....and do you honestly think with this present governemnt, Nigeria's lot will get better?

Let's remove sentiment that is the hallmark of our existence as people...It's time to reward failure with a red card....and this present governemnt represent everything that is misgovernance.

maestroferddi:
Anybody taking your rantings here serious must be doing so at their own peril.

Thank God Nigeria has left behind those who thrive on our cultural and religious differences. Keep making vacuous prognostications while Nigeria overcomes her challenges and make giant strides.

ilugunboy:
APC will field Buahri and Fashola no matter the noise coming from PDP and it apologists about Muslim Muslim ticket.

I am a yoruba guy that doesn't profess to any of these two foolish and troublesome imported religions amd I will vote for change which APC represent over this present clueless and useless government of GEJ.

johnmartus:

With her current Nobel Laureate profile, GEJ may even rush out to meet them at the gate.

There are strong indications that former President Olusegun Obasanjo may have warned the All Progressives Congress not to field former Vice-President Abubakar Atiku as its flagbearer in the 2015 elections.
Obasanjo, during a recent visit by the APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to his residence in Abeokuta, was said to have warned the opposition party against fielding an “unclean vessel” as its presidential candidate in 2015.
An impeccable source, who was at the meeting but did not want his name mentioned, toldSaturday PUNCHthat last week’s visit by Tinubu to Obasanjo was meant to remind the former President of the need to support the APC to realise its ambition of winning next year’s presidential election.
The source said, “Chief Obasanjo appreciated Tinubu’s visit to his home, but specifically warned the APC to shut its door against “unclean vessel.”
“Chief Obasanjo reiterated his refusal to join the APC when Tinubu visited him in his Abeokuta residence, but warned the party to beware of Atiku.
“The former President appreciated the move by the APC to find out what he knew about two of the APC aspirants seeking the party’s presidential ticket. He was happy that the party consulted him over whom to pick as its presidential candidate. The former President gave detailed information on the APC presidential aspirants to Tinubu.”
But Atiku’s media aide, Garba Shehu, said he was not aware of such comments by Obasanjo against the former vice-president.
Shehu, who said that Atiku had consulted relevant stakeholders on his plan to become Nigeria’s president next year, said, “You can quote me; we are not in any way aware of such comment. What I can say is that the former vice-president has written a letter to his former boss, respectfully informing him of his wish to bid for the APC ticket.”
He also said that Atiku had sent similar letters to other Nigerians.
“These letters, which were personally signed, had gone to thousands of other Nigerians, including politicians, traditional and religious leaders as well as friendly-diplomatic missions.”
Senate President David Mark and Tinubu had last Friday held separate closed-door meetings with Obasanjo. Both Mark and the former Lagos State governor said the issues discussed at the meetings held at the Obasanjo’s Hilltop residence in Abeokuta centred on the state of the nation.
Tinubu had told journalists that he had discussion with Obasanjo on “some of his former boys” who would vie for elective positions in the 2015 general elections, especially the Presidency.
He had said, “We are here to pay homage to our former President and discuss with him because he has a number of influences in the political sphere.
“We need to talk to find out his thinking about Nigeria and the future. We need to seek his observation on some of his former boys who are running for Presidency in our party.”
Mark had also described Obasanjo as the father of the nation with a wealth of experience.
The Senate President had told journalists after the meeting that he came with his team, including Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan; the Peoples Democratic Party Women Leader, Mrs. Josephine Anenih; and Senator Polycarp Nwite, among others to discuss with the former President and raise some basic issues that affected both the party and the nation.
He said, “We discussed issues that will move Nigeria forward because Chief Obasanjo’s love for Nigeria is unquantifiable. So, we had a good discussion with him.”
Saturday PUNCHalso learnt that the former president would support APC in its bid to win next year’s presidential election.
Party sources said Obasanjo did not need to defect to the opposition party before he could support it to win the poll.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, told one of our correspondents on telephone on Thursday that the recent visit to Obasanjo by Tinubu was part of efforts to ensure that the opposition party got the former President’s support ahead of the poll.
Though the APC spokesperson said that he was not fully privy to the topic of discussion between Obasanjo and Tinubu, he said that if the party leader had gone to visit the former President, it was about how the former president could help the opposition party win in the 2015 general elections.
He said, “I am not fully aware of what they (Obasanjo and Tinubu) discussed. But of course, did you expect they would discuss church matters? Clearly if he went to visit Obasanjo, it had to be about politics and the party. What else would you expect them to talk about?
“That would not be the first time the party chieftains would meet with the former President. There is no secret about it. We want the party to win in next year’s elections. That is it.”
When asked whether the former President might defect to the APC to help the party achieve its goal, Mohammed said, “Obasanjo does not need to defect to the APC before he could help the party.
“The former President needs not declare openly or defect to our party before he can help us. Someone went to visit him, he was chased out; Asiwaju Tinubu went to visit him and he was entertained. What are you talking about? What does that tell you?”
Obasanjo had in 2013 embraced the APC when some of the party’s national leaders and governors elected on its platform visited him in Abeokuta.
The APC leaders then sought Obasanjo’s support for the party’s bid to win the forthcoming elections.
Among Obasanjo’s visitors during the December 2013 visit were Tinubu, former APC Interim National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande; former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari; former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Masari; former Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff; Senator Osita Isunazor; and Senator Bukola Saraki.
Tinubu, who hailed Obasanjo’s contributions to nation-building, had lamented that the country was divided more than ever.
Tinubu had added that the APC had resolved to rescue Nigeria and appealed to the former President to lead the mission.
He had said, “You have come out of tribulation and held the highest position in this country. We are here because of your courage. Nobody can say he has information more than you. You have surmounted a number of crises. Nigeria is divided more than before; to realise stable Nigeria, we want to encourage you to continue to speak the truth. We are resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria. We want you as navigator.”
But the Peoples Democratic Party, which apparently sensed that the APC might finally get Obasanjo’s full support, on Wednesday, made entreaties to beg the former President.
Obasanjo, a former Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, had refused to identify with the party following series of disagreements he had with President Goodluck Jonathan and the running of the party.
The former President even as the chairman of BoT of the party shunned the meetings of the various organs of the party, including its National Executive Committee.
But speaking while receiving former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, who defected from the Labour Party to the PDP in Abuja on Wednesday, the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’Azu, begged Obasanjo to return to the PDP.
Mu’azu, who was reacting to an earlier apology offered by Daniel, said every member of the party must beg the former President for forgiveness.
He described Obasanjo as a pragmatic leader, who he said hailed from a zone he claimed had produced the best educated people in the country.
Mu’azu said, “I want to join former Ogun State governor, I want to join my dear elder brother and indeed all the teeming members here to very sincerely apologise to our leader, to ourbaba,mybaba,General, President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to forgive us.
“We cannot continue. I know he has been very prayerful. In the Villa, I know he used to pray every morning. Very early, 5:30 to 6am, he is praying.
“And I know he keeps on praying all the time. As we say in our Lord’s Prayer: ‘Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who trespass against us’; Baba, you have to forgive us. I beg you in the name of the Almighty God, so that you too can be forgiven. We are your children. We are making mistakes, we have made mistakes, we have apologised.
“We will not agree even if you want to throw the baby away with the bath water, the baby will not go without you.
“So, please baba, we apologise. Come and lead us. Even the President (Goodluck Jonathan) is waiting for you. Come and lead us. You are our leader, we appreciate you, we thank you for your leadership.”

So there is nothing like the Igbo-Party Scam he sold for years. It has always been scheme to delude Umu Igbo and protect his interest and greed.

I bet his annoyance over his name existing on the list is because it is not coming from Forbes. He pretty much would've celebrated it with a banquet had Forbes been behind the publication.

Or maybe, just maybe, he would rather not be on such a list at all if he isn't sitting on the Number One spot!!

What I sense here: #Envy.

We shut and open the market at will. It is our land, we can do whatever we like with them.

Powerful 10% lording it over useless 110% -- 8th wonder of the world.

superstar1:
The write-up did not say the market will be closed... and I am not surprised you did not post the source of this news as the headline might not even be the same...

Your desperation to find something to gloat about over the Igbos, the same desperation your grandpa Awo had) is what made you post an article that indicates renovation of a market and falsely comment on it to give an impression of its closure...
just in case other posters haven't busted this guy yet... y'all should see the original title.. it has no mention of closure in it or in the body...:

Lol. You wish? No wonder your elders are begging for political appointment.

Just keep working like soldier ants for us, while our economy keeps booming and yours remains at zilch level.

pelvicky:
Dats APC for you....always blocking the hope of common man..

Vote out APC come 2015.

olatomiwa:
the same way that you will vote a Yoruba person as deputy governor in Imo and Anambra. Your sense of entitlement is unprecedented. If you are not satisfied, go back home and build your states. Quit complaining, at least the Yorubas are not killing you like the Fulanis and the Hausas.

Steadmann:
You still don't get it Bro.

These people are businessmen, it's all about buying and selling.

If all the markatars should relocate to Owerri or any part of SE, who's going to buy the goods/wares when almost everyone is into trading?

Another factor is the PPP.

And,

We All Know South West Is The Headquarters Of Happenings In Nigeria Hence The Highest PPP.

Don't worry Bro, they shall come back home tipatipa when you get your Biafra Republic and we get The Oduduwa Republic.

Life Is Good,

Cheers.

Phaggot, stop quoting the girl. She doesn't swim the pit latrine with you primeval bums.

And if you ever quote her again, I'll find you and blow your malnourished and bummy fvcked face off. And I mean it.

upko:
See Goat with false ego trying to feel important and giving lengthy speech about roots when he doesn't even have one.

Try harder do something reasonable like commiting suicide so you can be remembered by the British community at least that would make you important.
To a true Nigerian like myself you are as worthless as a Dick on a priest.
Take your lengthy sermons on roots to your grave.

Nigeria does not even need proper arssholzz such as your self to incite baseless tribal wars all the time.

I am a NIgerian!! Who are you??

I bet you can't even give me that answer in a split second, because you don't even know

SirShymex:
Unremarkable, you have been smacked and thoroughly whooped, go take a seat.


The 50 years old thing is boring now. My mum is your Igbo aunt, babayosisi's age bracket lool.

I intellectually school stark illiterates like you for a living, that is what I do. And by the time I turn 30, I shall be out there to rape you bums. The project is in the planning stage.

Missy89:
play your tribal games with someone else

Funny, yoruba e-warriors avoided this thread, cos it represent what their are in real life

upko:
The funny thing is the retarddd shymexx shymess, doesn't even have an identity. A second class citizen who obviously is suffering from severe inferiority complex.
Calling everybody stark illiterate when infact I would rather die an illiterate than have a half useless brain as his.
Check all his previous post, you would understand that he has chronic mental issues relating to abuse of illegal substances, always fantasizing and gloating about his imaginary brain.
It must really hurt to be shymexx


Ask him what he has contributed to life, I'm sure the answer would be NOTHING, and yet he calls himself a literate.
Literate illiterate


Sometimes you hear him bash our military and country, you would feel like he personifies the word FOOLISH!! Which by the way I think he does.

Regardless of the amount of education a Foo!! Recieves he would always remain a FOO!!! I just pray he isn't up to 40yrs yet.

Missy89:
In your pot belly. Just get a sharp knife and cut yourself open

lagcity:
Title is misleading. There is no where which says the General ran into the bush. Some soldiers ran away after running out of ammo, which I think is the sensible thing to do if you have r5tards as commanders. You bigots cant gloat over this.

ikweremilitant:
the only place yorubas show bravery is on nairaland.gen.obj ran away frm the frontline,generals adisa nd olarewaju kneeling down befor a major,and nw a yoruba general screeming "ori iya mi o" frm the bush,instead of shouting orders.yorubas runing since 1860.

[size=30]Big goat...foolishhhh old bastardick cow. Your mother is the slut.
Empty brain you always come here to claim diasporan. Big goat
You hate our military
You hate our country
You hate our president

You hate anybody that says the truth

I'm very sure you are much older than me, but you are a big fooooooool!!
