Updates of today across the nation

T8ksy:
Can you please expantiate on the bolded portion of your post, above. How did the yorubas betray your leaders in the past?



You people with your herd-like mentality sha. How did the yorubas betrayed you ibos? Can you point to any agreement had between the ibos and the yorubas that the latter reneged on? You people just open your big cavity and spew rubbish but when ask to substantiate it, you all can't but still maintain that you were betrayed by the yorubas. The same way you lot have been singing "carpet-crossing" in yorubaland in 1951 but till date, none of you cretins have been able to come up with any proof to back up your spurious allegation. Oya, i dare you , give us your proof or STFU.

Oh I see, so Awo wanted to rule a bigger nigeria, huh. I suppose Ojukwu didn't want to rule over a bigger nation than the biafra he initially mooted before going on an expansionist dream? Pray, do enlighten us on "Awo's selfish action against the ibos".

i hope you know the ideeeiot u are quote is not yoruba. I am yet to see a yoruba person speak bad of Bello

NorthSharp:
You are free to have respect, and even worship, Nzeogwu or whomever you want, just as some people have utmost respect and admiration for those who murdered Abiola, Kudirat, Bola Ige, and other prominent Yorubas.

Apart from Nzeogwu, I guess you also have huge amount and respect for Awo, whom the Igbos would forever continue to describe in their history as one of the most callous, cold-blooder mass murderers on earth, who they often compare to Hitler, for employing the tool of starvation to subject millions of women, children and elderly to a slow, painful but sure death!

So if you were not one of those half-educated young and not so-young southerners advertising their ignorance everyday on the internet, you would have known that history, especially in an ethnically divided country like Nigeria, always depends on who writes it!

In the history of the Ibos and all those who have pathological hatred for the Hausa-Fulani Muslims, Nzeogwu and his likes are 'heroes' and 'revolutionaries', while to us they were evil, callous and cold-blooded murderers and Igbo supremacists and betrayers of the worst types; the manner and style of their selected assassination could have only been motivated by profound hatred for the Hausa-Fulani Muslims!

And as I said in my original post, any Ibo who sees these evil people as heroes and comes out to openly celebrate their heinous crime against us, would only be inviting us to celebrate the killers of the 3 millions Ibo women and children during the civil war.

And if you are a Yoruba, as you claim, you should know that if you come openly to call Nzeogwu your 'hero', then we have the right to call the killers of Abiola, Kudirat, Bola Ige, et al, as our heros. And in as much as you could point to some imperfections of Sardauna, we can also point to such shortcomings of any one of your Yoruba leaders.

And don't even try to bring in the issue of 'betraying for money and power' because, unless you are new in any discussion forum involving Nigerians, you would have known that that particular sin is what MOST OTHER NIGERIANS attribute to your Yoruba people, in the past, in the present and may be in the future!

aboki

the poster cdoffx Is not yoruba

He is another igbo

na gode

Olodostein:
Why should we? We are thinking on how to rid ourselves of this cancer called Nigeria. Our brothers are being killed with impunity. That should be our worry.

You all are always looking for others to do your dirty bidding. Mind your priorities.

Yours brothers are being killed and the best solution is to be quite about the whole thing

Onlytruth, yes sir you are a great leader.

I would comply to ur command sir

Logic Mind:
Abeg if I stay home I cannot not come to NL.
There are many ways to pay respect. Nothing should be imposed.
And please after calling jewish god, year on year for guidance without result, maybe we should call on own igbo gods. At least they did guide and answered our forefathers for thousands of years before we abandoned them for a foreign god. Since then nothing has been working for us.
Onye amaghi ebe mmiri bidoro maba ya agaghi ama mgbe okwusiri.

portacabin:
Petrol has been selling above N65 in the east f for a long time now.
The strike is on because banks are shutdown and civil servants are note going to work

so petrol is sold for 70-80 naira before now, How much do you think it would be sold for now with the increase in PMS ?

Lol, na wa o

I wonder how some people think ?

muami:
All past Nigerian presidents have always been percieved as better than the incumbent. You can therefore be rest assured that GEJ would also be a saint when he leaves office

No sir, [size=14pt]So far in Nigeria's history Buhari's and Idiagbon's era were the best in Nigeria's history and shagari was there before him [/size]. Not because I particularly like buhari but facts are facts

Go check. Also OBJ was better than Abacha

Obama is still better than Bush. etc so it is not a one way thing.

[size=18pt]Why don't they buy Innoson buses?[/size] This can create many jobs.

Very Good Question

You know many Nigerian leaders are clueless and would rather patronise foreign goods like illiterates than patronise a Nigerian made cars.

[size=15pt]Day and day OBJ is looking like a saint and one of the best President Nigeria ever had democratically. Now if a thief like OBJ can be seen as a saint then you people should know we have a very very HUGE problem on our hand.[/size]

BlackPikiN:
^^^Go rest. all you have written is pure and holy lies.
we all know the govt(PDP=ACN=CPC) is so corrupt but spare all this trash you come with all the time.

yes that is what i am implying so what lies ?

you see you like a COW now, were you not the one supporting fuel subsidy removal now you know the government is corrupt.

One question genius

What would a [size=18pt]corrupt[/size] government do with 1.3 trillion naira ?

Mumu people I mean you beaf and all other goons and tribalsitic mofos here that [size=14pt]cannot even justify what you support.[/size]

[quote author=fab.j link=topic=844815.msg9953493#msg9953493 date=1326423881]Nigeria, we have a future 2 protect nd sacrifice 4. Cmn! Let d subsidy Go! Jst 4 a while so that your children could say Thanks. Let d subsidy Go![/quote]1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption

2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that

3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation.

4. Before removal of subsidy , CUT THE COST OF GOVERANCE not just by 25% because the bulk of the money made in government is not through salaries but be over PRICED projects. An average senator in Nigeria collects more than Obama the american president.

5. Now remove subsidy.

Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are

1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people

2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos

3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta

4. Building of the Niger Bridge. Must the bridge collapse before we maintain and build the next ? Since we can save lives, why not do it now.

Now what is the point of thinking ahead when there is still corruption and non-accountability in the government ?

What is the point of thinking ahead when the next administration would tell us about removal of subsidy again ?

IS THINKING AHEAD NOT BUILDING OF REFINERIES ?

Is thinking ahead not protesting against corruption ?


In Nigeria today, we have No light, No security, No shelter, No good roads, No good water, No refinery even though we are oil producing, Total neglect of infrastructure, Total neglect of the Niger-delta, Total neglect of the Niger bridge, Total neglect of people dying in the North, Lack of accountability, Lack of credibility, Lack of industrial growth apart from Oil which the entire country is dependant on, Lack of economic growth apart from the telecommunication sector by OBJ.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would also what to use this medium to address people thinking it is an ethnic thing.

I have heard various people saying the protest is against "GEJ" "minority" and other sentimental words to describe the protest.

I would like to educate the people about the politics behind what is happening according to my understanding and I would really appreciate if I can also learn more from other posters home and abroad.

In 2010, Sanusi made speech to the House of reps (HOR) that they were thieves and they are the ones sucking Nigeria dry due to the huge sum of money paid to them monthly. The HOR shut him down and called him all sort of names.

In 2011, Sanusi during the channels debate said 1.6 trillion naira is paid to this people out of 1.8 trillion naira thus 200 billion Naira is left for development of the country.

This people are the senator, governors, HOR, HOA, chairmen and the business men that were labelled as oil benefit thieves.

Now people Imagine 200 billion left for 150 million people in 36 states out of total of 1.8 trillion Naira. Yes I am sure people would agree with me that subsidy has to go !!!!

All am doing here is to make people political aware of the situation right now and lets not forget the Iweala and the IMF factor.

Now people are NOT and I repeat NOT angry at the removal of the subsidy I mean at such rate the paying of subsidy is not sustainable. It has to go at one point or the other, either through GEJ or the next administration. Yes I respect GEJ and Sanusi for thinking ahead of time. That is very commendable but the Issues that cause the subsidy corruption are not yet addressed.

In the future the issue would come up again so what is the point ?.

It seems after all the talk, shouting, teaching, lecture, protest, educating, directing, etc people are doing, some people still don't know why people are angry

1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption

2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that

3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation.

karfe:
I would advise you go through the whole thread and / or speak with those from the regions I proposed

I am not against forming middle belt. I have followed the thread from the beginning and I must say middle belt is free to do whatever they want already ( every group has right to self determination). Goodluck brother at the end of the day we are still Nigerians.

htajz:
Yorubas really can't hide their tribalistic nature, why didn't you complete dbanj name? Where is fashola your lagos state governor and all the southwest governors? I always knew it like beaf keeps saying it ,this is not about subsidy but about hatred for the niger deltans and eastern nigeria and that's why this protest will fail, a lot of men wanted to shut down oil installations in niger delta till they were educated on what is really happening, tribalistic bunch , thank God my people didn't fall for the scam, ph ,yenogoa and other eatern states are bubbling right now, lagos can remain dead forever who cares

personally I don't support the poster

But why not attack the poster instead of the whole ethnic group called the yorubas ?

It seems like every thing is yoruba or hausa in u people's world. If you can't sh.it it is yorubas fault. if u can't mess it is hausa fault

it seems you people are getting dumber by the day.  

Yesterday, the yorubas demanded accountablilty from their leaders

Hausas did the same

so what is ur point

Omarbah:
It is really admirable to see Nigerians stand against what they is unfair. I personally am optimist about Nigerian's future and about Africa's future. The new generation will be able to change things around. We only had our independence for only 50-60 years so there is no reason to be fatalistic about our situation.
Keep it up!!!!!!!!

Yes o, Our people say " One na One day monkey go go market e no go fit come back" that is the issue with Nigeria now.

The people tired of promises and promises. People want to see change I mean at the end of the day we would all enjoy it together.

I am proud of Nigerians for this action. God bless Nigeria, God save the President

jmaine:
Una no dey tire to carry fake broadcast . . .

Mr man, how body, You don use energy drink ?

DanKan0:
well done.

Jump on the train so you dont get left behind oo

Yes you can say that again. Lets come together and chase out corrupt people that PDP apologise are trying to force down our throats.

@Karfe

I am glad you have told naijaking the truth. The eastern part of kogi to north-western part of anambra are Igala speaking people. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. We can look at the middle belt and say it is majority Nupe, Jukun, Igala, Yoruba, Fulani, Kanuri and yes even Hausa because of Niger state etc.

Now the point is these places we can call North central. Remember it is still the north geographically and nothing would change that. All that Odua, etc republic is not really the case now. Already majority of the leaders from the northern geopolitical zone are from the middle belt (from the beginning of our independence) Thus we can say no one is under any one right ? Thus I don't see the struggle of the separate identity.

South-South as left the ethnic bandwagon and join the protest of accountability

Good sons of Ala-imo like Abagworo and co have left that bondage.

BY CHIDI NKWOPARA
OWERRI—Workers of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, last Wednesday, withdrew their services in Imo State thereby throwing the entire state into darkness.

Vanguard investigations revealed that the action of PHCN workers was in full compliance with directive of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress, TUC, on the on-going strike over the withdrawal of fuel subsidy.

Apart from this development, Imo had remained very peaceful despite repeated threats by the NLC and TUC leaders that markets, motor parks and commercial transport outfits to close shop or face stiff sanctions.

While federal and state secretariats remained under lock and key as at yesterday, shops, markets and motor parks, as well as some private educational institutions in the state remained open for business.

However, a handful of protesters processed peacefully from the Edede Street NLC Office to the Library Roundabout, Owerri, carrying placards and chanting anti-government slogans.

I believe these are the rulers of tomorrow. Our leaders have used ethnicity to blind us so much to the reality on ground.

Kudos Warri and South-South people. I am indeed proud of you all and Nigerians

[size=15pt]We have people among us that want to keep stealing our money and us ethnicity to blind us. Enough is Enough[/size]

WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

WARRI— FORMER South-South youth leaders, led by erstwhile national vice president of the [b]National Youth Council, Mr. Mumakai-Unagha, have differed with South-South elders, [/b]who, during the week, declared support for President Goodluck Jonathan on the removal of fuel subsidy.

After an emergency meeting convened in Warri, Delta State, the youth leaders rejected the removal of fuel subsidy.

They said: “President Goodluck Jonathan should listen to the voice of Nigerians and revert to status quo of N65.00 per litre as the removal of subsidy will further impoverish the down-trodden Nigerians, who are living from hand to mouth and further enrich the cabal, that are in government.

“The Federal Government should, as a matter of urgency, identify the cabal and they should be brought to book in accordance with the law of the federation.”

The youth leaders said the issue of fuel subsidy [size=14pt]“goes beyond ethnic borders[/size]

“Mr. President should not put the South – South region in a disadvantaged position in the politics of Nigeria, as the decision on the removal of fuel subsidy has cast a negative image on the entire region,” they added.

I don't believe the story but Dr. Okonjo-Iweala shouldn't be able to afford a N1.2billion house. World Bank and being the daughter of an Obi isn't enough.

are you minding this funny people

Dangote has no 500 million house yet

1 billion = 1000 millions haba
