JESUS CHRIST WAS REJECTED BY HIS PEOPLE......THE JEW!

valicious1:
Ihedioha, ihenacho and co are just
lucky they couldn't make it n d
elections cos they would av done
absolutely nothing in governance
owing to the huge debts
accumulated by Rochas. I just have
an over brimming large magnitude
of pity for the unfortunate fellow
that would take over from rochas,
he would basically have to work, pay
salaries, build roads etc with his
personal salary cos by then rochas
would have totally and absolutely
run and milked the finances of the
state dry.

And u didnt the empty treasury jonathan ia leaving behind for buhari?clear ur eye of the bigotry and be factual And reasonable,atleast for once!

[quote author=CHESTER48 post=33500561][/quote]I will like u to lead the cause with ur family on the street,fire thd first shot and declare a biafra nation....instead of just ranting on nairaland,that is not how mandela fought for freedom.....u can make more real than this!

EUROBOMBER:
Fellow Nigerians, I have taken time to study recent happenings in our nation before and after the elections and I have come to conclude that there is a grand plan to start some kind of war in Nigeria. Some people thought that the last presidential election was going to be the last straw to break the camel's back but are still in shock that the presidential election has been conducted and Nigeria is still at peace even with the incumbent losing the election.
Discerning minds can see that a pattern has been set to overheat the system especially by generating so much hatred and tension between the Igbo and the Yoruba. The rate at which it is going it is looking like one week one trouble. The pattern is that there is usually a provocative comment (alleged or true) made by a prominent Yoruba and somehow this is fed to the public and when the get to know of such comments, they become overwhelmed with anger.
Just check:
Before all these started, recall that a Twitter account was identified where a young man was calling for the killing of all the Igbos. Now I believe that the picture shown on that twitter account might even be that of someone that died many years ago. That twitter account was most likely created by the wicked forces outside Nigeria that intend to spark of a bloody ethnic conflict in Nigeria.
1. The case of the Yoruba Oba of Lagos-HRH Oba Akiolu where the Igbos were threatened with death in the Lagos lagoon.
2. The case of the Yoruba cardiologist in the US where a call for genocide against the Igbo was seen on his facebook page. (He says his account was hacked)
3. Most recently the case of the Yoruba Nobel Laureate-Prof Wole Soyinka released by the Cables revealing some provocative comments about the Igbo.
I want every intelligent mind to observe this, in the case of Dr Ariyo, he said his account was hacked and I am inclined to believe that this is true. The people behind this agenda to set Nigeria on fire are most likely the same people that used his facebook account to post such hate words against the Igbo. These are the same people that opened that twitter account I mentioned earlier where a call to kill all Igbos was made.
Look at the case of Prof Wole Soyinka too, how can an organisation like the Cable release such hate speech and tagging it to this man if not that some powerful forces were behind such. It is this same group of people that want Nigerians to start killing one another that used the Cables site to release that speech. Wole Soyinka himself has denied ever making such comments.
My Igbo and Yoruba brothers, please wake up and see that there are powerful forces pulling the strings underground to cause hatred between us and the agenda is to take it to a level where it will be too much to bear and violence would be the only solution. The forces behind this ultimately want a massive show of bloodshed in Nigeria starting with the Igbo vs Yoruba. Some people initially thought that the boko haram problem up north would start a religious war in Nigeria especially when churches were been blown to pieces every week but that failed. They later on resorted to attacking Muslims in the north even in their mosques to see if that would anger the muslims enough to start a massive campaign of violence against Christians but that also failed.
Let us all be wise and open our eyes, these forces plotting to plunge Nigeria into war are likely operating outside Nigeria. The boko haram option in Northern Nigeria failed to start the needed Christian vs Muslim war and boko haram is gradually winding down activities. Let us continue to pray for this nation and keep our emotions in check so that we do not witness a sort of bloodshed in this country that would be second to none in history. These evil forces have now shifted their attention to the Southern part of Nigeria and intend to start a campaign of massive bloodshed by starting a violent Igbo vs Yoruba conflict. We are too big to start a bloody confrontation against ourselves in this country, where do we run to for refuge? The numbers in Lagos alone can overwhelm Cotonou and even Ghana/Togo with a massive influx of refugees. How much refugees can flee through Bakassi? How much refugees can flee from the North into Niger Republic & Chad? Just with the boko haram problem Niger is already complaining and sending backing Northern Nigerian refugees.
This is the only county we have and we must do all we can to protect this country and ensure progress & development.
This message is especially for all the Igbos & Yorubas whose hearts have now been darkened and filled with so much anger and hate waiting to manifest. Let us put the evil ones to shame and ensure that their dream of an Igbo-Yoruba war does not come to pass!
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!

Solidly in support of this....it will be a disgrace to us all if nigeria of anytribe cannot resolve our differences amicably and plan a way to a successful future
WE ARE TOO BIG TO FAIL
GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

@OP: First, you have expressed an opinion which I respect and believe falls within your right. However, I will want to respond to some issues which I think is malicious and very far from the truth...

Neither the Ijaws nor any ethnic group in the Niger Delta benefitted from Jonathan's government save the politicians and so-called militants. In fact, it was a case of Jonathan mslapping us with peanuts and not what we deserve.(in his own case a better peanut).

Jonathan was more interested in power than the emancipation of the Delta until it dawned on him that the Northern elite are resolved to return power to their region. It is a known fact that the last National Conference was an insult to our collective intelligence. The demand for Resource Control/50% Revenue on Oil and gas was killed and was never even considered. To show that Jonathan does not know what he was doing, he failed to give the Confab a legal framework that will see the reports go through a referendum for adoption.

The APC as a party is filled with people whose antecedents we shouldn't even be discussing. People that in saner climes should be in jail. But what happened? Some people took advantage of the situation to form a consortium just to tell Jonathan that he isn't going for second term and they remain the "godfathers". However, the voting pattern of March 28 shows that the unity of this country is FAR from the truth. We have fundamental structural flaws which I believe must be addressed if we are to progress as a nation. If this can't be addressed, then the call for referendum should be the next legitimate call. Niger Delta struggle does not start and end with Jonathan's ambition.

I respect the right for the Ogoni nation to stand alone and I am 100% in support of a federating unit exclusively for Ogoni nation. I believe the right to self-determination of ethnic nationalities should be respected if we are to achieve peace. However, I believe that the unity of the SE/SS bloc should be seen as a welcome development for our collective progress. Any ethnic group that feel the need not to be a part can pull out and stand on their own.

I believed its high time u guys should start acting the talk not just talk the talk......but same APC u almost died for not quite long.....truely a man without integrity is not worth living!

dav8id:
in my state is not even up to 10k for kwaria (nasarawa state) but now is not the best time for yam business...for good output i suggest one start during the season then storage it and resell when during the off peak season

depend on the size and ur technique of buying it....but in niger,yam of 12k will be a good bargain,it will command a good price in a place like lagos,if ur yam is too small,it might pose a problem to sell.
If u ve means of buying....serikin pawa,kuta,qwada re good places to buy yam in niger!

Proudly OMO ODUA
I think the write up is reasonable enough to applause the writer......its devoid of sentiment and tribalism.....how i wish nigeria of those two tribes mentioned could amend their ways and forge ahead for progress....i think nigeria as a country need to two to be united to make a great nation that africa can be proud of.....personally i ve enjoyed my relationship with emeka my business partner,we never see ourselves as a threat but partner in progress,who strongly believe in the strenght of each other and ready to help balance up our weakness......until i came to nairaland and shown the way to be a tribalist but on this day i droppe my personal ego and ready to be a hero in championing a united cause that will help build a nation base on love,equity,fairness and justice......i employ everyone to begin to be an agent of change if truely we need a country to call our own and may God grant me the grace to keep to my allegiance,coz nairaland can be tempting sometimes,but i believe the love will superseed and see me through!

barcanista:
Can you separate Resource control from true federalism? What was the demand of SS in the 2005 Confab? Who was the Chief opponent of the Confab apart from the North? Should we go back memory lane? The call for Resource Control/50% derivation, apart from the SE, which other region supported it at the 2014 Confab?

regional autonomy and 50% resource control which is best?

barcanista:
Like I told one of your colleague, the demand for Fiscal Federalism and Resource control has always been on. At the last National conference, Fiscal Federalism was the chief of our demand. No time have we backed down from the demand to accept the status quo. You don't have to agree with me but you can't deny the obvious.

please don't distort fact,fiscal federalism agitation was championed by soutwest leaders,before southsouth supported this in the Jonathan administration during the national conference,even Edwin Clark said this and confirmed it was champion by the south west even since military regime. .....the south east are not part of the cause like u said,even at the national conference what they made paramount was a creation of new state to balance equation. ....please go back to history and clear urself on who is the champion of this cause.....aside that when Jonathan was there,why didn't he implement the said agitation at least for his people!

MzJackBaueress:
And you think there isn't someone who gives them the go ahead?

Why not arrest them?

dont mind them,the truth is that Nigeria govt and senior politicians know more about this,they are part and parcel of the illegal mining......with my little experience In solid minerals in a state like bauchi,Jos,kano etc,we 've a lot of Chinese in all these states backed by one top govt officials in partnership with their local people and emir,to mine.....and u can also asked who cleared them for export and where is the route they export if not still same govt officials.
YEYE DEY SMELL

kenonze:
From the eve of independence, he led the Action Group as the Leader of the Opposition in the federal parliament, leaving Samuel Ladoke Akintola as the Western Region Premier. Serious disagreements between Awolowo and Akintola on how to run the Western region led the latter to an alliance with the Tafawa Balewa-led NPC federal government. A constitutional crisis led to the declaration of a state of emergency in the Western Region, eventually resulting in a widespread breakdown of law and order.

Excluded from national government, Awolowo and his party faced an increasingly precarious position. Akintola's followers, angered at their exclusion from power, formed the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) under Akintola's leadership. Having previously suspended the elected Western Regional Assembly, the federal government then reconstituted the body after manoeuvres that brought Akintola's NNDP into power without an election. Shortly afterwards Awolowo and several disciples were arrested, charged, convicted (of treason),[8] and jailed for conspiring with the Ghanaian authorities under Kwame Nkrumah to overthrow the federal government.[9] The remnants of the Action Group fought the national election of 1965 in alliance with the largely Igbo, and south-eastern NCNC. Amid accusations of fraud from the NCNC-AG camp, the NPC-NNDP won the election; the AG supporters reacted with violent riots in some parts of the Western region. Awolowo was later freed by the military administration of General Yakubu Gowon who subsequently appointed him Federal Commissioner for Finance and Vice-President of the Federal Executive Council. This took place in the unsettled circumstances immediately preceding the Civil War.

thank God for his arrest,remember the coup that killed akintola the traitor,and the northern leaders the tormentors would 've affect him as well.....but God used the prison to save awo. ....there is opportunity in adversity!

Why r u so tribalistic?

why will u care about what a buffoon is saying?
it is not my culture to insult ladies coz I respect them the most,but there is different between a real lady and an uncluttered/untutored asshole. ...imagine d dustrace the nonnentity would be caused his husband and unborn generation. .....I always see some of her unreasonable comment,but since I know the writer is one unreasonable fellow,so I didn't deem it fit to respond!

Schematics:
Great Zik of Africa was the first president of Nigeria. Being the first president of Nigeria is so unique. Its a fact known all over the world. Some people even wanted to be president for just one day but they never succeeded. Stop crying and face the reality.

He didn't achieve anything in your poisoned mind but he is the most honored nationalist in Nigeria; the most important airport is named after him, Nigeria's highest denomination has his image, all the major cities from Abuja, Lagos, PH, Onitsha, Kano, kaduna, etc has major roads named after him. FG built mausoleums in his honor at his birth place in Zungeru and in Onitsha where he was buried.

Fools, coup plotters and non achievers are not honored in such a powerful manner. Keep whining and crying because its justified, you have every reason to be crying.

he achieved the first ceremonial president in the history of Nigeria that cannot even control the defence and make critical decision without the consult of his master balewa and co.. .oh u forgot even his people from the east didn't even deem it fit ti honour ling after his death.... after so much pressure that peter obi have to be forced to help to rescue his burial ground from total collapse. ....so In Ur sick mind,Abuja airport is strategic than Lagos?typical way of reasoning of an igbo man when they want to manipulate things and distort history to their favour....even ur people from the east hate ZIK with passion,reason they valued ojukwu far more than him. ....ZIK is one of the greatest cheat to ever happen to Nigeria just like lord luggard!

Schematics:
Great Zik of Africa was the first president of Nigeria after laying the foundation of Nigeria. Its something nobody has achieved ahead of him.

Zik is number one and foremost nationalist out of Nigeria and among the best out of Africa. Deal with it. Lolzz

stop beating around the bush....name one single socio developmental project or program ZIK achiever when he was alive
a ceremonial president is not achievement,especially when u are made non functional as a president under a northern hierarchy!

Schematics:
Go and read up your history. I am done with this back and forth with a toddler.

accept it or not.....ZIK was a CHEAT!!!
mention one single human development legacy he left behindand u are a bloody liar to relate zik with Nigeria and independence,was he the one that move the motion or where in the place in history he fought for independent, when the western region of this country was the one that first gained independent that they called self independent,before the eastern region follow?please u better go back to ur history....ZIK was an errand boy to the northern oligarchy and was only fighting for his own self glorification! !!

rexbuton:
You have totally misread or misunderstood my post.. Let's stick to issues please, no insults

oh no I'm not trying to insult u,just trying throw more light into what seems hidden.....and if it seems like an insult,I'm sorry!

rexbuton:


Good ! I love this.. This was what I didn't want to be the first to say.. We are not brothers, the one Nigeria gist is a tale for housemaids..
It's only sad that you're just saying this now, instead of far back in 1999.. My people back in the south are illiterate and cannot see beyond what's fed to them on newspapers and radio.. They still believe the one nigeria dream and would still vote your brother in the next elections.. I know things are not quite different in the east too
Jonathan failed everyone south of the Niger and if I were his brother, I would flog him.. But nothing spoil sha.. He's outta there and your brother is there now, even if he's in assistant slot he can still swing things..
But i will make it very clear to you that this elections have made things very clear to Nigerians, that a new era of ethnic nationalism has been born, where everyman would decide his own fate.. In 2019, the Yorubas would want power back, I hope they have sufficient numbers because the day the Youruba man goes to meet the Igbo man for votes, it would be similar to the rat meeting the cat for a matchbox.
The prospect of a stronger alliance with the North is very appealing, but you know your tribe cannot do that without the south being put in play..
Long live the protectorate of the Niger. Personally i am tired of this Nigeria bullshít

I think u didn't know history. ....I can tell it to Ur face that the east has never support the west before and after the civil war....infact the same north u guys are rejecting today has been Ur political partner even before independence and reason Ur lord ojukwu was compensated with a ceremonial post.....even Ur warlord supported shagari and babangida....so I don't understand what I mean by seeking political assistant from you,the relationship that has never and will never exist? this will be the only time in history that a Yoruba formed party aligned with a northern party and Ur party was also invited which u refused because of Ur hatred....while azikwe aligned with NORTHERN PEOPLE'S CONGRESS,awolowo was satisfied with Action Group....so I didn't see the alliance u re talking about.....thank God same Nigeria u are tired of today,azikwe brought us into this mess despite awo going against it and even qualifying it with a mere geographical region and even suggested any aggieved region should be allow to separate without war through our constitution which Ur same son azikwe objected far there in UK,before ojukwu saw it and fought a senseless,unplanned war.......brother go back to Ur history book and not what Ur aggrieved father is telling you!

babestella:
Everyone played all manner of cards for this election. The fact is that even if GEJ had performed, they will still vote him out.

maybe he should ve performed and they still vote him vote then we can discuss base on that.... and mind you posterity can never be voted out!

rexbuton:
Because GEJ made a mistake that you and I may have made too... When you were a student if you lived on campus and wanted to run for an elected post would you see the need to campaign in your own room? or in your own block? GEJ wanted to return by all means, probably then he would develop his south but then he misread the game. He thought we were all brothers down south, that we would stand by him for his last stand. He focused on the North thinking they were the only people to be appeased but he didnt know that we had real fifth columnists down south. Like you said, he didn't do anything in your area, and that is a very valid point. He trusted you, thinking you could read beyond the news, thinking you could read his mind but he was wrong, he was a novice.

We southerners are angry at Jonathan because he did not correct the imbalances between north and south. If the north had massively voted for Jonathan and we in the south voted him out, it would have been more comprehensible and easier to take. Not the fact that the ones he trusted played the Infidel card on him.. so sad

We must learn a lesson from the sad tale of GEJ, no group is expendable. And the Hausas are not our rulers. Nobody has the birth right to rule

so is this Ur valid reason he should fail to perform for good six years.....because he expect me to wait for 6yrs after neglect. ....because he want to appease the north?he should ve leave the income of the region for that same period so that he can be busy with the north,not rubbing peter to pay Paul.......and also please get it clear Jonathan is and will never be my brother,I'm a yoruba man to the core,while he is an ijaw man....we ve nothing in common,and nothing like one south unlike the north.....so my loyalty is not to him,cox d south cannever and will never be one,so let address ourselves as one Nigeria for the main time and if the one Nigeria cannot work.....let the separation begin and we can see ourselves as neighboring country. .....I can't be one with a tribe that will not respect my culture!

babestella:
The northerners played the "infidel"/religious card first. It was all a tool to get power back.

it is not a news that northerners has been playing religious sentiment,but if GEJ performed he will still get the vote of other regions e.g southwest,North central where he failed woefully,mind u Jonathan even play more than religious card,also tribal,ethnic sentiment and a lot propanga like name calling and his wife.....or what will u say to VP.sambo that campaigned in the north that APC want to christianize Nigeria ? people that voted Jonathan especially in the east ans south south,is it not on religious,tribal and ethnic sentiment that made them voted Jonathan because if by performance Jonathan should not ve Upto 30% vote in all region of this country...... guy no matter how u want to paint it Jonathan failed more percentage of Nigerians and reason they voted for change!

20pounds:
This is just the truth!

Buhari Presidency is a product of propaganda and I wait to see him sustain his government with propaganda. The core north wanted one of their own to take back 'their' power. The person was Buhari. Tinubu keyed into the plan out of his own design to pull the rug from their feet when the time comes. He supplied the propaganda machinery in the south west, the Imams finished the job for him in the north. The rest is history as both partied had gotten what they wanted.

Sit back and watch the unfolding drama. It is a shame that when we want to make progress as a country, an event will take us back to where we started from.

President Jonathan has done his bit to Nigeria. He is not a saint and has his failings as man but history is going to and have started judging him rightly.

God bless Nigeria!

and Jonathan used oyedepo,FFK,lord chosen etc.to also swing religious vote to his side as well but his game wasn't enough infact it back fire....so why blaming the north alone as if even u in particular didn't vote along religion sentiment!

rexbuton:
THE SOUTH WAS CONNED..

WE HAVE LEARNT

LET US HOPE OUR INCOMING PRESIDENT DOES WELL

WE ALREADY KNOW OUR CHOICE IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS, WE DON'T EVEN NEED CAMPAIGNS

thank God the guy only talked about what GEJ did for the notherner.....so tell me what he did for the people of southwest,because my vote was base on his performance for my region and the place I reside that directly affect me as a Nigeria but unfortunately he performed poorly.....so do u expect me to vote him
GEJ to me is a failure in all governance index!

barcanista:
Thanks for your words

u re welcome bro...sincerely I'm one of die-hard fan back then,always waiting to read Ur right up which are mind blowing and very insightful. . ..though I read the same article u wrote that led to u digressing,maybe the way some Apc guys countered the argument,but one thing u must always understand is that u ve to always stand for what u believe,and one or two person opinion is not enough to make u give up on Ur cause.....and it's wrong when u always want to flow with the tide,with that u just be like a person that stand for nothing. ....if u don't stand for something u die for nothing. ....my support for APC today is base on personal convictions,not base on religious,tribal or ethnic sentiment. ....same way I do see u then,and I believe u can still ve a rethink ans correct the abnormalies......I believe u are made to be a king not a servant,so come back to the palace,that is where u are needed..... 1LOVE BRO!

barcanista:
Saraki a hero? Amaechi a Hero? Well the APC and Dele can even call Sylva a hero, that's their business.

As long as the WOrLD and Nigerians are concerned th Heroes of March 28 are Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan, the PDP and the Nigeria people.

truely this guy lost it.....I use to like his article not for political reason but always well articulated and informative but u digress....I just pray u won't loose it in the real life,coz in as much Im disappointed in you,I still believe u ve a lot of things to offer this world and try to tread the path of truth,there u can still find light!

CountDracula:
Who cares?

Ur leaders does.....unlike a nobody like you.....even if u hug transformer no one cares about the outcome!

op...if dokpesi is Ur hero,then Ur generation is doomed!

all I can say is that I love igbo girls........if it take more than what in this pics to marry my babe,no matter the tribe....I will gladly pay the due.... afterall a senator from zamfara paid 100000USD for a 16yrs old Egyptian girl,so nothing bad if I pay more than that for my real love Nigerian babe......I am a man of class,so I ve taste for good things! !!

opeaceo:
That's too harsh.

remember that their corruption is too extreme aswell!

The outcome of the elections just dawned on him?
He's not bitter about GEJs loss, he's seriously thinking of his company's debt.
For those that had to be rushed to the hospital, I have nothing to tell them.

but as for me I ve something to tell the patients. ....I wish then quick death so that Nigeria can take her rightful position in the comity of nation.....but before they die EFCC should swing to action to recover all our stolen funds home and abroad. ....the password is needed before they die!
