Realdeals:
US and EU should wail more!

The US that buhari went to beg are now wailers?
lol.
When you think you have heard it all.

Goke7:
Truth is the western powers are wary of PMB especially in his drive to revamp Nigeria's indigenous economy, we really need to pray, they don't continue to use pdp and their biafra touts to incite Nigerians against PMB. reason PMB himself has assembled a bunch of fearless cabinet members like fashola, audu ogbeh, amaechi and so on. It takes guts to deal with the western world and call their bluff.

What indigenous economy?
Indigenous economy and yet he opened the borders to indiscriminate rice imports.
Compare this to the much maligned jonathan that focused on home grown agricultural self-sufficiency, and an attempt at rewamping the home-grown automobile industry,e.t.c.
It was the jonathan administration that even blocked the EU trade deal.
The west is annoyed with buhari, but his phantom indigenous policy is not one of them, because it is virtually non-existent.
Stop trying to be a sycophant.

Ballmer:
Anywhere Igbo is not dominating is a problem. A thread was opened about the domination of Nigeria football by Igbo you do not see HausaFulani wailing over that. I also heard Igbo now own 70% of the real estate in Abuja, I know this is a fallacy but other Nigerians are not shouting marginalisation. What percentage of Igbos work in the maritime industry in Nigeria or is it your father that own the Lagos port that your representation is almost at par with the Yoruba. Did you see others wailing. Nonsensical comments like yours n the eye service by the wither are why Igbo should not be given any preference in this country any further.

I have tried to correct this nonsense on the other thread.
The Igbo domination of certain sectors is not because of some special nepotic priviledges unlike others.They worked for it.
They took control through sheer competitive spirit and advantage. That is what the Igbo man wants.
A Nigeria where fair competition determines who gets what and not the number of child voters you have.
If the north gets better footballers than the east, then there is no reason why they shouldn't dominate.

sukkot:
so when you create this biafra, the likes of theodore orji and orji kalu will stop existing ? and if i remember correctly it is your people who support corrupt people and hate upright people. it is your people demonstrating when saraki was facing corruption charges, same with diezani and jonathan. your people call it ' witch hunting '. so all these corrupt people will disappear once you form biafra ?

I don't know what those angling for Biafra thinks. I have not been following them.
But I believe these leaders would be swept away. The chance to hold political positions would no longer exists for them.
The ones who may try to embezzle would face the law without tribal bias.

sukkot:
and when you secede all the corrupt people in igbo-land will vanish into thin air and stop existing ? do you smoke weed if you dont mind me asking ?

Your thinking process is too limited. Like the average Yoruba man, you are very quick at insulting.
Why do you think corruption thrives and any attempt to curb it is weighed through tribal scales.?
That is your answer. I hope you are smart enough to see it.

sukkot:
we are not the ones agitating for secession because yoruba leaders are corrupt. you know what, sometimes people cannot see the stupidity of their ways unless a mirror is put to their face so i will help you out. >> yoruba leaders are very corrupt and eat all the allocation to yoruba land from the federal government and because of this, yoruba people start agitating for separation from nigeria because our land is undeveloped. doesnt that sound crazy to you ? shouldnt we be fighting our thieving yoruba leaders instead ?

The Igbo Nigerian reality is different from the Yoruba reality.
Secession I believe is to create a chance for a fresh start, a chance to sweep away vestiges of Nigerian injustice and corruption.
A chance to utilize the innate igbo potential to create a truly unified nation bounded by a common heritage.
There is nothing crazy about that.
Ofcourse, there would be challenges, but the shared heritage would generate the patriotism needed to overcome it.

laudate:
Guy, quite often it is the people that blow the whistle or expose the leader's crimes to the world. The law enforcement agencies only take over, to investigate and prosecute after the reports have been made.

If the public is dissatisfied with how the investigation and prosecution is handled, the people take to the streets to demand the resignation of the leader. So your example of America is not totally accurate.

Whistle blowers are priviledged to be in the know.
Most of the electorates are definitely not in the know.
Btw, whistleblower cases are not that common for obvious reasons.
Most of the prosecutions were started as a result of efficient oversight of all state transactions and projects, and investigating unusual spending by the federal law enforcements.
Btw, I am sure everybody in the SE has whistleblowed on orji and okorocha. Why are they not in jail yet?

melzabull:
You keep shouting SE governors are looting, tell me which region where there leaders have not looted them dry also. why not you tell me what governors of other region accomplished for their own people?

Like it or not we must continue to shout marginalisation until the issues raised are addressed. or can you tell me the reason why an anambra student will score 250 and denied admission whereas an ab0ki will score 90 and be admitted in same university? why discrepancy in UTME/cut off marks with that of SE callously high?

SE has 5 states others have 6 while NW has 7, why the unequal representation?

That it wasn't achieved at the conference means you should fold your arms and be continuously trampled upon? and not sought for justice? Dont you see its because they enjoy the undue advantage thats why they(notth) want the status quo to remain? If you fail to see that these issues really need to be addressed then your case is beyond insanity

These guys are evil.
They know it is wrong, but they love it that way.

sukkot:
corrected

Ofcourse, tinubu and co are very considerate.
His financial empires was built for sukkot.

obailala:
I specifically asked you to forget the federal level and focus on the performance at the level of states which are dominantly 99.9% Igbos.

The SE as a whole does not get up to $15b as federal allocation for a year.
What kind of meaningful development are you expecting?
To build a high speed rail that would connect the whole SE would cost atleast half of that.
Federalism that should give more economic powers to the state has been jettisoned.
Are you Nigerians allergic to the truth?

The Nigerian is a selfish entity. The future is never in his plans.
The fact that he is bequeathing a very entropic nation to his children does not weigh on his mind.
Sad, sad and very sad.

MaziOmenuko:
Good luck with your freedom. I am not a slave, I have already found my freedom here in Nigeria. I have a sense if belonging and don't depend on the government for my daily needs.

Maybe you should get useful too and don't wait on the governemt to prepare a table before you.

Because you happen to enjoy a manageable level of comfort, you somehow don't give a damn about others.
You don't care if the million majority finds this country unbearable and unsustainable. As long as you are satisfied.
smh.

laudate:
Aren't those leaders part of your larger SE community? Are you saying the entire adult citizenry of a state that run into millions, cannot hold their leaders accountable? Are you saying one man can hold the entire citizens of a state to ransom?

So why do your people keep turning up in their thousands to vote them into power??

If you are so afraid of holding your leaders accountable now, what magic would you then use to hold them accountable when you finally achieve Biafra Just wondering.

It is not the people that would hold the leaders responsible.
That is where you are wrong. The people can't do that.
It is law enforcement agencies which is already highly nepotic that should do that.
In the civilized world like America for example, the people don't really get to know the crimes of the leaders. It is the FBI that unveils them for the public .
I believe a very efficient anti-corruption agency devoid of tribal interests is achievable in separate national states unlike Nigeria.

yommen:
And aren't ibos part of the Nigerian system? Jonathan was the candidate of ibos' choice yet he did nothing for you. You ibos are more greedy than any other part of Nigeria.

And everybody should have voted for buhari?
The same insipid, uninspiring buhari? Get the fucck out of here.
The last time an Igbo man governed you was in the 60s. Your politics is dominated by Fulani strongmen.
The Igbo should be the last people to be accused of greed. They are not the ones swallowing your national wealth or grabbing oil blocs in the niger-delta.

sukkot:
GEJ was your igbo brother na. abi why una dey cry for him ? you mean to tell me all this noise you igbos are making over gej and he is not one of you ? gej done use and dump una abi ? walahi this gej na real cunny man

I am trying a bring a serious point here, I don't have time for jesters.

Raiders:
who are the people grossly missmanging and stealing money for decades? Are they not your igbo brothers and sisters like former governers of Abia, Imo and other igbo states. Adamu or Tayo did not steal any government money from your state. Our problem in Nigeria is bad leadership

So it is my Igbo brothers that have not smelled the presidency that would resuscitate the EFCC to deal with criminal Igbo governors preying on a weak federal system?
It is my Igbo brothers that have not been president sine 1962 that would chart economic policies that would stimulate growth, devt and then create jobs, develop the country, create modern national transportation network that would create a cyclic chain of growth and development?
It is my Igbo brother that have not even gotten a chance at the presidency that would create a military industrial complex that would create jobs, increase GDP, and a strong industrial base?
The SE gets by far the least federal allocation in this country. What kind of possible serious development do you think those meagre funds can create?
The confab resolution that should give more powers to the state to create enough revenues for development was jettisoned by your president.
So, as much as the SE governors are very culpable, the problem is much deeper.

.

ibedun:
Inferiority complex. What's so special about the Economist? It has lost all its appeal to international audience. If in doubt check collapsed readership in key emerging countries like China etc.

In 5 months?
They didn't lose their appeal when they were lambasting jonathan's govt and rightly so.
You Yoruba APC folks are serious comedians. I can see the reason why media attack dogs are mostly from the SW.

bettercreature:
I'm tired of those igbo guys,they always look for a way to cause tribal war

Causing tribalism by creating this kind of threads, just like buhari .
Hypocrite.
https://www.nairaland.com/2729313/acn-cpc-merger-oust-gej

You guys are all over the place fanning the embers of tribalism, and then when it ripples on nairaland, you turn around to blame someone else.
Dimwitted oduduwans.

sevule:
I agree with CSTR2 that Adeosun's resume is not strong enough. So what is a solid resume? Simply look at the resumes of Tony Elumelu, Sanusi(Ex CBN governer), Godwin Emefiele etc. Basically a person that has financial experience at the highest levels of corporate governance and some level of global financial experience. It is pretty obvious that when compared to these people, Adeosun is definitely a greenhorn. She does NOT have financial experience at the highest levels of management.

That said, even though she is a green horn NOTHING stops her from succeeding in her current posting. I REALLY hope that for the sake of our economy she succeeds

Thank you very much.
I owe you a bottle of beer.

Beremx:
This is an intimidating profile. It makes me look as if I didn't attend a university.

*goes to hide her educational certificates*

Chineke meee!!

God bless Mr. President Jare! You know how to get the good brains to run your government.


Lalasticlala,come and see profile o! You go fear na!

What is intimidating here?
Go and check other countries foreign affair ministers and see their resume.
Many of them have decades of experience in conflicts resolution, UN foreign policy formulation, and with the added advantage of a nobel peace prize.
This is pretty mediocre, though for Nigerian standards may be intimidating.

simplycarro:
Next time, learn to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than rushing to pass judgment on people you know next to nothing about.
Doing such will always give you away as an ethnic bigot.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt in my first post.
I don't expect much, but ofcourse, I am giving her the benefit of the doubt.

simplycarro:
You should look right into the mirror. All your posts so far on this thread defined you.

I know when to call the line.
I say things as they are. I may tend towards Igbo when it requires, but I know when to cut the bullshitt.

sukkot:
its cringing listening to her ( okonjo ) and jonathan and PEJ speak. how the heck did we ever get ruled by these bunch of unintelligent misfits ?

Jonathan is poor, but buhari is not better.
I have watched loads of his interview on youtube and I find them very uninspiring and shallow.
His accents alone even makes it worse.

sukkot:
not at all. if aregberascal or fayose became the minister of finance i would relocate to iraq permanently and denounce my nigerian citizenship because those two are very incompetent. so as you can see ? i am not a tribal bigot. i am a realist

I seriously doubt that.

sukkot:
dont forget fashola now. he got 3 portfolios. fashola the lion of SW

I learnt tinubu wants to eviscerate him.
Fashola is the only politician I even regard in the SW.

sukkot:
listen, i have listened to okonjo speak and i knew right away that she is a dullard. she is one of those people who can cram so as to pass an examination but once she leaves the examination room everything she crammed evaporates into thin air. she is the typical black person who is good in acquiring degrees but very dumb in real life. those people whose degree acquisition does not transfer or translate into actual intelligence

and i have heard adeosun speak and i can tell you that just from listening to her speak i can tell she is not only someone who knows how to pass exams but is also someone who knows how to apply what is in her head. i think nigeria has hit the jackpot with this adeosun lady. she will be the best finance minister since independence

Says a tribal bigot. As far as you are concerned they could have just put anybody from the SW and that person would be the best thing since sliced bread to you.
No need for long stories. Time is all we have.

sukkot:
yes, concern that oduduwa has taken all the juicy spots. it is a legitimate concern, ill give you that. but at some point in time you have to congratulate the political dexterity and sagacity of the children of oduduwa. you gotta congratulate. all this wailing is the leading cause of high blood pressure in nigeria. i really am concerned for your health. let me know if you need me to recommend high blood pressure medicine for you

The minister of finance is what is a making you gallivant?
The minister of trade and investment is as important.
Sorry, I don't find this tribal back and forth interesting. Bye.

sukkot:
yes we are very satisfied and we shall enjoy. try not to wail too much. its bad for the blood pressure

Wail? My own wailing is vocal borne out of a concern, the policies don't touch me.
I can't say the same for you.

sukkot:
okonjo needs to be flogged with lanyard or koboko for running the economy into the ground. and you need to be flogged for endorsing an incompetent woman like okonjo

I think you should wait for adeosun to work first before you talk about incompetence. She may be worse as she is not as experienced in managing very complex systems like Nigeria.
The Nigerian system has a way of turning einsteins into dullards.
