Lagos might not be safe for some people next year.
Now it might seem like the usual nairaland banter but reality will soon dawn

What exactly are you going to do to them?

The sarkin Fulani is rejoicing over his victory against the so called Yoruba defender.

The Yoruba themselves pained to the marrow, and instead of facing the Fulani victors are turning to the igbos in a game of "na all of us lose" like true cowards.

The igbos on the other hand with no single sense in those ones, are shooting themselves in the foot in more ways than one.

Idiocy all around.

Gave birth to an American baby?

Kai.
Nigeria in the mud.

Is America the kingdom of heaven?

We wee not take it.

Atleast it is better he marries a Nigerian gold digger than a foreign gold digger.

Atleast one Nigerian family would have escaped poverty.

Unfortunately, ghana has stolen all the tourism rights thanks to a proper policy and a stable country.

Most of these foreigners think they are all from Ghana, thanks to the Ghanaian govt PR push.

It's only the smart ones among them that knows where they are truly from.

See the small boy wey she dey date sef.

If you hear the way all these ladies dey talk about boyfriend up and down, you go think say na one better person dey pipe dem.

phemmyfour:
It's not the financial aspect that's the challenge here

It's always about the money.

Or you think say na she go help your pay school fees or buy food stuffs?

Honestly, I like this.

Plan your life, people.

It even helps the man a lot as the responsibility falls on him to provide.

Atleast nobody will force the woman to go and do family planning after two children.

My kind of woman.

Did you understand why Hitler failed? Read the history again. Russia was indeed very lucky. And note the world and US was against Germany, so it is easy for them to loose.

Are you talking about the same Hitler that already annexed most of Europe.?

Lucky indeed.

Tochj:
Crying more than the bereaved
Most people in the East knew that fighting for freedom is not easy
And are ready to make sacrifices for it.
All those crying for us
Save Ur tears
You never loved us
Why too much care.

But this your way of freedom fighting does not affect anybody except igbos.

Infact, buhari won't care.
Kano state alone generates more VAT than the entire East.

Buhari only concern with regard to the east is that the sovereign territory of Nigeria is maintained.
And he has stationed the military there to do that.

Anything else does not concern him.
Starving yourselves to death would not move him.

As long as the land is under Nigerian control.

Your sit at home serves no purpose and you know it.

jigo1:
These people are gradually taking away all our brains leaving us with dociles like jagaban... We beta wise up

And they will take more in the future.
They are waiting for the ones in secondary School to graduate from University first.

Keep voting for the likes of jagaban.

You have the likes of moghalu, that is young, Internationally exposed, and knows how far behind Nigeria is and is intellectually equipped enough to bridge the gap as quickly as he can.

But una say na jagaban, an old man with nothing Left to offer.

Even if these Nigerian minds come back, where would they fit in?

Especially the ones in STEM and medicine.

Barth Nnaji, an expert in robotics and mechatronics, came back home and you turned him into a minister for power.

When you should have plugged him into applied science and technology training the next generation of Nigerian minds and churning out home grown solutions in Defence and industry, like China is doing.

We don't have such advanced specialised agencies to absorb such people.

Where will Uchechi Iweala fit in? The First black surgeon in Maryland USA to carry out a robot- assisted spinal surgery..

Are you going to send him to your ill-equipped general hospitals?

That would be a waste of talent.

Improve the technological and educational base of the country, first.

If these highly skilled Nigerians come back right now, we can't utilize them.

They are too skilled for the country.

There is no incentive for the govt to care about the South East.

No major water resources, No exclusive Natural resources, the critical productive mass of the Igbo people is outside igboland, No real voting power.

Why would a president like buhari care?

He dislikes you already and you have made it easy for him to disregard you.

Buhari does not like the South South as well.
He openly said due to oil discovery in the north, it would help reduce the politics of oil in some parts of Nigeria.

But he cannot disregard the south South.
The resources are there, the voting power is there.

The south east that need the voting power the most are still the same people that will fail to collect their PVC or refuse to vote.

Such a crazy group.

juman:
Igbos are burning their noses to spite their "enemies".
What a thoughtless idea.
Their people are dying of hunger.

Other nigerians care not about their sit at home.

It baffles me.

If they want to make Buhari attend to them.
It's very possible.

Every Igbo man or woman in Nigeria should come and get their PVC.

By the time the south East active PVC alone is at over 2 million, not even counting the millions of igbos outside the East, the APC would quake in their boots.

The only thing politicians in Nigeria respect is voting power.

And igbos are lagging behind in that.

You better come out and flog the ipob madness out of your region.

helinues:


His opinion actually which is inconsequential

Inconsequential.??

Are you forgetting that they are the ones that tinubu is counting on to win?

All the best graduating students in my faculty of Engineering are no longer in Nigeria.

Any of them with a CGPA above 4.5.

America and German schools poached them.

Na the sharp 2.1 people like us still dey Nigeria dey work for better company

Over 5000 Nigerian nurses in the UK alone and counting.

One of my friends in the UK just brought along his sister who is a nurse.
She is now trying to get certified.

I am personally hoping to be poached through the tech nation visa scheme.

Na all of us go Japa.

b3llo:
American's stealing our best brains.

The law of nature.

The strong consumes the weak.

Go and ask India and China.

The brain drain those countries are suffering is miles ahead what obtains in Nigeria.
All the CEOS of the biggest tech firms in America are Indians.
Twitter, Microsoft, Google, Netflix, Pepsi, e.t.c

All Indians.

It shows you the level of brain drain that India is suffering.

Only China has managed to start reversing those brain drain little by little.

Infact, US don't want Chinese citizens in stem fields anymore because they mostly go back home and take back all those knowledge with them to strengthen China.

The most recent advance in hypersonic glide vehicle technology was done by a Chinese citizen whose research was refused funding in America.
They didn't think it was feasible.

He went back to China and China funded him.

If Nigeria want to cut down on brain drain, expand your education and technological base, improve reward for labour and intellectual property, create a stable and secure society, and the best Nigerians minds would gravitate home.

In short, develop the country.

JosephXavier:
One thing I like about Yorubas is that they are always brilliant and smart

One thing I admire about Igbos is that they are always resourceful and hard working

Thanks to US for this gesture

If not ehn, next three years you will see him working with Zenith bank as bank teller

The best graduating student of his class is an Igbo boy, though.

Intelligence is not restricted to tribe.

The valedictorian of the same class is somewhere in obscurity.

Package yourself, people.

Loud your achievements.

The guy had 4.86, another guy had 4.87 in the same Dept at Unilag.

The guy that had 4.87 is not on Twitter.

It was his sister that was trying to loud the news on his behalf, and it looks like he has missed his chance.

Packaging is everything.

Advocate500:
is that why his people voted for him? To whom brain is given sense is expected.

He has not been sworn in yet.

The one he can do is what he is doing now.

And that is a very good sign.

So IBB the maradona, an epitome of corruption and executive rascality is who is endorsing our future president?

Lol.

A pig walks with its kind.

BKayy:
As simple as that.
I wonder why some people, especially our brothers from the other States try to attribute Anambra success to chance/luck. They think that the success is from Ngige's three years unfortunately "rigged" tenure.
Nobody is against Ngige but they need to understand that for any state to move forward the citizens have to come to decision and make the bold move.
Anambra made the bold move by casting all her eggs in one basket, and that basket is APGA.
It seemed impossible at first after the election when PDP used federal might to push APGA to the corner but just like you said "we had a fighter in the person of Peter Obi that dragged the case for three long years"

Our brothers from the other states need to come to a decision. Do they want a change and control their destiny or they are happy with they way things are.

Speaking of Ngige's fight with his Godfathers, to be honest, we the indigenes don't care about it because we have already disowned PDP before that.
Two thing people fail to ask themselves before trying to corner APGA's success as result of Ngige's fight with his own PDP people are
1. How does it affect APGA (the people voted for)
2. What are the odds that after Ngige another Godfather won't rise up like the norm in PDP or that Ngige won't become the Godfather himself because PDP is built on "Godfatherism"

So these questions are what we capitalised on and never gave PDP chances, instead like I said we choose a Party, a brand new Igbo oriented Party that was built on the ideology of decentralisation, a degree of freedom for her elected members to act with no "Godfatherism" despite the odds.

Whenever our brothers are ready to free themselves, they will learn to leave that which glitters because it is not Gold. PDP promise them access to the center but what did they benefit from it during the two decades of PDP rule?
What have they benefitted from PDP despite their loyalty to the demon?

Year in year out, you stand for PDP, you swim in mud at Aba, Orlu is neglected, Aba is a mess, Umuahia keeps detoriating, only Douglas Road and Enugu capital city is the entire state to them, you repeat, for 2 decades you maintain the cycle. This is neither loyalty nor hard luck, it is choice. They like it

No need to talk about APC. That one is not a party

And that is why I support Peter Obi at the center.

Nigga would fight the powers that be for his convictions.

LordVarys1:
Osinbajo has a bright chance though he will make a weak president. He will be controlled completely.

My problem with osinbajo is that he does not have the pedigree in doing what needs to be done.

He has not been tested in high public office before.

The only stint he had as vice president, his supporters are telling us that his hands are tied.
A whole vice president.

The same people that told us that that osinbajo will handle economy while buhari will handle security in 2015 are the same people selling him to us now.

He talks nice, he looks nice, he is dignified. That is all.
Just vibes and insha allah.

No real pedigree.

Nigeria does not need that right now. We need someone who can do the hard task and who has done it before.

The country is on the precipice.

Does osinbajo look like someone that can streamline our civil service, cut waste and improve efficiency?
No.

All through his 8 years as vice president, there is no indication of any reformist character in him.

He would try his best, but most of govt would keep running as usual.

I would rather him than tinubu though by far, but I don't expect much from him.

Just a bit of improvement here and there but most things would remain the same.

GeneralOjukwu:

If Peter Obi gets 10,000 votes in the North, send your account number.

Infact, I can boldly say I would give you 1 naira for each vote he gets in the North.

If he easy, goat for dey shave. Stop dreaming bro.

Peter obi may not get even one vote in the North, which is your wish.

But this is not an indictment on him, it is an indictment on the north.
It's not surprising that the north has endemic illiteracy, and religious conservatism.

It doesn't change the fact that Peter obi is and will remain the most qualified candidate from southern Nigeria.

The question is "who do you want to be president".

He did not ask who will the north vote for?
Two different questions.

Peter Obi.

I am not deluded neither am I a fool.

I don't reward failure.

Alexis11:
It's really terrible that a normal human being with a head will ever think Atiku is better than Tinubu.

Lol

Atiku is miles ahead of tinubu in everything good.

And I will never vote for someone like atiku.
