Ambode is yoruba.

Jimi is yoruba.

Who bloody cares. Their 85% population is as useless as tissue paper.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has received commendation from the Osun State Government over the execution of water projects in the State.

The Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola gave the praise when he paid a courtesy visit on the Minister of Water Resources, Sarah Reng Ochkpe in her office recently. He also acknowledged the tremendous work which President Goodluck Jonathan is doing through water provision to the state. According to him, Ilesha has been without water for the past 50 years before the Federal Government came to her aid by releasing funds to complete the dam.

“I am quite impressed with what you people have done in Osun state and I find it necessary to come here to express my profound gratitude to the Federal Government, especially in the construction of Ilesha water project,” he emphasized.

It had better be Ilesha. My grandma's house in the state capital has always had potable water in all my years of going there.

RevDesmondJuju:
All this anti corruption rhetoric coming from the north and southwest is highly hypocritical.

The north dominated leadership positions after the civil war with Yorubas occupying strategic bureaucratic roles. Corruption began endemic under this duo.

For the south to shout corruption now is also highly hypocritical for the fact that their own region is dominated by crooks and thieve. Charity does not seem to be in their dictionary because if the northern leadership they so desire can not fix their own backyard or they can not stem corruption but celebrate it with people like Asiwaju enjoying patronage and respect how dare they speak of making Nigeria better?

From what I understand with this Buhari nonsense Yorubas who support Buhari do this for the following reason:

1. Fanatical Yoruba Muslims. There is such a thing if you don't know as fanatical Yoruba Muslims and it is growing by the day. Visit any tertiary institution and you will see them venting their by force religiousity for all to see. This group is swayed more by Jonathan's alliance with Israel. They are vast majority here on nairaland.

2. Yorubas want a piece of the action. By claiming opposition, Tinubu built his empire. Tinubu is now set to take on bigger challenges at the national level given that most of the SW states other than Lagos and Ondo have been milked dry. With this alliance Tinubu hopes to springboard to the national level where the pickings are juicier. Most of his followers will natural follow him.

3. Yorubas feeling like kingmakers. They feel irrelevant and dispensable in a Goodluck govt. Jonathan has matched any brain they have witha hat double their capacity from the southeast. It feels like 1960 again when they had to fight and compete with the more competent igbos. An Ab0ki alliance will natural see a smooth sailing to the top. To make matters worse they have no bargaining power. The SouthSouth has oil and are ready to use it to negotiate, the north has a solid disciplined political bloc. These are things the southwest does not have other than AMALA styled confusion trouble rousing politriking.

What does the worthless Nigerian Slaves have -- y1bos?

Jonathan has done PLENTY of things in the South West. Even more than for his strongest support bases in the SS/SE. Didnt Aregbesola even recently swallow pride and commend GEJ for taking Osun state a huge step towards providing potable water supply for the first time in 50 years?

Tinubu's decision to mobilize yorubas against this administration has NOTHING to do with SW interests. Just Tinubu interests

Please tell me how GEJ provided potable water in Osun?

Wonders shall never end.

@ OP, call the alliance jealousy or envy or whatever, you are entitled to your view.

SW aided GEJ to become President and we will surely be instrumental to his return to Otuoke.

We don't do blind politicking here. If you do not perform to an acceptable standard in 4years, we will vote you out. How much more the clueless one, without anything to show for 6years, apart from corruption, insecurity and poverty.

We have the right to vote for anybody we feel like voting for and we are merely exercising our exclusive right and surely we shall. If APC does not deliver too the same whirlwind GEJ is fighting against in SW now will catch up with them.

The mor0ns that were misyarning during Anambra's election will return the Mandela of Otuoke as President.

We stand for good governance, visionary leadership and delivery of electioneering promises. We don't do blind, backward and politics of bigotry here.

Someone should even tell me what GEJ has achieved in SW? Just 1. One thing that he started and completed in 6years, which is over a half of a decade.

Jonah will lose and they will also lose everything they have looted under him.

Where is GEJ's thesis?

Certificate or death threat or whatever, GEJ is just a GONER.

1Million gods and goddess of Otuoke River cannot save him.

Are these human beings or Otuoke river?

If you like reduced it to 50Kobo, GEJ you are a goner.

The only way this clueless president can return back to Aso Rock is through massive, unprecedented and monumental rigging.

Apart from phones, CCTVs, Dig Cams etc people have gone to the extent of buying small Drones, just for this election.

Our vote will count, whether the SaTANoids or Jonadaftians like it or not.

Kudos to Keyamo.

OP is making me to laugh in mandarin.

Keep staying in your SE and be day dreaming of SW voting for GEJ.

CHANGE is inevitable.

He was acting President for a year before he was sworn in as president after Yar Adua's demise.

Get your facts right.

TRUTHTELA:
Why is it that majority of those that are opposing Jonathan's relection are christians from the Southern part of Nigeria. The North, just sit back and watch you guys destroy one of your own politically.

What's behind this huge opposition and uprising against Jonathan from the South and Christians ?

So we must support him just because he is a southerner and a christian, despite its obvious lack of leadership qualities.

Can you allow GEJ to be the head of your clan, talkless of the entire extended family?

The president that told us Mend was not responsible for Abuja bombing, woke up suddenly to.tell us again that they were paid to kill him.

Took presidency 2weeks to admits girls were missing in Chibok and has he visited there, as the C-in-C of this country?

Under him, National Reserve was depleted, corruption was turned to a god that is being worshipped?

If this is what being a southerner and Christian entails, then I do no want to be one.

I demand effective, charismatic, inspiring and visionary leadership.

Is there still a president in this country?

What moral right does GEJ have to be seeking re-election, when such tragic barbaric acts are being perpetrated right under his nose?

A vote for GEJ is a vote for more bloodshed of the innocent, rejoicing of the corrupt and wanton looting of national treasury.

Chibok girls are still missing after almost 270days. People are being slaughtered like rams and our dear president is busy campaigning for re-election This is an insult on our collective intelligence. It can only happen in Africa.

Govt of the looters by the looters fr the looters = Lootocracy

Govt of the corrupt by the corrupt for the corrupt = Corruptocracy

Govt of the clueless by the clueless for the clueless = cluelessocracy

Amnesty International calls the killings ‘a disturbing and bloody escalation’ and a local defence group says its fighters have given up trying to count the bodies.

Hundreds of bodies – too many to count – remain strewn in the bush in Nigeria from an Islamic extremist attack that Amnesty International described as the “deadliest massacre” in the history of Boko Haram.

Fighting continued on Friday around Baga, a town on the border with Chad where insurgents seized a key military base on 3 January and attacked again on Wednesday.

“Security forces have responded rapidly, and have deployed significant military assets and conducted air strikes against militant targets,” said a government spokesman.

District head Baba Abba Hassan said most victims are children, women and elderly people who could not run fast enough when insurgents drove into Baga, firing rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles on town residents.

“The human carnage perpetrated by Boko Haram terrorists in Baga was enormous,” Muhammad Abba Gava, a spokesman for poorly armed civilians in a defence group that fights Boko Haram, told the Associated Press.

He said the civilian fighters gave up on trying to count all the bodies. “No one could attend to the corpses and even the seriously injured ones who may have died by now,” Gava said.

An Amnesty International statement said there are reports the town was razed and as many as 2,000 people killed.

If true, “this marks a disturbing and bloody escalation of Boko Haram’s ongoing onslaught,” said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty International.

The previous bloodiest day in the uprising involved soldiers gunning down unarmed detainees freed in a 14 March 2014 attack on Giwa military barracks in Maiduguri city. Amnesty said then that satellite imagery indicated more than 600 people were killed that day.

The attacks come five weeks away from presidential elections which are likely to trigger even more bloodshed. Already under a state of emergency, the three north-eastern states worst hit by Boko Haram asked the central government for more troops earlier this week. The government has said voting will take place across Borno state although the worsening insecurity means few international observers are likely to get clearance to oversee voting in an area that is traditionally opposition-supporting.

Around 1.5 million people have been displaced by the violence, many of whom will not be able to vote in the polls under Nigeria’s current electoral laws.

Boko Haram also appears to be regionalising the conflict, after threatening neighbouring Cameroon in a video earlier this week.

The government has made no official comment on the alleged massacres. President Goodluck Jonathan skimmed security issues when he relaunched his re-election bid in front of thousands of cheering supporters in the economic capital, Lagos, on Thursday.

The five-year insurgency killed more than 10,000 people last year alone, according to the Washington-based Council on Foreign Relations. More than a million people are displaced inside Nigeria and hundreds of thousands have fled across its borders into Chad and Cameroon.

Emergency workers said this week they are having a hard time coping with scores of children separated from their parents in the chaos of Boko Haram’s increasingly frequent and deadly attacks.

Just seven children have been reunited with parents in Yola, capital of Adamawa state, where about 140 others have no idea if their families are alive or dead, said Sa’ad Bello, the coordinator of five refugee camps in Yola.

He said he was optimistic that more reunions will come as residents return to towns that the military has retaken from extremists in recent weeks.

Suleiman Dauda, 12, said he ran into the bushes with neighbours when extremists attacked his village, Askira Uba, near Yola last year.

“I saw them kill my father, they slaughtered him like a ram. And up until now I don’t know where my mother is,” he told the Associated Press at Daware refugee camp in Yola.

The lesson from this story is:

1. Gang rape a lady that you like and plead for forgiveness and ask for her father's consent to marry her.


If the Muslim Women Society cannot speak up for this injustice, wetin be my own?

Mckennedy:
Stop calling me names coz i never called you any. Back to the topic, You said it was an igbo coup? And I asked what was Maj. Adewale Ademoyega doing among?

Apologies for the name calling. I hardly call people names till they start it first.

Back to the topic, I am asking 1 out of hoe many is non-igbo? Just 1.

Is 1 greater than 9? The only place in the whole universe where 1 could be greater than 9 is in PDP-matics.

Mckennedy:
And Maj. Adewale Ademoyega  was an igbo man abi?

See this mungo park.

You must be a PDP member. -- where lesser numbers are always greater than be higher numbers.

1 out of many?

Mckennedy:
I can now see the level you know about this matter.note The first coup was coz by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu a Niger Delter with some yoruba counterparts and the war was brought to igbos after assassinating Aguyi ironsi who rule for only 7months. name one south eastern soldier among them?

This is the list of the main actors:

Maj. Kaduna Nzeogwu
Maj. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
Maj. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
Maj. Chris Anuforo
Maj. Don Okafor
Maj. Adewale Ademoyega
Maj. Humphrey Chukwuka
Capt. Emmanuel Nwobosi
Capt. Ben Gbulie
Capt. Ogbu Oji

You can give the world their ethnicity. Also, give us the full list of the people killed by the coupists and let us compare and contrast.

NB: Ezeugo was automatically edited as a typo.

Happy New Year NL, especially politics section regulars.

Mckennedy:
And who brought about the coup?

What a question? Ask Nzeogwu Or the conniving Zik!!!!!

meccuno:
but awolowo was a very bright individual.....he was in gowons government....why did he advice the regime to revert back to the status quo......let's assume the military wasn't "bright" enough to do the needful.....obasanjo and shagari where both civilian govt who had the opportunity. Of having technocrats......why didn't they revert?? It speaks volume when you try to blame igbos for something that happened more than 40 years ago when the opportunity to revert presented itself several times.....that's not an excuse please

You are very funny.

If the unitary system was not started, will there be a need for all those story to the gods you posted.

However, who will see a system that will grant absolute power to him and will relinquish such? Why has GEJ not done same.

If Ironsi did not start it, the North won't hijack the system and use it to their maximum advantage.

meccuno:
I asked you how the igbos enjoyed the UNITARY system and you are talking about the coup........who was more senior in the army to aguiyi ironsi? Remember the igbos pre 1966 were many in the civil service........answer my question....

Why did Ironsi cancelled the regional system, if there was no hidden agenda of your usual "domination" -- whatever that means? Could he not have maintained the regional system while still being the head of state?

Ironsi became the military head of state under the unitary system and the last time i checked, he was from.the SE of.the Niger.

Yea, igbos were more in the federal civil service because others were more interested in their regional civil service. The unitary system.gives the igbos the opportunity to be posted to other parts of the country especially the north, because of their educational backwardness.

That is how the igbos enjoyed the unitary system.

eighTHREAD:
the cunning tribe even claimed they wanted to enthrone awolowo.

I tire for dem o.

Their fathers and uncles have lied to them, in their bid to save their cowardly faces.

meccuno:
please tell us how the igbos enjoyed the unitary system......thanxx

Who executed the coup?

Who was the benefactor of the coup, that became president?

Why was any Igbo leader not killed in the coup? ---- One was with a visiting Ambassador and the other was on an unending medical trip.

Mckennedy:
Pls answer this correctly, Was there Aburi accord or not ?

Why did you not declare Biafra under Ironsi?

In Your usual greed, you were enjoying the unitary system you created through your coup that killed the leaders of other regions, to control everybody else, before the counter coup.

If there was no coup, there would not be a counter coup, there would not be mocking of the deads by your people that led to the pogrom and there will not be a declaration of secession, talk less of Aburi meeting.

NAIJASOM:
It is an established fact that Nigeria lost more soldiers than Biafra during the war. A former Biafran soldier told me that Nigeria was Biafra's biggest supplier of weapons. Dead soldiers cant shoot. Any outside help had minimal effect.

When you lost 3mm women and children alone, where do you think the men went to?

They were dancing in the village square and drinking palm wine or they were sent to the world of no return.

Keep your lies to yourselves. You were resoundingly defeated.
