Igboesika: I know you are an imposter. Its written all over your post Denying your tribe just to cause havoc won't help you.
LMAO!! Typical! Why am I not surprised that you'll go there? You expect me, an Annang man, to blindly support you? Bros, do we look stupid to you? Now you, an Igbo man, claim I'm an imposter. Sorry dude, if the truth hurts, suck it up and move on. Or go give a live power transformer a lap dance.
Igboesika: And what steps have you taken to actualise your dream ?
What the word I'm looking for....... oh yeah "COWARDICE"
And what dream will that? By the way, I wont use the term "CORWARD" to describe an average SS man. After all, a SS man had the balls to end that disastrous Civil War while your....uhmmm, "hero" ran to Abidjan. And we've proven to be outspoken in all our agitations, from the onshore/offshore dichotomy to the derivations for oil to the Niger Delta insurgency. Can't say same for you loud mouth IPOBians.
Igboesika: There are some questions that have obvious answers. So, asking such questions is laughable. Again, which people do you refer as ND?
Isnt it funny that you demand for the recognition of a pipedream while you refuse to recognize ND/SS states and their ethnic groups? A region that ACTUALLY exist?
What the word I'm looking for.......oh yeah "HYPOCRISY".
Igboesika: You are just one voice out of millions of people of Nig Delta that are seeking for freedom. Anyway, what you are doing is normal because, even in a family, there is always one person who frequently disagree with every issue. Afterall, there wouldn't be any word like " saboteur " if not people like you
And you, and Igbo man, speaks for us Akwa Ibomites and Cross Riverians.....care to tell us who gave you such authority? Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. The term "PARASITIC LEECHES" won't be there without folks like you.
anaton: Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers are coastal areas and are part of Biafraland.On limited landmass,every Biafran must not relocate to the homeland;that's why we are preaching for peaceful dissolution of this contraption call Nigeria.
Abeg abeg leave Akwa Ibom and Cross River out of Biafra! Wetin?? Did we beg to join you folks?
I think Field Officers are recruited from the ranks of the Military and the Police Force (and they select the very best). They once recruited publicly for analysts and ICT Techies once though.
What's with all these media trials? How about you folks wait for the VP led committee to complete its investigation and submit its report before you condemn the DG.
malware: Did I hear you say societal crime? Cam you define this societal crime for me please? For your information, North is more peaceful than the south, quote me anywhere.
Just tell me one crime or criminal that is being celebrated in the North and I will cite ten for you in the South.
Baby factory is a good example of societal crime in South/East.
Kidnapping is another one
Culltists live in the society and they always fight supremacy battle with innocent people losing their lives in the process.
Cocaine pushing is not on your crime list ba?
Human trafficking is normal in your society ba?
And how about religious fanatism, drug addiction, terrorism, pedophilia/child abuse, homosexuality? Oh wait....that's you guys!!
malware: Ohh I see, quote me again when you guys determine whether cultism, ritual killings, baby factory and kidnappings are right or outright bullshit.
No matter how civilized a nation may be, it will not the fact that you cannot get rid of crime. The North's issue is a societal one that can easily be resolved or at least minimized if your leaders invest in education. But come to think of it, your region ruled this nation for 40+ years (and wrecked it), your leaders introduced corruption and got stinking rich be looted its coffers, yet your region wallows in abject poverty with your people easily controlled with the basics like food by your political and imams.
malware: But you accepted everything they brought to you, including religion and their ways of life. So who's more gullible?
You still don't get it. So let me break it down: YOUR PEOPLE CANNOT REASON FOR THEMSELVES. That is why they are easily malleable and controlled by your leaders. Give an instruction down South, irrespective of geopolitical region, and be certain that a considerable number of people will sift through it to determine if it's right or outright bullshyte. Why we don't initiate religious fuelled crisis here.
malware: The Britons know the reason why they handed over leadership of this country to us. Moreover, they still identify with us and see us as the owners of Nigeria because they know what we have upstairs.
Nigerian military under us has always distinguish itself among its counterparts in the African region.
Of course the Brits knew what they were doing when they handed power over to you. YOU'RE EASILY CONTROLLED! Like sheeps being led. Easy. And it still shows till date. Your people are too gullible and definitely not enlightened.
And the military, plus paramilitary and intelligence services, under your regions rule TOTALLY SUFFERED. Broken down and absence of equipments, no basic body protection, poor signals equipments, lack of tactical training, etc. Leaders like IBB practically destroyed the equipment, Abacha ruined the Army. Kudos goes only Shagari. Oh btw, did I mention extremely poor morale plus total suspicion among the ranks of the services. Is that what you call serving with distinction?
It was only under the leadership of Southerners that the military was totally reformed to a respectable fighting for. OBJ's administration restored professionalism and began the arduous task of refitting the services. But it was even under GEJ that we saw even more from the massive purchase of better weapons and equipment not only for the military buy every other security and intelligence services, adoption of better tactical training on COIN and Counter Terrorism. Hell, equipments purchased is what aided that slowpoke Buhari in his war on terror!
malware: You didn't tell me how a teacher who could not read her certificate manages to spend reasonable number of years in her career. What has she been teaching her students and how was she able to pass promotion exams?
Meanwhile, you are just making reference to a fabricated story about the North. Who told you North doesn't have schools? Who told you that Northerners are illiterates? Do you know that illiteracy is itself a relative term? Have you ever heard the story of a professor who called a boatman illiterate and eventually got drowned in the river while the boatman swims to safety when the boat sinks?
You just are a learner, and you choose to confine yourself to that small niche of yours. Leave that hamlet and tour the country, you'll appreciate every region.
Fabricated story?!! Dude are you fvcking kidding me?? I was born up North, and I worked particularly in the North East ( Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe, and Bauchi). You illiteracy rate is TOTALLY ALARMING. Diseases that have been eradicated down south (polio) are still prevalent up north. Your poverty level is the highest in the country. Thanks to you illiteracy, your people find it extremely difficult to reason AT ALL. That's what your leaders have always wanted. Yet your region has ruled this country, wrecking it for FORTY PLUS YEARS.
I've seen examples of your region's ineptitude & incompetence play out in the Police. Incompetent Northern officers automatically get rapid promotions and plush postings while better educated and tactically sound officers stagnate or are relegated to career killing postings during the military era. No wonder a lot of Northern military officers failed their promotion exams during the OBJ era.
nkwuocha: Lol. Bro leave that guy. This people are just pathetic.I'm surprise at the sudden outburst. If you see Foreign affairs own nko? This lopsided employment is going on in all the juicy ministries and nothing is going to be changed about it unfortunately. This is Nigeria.
Bros, I no go lie to you. I have witnessed a level 12+ hausa official that was finding it very very difficult to fill a bank opening account .
You're joking, right? So it's the North without schools and its high illiteracy and poverty rates plus Almajiri issues that produces brilliant officers?Those are the clowns better than their far better educated colleagues from the South?? Absolute RUBBISH
LordVoldemort: I don't understand this logic that every state must be represented.
We are all Nigerians and we should see ourselves as one and not Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa
There is no way everybody will be represented equally
If we look @ recruitment under the last administration you will also find a lot this issues there.
Because it wasn't raised then doesn't mean it did not happen
TeamoneNigeria
Absolutely CRAP!! During the previous administration, it used to be 5-7 candidates PER STATE. But 41 for just one Northern state??!! Haba!! This is outright CORRUPTION!!
kolnel: If Jonathan has performed incredibly well He wouldn't have been chased out like a chicken He was as weak as a tired d1ck And he favored embezzlement Everything about Jonathan was wrong in the first instance He was trying to form his own army with niche of dubious characters that only favored their pockets
The records are all out there for everyone to see. Compared to most previous regimes/administration, GEJ outperformed them in every sector from the economy to infrastructure, agriculture to Healthcare, education to power, etc. He even made his mark in the fight against corruption when he exposed and fought against the rot in the petroleum sector. That, in my opinion, was the genesis of his downfall, especially when he terminated subsidy payments that led to hikes in prices of basic commodities. He's only weakness was his humility to a fault, and the security issues in the North East didnt help his case. Still his administration is practically responsible for the transformation of our security services and the HIGHEST purchaser of military armaments and systems (Shagari comes 2nd).
As far as I'm concerned, GEJ was the very best Nigeria's had till date. But WE are our own worst enemies. We're so so gullible that we don't sieve through the bullshyte fed us to get to the truth. For those up North, it's way worse as illiterates can't reason for themselves.
Lordsocrates: Can you imagine, corruption has eaten so deep that someone having 18mn plus 16,000 pounds is viewed by Poverty ravaged Nigerians as nothing.. can you imagine what corruption has turned our mindsets into.
When a member of Parliament in the UK resigned for less than £1000 pounds he had/used without good explanations...
shame on u dumb commenters...
Pls do tell how having 18mil plus £1000 (imagine!!) in one's possession is corruption. Is it a crime for anyone to keep money at home? Do you have any proof that the money was stolen?
Oh btw a few weeks ago I had a bit over £1000 in my possession. Oya, go and blow whistle na.
Everfrank: GEJ should maintain his golden silence or risk his dirty dossier being brought to the fore. It would be foolish to think that PMB doesn't know that all the monies traced to Patience belonged to him.
Why should he maintain his silence? He has every right to publish his memoir. So PEJ had money in the courts. EFCC tried to seize and run down his name using the media; the courts ruled otherwise. So what?
SGANIVA: gej what of betrayal to igbos, people that sacrifice every thing for you , but nothing to be proud of, except enriching few greedy politicians from the zone. we have cried many years of infrastructural decay.we thought you are the messiah but look at how you have demoted politically in Nigeria.
Please do tell how GEJ betrayed the SE. His administration is the only one TILL DATE were the SE was fully represented at the Federal level and he invested in Federal infrastructure. Enough of the ingratitude.
sarrki: Gej mistakes was when he aligned with the old guard
He was loved by the masses north and south we all felt he was part of us
He messed up the whole thing
It was the exact opposite. GEJ did not align with the old guard, and that contributed to his downfall as the likes of OBJ, Danjuma, etc threw their weight behind Buhari.
Damseldammie: The guy is not to be blamed because whoever you call to butcher & grill for you, will definitely take his portion either in raw or grilled form.
Asides, may be her expectations as per presents from her guests were cut short which made her not to being able to balance the Àsun guy .... Shameless being#teamempty barrel
You can't be serious at all. The thief of a butcher steals the HEAD of the goat, yet you expect her to pay in full?? Haba!! He can take his report to Buhari for all we care. Useless thief.
Goke7: I thought he voluntarily handed over, it's now certain this man was forced to relinquish power so where is the heroics from?
Jona too de fall hand sha!
READ THE ARTICLE AGAIN. This time, read it S.L.O.W.L.Y. Comprehension shouldn't be that difficult. Maybe then you'll understand that GEJ's disappointment stemmed from the point that 40% of eligible Nigerian voter were disenfranchised during the 2015 elections. Still he (GEJ) bowed out with grace and dignity.
Frankly GEJ is the BEST and MOST-DEMOCRATIC. president Nigeria ever had TILL DATE.
Originalsly: ....I don't know how they work... tell me... do they have relatives/non employees handling their cash? ... having free access to where it is kept?...and no accountability? ...do you even know what you're talking about?
Care to provide PROOF that the money was handled by employees' relative? Cos last I checked it was ONLY NIA agents stationed in that flat. Please I don't do conspiracy theories like you.
