UrennaNkoli: Apart from the late Abubakir Tafawa Balewa, no other leader present or past has been more respected than Buhari. Sai Buhari. Nigeria, at this stage of her transformation to a modern society does not need respectable born to rule personalities, but strong institutions and a restructured polity. Corruption and bad leadership the country has been subjected to since independence has self evidently proven to be a structural issue and requires a structural adjustment for a balanced development period. Buhari cannot and will not apply systemic approach to these intractable problems facing the country, cos it will as they perceive, will disadvantage the North. GEJ till 2019!!!!!!! |

CHM11: I've noticed that Nairalanders based in the USA can write long epistles, couldn't even finish my igbo brother's comment. But I get his point. @bigfrancis21 nice point, but here's my view. Others do it doesn't make I right. Additionally, Nigeria is made up of major 3 regions. North west and east. The people in the North inter marry freely, fulani, gwarri, benue, hausa, Tiv etc....people in the west intermarry freely too, yoruba, egun, badagry, etc. But because tribes in the EAST are much, igbo's don't like marrying others and its justified because it favours them better.
I for example wouldn't want any of family member to marry an igbo man or woman, I'd rather marry a yoruba or even a fulani. This is because I have not had a good experience as regards the igbos I've encountered in life. All in all, igbos!!..marry yourselves, its good for you bcause other tribes will hardly understand your behavior and character. Complete rubbish: Marriages between Igbos and Yorubas are as high as ever. Marriages between Igbos and river line groups in the SS continues from generation to generation, but marriages between some groups like Fulanis or Kanuris are strictly prohibited based on religion and ethnicity, and that's where you need to focus your cynical and tribal motivated attention on. |

blackfase: Christian fighters voluteers arriving in Iraq to fight ISIS after the latest beheading of Egyptian christians. Read some of the comments below...aint it inspiring?
– ‘Foreign fighters’ battalion’ – Acting as a recruiter, Brett says he wants to establish a “foreign fighters’ battalion”. In his first week in charge, he brought in five volunteers from the United States, Britain and Canada, all of whom he says have military or contracting experience. The foreign contingent is tiny compared to the thousands of foreigners who have joined IS, but interest is growing and Brett says he has 20 more volunteers already lined up to join. Brett’s first recruit was Louis Park, a mild-mannered Texan who retired from the Marines in December. “I did not adjust well at peace time,” he said with dipping tobacco tucked in his lip. “I wanted to get back out here.” After serving in Afghanistan, Park says he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder “and some other things” that barred him from combat deployments. As early as October 2014, he began saving money to join the fight against IS. Park says he travelled to Iraq to continue defending his country, even though Dwekh Nawsha — with barely a few hundred fighters in its ranks — sees little frontline action. “I’m patriotic as hell,” he says. “If my government won’t fight them I will.” The growing contingent of foreign recruits have a variety of reasons for joining Dwekh Nawsha. Andrew, an older man from Ontario, Canada, came because he heard about “slaughterhouses” where IS allegedly cuts people up for organ trafficking. There is no evidence that such places exist but the rumour has been widely circulated by evangelical and anti-Islam organisations, especially in North America. A video showing the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians by IS in Libya released on Sunday and entitled “A message signed with blood to the nation of the cross” sparked a fresh surge of calls on social media for tougher Western action. Remember the history of the Christain Crusaders or the Night templars. They chased islam out of Europe and crushed them in Jerusalem. In this new world, I see Nigerian and other African Christians joining in the New Crusade. |

BUHARI- OSINBAJO 2015. Believe me, you're dead wrong on this one. GEJ understands clearly, the matrix in the dialectic, if you know what I mean. Let me break it down for you. You remember the voices of opposition of how weak he was in tackling insecurity, you remember too well, how some external NGOs were condemning his policies as human rights violation, what about Northern leaders, who see military actions against boko haram as attack against the North. Remember the restrictions on the government buying weapons to fight the insurgency or APC using insecurity as their #1 campaign slogan against GEJ. Oh well, all that are about to change in the next 3 wks, cos GEJ, under the cover of AU and ECOWAS mandate will throw at boko haram every capability the Nigerian army has. In this election critical period the moves in the great game is simple. Any voice of opposition within this critical period will take away from their position(votes). If they remain mute, as expected, GEJ will decimate boko haram to prove that he is not clueless or weak, which will lead to his land slide victory. He understands the matrix in the dialectic.

Politics › Re: Mbu’s Order To Policemen To Kill Barbaric, Lawless – APC by knowledgeable: 8:41pm On Feb 14, 2015 |
Skako: The All Progressives Congress has described the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, Joseph Mbu, as a lawless and barbaric policeman, who should urgently be cautioned by his boss before he starts “another around of his trade-mark nihilism in his new posting.” In a statement in Lagos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Mbu’s actions since he was posted to Lagos had neither dignified the police as an institution nor portrayed him as a well-trained law enforcement agent. It said the temperament, comportment, utterances and actions of Mbu, as a very senior police officer, were capable of inciting mass killings, violence and anarchy. APC added, ”Since his posting to the Zone 2 Command, this contumacious policeman has exhibited an egregious act of lawlessness by barging through the Lekki Toll Plaza without paying toll and then ordering the arrest of policemen and workers at the Plaza. Is it not an irony that a man, who is trained to enforce the law, is the same, who is breaking the law? ”But that action, as bad as it was, pales into insignificance when compared to his most recent statement in which he was basically inciting the police against the citizenry and encouraging the killing of civilians. It is sheer irresponsibility for a senior policeman to say that for every policeman, who is killed during the election, he will kill 20 civilians. ”Lest we are misunderstood, our party will never condone the killing of police personnel or of any law enforcement agent for whatever reason, just as we will not condone the killing of any innocent Nigerian. If a senior police officer does not know how to convey to his officers and men that they should protect themselves while also avoiding extra-judicial killing of any citizen, then the funds spent in training him have been wasted.” The party said such language as ‘fire-for-fire’ , ‘If one of my men is killed, I shall kill twenty of them’ or ‘you have the power to stop the Governor’ is inappropriate, inciting and barbaric, especially under a democratic dispensation, and most unbecoming of a senior law enforcement agent. APC said Mbu should be held solely responsible for any violence or killing of innocent citizens before, during and after the elections in the area under his command.
http://www.punchng.com/news/mbus-order-to-policemen-to-kill-barbaric-lawless-apc/ Lai Mohammed use of the word mass killing is nothing but a code word on genocide against Igbos if Mbu steps beyond a perceived limit. All this reactions about Mbu’s statement is all about his ethnicity mix with politics. This tribal outburst against Mbu is similar to rejection of GEJ cos of his tribe. Hausa and Yoruba IGs and AIGs are posted to SE & SS all day long with no negative reactios towards them. Some yorubas and hausas using APC as a vehicle to unjustly denied a second term for an Ijaw man cos of his tribe knowing fully well that he tried his best in every sector of the economy except in security where again, he's been sabotage to look week cos of his tribe. You reject Aig Mbu, Igbos yet you won't let them go, you don't want GEJ to complete a second term while you and hausa/fulani had it for almost 40yrs but you still want their oil. You have refused a regional government for all most 30 yrs and you still wondering how we got to this point. GEJ till 2019!!!!!!. |

The most supporters of this present administration are the Igbo's. They see this as an opportunity for them to avenge what was done to them during the civil war. They never blamed Ojukwu who started a suicide mission and ran to ivory coast leaving them to their fate. This is why they will never see anything good in Buhari even if GEJ does nothing, they are contented.
THEY ARE HAPPY THE ELECTION WAS POSTPONED. THEY ARE SO EASY TO DECEIVE. GEJ fooled the igbos with Azikwe and promise of a bridge that's still on paper. They see GEJ as the closest they can get to aso rock. voting him is their way of flexing their political muscle but we shall put them to shame.
Had APC presented Fashola, Atiku or Kwankwaso , they will still find reasons to vote for GEJ and label Apc candidates bad. This hate is not about buhari, it's the way they feel they can get revenge for refusing to allow them form their Biafran territory. The Igbos believe another 4 years of GEJ presidency might bring about the end of Nigeria. Their selfish motive is to establish Biafra. They call Yoruba's slave to the North and all sort of names. They are a petty tribe. Its unfortunate the disunity of this country originates from their region. They call for disintegration of the country but you will find them in every parts of the country selling fake drugs and fake goods produced in aba. They can't stay in their eastern region yet they want biafra. they even claim to own Lagos and its no mans land. Let's assume the country was divided today, will lagos be in the biafran map empty chest beaters. no wonder you find their people on death row all over Asia due to drug trafficking. instead of voting for a competent government, they prefer to suffer and resort to crimes for living. they are sadists, they travel home on 31/12 and return back on 02/01 and still hate such land that host their businesses.

##March4Buhari [/b] I believe you are honest in your thoughts and expressions, but the organic truth is that GEJ to his supporters has become a symbolic figure for the marginalized and disfranchised Nigerians, notably, Niger Deltans, Southeastners SS, Middle belters and pockets of Christian communities in the far North. These groups and some Yorubas who are oblivious of this truth have being calling for restructuring in order to have a balanced political structure for sustainable development, but to no avail. Truth be told, Buhari has no business coming out for election based on the above realities. The South have the highest pool of expatriate diaspora population to change the fortune of this country over night, while Buhari people have the highest pool of terrorists to destroy this country over night. I prefer a leader from the side of those who create nollywood, repatriate hard currency, and import good, technology, services and ideas that will change Nigeria to a group, which we always hear of, Fulani herdsmen killing and burning towns or boko haram bombing and killing innocent civilians.

When Enugu state governor was sick, some people faught tooth and nail to ensure that the deputy who was said to be an 'oru' did not assume the position of governor. Former minister of power, prof Barth Nnaji was removed from office partly as a result of gang ups from those who saw his ppolitical success as threat because he was believed to be an 'oru'.

Yorubas defend the Hausas at times, but the igbos will call them slaves.
So all evidence points to one tribe as the troublemakers. Yoruba logic is the problem in Nigeria. Mr upside down logic, how can Igbos that are being slaughtered in the first instance in most Northern states with no provocation be the tribe of trouble makers. The hausas do not like igbos base on religious ground, and they kill them. Igbos now insult them with their mouths, and the yorubas defend the hausa actions and call Igbos trouble makers. In this scenario, the hausas see yorobbers as slavishly defending them in situations that are logically self explained. |
