Nobody has problem with Igbos politicaly in this modern era. The war finished 45 years ago and even though the bruises remain we have all moved on in a united Nigeria. Our alliance should be with justice and not with South-South or North per se. We should align with whatever leads to progress of Nigeria as a nation. I almost gave up on Nigeria but Buhari's emergence has rekindled my hope.

You're sounding more and more delusional as time goes on. "The emergence" of Buhari "rekindled your hopes" indeed! An animal that couldn't even pass his "O" levels.

I would like to believe that u are educated. if u really are then pls apply some intelligence when posting responses to an abviously smart post. we are d ones placing undue importance on the south due to crude which is why Nigeria is where she is today as a leprose giant. This is a nation that when properly managed is indivisible. [b] Everyside complimenting the other. Will d south eat its oil? No! Will d north power themselves with their food? No! So what do we do? We all pitch in our strenghts and make us all great. [/b]The whole world needs food and oil so why not have 2 focal points rather than 1? Also I sincerely pray oil is found in the chad basin because at the stage we are now we need all the cash exchangeable resources we can get because GEJ drove Nigeria off a cliff.

Regarding the highlighted, that is the reason you have INTERNATIONAL TRADE. The whole planet doesn't have to be under one government for the various nations to trade with each other.

IyfeNamikaze:
my problem with this write up s that too much emphasis is laid on OIL. the economy of this country is HIGHLY diversified, it's just that the government's means of revenue is most from oil and this has to change! Since oil was discovered, the Nigerian government has become Very shortsighted, Lazy and Lacks ideas on how to generate revenue from other means other than oil. is there any form of business that exists around the world that you won't find here in Nigeria? what do we not have here? But the government past and present has only looked towards oil and that is why the economy is suffering because they are putting all there eggs in one basket! Even if the whole region start producing oil, the situation will still be the same! oil crash... everything crashes because we are still generating revenue through oil alone. Mr Bruce is looking at one tree and not the whole forest!

Now about the north supplying the nation with Food. this is as nonsense as they come! are they supplying it for free? do these regions not buy the wheat and cows from them? and wasn't these regions surviving for thousands of years before the whiteman joined us together? do you think that there isn't food in the south? where are you getting such information from? And if the south decide not to buy food from the north nko? won't they (north ) suffer the same thing Nigeria is going through now that nations are shunning our oil?

oil isn't the only way to balance the situation we're finding ourselves in, afterall Dangote who is the richest man in Africa doesn't have anything to do with oil. I think the fg should adopt Dangote as a model.

I don't understand why most arguments for continuing the scam called "one" Nigeria sound so re.tarded. Because most of the cheap manufactured items used in Nigeria are from China, we should form one united ChiNigerian federation?

Articulate rubbish!!

This is for all those clowns seeking to see Diezani in jail. Her brothers are already acting.

DrPlato:
I am nt surprised that those pushing for Dogara are from d SE. To them it is business, they always follow d highest bidder. That is why they are behing in Nigeria politics.

Please read the post again. Okwu is from Benue in the NC.

A muslim man is encouraged to r@pe if

1 the woman or girl is an infidel. No questions asked

2. a moslem woman or girl can be r@ped and blamed for the r@pe if she is not wearing a full bukar gown

3. She can still be r@ped even though she is in her ninja suit if she does not have a male companion

4. If the male companion is not her blood relative or husband she deserves to be r@ped

5 where she is fully clad in sharia ninja apparel with a blood relative or husband accompanying her she can still be r@ped just make sure there are no 4 male muslim men around which is the minimum required witnesses to proove r@pe

Lol. Omenka abi I lie?

you dey find ban oh. Leave our Mohammedans alone. Everyone should be entitled to their own superstitions.

pazienza:
Haha! Is it just a co incidence that 419 million naira was deducted from Imo allocation, I mean considering the fact that the governor is a 419 himself, a conman. Shame on the Igbo people in Imo that re elected a mallam.

My Bro,

Shame dey catch your brother, oh. Even in Nkwerre, my own hometown, some ignorant people were voting that career criminal.

pazienza:
We don't want you in Republic of Igboland, aka Biafra 2.0, shouldn't you be happy? Do you feel bad that your group is of no importance to Ndiigbo, isn't that what you lots want, or could it be that you derive pleasure and group worth from the delusional feelings of thinking that Ndiigbo desire to share same country with you lots?

I find the attention seeking attitude quite sickening. You're not invited to a party but you keep screaming that you don't want to come. Biafra 2.0 must not contain even a single non-Igbo nationality, there is no need to create a smaller version of Nigeria. South Sudan should be lesson enough.

QuotaSystem:
Yes he has tribalized the office, it's a Fulani Presidency. Have a problem with that?

I find this Fulani, Ijaw or Jukun Presidency thingie rather amusing. Does it mean that all Fulani's are co-presidents with Buhari? Do all Fulani's get to sleep in the presidential palace?

It's thinking like this makes people run amok and find innocent people to murder when they lose elections.

nduchucks:
It is time to examine the suitability of Aribisala in one of our choice prisons, preferably located somewhere in the SS region.

Said like a true Mumuharista! Just jail the opposition!

OREMUSSANCTUS:
During campaign d guy dey run mouth like tap
Now dem don dey see reality
I love transformation
I hate "change"

Karma na bad babe!!

The man ran for president on the platform of “change” and anti-corruption. Many of his supporters are expecting the dawn of a new era in Nigeria from 29 May.

But Buhahari is staying true to what some of us suspected from the onset.

You only have to look at who he has put in charge of his “Transition Committee”. None other than Ahmed Joda. Joda is what is known as “AGIP” (Any Government In Power) in Nigeria. It means he is among the select few that benefit from any regime.


Return of the Joda
Joda is in his 80s (very unlikely to “change”!) and has a long history of enrichment from public office, serving in the northern regional government before becoming Permanent Secretary at the federal ministry of industries. It was here that he was part of the crew that launched the money-spinning (for them) shambles that was Ajaokuta Steel.

Joda then got further opportunities to mess things up for Nigeria and make loads of money for himself and cronies as chairman of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), Nigerian Communications Council, Flour Mills Nigeria and the Liquefied Natural Gas project.

But the most worrying aspect of his long career was the time spent as chairman of Chagoury and Chagoury Construction. Gilbert Chagoury, a Nigerian of Lebanese descent, was dictator Sani Abacha’s middleman. Then Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss Nuhu Ribadu said when he was in pursuit of Chagoury that “you couldn’t investigate corruption without looking at Chagoury”. Ribadu claimed that Chagoury made it possible for Abacha to steal billions of dollars and lined his own pockets in the process.


Gilbert Chagoury, back with the shady dealing
Bobo Chicago Bola Tinubu, the major financial backer of Buhahari’s APC, recently took the Chagoury brothers, Gilbert and Ronald, to a “closed-door” meeting with Buhahari. Perhaps one outcome of the meeting was the appointment of Joda to head the Transition Committee.

When you consider that Buhahari once claimed that Abacha was not corrupt, you have to conclude that Buhahari’s anti-corruption pose is nothing but a bad joke on Nigerians.

Wicked pipu! Una wan make our Animal in President's skin come die like him Katsina brother. It needs to see his vet in the UK fairly regularly.

Mumus, regretting after the mistake!

Gbawe:
That is the way to go. I have stated several times that the condition is right for Buhari to be the Nigerian Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. I.e the father of modern Nigeria who created a thriving nation because of an ability to seek the policies that improves the lives of all Nigerians. Ataturk gained his surname because he was deemed "father of the turks" by the people themselves. Buhari can achieve same by leading Nigeria well for all Nigerians. Buhari can also "launch a programme of revolutionary social and political reform" that will see his name hailed fondly long after he is gone.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/ataturk_kemal.shtml

It's good to be optimistic but our optimism should be grounded with some realism.

You earnestly hope that "Buhari" would be the Ataturk of Nigeria but don't you think that such a task would require a surfeit of energy, a commodity sorely lacking in your messiah? Let's be honest here, a man that campaigned for a fortnight and took an extended two week "rest" in the UK is hardly the one to tackle the enormous (quite honestly, quixotic) task of birthing your "modern Nigeria".

To the topic at hand, the important question should be why people think that picking public officers from a particular part of the country has anything to do with benefitting the people of that region. I don't think the ordinary man in Obosi, Orlu, Awgu, Ohaozara or Ovim benefits much from having federal officials from the SE. They are federal officials after all. If they are competent, every Nigerian benefits.

It's logical to say that the gentlemen begging are only begging for themselves and not for the SE.

NgeneUkwenu:
Another simpleton!

Looks like you're the other simpleton

Goke7:
what some of you guys that want Nigeria to break up don't realise is that you guys are in the minority and when it gets down to the nitty gritty of Nigeria dividing, a lot of the proponets of break up Nigeria will deny that they never said so. As bad as Nigeria is, the truth is we have integrated so much that a lot of Nigerinas who were born and grew up in places where they do not originate from would not be able to comprehend how they will suddenly become foreigners and non citizens in a place they only know as home. Its not as straightforward as you think, Most Nations who break up are still fighting wars as we speak cos it looks strange becoming a foreigner in a land you've always known as home so chill my brother, I as a person won't mind Nigeria to be divided if it will bring peace but if anyone thinks its that easy, then ask them in scotland after all the noise of breaking away and still their citizens voted against it abi you think say dem rig the votes?

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Please avoid the easy option.

I'll leave you with a quote from JFK;

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win ..."

Buhari and his Apeeshit co-travellers should stop shopping for excuses against their failure.

Which handover notes did he get from Shagari's government the first time he stole power?

Goke7:
wishing buhari failure when he is yet to resume office is most infortunate, Most Nigerians voted for Jona in 2011 and never wished him failure like u guys are doing to buhari now, I understand how defeat can be painful especially when you expect that a buhari who has been defeated 3 times before now eventually succeeded, I feel your pain but anyway na Godwin

I'm not wishing him "failure". It's just a statement of my realistic assessment of his abilities. I didn't support him before and I can't see any reason to change my mind now.

Goke7:
no problem bro, you can continue to hate other people but as for me and my household, I hate no one including you cos i have experienced goodwill from all parts of Nigeria, as i have inlaws, nephews, uncles and aunties from different tribes before i even talk of childhood friends sef.

There is beauty in diversity, only shallow minds think otherwise.

This is one disingenuous argument from "one Nigeria" proponents that I find perplexing. Why is it that once one talks about creating proper nations from this prison camp, people start talking about hate and what not. Do you still live with your parents? If you have left home, is it because you hate them?

Like I asked the other fellow that has "cool" pals from across Nigeria, how about Nigerians that have friends, benefactors and even relatives from around the world? Can we just abolish individual nations and have a single world government, because we love all humans?

Goke7:
They do not hate each other my dear, our politicians were the ones sowing the seed of hatred in us all this while especially the present Federal Govt, which was displayed by the voting pattern we had in the last elections which is the worst we've ever had in our history.

If the incoming Govt performs and I pray they will, all the tension of hatred will gradually die down.

Abeg! Get real, bro!

Are the "politicians" from another planet? Wise politicians only tell people what they want to hear. We hate each other and have wonderful pet names for each other to prove it.

Don't waste your prayers on Buhari's second coming. He failed woefully 30 years ago and this time it will be even worse.

Goke7:
We actually love each other [don't you see how we celebrate together when our national soccer teams score goals?] Our politicians and the elites are the ones lying to us that we do not love each other but do you know they do business togther irrespective of where they come from?

or don't you see how they've all been going to Buhari to congratulate him including those who said He was too old to rule Nigeria?

My brother, we 've all been scammed by our greedy leaders

Stop deceiving yourself, it's obvious from this board, that the different ethnic groups hate each other. Most of the guys here supporting your "one Nigeria" are even more guilty than most. Let's be real.

There are "cool" people all over the planet, maybe we should just have One World Government. Why have different countries when you have "cool" pals from all over the world.

Please quit the blasphemy already, Bandit Lugard is not a god.

kastonkastrol:
even America was poor at a certain time before it eventually became what it is today... So I don't get your drift. I say again, An inch of Nigeria territory can't be negotiated. From north to west, east to south all belongs to the nigerian people.

You need to be consistent here. Every evidence points to the fact that the there are no "Nigerian people". What you have are not Nigerians but Hausas, Igbos, Yorubas, Egbiras, Izons, Ibibios ...etc.

Based on your past arguments about Lagos being in Yorubaland, Nigeria is even a virtual country and the actual countries are Hausaland, Kanuriland, Izonland, Efikland, Nupeland, Jukunland, Tivland ... Etc. You can't have it both ways. That would be hypocrisy.

Let's do the honourable thing and free ourselves from this colonial prison camp.

We colonized you again .....ph speaks igbo

Who are the "we" and what's your point, exactly?
