dayokanu: Ability to think is a gift which many of you are deprived of.

The moral of the last post is there is nothing like a Leader or follower in an anonymous forum.

One of the posters you call katsumotos followers might actually be his uncle who feeds him, Dayokanu might be the next door neighbour of Gbawe who live in the same housing estate and take the same BRT to hustle, Odumchi might be the son of Abagworo and Negronts might be the employer of hanakai

So calling one person an online leader or follower is inherently silly especially in an anonymous online forum

dayokanu: You know some people derive their importance and sense of belonging in an anonymous forum.

Leaders and followers on a forum when the Poster sexkillz might be a 12yr old Secondary school boy and Okijajuju might be a teenage girl?

Katsumoto: Followers in an anonymous online forum !!!! Don't project your self-esteem issues on others. That you are looking for leaders on NL doesn't mean others are too.

Katsumoto: Its not your role to use your office to decide what is uncouth and what isn't. As long as rules are not broken, then you shouldn't make it an issue. Besides, not every stakeholder is able to articulate his grievances in a manner that you wouldn't find uncouth. Should that stop them from airing their grievances? In any case, you can't argue that GEJ or his supporters are capable of understanding and receiving constructive criticisms. Nothing in his or their actions so far demonstrates this ability. Have you tried giving constructive criticism to an area boy? How receptive do you think he would be?

Obama faces far more insults despite the fact that he is a more competent administrator than GEJ. He is wise enough to know that he can't be liked by everyone and the US civil service isn't responding to every insult on the Internet except those that are considered threatening.

Let this issue rest - stakeholders have the right to insult anyone who puts himself/herself forward for leadership. That is the rule. If GEJ is not ready for insults, then he should resign. If he wants lesser insults, as there will always be insults, then he should start performing. Resistance to his leadership will reduce with better administration on his part. Would it matter if 100 people out of 160 million were insulting GEJ? NO

gluv01: Add yours from any part of the country, let's know how good we are in pidgin.

thoth: 9/11 happened in USA , USA sponsored and armed the extremist that destroyed Libya, USA sponsored and armed the same extremist that is trying to destroy Syria, killing priest christians, women and children, the same arms that they supplied is what is used on US here in Nigeria. Don't be suprised that in the future the USA will openly support Boko Haram.
Nothing on earth is equal and there is no sort of equality between nations, europe is a puppet of USA no matter the face they put up. Other countries are .... well puppets or rogues.

Bj5all: have u been bitten by the snake b4, how do u know the snake is not poisonous? most snakes have venom and pls don't risk ur life on some baseless belief and tradition

emmygod: Enugu state is more civilized in south eastern part of Nigeria. when i was serving in udi, the people have no reverence to deity ot totem. The town Ukana re not worshipping anything. nighty nine percent of them re predominantly christian. Unlike other neigbouring state like Anambra they still pay homage to python chinua achebe describe in his book the arrow of god. Deity re still respected. My visi to Ngwa land in abia state shows that there re not pegans.There customs re civilized.

Sam xiu lee: at no point in time did yorubas called for one Nigeria,what they advocated for was fiscal federalism,resource control.Nnamdi Azikwe was the champion of one Nigeria.

The figure from the top quote is absurd and is off by 1 trillion Naira. $10bn per month will mean annual revenues of $120bn which is not remotely plausible.

alj harem: if you don't mind me answering the question

How are yorubas clinging to one Nigeria. Is GEJ now a yorubaman ?

THE COAS Yoruba ? These people can break the country if they so wish.

Is there any Yorubaman in power ? Please answer why not talk to you leaders

or is the founder of this country Nnamdi now Yoruba ?

Rhino.5dm:
Why is the self acclaimed most industrious fellows lagging behind boko haram states? Shameless Parasites!!

thoth: there is something that is called Post-factor analysis. It is the analysis of a group and what they might become in the future if they achieve their aim. Believe before any capitalist nation or company engage you in such transaction they must have done a Pf on you in order to find out how useful you will still be after the war, believe me if they ever perceive one way or another that you will not continue to be exploited after the war, that you will not become a puppet state for them, that you will not allow them the total unhinged freedom to pillage you they will not choose to support you. Before you start thinking of how you might convince them let me inform you that is a Pf is done independent of what you said or promised and 80% of data used is gotten from events and general perception of the target group before the event(war) that instigated the need. So if a Pf is done for example on nigeria no south south or south east group will ever be supported since it is very unlikely that these groups will be stupid enough to allow themselves to exploited once they have achieved their goal, secondly the high unpredictability of these group also makes it a bad choice. It is all about business.

raystanley: your dumb country that is not ashamed, that the aid bodies have to be doing everything for you people to live, yet evrything get worsen... Wait for them to come and feed you in your mouth before you stand and fight for your right. Dumb people...

sobaemma: Abroad the best idea for surgery,but can this be done?the same chest,probably the same heart and stomach,na prayers o

thoth: The capitalist will work with anybody that Controls the oil fields, that is one silly mistake africans make. In congo they went for Mobutu and they funded him till he took over the oil fields, in Somalia they funded the Puntland regiments to take over the oil field, In angola they went for the guys that controled the oil Producing areas.

DURING THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR THEY WENT FOR THE GROUP THAT GURANTEES FREE FLOW OF OIL NOT THE PEOPLE THAT OWNS THE LAND OR EVEN THE PEOPLE THET ARE ON IT FOR ALMOST 18 MONTHS. Now what do you think ?

Doff_Man: More like bribing an alcoholic with alcohol to stop drinking

thoth: It does not work that way, a capitalist only thinks about the cost of Operations, and if that cost is more lesser than getting from middle east then they will go to the end of the world to get it. when hell breaks loose in Nigeria the government or anybody that is controlling the oil fields will be willing to sell oil at less than $20 per barrel as long as that guarantees inflow of weapons because he knows that attaining his goal depends on it, being alive depends on it, the moral of his soldiers depends on having enough good weapons and excess ammunitions , to make it worse those vampire nations will propose to whomever controls the oil fields deals they could make if he wins the war......then there you have a knot.

No capitalist Chinese or American would ignore the opportunity to make big bucks for little sweat.

Abagworo: Enugu is lucky to be on a hill just like Owerri and that is why the roads last. Thickness of tar or stone base does not guarantee longevity it is mainly soil type, drainage and terrain. The way roads are constructed in Rivers State is the only way roads can last on a flat and muddy terrain. You first dig out at least 8ft of top soil and refill with sharp/white sand for a start.

ndu_chucks: In a way, the effect of this zero demand for Nigeria's oil by the USA, is over exaggerated by the OP and others. The Chinese are more than ready to replace the US as the primary importer of Nigeria's oil.

If people are planning to breakup Nigeria anytime soon, they should be prepared to fight against the great Nigerian Armed forces and sophisticated Chinese weapons of war.
