The Arbiter: Has anybody ever questioned why its always Beroms against the Fulani and Hausa? Is it evident to all that there are more than 30 tribes on the plateau but only one is significantly involved in the so called ethnic-religious crisis?

True, lives have been lost on both sides of the ethnic-religious divide in the plateau crisis. But i find it suspicious that out of the over 30 tribes on the plateau, only one has a serious beef with the Fulani. Even the Tivs rarely have violence on the scale we see on the plateau despite their face offs with the Fulani. After the cannibalism they displayed of recent, i have have written off the Beroms off my list of civilized people and i stand to be corrected.

The Nigerian press has always been biased since inception along north-south, ethnic and religious lines. Infact, i rarely distinguish any difference between reports in papers and the NTA. Everything you read on newspapers is to be considered false or twisted until proven otherwise. That has been my attitude to newspapers and has been proven true 60% of the time. As a matter of fact irresponsible journalism can be adduced as the catalyst for a lot of the violence in the Nigerian state since inception (coupled with other factors).



It is only when you think that you liberate yourself. Passions and emotions has always been the African way of doing things and not logical thinking. It may be an intense way of life but it always fails 90% of the time.

May you see beyond your passions and emotions to the kernel of the idea i wanted to share through this post.

My broda,u neva answer the question wey dem ask you.dats y pple lyk u dey fail simple question.why always hausa/fulani associated with violence and killings every part of Nigeria?

free_soul: someone says he is not a thief, but everytime he passed by, something disappears!
why is it only fulani involved in all these troubles all over nigeria?
fulani vs hausa
fulani vs berom
fulani vs yoruba
fulani vs tiv

why only fulani?

This is the only question nobody seem to find answer to.those saying,southern media releases false story wit respect to violence regarding fulani pple!pls answer the question o

Bomb......bomb....bomb......boko haram pls continue with ur jamborEe

ocelot2006:


Oh please spare us the BS. What of other Nigerians that were killed during the war? This has nothing to do with Biafra.


May the souls of the innocent RIP. What a tragedy.

U can open ur wide mouth and speak stink.don't worry,I guess wen dey kill u or smeone dear to u den u will knw war had been declared.coward pig

PROUD-IGBO:


^^^Indeed i'm starting to think this country really is cursed: what else do you expect from a country built (and i use the term 'built' quite loosely) and held together on the blood of millions of innocents (not just Igbo losses before, during and since the civil war) to throw up if not grief, murder, pestilence, disease, corruption, illiteracy and a vision of hell on earth?

For as long as we bury our heads in the sand, and refuse to acknowledge the wrongs of the past and lies of the present, i'm afraid we're only reading the 'contents' to what will turn out to be the worst horror story mankind will witness in the 21st century.

May the souls of the departed RIP.

Nigeria is d worst country on earth.I tot they say its only igbos dat are being killed.jst see hw a yoruba prof was smoked to death.So Ojukwu was right.I will believe anything I read about ojukwu.he's indeed a hero.Gowon I guess u re burying ur face in shame.Hausa muslim are destruction

ifihearam: I am still waiting to see a candidate that can match GEj come 2015....NONE

The simple truth...though its hard to admit by sme pple.but thats d utmost truth.

yaro yaro: Come 2015 ATIKU(TURAKI OF ADAMAWA) live.

Yeah he lives so u can die....hausa slavery

Whether its true PDP is propaganding dat CPC av resolved to use el-rufai is dere presidential flag bearer does nt need all dis press statement @ all.abi he's nt fit to become one.anyway,CPC can resolve to stick wit dat ageing general who uses khaki to force nigerians into slavery.he's a failure,no wonder y babangida quickly overthrew d coward.d old man will continue to vie till he drop dead while campaigning.d guy is nt sellable @ all.i wuld av luved vibrant youth lyk el-rufai and since u keep on puttin up old papa(buhari d jihadist),i will b forced to vote for GEJ come 2015

GenBuhari: see how people fear an anti- gcoruption leader

Buhari is the last chance for all those thieving politicians to repent and return their loot, because if Buhari does not get to stamp out corruption a military dictatorship may end up executing all these thieves.

It seems to be inevitable.

If Buhari is d last chance then it means u have no future ahead of u.does it mean among 150million nigerians including u,dere is no one that is fit to rid Nigeria off corruption apart frm dis ageing,non-compliant general,den it means u are doomed

agiboma: i hope she wins

Good coment from a reasonable Nigerian.I wish her success too....for pple who beef,pls dere mum or aunt shuld be ready to take up the job

bittyend: That pig faced woman needs to go away for good, before she runs Nigeria into the ground.

I guess if she goes,ur mum is available to take up d job

barba: I challenged anyone 2put 4ward anoda person dat has held public offic nd neva been indicted.Is it el rufai dat has countles charges nd court cases against him or Ribadu dat was 4mally Obasanjo stooge nd later Tinubu stooge. Until d people can look nd c beyond dia noses Dat s wen we wuld knw BUHARI s d missin link.

Dis is the lamest post av eva read.does it matter if he stole directly or not.he wass PTF chairman under abacha regime.d regime dat destroyed our country wit senseless looting.wich physical project did buhari did in d south ?rather dan printing textbooks for southerners and bulding roads and infrastuctures in the North wit PTF money?is dat not biased.during 2003 general election buhari told northerners dat christians shuld vote christians while muslims shuld vote muslim! Is ddat nt a religious bigot?does it mean u as aperson is not ashamed dat u re not forseeing a youth as a possible future Nigerian president?pple like u will still allow ur father at 100yrs to attend family meeting for u rather dan taking up the challenges as a youth and represent ur father. Shame on u

GenBuhari: He would be 73

Even if he was 103 , he would still be much much better than Obasanjo and all his PDP predcessors put together!!

If u are campaigning for smeone who is 73 leaving behind vibrant youths with strong aSpirations and sound minds den it means u have sold ur relevance to clueless old folks.wat does d future hold for u as a youth?we have vibrant contenders like pat utomi,dele momodu etc.we culd advocate for pple like oby ezekwesili and raji fashola etc,rather u r putting ur hope on an ageing general!its a shame on u.does it mean if ur father is 80,u will stil b lookin up to him for leadership instead of taking over frm him proving u can take up such challenges?buhari only used military force to deal wit issues but its noot realisable under a democratic settings because dere is separation of power!corruption is not just at d govt level,dere is corruption in ur house,compd,street,workplace,school,everywhere.for GEJ/Buhari to perform all hands must b on deck.if CPC is corrupt free why did dey allow abacha's son to join dere camp.and why did buhari served as PTF chairman wen abacha was busy siphoning our tax payers money?if he was a saint,y didn't he resign dat abacha govt was corrut? Buhari,GEJ are jst d same clueless,non-compliant old folks.dis guys r cut off frm modern reality.

I think the outpouring of vituperation on this woman is uncalled for. Give this woman a break please. She did not rise to her present position in world bank on the back of Nigeria but merit by those who know. Apart from politics of America Ngozi remains the best candidate. A lot of ignorant fellows sit behind computer to write on subject they know nothing about and abusing this woman. The stereotyped media agenda has brainwashed half educated fellows in to thinking that Ngozi is incompetent. If you ask me, Is deregulation the right thing? My answer is yes. What about the timing? Probably wrong. You will be asking for too much if you think Ngozi can turn things around overnight. You sure need a magician to do that. Giving the circumstances and allowance for human frailty which is common to all, the woman should NOT be blamed entirely for our economic woes. SO NGOZI FIGHT ON PLEASE

SummerT: Ride on man! I knw 1 fin,if ds man is bn voted for,Nigeria wil surpass oda nations in africa. Erase all forms of corruption bt he shud starts d awareness nw mst. esp. South west n south south. I c him as d right man cum 2015. Dtz y d big playerz dosn't allow him to gt dr.

Yeah.Nigeria will surparse oda nation like war torn somali,sudan etc.how could ssmeone just wake up one morning and say smething like dis.so so disgusting.do u knw dat our refineries started degrading unda Buhari regime and dat importation of fuel started in his era?buhari cannot rid Nigeria off corruption because he wil not b d judge,lawyers,police and office holders who steals plenty money.he won't control d senate and house of representathieves.he was able to deal wit pple den forcefully because he was military.ask ursef,y haven't fashola rid lagos off area boys?in democratic system,dere is separation of power and u can't control outside ur jusrisdiction.for corruption to go,all hands must b on deck.it is a collective effort and not singular effort.even obama have neva punnished the bankers on the wall street for messing americans economy!does it mean obama condone misdeamenors?
Y did buhari jailed fela anikulapo kuti? Y did he jailed shagari and alex ekwueme witout legal proceedings.d guy is to animalistic joooooor.shame on him.if at 80,buhari is stil contesting it means that d entire followers are doomed because they have no future ahead of dem.at dis 21st century one is stil hopin on an ageing general,den its a shame!

lanrock: nigerian, let give Gen Buhari chance to rule cos he is the only trustworthy among them.
NIGERIA, SAI BUHARI.

I disagree wit u.wen u say he's d most trustworthy among them!among how many of them? We are not looking at GEJ alone now.we have oda contestants.I wanna ask u does it mean dat Buhari don't have anyone whom he can support despite puttin himself again?since he trust no one,den I don't trust him too and will nt vote for him.I will rather look for pple with sound minds.not non-compliant folks like GEJ and Buhari

fork adict:
You still wonder why Buhari wants to take another shot at the presidency?

Cos he wants to rid naija of corruption and maybe make our past corrupt leaders pay for their greed. And if you ask me, that's what naija needs now more than anything else

Buhari can neva rid nigeria off corruption because he's not the police,lawyers,EFCC etc and also not a govnor or senator.so he can only checkmate himself because all dis listed above have own independent power!

qualified: No cause for alarm! He ll lose as usual. God ll never allow a tribalistic, religious fanatic to rule this country.

But y is he always going back on his word? I think he is too self-centered thats y he is not thinking of grooming d younger generation. An i-know-it-all kind of person.

But 'no lele' he will lose again and again and again .......

I share ur ideology bro. Whoever supports Buhar(an ageing general),it means that they don't believe in the strength of youth any more.I can neva give my vote to soon-to-die general where we have aspiring and vibrants youths like Nuhu ribadu,prof soludo,pro pat utomi, SLS,fashola,oby ezekwesilli,etc.let's focus on giving the vibrant youth a chance and see wat dey can do rather dan concentrating effort on a milienium non-complaint human

oly g: GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!.I AM VERY HAPPY BUHARI HAS DECLARE TO RUN IN 2015.THANK GOD THIS COUNTRY STILL HAS HOPE.I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN HONEST FORMER MILITARY LEADER LIKE GENERAL BUHARI.THANK GOD THIS COUNTRY SILL HAS HOPE.NIGERIANS LET US WISE UP,THE RIGHT MAN HAS DECLARE AGAIN.GOD IS GIVING US ANOTHER CHANCE.BUHARI/BAKARE FOR 2015!BAHARI/BAKARE FOR 2015!BUHARI/BAKARE FOR 2015.LET THE CAMPAIGN START NOW.THIS ARE THE PEOPLE WE NEED.

Stop decieving yourself.am so pathetic dat u can utter dis kind of statement considering the dynamism of the present world.do we need to focus on an aging ex-general as a succour to Nigeria?d answer is NO.don't forget that Buhari is also and ethnic and religous bigot!even his hausa brothers don't like him.its only the alimajiris he had succeeded in breeding likes him.any youth who votes for Buhari has shown that dey do not have hope in youth any longer.we need dynamism.we want pple lyk pat utomi,professor soludo,sanusi lamido sanusi,obi ezekwesili,FOla adeola,nuhu ribadu.dis are the modern pple who can champion change not aging general like buhari who is not compliant wit millenium challenges like GEJ

Ilekokonit: Hope we will shun tribal politics in 2015 and vote for this God sent man.

How do you know Buhari is God sent? Of wat importance is Buhari to his pple at Daura?how has he ablr to change the lifes of pple leaving there?we only praise dis man for using army uniform to punish culprits.I have evry conviction dat even if Buhari becomes president,d problem of corruption wil stil remain intact because
1.He will nt oversee the judiciary which can stall presecution and make punishment easier for culprits.even president Obama today have not punnished the bankers on the wall street for messing up america's economy.my question is'does it mean that after buhari was president,does it mean he has not trained anybody or believes in somebody that can take naija to d promise land.Buhari believes in himself anddat non is capable except him.so for that ideology,I wuldnt vote for buhari if he contest.I also have similar problem wit Atiku abubakar.wen senator john kerry lost election to geaorge bush jnr,he bow out of politics to set up a cancer foundation.Dis is wat I expect Nigerians who lost election to do.there r oda ways u can contribute to d development of Nigeria witout venturin into politics.look at rochas okorocha b4 he became govnor.he's knw as a humanitarian and dat helped him to clinch govnorship

Demdem:

Dora isn't ijaw. What were the roles of these ijaw Eediots or better still SS during this period?

I only answered the comment posted by @saxywale and did not in anyway relate it to the subject matter.but u re quixk to brand dem as SS bt u forgot dat d pple in dat meeting had no representatives frm cross River,akwa ibom, edo and delta.so to me will not generalise as SS thing,rather by some few who wanted to champion dere course.we all have the right to champion a course but for 2015,we will sort that out on the polls.but I doubt if its gonna differ frm wat we previously had

youngmonie: Someone raised a very important point on the LEGAL aspect of GEJ actually running for president having by sworn in and taken the oath of office 22WICE as president (First as acting and now president).

"Acting president" is not d same thing as "substantial president". Do u knw HOD's are not actually the head of the department.dey are just acting on a capacity.because sme lecturers are indeed of higher qualification dan sme HOD.GEJ can run 2015

saxywale:

if not for the likes of tunde bakare and co that stood up against Turai, I wonder where GEJ would have been now. That guy slow sha...LOL

I think I disagree wit you because I followed the yar'asdua saga frm day 1 to wen GEJ bcame acting president.wen d continual absence of yar'adua was looming,dnt forget dat dora akunyili,den minister for informartion was d only member of FEC dat was blowing hot regarding d fact dat as information minister she had no info regarding d whereabt of his boss and dat started raising dust.dnt forget dat d same dora submitted a memo for meeting of the FEC which was suppose to discuss abt d continual absence of yar'adua wich was thrown out by the den SGF because it was allege she didn't compile the memo well.bt Dora took it upon again and re-draft d memo wich later started exposing d lapses regarding yar'adua.dnt forget wen GEJ bcame acting,he seem to like dora because of her role she played.and also dnt forget how dora was ill-questioned by senator kanti bello(representing katsina) calling her "turai's maid" before he was attacked by oda senators and lata asked her to leave that she wil nt be questioned.bakare only came in wen d deal to make GEJ the actin based on doctrine of necessity was in d pipeline

Action congress is just one of the briefcase political party in Nigeria today.I don't giv a Bleep if any party members kills anoda frm same or different party because dis is wat dey do before dey bcome "selected" by there croonies.if dem like make dem kill aregbesola,dats non of my fucking bizzness! Dey are all dsame.action congress is filled wit liars and rascals while PDP is filled wit thieves and thugs.so wetin b d difference.make una dey kill una self joor

kunlekunle: why in lagos

Because they are Nigerians and also have the right to hold any gathering anywhere as deem fit for them.hope I answer ur question

free_soul:

the bigoted thing is to call together ijaw peoples and call them "south south" people.
where are other groups in that zone?
where is itsekiri for example? soon ijaw will become south

anyway na tree go vote for jonathan? mek we de wait sha, mek 4 million ijaw make im president for 2015

How you take know say na tree go vote GEJ.u can only speak for yoursef.OBJ received widder criticism dan GEJ yet he won election twice in Nigeria. Impossibility is nothing here on dis part of the world so speak for ursef

jason123: Will GEJ run or not? Is it too early to start thinking about 2015? Interesting times!

Its not too early bro atleast Oobasanjo started campaigning for 2003 at earlier 2000 wen he became president in 2009.just sismislar trend,nothing spsoil
