PoliticsRe: Why The North Cannot Allow Breakup Of Nigeria - Garba Adamu by Johnrake69: 9:13am On May 30, 2021
Tajbol4splend:
The North and the South East have nothing, they are both leeches contributing nothing to the economy but the South East just like to tag itself with the South West and South South and call it South
You really don't understand what real wealth is. The South East will do just fine. They fought a 3 years bloody war. Their people started again with 30 pounds after the war.

Look at the South East today in the light of any developmental metric you want to use.

They are far ahead. Academics was what the south west was known for but recent indices shows the South East has caught up with them.

Go to Ariaria market. Atleast 5 40 ft containers load Aba Made shoes every week to the neighboring nations like Benin Republic, Togo, Cameroon etc and also to the north.

The South Easterners are the only people that truly practice one Nigeria. Go to any part of Nigeria you must find top established businesses owned by an Igbo man. No doubt Nigeria needs the resiliency of the Igbo Man if it's to experience any meaningful growth and development
PoliticsRe: Gunmen Attack Military Checkpoint In Anambra, 5 Soldiers Killed by Johnrake69: 12:10am On May 30, 2021

[/b]On February this year 2021 a lecturer of federal poly Nekede was shot dead with his course rep a final year student of the school by an airforce personnel at Naze junction in owerri. It's not all news the media carries on daily basis , some zombies here doesn't know what others are passing through in the hands of this useless uniform men.

Their only crime was they parked by the road side and was tagged kidnappers, The foolish Rector of the school Arimanwa didn't raise alarm to seek justice for the slain lecturer

They've been buried and forgotten just like that, and some imbéciles here wants me to pity the Uniform men when any of them is killed, seeing them being killed makes me happy

They go about killing innocent citizens, right now the chicken have come home to roost, they should face the same brutality they subjected to so many of us.[b]
The Nigerian military really need rebranding to be more professional and understand they have no business killing civilians. The day soldiers beat me up at a check point while conveying my goods to the market because I came shot with the money they requested for. I knew that with this mindset it won't be long before the citizens will turn against them.

And the truth is no military can wage war against their citizens and win.

Who be this? Crypto has empowered more people than you can ever think of. Crypto is never get reach quick scheme. Invest and be patient.

People talk like there's an easier way of making money. My goods going to Accra was held on transit during the Covid-19 lockdown for 5 months before it was released. Just because the market went down for less than 10 days everyone is lamenting.

Better go and keep your money under your bed if you're scared to be involved in transactions

I'm very sure you never watched Perpetual Nkwocha play.

It's very simple, just organize your own poll and vote Perpetual Nkwocha, or you can go add your one vote for Nkwocha on the CAF website. Nkwocha is "far ahead" indeed.
Most of you never watched Nkwocha play. So na just to ignore una. In her time there wasn't much spotlight on female football yet, the records she has in the national team will take decades to break.

Make Oshoala win us 5 African cup of nations then we can have this conversation. Her 4 goals against Cameroon in 2004 finals still plays in my head.

This, plus success with the national team. One thing is for sure, with her trajectory oshoala will surpass them all.
Well, until she does it's way too premature to name her as the greatest female Nigerian player.

Even at old age I will pay money to still watch Nkwocha

So NIGERIANS now use a EUROPEAN CLUB to assess Nigerian Football & performance.

Tomorrow you expect the LOCAL INDUSTRIES to grow. It doesn't work that way.
That's stupidity with Inferiority complex as its foundation.
Sometimes I wonder how we think!.

We give the AFRICAN BEST PLAYER Title to someone who has never taken his or her National Team to Finals of any competition in Africa.
I was surprised when SALAH emerged as African BEST meanwhile EGYPT in his presence was eliminated ahead of Nigeria in the WORLD CUP.
For me this is a biased poll. Nkwocha is the greatest female Nigerian player of all time. Nkwocha had the goals, skills and most importantly Trophies and personal accolades.

By achievement and awards, yes however if we are to go by skills and precision, Perpetual Nkwocha was a monster of the game.

Congratulations to her.
Perpetual Nkwocha is the most decorated Female African player of all time. Both in skills and achievements she is far ahead of Oshoala. Nkwocha was a joy to watch. She made football looked so easy, her touches on the ball was a delight.

For Me Oshoala hasn't really played enough to be voted Nigerian greatest player of all time.

The I don't care attitude of most government properties is becoming obvious day by day. This is how many times are we confirming plane crash or near plane crash belong to Nigerian government. Bad it has to be a man barely 3 months on his job. His wife was in Lagos earlier this month to commission a market in barracks. I can still remember the elegance she wore in the posters.
So bad things just keep repeating itself while we watch helplessly.
Wait... You're writing this long epistle because Coas died? Na wa ooo. The ruling class must also taste the pain poor masses feel everyday. They should keep making our lives miserable by putting self interest ahead of public interest. In due time, they will all be paid.

Enjoy your poverty, I see your mindset is twisted, lol...anyways your view is inconsequential.
Well... It's your mindset that's actually twisted. You feel poor people are lazy and stubborn. Like seriously?

My views maybe Inconsequential to you because it's actually beyond your level of comprehension. Good luck believing that extremely poor people are lazy and stubborn.


Let me break it down for you. With emphasis on private wealth instead of public wealth that's why you can't travel from Abuja to Kaduna without the fear of being kidnapped and be asked to pay 100M. The more people that think like you the more mess we will continue to have.

Living conditions has deteriorated within the last 2 years.

The argument about them going to fight government directly means you have no clue about social order and how it operates in a society.

All over the world, we have this class of people, still progressive people provide safe havens to flourish, you can not blame a rich man for your poverty...Not everyone is a politician. There will always be miscreant in the society, but you must not allow them harass legitimate citizens. Some are just lazy, while some others are just stubborn, cultist, etc...
Poverty has nothing to do with being lazy or being stubborn. It's a failure of the society. Until we see it as such we will continue to look at the problem wrongly. A country with over 70% extremely poor people will be in flames soon. Maybe you should compare the number of extremely poor people to that of your police and army I think that will give you an idea about how huge the problem we have at hand is.

Mention any of those advanced society without welfare. From next month more than 40 million households in America will be receiving more than $3000 monthly as benefits.

The European are actually at the forefront of offering welfare packages to their citizens.

Most of those beggars grow up to become the neighborhood bag snatchers and muggers/robbers, because they feel relaxed in the area. Government must demolish all shanties, ensure all owners of properties lock it up, and eradicate these northern beggars from Lagos roads, and take them back to Northern states. Remove all urchins from Lekki.
This is what the society has created. It's just a matter of time for the Eldorado we have created in urban areas to start crumbling in the hands of the armies of the economically excluded class in Nigeria.

We can call them names like Touts, Hoodlums etc. But we can't deny the fact that they are Nigerians and this is their motherland. What the society has refused to give they will take by force even at the risk of death.

Until we start clamoring for a just society where everyone can survive and achieve their small goals without connection more of these social vices will still befall this nation

It's the deep rooted corruption that fuels the fraud called Nigeria for which they are ready to kill as many people as possible to keep the scam called Nigeria together.

This conversation nobody wants to have will only make armed agitation the only way out. Nigeria cannot continue on this path.

God bless you for this... They just opened office for police to extort people that are truly homeless.

Most estates in Lekki and Ikoyi are vacant. No legislation to make it illegal because it will affect them. They should keep doing rubbish the day is coming when the army of the poor will have them for breakfast

Bruv, we can and must try every possible solutions. When the Northern elites mire their own people in poverty and almajirism, as a deliberate policy to keep them subdued, how can the South do anything about that?

Will Sanwo Olu go and be building schools and providing jobs in the North?

Sometimes you can only focus on what you control because you cannot control the action or will of others.
Brother it's not just the problem of the north. Until there's a genuine effort to raise the economic well-being of the average Nigerian we will continue to have this problem.

Alot of people have been excluded economically. They are not part of the system that we run. They are just waiting for an opportunity to forcefully take from the commonwealth of their motherland.

So it's in the interest of the elites to see that an average Nigerian can be gainfully employed and contribute their quota to nation building.

A friend of mine in Texas rejected offers from FedEx, Ups within a space of two weeks and decided to take up a position with Amazon. An average Nigerian. No be say him na one genius. He told me that if all the Nigerian unemployed graduates relocate to Texas they won't still fill all the vacant positions.

Well, that's true.. Poverty is a weapon that these politicians use to achieve their evil aims.. While war on poverty may be important, rehabilitation of the miscreants on the streets too is another thing... I know someone who's really poor but they don't go around with arms threatening the peace of the nation.. It starts with the mind
You said rehabilitation? Na office them don open for police to extort people that are truly homeless.

The elites are just having a time of their life soon the poor will eat them for breakfast. Many currently are homeless.

At the last check Nigeria needs more than 17 million units of housing to address the housing problem in Nigeria and on top of that most estates in Ikoyi and Lekki are vacant. Some have been vacant since the day it was built.
