Do these guys know the number of estates in Ibadan?
If you add all the capita cities in SE together, I don't think they can be more than Ibadan in size.

Penguin2:
Simple question...

Can you prove they weren’t miscreants?

Can you prove they were miscreants?

Penguin2:
Poor escape route.

As usual, you would always run when the logic becomes superior.

You have not seen Kanu talked about it?
Massob?
Do you want the gory pictures?

Penguin2:
Bring contrary proof that they weren’t miscreants or shut up; forever!

Really?
What a shame

Penguin2:
SARS killed miscreants who terrorized Upper Iweka.

Niger Deltans were protesting against their perceived marginalization.

Your terrorist Fulani friends were responsible for Jos massacre.

How are these PDP’s fault?

And hey, what tangible thing do you have to show after 6 years of your sojourn with APC? Abi you want it to get to 16 years first?

So the people killed under Peter Obi by SARS are miscreants? Wow!

The 100 bodies dumped inside the River were miscreants.

The only time Yoruba ever aligned with North was 2015.
It was Igbos and Fulanis that always join hands together to vote for a President. What were your forefathers thinking then? Why should Yoruba take blame for an incident that happened under a government voted by Igbos and Northerners?

DMerciful:
I do not care about Azikiwe and Awolowo.
They ruined Nigeria from foundation.

Your comment makes no sense because if Awolowo doesn't want Azikiwe as premier in West, why form same country with him?

Bush was governor of Texas why is brother was governor of another US state(North Carolina I think). If you wanna practice US Federal system, do it but not a caricature of it

Go and rule your region. Always trying to steal what belongs to others.

DMerciful:
Oil from my region was used to build all the federal roads in Lagos including the 3rd mainland bridge. Majority of the infrastructures were built with Niger Delta oil wealth

Oil from which region?
Ondo state produces more oil than any state in SE

Penguin2:
The upcoming generation of Nigerians can rewrite the history of this country.

We can correct the ills that has been done.

We can stop inheriting hatred passed on from our forefathers and perpetuated by politicians for their selfish gains.

So, I don’t believe in insulting everyone that comes my way. Reasonable people don’t do that.

Light and love always!

I believe in Nigeria; built on equity and fairness!

Ndigbo uses Lagos to Ibadan road more than Yorubas? It is always this statistics you pull out from your azz sha.
Lmao.

Penguin2:
No project supersedes life.

And under PDP our life was never threatened. Such rhetorics as “it is better to give your ancestral land than get slaughtered” was never in our lexicon.

And besides, unless you can point to any significant project PDP executed elsewhere and wasn’t replicated in the Southeast, then you have no argument.

With that said, PDP gave us SGF, COAS, and other reputable appointments. We felt we belonged.

PDP upgraded Enugu Airport to International status. Something Buhari has tried to kill with heavy taxation on Ethiopian airline that operates there.

PDP gave us the second Niger bridge and tried to dredge the river Niger so our goods can start coming direct to Onitsha. But Buhari has abandoned it.

We weren’t 5 percent to PDP nor are we just a mere “Dot in a Circle”.

And lastly, it is not always about us, the Igbos, but about the generality of the welfare of the Nigerian people.

I know you Yoruba would be comfortable as far as you are enjoying and the rest of the country is burning.

But we are not like that. Because the Igbo man is a business man and a traveler, he sees every part of Nigeria as his constituency and is always bothered if things aren’t right anywhere.

Ndigbo want Lagos-Ibadan Expressway completed more badly than even the Yoruba people want it. Because you might find it funny that the volume of Igbos using that road on a daily surpasses that of any other tribe.

Ndigbo want Abuja-Lokoja highway constructed even more than Kogi people want it.

Just like we want Abuja-Kaduna-Kano highway completed. Because these are our business routes.

Now let me ask you a question, does any Yoruba care if Enugu-Onitsha Expressway is constructed? What’s the volume of Youbas that ply that route in a month?

Abeg no make me talk plenty.

It was under PDP that SARS killed 100 people and dumped in the River in Anambra.
Many people were killed in Benue, Niger Delta and Plateau under PDP.

I asked you the reason for supporting a party for 16 years without any tangible thing to show for it?
Not just a party o, a party that earned the highest revenue in the history of Nigeria

Penguin2:
We play politics of ideology.

In 2015, nothing stopped us from jumping on the APC bandwagon but the ideology of the drivers of the party didn’t align with ours and that’s why we didn’t.

It is not because we believed an incumbent can never lose.

We have never liked Buhari even when he contested twice with Igbo vices.

We are a people that is consistent with our thinking and ideology. We don’t play politics of convenience.

So all those things you said up there have no bearing to why we stuck with PDP.

Politics of ideology where you aligned with a party for 16 years and the party left all the roads in SE in shambles?

Can you point to a worthy project PDP did for SE in the 16 years you were doing politics of ideology?
Or is it ideology of kari Ka chop?

obailala:
Well, I don't know about that statement, never heard of it. Who made the statement?... and when, where, when and in what context was it said? Kindly provide evidence and details? Until then, you still just sound like someone who's desperate to hate on fashola but citing "he hates my tribe" as your justification.

Fashola never made such statement. We Yorubas are used to some people creating different quotes in their head and projecting it on the media to paint us bad.
Nobe today

Mordecai:
Nope, it wasn't.

Naira had two rates before civilian rule in 1999.
$1/N90 was the official rate against N90 on the parallel market.

Under the PDP administration, the rates converged and remained at N120-N150 for over ten years.

Can you say the same for the present government?

No. Naira was 22 naira at official rate in 1999.
And in 2014, I was selling my Payoneer funds to exchangers at 200+.
Payoneer funds is always slightly less than parallel market.

Mordecai:
While the PDP administration had lots of shortcomings, we can all agree that the banking industry, telecoms, cement, insurance, and Payments Industry grew under their watch with the attendant growth in employment. They stabilized the dollar for all of 16 years and cleaned up our debt books.

Cannot say the same for the present government that gave us two recessions back to back, killing viable industries like flies, causing loss of jobs, and adding insult to the injury with their bogus claims about having lifted 30 million Nigerians from poverty in 2020.

Any Nigerian that thinks otherwise is either being sentimental and biased, or plain daft.

Stabilized naira?
How?
Naira was 22 naira to a dollar when PDP left. And it was 220 when they left

Ekealterego:
Typical low IQed Nigeria. I am a "Niger Deltan", . For me, and almost all the Igbos, their dream is an All Igbo Biafra.. give or take, one or two minority group.

Keep on deceiving yourself.
I am not surprised, typical Igbo man thinks he is the only one with high IQ, so say whatever makes you sleep at night.

Ekealterego:
"Niger Delta" both historically, geographically and politically today is not just SS states... Even today, Abia, Imo and Ondo are Niger delta, although they all choose to identify by their larger ethnic group and consider the label to be used by minorities with no pride in their ethnic group. On the other hand, the Adaka Boro's Niger Delta is just present-day BAYELSA and has got nothing to do in any way with most other states from Akwa-Ibom to Cross Rivers, to Edo or Delta state or Abia or Imo state.

The declaration was a name and does not represent the whole place. And Isaac Adaka Boro's fight was an "agitation" that lasted for less than 12 days. If they were serious, they would fight. Either ways, the guy was killed like a common rat by the Fulani people who made him relevant.

Eastern region both historically and politically was a creation of the British. There was no Eastern region before colonialists came.
Niger Delta people said they are not part of Biafra. Leave them alone and stop trying to do attaché by force.
Manage your Lesotho

PROUDIGBO:
Yet they still think Adaka Boro, Dappa Biriye, Diette-Spiff, etc, were on the right side of History!

Ogoni share a similar story!

Azikiwe worked with Fulanis, Ojukwu worked with them too even after the war.
Niger Delta were the first to secede but Igbos stopped them via Ojukwu and Ironsi.
Stop trying to gaslight them, your region is not ruled by better administrators.

Sha call us to eat rice during naming. Na you sabi o

Fool, inconclusive election if less than 50% of registered voters were disenfranchised. Do you even understand anything on the ekectoral act?

So much ignorance and stupidity in one post. Even if it is one person that vote on that day, there will be a winner

humility33:
Ofuani messed the coup up
Kaduan Nzeogwu executed the coup plot effectively in the north..
There is a book "why we struck" it perfectly explain the coup plot in detail

I agree.

humility33:
And the SE suffered for that betrayal then even at that Kaduna Nzeogwu first point of duty then was to release awolowo that was arrested for treason but anyway the southerners are simply folks that hate themselves

You should ask yourself who jailed Awolowo?
Wasn't Azikiwe part of them?

humility33:
And the SE suffered for that betrayal then even at that Kaduna Nzeogwu first point of duty then was to release awolowo that was arrested for treason but anyway the southerners are simply folks that hate themselves

Hearsay.
Kaduna Nzeogwu as much as I respect his patriotism didn't made mention of such though some of the participants in the coup said so.
You should first asked why the coup failed.
Why was Western premier killed, northern premier killed, Okotiebo killed, Northern military leaders killed, Yoruba military leaders killed but Igbo leaders in all spheres went Scot free?
Is it that corruption was restricted to South West and the North?
PS. I believe Nzeogwu was not the reason for the above but definitely somehow, some Igbo participants made the coup a sectional one.

humility33:
So let us vote the northerner we want now

And stop dishing the sentiments of southern presidency to us because we're not interested in the cunning and craft venture to get the presidency to your Region via the back door

I have never done that.
You will never see me push southern sentiments that didn't happen when SS and SE were collaborating with Tafawa Balewa.
You people always want to start the history of Nigeria from 2015

humility33:
Oga I am not Ibo I am SS...Edo

Mind u talk on Awolowo collaboration with the Northerners during the Civil war to unleash terror in the east and also talk on how greedy abiola sponsored many Coup in nigeria

How can you mention Awolowo When Isaac Adaka Boro also collaborated with the North?
Is he also a betrayer?
Awolowo should have allowed Biafra to overrun Lagos abi.

humility33:
Speak for yourself bro

PDP has always won the 11 SS/SE states since 1999 because they got good structures in place

More so the betrayal from the SWs regarding how they unseat GEJ to bring Nigerians into this suffering still fresh in our memory

I think stupidity runs in your bloodstream.
Calling SW who voted Jonathan in 2011 betrayals means you lack common sense.
We had no agreement to vote any Southerner.
We have the right to vote anyone.
Did your father vote for Awolowo when he contested?
I guess there was nothing called South then
Ori e tiburu

Soludo will win. Don't deceive yourself at all. Except APC want to write figures, I don't see APC winning at all

Kyase:
Osibanjo and Obi who do you think will do better

Osinbajo.
Peter Obi is a tribalist.
We still remember how he called APC a Yoruba party when Ngige contested.
Apart from that, he is a refined administrator and would do well.

Kyase:
How

Far far different.
Buhari is the extremely conservative and sometimes rigid.
Policy wise, he is not that savvy.
Osinbajo is miles ahead, safe for political clout Osinbajo lacks, he will be a far better President than anyone since 99.
His time as Acting President shows what he has in stock.

What offence did they committ with playing lotto?
I agree with drinking but lotto nobe crime.
That one nobe news abeg

MrBanner:
This is by far one of the dumbest comments I've ever read on this forum. Pray tell, if GEJ borrowed to pay salary, then where did PMB get the funds which he issued as loan to the state governments to pay their workers? Are you so dumb that you don't know that state and federal civil service are different? If the federal level borrowed to pay their workers then how come that same federal is the one giving loans to states? And what in God's name is this:

"The economy look normal under GEJ because corruption money was greasing the economy, corruption money was in circulation, but once that stopped, everything unraveled out in the open."?

Are you sure you went to school? Because the only thing that can excuse this level of ignorance is illiteracy and childishness.

So you know more than GEJ's minister of finance?
How do you people even stand logic on its head?

NGpatriot:
Mambilla power project is a massive 3,050 MW currently stalled due to legal issues instigated by Sunrise Power & Transmission (Nigeria) Co. Limited, we can not go ahead because of this legal challenge by this company, come to find out, Sambo Dasuki and his family are owners of this company.

We can not move forward because of these crooks, namely Dambo Dasuki.


Sad.

It shall not be well with every single person that supported him during his ordeal with Buhari.
It shall not be well with PDP.
Can you imagine?
