owolabifunke14: He should have stood his ground. I for once won't agree with the stats that says kano population is lager than lagos. In the other way round,he's a gentle man by resigning because nigerians I know don't ever resign

Gentleman He was simply sacked by his oga at the top to pacify those that could hold him to ransom, the resignation story is just to save his face.

DerideGull: I am certain that irreversible senility is reserved for vacuous numbskulls such as you who conjured that two BMW cars are beyond the reach of a ministry in Nigeria.

He he he take your medication quickly, the effect of the last dose has obviously weaned off your system.

DerideGull: I wondered why NCAA ordered for two vehicles only. Princess Stella Oduah deserves more than two BMW cars.

Irreversible senility

He should learn to talk less next time, good riddance.

[quote author=nnenna.1]How did you come to the conclusion that most Igbos politicians around Jonathan are corrupt? Are you comparing them to Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani office holders?

Are you saying that the Yoruba or Hausa politicians are more honest?[/quote]Read my comment very well before jumping to conclusion, I never mention that all igbos in Jonathan's govt are corrupt neither did I compare them with politicians from other tribes.
Dora Akunyili is not a saint but she's no doubt among the best igbo politicians that has proved to be reliable and patriotic however, igbo or no igbo most cabinet members of Jonathan's govt are crooks whether they are Yoruba, igbo, hausa etc.

[quote author=nnenna.1]As well as Dora Akunyili, arguably the most honest civil servant/politician. Your point?[/quote]Nnenna, why are people like Dora Akunyili not in Jonathan's govt? She was the only prominent igbo politician that stood by Jonathan when Turai and the cabals held him to ransom yet she's the one that's being ignored. Most igbo politicians in Jonathan's cabinet today are reaping where they did not sow.
Why is Jona so attracted to crooks like Stella or even Doyin Okupe?

Dollarjunkie: Ayotollah Tinubu to rule your life forever

The joke is on you mofo, my allegiance is not to Tinubu or any politician.

A thief is a thief be it Igbo,Yoruba, Hausa, British etc
A pig is a pig even if its donned in the best attire with several layers of pancake, lipstick, Mary kay etc

That's why we must call a spade a spade, condemn corruption and bad governance even if your blood relatives are involved otherwise you're part of the problem.

Alxmyr: If she is not fired and handed over to EFCC, then GEJ should not bother to talk about corruption.
We are watching and waiting.

You'll wait for a long time, who told you that GEJ is sincere and ready to fight corruption? Can you give what you don't have?

Unfortunately if you want to survive in Nigeria you'll have to play by the rules otherwise you might end up dead like this man.
In Nigeria you must know the time to attack and the time to retreat especially if you are outnumbered, the other day an engineer was beaten to death because he refused to settle some omo onile.

I'll advise many of us especially those from abroad, don't go to Naija and start doing some gra gra o otherwise you might end up dead and nothing will happen. May God almighty protect us all and RIP to the dead.

olrotimi: Fresh air in kwara, the most backward of the yoruba states. A state without an identity, more or less a prostitute of identity - frolicking with the yorubas in good times & being subservient to the fulanis for crumbs off the political table. I SMH for Kwarans

Why drink panadol for Kwarans headache? Na so you get time reach? Go and mend your cloth where its torn, lo ran aso e nibiti o ti ya.

vanstanzy: GEJ for life!

GEJ to rule your life forever!

igbeke: wat? An !diot posted dis and some lun@tics liked it?
Sincerely, u guys will never seize to amaze me. what do u truly want? a listening leader or a dictator like abacha?
as for dat tinubu, Yorubas shud pls for once, prove to him dat u are wiser.

You're a cretin! What is presidential about Jona? From eating 1billion Naira food, to calling boko haram his brothers or to responding to every comments made against him via his attack dogs?
Nigeria need a decisive, determined, proactive and patriotic president but unfortunately Jona lacked any of these attributes, his sluggish talent could be put to a better use if he joins his mates in Nollywood simples.

A SOVEREIGN National Conference is what we need not one yeye conference that will be subjected to the manipulation of both the national assembly as well as the executive. A sovereign national conference whose representatives will be chosen by a separate voting system and whose submission will be binding on both the legislature and the executive as well as all Nigerians.

Thank GEJ for making sure it rains, how persin go survive without the rain GEJ na you biko o

Jona will do very well in mr Ibu's role

This track is one of those tracks I cannot but wonder how baba commander got the inspiration for its lyrics. The way he sing praises of the Association of Friends is oustanding, please sing along:

“Alhaji Sule Onabiyi Chairman Association of friends mi;

Prince Adeleke Adesina, President Association of friends mi.
First Vice President Engineer Akin Abiola,

General Secretary Sola Adeyemi.

On bo o, on boo, on boo, Alhaji Sule, (o n booo)

“up aso aso association, up aso aso association……..”

“Chief Adu Fatai omo Irawo,

This is a great development, I hope it sees the light of the day as it will improve Nigeria's vocational skills. At the moment Nigeria lacks skilled tradesmen especially, mechanics, electricians, builders, etc

[quote author=young bu..]Fash is a green snake under a green grass. He is a frick I hate him, he is de most dangerious govornor,he is unkind, selfish greedy,wicked I hate him he is a fake[/quote]Go and jump into lagoon now, who dey hold you

Mgbadike80: Three big gbosas for shymexx and abbey2sam for derailing a very beautifull thread out of their tribalistic madness. I hope ur happy now?

What is tribalistic in their posts? Sometimes I wonder if folks like you use a different dictionary from the rest of us. I have not seen a forum where words like 'bigot', 'coward' or 'tribalist' being wrongly used like Nairaland.
If you disagree with their posts simply highlight what you disagree with rather than seeing everything from tribal lens.

shymexx: When I initially saw this topic yesterday, knowing the mentality of the OP and how corny he's, I just had to ignore the thread. However, I think I'll just add my opinion and disregard the messenger. I Definitely know the OP is a snake; his ways are chameleonic; and there's an Igbotic agenda behind his sermon.

Anyway, if Nigeria needs to stop copying foreign things, we need to start with things that we currently export to other countries, which we term as "Nigerian" - but are more or less a bad copy of foreign things. Let's start with Afrobeats - what's Nigerian about that genre of music? It's more or less the Nigerian way of copying American hip-hop artists. I'd say it's an utterly bad copy since almost all the music sound the same and all the music they make are feel good music. Regardless, I do like a few Afrobeats tunes, but I'm trying to paint a picture here.

Let's move to nollywood, which is actually a disgrace to everything Nigerian. Even the name alone is a bad copy. What's Nigerian about nollywood movies? Don't even get me started on how rubbish, un-African and utterly disgusting their movies are. I'd rather watch the sun in the sky or overdose of crack-cocaine than watch nollywood movies, to be honest. And I'm sure tons of Nigerians share my sentiments. No one around me watches nollywood - that's me keeping it 100%.

Lastly, I'd say Nigerian people themselves aren't really Nigerians. Most Nigerians want to be everything else but Nigerian (including the OP and his myopic Americophile junk). So how can you tell people who thrive on copying everything that's foreign and aren't themselves, to stop something that's already ingrained in their psyche? It would be easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than to achieve that. Copying foreign things is as Nigerian as the Nigerian flag - get used to it.

PS: UNIX was developed by AT&T.

I agree with the bold 100%

eaglechild: I gave a candid advise.
No need to get worked up.
It has nothing to do with bigotry.

Keep your silly advise to yourself!

eaglechild: All these glorified secondary schools littered all over the SW.
Tai Solarin , OOU, etc;
Should learn to give lectures in English, if it is not Yoruba major being taught.

You're a cretin! Can you think of anything else except bigotry and hatred towards Yorubas?

My ability to be myself anytime, as for me what you see is what you get. Also my ability to wean myself of any habit/addiction, this my unique ability is an asset I won't trade for anything. I can practically do without many things that most people can't do without.
