When will a politician from Igbo tribe be like this man? Igbos can never be like him, they can never be a statesman, they will continue to be a minority if they don't change and open the eyes.

We yorubas are proud of Tinubu, we are happy we have someone like him, someone who believes in his people. Tinubu is the man of the year, take it or leave it.

He's the no 1 politician in Nigeria if not Africa, even the world knows this.

What a stupid question... Where did Jonathan gets the money he used for campaign? All those Dollars he was sharing, where did he get them?

What has this post got to do with the lgbos??
How have you benefited as an individual, or even as a yoruba man, from Tinubu's political endeavours??
After bashing the Igbos and extolling Tinubu, you will still go back to your usual life, with poor power supply, poor healthcare, insecurity, lawlessness,police brutality etc...while Tinubu and his family continue enjoying their loot.
So what has your bigotry benefited you in the long run
NOTHING.

afolag:
It takes more than just sitting down folding your hands, i believe nigerians are ready to go through the process. The much anticipated change starts with every individuals. A change to the way you think as a nigerian to the way you treat yourself and neighbours. This way we will all enjoy the dividends of democracy.
performing the civic responsibility,obeying the rules and regulations,lecturers stop taking bribes and asking for sex, e.t.c . Its going to be a bit difficult due to the present economic situation around the world. Its a collective effort and I believe we will get there.
We all have to be ready, its not only the government job.

The new government should do their bit first and people will follow
You lead by example
Nobody is going to change their attitude if it is business as usual at the top.

Allohrandy:
Owelle is going to be the leader of the Igbos soon. I see him becoming the first Igbo president. Anyway, Rochas till 2019

Please, tell us how the ordinary lgbo man on the street would benefit from Rochas' presidency
Pray tell.

Inkman:
not mincing words atall
the oba bares it all
raw and stark
bottom line is
he spoke the truth

What truth exactly??
This is democracy not some dictatorial monarchy.
The power belongs to the people and only they can choose their leader NOT some divisive, vindictive Oba.
It's not even like Jimi Agbaje is an Igbo man
l hope he himself does not die if JK manages to win.
Pathetic much.

What dafuq with this lgbo senate presidency bull?!!
Really??
Will the Igbos perish without the senate president's seat?
How does that benefit the regular lgbo man on the street( me and you especially)
What difference did the likes of Evans( or was it Evan) Enwerem , Chuba Okadigbo and Anyim Pius Anyim make in the lives of the ordinary lgbo man??
The Yoruba were not among the 1st 6 citizens in Jonathan's administration; how did that affect the life of the ordinary Yoruba man on the street??
We are talking about bettering the lives of ordinary citizens here,not the fulfilling the selfish ambitions of some greedy politicians who don't care about the masses.

It will be a travesty to give the senate presidency to a former PDP senator who just decamped after the elections.
Many APC senators stood, risked all and fought for their party, only to be usurped by a cowardly, selfish, opportunistic, PDP traitor.
I am a neutral, but I believe strongly in giving people positions based on merit.
Screw the so-called political advantage; serves only the selfish, greedy money grabbers NOT the poor masses.

rokiatu:
One of the reasons she cheated on him in the first place is because he's too nice and she take that for granted. I still can't believe his reaction.
HE really need to man up and grow some balls.
You give some women too much freedom and they will sit on your neck.

Please what do you mean by the man being "too nice"?

kastonkastrol:
the act of tearing membership cards is barbaric and very silly. If you want to leave a party, just simply return your membership card to them. SMH

Foolishness

Obasanjo has set a terrible precedent of tearing party cards in public
Too bad

FreeGlobe:
is it that you didn't know before now? Obama was bitter about the anti gay bill, jega was committed to pushing the northern agenda, both had to collaborate to see GEJ out

So GMB will repeal the anti-gay law??
Also, it was Maurice Iwu who conducted the 2011 elections that Jonathan won, right??

Demburrows:
Now the then reality of things are now begining to pan out.
Jonathan defeat was masterminded.

You are joking, right?

missionmex:
Of what importance will the position do for the ordinary man in the east? Make power steady, make it easy to do business and see how well it will be for the ordinary man in the east. Dem no dey share them money with the ordinary man there.

My brother, l have been asking this same question, but some people who claim to be political gurus have been insulting me, saying it is because of people like me that the lgbos committed political suicide

We had Evans/Evan Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo and Anyim Pius Anyim as senate president.
How did that benefit the common igbo man on the street
I always believe in letting the best man do the job irrespective of his party, tribe or religion
As long as the president performs his federal functions in the states everybody will benefit, irrespective of the ethnicity of the senate president.

Sure.
The most beautiful black woman in Rokiatu's world.

incredible6:
you are obviously a brainless soul...

much venom about nothing

PUSH1:
Change from the top will change every thinking of an average Nigerian.

I wouldn't bet on that.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] Yeah and every goalie will gift remy an empty net....Chelsae just became an easier team to defend against,we can imagine open sigh of relief from all defenders in the league especially @ Arsenal. [/color]

We shall see

ribbit:
DE gea still sucks.

Really??
He is the reason why Manchester united is going to the champions league next season
Have you forgotten how many times he saved their ass at the beginning of the season?
Even now Madrid are very keen on getting him

ribbit:
not harsh at all... Age has nothing to do with being a good goal keeper. It doesn't involve skills.. Casilas was still very young when he proved himself at real Madrid, same as van der sar and Oliver khan.. He needs to put more effort than this and keep many clean sheet. Not making silly errors like today and last game in every game.

Don't forget it is his first season.
Remember De Gea's first season at Manchester united.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] Haahaa @ consolation.....Costa is as dangerous as they come,we thought he scored that sublime goal against Hull last game?? C'mon the old boy was about to hit form and thankfully,he won't be around for a very long time for that,shoot!,You people better pray he comes out of it with his scoring touch else he ends up like Nando Torres....Goodluck with one-fluke wonder Remy. [/color]

No Costa, no worry.
Remy the "one-fluke wonder" was bought for situations like this
Nothing dey happen!

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] What is the use celebrating goal when Costa is out for the rest of the season?? @Rubbish chelsae fans. [/color]

Costa has petered out.
Scored his last goal after like 8 good matches!
ZERO goals in the Champions league.
Remy has now scored in like two consecutive matches as a sub
It's time he is given a chance .
Maybe he is the one destined to lead us to the cup

So much for Lenten season
l have no doubt that many of those heartless thieves attended the cathedraticum and Good Friday service, only to steal what did not belong to them today, and the some Catholics among them will even receive Easter holy communion tomorrow
SMH

Hypocrites!

Utchgirl:
#10,000 on monthly basis? To take care of 4children.I think it's too small .

Try finding out how much the man earns first.

cyril83:
Gen abdulsalami should just tell her to refund all the stolen money or else there will be no hiding place for her.

Imagine our clueless president fixing women into fragile and sensitive positions, all these greedy and uncultured women cost gej his reelection bid.

If you like run to obama or ban ki moon, prison is your home except you make a refund. Bloody frog eye.

Refunding is not enough
She should be jailed after that
Otherwise other politicians will all simply return their loots and go scot free.
In China she would face the death penalty

[quote author=MKO4ever post=32341519][/quote]He looks far better, younger and more presidential in suit

They should also stop addressing him as general
Doesn't befit the democratic clout he now has
Can't even remember the last time Obasanjo was addressed as a general
Alhaji or any other title will suffice

alberto2k:
Magun is Real bro

Magun ke??
When the woman's hubby is looking for an Assistant Husband.

Aprime:
Múmu. Stop deceiving yourself.

A good woman is a good woman regardless of her geographical up-bringing. Don't be a dunce.

Great thought!
The "mumu" part was not necessarily,though

dickrider:
They must be high on madness. After voting in mass for the PDP who only deceived them with a second Niger bridge on paper. They should relocate to otuoke let GEJ fulfil his promise to them there. They are so hateful that they voted out their son Ngige for supporting APC.

They shall forever remain irrelevant in Nigerian politics. Bunch of tribalists

So much for national unity.

Adegbodolu1:
APC failed there because the Igbo's are pitiful learners in politics and governance. Check your history bro. Pathetically the same people are smarting to make yet another heinous mistake in the forthcoming guber on 11th April. If I were an Igbo man I would put a gun to all Igbos head to vote APC so they can gain some relevance in this dispensation and protect the massive opportunity the Owelle has built to achieve Igbo presidency of Nigeria. Obviously must get a nutritionist now and get rid of that massive belle.

Do you really believe that people should rather vote to achieve a political advantage, than vote in the candidate they are convinced would better protect their interest?

The issue of tribal representation in the federal government is no longer yielding fruits because the modern politician is only after his pocket, but Nigerians would rather have their kinsman at the top, even if he is benefiting them nothing rather than have a non-kinsman who is doing a great job for them

l think it's all about pride now- "our son is there" - rather than any tangible benefits

David Mark is the longest serving senator yet his people are complaining of neglect (l served in Benue), but they keep voting him just so that they would have representation in the government, what for?

I will always like this man.Always
Amechi is a GOOD man
It's all politics people
Nigerian politics is dirty and ruthless, only the strong and smart wins
It's not his fault

boolet:
Later on some folks will be hyping a mere uninspiring phone call as the panacea to post-election violence

See the big picture
This is only happening in Rivers state
The whole country would have been burning by now save for that phone call.
I hope you have not forgotten the mayhem of 2011

philips70:
Crime festers when criminals are not punished. The PDP and many of its supporters committed too many crimes against humanity to be talking about reconciliation this early morning even when the GMB tenure has not started.
Do you want me to start listing? If you want forgiveness kindly ask the current C-in-C to open the gates of all prisons in Nigeria. Nations do not develop that way my friend. Keep your Johnny be good attitude to yourself.

For starters, I am not a PDP supporter
Secondly, l am not asking for any forgiveness; l have not committed any crime neither has anyone who voted for PDP.
More so, l am not trying to be good. What for??
l was only trying to say that Nigerians- the electorate -should move on from the elections, and concentrate on nation building, instead of throwing shades at one another across party and ethnic divides
Nobody ever said criminals should be freed or go unpunished.
Perhaps, you even misunderstood me before quoting me the first time.
Whatever the case, try and fully understand a comment before quoting the poster

okosodo:
Buhari will deal with them wella. He is a fulani man and they dont forgive.

Sorry, bro
Speak only for yourself
Gen Buhari is a man of honour and integrity, who keeps his word
He has already embarked on reconciliation and national unity
He is not marginalizing anybody
The politics of bitterness and vengeance is over
CHANGE has come.

Together, we will realize the Nigeria of our dreams.

sprinkles14:
Seriously, have tried all I could to spice up this relationship..not just working out...

l wonder why you accepted his proposal when you knew he was not the one for you, and you had 4 good years to decide whether he was the one or not.

Don't tie your self to perpetual unhappiness and regrets

Marriage is to be enjoyed not endured.

A broken engagement is better than a broken marriage.

Call it quits if you are 100% sure you don't want to marry him

People won't talk forever.
How many people still remember that the likes of lni Edo, Funke Akindele,Oge Okoye et al, all had serious marital problems, and these are popular celebrities

Try and find out what you truly want, and seek counsel if possible.
All the best.

philips70:
Nobody needs healing with evil idiots. The harm you guys have caused Nigeria will take years to fix. Only 16yrs and we are in this mess when pdp boasted of 60yrs. Tufiakwa!

"Evil idiots"
So much for maturity and common sense
So much for education
So much for national unity.
So much for progress
You should have found out where l stand in all this before labeling me "you guys"
Thank God Gen Buhari does not share your stance nor have your vindictive mindset.
Left to the likes of you, all those who supported GEJ should be put to death.
Never knew someone could be this bitter even in victory!
It was just an election NOT war!
This is exactly why this country will remain divided.
Some people can't just let go and move on
.Tufiakwa!
