are they HDMI?

@ Victor Abia

So what happened after you took the money?

i miss Fela the last man with courage and passion and style

When I was in my first year in Uni, I was asked to write a term paper on Nigerian Nationalism as a requirement for all these General Courses.

In the process I came across Negritude, Azikiwe, Garvey etc. Before I knew I was moreorless caught up with what i was doing.

12 years down the line I have friends doing this inter tribal marriages and I wonder about their offspring where will their loyalties lie, the uprisings in the Arab-will it ever happen here and the current turn of events. I read about the lynchings of Negroes in Southern America and I wonder why it was allowed to take place.

The truth is that Nigeria as a nation will only progress if we all remain open minded about the right of persons of different tribal origins to pursue life in its fullest.

That education is the greatest fight against tribalism.

An individual has no control of his origins, when I was born I didnt chose to be born of a particular tribe or religion why then should I be persecuted for being who I am.

The division of Nigeria isnt a solution to our problems because when the resources are scarce(resources will always be scarce) people will always find a reason to discriminate.

But it all states with the having the right mindset and chosing to do the right thing. I hope as people get older and better educated will start to merge together as one.

Black is Beautiful

But do you think it should play an important role in our development.

Because in all honesty the level of poverty in the North is scary

Given the current elections I have been wondering about the National Consciousness with everybody trying to play the Tribal card in order to get votes. Do you guys think that Nationalism is dead?

It's quite unfortunate that in 2011 people are still bring up the disaster of 1967 in the manner present in this forum. Our mindset needs to change if there will be any progress in our nation. From an economical perspective we are all dependent on one another. Lagos wouldnt have reached its status today if it hadnt been for "non-lagosians".  We should all express a degree of sensitivity to challenges of our brothers and sisters throughout the great nation nigeria.

And besides methinks the concept of true lagosian is a misnomer. The people laying claim to lagos should brush on their history they would be suprised.

Sanusi Lamido gave a speech we should read through it and change our line of thinking and most importantly grow-up.

I am Igbo but first a Nigerian and in whatever I do i will never play the tribal card. We should all make the same promises.

Hello everyone,

Please enjoy the piece below and lets apply ourselves to the thought provoking reasoning of MALLAM. It is a wake up call to everybody that wishes Nigeria well.

HAPPY READING!!!!

The Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi at the Muson Centre in Lagos.

The book titled: *“Nigeria, Africa’s failed asset?”* attracted many important dignitaries, intellectuals and some governors.

The argument by discussants centered on whether or not the colonial masters laid the foundation for the problems Nigeria is currently facing. Many argued that the British loved the North and that was why it gave more than 5o percent of the National Assembly seats to the North at independence.

Sanusi, however, stole the show when he spoke. His speech was anchored on the plank that the British and Nigerian rulers are responsible for the state of the situation Nigeria finds itself today.

Below is his unedited speech.

“Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation.

“My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I can not forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.

“Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around.

Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria. Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate. The man from Kano regard himself as bakane. The man from Zaria was bazazzage. The man from Katsina was bakatsine. The kingdoms were at war with each other. They were Hausas, they were Muslims, they were killing each other.

“The Yoruba were Ijebu, Owo, Ijesha, Akoko, Egba. When did they become one? When did the North become one? You have the Sokoto Caliphate that brought every person from Adamawa to Sokoto and said it is one kingdom. They now said it was a Muslim North.

“The Colonialists came, put that together and said it is now called the Northern Nigeria. Do you know what happened? Our grand fathers were able to transform to being Northerners. We have not been able to transform to being Nigerians. The fault is ours.

Tell me, how many governors has South West produced after Awolowo that are role models of leadership? How many governors has the East produced like Nnamdi Azikiwe that can be role models of leadership? How Many governors in the Niger Delta are role models of leadership? Tell me. There is no evidence statistically that any past of this country has produced good leaders.

You talk about Babangida and the economy. Who were the people in charge of the economy during Babangida era? Olu Falae, Kalu Idika Kalu. What state are they from in the North?

“We started the banking reform; the first thing I heard was that in Urobo land, that there will be a course of the ancestors. I said they (ancestors) would not answer. They said why? I said how many factories did Ibru build in Urobo land? So, why will the ancestors of the Urobo people support her?

“We talk ethnicity when it pleases us. It is hypocrisy. You said elections were rigged in 1959, Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu rigged election in 2007. Was it a Southern thing? It was not.

“The problem is: everywhere in this country, there is one Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and Itshekiri man whose concern is how to get his hands on the pile and how much he can steal.

Whether it is in the military or in the civilian government, they seat down, they eat together. In fact, the constitution says there must be a minister from every state.

“So, anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani, he does not love Nigeria. The problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish. The poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that you find in any part of the South. The British came for 60 years and Sir Ajayi talked about few numbers of graduates in the North (two at independence) . What he did not say was that there was a documented policy of the British when they came that the Northerner should not be educated. It was documented. It was British colonial policy. I have the document. I have published articles on it. That if you educate the Northerner you will produce progressive Muslim intellectuals of the type we have in Egypt and India. So, do not educate them. It was documented. And you say they love us (North).

“I have spent the better part of my life to fight and Dr. (Reuben) Abati knows me. Yes, my grandfather was an Emir. Why was I in the pro-democracy movement fighting for June 12? Is (Moshood) Abiola from Kano? Why am I a founding director of the Kudirat Initiative for Nigerian Development (KIND)?

“There are good Yoruba people, good Igbo people, good Fulani people, good Nigerians and there are bad people everywhere. That is the truth.

“Stop talking about dividing Nigeria because we are not the most populous country in the world. We have all the resources that make it easy to make one united great Nigeria. It is better if we are united than to divide it.

“Every time you talk about division, when you restructure, do you know what will happen? In Delta, Area, the people in Warri will say Agbor, you don’t have oil. When was the Niger Delta constructed as a political enlity? Ten years ago, the Itshekiris were fighting the Urobos. Isn’t that what was happening? Now they have become Niger Delta because they have found oil. After, it will be, if you do not have oil in your village then you can not share our resources.

“There is no country in the world where resources are found in everybody’s hamlet. But people have leaders and they said if you have this geography and if we are one state, then we have a responsibility for making sure that the people who belong to this country have a good nature.

“So, why don’t you talk about; we don’t have infrastructure, we don’t have education, we don’t have health. We are still talking about Fulani. Is it the Fulani cattle rearer or is anybody saying there is no poverty among the Fulani?”, he said

Sweet T:
I mean seriously?? C'mmon! How in the hell did PDP get 1 million votes in Abia and Anambra states? You mean to tell me that an Ibo man will leave his Okrika  clothes and fake goods shop to go line up for hours just to vote? Hard for me to believe that, unless an Ibo man he's being compensated for it i don't believe it. And by the way there are not up to 1 million adult age Ibo guys left in all of East combined, they have all relocated to Lagos to sell Okrika clothes and fake goods. INEC c'mmon, let's be real here.

it's comments like this that aptly describes Nigeria's problems; Bigotry, Tribalism, Narrow  mindedness and good ole fashioned stupidity.

well said

This was the message I got from inec

Dear

Thank you for contacting INEC Citizen Support Voter Contact & Response Center (VCRC). This message is to confirm that we received a service request with tracking # 57402 from you.

It would help if alot more of us sent the mail and a link to the website

The Channels email box is full.

Is their anybody else we can bombard

agabaI23:
Are you sure? that's cool!

Any confirmation

babaearly:
Lets do our best to make this video super viral. Hey shame go catch bad people eh

Way ahead of you mate

Any thoughts

16000 to 18,863 views how can we push it.

Shame is a powerful tool. Obviously the woman doesn't know that she was filmed. Hopefully her employees, family, church, community will get to see this clip.

We really need to push this thing

Any suggestions or do we sit down by the roadside debating about the intricacies of the Nag Hammadi Scrolls

Dont use a blackberry. Mass attack is a very formidable strategy. We really need to gang together

Brothers and Sisiters,

Send your mails to info@channelstv.com; news@channelstv.com; and metro@234NEXT.com;

The more we send the greater the likely hood that it will be reported.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing’

We spend so much time debating throwing insults its no wonder we cant make progress

From 13000 to 16000 views. So lets encourage people to watch the video

isnt anybody ready to anything or do we continue to sit here with our hands up our a$#@s

Lets bombard a TV Station to carry it

What we can do is to petition of bunch of Nigerian TV Stations to carry it.

Overload there server's with emails will attract some attention.

Can anybody provide the emails of at least 4 major TV stations?

But if we want to overload their server we need to involve more people.

For those who have blackberries forward it to all your contacts.

Any other suggestions?

We shouldnt let this be covered up?

Spending time indulging in diatribe will not achieve anything, we spend time carrying out intellectual masturbat&*n while the simple question is what should we do?

Who should this video be forwarded to?

How can we as Nigerians who love our country make the youtube site the most watched site on the internet?

Talk is cheap and most times achieves zilch?

What are the suggestions?

We all seem to be internet savvy, so lets put the tool to use?

Would CNN be interested?

So are you guys ready or do we continue with the jerking off contest?

Is there any way or somebody who can vouch for the authenticity of this video just in case we are all being taken for a ride.

I see a better Nigeria
