PrecisionFx:Do people from your enclave have any form of shame? I know it won't. |
PrecisionFx:I only gave you a reason to wail. Knowing you ibos are born to cry. He wasn't. ![]() |
rhemmiedream:I only wanted that idiot to wail. |
PrecisionFx:Yes he was. |
Cooly100:You are just typing like a brainless dolt. Read your post that I responded to. Come online with your brain intact next time before typing trash osu. |
Cooly100:Wawa ibo, read your post again. If both are the same why creating imaginary division. Just so you know, we can't be divided like your guys that are torn between fake and real ibos and osu and freeborn dichotomy. Your antics can't work. |
Cooly100:Benjamin adekunle that killed millions of flat heads was a Christian, ditto gowon. Your flat head is affecting your reasoning. |
Cooly100:I thought northerners issued you a quit notice? You need to be excommunicated from real ibos. Your osu blood is affecting your reasoning. |
How did you arrive at your conclusion my wawa osu brother? Go to Facebook and see millions of northerners supporting buhari and millions of Yorubas against buhari. It's only on nairaland that they have very few population. |
buskie13:You don't have to win a balon d'or to be a star. How many stars have even won a balon d'or? Neymar, Hazard, Iniesta, Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lampard, etc have not won it. |
NaijaMutant:You didn't bother to read and rush to comment just to get likes from hateful bigots like you. Says so much about your intelligence. |
Mesh89:Can you point out the lie? |
LargeBreed:How? Can you prove it? |
No one has been able to refute his claim. Everyone just writing trash to get likes. I'm sorry for these hateful youths. |
buskie13:You don't become anything in football based on the country you play for, but your performance in your club. If he plays well for his club, he could be Clint Dempsey or better. America have had their stars too. |
buskie13:He's an attacker. I saw him represent USA in last year's under 17 world cup. |
legitnow:And ibos belong to Yoruba. |
legitnow:I don't argue with kids who think soldiers in the Nigerian army fighting for their country equals to Yoruba wanting them to remain in Nigeria. How many Yorubas have you come across that wants to be in the same country with you? If a referendum is conducted today, you will be amazed that most Yorubas want out of Nigeria more than igbos sef. Your elders were the ones begging northerners the last time they were issued quit notice. Your governors, elected Representatives all want Nigeria over biafra, I wonder how they are all Yoruba. Kid reason with your brain. |
legitnow:I don't care if you hate Yoruba or not. But we are the ones tolerating you, not the other way round. If you hate Yoruba, walk the talk and stop littering our land. We have shown our stand by avoiding your land like a plaque infested land. |
legitnow:Igbos tolerate Yoruba or Yorubas tolerate igbos? Who depends on the other? You better get your head in check before writing nonsense. I only responded to the guy that said because okute sounds like igbo therefore ijaws must be biafra. I don't have time for your gibberish. |
legitnow:Lol. Yorubas don't have oil now. And you can't dominate Yoruba in biafra. ![]() |
thatigboman:Like what parts? |
Ofodirinwa:It is Okute in Ijaw and Okuta in Yoruba. Are Yorubas also part of Biafra? |
A former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Amadu Ali, says he supported tenure elongation for former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006 because the ex-President had done remarkably well. Ali said this in his biography titled, ‘The Many Colours of a Rainbow,’which was launched in Abuja on Thursday. In the 423-page book written by Gideon Tseja, the former PDP chairman said Obasanjo was not part of any scheme but had merely submitted 106 proposals to the National Assembly one of which included tenure elongation. He said the decision to support Obasanjo’s tenure extension was a personal one and he never used his position as party chairman to manipulate the system in favour of Obasanjo. The book read, “What happened was that in the previous PDP administration (1999-2003) a number of constitutional amendments – 106 of them – was proposed. The new House took up the unfinished business which had been publicised and gazetted and began to debate. “One of the proposed amendments was on the extension of the term of the President. The press focused on this one proposal and spawned new emotive descriptions to characterise the proposal as ‘President for life’, sit-tight President,’ tenure elongation campaign and so on. “Senator Amadu Ali had his personal views about it and in fact, supported Obasanjo’s ‘tenure elongation’ wholeheartedly because he genuinely believed that Obasanjo was an extraordinarily good leader in spite of his perceived failings.” Ali, who was also a Federal Commissioner for Education during the ‘Ali Must Go’ university protests which left students killed in 1978, said he was wrongly blamed for the incident. He explained that the protests erupted after the decision to increase the lodging fee from N150 to N468 per session while the cost of feeding was also increased by 50k. The former PDP chairman said the decision was taken by the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, Prof. Jibril Aminu, and Chief of Staff to the Supreme Military Council, Gen Shehu Yar’Adua, without his knowledge. Speaking at the event which had in attendance, ex-President Obasanjo and former military Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, the former PDP chairman called on youths to stop waiting for power to be handed over to them. Ali, who is the protem chairman of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, said Gowon, who was 31 when he became head of state, had already imbued himself with leadership skills before he rose to power as he was already controlling a battalion of 1,000 men before becoming commander-in-chief. Also speaking at the event, Obasanjo praised Ali for his love for Nigeria. The former President said he and Ali had done many good and ‘bad’ things together including when they sacked United States officials from their embassy in the early 1970s. Obasanjo said, “Amadu Ali had been appointed the head of the NYSC and he needed an office and it was being occupied by the American embassy and it was too close to the cabinet office. It was something we had complained and protested against and we expected the Americans to vacate and be given an alternative office but they wouldn’t leave. “So, Amadu Ali and I conspired together that we would move the Americans out of that office. Of course, I belonged to the corps of engineers I had military men under my command, Amadu had none under his command so I had to be used to perform the task. And I made it a military operation. “By 4am soldiers had surrounded the office and when the Americans were coming to work in the morning, they were not allowed to go in and of course, I didn’t realise the diplomatic implication. They moved out and Amadu Ali had an office. “But it didn’t stop there because the Americans violently protested and I was reported to the Commander-in-Chief, Gen. Yakubu Gowon and I was carpeted. So, when I spoke with Gen Gowon this morning about the incident, he said, ‘So, Amadu Ali was part of it?’ and I said, “Amadu Ali was the cause of it!” Gowon said Obasanjo would have been dismissed from the army for causing a diplomatic incident but was spared because he was too important to be let go.

No comment. Yet it's on FP. Na wa o |
Halopy:And you know this how? Are you saying they a bunch of slowpokes that cannot reason for themselves? |
It's a step in the right direction. But I don't get why his name is being mentioned here. Is he a part of the state assembly that passed the law? |
Nigerians or ipobians? Where is your source? Ipob bureau of statistics I guess. |
I beg to disagree with the notion that azikiwe was patriotic. He was only greedy. He wanted to conquer other people's with his one Nigeria and pan Africanism. He was a tribalist to the core. Funny enough, today his people call others unity beggers. |
Before commending or condemning the administration on this, I would like to know the average inflow from previous administrations. |
