UnchangeableGod:Just stick to the issue at hand, which is about the content and intent of the president's (97% vs 5%) speech. Here is the transcript of the speech; and if you are a good student of English Comprehension; then lets see how you or anyone can twist what he said and give it an entirely opposite meaning - just be honest for once. Below is the text of the president’s statement in question. The ones in bold is the part that was deliberately left out. “I hope you have a copy of the election results. Literally constituencies, for example, that gave me 97 per cent, cannot in all honesty be treated, on some issues, [the same way as] some constituencies that gave me five per cent. I think these are political realities. While certainly there will be justice for everybody; everybody will enjoy their constitutional rights, where the party in constituencies that by either sheer hard work made sure they got their people [to vote] and ensure their votes count, they must feel that the government has appreciated the effort they put in putting the government in place. I think this is really fair. [But] By the constitution, no state can be excluded from government, so there is no way even if I were to show gratitude to those constituencies that voted heavily for me against those that didn’t even vote for me, they have the protection of the government. And I have made an undertaking that I belong to everybody, I belong to no body. If I come clearly and marginalise a certain group because they didn’t vote for me then I have already contradicted myself and I am sure people will be quick to pick that against me.” — Here is also the video clip for those who want hear directly from the horse's mouth and not rely on the above transcript. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm_VEkxyiKw Now lets analyse the entire speech: you will notice that the first part containing the 97% vs 5% merely lays the foundation concerning the expected political realities and norms of rewarding those who voted for you - i.e. that was what usually happens after such victory. The middle part of his speech allayed the fears of anyone with such anticipation by referring the protection of the constitution. The final and concluding part of his speech clearly spelt out his own intention on what he intended to do - which was NOT TO MARGINALISE ANYBODY by referring to his earlier quote of belonging to nobody and belonging to everybody. How anyone could be so pathetically dumb to miss or misinterpret his clear message is amazingly shocking to say the least. |
UnchangeableGod:Oga, if you really can read and understand English very well as you implied; then you should have understood why I challenged anyone to prove that Buhari meant he would discriminate against any section of the country in his famous 97% vs 5% speech. That notion was in fact an absolute big lie, a deliberate fabrication and misrepresentation of the president by his detractors. Anyone with the patience to listen/read the entire speech/transcript (from A - Z) would easily come to the conclusion that his enemies merely took out only the first part of his speech containing the 97% and 5% and essentially twisted and quoted it out of context to give it the opposite meaning; while completely leaving out the middle and concluding part containing the president's true intended message. It is a pity that many ppl are far too lazy to listen and judge the entire speech for themselves but instead blindly relying on this fat lie and propaganda against the president. It is also a pity that the mainstream southern owned media (who should have known better) are also shamelessly part and parcel of this propaganda. It is even more pitiful that the president's image makers have so far not done sufficiently enough to debunk this damaging myth and therefore abort its malicious propagation. Like I said before; I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. |
steppins:Yes, agreed the politicians including Kanu (the scammer) are all after lining their own pockets (we know how Igbos love money); that is why they are now spoiling to fight each other over how much they make out of the unfolding SE political terrain - just watch out for the Nollywood movie "IPOB and hired political thugs slugging it out on the streets of Anambra" coming out soon. |

Dog eat dog; watch as the in-house battle begin. |
How many cases of rape, especially paedophilia will we have to witness from that side of the country? |
eezeribe:More like a hungry Cannibal looking for a pound of human flesh. |
ogbada33:Isn't that marginalisation - representing another state that isn't yours? |
cstr1000:No need to contest, our women are too dignified to debase themselves that way; after all Kanu has established that 99.9% of your ladies are prostitutes - so the roll fits them very well. |
malware:If it had happened in the north; the e-rats would have descended on the entire region, tribes and major religion in an orgy of condemnation along with Buhari and the NYSC scheme. |
Hmmmm Chinenye Okonkwo representing Zamfara, one of the core Hausa Fulani Sharia states in the north - LOl, Nnamdi Kanu must hear this. |
chiddyj:Stop being sarcastic and face the facts; like I said I challenge anyone to prove that in the 97% and 5% statement Buhari meant to discriminate against any section; especially as the video clips and transcripts of the speech are still available for close public examination. In fact Buhari said quite the opposite but being mischievously quoted out of context to damage his reputation. Those behind this mischief chose to use the only the opening part of his speech containing the the infamous 97% and 5% and dishonestly leaving out the middle and the concluding part, in which he clearly said he wouldn't because it was against the constitution and would risk impeachment and moreover as further clarification on this point, he repeated part of his earlier quote of belonging to nobody and to everybody. Unfortunately, his detractors mischievously and deliberately chose to be poor teachers and students of basic English Comprehension - even more unfortunate is the southern own media which chose to partake in this shameless misinformation at the expense of professionalism and neutrality.. |
What a hateful bunch, truly occupying themselves with their favourite activity - spreading more hate and misinformation. See how they dug up an old incident, rearranged the story to elicit the highest emotional response against their main focus of hate and wrath - PMB for winning the elections. What were the circumstances surrounding the killings: what caused it, who carried it out and how could an incident carried out in far away Bauchi be linked to Buhari is another thing that most of the reports and those propagating it have always evaded - except to resort to innuendos. What these hate merchants keep forgetting is that the govt in power at the time would have welcomed any reason to have arrested Buhari, as the then head of the opposition; in fact it did, it set up a committee which thoroughly investigated the matter and completely exonerated Buhari from any complicity or culpability. Unfortunately, his detractors are aware that their are many gullible ppl; many among them also predisposed to hating the president and are therefore exploiting this opportunity to disparage the president. Sadly, the mainstream media seem to be aiding and abetting these ppl in propagating such falsehood e.g. the Dog and the Baboon and lately the 97% and 5% statements are good examples of how the president is being deliberately misquoted and misrepresented. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise |
SHTFguy:

LOL, only Hausa Fulani make up the Nigerian police force; Igbo police don't like money, they don't collect bribe - Wow! what unique brilliant logic from the Pigdiot to his gullible followers. BTW, what catastrophic consequences could befall on a member for being expelled from IPOB? - absolute zilch, nothing but just chest beating empty threats. |
Muafrika2:Quite right, Tilapia can't live more than a few minutes out of water; they either must have been washed over from a nearby fish farm/river/pond or in extraordinary circumstances by freak weather such as rain (yes, fish rain - it happens). |
Fucking lying Pigdiots spreading lies manufactured in the back streets of Aba to stoke up more hatred. |
sotall:LOL
|
OjukwuWarBird:Go on keep exposing your ignorance and stupidity. |
Jolar101:LOL, need I say more?
|
OjukwuWarBird:You are simply a walking encyclopaedia of ignorance and bigotry - I feel sorry for you. |
k9ine:Its not a joking matter; I am disappointed with how Christians have been watering their values and turning their religion to being man-made, through such pronouncements by their supposed men of God. It would appear that the Catholics seem to be having a greater tolerance for homosexuality (against established doctrine) - even the Pope was recently quoted as saying that Christians should apologise to gays - can you believe that! That was the reason for my comment. |
Antipob777:The onus is on you now to prove otherwise - feel free to quote from any part of their speech to substantiate your point. |
obikirinoni:Yes indeed, go back to smoking your Abakaliki weed. |
Jolar101:LOL, see as this mumu wan lie and cover up say na typo - oya tell us how many times you committed the same typo mistake, even after your many attempted corrections? They say lightening strikes in the same place but once; else it ceases to be a coincidence - in your case lightening seemed to have struck in the same place more than once. |
OjukwuWarBird:Is Nigeria Yugoslavia? Do you really know the implication of breaking your oath? - Buhari swore with the Holy Quran. My friend, Igbos don't need a referendum; if they are truly serious they can simply waka comot; but we all know that nobody benefits more than them from One Nigria - they are simply hypocritcal noise makers. |
pyyxxaro:LOL, his next generation lives on. |
I am not surprised at all; Christians are nowadays willing to compromise their doctrine in exchange for convenience; even their Bible is not free from tampering - after all, a growing number of their priests and pastors are turning out gay. If this trend should continue, one of these days Catholics may be asked to commence taking their holy communion through the anus. |
nonut:99.9% Olosho. |
Typical flat heads: no respect not even for their elders, arrogant and resentful with no sense of compromise, full of hate and foolish pride - see where all that got them, both father and son. |
obikirinoni:Is the man a credible authority? - a man openly caught pants down trying to plant fake evidence linking Buhari or was it APC to Boko Haram? If Reno was your source then you must be joking. |
zenmaster:See as e dey flash im teeth like a Cannibal ready chop human being. |
