I think you are insanely jealous of this family. You keep opening threads about them.

Lagosboy:
He cannot win the presidency under ACN as it currently stands.

Says who? You? Watch.

OP

Nothing wrong with your post, i think it is careless for parents to have their children running around naked in a communal space. I also think the kind of parents those children have is quite unfortunate. I advise you speak to your landlord to tell the couple to restrict their children's nudity and menace to their house. After all you are paying your own rent too. You should not be subjected to such.

President Babatunde Raji Fashola. SAN

The boys scout uniform is hilarious. But yes, i support this. He will win it, def.

Abagworo:
What I don't like about some contributors is that their strategy is aimed at polarizing the country.They are interested in the President's ethnic group and not his performance.

Bombs went off in Maiduguri and everyone killed were Northerners.From the logic being presented by some posts here,if 2 or 3 southerners were somehow caught in the bombings,they would have termed it attack on the Igbos.

The whole issue is the fault of PDP and our ruling class who rather than presenting us with reasons to vote Jonathan were employing such terms as "they've ruled for 38 years","Buhari is an extremist","Jonathan is Igbo".

That was the reason for polarization of the election.Buhari's campaign was purely based on his record as a disciplinarian,honest man and change.They never for once mentioned North/South,Rotation or Religion.

The consequences of polarization coupled with rigging is that an illegitimate government has been produced and therefore will not be in control of the country.Every little misunderstanding will always be viewed from a tribal angle.

Shame on Nigerians for falling to this bait.

You are a very smart man that does not mix the truth with tribal sentiment. It shows all Igbo's do not have this complex of tribal envy which comes across as  an inferiority complex. if someone has a differing view from them the person is termed a sellout. Stand on what you believe in, you make more sense than all your brother's trying to bully you. I hope in future you are able to help your people see things in a less selfish stand point, and look for the best interest of the country as a whole. You, Chinyere and Eziachi are the posters that make sense on this forum. Kudo's

Eko Ile:
*The SE (Igbo) Should Be Commended For Supporting GEJ*

Sounds more like *The SE (Igbo) Should Be Slapped Mercilessly For Supporting GEJ*

And it's a given that they are not even going to get speaker sef,




I dey laff out of control o, lmao





Sucks to be ibo for real

Why the insult na. Igbo's did not say anything on this thread. It is best you dont fall to the level of the Igbo's on Nairaland that do these things, because they have mental problems. Who ever wins the Senate presidency this time around may deserve it. It will also not be so easy for the person because the house now has other party members in it. So it is not an enviable position to be in. . We need someone that can do the job well.

Smart Adeyemi of PDP should get it under normal and uncorrupt circumstances. He seems like a very decent guy, i wonder what he is still doing in PDP. . His people came out and voted for him massively in Kogi. He seems to be the only PDP guy with a conscience.

You must feel very exclusive and special. lol. Open a poll asking if Yoruba's want to be a part of your "south". I know you are shouting here because you dont want two master's in your South. You will like to colonize all the small SS people, who will run away from Yoruba or Igbo any way. So, they feel the same way about you.

Arosa:
Guys look at this Kings(Oba of Lagos Obi of Onitsha Oba of Benin) what do they all have in common.

This only proves that they all have Yoruba influences. Oba, and Obi are both Yoruba words. See you see wahala now? The bini Oba of recent has been desperately trying to change history. For all we know, Yoruba's have been wearing beads for centuries, so the beads are not exclusive to Bini. There might actually be more Yoruba influence on Bini culture. The fact that you see a staff doesnt mean there is any influence. Fashion of the times can cause many changes. A certain Yoruba king or bini king may have liked that staff. This influence may have come from either tribe. Oba of bini needs to stop his charade. It only works with Bini people. Yoruba's have something called "oriki", and it is memorized from generation to generation telling us of our history.It is an extremely accurate account of each family's history and sub sect history as well. One bini "Oba" cannot come and tell us hwo we are, in his desire to live in the past and hopes to expand his kingdom. He needs to focus on getting Bini city in a better place and promoting tourism for his people.

komando77:
@ 2much
There, you have it: straight from the mouth of the Oba of Benin. These are excerpts from a lecture he gave in the University of Ibadan, in 1984. You prolly were not born then. So read, and expand your pea sized brain.

The Oba of benin should first explain why his title has "Oba" in it, before he tries to rewrite history and tell us our history. Yoruba history is not them say them say. We have accurate accounts of our history passed doown from generation to generation, which is not only restricted to the knowledge of kings or Oba's. Like the bini people who rely on one Oba to tell them who they are. A commoner Yoruba knows his history much more than a bini. Yoruba's were there before benin people came. It is just like saying the British came before Igbo's in Igboland. I dont need to read the crap from the Oba of benin about my history. Akpoloko ko, akpalako ni.

it is ile oko, bastardized as eko. Lagos was never a camp. Stop being revisionists. Unfortunately for you, Yoruba's preserve their history in poems and can give accurate facts. Passed down from generation to generation. No one can come and tell us who we are. Certainly not you.

Eko is coined from Ile oko, meaning farm in Yoruba. What about benin people that call their ruler's Oba. Does that mean Yoruba's are bini? Because Oba is a Yoruba word. There are a lot of borrowed words here and there. Just like how everyone in Nigeria now says jo or jare. Doesnt mean it is no longer a Yoruba word or Yoruba's are everyone's progenitor. Eko ( Ile oko). It was a farming and fishing community. Your arguments are baseless.

I wonder why people keep coming up with this nonsense. How can Lagos be a benin place? Very ridiculous. From your logic,  Africa must be british and you are a non indigene as a result. Please stop displaying your stupidity. slowpoke.

Baba e si ma te. This is just a preview. By tomorrow Baba will be an outcast totally, and will finally te. Unborn children will hear your name and shake their head. Baba has rubbished himself and his legacy by rubbing shoulders with people to destroy his own people's future. A se se bere

I supported d idea:Nigeria shud be splitted let us have our peace.

Into 6 countries. No southern Nigeria. After all we have a fair share of the people causing problems in the country today in the South. It would be another 38 years of fighting and further splitting. So 6 countries it is.

God sent GEJ, governor and government censoring the media. I thought this was the main problems or "fears" people had with Buhari. This is a fore taste of what is to come.

step1:
Any yoruba living in lagos does not need to know where he originally came from. My father is a lagos . He is a brazilian Awori originally but with some ijaw blood and my mother is an offa/egba woman from Kwara. If my mother claims she is a lagosian, that is within her rights to do so. I have cousins who are Ebga people from Abeokuta and when they came to lagos, they called their friends and said "omo eko ni mi" (I am a lagosian). Other ethnic groups cannot tell the difference whether he is Awori or not. That is the beauty of being a yoruba in Nigeria. This is not tribalism, it is more like a yorkshire man going to London and claim he was an indigene of London but me as a black man would not know the difference. Of course the true yorubas can identify the difference if he is Awori or not but as things stand now, no one cares.

If an igbo person has lived in lagos all his live and understands yoruba and the way of life then he is entitle to whatever lagos has to offer. The only problem he might be facing is his name and the way he acts in public, not that i am a tribalist here but being a lagos politican and wearing a red hat and other eastern stuff is a bit strange and annoying. If a man is named CHUKWU EMEKA but every other thing is yoruba about him even to way to communicates to the people, then by all mean he is free to rule so long as he does well. You have to remember no one like other groups ruling them and his tenure would not be really easy for him because of his background unless he does a lot better than his predecessors.

Many igbos, SS and hausas as of today claim OMO EKO  because they act and behave like lagosian which is very cool, but in times of crisis the yorubas can identify them from the indigenes very easily because of the way they speak and other stuffs like asking them about there background which every true son and daughter of yourba should know. Most of us living in lagos love other ethnic groups in lagos because it brings a bit of diversity of language and culture. There are some parents (mostly igbos and ijaws) that would not let there children learn yoruba because they view it as colonisation or they just hate the language because it is not english. Well it is sad because such children better relocate to other parts of the country. The reason for this is that such children can not buy easily without being swindled or bullied in the public life of lagos.

Lagos is a rough city where individuals have to be smart and be on there toes unlike port harcount or abuja. Of couse it would be easier if they learn yoruba, pidgin english and learn the way of life in a city like lagos.

Talking about politics, aworis would prefer any other yoruba to rule them than any other person from another group. For example Tinubu and his wife are not lagosian but yet they are loved. The chairman of my local government is from Ekiti and he is ruling another from kwara etc; but of course other ethnic groups cannot know the difference if he is awori or not.

So in summary, Lagos is a city that defines yorubas as an ethnic group. It is a city that make an ekiti man feel yoruba, it is a city that makes an ondo or kogi man feel yoruba, It is a city that make igbos see the yoruba way of life but this has be diluted a bit due to the diversity   . All in all it is a city that makes everyone feel Nigerian from hausa, igbo, ijaw to yoruba. A city for all.

Alj Harem?

onathan, Mark and Akpabio

Less than 24 hours to the governorship election in Akwa Ibom State, the police in the state raided a private printing press in Uyo on Sunday night and carted away production materials and several copies of some local newspapers while they were on production. Some journalists were arrested and later released in the morning.

But the director of the printing press and two of his staffers are still being detained in an unknown location by the police.

The raided printing press, Aswill is in Akpan Etuk Street in the heart of Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, and the affected papers are Global Concord, Pivot News and Weekly Insight.

Mr. Clifford Thomas, the publisher and editor-in-chief of Pivot News confirmed that the police arrested him and three other journalists who work in the production team of his paper, but that they were later released. He said the police came in four Toyota hilux trucks, and said they had orders from the deputy commissioner of police to stop some newspapers from getting to the newsstand because of suspicion that they were publishing subversive materials against the Akwa Ibom State government.

“They forcefully took away all our production plates, we are now thinking of how to start afresh for this week publication. The police action is highly repressive and it is condemnable,” Clifford Thomas said. Mr. David Augustine, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Insight said though the police did not take away the production materials of his paper, that the raid has affected their plans to hit the newsstand early because they had already scheduled to print the newspaper in the raided press.

Towards Tuesday Elections; Akpabio meets Akwa Ibom Press distributes N100,000 each

In what seems to be the final touches to the massively rig tomorrow's election, Governor Godswill Akpabio is bribing interest groups to compromise them ahead of the gubernatorial elections in  Akwa Ibom state. Governor  Akpabio continued his bribery spree from the state treasury as he met on Saturday night with journalists in the state.

The Saturday night meeting was coordinated by Mr Aniekan Umanah, Akpabio’s Commissioner for Information who personally distributed N100,000 cash to over 200 people who paraded themselves as journalists.

SaharaReporters gathered that roll call of the attendees was taken to ensure that everyone present was captured in the bribery scheme which involved  journalists and impostors alike who took advantage of the opportunity to line their pockets.

It was gathered that the cash disbursement was to shut them up even though press men stationed in the state capital are largely compromised especially since last year when the governor hosted the annual meeting of the National Union of Journalists n the state. Some officials of the body were kidnapped in Abia state with huge sums of money given to them by Governor Akpabio.


The nocturnal meeting, held at Akpan Isemin hall within the Governor’s lodge dragged late into the early hours of Sunday .

The Bribe recipients took turns to collect the fresh mint notes and disappeared in small groups to execute their brief.

The use of state funds in prosecuting Akpabio’s re-election bid has been going on since he indicated interest to run for a second term in office.

Nigerian's are really crazy when it comes to religion. "He is a man of God", "God has shown him his wrath by the fire that ravaged his house." I guess through your visions, God showed you that Bakare has defied him. He is a man of God, and according to his religion and the bible, he is yet to do wrong. So why the mass hysteria? Are you afraid that he may be right? Nigerian's are always afraid of the truth. Who told you GEJ is God sent? What is your proof? If you can actually believe God is wicked enough to send you a leader, who is surrounded by the wolves in PDP, then you are indeed crazy. And need mental help. . Did he commit a crime by expressing his rights? He is a pastor but also a Nigerian and entitled to the same rights as any one else. Only if you people held PDP accountable as you are trying to slander Bakare. Bunch of cowards.

This is what happens when the government is consumed with stealing and oil money. They have abandoned all other aspects of running the country. All they are interested in is FEC billion naira allocation meetings, or senate bonuses. They forget about security, fundamentals, and guarding their backyard. Now the chicken's have come home to roost, people are shaking. Una never hear am. At the end of all this, Nigerian's will be wiser. They will be forced to be wiser, and demand better. 98% are hungry, 2% robbing the country blind and expect to have peace. These hungry 98% are cheap and easy prey for fundamentalists and opportunists.

@ OP,

Your title should be " Elite- Nigeria's Ticking Time Bomb" These set of people called the "elite" are the biggest criminals in Nigeria, and have succeeded in impoverishing the nation are responsible for this crises. These people in a sane society will be in jail for 20 years at least. Most of them would have gotten death sentences from numerous murders. There is no difference between them and the Almajiri's. They are solely responsible for the Almajiri state of life. Most Almajiri have lost parents and family to our terrible health care system. They also are refused a right to education, and a promising future by these same elite thieves. You cannot keep stealing at the expense of others. One day, the poor will come and ask for their due. This is what we are seeing today. Let us not blame the Almajiri's, but the government who is responsible for their well-being. They are supposed to be the wards of the state. It is time we start holding out leader's accountable.

Beaf:
You are just smoking weed through your hairy bigoted arse, thats why use sound so damn stvpid.
I am on this thread attacking fools like you that believe they can start up a cult movement of "we hate everybody and everybody hates us."
Crap from disturbed minds, its like Jews and Palestine only the 100% imaginery product of crazed minds.

You lot sound like Hitlers spawn.

Look you are a coward! Your name is beaf, na beaf dey tear your mind. Like your principal, you need checks and balances on this site, because you will go to any length to campaign. This thread is not about you, so i will leave you. but the next time you try to do anything on NL that is ethnically linked, na that day you go hear am . Id*iot.

Beaf:
You will soon injure yourself. Dude, don't blow your gasket.
You said you were going to defame GEJ, because I'm pointing out the idiocy in the ethnic bigotry this thread is about. Why would that be so painful to you? lol
Charlie, no offence, but you sound very stvpid.

Look dude, stop beating around the bush. This is not about this thread but the nonsense you have been writing. I am pointing out to you that we will safely conclude that your words are GEJ's words if you continue spewing nonsense. You are not an important entity for anyone to take you seriously on NL. All you do is lick arse like a robot. Start, something. Are you now Ghanian? Who be your chale? Start something now. I dare you. ode.

Beaf:
I have nothing to do with GEJ. I'm just out to help tame ethnic bigotry and the divisiveness, calousness and crass foolishness it creates.
Stop talking through your dusty, crusty arse. I dared you just now, didn't I? lol

Are you afraid, start something again now. F*ucking rabble rouser. Ise ma bo lowo e. Ode. You better go and lick your oga's yansh and make some money today. low life, bag of rice salaried i*diot

Preferable choice is a United States of Nigeria, or a Regional based government with a central army, represented equally by all regions. Each region having its duly appointed leader to sit in a cabinet and make final decisions. While we would have leaders at the regional level, much like state House of representative creating laws and policies to govern the region.

Beaf:
Go ahead with whatever silliness crosses your mind. I dare you. lol.
Whats so painful to you, is it that I am pointing out the destructive ethnic bigotry on display here? Shame on you.

Try another masquerade thread again and let me see you. I will start something that will make you lose your job. You are GEJ's rep here, what you say is what GEJ says. Stave off your jealousy and go and open a thread to lick GEJ's arse*

Instead of a north/ south divide, i will rather stay in this crap called Nigeria.

Beaf:
What a closedminded punk! Who told you I am GEJ's voice?
I illustrated in very vivid colours what bigotry can do to the mind and you feel threatened. Why?
Lets look at it another way, if someone from Zamfara or kebbi pops up and is not looking at how to cooperate to build not only his locality, but the wider country and just keeps sprouting inanities about cultural superiority in wild-eyed madness; what would you think? Would you not think that that person is so far on the dangerous side of delusion that they do not see how they come across?

Like I said, they come across like Hitler Youth.

You are GEJ's voice on this site. Be warned, and guard your ridiculous utterances. Or we would commence a big character destruction on GEJ based on the hate you have been preaching lately to help your principal. There is no difference between you and the almajiri. I have seen you support SS/SE for voting based on tribal affiliations. An in the process insulting other tribes.Your opinion on this site should be balanced. I am sure some of the crap spewed on this site by you and the likes of Ezeuche is responsible for the deaths of so many in the north. A lot of people have access to the internet these days. because they dont post doesnt mean they cant read your stupidity. If i were to descend to insulting you, you will not recover.

Nigerian's do not have a sane mentality to be given this right. They fight over the most frivolous things and are complete agbero's from birth. The typical Nigerian lacks the ability to seek calm as opposed to violence. Imagine area boys brandishing guns freely in the street. Step on them, stain their shirt, or put dust on their feet and you will lose your life.

Southerner's do not get along with each other. Neither do Northerner's. So if we break it, we break into about 6 countries. Since that is almost not feasible as we will have a lot of refugee's in he SW. . Regionalism will seem like a better idea.

I am also sure the president has JTF under its thumb. The idea will be to deploy non northern troops to the area. So that they are neutral. Preferably Edo or Yoruba extraction. All they need to do is shut down the states and declare a state of emergency, and before doing so announce on BBC news, and news channels Northerner's listen to. Tell everyone to stay in their homes. Trouble maker's will be arrested and attackers will be shot. As long as adequate announcements are made, there should be no problems stopping all this crises. Mobile police, JTF and SSS are supposed to get involved. Not the army proper

Beaf:
Perhaps, you will begin to see my point. The likes of Eko Ile (or babapupa) and ekt_bear are the closest Nigerian youth will get to Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth).
They are a bunch of dangerous and near insane fools that believe they are superior to all. Eko Ile is lucky to come from Lagos, but ekt_bears case is particularly tragic, as his state is on the same footing as Kebbi and Zamfara, yet he feels "superior." lol!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Youth

We live in a new country where bigots must be cast out.

Since you are the voice of GEJ on this site. Be warned, whatever you say about any group will be translated as coming from GEJ. Stay in your lane. Your oga became president by all means. So by all means, shut up and stop your nonsense. Or else, we will start a thread posting all GEJ's thoughts, as they have fallen from your mouth. Especially the tribalistic and divisive.
