Please i do not hate her or anyone else on this forum. Dont use me to score a point. I am entitled like every forum member to differ in opinion, my position as a moderator is different from my person as a forum member, I am on this thread as a forum member and not a moderator

Sorry, instead replace hate with love, and you get a different meaning

I was supposed to type Love,but in the heat of the moment, and with a hot cougar walking by, my right brain took over, hence the unforgivable error. Pardon my mistake. Correction well noted.

ENZO SCIFO:
^^^^^ Bros you don too try trying to make these people see reason with you may be you should just leave them alone with what they think is right. As its obvious some people on this forum will rather see and have University graduates that can't spell University ( as I witnessed in my NYSC camp years back) than see 95% passmark in O'level examinations.

Are you serious?

From which University?

This is one of those deceitful conjures to defraud undiscerning onlooker. Everybody listed in bolded sentences was returnee or free slave from Freetown, Sierra Leone. Zik was one of the free persons from the protectorates to earn a College degree.

Look young man, there is a longer list than that. And yes, you are very stupid to have referred Alexander Akinyele and Isaac Oluwole as either returning slaves or Freetown natives.

^^^ You keep coming back

cant get enough hun?

Did you get mine?

I think the point has been made and well received by the intended recipient - please move on !

You are the best!

will be happy with both yet never like TINUBU who ensures the emergence of Fashola. Roflamao

You give Tinubu more credit than he really deserves

First of all, what you did is really  impressive and thorough and comprehensive.

That said, I have never been to Kano and despite people's claim, very few people have been able to come up with a more believe figure. My beef with the UN values is that the UN never comes down to conduct their research, most of what they post are computer generated and when they are not, they are merely hear says from , probably disgruntled southerners,working at the UN.


Now going by your  conclusion that Kano's calculated density cannot be true because it places it above states like Osun, Ogun and some other states. I spent 6 yrs in Osun state, specifically in Ife and have been to Osogbo as well, and DK can correct me if I am wrong, Osun state is one of the least dense states in Nigeria, I dont have figures. But in Ife, you can go miles  and miles without any semblance of life beyond thick forests. even, if you look at the land mass OAU occupied, I have never seen anything else like that.  The same can be said about Ogun, at least, I have been to Ikenne and, if my recollection serves me right, while travelling through the town, I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. Other places like CR, Delta, and Ekiti, I am not sure about.  And, going by what I have heard both on and off NL about Kano, I am inclined to believe the official figures.

Now, you also have to realize that there is a substantial difference in lifestyle. Southerners are more educated and more likely to migrate to the city while the northerners for most part still maintain their pre-independence lifestyle and are more likely to set up abode in the so called non urban area.

Until a credible census is conducted, this argument will continue to rear its ugly head.

Clearly, youve never been to The Waldorf!

haha

excanny:
Not funny!

What more is better than an eboised version of Mukina, and while we are at it, we shall do a loboyomy on her and stuff her brain with Akpu.


And here you have it, A fully Eboised Mikina that is sure to never goo back to Sierra Leone

eku_bear:
What do you mean? Like, which of their employees specifically. . . ? That I wouldn't know.

So what makes you think it is more credible than the official figure?

eku_bear:
The 17 million isn't what I cited though, is it? That is Lagos State internal figures. Tbh, I don't trust those #s any more than I trust the Nigerian FGs.

The figures I have the most confidence in are those done by the UN.

Anyway, pretty clear that Kano State is not as populated as Lagos State.

conducted by whom?

namfav:
im fulani and im not jealous of igbos because there is nothing to be jealous about

Be honest, arent you jealous of us Yorubas?

seanet02:
Never, we YORUBAS dont have any form of history with kidnappers and human eaters

eku_bear:
Realistically, we do. Doesn't mean we must be holding hands together today just because there is some common ancestor from 200AD or something

This exchange is effing hilarious.

OAM4J:
I believe in putting all the options on the table and allow the best candidate do the job.

Not allow any riff-raff from my village to lead cos it is the turn of my village to produce a leader.

How much of zoning debate do you hear from the west? or are they not practicing democracy

There is nothing to Zone in the west

When we get our Odua Republic, we may begin to talk about meritocracy, but for now, it is democracy.

If we dont play the game like the rest, we will be left behind. It is just as simple as that. With all out education and exposure, who really holds the reign of power? The same North Bola Ige described as Backward. With all Ndigbo's brilliant mind, what have they achieved politically thus far? Nada

So forget about the best man getting the job, we need everyone to feel involved, that is the only way to move the country forward.

adeibi:
don't be so insensitive that's his wifey we're talking about here not some hooker or girlfriend

What makes you think he is being insensitive, thats what I'd do too
I love the Nyansh part though

OAM4J:
only if we refuse to invest in the turn-by-turn Nig plc, a.k.a zoning.

This is a democracy, not a meritocracy

What you term turn by turn plc is the only way to strengthen our democracy

^^^^

Very interesting analysis, bit not sure how they came up with the college enrollment numbers.

That said, I dont think INEC will publish the numbers before the verification exercise. So not sure where they got the numbers from, and how come it is not on SR, 234Next or pointblank?

I agree, but not at this time

eku_bear:
From the Goodluck/PHC thread:

50%+ of the votes in the NW and SW, at least as reported by GEJ's appointed man, Jega.

Buhari is not completely down and out. Though imo he win if he'd pulled off the alliance with the ACN.

I  dont believe that crap
The official figure is 70 milla, and the one you posted came up to 66

Moreover, I dont think the SW has as much registered voters as the NW, at  least not officially. And ascribing a larger proportion of registered voters to the NC over the SE is just ludicrous.

I doubt the authenticity of the numbers you posted.

eku_bear:
You've seen the voter registration #s by region, btw?

No still looking for it!

I actually think the combination would make it a lil easier for Buhari to win. The ACN isnt that supporting RIbaduas they should.
I actually think Ribadu wont carry SW at all.


A Ribadu/Ngige ticket would split the vote from the south in almost three ways of equal proportion thus: Most of the SE, around 35%, going to APGA, and the rest would be shared among ACN, CPC and PDP, with PDP having a slightly larger percentage than the other two; SS, around 60%, going to the PDP, the rest would be shared by ACN and CPC, the SW, around 50%, going to the ACN  with the rest equally shared bewtween CPC and PDP, with CPC doing slightly better than the PDP because of the Bakare factor,

So with the arrangement above, the battle shifts to the North with the NW being the most organised and the most important, it remains to be seen how GEJ and Ribadu would do better than Buhari in that all important  zone/region.

OAM4J:
fsranger, chill now. Just leave her alone, pls give her a break. . .PLEEEEAAASEEEE!

OK. I will. As long as she does not insult me anymore.
