Nigeria should split up already.

We have tried, haven't we?

It's time to try something else.

This humongous contraption has exceeded it sell by date.

It is now only beneficial to degenerates of the society.

BTW, Jonathan now forming elder statesman is hilariously saddening.

A man who benefited immensely from the dysfunctional system of the nation.

Goodluck Jonathan is actually one of the few people in the whole world who can accuse African Leaders of wanting to remain in power forever without sounding like a hypocrite.

FORMER President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday said Africa politicians are replacing military coups with political coup d’ tat to remain in power but he, however, insisted that such cannot sustain the African continent.

President Jonathan stated this while speaking on behalf of other awardees at the 17th graduation ceremony of Igbinedion University Okada, Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State.
He was honoured with the degree of Doctor of Science by the Igbinedion University. He said “What happened in the last governorship elections in my state, Bayelsa and Kogi state. “Especially in Kogi state when that young lady was burnt alive in her house, something that should not happen in any normal society. Something is fundamentally wrong with our political system. “Only yesterday in the Ndjame Niger Republic, we were discussing the politics of our continent. Most of us former Heads of State, Presidents, former presidents, vice presidents. “The way Africa politics is going we are replacing military coup with a political coup de’ta and that cannot sustain the continent”, he said.

He pleaded with politicians to play politics by its rules for the overall interest of Nigerians and commended the founder of the University for his perseverance and doggedness for sustaining the university over the years saying that government alone cannot champion the course of its citizen’s education alone. He also called on the founder of the institution to resuscitate his moribund Okada Airline to add to the nation’s aviation sector adding that Nigerians wanted it back. Earlier, the Hon. Chancellor, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion, said the institution, in its first 20 years, has graduated well over 1000 doctors while the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) says it has inducted only a little over 82,000 medical doctors. The Institution’s Deputy Chancellor, Lucky Igbinedion who spoke for his father, the Hon. Chancellor of the institution, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion also said the World Health Organization (WHO) disclosed that Nigeria needs a total of 237,000 doctors for efficient healthcare delivery but only 35,000 doctors are available. On his part, the pro-chancellor and chairman, governing council, Prof. Sheikh Amhed Abdullah, he tasked the students to use the knowledge gathered over the years to transform the country. Also speaking, the Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki while commending the university for its success recorded since its inception, said his administration has invested much in the education sector through the introduction of the EDOBEST programme where teachers are trained and retrained stressing that it has made students and pupils move from schooling to learning.

He is referring to President Muhammadu Buhari who is nursing a 3rd term presidential ambition and also nursing a northern agenda.

Lies! Democracy is not entirely alien to Africans.Long before the whites came Africa-at least some parts of Africa had been practising democracy. The Igbo clan system and the Yoruba political structure. Democracy is innate in every mortal. It simply means equal participation by representation.It was not invented by the whites.They only modernised it.

Complicated? Or pig headed?

It stems from the peculiar manner in which many Africans manage their households and spreads to everything else. If you use economic and physical violence and brutality to raise your children why would reason and logic work in other areas later in life?

Yes, in parts of the south south there were elected 'kings', essentially presidents and rule by consensus. It was never a case of hereditary rule as in most of Europa.

But it was not universal suffrage. I don't think that works anywhere. You give the average man a vote and they will vote stupidly. See America with Trump, the UK with Brexit and Brasil with Bolsonaro.

Africans are complicated. We have very diverse cultures and belief systems. But most importantly Africans are the first humans so we are very very ancient.

We need another system of government... cry . It only works in Botswana Namibia.
We need a new system that will make the black race shine and stop living to racist stereotypes.

you are very right from all fronts. I strongly believe we should introduce our traditional monarchical system into governance.
before colonialism we had a functional traditional system of government.

When you have been manipulated to think like you are thinking now without even knowing it, thats when you are controlled. I am not controlled. Are you?

why do you hate people who voted for trump? why do you hate people who want brexit?

do you ever consider their concerns.

Look, the world is not a global village and no, the world is not becoming that anytime soon. Humans are tribal and always would want to look out for their own. They want people who felt their pain and are willing to protect them.

I hate this idea that people who voted for trump are bad. you want to make it look like they're the worst set of people on earth, as such should not be given the right to vote. But yourself want the right to vote in who you think is the right person. Talk about double standards.

Stop feeling you're intellectually superior to people who vote i people you don't like. First thing you should look at and consider is their concerns and what these people they're voting for are willing to do about that.

These trump voters are as good as you(anybody can go here) and they're as bad as you. You're not very much different.
They might be better contributors to the society than yourself.


Lastly, they're not voting stupidly. They're voting for those who will protect them, their rights and their concerns. Always let that sink.
