Why did i comment on a wailers thread sef

READ CAREFULLY PLEASE!

Did you notice that ALL of those who have been named as having shared in the
blood money by # Dasuki are Muslims, Christians and even atheists?
Do you realise that ALL of them are Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Fulani and all of the hundreds of ethnic nationalities making up Nigeria?
Have you asked yourself why you didn't hear any shout of marginalisation or oppression when the money was being shared by Mr Donatus #Dasuki?
Let me break it down for you. In that secret place where they make a feast of our commonwealth, nobody is Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw or whatever. There's no Christian, Muslim or traditionalist when illicit money is to be preyed upon.
No tribe or religion, they belong to one family: the political class and their interests transcends tribe, ethnicity or religion. Money is their paradise and their belly is the only god they worship.
So, next time any of these idiots come screaming that your tribe is being marginalised or that someone is trying to wipe out your religion, tell him to kiss your fat black a*s and enjoy his journey to hell.
If you agree with him and allow them to turn your destiny to a Ludo game, then Sorry is your middle name and you suffer from a terminal disease called 'Congenital Stupidity'. It has no cure and the symptoms don't show very early.
Once you're afflicted with "CS", the end result is to die in ignorance while defending the idiots who turned you into a whimper. Accept my sympathy....God bless Nigeria
Happy Weekend.

Haha, Kemi Adeosun is on the list of Commissioners sent by Amosun to the State assembly today nah, infact she is expected to retain her seat as the state finance commissioners.

"By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population of over 60,000 people.Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles.The Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil Th.e black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba.By 1872 the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European
origin.

In 1876 imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260. Telephone links with Britain were established by 1886, and electric street lighting in 1898.In August 1896, Charles Joseph George and G.W. Neville,both merchants and both unofficial members of the Legislative Council, presented a petition urging construction of the railway terminus on Lagos Island rather than at Ido, and also asking for the railway to be extended to Abeokuta. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition,trade and
commerce,infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED

With the little facts above, I would like to educate some illiterates making stupid assumption from blind sentiments that they developed Lagos.

Lagosians had telephone presence in 1886, Itu and Calabar got connected to Telephone in 1923, while between 1946 and 1952, a three-channel line carrier system was commissioned between Lagos and Ibadan and was later extended to Oshogbo, Kaduna, Kano, Benin, and Enugu. Communication technology is a major signifier of civilizations and if Lagosians were already making telephone calls more than 70 years before your daddies, where then did you get the warped idea that you came to develop Lagos?

By 1856 Cable and Wireless Company of the UK had commissioned a submarine cable link between Lagos and London and In 1851 a post office was established in Lagos; all these before of the emergence of Nigeria as an amalgamated country. If I may ask again, where did the stupid idea that Igbo developed Lagos came from? Or that Lagos was developed with Nigeria's money when Lagos was not even part of Nigeria until 1914.

I always feel embarrassed anytime I read and hear even so-called educated people from the East making these stupid assertions.

The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish University in 1935. Again I ask, where did the ignorant hypothesis of the backward Yoruba race who needed development by the superior Igbo race come from? For the sake of our generation and posterity we need to teach factual history and not just cook up some cock and bull ego-centric concoctions as facts. The attitude of recycling long tales steeped in empty arrogance should be discarded before you miseducate your kids with fictions.

Awolowo will continue to be the Yoruba hero not because of blind followership but because he gave his people the system of free education, free healthcare and he introduced Television to the Yoruba; making Yorubaland the first region to have a TV station in Africa all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and naked buffonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from?

The aim of this post is not to deride any tribe but to correct the dangerous misinformation trending among some Igbo youths and common in their narratives that Lagos is a no-man's land and that their fathers built and develop Lagos. Your forebears came to Yoruba-land like every other settlers and we appreciate their contributions but the stupid claim that Igbo built and develop Lagos is a gross display of stupidity because Lagos was already developed before your forebears came here from their villages and towns.

The first storey building in Nigeria was built in Marina, Badagry in 1845, long before some of hinterland people gave up the idea of conical mud houses with thatched roofs which some boastfully called 'ancient mansions.' How can you now claim your grand-sires developed Lagos? Please if you are one of those spreading the fiction, I expect you to desist from self-delusion and collective amnesia forthwith.

The first Igbo alphabet-character set and Igbo primer (Isoama-Ibo) was published by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a yoruba man from Osogun) in 1857. How can you now claim superiority over the Yoruba race and even carelessly affirm that your forebears should be thanked for bringing enlightenment to Yoruba Land?

While I do not see all these achievements as a sign of Yoruba superiority over the Igbo or any other tribe for I do not believe in racial superiority; I will not also tolerate any attempt by bigots who stoke ethnic hatred through incitement and arrogant claims of superiority over others.

Let me make it emphatically clear that this is not a clarion call to crucify President Goodluck Jonathan even though he has been likened to the Christian prophet Jesus Christ, who was “crucified” on the cross. It is a call to massacre President Jonathan’s identity, his party and everyone associated with him strictly with the weapon of the ballot.

About one year ago, I would have advised General Muhammadu Buhari to take a back seat and groom personalities like Nuhu Ribadu and Nasir El-Rufai as capable political materials for future endeavors. Having seen the political immaturity displayed by Nuhu Ribadu in his political prostitution of convenience and El-Rufai in his holier than thou account of his stewardship under President Olusegun Obasanjo however, I have come to my personal and subjective conclusion that the political scene – far and wide – presently lays bare, a glaring shortage of a worthy poster child to rescue Nigeria from Jonathan’s brazen political assault.

General Muhammadu Buhari is by far, not the best presidential material any right-thinking individual will be unreservedly proud to present to Nigeria in these turbulent days in spite of some exemplary character traits that should make him the envy of the neighborhood. I will address this issue later in this discourse. So huge is the ballast that Muhammadu Buhari’s legacy contains that he should ordinarily be scaring the wit out of any sane mind, who wonders which destination this stern and rigid-minded “fanatic” of fortune may end up taking Nigeria. Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka beautifully cataloged some highly disturbing evidences in his urgent appeal to Nigerian voters in 2007 that were made manifest during General Buhari’s days as our military leader.

One clear example was seen in Buhari’s apportionment of blame and punishment for members of the helpless and rudderless government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari that he overthrew in a coup that was led by one Brig. Sani Abacha in 1984. Wole Soyinka explained it thus:

“The head of (that) government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cosy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kirikiri (maximum security) prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.

There is no mincing words that General Buhari spoke the minds of many ordinary Northern Nigerians when he made several statements in the past that could be understood as a sentimental appreciation of Boko Haram. Indeed, there were times, in which many Nigerians understandably considered Muhammadu Buhari as a possible sponsor of Boko Haram, who sought to use the group to make Nigeria ungovernable under Goodluck Jonathan who General Buhari considered as ruling on a stolen mandate. His comment that “…dogs and baboons will be soaked in blood” if elections were rigged did not mark him as a moderate statesman. It all came to a head in the early days of June 2013, when President Jonathan finally ordered a military crackdown on Boko Haram probably without knowing the extent of the involvement of elements of the military in Boko Haram’s atrocious activities.

General Buhari had flipped and deteriorated as far as characterizing any attack on Boko Haram as an attack on the North. He had condemned the collateral killing of civilians in the hunt for Boko Haram fighters without condemning the repeated killing of innocent Christian worshippers at the time. General Buhari had compared the senseless and brutal and mass killing of innocent people by Boko Haram terrorists with the kidnapping for ransom, murder and sabotage activities of the former Niger Delta insurgents that were rehabilitated into mainstream socio-political life by the late President Yar’Adua. The resultant call for the arrest of General Buhari by Christian leaders was largely acceptable to many observers in the South at the time. It therefore came as no surprise that Boko Haram publicly announced the name of General Buhari as a mediator that would be acceptable to it.

Until early to mid-2014, when General Buhari began speaking out more clearly and fearlessly, many Nigerians still considered him – at best – a quiet supporter of Boko Haram. In May 2014 however, he came out in the clearest terms possible, calling Boko Haram a bunch of “mindless bigots” who he did not regard as “followers of God”. This indeed, was the turning point in the general perception of Boko Haram across the board. Even in Twitter interactions, where Northerners were hitherto generally perceived as not feeling quite comfortable with criticisms of Boko Haram, a sense of rejection and defiance began taking hold.

In spite of the general sympathy that General Buhari often showed for the North for several years, seemingly as a matter of priority over the rest of Nigeria, there now seems to be an understanding on his part that he will have to rule over entire Nigeria and not the North alone if he is ever elected President. Today, a completely refined General Buhari is a party man who will not seek to smash a hole in the wall with the force of his head alone not giving a damn, what others may want. He will not pick a Muslim-Muslim ticket because his party has reached a collective decision not to do so. The Buhari of past years (much like the Sanusi Lamido Sanusi of the Central Bank days) would have done more to appease his northern constituency before anything else.

In a sober reflection of the reality of our time, everyone now seems to have realized that Boko Haram represents a disaster and no ideal whatsoever, neither for the North nor for the South. The actions of the Islamic State in the Middle East, which seems to inspire more gruesomeness and savagery by Boko Haram and other terror organizations all over the world, now seems to have woken our Northern compatriots to a new dawn of hope for the corporate existence of Nigeria. It was such an emotionally overwhelming proof of this realization to read that over 200 northern volunteer youths came together to protect southern Christians worshipping on the Christmas day of 2014, from the now customary Boko Haram attack on churches in the North on Christian festive days. It marks the beginning of the end of divisive politicking.

It also marks the temporary peak of the systematic transformation of General Muhammadu Buhari, which seems to resonate positively with a large section of Northern followers.

Indeed, no right-thinking individual will object to passion for any religion or geographical region. When the interest of an entire nation is however subjugated to the rulership addiction of a geographical region however, there is a serious reason for hatred. General Muhammadu Buhari’s personal intransigence, sometimes accommodating no leniency or compromises as detailed in Wole Soyinka’s submission, his antecedent of acting more in favor of the northern trajectory when a choice is to be made between the north and the south as the example of Alex Ekwueme and Shehu Shagari exemplified, are reasons enough to simply hate General Muhammadu Buhari’s guts.

Unfortunately however, President Goodluck Jonathan has done everything within his power during his four years of clueless rulership (not leadership) to make the hard and stringent side of Gerneral Buhari the conspicuously marketable character and one that is acceptable in polite society. The result is that Nigeria now needs a leader and President with a personal character and strength that is roughly equivalent to what Buhari has. A president with the guts and stubbornness to fight the mafia of the oil sector hands-down! A president that will dare to take on Generals in the army, unveil the political manipulations that have undermined the efficiency of our military that was once the envy of a continent and reorganize the system altogether! A President that will be ready to take hard decisions against the resistance of powerful interest groups not one that chooses the easier option of removing fuel subsidy to avoid confronting the criminals of the sector! In the public arena today, only two characters stand out with the credentials to dare such onerous task and succeed – Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari! Ibrahim Babangida would be too busy maneuvering and outwitting his opponents to succeed in such a task that requires brute force and stubbornness.

Since Olusegun Obasanjo is not on the ballot and would not even stand a chance of winning if he was, the only candidate that every lover of Nigeria should support and vote into power today is just Muhammadu Buhari. It is a hard choice and there are many like me who are simply praying today that the gamble may work and that Buhari does not turn out to a be a nightmare for the corporate existence of Nigeria through excessive stubbornness and negative partisanship. As it stands in the present moment, the continued presence of President Goodluck Jonathan beyond 2015 will be the death knell for Nigeria’s existence.

General Muhammadu Buhari’s modesty and personal rejection of unnecessary, to say the least of excessive material wealth simply serves to further underscore why Nigeria needs a man of such character sooner rather than later. This will be a President that will not require a foreign contractor to first build a church or a mosque in his own village as a prelude to awarding a government contract. It is a man that will not empower a Boko Haram commander to play Asari Dokubo because the man has guts himself. It is a man, whose staffs and others working around him will have a hard time reeling in a frenzy of corrupt enrichment.

Muhammadu Buhari is worth hating in every sense of the word. Confronted with the choice between him and President Jonathan however, only sycophants and people feeding and surviving on Jonathan’s free-for-all looting at the top will prefer Jonathan. I know no man of intelligence and honor that will pitch his tent with President Jonathan with his proven lot of cluelessness, incapacitation and wanton corruption. If voted President and I have no doubt, he will be no matter the odds, I dare predict that Muhammadu Buhari will end up being more hated than Olusegun Obasanjo because he will be ready to step on toes and probably more brutally than Obasanjo did. It remains to be seen however, if he will be ready to pay the ultimate price of letting Goodluck Jonathan and his criminal clan off the hook in the interest of maintaining peace and fostering unity on Nigeria. After all, judging by widespread public sentiments, not even the dangerous calculation of not holding elections in three states of the North on grounds of intensified Boko Haram activities will help Jonathan at the present moment.

Even though we dont know who can do it,but atleast we know who cant do it.... Jonathan can not do it(certainty), I can vote anyother person(Gamble) but no Jonathan.So dont ask me who can do it.

Meanwhile,the guy that assulted him is a PDP member.ie Tambuwal's populaity cut across paties

Hnm PDP, if Lai handle you now, we go start pitting you . Na you start am now ooo...

IF you're a patriotic Nigerian, you must read this and act - either by your legal and constitutional action(s) or docility, as we're famous for, but up to you and I. Okay?
Now, let's hit the nail on the head. What do these politicians take us for? What do we take ourselves for in the naked thieving eyes of these Nigerian "polithiefcians?" And how do these "politrickcians" perceive our dear fatherland? As their personal estate, where they can do whatever they like or not, without giving a hoot about you and I?
Do President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan even regard you and I as decent, matured, cosmopolitan, modern, educated, civilized and politically conscious elements, who understand the dynamics, ethos and valuable ingredients of democracy and good governance?
If yes, why would our "2015-on-my-mind" President Jonathan, whose utmost priority in life right now is the reelection mantra, pick former Minister, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, as the head of his Presidential Declaration Committee?
Oh my gosh! Nigerians don't you know this man Mohammed? Or you've forgotten history? Check out the archives for his name and ONE particular shameful, indecent act associated with him stands out!
If you're lazy let me check for you. This is a man that was indicted in HUGE bribery case against his country (Nigeria) and countrymen (Nigerians) by a German court on October 4, 2007, seven (7) years ago, during ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo administration.
The Munich court in its ruling against Siemen AG singled out Mohammed as one of the bribe takers of the 77 ginormous bribes offered by Siemen's "bribe givers" to Mohammed and co in Nigeria, Libya and Russia.
If you think I'm lying check the November 2007 editions of the Wall Street Journal, a highly credible American newspaper.
Please, don't get me more angry by making me remember that Siemens gave over 10 MILLION EUROS to this "shameless" Director of Jonathan Declaration Committee and others in Nigeria, to beat our system in order to get undue advantage in our telecommunications sector!
Now, is this the kind of a man a "zero-tolerant-for-corruption-president" Jonathan should pushed forward to renew our hopes, particularly the "mumustic" younger generation, that there's better tomorrow for us, with the series of scandalous bribery and corruption issues too numerous to mention under this Ijaw man's Presidency?
Look brothers and sisters, under this stupid, careless, senseless effrontry, lack of respect and decency for you and I administration where lies the great country where your hopes and aspirations could be realized? I'm telling you, your thoughts could be similar to mine, but I'm sure we're operating from different hemispheres where our future is not only in our hands (by our votes), but the way we reason - sufficiently adequate or hugely stupid. But, all I know is that the ball is in your court, and na (it's) you sabi (who knows) how you play it for you and I, and the generous betterment of all in Nigeria!

But unfortunately for you haters,noffin do Amsun or any member of his convoy. Meanwhile, when it comes to road construction, pls give it to this guy

Kudos to Ogun,Three out of Six. FUNAAB joor

In my own opinion,APC may not be better,but having strong two parties with closer chances of winning will benefit this country.Unlike now when APC knows that 'either I do am well or not i go win lagos ' and PDP believes that 'even if we share all the money we will still win presidential eletion'.In we have a competitive results at election,irrespective o the winner,the parformance will be improved

Some lessons from Scotland. RESULT Yes 46%, No 54%
Scotland has oil, England does not. Most of the oil revenue is spent in England for population, political and economic considerations. Scotland had a 'golden' opportunity to gain independence and keep the oil completely yesterday, 18th September 2014 but voted down the opportunity, whereas in Nigeria and some other parts of Africa, the agitation of some is to break up their countries, especially with the lure of natural resources and political 'power' in mind.
Things are by no means perfect in the relationship between England and Scotland and this vote was certainly not a vote for the status quo. English leaders have agreed to give Scotland a little more autonomy among other political concessions.
Again, all the political leaders in England (Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, etc) came together, strategised and campaigned for Scotland to stay back. If it was in Nigeria, other political parties would most likely rejoice and use the opportunity to get at the president and the ruling party.
Lastly, the vote ended by 10pm yesterday and the result came out this morning. The Scottish First Minister (who would have become Prime Minister) has accepted the result and congratulated the people of Scotland and the United Kingdom generally though he had spent most of his political life fighting for Scottish independence. This was the fight of his political life and he may soon go into retirement. If it was in Nigeria, what we would hear are allegations of rigging and calls for resistance.
Corruption, greed and bitterness are what drive our own politics in Africa and I'm sure, as morning follows the night, that if Scotland was in Africa, the vote would have been overwhelmingly different.
We have a long way to go to learn to put the interest of all above the interest of self. The No campaign has won in Scotland. Nigeria, take heed. Let's come together and fix our countr
