Guy, with all due respect, don't get things twisted. Unless you want to engage in 'abosi', you have to acknowledge that a cross-section of Yorubas have been very vocal in their condemnation of Buhari's silence and indifferent attitude toward the herdsmen atrocities; I personally have been consistent in my condemnation of his leadership style since he assumed office on this very forum. That some Yorubas still choose to express support for him shouldn't excuse that fact -- after all, he also has supporters from other regions as well even up till now.

Now, as far as his reelection is concerned, Yorubas alone can't stop his ambition. While our region may be considered critical 'swing voters' due to the unpredictability of our voting pattern, one cannot overlook other variables that will also come into play. In any case, it looks like we will be limited to choosing between two patrons of the same terrorist Fulani herdsmen anyway (Buhari and Atiku). Only far-reaching restructuring that grant the regions/geopoliitical zones the autonomy to run their own affairs, or outright disintegration of this psuedo-nation can bring a lasting solution to the myriad of problems afflicting this country.

Next election in 2019 i am gonna look out for a man with leadership qualities backed with excellent track record of leadership skills. Enough of this mess.

Fulani Herdsmen Killed Some people in Kaduna, they Blamed Governor Elrufai, And The Same Herdsmen killed Some people in Benue They blame Buhari...

They want to campaign with people's misfortunes..

The United States on Monday vetoed a draft UN resolution rejecting President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, after all 14 other Security Council members backed the measure.
The veto cast by US Ambassador Nikki Haley highlighted Washington’s isolation over Trump’s announcement that the US embassy will be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, effectively ignoring Palestinian claims on the city.

Key US allies Britain, France, Italy, Japan and Ukraine were among the 14 countries in the 15-member council that backed the measure asserting that any decisions on the status of Jerusalem “have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded.”

“The United States will not be told by any country where we can put our embassy,” Haley told the council after the veto.

Egypt put forward the draft resolution which insists that Jerusalem is an issue “to be resolved through negotiations” between Israel and the Palestinians and expresses “deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem”, without specifically mentioning Trump’s move.

The United States along with Britain, China, France and Russia can veto any resolution presented to the council, which requires nine votes for adoption

Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest freedom fighters in human history once said “The moment you look upon a group of people and proclaim them all to be bad, then know that you are worse yourself” Also, I am adding that “To understand your enemy, put yourself in his shoes and try and consider all his peculiarities so that you may at least understand his motives”

Nigeria.. our dear country. If we start to analyze all that is wrong with Nigeria today, we will end up cursing ourselves for bringing such a stupid task upon ourselves. We have problems, same goes for everything that is existent. That being said, I believe that our most pronounced problem was between the citizens and our ever looting political class but it seems we have gotten over that and have resorted to hating our fellow suffering citizens.

I have never in my life had personal reasons to curse and hate somebody because he/she is not my tribesman and I believe same goes for most of us. My problem has always been how the country has been cursed with leaders from the lowest class of mental wellbeing and those that don’t love humanity. If I have any reason to hate a whole tribe or ethnic group, then I’m worse off according to Nelson Mandela.

The forerunners in the problems of our dear country: Corruption, Nepotism, Tribalism, Poverty, Hunger, to mention but a few affects directly or indirectly 99% of all the homes you’ll come across in Nigeria. So when we complain of these problems, how is it not affecting us all..? Is there a tribe that is above these problems?? If we count the number of rich hausa men, believe me the number of rich igbo men might surpass it, same might go for the number of rich Yoruba individuals, same for ijaw, Ibibio, efik, tivs, urhobo and so on and....

YES! There was a civil war, Igbos were killed in their millions, Igbos were given £20 after the war, Igbos have been marginalized, every living thing is against you as an Igbo man.. well believe what you want but I’ve come to realize that in the world we live in, nobody cares about you, if you are looking for pity, my dear you’ll not find it anywhere. The war was a mistake, yes! but from an unbiased viewpoint, the war was fought for oil. Ojukwu could never convince Nigerians even till today that he fought for the freedom of his people, can I vouch for him? Can you? Remember he died a Nigerian, while millions perished as Biafrans

If we Igbos were all good as we claim, why don’t we see our legislators always barking in the National Assembly about the perceived marginalization of their people, why haven’t our governors used the little resources allocated to us to transform Igboland into the egalitarian society we believe Biafra will bring. Please I’m not here to condemn my people mind you, but all I’m saying is that we are Nigerians by heart and Nigeria will follow us wherever we go, be it Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa or whatever. What we have today in Nigeria will also be personified wherever we run to.
My people why the hate!?

Yes we may claim they started it first but is this the best way to go about it? The King of the greatest empire there is and is to be, our Lord Jesus Christ told us that revenge is not for us. I’m not sorry for bringing Christ into this talk because I believe in Him. The hate we are spreading is too much for even us. If someone tells you that an entire tribe or ethnic group is your problem, and then by Mandela’s analogy, that person is worse off, we should know who to follow.

The hate has left the internet and entered the streets and now the python has come to dance. It will be a long debate if we are to discuss our present government and their style of ruling but remember that whoever is in Aso Rock will go and Nigeria will remain.

Nigeria has the potentials to become very great if only we can have a leader who will inspire patriotism in all of us. A leader like Mandela who not minding the percentage of votes he got from a particular zone, will call all of us to the tables and demand we work together for our country. It will start like an ember but never underestimate the capability of a good leader. All our problems including religious intolerance, insecurity, terrorism etc are all mirages if we can have just one good leader.

The call for Biafra is unnecessary because whichever way we look at it, it is a call for war and war should be the last resort and our last resort should be our very last resort. Besides if we get Biafra with the method we are employing now, we’ll be surrounded with embittered neighbours and a man who has enemies as neighbours is never really at peace, ask Israel if you think otherwise.

The hatred should stop, let’s give peace an nth chance

From a Concerned Citizen

MARSONE:
My name is Aden and this post is to make every right thinking Nigerian within the ages of 18-45 angry and take their destinies into their hands. I have close to 2000 friends on Facebook and without an iota of doubt over 90% of you reading this are Nigerians. You also have your own friends, they have their own friends so that’s just what you and I need to achieve this. It does not matter your geographical location once you are a Nigerian you will always be a Nigerian. The time to take our future into our young hands is now. We have all what it takes to make this happen. We don’t need money to do this but the internet which is the most powerful weapon ever invented by man.
Remember the last election; power changed hands in Nigeria and aside the billions spent in campaign, the major tool used by the then opposition to get to the seat of power was the internet. So you now see that we have this tool in our hands already?
What will it take for a young first degree, Msc or a PhD holder within the age range of 30-45 years, very intelligent, pragmatic, patriotic and sane young man or woman to rule this beautiful nation called Nigeria? It takes just you and your friends reading this? We have to make history that will be worth being thought in western schools long after we are gone. We already are making history all over the world though not in a good light most times.
We were told children are the leaders of tomorrow but tomorrow refused to come and 40 years isn’t even far from me and you reading this anymore. A house that is built for rent is never built with the tenant in mind and with compassion hence the shabby finishing. But the same landlord will build his personal house with so much details to the letter cos he will live in the house and wouldn’t want the house to collapse on his head. Same goes to our old parents who have been forcing themselves on us as leaders due to the fact that we the youths chose to take the back stage or are lazy. An old leader will just do his time in office without putting in much efforts to develop his country because he knows his or her time will be up soon on earth. Now a young leader of the age range of 30-45 years knows that his time on earth is still relatively long so will strive to develop his country and leave it better as he or she will partake in the good he/she brings.
All over the world there are young leaders that are leading their countries in the right direction. The latest example is france’s Emmanuel Macron who is just 40 and I am very sure we have like a million Macrons in Nigeria of today. It happened in France it can happen in Nigeria too. There are other countries with such young minds as presidents.
Do you know that there are more youths in Nigeria than the elderly? We have a higher percentage of 18-45 years old Nigerians than any other age range so we can shift the power play if we want to. Let us start the shifting process now. 2019 is very close. If all Nigerian youths vote for a youth, we will have a youth as the next president. Enough of 5 very old men deciding who leads over a 100 million bright intelligent minds. You can do it. I can do it. We can do it. Thank you for reading this. Rebroadcast till all the youths in Nigeria reads this.
