You will still bark at them again at 5 am as you did this morning?

FSU:
Abati is not only ill-educated, but he is also a bigot, because only a bigot can take an incidence by one person and extrapolate it to all persons related to that offender.

helinues:
That was an advise but as usual, it no dey make sense to una until things scattered apart

We go dey watch and learn

Btw, don't repeat that nonsense of barking again. Respect yourself

yarimo:
IPOB are the most foolish human beings in the world, today abati PhD is wasted because he spoke what someone said about them.

SmartPolician:
Isn't it rather because of your joblessness that you are able to keep close tabs on everything being responded to?

NSNO:
So Reuben is now the enemy?
I don't usually agree with helinues but seriously, you people should stop responding to every dog that barks at you people. And if you must respond, address the issue raised and don't insult the person.

Copied

Reuben Abati's PhD is wasted education.

Why?
The current senate president had praised the Igbo during the events related to the burial of an Igbo senator who died recently. He said among other things, that Igbos go out to develop other parts of Nigeria and that other Nigerians do not do quite the same. That the said late senator was a true representation of the Igbo spirit.

Then, Abati was asked to respond to the senate president's comments on his TV program. Abati, after other kinder words about the Igbo, retorted that, according to TOS Bension (A Yoruba political leader who was born in 1917 and died in 2008) that Igbos don't sell land to strangers. That TOS had wanted to buy land and build a house in his Igbo wife's village and that the villagers had told him (TOS) they don't sell land to strangers. Abati went on to affirm his own opinion along the lines that Igbos go out and buy properties and build elsewhere, but do not sell land to others.

Now, Abati claims to hold a PhD. To obtain a PhD anywhere in the world, including in the local university from where Abati obtained his, requires conducting research for at least 3 years. In Nigeria, it takes longer. In most cases, such research involves conducting statistical analysis using sample populations and establishing margins of errors based on the sampling population size. Abati regurgitated the unproven claim made by TOS about his wife's village (one village) and extrapolated that to cover more than 30 million Igbos living in thousands of villages and towns and cities. The inability of Abati to conduct his own research and to gather data from a representative sampling of Igbos on the matter makes his PhD null and void. That he even believed what TOS Benson said in the 1960s or 70s or 80s, or 90s (whenever he had said it), and repeated it in 2024 makes his case even worse and deserved that his alma mater asks for their certificate back.

Assuming one Igbo village does not sell their land to strangers, how is that an Igbo-wide culture that should be linked to other Igbos?

Pray tell, the Redeemed Church, Deeper Life church, Living Faith church, and numerous other churches own properties across nearly all Igbo villages, towns and cities in Nigeria. These churches are private churches owned by Yoruba individuals. The church lands were sold to the Yoruba owners by Igbos.

GTB, Wema Bank, FCMB and a few other banks in Nigeria are 100% owned and managed by Yorubas. These banks have branches in Igbo towns and cities. The lands were sold to them by Igbos.

Polo Mall Enugu and the Onitsha Business School are owned by Yorubas

GLO Mobile is owned by a Yoruba. GLO has offices in Igbo cities. The lands where these offices are located were sold to GLO by Igbos.

There are 1000s of Yoruba who own private properties in Igboland. I personally know one in Umuahia.

I can go on and on. How come Abati does not know this? How come Abati cannot conduct simple research before bleating out on National TV in 2024 that Igbos don't sell land to strangers?

Abati is not only ill-educated, but he is also a bigot, because only a bigot can take an incidence by one person and extrapolate it to all persons related to that offender. Worse still an uncorroborated incidence that was said to have happened decades ago.

Someone who doesn't respect a colleague who has nothing but admiration for him and regularly throws this same person under the bus at the slightest chance will most likely not have any regard for any person, group or organization. An idiot that an Igbo man employs and pays salary. I blame the people that call the clown doctor at regular intervals to massage his hopeless ego. The ugly bald-headed monkey should always be addressed as a baboon on live TV to get the bigot off his high horse.

kedeojo:
If Abati leaves channels, the situation will reduced in his journalism. Do you think it the salary he get that make him to work for Arise tv, a former presidential aide. Some people love their work. Let the owner sack him and watch how the station reduces. Abati contact in the media house over the years even before appointed as a presidential aide is huge.

trium:
Abati was specific when he cited TOS Benson in that story. It is really apparent we have an education crisis because people find it difficult to listen and analyse, they just want drama all the time. I think Abati also sees that it's a waste of his time trying to explain a story that was already explained by the person he cited.

olisaEze:
Did you just call Reuben Abati a dog?? Pls goan edit immediately! Shuo!!

LastGiantAlive:
He should have rejected working as a presidential aide and simply continued working in a TV station due to his love for TV station journalism. Give him 30 million dollars cash and watch whether you'll see him tomorrow morning on Arise. How much do you think the clown even earned working as an aide? The biggest delusion in the world is someone thinking he's indispensable. Rufai and co have brilliantly hosted that show severally and I didn't even notice the proud old fool was ever absent. Hazard left Chelsea and they went on to win the champions league. As a bread winner if you die today, your family will keep eating bread.
