You see your life@francizy; I read her mind more than you ...To you; softsparky; there's division of labour everywhere...So you continue with reading and liking of comments while I bash francizy with comments here

softysparky:

Lol....easy on him though.

Obiagelli:

The pdp and the Apc should be the only political blocs not regions. All these region things is the lazy man's tool is to play on people's emotions. Politics is about political parties not region. Gej paid dearly for it, same thing happened to jimi agbaje. Don't we ever learn.

Very Important:
1. If you are an Igbo Supremacist, Ijaw Supremacist, Urhobo Supremacist, Efik Supremacist, Ikwerre Supremacist, Ibibio Supremacist or any other tribal supremacist, this thread is NOT for you. Though we will be glad to see everyone drop their supremacist ideology.

2. We don't need to be violent to get what we want. If you are a promoter of violence, please drop the idea and embrace strategic and non violent means. The West(Yorubas) is a typical example of pursuing an interest without firing a single bullet. It is not cowardice to be strategic, it is not bravery to be violent.

3. To people of non-eastern origin, this thread is neither an Eastern supremacist thread nor a racist thread. It is a thread that is aimed at promoting the socio-political and economic interests of the "easterners" within the Nigeria State(similar to Afenifere Renewal Group and Northern Groups).

4. The term "easterners" include our brother in the defunct Mid-western region I.e Present day Edo and Delta States. It does not exclude those with "eastern" origin in diaspora.

Chigold101: Being an opinion article by President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, as published in yesterday’s edition of New York Times.

ABUJA— When Boko Haram attacked a school in the town of Chibok, in northeastern Nigeria, kidnapping more than 200 girls, on the night of April 14, 2014, the people of my country were aghast. Across the world, millions of people joined them in asking: How was it possible for this terrorist group to act with such impunity? It took nearly two weeks before the government even commented on the crime.

This lack of reaction was symptomatic of why the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan was swept aside last month – the first time an incumbent president has been successfully voted out of office in the history of our nation. For too long they ruled, not governed, and in doing so had become so focused on their own self-interest and embroiled in corruption that the duty to react to the anguish suffered by their citizens had become alien to them.

My administration, which will take office on May 29, will act differently – indeed it is the very reason we have been elected. This must begin with honesty as to whether the Chibok girls can be rescued. Currently their whereabouts remain unknown. We do not know the state of their health or welfare, or whether they are even still together or alive. As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find them: to do so would be to offer unfounded hope, only to compound the grief if, later, we find we cannot match such expectation. But I say to every parent, family member and friend of the children that my government will do everything in its power to bring them home.

What I can pledge, with absolute certainty, is that from the first day of my administration, Boko Haram will know the strength of our collective will and commitment to rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace and normalcy to all the affected areas. Until now, Nigeria has been wanting in its response to their threat: With our neighbours fighting hard to push the terrorists south and out of their countries, our military was not sufficiently supported or equipped to push north. As a consequence, the outgoing government’s lack of determination was an accidental enabler of the group, allowing them to operate with impunity in Nigerian territory.

That is why the answer to defeating Boko Haram begins and ends with Nigeria. That is not to say that allies cannot help us. My administration would welcome the resumption of a military training agreement with the United States, which was halted during the previous administration. We must, of course, have better coordination with the military campaigns our African allies, like Chad and Niger, are waging in the struggle against Boko Haram. But, in the end, the answer to this threat must come from within Nigeria.

We must start by deploying more troops to the front and away from civilian areas in central and southern Nigeria where for too long they have been used by successive governments to quell dissent. We must work closer with our neighbors in coordinating our military efforts so an offensive by one army does not see their country’s lands rid of Boko Haram only to push it across the border onto their neighbors’ territory.

But as our military pushes Boko Haram back, as it will, we must be ready to focus on what else must be done to counter the terrorists. We must address why it is that young people join Boko Haram. There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among them are poverty and ignorance.

Indeed Boko Haram – which translates in English, roughly, as “Western Education Is Sinful” – preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful.

Promise of food

If you are starving and young, and in search of answers as to why your life is so difficult, fundamentalism can be alluring. We know this for a fact because former members of Boko Haram have admitted it: They offer impressionable young people money and the promise of food, while the group’s mentors twist their minds with fanaticism. So we must be ready to offer the parts of our country affected by this group an alternative.

Boosting education will be a direct counterbalance to Boko Haram’s appeal. In particular we must educate more young girls, ensuring they will grow up to be empowered through learning to play their full part as citizens of Nigeria and pull themselves up and out of poverty. Indeed, we owe it to the schoolgirls of Chibok to provide as best an education as possible for their fellow young citizens.

Boko Haram feeds off despair. It feeds off a lack of hope that things can improve. By attacking a site of learning, and kidnapping more than 200 schoolgirls, it sought to strike at the very place where hope for the future is nurtured, and the promise of a better Nigeria. It is our intention to show Boko Haram that it will not succeed. My government will first act to defeat it militarily and then ensure that we provide the very education it despises to help our people help themselves. Boko Haram will soon learn that, as Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Go back to my comments on this same thread you will realize how wrong you are. Even Eurobomber has recounted.

all what am saying is that igbos should stop associating their struggles with the south south..if biafra shud succeed today don't fink we a part of it as we to want our own freedom...igbos are eyeing our oil you think we don't know...no wonder people. Call it Biafra

Umu azi á egbuto si go'm! SmH..

LoL, OK, I see you're more like a spectator here but a striker at the Romance section @Softy

Whynotthetruth, before I go further in addressing your case, post you name biko.. I don tire to dey type this ya long moniker

Psychedelia:
This Barcanista fellow has got to be dumbest eediot of the month for this thread, and I feel sorry for anyone indulging him. Really? It's "South East and South South" now?
Mind reminding us who made this post in 2013?



So, pray tell, who is doing the Attachee-by-force today?
Did the reality finally dawn on you after the near universal rejection of Jonathan across the country (even among the 'Middle Belt Minorities' you were so banking on) save for the South-East states?
Now, feeling heavily rejected, you're suddenly brothers with the SE, charting some political cause. Awwww! So touching.

But a few things you must get through your cranium, Mr. Izon Commando:

1. There is no such thing as "SE/SS". There is just a geopolitical region known as SE (made up of Ndigbo) and ANOTHER region known as SS (made up of numerous ethnic nations united by crude oil), so cut the bulllshit.

2. A vote for Jonathan is not necessarily an endorsement of the "Izon Nation" or some sort of regional solidarity. People voted Jonathan for various reasons. For some, it could be tribal, for some it could be pecuniary, for some it could be strategic, for some it could be an outright rejection of Buhari as a man and an administrator, and for some others (if you're in my case) an endorsement of a level-playing field and a strong support for economic capitalism. If you support Jonathan for tribal reasons, good for you. Just celebrate your failure alone and stop trying to bundle others under some rubric of "SE/SS" for your dead goal.

And finally,
3. That "Old Eastern Region" of yours ceased to exist in the 60's at the request of many including YOUR "SS" village champions. If the Izons want something, let them stand on their own and agitate for it instead of looking for others to help them fight. Within the last four years, the sole beneficiaries from the so called Niger Delta struggle were still the ijaw ex-militants while the other groups like the Itshekiris were relegated to the waste bin. Rivers State oil wells were ceded to Bayelsa. Even last year, there were talks of Akwa ibom lands belonging to Izons... the juicy oil producing plots too.
Now that the party is over, you suddenly remember "SE/SS". What a joker you are.
Quit the ATTACHEE-BY-FORCE and stand on your own, lazy bum!

Yes because these other people conspired against them...why would Yoruba reject Jimi who's more sound simply because Igbo people supported his candidacy...Is Jimi not pure lagosian as against Ambode/Tinubu/Fashola who aren't lagosians?...Is it about real and good governance or about what principally?... You are simply against this aspiration because you support APC and see this movement as something that will hurt your party intolerance to opposition and undemocratic tendencies...

Bro, I don't think the Igbos need your oils.. Igbos are too business minded and you will always depend on us to survive. At least we make sure cosmetics, spare parts, cloths, jewelries, food stuffs, etc, are there for you to purchase with your oil money.

Keep your oil to yourself...
