careytommy: perhaps the locals are weaklings or lack wisdom.
i remember enugu giving them triple-combo when they attempted rubbish and cross river people chase them out 'back-to-sender' style sometime back.

Arysexy: Guess after the merger ACN will be dead and d new party will take over d SW? dat is a plus for PDP to reclaim SW, rmbr how AD went under after they merged with APP later turned ANPP?

muktar mtt: Shut d Bleep up funk ass,yes dey r dry cos dey didn't steal ur money

sbeezy8: wont work cpc is a funny party. only way is if ACN is the main party. With no buhari as president and ACN's pick as to who is presidential candidates.

CPC is looking very dry and desperate

djon78: read my post, I said that if soludo is guilty he should face the music severly, why I was saying Igbo bashing was the kind of nasty and general comments u guys were now making abt Igbos, which was more of bigotry.

concerning the roads we are all demanding for better infrastructure to live a better life. once the right basic infrastructure( roads, railway, power, water) is in place economic growth directly increases. thats why I was impressed with the progress I saw when I was home 4 the yuletide, and mind u once these basic amenities are at home many of us will not need to live in other regions cos most of our buisnesses will be repatriated home, like once there is steady electricity I personally will be puting into place manufacturing plant down home to produce and export outside, thats why Goodluck ensuring steady electricity b4 2015 will be a open up a lot of things economically.

aribisala0: Exactly what did he do well as CBN governor. During OBJ's regime there ws a huge propaganda machine to raise the profile of Soludo,Rufai,Iweala and Ribadu all designed to lend some Seal or imprimatur of competence/integrity to OBJ and his regime. Their "achievements" are debatable and in my opinion fictional. Soludo specifically failed to detect wholesale theft of depositors funds in our major banks.I do not think we should forget this quickly as this is the most fundamental function of regulation. The Ibori/Wilbros scandal is another one and then in 2009 he came out to say the government was capable of defending the naira completey denying the extent of our woes. What we must learn from that era is t be wary of hype and "celebrity" goverment functionaries.

What really are the TANGIBLES from his time in office??

My issue here is a simple one; if he has done wrong let him face the music.Those who try to confound issues by introducing his Igbo origins insult us all. People from major ethnic groups have gone down.Yes people from major ethnic groups appear to have escaped in what seems like selective justice but again Igbos have not been left out either and there are glaring examples of this. To the best of my knowledge this is the first time we are hearing of governors from one political zone trying to intervene in a corruption prosecution.I hope it is untrue because it really is an insult to the rest of us and shows a failure to learn from history.

This person in Mexico that is among the richest in the world he is also into telecommunication business. If you take Bill Gates, he is into computer business.”

Abagworo: There is no reason for any individual to be given OPL in the Niger Delta. It should have been given to communities and assisted by government. That way nobody will be super rich and Niger Deltans will reap more as the proceeds will be shared among all citizens of the community.

This woman is poor and just like Danjuma and his cohorts is sitting on the blood of Niger Deltans in particular and Nigerians at large.

Eziachi: If he did, why throw Aburi accord into the Lagoon and advised very young and in-experience Gowon against it?

Real-Mccoy:
Dude stock market is used to measure an economy growth? Are you talking about the naija stock market that is collapsed? I am not saying Yorubas are not in corporate finance, we are talking of enterpreneurship and liquid cash. I have visited all states in Yoruba land, have friends from all region.Where have you visited in the east? Yorubas live in Port Harcourt,Onitsha and Enugu,what is your point? Lagos used to be the capital of Nigeria and that was why it attracted people of all works of life, same way as Abuja, what is your point here? Wall street is located in New York yet it is not the richest state in USA.

Sky Blue: Listening to Sardauna's northenisation policy of the civil service in the north was a tad shocking. 'If we can't get a northerner to fill the post on a permanent basis we'll try and get a white man on contract, if we can't get a white man on contract, THEN, we'll consider other Nigerians'.

Seems to me like the beginings of quota system and federal character. I just wonder why some of these characters are so romanticised in Nigerian history.

Real-Mccoy:
Ogoni declared their independence, this same POW came out here cursing yet they turn around to say they are not parasites.Internationally celebratred entertainment companies like Irokotv is owned by an Igbo boy, Bellanaija is owned by an Igbo girl, Linda Ikeja's blog owned by an igbo woman,these companies employed Yorubas without ethnic bias and others even a member of the psquare's group have a Yoruba baby mama, why would some one think we don't like you guys? Achebe's memo, he criticised all parties involved in the war and was not selective in judgement yet Ofenmanu thought they should be left off the hook?

Chimanet: cos u can meet up with the competition.
com r u speaking for northerners? r u now thier brothers?

Real-Mccoy:
Oluwole professor, stop with the ignorance. I bet the only time you encounter easterners are when you block Ore road at night to rape and rob traders and students. Onitsha main market,Aba ariara market and Nnewi market revenue alone can feed your entire region. I choosed to stay on topic but you little hamsters are trying to divert reality. Awo died a frustrating leader, he was not trusted by his own tribesmen why are you fighting for him? What is the difference between you and Boko Haram? June 12 came to pass after much ranting and you are here talking about combat? You must be playing lot of video games

Chimanet: these countries have than igos than nigeria yorubas doing busness dia

Chimanet: cos an average yoruba that is searching for greener pastures cant hussle enuf money for his house rent in the east. anyway our neigbour in a onitsha is a yoruba man

bashr8: ignoramus have you been to the south east? go and ask the non igbos living there including the yorubas what is in store for them .

There are tons of
treatises that talk about how the Igbo were
wonderfully integrated into Nigeria. Well, I have
news for them: the Igbo were not and continue not to be reintegrated into Nigeria, one of the
main reasons for the country’s continued
backwardness, in my estimation.

Chimanet: your grandfathers connived with housa not to give our region infastructures so that thier will be a fair ground economically in his own region, now we are in lagos and abuja doing better than the so called indigines that r waiting for sumbody to spoone feed them with all their so called education

Chimanet: Abi una wan ban us from coming to lagos to turn sum of ur brothers our houseboys? lollll, i love 1 nigeria, is fun

bashr8: we make it everywhere igboland ,yorubaland, hausaland, it comes with being at the top of the food chain.
