PoliticsRe: Ohanaeze Ndigbo Rejects Senate Bill Naming Ooni, Sultan As Co-Chairs Of TRC by kachistone: 7:56pm On Jul 28, 2025
saddler:
There is nothing like Nri or Eze nri whatsoever kingdom.

All igbos agree that igbos dont practice Monarchial style of government.

All these nri this , Aro that are all attempts at revisionism.
Lol. Who told you Igbos didn't have kings? The Igbos had monarchies in places like Nri, Aro, Onitsha and Agbor before colonialism. However, the Igbo kings were not absolute monarchs because there was still a practice of village democracy similar to the Greeks. Or will you say the Greeks didn't have kings too?

Like it or not, these two are the biggest traditional leaders in north and south respectively. Ohanaezu can hug the nearest transformer. This is done and dusted already
They are the two biggest kings in their respective zones. And we respect them but the Ooni's kingdom does not extend into South East. There was no history of conquest between both regions and we have our ancient kingdoms like Nri and Arochukwu

muhammaduyusufu:
Why are Ohaeneze Ndigbo releasing statement when they always claim Igbos font have kings?

Anywhere you see Emir in the North, it originated from the Sokoto Caliphate.

Anywhere you see Irukere (fly whisk), Abere and Ada in the South, it originated from Ife. Even the Obi of Onitsha dey carry Abere upandan.
Eze Nri (Nri Kingdom) and Eze Aro (Arochukwu) are two prominent Igbo kings. Nri in Anambra state is said to be the home of Igbos. Obi of Onitsha is prominent because of Onitsha. The two kings I first mentioned predate colonialsm. The Igbos had kings before the colonial masters came but the kings were not absolute monarchs.

Infact, Eze Nri was more of a priestly king so he expanded his kingdom through religion while Eze Aro used his military might.

You can read about both of them. Obi of Onitsha is very prominent because of Onitsha.

These people celebrate every evil that befalls others. They celebrated the death of even Yaradua back then, but today, they tell us Yaradua is the best so far. Nigeria has only one problem, these people!
Enugu mourned when Yar'Adua died. I was a student at UNN then and I knew how the atmosphere in the school was sombre. We loved Yar'Adua to the core.
LiteratureRe: Happy 91st Birthday To Wole Soyinka by kachistone: 8:15am On Jul 13, 2025
Happy birthday Prof Soyinka. I celebrate you and your achievements in the literary world. I grew up reading your works like The Lion and The Jewel, The Jero Plays, The Interpreters and a lot of other poems.

In as much as I disagree with your political leanings, it does not stop me from admiring your intellectual prowess and sagacity in the field of literature. Your Nobel Prize in literature is a testament to the fact that you are a don in the literary space.

Happy birthday Prof. I wish you a longer and more energetic life sir.

Kind regards.

Moniepoint has a Nigerian founder but you must understand that Opay invested heavily in the business and I am not surprised that they are everywhere. They had O'Ride too but the government policy killed bike e-hailing.
EducationRe: JAMB: Okeke Christian From Anambra Is UTME Top Scorer For 2025 But ..... by kachistone: 5:02pm On Jul 08, 2025
Mindlog:
By JAMB's regulations, is it not allowed for an enrolled student in a university or expelled from the university, to sit for another JAMB in order to move to another university to study a different course?
I know many students that rewrote JAMB after they were offered courses they didn't fancy. Mind you, such students were already admitted into courses such as Medical laboratory, Biochemistry, Microbiology etc. Some others rewrote JAMB while studying Theatre Arts, Linguistics etc to get admitted into Law.

1993-1998. He ruled for six years. He succeeded Ernest Shonekan who was the head of the Interim National Government. Gen Abdulsam Abubakar succeeded Gen Abacha in 1998 after Abacha died.

Government don't own properties, you only acquire them through through government. Check my subsequent post in this thread for explanation.

The same system western countries all of us are running to is operating.
But you cannot build in Nigeria without government involvement. So how is this different from what you are proposing?

I agree with you that the government should have packages for older citizens but your proposal is advanced socialism which is another term for communism.
PoliticsRe: Tinubu Can Only Be Countered This Time By A Northerner - Dele Momodu(vid) by kachistone: 11:59pm On Jul 05, 2025
Obaaderemi2:
If the northerner had picked Obi as running mate in 2023 he would have destroyed tinubu before 3pm
It wouldn't have worked because the sentiment down south was for power shift and Buhari destroyed the "unity" in the country by running a "Fulani government." Don't forget what Wike and the G-5 govs did. APC would have had a similar issue if BAT wasn't given the ticket. There would have been an implosion in the party. PDP could have won that election if they gave OBI or any Southerner the ticket as the momentum before the election was against APC because of Buhari's misrule.

DeepSight:
You are describing Welfare States that operate in a capitalist setting and as such are really mixed socialist economies. This is different from the communism you at first recommended.
He is mixing welfarism with communism. I still wonder how his postulation that government should own all properties can spur development. He doesn't know that it could lead to capital flight as people will take their capital to areas with freedom.
TV/MoviesRe: Only People Born In 80's Will Understand by kachistone: 11:47pm On Jul 05, 2025
yemmit90:
That is who we are by nature and circumstances. Nigeria and Africa need these 3 solid rules to make progress.

1. Forbid private ownership of properties. No one should be allow to erect a structure except government or authorised agencies. All land should belong to the government.

2. Government most take total of 100% care of the young below 18yrs and those above 65yrs.

3. Social security for unemployed people should be a must for the government.

If we can do all or one of the above, you will see a tremendous human development like what we are seeing in western countries. You don't expect poverty striken people whose major focus is to accumulate wealth for the future to be innovative.
How do you think government ownership of all properties can spur development? This looks like extreme socialism. Can you explain how government ownership of all properties can lead to development ?

There is if he's patient. Let him start with VP. Obi is popular in the south and middle belt but for now only a strong northerner as frontrunner can defeat Tinubu
Why did the strong northener not defeat him in 2023. Obi is the only one that can defeat BAT now.
PoliticsRe: APC And ADC Acronyms May Confuse Voters by kachistone: 6:14pm On Jul 03, 2025

He should just leave for another club. Conte don't like Nigeria players. He did to to Mikel at Chelsea, now Osimhen.
But Victor Moses had a spectacular season as a wing back under Conte at Chelsea. Conte's issue with Mikel was because he (Mikel) forced his way to the Olympics against the coach's wish.

sholatech:
This might be a political masterstroke, especially if Jagaban now makes Kwakwanso his VP candidate for the next election. E go loud!!
It would cause serious problems at the N/East where Shettima hails from. Getting Kwankwaso into the APC will solidify BAT's chances of reelection but choosing him as a VP will make him lose.

Adding Shettima and his supporters to the disgruntled Northern politicians won't be ideal. Don't forget El Rufai and his people are still plotting.

Agbotikuyo, which type of clothes did you expect the president to wear? Is there any recommended cloth to condolence visit?

You are enjoying democracy that's why you can run your mouth. The addressed you gave on democracy day even though you are not in any position to do that could have put you in trouble but the presidency don't just have time for your pettiness.

Continue lamenting, nagging and crying all in the name of opposition
Are you happy that children were lined up in the rain to welcome the president in Benue on a solemn visit? It looked like a carnival instead of a visit to a state that had had at least 200 residents who were massacred. It is wrong.

PoliticsRe: Quick Summary Of Our Requests Towards The Electoral Reforms by kachistone: 12:01am On May 26, 2025
BluntCrazeMan:
QUICK SUMMARY OF OUR ELECTORAL REFORMS REQUESTS:

(We are a civil society organization registered in Nigeria [name withheld].. We submitted our request for electoral reforms at the two national assembly houses, and also submitted same requests to the members of electoral reform committees in the both houses.)

In addition, I don't think INEC should testify in courts about an election. They will always defend themselves no matter how shoddy the election is. Instead, they should just supply whatever the parties in the elections ask at the courts. I think the lawyers call them exhibits.

Look at JAMB for example, they vowed about the integrity of these last exams but an external audit revealed otherwise.

INEC should not be joined in post election matters in my opinion. Just supply the materials needed at the courts and let the parties argue about them.

1. We requested for a Direct & Instant Electronic Transmission of the results into the “Digitized Electronic Collation System”, coupled with an Instant Electronic Collation of results.

2. We requested for a Direct & Instant uploading of the photos of polling-units-results, and also uploading of the photos of ALL the collated-results which were officially announced at all the collation levels.

3. We requested for a Compulsory and Immediate Forensic Auditing of all the election results at all levels, including the Forensic Auditing of the BVAS and the IREV, and also for all the papers and documents which were used for the election.

4. We requested that the CTCs of all tendered documents must be admitted as evidence during the Petition Tribunals, and not to be regarded as “DUMPED”, (Let it not be that since there are no series of multiple witnesses to testify to the individual CTCs, then it wouldn't be admitted.).

5. We requested that the staff of INEC (Both permanent and adhoc staff) must be identified with special unique staff-tag identity-numbers which gets re-issued for every election cycle, and every staff who signs any sheet must indicate his own unique staff-tag identity-number beside his name and signature on any of such sheets.

..

..

*** AND THEN,, IN THE ALTERNATIVE ***
SHOULD IN CASE THE SUGGESTED REFORMS WERE NOT SUCCESSFULLY PASSED INTO LAW.


Then, we suggested that the party-agents should brace-up, because they will now have lots of works to do during the elections, since the old Electoral Laws would still be the laws that are still in place.

a. The party-agents should be more meticulous and detailed while raising their disputes., and they should carefully note down all the noticed errors at any stage.

b. They should get the full names and positions of the INEC Officers, and write them down properly.

c. They should get video evidence of whenever the INEC officials are calling out the results, and also, get video evidence of when they themselves are raising the disputes and also when the INEC Officials are giving their own responses to the issues that were raised in the disputes.

d. They should make sure not to storm-out of the centers (or leave the centers) out of anger, no matter what the officials are doing.. And then, they must have to sign the sheets and indicate on the original sheet that they disagreed -- this could be done by writing “DISAGREE” on the sheet after signing.
