kunle4toyeyaho:
How did he betray GEJ. Why didn't GEJ allow elective convention of PDP in 2013? What did GEJ do to save Amaechi from suspension by PDP rivers? What did GEJ do to prevent NWC from recognising Felix Obua faction instead of Gov. Amaechi's Wilson Ake faction. To me,Amaechi did not betray him,he pushed Amaechi out of the party.So,you expected Amaechi who was a sitting Governor without the control of party structure in the state to remain in the party?

Well, when you put it this way, one would want to understand with Amaechi why he did what he did; because it seems he was pushed beyond his breaking point.

But was that the only option left for him? I don’t think.

Osinbajo was done the same thing in the just concluded electioneering process. From being called unprintable names by Tinubu supporters to being rigged out in highly flawed party convention with accusations of dollarization and delegates being handed ballot papers with a candidate’s name already written on it.

Osinbajo after seeing and going through all these had the option to try to rock the boat like Amaechi did in 2015 but he didn’t. Because the whole thing had taken an ethnic dimension with what was presented as Yoruba agenda, I’m sure Osinbajo knew it would be stupid if he was seen as being a clog in the wheel of Yoruba success.

See, a lot of things in life are not handled with brawl. Because it was a southern agenda, and a Southsouth agenda in particular at that, Amaechi was wrong to have taken the steps he took in 2015 against his fellow Southsouth man no matter the provocation.

Penguin2, there seems to be some serious paranoia in your post but I have some follow up questions regardless.

Why will "you people" wish for whoever to deny their Igbo heritage, what exactly would they benefit from it?

Who are the powers that be that want Igbo's to deny their heritage and what concerted efforts are they making?

I genuinely thought something had happened recently on Nairaland to start this raft of igbo not Igbo posts, because we didn't have it last week, and wanted to find out the source.

Well, because you asked nicely and talked reasonably, I’ll answer you.

The new debate started after Sunday Oliseh said in an interview earlier in the week that he’s not Igbo.

Now, many of his kinsmen (not Southeast Igbos, I’m talking of Delta Igbos) have called him out for the statement as they argued that they are Igbos.

That’s what resurrected the Southeast Igbos and Southsouth Igbos argument.

Osubande owed nobody any explanation or allegiance before doing what he likes.

He invited the brightest minds, not those political jobbers who you must send brown envelope to before they show up and Soyinka is one of those.

Osubande, owes buhari nothing. If he was not a gentleman to the core, he would have long fallen out with buhari in the Obj and Atiku fashion. Have you forgotten so soon, the hell yemi saw in the Villa? It can only be compared to wetin Musa see for gate.

Why should he be considering a Tinubu before inviting those he wants to relate with to his event?

Have we all forgotten how Tinubu and his lapdogs villified him for daring to aspire to be president?

As he winds up his tenure, no doubt he has carved a role for himself outside of government influence, he's going back to his chambers to face his business and spend more time with his constituent.

True.

It’s quite obvious Osinbajo did what he did to send a clear message of where he stands in the entire fiasco. That he’s not part of election riggers or part of those who would defend the sham election conducted by INEC.

And just yesterday, he was at an event of the PDP people.

Politics › Why Did Osinbajo Invite Chimamanda, And Not Soyinka, To His Book Launch? by Penguin2(op): 6:55am On May 07, 2023

You recall that Osinbajo recently held a book launch. It was in that book launch that the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, said, in a speech, that Nigeria lost in not making Osinbajo president.

That speech generated a lot of ripples in the Tinubu camp, as expected, but men of conscience know that the Emir said the truth.

But away from SLS’ speech, another significant thing that happened in that occasion is that the Vice President opted to invite Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to that book launch despite her recent open letter to the president of the United States, Joe Biden, against the conduct of the just concluded Nigerian election which led to a lot of brawl between her and the APC camp, or should I say the Tinubu camp.

Now, before Chimamanda Soyinka was. And this expression is true both in age, attainment of literary success and in dabbling into the conduct of the elections.

Just in case what I said above isn’t clear enough, I am saying that when it comes to literary success, that Prof Soyinka won his Nobel Laureate in Literature when Chimamanda was still possibly in Primary School. So if anyone wants to honour or invite people who have achieved literary success, Soyinka should be considered first. But Osinbajo had other ideas.

Osinbajo opted to invite Chimamanda to his book launch after she had written an open letter against the conduct of the election, granted an interview on national TV against the govt which Osinbajo is the Vice President in, and even exchanged some banters online with supporters of Tinubu.

Now, not only did he extend an official invitation to her, he also posed for photographs with her and caused same to be released in the internet.

So, what message do you think was Osinbajo trying to send because only shortsighted persons would think it was just a book launch.

SS dey like Tower of Babel with many tribes and SE na strictly ndigbo. The only Igbo enclave in SS is Asaba and a few adjacent communities, everything else nor be Igbo.

SS and SE are different.

Daalu.

What do you people gain in causing division amongst brothers?

Or are you so pained by the renaissance that is happening amongst Southsouth Igbos who are now openly embracing their Igbo identity against you people’s wishes which is that they should deny being Igbo?

Your Southwest press spent decades propagating falsehoods and false narratives towards ensuring that Southsouth Igbos deny their Igbo identity. But the advent of social media has exposed a lot of lies told by your ancestors against the Igbos and the victims (Southsouth Igbos) are beginning to use their tongue to count their teeth.

But that is troubling to you. And that’s why you created this thread claiming false identity of who you are not.

First, the few Igbo words you tried to write were terribly written which shows you have not connection with Igbo.

Second, you claimed the Igbo ‘enclave’ is Asaba. Enclave? That’s Elrufai’s word and no true Igbo son will reecho that gibberish from Elrufai.

Again, no true Igbo son will say that Asaba is the only Igbo area in Southsouth.

What happened to Agbor, Ika, Ukwuani, and other Igbo territories in Delta?

What happened to the Igbanke People of Edo State?

What happened to the Obigbo People of Rivers State?

What happened to even the Ikwerre, Ahaoda, Opobo, Etche, Egbema, and other Igbo clans of Rivers State?

There are also Igbos in some parts of Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers.

So, no true Igbo son will leave these people and claim that the only “Igbo enclave” is Asaba.

Look, this place you are going to, your fathers didn’t succeed there in the dark ages; it would amount to foolhardiness for you to think you can make anything out of it in this Digital Age that the right information is now everywhere.

Point number two is, having been made an internally displaced person in APC, it’s time to start making overtures to other political camps so he can find a political shelter for himself.

Amaechi will forever regret betraying Jonathan.

But I think there’s a curse that always follows all Rivers State governors; from Peter Odili to Amaechi and now Wike. Wike’s own is even up to the level of madness.

Foreign Affairs › Ndukwe Onuoha Elected Councilor In The UK Under LP by Penguin2(op): 10:35pm On May 06, 2023

Ndukwe Onuoha, a British-Nigerian poet, has been elected a councillor in his ward.

He was elected on the platform of the Labour Party to represent the Mackworth and New Zealand ward in Derby City Council.

Onuoha, nominated by his party in November 2022, was the only candidate of African descent to have emerged winner.

The Derby council announced the poet’s victory via a tweet on Friday.

“MACKWORTH & NEW ZEALAND RESULTS
Ndukwe Onuoha (Labour), Gaurav Pandey (Conservatives), John Whitby (Labour) have been elected. Labour GAIN,” the council tweeted.

The Derby council said Onuoha polled 1,168 votes to become councillor.

Nwando Umeh, another Nigerian and a Labour Party candidate, contested as one of the representatives of the Mackworth and New Zealand ward, but lost after she polled 1,084 votes, the council said.

The law provides that a British or a citizen of the commonwealth – to which Nigeria belongs, having been colonised by the British – is eligible to contest for a councillor position in the UK.

No matter what the courts decide, it won’t change the fact that Nigerians voted for Peter Obi of the Labour Party in their majority to become president of Nigeria. But INEC in collusion with criminals manipulated the result to the contrary.

This truth I shall hold and defend for the rest of my life and even write it in history books, like the 1993 elections has always been defended. I’m sure elements like you must have supported the government of the day (IBB) in his decision to annul the election. But men of conscience who see truth and defend it stood their ground to insist that the right outcome of the election must be told. These men went ahead to stand against the government and fought for democracy and the truth until the got it.

So, my friend, don’t expect me to abandon my moniker even if Tinubu and Shettima do 8 years each. I will be here to remind the world and all Nigerians that they are mandate thieves and social misfits who got away with murder and robbery.

This analogy does not go in tandem with Nigerian states and FCT. Mathematics and English are unrelated subjects whereas FCT and other states are in Nigeria. In fact, FCT was carved out from some states!
FCT is like a subset of Nigeria like other states!

Not really! That's also a mistake.

If Nigeria is A, Abuja or other states can be B.
B is a subset of A.

There’s a reason why Law is an art, different from pure science.

So, talking about sets and subsets might not work here.

But even in science, there are laws governing every scientific realities and outcomes.

It would take 2 HYDROGEN atoms and one OXYGEN atom to make WATER.

Now, do you mean to contend that if you go into the Laboratory and use 1 HYDROGEN atom and 2 OXYGEN atoms, you would still get water 💦? Or that if you use 20 HYDROGEN atoms without any OXYGEN atom, you will still get water? You know you won’t.

So, the scientific dimension you want to take the argument to is even governed by stricter laws that most be followed with precision.

And just like scientific laws, social laws must also be followed to the later.

To be declared president in Nigeria, you must get 25% in FCT and Tinubu failed to get it. Therefore, his declaration is null and void and has no legal foundation to stand.

We live in a world guided by laws, rules and regulations.

In my instance, just like the election, the law was explicit that you must score credit in English and Mathematics. You are made to be aware of this reality right before you even sit for WAEC so you know which subjects to take most seriously and which ones to take not so seriously. This is why the regulating body would be justified to deny you admission if at the end of the day you fail to make credit in English and Mathematics because you were made aware of the rule/law.

Azman has a corporate account which is compulsory for all registered companies,talkless one that is being paid from a CBN account.
Secondly,that you believe Airpeace was ready to transport the stranded Nigerians for free,shows how gullible some Nigerians are.
If indeed Airpeace was ready to do it for free,then the airline business model should be looked into because it will no longer be a true business,but rather a money laundering enterprise in the guise of an airline.
Let's use our brains sometimes,God gave it to us for a reason and not allow anyone that can put something out on the internet to continue making f ools of us.
Finally,even ₦150m is not such an astronomical sum for an airline to fly a plane to Sudan to transport say 1000 people back to Nigeria.
Assuming normal fair is ₦150k from Sudan;1000 alone gives u ₦150m,asides the business risk involved in undertaking such a flight.Landing fees has to be paid in Sudan and maybe another stop before they return to Nigeria.Factor in aviation fuel for a fro journey and u would realise even the ₦150m is a bargain fare.
