zendy:But tell me why are Igbos obsessed with power, especially the presidency? When an Igbo man supported by Igbo becomes leader, everything is ok, but when the igbos lose power, the succession is the answer. The whole 28 million Ghanians are not one tribe. Ghana too has numerous tribes just like Nigeria and you do not hear shouts of succession when one tribe loses power. Very few countries on this planet contain only one tribe, most countries in the world are multi-ethnic and multi religious and they learn to co exist with each other. GEJ lost because lots of people including some of his people believed he failed and lost the confidence of the political class. It has nothing to do with hatred for Igbos or minorities. After all he was supported in his first election. If igbos want to contest and win the presidency, they would need to build alliances with others and stop insulting all other tribes that do not support them. |
What is the concern of the OP? Nigerians always taking Panadol for another person's problem. Marriage is a personal decison between adults, if you like to marry younger person's it is your perogative, if you prefer older, it is also your cup of coffee. An outsider has no business worrying about it, except they are jobless. |
CSTR2:Is it by force to send your children to UNITY Schools? In fact how many UNITY schools are in Nigeria and what is the total student population in Nigeria. How many students from Yobe or even Bayelsa apply to be admitted into unity schools. If you are so obsessed with unity schools, then pressurize your state government to set up disunity schools. |
You people are too obsessed with cut off marks of Unity Schools. It is called UNITY Schools. Its purpose is not to produce excellent students, its purpose is to Unify the Federation by giving a chance to student from for every state in the country to attend. It is meant to be a platform where student from every part of this country come together and relate to each other in a conducive learning environment. It was designed to be a social integration mechanism. So Igbo people needs to stop making a mountain out of a molehill by always screaming injustice at the different cut off marks in Unity Schools. If you disagree with the policy of Unity schools, then do not apply to have your wards admitted into unity schools. After all what is the percentage of unity schools to the total secondary schools in Nigeria? I am sure it is not up to 0.001%. Unity schools does not stop state governments or even private citizens from setting up schools. Me for one do not intend sending my children to Unity schools. Why is it only the Igbos that complain of Unity schools? Bayelsa (Ijaws) with a cut off mark of 79 is not complaining. Do you want unity schools consisting only of Igbo students? The irony is that the same people complaining of Buhari not Adhering to federal character in appointing office holders are the same people complaining when federal character is applied to unity schools. Does the fact that student are admitted into unity schools with different cut off mark mean that they would be promoted and pass out using different grades? Will WAEC and NECO use different marking schemes to mark their exams? |
fulanimafia:Fulani, do not mind him, hated can render someone irrational and psychotic. It provide an excuse for ones failures and failings. What impact did the pillars of the Jonathan's administration have on their region, their states and even their clan? What about your state governor?, what do they do with the free money they get from Abuja? Have they had any impact on your life? The Igbos have held every position in this country save the president? what impact did they have on their region? The educational attainment of the south has nothing to do with government policy, it has more do do with the value southerners place on western education, while the northern people generally abhor western education. So you expect the recent appointments made by Buhari two to four weeks ago to have had significant impact on the north by now. You need to see a shrink for Hatred management therapy. |
Do not mind the Wailing Wailers trying to distort history and confuse Nigerians. They are comparing a doctored selection of Jonathan's appointments with all of Buhari's appointments up to date. Why not compare ALL of Jonathan's appointments from the day he became acting president till the day he left office to that of Buhari's appointments from May 29th till date. It is then we can appreciate (with accurate statistics) who's appointments is more balanced in terms of ethnic, tribal, zonal and religious considerations. |
ProAnti:I am sure you did not vote change, you must certainly voted for continuation and transformation, so you should be satisfied if PMB toes GEJ's line. It is people that voted change that has the right to complain if they feel PMB has not changed from GEJ's lines. |
Niagarafall:Before you catch a thief, you must first probe and investigate to determine the facts and who is responsible for what, you then move to the prosecution stage, where guilt or innocence is determined by the courts. We are still in the preliminary stage of investigation. Criminal investigations do not take place in one or two months, it sometimes takes years or even decades. |
christinie:I do not believe a sane person made the above statement. Are you insinuating that no one should be investigated and prosecuted for any crime unless every single citizen that had ever been suspected of such crime is investigated and prosecuted? The implication of such crazy statement is; No armed robber must be prosecuted unless all other armed robbery case is prosecuted. No traffic offender must be prosecuted unless all others that commited the same traffic offence is prosecuted. No drug dealer or baron must be prosecuted because other major barons and dealers have not been investigated and prosecuted. Is that your defense of Jonathan? Instead of you to vouch for his innocence, you are justifying his guilt. We might has well shut down our court and abolish the judiciary, because it is impossible to catch and prosecute all criminals. Are you even aware of the impact, the money stolen by Jonathan's Administration (allegedly) would have on your life? Do you know what can be achieve with the said sum? Buhari need money to run his government and he is trying to recover as much stolen cash as he cash to improve your life. |
pazienza:The keyword here is "few". Only 5% of Igbos supported Buhari. You can see from Buhari's body language (and verbal too) that is he pained that only 5% igbos supported him. Not not 20% or even 10%, but only 5%. Don't worry, the "few" igbos that supported him would bet ministerial or other appointments. Ngige and Ogbonnaya Onu would definitely get ministerial appointments. The problem i see is that Igbos might not get favours from the Buhari administration if you people do not quickly reconcile your differences with him. Buhari is incapable of rising above sectional and parochial interests.This just confirms what i said earlier, you mind is already made up, There is nothing Buhari can do to change your mind. The Peter onu story is true and not a propaganda.Then provide a collaborating link or source to this Peter Onu story. Also where is Onu's own version and other involved parties. A jugde cannot find a person guilty based on one side of the story. |
pazienza:So based on this one (probably concoted) story, the whole of Igboland made a decision to hate Buhari? This write up is obviously one negative campaign strategies adopted by PDP just before the election. It was still harping on certificate forgery campaigns against Buhari. It veered off point to whip up emotional sentiments on unequal cut off marks for unity schools. The writer who i suspect is Igbo could not even spell Buhari right. Now tell me how many voters read this story before deciding to hate Buhari? are you telling 95% of Igbos read and believed this story? Buhari has nothing to prove, you guys have already labelled him as an illiterate, terrorist, religious and ethnic bigot, i doubt there is anything he can do or say that will change your minds. The onus is on you people to discuss and reconcile your differences amicably, further exasperating the situation would not be in the interest of the Igbos (at least during his reign as president). I recommend "The Prince" by Machiavelli and 48 laws of power by Robert Greene for every Igbo leader and politician to understand how to play the game of power. |
menabadoo:Sorry for the mix up. Correction taken. |
As lagos is no man's land, it will be annexed by Nnamdi Kanu when he declares his Biafra. |
pazienza:But is the voting pattern of the Igbos acceptable to Buhari? 95% of the Igbos voted against Buhari, not on account of competence, integrity or campaign promises but purely on Hatred, religious bias and anti-north sentiments. They went on hate campaigns and insults as an election strategy. But now that Buhari has won, they demand Buhari love them with Key apponitments. What did this Ohaneze say when Buhari was begging them for support before the elections? Did they not reject him and threw their weight behind Jonathan. No where in the world i have i seen an ethnic group or any other group of people reject a candidiate by as much as 95%, based only on primitive primordial sentiments. It is even more unreasonable to expect this hated person to do you special favours. Fayose, Fani Kayode and other SW politicains that followed the same path of hate campaigns have attempted to make amends and toned down their insults on the person of President Buhari, but the Igbos have upped the ante and insult Buhari with every word he speaks and any action he takes. No attempt at reconcilliation whatsoever and they demand appointments. Even the Ijaws have made peace with Buhari. Do not worry, Buhari will meet the minimum constitutional requirements by appointing people from all states of the federation, but i doubt the Igbos will get important or "juicy" appointments. |
Clowns. When the army was taking orders from PDP candidate in Ekiti state to rig the Ekiti governorship elections, the same senators did not see the need to petition President Jonathan or even carry out inquires. When the Army and security forces were being used for elections, why are PDP now being concerned that they are asked to come and testify. Are they not valid witnesses to what transpired during the elections? |
This is the story of ALL riverine oil bearing communities of the nigerdelta - including my community. No portable water, no roads, no schools, nothing... Just oil companies and and their staff living in posh isolated areas, oil platforms or rigs. Most of the politicians dont live within the communities but in Abuja, lagos or state capital. so the people live in poverty and squalour dispite the wealth on their lands. this is why i am still angry at the yeye anmesty program by Yaradua/jonathan. it did nothing to allieviate the poverty and expoitation of the Nigerdelta. |
Where did the excess money come from? I thought the excess crude account is money that is in excess of the budgeted crude benchmark for the year, which this year is put at about $65. So has crude prices gone beyond $65 within the last 3 months? |
Afam4eva:I was only responding to this silly post by your Igbo brother ; carnegiefan:Who insinuated that because my people are less than Ngwa clan, we should fall in line and expect to be dominated and exploited by the Igbos. Officially, the Hausa/Fulanis are more populous than the Igbos, so using your brother's warped logic, the igbos should accept domination by the Hausa/Fulanis. He is invariable advocating for domination and exploitation of minorities within Nigeria, and in his proposed Biafra. |
carnegiefan:Also you are not making sense. Using your warped logic, the Hausa/Fulani that has more population than you should fall in line and behave like you. You now expect the same level of privileges like the Hausa/Fulanis? I feel sorry for the Minorities that decides to join your Biafra. |
Afam4eva:My brother my tribe the Itsekiris are far mor shortchanged than the Igbos. We produce close to 20% of this country's oil resources but there is nothing to show for it. No political appointments, no infrastructural developments, no increased allocation to our communities. All we get from Nigeria is pollution and neglect. My village controls 13 oil wells, yet we do not have pipe drinking water, no schools (not even primary school), no access road. What should we do? Vent our hatred on the Yorubas andHausas (and probably Igbos)? No. we will bid our time and weight our options for the good of all Itsekiris. Mend struggle was a selfish struggle, it only enriched militants. It did not address any of the underlying problems of the NigerDelta - like Pollution, poverty and exploitation. Boko Haram is a political tool ( by northern political elites) gone awry. |
Afam4eva:But people like you need to be countering the damage being done by Kanu. My business partner is often sad when he reads messages from kanu and he always assures us that his views does not represent mainstream Igbos. We all agree that Nigeria as presently structured is faulty, but war hatred and violence is never the way to correct these ills, else we fall into George Orwell's "Animal Farm" syndrome. |
Tkester:Typical Kanu indoctrinated juvenile illiterate, shallow intellectual acumen masked by foul and gutter language. |
Afam4eva:Afam you are one of the highy exposed and educated Igbos on the forum, so it would be a tragedy if you allow a semi illiterate like Kanu to influence your thoughts without asking questions. We from the actual Niger Delta are often bewildered when we are dragged into Biafran struggles of the igbos. We honestly do not understand what it is all about. No Niger deltan would want to substitute Nigeria for Biafra. Even the Ijaws that lost the presidency would not join your Biafra. Most prominent Ijaws have joined APC, including Jonathan's hench men. Please you people need to educate us on Biafran ideology outside hatred for Yoruba and Hausa, the struggle for the presidency and political appointments and more allocations from the national cake. |
mekaboy:My brother, thanks for your post, it shows igbos are very sensible and intelligent people. I love igbos, my wife is pure igbo, my best friend and partner is pure igbo and they do not hold such hatred for Yorubas and other tribes as insinuated by Kanu and his juvenile and illiterate crowd. The Igbos (and other tribes) need to change their value system and orientation. They need to develop love for each other. There is no love even within families, not to talk of clan or sub tribes. All these talk about igbos loving each other is false. Most igbo families i know are not united. Rich family members often do not help less privileged members. Fortunate brothers, sisters, cousins and aunts often do not even want see their poor members. Igbos need to promote unity and love among themselves before they can hope to forge a common front, politically, socially or even financially. |
cheruv:Abeg yarn me which technology you people have that you can sell to us for our oil. |
PPAngel:Who said Jim Ovia or Lara Oshiomole was part of president Buhari's entourage? Did you see their names in the official list? What Buhari said was that he does not want Business men in his official meetings, this is not a business trip, But that order was flouted by the CBN governor. Buhari cannot dictate who Governor Oshiomole or any other member of his entourage decides to bring along on personal expense. |
barcanista:Why can't you people allow constituted authorities to do their jobs. Everything any officer or member of this administration does is immidiately subject to wailings and criticisms, even before the dust settles down to understand what is going on. When DSS under Jonathan was arresting opposition politicians and ransacking APC offices (even without a search warrant), tanoids were jubilating, now the same DSS got a search warrant to search Dasuki's residences for illegal weapons and other "incriminating" evidence, and you are here crying. A mere search (with supporting court warrant) is not an issue, the big issue is if Dasuki is unlawfully arrested or his rights impinged upon. When Wike was breaking into Amaechi's commisioners homes and seizing cars without a search warrant PDP and TANoids were hailing such moves, but if Buhari does the same, there would be wailings and gnashing of teeth. I do not support impunity from whichever quarter, but If Dasuki feels his rights has been abused, he should head to court the same way APC went to court over the illegal sealing and vandalization of their offices and even illegal detention of their workers by DSS. |
Why are you people so obsessed with Tinubu? If you have any case against Tinibu, send a petition to the appropriate authorities or better still take EFCC to court to compel them to prosecute Tinubu. There is no law in Nigeria to compel anyone to disclose his source of income or to account for his assets (this is a result of complicity by our law makers). So Dasuku owning 5 bullet proof cars or owning mansions cannot be evidence of stealing without actual evidence of fraud or sharp practices. But illegal possession of weapons is a serious crime in Nigeria. If Dasuki does not have permits for the weapons allegedly found in his house, then he is in serious trouble. Nigerians should always learn to be patient, wait for the full investigations tobe concluded and the case is taken to court before taking a position. |
Chibuhealth:Whish one consign you? Why will it pain you if a promising young girl and a boy decide to live together as room mates? Please face your life and allow others live their lives. Do you think you are better than those that married in school or you would be more successful than them in life? OP face your front. |
trapQ:Can't you read? Why the unnecessary hate for Nigerian men. The man ran away not because he is not ready to take responsibility, he ran away to avoid being jailed. It is a crime to get any other woman except your wife in UAE. It only takes one night of passion for you to be declared a criminal in UAE. What i do not understand is, what happens to the Baby and mother after the father has been jailed? who takes care of the baby? |
Martins301:This is the last time i would be educating you on Nigeria's Fiscal Federation. The Senate only approve Federal Government's Budget, it has no powers over the Federation account. The Federal Government presents the federal budget to the Senate, andn the Senate approves or modifies the Federal Budget as it deem fit. Meanwhile the State Assemblies also approves or modifies the state budgets. The National Budget you are talking about is the Federal Budget and not the Budget of the Federating units. I will not comment on this topic again, you can believe whatever you want to believe. |
