Sammy07:


Kano is more developed than Bayelsa and Delta.
I just don't know what's wrong with our southern governors....

Yet, Kano is bigger than the two states.
Imagine, Bayelsa with 8local government

I'm not holding a breaf for any southern governor, but you need to know that Kano has a whopping 44 LGAs -- all receiving federal allocations while (as you rightly said) Bayelsa has just 8.

Imagine the level of development and poverty alleviation if all the SS states have 44 LGAs each, having direct Fed allocations.
What these northern states don't get in derivation, they get in multiples through the imbalanced LGA system and rigged population estimates formula.

So relax and stop supporting this weak argument which the north always use. Nigeria was created to develop the north since 1914. That is why they will never allow it to be administered through merit and equality.

This is a very contentious topic that may (deservedly) burgeon into a huge debate beyond NL and with unintended consequences.

The Fulani authorities will be out to muscle the administrators of this forum to see to the death of this thread in 5.4.3.2...

This thread will soon disappear.

AmaHopeOn:
Hausa lead in Business, which business exactly!

I read a post on the Datatas, and I noticed an intentional disturtion of facts. That the danatatas are Hausa's. No, they are not. They are Fulani's.

The Fulani's don't just rule, they control businesses too. Name any thriving business up north, it is owned by Fulani.

Dangote is not hausa, he is Fulani.


The conquest of the Hausa's is not just in their lands, but in the mind too. The average Hausa is dumb, dumb in the sense of not having a mind of their own.

I also know the OP, knows more than he claims and uses a different moniker to fuel this discuss.

There are few Hausa's that are getting liberated, but this few are extremely bitter, but their religion wouldn't let them fight back.

Time, time. The Hausa's will eventually get sense. Give it time, time settles all scores

With reference to the bolded: obviously the growth and spread of Shai movement is a means of breaking up from Islamic religious dogma which is the major tool of their Fulani subjugators.
The dots are beginning to connect. One slow step at a time.

It baffles me how a very large ethnic group as the Hausas will continue without any form of resistance under subjugation by a Fulani minority. Religion is indeed the opium of the masses.

This is one of the most interesting thread that I have seen in nairaland in recent years.

payperpost:
igbos and money! ojukwu must be crying in his grave , what happened to his legacies?

What exactly are Ojukwus legacies? Ethnic politics?
You forget he once teamed up with buhari for an election?

DonCaxton:
"Oshiomhole described Adeyemi’s victory as the end of the relics of 16 “rebellious” senators who went against APC."

That's a wrong thing to say. Politics of bitterness. Couldn't he have just congratulated the winner and leave it at that?

I like Osho's style of politics. He takes no prisoner.

His tactics is a warning for his foes to choose their battles wisely

ReubenE:
This ones want to take their illegal deductions to Kenya

Only if the Kenyan regulators keep a blind eye like their Nigerian counterparts.

propsvilla3:
This man's birthday that will take over one week
Can't forget those days in Benin city when we always look forward to first week of September
HBD Papa Lucky
Long live Esama of Benin Kingdom

Esogban (Chief Edebiri), not Esama (papa Lucky Igbinedion).

Are there no Igbos in the army? This marginalization is aggressively conspicuous.

Nbote:
U ppl can't stop amazing me.. I thought U guys all claimed d power sector was now beta than it has ever being and d govt itself claimed Nigerians now enjoyed steady power supply? Now help me understand how dis doesn't contradict both d govt and U lots? If d sector has improved like U ppl claim, why Dis?

Power can only be said to have improved if it reaches the consumer, and this is only possible by effective distribution. Electricity supply will only get worse where there is failed and fraudulent DISCOs.

Got it?

Cantonese:

How? Do not forget that the same Oshiomole fought Tony Anenih until his death. He told us that godfatherism had come to an end in Edo state. At the death of Anenih, Oshiomole said the battles were only political. At a time Oshiomole told us that he had a father-son relationship with Anenih.
He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. It is also said that what goes around comes around. Who plays the role of APC godfather in Edo state? Oshiomole. Who's political children are now battling him? Oshiomole. If not for the governors who made him the APC chairman last year Oshiomole would have become politically irrelevant. With which currency did he pay some of them back? The currency of brutality.
If the governor has disrespected him, let him bear it. He did it to others ahead of him and it is all politics.

Your comment is over-sentimental. No reason, no logic.

princeade86:
but my brother, the thing funny sha. If u were in his shoe, which post will you go for?

Minister... without a second thought.
It's a more elevated post with more privileges than serving at any chamber of the national assembly.

Valleys:

You that know a lot kindly mention names of those involved. And years it happened

John Kerry, Jeffery Sessions, current secretary of state Michael Pompeo...and a very long list of names that obviously sound alien to your ignorant self.

fergie001:
All he needs to do is officially defect at plenary, then resign, inform INEC and await his inevitable confirmation

He doesn't have to go through that process. Not required.

He just have to appear before the Senate for confirmation (as every other Ministerial nominee), then he'll resign from the House after appointment.

PrinceGallant:
Can somebody who is mature and intelligent help me answer this:
Is it possible to be double servers, like being a minister and being a law-maker at the same time?
I'm just being curious. Please if you know you are immature, don't bother to answer

He will have to resign from his current position in order to resume the new one.

So the answer is NO

Valleys:
It's only in this mediocre country that a minister/senator will vacate his seat for ministerial position.

U.S. Senators and Congressmen vacate their seats if they are lucky enough to be elevated as ministers.

You know nothing.

kovic7:
Any slowpoke family member that comes to defend this their act of broad day light wickedness is a certified bastard... And that person will die a worse death. To even be using the baby to seek for help when they are not taking care of the money shows that they all want to die early. Greedy hungry bastards that are full of shit

Add to the fact that they even killed their brother through lethal injection... according to the OP.

SO DESPICABLE!

Benin people are notorious for being arrogant, heartless and wicked. So despicable!

shadrama:
Bt he can not send message to them to stop killing farmers.

Same question that came to my mind.

This is enough proof of his administration's complicity with these terrorists.

nairalee:
This interview makes no sense. I doubt the interviewer is a football fan
1) Why ask him to choose between Arsenal and Chelsea? Does he have any relationship with arsenal?
2) Who in his right senses would choose Champions league over World Cup? Is the person a destitute?
3) Why choose between Davido and Yemi Alade? What's the relationship? Or did the OP mean Wizkid vs Davido? But Yemi vs Davido? It's just like asking someone if Frog is better than Agama Lizard. Biko what's the yardstick of measurement

Most Nigerian journalists are quacks. They lack interviewing skills.

midolian:

Shame no catch you sef..u wey pipo been dey think say na u go better pass Messi. See your life outside, shamelessly saying you prefer Messi to Ronaldo..
Local man is deeply disgusted

He was even counting it as a privilege to have played against Messi. Don't know wether to call this humility

Originalsly:
Hmmm.... Nigerians React...... is NL not a Nigerian forum for Nigerians to react?..does Nairalanders reactions appear on other forums for their members to read? Which mod be so dumb to keep imposing another forum here? ...and on FP?

Truth be told, the moderators are below average in quality and journalism standards. Even their front page captions leave much to be desired.
Seun needs to change or send them for basic training.

czarina:
What's the point? They'll get kicked out of the tournament eventually.
#JustSaying
Good luck girls, I'm optimistic they'll bring home the trophy

So much contradiction in a short post.

Hotfreezer:
Ordinary University that Igbinedion has been running since more than 20 years and Oyedepo has 4, this Igbo man is running his own like a shop.
The guy thinks his students are apprentices and so, treats them how most Igbo men treat their apprentices.
Ordinary university, Igbo man can't coordinate.

You're funny

victorDanladi:
They will be indifferent just like they were during yaradua time when VP-christian
Senate president-christian
speaker-christian
They are not wailers and partisans like CAN!

The then Speaker, Dimeji Bankole, was not a Christian. He's a moslem.

Get your facts right.

Nwadiuto247:

So the best candidate your so called s/s could produce is a mace thief?? Out of the whole s/s senators?? Big shame on you.
Now let me clear your foolishness.
South east has fifteen senators. out of the fifteen, two did not come because of their issues with INEC. If you deduct the two from the fifteen the remaining number of South east senators was 13. Then out of the thirteen two are APC members and 1 is YPP. I mean Ifeanyi Uba.
This brings south east senators present to 10. EKweremadu scored 37 votes. Deduct the ten south east senators present from the 37 senators that voted for him and you have 27 senators from other region.
Now your little mind told you that it was only south east senators that voted for him. Shame on your shallow mind.

Your analysis is puerile and hollow. Nobody (including the guy you quoted) is saying that only SE voted against him. He was saying that Ekweremadu should have respected the SE/SS solidarity (if there was any), instead of trying to play the spoiler.

So painful.
Rest in peace, HungerBad

Wanity:
How does this one sound funny to you Cc op

It is the funniest of all. �

Davash222:
Since ‘Nigerians’ donated a million Naira to her, why didn’t she get a good shop for her business
It’s bad she’s still hawking with wheelbarrow after getting a million Naira.

Poverty is a state of the mind.

I don't get it, isn't the vice president a statutory member of the national security council?

Chimaokigwe:
No Igbo person in the list?
Despite how much we developed Ogun state?
Afonjas are wicked.

Eze Igbo is there. Check well.

Wiseandtrue:

INEC'S business is in the area of election! For instance how the figure from their server differs from that of the public announcement!
Okay

Try to learn basic things before priding with your ignorance in public.
INEC is always a co-defendant in election-related cases.
