Yes fact but you cant see American soilders interfering to civil matters you hardly even see them on the road. but Nigeria is a country who's vigilante works are even done by the millitary so what respect would they get?

The military were undergoing a well publicised operation when they were confronted, they were not sent there to substitute the police patrol.

He gave appointments freely to northerners mainly from the north-west which he did not win so I don't understand your analogy. Secondly,politics and governance are two different things. When you are going for elections you are a politician but once you win you become a statesman who treats everyone equally and not based on the votes you got, that was why OBJ did not sideline the south west after they didn't vote for him in 1999.
If governance becomes only for those that won an election there is going to be ethnic mistrust and fight.

Did you read where I wrote that the North (especially NW which dictates the northern political trajectory) is too politically strategic and electorally dangerous to mess with due to its electoral might?

Secondly, politics is not a tea party. Interests must be served and common sense dictates that the interests of those who gave the winner their mandate will naturally be have a higher priority than those who worked tirelessly against his success. However don't forget that the constitution protects those that didn't vote for the winner by specifying certain appointments (e.g. one minister per state) that must be made regardless of the voting pattern.

Finally you wouldn't expect OBJ to work against his own region because of the electoral outcome, especially as his opponent was from the same region.

You seem the one ignorant my friend. Wondered why the police use tear gas and army dont? Wondered why the police use riot shield and army dont? Its simple, its the police that is built and equipped to quell people who throw stones, bottles and water. The fact that the army is there trying to put an order amongst those who ain't even armed is a shame.


The Army were already there for a widely publicised military operation and were attacked by an approaching angry mob armed with bottles and stones, you sound as if they were specifically sent there to quell a riot.

attackgat:


The video showed Soldiers firing and retreating. Soldiers should not be shooting over sticks and stones. That is not what the Nigerian government put guns in their hands for. Did you also see the agitator who was shot in the leg?

Clashes between the civil populace and the police/Army happens every day all over the world, it is nothing new.

But when Police/Army decide that sticks and stones is enough reason to shoot into a crowd, then that wrong.

After 2 days, Soldiers in Abia state now regrouped and stormed the place killing several unarmed people. I dont even want to go into the human rights abuses they commited by gunning down people all over Aba and Umuahia and making people lie down in muddy water.


The agitators should have not been so stupid as to try attacking a military procession. The Shiites were not half as lucky as the Aba agitators.

As for the invasion, blame the cowardly chest beating runaway Kanu for threatening national security by instructing his legion of followers to burn down the country to ashes if he was rearrested, and daring the military that it would meet its end if it also tried to do so in Aba.

Read Reuben Abati's letter.

When he formed the BSS and BNG, why didn't you conduct a Referendum to put to rest where the loyalty of majority belongs to

Simply because you cannot blackmail or arm twist the government to achieve your secessionist goals. The only constitutional channel is through your reps in the NA.

Anything else will definitely end up in blood and tears.

Dont turn around what I said. Even the American police will shout warning and instructions before they open fire unless a clear and present danger already exists.

But in a situation where a convoy of American Policemen are passing a group of agitators and the agitators pelt the convoy with sticks and stones, never will they get down from their vehicles and open fire directly into the crowd.

If you watched the IPOB video it would be clear that the soldiers tried to retreat in their armoured vehicle but were continually attacked by the agitators. If a blaring siren wasn't enough warning then I wonder what would be. Besides you think an approaching angry mob armed with deadly bottles and stones does not qualify as a clear and present danger? Puuhleease.

Take it from me, the hundreds of innocent lives taken in the US already this year involved minimal confrontation (not even physical attack with bottles and stones) from the agitators.

You're sounding really ignorant so I'll recommend that you google #blacklivesmatter for more enlightenment.

Maduawuchukwu:


That was a mistake. I meant 2011. Did he sideline them?

No, first of all because he actually won some northern states in 2011 like Adamawa, unlike the SE where 99% of the 2015 votes were against Buhari.

Apart from that, politically, the North is too strategic a region to mess with because of its electoral muscle.

The difference is that because America is a civilised place, they would never shoot their own citizens with live ammunition over being attacked with bottles and stones. That is not a good enough reason to bring in guns.

Have you been living under a rock? shocked

You mean American security agents don't shoot their own citizens whether armed or unarmed?

The same American officers that would shoot you dead for moving your hands nearer to your pockets talk less of attacking them with bottles and stones?

Wow you either gotta be kidding or need to read more.

I initially thought it was the US government position which would have been surprising, but it's now clearer that it's an appeal from an ordinary peace advocacy group.

Is this an official U.S. Govt position or an idealistic peace advocacy NGO/agency?

I'm asking because the America I know will never tolerate anyone that tries to undermine or attack their military whether with bottles, stones or grenades like IPOB.

Politics / Re: 95% Versus 5%. An Honest But Politically Incorrect Statement. by Rawani: 7:36am On Sep 29, 2017
maddock:


I agree and also disagree with you, my agreement is that of course in politics you don't reap where you did not sow but at the same time my disagreement is that politicians are know to be very good at deceits. Most of the agitation in the east is traceable to the 95 Vs 5 statement which is an honest statement. Maybe just maybe we would have had lesser agitation from the east if he didn't used that line and the opposition would not have capitalised on it. Just my humble opinion.

Unfortunately PMB is a brutally honest man that calls a spade a spade and I'm in full support of that.

Ironically they initially pretended to be proud of being tagged 5% and even printed t-shirts to celebrate it in their usual defiant manner that always ends up in futility, only for us to have been disturbed by their wailings a few weeks later which has continued for 2 years now grin

If anyone is looking for someone that will walk on egg shells around s/easterners so as not to hurt their feelings, it's definitely not Buhari.

They will rather keep spewing trash about how those figures aren't of any consequence without providing a counter.

They try to derail the thread by screaming almajiri and poverty, forgetting that due to the great northern population amidst limited national resources, the poorest are bound to be found in the North. They however also conveniently forget that the wealthiest Nigerians and best public infrastructure such as roads etc, are also found in the same North.

Save yourself the heartache and simply explain how the South East is not more of a parasite than any other region in this country (except war torn NE).

The statement was not necessary politically incorrect as politics is all about interest and it was only the minority who incidentally never voted for him that found it offensive, but it was the plain and simple truth.

You cannot reap where you did not sow and this is a universal rule.

And what are the S/Eastern states looking for to strip them of their parasitic status?

Very good question, because statistically they're more parasitic than the entire North (minus the war ravaged NE).

In fact Kano and Kaduna IGR alone dwarfs the entire IGR of the South Eastern states combined; they're actually dragging with what's in Davido's account.

In other words, no other region is more dependent on FG allocations to survive, and no other region is as parasitic as the SE and this is a verifiable fact.

You never gave Buhari your mandate, so apart from what you're constitutionally entitled to, you cannot expect that you'd be treated exactly the same way as those who gave him their mandate. Common sense.
