You and this your "igbofocus" hate link you have been desperate to share on every thread. Igbo leaders visited one buhari and you unproductive lots are angry. You produce nothing, earn nothing and contribute nothing other than hate and noise. Again I ask you; what do you contribute to the national coffers that gives you hateful tribe of parasites the guts to dictate to the hardworking productive clans when to vist a president elect? It is you fulani asz licking serfs that should be begging easterners to visit. We can turn off oil tap and starve you to death.. When ever it is time to share, you become noisy, but when it is time to contribute , you are found wanting. Bunch of loudmouthed owanbeic parasites.. We are individualusic, yet we gave you one Azikiwe, that got you your indepndn! We can't biuld as collectives, yet we biuld villages that dusts your rusty-roof cave enclaves you call capitals. You are super administrators, yet your living standard is lower than mine. . PPP -Proud Primordial Parasites..

ideykwum:
You're truly a denigrate and empty vessel! No need to reply you! I'm sure you entertain a certain sort with your vituperations, but I'm not amused! Go sleep, pretender!

BushidoBlue:
Hello everyone.... here is another stewpeed post.

Is PDP an Igbo party, is GEJ Igbo? So because the highest votes came from Igbos for PDP, automatically that makes PDP Igbo Hahahahahaaa haters plenty for Naija o.

Listen have we had an Igbo President? We're there other tribes in PDP in the past 16 years of rot as you claim? If so please name them and their posts held along with their contribution.


Seriously your reasoning just failed you. Rethink and reset your "hate-o-meter".

ideykwum:
You see how imbecilic you are? I'm an Okrikan! Lol! And a minority! I think I'm being beginning to understand what Igbos go through...

I tried to reason objectively with you, but because you assumed that anyone defending or taking a neutral stance on Igbos must be Igbo, you vomited your vile and bigotry!!

I'm ashamed of you! I don't know where you are from, but you're an imp and extremely dysfunctional!! May God help you!

owobokiri:
More visits and disturbances awaits him. We will never leave him alone. He was the one that fought hard to win the presidency. He as a preident must solve eastern problems. More visits are on the way and we will never rest untill he explains in pratical terms the aims and objectives of his presidency vis a vis the igbo question! We are making legitmate demands and as president of Nigeria, he MUST provide answers!

Igbos only fights for their individual gains. They seldom join social causes where they fight for the larger society

ideykwum:
You're not being objective! The answer you should have given is that Igbos are the majority tribe in that region, and naturally would take a lot of flak! Your answer portrayed a lack of objectivity and crass bigotry! It's not fair to always label all Igbos (remember the total number of Igbos that supported APC may be more than the whole Itsekiri population that did) and it doesn't portray you as reasonable!!!

TheSonOfMark:

All I see is a gynohumanoid whose face is smeared WITH EMULSION PAINT and capped with FAKE WEAVES making her seem like a faded geisha.
IF SHE'S TRULY BEAUTIFUL AND CONFIDENT SHE SHOULD UPDATE PICTURES OF HER MAKE-UP-FREE FACE WHICH HAVEN'T BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED.


Don't be a vidiot- don't believe everything you see. Remember the Anna Banner controversy? FAKE GIRLS!

ceejayluv:
No, it's not.... you can check previous posts on NL since gmb won. I've also seen comments on other social media and clearly, the gmb supporters have gotten more divisive in victory. They could have as well forced us to vote their general at suya knife-point. By the way, I never heard them condemning the ibibio, efiks, urhobo, issoko, anang, kalabari, itshekiri, etc. for giving gej nearly flawless landslide votes as well. Why ibos?

ceejayluv:
Fair enough, so can you buharists go and bask in your "change" euphoria and stop heckling a group of people for DEMOCRATICALLY voting in line with their conviction? over 40% of Nigerians can't all be daft. We look forward to the new administration.

babydioku:
Yea thanks to igbos in lagos. Enjoy my dear

babydioku:
And you what tangible things have you gained since your political-back-stabbing years. Ndi-uchu

ceejayluv:
Not everybody bought the "change" hype. Wake up!.. dunno if you were expecting gmb to get 100% votes. Are you telling me that ALL the NW votes were cast based on rational issues? No!, the average NW person wanted their brother and champion in aso rock. The one that got the simple majority was declared winner, simple. Now let's look forward to the new administration.

A second bridge on the great River Niger is a vote catcher any day in the Southeast. This explains why when Jonathan came along in 2011 he played the same old bridge trick on Ndigbo. I will build this bridge for you before the end of my tenure if you vote me, he told the gullible tribe down the banks of the old River Niger. Now totally disconnected from his previous pledges, he had gone to Obi of Onitsha recently for a rehearsal of the 2015 election campaign when he was reminded about the bridge. Yes, the bridge, the bridge! It actually ought to be nearing completion. Pronto, the project was ‘kicked-off’ in an elaborate ceremony about two weeks later. It is to be a PPP to be completed in 2018 and the bridge will be tolled for 25 years by the concessionaires, Julius Berger.

What manner of arrangement is this that allows for 25 years tolling? Will the bridge be paved with gold slabs? Who controls this 25-year bondage? Yet Igbo leaders gushed with appreciation; one particularly who spoke at the occasion of the ground-breaking said, “President Jonathan has demonstrated an uncommon love for Ndigbo and Nigeria at large by the commencement of work on the second Niger Bridge.”
But Igbo wu Igbo unu mu kwa anya? Will you allow yourselves be suckered again. Ta bu gboo; what you do not get now you may well say goodbye to.

babydioku:
What defeat?

ceejayluv:
That's the game, man... Buhari hasn't even heard anything yet. When he's sworn it, he'll know how hot the seat is. The reality of leadership in Nigeria is to embrace and preside over people that even wish you dead- reality check!

ceejayluv:
Election ain't war. The elders above didn't go to visit on a political platform. They're a socio-cultural platform and have to pay homage to who the simple majority of electorates voted to be president. The PDP chiefs in the southeast and other zones will definitely do their calculations.

obayaya:
And your point?

[s]Whatever that point is doesn't take away the fact that the bridge is under construction..

Your epistles cannot change that.. So save the energy for more important fights[/s]

obayaya:
The most important thing is that finally, the bridge is under construction regardless of the method of financing and the contract..

When the bridge is finally completed, we'll revisit the tolls and the other terms.. Then we'll see if it's beyond the government of the day to buy back that concession..

or will JB carry the bridge on their head back to Germany if somehow the terms of the concession becomes impossible to meet?

Lesson: Do not try to get by force something you can get through deception..

PhockPhockMan:
Was this picture of the bridge during construction?
