So in 2011 jona was not a kafir,when 16 was greater than 19 its ok.until When PEJ was calling the northerners born troway its ok.What happened to GEJ till 2019 GOD bless Nigeria Slogan u were shouting b4 march 28? #Hypocrites


God bless Nigeria. But that can only happen if the people if Nigeria bless Nigeria first. It is people that make up a nation and not the other way round. You cannot deny that the issues raised here have been raised before even GEJ ventured into politics.

GEJ tried to restructure the system by convoking a National Conference and thus earned some trust amongst true progressives. Even the few remaining Awoists from the west hailed it as a step forward, but this miffed the Fascists and their vassals. And the rest is history.

The Nigeria project is NOT viable. The current structure is skewed and already failing. Even starting from the constitution that is full of anomalies and contradictions.
For how long shall we keep revolving in circles rather than making true progress?

Even Awo himself, that epitome of wisdom once summarized Nigeria as a mere geographical expression. And for nearly 30 years after his passing we are still biting our tails and heaping injustice upon injustice. From those who kill their countrymen because a Danish newspaper published a religiously sensitive cartoon to a sitting President carrying out genocide in Odi and Zaki-Biam, to an elder statesman threatening to make Nigeria ungovernable because he did not win an election.

We keep running around in circles and biting our tails in thoughtless temerity.

Yes o

GEJ called the northerners 'brother' too but they threw it back to his face. Despite all the projects he cited in their place. Despite the schools he built for them at the expense of 2nd Niger bridge n the likes, we still stood by him.
Funny enough, if the election is repeated today, we'll still vote for him with no apology to anyone.

Heard this so many times and it's getting stale and extremely boring.

When you place your bet on or singularly or collectively vote for any losing candidate, it means you lost your bet, it means your candidate did not win and you are basically a loser just like the candidate you placed your bet on...

You can play dumb and reetarded with the meaning of the word LOST, but the rest of the world know the meaning. You are a loser...

Life is not a game. You reap what you sow..
Me lose? How? Did any candidate pay or promise me anything? Am I unemployed? Am I supporting the "winner" because he promised unemployed people free salary? Is any candidate or politician gonna sit there forever?
BTW
Need I remind you that a certain femi Gbajabiamila is about to see all he ever worked for in the HOR swept away from him. He now needs the people who lost more than ever.

Not every "VICTORY" is a good thing
and
Not every "LOSS" is a bad thing
Chew on that.

He promised Igbos Niger Bridge, he didn't fufil.

He couldn't fix the single most important road in ND (east-west road). Even the Niger Deltans that voted for him are utter Fukwads!!

Who the eaker of the house of assembly is or not is irrelevant and has nothin to do with you placing your bet and votes on a losing candidate and you losing your bet on that loser candidate. Speakership is a party affair and who they pick or did not pic is irrelevant, thats simply theirs businesses. Fact remains that they won the elections and your party lost.


You are unemployed as a Nigerian, but still voted for the same man who not only did nothing t o help your employment situation, but who also scammed and killed young unemployed job seekers and to even make matters worse, your callous, irresponsible and uncaring president refused to demand accountability.

This is one of the many reasons why Nigerians kicked him out of office, not the bogus and irrelevant rubbish you people are peddling all over the place.


When things are going good when GEJ was playing his crooked, bigoted and divisive game, you people loved it, you screamed and yelled GEJ till 2019, you yelled One Nigeria and God bless Nigeria, but after losing, all of a sudden it's give us our biafra, Nigeria is a contraption just because you lost and can not deal with your loss.

Its ridiculous to even suggest that GEJ tried to restructure the system with the national conference jamboree. How do you honestly restructure what you constantly abuse and destroy economically with wholesale corruption,lawlessness, official impunity, incompetence, bigoted and divisive utterances.?

You got to be kidding me.

Please deal with your sad loss and learn from it...


Btw. Jonathan losing is a Good Thing for Nigeria and humanity.

Asaba doesn't belong to the Igbos.. Go read your history well.. Na refuge area for Biafrans.. Please tell me the History of Asaba as an established Igbo town before the 60s.

If you can, I'll apologize and change my position. If you can't, all things remains as it is. The single reason there will never be Anioma state is because of the fact that majority of what you guys want to claim as Anioma doesn't belong to Igbos simple..

jonathan was not sncere with his national conference,he wanted to use d resolutions as a bargaining tools for his re-election.If he was sincere he should have convoked it at least 3yrs to the elections so that he can implement the outcome.

Boss, those words are just too much for a learner like me. Anyway, it's appreciated.

Though we haven't met physically, based on your comments, arguments and threads here, I can go on and write some few pages about you and your paradigm.

More than anything else, you've always come to my aid whenever it appeared I'm about to be subdued in arguments by the Broom waving hypocrites. Just when I thought I was boxed into a corner, you gallantly appeared and presented facts and figures only the idiots can gainsay. To this, I'm deeply grateful and honoured. Of all traits of friendship, nothing is as great as being there. Reliability is more important than money, intelligence and promises; you can be relied on.

Our nation is blessed because of you. And it's my deepest desire and prayer that God shall continue to embolden and strengthen you as you oppose the hypocrites and the liars.

Let me stop here. The temptation to continue must be resisted. Shalom!
