.....this nigga actually made some valid points though;

6.9km road is awarded for ₦30B in Abia, but crititism ain't welcomed cos its a JB Project hence worth the amount.

9 internal roads are awarded in Aba town, till now no one knows the exact amount approved for the project, no even idea at all.

₦5B plus is approved for Office of Governor in the same Abia, yet no uproar.

If we can maintain same energy on every other state in the country, we won't be here shouting bad leadership, bad economy, corruption day and night.

We should make all state Governors accountable, not just LAGOS!

Even if these are true, these people took care to hide their origin and only took the identity of the place they planned to rule they spoke Hausa fluently their names looked like regular Hausa names and didn't diss Hausas at least in public

Just like the rumors of Babangida being a Yoruba man which he never validated


Do you think a man named Andrew Kayode Okechukwu would have been governor of Kano? If such man has ambition of ruling Kano he likely will have to change his name religion and blend in properly like many Ogbomoso people do in the North

Let's gather all those who desire this war and give them a location to meet up and settle scores while we cheer them with our likes and shares

Only them o, not involve other people cos for every war na innocent people dey suffer am pass

Calling for civil war just to teach one tribe a lesson.
Not all children are a blessing to their parents, some are actually a curse. No one should be this stupid when they are not mentally handicapped.

airmark:
In your effort not to receive flogging for your 'Rohr out' misfiring, you are desperately doing gymnastics.

I had answered you. Eguavoen was a placeholder, while Peseiro finally replaced Rohr. Go and check the meaning of 'finally' in your dictionary and see if Eguavoen's appointment, qualifies to be attached that.

If in Benue an Idoma who is a native cannot contest or win na foreigner wan win

Take last week elections in Kogi for example eey every tribe hold their side. Imagine one Emeka wan come contest..

Amigoss:
Make Doherty and his supporters occupy govt house in alausa or marina na,His supporters are not from Anambra and will not burn down Lagos

He is the opposition done the right way and the new bride of agbado boys,you wan make dem talk say headless mob collect him shine and glory?

raumdeuter:
I am talking of the core North like Kano Katsina Sokoto Bauchi etc

Foreigners believing they have earned the right depends on how the host body language is to you. You will find it easier to say you want to contest in USA and Australia than in Say Saudi or South African as a foreigner

Your example on the street the 30 Ibos will think of contesting because the environment is calm for them and not hostile. In places like Kano even if you are 30, and you want to contest or interfere in the political affairs its your own village people and fellow Ibos that will warn you that don't cause problems for the rest of us

For example during my NYSC we could know those parts barely tolerated us and maybe because we have FG protection
as corpers routinely our girls got stoned by small kids while adults looked on because they didn't cover their hair, Our LGA chairman will say he can only deal with (what name do you call the head of corpers in an LG) who is either moslem Northerner if you dont have in your set then anyone who can speak Hausa.

So it wasn't a shock when I heard in 2011, that the LGA was one of those places where Corpers were killed during Buhari vs Jonathan elections

Those places you mentioned too, they might not be Moslems they are also very radical, Its in Benue wey Idoma no fit rule as State governor imagine what will happen to Ibo contesting for Rep or LG chirman

I will say West is where they take politics lightly he most, in some places it is literal life and death

raumdeuter:
The truth is that in the North they are explicitly violent and any skirmish they will attack the foreigners. That will already tell you what you need to know about involving in their politics. Ordinary Danish cartoon, you don dey collect, Israel Palestine foreigners don dey collect, Miss world foreigners don dey collect. They never make you comfortable even if you are 5th generation in their land to nurse the idea of contesting

If you are already getting attacks from issues that had nothing to do with you or your stay there, will you now start thinking of governing in those lands?

In the West there is more tolerance that is why people get comfortable and start nursing the idea of contesting
That is why the mantra you hear is that "See the people who claim to be accommodating cannot let us contest and rule in their domain", Others don't care about claiming to be accommodating and they make that clear from day 1 and every other day
Many places in Nigeria the indigenes will always remind you of where you are from in your everyday life in not so subtle ways

patrickmuf:
I have always argued that Nigeria can confidently pay 100k minimum wage but people will always say Nigeria is broke. I refuse to accept that narrative. The cost of governance alone can go a long way not to talk of corruption in other sectors ranging from padding up contracts figures, ghost workers etc...

raumdeuter:
How do Northerners put them in check?

liveLongNprospa:
Yup.. Turning 30😁.

Thanks man😎

This right here is why I will never understand ethnic champions.

We all celebrate together when we hear that a Nigerian has won an election in NewYork or London or a European country. We see it as a sign of Nigerians great hustling and entrepreneurial spirit and being the best representatives of their country.

But when fellow Nigerians contest elective positions within their own country, we start hearing "go back" even to people like yourself who were most likely born there.

The whole thing is wrong and absurd. Imagine a third generation igbo in Lagos being told to go back to his "state". omoo APC really destroyed Nigeria this last elections. Let's see if it was worth it all along.

patrickmuf:
Very true, if you go to a place in Calabar called Nasarawa or Boko Biri (Not sure I got the spelling right) you did swear they're the owners of the land because even the average Child of Efik descent born around these axis will most likely speak Hausa more fluently than Efik and they'll most times come across as Hausa because the prevailing culture affects the way they dress and behave.

BlueRayDick:
The trolling no make sense to me . Prospa supported subsidy removal , izzou supported subsidy removal . Imagine those of us that didn’t including Larride now come here everyday trolling everybody that supported the removal and be asking them if they enjoy busing fuel at the rate they do knowing how Senators now ride 160m SUVs and the president and his First Lady buying new vehicles costing billions ?

OasisX:
......by birth, you are a Yoruba nah. I name you Adele from now on.

GloriousGbola:
the same person that called you aboki has saved this for the future

Melvyn11:
Shey larride na Lagos government wey person go dey ask financial accountability from?

Emaprince:
You were born in Lagos? Wow you be omo Eko na.

You are more lagos than some people shouting go back to your land.

OasisX:


.....nah! It ain't a game to me, that's why I acknowledged what Doherty did. Let's wait for LASG Response before we riot bruh.

swiz123:
His crime is supporting APC and particularly campaigning for Tinubu's election. Apart from that, I think he is an honest dude who is bold enough to criticize the government accordingly.

The irredeemable raumdueter and OasisX support everything.

larride:
Please dont tell him to take it easy, let's both enter the gutter and rumble it out since that's what he want.

I can even remember the last time I came here to talk about politics only to start getting mention about something I'm just seeing for the first time and asking if I get something to eat.

I always thought he had sense before but it seems I was mistaken.

OasisX:


.....lemme o, I dey church.

liveLongNprospa:
