Poignant and apt. This article pierces straight through the hyperbole that is US propaganda of world supremecy, and it was done with salient reasoning.

And YES! Nigerians are not capable to steer their destiny, with or without conspiracy. They just make a soup pie out of everything they get their hands on.

Believe me nothing would happen to Buhari till he is sworn in, and when he gets assassinated,ie if he is…… USA would be the first to analyze,conclude and point out the culprits , the whole world and Africa's media will echo US stance, and that's what your people will act on, and that's what will be written in history, your tiny voice won't even be heard by the dude standing next to you, and if you scream…Conspiracy Theory hehehe.

Don't worry, all these you are thinking will not happen, but IT will happen and you'd be surprised.

APC will win. Will be close, but APC will win.
Who needs PDP hanging around anywhere?

Roland17:
Whose fault is it that Cuban and the Mavs did not scout their roaster needs properly before getting Rondo, there is absolutely no way Rondo would succeed with the Mavs except he is on the bench, the Mavs don't need a ball hugging pure PG who commands and directs the pace of the game like Rondo, the first team is way too mobile as every player wants to touch the ball, they are all pure shooters in their own rights, so mixing Rondo with them would only be detrimental to their game, the Mavs are no longer a half court team, they are not the Grizzlies or Bulls that depend solely on the activities of the PG to spread the ball.

Seriously, any Yoruba human being who really believe Igbo claim that lagos is a no man's land is completely a fool. Igbos reinforce that claim in other to increase the yoruba people's anger, and all for fun on NL, but Igbos will also risk yoruba over reaction to spill over to the street. Igbos want a way out of Lagos or Nigeria.

Mehnnn....

Buhh, wait oh!!
how will you leave a nanny,
Who's also a complete stranger
Alone with your kids
On the first day of resumption!!






Hope the kids return safely sha...

Roland17:
It can't translate in court if the coaches and players around him don't understand him, Rondo is a perfectionist, he is always thinking ahead of plays and most coaches don't, Its like a kid with schizophrenia, who is way to direct in his approaches and has expectations society deems abnormal, on his good night, I mean the era of the big three in the Garden, Rondo is better than those names up there, yes I dare say even better than CP3, if only he gets some freedom to play some calls.

I doubt we would ever see the best of Rondo ever again, I fear his decline is imminent and he might decide to retire early from frustrations.

naijababe:
At bolded, I agree but I will be really surprised if JK does not know that! JK imo if he gets elected will simply act like the prodigal son and return home. It would have been different of course if ACN is the opposition at the centre.

Please read this article if you really want to know the true Rajon Rondo and his story, i miss him alot and i am worried he might never get a better coach that truly understood his mentality like Doc Rivers did..

Funny man. You really think JK will do an Afonja? It's all about votes man. It is wishful thinking to imagine that JK will win and automatically become Azikiwe, the Igbos are being played.

No need to shout. Go and vote for Ambode. It's not their fault but that of Omo ale agbaje, akotileta. He wants to sell his birthright for a farthing. God will not allow him.

You can imagine what will happen should PDP and Agbaje be allowed near the seat of Government in Lagos

APGA leader urges Igbos to vote Agbaje, PDP

The leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Lagos State has called on eligible Igbo voters in the state to cast their votes for the Peoples’ Democratic Party in protest against the hate remarks by Rilwanu Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos.

Campbell Umeh-Nzekwe told PREMIUM TIMES in an interview, Tuesday, that Igbo residents in Lagos stand a better chance of fulfilling their potentials under the PDP than the All Progressives Congress, APC.

“Since PDP has given us opportunity by allowing Ndi Igbo to win (three) House of Reps and go to Abuja and defend Igbo interest and Lagos interest, because we are all Lagosian​s​,” said Mr. Umeh-Nzekwe, who contested for governor in Lagos State in 2003.

“Then I’m of the candid opinion that it’s better you support what you are having. Except APC are now coming again on the table to tell us what they will offer us if they win.

“There must be bargaining power in between. In the absence of that, I ask Ndi Igbo to vote for PDP because PDP has given us opportunity, and we need a lot of opportunity to grow. That’s what we are asking for, not peanuts or hand-outs from APC leaders. Give us opportunity to run for elections.

“Than looking for where they are chasing shadow, in APC, after 16 years they use one dummy – one commissioner and one member in the state executive – to deceive Ndi Igbo.”

Mr. Akiolu had told Eze Ndi-Igbos (Igbo traditional rulers) of all the local government areas in Lagos State, who had come to pay him a courtesy visit, that they should cast their votes for his chosen governorship candidate or “perish inside the lagoon.”

The Oba supports the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Akinwunmi Ambode.

Mr. Umeh-Nzekwe blamed the Igbo chiefs, who he described as “political traders,” for Mr. Akiolu’s hateful remarks.

“How can you tell a race, like an Igbo race, that they will die or lagoon will swallow them if they did not vote for APC? It’s because there are people who went there to go and beg him for money,” he said.

“Some people gathered themselves and went to him. He give them kola, and giving you kola and asking you to go and vote for somebody, let’s take it that he armed them to go and vote.

“If so called Ezes dragged themselves and went to the Oba palace to go and pay unsolicited homage, what do you expect at the end of the day?”

Mr. Umeh-Nzekwe said during th​e election period, a lot of people had claimed to be representing the interests of Igbo people in order to obtain favour from politicians and prominent people.

“This is a political period. Some group of Ezes went to Tinubu, some were campaigning for Jonathan. I know some group who say they are Eze. Everybody is claiming Eze in Lagos, that’s why we will never find our level.

“Ndigbo cannot vote for APC. PDP have allowed non-indigenes to participate. APC closed their doors, non-indigenes cannot contest elections under APC. You can see from the whole arrangement that there is no non-indigene from the whole candidates they fielded for the election,” he said.

“In 2003, I ran for governor of Lagos State under APGA. In 2006, when the issue of Funsho Williams and APGA was trying to form an alliance prior to 2007 election, Tinubu appointed Ben Akabueze as Commissioner for Planning and Budget, and appointed Joe Igbokwe as Publicity Secretary of AD (Alliance for Democracy) then.

“Up till today, there is no other appointee of Ndi Igbo either in the party or in the cabinet of Lagos State government, apart from other administrative and council officers. There is no any other political appointment, either as commissioner or DG or Permanent Secretary. So it’s like a dummy.”

The APGA leader argued that Yorubas do not get the same opportunity in the South East because Lagos is a “colonial settlement.”

“It’s a cosmopolitan city. The name itself ‘Lagos’ is a Portuguese name, not a Yoruba name, or Igbo or Hausa name. Do we have such in Igbo land? We don’t have such.

“Lagos is purely a colonial settlement, forget those who are claiming it. Some people came from Ogbomosho, they are only enjoying proximity. And they are taking the thing as the owner of the land, which is wrong.

“In those days you dare not cross Marina, there is a prison yard near that Marina there, you don’t cross there because they will arrest you and put you in cell. You don’t go there. All the Ikoyi you see, all the Victoria Island, was a colonial master arrangement, not a Yoruba arrangement. So the issue of Igbo land and Yoruba land is a different thing.

“If you say Igbo man cannot go to Oyo State or Ekiti State and contest, I will concede, but Lagos is a colonial settlement, not a Yoruba land. They are only laying claim.”

Like for curry for MVP or share for Harden for MVP.

mensdept:
Perhaps said already, but it is not hate for Yorubas by everyone in the South, but disappointment.

Why, I don't know, because Yoruba will always do whats in their interest first and foremost, as witnessed in the last election. They can't be doing southern solidarity if that means Airports in Port Harcourt and Enugu may overtake the one in Lagos during another 4 years of GEJ. They can't be doing southern solidarity if the East may get another state, additional positions in the military, banking, etc.

No, I m not saying GEJ did as much in his first term, or the PDP governors ( like Theo Orji), but in 9ja, Yorubas and the Northerners do whats in their interest-no matter how controversial, and the rest is history. Not necessarily a bad thing

MVP race is between Harden and Curry and maybe Westbrook
