If the Igbos choose to align with the North as they always do is non of our business. Their alliance during the first republic how does it end. It ended in the civil war. The outcome of which is now history. If they like they can fall into tut he same mistake. It is non of our business. The Presidency or oneness of Nigeria is secondary. Safety of our life and property is primary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836420445638729468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-22611696972237036752020-01-21T06:37:58.054-05:002020-01-21T06:37:58.054-05:00https://www.thecable.ng/full-text-the-dissenting-j...https://www.thecable.ng/full-text-the-dissenting-judgment-that-gave-hope-to-uzodinmapaul imajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707368107274309097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-20727067577155993912020-01-21T06:33:46.521-05:002020-01-21T06:33:46.521-05:00My prof, I am sure that you like many social criti...My prof, I am sure that you like many social critics and activists that have made negative comments and snide remarks on the judiciary especially the CJN have not read the dissenting judgement from the court of appeal that gave rise to the supreme court judgement.But since we know that our country is one given to emotions and sentiments instead of raw facts, you continue to propound hopeless conspiracy theories that pander to our love for rumour mongering. I urge you to make out time to read that judgement then go back and rewrite your piece. Even if we are social critics who have vowed to change the society for the good of all, we are under obligation to do it with clear facts and not unnecessary propanda that only helps to further agitate and create a false atmosphere for those we have vowed to free from the clutches of underdevelopment and misgovernance. Prof, read the dissenting judgement.paul imajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707368107274309097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-60624756016469970132020-01-20T06:57:02.054-05:002020-01-20T06:57:02.054-05:00The great jagaban may have his many shortcomings b...The great jagaban may have his many shortcomings but nativity is not on the list, as the game progress he is also watching with his ace up his sleeve,it is not politically expedient for him to bare it all on Amotokun, he is a Yoruba man first before being a Nigerian.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176021651415531478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-75304518384138771792020-01-20T03:45:24.932-05:002020-01-20T03:45:24.932-05:00Apt.

He knew all this as far back as after the 2015 elections but he has decided to keep a date with destiny in 2023. He has made his decision: either now or never. Come to think of it what exactly do you think he should now to appease the north? The South East and South South will never have anything to do with him. If he opposes the North openly now, that will give the north the excuse to finish him much earlier. No doubt this is the greatest battle of his life and as a tested warrior he knows it but cowering is not an option for the Jagaban. At the same time you dont provoke your antagonist prematurely to battle in his days of power and advantage.

However, we have been this road before where every pundits propound theories about a supposed cabal holding the rest of the country to their own game. Yeah everyone had been talking about resilient this cabal have been but that doesn't mean all their game plans have been successful. Let's wait and see if this analysis will hold true in 2023 but nevertheless the business of punditry has become all comers game. kaybosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840539834304607445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-17462963527452299152020-01-18T01:21:38.928-05:002020-01-18T01:21:38.928-05:00The inevitable will happen sadly.The inevitable will happen sadly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496785634545130465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-41771455292294420932020-01-18T00:04:27.646-05:002020-01-18T00:04:27.646-05:00True talk.
