budaatum:
This is not true sir.

buda is not fighting anyone's ideologies. buda is asking you and everyone else to fight your own ideologies by yourselves.



Oftentimes, one must teach people so they may learn.

budaatum:
First know that I am not the only one wishing my choice is the president of Nigeria, and so do not expect my wish to always win at every election.

One great Igbo Man wrote this book every Nigerian should read. In it he says "the hunter has learnt to shoot without missing, so the bird must learn to fly without perching", instead of giving you like you suggest and having no choice.

I should learn to fly better if my democracy is hunting me, basically, since I should actually be the one making sure votes count, and the one who suffers if I don't.


You will need to "shed more light on this", because most don't need light shed to know a person with 2 votes out of four has a majority if one of sat on their lazy ass and refused to vote.


You must live in a universe where Nigerian people are given the sort of choice you suggest. I live in the alternate universe where Nigerians are not directly given that choice. They may of course elect Reps and Senators who promise to give them that choice so they have it, but I myself have not yet come across a candidate who won a Nigerian election running on a mandate to divide Nigeria. Do tell me if you have.


People are "never being given the option of full choice to decide what they want" anywhere in the world ever, Brendaniel. There's always been a king or an emperor or a god or a government who decides what you should have or not.

But that said, we have democracy, which is a referendum, at least on who rules us, and we ought to be using it don't you think, instead of some people telling some people to boycott elections, which is the same as telling them not to use their own powers to choose.



The UN also emphasizes the preservation of the territorial integrity of member states, you forget to add!



Just stop already please! You are sounding like a person we cooked a whole cow for but can not even finish a leg.

We had an opportunity to "enjoy democracy in its fullness" at the last election. Almost 100 million Nigerians were registered to vote in this "current system of democracy Nigeria is currently practicing" but less than 30m Nigerians actually went out on poll day to "enjoy democracy in its fullness" that we were not given but fought for but refused to use and that the President Tinubu won by less than a mere 10% of registered voters.

When we fully enjoy the democracy that we already have to its fullness so like at least 50% (I'd rather 90%, note) of registered voters enjoy the current democracy we have and vote, then yes, change the system to referendocracy. I will support you.



I don't believe that people are given anything by those who lead them, Brendaniel. I understand that every thing a people have gotten from their rulers is what they fought for, often with their blood too. So, I should learn to impose my will better if the rulers suppress my will, Brendaniel, and I do that by promoting to everyone they vote. It is in fact my sole mission leading up to the 2027 Elections to support democracy in Nigeria by advocating you vote.

I live in the alternate universe where Nigerians are not directly given that choice.

You will need to "shed more light on this", because most don't need light shed to know a person with 2 votes out of four has a majority if one of sat on their lazy ass and refused to vote.

LoveThemChubby:
Tell your brothers in the east to stop pushing powder and the desperate Nigerians to stop overstaying their visas, later claiming asylum. This has nothing to do with the president, FG or politicians for that matter.

simpleseyi:
.
And the have it, how long would you keep crying?

budaatum:
I think you don't understand how democracy works, so let me.

People say they want to contest to be leader. People vote for the one they want and the one with the most votes wins.

Last election I chose Obi. Majority chose Tinubu, so the Obi that I chose lost. I still chose Obi.


Good luck with that.


No one is giving anyone a referendum on whether they are Nigerian or not, so maybe it's not president buda we need, we need president Brendaniel instead.



Brendaniel, we are a constitutional federal representative republic, a system whereby citizens elect officials to make decisions and create laws on their behalf, rather than voting on laws directly.

We do not practice referendum democracy, yet.

budaatum:
My choice? Like the last election when my choice was Obidient?

Answer is none. Unless you count my acceptance of Buhari whom I knew will make Nigerians suffer so we open our eyes small.

But you are aware that it's not buda alone who selects the president with my one vote in democratic Nigeria, right? So why my choice when democracy means, everyone's choice?


I can assure you that both will fail in my lifetime. You will live long after buda and Nigeria will not be divided or destroyed even long after you are gone.

Burob:
E lucky say hand no touch am seriously, Agulu Fraudster.

Mr cho cho cho notice me.

Burob:
U dey ask me? No be oga talk say he was attacked in Benin City?

Burob:
He was warned, & since cho cho cho Mr I know too much done do wetin e want in Edo state without clearance, make e no complain.

mascot87:
Who cares what you think

SixSeven:
It was stopped by the assembly. Ambode met Fashola who was already thinking recycling to power, he took it back to ground zero. Again, the waste management system is clear evidence that there was no masterplan whatsoever.

budaatum:
Please be aware that I already know that my reasoning is very far different from that of most Nigerians, period.

If I to adorm my arrogant pant and jacket I would say I am the most unique Nigerian there is, but it would be a lie because every Nigerian is their most unique self.

budaatum:
Please know that I am anti-military rule because I prefer to rule myself and change my ruler every 4 years if the ruler rules bad.

Also note that my ideas have not been tried by anyone, least no atheist Nigerian president has gone to do Ramadan in Sambisa Forest, yet what they did achieved a lot, and my idea might achieve something too.

In fact, it has already achieved quite a lot already just by my writing it I assure you, but will wait till you see it yourself.

You just know that those who wish to destroy my country Nigeria would never see progress made.

Orokojasper:
At least he picked one and jailed him....he is in Sokoto as we speak.

Burob:
It is for Gringory Obi’s safety o, so that security could be attached to him, he has entered Benin City, remaining small dey for hammer em bald head.

SixSeven:
He too wasn't clean. Let's ask ourselves, how come it was working to a reasonable extent under Fashola and it stopped under Ambode. Ambode stopped a working process to bring in a firm to come do IT in Nigeria. A huge problem of our leaders is selfishness. They don't understand the call to serve, they just want to be able to chop in contracts. That contract was a disaster, so Ambode eventually worsened the problem. There is something called change management. Our leaders act like dem no go school.

oneMalik:
Deh no get choice.

Who wan follow who no know road before??

Tinubu no be dem papa mate i swear.... even dem Atiku and co know this .

Burob:
Didn’t the governor warn him to seek permission first b4 he enters Edo State, abi u think the governor doesn’t have security report on Gringory Obi’s safety in his state?

After doing nonsense in Abuja over the weekend, he has swiftly moved to Benin to cause more confusion.

Burob:
He was very lucky they did not catch him.

mascot87:
Dey deceive una selves. If you like, keep staging attacks on yourselves to get sympathy, Tinubu will still win una hands down. You can increase the frequency of self attacks but it will change nothing in 2027.
If you think your contents will make people vote for the agalu fraud, jokers!!!.
And keep pointing fingers at Tinubu for your self incurred attacks, he no dey pass social media here. Tinubu till 2031 so brace up for a long ranting period

richeeyo:
Nigerians are still the most traveled people in all of Africa, they beat all odds despite the power of the passport been low
The Nigerian Spirit is Not Low

Richtaiwo:
Now watch the very same criminals who played starring roles in dragging the Nigerian passport down the global ladder suddenly break into an Olympic sprint, to blame absolutely everyone else except the faces they see in the mirror.

budaatum:
Sir, our lifestyle and politics and religion and culture and education etc in each region are not things in our dna that we are born with and can not change, but are precisely and exactly a product of what we are fed and taught in each region.

It's kind of like a software installed in people in each region is different, and is predominantly Catholicism in the Igbos, Protestantism in the Yorubas and Islam in the Hausas, with crossovers of course since not all in any tribe adopted all what they were fed.

vaxx is my resident expert on tabula rasa, and there's lots of refs on Nairaland, so please research.



First, I do not believe the Almajiri system is wrong. I have studied its implementation and I have seen the results, and I know it does not produce what will positively impact a person's life nor move a nation forward and there are better education systems, and I can very easily provide evidence so that enough people abandon almanjeri and go to school.

I will bribe students with lunch, note.



This is why the president budaatum of Nigeria is starting by changing your installed software (of belief) by reforming the education system of Nigeria so that you may use your own eyes to ask and knock and seek for yourself and understand what you see like buda does, instead of mere believing what you are told to.

My new education syllabus will teach people to reason like me not to believe whatever you are told, but to use your own brain to find answers to what, why, who, when why, how. The intention is to inculcate a new culture in everyone, that they should not be ignorant believing enslaved made from mud and afraid of knowledge almanjeri Adams, but become powerful asking and knocking aad seeking and feeding daily on fruits of trees of knowledge to rule and subdue and multiply blessed images of God.

I'm not describing some magic wand I wave and the lights turn on and almanjeri is abandoned by all Brendaniel, and yes, I do expect opposition and resistance especially when I set up camp for a week in Ramadan in the middle of Sambesi Forest. Don't you worry about my safety. The entire Nigerian Army will be there to protect me and I will screen me live on youtube for Nigerians to look at me there.

If I start with nursery one students (only because it would be as hard as forcing a camel through the eye of your needle to make you abandon your current ideology and consider this new understanding and ideology), I would likely get some before their minds are polluted with the beliefs and ideologies and cultures and religions and politics in their regions. And I have the feeling I can make a generation have a culture that knows we are our own gods. I mean. Just look at you Brendaniel, calling my ideas good already.

But, Brendaniel, I think you underestimate your own powers and abilities. It may seem small, but you made me order the belows. Call them bullets in the gun that will kill the ignorance of almanjeri in Nigeria. I very much appreciate you adding them to my ammo.

budaatum:
No I wouldn't accept it. Most Northerners don't accept it neither. Even many Muslim Iranians are not accepting it, so why would atheist I accept the type of sharia that some are imposing on the North?

But why are we even considering this? Do you think only buda will be yelling "We no go gree! Ali must go!" on the streets of Nigeria when someone tries to replace their Yahweh Jesus Christ with Allah Mohammed or do you just lack faith in us and in yourself!?

budaatum:
I am not a Muslim so it wouldn't apply to me. Most Muslims in the south wouldn't accept it neither, though a limited form of Sharia exists in the South for those who accepted it.

Sharia takes many forms, so you'd need to be more specific about the aspect of Sharia being introduced, because I doubt most places would accept the cutting off of a petty thief's hand, though I wouldn't mind cutting off the hand of a politician who stole millions.
