I stumbled on this video of two lover birds ( Owls ) and I was amazed at their social lives, which is so similar to humans . Then I started to ask myself why do we attack and kill these wonderful birds ?. I didn't know owls are so responsible and dedicated to Thier partners and love ones. If only all these broke guys on Nairaland, that have been bashing ladies up & down, becos they manage take a lady out on date and spent N5k, will not let us year word , can learn one or two things from these male owl. They should understand that life is what it is and must stop complaining about why women are always eager to be showered with love and affection by men who are capable of taking good care of them .
Dear penniless and broken hearted guys on nairaland, you must stop taking out your frustration on ladies .You must realise that men are designed to be the providers and most go out of Thier way to win Thier woman's affection and love them ..Just like what the male owl did to his lover . :Hahaha!! Please you guys should watch this video oo! And study how the male owl showed his love and dedication to his woman all through without complaining . So stop complaining about ladies & stop batching them up and down . Nairaland women are innocent and are not responsible for your predicament.So, stop the women bashing and know that the world is design for men to work hard and provide for their homes. while Thier wives are there to support them in anyway they can and not the other way round.
Finally to my fellow superstitious Nigerians, stop killing owls. instead you all have one or two things to learn from them . They are wonderful bird that should be protected and not killed due to our dark ways of reasoning. Protect our Owls .
Buni was never his enemy, it was all media propaganda and Tinubu perfectly knows this.. in fact Buni has done more for Tinubu than Oshiomhole
Oshiomhole was busy attracting enemies for BAT, while Buni is tactically poaching opposition figure
tamdun: don't even understand the game asiwaju is playing anymore, he has a way of turning enemies to friends, the last visit was Afenifere and now Buni...
Please, I beg u!!! I believe u posted this in a hurry.. just go back again and reread what u wrote, and ponder if u made any sense
emmykk: APC will be giving the presidential ticket to Tinubu from south west in 2023 while PDP will give it to a Northern so as to put a good fight and possibly win the election.
PDP giving it ticket to either South south or south east will make APC have a landslide win because BUHARI will easily rig in Tinubu at the detriment of the supposed SS or SE that should produce the president base on equity and fairness in the south.
You can't say power should come to the south then the region that have produce a president before is still well position to snatch it that is unfair. It be at were it is before before the ambition of the herod dies.
The south will suffer from the betrayal that the yoruba sow in the election that produce BUHARI. Self inflicted pain.
The north on their own are ready to grab PDP ticket and support PDP after all like south east the north central and north east are yet to produce president since 1999.They will see it as their opportunity.
The PDP are mainly made up of South South Governors so I guess they will be VP to a Northern presidential candidate.
The APC Northern Cabal if they see that PDP presents a formidable candidates that can defeat Tinubu they will give TINUBU surprises betrayal and vote a northern candidate of Northern extraction during APC primaries and rig the PDP northern candidate out.
The south east that is powerless politically now from the scheme of things will have the best laugh in the future but not in 2023 because a new hatred will open up between north and south west..after 2023.
On a final note any person can be president of this country in 2023 and nothing will happen.
The yoruba should also know that buhari and APC have paid full for the support they give him and should not blame him if he fail to do their bidding.
The south east time is not yet ripe to produce a president,atleast not under the supervision of buhari.
We are steadfastly and ardently in support of Tinubu presidency!! We totally believe in his capability and capacity.. we don't need lectures from ppl that are willing to vote peter hoebi
CSTR2: The elites have their bread buttered anyway.
I don't care who they support.
If the peasants in kano does not know what is good for them at this stage of Nigeria, and they allow their elites to guide their voting decision, well,that is their choice.
Lol. Most these people u see claiming exposed are educated illiterate, I have lost the patience and ability to argue with a Nigerians(especially southerners).. how people let the media to dictate to them in this century is mind blowing
El-rufai government is the most diversified in this country, some ibo states Don't have even one single non ibo in their cabinet.. but they want us to believe his the tribal bigot cos his none apologetic about his policies and he happens to be in APC
Proudlyngwa: Atiku does not have any experience and does not have any useless drive.
In a court of law can u prove elrufai is a religious bigot, or you are just following mainstream media, also can you honestly say atiku is not a bigot whatever that means to you. Buhari is doing well.
Development Capable Of Leading Our Party To Doom – Bode George The ongoing zoning permutation and discussion in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and major opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is giving serious concerns to critical stakeholders in the country.
With the PDP having zoned its chairmanship ticket to the north leaving its presidential ticket open and with the same scenario likely to be replicated by the APC ahead of the 2023 general elections, there is apprehension that the two major parties may use the ‘lopsided zoning politics’ to drag the country into serious crisis, especially where it appears that the north is being given a seemingly preferential political treatment and advantage over the south. Specifically, there are presumptions by observers that the situation might further aggravate the division between the north and south.
The idea of zoning critical elective and appointive positions, especially the President, Vice President, President of the Senate, Speaker House of Representatives, chairman of party, Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF) and other critical positions, is a way of giving all the six geopolitical zones a sense of belonging in the political arrangements of the nation.
Although zoning is not stated in the 1999 Constitution, under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007), the then ruling party, PDP, handled the zoning arrangement with equity, fairness and justice. The founding fathers of the PDP carefully arranged the zoning pattern such that each of the six zones that make up the country had a sense of belonging.
Unfortunately, the first clear violation of the gentleman zoning arrangement occurred in 2011 when some elements in the then major opposition APC, which as at then was still Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), collaborated with some northern elements in PDP to shortchange the Southwest zone, which was to produce the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mulikat Akande. Instead, the speakership of the House of Representatives as at then was conceded to north.
The emergence of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2011 election was also regarded by the north as a betrayal of zoning arrangement by the south. After Obasanjo’s two terms in office from 1999 to 2007, the presidency shifted to the north. Unfortunately, President Umaru Yar’Adua died three years into his first term and his vice president, Jonathan took over to complete the tenure.
Ordinarily, it was expected of Jonathan to step down in 2011 to allow the north present another candidate to complete their term but some powers-that-be truncated the arrangement. The north was said to have been livid with anger that it was cheated. The issue was, however, resolved and Jonathan re-contested in 2011 and won.
In 2015, he (Jonathan) argued to run for second term. Many northern power brokers both in the PDP and other platforms were said to have been opposed to the move. The development strengthened the formation of the APC, which also caused some powerful northern forces and others in the PDP to dissent, forming the nPDP to join the APC merger arrangement in 2014. That arrangement upstaged Jonathan and put an end to PDP’s 16 years in power.
However, since 2015, the flagrant disregard for the zoning political culture appears to have gained momentum, especially when the Southwest, which was to produce the Speaker lost out to Yakubu Dogara from the north while the Southeast and South South were left with no major political office. The explanation was that “no APC elected officials were elected to fill the necessary positions to balance the equation as at then except for Ike Ekweremadu who emerged Deputy Senate President under controversial circumstances in the Senate.”
In the APC too, for instance, by a combination of factors, for over one year now, there has been some distortions to the zoning arrangements following Adams Oshiomhole’s exit, with the President and the Chairman CECPC of the ruling party coming from the north.
Although, the Southern Governors Forum (SGF) had been clamouring that the presidency should move to the south after the expiration of President Buhari’s tenure in 2023, observers are of the view that the PDP is also planning to introduce the same template to the political arrangements in country. “APC is already practicing it in the last one and half years whereby the chairman of the party and the president will come from the same zone. With this arrangement, it is unfortunate that the PDP has boxed the ruling party into a tight corner and APC may find it very difficult to come out of the position in a long political dispensation,” a commentator said.
For the PDP to zone the national championship to the north while leaving the presidency open between the two zones, the interpretation among political observers is that the north intends to have a grab of both the presidency and national chairmanship of the party in 2023.
Initially, expectations were that the major opposition party would automatically give the national championship position to the south and retain the presidency in the north. As a result, some Southerners had begun jostling for the position. The names of former governors of Ekiti and Osun, Ayo Fayose and Olagunsoye Oyinlola as well as the gubernatorial candidate of the party in the 2020 Ondo State governorship election, Eyitayo Jegede had emerged among those interested until the zoning committee, headed by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, turned the table by zoning the position to the north and leeving the presidency opened.
In a reaction, a former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Chief Olabode George said the development is capable of leading the party to doom and may as well cost it the coming 2023 presidential election. He said the development was completely opposite to the principle of equity, fairness and justice upon which PDP was founded by its founding fathers.
According to him, “There is an old, enlightening principle laid down by the founding fathers of PDP since 1999 that six key positions must always be zoned to the six geo political constituents of our nation to ensure equity and orderly balance of power. The six key positions are the president, vice president, national chairman, senate president, Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
“Naturally, this means that if the presidency goes to the North, the chairman goes to the south and vice versa. All these positions are zoned because of the necessity of national belonging and accommodation. Every section of this nation must have a sense of equitable participation in our national life. This has been the enduring pivot of our democratic experience since 1999. There is now a threat to this unwritten doctrine. The zoning arrangement which gave the north the chairmanship of our party and leaves the presidency open is incongruous, unwholesome and a recipe for disaster.
“Once the chairmanship is now in the north, the presidency must come to the south. There must not be any ambiguity at all. Hanging the presidency in the air like a hovering craft without a landing zone is dangerous, unfair and wrong.”
The former chairman of Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) added that in a nation reeling with divisive politics, marred with discord and ethnic distrust “it is rather inexplicable that the stakeholders of PDP cannot be firm and decisive about an issue that will inevitably affect the party and by large the nation itself.
According to him, “This is not the time for uncertainties and half measures. Our vision must be clear. Our goal must be certain. Our resolve must be sincere. We can only reclaim the centre in 2023 only if every section of this great nation is treated as co-equal and a significant partner in the national voyage. There is no other way. Zoning of all the six key offices will continue to ensure a strong and healthy democratic nation anchored on the fairness doctrine.
“I am using this opportunity to call on all stakeholders to come together and reaffirm this great vision of our founding fathers. Let us do what is right. Let us do what is proper. Let us revisit the precedents that have sustained us and put us in good stead among Nigerians. This is my advice to all the rank and file of the party. And this is the only way we can appeal to the generality of our people and win the presidency in 2023.”
IN APC, some stakeholders are still watching the events, saying, it doesn’t matter for now where Mala-Buni is from since he is not a substantively elected national chairman. They also said since the jostle for the national chairman has started, it is only northern candidates that have shown interest.
A source said it is too early for the south to start complaining or worry until when the party holds it national convention later in the year.
The Guardian learnt from multiple sources that the Southwest is best positioned to get the APC presidential ticket in 2023 but the only caveat is how the zone will organise itself such that internal intrigues will not affect its chances.
Nyamuri flat.head!! All the scenarios u found urself in voting other regions is cos u had no choice, this is democracy, go out there and contest just like everyone else, nobody will give presidency because ur ibo, it's not turn by turn Nigeria Ltd
The APC u hated so much till today, should just dash u their ticket ba!! U ibos are very foolish, stupid, daft and myopic!
I don't consider north Africans as Africans, cos they don't consider themselves as one too.. I have lived in Egypt, and those ppl detest wen u refer to themy as Africans
2braithe: The most beautiful African women are in North Africa!!
Lol. I have been to nothing less than 13 countries.. If I narrate u my biography, ull hold ur mouth... and we are speaking about Africa dear
2braithe: Have you been outside of Africa before? I mean western countries like the US,UK, Switzerland etc.If you have,you won't even counter me at all.
I did my undergraduate in Uganda, I have met a lot of Rwandan there... Nigerian ladies are not half of those ladies, it's just cus we have no choice in the scenario we found ourselves
Nigerian ladies are ill-mannered and full of toxicity!! That's why they end up lonely overseas, because everyone is avoiding them
Pelxmiye: Well thanks for emphasising this, i think Nigerian women should probably take a vacation to Rwanda, it might help some of our nigerian sisters calm down and thr funny thing is, quite a number of Rwandan men are not enslaved by this goddesses of beauty in Rwanda, in fact, Rwandan women are most likely more submissive , my point is this...men are not freaked by these women with hour glass ,thick hips walking up and down...
Lol. Not according to south African, Ghanaian, kenyan, Cameroonian women etc
Times without number, we have seen how other African ladies have been complimenting Nigerian men... but that's not the same for the Nigerian ladies
The truth is, the only reason Nigerian guys date our ladies is cus we found ourself here together with no choice.. Datsun you if u go overseas, ull hardly see a Nigerian guy dating a Nigerian lady
U guys are just too toxic!
siofra: Nigerian men are very average too, they are not fine at all.
Do u have the one that chimpanzee looking creature Ojukwu absconded to ivory coast?
Brimstone77: The picture below was the picture of Yoruba freedom fighter Sunday igboho trying to escape to bini republic through seme border when the Nigerian DSS came to arrest him in his residence...
Sharap abeg!! Ur wailing is nothing but a broken record! Again with the victim mentally, u guys are suffering from inferiority complex and delusions of gradeur!! .. tell me just one business/company FG established in the north?? All I see are private business just like the likes of innoson, air peace etc why didn't the FG frustrate them?
Dangote that ur likes love to hate, failed in milk and tomatoes production that he had to close it down
Ibeto could not just stand competition that came with Dangote trying to monopolize cement in his favour, just like how every businessman does to his advantage.. he tried to do same with BUA, but fortunately BUA was neck-deep into the business already
vale20: If u know that politics favour ur zone or state do not talk about VAT. If there is river port in Anambra and functioning international air port in South East, u will not be talking about East having Low VAT. How companies did FG exterblish in the North and West and how many did we have in the East?? FG single handedly brought down and fought IBETO Cement. Dangote is having all the political support. We are watching, all we want is a level playing ground then u know the result. East is blockaded in business.
