zimoni:[size=13pt]You don't even know what you are saying in most of your post. Who gave you the idea that South-southerners ever had oneness of purpose with Igbos? If a Westerner decides to run for office and for some reason igbos feel it is right to give you their support, will you open your mouth and drive them away? Ijaws and south-southerners did the right thing. They just saw the Igbos supporting them in the name of increasing the likelihood of an igbo presidency in 2019 and so we did the expected. We shut up. Now Jonathan is no more there and they want to call us igbos (just the same way they said lagos is no mans land in order to further claim development of it) so of course we speak and shut them up. Simple As for tonyebarcanista, he does an excellent job of sticking as much to objectivity as possible plus researching so anyone will be proud to have him do such a good job for them. Have you found anyone else write like him here? We are glad to have him do the job he is doing here [/size] |
TonyeBarcanista:[size=13pt]When you see replies like this you know your write up hit home, causing the individual so much pain that he tries to inflict back some of the pain you are unaware he has suffered from the biting truth of your post.[/size] |
I just discovered Dino Melaye has denied supporting the proposed social media bill. He did this on social media. I found out when looking at his rant response to sahara reporters on twitter Below is a link to his denial twit. https://twitter.com/dino_melaye/status/673491146702761984

Nashoji:[size=13pt]I don't believe this is the man behind the bill. He is only a front. The man does not look that tech savvy to be so bothered about social media. This looks like something being pushed by Dino Melaye et al, with a volunteer in the front[/size] |
Danfuster:[size=13pt]Then perhaps their agitation for Biafra is just a reflection of an innate kantankerous nature[/size] |
OAMMB:[size=13pt]But then again it might be true. That is why it is good to put it up here. Maybe someone will come up with more information corroborating or refuting the claim[/size] |
OAMMB:[size=13pt]Really, I think it should be investigated. Nigerians have been known to do this in the past but not on account of a president that dissapointed them. If this man really did this for the stated reason, then he must have really believed in the president, probably even loved him deeply.[/size] |
This man is said to have hanged himself over Buhari's failure. How true it is, we don't know http://www.thetrentonline.com/soundoff-as-buhari-trekker-commits-suicide-over-buharis-failures-in-office/

[size=13pt]Nigerians are no longer smiling, yet refused to complain but prefer to die having made the worst mistake of their lives in supporting the present Buhari government.http://www.thetrentonline.com/soundoff-as-buhari-trekker-commits-suicide-over-buharis-failures-in-office/ https://web.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=790087121101013&set=a.262348343874896.52537.100002991970814&type=3&theater

babamoha:[size=13pt]It is not the hand of the last govt O! If you live in this part of the south, you would know the igbos have had a funny way of reasoning for a very long time. It is only now coming to the fore on a national scale. Igbos are surrounded by other groups and they are the only ones who think like this. And really, they are on their own. Many of us will be happy if they can peacefully go and leave the rest of us alone but we know that will be had because their leaders don't want to secede but the youths who do not listen, go on to protest[/size] |
Abagworo:[size=13pt]One thing that is ominously wrong with your post, and which takes a lot of credit away from it, is your declaration of the IPOB protests as PDP-spurred. Much as I do not support the IPOB protests or accord it too much respect, I do not respect your post either. This noted error is too grave for one to take whatever you really want to say seriously, for we do not know where you may slip in intentional/unintentional errors here and there as you proceed in unfolding your texts.[/size] |
onoja12:Sorry but I see you dont really know what that expression means. There is always a first time to know about something. Sieze the opportunity. Find out what it means (by and for yourself). Have a nice day |
onoja12:Go and find out what it means to be living in a fool's paradise |
onoja12:The relevance is in the meaning - what it means when one is said to be living in a fool's paradise |
onoja12:Do you know what it means when they say someone is living in a fool's paradise? |

Zeedarh:[size=13pt]Queen Elizabeth is the queen. When it is a female heir next in line, they have a queen and there is no one above her. When there is a male heir, he is king and the woman he takes to wife can be queen. In queen Elizabeth's case, she is the boss and Muhammadu Buhari didn't have the liver to not shake her.[/size] |
cocoflakes:[size=13pt]The thing is he just could not disrespect her by refusing to shake, knowing fully well the political superiority of her office (a lifetime one, not even a tenured one). [/size] |
atarapa:[size=13pt]This is very funny. This is the first time I am ever suggesting that a topic should be on the front page. The irony and photo is worthy of it. Headline stuff ![]() Mentioning lalasticlala. Never thought I would but I am ![]() Hope it gets considered.[/size] |

omenka:[size=13pt]International financial and business news giant, Bloomberg, has expressed serious doubts on the ability of President Muhammad Buhari of Nigeria to turn around Africa’s largest economy and oil producer. In a scathing analysis of the over six months of Buhari in office, the news outlet concluded that the country was on a dangerous slide with investments at an all-time low, the stock market rated as the third-worst performing globally within the period, and growth projected to slow to a 16-year low of 3.3 percent. In an article, Buhari Bounce Becomes Bust As Nigeria Policies Annoy Investors, the group noted that stocks that soared as investors looked to the former military ruler to reverse decades of economic mismanagement and policy inertia, have all nosed dived and “Now hopes have fizzled in his ability to turn around Africa’s largest economy and oil producer. “Money that flowed into stocks and bonds in the West African nation, which McKinsey & Co. says could become one of the world’s 20 biggest economies by 2030, is now fleeing as growth prospects diminish along with oil prices. While Buhari, 72, has prioritized stamping out the graft that has plagued Nigeria since independence from Britain in 1960, policy-making appears as uncertain and haphazard as ever.” Quoting Ayodele Salami, who oversees about $ 500 million of African equities as chief investment officer of London-based Duet Asset Management Ltd., he said the initial euphoria has turned to disillusionment. Salami said, “After the initial euphoria, people have become disillusioned. He (Buhari) would probably say that he’s being deliberative and cautious. But we expected more.” Duet’s Africa fund has cut its investments in the country to about 24 percent of the total from 38 percent in the last year. According to Bloomberg, Buhari the hefty $5.2 billion fine levied on mobile-phone operator MTN Group Ltd. Are desperate moves to shore up government revenue outside plunging oil prices, warning that it could have dire consequences on the country’s economy. “The penalty imposed on MTN’s Nigeria unit last month for failing to register about 5 million subscribers may be an attempt to plug the hole in government finances, according to Cobus de Hart, an economist at NKC Independent Economists. “You cannot deny there might be a fiscal element to the massive fine,” he said by phone from Paarl, near Cape Town. “It will make investors a little bit more wary of investing in Nigeria.” On the stock exchange, it noted that “Nigeria’s benchmark stock index has plunged 22 percent since reaching a year-high on April 2, the day after Buhari was declared the winner of the presidential race against incumbent Goodluck Jonathan. That’s the third-worst performance globally in the period, after the bourses in Ukraine and Egypt. The index advanced 12.5 percent in the two days after Jonathan conceded.” It further observed that an even bigger concern for many investors is the authorities’ naira policy. The Central Bank of Nigeria, with Buhari’s backing, has burned through $4.3 billion of reserves this year and choked off supply of foreign exchange to banks and their customers to defend the naira, even as major oil exporters such as Russia and Colombia have let their currencies slide. The restrictions prompted JPMorgan Chase & Co. to remove Nigeria from its local-currency emerging-market bond indexes, tracked by more than $200 billion of funds, in September, triggering a selloff in the nations’ assets. While the naira has been all but fixed at about 198 to 199 per dollar since March, forward prices suggest it will drop by almost one-fifth, to 243.5, in a year. “The number-one issue is the exchange rate,” Andrew Howell, a Citigroup Inc. frontier markets strategist, said from Lagos. ”Access to foreign exchange is becoming a widespread problem.” Nigerian Breweries Plc, the nation’s biggest brewer that’s controlled by Heineken NV, said it takes two weeks to obtain dollars to pay for its imports, twice as long as it required a few months ago. Nestle SA’s Nigerian unit has had to wait six weeks for dollars, according to Renaissance Capital Ltd. analysts. Jan Dehn, head of research at Ashmore Group Plc, which oversees almost $60 billion of emerging market assets, remains unconvinced that Buhari is up to the job. The fund manager sold all its Nigerian government debt in the past year. “So far the Buhari administration has done all the wrong things,” Dehn said by phone from London. “Not only has he been incredibly slow in taking any action, when he finally has taken action on the economic front it’s been diametrically opposed to sensible policy. That is a major disappointment given expectations prior to his election.” http://thewhistler.ng/story/bloomberg-writes-off-buhari-he-has-no-capacity-to-run-nigeria?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook#.VlkJq-kfNWI.facebook[/size] |
Standing5:[size=13pt]They supported GEJ because he was SS just because it made them feel a sense of power (by proxy). Since GEJ came from the SS, they adopted him as their own. They liked the idea of him being accepted as Nigerian president as a precursor to Nigerians accepting the idea of an Igbo man as a president because believe it or not, they already know how unattractive an Igbo man as a presidential candidate is to the generality of the Nigerian populace. So GEJ loosing the election the way he did (when they wanted him to win) just infuriated them. Believe it or not, they firmly believed that after GEJ, it would be an Igbo man in 2019. Now we all know that was not going to happen but believe me, it was a very tangible hope to them. So GEJ losing the way he did impressed in their minds that there was no hope for this hoped acceptance of a president of Igbo extraction. This happened to them in both a conscious and subconscious level. There is hardly any election season in which agitations for Biafra and for an Igbo presidency do not increase together. Oh yes, if GEJ had not lost they would not be protesting now. But the implication of his loss was more devastating to their political calculations than to any other group of people. That is why they are even more grieved than the south-south whose son actually lost the elections. Remember the typical Igbo man's mind politically is "Give us Biafra or the Presidency". They are not really committed to the Nigerian project unless they are becoming president and if it is looking like they are not, they sing Biafran songs. I am Ijaw from Rivers State [/size] |
Standing5:[size=13pt]Please this is the last warning. Do not disrespect GEJ by associating him with the totally-void-of-reason movement that is the Biafran movement today spawn by an ethnic group forcing the rest of us (Nigerians) to believe even when we don't want to, that they are naturally of inferior intellect. Ask me and I will explain you why these disorganised Igbos are wailing more than the Ijaws over Jonanthan's loss. I have done that before and can do it again [/size] |
damton:And so far, failing at it. Let's face it. |
Standing5:[size=13pt]Really, I don't see you making a strong enough point because though the price of the dollar has increased, the price of fuel has doubled (even though the price of the dollar has not). Besides, we all remember promises made during the campaign season - he promised to improve the naira[/size] |
dialfa:[size=13pt]Me too [/size] |
