with due respect to bishop, my question is how come now gej a niger deltan is in power that we ae seeing all this foreseing , obj was in power and yaradua and no body did revolution .

That is Yorubaman with their deceptive wide mouth, trying to incite people against Jonathan because his dirty Yoruba tribe are no more useful in the affairs of this country, Nigerians relegated and rejected them.

@Beaf, i don't understand this your new ID ooh!

I don't know what to say. . . I remember watching Silvebird on Tv where Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was addressing the attendees at Silverbirds anniversary and he said something that will become a reality very soon. A cold silence enveloped the room and the attendee were laser focused on him.

I can't remember it actually but what it means is that if the people in power keep neglecting the pains and agony of the populace, a time will come when their family will be attacked by angry citizens and killed in the act. He said that the citizens are watching and are taking notes. He said they could ambush their children on their way to school or coming back and burn them to arshes. He said and was pointing to the audience. I have never seen any high profiled Nigerian speak in that manner but I knew that is the time bomb waiting to explode. To me, that is prophecy and will come to pass and the end result might lead to a break.

Yorubas are the Problem with Nigeria - By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

i. The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
ii. Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
iii. The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.

See also The Adulteress' Diary by Lamido Sanusi

My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History"  (Aug. 21, 1998).
In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.
[b]The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.
When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.[/b]


Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the  South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities.  This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.

I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.

iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution.

The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi.  Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.

Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.

After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.

If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems.

My broda, what has amnesty got to do with false prophets na? Did you eat, abi na tiredness?

 
i eat and i no tire oh!!!


My broda, what has amnesty got to do with false prophets na?
The same thing Oyedepo has got to do with innocent Muslims being being threatened in the ND. an action u supported on that thread.

Oh Oyedepo should just shove it mate. When in such a religious country as Nigeria, pastors should be the one leading the revolution, they are the ones fearing it. Make everybody face their job until the time come. The only thing of importance to Oyedepo is tithes, let him keep that lane. When the time comes he will need the money to buy tv air time and new ways to scam the faithful.

On target!

SS/SE should be wise and ready  for any eventuality
this is the grand  style of SW  to incite the North to topple this regime so that they can  allied with the north to  loot all the resources of  easterners
But we are waiting for them
let them try that nonsense
so now dey don de see vision and God don de talk to them now
before God de sleep na now he wake up to spoke to them
Let them keep on inciting butt this time na them go suffer am
this is not 1966
we are waiting and ready for them

stupid bunch of cowards

Why are you so at ease with telling lies? Is it genetic?
I was the very first to condemn the action on that thread. That said, we are well ready for any consequences it might bring, battle hardened and phucking determined. So, bring it on.

God help us.

We shall have to wait and see about that.

may it happen so quickly!

I just hope GEJ listen to the voice of reason. If he fails to, it will forever be on RECORD that, the first time a Niger Deltan mouthed the Leadership of Nigeria, the entity called Nigeria collapse. May God postpone the evil day now.

A revolution is inevitable with d way things r going.even my 12yr old nephew knows dat.d question is when?

I think all these fake prophets are getting intoxicated by their loots. The other day it was TB Joshua, today it's Oyedepo. How better are they than the politicians they are castigating?

They brainwash people to part with their hard-earned money in return for "supernatural blessings" while they use the tithe and offerings to live like kings on earth. Is there any among them that doesn't own a private jet, Private University, bullet-proof cars, security escorts, etc, etc. while their followers wallow in abject poverty? I get so really upset when all these pulpit thieves venture out of their looting domains to give unsolicited predictions.

And by the way, who needs a "prophet" to know a revolution is imminent going by the current trend of things?

I wonder what there is to be proud of in Nigeria. Is it the fact that you slowpokes ( ) cannot even pay for your own shiit without recourse to oil? Let the place dissolve, who really cares? You will only be doing us a favour and picking up the begging bowl as the new Somalia.

Is it not obvious?? With the way things are going, it will soon become unbearable for EVERYONE. It has nothing to do with GEJ.
I wonder why some Igbos on this forum are crying more than the ND themselves and trying to instigate everyone against the Yorubas , its highly unintelligent. Poverty does not know an Emeka and an Olu.

Beaf, deep down, you know you want radical change, wether through revolution or not, wether via GEJ, CIA or  Tompolo.

You know there is gross injustice and it may take nothing but a radical push to change things.

The anger is brewing bro. I hope GEJ can take advantage of it and go from a soso leader to a hero.

GEJ can do these things, he needs to think a little bit bigger a little bit more radical. You know you want him to.

You don't need a sorcerer to tell you that when people are angry they can do the unthinkable. And i am a poster also and i can tell you point black that Nigeria Insecurity,  Darkness no constant electricity,  the new increase in fuel price ,  and Massive poverty rate increase ,  Is going to course  a BIG problem in Nigeria,  I pray Let Nigeria Government give Listening Ears to the Masses,  That's the Solution and a WayOut,

Let Government reduce the price of fuel instead of increasing the fuel price, LET GOVERNMENT EVEN REDUCE FUEL PRICE INSTEAD OF INCREASING FUEL PRICE, There is Money in Nigeria. The Foreign Reserve is Okay,  Why is Government going to increase the price if FUEL,  THIS I FOR SEE,  THE Starting of REVOLUTION, in Nigeria, But let God prevail , in Jesus name.Amen

^^^
In other words more corruption is the solution?

We do not need revolution now, what we need is a change of attitude,brotherliness and sincere to each other no matter your tribe.

lwkmd! na so u hate them reach?, have u forgotten that they have Lagos with air port, sea port, rail way which were built with ND oil money, atleast they go dey chop 4rm there.

T.B Joshua said the same on Sunday, the 16th of this month.  REVOLUTION, that's what will solve our problems, but not a good solution.

Nigerians will open their mouth then, Nigerians will be bold, the soldiers will march on the streets with the civilians . . .

GOD, HELP NIGERIA!

yes ofcourse,  Sir, u failed to mention pending revolution in the church where offering and tithe that should be used to maintain the body of Christ wholesomely, is used to purchase private jets and denying the faith in Christ,and the gospel of Christ in Christ displaced for mamonic gospel. Oneday God himself will stand to judge church fund embezzlers and mamonic preachers.
