This matter has been overflogged!

This is tantamount to crying over spilt milk

My exact thoughts. How about we look forward to what the new government can achieve in the next 4 years. Perhaps highlight pitfalls to avoid rather than dwelling on a leadership that has become history. Everyday Jonathan this Jonathan that. People are gradually beginning to sound like market women at Balogun.

I have never had this level of laughter in a long long while with eyes real wet. Thank God i use an enclosed office. The questions appeared tasking enough but the answers from respondents just got me laughing rather stupidly.

In reality if you were to ask me any of those questions, i will just smile and thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed and confirm my expectation that you revert to me in my area of specialization if you think we should continue having a discussion on the prospective job offer.

VOICEOFTHEMASES:
THEY STOLE HIS JOB, AND GAVE HIM BULLETS.

Below this post are the bullet ridden body of Comrade Ugonna Omeronye and another picture of this murdered handsome and vibrant youth. Ugoo was killed few hours to the commencement of last Saturday's gubernatorial and State House of Assembly Election. Ugoo was until his death the chief campaigner for the restoration of the 10,000 jobs scheme; a job scheme that was initiated by the Ikedi Ohakim government, in which over ten thousand Imo young graduates were offered jobs into the Imo State Civil service, about five thousand of them were injected into the Imo State school system to reinvigorate our educational system and guarantee qualitative education for our children, while providing a secured and well paying jobs for our teeming graduates.
The Imo 10,000 job scheme is a signature project of ex-Governor Ikedi Ohakim, and is acclaimed across the Federation as the most transparent recruitment exercise embarked upon by any State Government. It is curious that the incumbent Governor who cruised to electoral victory in 2011 on huge promises of providing good education for our children and 'rescuing' our State sacked these 10,000 jobs beneficiaries without any genuine reason. Okorocha's only reason on the 6th of June when he made that tragic broadcast was that, the State cannot afford to absorb such number of staff into its work force. However, the same Governor Okorocha has gone ahead to boast about 'ENGAGING' 25,000 youths in his crappy 'Youth Must Work' comedy.
Late Comrade Ugonna Omeronye who hailed from Akatta in Oru East LGA of the State was a virulent critic of the Okorocha government. Having succeeded in extracting a commitment from the PDP that its government will recall the beneficiaries of the 10,000 jobs scheme, Ugoo was at the forefront of campaigns for the election of a PDP government in the State. Few hours before he was mauled down by the assassin's bullets, Ugoo sent out bulk text messages to all the 10,000 jobs beneficiaries, reminding them that a vote for the PDP is a vote for the recovery of their jobs and a guarantee of a safer future for them and their family members.
With allegations of desperate rigging and manipulations trailing the inconclusive governorship election in the State, will it not be safe to point our fingers to certain directions in our investigation of this murder. The same Oru East, where Ugoo hailed from is the same LGA where "the INEC- Electoral Officer, Mrs. Emmanuela Okpara confessed that she was kidnapped and taken to a secret location by the agents of the APC candidate, where she was forced at gunpoint to enter fictitious figures."
Ugoo's spirit shall not rest, until those connected in anyway to his gruesome murder have been found and brought to book.

Caracta:
You learn new words and toughen up.

You learn cuss words and funny diss lines.

You begin to understand that there are weird people with weird stories in weird relationships in weird places.

You are either afraid or excited about marriage.

You learn your freedom of expression is limited by a moderator's ban or antispam bot ban.

You learn a (f) moniker is probably a male guy pretending to be female.


You discover some attention-seeking stunts by some group of persons also known as Trolls.

I agree with you especially on the mods ban. Sometimes for inexplicable reasons. I also agree with you on the f moniker. And when you address the person as a lady she gets angry and reminds you he is a guy.

Its a place to kill boredom and generally fight, even if for no reason. It is also a place i have seen hatred amongst tribes, the type you cannot even find on the streets.

Finally a place that reconfirms to me that if we were all to meet in real life, in a closed area we would all have great fun but some people will physically kill others, like i will need just 5 minutes alone with some people in here.

amunkita03:
It really marvels me, how our pple will see a candidate like OTTI (with all his abilities including how he transformed Diamond bank over night) n still vote another candidate with Lil or nothing to offer. SMH

I feel so emotional seeing how Abians are struggling to extricate themselves from the grips and stranglehold of TA. I am happy they have now seen the light and there is nothing that will stop Otti. People claiming to vote TA are doing that and rigging for him for personal gains. My close friend is canvassing strongly for Ikpeazu because he believes he will become the Attorney General of Abia State if that guy wins. Meanwhile this Ikpeazu guy is just a stooge of TA to be planted in the state house to perpetuate the Orji dynasty. Chukwu amankwe.

I 4 talk na.

BTW y re dis Ngwa ppl disturbing us since today with banger shots claiming dat Okezie of PDP has bin declared winner.
.
Finally tank Jah 4 dis news, at least my mind has rested now till further notice. #Jahbless

Bros even me oo. Governance adds no direct value to me but i know that Abians are suffering under the yoke of TA. They want to use their hands and emancipate themselves. God will see them through.

Evathyst:
Shey u don start abi?


U no get better words wey u fit take console person abi

My dear i feel bad too especially as it affects my state Abia. However there isnt much we can do about some of these things. Take heart ooo. There is still another chance after 4 years.

Meanwhile i hope it is not true

Evathyst:
Jesus! I've been up all night praying that ds woman wins.


How the heck am I supposed to stomach this 'bad' news now?

Who were u praying to? Jesus is not and never was a politician so what is his own in who wins?

austinkenneth:
Tribunal waiting after May 29.No way this result can stand.

If i have yo contribute my personal cash yo contest this in court i will. However i do not believe this to be true. Besides it will be helpful if the mass media reports this or we can get signed document and not personal papers drawn up by individuals

JOBLESS YEEBOEES WASTING THE EARLY YEARS OF THEIR LIVES PROTESTING BECAUSE OF PEANUTS. WHEN THEY REALIZE THEIR LIFE IS MISERABLE, THEY START ROBBERY, KIDNAPPING AND DRUG TRAFFICKING FOR SURVIVAL.

Just re-read your post and think, then come back and re-post, this time, meaningfully.

I counted 4 dolphins after i had spent time admiring that tight embrace. Then the remaining dolphins gave way for i what i preferred to see....those two....

Promxy94:
op u don't because of a particular categories the general....not everybody smokes besides I don't and mind you it depends on the individual....

One, you are male, i said female. Two, I have never interacted with you, so what is your point? Has english comprehension become such a big deal?

it is Otti all the way. I am tired of flying to owerri in 45 minutes and then do 7 hours to get to Arochukwu kingdom. Ndichie Aro will not allow Orji to succeed. please say amen as appropriate. And that his murderous son nicknamed ikuku should be tried and shackled by the balls.

TITOBIGZ:
Brothers in ur employ ,so i can try robbery,nna,you go skull @ all,like governor like ds were,but cross river ladies are the best sha.

keep embarrassing yourself. that usage is not only correct but impeccable. I have told you, as a kid I respected my elders and those who knew better than me. Go and learn.

barcanista:
sorry I'm celebrating with the entire SS and SE over the flogging of Amaechi and Okorocha from Rivers(my state) and Imo respectively.

Guy any updates from Abia? I lost track yesterday after i gathered that Otti was leading. Cheers.

Oloshi ma le le yike,omo ale jati jati.say your address so we can send orunmila to pay u a visit

I will bottle your orunmila plus ayinlala and take them to my maternal state of origin in cross river. You will come prostrating to recover them. You want my address so u can try robbery? Your brothers in my employ who are getting paid by my money in the name of OPC will waste your life for you. You are just a small boy so just shut up when men are talking

[e

Level? lol.... You gys are ony about 15% of the population, you want to level? Same thing ojuwkwu bragged about when he said we would be shocked by biafran army.... Look what happened, he fled and many unfortunate things... You cannot level anywhere in yoruba land same way hausa or yoruba wont brag of such in your land..... This elections should have taught you guys somethings

Read through all my posts. I dont know Jack about this election and i dont care so there is no learning curve for me. My former girlfriend worked under Ambode and so she is a freak for him and i therefore said if i was gonna vote i will vote for ambode. I have no leanings and i dont care who wins or loses. They aint gon add nader to my life. Not one thing so just shut it. You guys can continue your cap in hand begging. I am not cut out for that bull crap.

tsdarkside:
wait,wait,waitttttttt.............are you calling me yoruba i would be proud to be yoruba,but i am not...i am urhobo,and i want nothing to do with
igbos.....period...

oghene-do-do----OGHENE

I dislike both yoruba and edo but i will still take yoruba out of the two evils. So what exactly are you proud about. Who wants a state of only criminals and ashe.wo.s. what else does your state promote ok except maybe witchcraft. This one still get mouth yo talk? Rubbish

akthedream:
I think you are not proud of where you from.....I don't do tribal stuff..I repeat..I am an Edo guy...and don't argue foolishly...Igbo should fight alone and not involve other tribes...when they were causing trouble,they did that alonne without involving others...there is a big difference between SE and SS..get that into your dumb head.

Guy stop weeing on your pants. No one is scared. It is very simple. No one can cripple my company it is nothing to do with Yoruba. They will try to disturb the traders only yo find out that spare part prices will sky rocket and they will come back to open any closed market. Yorubas in this Lagos still drive the highest number of rickety cars and buses.

I am igbo and proudly too. Nothing scares me. Whoever is begging for protection is speaking for himself. If people want us to level this place lets go to war. When the dust is settled there will be no Lagos anymore and survivors would have learnt their lessons

LasoulMacuby:
Ambode should even send all igbos in Lagos back to their States of origin when he becomes governor.
Haba! A very selfish, greedy and bias set of people.
I wonder why all the development they claim to take to other states cannot be seen in their own States.
So far as I can tell even for the next 50 years, no state in the East can be as developed as Lagos, they actually brought the idiom of "no man's land". Flush them all out
The question you should now ask yourself is must you stay in Lagos? It's simply means you can't afford to loose what you are gaining from the Yoruba land, else with all your complaint about the high rate of tax, you would have relocated a long time ago

If you are smart by half you will realize that companies employ you and retain you where your services are most needed. And incorporated companies are federal government citizens. I hope your doltic brain can assimilate that. What it therefore means is that i can work wherever my company requires me to in this country. Which is why i move round from abuja to ph to calabar to owerri . It is amazing you did not see the point i was making about contributing tax money to the state. You all are blinded by tbe fact we are doing well here. Even if i were to leave Lagos, you dont have as an individual what it takes to take over my job. So what is your headache?

ddami:
wow 300k tax money at 24% so you earn about #1.250m per mnth.nairaland has rich people oooooo.thank u 4 ur generosity and charity to Lagos we promise it will b used judiciously,

Your maths is very good. That figure does not include off payroll bonuses paid across the year. But i hope you noted my point. It is not about what i earn but my contribution on a monthly basis to my society.

seunfly:
Who is tribal here? Ambode or Agbaje?

Can you allow such madness in your place?
Chris Ingige lost senate presidency position not because he incited Yoruba against Igbo or he embarrassed any eze or he claimed anambra for Yoruba, but because he belongs to a party they did not believed in. What would have happened to him if he does what Agbaje did.
The same Ingige incedence is happening to rochas.

I think Yorubas has tried enough for non_Yorubas in their land, they voted for Igbo federal house of rep, choose igbos as commissioners in strategic position and paid school fees, medical bills and so many things we don't even know. Yet you turn against the same people because of jonathan's loss.

In Osun, Akwa ibom woman won house of rep not because she a Yoruba woman, same thing with Igbo man made commissioner in kwara state during Muhammed lawal's term not because they are more than 10% but they are humbly part and parcel of the society, people appreciates their contribution and love them. But if they want to force them self on them and flex mustle in their own land who will tolerate that nonsense. Such attitude causes self awareness and reaccessment for a care free society and it breeds hostility.

Lagos did this Lagos did that. Is it for free? The tax i pay will probaby pay you 2months salary at a go. At a tax rate of 24% I pay about N300k tax per month. I do not know where else that figure gets paid in Nigeria at my level. So just shut up. Lagos has done nothing for anybody. Everybody in Lagos is contributing to make Lahos whT is is. We are even feeding your omoniles and motor park touts when we park our cars and pay them between N400 and N500 per hour. Tell me in one sentence what Lagos has done for me. I buy your land at cut throat with my money. I settle multiple families in the name of omoniles. I employ your wretched azz brothers to work on the project. I pay my taxes and use the facilities arising out of my money. I work for annorganized private sector company and report to a non yoruba MD but have 3 yorubas reporting directly to me and quite a few others across the function reporting to me too both igbos, yorubas and other Nigerians. We treat each other with mutual respect. Pray what exactly has yoruba land done for me as a favour?

excess4luv:
I said it 2 weeks ago at my polling unit, PDP is violent in the election, and APGA will surprise them,
My FTC to Alex Otti

If this is true i will host a party. I have wanted this Orji man to get fvcked while Otti wins. I am already celebrating the possibility

gbosaa:
Bia nwokem, i quoted and responded to a certain question posed by somebody who wanted to know what 'Yoruba accommodation' meant. Don't take my post at face value.

You are not the only one doing business with Yoruba people or benefitting from their accommodation.

A Yoruba man accommodates me as well. My jedijedi medicine supplier is a Yoruba man and I'm grateful to him that he gives me gbogbonise without charging me extra.

If that is not accommodation, you tell me what it is.

Igbos should be grateful that Yorubas gave them life.

Abi oooo

gbosaa:
Z


You should be grateful that the Yorubas allowed you to live in Lagos.
You should be grateful that they allowed you to work in Lagos.
You should be grateful that they allowed you spend your money in Lagos.
You should be grateful that they allowed you breathe Lagos air.
You should be grateful that they allowed you listen to their noise.
You should be grateful for the accommodation that Yorubas gave you.

You just defined balderdash.

I have them in my state and i never for once thought i was doing them a favour. Infact my house in the villa was completely tiled by a yoruba guy. I respect his hardwork and sincerety. I treat him as a human and a Nigerian. Are you guys this backward? If you think this way in Nigeria that we all own why would it be possible for me to buy land and build in Ghana? a project which is currently ongoing? Like i said, every bit of trash you mentioned out there was paid for. I plan on having yorubas as my tenants soon. Live with it, our relationship is symbiotic. I even date your girls and they are happy because the relationship is mutual. Grow up boy.

Let me add for good measure that as i type this i am drinking beer in a yoruba owned shop and i am paying. I am also buying beer for some of my guys here who are yoruba so what d heck?

chrisbaba1:
[size=17pt]I don't mean to be tribalistic... But on a real I think its time Yoruba let igbos understand (non violently) that they are accommodated in lagos does not mean they own it... This is the sad transition igbos have gradually forged us to take because of the impunity of many towards the yorubas, our land and culture.... That welcoming accomodating host nonesense has to be re-evaluated to preserve our identity as they preserve theirs every where in the east....... If regards of our land nd culture won't be given then why remain so tolerant? [/size]

I find it incomprehensible the way you guys keep talking about this hist community thingy. I bring my money. I buy your land. I settle omonile. I build my house. I pay my tax. I work for my employer. I drive on givernment built roads. I pay road taxes and remain law abiding to the state. so what exactly is Lagos doing for me. The average yoruba person in the east does the same. So what is it about host and visitor. And how has the Lagosian helped me differently. I even have three of them working under me directly and a few others reporting to me. We have mutual respect for each other. I am struggling to understand how non igbos are benefitting igbos and vice versa.

Nooo. Let people abuse me for refusing to put my life and limb on the line for these people who are so self centered that they only think about the gains they will make at the expense of the masses. Meanwhile their kids are in safe havens abroad.

You need a crane to take me to register for a PVC and you need God to physically carry me to the polling booths

Uncle, I write better English than you, and if for some reason you fail to notice typos, then too bad. I am not on trial here. If we ever had to write essays perhaps we will find out between you and i who does this better. For now, just live with what you have.

Even your leaders vote and go home while you people want to die on top mandate that will only impoverish you the more
