Leave Igbo people alone.

Let dogs eat their own flesh.I was one of the people who said that it was the turn of Igbo to produce the next Nigerian president in 2003 before Obasanjo's second term.There are some self-centered people among them than any other tribe in Nigeria.Some of them cannot even recognise the former Vice President Dr Alex Ekueme as one of the people to recorn with.
2015 is vast approaching but let me say it now that Igbo should forget that the next Nigerian president will be coming form the East.Why ?
1:Lack of unit among them.
2:Selfishness among them.
3:Lack of respect to the elders.
4:Non consultation with the traditional rulers.
5:Biafran factor.
6:Tafa Balewa's curse.
Did the present governors consult with their leaders before they took decision to surpport Jonathan and other leaders who are not in politics.There are political leaders as well as regional leaders that there decisions are very important in the act of governing the people.
Dr Alex's group were locked out in one of the place where a meeting was surpposed to take place.
The current governors only care about their family members.They want everything for the benefit of their family members.Nothing or positions can be distributed among and within their community.
The politicians did not think that carring along the traditional rulers with them in any decision making is very important.This is an institution that should not be religated at all.
Finally, let them go back into the achive of Nigeria and read about the last statement made about late Tafa Balewa about them

Your arguement is baseless.just agree that gFashiola has achieved better than any governors in the south south or south east.do you mean to tell me that if Uduaghan or Ohakim is there,he would do better than him?my brother be realistic.Let us hope Rochas won't mess up and you will make excuse for him.

U have a got to speak for fashiola,u must be a nonetity and pathological pessimist. How can u compare lagos with other state,since the history of nigeria lagos has been there than other stater like anambra of 1991,abia,bayelsa etc. Lagos is under finishing work than other newly created state that is still under development,even a blind man will rehabilitate lagos under 3 years. Fashiola lacks structure,credibility and expirence to rule nigeria

i will campaign against this evil

my dear fellow southerners and middle belt brothers pls read what i discovered abt the so called religion of peace from a former muslim Ali Sina
http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/frombelief.htm

"I Learned the truth from the Quran"

I left the religion on the backburner for several years. Not that my views about religion had changed or I didn’t consider myself religious any more. I just had so much to do that expending time on religion had become scarce. Meanwhile I learned more about democracy, human rights and other values, like equality of rights between men and women, and I liked what I learned. Did I pray? Whenever I could, but not fanatically. After all, I was living and working in a Western country and did not want to look too different.

One day, I decided that it was time to deepen my knowledge of Islam and read the Quran from cover to cover. I found an Arabic copy of the Quran with an English translation. Previously I read only bits and pieces of the Quran. This time I read all of it. I would read a verse in Arabic, then its English translation, then refer back to the Arabic, and did not read the next verse until I was completely satisfied I understood the Arabic.

It didn’t take long before I came upon verses I found hard to accept. One of these verses was:

“Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.” 4:48

I found it hard to accept that Gandhi would burn in hell forever because he was a polytheist with no hope of redemption, while a Muslim murderer could hope to receive Allah’s forgiveness. This raised a disturbing question. Why is Allah so desperate to be known as the only God? If there is no other god but him, what is the fuss? Against whom is he competing? Why should he even care whether anyone knows him and praises him or not.

I learned about the size of this universe. Light, which travels at a speed of 300 thousand kilometers per second takes 20 billion years to reach us from the galaxies that are at the edges of the universe. How many galaxies are there? How many stars are there in these galaxies? How many planets are there in this universe? These thoughts were mind-boggling. If Allah is the creator of this vast universe, why he is so concerned about being known as the only god by a bunch of apes living on a small planet down the Milky Way?

Now that I had lived in the West, had many western friends who were kind to me, liked me, opened their hearts and homes to me, and accepted me as their friend, it was really hard to accept that Allah didn’t want me to befriend them.

Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah 3:28,

Isn’t Allah the creator of the unbelievers too? Isn’t he the god of everybody? Why he should be so unkind to the unbelievers? Wouldn’t it be better if Muslims befriended unbelievers and taught them Islam by a good example? By keeping ourselves aloof and distant from unbelievers, the gap of misunderstandings will never be bridged. How in the world will unbelievers learn about Islam if we do not associate with them? These were the questions I kept asking myself. The answer to these questions came in a very disconcerting verse. Allah’s order was to, “slay them wherever ye catch them.” (Q.2:191)

I thought of my own friends, remembering their kindnesses and love for me, and wondered how in the world a true god would ask anyone to kill another human being just because he does not believe. That seemed absurd, yet this concept was repeated so often in the Quran there was no doubt about it. In verse 8:65, Allah tells his prophet:

“O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers.”

I wondered why would Allah send a messenger to make war? Shouldn’t God teach us to love each other and be tolerant towards each other’s beliefs? And if Allah is really so concerned about making people believe in him to the extent that he would kill them if they don’t believe, why would he not kill them himself? Why does he ask us to do his dirty work? Are we Allah’s hit men?

Although I knew of Jihad and never questioned it before, I found it hard to accept that God would resort to imposing such violent measures on people. What was more shocking was the cruelty of Allah in dealing with unbelievers.

I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them 8:12



It seemed Allah was not just satisfied with killing unbelievers, he enjoyed torturing them before killing them. Smiting people’s heads from above their necks and chopping their fingertips were very cruel acts. Would God really give such orders? And yet the worst is what he promised to do with unbelievers in the other world:

These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: But those who deny (their Lord),- for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water. With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back therein, and (it will be said), “Taste ye the Penalty of Burning!” 22:19-22

How could the creator of this universe be so cruel? I was shocked to learn that Quran tells Muslims to:

- kill unbelievers wherever they find them (Q.2:191),

- murder them and treat them harshly (Q.9:123),

- fight them, (Q.8:65), until no other religion than Islam is left (Q.2:193)

- humiliate them and impose on them a penalty tax if they are Christians or Jews, (Q.9:29)

- slay them if they are Pagans (Q.9:5), crucify, or cut off their hands and feet,

- expel them from the land in disgrace. And as if this were not enough, “they shall have a great punishment in world hereafter” (Q.5:34),

- not befriend their own fathers or brothers if they are not believers (Q.9:23), (Q.3:28),

- kill their own family in the battles of Badr and Uhud and asks Muslims to “strive against the unbelievers with great endeavor” (Q.25:52),

- be stern with them because they belong to hell (Q.66:9).

How can any sensible person remain unmoved when he or she finds the Quran saying: “strike off the heads of the unbelievers” then after a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives” (Q.47:4).

I was also shocked to learn the Quran denies freedom of belief for all and clearly states Islam is the only acceptable religion (Q.3:85). Allah relegates those who do not believe in the Quran to hell (Q.5:11) and calls them najis (filthy, untouchable, impure) (Q.9:28). He says unbelievers will go to hell and will drink boiling water (Q.14:17). Further, “As for the unbelievers, for them garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowls and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods” (Q.22:9). How sadistic!

The book of Allah says women are inferior to men and their husbands have the right to beat them (Q.4:34), and that women will go to hell if they are disobedient to their husbands (Q.66:10). It says men have an advantage over women (Q.2:228). It not only denies women equal right to their inheritance (Q.4:11-12), it also regards them as imbeciles and decrees that their testimony alone is not admissible in court (Q.2:282). This means that a woman who is raped cannot accuse her rapist unless she can produce a male witness, which of course is a joke. Rapists don't rape in the presence of witnesses. But the most shocking verse is where Allah allows Muslims to rape women captured in wars even if they are married before being captured (Q.4:24) (Q.4:3). The holy prophet raped the prettiest women he captured in his raids on the same day he killed their husbands and loved ones. This is why anytime a Muslim army subdues another nation, they call them kafir and rape their women. Pakistani soldiers raped up to 250,000 Bengali women in 1971 and massacred 3,000,000 unarmed civilians when their religious leader decreed that Bangladeshis are un-Islamic. This is why the prison guards in the Islamic regime of Iran rape the women and then kill them after calling them apostates and the enemies of Allah.

The whole Quran is full of verses that teach killing of unbelievers and how Allah would torture them after they die. There are no lessons on morality, justice, honesty, or love. The only message of the Quran is to believe in Allah and his messenger. The Quran coaxes people with celestial rewards of unlimited sex with fair houris in paradise and threatens them with blazing fires of hell. When the Quran speaks of righteousness, it does not mean righteousness as we understand it, but it means belief in Allah and his messenger. A Muslim can be a killer and murder non-Muslims and yet be a righteous person. Good actions are secondary. Belief in Allah and his messenger are the ultimate purpose of a person’s life.

After reading the Quran I became greatly depressed. It was hard to accept it all. At first I denied and searched for esoteric meanings to these cruel verses of the Quran, all in vain. There was no misunderstanding! The Quran was overwhelmingly inhumane. Of course it contained a lot of scientific heresies and absurdities, but they were not what impacted me the most. It was the violence of this book that really jolted me and shook the foundation of my belief.

somtin must be wrong with us

somtin must be wrong with Igbos Yorubas ijaws akwa ibomites Tivs, Edos, Urhobos, etc.how can we open our eys and tolerate this nonsense?will Nigeria remain peaceful if nine hausa boys are killed in imo state or delta or ogun state by agboro boys? belive me all hell will break lose. why cant we tell these useless ppl the truth about themelves and shun them and break away from them?

read what a former muslim says of that stupid isla and that rubbish book Koran

"The prejudices and hatred that Muslims harbor against almost all non-Muslims is not the result of any misinterpretation of the teachings of the Quran, but is because this book teaches hate and encourages prejudice. Those Muslims who go to the mosques and listen to the sermons of the mullahs are affected. There are many verses in the Quran that call believers to hate non-believers, fight them, call them najis, subdue and humiliate them, chop off their heads and limbs, crucify them, and kill them wherever they find them."

Thinking of what hapend to my brother ikechukwu and which has been happenin to others in the north since 1980 i cannot see the need to live togethr in the same country with these animas

Amadi U are 100% RIGHT

Infact, I commend you my good friend, The president must be a listening president. To end corruption in Nigeria, he must start from himself first, then his wife second,because from evidence his first problem will be his wife, am sorry to say this because I love him and will not want him to fail, please keep your wife out of governance of this country. Report reaching us indicates the wife was very intrumental to events in Abia state election in camera,as T.A Orji and his son boasted that they have already won because pDP want more states by all means, and money was used to buy votes because the Abia people are hungry as a result of massive disinvestment,capital flight comming from kidnappings and general business failures.

So, there is corruption in the SEAT OF POWER there in ASO ROCK. If they dust themselves properly,the Legislators and the Judiciary, then the Governors, ministers,commissioners, cabinate Directors, councillors,Bank directors,service chiefs,police and customs just to mention but few and give absolute power and free hand to the EFCC, these corruption business will stop. How can a nation of over 150 million people only roughly 1000 people in power of various levels are ammassing billions for themselves and their family, this is not how to run a nation. This is stupidity,madness of the highest order

From a local government councillor to MR President, non of them gives account to the people they are leading, and the people, the masses do not ask them to give account every 3 months on how they are running Nigeria. Everything is messy, they are only interested in protecting themselves, buying the Army, the police chiefs to give them protection as they continue their looting.

Jonathan is not going to do any magic about corruption because his party the PDP is an embodiment of corruption.

This nation must ban the office of FIRST LADY, it has no meaning to us, it is an avenue for propoganda,pomposity,witch hunting and corruption, we are not interested,this nonsense has not been existing only to be introduced and approved by IBB.

I will continue to fight and critise anything that will not encourage peace and harmony in this Nigeria. Just immagine the level of awareness created in this nation through Education and exposures in our various endeviours only to recieve as reward back to our nationals ADMNISTRATIVE SHAME.
- A nation that has no system
- A nation whose presidents both former and present are corrupt
-A nation their leaders dont live within their monthly salary
-A nation Law makers are givem 50million naira bribery each from their president to elongate his tenure.
-A nation the Law makers, are giving bribes to vote any bill on the table.
-A nation Judges receives huge bribes to perverts justice.
-A nation that does not care about their nationals in overseas and African nations
-A nation the president awards contracts to his private companies and friends
-A nation that has a fake budget
-A nation with the most brutal law enforcement Agencies that extort money from motorists and block highways with drums and nails.
-A nation without Electricity that imports generator from Asia
-A nation that has petrol without a refinery
-A nation with damaged dusty highways
-A nation full of greedy people that lives above their income
-A nation that dumps waste on their streets and stuff their sewage system with massive waterproof and green wastes
-A nation that has running taps in only selected cities
-A nation whose standard of education has fallen so low that parents sent their wards to Ghana for University education.
-A nation whose nationals are scattered along west Africa nation,squatting and being at the mercy of their host nations. But this nation prides itself as a giant of Africa.
-A nation whose nationals glorify ill gotten wealth, either riches gotten through ritual killings,419 fraudsters etc, a nation where every dick and tom receives unmerited chietaincy titles with N10,000 payment to a demonic chief.
-A nation whose nationals and stake holders are members of one secret society locally or internationally, a nation of Godfatherism.
-A nation whose law enformcement agencies, the bad eggs among them negotiate with armed robbers before any operation.

You see my friend Amadi, the list is endless, this country is pure hell!.The only person that tried to do something different has been killed.Maybe Tunde Idiagbo could have change the tempo, pls not buhari, buhari was just a barber chair, and evidence has shown he has nothing to offer this nation.

So, if Jonathan cannot clean this messe, then all his sugar promises will be confined to the same dustbins.

mr. Peter Obi & Anambra Corpers

pls can som1 explain to me why mr. Peter Obi, d executive gov of Anambra state did not show any concern for anambra youth corps members serving in the north. This has been bortherin me for a long time now. Frm al i gathered Akpabio,Ohakim & so many others sent flights & security personels 4 their indigenes. Why must Anambra's case always remain on 'YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN'? No wonder he doesn't even tink of paying busary 2 Anambra students in school, yet he talks about educating d youths. I'll b prety sure if i conclude dat Anambra ppl are d most victims of d MADNESS in d north. Peter y are u so carefree about ur subjects? Why? Why?

Gov Yakowa beware of your enemies.

Before your arrival former gov Makarfi had terribly impoverished civil servants in the state where Kaduna state workers became the least paid in the nation. Smaller states like Zamfara, Jigawa, Gombe in fact, all the core Hausa fulani states were paying higher wages than Kaduna state, even when Namadi became the state gov, he never cared to address the enslavement of workers in the state for reasons best known only to them. It was the emergence of Yakowa that the state civil servants had their wages increased with 30%. Just before the election, the gov also promised to implement the N18,000 minimum wage, a development welcomed by the workers. However, there seems to be a twist of event lately as it's being noised around that, the gov is now saying he will only pay 10% having given 30% long before the issue of the N18,000 came to a conclusion. We are aware that there're some that would rather he fails, but the gov's integrity informs the reason most of the workers voted PDP into power, suffered attacks. His excellency should not condescend to this evil counsel, workers are holding him in high esteem! Long live our hero, gov Yakowa! long live Kadunans! Long live Kaduna State! Long live Nigeria!

CONGRATULATIONS TO GOV PATRICK YAKOWA OF KADUNA.

A man of the people, an epitome of peace, a symbol of unity, one who never pulls down another to stand up. I congratulate you with the whole of my being. Within the little space of time you assumed the leadership of this great state of ours, you have restored great confidence in governance, ford between the southern and northern Kaduna. Your good works speak for you, silent achiever, a detribalized leader. You and your Oga GEJ are both products of divine providence. Therefore, whoever fights you shall meet with the divine wrath. So lead like the good shephard though there may be some challenges, never loose focus, look to Him who has appointed you a leader over His people. May He keep you, amen!

Kaduna the next civil strife battle field?

Buhari resides in Kaduna, is he planning to break away with his CPC group of illiterate killers? Why can't he shift the factory from Safin guza to Daura? It's evident that the weapons were intended to be used to topple the govt. A botched coup attempt- God will deal with all those troubling this country. Is Bakare really aware of what he is supporting? History will remember them!
