Useless paid write up from an imposter, comparing Presidential election to Governorship election shows how daft u are, even mentionining Fashola, Fayime & co as potential presidential candidate just accertain the motive behind your paid useless write up.

Is he Nigerias problem because he mispelt the name?

No, he's Nigeria's problem because he's a bigoted imposter, hiding behind a name he/she couldn't as much as spell to add fuel to the already saturated polity in the country at the moment.

I won't say this op was paid to post or voice out his feelings on this biafra protest being propagated mostly by the bio youths from the southern eastern part of the country. He poured out my mind on this. I remember have in an argument with a neighbor telling him all this were politically motivated. Jonathan ruled for six good years, nothing significant to show for it. GMB is not up to a year and a lot of criticism coming from different angles. I still remember we having issues of fuel scarcity under GEJ and we got past it.
Am not in support of any party but I like seeing positives from any where.. I believe this administration have something to offer. and we should stop disrupting development with baseless demonstration just because some greedy politicians pay u stipends to obstruct peace in the name of agitating for a biafra state.....

If those two you mentioned represents the whole of the yoruba nations, then I can conveniently tell you that the numerous Igbos that have spoken against Biafra represents the whole Igbo nation.
The problem with you people is unnecessary generalization. Those people neither represent any political or social group in Yorubaland. They speak in their personal capacity and expressed personal opinions.
Show me any elected person in Yorubaland that have spoken against your wish.

These are yoruba leaders, same as awolowo who came out of imprisonment only to join the same north that imprisoned him as vice president and commissioner

If you dont need the South-East then why don't you want us to leave?

The fact is simple, you know that the brains are with the South-East.
Thats why we have the highest cut-off points.

You hate to see the South-East leave so u are scared.
You should be. grin

Your major problem lies in this your 'chest beating' attitude, which can only fetch you nothing but hatred going forward . The problem with you people is in 'you people'

Op you are a bloody paid agent!

The fact is that Igbo's have nothing to regret for not supporting APC and b00hari. We know that b00hari is a bloody tribal cum religious bigot. He has proven that through his actions and inactions since he came to office.

BTW, let me inform you that some of those past PDP governors you mentioned actually worked. I wouldn't know for T.A orji but I can attest to the fact that the duo of Chimaroke Nnamani and Sam Egwu performed while in office.

I am presently in an APC controlled state (Edo) and I know how bad things are here. IMO state is an APC controlled state, yet nothing to show for being under APC leadership in the state. I have been to Osun and Ogun states which are APC states, nothing is working there!

The point is that we should not completely demonize PDP as if APC is any better. Igbo's support PDP because APC failed in most of the states they govern. So, enough of all these senseless talks about Igbo's not moving on and bla bla bla. Igbo's are wise and are not easily moved by propaganda which is what APC is founded on.

Let APC prove themselves better than PDP, then they can get the support of the Igbo's. I rest my case.
My broda, i disagree with you for that chimaroke nnamani own. He no do anything for us rather he used Enugu state do okada business. He bought plenty jincheng carry am dey give people for hire-purchase after banning various brand of motocycle that were been used then.

I wonder what makes this guy believe he is an expert in South-East affairs. Some lone folk would just regurgitate same sentiments many people have held for many years and thinks he has made a lot of sense.

The OP has just written nonsense.

So because Bayelsa election is close to call, it means Bayelsans have jettisoned PDP?

Since you appear highly uninformed, let me educate you a bit. The Bayelsa gubernatorial election is a contest between an ex-governor in the person of Sylva - who was a governor for over 4 years and before then a speaker of the state assembly - and the incumbent governor Dickson who is seeking re-election. In this situation you do expect a landslide victory irrespective of party affiliations because both contestants are from the state and hold or have held very prominent positions in recent past so you expect each one of them to have there strongholds and loyalist.

Again the outcome of presidential elections are always different in pattern from that of gubernatorial election. For you to base your judgment on the outcome of the guber election in Bayelsa vis-avis that of the presidential election in the south east shows how shallow your thoughts are.

I don't have much time at the moment but I'll come back later to educate you more regarding this.

Bro, Chimaroke Nnamani relocated ESUT to its permanent site from the small piece of land that hitherto was the temporary site. Go to Agbani today and behold how beautiful ESUT has become thanks to the government of Chimaroke Nnamani. If you were raised in Enugu, you will agree with me that former parkland specialist hospital was in shambles before Chima came to office, but now the hospital has been given a facelift thanks Chima . Ebeano housing estate was done by Chimaroke. These are projects that have direct impacts on the lives of the people. I would have gone ahead to list more projects done by Chimaroke, but right now I am busy.

THE BAYELSA ELECTION, A LESSON FOR THE IGBOS:
I have been following events in the Bayelsa state since Saturday and I think it's high time we Igbos woke up and learn our lessons. What is happening in Bayelsa state shows that the Bayelsans have moved on. They are no longer tied to the apron of PDP and GEJ. That state is one of the smallest states in the country and it's the home state of the former president (GEJ), yet the result of the election held since Saturday have not been announced officially till now. I thought the PDP would have swept off the whole votes just like they did during the presidential election, but to my amazement the APC is also gathering considerable votes there. I know PDP may eventually emerge winner in the election, but my point is that we Igbos should wake up and stop crying more than the bereaved cos even the bereaved have moved on.
Other regions have moved on and have even started integrating themselves into this PMB administration to ensure they remain relevant and not schemed out if things, while some of my people are still holding themselves down and throwing hate speeches here and there.
Other region are already preparing for 2019, some are already gearing up for 2023, while my people have failed to arise and shake off GEJ and his failed administration. By 2019 now, we will begin to run helter-skelter and start last minute preparation and when we loose again, we will say we are hated by others but we forget that we are the ones holding ourselves down now that others are already preparing ahead.
The Igbos have enjoyed more "juicy" appointments in the past 16 years of this democratic dispensation, yet none of the appointees or elected officials performed exceptional well for us to present him/her as presidential candidate. But look at the likes of Fashola, Fayemi, Kwakwanso, El Rufai, etc they are all potential presidential candidates going forward cos their achievements speak for them. Tell me the achievements of. Orji Uzor Kalu, T.A Orji, Sam Egwu, Chimaroke Nnamani, Mbadinuju, etc.... none of them made a mark in their various states, yet we leave them and keep pointing fingers to other regions and saying they are our problem.
I advise we wake up and begin to align ourselves strategically with other region now cos we can never produce a president in this country if we continue like this.
While some misguided elements are busy shouting Biafra, and claiming that South south is part of their Biafra, the southsouth have denounced the whole Biafra thing publicly and I understand that just last weekend, Nyesom Wike of River State, named a stadium in River State after Yakubu Gowon. Does that not tell you something?
The golden rule says 'DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WILL LIKE THEM TO DO UNTO YOU'..... Love begat love, hate begat hate. Don't expect love from others when you give them hatred, don't expect them to vote for your candidate when you keep calling them animals that live in the zoo.
"Give and it shall be given unto you" whatever you give to others is what they will give back to you GOOD MEASURES, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKING TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER.
He who has ears let him hear, Wisdom is profitable to direct.... I rest my case...

When demand exceeds supply, the price has to go up to eliminate the excess.
We have many children in the south taking the unity school exams than in the
north. In a case where it's equality of states, the states that has lower numbers
of pupils taking the exams have to be encouraged with lower cut-off mark and
those with higher number turned off with higher cut-off marks. There is a limit to
the numbers of student they can take in a year and each state has to have equal
number of students. Let's assume they need 20 from north and 20 from the
south and we have like 500 students who took the exam from the south and only
50 from the north. The pupils who have higher scores from each zone will be
considered. Starting from the highest down until they reach the number of
required students for the zone. The student that is in the 20th position from the
south might score 150 while that of the north is 5. I think it's to keep some
section from dominating the unity school.

I hope this satisfy your ignorance. Let me add, cut off marks will never be used by any reasonable person to judge the brilliance of a section

Then why does the South-Waste abuse the South-East on Biafra and say ONE NIGERIA?

The South-Waste needs the South-East period, thats why The South-Waste wont let the South-East hold a peaceful demonstration.

YOU NEED US BUT WE DONT NEED YOU.

SO YOU NEED US TO STAY!!

Guy, calm down. All you need to do is conduct a content analysis on all the posts made by pro-Biafra supporters, on NL. They are usually the first to launch attacks against anyone who disagrees with their view. They engage in name-calling and derogatory propaganda against other ethnic groups, and anyone who does not share their perspective is automatically labelled a Yoruba man, while any Igbo chap that declines to pitch his tent with them is tagged an efulefu. undecided Is that fair?? shocked

And this leads other groups to retaliate, by responding to them in a similar fashion. So don't get worked up. There is really no need for the South-East to conduct a peaceful demonstration in the South-West, since the South-West is definitely not going to be carved into the South East or Bia'fraland, any time soon. Just ask your SE senators to move a motion in the National Assembly to support your cause. That's all. cool

ebosed:
My advice to you. Be open to constructive criticism. My most trusted friend on earth is Ibo. I am yoruba. I was born and brought up in Kaduna. The major problem of the lbos is that everyone is a leader and King, nobody want to be led. There are 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria, and for an Ibo to become president, two things must happen. 1. The Ibos must team up with at least, 3 other political zone, by soliciting their support and earning their trust like my friend. 2. Providence, like the one that brought GEJ to power. But 2 still depends on 1.

Anything other than this would be mere wishes. Azikiwe and Alex Ekweme understood this while Awolowo was busy wasting away.

You need others to succeed or secede.

True talk! Collect one bowl of nkwobi from Mama Obinna when you get to the bar! cool
