How did you know it's the truth sir?

jaxxy:
Have u not seen where the truth is spoken in court bt struck out due to lack of evidence?

The problem with you people is that you relish one sided obviously biased stories told by your parents and uncles about the civil war and want to force it down everybody's throats as the Gospel truths.

You don't read the accounts of key players from the other side, let alone strive to have a balanced view of the events surrounding the civil war.


You wrongly assume that the Biafran forces were saints who did no evil.

Benjamin Adekunle was already relieved of his command and was no where near the war front when Isaac Boro was killed.

Read eye witnesses accounts especially 'The Tragedy of Victory' by Gen Alabi-Isama

joeyfire:
Boro was tried by a court for treason in the Eastern Region but later murdered by your very own Adekunle.

If not that Awo was out of the picture in 1963 and the Western Region had been in a low grade civil war at that time you would never have allowed them to go. Do some research. You think the SS people don't know their history?

Finally this SW propaganda of biafran massacres in calabar has been decimated time and time again. When we dug deeper we observed that it was actually a Yoruba man serving under Murtala that even supervised the Asaba genocide. Nobody believes you guys but I guess you can't help trying

I am not interested in your rabid bigotry and hatred for the Yorubas (that's your own cup of tea), however with regards to your last sentence, what exactly do you hope to achieve with this?


This is a democratic dispensation, you are 100% free and right to vote for a Northern candidate either in 2023 or throughout your life. However ,you need to understand that

1) Other Nigerians also have this same right to vote for whosoever they like and when this doesn't tally with your preferred candidate, you have no right to call them traitors/betrayers.
All of us can't see political issues exactly the same ways, let's learn to respect the views of other citizens who see things differently.

2) There are other Nigerians who will want to vote for a Yoruba candidate in 2023.
It's best to put this into voting to determine which side of the divide are in the majority.




3) Yoruba candidates or any other serious presidential candidates, who have been nursing presidential ambition and have invested their time, energy, emotion and resources will not just abandon their ambition because a citizen like you is threatening to vote for a Northern candidate on a faceless forum.

These rantings are quite childish and laughable. They won't stop any serious presidential material from contesting.

NigeriaIsDoomed:
I could have ignored you but for the sake of foreigners who are consumers of Nairaland as well, I have to cure your ignorance and put an end to your misinformation.
Man you are stuck in the Stone Age to think that you are intellectually superior to other tribes in Nigeria, in this 21st century.
You are only superior to others maybe numerically and that is it,  and oh..yes you are uninformed to resort to such an immature assertion just to massage your overbloated ego.
It is the silliest assertion I have ever heard man..
If you were superior to the ND intellectually as you erroneously claim, you wouldn't make such a puerile assertion. You can see how you are embarrassing yourself man.

So by virtue of being the first to build a TV station, stadium, skyscraper and provide free education and bla bla bla bla, that puts you ahead of the Niger Delta intellectually in this 21st century? Maybe you are intellectually superior to my tribe in skull mining.lol!
Black man mentality and so myopic!
Man you are delusional and only living in the past if you think so.

You asserted ignorantly as well, that our only importance is for others to plunder our wealth and use it to build their land. Another immature assertion from an uninformed and uncongenially demented creature!
Let me refresh your memory, Nigeria entered recession in 2016 as a result of lower oil prices and production, exacerbated by militant attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in the Niger Delta region. GDP growth turned positive in 2017 as oil prices recovered and output stabilized.
In addition, the Nigerian government relies heavily on the Niger Delta oil as its main source of foreign exchange earnings. Stop exposing your ignorance man!
Proceeds of oil from ND have been used to feed you parasites and to keep this failed British Experiment going to this day.
It is your region that is not even important to Nigeria.

If the  billions of dollar my region generates from oil to fund the fake country and geographical expression called Nigeria were not shared to parasites like you, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa would be competing with their peers in the Middle East.

Only a mad man or a traumatized weed smoker would reason like you.
I am ashamed of sharing the same country with an ignorant and uninformed creature.




Back to the why I am here, let me put it to the Yorubas again that WE'd rather vote for another Northerner to rule Nigeria after Buhari's tenure than align with you traitors and ingrates.
You can go to hell!

Scared Are you for real


Which unity
Every ethnic group/Geo-political zone is pursuing it's own interests and are you seeing any one saying he is scared?

The SS support the PDP just like the SE support the PDP but this doesn't mean both the SE and the SS will always be on the same page with every political issue.

The defeat of Sen Ike Ekweremadu by Sen Ovie Omo-Agege as the Deputy Senate President clearly illustrate this point.

Check the strength and the performance of the APC in the SS and compare it with that of the SE, you will see that the APC has made significant inroad into the SS

joeyfire:
Why are you all so scared of SE/SS unity? Even the north is not this scared. I am starting to suspect that SW has not recovered from the trauma of the Midwest referendum.

Answer your Papa's name, what's SE/SS block?

The truth is that as at now the SE has the least electoral advantage in Nigeria but most commentors from the Geopolitical zone prefer to blame the Yorubas for their political disadvantages and they believe (like Sambalat and Tobiah) that undermining the S/West will uplift the S/East.

LabDNA:
You can keep rehashing your Igbo vs Non-Igbo narrative to make yourself sleep better at night but we all know that the SE/SS bloc is as powerful as the NW/NE bloc, to your chagrin that is. While the SW is neither a bird nor a butterfly in the scheme of things.

So did you say Igbo vs non-Igbo or Igbo vs yoruba?

In a democratic dispensation, no part of Nigieria can rule for a very long time because at least 24 States are needed to win presidential election.

JJOF:
I'm sorry dear, I don't do party politics. I believe the right man, irrespective of party should be voted in. But the Northerners only care about voting for their fellow Northerners. Since Nigeria is a diverse state, one region ruling for a long duration is very very bad.

Mr Sense, oya clap for yourself for telling the whole world that the SW does not have sense.



























Interestingly,














The internet never forget!

hammerD:
IF THE SW HAVE THE 'BOLDED', THEN OBJ WOULD HAVE HONOURED THE ZONING ARRANGEMENT AND ALLOWED FOR POWER TRANSITION TO THE NORTH WITHOUT PLAYING GIMMICKS.


IF THE SW HAD THE 'BOLDED', THEY WOULD HAVE SUPPORT GEJ TO COMPLETE SS TENURE OF HAVING A FULL TWO TERM IN GOVERNMENT.


AT LEAST THE SS WOULD BE OUT OF THE EQUATION FOR THE FORE-SEEABLE FUTURE.


IF THE SW HAD THE 'BOLDED', THEY WOULD BE THE PEOPLE LEADING THE CALL FOR AN IGBO PRESIDENT, BECOS THE SOONER THE IGBO GET REPRESENTATION AT PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL, IT MEANS THE SW WOULD BE NEXT WEN POWER RETURNS TO THE SOUTH, BUT THEY DONT HAVE THE 'BOLDED' AND THAT IS Y NIGERIA IS THE WAY IT IS WITH PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE.

Neither Tinubu nor any Northern politician owe you the presidency. They don't even have any power to dash anybody the presidency.

You wrongly assume that Tinubu and all those who fought the PDP to a stand still for years investing their time, energy and resources to build the APC and attain power should sit by and refrain from reaping from their political investment at the ripe time.

Be real for once and go into the election with the right mindset NOT the mindset that others owe you something.

Your sense of entitlement is incompatible with democracy in a highly heterogeneous artificially created country.

Rekhina:
I told Dem dat Igbo presidency is an obligation of TINUBU and any northerners who have sense ! Dey said I talk trash

Then you should be happy that the APC you hate so much is about to be defeated by your beloved PDP.
You shouldn't be apprenshive .

JJOF:
If you aren't sarcastic with this post, then you are very naive. The North will only vote for the North, they believe that God has given them power in Nigeria. If APC dare bring a Yoruba or any other non-Northerner as President, all Northerners will stop supporting APC.

This kind of silly rantings is nauseating.


The SW is NOT stopping you or any politician from the S/East from contesting.

You hate the Yorubas with passion and you still have the audacity to be coming online to want to dictate whether the Yorubas should contest or not.


In 2023, vote for El-Rufai , Atiku or whosoever you like and allow the Yoruba politicians test their popularity in a democratic manner. This is the best way to nurture democratic culture in Nigieria.

Stop your tribal profiling by labelling the Yorubas or any tribe as the problem of the country.

The present situation of Nigeria is a product of the actions and inactions of ALL parts of Nigeria.





The Yorubas and the SE aren't Siamese twins.

Princedapace:
The problem is south west. South west is the biggest problem of southern Nigeria. They have always been and will forever be.

After OBJ ruled for 8 years, they should have waited a bit, but no, they felt they were smart. Even as it is now, they are the ones spoiling the southern chances. They dont ever want to allow east to rule. I dont know what east did to them. Instead of supporting their fellow southerner, they didnt becus they want to remain in power. Any ways, from the look of things, APC may present south west, pdp will simply present northerner and pdp will win. In fact the last election, if not for the usual naija matter, pdp could have won the election.

You are one of the problems of single mothers in Nigeria.

Your words are just too harsh. When you reach 40 years of age, you will voluntarily wish to delete this post.


Single mothers aren't necessarily bad, I once wanted to marry one but external influences scuttled the plan before it germinated.

Alexgeneration:
No man in his right senses will waste his resources to marry a second-hand woman (single mother) when he can use same resources to get a better wife.




Only losers and men with low self esteem will end up with single mothers because they can't attract better females to themselves and if you ask them why,they will mask their inferiority with love,then you begin to ask "you no see virgin love abi you no see woman wey dem never useless love"?



Single mothers are the dregs of the female species and only few inches above mad women.


#Pukes

This 'problem' is magnified among well educated/professionals class.

If you are a young doctor,Lawyer, Banker or an Engineer and you now bring home a 27 year old lady with 2-3 year old son as your fiancee, be rest assured that your mum and sisters will strongly object to it.

Introducing her to your friends/colleagues will cause unnecessary embarrassments.


However, i have noticed that for Okada riders, roadside mechanics, roadside tailors, NairaBET agents, NURTW members or carpenters, it's not a big deal.

pcguru1:
I know I can't avoid Drama but dealing with a single mother whose relationship with the father is problematic would equally be your own issues to inherit as the man of the house. I have to mentally not discipline his son because of what could happen, you have to maintain an unnecessary cordial relationship, and if there's conflict between the co-parents it becomes your own headache. Sounds stressful to me, I'm sure others wouldn't mind them, but not for me, experienced the drama involved already it's not fun at all.

Haba!

Don't be too judgmental. Many single mothers are victims of bad guys who took advantage of their inexperience/young age.


And after turning them into single mother, the society induced discriminations make it difficult for them to easily get their preferred husbands, making them preys for 'community joysticks'


They are just victims of circumstances, they aren't necessarily more promiscuous than other ladies.

Sirvingeo:
Single mothers are mostly promiscuous and have high tendency falling in love with the wrong men .

It is has if the Buhari/APC administration have declared war against the border communities.

sapientia:
Happens when you rush to implement policy directions without adequate feasibility study.

Trial by error Govt.

Although, I am not his fan but I know that Atiku is far better than the Indimis.

He is an enterpreneur employing many people in Adamawa State.

MetaPhysical:
Are you aware that Adamawa is no different? Have you ever been to Adamawa State? Yet Atiku Abubakar is there, amongst many wealthy citizens from that state. You all need to reflect before talking. Reno's lack of thoughtfulness often gets him into dead-end corners and trouble.

Their grandfather was a millionaire and was Governor of Lagos State when I was in Secondary school.

Order your goods from China and we ship down to Nigeria within 7days.Cgeck siggy

I grew up in a very strict religious home.

My father was particularly harsh on me because he was afraid I could be influenced by the bad boys in Ebute-Metta where we lived then.

Although I have been hearing about blue films from my JSS-3 days, my first experience of such nature was peeping through the doors to see adults having sex.

The first time I real watched blue film, I was in the University at the age of 23yrs.

Most Igbos I come across in everyday real life love Nigeria and get along very well with us.

Igbos to my surprise are now so many in almost all the villages in Ondo and Osun States.

Go to Odigbo, Owo, Ikare, Ipetu, Ilesha, Aramoko,Ijebu-Ijesha and Ile-Ife, you will see 40year old Igbo men born and raised there.
Many of the Igbo ladies in my town have even married Yoruba boys (impregnated by Yoruba boys is the most appropriate statement).

ZombieTERROR:
If Both parties APc and PDP don't zone their presidency to the South East.....



I think a lot of South East elders .. Youths and politicians will buy into Kanu ideology and agitation ..

The truth is that an average Yoruba or Hausa Fulani people don't want to be in the same country as an Igbo ...

The comments here speaks for itself...
So it's a win win for everyone

So you have the power to frustrate a presidential candidate but you don't have the power to make your life better and achieve one tenth of what a presidential candidate has achieved?


Are Taraba , Kaduna and Adamawa parts of the Midddle Belt?

Nowenuse:
Thank you very much.
And people like us will do everything within our power to frustrate people from the middlebelt voting someone like Tinubu.

Though, Ebira & Igala (Kogi) people may vote Tinubu.
Niger people vote together with Hausa fulanis. Tinubu will get Kwara too. However, he should forget the other middlebelt states and Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna e.t.c

That is NOT the subject matter being discussed.



However, living in Aso rock on its own is not a crime.

Aso rock is an official quater just like any other staff quarters. Many people live with their relatives in the official quaters.

Even in your State, it's NOT only the Governor, his wife and their children that live in the Government House but several members of their extended families, Concubines, drivers, cooks, friends and political associates live in Government Houses and you have never complained about this.

Even in the White House, relatives of the US Presidents live there too.


























Like FFK said, opposition should be played with decorum and decency.

GEEBITE:
A private citizen that lives with his family in Aso rock.Sometimes I wonder if you guys are really for real.

I never mentioned Tinubu in my post let alone said who he will defeat or not.

You can counter my analysis with facts instead of shouting Afonja Muslims like low level I.Q Nairalanders do.

I don't engage in such peurile tribal slurs .

ZombieTERROR:
My Yoruba Muslim friend

I don't read jargons

If you say Tinubu the bullion van master will outshine Tambuwal or kwakwasiya movement in the north... It's okay

Anything you tell yourself to sleep at night is highly welcomed... Take care

A private citizen can use his money to buy foreign rice but that rice must NOT be snuggled into the country.
The foreign rice can be imported through the Seaports/Airports with payment of all appropriate tarriffs.

Mamman Daura is a private citizen who just happen to be a close relative of the President.

He can't be held accountable for Government policies.

loswhite:
so a private citizens cannot choose to use his money to buy foreign rice again? You cannot tell us as a leader to eat local rice when you and your family travel abroad to celebrate a birthday party. A leader must lead by example... empty head

In developed democracies, it's the political parties that contest and sponsor presidential candidates but in Nigieria, it's the other way around.

STAINLESS Kwankwanso, having been out of Government will just be like a fish out of water in 2023 and will be in a disadvantage position to even win the PDP ticket.

STAINLESS Tambuwal too doesn't have the financial muscles and the national appeal to win a presidential election.
The idea that another N/West candidate will succeed Buhari will not gain maximum support even in the North.

There are individual Northern politicians from Nupe, Kanuri, Bolewa, Berom, Igala, Tiv etc who will see his candidature as consigning them to second class Northerners, only good for been used to win elections and they will work against him.

In the PDP strongholds like SE/SS, there will be voters apparthy with low turnout because they won't be enthusiastic about voting his candidature.

The North is far more heterogeneous and diversified than the South.

In the First Republic, the NPC, NEPU, MCPC all have their bases in the North.

In the Second Republic, Shagari won the 1979 election with votes from the Minorities (the old Benue,Rivers and Cross River States) as the core Norther votes were shared with Aminu Kano (old Kano & Kaduna States) and Waziri Ibrahim (old Borno & Gongola States)

Check and compare the 2.5 million votes PDT received from the SE in 2015 to the 1.5 million votes Atiku/PDP received from the same SE in 2019.


So what makes you over confident that your STAINLESS Tambuwal will get more votes than Atiku did in the SE/SS come 2023?

In 2023 STAINLESS Kwankwanso or STAINLESS Tambuwal will need to be much loved and elevated to the status of a deity to get 2 million votes in the SE.

ZombieTERROR:
As 2023 draws near

Expect more threads about the PDP by zombie robots.... The reason is that they are scared of the outcome of the election..

The APc can't cope with any south west candidate... Especially Tinubu otherwise known as the bullion van master while the opposition had already zoned their presidency to the north..

Stainless politicians like Kwakwanso or Tambuwal will annihilate any Tinubu in the north. Same in the south east and South south...

The only way the ruling party has a chance is if the opposition presents a Southerner like they will ... But thats not happening...

Once the opposition wins .. They will expose the zombie king as the true fraud he is... A man who has nothing to offer the country except using taxpayers money to gallivant round the world

I advise zombies to console themselves quietly and stop opening irrelevant threads

There are many Nigerians born before 1960 who have more than 20 siblings e.g my late mum.

My late Uncle had more than 20 children.

Mightyhaiz:
hold what exactly? And what do u mean 20 siblings

What of RSTC, Christian North, Meles Zenawi, Zombie punisher etc

The man hates bribes (Riba) as prohibited by the Shariah law and some commentators are abusing him

16 out of the aides are non-Yorubas.

DennisEche:
I am beginning to love pmb, Seems osinbanjo is no way better than pmb in the tribal bigot games, check out the list of the sacked aides, na Yoruba's full there. The afonjas have no right to blame pmb.good to know that awalowo surname de dia, Abba kyari carry on

Liar.

1) The aides come from different backgrounds. No tribe account for 95%.

2) They are posted from the Presidency to the VP's office. They weren't actually appointed by the VP.

3) Always verify you 'facts' before posting your obviously biased opinions as facts online

4) Thanks.

Thisis2raw:
The VP of USA don't even this much aides sef, and how come 95%of the aides are from one particular ethnic group?

And he calls himself a Pastor

Never say never.

Leave that for God.

Adonko:
This your "big" dream will never see the light of the day, some people cannot just be President and tinubu tops that list....mark my words!!!

Yorubas will not vote for Tinubu but will come out en mass to queue in the rain/sun to cast their votes for Atiku because they think Atiku is an Angel in the class of Angel Gabriel while Tinubu is the person as Lucifer?

OBAGADAFFI:
How many Yoruba will vote for Tinubu?

Yorubaland is bigger than Lagos.

You hate Tinubu offline and online.

Why do you think, it's appropriate for you to come online to dictate to Tinubu ( man you hate with passion) how he should run his Political career?

Nels55:
If Atiku can't be the president, then don't see the morals of electing Tinubu..


Please Papa Tinubu go siddon and thank God for your loots, contesting for 2023 will destroy your peace..


Forget all these hungry supporters , common Sowere they couldn't stand for him, when problem comes they will abadon you like how they did to Abiola..


Your mission for 2023 is to galvanize the south and stand for the truth, SW mustn't be president for you to be a hero..
