Buhari assumes office on June, during a brief period of relatively steady electricity:
"SAI BUHARI! JUST LOOK AT MY FROZEN FRIDGE! THE GOOD WORKS OF PMB ARE STARTING TO SHOW WITHIN ONE WEEK AFTER HIS SWEARING IN! ELECTRICITY HAS BEEN FIXED USING NOTHING BUT HIS BODY LANGUAGE! CLUELESS GEJ HAD NO HAND IN THIS IMPROVEMENT."

Six months later, after wasting his four months without a policy direction or cabinet, and investors have fled the country in the wake of his moronic and thoughtless economic policies which have led to the Naira crumbling rapidly:
"BLAME GEJ AND 16 YEARS OF PDP. THEY, ALONG WITH IWEALA, 'DESTROYED' AWAH EKONOMEE BY REFUSING TO DIVERSIFY. HAVEN'T YOU READ THE LATEST PUBLICATION FROM SAHARA REPORTERS? BLAME GEJ BECAUSE SAHARA REPORTERS TOLD ME SO."

The wisdom of the negro.

Caseless:
Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Nigeria led by Rev. Fr. Camillus Ejike Mbaka has identified those criticising the prophecy on a plot to assassinate President Muhammadu Buhari as the key suspects.

The ministry’s Media Chief, Mr Ike Maximus Ugwuoke who described the critics as “democratic miscreants” insist that they should be held responsible if anything happens to the President.

Ugwuoke said “Are they guilty or privy to the plot which the man of God had exposed? The laborious manner with which they attacked the prophetic message in an attempt to filibuster and water it down betrays their innocence on this issue and this should make them prime suspects in the list of the nation’s intelligence security surveillance.

“Section 38(1) respects universal right to freedom of religion and to manifest and propagate same either or in community with others in public or private just as it guarantees freedom of expression in Section 39.

“If the Constitution which gave every citizen of this country the right to worship did not prohibit him from declaring the message he receives from the God he worships, we then wonder why a priest of God and a citizen of this country should be threatened for exercising his constitutional right.

“A situation where the fundamental human rights which is the tenet of the ideals of democracy is bastardised by an acclaimed human rights group that is meant to protect same is indeed worrisome and makes mockery of the nomenclature.”

A human rights group had threatened to drag Fr Mbaka to the Pope, if the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria failed to reproof him and stop him from actively associating with politician.

The ministry called on the human rights group to “withdraw that threat forthwith or face the legal consequence. We know of the utterances by many leaders of different churches at the beginning of this year who in exercise of their religious freedom predicted so many things such as plane crash, bank robbery, bank collapse, natural disasters etc, no one threatened to sanction them. The question is; why should Fr Mbaka’s prophecy always attract venomous criticism by some Nigerian, especially by the so-called Christians who will never talk about the manifest miracles of God through him and his consummate charitable life?

“Was the fulfillment of his prophecy of President Buhari’s victory last year which earned him and the ministry the highest media attack ever not yet enough lesson to Nigerians that Fr Mbaka is indeed a prophet of God and a gift to this nation?

“Last year when Fr Mbaka prophesied the defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan, many Christian including notable clergymen branded him a false prophet and clamoured for his sanction. Now that the prophecy came true with Buhari’s victory, why shouldn’t the acclaimed sanctions be meted to those clergies whom the manifestation of Fr Mbaka’s prophecy has proved to be the real false prophets?

“No one seems to think about this. It is unfortunate that some men of God and so-called Christians either for lack of prayer points or out of chronic envy and jealously now make ‘Fr Mbaka’ the topic for exhortation in their gatherings. This also explains why the recent speculations on his transfer has taken the place of sermon in some churches and even made national news headline even when there is no official communication of such.

“We love our president and his life means much to us, especially at this point of the nations’ history when he is fighting the most dread wars in the world, the hydra-headed war against corruption and insurgency.

“Besides Fr Mbaka’s prophecy of the plans of the enemies against him, no good thinking citizen of this country would believe that the victims of Mr President’s war against corruption would be smiling at him. That is why we should not relent in praying for Mr President and will never spare any one or group of persons that may want to distract Fr Mbaka and his commitment to the spiritual welfare of this nation.”

Good afternoon nairalanders.
I swear since buhari became the president of Nigeria, bad market is everywhere. Gosh!! if it was during Jonathan regime, we use to sell, my neighbours use to sell but immediately buhari won, everybody is complaining of bad market.
I am forced to say Buhari is a bad luck.
During jona regime, there were looting by politicians but after the looting, even the poor people and the average man gets his own share of d loot.
Now buhari is fighting corruption, no money in town, fg has seized the money.
Actually I prefare the politicians to be looting the money as long as it will reach the average Nigerian man.
Haba since morning I never sell any important thing for shop, which kind bad luck be this
I know buhari supporters will cast me but I don't care.
pls click like if u love and miss Goodluck ebele Jonathan.

lovings:
This is what happens when uninformed people supported angry politicians whose only aim were to grab power and not to fix things. Politicians who know nothing about creating wealth and fixing the economy. When oil price is gowning down, Mr buhari wants to spend billions on a useless oil search and exploration in the north when he could have channeled that money towards development of solid mineral industry, mechanized agriculture and manufacturing which are more sustainable and would keep Nigeria economy afloat.

If he spends less time on propaganda and more time on fixing the economy, then things will get better

I think the federal government should adopt true federalism. States should have control of their resources and pay tax/royalties to the federal government. Any state that can't survive should close shop and look for "development partners". The security agencies, for now, should be managed by the federal government.

[color=#DC143C][b]Well funny enough I no longer take you serious because I'm convinced to the highest degree of certainty that you've never been to Rivers state talk less of being a native. Your motive is obvious, you just want to have fun arguing on NL. On a normal circumstance, I won't argue with your type, just that I get mentions from users to call your bluff which I gladly do. If you know me well, you'll know that I make my arguments intelligently. I've seen a good number of Ikwerre men who would argue that they aren't Igbo, most prominent of them was China Acheru (before his fame), who claimed that he doesn't even understand a single word in Igbo. An Orlu man who was there with us when we were arguing insulted China in his dialect, and to our surprise China took offence. We laughed and reminded him of his 'I don't understand Igbo' stance, and he tried to save face by saying that he understood the language by the mood of the Orlu man. On Nairaland I've argued intelligently with the likes of Norababie, blackest and so many and they gave up when I presented facts. Waliezi is another true Ikwerre man I know online and offline and though he isn't disposed to this kind of argument, he will surely and perfectly sense your false ostentation from a distance.

Well you are indirectly saying I'm not qualify for this kind of argument, then I'm sure you know better in politics than former Rivers governor, Amaechi, who made a campaign speech at Owerri, telling people that he is Igbo and challenging Jonathan to speak Igbo like he does. I'm very sure that you're the progenitor of the Ogoni people who gave Ndoki people land. You said Oyigbo belongs to Eleme people, but you were so dull that you couldn't figure out through your google map, which you've been using to allocate lands, that Eleme and Oyigbo towns to not border each other, Iriebe an Evo town comes in between them, you should have done better by telling us that Iriebe and Elelenwo also belongs to Ogoni people and then we can know start arguing. Oh, I forgot that I don't belong to the political class. Maybe in politics, ethnicities skip 10km from their ancestral home, skip towns to go and own land somewhere else. Oh lest I forget, what happened to 'Etcheland belongs to the Ikwerres, and Etche people speak a form of Ikwerre'. I was almost falling for it, why did you stop insisting on it?

Try again boy.[/b][/color]

[size=13pt]This is how Napoleon Hill describes Cosmic Habit Force, a term he invented in his life time:

“Nature’s method of giving fixation to all habits so that they may carry on automatically once they have been set into motion.”

We do not know when it was set in motion, but apparently, after the wheels of lying where set in motion in the habit pattern of the Igbos, they have not been able to stop.

Having been labelled "land grabbers" and embarrassed by massive rejection and negative feedback after their attempt to lie their way into Rivers State (the same way they tried with Lagos by saying it is no man's land) some of them retraced their steps here on nairaland. However, in the habit of lying, others have imagined that a cool trick would be to turn the land grabbing accusations back on the Rivers People.

We do not know what has inspired this new move on their part but I hereby ask any of those proponents of the Idea to mention just one piece of non-Ijaw land that Ijaws have attempted to grab.

You will observer that some of these Igbos will start mentioning Ikweres and Etches and other ethnic groups which Ijaws want to take away from Igbos when of course and naturally, we honestly cannot tell the Ikwere man who is. That is NOT one of our weaknesses - trying to declare to others who they are. While we definitely relate to Ikweres as Ikweres, it is the Ikweres themselves that VEHEMENTLY reject the concept/idea of an Igbo identity.

How can we go in to them and carry out the misbehaviour Igbos are trying to carry out in Rivers State? How can we go and declare them Igbos or anything else we wish? That is pure lunacy. We respect them and their choice of identity (Ikwere).

If Igbos feel that really, these people are Igbo, why can't the Igbos reach out to them on diplomatically and show them their long existing blood relationships and bring them into the fold?

What, for crying out loud, does that have to do with the Ijaws?

I make bold to say this has no more to do with us Ijaws than it has to do with Fulanis, or Nupes, or Yorubas, or any other people in the world that it does not concern.

I also make bold to say that the number of Igbo lands currently being claimed by Ijaws is zero.

So please, name one piece of Igbo land Ijaws are trying to grab or respectfully forever hold your peace.

ayokellany:
If you dig dip enough you'd discover the writer of this article is an Igbo. Why some Nigerians would rather make nonsense of the dire situation Nigeria find itself with the crude situation is beyond me.

Why such writers are naturally orientated to write promoting hatred is not understandable either. What does this writer stand to gain in promoting enmity between Nigeria, the USA and other crude buyers is beyond me.

Why are they programmed to promote conflict and irritating actions ? Why can't they write promoting friendship or proffering solutions ? Why must it all be about fight ? May God save this country from enemy within.

LadyExcellency:
The worst is that we don't have capable hands in this government that know the acts and tricks involved in playing this game. They are just spectators, that's why Adeosun was looking at Christine Laggard as one being from outer space during her visit to Nigeria few days ago.

Sweetguy25:
He is saying nothing but the truth. Nigerians always like to shy away from the truth. Last year revealed so much about the true state of Nigeria as regards inter ethnic and get political relations.
We should not forget that it was just last year, a sitting traditional Monarch threatened people of a majority tribe against voting contrary to his wishes.

Youths of a majority tribe threatened to burn down a major media establishment because they felt the establishment promoted hate campaigns against their tribal presidential candidate

Just last year, a majority tribe was bitterly castigated for for their voting pattern in the elections. Only them were targeted.

Last year, there were widespread protests in a section of the country bitterly agitating for secession.

Nigeria has never been so divided since the civil war.

FisifunKododada:
OP you have raised a valid point however none of the posters have given you the MAIN reason.

MAIN reason: Geography and demographics. The Igbos are the 3rd largest (by population) tribe in Nigeria YET the entire 5 Igbo states is just roughly the size (geographically) of OYO state in SW Nigeria. Do you even realize that states like Plateau, Niger and Bauchi (for example) are like TWICE the ENTIRE SE region? Please, don't take my words for it. Get a map of Nigeria and take a look for yourself. The Igbos are many but they don't have land to accommodate their teeming masses. Consequently, the laws of diffusion takes over and the migration is from the SE to other regions and not the other way around. Now, some people will say but Lagos has the highest population density in Nigeria so why are Yorubas not migrating from Lagos in mass the way Igbos are from SE. The answer is simple. Lagos is a Yoruba land with lots of opportunities that the SE does not possess. And the trend is gonna continue. Every year hundreds of thousands of Igbos are gonna leave their overpopulated region to look for greener pastures in other parts of Nigeria, mainly SW.

So the question is why is it that the Igbos have such a small geographical region relative to their population? Well the answer is that their ancestors were very lazy and were not organized. While the ancestors of the Yorubas and Fulanis were conquering and expanding empires the Igbo ancestors were just scratching their balls, eating akpu in their little mud houses.

Nigeria is the GREATEST thing to ever happen to Igbos. That is why when the IPOB touts shout Biafra, the smart/successful Igbos looke at them and hiss. The day Igbos are all forced back to their 5-state region is the day their race will begin to become extinct. Overpopulation coupled with very little opportunities will lead inexorably to their doom.

Also, have you ever wondered why Igbos ALWAYS include OTHER tribes in their Biafra? Because Igbos are not as dumb as they look. Even they know that their new country will NEVER work without including the land of other tribes.

There are other factors (like most Nigerians would prefer a non-Igbo neighbor to an Igbo one etc.) but geography/demographics are the MAIN factors.

Sincerely,
Capt. Fisifun.

Interesting. Maybe it's time we start getting closer to Russia because the USA is not a trustworthy ally. They are like the devil that gives with the right hand and takes with the left.

Uyi168:
imagine a world without islam!

Slikbae:
that is obviously because the U.S government has always regulated the amount of Muslims entering into their country.

Take Germany for instance, do you know the amount of unspeakable crimes the new refugees have already committed since they got in??

They sometimes block roads and restrict movements in Russia simply because its prayer time at the mosque. Most rape cases in Sweden are done by Muslims. In the U.K, they're already protesting and agitating for sharia...

Do you know that foreigners could face the death sentence in Islamic countries just by protesting??

There's no place for Muslims in the 21st century, they belong in the primitive , medieval, stone age.

Do you also know Muslims celebrated the 9/11 bombing that took place in America??
