However you choose to look at the South Africa situation.. you must realize that they took the decision to be conservatives and protect what belongs to them. Their scarce jobs and source of livelihood can't be under threat and you expect all of them to fold their arms and do nothing.

You really can't blame the South Africans since their leaders did nothing to curb the influx of foreigners into South Africa.

This is why we must correct the wrong in Nigeria now before it's too late.. we must restructure the country into a regional system where each region and the indigenous populations there won't feel cheated or shortchanged. Trying to silence people using laws in the obvious tense environment is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
Where there is injustice, there can never be peace or harmony.

The Aworis, where una dey?..
A seat meant to better lives of Awori and by extension Yoruba youths in Oshodi is what they want to take.

Anything Federal including Federal House of Reps is for the Indigenes, not visitors.

Yoruba leaders and elders are not alive to their responsibilities.. our people don't get scholarships, we are not violent, hardly do Yoruba people get employment or political positions outside Yorubaland yet non-Yorubas still have the audacity to be dragging the electoral positions in South West with indigenes, yet so called Yoruba leaders are doing nothing to call this out

The useless afenifere that ought tobe the voice of Yoruba people have been taken over by saboteurs and enemies of Yorubaland.

The agenda to conquer Yorubaland and usurp the traditional stools in South West is real. May God give our people wisdom so our next generations don't turn slaves to outsiders in their own ancestral lands.

One thing is sure.. this Adeleke man is not coming back.
From appointing a biafra agitator to office meant for Osun indigenes to the poor road projects and poor performance, he should not even bother to contest in 2027.

Patriotism is something you can never get from "eniemies of the State".. those who took to terrorism, raised arms against the State will never be loyal or turn Patriots overnight no matter the "pardon" or "rehabilitation" given to them.

It takes a special kind of passionate patriotism to join the Military or any of the Armed Forces knowing fully well that it's a matter of life and death.. Now recruiting the enemies into the highest organization meant for patriots under guise of repentant terrorists is not only disheartening but also nauseating.

The Russians will never compromise on security to the point of granting pardon to terrorists. The only pardon they give terrorist is quick death.

If FG spends 10 trillion on Lagos alone, it's very much worth it considering the revenue the State is generating for Nigeria.

What happened to ndi move seaports, move headquarters of multinationals away from Lagos.. una mum.u eyes don clear say Lagos is Lagos. If you like pack your belongings and relocate, Lagos will still be Lagos.

A big red flag..
We don't need an ignoramus with victim mentality as President.. we need a firm and courageous leader that's equal to the task.

Nigeria with 350+ ethnic groups and diverse characters is not a joke that a clown can experiment with.

@OP The greatest lie anyone can tell you is that Igbos want to leave Nigeria... their biafra noise is just blackmail for Nigerians to surrender the seat of power to them which isn't going to happen.

Only a credible candidate that's tested and trusted with strong political standing can get to that number 1 seat in Aso Villa.. Obi is just wasting his time and resources for nothing.

One thing you said which I agree with is the fact that Obi (assuming he is elected President) will turn out just like GEJ or even worse. He won't do anything for his South East region, instead he'll be kissing Fulani ass around.. in summary, Kwankwaso will be the boss calling all the shots.
We need a leader with balls to restructure Nigeria and make the system balance in favour of all. That's none other than PBAT.

As someone rightly mentioned here.. blocking of roads and praying on major roads by muslims should be banned across Nigeria.
If not insanity, how will you leave your prayer houses, mosques etc. to spread mats on the main roads to pray.. what if an emergency situation needs to be taken care of at that time, so the patient should die stuck in traffic caused by muslims that blocked roads?

I'm disappointed with the leadership of the FRSC for having such bias outlook towards this whole road safety thing. The biggest threat to road safety in Nigeria are Muslims blocking major roads and highways, obstructing free flow of traffic to pray. The correction should start from there, not preaching by those who don't hold anyone to ransom or obstruct anybody's movement.

OLABAMIJI99:
Remove emotions and face the reality.

You should take your own advice and ditch the emotions.. what I'm telling you is nothing but the reality.

@OP Take several seats at the back when politics is being discussed because you have zero understanding of what Nigerian politics looks like.

In your deluded mind.. Atiku that's in ADC with 0 State Governor(s) will defeat PBAT that's in APC with over 30 State Governors.. or is it the other one in NDC with 0 State Governor(s) that will win the master strategist?.
Kids in politics section.

Dogalmighty17:
Niger Delta militants had justifiable cause and were open to reason. They didn't go around killing people and sacking communities.

Gumi is evil! You can't compare Boko Haram and rampaging Fulani bandits to Niger Delta militants.

The amnesty programme for Militants in the Niger Delta set a bad precedence in Nigeria..you see the insecurity everywhere today is because some people in the North with backing of their political class think the national cake shared to Militants in the Niger Delta should be shared to their people as well.. so they started to create armed groups to be terrorizing their communities until when the amnesty will be extended to them too.

You can see the stupid mindset we have in this country.. if all the 350+ ethnic groups start fighting for amnesty, what else will remain to fix the country. We'll keep borrowing and taking loans to fund amnesty programmes for terrorists. Is that how a sane society should run?

ogascomax:
Gumi is talking rubbish because Jonathan never went to creeks to see any militants.
Secondly, the ideology of Boko Haram and bandits is not even the same. What is Boko Haram fighting for? Gumi is a very stupid man and a terrorist himself.

If we are to be honest with ourselves, there are many like this Gumi in the North who use religion as cover to keep promoting terrorism and advocate for terrorists.

Until the Nigerian State sends a strong message by placing capital punishment as penalty for terrorism, instead of rehabilitation of repentant terrorists, we won't come out of this mess we are in.

Most of them never really left.. they still have active links with their roots.

Instead of appealing to doctors to come back home, why not tackle the insecurity that is making people, most especially professionals to flee the country in droves.. even in the animal kingdom, you don't see the senseless killings like what we are facing currently in Nigeria. A place where human lives no longer have value, where justice is being subverted to please some quarters.
How will you convince a trained MD to leave a secure environment and return to an insecure one because 'no place like home'. Someone should please make it make sense.

Ritchiee:
When the terrorists were visited,it got worse.
Why would a sane govt want to visit demonic terrorists?
Some state govts negotiated with them,it got worse.
Even the ones that said they repented have been reported to be as dangerous as the ones in the forests because we have seen how they beheaded our soldiers.

Don't mind the Northern islamic radicals with their hidden agenda to turn Nigeria to an islamic republic. Gumi must be day dreaming of becoming the Ayatollah kind of leader in Nigeria.. mu.mu man.

The current administration should take a cue from what Atiku said.. true wealth of a nation is measured by what it can produce through manufacturing and in-country value addition, not by container shipments or warehouse economy.

The benefits of local production are numerous.. the over 60 million jobless youths in Nigeria including graduates can get jobs and be gainfully employed.

Nobody will visit them because it's not stated anywhere in the constitution of Nigeria that Government Officials should visit or negotiate with terrorists.
If Gumi and his croonies in the North think a Yoruba man will acknowledge or embrace terrorism, they better think twice.. anything short of peace is a NO NO.

We South Westerners that embraced education are not fools, we understand the immemse power knowledge through education holds for nation building.

In the end of it all, the whole world will lay it bare that Northerners allowed the radicals among them destroy the fate and fortunes of their generations unborn. Nobody will point accusing fingers at Yoruba.

Short man Otti a.k.a Mr. Betrayer..whether you agree withe Uzodinma or not, PBAT is winning the entire South East in 2027. Men go enter una zone, whoever get mind make he show face

The guy was obviously a scam using social media to mislead naive young guys.. I never subscribed and will never subscribe to such scam.

Just like the fake pastors everywhere in Nigeria today, we have fake influencers, fake activists, fake content creators, fake everything. They all want to use the algorithms on social media platforms to drive traffic to their pages and get monetized.
If you take any of them or the nonsense they say to heart, you'd always be disappointed.

Good question.. personally, I believe first class degree is a proof of hard work and personal values of a student. It's not bad to celebrate first class degree but it shouldn't be the yardstick to judge students.
Don't get me wrong, as I also have a First class record.
What I'm saying is that some 2:1, 2:2 are as good as the ones that made First class, just that they might not be able to fully express themselves in the way the school system wants them to.

So many Nigerians that made average grades back home tend to break records when they go abroad for studies.. that should tell you that learning is not rigid or a one-way process.

No justification whatsoever..

Sharia law is just a tool used to institutionalize corruption in Northern Nigeria.. in terms of leadership, they are the worst of all.
They think cutting hands and legs of the masses for stealing #10 is justice while their elites can be collecting dollar bribes and be stashing stolen public funds in their personal accounts. Hypocrisy of the highes order.

Abdullahi Sule is not being honest.. if such should happen, the North will throw Nigeria into a State of choas like they did during GEJ, despite the VP being Muslim North.

The confidence the South has is in PBAT (a liberal Yoruba muslim) because of the proven fact that the average Yoruba person is religious tolerant, with mentality of live and let others live.
The other ones don't mind destroying themselves to prove a point that their religion is superior. People like a certain VP aspirant of one Agulu man like that.

This is really shameful.. a country like Nigeria with crude oil deposits in abundance still suffering from global oil price fluctuations.

This country could have been a global super power in energy if not corruption. They turned NNPC to conduit pipe for looting Nigeria's commonwealth and enriching few among the elites, no progress, nothing recorded, yet government waste money on salaries, allowances etc. for the unproductive and totally useless agency.

We have been hammering on the fact that Nigeria should have at least 5 functional State-owned refineries so we can transform our crude oil raw material into finished petroleum products that we consume and require for our day to day activities.. but no, corruption and greed won't allow the so called leaders think straight.

I honestly feel these guys are dull.. far too dull to hold public offices.
Funny enough, ask them what they intend to do with all the illegal wealth they are acquiring, they won't give you any reasonable answer. The universe has a way of punishing people like this Malami, it's either they go down with one ailment or their kids don't turn out well in life.

When you see all these desperate politicians trying every means to get into office, just know they have nothing to offer, they just want to enrich themselves at the expense of others.

educatedfool:
If Igbos continue with this mentality of always seeing themselves as victims, they'll keep being victims in real life. Dwelling on past grievances alone won't build a better tomorrow.

Don't mind them.. they won't show remorse or apologize for the gruesome killing of Sardauna Ahmadu Bello, Akintola and so many others killed by soldiers of Igbo origin in 1966.
We saw what Kanu was doing on radio biafra, asking them to kill Tinubu, Sanwo Olu, Pst. Adeboye and other prominent Yorubas. If not that majority of Yoruba conservatives rose to the occasion, they would have carried out the killings.

It's like something is fundamentally wrong with Middle Beltans.. how will you accept to join Northern Trust Fund when the Arewa forum and those in core North kept quiet while Fulanis were killing people recklessly in the Middle Belt region, destroying their communities and farmlands
What manner of servitude have the Middle Belt people subjected themselves to for crying out loud.

They should drop the Emir titles and revert to their "Etsu" which is true Nupe origin.
Hausas better wake up from their slu.mber and revert to their Hausa traditional titles.

Very good.. the nation's security apparatus should be decentralized.
The Navy and Air Force too should follow..

With Military, Police, Civil Defence, Forest guards, Amotekun Corps, etc. Nigeria should have no business with insecurity going forward.

As a man, you can't fully satisfy a woman in bed.. the earlier you know this, the better for you.
If you meet the sincere ones, they'll tell you that your best can never be their best, but majority of them fake it to make the men happy.

The husband should sit his wife down and have serious discussion with her, if not she'll graduate from se.x toys to cheating with other men.

The Judiciary in Nigeria should stop giving enabling environment to terrorists and kidnappers to continue operating freely in Nigeria.. death penalty is the ideal punishment for any kidnapper or terrorist caught.

Oyo State Government should be proactive and drag this matter up till Supreme Court.. those wicked souls entered a school, kidnapped school kids, their teachers and principal, even beheaded one of the teachers on camera, yet the Nigerian Judiciary is handing them soft landing of life improvement.. big shame on the Judiciary.

If we don't enact laws that'll make death penalty the punishment for kidnappers and terrorists, there is no way Nigeria will survive the "cancer" that is currently killing her.
