Politics of violence made in south west copied from the violent north.
I can see that Yoruba people are copieying the violent nature of the awusa/fulani people.

Haba Bros... undecided

Must you say this?... Though I know the north is violent, but don't generalize about the Yorubas.

APC is just looking for trouble, try anything and face the wrath of the people of Ekiti.

You must be a joker to think Achebe tops in Africa. A novelist who only wrote 5 novels and couldn't even replicate his masterpiece. Even that Things Fall Apart is overrated. He was lucky to have published the book at the time he did. If you have read the Famished Road or Sello Duiker's Hidden Star, then you would know that TFA is overrated.

Chinua Achebe is Nigeria's greatest writer and probably Africa's, Go figure...
Do you know what it means for your book to be translated into 70 languages huh

.... You must be joking for calling things fall apart an overrated book.

hansad:
Exploiting oil in Chad Basin is not bad, but is it Nigeria's immediate priority? Is that part of Buhari's election promise which made the Sai Buharis of NL chant?

Watch out, any day Buhari gets sworn in as president, most of these cowards of Sai Buhari on NL shall disappear because of press and information censorship.

When the Buhari clan ruled Nigeria for decades, akara and vegetable sellers in Togo, Benin Republic and Ghana, etc., were using mobile phones, but Nigerians in an oil rich country had none. Nigerians were purposely held incommunicado.

That's just my fear, It's a matter of days, Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. But I still believe Jonathan is the best president so far, as far as press freedom and human rights are concerned.
