Rubbish


All created under Military rule
Gowon is a Northern Christian - he created his too



You served under both Obj (and defended him vociferously and insulted Achebe in the process) and also promoted Jonathan as a very competent candidate
Today you are suddenly seeing them as mediocre - we are not so foolish

And we have
Trump as president
And Fayose and Wike are governors
And Duterte as prime minister in the Philippines

You cannot blame Nigeria for the failure of democracy


What about Obasanjo's 8 years of 1999 - 2007? Was he not voted in?
The North also says Obasanjo deliberately gave them an unfit president

By zoning and your beloved PDP has it in its constitution
Even states in the South agitate for zoning
People from the South are the most tribalistic
You can see it even on Nairaland!


Are there no individuals in the South
Are Etete, Alakija etc from the North?



The most ridiculous
Gowon,a Christian, ruled for 9 years straight without any disturbance by Muslims
Christians toppled his successor, a Muslim, just after 6 months

Yes, let us free ourselves from the religious yoke
we will adopt the Constitution of Saudi Arabia and mention Christianity, Canon law etc 300 times
- we go to work on Sunday to Thursday in the first half of the year
and go to work Mon - Fri in the second half of the year

Nigerian is a Christians state by practice - We have a constitution based on Christian doctrine (England had a blasphemy law recognising only Christianity at the time of Nigerian independence) , the mention of Islam is made as the exceptions in limited cases to give the impression Islam exists
Traditional religion and Islam allow polygamy. Yet Nigerian laws, in line with Christian practice, forbid it
How is the practice of Christianity frustrated with the mentions of Islam
Christians have two free days to worship - Sat for 7th Day Adventist and Sunday for all others
Muslims have to beg their bosses to take 15mins break to worship on Friday

Christmas Carol is sung in schools, but Muslims students cannot wear Hijab
Southern Christian hamper Islam - Fayose has just moved to demolish mosques, in River State Univeristy, no mosque is allowed while churches are plenty in the school


And how is the state religion stopping activities in Sabon Gari?



Are you against the North or Islam?
Is the Sultan the Chairman of CAN? what is your own?
And CAN presidency appears to have been zoned to the South; that is okay by you. right?
Anyway, what is the import of being chair of SCIAN?
You mean the League of Imam in the South always listen to him?



The Queen is the head of Government, the Sultan is not. Stop the mischief

Anyway he opposed it on religious ground and your representatives can still vote anyhow they like
A Christian too criticised
Forget it, Muslims have the right to talk



Washngton, Islamabad, new Delhi, Nouakchott, Lima, Gaborone, Canberra are purpose built capitals
FFK, you are lying and maybe you would explain these as some north south yoke in those countries
Are southerners not claiming they own Abuja


When Jonathan was president, he ensured that two service chiefs (Army and Navy) came from his primary constituencies at the same time- did you caution him when ensured that the aviation, finance and power sectors (NAMA, FAAN, NCAA, CBN, DMO, SEC, NSE, PENCOM, SWF, NERC, Bulk Power Purchasing Co) were dominated by people from these areas
Did you complain?

fallout87:
Logoff and go educate yourself. Someone who can't spell something as simple as "You're" but accuses others of being fools.

Don't blame the government or people in your village for your life being a failure. It is your own fault, because you are too simple to embrace intelligence, growth and education. You're so pathetic you responded twice to that post; we all know why.... because it's the truth and that truth hurts you.

Abeg free yourself from mental slavery and learn how to read, write and think properly... maybe then your life may progress and you'll be an asset to your family instead of a constant liability.

Try to borrow some sense before you write.

You mean the type Awolowo had when he was saluting Gowon who was young enough to be his son? Anything to keep the Northern Gambari masters happy right?

UgojiC:
You just said my mind. The National Conference reports came p with the solution of regional government where regions are to manage their resources but this administration swept that under the carpet for reasons best known to them. Nigeria has a lot of problems but it's in our hands to do our little best.

opal4real:
The Igbos will sell the Yorubas for Money and the Yorubas will sell the Igbos for power/position to be second to the Hausa/Fulanis if Nigeria remain one.

The major problem are the Yorubas they seems scared to survive on their own, these are people who have the greatest potential to be one of the most richest countries in West Africa if they go on their own.

Yorubas should encourage Biafra agitation,if Biafra succeeds they will go their own way too.

If Nigeria breaks today the South West will be Dubai of Africa, South East will be China and Niger-Delta will be Saudi Arabia bt we all know the North will be Niger or Chad cos they are born parasites who can't survive independently,they always need a host and Southern Nigeria has been hosting them for 60years.

Southern Nigerians should wake up!!!

sapele914:
Ignorance is not an excuse your so called national conference delegate were they selected or elected? and may I aslo ask the name of the pdp bigwig that represented your constituency and you in the conference?what of Lagos state,apc sent bode george to go and talk for them?Jonathan goodluck only deceiving the youths and mentally blind,you can fool some people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all the time.

THE IGBOS AND THE YORUBA 'COLD WAR'; A CASE FOR SOUTHERN UNITY:

By Charles Ogbu

"Power is like a shadow. It resides exactly where men who are under its control think it resides"

The above is true with regards to the situation of Southerners in the Nigerian experiment.

We think the Fulanis are the ones that have been holding power and because we think and believe so, it actually look so. Because of this assumed knowledge, we hand over our destinies, our future and those of our children to a people who are not above 11 million, have little or no education and contribute little or nothing to the national pulse.

What if I told you that the real power rests in the South and with southerners but that the mutual distrust and foolish superiority contest between Igbos and Yorubas is the biggest obstacle to wielding this power? This senseless feud between these two Southern giants is also the biggest enabler and promoter of the fulani Oligarchy.

The southern part of Nigeria owns the oil which feeds the entire country. Without the oil today, there is no economy and there is no Nigeria. The same south controls the commercial sector of the economy. The media is still owned and controlled by the South.

When a people owns the only thing that is feeding a whole country and still control commerce plus the media through which people's thoughts and opinions about anything can be shaped and can equally boast of the best human resources, what else does it take for such a people to wield power in such a country?

Unity!

The few fulanis who have been running this country directly and indirectly since independence, what do they have?

Unity!

When the fulani Oligarchs want to achieve an aim, they effortlessly find a way to get every northern minorities such as Christians and middle Belts on their side even when they almost always end up discarding these same minorities and even killing them once the aim is achieved.

Now, ask yourself: how have the fulani Oligarchs managed to turn the entire Nigeria into an 'Animal Farm' with them as the only "Napoleon' despite their low education and the fact that all the prerequisites/bargaining chips for acquiring and wielding power are domiciled in the South??

Igbo-Yoruba 'cold war'! This, right here, is the answer.

The day the two biggest southern ethnic groups --The Igbos and The Yorubas --decide to put a stop to their needless bickering and channel all their energy towards confronting their common enemy --the children of Danfodio--, that is the day the Fulani Oligarchs will understand that even though the king is the one with the crown, he is nothing without the kingmakers and the people.

The Fulanis are not runing Nigeria because they are smarter than others. Far from it. They are messing with the destinies of over 180million people because the two Southern big brothers with the wherewithal to end their murderous reign of impunity are busy chasing rats while their houses are afire.

I am no historian neither do I pride myself as a man of letters but I know for a fact that the biggest weapon of the fulanis is neither guns nor bombs. Their biggest weapon is their ability to identify their opponents' weak points or even create one where none exists, magnify it and use same to create division amongst them just so they would effortlessly implement their Divide And Rule tactics.

Sadly, they have succeded in using this weapon against Southern Nigeria's two biggest ethnic groups.

Throughout history, all the wars and woes visited on both the Igbos and the Yorubas all came from the fulanis. There is no record of ethnic clash between these two humane southern Nations.

No time has these two people ever disagreed violently.

Strangely, the mutual suspicion that exist between these two great peoples seem far greater than the one they harbour against their common oppressor, the Scions of Danfodio.

It was not the Igbos who imprisoned Awolowo and killed thousands of Yoruba youths who protested the unjust imprisonment for days in different Yoruba cities in 1963. It was the fulanis and the killing was done by another fulani man, Muhammadu Buhari, who was the then platoon commander, 2nd infantry brigade, Abeokuta. That same year, Buhari was gifted with double promotion on the same day by the govt of Tafawa Balewa.

It was not the Igbos who imprisoned many Yoruba leaders, forced others into exile and killed others like Abiola after annuling his presidential victory.

It was not the Igbos who attacked Yoruba citizens in Lagos neither was it the Igbos who desecrated Yoruba cradle of civilisation, Ile-Ife by cutting off the head of a Yoruba citizen and parading it along the street, thereby sparking off a bloody ethnic clash that ended in the arrest of only the Yorubas including an Oba by the fulani president and his fulani security agents.

It is not Igbo herdsmen that kidnapped a yoruba son, Chief Olu Falae and have been going about terrorizing and killing Yorubas in Osun, Ogun, Kwara etc with govt-sponsored impunity.

On the other hand,

It wasn't the Yorubas that killed thousands of Igbos in the 1945 Jos pogrom and 1953 kano pogrom.

It was not the Yorubas who slaughtered millions of Igbos in the North after the first 1966 coup.

It was not the Yorubas who jailed an Igbo son, Alex Ekwueme who was only the vice president while the president, Shehu Shagari, a fulani, was left in a cosy apartment in the govt house. It was a Fulani man, Muhammadu Buhari who did this in 1984 after overthrowing the then govt in a coup.

Was it the Yorubas that is holding Nnamdi Kanu? Or was it the Yorubas who rained bullets and acid on hundreds of Igbo sons and daughters praying inside a school field in Abia state on Feb.9th, 2016 and those remembering their Biafran heros inside a church in Onitsha on May 29-30, that same year?

Is it Yoruba herdsmen that have been killing, maiming and raping villagers in Nimbo, Nsukka, Awgu Bende Council etc, all in Igbo land?

Today, even Jack, my two day old puppy knows that Nigeria CANNOT work as presently constituted. It was the rejection of the Aburi Accord by the Fulani Oligarchs which would have restructured Nigeria as a Confederation that led to the Biafran war. Today, the Yorubas want a restructured country. The Niger Delta want the same thing. The Igbos want Biafra BECAUSE Nigeria has refused to restructure.

Who are the only people resisting the call for restructuring, thereby holding everyone to ransom? Your guess is as good as mine.

Dear Yorubas and Igbos, what exactly are you dragging?

Why have you refused to realise that you have a common enemy, a very ruthless common enemy who have kept you busy fighting among yourselves while he's busy ruining your future and that of your unborn generation?

Can you not see that your siblings; Ijaws, Urhobo, Edo, etc are all looking up to you for that 'big brother' leadership and direction?

Can't you see that the fulanis are not really the problem? You are! Your disunity is!

You have no reason to be fighting.

Was it not a Yoruba man, Lt. Col Fajuyi, who chose to die with his visitor and commander-in-Chief, Thomas Umunnakwe Aguyi-Ironsi, an Igbo man, rather than give him up to the Hausa/fulani soldiers on 28th July, 1966?

Was it not an Igbo man, Odumegwu Ojukwu, who released Obafemi Awolowo from calabar prison and sent a squad of Eastern Nigerian policemen who escorted him to Ikenne, Ijebu, his home town?

You pride yourselves as the two most educated people in the country, yet your best brains have been reduced to playing 2nd fiddle to the Scions of Danfodio who are mostly without even a secondary school certificate.

In 1979, it was one of the best Igbo brains, Alex Ekwueme, playing 2nd fiddle to Shehu Shagari.
In 1983/84, it was Idiagbo playing 2nd fiddle to a Buhari who had no certificate.
In 2015, it is a Yoruba professor of law still in political purgatory under the same fulani-born Muhammadu Buhari who has now acquired a certificate........NEPA bill certificate.

Ojukwu is dead. So is Awolowo. And since I was born, Igbos and Yorubas have never killed each other. How about we put the gory stories of the war behind us and save ourselves and unborn children from this danger that is staring us in the face?

It is always the descendants of Danfodio doing all the killing, all the subjugation and slavery and we, the entire south have always been the victim.

In a nutshell, Charles Ogbu is simply saying that the Igbos and the Yorubas should channel their energy towards confronting their common enemy. You can join forces to fight a formidable enemy and still remain ethnically patriotic to your respective ethnic groups!

kingzizzy:
Well, as an Igbo man, we knew about the 'Yoke of slavery'. Thats why we declared our independence and fought for it for 3 years. The tribe FFK comes from became the "willing tools" of the Hausa/Fulani cabal to continue the slavery of 'one Nigeria'

deomello:
1. Your slavery started when your forefather ZIK sold out the south to become a powerless slave for the Hausa/Fulani north when he did not have to.

2. Your forefathers and leaders were and still part of the willing tools of the Hausa/Fulani cabal because they've been part of the system since day one and still are from Ekwueme as VP slave to shagari and Ojukwu as errand boy for IBB and the same North he fought in a war that killed millions of your people.



The sad part is the fact that you people don't even know your own history and the part you and your forefathers played in the formation and the destruction of Nigeria from ZIK selling out to the North and formulating Nigeria as a country against advise and also your brothers starting the coup and blood shedding culture when they slaughtered military and political leaders from the SW and the North.


All you people do is play victim while ignoring the destructive part you played from the beginning and still playing till today.

You reap what you sow my friend.


And per FFK, he's still on crack cocaine I guess.

Do you see what I mean. This guy is a slave. He doesn't even have the education level to properly explain his point.

You can't spell.
You have poor grammar.
You are both mentally and physically a slave.

If you have graduated secondary school it is a disgrace to that school, city, state and region.

You're so foolish you don't realize that FFK wasn't the one who created that write up.... he specifically stated someone else did and shared it with him. He then shared it with the world.

I don't live in Nigeria. When I do come and visit for business you are one of those on the street crying out "well done, well done" and begging for naira. Instead of you to see the message is good; you're so ignorant all you can focus on is the trees... yet you've missed the forest!

Respect yourself and be quiet if you don't have the level of understanding! Respect yourself instead of showing us all of your foolishness!

kingzizzy:
All this is mere Lagos/Ibadan motor park propaganda. How can one man, Zik, enslave anybody? What have you people done to stand up to the Hausa-Fulani oligarchy? Have you guys taken up arms against them? Have you protested against them? Have you people confronted them in anyway? Only know how to stand in a corner, shout one Nigeria and beg for true federalism.
