Who told u he never begged Ojukwu to help him plead to Abacha? Can u swear with ur life on that?

Most likely, you haven't been born during the trial of Saro-Wiwa.


He was arrested in 1994 and was never released until he was executed on Nov-10, 1995 but somehow you believe the wrong version narrated to you by Uncle Linneus (who was learning spare parts trading at Ochanja Market at that time) that Saro-Wiwa went to beg Ojukwu in 1997 to help him talk to Abacha to spare his life!

nairavsdollars:
Double mouthed bald headed blogger. The other day you said he is using football age, today you are saying something else

You didn't catch his sense of humour in this tweet.




Actually, Tinubu was born around 1952(or at most 1950). If you see his pictures during the 1992 Senatorial election, you will agree that he couldn't have been older than the age he claimed.

Tinubu's picture with Dele Momodu in London in 1996 didn't show him to be much older than Dele Momodu. His recent Groom's men picture was certainly taken in the 1980s going by the prevailing dressing style of that era and the quality of the picture.

People age differently.

Verysmart101:
How was he better pls? Who took majority of the abandoned properties owned by Igbos in rivers then? Wasn't it him? While the northerners and westerners returned theirs.The same Ojukwu ur saying he's evil was the same man sarowiwa ran to in 1997 to help beg Abacha to have mercy on him.Shameful people

Saro-Wiwa was killed on Nov-10,1995 and before then, he was already incarcerated in Port-Harcourt prison for over a year.

He never went to Ojukwu to beg Abacha in 1997.

You people like to circulate falsehoods and propaganda against anyone who was on the Federal side during the civil war, largely based on 'bigotted hear-says' from your elders

Landmack:
Let’s leave Ojukwu,the afaraukwu tout,and other sane igbos aside.

The question is this...did saro wiwa’s pple covet properties belonging to igbos during the war or not?
I
If No,,,,back ur answer with points
If Yes,,,saro wiwas pple are thieves and covetous in nature. There’s a law against covetousness in the bible and curses accrued to it. If u check well,it could be one of the generational curses the pple of Ndelta especially in Rivers are suffering till today. Name them~environmental degradation,black soot etc

1) In each State, the Government owns the land ,those who build houses on the land are merely tenants.


2) Igbos ran away from Rivers State to core Igbo towns, leaving their buildings behind. The Rivers State Government took over those 'abandoned buildings' and converted many of them to Government properties.

3) Saro-Wiwa was a Commissioner in Rivers State and Local Gov't Administrator during the war, it's possible some of the buildings his Ministry/Council used then were parts of such buildings but this was strictly a Gov't policy and beyond the powers of Ken Saro-Wiwa as a private citizen.

What's made in Nigeria that Nigerians buy??

Fufu and Eggs

Imagine setting up a plantain chips business and then packaging it this way, no be automatic demarketing be that?

Forget politics, people go chop finish for this country.















* Even if the Devil appears in Nigeria and start distributing Jollof Rice + Fried Turkey with '666' boldly written on the package, people go chop am finish and if he continues the free foods for a month with extra cash of @5000 per person, some people will start the '2023: vote Devil for President' campaign.

christejames:
Like I said earlier, a mannerless urchin just popped out to defend the indefensible

Hulling insults is all they know.


At least my Dad gave me sound education to differentiate between good governance and the one that paints at the surface (maladministration).


Can you compare your so called Lagos to Casablanca? When it comes to all round development... Oops! I am going too far. You will say it's north Africa because of their proximity to the west.


OK, compare your so called city to Luanda, and Windhoek or even Harare? Oops! You will say it's developed by the whites as if Lagos wasn't named by the Portuguese.

The development of Lagos is relative to the development of Nigeria.



Lagos can NOT develop in isolation just as your left hand can't be far more well fed than the rest of your body.


How can Lagos be very developed if the other States are undeveloped and their Indigenes flock to Lagos on daily basis with resultant heavy strains on the infrastructure and aesthetics of the State?


What are the population densities of Casablanca and Launda?

christejames:
I don't know why APC urchins are allover the place gloating and associating any little success in Lagos to that bulgy eyed man, does it mean he is still the defacto guvnor of that state?

They should be ashamed of themselves because the man and his cronies are just painting at the surface when it comes to what true development is in analogy with the level of development of Lagos.

Why this unnecessary obsession with that man?

The topic is about the completion of the Lagos light rail projecte (co-incidentally initiated by the same man you so much love to hate ) and not about anything else.

asapants:
If either Tinubu or Osibanjo wins the political party ticket for presidential candidates, let them tell us who ordered the lekki Shooting 10/20/2020.
They can’t insult the people and get away with it. Please you’ll should take note.

What if Atiku wins a presidential ticket of a party, what should he tell you?

goodheart01:
Yeah I think you're right. America didn't get their independence by sitting at home, there was a war invoved too. That's to say it's high time igbos stepped up and smashed your bloody zoo up with a revolutionary war!

But Igbos are presently disadvantaged and don't have the capacity to do that.


How will they import weapons when they aren't in-charge of any outlets to the sea or any land (International) borders?

Are igbos in-control of any military formations in the country?

Laggafin:
It's only if moghalu and Peter obi join the race that it won't be manipulated comrade

Prof Kingsley Moghalu is already in the race, Peter Obi should join.

If we have 25 heavy duty politicians in that race, negative forces will cancel out each other.



The only reason the cabals appear powerful is because they have only one Strong candidate to contend with, Tinubu.

If so many other formidable candidates join the race, the equations will change.

Bastardlyrich:
Guy,just leave them with their Yorobad useless liars.
Who from SS and se will even vote them.
Let them continue with their 2015 liars and propaganda.
Now nigeria is more tribalistic than before.
I m from SS,I rather vote a dog than a Yorobad person.and most ssners and seners are like that too.

You are just a voter.


Politicians consider their Interests first ,which is not necessarily the same as your interests and if Tinubu/APC can guarantee that interests, they will work for it.

Didn't you see the ways Prince Aurthur Eze sharply became a Buhari's supporter immediately after May,29,2015?

Didn't you see the ways Senator Nnamani, Uche Ekwenife, Orji Uzor Kalu, Govs Been Ayede & Dave Umahi quickly joined the APC which is the most despised party in their States?

Look at Elder Godswill Orubebe and Sen Ovie Omo-Agege who eventually defeated Ike Ekweremadu as deputy Senate president. Politicians work for who can meet their self-interests!

Bahamas95:
Why Tinubu of all people?


I don't even want any Nigerian politician irrespective of the party they come from, they are all the same. Thieves!

If possible I would prefer our colonial masters to come back and continue from where they stopped. These thieves have failed woefully.....The only person I would manage to support with my eyes closed is Osibanjo instead of Tinubu.

Politicians put their self-interests first and their self Interests may not necessarily be the same as your interests.

DubaiLandLord2:
Boko Haram dey use owo abu shey abu la le jo.

If you know you know.

Boko Haram take tax matter serious pass almost all the state government in Nigeria.

Boko Haram believes in restructuring and true federalism, thus they are looking inwards to raise funds instead of depending on Federal allocations

Laggafin:
The man in bourdillon will not see that all the brastax is against him. Someone should help this man save him from impending doom

There is no doom anywhere sir.


Let Tinubu, El-Rufai, Kwankwanso, Tambuwal, Atiku and anyone who is interested in running for office do so.


We need at least 25 strong candidates to Join the race. This will make it difficult to manipulate.

JosephXavier:
Going by this write-up, the chances of Tinubu becoming the APC flag bearer is constantly diminishing but he won't read the handwriting on the wall

If Yorubas really want to field a candidate, there are some qualified persons like Adesina the AFDB president who has the capabilities and qualities and has also has intentions have intentions of contesting, but they prefer to promote the calamitous Tinubu

Nobody is fielding any body, individual politicians are fielding themselves.


Are the Igbos fielding Orji Uzor Kalu, Anyim Pius Anyim, Kingsley Moghalu and Dave Umahi?


Where did all Yorubas gathered to agree to field Tinubu and not field Adeshina?

SarkinYarki:
He hasn't even been elected and you are already denying his promise ..we remember how he said they will Make 1 naira equal to the dollar

Tinubu hasn't even declared to the public that he will run for office.


Primaries hasn't be held.

Campaign hasn't started.


All what you are hearing are just propaganda by his opponents.

basilo101:
Presidency may remain in the north if SW fail to support SE to have their turn

Political parties and not tribes or Regions contest for elections.

Individual aspirants are merely applicants seeking the approval and support of their parties to be the captains of the party's team in the electoral contests.

[quote author= post=109495415]We will know who know politics soon, Obasanjo lost Southwest during presidential election but still won in the North, Southeast and South South[/quote]No two elections are the same. The time, personalities and atmosphere are different.

1) It's time and preparations to win unless an aspirant inherit an already existing and intact political structure.

2) In a free and fair contest, it will be very difficult for Amaechi to win the APC Primaries.
However, the processes can be rigged for him to win the party's ticket.

3) The consequences of a rigged primaries for Amaechi will cause avoidable disenchantment in the party which will polarize the party.

4) Amaech's zone is opposition stronghold. The PDP greatest stronghold are the SE/SS.
Atiku/Obi most likely may win the SE and about 50% of the SS.

5) Unlike the 1999 election which was between the PDP and two other weak parties that had to hurriedly go into a shaking alliance, the 2023 will be between two formidable parties.
The aggrieved APC may work for the opposition to defeat the APC as the aggrieved PDP members did in 2015 which led to the defeat of the ruling PDP.

[quote author= post=109495163]Amaechi camp are in charge but most of you are ignorant to see the game going on in APC, they group are in charge they also control the judiciary, they started dealing with Tinubu when Abubakar Audu Kogi state governor elect died, when they frustrated Tinubu's boy from taking over, they played the same game in Bayelsa, Edo and just concluded Anambra election, they installed those loyal to them even if he is in another party, there are hundreds of reasons they will never hand power to Tinubu or his loyalist in west but you guys are too blind to see, After APC primary that will not favour Tinubu because of his desperate ambition and believe that he has the numbers to win the presidential race he will decamp from APC to another to contest he will still lose.[/quote]It's not really about Tinubu but Amaechi is most likely to be easier to defeat for the PDP.

However, there should be a level playing field in the APC so that whoever emerges as the winner of the Primaries can enjoy the support of all segments of the party and the APC can go to the election as a United family.

I just pray the Building collapsed, since they refuse to have sense.

But you know that God doesn't answer your prayers?

Onyiiobi7735:
Peter Obi would make a great president if he contests and wins.When he was governor in Anambra, he handled the state's economy and finances so well,and built up a robust financial reserves.

The presidential election is just a year away, alot of preparation will be needed to win, so it's better for him to join the race now.

Maxymilliano:
Religion in this part of the world is nothing but means of scamming gullible people now she enjoys what she might have been deprived off and the word hell never cross her mind

Who is bank rolling her Dubai trip?


I hope shildren of the Devil aren't trying to corrupt Mummy G.O by sponsoring her for a trip to Dubai?

Armaggedon:
PH is big no doubt but the simple question is, what good thing is PH known for?

seems you didn't see where I wrote 'based'. Nevertheless, even Duncan mighty didn't start in Portharcourt. I already wrote Chinwo and Rex Lawson was pre 1970.

PH is big and it's people like luxury. It should easily be the home of big names in music and a fertile ground for talented upcoming ones who are instead headed to lagos. What is happening?

Neither epic nor urban movies are done in PH. If Asaba, Enugu and Lagos are villages, why not Urban movies? The truth is that far away Abuja by far more has movies shot there than PH located in the East, a nollywood hub. That should be strange to you.

You are the one to calm down. Nobody is doubting its size.. But it appears the city is big for nothing.

But Port Harcourt is more developed than Enugu, Awka, Aba or Nnewi

Thermodynamics:
They know Wike is better, but they will rather vote Tinubu just because he is a Yoruba man, the Yorubas are very sentimental, tribalism will always cloud their judgement, they rather vote Tinubu and continue suffering, Tinubu when kill many Yoruba youth for Lekki tollgate.

Again you are wrong sir.

Most Yorubas are actually working for the emergence of Mr Onyesome Wike because they know he is a godly man.

ifiokjohn:
his relevancy couldn't win him Edo in the south or east. I guess his relevancy only start and end in the west... He won't even win the west with a high margin.. say 55/60% only and that will make him lose

Tinubu is a member of a political party.

In Nigeria, it's political parties that contest for elections.

Candidates are just captains of the party's team. I surprised that most people on this forum don't know this.

Thermodynamics:
Wike will win this election, Wike will make this country a better place, he is way better than that 70years old Goat with half past eye called Tinubu. The Yorubas know that Tinubu is a very big criminal and a bastard, but they won't do what they know is better for the country, instead they'll allow their tribalism cloud their judgement.

You are very wrong sir.



Yorubas are actually interested in the emergence of Nyesome Wike as the President of Nigeria.

Authoreety:
Tinubu killed the country by imposi g a mega dull head

I think the gods just revealed this to you sir?

Coolsperm:
We from the SS have never forgotten what Bola Tinubu and other Yoruba Muslims did to Jonathan

You need to convince at least 1000 expected voters with PVCs

Which one is Ebonyians?


Different parts of Ebonyi evolved differently but ONLY the people themselves can speak for themselves.

Ethnic Identities changes with time and I think that majority of the people of Ebonyi State now identify as Igbos.
