Pete Edochie chose Obafemi Awolowo over Zik and over every other Igbo politician of their day. He gave his reasons based on verifiable facts for his choice, he said Awolowo introduced free primary education in the South West and every child living in that region, irrespective of tribe benefitted from it. He said Awolowo brought the first Television station in Nigeria. It was two or three years later that South East got theirs.
At the end, this illustrious son of Igbo land wondered why Awolowo never became Nigeria's president. His second favorite politician back then was Michael Okpara.
There are two groups of idiots that emerged from Pete Edochie's remarks: 1. Igbo idiots who got angry at him for what they perceived as preference for others over his tribes men. They are angry, sad and disillusioned that Pete spoke highly of a Yoruba man. The truth or lies about what he said means nothing to them, that's why they are idiots.
2. Yoruba Idiots who gloated with what Pete Edochie said to boast about how their tribe is the best thing to have happened to the blue planet since the asteroids delivered water from outer space. They used it to brag about how they are better than the Igbos. Their bloated jingoism blinded them from seeing the beauty of the character that just exemplified a path everyone should follow.
When it kills you to accept the truth that the finest human beings are not from your tribe, religion and ethnicity, you are an IDIOT. The things you complain about someone else you will shut up when another you 'like' because of tribe, religion and some other sentiments do same or worse.
You'd rather choose the most vicious and deplorable lot who are from your tribe and religion over them. You are wasting brain, you shouldn't have one at all.
@adeyemijedediah@jideeverblazin@Row_Haastrup@JoshuaA80249436 Maybe you didn't watch the video. She was actually correcting him based on the source of the data. NBS data is our own data and if you quoting another source which we don't know then it's False, then he has to be corrected immediately not to mislead the public.
@YusufMosobalaje@ruffydfire Lets pick a case with Lere, what did Rufai ask that warranted that kind of response from Him? Was the question rude?? No! But Lere response was un called for.
@Mikkyjay74@sirlablu@ARISEtv About 2.1 Million beneficiary of the NELFUND, with this how would you say this is growth?? It simply looks like palliative. For me as a Nigerian, I can't pinpoint any benefits instead I pay more for my livelihood. This is how I see it. Except there is somthing I'm dnt understand
@Mikkyjay74@sirlablu@ARISEtv When we say the growth of Nigeria, I am really struggling to see it. See ba if the growth is not trickled down to the Masses then what kind of growth is that?? and what percentage of the Masses are really feeling this growth. THE NELFUND how many percentage of the people are....
@BDaunsi@ruffydfire I can respect your view on this, however can we now talk about the questioned asked and data and why will he want to use another data that isnt verified to make his point while she uses the NBS data.
@BDaunsi@ruffydfire And i don't think its to humiliate them. She was giving clarity on the data collation process and how it came to be, cos he was saying he doesn't agree, meaning he doesn't agree with NBS data and its wrong you cant just use your own criteria for data colation and force it on us
@BDaunsi@ruffydfire The cutting in yes I might agree with you. But we let that take the essence of the interview and it shouldn't be. We might scold her but the essence of the interview should still remain. The Data Source is still NBS not where he got his own except we don't trust out DATA source.
@BDaunsi@ruffydfire Why are we like this? If you focus on what she said and where she got her data I don't think you will say what you are saying ?? Should Journalists not ask questions again?
@RayOlumekor@ARISEtv But as a guest that was invited or chose to come then be ready to answer the question. RUFAI simply asked a question, but Lere already had bad blood towards Rufai. Atleast the question wasnt derogatory.
@Onsogbu Fair amd Balance?? When they were looking were they acting fair and balanced?? When they where lying were they acting fair and balanced?? You don't expect that Hard questions won't be asked. If Lere had answered well then we won't be here saying all this.
