See e get level wey you go reach for life. Everything go be like film

I pray you reach that level

Are you done inflating your own ego?

dreamxhaser:
North east, north west, most north central and some southern politicians will go against restructuring.

I know you are a Tinubu fan boy but you hype him beyond what he is capable of.


Now assuming only the north east and north west go against it, which is not possible for only them to be against it. The bill will still not pass because there are 39 senators from those regions and for a bill to pass you need 73 senators (two-thirds majority) to support it.

This means if 39 are against the others left will be 70 making the rest 3 senators short.

Also, i am very sure some senators from the north central like Niger, FCT, etc will be against it to.

Finally what makes you think aside Lagos the south western states can survive restructuring? In an event of restructuring the south east will no longer be marginalized and most people from the south east and south-south region will focus their businesses and investments around cities like PH. This is because vital infrastructures like ports and the likes will be built in the south-south region, like do you know the amount of wealth that region will accumulate from controlling their oil? Omo the south west won’t compete even in another life time. Also, i am sure alot of northerners will focus in doing trades and importation there.

Though it might not happen instantly, but it will take a few years. Lagos will depopulate to because why would anyone from the north, south west or south east invest in Lagos when there are more booming cities like PH?

You should understand that the north and south west are the biggest beneficiaries of this pattern of government. Else the south west will be no different from Benin republic, while the north will be no different from Niger republic.

The south-south is the power of Nigeria

Edited: In fact if you come to think of it, the south west is the biggest beneficiary of one Nigeria. Even more than the north.

I have said it severally that restructuring or state policing is a gimmick. Nigeria is not yet mature to practice any of the 2 at the moment.

So that some northerners was against it didn't make difference as there was no intention about.

How about other policies and reforms which the Northerners initially fumed about but they couldn't do anything about it.

The average core NW and NE don't want the INEC chairman but we have only be seeing their renting on social media.

The current reality about Nigeria politics most especially in the north, the NW in particular are realizing their numbers alone can't win presidential election, Buhari tried severally

Abeg, are Ipob also Muslim or practicing Sharia as this hypocrite lawyer might not be aware

South South is locked though. The states within will be dragging who to give highest votes

You could have added just N20 trillion.

The initial report I read, the amount is N80 quadrillion

budaatum:
I am waiting for helinues or you to explain this constitution to me please,

It would be a waste of time to explain if you didn't know about it prior

Parachoko:
They have the numbers.

During the VAT debacle, Asiwaju proposed that the states generating the VATs should keep 60% of what they generate, the Northern Lawmakers didn't support the proposal and it has to be reduced to about 30% or 20%

And I don't think only Politicians from the North will be against a total restructuring. Even some Politicians from the South will reject it.

A lot of states will Collapse without the Oil money from ABJ

The proposal didn't go through house voting if not , northerners would have lost out. Anything restructuring, southerners irrespective of regions will support it.

North East and NW politicians have been the the one being disgruntled with president Tinubu. Both region don't have the numbers to overturn major decisions

Parachoko:
Asiwaju can't restructure without the support of Northern Lawmakers

The disgruntled northerners at both senate and house of rep don't have the numbers

This guy again with his fabricated lies

He doesn't even know how casted he's in this forum

Lovelink1991:
Hmmmmmm, it is easier said than done

You are not satisfied because that didn't suit your expectations right?

Our style of politics have always been different

Annoyingly, Obidients are the one who have been shouting rigging since 2023 when in reality South East where their principal is from lead the way in the most rigged region

They have mastered hypocrisy so tey to believe anything coming out from their mouth is really not advisable

budaatum:
Did you just ignore the "if"?

No, I do not "mean Atiku can become a VP for the third time", since I don't know how or if the majority of Nigerians will vote for anything with his name on it as he is not loving Nigeria at all in my own opinion, but to add to your disappointment perhaps, since you think it matters, Obi - and I am Obidient, due to my anti-continuance of APC and despite my ọmọ wa ni, I can not see Obi winning the presidency against Tinubu without a hefty Northerner by his side.

And that's apart from the fact that Tinubu, despite life in Nigeria being more expensive and harder now that we can no more freely eat the subsidised fruit of every tree and now have to sweat from our own brow to feed our own bellies, has done some things that some seem to appreciate, hence their support, and some of those things will prepare us for our futures when everything will cost hundreds times what it cost today, unless you wanna argue we aren't capitalised enough for that yet or wouldn't definitely become in the future

I just wish he would stop government subsidizing wages for employers and scrap NYSC though, so employers are not incentivised to create a lack of the unskilled, but I would only mention that to disappoint you further.

Your if didn't cover the poster you attached by yourself

Moreover, your epistle didn't answer my simple question. Where is it in Nigeria constitution that one can be a vice president for 3 times

Lovelink1991:
So religion can be used as an instrument to generate vote in 2027?

Politics in any religion place is a capital No for me

It's abuse of position to be using your platform that's for something different to be discussing politics. So many media are making that bug mistake.

Perhaps you missed that

The herdsmen in Southern regions, who owns the cows they are herding?

This one better face is cashivist and stay out of politics

Lovelink1991:
Money and gift including tribalism has blindfolded many of them. Yoruba lo Kan. You are yet to see pastors that will do the unimaginable before 2027 election

Make una no go there. We are condemning this without giving excuses like some people. We have seen several videos in church promoting a particular candidate but his supporters can never see anything wrong in that

You can only force a horse to the river, you can't force it to drink

Politics in any religion place is a capital No for me

It's abuse of position to be using your platform that's for something different to be discussing politics. So many media are making that bug mistake.

Generally, your members must be for different candidates, play neutral and let them decide the best on their own without causing confusion

There is no confusion. How many attacks have we been able to stop before the attack is carried out?

Homeland security can be the department to be handling pre event, gathering of Intel and information which the main office can use for counter attack on field

Probably the position was suggested by USA

It's disappointing for you to make this kind of thread

You mean Atiku can become a VP for the third time?

Evanderbright:
Mehn don’t be heartless na

What kind of wicked statement is this?

Which part of my statement is heartless?

Paying bills is only part of the responsibility not the main.

A married man that want to be coming home at odd hours shouldn't expect a peaceful home.

Also, the monopoly of cheating, guys should have a rethink, if you can cheat, so as your partner

If Buhari can be claimed to be a clone of one Jubril from Sudan and sine people believed it firmly, the acclaimed Lekki massacre is another concocted story by the originator of Jubril story

That one is your problem. Wondering why you are talking now

CharleyBright:
Different strokes for different folks.
Am more at home with Manual.
I enjoy the power and confidence everytime I change gears with Manual cars.

There is more conformity in driving an automatic car compared to a manual car. This is not about different folks, it's something that should be logical

With automatic, you don't stress above gear movement, just control the pedals compared to manual you have to be adjusting the pedals with gear

Delat521:
Abeg to disagree with this assertion. It's better to start with manual driving first before automatic. You should have learn rigorous driving experience thru manual first.

I learnt thru that and I drive automatic later effortlessly without even training. So once you're perfect with manual you get get along with automatic not vice versa.

Automatic driving give more confort in driving compared to manual. Put reversing gear with auto and manual as example

CharleyBright:
Nope, I answered him accordingly in my initial post that he should go for Manual if it is his first car because of the advantages of manual.

However, I am replied you based on your response about Manual being cumbersome and giving drivers anxiety in traffic.
That is why I asked you if you know how to drive Manual? And you seem to be avoiding answering the question.
Obviously, you don't know how to drive a manual car. So you are not in the position to give advise on what you don't know.
Like I said earlier, if you only drive Automatic car, you only know how to "move a car" . Go and learn to drive a manual car so you can confidently tell anyone that you can "Drive a car".
Knowing how to move a car is different from knowing how to drive a car.

I started reversing and moving forward even before dad taught me how to drive. The place at which the car is parked is open to canal, learning with manual in such kind of place boost more than confident in driving

But in generally driving, you feel relax with automatic car than manual

commoditiesnig:
Although it’s a smart move, isn’t Homeland supposed to be part of NSA? I hope there wouldn’t be conflict in scope of work.

We need to have a division in NSA dedicated for pre criminal attack or operation which I think homeland should be good at, let the other division handle the field operation, counter attack n after getting credible Intel from the homeland

CharleyBright:
Dude, be honest and tell me, do you drive a manual? Yes or No.

I am almost sure you have never driven a Manual car and that is why you are talking about anxiety with changing gears in traffic.
There is absolutely no big deal with changing gears in traffic if you learnt to drive Manual cars. Infact, you can change gears with your eyes close and unconsciously if you have been driving manual for over 3 months.

See most of you that learned to drive Automatic without learning to drive Manual first always come with these kinds of crappy talk.
If you go to driving school, they will advise you to learn to drive Manual instead of automatic. E get why.
They use Manual to teach you how to drive.

The reason is that when you use a Manual car, you are learning to "Drive a Car" .
But when you use an Automatic car, you are learning to "Move a car".

All you people driving automatic cars, only know how to move a car . Go back and learn how to drive a car with Manual.

My neighbor had a terrible experience some years back. His wife was in labour at midnight and needed to rush to the hospital.
His automatic car couldn't start. I had travelled when he called for help. I told him to go collect my car keys and drive his wife to hospital. Lo and behold, he only knew how to drive Automatic and my car then was Manual. It was then it dawn on him that he did not actually know how to drive but only knew how to move an automatic car.

Go back and learn how to drive using a Manual drive which would give you an advantage of being able to drive both automatic and manual.

You are mixing things together. Learning a car is different from what the discussion is all about

Is It Wise To Buy A Manual Transmission As A First Car?

The op is asking about buying first car. Whether you learn manual or automatic driving, which do you think you will enjoy the driving most on your first car

lailo:
This is the mentality the society instill in men. It is the responsibility of the man to make the money, the woman has no role doing so yet the scarce most lucrative jobs and opportunity keep going to the female folks. A female is more likely to get juicy white collar employment after education than an average male. The society placed the financial responsibilities on men and u just also echoed such manipulation.

This is not about mentality of financial burden on men..A guy going into any relationship should be financial okay by himself.

Yes ladies have privileges than men but in exchange for what? Would you prefer your girl to use her body to get opportunity or you as a guy do the responsibility part?

CharleyBright:
Where did you hear this kind of theory?
Learn to drive Automatic first before Manual?
That's awkward advise.
If you learn to drive Manual, you can drive Automatic.
But if you learn auto first, you will have problems with Manual while learning.

I am not particularly talking about the driving part but the safety and gaining confidence on road with first car.

There is anxiety sometimes when changing gear most especially in traffic, the calmness and confidence need to be mastered before enjoying manual car.

it's wise and advisable as a first time car owner to get automatic car

Use that to master driving and confidence on the road before going for manual

Manual car was created mostly for conformity. If you want a smooth ride with your first car, go for automatic

A lady which I could have married may be, she broke up with me almost because of the brokenness limit..

Not that she was aware or have a clue about my financial degrading. After she finished school, she was still around campus as I was around, too when I realized things wasn't going fine, I had this opportunity of extra change and told her to return back home ( She's from above average family). I can struggle alone as a guy

She left, 6 months later, I was almost unrecognized, I didn't let her have any clue until she said she would be coming to town, heh, before then, a friend saw me in town and asked, What happened to you, as a guy, I understand more than the question.

The lady could have actually helped, infact she could have asked money directly from her mom to assist me because I was liked and trusted by part of her family. I didn't let her know

Her coming to town, i already gave some attitude to avoid meeting by all means and I was successful, but unfortunately for me, the day she would be coming, she called, I didn't pick, she has been calling before the day, so i went to town to do something, on my way back on motor bike, I heard someone calling my name, even without looking back, the voice was her , I turned to confirm, behold it was her, at that moment, the only thing on my head was to just pretend like I didn't recognize the person or the calling.

Worsted decision ever in my life. I left, just told the bike man to continue moving. We moved a bit and the bike man asked , someone called you the other time as he slowed down when I looked back, when I told him it was my then current girlfriend, he first parked, look back and gave me this mean look, you are wicked

If she eventually broke up with me because of that particular ignoring, I deserved it. Till today, she never heard the major reason why I ignored on that day even though we met 2-3 times after..

The story is good to tell today because things changed for good , there wasn't that much regret about everything.

I made my financial burden then mostly on my elder sister, I prefer that to girlfriend
