This election has proven that the problem with Nigeria is not mainly caused by bad leaders as people always say, but a massive lack of education as the root cause. Every educated person knows that Buhari lacks the knowledge and health fittness to rule a country. But amazingly he is getting a second term. This can only happen when the masses are not educated. Atiku was winning the polls on social media because those who participated in the polls were the more educated Nigerians. Even though Atiku is not the best choice but he is better than Buhari and had the best chance to remove Buhari than the other candidates.

Lack of education is the biggest issue in this country and this country will never go anywhere as long as it remains like that. If Buhari can be reelected then it means rouges like Tinubu and Ameachi can also win an election in Nigeria as long as the masses are this uneducated. I have lost hope in this country.

Who told you you are educated?

I've wanted to stay away from this Igbo-Yoruba issue again, but I've been seeing some narratives that keep making my blood boils.

And the recent one has to do with how Igbos are 'taking over our lands'. And this is where I lost it.

Look, if you are of the opinion that Igbos are taking over your lands, whatever that means, I want to categorically call you a fool, and I don't care if your feelings are hurt.

I mean what the actual Bleep?!

One, whose lands exactly are they taking over? The ones you inherited or what? The ones you left undeveloped or another one? The ones you sold them at inflated rate or which one? Abeg shift base!

Instead of complaining about their encroachment, why not develop some balls and go and take over their lands as well? Why not offer them ludicrous amount of money for a plot of land and see if they won't sell? Why not leave your families and kin behind and go to a land you know absolutely nobody and settle their? Why not leave your comfort zone that you are not developing and not progressing in and settle down somewhere and grow?

I keep defending my race that we are not cowards, but when I look at this critically, we really are. We have no mind and balls to settle anywhere else because obviously, everyone is dangerous. We can't live in the North or the East because everyone except us is dangerous. I don't want to insult those who have lost lives and properties in intertribal wars in both areas of the country, but we need to peel our eyes back and see properly.

We are just scared. Yes, scared. Myself inclusive.

Scared of being adventurous. Scared of being away from our people. Scared of losing and starting again. Scared of competition. Scared of everything that other major tribes ain't scared of.

Two years ago, I went to a part of my state that I've never been to before. I never even knew the place existed. Guess who had the only mini market in that village? Yeah damn right. An Igbo boy. Not a man. A boy. He sells everything they want. I was amazed. I spent close to 30 minutes interrogating him. He was barely 20years old. Yes, I was scared for him.

And that's how it is in the whole country. The Igbos remain the only tribe in the country that are never afraid of going to new places to establish. If they fail in a business, they start another one. I keep seeing them everyday in my town, trying selling something new every time. Trying to make it despite the obvious hostility around them. Most of us who are complaining about them would rather buy from them than the Yorubas.

They keep going to places to create new things, and all we do is beef them. The first major supermarket in Ado-Ekiti, Okoli, was from an Igbo man. The current trending one, NAO Supermarket, is owned by an Igbo. The entire bank road of Ado-Ekiti was bought by an Igbo man in the late 80s and 90s, and he has been selling to all the banks in that areas since then.

And what are we busy doing? Shitting in our pants shouting "They are taking over our lands". Hehehehehehehehe!!! Fada Lawd! Our entire computer villages are littered with them. They move out and own shit! We...? We just sit our asses down and complain about how the money they use in buying all these are blood and ritual money! Hehehehehehehehe!!! Really?! A Yoruba man calling an Igbo man a ritualist! Fada Lawd!

Even the Northerners are setting up Shasha markets all around us, and where the heck are we and what are we doing in their own states? Nothing.

Let's grow some balls. No one will 'eat' us in Igbo lands. I served in the interiors of Anambra, precisely in Akpo in Aguata Local Government, in a community school inside the bush there. I trek daily inside that Bush for a whole bloody year, and no one ate me or used me for money. They gave me foods, they offered their daughters to me in marriage. They wanted me to settle among them. I know those who cried when I was leaving. I know those of my colleagues that settled there. I know of many Yorubas that established there and are making it, dammit!

#Sigh. I've never been angry like this in a long while, and now I'm exhausted. ����. Let's treat each others like humans first. Let's remove this tribal labelling. Rwandan has done it and is moving forward. Even Nigerians feel more at home in South Africa, the xenophobic country, more than they would feel with other tribes in Nigeria.

And if we feel all these aren't possible, then let's fucking part ways and establish our own separate kingdoms. But like my mum said "Take away the Igbos and see your community become empty".

Enough said!

I stopped reading where you said why not going to their states to go and takeover/ buy off their lands too.
No wise person will leave Israel to go and takeover/buy off land in Egypt. It shows you are not thinking

Atiquiet

PDP journalists keep asking silly and unnecessary questions

It is obvious, INEC is being remotely controlled by PDP

Irresponsible man like Doyin okupe can't carry responsible news

Ibos always wanted people to fight for them and even install them as the president, once you don't help them, they resolve into insults. The lower they go, the higher we go, they don't need to be responded to

Atiku should be mocked instead. Atiku/Obasanjo sold Nigerian airways and shared the money. Buhari is only trying to bring it back.

Ibos are so easily carried away, where real money bags are in the country they are not at all close. Evans the kidnapper too will talk of having houses in cosy/choiced area in Lagos. Majorly, same illegal means of acquiring wealths most of them follow with a trading/business name to cover up

Why excluding bankers, government should do for all what they are capable of doing

Same way Atiku and Obasanjo sold Nigerian airways and shared the money. Nigerians all over up till today are feeling so ashamed of not having a national airways we can call our own again. It is better imagined than experienced, Atiku will forever plunge Nigeria into unrecoverable shame and poverty.

NairaMaster1:
You see your life. That order was given to contain Jos crisis that claimed hundreds of lives. It was in a Waring situation when Muslim mecinaries deified the security agents to kill Innocent Nigerians.

Unlike your Buhari that allows Herdsmen to kill with impunity, Obasanjo never allowed that.

Finally, during Obansanjo there was harvest of ballot snatching but he didn't order the security to kill any.

You're probably a poor student of history.

People snatching ballot boxes during Obasanjo were for PDP, you just heard the testimony of Offa robbery leader, how they used to snatch, dabaru and kill for Saraki/PDP to emerge victorious in elections.

GoodofNaija:
APC always looking for reason to follow bad precedents. What happens to laying good examples for others to follow

What is bad in shooting criminals that want to throw the country into avoidable crisis? I wonder why nearly every member and apologist of PDP reason like a passionate daft just because of selfish interests.

Salvador1:
Are you in Lagos or you have people in Lagos that want to vote in Anambra state on Saturday? There are free buses on Thursday and Friday.

Send your name and phone number by SMS or WhatsApp only, to 0708 389 0884.

You must show your PVC before boarding.

Vote for PDP for good governance.

Please circulate

PDP have started buying vote again, they won't see this as vote buying/voters inducements..., Free transportation, free feeding inside bus, money will be shared inside the bus ..

Ile awon oosa

PDP

PDP is heavily inducing INEC financially, whoever attempts to stampede Nigeria into fraudulent victory claim through ballot snatching/swapping must be gunned down

iwayumeh:
Your hypocrisy stinks
.when he was bankrolling Buhari Election he was a saint now that he wants to run he is a thief ...

You have brain but u ain't using it , so stop being a disgrace to your family earn your stipend and shut up

Your level of exposure is so poor, if you think Atiku has all the money in this world, how come he couldn't buy APC ticket as he did easily in PDP in couple of weeks he re-joined PDP? You will perish because of your lack of knowledge.
Atiku is going nowhere, quote me many times, he has been destroyed already by Obasanjo, no reasonable country people or military will ever tolerate such character.
As for you and your family, stop depending on money from politicians for a living. Educate yourself or learn a trade to enable you take care of yourselves.

iwayumeh:
Only an Animal will vote Buhari , No human Being with functional brain will vote a senile old man with dimentia

Only people that have penchant for stealing, disorganised people and lazy people that can't survive on a level playing ground will vote atiku.

Babyish, worst party chairman ever.

dokie:
And Mc oluomo is a civil servant.

What did he do?

lomprico:
Must it be?

People shld not try n snatch ballot! simple.


Afterall ballot snatching is not constitutional.

I hate buhari but he is right on this as long as it cuts across any political thug including apc's!

No thugs in APC
PDP only rely on thugs and confirmed armed robbers such as Saraki's trained Offa robbers to steal and rig votes for PDP

stagger:
Rafa won two titles in less than one season at Chelsea. That he is even keeping Newcastle United up with less than average players shows his coaching acumen.

Any, GGMU!

There was momentum for winning matches even before Rafa came.
Me would have preferred De Mateo, the attack of Mata, Oscar, Hazard was so dreadfully sharp and purposeful with results

Sarri is confused.

oganoble:
But seriously, the number of kids( well below 18 years) with PVCs in the North is alarming.

Those you called kids are actually well above 18 that are suffering from stunted growth. Irony of it is 15 -16 years old kids in the south that have the look of 25+ years old.

Prodigytal:
Nigerians are super eager to condemn their country but super reluctant to contribute to its development. Start talking about Nigeria's problems and people will bring chairs. Tell them to join you to clean the street, they'll disappear.

A 21 year old American want to cure cancer.
A 21 year old Israeli is working on clean energy.
A 21 year old Chinese is manufacturing on a large scale.
A 21 year old Nigerian just wants to buy benz.

It's not the president that'll develop the country. It's the people. And it's the people that choose the president.

Frankly speaking, Buhari is correct

izombie:
But those countries he mentioned are doing things with their corruption monies.
Sowore don disappoint with this statement.

It is too complex for you to understand

Even his comment is different from the interview just granted by Tambuwal. If Saraki has done so much why Tambuwal said he begged, prostrated and held Tinubu's leg in his room to make Saraki the deputy senate President?

This man stupidity is immeasurable. How can Saraki even Amaechi that Tinubu brought into APC will have more stakes than Tinubu in APC? From neutral point of view, Tony Momoh explained how Tinubu brought in the 5 governors ....
