There is just too much that disqualifies the current president of the nation from being believed to be choosing the path of complete integrity as they wanted us to believe.

I remember during the campaign last year, people said he was the only past Nigerian leader who did not have a house in Abuja. But it has come out that that was indeed false. I believe OBJ (I stand to be corrected) was one of the people who said that.

Politics › Re: North Supplied Most of Nigeria Electricity For Many Years Without Much Sabotage by coolscott(m): 3:28am On May 07, 2016
tuale4u:
We must not 4get the whole Nigeria once depend on Northern Nigeria for electricity. Before the installation of gas turbines in Nigeria, the whole country from south to north depend on Kanji dam for electricity for so many years. We didnt hear of sabotage of d dam.

Yes i know we niger deltan want resource control. But what dis millitants are doing is crime and not emancipation. They are evil and are against the progress of Niger delta people.


Niger Delta Avengers does not represent the interest of Niger Delta. The shallowness of Niger Delta Avengers is becoming alarming. The truth is dat the average Niger Deltan in d street dont neccessary support sabotage. And this so called millitant does not have the interest of Niger Delta people at heart.

They are just greedy bunch of selfish people who does not care about the overall interest of Niger Delta people.

South South states are loosing billions to lagos because of all this stupidity of a selected few among my people. Almost all d big oil companies have thier headquarter in lagos. Thus our states is losing cooperate tax to lagos.

Many ships dont agree to use warri and portharcourt sea port because of these saboteurs. This is because of high level kidnapping and sea pirates in d region. Most of the ships comming to Nigeria find it difficult to get insurance cover once thier destination is warri or portharcourt. This have futher slow the economy of Niger delta.

it is time our elders, traditional rulers come out bold to condemn d actions of this few saboteurs. i see no wisdom in sabotage and destruction of our ecosystem. We are being myopic, in another 40years when d oil production bcome very low, our people will suffer starvation. We are busy spilling oil on our land by ourselves. what a self destruction!!!
[size=13pt]What they are doing is bad but it seems to me all because the leader at the top has communicated inadvertently to the nation that he does not know how to steer the nation.

This is embarrassing to the authorities. If he had not twitted and put it on fb. If reporters had not started converging, they would not have withdrawn.

So in essence they knew what they were doing was silly and it would become worse with more mainstream media houses coming on board.

Politics › A Call For The Investigation Of The Source Of APC Campaign Funds by coolscott(op): 2:07am On May 07, 2016
[size=13pt]In the spirit of true transparency, equity and the pursuit of a corruption-free Nigeria, this thread is dedicated to a perpetual call to the administration to probe and investigate the source of APC's presidential campaign funds in last elections (2015).

We understand that not doing this places a permanent smear on the president's professed anti-corruption agenda and makes a clear mockery of it.

For posterity's sake, I will make a comment here everyday so that this post comes up to first page and we can be reminded to call the president to live up to his campaign promise of really killing corruption in Nigeria in order that it does not kill us.

This is our country and we have to draw attention to everything that will make our country better. I wanted change before the APC emerged but seeing the kind of people and the kind of change that they portended, I chose not to support them.

If there is something of better quality that we can benefit as a country by calling for investigations on both sides, then in the interest of sanity, in the true interest of our country, let us do so.

On the other hand, I strongly believe, these killinigs are not carried out by fulani herdmen.

Most ibos commit greater atrocities all over Nigeria , but you hardly hear of them because people are reasonable and once the offender is punished it's all over


but this crying and wailing and protesting attitude of yeebos is becoming unbecoming , haba


Once the news filters to the north , especially if the Fulani man burnt during the fracas is a prominent, popular and well known fulani , you should gear up for brutal reprisals in your own cities and in the north

That's how Nigerian civil /

BIAFRA IS DEAD AND BURIED. LIVE WITH IT
[size=13pt]I think the northerners are reviving it by this move (and they may just cause the SS and other entities to join in by their recent actions).

I think many others don't mind breaking off of Nigeria as long as it is not necessarily to form the entity called Biafra because they do not respect it.
Let some other group meet with Igbos and other stake holders to plant the seeds for a break off (which is not Biafra) and it will have better traction.

Others just don't feel Igbos qualify to lead them or that Ojukwu's movement was inspired by anything noble that they should associate themselves with. So yes. Biafra may be dead and buried but the break away is currently relentlessly being revived by the north.

Politics › Re: Aba Riots: A Wrong Move BY The Igbos by coolscott(m):
joborskill:
[b]As we pray for peace and the continued existence of our dear country Nigeria, some sections of the country needs to understand that violence is not the solution. The recent riot in Aba is a reference point in such cases. It was alleged (without proof) that an Hausa man stabbed an Igbo guy to death and immediately the IGBOS resorted to reprisals. It is so unfortunate that the easterners could react in such a brutal manner. Why can't you arrest the Hausa man and hand him over to the police? Two wrongs will never make a right. How can you kill in order to avenge the death of another? Southerners generally are known to be peaceful either SW/SS or SE. We should not be tempted to act like animals who don't value lives all because of retaliation and jungle justice. The IGBOS should remember they are the most travelled tribe and they have more IGBOS up north than Hausa/fulanis in the SE. The actions in Aba could put the IGBOS in the north in trouble if the northerners decides to retaliate. The north has been known for their aggressive approach to confrontations and in order to avoid a scenario of the civil war, I implore the IGBOS to embrace diplomacy and peace. No body has the monopoly of violence. The northerners and the herdsmen are Nigerians and they have the right to live and do their business in any part of the country. They should not be stigmatised because of the attitudes of a few bad eggs amongst them. The recent Aba clashes is a result of the staunch hatred and bile Nnamdi Kanu preached on radio Biafra. He poisoned the minds of millions of IGBOS and made them un patriotic. He called for the death of Yoruba and Hausa fulanis and the results is the clashes we have today. This is why people like Nnamdi Kanu does not deserve freedom. He is a threat to national security. The solutions to this incessant clashes is to support the grazing bill so the federal government can create grazing reserves for the fulanis in every state of the country. Even the governor of Ebonyi state agreed that the grazing bill is the only path to peaceful coexistence. The IGBOS need to learn from Yorubas peaceful nature. This is why the SW is the most peaceful region in the country. Yorubas are slow to anger no matter the level of provocation. It's not cowardice but diplomacy. I will not support the killing of anyone in any form. We must respect the sanctity of life and stop acting like animals. Until the IGBOS begin to see Nigeria as their home and forget the evil thought of Biafra, they will keep seeing others as enemies especially the northerners. Lord luggard saw a great potential in our diversity before merging us. Let's works together to make Nigeria great. Say no to senseless killings. Btw I'm Yoruba and just making #commonsense cool[/b]

[size=13pt]I see that you are not qualified to talk about this thing because in 2000, there were reprisal attacks in Aba and Umuahia. I was there. It seems many people are not informed in Nigeria. I am anti-Biafra from south-south but who deceived you that when Fulani attack Igbo communities, they will not attack back?

Back then in 2000 (or was it 2001) Aba and Umuahia residents killed any northerner they could see because of the killings of Igbos in riots in the north as a warning and to revenge.

So who misguided you that this foolish thing perpetrated by the killers in Enugu would make them more welcoming or tolerant of you? Who informed you? Who ever informed you so, you have to hold him responsible for every northerner that an Igbo person will kill. I say will kill here because in my heart I may not want them to kill any more, but I know it is more likely that there will be more reprisal killings.

And when you say the only solution is the grazing bill, you have just issued a licence for a few more thousand killings. That is the way the igbos feel.

It also shows you probably are not Yoruba and chances are huge that you are a northerner.

ShowYourCertificate:
Buhari has always been a scam all along. His WAEC certificate is a scam. His economic policies is a scam. His campaign promises is a scam. His assets declaration is a scam. Nigerians are becoming wiser now. The dullard/zombie effect of the APC is losing its grip on gullible Nigerians. Even some of the zombies has started wailing.

I've never seen a man so full of contradiction like Buhari. And some zombies will believe him when he says he's a man of integrity. Integrity my foot! He's so full of double standards. He criticised Obasanjo for touring the world but has outperformed Obasanjo in the Ajala business. He said there's nothing like fuel subsidy but is still paying fuel subsidy. He said he will diversify the economy and make the country less reliant on oil but is busy exploring for oil in the North. He claims he belongs to nobody and everybody but in an interview said he will concentrate on the 97% that voted him to the detriment of the 5% that didn't. Most of his core appointments have been from the North. Haven't you realised that it is during Buhari’s current govt that ethnic and religious crises have been on a rise? The shiites massacre, the Agatu killings, the Mile 12 Hause/Yoruba clash, the Enugu attack and the recent Aba riot. This is simply because Buhari is a tribalist and never a nationalist. He's the king in the north! He's not the true king of a united Nigeria.

Politics › Re: Enugu Killers Were Fulani Herdsmen - Police by coolscott(m): 1:23pm On May 02, 2016
fiizznation:
Suspected herdsmen!!! Now the question is; why would any "herdsmen" just wake up one morning and start killing innocent people indiscriminately even without any provocation? From this report, one can clearly see that the herdsmen and the community have never had any clash, no herdsmen/farmers clash was ever reported. I googled and studied the demography of that nimba uzo community yesterday, and I couldn't even see any place were a single cow can graze. The grasses over their were not the type of grass the average Fulani cattle will eat.

Anyway after I did my little research, I sent my work to the appropriate person. Like I always said, this "invincible herdsmen" story must be unveiled. And the truth will speak at last.


MODIFIED*


Just like I anticipated. No proof whatsoever but everyone has resorted to insults. Someone even said that he just passed some Fulani herdsmen in Enugu. I mean the same Enugu that many people came here to tell anybody that cares to listen that "all Fulani herdsmen" have abdicated some few days ago. Why are people contradicting themselves for goodness sake?

Anyway why did the moderator changed the real heading of this thread? Very funny. Initially I thought some logical minds will counter my claims, but I guess I underestimated the thinking and reasoning capacity of some people. Fulani herdsmen might have committed one atrocious act or another in the past, but this latest claim that Fulani herdsmen ransacked nimba community is what I will never believe until I'm shown concrete evidence. But for the meantime, whatever anybody say is just hearsay and I will never take such reports any serious. Fulani herdsmen are not invincible for crying out loud. I'm sorry if I didn't sound like the average typical Nigerian to you people, but facts{thats if there's any}shouldnt be fictionalized
[size=14pt]The reason why they are suspected herdsmen of course is because they are identified as northerners. Whether they actually own cows or not may be another issue. But if they are not herdsmen but just northerners, that makes the situation very much worse.[/size]
Politics › The Fulanis Must Be Allowed To Graze Anywhere In Nigeria by coolscott(op): 1:51am On May 02, 2016
[size=13pt]On these few conditions

1) Those behind the Agatu and Enugu killings are brought to book

2) Every Fulani herdsman that tires to kill or succeeds in killing anyone is punished and brought to book by the provisions of the law


3) Every herdsman is made to pay a fine for damages done on any farmer's crops by their cattle


4) Now this is important... The forces explain (and without lying) why exactly they chose deceive the governor telling him how they had deployed troops but instead did nothing and had one big zero set of troops on ground and bring the full weight of the law on the officers involved for being accessories to murder. These people are:

1)Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Olufemi Akinjobi who normally represents the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division Nigerian Army;

2)The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Nwodibo Ekechukwu;

3)The State Director of Department State Security Services (DSS), Mr. M. Abdul Malik;

4)The State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Mr. Lar Stephen;

5) Representatives of the Nigerian Air force


These are the words of the Enugu State governor:

“In the meeting, we received assurances from the Commissioner of Police that the Area Commander of SARS was on ground in Nimbo. That the Anti-Terrorism Unit was at Nimbo. That he was in contact with the Kogi State Commissioner of Police and reported suspected herdsmen grouping at Odolu in Kogi State preparatory for an attack on Nimbo and Abbi communities. That Police mobile force and conventional police were already drafted to Nimbo and Abbi communities. That he was in touch with the Area Commander, Idah, ACP Ikegwuonwu and had linked him with the Area Commander, Nsukka, ACP Monday Kuryas. Both men according to the CP reported that there were no traces of suspected herdsmen in Nsukka or Idah.

“That he ordered the Area Commander, Nsukka to redeploy to Nimbo. That the Garrison Commander on his part assured the meeting that Military was already deployed to Nimbo. Let me state that the State Government provided logistics for these deployments. After receiving these assurances of deployments to Nimbo, I felt quite confident that we had done everything possible to forestall an attack on Nimbo.”

“I have deliberately narrated what transpired at the Security Council meeting fully conscious of the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution pertaining to my oath of office. I am doing this in due discharge of my duties as Governor.


If the above-mentioned people are tried and brought to book for their played roles in the unfolding of the massacre, and conditions 1-3 are met, only then we can return back to the status quo of finding a way to accommodate nomad herders who may pass in search of grass for their cattle. Until then, their bad behaviour has earned them a red card from the hosts whom they expect to be hospitable to the man who butchers his wife and kids
[/size]
By the way, federal Road Safety Corps and Nigerian Prison Services, State Traditional Rulers Council and the Attorney General of the State were present in that State Security Council meeting in which the governor was deceived. Bringing security officers to book is also part of the anti-corruption era in which we are right now. Some officers have already been punished for the roles they are alleged to have played in certain elections last year

Politics › Re: No One Can Stop Us From Grazing In The South — Fulani Herdsmen by coolscott(m):
omenka:
When you set emotions aside and think this through and through, you'd see some sense in it.

ALL LANDS in the country belongs to the government according to the Land Use Act and the constitution guarantees freedom of movement.

Nomads move around to graze their cattle, selling some where possible, while other people equally dispersed across every nook and cranny of the country sell clothes, vehicular spare parts and other such commercial activities. I don't see anyone calling for a ban on such activities.

What we should be bothered about is mitigating clashes between herdsmen and their host communities by way of ensuring they don't graze on cultivated fields.
That is the angle I think the government should be looking at working on, perhaps they could ensure noticeable barriers are created so when these herdsmen see them, they know "this is a restricted area" and trespassers would be duly punished.

There are some people inflaming the whole situation just because of the occupant of Aso Rock- taint the Fulanis and you essentially have tainted the president. What better campaign tool would there be for a party known for extreme ethnoreligious politicking, PDP, in 2019 than "Buhari is a Fulani man and his brothers are killers. Look at what they have done. Would you want to have them come back and kill the rest of you??" That is where I think this whole drama is headed.

As usual, I expect a lot of overly emotional kids to do nothing but insult me over my opinion, but hell, it wouldn't change nada.

On the other thread where they did the same, I wondered, the same people who wanted to bury Buhari alive when it was alleged he said "Nigerians are criminals", claiming (and rightly so) NOT ALL Nigerians are (Baba didn't say Nigerians are though but only listed some crimes we engage in abroad which give the country a bad image), are the people crucifying the Northern governors for saying essentially NOT ALL Fulanis are criminals!!

How the heck does one adopt two different opinions on these two (exactly similar) scenarios??
[size=14pt]They have complete freedom of movement but do they have any freedom to kill and rape other people's wives and daughters and burn their houses? If it is the need for grazing of their cattle that causes them to kill people when they visit other people's territories, those people are saying that they are no longer welcome with their cattle.

I think that is clearly understood. Nobody is calling for all meshai's, mayguards, etc to leave the south. We have simply correctly identified the ones that cannot be welcomed here - the cattle rearers.

It is also remarkable that instead of offering any kind of apology for the crimes committed by their kind, they say nobody can stop them.

If this is not some expansionist thing being deliberately done, is the natural response not "we apologise and let us work together to catch/prevent the culprits"?

When there was a bomb blast in Owerri, it was the northern community themselves that came together and said they must acquire for themselves identity cards so that any strange person in their midst would be identified.

About people "inflaming the whole situation" I think it is actually inflaming that you think the reaction of the public is more inflaming than the actual killing, and raping of other people's wives and daughters mindlessly, and it is these kinds of remarks that drain any kind of credibility from the position of any Fulani sympathizer even if their are areas in which they should be sympathized with.[/size]

And the following is why I believe they are directly or indirectly behind this:

In this so called anti-corruption era, not one call was made to arrest these people.

No alarm bells went off over their possession of guns and ammunition.

As far as everyone (i.e every northern senator, governor and even the president) was concerned

everything was alright except that if we want to stop the problem,

we should allow the government to choose and sieze lands they deem fit

in all the 36 states to be reserved for the Fulani herdsmen.

They say from one side of their mouths that the Killers are not the herdsmen,

and from the other, they say if the herdsmen have these lands (i.e. if they have our lands) then they will not kill again. Are these the kind of people we should respect?

If the Fulani have been the ones doing the killing, should the response of the authorities be that we reward them with our lands?

If the Fulani have not been the ones doing the killing, how will giving the Fulanis our lands stop the killers from killing?

[size=13pt] Point number2:
[color=#000000]I actually watched a video of Buhari in front of a h-u-g-e mob of club-carrying northern youths in a 2011 election rally. In that rally, he was telling the frenzied crowd to attack anyone who tried to steal/divert their votes. It seemed everyone in the crowd had a club or cudgel. Buhari himself had a cudgel in his hand which he thrusted in the air.

I said to myself, "In Africa, the elders we respect and we truly consider elders are the ones who when there is trouble, look for a way to bring an end to it from a position superior to the squabble. This man is an old man and this is what he is doing. I don't think he deserves in any way to be a leader here".

But surprisingly, this is the man they all rallied around. A northerner in the south told me that even if Buhari was a corpse they would vote for him. In the south, we have so many things that are wrong. But when a scallywag like Amaechi tries to scallywag himself into relevance, we are able to tell ourselves the truth that he is a scallywag and up till today, Amaechi does not have the endorsement of the very state he governed for 8 years.

Even Odilli that Rivers people praised knowing he was a crook just because they were going to govt. house to collect money, we still tell ourselves the truth about him - which is that he was a crook and a tragedy to the state. Even Odilli himself has accepted that he no more has a political career.

I thought northerners had some deep sense of philosophy that made them arrive at logical decisions better than many ethnic groups in the south. But now my eyes are opening to see that they really do not know what they are doing.

Herdsmen were defiling other people's daughters.

All through the kidnapping and maiming and killing, the northern governors did not hold a meeting to arrest the problem.

All through the period they did not come out to put pressure on the forces to apprehend the killers.

When people start coming out complaining about their people being killed
being, kidnapped
being raped,

They hold a northern governors forum meeting and say it is an insult for us to call the killers herdsmen.

Don't they think they have insulted themselves in the eyes of the rest of the country in a hard-to-reverse way?

Don't they know they have helped most of the rest of the country to acquire a genuine conviction that they are actually close to being moronic?

Whose responsibility is it to clean up their act if the rest of the country is complaining of Fulani killings? Is it Yoruba? Or Tivi? Or Itsekiri? Does the onions not fall on the Fulanis to clean up their act?

Now the northern governors say it is an insult for us to label Fulani as killers.
It is an insult for them to attempt to insult our intelligence that way.
If the Fulani are so bothered about this reputation they are duly earning now,
whose responsibility is it to mop up their act?

If Nigerians want to stop being seen as corrupt by the rest of the world,
with whom does the responsibility lie when it comes to cleaning up our act here in Nigeria.

Declare it is an insult all you want, the truth is if you do not fish out the killers,
If you do not stop them,
If you don't think they should be punished,
If you did not have a press release to speak when they killed innocent people, but organize a meeting now and press release when Nigerians react,
If you did absolutely nothing when others were dying...

You should keep those words to yourself because we do not consider them worthy of our attention.

Face your life, Stop hating and go and sit down.

Fela was a legend

Tupac was a legend.

Can you sing all the songs from Fela or Tupac to your parent ?

Whatever he sings pays his bill. You should be the one asking yourself if you have eaten.

You are beefing your younger brother's mate. Shameless !!
Nonsense !!!!!!
I am only concerned about how unintelligent songs are making our populace less intelligent. Wizkid is only an example cited here. Maybe you are used to people who hate or you like to imagine pple are hating on you (or those you extol) but I simply reversed the question so it fits almost anyone.

"Can your children sing it in front of you?" or "Or would you like your younger bro to teach your children the song?"

This goes for Banky W's songs, PSquare's songs, in fact every singer's songs. You are not to give anybody the answer to these questions. You are only supposed to answer it to yourself in your heart, and tell yourself the truth and let that truth set you free.

These questions, do not necessarily require that you reply with a "yes" or a "no" answer
Politics › Re: Fulani Herdsmen Flee Enugu by coolscott(m): 9:22pm On Apr 30, 2016
The herdsmen had evacuated their cattle from Adani in Uzo Uwani and other parts of the state before the Monday’s attack, which led to the untimely death of over 6 people including a school teacher from Enugu Ezike, Igbo Eze North Local Government, residing in the area.
That is perhaps the thing that stuck out the most to me about the article.

These evacuations happen in Umuaha and Aba whenever such tensions arise because the northerners are aware the populace can get angry and mobs can attack in retaliation. But the Fulan's had evacuated their cows before this attack happened which suggests that they perhaps knew what was coming
