China is the most populous country in the world, the entire Africa runs to them for loan, can Nigeria even lend Benin Republic N10,000?

It has nothing to do with increase in population it’s is just a failed government.

But the impact of a failed government in an overpopulated nation will be worse than in a nation where the population is moderate.

Esseite:
Nigeria better come up with policies to discourage population increase.

The only bargaining chip of the North? Nigeria's population growth will continue unabated.
The best thing for Nigeria is a break up of the country. The country can never make progress as it is presently constituted.

I tire! Elumelu's net worth isn't even up to $1bn. He's not a billionaire in $.

Do u knw Wat it means to hv 100% in English?
100% means u did marvelously well in both written and spoken English.

Primary school English assessment isn't like IELTS where there's a test of writing, speaking, reading or listening abilities. The kids are never tested on their ability to speak English language in most (if not all) Nigerian schools.
It's possible that all the questions in the continuous assessment tests and exams were multiple choice, and bright children can easily score 100% in such exams.
Any child that can easily score 100% in Maths, General Paper, and 2 other subjects can equally score 100% in English. It's primary school, so the questions are usually not very difficult.

People are funny, I swear. So the girl got naked alone with her boyfriend, they had all the pre-intimacy, and d guy rubbed his erect dick and even ejaculated on her vulva, yet she still believes she was still a virgin? If the guy had slid the phallus in and out of her mouth, anus, or inbetween her breasts, she most likely would still be calling herself a virgin. Nonsense!

veeceesynergy:
How can she hv 100% in English with dat Pidgin she was speaking.
Little wonder y we hv lots of graduates with good result yet Un-employable.

However it is, CONGRATULATIONS little Success

What the heck are you saying? Did anybody tell you she couldn't speak good English just because she was very proficient in pidgin? Delta (especially Warri and Sapele) people love communicating in pidgin and they are very good at it, but it really says nothing about their mastery of English.

More so, there is a difference between written and spoken English. Even in England, children are still taught English language in schools. You can be good in written English but poor in spoken English and vice versa. The English exams in Nigerian schools only tests people's ability to understand and write in English.

NigerDeltan:
The elections are for house of assembly candidates from those places that election did not hold not governorship

So why did igberetv give it that headline that made it seem like it had anything to do with Wike and Awara?

BabaAduras:
It is a pity that common sense is not common. The question I would have asked you what do you think PMB will gain by creating a bad image for the government he is leading?

And what has he done to stop the attacks?
How many people have been arrested?
How come the Military, Police and DSS cannot track the killers down?

mmadu5:
I LOVE THIS . KILL ALL THE MUSLIM CUNTS NEXT LEVEL NEVER START

The Benue victims are Christians, just like most of the victims of herdsmen attack in the Middle Belt.

Amuocha:
They should have taken her to.a good hospital

Now who will pay for the hospital bill

Same thing going through my mind. I think she would have survived if they took her to a good hospital and she had surgeries to fix whatever injuries she sustained in her abdomen. It wasn't a stab on the neck or chest where the victims bleed to death in a question of minutes.
May her soul rest in peace.

Neoteny:
Do you deny that your overarching goal is to seize back Aso Rock?

If so, you've failed. Twice. That's political burial. Almost the entire country rejected you wholesale, save for some misguided Yeasterners as per usual.

Those states that voted in PDP governors voted for personalities, not for your dreaded and irrelevant party, else they wouldn't have brutally massacred you at the presidential elections. Also watch out how some of them will transition to the APC soon.... starting with Adamawa.

Besides... didn't you lose some states as well, including Saraki's Kwara and your darling Dankwambo's Gombe? Even Kano slipped right by you despite a tainted governor.

Kaduna defied your religious stance and beat you black and blue

You're simply consoling yourself.

The fact that PDP even stood a chance in 2019 shows how much Buhari is a failure. Considering the goodwill he enjoyed in 2015 and the fact that he still had a 2nd term to contest for, PDP was never going to be an option in 2019 if not that Buhari failed massively. Until late 2018, nobody expected PDP to stand a chance.

PDP lost the presidency in 2015. They made an attempt at a comeback in 2019 and failed. There is no political burial, except you don't understand anything about politics. Buhari stood a very high chance of winning again cos he used power of incumbency. Jonathan simply refused to do that in 2015 cos he didn't want more Southerners to die in the North. It happened in 2011 and would have been worse in 2015.
The North wanted Jonathan out by all means and he understood the implication of forcing himself to remain in power.

PDP lost Imo State in 2011 to Rochas. They tried to take it back in 2015 but Rochas rigged himself in with his power of incumbency. What happened in Imo last month? I can bet you, that's the kind of situation that will happen at the national level in 2023. Northerners still respect Buhari and that's a fact. That explains the reason why he won but many other APC gubernatorial candidates struggled in that same North. By the time his tenure ends, that's when you will understand how worthless APC is as a party. Even in the South West which I believe is your region, PDP did better in 2019 than in 2015. By 2023, they will collect one or 2 more SW states.

NSCIA should shut up. The point made by CAN is valid.
CAN never said all the positions should be shared equally. They were only saying that at least a Christian legislator should be considered for one of those posts.

In all the instances NSCIA quoted, there was never a time that the President, Senate President, Speaker and Chief Justice were all Christians. It has never happened in Nigeria. Even for the 2009 - 2011 period they quoted, Dimeji Bankole (a Muslim) was the Speaker, and Jonathan wasn't actually supposed to be the President if Yar'Adua hadn't become sick. Now CAN is saying, let a Christian at least be the Speaker (which will kinda mirror the 2009 - 2011 situation). To even make matters worse, APC is considering a North Central Muslim (Wase) for Deputy Speaker.

CAN may have deviated from their original path, but it isn't the business of Muslims. The present circumstances of Nigeria has created much mutual suspicion across both religious groups so CAN will continue to mount pressure on the political leaders who want to miximise every opportunity to suppress the Church.

melzabull:
shut up

I havent heard or seen you call on Yorubas to stop each time they display their foolish hate and bigotry against Igbos

It's a sign of immaturity to start throwing about tribalistic words and statements without provocation. There was simply no reason to start mentioning Yorubas at that time. You can celebrate all the Igbo Amaka stuff, that's perfectly alright but to start involving other tribes without a just cause is childish.

That you haven't seen me challenge those who insult Igbos doesn't mean I don't do it. My moniker isn't a popular one on Nairaland so you probably haven't noticed any of my comments before.

Neoteny:
2015 didn't tell, 2019 didn't tell, with this track record of failure your prospects for 2023 ain't looking too good.

But we just agreed that PDP took 6 states from you in 2019 when you guys were shouting that PDP will be buried. Between now and 2023, at least 5 more states plus the presidency would have been taken back from you. You can take it to the bank.

Neoteny:
We're happy to donate any states you want as long as we keep your gathering of viking plunderers away from our commonwealth at the top.

2023 will tell, bro.

Neoteny:
I didn't know PDP was aiming low

But we got Kwara, your Patron's enclave. Now that's a great consolation price because your saraki is forever humbled.

Aiming low? As at 2015, you guys said PDP was dead and would be buried by 2019. 2019 came and the same dead party collected 6 of the States controlled by your party as at the time you first said PDP was dead. What kind of death is that?
I have little or no feelings for Saraki. He was part of those who humbled PDP in 2015, so it's a good payback for him.

Xander85:
Abia being there made the whole thing suspect!

It's about the ease of registering and running a business in those states, not about the condition of their roads. Abia is more business friendly than many other states. They just haven't got governors who are very determined to transform their roads.

kingemzy5:
Afonjas and Jihadist come let's wine and dine together.... am still looking for Ogun Ekiti Osun Ondo Oyo Akure Kwara Do you know the funniest thing Igbos businesses are dominated in all the states mentioned.... Kaduna abia Anambra lagos and Enugu..
Afonjas and Jihadist see what hate has caused you the more you insult us the more we continue to prosper
You can continue insulting the igbos that were arrested in Dubai while your states continue to go down the drain .... Jihadist your case is the worst na una dey rank poverty League Table
Igbos let's gather here and laugh in swahili

JUST STOP THIS!
YOU GUYS ARE NOT THE ONLY IGBOS ON THIS PLATFORM. IF YOU AREN'T YET TIRED OF THE TRIBAL BANTERS, SOME OF US ARE ALREADY FED UP!

vince2016:
By saying Igbo is the best tribe you are already undermining or diminishing other tribes and this mind set is problematic in itself for you and your people. There is NO best tribe nor WORST tribe!! Do you even know, especially in SA, that the people and Govt are beginning to differentiate igbos from other Nigerians because they exhibit certain bad trait common to these set of Nigerians.
80% of Igbos outside the country, paint Nigeria in bad image ....do you know that?

Stop quoting figures stupidly. Use your sense.
Nearly half of all the positive news about Nigeria coming from abroad is as a result of Igbos. Where did you get the 80% from? Do you know the magintide of that number?

Neoteny:
We've already retired everything you hold dear:

Your Atiku
Your PDP
Your Dubai Plan
Your Saraki
Your Kwankwaso

Your suspended CJI is already semi-retired...

You've retired PDP, yet by last month, they won 6 states that were won by APC in 2015? What kind of retirement is that?

Opinedecandid:
Yep

ItzBIM:
BA and virgin Atlantic


medview stopped a while ago.

Oh, Virgin! Alright.

ItzBIM:
When will they start flying to London jare.

Can you imagine only two direct flight enter London from Nigeria.


Need to jaapa before next level begins.

Only 2 direct flights - BA and Medview?

kemmylove101:
This is really sad.. you see why yoruba should have their own country. I know what those guys did in UAE will have consequence. If today yoruba has their country, we will have the highest visa free countries in the whole africa. its high time we let biafra go.

Hope u remember that ur region is still the headquarters of Internet fraud. Ibadan is their domain.

Randy100:
just like monks and priest too. Nuns stays in the monastery and has no business with the outside world while reverend sisters stays in the convent and they mingle with the world. The truth is that both are called "sisters."

Alright.

Randy100:
Fake news. What is the name of the priest? What is the name of the dioceses? Who are the nuns? Mtchew. For those attacking me for doubting the news, look at why I am doubting the news. Firstly, I have searched the news all through the internet and it is only Nairaland that is carrying it. Secondly, catholic nuns has no business with the dioceses, they live in the monastery unlike the reverend sisters that lives in the convent and are control by the dioceses. Lets speak againist fake news, it is like a cancer.

Please, what's the difference between nun and sister, cos I used to think they meant exactly the same?

tactius:
Well, I won't blame the Catholic Church

In that church, if you cannot stand up to the demands of being a priest, you leave the priesthood. Nothing would happen to you.

I once read about a priest and a nun who left their vocation to get married to each other. They were married by the confessor of the former priest. Many of the ex-nun's fellow nuns were present at the wedding and were said to be very happy.

Obviously, this priest loved his office more than he loved serving God.

If you cannot follow the demands of your profession, then leave.

Unfortunately, the Catholic Church makes it seem like an unpardonable sin to quit the priesthood.

olas24u:
They can't join you to be minority,even before the war you cheated them of the position of priemer during regional rule.

My dear, Igbos don't need anybody to be a great nation.

The only thing the South South has to offer is crude oil which is already becoming worthless. In the next 30 years, crude oil will be far more worthless than it is now. Even at that, Igbos still have a little crude which can serve the entire Igbo nation.

You might want to tell me that Igbo land is small and landlocked, but how does it matter? Rwanda is one of the most successful African nations today. It is landlocked and even smaller in landmass than the South East of Nigeria. The same way Rwanda rose from the ashes of the genocide of 1994 that nearly completely ruined the nation and has become a force in Africa today is the way Igbo land rose from the ruins of the civil war, and has overtaken some other regions that didn't fight any war, in terms of almost all indices of development.

Get this into your head, IGBOS NEED NOBODY TO BE SUCCESSFUL OR DEVELOPED. We export success and development to other places.

olas24u:
Biafra can't fly unless ibo nation,you cannot claim people land .

I'm referring to the Igbo nation. Of course it will be called Biafra whether any part of South South joins it or not.

olas24u:
You don't want biafra again?you like to share political positions in zoo country.

Are you guys ready to call for referendum for Biafra?
I never supported Biafran agitation before last year, but with what you guys are doing, I will do whatever I can to see that come thru.
You hate us so much yet you force us into the same country. Isn't it stupid?

Ajengogo:
Igbos are the architects of their doom. You can't eat your cake and still have it. Their political orientation is always at divergence with popular political views because there are always blinded by ethnic chauvinism. This agitation is dead on arrival.

What kind of amnesia are you guys suffering from?
So just because Igbos lost out 4 years ago, we won't hear again? Which political orientation of Igbos was divergent with popular views between 1999 and 2015?
You guys are plain irritating!
