FriendChoice: Can a snake be trusted? I hold firmly the believe that : yorubas are harmless as enemies but treacherous as friends. Give them a wide berth and just like snakes they can't strike |

APCHaram: Did they not trust ss 2011 ? What did they get in return? |

FriendChoice: A young girl found a young snake lying. Frozen in the snow She took it home with her, warmed it by the fire place and placed it on her bosom The snake after being revived suddenly struck the girl. The girl wrenching from pain looked at the snake and asked why? The snake replied "I couldn't help it for I am a snake". Ingrates will remain Ingrates. With a buoying economy under GEJ the same SW benefited mostly from economic activity to the point that Lagos was ranked as one of the top economies in Africa. GEJ complied with both quota system and true federalism so what is their problem? What I know in life is that the more you help some people the more they end up hating and resenting you. Case in point the north and sw under GEJ. Now that they are in power how is their general condition? When hate and envy envelope your judgement you end up shooting yourself on the foot. |

APCHaram: No sir tell yourself the truth. SW is marginalized despite their support. Without their vote, GEJ might lose the election. But what do they get in return? President - SS V.President - NW Senete President - NC Speaker - NW Chief Justice - NW Gov of central Bank - NW Minister For Petroleum - SS Minister of finance - SS Minister of education - NW Cheif of defence staff - NE I.G of police - NW and NE They support Gej but he push them away. 1 Like |

FriendChoice: The speaker position was zoned to them until the Yoruba Muslims controlled by Tinubu supported Tambuwal over Patricia Etteh. And you know the list of ministers you presented plus political appointees is incomplete. Jonathan met all constitutional requirements in attaining true federalism in all his appointments. Maybe you ought to say their greed for juicy positions was not met or Tinubu's goons were not appointed. |
Re: How Awolowo Destroyed Southern Unity by Nobody: 9:54am On Feb 21, 2017 |
APCHaram: Yes my list is incomplete but if you have none of the aforementioned position in this country then you're nobody. Yes Gej meets constitutional requirement same as Buhari that east are crying for marginalization. |
Re: How Awolowo Destroyed Southern Unity by APCHaram: 9:57am On Feb 21, 2017 |
FriendChoice: So are you saying that they felt cheated in not getting minister of petroluem or finance? That is the kind of ingrates I am talking about. |

ImadeUReadThis: Go back and learn from your elders bro. Azikiwe, Awolowo, OjukwU and Ironsi all have their flaws. They made regrettable decisions. So don't crucify only one person whilst leaving out the others. |
Re: How Awolowo Destroyed Southern Unity by Nobody: 10:05am On Feb 21, 2017 |
APCHaram: What I am saying is: 1. Sw is not marginalized during Gej and same goes to SS and SE during Buhari. 2. Sw is marginalized during Gej and SS / SE is marginalized during Buhari. We must agree on one of the above first before I understand your argument. We cannot have two definition. |
Re: How Awolowo Destroyed Southern Unity by APCHaram: 10:06am On Feb 21, 2017 |
FriendChoice: Don't be funny This is the worst administration since 1984 in terms of adopting true federalism. Buhari has made good his pledge to ostrasize not only the SE but the SS as well. Amaechi's appointment was not based on regional considerations but because of his contribution to Buhari's Presidential campaign |
Re: How Awolowo Destroyed Southern Unity by Nobody: 10:25am On Feb 21, 2017 |
May be our discussion will end here with you. I like sincerity in my argument. When you speak say the truth. Gej has fulfilled his constitutional role in federal character you said but now Buhari has not. pls help me with one constitutional federal character that Buhari abused. We are not talking of Amechi here. is Amechi the only person that become a minister from SS? Mention one state without a minister in that region Who is the Governor of CBN Minister of State for petroleum Minister of Transport Minister of Labour & Employment Minister of Science and Technology Minister of Budget & National Planning Minister of ForeignAffairs Minister of Trade, Investment & Industry Minister of Niger Delta Who is ungrateful now. You or the Yorubas ? 1 Like |

iRONSI DID NOT DESTROY NIGERIA'S FEDERALISM. You people have started with your dosage of distorted history again. |
