Abu Nwafo Igbo, Abughi Onye Yoruba ...... As an Igbo man i will continue to say the truth, I do not care if my Umunna brothers call me Yoruba or not, but the truth is that; more than half of all these so called ''industrious'' Igbo millionare, building houses in Lagos, Kano and Abuja are all Cocaine Barons.

you speak the truth here but stop being a coward and use your yoruba name instead of starting every post with "We igbos"

bloody chicken

What was sound about the economic team of GEJ.
Some of u people miss the point that it's sometimes irritating and nauseating:people are disillusioned with PMB not that GEJ cudnt have been as clueless and drunk on the seat than he ever was,but because PMB had a golden opportunity to start from nothing with the greatest masses support ever had by a Nigerian president;but he has frittered it all on selectiveness,ethnicity,and sheer economic incompetence.
GEJ cud never have been an option in any decent society with the way he was running Nigeria aground,but the option that ought to have been celebrated now has become engrossed in the sheer surprise of him truly being in office that he has caused us another 2 years of pain,scorn and crass ineptitude.

thanks for the post. thats my problem with us: The hyping of Buhari because we didn't want GEJ and now, the short memory to forget about GEJ's ineptitude by thinking he is a better option at this point?

DropShot:
You've not disappointed with your post!

But just to educate you a bit, one thing is to steal from people and hide/pretend you've not stolen. It's a different kettle of fish when you display your loot in their front. It's like saying "I stole you blind and I'm free to do as I wish with the loot. Nothing you can do".

I bet you, no governor in the SW will do this and not get reprimanded for it. It's enough to lose your seat in the next election. But our SS/SE brothers and sisters will even hail such a governor and die to have him remain in office.

Figure out the difference.

and who told you some of his people are not reprimanding him. The problem is that you see everything through tribal lense.

I just tire for where this country is headed to.

Lalasticlala, Seun, Mynd44, I plead that this be taken to the fp for the purpose of fairness.

Thanks.

well the issue is not about religion cos the government will do same for Christians and we should frown at it irrespective of religion.

However the subsidization for christians was done at a time when official rate was 187 - so we are looking at at 27 naira subsidy. The current subsidy is about 120 if we use the current official rate (Form A4 rates). The subsidy provides a big opportunity for rent seekers and bureau de change operators as you can be sure there will be peeps who will get the subsidy but will not even travel.

Also the timing: the recession now seems worse. The naira has fallen so badly (my salary is terms of value is halved). How can you ignore school fees and medical bills even coming on air to say Parents should forget about sending their kids to school abroad and the you subsidise a religious pilgrimage.

ignore the PDP apologists. It is politics and people will always un-duely castigate their opponents especially when they are yet to get over a defeat.

HungerBAD:
True.

I am still puzzled why a truth speaker like this man, is termed a liar?his analysis is on point.

When the oil stood at $100,the Government of the PDP should have saved,but what did they do?they were busy sharing the oil money like Agege Bread.

And unfortunately,dropped a dead economy on Buhari's laps,while the Clueless one made a hasty retreat to the Creek of Otueke.

when you see the things he listed as achievements so far, you understand that it is the same old song.

treasury single account, elemination of ghost workers, improving agriculture. You would almost think it was Labaran maku talking

Zico5:
The most dangerous set of people in Nigeria are wailers and I look at them and I see nothing good. Thank God they are just 5% that has no weight in our polity. See the way they bombard fashola for the inspection in the former thread and see the way they tone down on wike. If u people are waiting to displace Apc with ur dead PDP, u are really on long thing o cos u go wait tire. Apc should just continue on making life better for citizens and leave the rest to God

What you fail to see is that this hypocrisy is in both wailers and zombies. There are peeps that will praise Fashola on the first thread and castigate Wike on this.

Well I don't blame you. We subconsciously see only what we want to see.

HungerBAD:
I mean, this is a good move by the OPC.

The plan of the OPC is to protect, and not destroy their land. The Militants in the Niger Delta, are destroying their own lands, and his is why i support this move by the OPC.

So let us talk about these militants.

The Militants in the West are a product of two worlds. They are from Ondo State, which is in the West. But, they are the Ijaws and the Itsekiri from Ondo State, and these guys are not Yoruba's, but pure Niger Deltans, who by accident of wrongful map drawing, find themselves in the Western part of Nigeria.

A typical example is Oritsefemi the Musician, who is an Itsekiri, but from Ondo State.

So, we can safely say the militants hitting the Western part of Nigeria are actually Westerners, and so the OPC should be ready to fight against their own brothers.

Lastly, kudos goes to the Nigerian Military for the flushing out,bombing and killing of these militants.

The way Nigerians say false things with confidence sha!

Yes some of the militants are Ijaw/Ilaje from Ondo state. But Itsekiri is not in Ondo but in delta state. Oritsefemi is from Delta state/

HungerBAD:
There is dignity in silence.

This Keshi's son should learn how to close his mouth,so he does not turn our sympathy for his family into a political discuss.

Your father has not even been buried,and you want to pick a fight with the Government?are you serious?

Nigeria mourns your dad,but we owe him nothing. Your father did not serve Nigeria for free,there are those that died doing things for Nigeria for free,and their family have been gracious not to politicize anything.

There have been hundreds of Corpers,who have died serving this Country. There have been hundreds of Military people who died fighting Boko Haram.

There was Rashidi Yekini and Samuel Okwaraji,and countless others who never got the kind of money your father made from Nigeria,but even served more than him.

Yet you ungrateful lad is still complaining.

What exactly did you want from the Government?when your father left Nigeria,he went to Togo. So what does this mean?it means he was a mercenary who served different countries.

All life is special,and your dad's death is not more important than the death of any other Nigerian.

Go take a look at the videos of Boko Haram slitting the throats of our Soldiers,and yet your father died of a natural cause,far richer than the Soldiers getting their throats slit for the Country.

This over pampered boy should keep his mouth shut,and mourn his dad with dignity.

he didnt ask for it. They (FG) promised it.

DropShot:
Go get proper education before you start mentioning my moniker.

Anyone who doesn't understand that removal of subsidy will push prices of Petroleum products upward is not worth my time.

Finally, when you lay your hands on the evidence to prove I'm a paid agent, bring it here. Loser!

I apologise on his behalf for calling you a paid agent.

forgive my ignorance:

I thought Kerosene wasn't subsidized anymore (the removal predates the current government). I am struggling to understand the logic in the bolded. are you saying removal of petrol subsidy would affect an already not-subsidized kerosene?

I know some people from the other side won't be happy reading this News.. From afar I can see Pains and tears in their eyes

We told you we always solve issue Diplomatically You called us cowards We told you we always imply tactful in what ever we are doing You still called Us cowards.. the chickens have been roasted " You can continue with your cowards chorus..

Even the Government knows that if there's no Peace in SW then there is no peace In Nigeria

I'm expecting some people to Shout Genocide and UN as usual.

To the millitants It is not easy to win an away match You can do whatever you like in your ND

what makes you think they are Niger Deltans

ManMountain:
Sad.
The death of anyone should sadden humanity.
I'm a Yoruba guy, but despite all the mocking by Igbos on this forum towards yorubas, I will never in good conscience be able to mock igbos on this.
It's just not what we are as OMOLUABIS, we should never allow some demented ibos to change who we are.
Those guys perfectly understood the consequences of their action though.

the mocking is both ways.

we see what we want to see.

As a non igbo and non-yoruba. i easily see both sides of the coin

tundexijim:
The same way u rejoice at every negative thing abt others... Bunch of hypocrites.. .

he might not be the hyprocrite. and just so you know on NCAN threads reporting about yoruba crimes, there will be yorubas who are appealing just like he is doing

alade112:
Guilty conscience at its peak. I mentioned no tribe I will be glad if you can show me whr i mentioned your tribe in my post U re feeling responsible already 2ru out last week,almost all the crime news on NL FP re perpetrated by dz same set of people About my age Type it on google 10kz

nairaland front page is a terribly small sample space. your comment would have been better if you were looking at drug crimes versus other crimes reported on nairaland.

but to the point that "all crimes news" on the front page last week were committed by "dz set of people" is of very little statistical significance. because if a different type of crime is reported this week, you might see another different "set of people".

catlova2:
All these militants from the SS and SE again. Na wa ooo.

Wont somebody brand them already as some religion's terrorist?





Ofcos they wont.

how do you come to conclusion they are SS/SE when they are most likely not. Your tribal and religious hate will always show itself.

Udmaster:
The Title Of This Thread Is Misleading. Lalasticlala do something pls.
Abaribe is talking about Abia Own while Ilaje People are rejecting the Ondo nominee.

exactly. the title insults the Senator's intelligence

Drienzia:
cry cry baby.
Wen u ready to learn, pm me

Oga quote the verse in Koran jare and stop beating around. I am a catholic so I would naturally have checked for existing historical accounts of the assumption. It is dogma for me and I believe it though.

finally all the Aisha wailing will stop. the distraction nor be here. whoever thought she was the aisha indicted or that she cannot travel to the US lacks capacity for (or to lazy to do) critical analysis.

HungerBAD:
This Judge is too dramatic.

Judges are supposed to be preside over cases,and not be the cases themselves.

There was no need for this unprofessional tantrum,by this Judge. That said,this is a Democratic Country,and the DSS should not be disobeying any court order.

nothing dramatic here. well except saying he would vacate his office. but that is is because the judiciary is the most undermined arm of govt.

Drienzia:
We ain't bothered. Because even Koran stated that "if you find anything confusing here, you can ask those who read the bible. The truth is already revealing that"


Jesus was the only person that performed miracles in the koran. Muhammad was busy leading his followers to various wars, till he died.

The only woman mentioned in the koran is Marian"mary(the mother of jesus)
Koran said she went to heaven with her physical body. Meaning the assumption of the blessed virgin is written in the koran.

You people should come down from your high horses let me educate you about the koran you studied and didn't understand since you were kids.

Lots of Muslims converts to Christianity on daily basis, so cut the crap!!!

Koran said Muhammad is dead. And won't rise again.
Same koran said Jesus is the word of God.
And koran said God created the world through the word(Jesus).
They er just confused being. Surely they need our prayers...

Peace!!!

the way some Nigerians can be confident while spreading falsehood shocks me.

Koran never talks about the Assumption of Mary. the closest to that in islam history is the writings of an English Muslim convert - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lings

Trina0936:
Oga wetin? After all the said guy is alive not dead! Pls don't quote me again,I only aired my opinion,air yours without quoting me abeg!

your opinion is in the public domain just like mine which you also quoted.

Trina0936:
Are you really a guy?,If so thumbs up to your non-sentimental and non-hypocritical comment! Few like you exist!
Not supporting the lady's action but then who knows what she has also gone through in the guy's hands?

hope you will support guys who kill their wives who put them under emotional trauma?

I think we should say no to violence irrespective of provocation (non physical/ non violent provocation). Very difficult but should be what we strive for.

you say we do not know but we can only comment on what the story says. If the story is true then what she did is devious and regrettable.

if the story is false then there are all sort of conjectures one can think of. Who knows if the guy was trying to pour oil on her and spilled it mistakenly on himself etc.

mamdanju:
According to Ayekooto Akindele facebook post:

When Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence staff was fron SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!
Still there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!
We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets.
These are documented facts!
Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free .

chief of naval staff was a Yoruba man
chief of air staff was an Ijaw man -although from the then Eastern region (not south-east and not Igbo). He fought on the side of the federal govt during the biafra war
Chief of defence position never existed until 1980.

follow your quote and focus on truths/facts and not sentiments.

this is what you have reduced yourself to?

omenka:
Fayose can keep bouncing around like a wound up toy while the idiots from you-know-where keep applauding his stupidity, just as they do every other demonstration of idiocy since march 2015.

Buhari would have over one year to stay in office on expiration of Fayose's tenure and the lifting of his immunity- then the full assault of the law, with the bullion van and plane load of evidences gathered against him so far, wound descend upon him with beastly ferocity. When that time comes, I hope these claptraps that think themselves salvation army can save him.

Time will tell.




Ps: be thou reminded, I don't respond to idiots.

the bolded is the only issue i have with this post

Beremx:
I should provide hardcore proof abi? You're not serious!

Don't you think the way they operated is different from their usual ways because the location isn't in the Niger Delta and there are no creeks to hide? You think well or you just wanna be ignorant.

do not speak what you do not know of to drive sentiments. the clashes in ogijo in ikorodu was done by militants but not Niger delta militants.

are some of these militants ijaw? yes. are they nigerdeltans? no. they are south westerners.

Untop project wey no be state government own??

Learn to read before commenting so you don't keep coming off as an unleterred commentator.

Hahaha. Blind support nor good. The guy just saw the name Wike and started singing praises.

Just to keep it balanced, read what your Pro-APC & Pro-Ameachi guy said below:

"Thanks to rotimi Amechi who gave the master plan and initiated the project to roofing level before leaving the office"

Well people should know that this is a Lekki Gardens project, the developers of the building that crashed in Lagos. it was renamed to Portharcourt Gardens.

conspeaker:
HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN IN THE BIBLE "condemn the act not the person" but how many times has he condemned the act... he is just romancing with them..

he has done that before. and the church has stressed (and is still stressing that). Why do you think catholics are said to be conservative.

LGBT peeps are called to Chastity.

NOETHNICITY:
And here again the pope wrong, with due respect to him. Religion must take a position as it concerns sin like it did during the time of Sodom! The Pope is simply trying tooo hard to patronise the west!

and he has not said homosexual act is a sin.

the condition of having sexual preference for your gender is what makes you gay not engaging in the act itself.

The church calls on gays & lesbians to live a life of chastity.

Frankyboy1:
I am happy to live in an era where the rich also cry and pay for their misdeeds while here on earth! God bless the day i voted right, God bless PMB the unshakable hater of corruption! Meanwhile Amcon is not under the presidency watch

this is not a corruption fight mister.

Your ignorance isn't different from those who scream political witch hunt !

you both think this is part of the fight against corruption.

Olalan:
Funny how some peps have started blaming the president in what is a solely business transaction gone bad which Mr Bruce has subtly admitted. Nigeria still has a long way to go if we all do not unite to speak against any wrong done irrespective of the political, religious and ethnic divide it falls. Banks that have collapsed in times past have their root causes in borrowings not repaid.

there are two interesting opinions;

first [/b]and really pathetic - as you said - those who claim witch hunt for a pure business transaction. You owe banks. I pay on your behalf on condition that if you can't pay me, I recover my money as equity. One reason for this is the over-zealousness of the Amcon staff who make it seem like they would close down the place rather than take over or sell out.

[b]second - those who put him in the category of criminal and corrupt and who is receiving his due punishment. these ones dont understand that there is nothing criminal about owing and failing to pay back. it is purely civil.

heykims:
fools everywhere. I wonder if Christians in tertiary institutions wear church garments to schools as their Muslim counterparts wear their hijab or they wear it even in market places.
Even in European countries, u see Muslim students in hijab.
CAN a whole body of Christian dominations even have d gut to even disobey court orders and d ignorant still hail them...

as shameful as it is what CAN did, you need to realise they have not disobeyed a court order.

Someone needs to challenge the wearing of christian robes in court and then the court bans the wearing of christian robes first before you accuse CAN of contempt of court.

It is a shame there is no universally accepted definition of feminism -- maybe we should fix that first.

exactly fix that. I support geneder equality (i mean equal opportunities for all) but i have too many versions of feminism to take any version serious.
