Eko-ile will make a better president than GEJ. It's a no brainer.

LOL

is fashola = eko ile

[quote author=D-pharisee link=topic=783563.msg9359479#msg9359479 date=1318867522]Has Fashola shown the will to be a Mugabe, Ghadafi or Nyerere and not a rubber stamp for the West at UN security council that GEJ has become who doesnt even have the will to abstain from voting western frivolities like the BRICS.
Can Fashola go against the wishes of America, France and Britain on the international stage like Chavez of Venezuela or Lula Da Silva of Brazil.
Can Fashola say to Shell and Chevron 'go clean up your mess in Niger Delta' and review their contracts in Nigeria?
Can Fashola tell the Emirs in the North 'kai mallam every child must be in school and ban Almajirism and royal servitude'
Can Fashola say to the South East 'we must bring back the glory of Aba and work towards its rapid  reindustrialization?
Its about asking questions about the international stage which is entirely different.[/quote]Has he been put in those situations ?

Was GEJ put into those situations before he became the president ?

Moreover, Multi-nationals come to lagos all the time even Cameron went to Lagos and meet with Fashola the other day

Please tell us what PROJECTIONS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS IS?

Gbawe:
Alhaji, good job but you are wasting your time. Nigerians just love showing to the world that we don't do things logically in our Country. Instead we prefer to view everything with sentiments and one bias (ethnicity) or the other( religion). This is what landed us with GEJ when two austere, prudent and brave men (exactly what Nigeria needed) ran in the same election.

Go to some African Countries today and you will marvel at the sophistication of their political election discussions. Issues will be about the performance, history of competence, achievements, ideological leanings of candidates and other solid parameters that shows who is likely to run Nations well!!!! The proof that this political sophistication , seen elsewhere, is bearing fruit can be seen in the laudable progress other African nations are beginning to make while Nigeria stagnates badly!!!  

In a topic like it is amazing anyone , with a straight face, can make make a case for GEJ. That , if any is required, is the ultimate proof we are far from gaining genuinely transformational leaders.

true talk my brother

cristog120:
when i see people write this way i get pissed off.show off your intelligence here let people learn from you if you know better afterall all nigerian dont look similar. we can never ve the same line of thought.

u dey mind am, just ignore

using gullible

Lies propaganda

Very clever

kaboninc:
For me, for the fact that Fashola is performing now dosent mean that he can do well or not at the Federal level. One thing we must realise is that the job of a president is very complex and no matter how clean and well-intended the occupier maybe, it's still hard to have faith in them. Fashola manages a state with less bureacracy unlike that Jonathan does. Well, you never know untill he's in.

And if you talk about godfathers in PDP, I also believe that there are godfathers too in ACN. Sentiments aside.

Rubbish post really

Yes Lagos is 1 out of 36 states but it is a very good projection of what he can do in all 36 states. Do you know what projections and statistical analysis is ?. You create a small model and see if it works before going large. Gooooshhhhh!!!!!

Being a gov. is a very good projection.

[quote author=South.East link=topic=783563.msg9359175#msg9359175 date=1318865512]Na yam? Lagos state is just 1/36 of Nigeria. It is an unpredictable projection how anyone will fare, moving from being a state Gov to being a president. He has people from other groups to contend with and he has not got the experience to handle cries of marginalization from disparate groups. So this post is a no-brainer.[/quote]Yes Lagos is 1 out of 36 states but it is a very good projection of what he can do in all 36 states. Do you know what projection and statistical analysis is ?

What other groups are you talking about ?

the post makes a lot of sense.

[quote author=South.East link=topic=783563.msg9359175#msg9359175 date=1318865512]He may have built one or two physical structures, but what manner of democratic civil society has he helped create when he is known to support imposition of candidates on the voting population. Fashola is a non-starter for the post of a president.[/quote]How has fashola impose candidates on people. Are you aware of ACN lost in Ikorodu ?

All u just posted there lack objectivity, evidence and shows how close minded you can be .

[quote author=South.East link=topic=783563.msg9359175#msg9359175 date=1318865512]Besides, the SW is taking a back seat from Aso Rock for a long time[/quote]What do you mean. Are we voting based on performance or based on zones and ethnic groups ?

Yet a tribal party won, anambra, akwa ibom, benue, edo and has a strong position in NE and NC

you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Moreover this has nothing to do with ACN but Fashola

[quote author=South.East link=topic=783563.msg9359175#msg9359175 date=1318865512]Besides, Fashola deported fellow Nigerians from Lagos- that is against the constitution of the country- for which he is in the same mold with Theodore Orji[/quote]Nope Lagos deported almajiries

while Orji deported productive people

so what are you talking about here NO  comparison HERE

completely different reasons and scenarios

By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief

Dangote Cement capitalisation has hit a whopping $15 billion and the company would single-handedly surpass Nigeria’s entire cement need which stands at about 17 million metric tons annually, before the end of next year.

Dangote Group’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Mr. Pabby Paramjit disclosed this at the inauguration of Dangote Academy’s Graduate Engineer Trainees Scheme, GETS, at the Obajana Cement plant, Kogi State, at the weekend.

He put Dangote’s current cement output at about 12 million metric tons per annum and that a new cement plant at Ibere, Ogun State would soon come on stream with another six million metric tons, annually. The third phase of the Obajana Cement Plant, he disclosed, would soon be commissioned and therefore boost output of the commodity.

He said that the vision of the President of the Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote was to grow the cement segment of the business empire into an international organisation that would export cement from Nigeria to the West African sub-regional market within the next four years.

According to him, cement accounted for 80 per cent of Dangote Group’s business, while non-cement segment such as the flour mills, water, juice, pasta and bag account for the remaining 20 per cent. Mr. Paramjit said Alhaji Dangote decided to establish the Dangote Academy in recognition of the important roles personnel play in building great companies around the world.


Alhaji Aliko Dangote
“Money, machinery and men are the most important factors in the business. People are the most important of these factors because people make the money and machinery work,” he said. The human resource chief said Dangote Academy was established for further skill development among young engineering graduates who would be trained for the period of one year and then given the opportunity for a career in the Dangote Group.

The 30 young engineers, he said, were selected from among the best in their schools and the National Youth Service Corps camps and would receive intensive practical training in the Group’s various plants across the country. The 30 young graduates would undergo training covering basic technology, plant operation, ICT, and supervisory skills to enable them become effective line managers at the end of the course.

Mr. Paramjit disclosed that the scheme was designed to continue to attract young and brilliant graduates to the Dangote Group; develop the future leaders of the company for effective succession plan; and build the business vision, values and ethics into character and behaviour of its future leaders.

The future plan for the programme, he said, would be to bring all training and development efforts of the Group under the Dangote Academy, for which a large campus with training rooms, workshops, library and internet facilities, is being constructed in the cement town of Obajana.

In his remarks, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Obajana Cement plant, Mr. Jagat Rathee, said that by 2015, Dangote Cement would hit a production target of 50 million metric tons per annum out of which 20 million metric tons would be sold in Nigeria and the rest would be exported to other countries.

He said negotiations had commenced for the establishment of Integrated Cement plants by the Group in Cameroun, Congo, Senegal and would capture several other African countries in the years ahead.

This abia thing is been over exaggeration. So he sacked non-indigenes who cares. Yes he is wrong but heck it is his state and the sacked people were working under his jurisdiction and not FG

Abeg free Orji biko

odumchi:
This is really a smart post. Whenever some intellectual progress is being made in any matter regarding the East, or Midwestern people, Lagos is brought up and the whole topic changes. Honestly, it is really boring to have to revert to this Lagos matter all the time. Lagos is nothing more than a commercial center where people go and sell goods/do business/take advantage of the large consumer population and then go back to their home towns nothing more, nothing less.

Oh pls shut it

stop adding  mid west to ur discussion because this has nothing to do with mid-west

that is how another silly person keep talking of SS, SE , NC block vote. rubbish

Beaf:
I have noticed a trend on NL as a non-Igbo.

[list]
[li]Igbo man opens a sob thread[/li]
[li]Eko Ile and his crew pop in and start crying foolishly about Lagos[/li]
[li]Their supporters join in the "Lagos issue" and it becomes a free for all[/li]
[/list]

Can we just stop stirring up these ethnic issues?

Maybe you need to go back to page 1

lagos issue was brought up by the igbos and not eko ile

what do they mean by "That is why we dominate the yorubas in lagos"

so you were not observant at all

Beaf:
The term, core-North has nothing to do with Islam, otherwise Kwara would be classified as core-North. Your definition fails.
The core-North refers to states that are predominantly Hausa-Fulani or are strongly allied to the Hausa-Fulani.

Very very misleading and wrong

1.) There is nothing like CORE NORTH, it is either the south or the north

Now in the north we have 3 geopolitical zones partially based on ethnicity which are

the North west mainly the hausa and fulanis

The North East mainly the Kanuris with Jukun, hausawa and Fulani

The North central or middle belt which are mainly the Nupe, idoma, Yoruba and fulani with other minorities

Relax101:
You see what a so-called educated northern is spewing from his dirty stuppoid gworo mouth.
If an eddioott like this guy says something like this, what do you expect their governors, emirs and their Imams to do.
You see this fool enjoying the benefits of education but doesn't want other northerners to benefit.

You are a real dunce.

Instead of posting the problem, why not post the solution. MUMU

grow up and comprehend the post before replying

The north is getting educated but I do not want us to make the same mistake as the south were everything is all about education and making fast money !!!!

Chikena !!

udezue:
People like AljHarem are the reasons why I want that nation to break apart so the progressives can move forward. If u want no education, fine but do it in your own nation not with us.

Who told you I do not want education. It is happening WAKE UP !!!

The north is getting educated daily but as I said I would prefer it our way not the southerners way

@ Depilot

I don't think an educated north would be a treat to anyone but I must point out that it would cause more division in the north.

What unites the North right now is Islam. Educating the north would make more kafars aka unbelievers that would be doing Oyinbo things and this would cause more more harm than good.

I know what I am talking about, The north is at the advantage the way it is right now. Easy to join the military etc.

What we can do to be more advantageous is to make more of those almajiri join the military while the few educated one go into the politics, banking and the OIL sector.

Also they should always provide free amenities for the northern citizens eg water, electricity etc.

Education Might have a profound effect on us. I would strongly advice us not to play like we are smart but play with humility and gradually, we would see the light Insha Allah.

Note :- these are just solutions to the education and almajiri problems we have

Amujale:
Nice images, great work, well apreciated

Could you do me a favour and replace the image depiction that you connect to this divinity with an African model?

The picture reflects the UNTRUE notion that Esu is synomynous to Satan. I can assure you that this NOT the case.

Thank-You in advance

would do just that

How can your love wore out?
Shay you people were disturbing the peace on NL with your Arochukwu-Ekiti Hybrid pikins?
But you really loved EzeUche so much that it made boys from your ethnic group on NL to become so jealous of una online love/romance. lol

ezeuche is a warrior and not a lover. the dude is too tribal and aggressive

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=782669.msg9354811#msg9354811 date=1318816861]Less that 20% of the population of Yorubas, of course.[/quote]Ileke idi, You need to come to lagos or go to calabar or port harcourt

Yoruba people ie men and women marry from different ethnic groups

Majority of Lagosians including me have Igbo blood in us and Majority if not 95% have one wife without any hassle from families.

Do not let this clueless NLers deceive you with their bigoted sense.

adamaw2tuf:
Why is it always too difficult for these bunch of yurobas denials to admit the simple truth, which is that the yuroba men will lie to a woman to get hold of her only to break her heart by marrying 3 more wives or having children with women from their tribe before ten years into the marriage?Lets be honest here and save the nigerian women from this wickedness.I accept here in the north many of the northerners are known for more wives which i dont support either,but those who practice it here dont go around deceiving women with love tricks only to betray them later in life by introducing one mama iyabo and mama yinka from ogun state and say "they are my pikins mothers.SO HERE IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE CONCERN ABOUT THEIR FRIENDS OR SISTERS MARRYING YUROBAS,GUYS YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE WHY NOT ADMIT IT PLEASEEE.

You are not a northerner, Probably another Igbo man that loves the fulani's man Joystick

speak your language fulbe or jukun or manga I want to read . Olodo

Women suffer more in marriage, irrespectable of tribe.

If those Yoruba folks are deeply ethnocentric, they wont rest until they find him a Yoruba or Non-Igbo wife for their son. [/quote]Keep dreaming

how many yoruba men have you seen with more than 1 wife even if his wife is Igbo

Amaechi5:
@op 1st of all "IGBO" is not Ibo & that made u not a be a true igbo origin,then about your situation now didn't u guys know that this will be the outcome when u guys started the relationship at first.The boy's parents don't even want u which is worst 4 u,what if u guys get married & at the end it turns out to be another thing altogether,what if the guy at the end maybe that time u must have had 4kids then choose to get this time a yoruba woman to have more kids with,who will u run to for help is it the guys parents that doesn't want you or your parents that u got married at of their wish.In marriage if the man's parents or relative doesn't want or like the woman whom their son brought to them,the woman suffers the most & the worst part a woman from another tribe.Marriage many a time isn't sweet like during courtship,if especially the boy's parents or family or relative doesn't want u STEP OUT and bear in mind that dis guy will still get a yoruba woman to have babies with at the end

Maybe you need to tell that to

desmond elliot

or me

if a man loves someone, why would he go to marry a yoruba woman later all in the name of " my ethnic group"

Come'on grow up !

Torch1:
am only here to share a link to my Igbo folks. Am not here for tribal issues becos that is what u guys really enjoy in this Nairaland. Every threads is full of tribalism and you are preaching one Nigeria,  Hypocrite!

Look at this silly person

in ur useless post, how does Yoruba and ofe mannu got to do with sharing igbo culture eh

Yes if I preach one Nigeria and mumu like you come here and type rubbish in ur native language then shame on u as well

Andre Uweh:
Am happy you know where I stand and where we stand. Ndigbo for Ndigbo.

Thanks Jason.[size=15pt] This guy scares me a lot[/size]. I said the lady ran out on me and now he's heaping insults on himself (not me). Oh, I see. He didn't understand that use of english. Na wa o. What kinda dude is this guy?

LOL LOL

andre oooo

Andre Uweh:
No they should not marry. Their parents have said no, they know better. People should not advice them to go ahead.

you still are not making sense here

WHY SHOULD THEY NOT MARRY JUST BECAUSE ONE IS YORUBA AND THE OTHER IS IGBO ?

You are talking like a stack Illiterate from the village and you live in the UK.

Andre Uweh:
You are an evil man. That is why I advice Igbo girls to shut the door for people like you. You have messed up her life and abandoned her. You are now married and she is not. When I preach that Igbo should stick with Ndigbo, some tend to crucify me while am right. She is not married yet because you have messed up her life. Which Igbo man will go into that woman that you have jumped in and out. One day she will end up marrying a non Igbo because Ndigbo do not go for rejects.
Anyway, for that Igbo to date you in the first instance may be that she is a wowo girl. Instead of a being a lone ranger, she chose you instead. Believe me, you were just her last option.

come'on stop being silly

did you even read his post at all

"There was the usual parents wahala and understanding was to be reached and the differences settled. However disaster struck. The lady listened to people like Andre Uweh and she ran out on me just when the challenge was almost over.

Devastated of course, but life went on. Five years down the line, and she's still single. According to her, she'd only been meeting several unserious suitors from her tribe, so she'd occassionally relived our times together. Of course, I'm married with kids, so that's outta the question. What I am trying to say is that it's both ways, and not strictly a girl problem as Andre Uweh would want you believe."
