Ezeuche, you know our women, they don't need a red cap to insinuate strength, they just show it. If the SE politicians accept this treatment and don't decamp to apga then its clear that they are shameless crumb pickers. Whatever outcome they get as a result of not leaving PDP is their own wahala. I think then I will just go back to being ukwuani and not associate with SE politics.

It seems like they will accept this treatment, which is even more disheartening.

Boko Haram: Police beef up security in 7 states

By KINGSLEY OMONOBI

ABUJA-TO thwart any possible attack by the Boko Haram sect, the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Hafiz Ringim, has beefed up security in about seven states including Borno, Bauchi, Kaduna, Niger, Plateau and Kano.

Ringim, also said yesterday that the post-election violence which engulfed parts of the country could not have been avoided.

Fielding questions from newsmen at the post-election debriefing of DIGs, AIGs and Commissioners of Police at the force headquarters, Ringim explained that the tactics of massively deploying police personnel for the conduct of the elections which resulted in its success will be replicated in dealing with the Boko Haram problem.

Ringim stated that the violence which led to the killing of nine NYSC members was spontaneous hence could not have been prevented.

He, however, pointed out that the swift response by security agencies was what matters under such circumstances as incidents like that occur over of the world.

Ringim added that police personnel were part of the society and deserved to be encouraged when they perform creditably.

Calculia:
When will Nigeria ever unite and pursue a common interest of sustainable development in all ramification. This is certainly not going to happen under GEJ.

There shall not be any unity in Nigeria. If it hasn't happened in 50 years, why expect it to happen now.

Worry about your own people before worrying about another group. Put Igboland first.

Ileke-IdI:
Nigerian men, irrespectable of ethnicity, are weak in general. Such a shame.

Back to topic,

You ppl should stop this whinny attitude. Decision has not yet been made.

This is a lesson; tribalism gets you nowhere. Your hate for a Northerner/ your ethnic bigotted attitude made you vote for GEJ and also made you expect something in return.

No one is whining. It is more anger. Do not mistake anger for whining.

anger:

–noun
1.
a strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence aroused by a wrong; wrath; ire.


whine:

-noun
1.
a feeble, peevish complaint.

I was the first Ndigbo on NL to criticize Jonathan a year ago. My brother on NL silenced me and wanted me to join their cause. In April, I directed my anger at Igbo leaders for their support of Jonathan. I was silenced again. Then I became optimistic of Jonathan.

I should have went with my INSTINCTS.

My threads from last year can be seen. My April thread can be seen NOW!

Calculia you are right,but, our polticians are naïve and weak apart from the women,which are few in number. Our strength is in our women but the seats are dominated by men. The obvious is there,leave PDP for your regional party since you are not respected. Any who, this should teach the se politicians a lesson and have them embarrassed for their non-actions.why wouldn't any sane poltician from an opposite group not take advantage of a people who they know will not do anything but instead take the disrespect and disregard with content?

I weep my brother. These Igbo men are not fit to be called men. Our beloved ancestors would weep.

Igbo women have more strength than these men.

^^^Dawg, u need to stop sucking on that pipe! Crack is wack!

And you need to stop bending over for random akata DL men who pound you in your arse.

alexleo:
Even the senate president , the speaker etc. will still beg to get whatever favour from the president. And if the president refuses they cant do anything to him neither will they single handedly impeach him. All na the same beg beg. You people should leave this thing. When you look at the big picture , it is the north that is the biggest loser in this whole thing and i can explain if u care to know.

I saw the big picture a year ago, when Jonathan said he would run.

The biggest losers are the Ndigbo. I don't care what anyone says. . .

And any Igbo who is foolish enough to not think so, is just as foolish as our leaders. Some Igbos are too dumb for politics.

Calculia:
igbo should abstain from GEJ government, That will send him a clear message andleave him very vulnerable to the Northerners and Outh westerners he choose to be their President. Simple

Yes, it is very simple. Let GEJ fend for himself. I am sure OBJ will lead him in the "right" direction.

apoti:
Then what happened to you 40 years ago would happen again

I am always willing to roll the dice. The world is very different from 40 years ago.

Sometimes I feel like Okonkwo. When my people should be outraged, many are fine with what happened.

"Okonkwo stood looking at the dead man. He knew that Umuofia would not go to war. He knew because they had let the other messengers escape. They had broken into tumult instead of action. He discerned fright in that tumult. He heard voices asking: 'Why did he do it?'"

It is as simple as that. The writing is on the wall.

I pray that Igbos will rise up again like we did before. It has only been 40 years since our last uprising.

OAM4J:
Dont forget that the president is also partly from SE. His presidency is a joint ticket of SS and SE. One of his name is Azikwe, remember?

There is no "partly' in it. It is either you identify with the Igbo SOLELY or you are not Igbo.

OAM4J:
Dem try for SE nao, at least dem get Deputy Senate President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and the Chief Whip of the House.

Is it not enough?

That is not what we wanted. And they can take it back. . .

dem_people:
Okpara, would you save me? Ojike, where are you? Mbadiwe, Ibiam, Nze o g . . . .?

My tongue has locked as I see the enemy horsemen, magnificent in their ride towards me, to finish me once and for all.

Save me o my heroes before they reach me from afar!

My wound has made me weak.

Your eyes are open. Spread the word to many of our brothers and sisters. The SE PDP needs to go. They are weak and do not serve our interest.

dem_people:
^^^^^

Nwannem, I share your agony and anger.

I feel like a knight who has fallen by the sword. The wound aches from a very isolated part of my body such that my cries has reached the heavens.

The enemy did a good job in the cut. He must have been a master of the sword to know where to strike me deep.

This was the ultimate betrayal in my eyes. Jonathan did not even fight for us.

With his actions, all support from the Ndigbo populace has dried up.

^^^

Now you see my anger.

Oh Ibiam, oh Okpara, oh Wachuku, oh Osadebay, I miss thee!

True Igbo leaders of a distant past.

lepasharon:
lagos is a yoruba state so you Ibos should shut up with that mess

Which will sink into the sea, because of rising sea levels. Like we care. . .

Enjoy that overglorified slum.

Beaf:
Lol!

I wonder why the likes of Ezeuche even bother with the politics section? How can anyone want to hang over the speakership?
I'm sure the paving stones of the 2015 road NEED to be laid a certain way.

Politics is not about hysterics, its a cold game. Let 2015 ring through your mind and stop creating a dozen silly threads per hour.

We, the Igbos of the SE are not amused by Jonathan's actions so far. A region that gave him the bulk of his votes and a people who are found all across Nigeria that voted for him in large numbers.

Let me say it again, We are not amused. We do not want any ministerial position, in which he can discard us at any time.

It is either the Speaker position, which we earned through our votes or Jonathan has shown that he has used us for our votes. It is a simple as that. And many of my brothers would agree.
