"If not for the corruption,......." Well, it takes more than the absence of corruption to build a progressive society. If Nigerians do not have what it takes to subdue corruption, the idea of building a progressive society is pipedream. Nigeria is not configured for such growth.

babaolofin:
He revealed a bitter truth. He said the Governor being the CSO of the State is merely Ceremonial. In reality, what he said is that the State governor is not the CSO of the State.

When did CEO of state become CSO? The president is chief execute officer of the country such as Nigeria hence the executive president. The president is not the chief security officer. The same thing befalls governor of the states. The governor is the chief executive officer of state hence the executive governor. The setup is likened to corporate standard where the CEO is not CSO. A person cannot be a chairman and gateman at the same time. Nigerians tend to coin craps in the newspaper which find their way into psychic of the society. Nigerian police are not apparatus of any state in Nigeria therefore the state governor does not control the ranks of the force.

Sanwo-olu played to the gallery and received a little of he bargained. The governor of Lagos State has no business confronting a field officer who detailed to Lagos from Abuja on the order of the IGP. If governor had issue with deployment of the police officer to Lagos, he would have called the IGP or Minister of Internal affairs who runs supposedly the appropriate ministry for police affairs.

Ordinary Power supply Nigeria dey struggle to get it right

Have you thought about Nigerians going their different ways for a change?

Most young Nigerians no longer believe in Nigeria because of its economic woes. At a time most Americans were so poor they couldn't afford nothing to eat. This during the great depression of the 1930s. Yet Americans didn't run away or curse their country

Do you want the shithole country, Nigeria, to remain like 1930 USA?

Zandena:
You are not addressing his argument rather went ahead to ridicule the entity Nigeria, as usually expected of you fools.
Barrister you have done well!

It is unfortunate you chose to fall into the same pit as the lawyer. The lawyer's moronic argument was on superiority, and I refused to join issue with the baseless plank. An appointed goon cannot claim any form of superiority over elected official. In terms of level and based on the tier of governments, Governor of a state and President of the country are executive leaders. If there is a conflict of the laws, federal government trumps the state. However, on the constitutional logjam, the courts shall resolve the issue. Even the President of country cannot dictate to Governor of a state. If the president of the country cannot dictate to the state governor, where did the so-called lawyer sniff the silly idea of IGP being superior to the governor? If Nigeria is running democratic government, there should have been state police and national guard.

Pakute:
Are you this dumb?.. Can't you goggle the full meaning of BOI and identify the one that best correspond to Nigeria?. I'm i responsible for your low IQ?

Of course, I can Google. Talk of intelligence quotient, I can bet my last cent that a jackass such as you have not seen a question from intelligence quotient test. Yet this malnourished scoundrel had the effrontery to speak ill about a person who scored a genius mark. What a dunce. Again, which constitutional conference was the issue of secession tabled?

Pakute:
This is why I will never feel sorry for any sufferings and heavy hammering that befall you in this country. When a bunch of subhumans are fond of lying & twisting historical facts to sort of console themselves, karma is waiting for your 100th generation. You're the 7th or 8th generation after Zik, you still have 92-93 generations to suffer.

There is nothing to say to born again fool whose basic source of knowledge is Google. Google is great for humans who know how to use it. However, dumbass stiffs such you would render google a turn off.

Pakute:
See this itibolibo. Are you fighting with Google?

I can deduce a classified dumbass fool when I read from one. You have not realized that a jackass and clueless stiff like you can edit certain entries dredged up by Google. What a dunce.

Pakute:
Fajuyi was shot because he slept with their wives.. goat.

Only fools keep saying one person.. It was a debate for or against succession and the most adjudged conviction had it. The British was disposed to his points. His speech could be found every where on the internet. Do you think everyone is as dumb as you are.

Goat, Lt Col Francis Fajuiyi was shot because mutinous soldiers from northern region of Nigeria had implicated him as the ringleader of January 15, 1966 coup. Please for sake of clarity, what constitutional conference was the issue of secession debated? I guess Internet is the sole source of your idiotic knowledge. No wonder you write like a typical fool.

Pakute:
I'm not a sentimental goat like you guys. Go & check the amount in billions of dollars that BOI gave to innoson for his start up, how many Nigerians had access to such?. Coscharis like Dangote was given the Monopoly for car spare parts imports & assembly.
Orange drugs had the same license to import pharmaceutical products through out the country. You dimwits complain about Dangote enjoying monopoly whereas ibo business men have been beneficiaries at some point yet nobody made a noise about it.

A person with good social order does not use acronym in a debate.

Pakute:
Little fláthead, can you tell us how Fajuyi died?
Moreso, you're so dumb to think that the dismissal of succession clause was an option of minority vs majority votes.
I have always said that you guys are only capable of thinking like a goat. What manner of an idiot thinks that the Independence constitution was as a result of three people in a room casting their votes for or against. You think you can exonerate your dumbhead forefather, Azikiwe who DEBATED and CONVINCED the British Authorities never to approve of succession clause into the Constitution. The greed Azikiwe sowed years back, you, his offsprings are all reaping now.

Big oblong head, the bolded is one of the reasons you roam around Lagos streets without a job. Of course, Fajuiyi was shot by the mutinous soldiers from northern region of Nigeria. My post never remotely indicated dismissal of any clause if even there was such a nonsensical instance during the constitutional conferences toward granting independence to Nigeria. Only a fool will remotely believe that one person in Azikwe will debate against eminent Nigerians who attended the conferences and singlehandedly convinced the British colonialists who did not even liked Azikwe to disapprove the inclusion of secession into Nigerian constitution. The manner which you write indicated you have comprehension issue.

SATANICALLY666:
The IGP Is Superior To Governors ⁠— Lawyer Ndakudu Adam (First Class)

Constitutionally, the IGP is superior to the Governor of a State. Aside that the IGP is an appointee of the President, the Governors have no power to give directive to the IGP. The only police officer the Governor may give directive to is the Commissioner of Police of that state and compliance with this directive is subject to being referred to the President or the Minister appointed in that regard. Section 215(4) is very clear on this point.

The IGP is far superior to a Commissioner of Police and cannot take orders or directive from a Governor simply because the Governor is the Chief Security Officer of the State. The power of IGP covers the entire Federation unlike the Governor. Being a CSO is merely ceremonial and there's no way the President or Minister will decide on whether the Commissioner of Police should comply with the directive of the Governor without consulting with the Inspector General of Police.

Lawyer Muhammed Ndakudu Adam, you are one of the reasons Nigeria is termed basket of fools. Mallam Muhammadu Buhari is the CSO of Nigeria. No wonder Nigeria is the playground of the bandits.

Coldshisha:
So how will all this help give a date for referendum... Or isn't that what this is all about

The bolded is a product of figment of imagination. How many countries in the world have been born as a result of referendum? Nigeria must be disintegrated, period.

babasolution:
The south condones biases against them

The mischievous population figure of Nigeria remined one of the reasons behind the January 15, 1966 coup in Nigeria. However, certain goons from southern Nigeria joined forces with northern region against eastern region of Nigeria. Most foolish folks from southern Nigeria will love to suffer as long as Ndigbo are held down too.

Afe Babalola: Nigeria Will Collapse If It Conducts 2023 Poll With 1999 Constitution

...claims herbal drug produced by researchers in his university healed COVID-19 patients.

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Aare Afe Babalola has said that Nigeria might disintegrate if the 2023 general elections is conducted with the present 1999 Constitution, IgbereTV reports.

The founder, Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti who spoke on Tuesday January 4, during a ceremony to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the establishment of ABUAD, said there's need for the National Assembly to pass a resolution adopting the 1960 Constitution before the next general elections.

Babalola also spoke against recycling old leaders as they will 'ruin' Nigeria using the present constitution. The educationist noted that the nation has been facing a series of challenges created by the 1999 constitution imposed on the people by the military.

He said;

“I am happy that I conceived this university 12 years ago and since then, we have been going from strength to strength, making exploits in all our endeavours. Our vision is to make this place a great institution in university education in the country through teaching, research and community service.

"We must avoid recycling the old failed leaders in the governance of this country. Any mistake of electing a new set of leaders under the present constitution will ruin Nigeria completely.

“The simple way out is for the National Assembly to pass a resolution adopting the 1960/1963 Constitution with necessary amendments such as having in place six regions and a one-house parliament.”

He also claimed that a herbal drug produced by the instutution's researchers, healed 19 COVID-19 patients.

Babalola added;

“I can confirm to you today that our herbal drug produced through extensive research by our team of researchers has healed about 19 patients, who were infected with COVID-19. They were healed perfectly in less than five days of use. That tells you the level of our research in ABUAD."

The senior lawyer also faulted the National Assembly over increasing creation of universities across the country, saying the development had usurped the power of the National Universities Commission as prescribed by law on the establishment of the institutions.

He claimed that this will have an adverse effects on the nation’s education sector, and further called on the Ministry of Education and the NUC “to exercise their powers to checkmate this in the interest of quality education in the country.”

Babalola added;

“Every attempt must be made by all stakeholders to put a lid on the establishment of political universities that hardly survive those who put them in place after they are out of power, otherwise there will be a crash in the quality of private universities."

What a silly talk is the bolded? Why do certain old folks from Yoruba behave like overfed teenagers? The year 2023 is already in the corner and Nigeria cannot produce a new constitution within the period of 365 days. The so-called SAN would have made enough sense if he had said Nigeria could collapse due to 2023 election.

TooNoisy:
Stop shouting there.... Ikpeazu, Uzodinma, Obiano, Umahi, Ugwuanyi, Onu and Ngige are all failures too. I can go on and on - Udenwa, Theodore Orji, Chris Uba, Ifeanyi Ubah, Okorocha, Ohakim. The problem with the Igbos is that you lack good leadership. You don't have leaders and that is why you cannot even present a credible candidate for elections. If you cannot present a candidate, how can you win?

You need to start grooming leaders and then people will take you seriously. The people I have listed are semi-illitrates who don't have any following. A few of them only won through Supreme court judgements.

As compared to who? You must provide a similarity table so bystanders could be able to deduce if the mentioned governors were failures. The standard of failure does not come from the figment of imagination which belongs to a borderline fool.

TooNoisy:
For example, when you remind them that an Igbo son - Nnamdi Azikiwe - was the person that made referendums and secession a treasonable felony, they will deny and try to rewrite history. Both Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello wanted the regions to have the option to secede but Azikiwe was against it and the British sided with him.

When you remind them that 5 Igbo soldiers truncated our First Republic and brought in the military who had no idea of governance, they will deny and try to change history. They did not complain then, because an Igbo man became president, but when the Northerners took over, they became bitter.

When you remind them that an Igbo man - Aguiyi Ironsi - declared the Unitary System of Government and declared that all resources in the regions now belonged to the Government at the center; they will deny and try to change history. Now they call other tribes unity beggars.

Only a fool will continue to regurgitate this conjectural crap because Ndigbo wanted out of the shithole called Nigeria in late 60s. What happened to similar crap that Lt Col Francis Fajuiyi wanted to die with Ironsi? Was Azikwe the final arbiter on what remained or vacated Nigerian constitution? When did Azikwe become the British colonialist? Any member of the constitutional conference had an opinion which was debated, agreed or disagreed. No one member decided what was left or removed. For the sake of posterity, If Awolowo and Bello wanted the regions to have the option to secede, a person wonders what stopped such clause since majority carries the vote. I guess you are smart enough to realize that two heads are better than one. You are very noisy instead of studious.

Blue3k:
Certain people like to ask how can desert northern Nigeria be more populated that tropical southern Nigeria. That argument rest on two false premises that are easily be refuted with common sense or some basic research. Northern Nigeria isn’t a desert and most of Nigeria is tropical savannah. Nigeria also has extensive river system that can easily support its large population. Note none of this tells which population is larger at any given time that’s why the census is conducted.

A desert is a place that gets less than 250 mm of rain per year. (Map below)

Most of northern Nigeria is Tropical wet and dry climate type with semi-arid climate in the northern most parts of the northwestern and northeastern Nigeria. Only a sliver of Borno is desert at the border of Niger Republic. (Map below)

Kano, Kano – 674 mm

The mischievous manipulation by the piggy British colonialists

Reno Omokri comes across as a dumbass.

Maxymilliano:
Gumi has done head count for his boys and none is missing ...

You could not be more correct. The dude is an insider.

criminalmindz:
He's mad he thinks Niger delta is ikwerre land or Rivers state pdp where nobody can stand up to him. If they born you well enter warri or bayelsa and repeat that nonsense

Why are fools who had never even engaged in a fist fight always tend to warm people of body harm?

Leahla:
He must have a reason for saying that

To allow such idiocy in the often claims by Ijaw could lead to unexpected consequences. Ijaw peeps believed that repeated lies lead to a de facto truth. They have failed in attempt to claim Ubani (Bonny), Igwenga/Opu Obu (Opobo), Udekanma (Degema), Umuokirika (Okrika) and Igweocha (Port Harcourt) are Ijaw.

Tingotoe:
You and your kids are inconsequential in the Nigerian scheme of things. Your Biafra remains a mirage your kids will never see

Why are you so moronically twisted because certain people are agitating for self-determination? You sound so scared to stand alone. I guess nation building does not include stiffs.

Ofodirinwa:
Good time for you to invest in a poultry farm.

Ofo, Ndigbo are touted as people with something above their shoulders. Therefore, Ndigbo must always carry such a pedigree.

Pakute:
What Awolowo saw sitting down 60 years ago, your forefathers led by Azikiwe couldn't see it while climbing the tallest building in Alaigbo.. We die here.

Ranting of an ant.

jmoore:
The terrorist group IPOB has been declaring ridiculous bans like banning Nigerian anthem, Northern breed of cows etc.

I want to suggest another ban to their foolish list. They should ban use of naira.

You are typical Nigerian with a questionable intellect. I guess the ban was specific in reference to schools. If you were smart, you would have requested for the ban of naira in schools. Agbaya!!!

Solsix:
IPOB are driven by hate simple. How can you buy cow meat when you don't have alternative??

Arrant nonsense!!

I must advise IPOB to be very prudent in the pronouncement of decrees and ordinances. The Cow ban flies in the face of progress. There are not enough numbers of Igbo Cow to sustain such a decree. Please do not promulgate decrees that can be easily floated thereby attract severe consequences. Nnmadi Kanu and IPOB remain relevant due to the well-wish from Ndigbo.

Ngige remains a dumbass fool. You knew there were godfathers in Anambra State, yet you agreed to do their biddings. He who eats with the devils is also a devil. Ngige, shut up your putrid mouth because you are no good.
