Well done Jide.

I can't believe how despicable some people are. Really?

The chickens have come home to roost.

Abia State government up till now have not tidy up Aba, why? What does it take? Such an enterprising city have suffered terribly by being abandoned by successive governors including Ukwa_Ngwa man in power now. Why?

LLobiorah:
As ambitious as he's, I'm pretty sure he won't be a Judas to betray the common good of his people like the 'well known betrayers do'. He's gonna be doing just fine like he did in this 'ruga issue'.

God's willing. Finger crossed.

LLobiorah:
Even if they are not united for anything, at least on this 'ruga issue', you read how united they were. Quit anticipating that Dave would be a sell out; so far so good, he has done well as SE governor's forum leader.

Yes, he is trying I agree. I pray he doesn't sell out in any matter that concerns Igbo's common interest just because of political ambition. We can't afford it.

He should take it further and unite the SE towards development and fight against poverty. He is capable of doing this if he wants.

No he should keep on comparing Bayelsa and Kano.

Nigeria need unifying leader at this juncture not a divisive one. He should tame the tide of insecurity in the country before it becomes uncontrollable.

Do we have a president in this country. What does Miyetti Allah mean by herdsmen defending yourself from ethnic militia. Who are the ethnic militia?

LLobiorah:
Dave no dy warm up to the north oga. Since this ruga stuff, you don hear am say anything otherwise wey go affect alaigbo?

I hope so. He has great potentials but sometimes it takes abit of time to know where exactly he stands in sensitive national issues. He is leader of SE governors forum. I thought by now SE should have united for common development but the leaders are not working together. Bickering over frivolities.

Whiteangel1234:
Go and sit down oga
Dave have stand against RUGA openly than even Anambra Governor have you hear Obiano talk ?

I am sitting down sir. Seems Umahi and Obiano are in competition, I didn't know. But both are politicians with duality. You don't know where they stand or what they believe. Thank God Dave did the needful on RUGA.

PrecisionFx:
Umahi has completely rejected RUGA. He owes u nothing.

Thank God he did at last.

igwefivestar:
pls do not drag His Excellence the executive governor of Ebonyi State into ur opinion for now he is the best thing to happen to ebonyians

I agree he is the best thing that has happened to Ebonyi State so far but that doesn't mean he is not an ambitious man, which is equally good. Just that he doesn't need to agree on everything to please the North in hope of future payback.

Almost two months gone and the President doesn't deem it fit to appoint ministers to such a complex entity called Nigeria. Na wa ooo! His former military days and styles is rubbing on him. We are in doldrums. Just existing like that...no push, no move!

SEN Kalu and Governor of Ebonyi State, both seemingly have a future interest of presidential aspirations or vice president ship. That's why their tone of language and actions are towards warming up to the northerner by aligning to any of their perceived interest.

Please we don't want war! It will worsen things.

Discussions, conversations, debate, dialogue and peaceful demonstration is enough... Time will process all if we are patient enough.

It would have been something else unimaginable! Whatever we have learnt today to advance ourselves technically and intellectually is via western education. If we have not encountered the missionaries we could have been century time backward. That’s the reality!

luxy44:
Ibos love to deceive themselves, feeling like they know how to do business. There type of business is the reason the economy is not growing

They keep saying they have businesses abroad, i live in Europe, i don't know where the businesses are here. Yea they travel to China for substandard commodities and bring them to Nigeria to sell. What is igbo man business in Malaysia?? Lol

I smelt jealousy in your writeup. Most Igbos business are mainly micro to medium scaled. And every economy in the world needs this kind of business. Igbos produce/manufacture locally and as well import. It all depends on dynamics of govt policies. Recently, it is becoming cheaper to import than manufacture bc of cost coming from lack of electricity. Igbos make available all choices for you but you will mostlyprefer imported. Even Nigeria govt like imported cars too!

Asari talkam as e be! British will say "bang on!" it is also expository essay to those other Nigerians who know little or nothing about Igbos business dynamics. It is highly competitive.

Say it louder so that the ones at the back will hear! Only us can emancipate ourselves from slavery of poverty. And it has to be done collectively with one mind. Escaping to foreign country doesn't necessarily solve the problem, instead it prolonged the solution. May be we are not properly wired to think developmentally and innovatively as the oyibos has, and always done. We don't ask questions to leaders but just worship them as if they are different beings. In fact the matter tire me.

The man was not talking sense at all.
And he is the CJN.

Some people didn't understand what Prof Soyinka meant in his rebuttal of the Nation newspaper.

"erosion of Buhari achievement", for him there is no achievement in the first place, talk more of eroding it.

He is being sarcastic in the denial of the report.

Deadlytruth:
Doing the first item on your list will automatically bring about all the other nine.

Seek ye first restructuring and every other thing will begin to fall into place on their own.

For example, if we return to the pre May 24 1966 structure when each region sourced for her own revenue, no region or state will waste hard earned revenue on an economically wasteful venture like pilgrimage sponsorhip. Availability of free unerned funds is the reason why all the problems you see persist.

Yes, you are correct.

Prompto:
What Nigeria need to do first is fish out those that truncated the confederal system of govt in place in 1966. Their entire household dead or alive should be made to pay the ultimate price for others to learn then I may consider every other foolish point you made.

Skipping punishment for the fools that truncated what earned Nigeria “giant of Africa” is a no no for all well meaning Nigerians except for sentimental bigots that want to eat their cake n still have it.

Good point. Go and get them from the graves. And yes, there are still few of them alive, in fact two prominent ones from middle belt, ex Generals, you know them go and get them. It's time you wake up from depravity of sanity caused by blindness of heart. The cure is simply "light", allow light into your heart. Think forward and not backward.

Nigeria will continue to struggle until the citizens does the needful. Below is ten things I think Nigeria needs to do to normalise itself back to reckoning as Africa Super Power.

1. Restructure Nigeria to pre 1966 structure or even a finer one, to allow each major ethnic blocks or groups stronger control of itself while the center controls national security etc

2. Start to enforce the law regardless of anyone's status. It is one of the most important.

3. Promote an image of a new Nigeria that we want to be seen as, just like Rwanda is doing, and sustain it.

4. Enforce accountability and zero tolerance to corruption at any level, and blaze the trail.

5. Stop govt sponsorship of religious prigmages. It should be a private affair and remain so. I don't like when govt openly sponsors prigmages. Why?

6. Start massive breathtaking infrastructure development in Nigeria and encourage regions to compete. Enforce orderliness in development.

7. Push for huge Agricultural development towards self food sustenance. Each region to contribute immensely

8. Push for massive industrialization driven by private sector towards made in Nigeria products with competitive quality.

9. Take Education to practical and unprecedented level, driving research and development to great stage unseen in Africa. Emphasis on artificial intelligence to be harnessed.

10. Professionalise the military, police, customs, immigration and civil servants with massive purge of the bad ones.

If we do all these, believe you me, other things will fall in place.

Good! You have spoken for yourself and may be for your family but not for the whole Igbos. OUK is aiming for something big and would want to be seen as agreeable with North.

Balkan:
I don't think that is Lagos, It could be one of the African countries.
But I think the Biafra and Igbo factor is the reason the Fulanis have not taken over Nigeria
Hate Igbos or like them, they are the check and balance of the country Nigeria

Remove the Igbo factor and see everybody a Muslim in Nigeria

You make sense die. It would have been easier to conquer and dominate if not for Igbos opposite stance.

Kai! The comedy never stops.

Who is the president of Nigeria.

unknownsolja:
yes its a spiritual thing and for my own case then i carry am for head and i hated ayess with passion for no reason..lol and i even train well so as to get physical ruggedity..i tell you cultism is a spirit and only those involved can understand because once the spirit leaves you that is it,i dont even mix with guys anymore and i look the other way even if i see my so called former bird brothers and [/b]the only way to defeat cultism is to shun everything that brings you to them like drinking,smoking and moving to another state[b],i was in a restaurant back then and i noticed everyone in the restaurant were all eiye men,i did not relate and all i did was eat my food and walk out,cultism is spiritual because all the jojos we used to sing are all evil..imagine singing and be happy about killing your fellow nigerian in the name of colours and cultist are cowards because we cant even fight against the oppression from our own government..las las cultism is evil and it kills

You make sense die. The boldened is a very good point.

Princeofnigeria:
God bless you and you’ll will surely live long let’s all join hands to try to convince as many not to thread the path of untimely death

[/b]I think it’s time for people to start enlightening youth using tv stations,radio and internet to tell of the danger of cultism.[b]

I can vividly tell you that %80 of those involved are regretting each passing seconds looking for a way out

Good idea.

A country with the most greedy and lazy politicians playing chess with the life and destiny of confused, gullible and poverty-stricken citizens. When will it end?

TheMainMan:
everyone just wants to react

im not sure if it was unilorin he attended but he has never denied he was once a cultist

from what i heard he could have bn killed with other cultists but he was saved because he was sent to buy cigarette

people need to rest and let this matter go to court

even the accuser haven't said anything since... nigerians are so easy to play

Don't see it that way. All these information builds up to knowledge of who he was, and what he has done or capable of. He may have reconciled with God but he has not restituted to the victims, that's why all these accusations is coming up. Being transformed to be a pastor but still indulges in those old things means old habits seldom dies.

There are couple of these pastors that their lifestyles alone gives out about who they truly are, but who am I to judge
