Ameachi was not on the ballot because he was contesting the withdrawal of his candidature by his political party PDP in court, the rate at which we write to mislead the public on affairs just to suit our narratives is highly uncalled for.

I wonder what apc will share to induce people in 2027 maybe Koran and bible , and inec , police and military will do the rest, because I dnt know how yoh will vote tinubu in a northern polling unit, this time around, hunger has killed more Nigerian than covid 19

APC don't need to share anything when going against candidates like Obi and Atiku.
The opponents matter in every election and Atiku plus Obi are not just good enough.

quadraheem:
It’s a pure ignorance really. Shariah panel has been existing that I know in Lagos for more than 2 decades. In fact, 2 locations in Lagos and there has never been anything concerning non Muslims whatsoever.
Why the ignorant cry today?
Must we add politics coloration to everything?
It’s basically meant for resolutions amongst Muslims.

"Hisbah is meant for Muslims".
It is same Hisbah that's harassing students in BUK not minding if they are Muslims or not, it is same Hisbah that's harassing those who wants to take alcohol be it Muslim or not.
This is exactly how it started.

Elusive001:
Bros Kwara state is under the Sokoto caliphate. Ilorin has emir in charge of it.

Go and rest. Leave the north alone. Na Igboman be una problem and not the north.

The discussion is strictly for Yorubas, the rest of us should read comments, but as usual, lgb0s want to make themselves relevant in the discussion, very pàthetic.

We all know that most "tech bros" are scammers, but we live in a country where nothing can be done because the moment anything is being done, same person who made this post will make another post accusing govt and security agencies of witch hunting youths.
We all pretend like we don't know this country.

ValarDoharis:
Thats just deceit. All recognize regions in the world have regional governments.

You made the zones into regions?
You are smarter than those who named them "geopolitical zones" instead of region?

You post was actually stupid and devoid of anything scientific.

ValarDoharis:
They're unconstitutional. We have 36 states, the FCT and 774 LGA. This is what the constitution recognizes

You are the one talking about constitutional, I'm telling you they are official, provided they are official, you can write about it in official papers and documents anywhere in the world, you can continue yapping about constitutional and unconstitutional.

chigator2:
It strictly business nothing personal. As usual when it's time, those that have sound heads on their necks leave the playground and head back to home.

We are not afonnja, that doesn't know what home is, they came to Lagos to hustle, all of the sudden their children are claiming Lagosian. Oponu

Is Lagos part of lgbo land?
I guess you know the answer.
Is it part of Yoruba land?
A Hausa-Fulani can claim to be from Kano, it's their land, just like Yorubas can claim Lagos.
It is you lgb0s that discriminate against each other so much that àbusè yourseIves with Onitsha and others.

Tinubuagbado:
It has never been Ibo, it has Always been Igbo, the enemies turned it into ibo

Nobody is your enemy, this is the problem of the average lgb0 but same lgb0s will run after those enemies in search of better life.

gidgiddy:
If the geopolitical zones are not in the constitution, they don't exist in reality

Maybe you should erase the already existing geopolitical zones, some of you are so daft yet you think you are wise.

ValarDoharis:
You cannot officially recognize unconstitutionality

Unfortunately for you, the 6 geopolitical zones are officially recognized, if you a contrary observation, forward it to the federal government instead of yapping on Nairaland.

ValarDoharis:
The geopolitical zones are made up, not in the constitution.

They are officially recognized or not?

Bandirao:
A lot of those people claiming to be Muslims in South West are not actually practising Muslims, they are bloody hypocrites.

Truly a new jihad is needed urgently in the south west.

How can a person claim to be a Muslim but actually reject the law of Islam is that not hypocrisy.

I know what I am talking about I once have a yoruba friend who claimed to be a Muslim and he indeed do many un islamic things, I once saw him drinking beer, iam very surprised and frowned at it but he tells me that it is indeed common for them to drink beer he even told me that his uncle who he stayed in his house also drink it and he was a Muslim,
The saddest part is that I hardly see him in a mosque or hear him reciting the Qur'an, he also patronised ashawos infact he is nominally Muslim and this was very common for most of the so called yoruba Muslims, very sad 😡

Pinning certain attitudes to a tribe is really pàthetic.
There are alot of northern Muslims both male and female that engage in use of hard drugs, patronizing prostitutes, during my undergraduate days, I know of Muslim guys that their Muslim girlfriends and fvckmàtes aborted pregnancy for them.
Is it ok to pin these vices on all northern Muslims?

ValarDoharis:
You cannot use the word official for something thats unconstitutional.

If you have 6 regions, why no regional government?

I told you that Nigeria officially has 6 geopolitical zones, yet come up with "region" and "regional government", you made the geopolitical zones unconstitutional?
Are you sure you know anything at all?

ValarDoharis:
Present day Nigeria has no constitutionally recognized regions

Doesn't change the fact that we officially have 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

1. I will advise you to read J. S. TARKAAND ETHNIC MINORITY AGITATIONS AND STRUGGLES IN NIGERIA.
That will answer your question about the acidic marginalization the middle belt suffered from the North.
They were reduced to a voiceless people.

2. They are kicking against the Tax reforms because they still want to continue to take undue advantage of their size that whatever they agree on must stand.

1. When making a claim, you be able to defend it by highlighting cogent points before referring your audience to read further, you haven't done anything to back your claim that the north was marginalizing middle belt yet making reference, that's a very poor to make an argument.
2. The north is kicking against because it's what they want for themselves, if you want otherwise, push for it, you can't accuse the north of being outspoken and insisting on their points while you lots are quiet and accept anything.

ValarDoharis:
There is no constitutionally recognized region in Nigeria

You mean present day Nigeria or those years?

ogaemma:
Thank you for your thoughts.

1. Joseph Tarka formed the United Middle Belt Congress.
He was a transport minister during the Yakubu Gowon government. His political ideology for forming that party was to make the middle belt that was already marginalized by the core North to become politically relevant.
Even with the United Middle Belt Congress, the entire middle belt was still part of the North Region.

2. The average Northerner don't really know much about the 1967 map.
I so much agree with you on that context.
But their elites knows so much about the map.
Their elite's know so much secrets about the confederation of Nigeria and it's independence.
Till date, they are using it as an advantage over the entire South.
Wonder why they all united against the recent Tax reform.
They want to continue to cheat the rest of Nigeria.

1. Can you tell us how the north was marginalizing the middle belt?
2. The north is kicking against the reform because the leaders just like the average Nigerian is scared of changing from what they know and are used to.
The reform will place more responsibility on them and make life harder for them, that's why Nigerians kicked against subsidy removal, it's for same reason.

owobokiri:
The British really hated the Eastern region with passion. Just take a look at that map. Both from the North and the West.., they made serious efforts to basically carve out everything from the east. Even when thwy conducted elections and head counts, it was the same thing. And they're still on it uptil this day with their internal proxies.

Talking about same British that carved other tribes into the Eastern region, other tribes subdued by lgb0s until SS region was formed?

ogaemma:
May God deliver us from Northerner Nigeria.
The North cheated the rest of Nigeria right from inception.
They still see the old 1967 map that is why they still believe they own this country.
The old 1967 map will never be erased from their minds.
The best thing is for everyone to go their separate way's.
NIGERIA is a big scam. The creation of 36 states cannot change that fact.

You can look for a way to go your separate without accusing the north of what you don't know.
Before Independence, J.S. Tarka of Benue formed a middle belt political party which I can't remember the full name right now unless I google it to clearly show the north is not as the map shows, somehow, u lots are forcing your ideas on the north, the north where an average Northerner don't really know much about the 1967 map.

Tochitee:
I say Ehn wetin Tinubu do this people pain them pass as Amadu Bello and his people wipe more than half of their population during the civil war! All their problems na Yoruba! Na Yoruba woman Dey complain na them Dey cry!

They are confused.

Since 1999 that Nigeria returned to democracy full-time, northerners have only been in power for 10 years, but according to average propagandist from the South, the north always manipulate votes to stay in power.

One key characteristics of people down South (SE and SS) to be precise is to ruin their society while blaming others.
These folks receive billions upon billions of naira from the government year in year out, yet their society are as good as wrètchèd.
Bayelsa has provided a president yet it took a northerner build a bridge for Bonny Island, same Northerner paid their 13% derivation while their Indigene as a president was sleeping and drinking.
You lots need sense to begin with.

givedemwotowoto:
Continue enriching your families and friends while urchins fight for you based on tribal and/or religious affiliation

Nobody has stopped you from joining the clique of those being enriched, lazy àssès always looking for who will feed them.

GalaxyStones:
Looking for forward to when Nigeria will be so industrialised like China and the west...


All this continous tense like going-to, will, want to Don tire us..

Industrialization in any country is a collective effort of government and private sectors, mostly Private sectors, the fact that u all fold your hands and "looking forward to when Nigeria will be so industrialized" is funny.

wink2015:
ECOWAS know that if they try such thing on citizens from these Francophone countries their government will respond by imposing a NO FLY ZONE across their territory.

Nigeria aircraft destined for Europe can not fly through Niger republic airspace.

And aircraft from Nigeria will have to fly through Benin-Togo-Ghana Airspace passing through Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Gambia to Senegal before crossing to Europe in the Sky.

That will be a very long distance.

Somehow your version of ECOWAS happens to be only Nigeria.
You think those countries are as f00Iish as most of you think?
If they impose a "No fly Zone" on ECOWAS, how will aircraft get into their own country?
How will some of import goods or have electricity?
The lack of sense in you lots because of politics is really funny.

Xisnin:
Spineless ECOWAS still indirectly begging them.
Ordinarily, there should be a new negotiation when a country leave an economic union.

All UK's EU's privileges were revoked when it left, same thing should happen to
those land-locked state and not appeasing them.

With this position, ECOWAS just signal that it is a completely
fruitless organization that offers no advantage to being a member.
Any member that also wants to leave can now leave since all their privileges will be
maintained.

Did you read the part where withdrawal is effective one year after notice?
Did you also realize that UK didn't just withdraw but it was on board for some time and a time frame was set?
U are all specialists in everything on social media.

AustineE1:
More like you can 'grab it,snatch it and run away'-Tinubu.Olodo the joke is on you！

Does your beer parlor statement align with what we are saying here?

FreedomfromtheT:
The usual ethnic propaganda and deflecting.
You know the above is true, don't you?

By "the above" you mean my reply to the ethnic propaganda of u lgb0s right?
You should google the word "deflecting" before using it to avoid abuse.

potent5:
"power is given no one will hand it over to you"
Are you listening to your gibberish?

That's a typo, a sensible mind should spot a typo.
