SILAKABUWA:
RECENT INVESTIGATION by Nigerian SSS after they arrested BOKO HARAM SHOWS BOKO HARAM RECIEVES $100,000 from an American Bank and the bank denied it and claimed BOKO used Yahoo to dupe them,

Oh please, spare us the nonesense. The sponsors are right there in the north

Can you guys behave and act your age for once and focus on the topic. Why always turn topics to cyber tribal battles?

[quote author=Ejiné link=topic=836296.msg9872711#msg9872711 date=1325372887]Nope. But when you have a shaky 83 year old man who would rather spend the state's monthly allocation on Viagra; as opposed to actually taking advantage of Ebonyi's vast agricultural, eco-friendly, Obudu-like landscapes, what more should you expect?[/quote]The recent FG proposed ban on importation of rice, may have ignited this as people position themselves to harness the Abakiliki Rice which the land in that area produces well.

Why always turn these sad issues into another chance at cyber tribal warfare? Aint you guys tired or ashamed? Goodness

Its on Sky News as well.

The Ezza and Ezillo communities have been locked in a land tussle for a very long time now. The fight rears its head once in a while. I guess the agitation and anger from all the killings going on in the North have reminded them of their age long tussle and they have renewed killing one another. Everyone has gone mad.

People are warning those travelling to be aware of that area as they are known to attack anyone and turn innocents to scapegoats.

Jonathan will soon make me give up on him . Such fanatics are left to say what they like and get away with it? If Jonathan is afraid to tackle these northern elements ( I have said 20% of the blame for lack of security is on him while the rest is on the perpetrators) he should cal for a division. I wont mind allowing him finish his term in a southern Nigeria.

They keep mocking the Nation with impunity. They are so enraged that they will sacrifice the Nation and the souls therein for their political ambitions

Our hate for this present government has prevented us from seeing our real enemies. These people know where the problem is coming from. Its evident from all their comments and posturing. The heavens will requite the blood of the innocent at their hands.

This CPC people are a terrible and wicked people. There, I have said it.

They ignited this madness in the first place immediately after the elections with their unguarded comments. Bakare was not left out as he declared that their supporters will go with matches in one hand and fuel on the other hand. Now after the fires have been ignited, they are not worried about the lives that have been lost and the innocent blood shed. All they are thinking about is their political ambitions.
These people dont love anyone but themselves. Just go to Elrufai's twitter page and see for yourself. He (elrufai) already cursed the government about a month ago for not 'negotiating' with mass murderers like Boko Haram.

We have Elrufai making all manner of inciting comments on Twitter and cursing everyone, now this.

'Reward Boko Haram'

Opposition parties and in particular those in the north, such as the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), say the government is underestimating the amount of support Boko Haram has among the population.

“
Why didn't the president crush the Niger Deltans? That's a questions a lot of people in this part of the country are asking”

CPC national secretary Bubu Galadima said many people in the north felt marginalized and excluded from wealth and opportunity.

"The people are sympathetic to certain principles and ideas," he told the BBC.

"If people feel they are being denied anything or an injustice is being meted out to them then there is a likelihood that they will take the law into their own hands and help themselves."

Mr Galadima, who is from near Damaturu, where last week's attack took place, raised the case of the former militants from the oil-rich Niger Delta who were given generous financial packages from the government to keep them out of trouble.

"Why didn't the president crush the Niger Deltans? That's a questions a lot of people in this part of the country are asking," he said.

"Instead they are being rewarded for the economic destruction they brought Nigeria. Why can't the same be true for Boko Haram?"[/b]


Is this a proper thing for this man to say?

kingoflag:
And in your heart of hearts, devoid of any sort of hatred and unnecessary bigotry, you real believe GEJ invited Buhari on-board to come assist in Govt?!

Yes, a number of times. Even at the heat of the problems after the elections(Was reported in the public domain). Buhari told anyone who cared to listen taht he would not have anything to do with this government.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm link=topic=834493.msg9854969#msg9854969 date=1325150011]What will cost GEJ to bring Buhari on board? Even as mere anti-corruption lord? Since Nigerians have rejected him as a president?[/quote]And you think he has not reached out to him a number of times before? Its a typical Nigerian attitude. He can only contribute if/when he is President

[quote author=A-ZeD link=topic=834816.msg9862565#msg9862565 date=1325244826]rolchi,
nobody is against subsidy per se,  the opponents of subsidy removal are just saying removing subsidy does not solve the problems which got us here in the first place![/quote]At least you agree there is a problem. That they are saying they want to address that major problem is a step forward.

I would rather they used even 50% of the subsidy money in other projects in the Nation than have a handfull of people take it all.

lol, am lookinng at the replies here and am smiling inside. Some weeks back, there was a *rumour* that Federal government was planning to ban Okada as means of transport and I remember the venom , attacks, outrage that followed(Remember it was only a rumour).

But here we see someone else doing the same thing(Not a rumour this time) , and everyone is glowing with praise and support.

People! Maintain a just scale in judgement at all times. The same measure you use for one person ,you should apply to the next person.

Bias and prejudice abound everywhere on Nairaland.

oyb:
actually, you are the one who is confused - if you bother to read through the thread you will see the whole issue has been thorougly analyzed

gej is a failure, but the people in line behind him - sambo, david mark, tambulawal are even worse

sambo to gej is gej to tardua

from frying pan to fire to hades

Evil Brain:
Personally I don't think removing Jonathan will solve our problem because those who will replace him are likely to be the same or worse. I think the best strategy is one of obstructionism.

That means we block every thing Jonathan tries to do. We frustrate his every move. The NLC and TUC seem to be doing reasonably well in delaying his subsidy removal plans. If we can do the same thing with all his other harebrained ideas, maybe we can completely tie his hands so that he can't do too much damage before 2015.

The problem with this plan is that the likes of Boko Haram will get a free reign until then. But this is probably inevitable anyway because there's no constitutionally acceptable way to remove Jonathan, Sambo and Mark together. Whatever we do, we'll still be stuck with the spine of the same ineffective PDP government.

Evil Brain:
Or maybe we could recall Jonathan and Sambo. I'm not sure how feasible that is, but it's an option.

Recall them and then who takes over? The same David Mark whom he also doesnt want there?

If all this is not confusion to you , then I say sorry o. I make sure I post on Nairaland objectively and never let my hate, prejudice or bias for any person whether a Nairalander or someone in Governmant affect my judgement or posts. I suggest you have that as a motto too.

Ok then, OP should edit and remove the pictures. And any doubting thomases that come in to ask for proof(I suspect thats why OP added the pictures), he/she would read the other posts and understand that there was indeed proof.

Ok, he wanted to commit suicide but first publicized it on Facebook?

People who dont have money to spare for internet access(as he even has funds to use the internet), abound everywhere so what 'tremendous hunger' drove him to this?

Please, I sympathize with people who are killed by evil people like Boko Haram and people who die of deseases they didnt create.

I have no room to sympathize with this(Thats if this is not a stunt as I seriously suspect).

Kobojunkie:
@poster, I notice this is not the only one of these threads you have started in the past year. When do we expect to see you come up with something we can get working on?

He is in fact, very confused. In his first post, he says GEJ hasnt done anything in 22 months, then he says he doesnt think removing him will solve the problem. Then he talks about 'obstructionism'.

Beaf:
Please tell them.
Nigerians wish to remain slaves forever for N65.00 per litre petrol; I have never seen such cheap slaves.

For the first time in our history, we have someone who is willing to go out on a limb for the people, only for twopenny thugs like OPC to begin talking crap. I have always wondered why a man of Fasheun's education would stoop so low as to lead a band of area boys and armed robbers; but as they say, you know a man by the company he keeps.

I think you are referring to the other faction of OPC. There is a Ganiu Adams led faction too. Fasheun is a respectable elderly man.

Please, ib55, I urge you to tune in to Channels tommorrow 12noon. I just cant do it justice. Its not possible.

This amount voted for subsidy is actually part of the things keeping our refineries from working. They wont let it work. Everyone in government and all the contractors and 'business men' have their hands in the pie and everyone has been bought. Thats why I mentioned that the president is brave to agree to the removal of fuel subsidy.

I was amongs those kicking against the removal but I recently had an eye-opening discussion with someone with real information about this rot called fuel subsidy. I think the president is evn brave to admit to it as everyone, I mean everyone in government circles is eating from it.

Its the same thing that Adams Oshiomole saw and changed his mind to support the subsidy removal too. If he was still on the outside looking in, he would have ordered for various sizes of placards and banners by now. But he has seen the realities of the situation. The fuel subsidy has to be removed. And I think the federal government is prepared to take the heat weighing the consequencies of retaining the subsidy.

Aaaaahhhh kobo and Debosky, you guys are driving me nuts

@Ekoile, Is that an attempt to drag me into the cesspit of decadence? Even if we are anonymously posting, it actually exposes the sort of person someone is reading the things that flow from the person. You are all the same even you and the person you are saying started it. You are not better. So carry on. Congrats. And, lest I forget, you are one of the biggest tribalists I have read on cyberspace as your posts attest.

Have fun as I leave the thread for good

Eko Ile:
The thread is still about an article talking about the north learning tolerance from Yoruba people.

Now, please show us the tribal porpose against ibo people in the article and while you are at it, explain to us what led to ibo people on NL going on a rampage about what really has nothing to do with them.


Funny enough, the writer himself is ibo and the article was copied from Elombah (ibo website)


This is what we've been saying about ibo people, inferiority complex, insecurity and low self esteem overrides their brains all the time, anything about other people outside their borders drives them nuts like deranged psychos.

I am not taking sides, Ekoile.  So after the first person posted , what was your response to it? Your response seemed like you were just waiting for it so that you could 'give it to them' .And thats why I made the statement that its all it was all about in the first place.  Its so childish and the whole lot of you weary us(both sides). To read the sort of things posted one wonders just what sort of humans are these? There are a few names that we notice that are ever getting into tribal warfare on here. Both sides of the divide are childish and shameless. These names are recurrent in this show of shame and the blame is shared equally between the two sides.

Below is what I feel about this nonsense(And most others I have interracted with on here). The few people are making this place to a mockery of a place.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-822754.0.html#msg9841034

Honestly, the body language from GEJ is totally not for this current situation. Its not a time to smile for crying out loud. This man has 'settled on his lees'

VoodooDoll:
And voila: 30 pages of tribal wars.

Ive just seen other threads where the dead and wounded from the Christmas bombings are being remembered or their stories told, yet here we exhaust time on insulting ourselves.

I hope all the Nairaland tribal warriors do something nice to one other Nigerian this week. Even if it is your fellow tribesman, at least he or she is still Nigerian and Nigerians need to help ourselves more.

And there in lies the real purpose of this thread

I just cant believe that someone(A right thinking human being) started this thread by addressing mass murderers like Boko Haram as brothers.

gaddafe:
@op they are responsible for the blast in the first place

Nonsense! Its the evil and wicked idiots who have sworn to make the Nation ungorvernable that are sponsoring religious bigots who have no idea what and who it is they worship.

mens dept:
Bullshyt. The Jews lived in Europe for HUNDREDS of years, and finally relocated back home. Now because of that history, countries like India, Czechslovakia, Yugoslavia, and USSR did not wait for HUNDREDS of years to do the common sense thing, and partition to spare misery. Countries like Croatia and India are better than Naija at this moment, even though they dont have the so-called wealth we have.

The point is people need to stop tying Gele and wake up. Those who decide to remain in the North/hostile region, despite the overwhelming evidence of violence, should not run anywhere from now on. Either you leave permanately, or live in the north permanately.

The Jews returned to land and were aided by the Government. Where have you provided for the millions to stay? How have you arranged for food? How have you arranged for their kids to be assimilated into schools?

The idea of everyone coming home is utopian and we all wish it could happen but the only way it can work is if there is a conference and subsequent agreement by the different Nations in Nigeria to stay apart, then funds can be made available for such a purpose.
The federal government cannot make provision of funds for that purpose as the Isrealis so the two situations are different. The funds needed for such resettlement would be huge and I doubt any state government can handle it.

muyoto:
Its funny how after each attack by BH, we hear reports of Southerners fleeing the North in their ''hundreds, thousands'', jam-packing the Motors parks, blah blah.

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=833571.msg9847038#msg9847038 date=1325039900]
they are too addicted to the north to stay away.[/quote]These people were mostly born there. There parents were most likely born there and have been living there for decades. They have built homes and businesses there. Do you think its easy to just up and leave?

Its not the same as people who have family in the south and just decide to seek employment up North.  Those in that category wont waste time to relocate back to the south and in fact, most have. But the Situation of the first group, is difficult. Where do they stay, what do they do? What happens to things they built with their families over the decades?

topestyles:
did you just use the word ''obvious'' in that statement? if you did use it, seems you are now counter quoting your self.

Where did you read in the post that ''i am a forex account manager''? are you accusing me blindly? or you just wanna make a post?

Are you not the person that made the following statement? (Emphasis on the highlighted part)

topestyles: Those who actually make money from forex aint the noisy ones( i am humbled to say i am one of them),i do not mean those that make 100, 500 or 1000usd daily, i mean those that make the real cash in forex( the real cash? yeah.1000usd?No,2000usd ? No, 5000 usd? Yes!) Most of them do not offer semi baked classes, they don't even have the time! cos it probably takes then less than a trading session to make triple of whatever you want to pay them!)

Going by the above statement by you, am I wrong in pointing out your 'obvious' achievements in my earlier posts? Are you now denying that you dont make such as your earlier post indicated?
