Sometimes one can't help but wonder the kind of juju that is always used on decision makers in this country once they get to power. How did any normal human with a functional brain think this sort of thing is a good idea?

And one begins to wonder why the black race is so backward... People are dying of kwashiorkor in the north and in several parts of the country, the best priority for some people in power is to spend scarce billions subsidizing worthless spiritual trips?... If this foolishness is not rescinded, may high thunder strike the idiots who thought up and approved this nonsense as a good idea.

I know some people will soon ask why AMCON recovered funds isn't used to fund budget.

shhharrap!

Bleedy wailers!... If they don't wail, who will?

Some resemblances can be scary

overlord77:
Dude, please explain to me again how all these words you just mumbled defends the CBN letter or are you implying it's forged? So someone went through all these troubles just to paint your baba bad cos I totally don't understand the venomous, bitter folks you speak of.

The person you quoted was responding to someone in the post you quoted; sometimes you know you could simply just spare a second to read through the trail of the discussion firstly, else you would never be able to understand what the person you quoted was talking about.

Standing5:
Bros try and be mature on this thread. Stop derailing serious topic of discussion into election and party issue. Does it make sense to use scarce dollar for pilgrimage when people are dying of hunger and whe lack same dollar to import machinery with which to boost agric output?

Derailment?... Mr Man, next time try and trace the origin of a discussion between two people instead of just diving-in midway uninvited and jumping into pointless conclusions.

Some dolts just fail to understand the beauty of 'golden silence.'

HurtgenForest:
well, you may be right.

Let me reduce the list.

These ones are iredeemable: omenka/progressive01 & aresa.

These two can chant 'sai baba' from now till forever without eating or drinking.

Especially omenka.

You should understand that there are different ways to support a person and still maintain your integrity and personal respect. The last thing I would do is to support nonsense (e.g. this hajj bonanza) even if it is my biological father involved. Although if my father errs, I don't necessarily have to come out and abuse him in public (like the hordes of enemies and haters want me to); there is something called 'maintaining an honorable silence' when you are disappointed by an action of your person.

Once again, the last thing I would do is to come out publicly to defend rubbish; I can't say so much for the multitude of losers who jump out everyday ridiculously defending corrupt nincompoops all because of tribal or ethnic or regional or partisan sentiments.

Progressive01:
these guys are just so irritating. Small sense like this them no gree get.

Tufiakwa.

This isn't normal at all. There's gotta be some sort of ancestral curse somewhere.

This isn't an ancestral matter, this is just a case of self inflicted trauma. Even Jonathan and PDP that lost the election have since moved on. But some die-hard supporters just want to kill themselves over nothing; now they keep losing their minds everyday.

HurtgenForest:
You must understand that some people are destined to shout 'sai baba' for the rest of their lives here on earth.

To these ones, buhari is the lord & saviour and can never be wrong.

These ones are o menka/progre ssive01, Ob ailala, ar esa/arr esa/a ressa, vedaxcool, etc.

Bla bla bla.. nonsense!

If you had half of the brain power or intellect you claim to have, you would have done your little assigment to see that some of the people you mentioned above actually condemn bubu when he does silly things. But then, how can you possibly exercise this sort of intellect when you still drown yourself in the sorrow and trauma of your hero losing an election over a year ago?

Some decrepit brains are saying the pictures are fake; some say aisha is in aso rock washing pots and pans, another set claim aisha is in kano wiring money to sahara reporters to post photoshopped pictures and a third group claim Aisha begged Saraki's wife to go and beg the Obamas.

While this may all just be jokes, some of these people are actually dead serious about these claims giving so much credence to the popular saying by Albert Einstein on the infinite nature of human stupidity.

Something else I have noticed which is common to the originators of these weird claims is the source of their info (see links below)

I had actually expected most people to keep silent over this Fayose vs Aisha matter since yesterday, but most times we underestimate the extent of human stupidity.

ukomko:
Which is more embarrassing
Having a waec-less president or...
Having a corrupt first lady that sneaks into airport without NTA coverage?

Sorry Buhari is more embarrassing.

ukomko:
After the Biafran press have dealt with the brown envelope gutter press in Nigeria, things will never be the same again.
Wait for the terrestrial BiafraTv.
The world will marvel at the extent of raw reportage

You mean the extent of 'foolish reportage'?.... The only problem with the biafran agitation is that it is daft people spearheading it. The childish rubbish being churned out daily from those websites is what you are actually proud of and brag about?...

Since yesterday biafran media has been awash with aisha buhari's matter, concocting all sorts of embarrassing reports from how aisha begged Saraki's wife to beg obama, to how aisha is actually in Kano but paid saharareporters to air a fake video. This morning another biafra media claims aisha is in aso rock washing pots and pans, and this I suppose is how these 'adults' leading the biafran agitation expect to be successful?... Spreading infantile fables (I wouldn't even class these ones as propaganda) which can only appeal to critically low IQ plebs?

Sometimes I just wonder and wish it is actually secondary school kids who do these things, cos nothing more could be more embarrassing to the Igbo nation if this is all brains of the noisy secessionists can churn out.

proeast:
Bro, call a spade by its name & dont shift blame. What has Africa got to do with this? Is Kenya, Ghana, S.A etc involved in this show of shame? Leave Africa and blame who is responsible i.e your country & its maximum ruler. People going on religious excursion are giving "free money" while Chronically ill people, students, importers of raw materials & essential goods etc are denied such incentive and you tell me such a country will ever develop? NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!!!

A spade is a spade and I am not shifting any blame here. Leadership sense deficit isn't just a Nigerian problem; it is widespread in Africa in different forms, hence why the continent is backward.

funy enough same op is recognizing energetic youths like joshua wong n agnes chow's campaign of self determination for hongkong, yet crusifying Nnamdi Kanu's campaign of self determination for B...i.....a..fra.

TonyeBarcanista:
I NEVER criticised NK for championing Bi...a...f. Check my history and get the position...

I thought Kanu was 48 years old?... Is he also supposed to be a youth?

ukomko:
Reports going on in some quarters of the media is that Nigeria's first lady, Aisha Buhari visited the United States, Washington DC precisely. But there are very strong reasons to believe that Mrs Buhari is in her Kitchen in Aso Rock probably 'Washing Dishes'.

Nigerians have challenged Aisha to walk in the streets of Washington or take pictures with Michelle Obama to prove she really is in or visited the United States.

This is 21st century for goodness sake, Nigerians have really woken up and you can no longer concoct nonsense and feed them with it.


http://biafrasay.com/p/322285/aisha-buhari-is-currently-in-aso-villa-not-us-she-lied-to-ni

Yesterday it was Biafraherald that came up with a similar stupid report, today na BiafraSay, and who know, it maybe biafraTimes or IgbereTV tomorrow. Life must be really fvcked up for these never-do-well lots who carry this Biafra thing on their head; they keep losing their minds day after day because of Buhari matter. When Fayose suddenly becomes their hero and FFK suddenly becomes their pope, it becomes even clearer and clearer that Buhari is 'simply' the bone of contention. Lawd av merci!

Whoever formulated or approved this policy must be a bastaaard! Africa is indeed a cursed continent.

TonyeBarcanista:
Power doesn't come as a gift or on a platter of gold. Young people must do something different to be able to dislodge the elders... Maybe a formidable and ideological based party

Absolutely, no one gives power to anyone, power should be taken. Hence why I shake my head whenever I see or hear people lamenting how the older generation does not want to handover power to the youths.

When will the older generation let go and hand over to the youths?

The above is a question Nigeria's docile youths have been asking for ages and which still begs for an answer. But the fact is that it is a meaningless question which actually deserves no answer. If an answer must be given, it would be that the Nigerian youths aren't ready for leadership yet. And for as long as the youths arent ready yet, leadership will never get to them.

@Tonye, take a look at all the examples of youths from other nations you gave above, did any of them sit back like suckling toddlers waiting for someone to spoon feed them by handing them the mantle of leadership on a platter?

scorpio2013:
Man of God leave politics and save souls.

This isnt even a case of normal politics, this is just weird divisive politics being played by the man of God.

Ekwremmadu is Igbo, Uwajumogu is Igbo; but the man of God claims Okorocha's wish to have his party member (Uwajumogu) on the seat instead of Ekwreremmadu is an anti-Igbo activity.

Abeg someone should explain to me what sort of logic is this?... What sort of evil divisive politics is this?

Seems most of these NL and facebook users with a biafra appendage to their names are usually synonymous with daft lines of reasoning. When I saw one of them on facebook today claiming that the pictures and videos of Aisha Buhari in the US are fake, I first thought it was just a person making jokes; but I was wrong. I expected these people to just go silent today at least but I obviously underestimated how silly some humans could be.

Now the stupidity has crawled into NL and I can now see even the ones I thought were smart (for being silent) all jumping out of their holes into the the moving train of mumurity... wonderful!

NOETHNICITY:
ur papa born u well. Don't know u frm adam, but jus know that somebdy frm afar is very proud of u

Thanks bro... me I don taya for some people and their continuous lamentation for this country especially as the loudest lamenters have never for once, directed the blame to the real culprits. I cant understand how the minds of so many can be so screwed by a few deceivers. Anybody who sits back, drops sentiments and critically thinks without emotional and sentimental influence should be able to see the real problem to be a local leadership matter.

For example, Delta state is one of the richest states in Nigeria and this same state is the largest debtor owing over N300 billion. Nobody can point out any single major project in this state in 16 years to justify the billions it receives and the billions it owes. Yet when you highlight cases of communities without clean water, some clowns jump in from nowhere and claims it is the north or maybe SW that should be blamed for this issue; no blame ever goes to the state governments. The saddest part is that even enlightened people swallow this rubbish and increase the tempo of lamentations. I just marvel at the inability of people to think independently.

These governors banning street trading, where do they expect the street traders to go to? how do they expect them to feed?

NOETHNICITY:
Thought Nija na Zoo? Now who be animal?

It's only the jobless never-do-wells that keep carrying the zoo name tag thing on their head like their lives depend on it; they don't represent the majority.

More of this... Where are those complaining of bag of rice selling for N20k?... High quality local rice has come to the rescue for less than N10k. Kudos to all the states that have keyed into this rice initiative; Anambra, Ebonyi, Niger, Nassarawa, Lagos, Kebbi etc.

Very commendable...

Miranda11:
Who was President of nigeria in 2009? i believe it was that person who appointed Sanusi as CBN Governor, why didn't he tell Yaradua then that subsidy was a scam or challenge Obasanjo that subsidy was a scam?

Jonathan tried to remove subsidy during his time and Sanusi was the CBN gov then, because Jonathan knew it was a huge scam but the APC people in power now fought against it, only for the same APC people who supported Sanusi to become Emir of Kano, to turn around and remove it.

Sanusi was also part of the foolish people that created the policy, so please who is scamming who here?

Who is this one making this ignorant comment?

Sanusi was the one who advised Jonathan to remove fuel subsidies after paying N2.13 trillion in 2011 alone; SLS was the one who raised the alarm of the fraud.

Aisha Buhari spotted in the U.S. with a Hermes Birkin Bag 35cm Porosus Crocodile Gold Hardware Bag worth $105, 000 (N40, 950,000) at $1 to N390.

The pink version of Aisha Buhari’s Hermes handbag was auctioned in 2015 for $222,912 (N86 Million) at Christie's auction in Hong Kong.

http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/497118/lifestyle/look-crocodile-skin-handbag-sells-for-a-record-222-912-christie-s

More than 50 percent of Nigerians live below the international poverty line of $1.25 per day, according to the United Nations.

From Aisha stol Halliburton money to Aisha can never travel to the US. Now Aisha has eventually travelled to the US, the new game is "she carried N40m handbag. You wailers don't give up do you?... Your lives must be very difficult, considering that the only effect of all these senseless campaigns of calumny is to get people to hate Buhari and APC by all means courtesy of the 2019 elections which is still 3 years away. For how long will this self inflicted torture continue?

Lalastics abeg come put this one for frontpage to ameliorate the high BP these wailers caught this morning upon seeing Aisha in US.

CSTR12:
Close your mouth, nigga. I know what it means to hold a government responsible. I don't stay in that country so i have a vantage view of everything without sentiment.I have always been in the vanguard of asking for better state governance in the east, but sorry it is much deeper than that.
What would you call a scenario where the FG refused to invest or atleast compel investors to explore the deepest coastline in akwaibom close to the eastern markets and industrial hubs.? Is badagry seaport a better or more viable project?
How else would you call a situation where a single northern state like kano with negligible productivity gets more funds from the federal government than the eastern region?
Even this federal budget has the SE- a region of huge potential productivity with by far the lowest federal attention even much lower than even bokoharam ridden regions of the north.
I sincerely hope you are being payed for this or you are a yoruba masquerading to be igbo. If not, then it is deeply troubling.

Close your mouth too man, I also live outside the country so I am also privileged to have an unbiased, detribalised and out-of-the-box vantage view of the situation. Besides Abuja (FCT) and Lagos (ex-FCT), kindly point out to me any region or state where the FG has invested anything or which receives this so called 'FG ATTENTION' which you and many other indoctrinated ones keep lamenting about?... And by the way, what exactly do you mean by the "FG refusing to invest or refusing to force/compel investors to invest in the region?"...

Investors go to a location on their own freewill based on 2 main things;
1. A secure and enabling environment,
2. A market for their goods or services.

I cited an example of shoprite Warri being attacked and looted by some idiotic youth of one community late last year. When nonsensical acts like that are the norm, it beats my imagination why anyone who claims to be unsentimental, objective and smart should be surprised when similar businesses become reluctant to come to the SS; it's even more ridiculous when some persons choose to accuse the FG or 'other tribes/regions' for the indiscretions of these youths.

Regarding the SS seaports, importers boycotted the SS seaports because of insecurity (pirates and irate youths demanding undue settlements) and that is what killed those ports. I don't need to remind you that Igbos are the biggest importers in Nigeria and these businessmen were not foolish when they began opting to go all the way to Lagos instead of using closeby ports. It wasn't the FG that chased importers to Lagos.

A businessman takes his business to a place where he hopes to make more money; he doesn't site his business in a location to please anyone at the expense of his profits. That is the reason why you have Igbo businessmen for example in every corner of Nigeria doing their thing. Capt. Iheanacho is presently making moves to site his planned refinery in Lagos. As foolish as this may seem for most people, the fact remains that it is his sole prerogative. The man is not a fool, he simply cares more about his profits than he cares about trying to develop the SE or please anyone - he's simply a businessman.

You just asked whether the Badagry port is more viable than constructing ports close to the SE; are you aware the proposed port is a state government initiative?.... Does it make any rational sense to you suggesting that Ambode should build a seaport in the SS or SE?... Like I keep saying, contrary to your claim of not being sentimental, if sentiments aren't obscuring your objectivity, this issue should be a commonsensical matter...

And finally, you asked me whether I'm being paid or whether I am Yoruba, sorry I'm not being paid by anyone and I'm not Yoruba. I just can't quietly watch people making baseless arguments, lamenting unnecessarily and throwing lots of common sense and objectivity to the wind all because of some tribal/ethnic/political sentiments.

Na wa oo!.. Could it be that this devil is still alive?... and from this report, are we supposed to feel sorry for him that he was overthrown?
