Willy7: This is the plain and bitter truth. I wonder how the very people that shamelessly abandoned the man even before his death are now rushing to feast on his memory and legacy. MKO fought and died alone. Nobody should even claim to be for him today. Everyone, including family abandoned this man and started romancing with the evil regime that incaserated him and the one that eventually killed him. Please where is that spirit that slapped Rochas, we have some job for him/her.
People like Babagana Kingibe should be removed from that list. And Humphrey Nwosu the former INEC Chairman who refused to announce the winner, should also be excluded. Kingibe betrayed Abiola even though he was Abiola's running mate and went on to serve in Abacha's govt. As for Nwosu, the less said about him, the better. He lacked the balls and forthrightness of Attahiru Jega, and rubbished the whole 1993 election result. .
kelib: Baba fashola pls come n answer us o. Pls can someone tell me one benefit of Nigeria to AKS 1. Power plant-built by AKSG 2. Airport-built by AKSG 3. Stadium-built by AKSG 4. Almost all the federal roads in akwa abasi ibom state are built by AKSG 5. Specialist hospital - built by AKSG 6. Proposed ibaka sea port, still going to be built by AKSG via PPP cos for the look of things d fed government does not have time for d sea port cos apapa is OK for them. Yet we r d number 1 oil producing state, yet the most suffered state in d hands of Nigerian govt from 1987 to date
See dis man. Mbok, Instead of you to thank God for the proactive governors you have had till date, who have invested massively in creating good infrastructure for your state, you are here lamenting about small issues. Ok, at least you have a stadium, airport, power plant and roads, whereas there are some states that have nothing compared to what you have. What do you want people of Kogi, Niger, Nasarawa and Kwara state to say? Do you want them to cry or lament about their ill luck, in being blessed with clueless governors that cannot add any form of value to their citizens, or their state?
obekediamondfuto: nah, he ain't got balls... he ain't no realer.!!
u make threats and cry like a baby? before u start a fight, weigh the available outcomes....... that 7th na small pikin.
im for continue with the threat,
A man should be able to complete whatever he started, or end it like a man!! not like a crying baby.
is it because there was a recording?? what would have been the outcome if Gazuzz didn't record..... he'd be like.... I don show them..... hu is he showing.
the lesson here is not for the baby7th, On the contrary sef.... it's for all those other guys with similar intent, plotting and scheming in their respective whatsapp groups ... forgetting that there might be a way to recover those messages
kwantinue
Take am easy, nah! The guy has apologised, and has shown remorse. Can't you read his body language? So why are you stirring the pot of trouble, so that both of them can continue the fight for your entertainment? Why are you threatening fire and brimstone, over dis matter? Oya, if it is a fight you want to watch, I command you to go and provoke Seun or challenge any of the mods to a free-for-all, right now
Na Cosplay go do referee for una for dis side. Me, I go just perch collect gate fee for this corner. Now, let the games....oh sorry, let the fights begin!
Xtianart: Behind every successful man, there's a woman....bla bla bla (the woman making him good food?). Being a good cook determines a wife material? Virtually all successful chefs in the world are men. Women aren't born with the cooking gene.
If all Michelle Obama had to offer her husband is sex and good food, I don't think Obama would have made it. If you want to argue this, go and get your facts straight first.
As a wife, if all you can do is be the commander in chief at the kitchen and waiting on the bed to be screwed all night, it's a shame.
What the post is saying is getting a woman that will add value to your life. You might have lots of money and still be poor. A man's wealth isn't measured by what he has but who he is.
Kponkwem! You talk am well! Gimme one hi-five for there....!
gz87: Aftermath of TY Danjuma's comment and if the security should make an attempt to cut Danjuma to seize over his inflammatory remarks some idiot will come here to start saying rubbish. Bunch of ethno-religious bigot..! What a country
There was absolutely NOTHING WRONG with what Danjuma said. The herdsmen had been ransacking different communities in the Middle belt for a long time and killing them, while the security agencies did NOTHING! Should Danjuma have advised them to continue sitting down and twiddling their thumbs, while waiting to be killed? Honestly, you are very funny.... but forgive us for not laughing.
Apina: What is dangerous is when people like you who know nothing act like smart asses. So they must be under the same roof until d divorce is granted before she can leave cos her hands and legs will be tied there. People leave their matrimonial homes, some are even chased out without a divorce so what sense do u think u are making based on ur divorce analysis?
Where did you get your statistics from to have come to a conclusion that most women make excuses for their cheating husbands? Stop being myopic by trying to make ur conjectures seem like the norm, you can only speak about what you think you know and not using ur limited knowledge as a yardstick
Sorry sir, but the only ass on this thread is just you. And thank God, everyone can read and they have seen it. Talk to any fully qualified psychologist. They will tell you that no woman files for a divorce immediately she encounters or experiences an abusive situation the first time, at the hands of her husband. The abuse must have gone on repeatedly for ages, before she finally plucks up courage to apply for a divorce. Others make excuses for such husbands and continue to stay in the marriage, until they get so emotionally damaged or physically brutalised that it is impossible to continue with their lives.
Do you remember the banker Titilayo Omozoje Arowolo, that was killed by her abusive husband Akolade Arowolo in 2011? Or the case of late Fatima Ibrahim Manu who was killed by her husband Umar Manu in 2016? Google it. Abuse can go both ways in a marriage. A man can also be abused by his wife, and even get killed in the process. Mr Bilyamin Muhammed Bello, son of a former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Haliru Bello, was allegedly stabbed to the death by his wife, Maryam Sanda. Were the lives of these deceased people, not ruined by their spouses?
Many women make excuses for cheating husbands, especially in Nigeria. You can decide to play the ostrich, by claiming it does not happen. Na you sabi. Many of them do not want to have a broken home, either because they have children for the man, or because they are financially dependent on such men. Nigerian society also stigmatises single mums to a certain extent, and some women do not want to go through that. This is not America, where a woman can automatically move out of her matrimonial home today, file for divorce tomorrow and is automatically granted alimony, once the case comes up in court.
My neighbour is a classic case. She suffered abuse for years at the hands of her husband, who eventually left her for someone else, after he had disfigured her with several beatings. That was when she finally filed for divorce. He had already wrecked her life by then. So Oga, educate yourself before you start talking about things you do not know!
CHEATING, BUT NOT LEAVING | By Sarah Morgan | Despite all the chatter about the death of monogamy, some couples are deciding to remain married — even after one spouse cheats on the other. According to a recent study by researchers at Indiana University, nearly 1 in 5 women and almost 1 in 4 men in monogamous relationships reported having cheated. It’s unclear exactly how many knew that their significant other strayed, though infidelity rates have held fairly steady over time — while divorce rates peaked in the 1980s. These days, couples and therapists say, infidelity is much more survivable than many of us think.
A growing group of therapists is now working to help couples recognize and process these different feelings when one partner drifts but the couple decides to stick it out together. One change they’ve noticed in recent years is how much people tend to expect from their partners — and how much it can hurt when they learn of their spouse’s cheating ways. “We tend to want our partner to be everything — our best friend, our confidant, our lover, our financial partner,” says Elana Katz, a family therapist and senior faculty member at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York. But most people have fewer confidants today than they did in the past, and because expectations are higher, when an affair comes to light, it can be very alarming, Katz says. https://www.ozy.com/fast-forward/cheating-but-not-leaving/38322
Eight Reasons Women Stay in Abusive Relationships | by Jason Whiting |
When NFL linebacker Ray Rice knocked his fiancée Janay Palmer unconscious in an elevator in 2014, it didn't initially get much attention. He was accused of domestic violence and suspended for two games. After a few weeks, he was formally charged, but he and Palmer were married the next day.
However, when a security video of the event surfaced, it quickly went viral. Watching Janay Palmer get knocked down and roughly dragged out of the elevator by Rice had a powerful effect on viewers. The waves of outrage that followed caused the NFL to scramble to increase their punishment of Ray Rice and conduct an internal review of their domestic violence policies.
Things took an interesting turn when Janay Palmer spoke out in defense of her husband. She apologized at a press conference saying: “I deeply regret the role I played that night,” and later asked people to stop their judgments and accusations. “Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is,” she posted on Instagram, asking others to not take anything from the man she loves.
This provoked a new public response. Incredulous observers could not understand how Palmer could be standing by her man. The attacks now turned toward her, with commenters questioning her sanity, innocence, and motives. Why would someone stay with, let alone defend a man who had knocked her unconscious? What was wrong with Palmer that she would do this?
These accusations and questions prompted a pushback. Victims and women’s advocates spoke out in defense of Palmer and described the complicated dilemmas women in violent relationships face. Beverly Gooden, a human resources manager in North Carolina, started a hashtag on Twitter, #WhyIstayed, where she shared her reasons for remaining in a violent marriage. “I tried to leave the house once after an abusive episode, and he blocked me,” Gooden said, later adding: “I thought that love would conquer all.” Her hashtag became a rallying point, with hundreds of victims posting their stories of the factors that kept them in abusive relationships.
As domestic violence researchers, we were curious how these posts could help professionals and public observers better understand the unique challenges victims of domestic violence face. With colleague Jaclyn Cravens, and doctoral student Rola Aamar, I examined these voices to see what could be learned. We collected hundreds of posts from women all over the world and read, coded, and sorted them, publishing these findings in 2015. Through this analysis, we identified eight main reasons women stay in abusive relationships:
Distorted Thoughts: Being controlled and hurt is traumatizing, and this leads to confusion, doubts, and even self-blame. Perpetrators harass and accuse victims, which wears them down and causes despair and guilt. For example, women shared: “I believed I deserved it,” and, “I was ashamed, embarrassed, and blamed myself because I thought I triggered him.” Others minimized the abuse as a way to cope with it, saying: “[I stayed] because I didn’t think that emotional and financial abuse was really abuse. Because words don’t leave bruises,’’ and, “Because I didn’t know what my boyfriend did to me was rape.”
Damaged Self-Worth: Related was the damage to the self that is the result of degrading treatment. Many women felt beaten down and of no value, saying: “He made me believe I was worthless and alone,” and, “I felt I had done something wrong and I deserved it.”
Fear: The threat of bodily and emotional harm is powerful, and abusers use this to control and keep women trapped. Female victims of violence are much more likely than male victims to be terrorized and traumatized. One said: “I was afraid of him…I knew he’d make leaving an ugly drawn out nightmare.” Attempting to leave an abuser is dangerous. One woman felt trapped because of her husband’s “threats of hunting me down and harming all my loved ones including our kids while I watched and then killing me.”
Wanting to be a Savior: Many described a desire to help, or love their partners with the hopes that they could change them: “I believed I could love the abuse out of him.” Others described internal values or commitments to the marriage or partner, with tweets like: “I thought I would be the strong one who would never leave him and show him loyalty. I would fix him and teach him love.” Others had pity and put their partner’s needs above their own: “His father died, he became an alcoholic and said that God wouldn’t want me to leave him because he needed me to make him better.”
Children: These women also put their children first, sacrificing their own safety: “I was afraid if he wasn’t beating me he would beat his kids. And I valued their lives more than my own.” And, “I stayed for 20 years while I protected our children, all while I was being abused.” Others mentioned staying to benefit the children: “I wanted my son to have a father.”
Family Expectations and Experiences: Many posted descriptions of how past experiences with violence distorted their sense of self or of healthy relationships: “I watched [my dad] beat my mom. Then I found someone just like dad,” or, “Because raised by animals, you partner with wolves.” Some mentioned family and religious pressures: “My mother told me God would disown me if I broke my marriage.”
Financial Constraints: Many referred to financial limitations, and these were often connected to caring for children: “I had no family, two young children, no money, and guilt because he had brain damage from a car accident.” Others were unable to keep jobs because of the abuser’s control or their injuries, and others were used financially by their abuser: “[My] ex racked up thousands of debt in my name.”
Isolation: A common tactic of manipulative partners is to separate their victim from family and friends. Sometimes this is physical, as one woman experienced: “I was literally trapped in the backwoods of WV, and he would use my little boy to keep me close.” Other times isolation is emotional, as one woman was told: “You can either have friends and family or you can have me.” https://ifstudies.org/blog/eight-reasons-women-stay-in-abusive-relationships
majorbravo: OP, it's not only single mothers you have to be weary about, it is anyone who has been married before or previously been in a long term relationship where they live together like husband and wife even if they were not officially wedded. They usually don't make very good wives. If you want peace, marry a virgin or a woman who has had limited relationships, I'm not one to judge women by age, but it seems something messes with their brains as they age that makes them more ruthless, could be their experiences.
And how do you know this? Did you conduct a census among single, divorced women or single mums? Or did you carry out a survey? What was your mean sample? Where was the location? Oga, you dey funny, o! You are making a wide-sweeping conclusion based on conjecture rather than fact. Pity.
majorbravo: I once met a lady in her mid-30s when I was away on holiday. At first glance she appeared nice and religious. She worked at the hotel I was lodged and had helped me find my way around so I decided to take her for a drink one evening, that's when she told me her story, I was in shock. She wasn't a single mother but she was married to a man she had previously dated as a single lady while he was still married to another. After her many complaints to him about her need for his undivided attention, the man divorced his wife to marry her.
Long story short, she divorced the man 4 years after, and relocated to another country (same one where I was having my holiday). She seemed to have transformed at that point in her story telling, you could hear the vile and despise in her voice as she swore her ex husband still has no idea of her whereabouts and never will. She ended her tale by saying she prefers submissive men and would gladly divorce any man who doesn't bend to her rules.
You used an encounter with just one woman you met in a different country, to make such wide-sweeping allegations against single mothers or divorced women, in general. Wow! How clueless is that? Every relationship has its own dynamics. Does one person's response hold true for every other person in the same category, especially when the reasons or circumstances that gave rise to their situations, are widely different?
dominique: There's a clear distinction between the herdsmen that have been herding cattle accross the country for decades and blood thirsty terrorists. Too bad Nigerians have categorized them as one and the same. The latter have strong politicians' backing, the former are taking the fall for it.
Guy, the ones who have been herding cattle for a long time, know the cattle rustlers, as well as the terrorist herdsmen causing sorrow tears and blood, in different communities in the Middle-Belt. Let them work with security agencies, to fish out the bad eggs among them, and bring them to book so that everyone can have peace!
RuthlessLeader: Something should be done to seperate the herdsman from the terrorist.
Our security is trash
There is an anti-grazing law in Benue. So what are they still doing inside there? Let them go to the core northern states, where there are no anti-grazing laws. Didn't the governor of Bauchi state extend an invitation to them at one time? The Fulani are not indigenous to Benue, so they should honour the invitation of their kinsmen in the far north. Enough of their lamentations, please!
Apina: How will it ruin her life? Because the last time i checked, divorce is legal. So if he chooses to be stupid, he will only be doing himself.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. And when people like you start flaunting a little knowledge, it gives cause for alarm. Is divorce automatic? Do you get it the day you apply for it?Before the divorce comes through, the man could have wrecked her life. So stop saying what you do not know. Do you know how many women in this Nigeria of today, have been infected with STD or HIV by their husbands?
Most women (not all) who marry as virgins, are the ones that are quick to make excuses for their husband's bad behaviour. They tend to suffer his philandering and abuse quietly for years, before their self-control and tolerance threshold, snaps. Don't blame them. That is the limit of their knowledge. So please learn a little more about real life, before jumping to strange conclusions.
stemmez: work hard so you dont have to enroll ur kids in public schls. I attendeed both state, federal and private and God foebid I send my kids to Public schl. I rather private or scholls abroad. Amen
Guy, abeg go siddon. There are several people that attended public universities here, and are doing quite well in their respective careers today, both at home and abroad.
charain: Stop saying nonsense. A muslim woman can never do something illegal. They are holy women who will never compromise their faith by engaging in bad deeds. That is why muric is angry at falz for showing dancing hijab women when we all know that a muslim woman will never dance
Warris dis? A muslim woman can never do... what? So those ones that hide bombs under their hijabs are no longer Muslim girls or women? You don't say! Let's see...they must have been traditional fetish worshippers, on their way to the shrine!
Go to the Middle-Belt and North. You will see girls wearing hijab secretly shoplifting, and putting those stolen items under their hijab.
Now that your facile argument on building bridges has been punctured/refuted, you resorted to beating the air.
In any case, it is not my headache what you choose to accept/believe.
It behoves the Nigeria state to embrace fairness in giving us our rightful place. Any position will bode ill for the continued existence as an indivisible entity.
Do I have to repeat that?
No sir, you did not puncture any argument on building bridges, rather you simply exposed your total lack of understanding on the subject, in your last response. You were the one found beating the air. Just go through your statements again, and check.
You are here making so-called 'demands,' and claiming that it "behoves the Nigeria state to embrace fairness, in giving you your rightful place." The same Nigerian state that your people want to break up or dismember? Wait first, let me laugh very well in my native dialect. Did you embrace the same fairness, when your brother Kanu called for the dismemberment of Nigeria?
Keep your threats in your pocket. In fact, it will alienate others from your cause. Only petulant children resort to flinging threats around and throwing tantrums, instead of addressing the issues in a logical manner. Those threats will not fetch you chaps anything.
Now, if you have nothing further to add to the subject, kindly take your good self out of my mentions. Thanks.
Apina: Oga calm down. Theres no particular way to training a child and we all cannot have a one dimensional view to life, If she ends up marrying a philanderer, its his way of life not hers, and she cannot be held responsible for him turning out that way.
Oga, nobody is getting worked up, so why are you saying calm down? If she marries a philanderer, after undergoing countless virginity tests, whose life will be ruined? Is it not her own?
maestroferddi: You may well better suiting yourself...
The Yorubas have had their time in the sun.
The Igbos must have theirs. I don't care how you want to interpret/analyst.
And don't you lecture us on building bridges. If not for your disingenuous revisionism, you have realised that the Igbos are the quintessential bridge builders.
A short look at history should telll you that the Ignorance nations are probably the highest investors in the unity of this contraption called Nigeria.
In the First Republic, it was the Igbos teaming up with the north for national cohesion. Axikiwe sacrificed his ambition and functioned as a ceremonial president....That is bridge building.
Ekwueme risked the ire of kinsmen to work with Shagari as a Vice President...Another bridge building.
In the final analysis, we have paid our dues. We are not begging to be accorded our inalienable right. We are demanding for it. We must get it or else we shall exit this union.
Go chew on that...
You paid...'which dues?' Going to reside in another part of the country in order to buy and sell, is not building bridges, o! It is just trade & commerce. Building bridges means you exist in harmony, with people different in all respects, from your own. It means you respect their wishes, ethnic differences, lifestyle and culture, and you can also protect the interests of those quite dissimilar to you, if the need ever arises. Building bridges does NOT mean following a rabble rouser like Kanu, that called for the country to be dismembered. You cannot be arguing for some kind of inalienable right to rule, and at the same time calling for the break up of the country.
See how your post is riddled with illogicality and wishful thinking. The only revisionism going on, is the one you have been peddling. Take a chill pill and study the political terrain, before you decide to hit your keyboard, next time.
lovethchioma: They are doing very well because she married as a virgin? You are leaving out cases of so many people who married as virgins and now their marriage are in shambles. Virginity does not keep a marriage. Are you too dull to understand this fact? The success of a marriage is independent of their virginity status. It takes a lot of work and commitment to keep a marriage through God's help and not Virginity.
The bride price was something else? I'm beginning to understand this is the reason why you people are concerned about Virginity. So, you can collect and collect and collect from the man coming to marry the woman.. all in the name of "virginity". Now listen up; Women are not properties that you try to protect and keep until when she's getting married, in order to sell off for a high price. It's this stupid mentality that makes men treat their wives like anyhow and not as a partner that should be respected. Because they feel they bought her like one of their properties. Nonsense...
Abeg, help me tell dem, o! In fact, I shake my head in shock, each time I read some of the responses that flow from people's keyboards, on NL.
Come to the far North, where girls as young as 14 - 17 get married as virgins, to different men. Yet such men still end up marrying, 2 or 3 more wives, after contracting a marriage with such girls. Did their virginity not cause the man to fall in love with them, or was it not strong enough to make him reject polygamy? Nansense!
Apina: Desperate times call for desperate measures. He is simply looking out for one of his own, whether We think its ideal or not, doesn't count.
That is not called 'looking out for his own.' It is called demeaning the girl, and ridiculing her dignity. Wtf? Girls like that who live such sheltered lives, end up going haywire once they taste a little freedom. Na barracks she dey? God forbid, but there is no law that says the man she marries will respect or love her simply for her virginity. What if the guy she eventually marries turns out to be a serial philanderer, or a wolf in sheep's clothing, that ends up abusing her at will?
Instead of him to sit his daughter down and give her a sound moral education, and proper self-awareness training, he is policing her up and down with virginity test. Wubbish!
safarigirl: The difference between a Private and a Public University graduate is OPPORTUNITY.
Some went to private schools because they didn't have the opportunity of getting admission into public universities and some went to public universities because they didn't have the opportunity to attend private ones (money no dey)
So, each faction making fun of the other is laughable.
Gbam!! You talk am well..... Once money is no object, you can easily get admission into any private uni, after you have obtained your 5 credit passes, in the relevant subjects. It is not like that in a public uni. The competition for admission is much tougher. Even after passing with high scores at SSCE level, you still have to do post-UTME, and then fast and pray to be considered for admission. God dey!
HigherEd: By the way congratulations to Benedict. This guy ran away from Canada simply because he couldn't cope with the weather. Now AUN's BGS, You are the real MVP!
He couldn't cope with 'what' weather? Is that the truth? Or is that the story he made up for you guys, so you could get off his back? Do you know how many Nigerians are in Canada, studying and excelling in their courses? I have some friends who relocated back to Naija to complete their studies, after the burden of getting enough forex at the current exchange rate, became too much for their parents or sponsors....
maestroferddi: We don't care what you think, we demand equity in the way things are done here.
If your brutish mind can't process that, then that is your funeral.
Barack Obama became an African American president of the US because the American system had the presence of mind to institute a gesture signifying departure, at least to a reasonable extent, from state-baked racism.
In 1999, the Yorubas were beneficiaries of political understanding and pacification when the two major parties were allowed to give their tickets to candidates of Yoruba origin.
The above gesture was not engendered by any semblance of sagacity and, "bridge-buiding" by Yorubas.
Let Nigeria try sidelining the Igbos again, then we shall tell you that we don't shirk facing injustice and exploitation...
Ok, stay there and keep 'demanding.' As if your demands fetched you anything in the past. Let us hope your own 'brutish' mind will be able to process the defeat that will be handed over to you and your ilk, when elections roll by again in 2023.
I will also allow the Yorubas on this board, to respond to your half-baked assertions. You obviously did not know how much effort the late MKO Abiola put into building bridges across various ethnic and social divides, before he contested for the presidency on the platform of the defunct SDP.
Those efforts won him popular support from various ethnic groups, during the 1993 elections. The cancellation of his mandate, followed by his subsequent incarceration which led to his death, was what enabled his kinsmen to get to the highest elective office, in subsequent elections.
You claim that the "In 1999, the Yorubas were beneficiaries of political understanding and pacification when the two major parties were allowed to give their tickets to candidates of Yoruba origin." How did this happen? What was the cause? Abiola built the bridges that laid the groundwork for the victory of candidates from his ethnic group, in subsequent elections. If you do not believe it, please do some research.
Cosplay: For anyone who actually cares about the context of the memo and the reasons for the response, here's something about James Damore and the memo that sparked a firestorm.
My opinion: James Damore was an insecure individual with more than a whiff of sexist behaviour about him.
Google eventually did the right thing and canned him.
It's alright to have principles, but individual circumstances are almost never the same, and the actions of a few inane members of a commune do not invalidate the positivity of the majority.
You are so very right. Darmore was against diversity and he was quite sexist. He believed women did not have the brains for the kind of technical work being carried out in Google. So why would anyone use Darmore' as a yardstick, for rejecting a role at Google?
maestroferddi: May I drum into your thick skull that the despite the crap you were trying to project, the Igbos will give unalloyed support to separatist movements like IPOB if power does not come to the South East after the north has exhausted her present turn.
You can keep regaling yourself in infantile fantasy but note that we are not cowards...
You cannot force people to give power to you on a platter of gold.You work for it, by building bridges of friendship, tolerance and understanding across various ethnic groups, in order to convince them that you have an Igbo candidate who can represent their interests well. Noise making does not cause power to shift from one region to another. Stategising, creating strong alliances and hard work, gets the job done. Tinubu ended up marketing Buhari as the best candidate for the job, to everyone. So with the votes of the North and Southwest, as well as a few from the SE/SS, PMB found it easier to coast home to victory in 2015.
The more the SE throws their weight behind IPOB, the more the presidency of this country will elude them. This is as simple as ABC.
datola: Buhari should do the same for the East by giving Ojukwu GCFR in his desperate bid to win 2019 presidential election.
Lagos Abeokuta road is being reconstructed by Buhari. A road that has been a nightmare from Sango to Ifo and OBJ did nothing about during his time.
These actions will make baba Obasanjo more irrelevant among his own people. OBJ was pressured to declare June 12 democracy day by the progressives. He sturbonly ignored and declare May 29 to spite his own people.
It is also getting at IBB, the gap-toothed evil genius of June 12.
These are better than sharing millions of dollars to traditional rulers- one of the stupidities of the Jonathan campaign strategies.
Smartest political move in Nigeria in recent time!
The kite you are flying will NOT take to the skies. Ojukwu tried to dismember this country. He never gained grassroots support outside his old Eastern region enclave, even when he contested for political office, after he returned from exile.
MKO's bid to contest for president during the election, received the widest votes from different sections of the country. MKO never tried to break up this country. MKO died in prison in his bid to actualise his mandate.
Guy, there is no basis for saying Ojukwu should be considered for the same honour.
toofit007: you said more than this before the sit at home order, so I did not expect less from you but one thing I can assure you is that we shall prove you wrong.
Politics › Re: Shehu Sani Condemns List Of Invitees For MKO Abiola’s GCFR Award by LaudableXX: 1:43am On Jun 10, 2018
And Humphrey Nwosu the former INEC Chairman who refused to announce the winner, should also be excluded. Kingibe betrayed Abiola even though he was Abiola's running mate and went on to serve in Abacha's govt. As for Nwosu, the less said about him, the better. He lacked the balls and forthrightness of Attahiru Jega, and rubbished the whole 1993 election result. 
.
The guy has apologised, and has shown remorse. Can't you read his body language? So why are you stirring the pot of trouble, so that both of them can continue the fight for your entertainment? Why are you threatening fire and brimstone, over dis matter? Oya, if it is a fight you want to watch, I command you to go and provoke Seun or challenge any of the mods to a free-for-all, right now 
The herdsmen had been ransacking different communities in the Middle belt for a long time and killing them, while the security agencies did NOTHING! 
This is not America, where a woman can automatically move out of her matrimonial home today, file for divorce tomorrow and is automatically granted alimony, once the case comes up in court. 
Did you embrace the same fairness, when your brother Kanu called for the dismemberment of Nigeria?
