It shows how careless you are with throwing baseless accusations around that you use the term "forgery" for what is at worst a lie - for what you claim to amount to "forgery", Tinubu would have had to have forged a certificate from said school, and I bet you couldn't turn up a credible source for that claim if your life depended on it.

In any case, even if Tinubu lied about his secondary school and other things besides, none of that absolves Peter Obi of his many outright crimes for which there is rock-solid evidence. Obi has even been forced to admit to some of them himself, and then tried to excuse his misdeeds with nonsensical excuses that you and your fellow "Obidients" are happy to swallow uncritically while scrutinising Tinubu's every word and deed. There is no justification for parking government funds in a bank you own and using said funds to prop up a family business while allowing civil servants to go hungry and roads to go unrepaired - this is criminal conduct of the cruelest and most irresponsible kind. Transporting security vote cash to Lagos is outright theft of government funds. Both of these things would remain true even if Tinubu was himself the master forger in Oluwole.

You can't expect anyone to take your supposed outrage about Tinubu seriously while you ignore far worse things than hiring a bullion van as a private citizen.

PROUDIGBO:
Can you quote the posts of mine that gratuitously insulted anyone for saying Biafra should be a heterogeneous country made up of all the ethnicities Mazi Kanu and others wanted to be a part of it!? Because that’s what your post implies.

When i do insult anyone it’s in reply to them drawing First Blood! I don’t just go about insulting people who i perceive aren’t deserving of it!

omohayek:
No, Obidients prefer their thieving politicians to be unambiguously crooked, so rather than merely renting bullion vans (which breaks no laws), they prefer their leaders steal security vote cash and then get nabbed red-handed transporting it in broad daylight to Lagos.

Rather than alleged "certificate forgery" which was denied outright by CSU under oath in an American court, Obidients prefer stone cold, brazen criminality like a governor refusing to pay teachers and doctors for over a year while parking the money allocated for that purpose in a bank he partially owns, and then illegally setting up offshore accounts in a tax haven 4 years into his governorship.

Obidients are such upstanding people that they have no problem inventing allegations of "identity theft" out of whole cloth - in the exact same manner they alleged Buhari was actually "Jubril from Sudan" before they switched from chanting "Biafra" to painting Peter "Pandora" Obi as the second coming of Jesus himself. That the mediocrity of no fixed convictions they were parading as a saint had been busted using government money to prop up a beer company fronted for him by his parents proved no obstacle to Obidients deifying this supposed "graduate" too ashamed to share his own certificate with INEC, even as he was trying to point fingers at a candidate whose American university had already attested to his attendance and graduation.

That's the problem with you Obidients: you fail to understand just how transparent your motivations are, and how badly your hypocritical accusations stink of hypocrisy born of tribalism. Tinubu and Atiku supporters have no delusions about the moral character of their candidates, but you lot insist on pouring old wine into a new wineskin, in the guise of a Peter Obi whose first venture into public life was more than 25 years ago under the kleptomaniac Abacha, as if he weren't part and parcel of the establishment for most of that time, even running as Atiku's VP candidate as recently as 2019!

One of these four Nigerian men stabbed a seventy year old woman in the chest and killed her, in order to steal her handbag. This happened during the day in a shopping centre carpark, in front of her six year old grand daughter.

Don’t know why this guy is mentioning me in his idiotic post! On that referendum thread of a few days ago, i equally dismissed the entire charade once i saw it was coming from the ekpa scoundrel…..a shameless efulefu agent of the hegemonic Nigerian state! All he’s trying and instructed to do is to seize the narrative from Mazi Kanu and IPOB, and try to give the impression that he is the face and voice of the secessionist organisation! This is one of the reasons the evil Buhari/Tinubu gov’t is still illegally incarcerating Mazi Kanu in prison….just so they can perfect their plans as well as keep him from talking!

I have reiterated that i no more agree with the inclusion of other ethnicities in the East in the Biafra/secession project, and after so much water has passed under the bridge, i would hope Mazi Kanu would have changed his position too on this! As recently as say three years ago, i was naively all for the retention of the old Biafra map….with the inclusion of Igbo from Benue, Delta and Rivers states! But i’m better informed today, and want just a homogeneous Igbo Republic! If at all we’re to include any other groups, i’m only comfortable with including the Akwa/Cross and our Opobo/Bonny cousins in a federal or confederal arrangement…with each group owning their own resources, free to develop at their own pace, and free to leave the union whenever it suits them! This is something ‘one Nigeria’ as owned and controlled by the Fulani/Yoruba hegemonic alliance is not prepared to agree to!

Tony Nnadis’ own is just to sit and blow plenty grammar thinking this will move his oppressors into acceding to his argument and demands! He doesn’t know the people he’s dealing with! Since he’s been yapping for more than a decade now, what has changed!? His own argument is even worse in that his Lower-Niger map includes the ENTIRE freaking southern Nigeria……and i think part of the middle-belt!

Your wife don see the vagina tighten cream?


She dey complain say your preek small

wediehere1:
even penguin2 too is avoiding this thread

wediehere1:
so no more Biafra?

wediehere1:
Biafra momentum has drastically reduced
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is really in charge

dalongjnr:
This is how a rough play cost someone his life.
May we never be victims of someone's carelessness, Amen.

softwareman:
You have not said anything. Aside from what tinubu has done, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU OR YOUR PETER OBI WILL DO DIFFRENTLY?
The truth is that tinubu's policies and programmes will fix this economy in SIX MONTHS TIME.
There is no other better option. If you know, state it and let's debate it.
ANY OYHER TALK IS POLITICAL GOBBLEDEGOOK!!

ElSudani:
This loser is still on the election! Who the hell is he to judge why people vote the way they vote?
Cast your one vote, move ahead and let others cast their's whichever way they choose to. It is not democracy when you blackmail and coerce people to vote the way you did.
Rufai is a dumb blowhard. I don't see him chastise politicians who practically turned church events to political rallies.

Both the ground and the sky are on the run.

I want to thank Southeasterners who defied the false propaganda that the place is unsafe, and returned in their droves to celebrate the Xmas and New year festivities. 2024 has opened up with a new wave of insecurity, kidnappings, assassinations, herdsmen attacks and terrorism. We pray for those affected and hope that government can do something to address these insecurity challenges

However, as we can see from the reports coming in, the South East the least affected by the insecurity. With the exception of Imo State, other States in the South Eastvare largely peaceful

chrisxxx:
I am presently watching the game Nigeria vs Angola. Fans around me here front and back from all indications are predominantly people from South East. They are hailing every player Ademola inclusive. Some are asking the coach to introduce Yusuf in place of iwobi. Yosuf looks like Hausa name. Oh! They are hailing Musa. They said Musa has joined the coaching crew. They even are saying Musa is instrumental to the success of the coaching crew.
Do we still want the country divided?

yarimo:
Well done president TINUBU of Nigeria

yarimo:
Obi should keep praying Nigeria win or else he must be arrested

yarimo:
Peter obi has carried his bad luck to them he must be arrested if Nigeria lost the match

blacknp:
Paramakina202 no wonder you be Nnamdi Kanu person?

I am still waiting for your colleague Colorado Bobloco to reveal his state of origin.

nairalanda1:
Or we fund it better and spend more money on it.

nairalanda1:
It does not matter what governors say. There are many in APC, governors inclusive, who advocated for state police. Where are they now.?

A criminal will always arm themselves, either way, you need a well funded state police to deal with them. Unless you want us to lie to ourselves, the funds are not there. This is not pessimisim, this is cold hard fact.

nairalanda1:
Yes, because we cannot afford it.

We have a low tax to gdp ratio. Anytime I mention that , and mention the need to increase it on this site, I get a lot of abuse, insults, and the usual 'The government would chop the monney anyway, so why bother'.(ANd I also get called a tinubu supporter. Lol).

Yep, if this is how most people here think.....yep, I am pessimistic. After all, even the parties have difficulty raising money from faithful party members. So, what makes you think they would pay more in taxes?

I am not opposed to state police ultimately, but I know Nigerians. There is a reason why we have a federal police.

nairalanda1:
Well, even then, either we raise our tax to gdp, and states become more productive, then we can get state police.

OIl money is already over extended.

nairalanda1:
Well, 800 million cannot fund state police. Not even one billion. A state needs many times that. Corruption is also evil and must be dealt with.

Boko Haram funds itself by raiding and robbery...and they also benefited from the glut of weapons brought in from LIbya when GHaddafi fell from power. And they fight unconventionally. They attack a small village, kill people , scare everyone...and run off before the armed services come in. Did I mention the village is usually remote? That's the game they play...to scare people. In reality, they have been on the retreat since 2014 and they no longer have the capacity to bomb cities like they used to do.

Bandits, kidnap people, use them as human shields. And if the cops went in in full force, they would kill the captives, and then go and face the cops. Hence everyone is now 'negotiating'.

But to the topic...we need far more than a billion to fund state police. We need to build training facilites, forensics, communuications, transport, even a small prision service, etc etc, etc.

nairalanda1:
State police cannot work in NIgeria.

Now, before you start calling me anti-progress, and anti-People, and fulani lackey, I believe that every state should have a police force. But in NIgeria, we got two issues

1.Most of the states do not have the funding to fund a properly equipped police force. Yes, the security votes they give governors could help, but to form a police force, with working equipment, forensics, training, and well armed is going to take more than just security vote.

Our current VP when he was governor used his security vote one year to buy 48 hilux trucks for the security forces. NOw imagine he was fuding state police. THat means after buying the hilux, he has no cash left over. OK.o. And value of naira has fallen since 2013.

2.Tribal and religious bias. SO what happens when there is tribal and religious conflict, and the police is majoirty from one side of the tribe? SOme people can still remember the pogroms of the 1960's. Police could do nothing. MOst of them were from one side.

ANyway, until states are ready to tax more of their gdp, and until we wake up and realize why we need fairness, we are not ready for state police. (Splitting the country won't solve the problems either)
