Just30:You must know Dangote more than 180 million Nigerians. |
PetroDollax:But Dangote can buy half of Ghana and still have some money left. |
PetroDollax:You seem very versed in Nigerian affairs and politics while I don't give a rat's ass about what is going on in Ghana. Who the hell do you think you are telling Nigerians what to do about their country? Just enjoy your kenke and keep quiet. |
PetroDollax:Black sheep of the African continent. What tables? We are calling animals with horns and the snail is coming forward. With things as they are in Nigeria no sane person will compare Nigeria and Ghana. Sit your black arse down when Nigerians are taking. |
His four years will soon be up. The dumbest president in the history of United states, incidentally coming right after one of the smartest presidents. |
PetroDollax:Thanks for Rawlings, we all know what Ghana was before Rawlings, even at that you cannot compare apples and oranges. You are right, there cannot be any rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria. I don't know how old you are but if you didn't know a lot of Ghanaians only had Nigeria to run to when things went horribly wrong with your country, and let that sink deep into your thick black skull. |
PetroDollax:Ghana is the equivalent of one state in Nigeria. There's is no rivalry. The blame goes to our leaders. We should be competing with the likes of South Korea and Brazil, not Ghana. |
Wickedness. You eat fake palm oil, if you get sick and you go to the pharmacy fake medicine will be there waiting for you. |
That is a suspension bridge going by the wires. |
Gabriel004:And this.
|
Smoking too much igbo is not good for you. You may start posting garbage on Nairaland. |
You shouldn't run down your own government in front of foreigners. What does he expect the Chinese to do about the APC or our internal politics? Sometimes I don't understand these so called leaders. What he just did is serious. |
You are encroaching on their territory. Rather than trying to kill them perhaps you can try and release them somewhere safe. Snakes may soon become extinct at the rate at which they are being killed. |
IjebuWarrior:Arrant nonsense, you think 300 million is chicken change? Jeff Bezos was once worth less than 5 million dollars. |
NkayStory:Hurry up and see how much you are missed. |
Bede2u:People like you dumb down this forum. Ironsi changed nothing? Have a good day. |
stephleena:You guys, guys....why don't you just stick to the romance section? |
Bede2u:The dumb ass Ojukwu was part of the government that did away with our federal constitution. Why did he need to go to Aburi to get what he freely gave away. Did he advise Ironsi not to abolish the federal constitution, no? |
almarthins:I didn't ask for war sir. But if you bring it to my neighborhood that is a different thing. |
goaldynboy:Anyone's hand? Na lie. |
kettykin:Comedian, lol. I hope you have made sufficient improvement so that you don't end up killing more Biafrans like the old one. |
stephleena:Vacuous comment. Who made you vulnerable, how and why? Your Ohaneze who is now crying for restructuring all over the place, where were they when NADECO was asking for restructuring? They lost their voice then abi something got stuck in their throats? |
rafhell:The government can help by installing litter bins in the the streets.
|
kettykin:Lies. |
kettykin:There was no ogbunigwe that wiped out an entire division of anything. Not even an ants colony. This is one thing I will never understand about Ibos. Why do you always need to project a certain image even when you have to lie to do it? |
She brought it upon herself. The "troll" was right. She told the whole world how long it took to get her pregnant. No one asked her. |
The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), a platform of distinguished Nigerians committed to securing and protecting democracy in Nigeria, met at the weekend in Lagos "to rise and defend democracy in our dear country." Below is the statement issued at the end of the meeting attended by chieftains such as Dr. Amos Akingba, Chiefs Ayo Opadokun and Ayo Adebanjo and many others including the group's Chairman, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu: The events in the Southeast and in particular, Abia State, which was invaded with a large contingent of the soldiers amount to an unconstitutional and gradual takeover of power by the military. On Sunday September 10 2017, the Nigerian Armed Forces invaded Southeast Nigeria, and in particular Abia State with a large contingent of soldiers, armored tanks and other military paraphernalia. In Abia State, the soldiers' invaded communities, tortured civilian population, over-awed the constitutionally elected governor and civil institutions of the state, and declared the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) a terrorist organisation, in defiance of the judgment of the Federal High Court. All of these actions are unconstitutional and represent an illegal take-over of the functions of the National Assembly, the Abia State House of Assembly and the legal authorities. The Army High Command has announced further that the "Operation Python Dance" will be a regular event and that another similar activity named "Operation Crocodile Smile" will be carried out in the South South and Southwest. The actions of the Military, we restate are inconsistent with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and may be the beginning, if not checked, of the unwitting or witting subversion of democracy in Nigeria. We therefore call for an urgent action by Nigerians to see to it that we put a stop to this gradual return to military rule. All lovers of democracy in Nigeria need to stand up and raise their voices against this retrogressive political development in our country. NADECO has long affirmed that the way to restore justice, equity and fair play to our polity is to return to True Federalism. It is rather unfortunate that some political actors are trying to confuse Nigerians regarding the true meaning of federalism. This effort to misinform, especially by some political parties, is a dangerous play and deceitful ploy. The 1959 and the 1963 Federal and Regional constitutions of Nigeria described essentially what True Federalism is. For emphasis may we remind us what true federalism means: - Independent federating units come together to form a federation. - These federating units cede some of their powers and responsibilities to the central government. - The federating units provide the resources to run the services ceded to the central government. - The federating units maintain their autonomy to run their affairs without let or hindrance, outside those services or responsibilities they have collectively transferred to a central government. That is true federalism in short. But the problem with Nigeria, and what is causing all the agitations and instability, is that we have an inverted federation, which the military converted Nigeria to. Here, it is now the Central Government (Federal) that is creating the federating units, they now collect all the resources and decide what to give to the federating units; they take all the powers and cede what they like to the so-called federating units. This is the problem. All the cry for restructuring is simply to restore the Nigeria Federation to a proper federation. Why should this offend some people to the extent that they are now using every method including military incursion to prevent it? Attention of all is here drawn to the undeniable fact that to date, No, repeat No, political leader in/of the so-called North has done as much as the Sardauna; no political leader in/of the so-called East has done more than Michael Okpara; and no political leader in and of the West (mid-West inclusive) has done as much or more than Chief Obafemi Awolowo. If any "political leader" has, let him or her rise and say so. Why was, why is that so? It is indisputably obvious that the structure (True Federalism) they were operating was a big, indeed the major foundational and contributory factor. It is clear to us that unless Nigerians fully understand and address what is at stake, those who benefit from the continued instability of Nigeria will continue to create confusion and delay Nigeria from achieving its manifest destiny. NADECO, a platform constructed by distinguished Nigerians, former Nigerian Public Office Holders, leaders of ethnic nationalities, civil society organisations, labour unions, professional and business leaders, youth and women among others is disturbed by the current seeming attempts by partisan political operators and others tending to confuse the Nigerian public and particularly our young people about the clear and unambiguous meaning of federalism, which universally represents a system of government whereby there is a distribution of power particularly between a central government and the constituent units wherever it is practised as opposed to centrist/unitary government. Nigerian Independent Constitutional Arrangement was a Federal System in 1960. Federalism as a term had been more than sufficiently and critically explained and understood by peoples of Nigerians through the strategic advocacy of NADECO, its various affiliate bodies and activists in various fora since 1994. The word "True" came into our national narratives partly as a result of the annulment of June 12, 1993 election that was won by Basorun MKO Abiola, and whereby the sectional politicians in military uniform led by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. Sani Abacha got him, MKO arrested for claiming his just mandate, detained him, humiliated him, and eventually got him killed. https://allafrica.com/stories/201709260377.html Good morning to Ohaneze. When the people in NADECO started the restructuring chorus, Ohaneze was silent. Some even tried to color it a Yoruba agenda. |
GenSpecifics:Ok, thanks for the info. |
SOFTDRINK:He is lying about Tinubu. |
hisexcellency34:Did you ever ask how he did it? Abiola donated money to churches. |

Yet, in Nigeria they refer to Otedola as the model and humble Billionaire..
