I just wish she'd fix the typo in her signature. It has pissed me off for ages. .  . 

Xavier.:
One mystery solved - kobojunkie is Igbo.
One fact further confirmed - some Nlanders re incurable ethnic bigots

Kobojunkie. . . a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Perhaps she is Wazobian.

Always cracks me up how these jackasses think they are doing anyone a favor by "developing" someone else's state. As if you aren't making money doing it.

That sort of attitude deserves, as my folks would say, a dirty slap.

SEFAGO:
Hmm depends then how do you get informed about what is happening or about the candidate. Illiteracy is just not the ability to read but you will likely be unable to understand the complexities of what the politician is selling you and if he or she is selling you garbage

95% of humans (no matter how educated. And I'm including myself in this 95%) do not fully understand the issues. Often they just clannishly and tribalistically vote dem/repub (for example).

The political activists who deeply research the issues do. But they are a small fraction of humanity.

SEFAGO:
wow concentrated yoruba

Rutgers?

Stop whining. Get over it 

I have always wanted to post on this topic because I am actually interested in the efficacy of democracy in an environment where people do not understand the reasons and consequences of their votes. I was reading a couple of articles on this issue and it got me thinking about democracy or as my friend fela would say democrazy.

Isn't that. . . every democracy? I do agree that better-educated citizens make for overall a better society. But I don't think an inability to read implies less ability to understand political issues.

Tunmi, sounds like a solid plan. Just make sure you plans things out well in advance so your credits transfer.

That is a lot of money vanishing.

Jenifa_:
why are you being apologetic. why do you care so much what he thinks about you?

Not apologetic at all, just explaining the two positions.

Who are these demonic ibos who refuse to mind their own business and focus on their own states?

I swear, if you want me to start spamming this forum with sh1t happening in yours, I'll go ahead and do it.

Mind your damn business, stay in your damn lane

Let us see if excanny gets up from the mat.

Otherwise we the refs rule this a KO

fstranger3:
I am sure you did not mean that

thats the sort of thing you'd expect from Kobojunkie, not normal people like you.

Kobojunkie is pro advanced education for the masses. I'm not. I'm more interesting in practical skills, not useless booklarnin'

Ramon2:
Nigeria is not USA. Even Tinubu, and certainly Tinubu's wife, will be licking Jonathan's arse after the election and how will PDP lose control of the House? How many Yorubas are in the house?

It isn't ACN alone that is looking to take away PDP states. . . in fact, likely the greatest loss will come elsewhere

dominique:
igbos on nairaland, this 'everybody-hates-us-cos-we're-ibo' attitude is starting to get old. you people are guilty of the tribalism you're forever accusing the yoruba of. i'm starting to get paranoid if my ibo friends are really my friends afterall

On the internet, Cryafrans are legion

Just ignore or mock them.

Ramon2:
When all is said and done, PDPand not ACN, will produce the president in the coming election. ACN has failed a priori.

Will be interesting to see how effective the PDP presidency is when it controls less than half of states, and likely loses control of the senate and house.

I dey laugh o!

Ramon2:
Why would anyone but a joker want to be the presidential candidate of a flip-flopping failing party? The fact that Ribadu and Tinubu are now friends speaks volume of the corruption in their party. Even Buhari knew better and gave them 100 yards. Also, the fact that failing ACN appointed candidates instead of electing them makes it a no go area for decent non-Rascals . I heard Tinubu RASCALLY appointed his own wife to go to the senate. That one na RASCAL family party.

Non-Yorubas may go into ACN to provide some space to enable them win local or state elections in their states and then move back to their original parties when they succeed.

Mark my word, ACN will be dead outside of Yorubaland after the elections have been won and lost. Tinubu is too rascally for any decent person to associate with.

And yet, when it is all said and done, the PDP is likely to lose substantial amounts of territory this election to the ACN and CPC.

^-- The way the OP presents his argument (and I mean "argument" in the loosest possible way), somehow not fielding an Igbo candidate this election cycle is some sort of great evil.

In which case. . . why aren't the PDP, CPC, APGA, etc getting flack for it?

Moreover, when did fielding an Igbo candidate become necessary to maintain credentials as a nationalist party? Who mandated this?

Finally, the sense of entitlement pisses me off. If you want an Igbo candidate, work for it. Don't whine and cry for someone else to give it to you.

Kobojunkie:
oooh!!! free woodshop classes . . . I definitely know where I am spending my summer this year!

You raise a good point. Dude seems to be investing in training people in practical skills. Probably a better investment than the new federal universities, truth be told

^--- If that is the case, likely those Igbo-speaking parts will never gain independence. At least, realistically speaking.
