Guyman02:
We have had SNC before attended by the people in this picture who were members of the class of 1966 and three of whom have ruled this country for more than 30 of our 50 years as a nation. They have run things since 1966 and still want to continue by calling for SNC now so that leadership will be zoned on North (Fulani) and South (Ibo and Yoruba) bases with no chance for the minorities. Jonathans chances will be jeopadised by an SNC at this point.

Then, at this point we must ask, what is more important for us now as a country? Is it Jonathan's chances or our country's future?

I agree with you on the point that such SNC's are usually attended by the SAME OF THE SAME. The perpetual political knockheads who have drag this country into dejected misery. That is what we must fight against.

Ileke-IdI:


What is wrong with your bro today?

He was moonstruck by love nwa tin tin.

You guys should take it easy on the OP. When i initially saw his post, i was happy, not because of what he said, but because Hausa-Fulani has been virtually non-existent on this forum. I was glad to see him representing.

Anyway, i'll surely miss kilishi if Hausa-Fulani goes.

EzeUche0:
I prefer regional governments.

North, West, Midwest & East

I doubt if Nigeria can afford to go back to that. I dont even see it as a last resort either.

However, regional governments would have gone a long way to address the complaints of various groups and subsequently attended to them internally without attracting national attention.

But that was the good old days.

A well-constituted and clear cut SNC would still suffice in the current political structure we have.

Like i said earlier the purpose of any SNC must be clearly defined. It should be seen as not a means to an end. The NASS as we know it now is quite disconnected from the common people it represents. The recommendations of the SNC would bridge up this vacuum if clearly defined and the conference itself should not seen as a solution to our national problems. The NASS can then take over from there to put the SNC suggestions into laws.

I am not maziuche. oruko mi ni jason, omo itsekiri ni mi and mo gbe in london.sugbon mo fe fi details mi le lori public forum.

No, jason is a nice kid, not an old foe.

Jay, what's happening in delta concerning the Asaba International Airport?

Also, did you learn Yoruba or it's natural for an Itshekiri to speak it?

I have one phrase for all y'all. YOU ARE ALL LOVELY SYCOPHANTS.

If you cant stand criticism of your hero, go hang.

This is usually a prelude to 'operation rigging' a la OBJ.

I'm for once happy with the NASS for not allowing themselves to be used.  

We need to pre-empt this kind of unfair moves lest we contradict all what we are trying to achieve.

I still believe that those groups calling for SNC may not be on the wrong side of the tracks after all.

The problems facing Nigeria due to our heterogeneous composition are beyond what the constitution at present can address. The constitution had been prepared on the assumption that we are one united and cognate entity, comprising people who think and reason the same way, making it more in touch with illusion than with reality.

What i would suggest is that the SNC can still be called on the premise that it is not a means to an end. It should serve as a platform where the more practical needs of our society can be itemized and thereafter taken to the NASS to be fully embodied into our laws. In this way, we'll avoid the usual deadlocks that are associated with such national gatherings and the representatives will know that the occasion is not for plundering of our resources.

This is what the president should have advocated for. Lets not pretend that we have no problems and continue lying to ourselves.

jason12345:
Y? how is it a white elephant project?

What plans are there to make electricity tariffs more affordable to the average person?

Welcome from the creeks to Nigerian politics. Hope you learn FAST.

Freewilly:
Is coal is mined in Enugu does anyone know? with an international Airport in Enugu maybe some international companies will start moving in.

In addition, Enugu needs a state of the art railway system for its coal industry to boom. The existing network should be expanded in such a way that it links the paper, iron and cement manufacturing industries located around the country and a new port different from Port Harcourt should be built for it's export.

Enugu stands alone as the only significant source of coal in the whole of West Africa. It's a shame that the Nigerian government is not taking advantage of this untapped wealth by exporting to industrialized countries countries where there's high demand for this product, but instead is concentrating only on crude oil.

Is it because it is located in a 'vanquished territory'?

Aren't there supposed to be security operatives guarding this vessel? If no, why so?

It's because we are too lax in this country, that is why these kinds of incredible stories abound. If it were China, some people would have been preparing to visit the hangman after a thorough investigation.

Fools.

Reduce tariffs on imported parts or on electricity bills?

Classic white elephant projects.

Hopefully to turn a new leaf too.

Taking that bill to the National Assembly in the first place was unnecessary and aimed at promoting personal interests and unfair advantage.

I'm not surprised at the outcome.

Why are u lookin for one thing
he has done, the things he has
done abound, what has Gusau,
or Atiku or Ibb done dat we shld
co.template them, before
Fashola bcam gov what was d
one thin he did, b4 Iginedion
bcam gov what had he done,
Goodluck shows promise, he
represents something different,
we are not where we want to be
yet but right now I can say with
all conviction we are on our way
there!!!

I can see your signature that you are one of them.

But to remind you a little. He has never been president. But at least in the capacity he served he did credibly well. I not even concerned about him per say, what i'm trying to point out is the GJ should not be carried away by the calibre of people from this zone who are 'supposedly' giving him support.

Ohakim is even more performing than Udenwa, who is criticizing him. Udenwa should take a back seat. He cant claim to be a saint overnight.

Onlytruth:
That immediate future after Ebele is for the Sullivan Chimes, Charles Soludos. Peter Obis and Chibuike Amechis.  

Thank you my brother, I wondered why he left these names out.

FYI, GJ might just be the SAME DIFFERENCE with the old order. I still have my doubts on him which still refuse to go. What is one thing he has done that he can be assessed on? Even his overblown hype on constant power generation was dead on arrival from the word GO.

I still see the core NORTH not yet giving up. With the way they are scheming to push forward a consensus candidate in the person of Gusau, a much more credible personality than their initially presented materials(IBB and Atiku), they might just take Jonathan to the cleaners.

It's not yet uhuru until the PDP primaries is fought and won.

PROUD.Y NAIJA !!!
Only a basta.rd will point to his father's house with his left hand !

Then he's no longer a bas.tard. If he can identify his father's house, that means he knows his father.

You should have known by now that aloy.emeka is a clown. You even have time replying her.

Ujujoan:
Why don't you go back to politics cos you are not making sense here

Sis, chillax. A brother is just trying to have fun. Give him some welcome. I think i need to check out was going down in romance section, been quite a while. i'll be back.

jennykadry:
You too talk.

:-D. Heya. No mind me. i just say make i leave politics for this week and catch fun with you guys for here. Na the way wey we dey argue for that side.

On the more lighter side, treating women as queens brings out the best in them.

wesley80:
Hmmm, Extremely good post. A refreshing air of positivity in a negative infested forum. Uncle Joe would be so proud of you!

Dude, it seems you do nothing else here than talk about Jonathan. How much did he pay you?

jennykadry:
I might go off topic now but who cares

There is nothing like a man acting LIKE A MAN sometimes. It brings such heavenly feeling. Every woman wants to be pampered one way or the other by her man . A man does not have to make 100 million a month to achieve that, just cut your coat according to your size

This is one of em reason I advise people to check their man's pocket first (yes anything can happen after that i know) before marriage. If you are the type that like good things like me take your eyes of poor dudes, you dont need such influence right now(no oofeinse) and if you are the type that can manage any thing then help spend money on your wedding day.

I enjoy a man spending on me Bite me Nairalanders and like I said you don't have to earn millions to that.Even if I work myself I still need to be able to go online and take some money off his acct via internet banking

Haba there is nothing wrong with a man footing his wife's travelling bills once in a while, there is nothing like spoiling her one way or the other, If a woman spends on her wedding day, then na she go dey try to spoil husband

I read an interview on ini edo's husband one day. The dude was trying to debunk all em rumours about him and his wife being broke. he told the journalist that for every travel trip his wife makes, he foots her bills from air fare to accomodation. She lost her wedding ring the dude immediately got her one far better off than the other. Did he buy her a house in lagos yes he did and the car? I rest my case here. Thats my kind of man not all these jaybee them and co

Yes I hate  broke azzed dudes poor man gba kwa okwu diaaa, them no born me to suffer

Stone Age woman!

Shared responsibility should start from the first date. I'll respect a woman more if i take her on a date and she insists that she goes dutch with me. Ofcourse, i'll not allow her do that but it will create a lasting impression of her on me that she's not just one of those hungry chicks.

Western women have for quite a long time been in this kind of mentality, but the african woman, especially some naija babes, are still conservative instead of being progressive.

I may be so rich that money burns a hole in my pocket, but i'll have my a55 in gears for a woman that doesn't give a heck about my money. That's my kind of woman. As a personal principle, I usually dont do broke women too.

naija_diva:
I guess mine is ADA----(something)

I don't read/speak igbo so im lost in this thread but its still interesting

Do you understand Igbo when it's been spoken? Because if do, with a little practice, you can learn how to read it. It's more simpler to read than English, since most words are pronounced the way they are spelt.

I was never taught Igbo in school nor raised in Igboland. But since i could understand the language when spoken, i practiced with some Igbo literature and today i can write Igbo.

I will never allow the same happen to my kids. A part of their schooling must be done in Igboland.

deniyor:
Split it down the middle or better yet, let the woman foot the wedding
Afterall with una women's liberation thingy, you can do as much or better than a man.

On average, weddings and anniversaries are for the benefit and enjoyment of the woman. She might as well pay for it.

Ujujoan:
^^^^ I'm not getting u wrong bruv but obviously you are not getting me right!

It's not as much about the money as it is about responsibility. Nobody says it has to be the wedding of the century. All he needs to do is to cut his coat according to his size. Marriage is a big responsibility and if a man can't do his wedding without the help of his wife then how is he oing to take charge of the family

Cut his coat according to his size, while you watch and sip lemonade.

Marriage and all that comes with it is a responsibility which cuts both ways. A man should not throw himself off a cliff because he wants to get married. A woman should provide for half of that cost and stress.

I'm glad a large chunk of woman, like[b] Inked nerd[/b], are not buying into this idea of yours. I might be considering joining the priesthood.

This is the 21st century for pete's sake! Wake up.

Ujujoan:
A man who thinks he's old enough and ready to get married should at least have enough money in his pocket to do the wedding. It's his primary responsibility. If the wife decides to help, fine! But it's a favour, not a duty!

Says which law or which culture? Being old enough does not automatically=having money in your pocket. Life is not fair sometimes, my sister. Have you ever heard of the phrase 'being in one's poverty days'?

Life is like a merry-go-round. You might be broke today and be rolling in wealth tomorrow.

I'm not advocating that a man should be lazy and visionless. Dont get me wrong.
