This is Pat Utomi with Chris Christie, the Gov of the state of New Jersey, USA. See, Utomi attended the RNC convention without anyone knowing except those who needed to know. Unlike Tinubu the chief liar and noisemaker, Utomi knows that is not a big deal to attend political meetings, especially when you are a mere spectator and not making any speech.

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^Bruh, i'm afraid you're looking at it through the rose-tinted glasses of the 1950's .....they'll first need to tidy up the river banks b/4 considering hotels and attracting tourists; just compare the colour of the water and banks of the niger in the 50's (so blue and fresh) to todays river niger, and you'll get my point.

Yeah! I know, but my proposals do not have to be restricted to the Onitsha axis of the river. How about in other sub-urban portions/towns of the state where the river runs through? Perhaps in the lower Ogbaru area?

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^Just as long as they remember to conserve the forests and not chop trees down indiscriminately (jezz, that's a long word!) for firewood and farmland.

Yeah! Deforestation is one of the banes of the Nigerian ecosystem.

P. Igbo:

Just wondering: Are there sandy beaches along the R. Niger bank? Are there hotels located along the banks? Some tourism can be started there you know based on artificially beaching the place, if there are no natural beaches.

doctokwus: Propaganda frm an incompetent clown occupyin govt office.It seems dats d only tin dese eastern govs are gud at,spewning propaganda of incompetence everyday

Who is this efulefu?

Alaigbo is so lush. The natural greeness of the environment trips me so bad.

Proud Igbo:

This road is one of the most stupidly constructed road I have ever seen. The erosion by the left is starring everyone in the face and they cannot put vertical barriers to prevent cars falling into it? Hm!!!

Yoruba barbarians. I just pray those killed Engineers are fellow Yorobbers as their killers. Or else................
Can someone tell Yorobbers this is 21st century and not 7th century??

Okay let's cut Tinubu some slack. We have sufficiently exposed him
1. Obama does not know him
2. Obama did not invite him
3. He was invited via the same channel that other attendees were invited
4. He paid money like others, to attend.
5. Sumary: Tinubu lied about his invitation for cheap political gains

Case closed

Desola: are you always anally s.tupid and re.tarded? What does SW Nigeria connote to you? Anuofia!

You green-eyed monkey. When did SW = Yoruba? So millions of non-Yorobbers residing there are suddenly to be classified as Yorobbers? Olori buruku, oni ranu

bashr8: i have nothign against the culture or way of life but its wrong to venture into someones property and no culture permits that, buy the lands yourselves, you dont even need to venture south theres a enough land in the north , i used to think the north was all desert till i saw pictures the other of northern states ,its actually as green as the south and with such a large land mass there will be less issues of land disputes unlike the south so whats the problem ?

Lol. All the good lands, like those you see in the photos you mentioned, have been taken over by the northern military and political elites. There no longer is any free good land in the North. All that is left is eroded, flooded or desertified land. That is why the normads venture south steadily.

ndu_chucks: One thing is certain, the normads are not going to buy no land from anyone. Its best to accept this reality and come of with creative ways to solve the problem. Since no one has a way of reengineering the way of life of these nomads anytime soon, I've suggested the creation of federal reserve zones where these nomads can live with minimal negative impact on the rest of us. May I suggest that the rest of you suggest other possible solutions and lets see what we end up with.

@naijaking1, I don't think you can blame the Fulanis for decertification which is caused by population growth and its demand on agricultural resources has promoted the desertification process. You cannot blame them for over cultivation either, for obvious reasons.

You cannot simply wish 15million nomads away, you've got to find proper solutions to the problems you are creating for them and those you believe they are causing for you.

Oh! Now you increased their number from 12 mil to 15 mil. Bunch of 7th century liars.
Those people who are knifing and stabbing innocent property owners will soon feel the loss of all patience by those they harass. And by the way, the fulani coming out to ask for this silly right indicates they are already feeling the heat of their fights with land owners. It is a matter of time and the normadic life will be squeezed outta them for good.

Desola: How do the Yorubas come into this now?

Where did you read Yoruba here? Are you myopically paranoid?

I can only laugh at the topic. Land rights ko, right lands ni. They for ask me to quit my house so they can turn it into a cattle ranch. These fulani will soon get what they deserve in Nigeria.

BlackPikiN: Nwanne madu idi egwu!! lol

E'chem na Ibru by onye ACN

The SS leaders will be waiting forever to reap the benefits of their son being in power. Northerners ruled and the North did not reap anything tangible. So did Obasanjo and the SW. How will GEJ be different? This is one reason am indifferent about an Igbo president for Nigeria. Their son might give them positions, but that is individual and not collective benefit. That is the much they can get from Nigeria that is so, so mis-structured.

naijaking1: How Tunubu come go America without FBI calling him in for some question about those drug charges

They should check his face against his genuine old passports. Am sure he traveled with a fake passport bearing a fake name.

So can we say Ibru and other SW residents who attended the meeting have stabbed the SW in the back? I dey laff oh!! At the day's end, everyone don answer their papa name. For these people, blood (originally from SS) strong pass water (residing in the SW)

whitecat007: FSU, post your father's pix here so we can see if he's not frog eyed like him.

Oloju Opolo

asha 80: hehe na trouble you dey look for.

But na true na.

asha 80: are you sure jimoh is a real businessman though?i mean
he bought NICON and the enterprise died; he bought Air Nigeria and it died; he also bought Dele Giwa's Newswatch news magazine and it is also dying.

Apparently he is not a good business man. He should go talk to small Igbo boys in Alaba on how to grow a business.

asha 80: remembering this thread and seeing what is going on with nigerian airways just cracks me up

Hahahaah! But seriously can the stranded passengers not sue for not only a refund but for inconvenience? Oh! If this happened in the USA, Jimoh would be signing checks by now.

And his airline just folded up, leaving Nigerians who paid for return tickets stranded in the UK. Is he still not bigger than Branson? Yorobbers and their loud mouth.

truth4meal: Another Tinubu post...o dabi igba ti Asiwaju she ogun awure ni...Iberu 1 of the world, oro e lon so ni'gboro ekun oko haters - ma ba ise re lo. Olori buruku oni ma se oriburuku, iwo ti se ori ire na ota le ma pegan...Asiwaju!!!

Blah! blah!! blah!!! Please speak a human language, not one of goats. Gbe!!! gbe!!!

Pray tell, how will Marine Engineering benefit Kano State? Are they hoping that after the training these folks will then work in the marine facilities located in the South? Why not train people in areas you have comparative advantage in or where the impact of the education will be actually felt? How about training in Medicine, Mining, Agriculture, Natural Resources Management, Mechanical/Civil/Construction Engineering that will benefit the Kano tax payers?

DEVELOPING STORY: How Tinubu Got to DNC’s Convention in North Carolina
Thursday, 06 September 2012 10:22

Sharpedgenews.com in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the Democratic National Committee is holding its 2012 convention, has obtained proof that contrary to news being sold in Nigeria, President Barack Obama did not personally extend what has been dubbed “a gold card invitation” to notable Nigerian politician, Mr. Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

DNC sources irked by the suggestive news reports which is being interpreted that Barack Obama may have extended a preferential invitation to Mr. Tinubu in spite of similar politicians in his native country of Nigeria said that such notion was further from reality as was alleged that the ACN leader

The DNC source explained to sharpedgenews.com that the invite that was given to Tinubu was a generic type that similarly went to whomever donated more than $5,000 to the Obama campaign.

“The invitation card went to Tinubu, the former senator from Nigeria, was generic and it generally goes from the campaign organization and not personally from President Obama,” the highly placed source explained under condition of anonymity.

The source told sharpedgenews.com that it would be difficult for anyone to implicate Obama in attemots at foisting a preferred leadership on Nigeria or Africa as that would negate the philosophy of Washington’s new international engagement.

“Nigerians are capable of determining its destiny,” said the source.

The source said that politicians are free to strategize, while explaining that “it is immoral to deceive anyone that we are who we are not.”

“This gentleman is not like your popular national icon, businessman Moshood Abiola, who was well-grounded and at home with many people in government and private sector. Americans don’t want to be dragged into the affairs of any country through personal preferences. The man probably did what he had to do in order to gain access to the convention ground.”

The former governor of Lagos State has junketed in a private jet from Nigeria to Chicago in Illinois, Tampa in Florida, Washington DC to London and back to Charlotte, North Carolina in the last two weeks. The Reverend Jesse Jackson is seen as his anchor for a book launch and attendance at the DNC convention.

Tinubu the ACN leader, the leader of the Yoruba, is a cheap liar. But am not surprised, he is behaving true to type. I know a Yoruba guy who arrived from Nigeria only nine months ago with an F1 visa, and so is 1000% ineligible to vote. Right now in his face book page is the statement ''I am voting for my president, Barrack Obama''. The other time they claim YabaTech is the oldest institution of higher learning in Africa and third oldest in the world. I weak for Yoruba fufil oh!!

PapaBrowne: Saharareporters. Do they always have to get their stories wrong?? Hundreds of thousands of dollars in Jalingo with Corpers

That is Sahara misreporters for you. Buncha exaggerators

All these half-educated, money-miss road traders should stop messing around with Igbo virtues.
