Am asking this because of a stupid thread opened by an afonja were he claimed Igbos aligned with the north in 1999 to vote PDP .

The idiots are claiming that the Igbos refused to vote Olu Falae who ran on the alliance platform of AD and APP (both regional and tribal parties).

To the daft afonjas in that stupid thread , they refused to acknowledge that the PDP also fielded a Yoruba candidate in the form of Obasanjo. To them it wasn't enough that the Igbos and Niger Delta people voted a Yoruba but they are insisting that they should have voted their preferred Yoruba candidate .

Now let's consider Tinubu's shenegens since 1999.

This is a man who led the opposition against Obasanjo. No day goes by without Tinubu insulting Obasanjo to the pleasure of both the Yoruba and northern people .

It is a fact that no other southern politician has worked for northern interests more than Tinubu.

He has supported three northern candidates - Atiku, Ribadu and Buhari.

Even in 1999, Falae ran on a joint platform with the regional APP.

So why is it that Yorubas are claiming that Igbos have always aligned with the north?

Tinubu denied Yorubas the speakership by ordering his benchwarmers in the national Assembly to vote a Fulani man.

Same Tinubu and his tribal party were instrumental in removing a southern president and they have also stopped clamouring for restructuring .

The Igbos were not the only ones that rejected olu Falae. Falae lost in every state outside the SW but for some reason the daft afonjas are laying falae's loss on Igbos only. Not minding that Igbos voted for a Yoruba candidate in the form of Obasanjo.

Is Ekwueme a Yoruba man?, how many SE and SS delegates went to Jos convention?, how many votes did Ekwueme got?, the result of that primary election shows that Your people sold out.
Obasanjo was a northern candidate, he infact had nothing to do with the formation of PDP.
The northern cabal only used Obj to pacify the Yorubas because of the June 12 debacle.
Obj was rejected by the Yorubas because we believed he reaped where he did not sow, but SE and SS collected money from the north and abandoned Ekwueme for Obj.
Obj that was poor like church rat before being released from the prison, how can he have money to beat Ekwueme? Obj was bankrolled by the north and your people love money, this was how Ekwueme was disgraced in Jos, simple.

[/s]

You are spewing jargons.

Since 1999, one politician has always aligned with the north and that person is tinubu

Tinubu will be at the forefront castigating Obasanjo .

Tinubu has supported 3 northern candidates (Atiku, Ribadu and Buhari).

Look at that result sheet again and you will see that Olu Falae ran under an alliance platform with APP - a northern party.

You goats need to stop projecting your angst in Igbos.

Falae lost in every state in the south and north. He only won in the SW.

Why blame Igbos for your loss?

This thread just showcases Yoruba stinking hypocrisy .

Jonathan's constitutional reform confab was a golden moment to restructure Nigeria .

Did the ACN and CPC which will later become APC deem it fit to send a representative?

The report and recommendations of that confab has been gathering dust since APC got to power.

Buhari will later appoint one man (El Rufai) to review the report.

Where was all the Yoruba fake clamour for restructuring?

Yorubas are the main problem plaguing Nigeria.

Shawnnn01:
The most bigoted tribe I repeat is not the North but our shameless brothers from the south who complain about SW governors not buying IVM yet do not hesitate to display their inherited hatred to the indigene of the SW from where they liberated their erosion ravage enclave from the shackles of poverty their political leaders continue to loot their commonwealth while they are hellbent on rescuing Lagos leaving the log in their own eye.

Please , Obasanjo is from where again?

Olu Falae ran on an alliance platform of AD and APP. AD being an unapologetic tribal party with APP being a northern party.

In 1999, and till this day, PDP was and still the only truly national party.

The Igbos voted wisely in rejecting the SW-North alliance .

What this thread really exposed is how Yorubas have always aligned with the north .

Has Tinubu ever supported a southern candidate?

From Ribadu to Atiku to Buhari, Tinubu and the SW has always been in alliance with the north .

Always aligning themselves with northern agenda, serving as spanners in the southern wheel of progress.
But when they don't get the expected returns, they scream they shout marginalization, and cry like victims, the northern hegemonists already know their mummy button " money ", and have used it to keep them where they are, since independence till today.
Or else how can they explain what happened at Jos convention, people like us expected the voting to go into second round between Obj and Ekwueme, but it was like a walk in the park for Obj as my BLODAS from the East sold Ekwueme for a pittance.

[/s]

Your god Tinubu has never supported a southern candidate .

Ribadu, Atiku and Buhari have all entered alliance with Tinubu .

Even with a Yoruba man as president , Tinubu's band of rascals in the AD were constantly attacking OBJ.

Same useless Tinubu was part of the conspirators and traitors that denied a Yoruba woman speakership . Or have you forgotten how Tinubu instructed his band of rascals in the House to vote for Tambuwal.

zoomzobo:
Of course they didn't vote the Yoruba candidate; they had every reason to have voted against Obasanjo in 1999 because Ekwueme was widely expected to emerge in the Jos primaries of 98, being one of the primary founders of PDP. But because Falae was staunchly the Yoruba candidate, whom they hate with passion, they voted the party that betrayed their own.

[/s]

It is not enough that Igbos and Niger Delta people voted Obasanjo a Yoruba man. You wanted them to vote your own Yoruba candidate .

Keep allowing Igbos to live rent free in that your empty skull

Are you ok at all?

Olu Falae contested the elections under an alliance platform of the AD and APP.

These two parties remain regional parties .

PDP was and still remains national in outreach and by the way is Obasanjo a northerner?

Shawnnn01:
Thank you for posting this permanently on NL.
For those fools that claimed they voted Yoruba candidate in 1999, this will be a permanent reminded to wake even your dead fathers n forefather should you insist on peddling such lie. How a tribe lies so shamelessly foolish is beyond my comprehension.

And Obasanjo was Igbo?

Idiot

“Soldiers would marry the prettiest women, live in the best homes, eat the best food, wear the best cloth and drive the best cars because when war comes, they die first” ---Muhamadu Ribadu

I stumbled on this quote of Nigeria’s first Defence Minister after independence and a reputable Northern politician of his time, Alhaji Muhammadu Ribadu. He lived an eventful life between 1909 and 1965.

He was not a soldier, but knew exactly the pains of a soldier. So, I was fascinated at this catchy wisdom. In Ribadu’s time, Nigeria knew no war, but peace. However, it was clear to his mind that peace could only, but be ephemeral, as there would come a time to war, when only soldiers are the dutiful rescuers.

It has struck me strongly that Ribadu must have been gifted with a stunning clairvoyance. He correctly envisaged that an Army in Nigeria would one day face war. He had the power of prediction; he had prophetic wisdom. Ribadu never lived to see the fulfilment of his prophesy, as he answered the divine call on May 1st, 1965, the eve of the 1966 coup, which disrupted the politics of the first republic and the eventual three-year Nigerian civil war.

Like Ribadu predicted, scores of soldiers laid down their lives to break the cord of secessionists in Nigeria. These soldiers died so that we could live and for the nation to thrive in unity, peace and progress. The need to give soldiers absolute comfort in peace times was the strong message conveyed by the ditty of the cerebral Ribadu.

He was lucid that a soldier must be entitled to all the niceties and luxuries of life, hence in times of war, the soldier is the first to sacrifice his life for others to live.

Is there any justification for anyone to claim, a soldier does not value his life or entitled to the epicurean lifestyles of the rest of us? There is absolutely no reason.

So, as the then serving Minister of Defence, Ribadu ensured rapid expansion of the Nigerian Army and other arms of the military. In tandem with his mindset of welfare for the soldier, Ribadu established the Defence Industries Corporation and many other such initiatives designed for the comfort of soldiers.

It is the same philosophy, the current Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and ombudsman of the counter-insurgency war, Gen. Tukur Yusufu Buratai has imbibed in his leadership of the Nigerian Army. The Army Chief believes soldiers have signed a pact to die for us. They keep vigil for us to sleep in peace; they accept the bullets of the enemy for us to have life. The Army is a call only for the strong-hearted and soldiers deserve maximum comfort.

Naval war veteran and former US President, John F. Kennedy, fondly exhumes this pride in military service when he said; "Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.”

Gen. Buratai is a combatant soldier who is fired by the innate passion of service to humanity. He is an epitome of an ideal soldier anywhere in the world. My perception of him is that of an officer who embodies selflessness, patriotism, excellence and loyalty in leadership. Like Ribadu, he prioritizes the welfare of soldiers. Sun Tzu admonished military commanders to give every comfort to their soldiers and they can follow “you to the deepest valley.” Gen. Buratai is today fondly referred to as Sun Tzu of Africa by his patriots and mentees within the military for religiously upholding soldiers' welfare and comfort like a commandment.

Gen. Buratai’s adoption of this philosophy is responsible for the Army’s winning streaks in the anti-insurgency battles. What has propelled our Army officers and soldiers to fight unflinchingly and win the war on terrorism is rooted in the policy of Gen. Buratai’s fixation on the absolute comfort and niceties his administration is building for soldiers nationwide.

Famously, the Army Chief instituted the culture of prompt and timely payment of salaries and allowances of soldiers. He considers it an inviolable and sacrosanct obligation especially for soldiers in the frontlines. The era of soldiers grumbling for non-payment of legitimate entitlements is long gone with Gen. Buratai on board.

Furthermore, Gen. Buratai knows a soldier deserves a decent and habitable shelter for himself and family. In 2016, barely months after he assumed office, Gen. Buratai’s heart was drenched in sorrow as bemoaned the years of neglect of accommodation for the Army thus; “The soldiers are staying in a very bad accommodation, it is unfortunate!” Therefore, his administration embarked on massive renovation of Army Barracks and offices to provide both residential and office accommodation for soldiers.

Such imprints of Barracks renovations or constructions signposted very early in his administration as noticeable in Maxwell Khobe Cantonment, Jos; Obienu Barracks in Bauchi and Nigerian Army Barracks in Bama among others. Gen. Buratai has also made provision of portable water in Army Barracks a fundamental objective, where it is also extended to host communities.

A few examples like the Army Division in Enugu and its host community, Abakpa feels this impact; the Rukuba and Miango communities are also serviced by the Multi-Purpose Dam at Maxwell Khobe Cantonment, Jos. And it is replicated fairly in all Army Barracks across the nation.

The Army Chief has also initiated the building of new schools and refurbishment of old ones. He aggressively embarked on renovation and construction of new Army schools across Nigeria for children of Army officers and soldiers, starting from Abuja to elsewhere in the federation.

Access roads in Army Barracks are also rehabilitated, much like Army hospitals. Under Buratai’s leadership, soldiers enjoy a large dosage of comfort. He is aware that happy troops are the backbone to the success of any military expedition.

Its apparent that Gen. Buratai’s passion for the Army and service to his fatherland is innate. It can be gleaned from the background that in his time as a teenager, many of his peers naturally dreaded the Army. The military was perceived as a fearsome and hazardous vocation. Existing and working to die for others to live is a hard decision to adopt. But the young Buratai opted for it.

Himself the son of the World War II veteran, Mallam Yusuf Buratai who served under the Royal West African Frontier Force (RWAFF) from Nigeria, Gen. Buratai is a descendant of the lineage of chauvinists. So, he dreads no war and aims to conquer enemies of the state at all times.

Shortly before his demise two years back at the age of 106, the elder Buratai revealed that he never prodded his son to enlist in the Army, and that Gen. Buratai voluntarily opted for a military career. Pa Buratai said,“I did not ask him to join the army. He joined willingly. When he finished school here in Maiduguri, there was an advertisement urging young men to join the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA). He applied and was successful, so he voluntarily joined the army.”

Mallam Buratai believed that mankind must be freed from the excesses of demonically possessed souls and the only way to contribute his quota in enthroning global peace was the romance with the boots. He had a conviction that a soldier lives and dies for his country. He was infinitely sad with tales of soldiers these days, retreating from the battlefield in the face of enemy forces. That was his notion of the Army.

Therefore, Gen. Buratai has stood on these principles and perception of his father throughout his military career. It accounts for his superfluous performance as a soldier, crack combatant and leader for what his admirers have described as a rewarding military career to his nation.

As a leader of the Nigerian Army, Gen. Buratai finds the wisdom of Gen. Colin Powell worthwhile. Powell proclaimed that "The most important thing I learned is that soldiers watch what their leaders do. You can give them classes and lecture them forever, but it is your personal example they will follow."

Thus, under Gen. Buratai’s leadership, the Nigerian Army has been on a steady progressive match in excellence and performance in all ramifications because he is an ardent exemplar in official duties. Nigerians have seen a reformed and re-professionalized Army, which is loyal and patriotic. Soldiers are recording remarkable and uninterruptedsuccesses in the battles against Boko Haram and bile insurrections in the country.

Soldiers under Gen. Buratai’s guidance have stamped their dominion in all special assignments in Nigeria. Soldiers engaged on Internal Security (IS) observe the highest professional standards, maintain maximum respect for human rights of Nigerians as well as humbly sticking to the Rules of Engagement (ROE).

The Nigerian Army under Gen. Burataiis not only excelling in war, but expanding its base. From five Divisions of the NigerianArmy, which Gen. Buratai inherited in 2015, he has increased it to eight Army Divisions for ease of military operations. There are thousand Army Forward Bases stationed in crisis prone areas. Gen. Buratai has been able to establish an Army Aviation School and the Nigerian Army University, the first Army varsity in Africa within theshort time of his leadership.

In Gen. Buratai’s prosecution of the counter-terrorism war in Nigeria, he is resolute and resilient. Like the British Field Marshal Sir Herold Alexander said, Gen. Buratai knows, “The knowledge of not only the enemy’s strength and disposition, but also how, when and where he intends to carry out his operations; brought a new dimension to the prosecution of the war”

When Gen. Burtai hops into the trenches against insurgents, in the words of the British Air Marshall ‘Bomber’ Harris, he steps out vengefully because “They sowed the seed, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.”

In all the military engagements by Gen. Buratai and soldiers, they are exposed to grave dangers for no fault linked to them. Some have even paid the supreme price fighting to enthrone peace in a conflict they are oblivious of its causes. But they have remained loyal and patriotic to the entrenchment of peace. It now struck the wisdom of Ribadu in me, justifying why a soldier needs the best in peace times.

No doubt, Gen. Buratai has been inspired and guided by the advice his father offered him the first day he enlisted into the Army. Pa Buratai counselled the young officer Buratai to , “… be loyal to his superiors and constituted authority. I warned him to avoid any form of vice and I am grateful to God, he obeyed what I told him.”

It is the religious observance of this self-discipline or ethical code that has guided Gen. Buratai’s service elevation in the Army. This philosophy has always compelled Gen. Buratai to go the proverbial mile to seek comfort for soldiers. It explains why his leadership and administration of his office as COAS and leader of the counter-insurgency operations in Nigeria is a success story.

The east and west hating themself we lead nowhere

I have been warning you yaribansas not to look for southern unity when the north starts dealing with you.

2015 elections saw the bridge being demolished by you guys .

Face the north and leave the better south out of your stupidity .

Did this house boy get clearance from kyari to spew this trash?

agwom:
fake news

Your star house boy is going down

It should be crystal clear to Tinubu that the north is all out to humiliate and cage him ahead of 2023. Fowler was Tinubu's hand in fleecing FIRS dry. Fowler will be replaced by Ambode who Kyari wants to use to expose massive heist by Tinubu and Osinbanjo's Alpha-Beta racket.

Osinbanjo is a confirmed thief and crook and anytime soon he will face impeachment proceedings over both the FIRS heist, Trade Moni looting and contract scams.

Oshiomole is being favored to replace Osinbanjo ahead of an El Rufai/Amaechi ticket come 2023.

Afonjas how market?

1. Obono Obla arrested some people on corruption charges.

One of them was Wale Tinubu - Oando Oil

2. Obono received instruction from Deputy Chief of Staff, VP Osinbajo office to hand the case over.

3. Obono refused, insisting instructions to him should come from Chief of Staff in President's Office.

4. AGF Malami got Obono's office sealed and he was locked out.

5. Obono thereafter complained and told President Buhari that both VP & Malami should be investigated for sabotaging works of SPIP., and by extension the anti-corruption crusade.

6. Powers in Presidency sought to cut Obono out.

7. Meanwhile, few weeks ago AGF Malami issued instruction that all contracts issued by any Ministry must come to him for approval.

8. Now, President Buhari has taken SPIP from VP and given to AGF Malami to oversee.

9. Further, contract approvals that are statutorily under VP will now also land at AGF Malami's desk for approval.

I'm surprised President Buhari has not issued the VP a similar instruction as he did to all Ministers to schedule with CoS Kyari before they can see him.


We await Asiwaju's counter-intrigue.

It is fraudulent document. Do not believe anything you read online. Racism is bad. You are just like Hitler and co who hated jews so much and the result was death of millions of innocent jews. If you have read your history well, first and second world wars were orchestrated by Christian nations, stalin an atheist involved in death of millions and present global terrorism is strongly linked with islam. Love,not hate, is sign of Christianity . Humanity without religion is nothing.

Go and do a passive research on the Communist take over of Russia by Jews funded by the Jewish Rothschild bankster.

What you don't know is that Russian Christians welcomed German troops as liberators.

The Jews destroyed hundreds of Churches but never touched a single synagogue. The Jew Lenin, will later decree antisemitism a crime punishable by death. Why did these Marxist Jews destroy churches but never for once do same for synagogues?

Are you aware that the Jews, after destroying a Russian Orthodox cathedral in St.Petersburg, will later erect a statue of Judas Iscariot?

Jews were a menace to Germany before ,during and after the first world war.

Jews sabotaged Germany's arms industry during the first world war by infiltrating unions and instigating and carrying out strikes.

The treaty of Versille was meant to destroy Germany economically and financially . Jews are evil.

Forget all the nonsense you have read from Jewish historians about Germany.

Germany wanted nothing to do with Jewish multiculturalism, internationalism, and communism aka Judaism aka Zionism.

I wonder why Igbos who are Christians and staunch opposers of multiculturalism and proud nationalists will be supporting the very same people that are pushing for one world govt.

Germannig:
Not when the restructuring clause is set in the law. In any case, each region really needs to be able to manage its affairs to a significant degree.

Those calling for restructuring are not sincere.

The only solution is breakup.

Any gain made by any region through restructuring will be eroded away as long as Nigeria is still ruled by Fulani /Hausas.

The only solution is Nigeria to be broken up into pieces.

All the tribes can relate with each other following conventional diplomacy.

The thing with the TraderMoni stuff is that, it's very easy to associate it with scam or fraud.

Can Osibanjo reconcile with documents (proof) how every kobo of the Trader Moni was spent? If he can't, it's easy to suggest fraud!

All those undocumented traders. What is to stop Osibanjo and co from simply generate 100 non-existent names for every 1 genuine beneficiary?


Looks like a one way ticket to me.

Osibanjo should have been way smarter!
