xpac01:
He has visited Imo bro.

when?

Buhari has not visited southern nigeria since inauguration but has travelled the world and visited many northern states severally

fulanimafia:
Jonathan took 6 weeks

in which we had ministers.

^^^Nice photo of a Dullard.

wrong headline: nowhere did he say to stop attacking buhari.
Instead he asks that buhari be prayed for as you would pray for a sick or dying person.

7. These legislooters, sorry legislators must be milking Nigeria dry, don’t you think?

What was your fist clue?

Was it when Sanusi alleged that the National Assembly spends 25% of the national budget? Let’s rephrase that for easier understanding. Sanusi said 468 people get to spend 25% of the national budget and leave the remaining 75% for 180 million people.

If that is not enough to put you in shock, remember that the yearly allocation for the National Assembly, which has less than 10,000 individuals on its payroll, surpasses the annual budgets of 21 of Nigeria’s 36 states including Katsina, Benue and Jigawa all with populations of more than 4 million people.

Sometimes I understand coup plotters.

A stranded Nigerian in the street of Dallas should just start finding his way home. That is the most intelligent thing to do.

You must be arrested by christ jesus. Because he is the reason why you are alife to type this rubbish. Your case must be like saul. Jesus christ rules forever

is christ Jesus a policeman?

ABUJA—President Muhammadu Buhari declared, yesterday, that his age will not affect his job as president of Nigeria.
He said that at 72 he has in quantum, the wisdom, the patience, the temperance and forbearance that age brings and has brought all these virtues to the presidency to make a difference in our national life.

If only the dullard knows the meaning of "quantum".

Thank you Satan

MzJackBaueress:
Olisa Metuh disagrees with you. The TANoid-in-chief has spoken.

We shouldn't insult the president but I can't help noticing that Buhari is a dullard from Daura in Katsina

MzJackBaueress:
TANoids una don hear from una oga spokesman? No one should call President Muhammadu Buhari offensive names again. Stick to constructive criticisms and not insulting the president.

una don hear?

I just heard that Buhari is the Daura President

PAINGAIN:
Honestly anyone that takes all this tribal wars on nairaland to d real world be fool. Na for only here o I dey fight with yoruba people. Once I close my phone I don forget am. I have a lot of yoruba business associates and friends. Na when u travel outside nigeria u go c igbos and yorubas mingling like brothers.

Anyone that thinks that tribalism is only on Nairaland or that Nairaland tribalism doesn't tickle out and affect the world, is the fool

nairaminds:
guy can u for once be serious....

in Luggard's Nigeria? You must be joking

bukster:
You can say that but at the end of the day the money that you're stealing was most likely supposed to be for your Igbo brothers and sisters so the people that you're hurting the most from your thievery is your fellow Igbos, not Nigeria as a whole.

That's not the point

the same question can be asked of ministers and many other political posts.
the people actually running this country are the civil servants without whom everything comes to a standstill.

brodalikeme:
Forget Oba Akiolu, he is entitled to his opinion and he has his reasons, but as the proverbs says, if a mad man pulls his cloth to fight you, and you do the same, anyone that comes after will not know the different between the two of you. ULTIMATELY THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS POST IS QUELLTHE BONDS OF BITTERNESS.

Accord us the same regard and forget us. We also have a reason for our opinions and maybe you should not be involved in this fight because the difference between us is starting to dissappear.

barcanista:
If a Senator steals what naturally should go to his people then he is an enemy to his people. Punishing your kinsmen because the British forced us into a country is worse than treachery.

I know you won't understand. Let me try again.

What I am stealing does not belong to Igboland but rather to Nigeria. An Igbo proverb captures the situation quite well: a goat owned by the public grows thinner than one owned privately.

I buy a car, I take good care of it. Me, Adamu and Dele buy a car together to share, how do you think that car would look in a few months?

barcanista:
The truth is every ethnic group is angry. But our anger is to be channelled to the people that vowed to perpetually impoverish us. I hope we all embrace sanity

That's exactly what they want you to feel. You are trapped.
We Igbos understood this trap long ago and tried to flee but like the clenched fist of a drowning man holding unto anything it can to drown with, Nigeria held us back. We are not Nigerians. Never have been, never will be.

brodalikeme:
I respect your point of view, everyone has the right to be bitter about past injustices but my point is holding on to those bitterness only limits 'you'. an ethnic group that has suffered so much injustice and have made tremendous progress after that and I dare say that these progress can be attributed to their ability to rise above previous injustice. No one should be enslaved by the bounds of injustice and past wrongs, the way forward those not lie there.

We are not holding onto past injustices; present injustices are holding us back.

barcanista:
Thank you my broda. Dem wan share N9B for National Assembly, you no go hear say Gbajabiamila na yorubaman or Ekeremadu na igboman. You no go hear say Sen Sekibo na Ijawman or Ahmed Lawan na Hausaman. All of them de unite de share our money. When Otedola and Ifeanyi Uba de share our subsidy money, you no go hear say Otedola na Yorubaman or Uba na Igboman, all of them in unison de smile go bank. Yoruba, Hausas and Igbos are our big brothers in Nigeria (though we are all equal). There is no need to fight or revisit the past. All of us should learn the lessons of our fathers and learn to understand ourselves (not even tolerate). We all may have our differences but there are ways to solve them beyond fighting.

Let me put it this way to you if you can understand: if I were to be a senator of an independent Igboland, my ancestral home with only my people, I would work for my country, die for my country; if I were to be a senator of a geographical expression called Nigeria, created only a century ago for the sole benefit of the emipre of Britain full of people I have nothing in common with, I will steal it dry at any given opportunity and claim tribal witch-hunting if someone accuses me.

@ op, don't be a hypocrite, tell us what you think of oba akiolu and the lagoon.
