well..if you think i am islamophobe, whatever that means, then you left me no choice but to accept. how ever i am glad you agree that nigeria is not one nation

You are

its not about being one its about igbo Christians intolerance!....sha spear asari dokubo and other biafran muslims life when biafra is actualized.

Also,Your brain is free to interpret my post to what pleases you and what you want to hear

gypsey:
i am glad you agree, more reason why this country needs to be divided, so that the north can have their mulsims students and religion and the south their own. it's clear they are not one Nation or religion.

dont use biafra to cover up for your islamophobia because i'm very sure you will later campaign for fayose,PDP and atiku on the other thread

you are just an islamophobe,simple!

you will never see a muslim shouting christianization if all graduating UNN medical students are Christians or question the scenario.

And if you later get your biafra,you can decide to kill asari dokubo for being a muslim

gypsey:
why is it that they are all muslims?

Islamphobe.

you are about to cry islamization right?
what makes some Christians happy is to see muslims being backward and being known as just terrorists.

can you show us the picture of UNN nsuka graduating medical students and tell us how many muslims are among them.

I totally agree with the OP.I am Ibadan based!

nairavsdollars:
Olodo.Ekiti is the safest. Ajimobi is the worst governor in the South West

Use your brain.Dont let hatred eat up your life.Check the topic of the thread well.The Op is only comparing Ajimobi regime to that of others not southwest!

At first I thought people were just being modest, but
I’m actually starting to think that Nigerians don’t
recognize how much cultural influence they wield.
I have no idea what’s going to happen when they
wake up to this fact and lean into this leverage.


In June 2017, I was lucky to spend 4 weeks helping
the team at Paystack think through product marketing
and growth.
My month in Lagos was a humbling experience.
While I was prepared to be impressed (did you know
that there’re almost as many people living in the city
of Lagos as there are in the entire country of Ghana?),
Lagos still found a way to surprise me. I found a city
full of talented doers, working hard to collectively
build something much larger than themselves.
Collected below are a few quick observations from the
trip.
(Quick caveat to say that these are my subjective
impressions from a short 4 weeks of observation. If
there’s something I got really wrong, please feel free
to correct me at emmanuel@theflint.io)


People seem unafraid to ask for help:

I was surprised by how intensely collaborative the
Lagos tech startup community appeared to be.
CEOs of other startups would routinely drop by the
Paystack office to help us think through ideas, or
come seeking feedback on something they were
working on.
Seyi Taylor, CEO of BigCabal Media, routinely signals
that his business is supported by a family of
supporters from outside the company.


One especially memorable example of this was when
a friend compiled a 5000+ word analysis of his
company, and then shared that internal strategy
document outside the company, seeking feedback
from a select group of friends from across the
ecosystem.
It really does feel like people here aren’t shy about
reaching out and asking for help from each other.


Non-engineering talent is more visible:

Startups in Ghana and Nigeria routinely complain that
there’s an acute shortage of skilled software
developers in both countries. But I believe we don’t
talk enough about another, even more acute skills
shortage — the shortage of the critical non-engineering
talent that our startups need to scale.


Marketing, product management, product design — 
these are only a few of the roles that many startups
are struggling to hire for right now.But while the
situation could be a lot better in both countries, I felt
like I ran into skilled non-engineering talent a lot more
often in Lagos.


At the #HackGrowthWithUX event at the Co-Creation
Hub, I enjoyed a long conversation about SEO with
Abdulrahman Jogbojogbo, a digital marketer on the
Growth team at Hotels.ng. A few days, later, I was
pleased to meet designers and account managers
from the brand + product agency, Cregital.


In general, I felt like I met non-technical talent more
frequently in Lagos, which I assume reflects an
understanding by Lagos teams that it takes many
different skill-sets to win.

Nigerians seem genuinely unaware of the huge reach
of their cultural products across Africa (and beyond):


A few years ago, a few friends and I travelled to the
tiny islands of São Tomé and Príncipe (a former
Portuguese colony about an hour south of Accra by
plane) to celebrate New Year’s Day. The highlight of
the trip was an epic, all-island dance party on the
beach. For the first few hours, the DJs tried and failed
to get the party started with with what sounded like
local hits. Eventually they gave up and played what
everyone was there for: Nigerian music.


I tell this anecdote to exemplify the extent to which
Nigerian music has taken over. It’s an open secret
across the continent that Nigerian popular culture
currently dominates. In music, movies, and the arts,
Nigeria looms large in a way that leaves local artists
in other African countries frustrated and envious.


I’m beginning to suspect that the average Nigerian is
utterly oblivious to this. In conversation after
conversation, my Nigerian friends seemed genuinely
confused by what I was talking about when I tried to
engage them in a discussion about the continent-wide
dominance of Nigerian culture.


At first I thought people were just being modest, but
I’m actually starting to think that Nigerians don’t
recognize how much cultural influence they wield.
I have no idea what’s going to happen when they wake
up to this fact and lean into this leverage.


There’s a palpable sense of mission and urgency:

Underlying many conversations I have with people in
Lagos tech is heady sense of mission. It’s hard to
describe.


It’s probably best exemplified by the #YabaTownHall
community event which happened on June 23rd.
People passionate about the Lagos tech ecosystem
came together for an open conversation about what
the community needs to do to ignite more successes.
The resulting Open Manifesto is worth looking at, as is
the conversation around the event on Twitter.


While it’s early days for this initiative, it’s hard to deny
that people truly, genuinely care about being a part of
something much larger than themselves.And I get the
impression that this thing is larger than merely
“startups.”


It feels like multiple members of Lagos’ technology
community realize that they’re blessed with valuable
skills, and they’re seeking ways to channel their
energies towards a Lagos, and a country, they can be
proud of.

Last thoughts:

I’d like to say a huge thank you to the Paystack team
for an incredible month in Lagos! I’m returning home
to Accra inspired and, to be honest, a little envious of
what the Lagos startup community has.
There is a lot working against this community, but I
have no doubt that multiple companies will emerge
from Lagos that will shake the world.


If you’re a player in African tech, I highly recommend
spending some time in Lagos to observe and learn.
The city, and it’s community, has a lot to teach.

Amarabae:
We will not take it, how can our chukwu okike abiama jewish people betray us,
chai!
But i thought netanyahu is having a big meeting with trump inorder to give biafra referendum,
chai
NB: the moral of the story is that ipob should not think that usa nor israel will fight Britain over biafra,
they all have stake in Nigeria oil and gas.
An agitation built on propaganda and false sense of solidarity is a disaster waiting to happen.

Amarabae?

magoo10:
If you are waiting for Igbo's to beg you to be president then you will wait another 10,000 years,Igbo's are democratic in nature ,t is not by force to answer Nigeria ,simply leave them to go.

If being the president of Nigeria is an achievement there won't be a large number of almajiri in the north involving in suicide bombings.
the north have ruled Nigeria for many years with nothing to show for.

Blaming only the Igbo's for the war is not reasonable, all the military men who fought that war ,obasanjo Gowon,buhari,danjuma etc should also be blamed for going into war and breaching the aburi accord.

why will he wait?...Onaheze ndigbo has been begging for it for years

This people and empty chestbeat are 5&6!

Biafra doesn't exist.lagos is beside Nigeria

Bmaster:

Tolexander:
Glad to see that something like this can still happen in Nigeria. Not on the land, but on the water.

Good news.

RIP to the dead woman.

Sunymoore:
Yeah.. In Kano.. Kano na dabo tumbin giwa..

It make sense.some people will come put am for lagos and later claim lagos is underdeveloping them and at the same time see their host as rivals and enemies.

I'm a yoruba man.I love lagos.
Abuja is finer.
but lagos is greater!

The OPs is high on enugu weed.

northern leaders in PDP not just ordinary northern leaders.

NwaChibuzor3:
This guy is a disgrace to Nigerian politics and we the people of biafra are irritated by this. When Biafra is liberated, Nigeria can enjoy the thugs they portray as leaders (fayose, dino etc) and their living corpse presido, Buhari. Even though we form the minority is this god forsaken country called Nigeria, We the great people of Biafra have always been the backbone of Nigerian politics since independence and have brought decorum to it thanks to people like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Uzor Kalu, pat utomi, okonjo iweala, chris ngige, uche chukwumerije, olu, martin elechi, theo orji, chukwuma kaduna, chike obi, ironsi and so many more i can't list because my fingers are getting sore.
I've not even mention our contribution to military, economy and agriculture yet.

But majority of his lovers are biafrans!

For the records. At the Twilight of Obasanjo's administration he made the then EFCC boss to investigate the entire 36 state governors and ONLY Donald Duke was 100 percent clean.....
So I was shocked why Obasanjo would choose Jonathan over Duke as yaradua's running mate

Obasanjo was looking for a mumu.GEJ is more mumu looking!

When will Hausa Christians lead CAN?
Hausa Christians are not real Christians or are they second class citizens?

Those people,na so them go dey look for trouble and later come back to shout people hate them because they are jealous of them

tuniski:
It was an ethno-religious gang up laced with a sprinkle of desperate politicians from Southwest.

Like southeast igbo,southsouth,southwest yoruba and
middle belt(north central) ganged up against the core
north and buhari in 2011.


politics and democracy is a game of ganging up and
deganging through votes.You guys should stop
sounding too emotional and babyish.
