Super sad.

mikezuruki:
I'm not sure we knew the magnitude of the past administration lies. That's how open this present administration is...we know when they are lying. Unlike the former

You're saying opposite of what is on the ground, sir.
The main problem GEJ had was thinking that somehow, democracy as practised in the west also applied to Nigeria. So, he let Buhari run his radio changi filled with lies and propaganda, especially on Chibok girls. Today, even legitimate TV and radio stations are under assault by Buhari agencies.

GEJ also let himself to be molested, insulted, and caricatured without limits. Today, people go jail by "disrespecting " Buhari or even members of his family.

GEJ had his own issues with certain judges, but Buhari first assaults, molests, and jail opposition judges, the result is a supreme court filled with 'wise men and women ' who don't know that the total votes cast in an election must not exceed the number registered and accredited, because they were in a hurry to do Buhari's bidding.

The mere act of suppressing the opposition view point makes Buhari quite anti-democratic. There's no credible achievement when democracy is trampled upon.

Gowon finally braving up putting his atrocities on paper?
Waiting for the full text!

Khaleell001:
You are not making any sense to me.
if all these cacophonous ramblings were to be coming froma media house I. would consider it worthy but from what you have written so far, it shows how insular and hateful you are of what you think of the Saudis.

I never said the Saudis were angels. No.

I only said in defense what their government have been able to put in place which your country can't boast off.
This is not fiction but a fact.
Did you read the recent report by the world bank about countries which have the best business environment, do you know Saudi Arabia was rated high?

The point is, when you say a country is backward,what do you mean?
In what context? because all you write up there are nothing but ramblings.

I see you have no understanding of what a civil discussion is all about. Please go find your level.

Khaleell001:
Just listen to yourself?
Saudi backward country because they refuse to let in. drugs into their lands or backward country in terms of infrastructure?

Just hear yourself?! And those ninety one simpletons who liked and shared your quote.

No wonder we have such a high ratio of unintelligent and so called literate people around.

Saudi Arabia is better than any Africa country by all standards possible.
I dare you to quote me.

They are better than some European countries if we start comparing.

They are one of the most advanced countries in the world today.

Don't even go there.

Saudi Arabia with it's incidental finding of mega wealthy oil reserve is not what anybody would want aspire to.
They are remain super corrupt, lazy, and significantly backwards in all aspects.
Like they say, a building does not make a home, or a house does not make a church/mosque; those huge and irrelevant structures around Saudi Arabia doesn't make the Saudi sophisticated in any way!. Saudis remain barbaric in every measure.

Unfortunately, some misguided Nigerians see Saudis as role models? The same way we see corrupt, illiterate, but suddenly rich local politicians as role models here in Nigeria. We have been misled and mis directed at defining what a successful person ought to look like.

I speak from a first hand experience of treating and managing many Saudi patient's with their so-called rich entourage. They are dirty, uninformed, and 200 years more backwards than an average Egyptian, Turk, Japanese, or even Palestanian/Jordan. Don't even mention Iranians!

I can understand the natural pull towards an easy money flowing all over the backward Saudi kingdom, even Americans want to get as much of it as possible, so why not Nigerians? It doesn't change the fact that despite availability of this easy flowing money in Saudi Arabia, the average Saudi citizen remains relatively more backwards compared to others.

Buhari never asks his AG to wade into cases of Nigerians in other countries.
I am tired of muslim drug dealers being rescued with the instrument of the FG, while others are convicted and executed with celebration from the Buhari government.

Not sure why any sane person should go to a backwards country like Saudi Arabia, religion or not. When you chose to go to a nineteenth century nation like Saudi, you must bear responsibility for anything that happens to you.

They are not school children, just almajiri lining up for potential free food from one of their sponsors

IBB , like most of his fellow northerner old soldiers see not just Igbos. but the whole south as their conquered territory.
What's good for Kano can never be good for say Oyo.

FriendNG:
But will they build their own prison service or they will be paying the federal government to use some of it facilities such as Prisons?

The question is how should the Constitution be amended.

How's it done in hisbah?

MURIC congratulates Hanan Buhari for passing clear pale yellow urine this morning!
Next, they will congratulate her for doing number 2, while other lazy Nigerian ladies have no idea how to do it.

Waterview:
what is wrong in dating a yoruba man? useless parents.

Not Yoruba man, but Yoruba muslim. Still don't understand the difference?

Osaze007:
I’m under intense pressure
I’m sure I can mobilize millions on nairaland alone

Sure, Biafrans are already queuing up to vote for you.

After army, we have police, customs, and Dss. Everyone one of them Buhari outfit wants to collect money directly from citizens on the roads

fernandoc:
What allegations? It’s not news that Nigeria Army now collects money at check points like police.
Go to Calabar-Itu bridge it’s going on there even as I’m typing this.

Yes oh. Go to Abuja, Kogi, Benue, and Enugu the corrupt Burutai army is collecting money shamelessly everyday.

Haters will not stop masturbating, posturing, and losing sleepless nights over this lady even after the wickedly EFCC found nothing to hold on to in their pursuit of her.

With police, army, and customs suppression, and don't mention the neglect of federal roads and infrastructure, why would anyone expect foreign investment in SE!

Sounds like dictator Abacha already.
Buhari depended on UK, US, and EU to come to power, but now he has no need to listen to them?

Every Nigerian, except:
Dasuki
Sowore
El Zaky
Dan ladi
....the list is too long.

idealogical:
Unfortunately for you, the man is not even Hausa Fulani.

Tribalism and bigotry miss road.

You know nothing about Nigeria, but you know a lot about tribalism and bigotry.

Oh, let me guess. He's from Buhari native country of Niger republic!

Any northern Muslim is better than even better qualified southerners. Go ahead and defend it!

Until all the Hausa Fulani people are all fully employed by this Buhari administration, other groups just have to be patient.

zhike:
Yesterday a South African won miss Universe.
This year they won a bid to host Netball world cup.
This year they won rugby world cup trophy.
They are building Africa 's tallest building - leonardo tower.
They build Sandton from scratch after they won democracy.
They built world's larger coal fired power station last year (medupi and kusile)
They built africa's first bullet train - gautrain.
they hosted soccer world cup.
they hosted cricket world cup
they hosted rugby world cup.
they built largert telescope in the world - meerkat
South africa govt official are not going outside the country for medical purposes

Nigeria has great plans but they fail to execute, for example eko atlantic city

No Fulani hold on SA.

So called northern illiteracy is by design, and a fiction from a realistic view point.

Well you should stop racing against time and stop confusing yourself.

@the first bolded, The video circulating shouting people carrying placards with Tinubu’s mom name was when Awolowo first appeared on the street of Lagos (after coming out of prison) on his way to the national conference convened by Gowon. She never said she had a hand in releasing him and all major groups in Yorubaland welcome Awolowo with several banners. Stop trying to use false narratives to back your opinion.

@the second bolded, I’ve been telling you and your kinsmen to provide me just one evidence that give credence to your fact. None of you provided any evidence and I’m but ashamed of the whole Igbo race. What is the usefulness of your education if none of you can provide just one evidence to support your argument. So shameful!

@the third bolded, calabar prison was a federal prison bro, do you even know Ironsi already made some promise to release Awolowo before his demise? Although the Yoruba bloc later learnt to know that he’s just playing politics with it. Gowon not only released Awolowo but other prominent AG party prisoners like Adekunle Ajasin, Anthony Enahoro, etc.

@the fourth bolded, stop confusing yourself, there is no mention of Ikoyi prison in any of the article, where are you seeing Ikoyi prison?? From the evidence above you can see that it was states that Awo was flown from calabar prison in a helicopter and Gowon received him at his office. So where do you see Ikoyi prison that you keep mentioning? Is everything okay?

@your last statement, yes fake news exists and the empire of fake news is Biafra republic. Ojukwu was a propagandist up to his death while Nnamdi Kanu has a doctorate in fake news coz we all still remeber his Buhari is Jubril news.

See the pics attached below. You can see that it was stated that Awolowo was flown from calabar prison to meet with Gowon at Doran barracks where they shook hand. That was exactly the video I uploaded in the former thread.

If you're going to earn your keep from the Tinubu establishment in pushing this false narrative, it behooves you to prove :
1. Calabar prison, and maybe Calabar city was under the Gowon federal government July end, and early August 1966.
2. That there was a federal Activity, namely, military, espionage, etc that might have freed Awo without resistance from the controlling Biafran regime.
3. That Gowon freed other federal prisoners held in the east like Nzeogwu and some of his co plotters.

You can't confuse people much longer with your infantile postulations devoid of basic reasoning: even if you are paid to lay the political foundation for Tinubu and his mom to claim important roles in the release and reception of Awolowo.

Either you work harder or they'll replace you with someone with bigger gray matter!

LegendHero:
Lol I don laugh tire for this your statement. You have more bigger talent ahead of you as a comedian and you will excel by making use Igbo language as your comedy language.

@the first bolded, if you’re not visually impaired, you will see from the guardian paper I attached where they said he was flown (helicopter) from calabar prison to Lagos. Go back to the evidence I provided to see that and come back here to apologize.

@the second bolded, do you mean after Ojukwu released him in late July, Awo started trekking from calabar and eventually reached Lagos in August 3rd to do a photo op with Gowon?

@the third bolded, have you read Awolowo book called “Awo on the Nigerian civil war”? The image is attached below.

You deserve to be tied to a tree and flogged to reformat your thinking. Even nnamdi Kanu will envy you coz your own case overshadows his comedy rhetorics.

Definitely not going to stoop down to trade childish bs with you, because like many people, I used to wonder why the fervent pitch to misinform reality until I started seeing another thread that showed Ms Tinubu, yes the mother of Tinubu himself was being hailed as one of the people who organized Awolowo release and welcome with the young Tinubu assisting!! How nice will it sound for the Jagaband himself to stand on a podium to narrate how he released Awo, even as a child

Then it all made sense. I can't argue facts with a person paid to argue with me, remember who said that?

Ojukwu mistake was not putting a big tattoo of Biafra on Awolowo face, so that people like you would have not need to argue blindly.

That's why despite being your fulltime 24/7 job, you have not been able to convince anyone with facts, except images made after the fact!

If you are unable to prove that Calabar was not under Ojukwu control, and that Ojukwu ran the prison where Awo was being held, and that there was no documented forcible federal activity to release Awo, then you are definitely fixated on your predetermined conclusion.

Have you even wondered why Gowon took the extraordinary photo op to show Ikoyi prison? Awo was not released from Ikoyi. It showed the reason why there were numerous publications falsely claiming that Gowon had released Awo.

Too bad, you are daft to even assume that average reasoning Nigerans will not know the sequence of events. Fake news did not start with Trump you know!

Yes, the victor gets to write the war history, but not the facts.

Oh, now I understand why the renewed interest on who freed Awo from Calabar prison?

Tinubu, via his mother wants to take credit too

Gowon who freed the man from"Ikoyi prison " will not be happy!
After so much press, videos, and false editorials, Tinubu mama, the real person who freed Awo from jail has finally emerged!!!!

Fayose for president!

Nigerian police was designed for the 1940s, today it's designed to be ineffective and super corrupt.
Today, it's an instrument of enriching the ruling Fulanis.

dboss12:
A practical Christian, a man of God,
YAKUBU GOWON, a Nigerian saviour.

Gowon emerged a minute to time,
To save Nigeria from disintegration,
He cleared the mist of uncertainty,
And established hope to the waiting nation.

He proved his valour beyond doubt,
He showed kindness without delay
He showed kindness to everyone,
Political prisoners were released to go.
Awo and Eyo were promptly released.
Enahoro and others were free again,
Nigerian citizens received the news,
With jubilation everywhere.

Gowon dug into nation task,
He promised to keep Nigeria one,
He appealed to the nation for full support,
He prayed all to forget the past,
And come together for our country's sake.

Other tribes in the federation,
Gave the appeal an immediate support,
but lbo tribe did not cooperate,
because the leader was not lboman.
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,
The then Military Governor of Eastern Region,
Took the lead for lbo people,
Proved his wisdom beyond bounds,
He did his best to cause confusion,
To disintegrate the Federal Nigeria.

Mr. Gowon, go write your own book about the war, and stop coming to speak anonymously.
Are you still a coward, even to write a book about your shameful history?

Benefits of sharia as seen from the north:

1. Better education? NO
2. Better security? NO
3. Better economy? NO
4. Better peace and harmony? NO

Someone please, please list what the backwards north has gained from sharia over the past 10 years. Thanks.
