atbu1983:I'm a delta igbo frm Agbor in delta state. Can you stop using the word "we" when stating ur personal opinion abt Igbos. I don't have same view with you. So talk for urself . Moreover, Which part of SS are u frm ? |
atbu1983:You are absolutely spewing thrash which are clearly unrelated with the write up . Please direct your hatred else where, this is clearly not a tread for bigots like you. |
atbu1983:That doesn't change the fact that the SS and SE voted in mass for jonathan. We are not here to drag abt who gave buhari more vote b/w SS and SE. |
themilanway:You are actually the one wailing and It's so pathetic. If you hate my trend, simply open up your own. It's free of charge |
atbu1983:Saying that SE is Anti-north and hate buhari bcus of Civil war is entire your personal view. I strongly believe majority of SS don't harbor such myopic view. Bw : which tribe are you from in SS? |
atbu1983:Are you for real? Now answer this simple question of mine... Apart from Edo state, which other SS state gave buhari a tangible vote? |
oduastates:You are simply deceiving yourself if you say the SS didn't vote for Jonathan in mass, and that it's only the SE who did so. We all know that the SS and SE are the 5% buhari was talking about in America |
atbu1983:Am not talking about Edo state , rather am talking abt the entire SS . How many % did bayelsa, Rivers , cross river, delta gave ? |
After the last General election in which extreme majority of the SS and SE voted for PDP. Many political analyst, politicians e.t.c , have been criticizing the SS and SE as being bad political strategist and some even went on to say that they deserve less federal presence under the APC ruling party for their stupidity. I see this critics as rubbish, senseless and uncalled for . Any region in the shoes of SS and SE would had done the same thing they did; so why tag them as bad political strategist whom put all their eggs in one basket by voting for PDP in mass, while the other regions are pictured as better. SW and North are never better political strategist than SS and SE; so enough of the chest beating. Below are some conspicuous reasons why majority of SS and SE voted for PDP 1. Religion Issue : APC was seen by the SS and SE as a muslim party with a muslim agenda. This is quit understandable, because almost all their interior national leaders were muslim. SS and SE zone unlike the SW and North, are made up of majority christians (christian 98%- muslim 2%) , and the muslim domination of APC leadership was threatens them. www.nairaland.com/1341518/apc-islamist-party-check-out 2. PDP domination of SS and SE Zones : it's a known fact that the ruling political party in a state often influences the direction of the people's vote in the state during election. The SS and SE are made up of 11 states, and out of the 11 states only 3 states were under the ruling of APC , the rest was under PDP rulings except Anambra which was under APGA. Unlike in 2011 when jonathan contested, majority of the states in Nigeria were under PDP ruling, which explains why jonathan got vote in mass from different parts of country. 3. Buhari's Personality: Buhari has be accredited with numerous bigotry utterances relating to religion, which is seen as a threat by the Christian majority mostly from the SS and SE. Buhari had once said he will not relent in the struggle to ensure that sharia law covers the whole of Nigeria. And also he had once averred that a fight against boko haram is a fight against the North, coupled with the fact that boko haram once nominated him as their negotiating spokesman. Many of the people from the SS and SE zones want change away from PDP ruling, but sees buhari as a tribal and religious bigot and a no go area for them. If APC had present another candidate, believe me the case would have been different. And it's understandable. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-military-offensive-against-boko-haram-anti-north/149256/ 4. Tribe/Region: This is a general phenomenon and not limited to SS and SE. Most people in the North voted in mass for APC because of Buhari; most people in the SW voted in mass for APC because of Tinubu . Unlike the North and the SW, the SS and SE had no political giant in the fame of APC interior leadership. Most people in the SS and SE voted in mass for Jonathan because he is from the same region. This is a fact we can't deny. In 2011 presidential election, majority of the people from NE and NW voted in mass for buhari over jonathan , and even went ahead to create tension in their region when Jonathan was announce as the winner. Whether we like it or not the tribe and region of candidates play a big role during general elections. 5. Formation of APC : APC is a merger of CPC, ANPP and ACN. The CPC which stronghold is in the extreme Northern part of the country was formed in 2006 by General Muhammadu Buhari. The ANPP had it's stronghold also in the extreme North and a ruling party in kano. ACN had strong presence in the South West (5 Governors, 15 Senators and 6 State Houses), and a ruling party in Lagos. This explains why APC was seen as a Northern dominated Party, because it was obvious the North has upper hand in the control of the party. The APC has no SS and SE presence under it's formation caucus. |
APC and Propaganda are like bread and butter. We all know buhari's visit to America was fruitless, and APC has be feeding their gullible followers with lies upon lies just to hype buhari as a God. Buhari publish the list if you have and stop feeding poor Nigerians with thrash. |
Abugab:Igbo, are not only in the northern or south west, igbo are all over the world. They are in Ghana, cameroon ,name it... So don't think Igbos can't survive without Nigeria. Moreover why are u crying more than the bereaved? Nigeria is a forced union made possible by the brutal fire arm of a selfish white man called Lugard. |
Abugab:How is the problem of igbos from igbos? Has igbos not been surviving peacefully b4 lugard force them into a union called Nigeria? The fact is that the south and the North has entirely different political, religious and cultural values . Forced marriage never works. Pple should be allow to choose their life partner. |
Dharniel:Nigeria is a union created by force made possible by the fire arm of a white man called lugard. Just Like a forced marriage, nigeria union will not work. Pple should be allow to be on their own if they so desire. A White man from euro is not our God , he is a human like us . I can't believe a war was fought to maintain a forced creation of a white man. We africans is the cause of our own problem |
Truth4eva:People that wants to be on their own should be allowed to be.. Just like in marriage , a forced union never works. Its all going to be fight until one couple kills the other. Divorce is the best option |
nigerianium:The corruption among our politician is fueled by tribalism. Every tribe protects their politicians in the federal level no matter what. And any attempt to probe them is seen as witch hunting |
Abugab:Igbos have been massacred several times in the North. Oba of lagos had once threatened to drown the ones in his land . |
Nigeria is a forced union of pple made possible by the fire arm of a british man called lugard. Yet , some mofos are ready to kill themselves to maintain the forced contraption. |
Europeans began exploration, trade, and missionary endeavors along the West Coast of Africa in the 15th century. The Portuguese were the first to do so, establishing trade with the Benin Kingdom, Lagos, and other regions along the coast. Portuguese dominance of these trade routes was overpowered in the 16th century by the British, French and Dutch, as the slave trade became very important. Slaves were taken from Nigeria to work on plantations in the Americas. During this period, the territorial landscape known today as Nigeria lost great numbers of people to the slave trade. Some estimate that more than 3.5 million slaves were shipped from Nigeria lands to the Americas. The British dominated the slave trade off the Nigerian coast in the 18th century. But with the rise of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain in the 19th century, the emphasis in trade shifted from 'slaves' to 'raw materials' for factories. Most of these raw materials needed in the new industries were of large quantity in African soils, this fueled the european desire to invade African soils. In the 19th century, Great Britain began to push into the hinterlands of Nigeria , meeting plenty of resistance from the indigenous people along the way. The indigenous people were of no match to the superior fire arms of Great Britain. It is of note that many other European countries contended for control of the territorial lands of Nigeria before Britain gained control of it. Lagos was the first part of Nigeria to be conquered and declare a British colony in 1861. From there, the strategy to conquer the additional portions of what would be Nigeria was planned and executed until nearly all of what is today Nigeria was under British control in 1905. The entire southern portion of Nigeria was conquered from approximately 1850 to 1897, and the northern part of the country from about 1900 to 1914. As the British moved into the hinterland of Nigeria, they met a lot of resistance from the indigenous people living there. For example, Oyo and the Itsekiri kingdom in the south put up quite a fight before submitting to Britain’s military forces. In the north, the British High Commissioner for Northern Nigeria, Captain Lugard was appointed and began conquering northern territories . His military forces met with great resistance in Sokoto, Kano, and many other cities. In these places, many people rallied around Islam as a way of resisting the British. Most of Northern Nigeria at this time was part of the Sokoto Caliphate, which was formed through a series of jihads in the 19th century. The British were often seen as infidels, and their conquest as possible signs of the end times. Ironically, many British colonizers thought that Africans were the infidels, who needed to be converted to Christianity. In the end, the military resources and divide and conquer tactics of the British made them out to be the conquerors. After the entire Northern and Southern Nigeria had been conquered into submission. Lord Lugard joined for the first time the north and south of Nigeria into a single colony in 1914. Lord Lugard set in place a system of indirect rule in Nigeria, which allowed for the British to rule through customary authorities and structures. This system tended to work best in the north, but ran into some problems in the south. Part of the problem was that the British actually invented customary “chiefs” in the south, who the general population did not necessarily acknowledge or respect. It's of note that european invasion of African soil was solely born out of selfish reasons, and never for the well being of the indigenous people. This fueled the indigenous people's agitation for independence. https://exploringafrica.matrix.msu.edu/teachers/curriculum/m25/activity3.php https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_Nigeria |

Slaves were taken from Nigeria to work on plantations in the Americas. During this period, the territorial landscape known today as Nigeria lost great numbers of people to the slave trade. Some communities grew in size and power as commercial centers, while others suffered great losses through slave raids in which the indigenous people are hunt, captured and transported to European as slaves . Some estimate that over the course of the Atlantic Slave trade, more than 3.5 million slaves were shipped from Nigeria lands to the Americas. The British dominated the slave trade off the Nigerian coast in the 18th century. But with the rise of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain in the 19th century, the emphasis in trade shifted from slaves to raw materials for factories. The Atlantic slave trade was outlawed by the british in 1808. Most of these raw materials needed in the new industries are wasting in large quantities in African's soils, this fueled the europeans desire to invade Africa. In the 19th century, Great Britain began to push into the hinterlands of Nigeria , meeting plenty of resistance/fight from the indigenous people along the way.

Lord Lugard set in place a system of indirect rule in Nigeria, which allowed for the British to rule through customary authorities and structures. This system tended to work best in the north, but ran into some problems in the south. Part of the problem was that the British actually invented customary “chiefs” in the south, who the general population did not necessarily acknowledge or respect. The north and south of Nigeria were regions with very different histories, cultures, and religions. What joined them together was a common colonizer . Most of the north had been under Islamic rule through the Sokoto Caliphate, while converts to Islam in the south remained minimal. The early Christian missionaries decided to target their efforts on the non-Islamic south rather than the Islamic north. One of the consequences of this strategy was that the people in the north did not have as many opportunities for Western-style education as people in the south, since missionaries did not establish many schools in the north. This lead to substantial differences between northern and southern populations. As a colony, Nigeria experienced a good deal of growth in infrastructure and trade. Roads and railroads were built throughout the country. Communication became more rapid due to the telegraph and postal system. Cash crops such as rubber, peanuts, and palm oil were promoted in rural areas, and were sold and exported. Also involved in export was the expanding mining industry. In general, a cash economy was becoming increasingly important to Nigeria. This development and economic system that was set into place was mainly to benefit Europe, while exploiting the labor and resources of Nigeria. It is understandable, therefore, that there were significant resistance movements during the colonial period. The Nigerian people could see that the colonial system was not working for their benefit. They were taxed heavily and unable to move up the ladder to positions of privilege and power that the colonial administrators enjoyed. On many occasions, Nigerians resisted the colonial administration. For example, Igbo market women protested the British and their Nigerian collaborators’ attempts to impose taxes on their commerce in the Aba Women’s Tax Riots of 1929. A variety of unions and political associations also formed during the colonial period, as well as a growing group of intellectuals and professionals. These groups became major points of resistance to the colonial administration and formed a strong base in the nationalist movement for independence. Along with 16 other African nations, Nigeria became an independent country in 1960. Although Nigeria did achieve its independence, the negative side of the political organizing at this time was that it was accentuating ethnic and regional differences, which would cause conflict in Nigeria for the years to come. The most tragic of these conflicts was the Biafran civil war from 1967-1970 in which more than 1 million people died. Having suffered a massacre of Ibo people in the North, people in the Eastern Region of Nigeria (largely Ibo) tried to secede and become the Republic of Biafra. However, this region is rich in petroleum, making it valuable to the rest of Nigeria. Thus, the secession erupted into a 30-month war to see who would control this region. In the end, Nigeria maintained Biafra as a part of its territory. Since Nigeria’s return to democracy, it is generally agreed upon that Nigerians experience more freedom, liberty, and respect for human rights than was the case under past regimes. For example, people are not as afraid as they once were to speak out their opinions in public. Despite these positive developments, Nigeria has recently suffered from upsurges of conflict and violence from time to time. Some of these conflicts are related to natural resources, such as in the oil-rich Niger Delta. And other conflicts are over differences in religion or ethnic identity. For example, certain states in Northern Nigeria have implemented Muslim law (Shari’a) for Muslims, which has at times resulted in conflicts with non-Muslim residents of those states. Some of these new laws have also been sharply criticized as denying basic human rights to Nigerians. For example, the international community rose up in protest to the sentencing of a Nigerian Muslim woman named Amina Lawal to be stoned to death in 2002 because she bore a child out of wedlock. Fortunately, she was not stoned because her sentence was later quashed.

Forget about wailing or no wailing ... It's unconstitutional to appoint a retired member of an organization to head the same organization he retired from. The is just like appointing a retired police officer as Inspector General Police. The law provides that appointment of head of DSS should be a person within the organization, Mr. Lawal Daura has retired from service, and therefore he is no longer a member of the organization. |
Few days after his sacked colleague, Alex Badeh, revealed that the military under their leadership lacked equipment, immediate past Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah is also talking about their inability to conquer Boko Haram. While giving his valedictory address at the Pulling-Out ceremony held in commemoration of his retirement from service in Abuja yesterday August 5th, Minimah said the elites used the insurgency to further their sectional, political and religious interest. According to him, “The insurgency snowballed into a graver dimension because these people exploited the security challenge to further sectional, religious and political interests. In the last decade, we have seen the extent to which people who harbour evil against their fellow co-patriots can go to inflict pain and death on innocent people. This is the time for us to rise in unison not only to condemn but to take actions against the activities of the Boko Haram terrorists and other criminal elements in order to foster peace and security in our society. Perhaps, if we had all stood against the terrorists at the outset through condemnation of their activities and active collaboration with the military to confront them, rather than use it as a tool to advance section, tribal, religious and political interests, we would not have been where we find ourselves today. We must therefore all unite and support our government and security forces to tackle the current security challenges.”he said www.lindaikeji..co.ke/2015/08/former-chief-of-army-staff-minimah-has.html?m=1 |

Bite it off and swallow it so as to make sure it's never stitched back. Good for him though. OP are you the girl in the story? |
vedaxcool:Security agencies are trained to dictate someone with criminal intent by their facial expression .... That's why the ban on face veil is eminent. I don't know about banning clothes and cars. |
Recently, we have had news of ban on the use of face veil in some countries in line to counter terrorist attacks. Do you support the ban on wearing face veil in Nigeria ?

Everyday is for the thief, oneday is for the owner. If only the Nigeria security can track and arrest at least a good number of the dubious politicians looting the country dry. Politicians are the bigger thieves..but they always bribe themselves through. |
