so let me get this right im supposed to give a damn because your son's friend Chuka Umunna won a labour party seat for Streatham - big deal - what difference will that make in the scheme of things for blacks in this country, David Lammy, Diane Abbot Paul Boateng what difference did they make for their black constituencies - ill tell you, nothing, slave mentality and inferiority complex is what will bring about the demise of the black race - i have said it.

David Lammy - useless, gutless, never tackles the real issues facing blacks in the UK and never challenges the racist policies of this country content to just bask in the glory of being a black MP

Diane Abbott - hypocritical and useless, rode on the backs of black voters to secure her safe seat of Hackney and has done nothing for the blacks who live in one of the most deprived boroughs in london which she claims to represent

Paul Boateng - opportunist, hypocrite, more interested in being a career politician than challenging racist policies of the british labour party.

So if you think Chuka Umunna is going to become this radical black politician who will challenge the status quo you better put down that spliff you ve been smoking and wake up to the real world of british politics.

Just in case im not getting through to you, black people in british politics are used for window dressing purposes , they have no influence, no power, and no agenda, they are there to make up the numbers so that the party machinery can pretend as if they are an inclusive party catering to the needs of "multicultural britain" excuse me while i throw up.

I have always warned about this Ojukwu guy.
Unfortunately he has a stranglehold on his people.

@ Mekusxxx, i think your argument is LOGICAL, i have gone through your write ups, it is simply logical for any person that wants to hear to hear. You made your point, so don't bother your self about people that are resorting to several name callings or whatever.

I have come to realize one thing that the Yorubas are the most unreliable people to trust especially in a transaction or deal that they are the people to benefit first. A typical Yoruba man will shut the door against you once he has benefited, this is why I wasn't surprise at their grand father's (Obj) utterance that there was nothing like an agreement for rotational presidency in PDP, which he was the primary beneficiary. Some of these statements/questions should be posed to Obj, may be senility has set in & he may not be able to remember some of their earlier deals:

(1) Dr Alex Ekwueme was denied presidency in preference to Obasanjo in order to satisfy the yearnings of the Yorubas as per the annulled June 12 election.

(2) Southerners were equally given the opportunity to contest for presidency in 1998/99 because of the cry for marginalization, thus the agreement for 8yrs South & 8yrs North rotation in PDP to take care of our nascent democracy till it stabilizes.

(3) Why was Atiku asked to drop his presidential ambition in 2003, when it was clear that he was very popular that his master and had the support of over 25 PDP governors?

(4) Why was Peter Odili asked to step down in preference to Yaradua if not for the same arrangement?

Even Goodluck himself during his recent interview in US acknowledged the fact that something like that exists in PDP, so why is it that today only Obasanjo & all his Yoruba brothers are reneging that there was nothing like that, meanwhile, they have benefited from the arrangement, this is typical of Yorubas.

I have not all that been a fan of the rotation thing when 1st it was said, but I later came to understand that it will be beneficial to us all and for our democracy to thrive especially in Nigeria where tribalism & region representation takes pre-eminence, yes of course, we cant rule it out in Nigeria lets not pretend about it and start quoting what is happening in UK & US.

OgidiBoy:
Kudos to MSNBC for putting Nigerian on their front page. Fox Noise would never do such a thing.

This sounds like whining. . . . Even Minority tribes arent whining this much. This is incredibly crazy . . . .

and a defeatist attitude at best. I cant believe how some igbos think its a shame. Ijaws people dont even have this mentality all they want is federalism. this is alarming and funny at d same time

The presidency isnt even SHIOT . An Hausa can be president time and time again who f***n cares, as long as theres federalism that we can develop ourselves it shouldnt be that serious.

If every citizen thought like you idiots then there would be over abillion countries in the world. People wouldnt migrate to US or UK. ahah As if  having a president from your ethnicity is life or death wtf Go and ask Jews in America if they had a president! What of Mexican?! Even black sef just get president.

Breaking News, President Umaru Musa Yar’ AduaPresident Umaru Musa Yar’Adua is dead, THISDAY can confirm. He passed on earlier this night between 9.30 and 10pm

He has been battling acute pericaditis, an inflammation of the membrane around the heart, since November last year for which he received treatment at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

He was brought back to the country under the cover of darkness in February and since then had been held incommunicado.

He will be buried tomorrow.

A meeting is going on at present at the Presidential Villa.

Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to be sworn in shortly.

Details later.

Chief Marv:
I've not seen a country like Nigeria[b] where youths don't want liberate themselves from the hands of these criminals that call themselves our leaders,[/b] is planed deal but God will judge them to their generations. As they burn the files to cover themselves God will expose them one Day.

Onlytruth:
Believe me I have seen more foolishness from Igbo commentators here than from any other tribes. My peoples idiocy is amazing and depressing.

Thank God for Ojukwu.
