And this is supposed to be improvement at fast rate?

If that is true, then why are Igbo people spreading everywhere like people without land, claiming territory that doesn't belong to them?

@beystwin. Only the above line/quote of your idiotic comment gave you out as an unrepentant illiterate, so i aint gonna bother responding to you. Ewu awusa , go grab your book and do some reading.

kufre4biz:
Yes i support this, until Nigeria stop playing on people intelligent and do thing the way it should be done there will be no peace in this country. Look at how devastated the Niger Delta Region is, the list developed in all the region in Nigeria. Look at the share of federal infrastructures.
1. refinery in Kaduna
2.federal textile industries in kaduna
3.aviation school in kaduna
4.Nigeria Defence Academy in Kaduna
5.kaduna has the highest number of federal high institutions, that is why they taq 'center of learning'
6. many not mentioned here
How many of this federal amenities do they have in bayelsa, delta,akwa ibom ,or even Rivers but this are people who could not farm because their farmlands as been contaminated with crude oil, they suffer diseases due to gas burning in the area and aquatic animal are no more in abundance. Yet govt. only engage in talks

And you and your people are knowing all these in 2009? So where were you before? I guess sleeping as usual? Nonsense. Your fathers sold your birth rights to the hausa/fulanis just to spite Igbos, so deal with your situation. You aint getting out of it any time soon. And to the thread opener, sorry to bust your bubble, there aint going to be any second civil war unless it's gonna be only between your people and the hausa/fulani and of which Igbos will not tolerate any refugees in our territory. You guys deserve what's befalling you today, so stop crying.

beystwin:
The Niger Delta people know who their friends and enemies are. The truth is, there are no friends of the Niger Delta people in Nigeria. Nigeria just wants to grab as much from them as possible. A good example is the way Bakassi was handed over to the Cameroonians. And the Igbo are no better than the rest.
You claim that the Igbo nation is in the Niger Delta. That is where you fail, and continue to fail. There is no Igbo nation in the Niger Delta! Stop deluding yourself and others. The Igbos in the Niger Delta are merely immigrants.
That is why the Biafra war was lost by the Igbos. Had the Igbo not chosen to forcefully add the Niger Delta to their territory, they would have been a country of their own by now and nobody would have given a f*ck about them; they could have had their own country.
The only reason Nigeria is still "one" country is because of the Niger Delta. Maybe once the oil is finished, you can all find your own way and p*ss off.

You sounds ridiculous. Now, you and your people no longer have friends? lol. Your fathers must be turning in their graves. They made the right friends for you which are the hausa/fulanis and you are here rejecting your father's chosen friends. I said, you can't eat your cake and have it back. Igbos are immigrants in Niger delta? Joke of the century. It should be, the Ijaws, Ishekiris, Urhobos and other minors are the true immigrants in Niger Delta. Consult your history books. Your comment made you sounds so stupid when you insinuated that the

only reason Nigeria is still "one" country is because of the Niger Delta. Maybe once the oil is finished, you can all find your own way and p*ss off.

I don't know how old you are, but being young is not an excuse for you not to know that Igbos have always wanted out of that bleeping hell hole called nigeria since time immemorail when your fathers were still sleeping, but for your ethnic group and the Yorubas arrss licking and connivance with the hausas to keep Igbo down inside nigeria by force. You all were saboteurs against Igbos during the Biafran war. If not for your people's coward efforts in aiding the hausa/fulanis, we would have had out own country today. Now, the same thing we fought for 40 years ago, you and your people are waking up to it's reality in 2009. Good morning and good luck in your idiotic quest, but ONE NIGERIA remains.

beystwin:
The question is: why do wazobia (the North, East and West) have to leech to Niger Delta's oil?
Pathetic people! They are all parasites. Leave the Niger Delta alone to enjoy their oil in peace! Get your own oil.

Igbo nation have oil more than all the Niger Delta oil put together. In your so called Niger Delta, there is Igbo nation, so get your facts right buddy. When your visionless fathers sold their birth rights to the hausa/fulanis all in the name of getting at the Igbos, where was their brain?
Sorry, you can't eat your cake and have it back. Now, you know who your real enemies are, no longer the Igbos as is been percieved in your community as your fathers taught you to believe, but i am sorry, you can't get back your oil rights from the hausa/fulanis anymore. If you think you can, then flex your muscles and let's see how much you can.

I wonder why people are still believing this map of nigeria as the british people who handed power to the incompetent hausa people so as to use them mumus to indirectly hold unto their interests in nigeria drew the map.

The map as was drawn and shoved down to us at our various stages of schools is not a true representative of the land mass of various peoples of nigeria. Do you notice how they squeezed the land mass of Igbos and made it look as if Igbo people's land area is not big enough. That is out rightly rubbish.

I can draw my own map of nigeria and present Igbo land mass as the largest and hausa/fulani as the smallest. Noticed how the land mass of their yoruba arsss kissers is second to theirs? Absolute nonsense. The worst part is that our children at scholl are still being shoved this nonsense drama of a map down their knowledge faculty as legitimate. Map of nigeria as was drawn is nonsense and i will never believe in it just as any other same person would not.

I didn't see any Igbo name among the list. Yet, Igbos are branded by other lazy nigerians as lovers of money. I can see that only haters of money made the list.

Fashola for president my arrsss. "You people think that ruling a state is equals to ruling all the country" Ohhh yes, that would have been the sane and dumb argument that will be presented by you nigerians had Fashola been Igbo person. Nonsense.
He is yoruba and so yorubas turn to rule nigeria should be after 24 years even if Fashola, a yoruba person can turn nigeria into USA, but sorry, Igbo person must rule after yar'adua and others should must take their turn in ruling the shit hole country nigeria before yorubas could come again. ONE NIGERIA FOREVER. Nonsense.

udezue:
Ndi Igbo bu enyi.

Anyone who finds the Great I G B O Acronym is simply insecure.
It ain't like Strength was talking shiit about anyone.

Yes, but strength has succeeded in making them insecure. If you want to put more fear on them, just try and add OJUKWU and BIAFRA there and you will see them nigerians hampering and scattering. Those are three names that can send nigerians panicking unnecessarily. Igbo, Biafra and Ojukwu.

34 hits and none of all these yorubas and other minorities hausa/fulani arss lickers are commenting on this grave situation.  Imagine this

The policies are only good for advanced countries, not in Nigeria where education is still low and poverty still high, especially in the North”.

These parasites are hell bent on drawing the rest of nigerians, especially the fast moving Igbos back and arresting their development. The bolded goes to show you the mentality of these parasites that are in same country with my people. So, if such policies are good for advance countries, then it's a no no for nigeria because nigeria is a backward country and is supposed to remain so according to the beliefs of these parasites. If you parasites are illiterates,  how is it supposed to be the problem of Igbo people who have the culture of sending their children to school? So we should wait for you to catch up with us educationally (and on the process arresting everyone's development) before nigeria should advance further, but for how long? I blame those cowards who supported you in keeping as one country this shit hole called nigeria.

debosky:
They are both Igbo yes or no?

Other examples - The head of NEPA at a point was Joe Makoju (a Yoruba man) and Segun Agagu (also a Yoruba man) was head of the Power ministry at the same time - no cries of Federal Character then.

Ohhh yeah? They are both Igbo when it suits you. When it doesn't, one remains Igbo while the other will be tagged by you and your ilk as south south, or better still Anioma. Arrsholes.

IFELEKE:
Personally, I think the question that should be asked is ''Can Nigeria Survive without The Niger-Delta Oil?
All the region were ok in their own diverse ways before the discovery of crude but reverse is now the case as we are all heavily dependent on petro dollars.
In my Opinion, All regions will be hit if the oil wells dry up today.

Shut up my fren with your useless opinion. Igbos are not benefiting from any oil as they have been cut off with your awusa master's quota system and marginalization of all sorts, yet we have the highest living standard in your stinking nigeria through our hard work. Tell hell with the Niger Delta oil, after all we have oil in Imo, Anambra and Abia if oil is the only thing that humans should rely on to survive.

JeopardE:
Actually, at the rate at which he is going, I'm hoping he goes for a second term. Because if he does, we will probably have the largest election turnout since 1992 and he will win in a landslide.

Seriously -- who knew we could find leaders like this in Nigeria? The man revoked his own personal land allocation in Asokoro. Unprecedented stuff.

Moronism at the highest order. Some people don't just get it until it spews on their face. On the other thread, one of you porous heads was even proposing for Sanusi, the new CBN governor to take over from yaradunce because of his smart apearance on photo. That's why Igbos will continue greeting you visionless people "good morning"

biina:
I gave my opinion and have simply asked you to provide yours.

If it is removed, then how do you protect the interest of those not in power? militancy?

I didn't see such rubbish and illiterate induced system in USA, Europe and other responsible countries even in Africa. So how do those protect the interest of all their citizens? or will proper ways of protecting all the interest of nigeria's citizens aprt from quota system continue to be alien to you and your brainless awusa clan?

biina:
and where is your head at? Its people like you that peddle tribal sentiments that are the prime culprits of our failings.

Are you not awusa. So far as the status quo remains, for you and your people, there is no problem, not minding the set backs.

Federal character/quota system was enacted and enshrined into the nigerian constitution with the sole aim of nothing but to term the Igbo people's merited dominance of all nigerian sectors and in so doing arrest their development. Anyone who claims otherwise  must be an ostrich with it's head in the sand.

mikeansy:
I think the greatest gesture Yar'adua can do to the Nation is to step down and encourage Sanusi to run in 2011

The man seems very civilised . . . . . not the ridiculous occupant at Aso Rock

You think? but you haven't even started thinking. Civilized and hausa in the same sentence? You gestured same rubbish statement when Yaradunce was elected. Educated, graduate, university professor whom God have sent for you and your people. Men of short memory, all you "status quo must remain" have started again on this sanusi of a person and you in particular is not even ashamed to even recommend him for presidency. man, these nigerians, where are your brainzzzzzzz. Are you all good for only hausa/fulani arrss licking?

KnowAll:
The man looks like a westernize Hausa man not a typical hausa. We hope his policy we ursher in new investment and growth for the country.

Westernize and hausa person in the same sentence? The same thing and many more that visionless clowns like you and your people insinuated when Yar'adau was elected. The first educated nigerian president blah blah blah. Then, we told you people to take it easy and watch it first and your all refused. Two years down the line, we have seen how much educated he is.

Niger Deltans should be grateful. They are in the right hand and enough have been done for them.

Ordinary Nigerians prefer a very strong central government, in spite of pontifications about and agitations for true federalism and devolution of power to the federating ethnic components.

Former Minister for Petroleum and two- term senator, representing Adamawa Central, Senator Jibril Aminu dropped the bombshell in an exclusive interview with Saturday Sun.

The former Nigerian Ambassador to the United States disclosed that the relish for a unitary system, as against the advocacy for a weak centre, informed the dependence on the Federal Government by the states

‘But if you like, you can talk about federalism, ordinary Nigerians do not like federalism, they prefer a very strong central government, unitary system which I have advocated and I might not live to see it, but I know that we are going to get there. This country will get to a unitary system’

Excerpts:

Nigerians are worried that the constitution review has not taken off because of the stalemate of the JCCR; what is the way forward?

Well, I agree with you, we seem to have got stuck and you are quite right, there is some element of stalemate, arising from the artificial problems created between House and the Senate over this particular issue and I am sorry to say so far as I know, the problem did not start in the Senate.

I have always respected the House of Representatives and I always follow the history to say that. in the United States the House comes before the Senate and the House is strictly representational and the Senate in America used to be first of all, by nomination then by election, even now you have two senators per state.

So, there is a state I always give example, where the population is so small that they have only one ,member of the House of Representatives, but with two senators; one of them Joe Byden, is now the Vice President of the US. So, I respect the House a lot and I know they are very young and dynamic, but you see they should also understand the Senate has responsibilities over and above the House: the screening and appointment of people for ministers, ambassadors, others, like declaration of war, declaration of peace-- things like that.

Now, I also know and I always say it, I have seen distinguished members of the House, vying to become senators as promotion; I have not seen anybody from the Senate, go to the House.

So, I do not see why all of these things should happen, but I agree with you that it seems to me to be a problem about sharing and co -sharing and whatever and why the people are waiting, I do not think we can afford that, in the National Asembly and I am quite prepared to play my own role in bringing this about, if requested, or if it looks like that is the only way.

The review of the constitution is extremely important; mark you between you and I even if the Senate and the House are working on the review, it does not make the review any easier, what it does is to enable us to do our job. It may help, but I still look at the clauses there and look out there and the interest of various parties, particularly, the state government and the state governors and I know, it is going to be very difficult.

For example, immunity. We have had this in the days of President Obasanjo, he wanted immunity removed , he even offered, I understand, to have his own removed., but it was not successful. The governors did not agree and I do not expect them to agree now, particularly with the EFCC clause hanging over them; they would not like immunity clause removed, but I think it must be removed, if we are going to have a meaningful constitution, a meaningful system.

Secondly, the question of local government reform. Unfortunately in 1999, I am sorry to say this, the constitution amendment was very shoddy, it was not the one we handed over to Abacha in 1995. They doctored it and altered it and made that section on local government vague, to the extent that the governor and the house of assembly in each state can give whatever interpretation they like and the local governments, to carry a long story short, are they now functioning? It is because they are not getting their money and the houses of assembly, they deal with them, as they like.

Look at Adamawa, they say they have given the chairmen only one year. So, the local government is in a mess, but because you require two thirds of the houses of assemblies to agree, I doubt, if you can get it, because they look at their interest.

Number three, the state State Independent Electoral Commission . The cry now really is that the local government elections conducted were all sham; but I do not believe that they were sham in Adamawa, but people believe they were sham and really we need to … although it sounded good for the state to handle this and that, but it looks like, in the contest of Nigeria, if you want any semblance of transparency, regardless of the complaints made about INEC, I think it still should be handled by INEC.

Also, the local government are taken into account, in determining, if somebody loses or wins, president, governor or senatorial seats. So, there is no way you can draw a line and say, local government, ward down, give it to SIEC, and house of assembly, up should be INEC . It is very artificial.

But the submission of some people is that, if you give local government elections to INEC, you undermine federalism?

No, you don’t undermine any federalism. But if you like, you can talk about federalism, but ordinary Nigerians do not like federalism, they prefer a very strong central government, unitary system which I have advocated and I might not live to see it, but I know that we are going to get there. This country will get to a unitary system .

But a lot of Nigerians will frown at what you have just said…

[ cuts in] No, people like it, the state government depends on the Federal Government, on almost everything. Everybody is calling on the Federal Government; if anything is wrong with your school, in your area, you are calling on the Minister of Education.

That is why the constitution is very defective…

[cuts in] No, the constitution is not defective in that respect, because the nation is very defective in some of the things I am trying to tell you. Then Revenue Allocation; can you imagine, if you re open the subject, Revenue Allocation. Some people want hundred percent, some people want fifty percent, while some derivation.

So, this is another area, where people will argue. Then devolution; now we are coming back to where we talk about federalism, devolution and true federation and all that kind of thing. You will re open this and you won’t get anywhere, but muddle up the country! So, it is a very unfortunate situation. I have a solution, which I can’t afford to say in a media interview. So, these are things which make it very difficult to amend the constitution, even if the House and the Senate were working.

So, you people in the media and the rest of the general public, do not say the problem lies in the frosty disagreement between the Senate and the House of Representatives, the real problem will come out, when they agree and begin to work, but some of these problems I know are not insurmountable.

It has been alleged that a particular section of the country, actually used the House of Representatives to stalemate the constitution review, knowing full well that all these issues will heat up the polity.

It is not the North, I hope, because everything that happens, they say, it is the North; they allege, because the North is sitting on top of Nigeria and the only way the north is sitting on top of Nigeria, is if you have the map hanging on the wall !

Then, you see the northern states on top of the southern states; that is the only thing!! We are not on top of anybody; that is a ridiculous charge and it has nothing to do with us .When people are stuck… tomorrow, if you can get agreement between the two houses. Who is stopping the constitution review? Is it David Mark or Aminu, because I am a member? Who is doing it? Emirs or northern governors, or President Umaru Yar’Adua? Nobody is doing it, it is a lie!

Then, what does the North has against constitution review ?

The North even likes the constitution review; there will be argument. If the North is going to be affected by the revenue allocation formula… look, south east how much oil do they have? Will they not be affected by any revenue allocation change?

Your argument is that Nigerians want a strong centre, but it seems that is against the grains.

No, it is not; you are pretending that the north is the only one that likes a strong centre. No!

Well, the rest sees it as the only beneficiary of a strong centre

Nonsense! Everybody is a big beneficiary, if we did not have Nigeria today, in whose hands would the oil have been? Do not let me say things I do not want to say; that is not fair!

The Niger Delta appears to be almost a war zone now; what successive government has done for them has been dismissed as tokenism— whether through OMPADEC, or NDDC…

]cuts in] There is something you do not understand; the government has been acting strictly according to law. Even if you want to change revenue allocation, you cannot do it, right now, because that is against the constitution and remember you also have the rest of Nigeria and the Federal Government is responsible for the rest of Nigeria.

But having said that, look at what they have tried to do, when Obasanjo came. Look at what he tried to do with NDDC; that was the second bill he took to the National Assembly, the first was ICPC. Then, he started preparing some kind of master plan for the Niger Delta. He engaged the people to a talk; remember he even sent an executive jet to bring militants who in other countries would have been called terrorists to go to Abuja to have a meeting.

Now, look at when Yar ‘Adua came, look at some of the things he did, including, not as a replacement, but in addition a Ministry for the Niger Delta and put very, very seasoned and excellent public officer, Ufot Ekaette as the Minister. I think Nigeria has tried, within the law and within its responsibilities to the rest of the country.

If something happens to a federal establishment in Lagos, they make a lot of noise, but the federal government still diverts time and responsibilities, but things happen over the rest of the country. I don’t understand all these talk over lack of constructive engagement. The government has really tried and I believe they are not going to stop, but all I can say is that there are also a lot of good people within Nigeria in different parts of the Niger Delta ; people who value Nigeria more than they value oil and I think we are going to get there.

So, how do you reconcile amnesty to militants with deployments of troops?

So, what you are saying is that the federal government should do nothing about it? I don’t think they want to send troops there, but tell me what else could you do, after all of these efforts have been made? I am sure, even now, if they see any sign of serious desire to bring about peace, I am sure nobody will like to be using force.

What do you make of the alleged tampering with the Justice Uwais report? People are disenchanted that a government that made such an enormous commitment to reform the electoral process should have made the report public.

No, you people should learn to be fair and not follow, doggedly your desires and wishful thinking. This government set up this committee, by itself. The government did not say, ‘let us go to the public and discuss the terms of reference and composition of the committee’.

The committee did its job, it probably did it well and submitted it as in the law, to the body that set them up. You do not like that; you want it submitted to all the papers, so that it can be discussed, militant lawyers can have a field day.

But government said., we set up this committee they did their report, they sent it to me .

Number three,why do you call it a recommendation? Why not call it a law, or decree ? Why must I set up a body and you are saying that I must accept every aspect of that body’s recommendations? That means I am not serious. Under what system does that work? That the President, because Uwais was a former Chief Justice of Nigeria, he has done something, therefore the government must accept its recommendations. I am sure, even the committee members know that will not happen. No government will tolerate that , anywhere. Every white paper, you write your recommendations and you write government views underneath.

If government had made up its mind, why set up a committee, that will be tossed around?

Government didn’t make up its mind, they made a lot of recommendations, most of them were accepted. There were some that you wanted; you wanted the President, not to appoint members, why ? Why did the President appoint ministers, appoint ambassadors? Why not say everybody should go and appoint ministers as if it was a town meeting thing. Common, the President must be trusted to do a fair job and that’s why he was elected. So, you can’t say he cannot appoint members.

We must try to be reasonable . How can you say I appoint a committee, they made recommendations, I accepted a lot, but I have to accept everything, because some defeated politicians find that this is the way, by which they can maximize their chances. It is not so.

What the President did and the cabinet did, would not in my opinion prevent any free and fair election, if our people want free and fair election.

As things stand, do you think INEC is independent ?

INEC is independent by law, in their financing, in their system, in their staffing. How people decide to behave, because they can behave anyhow after their appointment. But if you want them to behave normally,  I am not saying INEC people are not behaving normally, because there are a lot of unfair accusations against poor Iwu, because a lot of people are not being fair to him. That is not even the issue; the issue is that INEC law, even as it is now, will allow free and fair election, if only people are serious and this goes right down to the ward level. We have to learn how to behave as a people.

Why do you think government jettisons Uwais committee recommendation that NJC should nominate those to preside over INEC?

Why should the NJC, which should deal with the behaviour of judges and legal people now take up the job of nominating people for elections? Where will you see that? Why not say the committee of vice chancellors should nominate; that is equally made up of very responsible people. Why not even the NLC? Why should it be the NJC? I don’t understand that and I don’t accept that.

You can’t stage a coup by a committee. The President was elected and the constitution gave him the power to do this thing; he created a committee to do this thing and you insist it must be changed today, even when the constitution has not been changed. That is ridiculous and I don’t see anything wrong with the President appointing members.

Backslider:
Hmmmmm


you can see what I have observed the "notthern" leadership and followership are more advanced than the South or East. If it was an Igbo leader doing this you will see people from his side castigating him.

The north dont pretend they are following their leaders.

You must be slowpoke and brainless chap to utter this rubbish. So, being a sheep qualifies to being advanced? In your own school of thought i think. It's only herds of sheep that follows one of their own into a hell hole, not minding what the place look or seems like. All of you nigerians being ooyess members for the hausa/fulanis idiots in the name of suppressing Igbos are the reason why nigeria is lagging behind in all aspects. In all civilized world, there are checks and balances amongst the "yes" and the "nays" and this promotes developments. But in your sorry case as the goats and sheep you nigerians are, it is only yessssssssss and arss kissing and that's why you people have plunged into big mess and aint coming out from the mess any time soon.




On the other hand, it is only the sleeping ones and their ilk that will find the above comments by the Arewa as surprising. As for we Igbos, we knew their arrogance since time immemorial and have been opposing them til today.

So much as Igbos love money so much and the other lazy tribes don't love money at all. Going by facts including the ones on this thread write up, it is clear who loves money more in that useless entity called nigeria.

OneNaija:
Point of correction.I am from Igbo in enugu. I am asking you a simple Question. Do you fight Biafra war.Ass hole.Stupid Idiot

Igbo wannabe, we didn't start to see your type today. First of all, you should go and learn how to write in proper English. No true Igbo write as you do here.

asha 80:
why is anyone especially southerners suprised at these?so you guys do not know or pretend not to know that that is how most guys up north think?

continue decieving urselves.

Don't mind the hypocrits. I wonder why the comment by that cattle rearer comes as a surprise to any of them. Let the man come out with another comment that we are not familiar with about his people. This one is so cheap to surprise anyone. Na today? Nonsense and ingredients!!!

OneNaija:
@toshmann Your Statement is fucking wrong. never tried to repeat that.You say Ibori was welcome as a chief. stop that stupid lie. I think your parents is from the northern trying to kills Innocent peoples that why you are defending them.The Northern are all Morons.They are stupid as well as fela say. Zombie.I don't think this Nigeria is one Naija. they pretend and kills the peoples all.Why are you saying Niger delta receive the big amount that a fucking lie. never they never receive it. the President and the Govt they always say fake alarm about that idea.They are lieing.You northern will see something in future that is my dream because you are slowpoke as well.

But your name is still One Naija. I do not expect you slowpoke to change your handle anytime soon. As someone said, you lots even prefer to suffer your "deserved" fate at the hands of your awusa/fulani masters than to fight and take your destiny into your own hands. Umu anumanu.

OneNaija:
@Bialegend Shut up your stupid Mouth. Did you fight the Civil war? Non sense

I don't need to fight the civil war to know the slowpoke, coward and sabotage actions of your fathers against Biafra and it's people. I can see that your name is OneNaija. Lol. Okay, we can continue with one nigeria as your fathers fought and stood for. Your brother Batubo, the London meeting organizer has even started calling for the division of the useless entity called nigeria. I say good morning to him and others of your ilk. Idiot, why are you complaining? Deal with your deserved situation at the hands of your mallam masters. Una never even se anything.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--because I was not a communist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak out for me

The quote above shoud refer to your clueless and visionless Ijaw people. It should remind you and your people of the Biafran era when you stabbed the Igbos at the back and sold your birth right for "ten kobo" to your awusa/fulani masters who are now dealing with you guys in ways that you guys surely deserve. After helping the awusa/fulanis to kill over 2million Igbos, no Igbo is left to speak out for you guys, so deal with your present deserved situation by yourselves. Stop disturbing people with useless photos of your Ijaw community. You should concentrate and reap what you sowed.

Billymusa, and your justice minister, Michael Kaase AONDOKAA is Igbo? You bigoted ewu awusa, Igbo hating, nigerian tribalist, oya answer the question.

The Hausas were just irretrievably poor!
The igbos just a little above average.

You are just being a hater. Consecutive JAMB results from time immemorial plus other statistics, business prowess have placed Igbos far above higher (intelligent wise) than other ethnic groups in your makeshift country nigeria put together. The orbos, i.e the Yorubas have always known to be the lazy clan. Is laziness a yardstick for measuring intelligence? Nonsense!!!

Afaukwu wroteI got pissed off when people start crediting Nzeribe with the annulment of June 12. Nzeribe and Ojukwu both behave like a typical spare part dealers; they don't care about anybody. All they care about is themselves and how to profit from other people misery.

The fact is IBB just didn't want to go, he kept annulling elections, ban and unban politicians, postponing handover dates until June 12 caught up with him. IBB engineered June 12 crises to perpetuate himself in power. In his last interview, IBB gave reasons why he annulled June 12; as a complex political inter play of self interest and different groups. Nzeribe is just a pawn used by IBB in a political chess game to checkmate democracy.

Obasanjo also used the same Nzeribe to impeached Chuba Okadigbo, the former Senate president, who was the highest ranking Ibo man in the regime. Chuba's struggle against the regime would later led to his death. Nzeribe is a psycho who lacks human feeling; he is a gun for hire and available to anybody who can pay his price. Nzeribe would betray his mother if he believes he would profit from it.

Some Igbo people have always revelled in position of a spoiler and anti - democracy:
IBB must stay campaign - was led by an Igbo man
Abacha must rule forever - was led by an Igbo man
Obasanjo third term project - was led by an Igbo man
Presently, Minister of Justice, Michael Kaase AONDOKAA is the errand boy for the Yaradua regime and doing all the dirty job

The problem with the Igbos is that some of your so called political leaders have the mindset of a Igbo traders. They are morally bankrupt, lack conscience and unwilling to sacrifice anything for anybody. They don't care about anybody nor the society; their sole objective is money. Such people are not fit for purpose

Ewu awusa, i didn't know that your justice minister AONDOKAA is also an Igbo man. "Igbos like money". The national anthem of lazy nigerians who can't work hard to make money like Igbos does. The last time i checked the list of those that haulled off nigerias money to foreign bank accounts, most of them are not Igbos, but hausas, yorubas and Niger deltans yet those Igbos that prefer to work hard and make their money are being lebelled money lovers by you lazy clans.
