Go and complete your task by leaking her bums. People like you are the ones giving some of these ladies without home training the impetus to act the way they do.
How can she even think of slapping the bike man? Because in her mind the man can't do anything to her right? At least now she knows that not every one riding a bike is an 'ordinary okada rider'

[quote author=deomelo post=77765259][/quote]Thank you for the informative pictures you posted. We have too many ignorant folks on NL, they think West just vote for empty politicians (looters) the way they do in their areas.

has Fayemi adhere to the chorus of the charlatan Ishaq Akintola? Ans is no, has buhari appointed only Yoruba Muslims to his cabinet? The answer is No, Schools are regulated by state governments if in the North they can wear hijab to school if the state government feels like, it can allow it, in a state where it's not allowed there are private Muslims secondary schools you can take your wards, besides the issue is in court, until the court rules on that, lets keep our peace, the people of Oyo who am sure are 55%Muslims just elected a Christian, in Yoruba land we don't care about your religion just perform that's all, and the Christians here are not in anyway feeling oppressed by our Muslims families, yes most yorubas have Christians and Muslims in same families that's why what you saying won't work here period. Ileya I go to their house to eat ram, Christmas they are here to eat chicken, am sure this Easter everyone will be together to felicitate,so don't divide us, we are good and we vote for anyone we choose to, that's democracy and its non of your business.

My dear, our friends from the east are too primitive to understand these facts you stated. There is no need trying to let them see one of the many great attributes the West has, that they don't have. Na envy dey worry them.

omohayek:
More of this “SW”, “SE”, “north” nonsense, as if having a “kinsman” in Aso Rock is what will make a difference in ordinary people’s lives, instead of the beliefs, character and intelligence of the person in charge. How has 4 years of Buhari done anything to better the lives of poor northerners, that the “SW” or any other region should be scrambling desperately for “their turn”?

I can see why elite politicians like this buffoon should pretend that such facile tribalism is all that matters, as he and his ilk stand to benefit directly in the form of “juicy” appointments, inflated contracts and other opportunities to steal from the public purse, but what I don’t get is why the masses should be so willing to play along, other than out of sheer stupidity and an inability to learn from even the most bitter experience.

We need people like you for this country to progress. Thanks and God bless you for these words.

Chimaokigwe:
We Igbos just love killing our stars. That's how they killed a US doctor who came to his home town for medical outreach.

The most dangerous place for any Igbo man is the SE. If you're coming home, get at least 4 Mopol or soldiers to guard you.

Your family members and kinsmen telling you to come home would collect things from you and arrange kidnappers and robbers to collect the remaining.

True talk

ChristianNorth:
You started with insult. This means I have already boxed you into a defensive mode.

Anyway, next time, try to break down your write-ups with paragraphs especially lengthy ones like this.


It seems Osu is a line you guys have learn to be throwing around carelessly.

I don't owe you any explanation, but to save you from further stupidity, I am from a paramount royal house in Abia.


I am sure you were drunk when you wrote this, so I will skip it.


It is common knowledge the yorubas have penchant for claiming credit for what didn't work for.

The NASS made Jonathan acting President. It was your brother Tinubu and his AC goons that opposed Jonathan. They claimed it is illegal and unconstitutional for Jonathan to be made acting president.

Bala moved the motion, Ken Nnamdi saw that it scaled through while Saraki rallied the 36 Governors to endorse Jonathan. Only SW betrayed.

It seems I have to create a thread on that.


Liar. SW gave only 60% to Jonathan and if you deducts all SW's votes to Jonathan. He would have still won.

The SS, SE and MB bore the burden of that 2011 election. Of course, MB got Senate presidency, while SE got the DSP, Coordinating Minister, SGF, Deputy Speaker.


SW votes didn't make Jonathan president in 2011 and SW votes didn't make him president in 2019. You guys contributed 7.5% of his victory margin.


It is on record SW are clannish. You guys hated a pan-national Obasanjo in 1999 and prefer a yoruba apologist, Falae.

You vote for individuals yet you gave Buhari about 2 million votes.


It is on record that SE plays better politics than SW but you guys behaves as if Nigeria started in 2015.

Compare SE and SW political history since pre-independence.

My dear this forum is an open one where decent opinions are aired, so why do you want to cry?

At least I have not attacked you, so stop talking about being defensive. I only stated facts, backed with political history, figures and dates.
Sadly, your assertions are full of lies and distortions and you are obviously incapable of answering the questions I asked you aside your traditional use of foul language and quarrel.

As an instance please can you back your claim that Tinubu (your nightmare, Lol) and AC stood against the installation of Jonathan, with a credible link online?

Aside from the ‘CABALS’ whom Jonathan himself acknowledges and even referred to during the January 2012 fuel subsidy crisis, etc., all sane Nigerians stood up for Jonathan (inclusive of AC & Tinubu). This actually was almost like what we had during the June 12, 1993 saga (you may be too young to know that).

The National Assembly you were alluding to was even infiltrated by these cabal elements; they were only spurred to action by the massive reactions of Nigerians. Please go online and check the dates and sequence of events around that time between March and May 2010.
Perhaps where you live in Abia (with all due respect my Paramount chief, lol), was far too remote & politically disconnected to witness all the events at that time.

You came to confuse yourself further by mixing up 2015 and 2019 as per the dates Jonathan contested for Presidency. Chai, this ChristianNorth is a political illiterate!

It is obvious your knowledge of politics started in 2015 as you have stylishly been telling us all along. No wonder you claimed you were drunk when you were asked to give us names of your activists. You were also struck dumb when events of pre-independence Nigeria were analyzed for you.

To the glory of God, as an active stakeholder in Nigeria politics, a card carrying member of a major political party, a voting citizen with a track record of participation since 1992, a casual observer like yourself cannot deceive me with your lies as far as politics and governance is concerned.

By the way I need to ask you how far about your ‘Biafla or Death’ mantra? One of those inconsistencies in Eastern Nigeria, that devalues their political worth.

It is also sad you are only digressing and have been unable to answer the questions in my two earlier sent posts. This has evident the fact that you are indeed, too emotional and naive to engage in political discuss. Further efforts in trying to educate you shall obviously be a waste.

Thankfully, you are Christian, so I shall leave you with a line from the scriptures.

“Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself” – Proverbs 26v4 ESV. Na Bible talk am o

ChristianNorth:
Rant of a yoruba moslem. Keep revising history to suit you. You even claimed the yorubas were the first to fight for Jonathan acting presidency.

You guys are shameless liars. The first person to move the motion or raise that issue was Sen. Bala Mohammed current Governor-elect of Bauchi before Dora Akunyili joined, then the SE.

SW started making noise and hijack the struggle when it is became glaring that GEJ's acting presidency is happening. Tinubu personally organised his AC goons to kick against that. He launched a massive campaign to ensure it didn't happen.

But Ken Nnamani the SP proceeded with the motion and NASS made Jonathan acting president.

https://allafrica.com/stories/201002100194.html

Before then, it was Saraki the Maradona that rallied all the 36 Governors to pressure the NASS to act on the motion of Bala.

SE/SS doesn't have the strength to do it alone, SW was antagonistic, Saraki rallied the North together with Bala.

You guys started making noise when all underground had been done.

In appreciation, GEJ pulled Bala from the Senate and made him FCT minister and today he is Governor elect, he dissolved his cabinet and retained Dora, moved Saraki's boy to a bigger ministry.

You guys fought Jonathan. Get that into your thick skull and stop revising history.

You keep confirming your cluelessness with your revisionist and dumb responses. I shall come back to the Senator Bala Usman, blablabla you stated above. Your response shows how much biased you are against the Yoruba.
It is already obvious you don’t know what you are talking about, your first point of failure is in your assumption that you are talking to a Moslem.
Of course you guess right by calling me a Yoruba, if you need to know more I have Igbo lineage as well. Perhaps you came from an osu background where you are not privileged to have inter-ethnic marriage (no offense intended).
I stand for the truth because times have proven that an ‘Ogunbiyi’ may fail you where an ‘Okafor’ comes in to be a blessing and at times an ‘Uzor’ may fail you where a ‘Showunmi’ turns out to be your angel. So evil is not confined to a single place. See the response of satan to God in Job 2v2.
We are in the 21st century so you ought to have outgrown primitive leanings you so far displayed in your responses. I speak to you from a position of knowledge that Igbo has always been too cowardly in the affairs of Nigeria politics. Sadly it has always been the womenfolk from the East that has in their own little way displayed an ounce of bravery. Look at the Aba riots of 1928, then the respected late Dora Akunyili you mentioned. Other regions boast of activists who stood up to confront injustice, we can make mention of JS Tarka from the Middle Belt, Adaka Boro from Niger Delta, Aminu Kano from the North, the west gave us Gani Fawehinmi Femi Falana, the Ransome-Kuti family, the Wole Shoyinka (that was even jailed and in solitary confinement for three years because of your Biafra), where is our ‘brave eastern blodas’?
I however need to educate you by saying that Akunyili and Bala only swung into action when they saw Bakare launched the Save Nigeria initiative. Where people of the West staged massive protests, where were the yeasterners then?
Jonathan that benefited from Yoruba support from 2007 up till the elections of 2011 took Yoruba’s humility and peaceful nature for granted. He later realized this error later in 2014 and early 2015. Hence he was forced to literally relocate to Lagos during the campaign time leading to election, even having to buy time and lavish money on OPC and Afenifere (which was an error in itself). Yoruba don’t vote parties, organizations or groups, but they vote good governance and individuals that stand for this.
It was the same votes from the Yoruba that he enjoyed in 2011 and came to power. A power he abused by squandering (with the aid of his cronies) the massive revenue the nation enjoyed from the favorable oil market that prevailed while he was in power. He realized his mistakes and came to apologize prior to the election, but it was too late then. Yoruba supported Bubu with their votes and he won.
Go and enjoy the fake projects you claim the man has completed in your region. You guys don’t have a clue how administration runs. Other regions are by far, more politically mature than your region, we no dey do politics of ‘na my bloda (imm)’ as una dey do for ya side. West don’t care who rules as long as they deliver, after all, the America, China etc that the world respect today and Nigerians so much love to visit and stay, are not ruled by neither an Igbo nor a Yoruba.
Wisdom cannot be monopolized by any single human but the quality of leadership & followership count in determining how a community or society progresses. An average Igbo leans towards his buying and selling (which is good though), but relegates political consciousness to the background.
Learn from the saying that goes like this – ‘if the wise refuses to rule, he shall suffer the misrule of the foolish’. This is what the Igbo brethren suffer from. Take time out to get first-hand information. Find time to visit the folks you voted to represent you, go to local government offices and ask questions, show more than a 4-yearly interest in politics and let your representatives know you exist. (I saw you boasted of 2023 earlier, so I can see you are only keen on a 4-yearly basis.)
This is what you guys are not doing and this is why your region is being robbed by your own politicians.
I am at work (making money) so let me pause, be free to respond to the little I have said so far, I shall check Nairaland later on.
Meanwhile check out this Okadigbo meme.

ChristianNorth:
The problem with you guys is that you people find it difficult to see beyond 2015.

Just because you successfully built your first political alliance in 2015 since pre-independence, is not enough reason to start insulting others.

Tell me what you guys have achieved politically until 2015. We know how Obasanjo became President in 1999, you are politically sophisticated why didn't you guys elect Falae.

In 2003 when the North ganged up against OBJ, it was the SE/SS you are insulting today that returned him as president. He had to kneel at PH to be able to get that.

You are sophisticated, why didn't you guys save him from that embarrassment.

2023 we shall relegate you guys to where you have always belong politically. No be to the hide behind Buhari's good will to be shouting sophisticated.

We shall put your sophistication to test in 2023.

You must pay for all your treachery against the SOUTH. There is no hiding place.

Because of una stupidity and greed the north is now arrogantly laying claim to 2023, just because you couldn't stand another brother doing an 8 years you guys have already done.

You treacherously took away their 4 years just because of a stupid VP.

A coward that couldn't speak up for christians when they are being massacred by the fulani ediots.

For every wickedness you sow, you shall reap ten-fold.

I didn’t want to dignify your rantings with a response. But let me for the sake of humanity, pity you by letting you know that your assertions are off-point.
You have not presented any points nor answer my question. Please go back and re-read my post slowly and repeatedly so that you can have a comprehension of what was written there.
By the way how many battles have you ‘brave people’ won in your little time of existence?
Kanu & Ojukwu remain the biggest cowards in World history when it comes to war. They both fled and allow their followers to perish.
Or your uncle Nzeogwu that betrayed Ahmadu Bello (who helped him got enlisted in the Army) by sneaking in to kill him and his family in dead of the night, Tim Onwuatuegwu that shot defenseless pregnant wife of Ademulegun (his commander in whose house he had been well known as a friend and seen as an ‘uncle’ to the kids) in cold blood.
Or Ifeajuna, who although was a betrayer himself, but was betrayed and executed by Ojukwu during the war.
Or your uncle Azikiwe that sided with NPC selling the right of the south by accepting to be a ceremonial president under a grade two teacher, Balewa?
Moreover, the idiot came to recognition riding the platform of NCNC, a party founded by a Yoruba man (1948), Hebert Macauley, who took him as his political son.
Or the same ass-licking Azikiwe who opposed the secession clause that others wanted to be included in the Nigeria constitution prior to independence back in 1954?
The ass-licking slowpoke chose to ally with NPN in second republic only to be short-changed by his aboki masters.
You ingrates have forgotten that Turai Yardua, Babagana Kingibe and others put the country in the dark just to perpetuate aboki stranglehold on power back in 2010, until people like Pastor Tunde Bakare, The Odumakins etc took up the fight and ensured Jonathan was brought in; where were your chest-beating Igbo heroes then?
Maybe you have forgotten it was a pigyeasterner in the person of Arthur Nzeribe that Abacha used to truncate the June 12, 1993 election mandate? Humphrey Nwosu was earlier used by IBB for the same purpose.
Or your Uncle Ojukwu that decided to come to the same Nigeria and contest for Presidency of a Nigeria, which he led over 2 million of his hopeless followers dead fighting less than 14 years earlier? One cannot blame him after-all he knew you guys suffer from collective amnesia & generational greed.
Time, duties and space would not permit me say more than these for now. I await your REASONABLE response to these and not the ‘beer-parlour brand of narration’ you guys are well known for.
Little boy go back to a decent research and read history. Please stop displaying your ‘mumuism’ online for the whole world to see.
It is obvious you are a casual observer and a person with zero-knowledge of political history of Nigeria.
Keep on chest beating and wallowing in your ignorance and bigotry.

RTSC:
You are igbo - a major language in Nigeria.
And you are asking which language to learn?

I am igbo, but some of the most stupid people I have seen in my life are igbo.

A Yoruba can never ask a question like this.

RTSC, you are too combative naaa,my dear.
Chai, you sabi quarell well well o.
Igbos are wonderful people, so are Yorubas, the challenge here is like what we have in all colonized territories around the world. The colonialists have indoctrinated a belief of inferiority in many of us. So at this stage, we have seen that they are only interested in capturing us both physically and MENTALLY (as is the case of languages, history and culture, etc).
Today, many of us are taking up the self-emancipation mission. So that the future generations shall not remain shackled as those from the past and some in this present time.
The OP has been able to see that there is nothing inferior about us as Africans, he is only confused because around him where he says he resides (US), he comes across people who speaks Yoruba more than other Nigerian languages. Igbos would rather speak English outside of the shores of their homeland. And he, being in an environment where people talks about political Nationalities (Nigerians before being Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba), he may believe that being able to speak any of the three major languages is helpful to his plan of returning to Nigeria in future. But he is wrong, we at home have to let him know that at home here, we are Hausas, Igbos, Yorubas etc, before being Nigerians as opposed to the perception of folks who are born and raised outside of these shores.

Thank you RTSC. I enjoy your posts and enjoy the way we bash and quarrel online. God bless you, my brother.

Humans and the need to conform. You are merely existing if your only aim is to make your life a glaring spectacle to people. Just live your life and stop giving people titles, e.g haters, in your life.

Very apt. Thank you for this precious and wise saying.

ChristianNorth:
Check it out on Google. I signed the counter petition. Open a thread reminding them of this treachery again, they will deny it with their life.

To show you again how wicked they are.

Those dude shouted 4+4 pass the Northerners but during the election, they gave Atiku more votes than the SE in their treacherous nature.

Everyone was surprised and Ndi Igbo were hailing them, but when state results starts coming in officially and it seems that Buhari is leading they turned 360 degrees immediately and started insulting Ndi Igbo for voting the same Buhari they voted more than them.

Those dudes created over 10 threads mocking Ndi Igbo. Before the election, the belief was SW will produce DSP and Speaker, but their treachery will cost them both. It is the same North that they are asslicking for validation that is pushing for a SE Senate President or DSP.

With close to 100 Reps in opposition, SW will never smell the Speaker position.

It is just because of their turn coat that many Igbos vowed with their lives they will never vote for SW in 2018.

If this guys are wise as they claim, they would have shut up their mouth

Primate, your people have never liked the Yoruba, they have no signed agreement, alliance or treaty with them, neither do they speak same language, shared history nor have anything in common. So where does `betrayal or turn-coat` emerge from? Learn to get your facts right. Easterners are fond of hoping on others to fight their political battles for them. That is why east is suffering. Nobody wants to take responsibility among the prominent Igbo sons due to cowardice, greed & personal biz interests.
Yoruba have done the best they can by allowing Igbo do business in the West peacefully as opposed to many other zones. History of ` abandoned` properties the SS used to usurped Igbo properties all over Port Harcourt & SS after the Civil War readily come to mind, yet no Igbo house or property was confiscated in SW. Greed for oil money makes Igbo to claim brotherhood with the `saboteurs` of yesteryears. The Igbo need to think before calling people names.
Politics is a battle of interests. Igbo expecting others to fight their battles for them reeks of parasitism.
How many elected Igbo Senators have come out to fly the flag of self determination or restructuring that most Igbo people yearn for? But we expect Yoruba politicians to adopt Igbo agenda and fight for Igbo interest? Pls politics is about constituency interests.
Igbo are politically naïve & childish to expect people who are not in alliance with them to defend their interests for them. Stop calling people who shares nothing with you traitors, saboteurs, etc.
To your tents O Israel. All man for himself, God for us all.

nelsonoba:
Because this God does not force himself or decisions on people while they have a freewill and are still on earth. This is why this God demands that people pray to him first before he steps in to help them. This is why this God hates sin, but has not come down from heaven to force you to accept Christ as your saviour. This is why when this God saw you about to commit fornication with your girlfriend, He did not come down from heaven to stop you from committing that sin which He already knows is destructive to your soul. This is why this God judges people at the end of their life because all the while they were alive on earth, they had a freewill to please Him and follow his way or not, so whatever decision humans make on earth, God is just for punishing or rewarding us at the end of life.

This is also why this God has not come down from heaven to slap your mouth all he while you have been insulting him, because he has given you a freewill to decide what you want to do on earth.....but you will be held accountable for your choices at the end of your life. Only Jesus can save you if you so wish

I love this. Thank you Mr Nelson.

BlackHummer:
Look at what you are saying. Your whole comment reeks of vengeance and hunger for blood, typical of a moslem. You couldn't just make your point without threatening to wipe out existence?

Well, let me sink to your level of brutality. Trust me when i say, only North Korea can wipe the whole Islamic nations if they are to fight. You don not have to believe it but it is a fact. If u are educated enough and conversant with global trends, the you will see that this statement is true. Problem with moslems is that you are too bold to make war threats but the world just keeps quite because in the event of war, innocent lives will be lost. This is unlike moslems who don't value human lives for as long as jihad is concerned. I can even name more countries that will wipe out Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Iran combined. Only 5 Israeli airforce jet wiped out an entire Egyptian force. I have not even mentioned US, Russia, China.....honestly, if u think any Islamic nation(s) have the military strength to fight any of the aforementioned, then you are naive.

You said I mentioned few small countries? Have you done the research I challenged you do? Name one Islamic country that is not involved in murder, killing etc en mass? In Africa, we have Sudan, Somalia, Gabon...name them. In Asia, we have Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Pakistan, Philistine, Turkey, name them. Only Indonisia is relatively peaceful.

You cannot mention terrorism without Islam. Both words are mutually complementary.

The western people are not just fishing propaganda. They are saying facts. We all see it. Have u ever seen Christian book haram or Christian's killing in the name of Jesus? Have you heard Buddhists killing in the name of Buddha? All we here is Alllaaaaaaaaahhuuuuakbar...and heads rolling.

It is so bad that the president of Egypt once said Islam is the problem of this world and he is right!

Sadly correct. Bitterly the truth.

[quote author= post=76485010]Tho, the video was only audible for the first 4 seconds and went with no audio for the remaining seconds,
We can't say we heard her saying that at this particular time, until we are able to get another clip of this episode.

That being said,
Below is FOOD FOR THOUGHT for TRUE IGBOS of our nation,
Truth is always bitter tho......

(Written 5 months ago)
SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now barely 5 months to another election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary abuse from nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.
