.i don't hav tym for this ur long epistle since u keep saying d same meaningless things u have been saying.
with ur repeat of "u n ur ilk" "Ur Gej"
one may wonder if u have been reading all the replies and comment left for u.
and how u come to conclude that Gej is "my/our Gej" is on u.
all i see in u is political sycophancy and Ethnic bigotry.
and u dont have to tell me u re not yoruba cos i have been on nairaland more than u could imagine.
u only fool those u can fool.
and as for why d igbos hate Oby.
u shud go to page two and Read my Reply to NgeneUkwenu.
any Igbo that tell u some tin else apart from that is just lying.
Gud9it
If you can read/discern, you should have understood my simple point from the comments on this thread and many others where ignorant folks keep blasting oby for no other reason than for the gej connection. The reason she's been blasted is obvious and you cannot try to twist that narrative.

As for the ethnic thing, or the claims of ethnic blasting, if i am blasted for my political choice, I will simply return the fire. You ignorantly claimed that i always insult igbos; point of correction, I blast PEOPLE who insult me or people like ngige, rochas, oby etc for our political choices. In every single instance i have mentioned the word igbo, i never for once generalised it, I always narrowed it down the the ignorant set of intolerant beings who keep blasting others for having a different choice. If that isnt clear to you, then I'm sorry I cant help you. People must learn to be tolerant and accommodating of people of divergent views.

And yeah I would say it again, just like you have claimed to have been on NL for ages, I hav personally maintained my ID on nairaland for close to 10 years and you must think I am very stupid to be faking who i am or my ethnicity for close to a decade on a faceless forum. But then, common sense isn't as common... gd morning

at the bolded.
which Ur Comments here shows u are referring to Over emotionally Gej followers.?
can u explain what you meant by ur statement below.

who are you now referring to as Over emotionally Gej follower and what do u mean by u have no problem with any tribe.?
are u even listening to ur self?
are u not d one that made d bolded statement above while i was telling u of how u device means to insult Ndi igbo indirectly on every igbo related post?

The problem with U Yorubas is that ur hypocrisy gaht no limit.
U always believe u are Intellectually superior and therefore can fool any one any tym u all feel lyk.
anyway i don't hv tym for people who lack Understanding and who don't listen but want other to accept their own irrational Opinions and suggestion.
i still advice u re-read my first advice to U.
A multitude of ur ilk have been abusing Oby of being a disgrace to the Igbo nation simply because she blasted your GEj, that's what this thread is all about by the way. Obviously her crime is not licking the feet of Jonathan like the majority, hence she's been labelled a disgrace to Igbos by you and your ilk. If you dont understand what I meant by emotional beings making irrational senseless attacks on the person of Oby, then you obviously dont deserve a further response.

And yeah, I am a Nigerian devoid of any form of hatred for any tribe, I can only detest a person because of the person's inherent wickedness or stupidity, but would never extend my judgement to his/her entire tribe.
And yes again, just for your info, I am not a yoruba person like many daft people I have interacted with on this forum think. I am more Igbo than most of the dimwits who come here spewing foolishness and claiming to be more Igbo than others all because of some silly political preference. If you arent comfortable with my political preferences, you should do the honorable thing by staying off my mentions and letting me be instead of joing the host of daftos on this forum who think anyone thinkinh differently must be yoruba. Thanks

How many times do you see northerns criticising their own? GEJ isn't an Igbo yet he had their support inspite of all.i listened to a radio this afternoon where Oby said that we shouldn't blame Jonathan for misfortune we're experiencing now. Don't you think something is fishing? Why the sudden attack at PMB? Where are those in the BBOG are? Why are they not talking? Why is Oby the only talking even after we heard some of parents were against her?. These are questions as to why the igbos are disappointed in her because they think that she was used and dumped.
First of all, did you hear Oby's voice in that so called radio programme or is it some baseless hearsay?... I need an answer cos if you follow the times, you should have known that the so called statement was faked by shameless detractors; even Vanguard Newspaper has issued a public apology to Oby this morning in that regard for claiming she made the statement.

Now even if Oby made the statement, what bearing does that have on anything?... As an educated person, shouldn't she have the right to her own opinion again?... Why the needless insults on her person from frustrated jonathanians?... election nor dey finish for una side?

You just stated for the second time that 'northerners no dey criticise their own.' I'm seriously wondering what that has to do with anything cos as you rightly said, GEJ isnt even Igbo and today the people criticising and abusing Oby are Igbos. Can't you see you are getting confused? cheesy

I only have a problem with the overly emotional gej followers who have refused to grow up and move on with their lives following the election. If you had half the maturity or wisdom you pride yourself to have, you should have seen that my message was simply targeted at some frustrated people who keep insulting an innocent madam Oby for no other reason than for her selfless engagement in a noble cause.

I actually used to have a lot of respect for Oby's intelligence. I admired her promotion of systems as tools for reducing corruption

However, I was rudely shocked, disappointed (actually embarrassed) to hear her on Al Jazeerah - Head to Head announcing that "god" created Nigeria. Now I am not a religious person but I can recognize blasphemy when I see it. This woman was faced with explaining the raison d'être for her "beloved country" and the only thing a supposedly educated and intelligent woman in the second decade of the 21st century could do was a resort to vague superstition.

After watching that interview, nothing she does surprises me any longer, no matter how ridiculous; lying on the bare floor, taping her mouth screaming herself hoarse about false flag abductions. Nothing! I've written her off. I don't have time for the willfully deceived.
She doesnt need your opinion or endorsement of her actions or of her religious believes.

Okorocha and Amaechi chosing. What's right you said?

What good has their 'right choice' done to the country?

Ezekwesili has refused to understand that BBOG died the day Buhari was declared winner of the presidential election. She has refuse to understand that the president and APC have moved on and have no time for her advocacy. She has refused to accept the fact that she has been used and dumped.

Ezekwesili is a highly respected Igbo woman even among those who share different political views with her, but she has refused to accept it's over. She has become a public nuisance at least to Buhari and his govt.
She was a nuisance to GEJ and his supporters, she is presently a nuisance to Buhari's government. That she is a nuisance to succesive Nigerian governments, it means there is something she's doing right for the voiceless masses.

The real people that need to move on are the multitude of jonathanian disciples who have refused to move on with their lives over a year after their election loss but rather choose to keep vomitting tantrums and misguided aggression everyday at a woman engaged in a noble cause.

How does rochas joining ApC amount to betraying his people?... because you love pdp or hate apc, you therefore want to forcefully impose your beliefs on everyone?... that's a pathetic mindset, rochas has a right to join or belong to any political party he wishes.

Oby has also been labelled a betrayer of her people by some nincompoops only because she chose to fight for the rescue of kidnapped kids; she's been labelled all sorts of unprintable names by ediots who are still angry with her because she dared to speak up against their hero gej. Oby certainly doesnt need her actions to be endorsed by these sort of lowlives. Her reward is definitely from above.

This man is not meant to govern a country.
Every single problem from shipping companies pulling out to airlines being unable to buy fuel and therefore relocating, to industries closing down etc have all been linked to just one problem, lack of forex. That is what happens when a nation relies on only one unstable commodity for its entire income. The vulnerability of the so called 'giant of africa' has simply been exposed with the drop in oil prices. Maybe we would learn a lesson or two from this as a nation going forward. Any person who really thinks there is a quick fix to this problem, probably a magic spell that would conjure forex from wonderland, such a person must be a dreamer.

So this is an achievement?
The bolded statement above is exactly what got us to the economic cesspit we are in today as a nation.

A country made N51 trillion in 5 years from oil alone and within this period, roads were not built, power was not fixed, instead of growing the savings and foreign reserves, national reserves crashed monumentally ironically at the time the country made the highest income ever. The reasons behind this anomaly are clearly highlighted in the bolded statement above, every idiot close to power was squandering national wealth, flying first class, purchasing or leasing private jets etc.

Many intelligent Nigerians made a huge mistake when they supported a man without grey matter to lead a nation of over 180 million people.
A country with the fastest economy on the continent should never have being committed into the hands of a failure who seems not to know his left from his right, it is human to err but to support tyranny , nepotism incompetence and extremism in the name of religion is the height of madness.

During the 2015 general elections Buhari promised to lead the fight against Boko Haram from the front unfortunately even the few of these blood sucking demons who were captured, tried and sentenced are now been released by a man who Promised to annihilate them.


Fellow Nigerians, Under Buhari Nothing has worked , from the economy to security , from Education to agriculture the man is doing his best to destroy everything that ever worked in this country, today Fulani men are licensed to invade your farm to level your crops with their cows and if you complain they are empowered to slaughter you and mark my words NOTHING WILL HAPPEN , ask the agatu & Enugu people !

The Release Kabiru Sokoto a man who carried out numerous attacks on Nigerian churches including the Christmas day Bombing that sent a huge Number of Christians to their early grave has clearly shown that Buhari supports the slaughter of Christians.
Now members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God ( RCCG) Who were celebrating APC GREEK VP slot can now see the effects of their fooly, Pastor Bosun was right all these while but Unfortunately Its too late now.


This release on Sallah Day is a gift to the terrorists and an insult to all the families whose bread winners and family members were killed by Kabiru and his APC gang in the various places of Worship they attacked.

If you choose not to wake up and use your own wisdom at least as an educated and enlightened person, you are free to keep sleeping. You can as well join the uvwie youths patrolling the streets looking for companies, shops and businesses to extort money from on a daily basis. When the companies refuse to 'tender', you are free to brutalise the personnel and vandalise/loot their equipment. By 12 noon, you can also join the boys roaming the streets from one company canteen to the other 'obtaining' free food; after all the companies are making free money in your community while you have no job so it's your inalienable right to harass the investors.

After all that, when your eyes are momentarily opened to the damage done by the justified acts of 'fighting for your rights,' you can easily blame Hausas and Yorubas and Igbos for taking away the investors from your hitherto thriving land.

The Warri situation is special. When they want to 'obtain' and victimize non-community members they site Lagos' Omò onilé as example but the companies from Warri and environs are going to Lagos everyday. It shows there is something fundamentally wrong with their way of life.
Limiting the victimisation and extortion of non-community members ended a very long time ago. Today both indigenes and non-indigenes aren't spared from the madness. Even government is spared, the govt has to settle the boys before they even carry out developmental projects. It's just insane and it has reduced the town to a pile of mess.

The people shouting government marginalisation or resource control on this thread sit comfortable in their villages making sorry assumptions, they have no clue what has been going on in warri.

They had a Ken Saro Wiwa with his non violent agitation. What happened to him?

The neglect of that region by successive FG's in connivance with local chiefs turned that place into a den of militants.

I believe if the root cause is addressed, everything will fall into place. Militancy and hooliganism will be reduced to its barest minimum in less than a decade.

People talk as if there's no hope for the youths to turn a new leaf. Thank God the core of their problem is that of economy and not religion/culture. Once economy of the area is fixed, every other thing will fall into place in a few years
This report talks specifically about warri, if only you have a good knowledge of that town, you would understand that the mess going on there which has reduced the town to a desolate wilderness doesn't even have anything to do with the general Niger-delta resource control struggle. We are talking of a large number of criminal minded lazy youths who aren't interested in working but who just go about extorting any and everyone (both indigenes, non-indigenes and foreigners) and the people who should speak up choose to be quiet and cheer the madness with some baseless excuses of oil.

For starters, Warri town doesn't even produce oil, I would be glad to know where the oil wells in the entire Warri South LGA, Uvwie or Udu LGAs are. But somehow, youths in the town seem to agitate and harass businesses more than youths from oil producing communities. There is hardly any business or company in the city that is allowed to thrive, thanks to the youths who keep agitating and extorting companies (both oil and non-oil coys) for God knows what. Last december shoprite was attacked and looted, I would suppose that was also part of the youths agitating for resource control by harassing investors?... Even the govt. isn't spared in the madness; if govt acquires a land and wants to build a hospital, it would have to settle 'youths' in the areas first.

This is the exact attitude that killed the seaport in the town, the extortion faced by businessmen using the port forced them to run away to less demanding environments (today the theory from some is that hausas and yorubas killed the port). The point here is that the problem totally has nothing to do with oil.
