Would you be willing to admit that the proceeds from groundnut played a major role in the development of modern Lagos? What was(were) the primary source of foreign exchange in Nigeria between 1960 - 1967? Please enlighten us.[/quote]Please pay no attention to the goofy individual that goes by handle name, seanet02. He or she does not even understand the mother tongue.

The crops such as cocoa, peanut, palm produces and timbers were not by themselves winners. Of course, each of these crops contributed immensely to the development of Lagos as the capital city of Nigeria. Even though there are few loudmouths on this board who would want us to believe otherwise.

It is the management of earnings from these products matters. One could recall that in 1950s western region of Nigeria pledged poverty when Shell D’arcy requested funds for further exploration of Crude Oil in Southern Protectorate. The regions that provided the initial capital for the exploration which led to the discovery of crude oil in Southern Protectorate did not include western region

Abagworo: Abuja -

The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, has said , yesterday, that no life was lost in Kano during the recent political violence in the state. A statement from Mr Yushau Shuaib, the head of the media in NEMA, said the state’s Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Dan-Azumi Doma, clarified the situation when he received the special presidential committee on the plight of displaced people as a result of the violence. The statement, however, said that some properties were destroyed while some people sustained injuries during the crisis, ” He added that from the preliminary reports by response agencies, the crises were neither religious nor ethnic.

What an arrant nonsense. This attempted charade from the so-called National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, is asinine.

Must it take the lost of lives and ethnic or religious induced mayhem from the northern region for the state’s Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Dan-Azumi Doma and personals of NEMA to grasp the gravity of the madness? The senseless riot which erupted after conclusion of presidential election in the northern region of Nigeria must be condemned with strongest of the terms.

As I told you elsewhere, I maintain an optimistic outlook of Nigeria. Insha Allah you people will be shamed at the eventual success of our dear country.

I seriously doubt if few Nigerians would agree with your less than visionary prediction after mayhem in northern region that followed presidential election.

By the way, until you can secure a cure for instantaneous madness that afflicts the cross section of northern regional population, my solution remains valid.

What annals of history are you insinuating? You are in a state of incurable delusion. The 419er called Nuhu Ribadu was a police officer with a considerable rank for 12 years and can not point to a public nuisance he has arrested. Ribadu is unequivocally a human fraud.

I guess you are one of those idiotic southerners who have created the myth about northerners are born to rule.

Sun of god:
Even if Nigeria is split into 150 million countries with each citizen becoming president of their own region there will still be problems.

There are problems afoot in Nigeria that disintegration could help resolve. I had wanted Nigeria to disappear from the map of world as country. You should be rest assured that slicing Nigeria into more than three (3) countries brings fresh air to the inhabitants.

Other than few cosmetic appendages that make the colonial contraption resemble a country, it seriously lacks the substances of fundamental patriotism.

It was a war I am glad Biafrans fought even in defeat. Biafrans did not start the war and would never allow themselves to be stampeded into capitulation by ill-advised murderers and visionless followers.

I have come to realize that opinion is a terrible thing and everyone has one. If this is not true, how could you have concluded the war of survival stood up by gallantry Brifrans was ill-advised? If the situation in 1966 replicates today, Nidgbo had no option but to fight.

By the way, the proverb of Ochu nwa okuku nwe ada remains the battle cry of Biafrans. I guess the southerners who joined the war against Biafra are handsomely paid in kind. My solution to the idiotically displayed madness by the miscreants from northern region of Nigeria shall remain disintegration of geographical expression called Nigeria.

Dis Guy:
saying African-americans will overwhelmingly vote for barack obama is not racial baiting, whether they generally vote democrats or not

its just a minor point that is actually valid you choose to dwell on
what, are you saying you read all his article during that period to conclude he didn't say anything?

I have no intention to dwell on the foolish jokes of one Aluko but to draw a contrary. Bolaji Aluko even went further to engage in rascal insinuation that the results of election from SE and SS were withheld leading an undiscerning onlooker to conclude a possible premeditated machination to rig election result from the zones. What a silly postulation.

There is nothing good or educative about article as it is filled with unintelligent innuendos. I guess you were not remotely drawing any similarity between elections in USA and Nigeria.

The monsters in the northern region of Nigeria that seemed to rear their ugly heads on slightest change in the direction of wind were created by the British, Southerners and the so-called Christians from the northern region of Nigeria. We were provided the opportunity in 1966 to nib the monster in the bud but the chance was lost on the platter of tribalism.

I guess the solution should, as inevitably as it may sound, rest on armed struggle or equal amount of animalistic tendencies from southern region of Nigeria. If the northerners appear to be drunk, the southerners should equally appear to be crazy. It is very silly to continue to preach the nonsensical and unfounded level of education in the south to calm the nerves down.

@ Dis Guy, reindeer , ekt_bear

Look pals, I had liked to call a spade a spade. If the learned professor enjoys the play of tribal jokes, he can have his thrills but it is foolhardy on the part of the professor to lecture us to stay above ethnic fray.

The primes of the article repeatedly emphasized the vote for GEJ by certain group of people because of middle name or certain region. I guess the professor failed to adequately represent his academic title in which he deliberately avoided the voting pattern of group of people whose names are mostly Ebel(r)echukwu or Azikiwe. Since the inception of PDP, SE had overwhelmingly voted for presidential candidate of PDP whether the middle name of the flag bearer was Aremu, Musa or Ebele.

When SW decided to vote for chosen son of the soil in 1999, SE voted PDP and the candidate’s name or tribe was not Igbo. In 2003 when SW realized that the previously rejected son of soil could stay at Aso Rock for another term, the zone decided to vote based on tribal sentiments yet the deluded author kept mute. In 2007 the SW almost boycotted the election because no son of the soil was among the contending political party flag bearers. Yet the learned professor did not find it fit to engage in his childish insinuation of tribal binge.

I can not still fathom what gave Aluko the effrontery to slight the people of SE when he remotely engaged in such disingenuous act of ethnic baiting with an article bereft of any historical relevance. Any wise person would have expected a man who sat on the certain apex of knowledge to come up with article full of praises for a region that showed rare political dynamism by staying above tribal shenanigans through the cast of their vote for PDP’s presidential candidates whither their names were Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani or Ijo. Instead, the professor found academic potentiate in melancholic prank in names such as Elelechukwu, Eberechukwu or Azikiwe.

If Nigeria society is not dysfunctional to the point of animalistic tendencies, there should not have been a riot after the election. One should thread very carefully while apportioning blames to the principals during Nigerian presidential election.

If the incumbent had ordered for tight security during and after the election, such move would have been interpreted by the opponents as a brazen machination to intimidate voters and a sure form to rig the election. 

I must also say that it is out of character for presidential candidates to speak repeatedly about the need for people to riot if the election was rigged during the electioneering campaign. It is a culpable behavior for presidential candidates to indulge in silly and incendiary speeches to crowds that are not capable of sieving the seeds from the chaff.

The riot in the northern region of Nigeria since the conclusion of the presidential election is an aberration and condemnable too. It reeks of tribal agenda devoid of any patriotic pattern. When Yar Adua won the election amidst the worst rigging in the history of electoral contest in Nigeria, the ethnic bigots in the northern region of Nigeria did not see fit to engage in wanton destruction of lives and properties.

In fact, sometimes the truth must be said about the state of the colonial contraption called Nigeria. If most southern Nigerians were able to see the vision Biafrans saw in 1966, this despicable south-north socio-political dichotomy should have been avoided.

@POST

I can not believe some of the so-called learned Nigerians still dwell in ethnic drivels. It is an unnecessary act of stupidity and disingenuous on the part of author to inject ethnic plight to the essay. The inclusion of “likeable Otuoke son with Ogbia-Ijaw name like Ebele (that can be confused with Ebel(r)echukwu and nickname Azikwe being the man to vote for, he was a shoo-in”

I am quite sure that Bolaji Aluko failed to inform us the real middle name of Goodluck Jonathan and how such name played with Ibibio, Ogoni, Annang, Efik or Ejagam who voted for Goodluck Jonathan.

I hope to one day hear you condemn the terrorist acts of groups such as MEND, who have been proved to be responsible for kidnapping of innocent Nigerians and foreign nationals, killing of innocent Nigerians, bombings, bunkering, and other atrocious acts, with the same zeal with which you condemn disenfranchised Northerners who are protesting recent massive and unnecessary riggings .

The people of SE geopolitical zone should hold GEJ’s leg to the fire for sacking the interior Minister. Which of the service chiefs report to the Minister of Internal affairs? Who are the people included in the meetings partnering to security of the country during imminent danger? I can not fathom the firing of the minister when the ministry does not have large number of force or security operatives directly under the control of the minister. This action of GEJ is very unacceptable to Ndigbo. This is a display of political ingratitude.

I have concluded that only mangled fool will have the audacity to criticize Ndigbo for voting PDP. Since the inception of PDP, whether it was Yoruba or Fulani or Ijo is chosen as the presidential flag bearer of the political party, Ndigbo had voted massively for PDP. This rare action of Ndigbo is called political dynamism devoid of any form of tribal sentiments.

Is Goodluck Jonathan Igbo or Ijo? Why is it that Ndigbo are prominently featured in this Nigerian electoral mess when the principal figures are not Igbo? From president to vice president, chairman of INEC and PDP chairman are not Igbo yet focal point of the election and riot is directed toward Ndigbo.

@OP

Few cretins on this board had proven beyond reasonable doubts that stupidity is an inherit trait. If not, what could have been responsible for these illogical and near-madness posts about SW voting pattern as clever? One of the trolls even claimed happiness that SW voted out crocks in PDP but the fool forgot who elected them in the first place.

The word, bias, could be associated with a person or group of persons whose voting pattern is clearly tailored towards the ethnic identity of the flag bearer of a major political party. SW, undoubtedly, had voted for any party or coalition of parties that spotted the son of the soil as presidential candidate as recently as1999. I remembered AD in 1999 which ceased to exist in 2003 when the son of soil sat at helms of PDP-controlled federal government then morphed into ACN when the son of soil was no longer the flag bearer for PDP. We shall watch what happens when presidential candidate for PDP is chosen from SW. If this happens, there is no doubt that ACN shall cease to exist as a political party in Nigeria.

Yet some nitwits from the SW would want us to believe the geopolitical region is politically savvy. I guess politics born out of ethnic bias could be regarded as savvy. Sometimes I can not stop laughing at those who apparently tried to sit historical fact on its head.

What are you babbling about? With this post, it seems you do not know the electoral history of Nigeria. From the federal electoral decree # 73 of 1977 through #24 of 1999, electoral act of 2001 and 2002 to 2006, all maintained the same clause except when refereeing to number of states and FCT of the federation.

You probably got into NDA because of quota system yourself, albeit, after passing the necesary exams with an above average score.[/quote]What wrong did Amuta commit in 1961 that forced him out of the class that headed to Sandhurst, UK other than he was Igbo from eastern region of Nigeria?

This is not 1979, this is the year 2011 -- what you call arrant nonsense is what we have now . . . Since we are now trying to pursue more reasonable elections, every people need to be conversant with the legal requirements to be met for any candidate to be declared leader. Any candidate to win must win a portion of votes from regions other than theirs in addition. So, sectional politics will not work for any group. If you don't like it, go fight the Electoral laws that make it so.

Sometimes you come across as individual with organize social order above your shoulders but further examination reveals you are below average.

Talking about Nigeria of yesteryears and today including your empty twist such as “legal requirements to be met for any candidate to be declared leader. Any candidate to win must win a portion of votes from regions other than theirs in addition”, I guess you have forgotten about Richard Akinjide as his 2/3 of 19 majority plea during electioneering legal contest.

Do you leave in the cave not to know that each candidate vying to hold the political mantle of Nigeria must win certain percentage of votes cast in each state not even geopolitical zone?

What difference does electoral laws make when a region has perennially swore not to vote for a particular candidate because of ethnicity and religion? In the election of 1979,  Ndigbo, at least, made Shagari appeared electable but same can not be said about northern region of Nigeria in respect to Zik except Plateau State.

Your posts are laden with so much bigotry that it rarely makes sense for those of us who do not live in your mind there.

You are right that a pig is a pig regardless of the baths and you are a clear example of that . . no matter how many attempts you make to sound educated, you still sound like the bigot you are known to be unfortunately.

Education: The process or art of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment.

For example, the first education I received resourcefully came from my mother. I guess your mother did same to you.

However, during my class of cadet intake to NDA we were required to achieve a certain level of success as result of secondary school education. But when such level is lowered for certain candidates through political and ethnic nepotism, the benefactors of such corrupt political machination shall ever remain socially unfit.

I have learnt in human nature that anybody that cries wolf actually eats with wolfs. So you can spend all your wasteful time to shout bigotry, I shall never relent in my pursuit to speak the truth.
