Sometimes I feel like ignoring people like you because it's obvious you lack proper knowledge of a modern society. What made Igbos come to Southwest is samething that made Shell, Chevron, DSTV and co leave their better countries to Nigeria. They saw opportunities where you are seeing problems. Chinese are all over the countries making money here but people like you with warpped sense of entitlement will sit in a corner and complain. People like you hate competition but healthy competition is what is developing other countries. So next time you think of asking an Igbo what he is doing in Southwest first go and ask a Chinese what he is doing in Nigeria, after all Nigeria is not better than China.

GentleToks:
Keep your mouth shut and stop playing victims.
Who forced you and your freaking kinsmen to come to South West .
Is Yoruba tradition has any similarity with Hausas/Fulanis tradition right from genesis? No.
Is Yoruba or Igbo tradition has anything in common? No. We are different people.
Would u go to the North and say a shiit about prophet Muhammad? No I presumed but you can do that in the South without any consequence.

What is your contact?

It's expected of the opposition to tell lies but my fear is what becomes our fate if our leaders are expert in lies? I pity Buhari because he is surrounded and caged by men who tutored the devil on how to lie.

Until we build institutions that stand the test of time, all the one man show and messaic expectations will always fail us. I listened to him deliver this speech and I was proud of him. What we should ask ourselves is "after Buhari what next?" The rhetoric of fighting corruption without building sound institutions will fail regardless of how many men we send to prison. If the fear of jail was enough, IBB's administration would have been corruption free since Buhari jailed "corrupt" men. Like he said, corruption is just a symptom of a deficiency in our way of life. The fight against corruption is necessary but not enough to save Nigeria.

This is more complex than WW2. Lol @ ISIS fighting everybody.

Imagine how much Okonjo Iweala would have sued Oshiomole for for his countless accusations? This guy has forgotten so soon how much he accused JEG of stealing without showing us any evidence. Am happy how he's reaping what he sowed so soon.

I hate Boko Haram with passion but this kind of statement doesn't sound strategic at all. You don't openly dare a dieing lion because it could still roar and kill. Innocent men are dieing and our Oga at the top is bragging.

This is very creative as long as they will live up to their own part of the bargain.

We experienced Ghana-must-go in his first coming, his second coming is giving us Investors-must-go. A man who never managed a business for over 30years may find it difficult to understand why investors are leaving just because it is taking him 4 months to appoint his cabinet.

You are too blessed to be cursed, congrats Madam

The question is; who gave a copy of the forged passport to SR in the first place?

Was it meant to be used as a tool to attack saraki or what?

It's simple, any one who can forge Toronto certificate can as well forge international passport. They are the "reliable sources" of Sahara reporters.

Abagworo:
These are some of the dividents of radio biafra. Igbos know very well that they have thrived in urban and rural nooks and crannies of Nigeria by establishing a micro retail chain. This is only possible through peaceful coexistence which helped in relationship bonding in form of marriages, friendship and even property acquisition with the host communities.

The kind of danger this recent Jonathan's politics and its birth child radio biafra is putting Igbos will be unimaginable when eshold is reached. Igbo elders should as a matter of urgency call the ignorant Nnamdi Kanu to order or we might wake up one day to read that 10million Igbos have been killed by a gang up of every other ethnic group in Nigeria.

so all was well in Nigeria until Nnamdi KANU starting his troubles and Jonathan became a president? You are more learned than this.

Alcatraz001:
na una fault? I blame we yorubas especially our leadership for this.


All Tinubu is concerned about is gaining the whole World while we are losing Lagos.

I thank God people are now waking up.

OPC sef don follow money go.......Gain Adams disappointed ALL Yoruba's when he followed Jonathan last elections.

if OPC can get it's act back then the problem will be settled once and for all.

Why are you calling on Tinubu and OPC, did the traders collect your land with gun and bullets? Your mate beats you in school and you go home to call your parents...shame on you.

tenderlaw:
This imam is a joke. So fayose "made" a Muslim a senator How did he do that? This statement is enough for a probe. Maybe Fayose sat in his bedroom and did all the election thumb printing personally. Issorait.

Maybe same way Tinubu made Osinbajo a VP.

Amechi is praying and fasting that the tribunal nullifies Rivers election. Then you will hear him arrogantly tell you why he failed to show up. There are few politicians in the country who believe they never do any wrong and one of them is Amechi.

Am following religiously.

Am laughing so hard here, it's gradually dawning on them all. He wanted to be a national hero and another Zik who chose Nigeria over Igbos when it mattered most. I don't know about tomorrow but if Nigeria remains in its current structure, Rocha's and Amechi will end in plenty regrets for their betrayal. The people they faught for shall betray them badly. Both of them shall become reference point in future Secondary school govt text books


Welcome to the world of the 5%

I still don't understand the sense in re-construction when the war is not yet won.

Very impressive, you've inspired me.

Gbawe:
Some people simply don't understand that Buhari is being very clever. Buhari is putting public pressure on others at different level of governance. A governor who will not declare his asset, when others have, will soon be seen as a leader with something to hide by the electorate. The "don't give a damn" refusal of GEJ to declare his asset was one of the things that put the public off our former President. That was the point many Nigerians realised Jonathan is corrupt and working for 'awon boyz' and not for ordinary Nigerians. well done Mr.President. We are in a democracy but a smart president will know how to use public pressure to whip leaders in line. Buhari's aim, ultimately, is to create a society where leaders are more accountable to the people.

While I agree that Buhari is putting pressure on other leaders to declare, these leaders will also cleverly tell us that they have declared using the same argument Buhari's spokes man used earlier when he defended Buhari's failure to publicly declare. More so, the later part of your post may end in a wish that may never happen because when Lagos and other states failed to domesticate FOI after FG passed the law their supporters never believed they were hidding something.

Reski:
Igbo's have this hatred for anything or anybody that is not of igbo extraction. That is why the nickname Nigerian jews befits them perfectly.
Secondly even if Buhari gives all the ministerial slots to the southeast they will never support his goverment. Because their hatred is not born out of the fact that they want good governance or a better Nigeria or beleive in the same principle of federal character they are shouting about or the unity of Nigeria (hypocracy of the highest order).
Igbo's should play opposition. besides even if igbo's are not given a single top position heaven will not fall and buhari will be re-elected again in 2019 without their votes.
Igbo's are not the largest or the most important ethnic group in Nigeria. So trying to please them is for me is a waste of time. Let them wail cry or whatever infact even secede Nigeria will continue to succeed with or without them.

If you believe they hate every other ethnic group why not simply let them go and form a country of their own? Some of you make comments that sound annoying. When they voted Yaradua and Obj at the expense of some of their own including Ojukwu himself did you term it hatred for other groups? Few years ago the mantra was that Igbo's are not politically united, GEJ came and they proved they are united and people like you turn around to call it hate. Am holding myself from getting annoyed by this your comment. As long as Nigeria remain in its current structure every geopolitical zone that feel shortchanged has every right to complain, Kachikwu is Igbo but not from South East same way Somebody from Kwara maybe Yoruba but not from South West.

Lol, @ OP don't you know that abroad is closer to Abuja than Akwa Ibom . He built a " world class" hospital that's not fit to treat him, Politicians deceiving Nigerians since 1914.

Like I once said, except by divine intervention, Osinbajo will enter Aso Rock a pastor but exit as a common Politician. You don't dine with pigs and expect to be clean, am sure he can't challenge Liar Mohammed on this.

If I remember correctly, I watched Wike on Channels tv promise to complete this abandoned project of over 10yrs a day after being sworn in.

Talk of taking people by their words not waiting for body language as if we are a country of deaf people.

They shouted us down when we raised objection to their change mantra during election. They said we were tribalists and hated Nigeria. They said all we needed was a change regardless of the direction, they cared not whether it's positive or negative.

When Buhari was called for media debate to tell us his plans he avoided it and his supporters hailed him today we are told he promised nothing so we should expect nothing other than his body language.

Where is king Buhari's asset declaration and that of his Pastor VP? What has become of the "man of integrity" APC sold to us? Can somebody tell me exactly what the difference is between Buhari and every other politician?

Am proudly 5%, I have no expectations from our Daura king thus I can never be disappointed.

I don't know how to qualify Amechi. His first attempt at VP slop ended in a disgrace. The only consolation left being SGF has gone up north. What shall it profit a selfish ex governor to fight his brother over an oil well and lose the entire oil river to a stranger?

GudluckIBB:
Fashola is gradually Overtaking GEJ when it comes to looting.

139M for Bolehole?? Na champagne wan dey come out as warer from the borehole?

No wonder her was pushing for his Man Shasore to replace him so that his tracs will be covered.

It offers water of life, you drink and shall never thirst again.

I give Buhari a plus on this, someone must account for lapses in that govt institution.

Dear Lord, may I not work and another man takes glory...Amen.

God bless Nigeria

Federal Republic of Northern Nigeria. National institutions are now made to look like Northern institution. Sai Buhari!!

Even though I know this is a personal vendetta, the absence of freedom of Information in Lagos makes us unable to know the level of fraud in the state.

I hate the sound of war, I've seen what two warring communities did to themselves. I love Nigeria and like many of my fellow Igbos, I have invest!ments outside Igboland. But if push comes to shove, I dare not stand on the way of Biafra freedom, I'd rather lose my investment than lose my freedom. These northern supremacists should be warned that Igbos lost all their investments 40yrs ago and still survives today thus losing all now to gain permanent freedom is an enticing option.
