ribbit:
how are anambrans doing?

I'm sure lagosians are doing better.

Anambra has one of the highest HDI in Nigeria.

They beat Lagos in many things even with their small IGR.

Acidosis:
Of course, the naira will weaken further. The most dollarized election in the world is coming up soon in the world's poverty capital. Quite paradoxical that the most affected and oppressed by the poverty plaque are more likely to plunge the country further into poverty and indebtedness by their crass electoral choices and mal-decisions.

That is even the irony..
The group of people in Nigeria that are suffering the most are the same people hell bent on voting a crook.

I don't understand it.

The people that are okay already want better governance, while the ones that can barely feed are saying atiku kawai.

If you like don't vote Peter obi, if you like go and vote a crook for tribe and religion.

That's your cup of tea.

No be me go feed your papa.

DWickedLandLord:
Just a few years later some are claiming to even be more Nigerian than The Igbos.

But congrats to the north for outsmarting everybody. That cannot be argued. There is no position of power related to government you won't see a northerner

Whether it was coordinated or by happenstance doesn't even matter .

There is nobody more Nigerian than the Igbo.
Igbos are the original Nigerians.

Nigeria was created in the image of zik and ironsi.

ElSudani:
Not true, Ibos inadvertently put the north in position of power.
He should be thankful for Ifeajuna and Ironsi. And Azikiwe too.

True.
The British tried very hard to put the North on top.

But those guys were too dumb to actually grab it.

It was ironsi with his unitary policy that ensured that the economic disparity between the North and the South that promoted southern superiority was dissipated on the altar of one unitary country.

And once the economic advantage moved from regions to federal control, it created an equilibrium that empowered the populous north.

It was an Igbo man that ironically created Northern dominance by mistake.

femisplash:
The British authorities feared Awolowo's intellectualism and sagacity that they conspired and he was rigged out. Here was a man that was a century ahead of his peers. Don't take my word for it, visit your history- The NTA you have on your TV screen today was formerly the WNTV, the first in Africa. Under Awolowo, the King of Saudi Arabia came all the way down to Nigeria for medicals in the old University teaching hospital, Ibadan. Free medical care for all, free and compulsory Education, including scholarships for students abroad (UK) funded by the Western Government. Agriculture was the major revenue earner with commodity boards directly buying off agricultural produce from Farmers profitably and selling to consumers at reasonably prices.
Wait for this, Awolowo was the first to establish an Embassy in the UK aimed at promoting diplomatic relations between the UK Govt and the Govt of Western Nigeria but unfortunately, ALL of these gains and more were eroded when a section of the country led by Aguiyi Ironsi destroyed regionalism and replaced it with Unitary System of Government through Section 34 of Unification Decree. Now, SW has become" be as I be" but we muuve!, God pass dem.
At the time the British were leaving us, they gave to each section of the country her own regional autonomy while handing the affairs of the central government to the duo of Hausa/Fulani and Ibo as Prime Minister and Governor-General respectively. However, unfortunately, three years into our budding republic, some greedy folks from a section of the country, in their wiles and clannish egoistical attempts at dominating the rest of the country- According to Azikiwe who had said in 1947 that " it seems as though the God of Africa had created the ibos to dominate and lead the African Continent", hatched the very first and bloodiest coup ever known on Nigerian soil whereby both Military and democratic leaders of Western, Midwest and Northern were gruesomely murderer leaving "their own" to spare.
Bashir Elrufai has every rights to bask and be boastful not because the North were greedy with power but because ibos introduced a needless coup and would later collapse a functioning regional system and above all kicked against secession clause into the 1959 constitution, which allowed the North took advantage of the lapses created, thus entrenching their grip on power. Power is sweet, they tasted it and loved it. I could remember that the North were contented with the progress of the regional Government with cotton, hides and skin providing the major source of revenue. Until Azikiwe and his Ibo comrades threw Awolowo under the bus to align with the North.
The likes of Prof. Uju Anya is only paying for the sins and the carelessness of her ancestors, ( especially the stupidity of Ojukwu during the war) so, she should kindly STFU and take a back seat.
Your forefathers were already regretting making you a 4th class citizen at the gate of their graves.

Is there anything the average Yoruba enjoy that Igbos don't?

You left Bashir El rufai and started attacking the Igbos like the true coward you are.

You are a Coward and most likely from a descendants of cowards.

Abeg , let me delete my posts.

I can't jeopardize my Visa because of Nigerians.

Jay16:
Am noticing something about Sheggz too much pride but you see Bella very arrogant, rude and bitter person, that babe fit poison person

I used to overrate them, but when I realized that most of them are 21, 22, 23, 24 years old, I stopped expecting much behavior-wise.

Na small pikin dey worry Dem.

Bella at 30 would not behave the way she is now.

What is all these British accent?
And it has become a consistent theme in every season.

Get proper Nigerians into this show na.

Then maybe you should not open your legs until he has married you.

Abeg make una no follow my advise o.

I still need ladies to bang abeg.

But in all that hate against the South East people, Igbos are still at the top end of the Nigerian human developmental index.

So what are you even hating?
What is the point of your hate if it can't touch them?

Spherica177:
Lol

Fact is a respecter of no man!

Yeah "facts" from Tinubu campaign office.

The Gaboon is the second most poisonous snake in the world after the king cobra.

Spherica177:
I thought some of you guys claimed Buhari rigged the election? How come the mob voted him in biko?

Anyway, the opposition parties are too weak to outsmart the Dean of Nigeria politics.

Oh, so you are a tinubu man.

I even thought you are a rational bystander.

Abeg dey go with your Dean.

I no get time to dey argue with sycophants.

Spherica177:
either Tinubu or Atiku will win. I don't banter to the mob. None of the candidates including Sowore if given the chance will do wonders and make Nigeria become an Eldorado

I only know either of the two career politicians will succeed Buhari

But Buhari won by the vote of the mob.

It's the people that votes, not tinubu or atiku.

The govt should compensate her.

We don't need more suffering.

Spherica177:
ome of these career politicians (Tinubu or Atiku) will become the next president in Nigeria and they will still remain friends.

It's not automatic.

Power belongs to the people.

If they choose obi, then obi will become president.

clericuzzio:
Never trust these fulanis, they need southern votes as well as Rivers State funds.

If wike, Makinde like make them open their state resources fund the election..
If Atiku ever wins, wike go hear am and would be given Tinubus kind of treatment

I don't envy wike if atiku wins.

They are trying to appease wike by all means.

I like his football.
They will utilise our players better.
I hope he does well.

Eniolohunda:
Yes he may be living in his forefathers building, he is entitled to it ko kin se omo ale. Let me tell you, he even command respect outside Nigeria. Which none of your land king has achieved. Go and read about him online. I don't have time to educate you on that, this morning.

Stop vomiting nonsense.

A king is a King among his own people alone.
His Dominion does not extend beyond yorubaland, so what are you bragging about.?

What is the noise about?

.

.

And the funny thing is that peter obi has done this before.

He won the governorship on a "structureless" party, and that party has never been voted out ever since.

Can thunder strike twice?
Only time will tell.

It is common Sense.

What has benue gained under the apc?
Nothing but pain and tears.

It's time they try the labour party.
