When the book of power abuse and corruption in Nigeria is opened, surely his case would be treated.
Don't rush it. It will surely come even if he retires.

I thought Okupe was saying before, that they'll never hand over to GMB.
When the masses speak it's like the voice of god. Okupe et'al, go and sin no more!

Nice try!

Nice one.Let us all embrace peace and work together as one nation.

Superb write up by Mr Segun! In life, there are some lessons that are only learnt through the hard way.

I pity GEJ because he left himself too loose to be controlled like marionette by terrible people around him.

An Igbo adage says 'a stubborn fly follows the corpse to the grave' and 'a grasshopper killed by the praying mantis is only but stiff-necked'.

But the good side of it, is that it's unimaginable for an African leader to concede defeat. GEJ is the only first and have, sort of, redeemed himself.

Good move by the corp members. Do remember that when you fight corruption it will surely fight back.
Like play, like play...this might get to the notice of GMB and the proprietor would be smoked out.

When (and not if) GMB starts probing, he should make sure it covers from 1983 till date.
GEJ should not be singled out alone but OBJ, IBB, ABACHA, etc

OP I'm sure you mingle with the wrong set of people. How did you arrive at 78% illegal immigrants abroad?

I know lots of professionals across various spheres working and running businesses that when you see them you're proud of being Nigerian. And they visit Nigeria quite often. Do you know the number of flights that leave for Nigeria daily from London and vice versa?

I personally visit Nigeria at least twice yearly cos I have a running business back home and also family there. Besides, all the reasons you gave are basically negative and could stem from the fact that either you're in the wrong circle which you need to change or you're unfortunate in the choice of people you meet.

And please don't say 78% when you don't know. So you met them and they told you they're illegal immigrants

Oga, He simply said some of the reasons many fails to come back home after many years abroad is dash,dash dash. He is not saying that all Nigerians doesn't come back home or that all Nigerians does menial job. NO!
You are excluded in any of the category mentioned because you visit home regularly. And the OP is not far from the truth about what keeps many Nigerians away from home. Only that the quoted percentage is debatable since there is no source to it.

NOT TRUE!

Unbelievable! How can boredom be cured by killing a human being?

Human life is now so cheap...

Pathetic and sad!

Pls can someone clarify me. ''Will MARKETS open today ''? Cause someone just told me that market will not open today , so that campaign will end well. i just took today off work to stuff my house.

The wife should say the truth...

This is one big problem I have with GEJ...always defending the corrupt and unscrupulous just for political expedience.
Why is this a habit? Why?

chillingbabe:
It is VERY VERY TRUE...An anambra guy can date you and have a successful relationship with you but when it comes to marriage, he's DEFINATELY gonna marry a gal from his state..IT IS SOOOOOOO TRUE...It is very difficult for an anambra guy to marry a gal dats not from his state..
If you're not from anambra DON'T bother dating a guy from there, only if u wanna have fun..
As for me, once I hear Anambra, I RUN!! #NoTimeToWaste

Stop deceiving yourself and people with such myth and stereotype.

See all your words in capital letter are simply deceitful.

Don't stop running anyway when no one is pursuing you...

Igbo bashing has become quite a common thing in Nigeria such that it has become normal to bash Igbo on every single thing, even on things that are meaningless.

You created this thread to ask why Igbo prefer to marry from their tribe. Are you really serious? This is a question you opened this thread for looking for 'answers'? Would you have opened this very thread in the first place had a Yoruba or Hausa guy been the one who preferred to marry from their tribe? Yes or No? Why would a Yoruba parent reject a non-yoruba suitor, and that will not be an issue. In fact, such action is justified. A Hausa parent will do the same and no dust will be raised about it. But when an Igbo parent does the same, then its a big deal. It is a serious issue that calls for serious attention and criticism, then you begin to get tags like ''Igbos are 'tribalistic'', 'they are 'selfish'', it is an 'Igbo problem' e.t.c. Minor issues that aren't issues when done by other tribes become a serious issue when Igbo is involved.

I look around me, majority Ibibios marry within the Ibibio tribe, majority Hausas marry within Hausa, Yoruba within Yoruba, why should the Igbo marrying within themselves even be a question in the first place? Despite the level of inter marriage between whites and blacks here in the US, majority whites marry within whites, chinese within chinese, blacks within blacks, and you're going to sit there and tell me that it is a problem when Igbos prefer to marry Igbos?? Like seriously??

I get your point about love being the most important factor between 2 people from different tribes and there are marriages between Igbo men and non-Igbo women however majority Igbos don't need to look outside for love when they can find it within themselves. The same love you mentioned as important, Igbo men get it from within the tribe. Why look outside? What about culture preservation and values? Why should Igbo preferring to marry from within even be an issue in the first place when other tribes are doing the same? Is the creation of this thread even justified in the first place?

Igbo people are tribalistic, they are evil, they love money, yet you want to marry them? Seriously?

Tomorrow you're going to open another thread asking 'Why do Igbo people speak Igbo?' Like seriously??

End of discussion. Well Explained!!!!

Excellent! Too much fear fear don kill us!
Ride on Mercy...

Where is the love?

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold - Matthew 24:12

ISIS is simply EVIL!

Death is always just breath away.
RIP Muna!

Good stuff!

What an Irony!

I'm on the side of Prof. I never believe in NOI again since the subsidy episode. She let me down.

54 years of failure in putting steady 'light' to our homes, shops and industries and still counting...

You are too much!

are u an Historian?

I like History!

Even during cold war Russian and American presidents do meet in summits/conferences and exchange pleasantries and sometimes share jokes but deep down the two personalities lies animosity and war of interests.

[size=14pt] 2.4 over what? You're joking right? [/size]
Please how did you come to this conclusion and what did you base your facts on? As much as you name any good Mr. Fash did, I will name a bad that countered it. So I don't really understand how you came about your rating. Their performances are all below par, including Mr. GEJ. So their criticisms are baseless. You have to reach at least 80% in order to criticise someone else. Apparently, Mr. Fash is no where close to that percentage. They are all what they will always be, decietful lying crooks, both PDP and APC..

If you re-read my post again...this time read inbetween the lines you will discover how I arrive at the rating.

Fashola is competent and has delivered reasonable service...QED.

But come to think of it...If the incompetent leaders in Nigeria do raise political criticism, how much more someone who has demonstrated leadership?

For me I will not simply generalize him like the rest...his high's are much more than his low's.

damosky12:
Ignorance! An 'open letter' indeed. This is one of the things bound to happen. Persecutions! The challenge with many so called Christians is that they know too much. Whatever any minister of God does is criticized. Even if Jesus comes to the world, its evident, they ll still look out for HIS faults.

And what is your point...?

francizy:
They are all the same. I can't have it when someone with faults will openly criticize others.. Both are the same and Mr. Fash should close his mouth.

***He that is without sin should cast the first stone***

We cannot continue in sin that grace will abound. God forbid! says Apostle Paul.

If you are looking for perfection then even Pope is not qualified.

But in the science of relativity theory, we make comparisons and references.

Well in politics the only parameters to measure leadership is competence, integrity and service.

Fash can be said to score 2.4/3 which other leader including GEJ is close enough?
