The root causes of this (listed in order of importance by my opinion) which needs to be addressed are
1)The impression (which is true) that politics/being in govt is a way to amass great wealth instantaneously
2)Lack of security
3)Unemployment


Until these are addressed, esp the first one, political assasination will continue

With more Churches and Mosques than any nation in the World, we are more devilish and evil.

Pornodude:

ignorant fools!!! must every thread in the political section boils down to being tribal-related?

as the fee-dee-fee (PDP) has been known to be; killings, assassinations, rigging, and most recently, bombings have been a favorite past-time so i wouldnt be surprised if this is one of their acts.

for the idiots that feel this is tribal-related, what would an igbo or yoruba man gain from killing this governorship aspirant? abeg use your heads for once. ok?

R.I.P dude. one down, many more to go. 

thought:


That is why we all are where you are. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , even in the developed countries you still have assassins. I guess Yorubas are "out of this world" then. This precisely is the crux of the matter in Nigeria, we leave the issue at hand and pursue trivial ethnic allegiances that move the country as a unit no where. The Igbo man is a superstar, the Hausa man is a superstar, the Yoruba man is a superstar and every tribe, yet collectively you can do nothing, . . . . . . . . .See your country. . . . . . . . . ,  ., and while the discussion is about the killed governorship candidate you are more interested in "Jack is more sophisticated than Jill" , This is why Nigeria as a country can never progress, The president of the US has his origin in Kenya, yet he is the president of the US. Not until Nigerians see the next person as a brother notwithstanding his tribe/ ethnicity or religious orientation we would not move forward.

I mean. . . . . . . . . . . . . . I get irritated anytime I see learned people stoop so low when is comes to matters of tribe, . ,  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . its a shame,

Whether the man was killed for political reasons, by Boko Haram, OPC, Bakassi Boys, Egbesu, MEND, whatever or whoever, what is certain is that a human being has been killed and this only goes to highlight the failure of the Nigerian State, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .May God help us.


Why are you quoting him out of context?he's simply telling you not to compare yoruba with boko haram,which i agree with

we are not the same in any way,the way they think is quite different from ours

I hope when you all get to heaven you tell God you are a Yoruba or Hausa or Igbo man and should be placed in special areas, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .please enough of all these tribalism trash,

Mr. Facts; so what are the facts
I am appalled by the no. of comments by Igbos accusing the north of murdering Igbos, one even talked about 1966 May be Igbos should be reminded that they were at war with Nigeria and not just the North; in fact it was Awolowo's brilliant idea ("starve the Igbos of food) that brought an end to the war.Also the Igbos murdered Nigerian soldiers with impunity both Northerners and non-northerners; and The genesis of the war was as a result of insensitivities by some Igbo Military officers. So stop all these spread of hate; Igbos enjoy their lives better in the North than what the northerners face in the east; I ve' witnessed this first-hand, their women are continuously taunted and harassed (pulling their head covers is very common) in the east, they are abused and insulted at will.
