₦airaland Forum

Atiku has finally played and dribbled his fans like messi, we all knew PMB was not going to attend this debate before now but Atiku just like Amaka, o disappoint o

The Igbos will continue to find it difficult to convince Nigerians that the 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup no matter how they try. One of them in this forum have actually owned up to say that the coup was not properly executed as some of the coup plotters had their personal agenda and almost fought in prison to express their pain of the failed execution of the coup.

It's high time the igbos own up and admit they are also one of the major causes of Nigeria's problems today. Their continual blame of other tribes in Nigeria for their own personal problems will continue to worsen their political fortunes. The igbos can take a cue from PMB who apologised for the June 12 debacle, even if it was for political reasons, at least it's a good way to start. The Govt of Australia had to do a public apology some years back for the way the Australian aborigines were treated way back in previous centuries.

It's evident our nascent democracy was truncated by ambitious Igbo soldiers even if they claim it was for the benefit of Nigeria but the execution of the coup proved otherwise. The igbos should stop using the civil war which was a fallout of the failed coup of 1966 as a shield and blackmail to wipe sentiments.

God bless Nigeria

Tareq1105:
This is not the same Afenifere Awolowo led.

Odumakin should be ashamed of himself and anybody that is seeing Afenifere activists as Yoruba leaders must be deceiving himself.

None of them have what it takes to influence anybody let alone win their respective polling booth.

Yeye people.

Afenifere died with pa Abraham Adesanya. Since then we have no afenifere

Odumakin keep sinking low, no shame at all all for a morsel of bread.

Only an irresponsible man will be told to raise alarm when there is none

ffk dey fear to got o court, dino melaye comes to mind

Theresa may wet go soon waka with brexit. I de laugh

Okoroawusa:
Me too!


We be twins?

ffk see your life

Even the cjn knows he is at fault, he is only hiding under njc procedure to keep his job, the same njc procedure that could not rescue the former chief of appeal court justice Ayo salami.

Personally I have no qualms but I think pmb is justified for keeping that inec woman on her job, shittu the telecoms minister is justified for not resigning. I only feel for Kemi Adeosun, she would have gather small liver and stayed on her job. It's a dog eat dog game in Nigerian politics!

The same premium times that was doing count down for Kemi adeosun, wrote a public letter to pmb for the cjn to keep his job.

We are all hypocrites as Nigerians

ffk and odumakin, I pity you guys, if you are summoned to the court, the likes of the cjn and his geo political zone will not be there for you o, na Oyo una go dey as you know back home most sw folks are not with you guys? Learn from Dino melaye o!

it's high time the Yorubas stop being politically correct, if kemi was from another geopolitical zone, she will still be on her seat, perhaps it's now justified for the Telecommunications Minister not to have resigned on his own NYSC issue. It's now dog eat dog in Nigeria's political hemisphere, the sw need to be wiser now else they may pay dearly for it in the future all in the name of being politically correct. I can see femi felana and even wole olanipekun who led the defense for the cjn. The day these eminent lawyers go enter gbege, even the cjn and his geo political will not be there to support them.

The CJN is only hiding under the NJC due process to escape this criminal case, apart from that he has nothing else to hold on to as far as this case is concerned cos as a public officer he has contravene the laws of the land. But alas even the Niger delta militants are there for him. My Yoruba people make una shine una eyes, no be the person wey first reach police station dey win case

Saraki is not a mature politician, did he not see PMB shaking hands with the CJN?

BuhariAdvocate:
I'm not surprised since they could declared buhari dead .how much more Tinubu he should be thanking God they don't say he is clone.

How come we no dey hear about Jibrin again sef

eshcol:
The way people dey boldly display ignorance for nairaland dey shock me

They don't read, yet they will come here and be asking questions that even little children can't bother you about. Our Education system has made many Nigerians very low in emotional intelligence. I just tire

eshcol:
Your comment shows you are not in tune with current happenings in the world. Biko, make a small research and thank me later.

Someone is even asking me here if Nigeria is accountable to the world, wet in person dey see for this nairaland eh?

We are just being Don Quixote in the Fight.
Restructure and reorganize the 36 States.
Decentralise the Exclusive List
Or simply reconcile out Nigeria's Presidential System fully with the U.S
And Corruption will scamper.

Read my earlier post where I said that even in the 60s where we practiced true federalism, there was corruption which is the reason the soldiers gave for the 1966 coup plot. We have a moral problem and crisis in Nigeria. It's in our DNA, no political restructure will solve the problems. If you say judicial reform, yea and am surprised no body has mentioned the judiciary so far, that is where we can tackle corruption headlong. But when a big politician is taken to court for corruption or any criminal issue, we all begin to shout. We have a moral crisis

Stop deceiving the gullible ones.
High scale corruption in Nigeria is because an over-centralized unitary governance system has Abuja collect revenues from all parts of the country, mainly oil revenues, then share a small part of the revenues to all the state's and local government councils

This is a sure ticket to high flying corrupt practices that are next to impossible to fight.

Have you read history enough to know that while Nigeria practiced the regional system of govt in the 60s that there was high scale of corruption? is that not the reason the Igbo soldiers of the 1966 coup gave for their coup plot?

What does then south south region have to show for their additional 13% oil derivation which the FG is planning to increase. No matter where revenue goes to in Nigeria, there are hawks waiting to devour

lexy2014:
I didn't say he is d world. Am asking u if he is d world? Is my English too difficult?

Oga, i am not here to win any contest. keep your opinion and I keep mine, okay? Have a nice day.

This is why I opined that state govts in Nigeria are all frauds. Creation of states has further divided Nigerians. Nigeria will fare better having regions or provinces than states. My personal view

lexy2014:
No wahala. Its myopic. Since u aren't myopic, shed light in this:

Who is "d world" u referring to? Is Paul kagame "d world"?

Shebi you have answered that kegame is the world, so what more do you want me to say

lexy2014:
U that has read wide, show us what u have read. No country can exist in isolation, fact. Am asking u 4d purpose of Nigeria's existence? Does Nigeria exist because of "d world"? because no country can live in isolation, does that make Nigeria accountable 2 "d world"? Who & who is Nigeria accountable to? U are asking about globalization. Are u supposed 2b asking me or telling me since u are Mr. Knowledge? Break it down. Explain how globalisation now means Nigeria exists because of "d world". Explain how globalization now means Nigeria is accountable 2 "d world".

O boy na fight? Can't you see you have answered the question yourself? You have the answer already, why bothering me. Abeg chill!

namio10:
Nigeria's four zones are ready for political restructuring to stop factors that enable corruption.

Only Buhari's Northwest and North east zones detest political restructuring.

If you think restructuring alone will stop corruption, you are mistaken dear

namio10:
How can Nigeria know how much oil foreigners take away from Nigeria with present Buhari as Petroleum Minister?

Nigeria as presently structured and governed is a doomed country.

Now I know where you are coming from, if the President starts going after the foreign thieves, you guys will come here and still criticise him. See this has been a perennial problem from time immemorial due to our lack of foresight and vision planning so it's not a today problem

lexy2014:
It is a very valid question not a funny one. U keep referring about d world. Who is "d world"? Is Paul Kagame "d world"?

Very myopic view, read more dear

namio10:
Oil revenues account for about 90% of Nigeria's revenue.

Stop lying to yourself.

Yea because we have looked away from other revenue sources where some folks are bolting away with our money and remitting change into the federation account.

Read wide my dear to know more. Don't be fooled or deceived that it's only oil money we have

namio10:
Corruption is our major problem only because Buhari clan refuses political restructuring to remove the factors that encourage official corruption.

Even if we restructure and have federating units, each federating unit will still have to put systems in place to fight corruption. The question is are Nigerians ready?

lexy2014:
U didn't answer d questions I asked:

"Does Nigeria exist because of d world? Is Nigeria accountable 2d world?"

Paraphrase: Y does Nigeria exist? Whose purpose is served by d existence of Nigeria? Who is Nigeria accountable to?

How does globalization answer d question I asked u? Define ur globalization & show how it explains d questions I asked

My guy, please read wide and do more research as no country can exist in this world in isolation. You have a made up mind as I can see if not you will know that I have answered your question before now

urahara:
Even if no money was being stolen , the money we make from oil is damn too small for a nation of our high population.

That's not true cos you are underestimating the amount of huge investments in that sector. And mind you oil is not only the source of revenue Nigeria has but corruption and accountability is an issue as there are so many leakages in the system.

lexy2014:
Who are this "d world" that u keep referring to?

Your question is very funny

urahara:
Nigerians like you make me laugh, we don't have much oil money , looool, our oil money is just like peanuts

Agree because it is being stolen. Do you know that Nigeria itself does not know how much it's making from oil. That's how bad it is

lexy2014:
Does Nigeria exist because of d world? Is Nigeria accountable 2d world?

Good question, are you aware that Nigerian credit cards cannot be use on the Virgin Atlantic Lagos- London route?

Do you know what Globalisation means? Do you know the international opportunities Nigerians are loosing out there because of corruption.

You are just one of those underestimating corruption in Nigeria. Too bad

StoneLucifer:
This is a very big lie. I lived in Rwanda for 3 good years. What u all hear about the country is fallacy owing to the fact that it emerged from a devastating genocide. 90% Rwandese live below poverty line, tax is so high, corruption may not be as high as in Nigeria because in the first place they don't produce anything tangible. Remove Kigali, and I tell u Rwanda is a remote community..

You have just contradicted yourself by admitting that corruption in Rwanda is not as it is in Nigeria so what exactly are you talking about. If Rwanada has oil money like Nigeria, do you know what it will mean for that remote country in your own words.

You guys are underestimating corruption in Nigeria. A country with so much oil money yet can't have a national air carrier like Rwanda. Let's continue to tell ourselves lies

franchasng:
so Buhari implemented BVN

I am done with you sir, have a blessed day

Do you know how much funds are lying idle in many accounts because of BVN implementation? Think of that. Truth is we need to check the dictionary meaning of corruption and not rely on GEJ's definition of corruption if we are serious and want the world to take us serious too. That's the summary of kegame's message. Have a blessed day too.
