₦airaland Forum

Next time nigerians will be careful of voting that man who will announce in rallies of how he will do heaven and earth but avoids every debate forum where he'll be asked to explain 'how' he intends to achieve that.

When you think it won't get any worse under Buhari,he surpasses his own target.

Dear Nigerians,what more do we need to happen before it dawns on you that Buhari is incompetent

Tolexander:
NCAN come and verify this northernization of Nigeria!

You're naïve and innocent. Don't you get it? They are being assembled to generate ideas. Once the ideas are harnessed and it becomes a revenue yielding sector,one incompetent alhaji will be appointed to oversee it all. Haven't you noticed that once competence is needed,they take from south but once its for appointment,its north.

Suprnov3r:
Great write up. Its a pity that they are their own biggest enemies

It is a wrong notion to hold that view. I believe that notion was rather from outsiders than from within the igbo clime. And sadly,even many igbos are bending to believe it. But on the contrary,the igbos are the most united and brotherly in this nation. Let's take a few examples. Go and look at most successful entrepreneurs and businessmen of igbo extraction today,their stories all started with an uncle or so that took them from the village,brought them to town and introduced them to serve in their line of business or the other. That's empowerment in its purest form.You don't get that elsewhere.
Igbos are still the only people who will find themselves in diaspora and still converge monthly or weekly in wherever they are to continue their brotherly ties,keep abreast of happenings at home and periodically channel contributions home for developmental purposes,never forsaking their root.

TRUTH UNADULTERATED ABOUT IGBO

"FOR THOSE WHO DON'T APPRECIATE WHERE IGBOS WERE COMING FROM:
By Ena Ofugara an Urhobo man.

How Much Respect Do You Show Igbos?
I am not Igbo. I am proud of my Urhobo. However, as a student of history, I wish to show just what these great people came/come against and yet thrive.

Okay, the incessant killings in the North will be glossed over so as to make this article not overly long. The civil war will also not be discussed.

However, post civil war, as I explained in my post MINORITY REPORT: THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST YOU, the rich in Nigeria have major roots in the Indigenisation decree of 1972 and 1977.

I reminded people how the banks gave people of other tribes, predominantly Hausas and Yorubas loans to buy up companies owned by foreigners. Now imagine the Federal government forced Chevron to sell 51 percent of its shares and that Access Bank will give you loans to buy the shares.

How rich will you be in a year? 5 Years? That is how many Yorubas and Hausas got to own UAC, all those Dunlop, Leventis, Cadbury etc.
Now while this was ongoing, Gowon told the Nigerian banks to give TOPS twenty naira to any Igbo man that had money in the bank before the war. That is, if you had 5 naira before the war, you will be given the 5 naira. But if you had a hundred naira, you get just twenty naira in full fulfilment of the banks duty to give you your money.

Ask yourselves "why would the banks give Igbos only twenty naira? Did the banks collapse? So why pay less than you were given?

So while the banks were giving loans to Hausa and Yorubas to buy Oyibo companies they did not build, Igbos were being cheated out of their rightful moneys.

Now not also that these people lost Houses and business across the land. It is safe to say that as at 1970/71. the richest Igbo had 20 naira that may be the equivalent of maybe one million.
Let us look at how Dangote made his money. He Dagote (a great man and pride to Nigeria) has an uncle called Dantata who owned huge chunks of the groundnut pyramids of the 50's and 60's. He gave Dangote a loan and Dangote paid it back in record time. CLAP CLAP. Then add that Dangote has had his "brothers" in government, from Buhari, IBB to Abacha and Abdulsalaam.

When they now agreed to democracy, he was rich enough to have funded Obasanjo and so government policies, be it monopoly afforded him for rice, sugar flour and of course a large share of subsidy etc ensures he is the wealthiest Nigerian. (note that many had same opportunity but did not use it. We kowtow to Dangote's investment capabilities)

However, for the Igbo man, where will he see an uncle that will loan him money? The richest man in their family has how much as at then? So while Fani Kayode can inherit property of his father and grandfather and great grand father, a Chidi Kalu cannot inherit anything from his grandfather who had business in Kano or even Port Harcourt.

Neighbours have made his dad's storey building theirs, and even someone as educated as Saro Wiwa lived in an Igbo war emigrant house as his. (a sore point of the Niger Delta and Igbo Unity).

WAEC building was Ojukwu's dad's building and like that building, thousands and the lands with it....lands worth billions today were taken from Igbos and each and every Igbo had tops 20 naira, destroyed homeland, stolen and destroyed wealth away from the east. Also his brother is never president that will give him oil block or fuel lifting. Of 33, only one Igbo man and because he was in Obasanjo's good graces.

YET LOOK HOW PROUD THEY STAND TODAY!!! Look what they have achieved for themselves....FIRST GENERATION WEALTH...top second generation. From being unable to send their first sons to school so he could help look after the shop, to producing first class brains in all departments of modern learning.

So today, as you accuse Igbos of wanting their Biafra or of Baby Factory, or liking money and ready to do anything for money, remember that just forty years ago, while the banks were dashing your uncles loans to buy all the companies of Nigeria, it stole from the Igbos. Know that appointments have not favoured them.

Note that they remain persecuted and many speak such ill and hate towards a people forced by need to survive to be extra-aggressive towards their sustenance.

Maybe if you took their history into consideration, you will not be so critical of them, but instead say "what a resilient people" and give God the glory that FOR NOW, we and such a great people are compatriots.
Igbo Kwenu!"

Yerima Shettima, another northern leader opined that the President was fast losing the goodwill that brought him into office, citing that the Buhari administration had lost focus, which had taken its toll on common Nigerians, plunging them into abject poverty and sufferings.

.

As far as am concerned,this govt have never had focus talkless of losing it.

Buhari had not yet finished with this nation

treasuremi1:
And u that put Jonathan's matters on ur head. Does he know abt ur existence? The truth is that we the educated masses are just taking paracetamol on another man's headache. Especially these politicians. They all maintain cordial relationship and friendship irrespective of their political parties differences. We curse and insult ourselves because of them while they loot and enjoy their bounties.

And who told u I put jonathan's matter on my head?
Its a error in thought to believe that anyone who speaks out against this administration is a supporter of GEJ.

This is exactly what I've been wishing all these zombies who have appointed themselves on behalf of Buhari to insult GEJ on social and mass media to know. GEJ if he desires can still secure jobs or contracts from buhari if he desires which they,the zombies can't get.
These men might be speaking regularly and cordially while zombies whom buhari doesn't care about will carry buhari's matter on their head

I remember when the campaigns were on,most muslim were voting purely on tribal and religious sentiments while we heard christians making statements like 'I don't vote on religious sentiments', 'Buhari can not display tribal bigotry in his appointments in present day nigeria'. Today,he is displaying pure unadulterated tribal bigotry in that present day Nigeria and they have all gone silent. I remember Rochas campaigning that Buhari can not exhibit tibalism and islamic bigotry with men like him and ngige in the party. Today,men like him and ngige have looked the other way.

kkboy:
Better. It's a duty call for all to stop importation, and start petronizing made in Nigerian goods and services

Children everywhere.
Don't you know that the made in Nigeria goods makers need to import their equipment and resources to even produce locally

True,no just jonathan,but successive past govts. They have all tried to put Nigeria's economy into recession and hyper-inflation but couldn't succeed and buhari in less than a year has succeeded in doing that. He has also succeded in causing the biggest divisive govt since 1970.
Also succeded in the first 0megawatts
Succeded in creating the longest uninterrupted fuel scarcity in the nation's history(4 uninterrupted months).
Highest pump price(N145) in the nation's history.
Succeded in killing the naira in the biggest fall against foreign currencies since the creation of the naira(first ever to hit over N400/dollar).

Yes,indeed,Buhari has succeded in what other past leaders(civilian,military and even colonial) never achieved.

Mr Timi,no wahala,we all know you are just hustling to gain recognition before buhari to feed your family. We understand. Don't worry,even buhari doesn't believe your comment

attack d message not d messenger..i knw call any tribe hia o..but wetin I talk no b lie

I wasn't making reference to this thread. Have observed your post over time and you have a very uncanny way of bringing in igbos into the topic,no matter what the topic is.
It was fun at first but at this point,I think you should leave that to the younger kids coming into NL and assert yourself more on topical discourse.
As for your question,yes you are right. Most of the crimes traceable to igbos are motivated by the desire to break from poverty and move to an affluent life.
And every tribe has a crime inducing index. While a certain tribe's own is religion and religious causes(and in recent times,cows),another's crimes are cult,ritual and fetish induced.
Have a nice day

na dia hand work...people from dat Syd hv passion from movin drug

Immediately I saw ur moniker as reading the post,I just knew that a tribal bigotted dimension must emanate from you. And in a few seconds,you proved me right. Your hatred towards anything igbo is quite pitiable.
Tell me,did an igbo guy break your heart at one point in your life? You know Jesus can heal all wounds,right?

This kind of bursts can only be possible via tip off.
But are they really certain on the stated value of that substance cos the amount being quoted there can revive some state's economy.

Let's call a spade a spade.

Ever since Jonathan lost the presidency, the IPOB,MEND,NDA and Igbo nation in general have developed the mentality of awa oyel

They have become more boldened by Jonathan's tactic support, Invading Yorubacreeks, Blowing pipelines, Issuing threat to the first family and presidential villa , even went as bold enough to threaten to declare their own caliphate (Biafra and ND Republic)

But the biggest shame goes to every Militant, Christian or muslim, wailer, IPOB, NDA sympathizers ,MEND,MASSOB, who knew Jonathan is a daft, clueless unrepentant corruption facilitator , Destroyer of national reserves but still wail about him (GEJ) loosing elections and still claim every fight against corruption is witch hunt .. You are the biggest of all fools and may God spare his mercies for you


Omenka, tonyebarcanista , dabullit, GMBuhari

Incidentally,most of these monikers you mentioned to join you can not really say much because their own villages had since been sacked by herdsmen too. LOL!

Let's call a spade a spade.
Ever since Buhari became president,the fulani herdsmen have developed a mentality of 'we own the nation'. They have become more boldened by Buhari's tacit support.
When Buhari went to his emir and speaking in his language stated that with the encroachment of sahara desert from the north,nobody can stop them from using lands downsouth.
And sadly,because all the security operative bosses want to lick the president's behind to retain their lucrative positions,they won't want to take drastic measures to hunt or arrest herdsmen.
Please,can someone tell me why there was full deployment of military detachments to confront militants bombing oil pipelines but no single arrest of herdsmen killing and maiming unarmed human lives?
I also blame the governors of these northern states under attack(eg benue,kogi,adamawa) for playing politics with the precious lives of their people. When the likes of fayose and south east governors banned the movement of herdsmen in their states,the 19 northern state governors(including the ones in the middle belt who have been the most victimized) arose and warned the southern states against the ban. Instead of those silly governors to look their contemporaries in the eyes and take a stand too for the sake of their citizen,they decided to play along with their core northern counterparts. Now,its coming to hunt them. I just wish its the governors' villages and relations that will be attacked and destroyed.
The security bosses need also to be ashamed of themselves too for playing politics that has made it hard for them to do what is right.
But the biggest shame goes to every southerner or christian who knew that Buhari is an unrepentant tribal bigot but voted him believing he will change,you are the biggest fool and may God have mercy on your soul.

Put down your own contact details(eg bbm,whatsapp,etc)

idupaul:
When my eyes cleared from Buharism months ago a lot of people thought I lacked patience ..but eyes and eyes are now clearing daily ..Buhari was the wrong choice and we must all admit it

So you are part of the people that put us in this mess?
Well,I never voted for Buhari because what I saw sitting down,many are now standing to see it.
A man who was tested in 1983 and he nearly collapsed the economy in 10months,an unrepentant tribal bigot whose last result was his primary school cert and till date has not improved himself is the man you all believed that could lift a modern economy like ours? Amazing

One doesn't need to be a prophet to know that Nigerians will not vote Buhari in 2019

What adeboye is saying in simple terms is Guys,marry a christian lady with basic home training.

P/s,its an advice for his sons. If you're not his son,you're free to disregard it and choose as you desire.
Any girl who's not comfortable with this advice needs to evaluate her home training.

How much?

seunmsg:
Finally, congratulations to him. I hope he gets to restructure and reposition NIPOST to become a very profitable and modern postal agency.

The president is now trying to balance his appointments. wailers, over to you. come and wail that he's not an IPOB

Instead of making a mockery,I believe the igbos and everyother well meaning nigerian who had cried out against the nepotism should be commended for getting buhari to balance out the appoitments henceforth
The trickles of southern appointments you are seeing coming in so far are a result of those supposed outcries.

wachakuta:
Chie our Igbo brothers on Nairaland won't be happy wiv dis kind news ooh

Instead of making a mockery,I believe the igbos and everyother well meaning nigerian who had cried out against the nepotism should be commended for getting buhari to balance out the appoitments henceforth

This is more of a father's advice to son

Nicur:
like if you can't wait for 2019!!

Unfortunately,your voyes won't count in 2019.
The inec has since replaced all the top inec bosses with those related or loyal to Buhari and Apc.
By 2019,Nigerians will realize that everybody is not GEJ who would allow a free and fair election that can oust him.

He of all people should know that igbos call a spade,a spade,no eye service.

Seenyo:
Gbam! The nomad is a waste of my vote!

So you are part of the people that put us in this mess

Adminisher:
This is the cowardly attitude of THIEVES when the punishment is impending they start bringing issues to confuse the process. Nepotism is actually permitted within bounds. There is Nepotism in the oil industry, PTF et.c. the entire Amnesty program is Nepotism. I get 20 CVs from young Nigerians looking for jobs and I will do all I can to fix them up. When I do it will appear to be Nepotism but I won't give a job to anyone if them not qualified.

This is different from large scale LOOTING as perpetrated under Jonathan. Stealing from future generations is not on the same level as helping a few from the current young generations.

In a bid to defend as a zombie,you have just won the award for the most foolish and incoherrent post.
Not an any point did you make a point that is traceable to the issue discussed.
You have just left millions of readers dumber than you met them.
May God have mercy on your soul

So amaka anajemba is now a political appointee?
Speechless
