| "Before We Become A Hated Region" by MORNDEW(op): 8:22am On Feb 18, 2016 |
,During the controversy surrounding the then President Yar'Adua's illness and the call for then Vice President Goodluck E. Jonathan to be made the acting President, It was the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) led by Pastor Tunde Bakare, Prof. Wole Soyinka and other well meaning Nigerians that took it upon themselves to organize protests and rallies to demand that Jonathan be made an acting President. These were Yoruba men who believe the right thing should be done at all times. With the pressure from these groups and the international communities coupled with divine providence, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was made an acting President in 2010. During this time, Ankio Briggs, Edwin Clarke, Akpabio, and other acclaimed activists from Niger Delta never organized any rally, not even in PortHarcourt, Warri or Calabar. They remained silent. Fortunately when Jonathan won Presidential in 2011 and during his reign as President, the wife who is constitutionally irrelevant decided to throw shades and insults to a man who fought for her husband's emergence as the President of the most populous Nation in Africa. During this time, the South East who later adopted Jonathan as their son, never blocked the Onitsha bridge to demand that he be made President, they were doing "Sit down look". But fast forward to 2015 General elections, Jonathan became the best thing after Ojukwu and they will do anything to bring him back to power. Incase many don't know, the acclaimed love for Jonathan was not due to the fact that Jonathan was the best for the presidency, or that he was truly their son as they claimed but because they enjoyed lots of Privileges and juicy positions during his reign as the President many of which plunged us into this present economic quagmire. They told everyone who cared to listen how Jonathan was not allowed to rule in peace, how Apc caused every problem in Nigeria how they are Islamic party, Northern party etc. They came up with the rubbish that Amaechi is a betrayer and Judas. (I guess Edwin Clarke now is also a betrayer going by his recent utterances and dumping of the PDP) Like their gullible followers who buys into anything they utter, even when they do so for political gains, they replicated it everywhere possible and even took such illiterate sentiments that should have been questioned to the polls and crashed. Today they blame every other region for their woes. The above background form the basis of this article. After losing the election, instead of learning from the loss that Nigerians were fed up of gross incompetence and pseudo leadership exhibited by President Jonathan, they continued with their irrelevant party sentiments, they pushed unnecessary sentiments to the South-South. This days you will hear such nonsense from some section of the youths in South-South as APC has no place in South-South and South-East, they are Islamic party with Islamic agenda and other nonsense. I must remind my Brothers from the South-South that as at 2014, there were two States that belonged to the APC (Rivers and Edo). That the founding fathers of the PDP came from different region of the country and so also is APC. The APC has among its founding fathers Ogbonaya Onu, Tom Ikimi, Rochas Okorocha etc. From the South-South and South-East so how then is it a Northern or Islamic party? It must pointed out that every party was registered at the National level and serves as a platform for anyone to achieve its political ambition and contribute their own quota to national building. No party was registered as a Regional one. The nonsense of terming a political party as religious or regional will not profit our Region the South-South. We must resist such nonsense being sold to us by political miscalculators. Every political party should be embraced by our people. We should not demonize any political party out of sentiments but we should criticize them based on facts, sound arguments, and having the interest of the Nation at heart. No matter what they do or say, if they must rule this nation, the votes of South-South and South-East will not be enough to earn them the Presidency seat. So lets allow them continue in their irrelevant sentiments. But when any of their politicians want to achieve their political ambition, they will jump into such party they hated yet their gullible, illiterate followers being used. Like many of them are doing now. I am appealing to my South-South brothers and sisters especially the youths not to join in this nonsense of terming a political party as belonging to a particular region or religion. When you say a political party is for a region or religion, what do you mean by that? What do u tend to achieve with that? How do you want such region to feel about you? Before we become hated like the miscalculating region lets put a stop to that nonsense. We will rule this country again that is certain. If we must do that we will need the support of other regions and a political party to achieve that. We must not play into the hand of mischief makers, discord creators. Let us stop the saying that a particular party is for a region or religion and has no place in South-South. It will do us no good. ***I am Princewill Chimereze i believe common sense should supersede unprofitable sentiments and I believe religion should not make us stupid also and that National Interest should supersede selfish interest.*** Follow on Twitter @P_Chimereze like our Facebook page: https://mobile.facebook.com/EnlightenNigeria-1167125733316469/ , Sources: www.enlightennigeria..com/2016/02/before-we-become-hated-region.html?m=0 https://mobile.facebook.com/EnlightenNigeria-1167125733316469/ |

OK... all these will continue in Nigeria until there is equality and nepotism is killed, because those who created this country never planned for progress and development. until each region have the same number of reps, senate, states and each state control their wealth, we would be like this in 20 years coming. |

monkautos:If u're a S.easterner, that is understood,(30%very insignificant politically) except that east is coercing the opportunistic ss into that stupidity. |
| Re: "Before We Become A Hated Region" by bonechamberlain(m): 12:53pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
MORNDEW:no success can be achieved with injustice and inequality, leaders have done little that's why the people have decided to do it their way, that's y u see protest, violence, bombings, anarchy, strife and Rancour. despite all these those at the top still haven't been able to apply reason to. restructure the country. u failed to also ask how all Presidents have used the resources at their disposal. the resources given to them, who gave them resources? man or Nature, are they supposed to be waiting for one irrational person in abuja to doll out cash to them before their states function. which is the bane of this country today. and until the right things are done nothing would change in this country |
| Re: "Before We Become A Hated Region" by payosehtor(m): 1:05pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
Let them ( S east & the brainwashed ss) continue, maybe they'll soon realize they've being left behind the scheme of things politically, |
| Re: "Before We Become A Hated Region" by MORNDEW(op): 1:07pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
bonechamberlain:all these for simple question i asked you? Is it the president's failure that has kept ur region the way it is? Na me go do the right thing? Is it not ur representatives? And talking of right thing, thats what i just proposed above. And blocking our roads for a useless course is wrong. |
| Re: "Before We Become A Hated Region" by kernel504(m): 1:08pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
COWARDS IMPERSONATING IGBO ID SINCE 1700 AD. AFTER SEEING OSUN AND IMO BEEN INFECTED WITH FINANCIAL INSOLVENCY, YOU STILL PRESCRIBE APC FOR ANOTHER STATE. NAIRA HITTING 370 AGAINST THE DOLLAR AND YOU ARE STILL PRECHING, SHAME. |
| Re: "Before We Become A Hated Region" by bonechamberlain(m): 1:25pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
MORNDEW:I doubt if u are chimereze, cause if u are u would know that its the failure of all Presidents that has kept the east region the way it is, which federal presence is no the east, the only international airport is daily being undermined, why do you think easterners are trooping to other regions, because there is a lot of federal establishment in those areas which in turn provides jobs and create jobs, the governors, reps, senators etc are trying their best, but because of the way this country has been structured their efforts are seen as nothing, as without the fed support almost nothing can be achieved. which shouldn't be so. which course is a useless course, what is the course of Niger delta militants, what is the course of Fulani herdsmen, what is the course of book haram, what is the course of ombatse, massob, etc. all these agitation would continue until this country is restructured properly. I read all your write up still can't find what u proposed to change this country, instead u were interested in your people ruling the country again and probably following the same pattern of the past leaders, and then the poor leadership cycle would continue. as a civilized Nigerian u should be more interested in changing the country positively and not seeking to occupy power. |
| Re: "Before We Become A Hated Region" by MORNDEW(op): 1:38pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
bonechamberlain:So Biafra is same as Boko haram and Ombatse as u hv said and u want us to listen to them and not use force on them. From ur analysis, it can be said that Jonathan, Zik, and Aguiyi Ironsi also kept ur region the way it is? Yes am not Chimereze am Adekola because i did not join you to fight for a useless course. Well, i will not do so. Untill you ask ur representative what they ve done with what have been given to them and how well they ve represented you, you will continue to cry foul. Besides na other people suppose develope ur region? Why not ur brothers invest in them than in Lagos. I guess u also believe Lagos is ur land also abi? |
