The hole Aba finds itself today always draw rivers of tears from me, anytime the subject comes up.
How could a City so blessed degenerate into this unfortunate debacle?
How could this happen to a City that ought to be in same rank like Honk kong?
What went wrong, what?

Did Dino Melaye get re-elected into the house? I recollect he decamped to ANPP for the election proper.

Personally, i think the Igbos have clearly shown deep belief in the Project called Nigeria.
From research and observation, it is only an Igbo man that can go wholeheartedly to
Maiduguri, Kano, Sokoto, Ibadan, Oshogbo Bayelsa, Portharcourt and invest massively
without looking back.

Personal opinion, though.

Seriously, i think u guys have missed the vehicle to democratic stabilization in Imo State.
This gibberish does not hold water atall.
My point, people should be allowed to vote without hindrance for whoseover they wish to
vote for, period. If it is Ohakim or Rochas or even Ararume, i mean why this unnecessary
sentiment build up?

Marriage demands so much, even name changing on the woman part. It's either she bears her maiden name alongside
her husband name or she bears the husband's name. I don't understand it when women begin to throw up issues that could bring
discomfort to both parties, what is the essence of the marriage then?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Uduaghan has failed woefully in Delta State.
Uduaghan is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF, your brother has already tasted the forbidden fruit, so what is all the fuss about.
Abeg, shift with your miserable story.



NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad, really sad. Her answer before my question.
The way the cookie crumbles,

kosovo:
Don't you think you are taking this issue too personal? or m i the only having that balanced thought? C'mon

Did you say personal? Bro, it's much more than that.
Mention IBB then it's personal. You better drop the topic now.

kosovo:
Pls knock it off already. . . or have a Nap . . . These are the things that makes Nigeria as a country pathetic and miserable . . . Have we meant before that you can decipher my age and come to  conclusion of jactitation? . . .
Thats not how to make a valid argument in any political front . . .

Believe me, you are the one that needs a nap into oblivion for all we care.
Your age in this discourse is very paramount, because you are already exhibiting
serious signs of jejune, puerile tendencies.

While taking the nap, don't forget to call on your pathetic and miserable warlord to join you.

kosovo:
keep waiting

I knew you would certainly chicken out like the evil brainbox you are professing loyalty to.

Babangida (sapped) or totally wiped the middle class out of existence with the destruction of the naira,
which he did by fiat in 1985, when he down graded the naira exchange rate from about N2 to N18 to the dollar.
By the time he was forced out of office in 1993, the naira was exchanging at N60 to the dollar.
Society was now reduced to two social classes of either the very poor or the rich rogues.

I'm waiting, i need to wait and make sure i SAP you out like your notorious godfather sapped Nigeria.

@Kosovo
I'm still waiting, your age please?

kosovo:
No comment . . .

Exactly, no comment is expected of you. Now log off.

If IBB is your idea of concept of choice then we are all in trouble. Again, i have problems with this useless choice of your.
In a country of over 140 million people, what makes Babangida think he alone deserves to rule for perhaps seventeen or more years?
What is he bringing to the table now if he never had it in the first place?
Don’t we deserve better than our past illiterate leaders who could not differentiate between the national and their private purses?
Of all the Nigerian military dictators, Babangida was the most desperate for power, and for attempting to hold on to it for life, apart from being the most flamboyant, cunning, callous, ruthless and deadly, about how they went about achieving their goals.
Babangida grew on Nigeria slowly and quietly, with a deceptive toothy smile.

Kosovo, really, how old are? It's important i know your age to enable me determine your relevance in a discourse like this.

kosovo:
^^^

That's the joy of election, everyone has something to say, and every candidate has supporters no matter how Bad or how Good. . .
an inner eye may be needed to see what IBB would bring to the table . . .

You should by now bury your ''inner eye'' in shame, Mr. Lone voice in the wilderness.

kosovo:
O.M.G , Comedian of the year

Yes, you are the winner, COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR. You deserve it.
Your diatribe on IBB really gave u away as a comedian, rubbish.

kosovo:
^^^
i am not moved!

Of course, you can't be moved. Please remain there, we've all left you and IBB behind.
Infact, you missed the bus to reality, remember? Now you are totally immobile.

If all IBB could deliver, as a young man was to loot our treasury dry, what is he bringing to the table now?
He does not even have the basic education or the intelligence. To be an expert at maneuvering a people and their treasury does not demonstrate intelligence as much as lack of moral fiber and self-discipline.

Babangida is an empty barrel midget, robed in threatening vulgar giant frippery of evil exploits.
He lacks respect for democracy and worth of human life. He killed Dele Giwa. He closed down Ogun state radio; Concord, Guardian, Punch and Sketch newspapers; Newswatch and News magazines, during his time.

He treated with contempt the Justice Chukwudifu Oputa led Human Rights Violation Investigation Commission (HRVIC), when summoned to answer charges on the murder of Dele Giwa. He also rushed to the court to prevent the implementation of the report of the Commission as it affected him.
Perhaps he wants to come back to rule so that he can retire with the biggest loot in history?

But according to the book: The Sink, and International anti-corruption agencies reports, he has achieved that status already so why does he not want to leave us alone?

[size=8pt]All IBB supporters, protagonists, admirers, Kosovos are all dead on arrival.
SAY NO TO IBB, NO TO EVIL GENIUS/BRAINBOX, SAY NO IBB[/size

@Kosovo
Your ignorance of the cunning of the person of IBB is finally coming to fore, and perhaps going Olympics.

A man that stole us blind is now threatening to use a fraction of his loot to return to power and a figure of N400 billion has been mentioned by his cronies as his campaign chest. We ought to be worrying now about how to survive this viper’s poisoned food. We are desperately hungry but if we eat, we die immediately. If we don’t, we die slowly from hunger anyway, terrorized by the viper’s fang. We are trapped. We can’t get up to look elsewhere for food or do anything else. The evil genius has hijacked our destiny.

Fortunately, there are still principled, conscientious and patriotic Nigerians, determined that if they must die, it must not be without a fight. Babangida would not return to rule over one Nigeria. If he does, lovers of Nigeria would, at least, make Nigeria ungovernable for him, failing which, they would emigrate. I would definitely renounce my citizenship of Nigeria if nothing else.

The Yoruba have a proverb about: ‘a person about to be roasted, who rubs his body with fat and goes to stand by a raging fire.’ This must have influenced the following remarks on IBB by our popular human rights lawyer/activist, Mr. Femi Falana: “I am not quite sure that Nigerians can stop him from exposing himself to ridicule. He has been lucky that he is not in jail now. His coming out to contest will provide an opportunity for Nigerians to deal with him squarely and confront him with the annulment of June 12 election, the murder of Dele Giwa, the Ejigbo tragic plane crash, the destruction of our values as a people, corruption, and massive violation of human rights.”

M. D. Yusufu, a former Inspector General of police said in Karl Maiers book, This House has fallen, that: “Babangida went all out to corrupt society. Abacha was intimidating people with fear. With him gone now you can recover. But this corruption remains and it is very corrosive to society.”
Professor Akin Oyebode of the University of Lagos law department describes IBB’s attempt to return to power “as a colossal assault on the national psyche. At the end of the debate on the IMF conditionalities, he clamped on SAP, which was more draconian than the IMF conditionalities. Because he has a 50-bedroom house at Minna, he thinks the world is his oyster. He latches on the popular yearnings to launder his image. He has dirty rotten underwear that he wants to clean so that people will give him a new improved IBB. IBB is a bad statement to the whole world that at the end of the day we again brought Babangida to the scene. I don’t want my children to live under Babangida. I won’t live under Babangida.”

Apart from Obasanjo, Babangida is the greatest evil ever to befall any country in the world)-All that Babangida, (nicknamed IBB), has to show for his over eight years in power in Nigeria, is private colossal wealth, and the edification of corruption in our body politics. Yes, he is richer than many African governments and can buy who ever he wants, but he ruined our lives to reach there. The book, The Sink, by Jeffrey Robinson, an American writer, says it all about Babangida. “Of the $120 billion siphoned out of the Nigerian treasury into offshore accounts by dishonest politicians, $20 billion is allegedly traceable to IBB directly as president from 1985 to 1993.” The World Bank and other international sources of information put his total loot from the Nigerian treasury at over $35 billion.

kobikwelu:
its amazing that people think by removing the inec chairman would solve the nigerian election albatross??


i have said it before and would still say it again!!!!!! the problem is not the chair, IT IS THE POLITICIANS!!!!!!!!

IF YOU LIKE, PUT THE POPE (no pun intended to the catholics )it would not solve nigerian election problem,

how do u solve election violence with the inec chair how would u stop ballot box snatchings, stuffing, multiplication of votes


do people actually know that there are full fledged commisioners on the inec board and he is just a chairman


do people know that there are state electoral commisions

do people still know that of all the electoral reforms being canvassed, that the president woould still reserve the right to appoint who he wants.


if he puts soyinka there, soyinka must still answer to his boss.


am tired of all these escapist solutions, instead of solving the root of the problem, you are cutting off the shoot


***********HISSES AND MOVES ON TO NEXT POST************

The head of any electoral body has a significant role to play in the polity of any nation. If the man is corrupt then, no atom of mercy on the electorates.
Humphrey Nwosu held his ground against IBB, can you say same for Iwu? If he were to be in that position at that time?

Kosovo, pls quickly add this last one, did you foprget?

11.I step aside, _{after due consultation, i hereby give up on Nigeria. Shonekan will rule for some few months and then handover to my thieving brother Abacha.}

Kosovo, find work do, abeg. How can you wish this evil on your fellow countrymen? Chei

This Iwu must go issue, to me is already overflogged.
Is he still around?

You again?
You no dey tire? Pls shift.

Telling your partner ''peacefully'' of your intention of dumping him/her is not as easy as you think, believe me.
