Bayswater:
Akin just like his dad was dishing out unsubstantiated jargons [/b]so AyeDee had to call him out.
The [b]uncultured Pygmy said Boko haram controls a third of Nigeria so ayedee stood in defence of the Nigerian Army to let him know Boko haram are only in control of two towns.

If there was a murder in that debate tonight, it was ayedee that murdered him with facts. He corrected the neophyte severally tonight.

Typical PDP paid rats, always throwing insult for every little thing. So throwing tantrums is facts to you? He said Buhari dont have certificate, and still open his wide mouth to say he failed mathematics. He is just like FFK, no points but personal insult and tantrums. He was easily murdered by the guy but you will never admit it.

He was brutally murdered by one Akin guy.

Neither a tribalist nor a hater

AUGUST 16, 2013 BY FEMI FANI-KAYODE

Since I wrote a series of essays about the relocation of a handful of Igbo beggars to Anambra State by the Lagos State Government and the reaction of my friend and brother Chief Orji Kalu to that relocation, there have been many reactions. Many have commended me and supported my position but some have not been so charitable. I have been called a ”tribalist”, a ”scallywag’, a person that ”ought to be in jail or a mental institution”, a ”hater of the Igbo”, ”an emerging Hitler”, an ”inciter of violence and hate” who ought to be ”called in by the authorities” and ”stopped from expressing his toxic and hateful submissions” and so on and so forth. All this simply because I wrote a series of essays about the history of those that hate to hear the bitter truth about their past.

I have even been accused by one particularly excitable and emotional commentator who really should know better of preparing the ground for the ”mass genocide of the Igbo” in a similar fashion to ”what happened in the north in the early ’60’s” and in a similar way ”to the events that led to the genocide that took place in Rwanda in the ’90’s”. Needless to say 99 per cent of these outrageous assertions have come from Igbo writers and commentators who are clearly in denial about their own past and who have lost all sense of restraint, reason and objectivity. I wholeheartedly reject these very serious yet unsubstantiated allegations and baseless claims and I challenge my accusers to quote one line from any of my articles where I have advocated for the slaughter or mass murder of the Igbo or anyone else. This is a clear case of trying to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it and I leave those that are indulging in this pernicious and deplorable exercise and attempt to smear my name to the Living God. Let Him judge between us.

What my detractors fail to appreciate is that we must know our history and learn to live with it. If we do so we can avoid making the same mistakes that we once made in the past but if we don’t and we pretend that certain events never happened, we run the terrible risk of history repeating itself. We fought a terrible civil war in this country for three years in which Nigerians killed Nigerians and we lost two million lives. This happened partly because some were of the view that it was not important to appreciate and understand our differences and to accept the realities of our past — that Nigeria is a country that is made up of numerous nationalities each with its own culture, history, faith, worldview and heritage and that we must manage those differences very carefully.

It is because some of us love Nigeria and want her to remain together that we keep emphasising this profound and incontrovertible truism. You cannot force people to remain together and compel them to shed their primary constituency on the altar of a fully integrated Nigeria. I am a Yoruba man before being a Nigerian though both are important to me. Those that call me a tribalist are simply misguided. Perhaps, they do not know the meaning of the word or its true import. Those that know me well can confirm the fact that I am not a tribalist, a racist or a bigot and that I consider such sentiments as being unworthy of a man of class, good breeding and culture. I abhor hate and violence and I would be the last to incite others to hate their fellow Nigerians. I am however a firm believer in the propagation of truth and I appreciate the value and importance of history. Sadly many of our Igbo compatriots do not believe in that. For them, history consists of only one thing — how other Nigerians have always marginalised them and treated them badly.

If only they know their own history, where they are coming from, what they used to be, where they were 100 years ago and what their forefathers did to the rest of Nigeria over the last 80 years, they would know why they have always had such a hard time in this country. Sadly, because they don’t know any of these things, they cannot learn from them. And if they cannot learn from them, they will continue to make the same mistakes. That is why they can come to another man’s land and territory and call it their own and when we say ”no”, they tell us to shut up, call us tribalists and ask for our arrest.

I was not a tribalist when I wrote a tribute to Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu after he died or when I condemned the ’60’s pogroms that took place in the north in which their people were slaughtered. I was not a tribalist when I wrote against my good friend, Senator Ahmed Sani Yerima, and child marriage in the north. I was not a tribalist when I wrote essays defending the rights of the Igbo and every other Nigerian nationality to exercise their right of self-determination and leave Nigeria if that is what they wanted to do. I was not a tribalist when I consistently wrote that Nigeria must have a Sovereign National Conference where the rights and obligations of all its various nationalities would be clearly defined and agreed upon. I was not a tribalist when I fought and spoke up for the establishment of true federalism in Nigeria. I was not a tribalist when I employed more Igbo people as a Presidential spokesman and a Minister of the Federal Republic than even my own Yoruba. I was not a tribalist when I wrote an essay extolling the virtues of Igbo women and telling the world about their sudden and meteoric rise and how far they had gone in the power circles of this country in the last 10 years. I was not a tribalist when I condemned the bombing of predominantly Igbo and Catholic churches and the killing of the Igbo and others by Boko Haram in the north over the last three years.

I was not a tribalist when I risked my life by consistently writing against Boko Haram and urging our President to do a better job at protecting the lives of all Nigerians even though I live in the north. I was not a tribalist when I wrote against political Sharia in 2001 and I participated in protracted and sometimes acrimonious debates with Islamic fundamentalists and Islamists. I was not a tribalist when I was in NADECO and when we fought against military rule in Nigeria. I was not a tribalist when I fought for a President from the South-South or the South-East. I was not a tribalist when I wrote in defence of the igbo when it came to the abandoned property issue. I was not a tribalist when I wrote about the excesses of the Federal troops during the civil war. I was not a tribalist when I commended Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe and the virtues of the NCNC in Nigerian history. I was not a tribalist when I wrote that it was unfair and wrong for the Federal Government to leave the Igbo with only 20 pounds each after the civil war. I was not a tribalist when many years ago, I attended and gave my life to Christ in a church called TREM which was established by a great Nigerian of Igbo extraction by the name of Bishop Mike Okonkwo. I could go on and on.

Yet, now I am a tribalist because I spoke the truth about our history and who the Yoruba are.

These people have very short memories and anyone that does not agree with them all the time or that says one word against them at any point in time is labelled a tribalist for life. They called Chief Obafemi Awolowo a tribalist, an Igbo-hater, a genocidal maniac and a child-killer, simply because the man refused to join sides with them in the civil war; yet, they forgot that on one of the occasions that Awolowo ran for the Presidency, his running mate was from the East and not from the North. They called Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, Chief S.L. Akintola and Sir Ahmadu Bello Igbo-haters and tribalists simply because they saw through the Igbo agenda at a very early stage in our history and sadly they marked and killed them all for it. They called Gen. Yakubu Gowon a genocidal maniac, a child-killer, an Igbo-hater and a tribalist simply because he opposed Biafra, stood up to Ojukwu and insisted on keeping Nigeria together and even though he declared that there was ”no victor and no vanquished” at the end of the war.

[b]They have labelled the Yoruba as tribalists and Igbo-haters simply because we have refused to accept their claims to our land and territory and even though we were more charitable, hospitable, accommodating and generous to them than any other nationality in Nigeria after the civil war. The Yoruba, particularly, have been very kind and gentle with them. That is the problem. They see our liberal and accommodating nature as stupidity and weakness. That is why they always call the Yoruba cowards forgetting that the history of the Yoruba proves otherwise. It is now time to tell the truth. If speaking these bitter home truths and yearning and fighting for a better Nigeria where life would be better for all makes me a tribalist, then it is a toga that I will be happy to wear. I will not sit by quietly and allow my people, the Yoruba people of South-Western Nigeria, to be rubbished, insulted and cheated by anyone no matter how aggressive and given to extremities that anyone may be. I make and offer no apology for any of my views. My numerous assertions stand and they will stand till the end of time.[/b]

-Fani-Kayode is a former Minister of Aviation.




Hhehehehehe. This same man is now Chairman of GEJ campaign, while Peter Obi (former chairman of APGA) is now a regional campaign man for GEJ. I love GEJ

No surprise there

How can it be biased and false if it supports your old pensioner?

Paid goat, you are here again with your stupidity, its not my fault that you were not allowed to watch the debate since your own area of work is nairaland. I will advice you to stick to your mene posting instead of trying to derail every thread with your usual madness.

taharqa:
You dey mind them. shameless people.

They are not even sure of their own Presidential candidate. Lol. They don't trust him alone with another person in a real intellectual contest.

Not only is he an OLODO, an F9 in Maths General (am not sure Buhari knows the meaning of GDP talk less if more complex economic concepts in today's complicated world - remember his 'I will stabilize oil market' outburst recently), their is some rumours that he is even suffering from the beginning of amnesia.

So APC people go 'protect' am b4 I'm come fall toilet hand for national TV finish.
Foollish peiple

Boss13:
I just finished watching the debate on YouTube and I want to thank Ebuka and his team for a nice job.

I would be honest, maybe because of time constraint, both teams were unable to address fundamental concerns the way I wanted it (my own opinion). However, the APC team did a better job than the PDP team. In normal circumstances, I would be expecting the opposition to come out criticising and insulting but they showed maturity and explained clearly what they intend to do.

Team PDP/GEJ spent 90 percent of their allotted time insulting the presidential candidate of the APC and failed to tell Nigerians what PDP would do in the next 4 years. I really wanted to know how Jonathan would expand our dying economy and I did not hear anything but cows owned by Buhari and fertilizers, when we still spend trillions importing food in this country. I also was not satisfied with the explanation from the APC team, but they were clear on how they want to expand the economy and provide jobs. I like the alternative market scheme for sourcing finance for small business. That is a wonderful idea if implemented and also the asset based finance scheme for small farmers. I also liked how the PDP team were trashed when falsifying the percentage growth of agriculture to the gdp, which is actually 5 percent and N60 billion spent to buy phones for farmers (priority waste for me). The service sector has been the major contributor to the GDP.

The APC team came from a purview of facts and statistics and I am ashamed that team PDP approach their debate from a degoratory stand view, an approach I would have thought the APC would adopt.

Security was a sensitive discussion and team PDP admitted the president started off badly. The APC team reminded them that with a huge recurrent expenditure for security, you would never get it right. Team APC failed to explain how their presidential candidate would handle security. Even if Boko Haram is wiped off, there are still other insecurity issues in the country. Team PDP did not also elaborate any further. So I would take it that both team do not have clue on how to tackle insecurity.

In conclusion, team PDP found it so difficult to sell their product, which I considered to be bad product.

Spot on. Very true and unbiased.

BiHung:
stop saying "black guy". We are all of the black race, you can say fair guy or dark guy...unless you think the other guy is a white guy..but no, he is also black, he's just a fair guy (a fair black guy)

I can scientifically prove this to you if you are interested.

Sorry, was trying to say dark guy. You are right bro.

Bayswater:
Funny to see you have joined in on their stupidity

Keep flirting in your folly lol

You're just making the other guy go mad, I guess that was your intention.

Bayswater remains bayswater. I don't have any other account like dem eye4eye=ChinemeOkpan=manmountain=collynzo419=reborn1.

The list is endless. Why do you guys always think others are like you?

So I am those monikers you listed again, you now getting more desperate and foolish. Wonderful.

Sammiejokes:
So naa dat akala,ladoja go tell Ibadan people who to vote, you must be living in dream Island. We are talking of presidential race, If GEJ wins OyO make I travel out, maybe Congo.

Onatisi live in Ghana and will proudly tell you whats on ground in Nigeria. He works with Adedibu before his demise and had to escape to Ghana just to start afresh, he is always on nairaland telling people how PDP will win every state in Nigeria Funny people

Bayswater:
I'm just laughing at your folly. Very soon, you will call me Shekau. Ode gbogbo

Cry and insult till tomorrow, i will continue to laugh at you. The guy caught you red handed but you wont admit cos you just a normal PDP tout and lie for a living. Hehehehehehehe. Mr Job giver

ChinemeOkpan:
Boss you know now. He has been very careful but he was busted. He is not a happy man tonite

I dont know how one person can work in the power sector, banking and Oil industry all at the same time. He is a millionaire and yet spends 24 hours on NL with 5 monikers

Bayswater is a cursed PDP tout

Lol. Funny set of people, its either they boast of giving you jobs or accuse you of using multiple monikers. They live in Nigeria, have a job and will still be online 247 defending PDP. Very strange.....

Bayswater:
Do you APC roaches use your brains at all? Or is that you are being intentionally mischievous?
I'm sure you know we are two different people.
I can never be him.
ChinemeOkpan, you are warned!

Anyone that disagree with you must be APC. Learn to make use of your brain for once and stop posting like a tout, face your PDP praise singing online work and stop being aggressive.

tswitch:
Are you for real?

I have never posted any job advertorial on any site, only posts I have made is employability of some master degree courses over others in the education forum.

I talked about employability not employment -a thesaurus will guide you on the definitions.

Seriously which educational system churned out such egg heads?

How hard is it to understand the moniker of the other fellow is totally different from me and my interests.

[/s]


Stop crying.

ChinemeOkpan:
Bayswater a leopard cannot hide its spot. Once a PDP tout , always a hungry PDP urchin.

You called your Bayswater handle- tactless and vulgar! and now u have reverted to type.

You write like you have a relatively average educational background, what happened to you? Where did it all go wrong for you? As middle age has set in, you are becoming even more desperate.

We will move to your other handles soon.

Hope you notice the twsitch talking about employment again, both handles are always offering people jobs or talking about employment. This is strange and funny. Laughing hard.....

The albino guy is noisy and rude, they give you 5mins to advertise your candidate but you yarning dust and attacking Buhari. Pathetic. I give it to the black guy. He is more composed and bold, kudos to him.

IleIfe2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPxyOqRyvbo

Who is that black guy? he is bold and articulate, the other fair one keep throwing insult instead of telling us what his candidate will do. Same trait of PDP nairaland guys, cursing and insulting Buhari. I give it to the black guy, kudos to him.

Bayswater:
I am team GEJ and I have also said that.

I will vote:
GEJ for president (PDP)
Senator Rasheed Ladoja for Gov (Accord)
Senator Adeseun for Senate (PDP)
Tunde Adeagbo for House of Reps (Accord)

I guess the above makes me a party man, old man?

You can vote for anyone you want, but attacking people daily cos of there support for there party as well makes you a tout. If you are not promising to give people job cos of there support for there party, you will be accusing them of using several monikers. Grow up bro

Bayswater:
Of course you APC low lifers are the liars here, you tell lies for a living.

Would you please list any other moniker that I have on NL here please or forever remain silent.

You dont need to be abusive little man. A quick check on our past post will reveal the party man between us, i am not a party man but you are always here daily to defend PDP like they are your source of income. Cant stop laughing at you, grow up little boy.

ChinemeOkpan:
Bayswater is a chronic liar.

The guy is a shameless old man

Nairaland is a place where old men form youth, you will see someone that ran away from his country to squat in Ghana posting lies that he is on ground and knows the party that will win a state landslide. This is a place when hungry touts form rich men and billionaires, and even promise to get you job when you disagree with them, a jobless hungry man that run after Lagbus daily will tell you how he has 4 SUV and mansion in Magodo and Lekki. I dont take them serious, i just laugh and watch them feel good.

ChinemeOkpan:
Dont mind the PDP tout. He is on the same league as idumuose, onatisi

Honestly, the part that got me laughing was the "I have only 1 moniker" Some big lies on nairaland can make Satan repent, Chai.....

get2abbey:
Shameless PDP, same person they are celebrating once called GEJ useless and incompetent

Lolzzzz. Why is it that most of these peeps that criticize and bash GEJ in the past are now singing his praise, telling us he is the best since slice bread. Fani Kayode and co. Pathetic

Collynzo9:
Nna I don't blame people who don't support this man sha.
He baffles even his supporters at times.

You get it bro. He agreed he is a total failure and still begging them to vote for him, he should always think before talking. Too bad.

temitemi1:
The most important thing is that the project is on in chibok! GEJ till 2019!!!

You are a shameless dog without sense. Spits on your big head
