Cote d'Ivoire is neither Liberia nor Sierra Leone. And We panafricans are sick of sold out african leaders who accept money to invade other african countries on behalf of foreign powers.
Mr Goodluck should mind Boko haram and niger Delta issues home instead of holding ECOWAS summit to plan invading Cote d'Ivoire.

Ivory Coast needs to be invaded. We can't have blood suckers like Gbagbo running around like it is normal. It isn't.

sorry but are u from cote d'ivoire

if so, u do not need to be angry or scared of nigeria army or Goodluck

i think all he what to do if he sends his army there is to restore peace.

why do they need to be invaded [/b]when we have not [b]invaded south-south or even my state from boko harem and mend

Jonathan should solve his own problems before looking above his shoulders.

Let the good people of Cote D'ivoire figure a solution to their own problem. Nations need to respect other people's sovereignty. I doubt Nigeria will be involved in this conflict. Now you better believe that the French would interfere in Cote D'ivoire to reassert former colonial aggression.

dont see  the reason y we can not invade country like ivory coast or liberia , even sierrae Leone  our neighbour in Camerondon't forget how the colonial master did be4, its called havg a master plan, an expansionist plan. but what do we hve as leaders . ewu like obj giving bakasi away

Ode remo, you have to have a strong sense of nationalism. Nigerian does not have such nationalist. You have tribal supremacist, but we do not have nationalist. Nigeria has so much potential to become a regional hegemon. Nigeria could make Chad, Cameroon, Benin, and Niger as provinces towards "A Gran-Nigeria." What Nigeria needs a strong leader, with a little pinch of fascist ideology.

Harsh! Did my words hurt you so much? You have been trying to get the last word with me. Are you that petty? If you are upset that I called you such, then let your actions speak for itself. I am not in Nigeria in the first place. I have no time to argue with you. It is not my nature to look in black or white, there are gray areas. What is an African American supposed to talk like? Only an ignorant person would say such ish! Do not bring my mother into your little argument. If you have a problem with me, then so be it. But do not bring my family into this.

@ Ochi Agha: I repeat : God Punish Black American. Infact, make I attack u direct becus subliminals don tire me : GOD PUNISH YOU A ZILLION TIMES FOR ACCUSING. ME AS A TRIBALIST AGAINST NDIGBO! Ogun o gbuwo e gbe era e! Olori Ibu. U dey crase; Black American! Wetin u think say me I be? Japanese? Wetin u think say my papa be? My mama mama, nko? Abi were nse eleyi ni? Nice try trying to hide under ur mom's cloth! Noone insulted ur mother. All I did was hit u with a easy challenge. Let's see each other via web cam and see who looks more "African", since na wetin dey shack u for head be the fact say na one Shaniqua born u! It'll be such a befitting end of year gift to myself to bring ur likes down to earth and force feed u humble pie. Omo ale jati jati!

Nigeria should not go to ivory coast!!! africans would see it as a nigerian domination agenda. Its not the government's business!!!

africans would see it as a nigerian domination agenda. Its not the government's business!

whats wrong with that?

ode remo:

whats wrong with that?

everything!!! why should we try to dominate our brothers? i do not want africans to develop a sort of resentment for nigerians. we do not know when we are going to need their help.

The French who already have 500 troops in Cote D'ivoire as we speak will be the ones involved in this country to protect their interest. Neo-Colonialism is alive and well in Cote D'ivoire. I feel sorry for the people though. This country used to have a robust economy during the tenure of Houphouët-Boigny. That man knew how to keep that nation together. He understood how the nation worked and he worked on behalf of the people no matter what tribe. They could be Christian or Muslim and he still supported them. That is why the country was peaceful during his reign. When he died, the country started to spiral into chaos.

Deception at its best!
F.u.cking C.U.NT!

* why not invade ota farm, ibb villa minna, Atiku house in ganye? ?

* why not invade bayelsa,borno,bauchi and gombe? ? Stronghold boka haram and militants

*the militant camps are still fully operation why not invade them??




. . . . . This is what you get when you have coward as a president. Ode lasun lasun, eni ti o ni opolo.

he should not send troope, the international community  should have send someone to see gbogbo and do a recount.  there are nearly 0.8 million yorubas living in ivory coast. gbogbo has used 10 years.

so it is important that lifes do not get wasted. the issue is comfortation with gbogbo would lead to only a civil war, because his ethnics group believe in gbogbo. gbogbo is like mandela to his ethnics group. the international community want to be careful the way they handle this.

Ivory coast has its problem. one issue they have also is that the people of the south support for gbogbo because  Alassane Outtara claim he was going to remain in Yamoussoukro  and not Abidjan. Which is a big issue for the people of the south.

Houphouët-Boigny move the capital to his place of birth Yamoussoukro, which many of the southerner disagree with.

Alassane Outtara says he would only use Yamoussoukro  . Which the southerner say No way.  90% of the revenue of ivory coast is produced by  southerners.  And they would resist any attempt to return the capital to Yamoussoukro.  Alassane Outtara is also seen by some people in ivory coast as non citizen.  this are issue the international community need to look at, which draw passion in Gbogbo movement.

The need to assure most of them Alassane Outtara is a citizen and the issue of the capital. if he continue to say he would have it in Yamoussoukro, the issue would never be resolve.

By putting too much pressure on gbogbo, he has gone to block the road. What the international community should do is send the church to gbogbo to allow for recount of the vote. there have to be recount, if someone strongly believe he won. The only way to make him happy is recount. the more time you waste in doing recount the more difficult it becomes. gbogbo has used 10 years

Ivory Coast needs to be invaded. We can't have blood suckers like Gbagbo running around like it is normal. It isn't.

@beaf,
sometimes i wonder what is wrong with your sense of reasoning. what crime did gbagbo commit? who is jonathan to call gbagbo corrupt? how did jonathan come to power? is what gbagbo doing different from the situation in nigeria? ivory coast voted but we did not vote in 2007 and it is that show of shame that brougth jonathan to power and the lost of ddc machines at our airport is another step towards the reapetition of 2007. come to think of it, ivory coast has steady power supply which we do not have. they have security that we lack. they have a more stable economy against the uncontrollable system we have here.
in abidjan, i paid for house rent for my cousin in 2005 and till earlier this year when i was there, the price is still the same.
what moral justification does jonathan have to talk about corruption in another country when nigeria is the headqauter of corruption in the world.
half of the population of abidjan are nigerians who ran out of this country to abidjan for greener pastures. many of our families today are depending on their children who are in abroad(abidjan). jonathan if he knows his ways to progress, shld concentrate more on making nigeria a place to be so that nigerians arround the world and africa will begin to come back.
when it comes to corruption, ivory coast is a saint compared to this jonathan led administration.

Dude, you're a known fool so no point attempting to reason with you. Lets just preempt you by saying Obasanjo caused the Ivorian problem.
Please do not reply any of my posts if you have only foolishness to post; I really hate overt displays of stupidity and ignorance.

@beaf,
i understand ur frustrations. what else can u do when u lack information. u always try to get involved in discussions but what information do u have at your disposal?
u are asking that jonathan invade ivory coast, bayelsa home state of jonathan is in turmoil. chevron oil pipelines has just been attacked and shut down. boko haram disturbing the north. what are the bases on which jonathan can seek for peace in other countries when our country is more vulnerable than those fighting wars?
our elections are one of the worst in the history of man.
the most recent was in imo state where pdp won 27 out 27 local govt chairman seats, 300 out of 300 councellorship wards. if anyone needs to be invaded, it is nigeria.
look at nigeria, abia state is owned and controlled by orji uzor kalu while lagos is owned and controlled by tinubu. ohakim is doing his things in imo state with the FG backing as we saw in chris uba's madness in anambra state.
the other day, over 150 ppl were slaughtered in niger delta. do u think we are doing well as a country.
if jonathan is not worried with the state of nigeria, then he must be made in china.
jonathan shld be a worried president who sleeps with one eye as he thinks ways forward rather than thinking ivory coast.
obasanjo a yorubaman had 8 yrs as president of nigeria and gave way for an hausaman who was to do 8yrs. today, jonathan is standing between the peaceful arrangements that will see the post of presidency pass round all the hooks and croonies of this country in the name of zoning.
if jonathan succeds in destroying this zoning, what is the fate of the minorities? without rigging, how can everyother part of nigeria benefit from rulling?
these same groups that are saying no to zoning today will be the same group to say the hausas have colonised the leadership of this country.
history will remember jonathan for the consequencies of all these selfish moves.

Like I said, you are a fool. You have no idea of the problems in Ivory Coast, yet feel you must butt in with your fish sellers tales. Its a level of idiocy thats just infuriating and not worth engaging.
I have spent the whole day lamenting the sort of low IQ's that are common in this section. Why should idiots be allowed to comment in the politics section?

What you need is a mechanic or carpenter to nail a new brain in your head, cos di one wen de deh don knock!

Talk about things you know, this isn't a fish market. Also, please engage those at your level, cos you only irritate those who know more than you.

unfortunately i have a business in ivory coast as we speak. i spent 8 months in abidjan till march 24th of this year when i left. i shld be in abidjan if not for one thing or the other.
abidjan is an european city compared to what we have here. they have 100% night live which nigeria lacks as a result of insecurity as informed by darkness.
quattara is of the northern side and it is believed that the northern part is made up of visitors especially those from burkina faso and mali and the are popularly known as the jula ppl.
on the election, they were announcing the result when a pro gbagbo who saw that it was not going their way and went out to destroy the result. un believed the result they have favoured quattara but were waiting for the official result when gbagbo used his own machineries to declare himself winner and swore him in.
the arguement of the gbagbo's men which was even aired on CNN is that the constitution of ivory coast says that for any result to be authentic, it must have the signature of the president which the first result lacked. well, it is not my business to lecture u on the situation but all am saying is that in any situation, jonathan is a product of shallow selection and has no moral justification to speak peace in the situation in ivory coast.
for jonathan to be qualified to talk in that situation, he must first of all resign his position and appologise to nigerians otherwise, he shld accept anythin g from ivory coast because they are just birds of a feather.
a blind man is not allowed to lead a blind man else they fall into a ditch.
it is a culture in africa for rulers to get to their targets via a DO OR DIE AFFAIR(obasanjo).
gbagbo himself knows jonathan more than u and i and that is why he is even not looking at them as serious ppl.
where were u when african leaders acted in the situation in zimbabwe? mugabe told them how each and everyone of them got to power including our own obasanjo.
in togo, they cld only ask them to go back for election which the same man won. so tell me how active ur corrupt jonathan and his fellow african leaders are in fighting corruption.
for ur information, no country of this african is loosing more funds and resources to corruption than nigeria.
we are living in darkness so seeing is a very big problem in darkness.
my dear, u have nothing to offer in sensitive issues and as long as you are concerned, i am an authority hence i stand a mile clear to lecture u anyday anytime.

I think another 8 people were killed in Jos yesterday, I think Jonathan should concentrate on resolving that more than anything.

You only reinforce the fact that you are a dunce by making wild claims. How can anybody who has even a passing interest in Ivory Coast talk about [b]q[/b]ua[b]tt[/b]ara? What the fck is "quattara?"

Dimwit, I repeat, do not involve my name in any airing of your jankara market arguments. Stick to the things a market trader would know and can cope with, like the price of meat, fish etc.

a man whose house is on fire never go chassing rats. nigeria is loosing more lives in our peacefulness that the war threatened ivory coast.
i think jonathan can only find a way of bringing out thousands of stranded nigerians in ivory coast than this noise of invading them.
jonathan shld invade those who are bursting our pipelines on daily basis.
if jonathan cannot bring peace and lasting solutions of this troubled country, what business does he have in another country.

In jail or as a free man?

@beaf,
with my age, i have come to terms that jails are mearnt for human beings not goats so might i find myself in a jail one day, i will not be surprised. many great men of this world have gone through jails. wether in jail or outside jail, bear it in mind that i know ivory coast more than u do and i stand a better chance to lecture on the country.
sometimes, pray that u have the opportunity of visiting some of these countries arround and only then will u begin to understand that what we have here is nothing but a jungle not a country.
find out from anyone in ivory coast, 2009, the price of petrolium was increased with something arround N2 and they refused. they protested till the ministers there asked that govt deduct the increase from their salaries.
a brand of beer there is called drogba bcs didier drogba paid for subsidy when they increased  the price of the beer bcs the ppl protested. such is the position and situation in the country.
if there is any difference between gbagbo and jonathan, it is only in the area of independence as one is a man of his own while the other is a dependant.
Alassane Ouattara is the full name and since wrong spelling is all u cld hold on to, it is now obvious u live an idealistic life while i am practical to it.
go and source information before u get involved in topics here bcs there are a lot of well informed folks here.

we should know that ivading ivory coast is an expensive adventure and GEJ should be careful as his involvement is already generating tension As Our Embassy was attacked yesterda y

Ivory Coast is not MEND or boko haram. We r talking of a nation wt functional infrastructures n services. She's no failed state. U don't talk about invasion of such unless u r an ultra super power.

By d way, y d use of word 'INVASION'? Y would Nigeria want to invade Cote d'Ivore? Is she a rogue state? Has she commited an act of aggression amounting to act of war towards Nigeria or any of our ally states? Isn't Cote d'Ivoire's problem internal? I think its incorrect and mischievous to suggest invasion.

There r other international diplomatic mechanisms dt can b applied to force Gbagbo out of power, invasion is definitely out of it. D closest is to reinforce d UN troops in Abidjan alongside d French foreign legion on ground to contain Gbagbo's military adventures.

@ Beaf,

I think u r wrong to attack 1025 from his first post. If ur substance of disagreement wt him is on ds thread, I think u need to stand down and probably apologize as he has been very logical, accurate and proper wt his words towards u. If it is over some other issue, na una sabi.

A country that is planning to borrow $1.5 billion dollars emergency loan due to her wanton and reckless depletion of her foreign reserve wants to invade another country, are they really serious.

Having said that some unpopular leaders in the past([[/b]b]General Galteri of Argentina of the Falkland War comes to mind, and of course Adolf Hitler of Germany) they have used foreign policy to boost their ratings in their country especially when they are experiencing a flagging and downward spiral in the poll like Jonathan
