One problem with Nigerians is leaving every dam responsibility to the government.....

We can't grow dat way, we all have a collective responsibility, government do not make people orderly dat comes by Home training

U can a see people driving car worth 20million lives in a mansion worth hundreds of million but dat same person can't sandfill d road that leads to his house if it is not motorable

Wen Nigerians start taking responsibility, and also not minding what village people will do to them we will have a much better environment

bro, for coke i disagree with you.. That is a multi national company.. The same formula is used in the production process.. Perhaps you bought a different coca cola flavor or na diet coke you buy...

before mobile phone (gsm) came to nigeria, it was in ghana already.. Ghana started Electronic data capturing of foreigners, my country nigeria recently started.. The day I left ghana, I exited electronically(my passport was placed in a device).. At aflao border... Coming to nigeria( seme border), I was manually registered (I can understand as a Nigerian) but A white foreigner with nigerian resident permit was registered manually.. Note: ofcourse, this technology is in airports.. ATM, ghana started... Mobile banking , ghana started.. Prepaid and digital postpaid meter, during the time ghana went electronical in goods clearing, my brother in customs were using manuals.. But I am open to a debate where you think we started..

There is what I do tell my gh friends, it is not by starting first but how you finish...

If you look at IT, banking, ghana started 1st but today nigeria is ahead.. This is where I respect Nigeria

Nigeria suffered lots of set backs due to military rule. Unlike ghana they were d pioneers of democracy which brought change.. There was new implementation, new technology, lots of try and errors...

The issue here is that Ijaws just came to fish on Benin land but now claim they've always lived there. It's no different from Igbos trading at New Bini market claiming it's their ancient land or minority in Edo.

20. There's a church beside the hotel i stayed, on sunday while they were having there church service, i didn't hear a thing, i just saw people gushing out at the end of the service.

21. And social life is top notch, as they play life performance more that they use DJ's, you'd see a family go up to the stage to dance their sorrow away around 1am.

22. There's always light and water, so its safe to walk around even at night.


Summarily, my opinion is that Ghana is generally a better place than Nigeria , The People are friendlier and it much safer to move around even at the local markets. The crime rate is better .Nigeria could have been easy as well but owing to its population and fierce competition.
You may notice even foreigners taking public transport in Ghana but that would be difficult in Nigeria.

When it comes to cost of living there is no big difference and one positive thing in Ghana it easy to save money by going local i.e Local foods,Local markets etc.

Now to the second hotel where i lodged, eclipse hotel, cheap and quite accessible. The driver took my bag upstairs with the door to his matrix opened. That gives you a sense of safety.

13. When you start comparing the cost of there stuffs with an handicapped Naira, then you might not even be spending a kobo, you'll think those stuffs are expensive, not knowing that its due to a watery Naira. Coke goes for 2 or 3 cedis, which is like 222-333 naira, same as bottle water. So don't even compare.

But the coke tastes different and thicker.

14. Good Food, they sell jollof rice at every street corner, with nicely carved food shops just accessible. 2cedis, 4 cedis. Then, Ghana is a home of chicken, as they sell it alot likewise. And the nice thing is that almost at every spot, they microwave your food before serving you.

15. Mr Wale enjoying a nice meal of fried rice.

16. Bought this wanche with shittor for about 3cedis i think, here's a very cheap meal though. Really wanted to have a taste, and it was a nice mix of rice and beans.

These Benin people got no chill at all! Ha, just because of that small drama Ijaw people perform? What did you now want the Yorubas to do with the Igbos that are installing Ezes anyhow in yorubaland and calling their land No man's land.

You keep talking about"if" lol If Buhari hadnt staged coup Ekwueme would have been president, if the first republic wasmt truncated Zik would have been president. In 57 of independence, an Ibo man has never led this country with no hope in sight and you are still beleiving in if? i guess if Atiku wins there will be an ibo president.


By the way the word you were looking for is "asserted". "Ascertained" implies that what i said has been verified. If you are not even fluent in your language of communication, it will always be difficult to comprehend what you are being told or to get your point across.

Keep wasting your time on Ibo presidency that will never be. you guys are victims of political naivety and myopia. You are stuck in a country called Nigeria because of a clause that has it's origins in Zik. Awo and Sardauna wanted a clause that will guarantee a referendum, Zik said no. You are also poised to play second fiddle because you dont have the numbers and you have insulted everybody and nobody will vote for you to make up the numbers. You are victims of your Myopia.

It's must be a psychological problem for the Ibos because any right thinking man knows that where the president comes from has no effect on the development of his area or his people. OBJ was president for 8 years, he did not touch anything in the SW even lagos ibadan (the most important road in Nigeria) or lagos otta the road to his own home. It was GEJ who started the reconstruction but what did he do for his area...nothing! What did all the Ibos in power do for the Ibos during GeJs presidency?

I have nothing further to say, you can argue all you like there will be no Ibo president for a generation, this is the reality the Ibos have created for themselves.

I suggest next time you let the blood rush subside, think about what you are writing before you post, you said "And Ibo man almost single handedly form PDP" according to that list there were only 2 Ibo men (Ekwueme and Nwobodo) out of the original 34 who formed PDP


There is nothing "almost single handedly" in 2 out of 34

geometricaxis:
stop trying to be too clever by halves, we alll know what you were trying to insinuate or else why bother making the statement?

geometricaxis:
My friend you are clearly ignorant of the facts, i suggest you try to read and not get your history from tales under the mango tree.


Awolowo offered Zik the position of prime minister making Zik the more powerful and Awo the ceremonial precedent, but Zik rejected it because he feared (and supposedly also advised by the British) the educated yorubas would be in competition and as there were less educated Northerners he would dominate the North in key positions.. and that was what happenned..for a while, .all the juicy civil service jobs were occupied by ibos and that is partly what started the Northern distrust of the Ibos so instead of citing key facilities which were meant to go to the east Balewa stopped or moved them to the North. Dont get ne wrong, I dont necessarily blame Zik at the time because Awo had previously pulled a fast one on Zik in the local Western region elections denying Zik the chance to be premier of the Western region. At the time I can understand his choice but history has shown it not only to have been the wrong decision but once for which the country ultimately never recovered.

As for numbers, Awolowo actually had a substantial following in the North but not enough to win without the Ziks help. By the same token because the North was fragmented Balewa needed a partner from the south. Middle belt had always been partial to Awolowo and there were other progressive politicians in the North at the time. Northern politics was actually fragmented in those days and still is there has never really been a block northern vote just that they have the biggest numbers, never in the history of Nigeria has one party swept the whole North in the same way a single party has swept the SW or SE. and so you always need some voptes from the north even if only a minority. The North cannot win without alliance with a section of the south and the south (assuming they are united) need only a small section of the north. It's basic political maths.


Like i said dont take my word for it read up.

PDP was not the creation of a single Ibo man stop claiming credit for what is not yours

https://constative.com/politics/pdp-formed-founding-fathers

In addition Atiku who inherited Shehu Musa Yaradua's political machinery was a major block in the PDP. In any event what is the benefit of the chest beating that you "created PDP" if after 16 years you could not get the presidency of vice presidency which is your aim? Now again Atiku is courting you to be vice president and that's as good as it gets assuming Atiku can even win.

My observation of Ibo politics (in general) since independence is that Ibo politician have always abandoned principles and sold out for power even if it is crumbs on offer, they will always take the junior role in a coalition just to be at the table. As a result they keep getting used, Just like Zik who was nothing more than a ceremonial president with no real power Ekwueme was a Vp and youve read his bitterness about not being given the opportunity to be president and a similar fate will befall any IBO VP, he will serve his time as VP but ultimately will be rejected as president. Rochas is actually one of the few Ibos who understands Nigerian politics, unfortunately, he has no base and in any event he is not an acceptable candidate.

To cut a long story short, you dont seem to understand how this thing works, it is a numbers game and APC does not need the SE vote because it has the north and SW on lockdown, For the SE to produce an Ibo president it needs votes from every other region. Like I said Ibos dont know how to play politics. You do not make noise, make demands and threaten people from a position of weakness. It's a numbers game and Ibos dont have the numbers for the gra-gra they make.

Who is your candidate?

You can't threaten any region to vote your candidate. Politics is a game of numbers. If you can't play it, sit and watch. Threats will never work!

spartacus11:
After you support and give pdp your vote for 20 years and you want APC to give you the presidential slot when they have not gotten your support once

How can that work? Explain
