South Africans and some others like them in nigeria (like HausaFulanis who seize upon any excuse to kill their fellow countrymen) are reasons why Africa might forever remain primitive. |
abduljabbar4:That's what I am saying. The terror attitude is inherent. So stop blaming people who say you're all terrorists. |
sweetjenny305:Your pic self is over tempting. I already did the geography of your thing from here. Your guy dey enjoy. |
nnamokenna:Lol Finish ke, no way. Make una reach 12 for house na six months e go take finish. |
If we are to be honest then there is no sense in this. What is there to celebrate? What has buhari done that he is celebrating? What would then happen when buhari does achieve something. Buhari has won the presidential election, that's true but has he done anything for nigerians worthy of abacha's One million man match? Or any sort of celebrations for that matter? NO! This is sheer senselessness. Don't quote me if you're a party supporter. Because you have no more sense to reason with. But feel free to quote me if you're a non partisan concerned nigerian. Let's reason this without party or personality prejudice. |
CHM11:[quote author=CHM11 post=32934291 I took my time going through your vituperations and found nothing but bitterness. I have no idea why you're bitter. It could be anything. But whatever it is, I advise you channel the bitterness into something productive. Being bitter about Igbos will rather kill than save you. I once harbored an urhobo friend for years and I can say he wasn't like you. Now on the issue of Biafra I tried to find and see how it really concerned or affected you but I could not make that connection. Because no matter how Biafra boundaries went it will never include the urhobo tribe. So why are you bitter? There are Igbos outside the five south eastern states. And when the time comes for boundary demarcation these people will decide their own fate. It is none of our business wherever they choose to be. In fact, we Ndigbo don't really care about how big or small or country will eventual be. All that we desire is a country that we can proudly call our own. And that is BIAFRA. The people of south Sudan separated and went away from the main Sudan. And shortly after they started fighting but I can tell you that they yet prefer that very south Sudan they're fighting than going back to the bigger Sudan. Having your own country is like have your own house. There's nothing compared to the freedom and progress that come with being on your own. On the other hand too I think I could almost feel where your bitterness is coming from. It is either because you have a feeling that your urhobo tribe will always be subject to a superior tribe for eternity. And thus you would rather that we all stay together than we leaving and leaving your people at the mercy of the bigger tribes. Another reason could also be of course that you so love the Igbo tribe and would not want them to go, but rather than come openly to plead with them to stay and jettison their Biafra dream, you decided to throw vitriolic tripe at us. Or lastly you could just be one of those fellows who could not stomach the ingenuity of the Igbo man, and are simply bitter to death. Having said that, I hope you would learn a thing or two. As for me, I want to thank God who made me Igbo. And should there be another life I pray he make me even more Igbo. That alone has always been my source of joy and a radiating confidence. |

abduljabbar4:You're a qualified terrorist. That's the exact attitude needed to blow up people. So stop wondering why people believe that half the Muslim population are terrorists covertly overtly or prospective. |
abduljabbar4:Lack of tolerance is what is killing Islam. You're already sparing for war and calling another man coward because he expressed his opinion. That's exactly what's killing Islam. If you have to be the one to fight for your 'God' then your god is simply useless, and a creation of man. But if on the other hand your God is the maker of heaven and earth, the beginning and the end, the Almighty, then who the Bleep are you to fight for God? |
holatin:But the truth of the matter is that muslims are bombing everyone and everything around the world. So I guess there has to be something inherently wrong with either the religion or the people practicing it or both. |
When I pointed out the other day that HausaFulanis are worst Animals than the AmaZulu. A lot of the animals from that animal kingdom came attacking me but that did not even pain me what pained was for some miserable yorubas to come and be attacking me on behalf of their slavemasters. I hate all those who take life but I hate those who turned blind eye too. |
ShowYourCertificate:The thing is that when a man is not in power he sees government activities from the perspective of a football spectator. But the moment he is in power or about to like in the case of buhari he begins to see government actions from the perspective of a player in the field of football. You know to the football spectator every ball near the goal is supposed to be a goal but of course the players themselves know its always a fifty fifty chance. |
Dannyset:For some of you suffering from pathological paranoia, anything anyone says that's not praise singing buhari is translated to hate. That's really pathetic. |
The bigger their bag the bigger their problem baggage. |
ShowYourCertificate:Like he'd updated his vocabularies? |

The Igbo agenda in Buhari administration, by Pro. ABC Nwosu on April 19, 2015 at 12:29 am in Politics By Olalekan Bilesanmi Prof. ABC Nwosu was Political Adviser to the President and later Minister of Health under the Obasanjo administration. In this interview, Nwosu speaks on the just concluded general elections, the performance of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the polls and the fate of the Igbo under the incoming administration of Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd). Prof ABC Nwosu You were strategic in the mobilization for your party, the PDP. With the way the elections went, what would you pin-point as the most singular reason why your party lost the elections? The election is being analysed by a core central PDP group – those who are committed to PDP. I look back to the advertisement in 1998 in the national dailies that announced the coming into being of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. And I saw my name there, and I saw the names of these other people there too. We are the core PDP. We have been there all through and we are still there; we will never leave. There are three things that are coming to us. Three things coming to you like what? The PDP made many mistakes that could have been avoided. But, these mistakes have been there from day one in 1998. And the main mistake was that of lack of transparent primaries and internal democracy. The second being lack of designing of effective mode of funding of the party that would guarantee internal democracy – the will of the people. The third and, perhaps, the most important is that the PDP was a party created with a soul – the manifesto. These three things may make sense if, particularly, the last one had been adhered to fully? Many of the people who flooded the party because the party was a winning party and the party was even more intent on becoming a mega party, came in and didn’t even know the manifesto. The manifesto had in it key things like equity which was what made it possible to push for power-shift. It was that equity that said you must have democratic dividends, that is, the people must have something in return for their support of the party through good governance. Key people in developing this soul left, or were chased out, or were frustrated. Some, like Chief S.B Awoniyi, Dr. Chuba Okadigbo are dead. Some have left the party. You can see that some former chairmen have even left the party for APC. So, this is the analysis we are now looking at. As Chinua Achebe wrote, and I quote: “to know from where the water started to enter the pumpkin”, so that we can then come to rebuild. The analysis is with an intention to rebuild and rebound because a strong PDP, a rebounding PDP, an opposition PDP, is good for Nigeria. How does the party hope to engage that transition of a ruling behemoth to an opposition party? I come from a town that has produced most of the transporters in Nigeria. In my family alone, we have Ekene Dili Chukwu, Izu Chukwu, Chidi Ebere. And they write on their vehicles: “The down fall of a man is not the end of his life”. It is good in the recovery of the soul of PDP. There is also the saying that it is not falling that is the problem, it is getting up each time you fall. And there is a firm resolve in many of us who formed the PDP, not for the Jollof- rice that we want to eat, but to give Nigeria a platform that should guarantee good governance and democracy dividends for the governed. Many of us are still there, from across the country. And we are determined, resolved that we would not be found leaving the PDP and that we would rebuild. This, many of us felt, many years back, five to six years back, when we formed the PDP Reform Group. I was key note speaker at the summit of the group. We got suspended and expelled from the party. And then the president ordered that we be recalled. Many of us are there. Two have become governors on the platform of the APC. Those ones I respect because they found something wrong with the PDP. Those people who are in PDP today, if APC wins it tomorrow, they jump at it. Labour party wins it the next day, they follow immediately. Those, for us, are good riddance. There is something that some of us felt and still feel, regarding the PVC and the Card Reader. From the way the PVCs were distributed and the way the voter register was remoulded, it appears as if there was a deliberate attempt to ensure a preponderance of voters in the north than the south. A zone like North West, without rejudice to its seven states in the desert, has 17.5m voting population which far outstrips what you have in the South-South and South- East combined, and, yet, looking at population distribution across the world, coastal areas are always more populated than desert land. Would you say something was wrong with the way INEC went about it all. I said in my last outing concerning Professor Jega and it was clear. I didn’t join those congratulating Jega. I was clear that Jega did a botched job. And that if the elections were held when he proposed that he was ready, it would have been a disaster for this country. For him to have claimed that he was ready when he knew, between him and his God that he was not, he would have plunged this country into a crisis of unimaginable proportions. But you know what? What? The elections have come and gone. General Buhari has received a general mandate. I am in complete support of the post election behaviour of President Goodluck Jonathan. I think Nigeria has had peace and there is nothing like post election violence anymore. In my life, I have never been involved in nit-picking. If I were to be involved in knit-picking, it is intriguing that the old Eastern Nigeria did not vote. How do you mean? They didn’t vote for the president elect. They completely excluded themselves from the mandate. If I were involved in knit-picking, I would wonder how it was that PDP people are accepting defeat and congratulating the APC winners and say let us go on with governance. But funny enough and to tell Nigerian the type of mentality of the APC leaders, any where PDP won, the APC is always showing itself as terrible losers. The margin of votes in Rivers State didn’t near that of Kano, or Kaduna or Katsina, and yet, the Vice President in Kaduna, said congratulations. But the people in Akwa Ibom, Anambra, are complaining. I would urge everybody to stop the politicking, it is over. The electioneering is over. General Buhari has received a mandate that enables him to form a government. He does not need a government of National Unity. But President Jonathan was a major proponent of a Government of National Unity? Anybody who jumps into the Buhari administration from PDP for a ministerial or any appointment is a cheap opportunistic politician. Buhari should just go ahead and form his government that would deliver good governance. And it is the duty of every Nigerian to hold back, get back to his inner self and his party and see how we can support him across board. If the President-elect Buhari introduces any policy that is good for Nigeria, he should be supported, across party line, that is the way we can progress. And speaking of that, what can make Nigeria progress are those decisions reached at the National Conference. What are those? True and fiscal federalism, special funds for development of our mineral resources, sovereign wealth fund. Not every time you go at the end of the month to share the crude oil money until it is a zero sum account. These, I think, are the things we should start telling the president-elect that will be good for Nigeria. And if he introduces those policies including even a new constitution that is good for Nigeria that guarantees equity, development, there is no reason why we should not support him for the benefit of all Nigerians. On the issue of government of national unity, this syndrome of winners take all has its own demerits? President Jonathan has already said it all. You form a government of national unity only when you don’t have a strong mandate like Shagari in 1979. You saw the situation when Shagari won and the 12 2/3 that required a government of national unity. It was good for Nigeria. But you also saw quickly how the NPP-NPN accord broke down. That was the only civilian regime we had. When President Obasanjo came as a civilian, it was not a mandate as clear as this. We were just coming out of military rule. But I think the government of national unity contributed to our problems in the PDP as a party. Really! How? In the process of that, key persons were from AD and I think the intention was also to diminish the opposition. That was not good for Nigeria. With benefit of hindsight, it also led to bloating up of the Federal Executive Council, FEC. The constitution says 36 ministers, one from each state, so, whether you vote for him or not, you are already having government of national unity. But then we went ahead and started taking ministers from zones, so instead of having 36, we had 42. That increased the cost of governance enormously; and it created a behemoth called the PDP which in time had to implode. And it has imploded. A new reformed PDP when it rebounds will be worried about things like the cost of governance. You are a strong voice and a strategic one at that from the South-East. In the context of national politics, how would you situate the Igbo and the outcome of this elections? Igbo intellectuals, politicians and strategic thinkers are meeting, quietly. I am involved in some of the meetings. There are four things that we have agreed to do. That the Igbo vote represents, as one of us put it, Igbo fears and the Igbo hopes for Nigeria. And everybody is now coming out united. Therefore, there is absolutely no regret in the way the Igbo voted. The second thing agreed upon, for want of better word, that it would be inelegant for the Igbo to be trying to jump into this bandwagon of congratulations and crossing over and seeking to say what can you give, don’t forget us, like a governor told a governor elect. You are not important we are talking about the nation. The Igbo have made up their minds that what they want in Nigeria is good governance. They had congratulated themselves that they have lived under non Igbo presidency for this long. Whether the president was from the North, West or South-South, the Igbo made a living and so what is there is that we just want good governance. The third point is that the constitution already guarantees that the Igbo cannot be excluded because of several provisions; provision that each state must produce a minister; the second guarantee is the provision of Federal Character in everything. So, all we want is peace and good governance that are conducive to groups actualizing their potentials. The final one is that the Igbo have said what is really their interest in Nigeria and core interest: Is it for Nigeria to break up? The answer is no. Is to dominate other Nigerians? The answer is no. Then they have come to the realization that it is to live in peace with other Nigerians but exercising their full citizenship rights which entitles them to contest for presidency, contest elections where they live and work and contribute, because they have a basic philosophy in Igboland which is that wherever an Igbo lives is his home. He should make it his home, contribute to its development, welfare and wellbeing. So, all these are being aggregated and you will find that a new Igbo will emerge. But I am telling you not to expect the Igbo to come out soon. But whenever they finish, they will come out and nobody should be afraid of them. Their definitions and strategies are good for Nigeria but they believe that they should be given a chance to govern. Politics and politicking are over. The president elect should be sworn in, he should be given time to unveil his policies, he should be given time for his policies to take root. They will not interfere, impede or criticise beyond the normal. There will be nothing personal about it all. There are some fringe Igbos who are saying you should not have cast your votes in one basket. Those are the market masters in politics so that if ‘is’ does not go, ‘was’ will go. That is how we say it in Igbo. So, you cast your vote for ‘is’ or ‘was’, so that if it ‘is’, you get, if it ‘was’, you get. They don’t look at it that ‘is’ is the correct grammar and therefore, we will cast out votes. They are there in every group.

If others will agree with me then we should all converge on shoprite and stop them from doing business for just one day. We don't have to loot like the south Africans do but just block their entrance, no going in no coming out. |
abduljabbar4:The point is that you HausaFulanis are pure animals that can't be raised to the status of human beings except by the yorubas who have consistently kept us in a union with barbarians. But God is paying you back in your own very coins. The murderous religion that you foools are practicing will eventually annihilate you all. How is your north now? Are your emirs not been murdered in company of their entire family? Now you animals will have to watch your backs even in your damned yoga class which you called mosque. That is your reward and its coming in hundred folds. The Zulus like I said are a better fellow than HausaFulanis because they kill not their country men but those of other countries. But you animals on the other hand are a curse unto yourselves and your damnation is here already. |
