This evil legacies bubu is leaving behind...i hope his fulani brothers will be able to watch the movies after his tenure esp if power miraculously turn to the east...

If wishes were horses even beggars would ride . Only way power goes to the East in the next 20 years is if PHCN miraculously generates power

Oga, Muslims from the North get mind to misbehave for this government, we don't want to imagine how things will be like when it's a Muslim-Muslim ticket. When Christian-Christian ticket looks likely, you can come back to preach this nonsense. Enough with your liberalism. Naija no ready for such

So when will 9ja be ready? You might as well waive the white flag and continue the slave like relationship because it sounds like the fear of the North is what's holding this country from becoming great......Either you fight or surrender, you cannot be medicore!

ityP:
Lmao.... Stop trying to be smart by half.... Two truths can exists. We want competent individuals, but not at the expense of people feeling marginalised. Competent, inclusive governance is what we want. Stop disguising

Are people not feeling marginalized now? Apart from Northerners/Fulanis, which other part of the country can confidently trust this government? You want competent and inclusive government yet you base your selection on religion, since when did competency have anything to do with religion?....STOP TALKING WITH BOTH SIDES OF YOUR MOUTH PROFESSOR!

ityP:
You are deceiving yourself. In every geopolitical zone and every religious group, there exists a competent individual. If marginalisation is your definition of providing us competent leaders, then you're a big hypocrite

That's what you derived from what I wrote? Nigerian education does it again

ityP:
You are the one that should stop clowning. If a southern Muslim wants the presidency, he would have no choice than to pick a northern Christian as Vice. Or are you trying to tell us that no competent northern Christian is available for the position of Vice President? Let your love for Tinubu not make you become blind. This is NAIJA and religious affiliation is very much a thing in the politics of the day

Nobody gives a flip about Tinubu being president or not, what's more important is getting the right person there, you clowns are busy focusing on religion and abandoning competency yet turn around when it bites you in the ass. It's what gave us GEJ, it gave us Buhari and if the trend continues, it will surely give us another clown in office. What's the point of Osibanjo when he has no power or balls to effect positive changes for Christians especially those being terrorized? What's the point of Buhari when more Muslims have been killed under his watch than any other democratically elected president in Nigeria?

You can continue using the excuse of religion to cover up failure or you can become enlightened and realize the system is not working, voting based on religion is the hallmark of inept societies, afterall our leaders are reflections of our mindset. Buhari's failure is your failure, your parents' failure and your community's failure. Sumus qui sumus(We are what we are)!

Afriqan:
Everything is an opinion, that doesn't mean there is no right or wrong opinion...

Regardless, you're free to hold on to your views, but remember you quoted me trying to critique what you didn't understand. It doesn't work that way cos you were unable to prove to me that my assertions about the influence of religion in the Nigerian society is flawed.

Now try to read to understand (stop that bad habit of picking points to argue again and again without learning):

Politicians are way smarter than most of you guys. While you try to use western ideologies in Nigeria, they just use Nigerian ideologies in Nigeria to subjugate, dominate and manipulate the people and cash out continuously. They understand the power of religion and other demographic tools and use them well... But quasi-educated and -enlightened people like yourself would come out and try to apply western ideology to the uneducated 'mallam' in Jigawa... Most of us- the educated class- are not as smart as we think!

Sounds like more excuses upon excuses, they understand the power of religion so we should just accept it and play along? You claim the uneducated ones/Mallams are indoctrinated to religion and politicians are capitalizing on it, so why do you want to keep repeating the same cycle?

Should it not be the job of the educated/enlightened ones to open the eyes of the uneducated ones? Why accept defeat or status quo? I'm sure some of us educated simpletons are religious as well. The Nigerian way, the African way has been used so many times to justify cruel, wicked and plain disgusting ways of doing things, we can do better, we have to do better otherwise what's the point? You might as well say Nigeria is doomed and continue eating, sleeping like nothing matters!

I'll go back to the original critique, if Christian presidents/vice presidents have had no positive impact on policies protecting Christians especially those in the North, why continue the charade? What did Goodluck or Osibanjo do for Christian lives and safety? You honestly sit here and tell me you believe it is better to ignore competent leaders and favor incompetent ones just because of religion? Forget about the uneducated ones, what do you BELIEVE?

Afriqan:
People like you only read to criticize and argue than to understand the text and opinion in each write-up.

I'm glad you called it opinion, now read the definition of opinion and explain why you do not need to be criticized for your limited point of view!

Forgodsgrace:
Oga no dey deceive yourself,with the latest happenings in town,same faith candidates can’t work.you can imagine presenting a Muslim Muslim candidates to the middle belters where Fulanis are killing them turning their land to refugee camp and taking over their lands or Easterners.This is not 1993,Be sensitive for once.

What has Osibanjo done for those people? Afterall is he not a Christian? What did Goodluck Jonathan do for them? You're the insensitive one, in advanced societies competency usually outweighs sentiments, so you mean to those middle belters they would rather choose a clueless Christian president over an competent Islamic one? No wonder things keep falling apart......Stop clowning!

Afriqan:
There's nothing parochial about it sir. You're most likely a free-minded individual, most likely a non-practicing Christian, but what people like you refuse to understand is that religion plays a huge rule in the political inclination and policy creation of each regime.

A Muslim-Muslim ticket would trigger less sensibility to issues regarding Christians, like religious violence and persecution of the churches in the north, a Christian-Christian ticket would also trigger Islamic organizations and leaders to attribute any decision made in the country to the religious orientation of the presidential office holders.

Take it or leave it, your current position does not in any way apply to the polity we have in the country. So you need to understand that true intelligence involves knowing what works in each society and what doesn't....

You've successfully boxed yourself in, is Osibanjo a Muslim? Why hasn't he been able to put forth more Chirstian minded policies? Why are Chirstians still being killed? When will you people realize religion should be the last thing we use to ever decide who should lead! Must we do everything backwards in this country? So you mean if two Muslims/Christians represented the best chance for progress in the country, you would object? Na wa o!

We all know the case would be thrown out but by the time it does, the man would have chopped serious beating at the station/cell, extorted and possibly suffer months before an actual court date. This is the Nigerian justice system, if you don't have money, don't know people in high places, no dey do pass yourself.....It's very risky!

mysteriousD:
My dear dumb hirer...always conduct your due diligence before inviting applicants for a role.you already have a budget for the role for christsake and also have the cvs before they are invited ...applicants are humans like YOU seeking to find better opportunities. If your basis for negotiations was their previous engagement salary/wages most would not even apply....
I can also see you have quickly listed your achievements....you have hired over 30 teams member probably through this method and most likely they are underpaid going by your demeanor
You are classically above the primitive Nigeria...the quick use of the dollar sign to depecit the inferiority complex u suffer..
I suggest you once again conduct due diligence get enlightened stop asking applicants stupid questions but unfortunately your egocentric,myopic and dumb nature will rather reply this than read relevant practices to be enlightened.

Again, you type like an incoherent person, your write-up exposes the issue here, you lack exposure and inability to comprehend simple sentences! I believe your experience describes your immediate surroundings so I cannot fault you for that, you can't possibly phantom my point of view or of those employed outside of Nigeria so no need for us to keep dragging this out, the words are there for anyone to view and it is easy for the readers to decide who is dumb and myopic between you and I, I've already given you too much credibility by responding to your disparaging comment, enough of this tomfoolery......PEACE!

At this point nothing should surprise anyone again about Nigeria.........

mysteriousD:
You can tell your potential employer it's confidential.its bad Hr practice...They have no business with how much you earned previously.

Would you keep quiet! Bad HR practice? Una go just dey type rubbish all in the name of yarning, I have probably hired over 30 different team members over the past 4 years and current salary allows us to have a good starting point for negotiations especially for well qualified candidates. We can't offer someone currently making $80,000 a year lesser money for the same job or higher position, it would most certainly be a deal breaker and besides all pay information can be verified easily for those of us overseas, it is only primitive nations like Nigeria where things are hidden or hard to get.

Friends and family, no need but some exceptions apply to potential new employer, contracts and so on, even your padi can ask you such a question if he is venturing into the same field and wants to verify that he would get paid what he deserves.....

P.S. Hope you won't get upset when you woo a girl and her father asks you what you do for a living and how much you are paid

Davash222:
Only a foolish person will ask someone how much do you earn, and only a senseless fellow will answer such question.

So I'm guessing you consider a potential employer foolish for asking what you currently make? Unnecessary pride and secrets have had many people rolling in mediocrity for generations!

barojana:
I understand how you feel. I'm sorry you feel this way.

However note the following.

1) the revenge you are about to embark on would not heal you or make you feel better about your wife. You would only continue to despise her.

2) you are about to tempt God with your finances. Don't do it! If God is the source of your financial breakthrough then you are about to play a dangerous game. God would rather save your soul and take away your finances and live you in poverty.

3) forgive her and move on with your life.

Forgive her for what exactly? The guy is insane and a dimwit, he has no business being in a relationship not to talk of marriage.....He's a classic example of why God chooses to leave some people in poverty.....SHAME!

Another Kolomental talking

Goodluck with your sanity

shiwex:
If by now you are still waiting for God to come and show you the that Tinubu is not the man for Nigeria , then you are economically shallow. What Nigeria needs are people that have been proven to be achievers. It is obvious that people like Tinubu have nothing to offer Nigeria. If you are still thinking Tinubu is the saviour, you need to get your head checked out, Vote Tinubu if you like, Nigerians like suffering anyway. Countries like Rwanda, Ghana are moving ahead of Nigeria you are still thinking of Voting Tinubu..The mere fact that Tinubu is associated with a failure like Buhari has even disqualified him...

In short, you're looking for a fantasy, an El-Doraldo...lol. 2023 won't give you an angel as president, it is all about being pragmatic. Do you want power to stay in the North or do you want a Southern candidate? This is the real choice, every other thing is just sentimental buhaha......You might not like Tinubu but if we want to win against the North, we are going to need someone with huge political weight. It's either we face reality or just give up and allow the North to continue the status quo because I guarantee any Northern candidate will already have an advantage in the North becuase of sheep mentality so why are we sulking in the South?

The same eagles that gathered and sold Buhari to Nigerians as a reformed democrat are gathering again to sell Tinubu as a reformed thief.
The same way everyone jumped on the Buhari's bandwagon is the same way everyone seems to be jumping on Tinubu's bandwagon.

What are the Nigerian masses doing? They are busy talking about BBN, Maria, Jenamena, Tonto Dike, etc.

When push comes to shove, the masses will collect N2k and vote in Tinubu. I will be damned if I care about the lamentations of Nigerians.

Tinubu or whoever, last last na the same market all of us go shop. Who blinks first loses.

It is easy to criticize but much harder to put forth an actual solution. Who is your preferred candidate and how do you plan to convince the people that actually vote, the marketwomen, the traders, the agberos that your candidate is the right choice?

Plz who let you out of a mental home

He wrote the truth and many of you e-warriors don't realize it! We are not talking about who is good or morally right here, we are talking about who can realistically win the election against the Northern candidates. If yo uhave another candidate in the South that will be widely accepted let us know....lol.

Shey na mouth dem dey use leave marriage? Where's the divorce certificate? Okay he took off because his life was in danger, where is the restraining order and police report? Guy just talk say you follow kpekus go journey which one be disguise?

Daboomb:
What should bother us as Nigerians, is how somebody without a case file, gets sentenced to death!
Justice Olushola Williams, hopefully if he is still alive an probably even still in Service, needs a lot of explaining to do to Nigerians.

How can Pastor Ogundiper facilitate his release from the Death Row, if he was actually guilty of an offense that merits death sentence?
That is not how the Law and Justice should work.
Did he kill someone? How will the family of the Victim (if there was actually one!) feel, to see the killer out of Prison or not served his sentence?

While l am very delighted that an innocent man is not hanged for what he knows nothing about, l am equally alarmed that "Justice in Nigeria" is now about Who you know and that a Man can be hanged just because he as nobody to speak for him!

How do you keep someone on Death Row since 2013, the judgement is not executed and yet we complain of Over-Crowding in our Prisons?
I am not against the Death sentence because l am convinced that some Offenses need to attract such punishment, so we can get rid of such people from our society but you must never sentence a man to death, unless he is clearly Guilty (Like Kidnappers, Killer Herdsmen, Armed Robbers, terrorists, etc).
Any Judge who sentence an Innocent Man to Death, will have to answer to God, for the innocent life he terminated as a result of Corruption
Even his Children will also die prematurely or at the height of their own success.
We need to sanitise our Judicial System and Judicial officers, they are just too corrupt to be saddled with "Matters of Freedom or Life and Death".

This one is alarmed meanwhile Buhari is shocked....las las una go dey alright....keep pretending as if this is a surprising case, slap yourself and repeat after me, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN THE ZANGA ZOO!

As a Chelsea fan I can say confidently there's nothing wrong with CR7, Wenger just stated what we all know, the United team is not balanced! You cannot have a fridge as your CB and expect Varane to keep covering for him. You cannot keep playing players like Fred, Martial and Greenwood, this is not schoolyard football.

We all know Ole is not ready for a big team like United, just like Lampard, he's going to win some games but he is going to keep making crucial tactical mistakes. A 36 year old cannot be the solution to all your problems, sometimes tactics and solid defending is all you need, most certainly not chopping 5 goals at the hands of Liverpool!

Cousin9999:
No offense, but I don't believe you. lol

Sorry bud.....I can't control that

Cousin9999:
Not really.



I don't believe those percentages are the same.



I don't buy it.

Well I work with these data for a living as an auditor in the U.S., so I would advice you to do proper research.

Cousin9999:
This is racially motivated, plain and simple. Tons of Central Americans and Asians with phony documents and arrangements do this stuff all day. But they let it slide because those people basically agree to be tr4fficked.

Ton of them are also arrested on a daily basis, when your time don reach your time don reach, e no matter if you're white, pink or purple! More Hispanics are deported in the USA than Africans so there was nothing racial about this, furthermore I can guarantee you that one of the Africans that he helped snitched on him. The feds are not magicians they work best when they have informants and hints.

Everything for 9ja na cruise....We no longer speak directly but in parables and possibilties.....What the General wanted to say was that, Buhari defeated Boko Haram, they are no longer terrorists but bandits and herders......Forward progress.....WEREY

Thinktwicemybro:
If this is what Nigerians can choose as their leaders couple with the bullon van mogul, then Nigeria is finished. It's better you die inside cold in America than live in Nigeria.

Who did you put forth as alternative? Na so so mouth una dey make online, if you have a preferred candidate say it and let people know, strategize on making him or her known locally and nationally, no one is going to vote for a nobody....kapeesh!

If una like protest till thy kingdom come, only way things will ever change in 9ja is by violent revolution or a general change in the mindset of those that actually vote like the marketwomen, the agberos etc., most of us here on Nairaland will shout like sirens but when time to vote arrives, we hide inside and chop chicken.

Are you guys not tired of the deception? What was the point of EndSARS? What is the point of enduring the hardship under Buhari? Not one single youth party has been organized, no grassroot movement, NOTHING! Una want change and you believe you won't sacrifice blood, sweat and tears? Jokers!

Abujason:
Do you have any brains at all? These are no grounds for arrest and trial of a person anywhere in a civilized country. If so, they should start by arresting all posters on Nairaland including Seun for believing Buhari is an idiot, lifeless, incompetent, dunce, and a despot.

Mumu....Civilized country and Nigeria in the same sentence?

Do you have experience writing about consumer electronics especially smartwatches? I have a client that would be interested in you writing for them fulltime.

"...Newcastle can confirm that Steve Bruce has left his position as head coach by mutual consent.

The club would like to place on record its gratitude to Steve for his contribution and wishes him well for the future."



Same old tired line in nearly every sack letter!!!

Well, Newcastle has begun its revolution to the top... Let's see who they land for the position!!!

If they sign anyone other than Zidane, Conte, Sarri, Gattuso, or Shevchenko, then they are not serious...

Who gets sacked next before Christmas??!

OLE OLE OLE OLE.......OLE......OLE......Don't mind me I'm just being remembering one "Soldier"
