edo is one and libral. Evidence it voted for pdp president and apc governor, house of assembly. The only reason why edo and the SS concur to an extent with igbo is on gej, but to loose EDO OR SS lands to igbo. The SS resist that, when the real war comes. Ths is just mere noise of biafra attempting to secced SS LAND

when you talk about Edo liberalism and diversity and then you say Edo dont want Biafra, you contradict yourself.

I am Edo and I dont want Biafra but trust me when I say i know Esans who prefer to align with Igbos and biafra than yorubas. Edo is so diverse that within the same LGA you could have yoruba speaking and igbo speaking indigenes.

Super1Star:
Lamurudu is the father of Oduduwa, look for your wandering lost son somewhere else.

are you talking to me or to those who provided these folklore (both Ife and Benin accounts)

blazetitov:
“The Ooni of Ife, by historical facts, is a son of the Oba of Benin, so they are not in the same class".

How can the guy from benin be contradicting himself by saying the Ooni of Ife was a son of the Oba of Benin and at the same time saying that the Oba of Benin stool has no relationship with the Yoruba race. I don't get it.

you know this are historical accounts formed merged with some folklore so dont take them seriously.

however the statement isn't self contradictory. The stool having no relationship means the stool and the Oba of benin never came from yoruba land. That a Benin prince setup the stool in Ife doesnt mean vice versa.

note that the yoruba account says that the binis banished their prince and heir apparent (Ogiso dynasty) and needed a king and asked the ife king to give them his son who became Oba Eweka 1.

The benin account is that the prince they banished "Omo-odua" founded Ife and sent his grandson back to benin.

docadams:
Hmmmmmmm.



Are you not committing the same offence EFCC is accused of committing? Imagine you pronouncing an accused innocent before judgement day.

actually an accused remains innocent until proven guilty. So Metuh is not a criminal until the court says so

Pesuzok:
Dont be economical with the truth. That was caused by the decline in the price of crude oil with has persisted even with the new govt. Please say the truth and dont politicise everything

i laughed when i saw that part. I wish peeps can criticize Buhari without praising the ineffectual & clueless GEJ. then i can join in criticizing not the wailing-induced criticism.

meanwhile APC peeps should keep on making excuses for Buhari o. we are watching.

PentiumPro:
To me, he is showing signs of despair and frustrations. Regrets are already obvious on his face, but he is doing a good job trying to show a tough guy mien

very true. so you can talk sense like this? thought it is only tribal bigotry you sabi o

hkidola00:
three main tribes in Nigeria, igbo, Yoruba and Hausa, so wich of d three will we assemble kanu and ebele into
?

so the ijaw in ondo state will be in which tribe?

the yoruba speaking ugbodu in aniocha part of delta will be in which tribe?

you need to understand diversity. there are far more tribes beyond yoruba, Igbo and hausa. tribailism in nigeria is particularly associated with these three main tribes especially yoruba and igbo

hkidola00:
let try to unify nigeria nnamdi,
ur ogogoro bastard brother below almost sank dis country, but thank God, WE ARE SEEING CHANGES

how is GEJ a brother to Nnamdi KANU? an Ijaw man and an Igbo man?

Abbycite:
That is d kind of stupid protests that derailed every tangible policies of past governments. I dont know how dis pple use their brain, but am sure it is not used optimally. When GEJ attempt subsidy removal, these so-called labour leaders in collaboration with some political dickheads, organize d largest protest ever witnessed in d country. Fastforward to December 2015, we paid dearly for it by purchasing fuel for as high as 500 naira per litre.

If I spent an average of 500 naira per night to power my generator without protesting to anybody, why should I protest a fee increase of 10 naira which acumulate to a sum of 300 naira in a month for 'NEPA'.

do you use 1 kwh per per day?

most people use an average of 20kwh which translates to 6000 naira per month.

to put this in context, EKEDC charges me 31 naira per kwh now and is to increase to 41 naira per kwh with the new tarriff. Luckly my estate got an IPP (using gen, modular gas and maybe EKEDC) that offers 24 hrs power at 45 naira per kwh. some 24 hrs generator estates in lekki charge 60 naira per kwh. With the size of a disco, it is normal to expect them to charge slightly less. note that EKEDC, even with my R2 line is not providing more than 12 hrs daily.

should i then celebrate EKEDC for giving me 12 hrs power a day at 41 naira per kwh when small IPPs can give me 24 hrs at almost same price. if making me get 24 hrs power means I pay almost as much for generator supplied power then I wonder what the whole fuss is about.

That's a complete lie. There has been a virtual stalemate since March but Boko Haram has maintained control over a large swathe of Borno during that time. That is why they are often able to move in large numbers over great distances and mount attacks largely unperturbed.

Boko Haram illustrates the complete moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the Nigerian political class. Had GEJ tackled this menace earlier, it would not have gained such control. Of course, it didn't help that the likes of Buhari sought to gain political capital in the early days by claiming an attack on Boko Haram is tantamount to an attack on the North. Nigeria is a country run by idiotic traitors.

Very true

and just so you know 4Play. The objectivity in your political section posts is something i admire.

4Play:
Nigerians are downright evil. People are being slaughtered but many remain in denial mode because they want to save face for politicians who don't give a crap about your existence.

This is the exact same denial campaign PDP defenders mounted during the GEJ era whilst people were being slaughtered. Is there no ounce of decency or humanity left in you lot?

exactly. PDP tried to downplay then. APC doing same now.

APC needs to realise that most neutrals did not want GEJ back albeit were still skpetical about PMB. There is no chance that GEJ can come back (or ever defeat PMB) in future as most Nigerians do not want him. APC do not need to compare themselves with the previous Govt or be campaigning while in Power. If APC dont get their acts right, a new candidate/party will spring up and give them a run for their money.

Hello Shoptomydoor

you need to check your contact phone number. I have called through out today but no one picks. I get an answering machine telling me the call is recorded and the IVR keeps repeating.

I want to come pick up an item tomorrow. please confirm what time you open on saturdays.

ALISMILE:
The truth is d truth even if it came from d devil that does not make it false!That's my positin!

now i am with you.

balash:
I won't blame the useless Omolara or david entirely. But the stupid wicked parents that gave such little girl out. No matter how worst everything is with you. Learn to live under the same roof with your Children no matter how poor.

No matter how worst it is for you. Learn to live with your kids, if it's only garri you have drink with them with love. Not sending them away from home because you can't train them. Nigerians are not so worst that Much they would help you even if it's to send them to public schs and get meagre amount for you to start petty business. Stop sending your kids out to work for people, Nigerians don't treat maids well. They need to teach Nigerians that the fact that you have a Maid doesn't mean she can't be trained like your kids. It's just to render help when you are too busy at work or sick.

when a post makes so much sense you ignore the grammar errors !

ALISMILE:
Blame d brainless Nigerians who re praising Dino! Nigerians re jus too dull 4 my liking! In saner climes pple will ask Dino to shut up and address d issues in d letter!

i am interested in what you would have said if that letter had come from GEJ.

meanwhile Legislators are raking in so much money and I support OBJ's position (not his person) in that letter.

arcnomec:
Get a life, young man

I felt insulted with the young man tag until i saw your profile pix.

You have my respect Elder!

ogmaskman:
My brother they do oooo. One of the reasons why NTA and AIT have not won best tv station for a while is because of their partisanship. Channels is professional.

thats interesting. maybe cos of the few shows i watched. I generalised about them. That said I still prefer them to AIT.

NTA will always dance to the tune of the government in power.

SkyBlue1:
The focus of any issues with this should be purely from the logic of arguments against proceeding with it, and not uneccesary sectional sentimentalism that has gotten us nowhere after over 50 years. Amaechi was hired to be Minister of Transportation for Nigeria and not for the Niger Delta, there is a Ministry of Niger Delta and a Ministry of Education if you feel so passionate about it. To add to that, being a Minister is not even an elected position so he has no constituency that can demand whatever they like, he is answerable to Nigeria as an entity.

With the current economic climate I don't understand what the ministry of transport should be doing building universities, issue has never been about number of universities we have (specialist or non specialist) but about the quality. If we can focus on improving the one we have to world class standard with the limited resources we have now then that makes sense. Look at the top 1000 universities in the world and tell me how many Nigerian ones make the grade. But the title of the thread already tells you where this is going - "our brother our brother our oil our suffering".

it is not just another university. it is (going to be) the only maritime university. The problem is his reasons for the cancellation not the cancellation. The reasons are not sound enough.

sagircarioca5:
So they have forgotten to compliment the effort of PMB, all they knew is sentiment!!

hope you complimented GEJ's effort when PDP lost states to court cases.

The truth is this is not even a victory for Judiciary cos if there was one election that should be cancelled and rerun, it was this. The election was marred by violence and widespread irregularities and I am surprised the Supreme court upheld the election. I compare Taraba judgement with this and I laugh.

That said, Wike would have still won the rerun though. His popularity in Rivers (especially among the lower & uneducated class) is astronomical

kevinscore:
And some morphos will come here and be telling us that the judiciary is been controlled by PMB.kudos to buhari for restoring independence of the judiciary.

PDP lost some states to court cases while GEJ was president you know

ogmaskman:
As presenters their job is to come up with opposing views for a balanced session. Assuming the guest supported #PMB they would have done same the other way.

I am still waiting for the day Channels presenter will oppose a Pro PMB

erinalex:
were u forced to watch channels ? Once someone have a contrary view,u quickly tag d fellow pro. What of AIT,they are pro what? Yeye dey smell

AIT is pro PDP na

Channels is mildly Pro APC, More Pro PMB though

TonyeBarcanista:
Where are the IPOBians that worship Ayo Fayose? I always maintain that ones loyalty to his ethnic group must superced the interests of any political party. Only a fool will create enemies with his brothers ang group because of partisanship.

You see why tribal sentiments supercede all in Nigeria? despite your post (bolded) being tribal, it will make sense to me and 95% of Nigerians.

Meanwhile, it means Ngige should also be loyal to his tribe. likewise Amaechi.

Tranquill:
This is 'buyers remorse' from Cardinal Okogie. He rooted for Buhari thinking that a leopard will ever change it's spot by mere bathing in the rain. I'm sure others will be bold now to start speaking out.

he never rooted for Buhari. he only spoke against the previous government. he normally never roots for anybody. I only have a 50% belief in the authencity of this article though.

asEdeyHOT:
Is Buhari responsible for all these?

GEJ had the opportunity to save for the rainy day but he left the reserves worse than he met it despite the fact that he was in charge when oil prices reached an all time high.

Diversification of the economy has been on the agenda of every government since 1960 but has any implemented it? No

Now things have reached a crescendo where oil is now virtually worthless and everybody is blaming Buhari

I would even surmise that diversification to other extractive sectors is just folly. Nigeria should not depend on Solid Minerals, China has excess stock of steel- they may start throwing some away soon. It is that bad.

What we need is a Knowledge economy where we innovate and manufature things. I have a lot of Saudi colleagues and despite the fact that their leaders are cocaine sniffing, closet homosexua.ls, they have invested billions of dollars to improve their competitiveness. A lot of them are studying for PostGraduate degrees in STEM courses and they have built innovative hubs all over the country.

Nigeria needs to totally change its orientation and blueprint.

@Topic

Adebanjo is an old useless Afenifeya who only cares about his own stomach. No one takes him serious in Yorubaland

i agree with all but for the bolded, you might need to check your facts again.

Jaja Wachukwu. The bookish minister. He was said to be super smart and had the biggest personal library in west africa

ogmaskman:
You addressed his comment maturedly at the beginning but ended your post poorly. More like the leopard can not hide its spot.

i didnt see the poor part of his post. in fact this post in question and his further posts seem very rational to me.

He has not taken a position on whether PMB or the minister were insensitive but what he is saying is that you should attribute the "falsehood" of what was reported about the minister to "BBOG"/Aisha Yesufu rather than attributing the false hood to wailers/media etc.

The deception is from either the Minister herself or the BBOG group. the deception is not from the "certain" tribe or "wailers".

OgbeifunErom:
It will be very very interesting to see the reaction of IPOB Youths

Is Obiano impoverishing these market traders?

Is this fair? Is this not wickedness? This is just the beginning of the year

The report says they were warned! How many years warning did they give them?

Ipob Youths and their hypocrisy!


Ijiots!

lol @ how many years warning did they give them. A trader in Oshodi said most of them haf removed their wares. Na just the loss of shop they pain them

modath:
& a deceptive, pretentious, & divisive tribalist.

Twas during his campaigns that our differences became heightened, monster! Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde!

nope. you all had it in you. In fact, it came to prominence first during the 2011 elections when corp members were killed in the north.

Eziachi:
So why is 139 acceptance to you for a local government? Who decides what should be the acceptance figure?

i corrected a misinformation by providing a fact. You, on the other hand, made an assumption.

ricsman:
the same question I asked myself when Rivers PDP announced their Presidential election result. these results are ridiculous.

by the way I heard in Gej polling unit APC got zero vote. don't APC have agent there?

APC got 139 in Ogbia LGA which is GEJ LGA not 0

unless you are comparing a polling unit to a LGA.
