Its good Biafra is on the list

Not Ijaw leader but few APC members from the riverine side............ , No impact at all

So sad. Happens when these power companies aren't in charge of maintaining their equipment........lots of careless behaviours with power generating companies

Trash! there is oil in the SE, more so Igbos are not people who have largely depended on Nigerian oil. The richest woman in Nigeria made her money owning oil bloc and drilling oil so also a lot of northern elites?? how many SS elites own own bloc. Anyways now their eyes are clearer....

What we are saying is there is no evidence to the claim

ajasbaba:
Abeg its her life nah,


make una free her.

Or is it a crime to marry Igbo brother again because

the OP seems to be looking for trouble with this his question.

Please am still reading that of Rivers state send the complete please...

Obasanjo is a coward who always listens to his Fulani Lords. A lot of yorubas don't support his slavish habit for sure.

Who cares. He is a crony of the ethnic 5% president

He displayed wisdom as the number 1 man of PDP there then he has to keep watch while others were away. Anything may happen in his absense

Wike won in Rivers election no doubt about that

Wike won in Rivers no doubt about that

Yes must be a ploy to ground MTN. If the head was one aboki would Pres. Buhari have made that move. Pres. Buhari is too much of an ethnic bigot to head Nigeria..

Keep killing yourself over what does not count here. Anyways you must be yoloba for sure

Greatidonis:
Lier, Ikwerre and Kalabari Can't be the same. Okrika and Andoni. Can't be the same etc etc

You cannot compare US/America and the age they were in and the age we are in now......US was growing progressively but Nigeria as been regressive growing from an 11years old 40 years ago to now 6 months

scully95:
What sort of Separatist post is this ? The AngloZionist Empire should go back to suck their blood not any Ibgo, Yoruba Hausa or anyone. If they expect Nigeria to be like them.. Never.. US at Nigeria's age was busy Fighting Civil war.. That same U.S is now controlling the world but now that is going down by the day. Now is a multi-polar world and we Nigerians will go all out to defend it..

The next frontiers we are looking forward to are African development bank, BRICS bank, AIIB (Chinese World Bank) and SCO.. Schangai Co-operation... We know where the dead Biafran ideology came from. back to the Sender.. This neocons think everyone else is stupid sha ? What an insult to our intelligence..

Don't mind them Jare! as if they care that much.......why the scare and the much talk It will sure be a great country

tonychristopher:
The question I ask is why are they scared if Biafra... I still just don't get it. They are saying that Igbo are the key that hold Nigeria


So I just don't get it

Well it at least spells out what Nigeria citizen should stand for..........so an elder states man is expected to be well abreast. Its no use trying to play down standards. These and many more are the reason Nigeria grew from an 11 years old about 40 years ago to 3 months old now

ExInferis:
Then you've no idea what the pledge is.

The pledge simply means swearing fealty. It does not show what the country stands for.

Ojukwu was barely 35 years in the first struggle it may not have been the best arranged war but his intentions where not out of place, doesn't mean we should now seat and allow ourselves deep in mediocrity. He time has passed now is ours we can better do it. Nigeria either has to be renegotiated or people part ways otherwise growth will be difficult

Biafra was agitation even during GEJ times..............Buharis vindictive nature gave it even more voice...

You forget a large number is also outside the country.............The are all over the globe

ezeagu:
Of course this isn't all of Igboland combined as a large chunk of the Igbo indigenous lands and people are in Delta State and Rivers State, but what do you think, coupled with the high education attainment of the "south east" (a chunk of Igboland), is Nigeria holding Igboland back?

Trash even the riverine are for Wike. Rivers people see themselves as rivers people without much of ethnic divide go hustle else where

Abagworo:
People who don't know Rivers State keep writing thrash about Wike winning a free and fair election. That is impossible. It is the turn of riverine to rule. PDP has to swap Wike to have any chances at the polls.

This news is as fake as a mans pot belle!

vision2022:
25000 PDP Members in Riers State have defected to All Progressive Congress siting zoning imbalance as motive behind their defection. more details shortly.

Your people can remain with the north. when they are gone.....

KHAYGOLD:
If dem born dem well make dem con protest 4 naija. Awon goons. Dey can only beat chest.

Credit (Borrow)......chai!

warrior01:
Dirty India offering Ab0ki money and he is happy. Like I said earlier; Ab0ki goes to school.

Credit not dash.....them don go borrow money for india??

will be easy target for militants for sure.........leave Niger delta oil out of this.

Not for long words...An elder states person ought to know what his/her country stands for.

ExInferis:
This forms the fulcrum of my contention, and it seems like a good candidate for us both to approach some sort of equilibrium on this.

Like i said before, using your company analogy, it's a silly idea to disqualify a candidate just because they dont know the company motto. That's a daft HR policy. You dont hire people to recite and regurgitate your motto, you hire them to add value to your business based on their competence. A good HR looks beyond attire, speech, interviews etc, all things which can be mechanically practiced and crammed from that handbook "HOW TO ATTEND INTERVIEWS AND GET THE JOB" or whatever.

In the whole picture of making profits, a company motto (which is a mere motif no matter how you look at it) does not figure at all. Motifs are for marketing, and encapsulating visions in the blurbs of jackets and websites. So also a pledge, which is a symbolic act.

Symbolism should not take precedence over personal competence and abilities. Im not saying pledges are not good; just that they shouldnt form an overreaching criteria for selecting competent hands to move an idea forward.

Yes one of those who made money from Niger Delta Oil....

....and you are on Nairaland doing what Has he Gowon ever addressed the issue of Fulani Herdsmen?? Hypocrisy Mtchw!!

IdisuleOurOwn:
Look at this old man called Peter okwong. Are you not ashamed of ya self? All ya mates have achieve something good with their lives, but you, you are on Nairaland doing what? Spewing trash on a daily basis.


Smh.

Agree, the pledge is like a companies motto;
Some job candidates have lost not shortlisted for not been able to know the motto of the company where they applied or what they stand for.
For a national leader my dear he/she has to, we take a lot of things for granted that's why the country has remained like it is.

ExInferis:
I see your point..but still....

It still shoudnt be a prerequisite for service. Are you saying some of the soldiers daily sacrificing their lives in the North East are not worthy for service on account of not knowing the pledge or the anthem?

There's a bunch of public servants who know the pledge, the anthem, and even the constitution but still have not added any value to Nigeria.

I believe there are better questions for the senators to ask than recital of the pledge. I also believe there are better metrics for gauging suitability for the job than repeating the pledge.

A grasp of our problems and how to solve them with limited resources ought to over-ride whatever other flaws the nominee has over our nationalistic motifs.

Yes for sure. Nigeria was a lot better at least

We should be talking about the sponsors not the errand boys. Mtchew!
