₦airaland Forum

As usual 99% of the respondents would be iPod miscreants, same people that say they want Nigeria dead and don't wanna have anything to do with the country. So ironic they seem to always be the ones most interested in the affairs of Nigeria.

Have they finally jettisoned their silly dreams or something??

As for that Red Head, I wonder the physician that finally fixed his eyes, ears, and mouth (fingers) that he can now read tweets, hear things, and respond accordingly. He lost the use of those organs some weeks ago when asked about his choice of the people that printed his book. The blabbarmouth didn't speak for over a week!! Now the dust is clear and he's back to his usual grind.

Anumanu somebody.

They will come for your head!

Take this man serious at your own risk. Someone who became deaf, dumb and blind for two weeks when asked about the reason behind the choice of his printers which ran contrary to all his sermon regarding local patronage.

These were the kind of lies they sold in 2014/early 2014 that earned them a very painful kick in the balls.

A man died and went to for judgement. As he stood in front of the
Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He
asked, ''Why all the clocks?''
St. Peter answered, ''Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone who has
ever been on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the
hands on your clock move.''
''Oh'', said the man. ''Whose clock is that?''
''That's Mother Teresa's.'' replied St. Peter. ''The hands have
never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.''
''Incredible!'', said the man. ''And whose clock is that one?''
St. Peter responded, ''That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The
hands have moved Twice, telling us that Abraham told only
two lies in his entire life.''
''Where are the clocks of the Nigerian public office holders AND the
Nigerian PRESIDENT?'' asked the man.
St Peter replied, "They are in the office. We're using them as
ceiling fans."

Jesus is Lord!! Chaii!! Rotflmao!!! That one be say when the Nigerians dey sleep sef, dem dey lie.

@ Op, I just saw the thread. Came in late since I didn't see the mention on time (you misspelt it).

Great article there but trust the nay sayers to pick holes in ever alphabet therein.

Buhari is on the right path to righting the wrongs of the past admin and those of us who actually casted our votes in his favour aren't disappointed how he's going about it.

The Wailing Ekpas can wail till eternity for all we care.

Hoefornigeria.com?? Mtscheew.

By protocol in a democratic setting, Presidents, Governors and even Local Government Chairmen don't prostrate for traditional rulers. They are far far subordinate to them in the order of protocol. They only shake them to greet them...

Anyone in a King's Palace is subordinate to the king. When out in public or elsewhere, it might be different. That is the norm.

I don't know where you are getting your ideas from.

For me, the troops on ground at the frontline are my greatest heroes. They are the ones taking the bullets for you and I. Our airmen too deserve no less commendation for the support they give the ground troops.

Also, a lot of praises must go to the average Nigerian electorates who sent the Ineffectual Buffoon packing paving the way for those men up there to come do the needful.

Nigeria will rise again.

HungerBAD:
True Talk.

No truer word has ever being said like this.

Absolutely. That is why they are called Wailing iPOD Tadpoles.

How is prostrating before a King "against protocol"

And I can't see anywhere he prostrated "flat" before the King mr Op. You might want to point that out to us.

By the way, when is the thug driving his next gwongoro?

Has the country not been in recession since forever

How many times are you guys gonna recycle this trash?? Na wa oo.

They'd tell you: "that he constantly makes commonsense all the time doesn't mean he doesn't make nonsense sometimes". Smh.

merbenko:
please do your self a favor by telling the truth. Are you justifying the killing by fulani in the north to be the kinsmen that are behind it?

Who's talking about justifying killings?? I'm talking about the press constantly reporting only one side of the story and as a result dumbing down the general population as they are kept in the dark about the truth surrounding the incidents.

If the truth about a problem isn't told, how does one solve such a problem

Obiagelli:
Thats what you get when a certain group controls the media from a religious point of view. Have you forgotten how the conviniently hid the fact that yinusa had lived with Ese's family for years in their report of the whole saga.

Are you kidding me?? Where did you get that?? Never read that part.

Stealthideals24:
I work at a farm built in the outskirt of Oyo. Various Fulani settlements surround our location. I have never witnessed confrontations between them and village dwellers here. Anytime I read these news, I look around for possible hostilities, and find none.

People are simply too ignorant about the mechanisms of these incidences as all they know is ONLY what the press reports.

If I gave you an account of what really happened in Agatu as narrated to me by a friend, a witness, and an Agatu indegene, you'd be amazed.

When one tries to tell these people the other side of the story around here, they are so quick to tag one a "slave" since he dares to challenge their popular opinion.

Such a terrible thing.

Kyase:
My brother Progressive01 , I thought I was the only one that noticed such a thing, there was this particular news I posted here on politics section but one of the mods just move it out of here to another section hidden, few minutes later I saw a counter thread that was made on the same issues it quickly made front page, that wasn't the first time. I just dey observe.
As for that Fulani killing this and that, the only news you see here is the Fulani killing but you won't see the ones that the other tribe did, even if you post am dem go hide am sharp sharp.
Just dey notice anything/post against APC/buhari's government will quickly make front page.

These people have no idea what goes in the North Central especially Benue State. They have never stepped their foot on these soil yet they'd wanna tell you exactly what is going in your own neighbourhood. They have no idea the traditional rulers in some of those flashpoint communities are largely responsible for these clashes between farmers and the herdsmen as they give lands to the normads without due consultation, collect huge sums of monies, only for the inhabitants to turn around and try to force them to leave resulting in all out bloody confrontation with both parties suffering serious casualties.

Remember the incident in Gboko when one of those traditional rulers was almost lynched to death when he was seen at the bank with a Fulani man during the height of the crises in 2013.

The press mostly reports only one side of the story, feeding and promoting public anger and hatred towards the Fulanis (make no mistakes, I'm not their fan) since there's already a long established preconception they are a bunch of rampaging violent killers.

The Fulanis have been living very peacefully among the Igede speaking communities in Benue for eons without as much as a a single incident of violence between both sides. The only time they came close to a confronting one another was sometimes in 2011 somewhere in Ameka, Oju LGA, when one of their cattle was killed and the meat shared among those who killed it. The herdsmen simply reported the elders of the community and the "thieves" presented themselves after a threat was made to curse those responsible if they don't come forward. They were made to pay an equivalent amount to the herdsmen and the matter was settled!

These accounts are never heard in the press since it doesn't sell and doesn't conform with popular narative.

A lot is going on that people are ignorant of honestly.

I really don't get how the guy isn't seeing that anyone who can't be trusted to stick to a narrative will end up losing whatever gains [/b]he makes in the in[b]short term...

This is a link to the thread that he rallied support for The Economist reffering to Jona as an ineffectual buffoon ,same Jona El No Clue he is waxing lyrical about today....

This is one post that I hope he sees & checks himself, he has a way to go & should exercise caution..

It is a pity honestly. Today the products of that buffoonery which he didn't support have become items Buhari is "lucky" to have inherited.

It beats me how easily one opposes his own ideas and opinions.

The judiciary remains the weakest link in our quest to permanently uproot corruption or at least drastically reduce it.

What a pity. I don't envy Baba at all.

Good day Nigerians.

Some of us have long lost the zeal to create threads on this board because of the activity of some mod who appears to have sworn to ensure only one narative is promoted on here.

I'm not sure the motive behind this as most of the avid supporters of the current regime on the forum are serving one lengthy ban or another while some people who claim not to be "Nigerians" and have sworn to bring the country to her knees are allowed to roam free spreading secessionist propaganda and hate speeches against some tribes, religion and region in blatant disregard for the Rules of the Forum.

I have come to the realisation, and accepted the fact that some people would see anything good in Buhari's admin over their dead bodies and the reasons for this aren't fat fetched even as they are unjustifiable:

1. He is a Muslim.

2. He is from the North.

3. He is a Fulani man.

4. He is a member of APC.

5. He defeated their referred candidate in an election.

6. He has sworn to hold the immediate past admin responsible for its actions.

Now, every living human being has an inalienable prerogative to bear whatever character they imagine best suits their purpose in life, but when societal norms are to be taken into consideration, one cannot but question the character of certain persons as they run afoul of what is morally acceptable.

When one becomes an ardent "flip flopper" whose character easily changes shape like the mortar on a porter's wheel, such a person becomes an agent of destabilisation against whom voices of reason should speak out.

I was leisurely taking a stroll on the board when I came across a thread and upon opening it, I couldn't believe the epic lies contained therein. Right from the first sentence the writer tried to twist the mind of the reader to subdue any chances of them forming unbiased opinions about his position on events as the relate to the current government as he went in an interview with Qatari Aljazeera during his
not-so-fruitful trip to Qatar.. The questions someone with an independent mind would ask are:

Who is the Op to tell us about the success or otherwise of the President's trip?? Is he privy to some privileged info not in the public domain?? On what scale is "fruitfulness" of a foreign trip measured?? What are the indices that show how "not-so-fruitful" a foreign trip is?? Is there a specific time frame within which one measures this success and outside of which whatever gains that come thereof is null and void ??

But just as expected, most of the commentators who first arrived on the thread, a people who once loathed the Op with such raw passion in the not-so-distant-past and at some point called for his head- a situation that resulted in him stating how much they hate him on his signature- happened to be the ones cheering him for such a "marvellous" thread!! They cared less the obvious lies from the op as long as the thread is anti Buhari and anti APC.

Encouraged by knack for turning truth on its head and sometimes getting away with it, this same poster who has stated on here on countless occasions what a failure Mr Jonathan was went ahead to assert that Mr Jonathan handed an El dorado to Buhari and Buhari didn't inherit any problems from his predecessor!!

This has got to be the biggest and most audacious LIE anyone in our politicospare has ever told!

Now, let us take a brief trip down memory lane and see what a Utopia Jonathan handed over to Buhari:

1. Fuel Supply

Nigeria is facing a full-blown national crisis as virtually all sectors of the economy
has grounded to a halt as the fuel scarcity
bites harder across the country.

As the economy races to breakdown, the Nigerian government appears helpless, with President Goodluck Jonathan merely counting days to hand over the problem to the incoming government of Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.

From the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to the 36 states of the federation, reports are that virtually all public and private institutions have shut down in the face of shortage of fuel to maintain normal businesses.

Worse hit are hospitals, schools, banks, transportation companies and telecommunication operators, which have
either suspended normal operations or issued notices of closure or scaling down on full business hours for lack of fuel to power the engines that power their activities.

2. Electricity Supply

Nigeria’s overall electricity generation has dropped to an unprecedented low of 1,327 megawatts, the Ministry of Power said
Friday, a week before the transfer of power
from President Goodluck Jonathan to
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.

As at 12 noon Friday, most key power plants in the country, including those located at Utorogu, Chevron Oredo, Oben gas-fired power plants, were all shut down, while Ughelli and Chevron Escravos power plant were all isolated already, the ministry said.

www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183496-nigerias-power-generation-at-all-time-low-crashes-to-1327mw.html

3. Security.

This item especially needs no references as we are all aware of what the situation was as opposed to what it is today. The fact the previous government sat on its oars all along only to be jolted to act in the last days leading up to the general elections when the reality of the possibility of losing the election was staring them in the face bears testament to what a failure it was when it came to securing the lives of Nigerians.

Boko Haram in the North, Kidnappers and robbers in the South, Ombatse in the North Central, etc, were all having a time of their lives as the government slumbered away, using the nation's armed forces to hound and oppress the then opposition. The country making it though that period gives one the impetus to imagine there isn't any man made situation out there the country couldn't survive.

4. Refineries.

The Op stated that "Buhari was lucky to inherit refineries undergoing infrastructural reform" and in my head I was like wtf!!! How does "inheriting an item undergoing repairs" make one a "lucky man"??

Jonathan was the president for six effing years, a period under which Nigeria earned record forex due to record prices of crude oil and the best he could do was hand over old refineries under repairs!!! Worst still, someone has to nerve to paint this as a legacy passed on to a successor! This to me is mediocrity taken to cosmic proportions.

Jonathan promised to build new refineries in the country when he campaigned in 2011, are there any such facilities to his credit in the country today?? The blunt answer is NO!! I'm not even sure if any groundbreaking was done to build any.

5. Ethnic Clashes.

Another bold-face lie the Op said was that "Jonathan handed over to Buhari a Nigeria devoid of ethnic clashes" indirectly making reference to the Agatu incident and other related herdsmen incidents. What a pity.

First, the random clashes between the Fulani nomads and some communities predate Jonathan's regime, lasted through it and continues to this day. The worst such incident we witnessed happened under Jonathan's era where villagers were displaced from their settlements in the Naka, Gwer West, Guma along with other communities in Benue that share boundaries with Taraba.

The displaced persons flooded Makurdi in their thousands and were camped in places like Tiley Gyado Second. Sch. and St. Mary's Primary School, Padopas Sec. Sch, Govt Model Second Sch, etc.

The stench of the decomposing carcass of dead cattle that filled their air as you drive along the Makurdi Aliade road, just after Igbor, is still fresh on my mind. A truckload of cattle was hijacked from some transporters, driven off the road into the bush nearby and set on fire burning the cattle alive!!! As they decomposed, the stench was simply unbearable- it felt like death was literally hovering in the air as you drove by! The incident was never reported but any Benue/Makurdi resident would confirm this (cc. Kyase).

This problem appears to be an intractable one as it has defied a lot of attempts to fix it, but I believe with the commitment of the present government to address all the security challenges it inherited, before long, we'd see very positive outcomes as regards this particular problem, just as we have Boko Haram.

6. Economy.

It is difficult to discuss this issue exhaustively here but that Op was being clever by half when he just stated in passing that the economy was ding fabulously well since it was the "number one business destination in Africa". As a matter of fact, the first item captured on this list puts a spear right through the heart of this "awesome" lie. It gets even worse when one views this on the backdrop of per capita indices.

7. Upsetting Religious Order.

There can be nothing farther from the truth than that poster's allusion to the President tampering with the religious order of the country simply because he joined a coalition led by an Islamic country to fight terrorism.

This particular position is in keeping faith with PDP's sordid propaganda tactics of forcing the "Buhari-is-a-religious-fundamentalist-and-wants-to-islamise-Nigeria" garbage down our throats no matter what it takes.

These people are quick to forget the immediate past admin's romance with the Islamic Development Bank. It is on record (and I stand to be corrected) that Jonathan is the only Nigerian president to have attended their meeting in person and the president who's secured the most financial instruments from them- pray tell, why didn't anyone scream "Jonathan wants to Islamise Nigeria" then??

The Nigeria has signed pacts and entered into agreements with Christian dominated bodies more times than we could remember- no one raised a finger in objection to our leaders trying to "Christianise" the country- but once an Arab/Muslim country is involved in any bilateral agreement with us under the current admin, the PDP propaganda machinery goes into overdrive as they regurgitate their overused, boring, and superanuated lies which are mostly counterproductive.

These people promoting these volatile prejudices would flush their Nigerian passports down their toilets should an opportunity to live and work in one of these "Islamic countries" present itself. Even pastors "sponsored by their church members" leave the shores of the country to go to an ISLAMIC country to celebrate their birthdays!! How much more hypocritical can we be??

8. Double Standard on Secession.

In this instance, the Op sited Buhari's total support for Palestinian statehood and his "intolerance for Biafra agitation" as double standard. Forgive me reader, but only a very ignorant man would draw any form of similarities between the Israeli/Palestinian palaver and Nigeria/Biafra.

What is happening between Israel and Palestine is more or less a protracted war between two countries, whereas what happened in Nigeria was a civil war in a country. What is happening in Palestine is an occupation by a disproportionately powerful and belligerent neighbour- there isn't any occupation in Nigeria.

Both countries have their governments but since UN has yet to recognise Palestinian Statehood (any such move would surely be vetoed by the United States), they refer to their government as the Palestinian Authority. as it stands, over 100 countries around the world recognise Palestinian Statehood with the staunchest opposition to this coming from US and her closest allies. I'm sure they themselves see the propriety in recognising Palestine as a state but for the benefits they enjoy from their friendship with the US, they'd rather stick to their guns.

Now, tell me, where the hell is "Biafra"?? Do they have an "authority", let alone a "government"?? Hell, where does the "Biafran territory" begin and where does it ends?? Which country in the world recognises them?? What level of legitimacy does "Biafra" has?

It is just appalling anyone would think the previous admin didn't hand over any problems to Buhari- that is simply an unacceptable exaggeration.

We understand the need for an opposition as it strengthens democracy and encourages good governance, but the manner in which the current opposition is playing their role leaves a mighty world to be desired.

Lastly, mull over this:

He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him.

This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions. --THOMAS JEFFERSON.



Thanks.

For those who always rent the air with screams of marginalisation, I wanna ask- why are we seeing only names from some specific tribes on that list?? Why aren't other tribes, like mine for instance, included in the list, or aren't we Nigerians

I never stop wondering what this country would look like if every tribe that feels they aren't represented at the federal level rise up in protest of government's attitude towards their "plight".

Rubbish. People are discussing serious issues and you're here speaking through your anus

That moniker has been given another two weeks ban for "violation of Rule 8" when he created a thread asking if nairaland has jettisoned Rule 9 given the number of pro-bia*fran threads that have been left to flourish on the forum.

I told you some mod is simply out to silence "O" forever and you thought I was joking.

This is just too damn petty. Some folk somewhere has probably made it his mandate to ensure only one narative- that of PDP- is heard around here. Too bad the admin doesn't see this.

Imagine this thread and what a lie it represents- "TOTAL Blackout in NIGERIA"- yet they don't see it as a violation of Rule 8, infact, it was moved to the fp and has been sitting comfortably at the top of this board for days!! But when Omenka ASKED A QUESTION regarding the forum's policy on Rule 9, he was banned for "violating Rule 8!!

dealslip:
I think the IPOB were just disgruntled and saw Okorocha as a traitor for aligning with APC and the sworn enemies of Biafra, the North.

There is no better proof that iPork is an arm of PDP than what happened at Chatam House. Why pick on just Okorocha of ALL the Igbo leaders, senators, HoR members, and all other political office holders in the SE?? It is simply because he's a member of APC and nothing else.

iPork is a propaganda machine of PDP- it is simply TAN rebranded.

loopman:

Those Ipobians are really easily predictable. You can't win anything predicting them correctly.

They are not Ipobians, they are amphibians, frogs at best.

When BH back then allegedly named Mohamadu Buhari to be one of those who'd negotiate with the FG on their behalf, the iPork Miscreants said that singular act was clear evidence Buhari is one of their sponsors.

I told them it is typical for non-state actors and agitators to name "trustworthy" people/statesmen as their reps when they attempt to sit at a roundtable with the government, it is the usual practice WORLD WIDE. But those brainless crabs insisted Baba was a sponsor. I also sighted the example of Wole Soyinka who was appointed by the militants to Darley with the government and asked if that makes him a militant sponsor- they still resisted imbibing a little wisdom.

I bet by this, according to iPod Miscreants mode of thinking, Anyaoku is a sponsor of the bastards.

I laugh in Okike Abiama, the god of the miscreants.

Better than beating him to death.
