explains y only a total of 300k or more peeps voted in anambra compared to the registered 1million voters. we need to change our thinking and also advance in terms of elections and the use of computers

Foxy_flow, we could change things by agitating and creating awareness online, by ensuring we dont let issues we raise fade off, rather re-visiting these issues time and time ova til they are resolved. Lets have a peaceful vendetta, and start from somewhere.

keep bickering y'all. i want to see the first personn who will lead the call for the break up of the country physically. Not read your rants online. So annoyning to realize that y'all are brave behind your computer screens or phones. Nonsense, let that 2015 come, let us see the people who will fight for the break up now, cowards

i need info on android kitkat and how i can upgrade my n3 to it

it was exhaustive reading the tirades, my brain almost melted, cos most peeps esp fulaman and olamag...... all left the bone of contention to bicker like rival market women. some raised salient points while others were screaming for a break-up. i daresay, are you ready for the break-up? or events that would follow?
As much as the country is in disarray , what have we as individuals done to correct the anomalies? Have we cast aside religious, ethnic bigotry?
what stops these same issues from rearing their ugly heads in Arewa republic or Oduduwa( mind u am yoruba, but if we wanna break, beta name no day?) and Biafra?

my point being that the problem of this country aint the name or location, but the people, both hausa igbo or yoruba. all over,we celebrate mediocrity, worship nepotism and hate hard work, rule of law, order etc. we all are guilty, and the worst part is allowing the past be the present, we fought a war, yeah, so? we should continue to live in its shadow? the igbos are this? so? is it all of them that are like that? hausa are that? and so?. seeing a beta sise is impossible cos we all dwell in that miserable past.

and the leaders? purported leaders, heating up the polity, (just because one mumu youth will collect money for gin and then start behaving like a rabid dog) think they are the in-thing. why dont we start with them? show them who dictates and gives credence to their statue of leadership? hold them accountable, and disgrace them, remive the toga of office and make them irrelevant and toothless dogs.

for me, all these talk about northern marginalization is crap, and the born to rule syndrome. its performance that matters. when i say performances, its not constructing markets or buying shoe for the shoeless, its not distributing two or three kongas of rice and ponmo, and calling it dividends of democracy. rather its formulation and implementation of laudable projects that will enhance and grow the econmony, increase life expectancy, create numerous job opportunities and secure lives. Anybody from any (sic) region can do that, so if you are hausa, igbo or yoruba and you can provide such, why should i begrude myself with sentiment and lose a lifetime opportunity?
God bless Nigeria jare, if you want this country to break up, na your house or home go first break up

@misterman, you are welcome from your ban. Most people have asked how you cam help out with editing their cv, could you please address that? Thank you

To tink that some of you here arguing even have kids at home befuddles me. I dont support pdp, nor apc, but its plain that they all are thieves. buhari, jonathan shid be like your son's agemate, yet you wan day follow am drag power, smh. and who made all these coup plotters relevant in society?
what hurts is they term themselves progressive,but dnt show signs of it. na wa ooooo. and some fathers will come online to fool themselves, so painful

eaxes:
Been sanitised from birth motherfu**cker plus i have civilised parents that trained ♍є̲ well Ãήϑ arε̲̣̣̣̥ progressives unlyk most baboonish nigerians lyl U̶̲̥̅̊.

if your parents are civilised, how come they never taught you manners, or should i say you refused to be taught? Cos you find it easy to insult all nigerians. I guess the yoruba proverb about the house being calm only because the *omo ale* hasnt grown up yet is true in your case. If you have an iota of intelligence at all, would you classify and insult all nigerians? because you think you are beta than them? Because you have access to the internet? Grow up

juman: One nigeria by all levels and all standards is a senseless country.

To hell with one nigeria.

onye_okwu: why is it that when it comes to se/ss isuses the outsiders from these zone will lump ss igbos as a different people from igbos of se
but when its comes to ne/nw they are all hausa/funali they all one north or arewa what a hypocrisy?

what is actually wrong with yoraba people?
for there information ss or whatever they call themselves Niger delta or what ever can go with them to the Oduduwa for all i care we dont even need them in our country biafra we dont want to build a country with lazy mofos

juman: One nigeria by all levels and all standards is a senseless country.

To hell with one nigeria.

skewered thinking

seeing people discuss the state of the country and its solution makes me laugh. Please for a serious analysis, peeps shud indicate and let us jaw jaw, and not throw insults or be bigotd. Just indicate and i will engage you intellectually

99/100:
Nigeria itself was built on tribal path.Op stop deceiving urself.U just can't change it.
Who isn't tribalistic? And who says being a tribalist is a crime?
Seun,Sexkillz,op etcetera etcetera can't help it.
It has always been d trend but what i realise is that The polity only got heated when d Igboman
joined d race for self protection.
The Ahmadu Bello's,Awolowo's are all tribalist/bigots.
#Seun is blameless#

And because they choose to be bigots, you have to be? These peeps you mentioned have been dead for decades now, yet you allow yourself to be influenced by their actions(an archaic sentiment). ooooo Weep beloved Country

Not only did he capture living conditions accurately in nigeria when he wrote Violence, his narrative technique had a magnetic pull that glued his readers attention. in the novel Violence, there was a play that explained violence, hitting out at the ills in the society, corruption etc. A pity he became a victim of this same violence. I do not care if he was right or wring in his belief and struggle, but if you cant create life, how would you value one Adieu Sir

naija has probs, admitted, but do we say because of dat we leave the eagle that is hovering over to kill, n castigate the mother hen or chase away the eagle n den insult mother hen?
someone mentioned travelling all over, dat nigerians are known for drug peddling, but you convienently forgot to mention their own crimes, for instance brazil, dats inferiority complex ooo chairman, face it. enuf examples of the crimes perpetrated in nigeria by these indians have been mentioned, but you turn a blind eye to it. despite all, has a nigerian killed any indian in the country if nah your brother nko? and remember the dead nigerian cant defend himself, who knows if they are just trying to implicate him
for the case of drug peddling, who creates the market? the user or the peddler? if the user no gree buy, market go day for the peddler?
also, no country way nigeria no fit face, be ut the uk,us,brazil,SA or even india. dnt come here to talk shit. Abi no be UK bond dem reverse so, or the south african ish, or during obj's tenure, the faceoff btw naija and us over the gulf of guinea or bight of biafra

basilo101: SW & SS will suffer most in d absence of oil. North- gud in agriculture. SE- gud in trade and local manufacturing

dumbest post ever. Maybe u nid to make a concise n detailed research

pls, it wud be best for anyone who knws what the post entails i.e job details, pay etc to state them. i believe thats what the thread is for

lygn19:
If we Igbo's re against d yoruba' pls I want u to go tru dz article, gotten from NEWYORK TIMES, by a yoruba man about Nigeria.

Nigeria’s Talking Shop
By ADEWALE MAJA-PEARCE
October 24, 2013
LAGOS — Mine is a country of 175 million people, who speak
more than 500 languages and are renowned for their inability
to get along. Blame usually falls on colonial map makers, and it
is well-deserved. But the reasons for our national discord are
complex — certainly much too complicated for most of the
international media to fathom — so news accounts of the
multiple antipathies among our 250 ethnic groups are usually
telescoped into what is known in the trade as boilerplate: the
Muslim North battles the mostly Christian South for control
of Nigeria’s oil wealth.
As a journalist, I know the difficulties of summarizing the
world’s mad doings. Take the bewildering violence of Boko
Haram. I’m as confused as anyone by the Islamic terrorist
movement’s motivations, tactics and goals — perhaps because
they themselves seem just as confused. In the beginning they
were against southern Christians living in the north, and blew
up churches to prove it. Now they’ve gone beyond attacking
establishment figures to slaughtering their own people — even
children — on the grounds that they are against Western
education.
Though he won’t exactly admit it, our president, Goodluck
Jonathan, shares this confusion, but — given the dignity of his
office and the reality that elections are little over a year
away — he apparently feels he must make a show of shoring up
national unity. Thus, earlier this month, Mr. Jonathan
inaugurated the Advisory Committee on National Conference/
Dialogue. The name is unwieldy, the goals uncertain, and the
chances of success dubious.
The fact is that our divisions are more nebulous than we
Nigerians are sometimes inclined to admit. There are, for
example, as many Muslims as Christians among the Yoruba
people in the south. Still, it would be unfair to suggest that
Nigerians, like people everywhere, don’t have stereotypes
about our fellow countrymen.
I happen to be a member of the “fun-loving” Yoruba (as the
British characterized us back in the early days of colonialism).
We have a reputation for being hotly argumentative,
charmingly treacherous and highly pragmatic, as loose in our
morals as we are in our religion — at least according to the
Igbo, the other dominant ethnic group in the south. On the
other hand, it is said by some Yoruba that the Igbo would be
willing to sacrifice their own parents in the pursuit of money,
which they get largely by trading, sometimes in drugs.
As for all the “minorities” in between, there’s no telling what
they get up to in their myriad languages, which few
understand, even if we all speak English.
So what, then, was the reasoning behind the president’s call
for dialogue — a call that took everybody by surprise? For one
thing, the timing was odd: Why, after 53 years of
independence, after civil wars, military coups, rivalries over
oil, Boko Haram’s murderous insanities and the brutal military
response that may well tear the country apart, do we suddenly
need such a conference?
Actually the answer is simple. We don’t, but the president
does. Elections are expected in early 2015, and Mr. Jonathan
intends to run for a second, four-year term. But civil chaos
and spreading corruption scandals do present certain
difficulties. Still, Mr. Jonathan is a schooled politician, and it
is clear that he has learned his lessons on how to navigate
through seemingly unsolvable problems: When you need to
divert popular attention and buy time, you can always call ... a
conference!
The president has been careful not to spell out any specifics.
He has merely constituted an advisory committee to
deliberate on “the nomenclature, structure and modalities” of
the eventual Commission for a Dialogue or Conference.
Nigerians are taking this bureaucratic gobbledygook in stride:
The conference is widely dismissed as just another “talking
shop.”
If national unity is so important, many people are asking, what
stopped Mr. Jonathan from calling for one at the beginning of
his tenure? Few of us are really fooled; we understand the
realities of power in a country where the scramble for office
is a do-or-die affair. Political power, after all, is the only
game in town that ensures unfettered access to the nation’s
oil riches.
Yet it would be unfair to suggest that Mr. Jonathan has
overseen the most corrupt government in Nigeria — not least
because it would be difficult to be more corrupt than its
predecessors. According to the United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime, between independence in 1960 and the
return of democracy in 1999, Nigeria’s leaders and their
accomplices stole close to $400 billion.
Nevertheless, recent scandals offer plenty of room for
comparison. One concerns newspaper accounts alleging that
Nigeria’s minister for petroleum resources, Diezani Alison-
Madueke, routinely awards crude oil contracts to hastily
registered companies fronted by people not previously known
to be involved in the industry.
Another involves accusations that the aviation minister, Stella
Oduah, squandered $1.6 million on two bulletproof cars worth
about a quarter of that amount. This comes just weeks after
yet another fatal plane crash, the seventh under her watch.
Repeated calls for the dismissal of these ministers have been
ignored.
Nigeria is convening a conference on national unity when we
should be clamoring to end the corruption that lies so close to
the heart of our ethnic, sectarian and civil discord. The
decision to empanel a “talking shop” made of handpicked
delegates who are uncertain about the exact nature of their
assignment — beyond the fact that it will continue to provide
them with their own slice of the national cake — fools no one.
Given the ever-present danger of Nigeria’s implosion —
brought about by militants in the oil-producing Niger Delta,
Islamic fundamentalists in the northeast, ethnic cleansing in
the north central region and kidnappers everywhere you turn
— we fractious Nigerians are unified by one salient truth: We
all know that we cannot continue like this.

typical of you to ignore my point, the op gave a link that talks about a strike byminu bus owners, yet he summarized a story that just might be a fraud. your link is about the yoruba man and what he tinks. not what others tink. surely you should him accountable for his views and not the view of the majority. his accusation seems to ring true concerning you.

is it me or the link or rather source if the news talks about mini bus operators protesting in abuha, and you all are here fighting and debating crap, exhibiting dumbness of a particular high order. why this country is the way it is has just been displayed by you idiots to the world. you all scream tribe and shit. wanna ask if the yoruba man's blood green, or the igbos immortals? same bloody sentiments rather than objectivity that drove this country to war, still rules your mind. igbos here claim yoribas are thieves and cowards, Bleep that shit, you lot know that this same character is pervalent amongst you,same goes for the claims of yorubas. being human makes you just what and who you?. so what is it with the bullshit fighting?
damn, i just tire for una oooi

for me, i dont feel any sympathy 2wards dem, also for ova 3 decades, they have been receiving free curses from the whole populace, did they tink d curses wont throw sum troubles their way?

igbeke:
non of those, only Jah can do dem.
Say thank you to him atleast for bn d "face" of d goose dat lays d golden egg for Nigeria.
dont forget, even most states in d SW may extint shud d SS changes its mind concerning dis whole damn thing called Nigeria.

broda, dnt embarass yourself in public, d truth is, let jonathan withhold allocation from most sw states and u'd be shocked to discover that they would survive, including osun state. infact most states in nigeria wud, providing they sit up and utilize both resources (not necesarily "oyel" and man power

igbeke:
dat was quite stup!d of u. what made u tink GEJ will do dat? u never can téll d length to wich some polititians cud go in order to win d sympathy of d masses.
btw, dont eva insult GEJ's lineage again. d least expected from yoruba ingrates like u is to say to GEJ: "thank you sir".

thank you for what? givin him breath? or life?

iykak47: Stop making noise, when Sani Abacha unleashed terror on you guys, your fellow cowards disguised as farmers when they were running away from Nigeria through Seme border, if you doubt ask your demigod Tinubu.

I don't blame you, I blame Jonathan for being too lenient.

really, those guys atleast talked and said their minds, i wonder where u were??

just got there sms now, and searched online for the name of the company. thanks guys
