That Nwajuba guy that was weeping like a baby the other day, now the rest of us are queuing behind Obi to make sure that injustice against Ibos is addressed once and for all, instead of him to pull out of the satanic party and redeem himself by pledging allegiance to Obi and supporting his course, he's still in one hole, hibernating. Tomorrow, Tinubu will give him his shoes to polish, he will now come and be smiling for cameras. Shame!

No! He is doing the right thing. Everyone against Tinubu interest should not pull out. He should be in the party and work against it from within. That was how GEJ was brought down.

AtikuOkowa:
I was responding to it.

Azikwe was head of state succeding queen of England.

So we should put him in the list of head of states.

Are you stylishly dodging the question or you didn't see it? If Azikiwe was the second in command why didn't he become the next Premier when Tafawa Balewa died instead the rightful 2nd in command according to the law was Nwafor Orizu.

AtikuOkowa:
Assuming I don't know the meaning and you now tell me.

Azikwe was head of state.

Between State and Government which one last long and which one is superior?

Government came and passed and Nigeria remains.

We are talking about the state itself,Nigeria.

Azikwe must be mentioned even if he didn't exercise executive power but he was number one citizen in honour.

Did you read this part

Now back to what brought us to this definition
Nnamdi Azikiwe was not the head of government. His position was ceremonial. That was why when Kaduna Nzeogwu and the others killed Tafawa Balewa, the second in command was to take power and it was not Azikiwe rather it was Nwafor Orizu. Even though Azikiwe was alive he was not the second in command. It was the 2nd in command Nwafor Orizu that handed power to the military.

AtikuOkowa:

(a) Head of state is dictator or millatary head of state during millitary Junta. In parliamentary system we have head of state separated from head of government.

(b) President is the head of state and head of government in presidential system like in USA and Nigeria. While in parliamentary system of government president is head of state while prime minister is head of government.

(c)Prime minister is the head of government in parliamentary system of government while president is the head of government like in India. But in Niger Republic and other countries,Prime minister is not head of goverenment but the head of state.
In constitutional mornachy,King or Queen are head of states while Prime ministers are head of government like in United Kingdom,Saudia Arabi and Japan.

God knows the best.

This looks more or less like lifting answers from the web. You didn't appear to know what the meaning of head of government is.

Your first answer gave you off as someone who knows less of what he's talking about. You said head of state is a military junta. God! Where did you get that shit from? Head of state is a job description. A state is a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government. The head of state is regarded as the leader of that government which is the "head of government." In Nigeria the military used that title for their job description but that does not mean that someone is not a head of state as of today. It's a matter of understanding what head of state means. I just hope my explanation on head of state is clear.

The next is head of government. The head of government in summary is usually someone who is responsible for forming the government. That is he/she appoint and fires ministers, heads of parastatals, decides the economic path and policies of the country etc.
In Nigeria, during the military era the head of state is also the head of government.

Now back to what brought us to this definition

Even though Azikiwe was alive he was not the second in command. It was the 2nd in command Nwafor Orizu that handed power to the military.

You yourself said in parliamentary that the prime minister is head of government. That should tell you who Tafawa Balewa was and his position and job description.

Today Buhari is both head of state and head of government. All military leaders were head of state and head of government. Tafawa Balewa was head of government while Azikiwe was head of state but in parliamentary this position was ceremonial. It is the same position of the queen of England today. GEJ, OBJ, Yar'Adua and all recent democratic leaders were both head of state and government. I just hope I'm clear

AtikuOkowa:
That is why I am speaking with fact.

You can't stand me with fact.

Prime minister,Head Of States and President are not the same thing.

I am speaking with clearity.

Good!

Question 1
Now clearly show the differences between those you listed up there.

Question 2
In parliamentary system, you have prime minister and president. Who among the two is the head of government? I know you don't know what the head of government means but if you know say it.

Prime minister, president etc you listed up there. Is there any similarity? If you don't know I will tell you. I know you don't know.

AtikuOkowa:
Tafawa was not President and the rest mentioned were heads of states.

Ironsi paved the way for them and nobody elected them.

Please you are in a public forum. Don't embarass yourself. Not everyone here is a kid. Heed my first advice, go back and study Nigeria's history with proper understanding asking the necessary questions

AtikuOkowa:

......

Please how old are you? You really need to go back reading the history of Nigeria. This time do it slowly. Azikiwe never ruled Nigeria. The president position you see in his bio was when we were operating a parliamentary system and it was a ceremonial position. Do you know what ceremonial position stands for? Or you want further explanation? It's just like a kid that won a competition and is made a 1 day governor being counted as an ex governor of the state.

Also here are the northern leaders you skipped
Tafawa Balewa
Yakubu Gowon
Shagari
Buhari
Babangida
Abacha
Abdulsalam

I just hope they wouldn't be mistakingly training Boko Haram.

For me it was France 98. After that defeat, it took close to a month for me to recover and after recovering that was the last time I ever sat to watch any Nigerian competition. I prefer watching the highlights since then.

Jennyclay:
NYSC program should be scrapped. It's a waste of time and energy.

After graduation, and students are mobilized for NYSC, FG should just issue nysc certificate and 1 year allowance (₦33,000 x 12 months = ₦396,000) over to the prospective Corp members.

The money would be useful for entrepreneurial skills acquisition that will equip graduates to become self employed, and further create business opportunities for themselves. (Atleast for those who are serious minded)

Please learn to use the right language when communicating. Do you know what it means to scrap a program? If NYSC is scrapped there will not be need for your second paragraph. What you intended to pass was that the NYSC should be modified or upgraded or changed. NOT scrap. I also support that the program should be changed in order to blend with our current day challenges. There are various ways to achieve this. You just listed one of it.

Blessedmercy8:
Even though this is highly unethical, I still feel some parents need to be informed of some strange or akward behavior their wards exhibit in school.

In my years of experience as a teacher, I've seen some behavioral problems that I sometimes wish to pen down similar reports in their scripts or assignments but then I remember the code of conduct and refrain from doing such. Though this does not stop us from discussing it in class among ourselves. I'm sure the teacher must have complained and discussed this with her colleagues who prolly advised her wrongly to go ahead and make such remarks.
Some students can frustrate ones career.

Teachers should be highly rewarded and appreciated in this part of the world because they are encountering a lot in this profession otherwise this kind of remarks will become the order of the day.

Note:
Before you come at me, note that I already condemned the act in my first paragraph.

What you said is completely true.

sammyuche:
Make we no see this kind heat for naija o. Cos how many people get AC?

Our normal temperature is sometimes close to 40. We do have 35, 37, and 38. I'm not too sure now but I think we do sometimes record above 40 in the northern part of Nigeria

mbaboy:
2023 is between Atiku and Obi

I tell u. Tinubu is out of the race

Emperormartin:
And someone will tell me that Nigeria army isn’t working with bandits

The Nigerian army is not working with bandits. Why are we like this in Nigeria? Why are we always afraid to say the truth? I thank God I never voted for this fraud of a president. Ever since he was campaigning till this moment, I've kept repeating the truth which is that Buhari himself is a member of the Boko Haran sect. If you believe anything else then you are foolish.

Flamethehussler:
^{if na Naija no case for the doctor}

I tell you.if I tell you the level of nonsense been displayed by our doctors. Even me that has never stepped my leg into medical school knows that some of them should have lost their licences if the system was working.

Just imagine a doctor mistakingly amputating the leg of a patient who actually came to treat malaria. Or is it the one that operated on a diabetic patient and the blood could no longer clot thereby complicating matters for the patient. They are just to numerous to count

ManirBK:
It's already digested in my stomach and i am still active and strong.

Richardonald:
Sometimes I don't understand.

The same thing happened to buhari not having waec cert. Still they force him on us, which lead to one of the worst governance ever that shrink the country not only on economy, in everything...

The same political party still want to repeat the same calamity again for another 8 years, the present president is even healthier than the the one trying to replace him,
Someone that has no pri,sec cert. Want to rule a country of over 200m, something is wrong with this country.

I don't need to campaign for any candidate because I know votes don't count, if you like vote your candidate, (APC) they will still rig it, they can never and ever won a free and fair election,

Buhari no waec
Tinubu no school cert.
Buhari even better, he is physically fit.
Another 8 years
Nigeria a joke

The problem I have with BAT is that since he knows he will be contesting this election why didn't he just take GCE last year. Even if he didn't sit to write the exams people would have written it for him. Instead of these embarrassments he's facing today. In any case we are OBIdient. What's my own?

gambojimeta:
This is not new.

Always been like that. Most countries do not support Taiwan's independence.

A lot of nairalanders only started following international politics after the invasion of Ukraine.

You see that bolded part made me chuckle. I looked at when you were registered and I saw 2021. No wonder! Some of us here had been in NL even before Gadaffi was ruthlessly overthrowned. Then NL was buzzing. Most NL members had always followed international politics. It is newcomers like you that would say that because from 2021 till date, the only international news of relevance was the US exit from Afghanistan and the Ukraine war

squarelead:
But wait o, is this a new law. We need to know. Because I have not heard of this before.

But have you tore any money publicly before? The truth is that this harsh economy will not allow any hardworking person tear even ₦50

NetValueFX:
Truth is the American government can't even fight it's citizens if need be.
Most of these guys have more guns than an average Nigerian police station.

I even told someone beside me now that just one person's gun is enough to stage a civil war in Nigeria.

Thinkam:
None, unless the rest of the north turns their back on the north east, and that will forever ruin the northern unity...

APC best bet is another northerner, or they field a southerner and the northern blocs move to PDP

This is where GEJ comes in

Lescalier:
Make I no curse you.

The story is true. He added to everyone’s salary. Grade 8 on 50k now receives 64k.

You are very free to say any nonsense online. If he is paying the money, I would be aware as I'm not residing in the moon. I stay here in Benin. That was was how he made so many promises when campaigning. I remember those Ogbe stadium workers standing on his defence on several occasion. Their reason was that he pays salary on time. Only for him to return for second term and fire the entire workers. I couldn't help laughing at their foolishness. They were lucky the government backed down from that decision.

Help2020:
To you governance means building flyovers.
You careless about man power or the improvement of people's quality of live.
To you even if he makes every Edo indigene millionaires he is still a failure, except he build bridges. Educate yourself

Please shut up if you have nothing to say. Can you tell us what this government has done? I've been hearing of his wonderful plans since the beginning of his tenure, however none of it seems to come to pass. Throughout the dry season our roads were unattended to. Now that the rain is here you see contractors everywhere constructing roads in the rainy season. I stay in Benin. The roads are a write off just as the governor and this administration is a total write-off

jowhyte:
Confirmed!

For prompt salaries payment of civil servants and pensioners, I will give it to the governor. Latest 24th wifey don get alert. She works in the health sector.

This month of May salary came 26th or so.

Out of curiosity, I want to ask " is the governor paying the civil servant with his personal income"?

Yves4real:
I'd like someone from Edo state to confirm this because I don't believe anything Nigerian politicians say.

Besides, this thread may remain here since it is not bad news about the governor. If it was something bad, it would have made the front page hours ago.

I am in Edo state. This news have been on for a while. The last time I tried verifying the news, I found out the government had not started paying the ₦40,000. They only made the announcement.

This government is not to be trusted, they told so many lies during campaign period. I hope Edo people are enjoying the 4 + 4 to gba.

Mokason288:
Show us proof of payment

Stop coming online to rant nansense

How do you prove to us that it’s actually #500 and not #200

The guy did not lie. If it's cheaper in your area say so. I also stay in Benin and what the OP said is true. My mum also sells as well. There are some bigger ones that go for ₦200 each.

BafanaBafana:
It is actually safer to live in most northern states.

Of course. There are lots of people with this belief. That's why there will continually be people to murder in that part of the country

Truvelisback:
What's their difference Methusellah?

So after that long explanation you're still asking this question. Your foolishness is epic

Truvelisback:
Mr. Sense, why do they rarely put Udoma people in political office then? Looking at the people Buhari put in office, they all have Islamic names and they likely speak his language. Why did Jonathan do the same? GEJ Put the Northerners in political office when he was in Power. Did Buhari put other tribes into political offices?

Mr Olodo, there is a difference between northerners and Fulani. Buhari put Fulani into offices not Northerners. When you use the word northerners you are talking of both middlebelt, north west and north east. Also there are many tribes in northern Nigeria. It's even more than the south. Learn before talking to your elders next time. If you don't know something you can look it up in google to help you

Truvelisback:
Do they speak the same language?

Which kind foolish question is this? Do all northerners speak the same before?

Truvelisback:
U were using a Northerner helping an Udoma man as an example. I mean Northerner helping a fellow Northerner.

So you don't know that Idoma and Fulani are both northerners? And you they open thread. Please go and sit down abeg

Truvelisback:
I said they themselves, not other tribe.

Which one is they themselves? You said northerners. And I pointed out two northern tribes as an example and you are talking of themselves. What does "themselves" mean in your statement? Or you mean to say something else?
