Although East was fastest due to oil boom from South south, South East wasn't the reason for the growth. if not why is economy of South East in comatose now.

is really sickening and tiring educating lads in this space but I will indulge u this once.
1If, its because of the oil boom, why is Nigeria's economy with all the oil booms in different periods especially the 70s still at comatose with Nigeria begging like alamajiri around the world since the end of regional governance
The premier then was M I Okpara and the regional government had semi autonomy to run its economy free from federal intervention if u know what that means.
Any other thing u need to know about the eastern economy of 50s and 60s, read that up because it is in the recent history books and everywhere

tungamaje:
OP, you just nailed it. But be assured you would receive attacks from those people. Hope you are ready

Do I even have their time, they are just kids with feeding bottles. Their elderly ones here are all quiet because they know the truth. We left politicians cajoling us for long and eastern politicians are the bigger problem only the Igbo masses don't get controlled by them

Guestlander:


China did not have a market economy in 1954-1964. Harvard reviews couldn't have compared China with the SE.

what do u know, a kid with feeding bottle in the mouth jumping into adult discussion

Between 1954 and 1964, Eastern economy was described as the fastest growing and industrializing economy in the world by Harvard reviews, faster than China, Singapore and Asian Tigers..

Political wisdom by Nigeria standard is about winning elections by whichever means and that's unfortunately is what kept Nigeria where she is today. Politicians and the elites are the only beneficiaries of the system living majority (95%) of Nigerians gasping for salvation.
Nigeria has the resources both human and natural that will transform the country to be one of the leading countries in the world but because of the shortcomings and limitations of the electoral process, bad leaders have continued to control the system of governance. The leadership has arrogated to themselves the power to recycle themselves in government that the masses barely have a say in how they are been governed. Politicians have usedthe instrument of religion and majorly ethnicity to perpetuate themselves in governance and the Nigerian masses have become the major tools in sustaining the unfortunate system.

Igbo people of the southeast have since 1993 had a different perspective when it comes to leadership. There voting pattern have continued to be about the best candidate. There collective votes go to the better or best candidate contesting. In 1993, Igbos massively voted Abiola who at that time believed to be the better candidate. Igbos again in 1999 massively voted Obasanjo and did again in 2003 against their very own Ojukwu who failed to get a reasonable votes even in his home state Anambra.
In 2007, Igbos massively voted for Yaradua and Jonathan in 2011 who respectively were the better candidates among those contesting. In 2015, Igbos again even with the shortcomings of the Jonathan's regime in the southeast he failed to cite any meaningful project still voted him because Igbos know a Jonathan's government would be better than Buhari's. Other regions shared their votes and Buhari emerged eventually and Nigeria was taken 100yrs back.

Now in 2023, Obi obviously remained the best candidate and Igbos again gave him their total votes but other regions ofcourse continued in their religious and ethnic considerations and sentiments.

If we can't follow the Igboman's selflessness and sacrifices, Nigerian masses will continue to live in hell in their own country.

These people have excelled in their various careers at the world stages ÷
Wole Soyinka
Anthony Joshua
Sade
Davido
Fela
Omos
Ayra Star and a host of others
Yorubas have also excelled in leadership and social activism -
Gani Fawehnmi, Fela, Fals, Pa Adebanjo, Osinbajo etc. We all witnessed the short period Osinbajo took over as acting president and within just three months Nigeria was on a real positive change but the forces truncating everything positive in Nigeria would never allow that and they are the same forces that made sure Tinubu with all his baggages emerged instead of an Osinbajo.
However, Yorubas even with all these excellence are still leaning more on tribalism which their politicians are influencing to continue their rape of the nation. Yoruba youths are atill back and forth on the need for national rebirth and sustaining the politicians will for Nigeria
Yoruba youths to me are the hope of this national rebirth which i believe Igbo youths have already queued into.

Putinofrussia:


lol
The Igbos have always bee the leeches because of laziness.
Yorubas have never depended on Nigeria but Nigeria depending on the SW.

Whe every region was given a level playing ground during regionalism,the SW was the richest and most developed just as it is today because they are hardworking and also smart workers.Igbos were trooping to Ibadan then just as they are doing to Lagos now.
SW even lent money to Nigeria including the lazy bones Igbos,twice.

I guess u re still in ur secondary school. Southwest economy fastest-growing? How foolish. So u ve not been schooled of Sam Mbakwe led eastern government and the economy if east the fastest-growing in the world?
Unfortunately quoting kindergattens

And this is what they ve been propagating through the media control.
Again Yorubas are the only region that are not self reliant. Other regions can survive autonomy except the southwest that have continued to leech on this unity. If not for the system, why would only Lagos be the only running seaports among other things they monopolize through the system.
The truth is Awolowo from the gains of the civil war grabbed Nigerian economic power for the yoruba elites while Fulanis grabbed the political power

APCNig:


I need to see your medical certificate of mental fitness because you don't sound mentally stable. Mind you, all South West governors, Ministers, Commissioners, e.t.c. v voted for Emilokan Tinubu except F9 Parallel Ademola Adeleke de Dancer of Osun. These categories of people are the ones buying your people at Libya and Italy Slave Market

that's how empty-headed morons sound, listing governors as voters Did they show u their ballots while voting. Why wont the same thieves Nigerians trying to wrestle power from vote for their CEO

Because when u follow the demography of the voters u will understand those that voted for Tinubu are mostly the illiterates, jobless, poor who are found in the poor neighbourhoods of the country. Tinubu failed in places like Lagos, Abuja because the voters there can't easily be bought with peanuts. He won in areas vote can be bought with as low as #500
Most of us here must have encountered one 2if the Tinubu supporters here begging online

As long as we keep recycling the same old leadership that keep sitting on the country's progress Nigeria can only get worse until we unavoidably break up.
Following Peter Obi's pre campaign tours there is no doubt a leader like that can turn the fortunes of this country to compete with the fastest developing countries of the world

Every Yoruba man in this space is a Lagosian

Abakaliki people accept who they are and live their lives free from pretensions. It is this pretention that holds millions down. An Abakaliki typical guy will never deny his origin because u have some myopic issue about where he comes from. In fact they don't even get mad, u re referencing them derogatorily but me and u can never accept where we come from.
Some one from Iragbiji will deny his root for Omo Eko

Isobug:

What do you mean by Abakaliki sperm? You use mouths to condemn your people when others start condemning them you will be shouting Igbos are better.
Meanwhile, I can count too many Abakaliki people that are more better than you in many aspects. Dey your one room de de condemn them.

It is no longer a surprise that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, emerged as the winner of the 2023 Presidential election with over eight million votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.



The announcement of his victory on February 25th has sparked reactions from various prominent individuals. The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, while offering prayers for the nation, encouraged Nigerians to accept Tinubu as their President if that is the choice of God.



He stated that the country needs to come together as one to address the division the election has created, adding that they will seek divine help to fix the country.

if Mbaka actually said that which i doubt then it's clear he is now self-serving.

* Proficiency in Nairaland's guidelines, rules, and community culture to maintain a positive and respectful atmosphere for political discourse.
* Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, for facilitating discussions, addressing user concerns, and upholding forum regulations.

If you know someone who would be an ideal candidate, or if you believe you are the right person for this role, kindly recommend and advocate for your choice.

Best regards.

I'd appreciate such responsibility because i will be fair and mindful of the responsibilities demanded of the position.

Even though I know they are in the minutest minority and that's why their principal failed woefully even in Lagos after so much manipulations. Those supporting other candidates like Sanwo Olu can even be considered but these set of people littered in social media attacking any one opposing Tinubu 's candidacy are terrinly so so sick. They shouldnt live among normal humans

KillSars:
Reason why I always call una dumbo...

Una reasoning dey always come from anus, who d fvck is datti, that a soyinka want to school him about democracy sef should be a plus to his life, the town crier got his ass flogged in his region, couldn't even help his yes daddy fraud out, yet hin dey disgrace hin lineage for tv, the werey should even be thankful that soyinka wan shape the little left of his political career for future sake, for the other one that is best in causing religious war, it's over for him... no way out..

I dont blame ur likes for the space given by social media because u don't deserve cohabitation with normal human beings. For u its about we against them rather than the sake of the nation and upholding of democratic principles.
Datti is nobody and Soyinka at his age and position is challenging him to a contest. Soyinka should be ashamed of himself

Imagine the Soyinka we all held to the very high esteem stooping so low challenging a small boy like Datti Baba Ahmed to a debate. Is this what old age have left this man with or the man is simply chasing clout and fame when we thought he cared.
Why would an old man like Soyinka begin to have issues with obidients who are majorly children and youths who are only seeking accountability and good governance.
Here he is in disgrace singing praises of tinuhu and wife how they helped him at the time majority of Nigerians are contesting the declaration of Tinubu in the just concluded presidential election . What is the target of an old man like Soyinka if not mischief.

These are part of the educated elites that feel unemployed and jobless youths are all lazy, layabouts

Just like Fasoranti, Soyinka has shown how mischievous a person he is even at his age.

Arrewa:


Observe this thread and you'll see how happy the children of hate are...

Nothing gives them pleasure like seeing disagreement or conflict among northern tribes!!

That's why they've been pushing the middle belt agenda to cause division in the north!!

Let's make this clear, there is no clash between Hausa and Fulani in sokoto and there will never be...

There's only clash between farmers and some herdsmen which happens occasionally...

And here, we have our own way of resolving and disescalting such conflict!

When Obedients say “Middle belt” they mean “Christian belt” but what they failed to realize is even in their so called “Christian belts” Muslims have the higher population!!

Niger is 75% Muslims with a Muslim governor Sani Bello

Kogi is 60% Muslims with yahya bello as the governor!

Kwara with 70%. Muslim population with Abdullarazak as their governor!!

Nasarwa is 65% Muslim population with Abdullahi sule as their governor!!

In the north central only plateau and Benue have Christian governors!!

With plateau having 50-50 both faith population while Benue is the only state in the north central with over 90% Christian population yet piter obi lost the state!!

The north remain the most united region in Nigeria with over 300 ethnic groups!!

Children of hate are already celebrating the war between Hausa and Fulani... Una go wait tire!!

These two tribes with time have intertwined into the most powerful Nation in Nigeria!!

I dare state u re Hausa and one of those recruited by the Fulanis to forever subjugate and subdue ur people.

All other organizations including Ohaneze are hugely influenced by the systemic rot.
Ohaneze's support for Peter Obi is just a decoy to be in the good books of the Igbo masses but they actually worked for Tinubu's emergence just like other Igbo political leaders.
Afenifere is the only worthy organization that has been interested in Nigeria's turn around. I remembered during the National Conference in 2014/2015, they were the only group that went there with the practical solutions to Nigeria's problems

Wole Soyinka is a world hero

But go the foreign lands to enjoy them

Just like Tinubu who claimed to be this or that or have done this or that as Lagos state governor but sadly no longer in his prime to maintain such professionalism or momentum so to say.
The recent Wole Soyinka interview where he berated Labour party vice presidential candidate of Labour party - Senator Baba Ahmed Datti and the Obidient family simply pointed to the very fact the Nobel laureate has really passed his prime and may limit his engagement with critical national issue.
He is undoubtedly one of the greatest heroes of our time and a real Omoluabi when one reminisces the Omoluabis who have stood tall in confrontation to deadly and dangerous administrations - the Felas, Fawenmis.

We need him forever regarded

nairalanda1:
You really should stop crying about this election

the elections showed Nigeria is headed to the precipice

Is there really anything holding this country up as a sovereign country among other countries of the world.
A country blessed with everything but always cap in hand begging for aids and helps around the world while the leadership continues to endlessly steal the country resources for themselves and even for termites to feast on
