Trust politicians at your own risk. politicians and playing to emotions are 5&6

NOwazobia:
And he was there with him when he was serving?

e nor tire you

Nobody expected you to say it's true na

Shut up midget.
If any region should be permanently excluded from leadership in Nigeria, it's your region.

Tell me one Fulani country that made any progress in last 100 years.

What have you done right in Kaduna?

sometimes I wonder how things would have been if there was no amalgamation. No entanglements with backward people. In a world where people are developing technologies, every Muslim infested country is fighting religious war.

His only achievement is killing Christians in Southern Kaduna, to expand Islam and Fulanise Nigeria, in line with one Ahmedu Bello instructions.

Cantonese:
People like you need to be on this forum rubbing minds with decent people and not some youths who use this forum as an avenue to show how their school fees were wasted.

Just like you commented, Gbajabiamila very likely would have played to the gallery as is the traditional character of our politicians. How would he ever pay the school fees of the children for life. He could get tired someday or even make himself inaccessible to the family as some point.

Already justice is served as the culprit was arrested and would be charged to court for murder. Do not forget the mood of the nation presently regarding the police.

You may wonder what happened to the results of inquiries made in too many cases like this. In Nigeria, the moment that tension easies, the matter is consigned to the dustbin of history.

"Strike the iron while it is hot". These is no better time than now for that family to make their demands. Did you see Gbajabiamila carrying the man's new born baby?

I can't agree less. thanks for your kind words.

I’m in 2 minds. What I consider is that when people are killed due to negligence, error malpractice etc., You don’t hear families of the deceased petitioning for a pay out, but for an enquiry. The payout is done hush hush and somewhat automatically.

And when a civilian is murdered/shot, likewise, you hear the families seeking justice, not money.
Settlements are often done off record and out of public domain where possible.

Perhaps the issue is they shouldn’t even need to ask and have felt sidelined/belittled, or maybe even insulted by the original offer which is quite shameful on GBA’s side. He should know the appropriate measures to take.

On the other hand you wonder, is money the answer to grief? Does a recently bereaved person immediate take up a fight for money? Feels a bit uncouth.

It’s already public knowledge so what’s in it for GBA to pay? Not like they will sign any disclosure to prevent his image from tarnishing. And if it’s a case for the FGN, then payouts definitely won’t make a difference.

Just unsure

Definitely mks sense to me, I get your position. But I w'll say this, in saner climes you don't request for money bc the person knows what to do, but in Nigeria, Gbajabiamila will play to gallary and leave the family with nothing.
secondly is there any other compensation you can suggest but money?? the deceased is a bread winner, so the people he cares for will need to eat, shelter, school, clothes etc.

onyechez:
You're doing well to say the truth. People like you are few in nairaland and Nigeria at large.

I feel honored. thanks for kind your words Nwanne! if you dey Abuja mk we drink Hennessy ( bill on you )

I understand your position, not petitioning the person means for me, that you believe this individual knows what to do and will eventually do the right. but you and I know that if you let the matter slide, GBA will play to public sympathy, while doing nothing for the family.

secondly, on money. how else do you suggest they be compensated?? money is not all, but it's the only option (emphasis on only). The man is a breadwinner for people, so those people have to be taken care of.

judgment by color will never stop. Nigerians will come here to criticize racism but your are Igbo, your neighbor is Hausa and you already judged him before getting to know him. same for the Hausa on the Igbo man. it's goes around, we have to accept it.

big oyibo!
Nigerian politics good o, everyday you speak English, at end of the month you chop big salary plus allawee.

What happened to all creative ideas you have spent money to get already. when are you implementing them??

Goodluck spent billions on Confab to chart a new Nigeria, where is the recommendation today??
Elrufai recommendation on restructuring nko??

I don't even know why people see this guy as a good man, "He who is silent in the face of oppression, has taken the side of the oppressor"

loopman:
I knew these people will take gbajabiamila magnanimity and friendly disposition towards this issue as cowardice and will want to milk this situation financially

Mike is just a nuisance looking for how to get at an APC leader

I had to consult my dictionary to see if there is a new meaning to magnanimity. For you eh, when your security operative kills a man, while on duty, howbeit unjustly, and you reach out to the family, then you are being generous abi??
that's slave mentality bro!! its a responsibility/an obligation, not a favour.

Even when plane crash happens, the airline pays victims families huge sums of money. It's not out of order to ask for money from him, because the security man is his responsibility and there is no other way he can compensate them. abi he give them another son and father??

I will ignore your second paragraph, because if I want to address it, I go chop ban. Nonsense and gbajabiamila!

thatsleepboy1:
IHEJIRIKA that dealt ruthlessly with the boko haram guys those days is been wooed to the APC. They've not even forgiven him for that talkless of? 2023 is not for the igbos at all. We should stop deceiving ourselves and there will be political tension nationwide after 2023 cos the north will retain it. It's not a threat. Just watch out for the coming years after 2023 cos even the igbos will be marginalized after that year and things go shele wella. Let Almighty God keep us alive to witness it and revelation 18 is about to happen soon.
Those that know what I mean know what's up.

Nobody kn what you mean, stop feeling god-like with your doom prophecy. we are too pessimistic in dis corntree

Someone was voted into power for a tenure of 4years, which should run between 2019-2023. But in 2020, he left his state and he is now living in Abuja, negotiating how to win another election in 2023.

Before you support Enyema, pls answer this question...

If I have money, as a private investor, will I invest in Arsenal FC or Enyimba of Aba??

This is business people, you don't attach sentiment. He can show more support for Enyimba, but to invest billions of pounds into it, is a waste time.

Before you tell me that he looted the money from Nigeria, its his loot. it belongs to him now, besides Nigerians generally don't hate corruption, they only hate the fact that they are not the ones doing (benefiting from) the corruption! kiss the truth.

pls I don't how I am feeling this morning, nobody should mention me pls

sapientia:
what does this mean

i dont get it

they did a meeting to support him

he responded by sacking them

Politics is action not words, even most of those that went with Dave will still go back to PDP before 2023. They know that if they don't follow him, they will be jobless for the next 2years.

Besides, Ohaukwu is a very stubborn place when it comes to Ebonyi politics, that area elects their leaders based on competence.

I thought they said lawyers are wise because they read alot of books??

The average salary for professor in Nigerian is #450k. A tout in the National Assembly dey chop about #300m a year. So in just one, he has more than the professor can mk in his life time.

why not sue FG for not paying workers and always going back on their agreements with ASUU??

I dont even understand the kind of American English DAVIDO is trying to form..

my dear e nor tire u

I never still enter plane for my life like dis o

All Nigerian youths need right now is one commanding figure to base a revolution on.

Imagine Nigerian police, crying that people are killing them, but for years their Motto is " I will kill you and nothing will happen"

alexpumpin:
Una eyes go soon clear for south east!....Apc will definitely zone its presidential ticket to the south, south west and south south (rivers state)already have political structure in apc to battle for the ticket. Suicidal politicking from the east

I don't think so, if you know umahi, you will know that he is no fool, he is goal getter, I mean the type that will do ANYTHING to get what he wants. If he is moving to APC, then there is something there for him.

And notice that I used "him" and not Southeast because whenever politicians want something, they bring the "we" and "us" tag.

Not taking anything away from him, Umahi is above your normal Nigerian politician, when it comes to administration and leadership. But his move is entirely his and nothing to do with SE. I only fear his ambition, because only God knows what agreements he has entered before this decision. ( Refer pg 1)

But will I want him as a president?? HELL YES!!

why is Biden in all this rush! I have no say in US elections obviously, but the counting is still going on, the electoral officers have not officially declared a winner. so why all the noise.

I don't give a shit about Trump, but Bidens haste psychologically means he is hiding something, perhaps Trump was right, the elections isnt free and fair.

Madmohamed419:
because of what wike did to my brother in River State I will do anything to help PDP criminal party to go down. They think Igbo are stupid. What did they do for us South East no second Niger bridge no good road nothing so y do we still in PDP

Wike funny guy.

You know, over the years this argument about being Igbo or not has always been around, but it is funny, because that is what Gowon wanted when he divided the regions and created states.

Thats is why a man, with an igbo name, speaking Igbo, will say he is from South South. what is South South?? South South is the region created by Gowon. So basically they have no history, Gowon created them.

Its like a Yoruba man from kwara saying that he is from the North.

A man from Aniocha, Aniocha of all places will say I am from middle belt, I am not Igbo!! if its about language, Yoruba is not the same all over Yoruba land, there are versions. why its only in the East that you guys accept division amongst yourselves baffles me.

Some of your ancestors will be turning in their graves. i am just talking history/root. I am not begging anybody to be Igbo, just know thyself.

Typical Politician playing Politics

Hausa/Fulani are the most selfish set of people alive.

truthfulparrot:
My dear Femi,

How did you got to this low end? Is it love of money or the fear of man?

You often looks very pitiable and incoherent whenever you attempts to defend the indefensible on National TVs.

You completely sacrificed your professional ethics and integrity at the altar of political correctness.

Other spokemen before you are doing fine because they tactfully refused to carry out their duties as a slave.

What are you afraid of? Being sacked?
Do yourself a favour....... request for the tapes of some of your interviews with channel TV and play it in the quite sanctuary of your bedroom. Then ask yourself- What would I have written in my days at the Sun Newspaper?

My the Lord give you peace!

yu just summarized all I wanted to say, except that he will not find peace! and no Lord will give it to him!!

I will never forget that Femi Adesina said "Is it not better to give up lands than to be killed"
