SalamRushdie:
the biggest fraud is happening in the shrouded Fuel subsidy regime Buhari is running that has seen seen daily petrol consumption rise from 24 million litres a day to over 50 million litres a day in just 3 years

That and the forex scam. Imagine selling Forex to his family and cronies at the rate of 305, while they will go on and do round tripping at the black market for 360.
Nigerians should vote in Buhari again to finish the job of destroying the economy. Make we see which people go cry pass.

Carlyscales:
Then he should buy the keystone Bank the right price n the right way naaa!

Shameless lots

Why do you bother? Dig deep you will find out that Funtua's group was deep shît in debt and couldn't stay afloat until Buhari became president.
Buba Galadima knows what he was saying.

SalamRushdie:
the macabre acquisition of Keystone bank and 9 mobile by Buharis cabal member Issa Funtua will go down in history as the most corrupt action overseen by AMCON ever and to try to absolve Buhari from it will be resisted by all smart people because when Buhari appointed his friends son inlaw as the boss of AMCON to do exactly just that

Imagine replacing Chike Obi with some dull person. This country isn't going anywhere but backwards.

NL and bad mouth.

Why not restrict those commenting on Christian threads, just as it is done in the Muslim threads?

Happy new year NL.

What about the NIGERIAN SOLDIERS who died or are injured? Charity begins at home.

Amazing how people don't want Buhari'w government criticized over BHT

babzlim:
That means it all makes know sense to me... Now I see the reasons we ain't moving forward in the east... Sea port we don't have, investors ain't coming in ordinary international Airport we no gree put am to work, picking just one leader from the east wahala.

I am proudly Osu and I think am enjoying it becos things just keeps working the way u want it... been OSU is fun my brother. You original citizens should go and put ur asses together.

Sea ports, international airport. .. etc are purely political matters.

That's why its good to speak up on time about evil no matter on who's door it is knocking.
This ageless poem by Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) comes to mind :


First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

#IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW#

Exactly my thought. When the came for the IPOB, in simple terms Igbos resident in the east, everyone shut up.
Nigeria enjoy the Change.

Balyz:
In my eyes osu exists only in the minds of some demented ibos. No human being was born inferior to another

Ideally, that is the truth. All Humans are born Equal.
But, in reality you will agree with me that some humans are born more equal than the others. That is why we have the Royals, the Rulers, Those born into Wealth and Royalty. The slaves. The servants. The 'ordinary' citizens.
NB
This is the reality. We can think of the IDEAL world, but an IDEAL world is not achievable.

babzlim:
What that means is it doesn't have any effect either spiritually, physically or sycholocally, is that right?

None that I ever heard of. But, you and your linage will be stigmatized.

lexy2014:
I honestly don't no what ur argument is about but pls compare ur last sentence with d highlighted in my first sentence in my first post that u earlier responded to:

"It will definitely take time but I believe that there are "rebels" among Igbos who don't buy this OSU thing. These set of people will go on living on what they believe not on what traditional rulers do. These are d folks who will bring d real change"

I agree with you to an extent. But your summation makes it sound as if these rebels are going to bring these changes in no distant time.
Of course nothing lasts forever, not even the Osu Caste System. But people should understand that what the Igbo chiefs did is just a first step that may take at least two more generations before the result can be seen.
Peace bro.

Painted Sepulcher.

Balyz:
I am not ibo but if per chance I fall in love with a fine osu chick, no force on earth can stop me from marrying her. What the hell is Osu? You mean in this day and age we can tolerate a caste system in our cultures? Rubbish! If the gods have 16 heads let them curse me make I see

The stigmatizing is less when you are not Igbo. That's why the Osus prefer marrying outside Igbo land.

babzlim:
Could u pls tell me the implications of getting married to an osu?.

If a 'freeborn' marries an 'osu', the freeborn automatically becomes an Osu. And him/her linage is automatically termed Osu.
That's why it's dreaded in Igbo land.

lexy2014:
Yes, real change. Since d traditional institutions with d influence of d govt are beginning to put aside this inhuman tradition aside, then it will b easier 4 people to interact with themselves without d OSU burden.

Let's not prolong this argument.
First question, are you Igbo?
Second question, do they practice the Osu caste system from your part of Igbo land?
Thirdly, will you seek parental consent before marrying your spouse. If yes, will you allow your people to ask questions 'iju ase' before marrying?
We can continue this argument once you are able to provide the answers to the above.
A little story:
I once met an old school friend on a journey back to the east from Lagos. We got talking and he revealed to me that the reason for his journey is to convince his dad one last time to give his blessings to his intended marriage to his Osu girlfriend. I sympathized with him and asked him what he will do if his father refuses to give his blessings. He said he will simply go ahead and marry his girl in court and leave the country with her.
Already his father told him that he will cease being his son and will have no relationship with any family members if he tows that path. On the other hand his girls father withheld his own blessings stating that he will only bless their union if the guys father agrees to the union.
NB
I wish that the Osu caste system will end in Igbo land. But let's be realistic it may never happen in this generation or even the next.

lexy2014:
It will definitely take time but I believe that there are "rebels" among Igbos who don't buy this OSU thing. These set of people will go on living on what they believe not what traditional rulers do. These are d folks who will bring d real change

Real Change?
The Osu caste system has defied so many changes including Christianity. Those rebels who will marry 'known' Osu will do well to be living their lives far from people who know about Osus.
Thank God where I come from, we don't have it.

Osagyefo98:
The traditional rulers should marry osu first then we can follow....

they should marry first...they don't want to bring curse upon themselves but they want others to.

You day mind them... after the media abolition, I want to see one of the traditional rulers encourage his son or daughter to marry an Osu. That's only when people will take them serious.

bizzibodi:
Leave hate go & read history austerity & hyperinflation, started during Shagari regime.

History?
You should be the one reading history. During Shagari's regime, there was too much money in the system. Buhari came with his anti corruption mantra just like he did recently and sent the economy into recession.
Do you think that it's a coincidence that the two times the bigot ruled Nigeria happened to be the times witnessed recessions?

bizzibodi:
Only "Feet"what of hand✋

Obviously a typo. I meant to write 'feat'.

See achievement

bizzibodi:
RIP!Althy his cluelessness lead us into 1983- 1984 recession.

Buhari's cluelessness led us into that recession, just as he has repeated that feet in 2016-2017

He was the man Buhari overthrew and gave him house arrest, while jailing his vice president Ekwueme in prison.
Does that even make sense?

iamJ:
we have to keep up the fight, they are paid to do this, they signed up for it, if you dont want to be in such situations, dont fill the form, simple


those miscreants from the yeast will soon come and blame buhari for this

You will rather Jonathan was blamed.

baliyubla:
How did BHT get to the stage of rounding up over 2000 of our troops like chickens? The dullard must resign now. There might be no Nigeria by 2019 when the dolt is eventually voted out.

Superior intelligence
Superior tactical maneuver
Superior fire power

That means the allegations from atiku's camp is true.

Either I am blind or Fashola is an incorrigible liar

Never had Nigeria and Nigerians been so divided on tribal politics.

Osibanjo a pastor playing the ethnic division card. The North will just be laughing at the south.

tysontim:
Who do u think made his in law?
The fact is with chima in reps the whole Bende is on lock down for ouk

Ekeoma worked for years and retired from CBN,, go figure. Enough of argument on this.

Hedonini:
OUK made him 1 million percent. Forget extra story.

That is the falsehood everyone wants to believe. His sister's husband Ekeoma, made him. He was linked with OUK, when he got into a relationship with his daughter. But, at the end the relationship failed. That's why today Chima can comfortably stay in PDP,, and seek for the house of rep position, while OUK,, is in APC.

Hedonini:
You're as confused as wetin again. How can he have no ties to politics "b4" , though his entire existence, fame and fortune is tied to his link with a very corrupt POLITICIAN called Orji Uzor Kalu?

OUk.. Didn't make Chima Anyaso. Irrespective of what people want to say.
