dougivilla: Tinubu: AD to AC to ACN to APC to what again?
Buhari: APP to ANPP, flight to CPC to APC and then to what?
PDP = PDP 14 yrs and still counting.

Was it the formation of PDPGF that made them unstable? Gbawe and others that always talk about global politics, what brand is this and where is it copied from?

By the time they fail woefully in 2015 maybe they'll be thinking of registering a parallel PDP if they can confuse Nigerians.

Tinubu should better shut up and address his instability and recurrent betrayals. Nonesense!#ShamelessTwainMusketeers#!

14 SOLID YEARS OF WASTE.

eldoradoxx: It makes real sense my broda joor !!! Tinubu can only be relevant in SW where unknown personalities who came from relative obscurity became Governor through Asiwaju's rigging machinery and same people owe him total loyalty even when he is obviously goofing. Same man was a failure in Lagos state and it took his stooge Fashola's determined quest to redeem Lagos fromTinubus inglorious regime, to save his master's face. Politics is not a game of tribal or regional championship. Let him come to the centre let's see how popular he is outside Yoruba land.

GBE ENU OSHI SOUN, ABSOLUTE TOTAL RUBBISH.

Desola: Let's face it, every region in Nigeria knows that the future or demise of this country lies in the hands of the west. We are the glue that keeps this country together and if we are dissatisfied and want out, only us can bring the nation to its knees. We have been the calming force and rational mind of this nation and devoid of us, there is no unity; no progress.

Jonathan have tried to instigate the ibos to an uprising but he now sees that the tiger that woke up in the okoro man in the civil war has been laid to rest. No amount of bombs in the North is going to make these people stand to defend themselves. His last hope is the west and the only way to do it is to put our backs up against the wall. If Yoruba is clever like I think it is, it would look beyond the propaganda that boko haram is the North and look at jonathan and his ambitious neighbours squarely in the face and call a spade a spade. The north have the most to lose if it chooses to leave. The north sees that Jonathan is spurring them for a fight but they are clever to play it cool by not responding to his lies that the north is trying to destabilise his government. They want to patiently wait for their turn in 2015 (of course jonathan have now taught them that once you get power, you must never let it go).

It is inevitable that Nigeria is unsustainable and patch as we may, it would still crumble but Jonathan using the west to do his dirty work would not work. He has his militants and the ladies bag carrying massob so he can go to work if he's brave enough. Any attempt to bring the west into this nonsense would see his swamp levelled and his kinfolk wiped out of the history of not only Nigeria but mankind in general.

A word is enough for the wise but we know that Jonathan is a f00l!

Oruko ta ma so omo eni inu eni lon ngbe, the security plans of the sw should not be a subject of discussion on cyber space, try to be more discreet next time.
Bomb will not detonate in Yoruba land, whoever conceive such idea will die nursing such ambition, it will not happen because those whom God have bless, no man can curse.

violent: The president has just descended to new lows with this latest decision. Thousands of innocent people have been killed by rascals who have no obvious motives beyond bigoted religious ones; While several Families have watched their world thrown into disarray and would mourn their beloved ones for the rest of their days, the President makes the most repulsing decision one could ever think of - Grant pardon to these murderers!

In order words, Mr President is saying to the families of the victims to f**k off! No hope for Justice for them now or ever! in order words their loss! - Those victims? As far as Mr President is concerned, mere statistics!

I have heard someone say "A corpse is just a corpse until that corpse is your pops" - these words have never been truer! Perhaps if Mr President have at one point in time or the order, had to pick up pieces of his wife or kids body parts blown apart by rascals pursuing bigoted religious motives, perhaps he may have found the decision to grant pardon to these murderers a tasteless repulsive one? who knows?
Posterity shall Judge. As for me, any little respect I have left for the President has just gone through the window!

This is the only way out for JEG and he knows it, I only pitied those that died from boko bombings.
This is a lesson to all an sundry, when you are making an agreement, be sure you can stand by your word.
Jona just got served.

emmysenior: Always say things that you can defend. Were you there when the Kogi state government asked the Ibajis to kill Agulerians? I doubt if you are a graduate. Stop acting or believing in them says...

UNA NO DEY TAYA?.

macnicks: May the souls of those killed rest in peace. It is worrisome on this development because while I served in that community as NYSC member, the two neigbours were very united. It was then that the rumour of antagonism concerning the oil began. It was learnt that kogi government was persuading the closest neighbours to aguleri ie Ashonwo/Odeke to commence war against the aguleri in a bid to avoid the commission of the oil wells by the president Goodluck Jonathan. But against the state demands the odeke/ashonwo refused such frivolous demands by citing how good neighbours they were to the agulerians and beside there is no boundary issue with its neighbours aguleri. I was surprise to see this war captions over the newspapers. During the flooding aguleri neighbours especially the Ashonwo and Odeke were all hosted in aguleri/ umuleri community and were seriously taken care of. I am really not happy with my people for invading the aguleri people without warning. The Idiah and Igala people cannot have regard on us the way aguleri has on us, to them we are uneducated minority. The truth is hard to but i won't shine away from saying it. We share many economic ties with the agulerians than the kojis. I have written to Ashonwo/ Odeke and copied to the state government to call for settlement without delay and apologize to aguleri people without hesitation. If kogi state has any grievance they should Channel it to the right quarters and stop using local people as a stooge against their peace and survival. My hands are clean.

AT LAST, A SENSIBLE CONTRIBUTION, GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER.

Lamasta: Stop abusing the word *POWERFUL* how will a THIEF be tagged powerful? A man that don't believe in democracy how can He be called a Powerful Man, As far as am concerned there is no democracy in ACN, they only choose candidates not elect candidates and you tell me that a leader of that party is powerful mtchew....

So what should we call those who rigged an election.

politician: Tinubu saw the lacuna in the power-grabbing structure of Nigeria and explored it!!

1)By retiring the old horses in AG/AD, he paved way for young folks to come to mainstream politics in SW...even obasanjo said it while presenting Gbenga Daniel vs osoba.

2) You can't lead a rebellion and still partake in governance...he understands this rule, hence the godfather mantra..if tinubu should contest for any elective post, he is done for...

3)the principle of meritocracy as against democracy in party candidature is also his strong point.. forget the sharing of rice every week oooo, ACN is the party that gives you a chance based on competency and loyalty..no room for gerontocrats

i remember caravan telling elders in oyo at Drovans that ...... only dogs of this age can chase rabbits of this age...

aye wetie ti lo ooooo.. aye awon omowe ni a wa!!

hence present your sons and daughters that are educated..

And can hardly presents candidates without in-built back up plan, once u don't remit, no second term.

Tinbu matches pdp money for money, thug for thug and rigging for rigging..

he clearly marks his territory and makes his subjects believes that their view thus count..

like DK said, better candidate who has proven their mettle and thus always deliver...bobo fash and now..jimmy boy (yes jimi agbaje, forget all dos banire noise, the blueprint is on already).

finally, jagaban told ganiyu Solomon to forget minority leader and the former governor of benue was given the post to strengthen ACN in north central...that's how he operates..

and he knows his limit, and never forget the streets where majority of the votes come from...

hence he loves slogans...

Jeun soke!!! chop up..

eni to ba bawa jeun soke, a jeun sapo...
if u follow us chop up, u go chop for pocket..


Gba won sonu!!!
pinrin ko si oshi, ara won no oshi wa..

sloganeering for the streets, educated candidates for the elites..
rough politics for the opponents... recipe of a good opposition leader..

CORRECTAMUNDO,ori e pe, o wake up.

Sweetlemon: Can you imagine?! A whole president sending a jet to pick one man. As in see swagger!!!!
Wow!!!!!
I learnt something today. Which is that whatever you do, do it so well and so differently that you stand out fron your peers. Also, always learn the tricks/ropes of every game you play

Very smart of you, now rush to the nearest book shop and get yourself a copy of MY LIFE IN MAFIA, BY VINCENT THERESA.

May be the FG is owing them monthly allocations.

TouchDown: Asides among individuals (like the OP) who are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, the talk of de-amalgamation or break up is an unpopular one.

No Yoruba has the power to stop or influence a break-up as things stand.

Right now, we have an Ijaw President and for the first time since the 60s, a central set-up relatively dominated by Igbos, why aren't these people working assiduously towards breaking up the union?

When you guys are ready to get out of Nigeria, ORGANIZE YOURSELVES AND GET THE HELL OUT.
IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOUTH WEST TO DECLARE A REPUBLIC TO HELP YOU ACTUALIZE YOUR SECESSIONIST AMBITION, YOU ARE ON A LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNG THING.
Only dumb skulls will not see that the SW are already organized politically, we shall make ourselves as comfortable as possible in this country, we have come a long way since the era of regionalism, when the south west was moving at jet speed and some folks believed they are better equipped than us intellectually hence they should be managing our lives for us, when they failed they arranged and dismantled regionalism, fragmenting south west into smaller state in order to make sure we don't speak with one voice or have a sense of direction, out of sheer envy our developmental efforts were sabotaged, Yoruba had since ronu to chart a way forward for ourselves. AWON ARA WON, KI WON MA FUN RA WON L'OGUN JE.

RICHIE BOI: Jonathan should just be ready to either park out or jump out of Aso Rock.
He should be ready to fight a unified north in 2015.
the region should be allowed to conclude its eight years and anything short of that would not be acceptable.

The Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF) has sounded a warning to President Goodluck Jonathan, telling him that he would have to contend with a unified north should he insist on seeking another term in 2015.

NEF spokesman, Prof Ango Abdullahi, gave this warning yesterday in Kaduna during an exclusive interview with our correspondent.

Commenting on why the north is putting its act together in order to present a formidable team, Abdullahi said, “We are trying now to unify our people (northerners) that have been divided along ethnic and religious lines in the last two years.

And very soon you will hear the north talking from one platform.

“President Jonathan should just be ready to either park out or jump out of Aso Rock. He should be ready to fight a unified north in 2015.”

He further expressed the group’s belief that the insurgency in the north was being fuelled as a strategy to stigmatise the region.

“From all indications, the president has already stigmatised some parts of the country as being Boko Haram, and that everything about the violence in the north must be Boko Haram, but we know that the original Boko Haram by Mohammed Yusuf is not solely responsible for all the bombings that have been taking place.

“The Boko Haram syndrome may be a strategic plan to portray the north as morally unfit to rule; it is also a strategic plan to divide the country along north and south, or along religious and ethnic lines,” he said, adding that those behind such evil act would regret their actions in due time.

Abdullahi, a former vice chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zarai, further claimed that President Jonathan was always known as somebody who likes to take sides.

According to him, “Jonathan is only a theoretical president of Nigeria; but, practically, he has demonstrated that he is a president of a section of the country. He has always spoken in defence of his Niger Delta people. He is always fond of exonerating his people.

“You can see a president exonerating a criminal such as the October 1 bombings in 2010. He has also come out to say that Boko Haram has infiltrated his government, and that Boko Haram members are in his government, the Army, the Police and even in the Villa. This we know is a strategy to stigmatise any candidate from the north come 2015.”

On whether Jonathan should contest the 2015 presidential election, Abdullahi said, “Whether Jonathan is free to contest the 2015 election or not is the business of Bamagan Tukur; all we are hoping is that he is not speaking on behalf of the people of the north.

“If Bamagan Tukur is familiar with the history of zoning by his party since 1999, one would be surprised that Bamagan Tukur, who comes from this part of the country, is talking about Jonathan contesting election in 2015. But then, that is the business of the PDP.

The people of north would certainly take a decision to bring a consensus candidate come 2015.”
He further argued that the region should be allowed to conclude its eight years and anything short of that would not be acceptable.

“The north gave former President Olusegun Obasanjo his full eight years; it is only normal that the north should be allowed to conclude our eight years, started by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua,” he said.

On Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu’s insistence that President Jonathan had signed a one-term agreement, Abdullahi said that the governor’s revelation may be have emanated from the pressure being mounted on the governors by the northerners.

“Thank God, Babangida has revealed that there was a pact between the governors and Jonathan that they would support him in 2011 election on condition that he will only do one term.

It is now time for other northern governors to follow suit because there will be more pressure from northerners. They have to come together and listen to the voice of the people,” he added.

As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.

Billyonaire: I do not mind if the Igbos called it ethnic cleansing, it has happened so many times and they had largely been the victims.

I totally understand if this time there was a mistake and other tribes like Yorubas were also involved. This "I dont care" attitudes from the Western Elders is worrisome. I guess they think they are not the target of Boko Haram. But I want all to remember that, just as the Northern Oligarchs ignore or intentionally decided not to condemn and disown Boko Haram, their towns and cities have been bombed and destroyed.
One wonders if the Yorubas understand that their silence on the issues translates to an invitation on Boko Haram to invade the West. Little wonder Boko Haram decided to visit Lagos. But there is one thing I know for sure, Boko Haram will never visit the Niger Delta, because we of that extraction condemn it in strong terms, they wont find loyalists in our homes. Can I say the same about the West ? Your guess, is as good as mine.

YOU ARE FUNNY, let me ask you this simple question, have you seen the boko haram manifesto?, they want to rid the north of anything that is not Islamic, now if every Hausa man is supposedly a Muslim, the only thing that boko haram will have to remove will be southern Nigerians who are actually Christians, not necessarily Igbos.
If these southern Nigerian christians are firmly tucked in the east, west and south south region and boko haram come bombing, Nigeria won't be smiling again and i can assure you that boko haram will not bomb anything across the Niger, they know the game they are playing, this is a political war, not a religious war.
This is why no amount of condemnation from the leader of Igbos, Yorubas, and south south will stop boko haram, so let the federal government get up and do their job.

belovedaja: Oji isi nwanna aghu mmaya(he that drinks wine with the skull of his brother). And yet over 80% of those killed are igbos.
Tufiakwa

Relax bros, that man is making sense, for as long as the Igbos would want to live and work in Kano, they must continue to exploit peaceful means of sorting out their issues in Kano and be more security concious, the same thing applied to Yorubas and others tribes.
Picking up guns and fighting your host will only make the already volatile situation explode in everyone's face.
The other option available is relocation, which i believe some people rejected for reasons best known to them.

tomakint: You lost me there Ogbomosho G! Trust me the Igbos you love to hate are busy buying up your properties in Ogbomosho right before your eyes you are here making empty and aimless boasting, o ma se o

Which Ogbomosho are the Igbos buying up, when will you people stop deceiving yourselves?.
Don't boast of Igbos buying up Ogbomosho, just tell us that an Igbo man is now occupying SHOUN'S throne, ode, dumb skull.

Happy birthday baba wey soji, baba ti ko rindin politically, igba odun odun kan ni, God bless you sir, it is well with you in Jesus name.

eggheaders: and with all the stockpile of your ammo.they still strike you loud mouths like chickens.ain't sabon garri your stronghold where they strike your buses.I prefer my ancestors keeping me safe than with all the world war 2 stockpiles of ammo still targeted like fowls.loudmouthing runs in the dna of the inhabitant down the river niger.cowards then why all the shouts about y'all been exterminated for charity.

Now i have a better understanding of the proverb, ogbo ju agbara lo.
Ask the American soldiers that went to Vietnam, wisdom is an asset.

Wsdm: To carry gun against bomb attack?! The solution to all these mess is simple. If you feel unsecured in a certain environment, relocate to a safer one. Even the animal does this.

O boy i taya o, na buy force to live with mallah?. Pesin dey frustrate you for hin house you no gree commot, you no get home?.

Goddex: Tinubu is the most corrupt Nigerian alive.

Are you alright, don't drink and drive, speed kills.

seunfly: While i don't want to get into ACN vs PDP war because of some fanatics of both side on this site, but i must confess that in as much as Southwest is concern ACN is mile and sensibly ahead of pdp, pdp believe only in sharing the money, borrowing and sharing then rigging finaly. Even though ACN guys are not saint and they should even perform better because they are also miles away from standard governance, however they are 1000times better than pdp guys and i don't pray to have the kind of pdp guys that we have in Osun and Oyo again 4ever, Amen.

Hey u no dey fear, you wan make dis pdp goons drink your blood, let them continue to down play good efforts, anyone who envies and hate an acheiver will never amount to anything in life, this is a divine law.

Pataki: Open a thread about the developments your own state is undertaking and we can then compare notes whether your indolent local government chairman and state governor are in anyway functional.

I have been privileged to live across different states in Nigeria, privileged as well to be exposed to life abroad and I can say Amosun of Ogun State is giving a massive facelift to Ogun State.

Just yesterday night, I stepped out of my house to discuss with a friend. Right in my neighborhood, I saw a police patrol car moving around in my estate. This is in one of the newly donated police vehicles given by the state government to your PDP Federal Police. Safety of lives is gradually being restored in the State.

There is more the development of a State than gutters and roads and Amosun is clearly on the right part to ensuring that. Furthermore, I have noticed that Amosun's government is such that they listen to intellectual critics. So if you have something intellectual upstairs to contribute to the development of Ogun State, please log-on facebook. I can give you the name and personal facebook profile of his Special adviser on media and social networks.

Oyomesi, tell dem make dem hear, nonsensical baboons.

take dat: Isn't this a baseless accusation cos Tinubu was the only AC governor as at 2007, and Atiku the presidential flagbearer of AC won in Lagos state during the presidential election whereas Atiku could not win his own state? Ribadu on the other hand has never complained of being dumped cos he still remains a member of ACN unlike Atiku who left immediately after losing election! He is a confused fellow looking for whom to buck pass the reason behind his incessant failures.

No he is not confused, he is obsessed with Tinubu, he just can't live with the fact that Tinubu is making giant leaps politically while he Atiku is gradually and surely creeping into political oblivion.
Oga Atiku, perseverance pays, that's while Tinubu is as big as he is today politically, unlike you who was playing yo-yo politics, ACN today, PDP tomorrow.

Eyin baba e sempe, Nigerian politics has gone beyond the likes of Olu Falaye, he should respect himself.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]@topic

God forbid that Yoruba should camp tent with an IMPOTENT, COWARD tribe.

the civil war was an opportunity for ibo to face off with its oppressor, instead of heading north to the enemy territory where they were massacred they headed west and south, first planting a biafran flag in ijaw/ogoni land, then erecting another in midwest complete with a new ruler of ibo extraction. Were they really interested in ending their oppression and massacre in north or were they greedily seeking to occupy and own lands they have coveted for decades? They sabotaged their own cause.

Yoruba cannot afford to be on battlefield with these saboteurs.
pack of EFFEMINATE COWARDS!![/quote]My guy you soji well well, this is why the Yoruba elders resisted an attempt by Zik to become the premier of western region, Yoruba have a proverb that says oko kii je ti baba tomo, ko ma laa ala, you should understand what i mean.
Igbos love expansionism, they want to grab other people's land and lord themselves over others, a dream that can never come true, what Igbos don't know is that Yoruba knows Igbos inside out, Yoruba will never align themselves with Igbos, they will rather have a Nigeria or a Yoruba country.

7842I: Your messed up life is sweet to you, just like diya, thats why you ran away from the north and diya cried like a baby.

Yes you are right, i ran back to my home, home sweet home, unlike your folks who don't even have a home again. JUST LIKE IT WAS DONE FOR THE STATE OF ISRAEL, NIGERIANS NEED TO BEG THE UNITED NATIONS TO COME AND CREATE A HOMELAND IN IGBOLAND, AND BUILD A GREAT WALL OF CHINA OR SHOULD I SAY AN ELECTRIC BARBED WIRE AROUND THIS HOMELAND TO PREVENT IGBOS FROM ESCAPING TO CONSTITUTE THEMSELVES INTO NUISANCE IN OTHER PARTS OF NIGERIA.

Bobandgreat: [color=#000099][/color]

And what have u been able to defend. Postpone the doomsday. U will die a tribalist then. Mind u the plateau state u mentioned now are healing their wounds after resisting Islamisation by Hausa/Fulani. U pple can only postpone the doomsday but believe me it will come. Continue romancing with ur Masters.

As long as i don't have a non Yoruba man or woman in governorship, and other political positions in my region, i am well defended.

7842I: This is the kind of misinformation awolowo free education can buy, continue to wallow in abject ignorance. Oh, and I also heard that the reason why MKO was killed was because he subjected Abacha's wife and daughter to a round of marathon sexxx on Abacha's bedroom. How about that.

Did you say mis information, i heard it from the horses mouths having worked as a traveling sales rep in the north west. What are the Igbos still doing in the north by this period in Nigeria?, is Awolowo responsible for this too?, i left north in the advent of sharia law crisis, it took me two years to get another job, my life is more important than money, only the living celebrate, let the Igbos get the hell out of the north and stop whining.

inufele2: Rubbish! Why don't you start by condemning your blood thirsty leaders for their aggression and the killings of other sectional leaders? Why don't you blame them for attacking Yorubaland for their so called 'liberation' and the killings of many that resulted due to their greed?
Why don't you blame Ojukwu for dragging you into senseless war? Why don't you blame him for his inability to reach a compromise and swallow his pride to save many from starvation?
Why don't you demand an apology from Ojukwu for abandoning his people in the time if need only to come
back to wine and dine with the enemy? Did Ojukwu lose any if his properties after the civil war? He even got his military pension back, so what is his restitution to his people.
Until you people start to behave like adults and take responsibility for your action ss well as confront the enemy within no one will ever take you serious.

You nailed it, i tried to find out the reason for the slaughtering of the Igbos in the north before the civil war, and the answer i got was that after the murder of other regional leaders and allowing their own brothers to escape, Igbos went and print the pictures of Kaduna Nzeogwu and start selling it in the open markets in the north, boasting and telling the Hausas that Nzeogwu is the killer of Hausa fathers, this is like a salt on injuries. And so the Hausas were buying the pictures and keeping it waiting for the appropriate time to strike back. The Igbos brought trouble on themselves, the truth is that when am a visitor in your home you can treat me which ever way you like, but to treat me any how in my home will be some serious issues with heavy consequences. The tendency to always see others as fools to be taking for a ride will only bring trouble for the Igbos, let the Igbos learn to live in peace with other Nigerians simple.
Today Igbos are still in the north
