God decided to punish Nigerians this time because many promoted Buhari and started worshiping him. Thus their only hope for development, progress and even existence hung on him. Having won the election, God decided to keep wisdom away from Buhari, thus he became 'mad'.
Until we learn to see that man is mortal and fallible, we will continue to repeat same mistake over and over again.
Ngokafor: ...Magu the incompetent,corrupt and inept Maga....You and your 'Oga London' can only deceive your zombie supporters with your clownish 'Corruption fight',not people like me.
..You are fighting corruption yet the level of official looting by your hauasa-muslims kith and kin is second to none as we speak..Besides what is the connection between boko-haram you guys formed in the north to oust Jonathan and Biafran agitation??..or you think the average Nigerian is as silly as your zombie supporters?
..My official trip to Abuja has opened my eyes to cess-pit Nigeria has sunk into with buhari/apc in power...The looting going in Abuja is more than that of Jonathan's admin,but reserved exclusively for Hausa-fulanis and muslims.They are looting the treasury per second but its not considered as stealing or corruption until a Southern non-muslim does same...All these are happening while Southerners scramble for scrumbs at best or look on helplessly at worst.
..Nigeria is at cross-roads indeed.
PDP liar. Where is the looting going in in Abuja and what do you mean by southerners scrambling for crumbs? You guys are just steeped in corruption. Even the way you have written it shows a typical Nigerian acceptance of some inevitability of corruption and just a desire to get a piece of the action.
The article is not from the paper. It is an op ed written by a fellow Nigerian from the SE. Young people should get realistic and look for work to do. Nigeria is not going into another civil war and the country won't break up. Stop nonsense
Pavarottii: Well OP is not everybody that fights about politicians ooo. Except u do. Am a strong supporter of GEJ so it's tilts me to PDP. I av APC guys in my office that we argue a lot and all. We argue constructively and still go to club together, pass girls to each other, drink together and help each other where we can.
So I think it's majority of the uneducated that takes it to chest sha. So am not surprised seeing dis picture. Do u expect our DISTINGUISHED political elites to fight wen they see each other. Is u that will still say they are thugs and not meant to hold positions . So Nofn wrong as long as u still stand with Ur views and don't have any political alliance with Ur opposition.
How could anyone support GEJ in this country? smh People don't think at all sha
This is highly supported. Social media should be done with sense of responsibility. There are curbs coming even from platforms themselves. Very soon you will post something on Twitter or Facebook and it takes about 15 seconds to show, when it shows a small meter will pop up near it to indicate whether or not you may be lying. When it shows possibility of lying you become exposed to spending time in a dirty prison for libel and trying to destroy someone's reputation on social media. The Bible even rates lying that damages someone's reputation as murder. The law calls it character assasination
abiodunalasa: Restructuring : Yes !!! More Power to the State Govts : No ! Creating more parasite States : No ! More Money to State Govts : No !
More Power to the Local Govts : Yes !!! Creating more Local Govts : Yes !!! More money to Local Govts : Absolutely Yes !!!
Period. Full stop!
At least you have the idea. Keep it up. Some people on Nairaland are Abobakus ..only in life to actualize the ambitions of corrupt politicians to government houses or Aso Rock. They will never talk about empowering LGAs
fiizznation: Lol. Anyway is a good thing that this buhari administration threw that rubbish report in the dustbin.
What do you expect from Goodluck Jonathan confab. That man is the most conservative, dullest and un inspiring politician alive and to have expected his Presidency to do a radical re jigging of Nigeria confirms the truth that a lot of people are dunces...they project their expectations on a public figure even when the reality about those guys says otherwise.
fistonati: While Nigeria's President called Nigerians criminals outside the country.
Nigerians stand firm, no matter what.
Many Nigerians are also criminals. A lot of the young men are cultists but most Young people are Evangelical Christians and devout MuslimS. Buhari does not tell lies if he can help it. They have kidnapped and scammed many people I know in Nigeria and money rituals are many. You have to take the good with the bbsd but no telling lies.
These guys are destroying themselves daily. Please wait and see what becomes of this IPOB and Biafra nonsense. It will be like a movie. God will NOT be mocked.
Rivers State has allowed PDP degeneracy to wreck their lives. Cultism and kidnapping is now the order of day. I don't want to argue Wike or Amechi but the people of this state will pay dearly for generations. Pls watch and see. There is no use arguing over an impending self imposed evil. It will happen
What about Fulani and Kanuri?. I am still looking for the first Ibo suicide bomber. Not likely because they are unprincipled, never idealistic and they like money . Ojukwu was afraid of death the same way the Nzeogwu coup Majors lacked the heart to shoot their own leaders which led to all the problems in Nigeria now. All the BS going on in social media to defend LIES and give false confidence to a tribe that still feels defeated.
The stories about Ibo slave resistance is hogwash. All west African ethnic nationalities resisted slavery and many from all tribes jumped into the Atlantic ocean to prevent slavery. The question always was how did they get to become slaves in the first place?. Treachery, inter tribal wars, trickish traditional priests, Aro long juju ...whatever, the fact remains that heroism in slavery is heroism after the fact of the opposite status to freedom and honour.
People should shut up and get to work developing instead of hyping the past
marv1: That is what you can get from the leadership of Saraki. He has no conscience. He has been a thief and he is leading s group of thieves. Saraki has never worked for the good of this country but his pocket always pretend as if he is innocent.
Odunayaw: The JF-17 deal was with the Paks heaven knows why (maybe a payback for friendship). The best my little head can place this delay of delivery on is lack of pressure on our part
At d same time..I wish we dealt with the Chinese directly I had so much in store for that bird & our fledgling industry
Modified: Do you think,say 2hardpoints can b added to block 3
@Kikuyu when next you mention my country ..It is Nigeria & not Naij Thanks
I put it to you there is no delay after a possible change to 2-seater aircraft. We signed a contract and are buying a package. It is not jankara market. Hardware centric thinking is dangerous. It is not when you have a car parked in your garage that you have bought the car.
hornyofife: Actually, both the yorubas and the hausas territories had been conquered as at 1800, the igbos were yet to be taken over hence, they were not yet included in the map. The igbo territories were the last to be subdued of all Britain colonial territory of Nigeria. Part of why they dislike the igbos because the igbos were stubborn and hard to crack..It took Britain 40yrs to subdue the igboland totally
This is very big LIE. Look at the Church history of South Eastern Nigeria it tells of the dates of European history which predated colonialism.
Why is everybody repeating what everyone knows?. Oshiomole should shut up. That Jonathan is one of the dullest Nigerian politicians is well accepted. The point is PDP should not have fielded him after Yaradua's term expired.
Why are Nigerians so stupid?. Please take down this trash. Use your brains. It is not easy but use it. The total capital expenditure spent in the SS, SE and SW by government and private sector in the last 10 years have been more than Nigeria's entire budgets since independence
If you vote even N1 trillion for the North East , it increases overall Nigerian GDP. More than half of the steel will be supplied by Ibo businessmen. The engineering work in terms of jobs goes to SW, SE and SS.
You guys are delivering big curses to your heads and jeopardizing you future if you follows those politicians who have robbed your future into playing divisive politics.
Also stop being cowardly and telling lies. You say the North is underdeveloped yet you complain when things are done to correct it. You need intellect in life when you are educated and intellect works best with objectivity and the hardness of mind to accept truth otherwise you are just a sentimental weak minded effeminate being.
nemesis2u: the wings will need strengthening and redesign to sport pylons and weapons load
another option convert it into a gunship , expand door on either side to mount high caliber minigun/gatling gun and a EO pod underneath the fuselage . much easier , bare minimum changes structurally.
can then use the platform for transport as well as offensive/recon duties by just adding/removing the guns.
It is not that simple. You need to know the slow and low flying characteristics first.
