HopeAtHand:
Another day, another Igbo element takes to social network to showcase the stuff Igbo people are made of.

Is this how they manifest brotherhood, by being blind to mismanagement and mindless stealing of a nations resources.see how they shamelessly support corrupt Igbos and Igbo-related persons.

GEJs undoing was Stella Oduah, NOI and Alison-Madueke..Those women led the naive president astray.GEJ mismanaged Nigeria and Igbos still wanted him to continue till Nigeria died from econmoic

The Igbos believe that Hausa and Yoruba have been chopping alone in Nigeria, so GEJ govt was a means for them to chop their share and see if they can catch up on Hausa..is that how its supposed to be?...see how they defended Oduah and now Alison-Madueke and you wonder if this people can be trusted with Presidential power.

Empty vessels make the loudest noise... Please and please again, do not heap the entire Igbos into this generalisation as a people who have no morals or common sense. It is mainly the empty vessels that you see online making all these noise with some cringe inducing embarrassing posts. The real hardworking and well meaning Igbos are in their places of business and work getting themselves busy; Igbos generally dont bother themselves with politics and I can assure you that there is a larger population of Igbos who do not support the filth which Jonathan's government represented. But unfortunately, since these well meaning ones never bother about politics, their opinions can easily be overshadowed by the empty vessels for obvious reasons.

Do not judge/define an entire tribe based on the opinions of a few cretins you meet online.

LeOstrich:
Le fool, I will forever keep exposing your fake messiahs and prophets of change.

I am the one that exposed the fact that Hausa language was never part of the northern NIGERIAN curriculum when your goat herding cow farker Buhari claimed to have written WAEC.

This is just the tip.

We will leave you fools wallowing in disgrace and shame with that truth that you so abhor.

Zombie

What exactly is your problem young man?.. What kind of human just wakes up insulting people without a clear reason?.. Are you so frustrated?

Hehehehehe

This statement sums it all.... How I wish other die-hard Jonathanians would just accept this reality.

Hehehe... Where are the wailers of south eastern origin, warm meal is ready again..

APC candidate nullified yesterday for being a 'youth'... PDP candidate disqualified today for having no qualification

Now that the hunter is about to be hunted, who will bell the cat?

Funny thing is, it is mainly non-Imolites that are carrying Rochas' matter on their head.

Lol... smh

It's actually a move done to save cost. Effectively, the petroleum ministry has just been covertly scrapped by Bubu; but in order to silence the dissidents, Bubu has announced himself as the minister and the NNPC GMD as the minister for state.

saintkash:
and LAI MOHAMMED single handededly handled
and dismantled the well oiled PDP propaganda
machine;

I love the fact that Rotimi is on that list to keep some
people SAD for a long time to come."

Lai mohamed na one man squad; he was already dismantling things alone even b4 apc was formed.

Anyway, let me take a quote from Tyrion Lannister:

"A leader who kills those devoted to him does not inspire devotion..... if PMB wants to rule successfully, he needs to inspire devotion, a lot of it"

In essence, if PMB had abandoned a person like Amaechi or Lai mohamed who have stuck out their necks for him to be where he is today, karma would have dealt seriously with him; this is a fact!

No government can be made up of saints alone, you need saints and foot soldiers!

meolaniyi:
Please I have arguing with my friend and he told me that Imo people are richer than Anambra people. I want to know the truth from Igbos. Please help me to get this answer.
I love Igbos I know they will tell me the truth.
Give evidence please

In less than 30 seconds, you can get the answer you seek from google by searching GDP values. But that's if it is really the response you truly want by this thread.

LeOstrich:
MagicBishop dont fark around

how foolish is this your nonsense post now?

foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Are you okay?

what is the meaning of what you have just said and what link does this or anything that has happened today have with what I said?...

Omambala1:
I wish to highly sympathies with the following individuals, they were very hopeful, they sang the change song like a bird, but that hope has just been quashed! Too bad

CHARLES SOLUDO

PAT UTOMI

TAM DAVID WEST

OBY EZEKWESILI

FEMI FALANA

ABIKE DABIRI


Please you can add others. This are the ones i can remember

Lvlink:
There is still chances they could make it!

Others from their states have already been chosen, so maybe these guys may be employed in other capacities, but not as ministers.

PointB:

31 And when the people saw #thelist, there was loud outcry and gnashing of teeth in the land, and several people rented their clothes and put ashes on their foreheads to mourn the death of change! And they asked one another in loud groan, "What manner of change is this?"

...The sworn enemies of change, the same set of people who fought hard to ensure that change was not born, the same people who criticised and ridiculed change from the day he was brought forth into this world up till date, isn't it ironical that it is now these same set of jesters that are hurriedly mourning the death of CHANGE?

But unfortunately for these jesters and henchmen of king Herod, CHANGE is born and CHANGE is here to stay; and there is nothing these lovers of thieves can do about it.

The wailers would soon die over the inclusion of Amaechi in this list. I've had several wailer friends whom I haven't spoken with for ages calling my phone out of the blue and asking what Amaechi's name is doing in the list. This thing pain dem die, walahi!!

Lol... Nothing we no go hear

cheruv:
Tomorrow you'd lie to us how much Igbo you're

What are you talking about?

melzabull:
In a nutshell, when your tribe is being slandered and rubbished with lies, falsehoods, half-truths, propaganda, etc you don't defend rather you watch on or better still cheer them up? waow!

last bolded, you are against myopic Igbos and supremacists but you adore myopic yoruba and supremacists. You are quick to jump on any Igbo thread and shout 'Igbo supremacist' but I have never seen you on any yoruba supremacist thread challenging them like you are doing now, how else can self-hate be defined? and you wonder why people doubt your Igboness?

Since you feel its 'childish' why don't you completely stay away from every of such thread Including this?

That you are pro-apc does that mean you loose every sense of reasoning or ethnic belonging??

OK, kontinuu

My stance is very simple, I would not be found joining issues with the yorubas you talk about involved in these tribal fights (else I would be guilty of the very thing I preach against). I will only caution my own people not to join them in swimming in the filthy waters. I believe there are matured yorubas who should caution their own people.

wisdomguy4u:
The constitution of Nigeria is the ground root of all government policy. Any government policy which does not directly or indirectly conform with the constitution is null and void.

The delay of ministerial nomination is excusable on the ground that the constitution never stipulated a time frame on which such nomination should be made. Personally, I think this is a dangerous loophole in the constitution and need to be amend to prevent any dictator-like government in our democratic pace.

Subsequently, the recent submission of 21 ministerial names to the senate for approval is inexcusably folly and unconstitutional. The constitution of Nigeria made it apparent under Section 147(2)and (3), these section and its subsections provides as follows:

SEC 147(2): " Any appointment to the office of Minister of Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such offices is confirmed by the senate, be made by the president".

SEC 147(3) "Any appointment under subsection (2) of this section by the president shall be in conformity with federal character as provide by constitution: Provided that in giving effect to the federal character the president shall appoint at least one minister from each state, who shall be an indigene of such State.

Buhari's nomination of 21 persons for the ministerial post does not in anyway comply with the above constitutional provision. The constitution provide that the senate cannot approve a ministerial list in which the individuals nominated does not cover the 36 states of Nigeria. The 21 persons nominated was not appointed from each state of Nigeria, and on that ground should be tantamount to null and void and therefore dead on arrival.

Most people might argue that the 21 ministerial list was not all that it is, that buhari will sooner or later submit more list for senate approval. But, as far as the parent law of Nigeria is concern, such action is unacceptable. The constitution only recognize a ministerial list in which appointment is made from at least one minister from each state.

In line with the above, if buhari is not ready yet to present a ministerial list that conform with the constitution ( from each state), then he should continue with his minister-less government which is on its own a loophole in the constitution. Any attempt by the senate to approval buhari's 21 ministerial list will circumvent our beloved constitution.

Lol... No Nigerian president has ever appointed all ministers at once.

melzabull:
Honestly this is what irks me so much about that guy obailala. He is igbo but 99% of his comments are anti-igbo, even when obvious Inustice is being done. I have never seen this sort of self-hate In my life

@bolded, he is rather the not very smart and foolish ones too who will rather join other tribes to insult Igbos. I have told him before that he is making so much effort at being more Nigerian than the N in naira, whereas this is the same annoying guy that has never challenged any anti-igbo or pro-yoruba comment despite all the tribal slurs against Igbo on this forum.

He and Joe Igbokwe are on same pedestal, fools that you all never see defend their tribe even in the face of obvious persecution but will rather join others to disparage Igbos.

#spits

My dear, listen and listen very well, there is a reason why you will not find me losing my cool because of tribal slurs against Igbo (especially in the nairaland's silly Igbo vs Yoruba war). I know who I am (great man), I know what I am (great man), I know what I am made of (greatness) and I know where I am going to (the top). Some anonymous iidiot out there making a tribal slur against my tribe does not in any way change my status or the greatness of my people. Therefore, you will not find me dignifying such lowlifes with a response (I will not be any different from them if I do). Someone has to be the bigger man and I find it rather childish jumping in to defend every distasteful slur I come across online, I am not a woman and neither am I a child. Besides, the only reason they keep coming back with the tribal slurs is because people like you keep responding to the morons, thereby prolonging a needless and unproductive tribal war.

Regarding my perceived anti-Igbo stance, you need to understand that I am anti-GEJ, so it doesn't come to me as a surprise that you perceive most of my comments as anti-Igbo; that is quite understandable. However, I would make it clear here, I am not anti-Igbo; rather, I am against some myopic-Igbos and I am also against Igbo supremacists (just like this thread stinks of).

The funny part of this clowning by the senators is that Buhari might just surprise them by appearing for screening, and they would be too scared to ask him a single question.

CSTR2:
I am not just talking about this thread.
But since you claim to be detribalized than Nnamdi azikiwe, this thread definitely does not show it.
What could be more pro-Nigeria than merit? Even at that, you still had to disagree just because igbos may end up dominating.

I have never supported the quota system... and I also dont support your continuous insinuations that only Igbos are the victims of this.

xtrorse:
Thus far it was not insinuated that Igbos are the only people affected by the Quota System polity. But the fact remains that such policies were put in place to checkmate the aspirations/progress of Igbos especially. Q.E.D!

Lol.. you dont give up do you?

xtrorse:
See a previous year's Unity Schools Admission Cut-off Marks for your comparison:

Summary:
Anambra - 139
Imo - 138
Ebonyi - 112 (the odd one out)
Abia - 130
Enugu - 134

Why can't we just agree on my simple point?... From the summary you just gave, why can you not see for the full list that :
Delta - Male(131) Female(131)
Lagos - Male(133) Female(133)
Ogun - Male(131) Female(131)?

I have never supported the quota system and I always condemned it as the greatest recipe to disaster/backwardness in Nigeria. You can go through my posts to confirm that. But I think the title of this thread which insinuates that it is an injustice to Igbos is rather unfair to people of the other states I just listed for instance.

xtrorse:
Stop amusing yourself by arrogantly assuming a mien of objectivity when it's obvious you're not far from a hypocrite.

You don't need to claim Igbo to make a valid point.
Did you bother to raise the faintest voice to challenge the political appointments thus far?

If you're well trained from home you would castigate the wicked Quota System put in place of merit to short-change certain people.

Igbos don't need your silly talk; take it to your preferred tribe!

I have never supported the retrogressive quota system in my life. But I do not think it's a nice thing to insinuate that only Igbos are affected by the senseless policy (just like the title of this thread says). My point is very simple on this and I can't understand what's too difficult to understand in that.

CSTR2:
I am not someone you can bullshitt your way through.
Nigeria is a nation of tribes. There are always different interests playing.
Even your national leaders are often tribal. The most de-tribalized Nigerian knows when to play the ethnic card. It is a matter of survival.
I have gone through your posts, there is no semblance of igboness in it.
I have never seen you defend igbo interests even when it is the right thing to do.
You are either an imposter or not very smart.

So in your peculiar wisdom, the title of this thread is what you call 'smart' and a defence of Igbo interests?... You are free to enjoy your fools paradise with those restricted in your ideology!

ArodewilliamsT:
Why do enjoy deceiving yourself? you will become Igbo the day my dog becomes a Horse.

Enjoy your fools paradise.. I don't owe you or anyone an explanation.

chuna1985:
Igbo states have the highest cut off Mark's...or are u blind

Abia 65
Akwa Ibom 63
Anambra 66
Delta 65
Edo 63
Enugu 65
Imo 66
Lagos 65
Ogun 65
Ondo 64
Osun 64

Chuna1985, there is no doubt Imo and Anambra consistently have the highest cut-offs and are considered the educationally most advantaged states in Nigeria, but taking a look at that list above, it is clear that states like Delta, AkwaIbom, Lagos, Osun, Ogun etc also have considerably similar cut-off points to Imo and Anambra when you consider the entire list.

So my point is simple, can we please for once, put into consideration the feelings of others when we open such threads and make it look like it is only Igbos that are discriminated by some of these retrogressive policies?... A honest question for you, how do you think a hard-working person from Delta state for instance would feel about the title of this thread?... What do you think would be the genuine perception of this hard-working Delta man about Igbos when he reads this title?

CSTR2:
You are not an igboman. Your post history says otherwise.
No matter how de-tribalized you claim to be, there are times when you just have to be pro-igbo.
Sorry, you are not an igbo man.

If i want to be pro-Igbo, it doesn't mean I have to throw away my sense of reasoning for it; there are certainly other ways to be pro Igbo other than openly being an annoying tribalist.

The title of this thread says "Another Injustice Against Igbos" and I think that is an unecessary tribal statement that would raise resentment against Igbos especially when it is clear that lots of non-Igbos are also victims in the issue in question. What else would you term a pro-Igbo argument if not for my expression of dissaproval over the unecessary racist title?

Can you imagine the mofo judging someone about sinning and praising God yet he spends his time calling someone else extremely ugly and disgusting?
