I don't expect you to be excited about reminiscing your political miscalculation so your desperate attempt to evade it comes as no surprise

Reality is a b!tch in stilettos honey. Deal with it and save me your mindless babble.

Oh dear...such a pity!

EvilMetahuman:
gimme a break abeg.

Yoruba demanded the same in 2011, instead what did we get?

marginalization-elders-met-jonathan

Did yorubas set the country on fire cos of this? Nope
Did we go about abusing other tribes for the marginalisation we did not even deserve?
To think we even voted for this same gej.

Instead, we went back to the drawing board.
Why can't these people do the same instead of trying to blackmail us with Biafra chant?

No one is setting the country on fire. The issue of the Igbos have been long before 2015 elections, there was a reason for the civil war and those reasons persist even now. Biafra was even before Nigeria and certainly before 2015. MASSOB has been for decades, IPOB was before 2015!

The thing is, we've decided not to muddy the waters but rather stay independent if a restructuring of the current political arrangement will not be effected. There's no point attempting to thrive in putrid filth when there's fresh air to be had is there? The status quo is disgusting! A few benefit but the majority suffer! Even with the North in in power, majority still suffer and only enjoy d sentimental satisfaction of 'my person is in power'.

The difference between us and others is that we don't do underhand nonsense! Let everyone get their fair share and contest meritoriously for the top places, simple! We believe in making our own food n then paying out of our excess on agreed terms not someone sitting up there n deciding what I should get when I can get more! If others don't buy into it then we don't belong together so we split! Any problem?

fulanimafia:
You definitely lack the capacity to fault the logic of my submission hence your resort to baseless babble. Swerve and savor your sour grapes in peace.

I can't debate with u when you're clearly stuck at peripheral politics of APC and PDP. That'll be sinking too low for me..Enjoy ur mud bath, I don't deal at such levels. Logical submission?! Ha! Hilarious to say the least!

clevadani:
If you can't point out what's wrong with the suggestion, then I must say you're intellectually inept

If u can't read and comprehend what is clearly written then I'm sorry, I cannot reduce it to the A is for Apple and B is for Ball level which u clearly expect.

EvilMetahuman:
No way. They would rather attack attack oshinbajo and obasanjo for speaking for one naijairiya but not their leaders.

They prefer one nigeria more than anything, all those biafra chant gimmick is just to blackmail federal government to consider them after making huge political blunder.

Give them 2-3 solid federal post now, you will see them singing ebele buhari.

Awon alatari pelele.

You know, the fact that the politics of vindictiveness and winner-takes-all is still the order of the day and supported by supposedly enlightened persons shows that there's something fundamentally wrong. Unless the law provides for a one party state I see no reason why the democratic choice of candidate of any person or group of persons will be a basis for some kind of 'punishment'. If no crime was committed exactly why should one think that demanding equality and the so called federal character is not the entitlement of those who supported a candidate who didn't win elections?

fulanimafia:
Miss Geriatric, that is false. If the past president had delivered on his promises to the South East and done what the writer is asking the Buhari administration to do in order to quell tensions, then the cries of marginalization wouldn't be so loud. You lot just hate to accept the fact that you were scammed by Jonathan and PDP (and voted with your emotions not brains) and are now waiting for the 'dullards' administration that you worked so hard to keep away from power to perform miracles your hero couldn't perform.

That's a tad myopic but it's clearly all u can offer so I'll leave you to it. With a bit more maturity and wisdom perhaps, you just might get it.

If they don't work, call back every single Igbo back to the SE. And let them reject every single federal appointment and see if Nigeria will not listen to you.

I was just waiting for the punchline loaded with ignorance and voila! It's right there at the bottom of the pile of dog-crap! Y'all never disappoint, the greed and Ahitophel nature must peek through and overshadow every seemingly altruistic move.

Well done Op, it's in you!

fulanimafia:
But..but..but...we thought Jonathan did all this for the South East throughout his 5 years in power which was why the SE gave him 95% of their votes. Its a travesty of logic to expect the man they consider as a "brain-dead illiterate dullard" to accomplish all of this which the PhD President failed to accomplish. Afterall what can a "nepa-bill" President be expected to achieve in the SE? Stop speaking from both sides of your mouth.

Young man, the discourse is beyond elections and who supported APC or PDP. Issues have festered and gone sour so for once try understanding the foundational problems or better still, keep the APC/Buhari and PDP/Jonathan narrative aside. These are mere offshoots of the real problems that plague this country.

It goes beyond trying to bring about those superficial palliative measures. The right to a choice must be recognised and given, decisive actions must be given to accord every region its right of place. Real discussions must be had and agreements reached not some elevated fools impressing their ideas of the benefits of unity.

Wow! Pretty long sentences

Ukbrown:
Ngige deserve all the insult /abuse from any Nigerian. How can you just wake up and start vomiting trash, that igbos didn't invest in Buhari's campaign and as such they should not expect anything from the govt of the day. This shows how selective and sentimental this govt is.

He's just parroting the mindset of the ruling party and their leaders, he's close enough to know. unfortunately he's right and all the more stupid for attempting to make it look like everyone who didn't vote Buhari is wrong and should be punished.

Iamwrath:
I bet the cocksucking Liepobs are jubilating and retweeting this tweets

apart from the fact that they did not vote for him , they hate him, they bombed pipelines for 8 months , trying to sabotage the economy and now they are shouting recession up and down

Reality is the ediot who served 5 years didn't think to build airport in SS/SE /ND ( According to reno Omocriminal trying to prove iboes don't have airport despite being the most industrious ) , now they expect man who has had tribulations for 2 years to build airport

is it the money he used to repair pipelines or the monies other people have stolen or his own personal money that'll be used to build airport ?

No president had more tribulations than Jonathan with the Boko haram scam perpetrated by the North. He also had to contend with the petty election petition after 2011 elections still he upgraded Enugu airport to international status among other things. What tribulation has Bubu faced other than his ignorance and divisive statements made by his own mouth with which he caused so much restiveness in the ND? Where is the much touted Ogoni cleanup after almost 1year? His ill-health he also compounded by himself through greed to be president whether alive or dead. His natural frailty due to age and sickness which was already clear to sane people has naturally caught up with him due to more pronounced stress of politics and governance.

Point of correction, he has not used any money to repair pipelines, that is the property and business of oil companies. U keep listening to crap of no money but u cannot think of the damaging policies of this regime that brought about the recession and recent problems of this country. Shebi there is money for him to be guzzling in London in the name of Aso-Rock old people's home and treatment centre and the one to dash his boko haram brothers, not including those he has diverted to the NE and even dumped down the drain in the name of searching for crude oil in the North. Nobody even stressed him with presidential election petition where he would have forked over a fortune to lawyers...

Don't even start please!

gberra:
It behooves me, much as any sane mind to point out when your thoughts lack a slice of sense. Moreover, Your opinions do not necessarily have to agree with mine but they should not be seen to have a resemblance of brainlessness.

You should really be remorseful & be in tears for such a careless talk. The world has failed us the reason we are being confronted with this monster. We should not push it any further for the sake of our children and children's children.

-- Daddy

It is your own blindness and contrived ignorance of the importance of history that should keep you in deep retrospection. Naturally, you cannot make sense of my opinion because you are limited by your idea of right and wrong...that in itself is such a dangerous shortcoming and just might place one such as yourself in avoidable danger but then your self-importance will not let u see or know any better so I leave it to you.

gberra:
This is quite unbelievable. Is this what you've got to say about little innocent forgiving children? .. You've really sunk lower than could be imagined.

Meanwhile, hundred of thousands of Muslims are being slaughtered by Christians in C.A.R. I bet you don't know.. Stop being an iceberg & let blood flow in you.

-- Daddy

Mr gberra, I am not beholden to you in any way and you do not get to judge my thought processes and opinions. They are not bound to agree with yours or even the conventional and that's none of your business. Kindly stay off my mentions and stop constituting a nuisance on this forum. If you want to trade notes, how about the recent explosion in Manchester by a muslim, an attack which ISIS has claimed responsibility for? We've turned one cheek too many, there is no other to turn...

Everything is down to political colourations...which one is PDP states and sympathetic states to the PDP? Akwa Ibom, Niger, and co that I see there were they not all PDP states in 2013?

APCsupporter:
this goat should let us be. useless man. so why didn't you at least make an attempt to adopt it? so far Jonathan is the worst president the world has ever seen.

First u should acknowledge that what he says is true and correct. If that is the case u should also acknowledge the instrumentality of the CONFAB to achieve fiscal federalism. When u come to this point, bearing in mind that the CONFAB was held in 2014 at which time and until 2015 all politics was geared towards elections, ask yourself why the party and president in power whom u clearly support have outrightly rejected the CONFAB report and refuse to consider or implement same.

At least Jonathan took a major step by laying a crucial foundation, what has ur Bubu done to build on it as government is supposed to be ad continuum? Why are they happy to continue with TSA, IPPIS and the likes but neither PRESSID nor the CONFAB?

The money voted for this committee will be enough to kick-start payment of a properly increased minimum wage.

Kathmandu:
The Ship has sailed so let's start building another one.

Take a look at a kid and you will see the innocence oozing out of their faces. Kids don't know which party or President is leading us

Baby vipers are just as poisonous as their forebears. That ship is very much around and this attitude of easy forgetfulness/acceptance is what makes u and I impervious to the dangerous sting of such seeming innocents until it's too late...

Person wey no knw where rain start to dey beat am...u know the rest

absoluteSuccess:
Nigera's philanthropists to the rescue.

The annoying part is that it is mainly Christians and Southerners that will try to aid these ingrates who will still turn around and kill them at the slightest opportunity while their wicked northern leaders ignore them and still get revered because of slavish religious beliefs and inclinations.

Wow! Is this what it has become? He's not allowed to travel? For what reason? O Nigeria! They keep exposing their deep-seated hatred shrouded in politics and security! What plausible reason can be given for this nonsense? It only means that in very short time we will be told that the DSS has kidnapped him in their usual fashion...

I am so sure this has everything to do with Nnamdi Kanu. ..

newyorks:
Bashir Ahmed has reveal the secrete that was once hidden from people. email address that anyone can create for the whole nation is now achievement how? what does it cost to create email bikonu? clueless government.

It will shock u how much must have been earmarked and paid out for opening of email addresses because this government is a combination of illiterates and a bid thieves!

izzou:


Make them free this man naa.

Our judiciary no dey try at all

The judiciary has done its job. Compliance and enforcement lies with the Executive.

Judgment has not been given on who is substantive chairman, this was only a motion (I am assuming you can read and comprehend simple English). That said, don't be in too much hurry to expose your ignorant and tribalist tendencies!

ModsWillKillNL:
With Makarfi affirmed as the authentic PDP chairman, there will be no more excuse for flatiyyeasterners to abandon the PDP for the APC anymore.

Flatiyyeasterners are not needed in APC.

crazyABO:
but this actually ain't the case in this situation

True that.
However u and I know such things happen, who then accounts for those lives lost or destroyed in unfortunate incidents?

Guess I'm just being a bit sentimental because of reports and experiences.

crazyABO:
and at the same time they need not to b alive cz it just like wasting medication on those who don't give a damn about human life so why saving dre life. Let them bleed to death n give them to the fishes in the river

Don't forget that in our crazy Nigerian way, some people get shot n framed for robbery. Some are unfortunate passersby who get caught in the crossfire...

Is it that if persons are shot in the course of robbery incidents they shouldn't be treated? Unless the alleged connivance is such that they are treated and left to go free havin ascertained their involvement as robbery suspects, there is no reason why they shouldn't get treatment for injuries sustained. They need to be alive while in custody to face investigation n trial as well.

There is clearly some criminal intent in securing the pre-police clearance prior to their operations but maybe such would have been averted if the police was properly organised and diligent in their operations so that gunshot victims don't automatically face a death sentence due to inability to secure a police report in the first place.

Incapacitation means he is no longer fit to be there as he can no longer discharge the duties of his office. Why should the office then be rendered redundant or run in highly fettered acting capacity when there are healthy, able-bodied persons to take over leadership?

No sane country maintains an incapacitated official as if he occupies whatever office on full capacity, he is constitutionally removed and the deputy takes over or whatever provisions set down are activated! There is a difference between mere headache or ailment that passes in few hours or days and does not require that the president be bedridden or isolated from public view or engagements and the kind that plagues buhari to the point that he cannot even remain at his desk or within the shores of the country.

Aso rock is not an old peoples hospice!

maasoap:
As long as they have court order to keep him in custody for a number of days or weeks, it doesn't matter whether another judge collect money to give contradictory order or not. When it is the right time for him to appear in court, he will. They're can't keep him forever. Let them do their jobs instead of this false crying up and down.. Masses defending their oppressors up and down, pathetic!
Like I said earlier, they all should thank God that this is Nigeria where you're not accountable for your criminal actions.

That is the point! They had no court order to detain him until after he had instituted this action for enforcement of his rights in the federal high court, they then went to secure an order from an FCT high court in flagrant abuse of judicial processes. They didn't inform the FCT high court of his pending suit against them in the federal high court.
In legal practice, the first in time prevails. Furthermore, human rights proceedings are given priority so the DSS has no basis for flouting a valid order of court other than to perpetrate impunity.

http://breaking.com.ng/nigeria/n11bn-stolen-oil-tanker-drivers-debunk-allegation-of-sabotage/

It is farfetched speculation to ask whether there were plans of protests especially when they have categorically denied same. U can only work with facts at ur disposal. Bottom line is that the DSS ought to obey the court and in fact shouldn't get involved in contractual issues between the NNPC and Capital oil. It's a purely civil case and any element of fraud is within the ambit of the EFCC.

gberra:
You've got to be alot smarter about this. I may have been a little behind News but I haven't seen a link or credible source corroborating your point. Could the tanker drivers attest to the DSS claim however genuine to the detriment of their paymaster?.

The tanker drivers that we know would deny any fact admissible against Ubah from whom they have so much to gain. Do you know a potential protest in favour of Ubah had been in the works before such was busted by the DSS?..

kenny you forgot to draw your daggers, hope you're in a blissful mood.

tobaseye:
I think Nigeria as a country cant be good again if Nigerians continue to support people alleged to have looted our treasury dry. What is our business with DSS not obeying court order when the man did not pity Nigerians and pocket our money.

It seem most of us don't know that the judges are working under duress and their lives might have be threaten for them to give a verdict in support of these our enemies of progress.

We should bear in mind that corruption always fight back and the only avenue they can use is to manipulate the judges...

Fashola said " May your loyalty not be tested" The loyalty of our judges are being tested big time and they don't have any choice that to yield to pressure except they want to die.Nobody want to die for Nigeria...

The annoying thing is that some of us that have never benefited from the loots will still be following people that have been paid to protect to make noise.

Lets be wise and support the fight against corruption......

Is the fight to be fought with the law or outside of it? Are security agencies to pick n choose what court orders to obey and which to disregard? If they treat the court with such contempt and levity, are they to expect such court to listen to them?
By what order of court have they remanded him in their custody without formal charge? Does the order to present him at the court hearing automatically translate to interference with the fight against corruption?
How are u so sure he pocketed money and is therefore guilty of whatever claim as u have asserted? Has he been adjudged by any court n found guilty?

gberra:
However we might conjecture, the fact remains sacrosanct. He was arrested over economic sabotage. He was found to have incited the petroleum tanker drivers to stop lifting products from the NNPC. As a citizen he owns no right to hold the economy into ransom.

Those same tanker drivers have debunked that accusation and made it clear that the DSS lied in that respect. It's been on the news...
