gratieao: You are a foolish man. May ebola Togo strike u there.
Cowardly son of a grave digger

gratieao: You should have use your long epistle to caution the fulanis who started the killing.

Symphony007: a man who said with his own mouth that the reason nigeria cannot govern themselves is due to tribalism, the same man went on to institute that tribalism. Using that tribalism to assure his region a permanent governing majority. How do you think that country will survive. He created what he hypocritical preached against. If the independence constitution allocated equal number of seats to all region and all regional and tribal parties, NPC, AG, NCNC had to canvass the country for votes knowing that only their region can't win them elections, they have to create coalitions. Would'nt that have fostered unity in a divided nation. Rather you give the middle finger to the south and say our northern votes will always gives us a majority so we don't even need to campaign.

Symphony007: the man was a bloody hypocrite!! He knew that the bain of nigeria's problem is tribalism!!! Who will rule if the nation becomes independent. That is what he meant by part of that quote. If that was his problem could'nt he have come together and forged a fair and balanced governance structure with the other regions? Rather, he made back room deals with the british who gave his region a higher population than others COMBINED. Thereby giving him more seats in the parliament and his party the NPC a permanent governing majority. During that election walter cronkite of CBS news interviewed him in his house in sokoto. He was asked why he is not campaigning around the country like azikiwe and awolowo. He said he does'nt need to. He has all the votes in the north to keep power for as long as he wants. He laughed at awolowo who was using helicopters to drop leaflets in northern cities like kano, he said he was wasting his time, his party, AG won't get a single northern vote. So this hypocrite perpetuated the reason he claims nigeria cannot govern itself. Stunning!!!

Symphony007: you will be because you are the real mediocre. It is perfectly understandable if he believes nigeria cannot govern itself due to the tribal divisions but is the solution to be ruled indefinitely by the british? Then, there were people canvassing for a divided nation...would'nt that have been a better solution to our tribal nation? So because of tribalism the british would have continued ruling us? For how long? When would they have magically made us brotherly nations and left? 1970? 1980? 1990? 2005? 55 years as a nations and we have'nt been able to conquer our tribalism and you believe if the british had stayed with us a little longer everything would have been better. Pathetic!!

Symphony007: When asked if he thinks nigeria should be independent, this is what Ahmadu bello, the then most powerful man in the north and leader of the NPC had to say.

"Self government for nigeria could only be demanded when it's meaning was fully understood by the masses of the country with things in their present state in nigeria. The northern region does not intent to accept an INVITATION TO SUCIDE"

This is how low he thought of nigeria and our ability to govern ourselves, yet upon independence he and his party dominated a government thy never believed in. He and his party were british stooges. No wonder he and tafawa balewa were british "knights" while azikiwe and awolowo were'nt. I saw this quote recently and it really disturbed me and gave me a glimpse of the genesis of nigeria's problems.

maestroferddi: Nigeria, funny country! The fear of impeachment is the beginning of wisdom for many a cantankerous governor.

aguiyi: Test run from were to were pls, I just returned from station road and still wondering why I will join a train from UTC and highlight at Lagos bus stop.

Time when I go take climb up go enter the monorail don reach taxi to carry me reach and come back.


How will that train pass mile 1 flyover, how will it pass CFC, Garrison and others or is it ikwerre road that it will pass to greater port harcourt.

If so, why is Amaechi not completing the demolition and payment of necessary compensation if he want the next gov to complete this project or he is using that as an escape route to apportion blame when he finally leaves office

Desric: Still making plenty rants to create an unnecessary and irrelevant tension out of nothing since the parties involved have made the whole botched up plan look too common and normal instead of making it a heated media issue and desperate debates as planned by their Aso Rock instigators,

Firstly it was in Ekiti state and Dr. Fayemi intelligently subdued the tension as if nothing happened by conceding defeat, now it is Nyako and same thing happened, probably pained by the newly recruited kobo kobo e-rants of the PDP as their job is obviously been rendered useless by the unexpected mature statesmanly reactions of both Nyako and Fayemi, in the bid to make themselves relevant, they are now bringing up topics and write ups to provoke maybe an unwarranted argument from the public but the people are more civilised and mature to join issues with some jobless youths misplacing their priorities rather than use their God given talents for more productive activities that will benefit the society.

activatenigeria: Are you that hurt because Ali Modu Sheriff defected? Well, its a good thing for PDP because APC is losing valuable members to them due to lack of internal democracy , mind you this is politics, no party has the right to reject anybody who for some reason decides to join them, forget your assumption about the multi million dollar foreign PR crap, there is no such thing as propaganda here, we are just stating the obvious, was it not the same Nyako that once called GEJ and the FG names that now constantly visits The Villa seeking for intervention to rescue him from impeachment? to you there is nothing wrong with that, abi? The hard fact is that APC is gradually losing momentum and relevance, the earlier you accept that fact the better you.Very soon Buhari and Tinubu or ('Tinubu" if you like) will be the only ones left in the party.

Mynd_44: The office of the Central Bank Governor is not a ministerial appointment. It is one that involves a 4 year term which a candidate is endorsed by the president and confirmed by the senate. A minister on the other hand can be fired anytime and retired but not the CBN governor.

GEJ cannot issue him a sack letter, it is impossible and void. If you want a CBN governor out, you need the president and 2/3 of the senate else, he stays.
