Then let them be alive in that dimension. There's no difference between a dead man and a dead cat or stone in this dimension.

Focus on the living

Quintessence44:
Actually you are wrong.

So called dead people are alive in another dimension.

They are more alive than you.

Why are you worrying about dead people?

Focus on the living! Chinua Achebe has no knowledge of whats going on

Tellmeastory:
The FG must name something big in this country after the legendary Professor Chinua Achebe.

I am a great fan and reader of Wole Soyinka, by the way, so this is not based on any beef with the great Nobel-winning writer, who certainly earned the right to have the National Theatre named after him by President Tinubu.

But we must not put Chinua Achebe, the Booker Prize winning author of Africa’s greatest novel, Things Fall Apart, in the position of the proverbial lizard of his great book who fell from the tall iroko tree, and promised to praise himself if no one else did.

That book is Required Reading in the curricula of schools all over the world, from Kenya to the USA.

It has been translated into over 100 languages worldwide, and remains till date, the biggest selling novel by an African, bringing great honour to Nigeria.

Achebe was also an erudite advocate for good governance and govt accountability.

According to wiki

“Chinua Achebe…. was a Nigerian novelist, poet, and critic who is regarded as a central figure of modern African literature. His first novel and magnum opus, Things Fall Apart (1958), occupies a pivotal place in African literature and remains the most widely studied, translated, and read African novel.

Along with Things Fall Apart, his No Longer at Ease (1960) and Arrow of God (1964) complete the "African Trilogy".

Later novels include A Man of the People (1966) and Anthills of the Savannah (1987).

In the West, Achebe is often referred to as the "father of African literature", although he vigorously rejected the characterization.“

Gentlemen, we must honour this man.

Supreme Court should not ratify fraudulent elections.

Both INEC and SIEC should be reformed so that results are transmitted in real time and voting is by biometrics. I don't have all the answers but whatever is required to make votes count 100% should be done.

For cost management, INEC and SIEC can use same material like BVAS and IREV

Kobojunkie:
LOL.... So, it is no longer to remove SIEC from State hands but to reform it. Ok, in what way can SIEC be reformed and why would you need the Supreme Court to make that happen?

Not cancel the state electoral commission or INEC but reform both so that credible and transparent elections are guaranteed.

In all honesty, without credible elections, forget development even in a 1000yrs

Kobojunkie:
So should we also cancel INEC because pepple have also complained numerously of election rigging at federal level?

Was this not what was on Frontpage yesterday that a Nigerian woman gave her oyinbo husband?

saveman91:

When the uprising will come soonest, you guys will stop politics and face governance

Sonnobax15:

No be only distraction....

In fact,na refraction and erection

All of a sudden,they now know there's hunger in the land simply because supreme court removed food from their hands

Werey people.

Seems we're talking of two different persons. We're talking of Prof Odinkalu's interview on Channels.

His point is if elections at the local govt are not credible and the outcome always favors the party of governors, then nothing will change.

Bottomline is Nigeria's problem is lack of credible elections(vote don't count) and as such the politicians are not accountable to the people

Kobojunkie:
There is nothing"spot on' about any of what he said as he was merely repeating the same narrow-minded solution that had been fed him by politicians over the years.

Let me put it to you this way. It is utter foolishness to delete/repeal the law in an attempt to resolve an illegallity. What the Governors did was illegal. That is the stance of the Law. Calling for a change in the same laws as a solution is stewpidity.

@* The Constitution does not bestow the right to dip into LG accounts to Governors. This means that a Governor who does so does so against the Law and as such should be penalized for it.
@* The Constitution does not grant Governors right to decide as far as LG elections. This means that all Governors who meddle with elections at the Local or National levels do so against the Constitution. ...

... I can go on but the point is the lack of respect for the Constitution by the people on both sides of this is at the root of this and so many other issues in Nigeria.

You're talking what you don't know

lordm:
Please leave obi alone. He didn't conduct lg elections during his time, so commenting on the issue will not favour him

He is solidly clean thats why he did not play to the gallery

sIfioksq:
Looks like Obi's saintly image isn't as squeaky clean as we thought.

My Igbo women are too wicked. I'm saying this as an Igbo person. Our women own too much

You dont like Jonathan, inspite of all he achieved. You're a wicked person for supporting Tinubu,
the heavyweight champion of incompetence and corruption

EreluRoz:
Peter Obi will be happy wherever he is now. Umahi stop running your mouth there are enemies everywhere. The mess Jonathan and Buhari created is a big one that'll take a while to clear off. It's not easy

To look but not to see!

I can only tell you a better choice but I'll not convince you because you're not immuned from the consequences.

Regarding those people asking Reno questions he responds to especially Igbo people, i still maintained that those questions may have been staged

ajailer:
You folks seems unable to comprehend that unlike you guys, money is not everything to everyone. Respect and honor me first before we can then start talking about money. Not everyone is getting paid for their opinion but the delusion you guys are under is on a grand scale. Respect people for their choice and from there you might be able to buy them over with your argument but NO, you prefer to insult those you can't and don't feed. You guys are incapable of doing this cos your intentions are not genuine enough. What is my own there sha other than to let you guys keep fooling yourselves..... using the same tactics that has been failing you since pre independence and expecting a different result from what you keep getting.

E go shock una.

Watch!

flokii:
They are planning to destabilize the North so they can use it to campaign against PBAT ahead of 2027.. what they fail to realize is that their fellow Northerners will be the ones to skin them and their family members alive.
Other regions are moving forward, they want to use their selfish political agenda to continue killings and terrorism in the North.. we go see how the whole thing go play na.

With LGA autonomy in force now, no 'tin god' like El-rufai can hold people hostage again. The progressives in North will move against their evil plan and with the help of Mr. Preaident, they will suffer shame and disgrace.

Nigeria has gone past the era of using destructive politics to get into power.. this is 2024 not 60s'.. Forward evet, backward never!!

He is not wrong, he is spot on.

Did you watch the interview?

Kobojunkie:
He is wrong! Learn your own Constitution so you can easily spot the issues created by these people you listen to.

This will actually make things worse because number of looters has increased drastically

Validated:
There has been a lot of buzz about LGA autonomy as if it will change anything. The LGA Chairmen are all selected by the State Governors.

Until State Independent Electoral Commissions are scrapped, there will be no autonomy. As long as State governors select LGA chairmen in the name of LG elections, nothing has changed..
By the way, why is the Supreme Court silent on the LCDAs?

Anyway, I can imagine that this is the only achievement by the Tinubu government in the last 1 year plus of monumental disaster. Having plunged the economy into an abysmal state, a Supreme Court Judgement is Worth celebrating in the midst of significant and unprecedented failure.

What makes you think the standard of living would change?

It would be worse and Tinubu would take the blame like fuel subsidy removal

Atuero:
I am a little bit skeptical and confused as regards the way Tinubu supporters have been rejoicing over the supreme Court judgement on the financial Autonomy of the local government in Nigeria which has been existing in the Constitution of the land but neglected over the years.


The question that comes to my mind is since the Judiciary is an independent arm of Government, are they not the body to take the accolades for such courageous and historical judgement?........... those praising Tinubu on the judgement, doesn't it mean He interferes and influences the Judiciary?

I don't think this is part of the responsibility of the executive arm of Government who should be busy making policies and developing strategies that will make life easy for the citizens.

Don't be surprised those people are paid to make it seems like he is responding to genuine questions

Mercenary123:
Why do igbos still engage this clown despite knowing that the more you engage him the worse he becomes

For me, this guy doesn't exist

Shamelessness.

Servitude

Stockholm

helinues:
Okay. Next is to force dailypost to retract this like vanguard did. It was a misquoted statement

Paid group

Celebrating a fake LG autonomy while all indices continue to plummet!

Hehehehe...you just wan kpai yourself for nothing.

obinna58:
I can swear with my life that you’re a lady

Loool. I'm a man

obinna58:
You’re an average wicked Nigerian girl

Really sad.

Hope we implement necessary reforms to prevent future occurrence

There's no greater understanding than experience

obinna58:
No, People need to understand the consequences of their actions

People need to take responsibility their actions.

Thank you consequence!

obinna58:
Your signature said it all

Maybe, maybe not. If he was alone, when he wakes up, that would be a necessary turning point.

obinna58:
Should she have left him to suffer the consequences of his irresponsibility

That guy is an irresponsible guy

obinna58:
This is how you identify women’s true love ❤️, average Nigerian woman will blame/fault him and leave him to dine in his misery

When no tangible reward comes, don't blame the governors or anybody but Tinubu

raskymonojendor:
This your excuse is zero because Atiku also took the case to supreme court...

And this is a win for Nigeria, and not a win for the supreme court. You saw the video of Abia people jubilating despite the state being LP. They understand that you don't cut off your nose to spite the head.

How can it be all Nigerian women? Starting your comment with this already killed your point.

BTW, its applicable to most Nigerian women irrespective of tribes esp Southern women

chrisxxx:
It is not all Nigerian women. It is women from a particular tribe the prioritises money over all things. Even in their husband's house offer them good money they will bed you. They think that there God given asset is for Monday making. I never mentioned any tribe. There are over 200 tribes in Nigeria.

Lunacy!

Do not deflect! National newspapers are deleting 10yrs ago report just to please one man

Freetech:
Which Nigerian?

I only read comment of mannerless children of biafra, ipob terrorist.

As long as you ppl want Nigeria to burn just because your package fraud lost election, you will never find peace or prosperity in Nigeria

Even if you japa, its for more affliction.

Why are you all filled with so much gall. On every forum you speak evil of Nigeria making it difficult for sane Nigeria to get respect and favour outside Nigeria.

Meanwhile it's still your people commiting heinous crimes all the world. Kidnapper, drug, robbery, ugm canibalism etc.

Supreme Court just pronounced the illegitimate president wish.

Supreme Court is compromised. Obi will rightly ignore[quote author=opamoses1 post=130925097][/quote]

EFCC pretending to fight corruption!
