For real ?
Are you calling Asari's bluff ?

That dude started militancy in the Niger Delta.If he sneezes,the whole of the creeks catch cold.
He should be handled with diplomacy and not by show of power or force like what some pillocks here are suggesting..

My friend, Asari has been treated by past govt-Obasanjo in particular with diplomacy and care but he has gone too far under Jonathan administration and he ll be killed like chicken any moment from now and nothing will happen.

Trust me, the northerner and southern elites(politicians and military) have tolerated him enough but he thinks that he is a special specie that can't be touched unknown to him that Nigeria elites don't just get rid of you like that; they wait till your cup is full and Asari's cup is full....

After Jonathan tenure, there ll be no sympathy from the western based media towards their struggle as militants anymore. They used to enjoy a lot of media attention but that has gone now.

Having made part of North to look like Somalia in the past 4 years of Jonathan administration as result of Boko haram menace, Chaiii!!!! I pity people from Bayelsa axis if Asari and his likes think that the next Northerner govt would be soft on them.

The hide and seek riot in the Creek is a different ball game if a Nigeria govt declare full war on militants. The creek will become a plain field for battle in a full war and if doubt me, pls ask any living Biafra and Nigeria soldier abt their experiences during the civil war or better still, pick up 1st and 2nd world war and see how creeks are turned to a playground in a full war.

If Nigeria army with 65% northerners could use bombs on Boko haram; Hmmmmm! !!! Asari shouldn't subject his Ijaw people to what Ojukwu( finest military officer failed to achieve) mistakenly subjected his people to. It's obvious that the world power; US has stopped buying our oil and Nigeria state ll always have US and Britain support while China and Russia ll be using the lives of Ijaws(Asari deceiving himself with Niger deltans) to sell their unused weapons and negotiate with the west. Asari should learn from Middle east and Libya

Pvin:
GEJ will still go far with or without them

GEJ is finished politically bro. He ll be treated like a man with leprosy after his tenure (few weeks to today).

He has stepped on toes within PDP and they are only waiting for his exit before THE PDP vultures pounce on him. Jonathan singlehandedly destroyed PDP as a result of selfishness.....

If GMB's cabinet finally turns out to be what this thread is predicting, then I smell a huge marginalization of the SS and SE.

You forget how these two regions marginalised SW and d North.....

blank:
Even Fashola won't be able to solve the rot that is the power sector. We, Nigerians, are the issue. Except he is ready to pull out everything and start from scratch without Nigerians, I don't see him making any appreciable impact.

You are right my friend. I remember how determined Chief Bola Ige was when he was chose by Obasanjo to lead Power ministry but as soon as he settles down in office, d enemies within started shooting at him

cuteboy2:
I definitely thought about these two. I have my reservations about Utomi on account of how he ran Volkswagen of Nigeria (VON) aground. As a member of the economic team, yes since he understands the underlying currents of Political-Economy purely from theoretical perspective. I believe he also has high level of personal integrity.

Bros, forget Pat Utomi; that guy naturally belong to class.

You forget to mention BANK PHB....

arewafederation:
Nobody mentioned Rt Hon. Rotimi Amaechi....

I would like him to double as Chief of staff and EFCC boss .

>: !!!! You are very wicked oooo. Rotimi Amaechi as EFCC Chairman

Patience Jonathan, Nnamdi Azikiwe Gudluck Jonathan and Wike ll not spend one day outside prison during his reign as EFCC chairman

irunoobo:
[b]This election is not about GEJ been scammed in southwest or not. The people of the SW and north spoke the truth with their votes. It is unfortunate the Igbos made a wrong political gamble by supporting GEJ even though he failed woefully and did nothing tangible for their region. They failed to forget the past and embrace national unity hence their political decisions has always damaged their chances of having a major political influence or relevance in the Nigerian system. Cry

There were so many indications that Jonathan was going to lose - He prepared late; he was careful with the timing of his declaration, when body language showed he was interested. He had no message for the people. All I heard were trains and fertilizers, YouWin, benin-Ore road and SureP(Really?) for 6 years. His campaign strategies reeled of derogatory statements and unnecessary personality attacks instead of concrete manifestos. APC employed consultants, PDP employed losers (FFKs, Okupe, Abati, Reuben, TANs etc). Jonathan heated the polity with ethnic-religious campaign strategies, jumping from one church to another; what do you think the Muslims would do? His wife continued to make derogatory statements against the North calling them names for making babies they can't cater for and insulting them with the constant mention of Almajiri schools. He was deceived by his aides , greedy people around him and he became a sectional leader. He was a bad product and I made mention of this regularly, a bad product never sells.

So I would say he scammed himself, he deceived himself by running to the south west bribing kings for endorsements as if the masses don't know what they really want.


He has successfully created a divide along tribal, religious and ethnic line all around the country and it will take a massive national reorientation to restore our national unity.

I will not pat him at the back for conceding defeat cos he already knew what awaits him if he acted on the contrary. He was part of the crew that ousted Gbagbo and he is fully aware of the watchful eyes of the ICC and instead of spending the rest of his life in jail like Gbagbo, he chose to return to Otueke to enjoy his loot in peace.

Gej should have won this elections easily if he had the interest of the masses at heart. He will forever live with the stigma of the first incumbent president to be ousted in Nigeria.[/b]

This is a replica of my thought. You nailed it.

Beauty attracts admirers.....

Buhari should cover this Queen in hijab oh...the Vaseline crew is not smiling.

You are fucking hilarious..... Jeez!!!! Nigerians!!! I think you guys are from different God...

DeRay98:
You said it all, i posted a similar observation on my FB post last week. the igbos are intelligent people but their leaders sometimes fail to see things the way they are instead, they resort to guts and sentiment. only Okorcha saw the future and alligned with and he has been vindicated.
their leaders detest APC and called Yoruba party see what they will face in the next 4 yrs unless Buhari uses his elderly wisdom to be magnanimous and help their people. their leaders have their problem, bunch of self seeking elders only after their own pocket. who will they blame now if they cant any major position in govt?

Let speak the truth and shame the devil. This attitude of hiding behind one finger in order not to upset a certain region of the country is not my thing. After all, Northerners were called all sort of names as a result of Boko haram menace and Yorubas were called all sort of names during wild wild west political brouhaha....

Jonathan administration revealed how tribal Igbos can be if opportunity presents itself. Please I m not one of those that would come here to patronise them, let's speak the truth at all time and shame d devil. The good thing about other Nigerians is their forgiving spirit and the fact that other Nigerians easily forget things and move with their lives, otherwise Igbos would have equally been paid back with their own coins.

Prior to Jonathan administration, the new generation of Nigerians believed that Igbos were truly being marginalised at the federal level going by their "marginalisation rhetorics" year in, year out. However, it was not only a shock to me but an act of wickedness to see the same people dancing to the fact that all the sensitive governmental positions are being occupied by their sons and daughter; forgetting that one day, just one day, it ll be the turn of other people. It was the same show of shame, hatred towards other ethnic groups and Marginalisation of others under Aguiyi Ironsi administration. Aguiyi Ironsi attention was even called to the development but refused to listen. Can Igbo ever complain of marginalisation anymore in this country? Capital No.

Stop blaming their leaders; the followers are even worse than their leaders. Haven't u read their repulsive utterances on various social media platforms against Hausas and Yorubas? Were they coerced to write those gibberish against others by their leaders? No. Remember that a snake ll not give birth to goat....

Historically, Akintola tried to let Yorubas follow the footpath of Igbos as far as politics is concerned, having seen and witnessed what Igbos did in the East in 60s. The same Akintola experience back in 60s repeated itself again in last gubernatorial election in Anambra state where these people were openly preaching hatred towards Hausas and Yorubas in particular; tagged APC a Yoruba party but the good thing is that Yorubas refused to follow that footpath.....

Finally, I was having a discussion with my fellow Igbo church members on Sunday about Nigeria politics and I realised that they were all supporting Jonathan and i asked them the reason why their support were given to Jonathan, none of them could utter a word; so 8th shows that their support for Jonathan was a result of tribal sentiment

However, I only urge the new generation from the east to desist from this game of hatred.....

Peace out

Look at the way Dangote was looking at Jonathan; pitying him. Perhaps he thought that Jonathan was about to cry with d look on Jonathan face....

honeychild:
Don't the militants speak for the niger delta? and quite a few regular folk even here on nairaland have threatened war if GEJ didn't win. Why? When he did nothing for them?

Don't mind them; being controlled by tribal sentiment just like their father- Orubebe

honeychild:
So why are they hell bent on losing their lives and destroying themselves because he didn't remain in power?

You mean the militants...

tunapole:
In addition to what op listed, pdp undersetimated the influence of yorubas in the scheming of nigerian politics, no yoruba man enjoyed juicy political appointments during Jonathan administration and finally, pdp did not get the backings of the retired military generals that help shaped this present nigeria

.

You are right bro.

If anybody from either SE/SW and SS wants to contest against a Northern candidate in a presidential election, the best thing to do is to form alliance with the rest of the Southern state, otherwise the northern candidate ll just form alliance with any one of the 3 southern regions and that ll be d end of that election; it was proven in 63 and 79 elections.

The same thing happened in 1963 and 1979 when Igbo formed an alliance with the Northern party to form a coalition government in which Tafawa Balewa became a prime minister and Nnamdi Azikiwe became President. The same pattern in 1979........ And now again with South west

He said Igbos are d backbone of his government

She is the last ugly thing we need in Nigeria right now

And let me quickly address that silly statement of "I CAN BRING MY WHOLE FAMILY TO US". Hahaha lol!!! If it's that easy and simple, all Nigerians wt US passport would have brought their entire village to US even the one that is your biological child was not allowed would go through hell before d system would allow him/her. in despite the fact that you have what it takes She does not understand how US immigration system works hence that load noise abt bring her fellows goats to US.

[color=#1980BC] No injustice done to ND in any quater?? Na wao, bros, you sabi lie.Maybe you should wade into the Delta and tell those boys this yarn.....Or Asari Dokubo..or Ken Saro wiwa's family for that matter [/color]

I just love the way you made your opinion known each time you disagree with my point without becoming Orubebe but if you were, i would have probably Jegaed you by now......

donem:
bro the bolded statement reali touched me as a niger-deltan, its so true. apast from enriching the likes of Emami's, Tompolo's,Dokubo's he has done nothing exceptional.

That is exactly my point. If you become a president of a nation, two things are involved, it's either you give your nation a uniform development as a president or you rebuild your home (Niger delta) and wait to bear the backlash from other nations within a Nigeria state but at least you have done well for your people.

He is coming back to his people just like d way he left them.....

There is no difference btw Jonathan and all the past northern president that didn't have any positive impact either economically or socially on their home state or on their entire region.

Jwonder:
Chai !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Mbaka told us but we didn't listen ooh!, instead we blindly followed the Useless, Clueless, Slowpoke called Jona.. Anybody that know him should tell him to return our name ooh!! Both d Ebele and Azikiwe, we dnt want to have anything to do with that Failure.



Sai Buhari!! (See wetin dis bayelsa mumu don make me say! )




All you saying is Trash, all i know is that i don't associate with failure!

I love this mutherfucker; he is hilarious

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] So how does that correllate to Nigeria freeing her 'economic shackles' from ND to be like China?? If you say we escaped Britain? And you have also said we should escape ND then ND should be the one who exploited Nigeria...not so?? See how we stood your logic on its own head.The ND should be the one to escape Nigeria from exploitation and with the perception of injustice already established by those in the creeks,we just hope Buhari presides this nation with wisdom hereafter. [/color]

You are right to an extent but there has never been any injustice done to Niger delta in any quarter; it's just their " we have been cheated by the Northerners mentality". What has Jonathan done for Niger deltans?

Obiwannn:
i get ur point bro...

I'm not a blind fanatic!
u didnt get my point though...I said the North heads all the major ministries nd parastatals in nigeria....
and I'm not a fan of GEJ. HE didnt try in his first tenure at all..
But that shoudnt make u prach VIOLENCE.

Bro, I ll never preach Violence. I only responded to guys who are claiming that the militants are ready for war and out of my hatred for war, I said that Nigeria state is ready for war

GeneralShepherd:
Isn't it ridiculous that the oil and gas companies are filled with south westerners and their graduates have no jobs!

Jonathan is a horrible president, but there is no equality in Nigeria

My friend, where did u get your statistics from? I mean the stat of Yorubas in oil and gas industry

It's like judging the Niger Deltans in Yoruba movies by the likes of Doris Simeon, Toyin Aimhaku, Mercy Aigbe, kheduba, Liz etc who are even doing well than full blooded Yorubas.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] First off China wasnt placed under economic dependency by Japan whatsoever,that's a lie, infact Japan conquered, exploited and economically depended on China for their raw materials and heavy population ironically this sounds familiar with the plight of ND...Anyway,China sacrificed a lot to be where they are right now.Can we do that?? Already Osun workers are crying and Buhari or ND militants haven't resumed yet. [/color]

Lol!!! Y bro!!! Read what you wrote up there and smack your bum bum. If Britain conquer Nigeria as a case study and begin to exploit our resources(raw materials) as a nation and controlled every part of our lives as people, pls what are we suppose to called that bro ? economic freedom I presumed. Lol!! C'mon bro,, that economic shackles right there.

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] Which kain rubbish lie is this?? [/color]

That is true picture of Nigeria my dear. There is nothing for me to gain in lying.

Igbos are naturally helpful to one another in foreign land but in their region, they may be a pain on one anothers' ass. Trust me, Heaven knows that Igbos are more guity of what that guy was accusing Hausa of and that is why when it comes to nepotism in federal employment where Igbo man is the head of that exercise, trust me, forget it...

If you doubt me, go to Federal ministry of education

Obiwannn:
BROS JUST SHUT UP..
U ARE FULL OF DECEIT.....

U CLAIM TO B A SOUTHERNER, YET U WISH UR PEOPLE BURN?
HOW MUCH WERE U PAID??
AND APART FROM MURTALA MOHAMMED, WHAT HAS (DID) THE NORTH DO WITH THE OVER 34 YEARS OF POWER THAT THEY'VE HAD TILL THIS TIME.....

LOOK AROUND U, THE RICHEST NIGERIANS ARE NORTHNERS, YET THEY ARE THE MOST IMPOVERISHED AND KWASHIOKOR LOOKING OF US ALL....

I'M NOT AGAINST A NORTHENER BEING PRESIDENT.....HECK THEY HEAD ALMOST ALL FEDERAL PARASTATALS, THEY'VE OPPERESSED AND WILL CONTINUE TO OPPERESS THE SOUTHERNERS...THEY BELIEVE POWER IS THEIR RIGHT! THEY'VE RIPPED OIL FROM THE SOUTH AND SHORT CHANGED THE REGION FOR SO LONG.....TAKE A LOOK AT ABUJA FOR EXAMPLE....DOES ANY SOUTHERN STATE COME CLOSE

Lies from pit of hell. That was what you are fed up with by southerners without any verification. Pls, come to Federal secretariat and Presidency in Abuja and tell me if Hausas/Fulanis are occupying more federal positions than Southerners.

Pls come to Accountant General office directly opposite old CBN and tell me if Hausas are occupying more positions than their brothers and sisters in the south.

I have worked in private and public sector and I can tell u that southerners are more socially and economically served than the Northerners.

Guess what! This is not a tribal war but fact; if you give an hausa man an opportunity to conduct a job interview for Hausa man as an applicant, Yoruba and Igbo on merit basis, trust me, the Hausa man ll go with that given directive.

Pls ask a Yoruba man to do the same thing but the applicant mistakenly find out that the interviewer is a Yoruba man and only for him to say E kàro Sir in Yoruba language so as to attract nepotism/ tribal favour (Meaning Goodmorning), I can bet my life on it that you have already failed that interview.

However, go in there with Igbo man with d Igbo man as an interviewer and the applicant says Igbo kwenu!!!!! Trust me bro, that applicant has got that job oooo just like that. I am not beefing Igbos but stating the obvious in federal ministries and parastatals in Abuja

This is true picture of Nigeria but that does not necessarily mean that my view represent the view of every Nigerians.

NB, I didn't pray for war in the South cos that is my home but I naturally hate d fact that some people believe that the best way to resolve issues is to go into war. And the funny thing about these set of people who r clamouring for war is that they are keeping their families and investment abroad while asking u and I to do their dirty fight for them.

Pls take a look at that big for nothing dimwit called Dokuboh; this is a guy that claimed to be fighting for d emancipation of his people but went to use their collective wealth to build his small empire in Benin; saving and preparing for the day of war so as to prevent his properties from being destroyed. Be smart bro

SuperSuave:
Lol

This is d most funniest picture I have ever seen in my life

You killed d whole jokes on Nairaland wt dis

Obiwannn:
bros i laff at u in 3D o..
if war start, u go fit stand
and come to think of it, what good does the North do to this country?....

QUOTE ME!!

What good have southerners(Obasanjo and Jonathan adminstations combined are worse than d 34 years of Northerners) done too? At least I m a southerners but I am not a subscribers to all this tribal rubbish.

Jonathan is the worst Nigeria president ever, period.

I grew up in Abuja, Akure and of course 512 road Festac, Lagos and I know how Abuja, Lagos and Akure were back in the days compare to today; I mean in terms of social infrastructure and other basic amenities and standard of living across the country.

However, Jonathan is a chameleon that can never be trusted.The only good thing that come out of his administration are all the past thieves

Obansanjo is better though in terms of bringing EFCC to an existence, his economic reform and debt pay off and cancellation, foreign reserve etc

davidstones:
This statement is where you shot your self in the foot. Inferring to the population of Kano is simply being childish. Do you genuinely know the population of Kano? Or you are telling us simply imaginary figures. Go and listen to the chairman of the population census that was conducted last. And two wealth is not about your population. Bill gate is not the oldest, the most educated man in the whole world but the richest. Think again if you really love Nigeria. If Jonathan did not win, I pray we still remain as a country in the next 2 years. That will be difficult. Go and bring all the US Marines and UK special forces to Nigeria. They will never win the battle in the creeks. Lets us be careful.

I lol @ "THEY LL NEVER WIN THE BATTLE IN THE CREEKS". My friend, let us pray against proper and full war. If u see a proper civil war, that is when you ll see people who called themselves militants running away from battle like a child. Do u know how many creeks between the walls of Nazi Germans to Stalingrade?

Do you know how many creeks between Ashan, Yingkou, Kuanchengtzu and Tokyo? Only God knows but it took Japanese couple of days to occupy these towns. War!!! War!!! War.....

All the ones u witnessed in the past were mere riots ooooo my friend. Where do you want to hide in the Creeks with bomb killing every living thing.....

aterigirl:
wishing u n ur generation the wish u have for the Niger Delta. the oil u have been living on all ur life, like we deserve to be oppressed!

Shut up and stop being a tribal bigot. Jonathan was voted in 2011 and d whole country fought the cabal on his behalf but only for u Ingrates to called d same Nigerians all sort of names simply your son has performed woefully.

If it's war u want, go for it darling. I didn't called for war on Niger delta; you guys are d ones threatening us wt one and be prepared to get it in full scale

Texcoco:
[color=#1980BC] See this one...Ogbenni do you know what is an economic blockade?? Go and read your history and find what almost happen to England in the WW2.Simply put, the war will be fought in your pocket as the very resource that supports it is made not only inconducive to tap but unnecessarily risky and not worth the danger for the oil companies by guerrilla bands roamin the creeks....our output will plummet,the reserves will finish for supporting the naira for too long. Think of the domino effect around the country...That is the Change we are talking about. [/color]

Pls my friend, I want you to read the story of China and how they liberate themselves from the economic shackles that was placed on them by Japan.

Let's be practical and realistic here, as an individual, the best way to remain unhappy as a man/woman in your relationship or any sort of relationship is to believe that your existence lies on your partner/friend.

The greatest a nation or individual could make is to believe that his/her existence can only survive on a particular thing from his/her most trusted friend or family cos one day, just one day, u ll be screwed up. This is applicable to Nigeria story, Nigeria ll pay dearly for it but trust me, at the end of d day, it won't last forever and it ll only set our foots on the new path of economic growth and discover....

If Lagos state can do it under Tinubu government, trust me, we as a nation would definitely do better.

Most developed countries are doing pretty well without oil and Nigeria case won't be exceptional. We ll surely get there and set ourselves free from this tribal rubbish coming from a tribe that is not even up to d population of Kano.

Bro, pls let them go to war, I ll be praying for them to go to war cos these guys think all this pampering attitude of past administration was a result of their stubbornness.

I want them to experience full war not this Creek to Creek hide and seek. I want bomb to be thrown on their creeks so as to learn that the hide and seek riot(not war) they engaged in with Nigeria army in the past was nothing but a child play to what is coming to them.

Go around the world and tell me any rebels that have been able to liberate their people.... Go and look at south Sudan today; they are better off when they r with their Northern part of the country...

Take a look at Niger delta today, is it better off than she was in 70s, 80s and of course 90s? No. The microscopic few that have destroyed their allocated commonwealth are d one holding them to ransom. They are the ones fighting to retain power so as to accumulate more wealth.

Go and see all their graduates in South west looking for jobs while their touts are becoming wealthy

[color=#1980BC] Orubebe's outbursts has cast a dark shadow on this whole process and the boys in the creeks will have taken note......this percieved injustice is all they need to catastrophically destroy our mono oil based economy...Hmmph.. [/color]

We Nigerians are begging them to destroy it. They have used that cursed natural endowment to hold us to ransom for too long and we other Nigerians are ready for them like Boko haram menace.

The battle ll be fought on their soil and the little money they stole in this useless and worthless existing administration won't be enough for them to buy weapons. Who is enjoying the destruction in the North today? The Northerners I presumed.

The world is shifting gradually from oil dependence.....

Let them bring it on and let see who ll suffer. Do you think it's only Ijaw that made up Niger delta of today? Capital NO my friend.

The same Ijaw that couldn't fight Itsekiris ll be making attempt to hold us to ransom, God forbid.

Henceforth, d dream of any Ijaw man to attain a national post has been dashed by the attitude of their today's fathers. It's quite sad and heart-trending that their children of tomorrow that would be bear the brunt of their fathers' sins. The result of what we are witnessing today in Nigeria was as a result of our progenitors attitude in 60s and 70s
