VULCAN:
Unfortunately for you Emir Sanusi knows otherwise as he stated in his intriguing speech
“Nigeria In Search Of New Growth model” which he gave in August 2016. Here is an excerpt below:

When I was governor of Central Bank, the economy was growing at 37%. The oil sector was not adding anything to GDP growth. The growth was coming from agriculture, services and trade, which is also very revealing. If we are now saying we are in a recession, because of the collapse in oil price, we are not being sincere.
You can’t be in recession, because a sector that is 15% of your GDP has declined. What happened to agriculture, trade, services and health?


The speech is loaded and I recommend you read and assimilate it instead of allowing propaganda control your thought processes. As long as people are still singing a song told them by APC propagandists, there is little hope.

It takes a lot to go researching for the truth in the midst of loud cacophony of lies. But unless you are BMC or a Zombie you will study for yourself and make up your own mind.

Are you aware that the chief cause of Nigeria's presently economic crisis is the dollar scarcity and its consequent effect on our exchange rate?

Are you aware that oil still accounts for about 93% of Nigeria's forex earnings?

Before you go out to make analysis based on complex GDP figures which you have no clue about, you should first try and educate yourself on the most basic economics.

BigIyanga:
You can never get it... folks like Amaechi,Fashola, and Oshiomole and co insisted on sharring the money. Every governor collected their share, but in 2015 snd 2016 Oshiomole and co went back to FG begging for a bailout. So the FG used part of its savings to bail out same governors that had collected the share of ECA

There were 36 governors who prevailed on the FG to release the part of the ECA money belonging to states in 2010. In the first instance, it is a lame and laughable defense to single out the only opposition governors you knew then (Amaechi/Fashola/Oshio) as the culprits, cos at the time up to 80% of governors were still in PDP.

Meanwhile, this agitation by the governors had been on since the days of OBJ and even your favorite governors (Amaechi/Fashola/Oshio) weren't even governors then. The governors back then actually took OBJ and Yaradua to court for this very reason, but since OBJ and Yaradua had the political will and wisdom to save, they bluntly declined the request and dribbled the governors.

Fast-forward to GEJ era, and he instantly yielded to the pressure and shared the money. Now why did GEJ yield so easily?...
1. He had zero political will to save anything. This was confirmed by Okonjo Iweala even though she later came out to deny her statement claiming that she was misunderstood
2. Whilst the agitation by the governors was still on, the FG under uncle Jona was caught red-handed pilfering billions from the said ECA funds which it was advising governors to save. After being caught, the FG lost the moral standing to keep withholding the funds from the states.
3. GEJ used the decision to share the money as political leverage to win the support of state governors in his 2011 election bid.

Another point to buttress No. 1 above, since you claim the governors are the ones who didnt want to save, if GEJ had the slightest will to save anything, how come he also squandered the FG's share of the ECA after the states had taken theirs?.... FYI, the FG's share was over 50% of the entire ECA fund (over $10 billion). How come Nigeria's forex reserves which were over $40 billion when GEJ took power was reduced to less than $30 billion at his handover even though he enjoyed far more forex income than all other Nigerian leaders (including Buhari) put together?... LAstly, how come Nigeria's debt profile grew astronomically in this same period even with the unprecedented forex income at the time?.... The Amaechi/Fashola/Oshio ate them too?

Meanwhile the money used to bailout states was only paid up by LNG after GEJ had left office, so it's meaningless to even allude that GEJ saved it; as at February 2015, GEJ was already borrowing to pay salaries and Iweala had already warned Nigerians to brace up for a wild storm.

LatestAmebo:
Kano State Governor says he is not bowing to blackmailers who said he was not working but sleeping. Governor Abdullahi Ganduje stated this during an interactive session with labour unions as part of May Day celebration at the Government House, Kano.‎


He said that his political opponents could not differentiate between sleeping and pretending.‎ “My opponents always complain that I sleep at public functions but I want them to try and differentiate between the two.


Political blackmail is not an issue to me because I am used to it and will continue to work for the good people of the state,” he said.‎

This statement just cracked my ribs

kikake:
Even poorer countries did not go into recesion.

Nigeria with huge oil revenues should have had no business going into recession.

Nigeria went into recession because of President Buhari's and APC's incompetence.

The time APC/Buhari took over govt in 2015, N265 was buying £1.

A year after Buhari/APC govt, N625 was buying £1.

Incompetence, Incompetence, Incompetence - Buhari/APC

VEry ignorant analysis, no offence.

Nigeria went into recession because its leaders refused to diversify its source of income away from only oil and because of Nigeria's inordinate lust for imported items (including every drop of petrol we use). In such situations, you will definitely be in trouble when something happens to your only source of forex income. Only saviour would be if you had forex savings (as wise leaders and nations do).

Nigeria's only saviour during the last major oil crash in 2008 was because smart leaders had saved over $60 billion in reserves (which was used to buffer the economy). In 2008, it cost Nigeria $20 billion to ensure we didnt fall into recession and that was despite the fact that the oil crash lasted roughly 6 months. The current oil crash has lasted over 2.5 years and the last admin (which received monumentally high income) didnt save a dime, rather they squandered every savings they met in their fraudulent 'transformational agenda' which didnt see any major roads of power plants or refineries being commissioned.

Only ignorant folks feel the biggest blame for the current economic crisis should go to the leader who took over when the crisis had already started.

Good luck Jonathan said let us have a joint savings account for the future of our people. Those rogues said No. The debt obasanjo cleared is now been piled up again. All in the name of development. How on planet earth could a kilometer of road cos 1billion naira. Wasteful kleptomaniacs

Don't people even get embarrassed when they make these kind of statements in public?... WHo uses the words 'GEJ' and 'save' in the same sentence?... What kind of self deceit is this?...

GEJ wanted to save in a joint account, but he was busy siphoning money from the very account without knowledge of the governors.
GEJ wanted to save, yet after governors pulled out theirs from the shared account, GEJ squandered the FG's share which was over 50% of the total joint savings.
GEJ wanted to save, yet every other account where the FG saves money was run down completely during his tenure
GEJ wanted to save but after meeting insignificant public debt, he astronomically increased the nation's debt before leaving power (including borrowing to pay salaries in 2015).

And all of the above happened irrespective of the fact that his admin received the highest income, actually more than all other regimes put together.

9jasave:
but he doesn't need to lie...I use to like him but he really messed by the wrist watch and ikoyi flat issues

Well, I think he can be excused for the wristwatch issue, he may actually not be lying about owning that watch for 17 years, but he obviously concealed the fact that he's got other watches (maybe smaller watches).

Nowenuse:
Aside Osibanjo, i think Peter Obi is the most sellable Southern candidate for President.

I concur... Obi is even more experienced and trusted in leadership/administration than Osy.

PEter Obi still remains more credible than a multitude of southern politicians and leaders (past and present), and all the current 2019 presidential aspirants. Under the current circumstances considering the already known 2019 aspirants, I would gladly give my vote to Obi.

Growing up as the daughter of a vulcanizer, she probably never thought she would be a graduate one day. Is she the first child of a vulcanizer to ever become a graduate? No...but what we see here is a young woman who is happy and proud of how far she's come in spite of her background.

LALASTICLALA, IJEBABE

Vulcanizers make pretty good money, more than many people sitting in offices claiming to do white collar jobs. The only issue is the lifestyle and personal perception. When a man sees himself as a mere vulcanizer, a nobody, a failure, and then starts living the hand-to-mouth lifestyle, having no savings etc, then thw mindset and perception of self becomes the real let-down.

I don't know why Nigeria can't produce all these things.....
I watched the making of sugar on YouTube and this sugar is made from sugar cane.
Does it mean that we can't cultivate sugar canes and get all the machineries accessible for processing?

ayindejimmy:
I don't see imported sugar where I buy sugar o!

Is St lious or Dangote imported?

This man should say rich people are buying imported sugar

You would be shocked to know that all the sugar you consume in Nigeria are actually imported. Companies like Dangote and Flour Mills actually import the raw sugarcane extract and the only thing they do in Nigeria is process it, package it and then sell as Nigerian sugar. Huge shame!

But all that is changing now, dollar crisis and cbn's policy of releasing forex to only 'serious' businesses is now resetting the brain of these companies. Dangote and floir mills have recently set up massive sugarcane plantations in Nigeria to get their own extract locally.

why are this people so dumb

of all the problems hanging on Nigeria neck u guys only think of Nigeria jellof rice

what is even wrong with all this dumb people...like president like the vp....no direction

You who has a 'direction', where has that your so called 'direction' taken you in life?... And since when has having a sense of humour become dumbness or directionlessness? #Oversabi!

Ken, restructuring will not work in Nigeria. In as much as it will be the best, it will not work.
Who will draft the terms of restructuring?
What will happen if the North refuses the terms of restructuring?
Has the principle of federal character been obeyed in employment in Nigeria even if it's is a horrible scheme we are still not getting the quota allocated to us Eg current DSS recruitment.?
What was the outcome of of the several reports submitted by committees assigned to correct the inequality in the Nigerian polity?

Restructuring can very well work out in Nigeria and restructuring is far more achievable than outright secession. However, restructuring can only work if the southern block calls for it in unison.

I've heard so much about northern population and dominance in the national assembly, but in 2011, with all the support the core north (NW/NE) gave Buhari, he lost woefully (by over 10million votes) to GEJ and that was because the 3 southern zones and the middle-belt voted GEJ. Most of the the north-central/middle-beltans are equally sick and tired of the far north's domination, the Fulani invasion and annihilation of middle-belt communities also is a catalyst for this discontent, and the middle-belt would happily support a push for restructuring if and only if the south gets its act right.

In summary, just like the Kenyan anti-corruption activist Prof PLO Lumumba said, "Africa would get it right the day Nigeria gets it right." Similarly, restructuring in Nigeria can only be possible the day the southern block finally decides to suspend its differences and speak about restructuring with one voice (something which has never happened in Nigeria's history). Fact is, the hindrance to restructuring has never really been the north.

sirusX:
She just exposed him to the world

They have records of clients and he can be traced by Uber if they really have laws against that

Even when he pleaded, she still found a way to mess him up and ridicule him.

Fear some ladies

Well, she didnt expose his name or his number in the sms she posted... so there's no way UBER will kbow exactly which driver did it out of their thousands of drivers. Truth is, she actually appreciated the message and posting it on snapchat whilst trying to sound unimpressed is just a way these girls show off.

baddosky1:
I am not disputing the fact that Nigerians do drugs overseas but we need to get some things straight here...These Malaysians and Indonesians are actually beserk and angry about Nigerians and the huge successes they achieve in their home country.

The major business in Malaysia and Indonesia which Nigerians (esp the Igbos) do is textile business and they succeed more in it more than the indigenous people of Malaysia and Indonesia because these asians can put in the same man-power and hard work like the Igbos do.

Secondly, it is believed that their women love Nigerian men and dote over them to the chagrin of those "short-d*cked" Malaysian and Indonesian men and so the whole idea is...Allow the Igbos to come into Malaysia and Indonesia, when they do and record a lot of success in the business, have them arrested and tag them to drug dealing and (for those who like their women) under-aged sexual advances towards their girls under the age of 18 and finally 419...give them a sentence ranging from life-imprisonment to execution by firing-squad and VOILA!!...TAKE OVER THEIR MONEY AND BUSINESSES! A clear case of giving a dog a bad name just to kill it!

If the NOISE the Malaysian and Indonesian Government are making about drug issues concerning Nigerians in their country is a 100% true and is void of "Set-Up" and "Pre-Staged", why nor totally slam a ban against Nigerians coming into your country entirely? I just feel pity for the innocent Igbos who have been tagged drug dealers languishing in Malaysian Prisons.

You go to Malaysia, start doing business there and the Government taxes you plus the police asking you to pay huge remits every week and when you dare complain, they break into your home and put some cocaine and the next thing is having the police swarm your residence and you are whisked away!

Why haven't we been hearing about Nigerians in countries like Holland, France, Canada and even nearby Japan repeatedly arrested for drug related offences like malaysia and indonesia? I don't blame the Malaysian or Indonesian government, i blame those Igbo guys who won't learn and still find their way to those shyte-hole countries. RUBBISH!

Bro, there's no point denying reality, a lot of Nigerians have the get-rich-quick mentality and a lot of Nigerians are actually involved in these illicit trades and 419. Of course there are also a large number of us doing legitimate businesses and doing very well, but remember even a drop of paint can pollute the whole bucket of water; and may I add that the number of our people in Malaysia/Indonesia etc involved in 419 and drugs constitutes way more than just a drop of paint.

Forget you analogy about why Nigerians aren't being caught in developed countries like Holland, France, Canada and even nearby Japan, the fact is that if I wanted a 'safe' place to practice an illicit trade, I wouldn't dare go to those developed countries where I know I would be sniffed out instantly and jailed. There's a reason why most criminally minded people prefer the Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand axis, and that's cos the undeveloped nature of those places gives them sanctuary. A shameful fact remains that an embarrassing number of our young guys based in those countries claiming to do business or study are actually crooks.

God bless u. Me i dont knw what is romantic about dat message

Conflict of interest I guess. I'm sure the UBER rules prohibit him from hitting on his fares, he's aware of the rules, hence his plea for her not to report.

And yeah, the text may not exactly be romantic to everyone, but a simple text like this could actually brighten someone's dull day out there.

Chaii... The dude had to beg for non-disclosure first

Thank God she didnt expose him.

dragonking2:
Now you claimed that this was my statement but like i said, you didnt bother to know the genesis of the statement. You just jumped in trying so hard to defend your buddy but ended up dancing around in circles all this while.

You made a simple and clear statement which was obviously flawed, I stepped in to correct it. There is nothing wrong in that, I'm sorry.

Two things i have deduced from you. 1.You are very confused. 2. You are a big but bad liar.
Now, I have never made such comment on this thread stating to witness the bolded from him before the elections. This proves me right after all that comprehension is what you are missing here. Attached to this comment is my post (labeled 1) which you quoted. The first part which you LOLed is "If you check his omenka handle and check from 2013 backwards you will see that his was a loving chap like every other nairalander"[ . The second part of that post is Buhari has messed him up with hate, bile and bigotry which means he was twisted with hate, bile and bigotry for his blind support for buhari. No where did I ever mention on this thread that i witnessed tribal bigotry from him before the elections. Infact, provide the post where I stated this if you can. Am waiting for it.

Just like I pointed out earlier, a lot of people listen/read just to 'reply', they don't bother to comprehend before jumping to drop responses. Now go back to the origin of our argument and read through my comments again (slowly this time). I clearly agreed with your post about the dude being calm headed prior to 2015, and I rightly pointed out that his transition was due to the severe backlash he received from the venomous tongues of a multitude of angry jonathanians all because of his very vocal support for Buhari. I also pointed out how the angry plebs threw decorum to the wind and kept mocking victims of herdsmen attacks in Benue all because Benue chose to support Buhari over their Jonathan; they also made sure they mentioned his name whenever they penned down their foolishness. Those incidents were the genesis of his tirades and not your 'blind support for Buhari' theory. EoD

If you paid attention, you would have picked out that all I wanted was to deflate your 'Buhari Support' theory. But you kept dragging a simple clarification into pointless territories by asking for evidence and also bragging about having evidence.

We all know that he isnt berem nor oremusantus but it is assumed that he, berem and oremunsantus are matured when campaigning for their various candidates which only him has failed to show. As for the last bold, it is your opinion that Buhari wasnt at fault, also it is my opinion to say that Buhari is responsible for his breakdown. Everyone is free to have their own opinion, however, if you want to tell me mine is wrong then you have to back it up with proof. This has been mine stance and i still maintain it.

Everybody suffered backlash, you can't imagine what I go through till date in the hands of family and friends especially for being an easterner who strangely supported 'an enemy.' But then like I said, everyone is different in the way they react to these things; however it would be unwise for anyone to compare my case (or berem's) to omenka who was mocked by some fools whenever there was a tragic attack by herdsmen in his state.

2dugged:
what the op is going through happens in every marriage, after kids, couples become distant and put all energy into taking care of the kids. This time of marriage can be so complicated and scary and if not handled well just like the op,can lead to a breakup of the marriage. I am sure if we are to ask the op about the last time he had sex with his wife, he probably won't remember.
op, let me describe your situation ; a child is given a present for Christmas, he is so excited to unwrap the gift, upon unwrapping, he finds out it is the toy the always eyed at the mall, he plays with it all year till the toy finally packs up, he tosses it aside waiting for the next gift.
you might think you have found a new love,new passion and spark, but I doubt you will feel same way once the new lady has a child for you and starts to give more attention to the child, you will feel lost over again, same place, same feeling.The is the perfect time to tell you that the grass is never greener on the other side, and for someone who grew up in a polygamous home, I can confidently tell you that no matter how good people are,there will always be that division and bad blood between the siblings. A word they say is enough for the wise, I believe I have said more than a word here

Wisdom!

Hardeysolution:
Hummmmmm. ..42years?? ?? Ah! Pray Sir and don't cheat.. ..if you go to another lady, it's cheating.. ..if yo divorce her, it's wickedness, if you pray, you will be eased.. ....sir,do this!

Meanwhile, you don't care for her if you do, you'll love her.. ....please save your home!

Bolded part above is a very wrong assumption. Love is involuntary but caring for a person is a decision. A man might 'decide' to care for his wife and his kids because he's generally a caring person and/or cos he chose to do the right thing expected of a responsible person. But that doesnt automatically mean he loves her, love is a different ball game.

dragonking2:
To the first bolded, another dubious attempt to dodge the subject. If your comment was just a contribution you would have stated it a long time ago instead of peregrinating on this thread all along.

"Buhari has messed him up with hate, bile and bigotry."

The above was your original statement and my first comment was just to clarify your obviously erroneous assertion about 'Buhari' being responsible for his reactions (hence I termed it a contribution). You made a comment about his resort to bigotry and I pointed out the real reason he went that route, being the extreme backlash he suffered in the hands of deeply pained Jonathanians.

To the second bolded, I will remind you again that it is even dumber when you make statements without back up. You think when you post a screenshot i wont scrutinize or make my findings? You dont just barge in, make a sensitive "comment" and walk away without being challenged. You should know that, i believe that you aint a kid although am having second thoughts.

The joke is on you bro! The last time I checked, you were the one who made an accusing statement about witnessing tribal bigotry from him before the elections; I clearly told you I didnt witness any tribal bigotry before the elections. But instead of bringing up evidence to support your accusation, you've been dancing aroundin circles asking me (who keeps telling you I didnt witness any tribal bigotry) to provide evidence. So which evidence exactly do you want me to provide?... I'm still amused at how an acclaimed adult can't still figure out the dumbness of this his request even 24 hours after.

To the third bolded, it is a shame that you are trying so hard to avoid the truth. Berem did exactly what omenka did during the campaign period, at the end they both lashed out. Well like you said and which I agree, all human have different ways to respond to backlash, the sorry part is while others handled the situation maturely, your buddy omenka was childish while handling his.

To the final bolded, this statement is getting boring. He isnt the first neither will he be the last so this excuse is insignificant.

He isnt berem and neither is he oremusantus, so you wouldn't expect everyone to react the same way. But the only point I tried to straighten out was the meaninglessness of your claim that Buhari was responsible.

And here I was, thinking this sort of weird events only happen in Kenya.

malton:
GEJ is right to feel betrayed.

I probably would too if I were in his shoes.

But he's taking it too personal, blaming everyone but himself.

Like Sonala Olumhense rightly puts it, GEJ is the accused trying the judge in his own courtroom.

If you must be told in plain words, those Northern leaders are useless and cannot influence many people to vote for or against anyone. They aren't as influential as they made him believe.

Buhari lost against this same Jonathan in 2011. Do you think he did because the core Northerners voted for him against Buhari? Hell no! Buhari lost because both the Southwest and Middle Belt voted massively for GEJ. Make no mistake, these are some of the regions that vote based on stats only, and not out of sentiment.

In the end, what did these two regions get in return? Your guess is as good as mine. I don't mean this as in direct benefits; I do in the general sense.

As a Punch editorial by Olumhense puts it, GEJ lost because "His electoral campaigns were built on lies he never attempted to implement, he openly approved of corruption, and under his management Nigeria grew from poorly-managed to unmanageable."

If we faced the same situations again with the same players, I bet the same scenario would play out.

Nothing could be truer than this..

The very set of people (Jonathanians) who lament about APC playing the blame game, these people usually come up with the most ridiculous fors of blame games. Anyway, I we keep learning new things everyday; now I know it was the US, UK, France etc. that actually stood under the sun to vote GEJ out.

AND WE STILL NEED TO BORROW BEFORE PAYING WORKERS?




WHO IS FOOLING WHO?

Who is borrowing to pay salary?

dragonking2:
You are the one who lacks basic comprehension and understanding. Did my statement refer to tribal remarks before you came out to refute my post? Yes or no? Yet you jumped in, yarned off point and stated rigmaroling. Learn to read and comprehend before you reply someone. And you don't need to post his over 10,000 post. how dumb can that be. I expected you to post some of his post to buttress your point so stop giving flimsy excuses. And to crown it up, yes he is now a tribal bigot who is immature. The likes of temitemi1, oremusantus, beremx etc received several backlash for supporting their respective political candidates, do you see them displaying childish behaviors on Nairaland? Even berem received worse from her own people. Guy you don't have a point. QED.

Firstly, I was making a clarification based on your post, there's no rule in this world that says I must respond verbatim to your comments, you referred to 'bigotry', and I specifically picked out the tribal aspects and made my own point. If only you read to understand (as opposed to reading just to quickly reply), you would have understood my contribution from the onset.

Secondly, you keep asking me to post one or 2 of his comments to buttress my point and up till now, I'm still surprised you haven't figured out how dumb that would be cos I could easily just randomly pick out 10 of his 'clean' posts and present them as meaningless evidence. Isn't it obvious to you that it is the person who claims he saw dirt on a large piece of fabric that should be pointing them out?

Thirdly, pointing out berem and co. is pointless, all humans are different and have different ways they respond react to assault/backlash.

Finally regarding your 'blame game on Buhari', someone receives a barrage of distasteful insults from thousands of people all because he supports Buhari, he then loses it and goes totally ballistic returning fire for fire. But in your wisdom, you do not think the insults and bullying could be responsible for his current reactions/transition, rather you think it is just Buhari's doing?... Wonderful reasoning there, you should be clapping for yourself.

dragonking2:
What point are you trying to make when you can't provide proof? Now, if you took your own advice and read properly before you quoted me then you would have noticed that the screenshot I provided was an evidence showing that before the elections omenka even when he criticized PEJ didn't do it with insults until Buhari campaign started. This is where you have failed severally to understand. That's why i responded to the guy saying "omenka was a loving chap like every other nairalander" before you barged in to deny by claiming that Buhari wasn't the cause. So I asked you to provide proof which you have failed severally to do and kept on rigmaroling and beating about the bush all along. Hope you get the drift now? So can you prove your point or not?

Now it's official, you got serious comprehension issues. I've been referring to the tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks, tribal attacks. Maybe by repeating the phrase 20 times, you may miraculously now understand the point.

The bolded part of your comment above even proves my point that there was more decorum before the elections and he only went tribally ballistic after the backlash following the result of the election and several events that occurred afterwards. You keep asking of proof; so what proof exactly are you asking for if yuo already know that his comments were decent before the elections?.. And please by all means, kindly educate me on the nature of the proof you expect me to bring?... Should I go quoting his over 10,000 comments on NL prior to the election as proof to you that his comments were 'tribally clean' prior to elections?...

Bros I don tire, you win! cos there's absolutely no way we can reach a consensus seeing as you have repeatedly displayed an incapacity to understand my simple English sentences.

dragonking2:
Try to have comprehension of your own statements. Here is your first post quoting me.



^^This was your first post replying to my own post which was referring to the screen shot I posted. You claimed that "Buhari didnt mess any one with hate". You further stated that it was due to the attacks he received post 2015.This is a summary of your claim. Now, I believe that if you want to prove a point you have to back it up. You quoted me despite I provided a screenshot to buttress my view, so why is it difficult for you to do the same? You don't just come with empty words without considering the fact that you have to back it up.

Now, here is my immediate reply to your post


^^here I requested for screenshots that will back you and your claim so I can provide mine but you quickly boycotted claiming that it is impossible claiming they are numerous. So why make a claim if the task is to herculean for you?



Now here is your post claiming that it is impossible. So you don't want to fulfil your own part and since you aren't ready then why do you want me to waste my time with you?

Now this is part of your last mention to me which says


This is another dubious but lame attempt to dodge the fact that he wasn't the only one who suffered post election backlashed as you claim yet his immaturity reeks all over nairaland.

Another part of your last mention to me says:


Its funny that you were hasty to reply a post without knowledge of what you are replying. Now if you were observant I replied in reference to the screenshot I posted on the first page. However, you on the other hand just replied me out of nowhere, made counter claims without a single backup. Am sure common sense will also tell you that the person making counter claims or counter accusations is also supposed to provide backup to such claim. Maybe common sense isn't actually common after all.

I still maintain, once you can provide screen shots to counter my post you will see mine. You can continue to beat about the bush since it is impossible for you. Am waiting.

If only you could spend a second of your time to read and understand my point which I have been repeating over and over again, then you wouldnt have been going about in these directionless circles. In your first statement which I quoted, I was referring to the tribal bigotry part (specifically the unfortunate attack on Igbos). I made it clear by repeating this very point over and over again that prior to 2015, it was just political banters of GEJ vs Opposition/Buhari. But following the elections, it degenerated into a tribal attack. For the love of God, what is difficult to understand in the above?.... You keep referring to your screenshot where he attacked GEJ/PEJ, but how does that 'political' statement stand as evidence for the 'tribal attacks' which I've been referring to?

And then you keep asking me to provide evidence, evidence of something which I've been repeating to you doesnt exist?..... Go read through his over 10,000 posts before the election and point out the undiluted tribal attacks; that is my evidence.

dragonking2:
What challenge am I slipping from? You quoted me with a claim and I stated that if you can provide screen shot to prove your assertions then I will provide mine to disprove it. Since then you have been rigmaroling without saying anything tangible.
Go to this first page of this thread and check out my post showing one of his previous post without abusing PEJ. That same post shows the hypocrite that he is today. But according to you, it was the ipob attackers that did it to him right? I wonder what the likes of temitemi1 and oremusantus will do cause they also received serious abuse and criticism for defending GEJ. They didn't end up like rapid dogs today. So you don't have a point.

BTW I have been on Nairaland since 2005, definitely not with this handle.

You are the one dancing around in circles either because you do not comprehend my simple point spelt out in simple English, or because you do not have an answer for your own challenge.

Common sense tells me the person making an accusation is ordinarily responsible for providing evidence to back his claim. You are the one claiming omenka's attacks on Igbos existed long before the elections so common sense in this case entails that you should be the one providing screenshots of these attacks you claim you saw before election to back your claim. But instead, you keep asking me repeatedly to provide screenshots; screenshots of what exactly if I may ask?... Screenshots of omenka 'not attacking Igbos before the election'?... Does this your request even make any sense to you?... The evidence you ask for lies in his entire NL comment history which you can obtain from his profile(s).

Or is an attack on the then president GEJ or his wife PEJ what you now refer to as an 'attack on Igbos'?

dragonking2:
You came out with the claim yet you are unable to fulfill and buttress your point. There is no need for me to waste my time when you are unwilling to the same.

What exactly do you even mean by asking me to post evidence to buttress my point?.... which evidence are you talking about?... The one which exists or the one which doesn't?... You claim something exists and I say it doesn't; who between the 2 of us should be providing evidence to buttress their point here?... Does this request even make any sense to you?

I've been a member of this forum for close to 10 years and I've followed omenka's comments for a long time now. I put it to you that he only started being venomously critical and insulting towards Igbos after the 2015 election. If you think otherwise, why dont you post your evidence for us to see. I'm not doubting you 100%, I only just need evidence.

You obviously haven't found any evidence yet to buttress your own point, hence you're smartly slipping away from a challenge you brought here yourself.
