PenSniper:all these people that use English simply because they heard it recently and think it souinds cool.... Oya oga, what is gutter language? It's a language filled with profanity (eg phuck, shiit...) Please, where are the profanities in my statement? If not that I'm feeling nice enough to correct you before you go and embarrass yourself in public by using inappropriate terms, I would have left you to your ignorance. Now tell me thank you and go get yourself a dictionary so you don't repeat this error |

knowledgeable: Now you guys are coming round to understand and appreciate the limitations of our existing structure. That's why people like us will have nothing to do with this present system and just gaze with amazement at the gullibility of the so called middle class or educated class who pursue an utopian dream the elites and real owners of Nigeria know is just to keep them relevant and in power to one end and one end alone, the suppression of ideals and the primitive acquisition of wealth. Sorry. That is why I appreciate this present regime as the best so far. It does not seek to subsidise or hide the inadequacies of the Nigerian state but has exposed the country, its peoples, its institutions and its systems for what they really are, weak and unworkable. This is a first and most important step in addressing the root problems. Unfortunately most Nigerians ae unable to get to the flash-point, the eureka moment when they realise this is not a real country. They still grope about hoping to find water in the desert or a shepherd to lead them to an oasis. For all the wise, educated and exposed people of Nigeria you just wonder, how did it all come to this. |

Everybody keeps shouting corruption corruption without even having the slightest hint to what the meaning of the word is. The Nigerian govt is not corrupt, no govt or institution anywhere in the world is corrupt. Corruption is inbred in humans. Meaning you that is in your house living your daily life and trying to manage then you settle police on the road because you don't want to waste time or you support the driver of a bus to settle police so they don't waste time, or you buy a CD in alaba market for #50, or you go and buy something for someone and purposely keep the change. All these are corruption and the only reason why you are different from those in govt is because you don't have the opportunity to be there yet. You cry for a corruption free govt or country? Start by looking in the mirror. 1 Like |

Dear All, About two years ago, I commented about marginalization, parochial and narrow minded behavior of GEJ government toward the South West people. Later last year, after the house of reps public hearing on Oduah scandal, I did brief analysis on the collective will of two regions in Nigeria to collectively ruin Nigeria through corruption and mis-governance as a way of getting back the wealth of the nation they claimed has eluded them for years. Yet, they need votes from the remaining four regions to win the presidential election. The Navy cannot prosecute any illegal bunkering activities being perpetrated by people from these regions. Later, the bunker will be released and the activity termed legal. They formed a network covering judiciary to pro government activists carrying out pro - government rally. Pro - government rally attacking issues based rally with the support of law enforcement agency. Now, all major activists and labour groups are silent having known the direction of the present government. For the first time in the history of Nigeria, Minister of Petroleum is shielded from any public and parliamentary interrogation. Stella Oduah, having been indicted by the house of reps in public hearing involving the Minister of Finance, Controller General of Customs and relevant agencies was prevented from appearing at the Senate three times. Mrs Bolaji Osomo, the Minister for Housing under Obj was unceremoniously removed from office by Obj for for FG houses sold to PDP members by complaints from some PDP members who lost in the deal, SHE APPEARED TWICE BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE HEADED BY SENATOR IKECHUKWU OBIORA. Senator David Mark was still the senate president at this period. When she was removed, she wept openly for committing no crime. Prof. (Mrs) Adenike Grange, the Minister of Health under Yar'adua was humiliated out office for giving 20 million naira to the health committee of both the Senate and House of Reps. Despite her immense contribution to the health sector locally and internationally, she was humiliated out of office, she wept openly. Now, concerning privatization issue under discussion and an area I am well versed, Bola Onagoruwa, another female from South West was unceremoniously removed by Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as the DG of BPE for being indicted by Senate Committee over the sales of FG shares at Eleme Petrochemical company. As I said in my earlier protest immediately she was removed, she has no power whatsoever to sell or even advise FG on the issue. I said only Mr. Atedo Peterside (a financial expert) and chairman of the technical committee and the VP Namadi Sambo have such power and the level of connections and contacts require for such deal are far beyond Bola Onagoruwa. They only used the opportunity to remove a South West person and replace with person from another region for smooth corrupt operation. The same National Assembly through House of Reps indicted Aruma Otteh, the DG of SEC, but because she is not from South West GEJ retained her but still removed Harold Demurin over indictment by NA over Diana Plane crash. Anybody travelling from South East and South South South to Lagos will observe that good roads stop at Ore (Ondo State) the entry point to South West.Whenever I travelled to the East or South South and I get to Ore on my way back to Lagos, I do cry bitterly internally. GEJ awarded the roads and tied the reconstruction to his second term in office and to loans by infrastructure bank ( Lagos - Ibadan) to be collected back through toll gates. Our (south West) roads are to be constructed when the oil price has fallen and little money available for capital projects. The spirit of South west will not allow Doyin Okupe, Reuben Abati, Musiliu Obanikoro, Mimiko and the rest of them to have peace. Even I may include Yinka Odumakin into the list. |

500GP: First, you should note that it isn't the number of votes, but the percentage of votes against that of the opposition that wins each state. For instance, PDP had 1,190,179 votes from Kaduna which is 46% of the votes from Kaduna but lost the state because CPC had more than that. On the other hand, PDP got only 408,997 votes from Nasarawa, which is 59% of the votes from Nassarawa but won the state because that was higher than any other party recorded. So, you can see that it isn't about the number, but the percentage of voters that voted each party. Bearing that in mind, The South-East Zone with 5 states, recorded an average of 98% votes in favour of Jonathan while a mere 2% voted against him. That means in every 100 people, only 2 people didn't vote for Jonathan from this zone. In the South-South with 6 states, 96% voted in favour of Jonathan, while only 4% voted against him. That means in every 100 people, only 4 people didn't vote for Jonathan from this zone. In the South-West zone, only 58% voted in favour of Jonathan. The remaining 48% voted against him. This means in every 100 people from this zone, 58 people wanted him as president while the remaining 42 didn't vote for him. So, it is quite strange when the South West say they threw their weight behind him fully while the results show otherwise. |

eleojo23: He has said it all, looking at the people out there and the leader they hope to rule and support, more than 90% all have a biased selfish mindset over who they want to be their leaders. It starts with the citizens and not just the president, leaders. So forget that saying that says vote for change.. as I individuals, how many of us are willing to change? How many are willing to drop the corrupt mindset and work with all sincerity? How many. And u feel one man ll just come over night and be a messiah? Nah.... let's us all set aside sentiments n do what's right as individuals first be it GEJ or Buhari. it doesn't stop there. It's u n I that needs to make this country better. |

Dear Patriots, Monday ,22nd of December has been declared Solidarity campaign day for General Mohamodu Buhari / Pastor(Prof) Osinbajo. We humbly ask you to put up their pictures on your BB, Twitter handles,Facebook,whatapp, and all social medias ! We intend to have 50 million of their pictures up. It is possible!!!! PLS BROADCAST Today we have decided to change the fortune of our dear country and purposely create hope for our generations unborn. A number of us may not know about the days we use to export cocoa, the days of groundnut pyramid, the rubber in Old Bendel state, the days farmers/traders leave their goods in public and buyers take what they need and leave the money in the trays , the days $2 exchanged for N1 , the days young graduates were given Beetle, Citroen or Datsun 120Y cars which comes with an automatic job ! This ''animals in human skin'' according to Fela Anikulapo have basterdized our socio-economic lives. This campaign therefore is to re-awaken us that our dear Nigeria has a lot more resources than the collection of the G7 countries of this world (SAD.. isn't it? )BUT our leaders both past and present have squandered and still squandering our collective wealth. Now divinity has created another opportunity to make a change and we concerned patrots have decided to throw our weight and queue behind a man that had been president and has only one house, former PTF chairman without a petrol station, a disciplined Officer that brought sanity to our everyday lives (WAI), a Muslim that freely dines with Christains, a reserved gentleman that loves Nigeria. We are casting our votes for General Muhammed Buhari and his running mate Prof (Pastor) Osinbajo. Please make Monday 22nd December a date. |

DesChyko:I have had that argument before with one DayoKanu that kept making giving the impression that the southwest determined Jonathan's victory. It is so strange to read where these Yoruba folks arrogate to themselves non-existent fictitious political clout to decide who wins an election yet when you check the figure all you see are lies. Besides Lagos where significant votes were recorded for the President and we all know Lagos is cosmopolitan with almost half the population being people from the eastern region, the rest of the SW was just a case of get the needed 25% and nothing more. Jonathan rode on the back of the Eastern bloc and support from MB, the rest was just additional votes that made it clear he was the choice, they did not decide jack...... I am ready to put out the records of they want to make blind arguments. |

mickeyenglish: Young man, permit me to say that you are practically foolish! Who told you that the igbos never had great civilizations and rulers? What happened to the obi of onitsha, king of anioma, arochukwu and Nri? I will agree with you that most parts of igboland do not have paramount rulers but you should understand that it is part of our civilization. It is that same democracy that the igbos practised that the big nations of the world such as usa,britain,france,brazil etc even Nigeria which your so called "yorubas" are in is practising today. how many countries of the world are practising the empire system of govt you are priding yourself in? We igbos hate anything called oppression or colonization by any person or authority, be it an absolute monarch or foreigners. Have you forgotten that the jews was organised like the igbos before demanding for a king from God?, but did that stop them from defending themselves when the enemy attacks?, did that stop them from being powerful? The yoruba empire was one of the african powers indeed, but was unable to stop the heavy death casualties inflicted upon them by the oba of benin. The oba of benin was busy conquering the yoruba towns with ease to an extent that the allafin of oyo was afraid of the expanding benin army. The oba of benin was so powerfu and influential to the extent that he ordered the establishment of the ijebu empire, very funny isnt it? But history has it that it was very hard for the benin empire to conquer the present day agbor whcih was a town of the aniomas, just a single town. The aro anglo-war lasted for over a year, the ekumeku movement(anglo-anioma war) which started at 1883 and ended at 1914 lasted over 31years but the anglo-ijebu war did not even last up to 1year. Even the benin empire was conquered in less than a month! This only shows you how powerful the igbos was even without powerful monarchs and empires which you are priding on. Did history ever tell you that any eastern minority with their mornarchs defeated even a single village in igboland? So young man, the fact that we igbos where not organised in empires do not undermine our military strength. It was our ability to wage war with the advanced britishs for upto 31yrs that encouraged the mau mau of kenya to start his rebellion with the british. History has it that the igbo gave the british the fiercest resistance in africa which led to the death of many british high ranking officers. So in conclusion, the reason why igbos didnt build empires was due to our love for equality,freedom and resistance to any form of colonialism and not on our inability to do so. I DID NOT RESULT TO INSULTS AS YOU DID IS BECAUSE I SEE IT AS A CHILDISH CHARACTER AND I AM NOT AN ETHNIC BIGOT LIKE YOU. And mind you, we first tasted the office of the presidency before you. and you still under the rulership of our neighbouring minority. So stop ranting! 1 Like |
