True Nigerian Hero....

Funny enough, your rag tag biafra rebels surrendered to OBJ


After he whooped your asssss to surrender...

You people have flawed and warped sense of history..

Jman06: Nobody expected you to like the thread since it was not singing praises of APC, Tinubu, Fashola, Buhari and their cohorts. However, your dislike for the thread does not change the facts contained therein . @Op, thanks for your thought provoking write up. After reading your post, i was relieved knowing that other Nigerians are actually not ignorant of the motives behind all the campaigns of calumny against Jonathan's administration,and which has tensed up the nation's political atmospher. It is only the politically naive that will not understand that all the conspiracies against Jonathan are due to the fact that his administration is changing the old order where some self serving politicians see themselves as demi gods that must rule while others serve. It will only be in the interests of our present and unborn generations if we the citizens of Nigeria rise in support of Jonathan's administration in his efforts to recover Nigeria from the strong holds of these cabals that are bent on milking the nation to death. A word is enough for the wise!

Just like the aso rock dullard, no substance and very very pointless.

Zik like many African rulers had a major character and integrity problem. At the root was his self-concept or self definition(the way one sees oneself). He saw himself in his own words as a "Beautiful Bride" for the highest bidder as well as indispensable. The former executive president of Nigeria, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, a mild mannered man captured it well when he told Zik during the 1979 election campaign: "when you switch husbands one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times, you are no longer a beautiful bride but a harlot." Zik was a weather vane-go where the favorable wind blows. A "Beautiful Bride" mindset is exactly the opposite of the leadership mindset. In 1954, the Sutton-Foster Inquiry found Zik's conduct below what was expected of an honest and honorable person. He also has Black neocolonial/elitist mentality like many African rulers and political class.

It's in the GENE aka DNA...

homesteady: Yea! He has his own different crowd! Noise makers with little things to show?

This is about KANO and their forward looking progress and bridge so try not to derail the thread.

[quote author=Nuzo']Some Nigerians can be very wicked and heartless! What sort of human beings are we?

Same idiots who hailed the mergence of CPC, ANPP and ACN as a great idea have all of a sudden turned around to condemn others for doing same.

Does it have to be about us and how we want things done all the time?
Should all the alternative to PDP be just Tinubu and Buhari?

This show of 'it must be me attitude" by some APC members and supporters is very regrettable.[/quote]It's a public forum where people express different opinions so get off that holy roller stool and quit crying..

DerideGull: You did get twisted out of human form when the bunch of losers formed APC.

PDP lost 5 governors and APC gaind 5 governors? So, who is losing and who is winning? This is assuming your old assss sabi simple math and not Oponuchukwu's Jang's Governors forum mathematics...



What a old asss dullard...

DerideGull: Those jokers that formed APC did so to be relevant at all cost too.

You are right, especially after poaching off 5 major governors away from GEJ and his crumbling PDP .

homesteady: You forgot to add oshiomole style

I didn't forget anything, he's not part of that crowd..

Kponkwem: They can initiate all the homongous projects so long as they freeload from south oil money. Their 1966-70 civil war victory gave them unfettered access to petro dollar that was never so in the era of Ahmadu Bello. And control of military and bureaucratic apparati. Gdluck to them on the new bridge.

Your mates dey progress, you sidon dey make rubbish nonsense about your stupid oil, the same oil that your own incompetent leaders in SS can not make good use of with all their derivations, NDDC. They can not even do the same thing this man in Kano is doing?

What are you building with your precious oil in SS? Nothing but stealing and stealing Alams style, Odili style, igbinedon style and ibori style..

GEJ errand boys masquerading as relevant and credible political parties... Bunch of losers.. shiooorrr

[quote author=IGBO-SON] (if the river Niger had been dredged since the early 70s, and the Onitsha river port was given all necessary for it to succeed, by now Onitsha - and the south eastern economy in general- would be even more thriving and dynamic than is presently the case); and i could go on and on ![/quote]

"You have remained a pillar of support for my administration; you have indeed given me greater support than any other ethnic group in the country. I want to also assure you that I will not take your support for granted.
"As you are aware, my administration has continued to make efforts towards addressing the marginalisation of the zone. We are already addressing the infrastructural deficit in the zone; the international airport has taken off and plans are underway to develop it as one of the major aerotropolis in the country. With the dredging of the River Niger and the award of contract for the second Niger Bridge , you can agree with me that the South-east can no longer remain the same," he said.

1. According to GEJ, he dredged the river port already so what dredging are you talking about? Was he lying?


2. According to GEJ, he awarded the contract for the 2nd Niger bridge already. So, what are you talking about? Was he lying? Of course he was lying and insulting you to your face because he did not award any contract.


Yo reap what you sow with your hateful and bigoted ways towards other people, with your associations and the caliber of people you pick to represent you based on tribalism and bigotry ....


Again, you reap what you sow.

Afam4eva: You may be right to an extent but i still think that's a good news. Any replacement that means that the old political guns like OBJ, IBB et al being made politically irrelevant is good news in my opinion. These are the few people who have held us by the jugular and exterminating them from poltical relevance will portend a paradigm shift will be consolidated by future president. Whichever way you look at it, it's still a step in the right direction.

And who are the new players he's shifting to? Maku, Gulak, Oduah, Obi and all the other corrupt clowns he's saddling us with? Just who are they and shift to where exactly?


I was expecting a serious thread, but obliviously as usual, this is another pointless comedic thread with zero honesty and substance......

Policewoman: These yoruba kids making mouth here always refer to Lagos whenever siting any example. If i may ask, is it only in Lagos a former federal capital that there are bridges? If yes, then that means odua republic cannot survive without lagos. SS can do without PH and SE can also as well do without Onitsha.

And what's this ignorant and bigoted rant got to do with the crumbling bridge?

awodman: My sentiments exactly...he is not the best I would want as the president of this country,but he represents a paradigm shift,a break from the old order...

To even worst order....

Afam4eva: The title of this thread will come as a rude shock to a lot of people considering the fact that i'm neither a sycophant

Is this a cruel joke? I almost stopped reading...








[s]nor a paid agent of Jonathan and what i'm about to say here is not necessarily related to developmental strides of Jonathan which is not obvious to a lot of us. I won't join the bandwagon of those folks who keep telling us how Jonathan has changed Nigeria in his short stay as president. Jonathan is not a saint and has not lived up to the expectations of majority of Nigerians but neither did our past leaders including Obasanjo. But if there's one reason why i will want Jonathan to continue as our president, it's due to the fact that him being a present presents us with a new political dimension from what we've had for decades now. Ordinarily, someone of Jonathan's caliber would not have mounted the exalted seat of the presidency if not for the fat that befell his former boss, Yaradua. When Yaradua was presented to Nigerians, those that chose him wanted a vice president for him and they wanted someone that would be seen but not heard. They needed someone who would do their bidding without asking questions. They had the opportunity of presenting the likes of Donal Duke, Peter Odilli who were more more popular as far as that region was concerned but instead they went for a Jonathan who was the governor of a Bayelsa state and who didn't exactly have the political clout as he got to that seat due to what befell his oga at that time. So, we were presented with Jonathan and many of us top he would remain a figure head under Yaradua but as fate could have it, Yaradua died and Jonathan had to fill that void. I'm not sure this is what the political heavyweights or the cabals who put him there were expecting. They had a game plan and Jonathan becoming Nigeria's president couldn't have been part of the plan. The political atmosphere was boiling as at when Yaradua died and those in power were hesitating to give Jonathan the full powers to take up from where Yaradua stopped and that was because Jonathan did not belong to that caucus of political leaders who had held the nation to ransom and they knew Jonathan could squash their plans. When they eventually gave Jonathan the power to become a substantive president, a lot of people were expecting him to cause a political revolution and this was what necessitated the protests by civil society groups for him to be made the substantive president. Some months after Jonathan was made the president, a lot of people were disappointed cos it seemed Jonathan was going the way of his predecessors and a lot of people called him a weak and ball-less president cos he was very slow at making decisions and they felt he was receiving order from God knows where. Over the years, i have watched Jonathan grow in confidence and it can be seen even in his boldness when being interviewed on TV. Today, Jonathan has become more bold by the day and it seems to be that he has started making decisions independent of those cabals that put him there. I think this is the first step of moving away from the status quo. We have seen the ramblings in the letter that OBJ wrote Jonathan. We have also heard the likes of IBB, Atiku and other elder statesmen calling for the head of Jonathan. We have also seen people who we thought inherited PDP from their father moving over to the opposition party. I think this calls for celebration because when Satan criticizes someone then that person must be doing something right. Jonathan may not be the best leader we can have. Far from it. But i think he represents a paradigm shift from the status quo that has been molded by the cabals who have held this nation to ransome since 1970[/s].[/quote]This emotional and sentimental essay didn't address the country's problems and his inability to fix the problems...

Corruption is raging out of control and he's yet to lift a finger or do anything about it


1. Insecurity
2. Corruption
3. Institutional incompetency and unrest
4. Oil theft
5. Subsidy scam
6. Pension scam
7. Fraternization with crooks and corrupt people
8. Pardoning convicted felons and international fugitives
9. Filling top government positions with crooks and corrupt people still under efcc investigation
10. Encouraging tribalism and religious bigotry
11. Promoting unrests and instability
12. NNPC fraud
13. Oduah gate

>>>>>>>>>>>>>the list goes on.


He remains the worst president ever...

kettykin: The date shows 2011 meanwhile the road is till very bad and a risk to travellers

Thanks for the magical revelation, you are specially gifted...

Obviously not a begging state....
Kano o ni baje o..

pazienza: True, on a personal and ideal level, a president of Nigeria has nothing to offer to offer to anybody, not even his people, but on a closer look, for a tribally and ethnically charged atmosphere we have in Nigeria, that's not entirely true.

An Obj wouldn't have easily sanctioned the cold murder of Abeokuta people like he did in Odi, just at the command of his colonial masters, An Efik president wouldn't have been too eager to give away bakassi like a yoruba president did, an Igbo finance minister wouldn't have sanctioned starvation policy on biafra as easily as a Yoruba finance minister did. I can go on and on.

Nigeria is a building about to collapse, we are all waiting for it's fall, but at the moment, all groups are trying to make sure they make it out of that building in one piece, and who ever is the president of Nigeria is going to play a big role in deciding if your group comes out in one piece. Nigeria is never going to be a united progressive country.


I mean, the current administration had done more fore SE than all the Yoruba/hausa-fulani administrations had done in last four decades, and if allowed to take over again, they wouldn't do better, leopard doesn't change it's spots.

What's this got to do with this about to collapse bridge?

squaddy: Jobless, frustrated, hating, miserable yorubas...we are not the cause of your perpetual poverty and hating us would only make us achieve more feats...all you can do is back bite and bicker...looking around we all can see for ourselves that the ibos are thriving while the yorubas are feeding from the remains on our table....phucking tribalistic bigots...I'm out of here so don't bother quoting me cuz I won't see your irrelevant replies #unfollows#

lol and smh..

joeyfire: Eko Ile

Based on your point why is the SW waiting for the FG to fix the Lagos - Ibadan expressway? Abi are they lazy and incompetent?

The SW didn't beg anybody, we instead fought to take away the road from them and the same road is under construction as we speak through direct government contract while after 30 years of begging, 2nd Niger bridge is still a mirage. This really should be your main concern and not some irrelevant issues in the SW.

Try again.

pazienza: And what exactly had the past yoruba and northern presidents done to build a second Niger bridge? They had 4 decades, yet nothing. So, just go and park one side.

1. Unfortunately for you and your tribal worries, the FG is incompetent and the president's region/tribe makes no difference.

2. You mean the current admin shouldn't do anything about this bridge and prevent needless deaths simply because the previous ones did not do anything?

3. Me parking well is not going to build this bridge or prevent it bridge from collapsing (God forbid)


Try again.....

Billyonaire: Thats the point, Nairaland.com, Yes, just like the 45% Biafran Lagosians invaded Lagos and took over 67% of the assets of Lagos. We are invading Nairaland and taking it over.

You gave us a voice, and we sound louder than you. You asked for it, you get it.

This is Billyonaire, although not, Igbo...my grandparents are. And Igbo DNA is part of me. Every household in Biafra has a millionaire.

Ponder on this:

Enugu, Onitsha, Aba, Uyo, Calabar, Owerri <<============>> Lagos, Lagos, Lagos, Lagos.

Biafran Lagosians own more towns than the SW with just Lagos , and guess what ? 45% Biafran Lagosians also own 67% of the assets of Lagos

Eko Ni Gbaje ooooo

Even in serious threads, we do need and enjoy a little comedy relief by comedians and jesters like you every now and then.

Billyonaire: Not at all. All I know for sure is, if GEJ is in Aso Rock till 2019, Igbos will be the richest Tribe in Nigeria, because GEJ will make sure all shipments go to Onitsha via River Niger which has already been awarded to Julius Berger.

Guess who are the major importers in the whole of Nigeria ? Igbos

And when the whole containers berth at Onitsha, then Apapa will be a ghost Town.

That will mean the birth of Biafra. Shipments at Onitsha and Deep Sea Port at Akwa Ibom, International Airport at Enugu and Lagos will be living in past Glory..


You asked for it, you get it. GEJ 2019 means liberation of Biafrans.

lmao....

Billyonaire: [s]I am smelling Eko Ilee, the incarnate pig now called Agbameta, the LASTMA official, and stunch Yoruba tribalist on an Igbo thread.

What is he phucking doing here ? He wants to come and tell the Igbos that GEJ hasnt done enough for them ? Yes, we already know that. He will do more, afterall, within 3 yrs, he has done more for Igbos than any other President in the past 50 something years.

Real Igbos Love GEJ, any other trait dont matter.[/s]

This is Nairaland.com, not ibo.com. Now please get lost, I'm not into smelling ignorant billygoats..

phantom: sorry not entertaining dregs today.try tomorrow.

Thanks for that good and quick decision because I have more from where that came from...

phantom: revolt i agree! But lets not expect it always.the rest of the country knows that a level playing ground will favour the igbos.fact! And thats why they are screaming blue murder now.so once jonathan leaves do we wait another fifty years to luckily get another level playing ground? Lets look inward.thats my point.

We've had igbo president

ibo head of state

ibo vice president

We have ibo ministers

ibo governors

ibo perm secs

ibo SFGs

ibo agency directors

ibo sentaors

ibo reps

ibo ambasadors

ibo are the dominant players and well represented in the current administration way more than any other region in Nigeria and even in the history of Nigeria

The current president and administration is your best friend over the other regions in Nigeria

What federal position from president downwards ibo people have not occupied in Nigeria?

So how level do you want this field?

The field is not only level in your favor, it's grossly lopsided in your favor and the fact that you are not reaping the benefits has nothing to do with the size or shape of the field but more with the fact that the folks you have representing you are incompetent and don't know how to send home the bacon and dividends of their esteemed offices and appointments or basically just looking after their own interests and not yours...


When are you people going to drop this pointless victim mentality and just face the truth and reality.
