5. FEMI FALANA, SAN
I am nominating Falana based on his consistent timely interventions in local political issues. Although he hasn't handled a public political office to prove what he can do as a President, he has enough professional and leadership experience to compensate for that. Falana's track records also portray him as a conscientious Nigerian.

Look at how this thread is deserted and you realize why Nigeria is the way it is. The corrupt elders are not our number 1 problem. The political apathy of our youths is. Well done op. I nominate Donald Duke.
fergie001:
Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Mr. Peter Obi (in no order).

The reality is they do not have enough political base but when fully backed, any of them will do very well.

Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN (a good pick but he wouldn't have the backing from the homefront).

Our Politics is too toxic for this two (Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala & Mr. Akinwunmi Adesina), otherwise they will be top on my list.
I need you guys to also think beyond my list in making your suggestions. May be there are great candidates that I left out. My aim here is to make us brainstorm on the way forward. We need to think deep.

4. MR. DONALD DUKE
If you remember many innovative economic steps taken by Mr. Donald Duke in his days as the Governor of Cross River, you may not need anyone to tell you that he has what it takes to make a grand positive difference if he ever gets an opportunity to lead the country as a President. One area he stood out was in his creative IGR strategies whereby he created big revenue streams for the state out of nowhere.

For instance, with his famous Calabar Carnival, Mr. Duke instantly turned Calabar into an international tourist destination. He also did more in tourism by upgrading Obudu Cattle Ranch to an international standard (although I wonder why cattle is not ranched at the cattle ranch). The sheer cleanliness of the city of Calabar in Duke's days was enough tourist asset.

Then, Tinapa also comes to mind.

Donald Duke's extraordinary simplicity also speaks eloquently. He kept a low profile in his days as a governor. He continued with the title of 'Mr' even when he was doing better than professors. He never allowed his photo to be hung in public offices. And, he has never used his position as an ex-governor to gain political advantage over anyone. It's the reason he never went to the Senate like most other ex-governors.

3. DR. OGBONNAYA ONU
The first Executive Governor of Abia State, the immediate past Minister of Science and Technology, and the current Secretary to the Government of the Federation is a gentleman who hardly talks. So, many people may have written him off or even failed to notice him as a good candidate to take over the mantle of the Nigerian Presidency.

But, my reason for nominating him is due to his past records, intelligence, and personal stability. In case you don't know it, this is one of the few Nigerians who stuck with the opposition through out the PDP years. In a country where most politicians are prostitutes who keep switching sides based on what is convenient, this is a very commendable background to have.

A first-class graduate of chemical engineering from the University of Lagos who also holds a PhD in chemical engineering from the prestigious University of California in Berkeley, Onu is notably intelligent. And, he has maintained this intelligence all these years.

On the lighter side, as a chemical engineer who knows how to mix different chemicals, expect that Onu would be particularly good at administering a mixed country like Nigeria. There is truth in this joke though. You just need to see how cordially Onu is able to relate with people from different parts of the country to know that his PhD in chemical engineering also has a social twist to it. I also know him as a 'silent philanthropist'. He helps people without making noise about it.

2. MRS. AISHA SOMTOCHUKWU YESUFU
I believe that the ideal candidate for the position of the Nigerian President should be someone who is so dogged and so selfless that he/she would be ready to die for the country. Currently, there's hardly any Nigerian who fits into this description better than the BBOG amazon Aisha Yesufu.

Many times, the woman has put her life on the line even when she didn't seem to have any political clout backing her up. Such a person would go to any length to make any sacrifice needed to push the country forward.

Moreover, as an Edo woman raised in the North, and married to an Igbo man, as a Muslim who has lived among Christians, Aisha's kind of socio-political balance can hardly be matched by anyone else. Being a woman also and originally from a minority tribe, this would be a great opportunity to show the world that we're not all about terrorism. Instead, we're a country that treasures justice, equity and fairness. Of course, these are the very values that Aisha represents.

Aisha Yesufu and Reno Omokry? You probably think wining the presidency is a kind of joke, right?
PoliticsRe: Southern Nigerians Who Should Take Over From Buhari: Who Are They And Why? by HelloWriter(op): 5:34pm On Sep 18, 2021
1. PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is far from being my first choice. But I have listed him first to avoid jolting the readers. At least, it doesn't sound too radical to advocate for the current VP to take over from his principal. Otherwise, what I would suggest is a system overhaul where it's not the usual kind of succession that gets thrown up.

That being said, as a professor of law and someone who has been in government from the state levels for a long time, there is no doubt that Professor Osinbajo is quite competent to lead our embattled country at these trying times.

Also, as a pastor of a well-known church, I want to believe that Professor Osinbajo would be conscious of not messing up his name and the name of his church - if not for any other reason. We've seen him pilot the country a few times that his principal handed over to him while traveling.

In terms of image-marketing (which is a very important issue in international politics), the average Nigerian would be proud to have someone like Professor Osinbajo to represent him. His grasp on issues, his ability at expressing them, and his overall stature can foot the bill of a President anywhere in the world.

On the lighter side, even Trump in his second coming would be afraid to describe Osinbajo as "lifeless" or else, he'd bamboozle him with legal terms grin

Below is my own list. While you give your own opinions, I will also be commenting individually on these candidates and why I think they should be considered.

At last, I will mention just ONE of them who is my pick of all picks and why. I urge y'all to take this thread seriously enough because "our mumu don do" and we should be tired of suffering and of our destinies being used for endless political experiments.

1. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
2. Mrs. Aisha Yesufu
3. Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu
4. Mr. Donald Duke
5. Mr. Femi Falana, SAN
6. Mr. Peter Obi
7. Mr. Babatunde Fashola, SAN
8. Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
9. Professor Pat Utomi
10. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu
11. Mr. Akinwunmi Adesina
12. Hon. Ike Ekweremmadu
13. Barr. Reno Omokri

NOTE: Remember that I haven't listed these people because any of them is PERFECT. There's no such a thing as a perfect person. Instead, I have listed these people because I think that each of them has enough conscience and competence to take Nigeria some steps forward rather than backwards as we've had it these last 6 years plus.
PoliticsSouthern Nigerians Who Should Take Over From Buhari: Who Are They And Why? by HelloWriter(op): 5:08pm On Sep 18, 2021
With the current stance of the Southern Governors' Forum on who should succeed the present Nigerian President, a brand new political climate has been ushered in. The Forum's position is that the next Nigerian President MUST come from the South.

From my past observation of the Northern politicians, this is how I expect they are going to respond to this position of the Southern governors:

1. Using the money made from Southern oil fields, they will try to buy over the Southern governors. They will not like to go far with a confrontational approach because this can easily lead the Southern governors to go secessionist, possibly pushing for a Republic of Southern Nigeria. Of course, that is the last thing the North ever wants.

2. If they fail to buy over a good number of the Southern governors, they will support one of them (or some other Southern politician) who dances to the Northern tune to succeed the current President. In that case, fellows like Hope Uzodinma, Bola Tinubu, Kayode Fayemi, and Rochas Okorocha will feature prominently. The problem is that, with any of such candidates, the interests of the North may even be better represented than those of the South.

After all, what the Southern governors asked for is only for a Southerner to succeed the current President. As Governor Akeredolu put it bluntly recently...

“ If my president, Muhammadu Buhari has ruled for eight years, then it cannot be from the North again. The next president must come from the South. We have not gotten to the stage where we will say let us give it to somebody who is competent”.
But, I tell you my people that, if we're to accept that bolded part out of desperation, we are going to regret it as many of us are now regretting to have supported a Buhari Presidency. No, we shouldn't want just ANY Southerner to represent the South this time.

SOUTHERN YOUTHS ARISE!!!

Thus, after the Southern governors have said their minds on the issue, the people should say their minds too. Otherwise, we'd soon be going through another 8-year cycle of suffering-and-complaining.

Are we ready for that? Surely no. Therefore, let the position of the Nairaland community on this issue be made known through individual viewpoints here. We Nigerian youths (especially from the South) should stop being politically lazy. Instead, we should be politically up and doing. We should be making our political position clear. We should also be participating in the political process.

So, who is that Southern Nigerian YOU personally want to succeed President Buhari and why?
CrimeAn Important Hack Alert For Google Chrome Users by HelloWriter(op): 8:41am On Sep 18, 2021
If you use Google Chrome, I strongly urge you to read this. Although the alert is for devices running on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, I advise those on other operating systems to take note of the bolded part also. This way, you can stay proactive. That's because, in issues of security, it always pays to be ahead of the status quo.

Google Chrome, approximately used by 2.65BN users, dominates the web browser market.

The problem with such dominance, however, is Chrome has become the number one target for hackers and now Google has had to issue another serious upgrade warning.

This dominance has caused it to be a major target for hackers. The company recently issued an upgrade warning to its users.

In a blog post, the company said two new ‘zero-day’ exploits CVE-2021-30632 and CVE-2021-30633 were discovered in Chrome for Linux, macOS and Windows and they came from anonymous tip-offs.

“Google is aware that exploits for CVE-2021-30632 and CVE-2021-30633 exist in the wild,” the company said.

According to Kapersky, zero-day exploit is the method hackers use to attack systems with a previously unidentified vulnerability. In the case of Chrome, it means that the hackers were able to exploit them before Google could release fixes for them.

Google said a stable channel has been updated to 93.0.4577.82 for Windows, Mac and Linux which will roll out over the coming days/weeks.

To combat these new threats, Chrome users can navigate to Settings > Help > About Google Chrome to check the version of their browser or update to the latest version available. If your browser version on Linux, macOS or Windows is listed as 93.0.4577.82 or above you are safe. It is important for users to always keep their browsers up-to-date.

This is not the first time that Google’s Chrome is encountering zero-day threats. Earlier this year, the company issued updates after suffering a series of zero-day threats that stemmed from a bug in the V8 JavaScript engine used in the web browser. The company is actively fixing these vulnerabilities at a rapid rate.

PoliticsWhat Happens If Reno Omokri Joins APC? by HelloWriter(op): 5:40pm On Sep 16, 2021
Fellows like Oshiomhole, Akpabio, Keyamo, and FFK have proved to me that almost any politician can switch sides any time.

Someone even quipped that GEJ, Peter Obi, and Wike will soon be joining FFK in his new party. Imagine that Reno Omokri moves with his boss GEJ! Just imagine.

In as much as I am far from being a fan of Buhari and Tinubu, this is one instance where I respect them: their political doggedness alongside people like Ogbonnaya Ọnụ. These guys remained in the opposition throughout the PDP days when it looked like there was zero hope for anyone in any other political side.
PoliticsIs There Any Advantage In Being Broke? by HelloWriter(op): 4:27pm On Sep 16, 2021
As the economy bites harder, maybe, this will help some of us to cope with the situation. So, let's pause to ponder on this:

Many people believe that...

1. ANYTHING THAT HAS ADVANTAGES ALSO HAS DISADVANTAGES

and

2. ANYTHING THAT HAS DISADVANTAGES ALSO HAS ADVANTAGES.

When it comes to having money, we all know the advantages of having a fat bank account. I have also seen people talk about the disadvantages of being rich (although they may sound like consolation theology grin).

But, coming to poverty, everyone talks only about its disadvantages and never (or hardly) its advantages - which is unfair cool

Now, let's also remember that being broke has its advantages also. Here is a little personal story to prove it:

Until I started working from home, I never really appreciated the health benefits of sunshine. When I was a construction supervisor, I felt I was suffering a lot because I often worked under hot afternoon sun. But I was hardly ever sick in those days.

But when I started working from home, sometimes, I would be so focused on a job that I would stay indoors during the day for several days. I started getting sick often. Then, I realized that it was because I wasn't getting enough sunshine.

So, now, I spend a significant part of every afternoon taking a walk under the sun. Today, I was taking my afternoon walk when I saw some guys hitting it out at a quarry. So, I had to talk to them, tell them my story, and let them know the health benefits of the kind of job they do. Many of them agreed with me.

So, if you are doing a 'poor' job where you spend most of the day in the open, I advise you, don't envy those who work in air-conditioned rooms and drive in air-conditioned cars.

Now, you can share any other advantage of being broke that you know.
