shymexx: Sir, I'll like to know your opinion about the letter, the timing, and perhaps the reason why you think she decided to open-the-pandora-box when the whole polity is heated.

1). Can you authenticate the letter? Personally, I believe someone who has a Ph.D from an Ivy league University wouldn't write something as disjointed and simplistic as this to the public, without proof-reading it. The letter looks like something written by an undergraduate student.

2). If she actually wrote the letter, what do you think the motive is and why now? Do you think she was compromised and given an offer she couldn't resist, hence why she sold her soul?

3). I don't know much about her history except the fact that her dad ruled the country. However, I believe she must have benefited from her dad's star-power/circle-of-influence in Nigerian politics. So why would she betray all that regardless of the infraction between the both of them? Do you think she's trying to kill two birds with one stone - clear her name while killing her dad politically - and at the same time get a retirement settlement from GEJ and disappear - since she's politically dead in Nigeria as asserted in the letter?

Regardless, from the write-up, I noticed she doesn't even see herself as a Nigerian. She cited her Ijebu-Yoruba grandma and alluded to Nigeria as a "British creation" - to buttress that. I guess that's why most of the public servants/officers in Nigeria don't really care about the country. It's safe to say that there's no Nigeria/Nigerian - just millions of disenfranchised people in a geographical location, trying to survive by any means necessary.

I await your response, Sir.

What a country!!!

Why do you call him "sir"? Just curious. Also, the bolded is reality

Of course this thread is going to be dragged into the gutter. What is the op's objective?

Hahahaaa love these subtitle jokes! Love Yoruba movies ( not the filthy ones) ! Nice post op

Khalessi: Was this subtitle written by Funke Akindele?

By Jenifa maybe, not Funke Akindele who is quite articulate in English

k.style:
Why obj just dey tackle 'papa peace' na?.....but on a crious note,gej nids 2 put his house in order...he's fast becomin d worst tin 2 hapn 2 9ja since d dayz of anini....i hope he delivers....all izz well

Am curious to know what the common man in the street is seeing that makes the bolded true? Am not pro (or against) GEJ but sincerely cant understand the hue and cry. How are people judging GEJ to be the worst president compared to the predecessors?

Apart from Boko Haram which you cant really lay at his feet since islamic extremism is now a global thing....

POPE II: why did you bring this trash on the front page ? You did that for people to laugh @ igbo right?

nuclearboy: when did "former federal minister" become a current title like Dr, Mr, etc?

This country never ceases to amuse


nuclearboy
former observer of a ridiculous society

FFK is kinda fyne but he can abuse!! Ah ahn...!!! Never known a man to be so acerbic (sharp mout for those who are wondering )

Exposed on NL??! Then they are finished forever...

Ikengawo: lol at sophistication.

The SW functions as so. Nobody wants anyone to be seen as bigger than them. It's very true that if the yoruba are given power, they will turn against whom ever the yoruba in power is unanimously. They don't like seeing the advancement of people like them and the more like them you are the more uncomfortable they are with your success.

This is why the focus is on Igbos and not Fulanis or Hausas. They would rather the Fulani and Hausa succeed because they are strange and distant. If Igbos and Ijaws start to shine they will feel insecure and begin attacking.

The hard part about this mentality is they themselves are too afraid to be the change they want to see. They won't start something, they will do it after someone else has done it and proved it can be done, but when it's time to celebrate they will claim that they did the entire thing themselves and did it the best with no objective means of showing this.


Instead of Ekiti or Osun leading Imo, Anambra, Abia and Delta in education, they will simply say they are the 'most educated tribe' and begin attacking the states that are leading.

Instead of producing their own Achebe, they will write 150 articles trying to breakdown his character despite the fact that he's one of the only africans that have not only outdone the continent, but the rest of the human race that are in his field.


They will also start propping false 'competition' against the person that's 'winning'.

suddenly Dbanj sells as many records and draws the crowd that Psquare does
suddenly Omotola is equal in pay popularity and importance to the movie industry as Genevive Nnaji
suddenly Tinubu is equal to PDP in influence and power despite the fact that he could only deliver 1 state in the federal election, and lost Ondo state to an igbo man headed party that was tried of tribal politics.
suddenly Ibadan is Enugu
suddenly, realizing the entire region is a slum, they're all from Lagos and nobody else can be a Lagosian despite the fact that the governor is from Ekiti and the state has had 2 igbo governors a bini and up to 4 northerners.
suddenly Nollywood is 'igbo' and Yorubawood(?) is equal to it.
instead of being accomdating, they'll claim it
instead of being sophisticated, they'll claim it
instead of being industrious, they'll claim it.



this is crab in a bucket mentality. If you put a group of crabs in one bucket, and one starts to climb out, the rest of the crabs will pull him down.

Believe me, I have an equally extensive list of things i like about the yoruba and I respect them as a people and culture immensely, but im constantly disappointed but their crabs in a bucket mentality and obnoxious belief that other southerners are the enemy. I wouldn't be this critical if i didn't respect them but how is a person supposed to respect a group of people who see the massacre of igbos in biafra by northerners and feel that this was a good thing? or a funny thing?

again it's very easy for the rest of nigeria to see where the problem is coming from.

have to say whenever this Igbo/Yoruba posts come up , so many commenters manage to sound like jilted bridegrooms..... Every time....

I am sure Yoruba nation must feel sorry for disappointing Igbo nation one way or the other over the years but I think the Igbo nation should get over it and move on. Focus on each other's good points and how we can live together ....please...

ROSSIKE: Patrice Lumumba was the great Congolese leader who was accountable, progressive, and popularly elected after their independence. He was about to turn Congo into the economic powerhouse of Africa, but was overthrown and assassinated in a CIA led coup in the 1960s, and they promptly imposed an illiterate sergeant, Mobutu Sese Seko on the nation. The rest is history.

How is that about ''Africans having no one but themselves to blame''? People like you need to simply think before playing loud lapdog to western manipulators. It does appear that a generation of progressive post independence nationalist leaders were suppressed by western powers either through assassination or threats etc, which gave rise to a new generation of pro-western stooges.

a medal for this guy/girl too!

duni04: Has it ever occured to u that congo's problems may b cos its too big to administer? A country more than twice the size of Nigeria and with more ethnicities, tribes and languages than most other parts of Africa and with vast reserves of natural resources was always bound to experience the problems Congo has experienced, and continues to experience. That country is just too big and too rich to be governed centrally. The situation in d Congo is so bad that neighboring countries have assumed control over the countries resources in areas where the central government in Kinshasa has no control.

. Give this guy/girl a medal! Same problem plaguing "Lie"geria

django1: Lol! These phools are disillusional! You'll make up a story and another person will come and build on it.

Hahahaa yes! I "heart" NL.... creative commentators

Disappointed at the lack of conclusion. Start well, finish well....

Sonitec: Dis post is wow!
So Kemi was grow up in Ibadan & is cracking feke tone of voice all over d place. And can u bleve dat she is smelling all over her body. Wow.
I now understan why she is not marry becoz we men like to have clean woman in d house.
But am shock dat she bite her child. is like she must go for treatment of her mind or is like she is demon posess. De bible say liars will go to hell so is like Kemi is almost at the door of hell. I beg d classmates to have pity on her becoz she can run mad to soocide if you revil too much becoz is very shameful what she have done.

Save me!

Jakumo: It is good to see that Nigerian law-makers are schooled in the noble art of Filipino Escrima stick-fighting.

Hopefully the gentleman with the fractuired skull will recover and become a better fighter in due course.

LOL!

KOO makes a good journalist though whatever else she may be. Good in this sense does not mean righteous upstanding or even notorious, infamous etc just that she is good at making and spreading news wherever she is ...

100 likes for the op

O ma se o, may his soul rest in peace

Nollywood has a role to play here to bring cultural dance to the spotlight

I agree. Good observation.

At op pay some attention in your biology classes and all of these mysteries will be solved for you

I agree that a higher value needs to be placed on education in the north somehow but not sure how this would be achieved in the face of BH etc. its quite daunting that the even the heavily unbalanced quota system failed in that objective. Seems obvious though that the change must cone from within the north

Fulaman198: We refused to be modernised really? I have a computer science degree, what about Lamido Sanusi? What about Dangoté? Don't give me that nonsense sha. Islam has nothing to do with it at all.

Read this article: http://labarai.com/the-harm-nigeria-does-to-the-north/

To me personally, I don't care where one comes from as long as they have a good heart.

well i read the article and i think it should be re titled : the harm the north inflicted on itself. Haba!

Nice pics thanks for sharing your day with us.

Just to say kudos to the 22 viewers who haven't deigned to post a reply to the latest inanity... Keep it up please. He may be encouraged to stop stalking Nairaland and go find a Somali Online Forum to keep busy

Ajuran: What I have been saying for years is finally backed by research. Black women are said to be the least attractive. This attempt to label people like Somalis, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Nubians as black is an attempt by blacks to lighten and beauty the definition of what it means to be black. This despite the fact that dna and linguistics shows Somalis/Ethiopians are our own people called Cushitic.



The only thing I can think of that might potentially explain the lower average level of physical attractiveness among black women is testosterone. Africans on average have higher levels of testosterone than other races, and testosterone, being an androgen (male hormone), affects the physical attractiveness of men and women differently. Men with higher levels of testosterone have more masculine features and are therefore more physically attractive. In contrast, women with higher levels of testosterone also have more masculine features and are therefore less physically attractive. The race difference in the level of testosterone can therefore potentially explain why black women are less physically attractive than women of other races,

Why is this guy and the others like him tolerated on NL? What is their fascination with NLErs? Stalker tinz...

After eating and drinking you went home

Man Who Sued Wife Over 'Ugly Baby' Yarn Is Probably A Hoax

Rocket News 24 covered the picture more than a year ago – and claims it is a rather cruel advert for a plastic surgery clinic in Taiwan.

According to the channel, the advert’s strapline featured the words: “The only thing you have to worry about after plastic surgery is the explaining you’ll have to do to your children.”

PAGAN 9JA:
