Chai my brother Kanu, mtcheww these Fulanis will finish you…

You have caused them so much pain…

To those who bash Naija for building collapses

See it can happen anywhere

I hope everyone gets out ok..

Chai Naija people dey do cocaine now??

I thought dat it was Oyinbo tin..?

Kriss216:
I have no business with Northern ventures.

Yup no one cares about that region anymore..

I can bet as the split looms between Northern and Southern Nigeria, suddenly the military will kick into life and start eliminating religious terrorists on mass. By then it will be too late mtcheww..

Yeah yeah audio president..

empty barrel making noise..

Lionessza6:
So you agree with the South Africans who are taking the law into their own hands because ,drug dealers ,fake pastors ,human traffickers etc from foreign lands like nigeria are destroying their country and the authorities arent doing their jobs ?

YES

If anyone goes to another man’s land and starts committing crimes, then they get everything the deserve.

It like those foolish Nigerians who go to Thailand to sell drugs knowing full well the Thais don’t play and have the death penalty for drug dealing. No sympathy for such people..

Likewise Fulani only have themselves to blame when it comes to the animosity coming their way. Had they been good neighbours no one would have had an issue with their presence.

But you are acting as if the Fulani and herdsmen are innocents needlessly vilified by their majority population neighbours. The herdsmen were responsible for more deaths than Boko Haram over successive years. In fact ordinary Nigerians have been very forgiving of such bad behaviour as it took years to get to this point.

We’re it not due to their compatriots in govt who turned a blind eye to such flagrant abuses things would never have gotten this bad. So as I said they only have themselves and leaders like Buhari to blame..

Lionessza6:
Do you not understand what I'm saying?If the Fulanis were being chased out of another country for the same things, Nigerian's would be screaming jealousy and hate. Are you not quick to scream " afrophobia " & " barbarism " when South africans go after your criminals when their government fails to act? . Are you not doing worse to yourselves right now in the same country? That's what I meant by Nigerian logic & hypocrisy,you're are using the same violence other nations use against you to solve your problems ,yet you will call others names but you're justifying this ?

No we wouldn’t have you not seen what happened to the Tigray in Eithiopia? Who much like the Fulani abused their position of power in politics and engaged in similar levels of ethnic nepotism.

Now they are being thrown out of positions of power across the country, everyone from Lagos, Nairobi to Cape Town is saying “they had it coming”

Likewise no one will shed a tear for the Fulani who overreached due to their greed/hubris and made themselves a very obvious target. When the day of reckoning comes, blame Buhari for your suffering.. Mtcheww

Commentor:
You are unhappy they were killed.

You again the govt zombie.. mtcheww...

Commentor:
What Boko Haram and ISWAP and bandits are not able to do in the South east, IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra) and ESN (Eastern Security Network) are very well filling in the gap. The amount of killings and destruction of government and private infrastructure in the South east along with the rounds of fatal attacks is astounding.

Not the only issue but this needs highlighting.

How you can equate a largely non violent successionist group IPOB with a proven violent terrorist outfit like Boko Haram is beyond me..

Likewise the ESN was enacted to stop attacks from herdsmen on the innocent public in the East, again isnt comparable to ISWAP which is part of an internationally known terrorist organisation.

The latter Boko Haram and ISWAP wish to create undemocratic theocratic states and will kill anyone who opposes them..

You are unashamedly a zombie..

DamnnNiggarr:

I've observed that every negative news about BIAFRA struggle goes straight to the front page but reverse is the case about the positive ones


I can bet my 2days salary the you posted this news with your alternate Monika but that's by the way.

The struggle for BIAFRA is far more bigger than you can imagine.

So if fighting for self actualization is causing great anger in the North thereby endangering the lives of the Igbos in the North, then there's something the North is not telling us.

And again, if fighting for self actualization that is going on in the East (that doesn't concern the Northerners) can endanger the life of the Igbo man in the far North, then what do we have to say about the fulanis going round the South causing havoc, can we say that they are endangering the lives of the Northerners in the South??

One of the reasons I frequent this forum less and less.

What started as a free and open forum for Nigerians to discuss their views, has now become a forum filled with govt sponsored zombies spewing pro government propaganda and very biased mods..

You cant use certain words, typically to protect northern herdsmen and some posts that are popular but either anti government or rightly against the excesses of Northerners are quietly removed..

vincentjk:
It'll shock you to know that this man ain't even ¾ rich as most northern politicians just that he has chosen to enjoy his money the right way.

Not shipping it abroad and buying useless properties in developed countries.

Oh its worse than that..

I remember being in selfridges a luxury department store in London with my mother looking at a sign, one sentence looked like arabic but the sentence below looked similar but a bit different.

A sales assistant took one look at us and proudly said " Yes, we have now included Hausa in a number of signs in the store ". I politely said thank you, but can you imagine how much Northerners are spending abroad for a major international store to notice and bother to place signs in Hausa (Ajami script) across the store!!

She later explained a number of other stores including Harrods had done the same.. Mtcheew

I have another story, met an Oyinbo man who upon finding out I was Nigerian, proudly explained how he had acquired a very desirable house in an expensive part of London apparently owned by a Nigerian prince.

If that wasnt bad enough, this prince apparently never visited or attended to the property. So this Oyinbo man somehow, got the local council to declare it abandoned. He then acquired the property and moved into it. Can you imagine!!

In my head I had no doubt some useless politician had looted money in Naija, bought a house with it in the UK. Came into hard times or had stolen so much he forgot about a perfectly good house in the UK. Wasted our money to buy it, then left it to rot.. Mtcheww ..

This is why I hate individuals like Dino Melaye and his even worse Northern compatriots.. Ole..

They should be shot on sight, I am not joking..

Zombie

The purest form of zombie, I always laugh when I see Manna's posts lol

This is all the product of endsars protests and Sanwo's reward for mowing down his own people at Lekki tollgate ( As he now gets more morning from the Federal Govt ).

Yesterday it was maternity unit and now this firestation. While I wont say no to such investment, remember that it was built with Blood money.

Also this is the kind of funding Kano, Kaduna and the whole region of Maigaduri has been receiving on the regular from this ethnically nespotistic government..

MAGG0T:
I can't weep again for this country.




Everybody should just get out

Bros, I already left..

Difrent:
We don hear , only an ibo man is right ,other are always wrong....today you will say he is dead and an imposter is in Aso rock, tomorrow you will say he is a vegetable maybe next you will blame him for your weak erection , abeg shift

That isn't what I said and bros you know better than that...

hansomb:
Not educated but ruling over you. Anybody who rules you is everything above you because he determines your destiny and choices in life or region he rules.

Two reasons

1. The broken setup of Nigeria since independence left us with a united Northern political bloc and a divided Southern bloc. This tipped the balance in the North's favour time and time again. At the same time since independence, Northern politicians redrew the geographic map of Nigerian again to favour themselves.

2. Hausa/Fulani rule because they are quick to use violence to attain their goals nothing more.. Look how they dealt with Moshood Abiola, even when he won the democratic elections in Nigeria.

Difrent:
Actually it's the Ibos that lack basic principles of democratic system. It's a democracy for goodness sake so I don't get it why all Ibos hate YORUBAS for exercising their democratic rights by voting for Buhari........while the Ibos have been behaving like sore losers since.
In a democracy the minority have their say, majority have their way
- protests is a part of democracy but in Nigeria it's only Ibos that want to protest ,they tag and call protesters opposed to their views all sort of names for exercising their democratic right to protest
- Opposition is part of democracy but ibos see opposition as enemity that's why they keep calling APC all sort of names for being a very vibrant opposition party ,a role PDP unfortunately has not been performing well

So Ibos should go and learn how to be democrats

All Igbos hate Yoruba..? So as a man with a Yoruba Mother and an Igbo Father I shouldnt exist no..

mumu, take your lies elsewhere..

Igbos were frustrated with Yoruba for failing to see the danger presented by former despot Buhari.

Were they wrong?

As he is now engaging with China, one of the most authoritarian regimes in the world to discuss how to lock down the internet (in short to curtail freedom of speech)..

We have seen increased insecurity, the shameless rise of Ethnic Nepotism and a worsening economic conditions..

Mtcheww You should be ashamed of yourself for defending the vegetable..

Difrent:
The fight and hatred is mutual now
You rejected him at the polls, thrice
You have been destabilizing his government
You want to secceed from the country


You only do this to someone you hate

So because you are rejected at the polls, you marginalise and launch attacks on a given region or population.

You sir do not understand the basic principles of a democratic system

festacman:
1. The MUTUAL suspicion and disdain between Fulani and Igbo was once more echoed by President Buhari by equating Igbo to IPOB. Of course, he knows the difference but he was just rubbing it in there.

2. By emphasizing that South South elders and youth leaders went to him 'nicodemusly' in the night to distance themselves from Biafra cause, Pres. Buhari was smartly applying the age-old principle of "divide and rule". It is a way of saying you supported and voted former Pres. Goodluck Jonathan but his South South has thrown you under the bus.
Truth be told, however, the 'divided house' stance of South South may be attributable to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's sense of self-alienation, autocracy and unilateralism. He has failed to reach out to other ethnic nationalities in the South South even as he arrogantly and unilaterally includes them in his version of map of Biafra in 2021.

3. Both Pres. Buhari and AGF Malami are fully aware that cattle ranching is the way to go but it is MYSTERIOUS why they are insisting on open grazing and even trying to apply 1960's policy in 2021 inspite of increase in population and developments that have taken place over the years. Worse still, no thoughts are seem given to the thousands of people that have been killed from herdsmen/farming communities clashes.

1. There is no mutual disdain between Fulani and Igbo. If there is any disdain, it is because the Fulani fear igbo and rightly so, because Igbos represent everything Fulani are not (industrious, hardworking, meritocratic and educated). If Igbos show any resentment to Fulani, it because they do not have any of the above values. Look at govt appointments are they done on merit?? NO. Just recently we had a president trying to justify a multi billion dollar railway with the argument he has first cousins in the neighbouring nation. Economics be damned, kinship comes first!

2. While the Fulani have indeed played divide and rule in the South. Nmandi Kanu's efforts have little to do with it. In fact it was when he successfully started reaching out to successionist groups in South under Asari Dukubo and Yoruba groups in the South West, that all of a sudden the government saw the need for Operations Python Dance and Crocodile Smile. When non violent IPOB members were shameless suffocated in muddy water by Fulani and Hausa Nigerian Army Soldiers.

3. I dont think Malami and Buhari do know that ranching is the way forward. The criticism that Igbos in particular raised about Hausa/Fulani since this nation's indpendence still stand. The Northerners in general arent progressive or educated. Why else would you waste govt coffers on a line to Niger when there are far stronger arguments of rail links in the South between the South West and Benin or South West and South East where far more economic centres are located. Nevermind threats to industrialization posed by AI and Automation. If you raised the latter issues with the dullard Buhari, that clown would draw a blank..

Come on bros be honest in your posts

QuotaSystem:
These igbo elders are not ready yet.

They keep shielding and refusing to call out ipob/esn for their murderous killing rampage, yet expect anyone to call them to the table? So the scores of officers they've killed are worthless and don't have innocent families that they've thrown into mourning? Imagine the rubbish, and to think I used to respect this woman?

As in, Buhari should succumb to the violent, murderous blackmail of Nnamdi Kanu and his horde of brainwashed zombies? Are they bloody drunk? Can you imagine these older people who should be wiser helping propagate the ipob "unknown gunmen" scam? Lol.

When they are ready we will know. Until then, but they should remember...

Temidayo9:
I disagree with you sir on the issue surrounding already disintegrated Nations that are not doing better, currently, Nigeria happen to be the only country in the world that is being govern with lies from its leaders just like what you posted above,
Nigeria is not 1, and we can never be , this is the hard truth we need to say to ourself.
And more also, South Sudan is far more better than Nigeria of today.

Han Chinese Singapore was thrown out of union with Malaysia and prospered significantly. I have no doubt South Nigeria or Oduduwa and Biafra republics would prosper without the North..

If even OBJ is questioning the union, Nigeria is finished..

nigerianrevolut:
Perfectly normal. They are divorced not enemies. That is how our relationship with the North will remain cordial even after we raise the SOUTH NIGERIA flag.

Exactly I love this... We may no longer be together but we can be friends

No s@#t sherlock..

Beancounter93:
The British also did the same divide and rule in many of their colonies(with the same stereoptyping...remnants of which can be seen in the British Army's Gurkha units today), yet some of these colonies are more developed than Nigeria because some of them decided to depend on a little industrialization ...that produces goods for export.

You can find a lot of those stereotypes in Malaysia , India, South Africa even countries like the US and the Canada.

Yet these countries are far more developed than Nigeria because they don't see their economy as a national cake to be shared.(India is very poor,but they do have an industrial sector that exports and they also have an advanced sci-tech sector. And they are as tribally and religiously divided as Nigerians...)

They honestly realize they don't have enough resources and work from there.

My annoyance with Nigerians is that they are.far more interested in sharing money than they are in actual productivity and are ready to use anything including religion and threat of secession to get what they want.

And until we wake up to the reality that there is no national cake and that an economy reliant on selling oil is a recipe for disaster, we are going to remain underdeveloped

There are many African countries that are as underdeveloped as Nigeria. And most of them don't have Hausa Yoruba and Igbo in their borders

South Africa is just as mutliethinc and divided along tribal and racial as Nigeria. Yet Azania is far more developed because they have something we don't.A partially industrial economy....that exports...which they use to supplement funds from the raw materials they do sell.

So let is stop all.these tribal tales by moonlight. THE BRITISH left us decades ago yet we cannot move on from the 1960s. All we do is argue over how we share money.

I am sorry my friend, you cannot gloss over clear cultural differences as mere stereotypes..

Stereotypes also exist for a reason as there is some truth to them. The fact that the Hausa/Fulani presence is negligible abroad isnt conjecture it is fact.

The fact that the diaspora is made up of predominantly of Yoruba and Igbo, however unpleasant it is to you, is borne out by data meticulously collected by western societies..

You mistakenly mentioned India but compared to Pakistan and Bangladesh clear divides are apparent. Indians are far more successful than their compatriots in the west. Pakistanis lag behind Indians socioeconomically in England and the United States. That isnt a coincidence.. In fact Indians realised early on that they needed to rid themselves of muslims to progress, which is why they agreed on a painful and violent partition. They were better for it and never looked back. If a Southern Nigeria were to emerge, I have no doubt there would at times be friction between igbos and yoruba, but much as in the same ways Gujaratis dont always get along with Tamils, they could co-exist non violently. That is the point I am making and you obviously didnt know enough about Indian history to realise your mistake when quoting them as an example..

You also mentioned Malaysia, where native muslim malays expelled han chinese dominated Singapore from their union. We all know how that worked out. Singapore became an economic powerhouse and Malaysia by comparison an economic laggard. That it had to implement discriminatory legislation Bumiputera 'sons of the soil' rules to allow lazy malays to compete against their Indian and Chinese countrymen.

What unites Malays, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis , Fulani and Hausa? I think you already know the answer as much as you would like to ignore it.

Google the GDP per capita of Singapore vs Malaysia

Google the GDP per capita of India vs Pakistan or Bangladesh

Google average incomes in Southern Nigeria vs Northern Nigeria..

In all cases, non muslim regions have better economic fundamentals than muslim ones..

As I said, the situation is untenable in the context or Nigeria. Either power must be handed over to the more progressive population or we should go our separate ways. I have little no concern about who will be worse off if Nigeria breaks up..

As for the fictional nation of Azani, my conversations are based in economic reality not soundbites and dismissals that everything is merely stereotypes..

Finally Nigeria, has attempted to industrialise a number of times.. Who insisted on moving the capital from Lagos to Abuja. Then subsequently starved the most industrialised region of the country of capital Northerners.

Who is at the forefront of African startups in Yaba, Yoruba.

Whos is at the forefront of manufacturing in Nnewi, Igbos working at Innoson in The South East.

Who built the largest indigenous banking system in Africa, Igbos.

What have the Hausa or Fulani contributed by comparison? Beyond regressive development stats, banditry and terrorism? You can be evasive as much as you like the truth is always the truth..

I would suggest you read some Thomas Sowell, particularly his book 'Race'. As well as 'The Arabs' by Eugene Rogan on the Arab history and the Muslim world.. Then you might have a better understanding of my position..

Beancounter93:
Nigeria is not developed not because of Hausa or FUlani or Igbo or Yourba

Nigeria is underdeveloped because we are a resource dependent nation

Successful nations like CHina, Japan, Germany, etc...rely on exporting industrial goods...ie goods whose prices they can set and control.

Nigeria, on the other hand has always relied on expoirting raw materails whose prices we cannot control...they are always controlled in London , New York and Paris. In the good old days, it was agriculture, now it is oil.

When the prices go down below sustenance level...we end up in economic crisis. When the prices go up...we have a 'good' but still sick economy

Plus we use the revenue...not to boost our industrial productivity, but as the basis of sharing money...which is why there is so much argument over federal appointments.

Nigeria needs to change its economic paradigm, but since this involves hard choices...like saving more often, removing subsides, encoruaging technical and vocational education, cutting the over bloated civil service....Nigerians don't want that.

That is why whoever becomes president of Nigeria is bound to fail...unless they are ready to take us away from a sharing naitonal cake economy to a productive economy. But Nigerians don't want that.

No No and NO

Nigeria is underdeveloped precisely because of its multi ethnic character..

The British themselves recognised the differences between the core regions of Nigeria.

That the Igbo were largely democratic in character and highly individualistic. The British generally viewed Igbos with suspicion because of this and acknowledged while they were a capable people, increasingly the most advanced, they would be difficult to control.

The Yoruba were viewed as somewhere in the middle, hierarchical with a Feudal system of Obas (Kings) and Chiefs. They could be bought off with titles and money

The latter Arewa, were viewed as perfect proxies to rule through, as they were highly hierarchial to the point of faith and questioned little that came from a political authority whose power was absolute. This was down to the rigid emirate political system of the then sokoto caliphate.

The British understood these differences and exploited them, which I why post independence a region which was the most backward socio-economically was left with dominance in the political system. This anomally has played itself out repeatedly throughout Nigerian history. With educated Southerners doing their best to stamp out the worse excess of Northern leadership, which is largely selected by nepotism and kinship ties than by meritocracy.

This is the reverse of how Igbos operate who value individual agency and skill over anything else. It is the reason why Igbos have been a successful diaspora in the west, where as Hausa/Fulanis often flounder in the west and typically return back to Nigeria.

The South in general values education and hardwork, which is why it records higher income levels and literacy than the north. The north, if the group Boko Haram (which loosely means Western Education is forbidden), values tradition and Islam over progressive western values

That much is obvious given the lower level of economic development, which would have been even worse without oil subsidies from the south. Higher levels of illiteracy, child poverty and shocking levels of pregnancies at a very young age amongst the female population.

Nigeria at this juncture has two choice, either the reins of power should be handed over to more educated and progressive southerners or the regions like the South should be allowed to succede as the current structure is untenable. Whether that is as a Federal republic of Southern Nigeria by referendum or as separate smaller states like the Odudwa Republic and Biafra for example.

The north wont allow this because if near neighbours populated with even more of their kin like Chad and Niger are anything to go by, for them it would be economically disastrous. Hence we have the messy forced union which we can observe today.

Wow a supposedly democratic nation with freedom of speech is seeking help from one of the most authoritarian regimes in the world.

Well to the clowns who voted in former despot Buhari, you reap what you have sown...

You wanted change, now you have it with a Fulani Iron Fist...

The problem with the senate salary structure is that the legal power to approve the salary sturcutre is in the hands of.....the same senate.

During GEJ's time, RMAFC released a 'sensible' salary structure for senators and reps. Guess what happened when the thing was passed to NA for approval....

The law has to be changed...but that is in the hands of.....the same senate.




Very true, (I used to live near one of the projects that was supposed to be funded...and just ended up being one beautiful signpost....)but to be fair, we needed far more than that 16 billion to get power working 24/7. .




Very true, and that is one thing his fans either try to excuse, forget, or hide, or pretend that it is not important.

But in fairness to the man, a large chunk of that loss was due to massive spending on subsidies on petrol...which with the inherent corruption in that thing...plus the mass importation..
There is a reason why subsidy has to go.



True...but Bubu has been in power since 2015...he should have, could have , must needs raise ideas to deal with BOKO/ISWAP.




Slight correction...2014...April, when the price started falling. NOI was already issuing warnings by 2015...plus anyone who remembered the 1980's...knew that a storm was coming



True...and one reason why I will never vote PDP again...their supporters excusing their mistakes when in power only angered me more

But let's be frank...APC was voted to solve these problems, and theyhave not done so.

Be aware I am not PDP or APC, I just want someone who is young not corrupt and well educated would take the reins..

I am tired of the old guard of men.. Yes the PDP failed in part, but APC in this recent government have been far worse..

Also given the very skewed ethnic makeup of the current political elite, which we never saw to such a degree under southern leadership, I am sadly loath to vote in a Fulani or Hausa man ever again.. They engage in too much ethnic nepotism, it should no MUST be the best man or worman for the job, Federal character be damned (as that is what got us into this mess in the first place)..

ba7man:
The global economy has been worse since Buhari took over (2015). Oil price crash and of recent, COVID-19.

You need to have a more global outlook to life and stop being myopic in your quest to malign your country and president.

Excuses

The oil excuse and now corona lol..
