tpia@:Tpia, your assumption is not entirely correct. Any and everyone can post any sort of comment in this 'Office' and such opinion will be taken for its face value at the very least. This 'Office' though supposedly Igbotic is not different from every other thread. As you can see, everyone is here, including those who see 'hatred', 'supremacist', and other malaise. We are not stopping anyone. But frankly, I like the maturity of your post, as oppose (if I could say it again) the confrontational approach of Ogugua. And I agree that Ogugua has a point, and would indeed be invaluable if she understand and agrees that 'Igbo cause' is not different from Nigeria's cause. Igboland is part and parcel of greater Nigeria. If I choose to dissipate my energy helping develop Igboland, does it not translate to developing Nigeria? The fact that a lot of people feel threatened or insecure when they hear 'Igbo' does not suggest that we should never breath or mute Igbo. We are not beholden unto anyone, and not oblige to do as they wish. There are millions of Igbos like Ogugua, you, and many others out there who are 'balanced Igbos', is that not fair enough? Must we all follow the herd? Be like our neighbours? For what purpose? At what cost and price? Tpia, if you want to know more about what we do in the background, or hope to do, send a mail to the eze. Perhaps he might consider your unique perspective in the cabinet. I don't decide for him though. Ogugua, can also do same. The impression I got from the Eze, is that more opinions are welcome in the cabinet. Let's not stand aloof and point fingers, when we can make a difference. Peace! |
BlackPikiN: Are you freaking outta your mind.Ogugua made her point clearly and passionately which I respect. I also made my point. I explained to her that we are doing exactly same thing she is doing in her Anambra Association in California. Only that she refused to understand. She was not happy the SE did not participate in the fuel subsidy removal protest; but if only she had counted the number of states that did not participate, I am sure she would have realised that several states (if you like ethnic) group did not participate in it. Ogugua does not like herd mentality, but he would rather Igbo follow others in a herd mentality way. Blackpin, I realise she was contradicting herself a lot, and I couldn't continue with the conversation. So I quit. I see nothing wrong is my exchanges with her. If she thinks otherwise let her state it. Frankly, I think she got it all wrong. She could have simply email the Eze, and some of her concerns will be privately addressed. But the way and manner of her approach if you ask leaves much to be desired. By the way don't let Ndu_chucks, and Gbawe confuse you. They are here to incite passion and score cheap points off Igbos as usual. Ogugua is one of us, passionate, and articulate. Whether we agree with all she said or not is a different ball game altogether. Dalu Nwanne m |

Gbawe: Guilty conscience displayed for the entire forum to behold. I did not mention any ethnic group and could in fact be talking about Pakistanis sounding off in the UK but those who follow others around , with a huge chip on their shoulder, have to respond to display their paranoia and the usual "they hate and want to wipe us out" i.di.ocy. It is like shouting "thief" at a crowd of over a thousand yet it is one person who comes out to be bellicosely arguing that he is no thief. As usual, another paranoid clown , with a deep persecution complex, now shouts "Gbawe hates Igbos".Look at what you have reduced yourself to - shameless liar! Indeed you did not mention any group, but you 'could in fact be talking about Pakistanis sounding off in the UK.' Can you imagine how you sound? I'll tell you - effing coward! That's exactly how you sound. Is there anyone here who does not know you were referring to Igbos in your 'chip on shoulder, inferior' rambling? But when called out on your usual Igbos bashing, you cowardly deflect it to pakistanis, feigned ignorance and then play the victim card. Well dude, the earlier you start realising that folks know what you stand for, the better for. For the avoidance of doubt, you are a snake! A green snake in green grass. Your attempt to mask your undiluted hatred for Igbos, by pretending to be objective is already in the open. Only those gullibles folks who like you who have their tongues stuck in Tinubu arse, still pretend they give a hoot about you. You are also a shameless coward, who does not even have the gut insult Igbo directly. You rather drop hints, and labels for your many munions to follow, and when you think, no one will notice, lunch an unprovoked attacks at Igbos because of the 'sins' of PointB, and OnlyTruth. In any case, everyone know the kind of ill wind you breed. Your attempt to deflect your hatred for Igbos at me, is lame and does not deserve my comment. You are as evil and Ahj-Harem if not worse! Wear that cap! |
Analysing any State and passing judgement based on a budget is, IMHO, simplistic. It is important for one to actually visit the state and access the situation on the ground. For instance how does Sanusi know the extent of erosion problem in Anambra? Has he visited some of the sites? How does he know that the budgeting allocation for it's control is inadequate? Or is it simply a case of the more money allocated to a problem the better? The same applies to his critique of allocation for health and agriculture. Health is quite important as he rightly noted, but beyond that, how could he critique allocation to this sector without stating what has been in the past, and what needs to be done now? What are the primary health challenge of Anambra citizens? What is the best way to address them? Or should the governor simply keep allocating huge figures to a sector because it is an important sector or should he build upon what he has done over the years? These are the basic questions Sanusi should seek answers to! On agricultural sector. What does Sanusi think that Anambra agricultural sector requires? What are the previous practice; what has been spent on this sector in the past? Is Anambra state indeed rural state in every sense of the word? Considering the fact that Anambra state boast of a commercial city - Onitsha, an industrial city - Nnewi, and an administrative capital - Awka. What basis did Sanusi classify Anambra as rural? Does it somehow imply that apart from Lagos, PH, and Abuja every other Nigeria state is rural? I strongly believe that Sanusi's exercise of criticising states budgets based merely on paper is a deeply flawed exercise, and a waste of his time. Unless of course, he is seeking personal and political relevance among millions of gullible Nigerians who will ascribe this lazy exercise to some form of intellectual ability. |
@Ogugua, The issue of fuel subsidy removal has been debated severally, and the conclusion was that the policy in itself is not bad, but the problem was the timing. Personally, I travelled home for xmas and was affected alongside several of my kiths and kin. But why do people want change when they are unable to make sacrifice? I still want the whole subsidy removed, subsidizing consumption has never been a good policy anywhere in the world. Those who understood this concept did not protest, those who did were motivated by ignorance and to some extent politicians and oil cabals. Regionalisation that you consider silly is the vogue now. Maybe one day, you will wake up to reality! I am done with you. |
ogugua88: I'm in all three. Anambra Association, Neni Develoment Union, and Sacramento Association of Nigerians.I am acting it starting in a bottom-up approach. How best can you build a nation if not by building a family, a clan, a community, an ethnic group, a society, a country, a nation! Gathering Igbos under the same umbrella, in unity, and harmony just like you are doing in the Anambra Association in California is part of the effort. Or perhaps you fail to see the connection, the correlation? Again- 'charity begins at home.' Break-up? If everyone want the nation to break-up, it does not mean that breaking up is an easy option, it simply means it's an option. In fact, and on the contrary it is the hardest of all the option by every sense of the word. And perhaps pursuit of that option my help realise the need for justice and fairness. It might even help lay foundation for a better nation. The search for solution should not rule out any option! |
Beaf: Kai! Laf don make my cassava fall!Abeg grab your cassava, before Farouk, Mr. Inthiefgrity tags it as proceed of subsidy and toss it to the bloody baboons. Lol |
ogugua88: I'm not throwing my clans, family, or anyone under the bus. I am Igbo, but I am Nigerian as well. It's not only Igbos that died in last week's plane crash or Boko Haram's strikes. All Nigerians are at danger, and I choose to use my efforts to strengthen my nation, including Igbos. What good does it do us if Igbos are successful and united but the rest of the nation is lagging? I am not trying to appear fair-minded. That's how I was born and raised by my 100% Igbo parents.Let me pick the fuel subsidy strike and a few other comments of yours. If we (Igbos) did not join in that strike, does that not mean anything to you? Have you forgotten that prior to that strike, for all intent and purpose, it appears like Igbos were being targeted and hacked down in their numbers by Boko Haram in the North? Besides, was fuel subsidy the biggest headache of Igbo, and indeed Nigeria? When the issue of second niger bridge, and international airport, and indeed federal presence in Igboland is what we should be protesting for? Look around you. Is Igboland not part of Nigeria? To what extent has successive central government demonstrated this? Beside, are there no bigger issues in Nigeria than the fuel subsidy removal that warrants such vigorous politically motivated protest?. I thought you will be pleased that Igbos did not go the way of herd mentality! As per showing our full potential on matter concerning Ndi Igbo, I don't know where that come from, and I haven't really observed it. And I think if Igbo were to really act selfishly, the bulk of our investments will find the way back home. In any case, Nigeria is tending towards regionalism, if we can get as many Igbo man and woman to think 'Igboland' that's a fine start. By the way to avoid contradicting yourself, you should consider quitting the Anambra association in California, and join the Nigeria Association, as it make more sense since you are more 'Nigerian' than other (Igbos). But I bet you won't, as you will realise like some of us that you disdain here that indeed 'Charity begins at home.' and that a prosperous, developed and thriving Igboland is good for Nigeria. And like OnlyTruth said, who want Biafra if we can have a just and fair Nigeria? Peace be unto you my sister! |
Gbawe: My brother, being the loudest, most foul-mouthed, most insecure, most bellicose, most angry, most confrontational and most paranoid in the land , plus having a huge chip on your shoulder, does not necessarily make you the most populous anywhere in the world.The average Igbo man is a hard-working Nigerian, who believes in utilising his environment for maximum benefit. He cares about his family (nuclear and extended); he worries about tomorrow more than he does about today. An average Igboman is very secure, very confident, and very daring! A reason he is very ubiquitous. He is peace loving, and does not quarrel with his neighbours or host. But Gbawe either doesn't know this because he lives in Ghana, or maybe what he wrote here is what his parents fed him from childhood - lies, junks, and hatred! Gbawe will never critique without accusing other of being insecure, or inferior. He is always the first to accuse other poster of ethnic motivation if they do support his own bigot line of argument. If this spiteful and hateful approach does not give an inkling into Gbawe dysfunctional childhood, I wonder what else does. The good thing is that an average yoruba man is not like Gbawe, otherwise the xenophobic outburst in South Africa will be childplay compare to what the ilk of hateful people like Gbawe will wrought. The likes of Gbawe are more dangerous than Alj_Harems of this world when it comes to stoking myopic ethnic flames. His hatred for Igbos is legendary. I have said earlier that people like him should be monitored. I need to restate, that this hateful mongrel should be place under watch by vigilant Nairalanders. |
Will be keeping an eye on the one. Farouk Lawan, Integrity Group indeed. In the land of dogs and baboons, integrity has gone to the dogs! The baboons are confused! |
kaeto: please stop embarking on this mary-go-round of ZOMBIE parade, Amaechi is a big fraud like many of my eastern governors, he is no good,no experience for our dear country,maybe you don't reside down south,just watch your mouth bro!Stop pulling Ameachi down my brother. Is Fashola/Tinube combo not founded on fraud and patronage? Didn't Rufia allocate land to his friends when FCT minister? Why do you have to pull Ameachi down, when others who have done worse are been hyped to high heavens by their own myopic and bigoted tribesmen. Just think about it! |

If El Rufia or Buhari pops up for presidency in 2015 they will be soundly defeated. Fashola dare not waste his time contesting for Presidency, SW just had their turn in the not too distant past, other zones like SE certainly deserves a shot at the Presidency. Anyway, Nigerians will never vote Muslim/Muslim ticket with the level of religious awareness going on nowadays. Who wants empowerment of boko haram like Obj did when he allowed sharia to go on unchecked, or the way Aregbesola is enthroning another radical group called Tawun in the SW. These bunch of religious bigots will never again rule this country without serious restructuring. As for that clown shouting that majority of fashola's commissioners are none yorubas (Igbo as he keeps claiming), can he provide proof or stop spilling bigoted fallacy. SE/SS will never vote ACN in 2015, and certainly not an AC.N lead by Tinubu and flanked by Buhari. In which world is that going to happen? An alliance that will terrorize and continue to steal Niger Delta oil? Tufiakwa! Anyway, thank goodness that GEJ still have three years to throw spanners in their wheels. The real contenders will rear up by 2014. Let's allow Gbawe and his goons to froth in the mouth like bunch of over pampered kids who think they know jack about what will happen 3 years from now. |
O Musiwa,,,, teach me satellite pictures ![]() |
A news article from Premium Times posted by a user named Ptimes I see conflict of interest here; with the main objective of driving traffic to Premium Times. Which news organisation is that by the way? |
Chyz*:I agree with you. If MASSOB has been deemed useless, and ineffective in advancing our cause, it should be jettison and disbanded. I don't like the idea of MASSOB members going about like OPC, and Agberos, extorting money from people here and there. That is not the objective; that is not what they are there for! Certainly leading our people to be massacred like sheep is also not acceptable. MASSOB should shape up, or ship out! They have become a liability! |
Onlytruth: Nigeria as a country is obtuse and cowardly. I have NEVER seen Nigeria act tough against REAL enemies; you can't check history. When Cameroun kept killing Nigerians and Nigerian solsdiers in Bakassi, guess what Nigeria did? Tuck tails between legs because they couldn't face them. And when the idea of letting the world court rule on it came along, Nigeria jumped at the idea! Today Boko Haram is killing hundreds and thousands of Nigerians, and the Nigerian government is killing UNARMED and NON-VIOLENT MASSOB.Succinctly put. On the other hand, I hope this is not some grand design by some Boko Haram element in GEJ government to draw us into another needless blood letting. Quite frankly, it is very callous and cowardly to gun down unarmed men for whatever reasons. If this should continue, I would like for MASSOB to discard the non-violence garb, arm themselves to the teeth, and open another front against the Nigeria security apparatus. They can start by burning police stations, and attacking military check points and formation. I strongly think, someone wants to help the boko bastard in the grand scheme of making Nigeria ungovernable. If GEJ, the C-in-C, cannot put a leash on his boys, and understand where he derives power from, why should we care if Nigeria explodes in his watch? |
It's sad that the over-zealous, and poorly trained Nigerian soldiers have once again inflicted sorrows, tears, and blood on unarmed civilian, ostensibly for gathering illegally. Let's us not forget in a hurry that one of the often touted excuses for the boko haram menace was that their leader was killed in cold blood by element of the Nigeria security personnel. The continual murdering of non-violent MASSOB members, may lead to another 'boko haram' incident. Or does Nigeria military, which is currently stretched thin, intend to open another front in the crisis they barely have a grasp of. One who have expected a professional minded body like the military to avoid provoking another front. The military should make no mistake, Igbo have fought a war in the past to defend the live of it's people who were being cut down in similar by soldiers and civilians from other ethnic groups. If need be, Igbo shall not hesitate to defend our people from those who will rather see them bleed! Nigeria will not survive another frontier of the on going crisis. Incident like this, is all it takes to spark one! At this rate, an armed and militant MASSOB will be assured of my spiritual, material, and physical support! |
This buffoon who is well know for reneging on agreements should stfu, who does he think he is! GEJ is the GCFR, no gowon! |
KINGwax: you're the cursed one! Stop talkin trash! Nigeria is jes a name not an moving entity! We all make nigeria exist, u are the cursed...idiotDidn't know I hit a raw nerve there. Anyone, a country that killed in citizens in cold blood; and have such butchers like Murtala Mohammend elevated to national hero is indeed a cursed country! Nigeria is a blood soaked nation; and the blood of 2 million Nigerians massacred so that the Niger Delta can be looted will keep crying for justice! Nigeria is cursed, and if your Kingwax, feels the crown fits you the most, please gracefully wear it, like and accursed! ![]() |
Na wa ooo! People are dying left and right! Cursed country! ![]() |
A son never forgets! They gave their lives so that I may live in freedom and dignity! Nigeria murdered sleep! Their blood is upon Nigeria's head forever, and will continue to haunt the country until necessary reparation is done. |
Yoruba leaders have spoken; OPC over to you! ![]() |
O-gbawe, osun state indigenes are disillusioned over the snail paced state of affairs in their state, while the ex-cultist, amosun is planning on constructing air-conditioned foot bridge in Ogun state as agberos and area boys meeting venue. At this rate AC.N will certainly lose those states in the next election. Rather than focus on that, you are frothing in the mouth like stale beans and screaming sai tambuwal all over the places over an offer of VP positiuon for SW by an imaginary party! O-gbawe, who did this to you? |
Very sad! May their souls rest in peace! |
That's a great development happening in APGA at this time. It is darkest before the dawn. APGA has to evolve or die! |
^^^ Same old stories. Nothing new here. When 2015 comes we will see how it goes! |
dayokanu: And if we continue voting PDP, I guess that favours the SE?What has anyone (party or military) given to SE since independence? Why must we trust CAN led by thief Tinubu and his horde of backstabbers, or CPC led by bigot Buhari and his horde of murdering amajiri? As for the political clout, no zone has shown any political clout or dexterity especially since the dawn of the fourth republic. And since the PDP has always produced president, so I can confidently say, that the AC.N and CPC are just regional party like APGA, who have no experience in governing from the centre. I should equally not put my trust in them. SE will vote APGA or PDP that is a fact. We don't care what other parties think unless they present us an irresistible offer - a popular Igbo man! As for the numbers, let me ask you? Does yoruba or hausa have enough population in SE/SS to influence or win 25% of the total vote cast? Do Igbo have enough population in SW/North to influence or win at least 25% of the total vote cast? The answers to these questions will give you and inkling of the numbers needed to win free and fair election in Nigeria. And if your path is through rigging, well 'the dogs and baboon' story is still making the headlines. Igbo will approach 2015 with a very different mind-set - presidency or status quo! |
jason123: Another view might be that they (ACN and CPC) will become desperate and might pick an APGA candidate to appeal to the SE voters. . . .It is not desperation but the logical thing to do. You want PDP dead, that is how to do it. The alternative is to continue to grope in the dark and brandish numbers forgetting that Igbo populations in many states in Nigeria nullify most of those numbers when the real voting starts. Anyway, the motivation to kick out PDP is higher in the SW than any other region. SE can afford to play the waiting game. |
jason123: My point is, it will be harder for a coalition to support an APGA candidate than an ACN or CPC candidate. The reason is because APGA, I'm sorry, is just not seen as a force to be reckon with nationally, FOR NOW (that might change later). Moreover, there is a chance that Ngige will win Anambra if he should contest, meaning ACN has something on APGA but APGA has NOTHING on ACN.Lol. We have seen what the AC.N and CPC coalition has won these parties and we are not impressed. Anyone who writes off APGA even in the name of 'for now' frankly does not understand Nigeria politics. And any coalition that believe it can win SE vote by dangling Senate presidency must have fart-fill brains as their strategists. In 2015, the chances of toppling PDP lies in APGA producing the presidential candidate, while CPC produce the Vice. AC.N can have the Senate president. Anything short of Igbo presidency, PDP can continue to rule until thy kingdom come. And to think APGA has nothing on AC.N is to assume that a non-Igbo AC.N/CPC presidential candidate can win 25% votes in any SE state if APGA fields Rochas. A feat APGA can easily achieve in the SS,SW, and many Northern states! |
