Ngene-Ukwenu:
See retraction This PointB is a pure sycophant!

If you are at permanent war with Soyinka, that's your lot. As far as most Igbos are concerned, Wole Soyinka is a man not a god. If he makes mistakes or go contrary to our interest we reserve the right call him out. If you want to worship him or hate him in perpetuity, by all means go ahead. It has nothing to do with Igbo or PointB.

Ozin: The battle at hand is between a corrupt and selfish old baboon(OBJ) versus a matured tactician (GEJ)...@Team GEJ..let us not dignify the drug ravaged FFK with responses because he is a nairander like us and stays 16 hours on nairaland excitedly waiting to see people insult each other because of his careless writings/articles

seconded.
We should stop paying that fool attention.

The point is that Soyinka is not infallible. If he on on the right path, he'll get kudos, if he drifts to wrong path he should expect knocks. He is a man, not a god.

Insulting and fighting a woman publicly was one of his lows. Igbos are not at war with Soyinka, he was NEVER our enemy. We even criticize Ojukwu and Zik, let alone Soyinka.

Op,

On point!

7/10. With an option to increase it to 9/10 if the Security Agency could as much as invite Obj for a 'chat' on the account of National Security, Siemens, Haliburton, or Odi. GEJ is the President, we expect him to bite when he barks!

From 48 laws of power:
'Do not use words to explain, use action'
'Enter action with boldness'

GEJ should get a copy of that book.

A detailed response to the narccisst and megalomaniac Obj. That should keep the old fool busy for a while.

Nice one GEJ!

At topic, we know that Sanusi is a mole in the GEJ cabinet, but I say lets keep him for the remainder of his tenure as their is little to nothing to hide.

GEJ should just be magnanimous and endure him.

Gabbysky: Bro I love this ur Signature oooo.
Abeg peprmit me to tif it plz, lolzzz

lol,
My guy na my Christmas and new year signature be that oo. Anyway, in the spirit of the season, you are free to tif am. But no use APC style o.

Obiagu1: So you mean he will remain gutless even when he was about to go down?

Nope. All am saying is this. A corrupt Obj will rather encourage the coup or pretend he doesn't know about it rather than be the face of it. [s]Same way Awo encouraged Ojukwu to go to war.[/s] Treacherous people thrive by covering their tracks.

Do we need Soyinka to tell us what we already know?

PDP is striving hard to discard their corrupt politicians as much and as fast as they could, APC is picking up and absorbing the trash faster than water leaves the basket.

'Can a man heap hot coal on his thigh and not get burnt?'



Interesting...

Obiagu1: Reread the paragraph and the emphases.

There were plans to purge and charge top officials in Murtala's government for corruption and suddenly there was a coup.
Isn't it funny? In how many months of his governance?
And mysteriously, OBJ was missing on the day of the coup.

He probably knew about the coup, and like the treacherous coward he is, stayed out of sight and manipulated things indirectly. Obj has no guts to pull any trigger, he is just a bloody 'letter writer' a manipulator.

@Op,
The Preside didn't imply in his response that Obj assassinated Murtala. I think he was saying that Obj was 'fortunate' that Murtala was murdered as he would have been out of the army for good had Murtala carried out the purging exercise.

However, I wouldnt put it past a vindictive Obj to have a hand, a leg, or perhaps an eye in Murtala's assassination. Obj's treachery is legendary, it must be genetic!

jmaine: As I always say, Nigerians are not foolish. . . . .

True bruv,

But you may have to make room for a few exception. Lol

c0llynz02: Most useless comment of the year!

lol
you can say that again.

@op,
Bros, abeg free bros Harmattan biko. Without him some fruits no go dey next year be dat o. That fit be another wahala. Make we leave things as God plan it. Bath hot water and cover body sleep.

Since he started working with Buhari, Obasanjo is no longer corrup, just as Abacha never stole. As a matter of fact, he is the only Saint from the PDP.

'If any thief be in APC, he is a new creature! Behold all things become new!'

Sanusi accused the NNPC of mismanagement, what could be more evidence of mismanagement than Sanusi $49.8B allegations. Clearly, we have an incompetent CBN Governor.

The way she writes. Is she related to our very own Musiwa?

So after riding themselves of PDP politicians in their region, these SW politicians are falling heels over head to hand over their freedom to the very worst of PDP politicians - Obj. A man so bad that he was considered unfit even by the PDP. Perhaps we should ask Tinibu and Buhari to tell us whose interest they serve.

By the way Buhari frustrated Lagos Metroline, Tinubu is Lagos State treasurer and financial secretary. As for Obj, you can always buy a 'dossier' on him by very close source (daughter) on the street (if you don't like the online version). These are the 'progressives' some of you prefer over the one who against all the odds is bringing road, light, rail, and food to the people.

Let me wish you good luck once again. 'Progressive' indeed!

Having worked hard to rescue their region from the very worst of PDP politicians represented by Obasanjo. They are now going to lie prostrated to beg same Obj (who incidentally is found unfit for PDP) to come and take over their affairs. Is it not ironic? Anyway Good luck to you folks and your PDP rejects.

"Abacha was never corrupt"- Buhari

That pretty much sums it up.

It all depends on who apc present as presidential candidate. A big dilemma for them. Whatever they do, disappointed members will have their or way.

Grab your copy NOW!

lol

Nigeria is a funny country, we see humour and livelihood is almost every saga!

**yawns**

President John Mahama Thursday has commissioned Ghana’s second largest hydroelectric generating plant at Bui in the Brong Ahafo Region, and declared that the country is on its way to become a major producer of power in West Africa.

The $622 million Bui Hydroelectric Dam project will provide the country with an additional 400 megawatts of electricity. The Dam is built on the Black Volta River at the Bui Gorge located at the southern end of Bui National Park.

President Mahama said two private sector power generators have signed a power purchasing agreement with the Electricity Company of Ghana to supply about 100 megawatts solar power to the national grid.

He said the Volta River Authority has started feeding in solar power into the country’s transmission grid from its Navraongo solar power plant.

He announced that 15,000 stand-alone solar systems have been distributed to public institutions to reduce their reliance on national transmission grid.

In addition, the President said, the Energy Ministry has also distributed solar lanterns to off-grid communities that are yet to be connected to the national grid, promising that more would be given out to other remote communities.

President Mahama indicated that the government has invested a lot of resources to strengthen the national transmission grid, citing the inauguration of the new Kintampo power sub-station in May, which he said has improved power supply to the northern sector of the country.

“All these developments make our vision of becoming a major power producer in West Africa clearly possible.”

400 Megawatts Op,

Not 4000!

Op, thanks for the article.

But nothing is secret any more in this age. We are very much aware of these lies, and games.

Is that episode three of the 'Letters' ?

eGuerrilla: If the original title is misleading, it is probably best to look for a different source altogether. No?

What if there is no other source (as at time of posting)?

eGuerrilla: I am glad to see that others have also drawn your attention to the same point.
Frankly, I think that by abusing posting privileges, you are leaving the forum owner liable to charges of plagiarism elsewhere. Whereas to you exercising poetic license, as you deem fit, might seem inconsequential, I have cases like this which end up in the law courts.

@PointB,
The example you provided does not lend support to @Sincere 9gerian's case, as the @OP of that thread maintained its original title.
I would have thought that it is up to folks like us (commentators), to counter factual inaccuracies within the body of an article in cases where such applies.

Notice how the Independent newspaper conveys same point but with a less incendiary title...

Depends on how you look at it. My point of view is that the original heading might also be misleading. In that case, is correcting such misleading heading title wrong? Must we necessary use the original title, even when it does not convey the message body and when there is no forum rule against such?
