Ymodulus:
Ethnic sentiments made the igbos take the step they did.


The closest Igbo man to the incoming Government is Dr Chris Ngige Onwa.

Lets break down things to see how bad Igbos are at strategizing? They couldn’t override their pathological hatred for General Buhari to make a hedge bet and return this man to the Senate, to enhance his chances at Senate President, incase General Buhari wins, which he did.

Instead folks played tribal and religious politics to the tilt as drunken sailors, and failed the man and the chance to make history as Senate President. That’s what happens when emotions trips common sense and folks succumb to hustlers like Peter Obi and Arthur Eze, hustlers after their own interests instead of the masses they pretend to serve.

I urged caution, I pleaded that we were making a huge mistake to hitch our wagon on Jonathan who wasn’t going to
win. And predictably he lost, so also our chance in the new administration.

Lets not gloat.

But maybe, maybe, only maybe he gets a good ministerial appointment, but nothing beats being Senate President.

Igbos are very bad at politics.

Fifty years after independence, they are yet to produce a president when others have taken multiple turns. Their answer is ? Blame others! If you only Hausas didn’t do this or Yorubas didn’t do that, perhaps the god of politics will bless our lot.

And sadly it won’t stop until they learn to coexist with others instead of our ‘better than thou’ attitude when dealing with the Hausas and Yorubas. They are not better than anyone.

Igbos don’t like the Hausas and same igbos don’t like the Yorubas, yet they populate their States in search for livelihood.

They should let their politics mirror their economic aspirations, not the other way around. There is no wisdom in living in the North, earning a living, yet despise the Northerners. That’s being ungrateful.

How long can this collective amnesia insulate the igbos from meaningfully seating at the table, making contributions to Nigeria’s political evolution?

How long can this foolishness go on? How long?

There is a miserable silence across the land today, because they are realizing that they were sold off for pennies by pimps who parade as Igbo leaders.

Where are they? Anyone home? The ohameze group is a disgrace and must be wiped off for the igbos to move ahead
foolishness you call it? When we played the "wise" politics of voting for obasanjo,where did it lead us?? When we voted for shagari,where did it lead us? FYI having a political position only fills the pocket of the occupant and not the region.......hope you haven't forgotten that this is Nigerian politics and no matter how you decide to lick ar..se,the interest of the North would never be negotiated for nobody......e.g the SS during the confab wanted their % to be increased and we know how the North fought against it......what are the demand of the igbos if I may ask you? YoÙ continually insult our intelligence claiming you have our best interest @ heart but we all know they are all lies.....yes the igbos believe that they are better......its just a natural trait....its either you accept it or not......we never wanted to be in this forced union but innocent lives where shed because of oil in the Niger delta......you accuse of leaving our land to inconvenience you? Sorry, we travel a lot......igbos are everywhere,angola,ghana..togo,senegal,SA,benin.....e.t.c. When the SW and North through policies frustrated whatever effort the igbos had @ fresh air and development in their region u expect them not to look for alternatives?? I staÑd to be corrected.....tell me what development has the FG after the war bring to the SE?? Even with all the hope and aspiration of obasanjo in 1999,what project was done in the east? During the PTF what can you say buhari did for the SE?? The North has the best road network all because they think we are less than humans...."Infidels".....and they deserve more than us because we are a conquered people......my guy...if you are not igbo,u don't have a right to speak for us until u talk a walk in the shoes of the igbos.......and if you are an igbo person,Ýou need serious re-orientation......

Buhari wil address the nation, Reaffirming his promise that boko haram wil end within three months in his administration. He will move from barrack to barrack , gingering the soldier moral, he will also promise the soldiers that he wil go to the battle field.
Then soldiers wil match out for total outslaught on Bokoharam, the campaign will be lead by GMB. within few weeks Bokoharam will surrender. and they will be granted amnesty.



I pray God expose this power hungry mofo.
amnesty for who and for what? Abeg oh!!!

Politics › Buhari: This Is Not The People’s Victory, By Adekoya Boladale - by meccuno(op): 11:44am On Apr 03, 2015
Few years ago, one of my student stood up in the middle of a lecture and asked, ‘Sir, who owns Nigeria?’ I was teaching a topic on colonialism and it could have been easy for me to answer, the British, but that would have been appropriate if only we were still under colonial rule. Its been decades since we exchanged the union jack for the green and white flag to enjoy self-government.

The question though simple to a layman, is pregnant with meanings. First, this student having assessed the society he lives in, have come to question the principle of democracy, the mode of governance and the political power play in the process of winning election. He has come to doubt the overblown theory of self governance, independence and strength of an elected political office holder. He sees an illusion in democracy and as a world of make believe, where twisted public perception either true or falsereign supreme. He sees the people as a pawn, played and tossed by some power brokers towards a selfish end.

Few days ago, Nigeria went to the poll in an election that saw the incumbent President, Goodluck Jonathan losing the race for a return ticket to the opposition candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari and in an unprecedented reaction that shocked the world, Mr. Jonathan conceded defeat saving Nigeria, West Africa and by extension the entire continent from going into flames.
Celebrating Buhari's victory

Celebrating Buhari’s victory

With the emergence of General Buhari, the word on the street of Nigeria now is victory. The people seems to have found hope, placing upscale level of trust on the war veteran to make life better as soon as possible.

Indeed, the masses have cause to rejoice. The government of President Jonathan haven’t had a direct bearing on the people onthe street. He has shown lackadaisical attitude to the safety of the people, especially those in the North East and only woke up from slumber at a rather time too late. His leadership ability also shows one who isn’t total in control of government, he shows traits ofindecisiveness, more than needed patience, making the electorates get bored of his government.

But while the people continue to rejoice over what they termed ‘Our votes, counts’ it is imperative to state without holding back that the defeat of Goodluck Jonathan isn’t the victory of the electorates. Yes, the people voted for a man of their choice but the question of who/what made that man their choice remains unanswered.

The need to have Mr. Jonathan out of Aso Rock became heightened on 31st August 2013 when seven Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party and the former Vice President walked out of the party’s convention, hence forming the ‘New PDP’. It should be noted that even though the opposition parties had already merged to form the All Progressive Congress (APC) the effect of an opposition party wasn’t so impactful until the NewPDP joined it. For those who understand a bit about Nigeria’s presidential power play, some of the key factors that determine the making or marring of any occupant of that position is his relationship with the ‘Five Pillars’ of Nigeria namely General Theophilus Danjuma, Ibrahim Babangida, Emir of Kano, Olusegun Obasanjo and the Oil Mafias. Unfortunately for President Jonathan, all these individuals stood against him.

Some may argue that the records of General Buhari and his undoubted anti-corruption stand gave him the edge against the President but these individuals must ask themselves if these records were not in public domain when he contested and lost the election three times?

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for sixteen years has had the opportunity to govern the country not because it is well structured or so accepted but because the real owners of the country still controls the party. The moment these individuals lost their proxy grip, the party became a shadow of itself.

Democracy is about public perception, it is the ability to sell yourself to the electorates and make them believe in your plans but that’s where it starts and ends. The ability of the people to understand, accept and believe in this messages resides exclusively with some set of individuals.

The March 28, 2015 presidential election wasn’t won in polling booths and through ballot papers but at a round table meeting where the best of wine and foods were served.

General Muhammadu Buhari may seem to represent the desire of the electorates but that can only be proven with decisions he makes within the first few months of his administration.

This is a victory for democracy, it is a good step for politics but it isn’t a victory for the people per say but rather a change of garment for the ‘Five Pillars’.

Politics › Buhari Didn’t Promise To End Insurgency In Two Months – APC by meccuno(op): 11:35am On Apr 03, 2015
Abuja – The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as misleading and unfounded reports that the President-elect, Maj.-Gen. Mu has pledged to end insurgency in the country within two months.


“The President-Elect is still waiting to be sworn in on May 29. After the ceremony, he would need time to study the security situation and plan strategically with the security chiefs as to the way forward.

“Time is of essence here. Therefore, President Buhari didn’t and wouldn’t peg the decimation of terrorism within two months.

“The General was unequivocal about cleansing Boko Haram from our land; he would do a good job of it by giving a final permanent push to rid Nigeria of unscrupulous elements,’’ the statement said.

The statement recalled that in Buhari’s interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Cable News Network (CNN), he didn’t put a time-frame to when he would eliminate terrorism.

“It would be unfair and mischievous for someone to ascribe to him what he hasn’t said,” the statement emphasised. (NAN) http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/buhari-didnt-promise-to-end-insurgency-in-two-months-apc/

You're right. And even if the 100% of Nigerian oil is found onshore, it will still remain Nigerian oil found on Nigerian soil. What the government needs to do is to make sure that the people of the region are adequately taken care of and that is what allocating a greater percentage of crude oil sale proceeds to them is meant to achieve.
so if Nigeria divided and we haveh nOrth south east and west,thÉ north would have onshore?? I doubt that.....

Most importantly, you should strive to reunite nigerians along ethnic and religious lines. Jonathan, over a period of four years, has incinerated every single tie that bind us along those lines. Those who still embrace and accommodate themselves despite these differences, and in spite of Jonathan's divisive tendencies, are largely in the minority today.

It would be great to see us set aside these mundane prejudices and work towards a common course and goal; peace, and prosperity.
