Some moderators of Nairaland are very st*pid. What is not supposed to make front page is what we mostly see here.
But important issues, stories and news posted can not make front page.

Nairaland has been bastardized by the so-called moderators.
e.g. Toke Makinwa's personal/family matter that come up every now and then is of what importance? What is our business with that?
See Anie Idibia in kitchen------means what?
See another person at the airport----nonsense
See the other one in her bedroom----rubbish
See what one useless idiot wore to a party
See how some useless girls are pouring champagne into their private parts in a party sponsored by one useless politician and money-miss-road.
See this see that--------what benefit

Seun, have a rethink or some else will become of nairaland.
U ar right. dis forum is going down fast. It's painful seeing NL bcom characterized by an emphasis on useless photographs & a sensationalist style designed to appeal to a mass audience. Unfortunately it is more irritating than appealing.
It has bcom so boring dat people hav resorted to typing numbers since there really is nothing to comment on. Lol.
NL can do better or we may be singing its dirge sooner than expected.

I understand one Akwaibom students broke a world record in mathematics in Japan this year another Akwaibom ruled the world of boxing few years back

It seems the only thing Nigerians are good and better than biafrans in is in only alliance against biafrans and it's people.
[b]Hahahaha u must be a hero-hungry mofo.
Emeagwali
is an intellectual fraud. A 419. Emeagwali is neither a “doctor” nor a “professor” & has no single academic publication. Emeagwali studied for a Ph.D. degree frm d University of Michigan frm 1987 through 1991. His thesis was not accepted by a committee of internal & external examiners and was thus not awarded d degree. He has no invention patents, he did not invent the connection machine & he does not hav “the Nobel Prize” of Computing as he claims. His only Accolade was d 1989 Gordon Bell Prize wit a cash prize of $1,000.
He was able to deceive Nigerians & line his pockets thru bogus lies at conferences & on d speechmaking circuit.
Barth Nnaji resigned as minister due to shady wrong-doings
U can do better than having Okonjo-Iweala who failed woefully as minister as ur role model.
Iweala superitended over d most massive looting of our national treasury in history. Under her watch, our govt corporations, infrastructure etc built over many years & generations & dat should rightly belong to our children & grand children were shamelessly shared within a cabal of govt sponsors in deals dat reek of corruption & infamy.

Ok lets see where his patriotism will lead. You may bury your head in the sand like an ostrich but ask yourself this. The action he took will it draw the S.E and S.S closer to him and the S.W? forget this dream you have about tinubu being a patriot it is a barefaced lie. He has only one agenda and that is his own for himself it is not for anyone else. I am sure as a patriot when he is being buried and thrown into irrelevance by his darling north the whole south will rise and fight with him. NOT! that is what it is about. Will the whole south rise and stand behind him like the whole north rose and stood behind buhari if need be?
[b]d Jagaban has nothing to prove to u or to anyone dat he is indeed a patriot. Bola Tinubu was a frontline member of NADECO & played a prominent role in d struggle 4 democracy in Nigeria. Even in dis dispensation he has contributed greatly to d deepening of our democracy & d breaking up of d evil strangle-hold on d nation by d PDP which swore to cling to power 4 d next 60yrs whether they perform or not.
While bigots who can not rise above tribe & tongues continue to pour oppprobium on him, d patriotic majority of nigerians remain grateful to him & continue to support him 4 raising d standard against a clueless, confused & overwhelmed PDP govt.
Not minding d happenings in d national assembly, going forward, d Jagaban can only grow frm strength to strength as he has been doing since 1999. Afterall Buhari suffered worse & was even declared unelectable by people who did not believe in him. We who believed in him hav today made him president. When d history of nigeria is written, d Asiwaju's name will surely be written in gold.

PoliticsRe: The Fulani Solidarity And Betrayal Of Bola Tinubu By Remi Oyeyemi by datribune:
thotsofnaij:
You are missing the point in my post as to why the igbo's went with a side other than the yoruba side. It was because awo sowed discord and distrust between both sides. Read what I said and comprehend it. It is the truth and till date it has led to discord between east and west. In all his dealings with the east awo believed it was better to burn them so i can benefit from the north. Unfortunately he always ended up getting burned. Same with tinubu which I knew would happen and already is happening.
[b] If d NCNC had been united it should hav been easy 4 Azikiwe to go to d centre. But NCNC had a split. d NCNC won all d five members frm Lagos but only two members from each division could go to d Federal House. Lagos then was part of the West, so it was d Western House of Assembly that would choose d two dat would go. The NCNC thought they were going to choose Dr. Azikiwe & Dr Olorunmimbe but another NCNC member Adedoyin now told them he too wanted to contest. d Action Group supported Olorunnimbe & Adedoyin. How is dis different frm what we just witnessed play out at d national assembly where PDP supported Saraki & Dogara as against d APC candidates?
There ar a lot of untruths &  misconceptions out there wit some persons claiming dat d  AG bought over some NCNC members to cross-carpet in order to form d majority in d western house of assembly. d truth is dat d AG won d elections & were d majority. There were only 80 members in d assembly & d AG won 45 making them d majority. However, some members of d NCNC who did not want to be in opposition & wanted to be in office crossed carpet to d AG. Will it be right for us to say d issue of cross-carpeting was an ethnic thing when those dat cross-carpeted were not only yorubas?. They included Ijaws & many other minorities whose rights d Action Group will later go on to champion.
Unfortunately, many igbo including Azikiwe keep debating dis issue frm a narrow & myopic view & trying mischievously to paint issues wit an ethnic brush & paint themselves as victims. How is it d fault of d AG dat some NCNC members who hated being in d minority joined d AG's majority in d house?.
NB: Awo has never positioned himself to benefit anything frm d North. Throughout his political years he was in d opposition while Azikiwe was their man.
Tinubu is a patriot who having realized dat regional parties like d AC, CPC, ANPP, APGA could not rescue nigeria frm d strangle-hold of d dysfunctional PDP, joined d national call 4 all men of goodwill to come together in a grand alliance to confront d PDP. Unfortunately a faction of APGA, d Ohaneze & mainstream igbo decided to maintain d status-quo & rot of d clueless GEJ. Amaechi one of d leading lights in d struggle to dislodge GEJ is frm d south-south. Tinubu's involvement had nothing to do wit east, west or north. It was about d yearnings of nigerians to get rid of d PDP.

What you don't understand is that it was what awo did in 1954 that lead zik to form an alliance with npc in 1959-1960. Ziks party which was herbert macually's party won an election free and fair. Awo used tribalism to get people of ziks party to switch sides leading to ziks loss. Would you after something like that still form a partnership with someone that did something like that to you and your followers and would your followers support if you did something like that after what awo did to them that caused them to loss power?
If Azikiwe thought teaming-up wit d NPC to become ceremonial president was d way to go, it's all well & good.
My post was directed at various igbo posters calling d yoruba slaves 4 answering d patriotic call to rid our nation of d corrupt & dysfunctional GEJ govt. I set out in my post to show dat contrary to what mischief makers ar saying, throughout history d igbo & hausa hav always been political bed-mates. d yoruba opting & being content to stay in opposition.

Wen we dhe learn from their mistakes?
[b]History does not support ur claims.
It is d SE dat has learnt nothing & continues to make political miscalculations.

1st it was d NCNC/NPC accord, then came d NPN/NPP accord, then came d massive support 4 d PDP.
For their support they got d position of ceremonial president in d 1st republic & speaker of d house of reps in d 2nd republic. They settle 4 crumbs.
On d other hand d yorubas hav always preffered to be equal partners or they stay in opposition.
1) In d 1st republic Azikiwe & d NCNC & Sardauna & his NPC had an accord wit Sardauna as Prime Minister & Azikiwe as President.
Chief Awolowo & his AG were in d opposition. (SW)
2)In d 2nd republic Azikiwe's NPP had a ruling accord wit d northern NPN.
President - Shagari
V. President - Alex Ekweme
Speaker - Edwin Ume-Ezeoke
Opposition - Awolowo & UPN (SW)
3) 3rd republic PDP S.E & North
Opposition - AD (SW)
Is d S.E right in their continued support of d PDP which is a mutant of d NPC & NPN?. Will it bring them d desired development & political relevance?. Time will tell.
