Politics / Re: Nnamdi Kanu Arrested, Extradited To Nigeria, Arrived Nigeria On Sunday by Babanah: 2:48pm On Jun 29, 2021
Gbagura:
Thought some ipob terrorists were foaming in their mouths that he's a UK citizen who can't be arrested. Igbo and gullibility are 5 & 6.

He has dual citizenship. The UK law allows the government to revoke British citizenship from dual nationals since they have another nationality to fall back on.
However under international law you cannot make an individual stateless.

Politics / Re: Akeredolu: I Didn't Call Dor The Scrapping Of The Senate by Babanah: 9:56pm On Jun 03, 2021
Kriss216:
So, what's wrong in scrapping the Senate?

Of what use are those Fulani slaves to Nigerians with their useless sittings?

The senate / upper chamber is necessary in any federation to guarantee equity among the federating units. Without that only a few states with large populations will control a unicameral chamber.

This is why the constitution requires key federal appointments to be confirmed by the senate only.

Kano state has three senators just as balyesa despite differences in population.

Interesting stuff but off point and incoherent

I do not think Femi Otedola is an Omo onile with a sense of entitlement

The whole humanity is related one way or another some even believe we all have one ancestor so what?
So what if most successful countries are built by foreigners? A claim that is very debatable anyway
Does that mean all countries must be?
How is that relevant
When these foreigners were building America as you claim did they arrive with passports or Visas
Now they are talking of building walls to "KEEP OUT ALIENS" >>>>> Yes that is the word "ALIEN"
We are discussing a constitution. Do not lose sight of that What is important is who should have a say in the constitution. That must be negotiated not imposed by outsiders

I think I have made my point as every other Nigerian is entitled to.
I cannot impose my views on anyone as I’m not in the army and do not intend to plot a coup.
The thinking of individuals have a lot to do with the collective psyche of a society.

I grew up at a time when the sky was the limit for Nigeria. I have been around the world and cannot think of any country that is packed full with intelligent and energetic people.

All I want is for Nigeria to take it’s rightful place in the comity of nations so that the Black race could finally be respected.
By the way I’m half lagosian island.

I rest my case.

First this whole thing comes from a constitutional review

Even reclaiming land from the ocean makes assumptions about WHO has the rights to do that..
What are the rights e.g of the Oba of Lagos and other institutions in the area

Lagos became a colony by Treaty with the British in the 1860s

The point is Lagos should not be taken for granted whether by Nigeria or any so called Yoruba nation.
It has indigenes with their own culture and religion with a lot of reverence for water deities.
Many Nigerians especially christians and Muslims always bully others and don't even see that.
Claiming land from the sea is not something that should be decided by Ekiti, Osun or Ibadan people

The problem is some elitist folk have a vision for Lagos and I ask them who the hell are you to decide what should happen in Lagos.

Most prosperous and successful countries have were built by foreigners. The US, United Kingdom, Singapore and some Middle East countries.

The British finally chose Lagos as the capital of Nigeria because of what they saw in Lagosians.
Educated ,enlightened, urbane and accommodating group of people.
Comprising of the Bini, Awori, Brazilian West Indian Serria Leone returnees. Lagos has over the years accommodated people from far and near and I think that was why the British moved the capital to Lagos. (And by the way Nigeria had not made any progress since the capital was moved to Abuja but that’s by the way).
But I’m shocked by the present crop of ‘Lagosians’ who appear to be uneducated, omo onile, with all sense of entitlement and no sense of history.

I say to them could Lagos be where it is today without the contributions of non lagosians?

First it is a power not a right. It is not an unlimited power. This special status is being asked for as part of a constitution writing process.

Such a process to be honest cannot have any assumptions including assumptions deriving from the constitution that is being quarreled with like the Land Use Act.

Acquiring land for common good is a good phrase when you are not the victim.

Why does that same principle not apply to RUGA and settling Fulani herdsmen

Acquiring one plot of land for common good is different from ethnic cleansing entire ancestral villages ,towns or cities

What about the minority Group in Badagry are they expendable too? Just like Bakassi
What happens to them.
Why don't we evacuate the Ogoni so the oil can flow?

We are very good at citing "rules" when they suit us and when they don't we cry self-determination
My friend, we seem to be saying different things.
I am suggesting converting the present Eko Atlantic into a special economic territory like Hong Kong. If we want to expand we reclaim more land from the ocean.
It wouldn’t be fair to convert the whole of Lagos state into a special economic zone. Not only to the indigenes of Lagos but also the other states.

It depends on the terms. If they agree to it and receive compensation it is not a big deal.As long as there is a treaty or other legal backing.
We have seen so many instances of this in history even recently with Bakassi

Yes I agree with you ‘land owners’ will have to be compensated after which they have to relinquish rights to their property.

And the current indigenes will have no say in this project?

You just sit down with your laptop and decide what to do with their ancestral lands?

But other Nigerians will retain indigeneship elsewhere? Whilst those from Lagos become homeless?

How about starting off with ‘Eko Atlantic’ ? At least we won’t have much problems with ‘resetting’.

omonnakoda:

What about the indigenes ? Will they have a special status?

There will be no indigenes in this territory which will not be the whole of Lagos state.

When Abuja was conceived the original inhabitants were supposed to be resettled outside the FCT. But that didn’t happen hence we have ‘Abuja indigenes’ citizens of the Federal Government in Abuja and therefore superior to other Nigerians.
Politics / Re: Sanwo-Olu Restate Calls For Special Status For Lagos by Babanah: 10:37am On Jun 02, 2021
A special Economic Zone should be carved out of Lagos with a status such as Hong Kong.

It shall be self governing but under the sovereignty of Nigeria.

It will have its own financial regulator independent of the CBN.

Capital flows in and out of this region shall be unimpeded.

Relaxed immigration rules for foreigners from developed countries and African diaspora.

Transactions will be denominated in USD and all corporation taxes shall be remitted to the Federal Government of Nigeria to be shared by all tiers of government.

This territory shall be run as a private corporation and occupants will pay dues, taxes, fees and fines to the corporation for the upkeep of facilities within this territory.

If this can happen, it will unleash the tremendous energies from Nigeria and the diaspora without the ‘political mill stone’ hanging on her neck. As long as this territory remits money to the Federal government.

I think Malami made a good point. The Northerners have not banned consumers of alcohol from staying in the North because they are smart enough to know they don’t have the constitutional powers to do so. Instead they search for impound and destroy alcohol (beer).
The so called southerners are not as clever as they think. Intelligence is not the same thing as going to school.

To me the Genesis story is metaphor for Mankind to realize that reality as it sees it is self centered, selfish and detached. This is the greatest illusion of Man - separation from others God.
Going to the issue of genotypes and genes. This has to do with mutations in DNA as they replicate and also adaptation to our external environment through evolution.
So to summarize we are both undergoing internal and external evolution.

[quote author=Bossil post=100917925]

So what does insurance cover?[/quote

Insurance policies do not usually cover force majeure (Acts of God, insurrections, civil disobedience, etc).

The are two main issues around this coming up with the probability of such event happening and also the widespread nature of the event.

This makes it unprofitable for insurers.
Politics / Re: Gov. Obaseki Is Right, Emefiele Agrees To The Printing Of Money by Babanah: 7:58pm On Apr 16, 2021
It is rather disingenuous for the CBN governor to compare his action (money printing) with what obtains in the US and Europe (quantitative easing).

QE entails the Central Bank “creating money” and then buying assets eg corporate bonds with it. Thereby injecting liquidity into the system. The process could also be reversed at the appropriate time, what the Central Bank would do is SELL the assets and in the process mop up liquidity from the system.

Our dear CBN simply went ahead to print billions of naira to “support” the government.

His statement about securitizing the “loan/cash” handed to government was only an afterthought.

It’s not a surprise, as this CBN is well known for making up policy as they go.
