₦airaland Forum

Its all well and good to use all your rough vocabulary on any commentary but the question
you guys have failed to answer is

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THESE THINGS YOU ACCUSE THEM OF DOING WERE TAKING PLACE
AND WHAT DID YOU DO?

IF you are ensconced in your comfort zone wherever and watching events pass by you have no right to all the
indignation you are mouthing .

If you cannot answer the question, hold your indignation, i hold mine. No cause for wahala . I want to believe this Nairasland
is a free parking zone.

With all these lamentations, I believe this man from mars was out of orbit in the solar system.
He does not belong to this planet and is permanently marooned in an equinox.
Where and what were you doing when the guy was foisted on you? What did you do? For
whatever reason, he is your president and this office demands respect for the occupant.

Look we have a problem and the time for sitting on the fence is over and something must be done
to find a fast way out of the situation.

Having said that, coming to a public forum to exhibit lack of empathy is just a show off and insults
the sensibilities. Where is our humanity? There are many ways of showing indignation but this one
and many I have seen in the past few days in Nairaland is dehumanising.

^^^^^^^^^^
I do not agree. Death can occur in all types of circumstances, regardless
of anyones opinion.It takes the tolerant and the intolerant.

quote from Babapupa


Yet, the so called leaders of tomorrow runs endlessly and ransacks the internet for fossilized, irrelevant and useless issues just to point new sets of fingers and continue the same worthless visions cycle.

Spot on, where are the Goebbels of Biafra? Big ups , still in the archives of Fleet Street? Digging up? Even Fleet street journalists have moved to the countryside.

[b]Nice one - Senate chambers will now become colliseum. Na Ken Calebs go be President

Murray Bruce na Majority leader [/b]

General ke- all na coup general.

Na my parade commander for NYSC camp be my star soldier, general or no genersl.

There is no general without troops. All of them na by promotion.

Na general for officers mess dem all be,

Where is the logic when your best is not good enough? Juxtapose that against the bright and docile guys on your side.
The moment they get there na to chop.

Wetin concern agbero wit overlord. I dey kampe for naija, no leave no transfer, i no send

@ALoy

This na overkill, wetin you want people wey never pay school fees for community high school to say.
Abi you want to turn Nairaland into another Ovation. All this big big school and court case no necessary na.
Dele Momodu go sue you

I disagree. Let the time come, and you will be put to shame. Whatever the turmoil
one person only will be President and they will fish him out. After all we are all going to vote.
He /she will be president of Nigeria just like others before him.

I think you are weakling.

I hope our servantleaders in the north are listening.

No be babban riga and cap to match be government. Nothing beats

humility,a clear conscience and of course the desire to do good for the gratest

number. Ahmadu Bello University(Main Campus) stretches from Falladan to Shika and beyond,

over 20 kilometers. A governor today will commandeer such land for himself.

These are people with foresight.

Allah jikan rai , mazan kwarai.

Personally, I want

-a halt to state creation, each exercise creates more majorities/minorities and funds for development are wasted on political offices and bureaucracy

- a parliamentary system of government because the presidential system is too expensive and winner takes all

- part time legislators- the cost of maintaining these guys is too much

- real and true federalism including its fiscal aspects- this will make everybody wake up and look inward for other sources of revenue

-implementation of the Uwais report in all its ramifications

-overhaul of the local government system- adequate separation of powers, governors too domineering

- abolition of this obnoxious rotation sysytem (CONTENTIOUS)

- entrenchment of specific percentages to education,health etc in our constitution

etc etc

What do you think

@chosen04

Please do not react to the post again. let it fade. That is the best strategy.

The cracked record is on the grammophone again, playing on the same spot.

@Oboma1

So you have also been counting the one cd music stars i mentioned

U go tire. They are a virus . They invade every thread and frustrate meaningful dialogue.

That is their own interpretation of freedom of speech.

I amsure Seun and the moderators will come up with anti-virus , soon

What is going to be the effect on cross border and transit of this banned item?
Don't get me wrong, I want alcohol banned anywhere but we must live with
it and make sure that our laws adequately recognise potential areas of conflict.

As an aside, na police wey dey take this drink like mad go control am?
Abi army for mammy market? Abi for motor park?

Hmmmnnnn

@josboy4lif
Na only di medium we get o

Ikeyman00 sef never confirm.

@Oboma1
That is how we are supposed to treat each other in these pages, with
decorum. The debate is clouded when you begin to hurl invectives and
the thread becomes uninteresting, especially .

You know say no be only for music you get one cd music stars. Dem dey plenty
for Nairaland. Even sef d cd get only one track- Northerner na almajiri, i backward and
illiterate , na him spoil naija( when dem uncle don do minister and special adviser). E
surrender do boy boy collect money instead of to fight for him people. Now e wan claim say
him dey for elders forum dey abuse north.

Anyway no get patience for such people.

SO was Intercontinental Bank established to collect tithes?
What do we call this one now-surely not Islamic Banking?

@ENjoyment1 and Bialegend.

Hope this responds to your caption?

Nobody has monopoly on idiocy. What makes a man
is deep reflection and appraisal events and how they
govern our affairs before uttering commentary and arriving
at conclusions.

Being on Nairaland is no big deal, it is what you use it for that matters.
Your utterances in whatever direction reveals your inner person, education,
intelligence and mindset. I refuse to make any sweeping conclusions on this
on you and your kinsmen. Na you I know.

I do not wish to say more.

^^^^^^^^
Personally, I have nothing against the six zones being suggested as long as they are federated.
I am only being realistic. Ask folks in Ekiti,AkwaIbom, Delta, Bayelsa , Nassarawa Benue, and Gombe
to go back to the zones. This is not to talk of the folks looking for new states. This is realpolitik, my friend

From the beginning, there have always been coalitions whether in military or civilian regimes.
You had the ziks, Akintolas, okotie Ebohs, , Akinwale Weys,Awolowos Ukpabi Asikas, Enahoros just to mention a few.
I can also mention the Akinrinades and Ukiwes and Ogbemudias and Anenihsa, Iwuanyawu, Babatopes
and Enahoromany others.

At each stage it was either the bullet or the ballot box and we were all cheerleaders or voters. When did
it really occur to you guys that your kinsmen were just followers and that they had no liver to get some action?
Who were the rabble rousers in he erstwhile NPN , NRC/SDP and who are the godfathers i todays PDP? Where
do we have fratricidal politics? Anambra, Ekiti, Oyo?  What did you do to challenge them to put sanity in the
various governments, military or civilain? Give me a break jo.

There is a collective malady and actually default on the part of the elite, military, civilian, traditional and business elite
and they had no qualms cutting deals and doing business with each other. Once they agree , everything falls into place.
It is only with this understanding that reasonable appreciation of our problems can be discussed. The moment  anybody
plays the tribal card, you know that collective interest is in jeopardy.

In any case, as a federation, with all its imperfections, states ran their own affairs and no Sminu Turaki was sent to
Anambra, or a Dariye to Oyo( and to show the moral bankruptcy he funded campaigns there with Ecological funds belonging to
Plateau )and neither was an Ibori sent to Katsina but he Delta funds were used in the presidential capaign. Or are we talking of
the Odili saga. No  permanen secretary was sent from Zamfara or Adamawa or Borno to work in southern states or the other way
round. Our governors collected our dues, used some to work for the people and theri pockets.

If you are or were not brave to challenge your kinsman for not correcting perceived wrongs and this has led us to where we are today,
you have no moral justification to blame others. This is the funny aspect of the matter. If their opinions were not heard, did they shout from
the roof tops or take the honourable exit?  Go and ask them. Now they have become soothsayers , predicting doom  as a result of circumstances
or events in which they were active(docile?) participants/ collaborators and beneficiaries.

I know it is very hard to blame your kinsman but we must face the facts and that is this mess is their own footnptes in the history of Nigeria. I am
not saying anything new. That is why many of us just watch experts in the blame game and in the absence of any suggestions or acknowledgement
of the basic truth, allow the insults to pass. We just allow the collective orgasm to continue. One day you will have to wear your trousers, abi?

@ jonah

It appears you are still in the belly of that whale. Na only Igbo your compass dey see?
You have passed your sell by date. Why don't you move on and try other chores.

^^^^^^^^^^
Need I say more?

Unlike other folk, we come to Nairaland without any hangups. That explains why you may not see vigorous
reactions to the  attacks we meet  on this forum. Some of the rubbish spewed here are better often ignored
because they have not deviated from the beaten track- northerners and leadership in Nigeria, northerners
literacy and so on and so forth. No one is asking for medals for any feat but the issue remains that whatever
befalls this nation is a collective tragedy everybody is involved I always wonder why people never ask questions.
Nigerians collectively run this country and if you failed collectively, only the northerner is responsible.

On the basis of the foregoing, how do you expect  meaningful debate? This is the mindset and even the title
of this thread says it all. People have formed impressions, not necessarily out of their own experiences, sometimes
through hearsay and tales told by jaundiced persons and it becomes their primer.

Today it is a democracy and there is freedom of speech. Say what you want and  we  in return are free to read, respond
or ignore  what you say. Why are you unhappy if we refuse to respond?  And who says everybody must come to Nairaland ?
Who is the poster among 150 million or more people even, Nairaland,which , as I am writing , has 441076members. Why should i
respond to the tantrums of those whose phobia does not increase any value to my life?

Persons who feel aggrieved , or challenged should face their representatives and defend their votes. By so doing,they can stop
the rot going on in this nation. Without the nerve to do so, they turn to the only wall they could hang their blame- the northerner.
Many have refused to join the mime on this thread as even the simplest attempt at response is visited with the same argument, nothing
new. So we continue to watch in amusement. Have these educated , sophisticated, and enlightened guys run short of ideas on why we
are today. When will they stop and start thinking about tomorrow?

Our savvy guys in Nairaland have only ideas on what happened yesterday and who to blame. What shall we do tomorrow- no idea, but
they have primers on what happened yesterday. Wer should use our past and present experiences to shape our tomorrow
and not continue to live in the past.

@ Becomrich

Have you been to Miya Barkatai or Boi or Bukka Bakwai ?

Do you speak Esperanto?

If not you have lost my vote.

Maybe you should wait till 2021

Ha , Nigeria, there is one mad fellow making dreadful nice on the BBC Hausa service. Dora needs
to shut him up. As someone said, Nigerians and have always lived with this anomally, but for how long.
Individual effort will on the home front (self and family) will not inject the massive power requirements
for industry and essential social services like the health sector.

More distressing is the loud silence from the legislature.

- What is the situation report on the power probe?
- Is this NIPP thing still on?
- What is the progress so far made?

I tire Oh
