Those defectors are real politicians that know that nothing can make obi president under labour party so they wont waste their time and energy supporting a failed project

He's only a failed project if you make him one. It's in our hands my brother. He's not perfect but he's trustworthy, competent and has no business with corruption.
Me and you can let the "real politicians" understand that we own them. That we have choices. That we're not slaves.

No truth there. The post was published by a Yoruba hating bigot, which Obi blocked his name, it's the thought the deceit and bigotry being fueled by Obi.

Ok I understand you're angry but it's there on Twitter as well. Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba people calling him out on there too.

I like that you're scrutinizing the candidate but from my research, I'd say Peter Obi though not perfect but is still the best candidate for Nigeria right now. In your opinion, who do you think is best for Nigeria and why?

Enough with all this gibberish and answer a simple question: is Reno Omokri wrong? Is Onne not in the SS? What exactly do you think the "Port" in "Port Harcourt" stands for? Peter Obi just caught telling a lie so brazen even a primary school student should have seen through it, and all you have to offer in response is the garbage-pail full of conspiratorial non-sequiturs you dumped above? Pathetic!

I would love to see the day when you Zombidiots show yourselves able to admit error or at least counter criticisms with facts, instead of spewing insults and incoherent irrelevancies in a laughable effort at saving face. I'm sure you'd resort to the same tactics even if he told you to your face that 2 + 3 = 7.

There are ports just like there are refineries in Nigeria but we still import fuel lol.
You should know the truth by now brother. It's either those ports are condemned far beyond repair or working at 1% productivity.

do u know America too was colonised?when the colonial masters left the African countries they were better of than now.we keep looking for people to blame for the failure of our countries in Africa. An average Nigerian governor is richer than the American president and we wonder why we're backwards?

Immediately America was colonised by the British, Spanish and French, the first thing they did was set sail for Africa to begin slavery that went on for 400 years.
America wasn't colonised for it's labour or market to be exploited. America had nothing on it, just Indians. They took everything from Africa to America. Royalty was taxing entrepreneurs highly (esp in Britain) so they decided to build their empire made from African slavery in America instead.

I used to be like you. I used to say "how can we blame people that left over 60 years ago". When I got the bottom of it, I realised how naive I had been. The only reason why some African countries were better off then was because they still had their natural resources like gold to trade until the Europeans took EVERYTHING. African countries that had gold have none now.

Back to the main point of leaders. The politics and capitalism we see today in Africa was taught to us by Europeans and the way they did that was with hate, racism and exploitation of labour. What European writers love to point out is that they informally taught Africa industrialisation but they purposely exclude the part where they taught us political exploitation informally.
Formally, they trained offsprings of our kings to see themselves as Europeans first. They also trained cadets to the highest level to carry out these political exploitations. An e.g is Buhari.

The good side of educating these cadets and offsprings of kings is that they got to understand the value of independence so they fought for it but along the way, some bad eggs amongst them learnt that Nigeria could be exploited and our illiteracy capitalised on which was the core of Colonialism. The colonials knew what they did when they joined northern and southern Nigeria.

Whatever "script, syllabus etc" you see these our leaders playing out is not even original. They're only copying what the Europeans did.

The solution, just like what triggered the cadets and offsprings of kings to fight for our independence, is the same. EDUCATION. Even Europeans were exploited by their own rulers X100 of what we have today I mean they still let Monarchs like Queen Elizabeth and the new King rule them without voting till date. We were under colonial masters for 100 years until the colonials do mistake educate us to do their office work because they got lazy and in 2 years people were already fighting for independence angry

. Just a taste of education esp in the north go trigger crazy revolts so KEEP EDUCATING PEOPLE!

This state has all it takes to be the next schenzhen or Dubai of Africa, currently it has the work force , the land , a little capital, coastal waters , proximity to market in Aba ,port harcourt and Onitsha and proximity to large hectares of agricultural land in Benue and cross River.

All it needs is to host a power city were agricultural and industrial will collide and products will be shipped out to neighbor state and to the world via a seaport

I'm not even from Akwa Ibom but I want so badly for those things to happen to this state. I only ever hear good news from there.

I pray to God and our ancestors and the motherland that something changes in the next election. Nigeria could be on the path of rapid development in the next 6-7 years.

YOU ALL NEED TO DIG DEEP INTO HISTORY TO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ALL THESE BRITISH MONARCHS AND THEIR KIDS.

(1) The main purpose of colonising was to exploit the African continent of its resources, market and labour. In this case, Britian on Nigeria and the queen gave them funding from their treasury of slave trading Africans to invest in The Niger company.

(2) Colonisers were racist to Nigerians (Africans)

(3) Colonisers treated their subordinates or equal Africans with hate, zero respect and paid them less.

(4) The Colonisers had special cadets trained to carry out their bidding of exploitation in Africa. E.g Buhari had high military trainings overseas and in Nigeria.

(5) Colonisers taught us politics.

(6) These cadets and subordinates fought for our independence as it so happens that they were the most educated Nigerians but they had also learnt exploitation and evil capitalism informally along the way.

(7) These African cadets and subordinates of European education grab power, exploit and capitalise on the African people.

(8.) Nigerians were too busy fighting each other and failed to revolt against the British to get back all what they lost. (That's why all our sculptures are still in UK till date lol) The British saw remains of Colonialism but without their political interference and so them no put mouth in wetin them teach us. That is, they're still getting our exports for cheap. Their companies are still mining our natural resources. We're still getting poor quality imports for more and it hasn't stopped for a day.

Whatever you see today in Nigeria with Buhari or Tinubu either divide and rule method or using uneducated side against educated ones, Europeans did it best to us.

All Africans need to unlearn a lot of things.

For real, let's lower the mic. Colonization though painful but also has it's good side. God bless us all. May the soul of late Queen Elizabeth rest in peace.

I'm not gonna be mad at you because I know it's because you don't know. I used to be like you until I educated myself. Read this book thoroughly 'How Europe Underdeveloped Africa'.
The said "good sides" were written by the colonisers themselves so how good do you think it is?
Most of the bad things you see in Nigeria right now is the system that colonisers left in place. The underpaid jobs, rude administrators, poor quality of imports, wicked capitalism but worst of all is the amalgamation of the country Nigeria itself that birth this current nonsense political atmosphere we have today.

Most people are not scholarly inclined when it comes to reading and having scholarly discussions. The evidence is Nairaland for instance, how many people write well, spell well and punctuate well? You don't have to be discouraged. I still have people that will call me if writing, assignment or things like that come their way, that makes me Demigod. Distinguish yourself.

About favorite book, to be honest, I can't even name any book my favorite, because I enjoyed each one I read differently.

You should check these books out:
Black Boy by Richard Wright
Americana by Chimamamda Adichie
So Long A Letter by Mariam ma
William Shakespearean plays and sonnets
African child by Camara Laye
The old man and the medal by Ferdinand Oyono
Efuru by Flora Nwakpa
Second class citizen by Buchie Emecheta
Stillborn by Zainab Alkali
Weep Not Child
Devil on the Cross
I will marry when I want
Grain of wheat
Petals of blood, all by Ngugi Wa Thiongo
Violence by Festus Iyayi
The last duty by Okpehowo
There was a country by Chinua Achebe.

I totally agree! The consciousness of the populace is going under that even former readers are now glued to tv screens, forgetting that there's a huge difference between movies and books. Sad!
Thanks for the recommendations!
You could check out Anxious People by Frederick Backman for mystery and a touch of reality.

Yes, reading is an exciting hobby. It keeps me well informed, entertained. I am always ahead of others when having scholarly discussions and it makes me versatile too.

Harry Potter is a great book, I read it and I also watched the movies.

Books like Native Son by Richard Wright, How Europe Underdevelop Africa by Roodney, Why We Struck by Adeyemoga, There Was A Country by Achebe, books from Oscar Wilde, Benard Shaw, Shakespearean sonnets and plays, Christopher Marlowe, Aristotle poetics, and classical writers like Horace, Sophocles and Longinus, French books and African classical books like African child by Camara Laye, The Blinkards by Kobina, and others will make an interesting read.

What are the odds lol I just finished with Native Son and last week How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. I highlighted several points and tried to liken it to what is going on today in Nigeria and even posted on my WhatsApp, nobody could even discuss.

Tell me your favourite book of all time and I'll begin reading right now wink

. I'll also add those up there to my list.

"You just answered your own question. Yes it happened because Lagos was a former capital."

You need to lay off the weed bro.

Oh I forgot I quoted you. I was trying to make an intro lol. In truth it has nothing to do with being the capital. I believe it was chosen as the capital in 1960 because of its level of development.

My main point is of the effect of capitalism left by the whites in the colonies.

Another point is that big changes takes time and therefore Tinubu's works in public office can only be recognised if his successors finish them so how is Tinubu already getting praises when it's not yet time?

ElSudani:
Some of you would not know what development means even if hits you on your forehead. Lagos is one of the largest economies in Africa today. In 1999 when Tinubu was sworn in as governor it wasn't so. Do you think this just happened by itself without any conscious effort from anyone or it happened just because Lagos was a former capital? Use your head, don't vote for a guy without any achievements.

You just answered your own question. Yes it happened because Lagos was a former capital. Lagos was one of the few cities in Africa that had continued with exporting one or two items even after we had become a continent that depended on Europe.

And so, the whites chose cities like Gold Coast, Lagos, S.A, Kenya as their HQ for colonising to further exploit exports through Capitalism.

In Lagos, the whites developed roads that led to water banks(Lagos Island) for easy export of our underpriced raw materials and exports and they built several companies and banks to further exploit us.

By the time we regained our freedom, Lagos had bred a lot of entrepreneurs (major capitalist) who were teeming to copy exactly what the whites were doing(capitalism).

So no. Tinubu did not do anything. Whatever you see as progress in Lagos is simply a result of the forces of capitalism in an overpopulated state.

eforce:
Here are the best in Ado-ekiti
1. House of Faith-(Although there is a lot of emphasis on giving, it is a new generation church that would help you in times like this)
2.MFM- The place lacks a little in good music, but very good mostly in spiritual affairs such as deliverance and fervent prayers.
3.AGAPE- This is a branch of the main church in Akure, it is also just like house of faith, strategically positioned for youth development and destiny fulfilment.
4.Redemmed( Life Gate parish at adehun)complete church, they have a little of everything, messages are basically bible study
5.chapel of his glory- Old school church, (faith of our fathers living still).Lacks motivational enlightenments but very christlike
6.deeper Life_ like every other one in the country, holiness is our watchword, that;s all
6b. global harvest church- youth church , motivational and forward moving.
7. winners chapel- everybody's church including politicians and commissioners, aristos and all yet there are still good christians there, what you go there to find is what you would get, giving is also an emphasis though
8.christ embassy- Party church, good motivation for destiny fulfillment, but falls behind in christian living and holiness, in other words you might get lost in the church, there is also a little bit of pastor worship but very good for destiny fulfillment and healing

These are the churches on our radar in ado-ekiti, Grace covenant is also there but dont know much about them. CAC too is good but i had to remove it when one of the branches had issues with their pastor, i don't know what state they are now, that was some years ago though.
at poster, there is nothing like church prostitution, as far as christianity and the bible is concerned, every ministry has a specific calling, only redeemed comes closest to a complete church, even though redeemed is still more for salvation etc. you have to look inward and determine with the guidance of God, exactly what you need and the ministry to provide it, you may have to attend 2 or 3 ministries constantly. It would also prevent you from pastor worship,stagnancy and religious activities as against faith and the fruit of the spirit.
God bless you.

Politics › Re: Buhari and Tinubu In Daura Today (Pictures) by Babysho(m): 6:04pm On Jul 12, 2022

Throwback:
Seeing that Tinubu has chosen Shettima as his running mate, I congratulate him in advance of their victory at the polls.

He has chosen the right person with a good balance of corporate and political exposure just like Tinubu himself.

He has chosen a North Easterner with Kanuri heritage to secure both Bornu and Yobe.

He has chosen a Muslim which will appeal to Northern Muslims and would not erode the confidence that Southern Christians like me already have in a Muslim like Tinubu who had the courage to return missionary schools to their majority Christian owners despite Muslim objections in Lagos then.

He has avoided El Rufai who has his baggage as a religious and tribal zealot, despite his administrative excellence.

He has chosen a very loyal and dependable ally that will serve Nigeria well.

I can't wait for Tinubu to work his magic at the federal level. This is what the APC was set up to achieve for Nigeria - administrative competence, economic growth, democracy/rule of law/rights of the citizenry.

Do you really believe these words? Especially that last paragraph. We literally just had 8 years of APC. Are you real? You’re scaring me
