Politics › Re: South West Development Commission Bill Causes Uproar At The Senate by budaatum: 9:15pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
emkz: Eventually, Nigeria shall develop along regional lines. Where one region currently contributes the bulk of government earnings is meaningless in the long run and ballooning population.
Niger-Delta sells oil which proceeds can be used to buy food from the North and North-Central. The South-West is the gateway of foreign goods influx into the country = taxes and levies/duties on imports. Not to forget cocoa which can be exported to Belgium and Switzerland. Boasting of a sizeable population, people can also be taxed to raise revenue. The South-East shall be the manufacturing hub and commercial nerve of a regionalized Nigeria. Each region federates itself, have its own police, enforces its own laws and even conduct its own elections. We scrap the Senate and have three representatives from each region to meet twice a month to legislate on matters of common interests. Each region contributes 32% to a central government to oversee immigration matters, customs, national police, regional regulation, Supreme Court, army, national infrastructure, common examinations, currency and stock market.
That way, development is closer to the people. As it is now, I don't know my LG chairman, or state and federal representative. But Fulani herdsmen rioting is Buhari's fault, whereas the governor should be held responsible. PS: Regional heads chosen by the people elect one of themselves or a neutral person as Chairman who oversees the country (and represent us in international meetings) with the regional heads as vice-chairmen overseeing the regions. Regions can have 1000 members in their regional assemblies, it is their business so long as they can pay them. We need a lean center. Nigeria is too big and heterogeneous to be centrally managed or policed. In a democracy that's undemocratic. |

bmdmixer: all u just talking bout is food on ur table go out n find food food pray for food.
its well we already know ur kind. And the security to produce it! How I wish those clamouring for amotekun could have used their heads instead of prayers. A simple ban on cattle roaming, an insistence on ranching, and a tax on cattle heads would solve a lot of the insecurity. But instead, we expect our prayers to be answered by a God who has already placed a brain that we chose to refuse to use inside our heads. |

Kopfschmerzenmd: None of the Southern states will vote for Biden in the generals and he's even weaker than Hillary. The establishment never learn nada from 16. Maybe they just don't dislike Trump more than 'socialism'. It is more or less communism to most Americans, and they sure detest that more than Covid19. |

Born2Freak: Why are African Americans the most religious race in America?
Why are whites less religious?
Why are intelligent people less religious?
Simple questions, controversial answers Don't know if black-americans are most religious. Just think blacks shout in public more about their religiosity than others. And I don't agree intelligent people are less religious as I've come across as many irreligious ignorons as I have of the religious sort. We might be considering different facts though with your's being more accurate than mine. |

YerYer: Mehn the airline stocks are selling off right now. Google has halted all international travel for all their employees. Ford motors also halted travel for their employees. This is similar to what happened after the terrorist attacks on september 11th 2001 but after the bottom, the airline stocks had a V shape rally of 50%. Today we found out that Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway increased it's stake in Delta Airlines. I will be watching the airline stocks but mostly as they continue to fall as more news about travel restrictions from corporate america come to light. I like Southwest Airline (LUV). DOW swung 1500 points today, the bottom is usually very volatile. I believe airlines still have much further to fall, being they are a huge vector in Covid19 spread. Expect a rout in 2nd and third quarters when disappointing summer travel data is released, and airline bailouts before then. https://wolfstreet.com/2020/03/02/just-how-bad-is-it-going-to-get-for-us-airlines/

Born2Freak: This is not about socialism. African Americans are the most religious race in America. They are also the people most likely to vote against their interests.
Why would you vote for a bumbling senile slowpoke called Biden who has done nothing for the black community?
Sanders who has fought for civil rights fir black people and is still fighting against inequalities that majorly affect black people indirectly, is now ignored by blacks.
Accept it. Being very religious, especially in a secular country is a big sign of stupidity. Its lazy to fob this off on religion, though it does suppose a 'do as you are preached to' attitude, as opposed to a 'do your own research' one which is rare or specifically ordered to justify already held beliefs, views and opinions amongst the religious. I laugh at your "secular country", however. It's like claiming America has no socialism when it actually has tons. |

Born2Freak: The main factor is that the Democrats are all ganging up against him. How can he fight four people?
Buttygieg aka bootyman, Klobuchar, Beto O'Rourke all support Biden. That is 3 people plus biden.
it is like they want 4 more years of Trump. I have said it. Bernie or bust. If Bernie doesnt win the nomination, na Trump I go support last last. Maybe democrats need 4 more years to suffer before getting sense. Biden can not beat Trump. Trump would in fact reduce him to a dithering fool and the only votes he'd get would be sympathy. Don't know if Sanders could win either, but he does at least present an alternative, and can stand up to Trump. |

The reason why we say all he wants his to not see any Billionaire and make america like Venezuela and the likes..
QED! Don't be fooled. They are politicians. And it's becoming obvious that Bloomberg's contribution is his money. Sanders is talking to Mike. And anyone who believes they want to take everyone's money should ask if that includes their own. |

TV/Movies › Netflix's First Nigerian Original—Here's What We Know About It So Far by budaatum(op): 9:39pm On Mar 03, 2020*. Modified: 9:58pm On Mar 03, 2020 |
Last week, streaming giant Netflix, announced that it would be expanding its presence in Nigeria's creative scene with the newly launched Netflix Naija.
News around the release of an upcoming Nigerian original also surfaced. Now, more details around Netlfix's first-ever Nigerian original, which is currently unnamed, have emerged.
The show, currently being referred to as the "Akin Omotoso Project," after its director and writer, is a six-part series "Set in modern-day Nigeria and shot in Lagos," according to a press release. Omotoso, who is also an actor, has directed several films and also starred in 2017's Catching Feelings. "This drama tells the story of Kemi, a goddess reincarnated as a human to avenge her sister's death. But first, she must learn how to use and harness her super powers to defeat her enemies and save her family from destruction."
The show is being directed alongside fellow Nigerian filmmakers Daniel Oriahi and CJ Obasi. It boasts an extensive cast of Nollywood stars, including Kate Henshaw and Ade Laoye. As well as Richard Mofe Damijo, Joke Silva, Fabian Adeoye Lojede, Kehinde Bankole, Ayoola Ayolola, Toyin Oshinaike, Goodness Emmanuel, Ireti Doyle, Fabian Adeoye Lojede, Bimbo Akintola, Tope Tedela and Ijeoma Grace Agu. A premiere date is yet to be announced.
Netflix acquired several Nigerian films throughout last year, including Merry Men, The Real Yoruba Demons, The Wedding Party 2, and King of Boys to name a few. In 2018 it picked up Genevieve Nnaji's directorial debut Lionheart.

They just won't call it 'socialism for the already wealthy', of course, and the masses will all cheer. I must have spoken too late! https://www.nairaland.com/5714251/finikis#87141630I'm certain we need not wait long for tax cuts. There's surely nothing to see here!
