FatherOfJesus:So it's about what you care about now? |
FatherOfJesus:Do you know the kind of words Buhari and people like Tinubu, Oshomore, and Tunde Bakare used against Jonathan government, yet he didn't arrest any of them or even send DSS after them. Also what End Sars protest, were they using the one revolution? Or where they asking to overthrow government? Was it not that SARS should be scrapped? I and you know how this government responded, so bro let's stop supporting evil, peaceful protest is not illegal, infact this government came to power through protests. |
FatherOfJesus:So what they did there is act of unseating a government? |
FatherOfJesus:Is it illegal to protest against the government? |
This is probably because UK pulled out of European Union. But the team management should have been aware and sorted this out before hand. This more like BFF way of handling stuff. |
jpworld:It's seems you are not living in Nigeria. |
jpworld:Apc and the Government helped him to evade justice, not efcc . |
seunmsg:Yeah, we understood, didn't actually expect you to criticize the court under Buhari. |
Captain8:Yet when the same Igbo want to break away from you ,,,,,,,,,,,,, |
midolian:Policewoman abi wetin that your name, shebi you see how a whole tribe is being profiled in such hateful way and you keep quiet, but when we reply the dead vulture meat griller now, you spring out shap shao looking for who to recommend for a ban, God dey watch you ooh. |
epondudu:Yeah, Northerner will only use banditry to kidnap another northerner, good point. |
freshalien:Where is your prove? |
Make them free this man abeg. |
Lovenorth:No one can force open grazing on any state that has banned it in Nigeria. |
Safyqueen:If you hate alcohol so much to destroy it, why share from the vat that comes from it? |
In a country with 200 million people? |
ofeco:Or next level. |
So have the soldier been punished ? |
ShadowM:Good. |
madridguy:Why don't you come up with details that counteract his story? |
ShadowM:Have you verified that Nnamdi Kanu told Ipobs to bring 20 dicapidated female heads for burial of their comrades? |
AmuEbule:This is the bitter truth. |
Buckeyemedia1:Yet in all these, you could not point out where Reno was accused of embezzling public funds? I am not saying the guy is a saint, mind you. But your fellow BMC, the dead vulture griller called him a looter alongside others. What I observed among you Buharists is once someone criticizes Buhari or his government, you try to pick up some corruption case about the person, if there is none then you go for their private life, why is that so ? |
, how far, I no tell you say na one chance you enter so?
|
JovialJune:I taya ooh |
Nackdemall:Were they part of the indictment? |
Godons1:So what's your point? |
post=106137033:I thought you would give an instance where Reno embezzled money as a looter that you called him, but alas you have none. Everything Reno acuused Buhari in the video , can you refute at least one of them? |
Emu4life:Bro this is evil, I hate Fulani Herdsmen Killers, but what crime has this kid committed to deserve this? Hell awaits the killers of this boy. Having said the above, let me add that these killings and revenge killings that will likely follow are the results of the nepotism of this government. When the crime of a certain tribe is treated with such unbridled laxity, you are bound to witness what is happening in Nigeria today. young innocent kid, rest in peace, the government of Nigeria failed you. lest we forget, the following letter was written to the president by a northerner, Muhammadu Buhari, President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, The Federal Republic of Nigeria. Dear Mr President, Mr President; Please Belong To All Of Us “One of the swiftest ways of destroying a kingdom is to give preference of one particular tribe over another or show favor to one group of people rather than another. And to draw near those who should be kept away and keep away those who should be drawn near” Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio. I have been prompted to write you this open letter, Mr President, by the loud sounds of drums, singing and dancing that erupted within many groups in the last few days on the grounds that you attained the fifth year in office as President of Nigeria. It comes as no surprise that enthusiasm for the celebration is not shared equally by segments of the public. While your admirers and supporters believe you have performed well, many others believe the five years you have been in office as our President has not met the yearnings, expectations and change promised Nigerians. Mr President, you know me well enough and my position on issues to realize that I can be neither a rabid supporter nor a fanatical opponent of yours. I believe being a responsible citizen is enough reason to wish you well and to work for your success. As we have seen all too clearly these past few years, your success is ours as is your failure. We swim or sink with you! You might wish to recall that after the results of the 23rd of February 2019 presidential elections were announced, giving you victory, I addressed a press conference during which I urged the runner-up, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, to concede defeat. The reason was clear: tensions were running high and little missteps by the leaders might ignite violence, as often happened after major elections. Some supporters of Abubakar Atiku disagreed with me and told me off. As it happened, Alhaji Atiku went ahead to mount a legal challenge to the outcome of the elections up to the Supreme Court. Mercifully, his actions did not result in an outbreak of violence as we feared. On the same occasion, I counselled the declared winner, your good self, to use the opportunity of your second term to redeem your pledge of being a leader and president of all Nigerians. On the occasion of the first-year anniversary into your second four-year term, I feel there is an urgent need to revisit this subject matter. Mr President, you have often expressed the hope that history will be kind to you. It is within your competence to write that history. But you have less than three years in which to do it. You may wish to note that any authentic history must be devoid of myth. It will be a true, factual rendition of the record of your performance. And truth be told, Mr President, there are quite a lot of things that speak to your remarkable accomplishments, not least of which is that for the first time in our democratic history, a sitting President was defeated. That feat was achieved by Muhammadu Buhari. The reason was the public belief of you as a man of integrity. The corollary to this is that at the expiration of your eight-year tenure in 2023, your achievements will not be measured solely by the physical infrastructure your administration built. An enduring legacy would be based on those intangible things like how much you uplifted the spirit and moral tone of the nation. How well have you secured the nation from ourselves and from external enemies? At this time and in the light of all that has happened since you took office, any conversation with you Mr President cannot gloss over the chaos that has overtaken appointments into government offices in your administration. All those who wish you and the country well must mince no words in warning you that Nigeria has become dangerously polarized and risk sliding into crisis on account of your administration’s lopsided appointments which continues to give undue preference to some sections of the country over others. Nowhere is this more glaring than in the leadership cadre of our security services. Mr President, I regret that there are no kind or gentle words to tell you that your skewed appointments into the offices of the federal government, favouring some and frustrating others, shall bring ruin and destruction to this nation. I need not remind you, Mr President, that our political history is replete with great acts of exemplary leadership which, at critical moments, managed to pull this nation back from the precipice and assured its continued existence. A few examples will demonstrate this: In February 1965, the NPC-led Federal Government was faced with a decision to appoint a successor to the outgoing Nigerian Army General Officer Commanding, General Welby Everard, a Briton. Four most senior officers were nominated; namely, Brigadiers Aguiyi Ironsi, Ogundipe, Ademulegun and Maimalari. The first three were senior to Maimalari but he was deemed to be more qualified due to his superior commission. He was the first Sandhurst Regular trained officer in the Nigerian Army. His being a Muslim Northerner like the Minister of Defense, Alhaji Muhammadu Ribadu and the Prime Minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, granted him added advantage by today’s standards. But to the surprise of even the Igbo, and opposition from some senior NPC members, Minister Ribadu recommended Ironsi, pointing to his seniority. The Prime Minister concurred and Aguiyi Ironsi was confirmed as the first indigenous GOC of the Nigerian Army. When on 13 February 1976, the Commander-in-Chief, General Murtala Muhammed, was assassinated in a failed coup de tat, General Olusegun Obasanjo, his deputy and the most senior officer at the time, was sworn in as his successor. The Chief of Army Staff, General T.Y Danjuma, a Northern Christian, was next in line to succeed Obasanjo as the Chief of Staff, SHQ and Deputy Commander in Chief. General Danjuma however waived his right and recommended a much junior officer, Lt. Col. Shehu Musa Yar’adua, for the post. Shehu was promoted two steps up to the rank of Brigadier and appointed Chief of Staff SHQ and Deputy Commander-in-Chief. Lt. Col. Muhammadu Buhari was appointed Minister of Petroleum. This was done to placate the Muslim North which was deemed to have lost one of its own, Murtala Muhammed. Both the chief of staff, Mr Sunday Awoniyi, and the personal physician Dr Ishaya Audu to the Premier of Northern Nigeria, Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, a direct descendant of Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio, were Christians. Barely nine years after the civil war in 1979, the NPN Presidential candidate, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, picked an Igbo, Dr Alex Ekwueme, as his running mate. They enjoyed a truly brotherly relationship as President and Vice President. President Shagari’s political advisor, Dr Chuba Okadigbo and National Assembly Liaison, assistant, Dr K.O Mbadiwe, were both Igbos. His economic advisor, Prof. Emmanuel Edozien and his Chief of Personnel Staff Dr Michael Prest were of Niger Delta extraction. Remarkably, all his military service chiefs were Christians with the exception of his last Chief Army Staff, General Inuwa Wushishi under whose tenure he was removed in a military coup de tat. Mr President, as a witness and beneficiary, it is our expectation that you would emulate these great acts of statesmanship. This is why we have continued to engage with you. You may wish to recall that I had cause to appeal to you, to confirm Justice Onnoghen as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria a few days before the expiration of his three months tenure of acting appointment to be replaced by a Muslim Northerner. We were saved that embarrassment when his nomination was sent to the senate by the then acting President, Prof Yemi Osibanjo. When he was finally confirmed a few days to the end of his tenure, he was removed after a few months and replaced by Justice Muhammed, a Muslim from the North. May I also invite the attention of Mr President to the pending matter of appointment of a Chief Judge of the Nigerian Court Appeal which appears to be generating public interest? As it is, the most senior Judge, Justice Monica Dongban Mensem, a northern Christian, is serving out her second three-month term as acting Chief Judge without firm prospects that she will be confirmed substantive head. I do not know Justice Mensem but those who do attest to her competence, honesty and humility. She appears eminently qualified for appointment as the substantive Chief Judge of the Court of Appeal as she is also said to be highly recommended by the National Judicial Council. If she is not and is bypassed in favour of the next in line who happens to be another northern Muslim, that would be truly odd. In which case, even the largest contingent of PR gurus would struggle to rebut the charges that you, Mr President, is either unwilling or incapable of acting on your pledge to belong to everyone — and to no one. I hope you would see your way into pausing and reflecting on the very grave consequences of such failure not just to your legacy but to the future of our great country. Thank you for your time, Mr President. Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (retd) Did the president listen or consider the contents of this letter ? Your guess is as good as mine. |
I have heard our brothers from other part of niger claiming igbos are giving opportunities to excel in other states while Igbos don't give same to others. Here is a prove that if you are business savvy, we have no issues with you, if you can can compete with us, so be it, we don't discriminate when it comes to making money, everyone, igbos or not have equal opportunites to hustle and make it. |
post=106115505:Good advise, but someone should onyearuru Ala that he should also advice his darling daddy to rule the country with less nepotism and try to take the issues is banditry and herdsmen more serious. Secondly, there is no we, it's all the same chief resident zombie of nairaland,the vulture meat griller. And finally, you are not from Ibo land, nothing like "our tribe" What really do you see in Ibos that make you be denying your Benue state? |
