₦airaland Forum

Have nothing against Sowore, in fact I love him. But in 2019, it's PMB or no one.
Anybody can start tearing their shirt. But do well to challenge me to a debate on my reasons after your usual rants and insults. I welcome them a lot.

tomakint:
Trust me that guy (ebullientkay) you quoted made lot of sense which you are oblivious of and probably not in tune with based on your orientation on Nigerian politics. Atiku remains the best out of the pack for now that can tackle a Buhari, leave it or take it!

See him class mate. Eulogizers of nonsense and corruption.

ebullientkay:
Most of the people complaining that Atiku is not fit to be president, have no genuine political candidate in mind.

If Duke is your man, be rest assured he would lose a huge chunk of votes in the north and west. Only Kano state alone with their underaged voters, will win in such outcome.
In this game, you look for a titan with an edge nationally. Someone who has tentacles in all the regions. Someone who shares your interest in #Restructuring the nation.

Remember, the mission at hand is to unseat the incumbent president, not to debate who is more saintly. Saints are presently solving calculus on our heads as I write. Now, worrying over trivialties, is not the big issue. The big issue is being determined to unseat the incumbent with our collective pvc.
If we divide our votes between unpopular candidates, we would be the loser because the incumbent would have had a converged collective vote as a northern-semi-western choice.
In the long run, we have four more years of hellfire. Three years of sniffing the smoke from the furnace alone, has been unbearable.

Changing the present change is our #mission.
And if we're presented with either Atiku or Buhari, you already know what to do. If you can't see the ballot boxes well, ask questions. Be sure of the box you're casting your vote. It is your #power.
Your vote, your choice.
If most of us had done our jobs well during the last election, we would have been in #continuity by now.

See person family member. To this type of people nonsense is a virtue. Imagine saying his mission is to unseat an incumbent president whether he has the qualities or not. To this type of people anything goes. And you say him know him direction. Anywhere bele face.
Smh.

DUTCHDON:
We have Buhari as President,we can't get any lower

Are you comparing Buhari and Atiku? Head of State and now President?

As in Atiku? The same Atiku that can't visit U.S like me? To be President? We haven't sunk that low please.

Mynd44, Lalasticlala should Buhari contest?

This is not the first time Obasanjo would want to play God or even see himself as the father of Nigeria. It was this same Obasanjo that came to Rivers State and declared a free and fair PDP governorship Primary as having K-leg.

philiancoop:
One thing about these buhari supporters is that once you mention how bad OUR present government has been, they run to compare with Jonathan. Cant you leave the PAST president and let's talk about this present Buhari?
BTW
Nwanne sharaap

One must take note of the past, present and the future to make headway.

BUHARI SHOULD CONTEST IN 2019 BECAUSE OF OBASANJO’S LETTER.
Yesterday I read a letter by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Normally those days whenever I see headlines, I don't bother reading cos I already know what is contained in it. But I decided to read from start to finish simply because it's coming from former Obasanjo and to pen down the points raised in the letter. But I have a digression from his opinion? Have anyone noticed that Obasanjo always appears to be a hero in all of his letters and opinions? One would think that when Obasanjo supervised the affairs of Nigeria, all was Uhuru but it's wasn't so because no sector can be said to be perfect of near perfect after he left office.

This is not the first time Obasanjo would want to play God or even see himself as the father of Nigeria. It was this same Obasanjo that came to Rivers State and declared a free and fair PDP governorship Primary as having K-leg. Denying the authentic winner his right and gave it to someone else. This same Obasanjo started a third term Agenda trying to mock our Constitution by changing it to suit him to run for an undemocratic third term. Obasanjo who was later disgraced because the Senate then, called his bluff. After then, decided he was God, attacked anyone with Presidential ambition with the Efcc and later foisted A sick Yar’Adua on us.

Obasanjo later in his book criticized Yar’Adua. Exonerating himself from any wrong doing and blamed Yar’Adua for what he termed not being truthful with his health. If Yar’Adua was to be alive to complete his tenure, am sure Obasanjo would have written him a letter asking him not to recontest sighting his illnes and other things only known to him. The death of Yar’Adua ushered a new President from the Niger-Delta extraction in the person of Goodluck Jonathan. Obasanjo went to almost every campaign with Jonathan in 2011 telling us he was the best thing after slice bread. Jonathan became the President and towards the end of his tenure, he, just like yesterday wrote an open letter to him accusing him of anything he wishes.

Obasanjo’s attitude of trying to exonerate himself as one of those who has put this nation in our present mess is the height of hypocrisy. During Obasanjo’s tenure, what worked? Is it the continuous bickering between himself ND his Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar or the constant awarding of contracts that never saw the light of the day. Obasanjo sunk billions of dollars for power generation but nothing was shown for it. Today, the present government generates 7,000 Megawatts of which Obasanjo could not. The East West road was awarded almost three times and the culprit in that corrupt act was accommodated in Aso Rock. If Obasanjo has done what was expected of him, other Presidents after him, would have concentrated on other areas, borrow from his quality leadership, consolidate on his legacy and Nigeria won't be in this mess it is today. Lagos is a model. For Godsake Obasanjo is part of the old thieving politicians that has kept this nation where we are.

President Mohammad Buhari has his shortcomings but it is not in the place of someone like Obasanjo to tell him not to contest. Does Obasanjo understand what democracy entails? Oh I forgot it's in his nature to subvert people's wish and force candidates on them. If President Muhammad Buhari has no intentions of contesting for president come 2019, he should start nursing such ambition. It is his right, and civic obligation. If not for anything for future President because Obasanjo won't stop with him. In that letter he talked of a new movement of which he will be part of. The message Obasanjo is sending is clear. “I want to always be part of those who make Presidents in Nigeria until I die. Mr President you are a general just like Obasanjo and I know you won't allow him push you around. If I were you Mr. President, I will not dignify him with a response. He completed 8 years of Presidency with nothing to show for other than embezzling our common wealth but today, he is writing open letters to insult our collective reasonings.
Mr President, CONTEST in 2019.

Nairaland and jobless people

DearPeople:
Now that you think you have made sense, your village people must be proud. The topic is pointed at 'Nigerian Christians' and I dare say she is lucky to be alive because we all know what would have happened to her if she was a Muslim!

Igbos and their ever religious tag! Kemi shamed Seyi Law, David Ibieyiomi or whatever his name is and many other personalities and she never did it under the Christian umbrella. Why then should Christians fight for a raving, unstable druggie who claims she is better than the CIA and the FBI plus MOSSAD combined?

Is it surprising that this piece was written by a flattie and supported by someone who is tilting it towards religion?

You still don't get the point and you have shown where you are coming from and the intention of your reply to the writer. You ve already started calling him flattie and at this point I won't reply you anymore. Am not in for any tribal nonsense many of you here covet.

DearPeople:
Dear Princewill Chimereze,

Common sense is not common. When you make allegations against someone and the person decides to go the way of the law, it is up to you to stand by your claims by providing evidence. If not, you would be charged for slander, just as madam Kemi was charged for libel because hers was published.

That said, why she is still confined is because she failed to meet her bail conditions. Simply put, aunty is broke and no one is coming forth to bail her. But since you claim to know your left from your right, you could as well step up and meet her bail conditions

The article is not about whether she slanders or not, whether she met her bail conditions or not or whether she is broke. But the silence that has greeted her detention by supposed people who would have rained brimstone and hot oil if she was arrested by a Muslim or someone perceived to be leaning towards Islam or in support of the government of the day.
The article also pointed out similar examples of this case. One needs to read and digest before commenting no one pays you for being first to comment.

Justice is no longer justice if it is one sided - Princewill Chimereze.

Kemi Olunloye a self acclaimed investigative journalist, is not the best of characters in Nigeria. In fact she is not the kind of role model any mother would want her daughter to emulate. But no matter the characters of a person, their human right remains sacrosanct and at all times must be upheld in accordance with the law.

Nigerians woke up to news of the arrest of Kemi Olunloye by a clergyman in Port Harcourt and since then, she has been in and out of police custody without any trial. I am one of those who was particularly happy she was arrested if for nothing, to see how authentic her stories are and the veracity of her claims as an investigative journalist but apparently from the look of things, she is just an online troll who probably derives joy being in the news and who can't do without attention seeking and gossip as with most Nigerians online.

But my anger about her arrest and detention, is the blind eye that has greeted her arrest by online warlords, ethnic bigots, religious bigots, those who see political every colouration to issues, hash tag creators hypocritical Christians and Nigerian youths at large. It took Nigerians weeks after her arrest to create an online hash tag that gathered less retweets like an insignificant story. There was no protest on the violation of the rights of Kemi Olunloye by fellow Christians and which was masterminded by supposed Christian man of God who will be hosting a five nights crusade later this month. One wonders what he will preach to his congregations of which one of the principles of the religion he practices and leads a herd, is forgiveness.

Kemi Olunloye’s case, shows a clear hypocrisy of Nigerian Christians. Imagine Kemi was arrested by a Muslim or an Islamic clergyman, within few minutes of her arrest, hash tags would be created. Such hypocritical hash tags would read; #Freekemi, #WeSayNoToIslamization, #IslamIsEvil, #KemiIsAChristian, #KemiIsTheVoiceOfChristians. This hash tags would be retweeted by those who are chronic mischief makers and politicians who want to score political points and play on the gullibility of the people. Aside this, the debate will be online with many half schooled, half baked or sheer illiterates seeing it as a gang up against Christianity all in a bid to score cheap religious points. In fact a hurriedly organized group will spring up demanding within 3 days the release of Kemi Olunloye.

The story will metamorphose into national discuss, radio stations, TV stations and the print media will use them as opinion polls. Nigerians will phone in and condemn in totality the arrest of the lady whether she is guilty or not. A clear example is how this same shameful set of people started a hash tag for notorious armed robber Evans. Only that those whose conscience are still intact suppressed it. But it was a clear pointer to the argument of the writer. Another example of such hypocrisy is the violence that greeted Rivers State and Benue State at almost the same time. But online users, mischief makers and characters portrayed by this writer chose that of Benue to cry on and saw that of Rivers state a mere exercise of who kills more. To this set of religious “olodos” the Benue killings is an attempt to wipe out Christian communities in the North and that of Rivers state is a “We-we” something and deserves less condemnation. One wonders if there's any statistics showing the religion of those killed in Benue attacks.

Christians must rise above hypocrisy and emotional blackmail. It makes every argument suspicious and skewed and sometimes makes the desired result of a particular agitation elusive and be seen as mere wailing. This nation must grow above religious colouration of issues and helping politicians to politicize serious national issues for their own gain.

sunbilor:
Morndew come and tell us what you think.

Hope you read the story very well and you understood the points of Miyetti Allah? This is a submission that can be submitted by anyone. And since they ve offered their own opinion on the way forward on the menace of herdsmen attack, they should be dealt with and their submission automatically means they are behind the attacks? You see many of you should leave Nairaland and study more to boost your intelligence level rather than wasting your time here.

MORNDEW

Party at the beginning of the year when serious minded people are planning on how to work harder for themselves and a better society. This is the height of joblessness and shows the direction of our youths.

FRESHG:
I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH YALL ]ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS

People like you should be properly checked on their mental level.

sunbilor:
Nobody is criticising Buhari BECAUSE HE IS FROM THE NORTH! Is Yaradua whom we supported en mass not from the same Katsina state with Buhari? Buhari is a political mistake that must be corrected by 2019 take it or leave it.

LOL. maybe you need to tell yourself the truth. Cos a news of Crowd cheering Buhari showed the real truth of who your likes hate through the comments emanating from there and other news on this forum.
Talking of 2019, the political mistake according to you would be corrected on Nairaland as usual abi?

Lol, watch how those who criticize Buhari cos he is from the north tell you how Dakwambo lived in the east, almost married an igbo woman, and even accommodated Ojukwu during the war. May one never be confused as this political miscalculators.

Buhari for life.

What kind of irrational generalization is this? Saying all Rivers youths are cultists. Please that our leaders are cultists doesn't mean we are cultists too.

Millz404:
I have never been concerned weda Nigeria stays together or divide into whatever bits it feels like but i seriously i think these people should have a separate country of their own with wateva breed of leaders they want to have. They are just too comfortable in their poverty and suffering. Just imagine

And you probably want Jonathan in your own country right?

johnstar:

Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala what is this? Can't commenters like this be dealt with?

sunbilor:
I didn't bother to read what u posted cos I care less.

You will care less but herdsmen and IPOB are not the same and that's fact.

FX:
Instead of you to seek for help and bet like a business. Have you ever asked somebody what is the safest option to bet on a game. If you understand that one of the safest bet option is NO OWN GOAL , and you just get 4 of these bet with an odd of like 1.10 each giving you a total odd of like 1.5. It is very very rare for a team to score itself. It happens but very very rare. I bet you will always be smiling to the bank. How can you loose 6m when I made 600k profit.

Bro. Please are you using a different bet365? Cos the one I accessed just now is showing 1/20 ND I don't understand it

sunbilor:
So because IPOB has a known leader, a common cause and a base, they qualified as terrorist while MACBAN does not. Please I am not here to convince you. You can believe whatever you like. Your business not mine.

You can't convince me cos from your comments I've deduced ur level of comprehension of national issues, politics and governance. Rather you should be ready to learn. Macban has no formal agitation. And they have not formed any rag tag military outfit, have not planned to disrupt election in a sovereign nation or try to create a country inside a country. They have not openly stopped vehicles looking for ethnic nationals of Nigeria to kill or inflict injury on or burn down a police station which are the characteristics of urchin like terrorist organizations like IPOB.
One can only speak out of hearsay but Macban has not been linked to any killing in the county. The said herdsmen who carry out this atrocities do so on their own discretion and till date no one can say this is the face of killer herdsmen in Nigeria so don't equate them with a terrorist organization like IPOB that has been gazetted.

I hope you have been schooled.

sunbilor:
Which group came out openly to contest the anti-open grazing legislation in Benue State? If you have been following trends you won't be asking me these questions.

So because they opposed anti grazing bill, they are now herdsmen. Same way Soyinka opposed gay law in Nigeria. Does it mean he is gay?
My friend you see emotions can't overturn logic. Fulani herdsmen are criminals just as kidnappers, they are scattered in Nigeria, have no known leader, base or common cause. So it will be just mere emotional outcry to equate them with a terrorist organization like IPOB who have the above named characteristics.

sunbilor:
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association.

And they are the ones killing people?
And you have evidence to it?

sunbilor:
Please google MACBAN.

better put up what Macban means here. And how it answers my questions.

Nairaland is a gathering for some mumus. When light was steady they never applauded the government but on hearing news of blackout they jump in condemnation. Are these people even merciful to themselves. Must they be bitter?

Simple question, who is the leader of herdsmen?
What is their grouse?
What are they fighting for?
All these are what you should ask yourself before asking for dealing coz you must know who and what you are dealing with.
