Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Please avoid the easy option.

I'll leave you with a quote from JFK;

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win ..."

RevDesmondJuju:
yOu this Nigerian can't you get it into your thick skull that the Niger-Delta Republic has nothing to do with you but is in the interest of ensuring our own children don't remain third tier citizens in a failed corrupt fraudulent entity?

We of this generation are bound to reverse whatever injustice metted our past generations.

We DON'T WANT AGAIN!

Nah by force?


Alright Goodluck and more grease to your elbows

Curlieweed:
I'm not wishing him "failure". It's just a statement of my realistic assessment of his abilities. I didn't support him before and I can't see any reason to change my mind now.

Curlieweed:
This is one disingenuous argument from "one Nigeria" proponents that I find perplexing. Why is it that once one talks about creating proper nations from this prison camp, people start talking about hate and what not. Do you still live with your parents? If you have left home, is it because you hate them?

Like I asked the other fellow that has "cool" pals from across Nigeria, how about Nigerians that have friends, benefactors and even relatives from around the world? Can we just abolish individual nations and have a single world government, because we love all humans?

Curlieweed:
Abeg! Get real, bro!

Are the "politicians" from another planet? Wise politicians only tell people what they want to hear. We hate each other and have wonderful pet names for each other to prove it.

Don't waste your prayers on Buhari's second coming. He failed woefully 30 years ago and this time it will be even worse

In as much as Buhari will like to concentrate on his own administration and fulfill his promises to Nigeria, I will like to see the Jonathan's administration scrutinized and those found to have stolen from us tried and sent to jail.

the level of corruption under Jonathan is alarming.

RevDesmondJuju:
tHat is not you or Nigeria's business.

We are not lazy parasites

Curlieweed:
Stop deceiving yourself, it's obvious from this board, that the different ethnic groups hate each other. Most of the guys here supporting your "one Nigeria" are even more guilty than most. Let's be real.

REMINDER:
Pls someone should help me ask this briggs where will the battle-ground be? It won't be in the West, North likely not in the east as well. The battle ground will be in the Niger Delta Soil itself. The Boko Haram war is being fought in the North-east as we talk. Millions of indigenous pple were homeless as we talk......Even if the Boko-haram were perpetrated by the northerners themselves....the question is who is bearing the weight of pains and loss now?, Biafra war was fought. Where was the battle-ground? It was on the soil of the biafrans.....Now you are calling for war...your children are living abroad....you have fleet of Jets around you to move out of the country in a split of second, leaving innocent and helpless people to suffer! Like someone said on this thread earlier....war is different from pipeline vandalism, kidnapp of foreigners, holding the country to ransom economically! War is brutal! Mr. Briggs....can you pay the price of WAR??

RevDesmondJuju:
What is this Nigerian ranting about?

Niger Delta Republic is here so brace up and wean yourselves from our oil.

zendy:
You can't have good Governance in Nigeria. That's like looking for water in the middle of the Sahara desert. Every president of Nigeria has failed same as Buhari will fail because the system of government we are running is bad. The unitary is a terrible thing. Only a dreamer will think that Buhari can police 36 state Governors who enjoy immunity and 774 Local Gov chairmen who are near untouchable. It's not even Buharis job to provide water and electricity. The only thing that can work in Nigeria is a regional form of government or a confederation.The six geopolitical zones should be the federating units. We don't need States or governors in Nigeria,what we need are the Local governments,they are closest to the common man and they are the ones that should be building roads and providing water in their host communities. we should have a ceremonial president who can be head of parliament and commander of the armed forces and a prime minister who is head of government ment. The regions should keep at least 50% of whatever accrues in that region and the other goes to the federal government. Each region will have its own premier and constitution. This is the only way to run Nigeria fairly and equitably. The regions should develop at their own pace instead if everyone waiting for Niger Delta oil money which will be stolen by politicians anyway. But the North will never agree to a regional government because of oil. Nigeria is a disaster and the sooner we disintegrate and go our different ways, the better for everyone

[size=15pt]All I see are faces of APC
members of Igbo extraction

Real Igbos are not interested in Buhari's administration.
Buhari can go to hell.
Igbos can prosper without FG.
Onitsha, Aba, Nnewi etc were not built by government money[/size]

EUROBOMBER:
Buhari should do all he can to carry along the Eastern bloc in his Government, this will go a long way to cool things down.

OneNaira6:
Why do you want to be in the same ccountry with ppl that don't want to be in the same country with you? That's one thing I don't get about you hausa and yoruba. Why do you guys keep insisting of this "one nigeria". Na by force to share a nation?
The country is not working, we all can see it's not working. We don't like eachother, we keep killing eachother and now ppl want out yet you ppl keep trying to force a one nation. Wtf?

Rose2014:
If the leaders before him including Buhari didn't transform Nigeria, yet they keep coming bad to lead again n again, why was Jonathan voted out under the 'corruption excuse'

Hypocrites

Rose2014:
And the leaders before him were not corrupt right?

ijustdey:
PDP trying to prove law....
during their own reign did they allow any opposition to aspire for lofty political relevance which they are now claiming now

jmaine:
Nigeria is bigger than Lagos, and you shouldn't dare try to compare unequal components like that . . . . . All eyes are fixated on the center and any move will court an amplified reaction from the populace.

There are certain things you can get away with at the state level but not in Abuja . . . . .

jmaine:
APC in their wisdom thought otherwise and they have rightly overridden Buhari blunder on these . . . . . dwelling on constitutional provision might give you victory in court, but other than the court, there are other factors in play.

He moved into the defense house by virtue of his current status as the president-elect which is a presidential status in it's own.

It's like saying our politicians are not corrupt since by constitutional provisions they are innocent since they haven't been found guilty by any court. Yes, they might enjoy that constitutional victory but it ends there. The electorates will use another yardstick to measure and gauge them and that goes a long way.

APC was wise in sensing serious dissent along the way and nipping it in the bud immediately, it's too early to start grappling with this garbage.

ilugunboy:
For disciplined business people in Nigeria today..things are tight enough already.....how much more for a rogue in the business of television that mainly derives it revenue from the patronage of those in power.

He will need to learn how to go and sort his issues out with those people coming to power ..through their mutual friends in the North and SW, if he fails to do that, his empire will crumble in his eyes.

Obiagelli:
Interesting. Ait has the power to insult anyone.

Kachisbarbie:
Lolz

This Buhari arrest/corruption threat is really making people uncomfortable

fitzmayowa:
I guess the APGA guy is confused, the same APGA that endorsed GEJ, so what does he want GMB to probe

Well I guess the APGA guy is stylishly telling Buhari to look his "side"...SMH
