Sloan: How does that concern you? Well, it was made by Yorubas and in Yorubaland! Now "go and die" if you are mad that it was not imported or the IGR of Yoruba land has just increased with that single ceremony and aprons! Imagine saying it is "worthless"? NA JEALOUSY no kill ibo man on top Yoruba progress!

Slow

If there were competitive bids for the production of the costumes worn by those dewy-eyed chaps, there would have been smiles on the faces of the would-be cassava factory staffs. Instead the chaps are pinched into submission by poorly sewn costumes.

ba7man: This @deridegull is concrete evidence that maturity is not a function of age.

Instead, You should ask who got the contract of that ugly, green outfit Peter Obi and his cohorts have been wearing since with faces plastered on the knees like "knee guards".

You are really an intellectual midget. What concerns me with Peter Obi’s dress code? The moronic Babatunde Fashola is launching a government factory and has would-be workers wearing costumes with silly inscription that were apparently sourced by means of political patronage. Yet, a moronic lapper such as you has effrontery to spew crap.

@OP

Nigeria is a serious joke. What the hell is 36 States Finance Commissioners Forum?

@OP

Nigerians are topnotch at corruptible practices. Who got the contract to produce the worthless regals and aprons scripted with “Eko Oni Baje oo” and worn by those nepotistic beneficiaries?

@OP

When Yoruba organize an Owambee party, it turns into an occasion for best governor award among the Yoruba people. When Yoruba organized wrestling matches over cocoa yam, it turned into kiriji wars. It is very funny.

kettykin: OBJ is the worst tribalist , a false patriot and the worst bigot that has ever ruled Nigeria.

A check on the privatisation of the Oil Industry down stream companies when he greedily doubled as the Minister of petroleum and the president of the country (the vociferous Activist like the hypocrite femi falana, wole soyinka all kept quiet)

National oil now conoil was sold to Adenuga at less than the price of the company and yet obasanjo looked the other way
Agip petroleum now Oando was sold to Wale Tinubu at highly discounted price and the whole watch dogs kept mute
Texaco now MRS was sold to Dangote another of OBJ men
African Petroleum now Fort Oil or FO was sold to another of his kins men in the person of Mike Otedola

4 National oil companies 3 were sold to yorubas and 1 to hausa/fulani in a country that is as divers as nigeria and no body said anything or criticised the president even when the sales were fraudulently done

NICON insurance was sold to Jimoh Ibrahim even when he didn't have the cash and the still allowed him to buy Nigeria Airways from Virgin Nigeria

At the End of the day the crude oil owned by Niger Deltans were sold to Yorubas and dangote by the worst tribalist and bigot ever in the history of Mankind

if this is not worse than Apartheid then what can be worse than apartheid and the same devil that wanted a thrid term has the effontery to accuse Jonathan of dividing the country and going for a second term

I have written previously that Olusegun Obasanjo is a walking corruption and disinherited tribal bigot. He is among the few swine that thought by helping Nigeria win the civil war is a license to pillage the country.

The imbecilic OBJ is worried sick because GEJ is bent on convening the SNC. OBJ has concluded the wild goose which have been laying the gold eggs for him is about to be killed. OBJ is among few Nigerians who would sleep well at night if Nigeria stays the current course.

Ojowanle: It’s amusing to see the same people who jailed Mandela several years ago falling over themselves to eulogise him at his death. This is not only because he showed in his life time that he is made of better material than all of them put together but also because we Africans allowed them to take centre stage.

Africans always allow Europeans and their American cousins to call the shots. It was Europeans who sent Mandela to jail and the same Europeans released him after he was considered more dangerous locked up than free.

They dismantled apartheid when it became an embarrassment to them.

Now they are the ones telling us Mandela’s life story and all the efforts other African countries, especially Nigeria, played to set him free have been carefully deleted from history.

A wise man once said, “history is merely a piece of fiction written by the Victors”.

When Mandela left prison a wiser and more matured man than when he was thrown into jail he confounded his captors who quickly switched gears and became his best friends.

On the other hand, a disappointed Mandela was hoping to find an independent Africa with progressive leadership but what he discovered was that most African countries were actually in a worse state than they were under colonial leadership when he went to jail.

It was only natural for him to become best friends with the same people who jailed him especially after he discovered that the economies of most African countries were still tied to the apron strings of their former colonial masters.

If Nelson Mandela died with any regrets it’s probably the fact that he was the only African leader that Europeans and Americans had any respect for.

Take for instance his memorial service where America’s president was given centre stage to read an eulogy. President Jonathan was at the same memorial service but no major media organisation acknowledged his presence.

Yeah, nobody acknowledged the presence of Goodluck Jonathan, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at Mandela’s memorial.
Nobody remembers that Nigeria spent millions of Dollars to support the African National Congress (ANC) members in exile.

It was Nigeria that led a successful boycott of the 1986 Commonwealth Games in protest against the attitude of the Thatcher led Conservative government to apartheid South Africa.

Nigerian passports were issued to opponents of the apartheid regime so that they could travel around the world and drum support for release of Nelson Mandela and dismantle apartheid when the South African government wouldn’t issue them passports.

For several years, Nigerian Civil Servants were contributing a part of their salaries to support the struggle against apartheid.

What we got paid in return is not appreciation but a complete airbrush from history and it’s not because Mandela and South Africans are ungrateful but because they are too ashamed to associate themselves with our leaders.

Mandela would sooner travel to a country where there is stable power supply and security; make friends with Clinton and Blair, who were held accountable to the people they governed, than hang around those who would treat him like a god while oppressing the people who elected them to office.

Mandela would rather associate himself with a country where a cabinet minister resigned over accusations he insulted Policemen on duty than hang around a President who refused to sack a minister facing legislative probe for spending $1.5 million dollars on bullet proof luxury cars.

Madiba avoided Africa because the state of affairs in so many African countries reminded him of how black South Africans were treated by white South African only worse because it’s now black Africans oppressing other black Africans.

When the tide turned around for Mandela, the organised western world – the same people who jailed him – made a decision to claim his legacy while his African brothers, who paid a price to get him freed, were busy tearing down the good work they built.

The same way he realised that the way forward for South Africa was forgiveness and reconciliation he also realised that the sensible thing to do was to fraternise with the people who jailed him and not the profligate and corruption ridden African leadership.

We pushed “our” Mandela back into the arms of his jailers even after he had been set free from a physical prison because he realised that African leaders may be parading themselves around in luxury cars and private jets but they were still ideologically imprisoned.

Since he didn’t want to go back to any kind of prison he aligned himself with those who put him in jail because they did not only set him free from a physical prison they also had the power to set him free from the ideological prison that other African leaders were still trapped in.

They are now the ones re-writing Mandela’s life story and thanks to our leaders our children will probably never know the role we played in setting him free from jail and South Africa from an evil political system.

You could not be more correct. In addition, Africans are sentimental goats and can never match the deftness of Europeans especially on the propaganda front. Europeans made sure Mandela parted ways with Winnie and arranged a waste pipe for him as a wife.

MajeMedia: Mandela's victory was the last page in a book of self determination started by Nkrumah.
Nkrumah's mismanagement of Ghana stains his legacy where as Mandela's is spotless.

Nelson Mandela did not win anything. Mandela was imprisoned due to terrorist acts against Apartheid regime in South Africa. He was set free by the same Europeans who imprisoned him in lieu to maintain status quo in RSA except Apartheid. It is an act of goofiness to say that Mandela was spotless. You are definitely drunk on irresponsible sentiment.

jamace: See Obj spokesman still speaking. FFK has forgotten those days when he was the "accuser of the brethren" for Obj. Naija is a home of those who easily forget history. Na wa o.

Nigeria is also the home of loudmouthed cowards who suddenly arrogated the power to elect president of Nigeria to them selves. What a country.
.

Onlytruth: But come to think of it, so people actually think that a southerner can rule Nigeria without shaking up the security structures of this country?
Wonders shall never end.

So, folks think that it was mere chance that Obasanjo was chosen from western Nigeria to rule Nigeria instead of Olu Falae or any other real southerner from the west?

When I look at the military map of Nigeria, I just shake my head at how we could have allowed our country to be so HEAVILLY tilted against the south in terms military installations. Well, even a northern "trusted ally" Obasanjo couldn't rule without touching certain things, which is how General Ogomudia became the COAS after long years of core Northern dominance of that position.

How I wish the OP is not smoking crack.

The only low marks I have given GEJ are on the slow pace he has assumed in restructuring the military outlook of Nigeria. I had thought by now there should functional campuses of NDA in Enugu and Ibadan, the S&P Depots in Asaba and Benin or another Staff Colleges in Uyo and Owerre or Awka. Individual positions do not tickle my fancy but localization of military installations.

taharqa: Ohhh! They beginning to chang their Or spreading their options in order to keep the noise going for some time, kwa??

I thought they said the $50billion was 'MISSING', na; make dem stick with that story jooor...

Bros you are dealing with borderline goons. A fund or capital that might not have been accrued or received or even remitted by the buyers of the crude oil has been declared missing. Nigeria needs to go.

[quote author=ImHotep-X]@OP

Well said. You're a smart guy. I think the Northerners are also silently preparing for war. The only people I don't know about are the Yoruba's.

Anyway, I see rivers of blood. [/quote]Shymexx,

The northerners, especially the Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri and Nupe, have always set a record pace in preparing for another war since the end of the Nigeria/Biafra civil war. It is not a mere coincidence that northern region of Nigeria has been littered with unusable airports during the peace time.

agbameta: So, GEJ refused to perform his constitutional duties by encouraging corruption and refusing to fight corruption because OBJ diverted OFN resources for personal us?


It's either you are eternally warped mentally or old age is just not doing you any good.

You are a calibrated dunce. What form of corruption has GEJ refused to fight? I doubt it if you will recognize any forms of corruptions even when it is placed on the dirty ridge of your nose.

berem: keep hating! Your hatred won't stop Rochas from doing what he was elected for. Onye Iro!

I can not possibly make Rochas Okorocha my enemy (Onye Iro m) when one of the communities that gave rise to the unfortunate mallam is considered in-law.

@OP

This is funny and ponzi job by inherent betrayal artist such as Amaechi. What stops the flapper called Rotimi Amaechi from vying for the presidential position? The dude is a qualified basement fool.

The so-called pro-Amaechi knuckleheads are rubbishing the principles of democracy.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]I'm not surprised that you can easily assign motive to OBJ's actions as if you are his personal assistant. People like you would rather have GEJ screw things up so that the country will be plunged into war and you biafra Al Quaeda warriors can achieve what you could not do otherwise.[/quote]So far GEJ has not converted the national resources earmarked for the so-called “Operation Feed the Nation” into personal farm. Why should I belong to a cesspit of a country apparently owned by few corruptible dingbats such as OBJ?

[quote author=Mayor_of_Lagos]Zik, a mandela of Nigeria

Mandela forgone his comforts and sacrificed family to fight for a principled and moral rights of his people..he chosed to go to prison than acquiesce and serve the brutal apartheid.

Zik always eased out of difficult moments to save his neck first and would never stand in line of fire to defend his Ibo people..much more Nigeria.

Mandela is in the rank of people like Ghandi, MLK. The only person in Nigeria who fills that shoe and deserved to be in that grouping is Obafemi Awolowo.

We refuse to call Awo a Mandela because Awo is an institution by himself and his doctrines are valid to stand on their own as a test for social evolution.[/quote]Nelson Mandela was among the alleged terrorists that scampered out of South Africa in 1963 through underground tracks. Awolowo was nobody to those who have correct social order above their shoulders.

The day I set my eyes on Mallam Rochas Okorocha in the November, 2011 afternoon at Owerre, I concluded that Imo State citizens have elected not only a criminal but a shameless comedian.

In fact, I have come to realize that Rochas Okorocha is better than his idiotic and sycophantic supporters. It is funny the dude is pointing at one form of corruption while dripping in other forms.

berem: but he isn't that old na! He should be in his early 70's. The man ruru aru ruala di egwu. All I can say its nemesis catching up with him.

I guess here you go again feeding off on irresponsible innuendos. There is no doubt you are what you were. Believe me, it sucks.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]I'm quite sure GEJ or at least, his handlers understand the political game very well. My question to you is, are you willing to dismiss all allegations made by OBJ and others as simply political gimmicks?[/quote]I am willing to dismiss every and all allegations made by OBJ as simply political gimmicks spurred by the fear of disintegration of Nigeria. OBJ's main concern is the purported convention of Sovereign National Conference. A man who converted entire national resources earmarked for Operation Feed the Nation into a personal farm has much to worry if Nigeria should disintegrate. He who comes for equity must come with a clean hand. Moronic OBJ and others have filthy hands dripping in corruptible practices.

Only tribally bigoted ingrates will think that Goodluck Jonathan is underperforming when compared to a fraud called Olusegun Obasanjo. The good or bad performance of any office holder in the jungle called Nigeria does not and must not flow from the front pages of Punch, Tribune and Osundefender.

berem: Yes I had the same problem too but when I used my native browser it was ok. I think it has been rectified.

You are really a woman of age.

kingoflag: Thats your opinion, I do not agree with it.

This is not a matter of opinion, it is a mere suggestion. Unless you are a reputable lazy scholar who would shy away from fact-finding endeavors and embraces innuendos.

kingoflag: You really think people like Amaechi or the other criminal Hausa Politicians and their allies would really love a Nigeria where theres law and order? i.e a Nigeria where a man like Buhari is in charge? I thinks not. They are both bad sets of people (the renegade PDP Politicians and GEJ) who dont have the interest of the Nigerian People at heart, but you know what? GEJ is a lesser evil than these fellow criminals of his. GEJ is a very unenlightened man; thats his biggest problem, thats why hes so confused that hes being tugged at by everyone and he doesnt know where to turn. Hes paranoid as hell and he doesnt know who to trust. I wish I could say the populace should give him a break but then he'll revert to his old ways. GEJ is clearly a man that doesnt do anything unless you prod him. I really hope Buhari becomes APC's flag bearer and a credible younger, vice from whatever part of the country (who would represent the country's direction for the future) is made his running mate. Buhari comes in, cleans up shop for 4 years, wages an aggressive war on corruption, starting from the top, the effect will trickle down to the bottom . Buhari doesnt have a problem keeping his fingers out of the cookie jar, so why would he care whose Ox is gored when they are caught pilfering?

If these renegade PDP politicians somehow take a hold on APC and ensure that Buhari does not become its flag bearer, I hope GEJ wins and then turn around and wage an "aggressive" war on corruption; wanna take a wild guess who his first casualties will be? I dont trust these nPDP Governors that have now decamped to APC, they are all nothing but corrupt scoundrels with no morals or principles whose sole aim in life is to short change the state. How many of them left behind anything worthy that will be attached to their legacies when they leave office as Governors? Instead, they were all busy buying Private Jets while the people of their states did not even have pavements or sidewalks to walk on. Even though I like that PDP's pack-of-card-corruption-house is now falling apart, I fear for a Nigeria where any of these renegade Governors will be in a position to become President of Nigeria. No matter how you want to look at it, they showed the height of disloyalty, and openly too, by denigrating their own fellow party member and Commander-In-Chief.... thats to show the extent that their greed can be pushed.

Anyway, whether GEJ wins or Buhari wins, after 2015 Nigeria will never be the same again in terms of corruption. Its going to be Royal Rumble because everyone --- minus Buhari, I'd say---- is fighting for survival... and probably freedom. A loss at the poll, could potentially mean a stint in KiriKiri. Corruption loses, Nigerians win and thats all that I care about.

Kingofool,

I suggest you read the Nigerian history properly before crowning Buhari a saint. Buhari is a fraud and his place in the Nigerian army officers’ cadre was made possible due to corruption. Hyena does not change its spots.

The defected five governors from PDP to APC have analytical skills of kindergarten and should receive riot acts from the wide-eyed headmaster called Bola Ahmed Tinubu a.k.a Thiefinubu.

dayokanu: They couldnt hide him in Enugu? So he wouldnt be kidnapped?

Dayolodo

Of course, they could have hidden him anywhere in Nigeria. However the prevailing circumstances of the era in discuss dictated Lagos, olodo. How bodi?

I shall definitely vote for Goodluck Jonathan in order to watch the war-making capabilities of the loudmouthed ingrates roaming freely in the jungle called Nigeria.

musiwa112: Mandela was the reason why Nigeria immigration reform took place.. the northerner and easterner quickly reform the immigration even deport the lawyer who was suppose to defend the government of western nigeria.

Where was western regional government of Nigeria when Nnamdi Azikiwe and Mbazuluike Amaechi hid Nelson Mandela in Lagos for more than six months?

Nigeria has a walking corruption and his name is Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo committed the unforgettable corruption in the history of Nigeria when he, Obasanjo, converted most funds for the so-called “Operation Feed the Nation” into Obasanjo’s farm. If I am in the position of Goodluck Jonathan, the lapper called Olusegun Obasanjo will not see the Sun light for the rest of his miserable life.
