Fool

None of the analysts have been impressive so far - none is objective, just name calling and bias for GEJ and his government. Let some reasonable people analyze not just people who have even not read the budget but just picks on 900billion on Defence and security. Is it a new thing that Defence and Security takes the largest chunk of the Nigerian budget?

werepeLeri:
Where?

Evil Brain:
This is a silly article showing off the extremely poor quality of journalists we have in this country. I'm not claiming that Nigerian politicians are not thieves, but anyone can make unfounded allegations. If these people trully own all these properties, it shouldn't be difficult to pay someone in the UAE to dig up some property records.

One baseless article published in a tabloid rag is not evidence of anything. The Sun should find some proof or GTFO.

PLEASE THE POST I REFEREED YOU TO IS YOUR POST WHERE YOU ORDER ELECTRONICS FOR PEOPLE FROM UK OR WHERE YOUR USER NAME HACKED OR SOMETHING.IF YOU BUY PHONES FROM PEOPLE ON NAIRALAND THEN I NEED A MICROSCOPE TO VIEW YOU WELL COS YOUR POST SAYS YOU ORDER electronics for people FROM UK.SOME PEOPLE CAN'T SEEM TO AMAZE ME ON THIS SITE. your attitude is enough to explain the answer i gave a poster about dealing with UK and US



for the benefit of genuine buyers-his question was he heard a rumor that RIM is withdrawing blackberry service from branded phones and he answered it by going to Google to look for the answer which he didn't see.if you are looking for any thing and Google cannot provide it for you then it doesn't exist,his question is just like saying you are a manager of a company and you were given a car and when you resign,your company gave the  car to you,then the manufacturer of the car now came and  be fighting the engine of the car with you that they sold it to your company or rather tell road safety to ban you from driving the car on the road becos you are no longer with the company.just like they said RUMORS ARE CARRIED BY ENEMIES SPREAD BY IGNORANT AND ACCEPTED BY FOOLS WITHOUT INQUIRY. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRANDED AND UNBRANDED PHONES IS FOR NOVICE TO DIFFERENTIATE THE SEEDS FROM THE WEEDS TO AVOID GETTING CHINA PHONES. MOST US PHONES ARE BRANDED BECOS THEIR TELECOM HAS THE MONEY TO GO FOR THAT AND  ALSO TO REDUCE THE LOAD FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AND MOST UK PHONES ARE UNBRANDED BECOS THEY ARE IMPORTED BY SOME INDIVIDUALS.REMAIN BLESS!!!

mavinc4u:

sarduna and balewa have achieved alot, we can not forget what they did for us, they gave us unity, influence and dignity, one thing we can never forget, ojukwu has not given you anything, he made you worthless

sheyguy:
i dont av 2 go back and read up any history, u shld b the one making full and complete sentences here.
I know u av no idea of what i was trying to say b4 u jumped in uninvited. Ojukwu did not leave for cote d'voire, all the history books i av read so far says he fled to cote d'voire, why did the writer of the article had to go into all that details so early is what i was trying to point out in my comment.

alj_harem:
abeg relax biko

this are your people insulting other heros that are dead, what makes ojukwu(the worse of them) different

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-442465.0.html

^^^^^ that is for yaradua

so why curse ? others took it in good faith

Moreover Ojukwu did NOT achieve anything both physically and phycologically, no principle nothing at all that I can refer to Ojukwu on, other than killing 3 million Nigerians and run to Ivory coast.

JamesDoe:
Ok. RIP as I said, but my comments are not myth.

Mission was not accomplished, it was in fact abandoned.

If the mission was accomplished or not abandoned, will we be discussing here?

Nigerians are poor at finishing, why can't we recognise that though he may have had good intentions, his implementation and execution was poor. Add on his behaviour after the "pardon" and he falls short of a "hero".

Ojukwu is no Mandela. If you believe in something and hundred of thousands of your citizens die you don't abandon it just because some "fella" pardoned you. So by accepting the pardon, Ojuwku accepted he was wrong to fight Biafra? Rubbish!

RIP Mr Army man. Mission abandoned!

sheyguy:
wetin i do you na?enh  Bros?
If u want to refer to history that made him your hero, why not state what lead to the pogroms and arson u mentioned there. By telling one part of history you could be jeopardising someone elses history u know.
I no really get your time 4 now, because your points and argument supporting them r very weak to me.

namfav:
i didn't like him when he was alive for the things he did, i am not going to his grave to spit on it, i dont disrespect the dead, he will have to answer for what he did. of course we all die, that is the beauty of life   the rest is memories
from him we came from to him we will return

JamesDoe:
He finally joins the millions that his actions and inactions caused.

His death should not be glorified because his actions after the war of dining with and plotting with those who committed genocide should not be forgotten.

By accepting a "pardon" and collaborating with the same b.ast.ards who committed atrocities, Lt Col Ojukwu (Rtd) has shown he abandoned his "people" in his later years.

People should weep for the dead, the injured, the starved, the children and innocents killed at Asaba, Onitsha and elsewhere but don't weep for a dead army man. He failed his mission.

RIP Mr Soldier, mission not accomplished!

sheyguy:
was that really necesary? Abba!!!

Ruq:
Good Riddance. But your people will miss you.

Rhino.5dm:
YouWin is a scam. The most pitiable acts of deceit in recent times coined by scammers.and their cohorts.

Imagine using 50 billion naira to create 1200 fake jobs .

Beaf is among the crooks enjoying the scheme. The dolt is busy attacking anyone with contrary view of this useless government. You still wonder why he was able to acquire a 300 million mansion in Asokoro even without any history of tangible employment.

lagos26:
Reuben Abati's write up was only an opinion not a fact. People should always
try and read between the line before throwing insulting jabs,


So now he has changed that opinion ehn Voltron?

twinstaiye:
This is not a big deal. He wrote this as a journalist. He isn't even a politician, anything he wrote in the past about the preisdent, he is merely doing his job and we all know he is good at it,same goes now, anything he is doing now, he is merely doing his job, so that when he eventually leave,we will all agreed he is good at it.

Doesn't change your status as a weak-minded simpleton who doesn't recognise failure even if it sat on his face.
Go and change your little boy's nappies,abeg.

Weak-minded simpleton

Chinua Achebe's an Overrated Ingrate; Wetin im write sef after "Things Fall Apart"? How can he win the Nobel Prize with just that? I think the proud Egomaniac should have accepted the undeserved award. Wetin im don do for Nigerian education sef? Soyinka won the Nobel Prize in 1986 and returned to the "bushy" campus of the then University of Ife despite being lured by several Ivy League Schools in the States.

adigun101:
Some times some of u have to read before leaping to conclusions.
GEJ never used the word ignorant.
This was due to the stupidity of the @OP.
He just expressed surprise that achebe thinks that the situation in Nigeria is still same as the first time he turned down the awards.

As at the time , anambra was a war zone and PDP was in power.
Today that is not the case.
Even a keenly contested senatorial election in his own senatorial zone was between Chris Ngige on ACN and Dora Akunyilu of APGA with PDP nowhere in sight.
At the end the right candidate won.

A lot has changed , Jega put in a lot of effort , let us be honest.

cjfavour:
AGAIN PA ACHEBE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE TRAIT THAT IGBOS WERE KNOWN FOR. I THOUGHT THERE IS NO MODEL IN IGBO land but okorocha,ngige and Pa chinua achebe have continue to give us hope that it's not everybody/politicians are evil and anti people like those in leadership position in d country. ONWA NA ETIRI NDIGBO ,N'EGO NDI IGBO NA NDI NIGERIA UZO. PA ,YOU WILL LIVE LONG.
