**busy listening to Mr Oreo by Iyanya** Ladies, where you at? Ps: Who has Amodu Shuaibu's phone number? |
LOL...two or three APC Warriors sit down and decide to start a Naiaraland thread using multiple IDs, wishing to swing public opinion of Buhari. All of una be MUMU. You've all forgotten that even in 2011 Buhari won elections on Nairaland. It seems BBC's news report on the efficacy of internet warriors has jolted the fulani herdsmen in APC and spurned them into totally embracing the IT age. Buhari cannot win in 2015, dont let @Gbawe's big English decieve all of una. That's if all the comments so far on this useless thread are not from @Gbawe using multiple handles. |
Imagine if APC fields an Igbo candidate like Soludo or OgbonNaya Onu? How about a George Akume from Benue? I can understand if they don't want to field Fashola from SouthWest for now. I really want the leadership of APC to realize that MOST Nigerians from Southern Kaduna down to Bonny Island see APC as a Hausa/Fulani muslim party with Yoruba muslim stooges-this is the plain truth. The average Northern Christian from Plateau, Benue, Taraba, Southern parts of Bauchi,Kaduna,Adamawa and Gombe states are suspicious of the APC. It is an image problem and the APC is not serious about reversing this trend-they are under the illusion that some powerful Northern cabal of old that controlled Nigeria for 38years still have some mythical role to play. No way! Nigeria has changed politically; if a presidential candidate cannot muster support from at least five of Nigeria's six geo-political zones,that candidate CANNOT win. The larger North may have numerical strength over the South (on paper) but the 'Muslim core North' does not. The APC must wash away its islamic tag by pushing forward a unifying candidate from a least favoured region...and religion. The PDP had almost zero presence in the South-West, but fielding Obasanjo (a Yoruba man) in 1999 changed it all. Today, based on recent elections,PDP controls close to or over 40% of the South-West with Ondo and Ekiti in the kitty. A PDP Presidential candidate will always win majority votes in Lagos. On the other hand, the APC cannot not boast of up to 5% acceptance in the SouthEast. In the South-South, Rotimi Amaechi is just using state resources to put on a show for APC; Adams Oshiomole is 'GEJ friendly'. APC is powerless in the South-South. This is actually sad because the old APP/ANPP had very strong presence in the SouthEast and South-South regions. Let me conclude by saying that if APC fields a non-Northern presidential candidate for 2015, they still may not win. BUT, this would lay a solid foundation for establishing APC as a truly national,non-religious party ahead of 2019 elections. I am Pro-PDP but I desire TWO very strong national political parties. Source: My opinion. |
Raiders:Mr paid APC Agent, advise your party leadership to go look for a YOUNGER, NATIONALLY ACCEPTABLE TECHNOCRAT from ANY part of this great country to come give GEJ a good fight. Buhari is a recipe for TOTAL FAILURE for APC in 2015. Fortunately, the Nigerian army has mastered the art of eliminating illterate Northern youths that will attempt to cause violence after Buhari loses again in 2015. |
1. It is a largely Northern affair. 2. I haven't noticed a sizeable number of delegates from the South-West, seeing a few claiming to be from Abia. 3. Sheyman, General Pype and (most likely) Kenny Saint Best can kiss their music careers goodbye. 4. Podium is filled with desperate and failed Politicians; Tam David West, Bello Masari, Mamora...really? 5. Tinubu, I believe is absent, or probably stuck in traffic. 6. As expected, the serial wife-beater and perenial divorcee,DINO MELAYE, is the MC of today's event. A political nonentity whose sole gift is how to insult PDP-the great party that kicked his crazy A$$ out of their fold. Conclusion: Dream on General Buhari. PS: I am pro-PDP. |
olapluto:The seeds of division was sown over 20years ago when we had Northern military leaders rotating power amongst themselves, destroying the Nigerian army for fear of military coups. These military rulers constituted Provisional ruling councils made up of over 70% Northern musilims. Aso rock was completed in 1991 with three mosques inside, NO SINGLE CHRISTIAN centre in Aso Rock until Obasanjo came to power in 1999. These ex-Northern rulers now form the nucleus of APC and you want Nigerians with a deep sense of history to rally round them? God forbid. |
PDPblogger:@OP, U know,i just can't dispute some of ur points. Strange! |
NewNigeriaMind:LOL, Why? What happened to freedom of speech? |
Rikidony:At least whenever our Nigerian army releases a false statement, they always have the dignity and courage to retract such a statement. But these Cameroonians are just sick. When some Boko Haram fighters surrendered to Nigerian army,we saw pictures. Cameroon media claims 300 Boko Haram members surrendered to them, no single evidence. That's the difference. |
In fact,its so shameful the way some Nigerians ran with the fake stories of Cameroonian army's bravado. Even the international media houses supported such false news. It was all an attempt to totally demoralize our gallant Nigerian army. God pass them. |
Remember when I posted this thread calling Cameroonian army a useless organization? https://www.nairaland.com/1915324/camerounian-army-shameless-organisation Many months ago the Cameroonian media lied to the world that they had successfully released their deputy Prime Minister's wife,killing many insurgents in the process? Many self-hating Nigerians ran with the story and insulted their own Nigerian army in the process. Today (10/10/14)Sahara Reporters just reported that the Cameroonian Deputy PM's wife has JUST been released-remember Cameroonian media already told us their super army had released her since August or so. http://saharareporters.com/2014/10/09/boko-haram-releases-wife-cameroonian-deputy-prime-minister-10-chinese-workers Now Vanguard has just released another new report saying contrary to Sahara reporters claim, the Cameroonian Deputy PM's wife is still in BH custody. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/cameroonian-official-denies-report-release-boko-haram-hostages/ Media propaganda sucks. |
Linda Ikeji was a 'nonentity' blogger like most of us until she got her big break some years ago. Linda's big break was when she posted a video of a young girl being gang 'molested' somewhere in Abia-and that was it. Linda Ikeji became an instant celebrity overnight,international news media like the BBC mentoned and acknowledged her role in ensuring this particular victim's plight recieved attention. More and more people began taking Linda Ikeji's Blog seriously and with that came money, lots of MONEY. This was an act of God; Linda Ikeji was given an assignment to help victims of sexual abuse and bring succor to them, that was the essence of her becoming a star through someone else's misery. No one knows if Linda ever reached out to the initial molest victim that made her blog more popular. When God suddenly gives us unusual easy wealth,there's an assignment attached to it and if we execute the assignment well, God will give us more wealth that our children's children will enjoy. But when we use God's free wealth to spread gossips, blackmail people and flaunt our possessions, then God may get angry and send an @Aye-dee into your life. Ok, I'm done- you can all abuse me now and tag me as one of Linda Ikeji's haters. I just spoke my mind! |
MarvellousGod:It's fair game; Linda Ikeji also used her blog to run down many people in the past. |
I just want to salute Nairaland for standing up against Boko Haram's propaganda machinery and using this platform to support Nigeria's war on terror. Nairaland has stopped promoting Boko Haram's propaganda news and videos in favour of other stories that give Nigerians hope and confidence against Boko Haram. Nairaland has taken this patriotic posture in spite of the negative effect this may have on its traffic. Other Nigerian online media outlets are shamelessly helping Boko Haram to share and post pictures or videos of beheadings and other useless speeches by their worthless leader. The day all Nigerians decide to impose a total media blackout on Boko Haram,that day we would have won the war half way. 'Media blackout' does not mean we no longer report insurgency news from the NorthEast; but it does mean that when news of say a fallen Nigerian soldier emerges we quickly honor that soldier's memory and sell stories about his bravery. NOT showing the world videos of how our enemy beheaded him-helping the terrorists discourage other 'would be' Nigerian heroes. Once again,kudos to Nairaland |
For those of us that kinda know TeeBillz & Tiwa Savage personally,reports of crisis in their young marriage might not come as a surprise. Early last year, TeeBillz(then Tiwa's boyfriend) posted a naked picture of himself pooing in the toilet, according to him,it was a message to his haters. At that point most of us knew that he had a loose screw in his head. How about the case of comediane Princess who (according to amebos) allowed her then boyfriend access to her ATM card while they were dating only to withdraw such access after marriage. Surely,the marriage broke up in weeks. So what are the options for Nigerian female celebrities? How can they sustain long lasting marriages? I've got 5 tips. 1. Leave showbizness forever: If Regina Askia was still a Nigerian celebrity,her marriage would have crumbled for good. She did have early squabbles in her marriage with the African-American husband, but thankfully it was sorted out. Regina Askia in spite of the mad fame she enjoyed in Nigeria during the late 90s walked away from it all. She picked up a career as a nurse/care-giver in the US and from the look of things,she's still happily married, well over twelve years later. 2. Don't marry a fellow celebrity: when two celebrities decide to get married in today's dotcom society,everything goes wrong. It's like living a real life 'Big Brother' reality show where all eyes are on both of you waiting and watching to see who fumbles first. This scenario plays out everywhere in the world where a vibrant entertainment industry exists. When two celebrities decide to get married one of them should leave the industry, preferably the lady. If Olu Jacobs and Joke Sylva were a young celebrity couple in today's Nigeria,they would have found things very difficult. Luckily,during their younger years our societal values were less corrupt. 3. Avoid insecured men: but how does she detect such a character? As a female celebrity,if you are dating a man that wants to join you in every single red carpet event you attend,then there's a problem. He wants a share of your fame, it boosts his own ego and self-confidence. The moment you get married and for some reason he can't join you on some VIP event somewhere in Atlanta (say his visa was denied), he will start to resent you. This is the success secret behind Omotola Jalade's long lasting marriage; her husband is a professional pilot,full of self confidence-he doesn't have time for 'iranu'. 4. Avoid long distance relationships with so-called Nigerian big boys based abroad: Long distance relationships on its own is a b*tch, now add the celebrity factor. I hate to open this lid but a lot of wealthy young Nigerians based abroad see pretty Nigerian female celebrities as a mere trophy worth having. They've seen your movies, lusted over you and knowing they are rich,whenever they visit Nigeria with pockets full of dollars and pounds,you tend to take them seriously. They marry you sharply, and fufil all the lustful desires that their vaseline and kleenex tissue could not achieve when they watched your love scenes with Jim Iyke on IrokoTV. Once they've seen it all they'll let you go and return to their "white woman." 5. Ask important questions to your husband's Ex: it is no longer news that many Nigerian female celebrities end up with divorcees as husbands. Well, nothing wrong with that,but it would be much better if our female celebrities take the pains to reach out to their fiance's Ex wife and find out what truly went wrong in their failed marriage. Such a revelation can safeguard your own future. This particular tip is applicable to all women (celebrity or not) getting married to a divorcee' Bonus tip-Consider polygamy: Yes i said it. If you don't want to leave showbiz but desire marriage,how about considering the position of a second,third or fourth wife? The only bonafide Nigerian husband that 'may' allow you unlimited freedom as your showbiz career demands is one with many other wives to worry about. So, these are my tips...thank me later. |
Boko Haram has always been a Nigerian problem; for many years, the Nigerian government had complained that Boko Haram uses Camerounian territory to launch attacks on Nigeria. A top Nigerian diplomat even described Cameroun as the weak link in our cross-border terror war. All of a sudden, Cameroun 'woke up' and began what looked like a stepping up of attacks against Boko Haram. Unfortunately, all Cameroun did was wage a propaganda war against Boko Haram aimed SOLELY at embarassing Nigeria. Every other week,we are innundated with ficticious news that Cameroun had just killed multitudes of Boko Haram members. Never for once has Cameroun showed pictures of the hundreds of insurgents they claimed to have killed. All Cameroun did was rely on 'self-hating Nigerians' to rebroadcast such fake news and castigate their own Nigerian army. Unknown to most Nigerians, Cameroun has a very weak army with combined personnel of less than 15 thousand. Cameroun relies on France for everything. In Camerounian towns like Yaounde and Douala, bottled water, beef and bread consumed by their middle class is imported from France. Boko Haram many times humiliated Cameroun by openly kidnaping government officials (or their wives), Chinese workers and tourists. When this happens, Cameroun's government pays a ransome to free these captives, only to issue statements that they've killed insurgents and rescued victims-with no evidence. Cameroun, weeks back went as far as reporting that some 480 Nigerian soldiers (tactically retreating from battle) had fled and defected into Cameroun. As expected,some 'self-hating' Nigerians ran with the news. Where are those 480 Nigerian soldiers today? Have they applied for assylum in Cameroun? No, these brave soldiers rejoined their team in Nigeria and they are now, part and parcel of the patriotic crew currently dealing with Boko Haram. Just recently some Camerounian official took to the social media to claim they had just killed Shekau in a cross-border raid. Hours ago, they posted pictures of the alleged dead Shekau, PICTURES that had already circulated in Nigeria since Friday night. The Camerounian official(s) were so dumb not to realize that 1. Konduga is no where near the Camerounian border 2.The Nigeria military had since paraded some of Shekau's favourite weapons including an APC plus pictures of other dead insurgents. 3. Why are some Boko Haram fighters surrendering to the Nigerian army and not the Camerounian army? While we commend our armed forces thus far, we urge them not to relent as the name 'Abubakar Shekau' is more of a myth than an individual. Another Shekau can resurface tomorrow; the real battle is against the doctrine of Boko Haram and all those that have subscribed to it. God bless Nigeria. Source: My opinion |
2cato: In war just like in politics any tactics to disloge ur opponet is fair and accepted. But the extent APCs and their evil mininons on in nairaland ar sponsoring promoting advertersing and encouraging BH to score cheap point will make satan shout the blood of jesus. If u ar in doubt ask egift and barcanister they ar in better position to tell u.LOL, i see ur point jare, but in fairness to them there are still some of us that make it a point of duty to always defend NIGERIA and our President no matter what. |
@OP in as much as I hate conspiracy theories,i find a lot of sense in your write up. |
Ever since 2009 Boko Haram has been attacking several Northern/North-Eastern towns at will. Most times they attack such towns, hoist flags, hang around and flee, sometimes they lurk around until Nigerian security forces arrive and chase them out-yet no one ever presented the narrative that Boko Haram had TAKEN OVER such towns. Unfortunately, today, Boko Haram through its massive media propaganda partners have included the term 'TAKEOVER' into our national counter-terrorism vocabulary. Thus, if a small band of terrorists decide to conduct their usual deadly raids on a small remote town or village in North Eastern Nigeria, Boko Haram's media network quickly gets to work and tells the world that Boko Haram has TAKEN OVER yet another Nigerian territory. The strategy here is for Boko Haram to continue to disperse small/medium band of fighters to many remote towns and villages, while their media partners simulteanously continue announcing to the world that Boko Haram has 'OVERRUN' more Nigerian territories. Innundating the Nigerian polity with multiple media reports of takeovers and overruning of Nigerian territories is meant to plunge our security forces into a state of confusion and disarray with a pinch of hopelessness. This can cause a large number of Nigerian soldiers to say to themselves, "Why bother,these Boko Haram guys are everywhere." -The Nigerian army's morale will gradually continue to dampen and at a later date the insurgents will abandon those smaller towns, regroup and attack major towns like Maiduguri,Yola and Damaturu in full force. This is Boko Haram's strategy and I hope all Nigerians,especially those with ownership or access to media outlets (online and offline) are listening. A simple counter-propaganda strategy from all patriotic Nigerian media outlets (and the rest of us) is to continue reporting every single Boko Haram attack for what it really is "A COWARDLY ATTACK" and NOT equate such attacks to territorial gains. Afterall, in spite of Boko Haram's alleged control of several Nigerian territories, we are yet to see the head of their caliphate (Shekau) relocate or move into one of the airconditioned secretariat offices located in territories he claims to control. Again, let's join hands and fight Boko Haram with everything we've got. Source: Common sense |
skijo: when i first read this post i thought the op was misinformed but looking at his other topics its obvious that he is just a political toolIf trying to galvanize Nigerians to form a fierce united force against Boko Haram both on the field of battle and off-field makes me a 'political tool', then that's exactly what I am. |
whatlyf: this is another bogus assumption. Which and which media do you consider "opposition"? Why not back your bogus accusation with fact? You are not different from Jonathanians and PDP hierarchy that blame oppositions for the government's failure without any tangible evidence as a proof to claim. I challenge you to supply some list of "opposition" media and their articles on the insurgency in relation to what you posted.*sighs* Ok! |
authority2006: How are we going to solve this problem of Boko Haram when in the first place, we are still living in denial? Whether the news that Boko Haram hoist flags is true or propaganda, how does that erase the fact that about 100 police cadets are missing after Boko Haram attack? How does that erase the fact that our dear and ever brutal Nigeria Army are unable to reclaim Gwoza?If Nigerians and the Nigerian government were truly in denial, Boko Haram would have been occupying Aso rock as we speak, even those of us in Lagos or Port Harcourt will not be spared. When Boko Haram started their war on terror in Nigeria, ISIS did not exist. Look at what ISIS has done to Iraq with her American trained army. Nigerian army killed the original Shekau, they killed Abu qaqa (remember him?) alongside many top Boko Haram commanders. Why else do you think Boko Haram now uses teenage female suicide bombers? They have been decimated. But their remaining fighters are a very deadly lot. This does not mean that our govt has not erred in many areas,they have. But let's constantly give them some credit and encouragement, in spite of our party affiliations, please. |
whatlyf: The insurgency war is far from being over as many remote towns in North East wll continue to experience attacks and bombs will continue to explode here and there, but the truth is that Boko Haram fighters are being decimated rapidly and their only hope of survival increasingly rests on the pages of selected newspapers, reckless social media fora and opposition backed news websites.Dear friend, i urge u to sit back and take an objective look at all online (and offline) news media platforms that seem to be very critical of this current administration. Now do an assessment of their reportage on terrorist activities. You'ld observe that while neutral (some call them pro-govt) media houses report terrorist activities with genuine compassion, ending with 'reassurances' from government of a victory over terrorists...other 'opposition backed' outlets tend to end their insurgency reports with acute hopelessness,constantly quoting unverifiable, unconfirmed and unnamed sources. Nigeria is at war and its pretty bad, but which message(s) should we constantly feed ourselves as Nigerians? Messages of hoplessness or messages of hope, triumph and courage? I hope u understand my point. |
ejibaba: I will blame FG and the minister of information. They knew we're in a war situation and in such climate you are expected to control a larger share of the media rather than do this they relaxed and allow them occupy fully and even acquire some of the media houses as their agent of compromise. Until we are proactive in this country we may never make a head wayI TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. |
deji68: : "What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender. It was the same at the battle of Tet. You defeated us. We knew it. We thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice that your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefield. We were ready to surrender. You had won." He makes the point the Vietnam War was not lost in Vietnam; it was lost here. That's why I keep telling everybody that the Drive-Bys were trying to do the same thing in Iraq that they did in Vietnam for a host of reasons, not the least of which among them was to reestablish their own ability to influence people into the United States losing a war that the media was opposed to."The other day Boko Haram and their media partners told us that 85 young men had been abducted in Borno-both the Nigerian army and even the general populace ignored this news report cos it was a confirmed lie meant to either create panic or send Nigerian troops on a wild goose chase. Most of us were busy facing a more realistic threat, EBOLA. A few days later reports came from same news sources that the abducted boys had been miraculously released by the Chadian army. Till date there's still no evidence that the abduction ever took place. A section of the Nigerian media has been totally compromised. |
A section of the Nigerian media has innundated us with news of Boko Haram capturing 'new Nigerian territory' and hoisting their flags. This is apparently the next line of propaganda war that Boko Haram has adopted in the face of impending defeat in the hands of Nigeria army. Boko Haram in conjunction with their foreign and local media partners now concentrate more on targeted attacks in a predetermined location; they clash with the Nigerian army,kill innocent people, lose many of their own fighters and retreat to their hideouts. Next morning,Boko Haram media partners get to work by informing the world that they received "phone calls" from "unnamed" sources that Boko Haram has taken over new territory and hoisted their flags-no pictural evidence. Even the very proud Abubakar Shekau is yet to provide a new video showing him relaxing at his newly conquered territory. The Nigerian army in its wisdom has reduced or stopped announcing its victories and casualty figures against Boko Haram-this has afforded our army the liberty to kill,capture and slaughter Boko Haram fighters at will without any international scrutiny. This is why Boko Haram and their media backers a few weeks ago,released a video showing members of Nigerian army slaughtering their members-it was a subtle cry for help. The Nigerian army have now turned the tide and become terrorists to Boko Haram members and their supporters. The insurgency war is far from being over as many remote towns in North East wll continue to experience attacks and bombs will continue to explode here and there, but the truth is that Boko Haram fighters are being decimated rapidly and their only hope of survival increasingly rests on the pages of selected newspapers, reckless social media fora and opposition backed news websites. |
itsmine: Op, nice question. In d same vein, who's d ultimate beneficiary of yaradua's demise? If yaradua were to be alive today, dt person wouldn't be near our collective treasury today.Duh! At least Yaradua wasn't murdered in cold blood-his fate was in the hands of his wife and then (Northern) kitchen cabinet. |
