cc: JagabanB the fucking zomboid
If u are tagging me to his statement, I am really amazed at the IeveI of ur steewpidity.
"Nigeriàñ poIiticîàñs are the dûmbèst creàtûrès I have ever seen..." That's a generalized statement which the comment u are tagging me to debunks, u should learn comprehension.
It helps.

I don’t think JagabanB is wrong about elite, but you both are arguing on both right and wrong premises.

Being dumb, does not imply that one can’t have power. A dumb man can still be an elite because they wield massive amount of power and that qualify them as an elite.

Some school of thought argue that elitism must encompass only intelligence, education, and merit instead of wealth/power. They believe those are the true elites.

Some also argue that elitism should be based on only power and wealth. If you align with this school of thought, the Nigeria politicians are elite.

Below is the screenshot of the definition JagabanB gave.

"Nigeriàñ poIiticîàñs are the dûmbèst creàtûrès I have ever seen..." Is the statement I am countering, unIess u agree with him that all poIiticîàñs are dûmb especially in Nigeria, then u cañ't say I am arguing on the wrong premises, my arguments are plain to understand.

I've been following your argument and I can't make out head or tail of it, in both definitions presented, the useless politicians didn't make the cut, so why exactly are you trying to transform anywhere Belle face politicians to what they are not (elites)
When u want to understand a particular concept, don't take sides, u have taken sides about the politicians, I cañ't help u here.

I've had this argument with him before and his argument is premised on the rhetoric that if politicians are dumb, they won't rule over the intelligent ones. In other words, political power is based on a pyramid of intelligence. The more intelligent you are, the more political power you acquire. That's been his stand and I'm aware he's making the stand based on his chosen career of hero worshipping. He's telling himself he worships those personalities because they are the best of the best.
Excusing Tinubu from the discussion for a moment, because he at least qualifies as an intelligent person, how do you fit a Yahaya Bello and his acquisition of power into that theory for example. What of former President Jonathan? He got to the highest office in the land and from his trajectory which started from vying for House of Assembly member, he hardly lifted a finger to push his cause. He was just usually a beneficiary of circumstances.
Back to Tinubu, (and I'll refer to my earlier comparison of Mark Antony and Nero) can Tinubu be said to be the most brilliant politician from the SW in our history? He got to the highest office through scheming, planning and intelligent moves but are you seriously going to place him above Awolowo in terms of brilliance and leadership? Awolowo was two classes above his peers that is, Ahmadu Bello and Azikiwe. His brilliance and vision still reverberates all around SW till this day. Yet he couldn't even hold his SW down nor beat those two who were not as smart or insightful as he was. Is Tinubu now a smarter man than Awolowo simply because Awolowo refused to play politics without principles all because of pursuit of power?

He gave a premise for that statement which you can't counter but just rambling.
Explain how 25 members, who are aware of the Constitution and what it says about defection and the fact that a supreme Court judgement has affirmed that same provision just last year are not dumb to have defected. They held the ace while they remained in PDP and have lost that edge by that singular defection. Explain how that's not a dumb move you'll expect of simpletons. That's what Blue3k based his statement on.

The average Nigerian is very intelligent, logical, sophisticated, enlightened when sitting behind the keyboard while others are dûmb.
Just like u think u are wiser than them now.
One thing I have noticed about dûmb people is that they are quick to call others dûmb, intelligent people doñ't talk so much about intelligence like intelligent wannabes.
If u are so smart, u should be beating at the polls not the other way round.

U are probably lost about my stance, intelligent people always stand out in the society, Plato stood out, Confucius stood, Albert Einstein, Shakespeare, Woke Soyinka, Chimamanda Adichi, Chinua Achebe are these folks politicians?
My point has been simple, if only u read it with a clean señsè.
"nigeriàñ poIiticîàñs are the dûmbèst creàtûrès I have ever seen" this statement factors in the likes of Awolowo, Soludo, Donald Duke, Fashola, the late Akeredolu, Peter Odili, Nasir El-Rufai, can u really tell urself that these men are people who someone who has no identity or stand in the society quaIifies to call them the dûmbèst creàtûrès he has ever seen?
U are attackîñg because of my moniker not because of anything else.
The talk is between the OP who made the post and the political class, I have indulged u so long on ur extra topical analyses, from here to Rome to within same political class.
If the poIiticaI class are so dûmb like the OP typed, why is not their equal or above them.
It must not necessarily be in politics since he said he is not interested in politics, how great is his chosen career?
If Wole Soyinka said this, we will struggle to argue.

Okay I get the drift of your argument. You have a point.

Awo is everything you call him. That man is the most brilliant of the list of politicians I’ve known through Nigeria history.

You're trying to muddle up the discussion. Blue3k gave a premise for his claim about Nigerian politicians and it is based on the Rivers scenario. Even the average mind will agree the move by those guys is dumb.
You on the other hand based the premise of your claim on the fact that one can't be intelligent and be ruled by people who are below him in intelligence and that intelligence is a requirement in the acquisition of power.
So bringing in Awolowo when the Op's premise is on the 25 Rivers lawmakers is simply whataboutism to cover your dumb stand.

The best you can get is to say he shouldn't have generalized but his premise is very correct. You on the other hand are totally wrong. You're trying to paint your assertion as a tit for tat whereas you inadvertently claimed that only intelligent people get power. That's a dumb claim and I've made it very clear with my examples which you keep pooh-poohing over since it exposed how dumb your stand is

"Nigeriàñ poIiticîàñs are the dûmbèst creàtûrès I have ever seen" is the statement I have been trying to correct, if he's so super intelligent that the politicians in Nigerîà today are the dûmbèst creàtûrès he has ever seen, he wóñ't be ruled by them.
He went ahead to say he is not interested in politics, present ur career and business to us let's see how ur intelligence that makes u believe Nigeriàñ poIiticîàñs are the dûmbèst creàtûrès u ever seen, he doesn't have one, just one of the unknown miIIions who thinks he knows alot simply because he's sitting behind a keyboard.
Somehow u believe 27 people who has succeeded in different endeavors are all wrong in making a particular move.

U all dón't understand what goes on behind the scenes, u think they just woke up called each other and said "let's move".
U can't judge a man's move untiI u wear his shoes.
Nigeriàñs are very great when it comes to making analyses.
When u see a Nigeriàñ analyzing football u will think he's a very great footballer who will out play the greatest of players or he will be a great manager who will manage every game to victory, put them in the game and u see how èmpty they are, same as those who criticizè movies, they cañ't produce or direct or even act properly, it's same with those who criticizè Ioads of music.
U cañ't possibly sit in ur room and assume they are dûmb by making that move, that's what intelligence does.
Intelligence doesn't make u think others are so dûmb, it makes u think why they made that move.
My point is not even about the Rivers politics it's about the Iousy statement made the f00Iish Blue3k or whatever he's called.
I am sure he cañ't beat the likes of Fashola, El-Rufai, Ambode, Donald Duke, Peter Odili, Sullivan Chime, Zulum etc on a scale of inteIIigence, somehow, he's f00Iish enough to classify them as the "dûmbèst creàtûrès" he has ever seen.

You're just rambling. It's very obvious to even a kid that those guys defected because they hoped that will get the president on their side since they are defecting to his party.
It has worked as the President has issued "directives" to the governor to recognize them and even re-present the budget to them.
However, it's a dumb move because the underlying fact still shows that regardless of the president's stance, those lawmakers have lost their seats. That's what the Constitution says and the president is not above the Constitution. He is a creation of the Constitution as well so everything or anything he does or orders outside of the Constitution amounts to an illegality. That's the premise upon which they are dumb.

Your illustration is meaningless. You're be that example implying that there's a professional training to qualify as a politician which Jonathan does not have which is why he's clueless. I'm beginning to understand why you think politicians are intelligent and you their servants are dumb now. So Tinubu got his professional qualification as a politician from where?
Dumb politicians make it to the top a lot of times. Wike has shown how dumb he is a couple of times. He may be rugged but there's nothing smart or intelligent in his brand of politics. I've given you sundry examples as well. A federal house speaker who already had the minimum qualification required by law but went ahead to forge a needless certificate so he can look good is super dumb. No cap

As far as the law is concerned they have been rejected. It's obvious you're not following the news neither are you conversant with the matter. Ehie has written to INEC to replace them with new members via elections.
Besides that, it is the position of the law which has been decided by SC that they are no longer lawmakers.
The problem of hero worshippers like you is your warped reasoning. Tinubu is who he is today because of the dictates if the Constitution. You his followers can't do shit on his behalf. He relies on state apparatus provided by the Constitution to exercise power over the country.
Your talk about emotions applies more to you than me. In the eyes of the Constitution devoid of any sentiments, those guys are no longer lawmakers. Whatever is going on behind the scene cannot supersede the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This is why I don't rate a lot of you political urchins. There's no logic you can't turn on its head just to suit your Masters.
After claiming people gain political power because they are intelligent, you just committed another faux pas by claiming defected lawmakers still remain lawmakers devoid of emotions. What logic supports that claim? None. Just sentiment that Tinubu said so. Darn!!

As far as the law is concerned they have been rejected. It's obvious you're not following the news neither are you conversant with the matter. Ehie has written to INEC to replace them with new members via elections.
Besides that, it is the position of the law which has been decided by SC that they are no longer lawmakers.

I have told u repeatedly that I am not interested in Rivers politics, I am not replying this post because of Rivers politics but rather the generalized statement made by the poster.
I dón't even follow the news.
The law is not what Iaymen interprets it to be.
If it is what laymen interprets it to be, Ahmed Lawal wóñ't be in the Senate today because what he did is a vióIatîón of the Iaw.
I don't even want to go into that aspect with u because extra topical jargons are what u have been typing to keep urseIf in this argument for almost 2 weeks now.

Your illustration is meaningless. You're be that example implying that there's a professional training to qualify as a politician which Jonathan does not have which is why he's clueless. I'm beginning to understand why you think politicians are intelligent and you their servants are dumb now. So Tinubu got his professional qualification as a politician from where?
Dumb politicians make it to the top a lot of times. Wike has shown how dumb he is a couple of times. He may be rugged but there's nothing smart or intelligent in his brand of politics. I've given you sundry examples as well. A federal house speaker who already had the minimum qualification required by law but went ahead to forge a needless certificate so he can look good is super dumb. No cap
I gave u one example, aside politics, in their career, can u measure up to them?
Someone can be rûthIess, wîckèd or grèèdy, it doesn't mean they are dûmb like the poster is suggesting talk more of being the dûmbèst creàtûrès.
Being the head means u must have acquired certain training through mentorship on how decisions are made, that's the qualification u need.
So the example is very very vaIid.
GEJ was very cIueIess in governance, I can't teII u he is dûmb, because he's obviously not dûmb, if u are more intelligent than him, u should be standing taII in the society like WoIe Soyinka, like a SAN, an accomplished engineer, architect, business moguI, a renowned doctor etc.
But u are non.
Yet u say people who have succeeded in different fields like this before poIitics are dûmb.

Lol. Blue3k com and see something.
I'm beginning to see you as a self-defeatist dude who suffers from a serious case of inferiority complex.

May I ask what exactly is the pedigree of those RSHA guys outside politics that makes me not able to measure up to them? Ehie just got his PhD from RSUST. Amaewhule does not have either. Outside politics, no one knows them.

Even Jonathan that you are referring to graduated with a second class upper in zoology and studied up to PhD while a lecturer at UniPort. Is that the pedigree you think I can't measure up to outside politics? What is Wike's achievement outside politics that's he's been at since 1999?

I'm not going to brag about myself but I can assure you my CV is far more intimidating than for just someone with PhD to think he's Superior to me. One of my subordinates at work is a PhD student presently. Most of those guys in RSHA were picked by Wike for their subservience to him not pedigree in their chosen field so quit the hype. You can tell me their success in their chosen field.

It's also obvious you're ignorant of the makeup of our politics. A career staff like me who is working outside his state of origin can't get into politics in my state of residence because political posts are indigene based in Nigeria.

I have my school mates who have held political posts, one of which is Obanikoro's son who was in HoR. Are you now saying I can't measure up to him since he's made HoR and I'm yet to? Banky W has been chasing that same seat like forever. I'm sure to you he's not as successful as those who have won the seat.
You need to quit this your self-defeatism. Don't project yourself on me.

Funny enough, at the end of the day, Bulkachuwa let the cat out of the bag for Lawan's case. It should also interest you they the SC did not rule in the substance if the matter but on the technicality of writ of summons vs originating summons.
You're not wise enough to know that the case if defection has been settled by supreme Court already which means it can't be relitigated.
Go and get a proper understanding of how law works.

Nigerian politicians are probably the dumbest creatures. The actions of the Rivers state assembly men had no strategic value. 27 is greater than 4. More importantly, it's a veto proof majority. This means they could impose their collective agenda regardless of the governor's opinion.

Defecting is simply a symbolic gesture that accomplishes nothing that they couldn't do in their current party. If they did want to defect, it could wait until the next election. The only reason for the theatrical mass defection is to say APC controls one more houses of assembly.
They believe they can get everything they want by doing eye service to Tinubu. To them, the president is bigger than the constitution. They also underestimate the power of a state governor in Nigeria.

Unknownly to them, Tinubu would secretly like to checkmate Wike ahead of 2027.

It's a good thing it didn't follow ur Iayman interpretation of the Iaw, u simply made the work easy for me.
Iaymen like u all interpreted the Iaw that Lawal should be out, today u are defending why he's not out, in few months time, u will defend why the Rivers law makers are not out because u want to make another Iame argument.
If u have a proper understanding of how the Iaw works, u wóñ't have been singing that the Rivers Iaw makers are no longer Iaw makers as u were singing few weeks ago.
Ur last paragraph is an advice u should give yourself.

Didn't read after ur first paragraph, u obviously Iack the depth to stay on the topic because u dón't have anything to say, the reason u have stayed long in the replies is because I indulged ur extra topical jargons, if I had knocked u back from ur very first reply u wouldn't have had anything to say.
