I agree on Ukraine 💯 but disagree on Israel vs Palestine. The question is what will you have Israel do? Watch Hamas regroup?
I watched a debate from the UK parliament tonight, where even those antagonizing Israel agree that there can't be a future of Palestine with Hamas in it! So how do you implement that?
Everyday we see proof of Hamas utilizing vast resources in using civilians as human shield....instead of physically confronting Israel. Yet israel'ld quit and wait for the next attack?

It is undemocratic and doesn't make any sense. That's consistent with PO, as he hates competition. He loves to be handed things.
It is senseless because PO avoided the convention coz "Abure didn't consult widely". I therefore will be shocked for him to (accept to) be beneficiary of the decision of a convention he doesn't believe.
You think say una wise?

Strange. Bello mentioned in his interview that Una Sani is his mentor just last month. Bashir is out for the neck of the governor. Whats happening in Kaduna?

Beautiful

So mention the names and location of those who prevented you from your kingdom. That's all haba!

If my father was a king in that community and I was in charge of this military operations, I will arrest him! Not just southern king.
You see, I see the delta incident differently and I think BAT is being too relaxed about it! It is time you made a statement (and I think it's even too late). Make politicians know that, anything that challenges Nigerian sovereignty is off limit! That was an affront!
You can be mad in your conclave. But when it comes to touching military,police,customs, governors, president and representatives of the people, that's off limit! That message must sink!
Evidently some politicians are protecting the culprits. So all Kings ,chiefs and LG chairmen around this community should be held until culprits are found.

What are the economic viabilities of the states in the Northwest; a region that has 7 states?

I stated earlier. Mistakes of the past (military decrees premised on primordial sentiments) should not be repeated. That's why we are better enlightened. We should have more productive units of a federation.

Your kinsman did not become president; So the world should crash? Go and rest guys and prepare for 2027! All these senseless logics only expose your ineptitude.

Penguin2:

I like the factors you enunciated and I can say that those have majorly been the determinant for state creation in Nigeria with the examples of the states I already cited above.

But just to correct a false submission you, Ebonyi has no high population of Muslims; not at all.

There’s a community of Muslims in Afikpo but they don’t make up 5% of Ebonyi population if I’m being generous. But if I want to be harsh, I can tell you authoritatively that they don’t even constitute 1% of Ebonyi population.

So, how did you arrive at that erroneous assertion that “Ebonyi has high population of Muslims?”

Like I stated in the body of the thread, the major reason Ebonyi State was created is because people from other part of Igbos used to, mostly, look down on Ebonyi people who they used to address, derogatorily, as “ndi Abakaliki”. It was difficult for the Abakaliki man to get appointments in the Old Anambra or Enugu States. As they were neglected in appointments, so also were infrastructural developments in their part of the state neglected as well.

All this was because they were considered timid, uneducated, unexposed, crude and everything negative. Some Non-Ebonyi Igbos still harbour these sentiments about ‘Ndi Abakaliki’ but it’s not as strong as it was in the 1990s.

So, the above was the compelling argument that led to the creation of Ebonyi State and not that “high Muslim population” erroneous submission.

Meanwhile, just like the Ebonyi argument was compelling, so also is the argument for the creation of a 6th state for the region equally compelling because of the need to balance in visible imbalance in the way Nigeria is presently structured that is making us lose out both in revenue sharing and in political arrangements.

Again, these are all emotions. What do you then say of gbagyi people of southern Kaduna, okeogun people of Oyo, Esan people of Edo, Ebira of Kogi....
I do not support additional state creation in SE or any region. As we speak only 3 states of SE "can display potential" to subsist without federal allocation. None can subsist currently! This craze for dissociation should slow. Show us your proof of economic viability before you ask for state creation.

Mistakes of the past should not be repeated. I'll say state creation should be based on a mix of land mass, population and contribution to national economy (wether GDP or IGR); All of these speak to the potential economic viability of the state! We should have states that can subsist without dependency on federation account.
If based on emotions (perceived social ills), we will have countless states in this federation; and rightly so!

Good one. Oyo must grow

A private citizen took another to court. What's the problem? Nobody should turn SM to court. He knows what he said and can stand for it. That's all. It's in this country that a serving senator was convicted of assault on a normal citizen; that several governors got their mandate back; that Sowore, Igboho.... won the federal government in court.
No room for beer parlor gists/conjectures. Facts please.

Everybody should be responsible for their actions and consequences of their actions. Don't go on SM with senseless argument, whether e pain or e no pain. Go and defend yourself in court!

Just emulate Lagos in the distribution to people. Don't give all free of charge. Discount the price and dont sell in bulk.goal is to bring prices down, so disposable income can afford and not to distort the market.

We await the rebuttal of "they took our bank association"

Just release your list...later your sympathisers will say that we should seek political solution to release you!

First in Africa! Yet some will say Yorubas choose poor leaders. How!

press9jatv:
already cottage of industries have already been sighted in Ibadan already. Almost all the lands along Lagos-Ibadan expressway have been flocked with series of industries. Lagos alone have 3 seaports and they are much functioning generating revenues to Lagos State. But in Ibadan, Oyo State, no seaport at all. It’s only dry port in Akinyele LG

Cool. Seaport isn't the only driver of GDP& or revenue. Ogun and Kaduna have proven that sufficiently.
For me,Oyo and Ondo are southwest states still underperforming their potential wrt resources available.

Good. I'm begging my Oyo people. It is time to vote technocrat with high sense of industry in the next election. Makinde and Ajimobi tried for infrastructure. Let's move to the next phase; liberate the commerce of the state! It's long overdue. Ogun is leaving Oyo behind in terms of commerce!

mohbadliveson:
Sowore is now free
Igboho is now free
Free the poor guy and let him go meet his wife

Did Sowore and Igboho instruct anyone to kill Soldiers? We shout Justice and Equity on one hand and tolerate injustice on the other. How can we ask commander in Chief, whose officers were killed on the instruction of one man to politically forget the death of his officers. That's injustice to the CinC and the family of the soldiers!

Take all the local chiefs, kings and LG chairman away. They'll produce the assailants. You are on monthly subvention to prevent a situation like this if you were a king!

kettykin:


If soldiers can't defend themselves,they should remain in barracks what type of mindset is this . Soldiers are supposed to be capable of defending the country now they are victims.

Who is this? You are blaming the soldiers for being killed by the people they swore to protect? It is even incomprehensible that citizens will open fire against soldiers! I don't get.

Very simple. Pick up the community leaders and dethrone irrevocably all Kings and chiefs plus LGA chairmen. Hold them until all the boys are picked. They know them!
For me, no justification or rationalisation for killing military men!

Ofunaofu:


I ask again, is this sustainable

I don't think it is meant to be sustained. The goal is to bring down price level. Prices were arbitrarily hiked because of fx panic. Also for the big time players, export became more attractive than supply to local market.
Goal is to push back on price level on staple food while ramping up production.
So it's a band aid.

Trouble sleep Yanga go wake am! Some people get liver sha.

You finished with a laugh and one will think you were not born when Jonathan took over.

Now let me school you.

Yaradua didn't finish his first tenor. Within the time he was in the hospital. That was when the economy went that bad because it was a looting time.

The was no government, everyone was doing as they like.

I spoke to the fact of the thread not the stories behind it. Good luck!

From your write-up Yar'Adua is actually the worst then Buhari in terms of managing the price level. so I don't see party problem here but a northern problem. 😂

Aww. True. We love Senator Kalu...but he must be retried, convicted and jailed for his fleece in Abia State. It's all for the love of the citizen and motherland.
Don't worry karma will catch up with betrayers.

Small yansh sef dey shake

Beautifulday:


So you expect him to tell you they padded the budget after suspending the senator?

Let them tell us how much each got no be we got above 200 million. We wan calculate am it it equals the 3.5 trillion padded.

Pay attention to what that guy is saying. Or watch the video. Budgetary allocation is different from paid. It's a silly argument indeed!

Nice and intelligent write up op. Message clear. On a lighter note, Avg life span of the jungle king is 15yrs while his subjects are longer...so learn to take it easy too unlike the king.

I understand you. But can Chioma stop people from reacting? She can't control what others do.

Hmm. You have a point. It's just a disturbing trend. In the west, they probably have more brutal reviews than I see in Nigeria. And in few cases companies take it up while in majority of cases companies quickly douse the situation...You read the subsequent cases in news.... BUT i have never seen let's boycott that product/company...
