The trumpet has been blown and the gate of Salvation closed.

The train has left its station and there's no stopping it.

Nice post again. But to add to this, Nepotism isn't a tribal thing but it cuts across all spheres of life n all tribes.even in local govts(all Nigerian tribes) u see an instance where d chairman exhibits favouritism to ppl from his town/village. So its a general problem.
Again u said most of the ppl who voted him in were illiterates(possibly true as I can tell).Why then don't u think d Igbo's who would be defending such things are not right thinking .(hope u get my point here) .its wrong to generalise using comments of 10-20 persons in a race with millions of ppl. We all should shun stereotyping n tribalism.#real naija prblm

Thanks for this. It seems we're on the same page but me I'm seeing things from the root cause of the problem. Tribalism started from favouritism/Nepotism and once you start favouring your own people against others, they(others) start to see you and your people differently. Acceptably every tribe is guilty of Nepotism and eventually tribalism but the reason why most people view the SE&SS people as the most tribal is the fact that they don't hide theirs and always go to extreme to justify it. Example is the issue of Ijaw people calling for the presidential pardon on Ibori while still serving his sentence.

Generalising cannot be written off in human existence as long as those 10-20 people still speak out based on their tribe.

no its actually Yoruba OYO

Olodos----- Ibadan is yoruba Oyo.

Stop deceiving yourselves. Oyo has intonation and some other word that are not in WAEC and NECO.

Hollaniyii:
Where is Ibadan on this list?

Don't mind them jare. Just dey look dem dey fumble.

Meanwhile its the Yoruba of Ibadan that WAEC and NECO recognise and dey use o.

Have bn dating dis gal 4 2yrs nw... Sh went to her hometown 4 easter, she came back jst yesterday, sh jst came to c me today, due to d size of d big hand bag she carried... I decided to check her bag n I saw dis little tin inside, its all wrapped with feathers all over, am so very shocked, I asked ha wats it, she jst said its nothing.... Pls does any1 here knws wats it... Coz it luks so fetish to me

You asked her and she said "nothing"?

OP 739km no far again o cos somebody don trek am from lagos to abuja. its better you too start your own o far away from d geh.

Please where are the silly goats trying to bring the Yorubas into this Igbo internal matter.

Crocz:
Except you develop a complex mathematical model for it, I don't see how you can know for certain if it's possible to walk or if he did walk from Lagos to Abj in that time....cos there are some many factors to consider:
* did he follow conventional car route?
* how many mins/hours did he take to rest, eat and/ sleep, chat?
* at what pace was he walking
* did he maintain the same pace all through the journey?...he could jug a while

Now assuming he lag in one or more of the above which still doesn't account for all the factors or parameters in this context, then we can take the lag as "U"...and give a linear model as:

¥ = a + bC + b2R + b3P + .... + U

Where ¥ = number of hours it took him
a = constant
b = coefficients
U = error term/lag
In theory, it means the number of hours it took him to walk the journey depends on the distance C, rest hours R, walking pace P and other factors.

The statisticians and mathematicians can take it from here *sigh*

Simply put, going by the 737Km of lagos to Abuja, the guy will have to trek at the least an average 41km per day to make it in 18days.

The question is can someone trek 40km in a day?

I will conveniently say Yes.

If marathon runners can make 30km in 2 1/5 hours then 40km is childs play for some people. If anyone doubts it, they should try and calculate how many km do all this gala sellers trek per day in traffics.

Joe82834:
U are also right bro but it depends on the angle u re coming from. Definitely, rumours about his drug connections were known b4 d elections.so it can also be argued that d ppl of Ogun defended him with their votes.now u see my point.or do u think d no of nairalanders(from Ogun state) commenting are more than those who voted 4 him.a definite no.truth is we all should curtail tribalism as almost every Nigerian has can element of it.tanx

Most of the people that voted for him are majorly illiterate that has no access to the internet to know the kind of crime he is supposed to face. Same cannot be said of people (even on NL here)that see the truth and still go ahead to make excuse for such by claiming a conspiracy against their people.

I understand your view of trying to plead to people to shun Tribalism. I will also like a Nigeria free from tribalism but we can't achieve that if we don't eliminate favouritism towards people of our own tribe(Nepotism).

By favouring your people above other tribe even when your people has not done well will eventually lead to tribalism because in the end the person will eventually alienate himself and his tribe from other tribes.

OBJ may be a scumbag but he is one of the most detribalised Nigerian leaders ever. Even if his own daughter is caught in a wrong act he won't protect her.

#SayNoToNepotism and #Tribalism will be greatly reduced.

ozoigbondu:
l don't understand the sudden love America has for us or their sudden interst in our elections but what of buhari and his dog and baboon blood will mix or tinubu rig and roast threat or Ameachi parallel government threat and most recently Oba akilou lagoon talk.

It is obvious from the article that the woman never mentioned names or incidences. It was the writer that suggested people that could be affected. You're also free to add yours like you just did.

In the end, when the sanctioned list comes out and you feel aggrieved you're free to take the US government to court.

freemanbubble:
african leaders are bunch of idiots since 1895. People who caused the death of thousands in ivorycoast alongside gbagbo. Shame on african leaders. No sense of shame.
President jonathan remain our hero

Ode ni e.

Did your Jonah get shame. If he get shame he no go even contest after over 15,000 human beings have been killed under his watch and more than a Million turned into refugees in their own country.

You're just a shameless and useless hypocrite.

lurther:
If buruji Kashamu was an igbo man, what people would have been writing on this thread is 'igbos are druglords'. In this article, it was very explicit and detailed that Buruji Kashamu a man from ogun state is a drug lord wanted in the united states of america.

Tribalism is bad.........#SayNoToTribalism.

You're right.

Also on the other hand if he were to be an igbo man, instead of being condemned like the people from ogun state has been condemning him, what his kinsmen like you will have been writing is, "they are conspiring against the igbos".

Is that not?

Nepotism is worst............#SayNoToNepotism

ishiamu:
Now I understand what you mean... you mean the ones you mentioned are small thieves while the others are big thieves.... thank you

Stop drawing inference from what the guy said. Either small or big, thief na thief, stealing is corruption. Those ones are confirmed thief by our law & constitution.

Tinubu's people are very clean by our constitution but if you feel otherwise then take it up with the constitution and the people that has being incharge of enforcing it for the past 16years.

BTW the guy knocked you out already. Don't you ever die.

By our Nigerian dictionary; compared to N2trn campaign spenders; $20bn oil scammers; N1.7trn subsidy fraudsters; pension scammers; immigration scammers; N299bn NDDC budgeters; N260mln bullet proof car buyers....... Yes they are.

Thanks for this response. The only thing I'll have changed is the "Dictionary" to "Constitution" otherwise perfect response.

This your obsession with GMB has no equal!

Your life must be very pathetic I swear. Why don't you wait for the administration to be sworn in and start work before you start the rubbish you've chosen to embark on?

Your die-hard supporters must by now be ashamed of you already!

Lalasticlala, Seun, Ishilove, please stop giving this guy unnecessary attention by moving silly threads as this to the front page.

Stop feeding his over bloated ego please!

Just as I expected, here is one of the few reasonable PDP supporters:

The guy is just pathetic.

He is trying hard to redeem his dented image. I just wish he could decamp from my beloved Barcelona before he infects us with his ill luck. Especially with his prediction on winning champions league.

His attempts to ridicule the man's policy even when it is yet to start shows he's not tactical and quite un intelligent. Hard working, no doubt but he doesn't know when to tap out or which battle he's to fight and which not to fight.

SLIDEwaxie:
What exactly do u knw?

If a daft man like Jonathan can use 2trillion for election, then 1.8 trillion is possiblenin four yrs.

Besides, feeding the school children will be limited to public school, just increase every state govt allocation by 15 million and it will work.

Abt paying the unemployed youth without working is not sensible. He can continue the Jonathan's sure p internship programme. At least, they pay 10k per month for a yr so its possible.

If ladija can return 500 million, OBJ- 200million dollars then be rest assured that there is cash available.

Look at it this way: if you remove $2 on every barrel produced, then tell me it won't amount to something

Thank you for this. People tend to use the budget of past corrupt government(s) to analyse the programs set by APC and Buhari without factoring in the all the funds that has be stolen before arriving at the Budget figure.

$700million(about N150bn @ current xchange rate) cash was alleged to have been found in Diezani's apartment.

$20bn (about N4tr) missing from NNPC account.

Unaccountable daily Oil thefts.

Unnecessarily high cost of governance. If Buhari can realistically get only 50% all those and many unmentioned ones. I think all he promised should be realistic.

Years of pilfering of our resources has resulted in our failure to realise how rich this country is.

When we talk about how tribalistic our brothers from the SE and SS are in the politics of our nation, they come here are talk trash and make serious of accusation.

Never in this country's history has decorum being thrown out the window like the time of GEJ. Our Mentality has been so corrupt that we now celebrate mediocrity, justify and glorify corruption in the name of "na our brother".

OBJ was the president for 8years, he never covered his own Yoruba people. He even went as far as jailing anyone that was found wanting irrespective of their tribe eg Tafa balogun, Bode george.

Yar'dua came in he never descended so low as to try and free Al mustafa and no organised group ever advocated for his release.

It was in the time of GEJ that the felon was stylishly released. A man indicted of planning to assassinate a sitting president of our country(while still in prison). Bode george was also cleared on the basis of wrong conviction. Diepreye Alamieyeseigha an internationally convicted criminal was also granted Presidential pardon. All this under the watch of GEJ.

Now another group is calling for the pardon of another serving criminal even before he finished serving his prison term. Honestly with the kind of mind set this people are showing, a serious minded country will be better off without them at the helms of affairs of the Nation.

Pejapaul:
am a northerner and i stand on the fact that the victory of Buhari was base on conspiracy against gooluck and the south, i mean its high time we have an igbo president, let them taste the presidency and whoever oppose this motion is part of the conspiracy i mentioned.

Mr, you don't have to tell us where you're from.

BTW presidency is not something you just give or dash out. You have to work for it. Buhari has been at it for 12years. How many igbo man can contest for presidency just twice without facing criticism from even his own people.

For a region to produce president, they have to show sign of seriousness by first, presenting a credible/infallible candidate secondly stand in unity behind him like the North did for buhari. From there people see the conviction of that region in the candidate and they start taking them seriously.

Its unfortunate the Igbos are not that united. This is evidenced by a particular governor who chased/sacked fellow Igbos from another state away from his government. Presidency is not a gift you give a region, the region has to work for it.

ShowYourCertificate:
Did you read their demands? They want the amnesty bounty to continue. Now do you think your clueless certificateless senile Buhari will oblige their demands bearing in mind that he intends to minimise unnecessary expenditures?

Its obvious in your rant that you are either a direct or indirect beneficiary of the illegal deal called Amnesty but no need calling names, just get a real job. Nigeria can't be paying you and your brodas for doing nothing but threatening our peace.

And remember to tell your lazy ars.e brodas also to get a real job. A legit one.

Nigeria is bigger than any of you clowns.

You might as well get a radio station to broadcast it to the world.

Here's the reality here. You are not the first to say it and won't definitely be the last but guess what, the religion has never shaken ever since your ilks started the defamation and propaganda and will never change till the end of time when it will be too late for you to realise.

Not even a word has changed in the book for the over 1400 years of its existence (yes the book is that much perfect and protected by its author, God. who even challenged anyone to produce anything similar to it) unlike ur book that has gone through modifications and countless versions over the few years of my own little existence.

Deal with it.

kodded:
THAT IS WHY I SAID APC SHOULD NT MAKE A FUSS OUT OF THIS LITTLE ISSUE...................NOW YOU GUYS ARE SAYING HE WANT TO PLOT A COUP..........THE NEGATIVITY OF THIS ACTION IS ALREADY GROWING SOON PARTY THUGS WILL TAKE TO THE STREET AND START KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE..........
..........ALL BECAUSE A PARTY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE HAND OVER DATE FROM MAY 29 TO MAY 28

Its either you know nothing about country politics/governance or you're being myopic.

Handing over on 28 as announce by the Information Minister means Nigeria will have no President for the next 8 to 10 hours before the swearing in.

It means the Military can seize power by then. They don't need the constitution so they do need to swear to it.

GEJ is a DEVIL.
