The looting and highhandedness in this administration is mind boggling. Imagine EFCC selling recovered assets on their own and sharing the money. If you tell Buhari he will say I'm shocked and that ends it, look at how our soldiers are resigning from military on their hundreds because of Buhari and his service chiefs incompetence. I knew immediately Jonathan called Buhari to congratulate him on his 2015 election victory that it was over for Nigeria, I just knew that the country would sooner or later look at Chad and Niger as Canada.

Yoruba are the most daft and self-centered set of people in Nigeria. I just pity Edo people who would likely follow Yoruba in oduduwa Republic once Nigeria splits, they would never allow Edo people to have a say in their country, due to their envy and tribalistic intoxication. Yorubas brought evil to the South, now Fulanis from other countries can stroll into our farms and cut our mothers and fathers with their cutlass and walk like nothing happened, all because of Yoruba greed for power and envy for Igbos, they thought Jonathan was making Igbos prominent in power and it spelt doom for them since politics is the only thing that keeps them relevant in this Nigeria.

My friend will you quit wailing.. We are 2020.. It's already 5 years.. Igbos this Igbos that... If we are so good in discerning good leaders Äbä will not be where it is and you would not consider Nnamdi Kalu a leader.

And what will be uncle Oshomole's annual return should he make you a governor sir

We are talking of present tense you are talking of future tense..

ospido:
So you suddenly knew the meaning of defend.
Now for you to say Jesus defended the woman who was a prostitute shows that you haven't read that account at all or you read it passively otherwise why did Jesus tell her to "go and sin no more". This means Jesus knew she sinned.
Now contrary to that here you have your Edo "Messiah" defending an incumbent governor in a clear case of thievery. And you're supportive.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

English is your problem as I can see.. You are just moving from one dust yarn to another..
If from what you read from the news Op posted that iyamu defended Ganduje then go back and collect your money from your school its a waste..
Jesus defended the prostitute from being stoned using a question maybe in your small brain defence is when he wears shield and buckler or maybe when he laces his boot like van dyke.. Oga Don twist it if I am to be ashamed what are you going to do.. Is Obaseki and PDP saints.. Is it not the same Obaseki you and your iks and PDP have been telling us how useless he was was about 5months ago suddenly he is the best thing after toast bread.. My friend none of the people insulting Ganduje is better than him get that first into your head.. They all have corruption cases hanging on their heads.. WIKE has one has minister plus the one he is committing now in rivers same as Obaseki money laundering.. So don't come here to act holier than thous.. The hypocrisy of you pdp ilks is nauseating to high heavens.

ospido:
Name one sinner that Jesus Christ defended

Why are you changing topic? You said associate or you don't know the meaning of that? Again maybe you don't know your words and bible I will tell you again... THE PROSTITUTE was defended by Jesus..

anibi9674:
As a pastor why will you associate your self with a thief.

I think we should ask jesus that first... because I think most times he was with sinners

Crispels:
Nigeria despite having over 15,000 students in the US is not among the top 10 countries of origin of international students in the US.

Country of origin

Kiddo there is something called visa on arrival

Visa on arrival for Uk? Oga small small oo why we come get UK high commission for Abuja and consulate for lagos?

RenaissanceGuy:
I like this woman's courage. The era of governors pocketing their state house of assembly and Chief Judge of the state and using them to impeach and remove their deputies is coming to an end.

The constitution says it must be signed by ⅔ members and the number is below that.

pls don't 4get rivers state.. their house of assembly needs deliverance go and also make noise for their deliverance it is needed too

sinistermind:
Where is the lie in what Reno said?? It is a case of slander, why go to the Police if not to intimidate the journalist. He should head to court if he knows it's actually slander. He calls himself a Professor, he should know better.

it not your business to tell isi banjo how to react. . He has chosen his means if you and use no like am head to that court you are talking about.. did osibanjo choose his means of delivering the message for him? why tell osibanjo how to react

eagleu:
If you live in a glass house, please don't throw stones carelessly.

I understand. But in this case Olisa metuh called GEJ out himself and he is in prison.. So how is V. P OSIBANJO lying? If Jackson Ude is sure he has the opportunity to prove it now in a law court.. Osibanjo proves his and Olisa metuh is behind bars.. GEJ is only privileged as ex president and also because of the pact signed with president Buhari's before election..

eagleu:
Let's have a series on how many times Osibanjo called GEJ a thief, corrupt, and drunk.---- before and after he became VP

He called GEJ a thief because he has facts and if not he is an ex president don't you know GEJ will have been successfully convicted via metuh.. So he has his onion not San vp for nothing..

socialmediaman:
That’s what they are good at, using influential positions to arrest people who publish allegations against them.

You’re a public officer, defend yourself before the public, don’t stifle the press and freedom of speech

I knew you will say but anyway our able vp lawyer is going ahead with it you can cry freedom of speech is music to his ears. Next time you will go through the right channel to air you freedom of speech

sapientia:
.

Ribadu went after Ibori, we know how it ended.

Magu went after Danjuma and Abdusalam Abubakar and we see it again.

Its just that Ribadu had no loot to recover hence might not be super duper dirty.

Magu on his own have spent years recovering loot for a vindictive government and he became too comfortable and relaxed.

He was thinking since he doesn't touch APC members he is safe,

But truth is that Buhari always knew Magu will be disgraced out of office but just allowed it to deal with the opposition.

Back to your assertion, all APC members are untouchable till Buhari gives a nod.

And he rarely do that seeing how he endorsed Gandollar

What do you want him to do to Ganduje? A GOVERNOR WITH IMMUNITY.. If Buhari goes after Ganduje you will be the first to shout dictator, constitution and all what not.. Pls make una stop to dey talk anyhow koor

Eazie351:
yeah, I never said a human really stands a chance. bro! did you watch the movie?

I suggest you do. snakes yanking up humans from water, snapping them up from trees.. at great speed. anacondas are supposed to asphyxiate their prey. right?

please watch the movie.

PS: condas would have a hard time devouring a prey above 80kg.

I understand what you mean.. but I am looking at it from the angle that once a human is within their grasp.. escape or survival is impossible. . the speed was exaggerated yeah but it also that fast when it about to constrict a prey

FACT...

warripekin:
How can we verify it's fake news. The last thing you do as a Nigerian is to believe a politician . How much more the ones in Buhari's maladministration. They lie recklessly without batting an eyelid. This present government is the worst in the history of governance in Nigeria.

How can you not believe? When the source is already a problem.. You do not have to believe a Nigerian politician atleast believe your brain it was given to you for a reason.. Discernment.. Geeezhzz mehn.. Buhari is a prophet.. Many lazy youth abound some don't even want to task the brain...

Eazie351:
anacondas can be dangerous but not as portrayed in the movie, yanking a man weighing over 80kg out of water with such swiftness and ease. lol. one even pulled a man up on a tree with his head.


it's often exaggerated for such animals.
you ever watched a piranha movie?

Brother I will suggest you rethink that exaggeration... A green anaconda from op writing is 30 feet.. Bros do yo know what 30feet is? Many people we hail for being tall are about 6feet max 7 feet.. Bro these animals at close rage are definitely deadly especially inside water.. There is no exaggeration.. 1 vs1 with a man bro the human has no chance..

kaylardz:
I didn't know that Magu too is Tinubu boy, so he also has loyalist in d North.

I don't know if theyeven read their comments really..

They lie... Hushpuppi and he associates of election rigger must be investigated and thrown into prison if found guilty shinekena.. No amount of protest will stop it..

[quote author= post=91497154]SOUTH EAST: IS IT NOT TOO LATE?

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. 

However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. 

My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. 

REWIND TO 2014. 
A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 

'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply because those our brethren heavily invested in the PDP at the time were afraid of losing their vested selfish interests.
Till today I'm still trying to fathom the basis for that wicked and twisted deceit especially as many of those Igbo elites who sold that dummy have since ported to the same APC.

We failed to even identify with that new Alliance. Hence the Party, APC was birthed without any remarkable input from us or presence. The few amongst us who aligned were called all kinds of names and abused to high heavens by us even when they were proven right afterall.

Thus the few Igbos who were part of it were at best fringe players as they didn't have the required clout to make serious demands and do the necessary political wheeling and dealing required in Politics to strike the hard bargains since politics is all about interests and numbers. They were even suspect, so much so that it was only their personal political sagacity that gave them whatever they got.

That Party went on to win the Presidential Election which in truth, most of us never believed it could or would, because of our half baked permutations and poor understanding of Nigerian politics. But it did. 

Curiously we turned up at the fore front of telling this same Party how it should share it's 'spoils of war'. We became hypocritical moral champions with an over bloated sense of entitlement. Who does that, in all political reality and practicality? But we did, even while vehemently and vociferously still refusing to shift our position, style and rhethoric.

We dug in. Supported every bad thing and person against the Party, the elected President and the Administration while denying any and every good done to and for our Region.

Fast forward to where we are today. Almost four years after the 2015 misadventure, we have stayed put at 2015, refusing to move forward, refusing to shift grounds, refusing to play pragmatic politics, telling ourselves the same lies we cooked and bought in 2015 and some more. 

Now after election, we have started again saying "APC cannot give Presidency to Igbos in 2023". "Buhari cannot hand over to an Igbo man because Buhari hates Igbos". "APC is deceiving you", bla bla bla.

Of course. We will believe Saraki, who has only but a fanthom dream of becoming President and whose only known record is selfishness but we can't believe Buhari who's already President and who has a record of voluntarily picking two great Igbo sons as running mates in the past? Chukwu aju.

It is interesting and vital to note here that the PDP which many of us still proudly support and adore was in power for 16 solid years and in those years there were 4 Presidential Inaugurations and on none of those was an Igbo man found worthy by the PDP of even Vice Presidency and we are still bold to say it is the APC that has not even finished one tenure that doesn't want to give power to Igbos. Odi nma. 

NOW; Seriously, let's be sincere. As things stand today politically, why would the APC even hand power to us Igbos in 2023? 
On what grounds? 
On what records?
On what politics?
Is power given to anyone? 
Is it an appeasement or a gift? 

The APC is a political party. The main focus of a political Party is to hold power and keep it to enable it deliver on its agenda. So if the APC reads that the SE does not want the Presidency or does not have the capacity to help them win and keep power, they will stick with the regions that can and work with individuals who are interested. 

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. We heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

We really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

We have learnt not to bother ourself anymore to avoid unnecessary arguements with nonentities
As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it..

Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

Only a sensible person like you can ever see sense in this.
Glad to see we still have intelligent people with a sound mind like you around.
God bless you.
God bless Nigeria.[/quote]You have said the truth and nothing but the truth.. Let our people continue to do the same thing and expect a different result.. I have read the survival of an organism lies not in its raw "strength but in the degree of its adaptability" .. This is one thing the Igbo man is lacking.. Political adaptability. He allow emotions and brut strength lead the way.. As Amaechi talk we dey sit down look.. Ya diri gi na nma.

XXLMANDIGO:
Contextually Yes because of the power attached to the position. The President of the Court of Appeal is the final arbiter of election petition . Hr wields a lot of power ,and position wise he is the equivalent of a Supreme Court Judge.

Go find out please.

But case still go up to supreme Court na? How can he be the final and still the case will go to Supreme Court.. If it reaches there what will now happen?

XXLMANDIGO:
Justice Odili doesn't have as much power as the Appeal Court President Man...

Really? Is that do? A retired appeal court president and a current Supreme Court judge?

XXLMANDIGO:
Anywhere I see Ayo Salami JCA (rtd), I see a Vulture, an undertaker and a dyed in wool Corruption Czar ၏ agent. Remember what he did with Osun Appeal Case and other dirty jobs he did for Tinubu that consequently made him reject the privilege of moving up as Supreme Court Judge from the Court he presided, and his subsequent retirement?
I feel so uneasy whenever I hear his name.

BUT HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU HEAR JUSTICE ODILI? Just asking ooo

valentineuwakwe:
noise makers..jobs that have been shared n settle among keyemo, Ngige, senators, house members plus some state governors ....so now the stipends is 60k , thought they say it was 20k. .....parking and throwing of dirty now earns more that teaching/-health assistants /agric extention workers in npower scheme of 30k?
what a wicked set of leaders

I know your type.. You have already applied ooo and you come here to discourage others..

Same thing you did in npower

inoki247:
Bro u know deep down say no be all d money dem go see recover we are not talking about the one that have been spent oh if u like go bring Feds from Heaven d moni no go still complete

The aim is not always to get all the money.. They thing is deterrence.. They don't care about the ones he has flex... They will make sure he has no profit from the funds after release as a way of deterring others..

Factfinder1:
Buhari would rather die than ever probe any corrupt APC stooge

My friend .. Must you comment? Your party is saying the can confirm magu has been invited for questioning and you talking off point.. Are yo the one invited for interrogation? So for your mind he was invited for pool party? Nonsense and ingredients

Bobby4090:
This Guy is a fraud. Just because of fear of the unknown he hurriedly bribed the Doctors to declare him fit so he can rush back to the Office. So fear of his deputy is that real and deep. I advise all Akure statehouse employees to avoid the Gov like a plague till expiry of 14 days from when he first tested postive.

Are you praying for him to remain sick? Is it not good news? Don't worry you will join the deputy very soon to cry well about his recovery..

Murketeer:
Why didnt u start From Buhari

Because he is the current president I will start with people without immunity..

Omo this Ganduje gat no chills ooo.. So wike will have Covid 19 before election and after election he will be fine.. Fear Ganduje ooo if think am lying ask kwankwaso and atiku...
This man mouth no good ooo... The man na savage.. Lol

Dyke15:
Hope it will be a welcome development to u also if u see Gandollar rotting in jail too coz he doesnt need Dubai but just with Babariga,he is good to GO

I will be very happy provided Jonathan, Atiku, obi, ekweremmadu, abaribe, wike, patience and the ones on the APC side too can join them for all I care.. But thieves are not allowed near our top job shikena

Dyke15:
Misplaced priorities*Mtchw...

That one is your opinion.. It is a welcome development for us. Associate of Thieves cannot be gunning for our top job after trying to steal our election in Dubai with the help of the biggest fraudster the world has ever known.. Party of tax collectors and fraudsters must die
