PhysicsQED: I don't understand how this is even a thread, or on the front page. Buhari is talking about dogs, baboons, lions, tigers and bears like a parable giver, but GEJ is addressing reality and talking like a human being in plain English yet sophists are straining to make his words have whatever meaning they want them to. Ridiculous.

Is it right for the president of the country to make such a statement??

What happened to the qualities of a good leader, who should lead by example?

Dude, do not be in any doubt; whenever we hold the meeting, it wouldn't be something the elite that keep your people down as almajiri's will be able to influence. It will be a people to people, heart to heart, almajiri to area boy, fisherman to cattle rearer, hunter to farmer discussion.
Single word, "people." cool

You can claim not to be bitter, but you sound it. Many Southerners too are bitter, the Middle Belt is bitter, the ND is bitter, the SE is bitter. Why pretend?
It is best to talk before bitterness explodes. It is the mature approach to problem solving. Even if we part, why should we be like India and Pakistan, always at war? Do you know both countries where once one?

we r not india and pakistan, and when we go, trust me i will want nothing to do with ya region, to prove it to you i'll export my almajiri stuff through cotonou or lome grin grin grin grin we are tired of meetings we want actions. period

besides everything under GEJ is bound to fail!! tongue grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Not really. As I said earlier, I read your post and it came out to me that you know just a little about Nigeria but tried to bulk your "knowledge" with Pan-African ideology (which does not apply to Nigeria, you better believe that). Well beauty, Nigeria is more complex than you think. . . . I'll leave it at that so as not to derail the thread!

Really complex walahi!
With all these drama sef!

Nigeria is a country in a million!

Sometimes, there wont be a way forward if there is no argument.
And we all learn from this always!

But, they shld be constructive ones!

I have always criticised ALL GOVERNMENT constructively viewing that we are all Nigerian and we are equal in all respect. In fact immediately GEJ won the election. As a patriotic Nigerian that views everyone as equals I jumped ship to support my New president and leader of my country. I was and still against ACN (Even Beaf can attest to that) because I view them the same.

The change started just like many posters here on Nairaland during the fuel subsidy Beaf unleashed the most hateful bigoted statement ever by calling others leeches. Insult those that don't show undying support to GEJ etc.

That sir I cannot accept. From your name, Ayo I guess you are from the west. If right Beaf sees you are a parasite. fact !

Haba GEJ was right. There is nothing tresonable about the statement.

Maybe not treasonable but clearly some one in his office should not spread that sort of sentiment. Like I said earlier in the Military of most countries's you will be kicked out for that statement and any leader of a civilsed country who aired these kind of sentiments would be forced to resign.

Take the US for example, if Obama said the aquistion of Texas was a mistake all because they don't support gay marriage, he'd be on the first plane back to Nairobi before I could say Jack Robinson.

We never do things right in Nigeria and that has always been our problem.

Oh and like I said before, I agree the amalgamation was a mistake.

Based on who we are?
LMAO!! grin You are the same one who said JAMAICANS ARE AFRICANS and got mad when I said I was JAMAICAN AND BLACK AMERICAN...YOU TOLD ME TO NEVER FORGET WHERE I CAME FROM, and now AFTER having been schooled you are flipping the script. I came from Africa and must not forget but I am not to offer my opinions? If the Yoruba and Igbo are not the same as according to you, THEN YOU CANNOT SUPPORT THE IDEOLOGY OF BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS IS ABOUT BLACK AWARENESS AND ULTIMATELY UNITING THE RACE! H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E cool

Black consciousness is not about uniting the black race - it's about solving Africa's problems based on a AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE... What don't you understand about that You're African doesn't mean you're Nigerian - can you peep the difference?? Offer your opinions on threads about Africa, not Nigeria's national issues.. This is about Nigerians - just the same way I can't badge into Jamaica's national issues... We need to solve Nigeria's problems before thinking about unity in Africa - our house is burning!!

What you are is YORUBA-CENTRIC...not Afro. Centric.
You could careless about Africa at large, you only care about what is best for your tribe...Considering my original post I NOW SEE why you are mad. cool

You're retard/ed grin Call it whatever you want to call - but Yoruba culture is what's inborn inside of me, and what I was raised on - and that's what would definitely be my outlook to life... And the last time I checked, Yoruba is in Africa. cheesy

Post the statement here. Our Presido is questioning the territorial integrity of Nigeria and you are defending it. By the Oath sworn by Jonathan, it is Treason for him to make that statement. If he wants to become an activist, he should stem aside. But as President, his job is to solve the problem.

I see what you mean but we need to see things from him point of view as well. GEJ was talking in terms of the problem from 1914 that are still facing this nation for example his statement was an anology of the "South must produce president" "North must produce that"

You see, he is talking in terms of North and south division.

Its the unfortunate reality of todays Nigeria where politicians who thrive on the status quo of chaos, see quick win personal gain in fanning the embers of our disunity (even if it means innocent deaths); they call think their primitive approach "opposition." Naturally anyone who wants to forge a real unity is their mortal enemy.

The only way we can ever have a real unity is if we sit down and talk. Why are some scared shiitless of the prospect?

I am making no assumptions. Although if I make any assumption then I guess I have a right to make such giving the fact that you are interested in Nigeria politics and also biased towards the east most especially the "Igbo people".

You don't want to talk, because you are scared stiff. I understand.
But it won't be for you to decide when the time comes, cos 99.99% of the country wants to talk and forge a structured way forward.
