Dude.... this Amala no fit soft abegi. GOAT ko Asun ni. You may need to watch the clip again. He claimed he met Odili in School as a Student not as a Legend.

[color=royalblue]I am just reacting to what Dayo posted, and from that statement, Obi didn't say he played with Odili

This is no brief for Obi. I am just saying that it is possible, from what Dayo posted[/color]

nihilistjnr:
Were CKC matches broadcast on radio? It's not NCAA football na?

If its true that Odili graduated when Obi was 6 years old, this one no cook well...

[color=royalblue]Let's assume Obi entered school at 10

Thats just 3 set difference before Obi entered Form 1

It is very possible Odili's exploits were still very fresh as at that time[/color]

OasisX:



Easy bruh! Peter Obi was born in 1961, Peter Odili graduated in 1965. Are you saying Peter Obi met Odili in Secondary School at 4yrs old?

[color=royalblue]I attended a Federal Secondary school, and from my JSS1, i knew names of people that were GOATs that had graduated. People I never met

If i say in future that one was my senior, even though i didn't meet him or know him, am i wrong?[/color]

raumdeuter:
Some of these legends that you didnt meet will you say you played football together?

Will Kante say he played football together with Dennis Wise in Chelsea?

[color=royalblue]This was Obi's statement, and nowhere did he say he played together[/color]

Peter Obi - This morning I was telling someone that Peter Odili was my senior boy in Secondary School, we couldnt have played football in CKC without Dr Odili. Anyday he is not in the match we have lost

[color=royalblue]He was talking about the school team (CKC). So i can assume that Odili was a legend in CKC and a GOAT.

He was talking about the school not having Odili in the squad. That's what i can also assume[/color]

raumdeuter:
But Mr Obi appeared to have lied in his statement because publicly available records said Mr Odili, governor from 1999 to 2007, was born in 1948 and graduated from high school in 1967.

While it was true that Mr Odili was a prolific football player in high school at Christ the King College, Onitsha, he graduated more than a decade before Mr Obi and barely six years after the Labour politician was born in 1961.

[color=royalblue]Like i said, it could be possible

I heard of students in my secondary school that did exploits, yet i didn't meet them.

So, i can actually say they were my seniors, and i won't be wrong.

The fact that they both attended CKC, and it can be verified is enough for that agenda [/color]

raumdeuter:
If Obi entered CKC at 10 that must mean Odili was 23yrs in CKC for a 13yrs gap to work. Thats asumming Odili was in form 5 when Obi was in Form 1
In most cases anything above a 10yr gap for people who met in secondary school is already looking absurd

[color=royalblue]The fact that he gave the school's name means Odili attended.

It's also possible that Odili was a legend in CKC, and even after he left, his legacies in the school team must have been passed on to others

I just dey assume sha.

Its also possible that Odili failed ruthlessly and woefully, so he had to repeat classes back to back.
That one still follow[/color]

raumdeuter:
Peter Obi - This morning I was telling someone that Peter Odili was my senior boy in Secondary School, we couldnt have played football in CKC without Dr Odili. Anyday he is not in the match we have lost

Interesting how a 61yrs Obi met a 74yrs old Odili in secondary school and they played ball together

[color=royalblue]What is impossible in that?[/color]

nihilistjnr:
It has to devolve to semi-autonomous local governments to collect taxes and provide services. Keep the states structure for grouping only - get rid of Governors in favour of senators

So basically your local government chairman becomes the governor affecting your day to day life, and then your senator also from your local government is representing your interests at the centre.

[color=royalblue]If wishes were horses, my brother

You see that NASS? It should be scraped entirely[/color]

OasisX:
The question is; why are they cooking the numbers? To gain what? Once you address reason they are cooking the numbers by making them autonomous, there won't be need for it any longer.

State should stop depending on FG for money. Let every state source for money independently, control resources on their domains. If you can't cope as State, then beg to be annexed by another capable State in your Region.

[color=royalblue]The larger a state, the more it is valued politically

This stuff goes beyond money. Political value and relevance is also involved. If Abia is more than Imo, they will be more relevant, irrespective of whether they are in control of their resources or not

So unless we have a way of making the registration process transparent, no pattern of regional design would stop it[/color]

OasisX:
Confederal System of Government but in regional form as its practiced pre and post independence before the Coup.

[color=royalblue]So what is the guarantee that Ekiti will not want to cook numbers so as to be higher than Ondo?

Or Abia forging so they can be ahead of Imo?
[/color]

GloriousGbola:
How is this info coming out? Is the voters register a public record?

[color=royalblue]Yes, it is

Donjazet posted a link yesterday or so

Just log on, then select your state, LGA and any polling unit, and you’ll see all these[/color]

OasisX:


Kilode!!!

[color=royalblue]But seriously, what is the way forward with this cesspit called Nigeria?

The census is coming up soon. I can imagine state politicians and governors forging and registering sperm cells just to boost their numbers.

The thing no funny at all[/color]

nihilistjnr:
But you LITERALLY started this conversation by saying Africa was backwards because we did not participate in the European Age of Enlightenment.

Your positions lack intellectual merit, which is why you've ended up arguing against yourself in less than 10 posts

Okay I will leave your designer shirt alone. Hope say you no steal the shirt from person whatsapp

[color=royalblue]I can see you are bent on ending my career on this forum

But Otem forbid you [/color]

[color=royalblue]Raumdeuter, which one be speech renovators again?

Leave my shirt abeg [/color]

A001:
Everyone that doesn't understand simple statements in English perhaps because of their low level of education or intelligence is getting confused.

Truly, many Africans are no doubt on a lower reasoning frequencies than people from other continents of the world, especially the West.

[color=royalblue]You are definitely the most intelligent African alive.

They have shown you indigenous religions that are in abject poverty, you have shifted the bar to "Chance".

You really have a skill of repeating a thing until it begins to sound true. I commend you for that[/color]

raumdeuter:
All the Asian countries that practice their own indigenous religion like India Pakistan Middle east South East Asia, Malaysia, Thailand etc how developed are they?

[color=royalblue]Myanmar
Nepal

Those countries have their indigenous religions but are poor as fck.
[/color]

raumdeuter:
In the same Asia Bangladesh Nepal India and most of South East Asia practice their own indigenous religion and are under developed
In the middle east most of the countries practice their own indigenous religion and are still under developed bar the select places where the rules stay like their own Abuja(Dubai) and Lekki, Banana Island(AbuDhabi)

A001:
You don't have to. I appreciate intelligent responses that can prove me wrong with historical facts, not using lies and twisted facts to suit a parochial narrative.

If you present your points well with proofs, I'd agree with you.

[color=royalblue]Agree ke? Don't agree with me oh. Because currently, everyone is getting confused with your takes

You have shifted from Religion as the problem, to Africans not practicing their indigenous religions.

So if we worshipped Obatala, Sango and developed on it, we would be better of baa?

Is this the new argument?[/color]

When most Africans are intelligent enough to develop these systems indigenously and value the local cultures and languages, the continent will have a higher chance of development.

A001:
Lols, this is what's expected of a religious person. I should see some sense in the post of a person that says GB didn't send missionaries to Nigeria or didn't establish Christianity in Yorubaland in the 19th century?

I should accept a blatant lie to suit your parochial religious beliefs based on pure lies?

Well, I'm not not surprised. The foundation of your religion itself is based on pure lies, twisting the history of the indigenous people.

The common (but great) lie that the colonial masters spread through their various missionaries to Africa that Jehovah or Yahweh is the same as Olohun for Yorubas or Chineke or Osanonoa for Ibos/Edos is enough to discredit any teaching in your Bible, a book of lies and thousands of errors and contradictions.

But these native gods have no equivalent English meaning and have a distinct history and traits from Yahweh/Jehovah, the local god from Israel.

It's the same Bible that racists, slave masters, misogynists and colonialists used to justify their barbaric and anti-humane acts following the teachings of Yahweh.

A believer in a book of lies (the Bible) will readily welcome the distorted facts (pure lies) of another poster, even though they know quite well he's lying about the history of their religion.

The mentality of religious people is so ridiculous.

[color=royalblue]If agreeing with you will make you feel fulfilled right now, I totally agree.[/color]

raumdeuter:
I think you captured the crux of my post. Countries in Asia do not practice Christianity and are still undeveloped.

South Africa still colonized one of the most developed in Africa
Ethiopia never colonized one of the least developed in Africa

How can we correlate this

[color=royalblue]He is just repeating the same lines over and over again.

I expect the next reply to be the same[/color]

A001:
How does it contradict it? Did you read the comment you quoted at all?

I don't need to repeat what has been stated already in simple English in my posts here. Backed with historical facts, I clearly stated the role of religion in colonialism where Nigerian leaders got their template for looting from.

I see you chose to ignore those parts because they don't suit your beliefs.

[color=royalblue]I didn't want to dabble with it because i don't agree with you. And since, i don't agree with you, I'd rather learn than argue

Firstly, no religion supports stealing, bribery, corruption, and every other factor you blame religion for. So if Christ or Muhammad doesnt want me to steal, Is Christ or Mohammed to be blamed if i do, or me?

Secondly, countries like USA, UK did have religious foundations, yet they are doing well. A country like Ethiopia wasn't even colonized, and they are behind in Africa. I expect you to see some sense with Nihilistjnr post, but you immediately discarded it and continued repeating the same thing you said

If you would take your time to read what others contributed, instead of just repeating the same religious lines, you'll see some sense in it[/color]

A001:
GB and Portugal looted pre-independent Nigeria dry and Nigerian politicians got the looting template from them and improved it. How will the country develop when they've stolen all the funds needed to build world-class institutions, good hospitals, good roads, electricity infrastructure?

The budget of the whole Nigeria is smaller than the budget of New York State, yet a substantial part of these budgeted funds will still be stolen by our greedy politicians.

How the country go develop?

[color=royalblue]This comment clearly contradicts your motion that religion is the root cause of our backwardness.

You are yet to show how religion played a part in the looting and making of greedy politicians

Hopefully, you can show it in the next comment[/color]

BlueRayDick:
GBAM! Especially when there's no law that says INEC must sight the voters' birth certificate before registering them. Anybody can walk up to a polling unit and claim whatever age he wishes. Na the naija wey we dey be that.

[color=royalblue]May God strengthen those wey wan go vote for a better Nigeria[/color]

Ellexy:
LP should do this asap, time is going already

[color=royalblue]This is a very long route to take. Before they finish this case, BAT or ATiku go don finish 4 years

Firstly, LP woud have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the registered voters are underage. What i mean is it goes beyond pictures, but providing proof (maybe NIN) or documents to show that they are underaged. I hope you know how long this may take; spooling the data from NIMC.

Secondly, INEC can argue that the onus is on NIMC to confirm the age, and not them to verify.That would take another fresh lawsuits to be filed.

My brother, Nigeria is a lost cause for now.[/color]

Ok oh....But this won't make wave like the Orlu burial that the country was almost on a standstill....
