One day we’ll stop pretending to be “One Nigeria”. We don’t love each other enough to forge ahead. This is a Governor saying if innocent Southerners start getting killed, they shouldn’t expect protection. Such a statement should lead a governor to be impeached or to forcefully resign but Nigeria is NOT a country.

duni04:
Not a fan of Nigerian politics but this ought to be the most ridiculous legal argument i have ever heard. How can someone who was born in a town in present day Nigeria be excluded from contesting elections as a Nigerian because the town was in another country before he was born?
Joda is a town in pressnt day Nigeria, why on earth would someone in Abuja deny anyone in Joda the chance to contest any election because joda was once in Cameroon as far back as 1961

Absolutely ridiculous!!!

The Supreme court would have to step in to properly interprete the law in this case. They need to set a precedent on whether conferred citizenship is retrogressive more so in this very unusual case where another territory was absorbed. I'm sure one of the conditions for joining Nigeria un 1961 would have been promises from the Nigerian side that their rights to full benefits associated with being citizens of Nigeria would not be trampled on. Atiku should introduce that in his defence.

Malami is just playing politics. I doubt he’s that daft. As long as Joda is part of present day Nigeria, Atiku’s right to run can’t be abridged. He’s as Nigerian as can be.

What's that got to do with what I posted??

My bad. I replied to the wrong person.

RealLordZeus:

Based on this, she should be in her late thirties or early forties at most

First was a Surrogacy birth. The second was “equally controversial” as the article you shared stated.

How is investigating the age of a lady whose father wants to rule Nigeria irrelevant when it’ll help determine his true age? We ignore rationality when tribe is involved. This is why we are failing.

Don’t most wealthy Nigerians wear made in Nigeria and Made overseas?

Holding us back. And someone else said “be guided”. Nigeria is wasting.

Kriss216:
I'm from IMO, I was born in Owerri, I schooled in Owerri,(Nursery, Primary and University), I've lived 60% of my life in Owerri, what that man said about Owerri is 100% false!


Owerri got numerous lapses, but, everything that man said is not one of them!

But Nwanne, isn’t the picture you posted a picture of New Owerri? Most of Owerri isn’t like that.

Bro Nigeria is a joke. I paid four times for one useless 64 page passport. I paid in NY but on the appointment date the consulate officer said the passport machine has been down. They even tried to blame me and asked why I didn’t file 6 months in advance? They also asked why I didn’t call before coming. I then asked why they didn’t email or call me telling me not to show up.

At the consulate, I saw a woman who flew in with her children from Chicago and booked a hotel. The consulate told her to come back some other day. The woman was crying. The place was full with Nigerians from all over the US some with travel dates around the corner. All this prepared me for the country I was visiting Sha. I had to pay for an emergency travel certificate which I didn’t present to immigration at Nnamdi Azikiwe airport out of anger. They still let me in.

In Abuja I paid for a 32 page at the bank according to the immigration website and an immigration officer I met at the bank. At immigration HQ Abuja, the officer was angry I paid in the bank and said my payment might not be verifiable. Later on after making me do biometrics, he told me there was no 32pg Passport. If HQ doesn’t have 32 then where would 32 be? Anyways I thought they’ll just give me a 64 page but they Insisted I repay for a new 64 page passport. After shouting and shouting, my sister paid ( I was prepared to sleep there). After paying for the 64, an officer pulled me to the side and said he can expedite it. I said cool.

He called me two days later and told me to come collect my passport. When I got there I took my passport and left. He expected payment for expediting it.

The Bible that the colonial masters and slave traders forced on our ancestors and used to discard our original religion also teaches compassion and forgiveness. Reread your Bible.

A health 70+ year old shouldn’t be deprived of that right. Let the citizens decide if the 70+ year old isn’t good enough.
BTW this is Nigeria where people have multiple ages.

You have anger issues. I hope you don’t beat your woman . Next time just tell her you like you’re privacy and keep it moving. If she doesn’t respect your wish, you’re allowed to move on.
I don’t like the fact that you’re thankful it was over the phone and that she was far away and that it may end terribly the next time. It makes you sound freaking dangerous and someone no one should be in a relationship with. This type of Violence is of the devil.

ashacot:


But Biden has been declared winner na

Courts can still overturn. Not every state has certified.

In other words, she may win.

All the spiritual power in Africa and we still got colonized. Mmhmmm

It was in inhumane when they did it to alleged IPob members. I wonder how some of the past justifiers see this.
What is wrong is wrong. Nigeria is decayed.

Unik3030:
I am a yoruba man n I support this,what's d big deal in respecting government order.

It means you’re uncivilized and used to oppression. I wish you speedy recovery.

Smh. This Kanu is mental.

ModelX:
Crap. If those 'victims' are not actors, then they were likely injured in the stampede. See that baba with his cap still firmly on his head and readjusting his arm. With the level of 'blood', I highly doubt he would be conscious if he was indeed struck by high-powered military rounds. Fact.

Then those clowns singing solidarity forever. Man, that's just unbelievable abeg.

Ok who irresponsibly caused the stampede?

In the past “decade” but he just noticed. It’s all a game to them.

It’s for a greater cause. Nigeria must wake up. The protest must be heard and felt.

“A bloody sergeant”
His mentality is evidence of the decay in the Nigerian society. He doesn’t respect sergeants.
Anyways Colonel or no Colonel, Nigerian citizens shouldn’t be harassed. His rank in the army should never matter.

Is he really a lawyer? Lol. I’m afraid for Nigeria. All these politicians are the same.

Peterjnr123:
Pls don't be deceived, there's nothing like Alien or other planets, aliens are nothing but demons who wants to destroy the world, turn the back of mankind against the belief of God... there's nothing like other planets the Bible made us know that in the beginning God created the heaven and Earth they was no time it mentioned Venus Saturn etc...pls let's wise up

I no I will be critised...buh it's alright

You don’t know your truth, you simply believe your truth. The Bible didn’t make you know, it made you believe. Don’t shut down other people’s beliefs.

helinues:


Is Venus Habitable?

Make you guys dey make use of your freely gifted senses now

Very close minded statement. What is inhabitable for earth’s organisms isn’t necessarily inhabitable for alien life. That’s why they’re alien. They’re different.

Check the IGR of Lagos in 1999 and come back with your figures. Then compare it to now.

And please mention such states! Lagos and Abuja are the only places to be in Nigeria. The focus should be on pressuring other states' governors to perform as that's the key to a prosperous country - not all the noises about Lagos!

Fair. I’ve checked Nigeria(sum of all state’s IGR) and individual state’s IGR in 1999 vs today too. I’ve also considered inflation.

Today Lagos is one of the better performing states but let’s not act as if all states started at a level playing field. Lagos started with an advantage and was expected to continue doing better.

1759ademola:

Like where pls? Lekki Bridge was there before Tinubu 1999 Abi? I doubt if you're grown up before 1999 to know how Lagos was. Many of you hypocrites could not breathe for 24 hrs without visiting Lagos. If you could have a place like Lagos in SE, it's Okorocha's son-in-law that will be your Governor.

I lived in Lagos from 1989-1998. In that period, Lagos was #1.

Misterdhee1:

How many state compare to Lagos in terms of good governance? So because the people have been consistent in keeping a performing team, they are foolish abi? What would you say about Abia and those SE states that have continued to vote pdp despite being the lowest of the lows in several developmental metrics in the country? Those ones are sharp abi? You guys are hypocrites. Fat, disgraceful ones.

But Lagos is a former capital. Lagos didn’t become the best Nigerian State when Tinubu took over in 1999. In fact, other states are closing the huge gap Lagos once had on them.

No reasonable person will confuse that picture for Tokyo, Dubai or London.

Where do you live? Where I live, a lot of Africans love Trump. It’s misguided though.

Women should have inheritance rights but wills will circumvent a SC decision contrary to the current Igbo culture. Eventually we shall get there.
