What does this sort of thread hope to achieve?

Kobojunkie:
How does one include a video?>

Quiet, I'm talking to someone who is infinitely more intelligent than yourself. Sit down and learn. Twerp.

Aigbofa:
Lagoon state? You are really crazy, you know that? Why don't you just make every neighborhood a state, that way you can pacify everyone who wants their own little fiefdom.

Lol! When your fellow citizen feels so wretched, violated and abandoned that they desperately want out, you describe the unbiased observer as crazy.
Summing your input above, it would seem that ethnic groups can be too small for justice, dignity, identity and equity. Such thinking is a short step from danger for the target, whether you realise it or not.

Ethnic bigotry is a simply a primitive expression of low self esteem. It has no place in the new Nigeria.

Aigbofa:
Why are you crying more than the bereaved. I haven't seen any Egun on the streets of Lagos protesting any marginalization. I'm hearing it from you for the first time.
I don't know anyone who can be more ignorant than you around here. Drunken sailor.

You are hearing it for the first time? Yes, I'm here to school you and I'm happy to have acheived something.
The one thing bigotry does to you is cut off your observational, analytic and empathetic powers. It makes you a low and primitive creature, something skulking in the murky dark, whereas you could be so much more.

You do not know about the Egun and their deepest yearnings in your own backyard, because you are too busy being an empty supremacist; talking trash, whereas you have a good brain. You have never heard their heart wrenching craving for a Lagoon state, because the primal nature of ethnic bigotry has dulled your senses to the point of uselessness. If you sit still, I will teach you.

Really? lol!

Aigbofa:
No, I'm describing the dum-dum with the ridiculous hat, who doesn't seem to know his right hand from the left.

Come on! Don't scale back the obvious. Every Niger Delta person knows the words you used are a racist slant against them.
Thats why I say you are referring only to your compound.

I know that the truth is like a mortal blow to you bigots, so here's a few facts about the Egun people who you bigots cruelly marginalise and culturally rap'e and assimilate:

Egun people are Ewe people. Their culture, music dance and LANGUAGE is Ewe. Egun peeps can actually go to Ghana and be understood on the streets there by Ewe people, you can't.

Egun people migrated from Ghana.

Will it kill you to accept that they aren't Yoruba? No matter how much you dream that they should be? Stealing an ethnic groups identity is destroying its soul; it is the worst form of ethnic bigotry.

Egun people claim to be Egun and feel insulted by those who call them Yoruba.

lol. Now hang yourself, because you are bloody ignorant (one of the foundational requirements for bigotry).

Aigbofa:
He's an idio.t. I didn't realize he is such a sociopath.

Yeah, I spoil parties thrown by bigots. I will continue to proudly poo in your pot.
Eguns were first in Lagos, but unrefined bigots like you only see them as dirt. Shame on you.

Aigbofa:
Four years is a long time for the drunken sailor. We shall be waiting patiently to see his heroic liberation of these poor oppressed people of Lagos state.

Again, you are describing your compound, from the elders to the tots. lol
Jealousy na bad tin.

Just wait and see how fashionable it would be to oppress minorities in the near future. We live in a new Nigeria, where the task at hand is to rid the place of all forms of bigotry and primitive baying wild-eyed groupings. Bigotry will be forced to go out of fashion, and unrepentant bigots will be dealt with as borderline hate filled crazies.

Aigbofa:
@Beaf

Since your boss in now the "duly" elected president of Nigeria, why don't you advice him to start the process of creating a state for the "marginalized" Egun in Lagos state.

I know the drunken fisherman is a dum-dum, he can actually heed your advice.

Bigot, I bet your compound is who you are describing. Let jealousy kill you. lol
Yes, the oppression and marginalisation of the Egun minorities will need to be addressed by all, including you.

It is left for the dreamy eyed to deny reality, as well as stretch the definition of Yoruba to include Ghanaian languages; how do these ethnic bigots think Egun people feel about it? Do the Egun deserve their own identity? The ethnic bigots don't care.
Is it any wonder that Egun people feel marginalised enough to want a state carved out away so they can have a sense of identity?

Ethnic bigots always live in cuckoo land, creating their own private versions of reality like Hitler did.
We spectators will only look on and laugh most of the time, at other times, we will speak strongly.
Ethnic bigotry is the act of shooting oneself in the foot and placing the arse in the mouth.

Egun is not Yoruba. Let it kill the bigots here giving each other solace and talking schizoid crap.
Again. . . This is the proof (an Egun video);

[flash=480,385]

I also laugh when simpletons talk about voting with the core-North. In the first place, there will never be enough states; secondly, kids and goats will be purged from the NW voters register, I have few doubts that it will bring their voter population to between 3 and 4 million (or even less). The trimming of voter numbers in the NE will produce even more startling figures.

Now, to the common fun, sense part, I wonder who is ever going to convince the man on the street to vote with the core-North? lol
I will keep repeating it to Tinubu lovers, you are headed for irrelevance if that man is not ejected.

gokuu: The forum is for SW People not yorubas, i'm SW but egun and we are not yoruba, @yemmight: pls can u tell us what OBJ brought to the SW for 8yrs in govt? How come we have sold all our lands to the igbos yet we cannot buy in the east? If u've been to alaba, u'll notice that the igbos are shop owners while yorubas/hausas are carrying load, is that not imperialism? Before PDP, what did we get 4rm AD which is now posing as ACN? Patricia was given SW slot and she went to steal the whole Abuja? Pls be objective in your analysis!

You are a breath of fresh air on NL! The supremacists have reacted almost violently to arguments that Egun people have no relationship with Yoruba and are not in the least bit. They argue that you are a Yoruba subgroup, even though they cannot understand a word of Egun. When I provide videos, they get irate.
The only way to explain that is that there is a mindset to forcefully assimilate Eguns (perhaps, by deprivation), even though Eguns were first to settle in Lagos and have a very rich history and culture.

Dude, we'll give you strength here on NL, because we have enough academic material to frighten all bigots.

Nadanbata:
Who will implent and run the Southern system though? Is it not the same ELITES that control tings now? or will there be some miracle 419 that produces new leaders?

Northern elite and Southern elite are both corrupt that conspire to use the ethnic divide to keep the status quo. When you blame the Hausawa you play into they hands just like almajari attacking Christians does. For the common folk they dont understand this because the elites have kept them backward. But us educated ones should see the game dey play.

On the bolded. I heard there was a million + on the streets and they attacked EMIRS/PDP infrastucture[b] it wasnt on the order of them PDP elites[/b]. lol.

Exactly, we both have a very different interpretation of who the elites are. It is funny that Sambo's house was burnt down, same as Na'aba and a few other very good peoples houses; whereas IBB's house is still standing, Atiku's house is still standing, so are Ciroma's, Kaita's, Tanimu Yakubu's, Abba Ruma's, numerous ex-generals houses etc These are the people who have ra'ped the country for 38 years.

PDP is not the same as the Northern elite, cabals and hegemonists that have held the whole country to ransome and impoverished the North. The elite control the almajiri's and it shows in the way they targetted the wrong peoples houses, burnt churches, killed Christians and Southerners.
If you, an educated Northerner thinks the almajiri's targetted their oppressors, then there is a lot of confusion in the Northern mind as to who the real enemy is. Please take another look at the situation, but this time, pretend to be a Southerner.

Nadanbata:
The same Problem you have with Naija as it is, is the same problem Southerners will take with them should there be a NORTH/SOUTH divide. Northerners will not have no unity problem or problem with allocation of the OIL which the elites that rule Naija SOLEY share. Its not the ABOKI/MALLAM who holds Naija back it is corruption via PDP. People that wear tinted ethnic glasses make me LOL.

Them 'almajaris' are a product of Naijas faliure, its not no 419 via Islam, distancing yourself and saying its the Hausa thats Naijas problem is funny for dey suffer just like the brothers in the SS/SE. You hear any Hausawa in FCT rioting? No ca dey no suffer like the rest.

We will never carry the problem of Nigeria to any new country. Instead of practising this nonsense where everybody collects money from Abuja, it would be the local govts paying taxes to the states and the states paying taxes to the FG in turn. Thats the only way to run a country that is serious about developing, its also the only way to kill both corruption and ethnic bigotry. With such a system there would never be the sort of foolish rioting and church burning going on now, because the FG would no longer be so powerful and rich, all the money would be at local govt and state levels (and it wouldn't be that much as well).

The South has been clamouring for a sovereign national conference to discuss such issues, but the Northern elite have always blocked it and gone instead for the current system that causes corruption, bloodshed and enslavement of other parts of the country. No doubt the poor Hausa's and Fulani's suffer even more than most Southerners, but that is the fault of the Northern elite.

What I find most ironic is that GEJ has already promised that the FG will train the very almajiri's that are killing Southerners. But these almajiri's prefer to kill on the orders of the very Northern elite that deprived them off education and made them poor.

[size=14pt]Polls Violence: Northerners in Onitsha Flee to Asaba, Army Barracks[/size]
By Charles Onyekamuo
20 Apr 2011

Nigerians of Northern extraction resident in Onitsha and Awka, Anambra State commercial and administrative cities Tuesday fled to Asaba, the neigbhouring Delta State capital for safety as rumours of reprisal attacks following the post presidential election riots in some northern cities of Kano, Bauchi and Kaduna in which people of eastern extraction resident in these cities were feared to have fallen victims.

A great many of them also took refuge at the 302 field artillery regiment in Onitsha.

The northerners most of who are engaged in menial jobs as security guards, shoe shinners, petty street provision shop owners deserted their business Tuesday and went into hiding for fear of retaliation attack by some equally unguided elements in the state.

THISDAY checks also showed that police men in the state also helped some of the notherners to escape to the artillery regiment barracks. The Onitsha central mosque at Bida street near Onitsha main market was as at Tuesday evening being protected by soldiers for fear of being torched by the mostly christains dominanted residents of Onitsha.

But even as the tension mounts, the police in Anambra State said they were ready to protect the lives and property of anybody doing genuine business in the state. The State's Police command spokesman, Emeka Chuwkuemeka who expressed the police readiness yesterday advised the people of the state to go about their businesses without fear or molestation.

In another breath however, the Movement for the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB) Tuesday warned rioters in the nothern cities of Nigeria that if the killing of Ndigbo continues till the next 24 hours, they will rise to challenge the perpertrators of the evil act.

In a communique by the organisation yesterday after its emergency meeting in Okwe-Okigwe in Imo state said that they will not fold their hands and watch Ndigbo massacred in the north.

The Communique signed by the group's Director of Information, Comrade Uchenna Madu said it was condemning the riots in some northern cities over a presidential election adjudged to be free and fair, peaceful and credible by both local and international observers.

It added that the reckless killing of innocent people especially Ndigbo in the name of post presidential election violence is condemnable and unwarranted, even as it urged Ndigbo to remain calm wherever they are in Nigeria and await further instruction.

Nadanbata: LMAO who is we? If anything Southern Nigeria would Balkanize far worse than anything in the North let me tell you.

I guess you think that the only sort of glue that can hold a nation together is the farce that is currently applied?
You are wrong, anything that comes out of a split would have to be equitable, not based on a lazy top-down revenue sharing formula that breeds a scramble for the centre, corruption, laziness and backwardness.

I guess you are a Northerner from your id. Don't make assumptions. . . And welcome to NL.

Becomricho: what nonsense do you mean, do you believe he cant be president?. you talking out of sense nuzo. nuzo God as not call you to be boyboy. you have the thinking of boyboy.

this is why God lead me to form Jesus Empire ministry. to liberate you people from slavery

Damn!
Becomerich pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase teach me how to sprrrreak Enggrrrrrrrrrrriissssss!!!!

Chineke me e!

[quote author=Kilode?!]I will take back or eat all the names I called him if he can pull it off. . .[/quote]Lol!
GEJ is a very coded guy. So lets wait and see.

Dude, calm down. You guys will soon get used to progress and development.
I guess you are just scared that almajiri's will soon be properly educated and marriage to 11 year old "brides" will soon be halted. Theres nothing wrong with these things, sir.

By the way, the system we need is called TRUE FEDERALISM, not some Russian voodoo.

^
Excuse me! That dude is is a rock breaking, mentally stunted baboon with zero social skills, always spoiling for a fight. What you call a real bushman.

[quote author=Kilode?!]The call for a sovereign national conference to negotiate binding restructuring and True Federalim or confederacy?

I join you to support it 102%[/quote]Yes, it would be wise to wait for a fortnight or so after things have calmed down and then begin to make calls for restructuring. I don't know how GEJ will approach it, but its got to be done.

[size=14pt]Observers ask Buhari, others to accept results[/size]
On April 19, 2011 · · In News
BY TORDUE SALEM
 
ABUJA – A coalition of election observers in Nigeria under the auspices of Project 2011 Swift Count, Tuesday, urged the Congress for Progressive Change’ Presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) and other candidates in the presidential poll to accept the results as declared by INEC in good faith.
 
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was declared winner of the poll with over 22 million of the total votes cast, but Gen. Buhari has since discredited the exercise, insisting his party was rigged out in several states.
 
The Project 2011 Swift Count through its 1st Vice-President, Mr. Dafe Akpedeye, at a press briefing,  in Abuja, described the conduct of the exercise as transparent, credible and confidence-inducing.
 
“INEC has conducted the collation of presidential results in a very open manner. Official results by states have immediately been posted on the internet for anyone to see. In order to ensure even greater transparency and accountability Project 2011 Swift Count calls upon INEC to also post polling unit level results on  its website.

To give INEC, political contestants and the public greater confidence in this new methodology Project 2011 Swift Count will also publish on our website the official results from the individual sampled polling units that were used to calculate the Swift Count estimates for anyone to see.

See as pesin pikin don crase!
Dude, you are entertaining, why don't you clown for a living?

Hatred for GEJ and jealousy will kill you.

gadogado: There is no born to rule mentality, thats just what you southerners cooked up to rally yourselves against northern political forces. Lame! the riots happened because the election was rigged, goodluck did not get and could not get 40% of sokoto votes as the results showed!

Dont rig elections and there will be no violence! under ordinary circumstances, with no cheating, the election would go into a run off!!! not gej winning by over 10 million votes!! big lie!! rigging!!! you know it, the whole country knows the elections were rigged, northerners, if you heard what they were chanting, were aggrieved by the margin of loss not necessarily because gej "won" All the PDP knows is rigging! they're criminals and have no true legitimacy! if you recall in 1993, Kano people voted en mass for a southerner (MKO ABIOLA) over a son of the soil (Bashir Tofa)

in 1999, there was an agreement, saying power will rotate between north and south, it went to the north for 8 years and reciprocity and adherence to the agreement was naturally expected. It came back to the north, pres died in no time, then it was ok for the vp to continue, but naturally, the agreement should have stayed and gej step down for a northerner in 2011. But southerners said theres no agreement, which agreement, so this is now wayo!!! good and fine, lets have an honest election then, but no, they had to rig!

Most northerners want the country split in two, there's unity in the north and understanding! the only thing keeping southerners united in your hate for the north, if we break up, you'll swallow each other!! The northern elite who have hoarded all the money along with the southern elite are the only people "NIGERIA" is serving so they'll fight to keep the status quo, what average northerner smells oil money? pls tell me! when they're hungry so oil means jack, they couldn't be bothered since a split doesn't mean they lose anything, the only people that will lose are the less than 1000 individuals that make up the core of the northern elite, they all know each other and inter marry!!! get it straight people! I'm a northerner and I'd rather see the country broken up since it doesn't look like we can coexist as a united nation! many countries that have no oil are doing better than Nigeria anyway so oil is not a requisite for livelihood or even prosperity i dare to say, the north was doing fine pre oil before being inflicted with the dastardly dutch disease by the south!!

You can't keep to agreements and the cheat in elections!! so we might as well split! The condition being, for the sake of the history and the many positive effects we've had on each other (it hasn't all been negative hate) you allow us a port through dredging the Niger river and we'll be out of your skin in no time!! There's oil on the Nigerian side of lake Chad anyway since it exists on the Chadian side and the soil and geology is the same, it therefore must exist on the Nigerian side! politics won't let us be serious about exploration!!! But I'd love to split the country!!

Everything from Southern Kaduna downwards we will take. So, do yourself a favour and forget about a port on the Niger.

So the SW should go back to PDP just because GEJ won an election to the same Office OBJ and his military-politician friends still have control over?  you funny sha. Anyway, like I said it's early season, the bragging rights are allowed, victory just arrived, let's leave the future to time and events.

BTW, Jonathan knows where to look if he wants progressive support and alliance, some folks were fighting for the principles that might set GEJ's name in gold if implemented. They fought and died during Military rule, they fought Abacha, they've been fighting since we got this new democratic dispensation in 1999, probably since the democracy of the 50's. If Jonathan wants sincere alliances, I'm sure he will get it from them.

Let's not get stuck on Tinubu or the victory of the moment. Jonathan needs to seize the moment. I hope he has good advisers.

You have answered what I posted from a purely emotional point of view and "seen" so many things I never said, the bolded is the biggest case in point. I didn't feel like addressing the rest, because I'm being taken totally out of context. Please re-read what I wrote again, cos there is a lot in it and it surely isn't about PDP.

You say politics is a selfish game? I say its a game of consensus, bridge building and mutual interest. Maybe we should let the argument rest.

Sharap jare!
If you like, go and riot, you will find that the old days of impunity are gone.

''Still begging the question''? Olodo oshi.

National interest indeed. Keep drumming out lame excuses.

My point is this (since you are too thick to understand at first comprehension): In as much as you want to vilify and malign the BBC, your Goodluck is equally responsible for the same thing!

And if you are now calling the interest of BBC to question; should I ask you, in whose interest did BBC write the report about Nigeria improving economically just before the election? Which, if I remember quite clearly, your Goodluck equally used it as a campaign advert on his facebook page.

You really do have a way of exhibiting fanciful daftness!

If you cannot understand the simple words I wrote, then. . .
Kneel down and repeat, "Pataki is inexpicably dim" 1000 times.

Fool.

I really love toying with fools and watching them dig themselves deeper into their own shyte. I accused you of begging the question when you posted the crap below:

[Quote author=ekt_bear]
Perhaps BBC had people on the ground at the polling booths who then phoned the #s back to the main office, then added up to figure out who won.

If that is what they did, who can blame them for announcing a winner? In theory, doing that should tell you who won.

Not really their fault that adding up the # of votes at the polling booths is not a valid way of saying who won a LGA or state (at least in naija )[/quote]Your defense has been to post lists of all sorts of logical fallacies to tell me I didn't actually get the right logical fallacy you were guilty of.
That reminds me of a joke I saw earlier today, you will find an unflattering similarity to your arguments here:

You are like the fool below:

A man was withdrawing money from d ATM.

The man behind him laffed out loud and said :"Ha! Ha! Haaa! walai u i be pool, me I don see am por ya fassword na pour stars(****).

1st man: nansense na u i be pool, na 1258 be my fassword, Lơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡l


Thats you sir.

Dunce.

Thank God you've agreed, cos you are as donkey brained as your brother who I accused of one logical fallacy, only for him to go, "hang on! Yes I'm guilty, but you got the wrong fallacy!"

Lol! Did you miss a lot of fruit and veg as a kid?

Lol. You are as daft as a tree stump. Maybe garri was in your feeding bottle as a baby.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=649536.msg8167743#msg8167743 date=1303257960]13volts, the statement above is untrue and is indicative of your lack of knowledge about your own region. Perhaps your early education in Lagos and ND area did not cover some of the relevant issues which would have enlightened you otherwise.

The Northern region is blessed with an enormous amount of mineral resources, agricultural potential, livestock potential, which when properly developed would enable the region to become self sustaining and major exporter of assorted goods. We have the potential to be the textile capital of Africa because we can produce enormous amount of cotton very cheaply.  Dangote is already doing wonders with cement.  Remember that groundnuts from Kano along with Cocoa from the SW were the main exports which sustained the country just a few years ago.  To say that the North will be noting more than a glorified Niger Republic without the SS oil proceeds is a bunch of Balony.

The above is the kind of lies we've been fed for years by the thieving leaders who have only succeeded in enriching themselves and in providing adequate education for their own children. It is in the interest of those thieving leaders that the status quo remains, so that their oil blocks continue to generate revenues for them and their families.[/quote]I welcome this new ndu_chucks. I really hope you can remain this positive and not seem like you have an oil radar.
Seriously though, I wholly agree that there is a lot in the North that can make the place self sustaining. I pray that GEJ opens up all those areas for you guys in the next few years.
