backbencher: There was a lot of ethinc and religious violence under army rule.
Need i remind you of the pogroms of the 1960s and the long religious conflict of the 1980s.
Also, no freedom of speech at all.
If you want things to be better, run for office. Participate. Campaign. Change
Yes. There was strife under previous Democratic experiment. But not at the scale we are witnessing today. Under Buhari, life is meaningless and brutish. Banditry and Fulani hegemony. IDP camps dotted over the place. Essence of leadership is lost and no hope for tomorrow as life is cheapened. National pride is lost in ethnic cleansing. We are no longer at ease. The list goes on and on...!
These are the hotbeds of ritual killings in Nigeria. There should be a special anti ritual Police squad with massive media campaign against ritualism and its falsehood on local radios in Yoruba dialect, TV series, Nollywood and Yoruba movie industry should also join the campaign with movies showing how false and deceptive it is.
Nigerian Government should also write to Facebook to close all those Yoruba Facebook Pages and Groups advertising Money ritual in Yoruba dialects which they call:
Why debasing her this way. Why not hand her over to Police. This is barbaric and inhuman. Police should fish out the culprits and deal with them. We are civilized people!
backbencher: Actually, there wasn't peace in the land, there was violence , and the same tribal and religious warfare was present under army rule.
And the economy was bad.
I grew up under Army rule. I know what I saw, and in addition freedom of speech and conscience was shut down
Army rule does not look nice, the way you see it.
Comparatively, Army rule was better. That's my grouse. Under civilian democracy, Nigeria's experiencing anomie and tension. No respite. Fulani ethnic cleansing was not there or rife. There was relative peace. And we want such template to thrive at the moment.
This man is insane. He was in the news recently for packaging Edo girls for prostitution in Europe and elsewhere for pecuniarily gains. He should be shown next door exit before he sends members away. He forgot Catholic is Igbo and Igbo is Catholic!
backbencher: You should know that what you are saying...and yes, Buhari is a failure, was said in 1965, and 1983, and each time, we ended up with brutal army rule (in 1983, we ended up with Buhari round 1)
Plus, the Army is made up of Nigerians like the civilian leadership are made up of Nigerians. Corruption is in the Army the same way as it is in the civillian rule.The Army is as much a reflection of the Nigerian people as their civillian rulers, only they have guns. Nothing will change, and you know it.
I regard all of Nigeria's civillian rulers as unmitigated failures. Nigeria has not developed properly since 1999. But millitary rule...won't work. And we all know i
Lord knows how many times people have tried Army rule with the idea that 'it would be better' Every time, within ten years, it was worse.
We have to work harder at our democracy. Because democracy is not working in Nigeria because Nigerians prefer to vote and go home.
I still vote for Military rule. Under the military we had breathing of life. No insurgency. No banditry. Farmers were happy going to their farms. There was peace in the Land. Not graveyard peace. Buhari has mismanaged our diversity. Everywhere IDP camps. And is it something to be proud of? Think again. Your support for Democracy is misplaced!
Concience55: Job description must be clearly spelt out to avoid clash of ego as they udertake the onerous task ahead. No expartriate coach will know our players better than our indigenous coaches. Just that we tend to give more support to the foreign coach.
SyrusdeHansome: If I ask Nigerians the criteria NFF used to reappoint Austin Eguavoen as the interim coach of our SE they'll tell me he won Egypt and finished with 9 points in their group. They forget the fact that the man lacks tactics and technical know how to take our football to the next level. Nigerian coaches are so backward. They rarely go for further training. Just look at Yobo who's supposed to go and get the necessary coaching experience feeling happy sitting on de bench with headphones in his ear while Rooney, Lampard, Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure are in Europe acquiring more knowledge and experience. Gernot Rohr was bad and he almost killed our football but the fact is that he wouldn't have lost to Tunisia. We would have played poorly against them but still end up winning. I know this for a fact cos Tunisia were not good but our home based coach ended up losing that match cos he lacks experience and technical skills.
So,what are you insinuating. We should continue with foreign coach? You have despicable mentality. Believing in white man's Superiority. Stephen keshi won Afcon in 2013. He's a local coach. Cisse Aliu of Senegal just won Afcon in Cameroon. The Oyinbos coach fell by the way side. Our coaches could do better with our encouragement. Not vilifying them. Rohr was in the saddle for over five years. Give same support to our local coaches and we could win the world cup!
Now,will the military go and kill all inhabitants of the community because of loss of lives on the part of the military. This what plays out in the East when soldiers lose a personnel. Examples are Awomama and I zombie. It appears there's a script to humiliate,maim and kill people of southeast whenever they lose personnel in a particular location. This is sad!
Rugaria: The Army should go there and BURN down everything including the same school attacked by the insurgents as they normally do in the East! "Everywhere wutaa wutaa".. Burn and kill the remaining people there for being at the same place attacked by some insurgents! Is that not what they did at Awomama and Izombe? Once the army is attacked in a particular location, everybody there, both man and woman, both supporters of the insurgents and their antagonists are fair game. The Army comes in and lays the whole place bare.. They should extend this creed to all these Northern towns.. That's their operational template.. Like they say as they pillage "everywhere wutaa wutaa", Everywhere fire fire..
helinues: Without focus after how many years. This government that is rounding up for the next government
Yes. Rounding up next year. But has the government performed creditably. Be honest to yourself please. Your assessment should be outside purview of politics.
backbencher: Thanks to Nzeogwu, we ended up with four years of inter-ethic violence, pogroms,and a brutal civil war...simply because the man could not resign his commission, and go into politics, and present his programme....peacefully.
And thanks to Orkar, we very nearly entered into civil war round 2....plus his coup was poorly planned. Did not control the vital infantry units, and got messed up as a result.
And by extension, you should also hail Buhari, who had the balls, and was a real soldier...in your opinion, to overthrow a civillian government that was just as corrupt as the one he runs now. No be man thing be that. Instead of him to resign and go into politics then, he trhew them out...and sent us backward for another 15 years for nothing.
Plus, you guys call for sanity, then when sanity involves arresting your fave politican, you people will start crying foul.Right.
You're talking of the past. Talk of the present. Life is dynamic. And the dynamism should be related to the present. Buhari has failed. A mitigated disaster. Coup is the only option to remove him. Not Ballot box. You know his antecedents. He has virtually destroyed Nigeria.
porthouse7: like i said ship will never berth at d port, they only move cargos in barges, just a very tiny river moving cargos in barges depending on ports from lagos and onne... dat one na port?
Go and sit down, if you have nothing to say. Is it by force to type gibberish. Go back to classroom and learn more before displaying your ignorance and stark illiteracy. You try sha!
OsuAmaka: When Anambra airport was being commissioned, deluded folks like you said Lagos airport would go dry, so, I ask you how has Lagos airport being affected now?. You forgot that there is an International airport in Enugu, there's also a airport in Imo, yet those ghost airports could not pull a strand of hair off Lagos, Abuja and Kano Airports.
Talking about Onne seaport, how many vessels have berthed at the terminal since it was dredged and open up?. From the development, Maersk directed their vessels to be routed through Onne port, while the news tickles your fantasies, you were all gloating about ibos abandoning Lagos port. We wonder what is stopping ibos from patronizing their dearest Onne port where activities remain skeletal.
Innoson is a private enterprise seeking public patronage just as any private business but ibos are busy crying on our shoulders to accept innoson as a national brand. The entitlement mentality that seeks to compel Federal Government to buy Innoson as a gesture of making ibos feel they are part of Nigeria. What a disgusting mentality. Proforce like Innoson is a privately owned car manufacturing company yet Proforce is rapidly divesting and expanding across West Africa region. He has established his manufacturing plants in Kuwait, UAE, etc. He did all that without making noise or Yoruba crying in the media for Government to patronize him. Now that Dangote has opened his car factory, we are waiting to witness another cry of marginalization from you guys. The earlier ibos realize that we owe you nothing, the better for all of you. Stop disturbing our peace. We have over 250 ethnic groups in this country.
-Osu amaka
You are indeed Slave, going by your name OsuAmaka. Your mentality is indication of many mindsets like you who is engrossed in tribalism and ethnic bigotry. This won't help us. Anything good in Anambra can benefit other Nigerians, include you. So,stop your hate and self serving posturing.
SyrusdeHansome: Is it because he made one mistake? Show me one keeper that has never made a mistake before. Nigerians are always too quick to give up on pple and funny enough these set of pple are not even perfect in what they do but will demand perfection from others. Uzoho that couldn't last in Laliga is what u guys are recommending to replace Maduka.
Stop it! His reflexes is a suspect. Our npfl goal keepers are better than him.
guobe: We need to know who is really our best goalkeepers both playing in the npfl here in Nigeria and abroad.We have very good goalkeepers in the Nigerian league and as an advocate of Nigerian league players,I prefer the Nigerian league goalkeepers.
wifeesnatcher: Eguaveon is good but how can a coach expect to use the same tactics in group stage in round of 16? and win, How
the Tunisia technical teams obviously watched our matches, so why can't you bench some players that they know their pattern and start new good players then substitute them later?
if he had watch Tunisia matches, we wouldn't have lost that simple match to me because Tunisia were even playing defence with us in the start of the game but when they realized our attack is soft then they take advantage
You made a point. Hope the team handlers are reading. Eguavoen will improve with time.
Elliotwaveforec: Useless coach; useless players. Who still watches these idiots play sef? They're known for defeats.
Be appreciative for once! Rohr was in charge for 5yrs+ and he didn't impact anything positive on our football. But within weeks,there was renaissance in Nigeria football. Strategy and sumptuous football was restored. So,why not appreciate him Kudos Eguavoen!
Good. When will it happen in Nigeria. We need it badly to sanitize the system. Unfortunately, our soldiers don't have the balls. Era of Nzeogwu or Gideon Orkar is gone. These were real soldiers. Not the baby and overfed soldiers we have today.
helinues: You could go and join the army or soldier so that you can try your luck to oust Buhari
Helinues,In all honesty, do you support the present administration that is rudderless and without focus? Say the Truth. Is Buhari piloting the affairs of the country in a honest and humane manner manner?
It is his opinion. We need coup in Nigeria to stabilise the polity. Insurgency and banditry is enough to warrant coup d'etat. Democracy can't thrive under bloodshed and insomnia. We need coup in Nigeria for now!
Just imagine the audacity! Despite the deplorable state of this nation even with their leaders ruling for a greater period of our national life? Imagine what this nation have been through under the past 6 years under the catastrophe they foist on a nation of 200M people.
Bala Mohammed(Bauchi governor), Niger/Borno lawmakers and now the 4th globally acknowledged terrorist group is having the audacity to be insulting the sensibility of other ethnic nationals
Meanwhile, the bullion vans man of Burdillion is not coding the signs but pursuing an illusory presidency while keeping quiet after all the atrocities of these well know killers. The earlier the south acknowledged and start pushing for a dissolution of this forced unwork-able marriage the better for it. What nonsense
Well said bro. You're intelligent man. Keep it up!
This is sad. Stories that touch the heart. Why soiling the image of hardworking Nigerians. Too bad. He should be dealt with according to dictates of the law.
Abeggi,let him go and sit down. Presidency not for sale. We don't need effigy or Statues President. Besides, we don't want a President solely driven by In-laws, cousins and brothers. We know his antecedents in IMO state. And IMO state he left behind is in a season of anomie. Wars and brigandage.
philme87: Amid an online conversation on the widespread ritual killing carried out by young boys to make money through fraudulent means, a video of some young boys in a shrine has been shared online.
In the video, the young boys lip-synched to King Hemjay's "Ajitu Cruise". They were heard saying "no hustle o, pepeye you no go shenk. If we show you the way, shey you go fit do am? If you run too fast you go die young, if you run too slow you go die poor".
They also made sure that the entire shrine was captured in the video.
And I don't want tobhear he his being persecuted because he is Igbo. Corruption does not know tribe or religion.
Did he say he is being persecuted because he is Igbo? Corruption has no tribe or race. You're guilty; you're guilty. So,your comments lack sense but laced with ethnic bias.
