You expect too much from the average Nigeria; you should know better. People remember Nzeribe for his June 12 action; thats why they hate him. I do not think you are aware of how hated Nzeribe is.

My guy people from imo state actually hated nzeribe before that june 12 saga because guys from there knew the kind of person he is.

Katsumoto:
Nzeribe allowed himself to be used to scuttle June 12. He will still pay for that one day; either here on Earth or when he meets his maker. That others acted selfishly does not remove from Nzeribe's sin. Nzeribe's name will remain infamous for ever; Nigerians of the future will remember him like Americans remember Bennedict Arnold.

Like i said earlier only those that do not know nzeribe will think he was 'used' for that ABN.nzeribe did that because NZERIBE wanted to do it.he is not called a maverick for no reason.

Please tell me, is this quote above true? Then if it is, we should better go our different ways. You pple that are trying to preach one Nigeria, u should better rethink! If we refuse to do the right thing now(breaking into our different ethnic group), a generation is coming and very soon that will not take all these nonsense. If you think we are one, you are simply deceiving yourself! Let us siddon look, until this enemy of progress/modernization spread their wicked act to the south and start killing everyone, i think the pple that are left will do the right thing then. Abo oro l'anso f'omoluabi,

You think it mas made up

@post

Nzeribe only cares about spotlight and nothing more.If Nzeribe comes to you for anything simply avoid him because he cares for only NZERIBE and nothing else.

Katsumoto:
It is naive at best or disingenuous at worst to ask anyone to supply details of how Nzeribe looted. Despite years of mis-management and embezzlement of funds in Nigeria, how many people have been successfully prosecuted? We see politicians, ex-military men living in opulence without any credible source of income. Do we not know how they came about the money. IBB is one of the richest men in Nigeria, did he get rich from his stipends? No. Has he been prosecuted for looting? No.

It is also curious to note that those defending Nzeribe can only point to the 60s as the period when he made his money. Also curious is the claim that he scuttled Abiola's June 12 ambition over a petty quarrel yet they claim that he revels in notoriety. I am convinced that Nzeribe took money from IBB to scuttle June 12. That is my opinion. He was not used because he got paid to scuttle the freest and fairest election in Nigerian history. Some want us to believe that a man who made his money from an immoral line of business would not have accepted money to become one of the most hated men in Nigerian history.

Nzeribe makes money when there is strife. He wants the boys in uniform back so that he can profit from the consequent imbroglio. Come to think of it, his defenders are asking for proof of looting; can they also tell us how Nzeribe has been earning his income since his hey days as a gun-runner? That was a long time and although there have been several wars in Africa, did he profit from any of those wars?

There are those who can not debate without resorting to insults; please ignore my post if you can only resort to your usual style of name-calling. I will simply ignore any insults.

I guess you do not know Nzeribe well that is why you are saying what you are saying.

ifihearam:
Are you people surprised at the comment of this controversialist,you see this is the reason why the power shift WILL AND SHALL NEVER get to e IBOS because they have nothing good to offer to this country,all they are interested in is how this country can divide and they have their republic which will never happen.

So nzeribe=igbos

You are an i.d.i.o.t

I Got Only Text Messages before Jos Massacre, Says GOC
•’Governor Jang did not call me’
From Seriki Adinoyi in Jos, 03.12.2010

The General Officer Comman-ding (GOC) 3rd Armoured Division, Jos, Plateau State, Major-General Saleh Maina, has denied getting any calls from Governor David Jonah Jang before last Sunday’s massacre in Dogon-Nahawa, but confirmed that he got text messages forewarning him on the attacks.

Jang had told journalists in Abuja on Tuesday that he called the military commanders, including the GOC, around 9pm on Saturday to inform them of a hint he got on the impending attack, but said the military authorities did not take any action to prevent the tragedy.

Maina said although he got several text messages prior to the mayhem, none came from any official of the Plateau State government as they have claimed. The Nigerian Army had previously denied complicity in the mayhem as suggested by Jang.


Addressing journalists in his office, Maina said: “I want to make it categorically clear that no government official from Plateau State called me prior to the mayhem at Dogon-Nahawa and the surrounding villages, and they all have my phone number.

“However, I’ll like to tell you that some text messages were received by some of my officers which they forwarded to me. And let me just read some of them to you… that some Fulani men were seen in large numbers around Barkin Ladi and Furbon area, and that was 12 minutes to 9pm [on Saturday]. Another text came in at about quarter past 11 pm, and this one said some Fulanis were seen with some weapons around Jos East. None of the texts mentioned Dogon-Nahawa.

“I quickly deployed some troops to Shen and Du areas which were also mentioned in some of the texts. Another troops led by a captain deployed to Dogon-Nahawa area at about 2am, but like you know, the road is very bad and confusing such that even if you go there during the day it is not easy to locate the place until 2.45 am, and they moved round the place. And at about 3.41am report came in that some Fulanis were operating at Dogon-Nahawa and the surrounding villages, and I sent troops that were there at about 5 am. And at 8am, I sent a larger troop. In this process three of the attackers were killed and some others arrested.”
The GOC said he did not want the journalists present to ask him more than two questions.

“Well, I wanted to call off this press briefing since the Defence Headquarters has said most of the things I wanted to say. But I decided to just clarify some issues,” he explained.

Maina said some statements from government official are inciting and would not help in managing post-crisis situations.
“Military is the last line of defence. But so much damage has been done to the image of the military and that is not good. If military can go out of the shores of this nation to win laurels, how much more within the country?” he asked.

He said Jang was a military man who has risen so high that he was twice a military governor, and that he would be surprised if it is not a media mischief that such statements were credited to him.

Maina said he had managed crises of various kinds credibly, including that of Maiduguri where Muslims were the major casualties, and he has never been faulted on the ground of discrimination. He said some of the soldiers were maltreated, beaten and injured but that he has continued to pacify them, “and that is how to manage post-crisis situation”.

On the calls for his removal, Maina declared that he has been saying “Amen, Amen, and Amen”. He said the military is apolitical, adding that he was not brought to Jos through voting or through any call from some ethnic groups, and would not be transferred by such calls.

Meanwhile, former Chief of Defence Staff, General Domkat Bali (rtd), has expressed fear that the military is beginning to divide along religious line, a development he described as dangerous for our national unity.
He said: “Major General Saleh Maina has lost the trust of the people, he is believed to be play along religious line, and that is too bad not only for Plateau State but for the nation as a whole.”

Plateau women, dressed in black attires, yesterday marched to the State House of Assembly and the Government House, Jos, demanding the removal of Maina

Where did the above demonstration happen?

otele:
yes, that is the way nigeria works. something this bad happens and you say forget it. nothing happens and then after sometime another one happens and we say forget it. once we forget it, we unwittingly trivialise it and then it will repeat.

we've been ''forgetting'' things for over 5 decades and they kept repeating

Otele ihe mu a na-ekwu wu okwu arurala  

EzeUche:
Shut up!

It is easy for you to say this, since your loved one has not died in this conflict.

They should get their revenge. I am tired of Christians screaming turn the other cheek. This country is sinking fast, so let them seek their revenge.
