Ikengawo: The ignorance on this thread is record breaking

Botswana has the highest standard of living in Africa and is rated as the most stable government.
This is a result of neglected education for the generation of nigerians that are now old enough to travel. Nigerians have an extremely dim understanding of the rest of the world and themselves and will find themselves crawling the globe to humiliate their own lives. I don't believe it's primarily igbos by far that are leading this global foolishness, but before we start saying it's and igbo problem we have to realize it's really a national one.

Igbos are ambitious, nobody will take that from them but it's almost impossible to convince them what they own is better than what they can possiby own or have and that's what leads to their desperate nature.

Yorubas are fearful, nobody will take that from them either. A yoruba person is not going to risk what he has, even if it's very little, no matter the reward and don't typically think outside of what's theres. Many yorubas don't know there was a civil war in Nigeria.

The reason I point this difference out is because the igbo ignorance is manifesting in travelling the world blindly and becoming a nuisance and the yoruba ignorance is manifesting in not being able to think or look outside of the very narrow box they already have, hence poverty and a total ignorance of anything outside of their family and region. They typically don't want more because they don't know there's is more out there and would rather brag about whats been done that complain about the need to do more. the root of the problem is ignorance. While igbos are developing and even destroying other places, their homeland is neglected, and while yorubas are boxed in by fear their homeland remains stagnant. This is why the two regions of africa that should be the most developed, aren't.

ignorance mixed with our respective cultural nature isn't doing anything for us.

Share ignorance my broda . I have lived in that country for 7 yrs . that country is stunning . I will say it is the best place to live on earth though high prevalence of HIV. It is the most stable coutry in africa, least corrupt, strongest currency in Africa ( Pula botswana money is stronger than that south african Rand) highest producer of diamond in Africa , strong economy , the capital city is the fastest growing city in the world , one of the best tourist place in the world , most peaceful in Africa etc . Thats why they are chasing Nigerians out . Nigerians are doing well in that country business wise - genuine business.....

Osama bin ladin: Always on point. Gbam!

The teacher is doing integrated mathethetic 'maths 101' where he was integrating sexology into maths using joystick

Brimmie: MY TAKE:
The only difference between international law and Nigeria is the imaginary boundary created by the British. .

As for me, I give kudos to Fasola for what he did.

Nigeria is an international union of many Nations. .. just like ECOWAS.

NOw yorubas know that Nigeria is not one . Why did you support the civil war? . Hypocrites

sirugos: RIP. No igbo man was among them. We make use of our brain in a tight situations.

I dont agree.Igbo pepole no plenty for army after civil war that why no igbo man in the casualties

2nedo: Y are u dis dumb?U make money in another man's land and u still expect the revenue to go into ur ppls pocket.Teru ba pe nile,alajobi lonbu.You are only entitled to ur claim in ur igbo states which u leave undeveloped.

you re just jealous . what do u mean another mans land .Is not one nigeria u people fought for?

se.xkilza.phull:
Remove the fraudulent, fake Emeagwali from that your list, COMPLETELY! He might be respected or a hero according to your value system that encourages fraud, fakes, lies and dishonesty if he is "your son" or "our own" but 99.99% of every other Nigerian and foreigners do not share such silly "respect" for phoney, dishonest people! It might be even an attempt to perpetuate the lie / myth that people from a certain part of the country are "special" when they could even be no more ordinary than anyone else!

niggi4life: It is only in Nigeria i know that the civilian president wears a military uniform, Even none of the Civilian presidents of the United States wore a military uniform, i don't know where we always get our own ideologies from.

Because we re nigerians . we must not copy

ARES: Really? Nwanne lets come back and turn Abia, Imo, and the rest of the SE into paradise....

FYI, this ur comment is undiluted crap.... We are talking about the death of kids and u are building stupid imaginary dreams

Supported- Biafran

confusion247: Did anything work during the 38 years of disastrous rule of northern oligarchy that ruined Nigeria and gave birth to 10 million alamajiris and later boko haram terrorist? Did anything work during the 8 wasted years of OBASANJO that made corruption official in politics and gave birth to do or die politics in Nigeria today which later upgraded to god father gang man style of politics.
Nothing is working because people like you prefer ethnic politics and bigotry to standing by the truth. Mandela ruled for only five years and turned south Africa for good. Late ATTAH Mills of Ghana ruled for less than that and turned Ghana for GOOD. Can you say that about 8 YEARS of Obasanjo leadership in Nigeria?

Good talk . You re on point

camelus: NGF is Fascist,Authocratic,Tyrannical,Undemocratic etc reason being that Governors constituted the Association as Machinery for controlling the Presidency to their own advantage.
The major aim of NGF is to ensure that former or incumbent Governors emerge as the flag bearers of their respective Parties or say PDP this ensures perpetuation of these Governors from one Political Office to a higher one thereby having immunity for longer years so that they can't be Probed.
So my question remains y is the poor Masses interested in this NGF drama that do not serve Public interest.
Be it as it may as GEJ is almost breaking the NGF so that it will pave way for qualified Candidates who has never became Governor to have opportunity during Party primaries to emerge Presidential Candidates this will be equal opportunity for all.
Long live GEJ! Long Live Democracy !! Long live Nigeria !!!

Good talk

It is good that we loss . Kechi never lost since he took over . Now he knows that eagle is beatable then he will make amends.

payless: Our people need orientation and good education before we can achieve big things in Nigeria. If someone introduces a policy we don't understand, there is no need to discount and destroy that policy. We need to actually study what the policy is meant to achieve instead of just saying no without knowing the reason for saying no. Community policing is what we need in Nigeria in order to start solving problems. With community policing, Boko Haram problem would have been a thing of the past if some people in the government haven't castigated people who should have been of help to bringing these killers to justice.

I am a criminologist too and I know so much about criminal justice system. Imagine we are still finding it difficult to solve murder cases in Nigeria. How can a Minister for Justice be killed in a country without bringing the killers to justice?

You re the one that needs good education and orientation

payless: The truth hurts so bad and I just pointed it to their faces that not all Muslims are terrrists. I am not a Muslim but someone had to say it. I am ashamed of these miscreants branding all muslims as "terrorist". The Northerners are victims of Boko Haram too. The government should have gone there a year and half ago and kill these terrorists. It's a shame Jonathan went there too late. Imagine how many lives that would have been saved if he had authorized the JTF to go there long time ago.

Your still talking trash . i think u re a muslim . you gonna focus on the topic of discussion . give credit to whom credit is due . Your points are childish . Give credit to those youth who re using the opportunity well . It is obvious not all muslims are supporting Boko. Again u gona praise GEj ; he gave them enough time to repent as any wise civilian government ll do but Boko boys proved too tough and above the government . So hail Gej - he took a bold step despite strong opposition from the North and some people from SW.

This is common in many african countries . Nigerian government should do some thing . I have lived in African countries and this what happens to sucessful Nigerian Business men.

babyosisi: Well ,the gods have already probed OBJ and his family for generations to come
When OBJ and daughter look like this,what further probing does he need?
Ozodimgba and daughters

Laugh wan kill me here

gunuvi: Ebora owu fun ra e!!

Lol

Pataki: A president who has no shame. Nigerians - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!

The asinine being of a president has finally shown his card. I am really angry at Nigerians for how they were so gullible with the 2011 elections. How did this country degenerate to this level of having an utter foolish and corrupt man as president?!

A divisive president as GEJ is the ideal catalyst for the breaking up of Nigeria.

GEJ is not divisive . Power went to an usual region unexpected then some regions( North and SW) are not happy about that since it appears they have been dislodged from benefiting much from the government compared to the past . Peolpe should know that no condition is permanent . It has changed and it will take long before North or SW will smell presidency in Nigeria or otherwise nigeria will be history . APC will never ever win votes from SS and SE going by what the SW is doing to JEG administration.What is happening now is eye opener for SS - the region that lays the golden egg . They now know who is their friends . As far as South is concerned the SW is not an allince in the south . SW is as good as being in the North . The new allaince is Se,SS and North Central.

Billyonaire: In 2 Yrs, GEJ has performed more than OHBEEJAH did in 8yrs. It is the first time to print "Mid-Term" Success Stories of this nature. Let's be sincere, the critics of GEJ are the very ignorant or the very tribal nematodes of the Amala Enclaves who hate everything about the Igbos, Ijaws and the former Biafran Enclave. But I love the Amala Enclave, cos I came, I saw and I conquered, and I will take my winnings back to the Niger Delta and enjoy with my brothers.

GEJ 2011-2019 ...CARRY GO!!!

men u nailed it

abokine: Did I hear you say that Nigeria's major problem includes Islam? Well for your information with all the hate rate islam and muslims all over the world are facing yet the religion is the world's most growing religion.In the USA people keep poundring into islam same in europe and asia. So if you think islam is a problem then I say you better find a chair and seat to watch coz its not stopping until it dominates the world and no one is gonna force nobody to join. We muslims respect our religion so much that we do not seat and watch some one insulting it without protecting its dignity.

Yes Islam is the problem the world has been facing now it has infitrated Nigeria . Islam underdevelops people. Islam murders people. Islam does not want any body else or an infedel as a leader except a muslim . then tell me why you re not the problem? And for ur info , some people i know especially in abroad who are muslims are isolating themselves from Islam

Pataki: Things fall apart.


The only hope for PDP come 2015 is at the presidency. With the way things are going, even GEJ should start believing in the rise and fall of the titanic ship. For all those who believe that GEJ will be president come May 2015, please wake up and smell the coffee.....

Rubbish . GEJ all the way . GEJ is most marketable candidate now . He is capbale of wining SS , SE, NC some votes from SW and North . No other presidential candidiate is capable of this . No northern candidate will get vote from Ss and SE - this is the reality . Even if Amaechi or Rochas Okorocha contest as VP - no vote from SE and SS because those are regarded as saboteurs and are unpopular in both regions.

TRIBALISM IS THE WAY FORWARD !!!
