To those calling GMB a fool...a dullard...an idiot...thats an Elderly man for fυcks sake!!
How would you feel if someone calls ur dad or grand dad a fool, a dullard or an idiot ??
And i know You lots are igbos (christians) Even ur bibble says you should give respect to those in Leadership positions...

What you sow you shall reap...
with what you have said, i can conclude that pmb and his crew are already reaping what they sowed during gej's administration. they insulted and maimed gej who is also an elderly person, therefore others are abusing them also.

do unto others what you want them to do unto you.
PoliticsRe: PDP Senators Get Juicy Appointments As Saraki Names Committees by JohnVianney:
Let everyone work to his own capacity. I don't buy the idea of pdp this, apc that...... If you have a job, and know someone that can do the job very well, give to to him/her shikena! if the pdp or apc senators appointed to chair those committees do their work very well, there will be no cause for alarm. The senators, pdp supporters and apc supporters will all be happy.

this pdp and apc case is quite similar to that of tribalism in nigeria.

CrimeRe: Bank Robbery In FESTAC Town by JohnVianney:
i was there live and there were casualties.
i had to take cover behind a heavy concrete wall. Those guys were loaded with lots of heavy ammunition, the bullets from those guns burst through many walls infact, they came fully prepared.
As I approached the banks (immediately after they had departed) i heard someone screaming so i went to investigate and saw that one of the straight bullets had killed a mother and her child.
This was just one out of many other numerous cases of casualties.
There were blood stains on the street among many other graphic sights.

It was a very gory experience.

Incompetency? That's ur opinion but PMB sees him worthy and his opinion supercedes urs.
Well, it is said that light and darkness do not have anything in common so therefore they cannot meet.
Also there is a very popular saying which says thus "Show me your friend, and i will tell you whom you are".

Given the above statements, a saint can not have demons as his pals also, the friend to a lair is also a lair. I will not talk further because i know you are a wise person and as such, you can read meaning into the sentences above.

adeekiti:
This first thing that came to my mind is, when are we going to stop celebrating silliness, are we still generation behing the western worlds, how can we still be using materials like dis to build an automobile, the whole thing look horrible and odd like that of a fairy toon, we need to develop more creativity, add more colors to our painting then we can then boast of invention, but for dis damn it's just a child's play, tell me when dey grow then I will ask another question abt out development in naija
sorry to intrude sir, but the system in Nigeria does little or nothing to fund the creativity of these students. the proper materials needed to construct nice automobiles can scarcely be found in the country and if found, one has to pay exorbitant amounts of money just to "rent" the tools.

so, when one realises that he can get minute volts of electricity from lemons and potatoes instead of looking for batteries which aren't at his disposal, his environment should applaud his efforts by encouraging him to do better next time, that is the only way he would later gain the momentum needed to construct a nuclear plant

PoliticsIGBOS, A PEOPLE THRIVING AMIDST ADVERSITY: WHO ARE THE IGBOS by JohnVianney(op):
WHO ARE THE IGBOS OF WEST AFRICA?

And I will ask: “Who are the Igbos?”.
Igbo is one of the three major tribes in Nigeria. An Igbo is a person from Igbo Land. Igbo also refers to the native or primary language of this tribal grouping in Nigeria, called Igbos.

In a Lecture delivered in an international forum years back, a former Governor of a Nigerian State of Abia, Orji Uzor Kalu, said;
“I will not detain you with genealogical or anthropological exercise here. Let it be sufficient for me to just say this about the origin of the Igbo: serious studies based on verifiable evidence indicate that the Igbo have lived in Igboland for almost as long as man has lived on earth. The archaeological finds at Ugwuele in Okigwe provide a meaningful evidence of human activities in the theatre of Igbo civilization more than two hundred and fifty thousand years ago. Evidence of man-made tools like axe, pottery and carved stones dug up at the present day Enugu and Ebonyi states lend credence to the existence of Igbo culture for scores of millennia. My people are known as the Igbo and our language is Igbo."

Igbo people constitute one of the three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria what Nigerian historians have come to term the tribal tripod. The other two are the Yoruba and the Hausa. The primary Igbo states in Nigeria are Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, and Enugu (if justice and equity reigned, there should have been 6 or 7, instead of just 5 states). Due to their mobility, the Igbo constitute between 25% - 60% of the population in some other Nigerian States such as Delta, Rivers, Lagos, Kano, Cross River, Kaduna, Akwa Ibom and Plateau, to mention a few.

Although the Igbos mainly and primarily inhabit the South-eastern part of Nigeria, they have, however spread like ants in the savannah to every nook and cranny of Nigeria, Africa and indeed the world at large.
Thriving, building and enriching themselves, their environment and others in all facets of life as they do so. The veteran American diplomat, Henry Kissinger, hit the nail on the head when he aptly observed that: “The Igbos are the wandering Jews of West Africa; gifted, aggressive, Westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by the mass of their neighbors in the Federation.” – Henry Kissinger,MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT, Tuesday, January 28, 1969 [Foreign Relations, 1969-1976, Volume E-5, Documents on Africa, 1969-1972]

Love them or hate them, there is no gainsaying the very fact that the Igbos are a visionary and highly enterprising people. Yes, though it is not the aim of this work to go deep into the history of the Igbos or who they are, but suffice it to say that the Igbos are Nigerians occupying the space otherwise known as the South-Eastern part of the present day Nigeria. They are also the indigenous population of some parts of Benue, Delta (otherwise called Delta-Igbos or the Aniomas of Delta North Senatorial Zone) and Rivers (otherwise called Rivers Igbo of Rivers East Senatorial Zone and partly Rivers West Zone). Also, the Agbanis around Opobo
area are Igbo descendants (remember King Jaja of Opobo, who originally hailed from Amaigbo, same town where the celebrated world heavy weight boxing champion, “Dick Tiger” Ihenetu came from). There are also the Igbankes of Edo State. Succinctly put, indigenous Igbos wholly occupy the South-Eastern part of Nigeria; major parts of Delta and River States; and small parts of Kogi, Benue, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom and Bayelsa States.

And I once read a piece of article in a Nigerian Newspaper in which the famous Odia Ofemimun was commenting on a certain controversy over seniority among Yoruba Obas. In that interesting piece where he quoted learned historians like Prof Adiele Afigbo, the great Odia showed how related some tribes (in Nigeria) are. He revealed how Ile-Ife was occupied by some earlier inhabitants including Obatala, said to be a progenitor of the Igbo race, and who moved eastward after an encounter with Oduduwa on the arrival of the latter to Ife. That wonderful work titled "Oba Of Benin Is The Number One", I think, gave me a clue as to why such names as Ijebu-Igbo should exist in Yoruba Land. I now know it is not a mere coincidence. The movement of Obatala eastward explains the origin of Igbos of Delta State, the Aniomas, even though some of them migrated from what we call ‘South East’ today. It, therefore, remains wrong to say that the Aniomas have any ancestry with the Binis or any other tribe in the present day Edo or Delta State; let alone say that the Aniomas originated from any of the tribes in either Edo or Delta State.
