yes if atiku or any other northerner does not rule nigeria, there will be war

what did i say war

accept that the north is superior over you southerners cowards

[size=14pt] i tell you southerners from yoruba to igbo to ijaw, u are all in big trouble if you do not vote for the north

i tell you big big trouble[/size]

the north has always rule nigeria and will always rule nigeria till lagos state name change from "eko" to "nnewi" state

until port harcount name changes to zana state, the north will keep ruling

the north rule

someone say "At iku" till we die

this is just to show the power of the north

so to all yoruba, igbo and ijaw watch out 2012

Boboribo:
Now the roforofo begins.  Why is the 2011 project looking like a re-harsh of 1993?  Then it was North V. South.

that is when the north wins and put all southerners starting from yoruba to igbo and the rest as slaves to us hausa/fulani/kanuri

yarodin:
Why are these "Aboki Catchi nama" people so concerned about a war that took place over 40yrs ago? Apart from aboki nama dominating the politics of Nigeria I do not see any concrete evidence that they won the war, poverty and diseases are still are common among these losers.

no vex me

[size=15pt]Zoning: Don’t push us to the wall, Violence may be inevitable -Atiku warns
[/size]
By Henry Umoru
A Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Wednesday warned that if the leadership of the Party and that of the country jettison the already existing zoning arrangement, it would amount to making violence change inevitable.
Speaking Wednesday at National Stakeholders’ Conference, 2010 at the Thisday Dome, Abuja, the former Vice President who noted that he was not praying that the political situation of the party and that of the country should get to the level of applying violent means to address the nation’s problems, also stressed that if the PDP fails to embrace reforms, it stands the risk of making itself irrelevant.
Meanwhile, Former Senate President, Iyorchia Ayu has called on Nigerians especially those from the South to put behind them those eras in the 1960s which produced coups and counter coups in the country, just as northerners became Heads of State during the periods.
According to Ayu, “North is not set out to dominate anybody. I want you to ignore the Nigerian history of 60’s that produced coups and counter coups with its leaders as northerners. It was not conspiratorial on the part of the Northern political leaders, it was accidental.
“When we had opportunity we, not only brought out President Obasanjo who was in prison for treason out, but the north made him President even when his immediate community rejected him. It was the highest show of solidarity by the North. The least our brothers from the south can do is to demonstrate and reciprocate the goodwill.”
Ayu who admitted that the task ahead them is ensuring that the Consensus Candidate for the north, Atiku Abubakar gets the party’s ticket as well as become the President of the country come next year, said, “we are trying to tell you that we have difficult task ahead of us. If you are not present here today, the consensus effort would have been a failure. But with your presence here today, Atiku ceases to be the Northern Consensus Candidate but the Consensus Candidate of Nigeria.”
The Conference which had as its theme, “Building Consensus for National Unity”, was convened by the Northern Political Leaders Forum, NPLF, the Igbo Political Forum, the Yoruba Redemption group and the South South Unity Forum.
Speaking further, Atiku said, “Our coming here is not about Atiku, it is about the peace, the unity and stability of Nigeria as exemplified by all the speakers who spoke to this audience today. Today is about building consensus for national unity. We have some elder statesmen on consensus building. It is about the rule of law, due process and standing for what is right.
“I am an instrument for realizing these value. I promise that by the grace of almighty God, we shall bring this country back to the part of honour. Before I end this short address let me send a message to our great party the PDP: if the PDP does not reform, it stands the risk of making itself irrelevant. Let me again send another message to the leadership of PDP that those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable.”
Also in his remarks, former Senate President Ken Nnamani who warned that some leaders of the country were planning to put national unity to the burner, stressed that rotation and zoning which has become part of the nation’s history, was beyond the north, the PDP, adding that it has become a national challenge.
Nnamani who noted that Nigeria has a lot to learn from the process that brought out Atiku Abubakar, stressed that it showed high sense of humility and patriotism, just as he said that if the choice was from some parts of the country, there would have been series of court litigations now, adding that zoning must be adhered to against the backdrop that all political office holders were beneficiary of same process.
The former Senate President who called for the externalization of the Consensus candidate process, also called on Nigerians to disregard comments by the President General of Ohanenze Ndigbo, Ralph Uwachue, adding that as a country, we lack political will to implement agreements, adding that some politicians were over heating the polity for their gains, even as he said that there was tension in PDP because of plans to circumvent the rules.

Blazay:
Who blamed the North and West for Biafra?
Any true Igbo broda would accept that Biafra was as a result of the Igbos' ambition to do the unattainable with poor planning and implementation.

But, if you are talking of starvation of the "casualties of war" in the Biafra era. . . heck yeah. The North and West were responsible of course.

You know the Igbos love to eat a lot. . .that was the only logical move that could weaken the over all defense.
It worked didn't it?

War strategists use starvation all the time.  Too bad the Igbos loved akpu too much and could not survive without it instead of dry grains of rice. The Vietnamese chased the Americans away by surviving on just 15 grains of rice a day with lots of water and physical exercise.

Next question please.

and did you know that the policy would not have been implemented if the ijaws to the south of igboland/biafra did not have a hand in it.

if the ibiobios and Cameroon did not have a hand in it there would have been no blockade in the east of biafra

my point is that it is not only the north and the west that fought again biafra, also it is not only the north and the west that starved biafra children other groups even in the south and mid-belt had a hand in it.

babasoty:
I lost 2 uncles and my home town Okrika had its share of biafran soldiers brutality, and we were supposed to be allies,

thank you, sorry for the lost my God give you and your family peace

once again i am sorry

I have been seeing some of my igbo brother(i am half igbo) push the blame of biafran children starvation to the WEST, MID WEST and north. It baffles me when they think or talk like this, because they never blame the SOUTH-SOUTH(ijaws). I have then come to a conclusion why they think like kids or should i say reiterates.

1.) they just want to blame it on some group of people

2.) pure ignorance

3.) it is because they want ijaw and other south-south people to be part of biafra land because of resources

because ijaws never supported biafra and they also helped in starving biafran children

T9ksy:
Abi ojare, Jason!!!

Na every1 (in Niaja) HELPED starved biafran kids!!! Even my maternal g/mother who risked all to take food to the east during the war
was also culpable in "helping" to starve biafran kids. She was eventually killed in a dastardly manner by the same igbos!

Afterall, biafrans are innocent ke  .
Yeah right, tell that to those who lost their loved ones when the same Biafran "angels" decided to drop bombs onto the streets of Lagos.Guess who got snuffed out? Innocent kids and their mothers.

gbam

even me as a kid then barely escaped

[size=15pt]this man should be placed in the placed or printed in the 500 naira or 10 naira note in nigerian currency because he is a legend        fact [/size]

Eziachi:
You just have to accept that one man's food is another man's poison. We often abuse the word GREAT a lot. I won't join in abusing the man, a late one for that matter. A dead man knew nothing. I am a true christian, hence I don't believe in after life, so whether anyone of us abuse or praise him means nothing, as Enahoro knew nothing about it.
But history is there for the living to waste time on, that is why its called history. History is never too old to talk about, if you forget the past, what then is history?
Only that one should never allow the past to shape what his should be in the present.

now u are talking, but he did what he had to do for his people also just like awolowo and others did.

udezue:
He can rot in hell.

mumu u too rot in hell with ojukwu

Nsiman:
Pa Enahoro, your legacies remains with us, esp. as the first indigen to advocate for our indipendence. R. I. P

he will for ever be greater the the greatest igbo man(ojukwu) fact

My condelences to his family . . . . . . . .

Time for him to meet the innocent Biafran children he helped starved to death. . . . . . .

RIP.

u are a sad mad lady,,,mumu inyamrai

yes i trust sahara reporter even better than other nigeria media company

Gbawe:
Folks better believe that if Ribadu promises "privatisation" of the Power sector that is indeed what will happen . Not the pseudo-privatisation yarn of GEJ that will actually translate into the enrichment of Anenih, OBJ , Orubebe and other GEJ pals. We saw this with the NIPP scheme under OBJ when the likes of Stella Obasanjo-Bello , and other OBJ cronies, got power supply contracts with no experience at all in the sector yet Nigeria did not gain one megawatt of power.

gbamm

but i do not know why GEJ is even contesting, he has spent upto 9 months in office yet no result; no tangible thing

i repeat fashola should not deport anyone in the same country

since we are a country, how can u deport anyone; do that make sense

1 down

3 more too go (mend,massop,opc)

u are crazy

u are crazzyyyy

stop this ur campaign

u are almost a were

edicolove:
I feel sad not only for David Mark but also for our news media and you lot here in Nairaland. You guys are all so uninformed and ignorant and that's why Nigeria suffers. CBN does not spend N300 billion as Mark alleged. Mark should resign for that statement. He just shows that he doesn't even understand the rudiments of economics and government and he shouldn't be presiding over an institution like national assembly. Overheard for CBN and overheard for NASS are 2 different things. for example, CBN can buy government bonds just to mop up the economy and check things like inflation. That doesn't mean they are spending the money on themselves or on projects. Its just economics. But then, the money is still recorded as expenditure against the CBN account. Its like using money to buy money. Its normal economics that government financial institutions all over the world do to regulate the economy. That is a major part of what makes up CBN expenditure. Apart from actual cost to run the organization. The NASS on the other hand spend this money on items like cars, hotel, furniture, etc. If mark does not know this, he doesn't no anything about governance. His comment is too ignorant for a senate president to make. It is a disgrace.

Good one

the senate president (david) is a disgrace to all senators in the world, he does not even know what he is talking about.
