Bollinger:
I don't know about them being petty, but one thing i do know is, this is how the politics of America revolves historically. Republicans destroy the economy and Democrats always come back to fix it. That's how it has always been.

I have to agree with your position, judging from historical events in the US.
However, it is yet to happen with Donald Trump. At least, I can tell that the American economy currently has good performance indicators.

The Republican party is only trying to call a dog a bad name in order to slaughter it. This budget deadlock has more political undertone than national interest.

I have to say too that Trump is not helping matters because he is not building bridges.....

Bollinger:
Let me enlighten you on what Trump has managed to achieve. He has helped galvanize lazy democrats to wake up in regards to voting. Look at the last 4 special elections. Democrats won in every state that Trump won in 2016. 2018 is going to be a landslide for the democrats.

It is largely why the American democratic experiment is very advanced.

Leaders are held accountable for errors or omissions by paying the consequences their actions generate.
Because of the political naivety of Trump, democrats are now pretending to be nice guys, a posture that will be tested when they get a shot at the White House again.

However, I still maintain that Democrats are petty....

Trump will frustrate them whether they clap front or forward...
Petty Democrats

Lajet:
Ijaw people keep on deceiving themselves we Nigeria's are aware that ijaw land starts and ends in Bayelsa state. Ijaw are settler in Rivers state, Edo, Delta and Ondo State, so the should stop this nonsense that Ijaw monarchs from 6 states meet.
Why the land grabbers not put Ndoki in Abia state as the usually claimed only on internet to make it 7 ijaws state. the have added Akwa ibom state I hope Akwa ibom people should call this people to order in time before they will take their land grabbing madness to another level. Can they tell us the name of the Monarchs from Akwa ibom state that attended the meeting Ijaw have started their propaganda again.

You are a misguided commentator or perhaps, your opinion is laced and forged in hatred and jealousy. Please, abandon this your prehistoric orientation.

Your comment make you appear as if you are an indigene of the above mentioned Six States.
My brother, relax your nerves and learn just in case you're ignorant of the Ijaws in Akwa Ibom. No matter how hard you and your likes try to paint the Ijaw nation bad like the Governor opined, your lies will never last because truth will tear through with time.

How old are you sef, historian? What is your competence level in history? How good is your academic competence and exposure? Na U know say Ijaw land start and end for Bayelsa.....warp reasoning.

Your opinion of the Ijaws is inconsequential, it is irrelevant in modern day civilization.

Ijaws will continue to play the Big Brother role in the Niger Delta region needed to advance and protect the region, including you.

Before I go, go start your history class with the people of Ibeno in Akwa Ibom.
Shalom

What's up with politicians and begging people to contest election?

A right thinking man that knows what he is doing don't need anybody to tell him to contest election.
It is either Buhari is not right thinking or Okorocha and his friends are trying to be stupid.

ideology:
By now, anyone who thinks that Nigeria cannot be islamized should wake up.


2016 - El Rufai paid herdsmen to stop killing in southern Kaduna.
2017 - Herdsmen Extended killing to SE, SW & SS
2018 - Herdsmen asking for colonies
2025 - Herdmen will kill the original owners of the land or send them away and nothing will happen
2026 - If you must dwell with herdsmen, you must obey their laws, (sharia inclusive)
2027 - Herdsmen reports to Caliphate, by now Caliphate would have established colonies across Nigeria.

All the countries that are Muslim countries today, check their history how it all began.
2017 was a turning point, they tried a lot including removing CRK and forcing all students to study Islamic course.

U guys have not seen anything.

I pity the youths like collecting peanuts from politicians and dancing along

Kwara, Benue, Kogi, Nasawara, Plateau & Taraba are originally and geographically mid-belt region

But they have gradually turned Northern states

Let's keep watching

Very true

He is laughing because of the man's accent

What a specious laugh!
Politicians will always pretend around their Oga to make them feel good.

If it were to be Kim Jung Un, the man will laugh more than this......rubbish post

Daxn:
But you're paying 4k sir.

4K that he does not pay regularly.
He is still owing me three months....

Sluggish Governor

Madam, these your breasts will not allow you to do that.....don't lie

Extra judicial killing.
It is a good thing that he died for the crimes he committed but then, breaking the law to enforce the law is a criminal offence too.

Nigeria is indeed a lawless country, and funny enough most Nigerians love it that way...

Atlanticfire:
"If you argue the ownership of the moon with the Itsekiri in a court of law, the Itsekiri will produce the receipt with which they bought the moon from God"........ Okumagba.

Argueing land with the Itsekiris in a law court is almost useless, they have cunningly gotten court rulings that give most Ijaw lands to them even without the knowledge of the Ijaws.

The Itsekiris have been stealing Ijaw lands for a very long time.

The Ijaws don't even bother going to court anymore against the Itsekiris to argue land cases, They just mount AK-47 and anti aircraft guns and tell the Itsekiris to dare go to thier land.

The Itsekiri nation is known to suffer from Inferiority Complex. This charade of an article is one among the many shenanigans of the Itsekiri nation to curry public sympathy.

History is there to remind all of us that Great men, and Great Nations only prove their worth through their actions. As long as the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is concerned, the Ijaw nation have shown times without number that we are a great nation through our actions, despite our many adversaries.

They call them fishermen, tenants, aliens, herdsmen of the South etc yet no one has been able to box the Ijaw nation to a corner.

Height is not attained in a day, and once it is acquired, it hardly goes away when consciously maintained.
The Itsekiri nation ought to know by now that the Ijaw nation is their bigger brother and will continue to play that role despite their litany of provocations. They instigated the Warri crisis with their One Kobo Olu of Ode Itsekiri, but learnt a bitter lesson. That event did not deter the Ijaw nation from extending their hand of fellowship to their belligerent neighbour.

Freedom is not shared, rather it is taken. The Itsekiri should bear that in mind and work towards it, rather than continue to whine like a child whose lollipop was snatched by an inconsiderate man.

Spartacus, the Thracian warrior once said, those who place heel on the throat of liberty shall fall to the cry for freedom.
If the Itsekiri nation so much love the Yorubas or the Bini people, they can as well move their belongings to Oyo state and occupy there. I am sure, the forest between Iseyin and Eruwa/Igbo Ora in Oyo state is enough to contain them.

Finally, to the OP, if you want to discuss about Okerenkoko, spell it correctly. Because Okerenghigo is not known to the Ijaw nation.

God bless the Ijaw nation, and all those that wish them well....

Doyin, the loose cannon...

Nigeria may never get well judging from the wicked nature of our elites.
What amazes me is how the weak and vulnerable still fight to protect the interests of these sons of the devil.

They are even here.....

This man phony character did not go with 2017?

Anyways, Nigeria now is the Living versus the Dead.
Current Score: Dead 8: Living 0

Promise delivered indeed.
Buhari even with his deaf ear will lose sleep over this.

OP, thank you very much for pointing it out. But the problem is that those that are ready and willing to fight get maimed in the process, and the same people they fight for are the first to cast aspersions on them.

You will hear statements like, the guy na mumu o; na only him the thing touch? Abi na hin like naijeria pass? E don tay wey naijeria spoil etc.
OP, you see, we are not only cowardly in nature but also stupid in some regard....

The above is aside the role played by religion and ethnicity.....this is our son, that is our brother, a threat to this individual is a threat to our......nation.
I salute the Iranian people for standing up in the face of glaring evidence that they may get killed as the days go by, yet they are not deferred.

A Nigerian is always ready to sit on his butt, lie on his abdomen, go on his knees to complain as long as you don't take his phone away....

The Bishop is wrong. This statement clearly shows he is not in touch with modern democratic tradition.

Buhari is the symbol and embodiment of our sovereignty as a nation, and as such is responsible for whatever that occur during his reign.

Mr. Bishop, is there anywhere all citizens do their jobs well? If there is, then there is no need for government. Even Bishop does not do his job well that is why he prays for forgiveness of his sins.

Bishop, if Buhari is kidnapped or assassinated in a foreign country, it is the whole of Nigeria that will go to war with that country, so why say we should not blame him for our predicament.
I recommend POL 111 for Bishop

It is just a belief.
The candle is to light up your way into the new year. Back then in my village, people light candles even on graves.... The sight of the candles is beautiful though

t00dugged:
oga, compliments of the season

Compliments of the season
May the coming year favour you....

TheHistorian:
These ladies weren't ashamed to bare their boobs yet the creator of this thread feels it is morality-appropriate to censor the pictures. . .

Lol....I don't even understand why they do it. This is suppose to be an adult site.
I stand to be corrected though.

Good
This thing sweet me well....lolz

I am happy that it did not take long for APC as a party to show its special brand of wickedness, stupidity, and unbridled vacuity.

APC has been demystified with their actions, but the length and height of stupidity is a Mystery again.
No wonder Gov. Yahya Bello is what he is. His Chief of Staff is very uncouth, ill mannered, bad tempered, uncivilized with prehistoric orientation that is dangerous to modern democratic culture.

Kogites go see pepper mixed with aboniki and loco.
How some people believed former members of a party they strongly despise (PDP) will perform magic is something to study....

Someone up there even suggested his account is hacked.....lol, someone should wake him up

surgical:
If nigerians ever freely elect this man again it means one thing they don't deserve good life, all other aspirants should aim at doing worse than buhari to be in contention, its seems the more ridiculous the better, those in search of better life provided by good governance better start looking outside the country if that happens because all hope would be lost.

My brother, the bold is not even enough. The deserve to live all their days in misery....

dodelight:
And you dare say that? Yes it's obvious, but in a decent clime, the friend wouldn't be left out of the news.

My brother, it is the same reason some people don't care whether Yusuf lives or dies.
To them, what is happening to the first family is what an average Nigerian see on daily basis.

All those that died as a result of the unending mistakes of this present administration will always wish for the same fate to befall the man that is responsible.

I pray for the recovery of the other bike man....

This man is a disgrace to Professorship.

A supposed religious organization fighting to represent the media arm of a government.
No matter his likes try to colour the truth, most Nigerians know better now, except for himself and the social media automated mumus.

Is it Nigerians that forced the government to appoint dead people?
Is it Nigerians that created the present hunger, starvation, hopelessness, scarcity of virtually everything that is currently ravaging the country?
This man is very lucky that like myself, he is talking from the comfort of his home. If not, angry Nigerians would have made an end of year blow festival with his body.

Loose cannon of a professor. The calamities we face as individuals, and as a nation, shall never avoid the dwelling place of all those that lock their conscience in a box to add more salt to injuries.....

One of the most corrupt agencies of Government

Incredible transformation

ernieboy:
what are u saying? I thought I was conversing with an intelligent individual, it is obvious u don't have the mental capacity to engage in an objective discourse. FYI I am not Igbo.

I am surprised you didn't discover earlier than now that BOY is not amenable to reason.

People like him creep into every thread to display their prehistoric orientation and crass ignorance to the full view of the general public.

NgeneUkwenu:
From GEJ Till 2019 To Nnamdi KANU To Biafra Or Death And Now Atiku For Life...

Who Knows What They Would Come With In 2019, After Buhari Is Sworn In For His Second Term..

Bunch of Useless Never-Do-Wells!

Those that really do well don't visit nairaland on daily basis to say irrelevant things.
I am sure you know where that places you.....

NaijaElba:
because they dont like been told the truth....they are not brilliant enough to read political moves and permutations....reason they are always been left out at the end. All they are good at is making silly noise online. useless set of unintelligent IPOBs. So if PDP field failure ATIKU AND FAYOSE who will they vote for again? hehehehehehehe.......the game is just starting jere.....The reasonable people here on NL let 's keep our fingers crossed and see how things unfold. I know year 2018 apart from been world cup year will be really interesting.

My brother, you talk as if you are the Man that Knows Tomorrow.
Your earlier submission is just a conjecture like every other writer on this topic, so in my opinion that denies you the right to describe those that gave varied opinion as useless and unintelligent.

This is a public forum so we should not melt down when making presentations.
What you think you know may turn out to be the converse of the truth, after all, 2019 is still in the distant future, and believe me, so many things are yet to come to light.
Good evening

bright007:

Stop typing from your anus and do some research . I know you were not born when all this happened but Google is your friend, take your time and ask it some questions.


The matter went through the High Court of Justice and Federal Court of Appeal in Benin and the Supreme Court -in Lagos.

The Benins secured victory all the way. The following suit numbers are material evidences to buttress our claim to the land at Gelegele and environs

1. High Court of Justice, Benin Judgment delivered on the 22nd December 1978 by .Justice. Ekeruche J in Suit No. B/I44/1970.

2. Federal Court of Appeal judgment delivered on the 16th December1981 by Abdul Ganiy Olatunji· Agbaja and 2 others in Suit No. FCA/B/82/80.

3. Supreme Court unanimous Judgment delivered on the 19th ‘August 1983 by Muhamedu Lawai Uwais, former Chief Justice of the Federation and 4 others in Suit No. SC.131/1982"

Have you not asked yourself why your chiefs buy land from the natives of Gelegele?
My friend, there is no judgment that gave the entire area to Bini

bright007:
According to land grabbers like you, the judgement is parochial.

Three times you guys went to court over ownership of Gelegele and three times you were defeated.
Unfortunately, many of you can only come online chest-beating and play drums of war. After that, you go back into your hole and cool off .

At the moment, Gelegele is part and parcel of Benin Kingdom and everything be it man-made resources or natural resources in that land , the royalties due to the Oba of Benin gets to him whether you lots like it or not.

Your response shows you are not well informed, and you don't have regard for decorum and decency.
The first case was decided in favor of the Ijaws until your people, particularly the Oba arm twisted the judgment of the Appeal court and subsequent judgments.

@bold, what hole are you referring to? Who is beating drums of war? Or is it that you have selective understanding? You don't have to sound uncouth to drive home your point.

Let me add, Bini people have a proclivity for reaping what they did not sow

Jesse01:
d lies u tell urself ijaws can also be found in rivers state, Akwa ibom, Ondo just to mention a few keep living in ur lies

You don't respond to individuals that are shameless in their line of thought.

History is there to tell our story, it is sheer hypocrisy that is instigating this latest move by the Bini people. Why would a king fight to rule people that are not his subjects, if not for political and economic reasons?
The beautiful part is that, the Ijaw nation is too big and too strategic for the Bini people to handle or box to a corner.
