obailala:
Last time El Rufai paid ransome to these marauders, the very same people cursing Rufai today on this thread for refusing to pay ransome are the very same people who accused him of funding terrorists by paying them to stop killing.
Seeing and reading posts from people like you makes someone just shake his head and walk away.
People like you are the ones who criticized and made mockery of that poor doctor who died in that train.

I've come to realize long ago that Nigerians are very wicked.

The idiotic midget says the bandits are boko haram terrorists and some bandits in kebbi, Kano,etc but notice how they keep shielding the real killers:FULANIS.

Until Nigerians especially southerners give these fulanis the treatment, Nigerians are simply at their mercy...the only problem of the south are these abomination of a coneheaded structural elements

Very good.

I used to imagine how these prisoners are kept inside the prison buildings.

A person who stole 50 yam seedlings in same enclosure with one animal who just raped his 75 Yr old grandmother to death. What exactly is that supposed to mean? huh
oldmnkY quit acting like you have any intelligence grin
5 weeks inside police cell should be enough punishment for stealing 50 yam seedlings, and this is even to deter potential stealers of yam seedlings. Otherwise, since there is an option of fine, he should be given the opportunity to go search for the money and pay. angry

Politics › Re: 2023 Presidency: 9 Aspirants From The South East by Iceberg3: 9:53pm On Mar 31, 2022
[quote author= post=111535279]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 and a half 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 mentions 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.

Why are we still referring to them as bandits instead of terrorists? is this how we'll keep playing politics with people's lives because some big figures in the North want to cover up the terrorists attrocities going on in the region? for how long??
I blame Akeredolu's Igbo wife and all Igbos grin
Something deep is going on that most of us don't know yet.. they have attacked virtually everywhere in North and have hoisted flags in some L.G.As yet Northerners aren't bothered.. North will kill Nigeria finally with muslim terrorists they have allowed free hand to be operating as they like. Just recently, it was Kaduna airport that they attacked killing an airport worker and now this.
It's a pity the number one citizen is more intereated in sending Army and ammunitions to Imo state in SE while those terrorizing Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina, Niger etc. are allowed to roam freely.

You will reap what you sow whether you hide behind a keyboard to commit sin or not.

If you are not jittery, wait for concrete evidence and stop being a nuisance online.
If she is your sister, speak now so we all seek justice for your murdered sister.

No family in Africa loses a child and keep quiet. We honour and respect the dead.Twitter is a toxic and hate filled platform .I will never believe such from twitter.
Do not muddle up this serious issue. It is sad enough whether it is fake news or real and that is why the best thing to do is await confirmation.
it is better to remain silent and be thought a fouoool than opening your mouth and quickly remove all doubts whatsoever

We ipob yuuts already know what to tag them and we will go drink water, rest, then jubrin will feel the heat very well.

The trick of the trade is very easy. Threaten everybody with the weapons in the armoury of ipob pigs, warn everyone not to come out during the sit at home. Then on Monday, ipob pigs go out to cause mayhem.

After all that, we place the blame on fulani herdsmen and dss, the thing go dey pain jubrin die. grin
