Ooni:Funny post. You should not care if they laugh at you. Make your mistakes yourself (life comes with that) learn from them, then take corrective actions. Fearing for one's life(is a valid reason to stay in doors. But if it is that Igbos will laugh at you, that is not a valid reason not to protest at all. Reason should be part of your reasoning process (even if some of of it can come from anywhere, including igbos). Igbos on the other hand, may not be a part of your reasoning process |
When his organisation transferred him to some more remote church branch to work, after meddling with politics, his people acted like he was being persecuted. I knew (or at least, believed) his church was just trying to shield him away from poltics and it had become necessary. Now that the PMB adminstration has performed so far below expectations, that a planned nationwide protest is currently being brewed, I wonder how Rev. Mbaka would cope if he was still easy-to-access by jouralists. I wonder what he has to say about the developments in our country and the direction in which the candidate he endorsed for 2015 is taking the country. |
FeloniousFelon:What if his attention gets drawn to NGR and he is impulsed to do something that affects everyone in the country. |
[color=#FFF]The northerners are now looking like Igbos in some respects. Even worse sometimes. Bad[/color] |
Many of us have respected the north for a long time but the reason I say firmly that a Buhari is presidency is bad for the north is that he seems to be eroding almost all of the respect we used to have for the north. We know that there are many cerebral leaders from the North. Even IBB that lots of people do not like, had a clear mind. Immediately after the 2011 elections, I planned to vote in 2015 for Ibrahim Shekarau, former governor of Kano state. I did not vote a Northerner in 2015 because I saw the horror in the leadership error being promoted into power by a coalition of politicians from across the country. Buhari is bad for the north because those that do not like the north now will end up (as they are even trying to do now) painting every Northern leader with the same Brush of the leadership failure characterized by the Buhari administration. Has Buhari's leadership been perceived by the majority as failed? Yes. Are all northern leaders like him? No This is why I say he is bad for the north - he is drawing to them a bad name. |
reyscrub:You don't understand. GEJ is not their kinsman. If he really was igbo, don't you know the things they would have done would have been extreme? In the first place, all over Nigeria, from the north to the south, we would never stop hearing them tell the rest of us how they are better and smarter than us all. Their story would be that they are so smart that they are ruling us in our own country. Their ego's craving to be associated with power (the presidency ) is so ravenous that they made every possible and imaginable case for the idea that the ijaw riverine people of the south south are somehow one with them, a people they have always accused of being saboteurs for supporting the Nigerian army during the Biafran war, and a people who they have had a derogatory name for for generations. GEJ was their man just as much as much as Donald Trump is their man who will take actions to ensure the emergence of Biafra during his time as president. |
VICTORCIZA:Please go n drink some cold water. Do you think our brains are set like yours? So you think any people are following you in your embarrassing misdemeanours. Jonathan lost and you cried more than us the berieved. If we didn't join in the folly of your agitation then, how have you not known by now that you're on your own? Who do you think places any value on your sense of judgment? |
bantudra:Okay. But I hope that is a typo, "I didn't really meant him per se..." |
bantudra:If we had said that in 2015, would we have voted for CHANGE not knowing how it would end? Now that it has turned sour (after clamouring with vigour for CHANGE) you say you would rather stick with what has gone sour on you? What kind of picture do you think you are painting of yourself (having emotively voted for CHANGE in the first place) |
ayindejimmy:Look it was not about the party, but the man that would lead the party. In 2011, I planned not to vote GEJ in 2015 but when I saw the enormousity of the error of the proposed alternative, I had to support GEJ fully. I am a south-south guy. Your sense of judgement was very poor and 2015 showed me one thing - I did not know just how terrible we were intellectually. Have we not always selected the best of the lot (and sometimes the best of the worst) in choosing our leaders? Haven't we done this knowing that most of them have their hands stained one way or the other? If the APC had put of Fashola, would the chemistry of the executive (the govt and the nation at large) be the way it is? Was one of the things they said during and after the campaign not that when the head is a certain way, everyone would follow suit because he is that way? I know Nigerians consider it one of the most unbearable disgraces to admit in anyway that they were wrong (especially when they are the glare of being wrong starts to shine so bright) some comments like that of yours is to cover up that feeling of shame or embarrassment but we all know that the chemistry of almost everything in our country changed immediately the man at the top changed - just as it was promised - and now that we see the change is terribly undesireable, the one definite way to change this change is to change the effector(s) of this change. |
bantudra:Me I am not Ibo but I see that the guy didn't insult you. Can you point out where he did? |
illuminated93:I still feel the need to say here that if Pat Utomi is pained, it is not the self-serving kind of pain that you might find with within the reanks of personlities like Dino Melaye, Rotimi Amaechi, etc, etc on account of the fact that Utomi is a different politician. I think there is too much noble about his grouse although he is the architect of it. Some politicians are professional politicians while others are professionals in politics, and therein lies the difference. Professor Utomi is a successful professional who played a role in politics |
How come the Kaduna state governor can locate the herdsmen to give them money in order to appease them so they stop the killing, but cannot locate them in order to arrest them during or after the mass killing? [color=#FFF]I won't mind if you ask this same question on your social media pages[/color] |
[quote author=Love Machine post=53091778][/quote]so he actually said this? www.nairaland.com/attachments/4780908_images_jpeg68d5535b971d558f594f10a5affd0a71 |

madridguy:See problem o! These igbos have succeeded in making you believe Jonathan is Igbo. If Jonathan was igbo don't you know the rest of us would not be able to hear or say anything from 2011 till 2015? Igbos would have been "See? We are the wisest. Na we dey rule them for their own land (Nigeria)." No one from Jonathan's part of the country was saying that. Ijaws only hoped he would still be liked and enjoy the support of the people. I believe there is no other ethnic group in Nigeria that will uncouthly say "you are foolish and we are wise and that is why we are in power" (apart from igbos) if one of them is gets in power at such a top level. I believe that is why Obasanjo never picked any of them to be running mate to Yar' Asia |
nonsobaba:I was schooling in umuahia when inhabitants of Umuahia and Aba were killing northerners in response to the killings up north. I travelled home to port-harcourt and before entering port-harcourt, every commercial bus and car was searched to ensure that the killers killing northerners in Aba do not bring their killing into port harcourt. That is just how vividly different we are from our igbo neighbours. It is still in the spirit of tolerance for freedom of expression that these rallies are allowed to go on (silly as they are) in our state, which by the way, has been mutli-ethnic from way back and has historically had no time for the kind of ethnic bigotry displayed by many others who come from one-tribe states. The rivers people (ekpeyes, andonis, ogonis, kalabaris, okrikas, ibanis, ikweres, etc) have only agreed amongst themselves once again, today, how genuinely silly these igbos are. |
deji15:My dear, and they don't even know Just take a look at this: https://www.nairaland.com/3583569/trump-solidarity-rally-pro-biafra-agitators |
Ioannes:What I am saying is that the suggestion that our grass and forages are not nutritious enough is so nonsensical that the only wonder is why this is not 1960, with some one-eyed educated politician fraudulent spilling gabbage to the largely blind populace. Please, let me help you understand the grossness of the stupid idea and why it feels just too difficult for one too bear. Firstly, the approximate nutrient content of every herb, grass or forage identified as being able to serve as food for farm animals is known and properly documented. The process for determining nutrient content is called PROXIMATE ANALYSIS. Do you know the nutrient composition of our legumes and grasses as compared to those found elsewhere? Do you know what makes them high in nutrients and what may make then not so rich in nutrients? If we assume some factors are affecting our grasses so they are not as nutritious as they should be, so the solution is to import the grass right? Our rice production has not been up to par with that of many other countries worldwide and what did the fed govt do? It banned the importation of rice. It banned it because everybody knows that with improved cultural practices the rice (which we consume) will yield more. Now our healthy grasses are doing very well and someone comes up with the lie that they are not doing well and because they are not doing well, we should allocate millions upon million to import...? Now let me let you know that legumes are always rich in nutrients. It is in their nature to. As for grasses, when they are young, they are very nutritious. When they grow older, they lose their nutritive value but the fiber content does increase and fiber is also good for the animals. Grasses that grow among legumes can benefit from the legumes as the legumes provide a nice supply of nitrogen to the soil, which is good for other plants growing on the same soil. Genetically modified plants are looked down upon in the developed world. In fact, just about all of Europe has banned THE IMPORTATION of all genetically modified agric produce, and for good reason too. Beef from cattle that got feed genetically modified plants will not be spared the contamination and categorisation as GM product because genetically modified material was involved in making it. I know the govt and minister did not mention anything about GM grass and that is just your inclusion but it is good to make it clear that any kind of rigmarolling only brings us to the conclusion that the whole idea came from a profoundly stupid place that the rest of us still cannot identify or explain. There are only 2 options here: Either stupidity or fraud. |
Ioannes:We made silage for our cattle in the.federal univ of agriculture, umudike (Now renamed the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike). Forage diversity is higher in Nigeria than most countries in the world, and it seems the stupidity in the suggestion that the grasses and legumes that grow in Nigeria are not nutritious enough for the animals is not apparent to some. It still seems one of the most ridiculous things to be put forward in our polity. If there is a rationale for this, I have not yet seen it and I think it has not yet come to the fore. |

Ibrahimmrfish:If it is not a jihad, then it is a crime that seems to get the promised so called "no-nonsense" administration comatose when it comes to taking action. On the one hand the fg's capacity to think and act immediately becomes paralyzed in the face of these crimes. On the other, it is possible that there is a jihad within the jihad. In other words, the fulani sect of the northern population, who are here anyway by jihad, seek to widen their frontiers yet again and in mordern times, through the medieval way that they know - violence (a.k.a jihad) |
ceeethru:Who is the government employed to serve? |
three:... |
coolscott:Just putting this on the first page again |
woodcook:Please don't reply that guy again. I perceive he is half-baked. Are there any constructive activities to indicate to humans on the planet that the govt is taking the country out of recession? Have there been any such constructive recession-exiting activities in the past? What isn't fraudulent about raiding judges homes first, then asking them to step down based on evidence found in the raid but dining with and endorsing the secretary of the FG whose acts of public fund stealing did not need a midnight raid for it to come to the open? Remember that substantial money was found in the judges' home, whose source he should give account of. However, there's no mystery about the jar from which the millions diverted by Bachir came from. It came from money put aside for Nigerians displaced in the IDP camps. It is an insult to the collective intelligence of Nigerians, any kind of suggestion that this government has anything to do with anti-corruption |
jlinkd78:I disagree. Buhari is not only for a select few. He is for whom he pleases |
sirpatrick:If I find any constitutional path to ensuring Buhari doesn't come back after the one month is over, I will pursue it vigorously. The north can produce good leaders. Buhari is just a bad one bringing a bad name to northern leadership. |
I love my bank (GTBank) and I consider spending some time in the Republic of Benin. I want to know if anyone has any information about opening a GTBank account there. Any useful information will be appreciated. Thanks. |
solomonsojay:You seem to be almost always in the bank. How will our transaction work. You need to get someone to be counting your plenty money for you the way I am seeing it, so you can attend to New people you can help (like me). |
Ibrahim Shekarau and Sen Murray-Bruce. Actually, Ibrahim Shekarau and perhaps anyone else. |
Blue3k:It is actually not an "either... or..." situation. What soils/stains the administration in this is... [size=13pt]... does the confinement process require the confiscation of other people's lands for the confinement process to be complete?[/size] |
