Adieu, my teacher, my comrade. The man who introduced me to Marxism at a very young age.. 17... I remember the robust debates ... Bala Usman, Patrick Wilmot, Ibrahim Tahir, Femi Odekunle, Ayuba Kazai,

Robust critic of military regimes and nationalist.

NECAS MAIDUGURI, pioneer set. I remember Prof today and may his soul rest in peace.

EUROBOMBER:
If Nigeria will ever break it can only be northern & southern Nigeria, that is the surest and easiest way, by "deamalgamating" Nigeria. Anything apart from this is a waste of time and energy.

Nigerians should ask their legislators. One thing is sure, APC whether as ACN or CPC did not support it and we voted them into office.

This is why some of us did not support that bazaar as we saw it as a Greek gift to some section of the country and Jonathan failed to harvest that mischief no thanks to his other misdemeanours.

For the avoidance of doubt , there is a constitution and lawmaking is the province of the legislature. It was a big gaffe for him not to have sent it to them. In addition, was that assembly of geriatrics and heavy train passengers truly a reflection of the constituent units of this country? Was there a mandate by suffrage? Questions,questions?

Dn't understand you!

Android phone disgracing me. How do I solve this problem?

From now onward, our new ministers should read only one book... one unwritten book from GEJ and it is published in chapters by EFCC, threat one with Dokpesi as the theme. I am sure they have read others like chapters on Ekiti / Obanukoro,DSS/Dasuki and Sanusi / Diezeani. This will guide them in do's and don't s. This book is live, in HD/3D and living colours.

I would have recommended another book, also unwritten,, by Abati, which should have been a summary of all the books he has mentioned, with as covering memo to GEJ on how to behave as a president.

Since he has not done so, and thas t is crass ineptitude, he should shut up.

It Good For Democracy.

Meanwhile, my candid advice to Hon. Faleke is that half bread is better than puff-puff. He should take it & see it as stepping stone cos nobody knows tommorrow.

From my point of view, deputy governor position is still good as same as member house of representative.

Wht i dn't knw is that, what will now happen to his house of representative slot if he eventually take the deputy governor post?

The honorable thing is to go back to LaGuardia and retool himself for the seat in the next election. Kogi needs to cool down. U discuss not see ant use in his being a deputy givwrnor. It will be like Tinubu and Bucknor..

Remember??

Jeez, as usual finding pro biafrans and the anti biafrans in a thread is like sieving water with a net. All that comes out are claims and counter claims. How one region is oppressing the other, how one region is more developed than the other and how one region once they break away conquer the world.
Instead of us finding ways to better our lots and fight the ruling class to work for us, na to day shout biafra and odua. Bleep biafra, bleep odua and bleep Arewa.

For God's sake, the south east have been ruled by people they voted in, their own "blood", yet they will keep quiet and blame Lagos for their wow instead of demanding service from their governors. Rocha's, Obiano or piano and the likes are there embezzling money and refusing to develop the states and one idiot will sit down and blame Lagos or Abuja.
Even the peeps in Lagos and Abuja are being misrule and yet they keep quiet and turn to Alexander the great online. Bunch of loonies y'all (all pro biafrans, and the rest of the country).

Oga Quotasystem, get a life. Blaming the Yoruba's for whatever misfortune u perceive is a tad immature. Hold leaders from ur region responsible. By now, according to ur insinuation, the south east should be paradise yet it's no worse than Somali. Get working and let us know u mean bizness.

And crime is not restricted to just a region. Crime is crime and is present in all parts of the country, the continent, the world and even in hell so enough with the bullshit.

Jeez

Dem go listen

Nocrap:
This is so funny. So Lagos is nonsensically arrogated to Yoruba I don't know when land owners and sons of the soil now have it by nonsensical arrogation According to your logic, Abuja and Newyork are merely arrogated to Hausas and American respectively, they aint sons of the soil.

Your greed and covetousness have completed blinded your vision and reasoning. I can't believe a person can think that because Abuja is Nigerian's capital developed with Nigerian money, the indigenous Hausas have lost ownership. Pls are you preparing for common entrance examination?

Dede is a wise old man..Let him tell us the difference between a certificate of occupancy and a certificate of ownership .

For me it is Jim Jones.... remember Guiana tragedy?

bloodyBLOGGER:
Christmas is here and the ibos are known to return to the SE from all nooks and crannies of Nigeria. I think now is the time to declare biafra or make it real by not moving back to other parts of Nigeria. This will make them to be seen as serious. But alas! they are going to move back to the same country and regions they claim marginalises them, which means they don't really believe in their land.

When is the protest slated for sef? Before xmas or at the turn of the new year?

And they call others parasites!!!

oyinkinola:
seems as if igbo were backward faced in movement, if not, just six years of Nigeria aged, igbo realised Nigeria marginalised them, dominated them, wants separation, went into war, lost not only the battle but the war at large, being a backwards faced elements, ignore the horror of the war, 44 years after, igbo is yet to orient her face forward still clarmouring for war! when do igbo enjoy forward looking movement?

Some prostitutes are infant nymphs.... not so?

arresa:
Fair write up, but a little off, incomplete picture and oversimplification.


Sure, investors look at the Nigerian capital factor, but the number one factor investors think and worry about before siting their investments is safety and security of their investments. The SW remains the safest and the most peaceful, progressive and conducive place to invest in Nigeria. Other factors are availability of skilled and educated manpower and also disposable income.

Lastly, leadership and their ability to seek and drum up investments via favorable terms, trade and investment summits.

Where was this analysis when Lagos hosts trade summits every year including Ehingbeti Economic summit.

Same with Ogun trade summit, Oyo state trade summit and SWITS/SouthWest Investment Trade Summit..

Investments doesn't drop from the tree, you have to work for it..

Investors wont jump into the North, SE/SS to invest anything because of insecurity and instability.

Many questioned Dangote for not investing in the SE, but the man is obviously not regretting his actions if intentional or not after witnessing the destruction of life and property including his own trucks in the SE last week.

Very good conclusion..... nothing to add.

My ambition is not worth the Blood of any Nigerian but the money that should be used to procure arms for our soldiers was diverted to Jonathan election campaign and our soldiers were running for their lives when they ran out of bullets and boko haram had an open day maming, killing and kidnapping

Jonathan should be tried for treason. Defense funds could not have been misappropriated without his knowledge. This well worn mantra has now been busted. This guy took us for fools. He just killed people by proxy in his failed attempt to be reelected.

I speak for the fulanis in Kano.... Thanks

Tonye.... yes Nigeria will decide, as always.. My PVC is permanently in my wallet and I use it to identify myself in all transactions just to remind me of what I and others are capable of.

I will use it against the interests of all those who are spreading hatred among us.

Under normal circumstances, it is OK for Dokpesi to receive payment from government for his labour regardless of which agency is paying. All he wants should be a cheque or bank alert. Let him just explain and go home.

The question is whether that government was " normal". From what we are hearing today, this is not the case. The track records of Dokpesi and his media outfit is in the public domain and I do not fault anybody for thinking negatively.


From the look of things, He is very inept in handling financial matters, from the collapse of AOL...Africa Ocean Lives where he swallowed Abiola/ Shehu Yar'adua's money to Raypower stocks and the allegation of fiddling with shareholders /bank loans in the acquisition of equipment to nonpayment of staff.

I have said it somewhere in one post that his apology to Nigerians on behalf of PDP was very pregnant and he definitely knew what he was saying. Now we know.

Others are on cue... I am waiting for the next howler.... from This Day stables.

I do not expect the family reaction to be ant better, afterall, antelope pikin must jump,if na him born am.

SweetSoup:
Oh you didn't know? They've transformed to "We want Biafra crew"...

OPEC is marginalising.......you know whom zzz?

Guy carry ur dick commot here joor!

Guy, stay calm joor... Tony is right. Afterall we all are dick products .

asadike:
that's my guy. what an intelligent chap u are! oya, i don follow u, follow me back sharp sharp.

He is going for his reward .. a quick one.. lol


Nymphomaniacs ..... bigotry meets sodomy.

Owobokiri is definitely not an ambassador of the true secessionists. I do not believe that they think like him.

suniblu:
why 'll nairaland make such rule. 're u saying I can't report something I am an eyewitness to.

If you are an eye witness, why are you quoting the Guardian?

micayo:
Noted that his father died when he was four (4) but that doesn't make the allegations of the 53 suitcases false. Read a little about it here and get more details about it yourself: www.vanguardngr.com/2011/03/53-suitcases-saga-buhari-blasts-atiku-jonathan/


N.B: Its the joke is 'on' you.

It is false to connect his father to the suitcases and in the same vein trying to educate someone.

helpee:
I am not supposed to respond to a vulnerable person like you. Lai Mohammed Mohammed said they promised you 5k and not the unemployed graduate. Who is a civilian? Billion was traced to A company account... A media house with TV stations and radio stations. Advertising can come gulp billions . It is non of his business if you use your entire life to advertise as long as he is in business. In America, millions of dollars are spent on electioneering campaign. Why should Dokpesi start Investigating the account they used to pay him. Don't be part of the vulnerable that the only thing they call change is the monthly 5k allowance

Mr. helper

You are not helping your case. So NSA is advertising Tom Tom and Maggie cubes Or he is an election campaign coordinator /financier

drss:
Clearly inec was following oders from above. In sane climes audu's deputy should have been sworn in but because we are in a duara gworo era, anything goes. Under buari dullaard inec has lost their independence.

..


Really?

Faleke should have been sworn in, in an inconclusive election where a certificate of return has not been issued ?

You are the dullard.

@OP,
Why are you so obsessed with food, lunch,lunch, haba!!!! LOL

All these charge and Bailey lawyers sef.... election tribunal and interlocutory injunction no dry again. Very soon na deviation of age and affidavits dem go dey file for court.

Semper247:
Mr chukwudi, u support Biafra and still support Bafarawa, a citizen of the zoo. Where do u really stand?

Biafra wan carry this baggage.... abeg carry go.

aresa:
Funny how you people suddenly fell in love with rule of law after losing election, after keeping quiet and sitting on your fingers for 16 years while this same lawless, impunity loving, corrupt and incompetent PDP ravaged the country to her knees..


You care less about the rule of law when this same Dasuki, GEJ and his cronies looted the treasury via unlawful extra-budgetary withdrawals..


The mode of operation with you people is always to look the other way when lawless acts are in progress, but cry and wail when the law steps in to seek justice..


You people represent the very worst and odious side of Nigeria...

Nice conclusion. The apology by Raymond speaks volumes, Now we know that the "worst and odious" folks in our midst are walking on the red carpet....of shame.

Okanokan:
PassingShot, your wish of having a dictator as Head of the Federal Government will surely not come to pass. The POL POT and accuser, prosecutor and judge MENTALITY being openly displayed by the leading light of the Apc, which has also infected its youth body will lead it, to ITS OWN DESTRUCTION;
Nigerians are in support of a total war against corruption but not the case where Government will be accuser, prosecutor and judge, by passing judgement on the pages of newspapers and on net as you have just done by asking Nigerians to embrace DICTATORSHIP and SUMMARY TRIALS. Come to think of it, the membership of Apc and Pdp even when you add all other registered parties are less than 3% of Nigeria's population, therefore Apc and its members must bear in mind that 90% of the Nigerian populace are watching in SULLEN SILENCE, because they belong to neither the Apc or Pdp. All we ask is for Apc to do the RIGHT THING, so that we do not create ------.

There are allegations and investigations going in and to the best of my knowledge no judgment has been passed.

Please keep your powder dry. We are all watching.

ezebunafo:
you are a ba*tard and a greater fool,grow up.

Chukudi.... see ya life. Why do I have this feeling that you are a combination of a nymph and a sluuuut. collecting the fee and enjoying the humping. You are a masochist and you relish being insulted..... This is bestiiiiality of the extreme kind.

wink2015:
[size=18pt]why is pdp now crying crocodile tears for Raymond Dokpesi, a man they have since disowned over his criticism of PDP fielding President Goodluck Jonathan as against a northern candidate the party originally zone the presidency to?[/size]

..



With this development, can we say that Raymond knew what he was talking about when be made that very pregnant apology?

Alphaoscar:
I love it when you wail without sense. You are notorious here for defending any one accused of corruption even before the accuse defend him/herself and I wonder the kind of family you come from and the kind of upbringing you had growing up.

You should be more concerned about his offspring.

micayo:
Let me educate you on who ur dumb president is, he is a man who holds others (opponents) to what he does himself and calls that 'fight against corruption'. During his military regime his father smuggled dollars in cases into the country through the MMA and Atiku who happened to be the Assistant Custom Director voiced out back then but nothing was done because he was 'family' which speaks a lot against the 'fight against corruption'. Now you silly thing believes anything would be done to the numerous thiefs in the APC as well? Atiku, OBJ, Tinubu, Fashola, Amaechi all embezzled and they won't face prosecution because they are 'family'. Nigeria is a Joke and its pple like you and all other APC sycophants that made it a mediocre of the highest degree.

N.B: From all indications does it look like Buhari wants to prosecute his party members? Instead he offered them Ministerial positions to keep stealing. You must be very gullible

You do even know how to lie. Buhari's father died before before he joined the army.


And you want to educate others. The joke is in you.
