usibengate: That is why you Igbos will suffer, look how GEJ has been using raw dollars to bribe Yorubas and travelling to south West like say na there Asokoro villa dey, GMB the same, nobody send East because Una dey follow follow who dey power and them talk to much
So the dollars he is giving to Yoruba Obas is what will end you suffering? Dummy the dumb. The construction work taking place on South east Federal roads this period is enough to represent him, we don't need him to come and share dollars
APContherun: Listen Mr progress in governance can only be achieved through collaboration and partnership by all stakeholders. The Federal govt doesn't have all the money in the world so if a state govt can, nothing stops it from working on so called federal roads and claim refunds later. Many states like Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Taraba have done it and were reimbursed to the last kobo. The FG gets more allocation because it has more responsibilities than states.
The FG collects more than the 36 states put together, yet you want the states to repair FG roads. If the can't do it, they should hand over the roads to the states and revise the allocation sharing formula. I wonder if the FG that collects more money that all the states put together does not have the funds to repair the roads, where will the states get their won funds from? Stop giving excuses.
MzJackBaueress: . She didn't say the maltreatment of widows does not exist in other parts of the country. Sadly,the southeast has the highest record of such cases. South-south comes next. Sometimes you need to google informations to get educated about the plight of widows.
Goodnight
Give us the statistics and the research method to see. She said her husband will stop the suffering of widows in the South east, it means that it is either only in the south east that widows are "suffered" or the suffering of widows in other parts of the country isn't important.
MzJackBaueress: I don't know how you people reason. That your mother who is a widow is not suffering from her inlaws means others are not suffering too. If you do not know,statistics have stated that the Southeast have the highest cases of widow maltreatment in Nigeria. Please do not be ignorant about it because Aisha Buhari said it as an agenda to be treated. Let us face the fact instead of attacking the woman.
Sorry about your dad's death.
Please show us the statistics that says so and the method they used for the research, I have not seen a single Igbo widow that was "suffered" by her inlaws, though I don't doubt that one or two such cases might exist. [b]Is Aisha Buhari saying that no such thing exists in other parts of the country? why must she fight the one in the South east alone [/b]if not that her kind has been prejudiced? Remember the speech wasn't even made in the South east, we would have said it was meant for the local audience.
MzJackBaueress: Anyone who says Aisha Buhari is wrong in her comments about widowhood in Igbo land is living in self denial and ignorance.
What has Jonathan's wife done for the plight of widows and motherless children? Its not about how many women her husband appointed in her cabinet. How many pet projects and programmes for widows, poor women and children has she done just like her predecessors did? Absolutely nothing!
There are wicked people everywhere, that a few families treat widows poorly in the South east does not make it a South east thing. My Mom is a widow and no one treats her badly, she gets all the respect and pampering she can get. Aisha Buhari was only being tribalistic. Imagine the reaction if PEJ had said that. If she stops the ''suffering'' of widows in the South east, what about other parts of Nigeria? No such thing happens in those places?
egift: APC are discussing issues facing Nigerians and promising to tackle them, while PDP are into Chasing of Shadows and mocking anyone that mentions the problem we are facing.
When Patience Jonathan mentioned the issue of giving births indiscriminately without attributing it to any region, what did you guys do? You called it an insult to northerners. But Mrs Buhari clearly insulted Edos, the people of the South South and Igbos all in one speech and you want it ignored. You are a fool
It is very easy to talk about PERCEIVED issues in other regions, can someone provide me with a link where this woman talked about ending child marriages (which she is a victim of) in the north? How about little girls being used as suicide bombers? How about lack of girl child education and other female related problems in the north? Start from 4:45 and watch all the nonsense the woman spewed. Lalasticlala seun obinoscopy ishilove, confirm this and take it to the front page
Where does this woman get the rubbish things she says from? Who told her that widows are maltreated in the South east? If there happens to be one or 2 occurences of such in some families, how exactly is this a south eastern thing? I can't believe this is the same woman that people compare with Patience Jonathan. I have never seen mama peace make any tribally inclined insult in her speech before but this woman insulted almost every tribe in her speech in this video.
irokop: Spydoo, it's better they are slow and get it right than fast and do shabby work. Do you know how far niger bridge has gone? If pls we need some photo here, many thanks
Slow work doesn't translate to quality work. It is unseriousness.
stigman: You don't get it do you? A state can repair federal road and get their money back from federal government, some states are doing it, eg, enugu, akwa ibom etc
What about those who don't have the funds to even repair the road in the first place? Have they finished repairing state roads before venturing into federal roads? I insist that if FG wants state governments to start maintaing Federal roads, they should make it official and also cede part of their allocation to the state governments.
You are a useless pig. I saw you somewhere saying you weren't Igbo, then why say rubbish on behalf of Igbos? Is Mu'azu who said APC has no place in Igbo land not one of the Hausa Fulanis?
SeverusSnape: The igbos(... And most well meaning yorubas) right from time immemorial don't have that "slavish" tendencies, The Hausa/Fulani don't have monopoly for power.
And this is in response to a statement by one of those Hausa fulanis named Mu'azu? You are so senseless. Our opposition of Buhari has nothing to do with his tribe, it is about his records and past statements.
IGBOSON1: ^^^Isn't that the one Akpabio offered to do right up to Aba, and Orji was proving difficult when asked to take care of compensation issues at his end!?
The road is Jonathan's responsibility. If they want state governments to repair federal roads, they should hand over the roads to the states officially and also reverse the revenue sharing formula that sees FG getting 51%
Eliba: I am not myopic, it's my choice because it doesn't make sense driving the lastest car yet you have no house to call your own, if it's some wicked Landlord, they will top the price of the rented house when seeing the car in their compound, secondly having a car is an expenses and building a house is another form of wealth creation.
Make your own money and decide what to do with it, everything must not be done by a man, there are women who own houses today. 2 million naira cannot even by a plot of land in a developed part of a city. A man can buy a car for his moving around while saving for a house or building a house, nothing wrong with that. Most people prefer SUVs because of the bad roads not for showing off.
debeo: Your sister doesn't love the guy! If she does SUV or no SUV, rented apartment or not. She will run to the guys house!
When if the car is 2m nko?
Do you know it takes an average of 7m to build a small 2bd?
So the guy should go and steal or build 1 house in 7 years before he marries your sister because your sister is queen Elizabeth or Tracheal or Leah?
Or should he go and live in one bush in ikorodu with snakes and wild animals as neighbours and spend 5 hours in traffic everyday just to get home and be reducing his life span? Abegi
She never wan marry
Shioooo
When there are plenty golden fishes in the ocean
Your sister who wants to marry a landlord what has she amasses for herself?
Any special reasons why the guy should marry her minus the obvious ones?
This is the best comment on this thread. Contained all my thoughts plus more.
I'm a very regular poster in this section but am so worried.
I started looking for job since January and it appears God is about to give me one in NB when after all the interviews/tests/driving test I was called for medicals.
During Medicals, my BP rose to 155/81 and the doctor rechecked, this time even rising higher to 150/89. I did some other blood, urine, HIV and general body tests. Can I be disqualified because of this high blood pressure?
That is quite high, I must say. I have no idea what they might do. As for me, I wasn't happy with the colour of my urine sample, I should have drank water before then. I don't think it matters though.
bdidi: My brother this is politics where u need to score good points to win more votes.
Why is the gay movement in america a political thing?
Because they are increasing by the numbers and some of them are in high places that can influence decisions. (Gays) that is why they are been giving their space. Don't get me wrong. Not that I support prostitution, gay and the likes but in the political era, u need to be very diplomatic in order to win their votes well.
This isn't about prostitution per say, it is about the fact that she tribalised it.
2n2k: She is not fearless. She is tactless. As a leader, it is not everything you can safely say in the comfort of your sitting room that you come on television to vomit.
Take for example, when Igbos claim to be over 40% of Lagos population, will you regard Tinubu or Fashola as fearless if they reply them on rostrum the way some nairalanders do? But that doesn't mean they don't privately share the sentiments of those posters. Telling northerners that they born pikin throway is quite tactless for a politician even if true.
Yoruba people should stop lying and causing hatred in the country. Patience never mentioned northerners in her statement.
Mynd44: So you admit that the president's wife preaches religious and tribal hatred right?
Well I say no matter how much sense you make as long as you try to slip ethno-religious sentiments into it like PEJ has done, you might as well shove it down your throat
The only person who has insulted any tribe or religion so far is Mrs Buhari who insulted Edo people. Mama peace has never insulted any tribe even though you Yorubas who were correctly described as ''the problem with Nigeria'' by Sanusi, keep stoking the fire.
ajalaolanr: We are so trivial in Nigeria, we enjoy the absolute denial that we live in Amidst poverty and lack of infrastructure. The world is leaving us behind and we are laughing and joking about all and everything! this woman mentioned some of the scourge we face as a nation and we already turning it against her. Is there not a present trafficking of prostitutes from Nigeria to Europe, Edo girls mostly. The sooner we admit our problems and stop living in denial, the better!
But you guys were all over the place when the peaceful mama peace talked about the issue of lack of family planning in Nigeria, even though she didn't mention any state or tribe Mrs Buhari is a tribalist just like her husband.
