spit on your ignorant ass, contest is all that matters, This issue happens in the 1950s, a time in history where black Americans are not allowed to vote, a time where ethnic minorities in western Europe were still discriminated against. The premier said what he taught and how he believes the interest of his people, who are northern Nigerians can best be protected, he doesn't have the responsibility to protect your interest just because you share the same geographical entity with him in the same Nigeria, that is what the regions were created for in the first place.

North for northerners, West for Yorubas and East for easterners. Not, north and West for everyone while East for easterners, that is the contest you fail to grasp.

i hate that I'm arguing with an Ignoramus first of..

Secondly.. i won't try any further if your blockhead refuses to learn ..

For the last time.

He was the premier of the north. His responsibility was inclusive of every single Nigerian citizen resident in the North. He was the Premier of Northern Nigeria, not just Northerners in the northern Nigeria.

North is a region of Nigeria, and Nigerians have equal rights to live and work anywhere in the country they so wished. That's how it should be ideally..

But blockheads and bigots like you who probably never owned a passport talk more of knowing how regional government work in saner climes are here making pointless arguments..

Go and sit down

myobjective:
Back then, Nigeria practices a regional system of government where every region run they're internal affairs. After domination your own region you want to extend your grid to the Northern region, the premier is right to be warry of you people.

I don't know why the Igbos find it difficult to hear the truth, every region and ethnicity practice some form of favouritism towards a member of their region or ethnicity, rather than rally round to develop their space, they like to move to other regions to look for what doesn't belong to them.

do you know what regional system of government means ?
And do you know what a federation mean?
Now let me school you in this game.

In a confederation, each regional government control its produce and resources, but does it equals treating the residents differently ? No.

In a country. No matter the system of government, all citizens have equal rights in all aspects of the country they choose to reside in (US practice federal system, UAE practice similar ) check how this countries operate.

But here in Nigeria its ok to employ a foreign over a fellow citizen cos you're low IQed and lazy to complete productively. Yet when they say divide the country so that no law mandates equal rights between you and igbos you shout Hate speech..

Spits

NaMeAboki:
Wake up and smell the coffee; the country was operating as a true federation where every region was semi-independent (with a weak central government) and competing against one another.
The regional premiers were all protecting and conserving their regions primarily for the benefit of their own ppl - he was espousing what the other regional premiers were already practising.

i don't agree with you.
Other regions were not ready to hire foreigners over their countrymen.

Other regions did not singled out a region to hate on them.

What then is wrong with Kanu?n
He speaks about Northern dominance and you people started calling for his head but when your Saduana made similar statements its called love speech..

We're getting wiser..
This is interesting

NaMeAboki:
You guys just love to lie and twist things to propagate your hate agenda; if you had any ears and listened carefully, you would not hear a single disparaging word against the Igbos from the Premier; all he said was that the Igbos had a tendency to dominate and monopolise everything - how could that therefore have amounted to hate speech?

The sardauna was only explaining the rationale behind his northernisation policy; aimed at protecting and reserving key northern jobs for northerners only, in line with what other regional govts (both west and east) were also doing at that time in their own regions - you would clearly hear him say so at the end of the clip.

Kanu and his ilk should therefore look elsewhere for a more better excuse to justify his unacceptable incitement and hateful utterances.

you re right. Saduana was making a love speech there.

We live in a country where everyone was supposedly "equal citizens" and yet one man out of hate for another people claimed that he'd rather hire foreigners than his fellow countrymen.

This is love speech.

MicroBox:
Bros go and sit down.
Democrat want to impeach trump not because their economy is better and bigger but because he is republican and going by polls, he might win next election.
In politics, your party is your first family anywhere in the world. Its the duty of the opposition to let Nigerians know the inappropriate bill sent to both chambers so that we the citizen can go to twitter or take to the streets to say no.
Death penalty for hate speech will never see the light of the day.
So nothing like rubber stamp or puppet senate president.
Canada ruling party lost majority in house which is a great setback for the ruling party.

So let criticized wisely, critically and technically so that the corrupt politicians can take the electorates and Nigerian youths serious.

first of all you need to get seated for real and not me cos you're ignorant..

Second of all..
Your first priority as a politician is not to lick butt holes but to represent the interests of the people you're meant to represent and that includes vetting every bills that come ur desk whether it came from the president or not.

Third of all. Democrats wants to impeach Trump cos he has an offense that likely indicted him. Now you can go on and argue this but that doesn't make it the context of our discuss here.

We talking about Ahmed Lawan and his Rubber stamp Senate who has promised to assent to anything Buhari so wishes.

And mind you..we didn't elect our Senators to be our opponents, we elected them to stand by us and represent us. So why do we all have to go to the streets to shout "we no go gree" when we elected and pay people to do that for us?

Senate: death penalty for hate speech

Me: let me say all i can now before the rubber stamp Senate finally makes that a law.

Bubu wey mumu
Bubu greatest Nigerian scammer ever liveth

Lair Muhammad wey no get sense
given him 100 mics and he has different lies for each one of them.

Tinubu.. Oga Bullion van.

CanadaOrBust:
It is a British thing. Nigeria always copies what they should not - they copied the wasteful American presidential system but kept the non-egalitarian British honorifics:

What's the difference between right Honourable and Honourable?

Hon. is used for regular members of the house. Rt. Hon. is used for members who are also ministers, the prime minister, or hold positions as speaker and such

ur head get oil..
One bottle for you..

Meet me at mama Nkechi's tonight

Rubber stamp Senate.
The worst ever.

Democracy means that the executive and the legislature should be separate and check each other (principle of checks and balances)

If all the executive decides is right why then do we need the legislative?

We should then scrap that arm and let the executive make laws too.
That'd save us a lot of money too..

Difrent:
Nature itself abhors equality so why do you think we can all be equal, it's NOT possible .there will always be rich and poor, leader and followers, strong and weak.....

i think there's something wrong with this argument.

We don't care about equality.
We care about level playing grounds.
We care about equal headstart if any should be given.

Let all man and his "chi" determine his future. But
give them equal opportunities

Hotfreezer:
Calm down. You go cry this morning. I'll be back for you.

boring

Hotfreezer:
You're a PDP supporter and I'm not surprised that you're wailing this early morning. Na una way.

PDP supporter?
And you're an Apc supporter ?

Dude I dont do parties with you.
Get ur 30k monthly stipend but don't rub it on our faces.
Now bye

helinues:
You are simply wailing.. That it.. But in a new dimension

Another NM sighted.
Bye

helinues:
But you can see it in my comments with the addition of new dimensional wailing..

We are saying the same thing bro

No I'm not saying the same thing with you man.

helinues:
Kogi and Bayelsa Pdp just chopped that thing..

We expect new dimensions of wailing/lamentation/propaganda any time from Today

I didn't see PDP or APC in this post.
Get ur glasses Mr

AllenSpencer:
South Easterners are not Nigerians and Kanu has made thus fact clear.

Whatever they getting now are privileges and should not be seen as a right.

yeah..
Including python dance when they protest.
Thank you don't mention

How do i explain this to my child ?

How do i make him believe that he is not a second class citizen in Nigeria He has labored so hard and scored 5x higher than Haruna in the just concluded weac exam yet Haruna got accepted into the unity school and he got rejected simply because he is from Anambra and is expected to score 10x more than Haruna before he could
get accepted into the same unity school..
The only different between my son and Haruna is state of Origin. My son is from Anambra and Haruna is from Kastina. They are both Nigerians. Same age.

He is crying.. he has always wanted to go to a Unity school. He has worked really hard for it.

Should i tell him that he is expected to have a higher IQ than Haruna ?
What then should i tell him when Haruna ends up being named as the chief justice of the federation over him, or the Inspector general of police, or Chief of Army staff ?

Why can't we all be given the same head start and be judged on meritocracy?

He is in pains

Do number of children by men and you'd be having crazy figures like 60s and 80s up in the north.

Guess where this kids end up?
Ur guess is as good as mine..

I simply cannot imagine how one stupid Senator would wake up one day and propose a bill like this.
Just like they do up there in the north, catch a small offender and cut his limbs in the name of sharia while they go ahead and praise the bigger offender for similar offenses.

Nigeria is no extension of ur caliphate.
Keep such barbaric laws up there in the north.

How about Nigerians utilize this opportunity to push for death penalty for corrupt politicians instead ?

But guess what.. Ass lickers and those who barely benefit no more than 30k monthly stipends (as members of the BMO, along with the simply uninformed Sai Baba chanters)would come for ur head instead.

Truth is.. the people we elect to represent us are actually the true representation of who we are as a people. They portray the average mentality of most Nigerians.

Deal with it with my people..
I don port oh!

Mynd44:
The last time this happened, everyone ran away immediately the military got there and set up in the location

did you also run?

I've been mostly a critic of this administration, and i believe my critics has been for the right reasons.

But on the land borders closure: i stand with the Buhari administration on this.

My reasons..

You'll agree with me that fake and substandard (mostly contraband ) products make their ways into the country mostly through the porous land borders. Were still, these products are produced outside of Africa and the import taxes are collected by the neighboring countries yet they are sold in Nigeria.

Secondly .. activities of the Fulani marauders and murderers have either abated or disappeared since this land borders closure. You may want to contend this but my observation seems mostly accurate.

Thirdly.. very few Nigerians (mostly corrupt border officials and the businessmen who ply ply these borders) are mostly the people complaining . Average Nigerians may be having it hard for now too (cos of high market prices), but I'm positive that the "demand and supply" natural market policies would evntually effect some positive changes when local production is driven high as a result of this closure.

But i won't end without shaking some tables.

How can Buhari justify border closures when he himself is still patronizing foreign hospitals with all the resources at his disposal ?. This is despite promising to end medical tourism. This is his 5th year (is he still blaming Jonathan for not being able to build a hospital at least for himself and household?)

How about the national assembly budgeting billions for cars manufactured outside Nigeria: companies that dont pay tax to Nigeria.
Even if they dont wanna buy from Innoson, how about they buy from locally assembling plants in Nigeria? At least those ones would pay taxes to our us?

These things tire me i swear.

ornicus:
i suggest you go and read

you live in country with 250 other tribes, but you insist on being a proud ignoramus

please read what people with far more sense than you said on the dog and baboon phrase that ignorant rabid aerialists like you jumped on
better try to understand simple phrases from other languages.

it would do you a world of good.
there is more to nigeria than the hamlet you reside in

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/5195-buhari_vs_pdp_the_dog_and_the_baboon.html
http://saharareporters.com/2012/05/18/semantics-%E2%80%9C-dog-and-baboon-will-be-soaked-blood%E2%80%9D-umar-bello

maybe you are a dog or a baboon. your reasoning in this case is below par for either of those lower animals

Dogs and Baboons soaking in blood is figurative and could be used in many contexts. The question is. What context has Buhari used it in?
To ans this lemme walk you down the memory lane.
Post 2011 election.. Buhari lost and thousands of properties were lost, 100s were killed.
Guess this is the meaning of the hausa phrase you referring to?

Dude.. you sinking so low and worst thing is.. you think you making any sense.

ornicus:
Typical simpleton. I will form a parallel government, a compelete empty and meaningless threat is hate speech? This is how slow and empty headed you louts are

Dog and baboon soaked in blood, an Hausa/Fulani phrase is hate speech? You see you are dumb right?

Please jump in the mentions of your fellow ignoramuses. Ffcunt and renowanker trained troll.

i will form a parallel government.. a complete and empty speech ?
Do you remember why Sowore is still in detention by now despite all court orders ?

Truth is.. i hate double standard never-do wells.
Can you imagine repeating just exactly same threat of forming a parallel government today and walking home home afterwards ?

Dogs and baboons soaking in blood an hausa phrase. What exactly does it mean ?
Does it in any way means a threat to violence and loss of life ? C'mon now go Get a life

Turn the goal posts and position them well just to serve ur wicked and incompetent mind.
I have better words to describe you.. but I'll save that for another senseless mention from you

ornicus:
Bunch of proud stark illiterates

You want to know what hate speech is watch hotel Rwanda, since you are too simple to actually read

Or read up on Myanmar and the sanctions against facebook

If you spread a story, particularly a false one which is designed to incite violence or discrimination against a person or group of people, that is hate speech.

how about if you threaten to form a parallel government ?
How about if you threaten the whole country and promise to soak the dogs and baboons in blood, how about if you divide the country into 97 and 5%?
Lets call a spade by its names.
We all know how it all started.

Treat the cause and not the symptoms and you'll get it right..

etrouble:
Did you just asked what would have happened to Buhari? My brother, don't bring back bad memories, Buhari was one of those that slaughtered Aguyi Ironsi as revenge for killing Northern leaders. Buhari was also one of those that used over three million Biafrans for pepper soup and suya and also used your mothers, aunties and sisters as sex slaves for over 30 months. So, there is nothing Goatluck Jonathan and you chest beaters can do to Buhari.

boring.
Next time reasonable minds are discussing hide ur face

Mynd44:
Seems a lot of you don't know what hate speech is

what is hate speech ?
There's no exact definition to what is hate speech.
Its contextual mostly and subjective too.

Buhari and Apc could decide to "give the dog a bad name and kill him " if you know what i mean.

Keep supporting media giggling until it gets to you..
Keep feeding the wolf

What people fail to understand is that the definition of hate speech is subjective and the government of the day would use it to gag dissenting voices.

Who defines what we shall call hate speech ?

Call Buhari a failure and its hate speech.
Call Lai Muhammed a liar and its hate speech.

We need a law that'll hang the corrupt politicians, not the imaginary hate speakers

Just thinking out loud.
What if Death by hanging was the punishment for hate speech before 2015.

What' would happen to Amechi who threatened to Form a parallel government should Apc loose 2015 election.

What would have happened to Buhari who threatened to "soak the dogs and baboons in blood"

How about Lai Muhammad, the Architect in Chief of all the lies and hate speeches in Nigeria?

Or is this the typical example of
"Aga fee ogwe asi ogwe jiri" ?
(when you successfully crossed the bridge you wish it to fall apart )

I'm just thinking out loud

omenka:
Crackheaded buffoon. A bastard calling others dogs yet some dunderheads in here imagine the fool deserves no insults in return.

I don't normally use the word hate when describing how i feel about people. Dislike best describes my feelings. But for this man I HATE HIM WITH EVERY LIVING CELL IN MY BODY.

A useless drug addict who's definition of bravery is being able to set people up against each other along religious and ethnic lines.

I pray the move succeeds so when you put out any of those utterly sacrilegious posts condemning an entire people or religion just for the sake of politics, you'd be called to account and possibly dealt with to the full extent of the law.

Ditto all your dumb followers.

You pray the bill succeeds?
What you don't know is that the definition of hate speech is subjective.
Remember that Buhari and Apc will not last in power forever.

Donald Trump receives more insult, Jonathan received even more.

Hope you and ur own gets consumed by the same bill your'e wishing to survive.

You don't fight an existing problems with force, Apc and Buhari are the creators of the hate in the country today.
Certain people didn't vote for you and you said they they're 5% and should be given backseat treatment.
Are you the president of only the people that voted you or the president for all the country ?

They know how they created the problem and the solution to it.

doctokwus:
Rubbish!
It's neither sexually related,'resides in the body' or is it scabies.
If anyone of those people have scabies, believe me they would wish that part of their body is taken off.
It most probably has to do with the severe, unusual weather being experienced.
By the way what is "a lot of people"?
By d time statistics is taken,your uncle's a lot may just be 5 out of 100 people he has seen.

you don't know what you saying mister.
Where do you practice? so I'd make sure no one i know comes to ur clinic

Lets get rid of Tinubu..

youngprofdguru:
Why not go for Jose?

Jose who?
Park well abeg.

Josh44s:
And which skills man wan learn te survive when almost everyone in different fields are struggling like beggars

many skills can get one at least up and doing in Nigeria.
Examples are electricians, solar panels installation and maintenance (i have a friend who feeds from this)
Many more man.

Jus don't underrate any skill.
Ask yourself. How old are you ?
How many more years do i have to live?
If i continue with what I'm doing now is there any hope that things will get better ? Forget about motivational speakers. You need a working plan before you can make it..

Look for a skill that you've seen people prospering from, do whatever it takes to learn it. Its Its not late to start learning it now, especially if you consider the implications of living another 30 to 50yrs poor and struggling.

Suffer now, have it easier tomorrow.
