Garfield and you are APC lovers. You can't even tell your friends, from your foes.

You have time to engage some of those uncouth baboons

I sincerely dislike PDP because of this endorsement.

The same guys that were bold to show us their polling unit results and how they influenced the results to deliver Atiku are now clamouring for endorsement from Obidients.

We're wiser than that

Labour won Cross River

FELLOW NIGERIANS, ADD YOURS TOO.

I can see him being able to initiate only Nos 2, 5, 8 , 9, and 11. And even achieving these will be hindered by the scarce resources and crippling debt burden currently on the nation.

I picked those five because they are the ones that can be done without antagonizing the Hausa-Fulani oligarchy. You have to understand that he’s beholden to the north. They put him in power . And they can remove him after 4 years if they’re displeased with him .

Breaking down the others and why I think he cannot achieve them :
No 1 requires an immense capital investment the likes of which the FG cannot muster. Private participation must be sought. And not just in the power generation sector. The transmission sector which is controlled by FG is currently unable to handle anything above the meagre 4000 megawatts that we generate . We have never generated up to 6000 megawatts since independence. To enjoy 24-7 electricity for 250 million Nigerians, we need to invest at least $100 billion according to the World Bank

https://www.esi-africa.com/industry-sectors/generation/100bn-needed-to-change-nigerias-energy-sector-world-bank/?amp=1

No 3: The credit system will be abused massively. Back in 2006, my former employer was the first to introduce a true credit card and made it widely available to the masses. The Naira Credit Card by Ecobank. We lost over 22 billion due to fraudulent accounts and unpaid debt. Much of that loan was taken over Amcon as couldn’t even recover up to a quarter. Fake addresses , fake names were used to open accounts. People created fake drivers licences just to apply . So what happened next ? Other banks coming after us learnt from our mistakes and restricted their credit cards to staff of blue chip companies. Our databases need to be strengthened before we can do this again. BVN alone cannot help.

4 Nigeria does not have the financial resources to undertake this on a scale that is widespread enough to have any meaningful impact. Take a look at the figures from the debt management office

6 Creation of paper notes will not have any economic impact if the purchasing power is the same as the coins . We need to focus on economic fundamentals instead

7. Not happening . The northern oligarchy will not allow it.

10. Not happening for the same reasons as 7

I also want to add State Police to your list . I believe the political will for that is there as the bills have gone through second reading in the National Assembly previously. But the problem with this is that who will fund it . You can’t call it state police and expect the FG to fund it. Most of these states cannot even pay salaries without relying on federal allocation.

Nice topic

Is that all what you can find? You're feeling like fbi for screenshotting what i put on the internet myself. Having anxiety is a curse or what? You're really jobless and have nothing to do with your miserable life that you had to look for something i put on the internet myself? Or you think if i was ashamed I'll bring it here mr fool.

You clearly lack home training . Continue . Whether it’s a curse or just a mental sickness , that’s up to you . But it’s obvious in your online behaviour which one it is . Seek help before it’s too late

Akinfemmy:


You're very stupid for thinking oba of lagos island controls the whole of lagos state. This alone has shown that you're a very foolish, ignorant and moronic dimwit.

You better go and cure your chronic anxiety disorder before you start acting like a mad man on the internet. If you don’t understand how ti engage strangers online and offline , go and meet your parents ti teach you.

Are you sure you’re okay mentally ?

Another takeaway from this article is the evidence of the might and level of development of the ancient Benin Kingdom. I read somewhere that before these current line of Obas of Benin came into existence around 1100 AD , there were about 30 Ogiso kings already.
If you calculate an average age of 70 (plus or minus 10 years) for each king . That’s between 1800 to 2100 years BEFORE 1100AD.
Therefore we’re looking at around 1000 BC. The Roman Republic wasn’t even in existence then .

Unfortunately these things are not taught in detail in our schools as the curriculum is woefully inept and inadequate. Our school curriculum tries to foster an incomplete sense of national unity at the expense of our actual nationhood

raskymonojendor:

Okay. It belongs to the Ibo from the landlocked red mud south east region.

Yea whatever. You just spammed the thread with irrelevant pictures and posts. Instead of engaging meaningfully .

Napata77:


The 'future economic migrants' have not displaced the original Yoruba population in Lagos, by any stretch. When Igbos become the overwhelming majority population in Lagos, you may call it 'Igboland'. Not before.

It’s not Igboland and no one is claiming it is.
Yoruba is the majority population but they’re not the ORIGINAL population . That’s why the Oba said it should not be a part Yorubaland.

It wasn’t me who said that. It was the Oba of Lagos.

raskymonojendor:
Igbos have been calling Lagos no man's land since the 1950s. Yet everytime, they keep getting corrected.

That’s not the topic. You’re being a smart ass. Lagos is not No Mans Land.
The question is who were the original settlers . According to Oba, it was not the Yorubas

[quote author=raskymonojendor post=121590338][/quote]

Post the link to the full article . Don’t be clever by half . He’s saying there’re settlers already there before others (including Yorubas) came.

DaddyJapan:
Arrant Nonsensico.

Here is a map of demographic map of Yoruba subgroups for anyone who is hard of hearing.

Do you know history of Lagos more than the Oba of Lagos ? Why should your opinion on the subject take precedence.

Napata77:


This makes no sense.

If Yorubas settled in Lagos in droves more than anyone else from the 1450s, as the article says, then it IS Yorubaland.

Just about everyone living in West Africa today is descended from people who migrated from somewhere else.

This Oba Akiolu needs to go and study the history of the sub-region.

Isn’t it rather hypocritical to hold that view while at the same time raising tantrums about future economic migrants to the same area

Did you read the part where he said the King ALLOWED them to settle. He did not handover the land to them . They settled out of the kind-heartedness of the King.

“The Awori’s and Bini’s are known to be the first settlers of the Eko land. The Awori’s are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of the Yoruba language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Awori’s were found in Ile-Ife, they were known to be the Bini’s who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose step-mother was after his head.

So Aworis were originally Bini people who followed their prince out of Benin Kingdom

About 1450 AD some Yorubas who hailed from Isheri in Ogun-state and Ekiti were allowed by the King to settle in Eko during a war, they came in a very large numbers thereby surpassing the numbers of the Awori’s and Bini’s. (Hence Yorubas claim to own Eko due to their numbers).

So Yoruba are economic migrants to Lagos. They came around 1450 . They trooped in large numbers .

Don't try to demoralise voters here.
Jimi Agbaje would have rejected Labour party's ticket, even if they beg him, people underrated Labour party and even laughed at them.
What about Ambode?

Honestly not my intention to demoralize anyone. I was throwing up a debatable topic in the air and was expecting a detailed counter argument . It’s what I do in my free time to engage intellectual minds.

You have a point tho.

topcatking:
Vote your choice.

You don't have to pontificate.

Vote the candidate you think is capable and leave the analysis.

I know.
I just like to have a back-and-forth simple and and honest debate/analysis once in a while.

Unfortunately I haven’t been seeing enough of that on nairaland . I only see tribalism, bigotry and fighting everywhere . People can’t even have a reasonable political debate anymore.

GratefulSoul27:
This write up portrays one of the dirty mentality we need to purge out of our system
You suddenly judging someone base on looks?
With all the experience buhari had what has he achieved? You need to support all these new faces in our political circle to bring the needed change not the same old gays

I’m not judging based on looks my guy. I’ve checked his resume. I’m not campaigning for APC. Anyway you have a point. But I also made a few points that’s open for debate as well

Why didn’t LP field him for the guber position ?

Don’t get me wrong , I have nothing against the guber ambition of Chinedu Gbadebo Rhodes. Infact if he was contesting for Senate or HOR , I would’ve campaigned for him. But come on guys , can he really handle Lagos state ?

Politics everywhere is complicated but Nigeria politics is a different type of complicated. Different from America or Canada type of complicated. This fine boy GRV seems to me to be too clean, sophisticated and straightforward to play the dirty game needed in a cosmopolitan mega city like Lagos. Even if he wins , how will govern the state successfully ? Will the legislature work with him if he doesn’t share money ? He will have a major task of instilling confidence and trust in all the stakeholders before the state can move forward. And depending on who controls the federal government, it might be a Herculean task. Though I know his family name and fathers influence will help with that but still ….

I know that the ethics of Labour Party revolves around the uplifting of the common man . This is the ethos of Labour Party anywhere in the world . It’s supposed to be party of the working class , the platform where anybody irrespective of status or lineage can make it.

Neither Jimi nor GRV aptly fits the working class description above but I think JK is slightly more of a self-made person than GRV who’s relying a little on his family name and connections (however little) . JK has also been active in the trade unions for decades.

And this is why I feel LP should’ve wooed JK or any astute leader from any of the trade unions with working class roots.


Modified: having said all this , I still respect GRV for his courage, bravery and the openly forthright stance he has taken on how he will dismantle institutionalized corruption and state-sanctioned thuggery in the state.

A hardworking man who has reaped the fruits of his labour . A true Omoluabi. Hardwork always leads to success .

Any yoruba who comes to the east should follow Soji Salau’s example and raise their level of hustle. If you don’t make it , work harder . Don’t play the tribal card or blame anyone like some lazy bigots on nairaland.

Putindbutt:

Was Bianca not APGA internal affairs? why was she rejected?.. Why are ibos rejecting their own blood but raise a moral standard in another man's region?

You’re talking about Betty Akeredolu. If Bianca can lose a primary election , why is it an issue that Betty lost a primary election .
Bianca contested against a more experienced politician who had already been in the National Assembly. Who had also contested for Anambra governorship several times.

Similarly Betty lost as she has not been an active or visible member of the state chapter of the party before now and also does not reside in IMO.

This shouldn’t be that hard .

Your last statement makes no sense whatsoever in this argument. Go cast your vote for the candidate of your choice . Whoever gets the most votes win. Obi would not have won in Lagos if Yoruba did not vote for him. GRV will not win if Yoruba don’t vote for him. And I’m sure many igbos will vote for Sanwo olu. Free your brain from bigoted thinking.

Ttalk:


The APC members in Imo state that denied Betty entrance were Kanuri and Ebira and not same Igbo? Does it mean all APC members in the SE are now Aboki?

She contested primaries and lost . It’s simple. Twist the narrative however y’all want it for your own nefarious reasons but the simple fact is she doesn’t have enough influence in that state chapter. Whoever gets the most votes win .

And why didn’t she get enough votes ? Oh wait does it have anything to with the fact that she doesn’t even reside in the state. Neither has she been visible in the activities of Imo state chapter before now. And you expect she would win.

Use your head.

Heavensent01:



if she doesn't what can you do? when you even remove your river states out of the votes obi won't still match Tinubu



you obidient are just too dumb

Don’t be a public nuisance

Putindbutt:

Why did they collect her money and sold form to her only to lock her out of the venue?. How about Bianca, why you dey avoid dat one?

But what’s your business with Bianca . Is she contesting for election in yoruba land ? Or is she a yoruba woman ?

What has that got to do with this ?

The issue of the Betty in question is an APC internal affair . Not an Igbo affair . Let that sink in .

IyaebeTheGreat:
And by all means as well . I don’t understand why someone that came 3rd will have the guts to claim stolen mandate, is that not juju.

Be careful with your words
