jenbost: I have been living in a fool paradise thinking we are brothers and sisters brought together not by God but by lugard. The truth is, Nigeria is a failed state. we have lost mutual co-existence. consequently, let us begin to talk about separation instead of engaging in passing insults. many may disagree but I believe it's time we declare biafra arewa and oduduwa as a seperate country

Iykopee: And u expect me an oyibo man not to align with my brodas in d east even though am a rivers man by state creation? U are deluding urself.. An ijaw man is not different from a fulani man in d north... We cant have one con3 with belligerent rascals.. When the chips are down, i will identify with my brodas in the east coz my ancestral home is there.

manny4life: Sea or no sea, how does see add any economic value to you?

There are many countries that are landlocked and are economically buoyant, so what is your point?

Billyonaire: We the people of Niger Delta in alliance with the great people of the land of half of a Yellow sun hereby decree and declare as follows:

Option 1: That 100 yrs amalgamation of 1914 is expiring and we seek to restore pre-1914 quo to advance our Destiny outside of marriage called Nigeria.

In the event that option 1 above is too painful to our 'wives' from the North and West (whom we feed eternally from our resources); we request as pre-condition for continued marriage, not 13%, not 30% but 90% of our natural resources, our wives can also keep their 90% while 10% is reserved for the Federal Government.

This is our pre-condition to remain in this parasitic marriage.

PapaBrowne: Suddenly, the grand proponents of SNC are shying away from it. Hypocrisy is a disease.
Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to state your cause. Shouldn't you be looking to take advantage of this SNC you have always craved for.

Its here right now for you to grab, but no you suddenly don't want it anymore. Hypocrisy.

They said Abiola must be immortalised. They screamed and shouted. Then UNILAG was renamed after Abiola and they said never ever.
They said Jonathan is not tough on Boko Haram. He got tough and declared state of Emergency, they said it is political and genocidal.
They said Lagos Ibadan expressway concession should be revoked. It was revoked and reawarded to Julius Berger, they said no no no.
They have screamed about Sovereign national conference since I was in Primary School, then Jonathan shows interest and they say no they dont want it anymore.


What kind of people are these?? This pathetic hatred is consuming basis senses out of your brains. Once again, shouldn't you at least seek to hijack and take advantage of the Sovereign National Conference that is about to be declared. Why are you suddenly scared? Or are you suddenly realizing that you are aligned with the North and the South South and the South East are super united as never before hence and SNC would not exactly pan out as you always wanted it? Seriously, be ashamed and very very ashamed of yourselves, the two of you.




About Abiola, June 12 2013 marked exactly 20 years since that monumental election was annulled. It passed like it never happened without any memorable celebration. The reason was simple. The hypocrisy of the cries about June 12 had been exposed with the rejection of Abiola in 2012. It was a historic rejection by folks who had used Abiola for 19 years to express thier natural opposition to anything that doesn't originate from them. By them, I don't refer to an entire tribe as most of the people of the south west are some of the most admirable people on the face of the planet. I refer to the loudmouthed tribalistic ones who usually run their mouths with a mountainous mix of ignorance and hypocrisy and many of them exist here on Nairaland.

Jorussia: in almost everywhere benin here its being terrible in the past one mnth,we hardly gets 4hrs power daily in my area,God bear me witness.u guys should nt over praise Gej,so that he shouldnt fail.our most stable power here was in 2008,under yaradua when we had power 4 3days,frequently.our power problem in 9ja,has been inability to maintain stable power 4 long.lets give him six months to observe,we should stop celebrating mediocrity,except u ave been bought over.

DaLover: Tambuwal or whatever your name is,
He who plays the piper must dictate the tune, no more no less.

bloggernaija: Only in nigeria will a common criminal even imagine himself as president.
BIL GATES .
a whizkid ,entrepreneur ,inventor and foremost philanthropist dare not despite the fact that he has name recognition and well respected.

Wily1Wily: Ijaw Citizen =Ahj haram, Musiwa, Becomerich, Obagelli, Ahj Uche, Ogbuafo, Jason123. He is a finished old Yoruba man living all his life in Canada,

Emmadani: Pple saying south-south would fight and kill demself dnt know whatup.Let nigeria divide and let d south-south govern their region,u will know whatsup.If nigeria divides,thr is notin like Niger delta region but d ss which includes (rivers,aks,cross-river,bayelsa,delta and edo).

Ikengawo: Yorubas have followed Boko Haram and Buhari's CPC who's thugs massacred youth corpers because they lost an election by which their candidate spoke only Hausa believing this his people are entitled to Nigeria as their personal property. They are now following Atiku, who is the first man in human history to become a billionaire working as an airport employee.

I can understand wanting to follow Fashola who is a great man and great transformer and leader. I can even understand wanting to follow Tinubu because he united your people. But Fashola hasn't been visceral towards GEJ. He has little bad to say about the federal government. He has requested state police, a stronger fight against corruption and decentralizing powers. That all makes perfect sense. Amaechi, Peter Obi, Oshiomole, Akpabio, Mimiko, Rochas, and Imoke have all asked for the same. you

But when you start asking FG to pay boko haram, for GEJ not to run in 2015 which is his right as a citizen, calling his wife a hippo, calling him a drunkard, cheering when igbos are killed, supporting the party of Yerima and the Abacha family (ANPP) voting yes for child marriage, supporting the party that massacred youth corpers (CPC), attempting the defame prominent igbos like Bianca by spreading rumors about their sex life, cheering for the death of Chinua Achebe who committed no crime against the yoruba other than saying Awolowo was advocating the advancement of yorubas over others (which you all know is true), cheering for efforts to frustrate igbo businessmen in Lagos, and joining ranks with Boko Haram/supplying weapons and your sons, it is easy for the rest of southern nigeria to realize that the only enemy they have in Nigeria is the 'SW', and that there's nothing objective about their 'opposition' other than the fact that it's based on and born in the advancement of hatred and envy.

Ikengawo: I would also like to add that this is the ancedotes of a few very loud internet savvy south westerners. If you go to GEJ's page, Yorubas are trooping to support him like anyone else. It's not an igbo convention there or a ijaw party, it's very broad based and national support.

GEJ will win in 2015, and history will remember him as the president that brought industry back to nigeria, aviation back to nigeria, power back to nigeria, international respect back to nigeria, working functional institutions back to nigeria, professionalism and technocrats back to government, and liberated the south from the grip of the north and their southwestern lap dogs.
