cogitoErgo: I agree with you on d middle belt fo Igbos, but what if one of their own from the middle belt is to contest in 2015 what are the chances for our 'aje okuta mamu omi' brothers?

sucess001: Goodness! ...Garri makes such a dull comment and another fool clicked on 'like'. lemme educate u sha since u re unrepentantly ignorant...even those beggars u see pay tax...as long as u buy goods...u re most likely paying taxes...cos the goods u re buying must have been sold by a company which has been taxed and the good itself wud have likely been taxed...in fiscal parlance...those taxes are called 'indirect tax'...in essence, the beggers @ least pay tax by purchasing taxed goods...For your 411..am workin in the legal dept of one of the biggest banks in africa...i also worked 4 2 yrs in a lawfirm in banana island where i charged $200 per hour for foreign clients...so this knowledge am giving u...is smetin u shd just shut ur mouth up and appreciate...ode

Ramcie: I thought it was Igbo didn't know it was actually Yoruba .

afam4eva: Pls counter my logic or STFU!

afam4eva: It's a serious offence but it's not as bad as chasing non-indigenes out of the state like Fashola has been doing.

kunlekunle: he's wicked because of the policies he enacted during his tenure.
what of fasola now?

PeterKbaba: IGBO'S ARE THE MOST RACIST RACE ON EARTH, THEY HATE AND TALK BAD EVERYDAY AT YORUBAS WHO ACCOMMODATES THEM, WOW.
HOW CAN I BRING AN HOMELESS PERSON TO MY HOUSE AND HE KEEPS INSULTING EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY.
NA WA OOO... IF YOU HATE US THAT MUCH, WHY NOT GO BACK TO YOUR STATES. DO YOU SEE OR HEAR YORUBAS TALKING ABOUT ANY OTHER STATES IN NIGERIA APART FROM OUR YORUBA REGION.

bashr8: we shall see , every region go vote their own we will now determine who really have the largest population.anyway if jona contest again 2015 he will win cus nobody is about to vote a northerner for now.

cogitoErgo: Obama had population behind him, blacks, hispanics etc! I dont think north+ middle belt will vote Igbo and if you guys do not know how to forget your past and win people over to yourself, then you are going to loose the west! then you loose

frankkyd: ...dn i bet we are gona keep havin a shambolic nation called Nigeria,,,with God igbo go rule jst like black obama

sweetkevisco: Why are nigerians so easily decieved.Fashola should focus more on the welfare of lagosians nt just roads.people are suffering terribly. Politicians just talk and suddenly people start praising them.

kunlekunle: you can imagine nigerians adhering to these rules 28years back, we would have been the pride of africa.
Learn to habituate for a while, you'll be a good citizen.

omo alaro: Thank you, Mr Fashakin for this coherent response. I feel sad and sometimes depressed when I see how young men (supposed future of Nigeria) unleashed on Nairaland actually regorgitate unproven accusations of boko haram sponsorship on Gen. Buhari, while our tormentors are having a fieldday looting with careless abandon. In all of these facts stated in Mr. Fashakin's response, can anybody in all honesty still believe that Buhari is in anyway connected to boko haram?.
Some people have argue unintelligently that "why has boko haram named him as a mediator if he is not their sponsor". Can we ask in the same vein why Niger delta militant named Proffesor Soyinka as a mediator if he was not their sponsor.

Myself2: I'm a Nigerian and Dr Okupe is not a disgrace to me,infact I'm proud of him for always replying in kind to enemies of Nigeria like Buhari,Lam Adesina,El Rufai and that false prophet Bakare

franchizy: Big fool what is ur evidence on Buhari being Boko Haram spokesperson

taharqa: I said it @Elueme that he is not capable of getting the logic of that statement of yours. So let me make it simpler for him, maybe he can get it now:

@Dishonoric, Azazi said that some of those PDP memebers from the north who contested with GEJ in the primaries and said they were going to make the country ungovernable for him if he won, may be involved with some other northern elites in supporting the BH; he also said that Buhari was also involved in this northern plot.

So if you believe almost as a simpleton that the northern PDP members are BH members (and you are using Azazi as a source), then you must also accept as a simpleton still that Buhari is also part of the sponsors of BH since your source also said so (in any case, Azazi's point was always that some Northerners were trying to get Power from the backdoor and so trying to discredit GEJ govt as they promised. By the way, this is also the position of the United States Government).

So your choice: either you believe Azazi as a simpleton and call some northern leaders in PDP as well as Buhari as BH members or sponsors OR you step back and think. You cant have it both ways.

Does he even understand nw

taharqa: Goon cool down, dont kill yourself now; there would be lot of time for that.

I have NEVER said that Buhari is a terroist, NEVER; I dont play silly games like that. Unlike stu.pid people like you , there are things people like us would not play with. It is Buhari and many other Northern leaders Irresponsibility by indirectly supporting the insurgency going on in the end (and dont get it twisted, it is an insurgency of some Northerners against the Nigerian State for Political power) by not doing anything to stop it while a few others support it directly, that am against. But that is a different matter.

For your info, I supported Buhari in the last elections; i regret doing so now though.

Elueme: Make him( Buhari) dare contest that election mk he see how we go use the pictures of those innocent corps members decorate the country as billboards including mr okeoma's wall post... Buhari is a shit and a murderer.

thelastPope: Let me remind you lot
