Adams is the worst governor in Nigeria. Where's prof Osumbor?

[quote author=George_D link=topic=766645.msg9249296#msg9249296 date=1317377539]those statistics do not apply in nigeria. remember we always cling tenaciously to what
others have thrown away in their own countries! [/quote]Those statistics will eventually arrive in Naija, though the world woulda moved from the Smasung Galaxy S2.
I have a BB that I hadly use since I got Baba Samsung.

@Eko Ile
My friend quit cursing, just answer the many questionable actions of Tinubu if you must.

You should thank your God he only had a Blackberry. What if he had the baba of phones?
I mean the Samsung Galaxy S2 with Super AMOLED display an 8 MP camera, 32GB storage, 1 GB RAM with TV out and operating on Android OS (Gingerbread).
This monster weigh's 116g only. Stop him by all means from getting the Galaxy S2.

No matter what GEJ does these haters would forever remain haters.

Got news for haters.
Y'all can't do jack, he was duly elected so scream as much as you like, it wouldn't change shiit


Lol!!!!

I laugh in Boko haram.

Tinubu should just answer why he had so many foreign accounts in breach of our code of conduct for public office holders.
Why he's answering the above, he should also throw light on his indictment in the US.

You allege the govt is just watching, now what is your own solution to eradicating the BK menace?

Eko Ile:
Was he ever arrested to start with?

I believe the picture with him at CCB was photoshopped. He was never arrested, he missed his way and ended up at the CCB.

Love him or loathe him, he remains a formidable politician.

brixton:
kai dis beaf guy too get mouth. I hail thee my mouthed broda

Beaf single handedly won Nairaland for GEJ LOL!!!
With Beaf their's no shaking.

Can't post because of an aleged spam sent by me. This has come as a shock. I'd liked to be reminded with links of when this happened. I haven't posted on Nairaland for more than a month, could that be the reason? Admin/Mods please tell me what happened. Has someone cloned my account?


Am surprised I can post this topic now. What's going on?

Wither Nigeria

It's either you are a sick baboon with no brain cells or you are high on chloroquine.   
Why didn't u drop out of school (if u ever went to any) because you have muslim teachers or classmates. Why have you not resigned from your job (if you ever had one) because your boss or you co-worker is a muslim extremist.  stoopid eeediiioot 

Since you couldn't fathom the obvious am going to break it down to you. Your analysis if I may call it that is at best naive and to a staggering ridiculous level. How can you equate working with a muslim colleague to a pastor who sought political office with a known muslim extremist?
Bakare had a job but decided he'd rather work for the devil thats the difference.

Tell me which ethnic group won't want a country of their own amidst the chaos?

There's never going to be a referendum with the above question. Thank God this only happen's on the internet.
Phew!!!!

Excerpts
"Yes, I can shed some light on the connection with Lagos, which was a colony of Benin for many years, ruled by Edo viceroys. The modern name Lagos was derived from one used by Portuguese explorers - "Lago di Kuramo".

But the original Edo name for Lagos is "Eko". Oba Orhogbua, who had earlier been educated and baptised at a Portuguese school in Benin, founded it as a prisoner-of-war camp in the 16th century. [Orhogbua was the son of Esigie]

Because of a falsely rumored coup back home he returned to Benin from where he dispatched his grandson Esikpa to return to become the first Eleko of Eko. Esikpa was himself succeeded by his sons Edo and Guobaro respectively.

Beginning with Esikpa, most Elekos had their remains returned to Benin for interment. [Chiefs of Badagry were also buried in Benin.] Shortly after the amalgamation of North and South in 1914 there was a brief Eleko crisis in Lagos when indigenes demanded a reestablishment of their traditional monarchy. In 1915, responding to requests by Lagos indigenes, Iyase Obaseki and Obazuaye were dispatched by Oba Eweka II to testify about the Edo antecedents of the Lagos Monarchy.

To this day, many genuine traditional titles in Lagos are Edo titles. There is a direct blood link between the royal families of Lagos and
Benin. And if you pay very close attention, Edos are very prominent and successful in Lagos life. A fair number of "Lagosians" have Edo heritage even though a large number have acculturated their names with the Yoruba majority.

You can verify this information from the Palace of Oba Oyekan."

Only a dolt would vote against BRF, the least any bigot can do is vote for BRF with the belief BRF's success in Lagos is imitated nationwide.

Talk is cheap

tonyzaks:
some people think the north cannot survive  on its own is totally vague, so you all think that the SS, SE & SW can coexist? bullshit.

Impossible for the SS, SE & SW to co exist in one country after what may be a brutal and long war.

P.S
I can't see an Igbo man fighting along side a Yoruba man in the event of war. In the first civil war the Igbos were nearly made extinct by the Yorubas reneging on their promise. The Igbos might be planning the same thing.

What AWOLOWO said before the war:

"If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to secede from or opt out of Nigeria, then the Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation"

Moral of the above is "Talk is cheap" the complexities and realities of war might make foes friends and friends foes. Never start a war you can't finish.

Talk is cheap indeed.

deadie:
People quote how Yoruba's and South South hates Igbo's and wouldn't want to be part of a break away country. I want to raise too important issues.

1. No matter the differences between the various Southern groups, they have evolved past the level of taking cutlass against defenceless groups. Hence EVEN if divisions exist between the groups, it will NEVER reach the extent of what is obtainable in Nigeria. Tell me, what is the average number of lives lost in Northern Nigeria yearly for the past 10 years?
2. Who told u Igbo's really need the other groups to form a country? Igbo's have more than enough land to sustain itself (you may want to look at the size of Israel on a map).

Any of the regions in the South can prosper independently: mostly educated, hardworking or endowed with natural resources.
The North on the other hand have a culture of not striving for education, restricted by religion and negatively affected by their living conditions. Today's Nigeria is hell and heaven joined together.

My brother it won't happen, Igbo and Yoruba can never trust each other hence the next best option is a "True Federation" with resource control.
This is what AWOLOWO Said:
"If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to secede from or opt out of Nigeria, then the Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation, "

The politics of money won't allow separation.

Sweetnecta:
@EzeUche; #18 on: Today at 02:13:24 PM »There is Islam in that Christian East, you Islam hater. Will you not throw your hatred upon the muslim igbos after you separate?

Maybe, EzeUche should separate himself from Nigeria. per chance, the hausa and boko haram who hate you and you hate them just equally, they may just improve and freedom and peace ring and there is no more chaos.

can you sacrifice yourself, for the igbo people by leaving Nigeria for say Cameroon, instead of letting the chaos linger because you are among them? i have not seen a person worse than you in hatred of others while you mirror in behavior the people you hate. you rightfully condemn them without checking your own hard heart.

The "Nkweres/Anioma etc" people will not be "Igbo" enough in his new country. Dolts like him who're consumed by hate will find a ready supply to hate, trust me.

bamosagie:
really cofussed about Tippy Top position, why are you hell bent on one Nigeria? somehow you seem to be benefitting from the system, who is paying you to keep up this spirited defence, now I am sure your claim is not true. a leopard cannot change its stripe, you are a true son of the north.

If you had cared to read my previous posts you wouldn't have come to that conclusion. Am against war but pro a negotiated separation. Am against dullards who come here advocating wars while sheepishly living the life in US/UK.

virgo:
Don't make an backside of yourself my friend. I don't owe you any explanation on why I live in Abuja. LOL! Almajiri lover!

If you hate them that much then take a hike. Silly girl.

halfcurrent:
When Col Gadaffi recommended splitting for us (Nigeria), we were all raining abuses on him. Now, it appears it is the most sensible advise.

Learn to analyse because we're  the ones actually laughing at Gadaffi, so the joke is on you. Libya is split in two, haha

virgo:
Then the Brits left, and Pakistan left taking Bangladesh, but then  Bangladesh left Pakistan.  Just two years ago Indian and Pakistan were about to nuke each other over Kashmire. Who's laughing now? Hehehe!!!!

India is laughing real hard brother man. Check the level of suicide bombings in Pakistan and India and do your maths. SMH. Olodo!

What the heck are you doing up north if you hate them that much? Why not come back south and do some serious work rather than  servicing 70yr old Alhajis.

virgo:
Care to display your cache of arms in the impending doom you advocate? Get lost, "brave woman".

Aww struck some nerve, didn't I? Thought you were going to hide in your hole forever, spineless coward!

Better than me hiding in your stinking "hole" I tell you that.

kulutempa:
Tippy Top, I am laughing so hard right now, my sides are aching.   You know what, what you have said which I have highlighted is the very same thing the British told Ghandi in pre independence India, as a reason for their continued stay and colonisation of the country.    They said they were in India to keep the peace between the Hindus and Muslims because if they leave there would be total war.   Ghandi in return replied  "You leave first and we would try to solve our problems without your help.

Then the Brits left, and Pakistan left taking Bangladesh, but then  Bangladesh left Pakistan.  Just two years ago Indian and Pakistan were about to nuke each other over Kashmire. Who's laughing now?
Hehehe!!!!

virgo:
@Tippy Top, please note that I don't care what you think of my views. As you have gathered from my posts, I find you very cowardly. So there, the animosity is mutual dear.

Care to display your cache of arms in the impending doom you advocate?
Get lost, "brave woman".

Moslems have differences but so does christianity. Igbos are mostly Catholics and Yorubas mostly Aladuras/CAC. I wonder why it evolved like this/

bamosagie:
@Tippy Top, really doubt your claim to being edo, honestly i think you are from Niger state.

Ebho na ma hon, oghi gbor bhan.

virgo:
"I suspect he is Auchi. Muslims there has northern sentiments. Understandable"

LOL! Then  he is delusional. Hausa Muslims won't even pray in the same mosque with their Yoruba counterparts.   I am laughing so hard. Tippy Top honey, no biggie if you feel closer to the North than the much saner south. Ever heard of the word "migration". Lol, what a joke!

Why is it impossible for you to grasp that I find your "views" appalling. Am non of the above.

P.S
Hmmm is this where you start calling me all ssorts of names and how I betrayed the south/christianity and the rest of it.
If I were you I'd keep my distorted view to myself.

Basseti:
If u are willing to be part of this Nigeria and try diplomacy to make it work, why are u reluctant then to be part of a Southern Nigeria conglomerate and also put your diplomacy hypothesis to test.

Or are U saying the only reason that Edo is part of Nigeria is the inclusion of the North?

This would be our mindset in a war situation.
Why would we want to be under another big tribe when we can have our own.

jerseyboy:
History Happens no Matter how we Feel. Unfortunately.

How about we shape our history?

jerseyboy:
@Tippy Top ,  Edo will be integral part of the south. I suspect you are northern Edo. Talk to the majority.
And by the way there wont be 250 countries, there will be 2. It has always been the Hausa/ Fulani/ Kanuri versus the rest.
The map will be closer to Gideon Orkar.

As an Edo man I can't see why I would want to be swallowed by the Igbos or Yorubas in a divided Nigeria.

jerseyboy:
@Tippy Top , You are a very reasonable guy. Unfortunately on this one the tide of history is against you.

Nothing this broken can exist for long no matter the force to hold it together.

We can help history by resorting to diplomacy, the alternative will be at least 5million dead in the absence of diplomacy.
You willing to sacrice such a figure to achieve what?
