maestroferddi:
Must you be gross and obstinate?

Why are you whining like a petulant child? You attempt to cast infantile aspersions on the Igbos failed miserably and you shamelessly chose to default to victimhood.

We really don't blame people like you. Nobodies who are given to making uncharitable comments about the Igbos all in a futile bid to mask unbridled envy and insecurity.

Now I do not know where you are coming from but I must confess, you really are getting me confused here. Or are you basing you comments on the words of the confused girl I quoted? . Can you please kindly point out to where I made an uncharitable comment about the Igbos in this thread?

maestroferddi:
So all people like you do is wasting your time trying to sniff up sundry forms of senselessness about the Igbos, abi?

If you really understand the psyche of an average Igboman, you would be weeping for yourself...

First of all, I did not create this thread, I was only commenting on the senseless headline which I saw in the newspaper image. Secondly, If you understand the english language, then I'm sure you shouldnt mixing things up about my stance.

melzabull:
you are a blatant fool. APGA is dead yet it produced the same bastad called rochas. Its dead yet has a sitting g governor in Willie Obiano. Its dead yet has a HOR member in Taraba state.

Regarding adopting another party's candidate, its part of Democratic process and praticse. APGA isn't the only party that adopted, even labour (LP) adopted theirs.

You say cockerel was used to prepare pepper soup, what about the broom? is it not also to pack rubbush since it was used to sweep away and disgrace the janjawweeed called fayemi (a sitting governor) from office by a shameful 16-0 TKO?

ewu Gambia!

melzabull:
...and you believed the comment because it was alleged to come from someone you detest? and this ijiot says he is Igbo yet he holds on to such disparaging remarks about his people without even bothering to ascertain whether or not its true. your mother must be the number 1 prostitute in igboland.
useless foooll

Melzabull or whatever you call yourself, it is obvious you are frustrated for one reason or the other. But let it be known to you that I do not have anything to do with your predicaments.

Now your frustration has definitely gotten into your brain and messed things up upstairs because I still cannot understand how your brain or even the brain of a cretin could interpret my criticising questions to mean that I agree with the distasteful 'prostitute' statement.

I really feel sorry for the parents that had you, I can only imagine how painful and depressing it would be to have a grown up child that is mentally unstable. Being a girl child even makes matters worse; I also really pity the man who settles for a person in your condition.

winniz:
You ain't even sure but you were already jumping into conclusion.

Like I said, an audio recording was released which bears a voice similar to his voice. Until I hear a refutal from his side, it is only normal for me to assume it is his voice... and I ask you again in plain english, are you refuting the audio being circulated?

winniz:
I already saw the audio before I quoted you, who told you that voice belong to Nnamdi Kanu?

I dont know, is it?... I haven't seen any refutal.

egift:
Since Fayose became Governor, what has he done aside buying kpomo?

On a serious note, this is exactly what I expect. Everyone's now teying to be like PMB, every government is now in a competition to out-do each other in prudence. Way to go!

winniz:
Which Nnamdi Kanu made that statement? He never made that false statement either.

There is a youtube audio recording of kanu struggling to explain what he meant by the senseless statement. Google is your friend.

xtrorse:
You're simply irredeemable for dare stating that the call for self-determination was recently re-awakened!

Once again, the call for self-determination is not a crime and should never mean bringing ridicule to a tribe.

Do well to direct your allegiance to OduaArewanistan republic or else be ready for more heartaches...

I'm sorry but my allegiance is to Nigeria my country and not some xenophobic hate themed republic which is being promoted by some albino in london and his confused followers.

xtrorse:
You appear to be the lost fellow here for dare dragging the Igbos into your misery.

What correlation has self-determination got to do with hate for a man? Is the call for self-determination a recent phenomenon? Are you alright at all?

This is not the first time you have exhibited your callousness and anger at the Igbos for not following your line of reasoning.

You've been in the habit of defending the indefensible with your arrogant and selfish stance against the Igbos.

There's freedom of association and so do well to channel your negative energies towards consolidating your OduaArewanistan republic...

Oh pleeease! it's no news that the idea of self determination was only re-awakened after GEJ lost an election and PMB took over. So please save that your weak storyfor kids on this forum.... and once again, self determination doesnt mean bringing ridicule to your tribe.

xtrorse:
It's honourable not to make frivolous statements like equating the call for self-determination to being seen as a ridicule...

Are you lost or what?... My comment was directed at a person who was indirectly defending the previous government's expenses on October 1 celebrations... Seeking self determination does not mean making ridiculous arguments in defense of the indefensible all because you think you have a do-or-die duty to oppose the government of a man you hate so much... Self determination indeed! all because a man lost an election... There is a point where you cross the line and start bringing ridicule to yourselves... and like the popular saying, "It is the brother of a madman that bears the shame"

Abeg my people, wetin be FUT?... I only knew elrufai as a former FCT minister, and as an FCT minister, I wonder what business he has/had with organising or budgetting for independence celebrations so I wonder where the Op is heading to with this thread.

For God's sake, wetin dem use swear for these jonathanians sef?

xtrorse:
Mister, that last line of yours is totally uncalled for just because you're still bitter that a people have the guts to seek a separate existence.
You don't need to claim to be an Igbo man to make such frivolous, provocative statements in a public forum.

Tell, in the past decades which other tribe other than the Igbos have so clamoured for the restructuring of the polity to ensure probity, accountability, justice, equity and fair play?

Well I'm sorry, but in this particular context, I just had to say it to express exactly how irritated I was. I don't have a problem with people seeking a separate existence or whatever you call it, but when the actions of these people brings ridicule to me, you can't blame me for feeling incensed... and if I didn't identify my origins, my statement would have simply come across as the words of another one of the silly tribalists on this forum.

PointB:
Hehehe, perhaps you didn't read me well the first time.


There it, big and bold.

I can't think for the dullard, he's got paid goons to do that. It's not my fault they are mediocre!

Well, well, well! about the speech being mediocre, that's just your subjective opinion, the opinion of one unknown man, and the last time I checked, your opinion doesn't really matter in the bigger scheme of things Mr Smart... does it?

PointB:
Concise, straight to the point and short is not same as[i] refreshing, inspiring, with bold ideas[/i]. If this speech is your idea of perfection, I'm afraid mediocrity will find a comfortable resting place in your corner!

Well I'm sorry, for me and many Nigerians, there's nothing wrong with the speech; it was a mere independent day speech and not some revolutionary announcement. If you think the speech should have been more bloated with 'stellar' ideas, then maybe you should bring up those ideas here for discussion and some way somehow, someone on this forum who's connected will get your bright ideas to the knowledge of the authorities. This administration is eager to impress, so I'm sure they would welcome such fresh ideas.

PointB:
The above is the Op's final conclusion.

That much I agree. The speech leaves much to be desired especially as it's content is very much a banal rehash of old rhetoric.

The speech was concise and straight to the point... shortest independent day speech ever. I'm sure you would agree with me that we need more action and not speeches?... The speech was perfect!

As for the 2 points the Op pointed out, the Op was wrong, there are no mistakes in the speech. Even the Op has been educated and he has abandoned the thread.

voxpopp:
Kanus statement is on youtube...okorochas own was made before that.

Google it to confirm.

Meanwhile, this thread is not about that. I don't want ethnic bigots to litter it.

Well, regarding the topic, Rochas isn't far from the truth. APGA is a dead regionally restricted party of which the cockerel has been used for peppersoup a long time ago. When a party starts adopting the candidate of another party without any concrete agreements, it can be concluded that the party is irrelevant.

PointB:
You don't see the connection between two despite my emphasis on 'thoroughness' ? I must have overestimated your intelligence. My bad!

I simply asked you if you agreed with the insinuations of the Op about the president's speech being wrong. Instead of answering the simple question, you proceeded to yap about lateness / thoroughness in appointing ministers.

Who exactly needs to be more thorough here?... Maybe if you spent 45 seconds to read through the responses on this thread, you wouldn't be making such quick conclusions based on the Op's erroneous assumptions.

What about the quote about "Igbo women are prostitutes"?... Wasn't that a statement made by Nnamdi Kanu?.... Why does the newspaper have Rochas' name appended to the statement?...

PointB:
That's his prerogative. On the other hand, the duara dullard has plethora of special advisers, and if he prefers Ministers whose job it is to[i] proffer sensible way forward[/i].
The Op raised a valid concern though, what the point of 'thoroughness' when end product is fraught with several of same or similar defect as previous ones?
Buhari doesn't seem to know what he's doing, and those around him are proving nothing but bunch of incompetent sods!

PointB:
Put in another context, why did it take the duara dullard ages to make a list of ministerial nominees, only to have it replete with same old and tired politicians with substantial corruption cases etc dangling around them? Yet, we are to accept that a thorough job was done. Thorough must have a new meaning!

Are you okay?

Where is the connection between your 2 statements and the question I asked?... Why are you sounding like a nagging that can't even define what her grievance is?

PointB:
That's his prerogative. On the other hand, the duara dullard has plethora of special advisers, and if he prefers Ministers whose job it is to[i] proffer sensible way forward[/i].

The Op raised a valid concern though, what the point of 'thoroughness' when end product is fraught with several of same or similar defect as previous ones?

Buhari doesn't seem to know what he's doing, and those around him are proving nothing but bunch of incompetent sods!

So you agree with what the Op has stated?

Tomjazzy2:
Having painstakenly taken a very calm perusal at the draft copy of President Buhari's independence day speech, I can not but begin to wonder who drafted the speech of this importance.

The said speech is regrettebly fraught with some collosal errors, and I make bold to say here, has caused us an international embarassment.

In the second paragraph for instance, the President opined that Nigeria is the "ninth most populous nation" in the world.

Any one who knows elementary government do not need to consult an oracle before realizing that Nigeria is infact, the 7th most populous Nation in the world.

Furthermore, in the 17th paragraph, another laughable error was made, when the President said "...I have ordered a complete audit of our other revenue generating agencies, mainly CBN, FIRS, Customs, NCC..."

Apart from FIRS and Customs mentioned above, surely, neither the CBN nor the NCC qualify as a revenue generating agency. To be sure, both agencies are strickly speaking, regulatory agencies.

Or has the scope of those agencies been reviewed to include generating revenue for the country?

If the President have severally been discribed as some one who takes his time in anything he does, one who pays attention to every detail, then this speech leaves much to be desired.

You are not even a quarter as smart as you think you are and you have just opened a thread to expose your ignorance. I would have just ignored your gibberish and moved on, but there are many like you out there who may innocently not be knowledgeable in these things and who may innocently read your erroneous assumptions and be misled by its content.

Nigeria being the 9th or 7th most populous country in the world is debatable, and I'm sure the people writing those speeches are not nobodies. Secondly, the CBN and NCC are massive revenue generators for the government. A little extra diligence on google would have saved you this trouble.

kheart:
13B + 15b + 14B + 22B, in as much as I don't like Gej and his regime. I don't support the apc govt to be making reference to the past.

Let move on and leave Gej alone.

A lot of people have been asking what the CHANGE is, there is no way we can understand what the CHANGE is without a simple comparison with the past.

doublewisdom:
Only the Igbos seem not afraid to voice their opinions in this administration. Most of the rest are like zombies. Bloody a$$ lickers.

..And what exactly is this opinion if I may ask?... Is it justifying and defending the spending of billions on independence celebration?... is that an opinion or isn't that just pure display of foolishness in public?.... Someone in those pictures actually claimed it was only a yearly event and that since Nigeria was a rich country, there was nothing wrong with such waste; is that what you refer to as opinion?... Whatever happened to just keeping quiet when there is really nothing to say?...

I am a full blooded Igbo man but I am ashamed of most of my tribesmen lately.

naija2dabone:
Just know that the talk about fighting corruption is a ruse

Okay we agree... You win... Buhari has no intentions to fight corruption, he's only there to fill up his account in preparation for the grave. Very brilliant analysis!

That the man builds a big house does not automatically mean he stole the money.. Or Am I getting something wrong here?... Some are already insinuating the house doesnt belong to the governor.

That is not to say the man isn't a thief though...

chinchum:
If this list is true, Falana , Abike Dabiri, Utomi cant make the cabinet because their states quota has been filled already.

Seriously, I just keep wondering where all those names like Falana, Soludo, Festus Odimegwu, Utomi etc. are.

anonimi:
ANYONE who is mischievous can throw UNSUBSTANTIATED figures around to impress gullible folks like you.
QED!!!

If you claim the figures are wrong, produce the real figures. It's now an open challenge to the PDP... I can however confirm that about 10 times the amount presently spent by PMB was spent in 2010 under GEJ; and that was after a massive public outcry when they heard of the original budget of 10billion.

It's not enough to just scream "it's a lie." Tell us what the truth is.

I know PDP was a party of waste and GEJ was exceptional in that regard, but I still don't believe these figures, haba!

Waiting for the PDP to respond to this with proper clarifications...

However, if this is true, may God forgive those who fought hard to ensure a continuation of the rape.
