.

It is no longer news that ex President Goodluck Jonathan indirectly took a swipe at the current administration in response to her plans to clamp down on inflammatory and hate speeches that seem to have become the norm on our social media space. His comments suggested that during his regime Nigerians enjoyed freedoms only comparable to those obtainable in the most advanced countries, especially in the West.

Especially, his fans and supporters had a field day doing what they do best, trying to turn history in its head, just like Jonathan himself, in total disregard for truth and recorded history!

Their conduct was appalling and shocking to say the least.

For some of us, there can be nothing more scandalous than this for we know and will not, in the blink of an eye, forget how oppressive and repressive that regime was. The only credit those of us old and shrewd enough to recollect the past can give to Jonathan as regards respect for democratic freedoms and principles is his concession of defeat in a contest in which he was beaten roundly and squarely.

Let no one be deceived, his acceptance of defeat was as much a favour to Nigeria as it was to himself. He sure knew what might have been had he done otherwise.

Now, let us take a trip down memory lane and peel some skin off "FREEROM ICON" Jonathan, and see just how deserving of the title and accolades he truly is:

Come with me:

1. Governors Forum Crises (2013): A lot of political pundits insist this marked the beginning of Jonathan downfall, forget his crass incompetence.

In a simple election involving 35 participants and two contestants, Jonathan's interference saw to it that this more or less political pressure group was fractured beyond redemption resulting in the formation of the PDP Governors Forum chaired by his stooge Godswill Akpabio and another faction of the forum chaired by his preferred candidate who lost in the contest, Jonah Jang.

The election whose video went rival at that time due to its outcome saw Amaechi pulling 19 votes while Jonah Jang pulled 16. Democrat Jonathan insisted Jang won the election and recognised him as the Chairman of the forum giving rise to the much publicised PDP arithmetics where 16 is greater than 19.

This set the precedence for the scenarios that played out in Rivers and Ekiti Houses of Assembly while our "Hero" stood idly by, giving a tacit nod to the obvious anomalies as state police were used to suppress the opposition.

2. APC National Leader Harassed by the Military: During the heat of the campaigns, keeping faith with their doctrine of hounding and intimidating opposition figures, Bola Tinubu had his house placed under surveillance by the military when he wasn't indicted for any federal offence. The national leader responded to this in a manner that set social media on fire, placing a banner in front of his house that seemingly pointed the military where they should be looking- Sambisa.

leadership.ng/news/411334/military-places-tinubu-surveillance

3. Journalists Harassed and Newspapers Confiscated: This was one of the greatest assaults on freedom of speech we witnessed under Jonathan. It was a crackdown reminiscent of the dark days of the Khaki Boys.

Hundreds of papers with publications critical of the government's handling of national issues were confiscated and destroyed. Same guys who supported the actions of the government then screamed blue murder when reports circulated the press that Buhari had barred AIT from covering his activities.

www.punchng.com/news/military-sss-seize-destroy-major-nigerian-newspapers/

4. APC Office Raided: This was another very dark
day in our democratic experience and marked an upsurge in the use of state security agents to harass and gag the opposition. Under the guise of carrying out an investigation, offices of the opposition were raided with computers and other instruments confiscated and destroyed. It was one of the lowest points of the DSS and somewhat signalled its complete evolution into an arm of the PDP.

The DSS at a press conference displayed items "discovered" at the office during the raid and they were computers, hard drives and other electronic accessories- hell it was a data centre!! Were they expecting to find chopsticks and stoves

dailyindependentnig.com/2014/11/apc-office-raid-dss-releases-list-recovered-items/

5. Buhari's Plane Barred from Landing: Another shameful incident where a plane conveying opposition bigwigs (then), including her flag bearer, on a campaign trail was refused landing rights in Makurdi and they had to return to Abuja. My question is, what if there wasn't sufficient fuel to take them back to Abuja as they made the u-turn mid-air?? Your guess is as good as mine.

6. Protesters and Senator Shot in Rivers: Another gut wrenching incident that demonstrated the partisan nature of our security apparatus under ex president Jonathan. In a continuation of the government's crackdown on the opposition, citizens who were on a peaceful protest in Rivers state were shot at with live and rubber bullets and a Senator was hit twice in the chest. Thankfully, he
survived and a serious crises was averted.

7. APC Women Protesters Teargassed: This was another horrid incident that demonstrated the ex president's disdain for opposition and civil liberties.

www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/police-fire-tear-gas-at-apc-women-protesters-in-rivers/

8. Jonathan Orders Withdrawal of Speaker's Security Detail: Arguably the most vicious assault on our democracy by the ex president. This much publicised incident that needs no introduction earned the ex president (and deservedly so) local and international disrepute and condemnation. People had started to see him as the worst civilian dictator in the country's history. If you ask me, this incident drove the last nail into the coffin of Jonathan's 2015 ambition.

9. Soldiers shoot to disperse protesters in Ojota, Lagos as secret police raids CNN's office: Here's another account of Jonathan's "tollerance" for freedom and human rights. We can all remember that administration's response to Occupy Nigeria protests except of course we want to be deliberately forgetful.

These are but a few events the Mr Freedom subjected Nigerians to. Indeed it would be a herculean task convincing people of sound minds as to the propriety of referring to Mr Jonathan as a protector and promoter of freedoms in this country.

Thanks for reading.

SpecialAdviser:
Nonsense. Wake me up when a non-politician who have not benefitted from the present scam status quo says restructuring or distegration is not the way forward.

Anayordike:
I have never insulted anyone here and hate to do so. But this old punk of Paul unoongo is a parasite of hopelessness to his people.
It is an insult for him to open his mouth to say that borno state is bigger than the whole of South East. How dare you pual? And he went on to add Adamawa. Who told you that Adamawa is bigger than the whole South East? Old men are known by the wisdom they display. But not this pual. Poor northern parasite.

When has it become a crime for some people to ask for their rights of existence? I am not an IPOB member nor Nnamdi Kanu's spoke person. But let the truth be said. People like pual unoongo have been misrepresenting Nnamdi Kanu and IPod peaceful agitation. There has never been a time when IPOB OR KANU called for war the Nigeria state. Posterity will judge everyone of us.

A wise government will give ear to their demands and see how things will settled amicably. And some people are some where vomiting trash like this pual.

IPOB AND KANU said they want REFERENDUM in the South East. Which I think is their right. I think what the government should do is to conduct the referendum and see for themselves how many Eastern ears that want exit from Nigeria. Simple as that. Unless if there's something else they want from the Igbo nation.
Before the amalgamation of different ethnic nationalities into Nigeria, the Igbo nation as well as Yoruba, Hausa etc have been living and governing themselves. So if Igbo or any other group wants to exist from Nigeria so be it. There is no reason whatsoever to keep a friend who is no longer interested in your company.

Nigerians are selfish people that is why they are berated of truth. Denial of truth is not the end of it.

If Igbo and others are still talking about about Biafra after 50 years, then there is more to it. I required sober reflection and heart searching. Has the Nigerian state being fair to the Igbo? Have they not marginalised the Igbo for more than 50 year?

STOP RELATING EVERY MENTION OF BIAFRA TO WAR.
IF YORUBAS ARE PROUD TO BE CALLED ỌMỌ ODÙDUWÀ.
IF HAUSA ARE PROUD TO BE CALLED ARẸWÀ.

THEN NDỊ IGBO SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE CALLED BIAFRANS.

They won't allow him because they want to remain parasite feeding fat on the South till eternity.

The Biafran movement is highly formidable. This is no joke, the money they have outside Nigeria is unimaginable.

IPOB is moblising to rebiuld Enugu Onitsha express way which FG has abondoned for decades. Tell me why They will not get followership.

Last week in Abia state, they went on free medical test and drug administration.

Nnamdi Kanus stategy is what is making him more popular everyday

venai:
PEACEFUL AGITATORS! That is the right phrase to describe IPOB. It is only northerners and their western ass lickers that are calling for war.

Obviously another route for terrorist to freely infilterate this shit country.Nigerians should just again behold what manner of president they have.Government of the north,by the north and for the north.There is the constant overt biased mind to perpectuate injustice by these morons.This country must divided.As for Amaechi,when the chips are down,remember home remains home.Meanwhile,all sophiscated SW brethren and zombies in the house what say ya?

Some of those who say Buhari is not corrupt reveal an underlying philosophy

"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression" (unknown)


Reminds one of a former FCT Minister now governor who sees nothing wrong with allocating 8 plots in the FCT to members of his family.
