yes! It is pay back time for the Igbo. What you wish others is what you get. When Jonathan Good luck was in power, the Igbo held sway, they were in strategic position in power, from the chief of army staff to minister of finance, from petroleum to aviation, from stock exchange director to energy. Every complaint by other Nigerians were brushed aside by the popular axion:" we are only writing the wrong of the past".
The Igbo were at the forefront of pushing Jonathan in declaring a state of emergency in the three northeastern states: borno, Adamawa and yobe. Chief of army staff, ihiejerika, an Igbo man precised over the whole massacre of over two thousand people at baga, with the pretext of crushing book haram. General shuwa was diabolically killed, a death book haram never claimed responsibility, an attack on buhari, book haram never claimed responsibility. All these ipob agitation is an attempt by Igbo to cover up their past atrocities. Unfortunately for them, they dealing with hausa-Fulani, an ethnic group that never forget.in fact they trained to remember.
As long as Nigeria continues to use naira, Igbo can never rule Nigeria because naira simply mean NEVER ALLOW IGBO RULE AGAIN.

You are talking trash. @the bolded shows your level of intelligence and literacy. It's people like you that distort history due to ignorance and /or stupidity.

And the python cannot dance in the NE where the drum beats are really loud and also 'melodious'?

To these people there is only North and South of Nigeria. Now they are having their ' referendum ' on how to handle the South. But some Southerners are ever willing to ally with them for the sake of sharing the booty or the crumbs given to them .
We cannot continue building on this defective /faulty foundation called the 1999 Constitution. Amend and patch it all you can, it won't work much longer because it is very lopsided and WE THE PEOPLE didn't midwife it. It cannot even pass the Rotarians 4 way test.

How they understand him while talking without an interpreter still beats my imagination.

Like who will understand "in za Oza room."

Please can't Prof "Osinbade" (his able vice) go and read whatever he wants to say to the UN Assembly while he recuperates fully. I foresee further blunders and embarrassing statements about Nigeria if he is interviewed by foreign press. Abi na lie?

“But, if you say that we should go back to 1963, that will be something that will be difficult to sustain. Just like the National Assembly is on the verge of amending the constitution, we can look at areas we think should be amended and make the necessary recommendations".

The whole Constitution is faulty from the beginning to the end. We need a new one produced by "We the people" in the real sense of the word. You are referring to the National Assembly because you are in the majority and will always vote against any amendment that doesn't favour the North. If you must, amend the Constitution to call for a Referendum since you are not selfish and the main beneficiary of the present one. Or are you afraid of losing your dominance on the affairs of the country?

Let him initiate the restructuring of Nigeria through a referendum and I will endorse him even for a third term. (As a soldier, he was primarily trained to 'FIGHT' and that is what he has been doing). But as a democrat which he now claims to be, this will be his greatest achievement. 2019 without restructuring?

We in the Senate are happy about the report by the Governors and party leaders who recently visited President Buhari in London and we know he will soon return to continue to provide leadership to our people and the rest of Africa.

.
Really?
I'd rather say that you ( the cabal) are more comfortable and happy with his absence. What's that saying about " When the cat is away.. ................
As it is now, we have two captains manning Nigeria's ship of state - The inactive President ( The Presidency) that overrules/overshadows the active acting president. For how long? That's what the protest is all about.

Why not use correct algebraic expressions. What sort of Mathematics are you propounding. You can't replace alphabetic algebraic expression with objects without putting the function between them
So replacing humans with the Naira, you are saying :
#500 + #500 =#1000.
How can you then say #500#500 = #250,000 and you want us to assume you mean #500 * #500 ?
No matter how you place them you have just two #500. Whereas if you had used x, y or z, xx becomes x squared.
How do you square objects (humans) ?
QED.

If you don’t fight for your rights, then don’t blame me for taking it from you.

Really?
And when he fights, it's you that does the blaming (Biafra and Niger Delta on my mind) .

To these people there is only North and South of Nigeria. Now they are having their ' referendum ' on how to handle the South. And some deceitful Southerners are ever willing to ally with them for the sake of sharing the booty from .........you know now.

I can understand the visitors' inability to talk because shock/disbelief makes someone speechless. "Their eyes must have seen their ears" as the saying goes.

This is exactly what I have been campaigning for.
The greatest achievement of the present National Assembly will be to amend our Constitution to include a REFERENDUM to be attended by the SIX GEOPOLITICAL ZONES as the delegates. The referendum will produce the new constitution while the present one subsists in the INTERIM.
But the problem is : Will the present politicians like the governors and the legislators let go of their 'kingdoms' for the new structure?
Yes they can : If " WE THE PEOPLE "prod them with mass protests and demonstrations.
The present foundation/constitution is faulty and lopsided and is already shaking. What will you call someone who continues to build on a defective /faulty foundation? It's better to pull it down and lay a very new solid foundation/constitution where EQUITY and JUSTICE will be the building blocks.

The North and their military leaders have been the main beneficiaries of Nzeogwu's blunder and Ironsi's Unitary Government mistake. And they keep blaming all the Igbos. Did the Igbos have a meeting to plan the coup of 1966? Never. It was purely a military affair. They removed Ironsi BUT built on his mistake. And here we are.
We must go back to the pre military era with the SIX GEOPOLITICAL ZONES as the federating units. With this, we still have ONE NIGERIA and, believe me, the agitation for Biafra and Niger Delta will cease.
Remember the Aburi Accord? It's time we revisit that document because if it was implemented, there would have been no Biafra! Yes?
We are still under Military rule through the Constitution they imposed on us which favours a section of the country more than the others.
Don't you think that the Quota System is one area that is outrageous and needs serious restructuring? Which progressive countries ever practise such a system which sacrifices MERIT for the sake of the "disadvantaged areas".
When we restructure, we will have the present SIX GEOPOLITICAL ZONES as the federating units --Biafra State, Oduduwa State, SS State ( or whatever they choose to answer), Arewa East , Central and West States as the six federal units.
The greatest achievement of the present National Assembly will be to amend our Constitution to include a REFERENDUM to be attended by these zones as the delegates.

Yes they can : If they mean well for the country.

Most Nigerians are not angry because Buhari is alive. Far from it. They are angry because of all the controversies and secrecy about his sickness and the way things are happening in the country due to his very looong absence. Okay? For example, that delegation had to use tax payers money to go see him and all we see is them having lunch. No video conversation footage. And you want Nigerians to clap for them?

See how these people are so united that they always talk of THE NORTH. That means , to them, there is only North and South of Nigeria. The Yorubas should not assume that forming political alliance with them has removed their North - South mentality.It is the South that divides itself for the North to rule / dominate them.
If the South is as half united as the North, I bet you, the Abokis will think twice before making any arrogant statements/threats.
When the chips are down, all Southerners are the same to a typical core Northern Hausa Fulani.
Is this not obvious to the Yorubas yet?

Now that the game is up for Sheriff, will he still remain in PDP or quit? His next move will show his real character and motives.
Sorry, I didn't notice. Did he congratulate the winner after the judgement was delivered?

Nobody is seceding to anywhere. But there will be Biafra State as one of the six federal units from the present six geopolitical zones.
We cannot continue with the present lopsided Military Constitution. Where else on earth is the Quota System with all it connotes and produces ever practised?
A referendum to actualise these six states as the foundation of a new Constitution should be everyone's concern under ONE NIGERIA.
The greatest achievement of the present National Assembly will be to amend our Constitution to include a Referendum because it has now become a necessity. Will they do it or will their present comfort be more important to them than the Sovereignty of our country which the Referendum guarantees.
Shame to those that hope to reap from other people's sweat in the event that the country breaks up.
I repeat : Nobody is seceding.

I have dumped my Etisalat SIM card for now. Let them again promise me #3,000 data and #1,000 airtime if I have not used the SIM for one month - provided I recharge with #200 and above. A promise that was never kept. I tried it and ' lost ' #400.

When your Landlord/Landlady always threaten you with issuing "Quit Notice " at the slightest misunderstanding between both of you. It is very annoying.
Pray hard to build your own house.

Please is the the letter addressed to :

Your Excellency, Mr Buhari

OR

Your Excellency, Mr President

Just asking.

Sirs, don't you think that the Quota System is one area that is outrageous and needs serious restructuring?
When we restructure, we will have Biafra State, Oduduwa State, SS State ( or whatever they choose to answer), Arewa East , Central and West States as the six federal units. This is what obtains in the United STATES of America with their different identity names - like Florida, Michigan, Texas etc etc.
But the problem is : Will the present politicians like the governors and the legislators let go of their 'kingdoms' for the new structure?
Yes they can : By FORCE.

The North led by their military leaders are the main beneficiaries of Nzeogwu's blunder and Ironsi's Unitary government mistake. Shouldn't they thank these two gallant soldiers.

Agreed. He addressed the Moslems on the occasion of the Sallah celebration.
But do the Yoruba Moslems understand Hausa language? Maybe Osinbade should consider addressing us once in a while in Yoruba language -whether he is speaking through the BBC, NTA or AIT. Yes?

Irony of life. Someone sought to be president in 2003, 2007, 2011 and eventually, somehow, got elected in 2015. Twenty months later though alive can no longer preside. What a pity. I'm sorry, sir. I can imagine how you feel.

Christ Himself is the Church. " If you love me, keep my commandments, carry your cross and follow me ". By the way which of the hundreds of churches singing discordant tunes should one go to?
You don't need to go to any church to "Love thy neighbor as yourself ".

These people are angry because the Northerners doing business in the SE were 'forced' to sit at home on 30th May - Biafra remembrance day.
Come to Lagos and observe how traders who are predominantly Igbos must close their businesses any day or days the natives have one traditional ceremony or the other. Yet nobody complains.
