This is what you get when a country is united by a similar language, culture, and history. You live like one big family. African countries are not like this. The Europeans lumped hundrends of ethnic groups into one so that they fight each other for dominance. This way they can be easily controlled. This is what they used in the slave trade. The European slave owners mixed people from different ethnic group so that won't be united to oppose them. Today, France and England still colonise us.
European countries are split along ethnic lines. Even Scandinavian countries are not excluded.
Sweden is dominated by ethnic Swedes.
Norway is dominated by ethnic Norwegians.
Denmark is dominated by ethnic Danish.
Iceland is dominated by ethnic Icelandics.
Finland is dominated by ethnic Finns.
Greenland is dominated by ethnic Greenlandics.
Why can't ethnic Yorubas have their own country?
Why can't ethnic Igbos have their own country?
Why can't Hausas live on their own?
What we live together when we can do better on our own?

wink2015:
NIGERIA SHOULD BE RESTRUCTURED POLITICALLY.

TOO MUCH MONEY IS CONCENTRATED AT THE CENTRE WHICH IS MISAPPROPRIATED BY GREEDY POLITICIANS.

It is the north that is not prepared for restructuring that is causing all this stumbling blocks to political reforms in Nigeria.

Let Politicians go and struggle for opportunity at their own state level.

Come to think of it the Presidential system of government is too expensive for Nigeria as it drains all the money meant for development of people oriented projects in Nigeria.

Niyeal:
Well deserved

African players basically won the World Cup for France.

But in Africa, African players play football like headless chickens.

The problem of African football is obviously not due to a lack of raw talent.

It is a lack of quality football philosophy and organisation especially in the formative years of an individual player.

CAVEAT: This is my humble opinion after appraisal of the level of preparedness of all aspirants for the Presidency. It is without prejudice to the arrangement of Peoples Democratic Party and the 39 Coalition parties




In the build up of the election of 1979 preparatory to the commencement of the second republic, Chief Obafemi Awolowo of Unity Party of Nigeria was clearly seen as the most prepared among other aspirants for the Presidency, his campaign was ideological based, his policies were clearly spelt out and he was banking strictly on popular votes of the masses instead of military establishment as at then. However, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, a retired school teacher and former minister was returned elected instead. Till date, Chief Awolowo is referred to the best President Nigeria never had.

In 1993, famous philanthropist, Chief MKO Abiola, the Presidential candidate of Social Democratic Party had a clearly defined manifesto, his proposed policies were topnotch and in him Nigerians saw hope for better future. He was eventually elected via popular vote in the presidential election but the military establishment thwarted the project. Nigerians were once again denied the chance of enjoying the prospects of the MKO's Presidency.

In 1999, Dr. Alex Ekweme was clearly the most prepared presidential aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party, a political association that came into being with sole ideology of building bridges among citizens, forcing the military junta to the barracks and returning power to the people. However, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, upon his release from prison, was "gifted" the Presidential ticket to "appease" the southwest over the 1993 disappointment and travails of Chief MKO Abiola. Nigerians were again shortchanged optimal democratic dividends that would have been under Alex Ekweme.

In 2007, Alhaji Umaru Yar'adua (of blessed memory) was remotely uninterested in the Presidency but he was virtually dragged in by the powers that be as at then ahead of then Vice President Atiku Abubakar who happened to be the most prepared with clear manifesto, programs and vision.
Yaradua was christened "baba go slow" simply because he had to do his apprenticeship while staying on the job.

In 2010, Goodluck Jonathan was catapulted into power by providence after the death of Umaru Yar'adua. He was least prepared to be Vice President in 2007 and President as at then. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was clearly the most prepared for the office aheaf of 2011 Presidential election judging by his manifesto and proposed programs but due to some ethnical consideration (appeasement of SouthSouth/minorities) and some other political factors, Jonathan got the nod. He developed his key program while on the job without luxury of time.

In 2014, then opposition APC delegates elected Muhammadu Buhari as flagbearer, a man whose age-long campaign has always been instituting Shari'a system across the country and fighting corruption BUT without any blueprint on economy, unity among citizens irrespective of tribe and political consideration, restructuring of the system etc even though his party captured some. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar then of APC had these clearly spelt out but Buhari was elected simply because he commanded some cult followership in the northern part of Nigeria. Buhari eventually won the 2015 presidential election but he came along with ethno-religious unrest, economy meltdown, herdsmen-farmers clashes, breakdown in nationhood etc. In fact, the man had to distance himself from some promises made by his own party, including restructuring.

Of the legion of credible leaders running for the Presidency in 2019 in the opposition, I am of the opinion that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the only aspirant that has displayed the highest commitment and serious preparedness for the job. He can be identified with blueprint/ideology to work with (with due respect to others). For instance, he's known as chief promoter of restructuring and has a very wide public acceptance in contrast of what he had in 2007 and 2011.

He's the aspirant that has gone beyond issuing tweets on social media and has been outlining his programs to the understanding of the public.

Less than seven (7) months to the presidential election and two (2) months to the presidential primary, Atiku appears to be the only aspirant with known campaign team and presidential campaign office and has been working in alliance with interest groups across the 36 states and diaspora.

Considering that there is no luxury of time to gamble, I am of the my opinion that being the most prepared presidential aspirant, Atiku should be given the nod by the Peoples Democratic Party, the 39 Coalition parties and Nigerians so that we can have for the first time a president that is well preparing to lead instead of using the traditional religious, ethnic or political bias.

Furthermore, with Seven (7) months to general election, it is needless to promote an aspirant that is yet to display this level of preparedness irrespective of our relationship with such aspirant. I believe everyone can play their part in the new government to further the aspirations of Nigeria citizens.


May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

Hello Nairalanders. Plz pardon my errors. Moderators please help with advice from pple

I'm a 27 while my boyfriend is 34,we've only dated for 7 months and he proposed to me last week. But the problem is that we are 2 different people,what he want is different from what I want.

He is from a rich family that likes flashing things, he always tell me to use make up when I say make up it not just foundation and lipstick every time am going out which I don't like at all I prefer using powder and lipstick and I use to tell him that I don't know how to do make ups yet he said he will get me a make ups artist. I don't know how am going to cope with that. Anytime we are going to see his family member or friends, he will always want me to over dress like it's a wedding day.

He likes going party a lot and anytime he ask me I will make up some excuse not to go and I don't know how long I will continue giving him excuse cos am an indoor person i don't like going out at all I only go out whenever am an having important things, there was a time he discovered and accused me of been ashamed of him that why I hate going out with him and its not like that.
He likes people prying into our privacy anytime we had a misunderstanding he will ask one of his friends to beg me on his behalf and I hate this.

He always want me to wear clothes that fit his standard like wearing heavy jewelries expensive one ,high heels,(he use to buy them for me cos his a rich dude ) he want a luxurious life while I only want a simple life. He can do anything to mk me look good and classy, he is always ready to spend for that.


My problem is do you think I can adapt to his lifestyle when we get married as I like being simple. Am scared.

Na wa for you ooo! Can you see the kind of advice you are giving a 27 years old lady, who obviously needs improvement in her dressing life. And you are calling pple kids. I think this is d result of reading too much PERFECT-WORLD books. THE World is not perfect, deal with it.

It is easier to dish out some perfect-world ideas because you are a guy. When you see women in their 30s praying for come-as-you-are-guys, you will think twice. They are ready to foot the bills, pay for d welding, improve the guy's status, yet none is forthcoming.

There is nothing shameful or dehumanizing in making few adjustments here and there. Besides, you were born plain. Your present state now is as a result of adjustments. Love is first a sacrifice b4 anything else. If someone is finding it repulsive to shift ground because s/he has RIGHTS (and whatever name you pple call it), especially on libral things, it raises the question if there was love at all.

Baba this girl no get money, you still wnt menopause to visit her because of pompous ideas that are spread around by perfect-world books.

Fair enough - Pure thievery. Your solution however leaves room for us to be raped yet again. That's a colonialist mindset which we should endeavor to eradicate. Only we can help ourselves.

What is the impact of Deregulation on Labour in the Oil industry in Nigeria?

Pls can I get some contributions on this topic.

emwye:
Just a case of mismanagement. Equinor (formerly Statoil) was mostly owned by the Norwegian government. So is ARAMCO. We just dont know how to hold people accountable. They will only sell it to themselves and screw things up even further.

Icon4s:


Sell them off to.... who? Multinationals so that our common wealth as a nation will end up in the hands of foreigners? Or to only Nigerian business men who do not yet have the Capacity to delve into such ventures. How many of our financial institutions have the capacity to fund huge Capital Oil and Gas projects?

Icon4s:


Stop Monthly allocation and you think you can live in your house peacefully.

Icon4s:


Where do you think the monthly allocation that goes to the state government come from?

The fact is Nigeria is not ready to practice true federalism. But that is a different topic of discuss.

This MOU signed is for the benefit of Nigerians.

Icon4s:


So who oversees the State's equity interests in the Oil and Gas Ventures?

Icon4s:
Good move.

This will ensure a boost in both Domestic Gas Supply and LPG for export. More revenue for Nigeria.

High demand for Oil and Gas continues to outlive it's predicted lifespan.

In other News, space Bookers how market? This is not your kind of gist. Hahaha
