PMB on the other hand chose to make derogatory statement about the region that feeds the nation (5%), and furthermore said that his government would treat regions according the support he got. So that means that 5% treatment is what we get, for every 100% plans of the government. My dear that is absurd and doesn't define a quality of a good leader.
If you are aspiring to be a leader or president not everyone will support you, you will be hated by some elements, But what makes you a great leader is your ability to endure and carry everyone along irrespective of tribe, gender and race.

The bolded shows you have no idea what it takes to lead, and I don't mean that condescendingly. You don't bring "everyone" onboard, only loyalists and people who will serve/promote your interests. Its just life.

Yes, I think he should've worded his statements better, but I doubt "derogatory" is the word I would use to describe what he said. But thats the "Problem" with Buhari; he's straight to the point, doesn't sugarcoat, says what he means and means what he says. 99.9% Politicians all over the world would've been more diplomatic and politically correct, but their actions would've betrayed their true intentions.

He didn't say he was going to starve them, he said his supporters mattered more to him. But, tell me, what is his Government doing across Nigeria that they are not doing in the Region that harbors the so-called 5 percenters? Point to how the East is being neglected compared to the rest of the country.

sweerychick:
well if igbos hated him, all he could have done is to try and accommodate them in his government, at least GEJ was hated by mostly the northern part of the country, but he accommodated everybody. .

You will invite someone that has openly declared war on you and vowed to bring you down into your "war room" to see how you plan your strategies?

Thats not how life works, my dear. You alienate detractors until they've proven themselves allies.

Tell me, what happened to GEJ in the end?

Finally,..let me state it clearly for u 2 see,..incase u havnt been able 2 read d writ on the wall since,...we are in a recession now because of yorubas.

You are not in a recession because of Yorubas. You are in a recession because you failed to plan all these years with funds accrued from the sale of oil, failed to diversify and because you guys are a hopelessly and utterly corrupt bunch, thats why you're presently in the State you find yourselves.

mightyhazell:
u guys are unbelievable! Since wen does refusing to vote for a particular candidate translate to hating the person?so alld ppl u haven't voted are ppl u hate eh? Not ppl u think may not be qualified enuf to steer ur affairs right? And since wen too has it bcom a must 2 vote for sb because he chose ur kinsman as his running mate?? U see igbos don't play such nepotic politics. We aint like yorubas who voted in a fossil (witout an iota of clue as to governance),partly because he paired up wit ur kinsman.do u knw dat ojukwu also contested dat same election u referred to and 'lost woefully' even in anambra stste?
Even if igbos 'hate' buhari,so dat justifies his skewed appointents and federal shortchange of southeast right? So jonathan dat despite the glaring hatred from the north,still did more for them (evn more than his own region) was a fool den?


Finally,..let me state it clearly for u 2 see,..incase u havnt been able 2 read d writ on the wall since,...we are in a recession now because of yorubas. Yorubas voted in a fossil wit zero clue to com and lead us,just to spite igbos. because u felt dat igbos hate buhari and dat buhari will surely shortchange the igbos. That is the recession we are enjoying now.

See? You can't even comprehend simple things with your brain because of whats in your heart.

I didn't say you had to vote for him, I said why try to bring him down at every turn then sabotage the economy or praise people that do just to see him fail?

Very simple.

hydroking23:
I actually live in the States. Yes we have good roads, water, etc. But Black people are killed and abused every day by the police, there's lead in the water at schools, homes and hospitals and our politicians are corrupt. The corruption is really the point of my thread and not a comparison of which place is better.

The newly released wikileaks have shown that America is fantastically corrupt and they have no moral right to preach to other countries especially Nigeria about corruption.

Understand now??

What the hell is it with Nigerians and "I LIVE IN THE STATES" every time I mention the deplorable state of YOUR BIRTH COUNTRY?! YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN even if you got naturalized and granted citizenship.

Now try again.

And stop comparing the United States to Nigeria in terms of corruption. And like I told your last buddy the other day: IF YOU DONT LIKE IT OUT HERE, FEEL FREE TO RETURN TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

P.S: I noticed you deceitfully ignored the electricity part of my post, concentrated on roads and water (which you dont have but claim to) and replaced it with "etc"

One day you will learn how to stop deceiving yourselves.

Nkem4040:
Dr. Joe Abah or whatever your name is...you are shameless. I suspect he's been paid to tarnish Innoson image to prevent the call for federal government to use made in Nigeria cars only in order to grow the economy. Every car manufacturer be it BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, e.t.c; invariably, you will have hundreds of customers out of 200 million customers with overheating and other problems within days of use. That is why cars are recalled every yr by manufacturers!

You really compared this Innoson thing to iconic vehicles like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota?!

hydroking23:
The newly released wikileaks have shown that America is fantastically corrupt. Any foreign government that wants to criticize Nigeria for being corrupt should look at themselves before casting the first stone.

You don't have good roads, clean water, or electricity.

Most Americans usually live to be at least 80yrs old. From the day they were born, till the day they die they NEVER witness a single second of power outage and not once did they encounter a single cop openly and shamelessly soliciting for bribes.

You really want to compare American society to yours?! Don't even try it.

mightyhazell:
yea,no action of his wuld v changed anytin except taggin us 5% and promptly implementing it in evry aspect of our national life. Dat and other smart moves from him greatly endeared him to d eastern bloc d more. Hence the resultant boom and blossom in the economy we all enjoying 2day

You've hated him and worked against him since his foray into politics--- even when he chose your son as his vice; you back-stabbed him.

The economic crash was part of your doing too, you did and encouraged everything you could to sabotage it. Who are the most vociferous in the Avenger's pipeline bombing supporters' club?

Ok, then.

irunooboo:
The foolish Avengers will turn a blind eye to people like patience who are the true enemy of their region's development and instead blame the FG for their woes. (

Who do you think are the so-called Avengers? She is them. She is one of their sponsors.

Since its Nigeria, let me guess:

1 The Driver had no valid license.

2. The Driver did not take a written or driving test before be jumped behind the steering wheel.

3. The truck was not insured.

4. The truck was not inspected by the state before being put on the road.

5. The driver was probably intoxicated.

6. The Governor probably has no idea that 1-5 are offenses or how to go about preventing such in the future through policies AND ENFORCEMENT .

7 Some people will blame Buhari for the run down nature of their states not knowing that even the Governors don't know their job description.

8. Nigeria is f*cked.

PentiumProf:
Did i hear you say that south east lacks direction
Was it not yorubas that voted a goat as president
Now nigeria lacks direction thanks to yorubas
What do you expect from a tribe that thinks like a goat

If the Yorubas voted in the present President, did they also vote in the Governors in your States that I was talking about?

Greatzeus:
What perplexed me most is that, all these people still go to their various religious houses on Sundays and Fridays as the case may be. They pray sing,do all the stuff,come home from church,log in to Nairaland and start spewing their hatred and unfounded assumptions. How do you guys do it? Harbouring such contempt for your fellow humans,created by God how do you live with yourselves? If your Nairaland posts and other social media post were read to your church members, will you still be holding that position? If your Nairaland posts and other social media posts were read to your colleagues/ boss at work,will you still keep that job?
Well its a known fact that hypocrisy runs deep in the veins of an average religious person. Or is it because nobody knows your true identity? May God forgive us all.

Look around Nigeria, does it look to you like God resides there? The Muslims in the North are fake, intolerant, and fanatical, the Christians in the East are also fake, intolerant and fanatical. The way they practice their religion, do they seem to you like they truly believe in/fear God? They support crime and try to use God to hoodwink the populace. Im betting you were born when GEJ was using the Church as a means to indirectly destabilize the country during his tenure. At least the Muslims stone and chase away their thieving leaders from Prayer grounds, have you ever heard of a thieving Politician being chased away from the Church? Instead, sermons and services are held up when a Politician is running late. Actions like that are worse than terrorist bombs because the play into the psyche of the citizens and make them also want to acquire power by all means possible so that they too can be accorded the same "respect".

Most Nigerians are atheists, they just don't know it.

Bro that's d situation we find ourselves. We are not our brother's keeper in this country. The mind set of youth is soo messed up. Most of our cultures and traditions are affecting the way we run politics; very premitive. National orientation agency needs to rise up to their duties to reprogramme the brains and senses of our youths. As for our elders and leaders I doubt if they will ever change. For example using President Buhari for instance, he has a good mind to change the country but his inner most displeasure towards a section of this country and his unforgiving attitude is really complicating issues in Nigeria. If only he drops his pride and ego and have an all inclusive government I bet u, all these agitation of Biafra and Niger delta struggle will stop. An average Igbo just wants a comfortable life. The hate in our society is too much and as for me anybody believing these sets of Nigerian politicans is in for a long thing. I believe one day things will get better when we fully mature as a nation. I heard Italy was very bad those days but now that country is OK.

I agree with the rest of your statements, the bolded parts I have a problem with. I will explain.

President Buhari is a fine gentleman. He has his ways, yes, but there is no doubt that he has the best intention for ALL of Nigeria irrespective of tribe or cultural background. How do I know this? We worked closely with him in the past and his commitment to a Nigeria that "works" was never in doubt.

What do you call an "unforgiving attitude"? His refusal to bring the same people that have sought to destroy him throughout his foray into politics any closer than he ought to? You and I know that he either surrounds himself with allies this time or he gets destroyed a second time. The so-called agitation for Biafra---at this present time--- is a farce. It is a combination of ignorance, tribal hate and Nigerian politicians trying to cover their tracks of theft by destabilizing the Nation. For example, Mr.Fani-Kayode suddenly became a Biafran spokes person just to keep GEJ in power so he could continue stealing for himself and his orange teenage child-bride (and their new born baby). Mujahid Dokubo Asari was debriefed on his return from Libya (where he received terror[ist] training), and believe me when I tell you theres no love lost in his heart for the Ibo nation. Forget all the blustering and agitation he does now in the name of Biafra, to him its all an ends to a means. Besides, what, in reality is the Niger-Delta Region but an imaginary contraption founded [based] on Oil locations by greedy politicians as another means to divide an already divided people?

An average Ibo man wants a comfortable life, just like the average Hausa, Jukun, Tiv, Bini, Yoruba, Igala and other impoverished people all over Nigeria. What you want and what they want in life can't be that much different, just like what a thieving politician from Anambra or Enugu wants and what one from Zaria or Lagos wants are synonymous. It is You (ordinary Nigerians) v Them (criminals disguised as politicians) and until you guys come together---irrespective of creed, se*x and tribe---you will keep on running in circles and appropriating blame to the wrong quarters.

The whole of Western Europe, most of Europe, Australia, Japan and parts of Asia.

You want me to keep going?

You think your shitt hole of America is the shitt right? Lmao.... What can I say, continue living in the past, "old glory", while the likes of China kicks your country's ass... Lol

Ok, so move out of this shiitt hole and go back to your Paradise or better yet move to China.

What is holding you back? Oh you're gonna miss Burger King, is that it?

Like I said WE own this land. When are you going back to yours?

I understand your frustration because you're clueless and hopeless about your ancestral lineage but damn, are you this daft and idiotic to believe the SE are abominable?

Deceitful or just illiterate? I didn't call the SE abominable, I called YOU abominable? Aren't you an OSU outcast?

Anyway, when are you heading back to Africa?

9japride:
Youths of today lacks morales and proper upbringing due to bad characteristics in most parents. As of the issue of agitation for independent of their country, it's a natural thing and anybody is free to opt out from an unhealthy union. Why u won't find rich kids fighting for breakout from Nigeria is because majority of them are beneficiary from this wicked union. A country that care less for the zone that produces the wealth of the nation, a country that don't value patriotism, a country that practice bad belle politics and winner takes all system. Our system is so messed up Bro. Nothing works, at times u won't really blame them people are really frustrated. Compare this era to most of our parents who enjoyed life in the 1970s even in the 80's too, when things were easy and most people could afford to buy brand new vehicles, but what do we see these dsys; more of tokunbon vehicles are being sold. Me I am tired of complaining.

When I was posted to Nigeria over 30 years ago, there was optimism that the country was going to be so great that it would be a Super-Power by the 2000's. Fast forward and all I see are people that are more ignorant, hateful, deceitful, evil and devilish than one could ever imagine. They hate good and love bad.

The country is in such a sad state because the psyche of the people has been programmed to treat hard work with disdain and take pride in dishonesty.

What a shame.

manny4life:
How many times do I have to tell you that a slave and freeborn don't have anything in common? I've gone back to my home, at least more than once, question is: do you have a home to begin with let alone going back to it?.

Aren't you one of those South-Eastern abominables; the OSUs? So how the hell are you a freeborn if you're condemned in your own homeland because you come from a generation of slave outcasts?

And, ONCE is not enough to go back to your home. Why don't you go back one more time... AND STAY THERE PERMANENTLY? Why are you insistent on dying in place where you're not wanted?

Oh, thats right, thats what y'all do. Next we know you'll be telling us how you developed the United States.

manny4life:
Lmao... An attorney just said the "bolded"

HAHAHA 0 FOR 2

I'm guessing English is not your first language.

Oh, yeah, thats right....

Its okay to write me in your native language (if theres a written form of it) and I'll just ask someone to translate later or I'll see if I can use Google Translate.

P.S: Why are you stealing Sagamite's slang? Are you that special that you can't come up with one of your own?

manny4life:
Name one country that's not 2000 years behind you? Are you really this clueless or you're forming clueless... Which one is it? You think your shitt hole of America is the shitt right? Lmao.... What can I say, continue living in the past, "old glory", while the likes of China kicks your country's ass... Lol

Dude I put it to you that you're a slave, so please shut the fvck up when real people are talking. Lmao, at least I have "Africa" and Nigeria to go back to. How about you, are you the cursed tribe of Esau who doesn't know his root? Look at this fifth hand citizen forming "yankee citizen"... lmao. You're a shame and disgrace to whatever you stand for. If I were you, I wouldn't meddle into Nigerian or African affairs, because a lost tribe has nothing in common with a free one... At least I snuck in thru Mexico, how about you, how did you get in? Don't make me go all in.

And oh, btw, I don't hate America, but for the simple purpose of exchanging words with you, I will rub your shitt right on your face... Now fvck off but if you want more, you can ask for more.

So why don't you move to China then since you love them and hate us so much? How did I get in? WE own this land. EVERY OTHER PERSON that came here did so without our permission. "Cursed tribe of Esau"? Wouldn't that be people that look just like you= YOU&YOUR KIND? I always knew you had to be like one of those Nation of Islam crazies.

Anyway, you still didn't answer my question: WHEN ARE YOU RETURNING TO AFRICA IF YOU HATE US SO MUCH?

manny4life:
Look at this retarded bunkum ... Yes I am back and I will definitely give you the fire you're looking for. Coming from a slave who doesn't know how when to use "unintelligence", so much for an "attorney"... Imagine this mofo looking for his root back home is telling a pure naija bred citizen when he's returning home... A retarded fvcktard like you should know when to bow out. You shouldn't be on NL, you're not welcome here. Me, following you around?... Lmao, lele... When they say human should raise their hands, "second hand" wants to raise his as well... Taa get out.

The bolded shows how unintelligent you truly are.

I asked a simple question: WHEN ARE YOU GOING BACK TO YOUR HOME?

If America spent money on education, her people will be advanced.

How do you plan on being great when millions of students graduating out of college have a minimum of $20k in student loan debt ballooning at more than 4% annual interest rate?

"If America spent money on education, her people will be advanced."

Because you can name one country on your whole continent thats not at least 2000 years behind us in terms of development? At least we've got loans to give out to our students what do you have to give yours? Before you snuck in here (probably through Mexico), did you ever imagine that a Government could finance your education or that it would be uninterrupted without teacher strikes and student riots occurring every two weeks?

If America is so bad why don't you then go back to Africa?

At times I wonder how we became so nice that we allowed all manners of ill-bred and ungrateful things come into this country only for them to turn around and speak bad of us.

manny4life:
Bro don't waste your time with this dude.

You're back, Mr.Know-it-all. When I get on your case now, Young Homosex*ual, you'll start screaming deceitfully that I attacked first. Why are you always following me around?

By the way, when are you returning to Africa? Your people are in dire need of your unintelligence.

GMBuhari:
Jesu Oluwa o



This classic case of greed shows how they can't get enough, they just need to include drivers, housemaids, janitors, gardners virtually anyone they can control.

In their mindless greed, thieving spree, they don't even trust people they used their names to be signatories to the account, which would have been harder for EFCC to trace because cheques or cards would not be allowed, just online banking

Who'd have thunk breeze will blow their yansh wide open?


Meanwhile these are people some hungry, senseless youths are defending offline and online


Shame after glory , grace to grass won't be our portion IJN



But from the depth of my heart, I say Shame on BadLuck Egbere Jonathan, Pathetic Patience Jonathan and anyone who ever glorified them

Very greedy and foolish woman. Give or take, Intelligence sources allege she's stole worth close to $2Billion; why couldn't she deny ownership of this $34m? Thats what happens when idiocy governs the part of your brain thats reserved for critical thinking. She just gave President Buhari the opening his Government needed all along. I hope they don't bungle it by backing off when the usual screams and cries start from the criminal population from her side of the country.

Stingman:
You got it....

Why not wait for the 10 years...to see how it will benefit the youths...before playing to the gallery?

Please tell us how your people sent from Ekiti to the East and INNOSON to learn trade...have left the people who train them?

Dream on dreamer.

I doubt you comprehend when you read. Go back and read what I wrote up there again.

DelGardo:
It is hard to understand why Buhari is unwilling to probe and prosecute Jonathan and PEJ to send a clear message to his fellow yam eaters.

The merciful stand of this administration on that rotten couple has not won them new friends, neither has it impressed the destructive wailers.

So what's the point? I say do the right thing and bring them to justice.

He can't/couldn't for a couple of reasons:

1.He agreed with Sec.John Kerry (U.S GOVT) not to prosecute GEJ and a few others if they fully co-operated and returned every penny stolen. Former President Jonathan (and his crew), as we all know, has violated the terms of this agreement severally so its only a matter of time before he's behind bars.

2 The South East will kick, scream, and shout if GEJ is arrested.

3.The charges have to be water tight and his guilt not be in doubt. Meaning, without convicting minions like Olisah Methuh, Mr.Fani-Kayode and a host of others--- and sentencing them to long Jail terms to serve as a deterrent to future Treasury pilferers---- he cannot go after the Don Dada.

However, I think semi-literate Mrs. Patience Jonathan, taking all that into consideration has miscalculated by assuming she has absolute immunity thats why she had the cojones to demand for the money back.

I think she just unknowingly dug her and her husband's grave.

haha.... Filth is everywhere..filth just get levels. Funny enough, the 2nd place i saw a bed bug in my life was on a train in Canada.
It was crawling on the black winter coat of a guy sat opposite me.



Roaches and bugs. The two insects i hate most in this world. eeeew. I would rather sleep in a mosquito infested room than those former two.

Nigeria's filth, individual lack of proper hygiene, and general public dirtiness is on a whole different level.

And, Bed Bugs are not caused by "filth", per se. For example, say the OP visits your home right after coming from his trip and deposits some of those bugs in your couch, will that now make you dirty person? There was a time, right here in D.C, that we had alerts warning us of bed bug infestation in major hotels. In fact, this alert was extended to other major cities--- they "travel", because people carry them around.

Like someone said, good luck to the OP getting rid of them from his home because he's in major trouble, he just doesn't know it yet.

A set of people are holding a summit on how their youths could grow their entrepreneurial skills and gain employment and several misfits are going into spells of epilepsy...I don't see how this is an issue...other regions can do whatever and nobody would care...I can't believe this...Many people are truly sick in this country...

You still don't get it....

Come back in 10 years and tell us how this benefited you or your people. Instead of playing to the gallery, y'all better buckle up before the rest of the world leaves you even further behind.

Israeli businessmen and investors for the first time in history is about to storm the South East of Nigeria in a business investor’s forum meant to seek opportunities for investment in the zone. The investment summit powered by Diamond Youth Initiative is being facilitated by powerful investment minded senior citizens of the South East as means of ending the spate of unemployment, joblessness and restiveness in the region, through partnership with Israeli businessmen.


He listed some prominent businessmen among whom are Ambassador Itshak Oren,former Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria and Benin Reublic, Colonel Yigal Barzilay, Mr Drio Ator, Mr Ilan Shekel, Mr Assaf Mr Diamant Dolev, Dr Kaspi Yoram, Dr David Day who will be interfacing with South East businesses.
.

The Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress, Rev Obinna Akukwe , in his response, described Amb Uchechukwu Ekpere Paul as a man of vision whose initiative can make South East the Japan of Africa. He also commended the efforts of Professor Chinedu Nebo, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife and other key Igbo leaders who are linking up the Israelis with the South East on a purely economic purpose.

The bolded made me spit out my drink in laughter. The South East is led by clowns, at best, and ignoramuses, at worst. They need leadership and social orientation asap. Always big talk, no action, and mediocrity galore.


P.S: Its Ms Diana Dolev and Dr Yoram's first name is CASPI with a "C" not "K". And does Mr Assaf have a first name?
They couldn't even get the names or genders right.

South East Nigeria really likes deceiving itself. Thats clearly the most directionless Region in Nigeria.

Whats with Nigerians and bad hygiene? Always filthy, filthy, filthy.
