Politics / Re: Are Igbos Violent People??? by beejaay: 12:35pm On Jun 16, 2023
izombie:
I ask this question because of the arrest of the yoruba guy that wants igbos to be killed on facebook and his reason is that igbos are violent. That made me to wonder where he got this opinion from.
Igbos have been living together with yorubas even before i was born and i have never heard that igbos and yorubas are fighting each other. If you have ever heard that please tell me. The hausa fulani and the yorubas have fought each other in the south west with many killed but i have never heard this sort of vile comment from any yoruba against the hausa?
I keep telling my igbo brothers, if you want to buy anything buy from the east or build in the east. The hatred against igbos is real. What exactly have the igbos done wrong to these people? Check very well, Nothing.
Are the igbos violent?

another Igbo thread.. una no dey tire... an average of 30 threads on igbo everyday.. are you guys that jobless? every thread, every comments on every threads that has nothing to do with igbo must have igbo innuendoes....is Igbo your god??oro yin ti fe suwa ooo

EmperorHadrian2:
Tinubu is the only individual I see who can steer Nigeria out of this Zikist handed down centrist arrangement which only the Igbo and the Fulani are totally committed to .

Tinubu has already began in that direction by signing legislation that are slowly devolving powers from the centre and giving states more responsibilities and control of their resources.

This is what the Igbos are staunchly against and why their hatred for Tinubu is to the extreme.


everytime igbo this igbo that.. anti igbo thread on nairaland is surely more than 30% of all threads on politics sections...i feel jealous not being igbo.. every stupid person that wants validation must talk about igbo sha, kilode gan

What do you mean by run currency at deficit?. The Chinese inflate their currency more than the USA and Nigeria inflate far more than the US. The rate at which the price of goods and services increase or rises is the rate of inflation and Nigeria and China does it more than the USA. More or less all countries print money anyhow they like but Nigeria is the worst in West Africa. A bottle of beer that was 300 last year is now 500 and etc etc. That is how it works.

US budget is always run at deficit, this gives them the chance to print money at will while still managing inflation...no countries in the world can print currency like the us does and still manage its inflation like the us and not destroyed in a short while...

What actually happened was that Ghadafi's son announced on tv that the civil war will soon be over in a few hours and he wanted to achieve this by bombing out Libyan cities from the air. Ghadafi got the monies to buy the ammunitions by selling oil to the West and even if not so, it would be irresponsible for anyone with power and influence to look on. There was then a no fly zone imposed on Libya by NATO so that Ghadafi will not commit a monumental massacre of his own people. Overtime the tables turned and Ghadafi forces were overwhelmed by the rebels. He was advised to flee or negotiate with them but he said they have to come to him and not him to them. The rebels bursted his fortifications and killed him execution style. I for one was among the people raising the alarm online that it would be wrong to allow Ghadafi use Libyan money to bomb out Libyan cities. How many Libyans have you seen blaming NATO?. Most people who complain are not Libyans because the average Libyan knows that the revolution that outed Ghadafi was a very popular one. People want freedom too and not to be treated like cattle.

As an individual, if you have assets or even an idea, you will be able to get loans. Dangote borrowed all the monies he used to build his refineries with no collateral. As a nation, if you have revenue, you will be able to borrow money against that revenue and that is why all nations are steeped in debt proportional to their revenue. Can you explain to me the advantage the US is using?. No institution is watched more closely by governments across the world than the US Federal reserve that controls dollar inflation and so far, the Chinese, Indians and etc are satisfied.

trust me he cant understand your point..
Foreign Affairs / Re: Why Should Trade Between African Countries Be In Dollars - Ruto by beejaay: 8:55pm On Jun 14, 2023
lawani:
If all of Africa are using one currency, then they won't need the dollar for internal trade just like Europe does not but how much internal trade does Africa have?. Almost negligible!. For external trade, they would still need dollars because no other currency would suffice. If China were collecting income tax heavily like say the Japanese and have very low inflation, then their currency will be very attractive because the volume is large. The best currency that stores value best may be Norway's but the volume in circulation is negligible. What applies to China applies to India. The only real challenge to the dollar is the Euro as the economy is also large and inflation low. However you have to choose only one forex unit as using multiple currencies will be a headache. Ask a nearby importer. Even the Chinese will choose the dollar not to talk of Indiana because it makes trade easy for them. The US does not need the advantage to be rich. Japan, Norway, Germany etc don't have any such advantage and they are as rich if not richer. Infact many people in the US complain that inflation in the US would not have been so high if not that they are printing dollars to satisfy international markets. They complain that liquid assets of portfolio investors in the USA depreciate faster because of dollar inflation and US citizens have no other issued currency. Even if Africa has one currency, the Chinese will not likely collect that currency from them. They will demand for dollars. I think eventually the US themselves will do something about the unfortunate situation in which they have found themselves but for now there is practically no option for importers and exporters and importing and exporting is a private affair of importers and exporters. Not that of government.

thank you.. first real education for people here.. this thread actually expose the ignorance of people as per international trade, no wonder the country is not growing ( alot of people dont know and dont realize they dont know)... no country can try what the US is doing for the world not even the euro dollar countries combined...

Africa can also have a unifying currency like the European Euros so all intercontinental trade is done in that unifying currency.

uzomakanaki:
Fellow nairalanders, please I need advice from matured minds in this group.

I'm in a two year relationship with my woman, we're both working. I'm 34 while she's 27. My montly salary and commision is over 200k with other side hustle i do that bring in funds for me, i also just got a car i want to register with bolt/uber to still bring in funds in my free time.

My fiancee on the other hand is earning 75k monthly. I take good care of her needs and makes sure she doesn't lack anything I can afford.

We both plan to settle down by December.

Sometimes last month she missed her period, after the test we discovered she's 5 weeks pregnant.

I'm against abortion because of the dangers involved in the aftermath, i suggested she keep the baby while I come and see her family and do some necessary things before the main wedding. But she insisted in aborting the baby, reason being that she can't be pregnant and be working. Unless I place her on a monthly salary.

She has aborted the baby and had complications because of the quack nurse that performed the abortion. I spent a lot to make her back on her feet

I'm gradually losing interest in the relationship cos that single act of her. I've kept this to myself.

I just need advice on how to handle this. Cos I'm already fed up with her with her recent disrespect and the way she talks to me anyhow even in public.

the baby was not your in the first place.. she knew what she was doing and it was you in the dark..wake up bro

But surprisingly, when president Tinubu entered all the remarks suddenly dropped and almost an entire group of people are claiming to be anti-yoruba up and down.
Why do some Nigerians behave like this?

Politics / Re: Debunking The Apc's Malicious Article On Murtala Yakubu Ajaka Of SDP by beejaay: 1:23pm On Jun 09, 2023
ObserversTimes:
Competence and Passion for Development Trump Mere Certificates: Debunking the APC's Malicious Article on Murtala Yakubu Ajaka

Introduction

Recently, a malicious article published by the All Progressive Congress (APC) attempted to undermine the credibility and competence of Murtala Yakubu Ajaka by suggesting that he had only submitted a secondary school certificate. Such a baseless attack on a candidate's qualifications undermines the essence of true leadership, which lies in competence, passion for development, and a vision for progress. This article aims to debunk these unfounded claims and highlight the importance of focusing on qualities that truly matter for the betterment of society.

Competence: Beyond Paper Qualifications

While formal education undoubtedly plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's knowledge and skills, it is essential to recognize that competence extends beyond mere certificates. Competence encompasses a wide range of qualities, such as critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and a track record of accomplishments.

Murtala Yakubu Ajaka's experience in various leadership positions, both within the public and private sectors, speaks volumes about his competence. He has consistently demonstrated his ability to drive positive change, implement innovative policies, and foster collaboration between different stakeholders for the betterment of communities. These achievements are testament to his ability to deliver results, regardless of the level of formal education he possesses.

Passion for Development: A Catalyst for Progress

A passion for development and a genuine desire to uplift communities is a characteristic that should be valued above all else in a leader. True leaders are driven by a vision to create positive change, to address societal challenges, and to improve the lives of those they serve.

Murtala Yakubu Ajaka's unwavering dedication to the development of his community is well-known. His initiatives to empower youth through skills acquisition programs, his focus on sustainable infrastructure development, and his commitment to healthcare access for all are all reflective of his passion for the betterment of society. These qualities demonstrate that his leadership is fueled by a genuine desire to make a difference, and that he is well-equipped to address the needs and aspirations of the people he represents.

Beyond Mere Certificates: A Call for Balanced Evaluation

While formal education is undoubtedly important and should not be discounted, it should not be the sole criterion by which we evaluate leaders. Merely focusing on certificates can overlook individuals who possess the necessary qualities and skills to effect positive change, but may not have had the same access to educational opportunities as others.

A balanced evaluation of leadership candidates should consider a holistic view of their abilities, accomplishments, and their commitment to the development and progress of their communities. This ensures that those who have the passion, dedication, and expertise required for effective leadership are given the opportunity to serve.

Conclusion

The malicious article published by the APC, suggesting that Murtala Yakubu Ajaka only submitted a secondary school certificate, is a clear attempt to undermine his credibility and divert attention from his demonstrated competence and passion for development. True leadership lies not in mere certificates, but in a combination of competence, vision, and dedication to the welfare of the people.

As responsible citizens, we must reject the narrow-minded focus on certificates and instead prioritize evaluating leaders based on their abilities to bring about meaningful change. Murtala Yakubu Ajaka's track record speaks for itself, and his commitment to development and progress makes him a formidable candidate deserving of support. Let us focus on what truly matters: competence, passion, and a genuine desire to create a better society for all.

Politics / Re: Clarity On The Rights Of Non-Yoruba In Lagos by beejaay: 4:16pm On Jun 08, 2023
ImperialYoruba:
1. Igbos are Nigerians so they have the right that every Nigerian have.

2. Lagos was former capital of Nigeria and every Nigerian have equal right in it.

3. What are the things in Lagos that you want only Yorubas to enjoy that other tribes shouldn't enjoy?

4. I just want to know these things that an average Yoruba man should enjoy in Lagos that shouldn't be available for other tribes


These questions about status of Lagos, and many similar to it, are very good questions to ask and discuss considering where we are politically, culturally, socially and economically.

I am going to provide my own clarity and help initiate what I hope will be a rich interaction to further educate and put everybody in their place and calm frustrations and anxiety. The answers are outlined structurally to aid understanding, and not aligned with the order the questions above are itemized.

1. Nigeria as a country is diverse in all its aspects of customs, traditions, cultures, ancestry, civilization and organization. These elements of society are the defines around which communities are properly identified. What makes me a Yoruba person is also the quality that denies me identity as an Ibo or Hausa person. My identity is defined to a root and that root is built on customs, traditions, cultures, ancestry, civilization and so on. This is our diversity, it should be cherished. Those who refuse to cherish their root identity are quick to embrace the identity offered them by the Constitution of Nigeria. So what identity has the Constitution offered to anyone?

2. The Nigerian Constitution has never denied its subordinate status to the customary order that pre-existed formation of Nigeria. It speaks of unity because it acknowledges a diversity which exist naturally and possess a tendency to do so independently if left without a legal framework for harmonization.

In other words, Nigerian Constitution is a framework for bringing people together who naturally do not belong together and will not stay peacefully together but have potentials which if tied in a partnership of harmony could lead to evolution of a better society overall.

Let me repeat this one more time. Nigerian Constitution is not a divine order. It is a document intended to hold together a partnership for progressive and better society that profits all groups.

Nigerian Constitution therefore creates avenues for Yoruba living in Iboland or Hausaland to harmonise with the customs and traditions of that foreign land so he can profit from them, and he does not conduct himself in ways which bring disharmony to the Ibos or Hausas on their indigeneous land. If this is achieved the harmonious state results in better society. This is similar for Hausaman living in Ibo or Yorubaland. It is also compelling on Iboman living in Hausaland or Yorubaland to do so in harmony with the land.

When this harmony is broken or thrown off balance then the Constitution is breached and a means of intervention must be applied to restore harmony using the privileged divine order. When the disharmony is multiplied in the frequency at which it occurs, or the sources from which it is acted, then a general state of diminished returns in profitability, resourcefulness and animosity will develop that pushes more and more into the risk areas that the Constitution was formulated to prevent, i.e. a tendency for the diverse peoples to exist independently and uncooperative...or at extreme points to attack one another.

We are currently in that risk zone. The predominance of our interaction across our diverse identities and at every strata of society, up from traditional rulers, political leaders, corporate leaders, down to the street beggar, has been that of antagonism and in each other's throat. The steam is bottled in and under intense pressure, one way or the other it must explode. To prevent an explosion an intervention is needed to vent the steam under a supervised arrangement.

What is the root cause of the disharmony?

3. History of ancestry and privileged civilization. Part of the diversity in Nigeria takes root in historical civilization and urban evolution. The ethnic groups of Nigeria do not have relatable history, we developed each in different dimensions and pace. At the top of the food chain of civilization is Yoruba. From here it rolls down with different groups gaining civilization and urbanism centuries later.

If we are looking to pick five top early civilized groups, and those who in turn civilized others it will be Yoruba, Benin, Kanuri, Hausa, Nupe in that order. These were pre colonial and pre Nigeria civilizations.

There is a secondary and modern civilization that occurred in time of colonial intervention. This is with Western ideology substituting itself in place of ancestral civilization and philosophies. In this secondary wave is where we find Ibo and a host of other minority groups.

The majority groups in Nigeria ought to have aligned with historical majority but Britain used vendetta against Benin to elevate Ibo above Benin kingdom, thus Ibo was accorded majority political status alongside Yoruba in West and Hausa in North. To update Ibo and give it equal footing for administrative authority under indirect rule, the colonists appointed administrators to be king over their territories. A people of deficient civilization have now been upgraded and treated as equal with societies that have maintained centuries of civilized evolution, many elements of which even surpass that credited to Roman Empire. Ibo was still a slave class when the powers of Benin Kingdom was at its peak. But now the Kingdom is made subservient to the slave. Britain stole not only the treasures of Benin, they also looted its history and status.

The modernity of Ibo upgrade is the root cause of disharmony in Nigeria today.

The power to manage their own development is poor, and so they are found wanting and devoid of skills and prowess to exercise the responsibilities of a majority and politically relevant society across the Nigerian terrain. Consequently, their inability to exercise leadership has resulted in clashes and despise across all regions and brought disharmony and flagrant violations of the code of civilized living. To mask their extreme deficiency they hide under the provisions of Constitution and pretend to be civilized and deserving of civilized treatment on foreign lands.

4. Lagos was a former capital of Nigeria and no one group owns it. There is nowhere in the Constitution of Nigeria where Lagos is defined as former capital of Nigeria. Lagos is defined as a State, like Sokoto, Abia, Bayelsa, Kogi. No more no less. It is hearsay to keep throwing that label out while defending yourself as eligible for Constitutional protection in Lagos. The Constitution you hide under has not told you that Lagos was a former capital...but it tells you Lagos is a State. Therefore accept Lagos as defined in Constitution, a State!

Do Ibo have rights in Lagos? Yes, they do. They have rights and obligations. It is their obligation to live in harmony with other people in Lagos so everybody can enjoy a cooperative relationship and profit overall. Of all Nigerians living in Lagos, Ibo stand out as the least willing to promote harmony. At every opportunity Ibo is antagonizing and belligerent. Again to return to constitution, only the indigenes with ancestral roots of any place have "privileged" rights on their land. All others have freedom to live on the land with conditions. Constitution of Nigeria has never given anyone absolute right. The constitution gives relative rights.

In order words, it recognizes that conditions are not uniform as you go from one section of Nigeria to another. Therefore what is obtainable in East is not so in West. There are conditions and aspects of social norms which are standard and a default in West, but is foreign and strange in East. When an Easterner is present in West he is allowed to also live and enjoy in these peculiarities of social life in West RELATIVE TO building a better and more progressive and evolving society.

The constitution is thus paraphrased "We so so so people, IN ORDER TO BUILD A BETTER SOCIETY hereby commit ourselves...blah blah blah.....

If your living in West denies the rights of others for progressive existence, the constitution gives them a supreme right over you, and limits your privilege while you are physically present in West.

The indigenes of Lagos share a civilization that is common and binding with other Yoruba Kingdom-States. This is ancestral. This ancestry is exclusive. Therefore a Yoruba in Lagos, whether indigene of Lagos or indigene of Offa or Jebba or Lokoja by order of divine ancestral lineage are authorized by the constitution to exercise privileged living anywhere in Yorubaland. Similar authority exist for Emirates. The Emirate of Sokoto, Kano, Adamawa, Zaria, and much as this is not palatable...Ilorin included, have ancestry that are not same as Yoruba. They are who they are, and have exercise of privileged authority in their domains as far it stretches. Ibo kings have their own domain of authority and includes privileges that Hausa or Yoruba in Iboland cannot contest by virtue of Constitution.

So why do others understand this relationship and conform to upholding it but Ibo on other hand continues to pride itself as a spoiler of the Nigerian unity and harmony?

Leaders of the Nigerian nation need to truly review the question of "Ibo amongst us" and put it to rest. We need harmony in Nigeria, and Ibo has shown tome and again on numerous instances of nationhood that it is unwilling to coexist in harmony with anyone. Then divest them out of Nigeria so their burden does not stop generality of Nigerians from progressing and profiting from our partnering.

Contribute inputs.

Thesis ontop lies... lagos is for lagosian and only lagos indigene should be protected by their laws... an Ekiti man cant becoe a gov in osun state and an offa man cant become a senator in ogun state...dont add up what is not adding.. Im an indigene of Ilorin and shouldnt be dragging lagos with a lagosian because im yoruba.. mr man go back to your state and claim indigene or contest...

Politics / Re: Lagos No Man's Land Abolition Law: Law Of Reciprocity Is The Solution by beejaay: 9:02pm On Jun 07, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
Benefits of Law of Reciprocity

The benefits are too numerous and sustainable.

Jobs will be more abundant to the Yoruba natives at home and away from home.

This reciprocity policy will help provide jobs and social benefits to all Yoruba in other states especially if this policy of reciprocity is adopted by all the southwest states.

It will equally help draw mostly talents and less of lazy or criminal elements to the Southwest from the South East which in turn will help improve the economy of Yoruba states and Yoruba living outside SW, especially in Igboland.

The Yoruba need the jobs here at home too and those resident in Igboland should benefit from jobs in Igboland so that the same privileges the Igbo benefit here in Yorubaland their govts are giving with reciprocity to the Yoruba.

Our economy in SW will grow in leaps and bounds with the policy reciprocity.

The State Executive councils and state Houses of Assembly in the South West should formulate an effecrive strategy and laws to domesticate the policy of reciprocity in their states like they did with the Amotekun law.

A more radical variant of this pragmatic policy was adopted and implemented by the Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Ibrahim Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto-led Northern Nigeria government in the 1st republic . It was very effective to quickly help Northern Nigeria ramp up human capacity and infrastructural development before the Premier's life was terminated violently on January 15, 1966.

Conclusion

Yoruba should not cheat Igbo and Igbo should not cheat Yoruba. Enough of this politics of lies, hate and bigotry every 4 years.

Reciprocity is the way out.

Politics / Re: CAN Finally Responds To El-rufai's Anti-christian Statement by beejaay: 3:13pm On Jun 07, 2023
lhordspy:
Not making excuses for El'rufai but i it think most people are trying to blow this out of porportion. We should be mindful about how we heat up the polity just for cheap political sympathy.

As reported and in the video. El'rufai started by saying:
"No liar will ever come out to play christian politcs. And win election again. Peter Obi tried it, and you see where he is today' we have a medicine for that one. Since Asiwaju won election, CAN has been silent."

Without been hypocritical, i think everything he mentioned here is the truth and nothing more. BUT along the line, he started getting emotional, and deviate from the actual message. Which is wrong but understandable because of his long standing issue with the christian bodies in Kaduna.

El'rufa! making a statement that
" the only way there can be peace in kaduna is for muslim-muslim to continue ruling them"

- is wrong and condemnable. El'rufai is not an amateur politician, he should be able to keep his emotions intact. He should know there are words, religious statement that can cause uproar especially now that Obi's candidacy has succeeded in causing hate between Muslims and Christians everywhere in Nigeria. Elrufai picked his words out of anger. And he is wrong for it.

My advice is for people of Kaduna; the Christians especially in the southern-kaduna. They shouldnt allow the easterners keep meddling into their affairs all in the name of fighting for them. The Easterners are heating up the issues and creating more tensions with their interference. They are all over twitter, facebook carrying the matter ontop of their head. These people dont reside in kaduna, nor anywhere in the North. They are in faraway east or Lagos, heating up religious tension in kaduna state.

Like the CAN leader pointed out. The muslims and christians in kaduna, the north, Nigeria and the entire world are very much united.

you started by saying not to heat up the polity but your whole comment is centered on obi and christains and absorbing elrufai, now you see how devious and silly you sound.. your whole life here on nairaland is full of hypocrisy, hatred, division and religious sentiments..hatred has eaten up all your intestine

A CGPA of 4.00 in Chemical Engineering and Business Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, United States.

MC Oluomo might not be lettered, but since a tiger can never beget a pig or vice versa, this is an indication that he has an IQ far above average.

Someone used SSCE from miracle centre to secure admission into a university to study a very cheap course, yet ended up with 3rd class. That is the same clown some knucklehead are waiting for to come save their lives. angry

Nonsense rumors

Wait is it Gbajabiamila former Speaker the official Chief of Staff the man handling everything President Tinubu.. Seyi wants to give orders

Or

Gorge Akume SGF a former Governor

Or

First lady Remi Tinubu former Senator

Even the ADC is a Colonel

Vice President a Former Governor

Seyi is a very humble guy


The era of Mamman Daura the Nephew without Job..

Tunde the recharge card seller turn PA

Abba Kyari the COS

Is gone for good




.

Then it's a very good rumour showing that tinubu is in control (eventhough I'm not a fan of the man and hope he losses at the tribunal).. I hope Tinubu will have the ball to stand firm and don't allow anyone to hijack his govt and make him look weak like Buhari..

when you struggle to follow your dream and it didnt materialized, dont give up but instead transfer all your vision, wisdom and knowledge from your failure to your dream to your kids and nurture them to achieve theirs whatever it maybe.. most successful people come from a background of failed dream parents or partially dream success of their parents.. dont think because you failed then switch off on your trajectory and stopped your kids from exploring
