LouisVanGaal:
TESTIMONY: when I joined NL in july this year, I preferred visiting the politics section through a 'guest mode'..I was really comfortable with that and thought it would always be so. I can confidently tell you the political affiliation of Major commentators on this politics board without a blink. I give it up to BARCANISTA, the dude is the main reason you are reading my post now..his threads are usually educating,compelling,informative,un-prejudiced and insightful! I also discovered during my silent period on NL, that other Progressives share the same traits as well and display a high sense of Emotional Intelligence in their respective threads e.g Obiagelli, Pendy79, egift, Omenka, Ibnsultan, arewafederation, berem and ('Lord' Gbawe)..they 'hardly' INSULT and attack on threads unlike the Pdp supporters e.g mudraker, mogidi, phockphockman, 'in'sincerenigerian and chukwudi44 who to me are just pure comic relief on these board..they constitute nuisance and create hateful threads always! Their arguments reeks religion and ethnic bigotry always and not based on facts! Kudos progressives..keep schooling them!

I can tell you don't know the 'progressives' on NL.

barcanista:
Stop mentioning me in your kid-like comment. I know when to respond to trolls and when to ignore them.

Thanks

With the rate you go hmmm...wahala dey o o

egift:
The deny every knowing him. That nobody sent him. The Australian stayed weeks in said they have not seen him before

BTW, why is Dokubo and Jonathan wearing the same costume? And their is more to the style of handshake

You have no proof. That's why Barcanista avoided the damn question like EBOLA.. Thanks

egift:

Add Boko Haram, Missionary Jet, Stealing is not Corruption

Until we vote out Jonathan, nothing will change.

Do you still remember FG response concerning the alleged negotiator?

Thank God I didn't school in France. Show me picture of your matriculation and Convocation gowns or IDONBILIVIT

barcanista:
you are a shameless dolt and an embarrassment to users of this forum. You call the content of this thread lies when you have no clue of your country. Seun, you should hide your head in shame.

Keep reasoning like your dog

How low can you go Mister? Pathetic!!!

barcanista:
indicted is not the same as convicted. Davies was an investigator/negotiator of competent authority. Hired by the Government. It is left for the government to work on his information and prosecute Gen Ihejirika and others, it is for the court to convict or acquit.

Hired by the Government Chai...diaris...

He should do the needful.

NIGERIA’S SUICIDAL NORTH AND INFIDEL SOUTH.

Ever since the return of democracy to Nigeria in May 1999, Northern Nigeria has become a somewhat suicidal lot. When certain Northern power brokers anointed Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as President in 1999, they envisaged a docile administration where a submissive Southern Christian President protected and preserved the interests of the North. The North here does not include the middle-belt; neither did it include the enlightened Talakawas. No, this so-called North was made up of few individuals, largely Hausa/Fulani Muslims who believed that Nigeria's leadership was their divine right passed on by the legendary Othman Dan Fodio. Thus, as soon as Chief Obasanjo declared his independence from this ‘old North’ by sacking all military officers that had once held political office, the old North knew that they were in trouble.

This old North had for decades considered the Nigerian military as a Northern constituency. They sat back for thirty eight years, watched and relished a status-quo where military rulers from their region rotated power amongst each other with reckless abandon, in the name of 'bloodless' coup. Back then, coups only became 'bloody' when the perpetrators/culprits where non-Muslim Northerners i.e. Christian middle-beltans. Certain individuals from this old North enjoyed plum ministerial appointments, contracts and oil blocks for decades, leaving only residual, harmless or intellectually tasking positions (like minister of information) to ‘southern infidels’. So, when they saw their military politicians being retired from the army by Obasanjo, they knew there was trouble.

By early 2000s, Northern Nigeria fought back by committing its first suicidal act; its group of dethroned power brokers launched the imposition of Sharia in many Northern states. These set of northerners refused to A. recognize Nigeria's secularity and B. remember that apart from maybe Kano and two or three others, every other Northern state in Nigeria has strong indigenous Christian populations. Northern states like Plateau, Nassarawa, Benue, Taraba and Adamawa have near or total Christian majority. In fault-line states like Kaduna, Niger, Bauchi and Gombe, it looks more like a fifty fifty distribution. Recent activities by Boko Haram in Chibok and Gworza areas of Borno state made most Nigerians realize that even in a core Northern state like Borno, its southern fringes are dominated by indigenous Christians. Yet they pressed on with the introduction of Sharia in the entire North; a former military ruler openly supported this move, same leader is now still struggling to win Christian votes in several failed presidential election attempts.

This 'Sharia' move single-handedly sowed suicidal seeds in Northern Nigeria’s social, political and economic structures. These evil seeds were further nurtured in later years to become the cancer we now know as Boko Haram. The introduction of Sharia was meant to unsettle Obasanjo’s administration, but Baba being the strategist that he is looked the other way and allowed those that started the fire to worry about it. Unfortunately, this fire was never quenched, it only mellowed underground for a while waiting to evolve into a volcano eruption-the one we are currently experiencing in form of Islamic insurgency.

During late President Yaradua's final moments, this same Northern cabal made a mockery out of our political institutions, going as far as forging the ailing Presidents’ signature on many occasions. The thought of another ‘Southern infidel’ emerging as President in less than four years was a major nightmare to them. Sadly for this North, their worst nightmare came to pass-Yaradua died, with the help of civil society and a doctrine of necessity another ‘Southern infidel’ emerged as president. Simultaneously, or perhaps in response to this new political order, Boko Haram,a rag-tag organisation known for fighting with machetes, knifes, bows and arrows suddenly began to acquire sophisticated arms, tanks and Hilux jeeps.

Five years and counting, President Goodluck Jonathan has been in the mantle of leadership, even if one does not like this President, the level of negative opposition and venomous attacks he has witnessed and endured will force many objective minds to stand in his defence. It's like witnessing a mob action where former confirmed criminals are the ones unleashing jungle justice on a lesser criminal.

Today, whether we agree or not, President Goodluck Jonathan's most vociferous critics are core Northerners most of whom had tasted power and benefited immensely from past government patronage. This is a fact and unfortunately, this fact alone makes most of their tangible criticisms against the president to appear intangible. Take for example accusations that Jonathan is using Boko Haram to destabilize the North; they could be right, but who started the fire? They've also alleged that former Chief of army staff General Ihejirika is a major sponsor of Boko Haram (thanks to revelations by a hungry white man), again they could be right. However, if the entire social structure and moral values of core Northern Nigeria has depreciated to a level where two Southern Christians can now supply them arms and suicide vests to be used to destroy each other- who then is to be blame?

Who, where are the real Northern leaders? Who is truly responsible for the so-called ‘abject poverty’ that has led many Northern youths into joining Boko Haram, wielding tanks, arms and ammunitions worth millions of Naira? How did a group of Northern illiterates kidnap over two hundred girls in Chibok and for months they've held on to these girls-who’s feeding these girls?

We can keep blaming the federal government and urging them to take more decisive action against the insurgents, but accusing same government of complicity is just plain ridiculous. Whenever Boko Haram strikes, bombs, kidnaps etc, the shame and pressure falls on President Goodluck Jonathan's government. The shame of the missing Chibok girls is still on the Nigerian governments’ head; how then can an incumbent government use its own resources to sponsor activities that bring embarrassment and disrepute to its own administration?

The old North needs to wake up and join the new North in partnership with the rest of the country to fight our common enemy. Yes, there is a New North, many are in the PDP, a few are in the APC and most are not even involved in politics yet. These New Northerners see themselves as Nigerians; they regard their compatriots in the middle-belt and the south as equals. This new North has embraced Agriculture, Tourism and manufacturing as viable ventures that can transform the North and Nigeria in general. Whenever individuals from this new North decide to present themselves for higher national service be rest assured that ALL Nigerians regardless of tribe and religion will rally behind them.

A sad reality is that the set of Northerners currently vying for Nigeria’s top political position against 2015 largely belong to the old suicidal North and therefore can never be fully accepted by ‘the rest of us infidels’. These unpalatable set of old Northerners in normal circumstances should have embarked on self-imposed penance where they concentrate on putting out the fire in their region while grooming fresh Northern young leaders that can engage with their Southern counterparts as equals, working together to build a greater Nigeria.

hmmm

That's exactly what you get when you built your economy on deceit. Hope GEJ and his Economic Team are learning from this sad event in Cediland

A balanced analysis devoid of partisanship

Selfish reasons on the part of politicians more than anything else have denied Nigeria of good amendments to our constitutions.

The current set of politicans can't just be trusted to do a holistic amendments to the current constitution with all it inconsistencies and shortcomings.

Gbam!!!

talktimi:
Ihejirika should be fired

Una no go kill pesin for Nairaland.

Hmmm...

pendy79:
dont you think the MAXIM quite describe you.

counter the fact that your SE enclave is the least populated region in Nigeria, Counter the fact that your brothers run out of your enclave in their thousands everyday in search of the golden fleece in the SW and the North.

Transporters in the West use minibus to move around, but una they pack them in luxurious buses everyday. Haba if your place is productive, you think they will run in their thousands daily?

Am done with you. I have nothing to argue with a person from region of Brown Roof Republic(BRR) and Stomach Infrastructure. Thanks

pendy79:
i dont spew rubbish i speak with facts and figures. Go check the distribution and census figures from inception. go check the numbers of daily exodus from your enclave and compare with people going into the South EAst. INEC just released it voting strength figures, go take a good look at it and educate your empty nut of a head you carry around.

there are daily updates of cries for government help in road and physical infracstructure from your people back home. No rOAD, NO WORK, NO Investement just Baby factory and kidnapping industry.

some of us dont spew rubbish as you claim we come with facts and figures.

pendy79:
My brother arguing with some people from a certain part of Nigeria is like pouring water in a basket and expecting it to get full.

They are trained and tuned to act in auto mode and can be gullible and easily stereotyped to believe whatever message their elites feed them. It should marvel you that their zone is the least developed and least populated in the country because they are quick to pack their bags and baggages to flee the poverty and lack of opportunity prevalent in their land occasioned by the choice of leaders they continually turn up and swallow every gibberish those leaders feed them.

Who in his right senses will compare a buhari and a jonaTAN except someone who is ignorant not ready to seek knowledge and is fed tales by moonlight by his forebears who have taught them to hate and lack objectivity in their reasoning.

Am sure you have not travelled to the East. Do yourself a favour by visiting any of the cities in the Eastern Region before you come online to spew rubbish.

PhockPhockMan:
Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari has
stated that he was aware that Ibrahim
Babangida was planning to overthrow him in
1985.
Buhari, a retired major general and presidential
aspirant on the platform of All Progressives
Congress (APC), told TheCable: “It is true that I
learnt he was planning a coup against me. And I
sat and discussed it with him in my office.
“He brought the news that he went to Kano and
people complained that I pulled a pistol during a
council meeting. I said Ibro ? I called him Ibro
because I was just senior to him by a few
months ? I said whoever wants to sit on this
chair let him come and sit here. And he decided
to do it.”
Reminded that the punishment for coup making
was death and he could have put Babangida on
trial, Buhari told TheCable: “Yes. Remember how
many people he killed subsequently for trying to
overthrow him? But when I came in, there was
no bloodshed. I think a couple of policemen were
killed and [Brigadier Ibrahim] Bako also died in
an ambush.
“But deliberately, nobody was killed. I was in the
front, the real front in the Nigerian civil war. I
had seen enough of death and I know what God
means by human life. Any human being, God
values their life. And anybody who hopes to
meet God, he should be careful about killing.
“When there is law and due process of law took
place, the question is clear. Like the cocaine
convicts that were executed, the decision was
taken in supreme military council.”
