dondazie: Have I taken side? Did you at any point see Davido's point in my comment? You were trying to be smart with half facts and insulting others, I pointed what would have been the complete analysis that you selectively left out and being a judgemental person, you couldn't help but label me At this point, the only thing I'm interested in is the true voting strength in the areas the rerun election will hold |
Politics / Re: Davido: 'APC Planning To Rig Osun Rerun Election' by jagojunior(m): 12:14am On Sep 27, 2018 |
dondazie: Please take time and do a proper analysis before calling people fools. What we should be asking from INEC is the true voting strength and not just some vague figures of voters registered. One can register but yet to collect one's PVC. When you're able to provide that detail instead of just showing us number of registered voters come back and quote me You know exactly what I'm talking about |
Politics / Re: Davido: 'APC Planning To Rig Osun Rerun Election' by jagojunior(m): 8:04pm On Sep 26, 2018 |
dondazie: Mr Analyst, you're the joker here The figure you presented is showing number of registered voters which is totally different from number of voters who have collected their PVCs Take your time and verify that one before calling others fools |

Orubebe01: I just did mine bro and my lady is from Anambra state. I presented just a bottle of nonalcoholic wine (as advised by my fiancée ) because I was going to meet the Mom. Her dad stays somewhere else. It's the first visit and doesn't demand much. Please, don't put much stress on yourself, you're just starting. A bottle of wine is okay but if the Dad drinks then buy two bottles (one quality alcoholic wine for the Dad and one nonalcoholic wine for the mother/family) Good luck! |

TonyeBarcanista: This is a very good opportunity for him to prove himself. Unless the accusation that he is not a leader and has never been ready for leadership is true. A true leader that just led his party from the first seat in the nation should still have it in him. SAS was one of his appointees to start with. His silence speaks volume of him especially in this trying time for his party (a party that gave him everything). |

TonyeBarcanista: Why is GEJ (the leader of PDP) mute about all these power tussle in his party? I don't want to believe that barely 13months post presidential seat he has become this powerless to the extent that his words don't count anymore. He should rise to the occasion and command some decorum please. Daddy sleeps while the children run amok. PDP truly miss Obj. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: True Federalism, Its Advantages And Implications. by jagojunior(m): 12:24pm On Jun 15, 2016 |
biafratwo: I appreciate your contribution and patience. What we have now is not very far from federalism, yes, it's not true federalism but it's a system that allows for development as well as reward for it. I said this because, every state controls its IGR and does as it pleases with it aside getting monthly addition from the center. We can cite other countries as examples of places where federalism is working for them but brotherly, this is Nigeria. A country bedeviled with her peculiar characteristics that always cripple well thought out policies copied from system where such policies work perfectly. I like the fact that you used "maybe" for the workability of federalism for Nigeria. Who knows, it might work but I strongly doubt it. My pessimism on its workability is from the fact that we had something like federalism which failed us (evidenced by the reasons given by the coup plotters) before the promulgation of decree 34. If you think federalism was working for us back then, then why the coup? What makes you think it will work with the caliber of leaders today? Nevertheless, there are things like Local government autonomy, complete state House Of assembly autonomy, removing certain areas (like power generation and transmission) from the firm grip of the FG, relaxing certain laws, etc etc, all these if properly done will set a clean stage for seamless birth of federalism, that is if we still believe that we need it afterwards. We have a unique system of government now, something that if we can properly harness positively will be a model to other countries, why are we pushing it away. O! I forget, if it's not an imported version then it won't work. We complain of having lazy governors yet we unconsciously defend their laziness by using allocation from Abuja as an excuse. News flash, "you can't give what you don't have" if you give them true federalism or resource control or regionalism that might not change them because they can't give what the never had. Implementing some of the items I listed earlier will give us subtle federalism in the system we already have without causing chaos that might consume everyone. Brotherly, value reorientation as stated in earlier posts doesn't mean an all or non solution, we will do that together we structural reform policies but federalism is to the extreme, jumping steps and rushing to the extreme won't augur well for any of us. NB: I refused to talk about the topic directly cos almost everything about what it means and all the viable advantages and disadvantages have been outlined and discussed by others, this is why I went to give what might come out of it using the peculiarity of our Naija system/factors. Thank you for your time. Shalom! |

biafratwo: Let's call a spade a spade and quit beating around the bush. What y'all are looking for is secession, it is as simple as ABC. Like I said, I'm a realist and it's better you shoot straight than going round a viscous cycle pretending about your true intention. If regionalism comes into play today, what will be the sanction on zones that violate remitting of the agreed percent to the centre? What will be the negotiating chip by the government at the centre? OR Is it the same center that currently wields enormous power yet powerless to query the states to account for fund utilisation that will hold an empowered zone (through regionalism) accountable? Maybe You are thinking that respect and sanity will only return when power is stripped off an already weak (but wrongly tagged powerful) center that controls almost all resources in the country yet disrespected by every Tom, Dick and Harry living in Nigeria on a daily basis. Please, think again and this time from a different perspective. Viewing through my lens: Bottom line is this, any call for regionalism/resource control/true federalism etc right now is a call for secession and the truth is that GREED is the true reason behind that call. I don't want to be a prophet of doom but brotherly, the last time some over zealous soldiers changed the system of resource control in Nigeria (ie decree 34), a civil war broke out. Today, same group is the brain behind pushing for a reverse in the system to what was before decree 34. Trust me, another civil war will follow. If it wasn't greed to control all the resources in every region by those that brought this system upon us, why the promulgation of decree 34 that year? They thought they will live forever and have supreme access to everybody's resources. Karma is a fvcking Dam. The table turned and the music quickly changed. Nigerian history as a compulsory course should be introduced in primary and secondary schools to help us appreciate how far we have come and how we can navigate the dangerous bend we have found ourselves. Please, disabuse your minds of the illusion that regionalism is the magic wand that will turn everything around for us as a nation. I will echo it again, value reorientation (especially the leaders) is what we need now. We have come a very long way as a Nation, any attempt to actualize this wishful thought of regionalism/secession/resource control will only bring war. There are no losers or winners of a war, we all share from both sides of the divide maybe a little bit unevenly. Reality check should tell us that the country is too messed up and unripe for any of these right now. A word they said is enough. However, que sera sera. Shalom! #My1kobo 3 Likes 1 Share |
