Seriously speaking, the South west needs to rejuvenate its cities. You might disagree until you do an unbiased comparison with other Southern cities.

In the same post he insulted Obi and still accuse his supporters of insulting others.

Once a South westerner feels treathened against Igbos he comes up with "Igbos are insulting others".

So both DSS, Army, Police etc are not aware of these people?

If they are, what have they been doing about them?

Yes, it's time to make a bold claim to Nigeria politics. It's time for the Igbo man to face real politics. Ultimately, let the best man lead Nigeria

Economy ticked ok
Education ticked ok
Entertainment ticked ok
Agriculture ticked ok
Sports ticked ok
etc

What of those whose children died before them, who will take care of them at old age.

Every job has a retirement age except the presidency of Nigeria. We practice gerontocracy in Nigeria.

Simon has been bought by those who need to disenfranchise the East.
He's details and location are well known but he's been left to propagate violence.

It's good you trust her but dont leave her alone with a Cousin not even your brother for that long. It's either they get too close or they will fight each other.

Do not set up a temptation for either of them, anyone can fall unintentionally. At worst, bring in another person to join them.

flokii:
Stop the lies.. Ironsi was fully aware of that coup that killed Tafawa Balewa and it was an Igbo orchestrated affair to seize power, just that some unfortunate and naive Yorubas were among them.

Ask yourself how and why Azikiwe escaped the coup that killed prominent Nigerians from other tribes except the Igbos.. the Northerners took their revenge, killed Ironsi and many Igbos living in the North and have sworn never to allow Igbos rule Nigeria.
It's still the tribalism of the Igbos that we are talking of that made them kill other tribes while they tipped their own brothers to flee the country.

Was Gowon aware of the Coup that removed him,how come he too was not in the country?

Bakare is scared of his people's ambitions falling flat in 2023. He had to invent a lie and resort to the old tactics of Igbophobia. How come Bakare who has been nursing presidential ambition is the one removing a curse for an Igbo man to be president? He is resorting to the usual slimy nature in him.

Mindlog:
Simon is/was part of IPOB, ignoring him for now serves a purpose while the innocent citizens and the security agents are collateral damage.

They want igbos to be the ones to lead the fight against IPOB, ESN, Simon Ekpa and the unknown gunmen.

If the govt considers the citizens and its own security forces as collateral damage, what then is the difference between the supposed terrorists and the govt? That sounds like Putin's strategy in Ukrain.

festacman:
Peter Obi and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo are good presidential materials but they have some key hurdles to jump over:

1 Prof. Osinbajo has no established political structure since he had always depended on Tinubu's structure before now. Yes, he has some governors, NASS members and some notable politicians with him but it is difficult to evaluate such support for now.

In addition, he has the burden of having served under Pres. Buhari though the office of VP in presidential democracy is a mere "spare tyre". Even Tinubu's own media houses are already projecting this 'burden' to demarket him.

Beyond his constitutional position of chairmaning the periodic meeting with State governors under National Economic Council, the brief period he acted as the President created enmity with Buhari's inner caucus.

2. Peter Obi lacks networking beyond Anambra politics. Like Willie Obiano, Peter Obi as governor minded his business in Awka and didn't build bridges. As he goes around consulting, his entourage is scanty and he is not ready to spend his money around to hire entourage. Yes, many young people on Social media support him but what about the talakawas in the North who have been falsely told that Peter Obi as governor deported Northerners from the Anambra state.

Unfortunately, APGA which will be the first political casualty of Obi's presidency has started fighting back, asking who in his right sense would save money in bank while Anambra State was crying for vital infrastructure. They insisted some of his money market investments will mature in 2030, which in the face of inflation was a bad decision. It also insisted that Peter Obi's IGR numbers are questionably low compared to Obiano's.

The task ahead for them is tough but not insurmountable.

So Obi who became a VP candidate from same Awka didn't build bridges nor has a network? I suppose he built a canoe and was sleeping when Atiku called?

Mindlog:
Because they "appreciate" his nuisance value for now, his actions are helping put IPOB on the defensive.

Meaning they are in support of the nuisance in the East. What do we call a govt supporting "supposed terrorist" against innocent citizens even when its security agents are dieing?

The fact that the govt kept quiet about the Ekpa guy ranting from Finland is a suspect for me, not even Lai Mohammed has said a word.

With the level of hatred the FG has on IPOB, keeping quiet when there is Finland embassy in Nigeria is quite interesting.

Yes, they will be unveiled on May 29, 2023.

At the rate Wike is going his future is national politics is bleak

Less than 1million. Just enough for foundation blocks. Thanks to Nairaland property section

The more you wait, the more building materials increase and the little you have lose value.

Why then did he/she come for the interview?

Why is it even called an interview if he/she is not ready to answer question, it should have been a CV reading session.

These want to scatter South West votes for Tinubu. Tinubu can no longer boast of having his zone in his pocket.

The South West candidates are intoxicated by power, no one is creating any division amongst them. Right now, none of them is seeing clearly because of the prospect of being the president.

Consensus is a strategy to beat money bags, that's a slow poison that renders money bags inefficient.

Better late than never, he erred on the side of caution and it is better and forgivable

Even as a pastor and a lawyer, he does not believe in equity and fairness to other regions.

Handsum64:
You see the crab mentality of the South.
Pull him down syndrome
What the North will never do

Remind me who backstabbed GEJ in 2015?

What of Tinubu that betrayed Afenifere and the NADECO group that made him? Maybe it's karma at work and the cycle continues.

This is a case of Tinubu do your worst.

You deputised a disaster, represented him everywhere, kept shut whem we needed to hear you speak yet believes you are not part of the failures of the govt.

Atiku, Tinubu, Buhari wanted presidency for their personal ambition that's why we are in this mess. All they need is the title and the power not the service to the masses.

That's a perfect description for Dino

The fact that Joe Igbokwe could not produce the evidence that Amechi said he is not Igbo shows how shallow his thinking were.

This lady deserves Heaven, she was inspirational. May her soul rest in peace!!

[quote author=9jalyte post=111768541][/quote]You are deflecting from your line of thought because same you who brought in the concept of "an enemy" in this conversation is turning around to pontificate on how not to have an enemy. The fact is simple, whoever is behind the killings in the East is doing a disservice to every Igbo anywhere and should be made to account for it.

But you and the government who stand behind and continue to act in a provocative manner to exacerbate the crises have your full share of the blame. And don't go into the blackmailing route of regional alliance except you think Nigeria politics started in 2015.

9jalyte:
A man can live for years with his known enemies in confidence even when they throw threats, but he cannot survive the dagger in his household

So let's exonerate the enemy because there is a dagger in the household. Not minding the dagger was brought into the household by the enemy.

9jalyte:
This is my fear, when a man who heard the prediction of his destruction from the mouth of his enemy and decides to take a bath with petrol near the fire place, it means he is already hearing the call of death and about to answer.

While cautioning the man ignorantly bathing with petrol, do not keep silent or go to sleep while his enemy threatens him with death. Endeavour to caution the enemy too.
