Kilishihunter: Mazi izu you dey find who go put for trouble Well seeing the way ref and var calls were inconsistent towards us last week, A more lenient and fair referee will be helpful seeing as inter might still park the bus again so if lewy gets some reasonable tug or push we'll get our rightful spot kicks and also cards too seeing as calhanoglu escaped a red card last week
Kilishihunter: This one they released the referees lineup early, it's like UEFA has finally bowed to pressure so I'm expecting favourable calls from em, We gats to take advantage of it especially lewandoski seeing as his countrymen are the main men in charge
[color=royalblue]How will he take advantage of it?[/color]
chrisooblog: Well results speak for themselves. Since Sunday Igboho's exile SW has enjoyed relative peace.
It goes beyond condemnation but controlling the narrative. If after condemnation sit-at-homes are still being observed then what is the point? How can criminals openly defy constituted government every monday and every will just be watching? Anyway I have said my own.
[color=royalblue]At least we have moved from condemnation, which you suggested to controlling the narrative.
So, if criminals openly defy a constituted government, who is responsible to put that in order? The people, or the government? [/color]
chrisooblog: So just because it's one link doesn't make it half-truth? ok I hear you.
When Sunday Igboho was almost arrested by the DSS before he fled have you seen any Yoruba politician complain about it or even protest? Heck even Seyi Makinde that is opposition just unlooked the matter once Sunday ran away to Benin. To answer your question directly yes the Ooni of Ife cautioned Igboho.
chrisooblog: Uzodinma after one of those attacks said it wasn't IPOB but 'politicians from outside the state'
Soludo called IPOB members 'freedom fighters' even went to visit Nnamdi Kanu in DSS detention. What did all this pandering earn him? more violence and sit-at-home.
Boko Haram started out as a local insurgency in Borno state but failure to condemn them by local Borno elders and politicians allowed it to fester and become the monster it is today.
If politicians don't come out to denounce them completely at least the violent ones they could cause a tribal war the consequence of which we can't handle.
Look at the Sunday Igboho situation Yoruba elders were careful not to allow him control the narrative because his tactics would ultimately cause more harm and death.
Responsible leaders in the SE should be allowed to control the narrative and not allow the violent insurgents to whip up sentiments that will ultimately do the SE no good.
[color=royalblue]So just one link of another tribe makes it half-truth?
Can you show me links of Yoruba politicians denouncing Sunday Igboho?
In your words, "Responsible Yoruba Leaders"[/color]
chrisooblog: Ultimately PMB deserves to be blamed for not being decisive in dealing with the 'unkown gunmen threat' however you can't ignore the fact that for some reason many Igbo politicians are unwilling to denounce the terrorists but use flowery or mild words to describe them. From Uzodinma to Soludo to Ezekwesieli to Peter Obi they always dance round the issue.
When Army now deploys accusations of attempted genocide ring the air.
Now the IPOB scourge has become a full blown monster. If FG should go hard bombing and attacking IPOB hideouts with consequent collateral damage everyone will be up in arms that 'fulani' want to destroy the SE.
Political leaders in the SE can seriously help the FG by openly denouncing the violent insurgents in their midst and declare illegal this monday sit at home nonsense. So that the few trouble makers in their midst can be dealt with leaving only genuine agitators to lawfully continue to fight their cause.
However if SE politicians continue to play the ostrich people rightly or wrongfully will come to the conclusion that they are tacitly supporting IPOB. Remember how Boko Haram started elders and some politicians were denouncing GEJ for using full force against them shouting 'genocide, human rights abuse' thinking by blackmailing GEJ with such accusations they were making him look bad but who are the people that have ultimately borne the consequences now? Same way don't think by making PMB look bad by with IPOB things will be good for the SE in the long run.
[color=royalblue]Your comment validates my point again and again.
You are still describing it as an SE issue, when it is an insecurity problem, the the government should be responsible for
The last time I checked, Uzodinma was dragged for using the Army to attack UGM where scores of youths were killed. I am surprised his name is still here as those dancing around the issue
Soludo publicly ended the Sit at home immediately he won. Yet, you still added him there. If I ask you to show me a proof of SE politicians supporting the attacks, you'll show me a link of 2017; A time when IPOB was just a group calling for secession....Nothing more.
The people killed are the Easterners The businesses attacked are the Easterners
But then, everybody assumes the Igbos are supporting it.
There will always be a group that supports evil; Even in the North, there are those that support BH.[/color]
afrodoc2: I hail you guys. It does not make mathematical sense to me how people are not only surviving but even thriving in that country. People's salaries and incomes have not increased in the same geometric fashion that price levels have yet Nigerians are still making do. Respect!
TrebleChamp: Bro just take a flight and save yourself from physical and emotional stress, the roads aren't safe as you know plus Flood in Lokoja has forced motorist to take longer routes...

patrickmuf: People fail to take into account the population of Lagos and its size when making comparisons, all their focus is always on the amount of money available to the government...
Nice one...
[color=royalblue]I couldn't find records from 1999 for states.
Most records online starts from 2003, and they are few. So its quite challenging, and unfair to rate Tinubu with just one tenure.
Somehow, I also think they cannot really be measured on the same scale. There's a lot of differences to account for. [/color]
