haba.. Nigerians always carving out something from nothing.

It's not about Nigerians making something out of nothing, even Thierry Henry raised the issue during his match analysis.

Funjosh:
Am tired of recounting my experience with them please, may be some other day.

If you had recounted your story here what I expected of you is to drop the link to it but ok fine. Have a good day.

*Stiff Resistance* what does that mean Mtcheewww



As long as those Steewpid Herdsmen didn't allow me to finish my Service peaceful in Agatu, IT SHALL NOT BE WELL with them.

What happened? What was your experience in Agatu?

Ecoterrorism:
I can place a bet that he won't comment against his paid employees who are Fulani herdsmen

These are the kind of threats the soldiers and polices are supposed to be handling but you won't see them. Rather you'll see them killing unarmed people praying somewhere.

Ibos are contemptuous of everyone which leads one to suspect deep self loathing. They call Efik/Ibibios Mmong, Mmongho and other derogatory terms this is eually true for Ikwerres and many other Eastern minorities. We all know this. An Ibo woman would rather marry Yoruba than marry Mmongo or Ogoni or Ijaw .They only want to marry their oil. The Ibos know this, The Ibibios know this and so on. In the Abia axis there are some Ibos that share kinship with their Ibo neighbours and perhaps the story is slightly different but again What do the mainstream Ibos think of such Ibos as the Abiribas and Ohafias? We know.....

We call them mmono and it isn't derogatory. Every people have a peculiar name they call people from other tribe. We call the riverine people the mbamiris and mbamiri means country/nation by the water or close to the water. If you don't know the meaning of anything you ask questions. Nobody calls or refers to any other person/tribe with derogatory terms/names.

The yorubas refer to an Igbo person as omo nna, that is how it suit them to call us. The northerner call us nyamiri, that's how it suit them. Should we also take it as derogatory terms? Should we?

kenny987:
I wonder how people arrive at these opinions especially with this PDP/APC lens through which people view things on the national scene nowadays.

The personality of the judge over any matter is not in doubt but his training confines him and in fact binds him to the letters n spirit of the law. If the op is conversant with a little bit of our legislation as far as evidence is concerned then he may be aware that until 2011, when the Evidence Act was amended, the courts could not countenance digital evidence therefore things like emails, text messages, call records and so on would have no probative value attached to them by the courts. On this alone, if evidence before the court was only of this nature in support of one's case, the courts would not identify or accept them because they were not provided for in the law.

This is the same position on the Electoral Act. At the time this was passed into law in 2010, the card readers were not envisaged and therefore not made part of the electoral process by law. Therefore, the courts as evidenced in the reasoning of the Supreme Court, will not attach value to it over and above the Voters Register which is clearly provided for by the Act.

Judges are not makers of law. They interprete them and there are laid down rules of interpretation. The most a court can do in its judgment or ruling is suggest an action be taken in the context of making legislation. That is why it has directed INEC to see to the inclusion of the card readers in subsequent Electoral legislations. It is circumstances like these not previously envisaged that enrich our jurisprudence.

Coming now to state that the SC justices passed their judgements because they were appointed by the PDP is myopic at this time and this is me being charitable. If I am not mistaken, the current administration has not appointed any new federal judges at the Court of Appeal either so how then were judgments made in favour of the APC?

The same Supreme Court gave judgment in favour of APC in Lagos and a few others still based on the card reader and its inadmissibility so why the outcry over Akwa Ibom and Rivers?

On the issues of violence and killings, those were all based on hearsay. He who alleges must prove and hearsay is not evidence in the eyes of the law. The security officials who testified could not point to anyone arrested neither did petitioners present evidence that people were killed. The courts are also not bound to attach value to the opinions of electoral observers if they do testify especially when their testimony is discredited on cross-examination.
The Courts/Judges are trained to be dispassionate and follow the law as it is. None of the reasons for their decisions were taken without relevant provisions of the law guiding them. Substantive law takes precedence over guidelines so even the INEC guidelines will not supersede the extant Electoral Act.

Please do not disparage the laws and our institutions just because of political inclinations. Attacking the personality of the judges is also uncalled for. They have done their jobs and justice has been served.

Rightly served.

Nice.

Burger01:
I will never support the barbaric acts of the police and the army. I said somewhere that these people should've been arrested and not shot. Again, I don't hate igbos, I have sensible ones as friends...sensible ones who don't even give a hoot about iPOB but keeping their families safe, healthy and prosperous.
Enjoy your day

Your earlier posts say otherwise.

Enjoy your day too.

Burger01:
To pray you say? With your iPOB flags. Continue with your delusional disorder

Yes it is their right even with a flag so far they weren't disrupting anything. They weren't in the street causing any traffic gridlock, they weren't disrupting commercial activities.

What is wrong with you guys? Even if they were doing something wrong what happens to arresting them? Why kill them?

Have you lost your humanity because of your hatred for the Igbos?

You are really sounding so disgusting man.

Burger01:
You guys are the incorrigible ignorant ones. Keep wasting your lives for a cause that won't stand test of time. I will ask again, where is any family member of that clown Kanu you dolt are getting slained for That's ignorance of the highest order

You want to know where Kanu's family members are, right? I'll tell you. They are close to him giving him all the morale support that he needs.

You voted for Buhari in the election (obviously). During your campaigning for him can you tell me where Buhari's family was? Can you?

Your argument has no base. If you got nothing to say, it will do you great to just keep quiet rather than displaying how ignorant you are to the world.

Burger01:
Why shouldn't he be opinionated? He has a cause he believed in and he said the right thing. That protest was illegal, inciting and provocative. You guys are just tempting the government and you must be ready to take whatever comes with that act. Now tell me, where is any of Kalu's family in the protests you guys are getting slained for

To gather in a school compound to pray is illegal, inciting and provocative?

I honestly don't know what to say to you. Just keep the insanity going.

Mynd44:
*sighs*
Against my better judgment, I watched the video…yes all 44 minutes.


First of all, it must be noted that those protesters were committing a crime. You convened in a public school which belongs to the government and they had every right to evict youyou.

Then I saw police officers speaking to some representatives of the protesters and did they bulge? No, they kept up inside a school.

Then the military came in. Were they trying to commit "suicide by cop"? Those guys took a formation against you and you stayed, dared them when you are in the wrong. They could have all left and followed the path they followed when the shooting(?) Started.

The police and military did not start off with bullets atleast it is clear from the video. They used tear gas and that was when the protesters ran.

Now the actions of the policemen beating those they arrested was just silly and wrong. That should not be allowed in a sane society and the use of live bullets should never be allowed but for the love of God, tresspassing is a crime. What if some students were inside the school reading, having a study group or something? Did you peoole think of that?

I dont know where you want to take this video to but believe me, you dont go and hijack a school compound and think anyone will give you sympathy(especially since the narattor made it obvious that they were provocative and wanted to get their reaction to possibly blackmail then) . Especially seeing that you had every chance to leave and you refused. Hell, they had to box them into a corner, close to the fence away from the main school building showing they were trying to make sure everyone else was safe.

The use of live bullets soul never come up though. That is very wrong but teargas? Well……

To even think that you are a mod in this forum made it the more pathetic. Shame on you. Whoever made you a mod made a great mistake honestly.

Bias-ness at it's peak. Tufia

You've been made a god here, if you are going to ban me, get on with it.

misspicy:
lolz

I like your view,but no man is gonna give me time table to live my life by like this OP....wha dah F

Hi

coolscott:
[size=13pt]I think the OP has established himself as a fraud as he was boldly asked to reveal his nairaland pre-post identity otherwise we will believe he is a fraud and that he lies about his origin, and that he is Igbo. It is a harmless thing to do if his claims are true. But it is very harmful to his claims and rep it his claim of ethnic origins is a lie, which I am confident it is, and which is why he has failed to show us who he really is.

His expression here has just been an expression of fraudulence[/size]

With the indepth knowledge the guy have about the happenings in that part of the country you still termed the OP to be Igbo, that's some huge credit you are giving to the Igbo race to still have time for things like this even when they have more important things to think about. You are an Ijaw (I maybe be wrong) and you mentioned that you don't know about some of the things the OP stated existed and you feel an Igbo know much more about the things happening in your backyard than you.

Interesting...

What have they been doing all this while, let the game begin already.

Still haven't heard of the arrest of those that blew up pipelines earlier. Still waiting...

Ndi ara.

And the person who designed this, what's going to happen to the person? Oh I know, this is Nigeria where talents ain't appreciated, he's just gonna be shoved aside as usual.

Interesting

INTROVERT:
Hmmmm..... Someone told me that assuming oil was originally found in the north, they would have secceded from Nigeria decdecades ago.

Before nko? They would have told you how allah blessed them with the oil and they are not supposed to share it with infidels.

Ok

ijaw1stson:
10. The legal process in this country is slow, sometimes a little too slow for my liking. But we still respect the system because we know it is thorough and fair.

If this man could do it he would have taken us back to military regime.

Just watch them run this guy down with their mouth. You know those I'm referring to, the BRR.

cizy:
Muhahahahahahaha! My moniker francizy is still on ban self. They gave me a valentinian ban.. From 28th January to 14th February. Here's the info..

buhahahahahaha. This guy funny die. Anyways,we are in it together. Shame on anti democrats.

How many months were you banned bro? I know you were away for a very long time. I think the OMBN should have been given to you.

obynocute:
When the interviewer asked whether it was fair to say a group which killed over 65 persons in a single attack had been “technically defeated,” the President responded, “Well, that’s your own description of it. My own description is that they can no longer mobilise enough forces to attack police and army barracks and destroy aircraft like they used to do. They can no longer do that.”
Boko Haram is responsible for the killings of over 17,000 Nigerians, particularly in the North-East.
During his electioneering, President Buhari had promised to defeat the group if elected.

source: https://www.today.ng/news/national/75993/buhari-insists-boko-haram-technically-defeated-despite-recent-attacks

Is securing these more important than the lives of Nigerians?

So Bubu declared boko haram technically defeated because military barracks, police stations are no longer being overran by them, aircrafts are no longer being destroyed but human lives can be taken, people can be killed, right?

Bubu fear God na!

You were elected to oversee the welfare of the people first of all, not army barracks or police stations or military hardwares.

And the Nigeria Police are supposed to take over the security from the military. I just dey laugh this people.

Huh?
Were the gunships being hired by GEJ from South africa? I thought they were bought with part of the $2.1bn? Quite an interesting revelation if true.

Anyway, the story is from [size=13pt]breakingtimes[/size], one of the many useless post-election loss era PDP/ipod propaganda tools in the same category as Trentonline and igbereTV. I would wait until a reasonable media outlet carries this story before making further comments.

[size=15pt]Zombie Spotted[/size]

This is really serious. Where's Liar Mohammed that has attributed the "no loss of any territory to boko haram" to mean they've been defeated? He should listen to this.

4 LGAs? Still under Boko Haram's control? Choiiiiii!!!

Does it mean those times we weren't hearing of any Boko Haram's activities, the media were deliberately being made not to report it?

Na wa ooooo.
