i feel like crying , crying for this nation. WHY IS GEJ such a BIG FOOL!!!!!

so this fisherman has wipe out Nigerian coffers?

God! please we really need your intervention.!!!!

So GEJ has depleted $32 billion that soludo and OBJ saved up for nigeria

even the $1 billion that was keep aside for sovereign fund has also been shared??

God if u exist please why wouldn't you strike Jonathan dead

biggest fool on planet earth. PHD my foot!

On corruption !!!
GEJ- he has been accused of bribery- the man of god Case( forgotten his name)
2. His wife has been caught with about 150 million dollars at heatrow just as he was promoted to a state governor.
3. He has been accused of bribing delegates.

Atiku- he has been accused of accepting bribery.
2. His wife has been accused of money laundering.
3.
Analysis
Both are thieves.
Their wives are thieves as well.

In-depth analysis
Atiku's solicitation of bribery- in this case, bribery for access into the country for a high speed Internet company, is a lesser crime than GEJ/wife's case of actually catering away/ shamelessly looting of state budget allocation for development.

Verdit (mine): both has participated in a variation of fraud. However If there has to a choice of lesser thief btw the two then it has to b Atiku.

Next : personality,

@ ade, u don't know Igbos at all. No doubt in politics we heard the " we re marginalised" but in civil service and general employment an Igbo in a position wud easily frown upon any igbo that approaches him/her speaking Igbo to garner a favour. But we all know abt the " mummy ejo", ( speaking Yoruba). Lol.

Anyway Let's not derail this topic with tribal sentiments. Let's focus on Atiku vs GEJ

On agriculture.
GEJ- his plans entails providing states with soft loans and equipments to be made accessible to farmers.

Atiku- to established large federal agriculture farms with compartible industrial storage facilities.

Analysis
GEJ- his plans sound good, wud theoritically empower poor citizens and help a lot of families. However, his plan is the same old, time-tested obj plan that hasn't worked, provide the governors with cheap access to money to loot and even the farmers that finally gets access to the loan 80/100 of the time has simply moved into commercial business with the money- case study on IMO state 2003- 2004.
2. Becos of our land tenure system which doesn't provide large parcel of agriable land for potential farmers this means most of our farmers farm on little more than a plot of land and hence uneconomicall to venture into mechanised farming.  = low yield.

Atiku- his plan has worked in the past, in the era of Kano groundnut pyramid, east oil farms, west cocoa farms. However despite how good it could b requires a lot of Money and expertise to establish,
2. Requires large parcels of land.
Adv.
1. Atiku's cud provide higher yield becos wud employ Adv of mechanised farming.
Could provide a good source of income for the nation since the farms could b set up wit a view at world food commodities in demand.
2. Wud provide a source of measurable employment, cheap food and identifiable source of raw material for industries.

Ariku's plan I believe is better becos of it's measurables and identifiable accountabilities.

So as an Igbo do I vote atiku becos he is advocating an  igbo presidency or do I vote GEj becos of same? Sincerely it's a shame that in 2011 we still talk n publicly brandishing our selfish myopic ideology.
I believe we all shd vote on achieved, track record and manifesto.

GEJ- on education
1. GEJ is building 6 tribal university to add to our currently under funded, strike prone, archaic curiculum.
   Atiku- is advocating to sell all federal universities leaving only six, one in each geopolitical zone which would then be better funded and managed to become premier university in the continent.

Analysis  
GEj - would cost the nation over 120 billion on completion and subsequently add to the current drain the educational section is on our budget. = less money for vital structural development that are needed to provide jobs and employment for the even more number of half baked graduates that are n wud b churned out yearly

Atiku- would bring the nation  over 1.5 trillion naira in direct cash {26 Uni to b sold at 50 billion each} and save the nation over 300 billion annually- %current budget estimate for eduction spent on re-occurring  expenditure *{ 30 federal Uni - 6 that will b left}. The plan wud provide excess fund for Uni reforms, Provide most needed attention and care on then  6 remaining FG  unis.

On agriculture

Andrew bro, realistically speaking we igbos don't need anybody to look after our interest becos our interest is insatiable what we need is a president who is liberal and industrial and Market oriented who would provide a level playing ground for all,
1. Reduce the superfluous of quota system. I think QS is needed but not in the state is it just now- currently most federal employment QS is based on biased equality eg Ogun state with 25000 jambite, over 30,000 graduates in a yr and a population of 5mil gets to produce same number of workers kebbi with 4000 jambites, less than 1000 graduates in a yr n population of just over 1mil. Same goes for Bayelsa. Fair?
2. stem the flow of Yoruba nepotism in recruitment exercises - I specifically pointed out Yoruba becos it is most prevalent with them.
3. stem the flow of oil revenue going to individuals and communities- NigerDeltas-my state get revenue as well. in uk for instance the oil is regarded as national wealth and nt community. Shell doesn't get to build state road, or drill borehole for anybody.
What we need is
1. A structure system where the oil co get to pay a % of profit on individual fields as royalty to state.
2. For communities that the oil co operations have disrupted their livelihood and environment, the communities shd be provided with a pathway to seek justice n compensation and follow up clean- up thru a tribunal. A fast track process. Tale a look at bp gulf of Mexico recent accident.

If this fisherman gets in there, LAWD ! This I way we will get

Abe girl, u hv nt reply my earlier post and question; is he still dependent on u for his stay in the country ( u mentioned paper marriage in your earlier post) ?


Men has always known women. And has always know that women would always nag. Is there really any man that doesn't expect it at a point in his marriage. Wat am I talking about, more realistic, is there any man that doesn't expect some form of feminine pestering/nag from his WIFE in a week, if nt a day.

What Nigerian marries without a ring A wedding ring??  For Christ sake wat other obvious, glaring translation do u need to decode the writing on the wall?

Sorry if I am bringing on the sour grapes, but why is no one thinking around the paper/ visa angle?

It could b he married u for visa. Forget the fact that he called u a fool when u brought it up most men marrying for visa would never accept it or let the girl in question know about it.

How long are u married now for ?

If he still depends on you for his stay in the country mayb u shd mk the attempt to threaten him with divorce and see his reaction.

U know wat, try going out wit your girls and stay a little longer than usual if he doesn't get jealous ( most Nigeria men are JEALOUS) or keenly wants to know  wat transpired over the night then forget It he doesn't give a flying fucck abt u. U cud as well end the relationship. 

Those supporting his man, do u think he intends to live the rest of his life this way? I doubt it. I think he is hanging in there a little longer waiting on wat he is waiting for. Forget the kid he/she can't and won't prevent him from leaving the abydee girl wen d time comes.

Sorry but it is wat it is!

@afrodiva, im nt disputing you but do u realise that no tribe is wholly one?

"The ogba people you so gleefully claim  have a standing rule not to sell land to  igbo person since the biafra war .Going by your assertions that means that they do not sell land to themselves  how ironic "

if the above is your strongest argument on this then sorry but its weak. it happens everywhere, in owerri there was a time -owerri people, were going about urging their peopl not to sell to Mbaise people. does that make them more igbo or less for the mbaise?

in Aba, it happens every time , Ngwa urge their folks not to sell to other igbo. does that mk them-ngwa, not igbos?

Imo state and Anambra are always having beef , u need to visit idomota and see for ursef.

anyway the point being no tribe is wholly one -in the sense of dialect, tradition and customs.

-1,   most igbo upnorth understand ikwerre far better than the wud ever understand Ngwa or Afikpo
-2-   marriage and customs- the mbaise custom is more related to okirika than it is to anambra. tho of late there has been lots of borrowing from the latter.
-3-   for instance ijebu in ogun state, are they not yorubas? they re of course but their language and custom is way different. so does that mean if a few disfranchised politicians loses out tmw then decides to go thru with  " WE RE NT YORUBAS , WE RE IJEBU" then it wud be so.

After the war the FED in an effort to weaken the igbos bought a few politician who went about agitating and claiming non-igbo despite a traceable history and culture and custom. that was the time all those dont sell land to igbo, dont inter-marry came about.

moreover, one question what makes one an igbo?
who is the true Igbo?
whose custom is the true Igbo?
whose language is the True igbo - ( nt minding the legally accepted one)

There was a compromise to accept one, which is call igbo izube (or something like that) that thereby meant no sub-div owns the accepted dialect  but all are urged to speak/ write it for study reasons and as the legal igbo.

Also on your point of why igbos worry what some politician or people claim for themself ( if the re igbos or nt). look those politician dont hav the write to claim poo. as my earlier ex, if ijebu man starts claiming non yoruba, does it mean history has to be re-writed to accommodate his rant?  everybody has a contribute to mk to protect and preserve history as it is.

@revolt, story story story!!! her mere achievement in NAFDAF wont swing her to the presidency bro. she has valour and passion no doubt but presidency needs someone with most importantly vision . if soludo clears his bribery case he wud mk a better candidate- i think.

GEJ is no doubt a good man with probably listening ears but lacks valour and most importantly VISION!!! that why he is finding it difficult to convince the populace despite being the incumbent.

Image123:
Common, charity does not behave itself unseemly. Charity does not rejoice in iniquity. If someone has done wrong, she needs to be corrected and to know she's done wrong. Like a yoruba proverb will say, 'when a child offends, we use the left hand to beat her and then the right hand to bring her back and cuddle'. The lady should know she's very much in the wrong, and quit playing the victim card. God knows how she must have used uncle to kill the man. The way she called 'uncle uncle', and she's still calling uncle, yet she will not leave the house, before 1st time, after 1st time, 2nd time, 3rd and until she got pregnant. And she still insists on not leaving uncle's house. And she's the victim. She's a deliberate home-breaker who should repent of her ways.
Of course, she should have the kid, and find her own husband and job elsewhere. The man also should be RESPONSIBLE for the kid, take care of it and, to some extent the mother. I wonder what manly thing He's coming to do asides that.

aside what?
im sure, with this 33 yrs attitude, once her "uncle " steps into the house she would frantically jump and embrace him warmly, lots of kisses, get him to rub her arching tommy and. . only god knows wat next,

genny is an angel,  a very beautiful African queen!

your place is assured in heaven cos God would never let such a masterpiece burn in hell irrespective of your sin, 

she don gree for Dbanj yet? she shud get Dbanj to repent and b baptise b4 she gree for him.

P SQUR? those IBO crackhead MTV wannnabe MC Hammer that cannut spek english??

who gives a care about them? (no oofewense)

u be di/ck head who told you psquare cant communicate in English. u made just watch their cnn interview and i sure understood them. im white.

dude ladej, im very much like you, i dont think tribal one bit. having said that, when it come to politics and criticism there is need to have a balance.

as i said earlier if a critic is ask to name 20 corrupt Nigerians and he mentions all Yorubas, even as a non-yoruba, eye brows wud be raised. i wud ask:" where the hell is orji uzor kalu, where is odili, where are all those funali mallams known to have ravaged the country, do u feel me?

A critic earns respect by her/his encompassing views on a topic.

@ladej, sorry dont get me wrong, i sincerely respect Gani, he was indeed a great man with lots of accolade ( tho mostly local) but same goes for aunty Dora- last time she granted an interview to CNN abi one foreign press in her office at NAFDAC she showed cased her awards -mehn the were over 200 from different and very reputable, international, world bodies, UN, WORLD BANK, UNICEF, WFP, WWF,

Now, if someone could turn around and ask what has aunty Dora achieved?
then the question can also be rightfully turned around and pointed to Gani's record. Gani in as much as he achieved a lot for himself that can not be said of the country, probably becos he was never in a position to serve directly.

Anyway, the point im trying to make on this is that in that country of ours we find it very easy to vilify and belittle achievement of others nt in our circle. That is very evident in our Music awards; u see a very popular song in the east not getting even the slightest of recognition while a song sang head to toe in Yoruba, hasnt even been heard in bubbly places like Ptown, gathering it all.

even accomplished artistes like psquare still get the treatment. last time their manager stormed out of Nigerian Hiphop Awards fuming with what he called "Yorubaization of achievement, the even went forward to suggest the award should be changed to YORUBA HIPHOP AWARDS!
