This cretin will soon run into the market unclad!!

FFK lost more than access to free money on the 28th of March 2015, he lost his soul & sanity as well!!

!!!

.

Obasanjo did his part, and he did it well. Took many out of poverty, and placed Nigeria on the path to prosperity.

Yar'adua would have sustained the tempo or bettered it, but it wasn't to be. He was more or less our own JFK, with vision of peace and rule of law. I especially liked how he carried everyone along.

Buhari vs GEJ was likable to the demon vs the devil. Neither of the two was the ideal man. But like America is about to do, we settled for the lesser evil, or at least so we believe(d), I still do. Goodluck, we have seen, as for Buhari, it's rather too early to reach a conclusion already.

And as your thread is aimed at scrutinizing Buhari (the patriotic stance is a gimmick), I believe it came a tad too early. You should have waited a little longer.

Reno sounds the mature one.

Sometimes, one wonders whether FFK ages retrogressively. No sense, no nada!

He spews all these needless vituperation because he wants to sound romantically correct to one biafran girlfriend, yet he accuses Reno of wanting to sound politically correct.

The guy reaches a new low everyday. It's no wonder only Ipobians support him.

nicetboy:
oga stop lying pls be factual nd empercal. How does south east depends on north 4 maize/corn? I bet you have'nt been to south east b4. South east depends on north 4 groundnut oil, bt do u knw how many trailers load of vegetable 4rm south east that goes to north every day? Let's not talk about palm oil, have you heard about iyo yam cultivates in otuocha and odekpe both in anambra state? Have you been to ose mrkt b4 @ onitsha whre tones of yam and other food stuffs is daily brought in from otuocha and ebonyi? Infat do north know what garri production is or melon,ogbono,ugba,plantain,potato,ukwa? These are foods consume most by eastherners. Next time bro do your research well b4 coming online to vomit wastes from your mouth

Maybe you should heed your own advise, don't you think so?

Now water melon is mostly grown in the northern part of Nigeria.

Potatoes? You're a joke! Potatoes are grown majorly up north.

And as for garri, news was sometime in 2013 that Nasarawa State has overtaken many other states of the federation in the mass production of cassava.

As for maize/corn, don't even attempt to argue in the face of facts.

How much yam exactly is being farmed in Anambra? I live in Awka, and have covered almost every part of the state. And if you believe that a state of 1,870 sq mi of total area, 2/3rd of which isn't put to farm production can boss an entire region in yam production, then you're beyond description.

Your yams ship in from Benue and Plateau States on a daily basis. Go to the market and ask those guys offloading marked yams where they brought them from. That you stage yam festivals doesn't exactly mean that you are self sufficient in its production.

Try leaving your region once, maybe, then you will have a better outlook to life.

BoleynDynaSTY:
Good points...Aside from few food items, d north really doesn't have anything to offer. Most of the food comes from Benue State.

The problem with people like you is that you are very shallow, yet lack the zeal or capacity to learn. Going by your comment, I can bet almost everything you know about Nigeria, came from Nairaland.

The combination of ignorance and arrogance is a recipe for disaster for anyone, regardless how high you may consider yourself.

What exactly has your region offered in terms of food production?

You few miscreants will be here online giving the wrong impression of the vast hardworking Igbos out there who barely have time for themselves, much less hate.

As for the thread, I wonder who is the more ignorant one between you and the op.

Emotions have have held your brains to hostage, using it to play ten-ten.

This man talks too much, and most of the time, he talks nonsense.

Such a misfit.

Buhari succeeded in rendering my state's ministerial seat almost useless by appointing this man. I often feel ashamed whenever he talks.

It's everyday nigerian military will crush, destroy, liquidate, eliminate, annihilate, terminate, attack, counter attack, degrade and kill boko haram.. Boko haram no dey finish?... Are they regenerating?
[/size][/color]

That's because it is an idea. You cannot exactly kill off a thought.

modath:
Ouch!! The kind of thoughts that should never be spoken...when we aim to taunt some, we should never forget who the passers-by & bystanders are.!!!

For some reasons, I tend to think he's the same person as fulanmafia. They make sense a lot of the time, but when they missyarn, they shoot to kill.

Such thoughts shouldn't even be harbored in the first instance.

Everyone has a right to self-determination. The Yorubas have been on it for years, a lot of them still do despite being in power. I think that for them, it is about getting what they believe is right, regardless who is in power.

Prior to 2015, Tinubu had been in the opposition for almost the entirety of his political life. In fact, he has been one of the most hunted opposition figure in recent times.

In spite of all these, we never heard him cry to the streets. Instead, he absorbed all of it, reacted with thought and a clear head to seize an advantage amid a volatile dynamic.

Come 2019, he should be older, wiser, richer, and even more influential. Not a lot will change for him in other regards, regardless what happens at the center. For a man like that, I believe, he will think instead that it's rather a familiar terrain.

The tolerance, wisdom and calculations of the Yorubas set them apart from the rest. Only a chaotic situation will make them take to the streets to seek redress. They are not the kind of people that will go out and out attacking everyone in government on account of their grievances.

I know because they have been in the situation before, yet, didn't go all ballistic.

I love and respect people like that. Never let your emotions get get the better of you.

As it is often said, little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean... and the blessed land.

Brick by brick, the government is building from the ground up and seems committed to tacking the myriad of problems bedeviling the country headlong.

Should the tempo be sustained and consequently upped as the economy shapens up, there's no doubting that they could leave the country in a better state than they met it.

And at the end of the day, that's what counts. Everyone has their takeaways, but all of that tend to matter a lot less when you give much more to the coubtry than you take away.

Their commitment is never in doubt. Things may be hard right now, but that not withstanding, we may never say that they didn't try.

Clerverly:
Useless Man!

The hell are you on about? A former president, contributor, and someone who has changed the fortunes of so many people. Yet, you call him useless? Like, what does useless mean in your own dictionary?

You may not agree with a lot of his policies, but that does not mean he is up to no good at all. There's no individual that will satisfy everybody.

He has his faults, but useless, he will never be. Chances are that man may have played in a more important role in your life than even some of the people you look up to.

Embrace joy and jettison the bile. No be you suffer pass.

We must learn to respect elders.

BeeBeeOoh:
That's what been a statesman entails.


God Bless GEJ


Before you roast me alive, remind me any good speech/promise Buhari made when GEJ was still in power..

No doubt. If our politicians played politics like the man is doing, we would have had less diatribes to deal with.

Perfect he is not, but at least he isn't overheating the polity.

God bless him!

Wow. It was a nice read. Your article is constructive and succinctly put.

As for PDP, there's no better time to rise than now. Although they are in dire need of deep in-house cleansing to rid them of all those elements responsible for the party becoming so dysfunctional. From the crooks to the schemers. But again, that will mean no PDP at all. A revamp of the party could signal its collapse. The old and corrupt make it thick.

President99:
Buratai had my eulogies b4 the Zaria incidence for being at the war front in decimating Boko haram might, ever since then I quitted. The Zaria holocaust showcased army violation of human rights. Hw can U justify the killings of 1000 people; among them r pregnant women, nursing mothers, passers-by, spectators n others just coz they blocked road? army is funded by taxpayers money and should there4 respect the taxyers.
There is no where in Nigerian constitution that says road blocking is punishable by death! Despite my disdain for GEJ's govt, he tolerated treasonable offences commtitted against him in Bauchi and Taraba without ordering a single live shot. No educated person should support such an impunity gainst humanity pls.

Do no mistaken what I'm about to say as justifying the unjust killing of the "innocents".

I've been shying away from commenting on this subject for God knows how long on account that I do not want to dabble into issues of such much sensitivity and yet seem insensitive to certain people's plight.

But take my word for it, because I know their precedents, heck, I've seen it firsthand. The Shiites aren't all innocent as it is being portrayed.

All through my stay in Zaria, those guys constituted themselves into a nuisance while instituting authorities of their own. The people of Gyallesu and surrounding neighborhood lived in fear of these guys for decades.

While I was there, there was a time when the authorities intercepted a truckload of weapons the sect were importing along Zaria-Funtua road. What peaceful organization needs weapons? And for what exactly?

Hardly will a year pass that their celebrations do not degenerate into confrontations with the authorities.

Those people are as lawless as lawlessness. While I do not have the facts of the last incidents, I believe that their past tendencies is enough prove of their lawlessness. I remember those days when going to PZ wasn't just it, all because you risked being killed by some sect doing a celebration.

Amphibious Abi frog training Hahahaha. Niger Deltans are not afraid of armies truth be told. It is the other way round. Army wants to train with speed boats. Abeg this news Na trash.

Why has common sense eluded you when you need it so badly?

Life can be unfair sometimes. So often, those who are most deserving of certain things do not get them.

It's funny how much momentum something this petty is gathering.

What really is the fuss in a man naming his pet whatever he deems fit?

As a Plateau man, we've kept a lot of dogs and have named them after people and things that are dear to us. As a matter of fact, I still have a dog named Lampard. My cousin is a Chelsea fan and thought to name it after his favorite player at the time.

We really need to work on our level of intolerance. Some people's life is so sad that they will turn a joke into a fight. Whatever happened to laughing it off? Even joking about it?

These people are a joke.

So basically, that magistrate is saying that someone like me cannot stand surety for the man. It's alright then.

Nice input.

aventura:
you are not making any sense. Stop playing the devil's advocate. It's either you are for or against. Then state the reasons why.

I intended that for only those with brains to understand.

Like I said on another thread,

Soon as they lost power at the top, they now clamor for a devolution of power so that they can continue their evil deeds at the local levels with no thought or conscience.

If you cannot do any good with the little power you have, what more can you achieve with an overwhelming one?

Pesin wey go help no dey wait until him make one million before him dash beggar hundred naira. Because the instant you make that money, na car levels, beggar no go take eye see you again.

I'm not against fiscal federalism of any sort, as it wouldn'thave any impacts on me personally. But truth be told, it's more of the same.

Soon as powers get devolved from the center, these self-interested individuals have the tendencies to make it seem farther from the populace than it ever was. Talk about things changing right before your eyes.

When even your own local government chairman becomes hard to reach soon as he becomes and the LG was intended to be the government closest to the people.

Or is it not the exact same hawkish people that will continue leading the federating units? These people are in it for their own gains, nothing more. I'd rather have one emperor than have six devouring all at once, not to mention 36.

Just give them enough powers to get by.

This man is a clown.

Whose interest is this useless mend fighting for?? Its now obvious that mend has been hijacked by APC politicians like Amaechi to sabotage the Niger Delta interests. What a shame!!

Whose interests is the NDA fighting for?
