Your matter just tire me.Will come back and tell u what to do!

The guy nor well at all.

Don't bother coming back to tell him anything bro.

Imagine what he said 'I swore never to marry from Anambra state', as if it was 'Anambra' he's been sleeping with. Anambra don turn woman abi? Akuko onye ara!

That guy's life appears more messed up than he painted of the girl's family. Little wonder, he's unable to resist her each time she returned. What's it again that is said of birds of a feather.............?

Mtcheeew.

omonla10:
how can u say yesterday was luck?.. That means u, finishing university or polytechnic was luck or getting where u are now is luck.. I strongly disagree bro.. The boys had a better team and put in some hardwork..
When last have we had 4 good wingers in the team at once

I agree with you. There was no thing as luck in yesterday's win by the Super Eagles.

The desire to win was visible while the work needed to do so was glaringly displayed.

I say kudos to them, and hope that they better with each game.

Useless man. Do these things instead.

1)stop your brothers from killing other people or else they will kill them back.

2) restructure the country since you have the national assembly in your pocket.

That's all we need from your lifeless body

Illiterate!

Have you been there b4

Ignore him please.

����� this dullard is really confused, he is busy showing us this rubbish instead of governance. Please tell us how, your son bought bike for 300 thousand dollars. Well I am not surprised, after earning about 2 million naira monthly ever month for four years without paying rent or feeding, the dullard could still not save 40 million naira to buy APC nomination form

Post receipt of the bike his son bought for $300,000.

Dey there make body dey pepper you over nothing, mumu!

Amuocha:
Eye service

Let it be.

Pepper body!

The Lifeless Tyrant is out to have the press in his pocket by gagging it, same way he wants a rubber stamp legislator.

Once a coupist always a coupist. Nigeria’s democracy won’t survive with Tyrant dullardeen in charge.

Who is this illiterate?

AIT clearly breached NBC rules and had to be punished.

[quote author=middlebelter post=79027001][/quote]I am not surprised that you tried to justify Obasanjo's action in Odi, obviously because you aren't from there and didn't loose any loved one in the massacre. Tell me, have policemen or soldiers not been killed on peacekeeping assignments across the country in the current administration?

Secondly, there is nothing unfair about Buhari's appointment whatsoever. Please, if you have figures saying otherwise feel free to share. All the ministers (save for Mr. Anthony Onwuka) from the SE held substantive positions, i.e. Dr. Chris Ngige, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah and Mr. Geoffrey Onyema.

How much votes did the SE give the president in 2015, and even in 2019? Why did the regions that gave more support be the ones to hold 'non-substantive' cabinet positions?

Since when has the appointment of Service Chiefs being about population? You seem to have moved the goal post after I puntured your claim that the Service Chiefs were Northerner Muslims.

On the Chief of Defence Staff, please go and do a research. He is the highest ranking military officer in Nigeria. Perhaps, you should take a peep on the link below.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_of_the_Defence_Staff_(Nigeria)&ved=2ahUKEwjhpfTsgNPiAhUHzqQKHetuCHUQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2KtN4aQLkGkCF0PDgp-01t.

[quote author=middlebelter post=79019848][/quote]I understand what MDA means. What I am saying is, you need a list of MDAs and their Heads to buttress your allegation.

You seem to have left the matter of the Service Chiefs. Do you now agree that the Service Chiefs are not all from the North and Muslims, as you attempted to portray?

There is no tribe in Nigeria that is not guilty of tribalism. Please, let's not even go there. I have lived in every region of Nigeria.

You will agree with me that there has been no time in Nigeria's history that she has had to deal with as much insecurity in a single swoop as she is doing now.

Insurgency in the North East; Seccessionist crisis in the SE; Kidnapping all over the country; Cattle rustling and farmer-herdmen crisis, especially in the NC and NE; Cyber crime, especially in Southern Nigeria; Rising cases of cultism, ritual killings and arm robbery; Religious crisis in the North, particularly involving members of the Shiites islamic sect.

Anyone would commend the president on his management of security in the country given the circumstances and realities before us. Have you asked yourself how significantly the size of our military and paramilitary forces have increased over the last decade? As for your Obasanjo security management comparison, I want to believe that you made a mistake mentioning that, as we all remember what he did in Odi. Is it something you would really want to see again?

Before the emergence of Buhari, we saw attacks of the Police Headquarters, UN Building, Banex Plaza and Nyanya Motorpark by insurgents in the nation's capital. Do you even know what it means for a group of insurgents to attack a nation's capital? Do you have an idea of how many people have been freed from Boko Haram captivity and resettled with their families and communities? Do you know how many homes destroyed by the insurgents, in their thousands, have been rebuilt, including schools, hospitals?

[quote author=middlebelter post=79012755][/quote]Everybody from the North is now Fulani. You make me laugh.

You really aren't relying on specifics. You jump from Service Chiefs to Heads of unnamed MDAs. Why don't you name all the MDA's and their DGs and let's see.

The most senior of the Service Chiefs, CoDS Gabriel Olanishakin, is from the South. Is CoNS Ibok Ekwe Ibas not from the South and a Christian? How many ministers were in Buhari's cabinet? How many were Christians and from the South, and how many were Muslims and from the North?

Nigeria's wealth comes from the SW and SS indeed...the SS maybe but they get much more than the other states in monthly allocation. Doesn't that acknowledge and make up for their contribution? Or are you saying that the other regions contribute nothing to the economy? There's NDDC and a Federal Ministry dedicated to the welfare and develop of the Niger Delta, what have they achieved with all that?

Where is the Head of Service of the Federation from? Federal appointments are usually governed by Federal Character. I know that there is corruption in the allotment of these appointments, but this is not a Fulani affair. Every ethnic group is culpable.

middlebelter:
This one is an opportunist looking for allocation of government favour.
Since you claim is not real, shall we then pray you become one of their victims with your immediate household so that you can at least believe and then have feelings for the affected.

Oga, abeg go and sit down.

There is no such thing as Islamization.

That's arrant nonsense.

Who are those affected by Islamization?

Where are those that have been so far islamized?

Robisky001:
This one is seeking for relevance under Bubu Administration. The Islamization of the country is in full swing. It's only the undiscerning minds that will say otherwise.

Islamization.....whatever that means.

This only exists on petty minds.

Do you even know what it takes to give religious status to a country?

EagleNest:
I guess I am talking to the wrong person. A paid agent who has his job cut out - to paint Buhari as Spirit and not human being with his failures. I am out!

Why would you not run?

I doubt that you know any policy or program of this administration.

If you do, let's discuss substance then, and quit dwelling on baises, hearsay and emotions.

EagleNest:
What more do you want me to say that I have not said. Of course we will not agree on this because of our different views but using the word paranoid I think is unnecessary and unfounded. I am speaking as I feel and as a citizen. I ain't representing any interest. I voted him in first term irrespective of friends and colleagues view about him. And as it turns out, they were right and I'm wrong. He wasn't the messiah I was hoping. And if no lesson(s) was learnt at all on first term then

Like I said before, let's wait and see...12th June ba! It is around the corner.

I said you are paranoid and you claim it is unfounded.

Oga, while you are entitled to feel a particular way, you must not miscontrue that for national feeling or reality.

No one asked if you or your friends voted or did not vote for President Buhari in any elections. Again, the self-confession that you did not vote for President Buhari in the last election buttresses my claim of paranoia. Why do people choose not to vote certain candidates in an election? Is it not for them to loose in the said election, and for the candidates they voted to win?

This is simple logic! We must learn to move on after elections as a people. That you feel you made a wrong decision voting President Buhari in 2015 or that you believe your friends were right in not voting him means nothing at all, but paranoia.

Posterity will judge President Buhari by his policies and programmes, and not by human biases, which are never ending and incurable.

Can you make a list of President Buhari policies and programmes that you feel are inimical to Nigeria's collective interests for objectivity?

EagleNest:
My friend, reality is not hidden except one chooses not to see, which is equally legit. Government should not be too defensive when criticised but should pick things along even as it debates, just for the good of all.

Government I understand should be for all. Sometimes spectators see more than the players and because all of us cannot play at the same time it behoves of wise players to listen so that they can win.

Let's see what surprises will come on 12 June.

You don't seem to have anything more to say.

How is the government not being for all or defensive? Abeg, stop being unnecessarily paranoid.

The president not making a speech on his inauguration should be a national concern??.....that doesn't make any sense to me at all.

He will do so on Democracy day. I hope that will make you feel good.

EagleNest:
Good speech from you but the reality is opposite.
For me I see no hard thing for the president to speak to his people on 29th May and as well on 12th June. But we'll wait and see. Someday we will taste leadership and we will all feel it.

Reality isn't what you choose to see.

There are critical completed and ongoing projects across the length and breadth of the country. I travel a lot and see them. No one can tell me otherwise.

There was no need for any speech on the inauguration day. As for good leadership, the one we have now is good leadership. Fact is, with human leadership, it can never be perfect. Everyone has a role to play.

EagleNest:
Sounds like the President speaking to his people is now such a very difficult task. He hardly speak to us anyway but on such important occasions it is expected. Forget about the NTA charade, you know it hints about something not being right but do we care anymore.

If it is really hard for him, well we'll wait till 12th June but...

I do not see any necessity for him to speak when it's been made public that the main events marking his inauguration have been merged with programmes marking the nation's Democracy day celebration, which comes up in less than two week from now.

What we need are infrastructural projects across the length and breadth of the country; improved security and enhanced business climate in view of expanding investments and job creation, which are what we are witnessing already, while asking for more.

We want a president that 'does' not one that 'speaks'. What would you (not us) rather have the president say?

Ebeano49:
Please read Cambrige's Paul Anber's Modernisation and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos published in 1967. He's not Igbo or Nigerian so presents, i hope you'd agree, an unbiased assessment of Nigeria's status quo pre war.

This extract summarises my point: “With unparalleled rapidity, the Ibos advanced fastest in the shortest period of time of all Nigeria’s ethnic groups. Like the Jews to which they have frequently been likened, they progressed despite being a minority in the country, filling the ranks of the nation’s educated, prosperous upper classes… It was not long before the educational and economic progress of the Ibos led to their becoming the major sources of administrators, technicians, and civil servants for the country, occupying senior positions out of proportion to their numbers.”

Have a great day, brother.

I think you have a problem with comprehension.

Where did the man you quoted say that Igbos were at the helm of 'all the sectors' in Nigeria.

He emphasized Public Administration, Civil Service and Technical Expertise. How about the Arts, Agriculture, Politics, Media, Journalism, Literature, Finance, Military etc.

How does 'advancing rapidly ahead of all ethnic groups' mean the same thing as 'being at the helm of all sectors' in Nigeria?

I am Igbo too, and my point is simple. I do not subscribe to any tribe's claim of superiority over the other(s). You can't be better than others in all ramifications. There is something called comparative advantage.

I really don't know why this is hard for you to understand.

EagleNest:
What a president. I never see this kind one before... Na this conference important pass talking to Nigeria on the day of your inauguration. Why does he feel like he can do as he likes or am I missing something.

He is not inspiring at all. I thought he learnt one or two things from his first tenure

Please quit being a mediocre.

The president granted an interview on NTA few days before his inauguration. Besides, the main events marking the inauguration have been moved to the Democracy day on June 12.

What is so difficult there for anyone to understand?

Ebeano49:
With due respect sir, you are a very poor student of history. At independence, Ndi Igbo were at the helm of EVERY facet of the Nigerian society. From education (we actually produced VCs and SU presidents of most Nigerian universities then) to commerce. From military to civil service. Engineering to medicine. Ndi Igbo were at the top. We occupied high echelons of civil service even in the core north. That's where the resentent started.

This comment of yours "Our country is awakening herself to the dynamism of nationhood, which rests more on the inclusiveness of negotiations, partnerships, common good and sustenance than on ethnicity and other biases that bear no real significance in our national project." is so detached from reality and manifestly false that I'm not going to dignify it by responding.

I am not surprised that you want to argue.

It is laughable that you want me to agree to the falsehood that Igbos were at the helm of all the sectors in Nigeria at independence.

Which political party was the most dominant in Nigeria as at independence? Who was the most influential politician in Nigeria in the first republic? There were just three or four brigadiers in the entire Nigerian army between '60 and '64, were they all Igbos? Agriculture was the mainstay of Nigeria's economy, did Ndigbo lead in Agriculture too?

Please, be specific about how Igbos led in Medicine and Engineering. Were the first indigenous doctor and engineer in Nigeria Igbos? Are the sectors you pinpointed the only ones in Nigeria? What about the arts, construction, music, literature, law, politics etc?

Is not everything your dad or uncle tells you that you believe my brother. You should do some good research.

Okuda:
thats with the oppression. now imagine them withoit the marginalization.

Whether you call it oppression or marginalization...they are both vague. In what way, in simple clear English, have Igbos been marginalized?

Ebeano49:
By 1967 Igbos were above the rest of Nigeria in every thing. Then the war happened and Ndi Igbo were criminally and systematically reduced to nothing and dispossessed of their livelihoods. But then, 48 short years later, Ndi Igbo are back again at the top. It says alot about our indomitable spirit.

Oga, the Igbos couldn't have been above all the other ethnic groups in everything...perhaps in a few sectors but certainly not in every sector. I am not just Igbo, I am also a good student of history.

However you look at it, every ethnic group in Nigeria has evolved in the last 50 years, and a whole lot of these tribes, including those hitherto regarded as minorities, have proven their mettle in key sectors of the Nigerian economy.

Our country is awakening herself to the dynamism of nationhood, which rests more on the inclusiveness of negotiations, partnerships, common good and sustenance than on ethnicity and other biases that bear no real significance in our national project.

What harsh times we live in..

What an assessment!

Nor be for this same harsh economic times the man go dey live for duplex?

We are always very quick to blame others for our shortcomings.

He's looking super clueless even back then.

What have you achieved with your numerous 'clues'?

Atiku79:
The inauguration exercise today at the Eagle square is NULL AND VOID. It can't stand with a stolen mandate.
The supreme court will rewrite the many wrongs of INEC

Fellow Nigerians rejoice and be exceedingly glad.

ATIKU IS COMING, ATIKU IS HERE!!! !!!!!!!!

Lol.

Atiku is coming to preside over you and your village people.

Anyway, I no say na joke u dey. I dey joke too.

delugajackson:
But we were meant to believe that IPOB are trouble-makers and terrorists. I don't understand why this peaceful sit-at-home order suddenly becomes a threat. The Easterners have for so long been the most neglected, under-rated and under-appreciated region in this country. The Federal government needs to openly apologize to the entire Igbo race for the 1967 progrom which witnessed the massacre of innocent women and children.

Have you ever wondered why History as a subject is no longer taught in our schools? It is to conceal the numerous atrocities of the Nigerian government during the war. But for how long will they hide the truth? Very soon, the voices of the oppressed will be heared and the politicians and power-brokers will have no other choice than to scamper for safety when the drums and shouts of revolution will be brought to their door-steps. The country will one day be rescued from the hands of the wicked ones who have for so long held us hostage in this contraption. One day, we will be free.

That's why no one wishes for a war...'cos atrocities happen on both sides.

As for oppressing the igbos, that's a figment of your imagination because igbo remains, unarguably, one of the most successful ethnic groups in the country.

SLAP44:
Obasanjo with the respectable incoming vice president, a humble man who has the brains to turn Nigeria into a super wealthy country.

Have you met and chatted with Obi before?

I don't see any brains anywhere abeg.

I am not surprised to see Nigeria's most fraudulent bank, UBA, in the list.

UBA is Africa's 'thieving' bank.

rkennyking:
what you have in your firm is maximum decorum and see how everyone focus and business runs well. Religion is a personal thing. Do it at your home , your place of worship. Do you know some Christian hate the site of white garment churches, likewise sunni Muslims and shite don flow. This things are our differences we should try as Much as possible to limit the way we bring it to surface

You are very right.

GeoAfrikana:
Didn't she know the code before accepting the job?

It's only in Nigeria, Kenya and some other barbaric African countries that people will be constituting public nuisance in the name of religion.

For example, they get to government office in the morning and start chanting religious songs in congregation. In fact thry turn the office to a mini-worship place for the next 15-30mins. Time that the government pays them for because it believes that they are already working.

it's normal, as a religious person, for you to pray before leaving your home or on getting to work. But you can simply do that silently and personally. Did God tell you that he won't accept your prayers until you shout, constitute nuisance and violate people's privacy?

And come to think of it, missionary hospitals outnumber government hospitals in many parts of the country. If these claims of miracle were true they shouldn't have had any need to build those hospitals.

I think she deserves it. Yes she does. Good for her, and a lesson to others.

My brother, I left my last job because of this. Everyone was forced to pray for long durations in the mornings. Vigils were conducted at the company's premises once a month. Muslim staff among us were compelled to join or be sacked. Our boss was an overzealous member of MFM.

As a new management staff, I could not take such barbarism and total disrespect for the beliefs of others, hence I walked away.

It's been over 5 years now and I run my own firm. In my organization, office prayer is strongly discouraged. Staff are encouraged to keep their religious beliefs private and within the prescints of their places of worship.

kaen1317:
Sacked by man but applauded by God.

Oga, stop that!

The professsion has a code and she breached that.

We have to be objective. That's the reason many of us remain blinded by religion.

Is going to a hospital to get cure for an ailment a sin?
