omenka: APC should be wary of these turncoats. Remember what happened in 2003 when only lagos survived.

Well, in 2003 Obj was leading the PDP and using his influence, cunningness, smartness and perhaps a bit of affinity and rapport with the people, he pulled the rug under the AC in the SW. That can hardly happen again! GEJ does not possess the leadership, intelligence, connections, rapport, command goodwill, etc like Obasanjo. The APC may play politics that leads to them increasing their shareholding in Nigeria but never at the expense of its home base, which if off the table, not available for negotiation or usurpation by PDP thieves!

Very good one! +1 for Amaechi. Maybe this is part of the deal GEJ has in order to get support in 2015?? LMAO!

tatosh: I urge them to beware of those PDP members who don't even know the meaning of the word progressives and what it stands for, those blockheads that have refused to let the nation move forward for donkey years.
I'm so positve APC will unseat PDP, the quality of politicians from both sides is not comparable

I think you have a point on the quality angle but another thing to look at is the QUALITY OF RESULTS produced by both parties till date and their leadership. The APC core leadership (ACN and Buhari really) has been under covert assault of the PDP for a long time. In spite of that the ACN after PDP divided it in 2003 went back to the drawing board and rebuilt an even more successful and formidable party not rivalled in any other part of Nigeria. The ACN controlled states especially in the SW are doing far better as a group than any PDP combinations. You can slice and dice it anyway but the leadership of the parties speak to the results we are seeing! If the APC can maintain or in fact continuously raise its standards better than yesterday, there is no way PDP will not collapse. If more Nigerians objectively want more progress for themselves, they will naturally gravitate to where results are coming from. Leading a people and administration is a talent, training and a lot of intelligence, as the GEJ government and minions demonstrate their in incompetence, it is just a matter of time before more people jump out of the sinking ship or get out of the leaking umbrella.

nwabobo: I don't envy Ngige at the moment. Fashola's act of deportation has made a hard job even harder for him.

Excuses and more excuses! Who do you think is fooled by your excuses? You people hated the APC long before the deportation of ibos, looooonnngggg before elections were up in Anambra, would rather not elect leaders and parties that have solved real problems in Nigeria because the foundation ideologues were birthed far away from iboland so your empty excuse fools no one. Ngige probably knows this already, but you think highlighting the lies of deportation by obi could buy the sentiments and emotions of ibos to not seen the failure of obi as governor and his APga party.

I hear Akabueze has been working in Fasholas government for a while. He must be smart and know his onions and well mannered to jell with such levelheaded government of Lagos SW. If he will be discriminated in his iboland, let him better stay in Lagos and not let the perpetual bigots in his homeland derail his career. Let them vote on the usual indices of emotion and bigotry - as they lay their bed so will they lie on it.

If true, it's good news for Imolites and a positive record for the APC.

Interesting!

Thankgodifeduba: LAGOS DEPORTATION: IGBOS ARE INGRATES-APC chieftain

Chieftain of the newly registered All
Progressive Congress, APC, and immediate
publicity secretary of the Lagos state chapter
of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has
said that Igbos living in Lagos state are
"ingrates". He said this in response to the
outcry by prominent Igbo leaders over the
alleged forceful deportation of some Igbos
from Lagos.
Speaking to newsmen, Igbokwe said "my
experience with Ndigbo in Lagos will take a
book to tell. Our people do not know their
enemies. They do not know their friends
either. Igbo must have the power of
creativity, the power of strategic thinking,
power of critical thinking. Igbo are about to
repeat the mistakes of the past in the South
West.

If Ndigbo can attack Gov Fashola the
way they have done in the past few days
then I can conclude that we do not really
know who our friends are. Look at former
Gov Orji Uzo Kalu threatening to take Gov
Fashola to Court when he could not do
anything when his successor threw Igbo in
Anambra, Imo, Enugu, and Ebonyi out of
Abia Civil Service. “When a lady Uzoma Okere
was brutalized by a Yoruba Naval Officer did
any of these empty heads shouting from the
rooftops stand up for the young lady?
Fashola did! Kidnappings in Lagos are one
hundred percent Igbo-driven and yet Gov
Fashola has not deported any of them. Our
people have been involved in armed
robbery, 419, drug trafficking, vandalization
of street lights cables etc in Lagos and yet
Lagos accommodates them.

I can cite some tens of critical interventions
Gov Fashola has made on behalf of Ndigbo
as someone inside the system. Gov Fashola
has reintegrated people with their Kitts and
kins in Oyo, Osogbo, some states in the
North without too much noise as we see
today but Igbo (nkem di iche) must talk
without thinking about strategic interest
and intelligent objectivity. Dead bodies have
been sent severally from a section of the
Country in the past three years to Igboland
and these Cowards have kept a criminal
silence waiting for others to do the job for
them. Igbo toy with their destiny. I suggest
that real men and women should take up
the challenge of redirecting the way Igbo
think and reason.”-

Igbokwe is spot on! This is exactly ONE of the things igbos did to the northerners while they were still welcome in the north by the Hausas up to before the war in 1966. The Northerners appear that they will never forgive or forget and today even when they have no reason to attack mostly ibos they just do it anyway, this is a fact! Now, the egg is already broken in the SW and our people and leaders must respond to it. It is possible that a minority of ibos are not complicit but the action of these ones may just have roped them all in.

madjune: ARE YOU SURE HE'S A REAL IBO MAN TO START WITH? BEEN HANGING WITH NDI OFE MMANU FOR TOO LONG.

I don't think anyone needs to be told if it is not safe, if it is not safe a normal person will leave!

Odenigbo Aroli: Which Ngige ? You mean,the midget APC slave ? Keep dreaming!

Such a silly comment calling someone who is the mate of your father, whose achievements you can never attain a "slave" because he sees what you are never able to see? Well, point one finger at him and 4X more point BACK at you.

Andre Uweh: Seeing is believing. How many times have Igbo being mentioned here. How many Igbo people have attacked Yoruba here?.
Even this thread alone will inform you that Ndigbo are not the problem. Any thing Igbo chokes some people here. It's true.

Well, here you are pushing the same point being addressed here with subtlety. It doesn't matter anymore anyway what will be will be!

Pataki: OAM4J, I kindly await you doing the right to insincere 9jerian. The foolish thread he created has given rise to post such as this within minutes:

Good one but OAM4J, I hope the posts are not just "hidden", they need to be expunged permanently! Google does not "forget" for a while though until their web bots come crawling over this data again!

Onlytruth: I believe he can achieve 1/10th.

On what premise? How? This is how you were shouting around when GEJ was still a candidate then for elections but today, your eye don clear ba? LMAO All Soludo needs to do is to make promises, big promises and offer no specifics on how he will do it. He will probably not be asked until he achieves his personal ambition but the people's ambition will be shattered if he cannot deliver on his promises! To turn any state to even Johannesburg, you will need billions of dollars is he going to use his personal money or take a loan? But to talk about Dubai that has virtually an unlimited budget for almost anything is beyond preposterous! Very funny though!

[quote author=Chris-OD]You have no advise to offer Soludo. You are intellectually limited to be able to do so. Aregbe can listed to you.[/quote]He has not even won the nomination, you are already alienating any kind of support he may get. Do you think you single vote is enough to make him even a local government chairman not to talk of governor?

sincerenigerian: The guy's mouth is as venomous as that of a cobra. He has so much rage and anger for an average Yoruba man. Someone like that would watch to his his neighbor bleed to death because the neighbor is either Yoruba or Hausa.

Well, I don't doubt that but let's keep that discussion away for now. What we need is action on ground and make it IMPOSSIBLE for any Yoruba to even be on the ground needing the help of someone who hates him just because of his heritage.

The first question is HOW? How will it be achieved? Where will he get the money from? Is it a loan he wants to get on behalf of the people in the state? How much is the estimate? How about the interest? Is he going to tax the people? Or use a tolled approach to generate revenue? How much is the current debt burden of the state? Will he be able to qualify and obtain more loans without paying down any current debts? How much is the civil service wage bill per month? How much is the FG allocation?

It's arithmetic, if it does not add up, he will make big but empty plans of nothing! Promises to an unaware electorate may win you an election but promises do not actualize themselves. If in doubt ask GEJ who has remained abysmally non-performant after making the biggest and lousiest promises in the history of elections in Nigeria!

OAM4J: @ All

Pls supply links of ethnic insultive threads (Yorubas are..., Igbos are...., Hausas are... etc ) that are still active here.

Thanks.

This is the first important step and I am sure you will get lots of responses!

Let Nairaland remove every derogatory word and post about Yorubas first from NL, it will take less than 30 mins to create such a query to search your databases! Delete them, ban first time abusers and offenders permanently. If anyone does not abuse an ethnic group but lies about for example what happened in Nigerias history, he is making responses that may be harsh legitimate in the circumstance.
