Okonjo-Iweala.

Our former de-facto Prime minster.

Lets be honest,she was a ten-fold more powerful than Jonathan, hence why she was given the unofficial title by many politicians.

Her being an Igbo could have been the reason why the majority of the south-east voted for Jonathan or in other words out of sentiment.

What many people fail to realise is that the age of impertinence for law is now officially over.

I have seen her defend herself meticulously in interviews, especially the BBC one that she conducted last year. However now she hides behind shaky and contradicting statements made by her press secretariat.

[size=28pt]Members of the Europe army. It does not mean there is 1 country in Europe. They only lied that they move the capital to abuja, because the Igbo people were not facing the truth. they just deceive the igbo people. that is what happened.

dont you notice they wear different military uniform depending on where they are.

When the federal republic of Nigeria vote on ourside it is call oversea voting. The country of western Nigeria is different, that why your marching uniform is the colors of the country of Western nigeria. because they wanted to create a powerful military. 2 countries, with different head of states. buhari and me. Nigeria a republic. Western nigeria is not a republic.

if you doubt if it is the colors of the country of Western nigeria.. look at NDA colors, it is 2 separate countries. it is area of military. we have 2 head of state.. not buhari only. so buhari by international law have no power inside the country of western nigeria.

only boko haram people thing so. most northerners lack exposures.. and never leave the north.. The country of Western nigeria is not the only country that is attending the nigeria defense accademy. other west africa countries attend it. Is nigeria collecting taxes from other west africa countries which attend it. no.

The colors of the unity party was based on the flag of the country of western nigeria. So the flag is not the flag of commander in chief, but the flag of western nigeria.

APC CHANGE. EFCC has unbelievably made an unprecedented transformation, let the change continue.

Can you stop this ranting there no such thing as western Nigeria.

calebo101:
I'm SS and don't need any person to tell me Nigeria is a scam. They succeeded in deceiving our parents cos of lack of education and force but the rising voices in majority of us is so overwhelming. We are determined to pull out of this zoo either by hook or crook. Worse case scenario we will re-negotiate the terms of stay.

If Biafra pulls out, make no mistake the SS will go with them. The few judases and slaves that think otherwise can go to zamfara to live peacefully with their fellow citizens. What similarity do I have with a northerner that makes us one? Eh... how we take relate?

What makes us one is our extensive history that spans over 100 years and you being an IGBO your history spans even longer when it comes to the southwest.You speak out of anger and Ignorance.

I can argue with you unnecessarily but trust me when I say that at 2019 when President General Muhamadu Buhari has finished his first term of presidency and the man has fixed what your brother Jonathan left behind you will definitely not want to leave this great country.

I don't understand some of the unreasonable comments that are on this thread. Did they even read the article at all.

Sanusi in the article is has given a well reasoning theory.

Juxtified:

You know why they're not one tribe? Apart from the obvious fact that there are many sub-ethnic groups ( some may choose to call them clans) like the Egbas & Ijebus as you have mentioned, the yorubas are the most disjointed, politically disunited sets of people in the country. The only common denominator is the language, which if you listen carefully, you'll still see the difference.
The Benins you mentioned have just one Oba, the Oba of Benin. All other traditional rulers are subject to the Oba. They speak with one voice. That, my friend, is unity. That is unity. How many Obas are there among the yorubas? In yorubaland there's a king at every corner of every street - Oba of Lagos, Oni of Ife, Alaafin of Oyo, Oba of Ilora.... Not to talk of the silent strife among themselves. The average yoruba man does not want his brother to succeed or be better than him. While trying to move forward, he's making sure at the same time that his brother lags behind. This is why the Yorubas never has a consensus candidate for any election, why they have never had a leader since Chief Awolowo.

Right, I am not a tribalist bigot so I will not respond to this in the way you are looking for.
The ijebus of Egba are not ethnic minorities their just a sub groups, we all speak one language which is Yoruba, we are not divided among so many ethnic minorities or groups like they are in the south-east or the north we belong to one ethnic group.

Your ranting is absolute nonsense. People who live all the way from the east side of Ogun such as my aunties have to Benin(the country) and still understand their Yoruba. Stop deceiving yourself it is called pathetic fallacy, I don't know what group you belong to but ignorance is eating you up don't comment on stuff you clearly don't understand. Thank you.

jordy101:
all I know is that the wickedness of the wicked shall befall the wicked. for your information, southeast don't have ethnic minority.

When I am talking about the south-east I am talking about the the whole south-east which includes the south-south, there is the main ethic group of which all south-easterners descended from; the igbos. Then there are the other ethnic minorities or groups ( or whatever you like to call it) such as the Ijaws, the Ebibo, Efik and even the Urhobo and so much others.

I don't understand what your implying about the wickedness rant,but do remember Jonathan our recently dissolved president who was widely voted and acclaimed because he came from an ethic minority and a humble background.

Juxtified:
Yoruba is not one tribe

It clearly is. It may have sub groups such as the ijebus e.g but they are all one ethnic group. That indeed is a very positive thing indeed. It's the main reason why yorubas don't clash or have tiny ethnic battles e.g. Yorubaland goes as far as togo.

I'm telling you yorubas are one tribe, the south west is not like the south east or the north which is divided by way to many ethnic minorities, it's straight up simple in the southwest.

The irony of this is that the main reason why Yorubas tend to be so united is because of the historic Benin empire yet modern day Benin(edo state) have their own dialect and many will not consider them proper Yoruba.

@Bold: Just being polite.

Real Headline on vanguard: CBN bans rice, cement importers from forex market
The OP on NL: Buhari Bans Importation Of Rice, Cement

So how come you started attacking the competence of Buhari when the OP was clearly being mischievous with his manipulations? If you had read the post, you would have known.

Attacking, what are you talking about , I have never criticized Buhari as I know him to be a very wise and decisive man.

Indeed, show me where I was attacking the competence of Buhari. I have never and will never be an ignorant Gejite apologist.

egift:


Shut up my dear you are very ignorant. Did you read the news or you got stock at the Headline. In case you did not read it below

Now tell us how Buhari BANNED them from buying and selling their goods?

What is the meaning of that in bold.

Indeed, where did you see that I said Buhari banned them. All I said was that the news wasn't fake, and It wasn't as there was a ban on importation of certain goods, whether the CBN or Buhari put a ban on them it is still an official decision not fake like others insisted.

It would have been better to have expressed yourself without throwing unnecessary insults around.

worksmart:
Ignore fake news.

Buhari can not start making policy before he had appointed his cabinet ministers.

It is not fake. Stop your pessimism it was also on BBC news.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33258942


It's actually an amazing Idea. Once you read the BBC article you will see what I am talking about.

It's what he done back in 1980's to minimize the amount of dollars leaving the country. This will not only immediately reduce the rate of inflation but it will dramatically increase local produce and development and it will close any illegal 'sink holes' where money is being transported.

NO JOKE possible serious conversation:

BUHARI: What possessed you as Muslim to stop feeding your own Muslim ummah during Ramadan.

RUFAI: I am trying to save money.

BUHARI: You are a wicked man, oh yes wicked; these are people who starve from dusk to dawn yet to be told by their governor that after that they will still be no food.

RUFAI: (Thinking) eyaa

barcanista:
It is very clear that you are speaking out of Ignorance. Every month the FG allocates monies to MDAs, pay contractors, pay workers and also earn salaries. All these monies are drawn from the FG Account. Because most times there is shortfall in revenue or due to unforseen circumstannces, even the allocation to the FG is not always enough. Why do you think the FG had to borrow $1b dollars to fund the military last year? Why do you think the FG had to borrow to make up payment of wages and salaries? Do you think monies fall from the sky or there is a Big money somewhere? The FG exhaust every dime in the FG Account because it is meant for that purpose. You will complain if salaries are not paid. Ask Aregbesola or any governor how things are done.

As for crises/emergency, the Sovereign Wealth Fund/ECA is statutorily meant to take care of that and NOT FG share of revenue allocation. You should stop arguinng what you don't know.

The FG Account isn't for safe-keeping! The FG Account isn't for "savings". Why can't you people understand that savings/treasury is the External Reserve and ECA? Is it so hard to understand that the FG Account is not meant to have leftovers but for funding operations of the government? Kai Buharists are ignorant

You are so blatantly idiotic.

I will not answer you again because all you do is write nonsense.

You said money is being paid for workers and other agencies. What world are you living in. It is because of the federal account being empty that there is problems paying workers their salaries. No need to complicate things,we all know which institutions that have the job of distributing the funds.

You being a dumbfounded ignoramuses went on to talk about the what was budgeted for the military last year. Are you ok?
It seems you don't understand yourself that the federal account is empty as of today.

For simpleton minds like your own, if the federal account is empty the treasury is technically and mostly empty. No one is getting paid and no developmental jobs and MDAS are currently going on as there is simply put; no money.

barcanista:
The reserve is for a purpose and not meant to be depleted. That FG borrowed to pay workers is due to revenue shortfall is no blunder. No serious government empties its treasury just like that. Buhari will be foolish to spend all the money in the reserve.

Absolutely. So tell your common ignorant GEJITES that the main treasury account the federal account is empty as the excess crude account and foreign reserves shouldn't even be considered to borrow from. However, Gej and his cronies have completely emptied the main account for the treasury leaving Buhari no choice but to borrow from our rainy day reserves.

I have had enough of this despicable garbage that comes from you GEJITES mouths.

The treasury was virtually empty. Why because there was no money in the federal account which is the main account for the treasury.

The excess crude account and definitely the foreign reserves accounts are emergency funds not the direct treasury. So grow up and stop deceiving yourselves you gullible miscreants

Nkemtreasure:
[b]I thought that he inherited an empty treasury? So there is still some monies in the excess crude [/b]account?
Pls PMB should be careful of these governors because very soon they will also deny that they are about to collect money from ECA.
But can't our governors think of something else to do to raise money instead of every day waiting for Abuja to send us alert?
God help Nigeria

Don't confuse yourself here. The treasury is simply put our federation account. Our excess crude account is something that shouldn't even be touched.

But because were in a complete turmoil and almost reaching(ed) a failed state it is imperative that we use our emergency reserves(e.g excess crude account).

Absolutely, good initiative from a controversial but truly caring African spirited leader.

Atlantian:
Mugabe is one of the brightest minds in Africa history.

That is not a question to be argued with. Did you know that he is the most educated state leader of this world.

Nigeria sai Buhari.


APC

Change.

People are so ignorant.

Indeed, I am against nuclear power, but do remember it's produced by nuclear fission and the radioactive waste is disposed of extremely carefully.

Do not mistake Buhari for Jonathan.

We Nigerians and west Africa in General should be the ones controlling the nuclear power usage as Niger is the fourth biggest producers of uranium and we shouldn't shut out the idea of nuclear power because certain people are too ignorant(induces fear) to understand the benefits of it.

The benefits of nuclear power is more than its negatives; that cannot be said about fossil fuel power plants. For example Nuclear power can last for 1000 of years as they contain alot of energy per kg.

ekenedegreat:
To be together will always be a problem because we don't love each other, our believes are different in terms of religion. traditionally, we are different people. so, there is no way this marriage is going to work. if una no wan tell una selves the truth, me go tell myself the truth.

Go tell that to the majority of countries co-existing together peacefully. Your mindset is not helping at all.

The UK consists of the English, the Scottish, The welsh, and the Nothern Irish (including many other smaller ethnic groups) yet they get along fine.

China the most populated nation on earth, may indeed have problems politically but in terms in ethnic lines their perfectly doing well. If a country of that magnitude can be successful it justs speaks volumes of our attitudes.

No offence but I find it hard why you have such a pessimistic mentality, such that you think our ethnic backgrounds are what is stopping us from moving forward; just remember the 3 million .

All those clamoring for succession, our president has just declared you 'crazy'. I cannot say I disagree with him as we have been one nation for over 100 years,we are too small of a nation to even think of splitting up, in fact we should be trying to claim back more land of which was taken from us by our nieghbours e.g Bakassi.
