Which violence and threat to life? People are actually free to protest and make it uncomfortable in civilizes climes. Apprending civil right activists isnt a glorious tgin there too especially where their case is true and justified it draws attention to imperative issues.
Not where unarmed protesters are used for target practice.
What do you gain from being a greedy politician sympathizer? Are you Uncle Tom?[/quot















Do you call those attention seekers civil rights activists?There are no civil rights activists in Nigeria.

[quote author=WilyWily post=81356731]This is just the beginning, all those that have hand in killing of unarmed IPOB members will pay the price.
All those so called Igbo leaders that sent dirty stinking Hausa/Fulani Yoruba soldiers to kill innocent IPOB members must pay the price.
Any Nigerian politician that was directly/indirectly involved in killing IPOB members will face any action any moment.
For those dirty stinking high ranking Nigeria soldiers,, you people will face it very soon, IDIOTS, anywhere you are seeing outside Nigerian, God knows what will happen to you.





















But these individuals are in Nigeria, why don't you attack them instead of waiting for when they will travel abroad? What if they don't live the shores of Nigeria, what will you do to them?

Foolishness. Majority of ipob members are in Nigeria and we are yet to see any attack on the so called enemies of biafra.Why don't they attack them in Nigeria? It appears that Kanu doesn't understand what he is doing. Revolutionary struggle is not for the weaklings the like we have in Nigeria, it is in essence for the brave and committed individuals with sound intellectual prowess. Neither Kanu nor his followers has the necessary intellect to achieve anything. There are just a group of unserious individuals who are trying to exploit their fellow kinsmen in the name of biafra.

Waec has never for once released any list
It was done by igbo propangandaist
This same list with the states on those numbers has been circulating the net since 2010 if I remember
Every time waec would say it's fake
Don't u know Igbos are propangadaist
Here is a quote from George bush
If a lie is repeated many times, it will become the truth

But George Bush is one of the greatest liar of our time.

Nigerians are funny people. With the level of corruption and malpractices in our education, is it worthwhile celebrating any feat? I have a friend who runs a coaching center in ondo state and he regularly takes his students to edo state for weac exams. I can categorically tell u that 30 percent of students who seat for weac exams in edo state come ondo state. I served in Akwa ibom state and there are thousands of candidates who travel to abia state to write weac. A cousin of mine who stopped schooling when he was in jss 2 entrolled in a coaching center and taken to edo state for the exams.Surprisingly this guy passed all the subjects at credit level. Education in Nigeria is nonsense and nobody should celebrate any feat.All the states of the federation are poor in knowledge which explains why we are this backward.Our university education is also nothing to write home about. Poor and unreasonable graduates abound everywhere. Our poor state of education reflects in our poor reasoning especially on this forum. I sometimes cry when I read what most Nigerian youths write on this forum. Nigerians are poor in thought and knowledge.

Ayotemide:
Well, this same man said he lifted 5million people from poverty when it has been reported that 25million Nigerian live in Multidimensional poverty. The man is just never going to be alright for this nation.

Northern Nigeria that does not care for quality of leadership and would accept whatever puts akara in their mouth cannot continue to dictate who leads Nigeria. Their ignorance and outright tribalistic and dunce method of politics cannot continue to determine our direction as a people.

This country must become regionally led.

How are leaders being selected in your state and local government area? Do you think you stand a good of becoming a leader in local government area? What I hate is hypocrisy. You seem to be convinced that the north is the problem while your backyard reeks with rotten leaders. You don't have any moral high ground to condemn any region when your region is also sick. Besides, complaining about this and that will not solve any problems. Human beings have from time immemorial been complaining about death and sickness, have death and sickness gone?Truly Nigerian leaders are bad but complaining about their badness will not make them become saints.Abacha was bad, we had Obasanjo. Obasanjo was bad we had Jonathan. Jonathan was bad we had Buhari. Buhari is bad and whoever is going to succeed him is definitely going to be bad. Don't you think there is something about us that makes every leader we have appear bad? Don't you think our environment is the cause of our badness? Society shapes human beings and Nigerians are definitely products of the environment in which they grow.

Nigerians are programmed people. Their reactions to any issues reflect their stereotypical programming. Hardly can they engage in rational discurse. If the bear animosity towards you, they condemn everything you say or do even if what you are doing is good. If the love you they praise everything you say or do even if what you are doing is bad. They don't debate issues rationally to arrive at cogent conclusion,what they do essentially is to condemn and insult. This attitude is typical of savages. It is really true that Nigerians are savages?

EternalYouth:
what this one is saying? Is Madam Oby favour our country to continue depending on the importation of food? Does Madam Oby want us to be an employer of foreign farmers while our numerous graduate roaming the street without employment? Madam Oby with her knowledge and expertise should have known we can
not continue to waste our hard-earned foreign exchange on a luxury of food importation instead of much-needed infrastructure development.
As technocrats she is, I expected Madam Oby to support this good government policy and suggested steps to be taken to accomplish success that will benefit our economy. I expected her to suggest a solution instead of politicizing on every government policy.
As a farmer, I will like to see the government going beyond stop of foreign exchange to food imports. But ensure that foods imports is heavily taxed as luxurious goods. The government must see to it that commercial banks give a single digits loan to the farmers. Also, customer service must live to their responsibility and patrol all our porous border to check the smuggling activities.
I have enjoyed the CBN interventions funds before but they should increase such intervention so that many farmers will be captured in the schemes. Enough is enough, we can not continue to funds the employment of foreign workers through our stupidity while our children can not be engaged in economic activities at home.

There are three to four groups of higher income earners in Nigeria. These groups are namely; the politicians, the importers of foreign goods, the executives of big companies and those who are engaged in the pillage of our oil. These groups of people altogether earn more than 70 percent of Nigerian incomes, while their economic activities generate less than 3 per cent of the country's employment.Tell me how can the economy develop with such negativity?

The president might be wrong in saying that Nigeria has achieved food security, however, for Oby to have suggested that increased importation of food is the best way to tackle food insecurity is at best misguided. For a country suffering from chronic unemployment, increased importation of food, especially those that can be produced locally,will only generate more unemployment and make us become more insecure and vulnerable in the long run. The only way to achieve food security is to encourage local production of food that we can produce.


I expect Oby, being an economist, to have understood the implications of what she is pushing for. This is a country that suffers from chronic balance of payment problems which results from offering fewer goods to world market. We run trade deficit with virtually all of our important trading partners ,the question is how do we overcome such deficit if we continue to import more than we export?We don't manufacture much and the few things we manufacture are for local consumption, how are we going to grow as nation with such a lopsided economic structure?


I understand that there are issues that need to be addressed as far as agriculture is concerned. The security issue has to be dealt with for increased productivity. We have to build more infrastructure to lessen farmers' hardship, and most importantly, the government and private lenders have to make loans available for serious and hardworking farmers to encourage them. This is what is done in developed countries. They protect their agro sector through subsidies and other protectionist policies just to keep their farmers in employment. Therefore Nigeria cannot afford to loose its market to foreign agro products especially given the fact that we are not competitive in other sectors like manufacturing.


There are Nigerians Who, out of greed, are ready to destroy their country to make money. In the North, the unchecked activities of smugglers have destroyed the once thriving textile industry which employed thousands of people. Nigerians are not ready to engage in production but are ready to import everything into the country because by doing that they make more profit.If we want overcome some of our economic challenges, we need to prioritize production,especially in the area where we still have some natural advantage like agriculture. Countries like America and Canada have over capacity in agriculture and are desperately looking for where to dump them. If we allow everything to be imported, there is the likehood of our market being flooded with cheap agricultural products with the negative results that many farmers will be out of employment.


Bros I am interested in agriculture and I will like you to help me out. In case you want to help me start my own agro business, this is my number 08142987020.I will be grateful for any assistance rendered. Please I am not asking you to help me with money, I am asking for expertise.

Nigeria is a backward and poor country from time immemorial, even before the British came. We have never created any wealth for us to think of enjoying wealth. The wealthy countries you see today started creating their wealth more than 300 years ago.This was the reason the wealthy European countries colonized much of the world during the early days of their development. The proceeds from colonisation were what they used to finance major technological advances which led to more wealth creation. No country the size of Nigeria can become wealthy without the ability to create wealth through the power of science and technology. In the early years of our independence, our leaders focused too much on politics than development,in addition to the fact that the Europeans and Americans did not really wanted us to develop in order to legitimize their racist convictions that black people are incapable of modernity. And this was the time the East Asians started their economic development by becoming the world manufacturing hubs. Today, the sacrifices of the Chinese, Koreans, Singaporeans,and Taiwanese have paid off by having some of the world's largest multinational corporations in electronics. When you think of electronic you think of East Asians with global behemoths like Samsung, LG, Hiense, TCL, Panasonic, Sony, Cannon, Acer, HTC, Haier, Skyworth, etc. These multinational corporations generate billion of dollars in revenues in addition to creating million of jobs. They take the front seat in scientific and technological innovations with billions of dollars worth of R and D centres in addition to supporting innovation and research in Universities. While in Nigeria, especially with the discovery of oil, we began to build our economy around oil,an extractive industry the technology of which we don't have to actually take control of it.Our leaders were too naive to realize early on that extractive industry does not generate enough employment. For example, oil gives Nigerian government about 80 percent of its revenue but generates less than 2 percent of the total Employment. When we compare this with the Chinese economy, it becomes obvious that building economy around extractive industry especially by a populous country like Nigeria is unwise. The manufacturing sector in China accounts for 45 percent of the economy but generates the highest rate of jobs. Manufacturing generates jobs and lays a sound foundation for technological development. But if any of you think that Nigeria is going be rich with oil only, such a person will need to have a rethink. The problem we have now is that we have created so lazy, corrupt, unreasonable and uneducated population to start any meaningful development. Our political leaders are busy dividing us for their selfish interests without us trying to study to know why Nigeria is poor and backward. Nigeria will continue to slide into poverty because we don't have the means to create enough wealth for our people. Wealth creation is communative. We are suffering today because those who lived before us did not create any wealth the same way those coming after us are more likely to suffer because right now we are not creating any wealth. Heineken, a Dutch company, began as a family business more than 150 years ago and today it is a multinational corporations spanning four generations. Our problem is our inability to create wealth. If you sucribe to the naive argument often made by politicians that Buhari government has made Nigeria poor, you are only allowing yourself to be brainwashed.Nigeria has always been a poor country and will continue to be poor simply because we don't have the means to create wealth. I don't think any government can make Nigeria rich in the next 250 years even with the best of intentions. Five or six generations will have to be sacrificed, and of course, this is what we are incapable of doing. But we will keep on hating whoever that occupies Aso Rock, especially if he is not from our tribe no matter what he does to move the country forward.

Listen friends, for those of you who laugh and jest thinking you are cool with all that is going on in Nigeria, let me remind you that you are making a very big mistake.

Your only hope and ability to survive in any given country or nation is LAW. When the rule of law and tenants of democracy is destroyed in any country where it is been practiced, a 'State of Nature' fills the vacuum. Where it is the strong against the weak and the fastest agaisnt the slower. A complete wildlife and state of anarchy.

Richdad

If Nigeria is truly a democracy more prisons should have been built because the existing ones would not have been able to contain the criminals you call politicians. All Nigerian politicians are criminals.

Skmoda360:

Bros, depression is nothing compared to suffering that people are passing through everyday in Nigeria....Buhari has failed us....do you know what he
was passing through before he committed suicide?

Why did'nt you commit suicide since you are part of those going through suffering? What are u going through now that you have not gone through before?

executive12:


On point. Well said. I must say this though. After reading the book '23 Years: The Prophetic Life of Mohammed' by an Iranian Professor and a Muslim, I just wonder why any intelligent person will still choose to be a Muslim.

U should have written why should any intelligent person choose to be religious? Religion is a disease, it destroys reasoning. And the worse thing is majority of religious people are immoral, more immoral than non-religious.

Just this small truth now you guys are crying...
Islam is bad!

Everybody who comments now is a Muslim? And for your information, Christian fanatics have been saying this for ages without anybody creating an issue out of it. If the woman who made the remarks is a Muslim, people will also react to it the way people are reacting to it on this platform. Please try to be more reasonable.

Gracemadeit:
That is just the Truth no matter any humans argument.

Buddha and Confucius lived and died before Jesus Christ was born. I have read part of analects and there is no place in it where Confucius said he is not the way. The only thing similar to this that Confucius said was when he was asked about whether there is life after death, and he said why do you worry about death when you do not yet understand life. Buddha was a wise man who always insisted on his followers using their rationality instead of blind obedience that we see in Christianity and Islam today. These two great ancient philosophers never attempted to divide people, instead they preached morality and universal peace and no-violence. They would definitely have spoken again God's eternal punishment of people being burned in hell unlike Jesus and Muhammad who cherished eternal damnation. Buddhist and Confucian philosophies are not being used to create hate and division among human beings the way Christianity and Islam are being used. In my opinion, it doesn't matter what religion one follows one has to learn a lot from Buddha and Confucius.This also applies to Jesus and Muhammad irrespective of their shortcomings, because every religion figure has his shortcomings.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


She is right. Just watch how those Allah Akbomb people will come for her.
It is even stated in the Quran that Jesus is the only way, but those Jihadists seeking for some 72 fresh virgins in the sky will not admit it.
Don't be surprised if this her post causes religious war tomorrow in some core northern states.

Religion of piss indeed

Most religious people are irrational. Saying all this doesn't mean people will not use their rationality to determine what faith to follow. Most importantly, the fact that the woman in question said Jesus Christ is the only way does translate into anything. Adherents of other religions do lay claim to the rightness of the founders of their religions. Nigerians are more concerned about what the will eat than this nonsense.

Nigerians are animals. They find it difficult to create good things but find it convenient to ravel in what others create. Why is it that we have not been able to turn any part of Nigeria into a global haven for for tourists?I have said it several times that we are not human beings.

Nigerians are too backward and corrupt to provide good leadership. We still behave very much like primitive humans who lived thousands of years ago. It appears that we are less human than other human beings. Uche Secondus was making the remarks not because he knows what good leadership means but because he has yet to come to terms with his party's shocking defeat in the last elections. I am convinced that Nigerians are too irrational, tribal and religious to be able to provide good leadership.

shockwave91:



I mean, you gotta love how arrogantly bullish the Chinese can be in exaggerating their position, potential and influence. Instead of admitting they were wrong and try to correct their ways, here they are forming John Wick. They can make this new os for themselves and fellow communists

One thing about black Africans is that they love worshipping their white masters. When will you give up your slavish mentality?

Delson25:
Northern people always defending rubbish because of sentiment, if buhari happen to be a southerner all of them will souting at d top of there voice. Truly northerners are nigeria problem.

And your criticism of Buhari stems from the fact that he is not from your tribe. That's Nigeria for you.

Treasure17:

Dirtiness is not limited to a particular place. This untidiness started when the issue of vision scape and lawma surfaced.

Nigeria has always been a dirty country. It is shameful that nobody is talking about the environmental disaster that Nigeria is. I am afraid in no distant future, more Nigerians will die from dirt related diseases than from malaria.

tunary:
Una suffer never start, since Nigerians are not ready to change the cause of their suffering through this revolution they'll continue to struggle

And you think by carrying out the said revolution things will begin to change. If that's your take, then u are deceiving yourself. Mark my words, unemployment will continue to worsen in Nigeria no matter who is power and the system of government. It is just that we don't have the means to create jobs in addition to low skilled manpower. South Africa has a more developed economy and also has one of the highest unemployment rates in Africa. We are suffering from lack of scientific and technological development as a country to generate enough jobs in addition to high population growth rate.

philos:
From the many comments above, I suspect I'm the only one that entirely read the thought provoking piece from FFK.

Or, may be those commenters were paid to make such comments about the shocking revelations in the write up. Nairalanders should learn to read, please.

Nigeria is sliding into anarchy, and people are here making mockery of a write up that should make us think and pray for this country.
It's a pity!

Don't be deceived by the write up. This is what politicians do in a backward country like Nigeria to sway the masses. They will try to paint the political scene as though it is a war situation. Two things are responsible for this state of affairs.The first thing is that Nigerians no longer believe in the lies they often hear from their politicians, hence ,the need for aspiring politicians to engage in verbal religious and tribal wars to control the masses. The second thing is the eternal battle for Nigerian oil. U should know that whoever controls access to Nigerian petroleum controls the nation. The politicians are scrambling for the control of oil because it will enable them dispense patronage and enrich themselves to the teeth. In the cause of this they will have you believe that their struggle is ordained by God to appeal to the religious sentiments of their followers. So my friend there is nothing that is happening in Nigeria that has not happened, or for that matter, that will not happen in the future. It is just the scramble for oil wealth.

Odinaka00:
Wow.. I read this.. I'm loving this guy more and more, he doesn't seem to me like a coward. I'm glad that we have people like this who see the truth and have the courage to speak up when it matters.. Despite that he s not in good terms with Sowore he still stood by him in time of crises that's how you know a real man.. I pray FFK doesn't change, I pray he remains like this.. He has gained my love.

He didn't do it out of love for Sowore, but because he has issue with Buhari, his sworn enemy. He even said the enemy of my enemy is a friend.

escodotman:
History don't lie and remembers everyone accordingly. Buhari would be remembered as the worst president of Nigeria since independence.

During Buhari's time;
Economy became worst ever
Insecurity became worst ever
Unemployment became worst ever
Poverty became worst ever (even his follow Northerners were the most hit)
INEC became an arm of the APC
Senate became a rubber-stamp
Rewarding crooks and corrupt people after joining APC
Unlawful arrests and illegal detention the order of the day
Disobedience to the courts
Tribalism, bigotry, ethnicism were the benchmark of his government.

One thing is for sure, Buhari won't remain on the seat for ever.

The set of people Nigerians should feel sorry for are the ones still cheering him on despite his obvious failures.

Is it not better to be remembered as the worst president in Nigeria than not to be remembered for anything? It doesn't matter what you are remembered for strive to be great.

wowcatty:
This is not really about Buhari, the unitary system is the problem, Abuja breeds corruption. Even the best brains can't fix Nigeria, we need to go back to regional system of govt. I don't know why this is missing in their demands. I really hope no Yoruba dies to force Nigeria together. The demand is just not strong enough, all Nigeria needs is total devolution of power to the regions.

And you think restructuring will solve any problems. I respect your opinion, but the solution to Nigerian problem is not restructuring. We are just too backward a people to work out any system. During the military era, people were saying that democracy would solve all Nigerian problems,after almost twenty years of democracy, has any problem been solved? Our problem is that we are too backward and I don't think we have the necessary mental ability to create a wealthy modern society. Take a look at Gabon, a country of 2.5 Million people and one of the leading exporters of petroleum in Africa still struggling with poverty. You should also take a look at Equatorial Guinea, a country of one million people and the 5th largest exporter of oil in Africa still finding it difficult to provide basic facilities for its citizens. Take a look at all sub-sahara African countries, you are going to see the same level of poverty. It seems something is wrong with black people.

1x2x3:


You don't have issue with Buhari? You know nothing bro. Sowere has been speaking up and bold enough for decades you can Google up. Besides I'm not doing this because of Sowere or hate for Buhari, I'm simply tired of the situation of Nigerian and a change is obviously and urgently needed.

My question is.... Aren't you tired?
Are you afraid to pay sacrifices with your life to give the future generation a better life?

How sure are you that the future will better for the next generation if you sacrifice your life now?How sure are you that those who will be in charge will create a better future should the revolution happen?These are the questions your need to ask yourself.

wowcatty:
Not only that,, China is also having problem with their economy this year while the US is doing good and will do even better when Trump is done sending us back to gold standard and removing all the fiat money that is backed by nothing. All CBN will know soon.

Don't mind those nonentity who come online to say what they don't understand. The difference between China and America is that china has a long term goal while America has a short term goal. As regards economic performances of the two countries, China has been growing in double digit terms for the past 30 years, so it is normal the economy slows down now that the country is entering qualitative growth period.

Phut:


You have really hit the nail on the head o. I hope all and sundry understand this your post because some of our people are really dense.

I understand your point of view. But you should understand that many young Nigerians are ignorant. They are prepared to worship the white people forever.They don't believe the white people are as corrupt as black people, even more corrupt. This is the psychological effect of colonial rule, underdevelopment and racism. All this has generated what is called self-hate among black people to the extent that they no longer see themselves as complete humans.We hate ourselves so much that we find it difficult to work together to build a better society. Yet we are ready to die for those who brutally colonised and sold us into slavery. It is when we travel abroad and face painful racism that we begin to seek solidarity among ourselves.

livebyday:


Don't be naive
Over 90% of those shootings are black on black gang related shootings

Are you a gang member ?

99% of shootings in America are by 20% of the population which is the blacks

Don't sit and talk about what you don't know

Nigeria is the most unsafe country in the world don't ever compare Nigeria to the USA again

Please compare Nigeria to other African countries of her level like Niger, Chad , Senegal, Sudan, Mali

Don't even compare Nigeria to south Africa , Egypt , Moroco, Tunisia ,Kenya etc

When you get older and get a chance to travel you will understand

Cheers

And you think you are making a sense. I pity your ignorance.

Ugosample:


Do you know how many people get killed in Nigeria every day?

Boko haram alone has killed over 30,000
when you are ritual killings, armed robberies, cult killings and clashes, etc
how can I forget Fulank herdsmen...
you know that NiggerArea is not as safe as it should be

And you know what's worse?

The shithole does not even keep statistics to track these things

so STHU

I pity your ignorance. Aren't u part of the shithole? U can't trade off your country.
