Curlieweed, are you looking for an unnecessary argument?

I am just sick and tired of ignorant noise making.

HopeAtHand:
The Dutch language and Afrikaans are similar but not the same.

The Dutch cannot claim Afrikaner as the same people even as the Dutch are the ancestors of the Afrikaner.

The flemish arent French or Dutch..They are a distinct people now.

That said, there are Obviously some similarities and cultural exchanges between the Igbo and Ikwerre largely due to proximity, and/or ancestry...But now, language differences are many..It is practically impossible for Igbos to understand the dialects of most clans within Ikwerreland...Even if the heard snippets, we cared less.

Now, If a people collectively decided to dissociate themselves from Igbos, to the extent of having same recognised in the constitution, it is on the Igbos to accept that decision in good faith.

Since the 70's, we have ensured that we arent fated together with the Igbos..we will pursue our collective destiny as Ikwerre people....The Igbos shouldn't be seen as dragging the issue unnecessarily.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" .

The discussion here was an innocuous one about language (and dialects) and you jumped in and started you usual noise about Igbos "claiming" your people.

For the records, I don't see anything that indicates that the Ikwerres have any Igbo ancestry. Na beans!

I don't know how you guys started speaking your corrupted version of my language but the earlier you went back to your Edo language or whatever your ancestors spoke, the better for everyone.

Animals wey get horn dey talk, snail sef come join.

This just goes to show that you can't use lies and propaganda to abrogate the laws of economics (and mathematics).

This is a preview on what will happen to the whole country when the Janjaweedian socialists implement their misguided policies on the whole nation; free monthly N5,000 to 25million, feeding of school children and now N40 a litre of gasoline.

Like I said, the lunatics have taken over the assylum. Fasten your seat belts, it will be a rough 4 years.

Wake up and smell the sinsemilla!

MalcoImX:
It's not surprising from a supporter of 'stealing is not corruption.' Whoever lies easily and is corrupt in his conduct with others has moral issues, and should be punished. Should it occur that this governor-elect indulged in what's being alleged, then surely it will be dis-empowering, and would suffer the moral and legal consequences to follow.

First of all, get a dictionary and you will find that stealing is ACTUALLY different from corruption.

I'm sure you hid an intelligent point amongst the rest of your verbiage but I must apologize for my inability to find it.

EzioAuditore:
He wrote "nearly impeached" , or do you need an english teacher?

Do you want to apply?

MalcoImX:
And they nearly impeached Clinton on the allegation he had s*x somewhere with a woman. I think Obama too got into trouble for smoking hemp when he was a student.

He should not have been allowed to contest in the first place for calling a human being his God on Earth. It is not a good example. The basis of law is morality.

Get your facts right, my friend! Clinton was impeached for perjury (lying under oath) not for fccking Monica.

The basis of law shouldn't be Morality because morality is subjective. Morality is personal but laws should determine the interaction between citizens.

MalcoImX:
If this is true, then this man should be removed through whatever means.

Why? Is there a law against being naked in a private residence?

Apeeshit and hypocrisy!

barcanista:
Very correct. Contrary to the expectation of APC, those of us that they termed "losers" will remain and be very visible in reminding them of their electoral promises and keeping them to toes. I already have my template, it will be an interesting 4 years...

The only "losers" are the 15.4 million cows that voted for the fascist, Buhari

I wish Buhari's baboons and dogs had lynched you back in Bauchi. Your family would have forgotten the past and moved ahead.

Small pikin!

SomebodyLovesMe:
Things didn't just "fall into place". The Chinese developed a nation to be proud of, and one that tourists flock into. They made their country indispensable as far as world manufacturing is concerned. Other than oil, what else can we boast of conrributing to the world? How many tourists flock into Nigeria? Are they not avoiding this country for fear of getting attacked? Forget about tourists: can you sleep without your doors and gates locked, with security guards in addition?

The earlier you stop deceiving yourself and start doing your bit to enhance this nation, the better.
Inulting people online only makes you sound frustrated and as though you're not sure of yourself.

Even your name is sad. Sorry, no one loves you. If your mother could flush you down the laterine, why do you think anyone will love you.

Everyone hates you, and with good cause.

ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS... One of the world's biggest display of shamelessness!!!

Here is a Speech made by former S/A President P.W. Botha to his Cabinet. It was reprinted by David G. Mailu for the Sunday Times, a S/A newspaper, on 18, 1985.


"...We are not obliged even the least to try to prove to anybody & to the Blacks that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that to the Blacks in 1001 ways. The Republic of S/A that we know of today has not been created by wishful thinking. We have created it at the expense of intelligence, sweat and blood... We do not pretend like other Whites that we like Blacks. The fact that, Blacks look like human beings & act like human beings do not necessarily make them sensible human beings.


Hedgehogs are not porcupines & lizards are not crocodiles simply because they look alike. If God wanted us to be equal to the Blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour & intellect. But he created us differently: Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers & the ruled. Intellectually, we are superior to the Blacks; that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years.
I believe that the Afrikaner is an honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being......

By now every one of us has seen it practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves. Give them guns & they will kill each other.

They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives & indulging in sex. Let us all accept that the Black man is the symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence.
Isn't it plausible? therefore that the White man is created to rule the Black man... And here is a creature (black man) that lacks foresight...

The average Black does not plan his life beyond a year..."


With the recent xenophobic attacks by south africans, has this speech been justified?

Afrikaaners are the product of an experiment to cross breed orangoutangs with pigs.

Human beings dey talk afin sef come put mouth. Dirty, stinking albino.

Apeeshit

If Buhari ran against one of his famous cows, I'll vote the cow and reject Buhari, again.

Ikengawo:
there's something very strange in the Nigerian brain that doesn't allow them to reason when it comes to personalities.
does this remotely sound like anything GEJ has ever said in his entire life? There's no public record of GEJ saying anything remotely aggressive.

OP is an imbeh so I refrained from commenting but I feel it's deserved because multiple people are re-posting this foolishness. It's very dangerous to have this many stupid people in 1 society.

This is an insight into the mind of a typical Mumuharista, credulity and ignorance just like their "general", Buhari.

mmsen:
Will this compel these film makers to make better movies with more mature and sophisticated content or will they continue making the same crap loaded with superstitious nonsense?

I think it will, scratch that, IrokoTV is already having a positive impact on Nollywood production values. Economics has always driven quality and the idea of producing to sell just 10k copies wasn't wonderful for quality. Stumbled on a Kunle Afolayan movie on Netflix called October 1. It was good.

olalat:
U
You people should reason beyond bigotry now.was it only his tribalmen that made him President in 2011? The man goofed so much by sidelining the southwest region. He was too soft on taken critical decisions. The outburst of people like pa Edwin clerk and asari dokubo did a lot of damage to his image. The man just lack leadership trait sha. My personal opinion.

Next time you want to post some "opinions" you overhead in your favourite beer parlour, stop using big words you clearly don't understand. What is "bigoted" about my comment?

Johnny Boy's biggest mistake was being born into a very small ethnic group in the wrong cardinal point of the country.

EUROBOMBER:
Brother, let us tell ourselves the plain truth, we have always had block votes since 1999 but we always vote for the person that it is so obvious will win or Any Government in Power. Check it since 1999. It is the same thinking that made us throw in all we had for Jonathan but life has thought us that we should never say "Never of impossible."

The oneness of voice and unity we want is to agree to queue up behind one of our own and give him all our support and I see the best man to enjoy such support from us is Rochas.

Rochas is close to Buhari who will be the Nigerian president soon, he is also accepted and respected in the SW and North. Common Sense should tell us that Rochas needs all the support he can get from us now instead of calling for his sack fro Government house Owerri.

If you are saying we should put all our eggs in the PDP basket then what happens to our brothers in sisters than have been languishing in poverty and neglect under PDP Governors since 1999? Should we allow them continue to suffer just because we must remain with PDP? No way! PDP must be kicked out in Abia state for dismal performance if we have the interest of our people at heart.. PDP should be replaced there with APGA or APC and I also suggest the Theodore Orji be dragged to an Elections Petitions Tribunal so that he can be disgraced and stolen mandate recovered from him in the interest of our people of Abia State.

The fact that Roaches was fired from NAMA for filching $1 million means that we will be stupid to queue behind him. If the "North" and SW love him so much, they can vote for him but we should reject him. If you were even promoting Ngige, it would have made more sense not a career criminal like Okorocha.

pazienza:
The SW needed compensation, but the SE didn't? so when a Yoruba candidate is involved, performances and. abilities doesn't count, only regional compensations count, but when a SS/SE person is involved, regional compensations won't matter, performance because the watch word. Are yo too blind to see how they keep shifting the goal post to suit their innate tribal agendas? Are you that blind? OBJ was a bad president, but no change was needed, only regional compensations matters!


So, you are implying that the SW didn't vote for Buhari because if the purported change, that was only a camouflage, they voted for Buhari for tribal sentiments, because he had a Yoruba VP, for if that wasn't the case, Okorocha/ Amaechi regions of origin won't have mattered to them, all that would have mattered would have been Buhari and the Change he promised.

Of course, those of us who can see, already know that.


So, the question for you is, is it not naivety on your part to think the Yorubas having worked so far for APC, will jettison their presidential plans for Okorocha, if they couldn't jettison their VP plan for him? Aren't you asking for water from the moon?

I tire for all these meaningless cliches. Someone comes up with a daft phrase and unsuspecting sheeple just bleat it repeatedly like so many zombies.

EUROBOMBER:
The bold part shows that hatred & bitterness has blinded you so that you can no longer see nor reason properly, I am done with you!

I always called him Buhari, I'm not going to change now because JegaJega rigged him in.

EUROBOMBER:
When will get to that bridge, we will cross it but we must not make the mistake of putting all our eggs in one basket like we did with Jonathan who was looking and watch himself lose the elections forgetting that some people staked everything for him.

"When we get to the bridge...." Isn't strategy. Actually, it's anti-strategy. You don't accept a flawed candidate because your enemy seems to like him. You reject him, period.

You should stop repeating meaningless cliches about putting "your eggs in one basket". What does that even mean? We should just decide to share ourselves evenly between Jonathan and Buhari? How do we achieve that? Maybe Igbos whose surnames start from "A" to "M" should vote Buhari while the rest should vote GEJ? This is a democracy. Damn it! How come no one is talking about the NE and NW putting "their eggs in one basket"?

Jonathan lost because he made the mistake of being born into a very tiny ethnic group. QED.

EUROBOMBER:
Why is it that our people are so myopic and don't understand the dynamics of politics? Someone is saying that we should play opposition but Berem asked a very sensible question here and that is What happened to APGA? How did we manage APGA which was supposed to be a sort of Igbo regional party? Another problem we have is arrogance and refusal to accept our mistakes. No regrets that we supported Jonathan but the Jonathan himself was not smart enough to win the elections; we did our best for him but he failed himself and now we must move on.

Any discerning Igbo person can see that we must form strong ties with the Buhari-led center. People are saying that we should kick out Rochas and I ask why? Rochas is a man that is acceptable by the Yorubas and the Northerners and can play a key figure in building bridges between these two power blocks. We MUST keep Rochas politically relevant and he MUST be returned as Governor of Imo State on Saturday.

Let me also state that we have no moral justifications to start placing demands on Buhari whom we massively rejected on 28th of March. What we should do now is to approach him with humility and make him see reason why he should not neglect us in his government.

Bleep Apeeshit! We did the right thing by comprehensively rejecting them in the SE. Buhari had nothing to offer 30 years ago and I doubt if he has recently grown any new brain cells.

Forget the sleek American branding and abandon all hope of progress with Apeeshit at the centre. And that is the more reason why we should kick Roaches out of Douglas House and remove every stain of Janjawid from our beloved homeland. What have all the Federal office holders in the past achieved for the SE?

Making Roaches politically relevant is the worst trap we can set for ourselves. When and if Roaches contests for the 2019/2023 Presidency, our detractors will dig into the archives and "discover" that he was fired for corruption by Obj. We will be forced to defend "our" own and it will be shamefull. It's a lot better to reject Roaches now rather than later.

APGA is our party. They have done a noble job in Anambra. Let's vote for them in Imo and Abia.

barcanista:
That is the difference between Jonathan and Buhari. While Buhari and APC vowed to cause chaos by forming Parallel government if they lose, Jonathan being a perfect gentleman and a democrat to the core respected the will of the people and showed sportsmanship. Jonathan is a hero!!!!!

Apeeshit and Buhari have been gifted a victory by GEJ. The lunatics have finally taken over the asylum.

I have always suspected that a majority of the denizens of this country are re.tarded, one free and fair election and the shameful proof is here; Nigeria is chock full of Mumus.

owobokiri:
Kontrìman, Tax and spend is NOT inventive politics! You know that. But I agree that certain cultural settings permit the political elite the luxury of creating a tax regime that can bolster the revenue base of the authorities. In a place like Nigeria,what happens to the cash thereafter is anybodys guess. . If you are lucky, such cash can start off long bridges/metro lines that will be uncompleted till armagedon as it becomes a conduite pipe for greater kleptomania. If you are unlucky, it will buy some executive tin gods mansions in Dubai and London. Anambrra doesn't generate that much internally although a reasonable number of businesses thrive there. This has emboldened a lot of local investors to pitch tents thre. . It really depends on what you want.. if you want more money for the executives and their henchmen to play with, tax more. If you want more cash in the hands of an active business community, tax less. Yet, the calibration of a states Tax policy to arrive at any of this two ends shouldn't be made a propaganda tool in the hands of some overzealous politicians and their internet hirelings. I was forced to pay more doesn't really mean I am healthier.

Thank yo, thank you, thank you!

Preach it, bro!

cindicandy:
Lest we forget, where is Buhari the APC presidential candidate?

Buhari wants to become another absentee president like his Katsina brother, Yardy.

Sai NoAbsenteePresident.

Sweetlemon:
Ok Ok.

I think it's time to go soft on you guys suffering from this disease. Seriously I don't blame you all especially after watching him give reasons why the press could be banned. Not that you comprehended what he was really trying to say though. I was never really a Buhari person myself and I am only supporting him for lack of a better alternative on ground. I blame APC for not presenting Fashola or even Kwankwaso if they had to present a Northerner. But then again, it's all politics. The game of politics is not something you can understand with the ordinary eye.

Now let me share with you some pills I took for my own initial Buhariphobia. Trust me, it works.

1. No Politician Can Islamize or Christianize Nigeria: Do you know why it can never succeed in Nigeria? Because Nigerian politicians are too greedy. They are all lying in wait for you to mess up so they can pounce on you. Too many people are waiting (impatiently) for power and 8 years is even too long. Then one ode will come and bring 3rd term? Or one mumu will say single 6-year term so that he can ask for another 6-year term again ba? Lai lai! Attempting to Islamize or Christianize Nigeria will be political suicide as power brokers from all sections of the country will fight tooth and nail. No president has 100% power (not even in military regime. That's why there are coups) Now there's too much money in Nigeria for these power brokers to allow one demented foul come and Islamize Nigeria. Too many businesses (many of which are owned by top politicians and power brokers) will risk too much loss in an Islamized Nigeria. Haba! It's just not possible.

2. There's Really No 100% Freedom Of The Press/Freedom Of Speech Anywhere In The World: You cannot just wake up one morning and write an inciting article against the US president based on lies or unconfirmed stories. You could give pointers, you could raise alarm about something you suspect. But you cannot publish such as facts especially in an inciting manner. You dare not try such with the British Queen. You cannot just start protesting on the streets for no just cause and policemen are always on-ground to check excesses at legal protests. So no one is really free to just wake up one morning to do/say/write anything they like just like that. There was a time channels TV was banned I think, not sure who banned or suspended them but it wasn't by a military regime. Also I have heard stories of some pressmen being harassed even during your dear, sweet, gentle Jonathan's govt. So what's your problem really? Abi should I remind you of how Sanusi, Ameachi (even the whole of Rivers state), Kwankwaso were harassed by your gentle President? How about the soldiers and policemen brought to even kill unarmed oil subsidy protesters? You need more examples of how your sweet Jonathan is not better than Buhari in that aspect? Ok, do you guys remember some time last year or so when Abati said that people insulting Jonathan on the internet will be jailed? I remember a particular time here on NL that people were actually scared of saying anything against Jonathan. Wow Nigerians and short memories!

Obasanjo, Tinubu, and some other stinkingly rich/powerful men are too powerful for Buhari to mess with. So Buhari cannot just wake up one morning and start acting like he's the leader of North Korea. He won't last up to a month. In fact, Tinubu alone is enough is throw him out of there. In politics, you do not and you cannot bite the fingers of your Godfathers or you are gone. Ask Jonathan.

They don take Taqiyya (holy lies) scatter this one brain.

Francis5:
Will Tinubu and Fashola flee too? Without these two also picking race to Saudi, the flight is incomplete. I laff in iragbijili.

You dey mind the Mumuharistas? How about Amaechi of the Monorail fame? Bukola Saraki, nko?

These janjawid clowns are so retarded.

Janjawid dreamers!

Correction!

Buhari is the polar opposite of genius. In fact it's an unpardonable grammatical faux pas, you can't put Buhari and genius in the same sentence.
