In the Southeast, there has never been any - Muslim Governor *NEVER - Muslim deputy Governor *NEVER - Muslim Speaker of house of Reps *NEVER - Muslim Deputy Speaker *NEVER - Muslim Attorney General *NEVER - Muslim Commissioner *NEVER - Muslim Local government chairman *NEVER
since 1999 when democracy started till today.
Yet we Igbos are the ones championing all kinds of hate and propaganda against Muslim/Muslim ticket of Tinubu/Shettima but in our own region, we only vote Christian/Christian ticket, even when there are Igbo Muslims among us. We hate and ostracize them completely. Then you have the guts to say nobody should vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket?
Even Kaduna that is a core Muslim state has had Christian Governor and Christian deputy governor before since 1999, and Christians holding several major political posts across the North.
Nigerian Muslims wake up now and vote for Tinubu /Shettima for presidency 2023. Don't let Muslim haters blackmail you with lies. Defend your religion. Being a Muslim is not a crime.
Sincerely, Igbo Christian man from Nnewi, Anambra!

And you will soon see a lot of it in Nigeria, meanwhile we don't produce anything. Talking of capital flight. I weep for my dear country. Since our anthem moved from motherland to fatherland, everything became to your tents oh israel.
I seem not to understand this Rhino of a man. 1st you said that they are wasting their time. My question is, Why are you wasting your time on people who are wasting their time?
wheelzcoded: I've been in love with my friend's sister for a year now, the whole family are cool with me. I and the girl has been so close , we fight, settle, she apologizes immediately when she's wrong, I do too , when we're together there's no boring moments as she keeps creating funny jokes and discussions even if I'm out of words.
So many times I try to understand and dictate signs she loves me , even situations where there are guys with cars whenever we're walking and they stop to talk to her , the reactions from her shows to them she's my girlfriend. Even though we both know we're not dating.
Many times people tend to ask her the state of the relationship or who am I to her , sometimes she says her boyfriend, sometimes her manager because we're in a business together.
My question here is despite she being supportive and understanding, can a lady go into a biz with a guy who she doesn't see the future with? Like she does more of the commitment than I do sef, whenever I talk about the future she doesn't laugh she only says if it's God's plan no one can stop it but she always tells me "I'm not ready for a relationship now, you're not my boyfriend, I just need to focus on my growth"
This is one girl that understands my kinda person and I do understand her too We fight and settle just immediately.. so many times I lockup and don't want to talk to her she does the checkups and communication. I'm not pushy, the stuff is just balanced .
Even encourages more and sacrifice for me like a wife even some girlfriend's wouldn't do for their boyfriend's...
Few days to my birthday she wrote on her status "My love's birthday is loading"". Soon I viewed it she deleted it .
How long can I keep accepting this you're not my boyfriend words and I'm your girlfriend attitudes....
Enesis: His citizen is by birth Sir. He's a feather weight politician Sir. He contested for the last PDP gubernatorial primaries in Kaduna state & got zero vote.
Ok now I get your drift. His only sin is that he is a feather weight politician. But you and I know that if you don't throw the cash the delegates won't throw the votes. It's vice versa. But he may prefer to give such money and more to improve the lives of others through charity, hospitality, education, etc. If he plays ball and spends $50,000,000 to secure the seat. How will he recoup the money?? If not to divert public funds? Aid people to divert on his behalf. Obama was featherweight but because USA is different, he clinched the ticket. Today history still remembers him. Let's tell ourselves the truth. If buying of delegates is eradicated entirely from our politics, do you think that he would have gotten zero vote?
Enesis: Yusuf Datti Baba - Ahmed is a original Mauritanian. His father was an Islamic scholar that came from Mauritania & settle @ Zaria. His elder brother is Hakeem Baba - Ahmed the Secretary of NEF. Am from the north I have fact in what am writing. Just Google & do research about the Baba - Ahmed family from Zaria you will see things for yourself. His late father came from Mauritania & settle at Zaria.
So ok. He secured citizenship by birth. Countries do it then. USA, Canada even Ghana. Even Obama secured his by birth. I really don't think it disqualifies him. Another question since you are closer to him, has he in any way worked against the country In terms of supporting terrorism, saying or acting in anyway against the secular nature of the country. Working against constituted authorities. Looting the Treasury or even aiding the looters etc.
Enesis: I rather vote for a Fulani man or Muslim - Muslim ticket than to vote for a Biafran who does not believe in one Nigeria. No true Nigerian can ever be the running mate to Pity Obi that's why he has no choice than to settle for a Mauritanian called Yusuf Datii Baba - Ahmad.
Wait, the Datti na Mauritanian true true?? So how come the brother is the Chairman of Northern Elders Forum.
Oya, Igbos and Yorubas. The ring is open. Engard!!!! Fight!!!! Negativity 90% to 90%. I laugh. We will all be here to witness Atiku as the next president. All of you can curse me all you want, but it's the reality starring us in the face because of greed. You can bookmark this. North is seriously realigning. Suddenly, there is no PDP supporter in Nairaland, few in Twitter. But so many attacks on Tinubu and Peter Obi. Southern Nigeria, make una wise up.
First they said, it was the red cross iron door that saved him. We believed them, now bullet from outside. This country sef. Just neither here nor there.
How is it greed, imagine if a youngster from an English club put a man of the match performance in the Europa league final do you know how much he would be valued, what has Rice played to be valued at 150 million
KingofTheStreet: years to come. that land wont be used for anything. demolishing without plans is nonsense. ask him which plan he has about the area and i swear he doesnt know.
That place used to be a flood channel. But the building was used to block the place. Therefore when it rains, na for God hand everyone dey. So govt wants to open up all those areas based on existing Master plan. Am quite sure Odumeje will not have CofO for that property.
blackboy: Since when was it done. Soludo wants tp start a new one. Demolish a property and then ask the victim to pay for the cost. Interesting. They should have arrested him if they felt he was a danger to the demolition and not assualt him. Soludo you know better. The catholic churches nko? ...what is good for the ...
Nigeria my country. No Christian in the North has d capacity to be the VP. Did someone just say this Pls this should not be said in a public space. It's so insulting.
GardenOfGod: Why I Accepted To Be Peter Obi’s Running Mate –Datti, Labour Party’s Vice-Presidential Candidate
*Baba-Ahmed, a 46-year-old academic, businessman and politician stated this in his acceptance speech, shortly after he was unveiled as the LP vice-presidential candidate in Abuja.
Nairaland is always a good place to laugh out the days stress. A man under the hot sun in Aba will write, His brother who is also getting the same sun in Abeokuta will pick up fight and curse another one who is just resting after moving another persons goods for 1km in Kano. Who are they fighting for? Just 1 greedy man that has all his children overseas and well settled. Who himself is inside jacuzzi somewhere sipping barccardi. When will Nigerians wake up and smell the coffee?? No tribe is enjoying this country more than the other tribe. That this tribe will never smell the presidency doesn't mean others are better off. The whole citizenry of this country is just played like the game of chess. The 1% that is looting this country are made up of Igbos, Hausas, Yorubas, Fulanis, Binis, Efiks, Ibibios, Ijaws, just name it. To them, they don't care who is at the helm of affairs. Provided their share keeps coming. Let's wise up Nigerians. We always meet each other on the street, watch and play football together. Huzzle under the sun and rain together, but during election, they will remind us who our enemies are and the fight starts. Nigerians wise up. Wise up. They put their paid agents who are also eating the bread of our sorrows everywhere to stir up this ethnicity and religion thing and we will fall for it. Am tired already. When will this stop.
Hunchogee: IDONGESIT NKANGA AVENUE (3RD RING ROAD) A WORLD-CLASS MASTERPIECE BY HENZEK ENGINEERING
By Emmanuel Nicholas
Indigenous construction firms were never trusted with the construction of a massive superhighway with 12 lanes, such as the Third Ring Road in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
Never in the history of the state did anything close to that happen because such jobs were reserved for construction giants like Julius Berger, RCC, MCC, etc.
Many indigenous construction firms that bid for such projects did so solely to raise their profiles. Without a doubt, Governor Udom Emmanuel is a leader who believes in cultivating and developing the Akwa Ibom brand as part of his Dakkada Philosophy.
Besides, the Dakkada Philosophy invites all Akwa Ibom people to conquer their fears, break down the barriers to their success and rise to the faith of their greatness.
That is why the governor’s decision to allow an indigenous firm, Henzek Engineering, to compete with multinational construction companies should be commended.
While the company has shown itself as a rising star, it has also demonstrated its ability to compete on an equal footing with multinational construction corporations.
The high-quality delivery of the Third Ring Road, which is nearing completion, is a strong statement that if given the opportunity, an Akwa Ibom person can excel in any profession.
The quality of the work is evident to all, but more importantly, the meticulous finishing of the road has dissuaded critics who had argued that awarding such a large contract to an indigenous company would be a waste of public funds and result in subpar service.
One of the problems of road construction in Nigeria over the years has been durability rather than inflated costs, and Engr Uwem Okoko, Managing Director of Henzek Engineering, deserves all praise for meeting the contract's obligations.
The Third Ring Road was built in accordance with the required engineering methods, according to those who are familiar with the project.
Every step of construction was handled with strict engineering precision - the demolition and removal of unsuitable soil, grading and sloping, preparation of the subbase, installation of the binder and surface course, asphalt surfacing as well as installation of butt joints and transitions.
A thorough final roll will complete the project and deliver a five-star superhighway to the state.
But let’s get back to the basics. Earthwork is one of the major phases in road construction and involves the removal of topsoil, along with any vegetation before scraping and grading the road area into a finished “formation level.”
This is usually done using a tractor shovel, grader, or bulldozer. Below the formation level, it is important that the strength of the soil, also known as the “subgrade,” is tested prior to the beginning of earthwork.
That was what informed the decision of Henzek Engineering to remove over six feet of unsuitable soil, refilled the road with pure red earth and compact it in three stages during the earthworks.
A high-quality precast drainage system was developed before the earth was refilled, just like other multinational construction companies do.
Where necessary, underground drains were constructed to adequately evacuate and discharge flood water to their terminal points.
Following the completion of the earthwork, the company built three levels of subgrades, each of which was around 50 meters in thickness .
Before the binder course was rolled, the stone-base concrete was laid out to the desired subgrade thickness, which was about 100mm.
The company's approach to asphalting has also left many pondering why such a large quantity of bitumen was poured on a single road.
This is because after the binder course was completed, three levels of asphalt were laid with the stage measuring 50 meters of rough surface bitumen, second stage also measured 50 meters (and contained small stones mixture) and while the finishing was done with pure nylon asphalt which gave the road its smooth and glassy spectacle.
Idongesit Nkanga Avenue is 9.5 kilometers long and has 12 lanes; two middle-road drains, two side drains, six concrete road dividers, and three roundabouts with water fountains at the Oron, Nwaniba, and Aka Road connections. The last two lanes of the lovely road are illuminated by solar-powered floor lights and double middle floor lights. Another appurtenance of the road is the provision of a concrete floor on the median with a narrow earth path for planting trees and flowers.
As part of safety measures, the company has not only installed iron barricades along the entire length of the road to prevent users from indiscriminate crossing but has also created crossing points at every 100 or 200 meters.
The two last lanes of the superhighway are provided with concrete-top walk paths and holes for planting of trees to beautify the road.
The high quality, the sheer magnificence, and the sense of durability of the Third Ring Road have made many wonder whether it was constructed by a local company. And the answer is a resounding “YES.”
When it comes to the construction industry, Henzek Engineering has proven the pundits wrong by making a bold statement with Idongesit Nkanga Avenue finishing .
The company today employs more than 5,000 workers, including both skilled and unskilled labour, and has more than 300 pieces of machinery in its yard.
That is why we can confidently assert that Henzek Engineering has what it takes to carry out any type of construction job on any given day, at any given time.
Engr Uwem Okoko has positioned the company to operate locally, nationally continental , and at the international level, thanks to Governor Emmanuel who understands that building indigenous economy provides opportunity to grow more enterprises with the concomitant rewards in job creation and poverty alleviation.
Like The icon Lucky Dube said. The best way to build a good society is to get a lot of educated people. I think I stand with that. Yes, most of the manhole covers installed in the newly built overhead bridges by Wike have been removed. Soon they will start cutting the aluminum side rails.
minks: Kyari is a product of a failed system. His case speaks volumes of how the Nigerian system works. it's time we build strong institutions that will hold people accountable for their actions. Until we have strong institutions rather than strong men controlling those institutions, Nigeria will not go anywhere.
In Nigeria I know, there are different laws for the ethnic groups. Different laws for religious affiliations. Even party affiliation. If this man is from SE or SS, I bet you, he would have been handcuffed and sent to USA since. The PSC must have even sacked him without benefits by now.
