Igbos fought 3 yr solid war without loosing an inch of their territory, but you have lost ilorin without a single gunshot... Just close your eyes and imagine what will happen if only Yoruba face Igbos face to face... Of course you know the results.. Coward

You are talking of slavery ? So unfortunate that you don't know your history.. If you want to see a slave, get closer to a mirror

You realized that 3 million of your people paid the price for that War right? And you still ended as Sorelosers with your leader running away with his tail between his leg. Even your last offensive was led by a Yoruba man while your leader ran away

Forget the noise.
Tinubu has Lagos on lock down. See this weekend, na fight to finish for Lagos.

Those who matter aren't making noise, it is Igbos and bastards like Agbaje talking nonsense.

Igbos in Lagos would be dealt with don't worry. Ambode started small but stopped. We go show them who get Lagos.

Yeah. I like that spirit. I hope the unaware among us wake up.

Funny thing. Read it somewhere here that Agbaje might be an intentional plant by Tinubu... grin

Dele Belgore in Kwara was accused of being a Saraki plant. There might be some truth in it because it's said they roll together when in Lagos. He was always Saraki's perennial opponent, get defeated and immediately leave Kwara. When this election cycle, i think he contested again but APC didn't want him.

What a typical, baseless rant of a failed mouthpiece. Are you even aware that the "millions of Nigerians" you allude to (as supporting/reelecting you) are less than 8% of the population. That's a huge question mark on your legitimacy and commitment to nation building.

Even with your wholesome riggings, institutional corruption, gross voter intimidation and suppression, your party got less than 25% of vote from the South East as a zone. But you won't tell your gullible followers anything about that fact.

Rather than dealing with the glaring issues raised by Mr. Mike Ozekhome, all you could come up with as a spokesman (after 7 whole days of searching for nonexistent alibi) was this dumb diversionary personal attacks on the learned gentleman.

Shame!

Where were you when your principal used his infamous 97% vs 5% narrative to justify his very deliberately planned noninclusive style of governance against Ndigbo?

Where were you when your principal used his warped sense of "merit" to justify his lopsided, nepotistic, deliberate and total exclusion of Ndigbo from the security apparatus of the country?

Mr. spokesman, are you aware that Nigeria is being tagged as going the way of Venezuela currently?

You should be telling us what's your principal's take on that, rather than this childish rant against the truth.

And, talking about Venezuela vs Nigeria and your falsehoods about the economy, here's a nice food for thought:

presidency:
By Femi Adesina

On February 27, 2019, lawyer and activist, Mike Ozekhome, wrote a piece under the headline, 'Buhari's skewed view of the Igbo race.'

On face value, the piece seemed to advocate the cause of the Igbo race, but a dispassionate analysis shows it for what it truly is: drivel meant to incite the Igbo against the Muhammadu Buhari administration, and further inflame passions that would pedestal the ethnic nationality against the rest of the federation. Ozekhome appeared to be a friend to our brothers and sisters across the Niger, but in actual fact, he was a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing. Shakespeare describes such as "goodly apple but rotten at the cheek."

It is always so very easy to claim that Nigeria is disunited, while at the same time be a purveyor of hatred and discord. What Ozekhome did was simply to fan the embers of hatred, bile and disunity, playing the Igbo against the rest of the country, while appearing to be their friend. Well, it is not surprising, as the Good Book tells us that even Satan has a way of appearing like an angel of light, to deceive and beguile the unwary.

The verbose and bombastic article (make it simple, is one of the principles of good communication) is filled with half truths, outright falsehood, and vitriol, all to ensure that the Igbo nation sees President Buhari as its arch enemy. It is example of an outsider weeping more than the bereaved.

Lawyer Ozekhome has a right to his political persuasion, which is also very well known. He is a friend of that rent seeking political class, which is fast becoming endangered species in Nigeria today. Under President Buhari, it is becoming crystal clear by the day that the political breed that the lawyer loves is becoming a vanishing sect. And that breed may never control the levers of power, and the purse strings of the country again. What grief for lawyers that thrive better under such circumstances!

See a portion of the acerbic piece that betrayed Ozekhome's political preference: "It was enough that President Jonathan had been sacrificed and booted out of office by APC and its international collaborators, led by the US, UK and EU. These are the same countries the very government is now tagging meddlesome interlopers in our internal affairs."

So, after all, the piece was not about love for the Igbo nation. At the substratum level is love for the free spending Goodluck Jonathan administration that frittered away the commonwealth of the country, looting everything from the Federation Account, to Excess Crude Oil Account, central bank, and the foreign reserves. Some lawyers possibly made a killing under such laissez faire atmosphere, and wished it had lasted forever. But here's the truth for Ozekhome: the Jonathan administration is gone, and gone forever. Nigerians are not likely to ever afflict themselves with such squander-mania again. Those who long for the onions, garlic and cucumber of Egypt had better accept the fact that we have left the land of servitude forever. We are now almost in Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey, and there's no turning back.

Ozekhome described the February 23 presidential election as "complete murder of democracy and electoral process by the Buhari government." Really? Millions of Nigerians don't think so. Rather, the day of the election goes down in history as one in which bloody nose was given to the confederacy of wheeler dealers that wanted to seize the public treasury again, and make a mess of it. However, the people said a resounding no. It pains the lawyer and his ilk to the marrows. But not to worry, he can still make some fast bucks from the community of senior lawyers being assembled by Atiku Abubakar in a futile bid to regain a 'mandate' which never existed in the first place.

The Agenebode, Edo State born lawyer merely used the Igbo nation as a smokescreen to display his angst against the Buhari administration. Hear what he wrote about the Igbo in respect of the February 23 election: "However, notwithstanding the militarized process and disenfranchisement of many Nigerians, the Ndigbo people tenaciously stood their ground as a proud race. They clearly rejected Buhari through the ballot box." True? False. What about the Igbo that gave the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Buhari more than the required 25 % in Abia, Imo and Ebonyi states? Are they not members of the ethnic nationality again? Does Ozekhome think Atiku Abubakar, or anybody else, would ever become Nigerian president by just locking down two geo-political zones out of the six in the country? It will never happen. They are the ones that fooled the old political war horse into believing that he was already president before the first ballot was cast. Soon, they will leave the man in the lurch, and look for economic benefits somewhere else. But they should never forget that the days of free money are gone in Nigeria. Yes, you can still get quite wealthy in this country, but you must work for it. And hard, too.

Ozekhome gave himself away as a typical person that speaks from both sides of the mouth. He said President Buhari did not visit Anambra State till he found the need to go for political campaign, first in the gubernatorial election of 2017, and the recent presidential race. You never can win with some people. Head or tail, you lose. They can cavil, and live permanently at the complaint counter of life. The president visits a state, he is criticized. He doesn't visit, he is excoriated. The best thing is just to ignore the professional complainers, and do what you think is right.

Pretending to love the Igbos, while inciting them to what may tantamount to political doomsday, the lawyer said President Buhari never attended the burials of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, Chinua Achebe, and Dr Alex Ekwueme. Some people make political capital out of everything, including shedding crocodile tears at burial ceremonies, but not Muhammadu Buhari. We all know what he did when Dr Ekwueme took gravely ill, and he arranged medical evacuation by air ambulance abroad. The government also footed the medical bill. The state burial was attended by the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo. So impressed was the Igbo nation that a high powered delegation came to the presidential villa to say thank you. Yet, a man from Agenebode, pretending to love the Igbo more than themselves, is playing cheap politics with burial ceremonies.

See this pettiness about the mausoleum of the great Zik, which had been abandoned before the Buhari administration completed it: "He was in Onitsha to commission his only project and 'federal presence' since 2015, the repainted grave tomb of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zik of Africa) whose burial obsequies he had also shunned in 1991."

If Ozekhome had been less consumed by hatred, he would have realized the deep friendship that existed between the then Gen Buhari, and Zik's son, Bamidele. They were so close that the latter played host to Buhari many times in Onitsha.

Bile and 'bad belle' also led the lawyer to describe the magnificent mausoleum as 'repainted grave tomb.' This was a project that Power, Works and Housing Minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola, personally supervised, and delivered in grand manner. But Ozekhome probably has not been to Onitsha, and does not even know the road to the city. That's why he calls it a repainted tomb. Yes, the horse of an adversary is never tall. If it stands at over six feet, the enemy says 'oh, see this dwarf horse.' Hatred blinds. Animosity addles the mind, and poisons the soul.

Sometime last year, Federal Government unveiled about 69 projects currently being executed in the South-east alone, including the Second Niger Bridge, roads, other bridges, electrification, and many others. But people like Ozekhome would not see it, as they would rather chase briefs in Ekiti State under Ayo Fayose, for which they got humongous legal fees. God dey!

In the Good Book, wise men came from the East to see the holy child, Jesus. Wise men still abound in the eastern part of Nigeria. They know what pertains to their peace, and they voted wisely on February 23. The Igbo must inevitably produce the President of Nigeria. But that eventuality will not come by listening to hate preachers like Mike Ozekhome. We have seen how hate preachers from the pulpit failed resoundingly in the presidential election. Hate preachers from the bar will also fail, and no mistake. You can only be president when you build a coalition round the country, and not by circumscribing yourself in two regions. That, at best, can only give you a clan head.

Adesina is Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity

Please can someone with brain cells tell Adesina, Yari.ba dumbass, that Ndigbo do not need any form of incitement to rail against the Republic of Northern region of Nigeria cum Nigeria. The southern Nigeria would have been better of with the Yari.ba peeps.

But he would be wise to know that the day of reckoning will come, no matter how far-off it seems.

." You can only be president when you build a coalition round the country, and not by circumscribing yourself in two regions. That, at best, can only give you a clan head."

Having read through Adesina's response to Ozekhome's (SAN ) letter, I picked the statement above which I consider to be a sincere advice for the Igbo people. Wailing and lamentation will not make them produce president of Nigeria. Until they "build a coalition round the country " their hope (desire and expectations ) will remain a mirage.

I don't usually bother dignifying slowpokes with a response. But this is an exception, at least for the sake of the reasonable bystander.

1) Your god did not win the last election, by any stretch of imagination. It was stolen on his behalf.

2) In your alternative universe, when the spokesperson of the government covertly calls the entire country to hate one ethnic group (as your hero Femi just did) it is not a hate speech, but calling him out on his hypocritical silliness (as I just did) is what you term hate. Shame on you.

3) When the north gives a block vote to Buhari, you interpret it as love. But when the greater south gives the same block vote to someone else, you interpret it as hate. Hypocrite, is that your own definition of democracy?

4) In a democratic system, inclusiveness is NOT a reward, it's a right. Everyone has the right to vote whoever he or she pleases. But whoever succeeds in leading a democratic government makes it inclusive for everyone. Inclusiveness is the minimum viable yardstick for measuring democratic leadership. Thus, your winner takes it all mindset is a cave man mentality. Unfortunately, that seems to be who you are, judging by the crap you posted below.
