. Oga stop blaming PDP wat was the state of the economy when PDP took over from the military govt.

If that was your sentiment, then keep your questions in the freezer till after 16 years.

Olisa Metuh, probably they made the bogus promises on the strength that they will equally inherit what you inherited 6 years ago, only to arrive and found an economy in comatose and an empty treasury.
Some of you thinks that every body has short memory or lack of it.

teeowl:
fulanis = cave men.

And these cavemen had been ruling you for as long as you remember.
Nice!

MizMyColi:
Put simply, kindly show an Internet link pointing to such statement.

Enjoy yourself. I believe you had been away to planet Mars

kettykin:
You still don't get it , if MTN pays that amount other people will find it very difficult to invest in Nigeria.
How come glo and MTN are not as competitive as MTN

Is you that doesn't get it. In your opinion if you punish a shop lifter, genuine customers will stop coming?
Letting MTN get away will criminal business practice will send a signal to other investors that Nigeria is not a lawful place to invest their money.

kettykin:
You amuse me.
Go and figure out how many jobs has been lost in the banking and oil industry of recent.
Must you throw away the baby with the bath water

Losing jobs at some point is parts and parcel of capitalism. It's no peculiar to Nigeria especially with a their single track crude oil economy.
You people should get real. A company in UK shed 8k jobs last month alone.

kettykin:
That guy is a fool, does he know that Nigerian economy is not American economy and that Nigeria needs all the foreign investment it can get

In your Solomon wisdom, MTN can make you homeless, as long as they invest in Nigeria they made billions each year?
If they leave, it becomes an opportunity for others, especially domestic ones.

MizMyColi:
And your beloved president GEJ equally claimed that Boko Haram members are part of his cabinet.

You wanted me to substantiate it based on the premise that he never said that? Let me get that correctly.

nacosprof:
My prayer is to see entire nations of the earth turns to christians so as love, peace & happiness will reign an circulate,..muslim are like carcer around d world

No human or human government can make that possible. Only God's government here on earth can achieve that. When a man cannot even direct even his own footsteps, let alone running the affairs of fellow man.
Turning into a Christian is not the solution but turning into a true Christians, the one founded by Christ based on the truth.
Not the one founded by some smart money hungry Nigeria styled pastors.

MizMyColi:
Kindly substantiate your claim.
Thanks.

Tell me the claim that you wanted me to substantiate? Thanks

Rawani:
In all my posts i referred to the criminal elements amongst them, It would unfair to conclude I labelled the entire herdsmen.

Maybe you should take few minutes and edit your post. You may have over looked some stuff unknowingly.
The correct words would had been most herdmen or some herdsmen.
Peace.

alaskido:
There is no smoke without fire. Why will the Fulani cattle rustlers take their cows into farmlands and graze on crops people have taken time and suffered to cultivate?

In addition the so called Fulani cattle rustlers will kill, rape and kidnap the farmers and you want Fani Kayode to keep quiet. Can the southerners do this in the North? The answer is capital NO.

I am from the Niger Delta and I do not support bad things. The President should look into this. You do not just take your cattle into any farm land and destroy peoples crops and go free because you are a Fulani or Hausa. It is bad.

There is always two sides to every story, especially with Nigeria where things are not always what they seem on the surface.
That's why I never rushed to make total judgement any issue emanating from Nigeria, where tribal sentiment is the steering wheel of how most Nigerians reasons or think.
Issues arising from animal grazing and rustling is not peculiar to Nigeria. It's a common feature across south Saharan Africa, from Cape to Cairo.
Only that in Nigeria tribalism is injected into the mix as always with almost every aspect of their lives to make it interesting and real Nigeria.

Rawani:
However FFK's recent vituperations against the entire Fulani race are not his usual uncoordinated diatribes. His insistence on attacking the entire Fulani people because of the activities of a few soulless, bloody, and murderous criminals appears to be by design, and co-ordinated with other elements and groups that are strongly opposed to the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as President such as Afenifere, Chief Falae, and some disgruntled elements East of the Niger.

The activities of the murderous blood sucking Fulani herdsmen are barbaric, criminal and downright condemnable. The lives that have been needlessly lost and families traumatized is more than enough reason for Government to tackle the menace immediately and headlong and I admonish the authorities to take prompt action.

.

In one breath you rightly condemned FFK for stereotyping the whole Fulani nation and in another breath you came with your own version of stereotypes against the entire herdsmen as murderous, blood sucking, barbaric and criminals. Unless there is an individual known as Fulani herdsmen?
Nigeria! What a wonderful country and people.

MizMyColi:
Buhari who is their grand patron has said worse when he called the Federal Government (which represents the totality of the Nigerian people) Boko Haram.
Heaven did not fall.

FFK is only following their precedent.

And your beloved president GEJ equally claimed that Boko Haram members are part of his cabinet. Or you conveniently forgot that?
Selective memory is never cool.
Never.

kinibigdeal:
Iheanancho look older than Raheem Sterling and Theo-Walcot...is anytin wrong?

How do you experts use someone looks to determine their age?

macklef:
D brazillians have blocked whatever loophole was expised in the first half.
Even one more goal might be so imposible now

Its more like Nigeria took their foot off the gas, than what Brazil has done

Elxandre:
Even when they move to top leagues, they still fail to excel, and flicker off, while the Likes of Neymar, Douglas Cousta etc become world beaters.

I'm not watching the tourney.
Please I hope the boys don't look too out of the age grade?

Typical. Commenting on something you never saw.

klexycole:
The Ref Is SOLIDLY AGAINST US!

Mourinho is that you?

inme:
Nigeria been beating everybody at the under 17 level, meet the same players at the senior level... they play pooooh

Overage players claiming 17

Talk about something you know. The days of over aged cheating are long gone. FIFA has since employed the use of various scan technology to screen the ages of the players in the tournaments before they kick the ball.

The main reason they do well in the age tournaments are:
1.No wife and possibly no girl friend and domestic bliss to distract them at this age.
2.,They are playing for their future professional careers as they are being watched by scouts from European clubs.
3. They are more of a team because they had been together for months, training and socialising together, unlike the seniors who arrived from different clubs, leagues, assembled together sometimes few days before a game or few weeks before a tournament.

4. No big ego, no Ferrari to compare yet or telling the coach that he is worth less than their driver, unlike the seniors.
5. There is no fight for money before or during a tournament.
6. At this age, anything is a luxury to them, the seniors will ask about the class they will fly in, the hotel star rating, is the pitch as good their club's?

Just sit back and watch as those that dissected him over Jonathan praise him now and those that praised him then cuts him into bits now.

I hope that the guy that call himself Fayose's spokesman with his many nefarious press statements learned something from this story.
One day, when it comes to the crunch, the Oga at the top will deny your statement and you will be personally liable to libel.

laudate:
Stop beating about the bush. Who voted for the governors??

You are not a child, I have answered your question or you want me to spell it out for you? Let me give another hint: the people that voted for the governors are exactly the same kind of people Saddam Hussein claimed to be voting for him for 30 years or same people that would have voted for Abacha as life president before death snatched him away.

I want you to use your tongue to count your teeth.

Firefire:
God bless Ayodele Fayose, God bless Nigeria.

Sorry if you worship Satan.

Not everyone that raps God's name as hip hop is a godly person. Satan can look like an angle but by the fruits they bear, we know them.

laudate:
Your response is best described as 'a classic case of avoidance,' a.k.a artful dodging. Stop being vague. Your people stood in line and voted for the governors.

I have edited my post but still stand on my initial. There's nothing vague about it. That's your opinion. I know us more than you.

laudate:
Sorry, had to edit your post because I am only concerned with a section of it.

I just want to ask one question - who voted for those governors you mentioned? Were they not your people? Why can't your own Ministers and Senators also copy the example of the Scottish minister, by raising the issue of the referendum at the highest levels?? Why wait for an outsider to do so on your behalf? Just wondering.

Its like asking me who voted for Paul Biya in Cameroon all these years?
Vote, especially in Nigeria is never a true reflection anything.
Go back and read what I wrote again. The ministers or your so called senators cannot raise such an issue because it's against the Nigeria constitution they represent, how can they bite the finger that is feeding them?
They are more scared of Biafra than you, because many of them will run into exile the day Biafra is free from Nigeria am telling you. Many of them cannot visit their villages without a truck load of the security forces even today but still call them selves people's representatives.

philips70:
Contrary to what people have been thinking, APC, nay the presidency has a hand in Saraki's trial. Some departments just want to be seen to be doing their job including EFCC.

That's my take from day one, when the body language changed at Asp Rock, that every agency wants to justify their existence, their budget and to impress.
Unfortunately for Saraki, EFCC decided to start from the top.
If they successfully prosecute him, the flood gate that could open cannot be imagined.
That's why Saraki has many supporters, not because they loved him, but rather they are much concerned about reverberating effect, if he is found guilty for many of his supporters.

simplycarro:
You are one of the few Igbos I respect on this board, so I would allow your insult to fly without returning the favor.
If is in my hand to decide, I will gladly allow the Igbos to go this moment. Igbos are becoming an unnecessary distractions with this their pull down the nation mentality. .

I respect you too and your opinion equally.
I cannot see the insult. But if you view it as an insult, then accept my unreserved apologies as it was not Intended.

Ioannes:
OK, let's do this.

1. yes I do travel a lot outside the country and I know what real development looks like.

Congratulations!

2. the problem is not one Nigeria, the problem is the type of federalism we are practicing. that's what you guys don't get. the solution isn't secession, it is true federalism which the yorubas have been championing since forever where different regions develop their resources and at their own pace.

Your solution is not secession and my solution is secession, so why are you forcing your preferred solution down my throat?
When does what's good for you automatically becomes good for me?
Does that any make sense as someone that claimed to have travelled the world?

3. no I don't think so. your governors in the south east are Igbos, not Yoruba, not Hausa. they havent been able to turn your enclave to a paradise, have they? if you have Biafra these same people will hijack your country and turn it into a mini Nigeria.
our fight should be us, the masses against them the corrupt leadership, not Igbo against Yoruba, Hausa, Tiv, Efik etc.

There you go once again, telling us that you know us more than ourselves. The so called governors are bi-product of Nigeria. Never had our own self elected town union leaders ever had embezzled our cent ever or abused the privilege positions.
Because they know the consequence. The governors are representatives of Nigeria constitution and not us. Their allegiance lies with Abuja and not the people . Who spearheaded the Scottish independent referendum? It's was Scotland's first minister. So how many of you so called governors mention support forBiafra in public?
So don't preach to us what our fight should be. Fight yours as you sees fit and leave us alone to fight ours as we sees fit. We are not seismic twins.
Stop the voyeurism?

4. of course it does. that's why we need to decentralise power to the lowest stratum of governance, the local governments. let the power return to the people.

I quite agree with you on that point but that's our 2nd or 3rd option.
Our first option iremained a total independent of indigenous people of Biafra with nothing to do with Nigeria as a single entity. Period.

5. I'm sorry I'm not sure who you are referring to as miscreants.

Me neither, I don't like name calling.

6. well in Yoruba land we don't call elders fool. yes he is a thief, if you are referring to Obasanjo. and I hope Karma catches up with him one day. but there are people like him also in Igbo land and unless you want to claim that yours is a race of angels then you will have the same problems when you leave Nigeria.

That's what happened when you put too much attention into another person life that you forgot yours looks like. If not, as far as I know Fayose is still a Yoruba man and I cannot count how many times he has called OBJ a fool. Unless you don't count OBJ as an elder in Yoruba?

like I always say, you are free to leave Nigeria. get UN to conduct a plebescite, no violence, that's all.

The utterances and actions doesn't quite match your sentiment. It's like wishing a woman to have a baby but at the same time spiking her drink with birth control pills.

pcicero:
After all said guys I hope you are familiar with what is going on in South Sudan.

I will never wish it for my worst enemy.

They are eating grass for food and drinking blood for water.
No one deserves that and I don't wish it for my compatriots regardless of our differences.

I have nothing against IPOB or other secessionist groups for that matter but I have questions just as the folks in the US asked Nnamdi Kanu and his fellow travellers.

I am Yoruba and I cannot absolve many Yoruba leaders from the mess that Nigeria has become.

How many of you have genuinely asked how your governors have been spending their monthly allocations?

Why are so many South eastern states still largely undeveloped and some of its sons and daughters have become billionaires through government patronage either as government officials or contractors?

Will they import new leaders from Ivory Coast or Tanzania or choose from the corruption-ridden elites that have been there so far?

Will the homogeneous nation be able to carry all component states along or their will be tussle reminiscent of South Sudan?

Questions

So because your senior brother was a terrible husband and a bad father, therefore you decided to become a priest to avoid being like him?

What a nonessential thing to say using South Sudan as an example. Why not use Taiwan while at it?
You guys are seriously running out of excuses telling Biafrans what is good for them than themselves.
Mind your own businesses and leave us alone to make our mistakes.

morbeta:
This is another high profile scam that will keep paying the likes of uwazurike and Kanu till magas eyes open.

Nnamdi Kanu --------the catcher
IPOB------------------the office
Gullible Biafrian-----the magas

Uwazurikr has cashed out already.

Since pastors scam don dey knock, sepratist groups are the new kids on the block.

Why worry so much or bothered a lot about a scam you weren't a victim?
It doesn't make sense.

simplycarro:
When you call the country of your birth a Zoo and refer to her citizens as animals, calling you a miscreant is a good gesture and flattering.

That calls for more question on your own sanity more than anything else, when you insisted on a marriage with a partner that calls you an animal and your marriage a zoo and with you returning in like with your own flattering miscreant good gestures.
What sort of marriage is that? Something seriously is wrong with that person.

So in all of Obasanjo's wisdom, not holding a ministerial position is the reason independent is fought?
Even if Igbo man becomes the president of Nigeria, that won't change anything.
What he forgot is that his so called Igbo ministers and vice presidents hated Biafra more than Obasanjo himself, so his reasoning on the issue is so outdated and meaningless.

If he thinks that Biafrans are enjoying themselves in paradise Nigeria but ungratefully want to return to Babylon, why are you stopping them?

If someone preferred the street to your palatial mansion, why not allow him and then punish him when he started running back from cold and hunger? It's stupid telling someone that you love him more than yourself.

By the way, I thought those like him claimed for years that there are no such thing as abandoned property? That it never happened?
Funny how the truth come out unexpectedly from unexpected sources.
