God gives everyone of us opportunities to lead either as an elder brother, a team leader, a father, a head of department, head of centers, directors, chairman, governor, senator or even president.

Honestly the Honorable impressed me.

I was full of admiration for the man and President Buhari when I used the Abuja - Kaduna train. Particularly loved the extra chilling a/c, USB charging ports, laptop tables and smartly dressed cabin crew. The beautiful station is just the icing on the cake.

If we were progressing at this pace since 1999 we would be launching bullet trains by now, but we are getting there.

God bless Nigeria.

First, its my country. Second is our immense potential especially after the youths educate themselves, which I see them doing here at Nairaland University. We will after all one day get rid of the old guard or they will just die a natural death and and then those youth will be in charge of turning Nigeria into what they want it to become, and by 2050, if not long before, or by 2100 by the latest, Nigeria will be the new world power and I am proud in advance for what I see we have the capability to achieve.

Not having such faith and hope in Nigeria is like saying I, buda, a Nigerian, is too useless to fulfil my potential which will be a blatant lie considering how much effort I daily put in to educating myself to be sufficiently competent to fulfil my potential. And I can see that I am not the only one who understands that our country Nigeria is whatever we Nigerians make of it, be it bad or the good powerful nation we can all be proud of.

For the short answer please see below.

QuotaSystem:
Same here bro.

Nigeria is making VISIBLE progress.

Kudos to President Buhari and Rotimi Amaechi.

buckeyemedia:
Lagos Colony, EKo Nigeria, is not Yoruba property, go & do your research properly, Lagos is not a Yoruba word, neither in history did Oduduwa or the Oyo Empire reach or conquer Lagos, The Omo Oba of Benin would have sent them to an early grave for trespassing on his Empire stretching from Benin Town to Porto Novo. Lagos Colony got its independence in 1861, was amalgamated with Southern Nigeria in 1906 by Lord Frederick Lugard, Lagos State is the Property of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, you can pack your imaginary Oduduwa & go back to the forest of Oyo & Ile-Ife. Nonsense & Ingredients.

pyyxxaro:
Pls Permit to blame Buhari and Desmond Elliot for this
I said Please oh

shadeyinka:
Wherever I'm given the opportunity to lead, my objective is to attain the collective total prosperity of those under my watch.

sophxx:
What you failed to notice is that Nigerians are what they are today because Nigeria made them so.

shadeyinka:
Out of the citizens come a tiny few privileged to lead:

shadeyinka:
Please try and cool yourself off.
Shalom!

shadeyinka:
If only you get the leadership right, the citizens will follow suit.

shadeyinka:
Okay!
I hope you can cool off with time Bro!
I've asked you to verify: it's not to much to ask.
I can't impose my will or conclusions on you. I can only ask you to verify your position as I did mine.

We can close this as I don't want you worked up over a discussion we had a long time ago now affecting this!

Peace!

Lol Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton were part of this committee, you just don't pay attention, if Republicans are serious and want to prove November elections were rigged believe mr they know what to do, they just rather spread conspiracy theories, democrats investigated and even had Trump's associates jailed

shadeyinka:
You don't have to believe me.

shadeyinka:
The Hausa's don't see it as being dominated by the Fulani. They have accepted it as the will of Allah for it to be like that.

DissTroy:
Man, don't play smart with semantics. "Russian Collusion". Rings a bell? Suddenly forgotten the trial and witchhunting of Trump and his associates based on a false claim that they colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election? Suddenly forgotten the treasonable crimes the Left tagged on them?

Selective amnesia? How convenient.

DissTroy:
Maybe, maybe not.

The ironic hypocrisy of the situation is, for 4 years, the Left perpetuated the falsehood that the election was rigged by Trump....

shadeyinka:
Buda is bitter! Why?

raker300:
The Western media is focused on the struggle between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, with searing images of the humanitarian disaster that is unfolding. Yet the magnitude is tiny compared to the humanitarian crisis in northern Nigeria. Total confirmed deaths number 239 in the current round of fighting between Hamas and the Israelis. In comparison, there have been at least 755 deaths since January 1, 2021 in northeastern Borno State, the epicenter of the Boko Haram insurgency; in northeastern Nigeria alone, over 2.9 million are internally displaced. In northwestern Kaduna and Zamfara states, both heavily afflicted by armed banditry, cumulative deaths since the turn of the year are at least 705. (Many more have been kidnapped.) Reporting from northern Nigeria is difficult, and thus casualty figures are likely an undercount. Now, the World Food Program is sounding the alarm over the looming prospect of famine. Already, a large majority of Nigerians (86 percent) lack access to a safely managed source of potable water.

In northeastern Nigeria, food and other relief is provided almost entirely by UN agencies and some 150 Nigerian and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Yet their personnel are under attack from Boko Haram and other jihadi organizations who accuse aid workers of, among other things, "Christianizing" the indigenous Muslim population. The other bookend of humanitarian frustration is that relief workers credibly complain that their efforts are too often thwarted by the army and the police in the name of "security." At least some security operatives complain that humanitarian relief reaches jihadis.

Why does the ongoing tragedy in northern Nigeria—and indeed much of the rest of the Sahel—attract so little attention in the developed world? Part of the answer is that the Sahel and northern Nigeria are far away. Few Americans have a personal link to it, unlike the large number that are invested in Israel and Palestine in one way or another. Many, perhaps most, Americans are convinced that what happens in Israel and Palestine directly affects U.S. interests. Further, issues in the conflict in northern Nigeria and the Sahel, in many ways a civil war within Islam, are obscure to twenty-first-century Americans. Popular media coverage is also limited: for a long time, media access to the war zone has been inhibited both by jihadis and the security services. "Compassion fatigue" in the aftermath of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria also plays a role.

Whatever the reasons, the bottom line is that the ongoing tragedy in the Sahel and northern Nigeria merits more humanitarian attention from the United States than it receives.

If we don't become better citizens, we won't produce better leaders because they will keep emerging from us.

Only then can we have the Nigeria of our dream.

shadeyinka:
Have you ever lived in the North?
Do you by any chance know Hausa people?
Have you interviewed a few of them to find out their disposition to Fulani dominance?

Even if you wouldn't answer the above, can you please try to answer the question below:
How many prominent Hausa people in Nigerian do you know from independence till now?
Why do you think this is so in spite that the Hausa's are at least 70% of the population of the Hausa-Fulani "symbiosis"?

basilico:
He gets to remain the president without anyone claiming he rigged. Dems also probably keep the senate seat and retain their senate majority.

shadeyinka:
[s]Unfortunately, it seems the Hausa's are okay with Fulani dominance of their entire life. I've spoken to a few core Hausa's and they see nothing wrong with their backwardness relative to their Fulani conquerors[/s]

basilico:
A straight question. What if the forensic audit proves Joe did not win Arizona?

Hashabiah:
You're entitled to your myopic opinions as usual. But deep down, you and I both know you're just another mofo gracing this thread with a brand new form of stupidity

I can attest that the above statement can only be made by an unintelligent person.
