[size=14pt]IBB's Rally Flops In Ibadan, Ex-Dictator Fails To Show Up‎[/size]
Author: Date: Jul 29th, 2010.

Threat by students to disrupt the proposed rally of former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida (retd) has forced the former dictator to suspend his visit to Ibadan, Oyo State, today.

•IBB: fails to show up.
Babangida’s supporters, who organised the rally said it was cancelled because they cannot guarantee his security as a result of the students’ threat.

P.M.NEWS gathered that the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, had earlier issued a statement in Ibadan warning Babangida to steer clear of the South West in his bid to contest the 2011 presidential election.

IBB, as Babangida is popularly called, had slated today’s rally in Ibadan to launch his Southwest campaign for his 2011 Presidential bid.

Indications that the visit had been cancelled emerged at the Oja Oba palace of the Olubadan of Ibadan when Oba Odulana Odugade and his high chiefs who were waiting to receive IBB in the palace rose and departed for their homes at 12.15p.m. when the organisers of the rally told the monarchs that IBB will no longer be coming.

P.M.NEWS gathered that Oba Odulana immediately left for his residence in Monatan area of Ibadan.

Investigations also revealed that a handful of IBB’s supporters who went to the local airport in Ibadan to receive him went home disappointed when they were told that IBB had shelved his visit.

Those who went to the Ibadan-Lagos toll gate to await the former maximum ruler, thinking that he would come by road, also dispersed on learning of the cancellation of the visit.

Attempts by P.M.NEWS to speak with Azeem Gbolarunmi, former deputy governor of Oyo State, and some wives of the late Chief Lamidi Adedibu who are the known big supporters of IBB in Oyo State proved abortive, as they declined to comment.

Oba Odulana had earlier warned his subjects not to link him with any of the presidential aspirants because as a traditional ruler, he is supposed to be neutral in any political contest.

The monarch, it was learnt, threatened to curse any indigene who links him with any of the contestants.

The state governor, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala gave the first hint that IBB was not welcomed in Ibadan when he declared support for President Goodluck Jonathan to contest next year’s election.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and other southwest leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had warned governors in the zone not to support the presidential ambition of IBB.

Obasanjo and some elders of the party were said to have held a meeting where they appealed to the governors in the region not to support IBB in 2011.

Also, the Oyo State Coordinator of Jonathan and Sambo Consolidation 2011, Chief Alli Balogun, in a statement predicted that IBB’s planned visit to the state will be fruitless.

Balogun said IBB’s visit to the state did not mean anything to the group because he was sure that nothing tangible would come out of it.

Dear Beaf I'm truly as sure about my comment as you are about the fact you think my country is afraid of yours, you should know better cameroonian mentality, if you have knew them you wouldn't have shown such arrogance and verbal violence bro non offense

Don't misunderstand me.

Cameroon has absolutely no need to fear Nigeria. . . Except they start lusting after Obudu. . . Then GBOA!!!! A sudden hurricane of destruction, incineration! Its called the big stick.
Cameroon must avoid that.

babapupa:
What are the building blocks and framework? Please highlight just a few examples,

I already gave a pointer to the sort of thing I'm talking about here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-486703.64.html#msg6470010
But its got to be done by either intra-state cooperation or through the might of our false federalism.
Empowering the grassroots will cost much less than uprooting vagrants and levelings slums, they will always pop up elsewhere and everybodys's money, time, exertions and humanity would have gone to the dogs.

Nayah:
Beaf Rwanda succeed to destabilze the huge DRC !, Palestine keep on defending themsleves with stones but somehow has succeded to destabilize Israel so this simply cancel your comment  

Did you actually check the link? Its actually quite funny. lol

After years of Belgian, French and US imperial interests, war and Mobutu; DRC is as wacked as early man, with little knowledge of civilisation, talkless of having a worthwile army (all they have are drugged up marauding gangs of despicable rap!sts), so no biggies if Rwanda could destabilise them.

You think Cameroon can destabilise even the smallest Nigerian state? Well, think again, cos MEND alone, can invade and subjugate Cameroon from Doula to Ngaoundéré.

Nayah:
Beaf I told you from the very firstmessage this is completely insane however I'd like to know their motivation, because I like having illustrations, arguments and evidences to have a position.

My motivation? How about I'm Nigerian? Can you instead, provide evidence that Obudu has anything to do with Cameroon? That evidence might help our President and National assembly declare the necessary war and mobilise the army quicker.

Nayah:
Eze when you talk about cameroonian defense just talk about our own, forget about French, Cameroonian pass trough a lot of things and have a non neglectable army! Laurent Gbagbo went to  our country for the 5Oth anniversary of our independence and was really surprised, as well his delegation, about how Cameroon was powerful military speaking. But some think that the fact they are  too many make them think it's easy. Germany was alomst alone against Western European countries but they where powerful, so be careful with easy conclusion. Anyway I love my brothers as well cameroonians as nigerians for wishing any war, Africa need something else tired of torning each other. Cameroon and whole Africa have been blessed but we are still neglecting it.

This is your airforce. . . With about 3 bicycles and one cutlass.

Obama grew up as "Barry", he grew up, realised his African heritage and changed his name right back to the original "Barack". So we have a US president who is secure in his identity; he has made it to the highest office in a foreign land with a double barreled African name.

Shame on this plastic !diot Sam Wantings who was probably born Okosieme Nwati.

Nayah:
Beaf first I think a forum is made for forumers to exchange and discussion even to learn. But we are in democracy  but democracy doesn't mean violence or wildness sorry bro! Now if you think I'll BE sensitive when you talk about something you don't know, and insult, well you don't know me, put your belt cause you have to do more then

As for Bakassi I'll never switch my opinion upon this sorry, and I would be glad if we talk about some topic without torning each other, so your comment doesn' mean anything for me. You can make understand a statement without being rude, otherwise you are in lack or arguments Anyway thanks for the compliment.

Hilliii666 theif Cameroon more than who please I has some respect for Nigeria and Nigerian people that's why I won't generalize

Forget about Bakassi for now, that is for a future govt to sieze back. The current question is Cameroons new longing for Obudu; when that "argument" starts, you guys can talk all the democracy and "sensitive belts" you know; we'll just be replying with clouds of bombs, missiles and enraged, trigger happy young men.

. . .The compliment was genuine.

[quote author=Bandit C. link=topic=487385.msg6474176#msg6474176 date=1280421068]Guys, please respect this girl Nayah because she is simply a woman. Show some respect goddamn it. She is bringing her argument with respect, even if they are flawed but you guys (Beaf, Tkb417 and the guy with 666 in his name) come accross as condescending and insultive.

I respect her here, even though i have little interest in commenting on these boards, because she once proclaimed her likeness for her nigerian friends in France.

If anything, her interest in the affairs of nigeria should tell you guys that she means no harm. Incessantly flaming her is so kindergartenish.

Nayah:
beaf I'm not a male, lol

Yeah I know, I saw your picture long since, thats the only reason I drastically scaled back my verbal warfare from the levels of my first posts.
. . .You are quite pretty sha.

Nayah:
hilll666 I think you're making a mistake we are not in the 50's bro think about it
Homerac you're really, funny hope you advice your brother concerning their behaviour as well and make them understand the instability which regns in your country. I repeat for stuberred ones, money is nothing when peace and union in not in the house.

@ beaf I didn'i know you believe in Santa Claus when people used to talk about organes sells and withcraft in your country I don't have the same reaction but as I said everybody is different!

Maybe Santa Claus gives gorillas to the gendarmes?

It is the Cameroonians that have crossed the border for a better life you are talking about. We will soon send them packing. No lelel!
If you open your mouth on a 9ja forum to "argue" about Bakassi, don't be surprised when that mouth is rammed full of a lot more than Bakassi.

Nayah:
hihihih loooooool leahdee ohhhhh

tkb beaf and you don't give a good image of intelligence of Nigerian people but  wouldn't generalized, nobody's perfect. But I've noticed that you're seem to be empty in terms of arguments, cause you spend your time insulting and shouting without having a real discussion? As for Biya is not perfect but not a coward if you know what I mean

. . .Because I have told you the truth about your gorilla munching gendarmes and your grovelling, leprous brained president? Shame.
You are lucky not to be some Cameroonian male or you would have known what is what by now.

Nayah:
@Chongaiman that's what I say insult it's for weak people
@leahdee sister don't do the same game some and I say same because I don't like generalizing, their game just calm down and give them arguments intellectually it's better!

@Beaf oh so Obasanjo could be seen as a coward according to he managed Bakassi topic could he? you and some of your brothers need to be more humble bro because arrogance is the begining of personal defeat.

@ Tkb who told you Cameroonian was economically better than Nigeria? you make me laugh for real money ist's not everything! peace, union and stability worth more than a giant instable country, just read some igbos brothers and their comments you'll understand. And I know some who are like these nairalanders

Why don't you concern yourself with images of your president on his knees in Lagos, begging Buhari for mercy?

leahdee:
@Nayah, y do u even bother urself with these guys.I have just said my own but discovered how much i wouldn't ve wasted my time to post on this thread.
U see how mean Nigerians can be?Asking us if we would fight war with matchets or what?When reasonable pple like Cameroonians divert their minds towards developments, silly Nigerians who have only rice as staple food are geared towards arms production. Talking abt war?!!! Kai!!! too mean.By d way, how come they couldn't win us in Bakassi?That shows war in intelligence not sophisticated arms. Naija pple,wona go us those wona arms fight wona selves ok?Go ahead and make more, another Biafra war dey come, weti wona don see?
U guys talk abt stars and movies?Weti wona dey act sef?GO see "i go die" make him tell wona abt wona movies ok?
" Les hommes d'afrique va me tues sur la piste"

It is this sort of foolish reasoning that made your president come and beg. All we need do is finance the freedom fighters in Southern Cameroon to do our dirty work against your gorilla eating gendarmes.

leahdee:
@hili666, do u even know what a laptop is?
By d way, what is the criteria u use to compare Cameroun and Nigeria? Is it the daily kidnapping dat occur in your country?Is it d insecurity u have never known in Nigeria? Is it d constant strike and riots u ve outhere?Just ti name a few?
Why can't u face facts and say Cameroon is better?If u like, go on and on to insult Camerron but even heaven bears witness to dis, Cameroon is hundred times better than Nigeria. U go on kidnapping even in braod day light (recent case, Pete Edoche) who is like an icon and u r not ashame. Even nights of thousand laughs reveal exactly d type u guys are. Our markets in Cameroon are full of igbo people and we feel sorry for dem and buy 'cos they run away from your witch craft and insecurity in Nigeria and try to make a living here. Don't let me insult u, u better beg to have obudu cos your population has outgrown your space and u need land to stay ok?RUBBISH!!! Cheap pride.

Hmmmmm! You could have fooled me! And to think that my opinion of Cameroon had been 90% about their relentless hunting and eating of monkeys and gorillas. . .

Nayah:
tkb sometimes is not all about money as many of you think, sometimes loving and being patriot can lead to great things bro. You think you can finish a country just like that? you're very naive sorry, just ask Israel or Rwanda and DRC and you'll get everything.

Please Beaf, beg you might be joking of coruse cause this is not our mentality in Cameroon please if you don't know our country just ask cause as I told one can learn everyday but don't say wrong affirmations. Thanks

Yes, beg! Your president came begging last time Buhari gave him a 3 day ultimatum to report to Nigeria and deliver a personal apology. I thought you loved "history" and "arguments"; go and find out some real history, because it seems the grovelling mission has been expunged from the fake websites you get stuff from. BIYA CAME TO BEG BUHARI, cos we were gonna incinerate Cameroon; within the first day of the ultimatum, weapons were already at the border. try us again and this time una go hear gbim! No time to nurse love with any mudafckers who are too big for their boots and think laying claims to tracts of land in neighbouring countries leads to treatments of love and playful arguments. . . Nigeria will display love with bullets and marshal arguments with ear wringing slaps.

Nayah:
Beaf you should take in account my previous argument instead of being excited. It's a discussion not boxe ring

I would have loved to discuss if your president didn't have a rotten plank between both his ears. But of cause, he is thinking of making another begging flight to Nigeria, cos this time, we will use your wretched gendarmes to make suya.

tkb417:
what are our soldiers waiting for?

just for even thinking about it, they deserve some shelling

let our Military leave the LASTMA guys and proceed to Calabar

no cameroonian should be spared. How i wish na Ghanaians they forment trouble like this
we for just finish them once and for all

Tell the bastar'ds jare!

A Ngerian source BAKASSI WAS BRITISH CAMEROONIAN  clearly written!

Beaf when I put arguments I'm not used to use rude vocabulary, there's no need to be vulgar boy, those you call "naughty person"are no scared of your so call threads for nowhere, instead of bringing arguments you people shout, insult and become rude this is for weak people sorry.

Hilli666 this is specially for you, insults it's for limited and weak people. Now if you continue you will have a monologue cause debating is not about being passionated but bringing reluctant argument!

This is how you will cry to mummy on "that day". You think it is guguru, it will be like being slapped by a machine. Olodo!
There are enough missiles, bombs and trigger happy men to "argue" for Nigeria; so bring on your foolish arguments. Ode!

I like Goodluck everyday.

[quote author=Nayah ]Well I'm french but originally from Cameroon and as for Bakassi topic I was FIERCELY agree with our governement cause some of you need to revise HISTORY between Biafra's war Cameroon and Bakassi, now brothers I can understand you want to defend your country and its territory, and to be honest this new topic about having this new area of igbo land it's non sense. But be careful some of you(hili666) are so sure to win in case of war, and I'm not that sure as you are. And sorry I know you're about 150 000 000 people but don't forget that we cameroonians are really proud and not afraid about anybody, because we trully love our country and can die for,plus we're not used to war and don't want a war with our close neighbours. But it doesn't mean we are afraid, so HILI666 calm down with your old age and silly (sorry but this is true) Hitler stories. You are Nigerian yes but I'm a proud Cameroonian. Thanks[/quote]You have obviously forgotten the time time [size=14pt]your rickety old fool of a president rushed of to Nigeria to deliver an apology[/size] after being given a 3 day ultimatum to come and personally deliver an apology to Nigeria for ambushing and killing 6 Nigerian soldiers.
You need to have seen the quantity of weaponry Nigeria rushed off the the Cameroonian border, with aircraft spinning in the air across the Niger Delta, I was a mere kid then, but what pride! That senile, demon possessed bat Biya, is thinking of making another pleading trip to Nigeria.

When did this happen? During General Buhari's regime. Go find out. When push comes to shove, you guys will roll over and get fcked any which way, through the eyes, nose, mouth, arse. .  . Wherever it suits us.

If I rule Nigeria today, we will declare war on Cameroon the next and forcibly seize lands up to dualla. Bastar'ds.

Goodluck Jonathan: I see a day coming when every aspect of our economy will be immune from unwarranted interference.

That would be the day we install true federalism.

I like the thoughts expressed by GJ. Quite profound.

Sky Blue:
I agree. If he can give a basica and sensible breakdown of what the money would be used for then I say give it to him.

I support that.

. . .The main thing is to keep the man away from explaining the math, because if these were election figures maybe WWIII would have already started.

lordangers:
The F-7 was made in 1966 and was different (not completely) but it was defiantly better if only slightly. And why would the likes of China, Pakistan and Egypt all be using them (along with just under a dozen other nations). Nigeria has bought modern F-7's that meet the needs it has. Why does it need Mig-35's? Who will attack them?
Also Iraq gave up theirs after 2003 when they were invaded. The air force was disbanded and it would have been impossible to maintain 80 F-7's with no piolets or maintainance crews,

The F-7 is a MIG-21. Period.
It is an old, crancky and useless plane. You know why the Iraqi's buried their planes in the desert and flew the majority they didn't have the time to bury off to their mortal enemy, Iran? Because they are useless planes; no serious country flies that rubbish and all those who flew it are phasing it out (including the likes of Pakistan).

Who will attack us? Perhaps you haven't heard the latest that Cameroon is no claiming Obudu ranch in addition to Bakassi. If we had MIG-35's and other equivalent weapons, they wouldn't have dared.

If the rationale for decripit weapons is that nobody will attack us, then we are better off arming our brave souls with sticks and catapults to save money.

tpiah: Did the oil spill in your mama's state? Why should that get your panties in a twist?

Don't you have your own little anorexic village to worry about?

. . .A perfect impression of tpiah, the daft.
Change and be taken seriously.

That burns another of IBB's bridges. Lets cry for him!

“It is not just Hausa/Fulani that exist in the North. There are other ethnic groups there. Why have they not been able to produce the President over these years. We have overgrown ethnic nationalism in this country. What we need is a visionary leader and he can come from anywhere.”

Things are warming up pretty sharpish.
