₦airaland Forum

Billyonaire:
Assets Declaration and Presidential Debates are conducted before election NOT after, Buhari, do not put the cart before the horse. Show up for a debate.

Is that the reason the drunkard from Otuoke hasn't declare his?

AlpineSnow:
Haha. Don't know where Yaba is. I'm kenyan. But I'm in the states now.

Here are some of the works that made me so familiar with Nigeria:

- Nnamdi Azikiwe's Autobiography
- Some works by soyinka (I've only read snippets of Soyinka coz he's too smart for me)
- "The Nigeria Civil war" by John st Jorre.
- A host of works by Achebe.
- Multitude of short stories by Nigerian authors.
- I've read three books by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- " Sunset in Biafra" which is a criticism of Biafra by Elechi Amadi who I think was an Efik man or something.
- A host of historical vignettes on Nigeria.
- "My Command" which is Obasanjo's autobiography of the civil war with a focus on his role as commander.

Essentially, I've read a lot about Nigeria and know quite a bit about it. And I just discovered nairaland last week.

You know so much about Nigeria. What do you know about Efik ethnic group?

barcanista:
You see when you shout change, you are expected to bring something different from the norm but it seems the reverse is the case in your own case. As far as I can recall, Obj has not been given any chance to participate in the government, that his exParty men flocks to him as a former President and leader does not make him a changed man.

As for GEJ, I cannot support executive rascality, but I have never seen where a Governor is embarrassed out of Office by less than 2/3 of State Parliamentarians. This is a FACT!
The case of NGF is an irrational one. The Nigeria Governors' Forum is like a Market Women Association, it is not recognized by the constitution and the parliament. So whatever goes on their is there business and not that of Nigerians. No one has arrested Amaechi from holding his NGF meeting neither has anyone arrested Jang. Mimiko can wake up tomorrow and form his own.
The cases of Ekiti and Ogun(2010-2011) are condemnable, however, there is the court to go settle issue and get illegality upturned. I also condemned in strong terms the assault on judges.

During Obasanjo era, less than the required number impeached Obi of Anambra State, the court upturned it. Yet it took the appeal court to rule before Obi was reinstated.
5 Members impeached Governor Dariye, the Court Upturned it.
18 out of 32 members impeached Ladoja, they sat in a hotel, the court upturned it.
Atiku Abubakar was "sacked" by Obasanjo, the court upturned it.
INEC under Obj arrogated powers to themselves to disqualify Atiku, the Court Upturned it.
Obi, Mimiko, Oshiomole, Aregbesola and Fayemi were denied their mandate under OBJ, the Court upturned it.
Need we go on?

I'm in no way defending or in support of OBJ's deeds when he was in power. But for you wanting to paint GEJ as a saint is hypocrisy. You sound balanced though.

stinggy:
A good move, if it is never too late.
I marvel at the naivety of these online politicians shouting 'OBJ has no political weight'.

But someone in PDP has contrary opinion

barcanista:
Anyone going back to this Obj for navigation and direction needs to tell us what has changed between the Obj of 1999-2007 and Obj of today.

barcanista:
Any one going back to this navigation and direction needs to tell us what has changed between the Obj of 1999-2007 and Obj of today .

Yes, we need Mr. President, Sule Lamido, etc. To tell us while they keep running around beginning Baba.

Obj used 5 members of Plateau state House to impeach a governor

Like we are not seeing this under GEJ

Allow me quote vanguard here:

”Under President Jonathan’s watch and with his tacit support, a few lawmakers dictated to majority of the members of the Ogun State House of Assembly, which was locked for a long time. Under President Jonathan’s watch, the Nigerian Governors’ Forum was sabotaged by his minions who declared a Governor with 16 votes a winner over the one who scored 19 votes, in a injurious blow to the concept of democracy.
"And under his watch, five lawmakers – out of 32 – have become the majority and, simply because they have the backing of the presidency, are now being given police protection to disrupt the proceedings of the House.

An honest and sincere letter/review.

AlpineSnow:
How do Nigerians write? I'm really curious about this.

Like you write.

AlpineSnow:
I'm not lying. Why is it that you guys are surprised that someone knows quite a bit about your country? I meet people who know a lot about my country quite often.

You write like Nigerians.

With or without Akiolu's endorsement, Buhari will win and it's going to be a landslide winning.

We know better. No one expects them to admit they collected the money. But come 30th of May 2015, CAN or no CAN, President Buhari will not spare any hands guilty of any form of corruption or the other.

AlpineSnow:
I'm flattered. I'm foreign. Never set foot in Nigeria. I've read a lot about Nigeria and know quite a bit about it. I'm not sure that convinces you, but it's the truth.

I hope you're not lying.

saniabubakar174:
this is the kind of man we need to be our president

You mean a failed president

berem:
millions of Nigerians have also passed through this same process of education,so what's the big deal?

You people should stop hyping your clueless president. He's still SUPER CLUELESS!!

I tire for them saTANists o. This woman served too, so what's special.

Igbo leaders this, Igbo leaders that. What's wrong with these our leaders. Can't they speak with a voice....mtcheew

The write-up doesn't sound foreign to me.

Kudos to The progressives. A man of questionable characters should not be allowed to such position.

Too late. We, the good people of South-west have decided to vote for #Change. We prefer a man of integrity to a thief. We are voting the man with zero tolerance for Kwaraption (you can see that in his face). Yes, in General Mohammodu Buhari we trust.

laprince:
go GEJ

Yes, he's going. He has less than 4 months left in Aso rock.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
On your words we trust.

Are you sure you trust this man. With all his lies and unfulfilled promises?

tomakint:
Do I have to share your warped line of reasoning because I don't seem to understand your garbage. Election time is just around the corner, why not wait for the outcome......... 'Fantasist' what was that?

I'm not expecting you to understand me. Ain't you a TANoid? Sorry for bordering you.

tomakint:
.......the good God of Heaven will bless in abundance these true patriots from the Yoruba race, the real Omoluabis showing their unalloyed supports to the 'Man of the Moment', Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria 2010-2019! Even our own Gen Adebayo Adeyinka (rtd) is representing.......

Fantasist! Ask yourself ; what electoral value does these 'Omoluabis' add to GEJ. None!

Tonylyte:
Painment! Bw, stop using photoshopped pix to insult the innocent(barcanista) dude, he is not in anyway indebted to you and your crew. U are even owing that dude ....u guys over-worked him.

Owing who? Are you okay? For the last time, stop quoting me.

not4sure:
I am sorry these men cannot help Jonathan to win southwest

Bitter truth.

These so-called elders can not win their polling units not to talk of wards for GEJ.

Tonylyte:
But when he has not seen the light, that is when he was with you, he never fell for the highest bidder.� are u not a hypocrite? Between, why are u all(apc supporters) behaving as if u lost buhari ever since barcanista left your camp?

Stop quoting me.

Tonylyte:
#MyWatch: barcanista's exit from the camp of the apc have really frustrated them. This is the true epitome of what am saying.
God bless barcnista and all the true progressives
GEJ till 2019.

What's my business with one faltering sucker that falls for highest bidder. No time for beefing please.

Make I tend to my bird small

All I see are hungry-looking old nonentities in need of Egunje and security. Don't be surprised when they start singing like parrots.

I made this meme for our number 1&2 citizens. Hope they'll love it.

Beremm:
Your father is a dog, anumanu.

See your life. Omo ale jati jati

berem:
It is only cowards that clone monikers. You will and can never attain my status on nairaland.

Beremm:
I am berem, now will you leave me?

Who released this dog from cage.

NgeneUkwehu:
Don't attack me because I have seen the evil in APC.

Clothed mad woman. Don't you ever quote me. Weyray

NgeneUkwehu:
Do i know you? attention seeker

Bloody imposter. Get your ass off here

NgeneUkwehu:
Do i know you? attention seeker

Thanks for giving me that attention. You shall get your Egunje as promised.
