Ikengawo: Perhaps the north has failed it's self?




All he is left to do is keep northerners from killing their fellow tribesmen, muslims and regional brothers. How has he failed? Why is he being blamed for this but Boko Haram remains blameless. People that didn't come during his time, and will not leave after are his fault? Ask yourself and answer real questions instead of looking for someone to blame. The SE was racked with our own boko haram in the form of kidnappers. They were ruling with impunity and people didn't even feel safe going home any more. It was Southeastern governors like Chime, Obi, Rochas, Orji and even Amaechi in the south that fought it, NOT the federal government.

They implemented and executed plans of actions. Homes used for kidnapping were demolished. Homes owned by kidnappers were demolished. They equip police with vehicles, the majority of these police vehicles were made by Igbos themselves. Governors put surveillance of abandoned properties, and increased police presence.

The villagers and town's men that were tired of being terrorized because reporting even their own brothers to the police if that brother was a kidnapper because tomorrow that brother could kidnap one of your children. The PEOPLE rose up and said enough is enough and developed a 0 tolerance policy on crime. The combed their neighborhoods and arrested kidnappers before even the police got to them. If the people caught you kidnapping before the police they could even kill you in the street. They also all agreed to stop paying ransom for victims. In a few years kidnapping was gone. Today the east is arguably the safest part of Nigeria from robbery, kidnapping and other vices.

What have northerners done to combat boko haram outside of making excuses for themselves, blame others, pretend it's not happening, and pretend it's a conspiracy? Your leaders having been crippled with cowardice paid boko haram not to kill them. They ran to the UN and begged for boko haram not to be labeled a terrorist organization. Many believed BH to be 'freedom fighters' and propagated that image for BH. They made logical fallacies the modus operand for begging the FG to give Boko Haram scholarships and amnesty. Give me the name of one Igbo kidnapper who's community advocated should be given a scholarship or amnesty for violating their sons and daughters and destroying their communities like Boko Haram.

patrickmuf: The fear of valentines day 2015 is the beginning of wisdom...GEJ, you said what?
See him talking tough because elections is around the corner...You had 2011, 2012, 2013 to crush them but you and your cronies were busy doing what y'all know best i.e looting our common wealth...yeye dey smell

owoatiswag: Wonder how they got the tank in the first place

pascyj: 95% of Nlers on this also know and have said you/your paymasters are lying. I needn't say more.I mean you're lying still when you infer that 95 out of a 100 random nigerians spin.Nothing to spin here right back at you and 5 other people. The reality of the hunger speaks for itself. Your report says poverty reduction is slow because of gej's corruption. No spin,spinner.

pascyj: smh.You post something you didn't read it.Just like your president. Your own report says poverty is extreme in rural areas and that poverty reduction has been extremely slow where you are.Since there're more people like you in rural areas, 70% of Nigerians,it therefore means poverty rate is still chronic at 70%.And that's the reality. Emm,get your head out of the hole,your behind is showing. Your president has reduced poverty in urban areas where the politicians(his friends) are,where there was always less poverty anyway. This means your president is elitist and out of touch with the reality of most Nigerians. And I've not even added the glaring poverty and squalor in urban areas, it's already 70%.Read your own report before posting it.

pascyj: IHowever he said it,fact is:guy lies a lot.

pascyj: Clap for yourself. Digging a bigger hole.70% of Nigerians are in rural areas. Elementary economics. Read the NBS(Nigerian Bureau of Statistics) compiled report for the World Bank again. Btw, were you trying to support your president? This report helps.

pascyj: Ok,you were there.The journalists weren't.I understand,I was just telling you whatever the man said,however he said it, it's still a lie. I'm hoping you understand this now.

pascyj: So there's extreme hunger in Nigeria, Pdp can kill.#smh.Since 1999.He has finally reduced it by 50%.Tell poor extreme hunger-beaten Nigerians other lies.Believing you since forever.

sholatech: Politricks...Before now, he was called a weakling and clueless president with no solution to curb Boko Haram. Now Boko Haram is been defeated and we have a new political theorem that Boko Haram was a scam..

Lordlexyy: You forgotten so soon that Delta state is also part of this country and what affect Deltans affect all indirectly. If they youths get it right through our collective support, be rest assure that other state governors will sit up and work. We must all start the campaign against impunity and corruption from somewhere, and these have taken the lead and we must support them which ever way possible.

Lordlexyy: You simply choose to understand what appeals to you. You rather direct your question to the F.g just like the youth leader is asking the Delta state gov't for accountability into the wastage of trillions of naira without an equivalent development of the said amount.

Lordlexyy: Don't be myopic in your judgement when the truth is staring at you. The article is about the wastage of resources that is common with the south south governors especially Delta state. You complain of the theft at the Federal level while ignoring the rot at your background. I wonder what the situation in the Niger Delta will become if the oil revenue is no longer forth coming. Instead of you to canvass for a change, you are here defending your thiefing politicians.

lafuria1: And what has fayose said so far ? Fayose didn't call his boys to oder , fayose was even present, using same logic, fayose assaulted the judge.

Lordlexyy: Such a shame how some people will still drum up support for these corrupt elements in our society. Very huge allocation these south south governors receive from the federation account, yet with very mediocare and laughable development to show for despite the small land mass and population. No one among these state governors can be said to have performed if we consider what they receive. If track record matter to us, even the incumbent president should be asked to provide document record on achievement when held sway as governor of Bayelsa state as a pre-requisite for a reelection, but unfortunately, such civil call may be taken as an attack on the president. In the develop clime, even your private life is brought under scrutiny to ascertain your fitness for a public office. I support the agitation of the youths and i hope they will sustain it until justice is delivered and for those accusing them, you ought to be ashame of yourself.
