CoolFreeday:Am following |
whitebeard:Mmmmmh To an extent you have a big point. It shows the level of comfort non- indegenes have enjoyed in Lagos, which made them refer to the greatest city in Africa as no Man's land. Lagos belongs to Yorubas. |
ShyCypher:OK, I see you gave it to the Hausa/Fulanis |
whitebeard:Please |
[quote author=vault post=61043546]you sha want to cause tribal war[/quote No, I want to raise important point |
Oluwasaeon:So we may give respect to whom respect is due |
GavelSlam:Did he allude to the tribes you mentioned? He already alluded to the Igbos, and if you are comfortable with the speech the way he made it, am not. I am entitled to my opinion and so do you. But if you chose to pick hole in my comment, then it is purely as a result of your bias against the Igbos. |
The Hausa/Fulanis and the Yorubas are no doubt very accomomodating, considering the number of non-indegenes who came and settled in their lands and made great success. This thread is a questiionare aimed at ascertaining which of these two great people is more accommodating than the other. Criteria: 1. Population of non-indegenes settled and comfortably doing well in their lands; 2. The degree of success achieved by the non-indegenes in their lands. I need answers Nairalanders. Thanks all -Eodavids |
Bakare has done Nigeria a lot of good by this work. I wish the present regime will heed this advice from the clergy. The content is selfless and aims at the common good of all Nigerians. Thanks to you, Tunde Bakare. |
Throwback:If you are a patriotic Nigerian, you must speak the truth. Buhari has not spoken to Ndigbo as if he considers them as fellow citizens among whom he has supporter too. He spoke as if all Igbos are nothing but his conquered enemies who must stay down or, if they dare to raise their head, he will crush them with the military might. He had never sought to speak with the agitators or even set a panel to hear them. Sending the military to IPOB even when Kanu was due to return to court soon, and even as voices from both Igbos and non-Igbos were calling for the revocation of Kanu's bail, goes to show that Buhari prefers military solution to judicial solution on IPOB/Biafra issues. BUT HERE IS MY FEAR: THAT BUHARI MAY INVENTUALLY UNITE ALL BIAFRANS (IGBOS AND NON-IGBOS) TO USE EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT TO ACHIEVE BIAFRA. this is what Kanu wants. Patriotic Igbos do not want it now, but Buhari is pushing it to that with every of his moves. |
FortifiedCity:The answer is right in your own very words. Now, if you go ahead, it going to be another suicide, period |
My Bible tells me in Hebrews 9:27 that it is appointed unto man once to die and then face judgement |
lawani:They are still doing so or can do so alongside the free oil money fro N/delta. If they follow your advice, will individuals sell the agri-products you are mentioning or will the government buy from individuals and then export? On the oil, gov't is in charge and not a "middle man". |
It is trite to say that every Act, Law, Rules and legal instruments operational presently in Nigeria or in the past, were benefits derived from certain regimes/governments led by either civilians or military leaders. All the known Presidents and, or Heads of state we respect are those who succeeded in entrenching one or more legal instruments into the country and many of such instruments remained relevant and bebefitial to Nigerians over a long period of time. Who will not respect a leader who, under his watch; Acts/Laws were enacted or promulgated to make way for a better Nigeria for Nigerians? 1) NYSC was established through the promulgation of a Decree. Today it is found in the Laws of The Federation of Nigeria, 2004 but Gen. Yakubu Gowon is remembered for good when NYSC is mentioned. 2) The Land Use Act was promulgated by the Gen. Murtala Mohammed/Obansanjo military government of 70s. Today it is in the LFN, 2004 and the duo are remembered for good when it comes to Land Law in Nigeria. 3) CAMA is an integral part of the Nigerian laws and is the landmark law when it comes to business law. The Gen. IBB military government is remembered when CAMA is mentions. The C.A.C that register companies are the offshoot of the great CAMA. The Copyright Act, Trademarks Act, Patent and Designs Act were made reasonable and effective under the IBB regime such that the law was meant to truely encourage creativity and hardworking from Nigerians and citizens of countries maintaining reciprocal benefits with Nigeria. 4) The Nigerian Constitution of 1999, despite the military authorship, is nonetheless a landmark promulgation that brings honour to Nigerians in general and Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar in particular. *THOSE WHO ALWAYS CRITICZE THE GRUND NORM SHOULD LOOK AT THE ALTERNATIVE. If the Abdulsami-led military government had not put that legal instrument in place for Nigerians after many years of military suspensions, setting aside and excessive tampering with the Constitution; what could the military had handed over to the civilians in 1999? The blames should now be channeled to the successive civilian presidents who have respectively failed to update the ground norm to the yearnings of Nigerians. 5) Obasanjo came again in 1999 as civilian President and was determined to make a special mark Nigeria and Nigerians. He really left foot print that shall never be wiped of on the sand of time for centuries if Nigeria... Obasanjo's regime of 1999-2007 saw aggressive legal progress as every area of Nigerian governance witnessed progress. In one form or the other. The LFN, 2004 attests to that for all to see. 6) Yar'adua/Gej. Will be remembered for the Electoral reform that thrived under their watch. The Electoral Act is there for all to see. History will be fair to them for electoral laws and for truly empowering INEC to be independent without interference. No wonder GEJ lost an election and accepted the result... For those who are conversant with the laws operating in Nigeria, especially federal laws; one can safely say that IBB and Obasanjo are the two leaders under who's watch the legal system had witnessed the greatest progress in terms of promulgations/enactments. 7) Muhammadu Buhari?? As one of those who bought BSO recharge cards to support Baba Buhari's bid to run for presidency in 2014 when we were told he had shortage of funds; I want President Buhari to make sure he sponsor or encourage the enactment of landmark laws or such amendments that will push Nigeria forward. If not, Buhari would have led Nigeria without a tangible legal and jurisprudencial respect. Pls. Feel free to add your own area of knowledge on who among Nigerian leaders who made their mark in enactments/promulgations -Eodavids |
kado:Its supposed to be a good news when they said "its now cheaper and simplified" But the Nigerian factor seems to have prevailed. Let's not forget that hitherto, it was lawyers and other accredited professionals that get this thing done. Lawyers especially, and it was accredited and informed Lawyers, not just any lawyer. To byepass that known procedure for a new and vague approach will most likely lead to litigations which will result in damages for various injuries issued by courts of competent jurisdiction against the C.A.C. in assuaging the times and money expended by applicants/victims who had pursued this vague process in failure. The lawyers will still be in the middle of the litigation and will reap their shares therefrom |
How much is the present cost? It should be made explicit and not still unknown or depending on what an individual is made to pay |
bullbull:At the era of protectorates, were there no southern and northern protectorates which were eventually amalgamated to the colony of Nigeria in 1914? |
Beautiful, insightful and educative. Thank you Op. The major thing here is that each people try to embody their values and pride into their own. Now, my question: is Borno still "home of peace"? As in, sincerely ?? |
Juxtaposing IPOB and FULANI HERDSMEN: 1) You look at the weapons used by each group: speeches vs AK 47 + rape, matchets and arsons; 2) Where each operated: the one operated at their homeland while the other attacks their victims at the victims homes or in the farmlands of the victims; 3) Signatures of each group: Hate speeches by IPOBs while THE HERDSMEN kills, rapes, commits arson, and destroys farm produce both in the farms and in the victims' homes; 4) number of victims: your guess is not far from mine. POSER: HOW WAS IPOB QUALIFIED AS TERROR GROUP WHILE HERDSMEN STANDOUT AS ONE INNOCENT OR HARMLESS ORGANISATION. AM I NOT CONFUSED ON THE WORKINGS OF OUR PRESENT LEADERS ![]() ?? |
I want agree that Baba Buhari is not opposed to restructuring the country. That is good to hear. However, what Femi has said is not relevant. Considering the loud voices now echoing "RESTRUCTURING!" "RESTRUCTURING!!" "RESTRUCTURING!!" What needs to be done is to call a round table discussion with representatives of all tribes, languages, faiths, etc in attendance and then the ruling party-led by Baba Buhari will pioneer the discuss where all views will be given fair hearing and then the president and his team drawn evenly from all corners of Nigeria will do justice in harmonizing all the concerns to show every group that they are also an integral part of the Nigerian project. Unless this is done, or something better is done by this present administration, we cannot safely aver that President Buhari supports restructuring. Femi succeeded is pointing out the divergence beclouding issues of restructuring, as each individual Nigerian sees the issue differently; it must not be left unsaid, that you he aim is one thin: to have a better Nigeria for Nigerians. Let Baba Buhari show Nigerians his own version of restructuring as a leader. Its not good that he keeps quiet while this important issue is raging across the country. #whereis the leadership? |

On an interstate journey through one of Nigerian bad roads, a young boy kept vomiting uncontrollably. Some blame him for eating something. "Knowing you are prone to vomiting, why did you eat something?" They asked. It came to the point when the driver, supported by some passengers insisted that a spoon of fuel is the most potent antidote for vomiting. I opposed it vehemently, arguing that petrol is chemical and ought not to be sipped for any reason whatsoever, but some in the vehicle insisted that it has been proven and that medical workers do not oppose it. Any one with clearer understanding on this please? -eodavids |
alexistaiwo:If FTC receive prices; what will the op be given? |
ukonu1995:Take it easy. Let's not predict the future here. Besides, Mynd44 will not like it if you are hating any Nigerian, including Turakin Adamawa |
expialidocious:Part of what you said makes a lot of sense. So, Ndigbo should avoid any other war, because it will result in damage on Igbo establishments and it must be prevented at all cost. |
lightwind:Well if the search for Kanu becomes a serious matter, then the people who invaded his known abode are answerable for his whereabout, dead or alive. |
Ezigbonmadu: |
Op, you ought to give us the picture of Gololo, and not that of Saraki. We already know saraki na, so you ought to avail us the privilege to see who Gololo is, as he make this news. Saraki was on point when he faulted military declaration of IPOB a terror group. It wasn't the military that should do what the constitution requires the executive to do. A.G Malami understood what Saraki meant and quickly applied to the court. Why won't Gololo understand too? |
Yeah, following the foot step of the Nigerian fed. Govt. Every group that asks for its right with seriousness may soon be tagged "terrorists" The western world who originated the term "terrorism" will be amazed at the level of abuse and trivialization which Nigerians have imbibed regarding that word. SOMEONE SHOULD GIVE ME THAT PINK-HEADED DUCK WITH FROWNING FACE. |
The word "restructuring" has overtaken every other word in present day Nigeria as the most taunted word. Some times, because of the divergence characterising the viewpoint of various Nigerians, one is left to conclude that may be, we should use a different word or phrase to convey a most generally acceptable position that shall lead to a better Nigeria. Basically however is the fact that those who are clamouring for restructuring are in essence saying that we Nigerians should reorganize the arrangement upon which Nigeria is operating so that we can become better, stronger and more productive. What's your take on "Restructuring" fellow Nairalanders? |

dre11:No, no, nooo! When the bail was effected, there were express and implied terms underlying the bail. The express terms will include the fact that when the court calls for the case, the sureties must produce the accused. Unfortunately, the implied terms includes that normal court process will be followed in calling for Kanu to appear at the court. Now, this military approach of handling Kanu's issue has breached the procedure and consequently caused a miscarriage of justice. No court of law applying the conventional rule of law can legally go after the sureties of Kanu after the military interference with the matter. Well, for now we must avoid prejudicial utterances. Let's watch the court. |
