Because he and the geopolitical interests he represents don't want it. Can you do something that you don't want when no one is forcing you to do it? The same reason clueless Jonathan can't do it- the Fulani/northern geopolitical block won't let him do it.
ajayiopy: THIS IS MY 14TH YEAR IN THE NORTHERN NIGERIA AND I CAN SAY THAT AN AVERAGE HAUSA MAN OR FULANI MAN IS POLITICALLY INCLINED. THEY ARE INFORMED POLITICALLY,THEY PUT THIER INTEREST FORWARD AND STAND BY IT FOR LIFE. MAJORITY OF NORTHERN STATE BENEFITED FROM GOODLUCK ADMINISTRATION AND THAT I CAN SAY BOLDLY. GOODLUCK WILL NOT HAVE ISSUE TO BE ADOPTED.
Why are you SCREAMING with your all caps comment? Why was he not adopted in 2015, mister 14th year in northern whatever?
seunmsg: Clowns keep moving from Amaechi to Jonathan and back to Amaechi. They don’t even know where to stand. Their confusion is so pathetic and sympathetic at the same time
Clowns in the presidency and confusion in Aso Rock? Sorry for your loss o. Let Thiefnuibu keep spending the looted money of Lagosians, Abiola's end will be a child's play to his.
Initial gragra to make the people go to sleep and leave him to loot them like crazy? If the people like they should not monitor him closely through their state legislators on how he uses their commonwealth to employ workers for the various activities of government like
- clearing refuse & gutters - all feeder roads tarred and maintained - water in every building - all children in government schools with adequate teachers
That is what the Divider-in-Chief Bubu of Aso Rock has turned this country into.
Despirado121: Major-General Biu has appealed to terrorists and other relevant stakeholders to work for lasting peace in the country.
The General Officer Commanding, 7 Division of the Nigerian Army Maiduguri, Major General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu, has appealed to Boko Haram terrorists to surrender their arms so that peace can return to the northeast region, Igbere TV reports.
The Islamic sect has terrorised the region since its insurgency escalated in 2019, with thousands of deaths recorded in countless attacks on civilians and members of the Armed Forces.
However, while addressing journalists last weekend, Biu said the northeast region cannot experience progress if it is not peaceful.
He made an appeal to Boko Haram terrorists to repent and rejoin the society for the sake of peace, noting that they can aspire to any political position as a result, even the presidency.
He said, "Boko Haram should lay their arms unconditionally and be accepted in the community. Opportunities are out there for them, they can be rehabilitated.
"An ex Boko Haram having laid his arms and turned away from his negativity, stands to be a president of this country. He stands to aspire to any position in this country.
Hammyaladin: pick up your laptop and work hard to make ends meet. Is so sad to say this but votes don't actually count anymore.
Yeah right. Votes don't count that is why dumb politicians sweat to impress the public. Bubu's lazy youths finding lame excuses to not be involved in politics so they can forever blame everything & everyone but themselves
gadgetplanetng: Good. because there is no logical correlation between what I posted & your response. Follow your advice and read what I wrote slowly to comprehend.
You said that CNN won't see this, not so? The logical thing is that you should work your own capacity to create a globally relevant alternative to CNN. Got it now
bakar007: Evil Ukrainians something the Western media will never show you ,rather they show you videos of Caught Russian soldiers saying bad things about Russian . In a life or death situation ,wetin them go do , if they fail to do what the Ukranians told them they re killed. Forgetting Russian has of lot of Ukranians soldiers and prisoners , same and worse coming for them too.
Since the Western media won't show it, are they also stopping the African/Nigerian media from showing it? Why are we such pathetic entitled wailers, instead of getting to work to stop being inconsequential on global matters
Don't mind us African hypocrites who do jungle justice to petty thieves for chicken, phones etc but leave out the public office holders and private sector thieves who steal our present and future.
matrixme: All these stup.id people on Nairaland forming woke and saying Nigerians have a bad habit not repaying loans and all, in saner climes, so they give 7 or 14 days loan and expect as much as 50% increase? Even the student loan you people are talking about, isn't it paid back when you start working? Meanwhile every Nigerian citizen is owing close to 150,000 including you, the woke ones. So be honest enough to go and pay your loan and remove the log in your eyes first before you come to discuss the twig in the eyes of your neighbors. If they come to you for help, you no go give shishi. Hypocrites oshi.
In saner climes there are loan sharks, not so? If you are not the hypocrite oshi, why don't you just pay for the guy and other defaulters instead of wailing a bucket here?
HardMirror: smh. How long as he defaulted. The law is very clear... and these loan companies are not abiding by the law. Defaulting for a few days should never warrant what they did and it is illegal. I get time dey argue with u sef. The loan companies will soon suffer a class action suit. Keep supporting nonsense
Are you a joker or just kidding. How much of your own money have you ever put into a class action lawsuit? Can you please share the law that is very clear on this matter
It still baffles me how una use una koro koro eyes read terms and condition of a company, agreed to it then defaults on it and think there won't be consequences.
Smh
I no dey do pass my self. I take what I am certain I can payback on time.
Know your limit no be cure, nor is it an abuse. Na advice. Thanks boss
Thugnificent: I woke up yesterday morning only to receive whatsapp messages and phone calls from family and friends on my contact list that they received a message of me being a criminal and "loan prostitute" on the run with company funds because of few days overdue loan. I thought the Government claimed to have clamped down on this people. My Girl friend that normally calls me every minute hasn't called since yesterday. I'm guessing she has also received the message. I'm Soo embarrassed
You are not embarrassed. If/when you are embarrassed, you will pay up as you agreed with the loan company. EOD!
The Assembly of Past Crooks, APC you mean, with Pope Oshiomole forgiving any cross-over criminal of his sins
sharpden: The All Progressive Congress (APC) has said once those who looted the nation’s treasury join its fold, all their sins will be forgiven.
The national chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole, stated this on Thursday at the presidential campaign rally held in Benin, the Edo State capital.
Mr Oshiomhole made the comments while receiving decampees from the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
“I’m told that there are a lot of senior people from PDP who have decided to join forces with President Buhari to take the broom to sweep away PDP to continue to ensure that APC continues to preside over Nigeria,” he was quoted by TheCable to have said.
“It includes my own brother and friend Henry Duke, he is the former organising secretary of PDP. We also have former vice chairman PDP and leader of PDP Edo North, in fact, once you join APC, all your sins are forgiven,” the top APC official said.
Oshiomhole urged Nigerians to return President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term in office.
brainycaleb: He did it because of the fulfilled promise of Gowon making him the finance minister and for other political reasons which were in his interest! He was the originator of true large scale corruption in Nigeria. He never had the interest of the Yorubas at heart and was swayed into selling The Yorụ̀bá Nation to the North despite being helped out of prison by Odumegwu Ojukwu where he has been for two years for corrupt practices.
Can you please provide reference for the bold part above? Thanks.
That has scored high in debts, unemployment, inflation, insecurity and poverty. Is this what Thiefnuibu wants to continue as extra level SWAGA (south west agenda)
Especially the ones who pretend to be saints, like Osinbajo and his boss in Lagos who has been stealing instead of providing tap water in every building and free primary & secondary schools for all children. How do we consistently allow these deceitful rogues be in charge of our commonwealth? How
Fahdiga: Osinbajo is a short deceitful imp and a fake pastor who tells lies for a living
Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you. It is the work of the Holy Spirit dwelling in you sir.
gabydaniels: The vice president who spoke in Kano yesterday during the third day of the 15th Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development meeting, urged Nigerians to restore confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, insisting that soonest, the current economic problems would become a thing of the past.
“With the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector, there has been a significant increase in the availability of petrol throughout the country for the savings of N1.4 trillion on subsidy payments alone,” he said.
InvertedHammer: / That same argument would be made if Obasanjo (fresh from prison) wasn't made President in 1999. The same way people felt about Abiola. If anything, the euphoria that followed the election of folks like Rochas as Imo State governor and Buhari as the President of Nigeria should be enough to tell us that we can only fantasize about what could have been. But fantasy and reality run parallel. /
They run parallel if the people are not interested and working their own part of the equation.
Awo said that Nigeria is a mere geographical expression. Meaning he knew that we will never be united as a nation. He wanted secession written in our constitution. Zik, born in Zungeru/Niger State and was with Herbert Macaulay in politics in Lagos saw himself as a true Nigeria and opposed secession. Zik won when the British favoured Ziks argument. Thereafter Awo mainly championed Yoruba interest just like Ahmadu Bello championed Hausa-Fulani interest in the North.
Having tasted Hausa-Fulani wrath/imprisonment following Witie crisis, Awo had to play it cool knowing that the North now held 9ja by the balls and will not let go. His best achievement remained his time as Western Premier, especially in education/infrastructure. Awo was never a nationalist. He was too much of a realist and pragmatist for that. He understood 9ja too much. He knew that North and South were worlds apart. Only good old Zik the dreamer was a true nationalist/pan-Africanist. Bless him.
In all, Awo actually lost out just like Zik. Brilliant people who never got to lead 9ja. Their loss remain our eternal loss as a nation though. At least both lived until the end of their natural life. Bello died violently 20 years before Awo and almost 30 years before Zik. But Bello left behind Dan Fodio political philosophy that still drives Northern hegemony till today.
Awo alone, however good as president or prime minister, could not have changed anything if those who followed behind would not sustain his good deeds. Unless he was in power for around 25 years and remained good. 9ja people too stubborn. We sha nor serious.
What made Awolowo join Gowon for the civil war instead of secession like Biafra
Abdul05: if this man chief awo had successfully taken the reins of power in the 60s..
I don't think dis country will look like this.. messed up in a big way...
By now...we should be comparing ourself with the western contrees ..
But ..greed and corruption are being rife and Nepotism is still the order of the day ..
Are you working on making people like Awolowo public office holders in your local and state governments at the legislative and executive arms? What kind of works are you doing to make it happen
Ayesolve: Chief Obafemi Awolowo's private car. The car toured the whole states of Nigeria in the year 1979 and 1983 during the presidential election campaigns.
MALIGNANTGuest: @Isaiah4Life, I don't think anyone has ridiculed Nigeria on this page so far. People just stated the reality. We have to improve on environmental sanitation. IF you relocate abroad, you may feel more terrible than some of us feel here. AFRICA is truly blessed. You wouldn't understand. Have you witnessed an earthquake before? I have witnessed it more than 20 times. In fact, we receive alerts on our phones when it's about happening. So, Africa is blessed. All we need is Organization & to do away with too many unnecessary issues impeding advancement. We empower Agberos too much in Nigeria. In Fact I have seen university graduates who resorted to Agbero wey of life to export money from business owners & motorists.
Sound minds should start occupying strategic positions in Nigeria. Enough of all these Agbero.
How will sound minds occupy strategic positions at the local government level and the legislatures that are concerned with this, when we are busy flexing on nothingness, instead of putting money, time & talent to the political, governance and electoral systems? How will it happen
peterdrock001: Its really nice to see that inspite of the low cost nature of the market, cleanliness is still taken seriously. Lessons for us here in Nigeria
Is that work for the local government chairmen/councilors, or for the president
MALIGNANTGuest: 4me, NIGERIA was far better during the military era. The orderliness was top notch. Any group (insurgency) or Agbero wey want surface begin collect money were completely crushed. Na wetin fit us. Dem need shove discipline down our throats.
Please who is shoving discipline down your throat in America? Is it the exhaustive court process driven by the people's greater interest in their communities
