MizMyColi:

A fine evening to you Ladies and Gentlemen





It is the duty of the opposition to criticize the ruling government when it hides from ‎its duties or conceals facts. This it must learn to do with every ounce of credibility. It has a duty to ensure that its stand is issue based, assertive and devoid of the attendant bile and bitterness which has mainly characterised our political landscape in recent times.

Sometimes though, the opposition tends to miss it. It is imperative that we lean to draw a fine line between playing opposition and sycophancy.

Opposition politics has to be people oriented. It always has to be chiefly about the people. A call to the wonderful world of politics should be ‎seen first and foremost as an opportunity to serve.

‎
‎Whenever we hear the term opposition, our heads are synced already to the party wars and affiliations.
We think of effective opposition as being denigrative, insultive and what have you.
I will like to make it clear today that people who reason and act along those lines do not have best intentions for this nation...
‎
What is the use of being an opposition person if my motives are not clearly defined?
What is the use if not to see my country better again.

‎
Now it is not so much about what you are doing as the opposition, but how you are doing it.
‎
Are you opposing constructively, or destructively?

‎
The fact that a bad precedence has already been laid does not mean we can not do what we should to correct things.
‎
I have decided to play my part by ensuring that whether I speak for or against this government, it should be from a standpoint of love, for this country, for my people and for my generations yet unborn.‎
Anything less is selfish and should not be promoted especially when key sensitive issues are on blast‎.
‎
Nigeria needs selfless people.‎
People who have decided to rise above greed and avarice inorder to champion the cause of this nation. We need to put a stop to Machiavellian politics which has so saturated our climes with its cynical disregard fo‎r morality and promotion of self interest. 

I understand that politics is basically about the distribution of power and societal resources, however It's time we put a human and transcendental  face to politics.

We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.‎
‎

Miz m....Ada anji ejemba. Jisike!!!

TimeManager:
OP, i love the picture you put up there, it perfectly depicts a frustrating figure & a wailing countenance of an average lowly biafran. Secondly, the quack of a dutch lawyer is nothing but a scam artist who will not decline an oppourtunity to fleece ipobs to fulfil his tax obligation. I recommend they hire the dutch prime minister the same manner they hire putin immediately after his arrest. Ipob buffoon should read between the lines in the latest judgement of the federal high court pronouncing kanu a security threat. I laugh in biafra. Buffoonery is allowed.
The truth has spoken!

There really isn't any need to get angry with biafra; you will shocked that not many igbos will supprt it: I am Igbo but I don't support one bit.

What I friend strange is that a president or citizens, detests a people with dissenting voices and yet when they won't to leave the same people get overtly angry. Does is really add up?

The simple way is to conduct a poll to test the popularity and move on.

What iBuhari and people like you actually scared of on this biafra matter

Tolu must either be a Gemini who are naturally two faced or from the sophisticated race, that's their way of life

johnshagb:
Lots of twists in this story.

* You traveled all the way to lagos to meet a stranger

*You couldn't differentiate between a residential building and a Hotel at your age

* They took you in through the back door? Dafuq!

* A rapist confidently seeing you off

The police should check their chat history because this seems like typical olosho business gone wrong. And if the guys are guilty they should be dealt with accordingly.

Finally I see some sensible post

The police know the issue isn't rape but Nigerian Police wants to monetise the case.

With it going to State CID, it won't end in court at least N500K will be made by the officers in charge both of Igando and the State CID to "close the case.

Case is business for police

The Lion of Ubima has been caged and is now a pussy cat, he can kwantinue to his self slavery to his new masters

Pangea:

This is the height of insanity!
Awon oloriburuku!
Do you know what 200 billion dollars can do to our infrastructures?
Health system?
Power?
Manufacturing industries?
Job creation?
Walahi these people should be
sentenced to death!

Young Man, this is the weekly tonic for distraction by buhari's spin doctors....have u noticed??

Don't take them serious until they recover the value. Whatever happened to the $20billion SLS was screaming about? It's 8months and what we hear is $2.1b scam which hasn't even totalled N1B

azzima:
igbo stories EVERYWHERE because they have decided to dance unclad in the market square.......with their recent shenanigans.

If you so hate igbos then you should be glad when they say they want to leave.....

You are just an impressionable your person whose reason has been dulled by the narrow minded mentality of your imbalanced socio-cultural milleu

A country of forced union can never be progressive

SS is so blessed that it alone feeds workers from Osun to jigawa.

Awo built the famous cocoa house I Ibadan why can't this generation who wail about yams from another person's farm; start their own farms a eat their own yams others wail about that f have change

timilehin007:
Wailers will still show their stupidities here..they won't still appreciate this..they are so so blind by the hatred towards pmb..

I don't like this people an inch.

Small kids everywhere

Let the Cocoa farmers go back to the farms and stop talking about yam eaters and IPOB....

And they must render all the sales into the federation account for onward sharing to SE states and SS...I all about change

Trouble dey sleep buhari go wake am

All these guys talking about yam eaters should apply themselves for a change....yorubas have five times the land in the SE yet they refuse to farm

All they know is aso ebi and owambe and ise-kekere-owo-nla

As for me I just dey observe till the fullness

Brooklynsouth:
God bless the woman that brought u forth God bless her womb you said my mind we IgBo should leave this so called ss especially the ijaw they are becoming so annoying honestly I don't wish to see them as part of BIAFRAA they ll cause a major problem

Thanks for the glowing compliments!!! Nice to know w share similar train of thoughts

ckmayoca:
Drag yam for 4 years and allow 4 yrs be wasted from young graduates live without creation of employment and still companies go want ppl below the age of 25 to get employed. The money in question is what Nigeria economy can generate in a day if things are put in place. Everyday na dis 600 billion arms deal issue.

Most sensible post so far!

Th I my judgemen on thi probes....they are not making the executive think o how to move forward....

For me, the president as as matter of balance; release one economic ploicly alongside every probe file he opens....

It's almost like year an all we hear is probe and probe

The North should be one country with Chad and Niger and sudan....we really have nothing in common

masterpower:
So people should be hanged for expressing their feelings/opinion?

I believe that you went to school but you're not educated. Anyway, its common in the so called sophisticated region.

Failures that always blames GEJ for their incompetence.

You reason with you anus.

Nwanem Nwoke e hian bu e nhe Ana kpo n'okwu beke, sarcasm....i na nu

Tolexander:
This is not a "push the blame".

Just a "look into the past" how it could have prevented and help the present issue.

If Jonathan ensured the vaccine was ready will the present minister in all honesty praise him now

Why did it take scores of people to die to hear the minister speak up on the matter?

For me he reeks of incompetence.

The objective way to assess any incumbent administration is its. Actions to solving the problemsthey met, afterall it was precisely because of incompetence, real or percieved, that the past government was sent away

Stupid people everywhere.....

Buhari was congratulated with a historic phone call by his predecessor, that's why US and the commonwealth and UN keep commending GEJ even though they are aware of the scandals in his regime. But they know not as Democracy deepens other things will follow.

Ei longfor an election where no soul is lost, no violence but is just a freindly constests of one ideology against another

Buhari has just showed heisnt moved by democratic suystems an values....he only just have to tell his aides to pass on the congratularo message but that guy just isn't on who loves democracy

sanky346:
He should set up his own ministry. A man of his stature and following shouldn't have problem with having his own autonomous church.

Catholic Priests take vows of celibacy, Poverty and Obedience

The Bishop dictates where a priest must go

Your proposal is only possible in a pentecostal setting

engineerboat:
1. Sambo Dasuki is from where,
2. Former Jigawa Governor and Son is from where,

abeg pack well

You are just too young to se beyond your nose

madetayo:
Another IPOB psycho on the loose. To answer you question about an Hausa man castigating his brother in government, GMB did that with Umaru Dikko many years back and presently dealing with Dasuki and other northerners who looted our country. I'ts high time we stopped defending crooks based on tribal or ethnic sentiments. To me,a Yoruba man who loots Nigerian funds is a thief and not a hero

Buhari served in the most corrupt and depostic regime in Nigeria's history. Ten years after the Tyrant fell to death he declared Abacha never stole!!!!

Dasuki and Lamido are more of personal vendentta

My original point is you will never catch an average, educated northerner lashing an accused northern figure just the way southerners do; even the yorubas wouldn't do the same so spare me the patriotic rant

You guys ain't loyal to fair play all you want is your selfish gain

The Op is busy forming Mr Patriotism.....the North will be amazed at how dense the SS peeps are...

Which hausa man will castigate his brother in government of even one who has case levelled against him.....

It's only in the SS you see the rubbish....i am beginning to suspect the local gin's long terms effect on how the local judge their reality

As for us Igbos many of us are realising how foolish is I to fight for people who hate to fight for themselve

Ugomba:
Tompolo is a Criminal and A Tout.. He should not dare Buhari the retired general or ELSE He will learn a Bitter Lesson that No One Is Above The Law.

Shekau had dared buhari and what could he do?

Intead buhari is looking for Shekau to dash him amnesty

Your president is just too emotional. A good general should how to pic his battles

I said this yesterday about Tompolo sending his boys after alledging a frame up by FG on pipeline explosions

The SS the game is on you. The North and west will dominate you until you have common sense to stand for your right

What's the big deal in gathering intelligence in neigbouring countries where they might have been married off?

The BBC hausa radio service with is broadcasted along that Belt can run sponsored sensitisation jingles and announcement.....haba one or two of the Chibok girl(who by the way are educated) will respond and from there more intelligence will be gathered

If I applied for a driving job and am eventually employed for that Job only to "tell the truth" that I don't know how how to drive, should I still be retained on that Job as a driver

For me PMb has allowed Dasuki, Kanu, Tompolo and the rest to distract himself from looking at other issues of serious national interest, like the Chibok girls and growing the economy!

He should change is formation fast or he may wake up to 2019 and the usual excuse that he is clearing the mess of the last administration may not sell even to his fans

Why is that you all can't see the deciet in Tompolo's statement

He says "they want to frame him up for pipeline destruction".....which means he plans to actually send his boys to blow up the pipelines in the event of his arrest while these statement serves to exonorate him since he had said so befor eht epipeline wis been blown up as a pressurefor FG to set him free of the charges against him....




Secondly, he speaks of one Nigeria because he knows that is what makes Buhari and the Northern ruling class happy so that they will mitigate the level of sanction he should face before the court

Now what has IPOB has to do with Tompolo's arrest? Why are Igbos brought into this?


Igbos sef should cease from "fighting for justice in other peoples" since they end up being so ungrateful.....

You can imagine the risk the Igbos took giving GEJ unalloyed support: he lost the elections but he wasn't disgraced at the polls

Infact had Buhari not rigged the elections by enlisting underage voting he won't have won


Yet the Igbo man's support of jonathan is been reduced to "oil" in the SS as though Igbos don't have oil in their own states

Well I have understood one thing now the SS do not trust the Igbos so Igbos should let them be.....perhaps when the North and SW are done with them by sending GEJ to jail, they will wake up


Isn't it happening already with the new directives for states to mine their local resources while Oil remains for Nigeria

Any Igbo who still supports GEJ or the Niger Delta cause is a big fool.

Igbos remember our greatest resource is in our head let's make the Igbo nation Africa's China!!!

NgeneUkwenu:
So TonyeBarcanista must support corrupt people in order to please IPOB Youths?

Shameless jollof rice eater spotted

adonis89:
m bin watching and following ur comment for some years naw. Really ur a f00l. U always claim to b on ground but there's notin in ur brain. Today u b for pdp,tomoro u say u represent the mind of all ijaw,next u b supporting apc. Ur not a man. Remember u once sent me a pm.
