The Igbos votes competence and capacity over ethnicity any day any time.

Peter Obi was obviously the best candidate in that election

How come you guys can’t replicate voting competency in your 5 Eastern states since 1900

yemmit90:


You can't accuse any region in Nigeria in regards to tribalism. Every region tend to vote for their sons in any presidential election.

Ibo has no candidate in major parties before Obi, so you can't really say if you are triblaist or not. Besides, in 2003, PDP massively rigged all states, and Ojukwu that supposed to be a face of Igbo are very weak candidate and was rigged out as well.

In my own understanding of politics, SW is the only region that has a swing voters in Nigeria. But I must really commend SE for their loyalty to PDP since 1999, it was so unfortunate that the key players from the region were not that smart politically like SW to have used that to their advantage.

Let stop being tribalist, Nigeria need each region to function separately in their own ways.

Respect sir.

kachistone:



How is Awolowo better than Azikiwe? Both of them were cerebral and Nigeria would have been better if any of them were the Executive President instead of Shagari in 1979.

So the S/E voting for him wasn't a case of tribalism but a support for competence.

Besides, you said Ojukwu was a weakling in politics because he lost a senatorial election? He lost because his party NPN wasn't grounded in the East like the NPP.

Besides, Ojukwu said his intention was to align the South East with the NPN which was the ruling party. Don't forget that was the party that made Shagari and Ekwueme President and VP respectively.

Ojukwu wasn't a neophyte in Eastern politics. He and Azikiwe never agreed politically even though they were brothers.

Many things sup for that 1979 elections my chief.

Sire, I respect your submission. No insult just straight opinion.

God bless you

I hope we won’t hear or see any Mmesoma Ejike this year

Hmmm true. FG needs to do something real quick to Help Air Peace

seunmsg:



Government can’t keep subsidizing everything. Air Peace is a private business and they must find a way to survive competition. Arik was flying straight to London Heathrow before they were out-priced by foreign airlines.


The only way Air Peace can survive the price war is to appeal to the sentiments of Nigerians. They must make all Nigerians see Air peace as a national brand that is serving the interest of all Nigerians and whose survival depends on the patronage of Nigerians against harsh foreign competitors.

Sadly, they mismanaged the fallout of their maiden flight by allowing Obidients ethnicize the narrative. The Igbo pushback and the massive insults against Yoruba people because some very few people on twitter suggested that the dressing of the hostess should reflect a united Nigeria identity as against an ethnic group was unnecessary. President Tinubu and Keyamo were not spared in the insult. Now, how will they change the narrative?

If Nigeria Must Progress, Nigerians Must Stop Paying Tithes and Start Paying Taxes

Nigerians prefer paying tithes to their churches and then demanding for roads and proper infrastructure from their government to whom they hardly pay taxes. Am I lying?

No matter how corrupt and inept you think the Nigerian government is, they are far more open and transparent about what they do with the little taxes you pay than ANY church in Nigeria. Do you see that guy who probed Emefiele? Jim Obazee. If President Tinubu should ask him to probe Nigerian mega-churches, some GOs would be in jail. Nigerian churches are some of the least regulated entities on planet Earth.

Okay, which church in Nigeria has given you, as a member, a breakdown of what they do with your tithes? Yet, you see their General Overseers and Senior Pastors living extravagant lives, even where there is extreme poverty in their congregations. They build schools, often with members tithes, that the children of those members cannot attend.

In contrast, the Nigerian government publishes an annual budget of what they will do with your tax Naira. A budget that can and is often scrutinised and criticised by the public and media, because it is a public document. And when they spend the appropriated monies, the Freedom of Information Act allows you to get information on who was paid what, when and how.

That is how the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation was exposed. But can you dare ask your pastors what they do with your tithes?

Nigeria will never reach its full potential if Nigerians don't pay taxes. It works both ways. Taxes give the government more funds, and make the citizens more vigilant over how their government spends their money.

According to the World Bank, taxes account for 39% of the GDP of Germany, 46.3% in Denmark, 45.4% in France, 42.9% in Sweden and Belgium, 34.1% in Japan, and 23.7% in South Africa. But in Nigeria, it is an abysmally low rate of less than 10%.

Despite the above, no citizen of any country is as entitled as a Nigerian. Our government earns about $30 billion a year from oil and gas to a population of 220 million people. And on that basis, we want cheap fuel, electricity, and high minimum wages, as well as free education and pipe-borne water.

Yet, according to Statistica, Nigeria has a higher rate of paying tithes than the above listed countries. Why are we not individually and collectively prospering more than those countries?

The statistics are clear: countries with high tax payments and low tithe payments prosper individually and collectively more than nations with low tax payment and high tithe payment.

Yeshua said "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”

Money belongs to Caesar (government). Pay your taxes. Tithes in Scripture were ONLY agricultural. They were NEVER monetary. And they were only requested by God from Jews and paid ONLY to Levites-Numbers 18:24.

And tithes were agricultural only. The reason for this was that the Levites were not allowed to farm. The modern payment of tithes in Christendom (as opposed to Christianity) cannot be supported by ANY Scripture.

These preachers will use a verse from Malachi 3:10, which states:

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house."

However, note that a storehouse refers to a barn, where ONLY food and other agricultural produce were kept. The Jews were never asked to bring money.

Additionally, there are multiple other laws in Malachi and the laws of Mosaic, which include laws allowing polygamy. If they take that law from Malachi, why do they not observe the other 612 or so other laws? Because it is all about the Benjamins, baby!

I get what you’re saying

Air Peace would have negotiated for a balance in prices


So everybody can thrive

But what of a situation where they want to be very high


What will air peace do?

I think you get what’s trying to say but his past history here is haunting him

I don't even think it's all about tribal issue


When Adenuga crashed the prices of GSM Sim card in 2004/2005
To 2000 Naira

Nigerians benefitted

MTN and Econet were selling likes as high as 35000 then

But Adenuga crashed it


Building a good business is the key here
If a business is built well who really cares about tribe?


When Nigerian business persons begin to build global brands
Who will really care about tribe?

It's because we haven't evolved as a people
Thats why we still think tribe

Even some of our neighboring African countries don't even think tribe


But Nigeria tribalises everything
Which will continue drawing this country backwards

Started from our founding fathers

Presently our elites are at the fore front of this issue
Continuing on this part

Nigeria may never really develop
Because these things will continue drawing the Nations progress backwards

We need to revolve as quickly as possible if we want to move forward
