izzy4shizzy:Walahi! ![]() |
Sleekfingers:I don't know if there are 'sleeper cells' operating down south, but you're right in saying that a lot of northerners (and this includes illegal immigrants form Niger, Chad, etc) have relocated down south since 2015, and many of them have headed to commercial/industrial centres like Lagos, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Onitsha and Aba! |
livelymatilda22:A people, especially a republican and independent-minded people like Ndigbo, can never be expected to think alike! If you want to know what the overwhelming sentiment on any given issue is, then conduct a referendum? Or are you saying the issues facing us in Nigeria today (for which blood has been spilt) are not critical enough for a referendum? Ask yourself why one hasn't been granted like we've seen done in more enlightened and liberal societies! Among Ndigbo, there are those who yearn for Biafra more than anything else, and there are those who are sitting on the fence and willing to give 'one Nigeria' the benefit of the doubt! It's largely the latter you see having interest in 2019, and unsurprisingly most of them have thrown their weight behind the Atiku/Obi candidacy. I doubt many of them would have queued up behind PDP if Atiku had picked a non Igbo.....especially if he had picked a Yoruba, ignoring the fact that the South East is a stronger Atiku/PDP base than the South West is! Now knowing how Ndigbo have fared in the political-economy of Nigeria from 1966 to date, where no Igbo has been 'lucky' or allowed to be head of state, and other ethincities, regions and even states (like Katsina) have had a disproportionate 'bite at the cherry', are you trying to tell me you're surprised those Igbos still having some faith in 'one Nigeria' have decided to support Atikus' candidacy? |
LORDLARGE:You don't know these people! You think they care about the 'little' issue of almost all socio-economic indices heading south since 2015? This is one of the reasons i give up on Nigeria; that the more enlightened south can be held to ransom by the greedy and power-hungry northern muslim political elite who use all sorts of subterfuge and a rigged political process to cling on to power! Control of the centre is all these mofos care about! It's been like this for them since 1960, and this is why Nigeria is the joke it is today.....that its governance is in the hands of a people just not equipped to take us to the level of the Singapores, Japans and even Rwandas of this world! ![]() |
Bede2u:You'd be surprised! I wager the guy is a fulani; one of those with the mindset that Nigeria belongs to them, and that Ndigbo are a conquered people and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Aso Rock! A huge part of their grouse with Atiku is that he picked a 'nyamuree' as running mate....same 'nyamuree' that they can't envision a life without! ![]() |
If they're going to discuss all this stuff, then i'm struggling to know just what Buhari/APC campaigned with in the south-east pre-2015 elections! Or are they (APC) going to promise these same projects again for 2019?....That's depending on if the south-east vote APC this time around! |
God...how i hate this useless form of 'federalism' practiced in Nigeria, where governors have to go and genuflect before the all powerful god in Abuja! The situation is made all the more pathetic when the god is one that despises you! Effing joke! ![]() |
Roger3D:When did they vow that one?....And they voted for Buhari in 2015!? ![]() |
melodyogonna:Spot on! |
He probably thought that was the National Assembly in Abuja, and he wanted to do an 'Omo-Agege' on them, but they were waiting for him at the gates with a cure to his madness! |
Buhari is bound to have his supporters....no surprises as even the devil has cheerleaders! However, any Igbo that votes for Buhari next year deserves to be shot! |
anonymuz:Never mind Namibia...who can help with Somalia visa! ![]() |
globexpo:They're probably not Nigerians! ![]() |
SilentListener:Why grinning from ear to ear like a deranged Cheshire Cat? What guarantee can you give that the mofo is actually from Akwa Ibom? I could just as easily claim i'm from Timbuktu! |
bedfordking:It probably has something to do with Bayelsa and Rivers being two separate and distinct states! ![]() |
That's a little over $200 million. So how much do they think it should cost, bearing in mind it's a airport built from scratch on marshy virgin land in which flood defences would have to be considered! |
Born2Breed:Why agonising over what 'Ibo' want or don't want? How is it your business? If anyone thinks Ndigbo are one of those groups that obsess and scheme how to control the presidency 24/7, then they don't know us? Those that think that way, how has their greed and thirst for power changed the fortunes of their people in particular and Nigeria in general? There are some that have had a disproportionate chance to govern/rule Nigeria, and seeing the mess they've made of it, it's obvious their obsession about controlling the keys to Aso Rock is anything but noble! |
TheGreenLand:It's just like satan placing a curse on me! Ooooh...so so scared! Dude, go screw yourself! |
hammerFC:I just noticed something else. Check out the trimmed and well shaped side-burn on the the face of the person in the first pic; then take a look at the second pic of the person that looks older and more wrinkled...the side-burn hair doesn't even descend as low like in the first pic, so there's nothing to trim and shape with clippers! |
TheGreenLand:Please zip it! Your so called president (whether he's Buhari or Jubril) is evil, and he wouldn't be missed if he kicks the bucket tomorrow! |
nonut:When hell freezes over! ![]() |
kingkakaone:Check the height difference of Buhari in the two pics when standing next to Saraki. ![]() |
The state of anomie! |
MrWondah:Buharis' new media propagandists would read this tweet from Atiku in frustration and say 'damn, he beat us to it.....again'! ![]() |
T9ksy:Well i don't know about 'slimy', but i'm with you on his naivety in feeling it's ok to form a country with bigots and primitive-minded savages! I'm cutting him some slack though, given the pan-Nigerian nature of his early years! You know Zik was fluent in speaking the three main Nigerian languages? ![]() |
Way to go Nostradamus! ![]() |
Optional09:Hehehehe ![]() I'd be lying if i say i haven't noticed it as well! ![]() |
Donelli:The man was just too much of an idealist, and of all the three main ethnic groups it's his own people that are being cheated the most in this cursed 'one Nigeria' experiment! |
policy12:And we're busy doing useless politics we've been doing since 1960 which has gotten us nowhere! |
Knowing what we know of this present Buhari/APC gov't, we can safely assert that this ruling is not worth more than the paper it's written on! It's just legalistic mumbo-jumbo, and has no effect outside the court room it was delivered! ![]() |
dukie25:He wants to control it out of pure avarice and to be in a position to dispense favours to whoever he pleases! Being the de-facto minister of petroleum also helps the Arewa agenda of searching undisturbed for that elusive oyel in the north! |
