My brother God bless u a million times for this honest and provoking post, we forget too easily, who put us where we are today.............

My

Patriotic leaders...Sir, how did you raise money as an Army General to create Otta Farms? You forgot Atiku was tapped about SPVs that you also participated in. We also remember how under your regime as Military Head of State, you killed Fela's Mother - a champion of rights of all people, the mother of Nigeria like Fela said. Obj thinks we have short term memories.

May God help this country. We are loosing patriots and the hawks and vultures are gathering.



Most of our patriots are now Old men and in the last stages of life. There are no new patriots. Those are his Lamentations

The youth cannot organise themselves without chaos. They lack good leaders in the political circle and those youths with leadership skills are ignored in the hype of unserious behaviour called cruise and overshadowed by dumb influencers.

Which youths? The ones that tribalism have eaten deep into their brains. They know nothing than to follow politicians up and down singing their praises. It's a pity.

Thank God it's not Tinubu and Shetima in the same week

OBJ still thinks he's relevant and his opinions matter (scoffs) nairaland sha..

The truth is, none of these old monkeys deserve respect from the youths because they're the sole cause of the serious mess/predicaments the common man is facing in this country ! But something is fundamentally wrong with the typical Blackman and so called respect for elders. While typical Nigerians see elders through age, I for one see elders through impacts,/examples/foot steps..

If you are not insane, how do you expect me to respect so called elders who intentionally stole and drew the country back to stone age!? So you really expect me to respect/regard/honour the likes of Atiku, OBJ, BAT, Buhari, GEJ, all the 36 states governors (immediate past and present), all the senators/HOR members (past and present), now deceased Edwin Clark, Ogbonna Onu, Peter Obi (remove emotions/sentiments, Obi didn't perform above par as governor. I wanted him as President simply because he was the beat choice in the presidential race) and their likes, just because they're so called elders !?

One impressive thing about the Whites, you will never see an old white man misbehaving with the young just because he's older, he tries it, they (government) put him where he belongs..

I am not (never been) a Muslim, but my respect/regard and honour goes to former President sir Umaru Musa Yar'Adua of blessed memories. While others are busy playing the game of politics along tribal and religious lines, he demonstrated it in a positive light! Rest well sir, I miss you sir🙌..


My brother, it is so annoying ! I believe they're happy with the way the country is going right now with the common man thinking of what to eat each day. We can't even banter our fellow Africans anymore because of see finish. You argue with a Ghanaian and he quickly reminds you of how you don't have stable light in your country. You have it with a south African and he tells you about the japa syndrome and sorry state of the country. The Nigerian citizens are not helping matters as well, country is on fire yet you see them arguing over insignificant issues, tribal slurs; "Yorubas are better than the Igbos, Igbos are better than the Yorubas" coming from shameless adults. Whereas, ask them how old was Yakubu Gowon, Ojukwu, Buhari, IBB,etc when they took control. Now, I might not be in lack but seriously, shame dey catch me as our country be with the so called leaders/elders alongside majority of the citizens are f00ling themselves locally and internationally ...

You made a good point. But are the youths any better?

God bless you anywhere you are.....this is exactly me .. exactly the way I say it .. patriot my foot ..if those men irrespective of tribes Govern Nigeria well from 1960 and not try to live like the white men that left ,with the likes of Okute Eboh,etc ..we will be in a better position.

Although I won't want to put late Clark I Obj categories wheb it comes to looters ...Clark atleast contribute to education..I think I studied with one of his books ..I can't remember for now tho ..but atleast he was way better.

What exactly was patriotic about Clark?

Obasanjo and others like him have thoroughly bastardised the meaning of patriotism.

Imagine Obasanjo talking about patriotism after his destroying our country repeatedly

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

Clark is one of the arrow head that contributed to the under development of Niger Delta. He should go to h€||

It seems you and your mods have gone to sleep again..

Account created today for the sole purpose of spreading hate has made over 100 posts already and he’s still having a field day unrestricted.

I just said it on another Thread that many accounts are being created massively between yesterday and today and most of them are designated for 8 speeches and propaganda. Election is also here and politicians and strategizing to tackle their perceived oppositions through online warriors.

Last two weeks alone, over 300 IDs were created on NL within a space of 2 days. The creation wasn’t organic at all.

This past Friday, only 1 ID was created till Sunday afternoon. After this, they have created over 100 IDs.

See this attachment and watch out how the number grows steadily.

Just 3 days ago, I was talking with my Dad while browsing Nairaland and I saw the Pa Adebanjo transition thread; I told my Dad that Papa Adebanjo has died? He said yes, that the man died that morning in his home in Lekki.

We then spoke briefly about him and my dad said Pa Adebanjo’s age mates like Pa Edwin Clark the federal commissioner is still alive and has been quite for a while; we just said age is not on Pa Clark’s side.

That was all ooo; only for today I learnt Pa Edwin Clark has left too. I’m not surprised; a man is here today and tomorrow he is gone.

May we all live fruitful and purposeful lives and impact our neighbors positively, feed the hungry and deal your bread to the less privileged. May God help us all.

Nobody lives forever, a man's life expectancy is 75years, in Nigeria it is around 60. So they have lived a well spent life.

Too much respect for elders or even worship of elders may the the single biggest reason for our underdevelopment. No innovation comes from old people.As far as I know There is no civilization with a reverence for elders that is part of the 1st world currently

it's is always easier to destroy than to build. So patriots have more work doing the right thing against the majority who want to do the wrong things or just anything especially in a country where the masses are stupid and tribalistic.

One of the best comments I have read on nairaland in a while.

It is shocking how most people on this forum leave the real issues and chase shadows.

Generally speaking, the so called elders are the generation that should be cursed because a lot of them benefited from the system established by colonial powers and then proceeded through their greed and incompetence to reduce this country to its current state. It will take a miracle at this point for the generation that never saw a working Nigeria to engineer a turn around.

Most on this forum are experts in mocking other tribes /ethnic nations and will never think beyond that, no matter the circumstances.

There is no hope unless this tribal / ethnic impasse is broken.

That said - I think Obasanjo performed reasonably better than most presidents since the current civilian dispensation. Though he could have done better, but he put a couple of reforms on the board but there was no real follow through. Maybe if Yaradua was healthy/ survived or Obasanjo was able to get him an able deputy (I know some folks will be upset but Jonathan was not competent)

Jonathan of all people to fill the shoes left by Baba Clark, it's impossible task. Jonathan is too timid to occupy that exalted seat. A man that always put truth under his tongue cannot be a leader of regional group, just because he doesn't want to step on toes.

Which patriotic leaders? Awon agba’ya.

Patriotic leaders are in Nigeria and Nigeria is like this?

Na so so promise upon promise from our governors and governments.

ARE U SURE ITS NOT THE TALK ITH YOUR DAD MADE CLARK TO DIE IMMEDIATELY

If I be politicians I will be very careful with what I eat and drink before 2027. May God continue to keep Obasanjo life for us.

RIP to chief Clark 🙇. His watch has ended.

U have a point but that is a general problem everywhere. Ideally the system is supposed to be configured to naturally build up patriots not any individuals making their own patriots so selfish purposes. Now what we have is a dysfunctional system created hawks and vultures.. Corrupt men with no conscience or commitment to nationhood.

Patriotic indeed


All of you disturbing the peace of innocent people in nigeria shall all be eliminated 2025

Edwin Clark was not patriotic. He was a jobber
