In 2023, if buhari endorses a candidate, vote for him.

Una go learn.

Eventually it will happen. We are still at the sensitization stage.

If you guys do it right, the akwaibom- cross river wealth transfer may happen again.

But this guy just left the pdp.

horsepower102:
Rivers state is an artificial creation. The borders make no sense. I have pointed this out in the past and was accused of land grabbing. There are so many Igbo communities from Imo and Abia trapped in that quagmire.

Well, go to the supreme court.

I think It is very necessary.

It shouldn't have mattered where the oil wells fell in given the homogeneous nature of the ethnic groups.

But with Wike pulling some crazy moves, I wouldn't blame the East for getting all that is theirs by any means possible.

She has the same voice as stephlon don.

NORSIYK:
Only a foolish Igbo will even consider voting APC after their 5 years plus disaster and alienating Igbos from any meaningful appointment.
PDP right from the formation of it has carried Igbos along and with every other regions, PDP hasn't discriminated against any region throughout the time they were in power.
Can you say that about apc?

They should translate their "carrying along' to more visible projects in the East.

Don't just carry the igbo elites along, carry the common people along as well.

If they can do that, they would deserve Igbo loyalty.

Aso rock is a Hausa speaking joint.
Take away osinbajo, and the only Yoruba man there is a photographer.

Josywhyte:
I agree with u to an extent. But,apart from Innoson vehicles,that assembles cars in Nigeria,which other automobile manufacturers or assembly plant do we have in this country?
If we could get up to say 6 assembly plants in Nigeria then the FG can increase the import duties the way it wants. Get my point now?

Why would Toyota or Hyundai set up in Nigeria when it is cheaper to just send from Japan and south Korea?

I hear Hyundai would soon be exporting to Nigeria FROM Ghana.

Bravo.

IBBG:
so our local manufacturers rather finish us off with exorbitant prices? Even in areas where production is relatively good, prices are still exorbitant, how does that help consumers?

Inflation is high, electricity is expensive.

Blame your govt.

Paxxcarl:
personally i prefer the foreign brands

No problem.

As long as you don't prefer their economy and Job creation levels.

Just accept your position as consumers with a consumer economy.

NIgeria is not even in the G-20.

Una no dey shame.

IBBG:
infact now i'm beginning to believe competition is better than protectionism. Because protectionism favours the manufacturers and oligarchs in Nigeria while, competition favours the consumers due to cheaper price.

Do you even know the meaning of competition?

You are competing with countries with cheap power and low inflation rates.

I don't blame you sha.

You are not a manufacturer.

If gbajagbamiala is defending the police, I can understand.

He needs relative peace to loot, and also a police to protect him and his loot.

But when one Tajudeen living in one room somewhere, practising 1-0-1 feeding system, still defends police brutality and condemns any form of protest, then it is clear he is suffering from Generational Curse.

Angelfrost:
Where are Nairaland anti-protest and pro-police squad??!.... ivolt, Golan007, please don't hide away from this thread.

I say it unapologetically.

All of dem will suffer police brutality in its cruelest form.

If people starts protesting, Some cursed Nigerians will start analysing how brutal the brutality was.

People that their lives will never know good things.

We should know that the Archbishop of Canterbury is friends with buhari.

It's not surprising the fake news from BBC.

BUT we must not give up.

Justice must be served.

That CNN lady was about to laugh.

Muyiwaipere:
The bible says ...the shrewd one sees danger and conceals himself

It's not everywhere you apply that.

If everybody Did like that, you would still be under dictatorship.

We should be thankful that some people are braver than us.

This is one of the honest northerners.

NaMeAboki:
There you go again reasoning unintelligently without any logic at all.

Get this straight; the right to religion is guaranteed in the constitution, so you cannot deny Muslims their right to practice their religion whether in a Christian dominated state or not and vice versa for Christianity.

If we are to apply your logic of denying Muslims their rights in a Christian dominated state then you cannot complain about Katsina state (which is Muslim dominated) - even though it has not infringed on anybody's rights.

As already mentioned; alcohol is not a fundamental requirement in Christianity; therefore banning it in Katsina and others Sharia states is not an infringement on Christian rights

No, not at all, the constitution is not lopsided or incomplete - only you brain seems to be; because it is clearly incapable of logical and objective reasoning.

Just to make it quite clear: a state is free to make laws as it sees fit, provided such laws do not contradict the constitution; the sale and consumption of alcohol, among other things, is not protected by the constitution - I am sure you are not even aware that the FG has banned the sale and consumption of Ogogoro since 2018 for health reasons (it even made front made here in Nairaland).
https://www.nairaland.com/2365835/fg-bans-sale-consumption-local

Common sense is not common.

Let me break it down for you again.

Nigeria is a secular state, which supposedly guarantee the right of PEOPLE to practice their religion and lack of religion aa the case may be.

An atheist cannot force his lack of religion on a religious person , neither can a religious people force their religion on others.

That's what it means to be secular. That's what the constitution supposedly guarantee.

If you force your Islamic beliefs on non religious people in the north and ban the sale of alcohol to people who have no problem with it, you have flouted their rights.

It's not different from Wike waking up tomorrow and closing all the mosques because it annoys some Christians in the state.

Now, if the constitution protects the rights of Muslims to eat and drink what they want anywhere, but does not do the same for non religious PEOPLE or atheists or even liberal christians, then It is no longer secular.
It's now a theocratic constitution.

And the Nigerian constitution was meant to be secular.
It's just a failure of government and the judiciary that has hampered their total enforcement.

This is simple, but your fanaticism will not make you see it.

24SEVEN:
The Igbo is the reason Nigeria is where she is. An Igbo named J.T.U Aguiyi-Ironsi used a military decree to create this system of government that has kept Nigeria where She is.

Oh really.

A coup Of the early 60s is the reason why your trusted leaders have been looting and wrecking the country since then?

Does Ironsi have two heads?
Did he possess more powers than other heads of state and Presidents that came after?

Well since Igbo is the cause of the problem, elect an Igbo to correct it.

Apparently, Igbos are the only ones with balls to do what needs to be done.

Buhari was unelectable at a time.
He lost three times Back to back.

Losing now does not mean You can't win later.

24SEVEN:
No tribe has actively clamoured for secession except Igbos. Every Igbo is a biafran secessionist, just that some do theirs openly while others are closet secessionists. Such elements cannot truly be trusted.

Your trust is irrelevant.
We have seen how those you trusted have helped Nigeria.
Looting and destroying the country to the bare bones.

If you value your one-nigeria, an Igbo president is a must.

It should be as simple as that.

I expect Igbo leaders to be assertive.

erospecial:
Igboman can't replace buhari.
Igbos aren't ready because they lack quality characters to make for president.

Yes.

We can see the quality of buhari.

His brilliant education and individual achievement.

Go and tell the North West that they don't have quality characters and watch them drown you with almajiri votes.

na for south east your mouth dey draw.

loveth360:
Who will vote for this Igbo president?

The few Igbo one Nigerianist?

The hateful yolobas that want the downfall of every Igbo man?


The Abokis that will rather vote for Shekua of boko haram than voting for a qualified Igbo man?



Who exactly?

Nonsense talk.

You are buying into the inferiority complex.

If Igbo run for both PDP and APC, will an Igbo not emerge president?

Just stop talking.

Malami IS one of the most corrupt attorney generals in history.

When some people claim that northerners are honest, I can't see it.

I have never met a honest northerner.

I was walking on the street when I see N200 on the floor, I just walked by.

I looked back only to saw an abokiii okada man picking it up.

What we are seeing in Nigeria is a clash between the old and the new.

Old men who are used to military coups and dictatorship versus kids who have known democracy all their lives.

Both sides are stunned.

The old men are baffled by the insult and the audacity, while the kids are baffled by the realisation that their country was never a democracy.

When you listen to Femi adeshina talk about how buhari supposedly exercised restraints, you know this is the correct situation of things.

She is 100‰.

Having a form of democracy but denying the "power" thereof.

It looks like democracy, it just isn't democracy.

NaMeAboki:
Very silly and illogical comparison.
Salah or salat i.e. prayers is a religious obligation for Muslims guaranteed by the constitution; while production, sale and consumption of alcohol is not for Christians - hope you can appreciate the difference now.

Guaranteed by the constitution?
Really.
Going by your earlier logic, why should I care about Muslim rights in a Christian dominated state?
Many Christians don't have problem with alcohol.
So you are infringing on their rights.

The same constitution guarantee freedom of human rights.
Freedom to live anywhere in Nigeria without fear.

If a constitution guarantees you the right to be Muslims even in a deeply Christian state, but does not guarantee the rights of people to eat or drink what they want in certain States due to religious reasons, can't you see that that constitution is lopsided and incomplete.?

EdmundChidera:
If someone can identify a major product from this engineers, I will tell you when Nigeria will become better.





Our engineering researchers are nothing to write home about. Other countries are building, innovative and industrious but our own are good at getting degree, masters and PhD





Engineering is useless in Nigeria just like library science

What is the funding for education and research in Nigeria?

Starr from there.

The problem is not the seed, it's the soil.

So that means my divine wife may not even be in Nigeria.

Okay.

I guess that is the next king of the Yorubas.
