bros i hope you know most of them do not have homes in the south inlcuding the yoruba and other southerners.

Well let them buy or build homes in their state of origin then.Zombies.

Jenifa_:
tell them to move back south. 
why would you want to live in a state that's trying to install sharia law and think you can get away with practicing christianity there?
especially in a country like Nigeria where the govt does nothing about it?

how do the yorubas and igbos live? Do they live in quarters or settlements or are they dispersed?
I know I do not live in the north or even in Nigeria right now so my views are not accurate but i'm sure there are people who share my perspective and i'm also trying to learn about others' too.

They are too dumb to realize that.

Jenifa_:
I won't be surprised if hausa people live in the east. They are usually always peaceful you don't even know that they live there.
Even in yorubaland, hausas live there peacefully and adjusted. despite some terrible things yorubas did to them in the past like forcing them into settlements.

igbos need to adjust to their environment. if you live in the north, you have to live differently. It's not your land so you have to know your limits. I'm sure there are also yoruba people living in the north. why aren't they complaining?

this is not saying the violence against igbo christians is acceptable. I will have to blame both sides in this case.
If I were a igbo leader, I would tell igbos to leave the north with immediate effect.
even the US when trouble occurs, they evacuate their citizens from those lands. it's very simple.

I think it is clear that you have not a slight idea of what goes on in nigeria. Hausas live in the East have have been living there for a very long time.There are thousands of them there. You say they are usually always peaceful, they are not and are usually quite until they gain the numbers to start demanding this.Look at what they do in lagos. And you talk about igbos adjusting to their environment, they do like every other southerner.The problem comes when muslims there try to deny them of their right to worship and try to force islam on them. And you say yorubas in the north aren't complaining about the same thing?Where have you been? They are as well, type it into your search engine.smh. And as far as the article goes, those igbos that were killed in jos were regular citizens,they were not targeted because they were Igbo.Other southerns that live in jos were killed as well.The only reason this particular article got like is because the media wants to make it look like things a falling apart.hence, the mentioning of MASSOB,OPC, and separation of the country.

There is no way the SW or SE will join.Neither the Igbos is the SS.The ijaws are on their own.

What baffles me is why would the US even think about coming to "help" fight ND militant when ECOWAS can do so like in other African countries? I don't see or hear about them going to Ivory Coast.I wonder why. Peace bringers indeed.humph

All of this chaos is a product of a people being held against their will.

Ileke-IdI:
If you  care so much about innocent live, then you should revisit history. . . . the history of American's terrorism fight in another man's land.

Why must we borrow outside defense? Why cant we strengthen our security and defense sectors? Why shouldnt we be able to protect ourselves? Must we borrow everything foreign? Foreign hospitals, foreign education, now foreign security? Is Nigeria really that incompetent?  [well, this is another story for another day]

Do you think this America is going to "assist" without something in return? c'mon!

I hate to see what NIgeria will become in 2015, if Shmamerica succeeds with her plot. So the plot thickens. . . .




See what the abokis have started again. . . . see am o!

Now you're starting to make sense.kudos.

Finally! Even the northerners have been doing this for decades now.

jason123:
These guys and Beaf are on their own! I am still waiting to see ijaw country  and her boundaries!

If Ijaw were to have there own country, they would most likely include the land they gave to the itsekiri ages ago,possibly through their continued genocide against the itsekiri. But the army has pretty much secured the creeks and these ijaw guys can't do anything out of their area.

thiscounts:
When I picked up my pen and wrote  in fiction about what dangers ahead of the country[BEHIND THE RAGING FIRE] I never knew what I was writing to be vision.Now I wept asking myself is it only the Literary authors that have eye into the future?Why these politicians can't see and pre-empt the future happenings?Maybe because they dont truly have the passion we have to shape our world to better place to live.

Will my grand children still have a country call Nigeria in years to come?I WEPT!

@ the bolded, you better pray they won't!

Ymodulus:
Hmmmmm

why did you deleted ur original post.it was true.

Wondering why these guys aren't arrested.Also,wondering why ciroma and co. aren't.

isale_gan2:
Very sad development indeed. From frypan to fire. Trusting the evil empire like we were born yesterday. Of course, if Nigeria security forces can work with the Israeli Mossad, we shouldn't be too shocked they are willing to sell us out to be recolonised, this time by the most heartless child-ra.p.ing assassinating bunch of invaders out there. They will do worse to us than they did to the Iraqis. Abu Ghraib will sound like a picnic when they're done with us. I am so disgusted!

Once consolation, they probably planned the whole bombing in the first place. So, it shouldn't take them long to announce the makeup of the bomb. An arrest is another matter.

Of course they are behind the bombing,that is why they are in nigeria so quick. But you know who is to blame for this nonsense, Northerners.If they weren't so power hungry and unfair none of this would be happening so don't blame anybody else.

alj harem1:
lol, acting like a child because i am half igbo and we igbo do not preach hate

i tell you u are the really child here,,, i think you should be the one to grow up with this you hate

First you enter into yoruba business,now igbo?Grow up, u claim kanuri so worry about kanuri business.You run around here all day acting like a child and disrespecting dead people like and imbecile1.Grow up!Cut the nonsense,you should be bigger than that.

alj harem1:

It's 2011 and you're still acting like a child?! Grow up.

Nice photoshop.

[size=15pt]Jos bombing: Igbo youth movement decries govt inaction[/size]

Chris Oji, Enugu 02/01/2011 03:19:00




THE Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) has raised an alarm that if the sponsors of the “carefully orchestrated and pre-meditated callous blood baths” in Jos and Maidugiri are not fished out immediately and brought to justice the authorities would be unwittingly making self determination groups like MASSOB and OPC very popular and very attractive options.

Addressing a press conference in Enugu at the weekend National President of the IYM Comrade Elliot Uko said, “we all know that the ignorant and ill-fed characters that carry out these atrocities do not have the mental capacity and resources to plan and execute these atrocities.

“We remind their hidden sponsors that they are not the only ones tired of one Nigeria; that so many other groups have designed their flags waiting and praying for deliverance from this badly structured Unitary and very corrupt country called Nigeria.

“The IYM is pleading with the Federal Government to fish out the hidden sponsors and bring them to early justice. At the last count 16 Igbo’s had been killed and more than 30 seriously wounded; this evil has continued simply because the executors and planners had always gone scot-free.

He noted that the timing of the current crisis is designed to test the will and capacity of the presidency, suggesting that from the way the presidency handles this, the evil masterminds will either come out in full force to wreck more havoc or give up their evil campaign of bloodshed.

“So the big question is, ‘do we have a weak presidency or do we have a capable presidency we can put our trust in?”

The group noted that how the current crisis in Jos and Maidugiri is handled will go a long way in telling if Nigeria is in capable hands at the moment.

[size=15pt]Plateau CAN tackles Sultan over explosions[/size]

Yusuf Aminu Idegu, Jos 03/01/2011 00:44:00



The youth wing of the Plateau State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has faulted the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, over the multiple bomb explosions that rocked Jos on Christmas Eve.

Its chairman, Pastor Bistu Johnson said: "The reaction of the Sultan on such serious issues affecting human lives is diversionary. While world leaders, the United Nations and African Union (AU) condemned the act of terrorism, the Sultan chose to play the blame game."

He added: "We note the attitude and remarks of the Sultan with dismay and an attempt to divert attention from the main issues. It is simply a ploy to shield the terrorists who have openly claimed responsibility for the attack and absolve them of blame.

"We are, therefore, calling on the Sultan to apologise to the people of Plateau and Nigerians who lost loved ones in the multiple explosions. We are calling on the Sultan to apologise to the peace loving people of Plateau State who have been receiving Jihadist terror attacks!"

This is how you can tell if nigeria is really stepping up the sophistication in homeland security,if they arrest and question TB Joshua for this comment that he made. If they never do then you know they are not making any serious efforts towards security.

Ileke-IdI:
Are they done with Iraq?

Read the national newspaper or better yet turn on a television.I swear you're so clueless.

Ibime:
Goodthief Jonathan just wants his time to steal before handing back to our slavemasters.

Who do you see as the best choice?

Good development. At least Nigeria is admitting their security ain't spit.They call the US after many are killed instead of working with them before hand and learning how to handle such situation and purchase the same investigative materials as the US to carry out reasonable security.

Ileke-IdI:

Wow, is what you said necessary?Grow up.It's new years learn to either get a man or keep it shut because obviously you never know what to let come out of your mouth.

Old news from December 19,2010.

Umm, so?

mikeansy:
Does the recant have anything to do with Jonathan bullying these guys who endorsed Atiku?

This is really unfortunate for democracy.

It seems as if you are going off of the news that salimi posted earlier from Daily Trust News. Daily Trust is a northern news paper and very bias in favor of the north. It is more that likely that the Enugu House of Assembly discredited that statement of endorsement when it was found out.It is likely Daily Trust posted that article before the public discrediting by the House was in papers to make it look as though GJ bullied them into making a "U-Turn". I pointed out a few days ago that only 3 house members were in that meeting with Atiku.This story is a verification that what I said was true.

[size=15pt]Egwu, Obi, Soludo in race for Atiku’s running mate[/size]

•Enugu House recants support for ex-VP

By Emmanuel Nzomiwu, Reporter, Enugu   



Former Ebonyi State Governor, Sam Ominyi Egwu, ex-Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Chukwuma Soludo and Senator Ben Obi have been named among the leading contenders for the vice presidential slot of the Northern Consensus Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Others who are also in the picture include House of Representatives Chief Whip, Emeka Ihedioha and former member of House of Representatives, Nze Chidi Duru.

Apart from Ihedioha, the other contenders accompanied Atiku to Enugu on Wednesday for a meeting with members of the House of Assembly, who are statutory delegates to primaries of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform under which the former vice president wants to actualise his presidential ambition.

Atiku told journalists in Enugu that the choice of who runs with him should be based on consensus of the Igbo Political Forum, just the same way the Northern Leaders Political Forum (NLPF), chose him as the consensus candidate.

A competent source in the Atiku Campaign Organisation, South-East zone, however told Sunday Independent that the running mate may be chosen from among Egwu, Soludo, Obi, Ihedioha and Duru.

The source said that Egwu and Obi may have an age over the others, going by their antecedents and contacts.

“You know Egwu was a former governor of Ebonyi for eight years and after that he served as minister for some years. So, he has contacts with former governors and ministers. He has been an active player in PDP. On the other hand, Ben Obi was a former senator. But not only that, Obi ran as Atiku’s running mate when the former vice president was forced out of PDP to run in then Action Congress (AC) in 2007. They worked well then and so he could be retained,” our source stated.

Another source said that Soludo may come in as candidate of former vice president Alex Ekwueme who was saddled with the responsibility of producing Atiku’s running mate under the arrangement between Northern and South-East leaders.

[b]Meanwhile, members of Enugu State House of Assembly have recanted their support for Atiku, re-stating their commitment to the candidature of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for the 2011 presidential election.

According to a statement signed by chairman of House Committee on Information, Marcel Njeze, they said the clarification has become necessary in order to correct the misrepresentation of facts following the campaign visit which the former vice president paid to House members.

The statement reads in part: “The attention of Enugu State House of Assembly has been drawn to today’s (Friday) newspaper reports to the effect that the House has endorsed former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for the forthcoming primaries of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“We want to categorically state that nothing can be farther from the truth. While it is true that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar visited members of the House on Thursday, December 30, 2010 to seek their support, at no time did we endorse him.


“For the purposes of clarity, we want to re-state our commitment to the candidature of His Excellency, President Goodluck Jonathan. We are part of the larger Enugu State under PDP leadership of Governor Sullivan Iheanacho Chime which had unanimously endorsed President Jonathan both for the primaries and the general elections. Our position remains constant.

“In his response speech to Atiku’s speech, the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Eugene Odoh said; ‘we are men of integrity and will not do anything contrary to the wishes of the people’” the members stated.

The lawmakers re-emphasised that they would vote in line with the known position of the Government and people of Enugu State who have never hidden their total support for President Jonathan.

Daily Trust is a northner newspaper.A lot of the news is usually bias in favor of the north.

No prayer needed,only action from the "governing" body.

9ijaMan:
Ima Niboro of NL (aka Beaf/Faeb) and madam Ma_J_Blige, Al-Jazeera's report has just be confirmed by GEJ himself even when your namesake issued a statement denying it. I've always stated that one should not believe anything coming from team GEJ until they deny it. See link for yourself.

marcdunu:
This Ima Niboro of a boy should have been sacked ages ago!!!!!!!!

Even though we both agree on a need for an address to the nation by GJ through broadcasting, i'd have to disagree with you on what GJ said or didn't day. He said the Jos and Abj bombings where linked;however, he never said they were done by Buko Harem as Aljazeera claimed so there is no false hood yet in the announcement of the presidency about this issue.

Ma_J_Blige:
^^^

Just because you are able to make a few dis jointed statements doesnt mean you are making sense or thinking properly. Highest man in the "lands" indeed, which "lands"?

Disjointed .looks coherentto me lol. In the modern day the president of a country is usually considered the highest man of the country of land. I put land(s) to suggest that there are nations with in nigeria such and Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa,Edo,Gwari, Tiv,Jukun land with in the amalgamated nigeria;however, GJ is the president and Top man of all(under nigeria).

marcdunu:
You should use your own brain. Nobody is getting up to Atiku on their knees. We are simply part of an agreement in PDP as the ruling party to ensure security for all Nigerians post election. We were major architects of zoning and we are simply sticking to it because it guarantees security and participation of all. There is nothing wise in jettisioning zoning for Jonathan. He is not even special as a candidate; so what is the wisdom in your action and what is the point of the most foolish people around asking others to use their brain.

Without zoning, nobody outside Bayelsa will know who Jonathan is.

BTW is you think ACN truly have the muscle or Fashola is that popular; ask him to take the country by storm and run for Presidency now!!! Lets see if he will win. It is one thing for a Yaruba party to takeover the SouthWest; it is quite another to take over Nigeria.

PDP is the only true National Party.

Is it not YOUR Atiku that said that there was no zoning agreement during OBJ's first term, that the zoning agreement for presidency started in 2003? If that is so,according to him, there was only a 4 year agreement which OBJ did his 4(under the agreement), the north's term ends in 2011 so according to him now is the term for the SE. And it that is the case also that each zone should have 8 years, then under the agreement OBJ should have been allow a third term(maybe thats why he went for it) since under the agreement he only completed 4 years.If they didn't agree with OBJ continuing presidency then candidacy should have been given to another person from the SW to complete the remaining for years(under the agreement) so that the full 8 years(under the agreement) could be completed.
