politricks:
Nobody tempted him, pride was what made him what he is today.

Is it pride? I don't think so, rather lust for power, ambition to be like the most high God and the last but not the least is questioning the authority of God by asking Eve "Has God said" thereby portraying God as a liar and one who is too obsessed with power that he don't want to share it with another.

Forget that entity who has sworn to deny mankind their eternal destiny because he lost his.

Who tempted the devil?


The Devil desire to be like the most high God still subsists hence the promise he made to Jesus, to him all the glory of the world should bow down and worship him.

FisifunKododada:
Learn how to read and comprehend. I have addressed those two questions in my original post. It is easy to anticipate the questions of intellectual midgets.

You came up with molue conjecture and beer parlour gossips and you want a research expert to consider those foul hypothesis without scientific input.

Wonders they say shall never end.

Is there any southeast state less than Lagos in landmass?

Is there any state in Nigeria with population, economy, infrastructure and development bigger than Lagos State?

As you can see, there is no wisdom in your submission, if you honestly answer those questions above.

FisifunKododada:
OP you have raised a valid point however none of the posters have given you the MAIN reason.

MAIN reason: Geography and demographics. The Igbos are the 3rd largest (by population) tribe in Nigeria YET the entire 5 Igbo states is just roughly the size (geographically) of OYO state in SW Nigeria. Do you even realize that states like Plateau, Niger and Bauchi (for example) are like TWICE the ENTIRE SE region? Please, don't take my words for it. Get a map of Nigeria and take a look for yourself. The Igbos are many but they don't have land to accommodate their teeming masses. Consequently, the laws of diffusion takes over and the migration is from the SE to other regions and not the other way around. Now, some people will say but Lagos has the highest population density in Nigeria so why are Yorubas not migrating from Lagos in mass the way Igbos are from SE. The answer is simple. Lagos is a Yoruba land with lots of opportunities that the SE does not possess. And the trend is gonna continue. Every year hundreds of thousands of Igbos are gonna leave their overpopulated region to look for greener pastures in other parts of Nigeria, mainly SW.

So the question is why is it that the Igbos have such a small geographical region relative to their population? Well the answer is that their ancestors were very lazy and were not organized. While the ancestors of the Yorubas and Fulanis were conquering and expanding empires the Igbo ancestors were just scratching their balls, eating akpu in their little mud houses.

Nigeria is the GREATEST thing to ever happen to Igbos. That is why when the IPOB touts shout Biafra, the smart/successful Igbos looke at them and hiss. The day Igbos are all forced back to their 5-state region is the day their race will begin to become extinct. Overpopulation coupled with very little opportunities will lead inexorably to their doom.

Also, have you ever wondered why Igbos ALWAYS include OTHER tribes in their Biafra? Because Igbos are not as dumb as they look. Even they know that their new country will NEVER work without including the land of other tribes.

There are other factors (like most Nigerians would prefer a non-Igbo neighbor to an Igbo one etc.) but geography/demographics are the MAIN factors.

Sincerely,
Capt. Fisifun.

meccuno:
its like you want the amount used in buying a loaf of bread to weigh more than the bread itself? GEJ fell out with the US because he went to the east and neglected the west......a cold war with the US is a battle we can't win. We would come out worse than hiroshima

The worst is that we don't have capable hands in this government that know the acts and tricks involved in playing this game. They are just spectators, that's why Adeosun was looking at Christine Laggard as one being from outer space during her visit to Nigeria few days ago.

The reason given in this article (refusal to devalue the Naira) is secondary.


Nigeria was reported to World Trade Organization in November, 2015 by not less than nine countries which included The United States and the European Union on Forex restriction and ban on importation of luxurious & domestic goods including agricultural produce.

It looks like WTO is not giving their concerns accelerated hearing hence the indirect diplomatic sabotage and un-pronounced economic sanctions.

The question now is, what cards do Nigeria have to play to save itself from the West?

Why have the moderators refrained from closing this thread and banning the Op?

See reason and excuse given for banning Lady Excellence by a mod. I don't believe the reason was genuine rather a cover for Igbophobia especially when it got to do with intelligent Igbo ladies.

Nnamdi Kanu Charged With Treasonable
Felony By FG - Politics - Nairaland

www.nairaland.com/2816585/nnamdi-kanu-charged-treasonable-felony

a moderator banned LadyExcellency for "Biafra of my forefathers will never die and Nigeria knows that of a certain, delay is not denial " promoting biafra. violation of rule 9. Ban expires at December 29, 2015 at 07:33:24 AM.

The mods are all out looking for reasons to either ban Rose2014, LadyExcellency or Mizmycoli.

Shymm3x:
What is "tribalistic resentment"? And what's "tribalistic" in citing the behavioural pattern of a group without denigrating them? Also, where's the "resentment" in what he said?

You lot just have this nauseating habit of playing the victim card with everything like wussies and no one can critique/cite anything about Igbo without you lot coming out like a wolf-pack to attack folks. Why do Igbos hate the truth?

The thugs that threatened the man ought to be shot dead. These folks can't keep intimidating everyone. They are soft.

Is like you are under the influence of marijuana before quoting my comment.

London misfit trying to justify a learned tout whose hate exposed the savagery in him. You're here justifying the same profiling the blacks are fighting against in western countries.

Don't quote me again as I can see living in UK didn't override the hate in your DNA.

Don't quote my comment again.

Is this one among the Learned?




See how tribalistic resentment can reduce a man to rubbles.

No learned Igbo man have time for you. So better register a moniker on Nairaland and join forces with Barcanista to engage your colleagues of like minds to debate the trash you opined.

May be, who knows, seun and the mods will ban you for insulting fellow Nairalander if you misbehave and lose your civility.

Stop glossing over a known truth. Ahmed Tinubu, the drug baron won't pay you a dime for sycophancy. He is a drug criminal.

How did Former Treasurer Of Mobil and Drug Trafficker Tinubu Acquire His Wealth?

www.nairaland.com/2672321/how-did-former-treasurer-mobil#39116417

duwdu:
You're vermin and a shameless lair. Tinubu was never indicted for any drug-related offense anywhere in the US, much less convicted or pardoned. If you have any credence to self-respect, you will point to just one credible link to a US government agency where Tinubu was ever/is listed as indicted or a convict.

There're several US agencies that keep public records on convicts, even online, yet you won't be able to find any on Tinubu, because it simply doesn't exist. Show us just one, and I promise to produce a response from an arm of the US government that will show it as fake or a forgery.

So, I repeat, you're a nasty liar spreading unjustified hate and false information all over this forum.

Why don't you instead get a decent life? Why this unjustified, morbid hate for anything Tinubu?

Haba!

IamPatriotic:
I understand your frustration and obsession with Tinubu, that isn't issue at stake now....I'm are if you had objectively read my comment, you'll see phrases like "not perfect" and "bad eggs" but unfortunately, you can't see clearly because you are with a fixed opinion, but also a child of hate...

IamPatriotic:
IF there is one thing I cherish most outside my family, it's my Yoruba heritage, though we're not perfect and there are bad eggs in our midst like in all other ethnicities, but we know how to place a line between moral decadence and ethnic megalomania.

How can we believe this junk you spewed when a known Drug Baron who received clemency from US after forfeiting all proceeds from his drug business is still worshiped in Southwest and APC? If not for plea bargain what would've become of Tinubu today.

All these people mentioned in the Dasukigate are saints compared to Ahmed Tinubu. So stop being clever by half.

Between Pa Olu Falae and Ahmed Tinubu, who is a confirmed criminal?

abduljabbar4:
Go to court! If you have anything against any APC member bring evidence! What's hard in their?

Bye bye.

Limit yourself with people operating at the level of your intelligent quotient to avoid showcasing (exposing) your acquired intellectual deficiencies syndrome (AIDS).

Which court? Who will be the prosecutor? This time the usual government prosecutor will pull out like they did in Sylva's case.

Do these APC Yam Eaters think we are all gullible?


Continue enjoying your immunity bought with Rivers State treasury you used in matching Atiku's dollar with Rivers State dollar to ensure Buhari's victory in both APC and general Presidential elections

Any news, has Prof returned the cash gift?
Is he still blowing grammar to intimidate his critics?

We need an update

bokohalal:
WS just mentioned your type in his statement.

My type is classy and adorable hence you're not making any sense.

Please, take your hero worship to the dungeon and drop your opinion on his submission as stated or get lost if you've none.

Are you a gossip? Why picking on me.

As Prof may want you to know, Intelligence resides with my generation and I intend to exercise it fully by asking questions, which I just did and proffering solutions to problems when needed. I have the comparative advantage.

People are confessing how much they received from $2.1 billion Dasukigate.

Oga Prof, tell us how large or small was your package or better still return the cash gift and clear your name.

It is inhuman for you to support such flamboyant expenses splashed on you by a government owing his people their monthly salary at the time such honour was done on you.
You've eaten blood money.

Speaking grammar won't save your reputation this time better than doing the needful which is vomiting the yam you ate.

Whynotthetruth:
1)I simply decided to cut my sabbatical just for today to warn you...Who do you think you can deceive?...How smart do you think you're?...

2)Why not insult Mizmycoli directly than getting on issues that has no bearing on the discussion at hand in this thread...or is your shadow pushing you already

3)Don't ever try ditching the truth to make us look bad again publicly or I will come for you, either my tribe or SCN(though not a member)...Remember, I am an insider ...Firefire warn him Sir...

4)Why not open a thread to warn her or blackmail her? What has Truckpusher or Passingshot got with this issue? Why copy them?...I watched you last time in silence blackmail Dearpreye using same tactics...

5)I see you trying to soak into Ngeneukwenu & co nowadays... I thought you vowed always ignore them here?...What happened? Plotting on how to move in again with them now?...smh...You think Biafra agitation provided a window for you to jump in with them again; hence you're providing threads to support them?... Maybe you need to check the dictionary meaning of sycophancy and political jobbers again since you have reputation to protect...

6)Don't insult me or my own people and enjoy your peace...Flaunt this and we Unclad ourselves here...

Thanks and happy new year broda...My best wishes as always but truth must always prevail in our dealings...

Booked for reference purposes.

I am aware he attended the last National Youth PDP meeting and he was promised a role in rebranding the party and some commensurate benefits.

But I still don't know what went wrong along the line. May be I need to ask Joe for details.

obailala:
Is that the marginalisation you talk about?... Not rebuilding infrastructure after 45 years?... By the help of God, have Igbos not been able to rebuild and even surpass other regions of the nation in terms of human and capital development?... Taking away Lagos which was a former FCT and which is being developed by individual nigerians from all tribes, and taking away Abuja which is the current FCT, which region in Nigeria is better than the SE?

In terms of marginalisation, is the SE more marginalised by the SS?... With the exception of Lagos and Abuja, can you kindly point out anywhere in Nigeria which clearly and conspicuously has more federal presence to warrant this constant lamentation of marginalisation of SE?

Stop deceiving yourself and accept the fact that the marginaliztion of Southeast is not only systematic but premeditated.

How much was budgeted for rehabilitation of Ijaaw militants in 2016? N30 billion.

You see, there is no sugarcoating of the fact that the issues affecting what Southeast gets arouses envy, strife and hatred by other regions hence the unity in badmouthing the region. Ask them to support 2nd Niger Bridge and see pure antagonism and flimsy excuses why it shouldn't be and some will even ask SE Governors to pickup the bills.

Even common Enugu "pseudo" international airport is being sabotaged hence the hatred on Stella Oduah.

Accept the reality, Southeast is marginalized.


**NB: I just read your submissions on this thread and see that you are a frustrated and insecure bigot. Thank you for wasting my valuable time responding to a savage.

obailala:
Going by your definition of marginalisation, can you kindly mention one region of Nigeria which is not equally marginalised?

Southeast was bombed and leveled to stone-age during the civil war and an agreement for reconstruction was signed in 1970 by FG and it is still being awaited till today.

Northeast is being terrorized by bokoharam and many of their infrastructures destroyed, the government just borrowed $2.1 billion from world bank for its reconstruction even before the war has ended. Consequently, committee has just been setup for its realization.

Instead of rebuilding Southeast after the civil war, Abuja was built in the North while the Third Mainland Bridge, the National Theatre, the international airport, and so on, were built in the West.

Now tell me when the reconstruction and rehabilitation of Southeast will commence as signed by FG in 1970 after the war.

babyfaceafrica:
No tribe is marginalized or all tribes are marginalizd,all you hav written can also be liken to other regions

Why interchange tribe with region?

Igbos may not be marginalized from your assumptions but Southeast as a region is maginalized development-wise.

How about a centenary city in Enugu or Owerri for a start?

Igbos are not asking for N5000 every month for any category of its people far from it rather a federal presence in form of partial administrative or commercial or investment headquarters.

TonyeBarcanista:
One thing I love about you is your skill in holding me by the balls. Of a truth the Igbo nation is marginalised, same with the Ijaws, Efik, Hausa Yoruba etc. (I will do an article where I will articulate it).

It is true that the Igbo nation deserve more than what she's getting from Nigeria State. Same with others! The problem is that the system that we operate on is so lopsided and place everyone at the mercy of whoever is in center. God knows that I will never support injustice and marginalisation. Personally, if I was alive and advocate after the civil war, I would have pressed for the 3Rs to be implemented more than supporting Ekweme to be VP. Just as I would have preferred restructured system than GEJ's presidency. We are being marginalised by the system. The system is what we should tackle instead of beating about the bush

All these jargons you wrote are inconsequential to my argument.

Reparation for the civil war is the only thing we asked for. A post civil war Reconstruction and Rehabilitation will be the answer.

How about building a centenary city in Enugu or Owerri to start with? You see, 50% of our young men and ladies should be home after schooling than migrating to Portharcourt, Abuja, Lagos etc.

Get my gist and stop this generalization.

Remember, the acknowledgment of injustice against the Southeast region emanating from the prosecution of the war of genocide to deprivation and afterwards is very important, even without any reconstruction, this will diffuse tensions in the region than you can ever imagine.

The same people that came for chibok girls whose only achievement then was velifying our military and security forces.

If there is no gain, forget US. This is their foreign policy. They will want Nigeria to divorce chinese who are better than them 100 times in extending developmental support and technology transfer.

TonyeBarcanista:
See me se wahala o, shey I de alive during the civil war? It is over 48years since the war. We had an Igboman as VP for 4years between 1979 and 1983. He couldn't press for the 3Rs. We had Igbo SGF for 5years, yet no one pressed. We had Igbo as Vice (to IBB), yet nothing. I think we have to move on and advocate for restructured that will usher development instead of placing hopes on the FG.

You are being unreasonable coming up with these flimsy excuses as a defense.

What effects do VPs and SGF have in policies of FG where the parliament impedes any developmental project meant for Southeast?

Thank GEJ for upgrading Enugu Airport to pseudo international status which couldn't ever has been and he could've done more if not for the fears of the North and West.


I just want you to agree that Southeast has been and is still being marginalized and this acknowledgment will be the start of a remarkable healing process.

See the politics they come up with to stop second Niger Bridge

ABUJA–The on going construction of a second Niger bridge may be placed on hold until the integrity of the bridge is sorted out, the Federal government said Wednesday.

Reasons ranging from the actual cost of the bridge, non issuance of the Certificate of Compliance, non compensation of the host community and non adherence to due process in the award of contract were also responsible for the stoppage.

The disclosure was made by the Director-General, DG of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, ICRC, Aminu Diko after a private meeting with president Mohammadu buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.

omonnakoda:
what infrastructure was there in the first place.tell us

Have you ever seen the pictures of Onitsha, Enugu, Aba, Umuahia and Owerri before the war?



Hate filled and evil minded bigot like you deserve no response.

Help your curiosity with these few pictures of Onitsha
before the war which none remained after the war (whether standing or moving)

Onitsha

CharlesPhc:
First of all, the past tense of shake is not 'shaked' or whatever you have as your caption.
Secondly, when you said they 'exchanged hands' am still wondering WTH that means...!!!

@ exchanged hands.

You be winch

Na legs they suppose exchange to give Gov Okorocha the only thing that has eluded him in this life as to help him "overtake" Amaechi in acrobatic dancing performance.

TonyeBarcanista:
This is a wonderful move. The North-East must be rebuilt.

And Southeast nko?

You see how bigotry and envy destroyed the humanity in you when the issues of Igbos are mentioned.

Tell me now that southeast is not marginalized and that even those innocent women and children who were terrorized during the civil war brought the calamity on themselves and deserved abandonment after the war till this day irrespective of the 3Rs signed to take effect immediately from 1970 and afterwards.

eagleeye2:
This one na lamentations. Forget these people, and focus on self development. Even if they turn the North to Dubai, Ab0ki na still Ab0ki.

Don't misunderstand me, I support this program 100% and wish that the reconstruction is fast tracked to help those indigent IDP refugees to have their lives back better than pre-bokoharam terrorism in 2007.

It is heartbreaking and worthy of compassion seeing what my fellow humans pass through in those camps as a result of actions and reactions that are not fault of theirs.

Had Northeast been Southeast, the reconstruction will be done outside the place the war took place specifically Lagos, Kaduna and Abuja

When will Southeast be reconstructed instead of these venomous hate and envy against the region?

Imagine a civil war veteran asking what Southeast wants when they cry of marginaliztion knowing fully well that everything the moved and stood tall were leveled to the ground as a punishment rather than rules of engagement.

Where is the reconstruction, rehabilitation and re-integration signed in 1970 to be carried out throughout Eastern Region?

TonyeBarcanista:
This guy again. While I posted the words of the Judge as reported by Thisday, you are sensationalising yourself with the words of a journalist. Sorry though, I know how it feels.


You guys should pray for Kanu and mobilise good lawyers for his case. Barcanista is the least of your problem.


Happy New Year 2016 Bro....

Get lost mr man, go and read the judgment again, the one handed to Kanu's lawyer to be precise.

Intelligence is proactive and doesn't dwell on emotions. When Premiumtimeng journalist put it to President Buhari during Presidential media chat on the flagrant disobedience of Court orders by agencies under his watch, he wasn't speaking of his opinion rather the submissions of majority of the bars and legal luminaries.

Whatever a nobody like you think is inconsequential to international views on the fallout of these abnormalities orchestrated by the despotic defiance of our born-again tyrant in a constitutional democracy.

Address me properly next time you quote my comment. Is like you have disdain for intelligent ladies challenging you and exposing the intellectual fraud you exhibit through obfuscation and unrefined hypothesis?

omenka:
Rule 8: Don't post false information on Nairaland.

Mynd44, please take down this thread and ban the Op for a gross violation of the aforementioned Rule.

These are bodies whose pronouncements/statements bear a lot of importance as they affect the polity. Clearly, this op seeks to misinform the public with this thread as no such statement has been issued by any of the bodies.

What a shameless means of gaging opposing views.

Like Buhari, like his sycophants.

Rose2014:
I think He's just begging to return to APC

I read the judgment over and over to see his point and couldn't decipher his entire encryption unless I was to read meaning into his motive.

Here is the pronouncement of the honourable judge below as captured by many media outlets both print and online platforms.

"While the case against him continues" there is a reason for the use of "case" instead of "cases" which means "sum total" of any breach of law he has committed.

Federal court grants Nnamdi Kanu unconditional release

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday granted the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, bail, the News Agency of Nigeria is reporting.

Ruling on his bail application, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, said Mr. Kanu, who is the director of pirate station, Radio Biafra, should be released unconditionally while the case against him continues.
