[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=657276.msg8234144#msg8234144 date=1304169222]Anyway, if you don't like SR and Next, start your own rival newspaper, get people to patronize it.

Rather than whining, crying and complaining (as you guys typically do), do something about it. Offer an alternate media source.[/quote]thank you

SR is know all over the world, from america to nigeria to uk

all over africa

so no point

i think the FG should look at the sun newspaper for stirring ethnic groups

the FG under Abacha has destroyed the champoin newspaper

next is the sun newspaper

gists:
I am not a member of cpc, or pdp or any of the party (though I voted for cpc). Can u prove that the pdp is not a beneficiary of the alleged under aged voter?

very good

first of all, GEJ rigged in the south,.,.,, ,., but that is not painful

if GEJ got 99.8% of the population in the south,.,, it shows how divided we are

also the very painful thing is the way he rigged in the north

i mean how can he get 40% of sokoto

why ??

me like

olabukola:
All i have been reading here in how GEJ rigged the election to his favour. Yes rigging is bad and we must condemn it when it happens irrespective of who benefited from it. One thing that baffles me is that nobody queried why we have under aged voters in the north, is it cos it did not benefit GEJ? Is that not another form of election irregularity?.

If we condeme Jona for rigging we should as well condemn who ever benefited from the vote of the under aged unless their votes goes to Jona as well.

and how are they under age


or do u know there age

Accusing a paper of being tribalist and trying to suppress other regions, then claiming that this is something that everyone should "noticed (sic)" is pretty silly. You aren't in much of a position to accuse anyone else of lacking intelligence.[/quote]

[quote author=EzeUche__ link=topic=656655.msg8229590#msg8229590 date=1304096288]I blame the North. As the world can see, it is the weakest link. Southern Nigeria would be a much more prosperous place if we did not have to worry about the North. [/quote]

we should not push blame on any group

let us all see how we can work together, whether north or south

the funny thing is that if we can not work together, we are not going anywhere

[quote author=EzeUche__ link=topic=656655.msg8229559#msg8229559 date=1304096047]It is sad that Malaysia was at same level as Nigeria 50 years ago, but now they have surpassed us. They now export more palm oil than us, even though they learned from us! [/quote]and who's fault is that ? if not PDP and tribalism

a country where we can not all work together without a group trying to surpas the other

how much is a container please ?

na wa ooooo

no police system in nigeria again

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=656350.msg8225597#msg8225597 date=1304045935]Nigeria is a comedy case.

In a civilized world, the MEND militants will be rounded up and arrested ASAP for making violent threats.
that is how you stop violence before it starts for christ sake!


how do we expect GEJ to arrest sly northern millitants when he can't arrest the ones that are making their plans known.[/quote]thank u my sister

[quote author=aloy-emeka link=topic=656350.msg8225410#msg8225410 date=1304042497]Please you people should stop pouring petrol inside the fire. MEND is known for senseless attacks even though they don't go massacring people on the street.[/quote]rubbish, the day they try it, it would be there end

fact !!!!

infact we are waiting

UncleJJ:
1. : This is very necessary. Lagos is growing to powerful as a state, reducing it's financial muscle the have will keep some matters in check. You can even see it in Westerners attitude towards other Nigerians.

2.: You speak such words, because of ACN domination of Edo State "yes" - i'm sorry to say you are very wrong, ACN only thrives in Edo State because of the former NLC leader. If Oshiomole decamped to CPC, he would still become the governor.

3.: The British never had any interest in the west policies or ideologies. They simply wanted the North to rule, and they still do.

4. What are the facts, what do have to prove that the Ndigbo are superior . Why are all Igbo people like this. And you guys want to rule Nigeria, its not possible with this sort of character.

5(i). : This is for the proud igbo, until you can learn to build trust, credibility and nationalism, you only continue to hope to receive compensations. The only men i deeply respect from the east are the Late Chief Okadigbo and The Present Owelle Rochas Okorocha.

5(ii). Igbo should that no sect in this country is more unified than the Northerner's (whether or not they are IRK or CRK students).

5(iii). If the Igbo must win this election, they must get a candidate with strong western, south-south and northern ties. You need someone that comes from a family which intermarried which different section of the country. This connection will help you more than you can imagine. It will demonstrate the east ability to tolerate so called "foreign and less superior bodies.

5(iv). If there is nothing chance for the above, then just keep doing business and making money- this you are very good at. But, you guys need to move into agriculture, buy land in the north employ the northerner to work for you, this will also make Ndigbo appear more powerful and gracious. Ndigbo should not forget that it is the collective demand from the north,west,south-south and east, that ensure their businesses run profitably .

In light of this Ndigbo, should even be the sect that pushes for peace in Nigeria more than any sect, but they dont. WHY?

6.: Low campaign funds, i believe that CPC, does have branches in the south. Secondly - Yours truly's campaign in the north were not targetted to the middle class/educated and upper. Buhari, plan was simple, appear as a messiah to the masses and we have lots of masses in this country.

hmmmm coming back to it

2mch:
Kwezuonu yaaaa!!!!

What is good for the goose (GEJ) is good for the gander (Ohakim). This is why when you support election malpractices, you now lose credibility to condemn another. The governor was given support to rig once, i wonder how people thought he would give them free elections.lol. . The guy don master the rigging, and has employed the human machine thumb printers.

correct sir

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=655622.msg8221974#msg8221974 date=1304000610]Uche Ciroma, I've read your post. Let me ask the following questions according to each of your points;

About Point 1: First of all, the tax/duty/charges being collected at the port does not go to Lagos government coffers but to the ministry of transport. Also, those infrastructures that you mentioned, are only promises which would or would not be fulfilled. We only hope he builds befitting terminals in Enugu and Owerri airports, speed-up the riverport development, 2nd niger bridge, erosion devastation containment as well as political posts such as Senate presido. But on the whole, some developments are not just for the SE eg. power reforms, security improvement, better healthcare facilities etc. These are nationwide developments.

About 2: You're a sharp man. How did you know our eyes are firmly on shifting the economic base from lagos to, the SE?

About 3: GEJ didn't promise Ndigbo any political post so, don't be misled here. Its even unconstitutional and unprofessional to explicitly do so by him. His mind would've been made up of his intentions by now. Its all about zoning within the PDP and as at now, it seems the SE is much better-off to muscle for some top posts like Senate presido etc. We still have COAS, internal affairs etc.

About 4: PH has always been an Igbo city. Never mind what u've heard on the contrary. It used to be called "Igwe Ocha" in igbo which means "white land" or ("white sand" sort of, due to its close proximity to the sea where u're mostly to see white sand.)

About 5: No. GEJ isn't that kind of person. He most likely will like the contracts to go to competent hands which would define his infrastructural legacy. He wants people to remember him for specific things that moved the country forward such as the electoral conduct etc. You should have asked why he didn't give the post of INEC to another Igbo man (as compensation for removal of Iwu) or another southerner?

About 6: Please how did you come about this? Who told you he doesn't have the interest of a particular set of people or region at heart? What evidences could you point at?[/quote]1.) the duty tax on good and port tax are different i hope u know. the tax on good is taken from the state government while the port tax or (import and export charge) is taken by the FG

2.) yes i know , now how would the ndigbo turn that into a benefit

3.)you are joking right, is any thing consitutional in nigeria. what ohaneze did is it conitutional.

4.) not quite true nut either way, ndigbo would benefit

5.) well we shall see about that

6.)even when he came to campign in the north and SW he did not go to the indignes over there, instead he was shoutin on how the population of igbos should vote for him

[quote author=EzeUche__ link=topic=655622.msg8219281#msg8219281 date=1303971530]Whenever I see these type of threads, I see it as a slap in the face or an insult to the Igbo people. How dare you talk to us like we are children? How dare do you talk to millions of people in such a manner? It is this type of attitude, which makes Igbos dislike other Nigerians even more.

We don't need your advice. Start worrying about your own dammn people, because I see no group that is superior to the Ndigbo in Nigeria.

You all can take your advice and shove it up your arse. [/quote]

Chubhie:
Good thought pattern alj. As it is now we can only speculate. Lets make Nl less tribalized. Thanks.

okay

Obiagu1:
There's no need ignoring all of them, some of them are sensible but these 4: seanet02, fstranger, Eko Ile and bkbabe should be ignored completely. I dare not discuss with any of them because they never made a sensible post worthy of a reply so I've been wondering how you guys cope.

Ileke Idi should be ignored when she loses her head but sometimes she gets her sanity intact.
Alh. harem should be ignored too until he stops being a silly man camouflaging as an uneducated man when he is not. I wonder how he enjoys his silly posts and how he gets satisfaction from them.



I guess you might be the first or second after Andre to break the rule

when did i tell u i was not educated please show me the post

mens dept:
Well so am I, but you usually tell it as it is. This suggestion, well, is objective, but are you seriously thinking that Igbo leaders in PDP should handle this? My friend whats up now?

if is only the leaders in PDP that can do this job

forget ohaneze, they are theives and are not focus

moreover they would need someone already in the system to do it and ohaneze is not up to such task

What will you do

awual no kill pesin for here

Nadanbata:
GEJ couldnt have won this election without the backing of the Northern Elite. Let me make this very clear to you if you dont know.

i hope they made a very good deal with him oh

infact if they did make a deal with him

is it for there pockets like they have always done or for the massives on the street

Nadanbata:

i know prefectly that; that was the case

i do not trust GEJ and he has made promises over and over again to different regions

i hope he does not betray us

u are a smart man

if it is a cooporation then the state government can agure that it is not theirs

good intelligent point dapo

mens dept:
Alj, I cant believe you of all people are writing this? Sounds like EzeUche has brought you some snuff

i am just be objective here

i am half igbo and i want the best for my people as well

abadaba:
@Uche, well done in your post, but Ndigbo only believes in equity. Ndigbo wants you to treat others how you treat them. Ndigbo will not be happy that only Ndigbo shares the national cake. It is not the Igbo spirit. The IGBO spirit is that of parity.

To be honest with u, i agree but this is nigeria where "if u are not fast; it is gone"

Now there are hundreds of choices Ndigbo can make to correct the marginazation and insults from other ethnic groups

Ohaneze should not get involve in this, this should be handled by the igbo leaders in PDP

what do u think ?

just to add

There are some important seat in PDP that can be taken up by igbos as well

Before I start, i would want no insult on this thread

I have studied the political landscape of Nigeria and watch the current events taken place. In my finding, I notice that the igbos and northerners are in the best position as it is right now. The following are my thoughts

1.) Now that there is SS president and he won by the majority of the nddigbo votes, he is likely to compenstae them for there effort by buliding a sea port or a VALUABLE international airport. this in turn would reduce the tax system lagos collect from it's port and reduce the total income of the state and in general the SW because they all share this money as i was told.

2.) Even without a mandate, the SE has already gotten what they want (economic power from the west) now in 2015, it would be either SE or NE president. either way they still benefit.

3.) Now that the SW is out of National politics of PDP, it is only normal for more positions to be avalible for the ndigbo given that GEJ gives his promise

4.) Lagos is the heart beat of the SW (yorubas/edos) if it falls they have to rush to the upcoming econmical power (port harcount). Now some might agure that port harcount is not an igbo town but in reality, it does not have to be an igbo town before they benefit from it due to the close proximity to SE

5.) most juice national contract will be given to igbos and SS because of GEJ

6.) GEJ has shown time and time again that he does not care about the north or SW. All he is doing is channeling his energy to SE and SS

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS POINTS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU REPLY

i would like to see the igbos views on this.
