THE QUOTE ABOVE IS WHAT THE POSTER POSTED, I JUST CANT FIND THE CRIME WITH IT, EVEN IF HE WAS ONCE A TRIBALIST, BY THIS POST IT SHOWS HE HAS CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. ALL HE IS TRYING TO SAY, IS WE SHOULD LOOK BEYOND TRIBAL SENTIMENTS WHEN DISCUSSING ISSUES.

A snake never gives birth to a mouse.

I don't know how genuine the story is, but. . .

We are in a country were black is white and white is black; how else can this be explained? A president is obviously not up to the job because of poor health, but very strangely, is implored not to resign, but a hale and hearty VP is pressured to resign . . . All for the reason that; even though he's our genuine VP (not a fake one, I can assure you), he might become president while from the wrong geographical area. I'm confused.

Wetin man go talk?!

[size=14pt]How Abba-Aji Scuttled Yar’Adua’s Vacation Letter[/size]
•President handed over to VP verbally
From Mohammed Aminu in Sokoto, 12.07.2009

THISDAY can report today that before President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua left the country for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, he indeed wrote, signed and sent a letter of vacation to the National Assembly.

However, Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Mohammed Abba-Aji, did not deliver the letter for political reasons.

Yar’Adua left for Saudi Arabia two weeks ago after being diagnosed with acute pericarditis – an inflammation of the coverings of the heart – and is currently receiving treatment at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Jeddah.
[b]
The newspaper reliably gathered that Yar’Adua, after deciding to go for a confirmatory medical check-up following the advice of his Personal Physician, Dr. Salisu Banye, wrote to the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Dimeji Bankole, informing them of his intention to go on “medical vacation” to attend to his health.

This would have paved the way for Vice-President Good-luck Jonathan to properly take over as Acting President in line with Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution which says: “Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President.”

However, Abba-Aji, THISDAY learnt, was on his way to the National Assembly when he opened one of the letters and read the content and then decided to advise the President against it.

He was said to have made a U-turn and returned to see the President whom he advised that there were legal and political complications that could arise from the letter.

He told the President that on a closer look at the provision of Section 145, it would require the permission of the National Assembly for him to resume.

His opinion was that his return to his desk was not automatic and would be dependent on the National Assembly.
Abba-Aji was said to be wary of the “uncertainty” about what the Senate President could do. He reportedly argued that with Mark in power, it might be very difficult for the President to be allowed to resume his duties after the vacation.

The President was said to have directed that the letter be given to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Mike Aondoakaa, to take a look in line with the relevant sections of the Constitution for legal advice.[/b]

THISDAY learnt that it turned out to be the last that was heard of the matter until the President travelled out for treatment.
However, on his way to the airport, Yar'Adua, THISDAY learnt, called Jonathan on phone to inform him that he had directed the Principal Secretary to the President, Mr David Edevbie, to pass all files and correspondences without exception to the VP.
Yar'Adua then asked him to treat the files and take all necessary actions on his behalf.

THISDAY learnt that although Jonathan has been acting on behalf of the President, he decided not to touch certain matters because of possible legal implications.

For instance, he did not convene the Council of State meeting and also did not approve the list of National Merit Award winners.
Meanwhile, Second Republic President, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, at the weekend called on Nigerians to pray for quick recovery of Yar’Adua.

He described recent calls by some groups and individuals for the President to resign due to his ill health as unnecessary.
The former president made the call while speaking to newsmen at his residence in Sokoto.

Shagari, who hoped for speedy recovery for the president, stressed the need for Nigerians to always pray for those in position of leadership.

He appealed to those agitating for the president’s resignation to have a rethink on their “vicious campaign”.

@kosovo
I found a few pictures on the Edo state website http://www.edostate.gov.ng/gallery.php
But those pictures don't say much. It might just be lousy PR, but there doesn't seem to be a lot happening, in fact the areas were drains are being fixed are not the ones that are most prone to flooding. There are quite a few pictures of work at Joromi and College roads (both off Ekenwan road), there is one of desilting at Ugbowo. There are none for the worst flooding areas; Sakpoba and Uselu.

hmmmm beaf guy i just got finished eating my croissant and reading this lmfao. . .

Racist fool.

Please post pictures. . . Because, last time I passed through Benin, there had been some heavy rain. . . You know the drill. , On that day, I learnt that it is possible for normal cars to be submarines.

You might as well do what people of your ILK do.

[quote author=THE-AMAKA link=topic=362251.msg5059399#msg5059399 date=1260117021]i do see your point.

and that makes what others say okay?
youre right, there is no excuse, but he has a right to be annoyed. i guess.[/quote]Thanks Amaka.

@babapupa
God alone knows what mischief was on your mind when you started this thread. Listen to yourself here talking about ND people;

Tell me. . . Why shouldn't I abuse the mongrels who have done such a bad job by training their child to grow up so damaged?

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=362251.msg5059169#msg5059169 date=1260113009]beaf, eh, technically you be tribalist. a tribalist by definition is a person that consistently exhibits strong loyalty to one's own tribe, party, or group.  na dat loyalty wey make you abuse de parents of de person wey you claim to have insulted a whole niger deltra region.

now, if dem say you be tribalist bigot, that one for dey quite debatable.

truth be told na only few nigerians dey detribalized. most of those detribalized nigerians get parents from different regions of de country or don intermarry. for example, papa fit be hausa make mama be ogoni.[/quote]Sorry, you are way out of context here, there are two definitions of tribalism. One is positive, the other (and by far the most common) is extremly negative and primitive.

To decide which is applicable here, the OP made this statement;

Are you not the one going crazy because you think you're about to be stripped of your rights to be a tribal bigot and [b]racists [/b]like the ones you're defending yourself against?

Be what you must be, it just doesn't mean what you must be is good for your fragile and insecure self.

It is obvious what he means by tribalism. It certainly is not the same as being loyal to the Niger Delta.

Kobojunkie:
This has GOT to be some serious joke, right?? I mean this thread is so so funny!!! The very culprits trying to distance themselves from that which they are known for in an attempt to seem clean of it all  Roflmao!!!

Back again and talking rubbish as usual. Show me one derogatory statement (yes, just one) I have made to any ethnic group or shut up.
I have no respect for dishonest people.

[quote author=THE-AMAKA link=topic=362251.msg5059022#msg5059022 date=1260110913]hmmmm i see your point.
but attacking someone's parents.  
i guess. . .[/quote]Sjeezy's being racist to the whole of the ND is much worse than my singling out just his immediate family. There are millions of families in the ND.
I have no respect for that pathetic worm, sjeezy and his mongrel family.

bilymuse:
both moderators are inactive and ineffective, the entire forum has become a jungle where anythings goes.

Otherwise racists like sjeezy babapupa would have long been kicked out.

sjeezy8:
If you didnt know AD was split between AC and PDP or maybe youbas should have voted for Ojukwu over Obj.

"As the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), he ran for President in the 2003 presidential election. He claimed to have won the election and filed a court challenge against what he said was the "massive fraud" that allegedly denied him the presidency."

That is one sick in the headfellow if he thought he actually won the election in Nigeria!!!!

@ Beaf lol i see you have no home training didnt babapupa tell you about abusing peoples parents? Its ok sha you are still a fisherman and your hometown is a swamp, malaria/mosquito filled, violent, death trap.
Lol and the local governmnents in the delta are trying to make it a tour destination.

I wish they would give you people a Nigerdelta republic, it would surely be interesting to see you clowns warring with eachother like a bunch of animals, that have never eaten before. carry on

you obviously spent the last few hours brainstorming and posting silly pics.

[size=14pt]Oh! You can be racist toward[b] the whole Niger Delta[/b] and I can't abuse your ba.stard parents? Think again. Both your pros.titute  and rapist father are fools that brought a damaged child into the world.[/size]

I am not a tribalist so I reserve the right abuse your parents each time you are tribalistic or racist toward the ND.

sjeezy8:
beef is a joke and any, everything pertaining to him is comical

At least I'm not from the gutter like you and your family. Does stupidity also run in your blood?

Racist Wretch.

lmfao they look funny as hell tho NO LIE.

GO AND DRINK SOMETHING NOW!

LOL YOURE ONE FUNNY GAL

I'm sure your family looks strange and funny. Insecure racist slowpoke.

It is obvious you are from the gutter.

realmen:
Economy wise, all banks have refused to give out money(loan) for any business or investment of any kind or magnitude or importance.
FG and CBN begged, advised and implored banks to start given loans, but they all refused. Banks refused to continue with existing facilities, and ask customers to pay down prematurely. all these are to conform with Sanusi's reform. or better still to play safe.

oil importers are not availled facilities to import again as before.
foreign banks are asking for cash back up for Letter of Credits from all Nigeria banks now as they trust no bank in Nigeria again. we are believe to be birds of the same feathers.

banks are confused to do real business
as they dint know what may happen next.

all these definitely are affecting economy

i pray God help Nigeria

No, foreign banks don't have a trust problem with Nigerian banks. Afterall they weren't duped. What they are afraid of, is that at a whim, Sanusi might suddenly sack the CEO in whose hands their business lies and take over the bank; meaning they would lose both their money and business continuity.

babapupa:
Beef, I still don't get your point because I've explained myself already.

Obviously, you have a definition of tribalism and racism that only pertains to others.
Pursuing this further is not worth my time, yams plants do not bear oranges.

Tpia is there for you.

babapupa:
Calling people corrupt politicians what they are is tribal and racist. And why racist anyways, I'm I not black myself and if you're talking about the costume, I just don't like them same way I don't like agabda and skinny jeans.


Beef, please be serious,

[size=14pt]Really? People, please  judge for yourselves;[/size]

[Quote author=larez]
Yorubas with their rich culture need to be seriously cautioned. Stop yabbing these people about their comical clothes which consists of the used worn out Oyimbo shirt and the yoruba wrapper given to them as charity gifts from yoruba. Oh yes, and to top it up, they also wear Oyimbo hats and put feathers on them as well. Bad Yoruba people have concluded that these people were indeed savages before Oyinbo came to their villages. This is not right, and Yoruba people should stop. lol[/quote]This was your reply;

If the above isn't racism, tell me what is.

babapupa:
I've engaged several threads where regional issues were discussed and because you assert facts that the other side finds objectionable doesn't mean you are a tribalist or throwing tribal insults. People are very sensitive and they don't want to here any less than pretty facts right or wrong about their tribe, They just don't like your facts,

Like I said, feel free to prove or show where transgressed tribaly,

This was not just "tribal", it was racist https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-314283.96.html#msg4422823
. . .Tell me about being "sensitive" and "facts".

babapupa:
I'm not a tribalist and never been. You're free to prove me wrong with facts if you must.

The majority don't think so (I don't). Do you want to redefine "tribalist" for us?
I actually thought you were reforming and calling other tribalists like yourself to reconsider.

kosovo:
i wish Every one has common sense like this man, unfortunately Common sense aint common.

When did stretching the truth become common sense? "Asset to this country", how? Because he is the president? What do we call the Wole Soyinka's and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's?

It's American HIP-HOP lingo.  It's a diss.

Keep your American ghetto lingo to your wretched self. Only lowlife scum are proud of such slangs.
