Because their side lost the 2015 election.

The cold fact is here in Nigeria, when your side loses an election, Nigeria becomes this evil country where everything goes wrong.

I saw the same thing with those who support the current admin .Before 2015, Nigeria was a mess to them then. Now, it is a paradise.

That's why I just dey look these PDP and APC guys on this site. And why I refuse to support Buhari or his opposition.

Like this Biafra thing. In the run up to the 2019 election...hundreds of Biafra activists were suddenly backing Atiku. That's the day I knew that this was all a game. (Or the people who criticised GEJ for some polices now supporting the same things being done by Buhari)

All in all, Nigerians need to stop seeing this country as a cake to be shared.

When PDP comes back, most of these people calling Nigeria a zoo, will change their tune. Because their side is back in power. Meanwhile, some people will suddenly regard Nigeria as 'evil'

I think the Biafia thing is more than that. It is not just about the politics for most Igbos, else we will really miss it.

Yes, with the PDP and esp GEJ, the agitations were more muted than it currently is. But that is cos tbe PDP and GEJ shown the Igbos some respect and so it was difficult for a tiny group(Massob, IPOB) to exploit the situation to further their stated interests.

With the very nepotistic(am sure even you cannot deny this) nature of the Buhari Govt generally, the disdain of the Igbos by the Govt, the terrible leadership vacuum of Igbo leaders(esp Govs) as well as developments like the unrestrain Fulani herdsmen killings: all of which have missed together and created a fertile ground for the furtherance of the interests of those groups(like IPOB) that would have been more difficult if the environment was different.

This is the crux of the matter.

My only hope is that somehow a majority of Igbos can still be made to see value in remaining in Nigeria i.e that Nigeria is not an obatacle to them attaining the utmost their individual and/or group efforts/talents can attain. I hope it is not too late before a better leadership that would understand and engage the issues, not just for Igbos, but for virtually every group in Nigeria.

It is my wish that Nigeria does not divide. But more importantly, that it works for every single one of her citizens. It currently is not doing so.

EKONGKING:
Good.
The army should release picture based evidence.
By doing so ,every body will be happy

I tell you.

I am really tired of this country, gan.

Is it a crime to be a young person in Nigeria?

Dear Lawd!!!

vedaxcool:
Religious fanaticism is the inspiration of most anti-buhari wailers. The opposite of the position he stated isn't to bring Muslims into your fanaticism but to ask why a pastor instead of preaching about God's words choose to preach about his hate for Buhari.

This is how your co-tribalists started violence in the SE because you hate PMB. You killed your kins and destroyed their properties because you hate one man.

Imagine now taking that hate to replace the a single day of the week dedicated to speaking about God. Sad hateful folks!

Mr Man, how come these pastors and bishops did not "hate" Yaradua, another Fulani President from Katsina, but "hate" Buhari?

Foolishness is reallly imbeded in a lot of people

There is no way in Law a validly elected Speaker can be removed with less than two-third majority of members. This is not jus a law. It is the constitution.

The job of the police is to enforce the Law. The Law as it stands now is that the Speaker has not been removed.

The police should ensure that he discharges his duties without any obstruction as per the Law, and not try to encourage lawlessness in the guise of "keeping the peace".

ENFORCE the law. Nothing more

flokii:
The problem now is that the security operatives are not ready or willing to go after armed bandits and herders.. why are they called security outfits if they can't go after these criminals abducting, killing and demanding ransom from people while they get away with thier crimes in most cases.

With the way things are going, the unity of this country is under serious threat. People are still hoping for the economy to get better, then some bandits of Fulani stock decide to make the country tense while the Fulani oligarchs in government refuse to take action.

What stops Buhari from designating bandits as terrorists and then use full force to neutralize them? what exactly is causing the delay??

Lolz.... you are wondering why the current security agencies are not "willing or able to fight these Fulani bandits" abi?

Anyways, I hope you are not amongst those iiddiots who shouted down some of us in 2015/2016 when Buhari filled virtually every security agancy with northern Muslim heads in an unprecedented concentration of security power in a single section of thecountry, telling us that Buhari is free to "hire anybody he is comfortable to work with"?

I hope you are not part of them, else the Thunder that is warming up ehn.....

DOTian:
When Buhari was busy foisting his tribesmen in every position in the land, some of you were busy challenging those who had the guts to challenge Buhari. Those ethnic henchmen he appointted to strategic positions are now doing the job they were recruited to do. How many people have been arrested for the invasion of the military academy? How many people have been arrested for the train incident? How many people have been arrested for the Agatu massacres? That's why it's important to fight against tribalism and sectionalism in any multiethnic state once they rear their ugly heads.. These events are no coincidence! It's an evil script that's being played out and it will end in blood if the country doesn't rise up and say enough is enough..

Thanks

When is President Buhari going to be removed from office?

What kinda of national assembly and political class do we have.

The country is almost completely gone and yet nothing.

Ammishaddai:
You're a mediocre mumu who is easily swayed with propaganda. Where was this same military when Bandits and Boko-haram where playing golf with citizens in Gonoyo in Sokoto ? Nonsense

Sorry, should not have crutch that last statement of mine as a question: something is definitely wrong with you

Ammishaddai:
Boko-haram has killed more soldiers than what the Nigerian military keeps touting about so I don't see the need for celebration here. In fact , it is a thing of shame

Will you keep quiet.

What the hecck is wrong with some of you?

pocohantas:
Nigerian celebs have very poor taste. Especially the ones in the music industry. When you see the kind of women they impregnate or the kind of men they are dating, you understand that money can’t buy class.

If Tiwa had some class or standard at least, what is she doing with an urchin who whipped out his phone in a pleasurable moment to video his woman? A woman he knows is a top rated African artist. A brand ambassador to various organizations. The mother of a growing child and role model to some girls that I don’t know.

She said he was using Snapchat? What kinda man uses SnapChat? Most sensible men can go 200 years without taking a picture. If you think I am lying, ask your hardworking bf in Shell or Pwc for his picture, it will take him 3 months to send you just one poorly taken picture. But Tiwa’s own downloaded Snapchat and decided to use it for sex video.

When I say, don’t fck with men that have nothing to lose, it is for a reason. Don’t fck men without a reputation to protect. Their senses are inactive, a perfect contrast to their gbola. Kpokpogarri and the likes. Spits!

Hehehehehe....

Lots of truths spoken in this comment

kazyhm:
I'm saying the Alfa comment can be liking to President Bihari speaking against nepotism......

He should first own up first, desist from it and advise his colleagues......not boasting no one can beat his children like that while he beats other people's children.

I get that.

But you have still not answered the question: do you think that such "discipline" is right ot wrong?

Your next response would determine if i should continue engaging you and what sort of person you are

Zoombies!!!!

puzzlegate:
You people UAR people don't have a nation and you don't have fear of GOD. Let us go and form a GOD fearing nation. We are tired of this evil country UAR

Do you really mean that?

kazyhm:
I'm telling you this incident is not alien to anyone that have even attended Ile Kewu you're referring to the comment as nonsense.

Are you an hypocrite yourself ?

Do you support that kinda treatment or not?

That people have always done a thing is immaterial in determining the rightness or otherwise of that thing.

I mean yoh sound educated so you should know this!!

Again, do YOU support it or not?

humility33:
Even the southwesterners I have at my work place and mentors just hate the man for no reason

I have try relate with them to see why he is not liked only deduce the tribal card been played

Just ignore, because the average Nigeria won't mind vote the devil as long he is from their tribe

Well maybe those Yorubas you have at work are Tinubu-Yorubas.

No sane human being or Nigerian for that matter whom hate Peter Obi. You can either support or not support him(and that is thr person's choice) but hate......

Go to Twitter and see the ethnic group of the persons vehemently supporting Peter Obi. Just go and check

humility33:
They hate him simply because he is not from south west

Forget it...south west and south east hate themselves with passion...

That is not true.

Always differentiate between a normal("sane" southwesterner and Tinubu-Yoruba clowns

Do this and know peace

Mumusaphire:
Mr buhari said same. So all of u should stop scamming us

He is not "scamming you". He practised it for 8 years as Govof Anambra state.

You really need to go read/find out about Peter Obi

seunmsg:
This Pandora clown was with Jonathan all through his presidency and he saw how powerful and influential Mama Piss was but never gave this advice. He’s out of favor now and suddenly has the best advice on how things should be done. Advice they didn’t have while in office.

Anyway, he can keep deceiving sheeples with nonsense like this. He’s a liar and a corrupt politician like the rest of them.

Hey, Zoombie

He didnt have an Office of the First Lady when he was Gov for 8 years. He lives what he preaches. He did more than "shouting" during GEJ Presidency.

You clowns want to as usual destroy a Good man cos of your sillly political support of a discredited old man. How is that working, lolz?

Bladdi Hypocrite!!!

abouzaid:
As the governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi scrapped the office of the first lady. Anybody from Anambra state would tell you that Peter Obi is against any form of waste, he's also a very reasonable human being unlike most Nigerian politicians.

If this is true, it is the most important point here. It means he actually practices(ans practised in this case) what he preaches.

Kudos to Peter Obi.

I want him as President

NOETHNICITY:
Your obsession with the North is just sickening

The beating happened in Yoruba speaking kwara state where all parties involved are yorubas
Not one single northerner has commented on this issue, yet you find a way to blame the north for this

But Kwara is in the north na, abi?

kazyhm:
Hypocrite! Is there any Ile Kewu that doesn't engage their pupil in various degree of dehumanizing disciplines ?....from hawking for eleha to all manner of chores......


One advantage of social media I don't like is, it has become a platform that enable people to live a double life and practice double standard.


It has also become a controlling tool as well. Anyone can now impose an unwarranted pressure in others to conform with an unwritten social structures standard.

What nonsense, non-committal comment is this?

So are you in support of the "various degree of dehumanizing" treatment as you described or Not??

Totilopussylick:
Hero of our time

Enjoy your freedom sir.

Let me ask a question: is it true that most Igbos really want to leave Nigeria or that they are just trying to protest against certain perceived slights from the Nigerian state? Is it a lost cause?

Wahalaperson:
i pity una for This sha, how will the country move forward when some people blindly supports corruption, how will a whole governor say he is not aware he is supposed to declare jointly owned assets, is that not madness and investigations even reveals they are not jointly owned, he owns them all, una foolish for this country sha

Investigations by whom?

This is the 2nd time you making this statement.

Who conducted the investigation? You??

GeneralPula:
Ipob will tell you Tinubu is this or that, but ask them to mention any SE leader that’s better tinubu , they’ll start foaming..

Peter Obi, Soludu and Okonjo-Iweala

Even tho this NA is the worst in Nigeria's recent history and budget implementation from the executive have remained abysmal, it is a good thing that budget cycle has returned to the more predictable Jan-Dec cycle.

I commend the Govt on this

stinechykee:
Don't mind those children of hate from South West of dustbin.Tomorrow if Maduka profile started soaring they will start digging everything available to pull him down

Why are you Igbos(on Nairaland) trying to make this about "tribe". The arrogance and emotinalism of some of you sha.

They are baiting you and you are falling fot it.

Go to Twitter and see the people defending Peter Obi or at least given him the benefit of the doubt. Most are not even Igbos. A lot of them are even Yorubas.

You need to be smart ebough to differentiate between Yorubas(generally) and the Tinubu-Yorubas.

Dont ever allow them box in Peter Obi as an Igbo, sectional candidate else he will surely loss the election if he contests. That by the way is what those Tinubu-Yorubas will try to do by the way. That is what they are already doing.

Think!!!!

warlordd:
Utter drivel! The article to me is nothing but a futile attempt to defend a fraudster who pretends to be a saint. Why should a public servant be involved in such shady deals as to fund companies in remote places with funds from my state coffers. Obi is simply a criminal, period!!!

Lolz...it is you who is the "fraudster" here.

Even the article didnt say what you are saying now. It is fraudulent of you to just pull that out of your azz.

Tdoctor:
The way tribal abuse goes on in nairaland, you begin to wonder if there is hope. When Peter Obi is questioned, Igbos rush out with brickbats to defend him. If Tinubu is mentioned, torrents of abuse rain from the Yorubas. If Buhari or Dangote is mentioned, the Fulani/Hausa flood the space with insults. Yet nothing is changing.

Yoots of today. Hypocrites of tomorrow Mtschew

Plzz you guys shoùld shut it with these Igbos this, Igbos that nonsense. Some of us are not from the SE yet we support Peter Obi.

Moreover, go to Twitter right now and search for Peter Obi mentions. Majority of the peeps supporting him there are not Igbos. Just go and search. A lot are actuallý Yorubas. There is another take on this issue by another Yoruba ans then northern lawyers that i read yesterday. Just like OP in this thread, they are not Igbos.

Focused on the issue plzz and dont be unfòrtunatè. The accusations and rebuttals that is.

Now, to the issue at hand. Let me just say i am somewhat disappointed that Peter Obi name was even mentioned in this context. And that is why i believe he needs to come out and clear up all these HIMSELF.

However, let me note that of the 4 or so persons mentioned already in this pandora expose, Peter Obi is the ONLY one that the words "stolen funds" has not been used. In fact, one of the writers of the article(Ibekwe) specifically said that they didnt not accuse Peter Obi of stealing or corruption after our own Seun asked him specifically on that on Twitter.

My views about Peter Obi has not changed. Not yet.

Shimran:
Only and only by her consent. I think I have clarified myself. Anything apart from is un-Islamic. Taliban, BH and their likes have nowhere to back forced marriage in Islam.

Your 9 years old CHILD can consert to a marriage?

Does your head hear what it wants to say before your mouth(or in this case, your hand) say it?

Are you listerning to yourself?

Shimran:
Everything in Islam is by intention. No compelling in religion (verse of the Qur'an).

In islam, marriage can't be conducted/concluded without: girl's consent or boy (man) 's consent.

Anything other than the above is tradition/culture/costumes, but not Islam.

For your question: I would rather let my daughter marry early than to fall under whatsoever victims of sexual abuse. Let her again continue with her education/studies while she married.

Thanks.

But she is not likely to continue education whilst married. That is the reality.

But wait o, did you just agreed that you will marry your 9 years old daughter out to a man?
Like what da ffuck!!!

There is something really fundamentally wrong with a lot of you "core" northerners. And it is deep.
I always try to keep an open mind and give people the benefit of the doubts but damn!! That is how none of you i have asked if they believe or support the Taliban have answered the question.

By the way, the Taliban believes in marrying out girls as young as 12. So does Boko haram in Nigeria, who just ordered such recently in a part of Niger State. So does Izala and other salafis organisation. And that is telling.

Something is really wrong. And i pray that i do not loss hope in northern Nigeria and in Nigeria cos of things like these
