otokx:If you notice, the OP didn't say "cro[b]w[/b]d," En enh! He said, "Cro[size=14pt]u[/size]d At Ibb[sic] Presdential[sic] Declaration." ![]() The mental level of them IBB people is quite disturbing! www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 |

Saraki = IBB ![]() That is why the two have been holding meeting after meeting. IBB is a very very desperate man these days. |
IBB is only declaring today. Has he been scared all this time? Some people just wake up, look in the mirror and after seeing a fool in the reflection, think that NL is the best place to air that foolishness. IBB people = Foolish people. |
Damn! Earlier this week, an SSS man and his family were wiped out in Kano. Something strange is going on up North. It seems law enforcement agencies are being actively intimidated. |

Yes, tomorrow Lucifer and the 7 winshes will descend on Eagle square; but GEJ has served up the right amount of otapiapia for their consumption. Its the end of the road for IBB. |
Jarus:Thanks Jarus. But do you have any idea why that would have been? |
Gbawe:Dude, it is foolish not to check something before you comment on it, don't you agree? Imagine a state like Abia where kidnapping is rampant. Abia has 17 LG's, so at 7 of Ribadu's "Rambo/Terminator-type Policemen" per LG, we would have 119 super heroes to quell violence, bank robberies and kidnapping in the whole state. . . .And I used to think miracle preaching was strictly a church affair! While I am giving Ribadu the benefit of the doubt and awaiting his rebutal, coarse brained folk like yourself have accepted something so absolutely ridiculous and far out. Like I said earlier, people with a more intelligent approach than yourself have already dealt with the question in more sensible ways. |
Dr Cork:Dude, you have been doing this fcked up spelling since you joined NL. Is it that you're simply writing with your village accent? www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 |

Onlytruth:Thats a horrible wish, but I get what you are driving at. Yes, if there was a repeat, everyone would plan better; Edo and Delta would be Biafra's close and friendly, independent allies or (very long stretch) Delta and Edo would actually be in Biafra; there would of course, also be an Oduduwa republic in the SW. |
Gbawe:You are here talking a lot of rubbish as usual. More sensible people than you have already asked intelligent questions about what I said. Stop talking through your arse and learn to use your brain. If you cared to check my words, you would find that I said I wanted to confirm the story first; if cared to check my profile first before getting into a crazed frenzy to type, you would have seen that Ribadu's photo still well and truly lives there. Scuttle back to your cave. Gbawe:Even a regular fool knows that 5000 "Rambo/Terminator-type Policemen" in 700 plus LGA's is a sick joke. |
If this isn't a rumour, then its some really heavy sh it!!! |
ode remo:No bro, I have Wole Soyinka and Ribadu; but its increasingly looking like Ribadu will be gone. . . .Then I can really throw the "cap" into the ring! ![]() |

Sky Blue:Nah, its not my title, its the 234Nexts title, word for word; complaints should go to them. You will find at least one of my posts to be nuanced, because of the realisation that the story is an insider scoop. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-513004.32.html#msg6749314 |
Eziachi:That is the wise thing (and the only choice) for any minority that has not been given any guarantees by the two gladiating behemoths, don't you think? To both sides, we were mere puns and so we behaved in a way that we weren't labelled and wiped out. The case for the Efiks, Ibibios and some Ijaws is very different, they were always in the Eastern region; the Isoko, Itsekiri, Urhobo and Western Ijaw were all in the Midwest region. I don't know what you mean by voting with the North, Festus Okotie Eboh was in Ziks party, NCNC. The founding fathers of the Midwest region were Dennis Osadebay (NCNC), Jereton Marierie (NCNC), and James Otobo (AGN). Of course, we started out in alliance with the East with whom we share long borders and were against the West, because Awo's policies were percieved as divisive and the West did not initially support an autonomous Midwest. The schism with NCNC in the region was created after Osadebay was foisted over Omo Osagie (Edo) and Jereton Marierie (Urhobo); this move particularly upset the Edo, because as early as 1952, Oba Akenzua had already personally taken on the fight for the creation of the MidWest region. You need to look into that to satisfy your question, but we don't hold tightly to the past; politics like life, is a fluid game, sometimes we agree, at other times we don't. Should we be enemies pointing fingers generations later? I think not. |
naijaking1:Is this meant to be a joke? What can be the strategic importance of two mega thieves forming an alliance? If the scoop is true, their alliance is doubly worthless. |
[size=14pt]birds of the same feather, he wants to use Odili to have access to the source. What a Joke? these clowns never give up. odili, a failed politician, babangida, a national thief thief. when you mix the two of them what do you get? failed theiving politicians.http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/5618480-146/babangida_picks_odili_as_running_mate.csp |

[size=14pt]Babangida picks Odili as running mate [/size] By Soji Bamidele September 14, 2010 02:24AM Former military ruler, Ibrahim Babangida, is in advanced talks with Peter Odili, former governor of Rivers State, as he closes in on a running mate for the 2011 presidential elections. A source within Mr. Babangida's camp said that the choice of Mr. Odili was strongly influenced by Raymond Dokpesi, chairman of DAAR Communications, and director general of Mr. Babangida's presidential campaign. The two men have a history of mutually beneficial dealings. Mr. Dokpesi was the director general of Mr. Odili's campaign when he ran for president in 2007. At the time, Mr. Odili was alleged to have invested N400 million of funds taken from the Rivers State treasury, into Mr. Dokpesi's company. The EFCC, under Farida Waziri, quizzed Mr. Dokpesi over the money, but no charges were ever filed. According to the source, "Odilli will be groomed as the person that will succeed General Babangida, come 2015." A controversial choice Mr. Babangida, who is at the centre of several allegations, will be picking an equally controversial character if he settles on Mr. Odili as a running mate. Mr. Odili was elected governor of Rivers State in 1999 and was re-elected in 2003. His tenure was marred by human rights violations, insecurity, and widespread accusations of fraud. During his governorship, Rivers State was, in theory, one of the wealthiest states in the country owing to its enormous oil revenue, but Mr. Odili instituted relatively few improvements. Instead, the former governor is on record for acquiring a South Africa-based hospital, and two Brazilian jets. In November 2006, Peter Odili announced that he would run for president in the 2007 election under the ruling PDP. However, a day before the PDP's presidential primaries, Mr. Odili stepped down from the contest, paving the way for fellow governor, Umaru Yar'Adua, to emerge as the party's flag bearer. Reports say Mr. Odili was forced out of that contest when the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) led by Nuhu Ribadu, released a report implicating him in fraud, mismanagement of state funds, money laundering, and abuse of office. In February that year, Mr. Odili filed a suit challenging the powers of the EFCC to probe his administration. The court granted him an indefinite injunction stopping any investigations into his finances, describing it as a breach of his civil rights. The declaration It was expected that Mr. Odili would be unveiled at a rally for the official declaration of Mr. Babangida's intention on Wednesday in Abuja. However, a text sent out by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. Rufa'i Ahmed Alkali. inviting all party executives to an emergency meeting on that same day , is raising eyebrows. The coincidence in the timing is leading to speculation that this may be an attempt to steal the thunder from Mr. Babangida's declaration. As of the time of going to press , we were unable to contact Mr. Babangida to find out if he intends to change his plans. . Text messages to Mr. Alkali seeking clarity on the matter, remained unanswered http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/5618480-146/babangida_picks_odili_as_running_mate.csp |
[size=14pt]Much ado about nothing [/size] By Cheta Nwanze I can say with some form of confidence that the glass ceiling which for a long time existed in Western society for people of African descent was well and truly shattered when the Americans made the right decision and voted in Barack Obama. Within a generation I expect that we will see a black man as the leader of another major Western power. What is the implication of this for African countries such as Nigeria? For a very long time we have lived in the belief that our ‘children' would always find their way home. That illusion no longer exists as my cousins who were born in the West for example, can truly aspire to the highest offices in the respective countries whose passports they hold. Being an ethnic Igbo man who likes to say he is from Edo state in Nigeria, I have to ask myself honestly, can I aspire to the highest position in my own country? It is rather instructive that all media reports about Obama insist that Chicago is his hometown. He was not born there, his father did not come from there, he did not set foot in Chicago until sometime after he finished his own university education, yet, it is his home town. Until two years ago, he represented Chicago in the US Senate. Can that happen in Nigeria? Sadly the answer is no. I cannot even aspire to be a local councilor in Oredo Local Government Area, the part of Benin, Edo State where I was born. Some idiot would open his mouth and claim that I am not a son of the soil. The sheer ignorance of it! In 1979 Ambrose Alli was elected governor of the then Bendel State. By the time he was removed from office by the 1983 coup, he had had enough grief from the indigent population of the state capital Benin. Why was that? Although he was an indigene of Bendel State, he was not an ethnic Bini man. He was ethnic Ishan. Forward the hands of the clock two decades, and we had Lucky Igbinedion, a genuine ‘son of the soil' from Benin City getting into the position. He ruined that state, and simply because "he is our brother", people only grumbled in the silence of their homes. Ethnic Binis are of course not the only people in Nigeria guilty of such behaviour. If you are not ethnic Igbo for example, you cannot seriously expect to conduct trade in Onitsha Main Market. If you are not ethnic Yoruba you cannot expect to rise to a position of academic prominence at the Obafemi Awolowo University. Ahmadu Bello openly stated that his government would rather a Briton hold position within it, than a Southerner, and of course, being ethnic Ijaw gives you a license to steal all the money in Bayelsa State, escape justice in the United Kingdom, then return to a hero's welcome from the very people you robbed without anyone asking you to account for the stolen funds. Whenever are we going to make progress? Sadly, not very soon. Because Goodluck Jonathan appointed an Igbo man as Chief of Army Staff a few days ago, we have some twits demanding that more positions be zoned specifically to Igbo people as if being Igbo automatically makes people better administrators? You only have to take a look at the condition of the Igbo speaking parts of Nigeria to know that this is not true. Look at the last Inspector General of Police. He is so Igbo, yet he was probably the worst IG we have ever had, definitely the worst in living memory. As an aside, can someone shove him into jail for contempt of court? It has not always been like that in Nigerian politics however, and we can indeed turn the hands of the clock back. Back in the day, Nnamdi Azikiwe was able to run for, and win office in Western Nigeria. Murtala Mohammed, an ethnic Etsako man (from Auchi in today's Edo state) was Nigerian Head of State, accepted by the North as one of their own. These incidents were not accidents, and we can return to that state of affairs. We need to however, take the bold step of making the necessary change to truly unite the country. I don't see any reason whatsoever why anyone should ask me what state I am from after I have informed the person (and proved to the person) that I am Nigerian. I should be able to go to any point in my country and settle down and feel like I have a stake in this place. I should be able to go to any point in my country and run for elective office. For that to happen, people need to stop asking me about my father and where he is from. Nigeria, please delete the state of origin caveat from the Constitution. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Opinion/Columns/5618396-184/story.csp |

, but I suspect that the 1967 issue wasn't properly consummated. There was too much ignorance and suspicion then. A lot that happened didn't make sense.
