I think your parents must have let you know sometime in life that is is st.upid for you to take sides in an issue you know not the origin. Let him speak for himself.

Yes I know. You should re-sit your GNS 101. I won't insult you. Just calm and collected in an area of expertise. Your initial topic said 'How I felt when OBJ tore his card' instead of 'How I felt when i HEARD of or KNEW that...
In other news, Just explain to me why you changed the topic of the thread before making this comment.

[b]I am responding now because agaba123 opened a thread here--> https://www.nairaland.com/2126947/tell-lrnzh-respond-response-asap appealing for my response. I promised to give him THE TSUNAMI within 24hrs because I am busy with personal projects. Interacting with other Nairalanders on political issues is borne out of my passion for a new successful Nigeria in my life time. It is not my job and I have bills to pay. My response is at my leisure.


With no time to waste, below is THE TSUNAMI:

Before I delve into my education of agaba123 on the points he raised and other GEJites, I'd like to dissect and run a psychoanalysis of agaba123 to show why his political affiliation is grossly misplaced.

There is an Idoma proverb that says "When the yam pounder is tired, he/she begins to chase chickens away from around the mortar". Of course the chicken can't get into the mortar but it is a pretense to enjoy a much needed rest without appearing lazy.
Since GEJites cannot campaign based on GEJ's performance, they resort to personal attacks.

Why a proverb in Idoma? Judging by agaba123 moniker, I deduced that his ancestry is from among the Idoma people in the Benue valley, south of Abuja. He admitted this in an earlier interraction.

My recollections of the place is an economically, politically and developmentally marginalised land and people because the Idomas have always been in the minority (with a population of 2.5 to 3.5 million both resident in Benue State and in the diaspora), compare with between 5 and 7 million for the dominant Tivs who are in charge of Benue State since inception in 1967.

This is worsened by my observation that a higher percentage of Tivs are resident in a conducive Benue State than the Idomas who have moved to other states in Nigeria for greener pastures as their home date is largely repressive. They have only produced deputy governors some of the time in Benue State (including Benue-Plateau State) history, sharing this spot with other even smaller tribes. In the upcoming election, a Tiv man is on roll to be the next governor....AGAIN!

I bring all these up to highlight a background for why the Idomaland is marginalised. Read excerpts from the utterances of the President of the Idoma National Forum:[/b]

“In the 38years of the existence of Benue State, the Tivs have had complete control of everything in the state and virtually nothing for the Idomas. The posture of the Tiv political dominance in the state which is the handiwork of politicians has created elements of reality in the Tiv/Idoma rivalry,”
“The age long request for creation of Apa State is occasioned by the persistent denial of the rights and privileges of the minority tribes and their exclusion from the governance process in Benue state. This denial and exclusion from the main political and economic activities of the state have led to complete stagnation of social, political and economic growth of Southern Benue,” he said.
Speaking further, he said that since the political restructuring in 1991 and 1996 which he said gave the Tiv 14 local government areas against the Idoma’s nine LGAs, there has been a deliberate neglect because of the avowed ‘constitutional two-third majority’ conferred on the Tiv. This according to him is making the Idomas and Igedes politically irrelevant in the affairs of the State.
“Since 1976, no person from the minority tribes has become Governor, Chief Judge of the State, Speaker of the State Assembly no matter how well qualified they are. A recent survey of employment and appointments in the state civil service shows a very appalling lopsidedness. The extent of marginalisation of the minorities in Benue State is more amplified in appointments.
Momoh also alleged marginalisation in academics, saying that Southern Benue can boast of about 100 academic professors of high repute in different fields of endeavour but that none of them has ever been considered suitable for the Vice-Chancellorship of the State University and the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi.

[b]Idoma communities are frequently terrorised by marauding nomadic Fulani herdsmen. The absence of adequately motorable roads, waterworks or healthcare in Idoma land is not news at all.
The internet is replete with litany of Idoma people's woes.

Guess what. Notable Idoma people have been in government since Nigeria's independence.
In the Second Republic, Senator Ameh Ebute and Chief Audu Ogbeh were prominent players at the centre, with Ebute becoming Senate President under the Interim regime headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan in 1993 while Audu Ogbeh was to become PDP National Chairman in the current republic. In the early part of OBJ's govt, the Head of Service was an Idoma.
There have been several military governors or administrators in each successive military regime since Murtala’s coup, climaxing under IBB namely

1. David Mark (1984-1986, Niger State, under GMB and IBB)
2. Lawrence Onoja (1986-1988, Plateau State, 1988-1989, Katsina State, all under IBB)
3. Chris Abutu Garuba (1985-1987, Bauchi State, under IBB)

David Mark was also a diplomat to the US and onetime federal minister of communications under IBB when he claimed that telephony was not meant for the poor.

Abba Moro, the Minister of Interior (famous for the Immigration recruitment scandal), and David Mark are in GEJ's gov't. David Mark has been in the 4th Republic Senate since 1999 and has been the longest serving Senate President Nigeria ever had.

David Mark has never carried out a single developmental project in the Benue South Senatorial District which he represents. Any interaction with an Idoma person will include a portion lamenting how David Mark has deceived them for 16 years with the promise of facilitating their dream of statehood. Apa State, if actualised, will save the Idomas from the oppressive conditions under Benue State they believe.

David Mark is credited with saying that when he helps his kinsmen actualise Apa State, his son will become the first governor of the state, just to highlight how self centred the Idoma elites are. These are PDP chieftains.

My point is- the PDP government under GEJ or through the intiative of higly placed Idomas has failed to protect the Idomas or provide them basic amenities since time immemorial. David Mark is in line to return to the senate for the 5th time on the renewed promise of APA State actualisation. Another promise that will not be fulfilled as usual. People Deceiving their own People!

This is the kind of deception agaba123 and his lots wish on his people by supporting GEJ/PDP return in 2015. Such unwitting stance is appalling at best.

Audi Ogbeh is the notable Idoma person found in APC. He was appointed National Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in 2001. He held this position until January 2005, when he was forced to resign due to his criticism of President Olusegun Obasanjo's handling of a crisis in Anambra State. A true progressive who would not support OBJ's roughshod manhandling of other politicians. Unfortunately Audu has not held a policy making position in gov't to impact on his people enough.

An exemplary leader himself, Audu leads the campaign to raise N5Billion from yam sales in the middle belt to support GMB's ongoing campaign.

I hope the misled agaba123 has learnt a lot from this dissection.

With little time to waste, let's move on to points agaba123 raised.[/b]

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/168224-can-president-oritsejafor-admits-ownership-of-cash-stacked-jet-seized-in-south-africa.html

A private jet seized weekend by South African authorities with a stack of $10 million in cash meant for arms purchase, belongs to the head of the Nigerian Christian community, the aviation ministry confirmed Tuesday.

Ayo Oritsejafor, the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, had however leased the jet to another party, a top official of the ministry told PREMIUM TIMES, meaning Mr. Oritsejafor had no control over the use of the aircraft.

Mr. Oritsejafor’s church also confirmed the ownership in a separate statement Tuesday. The church said the pastor has a “residual interest” in Eagle Air, a company that manages the aircraft.

“On behalf of Pastor Oritsejafor, we can confirm that although he holds an interest in Eagle Air, the aircraft in question is not operated by Pastor Oritsejafor,” the statement by The Word of Life Bible Church said.

The aircraft was leased to, and is operated by Green Coast Produce Limited since August 2, the statement added.

In an earlier statement, Eagle Air Company admitted ownership of the jet held in South Africa for conveying $9.3 million cash for alleged arms deal.

Two Nigerians and an Israeli were caught with the money allegedly meant for buying and supplying weapons to the Nigeria intelligence services.

City Press, a South Africa-based newspaper had reported that the trio, who are already facing investigations, landed at Lanseria International Airport, Johannesburg on September 5, in the jet from Abuja with the money loaded in three suitcases.

The spokesperson for the South African Revenue Service, SARS, Adrian Luckay, confirmed that customs officers became suspicious when the passenger luggage were unloaded and scanned.

In a statement by its General Manager, Emmanuel Ohaeri, Eagle Air Company also claimed holding a “residual interest” in the aircraft, a Bombader Challenger 600, Registration No 808HG.

The company however said it leased the aircraft to Green Coast Produce Limited since August 2.

The statement said, “Our attention has been drawn to press reports in respect of an aircraft (Bombardier Challenger 600, Registration No N808HG) in which our company holds a residual interest.

“We wish to confirm that the said aircraft has since the 2nd of August 2014 been leased to and is operated by Green Coast Produce Limited.

The company and Mr. Ortisejafor’s church advised that all media enquiries in respect of the day-to-day operations of the aircraft be directed to the management of Green Coast Produce Limited.

In yet another statement, the management of Green Coast Produce Company Limited confirmed the aircraft had been leased to it, saying such transactions were normal in the aviation industry.

The company explained that the aircraft was in turn hired from it by one John Ishyaku and therefore would not be liable for any alleged infractions either in Nigeria or South Africa after the hire.

The company’s director, Shima Adun said in the statement that “On the 5th of September 2014 the aircraft was hired from us by a John Ishyaku. The charter to John Ishyaku was upon the following documented terms: (a) Depart Abuja-Johannesburg on the 5th of September 2014 (b) Return to Abuja on the 6th of September 2014 (c) To wait and return with the passengers”.

The company said as with every other aircraft charter company, its knowledge of the cargo carried on the aircraft was in accordance with the information provided by ABC Limited.

“All cargoes were accompanied by passenger who could readily defend the contents. We are not and cannot be privy to any alleged extraneous cargo transported on the aircraft other than that declared in the agreed terms of hire,” the firm said.

“We are not liable and cannot be construed as a party to any alleged infractions, either in Nigeria or South Africa as he case may be, after the hire of the aircraft,” it added.

Muslims do not remove their caps, it is their religion. And no where in the Bible did they say men should remove their caps. Why doesn't the pope remove his?

If you're a Christian you would know that removing your cap is a sign of respect to the Pope and not to God.


And yes, Buhari did things in the past that every Military leader is needed to do. But now in a democratic situation, even a leopard can change its spots. Look at OBJ. His first tenure as MHOS was far different from his second as CHOS.

Democracy changes people and societies. And that is what all well meaning Nigerians want. A change.

3sha4lyf:

Lol. That's the spirit. No hard feelings at all. I'm not offended.
Guess you're a very rare breed if you say you were born and bred in warri and you are "soft". That's not to say I'm strong either. He he he but I know what our waffi people have been doing since 1914. They've been setting the record since time immemorial. Kudos.

3sha4lyf:


What are you saying sef? I said GeJ administration permits hooliganism. And regardless of where it happens, North South East or west, it's cos of GEJ's laxity that people are taking advantage of. And thanks for the education but save it. I was also bred ( after birth)in Warri. I've moved houses starting from edjeba village unto jakpa, ugborikoko, enerhen, pti, dsa, etc so I know what I'm saying.

3sha4lyf:


That's to show that waffi people are [still] hooligans and that's only because the GEJ administration encourages hooliganism. My people, regardless of if you are abroad or back home in naija, when voting, think of your children and grand children. The decisions you make on FeBuhari 14th will make a difference in their lives. I wanna see things revert to normalcy. Nigeria has been limited since due to misplaced priorities. We talk about issues of unemployment, slow economic growth, decline of industries when 80% of, if not all these, would have been a thing of the past if there was constant light in Nigeria. Why den can't someone focus on power sector which when it works, recurrent expenditure on generator maintenance can be saved as at least 2 new employees' salaries?
Please oh. Nigeria affects us, everyone alike; home and abroad. #VoteWisely. Tx

I am very pleased to see APC and their candidate campaigning in the SS without any hindrance. Hopefully our great party, PDP will be accorded the same atmosphere in Kano, Kaduna and Sokoto.

GEJ till Buhari presents his entry documentation into the army in 1962.

BossAyuk:
OP it's very clear now. See how fresh Buhari and Osinbanjo look meanwhile GEJ resembles a Father Christmas high from smoking ganja...and he replaced Sambo with the Christmas tree.

they will be in lag to perform aswell..too much of delta state television no good...dey try watch trace n base.
