mrvitalis:GDP growth that was occasioned by high percentage rise in price of crude oil? Hahaha. You don't judge your performance by what you didn't make conscious efforts to achieve. It is like someone winning a lottery and using that as a metric to rate his productivity. You must be a comedian |
mrvitalis:I am very likely older than you. Seems you were born in the early 2000s hence your assumption that PDP is the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria |
mrvitalis:What names did Yoruba people ever call OBJ? If anything, Afenifere even later prevailed on Olu. falae to withdraw his suit against OBJ's victory on the excuse of "Egbon wa ni" meaning "After all, he is still out son" going by how it was translated to us back then as non Yorubas in Lagos. In addition, the same Afenifere mounted pressure on the AD not to even put forward a candidate for 2003 so that all Yorubas could support OBJ. Only Tinubu took exception and that led to his breaking ranks with Afenifere to fuse his own loyalty base of AD with some Northern minor parties and later with Buhari's CPC to become APC. The truth you are finding very difficult to see about APC is that it is a party trying to get Nigeria to face reality and stop subsidizing the greed of both the masses and the political class. Of course it is a very hard choice that will be difficult to pursue let alone achieve. During PDP era, nearly everything was subsidized to the detriment of the economy and in the end it bred entitlement mentality which has now become a virus in the reasoning of the average Nigerian. APC is trying to make fundamental changes which PDP glossed over all through its time. The LGA autonomy pursuit, the push for restructuring, the advent of modular refineries, etc are some of these policies. PDP was openly against restructuring which is actually the panacea to all our problems in this country so why should any sincere and honest person give PDP a good place in Nigeria's history? |
mrvitalis:Hope Uzodinma was declared governor by the courts and immediately an unprecedented level of violence enveloped Imo State till today because his party APC is perceived by you folks as Yoruba party. You kept on derogatorily calling him Supreme Court governor of, Uzodinjo, slave of Yoruba Fulanis, etc. You kept on shedding blood in Imo State, killing and maiming anyone who appears to be supporting Hope Uzodinma's government, etc. As soon as Umahi joined APC you began to hate him and label him Yoruba slave. For daring to identify with APC you labeled Joe as Joe Yorubakwe, burnt his house in Nnewi and declared his life endangered should he step into the SE ever again. Rochas became OkoroHausa for joining APC and so on. If you so hate your own and don't mind killing them when their choices appear to be pro-Yoruba political camp, why should we vote any of them into Aso Rock and risk having the entire SE region becoming a war zone all through his tenure? |
mrvitalis:How does your first line change the fact that your voting of OBJ was anti Yoruba move? Didn't you Igbos also vote for an almost illiterate Tofa against Abiola a first class Accountancy graduate from The University of Glasgow? So much for a people who voted for the best candidates. |
mrvitalis:Igbos' backing of a Yoruba man (OBJ) was actually a way to fight Yoruba as OBJ was actually the very candidate Yorubas didn't want. Backing Yaradua was also indirectly an anti-,Fulani move. |
Heishere:Grave robber. Hmmmmm |
vanbonattel:Per the bolded, the setting of high entrance scores for the natives of SE states is a fall out of the phenomenon that among the six regions in Nigeria, the SE states have the lowest ratio of state owned public schools to the number of children from the region seeking admission into public schools all over the country. What it simply therefore means is that the governors of the SE states traditionally don't care much about establishing public primary and secondary schools as much as the other five regions do hence children from the SE seeking admission into state owned public schools and FG owned unity schools are too many for the public schools available in their home region hence they tend to migrate to the other five regions to seek admission into public schools thus bringing pressure from their own region to other regions. Of course these other regions must find a way to take care of their own indigenous admission seekers first before outsiders hence they have to set up high entrance scores for the SE migrants hence a way to morally question the governors of the SE states and wake them up to their responsibility. It is actually worrisome that even Northern States have more state owned public schools than SE states.

OALandAgents: |
emmanuelewumi:That stock is still managing to rally despite the recent bonus issue. It is a sign of strength |
MARKETJJC:I recall he was accused of not supporting his opinion with any data or other evidence despite he made himself clear that his call on OANDO was purely prophetic (Spiritual Analysis) |
Please where is Prophet Utuocha who kept on prophesying that OANDO would surprise everyone and that people will seek it and not find? |
OALandAgents:I must acknowledge at this point that you are the first Igbo person I have come across saying it exactly as it is without sentiments as far as Obasanjo relationship with Igbo is concreted. You are very realistic and candid in your opinion and that is just the truth. Obasanjo is actually responsible for the inability of Igbo to clinch presidency but he keeps playing on their intelligence with words while they too keep falling for it. There were a lot of accomplished and distinguished Igbos like Soludo, Ngige, Anyim Pius Anyim, etc whom Obasanjo could and should have picked as Yaradua's running mate instead of Jonathan who was far less cerebral than these Igbo personalities. |
victorDanladi:You are not alone in that. But I think it is all because Obasanjo seems to hate and always prefer to frustrate Yoruba interests hence Igbos and Obasanjo are united by hate for Yoruba interest. |
mrvitalis:Tinubu too was a special case then. After all there is strong evidence that Obasanjo is not really Yoruba. |
mrvitalis:Those who went to negotiate with the Noth was the Akintola faction of AD. If you had read history very well you would have come across why Akintola did so which was that three years before independence the about to depart colonial overlords had set up a shadow indigenous government headed by Tafawa Balewa with Akintola holding a ministerial portfolio in it hence Akintola was already used to the filthy lucre of public office and therefore couldn't imagine himself being out of government in a fully fledged indigenous Nigeria Government which was about to be installed. So, seeing that the pendulum held more hope of swinging to the Dominant NPC direction, he taught it more realistic to seek alliance with Ahmadu Bello that join Awolowo in his NCNC-AG coalition proposal. |
Murketeer:Good. Then the zoning you are basing your turn on now is in which part of the constitution? |
anungangampu:So those who got Ngige kidnaped as a sitting governor were doing what kind of politics if not do or die? |
megawealth01:If it really drops to N10, you may still not load because by that time you'll start having the feeling that it could still drop further. That is always the attitude of the average investor. Remember those who, during COVID-19 days, were waiting for Zenith to drop further still below the N8+ it fell to? |
MARKETJJC:Historical sentiments |
mrvitalis:Igbos respect zoning but we're loudest in defending Jonathan's decision to contest in 2010 against the need for a Northerner to have succeeded Yaradua. Funny. |
OALandAgents:Just as Igbos have had it militarily but never democratically, the Southern minorities never had it militarily but democratically, so it is still a balance. In addition, to have it democratically is never on a platter of gold but careful strategizing and building of bridges. Igbos are failing on this because they use emotions, blackmail on others ethnicities, and secession threats. |
mrvitalis:Was the Jonathan who first disrupted zoning a Yoruba man? Is zoning part of our laws? |
mrvitalis:Your accusal of Yoruba of shutting the Middle Belt-South alliance is at best dishonest because that alliance was proposed right from independence by the Yoruba leadership with the offer that Igbos would be the beneficiary but the Igbo leadership scuttled it for a reason which is still difficult for any right thinking person to make any sense from. You can't now suddenly turn around after 64 years to ask for what you rejected and thwarted when it really mattered most. |
opamoses1:I thought they say Murtala Mohamed was Hausa? |
freemanq:All honest Nigerians know and acknowledged that the only policy that will bring about a working Nigeria with an excellent economy is the policy of refederalization otherwise known more commonly as return to true federalism. We began with this true federalism anchored on a federal constitution but it was an Igbo man that first tampered with it and introduced military rule which eventually destroyed it. So how exactly can anyone be correct to say that Igbos want a working economy and a better Nigeria? |
yMcy56:For those who missed out on OANDO, their problem is that they have no use at all for SA which is actually what drives NGX to as much as 80%. |
GeeKudi:Okay. Let me try again |
Am I the only one not able to find Morgan Capital login this morning? What exactly is happening? |
Tunde835:An Igbo man was the second person to rule this country. In fact that Igbo man tasted power 12 clear years before any other Southerner got the opportunity. Even the next Southerner to clinch power is very likely to be an Igbo man genetically, and the same genetically possible Igbo man once again ruled in this democracy. The people who have really suffered in this country are the Southern minorities who never tasted presidency except through an accidental means which is not likely to come their way again. |
