Funny how they are never in accord, even with the fact that they are from the same town

My grandfather's village is the next after OBJ's.Everybody around the area despise OBJ because of his pride,lack of regard for societal norm and his posee against anything progressive.The 1999 Election is a true reflection of how people like Obj.He lost in front of his house,on his street, ward and local govt.That is the level of his popularity.
Soyinka on the other hand is one of the most popular sons of his town,relegating OBJ to a receding leprosy.

This unending Jos mayhem is à black Eye to Nigeria's failed and visionless leadership.A lasting solution should be created for the Jos people to make the place peaceful for all.

OBJ is a missed opportunity. In life, rarely do you find folks who are this lucky, but OBJ wasted it and sunk Nigeria into a bottomless hole. What would he be remembered for? , Yar'dua ,election malpractice, Odii, Ikeja Cantonment explosion, Bola Ige and NEPA, sleeping with his daughter in-law? The point is that he had all the power and respect to change some of these ills, but  he joined the same cartel that has made Nigeria hell. I listened to Fela  yesterday calling  him out how he handled  elections, and how the economy was looted in 1979 and it seems that nothing has changed.You would  think that  Fela made that song in 2007.

Right on Track and Mark.

He is Not just à waste but the Greatest cool of my Generation.He did nothing to Show for His Years in Power Even After spending some Time As à caged Animal.He almost frustrated tinubu out of office by siezing Lagos States monthly allocation.May God in His Power purnish him from now Till the end of His days.
It is à disgrace to have such Person As à Yorubaman.Omo Ale Yoruba.
May

OBJ is Not just an Hypocrite but the Greatest fraud in Nigeria's history.He created the present confusion in Nigerian politics right now because of His stupidity and ineptitude.

IBB has been the best thing to happen to Nigeria so far-have you see anyone better?

What have you been smoking?I hope its not spiked "Ganja".
IBB brought Nigeria to its knees and we are still suffering from the after-shocks of IBB's tsunami till today.
He institutionalised corruption,neglected infrastructure and paid little attention to the reduction in pwer generation and supply,amongst many other ills during his time.He shouldnt be allowed to return to Abuja, Never again,

What they did was Coup-de-tat, They should all be relieved of their posts,sacked and jailed without any benefit.
They had enough resources and manpower to overthrow GEJ.

I believe in the results I see, not any distant beer palour arguments. Jonathan has produced incredible results so far and stands tall nationally and internationally. It is time for Nigerians to learn to engage their brains rather than agbero tactics. What did those who attempted a coup last week acheive?
If "ineptitude and docility" is defeating the cabal that has held Nigeria to ransome for decades, then please, lets have more of it.

I have to agree with you on this because Jonathan's patience is apying the expected dividends.
Yar'Adua was forced into Nigeria with the hope of relegating GEJ to VP But it seems they fell short of doing that.Nigerians are now clamouring for SMY to appear on national TV.He cant because he is still in the air-ambulance at the airport.
Jonathan is doing the right thing by waiting aside while the evil-doers go at each other.
The whole saga will play itself out when SMY is certified unfit to rule by both American,Nigerian,German and Saudi Arabian doctors.It'll give Jonathan the needed time and strength to go for the kill.

Watch OUT

Chief Tony Anenih is completely retarded and should be sent to psychiatric hospital.
I hope Oshiomole will reduce him to nothing in edo state.

Look the President is completely incapacitated and He cant Even do anything on His own except Lie on bed.but His Absence from the Country is threatening the livelihood of Some cabals in Aso Rock.Jonathan's Action in demoting AGF is à clear sign that He is Not Ready to Play their Game.Hence Yar'Adua being packaged and  immediately Sent to Nigeria.
So Long the man is still fully incapacitated,Jonathan Needs stamp His Authority by Making efforts to get NASS legislative him As the Ag. President.He needs to Sack so Many ministers whose interest is more to Yar'Adua than to Nigeria.He needs to initiate or promote Public-friendly policies i.e Electoral Reform

Nduka seems to have à bottomless Pocket.the IBB Might Be true afterall

otawa:
Obviously, you never read his columns in Thisday.
We all know how Yaradua was selected and how this has destroyed many poor Nigerians, same Nigerians that Segun pretends to be fighting for in his column.

I read his column on Thisday and i am much aware of his complaints about the "go-slow" Yar'Adua govt.
He was called to serve and see for himself how easy or hard it is to be on the driving seat of the country.
If you read his final piece on his colmn,he definitely anticipated such unwaranted and baseless posts but he felt(and i believe him so) that it'll give him an opportunity to serve his fatherland.

Behind bobo:
so what?? u ll do worse if u were segun

So pple expect him to roll up and die.He did the right thing and each and everyone of us will do the same.

mekusxxx:
We can safely guess who the two pastors are

Who are those 2 pastors?

mekusxxx:
^^^^^^^
You guys should stop skirting around the issue. The question is what the rationale is for Yoruba to commit crime using Igbo names? Somebody from Kwara was caught recently with drugs and her name was Okoye, again an Igbo name used for criminial activity. By all means commit your crime using your name or a forged name similar to yours. Nigeria is a tribal country and any attempt for one tribe to rubbish the name of another the way Yoruba folks do with their crime using Igbo names is completely unacceptable.

You are definitely out of control.Do u believe this yourself?Dug couriers use available fake passports and it could bear any name.
I know you know better than that,

mekusxxx:
Segun has done a Ben Johnson. All the lies he fed us with are imploding in his face

which lies?

I really dont get what you guys are barking at.
Segun Adeniyi is a successful journalist who was called by the number one citizen of the country to come serve his contry.
He is called to serve the President as Senior/Special Adviser on Media in democratic dispensation,
Agbakoba rejected his offer because it was made under military dispensation so also were many other distinguished Nigerians.

SEgun Adeniyi made his mark as a journalist starting from his early days at Concord.He deserves the post the post and he has been excellently doing his job.

When is serving your country a betrayal of trust?We all did NYSC after leaving higher institutions.
You guys need to grow up and stop sucing thmb like a little kid.

I have come to realise that the Biafra soldiers on NL are toothless.

blacksta:
Please ban this hate consumed idiot

violent:
oh i think he's more than that. . . he's a total waste of c.um

Why post this stuffs?


I mean people prepare many fake documents to get visa out of nigeria at all cost.
These two people definitely took it far.The guy was definitely uncomfortable as seen in the picture.
But is it a Yoruba thing?

I read recently an Igbo coupled being jailed 55 years in U.S for forcefully using a widow without pay.There are still over 1,000 igbo people in U.S prison for different domestic crime.
The Muttallab issue is still frsh in our memories.
Dude,crime is without borders-crosses religious and ethnic lines.

hmmmmmm,
We all have to wait and see, If this is rue,then its really bad,

Beaf:
I suspect the former South-South governor Niboro mentioned has set a huge war chest in billions of naira is Ibori.

Most likely, The man should be in jail serving a long term with Bode George for all the fraud he perpetuated while in office.

Na today.?, I hope he wont be swayed by the pressure of office.

Well, so much for our leaders greediness,stupidity and do-or-die mentality.Its really unfortunate that a country of 140 million people wil have to wait for Saudi's approval.

0hsisi:

His name is becomecraze

ahahahahah, I thought its becomrich

In as much as i sincerely appreciate your efforts at exposing the governor,I'll want to as you this question:

Did you lose out in a business,got neglected or outsmarted in a biz deal with the Governor?

We definitely dont need to turn this into another tribal war.UNILORIN is the best in Nigeria from the ratings.
Personally,I cant doubt the rating because i visited the school sometime in 1995 and from my experience on those visits,their engineering faculty amongst others is 1st class.
I graduated from UNILAG and still holds the school in high esteem but UNILORIN and O.A.U had and still have a very wholly educational environment.

american chronicle again.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Onlytruth:
Wrong! He did not win in the east, Falae won there, PDP rigged eletions in the east. It is an open secret that Obasanjo was an unrepentant Igbo hater. We should have connived with Abacha to kill the idiot. That is exactly part of my grouse with some Igbo folks. Only few of them saw the true picture during Abachas days. More of us are seeing the true picture today though.

In 1999 PDP lost in all SW states.OBJ got majority vote in East and North.Because of that ineptitude,Nigeria is today 10 years backwards.

Onlytruth:
You have done irreparable damage to your people by your gloating and mocking of innocents who were starved to death by your father Awolowo. Keep up the good work!

You must be living in a fool's paradise.Awolowo(like  many politicians of his era )did nothing to worsen Biafra's case.
Can you please tell me anything Awolowo did against you fools.

Onlytruth:
After going through comments from many people about this war, it has become abundantly clear to me that the biggest enemy of Biafrans and Ndigbo was actually Yoruba. Awolowo wasn't really alone in his plans to annihilate Easterners. It was really his tribesmen all along. If that is not true, how come we have characters like babapupa, and the other idiot (what's his name again), akamugberu or akamubrain and many more like them mocking a planned extermination of Easterners with full glee and fan fare? And no one from their tribe is repulsed by the hate they attract to themselves?!

In all of these I really start to see that the Hausa or northerners were not really THE ENEMY. They may be extremists, but their hate is not deep like that of Yoruba. That leads me to the main question: If eastern leaders of the 60s knew whom the enemy was, would Biafra have failed the way it did? If the war was between the East and West, is there a question at all about who would prevail? If such situation comes up again (and I know it can still come up in Nigeria anytime), is it not better if we Ndigbo fight only our real enemy -the Yoruba? These questions are for today's Igbo leaders. There is a real danger in continuing the way we do. Agwo no na akirika! Sorry to my fellow Igbo who are cosmopolitan, but cosmopolitanism is actually idiocy in Nigeria. Open your eyes!

As we integrate ourselves into the politics of Nigeria, we Ndigbo must never forget what happened in Biafra and who actually won. The Hausa think they won, but in fact the Yoruba won. The Hausa thought they were fighting for themselves but they were in fact fighting for the Yoruba who are today boasting! When men conclude wars, woman boast!

Like I said in one my posts, let us forget the idea of secession, because only then are we assured of gaining the upper  hand one day. It is inevitable. It will happen. In fact we must be ready to fight anyone trying to secede. Our innocent women and children starved to death must not have died in vain.  

What role did the Yoruba's played in the civil war?Obasanjo as the last commander of the Nigerian forces,lead the largest and final attack on the Biafran Army.Thousands of lives were lost .The same OBJ contested for 1999 elections and won with huge votes in all eastern states while he lost in his ward,village,contituency and state.

I think the biafrans cant read within the line.Yorubas love and accommodate everybody.Biafras problem is BIAFRA itself.

chic2pimp:
There is something fishy about this story

No man would stand around and watch his wife being slapped around. .

Some men can allow that.Especially if the lady is better educated or well-off(financially)than the man.Some men are just whimps and at times inferior to their wife.

OBJ once said "UMORU are you dead"?

prankster:
Yoruba role was known for its betrayal.

How?

olabukola:
@Oga Babapupa
So you sincerely beleive that Yoruba nation couldn't have developed more than we are now(If at all we are) if the north and south(east and south) are not dragging us back. No water, No electricity, no road, political killings up and down, no education, no better govt, no walfare for our aged, no pension for ex- civil servant, and you say we are fine either way. Do you sincerely mean all this stated above is development.

Do i have to remind you that we have been in opposition since the advent of democracy in Nigeria except for the Akintola /Akinjide interlude.SW was and is still denied major FG projects which will have developed the region more than it is right now.Awolowo built premier institutions(U.I.,NTA Ibadan,O.A.U.,etc) with proceeds from cocoa and progressive tax regime.
