some guys are still yet to recover from the loss at the polls na wa o, Mr uranta or whatever your name is, wake up to reality, GEJ is gone and you cannot force your own agenda on GMB simple

abdulwastecx:
Igbos bring up southern Nigeria togetherness when it benefitted them...where were you guys when your clueless son was ruling Nigeria and dividing all her assets between you greedy people.

how may road or infrastructure did executed in south west?

Greedy and selfish people always hang on southern or northern unity to loot and steel Nigeria dry.
Politicians has been using northern agenda in the past to loot and the larger percentage of northern people still live in abject poverty.
Buhari is different, buhari is exemplary, buhari cares about poor Nigeria in respective of tribe or religion.

The day general Mohammed Buhari won the presidential election was the happiest day of my life.

my brother you nailed it well, it is when our southern politicians esp the guys from the ss and se want to buy their way out, that they turn around to accuse the north of born to rule mentality, their trick didn't work this time as some Nigerians are getting wiser by the day

Setaje:
This is exactly what my dad said. Exactly why my dad kicked against yorubas siding wiv hausas. This hausas are too smart. Wiv Buharis win, they have taken us back hundred years. I just hope yoruba leaders can at least do something for the south west and it's people. If not this hausas don't mind holding power for life. This has always been their tactics. I trust yoruba people who are always vocal. It won't be long before they start insulting Buhari especially when he is not performing as expected and before u no it they will turn to opposition. This time the hausas will just go and meet south east or south south and those ones will gladly follow. Who doesn't want national cake. This has always been hausa tactics. Divide and rule!

The moment yoruba igbo and south south stand together wiv one voice, is the beginning of progress in Nigeria. The hausas no that. This is why I dislike jonathan. He would have formed a formidable united southern Nigeria. But he relegated one part to the ground. Now we are back to square 1. With the way hausas voted. It simply means nobody can attain anything in this country wivout the help of hausas and they will continue to be the owners of Nigeria. It's a shame. People who are 20 years backwards from the south and people who so believe it's their birthright to rule Nigeria. I just laugh when people say if Buhari doesn't perform u will vote him out. Lmao. Let me see how u will vote a man out that comes from the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. In case u don't no. The hausas speak wiv one voice. Anything that concerns the north will bring a northerner apc and pdp together. Something we cannot see a southerner do. We are in big trouble o. I do not trust the north one bit and I have no apologies.

with all this ranting now who do you blame? some of you guys come here and spew rubbish about the north but should I say that we southerners are worse than the north? just check out the voting pattern in the north, they voted for Buhari massively despite the fact the core elite leaders in the north never wanted buhari cos of his very strong willed personality, they identified with someone they felt could lead Nigeria well irrespective of religion or tribe, just check places like kaduna where you have a strong presence of christians in the southern part, plateau state gave enough votes for buhari, same with benue, kogi, Niger and the north eastern states where the muslims do not supercede the christians in number in reality.

come down to the south where in the east and ss where people voted on the basis of religion and hatred for a party, they were so gullible to be misled by their leaders that they overlooked the good things leaders like okorocha and ngige did for them. Even in the west a lot of guys compromised cos of Jona's dollars and sold their conscience.

You can say all you want about the north but we in the south are ungrateful lots and corruption personified as exemplified by Jonathan himself who was ungrateful to the west for his 2011 victory but decided to bribe his way for re-election.

fashola for FCT minister will be limiting, I need fashola on a more National scale pls

Seriously I want fayose to remain as Governor cos I want to see how his big mouth will be running under a Buhari administration, something tells me the guy will be so quiet that we will forget that Ekiti has a Governor.

He is truly a coward simple. I plead with the APC lawmakers to let him be cos of Ekiti people.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Nigerians voted for Mr Integrity and by extension a change in how Government conducts its businesses.

We are here to remind GMB to beware of the hulks around him knowing Tinubu's antecedents in Lagos State and beyond.

Lagos state is the most managed state in Nigeria now hence the explosive population and some folks trying to claim its ownership, if Lagos has been managed like the other states in Nigeria, perhaps we may have been competing with somalia now.

Thanks to Tinubu a man of vision who saw where Nigeria should be headed, you guys can keep on ranting all you like, for GMB to partner with tinubu, then it means you guys have update your mental faculties and find a vision for your life. Perhaps all the lectures you have been giving on this forum should be for your personal consumption.

Nigeria is moving ahead and if you guys want to remain backward, its left to you, Tinubu is not your problem but yourself

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Ethics & Procurement Integrity forbids Federal Employee and by Extension Party Officials Involved In Government and The Procurement And Acquisition Process from benefiting hence Tinubu being a leader of the government in power is disqualified.

This is to summarize the thread objective

story for the gods, so where were all these ethics when pdp were sharing our assets for their party members?

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
What's wrong with Asari Dokubo and Government Tompolo buying these assets?

Would you have congratulated them if Goodluck Jonathan had sold those assets to them in a competitive bidding auction or privatization?

I said earlier in this thread that service delivery is key irrespective of whoever, if asari or tompolo can deliver service let them buy up the assets after all, the vessels NIMASA uses for their enforcement on sea and other security purposes are owned by tompolo on a public-private partnership which is working very well [I am involved in the maritime industry to know this], heavens have not fallen and the contract is still on.

Anyone who will tun around those FG assets for maximum productivity is welcome, Let's stop blacklisting ourselves as Ngerians, Dstv is there mesmerizing us about and we can't do anything but we only know how to blacklist ourselves.

Let's exploit our strengths as a nation instead of focusing on our weaknesses, this is where the developed nations are ahead of us

superstar1:
Is Jonathan's brain a Pentium 1 brain that he cannot multitask, despite the myriads of challenges that was brought upon him by people and himself?

Jonathan said the pillar of his government were SEerners and not SSerners. What were those SE people doing in 6years. Busy being sycophants they are known for and singing siddon siddon siddon and No Vacancy for GEJ.

PDP had the highest Senators and Reps, why was the Ibaka issue not legislated on, passed into law and gazetted. Once that is done, no government can reverse it. Don't you understand.

Your argument about Akwa Ibom not having the legal right to develop the seaport does not hold water. Lagos conceptualised Lekki Deep Seaport and started it with FG and private investors joining in. First thing first, it was a visionary idea conceptualised by Fashola and they got the buy in of FG and private investors later.

That is a governor that was in the opposition party.

What stopped Akpabio for good 8years from.achieving same? At what time did the leaders of Akwa Ibom paid Akpabio or GEJ a visit, tasking them on the completion of the Ibaka project. None to my best of knowledge.

It amazes me that the government that does not have the time for Ibaka, invested in Lekki Seaport, was eating with 1bn, was buying presidential jets, was doling out dollars to.people.

Let your leaders take responsibility for their inactions and actions. Point accusing fingers at them and not Yorubas.

that is why am waiting to see how the ss and se will play opposition politics which I doubt cos their style of opposition politics here is to whine and cry about the sw and the north depriving them of their daily bread, with the way they are crying now, I see a mass defection to apc in the ss and se in the next three months just watch and see, no be for this naija

PPAngel:
Now Sai Buhari and chant change

Zombie

sorry for your defeat at the polls, eh take heart lol, even una oga has moved on and you're still lamenting

once again I sympathize with you

PPAngel:
Do you people think at all?


There are more legitimate business men who can easily finance and maintain these assests if they are put through a transparent bidding process.

The issues here is that the new incoming goverment will sell this properties as part of their compensation to party stalwarts and the price on this properties will be watered down. Also, expect the funding to come from western banks thereby tying us down to a system based on the dollar that requires our patronage to have any value in the first place.

On paper there is no reason why these properties are should remain rotting away but what is morally wrong is ho they will end up in the hands of APC stalwart Bola Tinubu through an impartial bidding process.

Try and get sense for once.

it is you that should get sense, name the legitimate business men in Nigeria, draw up your list and let me see, some of you guys think we will be carried away with your bunkum analysis, am not saying that tinubu should be the one to buy it, but the guy i quoted earlier asked that what is wrong if tinubu buys it, is it not a competition and bidding issue? like i said if jonathan wants to buy the properties too, there is nothing wrong, its all about who can deliver service, where were you guys when pdp was selling off our national assets to their cronies who can't deliver service, e.g. the privatization of power, do you have power now? you guys don't complain about that but when you hear the name tinubu, you all rush in here with all your bigotry and useless analysis.

My friend anybody who can deliver the service should buy up the damn thing, Government has failed to maintain our assets, even if asari or tompolo is ready to deliver good service, let them buy it chikena.

mrmetoo1:
I'm sorry but what's wrong with him buying?? I'm glad you said buying and not giving Tinubu for free. If Tinubu buys it and develops it or turns these assets around, please what's wrong with that?? I'll rather a Tinubu buy it than it just wasting away. If other private investors are interested, let them show their interest and plans. Whoever has the best plans should have the opportunity to buy it. Now if other investors are denied even though they have a better plan, then this should be revealed to the world. Buhari has said he won't show favoritism even to his own children so at the point of such a revelation we'll hold him to his word.

Just simply saying Tinubu wants to buy these assets to turn them around and making it seem like that's a bad thing doesn't really make sense.

I wish other politicians would at least use their money to develop the country rather than buying streets in the US or buying out stores in Dubai while the rest of the loot is just sitting pretty in foreign accounts.

my guy you make sense die, exactly my thoughts, the issue here is service delivery chikena, nothing stops oga jona from buying as well and deliver good service, we Nigerians can just be silly at times, we excel well in jealousy and hatred

These are the leaders misleading the igbos and preaching the hate politics which is reflected in the voting pattern, tommorrow they will go to abuja and beg for positions while the guys in the east they have misled continues to suffer.

Its time for Nigerians to start getting wiser

Good development, no more going back to the creek things!

Honestly if am appointed into buhari's cabinet, I go rethink am o, sho, which kind isho be this one o.

Just shows its not business as usual again in Nigeria, the General is aware of the expectations of Nigeria

Charly68:
Since they are ready to play opposition it is better they start preparing for that now,they have no moral basis to agitate for anything..if nit People like Dr Ngige & Governor Okorocha who saw the wind of change ahead will people like these have effrontery to ask for FCT Ministerial slot ? May be they should go to Lagos and ask for the stool of Oba Akiolu .

opposition by who if may ask? from the ss or se, I laugh in igbo, is it by claiming that you own abuja or lagos is how they play opposition, my friend just wait and see the mass exodus from pdp to apc in the se very soon. na mouth they get

jumobi1:
I don't disagree with your assessment. Overall Igbos see it as a Northern and SW party. But the main members are indeed Northerners and SW'ers. This is perhaps the fault of Igbo leaders for sticking with PDP and APGA for being to linked to PDP to jump ship.
At the end Rochas won, so what does that say? More than half of Igbos or at least Imolites see beyond tribal affiliation.

Btw most of my closest friends are Yoruba so I don't get the "your hate towards the west and North is too much" part.
I'm sure you love the North, South, East and West too

Pdp is largely dominated by the northerners too, its because they have been in the centre for long, that is why you have lots of igbos too. just wait and see how the dynamics will change after may 29, they are just still whining about jona defeat, in few months time, large number of igbo politicians will be in the apc along with their ss counterparts. They don't have an history of opposition politics and they are not ready for it now if not they won't be asking for an FCT ministerial slot so soon, they know what it means to them if they don't have mouth in Abuja.

Like jk, they are just kidding, its only westerners and few northerners that can play opposition politics in Nigeria cos they can take risks but my guys across the Niger, all na shakara, no action

jumobi1:
Lol. I'm from Imo. Born and raised in Lagos for 9 years. Family lives in Abuja. I don't live in Nigeria but I'm very Nigerian. Don't waste your energy on facts you know are not true. I've been in Abuja a few times and Igbos aren't the majority of Abuja. We are all 1 so we shouldn't be trying to handle each other.

thanks man, after failing in lagos, they think they can cook up stories for abuja again, I go to abuja regularly and I know what they are saying are all lies, meanwhile dangote is in lagos meeting with ambode and tinubu while my guys de ask buhari for FCT ministerial slot, what a pity.

Activa:
You be yeye man

Thanks for d correction guy

If it is 80% of kano population then it must be 75% of kaduna investment too

70% of Benin investment
78% of Ibadan population
79% of warri investment
80% of Calabar population
85% of uyo investment
87% of Accra investment

like mtn everwhere you go but seriously I never hear my guys talk about the percentage of investments they have in south africa, anyway make una advise them make dem no make noise there o, hmmmm

jumobi1:
Would Yorubas have voted for Buhari if he didn't have a Yoruba VP, and a party' that it's foundation is primarily CPC and ACN (a Party that only had strength in the SW)?

Nigerians N S E W are tribalists. If APC had an Igbo as President or VP, don't you think SE would have Sai'ed Buhari?

is okrochas an hausa man? have they finished voting for him? forget it man, even the guys ngige gave scolarship refused to vote for him so what's your point.

Demdem:
“It is on record that Igbos are key players in terms ownership of property, merchandise and hospitality outfits in the territory, and can lay a claim to over 70 per cent investment in the FCT.

Seriously, these guys are clowns

u de laugh, opposition politics things by laying claim everywhere like mtn, everywhere you go lol

jumobi1:
I think Nigerians just like issues. Since when does the opinion of a few citizens represent a whole Tribe/Region. So if I go to BBC and say a Nigerian must be made the British Deputy Prime Minister, does that mean that is what majority of even any other Nigerian wants?

This post is just to add fuel to the fiery tension between Nigerians. In fact our discussions are pointless and unfounded.

At the end, if Buhari is just and sincere about his stance on corruption, appointments wouldn't matter because the appointed would work solely in the interest of Nigeria as a whole

my guy forget Britain, this is our own guys here play opposition politics by telling us they are in the majority when they can't show it in terms of votes, we know their style, just leave us alone, we would handle them, thanks for your concern, one love

while some guys are still brewing over Jona defeat, this man has moved on!

Anybody who is thinking there will be an opposition party to apc with all these silly demands is only dreaming cos the opposition politics I am seeing here is to ask for FCT ministerial post to secure investments.

Like I said ealier somewhere all the ss and se politicians are just kidding, watch how they will all defect to apc soon, those guys can't just survive without the centre, FACT.

By the time they get over the pain of Jona defeat, story go change, I only pity their gullible supporters especially on this thread

DonaldGenes:
I won't blame GMB if he doesn't appoint Igbos as important ministers. I mean, see the Finance, Petroleum and former Aviation minsters

even if he plans to do, he may be changing his mind now with all these silly demands

Augustbreak:
I wonder how many percentage of them are remaining in the east.

then those figures from the east in the elections should be probed abi no be so?

babaolofin:
The group is right by saying over 70% of the investment belongs to the Igbos. The DOME, grand Square, Bollingo etc belong to them. During Jonathan under an economy supervised by Madam Okonjo, Diezani, Anyim, Ernest Nwapa at the local content deal,the power deal with them at the BPE, NERC and ministerial level, the investment becomes greater. The centenary city deal and various investment in the capital city belongs to them even right from military era.

The only wrong information given is the segmentation of the populace into political and economic. The igbos are the majority in population. To say the indigenes are 65% of the population is mis-leading and an attempt to run away from the future of FCT and Nasarawa state. The igbos control the population for now. The Gwaris (Abuja native indigene) are now few in number.

The best is to make Eze Ndigbo the official traditional ruler of FCT in addition to the ministerial seat. Population determines who wins an election in an area. when you have population and investment, then you have everything. Eko o ni baje o

don't worry, the real owners of the land will be back to answer you guys very soon, the igbos are the ones always making the noise and contesting statistics, empty barrels make the loudest noise, if you are a majority in an area, you dont need to come and make noise, the whole world will know and not contest anything with you.

Have you ever heard the igalas in kogi state coming out to make noise that they are the largest in population in that state. The whole world knows and don't contest it with them at all, they always show it in the political space there.

like I said earlier, the true owners of FCT will come out and show you guys where you belong, just wait lol

I thought some folks said they were ready to play opposition politics, Now I understand what they mean by their own style of opposition politics which is by asking for ministerial slots in FCT to protect their investments [imagine]


walahi, in three months time, there will be no pdp states again o cos I don't know how one can be a minister of fct from an opposition party abi my people make una educate me small

kennygee:


After Voting PDP?

Aren't they asking for too much?

I tire o, reaping from where they did not sow, the igbos would have made their job easier by following the voting pattern in the sw by sharing votes both for pdp and apc, but with all those figures in the se, a big NO

anyway to make amends just leave IMO for Rochas! can;t eat your cake and have it nah!

abeg na joke o!

people are so funny o, it was so clear two years ago that oga jona will loose election, we kept telling some folks but some Nigerians find it so hard to believe that an incumbent President will loose an election simply because he has all Govt institutions in the palms of his hand including the military, this is actually why some folks are finding it difficult to accept the Presidential election results.

They thought the commando style used in rivers state will happen everywhere and I ask someone that how many police officers and military officers do we have to achieve that, Nigeria is just too large for that.

I sympathize with all looser cos there is always a first time after all ajimobi broke the jinx of a second term in Oyo which has never happened before not with the great bola ige sef.

ogene007:
So the presidential elections was not daylight robbery against GEJ, ochestrated by Jega and the northern political establishment? Arrant nonsense from a party adept at lies and propaganda. If the results from over ten northern states where subjected to judicial scrutiny, the entire elections in that region would be cancelled, yet GEJ decided in the interest of saving lives and property of nigerians, to accept defeat. Amaechi should bury his head in shame because no elections in the south south will be cancelled by anybody, else the entire general elections that threw up GMB would also be cancelled. He should go to Abuja and lick his wounds in silence because any attempt to foment further trouble would be met with disastrous consequences for both him and his party.A word is enough for the wise.

it doesn't justify what happened in rivers and if the whole Presidential election were to be cancelled and done all over again, are you sure oga Jonah will win? Please judge, what some of us are saying is that pdp never had to do a commando style to win in a state like rivers that they have been winning since 1999, it doesn't make sense at all.

we only showed to the world how backward we still are as a Nation and that's the point
