You are not making any sense to me with all this gibberish you are pasting(like my Ghana friend wld say)....

Guess what young man!

From now on, I am assuming you are a living dead(Oku Ori Iduro)

Consequently, your post or write up becomes senseless and meaningless to me.......And that is if i even read it

Please, allow the livings who know much about Nigeria history to do the talking on your behalf...

Luv you dough

Thank you.

But is it not your people that cried Ghana must go during the 80s thereby straining our relationship with them

Imagine if all a the English in UK start shouting Yoruba must go and how do you feel

Please grow up

Well I think your chronological age might be 30s but your psychological age my be infantile

Igbo this Igbo that


All the time Igbo go as if Igbo tied your Hans from making a decent living in Lagos

Stop hating learn to compete

Just get tired of adults with kids brain here

FolarinLondon:
I am blessed financially than any members of your family and i m proudly saying that online(Evidence to back it up online if there is need for that).

I am a Yoruba Nationalist as long as Igbo issue is concerned.

And finally, I ll like you to bookmark this page and come back to eat your words when you and your likes finally settle down in the East.

Just before i go, taking you back memory lane, Ojukwu(Your Hero who killed millions of his people through his senseless, irrational, unreasonable, brainless and unwell-thought-through decision but took to his heels when d same death came calling) was bragging like your likes(just like Germans before second world war, thinking that d failure/history of first world war would never repeat itself) in that video on youtube about "HOW NIGERIANS WOULD BE SHOCKED AS TO WHAT BIAFRA WOULD DO TO THEM while Awolowo and Gowon were looking at him as MUMU". Yorubas, Opc, Arewa Youth etc are 21st centurily looking again, Repetition of the same fate is gradually evolving towards reality but trust me, everything in women skirts/wrappers and make-up would be thoroughly searched and checked at our airports and borders so as to prevent the likes of Ojukwu from running through our backyard...............Op u gat that!

However, Yorubas cherish d lives of their brothers, children,grannies and sisters so much and that is why violence is the least thing on our table to get rid of you guys from south west. We are naturally blessed with faculty of winning a war without using a gun.

Violence is like a roasted plaintain with groundnuts to the yorubas when there is a need for us to fight. Pls muckin, ask your brothers about why yorubas are tagged WWWest in 80s.

Here he goes again bragging ...Dangote reincernate or Lucifer rebranded ...your the richest ..so keep it to your damn self ..do you feed me. You do that to your dependants not me

Oh you have changed your song from physical war and annihilation to intellectual war....

I laugh in Celtic accent and I will later laugh in ijebu accent

Hate and xenophobic won't help you ....grow up son

chikis:
I have been watching all the political intrigues going on in Nairaland without commenting. I think I have to start commenting now.

Here is my take. It may be true that Jonathan may not be a very good candidate. In the same vien, I also think Buhari is not a good candidate either.

If Nigerians, any other set of the pupolace or APC feel that Goodluck Ebele is not a good candidate, then they should be ready to field a candidate with a good pedigree and better political antecedents. Otherwise, I will be left with no choice than to vote for Ebele Goodluck and never Buhari or better still vote for neither of the two candidates.

Why? Both candidates are not good? But as they say "half bread is better than none." "A bird in hand is better than two in a tree." "The devil you know is better than the angel you never know". I think Good Ebele is a bit better than Buhari.

Even if I decide not to vote any of the candidates during the election, I know and believe firmly that Jonathan will come out victorious. Why? Because I have spoken the minds of (70 or 60)% Nigerians who may not be verbalistic now but will show their intention based on how they will vote during the election. Thank you.

Why did you not comment all these while

Welcome ..they will descend on you technically speaking and you are correct in your analysis

Buhari is just docile and senior senile

Incorruptible:
Chaaaiii. Bro you killed it
Kaaaii. No fit shout. There is indeed god ohhh for this your comment. I will I can like it many times

Just bared my mind to him

That's all

CHM11:
I still don't understand why APC will give us buhari when they have a Raji Fashola (great Uniben), an oshiomole (Ruskin College, Oxford, United Kingdom), just found out that even the almighty Rochas Okorocha has just a diploma from the University of Jos!!!...see the people leading us!!!! And these same reetards will say Nigerian HND, BSc, MSc, and even Phd holders are unemployable. Yet we want development!!....I think its time we start looking deeper and asking questions of those we elect into office. Namadi Sambo!!!!..I dey come for you,...but in the main time!!!!!

TINUBU RECEIVES SHOCKER IN DUBAI AS ADEYEMI ASKS HIM 'WHY SERVE BUHARI'?

leader of the ACN and former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu got the shocker of his life after he was publicly humiliated by Kogi Senator and former President of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Senator Smart Adeyemi who asked him at a party in Dubai why he would serve a man who truncated democracy! Tinubu was stunned at the effrontery of Adeyemi as was the audience. Tinubu, along with controversial former minister of the Federal Capital Teritorry, Nasir Elrufai, immediately left the hall after the incident apparently angered that Adeyemi put Tinubu on the spot.

A large number of the who is who in the Nigerian socio-political and economic strata had stormed the City of Dubai in the UAE for the society wedding of the son of oil mogul, Chief Jide Omokore, Tosin and his heartthrob, Faisal, daughter of Ambassador Azeez Musa.

There were no fewer than 20 senators on hand, including Senate spokesman, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator Smart Adeyemi, Senators Magareth Okadigbo, Zainab Kure, Gbenga Ashafa, Olugbenga Onaolapo Obadara, Boluwaji Kunlere, Anthony Adeniyi, Clever Ikisikpo, Aisha Jummai Alhassan, Esther Nenadi Usman, Olubunmi Adetunmbi and a former member of the upper chamber, Senator Joseph Akaagerger.

Besides the heavy Senate representation, the crème de la crème of Lagos was also represented. The Asiwaju of Lagos, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu; a number of red cap chiefs, a former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos State, Mr. Dele Alake; and a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai were also at the wedding.

Governors in attendance included the Akwa-Ibom State helmsman, Chief Godswill Akpabio and his wife; Kogi State governor, Captain Idris Wada; a former Military Administrator of Oyo State, General David Jemibewon, former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmadu Alli; former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris; Minister of Trade and Investment, Dr. Segun Aganga, among many others.

Something no one was prepared for, however, happened at the hall. As guests were getting seated, the lot fell on the Chairman of Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Senator Smart Adeyemi, to welcome the dignitaries on behalf of the groom’s family. The Senator, a broadcaster, went on and on reeling out the long list of the high and mighty.

A drama was to play out between Senator Adeyemi and Senator Tinubu. Adeyemi, who since he left behind his camera and microphone, has imbibed the art of politicking just like the veterans, took Tinubu by surprise.

He started by recognising Tinubu as the landlord of Chief Jide Omokore in Lagos. He said Tinubu had shown himself as a good landlord at that and that he was proud of Tinubu’s political prowess. He stated that looking at Tinubu’s attainments so far, he should not be seen as Asiwaju of Lagos, but Asiwaju of the entire kaaro o ojiire (Yorubaland). Tinubu was elated, seeing a key opposition politician eulogise him to high heavens.

Sources at the gathering told Sunday Tribune that the former Lagos governor never knew he was in for a shocker from Adeyemi who after reeling out the ACN leader’s pedigree, put the question forward. Why would Tinubu be deploying his democratic credentials in service of undemocratic elements? The hall went into deep silence, but it was not a question and answer session. So, Tinubu could not offer a response. Many of the guests who had offered ceaseless claps as Senator Adeyemi reeled out Tinubu’s credentials were also shocked at the twist.

According to the Kogi senator, Tinubu should be seen as leading the charge towards democratisation of the country, rather than promoting those who have truncated democratic growth of the nation in the past.

Senator Adeyemi said that Since Tinubu should be seen as Asiwaju of the Yoruba race, he was inherently a democrat because the Yoruba were democrats. He added: As democrats, you cannot be seen to be aligned with a dictator.

Senator Adeyemi had said: “I admire Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is the landlord of the groom’s father in Lagos. A good landlord he is and he has honoured his tenant here today. I looked at his accomplishments in politics and his political antecedents and I say that this man should not just be Asiwaju of Lagos but Asiwaju of the entire Kaaro o ojiire.
“Senator Tinubu sir, I am, however, shocked that someone of your pedigrees will be devoting his political acumen for the service of a non democrat. Someone who had truncated democracy in the past….”

“I want to assure you, Asiwaju, that there is a president in Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, who has fought more battles than any other Nigerian leader in the name of terrorism.
“In 2012, the budget for security was N900 billion; that money is enough to dualise all major roads in Nigeria. It is enough to equip our universities. If that money had entered some African countries, it would cripple the economy, but it was committed to security because of terrorism.

“Goodluck Jonathan can be likened to a pilot who took off and suddenly entered into turbulence. With patience and perseverance, he weathered the storm. Today, he has reached the cruising level and he is cruising towards 2015. I believe you should be with this president as a democrat and not with a dictator.”

The hall initially went into pin-drop silence, but then erupted in huge ovations for the Kogi senator. Tinubu felt the shocking twist to the senator’s prolonged eulogy. But it was not a question and answer session so he could not offer a response.

Afterwards, Tinubu and the former FCT Minister, el-Rufai, left the venue. They were said to have been apparently unhappy at the decision of Senator Smart to turn the venue to a political gathering.

To cap it all, Senator Adeyemi moved a motion and put the question as it is done in the Senate. He put the question, saying; “those in favour of the solemnisation of Tosin and Faisal here today, say ‘aye’…… and the ayes have it.”

It was not the first time Senator Adeyemi was lashing out at those he blamed for truncating Nigeria’s democracy in the past. During a debate on the remunerations for past presidents and Heads of State, Senator Adeyemi rose on the Senate floor to announce that Nigeria should place a ban on anyone who had truncated democracy in the past. He insisted that anyone who had been seen to act negatively against the growth of Nigeria’s democracy in the past should not be allowed as partakers in the current politics, adding that the punishment for such persons should be life ban from partisan politics

kenny987:
Hehehe...tnx jare. It just makes me wonder sometimes when I see or read people reason the way they do.

The answer is simple

Common sense is not common after all

So don't be dazed

Nice one a good one a perfect one

stayblack:
Buhari for President.school or no School.buhari means change.educated Monkeys.

Education is a wasted money and project on you. That money would have used for constructing a fishery

Eziachi:
It's unfortunate that this misguided stereotype that northerners are all illiterate still persist. Yes they don't have many illiterate graduates like us but those of them of the elite are very well taught and speaks better and cohorent than many of us. They do not shout as loud as us.

Then he should do the needful by presenting his certificate. Simple

kenny987:
Na wa for some people o! Just because of your support for a person for reasons best known to you, you have decided not to even inquire into obvious legality issues! The law stipulates basic qualifications for certain positions; INEC as electoral umpire has the power to examine these and they must be originals, certified true copies or affidavits of whatever their status is, which must be true and in line with common sense. Those of you asking for photocopies, in your various plces of work or schools, did u present only photocopies? Did you not bring originals for sighting and did your original documents not remain in your possession? How then can someone say his original credentials are in the possession of his former employer and it is accepted by some hook, line and sinker? Where then is our patriotism? By our votes, we are the employers of whoever occupies any elective office and as an employer or as employers, there are basic standards which applicants must meet! Will you run your office or organization on sentiments? So why attempt to run Nigeria that way? Notwithstanding the corruption and poor performance of past leaders, if there must be change the basic foundation has to be in place upon which to build! How can people then blatantly ask for a waiver of constitutional provisions because GMB is involved? Is he above the law? This is a verifiable issue so it should be dealt with accordingly!

When people say PDP and GEJ are behind the current saga, the bottom line should be: Has there been a contravention of the law in this regard? A person cannot be blackmailed unless he actually has something to hide or be ashamed of! The law may appear to be applied selectively but it remains the law! It would have been a problem if the PDP aspirants were exempt form these educational requirements but that is not the case so why cry foul?

If I have not been married I would have proposed to you immediately you won my heart and admiration ...you were apt

Have a great new year

You are very few people that reason normally here

hollandis:
You are such an illiterate,your useless write up is tattered and riddled with grammatical bombs.
How come Buhari supporters are the unlearned,the unschooled in the society?

.because APC is synonymous with touting and e thuggery so dear don't be alarmed

Expect to see more of their idiosyncratic attitude in few weeks town

Now tinubu never had certificate also

Oh birds of the same feather has a way of been found together

Just watching buhari.. he is just ....

CHM11:
If only Buhari had listened when Babangida warned him to keep shut else he will expose him.
Anyway, when you stay with mad people too much you behave mad, likewise when you stay with cows too much, you will behave like a ___________....

That's what is called adaptation and acclimatization

But wait . Buhari must be daft and crazy to think we are crazy

Who submits original certificates ..you bring original for sighting and submit photocopied

Now buhari should find another story

Givemejoy:
Let me bring you up to speed, the Igbos in Delta are different from the one across the Niger and the Igbos in Benin close to the border of Delta and Benin are not the same. Marital and burial rites are [b][/b]different.

My wife is an Igbo from Delta and ukwuani to be particular and I am yet to see anything different ..my cousin married an ogwashi man and I am yet to see any difference basically ..maybe a little external influence which is normal like arochukwu having some efik influence and nsuka a bit Igala influence and ika a bit Edo influence but that is like 20%

Igbo as a whole is not a homogeneous ..IMO has a bit different culture from anambra even dialect same is anambra having a bit different accent and culture from Ebonyi but 80% of the Igbo have same cultural outlook including Delta and igbanke.. at least I have been there ..so if I talk I talk what I know

NO IGBO COMMUNITY TAKES THE MARRIED DAUGHTER HOME. ALL IGBO COMMUNITY BURIES HER MARRIED DAUGHTER IN HER HUSBAND VILLAGE ...UNLESS SHE DIED A DIVORCEE AND ALL IGBO COMMUNITY DO OMUGWO...NO IGBO COMMUNITY DOES NAMING AFTER 7DAYS...

SO PROVE ME WRONG WITH THE DIFFERENCE

Ayekotoo:
Pan-Yoruba association, Afenifere Renewal Group, has warned that given the drop in the price of crude oil, 24 states may not be able to pay salaries next year if the structure of government bureaucracies is not changed.
The group said this in its report on critical review of Nigeria’s economic and political governance in Lagos on Wednesday.
The report, which was signed by the group’s
national chairman, Olawale Oshun, added that
it was unfortunate that 60 per cent of public
expenditure went to the servicing of
bureaucracies.
It read, “Nigeria is over-governed with a
bloated Federal Government, 36 state
government bureaucracies, one FCT
administration, and 774 Local Government
Areas. When budgets of all these government
tiers are collated, more than 60 per cent of all
public expenditure in Nigeria goes to service
these bureaucracies that consist of less than
three per cent of Nigeria’s population.
“This high cost of governance is the reason we
cannot fund the delivery of critical
infrastructure and social programmes. High cost
of governance contributes to high cost of doing
business, which, in turn, reduces Nigeria’s
competitiveness in the global market.
“Unfortunately, current economic realities show
that Nigeria can no longer fund these
bureaucracies as some states now owe workers
as much as four months’ wages, with no respite
in sight. One would not be a Prophet of Doom
to say there is a high probability that two-third
of states in Nigeria might not be able to pay
salaries in 2015. This is another threat to
political stability as social vices and malfeasance
would increase.”
The group, therefore, recommended that the
country went back to the regional system of
government as practised in the First Republic or
the adoption of the six geo-political zones as
federating units.
The group further called for the abolition of the
Excess Crude Account and the elimination of
importation of refined petroleum products as
well as the maximum devolution of powers to
the federating units.
The group lamented the marginalisation of the Yoruba under the Goodluck Jonathan administration and wondered why all the heads of government financial organisations were of Igbo extraction.
It said, “Nigerians should be concerned
because the 2015 general elections will not
replenish the country’s depleted tank of
political stability if certain reforms are not
pursued as urgently as possible.
“In the absence of socio-political and economic
justice, nepotism and ethnocentrism have taken
over as the emblem of our presidential politics.
For instance, it is difficult not to read meaning
to the fact that under the current
administration, all economic agencies like the
Central Bank of Nigeria, Security and Exchange
Commission, Debt Management Office, and
Finance Ministry, are headed by experts from
one ethnic nationality.”

The Yoruba that headed financial and corporate world in Nigeria messed this country up. They should go and sit down

My dear,thanks for the input.
I have the worst case scenario here.
My mum,the name benin alone purges her. According to her,what will she tell her fellow women,umu ada etc
My maternal uncles we relate with ve directed me to the angle of praying. I ve been praying ooo
My silbings?none of them wants to get on my Dads black list. They are not helping matters at all except one. They said if i can win my parents,then they ve no problem.
Let me say we grew up having the same mentality. I for one never believed in this life that i will have the thought of marrying outside my state. But look at me now At times,the things we wish for does not come the way we want them. I ve a good man now but dont have the state...

My dear as a married man

I will advise you that marriage us not a tea party

Do not go against your parents

Love is not enough in marriage

There are things like compatibilities be IG cultural intellectual and social

But as ada you have to marry near home but if you had not been ada you can protest ...as an ada in Igbo milieu there is this mantle on you

So what if your kid tomorrow disobeys you..how will you feel

Don't let them die a sad people

Respect their wishes

They are the god you see

I rest my case

But as a fact ...you are an ada and you should be nearer home and the house rest on you ..leave. the man

Respect your parents so that your days will be long on earth so that your kids will respect you

What the elder sees sitting down
The child won't see on hill top

Enough said

Wendy80:
I have a distance Cousin who's suitor was rejected too For difference in tribe reason. She begged n begged and they agreed with the intention of frustrating the Man.
The list given to him was like 5x the normal list, he couldn't go ahead cos of cost, d girl became frustrated that she angrily left with her man. When she got pregnant, she still appealed to her parents they refused so they went to the registry. When her parents heard they just cut her off but 4year down the line with 2kids and expecting d 3rd one her parents were now begging them to come and do the proper thing
She refused oh, her Mum begged eh and she gave them condition dat things has to be done her own way oh. Na so her husband take pay small thing on her head. He didn't spend half of d normal list.

My Dear I'm just saying a true life case I know, I'm not saying u shd go against Ur parents wish oh cos not everyone is lucky, but sometimes our parents reasons can be selfish. I wish they know how some ladies do night vigil n all manner of things just 4 life partner.

Thanks anyway.

It depends

If its Igbo speaking areas of Delta and Edo ..they are basically the same all over Igbo land just a little Benin elements

But inter tribal marriage one has yo have guts to venture

Apart from this dude and fani Kayode why is it that most Yoruba dudes are loud and obnoxious...? How can he be bragging and talking about women he slept with? Is it part of culture

I have noticed this trend also ..post answers pls

Talk is really cheap. How long does it take your brothers and sisters to disappear towards the East during Abiola riot, thinking Yorubas would vent their anger on them?

There won't be a war; it ll be a walkover

Abiola fight wasn't our fight it was yours abs we have seen how you fought it

So you wanted us to fight for you

No wonder your known as liked oiler

FolarinLondon:
Lol!!!!! I am laughing at your ignorance. Go and study the history of India and Pakistan, South Sudan and Sudan and few other countries around the world. Like I said earlier, the momentum of getting you out of south west is gathering online and clandestinely offline, just watch out.

Your likes never expected Hausas/Fulanis to subject them to what they went through in the hands of hausas/fulanis in the 60s until Igbos pushed them to wall. We are even praying for the war to take place in Lagos so as to get rid of you and your likes forever(Back to your Eastern region)

If you fight your landlord from now till eternity, u ll be d one to leave his house either u like it or not.

That's okay

Bring it on

Lagos can turned to grave yard finally

You know the battle field will be at your doorstep

We will keep our zone in tact and bring the war to you so that you can take twenty years to reconstruct
Anyway talk is cheap

We know you people bro

Try owambe

FolarinLondon:
Economically successful he said Jeez!!!! lol!! who? Igbos! Chaiiii! ..............With half of your brothers and sisters on our streets in South west, struggling to survive.

This topic is really self-defined Bro, pls ask me how or what do I meant by that? It's like a Nigeria citizens telling America citizens that Nigeria is more economically successful than America as a nation. Trust me, you might end up in prison for the rest of you life for making such statements. Look around the world and tell me how many US citizens do u see in Nigeria.................................

I just don't know what is wrong with people

So Chinese and USA citizens in Nigeria are not important again ..okay for Igbo to be in Lagos it means Lagos is more important

Bro we call it oversea economic colonization

We keep our first own economy in tact and take a big chunk of your own ..then we repatriate the profit after paying some paltry tax

You move in to places there is little competition and Lagos got that ..Igbo crush everything the land on from ICT to hospitality

Don't blame us bro blame it on nurture and nature

So basic literacy is your problem?
Or you didn't read the part of my post where is mentioned that there is currently an ongoing standard gauge rail project which will link Lagos with the entire South East and Niger Delta? Of course how will you know any of this? People like you don't follow news, don't keep up with ccurrent affairs, don't know that the Chinese PM signed the $13.1bn rail construction deal with President Jonathan during the WEF in Abuja. You won't know what Owerri is one of the cities to be linked by that standard gauge line which is much faster than this newly refurbished narrow gauge line.

All you know how to do is come on Nairaland and yarn opaks all day long about "our leaders" as if you're any better than them

Clueless mofo. Abeg don't even quote me. Your IQ is too low.
