maclatunji: That the majority of Nigerians are not pleased with the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan in the last 4 years is not in doubt following his defeat at the polls.
However, he cannot have failed totally and must have made some positive impact in certain aspects of governance.
So, what policies of President Goodluck Jonathan would you like President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to maintain and build on for the benefit of Nigerians? Sanity and stability in the banking sector. Humility in service at the highest point of service. Freedom of expression. Elimination of state sponsored assassinations. |

Politics › Re: Why I Conceded Defeat To Buhari – Jonathan by Mbediogu(m): 7:35am On Apr 17, 2015 |
Equalizer: President Goodluck Jonathan has defended his decision to concede defeat to Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28 election, saying he was concerned about allowing his personal ambition scuttle a democratic system he helped nurtured, with the likely consequence of a “collective tragedy”. Mr. Jonathan said Thursday that he needed to check his ambition, as the consequences of not doing so may have been dire not only for Nigeria, but Africa.
The president made the remarks during separate meetings with the new ambassadors of France, Senegal and Ethiopia. He was responding to commendations for his decision to promptly accept defeat after it became clear Mr. Buhari had won the polls.
“Democracy has to be nurtured to grow. Strong democratic institutions are the backbone and future of our democracy. They must be protected and nurtured. As for me, as a matter of principle, it is always the nation first,” Mr. Jonathan said. “You need to have a nation before you can have an ambition. It should always be the nation first. You don’t have to scuttle national progress for personal ambition.
“Since I assumed duty, I have been involved in quelling political crisis in some African countries and I know what they passed through and what some are still going through. If you scuttle a system for personal ambition, it becomes a collective tragedy,’’ President Jonathan declared. Mr. Jonathan urged world leaders and international institutions to give their fullest possible support to the incoming administration of Buhari. He also called on all Nigerians to do their utmost best to help the incoming president succeed in leading the country to greater heights of accomplishment.
The president appealed for patience, understanding and cooperation, which, he said, Mr. Buhari will need to move the country forward to greater, peace, security and progress.
Speaking with the new French ambassador, Denis Guaer, President Jonathan urged France to extend the support and assistance it gave to his administration to Mr. Buhari’s government. “President Francois Hollande was our guest in Nigeria during the celebration of Nigeria’s centenary. He has been very supportive of the country in the fight against terrorism. I expect that the same warmth and goodwill will be extended to the incoming government. I expect that France will continue to work with the new administration, especially on issues of terrorism.
“The United Nations has been supportive as well. Our troops, supported by regional forces, have done very well in fighting the terrorists in recent times. What we need now is support to help our people get back their lives,’’ he said.
The ambassadors commended President Jonathan for setting a record of humility, patriotism and courage in safeguarding the democratic process in Nigeria and Africa.
“Nigeria is not only an economic power in the world today, but also a great democratic example. And it is all by your effort, Mr. President. The last elections and your response was truly a great achievement and you will always be remembered for it,” the French ambassador told the President.
Mr. Guaer, the new Ambassador of Senegal, Baboucar Sambe, and the new Ambassador of Ethiopia, Samia Zekaria Gutu, who were at the Presidential Villa to present their letters of credence to President Jonathan, also assured him that they will do their best to strengthen relations between Nigeria and their countries during their tenure.

Don't blame Jonathan for surrounding himself with the kind of people he did. Blame quota system and political structures. The financiers and party bigwigs who sponsored him gave him their minions most of whom are office_space occupiers and spies for their ogas. If those men were intelligent, their oga would not trust them and they would not get there. If Jonathan rejected them, he would be impeached. It is all regional and godfather politics till further notice. Buhari has a lot to do, and deserves our collective prayers. |

Christianity Etc › Re: How Some Ladies Attract Spirit Husbands by Mbediogu(m): 1:07pm On Apr 12, 2015 |
Honesty007: Spirit Husbands have been long in operation in the time Of Adam as the bible tells us in Genesis 6:1-3. These spirit husbands are the fallen Angels called the SONS OF GOD formally Angels of God now turned Demons after the fall with Satan. Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men,that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of whom they choose!!!
When i first read this verse i thought it was like true angels before until i came to discover it was demons.This is exhibited in their character which is ''Violence''
verses 3 and 4 explains also the type of children borne out from the Demon-human relationship ie Mighty men,Of old and renown.some where Giants. It is so glaring that they were not of God. Now what or the main Topic of discussion here is that they saw Earthly women as beautiful, They took them for wives,meaning anyhow, as they like.
Only God know how these earthly women dressed, maybe naked or half naked or properely of Fashionably to an extent that these demons saw an outward appearance that can be soo attractive, apealing and revealing for them to take them wthout even the consent of their husbands as their wives.
It gives u a clear understanding of the wicked Nature of demons called Spirit husband. Spirit husband attaches itself to a female being of earth right from conception or infantry,to adolescent and youth to aged.
There is no Girl,woman under heaven that spirit husband is not detailed to marry or take for as a wife. These husbands come in many forms. 1)Familiar form-if u r a lady or girl or woman and you have somebody that you are Familiar with or know on earth ie a male person. Lets say u have a close relationship with that person physically and it is getting nearer to marriage and one day u sleep and see him making love to you. You would think that it is truely him and even when u see him the next day u would begin to have some kind of feelings which may look passionate,lusting,seductive as if he should knack u physically at that moment. What you didn't know is that Spirit Husband camouflages or takes the image or form of people you are Familiar with to carry out their Assignment.
If you don't pray and undergo deliverance and break ur soultie with such, you are in for a lifetime problem 2)This spirit husband is under the domain of waterspirit all over the world.If ur Ancestors served idols or river goddesses or gods or wher looking for a child in haste and got from water spirit,they would covenant u to them. What other things do u expect smh. Today many people keep roaming about the streets nt knowing how they were born, who they where or where they came from. Many ladies don't or haven't even asked their parent where or how they were born. Characteristics of water spirit children are worldliness, High wave of fornication, Anger,seduction,lust,Hatred of men of God and things of God, they get money or are soo rich that u think they are working. Any man can fall for them and finally, their spirit Husband kills men around them. So if u r the type that wanted to marry and few months to the Marriage, ur physical husband gets killed in any way,pls never ever blame God for that or the devil,blame ur spirit husband whom u know or have or ignorantly u never knew was responsible for such. Ie u remember a player of Nigerian U-23 team who died in Greece in a car accident some years ago? It was the spirit husband of the lady he wanted to Marry that killed him. Didn't u see the way the young girl was soo beautiful?.what do u expect, she might even have been ignorant of having spirit husband.
Thats the work of spirit husband ooh:: now how do ladies attract spirit husband? The way u dress! If u r the type that is soo fashionitic,u would attract spirit husband because most or all of the Fashion Materials worn today are from Watermarine kingdom.The proof is in Revelation 18:11-14. Most succeful business men have coveant with waterspirit and she gives them also Logos for their products. She trades with the ''souls of Men''.rev 18:13..and bodies n souls of men... When a preacher keeps warning u about the way u dress and u keep refusing.know that u r in for trouble cos spirit husband would come after u. Many unmarried today are as a result of spirit husband who warns the earthly fiancee to stay off his chick or get killed. That is why suitors never come again and u keep waiting.u never know that spirit hisband has chased away ur fiance.
Solution:be born aagain, undergo serious deliverance,own up and break ur siultie with spirit husband. Don't dress worldly ever again or expose ur body.dont do hair attchment or any hairdo.God would be with u and deliver u. If u r not married, very soon u would get the right choice.
Takia.God bless......TML All the native doctors have suddenly become pastors and imams because religion is yet unregulated in Nigeria. Can a Christian cleric say that in France, Spain or Argentina? Can a Muslim cleric say such in Saudi, Bangladesh, Turkey or Saudi? Those are people know God and regulate those who minister unto Him. Praise God. |

Politics › Re: Chimamanda Adichie's Article On The Oba Of Lagos Saga by Mbediogu(m): 8:37am On Apr 11, 2015 |
ControlX: A few days ago, the Oba of Lagos threatened Igbo leaders. If they did not vote for his governorship candidate in Lagos, he said, they would be thrown into the lagoon. His entire speech was a flagrant performance of disregard. His words said, in effect: I think so little of you that I don’t have to cajole you but will just threaten you and, by the way, your safety in Lagos is not assured, it is negotiable. There have been condemnations of the Oba’s words. Sadly, many of the condemnations from non-Igbo people have come with the ugly impatience of expressions like ‘move on,’ and ‘don’t be over-emotional’ and ‘calm down.’ These take away the power, even the sincerity, of the condemnations. It is highhanded and offensive to tell an aggrieved person how to feel, or how quickly to forgive, just as an apology becomes a non-apology when it comes with ‘now get over it.’ Other condemnations of the Oba’s words have been couched in dismissive or diminishing language such as ‘The Oba can’t really do anything, he isn’t actually going to kill anyone. He was joking. He was just being a loudmouth.’
Or – the basest yet – ‘we are all prejudiced.’ It is dishonest to respond to a specific act of prejudice by ignoring that act and instead stressing the generic and the general. It is similar to responding to a specific crime by saying ‘we are all capable of crime.’ Indeed we are. But responses such as these are diversionary tactics. They dismiss the specific act, diminish its importance, and ultimately aim at silencing the legitimate fears of people.
We are indeed all prejudiced, but that is not an appropriate response to an issue this serious. The Oba is not an ordinary citizen. He is a traditional ruler in a part of a country where traditional rulers command considerable influence – the reluctance on the part of many to directly chastise the Oba speaks to his power. The Oba’s words matter. He is not a singular voice; he represents traditional authority. The Oba’s words matter because they are enough to incite violence in a political setting already fraught with uncertainty. The Oba’s words matter even more in the event that Ambode loses the governorship election, because it would then be easy to scapegoat Igbo people and hold them punishable.
Nigerians who consider themselves enlightened might dismiss the Oba’s words as illogical. But the scapegoating of groups – which has a long history all over the world – has never been about logic. The Oba’s words matter because they bring worrying echoes of the early 1960s in Nigeria, when Igbo people were scapegoated for political reasons. Chinua Achebe, when he finally accepted that Lagos, the city he called home, was unsafe for him because he was Igbo, saw crowds at the motor park taunting Igbo people as they boarded buses: ‘Go, Igbo, go so that garri will be cheaper in Lagos!’ Of course Igbo people were not responsible for the cost of garri. But they were perceived as people who were responsible for a coup and who were ‘taking over’ and who, consequently, could be held responsible for everything bad.
Any group of people would understandably be troubled by a threat such as the Oba’s, but the Igbo, because of their history in Nigeria, have been particularly troubled. And it is a recent history. There are people alive today who were publicly attacked in cosmopolitan Lagos in the 1960s because they were Igbo. Even people who were merely light-skinned were at risk of violence in Lagos markets, because to be light-skinned was to be mistaken for Igbo.
Almost every Nigerian ethnic group has a grouse of some sort with the Nigerian state. The Nigerian state has, by turns, been violent, unfair, neglectful, of different parts of the country. Almost every ethnic group has derogatory stereotypes attached to it by other ethnic groups.
But it is disingenuous to suggest that the experience of every ethnic group has been the same. Anti-Igbo violence began under the British colonial government, with complex roots and manifestations. But the end result is a certain psychic difference in the relationship of Igbo people to the Nigerian state. To be Igbo in Nigeria is constantly to be suspect; your national patriotism is never taken as the norm, you are continually expected to prove it.
All groups are conditioned by their specific histories. Perhaps another ethnic group would have reacted with less concern to the Oba’s threat, because that ethnic group would not be conditioned by a history of being targets of violence, as the Igbo have been.
Many responses to the Oba’s threat have mentioned the ‘welcoming’ nature of Lagos, and have made comparisons between Lagos and southeastern towns like Onitsha. It is valid to debate the ethnic diversity of different parts of Nigeria, to compare, for example, Ibadan and Enugu, Ado-Ekiti and Aba, and to debate who moves where, and who feels comfortable living where and why that is. But it is odd to pretend that Lagos is like any other city in Nigeria. It is not. The political history of Lagos and its development as the first national capital set it apart. Lagos is Nigeria’s metropolis. There are ethnic Igbo people whose entire lives have been spent in Lagos, who have little or no ties to the southeast, who speak Yoruba better than Igbo. Should they, too, be reminded to be ‘grateful’ each time an election draws near?
No law-abiding Nigerian should be expected to show gratitude for living peacefully in any part of Nigeria. Landlords in Lagos should not, as still happens too often, be able to refuse to rent their property to Igbo people.
The Oba’s words were disturbing, but its context is even more disturbing:
The anti-Igbo rhetoric that has been part of the political discourse since the presidential election results. Accusatory and derogatory language – using words like ‘brainwashed,’ ‘tribalistic voting’ – has been used to describe President Jonathan’s overwhelming win in the southeast. All democracies have regions that vote in large numbers for one side, and even though parts of Northern Nigeria showed voting patterns similar to the Southeast, the opprobrium has been reserved for the Southeast.
But the rhetoric is about more than mere voting. It is really about citizenship. To be so entitled as to question the legitimacy of a people’s choice in a democratic election is not only a sign of disrespect but is also a questioning of the full citizenship of those people.
What does it mean to be a Nigerian citizen? When Igbo people are urged to be ‘grateful’ for being in Lagos, do they somehow have less of a right as citizens to live where they live? Every Nigerian should be able to live in any part of Nigeria. The only expectation for a Nigerian citizen living in any part of Nigeria is to be law-abiding.
One thousand likes! God bless u. But I regret to tell u that u just wasted ur valuable ink and time. The British created the simmering hatred between Nigerians for their own gains. They are also the ones sustaining it. The British High Commissioner in Lagos may be privy to this saga.

EroticAngelina: Gay Nigerian pastor, Jide Macaulay took to facebook to write a letter to homophobes this morning. Read what he wrote
Open Letter to Homophobes Far too many people play God and dehumanize Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Trans, and Intersex people throughout the world, in every culture, race, background etc. The discrimination is so bad that it leaves many LGBTI people wondering and asking questions. This letter to Homophobes is being reproduced to answer many questions people have asked me. Both heterosexuals and homosexual people, People of all faith have claimed that homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. Dear Homophobes, Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your bigoted rhetoric, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, they are clobbered with Leviticus 18:22 which clearly state it to be an abomination...End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense. 4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problems are my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them? 5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. Clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it? 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination? 7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here? 8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die? 9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
The Other Child of the living God.

[quote author=ozoigbondu post=32416645]The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-cultural organisation of Ndigbo, has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Oba of Lagos, Alhaji Rilwan Akiolu, to “retract and unconditionally apologise to Ndigbo” over his alleged death threat to Ndigbo living in Lagos should they fail to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Akinwumi Ambode, on April 11. Apart from positing that democracy confers on the electorate, the freedom of choice, OYC said it considered the comments credited to Akiolu as “a despicable insult on the Igbo nation, home and abroad, least expected of a royal father in the rank of Oba of Lagos.” The group called on security agencies to invite the Oba for questioning because of the grave dangers his current posture portends while lambasted the monarch for employing crude arm-twisting, obtaining by tricks tactics. The monarch had reportedly threatened to make life unbearable for the Igbos in Lagos if they sabotage efforts being made to ensure that Ambode emerges as the next governor of the state. Akiolu was said to have summoned all the Eze-Ndigbo in Lagos State to his palace yesterday and told them: “On Saturday, if anyone of you goes against Ambode, who I picked, that is your end. If it does not happen within seven days, just know that I am a bastard and it is not my father who gave birth to me. “By the grace of God, I am the owner of Lagos for the time being. On Saturday, if anyone of you, I swear in the name of God, goes against my wish that Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos State, the person is going to die inside this water. “For the Igbo and others in Lagos, they should go where the Oba of Lagos heads to. When they were coming to the state, they did not come with all their houses. But now, they have properties in the state. So they must do my bidding. And that is the bidding of the ancestors of Lagos and God. “I am not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi is my blood relation and I told him that he could never be governor in Lagos for now. I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere you cannot do it here.” Reacting to the monarch’s outburst, OYC, in a statement issued this afternoon in Umuahia and endorsed by its National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, warned that “Igbo youths will not take this insult lightly, and unless he apologises within 48 hours he should know he is courting our wrath.” OYC further warned that should anything happen to Ndigbo or their business interests in Lagos in the event of APC losing the Lagos governorship race, the Oba should be held responsible. “Inasmuch as we do not want to get involved in Lagos politics, we want to sound a note of warning that no Igbo should be vilified or persecuted for his or her electoral choice in Lagos or any part of Nigeria,” the group said. “Every Nigerian has the constitutional right to reside in any part of the country and participate in the electoral process based on one’s convictions, and electoral choice is not a crime,” it added. Isiguzoro said “nobody no matter what he thinks he is, has the right to command Ndigbo anywhere on who to vote for in a democratic setting.” He said that the unprintable comments credited to the Oba had only revealed his innate hatred for Ndigbo. The Oba, according to him, “should be reminded that the economy of Lagos will collapse should Ndigbo decide to pull their investments from the commercial city.” He said that “Ndigbo have remained the most persecuted , hated and marginalised tribe in Nigeria , yet the most enterprising and highest contributors to the growth of its economy, peace and unity.” OYC asserted that the Igbo race needs commendation and not hatred for their ingenuity, versatility and presence in every part of the country, adding that God has destined Ndigbo to prosper in any part of the world, even in hostile environments. The group, therefore, encouraged Ndigbo in Lagos and elsewhere to vote according to their conscience in the forthcoming polls without fear of intimidation. http://naija247news.com/2015/04/ohanaeze-gives-oba-of-lagos-48-hours-to-withdraw-threat-to-igbos/The collective voting Igbo conscience favors one man. He knows himself and the Igbo know him. Those who dont know will know on Saturday. As for the retired and tired IPO who is now in charge of Lagoons, no more words for him till we meet at Philippi. |

REALODUA: we know people like you, abuse Yoruba on the forum while you make all your living on its land, that lagoon will judge you. As oba said so shall it be. Vote pdp and die in lagoon. What is this? How do Igbos make all their money in your land, by folding their hands? They sell goods and services that you need but are too lazy, too proud to provide for yourself. Go and bake in the oven my friend. Is your lagoon deeper than the Niger? Ask Murtala. |

KazeemDiary: The palace of the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, has issued a statement, clarifying the Oba’s statement when Igbo leaders in Lagos visited him on Sunday. Read full statement below.
THE PALACE MAKES FURTHER CLARIFICATION ON THE STATEMENT BY THE OBA OF LAGOS. My attention has been drawn to a publication in a national newspaper where HRM Oba Riliwanu Akinolu was alleged to have threatened Igbos in Lagos to make them vote for Ambode.
Last Sunday, all honorary Eze Ndigbos in Lagos paid a courtesy call to HRM Oba Akinolu. At the meeting the visitors praised the Oba for his fatherly support for and cooperation with Igbos in. Lagos. They assured him of their continued good neighborliness with other tribes in Lagos and support everything that’ll further strengthen that harmony.
Oba Akiolu on his part acknowledged the enviable performance of Governor Fashola and his contribution to the growth of investments in Lagos. He gave the assurance that he is not disturbed or angry with South-East and South- South votes for President Jonathan as perceived by the Eze Ndigbos. The Obas thereafter called on the Igbos chiefs to show appreciation to Lagos State by supporting his candidate Mr. Ambode for continuity of excellence as they have earlier promised. He assured them of his continued support and assistance where needed and the meeting ended with the traditional breaking of kolas, alligator pepper, and bitter kola and pouring of liberation on the ground. It was within this context that that the tradition of Lagos with regard to the lagoon came up. It was noted that whoever works against the throne and the interest and peaceful co-existence of Lagos would end up in the lagoon as per tradition.
2.Oba Akiolu stated further that the Igbo people have not betrayed the throne. Lagos has also not betrayed the Igbo people. Lagos has done so much to make the Igbos comfortable and to prosper. For this, we expect reciprocal respect and understanding. The Oba of Lagos prays that the Lagoon and the throne will continue to bless and protect all those who reside and visit Lagos.
3. Oba Akiolu is the father of all irrespective of tribe, religion or political persuasion. In Lagos, we have an old traditional proverb that relates to the Lagoon. The Lagoon is unique to Lagos. The proverb stresses the need for unity and understanding when you do business in an environment and in this case when you live and do business in Lagos. Oba Akiolu prays for peace for the land of Lagos and prosperity for all its inhabitants. Signed: Chief Lateef Aderibigbe Ajose, Opeluwa of Lagos April 6, 2015
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/180665-alleged-anti-igbo-comment-what-oba-akiolu-really-said-palace.html . Important clue words / sentences are missing. They have to be place for truth to emerge. Things like 'will die within 7 days' , 'call me bastard' and others. Though I find it hard to believe that an Oba said those words, I find it harder to believe that they were concocted by opposition. Whatever happens, no Igboman should allow himself to be caught unawares. Umunnam bi na Lagos, tetanu nura. Onye ndi iro gbara gburugburu na eche ndu ya nche mgbe dum. Unu arahakwana ura, biko nu. |

ayokellany: . Please quit making excuse n vote for your choice. The Obas comment as far as I am concern is silly and so is yours. How many Obas endorse Jonathan n how many Obas ward did Jonathan win ? The fact is your comment is riddled with lunacy concorted with the stupidity of the highest order. Sorry if my comment offend you but you are extremely foolish to judge a race on the action of one man. She is perfectly in order. Memories die hard. A leopard would hardly shade its spots. Yorubas are terrible here and in diaspora, ask the Brazilians. The poor lady is one of those disappointed Nigerians. I also was born in Lagos, baptised at St Jude's Anglican church Ebute Metta in the 50's by late Rev. Dedeke. Then my parents lived in Lagos street, Ebute Metta, then later at 21 Colby Avenue, Ikeja GRA. ln all developed countries, I and that poor woman you tried to hush should have had full rights in Lagos as all Yorubas of our time but here you are shouting her down because of her tribe. Let me ask you, why did Yourubas fight to prevent actualization of Biafra when that was the easiest way to rid your Lagos of Igbos? Fools per excellence! We will burn down Lagos ans sow salt in your land if you dare to try us. Igbos will vote who ther like anywhere in Nigeria. |

BluStreak: Wow! This oba is fanning the ambers of war. His utterances are despicable and uncouth for an oba. In sane climes, this man will be answering some questions for his inciting statements. This is a trait to a people and his sons and daughters are here supporting this outburst. Know ye all that no one truly wins a war and Lagos might be left desolate at the end. We still have enough time left before the election, the man Ambode should better come and disassociate himself from this insanity so it won't hurt him.
This is a wake up call for the Ibos in Lagos and other south west states. This is just a prelude to what is to come. The Yoruba's hatched a conspiracy which is to fool us into developing their lands, which we have done. The time to send us parking is near and the war song is playing gradually. It's time to repatriate our wealth and develope our land. We can build the Ibo land to surpass lagos and Abuja put together. We stand to loose a lot but our generations to come won't have to face these kinds of brutal hate/trait.
Igbo mma mma nu. Igbo kaaa nu. It is only fools like my broda inlaw who has several houses in Lagos and none at home who will suffer. The wise ones make the money and invest outside the country. He thinks Nigeria is one and even boasts about his kingdom in Lagos. The Oba has shown that his people will never change. Any Igboman voting against Agbaje is a baaastard. |

dre11: http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=113029 I hope the international body is listening. People are being coerced to vote against their choice in a modern democracy by a retired bribe taking police man who obviously has taken bribe and is to act against his 'blood brother'. IS AN OBA OR ANY TRADITIONAL RULER FOR THAT MATTER SUPPOSED TO BE SO OPENLY PARTISAN AND DIVISIVE IN HIS KINGDOM? He ought to be dethroned like Kosoko. Is that not the highest form of rigging? Are the Yoruba Lagosians all agreed upon the Oba's political candidate? If they are, no amount of Igbo vote will change that. Why target Igbos alone? The Oba is trying to reverse the disaster that God used the goodness of GEJ and GMB to avert. Even the APC and PDP have not gone to that extent of forcing people to vote under threat of life and property. A political Oba. A disgrace to traditional institution. I weep for the revered Obaship stool that Oyekan and others occupied in the past. Oba ko, Abo ni. The Igbos and all non Youruba Lagosians should disregard the threat and vote according to their conscience. If Nigeria breaks we know who is responsible and their death (for those who may drown according to the oba) will not be in vain. If we are to take the oba s threat serious, he should tell us what will happen to his arch enemies (Igbos) if out of fear they vote en masse for Ambode but the other party successfully rig him out. Cheese brain oba yoruba. The Ooni, Alaffin or all the other real and self respecting Obas will never condescend to this crass level because a temporary 4 year tenure governorship interest. I believe he speaks for himself alone. |

[quote author=PapiWata post=32335357]I have seen the picture some people sneaking away with the goat. Stop them for me, I command you. They have NO RIGHT to remove that goat from the scene of that accident, until AFTER NPF Sgt. Okon has finished his investigation, with all exhibits taken to the DPO as a first step. eti This is a serious matter, OP. You cannot simply hide behind your camera and record these crimes without doing something to stop the culprits before they escape.
You must leap into action NOW ! Stop the GOAT !
The goat was responsible for the accident. Haven been granted Police bail for 5000 with two sureties in like sum, the owners are taking the goat for treatment at the Makurdi veterinary FMC or Madonna hospital or Sandra hospital. All human causality are to be kept as exhibits at the B division, High Level Area near the Civil Service Staff college Makurdi until investigation is completed and matter charged to court. DCO take note and minute to headquareters. |
