Ti Won Ba Ni Omi Lo Ma Se Eja Jina, Ma a Ji'yan.

12months ago, it was all about Jonathan till 2019 and bashing of Yoruba's. I also supported Jonathan sha and I can say it anywhere that Jonah is my man, I only got angry when the Jonah Crew started goading Yoruba's. Those dudes called us various derogatory names when Jonah was in power.

How Time Flies.

Fast forward to December 2015, GrandPa Buhari is now the President, Jonathan lost to PMB.

Now, it's no longer Jonah till 2019 but Biafra or nothing. Though some Igbo's clamoured for Biafra on Radio Biafra when Jonah Ologogoro was the President but the agigation became serious when PMB indirectly declared Igbos 5% Nigerians(too badt of GrandPa Buhari, he's a President of all Nigerians).

To my utmost surprise, some NL Ijaw dudes made it known that Igbo's only supported Jonathan because of the patronage they got from him. And gradually the beef is becoming an hatredness. Once allies now enemies.

Well, wonder shall never ends. That reminds me of Yoruba adage that says "Abosi Pa Won Po Won Di Ore, Oun T'o Pawon Po Lo Ma Tu Won Ka". Another one says "Rede Rede Lo N Gbeyin Ere Osupa". How the mighty have fallen. Once united in a struggle now at each other's neck. Too badt. Too badt.


To Mr TonyeBarcanista. You have been provided with various links on Ndoki and other Igboid groups in SS. I advise you read and stop arguing. Those people can speak for themselves. Allow them to speak for themselves. We Yoruba's don't force the Okun Yoruba's and other Yoruba's outside SouthWest to join us, we leave it to them to speak and decide for themselves if they are with us or they've become Hausa's. So, let them decide their fate, stop speaking for them.

And "We SS" stance need to stop. You need to stop saying We SS this or that. Ijaw is not SS, it's just a group out of many groups in SS. You are not the spokesperson of SouthSoutherners. Let each group speak for themselves, you can't even speak for Ijaws because Ijaw National Group(I've forgotten the name) have a spokesman, I saw the man on AIT last week when he and 2excos were being interviewed by Gbenga Aruleba. So, please let it go Bro. It's unnecessary, it's an unnecessary job you don't need to buy online for yourself.

God Bless Us All. God Bless Nigeria. Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Make unna stop the unnecessary e-fight, it's unnecessary.
[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=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.

The situation is practically getting excruciatingly unbearable even worse than envisaged with untimely deaths happening here and there.

First it was in Abuja, then Port Harcourt, and now this…

Learnt from a reliable source that one of the trekkers for the purported electoral victory of Buhari has hung himself to death, in fulfilment of the promise he made before the trekking competition. [/size]

[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]
Politics › Re: Ndigbo: Before Its Too Late By Abagworo by coolscott(m):
Abagworo:
Many crisis that have ravaged parts of the world were triggered by either propaganda, outright falsehood and/or deliberate manipulative incitement. This is usually achieved using the perceived weakness of the baits or sacrificial lambs without minding the collateral damage.

I as an Igbo man that lived most of my life among Igbos and various ethno-religious groups of the lower Niger know our weaknesses and I am very much afraid that the plans of using Igbos as a suicidal bait is becoming reality. The Igbo man I know is a peaceful and focused independent man who values success in whatever is his endeavour. We have never been appointment beggars nor jobless protesters.

What is happening today is that a political party which lost its grip in national politics is trying to use Ndigbo as a bait for Nigerian destruction but Igbos should understand that these people mean no well for us. They know very well that we stand to lose everything if crisis breaks down in Nigeria. Imagine one cluster bomb at Onitsha market or destruction of all the sweat of Awada landlords because a party lost power.

Ndigbo should henceforth declare their stance against those trying to destroy us. Elders and youths of Igboland should protect our markets and businesses from these miscreants known as IPOB. Traders in our 2 major cities of Onitsha and Aba have not been able to make sales for the past month thereby increasing hardship in our land.

The Biafran war was a war of survival and nation building which ended at least 10 years before most Nigerians living today were born. We Igbos have long acceoted Nigeria as our country and contributed a lot to its integration through immigration, marriage, business and investments.



To be continued.....
[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.

omenka:
People should take a chill pill already. One thing is for sure in all these- had Jonathan won the election, what we are witnessing today economically- which is no fault of Buhari's but remnants of the failure of PDP/GEJ- would have been a tip of the iceberg.

Buhari came in at a critical time the nation was witnessing its worst moments ever since our return to civil rule- the naira was taking a severe beating, oil price was heading to rock bottom, stocks were nose-diving, electricity supply was nearly nonexistent, security was in shambles, and the general economic outlook was as bleak and as hopeless as never. Fixing all these rot which were occasioned by PDP's relentless assault on our commonwealth, especially in the last SIX years, takes more than just SIX months!

Meticulous planning is needed and there is no room for error in executing those plans. It is a make or mar era for Nigeria and Buhari understands that perfectly and needs no soothsayer to say so- certainly not internet rants from sore losers who would rather we continued in the road to perdition with Jonathan.

A budget is being drawn and any honest critic of the government would agree that its performance would be the first true litmus test of the Buhari admin whose first comprehensive prognosis, according to our constitution, would be out after FOUR years- after four budgets.

Well meaning Nigerians like myself remain resolute in their commitment for a better, prosperous, just, united, and resilient Nigeria, and unwavering in their trust in Buhari and his cabinet- Wailers can Wail and Howlers can Howl for all we care- it is in their DNA to do so.

Slowly but Steadily, Baba is charting a new course for a Nigeria of our dreams, my dream, where we wouldn't wake up everyday to be inundated by news of how Ministers and public officers are in a tight race to outdo themselves in the art of stealing public funds/properties- the only achievement that hitherto qualified one for National honours and State Pardon/VIPship. That is the Change Omenka voted for and it is as sure as day and night on course.

May God continue to bless Nigeria to the utter consternation of her enemies within and without.
[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.”

The GEJ tactics of using Biafra to simulate chaos isn't working. How come its only the paid GEJ die hards that are interested in this Biafra 'issue' most? FFK, The 40-laptop crew, and the whole GEJ faction of PDP? Probes must continue.
[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.
