Look at his head, after owing 11 months salary to Imo workers because he used their money to travel to Maiduguri, Kano, Sokoto, Lagos, London, all to campaign for a retired coupist, and at the end of the day, his people are no where.

Senate President? Is that position important when you have thieves in the Senate from every zone? What did PDP southeast do with senate president during OBJ- produced 7 senate presidents in 8 years.

Instead Okorocha should have strengthened the party he ran on and his people supported and today APGA and the SE could have been relevant like the then regional party of APC is today.

Politics 101

At the OP:

This article is one of the most childish pieces of bs I've read in a while. Seriously?

The British with a small land mass and population put and controlled an area with a population triple theirs and yet no one seeing that. There are so many other examples of how smaller and more homogenous nations that answer their papa name (not slave masters name) are doing well.

Biafra will always be a greater idea than Nigeria because it is an idea of the Black family and not the idea of White supremacy in Africa

Must The FG do everything?

Is this beauty? Maybe the OP needs to got o Eastern Development thread where Berlin and great cities are being eyed for Owerri to be transformed.

People need to stop thinking like local boys

You see how these military thugs have hijacked the country and rotating power among themselves?

This country is a zoo

Igbo groups popping up very day and the two or three members giving themselves national coordinator, national leader, national president, and talking nonsense.

SO is it a whole nation that should go to someone with humility or a "President" that goes to a nation with humility?

It would have been good to hear this national coordinator pressing on a recount of votes in the East that witnessed a poor state like Abia go 100% PDP without any tangible thing left 4-8-12-16 years and counting.

This is what happens when people follow an illiterate and child molester.

See, those calling Nigeria a ZOO are in fact CORRECT. $61 to $150 billion stashed abroad, money that is helping developed countries develop more and provide better roads and scholarships and healthcare for their people.

Yet our leaders not only stash that money abroad that enriches DEVELOPED countries, they will turn around and buy expensive cars and private jets from those DEVELOPED countries, homes in those DEVELOPED countries, fly on airlines based in DEVELOPED countries, spend thousands on hotels and car rentals in DEVELOPED countries, buy clothes and tailored suits from DEVELOPED countries, go to hajj or Xmas (or for some Yoruba both) shopping in DEVELOPED countries, vacationing in DEVELOPED countries, giving birth to pikin in DEVELOPED countries for pale purposes, go to hospital for treatment and pay full out of pocket price in DEVELOPED countries and on and on.

So in short, we are stealing from our nation to give the money back to those who came and said we were area N.iggas aka NIGERIANS

Local people

If they want to probe, begin with the British, then Gowon, OBJ, IBB, and on and on. Nonsense

That flag is fine!!! A real BLACK nation's flag that doesn't mean Ni.gga Area serving England

If he wanted to rebuild Nigeria, he should have bowed out for a younger and more able leader, and told all former coupist to stay clear from meddling in national politics. If he wants to rebuild Nigeria he should be advocating for a dissolution of these useless 36 states , two houses in assembly, and reduction in wages for elected officials.

Thats a start.

Abia state and clueless PDP leaders

Coupist and criminals

Nonsense, Abacha a "hero", or Sarduana

Even in joke na lie

Soskid:
He is a coward. I only blame those following him around

How is he a coward. You sabi his name, his pic, and yet you are on here with coded name.

Those tying bedsheets, bombing and stealing 300+ girls are the cowards

"Let the Igbo go". LOL. This is what they say now, but when the time comes they will remember they need the East to rent out their rooms to Easterners and the oil from the East

For a country of nearly 200 million to in this day and age bring back a coupist from the 1980s as president says that the country is nothing but a zoo. You sai buhari fools went to deceive yourselves and others with all the paparazzi and grammer, but truly, it was all sentiment for the most part.

A muslim, a northerner, a no-easterner, a army general, etc.

I don't blame GMB, he is doing what he is suppose to do because he is who he is. But una wey wear diaper for that time 1984, shine your eye

kernel501:
Yorubas are developing high blood pressure because of Igbos. Imagine on political thread of Nairaland, how Igbos are making headlines.

Every hour an "Igbo This" thread is started, and sometimes it is the same headline that someone posted just last year.

With all the allocation Yoruba politicians and pastors have received, what did they do with the money? Ibadan still looks like it's from a page in 1965. No?

What about Ijebu Ode, Abeokuta, Illorin, Ado Ekiti? So the only people left behind are those that don't have Head of State or Honorable in front of their name. See the legislooters, already on break after cashing in on millions in salary.

Buhari appearing before Oputa panel then is like him appearing at Presidential debate in 2015-Not happening/did not happen.

But guess what, he can do it because sycophants will be saying sai buhari without using their brain god gave them.

That's because we all know who the Fulani people and their mainstream Hausa-Fulani subjects are. They don't pretend and abuse ad destroy any southerner in their quest to "rule".

Yet those from southwest who don't even like themselves are the pretenders, loud, local, and in fact deceptive. Every group in 9ja can handle the truth except them.

Is this an achievement? Rochas looking more and more like Boko Haram member

I smoke no weed and speak not nonsense, my fellow compatriot. We have a corrupt legislation and politicians undisputed . But certain factors can't be ignored. We have the potentials of having the largest armed forces in Africa. If we spend just 4% of our GDP for the next 6 years , we'll have the most potent force on the continent.
The french government has actually said BH has provided a platform for Nigeria to lead Africa. We have the largest economy in Africa already with the most direct soft power in music, religion and social culture in Africa.
If you're not seeing the silver lining , I am.
The BBC has already started an online poll across Africa on Nigeria's leadership. See beyond your fears and doubts.

There is no doubt that we have potential, and you are correct in your assertions.

However, some people want us to lead Africa, others want us to turn our cities into Dubai and paris, but our very foundation needs to be addressed. That's my own

spanishkid:
There's something VERY WRONG with the IGBO tribe...the past election and there after greatly revealed the MIND of the average Igbo Man and Woman: VERY UNREASONABLE, HATES TRUTH, TRIBALISTIC, DELUDED AND VIOLENT
The reason why a number of people these days say they are the ''The Most Hateful And Tribalistic Group In Nigeria'' is not only because it's TRUE but because people (other tribes) are MORE AWARE of their character more than ever before.
The Igbo man is NOT for PEACE, REASON,UNITY; what they want is CONTROL, MANIPULATION TO ACHIEVE THEIR AIMS AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER TRIBES WHO THEY UNREASONABLY PERCEIVE AS THEIR ENEMIES
BUT THERE ARE A VERY FEW AMONG THEM WHO ARE TRULY GOOD AND REASONABLE PEOPLE ...YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH...
But you see...no matter the EVIL they may wish NIGERIA; saying the ''Zoo must Fall'' , GOD's good intentions for Nigeria and it's people will come to pass. AMEN!

So you woke up this good Sunday and Igbo people are all on your mind and thoughts. That's too bad mate.

The truth is that most Igbo people are now southern minorities are calling out Yoruba people for what they truly are, and some cant handle this "TRUTH".

Is Nigeria a zoo? Of course.

This is not to say there is no hope for unity or progress, but the zoo is the zoo, and currently being ruled by a coupist from the 1980s.

That's shameful

Look at this guy. He went to marry his daughter and used state funds to fly her and her family all over the place. All these APC guys have forgotten what it meant to govern and are all acting as if they have jazz on them.

Buhari does not have to lo love Igbo truly. One northerner a month back said Buhari owes Yoruba nothing. Buhari a month before that bombed calabar areas and said he is ending amnesty for ND. Thus, we see lopsided appointments for Northern muslims, including for the Office of 1 st "Aisha".

But have we asked another question or gotten an answer from it. Did Gbenga Daniel love Ogun people? Did Ibori love Delta People? Did Alams.. love Bayesla people? Clearly Oshiomole and possibly Okorocha love Angola people.

What of the worse of them all- Theo Orji? Did or does he love Abia people. What has he done as senator for 2 months besides hiding in Abuja?

lezz:
That's why I think the BH insurgency is an indirect wakeup call. Nigeria is destined to rule Africa.

On what drug are you smoking? Can we even be destined to have legislatures that don't collect millions of naira after 2 months of fighting?

Nonsense

This whole do or die affair needs to stop. PDP already stole the election in Abia state for a record 4th time, stealing from M I Okpara's son to Otti, as well as all legislative positions. After burning INEC office, they are now stopping the pay for civil servants that wanted to exercise their God-given right to vote out crooks.

I believe we need to first merge the states reducing the amount of governors and reps because for 4 years most of these folks do absolutely nothing, and some can't do anything because there's nothing viable for them to do.

2nd, either by referendum, the courts, or executive pressure, salaries need to be reduced because being the highest paid legislators in the world does not even encourage good leadership, but rather poor leadership, hence the emergence of another Saraki and a crook as deputy.

Third, get rid of one house all together. No need to duplicate the US system because our system has not even evolved to that

IbnSultaan:
it started with IBB
late Government failed to developed the defence section believing Nigeria doesn't need to but today we know continuous upgrade of defence capabilities is essential

Yes you are correct in a way. But truly:

The truth is it started in 1914, when outsiders came to this part of the world and created for themselves and their children a lucrative "store" to enrich themselves, sustained in 1960, 1966, 1970, 1983, 1998, 1999, and now 2015 with the emergence of a Major General of the same imperialist army.

Henry120:
Let's be honest with. Ourselves and put aside partisanship, our military is still not properly equipped. For a country of our size, we have a poorly equipped military.
This is the truth.
The Dictators who ruled Nigeria after Shagari was ousted are primarily to blame. GEJ did as much as he could but the rot in truth was/ still is too deep.
Hopefully this new government can continue and hopefully surpass the gains made by the GEJ administration.

So the problem began with Buhari and the dictators. I hope that from now on our people will stop using inferior thinking and vote in able bodied non-military men as president from now on
