₦airaland Forum

Because many Igbos and Yorubas understands spoken English and apart from the Nigerian territory or small portion within the Benin Republic, there are no other place you can find the Igbos and Yorubas speakers or audience. Unlike Hausa language spoken in over 10 countries or more.
Its simple economics and market audience.

What about in the day?
I take it you sleep in the day and alive in the night?

kardoso: I don't believe in tribal or ethnic politics. We are all blacks and are all Nigerians . We are all the same to me. One people . God save us all from all this I come from this or that tribe or state.

I took it you had just been registered into Nairaland fraternity. Give it few weeks after your full immersion and baptism into the real Nigeria, then let see if you feel the same way Mr One people. The we can talk.

ddeola: Abati...your days are numbered. You and your boos will soon be "boothed" out. Nigeria needs leaders with sound mind who are focussed

Nonsense!
His days hasn't started yet, let alone numbered. He is doing the job the likes of Uche Chukwumerije or Adeniji's of the world had done in the past. Wait till he writes his memoir after he finished and witness as all the who is who in the Nigeria criminal elite world lining up to give him his retirement dollars at the book launch.

gregg2: This whole thing was fabricated by Tinubu and his gang to forestall posible probe of his loot. The strategy was to raise an alarm using an Abuja-based newspaper (not Lagos) so Nigerians don't suspect they were behind it. There was no presidential directive anywhere. No bromide exist anywhere. The so-called bromide publish by leadership newspaper was a mere graphic work that was poorly done by an amateur.

The way things are going. if your wives are to become bad cooks, you must surely blame it on Tinubu.
The Tinubu guy must surely be enjoying this invincible, all powerful and notoriety you guys are moulding out of him, when in reality he hasn't got half of the will you people are ascribing to him without knowing it.

Sincere 9gerian: "Now he's the mouthpiece of the same people who makes the life of Nigerians more difficult"

Did you just utter that gibberish? What do you mean by "Now he's the mouthpiece of the same people who makes the life of Nigerians more difficult"? Perhaps you were refering to Fashola and Tinubu who may be making "the life of (Lagosians) more difficult" (according to you)

You are starting to sound like Abati himself. So you don't know yet those who makes the life of Nigerians ever more difficult or are you asking for the sake of it?
Well if you needed reminding, its has always been the Nigerian ruling elites, that includes the Fashola or Tinubus of this world you mentioned, but their current mafiaso as we speak is Goodluck Jonathan, who speaks through Abati.

This topic is not about Tinubu or anyone else but Abati and who speaks for Goodluck Jonathan and Aso Rock Villa. When the issue centred on Tinubu and his different branch of people's tormentors, then we will dissect it on its own merit.
This time its about about a shameless parasitic worm who use to call himself a journalist but now advocating detention of former colleagues for writing a story he deemed untruth in a democracy. I wonder if the same method is applied in the U.S, how many Fox News editors will be cooling their heels at various U.S prisons by now.
And here you are justifying it just because you are blindly following some politicians who doesn't give a hoot about me and you.

Abujafood: Does the Leadership Newspaper have any real defense other than press freedom? Question remains provide proof that the document you published isn't falsified, they're yet to comply!

I thought its the other way round?
Prove that the document is forged with all evidence available to you, including going to a law court instead muscling your accused, just because you got the power, which in effect, gives your accused more credence.

CyberG: How about all the 200000 KMs of roads he constructed, the huge port in Anambra, the massive ultra modern 25th century airport in Owerri and the floating cities he constructed in the heart of iboland?? GEJ is the best for iboz except you can prove that iboz did not give Ebelechukwu Azikiwe retardeen 99.9999% of their votes!

Its never pretty making fun of oneself. And I don't intend encouraging you.

[quote author=segun-obe]Someone should pls ask Dr Fasehun how he plans to fund the UPN. We all know floating a political party in Naija no be beans.[/quote]The same way old version of UPN was funded and their later born AD-ACD-AC-ACN was equally funded-money from the public purse, local, state and federal.

OsunOriginal: Learn politics from Igbos? How? What political experience do ibos have? The last I check, a ibo man has not even slept in villa as VP talkless of being a president. What political knowledge are you talking about that has not given you the highest seat in the land.

Other tribes who have headed the country democratically should now go to Igboland to learn how not to win election or how not to have a formidable party?

You make me laugh. When Igbos should begin to see how they can enrol for political fundational training (PFT 101) in SS.

So, to you politics is all about sleeping at the Villa?
Well, OBJ not only slept their but danced kokoma their for 8 years and how did that change your life?

This opportunistic idiots should leave our Ikemba in peace to rest. Why should Ndigbo ostracise an unknown guy for having an opinion? Ikemba is our finest icon dead or alive but not our Chineke and never lived his entire life as one too.
The bedrock of Igbo way of life is based on freedom to express your opinion among your peers, no matter your statu, background and so on, even when your opinion is not worth airing.
Hence we never ascribed to one person lording it over everyone else,no matter how powerful or rich. Funny how certain pinheads like Umeh never ever learn from the past, as he made himself, another Chekwas Okorie.

dayokanu: Fasheun we are watching you

Go and read what happened to those who declared Do or die politics in the SW in 2003-2007

You watch as you like, but it a traditional ingredient of western politics-blood, tears and from from day one. Only that you guys make us believe otherwise, but we knew all the time that you live in pimpers paradise.

Awo vs OBJ

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Stop acting like you don't know fasheun is being used to split yoruba votes by someone possibly from the ruling party.we have seen it before when Rochas okorocha formed Action Alliance and was funded by Obj to split votes in the east during the 2003 presidential elections !

No qualms cuz this UPN will die a natural death like the AD.we know who really is the true regent of Awolowo ![/quote]Here we go! Trouble in paradise.
How can they split vote when We thought you are the most sophisticated, the most educated, most united and the most naira haters, where everyone reason the same way like programmed robots?

The week the wannabe APC emerged, all we heard from the likes of you is how Igbos can sell their parents for money just because some men wanted to register a party with the same name others planned to use.
Today with those wanting to resurrect UPN being your brothers. nothing about your own version of greed or love of money is being talked about.

It goes to show, how pathetic it can make one look when you boast about certain thing about a people, when we can't even honestly be sure of our own families.

Daresh: I've said it b4 and I'll say it again. When all you Igbo ppl were voting Goodluck I said dont. This guy has nothing good in store for you. Una no hear. Why una dey complain? Enjoy the fresh air!

FYI I'm Igbo too

And who did you and your people voted for in alternative. Mr adviser?

ifeduba1988: Mr President Goodluck Jonathan must not play politics with the lives of hundreds of Igbos killed in the boko haram uprising.

Maybe Mr President is delude and wrongly impressed that He will gain Northern vote by granting amnesty to the Al Queda link boko haram islamic sect

Its a weird policy with serious negative implication

When has Jonathan ever being with the Igbos in the face place? Only that some of my Igbo brothers that never learn about how Nigerian works kept fooling themselves about Jonathan.

dayokanu: You were asking me a question the other time? Whats your question again

If you knew that I asked you a question, it meant that you knew what the question was.
And why do you quote something of no relevance with you as a reference point?
Deception and I am not falling for it. I am right because, even the above of your quote has disappeared already.

EzeUche: This is a big shame for Nigerians living in the US.

There is nothing shameful about it- How shameful are Columbians in the U.S about cocaine business? Italians about their Mafia business, Mexican and their child trafficking issues or Russians and their money laundering racketeering?
This Is part of a global crime epidemic, its only that Yoruba often tell us that Igbos love money, while themselves hated it, and that includes Yorubas like IGP Balogun or Erasmus Akingbolu.

ak4God: No matter what happened,Yoruba still remain the best tribe in Nigeria.Our eye don open many yrs b4 others.

How Igala man like Ahmadu Ali would disagree with you. But who can blame you though?
Only a foolish boy will go to the village square and broadcast that his mother is a bad cook.

ufotuko: insult me?u insulting me to me will be like a mad woman that is on the road eating bread from a refuse dump and wants to give me the bread to it,who no know say u be mad woman?no be ur fault na seun I blame wey allow people like u to come nairaland come dey talk among where human beings dey,na for nairaland I go see were animals and human beings dey talk.na mad woman like u dey make people dey feel say igbo people are tribalistic not knowing that igbo people are nice people and not foolish like the way u are,ur papa just waste him sperm born u.smh

You still haven't acknowledge your mishap or mistake of calling Ibori an Igbo man when he wasn't (not that there are no thieves like him in Igboland). The first mark of a true man or woman is to acknowledge their mistakes. But here you are busy, being a typical Nigerian, never wrong on anything.

ItsModella: Seriously, some of you need to put your emotions in check. Do you really think the Americans or whoever it is that arrested them give a flying fück whether they're Igbos or Yorubas? All they know is that they are NIGERIANS. Our country's name has been soiled once more and all you guys care about is the tribe involved. Bloody shame.

You are right, they don't give a damn-which tribal mark you got on your face, all they know or see is Nigeria and nothing else, it just here in Nairalnad, Yorubas often pontificate how they hate money so much, while Igbos likes it more than their mothers.

If there 22 out of 32 arrested as Nigerians here, I wondered how many it would if such a raid is conducted in Thamesmead/Woolwich in South East London? That area is now said to be the credit card capital of Great Britain. Passing through Woolwich recently you felt like you are in Oshodi or Ojuelegba. Frightening looking Nigerian men and women playing card in the middle of the afternoon.

Man united should not be mocked.
They did their best. Losing with just one goal to Chelsea and playing without their two best players Howard Webb and Mark Clantenburg is not a disgrace.
