Why Gen TY Danjuma has not been sleeping well lately:

The $9bn P&ID scam: Between TY Danjuma and our government lawyers

So as far as the P&ID deal is concerned the following are the questions we must ask ourselves:

Given that the company did not as much as lay a foundation anywhere in Nigeria for where they will receive the wet gas upon which it is suing Nigeria, was the project not just a scam right from the beginning?
Can General Danjuma show the Nigerian authorities how and where he spent $40million for pre-project expenses as claimed by Brendan Cahill?
If General Danjuma spent that huge sum – which is twice over the limit for any oil and gas contract that needs to be seen, discussed and approved by the FEC – and he forgave Quinn for the betrayal, why is Cahill and co suing Nigeria over an amount spent by Danjuma?
Did P&ID fulfil any part of their end of the transaction and is that company approaching equity with unclean hands?
Given the magnitude of the transaction – upon with TY Danjuma alleged claimed he spent $40million for preliminary expenses – when was this deal discussed at the Federal Executive Council meeting?
If the deal was not discussed at the FEC meeting given that when it was initiated, President Yar’Adua was already on his deathbed, is there any possibility that forgeries were involved? It is also noteworthy that Rilwan Lukman, a very competent and experience professional who was Petroleum Minister then, is dead. The trails are blurring. The duo of Lukman and Yar’Adua are central to the eventual push of the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill to the Senate; a bill that some conglomerates swore will never see the light of day and which is still in a quagmire since 2007, 12 years on. Any connection with this crazy litigation?
On what basis did Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN) – a former Attorney General of the Federal Republic – propose a settlement of $250million for this deal that looks from a mile away like it doesn’t have any legs under the law, when he was the Nigerian representative in an arbitration made up of 3 people?
On what basis did other lawyers from the government end finalize at $850million until this government finally rejected the whole arrangement and headed back to court where we were now slammed with an obligation of $6bn – a figure that has added $3billion as interest and accretes $1m in interest every waking day? Is the involvement of our own lawyers towing the path of alleged fraudulent legal deals which reap off Nigeria (and similar countries) and pays out for lawyers and other big men in our society?
Could it be that the involvement of our lawyers – and their apparent neglect to push the angle of the legality or otherwise of this contract – added an undeserved legal imprimatur to this whole transaction and should this not be the very basis of Nigeria’s argument going forward? I mean, did we admit liability by even sending legal reps?
How did TY Danjuma hope that between himself and his ex-auto mechanic turned gas consultant, Mick Quinn, would have carried out such a massive, technical transaction in the first place, because from afar, given the characters involved and the magnitude of the project, it doesn’t seem like there is any real attempt to execute the project. What seems more likely is that this is one deal where – like in a chess game – Nigeria was programmed into a tight corner from which we will have to pay serious money to get out.
This all looks like a major scam.

Billionaire General Bets on Property With Fortune Forged in Oil
By Benjamin Stupples
2019.


The Kings Arms Hotel is a 300-year-old inn next to London’s Hampton Court Palace, once the home of Henry VIII. It’s poised to open soon after refurbishment, with rooms costing about 250 pounds ($318) a night. Guests can dine on traditional fare in the Six restaurant, a reference to the monarch’s many wives, or grab a pint on the terrace.

In this most English of settings, it’s fitting the owner is a retired military man still referred to as “General.” But for Theophilus Danjuma, this is just one investment in a network of assets that span at least three continents. The 80-year-old Nigerian is worth $1.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with his family office managing a portion of that wealth, often through low-key holdings such as the 14-room hotel.



“We never tend to look at trophy assets,” said daughter Hannatu Gentles, the second of Danjuma’s five children and chief operating officer of his London-based family office. “We’re not going to head to Mayfair to buy a 15 million-pound apartment primarily because we are a yield business.”

In 2006, his South Atlantic Petroleum Ltd. sold almost half its contractor rights for a section off Nigeria’s coast to a state-backed Chinese firm for $1.8 billion. Danjuma was awarded the block in 1998 by the regime of former dictator and fellow army officer Sani Abacha, making him one of a handful of Nigerians made extraordinarily wealthy from the country’s energy reserves.

“Basically, these people got winning lottery tickets," said Antony Goldman, founder of West Africa-focused ProMedia Consulting. “At the time, you had a government desperate for credibility that was isolated internationally.” Danjuma was “someone who’s not really a politician, who is respected in business and in the army.”

Danjuma was born in 1938, the year Royal Dutch Shell received its first oil exploration license for the country and more than two decades before it gained independence from Britain. He dropped out of college in 1960 to join the army, according to “Nigerian Politics in the Age of Yar’Adua” by Bayode Ogunmupe. He gained prominence after participating in the 1966 counter-coup against Nigeria’s first military dictator.

A decade later, he was stepping out of a Rolls-Royce in central London to meet British military officials in his role as chief of staff for Nigeria’s army. He left the military in 1979 and founded his oil firm and a shipping company, NAL-Comet, which now has more than 2,000 employees in Nigeria. Danjuma paid $25 million in 1998 for the oil field exploration license that made him a billionaire. A year later, he became Nigeria’s defense minister as the country returned to democracy.

He originally teamed up with Total SA and Brazil’s Petroleo Brasileiro SA on the block. The minority stake that Danjuma’s company now owns is worth $450 million, according to Bloomberg’s wealth index.

While Mayfair is the hub of London’s family offices, the Danjumas chose the city’s southwest suburbs to set up their investment firm a decade ago. They’ve since invested in property in that area, including the 2.5 million-pound purchase in 2010 of the building where their office is now based, according to filings.

Beyond the U.K., they own real estate in California and have bought and sold property in Singapore. Their family office also oversees private equity investments, trust funds and a venture capital arm that backs family-run art and film companies. The Danjumas own more than 30 properties worldwide, filings show.

“We invest in real estate in other jurisdictions, but in the U.K. we always thought let’s stick to areas that we know,” Gentles said. Her father bought a residence in Singapore years ago, “and it made sense then to buy some more,” she said, adding they’ve since sold the properties because of tax law changes.


In addition to the Kings Arms Hotel, the Danjumas have developed residential properties this year in Esher and Wimbledon. They also own a boutique hotel in Lagos, serving beef carpaccio and lobster bisque in one of three dining areas and displaying works from the family’s art firm.


Nigeria’s leaders have often faced public ire -- with good reason at times. Yet Danjuma was able to avoid much of that wrath because of his role shepherding the nation toward democracy, according to Pallavi Roy, a lecturer at London’s School of Oriental & African Studies. Danjuma also pledged to give away $100 million through his foundation, with recent donations aimed at improving vision care, literacy rates and rural farming.

‘High Regard’
“It might seem contradictory given the extent of his wealth, but he is quite well respected and almost looked upon as an elder in political circles,” said Roy, co-research director of the SOAS-led Anti-Corruption Evidence initiative. “The military held him in such high regard that he was able to help manage Nigeria’s transition from military rule to democracy.”

Owning a hotel in Nigeria led the family to look for a similar deal in the U.K. Two years ago, they paid 2.4 million pounds for the Kings Arms. Redevelopment work was expected to end in March, filings show, but the inn’s age and protected status resulted in higher costs and delays.

“This is the first, and will possibly be the last, listed building we’ve worked on,” Gentles said. “It’s taken longer than we wanted, but our name is attached to the building and we want to be proud of our work. It’s been a hard slog.”

Nigeria must produce what it eats

Yes o. We have to.

As borders remain closed, rice mills open everywhere

By Hussein Yahaya, Vincent A. Yusuf (Abuja), Hope Abah Emmanuel (Makurdi), Ibrahim Musa Giginyu (Kano)& Idris Mahmud (Katsina)

| Published Date Nov 23, 2019

. Following the closure of Nigerian land borders in August this year, hundreds of rice mills have sprung up, while those that were moribund now being activated in many rice-producing states of the federation. It has been reported that the border closure drastically brought down rice smuggling, which had affected farmers, processors and investors.

In a recent interview with Daily Trust, the managing director of Labana Rice Mill, producers of Lake and Labana rice, Alhaji Abdullahi Idris Zuru, said that before now, most of the existing rice mills had finished products in their warehouses because there was no market. He added that “some even suspended production.

“That had created serious problems as some rice mills suspended production, some reduced workforce and some have been operating under low capacity. But with this development, almost all the mills have picked up. The millers are selling, the farmers are selling; and if this is sustained, you will see more people going back to the farm to continue rice production. The millers too will increase their capacity,” Zuru said. Many large producers like Olam Nigeria, Umza Rice, Popular Farms Rice Mill, WACOT Rice Mill, Ebonyi Rice Mill have all increased their production capacity to meet the exiting internal demand. Dangote Group is also planning to establish a multi-billion naira rice processing mill in Hadin, Jigawa State.

The chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, who laid the foundation stone for the construction of the mill, said it had the capacity to process 16 metric tons of paddy rice per hour when completed. He said that in a year, the mill would process paddy rice worth N14billion, bought directly from famers in Jigawa at market rate. Apart from the large millers, there are many medium-scale ones upgrading their facilities to strengthen production. They include NFG-CS Rice Mill in Ga’ate and many more in Lafia and Doma in Nasarawa State; Ogoja Rice Mill in Cross River.

Our correspondents across the states report that rice is currently witnessing beehive of activities as thousands of small-scale milling activities occur. In Benue State, our correspondent reports that local rice millers and sellers in the state are making brisk businesses despite challenges of sophisticated equipment to improve on paddy processing. At the vicinity of the 34-year-old Wadata Rice Mill, workers were seen processing rice for sale to consumers. Some of the consumers were already bargaining for their preferred choice to take home. The chairman of Rice Sellers Welfare Association, Wadata in Makurdi, Benjamin Atumba, who also farms, mills and sells rice, said the best thing that happened to the sector in recent times was the closure of the country’s land borders.

Atumba said Federal Government’s ban on importation of rice had boosted local production in the state in no small measure. “I can confidently say that this year, farmers, millers and sellers have gained. We are now encouraged to do more. Nigerians now know the value of locally produced rice; they also prefer it to foreign species,” he said. He said the prices of rice had risen within the period of border closure, such that a 25kg bag of rice, which was formally sold at N4,500, now costs between N6,500 and N7,000, depending on the grade. He is, however, worried that due to lack of de-stoning machines, millers in the area are yet to reach their optimal output. He noted that the various categories of workers in the mill were doing their best to rid the processed rice of stones. “At this rice mill we don’t have de-stoning machines, but the government can help us as an association to own one. For now, we have old women at the mills, whose jobs are to filter and remove stones from the milled rice,” he added. Similarly, Oliver Aker, whose business is to parboil rice, admitted that the business had been quite flourishing since the Federal Government closed the country’s land borders. He said the business would thrive more if there were machines for the different processes involved in polishing the rice to its finest quality. He stressed the need for dryer machines. “It takes me two days to parboil a large drum of paddy rice and another two days to dry it.

After this process, the chaffs are removed by the milling machine, then some people take their milled rice in large quantities elsewhere to de-stone. With the right machines we can produce more than what we are doing manually now,’’ he said. A miller, Mrs Ayam Chia, however, does not agree that rice business is thriving. She argued that apart from profits on paddy, milled rice hadn’t changed anything in fortune. She said things could be better for millers in times ahead, but not at the moment. In her estimation, patronages are even at its lowest ebb because people have no purchasing power. “Nigerians should eat local rice because it is better than the expired foreign specie. Our rice lasts for only one year; it is rich in taste and nourishment,” Chia said. The secretary of the Wadata Rice Mill Sellers Association, Michael Iorkyar, said it took a minimum of two days during the dry season and three or more days at the wet season to dry paddy rice and get it ready for milling. Iorkyar disclosed that at least 10 milling centres were located in the Wadata area, while the industry, situated close to the bank of River Benue, in recent times had taken off many jobless youths off the streets by engaging them in rice processing. In Kano State, our correspondent learnt that the closure of Nigerian land borders had triggered the emergence of many rice milling outlets.

It was gathered that rice business has become so lucrative that businessmen and women have ventured into it. According to Malam Iliya Sani Mamman, the business community in the state has realised that the number of milling companies cannot meet the growing demand for rice in Kano State and its neighbours, as such, they seized the opportunity to explore the sector. Another rice merchant, Alhaji Yusuf Magaji, told our correspondent that many smallholder rice milling centres had emerged in various local government areas in the state to complement the growing demand created by the recent border closure.

A locally processed rice section, Dandume LGA Katsina State According to him, in local governments like Bunkure, Kura, Garun Malam, Garko and Gezawa, among others, small-scale rice milling centres have emerged due to growing demand. It was also gathered that in Bunkure Local Government Area, women were initially engaged in rice milling processes, which left the rice poorly processed, resulting in low patronage. However, a foreign-supported agricultural project came to their rescue by encouraging them to form a cooperative group, through which a modern milling machine was provided for them via soft loan. This gesture, according to Malama Huwaila Bello Zangon Buhari, a member of the group, prompted another agricultural development project, Agricultural Transformation Agenda Support Programme Phase 1 (ATASP-1), built a modern rice processing and marketing centre for them, through which milled rice business is presently being conducted.

According to Malama Huwaila, “A bag of paddy rice is milled in the centre at N1, 200 and N1, 400, depending on the type of milling one desires. Our machine has the capacity to mill 35 bags a day, that is making an average of N42, 000 daily and N1, 260.000 monthly.’’ It was gathered that Kano market is currently flooded with a brand of rice locally made by small-scale rice milling centres. Also, strong competition is now going on between the small-scale and mega rice milling companies. The issue lies between quality and the purchasing power of the end-user. At Katsina markets, local processors were seen purchasing paddy rice in bulk from local markets, while some foreign dealers were mopping up locally processed rice and polishing it before re-bagging to sell at high prices as foreign one. This is in addition to the proliferation of modern mills. Umar Nabara’u, a local rice processor at Funtua, said people were looking for every chance to exploit the fortunes of the rice market in the state. “The demand for the produce is high due to border closure. And the already established rice mills are yet to fully operate.

That is why there is pressure on local rice. Last year, its price was not more than N24,000 per 100Kg, but this year, it started from N28,000, depending on its variety and quality,” Nabara’u said. He added that local rice dealers were at Kafur, Bakori and Dandume markets mopping up locally processed rice for onward transportation to Kano, where they sieve and polish it before re-bagging as foreign one.

Alhaji Aminu Shu’aibu, a rice dealer, said that against people’s speculation, they add value to local rice before selling it, but not as foreign one. “Foreign rice is now either scarce or costly in the market, making it difficult for most consumers to access or afford it. Our locally established rice mills cannot meet up with market demand; hence we purchase the processed rice, sieve and polish it before selling it as made in Nigeria,” Alhaji Shu’aibu said. Speaking on the new development, one of the rice farmers in the state, Abdullahi Dango Masari said, “Because of the way some of us made huge revenue this year, there is every tendency for rice to dominate over 70per cent of our farms in the next farming season.

We thank President Muhammadu Buhari for his unrelenting effort at boosting the agricultural sector in the country,” Masari stressed. Experts believe that if the current policy is sustained, more rice mills may come on board.

This is very hilarious. I am rolling on the floor.
Funny but the truth

A Nigerian senator issues a caveat lector
Friday, November 22, 2019

By Babafemi Ojudu

Let me make myself clear from the onset. There is no mistake in the combination of the two words above. I am not concerned here about buyers but readers. So, readers, beware! That is the difference between “emptor” and “lector”.

What brought about my asking readers to beware? It is my gentle call on readers to note the change in my status. It does appear that, going to five years since I left the Senate, many still assume that I am still in the upper chamber with the allowance, warts and all.

Yes, it’s true I was a Senator. I stopped being one since 2015. Yes, 2015! We are in 2019, marching on to 2020. It is four years now since I stopped being a senator. When you stop being a senator, your salary and allowances cease. What is left is the title which the creators of that position graciously leaves you with, to massage your ego for the rest of your life.

Yes, sometimes, the ego needs massaging. The title gives you access to protocol or VIP lounges at the airport; a few benefits and respect here and there. It also looks good as a handle to your name on your call card. Yes, it is good to do with some of these.

Often times, it also doesn’t help. It could act as one of those privileges that far remove you from reality, from real people and real situations that define life.

You enter into the economy class in a plane and everyone begins to look at you as if you have missed your road. That look of what is he doing here with all the money he earns or he has stolen. You are suspended in the cloud; your feet never touching the ground. It gives that attitude of, if rice is expensive, why can’t they eat noodles?

Like our governors who move around in chartered planes and do not know the roads in their states are no longer passable, you are shielded from the majority and imprisoned with the minority who continue to lose touch and inhabit the dizzying height.

For me, Babafemi Ojudu, this title is becoming an albatross. It seems no one wants to believe that that innocent reporter who went on adventure to the Senate is no longer a member of the Red Chambers.



Everyone I deal with, from the mechanic who repairs my car, to the laundry man, the one who wants to help carry my bag at the airport, friends and acquaintances on social media, relations, the ubiquitous local politician, all still want to take that pound of flesh for having, as they say “made much money from the Senate”.

Yes I have a lot of flesh left in my body, thanks to the culinary indiscipline of the past, but the flesh has since left my bank account. If you don’t believe, ask my bank manager and I’m willing to supply my BVN, the three-letter albatross of the covetous.

Now I am pleading, when you offer me services, please charge me as you will people who never bear that title – “senator”. Look at me more like that reporter or editor of yesteryears who you take pity on. I am back on the beat.

In stores, on the streets where I want to buy roast corn or plantain, at mama put, at Iya Oyo, the amala joint, or Ojuelegba in Gwarinpa, the one issuing me a boarding pass at the airport, security men, messengers at offices, colleagues, drivers, the gatemen in their homes, farm workers I have had to hire, work men carrying out repairs in my home – I mean the electricians, plumbers and sundry others, area boys and girls, everyone I encounter and have to deal with one way or the other, think wrongly that this income I last earned many years ago is still very much there and they must take their own share by hook or crook. I beg your pardon!

Accept a request on social media, innocuously wish someone a happy birthday and then the torrents of requests; my house rent is due, mum is in the hospital and could not pay bills, school fees is due, wedding requirements not yet complete for lack of funds, visa in the kitty but no money to buy traveling ticket, daddy is dead and in the mortuary and no money yet for funeral expenses, fibroid surgery recommended but no money, children have not returned to school for lack of money to pay fees. All of these, for me who Baba Buhari only pays a survival wage for giving advice now? Haba! E s’aanu mi. E de b’eru Olorun!

I have had to instruct my wife to resort to her maiden name, when engaging in any transaction. Many at times, she has had to be surcharged for bearing my name. The pressure on my adult daughters who still carry around my name with pride is enormous and one almost broke down crying, relating her experiences to me.

For my son, who is into music, I have admonished him to pick his own identity. He made a mistake thinking that by being the son of a senator, things will get easier for him and doors will be opened. Na lie, as we say in pidgin. Who sai!

Virtually everyone he has had to deal with tried to skin him on account of his being a senator’s son, albeit a former one.

For those who may still not believe me after going to this length to make this caveat, let me inform that yes there was much money made in the course of the four years in the Senate, I won’t deny that, sugbon, bo se wa lo se lo. As we received so did we give back to the constituents who sent us there via their constant and unending demands and pressures. If the pressure could be this much, five years after, imagine what it was when one served.

Saying, “e je ka je lara yin, e je ka na ninu owo yin” now is like a child wanting to suck milk from the breast of a woman who stopped lactating three decades ago. Ara mi ti gbe!



Where, dear reader, did you think all of those money spent on buying trailer loads of rice to share at Christmas came from?

Where do you think the money with which rams and cows were bought at Sallah for Muslim faithful came from?

What of the one with which boreholes were sunk? Transformers procured? The money you requested to buy roofing material for your house, where did you think it was sourced? All of the ones my personal assistants transferred to your accounts daily, where do you think it was sourced from?

What of the musicians I have had to ‘spray’ at your function? Impressing you and impressing your musician without which they would compose songs to deride me, calling me stingy and all manners of deprecation…Inheritance from my parents? All of those school fees we were made to pay, hospital fees, the weekend feast and jollifications in lawmakers’ homes and the transport fare after quaffing many bottles of beer and wine and you still sneaked one into your bag, where do you think it all came from? The proceeds of an investment? Owo Abu, la fi nse Abu l’alejo.

You take all of this, blackmail me to do more so that I can return for a second term and yet you still return home and accuse me of being corrupt, getting paid more than any other lawmaker in any other part of the world.

Many who have served or still serving at state or national level have a tale such as this to tell but they couldn’t because with your vote, they believe you could punish them and deprive them the benefit of returning. You blackmailed them and they too blackmailed themselves.

The other day, a constituent in the diaspora reported me to a relation that I came to address a meeting in London and I didn’t share money . Even you? You live in such a place and you didn’t know this is not part of why a lawmaker is elected, not his function. Just imagine an American or a British parliamentarian visiting Nigeria and Americans living here want him to bring a truckload of dollars to share.

Dear compatriots, tell me how many American congressmen and women hired caterers to feed constituents every day he visits his constituency? How many is responsible for the hotel accommodation of his political leaders when they visit the capital? How many rent offices for their party and pay the staff employed therein? Did constituents in America request money for transportation to attend party meetings? Where else in the world are party members paid, fed, clothed and transported to attend party functions? Yet, you talk of corruption. What is the meaning of this corruption? Is it not corruption to demand to be paid before you vote? Don’t you think whoever paid you to vote for him will recoup his investment?

You rail against them on TV discussion programs and abuse them on social media, and you don’t find it contradictory sending messages the following day to send you money to solve your personal problem? When they do, where do you think the money comes from. You don’t know it is from the pay you tabulate and share daily on WhatsApp to show that they are gluttons who are taking more than their share of the national cake? Are you not putting on them more than their share of national responsibility? Don’t you know it pains when you take from them and still go ahead to call them thieves? Don’t you know the person who steals another man’s barrel of palm oil from the granary and the one who helps to bring it down are both thieves?

Many have slumped and died as a result of your pressure and insatiable demands.

They left behind young and innocent children. Many are treating chronic heart diseases because, in trying to satisfy your greed, they pace ministries and agencies looking for contracts and have become OVERSIGHT rats.

The last time I read the constitution, I didn’t see all of the things you mindlessly demand as part of their functions.

Just imagine Mr Voter, Madam Woman Leader, Sister Supporter and Brother State Boy, Area Chief, ah baba of them all, The Godather, that if all of these money spent is put in a trust for the education of your children, wouldn’t it have been more meaningful than the rice and cow you collected and you have since cast out as waste? No, you never want what can be of good for you at the long run. It is always instant gratification and you come into this with a sense of entitlement, an arrogance I have never seen or read of in any other democracy.

I chose life, rather than death, and refused your bait of giving me a second term. Please, know that what is left of me is this title. If you want, I may drop it and go back to live my normal life.

Just beware and spare me the continuous penance. Will you?

Readers, please, beware!

Since Nigerians will not pay Tax to Govt, nothing wrong in receiving something from whom they paid their tithes and offerings.

Many people dont know what they talk and write about. If border control is so easy, Donald Trump and his supporters will not be pushing for building the wall between Mexico and the USA. If every Nigerian is enrolled into Custom and lines up to cover the border, there will still be gaps. Ghana is saying whatever they are saying in the interest of Ghana and not that of Nigeria

The return of Patience Jonathan. Addressing her fellow "widow"

Who will maintain them? Its better if it is private driven . Also motor parks can be compelled to own and operate one plus keep it clean.

If you know you can't feed it, please leave it for the owner

And one day, if the thing leaves the owners house and enter the street, you go still blame Govt...

Osimhen was awesome today for Nigeria. 2 GOALS, two assists and several other shots at goal. Definitely the man of the match.

I like the discipline within the Presidency. They waited and allowed the Man himself to clear the air.
Shame on wailers.

I give up on life

Dont do it. Whatever you are going through, some have gone through worst and they came out better

nairavsdollars:
APC win Bayelsa? How is that even possible?

Election is just few days away. Let us wait and see. Appeal court has cleared the APC candidate. When lies travel for two score years, its takes only one day for the truth to catch up with it.

Nexus25:
APC had a decent performance in 2019 in the SS as against 2015.

Presidential election result

In Edo, APC :267,842, PDP: 275,691

Bayelsa APC: 118,821, PDP: 197,933

Delta APC: 221,292 PDP: 594,068

Cross River APC :117,302 PDP 295,737

Not to mention Akwa Ibom.

Apc has made significant inroads there.

Also, APC appears set to clinch the Bayelsa Governorship seat. Everyone has left the haters behind

IamAtikulate:
we don't call you people sophisticated Moro.ns for nothing. Why didn't you guys field Tinubu in 2015 despite everything he did for APC?

In PDP, the south did 14 years while the North 2 years. We are returning power to them.

In APC, we're taking the ticket. Kee yasef

Your are refering to yourselves when little minds like you call others moro.ns. Nobody stop cowards from your village from contesting or from supporting anything. You are used to making empty boasts without substance. Seeking relevance. We understand your silly games more than you can imagine.
You are Atikulate? How market? Sore losers.

LabDNA:
The reason why you are goading the East to contest against SW in APC is well known to all sensible people of high political I.Q.

You remember 'a vote for Ekwueme is a vote for Biafra during PDP primaries' as propagated by the few yorubas in PDP in 1999?

You remember SW support for 'Radio chanji' in 2015 used to launch political attack against 'southern christian kaffirs'?

The SE/SS simply won't give you that chance again? If APC can miscalculate enough to give zone the presidency to the SW, then you'll have to slug it out a PDP North/East ticket. That's sacrosanct!
So that 'Radio Arewa' can also be used against you to denounce anyone who votes for 'yoruba kaffur', exactly the way you used and supported it against the SE/SS.

I don't see anything wrong with it. It is your propaganda methodology that is being used here. So you should be proud, instead of being afraid of getting eaten by the frankeinstein you created.

You assume others are into your silly games. South West will compete. Support whoever you want. Enough with your empty and silly rants.

It is the classical way SW media thrives. Can we forget how many times they tried to set the SE against SS?

Those who create nuclear weapons are not immune from it.

After a while, you will come to terms with your foolishness.

Igbo is not used to be in opposition

correct Bro. They have been used to be AGIP. Any Government In Power. For the first time, in 2015, their candidate lost and now ready to pull down the house.

Why share a country with people you hate? Does is make sense to you?

Tribal contest is not the way forward. Think for all African tribes to ne liberated from poverty, disease and unemployment

You guys are very emotive. Where is the hatred now? I encouraged / challenged you to present a candidate to contest and for some reason you take that to be hatred. You hated yourself.
