If Igbo's cannot feed themselves when Nigeria blocked food from going to Biafra during the war, how can they feed themselves now that they are calling for another Biafra?

My point is that, before ever dreaming of Biafra, Igbo should think of how to provide food for themselves.

Don't be blinded by hate and sentiments.

So about 50,000 men ate all the food meant for millions of people? Smh.

Having followed certain trends, the following was observed, and details have been forwarded to the relevant agencies, but read this as a piece of information


Even the world's best democracies will never dare this sort of comments.

This is not freedom of speech but direct breeding of treasonous brigandage, felony and an indicator to homicide tendencies...if these people are allowed to grow up this way...I fear for the future.

I trust colleagues in the DSS to fish these boys out and do a thorough job immediately.
See the quotes below referring to the president of the country.

1. *Emekkeke 080****8865
2. *Andretene 081****3247

Aside the fact that they have broken almost all NL rules and keep creating new accounts to disguise, Press freedom is not an avenue to spread hate, incite others and display open brigandage...these boys will be scape goats

Bros. Besides the guy soliciting gay stuff they haven't broken any laws. Nigeria isn't a police state and never will be again.

What need to happen is for both ethnic groups to be in different countries. Every and any other solution is cosmetics!

The think tank did not think well. I can't believe they said Dr Ariyo "allegedly"made hate/racist statements. Smh

Damn!

They have convinced Buhari to reverse privatisation of power so their companies that lost out from buying the Discos under GEJ can now benefit

UNPOPULARIZING TERROR - I. DURUMBA

Like every patriotic Nigerian, I've been reading the progress of the military in the North East with pure delight. At last, the tide has turned against the bloodsuckers.

Monguno, Marte and several other communities have been recovered from the Islamists and Airforce jets have been pounding insurgent locations in Sambisa Forest while ground forces are reported to be making sweeps killing hundreds of the vampires.

Nothing can be more delightful to hear!

However, there seems a group of folks on social media who don't seem very pleased at the turn of events. They're those who over the months of the bloody insurgency, have deliberately or unwittingly turned themselves to transmitting stations for insurgency news by gleefully broadcasting news of terrorist successes and of course, using the opportunity to curse at the govt. They are those who keyed into the bloodshed to make political points that promote their prejudices and strike at their political foes.

While I've also heartily cursed at govt's embarrassing helplessness at stopping the carnage in the NorthWest in many of my posts, I drew a line somewhere. I blatantly refused to be a mouthpiece for terrorists by largely blanking their activities from my wall. I refused to make my Facebook wall available to boost news of killers' activities. My conscience absolutely refused to be used willingly or unwillingly to irresponsibly propagate terrorism.

For those who have made a daily meal of exulting in terrorist activities in a bid to appear 'sympathetic' and more pained at the bloodshed than others, I'm asking a question this evening...

If your motives at broadcasting a daily diet of terror was for purely patriotic and sympathetic purposes, have you equally broadcast the successes of the military the same way to let people know that the military have liberated those communities you claim are so dear to your heart?
With the same glee with which you announce terrorist successes, have you also announced the freeing of your beloved communities from the clutches of terrorists?

Let your conscience judge you!

LFJ:
Is that person not better than Mr. stealing is not corruption you want us to vote for?

I have to wrap my thoughts around the controversy regarding "stealing is not corruption". Did the president say stealing was allowed?

Attached below is a bribe list purportedly from a support group of the GEJ/SAMBO campaign doling out millions to Muslim Clerics in Kaduna State for buying their conscience and continuous support of GEJ reelection.

If therefore you see people singing like birds and flip flopping like lost souls you should understand their plights.

there is enough money to give every Nigerian a Million Naira with the kind of monies the country earned in the last 8 years.

See list below.

Maybe APC lost out in the spending game and that's why their hatchetmen are porting kirikata kirikata like Saka this extension period. Abi you wan talk say na only PDP dey engage hacks

anonimi:
Thanks for putting this so well.

The earlier WE hold our 36 state governors and 774 LGA chairmen accountable to us rather than wait for the federal government to make them accountable, the better for us all.

Shikena! The states are getting away with total incompetence while we are blaming a president because its more convenient than walking into your local govt council office to demand performance

VolvoS60:
^^^^
I am proud to say that I have been a virulent critic of the OBJ administration from day 1. My posting history proves this.

Nothing would give me greater joy than to see both Messrs OBJ and GEJ in the dock answering hard questions from the people of this Republic. I haven't mentioned Mr. Yaradua, (the third member of the triad) only because he is deceased and thus cannot answer any questions.

I understand Mr. OBJ has hatchet men on here who try to whitewash the sepulchre that was his administration. You can rest assured that I am not one of such men.

You say the essence of the article is to establish OBJ's culpability in GEJ's current travails. That may well be true. But those of us ordinary Nigerians on the receiving end of both men's failed governments reserve the right to hold them responsible and denounce them all for their failure. At all times and in whichever medium is available. Including our responses to articles written by Mr. Dikko and any other Nigerian.

The last sentence in your post is deeply troubling. It weakens the resolve of battered, demoralized Nigerians to hold their leaders accountable. You have made an unnecessary distinction between the OBJ administration's mindblowing corruption and that of the GEJ administration. Whose interests will such a distinction serve? As I write this, the GEJ administration is yet to make public the PwC report for Nigerians to see. Make of that what you will.

In the end, we all bleed red.

I respect your opinion but I disagree with your submission.

My last paragraph should not weaken any critic of GEJ, I believe its necessary to draw a line. I am highlighting the failure that is Obj and asking for a crystal clear exposition of any scandal or case of theft in this administration an how they measure up to the cankerworm and beastly glory of Obj. Is that too much to ask? Regarding the PWC report I am sure an opposition that has no problem obtaining top secret letters between the CBN governor and the C in C should have no wahala using the FOI bill to get a copy if it will be of political value to them.

GEJ bashing is a national sport but let's extricate emotion from our analysis.

VolvoS60:
Fair points made by Mr. Dikko. But his analysis is incomplete.

The problem with the GEJ administration is that in essence, it is no different from the old order which needs to be supplanted and which we have been repeatedly told it will supplant.

In Mr. Dikko's piece - as is common with those who support GEJ - the man's modest achievements are loudly promoted while his gravely serious failings are ignored. That is no way to carry out an honest assessment. The choice before GEJ after 2011 was clear: do something radical about corruption in Nigeria and gain mass appeal/popular support OR maintain the status quo while pretending to transform the way the Nigerian project is being run.

He chose the latter option and he is facing the consequences of that choice. To use the jargon of bank currency dealers: the market has moved against him.

It doesn't look good.

I beg to disagree with you bros.

The essence of this article is to establish the fact that Obasanjo is responsible for whatever ailment Jonathan is battling to rid Nigeria of today and had no moral right to criticise an incumbent who has spent under 5 years.

It was under Obj's ample nostrils that Bin Laden distributed money to some jihadist groups in West Africa in 2002 including Boko Haram, it was under Obj and his demonic privatisation regime that government agencies started selling scratch cards for recruitment, under Obj that $16 Billion was spent on power.

As for corruption, if you can withstand all the propaganda and analyse without emotion, has GEJ's administration been involved in any koro koro case of theft like Obj's Halliburton bribe scandal?

Who will ask Obasanjo to shut up?

I promised to shut up and take a long break but since I had asked Obasanjo to disappear and he won’t, I thought I should dart in with some justification as to why he really ought to be told to shut up and disappear, and, for me, personally, also to say to him: you can’t fool me. It is a slightly revised version of a comment I offered in another discussion. It should explain itself.

Thanks for sharing Dan Agbese’s 2000 article about Haroun Adamu’s probe of the Petroleum Trust Fund. It seems that people are digging.

Buhari didn’t run the PTF. He left it to somebody who allegedly came from his circle of friends and family, and went to sleep. It was alleged to have been run just like any old inept Nigerian government venture. No difference whatsoever. Its officials allegedly took bribes, awarded overinflated contracts and the like. As a result, one of the men on the board of the PTF, the late Group Captain Usman Jibrin, who would have none of it, decided to resign. Buhari stayed put.

I also see you paying attention to Obasanjo’s self-serving talk. Not many are seeing the self-serving disposition right now but it is to the credit of Jonathan that he has actually grown the balls to refuse to continue to take dictation from him. If truth be told, it is easier to point to where Jonathan has spent money in his four+ years than it is to show what Obasanjo did in his first term.

Let us be concrete. Obasanjo faced turbulence, Sharia riots, Odi. Obasanjo failed to punish the perpetrators of the Sharia riots, that served to embolden others including the Haramites; he was high-handed in dealing with Odi, that served to further militarise.

Jonathan has had to deal with the consequences of Obasanjo’s failures in addition to the BH which is now a problem with a serious destabilizing foreign dimension. This has provided a very tough environment for government.

Worse still owing to the circumstances in which he came into office and the sense of betrayal felt by the many northerners who consider their turn to rule as having been hijacked, as well as his failure to properly reach out to the disgruntled, he has been unable to win the confidence and support of influential sections of the North.

This failure is what I foresaw in 2011, and warned that it could lead to division. That North is also suffering from another problem which is a direct consequence of the Babangida privatisation programme which was accelerated and completed by Obasanjo.

I have a problem with the privatisation of vital social services but that is irrelevant here. Recall the old days. There was a time when people looked forward to Board appointments, First Bank, NITEL and the whole battery of other huge government owned enterprises.

Membership of those boards afforded people the opportunity to use their influence to serve the interests of their immediate communities, and because of the Federal Character principle, this patronage was widely spread but always what were seen to be the choicest positions were invariably occupied by northerners.

Federal Character also ensured that there was a spread of offices of those companies occupied by local employees thoughout the country. That disappeared completely under Obasanjo. The persons who bought the privatised companies were mainly persons from outside the North, ditto those who stepped up to fill the vacuum created by the disappearance of NITEL who have only been driven by market considerations which cannot overlook employee competence.

It’s not been noticed by many but the handful of companies bought by northerners, like Nigerian Ropes and Steyr, have floundered or have been comatose since they acquired them. For a North used to widescale patronage, it has been hard to deal with new realities, which is why so many there are intent on doing whatever they can to ensure a return to the old comfort.

One new reality from which there is no escaping is that Jonathan has actually shown a commitment to making and fulfilling promises which is why he has been running for re-election on his record, something which Obasanjo did not do in 2003.Obasanjo could not have done so. He built a stadium in Abuja, and its Games Village. That’s it.

He channeled a lot of money to power generation. The rest of the time, Obasanjo was away from his desk on extended visits abroad. He left Atiku to run the government. Obasanjo and Atiku were later to build their own private schools and universities.

By contrast, Jonathan has built new government schools and universities; built a major new railway line, Kaduna-Abuja, for the first time in a hundred years; built a road between Abuja and Lokoja that is the finest in the country; is building a metro line in Abuja; empowerd Innoson Motors of Nnewi to manufacture transport buses that are visible on our highways. All these are things he committed to doing in the aftermath of the oil subsidy saga, and he has managed to do them despite the major challenge of BH.

I have not dismissed the view that aspects of the complex BH problem are the work of persons working to return to that which they had grown accustomed. But what’s your general take on the election campaign so far? I honestly fear it may all end up being of only “academic interest.”The stakes are very very high. There are operators with ugly records who will stop at nothing. There is trouble on the horizon. I have sent out warnings. I hope they are heeded.

after signing a non violence agreement days ago,PDP have breached the agreement by trying to incite violence.
How far can they go?

Though in bad taste, why should it incite violence?

pendy79:
The stupidity of some of you supporting PDP Is legendary and your heads need to be checked if you still have brainal matter.

You mean you're not happy that there is no riot in the north over the cartoon? Why not board a bus and go to Kano and led the charge for the riot.

4 people died in Niger but your prayers were that it should be igbo bloods so that you can convince your brothers in Owerri not to vote Buhari.

Leave igbos out of your simple minded, monkeyshit political nonsense.

GEJ has done more for SW and North in general than SE. If he doesn't win and make some impact there the PDP will be finshed in the SE for decades

docadams:
Being a product of this lazy generation does not prevent you from being an exception by using that phone of yours to search the internet for information

en.m.wikipedia.org/wikipedia.Maitatsine
www.jstor.org/stable/1580874
www.daily trust.com.ng/...43060

On the issue of arm purchase a lot has been said and facts given that any further expantiation will amount to verbosity.

What kind of lazy, empty, chickenshit rebuttal is this? Was maitatsine armed or anywhere the level of boko haram?

If you really want to lock intellectual horns learn to copy and paste links properly

barcanista:
Clearly, you need to read about Maitatsine of the 80s or ask Alex Ekweme, he was VP to Shehu Shagari

So you are saying that maitatsine had guns like Boko Haram. Which kain small pikin yarn be this At least you no try lie say Buhari be Head of State during the maitatsine riots (not insurgency). Shagari was in charge.

deji68:
make u know mind them Maitatsine that were using bows and arrows back then

Lol. Not even 'cock and shoot'.

barcanista:
What is your point @OP? He received delievery and he fought Maitatsine to standstill within few months. The President on the other-hand spent trilions on the Military yet BH has been growing from strength to strength since September 2010, killing over 23,000 Nigerians, kidnapping over 500 and gaining part of our territory. We need result Sir!!!!

Maitatsine did not have rifles, anti-aircraft guns, HMGs, SUVs and plenty of assistance from saboteurs in the armed forces and foreign big bros terrorist groups. Let's not forget the plenty dollars $$$ that Al Qaeda donated to boko haram 2002 under Obasanjo's nose.

Wetin be maitatsine?

During my search for other primary evidence on this
matter, I stumbled on a case with a suit number
FHC/ABJ/M/340/06, filed on August 21, 2007 at the
Federal High Court, Abuja. As indicated in this file,
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu’s -led EFCC named Mrs.
Patience Jonathan, wife of Goodluck Jonathan, as an
accomplice in the N104million money laundering
case involving one Mrs. Nancy Ebere Nwosu. The
amount in question was stated in this file to be
laundered on the order of Mrs Patience Goodluck into
a First Bank of Nigeria account number
3292010060711 held in the name of Nansolyvan
Public Relations Limited by one Hanner Offor.
Still not satisfied with this new primary source on
the issue at hand, further effort was exerted to dig
into the archive. Again, we (with help from an NGO)
stumbled on the EFFC’s affidavit used in supporting
the above mentioned suit’s originating summons.
In this document, Ofem Uket, the then EFCC
prosecuting officer declared, “Our investigations
revealed that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, wife of the
Governor of Bayelsa State, was the person who
instructed one Hanner Offor to launder the said sum
of N104, 000, 000 into the account of Nansolyvan
Public Relations Limited with First Bank of Nigeria
Plc (FBN), Niger House, Marina, Lagos”.
To further establish the veracity of this discovery, I
was forced to search for a court ruling on this
matter. Findings revealed that on August 22, 2006,
Justice Anwuli Chikere who then was at the Federal
High Court, Abuja presided over the EFCC’s
application on this case and ruled that, “leave is
hereby granted to the Executive Chairman of the
EFCC to … freeze the bank accounts of the persons
referred to as the account holders pending the
conclusion of the investigation of the activities of
the said persons in connection with their
involvement in the acts of money laundering and
other economic and financial crimes related
offences.”
Given that the combined use of both primary and
secondary sources is needed to make a reliable
historical narration, effort was also directed at
newspaper reports of this suit and judgement.
Among many others, in its September 11, 2006
edition, a story under the caption,”EFCC seizes
N104m from Bayelsa Governor’s Wife” featured in
Punch newspaper. The news item was put together
by Sam Akpe and Tobi Soniyi, Abuja.
When cross-examined with our newly found primary
sources, we observed consistency between contents
of the newly discovered primary resources on this
matter and this news reportage. It may be interesting
to produce parts of these documents which highlight
how EFCC arrived at the conclusion that the
laundered money in question involved Jonathan and
Madam Patience.


http://newafricanpress.com/2011/09/07/circle-of-lies-goodluck-and-patience-jonathan-burden-of-history/

Ok the EFCC counsel declared in court that PEJ ordered someone to launder money. What evidence did the counsel tender to back it up? That should be crux of the matter.

Yorubas moved for independence, resisted Abacha, lost families and wives. June 12 was Yoruba, all political radicals in the south, Gani Fawehinmi, Fela, Falana, Wole Soyinka, Tai Solarin were Yorubas. In the South in terms of radicalism we also had Ijaws like Adaka Boro, Saro Wiwa, even this misguided Asari Dokubo and the now corrupt Tom Polo have been resisters.
Kindly furnish me any other southern tribes apart from Yoruba and Ijaw who have resisted the establishment in Nigeria?.
I need you to mention any Ibos who have ever done this?.

If you say Nzeogwu, I will educate you by saying Nzeogwu was essentially a Hausa radical officer, the troops he used to kill Sardauna were all Hausa troops which reinforces all I have been saying against those who think Hausa Fulani people are dumb followers of aristocrats.
So in all these radical political movements in Nigeria where we're the Ibos?. I will tell you where they were, they were trading and making money.

I am not aware that June 12 was a Yoruba thing. I am also sure that the likes of Dr Alex Ekwueme, Olisa Agbakoba, Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Late Comrade Chima Ubani, Late Polycarp Nwite and lots of other igbo heroes who fought for June 12/Abacha did not know it was a yoruba thing. Maybe they wouldn't have risked their lives.

I guess they thought it was a nigerian thing.

Kwa kwa kwa! Obj really knows how to smack you right in the balls.

Pa Eziachi - I don want to be part of a nigeria where ppl from the north can casually refer to the president as 'drunk' and "corrupt" but we should be mindful of genuinely questioning the qualifications of a northern presidential candidate?

barcanista:
Is this a new trend? I have noticed that clueless trolls from romance section are flooding politics section with shallow and lame threads and supported by fellow TANists. What point is the op mmaking? Are we saying the elections of Ekiti and Osun was free and fair when party chieftains or APC were harrassed and humiliated at every stage of the election? Or was the beating of judges democratic? The OP clearly lack insight of what free and fair contest is. Calling critics of Jonathan APC members is another low by the TANist op. Shamefully, he agreed that Jonathan was indeed clueless in his startup. Shame to TANists. Nigerians are wise

Abeg park well.

Most of these romance section posters make 1000 more sense than you who shamelessly argued for 19 pages trying to "intelligently" prove that a tribunal's opening address was the same thing as a tribunal final report.

APC should only be worried about the clown committing suicide after missing out on the VP slot. To be honest, the non-selection of amaechi really softened my attitude towards the buhari candidacy. Now I am actually having to think about who I will vote next month.

Lol! But jokes apart the whip on the shoulder is disrespectful. Abi the mai guard no sabi Prof Osinbajo level again because he dey wear cap and t-shirt

superstar1:
Apologies for the name calling. I hardly call people names till they start it first.

Back to the topic, I am asking 1 out of hoe many is non-igbo? Just 1.

Is 1 greater than 9? The only place in the whole universe where 1 could be greater than 9 is in PDP-matics.

Have you read Wale Ademoyega's take on whether the coup was tribal or not? Go read and come back bros.

tomakint:
Yeah I think the moniker has been deactivated hence the caption, 'blessed memory' and while dayokanu was active in this section despite his highly combustible bigotry and tribalism leanings, he still know his onions on political matters. Literarily, dayokanu is alive and kicking

Dayokanu's was an embarrassing plague of bitterness, racism and confident boneheaded stupidity.

Babyosisi was the reason he stopped posting with that moniker after a series of brutal arze whoopings.

mensdept:
This is why people should start thinking critically.

Buhari is part of the scheme to defraud Nigeria the more. That is why any serious opposition is infiltrated/hijacked by Buhari, therefore denying any serious change to the status quo. Thats why you see him automatically becoming flag bearer after flag bearer to pretend to run as President.
Think folks

I disagree with you slightly. In elections past buhari ran for president on an honest agenda. This time around his supposed incorruptible candidacy has been hijacked by a clique that is OPPOSED to the change being touted.

The same clique consisting of corrupt ppl like el-rufai who couldn't stand him a few years ago.
