Okoroawusa:
To think that Wike went to university and is a lawyer

My brother, someone called my attention to this statement and I shrugged it off saying that he could not have said that.

Here I am now sitting on his poo. Infact, I fit swear say the guy no go finish primary school...Lol.

kay29000:
Dude, Michael Jackson was larger than life in the 90s...it wasn't until his death in 2009 that he became the legend he is. Maybe you are too young to understand just how big MJ was/is.

Not maybe... he was actually too young to understand.

Gangster1ms:
Don't mind these mofo.. anything that has pussy clouds their judgment

Lol.

E be like say they just born them.

I am sure they ain't referring to the real Michael Jackson.

chukzyfcbb:
Oga chillax, Beyonce has possibly matched MJs performance , there is no argument that can rival that

Busta rhymes ni, bone thugs ko. Na only u dey follow music bah

No vex...but which Michael Jackson are you referring to?

ShyCypher:
Either you're drunk or you're indomie generation.

Asides maybe Busta Rhymes & all those Death Metal bands, I'll like to see any artiste claim to be more energetic than MJ on stage.

People won't kill me with laughter.

Comparing Beyonce with Michael Jackson.

Nawa o!

The money the Govt gives the Northern parasites is from Southern oil.
The South had crude oil, given by God.
The North too has oil, but it Ground Nut oil & palm oil.
Allah no fit give North crude oil that God gave the South

Sorry please, I thought I was talking to someone who is well.

Edu3Again:
These things do we get them Free or we buy them?

The North takes resources from the south Freely.

All we get free from you are blood shed and violence

What are you saying?

You mean the IOCs and NOCs aren't paying royalties for the crude they extract in the Niger Delta? What of the Minerals mined in the North; limestone, tin, ore etc. Are proceeds from them not shared with the South? Do states in the Niger Delta not get 13% derivation?

Are the Northerners not buying petrol, kerosene and diesel? How is it free? Keep blaming the North and never hold your leaders accountable.

seguno2:
Below is the extract from the January 2018 federation account sharing. Why is there zero contribution from farming in the north?

Please, pardon me, I taught I could help you.

But sincerely you need to go back to school.

Cooly100:
Sorry to bust your lies. There is something called turn. Nigeria is not ripe to vote based on performance or the group that are ready. If it were, GEJ would have continued. Buhari won not because of which group that was ready but because power had to shift to the north. Even PDP members from the north voted for Buhari. Can you remind us again why only Obasanjo and Falae contested in 1999? Remember Obasanjo came out from Prision...or was he campaigning from the prison?

Are you saying that the late Dr. Ekwueme, and Chief Etiebet did not contest in the PDP primaries against Obasanjo in 1999? What guarantee has Nd'igbo that we will get the ticket of any of the two major political parties should persons from the SW and SS decide to join in the contest?

Obasanjo had strong connections with the North and most of the retired Generals were his colleagues in the military. They mobilized for him and of course the desire of the North to make up for MKO Abiola's death played a big role. The North knew they could only have power back by finding a formidable ally in the South, and conceding them the first shot at presidency at the return of democracy in 1999.

The same Obasanjo mobilized for Jonathan and helped him secure the presidency in 2011. Jonathan had to win Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Nassarawa and the FCT. He only lost Niger state. Bottomline is, you need to get the numbers. You don't fold your arms and say it's you turn.

So, I repeat there is no such thing as 'turn'. Was it the 'turn' of the South in 2011? Buhari hardly campaigned in the SE and SS in 2011, I am sure he believed it was their 'turn'. When the veil in his eyes were removed, did he not rush to forge a partnership with the SW? Jonathan had same partnership with the SW in 2011 and won 5 out of their 6 states.

Igbos must wear their thinking caps now. If it is truly about 'turn' as you think it, after 50 or 20 years, it should have reached us.

Brugo:
Politics is a game of numbers. Who would support people who insult other ethnic groups? They should learn to bridle their tongues first. Insulting other ethnic groups is not a campaign strategy. By 2023 they will start with the insults again and expect the presidency to fall on their laps. If you want the centre then you must be appealing to those who have the numbers.

I have a soft spot for people like you who are very rational.

I am Igbo and this is what I keep telling these young men.

The presidency can't be served Igbos like a delicacy of 'ukwa'.

igbodefender:
So Igbos should just fold their hands and let their slot be filled by another region that has already done their own turn.

No! When the Presidency returns to the South in 2023, it's going to be Igbo Presidency.

I am Igbo but I have to correct an erroneous impression you made.

There is no such thing as 'turn'. Once, the presidency returns to the South, the most 'prepared' group takes it. Always remember that it is a game of numbers. The presidency won't remain 'unfilled' because we are not ready.

Nd'Igbo will still have to rely hugely on votes from the 3 regions of the North to make that break.

We have to build to right bridges that will guarantee our presidency in 2023, nothing is served on a platter.

seguno2:
You went all over the place with plenty grammar and words without answering my question.
Can I take that to mean that farmers in the north contribute ZERO to the federation account, which is shared in Abuja monthly?
Should we not collect money from the farmers in the same manner that we collect taxes and royalties from oil companies for exploiting the minerals in the soil that make the crops grow?
If we do that, as we used to in one way or another prior to 1966, agriculture will be revived as you claim to desire. Are you ready to lead such a movement in line with your desire

My brother, I really don't know what you want.

You asked how much Agric contributes to the GDP and I told you over 24%. You made it look as though Agric was useless but I clarified that it indeed contributes more than 70% of the jobs in our economy.

Where does the 24% earning come from if nothing is paid to the government by the farmers?? What about the taxes of the over 70% employees of the Agric sector?

Don't just post for the sake of it, you have to rationalize properly. Maybe, you think you can just wake and take your produce for export for free.

It worries that you could not even find where I addressed the questions you raised in my response.

seguno2:
Are they shared monthly in Abuja like the federation account also or they are bought by southerners?
How much taxes do the farmers of these agricultural products pay into the federation account? What % of the federation account does it represent
Are you sure that you know what you are talking about?

I should be asking you if you know what you are talking about, not the other way round.

You asked how much in % Agric contributes to the GDP and I thought it was objective. How can the same you ask if that constitutes what is shared from the Federation Account monthly?

I would leave the Mining sector contributions to the GDP and stick to your question. Agric contributes over 24% to the GDP and accounts for more than 70% of the jobs in the Nigerian economy. The manufacturing sector depends hugely on the Agric sector more than any other sector for raw materials, therefore making it a major offshoot of the Agric sector. Of what use is an economy without jobs? What percentage of jobs does the oil / gas sector contribute?

In case you don't know the power of Agric, let me give you a little stat. The Netherlands made about $90billion dollars last year exporting meat, vegetables, flowers, diary and eggs etc, which is significantly more than what Nigeria earned from crude oil - almost three times what Nigeria earned.

The abandonment of the Agric sector in Nigeria is chiefly responsible for most of the socioeconomic situations that we face today ranging from unemployment to economic instability and rising insecurity.

Edu3Again:
It's the money from the South that was used here.

Apart from Boko Haram, Fulani Herdmen, violence and murder, what does the North offer Nigeria?

You must be kidding to say this.

You sincerely want to know what the North offers?

Go into the kitchen of your parents' home and make a list for yourself...but ensure you don't include meat, onions, beans, tomatoes and yam 'cos I am sure you don't consume those.

HiddenShadow:
Product of SS/SE Oil & Gas wealth

Is that a justification for failure, especially in the SS?
The SS gets significantly more, have less burden on their infrastructures...
The people of the SS truly deserve more.

I can come there and show you personal pictures from my own investigation of the programme.

Sentiments apart. Lets accept his mad. Your father can never be competent or versatile to be in his league. Your mother will still abandon your father if he toasted her, you know?

See finishing o...Lol.

Abeg pity the Child...he doesn't know what it takes to be VP of one the most populous countries in the world.

Serves him right though.

veekid:
This Buhari no just get sense at all

Mr. Sense, keep your sense to yourself.

Fuckyoumod:
We must all support and commend this current Senate... They have refused to be Buhari's ass-lickers.

for this reason Saraki's led Senate has earned my respect.

Buhari must be fought in all direction.

They are lawmakers, they can make and amend any law in this country as long as the (two third majority is met) even the court knows this!

This is not about making and unmaking laws.

The question is, what value does it bring to the our elections?

Is it okay by you because it is a move against Buhari or because it will add value to the electoral process?

GreyLaw:
Please when did Obama, a man of African descent who's been to Kenya, call Nigeria a North African country? That's a crazy mistake to make and I'd like a link to such, please.

Ivory coast and Cote d'Ivoire are interchangeable. I speak French and I know they mean then very same thing.

Referring to a country that ceased to exist in 1991 as though it still existed, in place of a country as popular and powerful as Germany, is a blunder. A big one a President shouldn't make. I mean, Germany isn't Fiji islands in which case one would say they have obscure history.

Buhari is just a poor, unmanageable president. Simple and short.

Like I said, I don't see how the Western Germany matter is such a big issue. If you think Buhari is intellectually poor or whatever, that is your issue, not mine.

Buhari is Nigeria's president, short and simple.

HeyCorleone:
The last use of West Germany was in 1991 when it was a country bruh. It's like referring to Benin officially as Dahomey.. For a President to make such blunder isbt a slight of hand. Hr just doesn't know. He never knows anything.

It is okay if you see it as a blunder but I do not see it that way.

President Obama did speak of Nigeria as a country in North Africa yet heaven did not fall.

A good number of us young people still refer to Cote d' Ivoire as Ivory Coast and no one has been jailed for that. Abeg, free my president jare!

Let's deal with the tangibles please.

Sagamaje:
Femi Adesina father messed up by not using condom. This man is too foolish

There is nothing foolish about his remark.

If not for intellectual bankruptcy, I do not see how offering an explanation as to why insecurity has become exacerbated in the West African subregion equates to surrendering responsibility.

As young people, we must desist from playing politics the exact same way the old generation that we are now trying to oust played. There is actually nothing to politicise about the President's remark, absolutely nothing.

FUNNYBONE1:
Nigeria a country blessed with wonderful people but stupid leaders.

Not correct at all.

Leaders come from among the people.

Leadership cannot outclass the society that creates it.

HeyCorleone:
Nigga don't be stupid. Côte d Iviore and Ivory Coast are the same.. Just different languages. So? He might as well call Ghana "Gold Coast" or Tanzania "Tangayinka" since you don't know what you're saying.

You can't expect me to meet with the VP and describe him as ineffective. Who does that? I'd be surprised if someone did that.

Have you no brains at all?

Smh.

So, what's your point with the West Germany comment?

Where is your objectivity when you talk of ineffectiveness without instances. Do you think you are in a drinking parlour?

I repeat, I don't see any sense in your post even with your 'plenty' brains.

HeyCorleone:
This very ineffective man.

Honestly when you take into fact that our Vice President is a lawyer and a pastor and such injustices are happening in the country, you begin to wonder of what use he is..

I attacked the man yesterday and got a lot of bashing. Well. Someone has to force the truth down our throat.

A government where an illiterate (not measured by degree now. Buhari is a stark illiterate. It's obvious from his speeches, his blunders (the nigga once said "West Germany". TF? In 2017) and his always knowing nothing about the happenings in his country) is President and dominating while the very educated one with potentials is regulated to the background. Like I said yesterday if he had any sense he'd have long since resigned.

FTC dedicated to my nigga Frank White. Frank White with the cocaina. Bless you bruh.

Your post makes no sense at all.

I know a lot of very learned persons who still refer to Côte d Ivoire as Ivory Coast. Infact, President Obama once referred to Nigeria as a country in either North Africa or so.

No human being that has met Prof. Osinbajo, even for a second, will use the word 'ineffective' to describe him.

Na only you sabi wetin dey pain you.

[quote author=Paperwhite post=66619953]Buhari should meet whosoever he so wish to meet but that will never save him from the electoral tsunami that will sweep him away from our national life in 2019.[/quote.)


Bring your candidate.

Anybody but not Buhari again...people have suffered enough

I don't seem to get it when we say 'people have suffered enough'. People should get to work, simple. Young people, educated or not, should get some skills and quit idling away, waiting for white collar jobs.

How many countries of the world spend over 80% of their revenue on recurrent budget and still fair well? At least now we have a government that has managed to raise capital budget to 30%.

How can jobs be created without the right infrastructures in place? It is these infrastructures that will attract the private sector investments that will create jobs and drive the economy.

Go around the country and see what is been done in terms of investments in roads, rails and power plants. These are what we need for sustainability, not deploying 85% of our national resources on servicing recurrent expenditure. That's certainly a hand-to-mouth strategy. We are only now making the sacrifices we should have made in the past decades building infrastructures.

Imagine that the other OPEC member nations made significant savings, in several billion USD, during the 2010-2014 oil windfall, but Nigeria made none. Skills development and putting the right infrastructures is the way to go, though it will come with a huge price, which is what we are paying now...however, that's not the same as suffering.

NwaAmaikpe:



Trash.
How can we count on him to prosecute IBB if IBB or IBB's family are ever found culpable of any crime when he is already ass-licking and godfather-lobbying?

Donald Duke is the man to beat.
Donald Duke is the only Nigerian politician who understands that power belongs to the people and not to the godfather's cabal.

In my honest opinion,
If Donald Duke won't rule us, then Buhari should be allowed to keep ruining us till 2023.
Because the rest are worse monsters.

We are talking of the presidency. You need to pay attention to the different regions that constitute Nigeria.

In which regions do you think Donald Duke can garner significant votes.

As for Buhari ruining you, sorry about that. My facts show me that Buhari is doing well.
