If Awolowo and Anthony Enahoro could be charge for treason in the first republic for a similar statement - I think it's treasonable under the Nigerian law IMHO...


It seems you and I are of the same age bracket and some of the folks here may not even know who Anthony Enahoro was so they wouldnt know when he was charged for treason for making a similar statement.

I think the OP said it's treasonable because the polity is hot right now - and the president of the country shouldn't make that type of statement, when everyone is clamouring for disintegration... It's just like adding fuel to fire IMO...

The president has also shown that he doesn't really think before he speaks.. Statements like that would only heat up the polity IMO.

You're blessed!

Why are the lovers of the status quo scared shiitless at the prospect of the re-engineering of our unity?
Why does it freeze the brains of the parasites and boko haram fans amongst us?
Why does the mention of 1914 make some pee themselves? Just asking. grin

Porky just to test your intelligence..... you said the british used divide and rule tactics. Could you possibly explain what their divide and rule tactic meant and how they were able to do this? If you cannot answer this then you do not deserve to be on this forum and should be kicked out. Your monotony is sickening.

If president Obama expressed doubt after the 13 Unions that gradually formed USA today, Congress, unianimously would have asked him to resign

hm . . . but this president expressing doubts in the creation of this country(this country was formed from the amalgamation of the south and north) is not enough to call for his resignation? just curious!

Do you actually expect the British would have complained about their divide and rule tactics. You are daft, bro.
Come home and learn about your village instead of reciting crap you learnt in your British school. You are lost and without an identity, you believe whites are better than you, so how can you even understand 1914?

Dude, 1914 is about discussing identity, which you sadly lack. Learn where your village is first before making a fool of yourself and asking daft questions.

You're a dimwit!!! How the hell would I feel a whitey is superior to me when my life is ingrained in my African culture?? Olodo!!!

Yes, the Brits didn't complain because that was what they wanted, and they benefited from it...

Nigeria had a chance to choose what it wanted in 1959 - but why did our founding fathers choose Nigeria??

Southern Cameroon saw into the future, and opted out... We all could have done the same, so stop blaming 1914... The problem started in 1959, at the London conference...

It doesn't matter if that's what the president said in the present Nigeria. What counts is if it's true.

That amalgamation is one of the greatest fraud on earth by those running "Project Nigeria", ok.

Have u ever bothered to ask urself or imagine / anticipate how developed some part of the particle termed Nigeria would have been should they be existing as different nations since 1914?

GEJ has made too many blunders, and it shows he's not intelligent....

Didn't the same guy say boko haram was part of his government??

The guy is too timid, inarticulate, unintelligent, and unpragmatic to be the president of Nigeria, period.

Whether or not he is good is for us to decide after his tenure.

For now, we can only criticise him (Constructive criticism) and hope he does well for Nigeria.

At the end of the day, his failure as a president is also Nigerian's failure as a country

Brother, the future is now - we have the chance now that polity is heated to make a lasting change, and we need to do it now.. We can't wait for something - a FAILURE like GEJ can never deliver... We need to continue to pressurize his timid mind to give us what we want... People are dying, brother... We need to act!!

You have always said white people are superior to you, its happened over and over on threads all over NL. It is that same low self-esteem that is scaring you shiitless at the mention of 1914.
You will keep asking stup!d questions, because your only identity is peckham and you have not seen fit to come home and know your village.

You don't count, thrash around as you like, a man without an identity is a waste to his country. Phuck off and fly the Union Jack.

Madam Kobo, I did not say our president expressed doubt in the creation but "AFTER" the creation, there's a huge difference - Read my previous post. Yes, Congress can ask the President to resign for just about any reason, so if NASS wants to ask him to resign due to unguarded comments such as this, I won't be surprised.

Like I've ALWAYS stated, Mr. President mad unguarded, unwanted and unwarranted comments, it's highly uncalled for because these types of issues cause chaos, however, I'm of the opinion that he's comments did not constitute treason.

Simple. I don't understand why anybody should be scared to hear the truth.
People can only be scared because thery have something to hide.

Many of those screaming are the sons of parasites and sponsors of boko haram who will fight biterly to ensure that the country never progresses, because progress dries up their sources of blood money.
More than anything, they do not wish that the common man gains knowledge, because it means they become equipped to throw off the parasites, vultures, dogs and baboons.

We need to talk about our shared existence for equity to reign.

I guess since I do not see the word "AFTER" (neither do I think it is implied)in the statement made by the president, then we might as well not be addressing the same statement so no point going forward then. Ignore the question then.

From the article, it said

something must have gone wrong along the line from 1914 when the Southern and Northern Protectorate amalgamated till date, stressing that the problem of Nigeria did not start today.

That's was the after the amalgamation, but anyway, I've ignored the question ... thank you
