Gooogle: it is really amazing how you think. I asked questions and all you can do is throw abuse which is exactly what PDP thugs do online.

You keep talking of benefits, benefits, benefits.And I really wonder what the benefits are. That someone was made COAS or whatever is a benefit?, yet you have some of the highest rate of illiteracy, kidnapping etc in Nigeria. Benefit to specific individuals is what you claim to be benefits, I am really so ashamed. Well, that is the typical thinking of the Alaba boys, the Upper-Iweka and Aba-brought up children.So much greed, personal purse, what your family gets, what I can get etc. The same issues I have with my cousins.You send something to the, only one person takes it. Nobody ever thinks of the man on the street.
And when you make mention of Ndigbos, who are they. I can only imagine who the leaders are. The same discombobulated shenanigans parading themselves as Igbo Leaders. I voted for APGA during the Imo election because I wanted PDP out and the same APGA managing 2 or more states cant manage its own affairs and you have the impetus to abuse our collective intelligence because you think you are more Igbo than any other person. The masquerades in the name of elders only represent themselves and their families and not you, a common man looking for how to survive. If Rochas says he is moving, then let him move. And you better be ready to swallow some cyanide come 2015 because all these your useless permutation and combination would fall before your very eyes.
You keep shouting Goodluck is your best chance Goodluck is your best foot backward and I am still to see how the number of school drop out in Aba has reduced. Those are things we call benefit. I have traveled ABA road 3 times in the last 2 months and I can only imagine if the place is governed by a monkey or a human being. You need to wash your eyes with JIK so you can see better and get out of this unfortunate situation you have put yourself in. You sound like you fought the civil war without even an idea of what happened.

The bolded is why I maintain that not everybody that claims to be Igbo is Igbo. School dropout, yet Abia is still up there in education. Above alot of Nigerian states. Yes Abia may have an slowpoke as a governor but that cheap shot on Aba people can only be taken by a non-igbo. My friend, you are neither Igbo nor a friend of Igbos. You are Nigerian, and majority of Nigerians are anti-Igbo.

dapotemi: Thanks for ur reply nd for nt using insultive words,in as much as i agree wit som of ur views,i beg to disagree wit others.I am a reguler visitor to d south east and i ws surprise wen you said igbo "fix tins",am sure its jus a tribal statement nd you knw it.Honestly,as small as Abia state is,someone would av tot Uzor kalu nd Theodore Orji wil "fix tins" as you say,right now,THERE IS NO GOVERNANCE IN ABIA.Since 1999,Billions av been accrue to d state nd nothing to show for it,is dat hw to fix tins,is dat hw nig would be fix according to you.Am in Ebonyi nw,a very small lik Ebonyi av no reason to be backward d way it is now,if you av been there,you wil weep.Peter Obi perform some wonders in his first term in Anambra nd we all applauded him nd gave him d second term ticket,Peter Obi has gone to sleep since he started his second term in office.To be Honest,Enugu under Chime seems to be working while Imo under Rochas is also heading to d right direction.But remember dat d former governors in dis states (Nnamani n Ohakim) were also igbo nd i dont tink they "fix anytin" as you say.Dis are probably d pple dat wil be cal to be minister in an Igbo presidency.though Igbo has d right to Presidency as any oda etnic group.All d state Governors in Nig,except mayb few of dem are guilty of dis under-development including d igbo governors,they aren't fixing anytin.Talking abt d status quo,Igbo used to be very radical b4 but dis generation of Igbo seems to be "OK" wit d status quo.IF GEJ continue lik dis nd you dare vote him if there is an option whom is nt frm d south,den ure also guity of d "status quo" scheme.Moreso,from what av also read frm dis thread,it seems my igbo friends believe dat if they voted for GEJ and he makes it to 2019,he will jus HANDOVER the Presidency to an igbo man/woman,Hmmm!even when d VP is nt Igbo.i tink Ndigbo needs to sit nd do some permutations/political calculation.They prefer APGA in d East but also prefer PDP at d center,and you tink PDP wil reward you wit d presidency when you dont evn want their candidate as Governors.Have you eva tot of an APGA candidate winning d presidency,its is possible only if APGA allign wit oda Parties to win d core north,Yet d opportunity present itself on a platter of gold nd we are stil whining.Ndigbo,Pls THINK!God bless.

Those examples you are giving are very mischievious. This are known criminals that we Igbos continuously try to dissociate with. How many people have you heard praise the likes of ohakim. People like ohakim and Theodore orji are there because of INEC, which is a Nigerian institution. Igbos would never and never voted for those clowns that can't construct one meaningful sentence. We are talking about qualified Igbos who will turn the country into an industralised, self-respecting country. And there are a lot of us. non-igbos had their chance and still have a chance to change this entity called Nigeria, but they won't do it. We waited for 50+ years with no change. Maybe they should let us fix it for them, because it is not that hard.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]You must be the biggest of the dulls of all if you believe the 2011 election results where a local government that has less than 200,000 chucked out nearly a million votes Igbos population means nothing to capturing the Presidency in any election.

Let you and your fellow kinsmen continue to deceive yourself while other regions are moving ahead with full steam of good governance. 2015, when PDP is kicked out, your kinsmen will end up having to regret of not joining the moving training. Rochas knows that if He sticks with the mindset of His kinsmen, He will end up like the likes of okadigbos, Ekewumes.

Go tell your kinsmen, stop playing the VICTIM and be a man of your own standing and strategise. Must you people always be lead? Wy can't you people take the lead for once?[/quote]This unholy merger would never be supported by intelligent Igbo people. If you win ok; its not a new thing. But I hope they never win; so that those who have been fixing things can continue to fix things. Nigerians would choose between nepotism and a constructive government.

dapotemi: Have been following dis thread,and am kind of dissappointed wit som of d views,most especially frm my igbo friends.Their thinking is always abt wat is in it(merger) for igbo AND not wat is in it for Nig.Its quite unfortunate for all of us.Even if an igbo man becomes d President today nd he decided to develop d south east,Nig cant stil nt be seen as develop.We need a Nigerian president nd nt a tribal president.Merger or no merger,i tink its too early to argue,as for me, am nt voting for Parties but rather d Candidates.Let us wait nd see d candidates dat APC wil offer Nig.For GEJ,he's an under-achiever for dis last 3 years or so but he stil has abt 2 years,wit Nig nd God on his side,he can stil turn tins around.Remember,God give power to WHOEVER he pleases.God bless Nigeria.

An Igbo president, would do what Igbos know how to do best, fix things. The country would be developed by an Igbo president. Someone like me don't really care much about politics. If we can get to the top of those institutions, that non-igbos have destroyed; we would fix those institutions too. You fail to understand that Nigeria's anti-Igbo stance and nepotism have adverse effects, not only to our living standards; but to our businesses too. We want the police to stop their extortion on the Nigerian highway; mostly down south (south east is most affected by this ish). We want the to feel secure in our country; we don't want northern officers conniving with their boko haram friends to kill our people. We want our children to have access to awesome education, social security, job security; and enjoy their world, the way we never did. For some reason, these Nigerians that you are talking about, are comfortable with the status quo. We Igbos are not and we want to fix things. I have come to understand, that our expectations in life are very different. One part of Nigeria wants a high powered competitive nation, the other a conservative nation, and the other an isalmic nation.

Wallie: I don't really have the information or facts to tell you who OBJ killed and did not kill in Odi. If you have information or facts to show that a lot of innocent people, and not those armed, where intentionally killed don't you think it would be prudent to share the same with international news organizations?

I'm not naive enough to think that extrajudicial killings did not occur in Odi, like it is currently occurring in North in the pursuit of Boko Haram, but at what scale? Do you have facts to show the scale and not just opinions and rumors, which can be used to bring him to justice?

By the way, I'm a supporter of no one! I'm a supporter policies that work with results to show.

Go to odi and tell me why you should raze down a whole village to catch a couple of militants. The eye witnesses and the colossal mess left behind by the rampaging Nigerian Army (sent by OBJ) should be enough proof for any sane and real "Nigerian". So we should expect another round of excuses and denials from Yorubas, in defense of OBJ. Tufiakwa

You don't hear Easterners complaining about the ALMAJIRI begging epidemic in the east. I swear, beggars would be routinely killed in both awsaland and yorbaland, if the reverse was the case. When we keep quiet, It doesn't mean you're faultless; we are just kind people. Is that a crime? Igbo haters learn!!!

blocker: IGBO BOY I DIG YOUR PHRASE "OFE MMANURISTIC TENDENCIES"...HAHAHAHAHA I DON LEARN NEW ONE. ANYWAY NO ONLY ARMY DEM KNOW AS TO COMPLAIN BUT COMPLAIN ABOUT DOMINATION IN THE MARKET, BANKS, GDP CONTRIBUTION, THE MEDIA, SCHOOLS THE IDIOT SHEIK NO WAN COMPLAIN NA ARMY HIM SEE, NAVY NKO?



NA NORTHNERS DOMINATE BEGGING EVEN ON OUR SOUTHERN STREETS STILL WE NO COMPLAIN. FROM THAT ALMS WEN PEOPLE DEY GIVE THEM TO THE OIL MONEY WEN DEM DEY WAK I CAN CALL THEM THE MOST DEPENDENT PEOPLE IN THIS FIX CALLED NAIJA... PARASITIC IF YOU LIKE.

LOL

Since when did we start listening to colonial criminals like lugard. Really? Is this how slow some people can be?

What kind of political jabajantis do these people want to play. We have seen too many of these scenarios play out. Upgrade. Play a better game.

The truth is that most of us would prefer APGA to remain APGA and not join any mega party. Why would anybody look at parties like CPC and ACN and ask APGA to join those loosers. Really?

Ya gazie. CHUKWU ga azo ALAIGBO!

So the moderator is happy that they are mocking our dead. But he/she is angry that I am saying a prayer for the dead. Really?

[quote author=Blue-eyed boi]...Long may you live wise one..[/quote]Ya gazie

jp philips: help you because you are a destitute or you are struck by leprosy? how do you mean help you??

I don't want to insult anybody this morning. But if you are retarded, stay the f**ck out of the Internet. Isn't it all your western friends that always claim to be "helping" Africa. I am just telling them to keep their aids. But to stop doing funny business with corrupt individuals in Africa. We would red tag all of them. It can not be like this forever.

fkaz: And the present clueless leader cannot prosecute him, if true.

How can he prosecute him, when that mo.ro.n has teeming supporters like you. What do you mean if true? Very soon you people would start denying this one like you denied awolowo's crimes.

nagoma: Primitive people . Who is Chukwu? A spare parts dealer or a drug courier?

Useless slave. This is why foreigners would suck you like crayfish until you are no more. Beware of the wrought of CHUKWU, be very careful.

LOL AT OBJ enabled a middle class. What arrant nonsense. Only a matter of time. Watch out 2013/2014.

We Igbos have sacrificed a lot for these ungrateful ba.sta.rds. Look at the military that they controlled, it is in near comatose condition. We are at risk of a foreign invasion, all because of the unfounded hatred of the Igbo. You have condemned yourselves to crippling poverty and destitution, all because of the fear of Igbo domination. Now all those institutions that you have cornered for your tribes, because of your small mindedness, are all in comatose. At the end of everything, we all suffer (including us Igbos). Police, Army, PHCN, NUPENG, and virtually all civil service positions are controlled by you. Look at their services and tell yourselves the truth. Are you satisfied?

nagoma: This is a tribal issue. It is purely an Igbo affair. Igbos don't give a damn about Christians if you are not Igbo. It is an Igbo agenda and must be treated as such everyone else is affected.

Old tricks. Keep doing it. It might work. Most Nigerians are stupid. This time there would be no agreement with Igbos and any other groups, to avoid backstabbing (at least in strategic issues). Everybody on his own. Those who like war, may they be visited by war. It can never be one sided again. Ozoemenna. He who lives by the sword, shall perish by the sword. KELE CHUKWU

souldust: and for those that are saying the north has dominated the army for lalala years. Well let me tell you that those that have dominated the army are not really Hausa Fulani like you think. They have been those in the north central. The ones you call middle beltern and have refused to recognise as "core north"

but that aside. Lets not talk like the exclusion of the igbos from the military for much of our history cannot be justified. In the military, there are two watch words: respect and loyalty. You cannot be sure of these two words in sessionists! Yes there was a reintergration programme but you do not expect a rapid change in the military. And this, you know down in your heart, is true.

Yes this secessionists are saying that you either do things the right way, and allow qualified "Nigerians" to manage the army and other institutions, or they go ahead and have their own country. You choose!!!

nagoma: The Igbos can never provide honest leadership wherever they find themselves. [b]Their rise fr ok primitive culture to civilization with no natural development is commendable [/b]but it denied them the sense of social mutual existene and code of ethics. They will always cheat. Ihejirika is only 2 years in that position but his Igbo genes are telling him that he must fill all th positions with Igbos. The same with the immigration lady Who wanted to convert the Nigerian immigration service into Biafran immigration service. All the other Igbo people in position behave in the same way. Those who are not in position will courier drugs and kidnap other people- anything illegal and antisocial they are there. This army scandal is affecting all other non Igbo Nigerians not just the north. When you read the details you will see that more yorubas are adversely affected by this ihejirika's nepotism. They can shout , they can scream, but we must get to the bottom of it. If the country is to be divided so be it and let's do it in peace. South for SOUTHERNERS and north for NORTHERNERS . It is a continuation of their Jan 1966 plans.

Igbo tradition/religion is the richest in the whole world. Igbo social consciousness is centuries ahead of any other civilization on earth. Igbo astrology is the most advanced yet. Igbo natural mode of education is years ahead of the currently used ones in Nigeria. Igbo ancient arts and culture span centuries, and are very beautiful. Igbo writing system is still in use in arts and decorations, and is currently being modernized to be used in formal education. Igbo literature are popular in the world. Igbo musicians are one of the world's greatest. Igboland scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. Igbo sportsmen have all left indelible marks in a lot of sports. Igbo fought for your independence. Igbo fought to remove you from slavery. Igbo built a lot this institutions that you are trying so hard to keep them away from. But you have no culture of your own, no education of your own, no mind of your own, no religion of your own. When I see you, though we share a country, all I can think of is the koran. You don't want to think, you dont want to be successful, you don't want to be free. Your religion has made you a slave of it. And a slave to those who control the religion (arabs). Repent and bow to CHUKWU

Maple: What are u afraid of brother; that should there be another civil war your side would loose again?

You know this is an impossibility now. The only thing we are trying to do is to reduce casualties from our side. Nigeria would cease to exist and we would hand you slaves over to the west and Arabs for proper management.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]nzeogwu stood up and got igbos massacred
ironsi stood up and lost his life
ojukwu stood up and sent million igbos to grave
then,
ojukwu returned and knelt for shagari
he again knelt for ibb.

yet......where are the results of your standing and kneeling?[/quote]haha nice try

shagari visited Ojukwu
IBB visited Ojukwu
All of them came to see Ojukwu and ask for his favour.
Nzeogwu lost his life, but pratically stopped a form of slavery; which the pinks, with connivance of hausa/fulani/yorober/Nigerian elites, were planning for your likes. This might have been a test model. It failed woefully, and they all panicked. Nzeogwu is an unsung African hero. The definition of bravery in Igboland. Live and die, with dignity. Ironsi is also a great man, a man brave enough to sorround himself with his probable murderers, just to show his commitment to equity and lasting peace. The only mistake these people made, is their failure to see a devil in their conspicuously jealous neigbours and fellow naijiriyans. Even when the jealousy was too obvious. We won't make that mistake again.

Wallie: Chris, this is not about playing the blame game but GEJ owns whatever ever happens during his tenure be it success or failure. It’s just the way it is. The captain of a ship remains the captain when the sea is calm or during a thunderstorm. You can only pray that during your tenure as a captain, you do not encounter thunderstorm.

To specifically address your question, GEJ deployed JTF but he’s responsible for their success or failure because he literally controls them. By virtue of his office, he’s the commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces. He appoints people he trusts to sensitive positions to advice him and to act on his orders, including the armed forces.

When Nigeria loses a football game against an opponent that should have beaten with their eyes closed, who do you blame? The coach.

Why is that? Because he’s responsible for choosing the players on the field and strategizing how to deal with an opponent. You do not lay blame at the opponent’s coach because he had advised his team to play rough. It is the coach’s job to make sure his team wins and to equip them with whatever they need to do so.

The other question you asked is what he can do differently.
1. Address the core issues why someone would rather choose death over life.
2. Stop negotiating with terrorist because they’ll only become bolder the next time
3. Give them a reason to choose life.
4. Be decisive
5. Form a terrorism task force because terrorism is now part of Nigerian life and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Ultimately, the long term solution is to stamp out corruption. If not for corruption, the billions of dollars made over the years should have developed the North and the Niger Delta region! If not for corruption and/or incompetence, Nigerians should not have to carry arms just to be heard!

Give people reasons to value their life and they’ll almost certainly ignore the government as a whole. It is only when they don’t know where the next meal is coming from or they do not see a future for them or their family that they risk it all for they have NOTHING to lose! How can you kill someone that’s already dead? By making him undead!

By virtue of OBJ's office, he killed all the people in odi. Why is he still walking free, with a lot of ever teaming supporters like you.

[quote author=jas_o]Majority of those who make no sense here are Igbo! This ethnic is something else in this entity call Nigeria. I'm speaking from experience and i have all facts to say this.
When Obj was in power his finance minister and CBN governor were Igbo, but immediately you have Igbo blood in the name of Azikwe we started having otherwise. This is more reason the race has long being denied opportunity to rule because they’re too tribal. This habit must be check and corrected if this race must move forward, it’s excessive and inimical.[/quote]If Igbos are tribal, Nigerians are?
My friend go and take your medicine.
