Zik's queer and strange preference for unitary system in a multi-ethnic society served as an inspiration to most Igbos and even the coup plotters and Aguyi Ironsi himself. Only Nzeogwu did not buy the crap of unitary system being marketed by Zik and his fellow Igbos cohort. While Aguyi Ironsi and Ojukwu were busy dismantling the federal structure and replacing it with Zik's unitary "one Nigeria", Nzeogwu condemned Ironsi and declared in his post-coup press interview that a confederacy was best for Nigeria.

I just observed that Fulani herdsmen attacks were not rampant like this when Jonathan was president. How come they are now so many these days, especially since their tribesman became president?

Flets:
These are no fulani herdsmen. .... these are mobile bokoharam. Nigerian army did not defeat bokoharam, their northern sponsors re-assigned them as fulani herdsmen.

Bokoharam has served its purpose in unseating the previous govt and have been mobilized into invasion of minority communities by same northern sponsors.

These are clear scripts being played out here and you'll never hear Buhari and his northern elders condemn it but will rather blame social media.

Buhari is clearly behind bokoharam and Fulani herdsmen menace. Every region must make plans to guard itself now.

Terry68:
That's no good reason to conclude, my brother.

During my days in the university; I used to devise different means of shaking and calling my close pals.

It could be by whistling, hand play, giving them odd names, e.t.c..

Most people associate same doctrine with their colleagues, wives,girlfriends, husband and so on..

You shouldn't capitalize that with your mental judgement.

I have the believe, Nigeria will be a great nation under this administration.

Miscellaneous:
say all u can! But know this :

We from the Niger deltans will never be a part of your Biafra no matter what! If u like talk heaven and earth, if u like convert Niger delta to south east online, if u like carry guns come Niger delta.…. we will tell u DAT our struggle is different and it is internally motivated. We don't want a case of what is happening in Sudan after the separation to north Sudan and south Sudan. We are afraid that we will become a minority in ur supposed Biafra and it won't be different from the Nigeria u guys call zoo everyday. We are not part of any scam called Biafra. As a warri boy, I go tell u truth.... make una carry una Biafra cum ipob go one side. For Christ sake we are fighting for resource control. Perhaps the foolishness of classifying delta state as an IBO state by u is because delta is a multi ethnic state. delta is unique... & it is the best in the country.... ask around. The major tribe in delta are the urhobos . How is delta an IBO state? In the Niger delta ibos truly have no oil resource & what then is ur basis of classifying IBO as the owner of Niger delta abi delta state? oh u were talking about asaba only? the obi speak IBO ? u are really funny.... so because of that they own asaba ? guy do well make boys nor use cane flog DAT obi go Onitsha o

PassingShot:
OP, you've made good points and I wholeheartedly support the grazing bill.

Those who oppose the bill, can you please suggest an alternative to ending the continuous clashes between the farmers and Fulani herdsmen?

What the govt is attempting to do is what is obtainable in developed countries of the world. You do not see their cattle farmers with their cattle on the street.

It's a bastard that brings insults to his/her parents. Now to your question. - No we Yorubas do not want to be in the same country with fraudsters, drug traffickers, money launderers, ritual killers, fake drug manufacturers, armed robbers, cultists, and prosti-tutes. We just force you to stay under us in Nigeria to teach you a lesson and let you realize that your destinies are in our hands. When we say sit, you sit. We we say jump into the lagoon, you jump. When we say cry, you cry. When we say fvck, you fvck.

I hope with these few points of mine, I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that we, ofemanus are not mates to good for nothing flat heads.

Thank you my fellow debaters and panel of judges.

McBrooklyn:
Firstly, this is Nigeria and there is the need to carefully review the kind of names we give our children. We are a nation with a deep rooted belief for culture and value. While many people prefer to give their children foreign names, many people do not want to lose touch with the culture we have tried to preserve for years.
That being said, there are some indigenous names you dare not name your child in this present age and day. Not only are these names bastardized, they have become a subject of ridicule amongst people. Some names in Nigeria depict stupidity and go on to portray the bearers of such names as people who are not smart and are naturally stupid.
It should be known that the names you give a child go a long way in that child’s future. A child named after wealth could become immensely rich people would start to marvel at his or her success. Give a child a name that means bitterness and you would be surprised to see that child goes through trials and tribulations all through his life.
Without wasting much time, check out some of the names you may not want to name a child in Nigeria:

1. Akpos
Please if your wife is expecting a child, do not include Akpos when you are compiling names to give that child. Akpos have become the joke of the century in Nigeria and is being used wildly in the entertainment world.
People who bear this name are so dumb they could hardly make sentences that are filled with good points. This character may stick to your unborn child as he may never be taken serious.

2. Sule
This name has Islamic background. Many Nigerians now use it when they want to mock people. A person being called Sule may not necessarily have that as his original name but then it means the person is not smart or intelligent.
Calling a person that is aimed at making him or her know he is acting stupid or actually stupid. If you go on naming your child that, don’t say we did not warn you.

3. Alice
This is the name most maids bear in Nigeria. We are sorry if that is your name but then, we are sure you would not want to name your child that too. Moreover, the name is becoming archaic so why bother naming your daughter that? Or do you want your child to become somebody’s maid in the nearest future?

4. Ekaette
This is a Calabar name and if you are familiar with people from this part of Nigeria, you would know they are wonderful cooks. There is really no problem giving your daughter this name if you have dreams of her becoming a cook.
Most of the girls portrayed as Ekaette are not just good in the kitchen; they have an added advantage when it comes to bedroom skills if you know what we mean.

5. Muri
This is a bit sad as we have a hero with the name Muritala. Yes we know people are trying to make the name sound more ‘Behind’ by coming up with ‘funkified’ versions of it. But forget that, Muri would always be Muri in Nigeria. And you definitely do not want to be called that or make an innocent child go through the agony of being mocked.

6. Dejo
This is a popular character in the Yoruba film industry but you do not want to have a child named that. Like all the other names mentioned here, this name has a meaning and it is rather unfortunate that the beauty of this name is being replaced with chronic stupidity.
Call your son Dejo and watch people add ‘Tufulu’ as the suffix.

7. Okoro
This is an Igbo name but people generally believe that a person called this has to be bald or someone with receding hairline. Why do you want your child a name like that? But then, you could ignore this and wake up to see your hairy child bald. Please do not go challenge your mother in-law abeg oh!

I drop my pen here, you can also add your's

They should all be given £20 each ........ wait oo ....... thats some good money now with our current exchange rate . Keneking com see

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Ask Goodluck how that turned out .


The west still has the SW pool of CIA agents that they can use to destabilize buhari's govt. The GEJ template was very effective.

The west also has both the Shiite and IPOB massacres to turn Buhari to an Omar Bashir and there is the Niger Delta Militants that can be turned to his own Boko Haram and unlike Boko Haram, the ND militants know where to bite very hard to hurt Buhari and Nijeriya at large.

SarahD:
It is obvious that those who reminice that the end is near for Nigeria do so out of their selfish desires or out of ideas instilled upon them by these selfish people.

Nursing the idea that Nigeria will divide soon will continue to create enmity and division among us. It will prolong our problem but it will not come to pass as I firmly believe that it is not the will of God for this country. But for the sake of those who pray fervently for the unity of this country, God will not allow Nigeria to divide. If Nigeria should divide today, I am certain that what is happening in the Middle East today will erupt and one country will see another as an enemy. If you do not envision this, I do. Let us appreciate what we have now. That which we seek might not be as rosy as you think. Let us reason properly before we come out with some decisions that will destroy our lives forever.

We should avoid nursing all these negative thoughts in our minds. It will continue to create enmity and division among us. Let us have a positive outlook. By the time each one of us realise that Nigeria can become a better nation, that is when we will see good things come out of Nigeria. That is when we can experience development. We should not allow politics and tribalism becloud our sense of judgement.

Nigeria must be great.

Zico5:
That is nonsense,but let me ask, if per adventure Nigeria distingrate as predicted, who is going to lose? Only wailers. North is the basketmouth of the nation, south west the commercial nerve of the nation, south south also with their oil. Then tell me a single thing the south east will hold unto. Don't let me deceive u, if south east think they want to go because of south south oil, there will be war because south south are also wise now. They know the antics of south east, so will never give in to any amalgamation. It will be sweet if everyone maintain his fathers name but I still believe in entity called Nigeria.

How does traveling from place to place save the economy.
With True Federalism, Nigeria will fully exploit her potentials without resulting to 419 loans.

Confused country, confused Obama, had loads of respect for him until he turned gay even though he married wit 2 kids... his gay partner hasn't bin able to give birth!
Mugabe awaits him immediately he rounds his tenure off, his asssss must be drilled by an African magnum

DaisyII:
UK & US should find a couch and make their arse comfortable...I mean,who made them a watchdog over the affairs of other independent state.

If only Buhari would understand that we are the solution to our problem.

US,leave us alone.We are a Sovereign state.

Tokety7:
1) First and foremost, this is azikwe road alongside the monorail track and not aba road
2) I still made use of Azikwe road late last week, there is nothing wrong with that road as at that week and no worker was working on the road.
Is it that between last week and this week, this road went bad and contractor are immediately mobilized?
3) Monorail was never abandoned by Amaechi, it was ongoing. Instead wike abandoned it having sworn not to touch it. use ur head.

Pending when i will ply this same road next week Gods willing to authenticate what i am seeing here, i can sense lies somewhere.

Sum1 is making money off her brand others are vexing, some Nigerians have one big heavy problem.

dukie25:
Tinubu was a mere drug and money laundrier in the US, he is now the richest ex-governor in Nigeria.

Am not of the school of thought that believes he made his billions from drugs.
I think Tinubu made his billions fleecing Lagosians, either way he made his billions through criminal activities.

andyanders:
Kemi has been a sick person just like FFK who has been a drug addict and once a product of Yaba Psycho home for those on drug abuse.

No sane person would be talking trash about the the person he dated during his youth when he is aware that that person has been legally married and have children.

FFK has been an irresponsible fellow who NEVER kept his earlier marriage to a woman who gave birth to the children of whom he also denied that he fathered them.

Both Femi and FFK are sick people and the world knew about this.I pity the woman he is now to and I know she is there because of the flow of cash he made or has.

Ikechu12781:

They living out their fantasy from FFK, not knowing FFK dey fantasize too.
You can't help but feel their pain

T9sky...I'll help you and tell you exactly how FFK got Bianca. First: Download Bianca's pictures on google, get tissue, get lotion. Go to your room and have your intimate relationship with her like your FFK did.

DTaj:
Hypocrisy has become the norm among some Nigerians:

Fani Kayode recently listed so many Igbo women he had slept with (including Bianca Ojukwu) and some of us here insulted him so much. Now, the same Fani Kayode is their hero because he hates and insults Buhari!

Kemi Olunloyo recently claimed to have changed her name to Nkem, an Igbo name. She denounced her origin and became Igbo. In fact, she supports Biafra and IPOB everyday on her facebook page. Some of us here praised her and splashed superlative adjectives on her. Now, the same Kemi Olunloyo is a mad single mother only because she said the truth about Bianca's two aborted pregnancies for Fani Kayode!

Some of you deserve a gold medal in hypocrisy!!!
